Life on the prairie is always extra fast, and the summer is over before you know it.Minmin and I say goodbye to each other.I am completely relieved of Minmin, Sataka really loves her.Maybe Sataka does have political considerations in his heart, but his feelings for Minmin are also sincere. After Kangxi returned to Beijing, he lived in Changchun Garden.Not far away is the Old Summer Palace.The Old Summer Palace was given to the fourth prince by Kangxi in the forty-sixth year. Kangxi would visit the Old Summer Palace occasionally. Today, Kangxi was going for a walk in the Changchun Garden at will, but on a whim, he ordered Li Dequan to go to the Old Summer Palace with Jiancong.Seeing that Kangxi was very interested, Li Dequan couldn't dissuade him, so he had no choice but to respond. He sent someone to inform the fourth elder brother to pick him up, and arranged for guards. Then Li Dequan and I waited on the car and left.

When they arrived at the Old Summer Palace, the fourth elder brother and all the other Fujins had already waited at the door, before the carriages and horses arrived, they had already knelt on the ground.Kangxi got out of the car and said with a smile: "I came to see the land you planted on a whim. I also heard that you planted a lot of fruit trees. Take me to have a look." The fourth elder brother got up quickly and walked slowly around the garden with Kangxi. Kangxi looked at the fruit trees planted by the fourth elder brother and listened to him talk about the different cultivation methods of various fruit trees. During the planting, the fourth elder brother made jokes, and the father and son talked happily. For a moment, people forgot that they were still monarchs and ministers.

Kangxi was in high spirits and had already walked a lot. Li Dequan and I looked at each other and frowned. It seemed that he was thinking about how not to spoil Kangxi's interest, but also reminded Kangxi to take a break.The fourth elder brother was standing under the tree answering Kangxi's words, and happened to be sideways towards me. I made a gesture of sitting down and resting towards him, and he continued to smile back to Kangxi's words as if he hadn't seen him.After Kangxi finished asking, he said with a smile: "A lot of chrysanthemums that Huang Ama likes are planted around the gazebo in front. Huang Ama must go and enjoy them. Several chrysanthemums are taken care of by my son himself."

When Kangxi heard it, he said yes with a smile, and the two walked towards the pavilion. Li Dequan gave me an approving smile, and they followed behind Kangxi and the fourth elder brother. Kangxi sat down on the rattan chair, and the fourth elder brother stood aside and pointed out the chrysanthemums he was looking after one by one, and explained the origin and habits of the varieties very clearly. Kangxi nodded while listening.After a while, someone came with refreshments.I took it in a hurry and took out the tools I prepared in advance to test the poison one by one. After Li Dequan tried them all in turn, I gave them to Kangxi.

Kangxi looked at the scenery around the pavilion while drinking tea casually, and the fourth prince chatted with him. The two talked about Mr. Wuliu from chrysanthemums, from the Confucian spirit of joining the world to Lao Zhuang's rule by doing nothing, and finally returned to The hermit among the flowers is on the chrysanthemum.Kangxi talked a lot, and commented on the poems that recited chrysanthemums in detail.Li Dequan hadn't seen Kangxi so happy for a long time, and he also stood aside with a smile on his face.There are smiles in the pavilion. I drank a lot of Kangxi tea, but I didn't touch a piece of dessert.After drinking tea and resting enough, they got up and continued to stroll slowly.On the way, Li Dequan helped Kangxi change his clothes and left.My fourth elder brother and I waited silently.

I didn't move my head, looked at the distance without focus and said in a low voice: "The emperor didn't eat anything before he came, and he didn't eat any snacks just now. He will definitely be hungry after a while. Just look at the melons that my son planted by himself." If so, it’s almost close.” He stood still for a moment, then turned around and beckoned to his servant, and after whispering instructions for a while, the servant ran away quickly. When Kangxi came back, several people walked around for a while. Seeing that Kangxi had lost all interest, the fourth elder brother respectfully asked Kangxi to enter the hall to rest for a while before returning by car.Kangxi smiled and nodded in agreement.

After Kangxi sat down, Sifujin Ulanara came in with refreshments in his own hands. With a smile on my face, I took the tray from Sifujin with complicated feelings.Si Fujin bowed to Kangxi, and smiled back: "These cakes are definitely not as good as those in the palace, but they are made by the minister's daughter-in-law. It is a little filial piety to Huang Ama, so I have to ask Huang Ama to give it a try. gone." After Kangxi heard this, his interest greatly increased. He took it from Li Dequan with a smile, tasted a piece, nodded and said, "Not bad! It's very sweet." Si Fujin followed Kangxi to pick up different pastries, and said: "This chestnut The cake is made of ground chestnuts planted by the prince. This chrysanthemum cake is made of the chrysanthemums that the emperor Ama admired in the east pavilion..." Kangxi was so happy that he tasted all the pastries one by one again.

The gentle and dignified Sifujin spoke sweetly.I turned my head and looked out the window lightly. After Kangxi finished using the cakes, the girl brought a basin of water. Just as I was about to roll up my sleeves, Si Fujin had already personally cleaned Kangxi’s hands. Kangxi glanced at me and said with a smile: “The most eloquent person on weekdays, why is he now a ‘saw-mouthed gourd’?” " I bowed, pretending to be aggrieved and said: "Now that the emperor has a clever and clever daughter-in-law to serve him, he despises the roughness of slaves." Si Fujin said a little uneasy: "I often hear that Miss Ruoxi is blue-hearted, intelligent, and I have been with Huang Ama for many years, and her knowledge and demeanor are very comparable, if the girl uses the word "vulgar", wouldn't it shame us?" Kangxi smiled and said to Si Fujin: "Don't pay attention to her! She just pretends to make me smile , she is not that narrow-minded."

After Kangxi cleaned his hands, he turned his head and asked Li Dequan: "Is there any more jade Ruyi that Myanmar paid tribute to?" Ge Ge, there is only one handle left." Kangxi said: "Take it back and give it to Si Fujin Ulanala family." Hearing this, the fourth elder brother and Si Fujin hurriedly knelt down to express their gratitude.Kangxi smiled and said: "I haven't been so happy and leisurely for a long time. No matter how expensive things are, they can't compare with the filial piety of you two. Who said that there is no happiness in the family? Today I am like an old man in an ordinary family. The most delicious ones are planted by the son and made by the daughter-in-law.”

Kangxi sat for a while, and then drove back to Changchun Garden with a smile.Si elder brother and Si Fujin knelt to send Kangxi off. I sat in the car, raised the corner of the curtain slightly, and stared at him kneeling in front of everyone.The carriage started and drifted away. Just as he was about to lower the curtain, he suddenly raised his head and stared at my carriage. His eyes were as real as they were, firmly fixed on my heart.I fixedly looked at him, his figure was fading away, but his eyes still enveloped me everywhere. I put down the curtain, covered my face with my hands, tears flowed down my fingers, and slid down silently on the blanket in the carriage, instantly disappearing, as if it had never happened before.

Because Kangxi liked chrysanthemums, whenever the chrysanthemums bloomed, there were always fresh chrysanthemums in the house for Kangxi to enjoy. Most of the rattan basket is filled with chrysanthemums, holding scissors in hand, looking at the biggest and brightest yellow chrysanthemum, hesitant to pick it or not?That's all!Let it unleash its beauty alone!Just as I was about to pick up the basket and leave, someone asked, "Why don't you want that flower?" I was stunned for a while, took a deep breath, and slowly turned around to salute the fourth elder brother standing under the tree. He walked up to me, and the two of them stood quietly for a while, I saluted and asked to leave, he stared at the yellow chrysanthemum and asked lightly: "Why?" drop." He said, "Why don't you resent me?" That's what I asked, so I smiled wryly, what's the point of saying this now?Just walk away.He shouted from behind: "Ruoxi, tell me!" I froze slightly, and continued walking, feeling his eyes glued to my back, entangled in every possible way, my heart became more and more sad, and my steps were fierce. He paused, and turned to look at him.His gaze was stubborn and helpless, with a hint of sadness. I lowered my head and sighed softly, walked back to him and said, "Why do I hate you? Is it because you broke your promise? It's ridiculous! Could it be that you keep your promise like a tail student and keep your promise until you die? Don't say that this matter also involves Brother Thirteen Even if it’s just you and me, I don’t want the two of us to die together. I’d rather live separately.” He was silent for a while, then said in a deep voice, “Lvwu knelt down at the gate of my house and begged.” I said, “I I know! Luwu and I are asking for Elder Brother Thirteen to have a better life now, but you are asking for him to be rescued one day in the future. The purpose is different, and the actions are different. For the sake of far-sightedness, you can only sacrifice the present." He said: " Since my thirteenth brother was imprisoned, I have never seen his wife and children." I said: "'If you can't bear it, you will make a big mess'. Now that you have made a wrong step, their husband and wife, father and son may not see each other for life, but Only with forbearance and waiting for the future will it be possible to reunite with the family in the future." He stared at Huang Ju beside him, his arms were stiff and his fists were clenched.I said: "Because you were close to the thirteenth elder brother before, and he committed crimes under the guise of your name, so the suspicion is the greatest, and we must avoid suspicion; what's more, the thirteenth elder brother admits to acting like this behind your back, which is to trap you. Loyalty and unrighteousness make people feel cold, how can they take care of the other party's wife and children as soon as they turn around, and forgive the other party's reason?" After speaking, he turned around and wanted to leave, he shouted: "Wait a moment!" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to pinch the chrysanthemum that I didn't have the heart to cut, and inserted it into my basket, saying coldly: "I will forget everything soon!" After speaking, he turned and left , I turned to his back and said: "I will do it too!" After I finished speaking, I turned around and walked away quickly. When he was far away, he slowed down and walked slowly in a daze.Say it to yourself over and over again, you will definitely forget it!
