After careful calculation, it has been half a month since I saw Lord Qianlong at the last birthday banquet, and it is not the first time I have seen each other, but I am still frightened. Although there was a person kneeling on the ground, there was not a person who could even breathe. When Lord Qianlong sat down, the chief eunuch Li Yu shouted: "Get up." Then everyone got up and stood. Qianlong Ye smiled and looked at the people below and said, "Sit down!" Today is a pure family feast, all casual! ”

Everyone responded: "Obey!" "Take your seats. Although Qianlong is casual in his words, I think everyone is still cautious, and they don't dare to slack off at all when they should be polite.

After three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere at the banquet can be regarded as truly lively. Yongxuan and the eighth elder brother and the eleventh elder brother amused each other, while Yongyan raised a glass with Liu Yong, Ji Yun, Sun Shiyi and other military ministers, chatting and laughing and drinking. At this time, I saw Ama walking over, first greeted Yongyan and the adults, and then took out a snuffbox made of crystal clear jade and smiled contemptuously: "Lord Sun, I recently found a snuffbox, and I have to trouble you to help me get through it." ”

Sun Shiyi was stunned, this snuffbox was given to Qianlong by him earlier. He knew that He Shen was famous for holding grudges with stinginess, and this move was to show him, or to tell him that he could get whatever he wanted, even if it was the emperor, and the emperor favored him beyond their imagination, and he could take whatever he wanted in the palace at will.

Yongyan, who saw everything in his eyes, said: "The things in the middle hall must be priceless treasures, why do you need others to look at them." Yongyan looked at me and smiled, and asked, "Yes!" Lord Sun! Amma also looked at me in Yongyan's direction, and I hiccuped uncontrollably, still frightened. What's going on with him? He actually smiled at me, making sure that he hadn't taken the wrong medicine, and I looked disgusted.

Sun Shiyi nodded yes again and again.

Concubine Ying knew that I missed my family, so she arranged for me to sit with Ama Eniang, as well as my brother and sister-in-law, watching everyone eat and drink, stop drinking, smile and see, I thought that I was lucky to have a grand event, how could I enjoy it to the fullest! Unexpectedly, during the banquet, the wives of various ministers came over one after another to talk and drink with me, which overwhelmed me. It's very upset. My heart is like a mirror, and everyone who comes is looking at Amma's face. Even if millions of people don't want to, they have to force themselves to squeeze out a reluctant smile to deal with everyone who wants to please.

Finally sent away a wave of visitors, only to be greeted by Hitara's frowning brows and glaring gaze. Presumably, her hatred for me is still stuck in the matter of me and Yongyan not returning all night, and I have no power to explain it, and I have no intention of regenerating the incident, so that Yongyan can find a reason to dislike me even more. So I could only pin my head to avoid her sword-sharp gaze.

I quietly left the scene of the banquet while everyone was drunk and I was sober. The breeze at night hits people, it is almost winter, and it brings some coolness, but it can blow people awake. However, even if the brain is awake, the heart is still drunk. In the dark night, with the bright moonlight released by the bright moon, I walked in the winding and graceful path.

I saw a man sitting in the gazebo in the distance, drinking alone. The footsteps involuntarily walked straight over. When the man heard the footsteps, he turned to look at me, "Who is coming?" ”

It's him! It turned out to be Fukangan! How did he end up here? Looking at my slightly stunned eyes, he put down the wine glass in his hand, bowed down and asked, "Fukangan has seen Lan Yungege!" ”

"Lord Fu is exempt, this is the third time Lan Yun has seen an adult, but I don't know what kind of mentality to talk to an adult." As I spoke, I walked over to the stone bench and sat down, and continued, "You don't have to be bound by red tape, please take a seat!" Fukangan sat down in response and replied: "Presumably Gege is still blaming the lower officials for what happened last time, but in fact, ·····"

Before Fukangan finished speaking, I intercepted: "My lord doesn't need to say more, as a courtier, many things are not what I want, Lan Yun fully understands, and he doesn't hold a grudge against the adult, not to mention that the adult didn't hurt Lan Yun." ”

Fukangan bowed again and said: "Gege doesn't care about that is Gege's generosity, Fukangan has already heard of Gege's Lan Xinhui, and the song sung by Gege at the birthday banquet must also be composed by Gege, and his talent is really admired by Fukangan." ”

I took a deep breath and said with a light smile, "My lord is really ridiculous······ A faint smile is actually trying to hide your weakness and uneasiness.

"Dare to ask why Gege is here, shouldn't it be at the banquet?" Fukangan asked.

I smiled silently, and then said, "What about you, my lord?" Why is it here instead of staying in the Imperial Garden? ”

Fukangan and I looked at each other and smiled, only to see him drink all the wine in the cup, "The knot is in the human realm, and there is no noise of cars and horses." Ask you how you can be, and your heart is far away. Picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, leisurely see the South Mountain. The mountain weather is good, and the birds are returning. There is a true meaning in this, and I have forgotten to distinguish it. ”

The knot is in the human realm, and there is no noise of cars and horses. It seems that this is also his heart, and not everyone who is an official likes officialdom! No wonder life is so incorruptible! In this way, there is another person who fights corruption, no wonder he can sympathize with Yongyan and share the same goals. It seems that Amma has become the target of public criticism.

"Since Master Fu doesn't like the style of officialdom and loves the idyllic life, why do you still stay here?" I asked, confused.

Fukangan poured the wine in the cup, drank it to himself, and drank it all. "There are still unfinished business and unfulfilled responsibilities in the DPRK, and it is not yet time to leave."

Hearing the word responsibility, I couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of my heart: "A sentence of responsibility stumbles you, but you can't get the life you yearn for, and this tie is a lifetime." If you knew your fate, if you knew that you would die in six years, would you continue to do your unfulfilled duty? ”

"Gege, Lan Yun Gege······" Summoned back by Fukangan's call, I retracted my sad thoughts.

Gege's expression seemed to be a little sad, and in the sadness there seemed to be some unspeakable secrets. Can you tell me about it? Fukangan said tentatively.

"Maybe it's because Lan Yun can't drink too much! The mind is a little unclear. There is no doping with the little others that the adults say. I raised my head slightly, looked at Fukangan and said.

"Maybe the lower officials are thinking too much! I always feel that Gege's thoughts and eyes seem to be sighing for the lower official. Fukangan replied with a smile.

"Lord Fu, you also think a little more, Lan Yun and the adults are only a few sides of each other, they don't know each other, my lord, your official fortune is also smooth sailing, honest and honest, and the emperor is deeply respected, how can you sigh and melancholy?" I replied calmly, but I took a breath in my heart, I didn't expect Fukangan's observation to be so penetrating. It's very different from what you know about him in books.

Fukangan and I smiled knowingly, and after a long time of not speaking, Fukangan poured himself the wine in the pot. In the distance, Shma's voice searching for me broke the silence.

Shma panted and ran up to me and stood still, "Gege, you can make it easy to find the slave!" Then he looked at Fukangan on the side and was a little stunned.

I glanced at Fukangan: "This is Fukangan, Master Fu!" ”

"Slave Shma has seen Lord Fu, Lord is auspicious!" Shmafu bowed.

Fukangan raised his hand, motioned for Shima to get up, and then stared at me again and said, "I've been out for a long time, and it's time to go back, so I'll retire first." With that, he bowed to me and turned away. When I turned around, a touch of white appeared at the cuffs of Fukangan, and suddenly the autumn breeze rose, and that white flew out from the cuffs of Fukangan and came to my feet. Perhaps because of the lightness, Fukangan did not notice it.

I looked down and saw that it was a white silk silk with unwashed blood stains on it. Before I could call him, I saw that he had turned and disappeared from my sight. Shma picked up the silk and handed it to me. I could clearly see the word "Lan" embroidered on the corner of the handkerchief through the bloodstains, and I couldn't help but be shocked! Recalling the scene of encountering a wild wolf in the deep mountains and forests that day, it turned out that the person who saved me that day and had a life-saving grace for me would be him!

"Gege, we should go back, if we leave the table for too long, I'm afraid Long Live Lord will be unhappy." Shima called softly, and I gathered my thoughts, put the silk on my cuff, and said lightly, "Let's go back!" ”

The people are full of martial arts and good wine, the dishes are not seen to eat much, the wine jar is much empty, the night is dark, Qianlong's interest is quite high, and the song and dance are transmitted, a rich and prosperous scene, how many fat powder gold hairpins are charming.

I secretly looked at Fukangan, who sat down and drank quietly, his face light and red. Yongyan smiled at the corner of his mouth, circling among the ministers who came to toast. It seems that he only has a cold face when facing me, which shows that he hates my heart. Fukangan occasionally said a few idle words, and then stood up to have a few drinks with him. Before sitting down, he suddenly met my gaze, filled his glass, smiled at me, raised his glass, and drank it all. I smiled at him from afar, poured a full glass of wine, and drank it all with my neck up.

If you don't get drunk, everyone is drunk, you don't know how much you drink, you just know that your heart is full of warmth. As soon as I turned my head, I vaguely saw Yongxuan, who was separated by two tables, as if looking at me frowning and pondering, and when I saw that I was also looking at him, he shook his head and put the empty wine glass in front of him upside down on the table. I knew he didn't want me to continue drinking, lest I get too drunk and feel bad. I then shook my head leisurely, picked up the wine glass and wanted to drink again, but the mother on the side snatched my wine glass and shouted: "Yun'er, don't drink anymore, a lady is full of wine, what does it look like!" ”

"Let's stop today! So as not to delay the business! Amma took a glass of wine and said lightly.

"Serious, what serious! Isn't it all about drinking? I asked, blinking.
