Li Dequan bowed and smiled: "This is indeed a happy event, not to mention Qingchuan, even the minions want to take the opportunity to ask the emperor for more rewards!"
Kangxi laughed loudly, and rewarded Li Dequan and Qingchuan with ten silvers.
Qingchuan thanked him and served tea to Kangxi. Seeing Kangxi had picked up the memorial on the desk of the book, she knew that when he was reviewing the memorial, she didn't dare to laugh anymore, and hurriedly retired. Arrived at the corridor, but saw Wanyue of Chuxiu Palace probe his head at the gate of the palace, Qingchuan was a little surprised, confessing a few words to the maid beside him, and then quietly came outside.
When Wanyue saw Qingchuan coming out, she hurriedly pulled her aside, and said in a low voice, "Qingchuan, Xibi wants to see you."
Qingchuan was taken aback. Although she had served by Xibing's side, too many things happened later. Xibing also disliked her that she was exhausted, and the relationship between the two was not close. At this time, Hou Xi's concubine is being spoiled, what else do you want her to do
Wanyue saw Qingchuan not speaking, and quickly said: "The wife of Xiyi also took you not to be thin, you see in the past love, you should also go to see the wife of Xiyi, she is waiting for you in the imperial garden, hurry up Go ahead."
Qingchuan thought for a while and said, "I'm on duty right now. You can let me go in first to explain it, and then I will follow you to see Empress Xixi."
Wanyue nodded. Qingchuan turned around and went back inside, only to tell Li Dequan that he was going to the House of Internal Affairs to fetch something, then he came out again and went to the Imperial Garden with Wanyue.
The Jubilee was walking in the garden with the help of the palace lady, and when he saw Qingchuan coming, he deported the palace lady next to him. Seeing this, Qingchuan hurriedly stepped forward to hold her arm, Shibun smiled satisfied, and while walking slowly, Qingchuan asked Qingchuan seemingly unintentionally: "The other day the palace treated you like that, you Don't blame this palace?"
Qingchuan heard this and said hurriedly and respectfully: "The servants dare not."
The Jubilee sighed softly, and whispered: "To survive in the palace, you must follow the general trend. There is no way in this palace. Now this palace would like to ask you for a favor. I wonder if you want to?"
Qingchuan secretly said that he really didn't guess wrong, Xibing, this person would only be so amiable when he used people. Qingchuan slandered, but said in a very respectful manner: "Please say my mother."
Jubilee took out a concentric knot made of red silk thread from his arms and handed it to Qingchuan. He smiled and said: "This is the person from the family of the palace who asked for it from Xiangshan. If you wear it on a man, you can Always be of one mind, you are working as an errand in the Qing Palace, and set a method to help me put me beside the emperor.
There are countless things that Kangxi wears. If you add anything randomly without his consent, Kangxi knows that he will be blamed, and Qingchuan feels hesitant: "This..."
Jubilee only thought that she was going to dodge, he smiled, and said: "Now you have returned to the emperor as a errand, and this palace is pregnant with a dragon heir. If you and I work together to help the eighth prince speak, I believe it will be more effective. of."
How could Qingchuan not understand her suggestion, and put the concentric knot in her sleeve when she heard the words, and promised: "You can rest assured that the maidservant will do what the mistress said."
Jubilee smiled, "I've been in the palace for a while, and I'm tired. If you want to go back to the palace for a rest, you can go to the emperor and wait on him."
As he said, he stretched out his hand and beckoned Wanyue and the others to come over, waited on her back to Chuxiu Palace, Qingchuan stood there respectfully, until she walked away, and then pulled out the concentric knot from the sleeve again, in her heart. Just feel embarrassed. If it is too difficult to hang on Kangxi, with so many eyes, suddenly there will be something like this that will naturally be discovered by others, even Kangxi himself will be aware of it, and I am afraid that I have to ask where it came from.
Qingchuan couldn't help but mutter to himself: "Where should I put this thing? I don't know if it doesn't work if it is hidden under the pillow."
She hid the concentric knot again, thinking about it while heading to the Qianqing Palace. She had just left, and after the rockery next to it, one person walked out slowly. It was the thirteenth eldest brother who had just returned to the palace for a few days. He just went to Yonghe Palace to invite Concubine Dean back. When passing by the Imperial Garden, he saw Qingchuan and Xibing together from a distance. He did not move quietly. He quietly walked around behind the rockery, just in time for Qingqing. The conversation between Chuan and Shibun was heard righteously.
The thirteenth elder brother smiled thoughtfully, and saw Qingchuan walking away, so he hung behind her and went to Qianqing Palace. Kangxi was not in the palace, and Qingchuan went straight into the back of the bedroom. As soon as he entered the door, he deliberately sniffed the smell in the air and said: "There is a big smell in the room, quickly get the fruit to smoke. The emperor is about to go down. You have to prepare casual clothes. Also, the tea seems to be cold. Let's change a pot."
The few little palace ladies in the room went out to make preparations. Qingchuan looked at no one on the left and right, and hurriedly took the concentric knot out of his sleeves and secretly pressed it under the pillow. As soon as the pillows were re-arranged, I heard someone chuckling at the door and asking: "What are you doing?"
Qingchuan was shocked, turned around and looked over, and saw Elder Shisan leaning lightly at the door, looking at her with interest. Qingchuan became more calm on the surface, bowed, and replied, "If you go back to the thirteenth brother, the slave and maid are making the bed for the emperor.
The thirteenth elder brother smiled, walked in and sat down on the edge of the bed, looked up at Qingchuan and said: "I suddenly feel a little hungry. Go find some snacks for me to eat."
Although Qingchuan is not familiar with him, he knows that he is closely following Brother Si, so he is very wary of him. Seeing that he intends to prop himself out, he dared not go out, so he turned around and walked to the table and put it there. He brought a plate of dim sum, and handed it to him: "Brother Thirteen, this is the emperor’s bedroom. No one else can come. You eat the cakes and go quickly, lest the emperor blames it and the servants can’t bear it."
The thirteenth elder brother was taken aback for a while, and smiled: "That's right, there are rules in the palace, how can I break the rules in the palace? I still go first, we will have a period later."
After speaking, he got up from the bed, got up and went out.
Qingchuan saw that his words and deeds were a little weird, and he was vigilant, and hurriedly walked to the bed to look at the concentric knot, only to find that the pillow was empty, and the concentric knot had long disappeared. Qingchuan suddenly understood that it must be the thirteenth elder brother who took advantage of her turning around and took the concentric knot, but he could not guess why he did this. Does he know that the concentric knot was given to him by Xibi?
Qingchuan was puzzled here, but the thirteenth brother got back to his residence with that same heart, asked someone to prepare some gifts, and went to Chuxiu Palace in person.
Because of avoiding suspicion, adult elder brothers and young concubines rarely communicate. Even if they have a secret connection, they always send eunuchs and palace ladies to spread the word among them. This is also why Ximen used Qingchuan to win over eight princes. For the sake of. But today, the 13th elder brother actually came to visit with a gift in person, and the Xi 嫔 was a little surprised in his heart, and called the 13th elder brother in and said: "Thirteenth elder brother is so polite, there is nothing in the palace. , I have to take these far away to my palace. This palace really takes care of you."
The thirteenth elder brother greeted the Jubilee, and complimented: "The empress is loved by Huang Ama now, and she is pregnant with dragons and grandchildren. She is the first person in this harem, even if it is a wild crane like me, she knows this. Where should the wind blow, and where should the rudder go."
The Jubilee was so good at hearing that he couldn't help with a smug look on his face. He smiled and said: "Elder Brother Thirteen is really good at talking and laughing. There are too many concubines in the emperor, and there are countless children. What about a glance?"
The thirteenth elder brother glanced at the Jubilee, and deliberately joked: "I want to say that a Bodhisattva gave me a dream yesterday and asked me to honor my mother. Believe it or not?"
"The more you talk, the more mysterious it gets."
"It's not Xuan, it's true. I just dreamed of a Bodhisattva yesterday, and now I passed by the Imperial Garden and saw a palace lady throwing this out. Did you say it was a coincidence?"
As the thirteenth elder brother said, he took out the concentric knot from his arms and handed it to Xi'an. The Xibi was a little stunned at first sight. This was clearly something she gave to Qingchuan. Why did it get into his hands? Xibi couldn't help but look at Elder Brother Thirteen. He was looking at him with a smile instead of a smile. Her heart couldn't help but secretly said that she had the intention to protect Elder Brother Ba with Qingchuan, but the person in front of him had always made friends with Brother Four. , I'm afraid that this act is deliberately trying to separate her and Qingchuan.
Jubilee looked at the concentric knot, smiled lightly, and said, "Oh, isn't this the concentric knot that our palace asked Qingchuan to transfer to the emperor? How can this child be so confused? Forget it, it's so important. Something was lost, and I will definitely not be able to spare her when I look back."
The thirteenth elder brother asked lightly: "Isn't the empress blame her?"
If the Jubilee replied pointedly: "She went out from this palace, and the temperament and personality of this palace are too understanding, even if there are people with ulterior motives to provoke right and wrong, this palace will not believe it. Thirteenth brother’s kindness My palace has taken my heart, but there are so many people who have given gifts to Chuxiu Palace these days. You see, my house is small, and I really can’t put it down. Look, are you better to honor other women? Month, see off!"
The thirteenth eldest brother smiled and took those few gifts and went out.
Xibi snorted coldly, took a look at the concentric knot on the table, and handed it to Wanyue, and said, "Send it to Qingchuan and tell her a word. Be careful when you do things. Gong understands her, even if she has a thousand mouths, she can't tell."
Wanyue replied, took the concentric knot and sent it to Qingchuan, and relayed what Xibi had said to Qingchuan. Qingchuan was shocked in a cold sweat when she heard it, and secretly said that this thirteen elder brother was so cunning that he had stolen this concentric knot and separated her and Xibi. Fortunately, Xixi did not believe it, otherwise she must be hated!
Qingchuan thought for a while, and said in a low voice to Wanyue: "Please tell the lady Xiu, that Qingchuan has always remembered that she was kind to me when she was in Chuxiu Palace. Without her, there would be no Qingchuan today. So please rest assured, as long as it is something that your mother confesses, Qingchuan will do it with your heart, and please don't be provoked by an adulterer."
Wan Yue nodded and returned to Chu Xiu Palace. Qingchuan thought about it for a while, always feeling uneasy in her heart, stole a moment and went to Ba Ge.
Eighth elder brother was discussing matters with nine elder brothers and others. Hearing that Qingchuan came to him, he found an excuse to sneak out of the room, walked to the corridor and looked at Qingchuan with a smile, and deliberately asked her: "What? But miss me?"
