Ling Ruo shook his head and said: "No, this palace just thinks it's better to be careful, after all, the queen is so suspicious, maybe she will be suspicious of Yingchun, if you meet her at this time, won't she just be discovered." ”

Seeing that this was the case, Sanfu relieved himself slightly, "Yes, the slave will be careful." ”

After everything was ordered, Ling Ruo picked up the book again, but this time he only read it for a while and yawned twice in a row, Shui Xiu saw this and said, "Master, you are tired for a day, rest early, this book can also be read tomorrow." ”

"I have to continue to prepare for going to the Old Summer Palace tomorrow, how can I have time to look at it." Saying this, Ling Ruo still put the book down, Shui Xiu took the opportunity to put the book away, and said with a smile: "The master works so hard, and the uninformed people see it and say that the master is going to take the top prize!"

Yang Hai said playfully: "Who said it wasn't, it's a pity that we don't let women take the top exam in the Qing Dynasty, otherwise as soon as the master goes, those talents will have to be put aside." ”

Ling Ruo lightly slapped Yang Hai on the head and scolded with a smile: "You two are neither big nor small, you dare to even joke with your master, right?" Beware of the palace punishing you to pour night incense. ”

As soon as they heard this, Yang Hai and Shui Xiu hurriedly smiled, and said solemnly: "The slave doesn't dare." ”

Seeing the two of them change their faces so quickly, Sanfu couldn't help laughing, Ling Ruo shook his head again and again, waved his hand, and said, "Okay, except for Shui Xiu who stays to change clothes for the palace, you two can go down and rest." ”

After serving Ling Ruo to bed, Shui Xiu turned off the lights and retreated, only a small lamp on the copper lampstand was still on, Ling Ruo didn't sleep well this night, always dreaming, she dreamed of a small Jiyue, dreamed of Xiaoluzi, dreamed of Wen Ruyan, dreamed of Nian's, one dream after another, until dawn completely woke up from the dream, felt cool on the cheeks, raised her hand to touch it, and touched a wet water stain.

Unconsciously, she has lost so many people around her, and every time she loses one, she will be sad, and even when the Nian clan she originally hated left, she felt sad.

Life is really impermanent, she doesn't know who will be the next turn, she just wants to do her best to protect the people around her, so as not to let the sadness spread into a disaster.

For this purpose, she must get rid of the queen, get rid of this crazy and paranoid woman, even if she is unscrupulous, even if she hurts the vulture, she will not hesitate to do anything.

In the following days, Ling Ruo hid all his hatred in his heart, and only concentrated on preparing to go to the Old Summer Palace for the New Year, and after many discussions with the Internal Affairs Office, he finally set the date of leaving the palace, December 20; In addition, the matter of Bing Xi was also prepared, and Yin Zhen Xing caused it, and even claimed that the victor in Bing Xi could be given a jade wrench on his finger in Su Ri.

In the past, Kangxi had rewarded Yinzhen with a jade wrench, but unfortunately it was broken, although it was put together later, it was no longer suitable for wearing on the finger, and Ling Ruo had been hanging it around his neck as a pendant.

Yinzhen now has this in his hand, although it is not rewarded by Kangxi, but he has also worn it for many years, and he has never left his body, and some people even think that this wrench is a symbol of the emperor's identity.

Although it is just an imagination, it still makes countless people excited, eager to try, and one by one they hold back their energy to practice ice frolic skills at home. Especially Hongday, he is the happiest, the wrench is secondary, and the most important thing is that he can play ice play openly, and even Yu Concubine will not talk about him like before.

Hongli often came to Chengqian Palace to take Hongli to practice, since the last time he was told by Yinzhen and Ling Ruo successively, Hongli let go a lot, and no longer tied himself tightly as before.

I don't know if it's because of this, his archery skills have also improved compared to before, and he can do sixty steps through Yang without vain, which makes Hongli envious, although he also wants to be like Hongli, but now he can only do forty steps through Yang at most, and he can only hit seven times at most out of ten.

The originally slightly boring days passed quickly because of this incident, and soon it was December 20, early in the morning, Yinzhen and Nala came out side by side from the main gate of the noon gate, and Ling Ruo and other concubines went out from the side door, and each boarded the Luan chariot that was waiting there early.

The emperor and queen rode together on the royal chariot, walking in the front, Ling Ruo followed closely with Hongli and Jinluan, and then followed by the Guarjia clan, Dai Jia clan and various nobles, Chang Zai, etc.; Luan drove after the palace people who followed, although there were people waiting in the Old Summer Palace, but there were people around the concubines who were used to it, how to be willing to change strangers, they were all brought with them, yes, the palace people who followed behind Luan's driving, plus the accompanying guards of the inner guards were full of thousands of people, stretching for several miles, attracting people along the road to visit.

Hongli sat in Luan's car and opened the small half of the curtain and excitedly looked at the people on both sides who were blocked by the officers and soldiers of the Yacha sent by Yin of Shuntian Mansion, since Yinzhen succeeded to the throne as emperor, he was out of the palace for the first time.

Sanfu dragged his inconvenient legs to the side, saw Hongli poking his head out, and said with a smile: "Is it the first time for the fourth elder brother to come out?" ”

Hongli shook his head and said, "I've been out of the palace before, but it's the first time I've seen such a lively scene." After that, he said with some envy: "Look at how comfortable they are one by one, as if they have no troubles." ”

Sanfu shook his head and said: "The fourth elder brother said that it was funny, how can people live in the world without troubles, it's just that their troubles are not known to the fourth elder brother." Moreover, the minions guarantee that they must be very envious of the fourth elder brother in their hearts, thinking that the fourth elder brother is the one who has no troubles. ”

"Me?" Hongli pointed to himself and shook his head with a smile, this is really like a person drinking water and knowing himself, although he is a brother, he doesn't need to worry about his livelihood, but he has no freedom, before Huang Ama became the emperor, he walked around except for the palace is the palace; Later, Huang Ama ascended the throne as the emperor, and in the past three years, he has never left the palace for a single step. He really wanted to go outside the vermilion wall to see freely, but he also knew his identity, so he never mentioned it.

Sanfu is a person who is very good at observing words and feelings, otherwise he would not be able to wait by the side of the Nala clan for more than 20 years, so as soon as he heard Hongli's slightly lost word, he understood his thoughts and comforted: "Fourth elder brother, you will be fifteen after the New Year, and at most the emperor will marry you at the age of sixteen, and then open your teeth outside the palace to build a mansion, and when the time comes, you can also be as comfortable as them." ”

Hongli didn't speak, just looked greedily at the curious and amazed people, and he knew in his heart that he would never be as comfortable as them.

After he lowered the curtain, Ling Ruo patted his hand and said, "In life, everyone will be unsatisfactory, the key is, what will you do when you face dissatisfaction?" Hongli, born in the emperor's family, may not be lucky, but not necessarily unlucky. ”
