After May Day, everyone in the palace changed into separate clothes.
That day the emperor took a nap and happened to have the new tribute ink from Wuhu Chaoguan come in.
There was originally a tribute ink in Anhui, but Liu Yuan of Wuhu Chaoguan was excellent at making ink.
After the special tribute, the emperor was very happy.
At this time, the emperor saw this year's new ink.
It has a fine luster, a dark color, and Kui patterns on all sides.
In the middle The four characters painted in gold are exactly the words "Song Feng Shui Yue" given by the royal pen.
When he looked up and saw Linlang in front of him, he said, "Get some water and try the ink."
It was the eunuch's job to serve the pen and ink.
Linlang agreed, measured the water from the basin with a copper spoon, put it in the inkstone hall, and gently rotated the ink stick.
After the ink soaked and softened slightly, he gradually applied more force.
Because the new ink is first used, it has gummy and angular properties.
Do not re-sharpen it for fear of damaging the surface of the inkstone.
The emperor couldn't help but smile slightly, the fragrance of smoke and ink lingered faintly, and he could only hear the gentle rustling sound of the ink rubbing on the inkstone.
The emperor only wrote two words, and the ink fell off the paper like paint, smooth and not sticky.
He was very happy to visit Dong Qichang, and his words were originally vigorous and full of meaning, with a graceful attitude, but these two words were written in an extremely clear and elegant way.
Linlang took the imperial pen and put it back on its shelf.
The emperor saw that even the roots of her ears were red, so he asked: "Do you know Chinese characters?"
The ancestral system in the palace did not allow the palace ladies to be able to read and pronounce.
She then replied in a low voice: "I only recognize a few words."
Her face became increasingly red and hot, and her voice was as thin as a mosquito's fly: "I recognize your name."
The emperor couldn't help but be a little surprised.
The eunuchs and maids were all outside the Nuan Pavilion.
He coughed lightly, folded up the piece of plain paper, and casually put it into a book.
As if nothing had happened, he flipped through the arithmetic book to do the calculations.
He was good at arithmetic and hired Western missionaries to teach Western algorithms.
In my spare time, I often practice calculations.
Seeing that he was attentive, Linlang took a step back slightly.
The emperor suddenly asked: "How much is your birth certificate?"
She was stunned for a moment, but when the emperor asked, she had to answer: "Jiachen Jiazi Wuchen" Emperor Liao Liao made a few strokes, then he concentrated for a moment and asked: "The ninth day of the fifth lunar month in the second year of Kangxi's reign" There was another look on her face.
He blushed slightly, just saying "yes."
The emperor lowered his head to calculate again, and the palace became quiet again.
It was so quiet that you could hear the faint sound of the pen tip in the emperor's hand, dragging across the soft paper.
After Xia was handed over, it got dark late, and the lights in the Qianqing Palace were not turned on until the beginning of Xu.
Li Dequan saw that he was "calling", so he wanted to urge the palace gate to lock the key.
However, the emperor walked to the front of the palace and saw only a bright moon, shining silver, low on the palace wall, so he ordered: "I want to go."
Go out for a walk.”
Li Dequan agreed and hurriedly sent orders to prepare for service.
The emperor only frowned slightly and said: "It's really boring to be leisurely in Bu Yue and followed by a bunch of people."
Li Dequan could only smile and said: "Master, please tell me which palace to go to.
I'm a very brave slave.
Long live it."
My Lord, there must be someone following you."
The emperor thought for a while and said, "I won't go anywhere in the palace.
I will just walk around quietly."

Because the emperor ordered the ceremony to be simple, only a dozen people followed, surrounded by eight palace lanterns, and meandered out of Longfu Gate and headed north.
Li Dequan didn't know where the emperor was going, but he was just curious.
After passing through the garden, the key to Shunzhen Gate has been issued.
The emperor ordered the Shunzhen Gate to be opened.
This is when we left the inner palace.
The commander-in-chief of the Shenwu Sect rushed over to pick him up, knelt in front of the shoulder carriage and saluted.
The emperor only said: "I just came to take a look, don't make a fuss."
The commander is respectful and respectful.
Suffering from invasion and invasion The emperor said: "Lighting up lamps under the moon is the most terrible scenery."
He walked west along the city wall.
Li Dequan was about to lead others to follow, but the emperor said: "You are here, I want to be alone for a while."
Li Dequan was so frightened that he made a greeting and said: "Long live Lord, this is no joke.
If the Empress Dowager knew about it, she would kill the slave's head.
Although the city wall is flat and the moonlight is bright, but this "Dark sky and dark night" The emperor never liked his instigation, so he just said: "Then it's up to you.
Just follow him alone with a lantern."
Only then did Li Dequan come back to his senses, feeling secretly amused.
He turned around and waved to Linlang, took the eight-treasure glazed lamp from the little eunuch's hand and handed it to her, and whispered to Linlang: "Go and light it for Lord Long Live."
Linlang agreed and walked forward with the lantern accompanying the emperor.
The wind on the city wall was strong, making people's clothes flutter.
As we walked further, there was only silence everywhere.
Only a bright moon could be seen in the dark blue sky, so low that it seemed like you could reach it at your fingertips.
The emperor was pacing with his hands behind his back, his pace was neither hasty nor slow.
In the wind, you could faintly hear the sound of the pendant shaking on the flat gold purse at his waist.
The wind blew a few short hairs on Linlang's temples, tickling his face.
It's like a child stretching out his little finger and scratching it.
She reached out and raked her hair, and the emperor suddenly stopped.
Linlang also stopped and followed the emperor's gaze back.
In the distance, she saw only a few lights on the tower of Shenwumen, but she had walked like this unknowingly.
Far away.
The emperor turned around, glanced at her, and asked gently: "Are you cold?"
Linlang didn't want him to ask like this and just said: "My slave is not cold."
The emperor stretched out his hand to hold her hand.
She was frightened for a moment, but fortunately he let go and only said: "My hand is so cold, and he said "It's not cold."
He reached out and untied the Ruyi sash tied around her neck, took off the bright yellow and flat gold embroidered gold dragon cloak, and put it on her shoulders.
Her face turned pale with fear, and she just said: "I don't dare."
The emperor personally tied up the Ruyi sash for her, and said lightly: "You are not allowed to call yourself a slave at this time."
This is the emperor's order.
Whether you obey it or not is a violation of the rules.
Her mind is as confused as a thousand cocoons reeling in her heart.
There are thousands of thoughts, but she doesn't know where to start.
The emperor stretched out his hand, and she felt confused and confused, so she had no choice but to hand her hand into his.
The emperor's hand was very warm.
He took her and walked forward slowly.
Her mind was wandering and her expression was in a trance.
She only heard him ask: "How many years have you been in the palace?"

She replied in a low voice: "Two years."
The emperor hummed and said: "You must be very homesick."
Her voice was even lower: "I don't dare."
The emperor smiled slightly: "If you don't change your words, I will I’m going to punish you.”
She was startled, but the emperor took her hand and approached the battlement and said: "The rules in the palace do not allow you to go to your home.
Just take a look here.
It can be regarded as a visit to your home."
She was stunned for a moment, her heart was full of twists and turns, she didn't know whether she was sad or happy, surprised or surprised.
But I heard him say: "Today is your birthday.
I promise you something.
If you think about it, tell me.
Whatever you want, or what you want me to agree to, you can tell me."
The wind got stronger and stronger, blowing the bright yellow cloak on her body to flutter.
The cloak still seemed to have the residual warmth of his body, and the familiar but unfamiliar scent of ambergris floated vaguely.
There was only inexplicable pain in her heart, like a very dull knife being slowly filed there.
The heat in her eyes almost burst out of her eyes, and she only said softly: "Linlang doesn't dare to ask for anything from Lord Long Live."
He just stared at her, and she slowly turned her face away.
Standing here and looking out, among the thousands of lights in the Nine Cities, which one is her home?
He slowly raised his hand, holding her hand in his palm.
There was a new injury on the wrist, but it was from when he was on duty not long ago.
The teacup was overturned and burned.
At that time, her face turned pale, but she only asked: "Has the perm been permed?"
After making such a big mistake, he was naturally frightened.
At that time, I just felt pitiful.
Those dark eyes, like a frightened deer, made people's hearts beat.
Her hand was trembling slightly, which made him a little unbearable, but he only squeezed it gently and continued to carry her forward.
The eight-treasure glass lamp in her hand, the candle lit in the lamp, only cast a dim yellow light at the feet of the two of them.
In the night, the city wall seemed like a long road that would never end.
Li Dequan saw that the moon was already hanging diagonally on the eaves of the tower, and he was secretly anxious.
He saw a glimmer of light approaching from a distance, and hurriedly led people to greet it.
The emperor's expression was calm, and Linlang was by his side, holding a lamp in one hand and the emperor's bright yellow and flat gold cloak on the other.
Li Dequan hurriedly took it and said, "It's cold in the night.
Why did Long Live Lord take off this cloak?"
He put it on the emperor's head and tied it with the ribbon.
The guards of the Shenwu Sect had already changed their duties.
At this time, the commander of the guards on duty stepped forward and kowtowed: "Nalan Xingde, the guard on duty, respectfully greets the emperor."
When the emperor saw it was him, he smiled and said: "It's rare for me to go out for a walk, but I met you again.
Don't tell others what happened today.
If it spreads to the ears of those officials, I will be noisy again."
Nalan responded "yes" and kowtowed again: "It is cold and windy in the night, please get up and drive back to the palace."
The emperor said: "If you don't hurry me, I have to leave."
Suddenly a gust of wind passed by, and the city tower was narrow.
Nalan knelt down very close to the emperor and smelled the faint fragrance between the emperor's sleeves.
Although the fragrance was weak, But this wisp of familiar fragrance has long been lingering in my mind, and my heart is full of doubts, just a blank panic.
The emperor didn't pay attention, and went downstairs surrounded by people.

Nalan only felt the corner of his light blue clothes flash, and the fragrance was lingering, just like in a dream.
The gait was light, and when it came to him, it froze slightly, and then passed in front of him.
He went to the gate tower to see the emperor off, and finally pretended that he didn't mean it.
He glanced at the palace maids and saw Linlang's face was as white as snow, and the look on her face was restless, as if she had something on her mind.
He didn't dare to look more. , and immediately lowered his head.
Li Dequan gently clapped his hands, and the eunuch who was carrying the carriage turned his direction steadily.
The eunuch in the respect room sang: "Long live the Lord, take off!"
The voice was clear and mellow, and the distant roof of the palace was startled in the silence of the night.
The bird perched on the sky fluttered over the city wall and flew to the high sky outside the forbidden city
