Chapter 1 Rushing to the appointment, like a dream
Fifty-four years of Kangxi. It passed in this cold atmosphere. I have little comfort left in my life. In addition to the Queen Mother's love as always. All that's left is the warmth of occasionally going to meet Brother Thirteen from the secret passage. and the letters of the fourth master received every day.
Kangxi's fifty-fifth year's 'spring' day is coming. The maple trees in the courtyard 'pulled' new branches. It's starting to take on a kind of life. I came back with a strip of lead and sketch paper. Occasionally sit in the courtyard and draw sketches. It hasn't been touched for years. One day the ninth master came to sit for a while. I didn't even expect to catch a glimpse of it and praised me a few words. I'm embarrassed.
On the night of March 17. I'm asleep. Suddenly, he was woken up by Butterfly Seventeen.
"What's wrong?"
Butterfly Seventeen's face was solemn: "Master. The idiot master is dying."
I sat up and said, "What's going on?"
"He sent a message. It is said that the master himself said it. It was about two months before and after. Let's hurry up and get there."
I suddenly came to my senses. He let out a sigh: "I will immediately enter the palace to ask for a decree. We set off overnight."
I hurriedly changed my clothes. I rode through the snow and ran to the palace. At this time, the palace 'door' has been locked. I showed the gold medal. The 'guards' at the gate of the palace hurriedly put me into the palace. In the middle of the night. The sound of my horse's hooves was the only sound in the silence of the palace.
I stopped the horse. It just so happens that today is the vigil of the little junzi. I hurriedly asked him to go in and reply: "Little Shunzi. 100,000 urgent. Go and wake up the Emperor. Let's just say I seem to want to see you."
Xiao Shunzi looked very anxious when she saw my cloak. I hurried back and came out and called me: "Princess. The emperor let you in."
I walked in. Kangxi said: "Let's go down. Little Straight. No one is allowed to come near. Got it."
"The minions obey."
Wait until it's really gone. I raised my head and looked at Kangxi: "Your Majesty. The Idiot Master Message. Let me hurry up and rush to Wutai Mountain overnight. Say yes...... The master may be dying......"
"What did you say?"
"The Dark Guard just got the news. The master himself said that he had been doing it for the past two months. Let me go for a trip. So Jiya had to ask to see him late at night. I have asked the emperor for a decree."
Kangxi Ye has a deep affection for the emperor. For him. To accept the news that the first emperor is about to be ancient. It's hard. He seemed to age by a decade in an instant. His face was full of bitterness: "Okay...... Go ahead...... What to use. Holding the gold medal. Let Xiao Shunzi do it...... Xiao Shunzi can't do it. Let Wei Zhu do the ......"
"Your Majesty." I got up to leave. Kangxi Ye stopped me: "If it's true...... Tell him. I think he ......."
Kangxi Ye at this moment. No longer an emperor. Not even an old man anymore. And just a pitiful one. The poor child who is about to lose his father again......
Back to Fuchu. Everything is ready. I only brought Lan Yue. I brought two sets of clothes and hurried on my way.
I work day and night. Hurry up. Five days later. Arrived at Wutai Mountain.
Leave Lan Yue. I went straight to the meditation room of the master of the idiot. I was stunned. He looks 'spirited'. Not at all like ......
"Master ......"
He looked up at me with a smile: "Oops. Donor, you're here. Tired. Sit down. The poor monk prepared a good tea in advance to relieve his fatigue."
I sat down. Panting: "Master. Aren't you scaring me?"
The master poured a cup of tea and handed it to me: "Who scared you. The poor monk is really dying."
"You look very good."
The master smiled and shook his head: "Donor. The fate of the poor monk. The poor monk knows it in his own heart. The poor monk just doesn't worry about you. So hurry up and let you come for a trip. So that you can get your things done. The poor monk can rest assured."
I sighed, "Master. What are you talking about?"
"The poor monk has finally found the ability to be able to pass away after the poor monk has passed away. A way to keep your soul safe after that. Go and rest today. We'll start doing it tomorrow. When the time comes. You'll find out."
I nodded. Drink the tea in the cup. Withdrew.
In the end, these days are very tiring. After I bathed, I smeared 'medicine' on the abrasions between my legs, lay down and fell asleep.
Temple in the mountains. Morning bell and dusk drum. When the bell rings in the early morning. And I woke up. After the change. Hit the mountain spring to wash your face. He also used a plain sandalwood hairpin to pull up his long hair. I walked alone to the master's meditation room.
The idiot master is preparing a breakfast for two: "Donor. Come and have breakfast."
I walked over and sat down. Saluted: "Master morning."
"Early. Eat more. I'm going to do things in a moment. There's a time when you're tired." The master smiled and persuaded.
I will eat steamed buns and drink porridge with peace of mind.
Eat enough. I followed behind the master. Walk through his room into the secret passage. Then he entered the secret room.
The quack is even there. It's still the appearance of 'flowers'. smiled at me, "Little beauty."
I frowned: "You haven't forgotten to be so angry in the pure land of the Buddha's 'Gate'?"
The quack doctor smiled, "The master doesn't mind. What do you mind?"
I think the master does have a smile on his face. I put my mind at ease and played a few jokes with the quacks.
The master doesn't know what to arrange. It looks like some kind of formation. The quack patted me on the shoulder. Hand me a bowl of 'medicine': "Whew. Drink this. Otherwise, you won't be able to stand the hard work that follows."
I wonder what the hell this is for. But I'm sure they won't hurt me. I settled down and drank the 'medicine', and my head began to feel a little groggy. I put my arm on the quack's shoulder: "I. . . It's a little dizzy."
"That's right. You'll be given some soothing 'medicine' and you'll sleep for a while. Shrewd. Wait for you to wake up. It's all right."
When my mind was gradually confused by the medicine. My only thought is. Be sure to find a chance to fight a quack doctor.
Although the soothing 'medicine' made me fall into a coma-like sleep. But it couldn't stop me from dreaming. And such dreams. But how I don't want to wake up. How I want to indulge in sweet happiness forever..
"'Jade' Ice.' Jade 'Ice." I opened my eyes. The fourth master is looking at me with a smile. And I leaned into his arms. He gently 'kissed' my forehead: "It's time to get out of bed. I have to go into the palace today to greet the emperor."
I 'rubbed' and 'rubbed' my eyes: "Fourth brother......"
"Why do you still call me fourth brother. Shouldn't you call me husband?"
"Husband." Here's what's going on.
The fourth master smiled dotingly and nodded my nose: "We got married. Fool."
Get married. How can it be. How could Kangxi allow us to get married. That's impossible. It's absolutely impossible. But how could the fourth master lie to me?
"Good. It's up." The fourth master pulled me up to the 'bed' and helped me wipe my face with his own hands. Help me change my clothes. Then press me in front of the mirror. Help me draw my eyebrows: "My 'jade' is so beautiful. It looks good without makeup."
I blushed with shame. He took the opportunity to steal a piece of incense on my 'lips': "I'll help you comb your hair."
The fourth master stood behind me. Comb my hair and twist it. I looked at his figure in the bronze mirror. felt particularly unreal: "How can the fourth brother comb his hair."
"To comb your hair." Jade'er. Except for you. What could be a reason for me to do this?"
My fourth master. The gentle side. It's all just for me. I watched him pull my hair up. Secure the shelves. Then wrap it into a beautiful bun. The underneath is combed into a beautiful swallowtail. He put a hairpin on my hairpin with his own hands. Then he looked at me: "'Jade'. You're my ......."
I smiled sweetly. Oh, yes. I'm his. I finally married him. became his wife......
The fourth master chose a light blue 'color' palace costume for me to wear. I wore the ink blue that went deep into the dark night. The two of us stand together. A pair of beautiful people.
"Let's go. Let's go to the palace and say goodbye."
In the Qianqing Palace. Kangxi Ye saw us. He smiled very kindly: "Get up, get up, get up. Come on, come on. Let me see." He looked at me, "Hmm. It looks like he's not being bullied." Then he said to the fourth master: "Fourth." Jade 'Bing is my favorite child. You can't bully her. With the 'jade' ice. In the future, you are not allowed to marry anyone else."
The fourth master nodded and smiled: "Yes. Huang Ama. It is enough for the sons to have a 'jade' ice and a concubine Fujin. No one else needs it anymore. And. The retainers would never bully her. She is the only person who is beloved by her son."
Kangxi Ye smiled with satisfaction: "Okay, good. You young people live a good life. I'm an old man."
I laughed along. But it is strange in my heart. The only one and only Fu Jin. And what about Nara. Geng Shi. What about Niu Hulu's family? What about Lee. If they're gone. And what about the kids. What about Huai Ke. What about Hiroshi. What about Hongli.
My heart is in a mess. Probably not quite right on the face either. Kangxi Ye asked: "'Jade' ice. What's wrong. All of a sudden, my face was not 'pale'."
I opened my mouth. But he didn't know where to speak. Biting my lip, I said, "Huang Amma. I don't seem to remember a lot of things......"
The fourth master put his arms around me in the golden tent: "What's wrong. Suddenly I don't remember anything again."
I muttered, "I don't remember. When did we get married? I don't understand either. Where are the other wives and concubines in your house? Why did I become the only one and only a concubine...... I ...... "What the hell is going on with all this?" Why is this the way it is now. It's all something I've ever dreamed of. But why do you feel uneasy now? What the hell is wrong with me......
I panicked. Scared......
The fourth master hugged me. Patted me on the shoulder: "It's okay, it's okay. Don't be afraid. You've been stunned for a while since that time. Occasionally, this happens. Don't be afraid. I'll tell you slowly. Nala died three years ago. Other concubines. Those who had no children went home. with children. They all let me move to the manor. We got married two years ago. The marriage of the Emperor Amma. You are my only blessing. My Yan Fujin. And you're in the stomach. Now we have our children too. It's been two months."
I was stunned. I 'touched' my lower abdomen. There's a little life here.
The fourth master was stunned when he saw me. Soothing: "'Jade' ice. It doesn't matter. You slowly accept it all. Take your time. Don't be in a hurry......"
