Qing Palace: Biography of Concubine Shu

Chapter 53 Meeting the Empress Dowager for the First Time
As the sun rose, everyone in the camp heaved a sigh of relief. It was dawn, and the wolves slowly dispersed. The guards felt that they had saved their lives.

Inside the tent, Shu Yun was still asleep, not knowing that the people outside were starting to move, preparing to return to the camp.

The highest decision makers in Manchuria and Mongolia are all here, if someone makes a bad move, everyone will be wiped out.

Kangxi thought twice and decided to return to the camp temporarily.

After the order was issued, Yinzhen went back to the tent directly and asked Shu Yun if he got up, Su Lanhe and Su Zhu shook their heads.

"Little boy." Yinzhen lifted the curtain of the bed, the little girl's cheeks were flushed from sleep, and she couldn't bear to wake her up, "We're going back."

The hunting was interrupted, and Kangxi was very annoyed, ready to go back and investigate thoroughly.

Well……

Shu Yun heard his subwoofer, and slowly opened his eyes, half asleep, still a little dazed, and his actions would be half a beat slower.He crossed his arms and watched her cute little moves.

A quarter of an hour later, Shu Yun woke up completely, and sat on the bed in obscene clothes. She saw that he had changed into the ordinary clothes he had gone out with.

"We're going back right away. Let's freshen up and have dinner in the car." Yinzhen looked at the time, Shu Yun wasted too much time lying in bed, there was no time for breakfast.

Ah!
Shu Yun jumped off the bed in an instant, and his bare feet were on the soft carpet. He gave her a sideways glance.She immediately looked at him obsequiously, wearing layered soles on her feet.

"Master, I'll wash up quickly, you can go outside and have some snacks first." Shu Yun flattered her.

Yinzhen shook his head and left the inner bedroom.

Su Lan came in from the outside with her servants, and quickly helped Shu Yun to wash and dress up.

"Master, it is said that many slaves were killed or injured in the night attack by the wolves." Su Lan felt a little sad, there were a few slaves who had a good relationship with her outside, but none of them survived.

"Shut up, can this be discussed?" Shu Yun glanced at her. If this girl couldn't control her mouth, she would be powerless to stop Fourth Master if she wanted to deal with it.

"Yes, the slave is awake." Su Lan's heart tightened, Shu Yun rarely punished the slaves, they were overwhelmed with gratitude.

Su Zhu pursed her mouth tightly and didn't say a word. The two men's temperaments complemented each other, and they restrained each other. Yinzhen was very relieved that they would stay by Shu Yun's side.

After tidying up, Shu Yun got into the carriage, and she saw her breakfast on the table of the carriage, steamed buns with milk flavor, several dishes of side dishes, and two bowls of purple rice porridge.

"Master, you can use some too." Yinzhen should wait for her to use it together, she secretly complained, he is very considerate, at least, he didn't embarrass her to eat alone.

"Use less, it will be here in two hours." Yinzhen glanced in her direction, her little look of anticipation made him feel amused.

After breakfast, Shu Yun leaned against the window, ready to see the scenery outside the carriage. Holding the sour plum soup in her hand, she looked out and found that there were imperial guards in yellow jackets on both sides of the carriage. difference.

She opened her small mouth slightly, staring at this change.

Emperors are afraid of death, and their lives are endangered. None of these emperors will relax. ,

"Come here and copy the scriptures." Shu Yun was stunned by the window, and Yin Zhen called her in directly.

For the time being, she should not be delicate near the window, and there is no need to be in a hurry to see the scenery.

"Yes!" Shu Yun replied obediently.

She took out the Buddhist scriptures from the low cabinet on the left, handled them in the copper basin at the corner of the carriage, sat down cross-legged, and began to pick up a brush to copy the scriptures, which had not been completed for two or three days, and Shu Yun tried her best to make up for her homework.

The two were silent all the way. When they arrived at the camp, Aunt Su Ma was waiting at the door, and the Queen Mother anxiously waited for the news of the emperor's safe return.

In the early morning, the story of meeting wolves while hunting spread to the camp. When the queen mother learned about it, she told Aunt Su Ma to let them all come after the emperor and his party arrived.

"Master, do you have any taboos about my clothes?" Shu Yun put down the pen in his hand, stood up and took two steps back, turned around on the carriage, and let Yinzhen see if the Queen Mother is qualified.

Yinzhen took a closer look, and there was nothing that needed to be changed about the regular clothes Shu Yun was wearing.

"Well, not bad!" She likes the cloisonné head, which is embellished with trivial jade and precious stones, and surrounded by emerald greens, which can be used by concubines.

Shu Yun pinched the ivory-white silk handkerchief in his hand, and followed Yinzhen to the empress dowager's tent.

The empress dowager's tent is only two circles smaller than Kangxi's, and it is also bright yellow. Outside the tent, there is a circle of inner guards, and outside the imperial guards. The night attack last night disturbed the empress dowager. Kangxi issued an order early in the morning to strengthen the camp. patrolling.

Aunt Su Ma is dressed in dark brown, with colorful silk threads showing a butterfly pattern, and two colorful butterflies are flying around the rose.

Shu Yun stood neatly behind Yinzhen, recalling in his heart the rules taught by the grandma again.

"Princes, please come in." Aunt Su Ma stood at the door, and two [-]-year-old nuns lifted the curtains of the tent from the left and right sides to let the princes in.

Everyone saluted the Queen Mother, Shu Yun knelt behind, sniffing the rich Tibetan fragrance in the tent with his small nose.

Ice cubes were placed around the big tent to prevent the air-conditioning from escaping. The big tent seldom opened the windows, so the strong Tibetan fragrance would not come out. She liked this smell very much, but the surrounding Gege of the same level did not. Such a good life, she noticed out of the corner of her eye that Gege on the left was about to collapse, with tears in her eyes, as if she had been choked by the Tibetan incense.

While bowing their heads, several female relatives wiped away their tears with their handkerchiefs, and when they looked up again, all of them had smiles on their faces.

The speed of face-changing is comparable to the face-changing trick of Sichuan Opera.

"Let's knock." The empress dowager's kind voice came down from above, and everyone got up and took their seats.

Shu Yun lowered his small head to study the auspicious cloud embroidery method on Yinzhen's ordinary clothes. Sure enough, Su Gongxiu Niang from the Shangyi Bureau was really good at embroidery.

"Emperor Niang, I made you worry." Kangxi respected the Queen Mother very much. During this tour, the Queen Mother followed her all the time. When hunting, the Queen Mother directly refused to go because she was out of strength.

"Are the prince and elder brothers all right?" The queen mother looked at the grandchildren below lovingly, as if it was a family reunion in the tent.

"Grandchildren are all well!" The princes replied respectfully.

Kangxi saw that the princes respected the queen mother very much, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Emperor Niang, is there anything wrong in the camp?" Kangxi looked at the Queen Mother, hoping to make sure that the Queen Mother was not in danger.

"Very well, I was worried when I heard that you were attacked early in the morning. The emperor must comfort those casualties." The queen mother was a vegetarian and recited Buddhism, so she couldn't bear the casualties.

"Yes, I must handle it well." This is what Kangxi wanted. The empress dowager's kindness was for the eyes of the Mongolian tribes, and even more so for the soldiers of the Eight Banners.

Listening to the faint words of concern, Shu Yun stared at Su Xiu in a daze.
