Concubine Wen Xi who traveled through time

Wen Xi ordered someone to leave a stone tablet beside the carp pond, with the words "No Trespassing in the Palace" written in big characters, and also asked the guards to guard here, and anyone who dared to step outside the boundary would be directly beaten to death.In this way, no one would dare to enter the palace without permission. If people from Cao's mansion wanted to enter the palace, they had to hand over a sign to the imperial concubine to request it. Naturally, Cao Yin's mother, Mrs. Sun, had special permission to enter and exit at will.

Without people who shouldn't be there, the scenery of the palace and imperial garden is much more pleasing to the eye.By the carp pond, there are beautiful flowers and trees, and the Taihu Lake stone is a rockery, with stacked towers, and the breeze along the lake surface, the fragrance of flowers enters the nostrils.Zhu'er looked sideways and said: "What kind of tree is this? The flowers are blooming elegantly. The fragrance of this flower smells elegant from a distance, but it smells rich and fragrant up close. This servant has never seen it before."

Wen Xi was holding a round ink fan in his hand, shaking it intermittently, said: "That's Michelle Flower."

"Smiling?" Zhu'er also had a smile on her lips, "The name is really good!" She sniffed again, and said with a chuckle: "Master, don't blame this servant for being uninterested, because the fragrance of flowers smells like bananas !"

When Zhu'er said this, Wen Xi sniffed it twice, not to mention, it really smelled like bananas!Michelle flowers bloom, often half-bloomed, seemingly unbloomed, like a beautiful woman smiling, still holding a pipa and half-hiding her face.It blooms in early summer, and the garden is full of fragrance and pleasant. People often say that "the leaves are full of love, and the flowers are smiling", but it is not a very beautiful flower. optimal.Thinking so, he ordered the maids in the palace to pluck the white branches of Michelia chinensis, if necessary, fold the unopened ones, and put them in his bedroom, which can be used as a substitute for incense.

"Greetings to the imperial concubine." An old voice sounded from one side.

Wen Xi looked back.It turned out to be Mrs. Sun, but the first time I saw her was in the 23rd year of Kangxi. At that time, she was still healthy and energetic, but now she has a full head of hair. Wenxi was quite dissatisfied with her at first, but now she looks like a She is getting old, as if she will be buried in the ground tomorrow, so I don't bother to care about her.He said lightly, "Mrs. Sun, please get up."

The maid who followed helped Mrs. Sun up, looking at the direction, it seemed that she was coming from Cao Guiren's Yuanxiang Pavilion, Wen Xi was only focused on admiring the beautiful scenery, so she didn't realize that she was approaching.

Mrs. Sun stood outside the pavilion, although the early summer sun was not harsh.But it was so bright that she couldn't open her eyes, she could only half-squint. This appearance made the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes very deep. She stared closely at Wen Xi, and said: "I haven't seen you for many years, the imperial concubine's face has not changed."

"Grandma Sun's hair is growing out." Wen Xi's tone was light.It's just that saying this is saying that she is so old.

Mrs. Sun's forehead was full of wrinkles, and it was hard to tell if she was frowning.She spoke very slowly, but still clearly, and her words were quite emotional: "Yes, this old slave is old." Calling her old slave seems to show off her qualifications, but she can't find any mistakes in her words. .

Wen Xi pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Nurse Sun is old. Naturally, she should stay away from right and wrong, and take care of her life."

Mrs. Sun bowed her head slightly.He said "yes", and then said: "Of course, this old slave wants to take care of his life, but he is in the middle of right and wrong, and right and wrong cannot stay away from right and wrong. Besides, this old slave is worried about his children and grandchildren, so he has to plan for them. "

Wen Xi's eyebrows twitched slightly, she gently shook the ink fan in her hand, and said: "I'm afraid that Nanny Sun will plan too much, and it will be a disservice to the children and grandchildren, that would be bad!"

With such a smile on her face, Mrs. Sun said respectfully: "Thank you for your guidance, the imperial concubine. I have lived for so many years, so I have my own sense of proportion."

"It's not enough to have a sense of propriety, there must be rules!" Wen Xi smiled with a special meaning, "If you lose your sense, you will not be able to get things done, but if you follow the rules, you may lose your life!"

Mrs. Sun bowed slightly, and said: "What the imperial concubine said is absolutely true! The rules must be followed..." She then changed the topic, "Thanks to the emperor's compassion, the old servant is not bound by the inscription in front of him, and he often comes and goes Visit the noble little master!"

Wen Xi couldn't help showing a cold look on her face, as expected, she was old and refined, and she couldn't make mistakes in every sentence, but she pointed to the vital point. After all, Kangxi granted her permission to visit Cao Guiren, even if Wen Xi erected an inscription, she couldn't be restrained!

"It's really difficult for Nanny Sun!" Wen Xi glanced at the two women who were dressed as maids who followed Mrs. Sun. They were both fourteen or fifteen years old, and their faces were vaguely familiar. Their eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, and they were extremely pretty. , No matter how you look at it, she is not a maid!It's more like a lady!A lot of age, so I can figure out how to put someone on Kangxi's bed, and I don't feel too tired to panic!

The corner of Wen Xi's mouth drew an arc, and said: "Nurse Sun is old, so going back and forth must be very hard, right?"

Grandma Sun couldn't figure out what the imperial concubine meant. She glanced at the two distant nieces who were supporting her, and said, "It's okay to have two maids supporting her." It's all right for a girl to help.

Wen Xi smiled brightly like a haze, and said briskly, "Even if you support me, it will be very hard for me to look at the nanny." Then she rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "How about this, I will give the nanny a shoulder Yu, it will be easier to travel between the Cao Mansion and the Xinggong in the future. Anyway, the Palace has brought a lot of rough eunuchs and eunuchs, so let's allocate some for Mammy to lift her shoulders! In this way, Mama's close-knit girls don't have to work hard to support them. "

Mrs. Sun was a little flustered when she heard the words, but immediately calmed down, and hurriedly said: "The old slave is a slave, how can he sit on the shoulder?!"

"Since I have said what I have said, I will not take it back!" Wen Xi's tone was gentle, but with an unquestionable meaning, "Don't worry, Mammy, the emperor treats Mammy well, and I think he will not object! If you would object, then, no one would dare to object, right? Grandma Sun, do you think so?"

Cold sweat suddenly broke out on Mrs. Sun's forehead, and she didn't know how to deal with it for a while. The rules are big, but not as big as the emperor!Mrs. Sun couldn't refute, so she said: "These two girls are serving the old slave, if you don't take it with you, the old slave must not be used to it!"

Wen Xi chuckled, "It's okay to bring two maids to serve you..."

Sun immediately showed a smile, and was about to thank you, when Wen Xi immediately changed the topic: "I'm afraid it's not the one who serves the mother, but the one who wants to serve the emperor!"

Sun quickly pulled out a smile.Said: "The imperial concubine is joking!"

Wen Xi had a smile that was as vague as smoke, and her tone of voice was still unquestionable: "I never joke with people! If Mammy is used to it, that's all. If the eunuch is dissatisfied with the lifting of the shoulders arranged by the palace, that would be bad!"

Sun immediately lowered her head, discouraged: "I dare not!"

Wen Xi pursed her lips and smiled, "Nurse Sun has always known the rules the most, so she must know the dignity and humility, and she will not disrespect the venerable, but I think I am worrying too much." Then he let out an ouch.Said: "I think it's because Nanny Sun is getting old, the weather in early summer is not hot, and Nanny Sun is sweating so much!" Then she turned around and said: "Xiao Luzi, send Nanny Sun back home for me. Let's go! By the way, pick a few eunuchs who behave themselves, and ask Lian Ye to build a shoulder pad for Nanny Sun."

"Hey!" Xiao Luzi gave a quick slap, and went up to help Sun Nanny by force.With a smile all over his face, he said, "Aunt Sun, this way please—"

Seeing Mrs. Sun being carried away by the little deer, Wen Xi twisted a flower and smiled, but there was no smile on her face, and rubbed the flower to pieces in the palm of her hand, leaving a hand full of flower juice.The aroma is so strong that it is unpleasant.

Zhu'er also smiled coldly. "Master, this should be called 'slave bullying the master'?! You are flattering her too much! Is she also worthy to use shoulders in the palace?!"

Wen Xi took a deep breath, and blew out the smiling flowers that had been crumpled badly, and then slowly wiped them off with the silk she carried with her, "The emperor values ​​the old love, and I can't take her away." What's the matter! It's just..." Wen Xi paused for a moment, "Cao Guiren wants to hang around under Bengong's hands. She is not afraid of offending Bengong, will Bengong take her anger on Cao Guiren? ? That's her own daughter!"

Zhu'er had a look of disgust on his face. "Master, I don't know. Nanny Sun often goes to see the emperor, and every time she comes, she brings homemade snacks and asks the 'maiden' beside her to give them to the emperor!" Zhu'er's disgust grew stronger, "Even I don't care about the safety of my own daughter, and I'm still shameless at such an age..." Zhu'er spat hard, and said in extreme disgust: "What!!"

Wen Xi also spit out three words from her mouth: "Old thing." Then she pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Tell the guards to watch over the guards. Nanny Sun can come and take it freely, and no one else will allow it!" Go down, Wen Xi doesn't believe that she can bring people in!

As soon as this method came out, Mrs. Sun really had no other plan. Although she was allowed to take the shoulder car, the Sun family did not come and go frequently.

The summer atmosphere is getting stronger, and there are noisy cicadas outside, so Wen Xi only goes to the imperial garden in the morning.In the past few days, the children have not bothered him. Little Pomegranate and Little Peach are taken by the fourth elder brother all day long. They go out early and return late, but they are busy. It is not prohibited, but it looks like letting it go.As for Wen Xi, it would be as difficult as ascending to heaven if she wanted to travel to the palace once, and Kangxi would definitely not allow it!

The days are quite boring, Mrs. Sun seldom visits Cao Guiren, Cao Yin's wife Li Shidao often comes to pay her respects to Wen Xi, and apologizes to Wen Xi for what her mother-in-law did. This Mrs. Li sees things more clearly than Mrs. Sun. He thinks he is getting old and his head is showing off. Since Wen Xi suppressed Mrs. Sun, she has no intention of holding on to this point, so she doesn't mention it anymore.

Seeing Wen Xi's kind temper, Mrs. Li gradually let go, not as stiff as the previous few times when she greeted her.Mrs. Li is very good at talking, and it is easy to mention the local customs, which can also make boring days a little more interesting.Whenever Li mentioned his son Cao Yong, he felt proud of being a mother, and he often praised him quietly.Wen Xi also agreed, Cao Yong is really good, I heard that Kangxi once mentioned that his riding and archery is quite good, otherwise Kangxi would not have allowed this trip to return to Beijing and appointed him as Lan Ling's bodyguard.

Mrs. Li is not a nagging person, so after talking for a while, he left.Wen Xi knew that every time she handed over a sign to say hello, she would stop by to say hello to Cao Guiren when she left Youfeng Laiyi Hall, and would sit down for a while before returning home.
