Chapter 32 Chapter Thirty-One

When I was on duty in the early morning, the eighth elder brother saw me and was stunned. I glanced at his wrapped right arm and concentrated on serving tea to Kangxi.Kangxi is listening to the prince telling how the eighth elder brother was scalded.After hearing this, I just asked the eighth elder brother to take good care of it.After the eighth elder brother kowtowed, he went back to the tent to rest. While serving tea to the crown prince, Kangxi asked indifferently: "Did the horse thief catch you last night? What did you lose?" I faced the crown prince and saw his hand trembling slightly, and replied respectfully: " No! Because it was discovered in time, nothing was lost.” Kangxi took a sip of tea and said, “The Mongols were not very happy, saying that there were thieves wearing Mongolian robes, but they searched the entire camp but found nothing.” The crown prince's complexion suddenly became extremely ugly, and he quickly stood up and said: "My son was reckless for a while and didn't think carefully, please punish Huang Ama!" Kangxi glanced at him and said gently: "In the future, you must think twice before acting!" The prince nodded hurriedly.

After Kangxi finished his meal, the crown prince and other ministers accompanied him to hunt on horseback.Watching Kangxi and his group gradually drift away, people gradually dispersed.I stood silently for a while, until I couldn't see Kangxi and the others.Only then turned around and walked. When he was approaching the eighth elder brother's tent, his footsteps slowed down unknowingly.Although he has made up his mind to pay attention, but when things come to an end, he is still struggling and unwilling.But thinking about his little care and dedication over the past four years, he still moved to his account step by step.

When he lifted the curtain and entered, Li Fu was serving him a meal, his hands were inconvenient, so Li Fu could only do it for him.He saw me come in, stopped, and looked at me quietly.Li Fu bowed his head and stood behind him.He and I looked at each other silently for a while, then I smiled at him, stepped forward a few steps, and told Li Fu, "Eunuch, go down first!" Li Fu quickly glanced at Eighth Brother, bowed his body and quickly backed out.I dragged a stool and sat next to Brother Ba, picked up the chopsticks in one hand, and the small plate in the other, and brought the dishes to his mouth.

He didn't open his mouth, but just stared at me silently, with a hint of uneasiness in his eyes.I put the food back into the small dish, smiled sweetly, and asked softly: "Don't you like me serving you?" He looked at me and said: "If this is the first time, I will be so happy; if this is For the last time, I'd rather keep it for future use forever." I looked at him tenderly, with a smile on my lips, picked up the vegetables, and brought them to his mouth.He looked into my eyes, and I knew there was nothing but gentleness in it now, he laughed all of a sudden, opened his mouth and ate the food.After taking two bites, he suddenly called out: "Li Fu!" Li Fu hurried in, and said with a smile, "Bring a jug of wine!" Li Fu hesitated and said, "I'm hurt, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to drink." As he spoke, he just looked at me.

The eighth elder brother laughed and scolded: "Are you the master, or am I the master?" Upon hearing this, Li Fu didn't dare to say more, and withdrew.After a while, he came in with a jug of wine and two wine cups. I stood up and took the tray, and said, "Just one cup!" Li Fu's frown was relaxed.He bowed and quietly backed out. I poured the wine and brought it to his mouth, he smiled at me, his dark eyes became very bright, and a little smile splashed out, making his face even more crystal clear like jade.Such unabashed joy!With a move in my heart, those few traces of unwillingness were also melted a little.It's worth it, at least he's so happy now, isn't it?

He kept staring at me, and the calm and composure I had when I first came in all disappeared. I was embarrassed to look into his eyes again, turned my gaze, and asked with a smile, "Do you want to drink?" He was busy with my hand, slowly Had a drink.I also had a drink myself. Serve him after eating, rinsing his mouth, and cleaning his hands.Li Fu removed the cups and plates.I set up the cushions and asked him to lean on him, and asked, "Do you want me to find you a book to read?" He smiled and said, "Don't read anything! I want you to sit with me!" I looked at him with a smile and said, "Today I'm on duty, so I have to go back and prepare refreshments! How about something to drink when the Long Live Lord comes back? Besides, I still want to see Brother Fourteen."

He didn't speak, just looked at me with his eyes. I couldn't resist him, and besides, I didn't want to go against his wishes now.Sitting beside him, said: "Just for a while." He looked at me with a smile, sighed softly, and said: "I have been thinking about it for a long time for you to sit beside me so willingly!" His face was slightly hot, his head was bowed sideways, he didn't speak, but there was a little sweetness in his heart, even a woman couldn't resist sweet talk. He leaned closer to me, and I hurriedly and subconsciously moved aside, he chuckled twice and didn't move any more, I just felt his gaze was fixed on my face, my heart was sweet but unease.In the silence, the pressure was increasing, so he stood up abruptly and said, "I really have to go!" He laughed and said, "If you don't let me go, you won't dare to come again next time! Go!" When he was about to leave, he said again, "Don't go to see the fourteenth brother." I stopped and looked at him.He said: "He's at Minmin Gege's place, he's very safe, let's talk about it after two days, the prince won't be so careful!" I asked: "If you have already discussed the matter, it's better to let him go as soon as possible, that's the best solution. He replied: "The matter is almost the same, but now the prince must be thinking, since all the tents have been searched and there is no one, then if it is really the fourteenth brother, he will definitely try to return to Beijing and send it to the outside." Search by hand, wait for a few days until the prince's suspicions are gone, and then go is more appropriate!"

I nod.I thought to myself, I should worry less about it in the future. Compared with being thoughtful, this is what they have been thinking about since they were young. Even if there are ten of them, I can't keep up with one of them.While thinking, he stepped out of the tent.He said softly behind him, "I'll be waiting for you tonight!" Walking under the blue sky in June, I half-raised my head and stared at the clouds in the sky. From now on, it would be impossible to 'heart like a cloud, come and go freely', half bitter in my heart, and said to myself: Love him well!Do your best to love him!Let him fall in love with himself wholeheartedly!

In the afternoon, after explaining clearly to Rue Xiang what he was on duty at night, he went back to his tent to wash and tidy up.I soaked in the tub dripped with rose dew, closed my eyes in the scent, and thought, this should be my first date since I arrived in ancient times, right?He didn't get up slowly until he felt that his whole body had the faint fragrance of roses. Except for the daily hair style, I don't comb the other hair styles very well, but after a long time of work, a delicate hairstyle is still done.It's worth the time to see it. I rinsed my mouth with green salt and a simple homemade toothbrush, and took a mouthful of rose dew mixed with water. After a while, I spit it out.Thinking that I can't do "breathing like blues", "breathing like roses" should be justified.

Everything is tidied up, taking a selfie in the mirror, the beauty is probably like this!As soon as I left the house, a Mongolian girl with a round face ran up and said, "My Gege invites the girl to come over!" I thought about it, and said to her, "Miss trouble, please tell Gege that I'm not free today and can't go. Please take care of me. In two days, I must go to say hello to Princess." She looked at me suspiciously, turned her head and ran away in a hurry. Entering Eighth Prince's tent, I was still thinking in my heart, how was Fourteen doing?He should be able to understand the meaning of Eighth Prince.As for how to deal with Minmin Gege, if he can't handle this properly, why would he fight the prince?The eighth elder brother is leaning sideways and playing with the chess pieces.Seeing me come in, he stared at me up and down undisguisedly, with a smile in his eyes, and motioned me to sit opposite him.Ask: "Am I your 'self-pleaser'?" I ignored him and asked: "My arms are not convenient, why are you still playing with these?"

He said with a smile, "It's just moving your fingers, and you don't use any force, so it doesn't get in the way! Besides, the burn is not serious." At the same time, he ordered Li Fu to remove the chessboard and pass on the meal.I asked, "Is Baozhu okay?" He laughed and said, "He can still bear a few boards!" I sighed in my heart, and remained silent without speaking. The two finished their meal quietly.I read a book to him for a while, under the dancing candlelight, his face was calm, without the usual smile on his lips, but his eyes were full of joy, occasionally looking up at him, always smiling at him like spring water eyes, heart skipped a beat, and hastily lowered his head to continue studying.When he got up to leave, he didn't keep me anymore.He just took my hand, clasped it in the palm of his hand, and held it quietly for a while.Then let me go. In the past few days, everything has been peaceful. Seeing the prince's expression with a hint of frustration, it seems that he has given up.I have also met Min Min Gege a few times, I don't know how Shisi told her, anyway, she didn't talk to me in particular, she just looked at me with a little bit of fun in her eyes.Of course, I also retreated after greeting her, keeping a distance from her. This afternoon, I deliberately waited until Minmin was alone, I smiled and went up to say hello, Minmin waved me to get up.Two women are always extraordinarily close if they share the secret of their love.Minmin was very kind to me, the two walked casually, she asked with a smile: "Miss him?" I had a smile on my lips and didn't say anything.She came over and took my arm and said, "I think he's not bad!" I smiled and squinted at her, and said, "How old is Ge Ge this year? It's only fourteen or five years old, right? You sound like you have a lot of experience?" She pushed me lightly, pouted and said, "I praised your sweetheart, but you actually came to make fun of me!" I smiled and asked, "How about I visit you at night?" She shook her head and said, "What if I can't tell you?" I smiled and said, "If you want to keep him, then let him be with you." It's gone!" She blushed and said, "You're so sharp-tongued, I can't beat you. Come here at night." Goodbye Fourteen, still with fake beards all over his face, I really don't know how he washes his face these days. Minmin looked at me with a smile, then at Fourteen, and finally said triumphantly: "You guys take your time! I'm going out first." After speaking, she winked at me and turned around to leave the tent. Fourteen looked at me silently for a while, and said, "Thank you this time!" I smiled and said, "How long have we known each other? We have been friends for more than four years, and you have taken care of me a lot these years. Saying thanks, isn't it too much? Besides, without me, your people wouldn't let you have anything to do, I just happened to happen." He lowered his head and started laughing, then suddenly suppressed his smile and asked, "I heard that Myna's arm was burned?" I suppressed my smile, sighed lightly and said, "He wants to see you later, you can ask him yourself." !” He was stunned for a moment and asked, “Where will I meet you?” I said, “I’ll see you at the Mongolian camp when he comes over.” Shisi laughed and sighed after hearing this: "Good way, the Mongols were not happy with the crown prince, but this time the crown prince has searched the Mongolian camp again, but there are no thieves he said, and the Mongols are annoyed! He should now keep the Mongols at arm's length." Minmin asked me strangely: "Why did he go out?" I replied: "Because he will return to Beijing in a few days, so I went to say goodbye to my good friends. Thank them for taking care of me on weekdays." Lies cannot withstand scrutiny.But Minmin is only fourteen or fifteen years old after all, and her Ama has always doted on her. She is not deeply involved in the world, so she didn't think much about it. She sat down next to me and asked, "Will you teach me how to sing when you have time?" I was stunned. After a while, not knowing why this topic came up, he looked at her wonderingly. Minmin said with a smile: "He told me everything. It was because he listened to the song you sang for him that he fell in love with you." I smiled helplessly. What nonsense to coax the little girl.I had to follow her and say, "Okay!" She hesitated slightly, and asked, "Does Thirteenth Brother like to listen to opera?" I smiled and said, "Yes, Thirteenth Brother is good at temperament, especially proficient in playing the piano and flute, and is very famous among the princes in the capital." After listening to it, Minmin was silent, staring at the front, thinking for a while, and said quietly: "I really want to hear him play the piano and flute, it must be very beautiful!" She grabbed my hand suddenly and asked: "Have you heard it? Tell me, what happened at that time? What expression did he have? What song did he play? What color clothes did he wear? Who did he play for?" I After being asked a series of questions by her, she wanted to speak a few times but closed her mouth again. It was not until she finished asking that she said regretfully, "I haven't heard of it either!" Her face was full of disappointment all of a sudden, and I hurriedly said, "If you and Thirteenth Brother are here next year, I will definitely let him play for you!" Wondering, I asked: "Are you and Brother Shisan very close?" I laughed and said, "When I was 13 years old, the two played together. They are really close." Thinking in my heart, fortunately, there are now ten Si is a shield, otherwise Minmin might think wrongly.After Minmin listened to it, her face was full of undisguised envy. I sighed deeply and said to her very gently: "I will definitely let you hear the song that Elder Brother Thirteen specially played for you." Sensitively smiled at me, then lowered her head sadly.I muttered to myself: "His Fujin must be able to hear him playing music often." I didn't know how to respond, even the ancient people who fully accepted polygamy could not avoid jealousy and discomfort.Eighth brother, can he understand my heart?He is not the only one who suffers from this feeling. Maybe he understands my resistance, my helplessness, my grievance, and my struggle?Then I think of Bafujin, the granddaughter of Prince An Yue Le, who has a noble status, but she can't keep her husband's heart. I am suffering because of her. If she knows me, why won't her heart ache?After all, from the perspective of modern people, I am the one who arranges the music, the third party who destroys other people's marriages.Even if Eighth Prince can do everything I want, this cross is destined to be carried for life! Both of them were full of emotions, and each was sad.Fourteen lifted the curtain and entered, Minmin hurriedly stood up, saying: "I'm going out." and hurried out. Shisi walked up to me with a smile and greeted me respectfully. I was taken aback and stepped aside, "What are you doing?" He smiled and said, "Good sister-in-law! From now on I should Greetings to you." My face became hot all of a sudden.I wanted to scold him, but I couldn't find the words.Can only stand awkwardly. Seeing me like this, Fourteen didn't make fun of me anymore, but just looked at me.After a while, I sighed: "Mynah finally got his wish for many years!" I said angrily: "I'm leaving! I don't want to listen to your nonsense!" Fourteen didn't stop me, but I walked a few steps by myself, and suddenly stopped and turned around and asked, "When are you coming back?" Fourteen replied, "Leave tomorrow night!" I nodded and said, "Don't come back again." Make up those unreasonable things to coax Minmin! At that time, I will not be able to lie. She will learn to sing from me now!" Fourteen said with a smile: "Then you teach her the opera that you sang to Brother Ten back then Oh!" I shook my head and sighed, "I don't know how to explain to Min Min Gege in the future? I don't know if she will forgive me?" After finishing speaking, I turned around and left the tent, feeling a little bit at a loss in my heart. How could we have so many troubles at that time?Today's day is always careful, cautious step by step.A day of lies, deceit and blood.I used to think that because I knew the history, I could seek good luck and avoid bad luck, but in the end I was helplessly involved step by step.
