Queen Xiaoxi

"It's all your fault, Long Live Lord." Wanxian lay on the bed and complained to Kangxi beside her.

Kangxi quickly hugged Wanxian and humbly asked: "How did I make you angry? Tell me, I will change."

"I originally wanted to take a bath in the hot springs and take a good look at the Golden Dragon Pond. Now that I have been disturbed by you, Long Live Lord, I can't take a serious look at anything." Wanxian complained in disappointment.

Kangxi quickly pulled Wanxian into his arms and said dotingly: "What do I think it's about? It turns out it's because of this. Aren't I by your side? I'll tell you everything. Besides, if you like it here, we can come and stay for a few days after Mulan Qiu Ni is over. If you still like it, I will bring you back in winter and next spring."

"Really?" Wanxian raised her head and asked Kangxi.

Kangxi pulled Wanxian over, placed Wanxian on his body, kissed Wanxian's forehead lovingly, and assured: "Of course it is true."

"Long live Lord, you are so kind." Wanxian, wearing only a bellyband, lay in Kangxi's arms.The dots of green and red on the shoulders represent Kangxi's love for him.

"Look, I'm so happy now." Kangxi touched Wanxian's smooth back and said speechlessly.

Wanxian didn't care about this at the moment. She touched Kangxi's chest and asked: "Long live Lord, tell me quickly what's so special about the Golden Dragon Soup. I heard that your soup pool is called Golden Dragon Soup, the Empress Dowager's." The soup pool is called Bifeng Tang, and the soup pool used by the concubines is called Qingluan Tang."

"Yes, the soup pool I use is called Golden Dragon Soup. There are nine water inlets. The water inlet is a statue of a white jade dragon head. The bottom of the pool is carved with a dragon swimming around the world." Kangxi explained to Wanxian.

When Wanxian heard this, she curled her lips and said unhappily: "It turns out there are so many doorways, but it's a pity that I didn't see any of them."

"Okay, take a closer look next time. It's not like I won't come next time. I'll tell you about Bifeng Soup." Kangxi patted Wanxian's little head and coaxed skillfully.

Wanxian looked at Kangxi seriously again.Kangxi continued: "The soup pool used by the Empress Dowager and the Empress is called Bifeng Tang. The water inlet of Bifeng Tang is a jade phoenix-headed statue, there are also nine, and there are roses carved on the bottom of the pool."

"What about the prince's?" Wanxian asked curiously.

Kangxi touched Wanxian's little face and said: "The prince's soup is called White Tiger Soup. It has seven water inlets. The water inlets are the heads of white tigers, and the bottom of the pool is for white tigers to parade. As for the others, they are just a few ordinary ones. The soup pool is for the use of princes, ministers and the wives of Fujin who follow them, and it has not been named."

"What about the Crown Princess? Could it be that she also uses the ordinary soup pool with the other married ladies of Fujin?" Wanxian stared, very curious.

Kangxi couldn't help but hold his forehead and sighed in his heart: "What is this little girl thinking in her head? One question after another." Although Kangxi thought so in his heart, he still answered Wanxian's questions in a friendly manner: "The Crown Princess will naturally follow the concubines to use Qingluan Soup."

"Oh, so that's it." Wanxian nodded, indicating that she understood.

Kangxi pressed Wanxian's raised little head on his chest and said: "This Tangquan Palace is in a remote corner. The mountains to the west and north block the cold wind outside the Great Wall, making the palace warm in winter and cool in summer, making it suitable for all seasons. The Yudai River to the east has abundant water and a lot of fish and shrimps, which are the most delicious. The plate of braised prawns for dinner today was fished from the Yudai River, so you used a lot of them."

"Yes, I think it tastes delicious." Wanxian said in agreement.

Kangxi pinched Wanxian's little face and said teasingly: "You smell so good. Is it because you have applied the Ice Skin Jade Skin Cream?"

"Long live Lord, I know how to tease my slave. I apply the Ice Skin Jade Skin Balm every day. How come you smell it today, Long live Lord?" Wan Xian said sarcastically to Kangxi.

Kangxi said shamelessly: "How can the past be compared with today? Didn't I wipe it for you today?"

"Hate it, long live my Lord, do you still want to talk about this Tangquan Palace? If you don't, I will fall asleep." Wanxian said and closed her eyes.

Kangxi quickly coaxed: "Look, I just joked with you a few times, and you were unhappy. It's all because I spoiled you rotten." Kangxi said and kissed Wanxian's little face.

Wanxian opened her eyes and argued to Kangxi: "Obviously it was you, Long Live Lord, who spoke nonsense first, and now you say that I have been spoiled by you. Since I am self-aware, I can just leave." That’s all.Wanxian took the initiative to push away the hand around her waist and wanted to get up and leave.

Kangxi hurriedly hugged Wanxian tightly and begged for mercy: "It's my fault, I was wrong. My dear concubine, you don't remember the faults of villains, so just spare me for once. My dear, my dear My heart, my treasure."

"Huh." Wanxian didn't say anything, just snorted.

Kangxi breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly: "The terrain of Tangquan Palace is high in the northwest and low in the southeast. The palace we live in now is on the high ground in the northwest, and the southeast is where the drainage is. The surrounding trees are lush, and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant. The entire palace is The courtyards are scattered at different heights, suitable for movement and quiet. The upper courtyard is for accommodation, and the lower courtyard is for bathing; the smell of incense in the front, and the smell of books in the back." Wanxian, who was hiding in Kangxi's arms, did not speak, but listened quietly.

Kangxi thought Wanxian was asleep, so he quietly touched Wanxian's little hand.I found that Wanxian's little hands were still making small movements.Then he continued: "Especially in March, the fragrance of apricot blossoms is wafting inside and outside the courtyard. After bathing in the bathroom, sit under the shade of a tree, sip a cup of fragrant tea, listen to the chirping of birds, and let the breeze blow on your face. It’s really a fairy-like enjoyment. In autumn and winter, the morning frost stains the mountains, the distant mountains and the close views, and the red leaves hanging on the branches are particularly interesting. I even wrote a poem specially for this."

"What poem?" Wanxian opened her eyes and asked Kangxi.

Kangxi looked at Wanxian and read slowly: "The morning frost covered the ground and the water in the pool was clear, and the air trickled down happily. I sat on the floating cup for a few days, and the emperor and his ministers discussed the scenery about their lives."

Wanxian nodded slightly but did not speak.

Kangxi kissed Wanxian's forehead lovingly, recalled a past event a few years ago, and said: "I remember that in the 42nd year of Kangxi's reign, I returned to Beijing from the Rehe Summer Resort. On the way back to Beijing, I took Wang Hao and others went to Tangquan together. At that time, the water in the Yudai River was very strong, so I came back by boat."

"That's great. I've only ever taken a boat on the lake in the palace and Changchun Garden. I've never been on a boat before." Wanxian said enviously.

"It's true that we can't compare with before. But if you think about it, there won't be no chance in the future." Kangxi reassured.

"Okay. I also asked Concubine An to tell you that long live your visit to the south. It's a pity that I didn't catch up once." Wanxian said regretfully.

Kangxi quickly kissed Wanxian's little face and coaxed: "There will be opportunities in the future. When there is an opportunity in the future, I will take you there. I will take you to see the Hanshan Temple in Suzhou, and then take you to the West Lake in Hangzhou. visit."

"Okay, Long Live Lord, please promise me this." Wanxian became interested and asked Kangxi with her finger.

Kangxi quickly hooked Wanxian's little finger and promised: "I agreed. Hey, talking about the West Lake in Hangzhou, there is a scene in the Summer Resort in Rehe that is modeled after the Su Causeway of the West Lake. It was just completed this year. When the Summer Resort arrives , I’ll take you to have a look.”

Kangxi suddenly remembered and told Wanxian.Wanxian quickly asked: "Where is it? Long live my Lord, I want to go shopping."

"I remember that I named it 'Zhijingyundi', which happens to be north of Wanhe Songfeng where I handle government affairs and hold court meetings." Seeing Wanxian's curiosity, Kangxi hurriedly said to Wanxian: "My Lord When he saw it for the first time, he ordered people to build it according to the West Lake's Su Di. So the slaves below specially put the drawings in. As the saying goes, the water is a dike, winding and zigzag, shaped like the word "Zhi". This dike connects three islands: Huanbi, Moonlight Jiangsheng and Ruyizhou. The embankment runs through the lake, so I specially named it 'Zhijingyun Embankment.'"

"Has everything been built now?" Wanxian asked hurriedly.

Kangxi quickly replied: "It has been built. I heard from people who came to start the performance that since the beginning of summer, walking on the long embankment, my eyes are full of green, surrounded by layers of scenic spots, moving every step, with various forms, green willows It has the charm of the 'Spring Dawn on the Su Causeway' in the West Lake."

"Long live Lord, when can we get to the summer resort? I can't wait." Wanxian asked excitedly.

Kangxi looked at the excited Wanxian and coaxed her quickly: "Then go to bed quickly. When you wake up, we will set off to the summer resort immediately."

"Okay, then this slave will close his eyes and go to sleep." Wanxian said and closed her eyes obediently.Kangxi saw this and untied Wanxian's bellyband.

Wanxian quickly opened her eyes and said, "Long live Lord, what are you doing?"

"Obey, the weather is getting hot now. Sleeping naked is good for your health. Look, I just sleep naked." Kangxi said to Wanxian in a persuasive way.

Wanxian shook her head and said, "But I think it's okay to sleep in a bellyband."

"Obey, are you the most obedient to me?" Kangxi then brainwashed Wanxian.

Wanxian nodded, then shook her head.

Kangxi didn't care about that and directly untied the tie around Wanxian's neck and threw Wanxian's bellyband out of the bed.

Wanxian said in a panic: "Long live my Lord, throw my servant's bellyband out. If the people below see you tomorrow, how can I have the face to see others?"

"It's okay, who dares to laugh at you. Okay, it's time to go to bed." Kangxi hugged Wanxian and patted Wanxian's back and said. (End of chapter)
