Chapter 12: Su Niang on the Prairie (1)
Qi Su Niang stood at the door of the upper study, listening to the chirping of the summer cicada outside the Qianqing Palace, while watching the eldest brother happily accept the holy decree of leading the three thousand soldiers with the blue flag to build the river embankment, walked out of the Qianqing Palace briskly, arched his hand to the expressionless prince, and walked away.
Summer goes to autumn, when the autumn wind rises, the river embankment will be completed, Kangxi patrols the fortress, will meet the Mongolian kings, in order to implement the second step of the water control policy advocated by Bo Chenyan, the lord of the Yongding River, and lead the water of the Mangqing River into the Yongding River to wash the silt, and order the Yongding River Lord Bo Chenyan to accompany the west tour.
"Su Niang, Su Niang." After Chen Yan finished answering in front of the emperor, he withdrew from the imperial tent, raised his head slightly, looked at Qi Su Niang, who was opening the curtain for him, and called twice very softly.
Xu was because the voice was too quiet, Qi Su Niang didn't listen to it at all, looked at the front door with her eyes, opened the tent curtain respectfully, and Chen Yan finally had no choice but to withdraw from the tent, and as soon as her hand was loosened, the thick dragon tent fell, blocking her figure.
Chen Yan sighed inexplicably, and was about to leave, when he turned around, he saw the fourth elder brother, the thirteenth elder brother, and the fourteenth elder brother coming over, and hurriedly said goodbye.
The thirteenth elder brother approached and looked at his face, looked at him with a smile and said, "Brother Change, it's been half a month, right?" The emperor has turned a blind eye, why haven't you even said a word now? ”
Chen Yan blushed and stammered: "Thirteenth Master......"
The thirteenth elder brother is now fourteen, he looks very handsome, he knows the affairs of men and women, and when he saw Chen Yan's embarrassment, he laughed more and more, "Don't worry, if the girl is willing to be angry with you, most likely it is-" The fourth elder brother glared at him, turned his head and said in a harmonious voice: "Change, you can go." ”
The four elder brothers entered the imperial curtain, Kangxi was fine, so he asked the fourth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother about the affairs of Yongding River, the fourteenth elder brother watched Kangxi turn around and point to the water shape on the curtain wall, the fourth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother all followed, and quietly walked to the door tent.
While looking at the armor standing on the side of the curtain pillar, he quietly reached out to pull Qi Su Niang's braids, but she looked at her coldly and avoided it.
"What's the matter, since you don't want to be affected by him, the master can naturally keep you." The fourteenth elder brother has grown a lot taller in the past six months, his face has become a little tanned on the grassland, and he looks at Qi Su Niang with a smile.
Qi Su Niang turned her head, her eyes staring at the curtain, but she didn't hear it. The fourteenth elder brother seemed to be in a very good mood, or because he was in Kangxi's tent, he didn't even get angry, he came over more and more, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, the master said to accept you as a slave, and the master will not let you be the same as that Rui Gu." As he spoke, he reached out to pull her braids.
"Fourteenth brother, come and take a look here." The thirteenth elder brother suddenly called, and the fourteenth elder brother was startled, frowned slightly, and walked away.
The wind and waves were turning, and the grass waves chased the sky in waves, and when I watched from a distance, I was dyed golden by the sunset. Qi Su Niang glanced back at the big camp, and once again made sure that the prince who had been beaten by her countless times in her dream did not come with her, and her mind slowly relaxed.
Suo Etu is the uncle of the crown prince, Mingzhu is the uncle of the eldest brother, and the eldest brother seems to be with the prince, and the prince ——, Qi Su Niang remembered the rumors that were no longer a secret in the palace, and sighed slightly.
Two horses came running on the edge of the sky, playing horses and laughing, and they were at ease. Immediately, the two upright figures were reflected by the remnant sun, and they couldn't see their faces and identities. The sound of horses' hooves slowly approached, and the dazzling yellow ribbon on the thirteenth elder brother and the nine rank official stone blue yin pattern wisp embroidered sparrow supplement were clearly distinguished. Qi Su Niang hid in the shadows of the trees and sighed softly. The two horsemen galloped through the woods ten paces away without realizing it, and the people on the horses were high-spirited, bright and refreshing, which made the twilight in Qi Su Niang's eyes brighten up for a while......
It was getting late, there were countless bonfires burning in the camp, Kangxi was feasting the Mongolian kings, and on the three major blazing bonfires, the emperor, elder brother, and the guards were roasting today's rich prey, and a skinned black bear was roasted on the fire in the middle. Kangxi smiled and beckoned the guards who hunted Xiong Zhen today to come forward and rewarded three cups of imperial wine, Qi Su Niang watched from a distance at the gate of the camp, like a slave in the Governor's Mansion of Zhili.
The guards of the cavalry battalion carried torches and patrolled the camp in columns. Qi Su Niang slowly walked into the big camp gate, listening to the long Mongolian long tune echoing, the handsome people at the luxurious banquet sang and danced enthusiastically, bringing full of prosperity and harmony, Qi Su Niang couldn't help but stop, watched a few songs and dances before leaving.
Qi Su Niang walked along the edge of the banquet to her small tent, quietly turned into the path among the many tents, suddenly heard a whisper, and saw that there seemed to be two figures in the tent shadow around the corner. ”
Qi Su Niang was startled by the deliberately suppressed shout and took two steps back, and the cold hair on her back was provoked by the thick murderous intent in this voice. She shuddered, her right hand retracted into her sleeve and grasped the head of the bronze hairpin, and she took three steps back to the bright spot where the fire could reach.
The half-light and half-dark firelight could not stop the murderous aura surging secretly, and a man stood out of nowhere in the dark, wearing a tiger skin hat, covering most of his face, looking in the dark as if he was a bear hunting guard who had just been given wine by Kangxi.
She knew that she had bumped into a secret matter, her mouth was dry, and she resisted the urge to flee, so she barely bowed calmly, turned around and prepared to leave. She pricked up her ears and took the first step slowly, not hearing a single movement behind her, but the smell of blood left over from the hunting of beasts gradually poured into her nostrils, which made her sick to her stomach.
Qi Su Niang felt the man's hot and cold breath blow against the skin on the back of her neck, and knew that the man was chasing after her. She gritted her teeth violently, and was about to jump over the wall in a hurry to break the net, but she heard the man behind her pout, and his murderous aura faded a little. At this time, someone behind the tent shouted: "Cui Hao, go with her." ”
Qi Su Niang walked back to the tent step by step, and fell on the bed, her underwear soaked with cold sweat. She looked at the top of the tent with wide eyes, and it was clear that it was the voice of the eighth master, what could this master do, sneakily and secretly seeing people. The eldest brother is the eldest son, but he is only eighteen or nineteen years old, and he looks at them well on weekdays, is it possible that it is for the eldest brother? The rules of the Manchurians are different from those of the Han people, and I heard that there is still a matter of the Eight Banners discussing that file......
Quickly forget about it, she has been let go, Qi Su Niang thought like this, and slowly fell asleep.
Unexpectedly, the next days were not as peaceful as she hoped, except when she was waiting in the Kangxi tent, every time she walked in the camp, she always felt like a mang on her back, and someone was watching from time to time. Qi Su Niang's heart was uneasy, even at night she didn't dare to sleep, but she had to endure it, and on the fourth day, when she opened the curtain and saw a man wearing a tiger skin hat and a green fox fur jacket, standing in her tent, her heart beat wildly......
