Chapter 80 Chapter 79

There are two more Lantern Festivals. In previous years, all the people in the palace were busy hanging lanterns and preparing to celebrate the festive season, but this year because they are still in mourning, no lanterns and fireworks will be rewarded. Cheng Huan has become more intimate with me these days, probably because I pamper her more.Things that don't follow the rules and go beyond the rules are all laughed off here.She was climbing a tree, and the maids and eunuchs serving her jumped up and down anxiously, but I watched Le from the sidelines, and only told her to be careful not to fall.She lifted up her skirt to play with the dog, and the old nanny shouted and ordered her to stop, but I hurriedly ordered someone to coax the old nanny away, and let her hug and roll with the dog.After smashing the newly gifted Yu Ruyi from Yinzhen in the Queen's Palace, she was so frightened that she hid in the tree and refused to come down. I taught her to pinch herself and cry, and then she hugged the Queen's leg and begged the Queen to beat her. Of course, the Queen is impossible. After beating her, Cheng Huan immediately went to Yinzhen and told her how well the queen treated her, boasting that the queen was unique in heaven and earth, and the slight unhappiness that the queen had secretly had disappeared immediately, and seeing Cheng Huan became more and more darling.After coming down again and again, she, a ghost, knows who is the most effective person to turn to when she gets into trouble, who will take the trouble to cover her up and tell lies for her.

Yinzhen said to me twice, saying that I can't let Cheng Huan do things like this, and if this continues, she will dare to tear off the tiles of the Hall of Mental Cultivation someday.I said: "Then let someone put it back again!" He stared at me for a while, shook his head, and said nothing more. Cheng Huan and I watched the little eunuch help us make lanterns, but Cheng Huan couldn't make up his mind about what kind of lanterns to make. One moment he said he wanted a lotus flower, the other he said he wanted a grandson monkey, and the two of them were whispering After discussing, Yutan hurried over with an ugly expression: "Sister, the emperor wants to see you!" I told Cheng Huan a few words, and hurriedly followed Yutan.

"What's the matter?" Yu Tan said, "I'll know when my sister goes." I was puzzled and hurriedly quickened my pace. After entering the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he was shocked to see that the person sitting below was Ba Ye.Although Yinzhen didn't say it clearly, he didn't want me to see the eighth and tenth elder brothers, so he kept separating us deliberately.But why are you calling me now? After Yinzhen asked me to get up, he hesitated for a while, looked at the eighth elder brother and said, "You should talk to her directly!" The eighth elder brother was pale, his brows were tightly frowned, and his lips that were always smiling were tightly pressed together. Without his usual calm and elegant style, there was even a hint of panic and pain.

I bit my lip, clenched my hands into fists, and stared at him terrified.He took a deep breath and said, "Ruolan wants to see you!" I immediately burst into tears, turned around and ran outside the palace.Yinzhen shouted from behind: "Can you outrun a horse?" I stopped, turned around and looked at Yinzhen, the eighth elder brother stepped forward and said: "The chariot and horses are ready, let's go now." He said and took the lead and strode away.I was busy trotting to keep up. I followed Eighth Brother and jumped into the carriage. There were guards in front of and behind the carriage.The eighth prince lowered his eyes and sat silently.I covered my face and cried for a while, then raised my head and asked, "How long has it been?" He said, "Just three days ago, everything was normal before, but suddenly I fell ill." I wiped my tears and asked, "What did the imperial doctor say?" Bending over, half covering her face with her hands, after a long while, she said in a sad tone: "The body never recovered after the miscarriage, and I was depressed all the year round. The inside is already exhausted, and now it's a day after day."

I couldn't bear it anymore, leaned sideways on the wainscot and burst into tears.After walking all the way and crying all the way, when the carriage stopped in front of the mansion, he said: "Don't cry anymore, she just can't worry about you now, don't let her worry anymore." I suppressed my grief and wiped away my tears, " I know." Before I got to my sister's room, Qiaohui rushed out, knelt at my feet and wept silently.I helped her up, and tears were about to come out again. I haven't seen her in eighteen years, but when we meet again, it's like this.The eighth elder brother told the girl: "Go fetch water and help the girl to wipe her face."

After wiping my face, I put on some rouge and said to myself, don't let my sister leave without peace of mind, let her leave with peace of mind!Squeezing out a smile, he asked Eighth Brother: "Is this okay?" He nodded and said, "It's okay." I took a few deep breaths and entered my sister's room.She waved her hand to make all the maids serving on the side back out, knelt in front of her sister's bed, and called out in a low voice: "Sister!" After shouting a few times, my sister slowly opened her eyes, saw that it was me, and said with a sweet smile: "I am Are you dreaming?" I leaned closer, pressed my face against hers and said, "No."

My sister sighed softly: "I just dreamed about Er Niang." I followed her and asked, "What did Er Niang say?" She said: "E Niang just smiled, and she smiled beautifully. She often smiles like that." I leaned my head against my sister and said, "It's extremely beautiful." My sister said: "You started talking nonsense again. You were only born when Er Niang went, how can you remember Er Niang's appearance?" I rubbed her face and said: "Er Niang is not partial, if you can dream it, I naturally will too. I can dream." My sister smiled and said, "Come up and lie down with me, I have a lot to say to you."

I hurriedly took off my shoes and lay down next to my sister.My sister sighed softly: "I know I will see Erniang soon." I hugged her and called out in a deep voice, "Sister." My sister murmured, "Do you still remember Northwest?" I said: " I remember! How could I forget?" My sister closed her eyes and said, "I have never liked the city of Beijing. I don't like it at all. Every time I close my eyes, I can see the vast Gobi desert in the northwest, the snow-capped mountains and melted water shining silver in the sun, and the long the red willow, and the camel thorn that often scratches my skirt." I said, "There are also sand dates that are unpalatable, but I always want to eat them." My sister smiled and said, "Yes! I can't help but want to eat it, but I regret it as soon as I eat it, and it tastes nothing in my mouth." I said: "I still miss the grapes over there."

My sister laughed and said, "Can the grapes in Beijing be counted as grapes? Not to mention the thick skin, they are not sweet enough." Sweet. The skin has already melted." The two sisters laughed softly. "When I left, I always thought I would have a chance to go back, but unexpectedly it was a farewell." My sister said in a sad tone, "It's been more than twenty years." I hugged her tightly, holding back tears . "Sister, don't be sad. I'm actually very happy now, really happy, and I'm about to see Erniang and Qingshan." I said, "Qingshan?" Then I realized that it was the person my sister always pretended to be in her heart.She looked at me with a side smile and asked, "Do you still remember him?" I hurriedly said, "Yes."

My sister smiled and said, "I'm stupid again, but how can anyone who has seen him forget him?" I smiled and said, "Yes!" My sister sighed lightly and closed her eyes. After a while, he said to himself: "I know he didn't want to teach me how to ride a horse at first. He thought I was coquettish and loved to cry. If it wasn't for my identity, he would have given up on me as an apprentice long ago. "I said: "My sister loves to cry? Why don't I know?" My sister said with a smile: "Yes! I also wondered. Er Niang left early, and I was very strong since I was a child. I never wanted to show weakness. But I don’t know why, seeing him half-smile, watching me clumsily ride a horse with a trace of mockery, I couldn’t hold back my tears, I just felt aggrieved.”

With soreness in my heart, I said with a smile: "He will definitely not laugh at my sister again!" My sister laughed and said: "Then you are wrong! When will he stop laughing at me? He grew up in the streets of Shijing, tired However, after reading some more books, his mouth is not forgiving at all, and he can always pick out faults with rough and rough statements, elegant and elegant statements." "Then sister isn't angry?" The corner of the sister's mouth was pursed into a smile, and she said for a while: "Why not angry? But he said, he just likes to see me angry, saying that it makes me look lively, like a young man. Girl, say that I usually behave in a well-behaved manner, like a delicate puppet." I saw that my sister was a little tired, so I hurriedly said: "Sister, you should sleep for a while!" My sister hurriedly opened her eyes and looked at me and said, "I still have a lot to say! These words have been hidden in my heart for many years , It will be more comfortable to say it." I smiled and said: "I have been here with you, and we will continue talking when you wake up." She closed her eyes according to her words, and suddenly opened them again, "Don't you need to go back to the palace?" I said, "I'll just stay with my sister and not go back." My sister smiled weakly and said, "Such an unruly thing , Your Majesty will agree, and I can leave with confidence." I smiled and said, "Don't worry, my sister, the Emperor has treated me very well, and I won't suffer any more in the future." My sister stared at me for a while, then nodded, I closed my eyes. I got out of bed gently, opened the door and went out, looking for a girl to prepare some hot tea.Seeing the eighth elder brother standing under the window with his head bowed, and seeing me coming out, he quickly turned his face away, turned around and left in a hurry without saying a word.I moved forward to chase, but stopped, what can I say?Some pain cannot be comforted by words.What's more, my consolation may simply be salt in the wound to him. Qiao Hui whispered from behind: "Miss, it's time for dinner." I shook my head, watching my sister say nothing.Qiaohui said in a low voice: "When the master wakes up later, the young lady will take care of her! The young lady should pad her stomach first! Otherwise, how can I find the strength to take care of others?" I nodded, followed Qiaohui to come out, and told the little girl to wake up just call me. Sitting on the kang watching the maids prepare vegetables, the door curtain was raised, and the tenth and fourteenth elder brothers came in.The maids hurriedly greeted them, I stared blankly at them, and when all the servants in the room had retreated, I realized that I jumped off the kang to greet them. Elder Brother Ten said: "I'm going to Khalkha in the future, and I'm afraid it will take a year or so to say goodbye to you." I raised my head and wanted to ask why, but I immediately smiled wryly, what else can I do, of course It's Yinzhen's order. Fourteen has been looking at me silently since he entered the room, and I avoided his gaze.After a while, he asked, "How are you doing now?" I nodded without saying a word.He said: "What's the matter with you following him like this? If he really wants you, he should seal you up. If he doesn't want you, he should let you out of the palace. But what are you now? Say you are a palace maid , but I heard that Gao Wuyong can only bow his head in front of you and answer, saying that you are the master, what kind of master are you?" I lowered my head and silently stared at the food on the table, Shisi sighed heavily and said, "I will never understand what is going on in your mind. You don't care about the status that is most important to women." Elder Brother Ten said: "Brother Fourteen, don't say any more, do you still think she is not bitter enough?" Elder Ten put food on my plate, "Let's eat first!" Pharynx, put down the chopsticks again. Fourteen said: "The ninth brother was sent to Xining last month, and the tenth brother will go to Mongolia the next day. I guess I should be the next one. I don't know where he plans to put me so that he can feel at ease. Ruoxi, do you want to leave the palace?" I bowed my head without saying a word, Elder Brother Ten said: "It's never a question of whether she wants or not, not only her, but also us. Now, what can we do or not do if we want or not?" Shisi leaned closer to me, put her head next to my face, stared at me and asked, "Ruoxi, do you really think about it?" I frowned and said silently for a while, "I don't know! Sometimes I think , and sometimes I can’t let go.” He sat up straight, laughed a few times, and said, "You don't want to let him go." My heart was sore and unspeakable, and the words on Fourteenth Day were my thoughts. "Miss, the master is awake." The little girl shouted outside.I hurriedly got off the kang and wanted to go, but Fourteen grabbed me and said, "Ruoxi!" I turned to look at him, and he asked, "Do you still remember what I said to you at the Huanyi Bureau?" I asked, "What did you say?" ?” He shook his head with a wry smile, sighed, let go of me and said, “It’s nothing, you can go!” I saw that his face was gloomy, and he wanted to ask clearly, but he was thinking about his sister, hesitated for a while, and hurried out of the room. As soon as she entered the door, she saw her sister sitting in front of the dressing table, and Qiaohui combed her hair.I hurried forward and asked: "Don't sister lie down and rest?" My sister smiled and pointed to several hairpins and asked me: "Which hairpin do you think looks best?" The simple jade hairpin said: "This one is good, it matches the earrings!" My sister laughed and said, "This pair of earrings was given by Qingshan. He must be very happy to see me wearing them." I inserted the hairpin for her and said with a forced smile, "I must be very happy." Qiaohui opened the box and asked, "Which outfit do you want to wear, master?" The elder sister stared at herself in the mirror and said, "That lake green riding outfit." Qiaohui looked at me hesitantly, I nodded, and she took the clothes When they came out, the two of them helped my sister get dressed. I saw that my sister was very tired, and advised: "Sister, let's have a rest!" My sister shook her head, and told Qiaohui, "There are still deerskin boots." Qiaohui hurriedly fetched them again and put them on for her sister. With my support, my sister stood and turned around in front of the mirror, and asked, "How is it?" Qiaohui and I both said, "Very good!" Helping my sister to sit back on the couch, she leaned against my arms, her face With a little smile on his face, he was in a trance silently, and murmured: "Qingshan took me to ride a horse against the rising sun in the early morning. The sunlight made me unable to open my eyes, but he laughed loudly facing the sun; my favorite When the sun was setting, the setting sun on the Gobi was extremely magnificent, half of the sky was red, he smiled and looked at me on the horse, his hair reflected the light of the sun, his whole body seemed to be standing in the flames..." I hugged my sister tightly, and she said: "Sister! I really want to go back, Qingshan must be waiting for me on a horse in the Gobi!" I took a deep breath, suppressed my tears and said, "He must be waiting for you." Sister She laughed a few times in an inaudible manner, then turned her head to look at me and said, "But I'm a little scared." I asked softly, "What are you afraid of?" My sister said, "I've been a member of the Aixinjueluo family all my life, I don't want to be their ghost anymore, but I'm afraid they won't let me go to Qingshan when I go underground." As she spoke, my sister's tears rolled down. This is Xianglin's sister-in-law's fear. My sister believes in ghosts and gods, so she looks forward to leaving happily, but because she believes in ghosts and gods, she fears that the marriage contract is also valid in the underworld, let alone a royal marriage contract.I thought about it, motioned to Qiaohui to help my sister, stood up and said, "Sister, I'll come as soon as I go." My sister grabbed the corner of my clothes and asked in surprise, "Do you want you to go back to the palace?" I shook my head and said, "I Go out for a while, and I'll be right back." My sister nodded and let go. I quickly walked out of the room, stopped the servant to ask if Master Ba was behind the study, and ran towards the study.The eunuch at the door saw me busy shouting hello, but I ignored it and rushed in. The eighth elder brother was sitting behind the table, and when he saw me startled from the chair, his face turned pale instantly. The tenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother also stood up and stared at me. I stepped forward and knelt down in front of the eighth elder brother , Kowtow three times in a row.His face softened slightly, and he turned sideways to avoid it and said, "What's the matter?" I looked up at him and said, "I beg you, my lord, to divorce my sister." The study was momentarily frozen. After a while, the eighth elder brother smiled sadly, sat back on the chair and asked, "This is Ruolan." mean?" The fourteenth elder brother said: "The abolition of the canonization of Fujin requires the emperor's decree, how can it be said that it will be suspended?" I knelt and crawled to the eighth elder brother's legs and said: "I will ask the emperor, but at this time, I will go out of the palace. It will take a long time, I just ask the prince to agree first." Brother Ba leaned back on the chair, half closed his eyes, laughed again and again, but said nothing. I looked at the eighth elder brother and begged: "My sister has been trapped in this mansion for a lifetime, and now I only worry that if I become a ghost, I am afraid that I will not be free. You always know that my sister's heart is not on you at all. They are separated by Yin and Yang. For many years, I beg you to give my sister freedom, and let her find her sweetheart with peace of mind!" The eighth elder brother's face became paler, and the tenth and fourteenth elder brothers looked blankly, looking at me and then at eighth elder brother in amazement. elder brother. The tenth elder brother stepped forward to help me, "Ruoxi, get up and talk carefully, the prince and prince Xiu Fujin is no small matter, you need the emperor's permission first, otherwise you will definitely be judged." Suddenly there were a few crisp laughs from outside the door, Ba Fujin lifted the curtain and entered with a sneer, "A crime? If you want to impose a crime, why don't you have a reason? If you really want to convict, even if you don't do anything, it can still be a crime!" Elder Brother Ten and Elder Fourteen hurriedly greeted me, and Ba Fujin stared at me for a few times, then looked at Eighth Elder Brother and begged softly, "Let Ruolan be fulfilled!" Handed the brush to Eighth Prince. The eighth elder brother took a deep breath, picked up the pen and wrote it with one stroke, got up and left the study immediately after finishing writing.Fujin read it carefully, and handed it to me who was still kneeling on the ground, "Take it!" I took the letter of divorce, and kowtowed to Fujin, "Xie Fujin!" She shook her head with a wry smile, and said coldly, "You Don't thank me, I'm just doing it for myself. I've been thinking about competing with her all my life, but unexpectedly she didn't care about it at all." She raised her head and stared at the roof, with a slightly crying voice, and said with a sarcasm: "Isn't this a big joke? I have only fought with the person I imagined all my life, and I don't want to fight with her underground again." She wants to leave, I can't wish for it, and I will send her off with joy!" After speaking, she half-raised her head, smiled, and walked out of the room quickly. Holding the divorce papers, I shed tears, for my sister and for her.She was so arrogant, did she think that if she looked up, there would be no tears falling? "Prince Lian, Aixinjueluo Yunyu, who wrote the book, was ordered to marry the Martai family in his early years. After passing through the family, he would have nothing to do for many years. It is just in line with the rule of seven. This letter of divorce is issued, allowing remarriage and remarriage. No objection. The thirteenth day of the first month of the first year of Yongzheng" I put my arms around my sister and read it word by word to my sister. My sister was full of joy and disbelief after hearing it. She took the divorce letter and read it carefully, and asked, "Is it really written by the prince?" I said: "Do I still dare to lie to my sister?" The sister pressed the divorce letter to her chest, smiled slightly, and sighed: "Qingshan, have you seen it? I am no longer from the Aixinjueluo family, so I came here , I want to see the red willow we planted together, and drink a few mouthfuls of melted water from the snow-capped mountains, and we will ride horses to the sky..." The voice became lower and lower, and in the extreme silence, my sister's hand on her chest slowly slipped down, and the divorce letter floated down to the ground.
