Kangxi Harem Ⅰ: Green Years

Chapter 56 (31) The first bath in the hot spring Longyu Tangchi

[Rong'er tasted the hot spring bath for the first time, and felt comfortable and happy;]

[Dragon entering the Tangchi is a metaphor for self-cultivation, eager to enjoy the mourning of the country. 】

Early the next morning, Rong'er went to help the Empress Dowager to wake up. During this journey, Rong'er, as a concubine in the harem, had always accompanied the Empress Dowager wholeheartedly, so it became a habit.Seeing Rong'er coming, the Empress Dowager said with a smile: "Rong'er, you can accompany Ai's family to have a bath today, don't worry about the emperor, the emperor has his political affairs to deal with.

"Yes." Rong'er turned around and replied.

Rong'er accompanied the Empress Dowager after breakfast, and then went downstairs with Rong'er, was Rong'er still thinking about going to that open-air big pool for bathing?So many people were watching how to take a bath, but they didn't expect to find it in a small hall downstairs, which turned out to be an indoor hot spring, and they were quite surprised.Rong'er asked in surprise: "Old Ancestor, is this palace built on a hot spring?"

The Empress Dowager said with a smile: "Haha, Ronger, the Ai family was also quite surprised when they first saw it, and they had to feel that the people in this world are skilled craftsmen. They brought the hot springs outside the palace into this palace with canals, so we You can soak in the hot water in this house without the wind and sun, heh, the palace of Tangquan in Chicheng is also built like this."

Rong'er smiled embarrassedly and said, "Rong'er is really lonely."

"Haha, it's okay, Rong'er, you and Ai's family will have a bath here, we will soak until lunch, and after the bath, you will feel comfortable all over your body." The Empress Dowager said with a big laugh.

Rong'er and the Empress Dowager spent the morning soaking in soup, and they also chatted with each other. The Empress Dowager would tell her about the emperor's childhood, and she would also tell the Empress Dowager interesting stories about her own childhood, leaving the Empress Dowager behind. Rong'er felt that the empress dowager was as kind and kind as an ordinary grandmother. Perhaps, in the harem, the empress dowager was like a queen, respecting her identity and establishing her majesty when she came to this mountain forest. Now, Rong'er knows why the Empress Dowager seldom takes the harem women with her when she goes out of the palace. This should be a rare time for her to take off her mask, and can see This real empress dowager, besides the empress dowager's attendant Su Ma Lagu, is the emperor, and now Rong'er is given this honor, Rong'er really likes this respectable person in front of him Senior citizens.

Rong'er and the Empress Dowager went back to the room after soaking in the hot spring, changed their clothes and tidied up, and then went to the room of the Empress Dowager to pick up the Empress Dowager and went to the small hall to have lunch together. When they arrived at the small hall, they found that the emperor was already there.

The Empress Dowager sat down and asked with a smile, "Grandson, are you all busy with political affairs?"

Xuan Ye said with a smile: "Well, from yesterday to today, the emperor's grandson has finally finished reviewing the instructions day and night, and sent someone back to the palace."

"Ah? The emperor gave instructions day and night? Did you ever take a rest?" Rong Er asked in surprise. Did the emperor never rest since arriving at Tangquan yesterday? No wonder he looked haggard and not very energetic.

"I also slept for an hour or two." Xuan Ye said with a smile.

"Your Majesty is diligent in government, and you must also cherish your body." Rong'er couldn't help but said with distress.

"Well, what Rong'er said is right, grandson's body is as important as the government." The Empress Dowager echoed.

"Oh, my grandson knows, thank you for worrying about Grandmother and Rong'er." Xuan Ye replied with a smile, and then continued: "Grandson heard that Grandmother had a relationship with Rong'er in the morning?"

"Well, yes, this is Rong'er's first time in trouble, ha ha." The Empress Dowager said with a smile.

"How does Rong'er feel?" Xuan Ye looked at Rong'er and asked with a smile.

"It's really comfortable to go back to the emperor, as the emperor said, I feel comfortable all over my body." Rong'er replied with a smile.

"Haha, right, I didn't lie to you, did I!" Xuan Ye said with a smile, and then looked at the Empress Dowager: "The imperial grandmother's grandson is going to Jizhou to visit the officers and soldiers there."

"Go...go...you can go if you have something to do, as long as Rong'er is here to accompany Ai's family." The Empress Dowager said.

"Then, Rong'er, I will leave the imperial grandmother to you. You must take good care of and be filial to the imperial grandmother for me." Xuan Ye looked at Rong'er and said with a smile.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, Rong'er will do his best." Rong'er really didn't expect that the Emperor would still have so many things to do when he arrived at the palace.

After lunch, the Empress Dowager had to take a lunch break, and in the afternoon Rong Er accompanied the Empress Dowager to the nearby Fuquan Temple to chant sutras.The Empress Dowager respects the Buddha, so coming to Zunhua can not only soak in soup, but also practice Buddhism in the temple. In fact, the Empress Dowager has not come for a long time. Before that, the Emperor was young and the court was unstable, and the Empress Dowager did not leave the palace easily. Now Now that the emperor has grown up and the court has been stabilized, the empress dowager has peace of mind, and can come to worship temples and Buddhas again.
