Queen Xiaoxi

Chapter 420 The first gift
At noon, the team stopped to rest.Wanxian got off the empress dowager's phoenix chariot and hurriedly walked to Kangxi's chariot in front.

Zhao Sanxi, who was guarding the carriage, quickly greeted Wanxian, and while helping Wanxian get into the carriage, he said: "Mother, you are back. Lord Long live is reading a book inside."

Wanxian got on the carriage, and Liang Jiugong, who happened to be guarding the door, immediately opened the door, respectfully invited Wanxian to come in, and said, "Your Majesty, you are back."

Hearing this, Kangxi, who was leaning on the throne and reading a book, put down the book in his hand and said with sour words: "Oh, this busy man is back. You still know how to come back."

Wanxian quickly walked into the carriage, came to Kangxi's side, took Kangxi's hand, and said coquettishly: "Why don't you come back? I was just talking to the Queen Mother and the Crown Princess, and I forgot the time for a while."

"You." Kangxi stretched out his finger and tapped Wanxian's forehead, teasing helplessly.

Wanxian smiled at Kangxi and sat down beside Kangxi without ceremony.

Kangxi quickly moved his seat to Wanxian and asked, "Is there anyone to choose from Galudai?"

"Yes. Galudai selected the prince Yingcheng, Shumulu Fenfenge. There is also the third-class Duke Majia Malsai's younger brother, the Riding Commander Majia Malishan." Wanxian answered truthfully.

Kangxi nodded and said: "Well, both of them are good candidates. Among the two, who does Galudai prefer?"

Wanxian shook her head and said: "Galudai only mentioned these two candidates, but he didn't say which one he preferred. So I thought I'd wait until we get to Mulan Paddock to see the two people's horsemanship skills."

"Okay. It's still early, everything happens in a hurry." Kangxi said nonchalantly.

Wanxian sat obediently next to Kangxi, picked up the book on the table next to the throne, looked at it carefully, and said: "Moderate. What's so good about this?"

"Whether it looks good or not, that's my business. Why don't you ask the palace maid to come up and take care of you and change out of the court clothes at the end. You don't think the court crown and court clothes are heavy now." Kangxi took a handful from Wanxian's hand. He grabbed the book and reminded Wanxian again.

"Oh, that's right. My servant has forgotten it." Wanxian said and touched the concubine's imperial crown on her head.

Liang Jiugong quickly stepped out of the carriage and ordered Qiaoguo who was guarding the carriage: "Quickly, serve the queen to change her clothes."

Qiaoguo took the order, quickly and carefully got on the carriage, and followed Liang Jiugong carefully.

When Wanxian saw Qiaoguo behind Liang Jiugong, she quickly waved and said: "Qiaoguo, hurry up. Let me change my clothes." Wanxian got up and walked behind the throne.

Luan Jia, the Nine-Five Master, is naturally the best.Luanjia is divided into two rooms, inside and outside. The outer room can seat at most seven or eight people.You can discuss national affairs with your closest ministers.There is a bed for people to rest in the inner room, and there are two or three boxes on both sides of the bed.Next to the box, a dressing table was thoughtfully placed just for Wanxian.There is a small door between the outer room and the inner room.

In fact, in addition to Kangxi's chariot, the empress dowager also had the prince, the prince's concubine, and the master's chariot above the concubine in the harem.It's just that he is not as big as Kangxi's Luan Jia.

Qiaoguo quickly bowed to Kangxi and followed Wanxian into the inner room.

Qiaoguo first took out some elegant clothes from the cabinet next to the bed and placed them on the bed.Then she carefully served Wanxian and changed out of her court clothes.Then he carefully put the imperial crown, gold covenant, collar covenant, court beads, and court clothes into the box.

……

After two quarters of an hour, Qiaoguo exited the small door and closed it carefully.Kangxi, who was holding a book, saw this and asked, "Where is your empress?"

"Long live my Lord Qi, your Majesty said she is a little tired. So she wants to lie down for a while." Qiaoguo hurriedly replied.

Kangxi waved his hand and signaled Qiaoguo to go out.

After Liang Jiugong and Qiaoguo exited the carriage, Kangxi put down Zhongyong, stood up, opened the small door and walked into the inner room.

Just in time, Kangxi saw Wanxian sitting on the bed smiling at him.

Wanxian opened her eyes as soon as she heard the sound, and looked at Kangxi who walked in with a smile.

Kangxi quickly sat down by the bed and asked patiently: "What? Are you tired?"

Wanxian said nothing and nodded obediently.

Kangxi raised his hand and touched Wanxian's little face distressedly, and said: "Since you are tired, why don't you come back quickly? Why don't you chat with the Queen Mother and the others for so long?"

Wanxian quickly explained: "We are all in a hurry. I can't let everyone stop just for me."

"You." Kangxi nodded Wanxian's forehead and said with a smile.

Wanxian first moved to the side of the bed, then lifted the quilt and patted the empty bed.

Upon seeing this, Kangxi understood what Wanxian meant, took off his outer robe, and lay down next to Wanxian.

Wanxian happily clung to Kangxi's side.

Kangxi put his arms around Wanxian and advised: "Just lie down for a while. We will have lunch later. After lunch, let's sleep again." "Okay, I know this," Wanxian said. He still closed his eyes.Kangxi hugged Wanxian lovingly and closed his eyes to rest.

……

"Long live Lord Qi, long live Lord." After a while, Liang Jiugong carefully stood in front of the small door outside and shouted to the inside.Liang Jiugong was standing outside Luanjia, resting his feet.But when lunch time came, the butler who arranged the meals came with lunch himself.Liang Jiugong hurriedly got on the road and wanted to report to Kangxi for his meal.However, as soon as he entered Luanjia, he did not see Kangxi.Liang Jiugong knew that Long Live Lord must be taking a break inside, so he quickly stood in front of the small door to report.

Kangxi, who had closed his eyes to rest, immediately opened his eyes and shouted to the outside: "Okay, I understand. Let's prepare the meal first."

"Hey." Liang Jiugong agreed, then walked out of the carriage and gave instructions to the servants carrying the meals.

……

Immediately, Kangxi gently shouted to Wanxian in his arms: "Be good, be good. Wake up quickly, get up and eat."

Wanxian woke up in an instant, rubbed her eyes, and said coquettishly to Kangxi: "I know this. Long live my lord, can you give me a hug first?"

"What's wrong? Come here. Let me hug my little darling." Kangxi hugged Wanxian lovingly and coaxed.

When Wanxian woke up a little, she said to Kangxi: "I'm awake, my slave. Long live my lord, let's get up."

"Okay, get up." Kangxi immediately put down his hand, lifted the quilt and stood up.

Wanxian also followed Kangxi and got off the bed.

Kangxi got up and took some clothes from the bed and was about to put them on.

Wanxian quickly grabbed the clothes from Kangxi's hands and unfolded them directly.

Kangxi smiled at Wanxian and put on the robe with Wanxian's hands.

Wanxian walked to Kangxi again and tied the buckle for Kangxi carefully.

Kangxi smiled and looked at Wanxian in front of him, then reached out and hugged Wanxian's waist.

Wanxian first exclaimed, then glared at Kangxi.

Kangxi just smiled and said nothing.Wanxian quickly turned to Kangxi and said, "Long live my Lord, please let me go first. I haven't changed my clothes yet."

Listening to what Wanxian said, Kangxi let go of Wanxian's waist.

While Wanxian was wearing her outer robe, she whispered softly to Kangxi: "Long live Lord, please go out first. I still need to put on my makeup."

Kangxi sat on the edge of the bed and said to Wanxian, "It's okay, I'm fine. I'm here to stay with you."

Seeing Kangxi's insistence, Wanxian didn't say anything else.Just minding his own business, he sat in front of the dressing table, opened the mirror cover on the dressing table (the veil that covered the mirror in ancient times), and took a comb to comb his hair.

Kangxi smiled and stood up behind Wanxian.

Wanxian saw Kangxi in the mirror, turned around and smiled at Kangxi.

Kangxi took out a silver-plated and gem-embedded tourmaline hairpin from the drawer of the dressing table and tied it in Wanxian's hair. "I remember this hairpin is the first hairpin I gave you." After Kangxi fixed the hairpin for Wanxian, he bent down and said to Wanxian's ear.

Wanxian nodded and said excitedly: "Yes. This hairpin is the second gift you gave me, Long live the Lord. The first one is this three-color bracelet on my wrist." Wanxian said and stretched out her left hand. The three-color jade bracelet that has been on his hand and has never been taken off is revealed.

Kangxi hugged Wanxian and said lovingly: "It's hard for you to remember."

"How could I not remember this? These are all given to me by you, Master Long Live. This is your intention. I remember everything." Wan Xian raised her head and said truthfully to Kang Xi.

"I remember, I haven't said any love words to you today." Kangxi said, leaning against Wanxian's ear and kissing it.

Wanxian closed her eyes and demanded, "In that case, please hurry up and tell me."

"There is a beauty here, and you will never forget it when you see her. If you don't see her for a day, you will miss her like crazy." Kangxi leaned into Wanxian's ear and slowly said the poem in Chinese.Kangxi was afraid that Wanxian would not understand the meaning, so he translated the poem into Manchu and told it to Wanxian: "There is a handsome and beautiful woman. I will never forget her appearance when I see her. If I see her one day I miss her so much that I feel like I’m going crazy.”

Wanxian blushed with embarrassment and asked Kangxi curiously: "Where is this poem?"

"This is a poem written by Sima Xiangru, called "The Phoenix Seeks the Phoenix." When I have some free time, I will tell you about it." Kangxi coaxed to Wanxian.

Wanxian nodded obediently and said, "Okay."
