The side concubine's car sat down about the same as the side Fujin's, but it was more spacious and more stable to walk. The red top and red cover are red and the red is red, and the concubine is a red sedan chair and a yellow sedan chair.

The place is big, and there are still two people sitting there, her and the jade bottle.

She sat on the couch in the car, holding the fourth master's cloak in her arms. Just now, she came out directly in her cloak and got into the car, holding her cloak in her arms. I'm going to change it when I get out of the car in a while.

She regretfully touched the hem of the cloak that had just been dragged to the ground: "It's all dirty." No matter how clean the yard is, it is still stained with dirt, her height is a head lower than that of the fourth master, and she wears his cloak, and she is at least three inches dragging on the ground.

The jade bottle took a soft breath. When Fu Jin came just now, the atmosphere in Jiuzhou Qingyan was not ordinary. As a result, their master said this sentence after getting in the car, as if he didn't take it to heart at all.

She followed her master's words: "Don't be afraid, they have swept the yard several times, just turn around and dust it." ”

Li Wei's hand unconsciously stroked in the fourth master's cloak, and mumbled. The sound of horses' hooves outside the car kicked and trampled, there were four masters and thirteen masters, as well as Honghui and Hongyi.

Out of the gate, the fourth master looked back at the several mule carts behind him, and told Hongyu: "Be careful on the road, remember to say hello when you meet uncles and uncles." Don't miss the courtesy. ”

Hongyu dismounted and respectfully led the training, "Yes, Amma." ”

Honghui also got out of the car and patted him on the shoulder.

Hongyu smiled at him and slapped him on the arm twice.

The fourth master watched the two brothers patting back and forth, and Thirteen hung his head as if he was tired, and his eyes did not sweep this way at all.

After Honghui got on the horse, Honghui saw them off, and then got on the horse and said to Amba: "Let's go." ”

Amba turned around and shouted, "Let's go!" ”

On the car of Fujin, who was at the front, the coachman flicked his whip empty, snapped a few crisp sounds, and the four mules and horses moved their hooves together, and the car moved forward slowly.

……

In Yonghe Palace, Li Wei only wore a cotton robe and a lambskin coat and sat behind Fujin, listening to all kinds of gossip. The Spring Festival is a good time to exchange gossip, and all kinds of palace gossip will come out like a blowout, and Li Wei only needs to bring her ears.

The only discordant note this year is that Concubine Liang is gone. It was on the morning of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and as soon as they entered the palace, they lined up to kneel, and whispers began to circulate in the procession.

When it came to her, she knew that Concubine Liang had lost her breath last night.

The team was so lively because everyone couldn't figure out whether to hurry back home and change clothes to come to the funeral. But when it was time to kneel, the eunuch came out as usual to pass the word, they still knelt as usual, and returned to Yonghe Palace after kneeling, and Concubine De confirmed the news that Concubine Liang was indeed gone.

"I heard it was last night." Concubine De's eyes were red.

Concubine Cheng also wiped her tears: "It's really ...... She's still young......"

Everyone in the first hall is sad for Concubine Liang, Li Wei also bows her head and wipes her tears from kindness, it doesn't matter if there are tears or not, what matters is the posture. Anyway, no one in the hall looked up at this time, and everyone bowed their heads.

After sighing for Concubine Liang for a quarter of an hour, Concubine De and Concubine Cheng got up to wash their faces and make up, and when they came out, Concubine De smiled and said: "Look at me, talking about this at a good time for the New Year, it made you all cry with me." ”

Everyone immediately said that they knew that Concubine Liang's affairs were so shocking and sad, and Concubine De's mother was so affectionate and righteous, and they were so moved.

Concubine De smiled: "Let's talk about something happy." Then he turned his head and asked about the marriage of Honghui and Hongshu, which one did he point to, I have heard/seen that girl, she is a good girl.

Fu Jin was still relatively happy at this time, and Qi Fu Jin was a little cold. Fortunately, Concubine De just congratulated her, Qifujin quickly got up and thanked Niangniang for her inquiry, and then Concubine Cheng began to say that Hongshu was a good child, and he couldn't pull the bow when he was a child, and he cried, so Lao Qi comforted him. It is the father's kindness and the son's filial piety.

Concubine De sighed: "Now we are all going to enjoy the blessings of our children and grandchildren." ”

"yes, but I'm still young." Cheng Concubine said with a smile.

Knowing that it was a boast, Concubine De was still happy, and said, "What's the matter, I'm bigger than you." ”

Cheng Concubine said: "Niangniang was born earlier than me, and she looks younger than me." ”

This is true. Concubine Cheng looks ten years older than Concubine De, although her face was also coated with powder and rouge during the New Year, but it was like floating on her face, it was very fake at first glance, and her hands were also exposed. And Concubine De, who is sitting at the top, has a graceful posture, and her age can be seen at a glance, but her complexion is much better than that of Concubine Cheng.

Concubine Cheng sacrificed herself to support Concubine De, and she was really happy to praise Concubine De.

Concubine De was not happy in vain, and when she sat down to wipe the cards, she lit the cannon and let Concubine Cheng win several handfuls. Concubine De took out the new jewelry and clothing made this year as the head of the lottery and lost to Concubine Cheng.

Li Wei can accompany the cards next to her this year, which is already quite a face-saving position. When I saw this scene, I admired Concubine De very much.

No wonder she has been standing in the palace for decades, and she can tolerate her like this in the face of Cheng Concubine, an unfavored concubine who looks up to her. Cheng Concubine praised her like that, and she had to find a way to coax Cheng Concubine again.

The jewelry and clothes that were taken out looked like they were needed by the concubines. It's really not once or two to watch people cook in the Internal Affairs Office, and the body of the concubine who came out for the New Year looks very careful, but the new clothes are still the old clothes, everyone here can see it.

Li Wei never thought that clothes could make people see bleak, and the concubines she met after entering the palace could tell whether they were favored or unfavored just from their clothes. It's hard to hear the words "Respect Luo Yi first and then respect people", but when you can't recognize who it is, clothes are really an obvious weather vane.

There are many times when there are bleak concubines, and there are few bright times.

Li Wei has entered the palace so many times, and I heard that the slightly better jewelry and clothes on Concubine Cheng were given by Concubine De.

Concubine De didn't count if she gave it, and she didn't want to embarrass Concubine Cheng. has the things ahead, and then pretends to 'lose the card' to her, if there are no these two things, Li Wei estimates that Concubine De may give things under the reason of the happy event of Hongshu's marriage.

Concubine De is too thoughtful in doing things.

Li Wei couldn't help but think, if she was Concubine De, could she be so thoughtful?

After thinking about it for a while, she felt tired, no, it was too hard to pass like this. If she wants to be so kind to Cheng Concubine, the only possibility is that she is better with Cheng Concubine. Otherwise, like the Song family and others who were placed in the mansion by the fourth master, she would rather respect Yuanzhi than develop a friendship with them.

The loss of Concubine Liang is like a small stone falling into a deep pool, only hearing the sound and not seeing, and then there is no trace. It's also very serious to say, on a good day for the New Year, the Queen Mother's health is not good, and she can't make the people above sad for this.

There was no movement on the other side of Changchun Garden. It is said that when the concubine dies, as long as there is no major fault, the emperor will definitely have one or two comforts. or to his family, if to his people. In short, I want to praise two sentences, and I'm sad to signal that you're gone. Just like the thirteenth Eniang Zhang Jia, she was a concubine when she was alive, and she was posthumously named a concubine after her death, and she was buried with a concubine ceremony.

Concubine Liang didn't have a decree here, and the emperor didn't say anything. It's just silently converged.

After hearing the news of Concubine Liang's death, the eighth master fell seriously ill.

But neither of these events caused much shock. Compared with this, it is a happy event that the concubine Shi is pregnant in Changchun Garden.

There was news at the beginning of February, I heard that the emperor was overjoyed, so the fourth master also hurried to Changchun Garden to congratulate him, and came back to hear him say that half of the people in the capital had gone. Until June, the governor of Yunnan said that he had heard a good news on the excerpt of the invitation, and the servants congratulated the saint on Yunyun.

The thirteenth master insisted on going to Changchun Garden to kowtow to fifteen, and Li Wei was tired for him. How cold it was during the New Year, I came over before dawn every day, dressed up neatly and followed the fourth master to Changchun Garden, the fourth master went in, he respectfully kowtowed and knocked at the gate of the garden, in front of so many people in and out.

Long Keduo bumped into him a few times, and he came up to say hello quite politely.

"Thirteenth Master, okay? What are you doing standing here? What a cold day. ”

Thirteen smiled politely at him, didn't say a word of nonsense, and left after knocking himself.

This was all gossip by Su Peisheng, who was watching the car outside the garden, and Li Wei found out that in matters that had nothing to do with the fourth master, Father-in-law Su was also quite talkative. Xuelong Keduo learned so vividly that people especially wanted to beat him.

When the year is over, the thirteenth master seems to be addicted to kowtow and go every day. He doesn't have to run errands now, and no one doesn't tell him to leave the house. He went to the gate of Changchun Garden every day to kowtow, and he couldn't move the thunder, and he was more punctual than going to work.

After Li Wei heard this, she felt that the Thirteenth Master was like this, it was too humble.

The fourth master said: "Thirteen, this is grown up." ”

He closed the book and sighed: "He knocks like this day by day, and everyone who enters and leaves Changchun Garden has seen it." How many adults enter through the door early in the morning? saw that a sentence and a half leaked into the emperor's ears, and he didn't knock in vain. ”

"He's not afraid that no one will speak for him?" She asked, but after asking, she felt like she was two. The emperor himself didn't say anything, and everyone below guessed what the emperor meant. The emperor also rewarded thirteen imperial villages, and some people will definitely wonder if the emperor is soft-hearted? Thinking of this son again?

Compared with the sons who have grown up in front of them, the younger sons are all very loved by the emperor. Just like the few in the palace, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, and even twenty elder brothers, they often go down to the study here, and ask the emperor to take them into Changchun Garden.

It is said that the youngest son, the eldest grandson, the lifeblood of the elderly. The emperor doesn't have to hurt his grandson, his own youngest son can't stop hurting.

The fourth master really smiled, and touched her chin lightly: "What do you say?" ”

She glanced at him, leaned on him and gnawed his ears, gnawing his head and raising a flag, so she laughed while gnawing, he also laughed, and rolled into the couch with her in his arms: "It's grinding again." ”

At the gate of Changchun Garden, Thirteen knelt there and finished today's share, and Liang Jiugong, who had been standing aside for a long time, finally walked over to him today and said respectfully: "Thirteenth Master, Long Live Lord asked you to go in." ”

In an instant, Thirteen forgot to stand up, so he knelt down and wanted to give Liang Jiugong a beating, but Liang Jiugong was hugged and put up.

Liang Jiugong laughed: "Thirteenth Master, let's go in with the minions." ”

Thirteen felt that he was wrong at this moment, he patted the soil on his knees, and hesitated: "Father-in-law Liang, why don't I go back to the house to change my clothes?" ”

But when Liang Jiugong saw it, he knew that he had said something stupid.

Liang Jiugong bent down and slapped him on the leg a few times, and after patting the floating soil off, he said: "Thirteenth master, let's go, the emperor is seeing his son, when you climbed the Taiping tank and got wet with water and grass when you were a child, the emperor was not angry with you." ”

Yinxiang's eyes were damp immediately, and he blinked desperately a few times, but he couldn't say a word.

Walking in with Liang Jiugong all the way, he was one foot deep and one foot shallow, feeling like he was dreaming.

In the Qingxi Book House, Kangxi was leaning on the pillow, holding a book in his hand. The sunlight from the window poured in and poured on the tiles, about a foot away from his couch.

He can't read the book anymore, even the name on the cover he can't read clearly. However, he still used to hold a book in his hand when he sitting, and he always felt that something was missing when he didn't hold it, and he felt uneasy.

It's quiet inside and outside the house, and occasionally you can hear the birdsong in the trees outside, which is crisp and pleasant.

Along the corridor, two hurried footsteps were heard. The one who followed behind felt a little stumbling, and he stumbled. When he reached the door, he heard the footsteps behind him plop and kneel, followed by the familiar whimper.

By the way, it's the old thirteen.

He heard the sound of his knees touching the ground and walking towards him. Vaguely, he saw that his thirteen was wearing a lake blue regular suit, and crawled in through the door with his head down. When he got closer, he saw that his face was covered with snot and tears.

"Emperor, Emperor Ama......" Yinxiang climbed to the couch and kowtowed heavily.

Kangxi sighed, put down the book in his hand, leaned over to reach his shoulder, and Liang Jiugong hurriedly supported him beside him.

Yinxiang kept crying.

Kangxi finally patted his head and said with a wry smile: "Thirteen, look at what you look like?" First ask Liang Jiugong to take you to wash your face, and come over to talk to Ama in a while. ”

"Uh-huh!" Yinxiang nodded desperately.

Liang Jiugong hurriedly said: "Thirteenth master, the slave is waiting for you." ”

The two of them went out, and Kangxi slowly leaned back and let out a long sigh of relief.

After a while, Liang Jiugong came back with Yinxiang and saw that the emperor seemed to be asleep. The two of them took a light step, and Liang Jiugong first picked up the book that had slipped to the ground, clamped the bookmark and put it back on the table.

Yinxiang hadn't been close to Kangxi for many years, and he didn't dare to help him for a while.

Liang Jiugong stepped forward to help Kangxi lie down, and said to him: "Thirteenth master, you help the slave move the kang table." ”

Yinxiang hurriedly agreed, and carefully moved the kang table down.

There was a sudden thud behind him.

He looked back and found Liang Jiugong kneeling in front of the couch as if he had been pulled to the bone.

Kangxi was still leaning there, but the pillow behind him was satin, too slippery. He's slowly slipping out.

Yinxiang's mind suddenly went blank, and he gently reminded him for a long time: "Father-in-law Liang? Hurry up and help Huang Ama. ”

Liang Jiugong trembled, looked back at him, and his whole face was like seeing a ghost.

In the Old Summer Palace, the fourth master was hurriedly called away.

Li Wei didn't care about letting him change his clothes, and the jade bottle came over to look at the sky and said, "Go out at this point, the prince hasn't had lunch yet." ”

"......" Li Wei didn't answer, she saw the face of the fourth master just now, and she always felt her heart beating wildly.

She couldn't give up all afternoon, and she played with Hongyun to lift the golden bell too high, and he just turned over obviously out of reach, so she slapped the bed angrily and shouted at her, so she hurriedly gave him the golden bell.

Seeing him wash the golden bell with saliva, the jade bottle was surprised to find that the master didn't say 'don't lick' today.

"Master?" She asked cautiously.

Li Wei came back to her senses, "Oh, it's okay. "Take away Hongyu's golden bell, this golden bell his brothers and sisters have played. Hongyun screamed again and slapped the bed with his little arm.

Li Wei took the cloth and wiped the saliva off the golden bell and gave it to him, and he continued to lick it.

The jade bottle muttered in her heart, master, what's wrong?

Seeing her accompanying the fifth elder brother but getting distracted, it is really incomprehensible. In the past, the fifth elder brother would laugh at the slightest movement, and he would be like the fifth elder brother, as if he was talking, the fifth elder brother called, and she also learned the fifth elder brother's call.

The jade bottle thought about it, and when the fifth elder brother had enough to play and it was time to go to eat and change diapers, she brought tea to Li Wei and persuaded: "Master, the prince is going to do business, you ...... Do you want to call a storyteller to relieve your boredom? ”

Li Wei knew that the jade bottle was wrong, shook her head and sighed, "No." ”

She didn't know that Weishenme was so buoyant, a bit like working part-time before, but it turned out to be a scam before. Many people said that it might be a scam, and while she thought that she would not be so unlucky, she became more and more bottomless in her heart.

The feeling today is worse than then, it makes her restless, unable to concentrate on anything.

Soon in the evening, it was dark and the fourth master had not returned, and strangely no one was called back to deliver the letter.

The dinner was tasteless, and she only used a bowl of porridge to call it down.

At this time, Zhang Bao came in quietly.

As soon as he came in, he looked at the jade bottle and the others waiting around him. Li Wei waved them all down, leaving only her and Zhang Bao.

Zhang Bao approached and whispered, "Master Li, the nine doors outside are all sealed." ”

Li Wei sat up straight unconsciously, looked at Zhang Bao, and waited for him to continue.

The two looked at each other for a while, and she realized that Zhang Bao had come to ask her to show her.

- Should I look for her at this time?

She didn't know.

But this is clearly not the time for prevarication.

Even if she oversteps her and will be disgusted by the fourth master afterwards, she has to come up with an idea as soon as possible.

"Shut up the garden, and let it go in, and let it go out. Roll call everywhere to find out if anyone is still out and where they have gone, and those who are close will be called back quickly, and those who are far away will not be called back first. ”

Zhang Baoying got down.

She got up and called the jade bottle in: "Go and call Honghui and Hongyu to come over, I will go to Fujin now." ”

The jade bottle hurriedly said: "Master, shoulder." ”

"Don't prepare." She hurried down the steps, and the jade bottle behind her hurriedly called someone to light a lantern to catch up.

trotted all the way into Yusu Heart Hall, and Fu Jin was chanting scriptures. Li Wei walked inside while calling someone to report. Mama Zhuang wanted to stop her: "Concubine Fang, please wait, let the slave and maid report." ”

Li Wei glared at her, Grandma Zhuang's knees were weak and she almost knelt down, so she couldn't hold on, and Li Wei had already passed her in.

Yuan Ying heard the movement and came out of the Buddhist hall, and stood there watching Li Wei step in.

- How did she have the audacity to break in?

Won Ying felt an urge to ask someone to take her down and to scold her loudly.

But she held back. She understands Lee, and she is not a person who has no purpose. If she dares to break in, there is a reason.

Li Wei hurriedly greeted after approaching, and said, "Please sister, please retreat." ”

Mama Zhuang looked at Yuan Ying, she nodded, and Mama Zhuang led everyone to exit and carefully closed the door.

Li Wei got straight to the point: "The fourth master is not here, and the nine doors have been sealed just now." I sealed the garden and asked Honghui and Hongyu to go to Jiuzhou Qingyan, and now I come to invite my sister over. ”

In just a few words, I can't say how much thrilling.

Yuan Ying just wanted to sneer: "...... You sealed the garden? ”

- Who are you? Dare to seal the garden?

Last time, you sealed Jiuzhou Qingyan, this time you dare to seal the Old Summer Palace?

Li Wei met her gaze full of hatred and disgust, and said calmly: "When I see the fourth master, I will ask for guilt." Now let's ask my sister to go to Jiuzhou Qingyan with me. ”l3l4
