In the Old Summer Palace in March, the spring flowers are in full bloom, the shallow grass is light, the wind is mixed with a faint fragrance of flowers scattered everywhere, Ruolu is lying on the bamboo couch in the courtyard, and the scroll in his hand slowly slides to the ground. Shuying quietly approached, picked up the scroll, put it on the low table beside him, and tucked up the thin blanket covering Ruo Yu's body before slowly retreating.

Lately, Gege has been sleeping more and more.

When Ruolu woke up, Luo Yan was sitting on the side, looking at the scroll in her hand. Luo Yan saw that Ruolu had woken up, put down the scroll, leaned into Ruolu, and asked, "Auntie, in the afternoon, Hongli and Hongli want to leave to ride the shooting range with Shake and Leave, is it okay?" ”

"Go ahead, be careful not to hurt yourselves." Ruolu raised her hand and touched her hair, her face is eighteen years old, and she is in her best years, I hope she can still hold on to watch her get married.

Luo Yan seemed to be in a good mood today, chattering non-stop, and had lunch with Ruo Lu all the time, before leaving with Hongli and Hongday, who came to pick up people, with the two little guys.

"Aunt Hua Shu." In the room, Ruolu leaned lightly on the head of the bed, looked at Hua Shu, who was busy packing up her clothes, and said, "Aunt has taken care of Ruolu for most of her life, and at this time, Ruolu still has one last thing to worry about her aunt." ”

When Hua Shu heard Ruolu call her, she stopped what she was doing, walked to the bed, bent down slightly, and listened to her words closely. You and the slave and the maid still see each other like this, and Gege has commanded it, and the slave and the maid listen. ”

Ruolu stretched out his hand forward, Hua Shu shook it knowingly, and then was pulled by Ruolu to sit on the edge of the bed: "Aunt Hua Shu, since Ruolu entered the palace, thanks to your care, over the years, far or near, you finally watched Ruolu come over." Ruolu took a slight breath and continued, "Luoyan is about to marry far away, although Guanyin Bao is a good child, I can't rest assured that it is not in front of me, but Mongolia is far away, and I am reluctant to let my aunt run around in her old age." Shake and leave are still young, I'm afraid I can't watch them grow up, if there is a ...... In case, I asked my aunt to take care of me, so I must grow up safely. ”

Hua Shu listened quietly, her lips had been bitten red and purple, and the sourness in her throat was swallowed and swallowed by her, and she barely found her voice: "Gege ......"

"Aunt Hua Shu doesn't have to say anything comforting, my body, I know for myself, you should go down to me, just take it as a peace of mind for me." Ruolu closed her eyes slightly, and after a conversation, she was tired again.

"Slave maid, I will take care of the two little masters wholeheartedly." The tears in Hua Shu's eyes wet the brocade quilt, but she didn't cry, her hand was tightly holding Ruolu's hand, trembling terribly.

Ruolu didn't open his eyes, gently patted the back of Hua Shu's hand, and said, "Call Yueqin, Shuying, Xiangjin, Ruijin, and a few grandmothers in, I have something to say to them." "Today, Luoyan took away the shaking and separation, and she specially left the palace people and grandmothers who usually serve the two of them, just for this matter.

"Gege, you look tired, do you want to take a break and talk about it another day?" Hua Shu persuaded.

Ruolu opened his eyes and smiled slightly: "No need, I feel pretty good today, let's go." ”

Hua Shu saw that Ruolu was resolute, and it was useless to persuade him, so he got up and called several people in.

In the room, everyone bowed their heads and stood, and this atmosphere was somewhat clear in everyone's hearts. Ruolu gently swept over everyone and said lightly: "You are all old people who follow me, Mama Yin and Ruijin have a shorter time, I have always looked the same, I have not been in good health recently, so I don't say anything polite to you." Ruolu paused and said, "On weekdays, the four Yueqin serve me more, and the two small ones rely on your grandmothers to take care of them, I want to ask you what you mean, but what are your plans?" Or go out of the palace to retire, or get married, or continue to serve in the palace, no matter what, I will not treat you badly, naturally, it is tantamount to this, you don't have to scruple, you must tell the truth, I can make arrangements for you as soon as possible. ”

After the Bird finished speaking, no one in the room immediately replied, or still hung their heads and remained silent, or looked at each other, or Shuying spoke up first: "The slave and maid are willing to serve by Gege's side all the time." ”

When someone came out, the rest of the people expressed their intentions in twos and threes, and they all wanted to stay and serve. Ruolu thought for a while, and said: "You have a heart, if others still want to serve, it is not in the way, Xiangjin, I heard that your mother has been seriously ill recently, and there are still young brothers and sisters in the family, since you have served Shisu before you followed me, why don't you also take care of Shisu, in the future, I want to place her in the house, you serve in the house on weekdays, if you want to go home, you will be freer." If he is in good health and there is nothing to do at home, and you want to come back, you can still come back. ”

Xiangjin thought about it, kowtowed to Ruolu, and thanked him.

After dealing with Xiangjin's affairs, Ruo Yu was quiet, and said: "I don't have anything to pay attention to here, and I don't like to make rules, you are all powerful people under the emperor and the emperor, and I don't need to say much." But today I still have to say a few words to you, Hongzhao and Ximiao are the most important people to me, whether I am in the future or not, since you have decided to continue to do things with me today, then you also recognize Hongzhao and Ximiao as the main thing, do not do anything harmful to the two, otherwise even if I am not there, there will always be the emperor, there will always be the royal family, and how treachery will end, I think you know in your hearts. ”

"Please rest assured, the slave and maid must be loyal and loyal to Gege and the two little masters!" All the people fell to their knees together, and they showed their loyalty.

Ruolu looked at the people kneeling on the ground, although she was still worried and worried, but she had to temporarily suppress the worry in her heart, she softened her tone and said: "Get up quickly, I'm just worried about my mother, and I'm sick and thinking a lot, it's not you who can be trusted by my side, everyone take care of it more." ”

As for Uncle Qi, Zhao Cheng, and Chen Yang, except for Chen Yang, who came to the Old Summer Palace at the moment, Uncle Qi and Zhao Cheng were both in the palace outside the palace.

After completing these things, Ruolu is really tired, but she doesn't want to sleep, she doesn't know that she will fall asleep again this time, and when she wakes up, it will be a few days later, her time is getting less and less, and the time to see Yinzhen and the children is getting shorter and shorter. She hasn't said a few good things at the same time, she hasn't talked to Yinzhen again, and she hasn't said goodbye to these people she has befriended one by one, she really can't bear to waste her precious time on sleeping like this.

Ruolu held on until Luoyan and a few people came back, played for an afternoon, Lili and Shao had already fallen asleep, and asked Hongli and Hongtian to hug one back and hand it over to the grandmother. Luoyan's little face was flushed, and Ruolu talked about the interesting things in the afternoon, Hongli and Hongday were still a steady, a naughty, the three of them sat with Ruolu for a while, seeing that Ruolu was not in good spirits, Hongli and Hongli got up to say goodbye, and Luoyan accompanied Ruolu for a while, until Ruolu fell asleep, and then went back to the room to bathe and change clothes.

When Ruolu woke up, the lights in the room were dim, Ruolu opened his eyes and saw Yinzhen on his side, his arm was gently on her waist, his brows were a little frowned, Ruolu raised his hand for Yinzhen to flatten the frowning lines, and then his hand slowly slid to the side of Yinzhen's face.

Somehow, at the moment she was in good spirits, completely sleepless, she wanted to talk to Yinzhen, there were some things, she wanted to tell him in person, not from other people's mouths. However, she couldn't bear to wake up Yinzhen, she knew that this man, how heavy the sense of responsibility was, even if he had been on the throne for three years, the court was gradually stable, he was still conscientious and never slack, he seemed to regard himself as a tireless robot, so that she couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

"Yinzhen." Ruolu called softly, she didn't want to wake him up, she just wanted to talk to him in this silent night, even if it was just him asleep.

"Yinzhen, Yinzhen, Yinzhen......" only called a few times, Ruo Lu's eyes were full of tears, because he couldn't bear the weight and slipped from the corners of his eyes, hidden in the hair, Ruo Lu quickly wiped away the tears, adjusted his mood, and continued to murmur softly.

"I like you, but at that glance, I never thought I could come together with you and get to this day. Maybe you don't know, before I saw you, I already admired you very much, admired your strategy, iron fist, honesty, forbearance, but also felt sorry for you, this road is destined to be lonely, even if there are thirteen, but in the face of so many moths and opposing voices, it is far from enough, but this road does not need to be lively. Ruolu rubbed it and snuggled in Yinzhen's arms, "I always like to lean on your arms like this, I always feel extremely down-to-earth and extremely relieved, as if as long as this arm is in it, there is nothing that cannot be solved." I know that you have quietly done a lot for me and Yan'er, and at the beginning of your ascension to the throne, there must have been many ugly words that you helped me keep out, otherwise, where would I be able to live comfortably? ”

Ruolu held Yinzhen's palm and shook it with his palm: "'Holding the hand of the son, growing old with the son', I still remember the oath I made at the beginning, but I'm sorry, I may have to break the contract." Once again, the sourness hit the eye sockets and the tip of the nose, Ruo Yu sniffed and said, "Yan'er and Sha Sha and Li, can only be left to you, the Emperor Ama, to take care of, I thought that when the court is stable and you can unload this burden, we will take the child and invite the thirteen to travel around the world together, after all, it will not be possible." Yinzhen ......"

Ruolu finally decided to talk about the jade pendant, she has been entangled in the matter of the jade pendant for many years since she came here, and she has felt guilty for many years, she can now let go: "Do you know that I went to see the Eight Blessings that day, in order to get back the lost jade pendant with her, the jade pendant was given by a brother when I was a child, and after entering the palace, I knew that that brother was the eighth master." At that time, I was young and ignorant, and my thoughts after entering the palace were all on you, where could I still bear the love of the eighth master, and the eighth master did not recognize me. But with the jade pendant first, I feel guilty in my heart, and the eighth master has taken care of it for many years, even if I don't have that jade pendant, I really can't bear him to be so scattered, so I have those disputes with you. Whether it is for you or for the eighth master, I feel a loss, and even had the idea of leaving the palace, but why are you so good, I can't even be ruthless......" This time, Ruo Yu couldn't hold back her tears and sobbed in a low voice, but she heard Yinzhen's voice above her head.

"Ruolu." Yin Zhen picked up Ruolu's face, wiped the tears on her cheeks, and then lowered her head to kiss the tears on the slightly trembling crow eyelashes, and sighed, "Silly girl." ”

Ruolu didn't know when he woke up, and when he heard his sentence "silly girl", he threw himself into Yinzhen's arms and kept saying "I'm sorry".

Yin Zhen went down to Ruolu's back, and when she calmed down, she took out the jade pendant that was placed close to her and showed it to Ruolu: "The jade pendant you said, but this one?" ”

Ruolu looked at the jade pendant in Yinzhen's hand, and said, "Didn't you ask Bafujin to pick it up?" How are you here? ”

"Hongli picked it up, and he recognized the mark on the back of this jade pendant, so he handed it to me." Yin Zhen paused and said, "Ruolu, this is what Princess Gulun Rongxian gave me before she got married, how can you think that this is the eighth child's object?" ”

"Y-What did you say?" Ruolu was stunned by Yinzhen's words.

"When the third sister married to Mo Nan, I was the best with the third sister on weekdays, and I was displeased, and the third sister took a jade pendant from the dowry and gave it to me in order to make me happy. Yin Zhen briefly explained to Ruolu.

"However, that brother told me that day that his younger sister in the family loved to call him Brother Yu, and when I was in Prince Yu's mansion, I heard Prince Gong's Yiermu call him like this, and said that he was used to urinating, and I thought it was ......."

Yin Zhen really couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this, he scraped the tip of Ruo Lu's nose and said, "Isn't my 'fourth brother' more tenable than his 'brother Zhen'?" According to common sense, they are all called in tooth order, how can anyone choose a word in the name to call? ”

Ruolu frowned slightly, looked at Yinzhen, blinked, and said, "It seems to be ...... You have a point. ”

"What 'like', should be 'is'." Yin Zhen saw that Ruolu was still a little dazed and digesting this information, and couldn't help but sigh, "Back then, I was upset because of the third sister's distant marriage, and I met a well-behaved and lovely little girl at the Shangyuan Festival, so I sent the jade pendant out. Later, I also regretted a little, and went back to look for it, but I didn't find anyone, so I didn't think that this jade pendant was given to you back then, so it can be seen that as early as more than 30 years ago, I ordered you. ”

Ruolu snorted at him, but couldn't help but throw himself into Yinzhen's arms again and rub again, this seemed to be the joy and sweetness that fell from the sky and made her dizzy, that person back then, the man in white who had always existed in her fragmentary dreams, turned out to be Yinzhen? The struggles and guilt over the years turned out to be a misunderstanding, and their fate was set early in the morning, from beginning to end, it was him.

Ruolu doesn't know when the **** fell asleep, but I just feel that this is really the most down-to-earth and reassuring sleep in these years. (To be continued.) )
