Inside the antique wooden study room, there was a desk, bookshelf, and other things that had been used for many years. One could only smell the faint fragrance of wood. A folding screen separated the large study room from the front and back. A man in a stone green dragon-patterned casual dress sat behind a desk near the window. Beside him was a beautiful woman dressed in simple clothes, fanning herself and serving tea.
Tang Xin hid behind the screen, revealing only a pair of bright almond-shaped eyes. She was secretly laughing as she watched. Tang Xin thought that she had hidden it well, but Kang Xi and Xianying, who were outside the study, had already known that the little guy was peeping. They saw that Xianying's slightly red cheeks were tightly clenched as she fanned herself, and she was using more and more strength. Fortunately, the memorials on the table were not made of thin paper. With Xianying's current strength, she could not use the fan to flip them over.
Although the memorials would not be lifted by the breeze raised by the round fan and could not be read, Kang Xi was not a person who did not care about women. Little Candy's sneaky laughter behind the screen made the beloved concubine serving beside him more and more unable to hide her gritted teeth. Hearing this, Kang Xi felt a chill down his spine. These memorials were not very important. It was just that Kang Xi had a habit for many years. He would not leave the memorials until tomorrow if he finished today's matters.
He shook his head with a smile and put down the ink pen in his hand. He turned his head to look at Little Candy Heart, who had hurriedly retracted her head behind the screen. There was no need to turn back to look at the expression on her face. Kang Xi knew that it would not look good just by looking at the wind behind her that did not decrease at all. He smiled faintly and did not retract his eyes from the screen. After a while, Little Candy Heart's little head stuck out from behind the screen again.
Kang Xi saw that Little Candy's eyes were still on him. He was shocked and his eyes widened. He waved at the little guy and said,"Candy Heart, the Emperor has seen it. Hurry up and come out with your fourth brother!”
Yinzhen was not surprised when he heard Kangxi call Little Candy Heart from behind the screen, which Xianying had specially made for him. It was impossible for the two elites outside to not notice Little Candy Heart's unsavory peeking action. Yinzhen did not stop her because he knew that Xianying would not let Kangxi blame her, and if she could make him run away in embarrassment, the knowledge in the saint's book cover would not appear now. He could also go to the study outside to ask Xianying about the questions that he couldn't understand.
However, it seemed that Kang Xi was more thick-skinned than the younger ones. In the Palace of Jing Ren, Yin Zhen had never been less biased than Tang Xin. Of course, he was also involved in the appearance after causing trouble. However, it was quite stuffy in this small room separated by a thick screen. After a while, he carefully placed the book in his hand into the hole in the middle of the desk that had been taken out. He got up and walked out of the desk to Tang Xin, who looked embarrassed and pitiful. He grinned at her. He reached out and gently scratched his nose, saying in a low voice,"I was so happy just now. Now that someone has found out, it shouldn't be too late.”
Seeing the rare smile on Yinzhen's face, Tang Xin knew that he was not angry at Kangxi for dragging him out and was going out to be scolded together. She rushed over and hugged Yinzhen's waist. She complained softly,"Fourth Brother, how can this be all Tang Xin's fault? It's the Emperor's Ma who has been bullying Mother every day these past few days. He even put up such a big screen in the study and threw us all inside. Tang Xin was really bored, so she went to peek!”
Yinzhen, who was naturally ticklish, couldn't stand being rubbed by Tang Xin like this. He quickly reached out and pushed the little guy away. He held Tang Xin's hand and begged,"Okay, okay, it's all my fault. Our sugar heart is very obedient today. She completed the practice and memorization that Mother said very well.”
As Yinzhen spoke, he felt that Tangxin had indeed been wronged these past few days. He touched the little girl's bag twice with one hand and saw that she was not comfortably rubbing against his palm. So what if the spoiled son of his mother, Yinzuo, had two younger sisters? Yinzhen definitely believed that they were not as cute and caring as Tangxin. Because of the delay in their conversation, they should go out. Yinzhen looked up and listened to the silence outside the screen. He held Little Tangxin's left hand tightly and said,"Candy Heart, the Emperor and Mother are still waiting for us outside. Don't be like this, Mother is here. The Emperor won't say anything.”
Usually, when Mother was around, the Emperor would not scold them, but today, Mother was also among the people who were secretly laughing. She raised her pair of almond-shaped eyes that were flashing with tears and looked at Yinzhen's silent plea. She did not know where Tang Xin learned this trick, but Yinzhen raised his hands and surrendered without breaking."Even if Mother doesn't help us, Fourth Brother will think of a way, okay?”
Hearing Yinzhen's promise, Tang Xin finally calmed down. She was really not afraid that Kangxi would see her a few times a month. He always had a smile on his face and coaxed her to play. In comparison, Xianying, who usually did not seem to have a temper, could definitely be called a strict teacher when she explained the rules and knowledge to Yinzhen and Tang Xin. This time, Tang Xin broke the rules and peeked. Now, she was really afraid. She said,"I knew that Fourth Brother dotes on Tangxin the most. Mother usually listens to your advice. This time, you must help Tangxin.”
Yinzhen, who wanted to say something else, heard Kangxi call out to them again. He said,"Why isn't she here yet? Is Tang Xin afraid of what she did?”She hurriedly nodded at Tang Xin and held her hand as they walked out.
Under Kang Xi and Xian Ying's gaze, the two little fellows bowed with a smile on their faces and said,""Yin Zhen (Tu Ling Shan 'a) greets the emperor, the emperor is blessed.”
Every time Kangxi saw Yinzhen and the two-year-old Tuling and Shana, he would sigh at Xianying's sincere guidance. The rules were not dull at all. If it were not for the fact that the princes and princesses in the palace were all born to high-ranking imperial concubines, Kangxi would have thought of finding another child for Xianying to raise.
Kang Xi nodded with a satisfied smile and said to the two,""All rise. With your mother here, zhen would feel more relaxed if there were fewer rules.”
The two children didn't think too much about it when they heard Kang Xi's words. Behind them, Xianying, whose arms were sore from the way she had waved her hands in embarrassment, covered her mouth with a round fan and snorted sarcastically. If she really wanted to be less formal, why didn't she fan herself? She had to be a servant girl, fanning herself and serving tea. She also had to come up and chat with Kang Xi from time to time. The more she thought about it, the more she felt sad. She was so angry that she really wanted to throw the fan at Kang Xi, who was already half a month old. However, most of the whips behind were on Half-Light's head.
Although she was angry that Little Candy was secretly sneering at her, Xianying heard Kang Xi ask the two children. She quickly put away her thoughts and carefully listened to Kang Xi."I have submitted quite a number of memorials these past two days, and I haven't chatted much with you guys every day. Of course, the most important thing is that I haven't spent more time with our Tangxin.”
After Kang Xi finished speaking, everyone in the study turned to look at her. The corners of her mouth curled up into a sweet smile as she replied,"Candy heart is not important. Mother knows that you are busy with the country every day. Every time you don't come, she will sit at this desk and stare at the door in a daze. Candy heart also has to understand the hard work of Emperor Ma and will not complain.”
Xianying, who was standing behind Kangxi, gaped in shock when she heard Tang Xin's reply. How could this little fellow, Xiaoxiao, have guessed that? She had indeed entered the space with her spiritual power without fainting or falling asleep. Occasionally, when she was free during the day, she would enter the space to search for information about the Qing Dynasty.
Compared to Xianying's shock and disbelief, Kangxi was delighted to hear this. He turned to look at Xianying's face, which had not faded from her embarrassment and anger. She opened her mouth slightly as if she wanted to refute but could not say anything. Kangxi felt that what Tangxin said was true. However, compared to Tangxin's innocence, Yinzhen did not know why his mother often looked at the door of the study in a daze, but it was definitely not because of the Emperor. However, now was not the time to prove the truth. He apologized to his mother in his heart and also spoke up to prove for Tang Xin,"Your Majesty, Mother indeed often sits in your seat when you're not around, staring blankly at the closed or open study door.”
Yinzhen did not dare to say anything too definite, so he only told the truth. However, he still saw her red eyes glaring at him, so he quickly bowed to Kang Xifu and retreated to the side.
"I didn't, I…" She placed her hand on her forehead and turned to look at Kang Xi with a smile in his eyes. Xianying quickly opened her mouth to explain, but Kang Xi would not listen to her words that did not match her heart. He reached out and pulled Xianying in front of him to explain. His hand that was moving in the air tightly held her in front of him and gently patted him with a smile."Beloved Consort, don't be anxious. Today, this one will not leave as early as the other days. These days, the two beloved ministers of the Tong family have done their best for the matters of the court and have long troubled this one. However, because they are all very important to the stability of the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, this one rarely stays for too long these days.”
How did things turn out like this? Xianying felt uncomfortable when Kang Xi held her soft hand, but after hearing what Kang Xi said, she had long forgotten about this little tender tofu that had been eaten. In her panic, she remembered that she had asked Imperial Physician Liu to help her out. After calming down a little, she said with a troubled expression,"It's not that ChenQie doesn't want to keep the emperor, but ChenQie's broken body hasn't recovered over the years. But today, let's go and see how Little Niu Gulu and YiFei's younger sister are doing. ChenQie heard Imperial Physician Liu say that the two of them should be carrying more princes!”
No matter how much Xianying wanted to hear Kang Xi agree, everyone seemed to be against her today. Kang Xi raised his hand and waved at the two little guys to leave. When he saw the door closed, he used a little strength and pulled Xianying onto Kang Xi's strong legs. Before Xianying could struggle to get up, she felt Kang Xi caressing her back and comforting her,"Ying 'er, you don't need to worry about your health. Imperial Physician Liu said that it has already recovered.”
The author had something to say: " Dear friends, I'm sorry. I went to attend the wedding banquet of my mother's classmate and child tonight, and only came back to post now. I don't have much to say. Hurry up and update the article. Hot pot kiss, can this be considered a little easier?" Hehe! Thank you, dear Zhang Zhang, for leaving messages. Of course, I'm also very grateful to those who left messages. Also, for those who are more familiar with Qing Dynasty etiquette, can you please send me your contact number? These rabbits really need it!
