Chapter 813 Concubine Du Kang
"Brother Emperor, Ning'an will go to Rongfu Palace to pay his respects to Empress Du later. Don't leave in a hurry." When they parted in front of Changchun Palace, Princess Ning'an waved Waving his little hand, he specifically warned King Yu.
Changchun Palace is the palace where Princess Shen lives. When Princess Ning'an was 3 years old, her mother-in-law, Concubine Cao Duan, was involved in the "Renyin Palace Incident" and was executed by Queen Fang. After that, Princess Ning'an was killed by Emperor Shen. Adopted by a noble concubine, she has been living in Changchun Palace.
"Well, go back quickly, and don't forget to say hello to the imperial concubine for me." King Yu nodded, and then watched Princess Ning'an and her entourage enter the Changchun Palace.
After Princess Ning'an entered Changchun Palace, King Yu and his party continued forward, passing through a garden and arriving at Rongfu Palace.
"His Royal Highness King Yu is here, go and report to the empress."
Rongfu Palace was originally quiet, but when the maids and eunuchs of Rongfu Palace saw Queen Yu, they were all happy and rushed to tell each other, Rongfu The palace became lively.
Corridor, flower garden, rockery, screen.
King Yu stood at the entrance of the palace, looking at the familiar and unfamiliar plants and trees in Rongfu Palace, and was involuntarily stunned.
The sunny corridor was my favorite place to read when I was a child, because the sun there was the best and it felt warm on my body. I remember that one time when I was reading in the corridor when I was a child, I was praised by my father who came to see my mother and concubine. What was the praise at that time? Oh, I remember. My father said that a horse can't take ten steps with one leap; a horse can't take ten steps. Ten drives, the merit lies in never giving up.
The old tree root on the rockery is still there. When I was climbing the rockery when I was a kid, I slipped and fell off the rockery. Thanks to grabbing the old tree root on the way, my head was saved from being smashed
There are also flower beds, When I was a child, I, Zhendi and Ning'an liked to play hide and seek there
However, the plants and trees here looked familiar, but also very strange.
For example, in the flower garden, I remember that there used to be the most peonies planted in the flower garden. My mother-in-law loved peonies the most. Every summer, the flower garden was red, purple and pink. The garden was filled with colorful peonies. .
During the flower season, my father came to Rongfu Palace more often, and empresses and nobles often came to Rongfu Palace to ask for flowers.
It can be said that "the peonies are blooming in the spring, and we have decided not to enjoy the flowers this year. We cut three hundred flowers from the gold plate and gave them to the families of the ministers in batches."
But now, why are the peonies in the flowerbed gone? Instead, there are so many chrysanthemums planted.
It’s not that chrysanthemums are preferred among flowers, but there are no flowers even when the flowers are in full bloom. Although chrysanthemums are also good, when did the mother-in-law change her preferences?
"Your Highness King Yu is here, please come with your servants. The Queen was talking about Your Highness just now."
While King Yu was thinking, a woman in blue palace clothes appeared , walked over quickly, he was about 20 years old, gentle and capable, walked in front of King Yu, said Wan Fu with excitement on his face.
"Thank you Aunt Jinyu." King Yu couldn't help but smile on his face when he saw the person coming, and he bowed with his hands.
“Your Highness has broken this slave.” Palace Lady Jin Yu turned sideways to avoid it.
“When I was a kid, I made trouble, and Aunt Jinyu had to cover up for me and take the blame for me many times. Others can’t bear it, but Aunt Jinyu can. Oh, by the way, auntie, doesn’t my mother-in-law love peonies the most? "When will you plant chrysanthemums instead?" Prince Yu has been familiar with Palace Maid Jinyu since he was a child, and his tone of voice is much more affectionate than when he talks to other people.
"It's all Lu Jing." Jinyu heard this and thought about the reason why the flower garden was replanted with chrysanthemums. Her eyebrows couldn't help but frown slightly. When she was about to explain the reason, she heard Du Kangfei's voice coming from behind her, so When the words reached his lips, he swallowed them back.
“Ge’er is here, hurry up, let me take a good look at my Go’er.”
Concubine Du Kang called, pushing away the maid's support, and walked over quickly holding a gold silk and phoenix pattern handkerchief.
Concubine Du Kang was dressed in a luxurious pink palace dress, embroidered with a golden phoenix. The pleats of her skirt were like peony petals blooming on the ground. Her green silk hair was rolled up into a fairy cloud bun, and a embroidered embroidery was inserted diagonally. With a small and round pearl step, a pair of eyes looked at King Yu full of joy. Although he was very excited, his demeanor was still inexhaustible, and there was a sense of luxury in his every move.
Although she is already over thirty years old, Concubine Du Kang takes very good care of herself. Even though there is no trace of wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, her appearance remains the same and her elegance is still there.
"Mother Concubine." Prince Yu hurried forward to greet her, with worry on his face, "Mother Concubine is slightly ill, why don't you keep her in the house? It's not good to see the wind."
< br>"Giggle. My son has grown up and I know that I feel sorry for my mother and concubine." Du Kangfei chuckled and joked.
"Concubine, I have grown up a long time ago." Prince Yu blushed. He was very embarrassed when Concubine Du Kang teased her in front of all the palace maids and eunuchs. He half changed the topic, and half seriously questioned Du Kangfei. A palace maid asked, "How do you take care of your mother and concubine? Why don't you give me some advice?"
"Your Highness, please forgive me." The two palace ladies bowed their heads in apology.
"Don't do their business. Okay, I won't tease you anymore. To tell you the truth, my mother-in-law is in good health." Du Kangfei waved her hand, smiled slightly, and said softly.
Wang Yu was startled when he heard this, his eyes full of doubt.
"Concubine I just miss you too much, that's why I call it sick. Otherwise, how could your father be willing to let you come into the palace to see me." Concubine Du Kang blinked, her eyes as clear and bright as amber. , said with a slight smile.
"If you don't believe me, ask Jin Yu." Concubine Du Kang pointed at the palace maid Jin Yu beside her.
Under the gaze of Prince Yu and Concubine Du Kang, Jin Yu nodded slowly.
“You see, Jin Yu never lies.” Concubine Du Kang smiled sweetly, then reached out and took Prince Yu’s wrist, just like when she was a child and led him to toddle. Pulling King Yu towards the palace.
While passing by the flower garden, Concubine Du Kang stretched out her slender hand, pointed at the chrysanthemums in the flower garden, and introduced them to King Yu one by one, "Look, this clump of red rhododendrons is as red as a peony. The majestic chrysanthemum is called black peony; over there, that cluster of pure white and flawless flowers looks like The name of the independent fairy is White Peony. Although there is only one plant here, it is the most precious one. It was donated to your father by a family that has been growing flowers for a hundred years in Lingnan, and your father gave it to me. , there are no more than a hundred plants in the entire Ming Dynasty. It is called Yaotai Yufeng. Look at the white flowers. The petals are wrapped around the yellow flower heart layer by layer. It has a graceful beauty, just like a Yaotai fairy, so it is called Yaotai Jade Phoenix. And, there."
After Du Kangfei introduced the last kind of chrysanthemum, she rubbed her eyes gently She was shining brightly, with a shy blush like a newly married woman appearing on her face, and she said to King Yu softly, "So, the emperor treats me with care. Geer, you only built your mansion outside, so please take good care of you." Your father will assign you errands, so don’t worry about your mother and concubine.”
Palace Maid Jinyu, who was following Concubine Du Kang and Prince Yu, listened to Concubine Du Kang's words, her eyes couldn't help but turn red, a tear almost fell down, she hurriedly stretched out her hand to wipe it away, squeezed out a smile on her face, and agreed, "Yes. Your Majesty, the emperor is very fond of his wife.”
“I’m sorry,” Prince Yu nodded under Concubine Du Kang’s gaze.
The smile on Concubine Du Kang's face became even more beautiful when she heard this. She was more beautiful than a flower. She pulled Prince Yu up the stairs and slowly walked into the palace. (End of this chapter)
