Queen Xiaoxi

Chapter 388 Koudan
After lunch was finished, Kangxi led Wanxian back to Qingxi Bookstore.

Wanxian held Kangxi's hand and yawned as she walked.

Kangxi glanced at Wanxian lovingly and said softly: "Good boy, are you sleepy?"

Wanxian nodded and said, "Well, this slave is indeed sleepy."

After hearing this, Kangxi quickly took Wanxian back to his dormitory, and took Wanxian to wash and change clothes quickly.

After Kangxi finished changing his clothes, he dismissed his servants and got on the bed.Kangxi opened the quilt and just lay down.

Wanxian half-opened her eyes and hurriedly clung to her.

Kangxi was both funny and happy and said: "You little thing." After Kangxi said enough, he took the initiative to hold Wanxian in his arms and closed his eyes.

When Wanxian woke up, she was surprised to find that she was still in Kangxi's arms.

As soon as Wanxian woke up, Kangxi touched Wanxian's hair lovingly and said, "You're awake. Did you sleep well?"

Wanxian quickly replied: "I slept very well, my servant. Long live my Lord, why haven't you gone to the front to handle the government affairs today?"

"What, you want to drive me away?" Kangxi said teasingly.

Wanxian hurriedly explained: "That's not the case, Long Live Lord. I just think that after taking a nap, you go to the front to deal with court affairs. Therefore, I am a little surprised that you are still with me today."

Kangxi pinched Wanxian's little face and said, "I am also a human being, so naturally I am lazy sometimes."

Wanxian was happy and hugged Wanxian's waist and said, "Well, then, Long Live Lord, you should have a good rest. Long Live Lord, would you like my servant to give you a squeeze?" Wan Xian said and wanted to get up from Kang Xi's arms. , pressed Kangxi's shoulders.

Kangxi shook his head and asked, "No problem, what are your plans for this afternoon?"

"I want to dye the Kou Dan today." Wanxian said excitedly.

"Koudan?" Kangxi said, lifting Wanxian's hand and caressing it carefully.

Originally, Wanxian's hands were a little rough, and her fingertips still had some calluses from rough work.It's just because of the careful maintenance after entering the palace that her hands can be regarded as slender.

Kangxi touched Wanxian's fingers and said, "Yes, such beautiful hands will look great if they are dyed with bright cinnamon. I will accompany you to dye khaodan today, okay?"

"Really?" Wanxian raised her head and asked in disbelief.

"It's not true. When did I lie to you?" Kangxi patted Wanxian's little head angrily.

Wanxian embarrassedly rubbed the area where she had just been photographed, and smiled sheepishly at Kangxi.

"You." Kangxi couldn't help but say two words to Wanxian, and then kissed Wanxian's full red lips lovingly.

Wanxian couldn't believe it and opened her eyes wide, blankly letting Kangxi do what he did.

When Wanxian could no longer breathe, Kangxi let Wanxian go.He pressed Wanxian's little head onto his chest.

Wanxian lay obediently in Kangxi's arms, breathing heavily.

Kangxi also patted Wanxian's back gently.

After Wanxian calmed down and came back, Kangxi opened a corner of the bed curtain and said to the outside: "Come in, come in and serve."

As soon as Kangxi finished speaking, words of agreement came from outside the dormitory.

Then I heard the door creaking.

Kangxi patted Wanxian's back, and the two stood up and sat on the bed together.

Kangxi sat cross-legged and ordered to the outside of the bed: "Lift the curtain."

Hearing this, Qiaoguo and Yunxia hurriedly and carefully put away the bed tent.

Kangxi first got off the bed and put his feet on the pedals.

Caixia quickly stepped forward to help Kangxi put on his dragon boots.

After Kangxi put on his shoes, he stood up and stood in front of the bed to stretch his body.

Nanny Gu quickly stepped forward to help Wanxian get up.

Wanxian put on her shoes and told Qiaoguo and Yunxia, ​​"You don't have to serve here anymore. Go and prepare the materials for dyeing the koudan later."

Qiaoguo and Yunxia took the order and quickly left the dormitory to prepare supplies.Kangxi stretched his body and said with a teasing smile to Wanxian: "This is the first time for me to accompany someone to dye koudan."

"This is my first time, too. I mentioned this accidentally when I was talking to Galudai. Long live my Lord, Galudai's nails are also dyed with kodan. They are light red and very beautiful." Wanxian told Kangxi. Interesting stories about the little girl’s boudoir.

"Then why don't you dye koudan with Galudai?" Kangxi asked patiently, wearing regular clothes.

Wanxian replied: "It was originally an appointment with Galudai. It's just that Galudai said that she has to accompany the princess to manage the East Palace in the past few days and has no free time. Long live my Lord, you don't know, Galudai It’s troublesome to talk about Rankodan.”

"What's the trouble?" Kangxi stepped forward to Wanxian and tied the buckle on Wanxian's chest with his own hands.

Upon seeing this, Nurse Gu quickly stepped aside.

"I heard from Galudai that this dye must be dyed three or four times in a row before the color can be dyed on the nails." Wanxian was pulled to the dressing table by Kangxi and told.

Kangxi smiled and pressed Wanxian on the chair in front of the dressing table, and said: "It turns out that it is so complicated. It seems that it takes a lot of effort to make your nails look good."

"Isn't it?" Wanxian was about to comb her hair with an ivory comb, but she said hesitantly to Kangxi: "Long live my Lord, if you are busy, you don't have to accompany me."

"What? You don't want me to accompany you." Kangxi took the ivory comb from Wanxian's hand and combed Wanxian's hair.

Wanxian quickly explained: "Long live Lord, that's not what I mean. I don't think it's cumbersome to dye the cinnamon pills, so that you won't be bored, Lord Long live."

"As long as you stay with me, I won't feel bored." Kangxi nodded Wanxian's forehead and said.

Seeing that Kangxi didn't mind, Wanxian breathed a sigh of relief and smiled in the dressing mirror.

After Nanny Gu combed Wanxian's hair, Kangxi personally took out a silver-plated and jewel-embedded phoenix hairpin from the jewelry box and tied it in Wanxian's hair himself.

The silver and gold-plated jeweled phoenix hairpin: the silver-gilt needle, the silver-gilt dotted emerald phoenix, the tassels with rubies, corals, pearls, and the falling horns of rubies, sapphires, and tourmalines are incomparably beautiful.

Kangxi took the initiative to select a few pomegranate flowers of the right color from the freshly picked flowers presented by Nurse Gu and put them into Wanxian's hair.

When Wanxian was dressed up, Kangxi took Wanxian and looked at it carefully, and said with satisfaction: "Not bad, it looks good."

Wanxian reached out and touched the hairpin and the pomegranate flower on it, smiling sweetly at Kangxi.

Qiaoguo and Yunxia carefully held the objects and materials of dyeing pills, and approached Kangxi and Wanxian carefully.

Kangxi took Wanxian and sat in front of the warm bed, and the tax controller said: "Okay, why don't you wait for the empress to dye the koudan."

Qiaoguo and Yunxia didn't dare to delay, so they quickly and carefully stepped forward, carefully placed the bright flowers in a small bowl and pounded them with a small pestle.After the flowers were mashed into a paste and served in a jade bowl, Qiaoguo carefully added a small amount of alum and beeswax into the jade bowl and carefully stirred evenly.After mixing evenly, Yunxia took out the silver scissors and cut the silk floss into a shape the size of a fingernail, and then covered the silk floss with flower juice.

Qiaoguo took Yunxia and handed over the slices soaked in flower juice and stuck them on Wanxian's nails.

Yun Xia hurriedly wrapped Wanxian's nails with the cut strips of cloth, and replied: "My Lady, please wait for a quarter of an hour. In a quarter of an hour, we will dye it for the second time."

Wanxian nodded and looked at Kangxi who was watching with interest.

After Kangxi coughed twice, he said to Wanxian: "I didn't expect that it would take so many steps to dye a kodan. The color will definitely look good if you dye it like this." After finishing speaking, Kangxi picked up the teacup and took a sip. Tea.

Wanxian saw this and said coquettishly: "Long live the Lord, my slave wants to drink too."

Upon hearing this, Kangxi opened the tea lid, blew on the tea in the teacup, and then fed it directly to Wanxian with the teacup.

After Wanxian took two sips, she said: "It's such a hot day, long live my Lord, you still drink such hot tea."

"Drinking hot tea is good for your health." Kangxi advised helplessly.

A quarter of an hour later, Qiaoguo and Yunxia stepped forward to untie the cloth strips wrapped around Wanxian's fingers, revealing a faint light red color on her ten nails.

Kangxi also stepped forward to look at it curiously.

After repeating this for three or four times, Wanxian's nails were completely dyed with a bright and beautiful rouge color.

Kangxi stepped forward and took Wanxian's slender hand, and couldn't help boasting: "It's like peeling onion roots with your fingers, holding vermillion pills in your mouth, and making delicate steps with qianqian, which is unparalleled in the world."

Although Wanxian didn't know the meaning of the poem Kangxi narrated, she also understood that it meant to boast about herself.Wanxian couldn't help but feel proud. She stretched out her fingers towards Kangxi and said coquettishly: "Long live my lord, my slave's hands look good."

"It looks good." Kangxi touched Wanxian's hand and said.

Wanxian looked at her hand and thought it looked good.

Upon seeing this, Kangxi couldn't help but suggest: "In that case, why not take this opportunity to dye the nails on your feet?"
