When the royal car returned to Luan, the Forbidden City was another lively atmosphere.

In the same month, the holy decree came down and gave the daughter of Langzhong Ahazhan Guerjia to marry the thirteenth elder brother, and the thirteenth elder brother opened his teeth to build a mansion and chose a day to complete the marriage.

This holy decree is undoubtedly another thunderstorm, and the people in the palace have their own thoughts, some are happy and some are suspicious. Taishan and his party, the thirteenth elder brother occupied the scenery, and even the prince was compared. Now that he has returned to the palace, Kangxi has issued an order to marry and build a mansion, which means to an adult elder brother, everyone knows in their hearts.

Zhu Zhen and the thirteenth elder brother met again, and it was half a month after the holy decree. On that day, Zhu Zhen was rarely ordered to go to the Heart Cultivation Palace, and he met the thirteenth elder brother who had just come out of the Qianqing Palace. The thirteenth elder brother should not have seen the bamboo basket, and the bamboo basket saw the Qianqing Palace, so it was not much of a problem, and called the thirteenth elder brother. The thirteenth elder brother turned around and saw that it was a bamboo basket, and his face was a little unnatural, neither standing nor walking, until the bamboo basket approached.

Before Zhu Zhen could speak, he said, "The fourth brother has something to do with me, so I'll leave first." "I'm going to leave.

Zhu Ji hurriedly grabbed him and said, "What's the rush like this, it's so easy to see each other, and you don't even have the time to say two words?" ”

The thirteenth elder brother wanted to say something, but he didn't speak for a long time, but he made Zhu Ji see that something was wrong, and she said, "What's wrong with you?" I see you very leisurely on weekdays, but today it is like a fire that burns your eyebrows. Why, when you become a parent, you have more errands? ”

As soon as these words came out, the thirteenth elder brother seemed to be anxious, but he only shouted "bamboo basket", and there was no follow-up.

There must be something wrong, Zhu Zhen is sure this time, she simply let go, and said: "Since the thirteenth master has something important to do, the slave and maid are not good at delaying the master's kung fu, the thirteenth master, you go slowly, and the slave and maid retire." The bamboo basket blessed his body and turned around to leave.

This time, it was the thirteenth elder brother who called out to her, and he turned to Zhu Zhen and said, "Zhu Zhen, don't be angry with me, after the will of Huang Ama, do I still want to resist the will?" ”

Hearing the words of the thirteenth elder brother, Zhu Zhen stopped her steps, this made her very puzzled, she raised her head and asked: "What does the emperor's decree have to do with me, and where do you start to resist the decree?" ”

When the thirteenth elder brother heard this, he was stunned, and then he said: "This marriage is ......" hesitated for a while, he said uncertainly, "Are you not reluctant at all?" ”

Zhu Zhen asked him to be stunned, and she said: "The emperor gave you a marriage, and the side Fujin is the Guarjia clan, what does this have to do with my reluctance or reluctance?" ”

The thirteenth elder brother didn't reply for a long time, and suddenly laughed, he smiled: "It's hard to believe that I have avoided you these days, and I told you somehow, this is because I overestimated myself, and you didn't take it to heart at all." As he spoke, he played a bamboo basket.

Zhu Zhen opened his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, you narcissistic thirteenth master, I'll say, why haven't you seen your figure since the southern tour, dare to avoid me with your heart!" ”

The thirteenth elder brother hurriedly said: "How is this a heart? I'm not afraid of breaking the little girl's heart! ”

Zhu Ji ignored his rhetoric, spread his palms and said, "Take it." ”

"What?" The thirteenth elder brother looked at the palm of the bamboo basket and was stunned.

"Huh? Someone promised to come back and send a surprise, but now that the southern tour has passed, why is there no shadow? "Zhu Zhen didn't look at the thirteenth elder brother, and said to himself.

The thirteenth elder brother smiled and opened the hand of the bamboo basket and said, "You are a greedy girl, you have encountered such a good thing as the Southern Tour, what else do you want?" ”

"How is that the same? The southern tour is the emperor's will, how can it be counted as yours? "The bamboo basket does not follow.

The thirteenth elder brother smiled and took out a brown rain stone from his purse, handed it to the bamboo basket and said, "I was thinking of sending it to you another day, but you girl is going to come to the door by herself." ”

The bamboo hoop played with the stone, and it was cool to start, and there were milky white lines on the stone, which actually looked like a dragon?! Zhu Zhen said happily: "This is a naturally formed pattern? ”

The thirteenth elder brother nodded and said, "I remember that you were born in the twenty-seventh year of Kangxi, the same year as the fourteenth brother, and you should be a dragon." Last time in Mount Tai, I found such a stone, and I saw it too, so I kept it for you. ”

The bamboo lady put the Taishan stone into the small purse he carried with him, and said: "What can be seen, it is obviously very beautiful, thank you for the gift of the thirteenth master, the slave likes it very much." ”

The thirteenth elder brother looked at the bamboo basket and smiled heartlessly, he was in a trance for a while, stunned, and said, "Isn't it on duty?" Don't go yet! ”

Only then did Zhu Zhen remember that there was still Kangxi's imperial order, and he hurriedly said: "Oops! When I talk to you, I forget about serious things. As he spoke, he hurriedly went to the Heart Cultivation Palace. After walking a few steps, the bamboo basket stopped again, and when she turned around and saw that the thirteenth elder brother was still standing in the distance, she walked back to the thirteenth elder brother and said, "Thirteenth master, can you give me another gift?" ”

The thirteenth elder brother smiled: "Say it." ”

Zhu Zhen smiled flatteringly and said, "If the slave and maid can't marry in the future, ask the thirteenth master to take it in." Seeing that the thirteenth elder brother was silent, Zhu Zhen added, "The maid and the old mother are fine." "I don't know how to give birth to this idea, perhaps, it is the best for him, wholeheartedly good, and good without pressure.

The thirteenth elder brother pinched the chin of the bamboo basket and did a lot of it before he spoke: "Well, the teeth are average, so think about it." ”

Zhu Zhen was stunned for a moment, slapped away the hand of the thirteenth elder brother, and said angrily: "I'm not an animal, what a tooth!" ”

The thirteenth elder brother laughed and said: "Look at your fried hair, you are quite energetic, so the master will reluctantly accept you." After saying that, the thirteenth elder brother patted the hem of his robe and left leisurely.

Zhu Zhen gritted his teeth hatefully, obviously he had the upper hand every time, how did this kid become a parent, after building a mansion, he was a lot more clever in his mouth. Zhu Zhen was not convinced for a while.

It's another year of New Year's Closure, and Zhu Ji can't help but sigh, and before he knows it, he is going to have a second New Year. At the end of November, somehow, Kangxi ordered the palace maids to be transferred from various palaces to each place, which was still a period of time before the next year from the Han military flag to select and transfer palace maids to fill the court.

Zhu Zhen didn't think so much, he thought that the second New Year would be spent in Qianqing Palace, although the first time in Babeile Mansion, it was still lively, but in Qianqing Palace, it was really going to be deserted. Now that Kangxi has returned it, Zhu Zhen is a hundred willing, but it's a pity that the books in the Maoqin Palace have gone back to Concubine Liang, I'm afraid I won't see it anymore. Thinking like this, Zhu Zhen memorized a few geometry problems, and after returning to the house, he was silent, planning to go back to Chuxiu Palace to relieve boredom.

Seeing the bamboo basket coming back, the best sisters in Chuxiu Palace had a quarrel with her, and Concubine Liang was already lenient to the palace people, and she was next to the New Year, and the palace maids and eunuchs were more noisy than before.

Yingluo brought a basket of food to eat, and there was even half a pot of osmanthus stuffed, in the bamboo house, plus Aunt Huashu and Chunliu, a few people around the table to drink. Aunt Hua Shu only drank one cup, ate two chopsticks dishes, and then got off the table and went to duty. The bamboo basket and a few people couldn't keep her, so they let her go. Come to think of it, she also poured out of the house and tossed the three of them.

Among the three, Yingluo has the most straightforward temperament, and with her, she can always enliven the atmosphere. Chunliu is quieter, although he has been on duty for some days, and he has let go of a lot in front of the bamboo basket than before, but in essence, he is still the original cautious and inferior person.

I only heard Yingluo say: "Zhu Zheng, have you seen the Fourteenth Master?" ”

Fourteen elder brothers? A vague figure appeared in Zhu Zheng's mind, it was still when he first entered the palace, he was only in a hurry, and now he can't even remember what he looks like, he only remembers that he was an arrogant little boy.

Zhu Zhen shook his head at Yingluo.

Yingluo said: "Since Qiu Bao came back, the fourteenth master has always run here, and I heard the first aunt say that the fourteenth master is good friends with our master, and he used to move around a lot, but then somehow, I haven't seen him for a while." Now, I'm running harder than before. ”

Zhu Zhen remembered in a trance that the little boy held his head high and said that he wanted her to wait, waiting for the next time they met, he would be taller than her.

After that, Yingluo seemed to have said a lot of things, and Zhu Zhen didn't take it to heart, only said that he had drunk wine, and he was a little upset. At the end of the meal, most of the half pot of wine went into Yingluo's stomach. Chunliu has been drinking, but she is never seen adding wine.

Zhu Zhen rubbed his forehead, looking at Yingluo who was lying on the table, her head was a little big, Chunliu saw this, got up and said, "Sister rest, I'll help Sister Yingluo back." ”

Zhu Zhen really had a headache, said a few words of thanks, and let her go to help Yingluo, while she went around the screen and fell asleep on the bed.

When he woke up again, it was already dark, and Zhu Zhen looked outside and was stunned for a few seconds, and suddenly woke up. I got up and lit the lamp, washed, dressed, combed my hair, and was on duty at night!

While tidying up, the bamboo basket complained that in ancient times, no watch, no alarm clock would be a mistake. Fortunately, the hair didn't fall asleep, just combed the broken hair into it, and it was easy to fool over at night.

Hurriedly out of the house, the bamboo basket walked quickly to the study, I hope it is not late. When he turned around to turn into the courtyard gate, the bamboo basket collided with the people who came out of the courtyard with a "bang", but fortunately he was stopped by someone who came, and the bamboo basket was not knocked to the ground. The bamboo basket was busy apologizing on the one hand, and wanted to bypass it on the other.

"What's so hot?" The other party was stunned for a moment and asked.

Hearing Babel's voice, the bamboo basket fell silent. At this time, the two stood sideways, Zhu Bei turned his head to look at him, Ba Beile was also turning his head to look at her, Zhu Ji turned around and asked for An: "The slave and the maid are reckless, please forgive the eighth master." ”

Babel let the bamboo basket get up, and then said, "Why is it in such a hurry?" ”

Zhu Zhen said: "Back to the eighth master, the slave maid was on duty at night, and when she woke up, she saw that it was already dark outside, and she was afraid that she had slept, so she hurried over." collided with the eighth master, please punish the master. ”

Babel smiled: "Don't be in such a hurry, the time hasn't passed yet, go slowly, don't fall." ”

The time has not yet passed? Zhu Zheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and Fang Jue was already sweating a lot on his back. She said, "Thank you for mentioning it." ”

"Starling!" There was a voice from afar behind him, but it didn't look like the voices of the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother.

Babel said to Zhu Zhen, "You go in first." ”

The bamboo basket said yes and advanced to the study.

Babel greeted him and said with a smile: "The fourteenth brother is here." ”

"Who did the starlings talk to?" Brother Fourteen asked.

"A palace maid serving in E-Niang's study, ask her what books E-Niang has been reading recently." Babel said casually.

The fourteenth elder brother did not continue the topic, and instead said: "I heard the tenth brother say that the eighth brother wants to invite his younger brothers to drink in the evening?" ”

Babel couldn't help but smile and patted the fourteenth elder brother's shoulder: "Since you are indispensable, I just went to your post with Ming Quan, but I didn't think you would find it yourself." ”

The fourteenth elder brother smiled "hehe" and said, "Brother, I didn't come here because I found the fragrance of wine!" The fourteenth elder brother said again, "Can the ninth and tenth brothers arrive?" ”

Babel said: "The next person replied, this is it." Babel patted the fourteenth elder brother's back with one hand and said, "Let's go over first." ”

The fourteenth elder brother and the eight Baylors said goodbye and went to the flower hall together.
