Chapter 48 Chapter 48 What does it matter to you that I worship him?

Naturally, she didn't like being tortured here, but many things couldn't be solved just by leaving.Since Concubine Xi has made it clear that she is not allowed to leave, if she and Gu Xiaochun run away, it will only bring disaster to Gu Xiaochun.Although she is homeless and jobless here, Gu Xiaochun does have one. He has a tailor-made clothing store passed down from his ancestors and a mother. Can he put them all aside? Looking at the simple and innocent Gu Xiaochun, Qingchuan didn't know how to explain all this to him.She shook her head with a wry smile, and said softly: "Forget it, you won't understand if I tell you. Xiaochun, can you leave for a while, I want to be alone for a while."

Seeing Qingchuan's expression, Gu Xiaochun became even more worried, and couldn't help asking: "You don't think about it, do you?" Qing Chuan was startled, and replied with a smile: "How could it be?" Gu Xiaochun looked at Qingchuan seriously, saw that she didn't look like she was lying, so she stood up, "Okay, you should be quiet for a while, whenever you want me to talk with you, you can come to me anytime , I will always wait for you." Qing Chuan nodded gratefully, watching Gu Xiaochun walk away step by step. The lake was quiet again, with a breeze blowing across the lake, the wicker above the head swayed gently, the light and shadow changed, and even the reflection in the lake came alive, the breeze seemed to be able to take away the troubles of the world, feeling all , Qingchuan's heart gradually calmed down, no matter what, there was nothing to escape from what had to be faced, and now that she had reached this situation, she could only persevere through it step by step.

But, mother far away, are you okay?I miss you.Qingchuan lowered her head slowly, buried her face deeply between her knees, let the tears flow wantonly, and let the longing go far away with the wind.Let me once again express my feelings wantonly. From now on, Qingchuan will definitely live even more tenaciously in the emptiness. Sitting until it was getting dark, when the hunters returned, and the camp was bustling again, Qing Chuan stood up from the lake, lightly patted the grass clippings on his body a few times, turned and walked towards the tent. In the tent, Su Yan was also there. Seeing Qing Chuan coming back, he asked anxiously, "Qing Chuan, where have you been? Just now, Mother Jin came to look for you, and Empress Xi is going to take you to meet Sheng I’m driving, but I can’t find you anywhere.”

Qingchuan nodded, listening to the cheers from the crowd from time to time, asked Su Yan, "The emperor has returned from hunting?" Su Yan nodded and said: "Well, the emperor and brothers have returned with a full load, and they are holding a banquet in the big tent!" Just as I was talking, there were maids from other places in the tent next to me who came back from the dinner party and were excitedly discussing what happened at the dinner party. Then I heard one of them say: "Did you see that? Those elder brothers really killed a lot of prey. Together, they are almost as high as a hill!"

Someone at the side said with admiration: "Especially the eighth elder brother, I can't see that he is such a gentle person. He seems to be a different person when he puts on a hunting suit, and he has such a vigorous skill. I think it's amazing." Count him hunting more prey, more than Big Brother, Fourth Brother and the others!" "That's right! I was waiting outside the tent at the time, but I saw it with my own eyes. The emperor praised Eighth Prince for his skill and even rewarded him with a precious bow. I heard from Li Wenda that the bow is filial piety." What the Empress Dowager Zhuang Wen bestowed to the Emperor during her lifetime is the symbol of the Son of Heaven!"

The rest of the people exclaimed in unison, and a little maid lowered her voice and asked, "Is the emperor planning to pass on the crown prince to the eighth elder brother?" As soon as this remark came out, an older man next to the little palace lady hurried forward and covered her mouth, and yelled in a low voice: "Damn you! Do you dare to say this?" Everyone was also silent, and they didn't dare to talk any more, so they dispersed. In the tent, Qing Chuan and Su Yan could hear clearly, Qing Chuan couldn't help asking Su Yan, "Brother Eight is so good at it?"

Su Yan's delicate brows were always slightly frowned, and he snorted lightly when he heard the words, and said, "How can the eighth elder brother compare with the fourth elder brother in skill? This time, he won the first place, and he may not know what method he used. He has been on good terms with Ninth Brother and Tenth Brother, who knows if they will help him!" Qingchuan didn't make a sound. Although she didn't like what Eighth Prince did, she knew that it was wrong to randomly suspect a person without evidence. Seeing Su Yan's indignant look, she couldn't help feeling a little strange, and asked : "Su Yan, do you adore the fourth elder brother?"

Su Yan's expression changed slightly, and he quickly waved his hands and said, "What are you guessing at! I just can't see it. Brother Si is silent and doesn't like to talk, so he will inevitably suffer a little bit." Seeing her nervous reaction, Qing Chuan laughed, "What's wrong with admiration? I adore him too!" That's right, this man is the future Emperor Yongzheng. Would she dare not adore him? Su Yan was very surprised to hear Qing Chuan say this, and asked tentatively: "Do you worship the fourth elder brother?" Qing Chuan was taken aback by her question, but fell silent. Did she really just worship the fourth elder brother?Or is it true that she only thinks about the fourth elder brother because he will become Emperor Yongzheng in the future?Seeing that Su Yan was still waiting for his answer, Qing Chuan hurriedly collected his thoughts, smiled mischievously, and clasped his hands together and said: "I worship all the big men in the palace, the emperor, empress, brother, princess!"

Su Yan couldn't help laughing out loud.Just talking and laughing, suddenly someone outside the tent asked in a low voice: "Is Miss Su Yan there?" Qingchuan and Su Yan were taken aback for a moment, and Su Yan's face changed into a serious and nervous look, and he hurriedly stood up and responded, "Yes, this is it." Then he turned around and confessed in a low voice Qingchuan said, "I have a fellow who serves in Nanyuan. We haven't seen each other for a long time. It's so easy to come out. It happens that I'm not on duty at night. I'll go see him. If someone finds me , help me with a few words."

Qingchuan nodded, "You go." Su Yan lifted the curtain and went out, there was an eunuch in green waiting outside the tent, Su Yan didn't speak, only winked at the eunuch.The eunuch immediately understood, turned around and took Su Yan to a secluded place, and then whispered: "Li Wenda has made arrangements, I will take the girl to the imperial dining room, after the snacks are ready Just hand it over to me." Su Yan hurriedly knelt down and bowed, and asked softly, "Su Yan knows, but I don't know how to call you father-in-law." The eunuch smiled and replied: "Young lady, just call me Xiao Shunzi, let's go there now."

The imperial dining room had already been taken care of by Li Dequan, the chief eunuch of the Qianqing Palace. Xiao Shunzi led Su Yan there, entered a tent that was temporarily used as a kitchen, pointed to the various ingredients on the table and said: It's here, girl, hurry up and do it, I'm afraid it will be used after the emperor's dinner." Su Yan nodded, quickly rolled up his sleeves and cleaned his hands, and got busy. Besides Qingchuan, when the curtain was opening and closing just now, she glanced out inadvertently, and was surprised to see that the eunuch waiting outside looked somewhat familiar.Thinking about it again, isn't that Xiao Shunzi who once helped him in Kunning Palace?He served in front of the imperial court, and he once told her that he was from Xi Concubine's hometown, so why did he become Su Yan's fellow villager again? Qing Chuan was full of doubts, after thinking for a while, he felt that he was too suspicious, or Su Yan's fellow villager asked Xiao Shunzi to ask Xiao Shunzi to inform Su Yan.Thinking of this, Qing Chuan's heart immediately brightened up a lot.She heard someone outside the tent calling her name in a low voice, and when she went out to have a look, it was Gu Xiaochun waiting outside. Gu Xiaochun took out an oil-paper bag from his arms and handed it to Qingchuan: "You haven't eaten yet, right? Here you are." The tentacles of the oiled paper package were warm, Qing Chuan opened it and saw that there were several pieces of freshly roasted meat. Gu Xiaochun smiled sheepishly, and said: "The person from the imperial dining room gave it to me, and said it was freshly baked, so eat it while it's hot." Qing Chuan was a little touched when he saw it, and then wrapped the barbecue and stuffed it to Gu Xiaochun, and said, "You can eat, Empress Xi has everything here, you don't have to worry about me all the time." Unexpectedly, Gu Xiaochun put the paper bag into Qingchuan's hand again.The two of them were giving way, when they suddenly heard a chuckle from the side.The eighth elder brother came slowly from the shadows, and said mockingly: "It's just a few pieces of barbecue, look at how polite you two are." Gu Xiaochun stepped forward cautiously, blocking Qingchuan. The eighth elder brother forced to come here step by step.No matter how daring Gu Xiaochun is, he is also jealous of his elder brother status, so if he dares to fight him head-on, he can only follow his steps and step back little by little.The eighth brother grinned, and suddenly stretched out his hand to pull Gu Xiaochun away, stepped forward to grab Qingchuan's hand, and said, "Let's go, accompany me to the barbecue!" After saying that, Qing Chuan left. When Gu Xiaochun saw that the eighth elder brother pulled Qingchuan away, he was immediately anxious and angry, and rushed towards the eighth elder brother, angrily said: "Let go of Qingchuan!" The eighth elder brother dodged sideways, avoiding Gu Xiaochun, and kicked Gu Xiaochun to the ground. "Xiaochun!" Qingchuan was anxious, struggling hard, turned her head and said angrily: "I won't go, let me go!" Eighth Prince glanced back at her, and said with a half-smile: "The dinner has just ended, and there are many people everywhere. If you are not afraid of being seen, you can let go of your voice. Anyway, I am not afraid." of." Qingchuan was choked by him, and immediately fell silent. This rascal is shameless, but she still has to ask for it. She was flirting with an elder brother, and if people saw it, no one would say anything about elder brother, but would say It was she who was playing tricks to seduce elder brother. Over there, Gu Xiaochun had already got up from the ground, looking at his body in a mess, but it didn't look like he was injured.Qingchuan rolled her eyes, and decided to change the strategy of Huairou, so she softened her voice and said to the eighth elder brother: "Eighth elder brother, let me go, I will go with you, but Xiaochun didn't eat, I have to Take him with you." The eighth elder brother couldn't figure out Qingchuan's mind, so he let go of Qingchuan's hand when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "Let's go together, let's go together, there also happens to be a servant who adds firewood and supplies." Qing Chuan was very displeased when he heard that the eighth elder brother called Gu Xiaochun a slave, but this was not the time to argue with the eighth elder brother, so he suppressed his anger and turned to ask Gu Xiaochun, "You and I Let's go together, okay?" Gu Xiaochun was also worried that Qingchuan would leave alone with the eighth elder brother, so he nodded and said, "I'll go!" The eighth elder brother smiled lightly, and led Qingchuan and Gu Xiaochun to the lake. On the flat grass by the lake, some young eunuchs had already prepared various barbecue items, and the fire had already been set up.The eighth elder brother sat down by the fire casually, and told the few people: "Go down and receive the reward, I don't need you to serve me here." After hearing this, those people hurriedly thanked them and went down. Brother Ba casually patted the stake beside him, raised his head and smiled at Qing Chuan and Gu Xiaochun, who had been standing beside him all the time, and said, "What are you standing there for? Come over and have a barbecue together." Qingchuan couldn't figure out what this eighth elder brother was thinking for a while, seeing that his words were easy-going at the moment, he didn't look like he was going to bully her for fun, but he was a high-ranking elder brother who insisted on pulling her to come What does a barbecue do?Could it be that the eighth elder brother really likes her as Xi Concubine said?As soon as this thought came up, Qingchuan couldn't help shivering, thinking to herself how could this be possible, it might as well be more reliable for her to travel back to modern times. Qingchuan was thinking wildly in her mind, so she didn't come forward.Seeing that she didn't respond, Gu Xiaochun followed suit. Seeing the two of them staying in place, the Eighth Brother over there narrowed his eyes slightly, and shouted: "You can't make it through?" There was already a hint of threat in his tone. Qingchuan came back to her senses immediately, she said, how could such a person like her, he and she are not of the same species at all!Thinking of this, Qing Chuan responded repeatedly: "Come here, come here, come right away!" While speaking, he carefully took two steps towards Eighth Brother, picked a wooden stake and sat down. Brother Ba smiled, and stuffed a wooden stick with skewered meat into Qingchuan's hand, and said: "Then, this is the prey I hunted today, you can roast it for me to eat." Well, this is not one servant, but two servants serving you alone, Qingchuan rolled her eyes secretly, and resignedly started to roast meat for him. Gu Xiaochun sat next to Qingchuan, and secretly said to her: "What is this eighth elder brother going to do?"
