The master and servant made a pot of tea, sat around the table and chatted, Mo Yu was still very energetic at first, chattering about interesting things when she was at home before, as time went by, the speed of her speech slowed down significantly, and her eyelids couldn't help pulling down, yawning one after another, and after the last she actually fell asleep with her hands, Ling Ruo took a cloak and gently covered her, and then opened the door to take a walk.

The moment the door opened, she was stunned, was she dazzled? She actually saw Yinzhen in court clothes.

When Yin Zhen passed by Lanyueju just now, he thought of the woman he met when he was drunk a few days ago, and his feet involuntarily stepped in, and he was hesitating to go in, when he happened to meet her to open the door, which was really a very coincidental thing.

Seeing Ling Ruo's stunned appearance, Yin Zhen was suddenly in a good mood for no reason, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly and walked a few steps closer and said, "Why, you don't know me after only a few days?" ”

These words made Ling Ruo sure that what he saw in front of him was not a phantom, and he hurriedly saluted meticulously, "Ling Ruo has seen Lord Belle, Lord Belle is auspicious." ”

"Get up." Yin Zhen waved his hand, walked past her and walked straight to the house.

"Why did Lord Belle come here so late?" Ling Ruo came back to her senses and hurriedly followed her into the house, for fear of waking up the sleeping Mo Yu, she deliberately lowered her voice.

"Can't I come over when it's late?" Yin Zhen glanced at the room at random, I didn't look carefully last time, and now I found that this room is really simple compared to others, except for the necessary tables, chairs, cabinets and other utensils, there is no other thing, even the window paper is old and yellow, but those window flowers are very good-looking, so that the room glows with a trace of vitality.

"That's not what the concubine meant." Ling Ruo hurriedly defended, his expression was slightly embarrassed, today's Yinzhen was in the palace for a banquet and then returned to the house for a family banquet, and he was wearing a court dress and the crown was not removed. I saw that he wore a two-layer green fox crown of golden dragons on his head, decorated with ten eastern pearls, with a ruby on the top, dressed in a stone green dragon coat, embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon, a dragon on both shoulders and a dragon before and after, with five-colored clouds between them, a sable on the collar and clothes, a smoked mink at the end of the sleeves, and a flat water with eight treasures under the eight treasures, revealing the golden lining inside between the steps, and the golden silk silk hanging down from the pearl around the neck. This dress makes his already extremely handsome and upright face more and more outstanding, the only drawback is that his expression is too cold and detached, and there are more than a dozen sons in the saint today, I really don't know why he is the only one who has developed an arrogant and indifferent temperament.

"You're going to eat this tonight?" Yin Chen pointed to the remaining dumplings on the table and asked, seeing Ling Ruo nodding his eyebrows trembling slightly, he said in a deep voice: "Didn't I order the kitchen to give each Gege's meal on Chinese New Year's Eve two meats, two vegetables and four-color snacks in addition to dumplings?" ”

"Maybe I forgot about it when the kitchen was busy." Ling Ruo replied lightly, the unfavored Gege is nothing in this palace, and the subordinates who are used to stepping on high and low will naturally not put it in their eyes, and they can be bullied and deducted.

Yin Zhen is such a smart and obedient person, how could he not understand the mystery, his face sank and he snorted coldly: "I have repeatedly ordered the house not to deceive the upper and lower levels, but I didn't expect that there are still people who dare to be bold, dog!" ”

"The minions are here." With Yinzhen's shouting, a young man with a thin body but full of agility ran in from outside the courtyard, lowered his hand and asked respectfully, "What does the fourth master command?" ”

"Ming'er will tell the people in charge of this matter in the kitchen to get out of Baylor Mansion as soon as it dawns, and they are not allowed to make a living in Beijing after they get out of Baylor Mansion, and you go and ask Gao Fu, how did he control his subordinates and raise such a group of bullying dogs, if he thinks that this position of manager is too boring, he doesn't mind changing people." Yinzhen said coldly, there was a cold light flashing in his dark eyes, Sen Sen was like a steel knife, the dog had followed Yinzhen for many years, knowing that he was really angry, he didn't dare to say more, and quietly retreated after noting his words.

While they were talking, Mo Yu opened her eyes in a daze, and when she saw Yinzhen in front of her, she jumped up from the chair in fright, completely sleepy, and stammered: "Slave, slave and maid please be happy to Lord Belle, and Lord Belle is blessed." "Why does this master scare her every time he appears, and if she continues like this, she has to scare her soul out.

"I don't need you to wait here, let's go down." Yin Zhen waved her hand to signal her to go out, Mo Yu quietly glanced at Ling Ruo, and saw that she also nodded before she retreated.

"Are you still used to living here?" Yin Zhen coughed lightly, breaking the uncomfortable silence of people.

Ling Ruo poured him a cup of tea and said, "It doesn't matter if you are used to it or not, just adapt to it, there are some food and clothing on the left and right, and the concubine has not thought too much." ”

"Really? Why do I think you're blaming me for not treating you well? Yin Zhen squinted her eyes, did not take the tea she handed over, and let the water vapor rise between the two, blurring each other's faces and eyes.

"Lord Belle thinks too much." She put down the teacup that was already too hot to hold, and said with a shallow smile: "As far as the concubine is concerned, a spoonful of food and a scoop of water is enough, there are so many people in Baylor Mansion, and there are many things in the court, how can Baylor have only one person and one pair of eyes, how can he take care of it." ”

"You can talk." Yin Zhen may not have believed her words, but her face softened a little, and she said with a turquoise string of pearls: "What time is it?" ”

"About a child." As soon as Ling Ruo's words fell, she felt her hand tighten, and a thick big hand firmly grasped her and walked out, until she walked to the edge of the Pujia Pond before she stood still, Ling Ruo stroked her chest and gasped: "What are you doing here with your concubine?" ”

Yinzhen didn't answer, just raised his hand and patted it, only to see the dog and the other person who appeared just now holding a few swarthy boxes and putting them on the ground, and respectfully handed the two fire folds to Yinzhen, and then bowed and retreated into the distance.

"Lord Belle, you ......" Ling Ruo's words were interrupted by a sharp sound of breaking the air, and following the prestige, he saw countless fires rising in the direction of the Forbidden City, blooming in the night sky together, turning into stars and sparks after the extreme dazzling eyes, and then blooming and disappearing, and repeatedly. At the same time, fireworks were set off again in other parts of the capital, and the sound of crackling fireworks was even more lively than before.

Ling Ruo saw Yinzhen's mouth move, but it was too noisy to hear what he was saying, until he blew up one of the fire folds and handed it to her, pointed to the black boxes on the ground, attached it to his ear, and said loudly, "You go and light the fireworks." ”

It turned out that these were fireworks, Ling Ruo suddenly took the fire fold and walked over step by step, not only was he not afraid of the opposite, but he was a little excited in his heart, when the family was still in a good situation before, there were also fireworks during the Chinese New Year, but at that time, Ama Eniang was afraid that she would be injured and never let her light the fire, so she could only watch the eldest brother set off with her younger siblings on the side.

Ling Ruo and Yinzhen each lit the fuse together, and then quickly retreated, the lead shortened sharply in the spark, and when it disappeared completely, I saw a ball of fire flashing in front of him, blooming his most beautiful posture in the night sky, facing the splendor that he had ignited with his own hands, Ling Ruo was unconsciously stupid, and did not find Yinzhen's abnormality.

The smooth and mirror-like Pujia pool reflects the beauty of the night sky, Yinzhen looked at the pool silently, but there was no joy on his face, he should have set off fireworks here with Mei'er, but Mei'er finally chose the eighth child and turned his back on him, Mei'er, you know that I love you so much, you know that I regard you as life, how can you be so ruthless, how can you!

The hand was clenched into a fist, the knuckles turned white because of too much force, the cyan blood vessels seemed to break out at any time, and the sadness that had been suppressed for too long burst out in an instant, making him extremely painful, when Yinzhen was almost collapsing, a pair of soft little hands held his hand, and slowly but firmly broke his fingers one by one, and when they were all broken, there was a broken jade wrench in his palm.

"How long are you going to torture yourself before you stop?" Facing his cold and unwarm gaze, Ling Ruo let out a long sigh, clenched his slightly trembling hand and said word by word: "There is not only one Mei'er girl in this world, and your life is not only one Mei'er girl. You are the fourth master, the fourth Belle master, the most honorable prince of the Qing Dynasty, not the ordinary mediocre ordinary people, your life should be with the splendid rivers and mountains of the Qing Dynasty, and the people of the world. Miss Mei'er is just a passerby in your life, not all, not now, and never will be. ”

"You're getting more and more arrogant." His indifferent voice seemed to come from hell, with a heavy smell of death.

Ling Ruo smiled and smiled, "If you can let go of the obsession in your heart and cheer up again, it doesn't matter if you make it happen again." Speaking of the last sentence, his expression was extremely serious, he stretched his sleeves, knelt down upright, and said: "Please treat the concubine for the crime of trespassing!" These words are both calculating but also a little sincere, she empathizes with his pain, the difference is only that she restrained it and sealed it in her heart, while he didn't.

The ground was as hard as iron, and it hurt to kneel on it, and for a long time, the kneeling legs were a little numb, and then I heard a tired sigh, and a pair of big hands held her elbows, "Get up, the ground is cold." ”

Ling Ruo had never seen Yinzhen's face so ugly, pale and pale, as if he had just been seriously ill, pulling the corners of his mouth to reveal an ugly smile, "You are very bold, even Fu Jin dare not say these words." However, it is true that even if I drive myself crazy, Mei'er will not change her mind, but will teach people to read jokes. "The first one will be the eighth! Yinzhen didn't say this.

"It's good that Lord Belle can figure it out." Ling Ruo sighed secretly, she was really afraid that Yin Zhen would punish her in anger, but fortunately...... Thankfully, everything was as she thought.

"Call me the fourth master, I like to hear you call me that." Yinzhen suddenly said such a sentence.

"Yes, Fourth Master." Ling Ruo obediently agreed, his eyes drooped, and he fell on the cracked jade wrench finger in Yinzhen's palm, "Can the fourth master give this to the concubine?" ”

"What are you going to do?" This jade wrench finger was rewarded by Kangxi in the year of Yinzhen's coming-of-age ceremony, and the old pit glass species of Shanghao Lu has been carried in his hand for so many years, he likes it very much, and he can't imagine that this time it was inadvertently cracked, which is a pity.

"This wrench is so jade-colored, it's a pity to throw it away, the concubine thinks that the left and right are just a few cracks, and it is not very broken, and it can be worn after being wrapped with gold edges."

"You?" Yin Zhen smiled dumbly, and pulled Ling Ruo's delicate hand to compare with himself, the size of the thumbs of the two was very different, "Are you sure you can wear it?" ”

Ling Ruo'e's eyebrows frowned slightly, and then she stretched out again: "Even if you can't bring it on your hand, the concubine can take a silk thread and hang it around her neck." ”

"That's a good idea, so let's reward you, I'll ask the craftsman to make it up and send it to you later." Yinzhen thought about it and agreed to her request.

"Fourth Master Xie." Ling Ruo gave him a faint smile back, it was this smile that stopped lightly, but it made Yinzhen remember it for a lifetime, and for decades after that, no matter whether he hated or loved, this smile has never been extinguished, and he will remember it for a long time.

Three lives of fireworks, in exchange for a lifetime of confusion, is fate or sin, and it is difficult to distinguish in the end......
