It rained for three days, and it didn't clear until noon on the third day. These days have also suffocated everyone, so they can only sleep in the village and wake up to play cards and drink.

The matter of Fourteen Beizi has also passed, and it is because of the rain in the past few days, Qianlong did not summon Gege into the palace. Gege is also rarely idle, hiding in the room and reading. Occasionally, Hongcui would say that the courtyard on the east wall was empty, and the girls and girls were all sent out. But none of that seems to have anything to do with Gege.

After eating at noon, the sun had not yet come out after the sun, and it was still a dim and dark cloud, and the birds flew out of the nest, chirping and chirping, thinking that they were foraging for food.

Gege always has the habit of taking a nap after lunch, and today the weather is cool, and his spirit is getting more and more tired. He was covered with a thin quilt, and he curled up in it and slept for more than half an hour.

Suddenly, the painting screen called Gege lightly and said, "Xiao Gege, the prince is waiting in the front hall to announce the decree." ”

Decree? In his sleep, Gege suddenly woke up. He turned over and asked, "The prince is here?" ”

Drawing screen replied, "Exactly." I just came in at this time, and said that the emperor had an edict to say to Xiao Gege. ”

Little by little, his mind finally slowly returned to the world in front of him, and Gege regained his previous composure. She bowed her head slightly and said, "Got it, let's change clothes." ”

The picture screen had already prepared Gege's formal clothes, waited for Gege to put it on, and then led Gege to the front hall of the front yard quickly.

Wang Yong sat in the hall, and there was already a secret incense serving refreshments, standing aside, and serving respectfully. When he saw Gege, Wang Yong stood up and said, "The emperor has an edict to spread Qing Gege!" ”

The mattress was placed in front of Gege. Gege knelt down to answer the order.

Wang used the unique male duck voice to resound in his ears: "Tonight, I will have dinner in Shuixin Pavilion, and I will be accompanied by Qing Gege!" ”

After reading the message, Wang Yongcai changed his smile and said to Gege: "Qing Gege, get up." The emperor's single invitation this time is a favor that others can't get. ”

The painting screen helped Gege to his feet. Gege invited Wang Yong to sit in the hall and said, "Father-in-law is laughing, how can he have such a special encounter if it is sunny." Come, come, drink tea on the surface. ”

The king said with excuses: "The tea can't be drunk, and the emperor is waiting for the servants to go back to reply to the decree." ”

Gege didn't stand in the way. Make a look at the dark incense in front. Dark Xiang took out a piece of silver, handed it to Wang Yong's hand, and said, "Father-in-law take it out to drink tea." ”

The king took it and gave a salute to retire.

There was a faint sense of unease. After thinking about it, it was just a meal in the palace, what kind of Longtan tiger's den could be, it must be too much to worry about.

The golden wisp warmed the water. Half-man tall barrel. Sprinkled with freshly blooming orchids. Dotted and clustered, like the stars in the night sky. Gege, who took off his clothes, was like white jade in the water, and the golden wisps gently poured water on his body.

Gege leaned against the wall of the barrel, his eyes slightly closed. Water slides over the skin with a rich orchid scent. It's a little thicker, but it's still very useful.

"Why doesn't Xiao Gege let Sister Hongcui serve?" There was a bit of banter in the golden thread's tone.

He was silent, as if he had fallen asleep.

"Sister Hongcui is also too naughty, and she knocked over the bucket three times and flooded the house. Luckily, this is not a splendid place. Otherwise, I am afraid that this house will be flooded today. It's funny to think about the embarrassment of being seen by the second master last time when she was wet. It's not that Jin Wei said that there should be no sister Hongcui in this house. It's a lot less fun. With that, he sneered and laughed.

Gege opened his eyes, only to see that the room was full of water and steam, the clouds were steaming, and the golden wisps in front of him were so hot that his cheeks were flushed.

"Help me out!" Gege said suddenly.

Jin Wei was surprised, glanced at Gege in panic and asked, "But is Jin Wei waiting for the wrong thing?" ”

"I'm tired, and I don't feel comfortable in the heat." Gege said.

Jin Wei replied respectfully, carefully helped Gege out of the bath, and wrapped a water-white bathrobe out. The picture screen waiting in the outhouse was seen, and he drank tea with a warm chrysanthemum nectar in the morning. Gege drank slowly.

The painting screen helped Gege back to the inner room, sat by the window and rested before changing into formal clothes to enter the palace. I have to reshape my makeup again, and it takes a long time to get dressed up.

It's almost midday. Dark incense has already prepared the car outside the door, and the painting screen helps Gege to get into the car. The bell jingled, and he came straight to the Rehe Palace.

Qianlong placed the banquet in the water heart pavilion. When Gege first arrived, he didn't know where Shui Xinxie was in the palace, but fortunately, he was led by the inner supervisor, and his eyes were confused all the way, and he didn't care about looking carefully, so he only followed the inner supervisor to a place.

The inner supervisor pointed to a pavilion in the lake and said, "That's the Water Heart Pavilion, please go over and wait!" ”

Water Heart Pavilion, as the name suggests, is the meaning of the center of the lake. From the verandah, I went to the middle of the lake, but it was a large pavilion. Standing on the pavilion, looking far away, the water waves are misty.

A feast has been set up in the middle of the pavilion. There are not many dishes on the table, but they are all exquisite, and most of them are special dishes in the imperial dining room.

Before Qianlong came, Gege stood in the center of the pavilion, watching the sunset, the water surface was sparkling, and the half round of gold also fell into the water little by little. The sunset is infinitely good, but it is just near dusk, and this dusk is also extremely beautiful in front of you.

"Why are you so distracted?"

Gege jerked his head back, hurriedly saluting.

The person who came was Qianlong. He stepped forward and helped Gege and said, "There is no one else here, what kind of courtesy do you talk to me?" ”

Gege got up and said, "Thank you for your trouble!" ”

Qianlong sat down first, pointed to the opposite side and said, "You can also sit down." Today I don't call anyone else, only me and you. A few days ago, thanks to you, otherwise things would have gotten out of nowhere. I owe you a favor, and I've always wanted to call you to dinner alone, but it's been raining for the past few days, so it's been delayed until today. ”

Gege replied softly: "It turned out to be a matter within Ruoqing's business, and the emperor didn't have to be polite!" ”

Qianlong glanced at a bowl of Sixi balls on the table. Wang comprehended it, and hurriedly put a ball into the gridding plate.

Qianlong said lightly: "I know that you have some mustard in your heart! ”

Gege hurriedly said: "Ruoqing doesn't dare!" ”

Qianlong sighed, and said in his heart: "I can't bear the matter of the eighth uncle back then, after all, they are all the sons of the Holy Grandfather, and blood is thicker than water." But the affairs of the older generation have finally passed, and after I ascended the throne, I practiced more lenient politics, which is also the same meaning. As he spoke, his voice was very gentle: "Ruoqing, do you probably understand my painstaking efforts?" I don't care about you anymore. Can't your heart for me be sincere? ”

For a while, Gege didn't know what to say, and there was a sticky thing in her throat, so that she couldn't say a word, and only choked up and called the emperor. (To be continued......)
