The second, fourth, and third rounds
After the banquet, Yu Zhen was finally able to talk to Ying Zhen alone, and the two found a secluded place, there were only flowers and trees around the Octagonal Pavilion, to ensure that when there was no one, Ying Zhen dared to cry out, and released the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time in front of his sister,
"Sister, why did God make such a joke with me, if I was destined to enter the palace, I shouldn't have met Qingyan, if I didn't pay my heart, I wouldn't be in pain, I had a longing, I had a fate, and now I am forced to separate, why bother?"
Ying Zhen cried, and let Yu Zhen recall her former self, when she learned of Fu Qian's death, she was also so complaining, I don't understand why the two people who have no result want to meet, but after grief, she will ask herself,
"But if you are given another chance, will you regret knowing him?"
The answer in Yu Zhen's heart is not to regret, the person who appears in his life always has a reason for his appearance, although it is painful, but it is also the most precious, and he is reluctant to miss it.
When she heard her sister's question, she became more and more sour, "I don't regret it, but I want to be together even more!"
"But I can't, you can't, and the days will continue to live, we are all burdened with the entire family, if we don't comply, the emperor will take the entire Nala Mansion to blame!"
"Sister, why is our life so hard?" The small body, dressed in loose palace clothes, from now on, Yingzhen's thin shoulders will begin to learn to carry and live for the family. Fear and lament churned the turbulent heart lake of the dark tide, and she lay on her sister's shoulder, crying unscrupulously for the last time.
The two words "don't cry", endure and endure, she didn't say it in the end, the suppressed emotions must be vented, she can feel better, Yuzhen no longer said superfluous words, let her hold herself, crying about the unwillingness in her heart.
However, this rare tranquility was disturbed by others, "Hey, isn't this the new Shu Guiren? Such a glorious thing, others should laugh from ear to ear? Why is Shu Guiren so sad and crying?"
When the two sisters heard the sound, they got up and looked back, and saw Concubine Jia and Concubine Yu standing not far away, their eyes defiant.
Ying Zhen hurriedly wiped her tears with a handkerchief, Yu Zhen pulled her sister down the steps, blessed them with a salute, and calmly responded: "Shu Guiren is young, only to enter the palace, it is inevitable that he will not adapt, and today when he sees his relatives, he will lose control of his emotions, which makes the two mothers smile." ”
The beautiful people stand, each has its own merits, even the flowers and branches in the garden are eclipsed, Concubine Jin Jia's family is not used to seeing Yu Zhen because of Xuanyue's incident, and she is too lazy to pay attention to it, Yu Concubine is in the same situation as her, and naturally she does not want to see her, and wants to embarrass Yu Zhen,
"We're asking about Shu Guiren, is she dumb and won't answer?
Concubine Su Jiashi and the queen are quite close, and they will also help Yu Zhen, and answer casually, "Your name is Zhen, sister, don't be afraid, just enter the palace, it's normal for people not to get used to it, after a long time in the future, get along with the sisters a lot, and have the love of the emperor and the queen, then the palace is your home!"
Slightly sideways, Yu Zhen looked at Ying Zhen, made a look, Ying Zhen understood, and respectfully bowed to the pure concubine, "Thank you Niangniang for your teachings, the concubine should keep in mind." ”
"Well," Concubine Chun nodded and said softly: "After entering the palace, there will be fewer opportunities to meet your family, and it is rare for you sisters to get together, and it is good to talk." ”
Su Jia's family is the mother of the third elder brother Yongzhang, who was named a concubine as early as the second year of Qianlong, and has more capital to speak than Concubine Jia and others.
Even if it was Xiao En, Yu Zhen also remembered it in his heart, and sent Concubine Chun and the others away.
On the way back, a hundred flowers are blooming, competing for beauty, the two have no intention of appreciating, Yuzhen always feels that there are many things to explain to her,
"You are kind, you don't need me to remind you, and you probably won't have disputes with others, the only thing I'm worried about is that I'm afraid that you will be bullied. Not humble or arrogant, easier said than done, in short, don't provoke others, but if anyone dares to mess with you, it is absolutely impossible, remember, if you suffer, you will inevitably want to leave evidence,
If you can solve it, or the emperor helps you solve it, then that's it, if no one helps you, let the palace maid you trust go out of the palace and send a message to me, my sister is just a sibling sister like you, if you can help, you will help!"
"Well," nodded heavily, Ying Zhen was full of gratitude, "I have written down the words of the second sister, and my sister doesn't ask for anything else, just to be able to live a peaceful life." ”
The situation has been decided, she can only give up, compromise with fate, and dare not have other thoughts. However, the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, she longs for calm, but Qianlong was deeply impressed by her, and came to Lijingxuan that night.
He was improvised, did not send someone to inform in advance, Ying Zhen did not know that the emperor would come here, without any preparations, just about to have dinner, she hurriedly got up to meet her,
"No need to be polite. Qianlong leaned over slightly, personally helped her, looked at the dishes on the table, and said loudly: "It seems that I came at the right time, let's have dinner together!"
"Yes, but ......" Ying Zhen was a little embarrassed, "The concubine didn't know that the emperor was coming, and she only prepared four dishes, for fear that it would not suit the emperor's taste." Why don't you have some more to prepare?"
"No, I'm a little hungry too, so I'll leave it at that! What about a few of the dozens of dishes? I haven't really used a few. How can you eat so much with such a big stomach?"
Qianlong didn't put up a fight with her, he didn't know why he had anything to say, he always felt very close to her, probably because she was Yuzhen's sister, he didn't feel estranged.
Since entering the palace, except for the emperor giving flowers, he has not spoken to the emperor, and he is subconsciously afraid.
"Sit down, don't see me. ”
"Yes. After sitting down nervously, Ying Zhen served vegetables for the emperor according to etiquette, Qianlong pressed her wrist and told her not to be busy, "I chose you to enter the palace to be the master, you don't have to do some palace maid work, sit down!"
He said that he was what he was, but he didn't dare to refute it, but nodded yes. During this period, she rarely picked up vegetables, and Qianlong saw that she was so restrained, so he personally sandwiched fried beef and vinegared yam for her.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. ”
It was a meal, but he always couldn't help but want to look at her more, she was so similar to her, but very different, one was too rigid and the other was too soft.
Ying, who had been looking at by the emperor, was a little uncomfortable, couldn't help but stroke her cheeks, and asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty...... What are you looking at? Do you have dirty things on your face?"
"No," Lang Sheng smiled, Qianlong continued to pick up vegetables for her, Ying Zhen was very embarrassed, "It's good for the concubine to clip herself, don't dare to bother the emperor." ”
"I don't give you food, you don't use chopsticks, you are polite at the dinner table, but you are hungry. ”
Ying Zhen always thought that the emperor was majestic and inviolable, but when I saw him today, I realized that he was so approachable, probably because of her brother-in-law's relationship, the emperor took special care of her?
But even so, she still can't forget Qingyan in her heart, she can think of him when she eats yams, and she can't help but feel sad, Qianlong saw it in his eyes and asked her why she was sad, but she really reacted quickly, only said that when she was at home, she loved to eat the yam burned by her mother, and when she tasted this dish today, she thought of her mother.
This reason was logical, Qianlong believed it and did not pursue it further.
After dinner, seeing that the emperor didn't seem to have any intention of leaving, and entered the inner hall, Ying Zhen had to follow, but he was worried in his heart, and said to the emperor with a red face, "The emperor forgive me, the concubine is ...... Come...... It's inconvenient to serve the emperor when the moon comes, so ......"
Qianlong Yingying, who had just sat down, frowned slightly, "This is the eviction order?"
"No, the concubine doesn't dare," Ying Zhen heard that the voice was wrong, and she was busy and blessed, "I'm just scared and swept the emperor's Yaxing, so I thought of telling you." ”
"It's okay," Qianlong sat down in front of the collapse indifferently, and picked up the book on the small table casually, "I'll rest here tonight, don't worry, I won't touch you." ”
When it came to this, Ying Zhen couldn't refuse, so he had to follow his wishes.
After he read the book for a while, drank two teas, and said that he was tired, Ying Zhen followed the tone of his grandmother and learned to put on a wide robe for the emperor, after all, it was the first time, and she was inevitably nervous.
The low-hanging gaze, the sound of breathlessness, the appearance of caution and the slight trembling of his fingers all fell in Qianlong's eyes, and he was panicked for a moment, as if he had seen the old man, and couldn't help but hold her hand, which frightened the timid person.
Ying Zhen subconsciously broke free, and then felt that the reaction was too much, for fear that the emperor would be angry, so he hurriedly apologized, and cowardly pleaded guilty, "The concubine is reckless, please forgive the emperor!"
After all, it's not her, how can she be so well-behaved?
After saying a word, Qianlong looked at the moonlight through the window, sighed, didn't say anything, and entered the account.
The two people lying together, each with their own thoughts, recalling their own past, Qianlong did what he said, did not touch her, but felt that lying beside her, there was a sense of closeness, that's all, nothing else.
The next day, the palace exploded again, some people were envious, some people were jealous, it stands to reason that the newly selected show girls should be ordered by the emperor to summon her to go to bed, and Ying Zhencai came, and he actually let the emperor go to see her in person.
What's even more strange is that some good people probed the files of the Jingshifang, saying that it was last night that Shu Guiren came to the menstrual affair and couldn't serve the emperor, and the emperor actually stayed in Lijingxuan, which is incredible!
"How can this woman be virtuous?
These private discussions, as soon as they spread to the queen, soon reached the queen's ears, others didn't know the inside story, but she was clear, and naturally understood why the emperor would treat Ying Zhen differently. It is understandable that she will not interfere, and it is expected that the emperor should be measured.
Rumors spread in the palace, and Ying Zhen became the most eye-catching newcomer, and outside the palace, there was no peace.
Qingyan went on a hunger strike for three days, fainted in the room, Zhao'an asked the doctor to rescue, which woke up the youngest son, Fu Heng heard the news, came over to persuade him, and told him that Ying Zhen had been named a Shu nobleman, and he used both soft and hard, scolded and persuaded, and reluctantly let him accept this fact.
Before he could get out of this blow, Qingyan received another news that he Ama actually wanted him to marry and let him marry the third sister of Yingzhen, Qi Zhen!
