At the end of June, I had no time to care about Nian's life or death, so I asked Li Fu to add people to serve him, so I followed Yinzhen to the Old Summer Palace.

Kangxi's body seems to be better, and he wants to come to the garden to sit again. Or is it grace or something else, the divine will is unpredictable.

Everyone is busy and prepared.

As soon as he was ready, even the Nian clan was received in the garden, and after waiting for a few days for the emperor to arrive, he was still in a royal style, and Li Dequan was careful to support him.

I and a group of female dependents knelt behind Yinzhen, as well as children and grandchildren, not counting the servants who dragged nearly 20 people with their families.

The ripples on the surface of the lake gradually push away, and the branches and willows hanging on the shore are green into the water, charming from the wind.

It's like there's no end in sight.

Occasionally stop and stand, look at the distant mountains, point to the flowers and trees at your feet, and stop for time with a word. Those Buddhist proverbs are eloquent, listen to the ears, this life is not as if turning back to the past and going again, I don't know how many years have been wasted, and I have been here to listen to the two generations of emperors to penetrate the Buddha and demons, and fall into the red dust.

Looking at Yinxiang, who was also following behind him, I don't know when he arrived in Beijing, no one came to sue me, maybe he just came back.

When I saw it today, it was like a world away. I still had to look up and see that he stood tall like a soldier in any life, but he didn't look down at the road and glance at his right leg, which was better than when he entered the summer resort last year, and that's it.

Our lives have already been decided, and when we first come here, no one can change it. He's more free than I am.

After lunch, Kangxi did not leave, took Yinzhen Yinxiang and a group of grandchildren on the boat, swam in the middle of the lake, hidden in a place where the wind blew, and did not know where to go.

I instructed everyone to go back and rest, and asked Li Fu to watch as much as he could, and hugged Nian'er and sat in front of the half-covered window on the east side of Kyushu Qingyan. She slept soundly, and I gently patted the mist of the water.

Kangxi took Hongli by his side when he left, and the kid looked at me with a wink, but I only remembered his golden words from Emperor Marfa.

"On the same day, I took Hongli into the palace, and followed me around. Those masters are all punished, I will teach them. ”

Somewhere in the heart, it burned, and it hurt so much that I couldn't hold it down. I looked at Hongli, he no longer blinked at me, his eyes shining like a small piece of duckweed floating in the middle of the lake in the afternoon, with the gentle breeze, I couldn't catch it.

The flowers in the mirror, the moon in the water, about that.

Yin Zhen, who had covered most of the daylight in front of him, lowered his ground, the black gauze ** hat was fixed in front of him, and the golden tassels with braided tails shook a few times and hung down behind him. In the bright light, I squinted my eyes and knelt down with him to bow my head and thank him, supreme grace.

I don't have time to remember the very short period of mother-son blind date hidden in my heart, in addition to this young son, I also have Hongwan, and Honghui. His marriage does not need to be delayed any longer, the small courtyard is warm and simple, and he does not beat gongs and drums or blow the suona that blows on the top of his head and shocks his eardrums. I was afraid that the weeping wails led countless white flags, and I couldn't hear the slightest sense of festivity.

It is these people, family and friends, who stand by the side of a couple of newlyweds, to give the best belated blessings.

Yinxiang hung a bright yellow lantern, and it was still Honghui's calf smiling and squinting his eyebrows and eyes were lifelike, and on the side was a big red docile lamb, festive and auspicious. Two lanterns were formed into one under the eaves of the new house, and the candles inside were not extinguished.

I handed back the silver ticket that Hiroshi had given me in his early years, and he personally delivered it to my brother. Honghui took it and was always smiling, and without saying much, he handed it to Agarwood and only said to put it away. Mo Han held a small brocade box and handed it to Hongwan, he didn't take it, raised his chin and signaled silently, and the two sons squeezed into the middle of the newcomer and whispered, "Uncle quickly accept it, Eniang's son Guanyin has been hidden for a long time and has not been touched by us, it is said that the spirit is very good, and I specially asked for you and your aunt." ”

Honghui patted the top of the heads of the two boys and laughed to thank his younger siblings, and pushed forward with the agarwood, the bride's face turned red in an instant, like a wedding dress on her body, and she took the brocade box and the purse in her hand together, bowed her head and smiled.

Nian'er lay on Yinzhen's lap and carefully touched Yongxuan's face with her fingers, staring at the inky blue eyes, and sighed and withdrew her hand buried in her chest, only two thin soft braids on her shoulders could be seen, tied with two golden ribbons. Her Marfa picked up her grandson, who was standing next to her lap, and placed it on her lap, two pairs of big eyes that looked like each other staring at each other and leaning against each other in Yinzhen's arms.

Hongwan sat on the side and covered his mouth and smiled straight to Xiao He, I also watched them laugh, like Yinzhen no longer laughed and needed to make any sound, and he could laugh to his heart with only his eyes.

The children are still there, but one less is not around, such a full house of children and grandchildren is like a small gap in my heart, but I can't help but feel happy. I don't know their future except for Hongli, but they are all happy and maybe will live a long life.

Just like Yan Yu married Su Changqing, who would have guessed that such a girl in the mansion could marry a young imperial doctor who was once in the limelight, and who would have expected that their daughter would marry the eldest son of the prince, and the marriage that is different from the world only for each other is also happy.

Times are changing, always changing, and unexpected. There are always some things that the heart desires, change or remain unchanged, such as happiness and such simple things, in the hand to know how much to give, and only you know what to exchange.

Before leaving, the small courtyard that had been lively for an afternoon finally fell silent, and under the bright moonlight, only two connected lanterns were hung in front of the door of the new house, swaying in the wind to illuminate a door, and walking into a new life.

Honghui, who has a wife, no longer has to be alone outside the wings that we can't take care of at all times, and he will no longer endure without crying but silently let tears roll down his eyes like when he was young, he has long grown up and knows how to take care of others, even me and Yinzhen. There was a more important person in his life, and from today onwards he spent the morning and dusk with him day and night, and he waited for seventeen years, not the end, but the beginning of another.

Yinzhen's palm is a golden yellow, and the long tassel hangs down in his hand and sways with the wind, Honghui and I don't know why. He personally tied it to the Huizi jade plate that Kangxi rewarded that year, and tied it around Honghui's waist, and the wedding robe was even more red and glamorous at night.

Can you take it out? I'm not afraid to show it.

This is Kangxi's congratulatory gift as a grandfather?

It is always me who endures the distress and says that the marriage will be delayed again, but his fourth child is the one who gives gifts on behalf of his father.

Standing beside me, I couldn't hear what Yinzhen said to him, Honghui was stunned and laughed again, kneeling in the courtyard and bowing to the direction of the palace.

The tail end of the tassel, which was not exquisitely handmade, was on the ground with his movements, Kangxi ...... His heart is always hard to guess, but on such a cool early autumn evening, it warms people's hearts.

I looked at Yinzhen's back and looked at the direction of the palace he was also looking at. The so-called bloodline, that's it.

~~~

At noon on July 20, Zhong gave birth to a son for Hongshi.

Lance and I sat in the main hall, and his wife was waiting in the courtyard.

In this year, there have been many happy events. It is unimaginable that it will be 60 years of Kangxi. It's peaceful.

At the end of the month, I was in the house, and Yinzhen was going out with Kangxi again, saying that he was going to Xingwei and several brothers such as Yinzhi and Yinxi. Such days are rare, and such travel hunting has rarely been seen for many years. I packed my clothes, books, bows, arrows, swords, and daggers and sent him out of the house, I don't know when I will come back, I hope this time I don't rush too much time to go, I'm not afraid to wait.

Sometimes, waiting is also a kind of happiness and reassuring.

At the beginning of September, Yinzhen returned home, brought a few pieces of fox skin and carried a cage of rabbits, each child was divided into one, and even left one for Honghui and Agarwood, and the mother and son would not be left behind. Hongtian stood behind his nephew and grinned, and I picked a pure white one and sent it to him, like the warm white around his neck. He laughs, and I laugh.

Hongday, it doesn't matter whose child it is, he is kind-hearted, smart and sensitive, he is Yinzhen's son, and mine, Hongli's brother.

The children all like rabbits, I don't know if I have a ...... in the Hongli He is a rabbit, just like Hongday.

I chose a piece of blue fox fur with black fur tips, like the kind that Yinzhen often wears on his body, and sewed two identical heart guards, one was handed over to Qi Zheng, and the other was given to Yinzhen, asking him to give it to Hongli when he entered the palace. It's going to be cold, and the earth dragon stove in the palace is always the best, accompanied by Kangxi...... Can't resist Eniang.

Occasionally enter the palace, but it is difficult to see. I want to see if he has grown taller and thinner, and how well he has learned to read and learn calligraphy, and I want to see the little cinnabar mole in his heart again, afraid that he can remember for a thousand years and forget it in that palace that will make people lost.

The Yongjin brothers have begun to learn calligraphy simply, always looking up behind Hongday, and when Hongwan came back, he ran back to his yard and grabbed a pen and paper to entangle Amma. Nian'er ran around with the rabbit cage every day, and the mama girl was still inevitably falling down after following everywhere, I pulled Mohan and watched from afar, her hand was shaking my heart too. When she stood up, she pursed her lips and smiled, staggered and ran over and threw herself into her arms, took out the rabbit from the cage and held it in her arms and stroked it carefully.

Children are always stronger than we think, because they are simpler, they can distinguish all the likes and dislikes in the world without brains and without relying on their eyes and only one heart, so they don't cry, so they always laugh.

I love my children, and their children, every single one. That kind of love and longing is all the time, sometimes more urgent than love, without asking for anything in return.

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, there was already a lively atmosphere outside the house, and the partition wall could be faintly heard, as well as those faint and indistinguishable chrysanthemum cold fragrance, I don't know how elegant the color is.

I love green, but it's rare, and it's only available in the palace. Back then, I always had to secretly pick up a few petals and turn them into a scenery on a plate, or a cup of wine on a plate.

This year, I want to go and see it again and don't want to stay in the house.

Yinzhen lay beside him and closed his eyes, I leaned on him to listen to the extremely shallow breathing, and did not respond to my words, thinking that he was asleep.

Before dawn in the morning, I got up and asked him to go to the court, busy washing and dressing, and also stayed by my side to put on court clothes for him.

"It's still early, you can sleep again, and you haven't gotten up when you enter the palace so early, it's not like words. Yin Zhen looked at the pearl I hung on his neck, raised his hand to support my face, and a smile flashed in his eyes, fast. "Wait for me at home, I won't eat in the house today, I'll come back and take you out." ”

I lowered my head and stopped talking, and when I came to the door, I heard him add another sentence in my ear, rubbing the hem of my clothes a few times with the palm behind my waist, "Change to a bright color, please be happy." Remember to call Hiroshi. ”

My son was born on that ship ten years ago, in the rain on September 9 of that year, and today ...... But his Amma asked me to dress up and take Hongyang out of the house for dinner.

In addition to the clothes and falling on the bed with my eyes closed, I always remember, remembering that year after year quickly flashed in front of my eyes, and the passage of time never stopped. In those years, his face was always a little empty, and he couldn't smile or complain, all he remembered clearly was his back, kneeling little on the floor tiles of the study, and I stood outside and glanced through the window.

Just this one glance, lingering.

He is my son, and his name is Hongli. It's his birthday, and he doesn't know it, he doesn't know anything.

It's good not to know, and to know is to have thoughts and greed. The so-called greed is to put it in the heart and can't let it go, like me.

What is destiny and where is it? No one has ever seen it with their own eyes, but they can only believe in it.
