Chapter 19: Father and daughter meet, swords and swords
"Jiya. What's wrong with you." Sister-in-law Kikige hurriedly came over and took my hand. The warmth of her palms and the strength of her grip on mine soothed my nerves. I smiled and said, "Nothing. Just distracted."
The Seventeenth Master looked at me with a look of doubt and confusion, and I smiled at him. There is no explanation. I followed my sister-in-law to cook.
"Jiya. What's going on?" Sister-in-law Kikige asked me in a whisper.
I lowered my head and said in a voice that only the two of us could hear, "Sister-in-law. Just do as you said. I am your Jiya."
Sister-in-law Kikige didn't speak. Just took a deep look at me. This one look. That's a thousand words. For many years. Just remember. It all choked me up.
It's getting late. A rapid clatter of horses' hooves came from afar. I look back. I saw a figure I hadn't seen in a long time. looked at Kangxi Ye who was getting closer and closer. My heart suddenly hurts. He's a lot older. The frost and snow on my sideburns made me wonder if I had been gone for a long time, not just a year and a half. There was a slightly anxious look on his face. It makes me wonder if he's still worried about me like a father. Anxious for me. But those who have been in the past ......
The past where we calculated and guarded against each other. Let me put this idea aside. Ruthless.
The sixteenth elder brother followed Kangxi Ye. He looked at me. Smile at me. The smile was the same as when we first saw it forty-six years ago. It's the same when I call him "Brother Sixteen".
"Long live the Emperor Ama long live long live."
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."
The seventeenth elder brother bowed down first. We saluted. I heard him dismount. Helped up the seventeenth elder brother. Father and son walked up to me.
"Raise your head." Kangxi Ye said in 'Mongolian' language.
I looked up slowly. Pretend to be innocent.
He looked at my face. He trembled slightly.
"You're the one who saved me yesterday."
"Yes."
"Let's get up first."
Sister-in-law Kikige and I stood up with each other's arms. Brother Chaogetu stands by my side.
Kangxi Ye looked at me. The god said complicatedly: "Find a place. Let's talk."
I'll take a look at Brother Chaogetu. Look at Sister-in-law Kikige again. They nodded. Only then did I say to Kangxi in the 'Mongolian' language: "Your Majesty, please come and talk in the felt bag."
Kangxi Ye is in front. I'm in the back. When you turn around. I heard the sixteenth elder brother say to the seventeenth elder brother, "Isn't this the 'jade' ice?"
The seventeenth elder brother's voice was full of disappointment and helplessness. replied to the sixteenth elder brother: "'Jade' Sister Bing. It was buried by the fourth brother himself......"
Walk into the felt bag. Kangxi Ye said outside: "Stay away. No one is allowed to come near."
He sat down in a felt bag. I also sat down across from him. The two of us sat silently opposite each other. The air seems to be frozen. He looked at me with a serious face. I tilted my head slightly and looked at him with a smile. His imperial might has no effect on me. I know who he is. I know what he's going to do. I know too much. So...... I'm not afraid of him at all......
I don't know what Kangxi is thinking. When the contours of his face softened. I asked myself. Isn't he still thinking about me? He still cherishes me like the original father. When the look in his eyes is no longer sharp. I asked myself. Isn't he missing me too? He still misses me like the original father.
However. to the end. I still say to myself. It's all because the light in the felt bag is dim. It's just an illusion......
After a long time. His voice finally sounded in the felt bag.
"I didn't say I would let you sit. Are you just sitting down?" He said so though. But it was clearly not surprising at my rudeness.
I looked at him. The corners of his mouth hooked up a sarcastic smile: "Emperor Ama Wanfu Jin'an."
This sentence pleases. Let Kangxi Ye stare at me with his eyes wide open. Long. He sighed and said, "Sure enough, it's you. You're not dead......"
"yes. Didn't you disappoint Huang Amma?" I laughed innocently. Tilt your head to look at him. It's like the little 'girl' who used to be. Smiled and asked him if it was okay to drink black rice porridge at night.
Kangxi's face flashed with all kinds of emotions. What to say. Perhaps this is the so-called 'crossing' of feelings. He whispered, "I never wanted to kill you."
I shook my head. I couldn't help but want to laugh: "Huang Ama. Then I and the thirteenth brother on the way back to Beijing. The killers. Where did it come from?"
Kangxi Ye glared at me. I didn't speak for a long time. I just looked at him. Silent. Not a word. Laughing lightly. In the silent air of this felt bag. It is full of swords and swords in the eyes between me and Kangxi.
My clouds are light and breezy. Let Kangxi Ye sigh. Then he took out his emperor rack and asked me, "What do you want?"
I frowned. He pretended to be embarrassed and thought about it and said, "Oops. Huang Ama. I want so much. What can I do?"
"Speak up. I will do my best to satisfy you."
I nodded. Suddenly laughed again: "I suddenly don't want anything again. Hehe......"
Kangxi Ye slapped the small table. Angry and whispered, "What the hell do you want. I am the Emperor. I can't help you be so presumptuous."
I put my hands on my cheeks. Looking up at him: "Then you can kill me. Huang Ama. How about killing me. Let me die again."
"'Jade' ice. What the hell do you want?"
I think Kangxi is almost in a hurry. Smiled at him: "Huang Ama. Don't be so agitated. Anger hurts the body." Look at the murderous aura in his eyes. I smiled wider: "My request is simple. Please read this letter." I took a letter out of my bosom and handed it to him. Kangxi Ye didn't take it. I didn't withdraw my arm. Just keep holding it like this. He stared at me for a moment. I took the envelope from my hand. Open it and see the handwriting on it. The expression on his face kept changing. It really makes me feel a little too good.
Probably read the letter. He stared at me. In his eyes, he wanted to stretch out his hands and strangle me: "You're all ready. All right. I've calculated it."
I 'pump' 'pump' my nose. He stuck out his tongue and said, "Oops. Isn't that unprepared for fear of dying miserably? After all. You didn't let me go so easily, no. There is no amulet. Do you think I dare to come to you?" That's it. I added, "Of course. You are the Emperor. You can do what you want. It's okay if you don't follow the letter. Didn't you still give me 'medicine' behind his back?"
"Are you sure. You come back. Will you be safe and sound?"
"I'm not sure." How could I be safe and sound. I scoffed, "Safe and sound. Is it anything to do with the palace? Huang Ama. Are you joking?"
Kangxi Ye squinted at me and said, "You think clearly. If you give up. I can allow you to live in peace on this grassland. And if you must come back......"
I patted my heart: "Oops. I'm so scared. Huang Ama, you actually threaten me. It's a pity. I don't believe you'll let me live in peace on this prairie. So I'd better go back to the palace with you."
