The Woman Behind Kangxi: The Biography of Virtuous Concubine

Chapter 32
There is a faint scent of cinnamon in the air, and the golden sunlight flows down like water.The wind swirled down from the air, shaking the weaving vines of the bougainvillea, and the purple flowers were scattered on the branches, like the stars in the sky.

Ning Deyong straightened up lazily, and yawned lightly. This sleep was really sweet, as if he had never slept so peacefully since entering the palace.

"Liu Li" she called out, wanting to ask her to pour a cup of grapefruit honey tea for herself. Sure enough, people get lazy as they grow up. She chuckled lightly. She had never been so delicate when she was at home.

Liuli raised the curtain and came in: "My lord, you're awake. The concubine Tong of Chengqian Palace just sent someone to ask me to come over and have a little gathering. Will you come over, lord?"

Ning De raised his eyebrows and asked, "When did this happen?"

"Not long ago."

"Nonsense! Why didn't you wake me up?" Ning De hurriedly got out of bed, sat down in front of the dressing table and asked heavily with a comb in his hand.

Seeing that she got angry, Liuli hurriedly said with a bitter face: "It's the emperor, the emperor came to see the young master early in the morning, and saw that the young master was sleeping soundly, ordered no one to disturb the young master's peaceful sleep."

Ning De paused while combing his hair, and asked, "Has the emperor come here today?" Without waiting for her answer, he continued, "Forget it, let me spare you this time, the rules in the palace are too strict, if you act like this again Advocate, I dare not want you."

Liuli was frightened and hurriedly said: "Your servant dare not, the young master will be beaten and scolded, but don't want me!" This side hurriedly came forward to groom Ningde skillfully.

Fei Cui hurriedly served a bowl of fragrant stalk rice porridge, Ning De used it a bit, saw that the dressing was done, and immediately stood up and said: "Well, let's go, let's go to Xianfu Palace to meet Concubine Tong."

Along the way, Liuli couldn't help asking curiously: "My lord, my lord, what do you think Concubine Tong invited us to do?"

Ning De didn't look at her, and said indifferently: "You will know when you arrive."

Fei Cui analyzed: "Concubine Tong has always been generous to others and polite in advancing and retreating. She will definitely not make things difficult for our young master, and now the young master is appreciated by the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager. She may not be able to win over my young master."

Ning De still smiled lightly and did not say a word.

After entering Chengqian Palace, Concubine Tong asked Ning De to take the seat, Ning Deqian gave way, but finally refused and sat down anyway.Seeing that the person who served her tea was somehow replaced by Concubine Tong's personal maid Zhen Zhu hurriedly got up half of her body and took the tea with both hands.

Concubine Tong glanced at her and said with a smile, "Why should you be polite to her, she's just a servant."

Ning De said solemnly: "I was the one to be rude. My sister is above me, but she treats me so politely. It really makes me uneasy. When Ning De first arrived in the palace, he dared not lose his dignity!"

Concubine Tong sneered and said, "We are all serving the emperor. This level of dignity is only in the emperor's heart, not in the name of the outside world!"

Ning De was slightly taken aback, Concubine Tong's words today sounded strange, so she didn't dare to answer indiscriminately.So he shook his head with a smile and said, "I don't understand the meaning of sister's words!"
