"No, I just like to play tricks on you!" Yin Zhen sat down opposite Ling Ruo with a light smile on his face, "How, did you have a better appetite today?" ”

"It's still the same, I can't eat much." Ling Ruo replied and said, "Mama said that she didn't have much appetite in the first few months of pregnancy, and it would be fine after a while, so the fourth master doesn't have to worry too much." ”

"Who said I'm worried about you?" Seeing that Ling Ruo was stunned by his words, a smile unconsciously escaped on his handsome face, pinched Ling Ruo's small nose and said, "I'm worried about my son." ”

"Okay, it turns out that the fourth master only has children in his heart, and he has no concubines at all." Ling Ruo pretended to be angry and turned away, ignoring Yinzhen.

Seeing this, Yin Zhen smiled, grabbed Ling Ruo's fragrant Rulan body and said gently: "Okay, okay, don't be angry, I'm teasing you, the child is important, but the child's mother is equally important, I only hope that your mother and son are good." ”

"The concubine knows the way." The corners of Ling Ruo's mouth contained an indifferent smile like a flower, her soft and boneless arms climbed up Yinzhen's neck, and the wide cloud sleeves slid down the crook of her arms, revealing a pair of coral hands as red as blood, the treasure light was scorching, lining her snow-white and flawless skin even in the dark night.

Perhaps, in her life, she will not be able to become Yinzhen's favorite woman; But she will strive to become the favorite woman of King Yongjun; Forever...... Always be there for him, with their children.

There is a wordless sigh sounding in her heart, there are always regrets in such a life, but she can only do this......

After a period of warmth, Ling Ruo played with the Chaozhu around Yinzhen's neck and asked curiously, "Did the fourth master just come back from the palace?" "Usually, Yinzhen will change out of that court dress whenever he comes back, but tonight he is still wearing a stone blue embroidered four-clawed golden dragon with sea pattern court clothes, and he hasn't even picked the pearls.

"Well, after the next dynasty today, Huang Ama summoned me to the Heart Cultivation Hall to ask about some matters of the Criminal Department, so it was late." Yin Zhenxuan shook Ling Ruo's hand with an eyebrow and said with a smile: "When I accompanied Emperor Ama for dinner, he asked about your current situation, and he was very happy to learn that you were pregnant, and gave me a lot of things to bring, so that you can have a good life and will be raised, and said that after the birth of the child in the future, both men and women will personally give the name." ”

Kangxi's generous treatment of Ling Ruo, even Yinzhen was amazed, among more than ten brothers, I have never heard of a wife and concubine in a room who has been treated differently by Kangxi, even if it is the son of the prince, he has not received the grace of Kangxi's name. However, Yin Zhen is a person who has been in and out of Kangxi's study, and he has seen the portrait in the south study more than once, and the sense of déjà vu he had when he first looked at Ling Ruo by the Linyuan Pond that day stemmed from this. Although I don't know who the woman in the painting is, it is conceivable that Kangxi's attitude towards Ling Ruo must be related to this painting.

"Dog, go and bring in the things that the Emperor Ama has rewarded." Yin Zhen commanded casually, but after waiting for a long time but did not see the dog move, he twisted his eyebrows and looked back, only to see the dog standing there in a trance and not knowing what he was thinking, deaf to Yinzhen's words, and did not see the cleverness on weekdays.

"Dogs!" Under Yinzhen's deliberately aggravated tone, the dog came back to his senses, and when he saw Yinzhen staring at him with a displeased expression, he quickly knelt down and pleaded guilty.

Yin Zhen stared coldly at the top of the dog's head and said, "If you don't want to be on this errand, you can just say it, I'll send you elsewhere now." ”

The dog was startled, kowtowed with a frightened face, and said: "The slave should die, the slave should die, ask the fourth master for forgiveness, and the slave promises that he will never do it again." ”

Seeing him say this, Yinzhen's face turned slightly pale, but he still snorted coldly: "Remember your words, and I will never spare you next time." He has never been able to tolerate a grain of sand in his eyes, and while giving the people around him far more than the moon money he has elsewhere, he also requires them to do their best, and there is no room for negligence.

"Why don't you go and move the things rewarded by the emperor in, do you still want the master to move them himself?" Seeing that the dog was still kneeling there, Yinzhen kicked him angrily.

"Wow!" The dog hurriedly agreed, lowered his reddish eyes and walked out, and after a while, he saw that he led a few small servants to carry a lot of things in, mostly qi nourishing medicines, there are also pearls and satin and other things, the most unusual thing is an object carried in by two small servants, half a person high, covered with a wooden frame, inlaid with gilded carved dragons, inlaid with cockscomb stones and gold, in the middle is a disc, marked with characters that Ling Ruo does not know, among which there are two long needles of different lengths, and there is a ball shaking rhythmically at the bottom.

"Fourth Master, what is this? The concubine has never seen it. Ling Ruo watched curiously as the two little servants carefully placed their things on the stone table, and when they put them down, the slightly longer needle moved on its own.

Yin Zhen smiled and said: "This is a self-striking bell from the Western tribute, which is used to record the time. See the words in a circle? Seeing Ling Ruo nodding, he said again: "That's a Western number, representing one to twelve, each moment is equivalent to half an hour of ours, there is a mechanism set up in it, and every half an hour there will be an eagle chirping in the small grid above." The long and short needles represent the minutes and the hours, the long needles go around for half an hour, the short needles go around for six hours, and two turns mean a day and a night. ”

Ling Ruo's mind is dexterous and transparent, and after listening to Yinzhen's simple explanation, he has already understood the principle of this self-striking bell, which is useful for dripping from a copper kettle, but it is more convenient and accurate; The daily error is no more than three words of long needle, and it is only necessary for people to adjust the error on time every day.

"The emperor is generous, and the concubine deserves it." Ling Ruo said uneasily, although he didn't know how much this chiming bell was worth, just by looking at the fact that there was not even one in the Yongjun Palace, he could know how rare it was, but he was afraid that there were not even a few in the palace.

Yin Zhen patted her hand and comforted: "Huang Ama rewarded you, you can accept it, besides, you are now pregnant with a child in your womb, and it is indeed much more convenient to have a chiming clock to see the time." After ordering someone to place the self-striking bell in the main hall of Jingsiju, he said casually: "In addition, Huang Ama also pointed out that Imperial Doctor Xu took care of you and the child. ”

Hearing Rong Yuan's name, a brief shock appeared in his eyes, he thought that after the Li incident, she and Rong Yuan would return to the bridge and return to the road, and there would be no intersection again, I never thought about it......

She and Rong Yuan are entangled......

While speaking, Xiao Luzi came in with a chilled sour plum soup, and after Yinzhen took it with one hand and drank it all, he looked at Ling Ruojiao's side face and sighed: "I don't know why, it's obviously the same thing, but eating it here makes it feel more delicious than elsewhere." Ruo'er, it can't be that you have some kind of medicine in it, right? ”

Ling Ruo refilled a bowl of sour plum soup for him and joked: "Yes, yes, the concubine has poppies here, so that the fourth master can never leave it after tasting it once." ”

Yin Zhen was in a very good mood, and also joked: "Aren't you yourself the best poppy?" I can't leave you for a long time. ”

Although he knew that Yinzhen was joking, Ling Ruo was still dizzy when he heard it, and he pushed him lightly: "The fourth master who dares to love is here today to make fun of the concubine, so I ignore you!" ”

Her delicate and lovely appearance caused Yinzhen to laugh for a while, and after laughing, she shook Ling Ruoruo's boneless hand and said sincerely: "It's not a joke, it's true, Ruo'er, I really look forward to you being with me for the rest of my life, although there are countless women in this house, but only one of you makes me feel this way." ”

His words moved Ling Ruo greatly, and the love suppressed in his heart gushed out at this moment, and he held Yinzhen's generous palm tightly with his backhand, and willingly made an oath under the starry sky, "Then it's agreed, for a lifetime, unswervingly!" ”

Love--this word is too heavy, she doesn't want to think about it, as long as she knows that Yinzhen has her own in her heart...... People can't be too greedy, not to mention that she has a child to take care of; Even if there is a grievance, there should be no grievances.
