Chapter 43 Chapter 43 I'll Take You Away!

Qing Chuan was taken aback for a moment, and after a moment of silence, he replied, "No, thank you, Brother Si, for your concern." The fourth elder brother didn't speak, and there was silence between the two of them again. Qingchuan was so oppressed by this dullness, so he had to find a topic at random and said: "I heard that the fourth elder brother has won the emperor's praise recently, and the fourth elder brother must be very happy." Bar?" The fourth elder brother stopped when he heard this, turned around to look at Qingchuan, and asked, "Do you know what happiness is?"

Qingchuan was taken aback by the question, thought for a while and replied, "It's the happiness of the moment." The fourth elder brother shook his head slowly, and said slowly and firmly: "No, no, I don't think so, I think the happiness is the dawn, and you see a road waiting for you from a distance. , and sooner or later you will step on that road.” He just said this, Qingchuan already understood his ambition and ambition, secretly thought that you are the future Emperor Yongzheng, naturally you will set foot on that road sooner or later.The fourth elder brother saw that Qingchuan was silent all the time, so he asked again: "What are you thinking?"

"Huh?" Qing Chuan quickly regained her concentration, smiled lightly, and replied: "It's nothing, I just think that Brother Si's wish will definitely come true." The fourth elder brother stared at Qingchuan and asked, "Really?" Qingchuan nodded vigorously, because in that history, sooner or later, he would ascend to the throne and become Emperor Yongzheng.Seeing her nodding vigorously like this, the fourth prince swept away the gloomy look on his face, and couldn't help but smile, reached out and took the lantern in Qingchuan's hand, lowered his head, blew out the candle inside, and returned it to her hand, Then he smiled and said, "I feel the same way, even if there are no lights to illuminate the road, I can still walk all the way forward with great strides."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked forward with big strides. When he was about to leave the palace gate, he suddenly turned around and shouted: "Qingchuan, I am very happy to talk to you. If I am sad, would you still want to talk to me?" ?” Seeing Qingchuan nodded, he smiled softly again, turned and left.Qingchuan stood there, watching his back disappear into the corridor.It turned out that even as strong and cold as him, there would be times when he would be sad and weak. Something in Qingchuan's heart suddenly became inexplicably sour. She stood quietly for a long time before she came back to her senses, and she wailed in her heart, ah, this is the future emperor, why Mao just nodded, why Mao didn't Take the opportunity to express her loyalty quickly, with him covering her in the future, she still doesn't have to be afraid of the eighth and ninth elder brothers!

oops!Qingchuan, Qingchuan, you lost the chain at the critical moment! Qing Chuan couldn't help shaking his head, laughed at himself, and found out that the lantern had also been blown out by the future Emperor, well, there's no other way, let's go back in the dark! Back at Ganxi No. 4 House, the maids in the same room had already rested. Seeing Qingchuan returning late, Xinlian still taunted her a few times in a strange way. Qingchuan was used to it and ignored her. , just do your own thing silently.After a while, I heard Jin Momo scolding Xinlian outside the house: "It's so late and you don't want to sleep, do you want to sleep? Then get up and go to work!"

The few people in the room were so frightened that they quickly fell silent, and then they heard Grandma Jin calling Qing Chuan: "Qing Chuan, come out for a while." Qing Chuan didn't know what she wanted to do with him. Ever since Xi Concubine got angry because of the clothes that day, Qing Chuan had been very careful, for fear that she would catch him again and harm him.Hearing her calling me, he quickly put on his clothes again and went out, and asked respectfully, "What do you want me to do?" Nanny Jin took a few steps to the side, and then said in a low voice: "Qingchuan, I couldn't help myself about what happened that day. The empress's clothes were torn and she lost face in front of the emperor. She was very angry. As a Chu Xiu Aunts in the palace, of course, have to take care of you maids first, so I can only put the responsibility on the man who made the clothes, I don't know that you and that man are old acquaintances, don't be jealous of me."

Qingchuan knew that he still had to work under her, so he could only pretend to be confused about this matter, so he hurriedly said: "What is this mother talking about? Chengmao takes care of you, how could you hate Madam?" Nanny Jin just smiled, "It's good if you can think like this, go and rest quickly, you will be on duty tomorrow." Qingchuan nodded, turned and went back to the room.Although Nanny Jin came to explain what happened that day to her tonight, she didn't dare to be careless at all. In this palace, it seemed that everyone was wearing a mask to live their lives. When the mask was lifted, who would know the truth underneath? Or fake?

Qing Chuan was not unreasonable to be worried. As expected, within two days, she was obviously not on duty, but Nanny Jin asked her to go and serve Xi Concubine.Qingchuan was secretly surprised, and then heard the little palace maid Ping'er who came to pass the message remind her: "Your Majesty is not feeling well, she is getting angry, you should be more careful when serving." Qingchuan nodded hurriedly, thanked Ping'er, and went to Chuxiu Palace with caution, and as soon as she entered the palace gate, she saw Concubine Xi strolling back and forth in the yard supported by Nanny Jin.Seeing Qing Chuan coming, Jin Momo hurriedly told her: "What are you still doing in a daze? Hurry up and make a cup of tea for your mother!"

Qingchuan didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly went to the side hall to make tea. When the tea came out, she just heard Golden Mama whispering softly to Concubine Xi, "Madam, the imperial doctor said that you have eaten something that is difficult to overcome. If you accumulate food, you can walk more." Concubine Xi said angrily: "These people in the imperial dining room are really too much, they have nothing to do to feed this palace something intractable, you see, it made this palace so uncomfortable, later I pulled them all out and chopped them up. " Seeing that Xi Concubine was in a rage, Qing Chuan didn't dare to speak, and hurriedly brought the tea over.Xi Concubine took a sip from the teacup, but her complexion changed, she threw the teacup on the ground with her hands, and cursed: "What kind of brew is this? It tastes so bad, you don't feel bad enough looking at me, do you?"

Qing Chuan was startled, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the flash of gloating on Nanny Jin's face, and immediately understood in his heart that this was again Nanny Jin's deliberate trickery, so he quickly knelt down on the ground and shouted: "Your Majesty, please calm down! Why don't you think of a way to make the empress more comfortable." Xi Concubine's face was still covered with anger, but she asked suspiciously: "Do you have a solution?" Qingchuan nodded, glanced at Nanny Jin, stepped forward to help Xi Concubine sit down on the chair, and while taking off her shoes and socks, said in a soft voice: "When I was at home, my mother also had an upset stomach. Well, this servant has tried this, and it is very effective."

As he said that, he imitated the foot therapist and began to massage Xi Concubine's feet.After a while, Qing Chuan carefully asked Xi Concubine, "Your Majesty, do you feel better now?" Concubine Xi rubbed her abdomen to feel it, and wondered, "Huh? Really, it's not that uncomfortable anymore." Qingchuan continued to massage the soles of her feet, and said: "There are many acupuncture points on the soles of the feet, and each acupuncture point is connected to the internal organs. If you press more, it can not only eliminate many diseases, but also strengthen your body." After hearing this, Xi Concubine's heart moved, and after a moment of silence, she suddenly asked Qingchuan, "Really? Then if you do it for the emperor, what do you think will happen?" Qing Chuan paused, but before she could speak, she heard Xi Concubine whispering to herself again: "This matter needs to be carefully considered, the emperor is still angry with me, if I go so recklessly, Not only can’t you please the emperor, you might even be reprimanded by him.” Concubine Xi bit her lower lip lightly, and after thinking for a moment, she suddenly ordered: "Nurse Jin, you go to Qianqing Palace immediately, no matter what method you use, you must invite Li Dequan to come to Chuxiu Palace!" Nanny Jin responded and turned to leave.Concubine Xi stopped her suddenly, hesitated for a while, and said, "If you don't see Li Dequan, you can go to Xiao Shunzi who is serving in front of the imperial court first, and ask him to help." Xiao Shunzi?The handsome young eunuch flashed before Qingchuan's eyes. Last time she was framed by Xinlian and strayed into Kunning Palace, he was the one who saved her, and he also said that he helped her because he and Concubine Xi were fellow villagers. Nanny Jin replied: "Your servant understands." When she turned around and was about to leave, she gave Qing Chuan a bitter look. Qing Chuan couldn't help crying secretly, it's over, she offended Nanny Jin again, but she didn't expect that Xi Concubine would use this to fight for favor.Moreover, if Nanny Jin hadn't thought of harming her first and deliberately asked her to come and serve Xi Concubine when she was angry, how could she have thought of using foot massage to save her life! Concubine Xi didn't know that Qing Chuan had thought so much in her mind, so she just praised her: "Qing Chuan, you are indeed very useful. If I can take this opportunity to clear up the misunderstanding with the Emperor, I will definitely reward you well." Qing Chuan thanked her, but she secretly thought in her heart that you don't want to reward me anymore. Now that Nanny Jin is guarding against me like this, she is afraid that I will steal her seat, and if you reward me again, she will not eat me?Forget it, forget it, I'd better find a chance to confess my love to Nanny Jin, I don't have any ambition to be a palace maid. I don't know how Concubine Xi managed it, but on the second night, Kangxi really came to Chuxiu Palace! Concubine Xi had been prepared for a long time and was teaching a foot massage class in the courtyard with a group of female eunuchs. Kangxi brought Li Dequan and the eunuchs in. Concubine Xi had superb acting skills, and immediately showed surprise and pleasant surprise on her face. With a look on his face, he knelt down and accepted the holy driver. Kangxi then asked with a smile: "Why would Aifei think of studying these methods?" Concubine Xi said coquettishly with a shy face: "I heard that the emperor is busy with government affairs, so I can't sleep well. Although the tranquilizing incense last time can help the emperor sleep, after all, the tranquilizing incense contains medicine. I worry about using it for a long time. It will affect the emperor, the emperor has been busy with political affairs, and the concubines naturally have to care about the emperor's dragon body, so the concubines read a lot of medical books, thought of this method, and hope that it can help the emperor's body without medicine." Kangxi was quite moved when he heard the words, and asked again: "It's rare that you have the heart, why don't you go and do it for me yourself?" Concubine Xi lowered her head lightly, and replied with some grievances: "The last time the emperor left the concubines, the concubines were afraid that the emperor would offend the concubines and dare not make him angry again, so they let them do it for the emperor. Now It's nothing else, I'm afraid that if they use their strength improperly, it will make the emperor suffer, and my concubine has been worried about this for a long time." Kangxi was silent for a moment, then sighed, and said: "You mentioned the prince just after the accident last time, and I couldn't help feeling uncomfortable, but thinking about it carefully, maybe I was too sensitive. My concubine didn't have anything to say, how could it be?" What about forming a party for personal gain and plotting against others?" Concubine Xi had been looking forward to Kangxi's words, sobbed a few times in aggrieved manner, and said gratefully: "The emperor is clearly aware." Seeing her like this, Kangxi coaxed her softly, and stayed in Chuxiu Palace that night.Ever since Xi Concubine was snubbed by Kangxi for asking about the prince, Xi Concubine's temper has become much more irritable, and everyone served her carefully. On the second day, Concubine Xi generously rewarded the people around her, especially Qingchuan's rewards were generous. Qing Chuan looked at the jewels and brocades, but didn't feel very happy. He only felt that the gaze piercing his back seemed to be sharper again, and he even felt a little dizzy with his head, alas!Concubine Xi is not rewarding her, she is clearly making enemies for her! Seeing her expression, Su Yan already guessed Qingchuan's concerns, and said in a low voice: "You are now favored by Empress Xi, some people in this yard are envious, some are jealous, and they can't wait to see you sooner. If you lose momentum and step on your feet, you have to be more careful in what you do, and don't let anyone catch you wrong." Qing Chuan nodded, while the two were talking, Wan Yue came in from outside the house with a strange expression, with the corners of his mouth lightly pulled, and shouted: "Qing Chuan, someone is looking for you outside!" In this palace, who would look for her?Qingchuan felt strange, although she was a little dizzy, she still managed to get up and go out the door.Standing in the courtyard was a tall and thin young eunuch in Tsing Yi, with his head lowered, when he saw Qing Chuan coming out, he quickly raised his head, and shouted in a low voice: "Qing Chuan!" When Qingchuan saw his face clearly, she couldn't help being startled, and cried out: "Xiaochun!"
