Chapter 60: The Heart

The days passed in a hurry, and in an instant it was August

And Huizhu's gloomy days did not pass for a few days, Yinzhen was as he said that day, except for eating in the courtyard in the morning and evening, the rest of the time was in Nanmu Palace, accompanying Emperor Kangxi to deal with political affairs, and he still had to go to court early in the morning, or stay in the study and not come out. For more than two months, Huizhu felt like she was still in Prince Yong's Mansion in the capital, but she just came once or twice a month to see each other every day.

Rehe Palace not only melts landscape gardens, temples, pavilions and steles, but also is more than a star and a half, and even the courtyard of Huizhu is also a water town scene surrounded by mountains and water, and water surrounds the island. Therefore, when Huizhu has nothing to do these days, she will always visit this garden that makes her linger. After breakfast that day, Huizhu waited for Yinzhen to leave, and then took Su Xin around the courtyard until the scorching sun was in the sky, fast forward to noon, and then came out of the pavilion next to the river embankment, ready to go back to the courtyard.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Cai Rui came straight out, his expression was a little flickering, and he said in a low voice: "Hui Gege, the master has been back for a while, you, you better go in quickly." When Huizhu heard this, she was a little puzzled as to why Yinzhen had returned so early today, but she didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly walked towards the house.

When I entered the back room, I saw Yinzhen with his clothes open, half lying on the kang and half with his eyes closed. At this time, Cai Wei was also sitting on the cool kang, with her slender and white hands on Yinzhen's forehead, gently rubbing it. Seeing this, Huizhu was a little stunned, she was a person from the past, how could she not feel the ambiguous atmosphere in the room. Huizhu frowned lightly, settled down, and Fang Squatted and saluted: "Concubine please Da'an." ”

Huizhu's voice broke the warmth of the room, Cai Wei suddenly covered her mouth, made a surprised look, and saluted shyly: "Slave and maid, please Gege'an." Huizhu looked at Caiwei, who she loved quite a lot and had a lively personality, and was a little unsure of her mood for Caiwei for a while, so she nodded stiffly.

Yin Zhen didn't seem to notice the embarrassing atmosphere at this time, sat up, and said casually: "Go out." Huizhu bowed and replied: "I walked around the courtyard for a while, but I didn't know that my lord would come back today, but I made my lord wait for a long time." Yin Zhen looked at Huizhu and nodded slightly, waved his hand and ordered: "Who is that, you step back and tell Xiao Luzi that you can prepare lunch." Cai Wei raised her head from her shyness, her face was instantly pale, her eyes were full of disbelief, and she returned to the province after half a ring, saluted, and bowed down. Huizhu looked at Cai Wei who left, and sighed in her heart, but after all, she sighed.

Yin Zhen's eyes lit up, and he took in Huizhu's sympathetic expression for Cai Wei, and couldn't help but hesitate in his heart, and said: "There is a drama in the Qingyin Pavilion of the East Palace in the evening, you go with me, and in the afternoon, pack your bags, and you will go to the Mulan paddock tomorrow." Huizhu couldn't react to Yinzhen's sudden order, and after a while, she said, "Yes, the concubine knows." Yin Zhen said with satisfaction: "Well, there is nothing to do today, I will stay in the yard, you don't have to accompany me, take care of it yourself, the time is a little tight." ”

After a while, Xiao Luzi put lunch on the table, and Huizhu served Yinzhen with dinner, so she was free, and Suxin began to prepare things for tomorrow's Mulan paddock.

When she was alone in private, Su Xin gossiped: "She doesn't weigh her own identity, thinking that she can fly on the branches and become a phoenix." Usually pretend to be innocent and romantic in front of the master, this ambition is not small. Alas, however, she didn't catch anything good, she didn't even know her name, and she didn't even look at her later, which was also pitiful. ”

A slap doesn't make a sound, if Yinzhen doesn't want to, someone forced him, it's just a pity that Cai Wei's girl, who is fourteen or fifteen years old, is a smart and clever person, why do you want to squeeze into the prince's mansion, Huizhu doesn't understand, and she can't understand it. recalled that just now, Xiao Luzi sent Cai Wei out of the courtyard, and Huizhu didn't want to mention it again, so she had to change the topic and said: "Su Xin, you have to think about what to wear to the banquet tonight, but you can't lose the rules on that stubble." ”

As soon as he said this, Su Xin lost his mind and said excitedly: "Gege, the master is paying more and more attention to you, and he decided to let you accompany you to the banquet together, and let you accompany Mulan to the paddock." After hearing this, Huizhu smiled bitterly in her heart, this trip to Rehe, she really understood the other side of Yinzhen, suspicious, cold, and gloomy. How could such a Yinzhen be interested in her, she is now wishing that Yinzhen would not be attentive to her. So, Huizhu also dealt with Su Xin casually, and began to carefully pack up for tomorrow's Mulan paddock.

In the evening, when the time was about to end, Huizhu followed Yinzhen to the Qingyin Pavilion for a banquet.

Along the way, although the sky has darkened, and Yinzhen is still on the side, but Huizhu is still excited, she has been in Rehe for more than two months, and this is the first time to leave the vicinity of the yard and go to other places. Just when Huizhu was full of curiosity and walked for a while, she came to a brightly lit and lively courtyard, Qingyin Pavilion.

Yin Zhen glanced at Huizhu and ordered: "Xiao Luzi, you follow Niu Hulu and lead her to the west pavilion." After speaking, Yinzhen walked to the other side. Xiao Luzi turned sideways to the high pavilion on the side and said with a smile: "Gege, please come with the minion." Huizhu replied with a smile: "Tonight, Father-in-law Lao Lu will take care of it." Xiao Luzi hurriedly claimed that he didn't dare, and bowed down and took Huizhu to the west pavilion.

Huizhu followed Xiao Luzi to a hall surrounded by six screens with black lacquer inlaid flowers and birds, and octagonal palace lamps hung on the eaves, and red silk decorated hall. Without waiting for Huizhu to take a closer look, he saw Xiao Luzi whispering a few words to a eunuch at the entrance of the hall, and the eunuch raised his voice and shouted: "Prince Yong's Mansion Niu Hulu Shu Fu Jin has arrived." ”

After listening, Huizhu had no choice but to enter the hall with a smile, and then under the guidance of Xiao Luzi, Yiyi saluted the other palaces in Fujin, greeted Gege, exchanged greetings for a while, and sat down on the seat at the end of the second row. At this time, Huizhu also quietly looked at the surrounding female dependents, and Fang was relieved. It seems that her orange satin multicolored seeded embroidered hydrangea eight-group women's robe with two big combs is both festive and in line with the identity of the prince's mansion. Immediately, Huizhu was satisfied, and she relaxed, picked up the gaiwan tea placed next to the seat, and prepared to take a few sips, and listened to the arrival of the prince who was preaching to the outside world.

Huizhu helplessly glanced at the celadon bowl in her hand, put it down, and hurriedly got up and saluted with the other female relatives, greeting for a while, just after the throne was decided, and other princes came to Fujin, Huizhu got up and saluted again. When the final Kangxi Emperor arrived, Huizhu and everyone knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying long live the saint, and then really sat down on the chair.

Just like that, after a salute, it was already an hour fast-forward. At this time, Huizhu lost her curiosity and excitement, and when she came here, almost all of them were people with higher status than her, and she saluted in addition to saluting.

It wasn't until the end of the day that Emperor Kangxi gave an order, and a eunuch standing on the stage announced the play "The Legend of Mulian".

After hearing this, Huizhu cheered up and looked at the stage. Within a quarter of an hour, Huizhu began to droop her eyelids, which she couldn't understand at all. began to listen to Xiao Luzi say that tonight is a big drama, there will be real horses, real tigers come forward to perform, but these animals are there, but the starring actors are still these dramas, they are still in this drama, they are still in line with the words of the long, Huizhu not only can't understand a word, but also conforms to the cheers that come out from time to time around.

However, this singing is two hours, and at midnight, Hui Zhufang followed Yinzhen back to the courtyard.
