Chapter 3 Life is not the same, death is the same

Kangxi Ye and the Queen Mother were shocked. Kangxi Ye said: "Fourth. What do you say?"

"Yinzhen. You are ......" The Queen Mother didn't know what to say.

I was stunned. looked at the fourth master and kowtowed. Said slowly: "Back to the emperor's grandmother. Huang Ama. Since September of the 46th year, Erchen first saw the 'jade' ice on the grassland. I fell in love with her. After that, they got along for more than three years. But it's just getting deeper and deeper. The sons know. Huang Ama had promised to give the 'jade' ice to the eighteenth as a blessing. Keerchen is too deep.' If there is no "jade" ice to accompany the selfish heart. How boring this life should be. Old. Erchen was going to be. Ask for a favor from Emperor Ama during the New Year's Festival. Promise the 'jade' ice to the retainer as a side blessing."

The fourth master said this. Choked up and could barely speak. After a long moment he continued, "But. . . Before the sons and daughters asked the emperor for advice. And she was gone. Huang Ama. Imperial grandmother. The son did not have that blessing in this life. Follow the 'jade' ice white head to old age. Together for the rest of your life. Now I want to live and die with her. Please also ask the Emperor Ama and the Imperial Grandmother to fulfill it."

"No. It's so unconventional. I can't do it." Kangxi Ye shouted.

The fourth master kowtowed heavily and said, "Huang Ama. Sons and daughters in this life. Only the 'jade' ice is loved so much. Before meeting the 'jade' ice. The sons never knew. It turns out that falling in love with someone is how it feels. Huang Ama. I beg you."

Fourth Master. My fourth master. If possible. Let me help you up. You're knocking so hard. Let me help you 'knead' a 'knead' okay. Does it hurt. Does the heart hurt more.

The thirteenth brother also came over and knelt in front of Huang Ama and the imperial grandmother. Kowtowed heavily and said, "Huang Ama. Imperial grandmother. The sons and daughters begged the emperor Ama and the imperial grandmother to fulfill the fourth brother. The fourth brother has been in the past three years. The sons and daughters are all in their eyes. It was only after he had made up his mind that he would have the courage to ask you for a favor. Give him the 'jade' ice. But the 'jade' ice is gone. Huang Ama. Please forgive me."

The fourteenth brother also came over and knelt down and said, "Huang Ama. Imperial grandmother. Erchen first saw the 'jade' ice since the forty-seventh year. It's been three years now. In the past three years. The fourth brother's feelings for 'jade' ice. Although it is hidden deeply. Ke Erchen still looks at it a little bit. Also begged the Emperor Ama and the Imperial Grandmother. Cheng Quan's fourth brother is affectionate."

"You ......" Kangxi Ye was a little angry.

The ninth master, the tenth master, and the fifteenth, sixteenth, and seventeenth elder brothers also came over and knelt on the ground and said, "Please make it perfect."

The Twelfth Master walked over. Kneeling on the ground and saying leisurely, "Please make it perfect."

The Empress Dowager finally spoke: "Emperor. Mourning family look. Just follow Yinzhen. Originally, mourning the family at first. It's going to give the 'jade' ice to Yinzhen. Now the 'jade' ice is gone. The mourners have to find a suitable place for her to rest. Bury her with Yinzhen. Rest assured. Otherwise, where would the emperor bury the 'jade' of the mourning family? The Imperial Tomb can't do it. Is it possible to send it back to Korqin? It's too late to build a mausoleum for her. Emperor. The little 'jade' ice of the mourning family is bitter enough in this life. Is she all gone? Won't you let her be buried in the ground?"

The Queen Mother said. Tears kept flowing. Choked up and barely breathing. Kangxi Ye sighed and said, "I promised. Can't I say yes? Routinely. Let's go out in three days."

"Thank you, Emperor Amalon."

"Huang Eniang. Go back and rest." Kangxi said. Helped the Queen Mother away. Only the fourth, thirteenth and fourteenth masters were left.

The fourth master still guards my body without saying a word. And I. Look at him in mid-air......

In the afternoon. The coffin and all the belongings were delivered. Truly. It's all in accordance with the rules of Princess Gulun. Only the coffin. It was sent according to the regulations of Prince Fujin. Because there has been no Princess Gulun in the palace for a long time. Therefore, the Ministry of Internal Affairs does not have any items that Princess Gulun needs to regulate.

The princess's court dress was also delivered. The fourth master didn't want them to change it for me. The thirteenth and fourteenth masters persuaded him. He sat on the edge of the bed and looked at me lying on the bed. Said: "This morning. I'll see her. She wore the red phoenix and peony palace dress that year. She wears two hairpins I gave her on her head. Talk to me with a smile. I said it was rare to see her dressed so brightly, and she said it was just to set off the snow. also said that Lan Yue made fun of her. Said she was like a bride. YIN Xiang. Yinzhen. You say. If she wears a real wedding dress. Isn't it supposed to be more beautiful? It must be."

The fourth master said. Shed tears. I watched. The pain of suffocation in the heart. But I'm just a floating soul. I can't talk to him. Can't touch his body......

The next two days, three full nights. The fourth master never said a word or word to the thirteenth and fourteenth masters. He has been standing by my coffin. Muttered to my cold body. Don't eat or drink. The thirteenth and fourteenth masters were very worried. Persuade him. It was as if he hadn't heard a word. It's as if the heavens and the earth don't exist anymore. Only he and I were left.

Those murmurs. I regret my decision and the result so much. If I really die...... Where should I put the fourth master?

On the evening of the third day. They advised him to eat something. He finally nodded.

Didn't take a few bites. Suddenly, he said, "Where's the wine?" Jade' Ice recently likes bamboo leaf green. Why don't you have wine?"

The fourteenth master said on the side: "Fourth brother. Wine."

He nodded. A sad smile on the corner of his mouth said: "I'm going to send 'jade' ice away. You won't even give her a farewell drink. She's going to scold you for being stingy again. That time in my house. I told her to drink less. She frowned and pouted and said I was stingy. I can't even give her wine."

He even remembered. It wasn't long after I came back from Mount Wutai. What happened after Lan Qi died. He remembered that I had drunk and muttered to him......

The Thirteenth Master hurriedly asked people to get wine and four cups. The fourth master unsealed. Pour out a cup. Bring it to the coffin. Say to me, "'Jade' ice. I'll bring you bamboo leaves. Haven't you liked bamboo leaves the most lately? The three of us. Drink with you one more time. Is it good?"

He said. Spill the wine from the cup on the ground. Fu sat back down. After holding the jar and taking a big sip, he said, "'Jade' Bing used to drink like this. I said she wasn't like a 'girl' child."

Fourth Master. You just love me the way you are. Isn't it.

He handed the wine jar to the Thirteenth Master. The Thirteenth Master poured a big mouthful into his mouth. and handed it to the Fourteenth Master. That's it. The three of them. Drinking wine. Caught up in the memories of me. And I. Just listening......

The Thirteenth Master said, "When I first saw her. It's time to pick her up. She lies on the prairie. 'Unconscious'. Wearing an ill-fitting pink 'color' 'Meng' robe. Hair coiled. Like a 'lost' child who has fallen asleep. When I see her again. She followed Huang Amma. I asked her to thank me for saving her. She calls herself a slave. but his head was raised high. That's when I thought. How can there be such a 'girl' child?"

Thirteenth brother. Recognize me as a girl. For you. Is it a blessing or a curse?
