Chapter 169 Interaction
In Kangxi's opinion, the method proposed by Yuying was just a drop in the bucket for the vast number of people, and the effect it could have was really limited. However, looking at Yuying's enthusiastic look and the expectations in her eyes, Kangxi really didn't want to be the bad guy and spoil her fun, so he temporarily put aside his concerns and took the initiative to discuss the feasibility of this matter with Yuying.
Yuying was indeed very happy. Her face was filled with joy that was hard to conceal, and her whole person became lively.
She quickly got up and walked into the study, took paper and pen from the desk, and handed them to Kangxi.
Kangxi held the paper and pen and looked at Yuying hesitantly, as if he did not understand the purpose of her action.
"We can ask the embroiderers to embroider a special pattern on the back of those clothes, and then use this pattern as a symbol, so that people can know that it is produced by the court as soon as they see this pattern."
Yuying meant to let Kangxi design the pattern.
"Of course, it would be most appropriate for Your Majesty to be the one to design this plan." Yu looked at Kangxi with sparkling eyes and spoke only nice and flattering words.
After all, you're asking someone to do something for you, so you have to have the right attitude, right?
But do you think Yuying doesn’t want to design it herself?
It’s really Yuying’s personality. Her greatest strength is that she knows herself well.
It must be said that she had a very clear self-awareness. She could barely recognize the characters when writing with a brush, and even Kangxi, who once vowed to teach her how to write, gave up; not to mention the difficult task of painting with a brush, which could have killed Yuying.
So after handing this task over to Kangxi, Yuying felt completely relieved.
Yuying stretched her head with both hands and looked at Kangxi leisurely. Seeing that Kangxi was holding a pen but did not move for a long time, as if hesitating about something, she raised her chin towards Kangxi, signaling him to hurry up, she was still waiting to see.
I don’t know what Kangxi’s aesthetic taste is like?
Seeing Yuying's nonchalant and carefree look, Kangxi felt his teeth itching. He couldn't help but grind his teeth and stretched out his other hand that didn't hold the pen to touch Yuying's forehead.
Although Kangxi took good care of his hands, he usually rode horses, carried swords and used cloth, so even if he took good care of his hands, his fingertips would still have a thin layer of calluses. So he still accidentally poked Yuying's forehead and left a few small red marks.
But Kangxi only used one point of his strength, so in the final analysis, Yuying's skin was too delicate.
Yuying also followed Kangxi's force, and her whole body seemed to be unable to control herself suddenly, and she couldn't help but fall backwards.
"Hey, hey, hey, Your Majesty, what are you doing!" Yuying leaned back while waving her hands in the air. When she finally caught Kangxi's rebellious hand, Yuying quickly held Kangxi's hand tightly in her hand, as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw.
Kangxi also let her hold him and looked at her teasingly, as if asking her why she didn't continue.
Yuying realized belatedly how childish her behavior was, and her face quickly turned red.
Yuying was indeed acting just now. But! As she was acting, she suddenly lost her balance and fell backwards. She finally grabbed Kangxi's hand and stabilized her body. Otherwise, she would have been embarrassed in front of Kangxi.
Yuying glared at Kangxi. He actually dared to laugh at her.
Kangxi, on the other hand, was not angry even though he was stared at for no reason. His eyes fell on Yuying, and seeing her quirky appearance, the fear and anxiety in his heart, which had arisen from not being able to hear Yuying's inner voice for a long time, finally got some relief at this moment.
Kangxi hadn't heard Yuying's thoughts for more than half a month.
This kind of situation had happened before. After all, he could understand that it was impossible for someone to have endless things to say in his heart all the time. So, when Kangxi couldn't hear Yuying's thoughts after three or five days, he didn't think there was anything wrong.
But! Never before had such a long time passed without him hearing a word from Yuying. Sometimes, Kangxi could clearly see that Yuying was holding back something, but he could not catch those subtle thoughts.
This sudden change made Kangxi feel very uncomfortable.
Over the years, Kangxi had become accustomed to Yuying's voice accompanying him every day. Now that his ears were suddenly silent, he felt empty in his heart.
He even suspected that the ball of light that called itself the "system" had taken back the magical power that it had bestowed upon him.
Kangxi could only guess this, but he always felt uneasy in his heart. In particular, he saw that Yuying had been acting a little strange recently, often frowning and dazed, and even had to call her several times before she would come back to her senses.
But at this moment, looking at Yuying's happy smile, Kangxi comforted himself in his heart, thinking that perhaps he was overthinking it, and Yuying was simply in a bad mood a few days ago.
Kangxi looked at Yuying, and at this moment he thought sincerely that perhaps it was better not to hear Yuying's voice, as Yuying had already helped him a lot.
For a long time, he was worried that the fact that he could hear Yuying's inner thoughts would be exposed one day. Then, how would he face Yuying?
He didn't dare to think about it, and was afraid to face Yuying who had learned the truth at that time.
Because no one wants to let another person hear his inner voice. If his inner voice is exposed to another person, he will definitely want to kill that person.
Kangxi suppressed the thoughts in his mind.
"Okay, I won't bother you anymore." Kangxi no longer hesitated, and in just a few strokes, he sketched a pattern on the paper. Then he put the pen aside and motioned Yuying to come over and take a look. What do you think?
"Aying, take a look. Is this idea feasible?"
Yuying sat up slowly, she got up from the couch, she moved to Kangxi's side, her body close to his, her head touching his, they both looked at the rice paper on the table.
Then, Yuying looked at Kangxi with a complicated expression. She recognized what Kangxi had drawn on the paper at a glance.
I don’t know whether to say that she has a good memory or that Kangxi has a good memory.
It's not wrong to say that she has a good memory. After all, it's been several years since this happened, and she can still recognize what Kangxi painted at a glance; it's also right to say that Kangxi has a good memory. There were so many patterns to choose from, but Kangxi chose this one.
What Kangxi painted was the Q-version dragon embroidered on the sachet that he asked Yuying to embroider for him during the Dragon Boat Festival a few years ago.
Kangxi was not only good at calligraphy, but also good at painting. With just a few strokes, he was able to depict the charm of the cute little dragon.
It still has short limbs and a chubby body and head.
However, the reason why Kangxi remembered it so clearly might be that Yuying was unwilling to embroider another sachet for him later.
Kangxi treasured it so much that he would only take it out and hang it around his waist around the Dragon Boat Festival every year. Normally, it was kept carefully on the shelf in the study of the Qianqing Palace, in a box. He would not even allow Yuying to touch it.
So every year, Kangxi, who was wearing a dragon robe, hung a strange creature around his waist. The ministers in the court saw it, the concubines in the harem saw it, and even Yinreng and others saw it.
Even Kangxi was ridiculed by Yin, who was still young at the time.
When Yuying thought of this, she felt a black screen in front of her eyes.
What? Did Kangxi think that it was not enough for her to lose face in the entire palace, and he wanted her to lose face all over the country?
Yuying would go crazy whenever she thought about someone walking around the street wearing clothes embroidered with these weird things.
No, we have to make Kangxi give up the idea of using this weird creature as a logo.
"Your Majesty, do you think this is appropriate? Is it really appropriate?" Yuying emphasized it twice, gritting her teeth, and she wanted to shake Kangxi to find out what was going on in his mind.
"Hmm? Ah Ying, do you think it's inappropriate?" Kangxi picked up the rice paper and looked at it carefully. "Why do I think it's perfect?"
Where does it fit? Not at all!
"Your Majesty! This is a dragon! How can you use a dragon indiscriminately?" Yuying hoped to use this as an excuse to dissuade Kangxi from this unreliable idea.
After all, as an emperor, wouldn't he be very taboo about dragons? Even if it looks weird, it's still a dragon!
Kangxi looked at Yuying with a serious face, as if she would fight him to death if he disagreed with her, so Kangxi tried hard to hold back his laughter. But although Kangxi held back his laughter, his eyes did not.
He "accidentally" let the smile show from his eyes.
"Your Majesty!" Yuying was furious, her voice full of indignation! She stared at Kangxi, as if Kangxi had done something unforgivable.
"Alright, alright, don't be angry, Ah Ying." After teasing her enough, Kangxi slowly stroked Yu Ying's fur, "Listen to what I have to say."
Kangxi said seriously: "I have thought about it. If we embroider words, there are many people who are illiterate, so the words will not play the role we want. So we can only choose to embroider some patterns, and the patterns must be unique enough, but not too complicated, otherwise the embroiderers will have to spend a lot of time to embroider them."
Yuying listened to Kangxi quietly. Why did Kangxi have to talk about this pattern?
Yuying looked at Kangxi suspiciously, with deep distrust in her eyes.
Kangxi continued, "As for the dragon? Although the dragon has been a symbol of the emperor since ancient times, embroidering it on these clothes shows that they are specially provided by the royal family. It also lets the people know that I have a concubine who cares about the people of the world."
Kangxi's tone was sincere, and it was clear that he really thought so. At the end, Kangxi couldn't help but reach out and hug Yuying in his arms, "I am so lucky to have a concubine like Yuying."
Kangxi didn't know how many times he had said this to her, and Yuying was tired of hearing it. It was Kangxi's blessing to have her.
Yuying had a smug look on her face, like a proud kitten.
Kangxi's heart softened, "What do you think, Aying?"
The complacency on Yuying's face disappeared, replaced by hesitation. But in fact, she had been convinced by Kangxi in her heart, but she was still a little embarrassed and stubborn.
So Kangxi added fuel to the fire and completely convinced Yuying.
"Besides, I can't think of anything better right now. If Ying has a better choice, we can change it. But if we can confirm it earlier, it will also allow the people to get these clothes sooner, right?"
Kangxi gave the choice to Yuying.
Yuying's brows relaxed and tightened, tightened and relaxed. Her changing expression was just like her inner struggle, but in the end she gritted her teeth, closed her eyes and agreed to use this strange thing to distinguish such a special dress from ordinary clothes.
The pattern was confirmed, and the next step was to report the matter back to the palace. First, the old clothes of the concubines and the princes and princesses that were no longer in use should be collected, and then the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the embroidery workshop should be notified to dispatch embroiderers to embroider this cute little dragon on these clothes.
Kangxi had already given the Phoenix Seal to Yuying, and Yuying also brought the Phoenix Seal to Changchun Garden. There was no need for Kangxi to personally issue an imperial decree for such a matter, so Yuying came out of Kangxi's arms, turned around and went to the study, and took out the Phoenix Seal from the shelf.
Spreading out the blank imperial edict, Yuying picked up the pen and wrote a few lines slowly and carefully. Not long after, Yuying finished writing the imperial edict. But she seemed not satisfied enough, so she gave it to Kangxi and asked him to take a look at it for her to see if it could be polished. Only when Kangxi said there was no problem did she solemnly stamp the phoenix seal on it.
Yuying is in Changchun Garden, and the concubines and her old clothes are all in the palace. Someone must bring the imperial edict back to the palace, and this person may even need to stay in the palace to keep an eye on things.
Qingtao is definitely not an option.
Yuying excluded Qingtao first. Although Qingtao was the person she trusted the most, she really couldn't let Qingtao do this matter.
So, Yuying arranged for the calmest Lu Chen to bring the imperial edict back to the palace. She was responsible for explaining the imperial edict to the concubines in the palace and also cleaning out her wardrobe. She probably had a lot of clothes that she didn't wear or couldn't wear anymore, but she just couldn't bear to throw them away. Now she can finally use them.
Yuying didn't think it was a pity. After all, it didn't matter who wore it. As long as it could help others, it was enough.
Yuying called her three maids to come over. Her eyes swept across the three of them and finally stopped on Lu Chen.
"Lu Chen, pack up and go back to the palace today."
Afraid that Lu Chen would misunderstand, he specifically explained the purpose of asking her to go back.
Qingtao, Qingdai and Luchen looked at Yuying in surprise.
They really didn't expect that their queen would come up with such an idea in such a short period of time.
Seeing Lu Chen was rarely stunned, Qingdai beside her pushed her, indicating that she should hurry up and agree.
Lu came back to her senses. She raised her head with red eyes and promised Yuying solemnly: "Yes! Madam, I will definitely take care of this for you!"
