Due to the prince's illness, Kangxi urgently summoned Suo Etu, who stayed in Beijing, to help take care of him, I thought that he would definitely stay behind after caring for the prince, and he actually continued to move forward with a group of people after two days, which shows that the prince is really about to lose power.

Traveling to Jinan, what Lao Kang did was even more incomprehensible, and he actually ordered Yinxiang to go to Mount Tai alone to worship, but he took Yinzhen to see Baotu Spring. Xiaoyan and I followed them, unable to guess the meaning, so we could only be cautious.

For Yinxiang's sacrifice to Mount Tai, Yinzhen didn't seem to care, and before leaving, he smiled and asked his younger brother to come back cautiously early. I looked at him suspiciously, only to feel that he was not as cautious as people think, at least not for Yinxiang.

The water vapor on the water surface is curling, like a thin layer of smoke, with the pavilion next to the painted carved beams and painted buildings, the clouds and fog are moistened, and there is a feeling of fairyland on earth. The breeze blows, and the spring water is crystal clear, and this scene is really dozens of times more beautiful than what you see in modern times.

On this day, Baotu Spring is very powerful, it is surging, there are at least four or five stories high under the visual inspection, and I am scared that I have always thought that more than 20 meters is a myth, and the person who has a small bungalow on the ground has completely changed the disdain and even great disrespect for the first spring in the world.

Kangxi stood in the Guanlan Pavilion on the west side and looked at the railing, and pointed to the southeast for a long time before he pointed to me and Xiaoyan and said: "Two girls go around, it's rare to follow me out to tour the south, don't say that I will only call you, and I won't let you play in the mountains and rivers." ”

Xiaoyan and I hurriedly whispered and exited the pavilion, Kangxi had turned around and sat on the fence chair, and Yinzhen stood beside him. It wasn't until we walked through the corridor to the east of the Laihe Bridge that we saw him pointing to the side and asking Yinzhen to sit down.

I don't know what he wants to say to Yinzhen, I was still stunned when I looked at the high spring water, and Xiaoyan actually whispered a wicked smile in my ear, "Baotu soared into the air...... No wonder men like to come to see Baotu Spring, it's really not an ordinary NB, it's too powerful. ”

I looked around in horror, but there was no one but the sound of the spring gushing and her unhealthy laughter. I couldn't help but push her little face away, and walked under the bridge in disgust and bent over to touch the spring, as usual, the same warmth for hundreds of years.

Xiaoyan squatted beside me, still smiling, "Don't you taste it yet?"

I picked up a few drops of spring water and put it to my mouth, nodded and replied: "The luscious and abnormal, not comparable to later generations, but I don't know if you have been foul spoken by you, so that future generations will never be able to taste such a delicious spring again." ”

"I'm ......" Xiaoyan picked up the spring water casually, gritted his teeth and whispered, "You have given birth to three dolls, and you dare to pretend to be pure with me, not to mention that you and your man just chat with the quilt every day." On the grassland, why are you sick, when I don't know, you are not ashamed of what you do, and what I say has become foul language. ”

My face was instantly wet, and the mist on the water surface blew in the wind, and I couldn't feel any warmth. I shuddered, and the handkerchief of filial piety had been wiped on my face, and I smiled and said in my mouth, "I really didn't mean it, you don't want to be weak like the prince, if you also get cold, Yinxiang will have to kill me when he comes back." ”

Pulled the handkerchief in her hand and stood up to wipe off the water traces, looked at the father and son who were still talking in the pavilion, and reluctantly turned around and fought back, "Don't pretend to be pitiful and virtuous for me, now he is reluctant to move you, except for eating tofu, that is still what you want." When I didn't see it, I didn't even look at me before leaving, so I almost tied you to Mount Tai and took you to Taishan, so that I could be a pair of apes at ease. It's a pity that he can't see this sudden sky, and he can't understand your hundred claws scratching his heart, so he can only stay on Mount Tai alone, and he can't sleep alone. ”

Xiaoyan's ability to resist blows is always stronger than mine, his face is not red, he is not panting, he is half happy and half disappointed, and muttered: "I want to too, but the emperor Lao Tzu, who pesters your man and keeps talking, won't let me." You say, this ancient is much more open than modern times, how many girls can do things with the male master, why don't you fulfill me sooner for Mao?"

Lao Kang, who was resented, stood up at the right time and beckoned to us, and Xiaoyan stared at me with big eyes as if he was frightened, as if to say, "It's not so evil."

I patted her on the shoulder, persuaded her gently, and walked to the pavilion, "Your identity is Chang Fujin, the future heroine, or it is more suitable for you to continue to pretend to be docile, and my brother can rest assured." ”

~~~

When Yinzhen came back, he quietly read and wrote in the room, occasionally copying scriptures and turning the string of red sandalwood beads in his hand, and occasionally chatting and drinking tea with Kangxi. The father and son are no longer busy with family and country affairs, they look very leisurely, sometimes the two sit in the pavilion of the palace and play chess, sometimes they talk about Buddhism and Taoism, the two have remarks to each other, a warm picture of father and son's filial piety.

Due to the prince's illness, even if we stayed in Jinan for a long time, Xiaoyan and I still stayed in the room obediently, not daring to wander around the street.

When Yinxiang rushed back from Mount Tai, it was the twenty-first day of October, and he arrived with him, as well as the prince and Suo Etu's recital, saying that the symptoms had improved a lot, and Kangxi replied to ask them to return to Beijing first.

Xiaoyan and I were allowed by Kangxi to sit at the same table and have a so-called family meal. No one at the table spoke, but Kangxi asked Li Dequan to prepare some wine and asked the juniors to accompany him to drink.

Kangxi chatted with Yinxiang about the trip to Mount Tai, and told him about the wonders of Baotu Spring with Yinzhen, I mistakenly thought that the prince's illness was a beautiful misunderstanding, and eating at the same table with the emperor in front of me was more like an illusion.

I heard Kangxi's voice calling me, I hurriedly put down my chopsticks and looked up, Kangxi put down the wine glass and shook his head, and then slowly said to me: "The fourth family, I have responded to you that day, if you give birth to a son, I will take you to see the three pools of the West Lake. But now, I'm going to break my promise. ”

I hurriedly got up and knelt on the ground, carefully replying, "Huang Ama, the courtier's daughter-in-law is panicking." It is the duty of a daughter-in-law to have children for the fourth master, and it is a matter of course, so I dare not ask for a reward. It is the love of the emperor that can make the courtiers and daughters-in-law fortunate enough to follow you to Shandong and see the beautiful scenery of the world's first spring, which is already flattered, and dare not expect more. ”

"Get up, this is not in the palace, it is said to be a family banquet. Although Kangxi's voice sounded gentle, it was a little helpless, and when I stood up and sat back on the stool, I heard him continue: "If I remember correctly, today is your birthday. When you entered the palace, you were only ten years old, thin and small, and you couldn't bear to say anything when you were homesick. Or on your birthday, you served me tea with red eyes...... In the blink of an eye, you have been married to the fourth child for ten years. Very good. ”

I heard Kangxi whisper, although the ten-year-old homesick little girl in his mouth was not me, but he couldn't help but wet his eyes, and he only felt that this emperor was really old. is about to enter the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, but when he saw that the prince who had always loved him was sick, he finally taught his sons to be dragons and phoenixes among people, but he dyed his sideburns white, and watched them fight secretly clearly. At this time, I began to softly remember the past.

No one dared to interject, they all listened silently, Kangxi was still saying slowly, "In the past few days, you have stayed in this palace for a long time, for a while, let the fourth child take you around Jinan Mansion, and the thirteenth child will also take your future daughter-in-law out to have fun." Early tomorrow morning, they will all return to Beijing with me. ”

I looked at Yinzhen, he looked at Yinxiang again, and Xiaoyan sat next to me with his head bowed. Yin Zhen was about to speak, but was stopped by Kangxi raising his hand.

Kangxi stood up and walked out of the hall door, standing under the corridor and looking at the north, Li Dequan stood behind him, bowing his head.

I whispered to Yinzhen, and when he nodded, he went out and knelt at Kangxi's feet, "Huang Ama, the wind is blowing, and the daughter-in-law also asks Huang Ama to move to the study." Although more than ten years have passed, the minister's daughter-in-law has the courage to serve tea to the emperor Ama Yanmo. It just so happened that a few days ago, I took some spring water from Baotu Spring and used it to make tea, which made it taste more fragrant. ”

Kangxi glanced sideways at me, then turned back to look at the gray-blue northern sky, I waited for a while, only to see the corners of his lips slightly raised, and he spit out a word, "Okay." ”

I followed him for a few steps, Kangxi suddenly stopped, turned around and shouted at the dining room: "What about the fourth and thirteenth children? ”

Yinzhen and Yinxiang quickly stepped out of the threshold and walked towards us, Kangxi turned around and motioned for me to continue walking, and said as he walked: "Your fourth child's handwriting is the most similar to me, and it is also the best writing, the old thirteen has practiced well in recent years, and the other is the old fourteen." It's a pity he didn't come, otherwise, the three of them would have written it to me together. ”

It's really old, like a child.

I lowered my head and laughed softly, pretending to challenge Huang Wei briskly, "Huang Ama is right, the fourteenth is teaching the new daughter-in-law to practice calligraphy in the Elder Brother's Mansion at this time, you have to punish him when you go back, and let him write a hundred articles and send them to you." ”

"Haha. Kangxi twisted his beard, which was still in the prime of life, walked briskly, pointed his fingers at me and explained with a smile, "That's right, when you return to Beijing, you, as a sister-in-law, will personally go to sue him, and let him write it and send it to me." ”

In such a quiet afternoon, there were fathers and sons, no monarchs and ministers, only the fragrance of tea and ink.

Such a scene will make people forget a lot of things, but they will also remember some things more deeply and firmly. For example, the majestic palace far away in the capital is still the real existence of red bricks and golden tiles, standing in everyone's hearts, and it can't be removed.

On the morning of October 22, the genius was slightly bright, and with the rising sun, he set sail back to Beijing.

Everyone was dyed orange and red, and Yinzhen and I stood at the stern of the boat, looking at the top of Mount Tai that was gradually moving away, and looking at the West Lake of Hangzhou, which was even more distant and impossible to see.

The wind blew off the melon skin hat on my head and held it in Yinzhen's hand, he looked at me and said that one day he would take me to see it himself, but I just lowered my head and smiled. The palm of his hand is ironed against his temperature, it is very warm, and it is enough to know that he has a heart.

The heart is always like an arrow, and in just five days, he arrived in the capital.

For the first time in my life, I died with the emperor's southern tour, and there were no three pools of water and clouds with the moon, but I got a romantic promise that would not be fulfilled, and my heart was still happy. Of course, there is also Yinxiang's happiness, and he and Xiaoyan have followed the hearts and minds of those who have not missed for three hundred years.
