Chapter 49 Chapter Forty-eight

It was just beginning of summer, and before the weather completely turned hot, Kangxi ordered to prepare to go outside the Great Wall.Although I have trips outside the Great Wall every year, every time I go, I am very happy in my heart. After leaving the Forbidden City, the rules are much less, and the struggle seems to be far away.Galloping under the blue sky and white clouds, enjoying the warm sunshine, gentle wind, and the faint fragrance of green grass, I will feel that life is still beautiful and my heart is still brisk. The elder brothers who accompanied me outside the Great Wall this time included the crown prince, the fifth elder brother, the seventh elder brother, the eighth elder brother, the fourteenth elder brother, and the fifteenth elder brother.Except for the occasional chat and joke with Fourteen, I avoided everything else as much as I could.

This year Su Wan, Prince Guerjia and Minmin are both coming, only Prince Heshu came to see Kangxi, but I asked Prince Heshu to bring me a letter.Before I finished reading the letter, I covered my stomach and fell on the blanket laughing.The letter said that since bidding farewell to Kangxi in August last year, Prince Zuoying didn't even return to his own tribe, but chased her all the way, and lived in the palace again.The letter is full of stories about how Prince Sataka follows her all day long, how he pleases her, how she refuses, how he puts on airs to tease him, and how Prince Sataka fights wits and courage with her. Tempted, but between the lines reveals her admiration for Sataka, as well as inadvertent happiness!I faintly feel that this is Minmin's star, and Minmin will not miss him, because Prince Sataka will not allow Minmin to miss him!I seem to have seen their happiness waiting not far away.

Holding the letter, reading it again and again, my mood became extraordinarily good, and I was finally able to see a period of happiness between two people by my side, without referring to marriage, without coercion, and without grievance!Everything is him and her! After galloping the horses, the horses and men were a little tired, so they let go of the reins and let the horses walk slowly. These days seem to be the most peaceful days I have ever lived. During the off-duty time, I always ride alone on the grassland alone. Let it walk slowly on horseback.Most of the time, one person and one horse, from the first sunrise of the sun to the sunset, chewing dry food, drinking water, looking here, enjoying there, a whole day of self-satisfaction has passed!Yu Tan said with a smile: "My sister stays with the horse all day, and seems to be more and more unwilling to talk to people."

I lowered my head and smiled, thinking, I don't even know when I became like this!I remember that from childhood to adulthood, I was the person who couldn't bear loneliness the most. I always wanted to call friends and make friends, and I was in groups.When I first came to work in Shenzhen, I didn’t have any friends around, and I didn’t dare to go back to the house after get off work, and I always stayed in bars.Even when I was in Baylor Mansion, I wanted the girls to play with me, but just like that, I still sighed 'boring, boring'!It seems that I have never learned how to spend my time alone. "Time is easy to throw people away, green plantains, red cherries", between red and green, I have quietly changed, and I started to enjoy the quietness of being alone.In fact, if I can live my life so peacefully, that would be my blessing!

One day, I was lying on the horseback, resting with my eyes closed, when I suddenly heard the sound of hooves getting closer.Opening his eyes, he saw Eighth Prince riding his horse and walking slowly beside the horse.I hurriedly sat up straight, silent for a while, greeted him, and said: "I still have some things to do, if Lord Belle has no other orders, I will leave!" He stared into the distance, and asked in a concentrated voice: "Are you really letting go?" My heart throbbed with pain, but I replied quietly on the face: "Let go!" "Do you have someone else in mind?" he asked.I was a little flustered and didn't dare to think deeply about this question, so I just replied lightly: "No!" He stared at me for a while and said: "In three years, I will be old enough to leave the palace. Ama proposes marriage to you?" I casually said, "Tomorrow will worry you! You can't help yourself, why worry about it?" After saying that, he bowed and left, and he nodded with a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and waved me away .I turned my horse back, whipped the horse and went away.

Before he ran far, he saw Fourteen reining in his horse and standing on the hillside, looking at this side from a distance.Thinking of bumping into him at this time, he might be scolded again with his temper, so he simply pretended not to see it, and rode back to the camp. Sending the horse back to the stable, he walked slowly towards his tent, feeling sore and unspeakable in his heart, he bowed his head and walked silently, when he suddenly heard: "Ruoxi! What are you thinking?" He hurriedly looked up, only to see Prince Heshu and the Crown Prince The master was standing not far away with a smile, and hurriedly bowed to pay his respects.I don't know if it's because of Minmin or that jade pendant, but Prince Heshu treats me very differently. He always calls me by my first name, just like Minmin; But he said his, I do mine.

Prince Heshu said with a smile: "I looked at it for a long time, but I didn't notice anything!" I smiled and bowed and said, "It's the servant who is rude, please punish the prince and prince!" He sighed: "It's a joke, there is no I blame you, I just rushed to make amends, why bother to be so cautious and courteous? If Minmin was half of you, Ama and I would not have to worry so much! Now that you are serving in front of the imperial court, you have no chance. When you leave the palace in the future, I will pick you up Mongolia has fun for a while, and I will change your temper!" The prince smiled and said: "There is no chance now, Huang Ama takes her everywhere. But in two or three years, she will be old enough to leave the palace No matter how reluctant Huang Ama is, it's time to point out the marriage. If the prince wants to invite, I'm afraid he can't invite only one person!" Prince Heshu smiled slightly, but didn't answer.

Why is everyone so concerned about my marriage, and everyone is thinking about it?I still feel that I am not annoying enough, so hurry to remind me!Not wanting to say any more, he twitched the corners of his mouth and squeezed a smile, bowed and left, the prince gave me a smile and asked me to leave. When the autumn wind started to rise, Kangxi decided to leave the camp and return to Beijing. Sitting in the carriage, thinking that the crown prince would be abolished next year, he couldn't help sighing that next year's life would not be so easy, and he had to cheer up to face this court storm.Thinking about the possible finger marriage, he even raised his brows.What on earth should I do?

Changchun Garden in September of the 50th year of Kangxi After Kangxi came back from outside the Great Wall, he directly lived in Changchun Garden.It is close to the mansions of all elder brothers, so it is convenient for elder brothers to come in and out! Today I happened to run into Elder Fourteen, seeing that he was not busy, so I stopped him and asked him about the relationship between Elder Ten and Fujin Ten.Ever since Kangxi ordered all the older brothers to accompany him to have fun in the imperial garden last time, but the tenth elder brother said that he would be ill in the future, this matter has been on his mind, and he has always wanted to ask the fourteenth elder brother to clarify, but there was never a suitable opportunity.Either when I encountered it, I forgot; when I remembered it, it was not appropriate to ask.

He laughed and said, "If I hadn't known it since I was a child, I would have misunderstood you again! How can you be like this? You care so much about the private affairs of other people's husband and wife! I don't know what you think about all day long?" Said, but still laughed and told the interesting things he encountered. While listening, I thought that he was straight-hearted, quick-tempered, and unbearable, but he was still a true-tempered person. They were really happy lovers, noisy Live in trouble! The two were chatting and laughing, Yu Tan ran up to him anxiously, greeted Brother Fourteen in a hurry, and watched me hesitate to speak.I suppressed my smile and asked, "What's the matter?" She glanced at the fourteenth elder brother, stared at me and said, "First of all, the crown prince... the crown prince... and the long live god want a sister! marriage!"

There was a 'boom' in my head, and it exploded instantly.My legs were weak and my body was about to fall, so Yutan hurriedly supported me.The sound of 'buzzing' was all around my ears, Yutan seemed to be still talking, but I didn't hear a word, I just thought, what evil did I do, God didn't show me any pity? When I came back to my senses, I found myself sitting in the room.Yutan looked at me and her, and said with a crying voice: "My good sister! Don't scare me!" I weakly pointed to the teacup, and she hurriedly brought it over and let me take a few sips.I just feel dazed and empty, not knowing what to think or what to do. I casually asked, "Where's Brother Fourteen?" Yu Tan said, "Master Fourteen just left after hearing this, and just told me to take good care of you!" Yutan said comfortingly: "Sister! Don't worry, Long Live Lord hasn't nodded yet?" I was silent for a long while, thinking that this can't be done, things absolutely can't be like this!Said to Yutan: "You carefully tell me what happened today from the beginning to the end, bit by bit, and even tell me a look from the emperor." Yu Tan said: "After the prince came, sister Yunxiang ordered me to serve tea. When I brought the tea tray in, the prince was kneeling on the ground and said to the emperor, '... Ruoxi is old, she is gentle and courteous, Both her appearance and appearance are outstanding, so I dared to ask Huang Ama to make the decision and give her to my son as a side concubine!" The emperor was silent for a while before saying, "Ruoxi has been by my side for many years and has been serving me wholeheartedly. I want to stay with her for another two or three years, and give her advice on a good marriage. It is not in vain for her to serve me. What happened today suddenly, I have to think about it...' Then, my tea was served, and there was no reason to stay any longer , I had no choice but to withdraw! Because I was shocked at the time, I was afraid that the emperor and the crown prince would see the clues, so I didn't dare to raise my head, so I never paid attention to the expressions of the emperor and the crown prince." Thinking about it carefully, I can probably understand what the prince is thinking, but there are three reasons, one is Kangxi, the other is the Mongols, and the third is my Ama, and the Mongols are obviously the most important factors.But I have no idea what Kangxi is thinking. If Kangxi agrees, what should I do? Do I really want to marry the prince?Or against the decree?Is it really necessary to prepare a three-foot white ling as the fourth elder brother said?I know everyone's ending, but I don't know my own ending. Is this the ending God prepared for me?Thinking about it, I couldn't help feeling sad, lying on the couch and crying. Yutan insisted on staying in my room at night, and I said weakly: "Don't worry! Are you really afraid that I will hang myself at night? Since the Lord Long Live has not nodded, the matter has not come to an end. I'm at a dead end, and I'm not willing to accept my fate! You leave me alone!" Seeing that I had finished speaking, Yutan had no choice but to go back to her room. I lay on the bed, thinking back and forth, tears bubbling down again, I was filled with grief and anger when I saw Elder Brother Shi giving me the marriage, now I know that it is not only grief and anger, but also deep despair! Putting on clothes, he walked slowly to the osmanthus tree, thinking about the face of the prince in the past, and thinking about how he saw Minmin, he felt extremely disgusted, hugged the osmanthus tree, put his face on the trunk, and cried gushing out.Am I all wrong?Did my persistence end up hurting myself?Regardless of the fourth elder brother, the eighth elder brother, or the tenth elder brother, it is better than marrying the prince! Think for a while, cry for a while, and before you know it, the sky is already white. "Why is my sister only wearing unlined clothing?" Yutan, who opened the door, screamed, stepped over to help me, and just touched my body, and shouted: "Oh my god! It's so hot! How long has my sister been outside?" ?” I was dazed and helped to lie down on the bed by her.While wrapping the quilt for me, she said: "Sister, if you bear with me, I'll go find the prince and ask for a doctor!"
