Chapter 7 Mutual Affection


In the next few days, Zhu Rui didn't see Babele again.

Sometimes when he went back to the house at night and chatted with Aunt Huashu, he could tell that he still paid his respects to the good concubine as usual, but he never "touched" her again.

In the afternoon, unless a good concubine summons her, Zhu Rui usually doesn't have to wait in the study.

A few days ago, Zhu Rui got up after her lunch break and was looking for fabric patterns in the house.

She planned to make one or two sets of short-sleeved skirts for summer before summer came.

Although she couldn't wear them outside, she could always keep cool inside the house.

Cool.

I have only been in ancient times for more than a month, and I don’t know how hot it will be in ancient summers.

Furthermore, even if the temperature is not as high as modern times, it is not cool to wear long sleeves and long pants in summer, so make some preparations first.

Good just in case.

I could vaguely hear the singing of the servants outside.

It sounded like the emperor was coming.

Zhu Rui carefully opened the window and looked out through the gap.

He could not see the shadow of the emperor, but looking at the atmosphere of the battle, there was no doubt that he was the emperor.

The bamboo basket carefully closed the window again.

As for Kangxi's attitude towards the harem, Zhu Rui was not enthusiastic about it.

He couldn't tell anything about it from history books before, but some commentators and authors have said that it was probably a matter of equal concern.

Although the emperor's affairs were discussed a lot privately in the harem, they were taboo in the palace, and newcomers like Zhu Rui who were not keen on gossip had no way of knowing.

But in the more than a month since I came here, I have never seen Kangxi come.

I found the material, off-white cotton and linen fabric.

As for the tricks, although Ruoqing's female beauty was good, she was nowhere to be found.

Zhu Rui thought that it was not easy to find her, so she might as well beg Aunt Huashu at night.

After collecting the sewing and thread, I looked at the time and thought that the emperor would stay for dinner tonight, and maybe he wouldn't leave.

That day, he made some random guesses, maybe he had wronged Kangxi, and he was still thinking about this good concubine who was far away in Chuxiu Palace.

For some reason, Zhu Rui felt his heart soften.

Suddenly I heard a noise outside, and there were servants singing and the palace people saluting.

Could it be that Kangxi left without even having dinner with the good concubine?

Zhu Rui looked incredulous.

After the courtyard calmed down again, before she could go out, Aunt Huashu had already entered the room.

Judging from her face, Zhu Rui made a good guess.

"What's wrong, aunt, the emperor didn't leave any meal?"

Zhu Rui poured a cup of tea for Hua Shu and handed it to her.

"Alas," Hua Shu took the tea, "I thought the emperor would stay this time.

On the first day of the new year, he ran between the imperial dining room and the small kitchen for most of the day.

Who would have thought that the emperor suddenly drove back to the palace?

."

After saying this, Hua Shu sighed again.

"Auntie, don't worry.

I think the Emperor has something to do, so he can't have dinner with the master.

Seeing that the emperor thinks so highly of our master, I think he is also thinking about the master."

Although he said this, Zhu Rui said I know in my heart it's just rhetoric , who can be fooled by this little bit of face?

It’s just a meal.

It’s the most common thing between husband and wife, but in Tianjia, it’s so difficult.

To put it nicely, it’s a big rule.

To put it bluntly, It's just the tragedy of women.

"Zhu Rui, although the master didn't say anything, he must feel uncomfortable in his heart.

I'm afraid he has to sit in the back for a while.

Please be careful and serve him."

Zhu Rui was puzzled just now.

Logically speaking, this will take a long time.

Shu should be accompanying Liang Fei to comfort and serve her.

Why did he return to the house?

It turned out that he came to greet him for this reason.

"Don't worry, aunt, Zhu Rui knows."

Hua Shu gave a few more instructions and left the house.

The bamboo basket was in the house, and he was only wearing his undershirt.

Seeing that there was nothing going on in the house, and not having to rush there in a while, he planned to change his clothes and go directly.

Zhu Rui took out an aqua palace dress, put it on herself, and combed her hair again.

Previously, I felt too heavy and took off all the headdresses I could.

It was certainly disrespectful to go out like this.

Zhu Rui curled her lips when she thought of putting these headdresses back on one by one.

Before Zhu Rui could finish curling his lips, his eyes lit up.

Yesterday, I saw the little palace maid who was serving flowers to the good concubine holding a branch of peony.

She looked at the bamboo basket and wanted to pick it up.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a silk flower.

It turned out that this little girl saw the peonies blooming in the imperial garden and loved them very much, but she didn't dare to pick them, so she made some silk flowers by herself.

At first glance, these little girls were called bamboo baskets.

Treat it as really normal.

At that time, I just treated it as something new and played with it for a while, then threw it on the dressing table and ignored it.

Now I can deal with it.

After looking in the mirror and tying the flowers into a hairpin, Zhu Rui went to the Yilan Pavilion.

Zhu Rui planned in his heart that if Concubine Liang came tonight, he would talk less and do more, trying to minimize his presence in front of Concubine Liang.

Kangxi didn't stay to eat, so Liang Concubine must be in a bad mood.

Although Liang Concubine is usually very gentle, she is a woman in the harem after all.

Who knows if she will cost her half her life if she expresses her anger.

After a while, Concubine Liang did come, and she was accompanied by Chunliu.

Although they were in the same palace, they didn't see each other often.

They only exchanged a quick look, and Zhu Rui Fu came to greet Concubine Liang.

When Liang Fei saw Zhu Rui there, she was stunned for a few seconds, and then recovered immediately, with a smile on her face: "I said I didn't have anything to do, so I wouldn't call you here to set the rules, but what a coincidence, you girl fell here.

Woolen cloth" Zhu Rui smiled slightly and said: "I have nothing to do.

I thought that instead of sitting in the room, I might as well come to the study to find a book to kill time."

Zhu Rui was not stupid enough to tell the truth.

How could the good concubine be so proud?

It still holds up.

Hearing this, Liang Fei nodded, turned around and said to Chunliu: "You go down first."

Chun Liu resigned and left, leaving only Liang Fei and Zhu Ji in the room.

Liang Fei didn't speak, and Zhu Ji naturally didn't dare to say anything.

For a while, the room was so quiet that it was a little scary.

"I'm so bored.

Let's sing a song to Zhu Rui.

There's a zither over there."

After all, it was Liang Fei who broke the silence first, but it made Zhu Rui even more uncomfortable than before.

Liang Fei pointed her jade finger away, and Zhu Rui glanced in the direction.

Being on duty in this study every day, Zhu Rui naturally knows where everything is.

During the rest of this month, I never saw the good concubine playing the zither, but I vaguely heard her playing the pipa several times, with a clank, pride, and continuous thoughts.

Zhu Rui was thinking that no one knew that she could play the zither.

I am afraid that the good concubine thought that Zakuta Zhu Rui was an official lady and she must be involved in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, so she said this.

Zhu Rui decided to take a gamble, and Fu Shen said: "Master, please forgive me, but I am not very talented.

I am not very good at playing the zither."

He dare not say anything to death.

Just in case it happens, someone recognizes Zhu Rui, and someone knows Zhu Rui's past. .

After Liang Fei heard this, she didn't say anything else.

Maybe it was because of her temper, but maybe she lost interest and just said lightly: "Go down."

"Yes."

Zhu Rui saluted and quietly retreated.

Outside the house, Chunliu was still standing quietly with his head bowed.

When he saw the bamboo basket retreating, he didn't say anything, but obediently blessed his body with the bamboo basket.

Zhu Ji thought about it for a while, and then gave Chun Liu a few words of advice.

When Chun Liu said yes, he returned to the house.

After all, Chunliu was still a half-year-old child, so she took a nap while drinking tea.

Suddenly she heard a crisp sound in the room, and was so startled that she no longer felt sleepy.

He wanted to enter the house to see the good concubine, but he hesitated for a moment, but did not enter the house.

He only called timidly from outside the house: "Master."

After waiting for a while, there was still no movement in the room.

Just when Chunliu was hesitating to call Concubine Liang again, Concubine Liang's faint and tired voice sounded from the house: "Come in."

Chunliu came in at the sound, and saw Liang Fei leaning on the soft couch with her eyes closed, one arm hanging down from the edge of the couch, and her whole body was as soft as a puddle of mud.

After taking a few steps closer, Chunliu discovered that Liang Fei had her eyes open, but she was just looking at one place with her eyelids lowered, which made her look wrong.

Chun Liu followed that gaze and saw a piece of dark round jade shining beautifully in the candlelight.

After a pause, Chunliu squatted down to pick up the plain jade pendant.

He only caught a glimpse of a plum blossom carved on the jade, which was elegant and beautiful.

There were some words engraved on the edge of the round jade, but it was a pity that he was illiterate.

After picking up the jade pendant, Chunliu Gongshen handed it to Liang Fei, but Liang Fei made no move.

After a long time, Chunliu felt that her arms began to feel a little sore.

Liang Fei seemed to be shocked, took out the jade pendant, looked at it carefully, then slowly turned the jade pendant to the candlestick, half-squinting her eyes, and there seemed to be a young man in a trance.

He held her hand with one hand and held up a piece of black jade with the other.

Facing the scorching high sun, he said to her with a smile: "Qinmei, this jade is me and you
