Can’t force it

Liang Jiugong nodded secretly in his heart, and now he roughly understood why Emperor Kangxi liked Yu Lian so much.

Regardless of her appearance, her tenacity is unique in the harem. Regardless of whether she can persevere to the end, at least she can make people appreciate her with her words.

Jingshan is close to the Forbidden City, and there are beautiful scenery in all seasons. The maple leaves all over the mountain in early autumn are particularly beautiful. It is not that Emperor Kangxi did not come here with his harem women in the past, but mountain climbing is not a favorite activity for the women, and they are dressed top-heavy.

, most of them will feel tired after only walking halfway.

Once or twice, I could rest with a little favor from Emperor Kangxi, but if the times were too many, it would inevitably defeat Emperor Kangxi's enthusiasm.

In the past two years, Emperor Kangxi no longer likes to take the female relatives of the harem up the mountain. If Yu Lian can really persist, Emperor Kangxi will definitely take a high look. From now on, he will only think of her wherever he goes, and he will accompany him more often.

, the relationship between Emperor Kangxi and Yu Lian was naturally deep.

So sometimes these favors may not necessarily be rewarded by Emperor Kangxi. Whether one has the ability to be favored depends on his own character. To put it more deeply, it is whether there is something in his life.

You can't force it.

Liang Jiugong thought to himself. Hearing Yu Yuan's words, he looked far away and thought about Yu Yuan's future. Now he couldn't help but be more respectful and gave Yu Yuan a water bag.

Yu Lian did not refuse this time. She took a sip of her moist and dry lips and felt much better. Then in order to maintain her strength, she stopped talking and just walked quickly with Emperor Kangxi in her mouth.

The road ahead was really not that far. After walking for about three-quarters of an hour, I saw from a distance the tall cypress trees on the left and right sides of the end, which were much taller than the surrounding plants. They were vigorous and straight, with branches.

Like dragon claws, the thin branches tremble when the breeze blows, it really seems like there is a green dragon entwining in the dark, as if it wants to soar to the sky.

If nothing else, these two trees are the "Second General Cypress".

After putting down the tea cup and sending Liang Jiugong and others out, Emperor Kangxi just pulled Yu Lian to sit down, and like a magic trick, he took out an oil paper bag and gave it to Yu Lian.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Kangxi couldn't help but feel regretful, but Abbot Puhui was always used to being casual, and he didn't meet people every time he came. He wasn't very disappointed at the moment, as he would have to stay here for five or six days.

, maybe I can wait until the abbot Puhui comes, I don’t know for sure.

After walking a little further, you can faintly smell the scent of incense. The door of the Huguo Temple is open, with a large cauldron in the middle. Inside, the welcome incense is burning. The monks are waiting in front of the door early.

, and did not wait for Emperor Kangxi and his entourage to stand up before greeting them. Although monks did not have to kneel to Emperor Kangxi, the etiquette was still indispensable.

There are many fruit trees a little further away. The branches are bent a little by the fruits. Yu Guan took a closer look and saw that the fruits were like small tangerines. They were all plump and looked like they were ripe, but for some reason no one picked them.

, Yu Lian is a little greedy.

Although this place is a place where the royal family often visits, and the court allocates money for maintenance and repairs every year, it is a pure place of Buddhism and is never allowed to be extravagant. Therefore, it is somewhat crude compared to the Forbidden City, and the sleeping place is only a

A simple kang requires little decoration.

Emperor Kangxi didn't blame anything. He nodded and took the Biluochun handed over by Yu Yuan. He took a sip, but the tip of his tongue tasted something wrong. He stopped drinking it. It was just a pity for his own good tea.

Eating fruits has become a luxury since the Qing Dynasty, especially as the weather gets colder and the fruit output decreases. Emperor Kangxi likes to eat fresh vegetables but not fruits, so people come in every day.

The offer was not much. I tasted a few apricots from Emperor Kangxi's side, and my teeth were so sore.

The lunch meal was prepared in the temple, so the servants didn't have to worry about it. They were just busy cleaning up.

Emperor Kangxi didn't ask anyone else, and just followed Guanjing to the monastery at the back to settle down. After a short rest, he used the vegetarian room and then went to perform the blessing ceremony.

Looking at the tangerines, Yu Yan hesitated for a while and did not dare to pick them, for fear of violating a taboo, so she had to turn around and go back to the room to clean them up for Emperor Kangxi.

The young master in charge, Guanjing, was the eldest disciple of Abbot Puhui. He hurriedly replied: "Unfortunately, the master has been traveling since spring. He said he would be back after the Mid-Autumn Festival. It's already October and he still hasn't seen you.

The poor monks and disciples are also worried about the news."

The water quality in Beijing is not good, and it is slightly bitter. Usually, the young master likes to drink tea just because he wants to suppress the taste of the water. But this will inevitably affect the quality of the tea. How could the emperor be wronged in this?

Special water tankers were sent to Yuquan Mountain in the west of Beijing to collect water every day. The original route was not close, let alone coming to Jingshan today, so transporting water was even more difficult.

"Stop working now and try this vegetarian cake. There is nothing delicious here. The vegetarian noodles are boring, and the green vegetables and tofu have no good taste. I only used half a bowl and couldn't use it anymore."

Thinking that Emperor Kangxi was going to lie down after dinner, Yu Yan notified Eunuch Liang and Wei Zhu, and she stopped serving the meal and had to tidy up the clothes and make the bed for Emperor Kangxi.

After the two parties exchanged greetings for a while, Emperor Kangxi looked around and was inevitably a little disappointed not to see Abbot Puhui.

"I wonder if Master Puhui is here? In addition to praying for the Qing Dynasty, I came here to discuss Buddhism with Master Puhui."

Yes, Emperor Kangxi didn't even drink water casually.

After a while, Emperor Kangxi came back with his people. Yuqian hurriedly greeted him, wet the handkerchief and handed it to him to clean his hands and face: "Long live Lord, would you like to have tea? The carriage transporting the mountain spring is still halfway there.

My son, my servant took some spring water here, and it tasted pretty good."

However, the surrounding environment is also really good. As soon as you open the door, you can see the strange plants. It is rare that there are so many flowers blooming when the weather is cold. The sandalwood wrapped in flowers and plants is fresh and refreshing when you breathe, which makes people feel calm.

Very.

"Only the taste of these vegetarian cakes is not bad. This is the craftsmanship of several young masters. Due to limited manpower, I have only made twenty or thirty pieces today. I don't know how the Yanxin people can eat them like that, but they are actually in front of me."

I came here to grab the food, it’s really unruly, I have to be quick with my eyes and hands!”

Yu Lian took it with a smile. She was really in a good mood when she saw Emperor Kangxi coming out to play. She used to have a deep relationship with the Haha Pearls around her, but now that there are no rules and restraints, they all show their true colors, and they are all the age of Amma.

, actually making trouble like a bunch of teenagers.

"Thank you for thinking about it, Lord Long Live. I just ate some snacks, and I'm not very hungry. We each have one of these vegetarian cakes, so we can't starve you anymore."

With that said, Yu Yuan gave the plain cake in her hand to Emperor Kangxi. Emperor Kangxi refused at first and was too embarrassed to accept it, but he couldn't bear it anymore after running around all morning, and he was really not full, so he hesitated for a while.

In the end, I still accepted it shamelessly.
