CHAPTER XIX

Nian Yuyao is really extraordinarily arrogant. She actually scolded Xiao Shunzi dissatisfiedly: "You dog slave dare to call me Fang Fujin."

I smiled and asked Xiao Shunzi to get up: "Nian side Fujin. People say that it depends on the owner to beat the dog. No matter how Xiao Shunzi is, he is also the person next to Huang Ama. You do. Aren't you afraid of upsetting Emperor Amma?"

Nian Yuyao sneered: "Hmph. No matter what. It's just a minion."

I laughed: "Little Shunzi. You go to the side first. I'll talk to Nian Bian Fujin." I deliberately accentuated the word "side". Laughing at Nian Yuyao's face, it continued to crack.

Junko refuses to leave in fear. Look at me and say, "Princess......"

I whispered, "It's fine. Go for it."

Xiao Shunzi had to step aside. I took two light steps. Approaching Nian Yuyao: "What do you think you are. You're just a slave of the Aixin Jueluo family."

Her torn voice shouted, "You're a minion. I am Prince Yong's side concubine. You're the minion."

I nodded, "yes. It's just a side concubine. What do you call the emperor? It's called 'Hooray'. I've always called him 'Emperor Ama'. I am the only Gulun princess of the Qing Dynasty. Status: Honorable. You're just a tool to marry back and have children. What else do you think you have?"

"My brother is a general."

I laughed, "And then. I am the pearl of the Queen Mother's palm. She is the distant granddaughter of the Queen Mother."

Nian Yuyao was so angry that her pretty face turned pale. Gritted his teeth and couldn't speak. Trembling all over. I looked at her with a sneer. Suddenly she jumped over and tore at my clothes. Junko hurriedly ran over and pulled her away. I looked down. The foxskin cloak was torn by her fingernails......

"How dare you tear my cloak......"

I slapped her in the face in disgust: "This cloak. It was given by the Queen Mother during her lifetime. You ruined this cloak. That is the sin of deceit. Can you afford it?"

"It's just a torn cloak. What's the big deal. You mean woman. Vixen."

I don't want to pester her anymore. Shake your hand and leave: "Little Shunzi. Let's go."

Nian Yuyao is free of the shackles of Xiaoshunzi. Pounced again. I shook her off. She stumbled in the snow. I raised my eyebrows coldly: "Nian Yuyao. Don't overdo it. Today's thing. I don't care about you. Don't mess me up. If I told Huang Ama about today's events. Do you think you're going to get better?"

"What's going on?"

Suddenly a voice came. Let me turn my head. Take a look. It's the fourteenth master.

I smiled and greeted him: "Brother Fourteen."

"Jiya. What's going on." In front of others. He always calls me Jiya.

I smiled, "Nothing. I accidentally slipped while talking to me. Nails cut through my fox fur cloak."

"Isn't this the fox fur cloak that your grandmother gave you. Such a fox fur cloak. Even in the palace. It is also a rare piece for more than ten years. Grandmother loves you. Whoever wants it can't ask for it. I gave it to you." The Fourteenth Master looked at the broken hole in my cloak. Said with a frown.

Nian Yuyao had already stood up with the support of Xiao Shunzi. The fourteenth master said to her: "Nian side Fujin. Go back to your home. If this is known to the Emperor. You've cut through this cloak. It's going to be punished."

The Fourteenth Master said so. Although Nian Yuyao is still resentful of me. In the end, I could only flick my sleeves and leave.

She's gone. The Fourteenth Master frowned and said, "You girl. It's too inappropriate. How can she make such a fuss. What a pity this cloak is broken. You don't feel good either, do you?"

I frowned: "It's a shame for this cloak. Who would have thought that she would pounce on her like that. I'm still such a delicate lady. Not really." I shook my head. Distressed, he said, "What can I do? You've got to find a way to make it up."

The Fourteenth Master looked at it: "I'm afraid that there really isn't such a good white fox skin that can be used for your cloak for you."

"Hey......" I don't want to talk about it anymore. I asked him, "Why did you get out too?"

"I see you're gone. Nian Yuyao didn't go back for a long time. I'm afraid you'll have conflicts. Hurry up and take a look. It turned out to be too late. You're not hurt, are you?"

I shook my head: "No. She got a slap in the face. I'm afraid I won't give up."

"What if you don't give up? She can only eat this dumb loss today. Your slap doesn't look light. Her face was swollen. It's still a matter of how to explain it when I go back." The Fourteenth Master chuckled.

I also smiled and nodded: "Indeed. I'll do it. How can there be mercy."

The Fourteenth Master stretched out his hand and straightened my cloak: "Go and rest. I've got to go back quickly."

I nodded: "Go ahead. It's not good if you've been out for too long."

After the Fourteenth Master left. I looked at his back and sighed. Then he held Xiao Junzi's arm: "Let's go."

I just walked to the door of my small courtyard in Qianqing Palace. I heard someone shouting to me, "Auntie......"

The voice......

I shook off the little straight. Hurriedly turned around to look. Hiroshi is standing in the white snow. A royal blue robe. Even the cloak was not approved.

I called him distressedly: "Hongshi ......"

He ran over and threw himself into my arms: "Auntie...... Aunt...... Aunt ......"

"My poor child...... Why didn't you even put on your cloak and run out?" I held his face. I was so distressed that I couldn't do it: "Look at it. This little face is so cold."

I quickly asked Junko to push the door of the small courtyard open. I've lit a brazier in the house today. I pulled Hiroshi into the house and sat down. Rubbing his hands, "It's frozen."

Hiroshi shook his head: "Auntie. That bad woman didn't hurt you."

"Nope. Rest assured. Your aunt is so easily hurt."

Hiroshi snorted: "She's too bad. When I was in the house, I always wanted to bully me and my younger brothers. It's not good for anyone in the house."

I touched Hiroshi's head: "My little Hiroshi hasn't been bullied."

Hiroshi shook his head: "No. Aunt...... I miss you so much......"

I've been around for years. I'm most sorry. Actually, it's Hongshi's child. He's the closest to me. But I haven't set foot in the Fourth Master's Mansion in the past few years. So I haven't been able to see this kid.

I've heard everything from the Dark Guard, though. But I didn't get to see this kid with my own eyes. I couldn't comfort him properly.

I touched his face distressedly: "Good boy. Is it strange for my aunt. Auntie, I'm sorry for you......"

Hiroshi said anxiously, "Auntie. I don't blame you. You do that. There must be a reason why you have to do that. I don't blame you. Really."

"Good boy. Shrewd. How have the past few years. Have you studied well?"

Hiroshi nodded: "Hmm. I'm very well-behaved. I've been listening to my aunt. Be a good boy."

"That's nice." I touched his head: "How do you know. I must be your aunt."

Hiroshi smiled innocently: "From the day you came back. When Amma was in the small courtyard of the study. Occasionally, I'll laugh a little. In the days when you are away. His face was frighteningly gloomy. See you again today. I'm even more sure. Only my aunt is like that."

"You kid ......" Hiroshi's intimacy. It always comforts me.

Hiroshi lay on my lap: "Auntie. I really miss you......"

"My poor child. Aunt misses you too. Really."

He just lay quietly on my lap. It's still like the little kid back then.

I feel sorry for Hiroshi. It's like feeling sorry for your own child. After Little Eighteen is gone. He's my favorite kid.

I just stayed there quietly for a while. He looked up: "Auntie. I've got to go back."

I pinched his face: "Go back. Child. When did you miss me. Just go to my house. I'm always there."

"Really."

"Hmm. If I enter the palace. You're just waiting for me in the house. I also have a pair of sika deer in my house. Do you like it?"

"Like."

I patted him on the head: "My Hiroshi is so good. So many years have passed. Still so kind."

"My brother said that. Let me listen to my aunt. Be a good person."

I think of Hongyun who died young. I couldn't help but feel sad: "Your brother. It would be nice if it was still there......"

"Auntie. Auntie, don't cry." Hiroshi said anxiously, "Auntie. I'm not here to make you cry."

I smiled, "It's fine. My aunt doesn't cry. Go back quickly. It's cold outside. Don't stay out and about. Good job."

"Hmm." Hiroshi walked out of the small courtyard step by step.

I think of the torn cloak. Frowning and asking, "Xiao Shunzi. Does the Ministry of Internal Affairs have any good fox skins lately?"

"Princess. Not really. Such a good fox fur. You don't necessarily deserve one a year."

"Oh......" I sighed, "that's it...... Take your time." I thought. Days like this. Xiao Shunzi must be going to worship Liang Jiugong. Hurriedly asked him, "Have you worshiped your master?"

Xiao Shunzi shook his head: "It's not too late. The minions are now in front of the emperor all year round. There's a lot more to do. I haven't even bothered to ...... yet."

"Anyway, you're still thinking about him. Remember to help me put on the pillar incense. When your master was there. Excellent for me......"

Xiao Shunzi knelt down and cried: "Slave thank you princess. Thank you on behalf of Master."

"Hurry up." I hurriedly got him up: "Although you are a slave in the palace. But they're all people. Good for me. I'm going to remember."

"Princess. Take a break. The servant is going to bring you tea."

I nodded, "Go ahead."

Little Shunko leaves. I looked at the furnishings in this room. Everything remains the same. Desk. Dressing table......

I pulled open the drawer of the dresser. The bottles of ointment given by Kangxi. It's all still in place. The house was spotlessly clean.

Xiao Shunzi came back with tea. He said to me, "The emperor asked people to clean up every day. Even if you're not there. Every Chinese New Year. There must be a brazier lit in this house. The palace lamp also has to be replaced every year."

Kangxiye ......

Finally. He's still thinking about me......

That's it......

The world is impermanent. He's in the world. There's not much time left. Just forgive him......

That. I didn't go back to the temple of Taihe. The cloak is broken. I don't have the heart to go back and see those people being hypocritical. Wait until the feast is over. I asked Kangxi Ye for peace. took the old lady out of the palace......

Fifty-eight years of Kangxi. That's it......

this year. As I thought. It's not quite the same.

All. It happened in the summer of that year......
