Chapter 40 There are a thousand knots in the heart

Four Baylor was angry.

October 30 is the birthday of the fourth beyler, because this small half-moon palace is busy preparing for the Korean envoy to the visit, the bamboo is in the Qianqing Palace, more or less idle, so he forgot about the four beyler.

On that day, the bamboo basket was busy for several days, and finally got some time, and wanted to go to bed early, but he heard someone knocking on the door outside, and hurriedly put on his clothes to open the door, but saw Sibeile standing upright outside. Zhu Zhen was stunned for a moment and asked, "But what's the matter, this big night?" "At the beginning, I agreed with Sibeile that the relationship between the two would not be made public for the first time, and the matter of asking for marriage would also be delayed. After all, she is a modern person, and she is not very accustomed to the way of getting along with each other after getting married first and then cultivating feelings, Sibeile thought that she had accepted Gege, and it was not good to ask the emperor for marriage so quickly, so she also agreed, so this month, it was fine. Today, Sibeile actually came to find him at night, thinking that there was something important, and Zhuzhen quietly waited for Sibeile to answer.

No, Sibeile only looked at her for a while, and then turned around and left, making the second monk of the bamboo basket confused. In the way of the big night, it was not easy to catch up, so the bamboo basket closed the door and went back to the house to lie down.

On the second day, she should be on duty, when serving in front of the palace, Kangxi discussed with several elder brothers, Zhu Zhen was careful on the one hand, in case Kangxi had any orders, and on the other hand, he glanced at Sibeile from time to time, but he always concentrated on discussing political affairs with everyone, and occasionally touched Zhu Zheng's gaze, but he turned away like nothing, extremely indifferent. Zhu Zhen wondered in his heart, he didn't know how he provoked this master, thinking about it, maybe he was too busy these days and snubbed him? But he didn't know about the North Korean envoy, and he should have understood, so how could he be angry with himself for such a trivial matter? The more I thought about it, the more I couldn't figure it out, so Zhu Zhen simply devoted himself to serving Kangxi, don't solve the problem by then, and lose your job or even your life first.

But it didn't take long for Zhu Zhen to feel that someone was staring at him, his eyes were very unfriendly, and he didn't find anything when he looked over, was it an illusion? Zhu Zhen is a little uneasy, no one will want to assassinate himself, right? At the thought of exposing his corpse to the dry well, Zhu Zhen shuddered.

"Bamboo basket." Kangxi's voice sounded.

"The slave is here." Zhu Ji hurriedly took a small step forward and said.

"After the New Year, I plan to go to Jiangnan." Kangxi Road.

Lower Gangnam? Zhu Zhen blinked his eyes and said, "Yes." "Did you just miss something? When it was over, the frequency of the bamboo basket's blinking became faster.

"Yes?" Kangxi turned to the bamboo basket and said with a smile.

Zhu Zhen looked at Kangxi in confusion, seeing that Kangxi seemed to be in a good mood, his heart relaxed a little, and said softly: "What does the emperor mean?" ”

Kangxi turned to the elder brothers and said, "Eighth brother, this girl has been in Chuxiu Palace for so long, why did she train like this?" ”

Hearing this, Babeile stood up and said with a smile: "Huang Ama, it is the negligence of the sons. ”

What's going on? Zhu Zhen also looked at a few elder brothers, only to see that except for the fourth elder brother's cold expression, and the ninth elder brother's smile was thorny, the other expressions were still soft.

"I heard that this girl was in Chuxiu Palace before, and she was serving in the study, she is like this, and your mother didn't even talk about it?" Kangxi took a sip of tea and said.

Babeile still stood upright, and replied respectfully: "If you return to the emperor Ama, Xu is Eniang has a relationship with the bamboo basket and loves it very much, so I have never blamed him for any small mistakes." ”

Kangxi shook his head when he heard this: "Look at this girl who is very clever on weekdays, but when she is really serious, she is confused again." Kangxi glanced at Zhu Zhen with a smile and said, "Take care of your body a year ago, and go back with me to take a look." I heard that your mother is half Han Chinese, so it's better for you to go to Jiangnan to have a look. ”

Zhu Zhen blessed his body and said, "Thank you for the emperor's grace." ”

Out of the main hall, he explained a few words to the palace maid on duty, and was about to leave, but was stopped by a shout, and Zhu Zhen turned around and looked, it was the fourth Baylor, the thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother.

The bamboo hoop stepped forward to say goodbye, but the fourth Belle did not move for a long time, and it was the thirteenth elder brother who called. The fourteenth elder brother put his big hand on the head of the bamboo basket and said, "I just said that you look so weak and weak, because you have Han blood." ”

Zhu Zhen knocked off the hand of the fourteenth elder brother, glanced at him, and said, "What if there is?" The Fourteenth Master can't see it? If this is the case, the fourteenth master will command, and the slave and maid will see the fourteenth master in the future, and just take a detour. ”

Hearing this, the fourteenth elder brother pinched the face of the bamboo basket and said with a smile: "You girl, you have a big temper today, but I teased you twice, and I actually shook my face with my grandfather." ”

When the fourteenth elder brother's hand touched his face, Zhu Zheng's heart was shocked, and he raised his hand to wave away the fourteenth elder brother's hand, and the thirteenth elder brother also came over to pull away the fourteenth elder brother, and said, "Fourteenth brother, Zhu Jiu is a little girl, what are you carrying with her?" Let's go, I have to go and say goodbye to Concubine De. ”

Zhu Zhen wrinkled his nose at the fourteenth elder brother, and then smiled sweetly at the thirteenth elder brother: "Thank you for the rescue of the thirteenth master, and the slave will thank you another day." ”

Seeing that the three of them were leaving, Sibeile never gave himself a look from beginning to end, and Zhu Zhen was disappointed, but he didn't show it on his face, and only saluted in a proper manner.

When Sibeile passed by the bamboo basket, the bamboo basket screamed "ah", and the bamboo basket hurriedly covered his mouth, but it was too late, the thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother turned their heads in front of them, and looked at them inquiringly.

Zhu Zhen didn't know how to respond for a while, and said, "No, it's okay, it's just, it's just ......" Zhu Zhen's eyes lingered among the three of them, the thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother looked uncertain, and the fourth Baylor's expression did not fluctuate in the slightest, and he had no intention of saving the scene at all, and hurriedly said, "Just let you go slowly." ”

Returning to the residence listlessly, the bamboo basket did not rush into the house, there was a small pavilion in the courtyard, which was not big, and could accommodate four or five people, the bamboo basket did not sit on the stone bench, but found a railing and sat on it, leaned his head on the pillar, wrapped his arms around the pillar, and leaned the weight of his whole body on the pillar.

Zhu Zhen thought about things for a while, and she was in a daze when she was tired, and she didn't know how long it was, until the voice of the thirteenth elder brother called her back to reality.

"Why are you here?" The bamboo basket straightened up, still stupid.

The thirteenth elder brother threw off his robe, sat down opposite the bamboo basket, and said, "What's the matter?" When I was on duty, I looked fine, why is I so unenergetic now? ”

Zhu Zhen glanced at the thirteenth elder brother and said, "Maybe you're tired in winter." ”

The thirteenth elder brother stood up, took the hand of the bamboo basket, and said, "Look at this hand, you are not too cold, hurry up and enter the house." Without saying anything, he pulled the bamboo basket into the house, opened the door of the wardrobe, took out the coat he had given the bamboo basket before, and put it on the bamboo basket.

"Thirteenth Master, what happened yesterday?" Zhu Zhen thought about it, felt that it was not a way to go on like this, and asked.

"Yesterday?" The thirteenth elder brother familiarly found the tea leaves, picked up the boiling water on the stove, made a pot of tea, handed a cup to the bamboo basket, and said, "Nothing happened in the palace yesterday, what's wrong?" ”

This is strange, Zhu Zhen frowned, and asked, "Then what was so special about yesterday?" ”

The thirteenth elder brother also poured himself a cup of tea and said, "If there is anything, yesterday was the fourth brother's birthday, and there is nothing else." ”

"Boom"! No wonder he reacted this way! Yes, I forgot about other people's birthdays, and I should be angry, and I should take care of myself.

Before the thirteenth elder brother asked himself, Zhu Zhen first diverted the topic. After chatting for a while, the thirteenth elder brother saw that Zhu Zheng's expression was much better, and he got up and left.

After thinking about it, Zhu Zhen went to Chuxiu Palace, found a mandarin duck purse from Chunliu, and said that he looked good, so he asked for it, planning to find an opportunity to give it to Sibeile tomorrow. Chunliu doesn't like to talk much, and she won't be suspicious when she thinks about it.

When Sibeile got the purse, his face softened a little, but he heard Zhu Zhen say: "The slave wishes the fourth master and the new Fujin to be as loving as this pair of mandarin ducks." ”

When he landed, Sibeile's face sank a little more: "This is what you want?" ”

The four Belle ice-like eyes were so frightened that Zhu Zhen shrank a little, but he still smiled and said, "Of course I hope for it!" Seeing that Sibeile turned around to leave, Zhu Ji hurriedly stepped forward to grab him, and said, "You say, if one mandarin duck dies first, then what about the other?" ”

Sibeile glared at Zhu Zhen and said, "You are not bold, dare to compare me like this?" ”

The bamboo basket glanced at Sibeile, pouted, and said, "Who compared you?" Just asking a question. ”

Sibeile looked at the bamboo basket for a while, and said: "There are clouds in the poem, 'the sycamore holds each other old, and the mandarin duck will die', and there are classics, 'the male and female have not tasted separated, and one of them has to die of lovesickness', think about it, it will definitely die in the future." Seeing Zhu Zhen shaking his head, Sibeile said, "What, isn't that the case?" ”

Zhu Zhen smiled slyly and said, "Let's make a bet, you find a pair of mandarin ducks, catch one of them and lock them up, so that they don't see each other, and then observe the other mandarin duck every day to see if it will die of hunger strike?" ”

Sibeile thought for a moment and said with a smile: "I'll make this bet with you." ”

"Good!" Zhu Zhen raised his head and said, "If I win, you will do something to me." ”

"No problem, but what if I win?" IV. Baylor Road.

"If you win......" Zhu Zhen thought with his head down.

Without waiting for her to say, Sibeile said, "If I win, you will allow me to go and ask the emperor for a marriage." ”

Zhu Zhen was stunned for a moment and said, "Okay, just according to what you say." As he spoke, he shoved his purse into the hands of Four-Baylor.

Although Sibeile accepted it, he still couldn't help but hit the bamboo basket and said, "You embroidered it?" You need to practice this stitch kung fu. ”

The bamboo basket didn't care, glanced at the purse and said, "How can I embroider any mandarin ducks, but I just found a little palace maid to ask for it." ”

"Just begged for it?" Sibel narrowed his eyes and said, "So, you didn't really give it to me?" ”

"Why isn't it sincere?" Zhu Zhen retorted, "It's just that it wasn't really given to you, what do you want to do so seriously, can't you just express your meaning?" ”

"You girl, you seem to have changed into a different person." Sibeile checked the purse in his hand and said.

"What? So you saw my scoundrel side and regretted it? Zhu Zhen tilted his head, smiled smugly at Sibeile, and said, "If the fourth master regrets it now, it's too late." As he spoke, Zhu Zhen turned around, with a smile on his lips, but he was panicking in his heart, and turned his back, not wanting him to see his cold and shivering fingertips and smile that he couldn't hold on.

Sibeile hugged the bamboo basket from behind, rested his chin on her shoulder, and said in a low voice: "I really regret it, I regret that I didn't take you by my side earlier and fall in love with every side of you." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Zong's stiff body slowly softened, but he still didn't turn around.

"Zhu Zheng, this bet, I am very conflicted." It was the fourth Baylor who opened his mouth first.

"Why?" Zhu asked softly.

"I hope I win, so that I can take you under my wing sooner, so that I don't worry every day, but I don't want me to win." Four Baylor tightened his arms a little.

"Why don't you want to win?" Zhu Zhen tilted his head slightly, and his cheek accidentally brushed his lips over Sibeiler, and his face turned red all of a sudden. Four Belle was laughing, although there was no sound, but the back of the bamboo basket was pressed against Four Baylor's chest, and she could feel the vibration of his chest, and her face burned even more.

"If you lose, if you give me this purse, I will be jealous." Sibeile gently bit the earlobe of the bamboo basket and licked it again.

This feeling is too unfamiliar, Zhu Zhense shrank for a moment, and said, "Eat, jealous?" ”

"Yes, you are so generous in sending mandarin duck purses, wishing me and other women to love each other, I will feel that you don't care about me." Sibeile turned the bamboo basket around, faced him, and said, "I'd rather I lost than I did." ”

"I'm going to win!" After saying this, the bamboo basket had already run a few steps, but stopped again, turned around and winked at Sibeile with bright eyes, and his little face was flushed, unable to hide the cunning appearance on his face.
