Seeing Sizhen, who bit his lips and bled blood, Fulin was a little gloomy and relieved.

More than two months ago, Kong Youde, the king of Dingnan in Guilin, Guangxi, was shot in the forehead by Li Dingguo, the remnant of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and arranged for his subordinates to take his son Kong Tingxun and daughter Kong Sizhen out of the city, and hid in the houses outside Guilin.

In the escape, Sizhen's brother Kong Tingxun was also captured by Li Dingguo's people, only Sizhen was escorted by the nurse and the guards, and traveled thousands of miles to the capital, but he kept shouting to see his father and mother, who told her that the king of Dingnan was dead, she would be sick, noisy and sad, and wake up and faint.

In two months, the imperial doctor in the palace saw a few, but the effect was not ideal, and finally a Zhang Taiyi came up with an idea, and found a few of the old people who were waiting in front of her, and the furnishings and furnishings in the house were also replaced with her appearance in the Dingnan Palace, Guilin, and did not mention the death of her father and mother in front of her, so she gradually got better.

It's just that Fulin saw that Sizhen blindly avoided and lived in a fantasy every day, and when he was angry, he shouted the truth.

Fortunately, Sizhen's crying dissipated most of the depression in his heart, although he fell asleep for a few days, he didn't escape the facts as before, and he was still willing to eat.

Therefore, seeing Sizhen's current appearance, Fulin breathed a sigh of relief.

He thought: Just like Huang Eniang said, Sizhen is the daughter of a hero, she didn't die in the rain of guns and swords, but she fell into this Forbidden City, and he really can't explain it to the subjects of the world, and it will also chill the hearts of the old generals of King Dingnan.

In order to inform the world of the court's reward for the loyal Hanchen, and also to show favor to the old department of the king of Dingnan, Emperor Shunzhi and the empress dowager discussed and issued such a decree, sealing Sizhen as Heshuo Gege, giving 10,000 taels of silver, and the old man was regarded as the county lord.

After listening to Fulin's words, Sizhen was stunned and at a loss.

For a while, she couldn't accept the fact that the Forbidden City had become her home.

After staying in the imperial city for so many days, Mama Qin knew that the emperor's mother in the emperor's mouth was the Empress Dowager Zhaosheng Cishou, the emperor's mother-in-law.

With the emperor's decree, Gege went from an orphan daughter whose parents died in a blink of an eye to a noble Heshuo Gege who was as noble as the prince's daughter, and was raised in the palace of the queen mother, what a glory!

For this reason, Mama Qin couldn't help but be sad and happy.

Sadly, Gege's glory was bought with her parents' lives! Happily, Gege's future will be taken care of by the most noble person in the world, and he no longer has to worry about being bullied!

This is a blessing in disguise.

Mama Qin hurriedly nudged Sizhen lightly, and said in a low voice: "Gege, thank the emperor quickly!" ”

Sizhen came back to his senses, knelt down respectfully, and kowtowed in thanks.

"Courtiers thank the emperor for his grace!"

Hearing Sizhen's still a little childish but clear and tactful voice, Fulin smiled slightly: "Get up, count it this way, I am your imperial brother, no need to be so polite." ”

Since she is the righteous daughter of the queen mother, and she has been rewarded, according to the rules, Sizhen is going to Cining Palace to thank the queen mother.

But Sizhen has been sick for so long, and he doesn't think about tea and dinner, and now he looks like this, not to mention Cining Palace, even if he walks out of the courtyard gate, he has no strength.

Mama Qin was thinking about whether to ask the emperor for a favor and postpone it for a few days, when Fu Lin opened her mouth to Sizhen first: "The empress dowager has pitied Sizhen for a long time and has just recovered, and specially asked me to tell you, saying that it is for you to delay a few days and then go over, she will ask for peace and take care of your body." ”

Having said that, Mama Qin didn't dare to persuade Sizhen to be so big, thinking about waiting for Sizhen to get better and go to Cining Palace as soon as possible to thank her.

Fortunately, Sizhen's disease is mainly a heart disease, and as soon as this heart knot is opened, he will have the strength to eat and drink well for two or three days.

Afraid that something would go wrong when she met the Queen Mother, that night, Mama Qin asked Bailing to tell Sizhen about the things in the palace.

When Sizhen was sick, the queen mother specially pointed out to take care of her, so as not to make the slaves and maids in front of her small, old, and unfamiliar with the rules of the palace, and it was inconvenient to be restrained.

There is the queen mother's sympathy for Kong Sizhen's age and the meaning of taking special care of her, Qin Mama knows the truth very well, although these days, she has also inquired about a lot of situations in the palace, but please Bai Ling said, first, it is to value the people around the queen mother, and second, there is also the meaning of treating Bai Ling as her own person and hating the same enemy.

Bai Ling is a steady person, and he did not become frivolous because of this, after dinner, she and Thrush served Sizhen to freshen up, and took the initiative to grab the foot washing water and take it to the outside room to hand it to the little palace maid.

The thrush had cleverly retreated, and Sizhen was the only one left in the back room.

Sizhen, who had already dissolved her hair, did not go to bed, she put on her embroidered shoes, stood in front of the window and looked out blankly, not knowing what she was thinking.

Bai Ling pretended not to know, and said with a smile: "What are you looking at? So attentive? ”

"Look at the flowers on that tree in the yard, it's so beautiful!"

The sky outside is still a little bright, the palace has been lit at this hour, the light in the wind lamp under the corridor can only shine far away, whether it is a person or a tree, the shadow is very long on the ground, but to say that you can see the flowers on the golden laurel tree near the courtyard gate, Bailing is a little unbelieving.

She followed Sizhen's gaze, and sure enough, she only saw the general shadow of the tree, and even the outline of the branches and leaves was a little blurred, not to mention the flower of Jin Gui that was like a pearl of rice.

Another one, the osmanthus tree, has always been more famous for its fragrance than flowers, and it is really impossible to say how beautiful the flowers are.

But Bailing didn't break it, and only followed Sizhen's words: "Gege is really good eyesight, but this twilight season is inevitably a little unclear, if Gege likes it, a slave will accompany you to take a good look in the courtyard, or, do you want to like the fragrance of osmanthus flowers, so that the little eunuchs will pick two branches back and insert them in the bottle?" ”

"No need, osmanthus smells good from afar, but if it's in the house, it's too fragrant."

Sizhen turned his gaze back and looked at Bai Ling and said: "Mama said that you are very familiar with the situation in this palace, so you can tell me about it, so as not to get the queen mother to ask for peace, I don't understand anything, and it will make people laugh!" ”

Seeing Sizhen's serious face, the smile on Bai Ling's face became a little more.

She helped Sizhen to the side of the bed and said softly: "It's cold in the autumn night, if Gege wants to listen, it's better to sit on the bed and wrap the quilt and listen to the slave and maid speak slowly. ”

Sizhen did as she said, went to bed, sat upright, her little face was tense, and she looked like she was listening.

Bai Ling surrounded Sizhen's body and said softly, "What does Gege want to know?" ”
