As usual, before Kangxi went down, I would rush to the tea department to prepare the tea, spring water, snacks, etc. needed all day, and naturally today was no exception.

"Sister Shaoying......" was preparing refreshments, and Liuzhu ran in, "Long live the Lord to pass you over." ”

I wanted to ask more why I was summoned alone, but when I saw that her face was wrong, I turned around and hurried away.

I was quiet at the moment, tidied up a little, chose Kangxi's favorite tea set on weekdays, brewed the best Biluochun, and waited until the temperature was slightly higher than Kangxi's daily favorite tea, and then walked in with the tea tray.

There are no outsiders in the Heart Cultivation Palace, only Aunt Su Ma is grinding for Kangxi next to the case. I saw Kangxi's face pale, and when he heard me enter, he didn't look up, and still read the chapter for the first time.

I gently placed the teacup on the desk and bowed my head to say goodbye.

Halfway through, Kangxi said coldly, "Get up." ”

"Your Majesty." My heart tightened, and my mind searched for what I had said and done these days, and I didn't know where it was. In fact, the more times like this, the more I can't make any mistakes, and accompany you like a tiger.

Kangxi's eyes swept over me with a heavy expression, "I ask you, if you are married today, are you willing to marry the thirteenth elder brother?" Or the Fourteenth Elder Brother? ”

How so? I am not old enough to be released from the palace, and even if I were to be given grace, I was not old enough to be married.

It seems that after returning from the plug, the two of them finally went to ask Kangxi for marriage. But the sacred heart is unpredictable, Yinxiang and Yinzhen I will hurt the other no matter who I choose, although I have made a vow with Yinxiang when I was outside the plug before, but I don't want to make Yinzhen sad and sad, after thinking about it, the best choice is to refuse to give marriage, don't make a choice, if you want to hurt me, hurt me alone.

"The slave maid is willing not to marry for the rest of her life, and stay by the side of the Lord Banzai and Aunt Su Ma to serve." I paused.

This answer frightened Aunt Su Ma, and the ink stone in her hand fell to the ground with a bang, splashing a little ink stain.

"The slave missed." Aunt Su Ma picked up the ink stone in a trance, but forgot to kneel, and withdrew from the Heart Cultivation Hall by herself.

That sad face, I think it evokes a sad past.

And Kangxi didn't stop it, just watched the lonely back disappear outside the hall little by little.

He sighed faintly, "Alas......"

I still bowed my head to the ground, not daring to raise my head, anxiously waiting for the result that belonged to me.

"Come out, all of you." At the end, Kangxi said indifferently.

I caught a glimpse of Yinxiang and Yinzhen with sad faces, but they still knelt together respectfully in front of Kangxi.

"Did you both hear what she just said? It's not that I don't make decisions for you, but now it's her Zhao Jia Shaoying who rejected the marriage proposal of the two of you. "It turns out that they came together today to ask Kangxi for marriage, no wonder when I first entered the Heart Cultivation Palace, Kangxi looked at me so coldly. In his opinion, I must be the cause of the brother's disagreement.

"The Emperor ...... Ama"

"Fourteenth master, it's a slave who doesn't know how to lift." Yinzhen just wanted to speak, but was interrupted by me. "Slaves are not worthy of you. Please don't say any more. Although this is for Yinzhen, it is also for Yinxiang. I hope he can understand my dilemma, understand that I can't help myself at this time, and make compromises.

Kangxi stared at the three of us back and forth, and saw that no one had the intention of speaking again, and suddenly showed a tired look, so he said lightly, "Kneel down." After speaking, Li Dequan hurriedly came in from outside the hall and helped Kangxi out. The three of us still knelt with our heads bowed until Kangxi walked away.

After gradually not hearing the footsteps, Yinxiang got up, glanced at me who was still kneeling with his forehead close to the ground, and glanced at Yinzhen who was kneeling straight on the ground, turned around and walked out slowly. During the whole process, Yinxiang didn't say a word or look at me. I knew he must be angry. Are you blaming me for being cowardly? Or blame me for breaking my oath. Either way, this time it was my fault, I made a cruel choice and failed him.

I knelt quietly for a while, turned to face Yinzhen, kowtowed respectfully, and then gently got up and walked out of the Heart Cultivation Palace. I didn't dare to look at Yinzhen, for fear that if I was not careful, I would become a fetter in his heart that he could never get rid of.

Thinking of Yinxiang's indifferent gaze today, it was as if there were 10,000 needles piercing at the same time. What keeps flashing in my mind are the pictures of our past, the wine and joy of the drunken fairy building during the Lantern Festival, the flute sound of the magnolia paddock in midsummer, and the high-fives of the grassland under the starry sky...... Thinking of his iron-blue face today, without saying a word, and pursing his lips, I couldn't hold back any longer, and my tears were gently lowered.

With its long palace roads and red walls and yellow tiles, this huge Forbidden City is like a cage, trapping many free hearts. In this delicate palace, we can't cry casually, we can't laugh casually, let alone love anyone......

Yinzhen has been quietly following me, so that I have nowhere to go, I can't escape, I can't hide, I have to turn my back to him, I don't dare to turn back, I don't dare to make a sound.

"Why did you avoid me after you came back from the plug? Well? Are you so reluctant to see me? Am I so inferior to Brother Thirteen? He grabbed me by the shoulder and sighed quietly behind me, "I'm afraid it's ...... I can't see you again...... Yingying ...... Yingying ...... Yingying ......"

The shallow murmur, helpless and sad, called one by one, mixed with infinite affection, like ripples hitting my heartstrings one by one.

I don't know when the sky is drizzling, and my tears are like water that can't stop flowing. "Yinzhen...... I'm sorry......" I felt sour, squatted down with a wow, and started crying. "I'm sorry...... Sorry ......"

My heart really hurt and I couldn't cry.

I don't know how long it took, but the rain got lighter and heavier, and I couldn't hear anything in my ears except the sound of the rain.
