Seeing that he was still silent, the fourteenth elder brother continued: "Anyway, I don't care, I am your own brother, a brother who is closer than the thirteenth brother, and the fourth brother wants to protect me." ”

The fourth master frowned, glanced at him sideways, met the other party's smile but hidden serious eyes, was silent for a moment, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, but didn't say anything.

It's all in plain sight.

Back in the house, the fourth master sat in the study for a while, then went to the backyard and went straight to Nichuhe.

Nichuhe greeted him like a blooming rose, and bent his knees with a smile, "Say hello to the prince." ”

With such a bright smile, he was in a happy mood every time he came, and he stretched out his hand to help her up, took her hand and sat on the soft couch in the second room, and let her sit down next to him.

The maid in the house retreated in amusement.

Seeing that his face was wrong, Ni Chuhe raised his head and asked, "What's wrong with the fourth master?" ”

The fourth master didn't answer, "Ni Chuhe, pinch your shoulder." ”

Nichuhe groaned, and reached out to knead his shoulder.

The fourth master closed his eyes, felt the soft and moderate strength on his shoulders, smelled the faint fragrance close at hand, the folds between his eyebrows gradually loosened, and his body relaxed.

After a while, the fourth master called "Ni Chuhe".

"Huh?" Nichu answered, looking at the man in front of him.

A big hand grasped her, his fingers gently rubbed the back of her hand, the fourth master did not look back at her, his voice was slightly low, "How did you feel when you were given marriage to the master?" ”

Yes?

Ni Chuhe was stunned and asked, "Why did you suddenly ask this?" ”

"I want to hear your thoughts, were you willing to enter the mansion in the first place?"

Well, you can't say that even if you don't want to.

What's more, she is not unwilling, after all, she is the future emperor.

But at this time, if you say willingly, you may not be convincing, right? There is a suspicion of flattery.

Ni Chuhe pondered for a while, and whispered, "A little scared, a little dazed." ”

The fourth master tilted his head sideways, but was silent.

Ni Chuhe stopped kneading his shoulders and neck, leaned on his back, put his arms around him, and continued: "At that time, the concubine had not been in Beijing for a long time, and she didn't know much about the fourth master, so she was a little surprised and a little scared when she was given a marriage.

I was surprised to escape the big cage in the palace, and I was afraid that I didn't know what the fourth master's temperament was, whether he would like the concubine, whether he would be good to the concubine, and he was full of uncertainty about the future. ”

Surprise is surprise, surprise and joy, dazed also, fear is fake.

The fourth master's heart moved.

She sees the palace as a cage?

So she didn't want to enter the palace at the beginning?

"You don't like to go into the palace?" The fourth master asked calmly, not knowing whether to breathe a sigh of relief or doubt the truth of this statement.

Ni Chuhe was silent for a moment, nodded, his face was not red and his heart was not beating, "Naturally I don't like it." ”

"Why? You don't like Huang Ama? The voice was still calm, but the eyes suddenly deepened, as if there was an undercurrent.

Ni Chuhe looked very calm, "What do you think, there are so many people who have been selected into the palace, but the concubines don't know anything about the emperor, and they don't know where they are when they come out, it's not enough to be scared, how can they be happy?" ”

The fourth master was silent, this is true.

If you enter the palace, it is very likely that you will not see the emperor for the rest of your life, and you may also fall out of favor soon after you are favored.

But she is different, she seems to be very favored by Huang Ama in her dream.

"Therefore, the concubine body is also relieved to learn that she was given marriage, although the concubine body does not understand the fourth master, but it is better than entering the palace. The fourth master noticed that the number of women was limited, and the concubine would be better. ”

Although this is flattering, it is a fact, the fourth master is indeed better than Kangxi, there are fewer women, and it is easier to compete for favor.

After all, in Kangxi's harem, in addition to Xiao Tong Jia's concubine, there are four concubines on top, except for Xiao Tong Jia's concubine, the others have given birth to princes, even if she is favored, it is difficult to get ahead.

And she ascended the throne of the fourth master and went to the mansion, with the affection of the hidden mansion, whether she has children or not, her position in the future will not be low.

That's a good thing to hear.

There are no other women who blindly flatter him in order to please him, and what he said is very reasonable.

The fourth master held her hand tightly, dragged her into his arms, and touched her ear temples with his lips, "No matter what happens to Ye in the future, Ye will not make you feel bad, and he will always make you happy." ”

Thinking of her snub to her on the first day she entered the mansion, she entered the mansion with nervousness and expectation, but in the face of such treatment, maybe she was lost in her heart.

At that time, because of the mustard in her heart, she didn't treat her well after all, which made her feel wronged.

"Why does the fourth master ask these strange questions?" Nichuhe looked at him with curiosity.

Of course, she could hear the guilt in the fourth master's words, well, no matter what the reason was, it was always a good thing.

The fourth master didn't answer, and today's words of the fourteenth brother touched him a lot.

The eldest brother was imprisoned, the prince's status was unstable, and the other princes all had their own thoughts and stared at that position, and he was no exception.

Besides, he still has those memories.

He will not wait for the things in his memory to happen one by one, he must always prepare in advance and be more cautious, which is his ambition as a prince.

Sooner or later, the crown prince will be deposed again, no matter what, he has a great chance, because he is also a concubine, and Huang Ama cares a lot about the difference between concubines and concubines, which is his advantage.

At that time, he will give this woman the honorable status he can give, so that she will not be worried all the time.

……

When spring passed, the weather became hotter, and the ladies of the house took a carriage to the garden again.

Back at their long-lost quarters, the minions packed up their cages, and Nichuhe sat at the table, feeling relaxed for a while.

It's still good here, although the house is also big, it's not as picturesque as the garden.

Not long after she sat down, someone came from the Fujin Courtyard and invited her over.

Ni Chuhe changed his clothes, came to Fujin's house, and bowed on his knees, "Concubine to Fujin to say goodbye." ”

"Sit down." Fu Jin motioned for her to sit down on the side, and the next person served refreshments.

Fu Jin smiled and looked at Ni Chuhe, who was still bright, "I haven't talked to my sister alone for a long time, I'm idle and bored, please invite my sister to come and sit down, you didn't disturb your sister's rest, right?" ”

She and Fujin have a wife and a concubine, and they usually see each other when they ask for peace, and they really don't get along alone at other times.

Nichuhe always maintained respect for Fujin, but he never got close, let alone spoke alone.

Fujin is not a person who is willing to talk about feelings with the concubines in the house.

Today, Fujin called her over, afraid that there was another reason, Ni Chuhe smiled slightly, "It's rare that Fujin is free, but the concubine is disrespectful." ”

Fu Jinping stepped back, took a sip of tea silently, and put down the teacup, "My sister is a refreshing person, so I won't hide it, and I called my sister over today, I really have something to discuss."

This matter shouldn't bother my sister, but I have some difficulties, and I really have no choice, so I have to ask my sister to come over and talk about it. ”

Nichuga was surprised.

What did you want Fu Jin to come to her? The word "consultation" was also spoken.
