Chapter 53 Chapter Eleven Bright Yellow
"Qiang'er, show your mother a smile", I gently waved the small rattle drum, and the drum hammer swinging from side to side made a tinkling sound, which caused the little baby on the kang to stretch out his arms, thinking hard To touch the shaking object.Her small mouth was slightly opened, and she was babbling without knowing what to say, only her bare and soft gums were exposed, and a pair of clear black eyes that were so familiar were full of pure joy.
I couldn't help stretching out my hand, touching the tender skin of a baby, but she grabbed my index finger, "Hehe", I laughed lightly, and started a tug-of-war with her with my fingers. Although the baby is small, it is quite strong, holding my fingers tightly.
"Qiang'er, you are not big, but you are very strong, just like your Ama...", "Of course, it doesn't matter whose daughter it is", a loud laugh sounded behind me, and I turned around , I don't know when Yinxiang came back, standing at the door with a smile on his face, Qin Shun'er was helping him unbutton his coat.
Yinxiang waited a little impatiently, stretched out his hand and pulled the neckline, an enamel stud broke out from the neckline, landed on the water mill and bounced a few times, making a few crisp sounds.Qiang'er stopped tug-of-war with me, and turned her head to look at the ground. Yinxiang had strode up, pressed past me, lowered her head and kissed her daughter's face, "My dear Qiang'er, give Ama kiss", a cold and fresh air unique to the outdoors floated through my nose.
Qiang'er let go of my fingers, and stretched out her hands to touch her father's face instead. The baby's nails were very sharp, but Yinxiang didn't care, and kept blowing hot air on her fingers, suddenly He put his lips around her finger again, pretending to swallow it, but Qiang'er was so excited that she let out a shrill smile.
I smiled and shook my head, "Master, here it is", Xiao Taoer walked up with a smile, and looked at me, her eyes were also full of amused, she handed me an official kiln hand stove, hot .I nodded with a smile, and turned my hand to put the stove into the hands of the father who only saw his precious daughter. Yinxiang opened his hand and held it, warming his hands while constantly teasing the child.
I sat back, leaned on the big pillow, picked up the little padded jacket that I hadn’t finished in the morning, sewed the cuffs stitch by stitch, and learned to sew clothes. greatest achievement of the year.The charcoal stove in the house crackled from time to time, and the daffodils on the window sill were in full bloom, and the delicate fragrance dyed every corner of the house lightly.
Looking at Yinxiang teasing with her daughter full of joy, I couldn't help but smile. Since Qiang'er came to this world, the love she enjoys is probably something that all the girls in the royal family can't get Yes, because she has a father who loves her wholeheartedly regardless of gender.
Although it was almost a miracle to be able to conceive this child, the process of my pregnancy went very smoothly without any adverse reactions, and I went through this relatively difficult process for women very easily.But Yinxiang's tense nerves did not relax until he saw the smiling face of me and the child lying side by side. I still remember that his broad arms covered Qiang'er and me at that time, it was so light and so The tightness...
"What are you thinking, laughing like this, um" Yinxiang came over at some point, and wrapped me around with one hand, while holding my needle-holding wrist with the other hand, apparently seeing that I was absent-minded The appearance was afraid of scaring me, and I accidentally pricked my own finger again.But the child was lying quietly behind him, obviously a little tired after tossing around for a while, Yinxiang had already covered her tightly with the little quilt.
A burst of heartwarming warmth overflowed my chest, I couldn't help raising my head, leaned over and kissed his face lightly, and said with a smile, "It's nothing, I'm just thinking wildly."Yin Xiang narrowed his eyes with a smile, stretched out his hand to touch his cheek, pretended to be lustful, and said with a smile, "It's good to think wildly."
"Chi" I lowered my eyes and chuckled, the corners of my mouth turned up again uncontrollably, my eyes darkened, Yinxiang lowered his head and pressed his forehead against mine.I couldn't help raising my eyes to look at him, those eyes that were always shining, but at this moment they were as quiet as a midsummer night, for a moment I felt the soft and warm night wind blowing through my heart...
"Uh huh", there was a clear cough that was clearly measured, I reached out to cover Yinxiang's lips that were only three inches away from mine, a burst of dissatisfaction slipped through his eyes, I smiled and glared at him.Looking over his shoulder, Xiao Tao'er was standing by the door, with a somewhat embarrassed expression on her face, but it was not because of what she saw, but because of something she interrupted.
I feel powerless for a while, I guess the slaves in this mansion are already used to "passionate" between Yinxiang and me from time to time, and learning to cough in a moderate and timely manner is no longer Qin Shun'er's patent. "Fujin, it's time for little Gege to nurse. The nanny is waiting, and the maidservant is here to hug Gege." Xiao Taoer said respectfully, "Yes." I nodded, "Go, she's a little sleepy. If you really can't open your eyes, you can wait a while." It's okay to eat again." Xiao Tao'er smiled, "Yes, the servant knows." She walked over and picked up the child very carefully, and blessed us, then turned and walked to the side room.
"Why did you come back so early today?" I gently broke away from Yinxiang's arms, went to the desk beside me, and poured him a cup of tea.Yinxiang turned around and leaned against the pillow I was leaning on just now, took the hot tea with one hand and stroked his shaved scalp with the other.
"In two days, it will be the emperor's sixty-fifth birthday banquet. This time, I will make a big fuss. Mynah and the others are also gearing up to show their face in front of the old man and make this banquet beautiful." ", Yinxiang said while drinking tea, but he didn't know if it was because the water was hot or something else, he frowned.
"Oh" I responded in vain, and reached out to reach the little padded jacket that was placed on the side of the kang just now and continued to sew, "Humph" Yinxiang sneered, "But it seems that it's not that easy", I couldn't help it Glancing at him, he drank the leftover tea in the cup, and played with the teacup with his fingers again, with a pensive look on his face, I lowered my eyelashes and said nothing, the room suddenly became quiet .
Looking at the embroidery thread slowly pulled out from the cloth, the historical memory flooded in my mind like a tide...Is it Kangxi's 65th birthday? The greatest emperor of the Qing Dynasty will also be no match for the natural laws of human beings, and he will go west.
Last year, the Zhungeer tribe in western Xinjiang launched a large-scale attack on Qinghai, burned and looted, killed Meng Khan, and imprisoned the great lama. Emperor Kangxi was furious when he got the news, and immediately sent a large army into Qinghai to quell the chaos.If I remember correctly, the suppression of chaos this time will end in failure, and the entire army will be annihilated. Then there will be the great general king --- Yinti... I sighed in my heart, if I hadn't seized the military power, Will the fourteenth elder brother still be so angry at the loss of the throne...
"Xiaowei, Xiao..." Yinxiang called me softly, "ah" I looked up, "what's the matter", Yinxiang smiled, "You, you didn't hear what I said, did you?" He was helpless Shaking my head, obviously helpless with my habit of wandering into space from time to time, my face became hot, "What did you say, was it very long, and it will be very tiring to repeat it"?
"Chi" Yinxiang let out a laugh, and shook his head in a funny way, "That's not true, huh", he cleared his throat, and although he smiled, he said with a bit of seriousness, "This time's birthday Yan, the emperor asked you to attend, and he also took our Qiang'er to show the old man." He paused, and then said, "The hundred days of Qiang'er are coming soon. I plan to give her a good life."
"Well", I nodded subconsciously. Regarding Qiang'er's birth, I announced to the public that I was born prematurely because of my poor health, and the baby was weak. Concubine De also specially ordered people to go to Tanzhe Temple to burn incense and fulfill her vows, saying that she was grateful to God. God bless, let our mother and daughter be safe, and use this reason to prevent others from visiting and congratulating us.I remember when Yinxiang came back and learned from me. We went to see the white and fat daughter who could eat and sleep at the same time. Look weak.
Then why did Emperor Kangxi want to see this child? Naturally, the emperor allowed Defei to come and manage Qiang'er's hundred days.For a whole year, I never left Shisan Baylor's Mansion for a single step. Concubine De kept sending people various rewards, and Nala and the others never showed up again, but people came to see me every month. There were also constant gifts, and that person was Niu Hulu.
As for Minghui, I only occasionally heard from Yinxiang that she had a boy, and although Elder Fourteen was happy, he didn’t lack a son, and he didn’t seem to make any arrangements. He just invited his relatives and friends to dinner, Yinxiang and fourth master are naturally among them.
"The child is fine, but this mother's complexion is a little bit bad", I remember Yinxiang said this when he came back from the banquet. After that, Yinxiang felt disgusted with Minghui in his heart, and he didn't want to More to say, I naturally will not ask.After that contact, I knew that she was a woman who was weak on the outside but extremely tough on the inside. She was naturally capable of guarding her own territory, so she didn't need others to worry about her.
"Don't think too much, the emperor naturally has his intentions, if Huang Ama really wanted something, you would have already..." Yinxiang said in a low voice, his face was also a little bad, obviously thinking that he If Huang Ama treats me in any way, then I will...
I was about to speak to comfort, Yinxiang had turned his face, "Okay, don't talk about this, think about it later, what we use to make progress, it doesn't have to be rare treasures, the emperor has seen a lot, It’s better to think of something unique.” I smiled, “Okay, then let me think about it for a couple of days, and then I’ll discuss it with you.”Yinxiang suddenly held my hand and was about to speak, when there was a sudden "wow" and crying in the opposite room, Yinxiang and I looked at each other and smiled, without saying anything, we got up and walked to the side room together.
"It turns out that there are so many colorful flowers and reds blooming all over the place..." I muttered, looking at the night scene of fiery trees and silver flowers in front of me, I suddenly remembered that sentence I saw in the red building.It's still at the end of winter, but there are thousands of purples and reds blooming in front of my eyes. Probably only the royal family and nobles have such financial resources to own these beautiful scenery that are not common in summer, but how long can this last...
"Sister, what are you talking about?" Niu Hulu asked with a smile. She was holding Qiang'er tightly in her arms. She glanced at me, then lowered her head to tease the child.When I smiled, I suddenly felt my hand tighten. I looked down and saw a pair of dark eyes staring at me, but my small hand firmly held mine.
I smiled at him, and he turned his face away to watch Niu Hulu tease his children, the fourth elder brother—Hongli, the future Emperor Qianlong.Regardless of whether he will become the extravagant and lustful Qianlong in the future, he is a well-educated, intelligent and considerate child in front of him.The most special thing is that a seven-year-old child has such calm eyes. I don't know if this is one of the reasons why Emperor Kangxi appreciates him.
Today is the 18th day of the third lunar month, the 65th birthday of Emperor Kangxi, and I am heading for the Forbidden City in the same car as Mrs. Niu Hulu.Mrs. Niu Hulu knew that I didn't like excitement, and his own existence was quite special, so he ran over specially and chose a time when there were few people to enter the palace with me.
If a person has no friends, life must be very painful. Family affection, love, and friendship should be indispensable to a complete person.I have always been grateful for Niu Hulu's inexpressiveness towards me but her persistence in communicating with me. I have always thought that maybe it was this quality that allowed her to have such a good death. Wealthy empress dowager.
"Today's birthday banquet seems to be held at the Qingyin Pavilion. I heard that the emperor personally twirled the show in front of the gods and Buddhas. Let's follow Lele and get a little bit of the emperor's blessing." Niu Hulu laughed Then he said to me, "Yes", I replied, and then asked, "Then we have to go to your mother's place first." Niu Hulu nodded, "Yes, let's go show it to my mother first, and see the master. How should I put it, anyway, today is the emperor's little granddaughter who wants to see him", she lowered her head and coaxed Qiang'er again, "Look at our Qiang'er, she looks so handsome, she must be a beauty when she grows up, Hongli, what do you say Isn't it?" The little boy carefully looked up and down, nodded solemnly, and Niu Hulu and I smiled at the same time.
The carriage went straight to Changchun Palace unimpeded all the way, and it entered the narrow road, but stopped suddenly. Mrs. Niu Hulu and I looked at each other, and then heard a eunuch's voice outside, "Two Fujins Master De specially ordered the slaves to wait here, the empress has gone to the Qingyin Pavilion with Si Fujin, Fourteen Fujins and all the side Fujins, please come with the slaves for the two Fujins."
"Understood, let's go", Niu Hulu responded, "cha", "Come on, this way", the eunuch responded, and the carriage rolled forward again.After a while, I heard the faint sound of silk and bamboo, and when we reached the side door, a little eunuch had already come to the door, put the pedals on, and waited for us to get out of the carriage.
"Sister, let's..." Just as Niu Hulu opened his mouth, a person suddenly appeared from the door. We were startled, and we saw through the shadow of the lamp that it was Li Dequan, the eunuch. I couldn't help being startled. "Slave pays respects to the two Fujins." He was about to beat him down for a thousand sons. Niu Hulu hurriedly stretched out his hands to help, "Eunuch Li doesn't need to be polite, he is tired of serving the emperor." Li Dequan took advantage of the situation and stood up straight. He humbly said a few words about what this is the duty of a slave.
As soon as the voice changed, he laughed again and said, "Cai Fujin, Master De and the others are all talking in Wanzilou, and I will let someone take you there." Thirteen Fujin, please bring Little Gege and your slaves."
I nodded, turned my head and said with a smile to Mrs. Niu Hulu, "Sister, you go there first, I'll be here in a while, help me and my mother."Niu Hulu nodded, didn't ask anything, just handed Qiang'er over carefully, then stretched out his hand to hold Hongli, followed a little eunuch to the side door, I watched her go in.
"Then you come with me", Li Dequan said softly, I helped Qiang'er cover up the little quilt that wrapped her, and then said with a smile, "Please lead the way", Li Dequan did not dare to speak, and turned around He led me into the side door as well, but walked a different way.After a short walk, they came to a small courtyard with the words "Ting Li" written on it, but Li Dequan didn't stop, and walked a little further, a corner door was exposed, and there were two eunuchs guarding the door. We came over and hurriedly opened the door to let us in.
After walking along a small corridor for a short distance, the main room under the flickering lights was exposed, but Li Dequan suddenly stopped in his tracks. I was startled and hurriedly stopped.His face was a bit suspicious. I followed his gaze and couldn't help being shocked. The third master, the fourth master, Yin Xiang, the eighth master, and the fourteenth elder brother were all standing in the middle of the yard, standing with their hands down. .
"Fu Jin, please wait here, the slave will report it", Li Dequan said in a hurry, and before I could answer, he quickened his pace and walked to the main room.When the third master and the others heard footsteps, they all looked this way. I was hidden in the shadows, and no one noticed for a while. Their eyes were all on Li Dequan.
Li Dequan hurriedly called Qianer, and was about to enter the door, a little eunuch came over and whispered something in his ear, Li Dequan looked a little surprised, he frowned and thought about it, and quickly talked to that The little eunuch opened the curtain and went in after saying something.
I couldn't help but feel a little strange, but since Ba Ye and the others were all there, I didn't want to show my appearance and cause trouble. I was thinking about whether to hide behind again, when a figure walked over lightly and quickly, I took a closer look Look, it was the little eunuch who stopped Li Dequan just now, and he didn't know where he came around.
He walked up to me quickly, slapped Qian'er, and said in a low voice, "Fu Jin, Director Li asked you to come with the servants first." During this period of time, something big must have happened. I guess the emperor is not in the mood to see us today...
I just turned around and walked out with the little eunuch, when I heard a loud "crash" in the room, as if something was kicked down, I was startled, Qiang'er in my arms also trembled and thought Crying, I was so busy that I covered her mouth lightly and comforted her in a low voice.
"Okay, when do you still want to hide from me, the whole army was wiped out, and only six people came back, okay, okay..." Emperor Kangxi's roar was trembling, obviously out of breath... I turned around abruptly Turning around, I looked at the group of elder brothers with different expressions in the courtyard... Qinghai was defeated, the fourteenth elder brother was about to go to war, and everything in front of him was developing according to the trajectory of history.
"Alas...", I couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, for the bright yellow seat, the most tragic competition has finally begun...
"Woo...", maybe children are the most sensitive to the surrounding atmosphere, Qiang'er in my arms finally couldn't help it, and sobbed, although the voice was soft, but here even the sound of breathing is barely audible In the courtyard, the sound was very clear. The elder brothers who had different expressions in the courtyard all raised their heads and looked at me.
I tried my best to lower my voice to coax the child, Qiang'er looked at me with her black eyes open, she didn't cry loudly, but her body twisted restlessly, although I was anxious, I still smiled and comforted She, Qiang'er gradually lost her voice, her eyes rolled, and she became interested in the things around her, I let out a sigh of relief.
"Fu Jin", seeing the child calm down, the little eunuch who was anxious by Qiang'er's crying hurried over and called me in a low voice, "Look, shall we go first, Xu is the little eunuch. Gege only cried when it was cold, but it was warmer in the side room over there."
I nodded, this little eunuch is very clever, it seems to be Li Dequan's confidant, "Please lead the way", the little eunuch hurriedly said "Don't dare", bowing his waist, he was about to lead me to the place where my first son came on the road. "Who's there, give me..." There was a shout, and I stopped, the little eunuch was startled, subconsciously stopped, and looked back into the yard.
Qiang'er in my arms shivered a bit, apparently startled by the roar, I hurriedly shook her lightly, but couldn't help frowning, Master Shi, what is the name of the ghost at night... Ten Grandpa's voice suddenly dropped, and Grandpa Ba's low voice scolded him faintly, but he couldn't hear what he was going to say. He only heard Master Shi muttering in a low voice, "There must be someone there."
I was about to tell the little eunuch not to worry about him, just walk quickly, when I heard a sudden silence behind me, but the little eunuch in front of me lowered his head and stood motionless.I turned around slowly, but it was Li Dequan who came out. He coughed dryly, "The emperor said that because I am not feeling well, the third elder brother, the fourth elder brother and the eighth elder brother will attend the banquet tonight. Let's all perform their duties, let's go, this is it."
All elder brothers in the yard knelt down together, only the third elder brother, the fourth elder brother, and the eighth elder brother shouted at the minister to lead the decree. Li Dequan waved his hand to signal them to leave, but he did not go back to the house, but turned around Walk towards me.Master Shi jumped up from the ground and greeted everyone, but Master Ba glanced at me, turned his head and said something to Master Jiu, Master Jiu stood up, stretched out his hand and pulled Master Shi to go out first Walking away, the Fourteenth Master ignored the hand of the Tenth Master turning back to greet him to go with him, and just stood beside the Eighth Master silently with his hands behind his back.
Looking at Li Dequan's figure getting closer and closer, I was slightly taken aback. Could it be that when Kangxi was in such a bad mood, he would still want to see me, a woman who can be said to be "unlucky" to him.But after thinking about it, no matter how upset he is, he can't stew the two of us with wine anyway. "Humph", I sneered in a low voice, and the little eunuch next to me raised his head and looked at me, with a face on his face. Somewhat curious, when he looked up and saw me smiling at him, his expression became solemn, and he quickly lowered his head again.
In a blink of an eye, Li Dequan had already walked in front of me, "Fu Jin", his voice sounded a bit dry, not like the previous Baoding accent that sounded very dry, "Please come with the servant", I didn't say anything, just Nodding her head, she lifted her foot and followed him down.The people in the yard had already dispersed, but the ones I least wanted to see still dawdled and did not leave. They gathered at the gate of the yard to discuss something in a low voice.
Hearing our footsteps, the third master, the fourth master, Yinxiang, the eighth master, and the fourteenth master all turned their heads to look over. The expressions on their faces were normal, as if they were not surprised by my appearance. Except since Yinxiang was imprisoned, I have never seen my third master again. He looked at me with wide eyes, but the flickering in his eyes was not surprise, but it was true... After they glanced at me, their eyes turned again. They all moved towards the child in my arms at the same time, and the originally calm expressions on their faces fluctuated more or less...
Yinxiang was frowning at first, but when he saw us, his eyes flashed, but the expression on his face softened, the emperor wanted to see me today, both the fourth master and he knew, he whispered to the third master and the others After saying something, he strode over.I turned my eyes and only looked at Yin Xiang, who was wearing a court dress and a crown, stopped, and turned halfway to protect Qiang'er, blocking those hot or cold eyes behind me.
In a blink of an eye Yinxiang had come to the front, first smiled and stretched out his hand to touch Qiang'er's face, then kissed Qiang'er lightly, Qiang'er giggled, but I only felt that there was a thorn on my back, Those eyes seemed to want to poke a hole in my back, but Qiang'er's laughter was like adding fuel to the fire. The eyes that were originally like torches suddenly turned into raging flames, and I couldn't help shivering , couldn't help but shrugged his shoulders, as if this could shake the scorching heat away from his back.
"Ning'er"?Yinxiang called me softly, stretched out his hand and lightly squeezed my shoulder, "Ah" I responded subconsciously, before I could speak again, Li Dequan had already leaned over and said respectfully, "Master Shisan, you Go get busy first, there are servants here to serve you." Although Li Dequan's words were tactful, it was indeed a clear order to evict guests. Yinxiang paused for a moment on my shoulder hand, and then took it back. His expression remained unchanged, only Lang Lang smiled, "Then I will trouble you, father-in-law."
Li Dequan bowed, "I don't dare to be a slave." Yinxiang gently but firmly shook my hand while tidying the quilt for Qiang'er.His hands were warm and dry, and the warmth seemed to spread to the bottom of my heart along my fingers for a moment. I couldn't help but smile and nodded slightly. Yinxiang grinned, turned and walked towards Fourth Master and the others.
"Fujin, please", Li Dequan stretched out his hand, the curtain at the door had already been opened, and a smell of ambergris came over his face, Kangxi's majesty seemed to melt into the fragrance, his heart shrank suddenly, I He hurriedly took a deep breath, and then walked towards the house. The moment he entered the door, he couldn't help but look back... and hurriedly turned back.
The autumn-colored curtain fell behind me, separating the inside and outside into two worlds, warm and cold, but everything I saw at that glance followed me in closely, Yinxiang’s hidden worry , the thoughtful look of the third master, the dazed look of the eighth master, the sharp and gloomy look of the fourteenth elder brother, and the unprepared look of the fourth master, who didn't have time to retract it, it seemed that there was a bit of a blank look...
"Uh huh", Li Dequan coughed lightly, I shook my body, and then I came back to my senses, raised my head and looked over, and the Emperor Kangxi who was a few steps away was leaning half crookedly on the big pillow with his eyes closed, Li Dequan He waved his hand at me, turned around and backed away.A little eunuch walked over quietly, placed a cushion in front of me, and then tiptoed back down.
Looking at the cushion, I couldn't help but roll my eyes in my heart, but I still had to kneel. After I kneeled properly, the room became quiet again. The emperor didn't speak, and it wasn't my turn to say anything.I just lowered my head and looked at Qiang'er who was sleepy now, a small yawn, a tender mouth, soft gums... a smile floated up from the bottom of my heart uncontrollably.
Suddenly, the pressure of being stared at by others came over me. When I raised my head, I was facing Emperor Kangxi’s probing gaze, looking at the corners of his eyes full of wrinkles. I subconsciously lowered my gaze and said softly One sentence, "Mr. Zhao Jia pays respects to the emperor, the emperor is auspicious", "Well", after a while, Kangxi responded lightly, and the pressure disappeared.
"Is this Qiang'er, Li Dequan...", Emperor Kangxi asked slowly, Li Dequan, who was hidden behind me, came up and bent over to take Qiang'er from my hand.I subconsciously didn't want to let go, Li Dequan's hand paused, but as if he didn't notice it, he smiled and said, "Fu Jin, put your right hand first, so that the servant can hold it more securely", I glanced at him, and gently let go She raised her hand and watched him carefully holding Qiang'er and walking towards Kangxi.
"Your Majesty, look, Little Gege seems to be sleepy and can't even open his eyes." Li Dequan hugged Qiang'er in front of Kangxi and said with a smile. Kangxi just turned his head to look, but his face was still calm. Suddenly I glanced at me in a blink of an eye, I was startled, I hung my head down in a hurry, and then sat and knelt back, only to realize that I had been standing up straight just now because of my nervousness.
"Get up", the emperor ordered, I thanked you in a low voice, slowly stood up, and peeked over, Kangxi was reaching out and caressing Qiang'er's face casually. "Giggle...", maybe Qiang'er was sleepy and confused, thinking that it was her father who touched her face, or there was really some blood connection, Qiang'er actually gave a crisp laugh.
Kangxi paused his hand, then sat up straight, stretched out his hand to take the child from Li Dequan's hand, and held Qiang'er in his arms skillfully, with a gentle expression on his face But Qiang'er yawned loudly without knowing anything, and the emperor smiled slightly.
I breathed out quietly, looking at Emperor Kangxi who was gently stroking Qiang'er, the ropes that had been tightly binding my heart since just now seemed to have loosened a bit. "I heard Concubine De said before that you made a pair of shoes for each of the children in the fourth mansion." Kangxi asked me seemingly casually, but his voice was deliberately lowered, and his gaze was still on the On Qiang'er.
"Yes", I replied respectfully, "These days, Sifujin and the others have sent over a lot of things, and they send people to visit me from time to time, but the things come second, the main reason is this kindness, Yu Ning is grateful Endless, and there is nothing to repay, there is nothing in the fourth master's house, so I made a few pairs of shoes, and gave them to the little elder brothers and little princesses. Although the things are small, they are also part of my heart."
"Well, you have a heart", Kangxi snorted softly, I couldn't tell whether it was a compliment or a derogation, let's just take it as a compliment, "The emperor has praised you", I replied respectfully, Kangxi was taken aback, I narrowed my eyes and glanced at me, and I smiled humbly. The emperor was fine, but Li Dequan looked at me in a daze.
"Isn't Nian Shi not compatible with you? She used to..." Kangxi paused, and then said, "I heard that this time Qiang'er passed a hundred days, and she was the only one who gave her a generous gift. The shoes you made for her He also paid extra attention, why is that?" Kangxi handed Qiang'er over to Li Dequan, then reached out to take the ginseng tea brought by the little eunuch, and slowly sipped it.I couldn't help looking at Qiang'er who was already asleep in Li Dequan's arms, but Li Dequan gave me a wink, and I realized that Emperor Kangxi was still waiting for my reply.
"Your Majesty, it's just reciprocity", a sneer suddenly came to my mind, I can't understand what Nian is thinking, don't they all think the same in their hearts, woman... "What's more, Yu Ning has heard people say , there are no eternal friends or enemies in this world, only eternal interests, it is not surprising that Nian has become friendly now," I replied clearly.The emperor's hand trembled slightly, his eyes became a little blurred, but he just muttered, "Eternal benefits..."
"Well said", Kangxi suddenly smiled slowly, "Well said...", that familiar pressure appeared again, I half-cast my eyes, looking at Kangxi's gray beard, and hidden In the sneering corner of his mouth, he felt his body tightening unconsciously.
"It's human nature first, and now it's eternal interests. Sometimes I'm really surprised, how did Yinglu's old-fashioned temper give birth to a daughter like you, eh," Kangxi said with a smile, my heart Jumping violently, I couldn't help looking up at Kangxi, he was looking at me with a smile that wasn't a smile, and for a moment I even felt that I was seen through, although I knew it was impossible, but I still felt cold from the bottom of my heart, just I could barely grin dryly, but didn't know what to say.
"Hmm..." Qiang'er, who was in Li Dequan's arms, groaned twice, probably woken up by the sound of our talking, her small body was also writhing, as if she wanted to cry, Kangxi turned his head and glanced again. Glancing at me, who couldn't hide my longing, he nodded to Li Dequan, and then Li Dequan came over and handed the child to me.
The familiar fragrance of milk surrounded me again, and my mood calmed down all of a sudden, I just comforted her softly, "Take good care of the child", the emperor said calmly, I looked up and looked at Kangxi again Restoring his calm expression, he bent over, "Yu Ning only thinks about this now."
Kangxi stared at me, and after a while he said, "That's good, you go." After speaking, he leaned on the cushion and closed his eyes to rest. I saluted silently, turned around and walked out with Li Dequan Going, the cold air outside the house surrounded me instantly, but I felt that the cold was warmer than the house.
Li Dequan led me forward silently, after a while of twists and turns, the sound of silk and bamboo became more and more clear, "Fu Jin, go a little further ahead and you'll be at the Wanzi Building, Niang Niang and the others are there, don't worry , there are no outsiders, the empress has already ordered, the servant is inconvenient to accompany you there, so I will leave first."
"Thank you, father-in-law", I bent over, Li Dequan bowed and dared not say anything, I hurriedly helped, he straightened up and looked at me, but didn't say anything, just turned around and walked back.Seeing his figure disappear behind the Moon Gate, I let out a slow breath.
The emperor obviously had plans for me, but I'm not Zixia Fairy, I can't even guess the beginning, let alone how the ending will be, I can vaguely feel that now that I am alive, the emperor's "big plan" is even more important It is beneficial, otherwise, why would there be vigilance over and over again, whether overt or covert?From the moment Yinxiang walked out of the gate of confinement, or even from the moment the fourth master desperately tried to save me, the emperor had already made a decision.
But no matter what my fate will be, the fate of the fourth master is obvious. In the emperor's heart, the candidate to inherit the great rule should be the fourth master. To the emperor, it is nothing at all, but to the emperor... and the most competitive fourteenth elder brother, he will be sent to the frontier soon.
The emperor knows his sons well, but there is only one fourteenth elder brother who is brave and resourceful, and can compete with the fourth elder brother. He left, leaving the place of right and wrong. After careful calculation, it might not be a kind of love for him... I couldn't help but smile bitterly. Emperor Kangxi was so calculating about his son, so what do I count?
"Ah Choo", Qiang'er sneezed a little, "Ah" I whispered, I was thinking wildly here by myself, and I forgot about the cold weather.I looked around, and I really didn't want to go to the brightly lit Wanzi Building in front of me.According to experience, when there is a big banquet in Jufan Palace, fires will be set up in the side rooms on the outskirts to prepare tea, milk, soup, etc., so as to provide faster service to the masters.
Turn around and walk to the right side. From the faint lights, it can be seen that it is the side room where the palace maids take turns to rest. After so long, only a handful of servants in the palace can recognize me, so I don’t know care.As soon as I entered, I ran into a little girl head-on. Although she didn't recognize me, she recognized my clothing grade.
Ordered her to heat up some breasts, I turned around and went into a side room, and sure enough, the big wrought copper stove was burning, I dragged my wife and sat down by the fire, the fire illuminated Qiang’er Her face was red, and she was so happy that she turned her head vigorously, trying to find that warm place.
“呵呵”，看着她着急的样子，我不禁笑了出来，伸手去握住她的小手“很暖和是不是”，门口帘搭子一响，估计那小丫头回来了，“奶子拿来了？先给我吧”，我一边逗弄着墙儿，一边伸手去接，一个温热的杯子递了过来，“谢…”,我正要道谢，却看见握住杯子是一只修长有力的手,手不仅僵在了半空中。
“拿着呀，怎么，怕有毒吗”，我身后的十四阿哥淡淡地说了一句.....
