Chapter 124: The Confusion of Catching Lots
It didn't take long for the third prince to find out that the prince was cursed, the eldest son was detained, and the prince was released. What followed was the Spring Festival of the forty-eighth year of Kangxi.
In the New Year, there is no joy in the palace, everyone is in danger, and they are cautious in their words and deeds. Before the first month, Kangxi held the ministers accountable, and the court was terrified.
Yan'er is already one year old, and on the day of the arrest of Zhou, Ruolu didn't post it, and at this moment, he closed the door and Lele. Yun Che and Jia Qi gathered a lot of good things and put them in front of Yan'er, and there were many palace people around them. Ruolu is in a good mood, and she doesn't detain them much, as long as she doesn't make trouble outside Fengyin Pavilion, she doesn't care.
I don't know if Yan Er was dazzled, or the noise around her distracted her, how Ren Ruolu and Yun Che guided, Yan Er always just touched this way, that touch, but didn't pick up an object. When Ruolu was distressed, there was a eunuch singing outside, and Kangxi arrived.
Without waiting for Ruolu to pick up Yan'er, Kangxi and the others had already entered the house, and they knelt on the ground in the house.
Kangxi seemed to be in a good mood, and said with a smile: "My baby Yan'er has reached the age of drawing lots?" If you girl, such a big thing, don't you come to inform me? As he spoke, he took Yan'er from Ruolu's arms and teased him
Ruo Lu smiled lightly: "Yan'er is not sensible yet, Ruo Lu is afraid that she will annoy the emperor, so she doesn't dare to disturb you." ”
"What did you catch?" Kangxi didn't care, and glanced at the objects on the table.
Ruolu shook his head and said, "Just as the lot is being drawn, the emperor is coming." ”
"Oh?" Kangxi looked at the baby who was holding his beard in his arms and refused to let go, and said with a smile, "Come, Huang Mafa will see what kind of talent our Yan'er will be in the future?" With that, Kangxi put Yan'er on the table again.
Yan Er didn't know if she understood Kangxi's words, so she really looked around, and her appearance was more than ten times more serious than Fang Cai, but she still refused to catch it.
Thanks to Kangxi's good temperament, he still smiled and watched from the side, but Ruolu was a little anxious, and leaned down and said: "Yan'er, you have to pick one here, Yan'er is good, pick a favorite, and E-Niang will give us Yan'er to play." "But Ruolu's words obviously didn't work, Yan'er, this baby is still me.
"It seems that our Yan'er doesn't look down on these." Saying that, Kangxi turned his head and said to the person behind him, "One person hits his body and takes an object for my precious granddaughter to pick!" After speaking, Kangxi first took off his wrench and put it on the table.
Kangxi took the lead, and the third belongings, the fourth beyler and others took their belongings and put them on the table. seemed to be very satisfied with everyone's actions, Yan Er actually giggled, looking at Ruolu's eyes naughty and innocent, it was really a little angel and little devil that Ruolu loved and hated.
"Yan'er, pick this and pick this, pick up your Huang Marfa's favorite wrench." Kangxi's wrench fingers Ruolu recognized, from the first time she saw Kangxi, Kangxi has been wearing it, the jade body has been ground out of the cytoplasm, but he has not seen him change, and later I heard that it was given to him by Empress Xiaozhuang Wen. It's just that Ruolu didn't expect that Kangxi would casually take out the wrench and play with Yan'er.
"Okay, you girl, but you've been thinking about my wrench for a while?" Kangxi nodded Ruolu's forehead and pretended to be angry.
Ruolu turned his head to Kangxi and smiled, played a little laipi, and said: "Your Majesty, don't you know, since you were on duty by your side, you have been itching, I don't know how valuable such a treasure should be, and now that I finally have a chance, how can I not hurry up and ask Yan'er to snatch it to open her eyes?" Isn't it Yan'er? Ruolu turned around and pressed his forehead against Yan'er's forehead, and said dotingly, "Eniang's baby!" Yan Er also waved her little arms just right, shouting, "Yes!" Want! "It seems to be in harmony with Ruolu.
"Little girl, do you know that you are facing your mother when you are so old? Huang Ma Fa hurts you in vain! Kangxi saw Yan'er's actions and scolded with a smile. Yan Er was still smiling, not taking it to heart at all.
Seeing Yan Er grabbing the wrench with one hand and a jade pendant with the other, Ruo Yu shook his head and said, "Yan Er is good, you can only take one, not two." Ruo Lu stretched out one finger for a while, and then stretched out two sticks to explain to Yan'er, but Yan'er didn't mean to let go of one hand.
Yun Che stretched out a hand and coaxed, "Little master, is it okay to give the slave maid?" Who knew that Yan'er, who was always sticking to Yun Che on weekdays, actually hugged the two babies straight into his arms, looking like "I just won't give it to you".
Ruolu couldn't take her, so she looked at Kangxi helplessly, Kangxi picked up Yan'er, laughed and said: "My Yan'er baby is Xiao Zhida, you want the baby of Huang Marfa and the fourth uncle?" Come, ask your fourth uncle, is this jade pendant reluctant? ”
Before the words fell, Sibeile hurriedly continued: "Since Yan'er likes it, just take it as a birthday gift from her son, and give it to her to play with." ”
Ruo Yu took a step forward and said, "Ruo Lu Dai Yan Xie Si Beile." ”
"Get up." Sibeile said lightly and stepped aside.
Everyone teased them, and the tenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother hugged Yan'er for a while before they all left.
In March, the crown prince was reinstated. In October, everyone was sealed, but there were eight Baylors and thirteen elder brothers.
For a while, the palace seemed to be alive again.
A few families were happy and a few worried, looking at the jade pendant in their hands, and then looking at Yan Er, who was playing happily on the bed, Ruo Yu frowned, and sighed in his heart, Sibeile must have done it on purpose, but Yan Er was still young, why did he cooperate so much, and he actually held this jade pendant and refused to let go? Isn't it really the nature of father and daughter?
"Eniang, flowers, flowers~" Ruo Lu was worried about the matter of the jade pendant, but Yan Er pushed the jade pendant to Ruo Lu, and the little fat hand gestured with the words on the jade pendant, so that Ruo Lu could see it.
"Well, Huahua ~ Peony, Peony Flower." Ruolu took the jade pendant and pointed to the pattern on it word by word.
"Good Lu'er, don't be angry, the Wu family is just a Gege who was sent by Eniang to serve, I just don't pay attention to her." At that time, she and he were in the middle of sweetness, and Concubine De saw that the Four Baylor Mansion had not come out for a long time, so she picked the Wu family from the female officials close to her and gave it to the Four Baylor. Concubine De's meaning, Sibeile naturally refutes it, Ruolu is not unclear in his heart, but he is inevitably a little angry, so he has no good words with Sibeile. The four Baylors tried every means to persuade him at that time, but Ruolu still refused to let go.
She had seen Wu's family, she was still the palace maid of the Qianqing Palace, and she was ordered to send rewards to the palace of Concubine De, Wu's young age, although it was the banner of the Han army, because Kangxi had previously given Wu's father Wu Zhuguo fan poems, it was rare to serve in Concubine De. Ruolu couldn't notice such a little girl who was not enough, but the reward of that day was a pot of flowers and plants that Ruolu had spent her time planting, no one in the Changchun Palace could guess it, but this silent little girl was in her words, Ruolu looked at her a few times - she was in her teens, her facial features already had an appearance, she could bear the delicacy of the daughter of the Han family, and she was obedient and exquisitely intelligent.
I saw it that day, Ruolu just admired and admired, and then left it behind, but after a few years, she would become the Gege of the Four Baylors! That little girl had already shown her glory back then, and now she has become a slim girl, what kind of incomprehensible thing it should be.
When I thought of this, and then saw that I was already at the age of "outdated", Ruo Lu couldn't help but taste sour, and muttered: "The fourth master's backyard has been planted with flowers, and now there is another flower in its prime, I am at this age, it has long passed the time, so don't fight for that place without self-knowledge!" ”
Sibeile didn't say much, only whispered this sentence in her ear: "With this good color of the city, the Heavenly Sect will be late and the flowers will be matched." "Does he know he loves peonies? That's why you say such things to coax yourself? Or is it just a coincidence? Either way, she was extremely useful.
The marriage of the Wu family was also lively in the Forbidden City for a while, but it was quickly replaced by the next thing due to the cold treatment of Sibeile, and gradually no one talked about it anymore. Sometimes Ruolu will blame herself, is it because of herself, a young girl, that she became a bride and was widowed? But this guilt was driven out of her mind every time she saw the four beylers, and she loved this man, and she could not tolerate more and more people sharing it with her, and she ostriches not to think that there were already many women in the house of the four beles, and she was only willing to immerse herself in the dream that she had woven only the two of them.
She knew that one day, the dream would be shattered, but she didn't know that when she decided to break this dream by herself and face the reality, it was shattered in a way she had never thought of, so that she would never have the chance to let herself control her destiny, and she would still follow fate after all.
