The Woman Behind Kangxi: The Biography of Virtuous Concubine

Chapter 8
"Chuiyang Yang keeps picking up the remnants, and the Yantooth Hongqiao looks like a picture. It is also a pot of gold, so it should be called Slender West Lake."

Slender West Lake is located in the northwest of Yangzhou City. It has been a scenic spot since the Six Dynasties and has become a symbol of Yangzhou's elegance and luxury.

The beauty of Slender West Lake lies mainly in its twists and turns. Compared with West Lake in Hangzhou, one looks like a plump and graceful young woman, and the other looks like a slender and graceful lady.Ten miles away from the Slender West Lake, there are 24 Bridges, Wuting Bridge, White Tower, Dahong Bridge, Xiaojin Mountain, Xu Garden, Chuitai, Yueguan and other scenic spots.Slender West Lake is characterized by "thinness". The lake surface is wide and narrow at times, the trees on both sides are sparse, and the garden buildings are simple and colorful. During the boat ride, the scenery is constantly changing and fascinating everywhere.

It is August when the sweet-scented osmanthus is in full bloom, and the window is open to enjoy the moon, and the fragrance is overflowing. You can see the two months in the sky and under the water at the same time. This scene is very moving.There is also the singer of the flower boat on the lake, who is obsessed with the beauty of the red tooth singing board and sings. The singing is soft and soft. What she sings is:

"Lingbo's evening steps are clear and smokey, the clouds are high in Taihua, and there is no sky beyond the sky.

Cuiyu shakes the wind, cold beads weep dew, and the total solution lingers.

The bright moon is cold and the jade lotus is in the pavilion, and the light fragrance is scattered all over the lake boat.People are like immortals, and flowers are pitiful.

Wait for the wine to fill the golden cup, and the poems to fill the paper..."

This soft singing voice is charming and soft, with a long and long ending. It floats like scratching my heart, and it seems to be ringing softly in my ears. It is really a different kind of ecstasy.When the singer Niaoyao finished singing, the two younger girls behind her changed into Yiyang tune with her, and sang brightly and cheerfully:
"Fish blowing the waves, geese falling on the sand, leaning against the green screen of the autumn mountains and hanging high; watching the sound of the river tide, thousands of homes, rolling the vermilion curtain and jade people are picturesque!"

"Okay! It's a good sentence'Look at the sound of the river tide, thousands of homes, and the beautiful people like a picture! Wake up, look, Yangzhou Slender West Lake really deserves its reputation! If you don't come down for a walk, I really don't know that there are such good days in this world. Beautiful scenery." A white-clothed boy standing on the boat blurted out his praise.

After finishing speaking, he raised his neck and drank his glass of wine.

At this time, it was approaching the middle of the night, and the moonlight was cold and the night was quiet; on both sides of the winding waterway, from time to time, withered yellow leaves fell to the bow of the ship, like fallen butterflies in the night.In the sound of the scull, the bright moon in the upper half of the day was reflected in the water, and it fell on the side of the boat, rippling into a mass of broken light and shadow, as if it could be fished by stretching out.

"The emperor said it was good, but slaves are vulgar people, but I really can't see how good it is to see the broken flowers and rotten leaves. It can compare with the splendor of the palace, and the singer's singing is even worse than those imperial actors. " Mo Xingyan scratched his head and replied.

"You, what a vulgar person! This is a waste of such an elegant name like Xingyan." The boy said with a smile, but he didn't think it was strange.

It was the 14th year of Kangxi, more than six years had passed since Oboi was captured wisely, and there were still two years before the three chaos in the future.And these two people are Emperor Kangxi who visited privately in Weibo, and his personal bodyguard Mo Xingyan.
