Chapter 28 Chapter 28 When a Woman Becomes a Man's Habit

Qingchuan was not prepared at all, and rushed forward at once, but Wanyue who was sweeping the floor in front of him stretched the broom to Qingchuan's feet by coincidence.Qingchuan couldn't keep her balance, and then she tripped over the broom and fell hard to the ground. Xinlian pursed her lips and smiled, then rushed up pretending to be anxious, and said in her mouth: "I didn't hit you on purpose, I was sweeping the floor, how could I expect you to come over suddenly." Wan Yue hurriedly stepped forward to help Qing Chuan, complained to her and said: "Oh, look at you walking in a daze, the ground has just been sprinkled with water, it's very slippery, didn't you fall hard?"

Qing Chuan bared her teeth from the fall, secretly cursing, what a slippery ass on the ground!These two people clearly did it on purpose!Hey?slip?By the way, Xi Concubine can slide out!Qingchuan's heart moved, and she suddenly had an idea! Xinlian and Wanyue couldn't help being very surprised when they saw Qingchuan stumbled for no reason, and instead of being angry, their faces showed joy. He asked, "Qingchuan, what do you want to do?" Qingchuan laughed heartily twice, got up from the ground, and said to Xinlian: "I want to thank you all!" Xinlian and Wanyue looked at each other in blank dismay, feeling a little silly for a moment.

But Qing Chuan said again: "Really, I finally figured out the problem I've been thinking about for a long time because of your encounter just now. Can you help me find some carpenters?" Although Xinlian and Wanyue didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Qingchuan's gourd, Nanny Jin had already explained that as long as Qingchuan ordered them to do, the two hurriedly reported to Nanny Jin. I found a carpenter from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and came back. Qing Chuan didn't know what to say to those carpenters when she was locked in the room, so the carpenters started to work according to her request.Grandma Jin also came to look at it, and saw the wood shavings flying in the room, choking people. After looking for a long time, she couldn't see what the carpenters were doing.

After working for two days, Qingchuan mysteriously delivered the pair of wooden roller skates to Xi Concubine. Concubine Xi looked at the wooden clogs with a few small wheels under her feet, couldn't help showing surprise on her face, and asked Qingchuan, "You asked me to wear these clogs to perform songs and dances for the emperor?" Qing Chuan nodded with a smile, and fooled Xi Concubine and said: "Your Majesty, as long as you wear these shoes, you will walk like clouds and flowing water. When the Emperor sees you, he will only regard you as a fairy in the sky." Xi Concubine was moved, but she didn't believe it, and asked, "Is it really possible?"

The premise is that you have to learn roller skating!However, Qing Chuan didn't say this, and just patted her chest to assure: "It will definitely work, as long as the skirt is longer and the shoes are not seen!" Concubine Xi was finally persuaded by Qing Chuan, and she went to learn roller skating with the support of Jin Nai and Qing Chuan.It was also thanks to Concubine Xi who had learned to dance before, she had some solid skills, and she was determined to become a blockbuster at the dinner party. She learned very hard and diligently. After only two days, she was able to break away from Qingchuan and Nanny Jin. With his support, he slid proficiently alone in the open space behind the hall.

Now that she can slip, Qingchuan doesn't need to worry about the rest of the singing and dancing arrangements. When it came to the Longevity Day, Concubine Xi secretly arranged the back-up dancers in advance, and then went to the Yonghe Palace.The queen position in the harem has been suspended for many years, and the affairs of the palace have been temporarily handled by the concubine De, who has given birth to the fourth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother.Concubine De is a woman of medium stature, with delicate features and gentle disposition. Seeing that the time is almost up, she takes all the concubines to the gate of the main hall of Qianqing Palace to wait for Kangxi to come to court.

Unexpectedly, everyone waited outside the palace for a long time but did not see Kangxi coming back from the court, and everyone didn't know what happened in the previous court, so they waited a little anxiously.Concubine De quietly sent her confidant maid Fei Cui to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to inquire.After a while, Fei Cui came back and reported to Concubine De in a low voice: "The emperor hasn't come down yet, I heard that some courtiers asked the emperor to re-establish the crown prince, which made the emperor unhappy." Concubine De has been in the palace for a long time, and she has a little understanding of Kangxi's temperament. She also knows that Kangxi has never forgotten her love for Empress Hesheli. Thinking of the abolished prince Yinfeng.

Just thinking like this, Kangxi has already gone to court, with a group of elder brothers behind him, followed by a large group of court ladies and eunuchs, coming to Qianqing Palace in a mighty way.Concubine De didn't dare to be distracted when she saw her, and hurriedly led a group of concubines to welcome her.Kangxi stepped forward to give some help to the older concubines, then turned around and entered the hall. Kangxi is fifty-five years old this year, he is still in good health because he has practiced martial arts since he was a child, but these days because of the abolition of the crown prince, Kangxi is very tired, and his face is a little old.

The banquet in the hall has already been set up, and we are waiting for Kangxi to come to start the banquet.Kangxi sat on the dragon chair, and said lightly to the princes, princesses and concubines below: "Although today is my birthday, a family banquet is no better than a state banquet. Everyone eats as much as they want, and drinks as much as they want. There is no need to be formal." .” Everyone responded quickly, and a dancer came up to the hall to perform dances. Because Xi Concubine's status was not high and she was not favored, the seat was far away from Kangxi. If it was normal, she would have to worry about it again.But today she had other plans in her heart, and she was so happy. When the banquet in the hall started, she hurriedly helped everyone down without paying attention.

At the back of the hall, Qing Chuan had long been waiting among a group of dancers with her dance clothes and a box with roller skates in her arms. Seeing Xi Concubine slipping quietly from the front hall, she rushed forward to help Xi Concubine change her clothes. Concubine Xi was dressed properly, but she felt a little uncertain after all, so she couldn't help asking Qingchuan, "Is this possible?" Qing Chuan put on the veil for Xi Concubine again, gave her thumbs up, and encouraged her: "Absolutely! Just remember, don't let anyone see the shoes on your feet!"

Concubine Xi was still worried, and ordered Nanny Jin to give those dancers a good word, and then got mixed up and went to wait outside the palace gate, only to go on stage after the last song and dance was over. Let's not talk about the concubines Xi, Qingchuan and others outside the hall, just talk about the banquet in the hall, all elder concubines congratulated Kangxi on his birthday and toasted one by one.After drinking for three rounds, Concubine De saw that although Kangxi was smiling, but there was a look of uneasiness in his eyes, she thought for a while and took out a handkerchief, and gently wiped the corners of her eyes. Kangxi on the dragon chair caught a glimpse, and couldn't help feeling a bit puzzled, and asked Concubine De, "Why is Concubine De suddenly feeling sad on such a good day today?" Concubine De hurriedly got up from her chair, and apologized to Kangxi: "This concubine deserves to die, and this concubine is going to plead guilty to the emperor." Kangxi knew that Concubine De had been in the palace for many years, she was a virtuous and virtuous woman, and after hearing this, she couldn't help saying: "Get up, what's the matter?" Concubine De took a look at Kangxi, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and then said softly: "The concubine saw that all the elder brothers were in high spirits, and suddenly remembered the prince of the clan mansion, the emperor, the deceased It's over, the crown prince also knows he was wrong, can you see if you can forgive me..." Kangxi's complexion darkened when he heard this, he interrupted Concubine De and said: "I don't want to mention this matter today." "Your Majesty..." Concubine De wanted to persuade her again, but Kangxi asked in a cold voice: "Concubine De wants to invite her to the clan mansion to take care of that unfilial son?" Concubine De saw that Kangxi's face was already showing anger, she was so frightened that she hurriedly fell silent.The other concubines and elder brothers in the hall had been carefully paying attention to Kangxi's words and deeds, and they all fell silent when they saw this, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became a little dull. At this moment, the music that had been playing in the hall suddenly changed, and the tone suddenly became melodious and brisk.Several teams of dancers in bright dresses rushed in from outside the hall and danced gracefully.The melodious music and the gentle dancing posture made the atmosphere in the hall suddenly relaxed, and Kangxi ignored Concubine De and looked up to watch the singing and dancing. Those dancers are light in figure and graceful in dancing posture, all of them are like fairies, dancing in the hall lightly.Everyone was getting excited when they watched, suddenly, the group of dancers gathered together from all directions, and then quickly dispersed to both sides like dividing water. During the dancing of the long sleeves, it seemed to stir up layers of water waves. Seeing a woman appearing in the water waves, she is more beautifully dressed than other dancers, and other people surround her like stars and moons, making her even more glamorous. This woman dances slowly to the music, sometimes Raising the wrist and lowering the eyebrows, sometimes lightly stretching the cloud hands, the thin Luo Yi dances with the wind, the long sleeves are flowing, like a fairy.I don't see how her feet are moving, but I feel that her figure is graceful, like a Luoshen coming out of water, Lingbo coming. Everyone was dumbfounded for a moment, and even Kangxi couldn't help clapping his hands and praised: "Okay, this dance is good!" The woman slid straight to the front of the throne before slowly stopping, took off the veil covering her face, and prostrated herself to Kangxi. Only now did Kangxi recognize her as Xi Concubine, and asked curiously, "Xi Concubine?" Concubine Xi smiled shyly, and said softly: "All the concubines are bestowed by the emperor, and I can only offer a dance to please the emperor." Kangxi was overjoyed when he heard this, and not only praised Concubine Xi lavishly, but also ordered her to wait by his side, even the dancers who were dancing in the palace just now were also rewarded. Qing Chuan waited at the back of the hall, not knowing whether Xi Concubine's performance in the front hall was going well, her hands were sweating all the time, and then she waited until the little eunuch came to reward the dancing girl, and only then did she know that Xi Concubine had regained Kangxi's favor, Finally he breathed a sigh of relief, now that Concubine Xi has attracted Kangxi's attention, her little life can be saved! For a few days after that, Kangxi stayed at Xi Concubine's Chuxiu Palace, and in the harem, Xi Concubine was always in the limelight. Qingchuan obediently stayed in Ganxi No. 4 Institute for a few days, just waiting for Concubine Xi to keep her promise and release herself from the palace.This day finally came when Xi Concubine passed her on, but when it passed, she rewarded her with some jewelry, and then asked her to come up with new ideas to attract Kangxi's attention. Only then did Qingchuan understand, well, Concubine Xi never planned to let her out of the palace at all. Concubine Xi saw that Qingchuan didn't seem very interested in those jewels, so she asked, "What other reward do you want?" Qing Chuan thought that since she couldn't leave the palace, she might as well ask Xi Concubine to help her find that strange forest, so she hurriedly repainted the painting she had painted for the deposed Prince Yinreng, and handed it to Xi Concubine Said: "If the empress is sympathetic, can you help the servant find this place?" Concubine Xi looked at the painting and wondered, "You don't want a reward, so you're looking for this place?" Qingchuan replied, "Yes." Concubine Xi looked at Qing Chuan, smiled slightly, and said, "Well, as long as you always faithfully help me with my affairs, I will definitely fulfill your wish." Qing Chuan replied yes, and heard Xi Concubine continue to say: "By the way, do you have any good ideas, teach me quickly. What kind of shoes were you last time..." "Skates." Qing Chuan added. "Yes, yes, the emperor is tired of seeing roller skates. I'm afraid that if there are no new tricks, the emperor should go to another place." Concubine Xi said. Qing Chuan thought to himself, well, you've talked so much before, but that's actually the purpose.But what do you think I am?Do you really think of me as a robot cat?There is a bottomless pocket in front of you, you can take out anything you want?That roller skate was all my brainstorming, okay? Although Qing Chuan was full of dissatisfaction, she didn't dare to express it to Xi Concubine, but she had nothing to recruit to Xi Concubine at the moment, so after thinking about it, she simply dealt with it and said, "Your Majesty, actually it is not easy to keep the emperor's heart." You must use new tricks, you think, sooner or later these new tricks will be used up, what to do when they run out? So I think the best way is to understand his habits and make yourself into one of his Habit." Concubine Xi was a little dazed when she heard that, and asked softly, "Turn me into one of his habits? It sounds very reasonable. How can I do it?" Qing Chuan had read this argument in a certain book before, and she had long forgotten how she said it. Now that Xi Concubine came to ask her, how could she answer it, so she could only make up nonsense: "For example... For example, you first understand the habits of the emperor, where he likes to go, what he likes to eat, and then go to the places he likes to walk more and eat more things he likes to eat. Then... and then we can talk about it later. " Xi Concubine couldn't help but asked, "Is that all right?"
