On this southern tour, only the crown prince, the fourth Belle and the thirteenth elder brother accompanied him. The southern tour is secondary, and Zhu Zhen is very curious about Kangxi's order for the thirteenth elder brother to sacrifice Mount Tai on his behalf. Since ancient times, the sacrifice of Mount Tai is the Son of Heaven himself, the bamboo basket in the eyes of modern people, although it is superstition, but in ancient times, this is a symbol of power, Kangxi's move, if there is no deep meaning, the bamboo basket still does not believe much.

The mighty procession set off. The bamboo basket is just a palace maid, and she has to be stuffy in the car all day long, but she hears the bustle outside, the cries of the people, the chaotic sound of horses' hooves, and the sound of rolling wheels, but I don't know what it looks like. The same car with the bamboo basket, as well as the palace maid who was transferred to the imperial front this time, named Hongshuang, was sent to serve tea.

Hongshuang used to be an errand in Yifei Niangniang's Yanxi Palace, and her appearance was also outstanding, and after getting along for a few days, Zhu Zhen also felt a little bit of her temperament, although it was a little sharper, but as long as she followed her, there was nothing in the way. Fortunately, Zhu Zhen is lazy, even if Hongshuang is sometimes thin, Zhu Zhen does not refute her, Hongshuang is not interesting, so she is just stupid.

After turning the waterway, Zhu Zhen felt refreshed. Before the car and horses every day, I always felt that my body was covered with dust, and I was still carrying my temperament in the first two days, but after sitting for a long time, I felt that my body was also scattered, and my interest was gone. Now that I have boarded the boat, the river breeze is blowing with water vapor, and there is less noise on land, which is more pleasant.

Bamboo hoop because it is the palace of the Qianqing Palace, it was placed on the dragon boat, at first I was worried that it would be seasick, but fortunately, the hull of the boat was calm, and the line was flat, and the bamboo hoop adapted to the small half a day, and there was no discomfort.

The crown prince, the fourth beyler and the thirteenth elder brother were not in the same boat as Kangxi, and other ships followed behind the imperial boat. Come to think of it, since he was transferred to the Qianqing Palace, he has never seen one of those elder brothers, and Rao is the thirteenth elder brother who accompanied him this time, and he has never been seen.

When I saw the thirteenth elder brother again, it was the fourth day after I got on the boat. Zhu Zheng was replaced, and he was about to go back to the room to rest, and if he didn't go back to the room, there was nowhere to go. But I saw another boat approaching, who was it not the thirteenth elder brother who came from that boat?

The thirteenth elder brother also saw the bamboo basket, and his face smiled. The bamboo basket saluted from afar, and stood in place waiting for the thirteenth elder brother to come over.

"Are you going back to your room to rest?" The thirteenth elder brother said with a smile.

"Well, you shouldn't be on duty at night." Zhu Zhen replied obediently, on Kangxi's boat, she didn't dare to take a bite of "you" and "me", who would hear this, a big hat that was "disrespectful and unruly" was buttoned down, and her life was gone, and she didn't want to die so much!

The thirteenth elder brother said: "This is not the place to talk, you go, I will look for you when I get ashore." ”

Zhu Zhen saluted and retired, this is not in the palace, there is just such a place on the boat, maybe now Kangxi knows that he has spoken to the thirteenth elder brother.

In the next few days, Zhu Zhen still lived a life of two points and one line, either in his own room, in Kangxi's cabin, and then on the way to duty.

Speaking of which, although the prince of Dao, the fourth Belle and the thirteenth elder brother went to Kangxi every day to ask for peace, he never saw any of them again, thinking about it, because he was serving Kangxi to study, didn't Hongshuang often see the three masters? For this, she was not less proud in front of herself, but she saw that she was neither envious nor jealous, neither salty nor light, and after a few times, she also mentioned less.

I don't know how long it has been, there is a little eunuch who is about to arrive in Shandong, and he is excited to hear it, and he can finally set foot on land! This is in the cabin, stuffy to suffocate to death, every day I see just a few people, every day even the route is the same, it's strange if it's not boring!

Although the hotel in Texas is far from the Forbidden City, it is already quite large-scale, and the gateway in the folk cannot be compared. Along the way, although Zhu Zhen reported to the palace every day, and also had some verbal exchanges with Kangxi, he just told her which book to take to him, and there was nothing else.

The prince's illness came suddenly, and there was a lot of noise in the palace for a while. The bamboo basket is still the same as in the past, when it is time to be on duty, go to Kangxi on duty, and go back to the house to plant mushrooms when it is not on duty. Looking at Kangxi's expression, he didn't see too much anxiety, reading books, criticizing excerpts, as in the past, only sometimes the imperial doctor would come to ask questions, and Zhu Zhen probably heard that the prince's illness was just a minor illness such as not adapting to the soil and water, and the cultivation was no big problem.

When Kangxi came back on this day, somehow, there was little frost on his face, and he didn't know what happened to the bamboo basket, so he became more and more careful in serving. Kangxi sat for a while, and a waiter presented today's fold, but after approving a few copies, Kangxi suddenly dropped the fold in his hand to the ground. The room was already extremely quiet, and at this time, the sound of the fold falling to the ground became more and more crisp, with the sound of Kangxi's heavy breathing and the anger that could not be concealed around him, and everyone in the room knelt down.

I only heard Kangxi say: "Okay! Good! Good! That's a good errand! Then he said to the chamberlain, "Go!" Tell Suo Etu to come to see me! ”

The inner servant Nuo Nuo was ordered to retreat, Suo Etu was not among the entourage this time, could it be that Kangxi wanted him to come from the capital? Without waiting for Zhu Zhen to think about it again, Kangxi said again: "Pass the order, the prince will stay in the palace to recuperate, and the rest will leave tomorrow!" ”

Xu was tired, Kangxi was settled early on this day, and the bamboo basket withdrew from the house, only to feel that a hanging heart had finally fallen, but fortunately, there was nothing wrong.

Hongshuang was on duty today, and when Zhu Zhen went back, he saw that the house was dark, and he said in his heart, this girl, I don't know how to leave a lamp for myself. The bamboo basket pushed the door in, and before he closed the door, someone covered his mouth from behind and tried to open the door, but the door was held down by the man.

"It's me." The voice of the thirteenth elder brother sounded from behind his ears, and he saw that Zhu Zheng did not struggle anymore, so he put down his hand.

Zhu Zhen relaxed his guard, turned around and said, "What are you doing here?" In the middle of the night, it scared me! As he spoke, he went to hold the lamp in the dark.

The thirteenth elder brother stopped her and said, "Don't hold the lamp first, listen to me, the day before yesterday, the prince was not happy, and he punished the palace maid, which made the emperor angry." In the past two days, Emperor Ama is angry, you should be careful, don't be confused all day long. ”

"You're here to mention this?" Zhu Zhen couldn't cry or laugh.

"So that you girl has no appearance all day, and somehow she has to be selected to serve in front of the palace, I don't know if you make a mistake one day, don't say I didn't remind you when you were on the board!" The thirteenth elder brother saw that Zhu Zhen did not appreciate it, and he had no good airway.

"Yes, yes, my thirteenth master, the slave and the maid thank the thirteenth master for mentioning it, the slave and the maid have written it down, if the master has nothing else, go back quickly." The bamboo hoop pushed the thirteen elder brothers.

"Really remember." The thirteenth elder brother said, opened the door and disappeared into the night.

Zhu Zhen didn't go to the lamp again, took off his clothes and lay down, thinking about the words of the thirteenth elder brother, Kangxi's anger was true, presumably the prince provoked it, as for the reason, I'm afraid it's not that simple, otherwise why let Suo Etu come all the way from the capital, and he was so angry that he left the sick prince alone and continued his southern tour?

On this day, I was worried and highly nervous, and the bamboo basket was now relaxed, and after a while, he fell asleep in a daze.

On the second day, Kangxi ignored the pleas of the fourth Belle and the thirteenth elder brother, and still led a large army to continue to move forward, all the way to Jinan. It was only at this point that the bamboo basket really began to get a little excited.

The team changed from the waterway to the land, all the way to the foot of Mount Tai, the local officials greeted and other matters Zhu Ji did not have time to pay attention to, only thinking about the later stage, the thirteen elder brothers on behalf of the Son of Heaven to sacrifice Mount Tai scene.

When the thirteenth elder brother climbed Mount Tai, Zhu Zhen knew that she didn't have her share at all! This time, it was the thirteenth elder brother who climbed Mount Tai alone, and the others were just waiting at the foot of the mountain. When Kangxi's holy decree came down, the bamboo basket wilted, and I thought I could come out to change the air, but in fact, it was just changed from the palace to the cabin, and it was the master who was really relaxed, and her little palace maid was still serving people's lives.

In the temporary line, Kangxi was sitting in front of the desk reading a book, which has always made Zhu Zhen admire it very much. When Kangxi reads, he must be sitting upright, not like himself, either crooked or leaning, as if he has no bones in his body, his mother said a lot about himself at the beginning, but she has not been able to change this problem. Mom, I haven't mentioned this word for a long time, and the last time I remembered it was a long time ago, and I was a little scared, as if I was drifting away from the modern world, and I never had time to go back. I fell into this other space, in my original world, will my parents still wait for me to go back?

"Bamboo basket, bamboo basket!" Li Dequan's voice dragged the bamboo basket back to reality, she looked at it suspiciously, but saw Li Dequan's eyes glancing straight at Kangxi, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, at this moment he was on duty in front of Kangxi, a careless, but he had to pay for the guy who ate, especially in the past few days, Kangxi must not be happy because of the prince's affairs, how could he hit the muzzle of the gun at such a time?

"What do you think, so engrossed?" Looking at Kangxi's appearance, he didn't look angry, Zhu Zhen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he still didn't dare to be careless.

"If you go back to the emperor, the slave and maid have never been to Mount Tai, and they are fascinated for a while, so they are distracted, and the emperor is asked to punish them." As he spoke, he knelt down.

"That being the case, presumably the old thirteen will be thirsty after a while, so you can send some mountain springs." Kangxi didn't leave the scroll with his eyes, and said casually.

Deliver water? Zhu Zhen blinked, if she understood correctly, Kangxi meant to climb up and bring water to the thirteenth elder brother by himself? With his small physique, not to mention whether he can catch up with the speed of thirteen, he can climb up and say another thing! Kangxi, what kind of joke is this?!

Zhu Zhen glanced at Li Dequan, but saw that Li Dequan's eyes and nose were all made "stone statues", and he didn't respond to her meaning, Zhu Zhen's heart became bitter melon, but he had to say: "Yes, the slave obeys the order." ”

Zhu Zhen got up and was about to withdraw, but he heard Kangxi say: "Zhu Zheng, take a few steps quickly, otherwise you won't be able to catch up with the thirteenth elder brother." ”

This is the first time that Zhu Zhen heard Kangxi call her name, faintly, which made her heart move, Zhu Zhen blessed her body, and said softly: "Yes." "Quit.

Kangxi was right, Zhu Zhen hurried to the foot of the mountain, but listened to the guards at the foot of the mountain, the thirteenth elder brother had already gone up. Fortunately, he didn't go long, the bamboo basket couldn't, carrying a bamboo tube filled with mountain spring water, protected by two guards, and climbed up with a "righteous and awe-inspiring" look, fortunately, he was not wearing the bottom of the flower pot now, otherwise he could have imagined the "miserable" end.

After rushing for more than half an hour, he didn't see the figure of the thirteenth elder brother, and Zhu Zheng sighed in his heart, what did the thirteenth elder brother eat to grow up, and he was already in full swing, and he couldn't even see a shadow.

A guard on his side saw that the bamboo basket was already panting, and the beads of sweat flowed straight down, and said: "Girl, if the girl can't support her body, just rest first, and the slave will help you go up to chase the thirteenth master." ”

Zhu Zhen shook his head and said: "The emperor has ordered, I want to personally hand over the spring water to the thirteenth master, how dare I be lazy, the eldest brother of the guard doesn't have to worry about me, just hurry up at full speed." ”

Seeing that the bamboo basket insisted, the guard didn't say anything more, but only carefully protected the bamboo basket and kept hurrying forward.

Although Zhu Zong's mouth is good, he has already scolded the thirteenth elder brother 1,800 times in his heart, and he will be called good-looking if he catches up with him! On the other hand, he shouted in his heart that his legs hurt and panted, if he couldn't see the figure of the thirteenth elder brother again, he was afraid that he would really not be able to walk.

"Girl! Isn't that the thirteenth master in front? One of the guards said in a loud voice.

When Zhu Zhen heard the "Thirteen Masters", he didn't care about the soreness on his legs, and he was busy and quickened his pace, although the figure above was blurry, but the white coat flying over the immortal was not the thirteenth elder brother who "wanted to wear it"?

"Stop him!" Seeing that the figure in front of him was about to disappear again, Zhu Zheng hurriedly said.

The two guards listened, and hurriedly said loudly: "Thirteenth master! Thirteen masters! The Thirteenth Master stays! ”

Mount Tai has been sealed from the foot of the mountain, and now it is in a high place, a little sound can be heard clearly, the two did not shout a few times, and the bamboo basket saw the figure in front of him paused, as if he turned around to look at himself. The bamboo basket couldn't walk anymore, and sat on the big stone next to it, panting for breath.

The two guards saw that the bamboo basket no longer went up, and how could they dare to let the thirteenth elder brother deign to come to their servants, one guard stayed by the bamboo basket, and the other guard ran up to meet the thirteenth elder brother.

After a while, the thirteenth elder brother walked over, saw that the bamboo basket was still panting on the side, took the bamboo tube from the bamboo basket, opened the lid, sent it to the bamboo basket's mouth, and said, "Drink saliva first." ”

The bamboo basket really couldn't resist the temptation of the mountain spring, so he took a small sip, and the mouth between his throats was suddenly cool and moist, and it was very comfortable. didn't drink the mountain spring again, Zhu Zhen said: "This is the mountain spring water given by the emperor to the thirteenth master, and the slave doesn't dare to drink it anymore." ”

The thirteenth elder brother smiled and covered the lid, and said to the two guards: "You two stay here and wait, this palace maid will serve me to drink water, and go up with me." ”

The prince's words, the two guards did not dare to refute.

It was Zhu Zhen who had a bitter face, but because there were other people there, it was difficult to say anything, so he respectfully said "yes", and continued to climb up with the thirteenth elder brother. When he turned around and couldn't see the two guards, Zhu Zhen said: "You climb your mountain, my water has been delivered, what are you dragging me for?" ”

"Look at the fact that you don't fall behind when you talk back to me on weekdays, why is your body so useless? Since I have the opportunity to climb the mountain and practice my muscles and bones today, how can I let you go? The thirteenth elder brother stood up, handed over the water, and said, "There will be no one else here, let's drink some more, I see that I am really tired of you, and it is difficult for you to catch up." ”

The bamboo basket was not polite to him, and there was indeed smoke in his throat, but after all, the mountain spring water was a little cold, and the bamboo basket only took a small mouthful, swallowed it slowly, and drank two sips and did not dare to drink it again.

Seeing that the bamboo basket was no longer drinking, the thirteenth elder brother took the bamboo tube himself, poured two large mouthfuls, covered the lid, and said, "Walk slowly, there is not much ahead, and it will be there in about half an hour." ”

The bamboo basket breathed a long sigh of relief, and even the strength to fight was gone, and he said weakly: "You put me here, go up by yourself, the emperor originally wanted you to go to Mount Tai alone." ”

The thirteenth elder brother didn't follow, and said: "How can I rest assured that I will leave you here alone, or you will wait, I will go down and let those two guards come up to guard you." As he spoke, he had gone down two steps.

Zhu Ji hurriedly grabbed him and said, "I know that you have good physical strength, and it's not like this." Knowing that the thirteenth elder brother would not let himself alone, Zhu Zhen was ruthless, got up and said: "I'll follow you up, how can there be a reason to climb the mountain and fold down halfway?" ”

The thirteenth elder brother took a look at it and said uneasily: "Can your body still eat?" ”

"Look down on me, don't you?" Zhu Zhen smiled, "Let's go, I've delayed a lot of work, but don't miss the business." ”

The thirteenth elder brother took the hand of the bamboo basket, and while climbing the steps, he said without looking back: "It's not that I haven't learned the 'male and female defense', and I will prepare a bamboo cane for you before coming up next time." ”

Zhu Zhen smiled, looked at the thirteenth elder brother's red ears, and did not tease him as in the past, turned his hand and interlocked his fingers, and said, "This is more effortless." ”

With the thirteenth elder brother with him, the speed is also much slower than before, and the bamboo basket feels not as tired as before, but after the trip, it is all thanks to the thirteenth elder brother holding his back to barely walk, it seems that this body should be exercised.

Standing in front of the Nantian Gate, seeing that the top of the Jade Emperor was already in sight, the bamboo basket stood first. The thirteenth elder brother saw the bamboo basket stop and asked, "Can't walk?" Let's take a break. ”

Zhu Zhen shook his head and said, "The rest of the way, you have to go up by yourself." ”

The thirteenth elder brother looked at the bamboo basket suspiciously, and the bamboo basket continued: "Sacrifice Mount Tai on behalf of the Son of Heaven, there is no ancient, I am afraid that it will be the one who will not come later, thirteen, this is your history, it is up to you to write it completely." ”

"But I wish you were in this history." The thirteenth elder brother was still holding the arm of the bamboo basket and said.

"I wanted to send you in a few days, so take advantage of this convenience and send it out in advance." The bamboo basket took out the tassels that had been braided in the morning from the purse and handed them to the thirteenth elder brother. The process of weaving is not complicated, but thinking about which one to weave really took a long time.

The thirteenth elder brother took the tassel, looked at it, and said, "What a clever Luozi, did you fight?" ”

"The style is a little simple, just a good intention." Zhu Zhen said softly.

"What, and a name?" The thirteenth elder brother took the flute and hung it up after himself, shook it twice, and said with a smile.

"It's called Xiangyun Knot." Zhu Zhen paused and said, "You are like this now, you are cooking oil with fire, flowers are brocade, no matter how many auspicious words are white, this network, take the meaning of 'free wishes, pray for peace', I am afraid that it will be bland, if you are not satisfied, you will reward people casually." ”

The thirteenth elder brother put away the flute, rubbed the head of the bamboo basket, and said, "Now, only you will say such things to me." ”

Zhu Zhen pushed the thirteenth elder brother and said, "You go, I'll wait for you here." ”

The thirteenth elder brother didn't say anything more, nodded with a smile, turned around and climbed up, his figure was brisk, and after a while, he couldn't see the figure clearly. Zhu Zhen was a little depressed, if he hadn't dragged him down before, I'm afraid that at this time, he would have been down the mountain for a while. Thinking like this, I became more and more determined to start exercising after returning to the palace.

The bamboo basket sat on the stone steps at will, dragged the withered grass and paddled on the ground, resting his feet while waiting for the thirteenth elder brother to come down from the top of the mountain. I have been climbing the mountain and sweating a lot, not to mention that the temperature at the top of the mountain is not high, and now that I have rested, I didn't feel it at first, but the more I went back, the more I felt the cold.

As soon as his body was warm, the bamboo basket turned around and saw that the thirteenth elder brother untied the gown on his outside and draped it on himself. The thirteenth elder brother pressed his clothes with both hands, hugged the bamboo basket on his shoulders, and said, "Go back." ”

Zhu Zhen smiled faintly and responded to him: "Hmm." ”

Zhu Zhen didn't know how the thirteenth elder brother sacrificed Taishan above, what he said, or what he did, but he saw more and more clear and bright eyes, high-spirited appearance, and some things seemed to be quietly changing. It should be good, Zhu Zhen thought, and inadvertently pursed his mouth.

The process of going down the mountain was far smoother than going up the mountain, and when he was about to see the two guards, Zhu Zhen took off the coat of the thirteenth elder brother and returned it to him. Although it is only a low-level guard, it is also Kangxi's person, and it should not be called to be seen, so it is better to be safe.

At the foot of the mountain, the two guards retired. The thirteenth elder brother went back to Kangxi with Zhu Zhen to resume his life.

Kangxi was considerate, and asked Zhu Zhen to go back to the house to change his clothes and come back to duty later, while the thirteenth elder brother was left in Kangxi's house for questioning. What to say, Zhu Zhen naturally didn't know, at this moment, she just wanted to apply a hot towel to her face, change into dry clothes, and lie down.

In the evening, the royal driver returned to Luang and placed in the palace. Not long after dinner, Zhao Cheng came to call the bamboo basket, saying that Li Yanda asked the bamboo basket to come forward to serve. Zhu Zheng hurriedly straightened his clothes and followed Zhao Cheng over.

Quietly changed the guard, and the bamboo basket stood aside and waited for orders at any time. Kangxi was wearing Yuanqing's robe at the moment, reading a book in front of the desk, and the candlelight on the desk flickered and flickered, this atmosphere made Zhu Zhen feel a little sleepy.

"Zhuzhen, can you fulfill your wish today?" Kangxi's voice sounded, and Zhu Zheng suddenly lost a little sleepiness.

She hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Slave and maid, thank the emperor for his success." ”

Kangxi paused for a while before saying, "Can you catch up with the thirteenth elder brother?" ”

Hearing Kangxi mention this, the smile in Zhu Zheng's voice became stronger, and he said: "If you go back to the emperor, the slave maid and the two eldest brothers of the guards have been rushing for more than an hour, and it is easy to catch up with the thirteenth master." ”

Kangxi groaned and stopped moving.

The silence in the room was restored, only the occasional crackling sound of the candle wick "popping", and recalling the various things in the day and the thirteen elder brothers climbing Mount Tai, the bamboo hoop suddenly gave birth to a feeling: I wish the years were quiet and the present world was stable.
