I don't know why, since that day of the day of the eighth Belle to give him a message to the fourteenth elder brother, Zhu Ji's heart that has been entangled in chaos has returned to its former peace.

Three days later, Kangxi issued an order, and the red satin candle flame reflected the night sky of the Fourteenth Elder Brother's Mansion, Wan Yan's family, a woman who has been in charge of the Fourteenth Elder Brother's Mansion since then, and the fourteenth Elder Brother's concubine Fujin.

From the moment he heard the words "Wan Yan", Zhu Zhen suddenly remembered that in history, the fourteenth elder brother's grandson Fujin was not surnamed Wan Yan? It's a shame that I was so frightened at the beginning, it's really a vain shock.

When I saw the fourteenth elder brother again, it was already half a month after his wedding, unlike the thirteenth elder brother, the fourteenth elder brother after the wedding was still the same temperament, and the relationship between him and the bamboo basket grew rapidly, but it could be described as "a thousand miles a day", which provoked the thirteenth elder brother to see the bamboo basket, and he couldn't help but be "sour".

The joy of the fourteenth elder brother's wedding seems to have not passed, and a layer of gloom has gradually gathered in the Forbidden City in May. The second brother of the current emperor - Prince Yu, Aixin Jueluo Fuquan - "There is a disease, and the emperor sees it every day." ”

Zhu Zhen naturally has not seen Prince Yu, after all, she works in the harem, and the princes often ask for peace with Eniang, and it is not uncommon to see him, but Prince Yu is a man from the outer court, and he rarely sets foot in the harem. Although Zhu Ji also served in the Qianqing Palace for a short time, he never saw Prince Yu come to the Maoqin Palace to see him.

Overall, her impression of Prince Yu is quite good, subconsciously, he should be a Confucian general, gentle and elegant, smiling, with a calm pace and a tolerant mind.

Babel's brows have never been wrinkled, even at this time, but Zhu Ji can see clearly, in his eyes, it is no longer plain, Fuquan is the imperial uncle who loves him very much, and the love that Fuquan gives him even exceeds his imperial ama.

Zhu Zhen knew that if there was no mistake, Fuquan, he would not live for six months, what a cruel thing, watching a person step by step towards death, but he could not do anything, not even a reminder. The bamboo hoop shuddered a little.

Babel seems to be getting busier and busier, but he will also go to the Yilan Pavilion for a short time after greeting Concubine Liang every day, or reading a book, or taking a nap. Every now and then, the bamboo basket will always serve a pot of chrysanthemum tea, thinking of a way to let Babeile pour some down, these days, he has not been less on fire, look at the eyes, faintly red, the voice is a little hoarse.

On this day, Babel came to the study, and he was a little more impatient than before, and before he entered the house, he untied his coat and threw it out, and Ming Quan, who followed behind him, hurriedly reached out to catch it. Babel threw off his coat and went out, and began to unbutton the collar of his robe again, and when the bamboo basket came out of the inner room, he saw this scene.

Seeing the bamboo basket coming out, Babeile waved his hand impatiently with Mingquan and said, "You go out first." ”

Ming Quan hurriedly said "yes", hung up Babel's gown, and then retreated.

The bamboo basket came up and asked Babel to say goodbye, and saw that Babel's collar was torn apart, where was there still the usual warm and peaceful appearance? He was even more irritable than a few days ago, and said in his heart, Prince Xu Shiyu's condition was worrying.

Babel casually called the bamboo basket up and said, "Pour the herbal tea." ”

Although the bamboo basket responded to the mouth, it was a cup of hot chrysanthemum tea.

Babel took the teacup, took a sip, then put it on the table, and said, "Didn't I ask you to bring a cold cup?" ”

Although Babeile was impatient at this time, Zhu Ji was not afraid of him, and said: "The eighth master is in full swing at this time, he should drink some hot tea to disperse the fire. ”

Babel's eyes became more and more red, and the breath around him became a little hotter, looking at the bamboo basket, there was a fire in his chest but he couldn't get out, only one "you" came out, and there was no more follow-up.

"Yikes!" Zhu Zhen wanted to persuade him a few more words, but when he saw that Babel had a nosebleed, he hurriedly untied his handkerchief and pressed Babel's nose, and while helping Babel to the basin, he twisted a cold towel and put it on Babel's forehead, telling Babel to hold it down by himself.

Nosebleeds, but what you have is experience. When I was in high school, somehow, for a while, the nosebleed was reported every day. Once, in the middle of the night, Ruo Luben slept soundly, and subconsciously felt that there was some warm liquid flowing in his nose, and before he woke up, he reflexively leaned over and poked his head out of the bed, and sure enough, he had a nosebleed again. On this big night, the nosebleed dripped on the ground drop by drop, Ruolu was dazed, and she didn't bother to care, and I don't know how long it took, she felt that it was no longer flowing, she took a tissue and wiped it in the dark, lay down and fell asleep again. On the second day, Ruolu had not yet woken up, but she heard the scream of "wow" in the upper bunk, and the child in the upper bunk used to get up early to go to the classroom for self-study, and her voice woke up the whole dormitory. If the sleepy eyes of the bird asked what was wrong, the child was vigorous, bloody, bloody...... Ruolu then remembered that he had a nosebleed last night, and when he looked under the bed, he couldn't help but gasp, there was a big pool of blood. I'm really sorry for the kid on the top bunk, she was originally timid, and this early in the morning, she gave her such a big stimulus, Ruolu hurriedly got up and cleaned up the ground. Afterwards, she also laughed and said that she should have really gotten some blood on her wrist at that time, and then threw a knife on the ground, and then pulled her arm to the side of the bed, which definitely had the feeling of a crime scene.

At that time, it was said with a smile, but now it is far away.

Seeing that the bleeding had stopped, the bamboo basket took off the towel from Babel's forehead, and served Babel with warm water to clean his face, and then wanted to turn around and change the water in the basin, but Babel pulled the bamboo basket to sit beside him, and put the hand that pulled the bamboo basket and put it on his face. Zhu Zhen was so frightened that he was about to withdraw his hand, but Babeile closed his eyes and said, "Just for a while." There was a rare lightness in his expression and tone these days, with a hint of tiredness.

The bamboo basket didn't move again, only feeling the heat in the palm of his hand gradually receding and turning into a faint temperature.

After a long while, Babel gently let go of Zhu Zong's hand, looked at Zhu Zhen and said, "Come with me to see the second uncle." ”

Zhu Zhen didn't speak, only nodded slightly. At the beginning, I also longed to see this person who was also important in the Qing Dynasty, but at that time it was just a curiosity about historical figures, but at this moment, it was more to share some of the fatigue of Babel, no matter what other times, Babel at this time was really exhausted for a sick relative, she could understand.

On the way out of the palace, Zhu Zhen did not have the first anxiety and anxiety, and there was no confusion and worry the second time, this time, she only had calm, because she didn't want the slightest mood swing to affect Babel.

Prince Yu's mansion was surprisingly busy, but surprisingly quiet, and the strange atmosphere made Zhu Zhen feel depressed. Ignoring the mountains, stones, flowers and trees, and the shadow wall corridor, the bamboo basket only walked quickly with Babeile to Prince Yu's bedroom.

The housekeeper who led the way was respectful, even if he had a side face, he could still see the anxiety and worry. Zhu Zong's heart became heavier and heavier, and it was clearly written in history that the Blessing Plenum would live until June.

Before he could enter the room, he heard a low sob, as if it were a woman. Apparently Babel also heard it, and Babel said, "But Fujin is inside?" ”

The housekeeper said respectfully: "Back to the eighth master, it's Fujin, and the slave will pass it on to you." ”

Babeile waved his hand and said, "Let's go to the side break, and ask the second uncle to have a good conversation with Fujin." ”

When the butler heard this, he hurriedly led Babel into the east side room, and served refreshments.

After the tea, the housekeeper came in and said, "Eighth master, the prince is invited." ”

Babel nodded, and followed the butler into the main room. Inside the house, a girl was waiting, but she didn't see the woman who was crying just now, and she thought about the rules, so she had already avoided it.

There was a tent in the way, and before the bamboo basket could see Fuquan's appearance clearly, he heard him say first: "Is Yinxi here?" Come and sit. ”

Babel hurriedly walked to the side of the bed, held Prince Yu's raised hand with both hands, and sat down on the round stool next to the bed, while the bamboo basket stood behind Babel. At this time, she glanced at Prince Yu, he was well taken care of, but he was very unenergetic, thinking of Babel's performance today, Zhu Ji seemed to be able to guess a few points, fortunately, she knew some history, and she still had a little bottom in her heart.

Babeile said: "The second uncle will take care of it well, don't let the second aunt cry." ”

Prince Yu smiled and said, "It's just that fate should be like this, it's not that the medicine stone can be raised." ”

Zhu Zhen didn't expect Prince Yu to be so negative, he has been on the battlefield like this, and he has experienced turmoil, shouldn't he be a person who lives and dies indifferently between laughter and conversations? Such a look is more like a person who is bent on death.

Without waiting for Babeile to persuade him again, Prince Yu waved his hand and said: "The matter of life and death is not up to anyone, so let's talk about something else." ”

Thinking about it, Babeile has not been persuaded less these days, and others have not been persuaded less, Babeile heard Prince Yu say this, and did not continue, changed the topic, and said: "I got a few sunflowers a few days ago, which I got by chance on Zhuangzi, the one-color Xuanrui saffron, which is very beautiful, and I have someone to plant it in the garden for my uncle, okay?" ”

Prince Yu smiled, very pleased, he said: "I have never seen the red petals, your second aunt doesn't know what to like, you have a heart." ”

Sunflowers? Isn't that a sunflower? There are people in this royal family who like sunflowers, but it's a bit unusual, Zhu Zhen said in his heart.

After being silent for a long time, Prince Yu said: "In the palace, are you all right?" ”

Prince Yu's words stunned Zhu Zong, and Babeile didn't see any different colors, but only smiled lightly: "It's all good." ”

Prince Yu nodded and didn't say anything more. Zhu Zhen always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it.

"Why is it not Mingquan who is following you today, but a girl?" Catching a glimpse of the Lord behind Babel, Prince Yu asked.

Babeile smiled a little deeper, and said: "It's from the Eniang Palace, and I was talking to her today, and I suddenly wanted to come and see the second uncle, so I brought her with me." ”

When Fang came in with Babel, Babel did not greet Prince Yu, and the atmosphere was a little wrong, Zhu Ji actually forgot to greet Prince Yu, and then he was named by Prince Yu, so she hurriedly moved out from behind Babel and saluted Prince Yu to say goodbye.

Prince Yu called softly, but looked at her generously. He was sick, and he was no more stressful than when he was looked at by others in the palace, even so, after all, Prince Yu was a person who had been immersed in the center of imperial power for so many years, and Zhu Zhen did not dare to be careless.

"What's your name?" These words were addressed to her.

Zhu Zhen blessed his body and said, "Go back to the prince, the slave Zakuta Zhu Zhen." ”

"Bamboo basket, bamboo basket...... Who are you, that old man? Prince Yu's eyes showed a bit of brilliance.

Zhu Zhen's heart jumped when he heard this, and he replied: "Go back to the prince, it's the slave's Marfa." ”

"After the old man." Prince Yu laughed a few times, and then turned to Babel and said, "Yinxi, let me say a few words to this little girl." ”

"Yes, Yinxi is outside, if your uncle needs anything, just call it." After Babel finished speaking, he retreated, and only Prince Yu and Zhu Ji were left in the room.

"Are you Marfa alright?" Prince Yu said.

"Back to the prince, Marfa has always been healthy, and after the slave maid entered the palace, she went out to travel again." Zhu Zhen replied respectfully.

"Don't call me a 'prince', I fought with you Marfa back then, if you talk about seniority, you should call me Marfa." I don't know what Prince Yu thought, he paused slightly, and said, "But if you talk about age, you should call your uncle like Yinxi." ”

He is a royal person, and he is a high-ranking and powerful person, Zhu Zhen did not dare to climb and recognize, but said: "The prince is loved, the slave and maid dare not be, the rules in the palace are big, this 'uncle', the slave and the maid will rest in their hearts." ”

Prince Yu groaned slightly, and said: "It's just in the palace, you can't save this 'uncle' in my house, when you Mafa received a letter from home in the army, I still gave you the name of this girl." ”

And this allusion? Zhu Zhen was a little surprised. Thinking about Prince Yu's half-life and not a twisted person, it would be boring for him to excuse himself, so he called sweetly: "Uncle Fu, Ji'er has given you a greeting." As he spoke, he said a blessing.

After Prince Yu unexpectedly saw the deceased, he was overjoyed at first glance, and his spirit was much better, so he called the bamboo basket to help him up and sit on the head of the bed. He looked at the bamboo basket carefully for a while, and said: "When I saw you back then, I was still a little milk baby who could walk, I led Yinxi to your house, and he coaxed you to play for a long time, and now you have grown into a big girl, it is really unforgiving." Prince Yu recalled the past with a smile, and Zhu Ji was also a little surprised in his heart, never thinking that Zhu Ji and Babeile had intersected when they were young.

After serving Prince Yu and drinking two sips of water, Zhu Zhen took a few steps back and said, "Where is Uncle Fu?" Uncle, you are in the same year, when you were at home, you have also heard people talk about Uncle Fu's deeds, people like you, where should be lamenting the years, it is clear that the years should be avoiding Uncle Fu to run! ”

Seeing that the bamboo basket was sweet, Prince Yu smiled, waved his hand and said: "You girl, you will pour ** soup to people, this good thing is said, and it will go straight to people's hearts." ”

After chatting for a while, Zhu Zhen saw that Fuquan showed a tired look, persuaded him to lie down, and invited him into Babeiler, after Babeile entered the house, Tongfu Quan said: "Second uncle is better?" ”

Fuquan nodded, with a smile on his face, and said, "If you bring this girl, she will coax people, and a small mouth is like smearing honey!" It's also fate, I actually went to the palace of Concubine Liang on an errand, Yinxi, take care of this girl for me. ”

Babel listened, answered "yes", and turned his head to look at the bamboo basket with a smile. Somehow, listening to Prince Yu's quipping words, and seeing Babel's gaze sweeping over, Zhu Jimoto's face flushed with excitement became a little redder.

"The old and sick body, after being able to see my acquaintance, it can be regarded as a relief." Prince Yu sighed.

Babeile said: "Yinxi didn't know that the second uncle and the bamboo basket still have such a relationship, by chance, that is, I will leave the bamboo basket today, accompany the second uncle for a few days, talk, relieve boredom, Eniang's side, I have my own Yinxi to say." Uncle can make it? ”

The two sides discussed, Zhu Zheng was left in Prince Yu's mansion, and Babeile returned to the palace.

Zhu Ji sent Babeile all the way to the gate of the mansion, Babeile stopped, turned around and said to Zhu Ji: "I have always known your character, and I won't tell you more." Steward, I've also taken care of it, and besides, these days, I must often run to this end, you can live comfortably, and in a few days, I will take you back. ”

Zhu Zhen nodded with a smile and said, "Sue the slave and the master for no." ”

Babel said: "You don't know Eniang's temperament yet? You won't be to blame. ”

The bamboo basket said "um", did not speak again, and watched Babel's carriage leave.

"Girl, the girl's room is cleaned up, and the slave will lead the girl over to take a look." Qi Zhuoyuan, the head of Prince Yu's mansion, said respectfully.

Zhu Zhen hurriedly said: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, there is President Lao Qi." ”

Clothing and edibility are readily available. On this day, the bamboo basket was placed in Prince Yu's mansion.
