In the blink of an eye, the Mid-Autumn Festival is full of joy everywhere in the palace, and the palaces and courtyards are full of lights. I don't know why, Kangxi attaches great importance to the Mid-Autumn Festival and holds a banquet every year. Because there are many new palace maids in the palace, Aunt Su Mala asked me to explain the rules every day. Where to change clothes, where to sit, where to receive gifts, where to feast, where to retreat, they must let the rolling melons on their backs be ripe, for fear of any chaos.

On the 15th, I waited in front of the palace early in the morning, waiting for the summons at any time.

One door after another, one heavy salute, one row of guards, at dusk, all the concubines and concubines Brother Fujin Gege gradually arrived, and each sat down. After waiting for a while, I saw a team of eunuchs coming quickly, each standing in the direction, and a voice came from afar, "The emperor has arrived!" ”

Everyone got up and stood still, and after a while, they saw Kangxi coming in surrounded by eunuchs, and everyone knelt on the ground with hula, shouting long live.

Although there were people kneeling on the ground, there was not a single one panting. When Kangxi sat down, the eunuch next to him shouted: "Get up!" Then everyone stood up.

Kangxi smiled and looked at the people below and said, "Sit down!" It's rare to celebrate the holidays, so be casual! Everyone responded: "Wow! "Take your seats. That being said, I don't think everyone should be polite at all.

After three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere at the banquet was a little lively. Several little brothers also began to amuse each other, and they raised their glasses to each other. Among them, the noise of the tenth elder brother was the loudest. The crown prince, the fourth elder brother, and the eighth elder brother also talked and laughed and drank. I was looking around, and suddenly met Yinxiang's gaze, he smiled quietly, looking at me with a little concern, as if to say, how are you doing recently? I smiled back and told him that everything was the same as before, and that he didn't have to worry about it. I thought to myself, he is still good to me and cares about me all the time.

Eat and drink, drink and stop, smile and see. How can you not enjoy the event? I was looking down and thinking about my thoughts alone, when suddenly it became very quiet, and when I looked up, I saw everyone looking at the middle of the hall. I heard the eunuch say, "Guerjia Jingru has come forward to meet you!" ”

I saw a woman wearing a gorgeous costume, wearing gilt steps, and a smile on her face, bowed her head and said crisply: "Your Majesty is auspicious!" ”

Kangxi said: "Get up and talk back!" ”

I stood on the right side of Kangxi, standing on the top of the jade steps, and I could only see a vague outline from a distance, and I couldn't see the woman's appearance clearly.

Kangxi smiled and said to Aunt Su Mala, who was standing on the left, "This is the Guerjia clan I mentioned to you a few days ago?" ”

Aunt Su Mala on the side laughed and said: "I really didn't expect it to be so delicate, it's really cute!" ”

I was still thinking about why I wanted to summon this girl alone, and Kangxi ordered Li Dequan to get a good guqin.

"I heard that you play a good piano, so let's cheer everyone up today."

The woman was ordered to sit down in front of the piano, Qianqian's ten fingers flew on the strings, and the hall was silent for a moment, except for the sound of the piano.

After a song, Kangxi nodded and said with a smile: "In the past, I heard the aftermath of the beam, but today it can be regarded as an eye-opener!" ”

I sighed in my heart, it turns out that there is such a genius in the world, who can turn musical notes into pictures.

Kangxi turned around and said to Li Dequan next to him: "Reward!" ”

Guerjia Jingru hurriedly knelt on the ground again. When he had received his reward, he withdrew.

Kangxi seemed to be in a good mood, and the concubines who accompanied him also talked and laughed. All the elder brothers stepped forward to toast Kangxi and said auspicious words. After the twelfth elder brother walked back to his seat, he only saw Yinxiang and Yinzhen stepping forward, holding the wine and saying: "Congratulations to Huang Ama, every year has today, and every year has today." ”

After speaking, the two of them raised their necks and drank wine.

Kangxi nodded, looked at Yinxiang and Yinzhen with a smile on his face, thought for a while and said, "It's time for the two of you to be blessed this year!?" ”

Concubine Tong Jia, who was laughing with her, hurriedly said: "It's all old, the eldest should have been blessed a long time ago, I don't know if the emperor has an idea?!" ”

As soon as her words fell, all the elder brothers listened attentively, but Yinxiang and Yinzhen invariably lowered their heads and looked thoughtful.

Kangxi said: "Yes! But I was negligent. ”

Concubine De hurriedly smiled and said, "What's the matter, the emperor, you have every opportunity, these things should have been natural." She looked at her son, then at me standing on the side, and gave me a slight hint of deep meaning, and then continued, "A few days ago, the former ladies of the concubines mentioned to me that their youngest daughter Bell was about the same age, and when she was on an errand in front of the palace, she asked me to help you find the right person. I think it's a good match with the thirteenth elder brother! ”

When Yinxiang heard this, he suddenly looked up at Kangxi, looking at him at a loss. Kangxi shook his head, stared at Yinzhen for a while, and said with a smile: "I think the temperament of the bell is as good as the old fourteen, the temperament of thirteen...... More suitable for Jingru. ”

Kangxi meditated for a while, looked at Yinxiang and Yinzhen and said, "That's it, point out Guerjia Jingru to Yinxiang, and Shu Shujue Luo Bell to Yinzhen." ”

Yinzhen held back for a long time, blushed early, and hurriedly said loudly: "Huang Ama, the son is still ...... young."

But before he finished speaking, Kangxi interrupted: "You are still young!?" ”

Yinxiang hurriedly answered, and said in a hurry: "Huang Ama, the fourteenth brother means the fourth brother, and the eighth brother is the first side Fujin, or ......."

Although Kangxi had a straight face after hearing this, he also felt that the status of the two girls was not high after all, and it was indeed inappropriate to be worthy of being a concubine.

Yinzhen bowed his head and said, "Huang Ama, the retainer wants to ....."

Before the words were completed, Kangxi had already turned sideways to Zhang Tingyu under the jade steps and said: "The proposed decree is to match Guerjia Jingru with the thirteenth prince as the side Fujin, and Shu Shujue Luo Lingdang Xu with the fourteenth prince as the side Fujin, and choose an auspicious day to complete the marriage." ”

I saw Yinzhen, Zi's face was up, his face was a little anxious, a little angry, a little painful, and more pleading. Yinxiang on the side was expressionless, not happy or sad, and bowed his head in gratitude.

In the end, with a cold smile on the corner of his mouth, he shouted: "Fourteenth brother, don't thank you soon!" ”

Yinzhen stared at Yinxiang just to look, but Yinxiang had already recovered his gentle appearance, his eyes were dark and deep, and he couldn't tell what was in it.

The most Yinzhen's face was full of pleading, heartache, and anger all melted away, leaving only an indifferent face. He slowly turned his head, lay his hand on the ground, slowly, and kowtowed three times, the sound of his head hitting the ground was clearly audible, and he said loudly: "Erchen Xie Huang Ama!" ”

I just felt that those three rings were all knocked on my heart. Bang, bang and bang, it pressed down so hard that I couldn't breathe.

I have long known that in ancient times, marriage was the order of parents, and it was difficult for individuals to have autonomy. But when I really faced this scene, I felt its cruelty.

I stared at Guerjia Jingru almost desperately, and she kept looking at me, her face a little sad, a little proud, a little unwilling, and a little hateful.

In the end, the sadness, pride, and unwillingness on her face slowly disappeared and slowly turned into a charming smile. In my angry gaze, Tingting stood up and stepped forward to thank her with a dignified demeanor, like a proud peacock showing off its beautiful grace. It was a provocation, just to tell me that what I wanted, she got it first.

Looking at the figures of their dead people kneeling side by side, the sadness in my heart jumped to life, I was almost dizzy for a while, and all the fear that had been hidden welled up, and my whole body trembled.

I don't know what happened next, or how I got back to my dorm. I only remember that in front of the courtyard gate, I saw Yinxiang's shadow in a trance, he was dressed in a crescent-colored robe, and the moonlight was cathartic, no longer the soft figure of the past, only endless loneliness, boundless cold.

##############

After that day, I rarely spoke, except for being on duty, and at all times I locked myself in my room and copied the Buddhist scriptures. But no matter how many volumes of Buddhist scriptures I copied, my heart still couldn't calm down.

Every second of that day was playing back in my head, and I couldn't forget it.

My heart was so cold that I couldn't even shed tears.

I kept thinking, why Yinxiang couldn't refuse like Yinzhen, even if the final rejection was unsuccessful, why did he accept it happily, is it all wishful thinking on my part all these years? Or I have never looked at people, Xu Zhengyao was like this before, and now Yinxiang is also like this.

Chirping......

The door opened.

I got up and tried to close it again, but I saw that Yinxiang was already standing at the door.

His complexion was snow-white, with thick dark circles under his eyes, a slight redness under his eyes, and the remaining stubble at the corners of his mouth reminding me that he, like me, had hardly a moment of peace.

I was about to turn away, but she grabbed me firmly and took me into my arms, I wanted to struggle, but I didn't have any strength, so I could only let him hold me.

"Ying'er, I miss you so much." He spoke to me slowly.

But my heart was sour, and I didn't have the slightest joy. "Master, you are a family man, please let go of the slave."

"Are you blaming me?"

I was silent.

"What are you going to do in that situation? Resisting the Decree? He let go of me abruptly, took two steps back in a panic, and laughed sadly.

He's right, what right do I have to blame him, it's all God's arrangement, neither he nor I have the slightest chance to change, if you want to blame, you will blame your fate.

"Take the time to see the fourteenth brother, he has been sick for half a month, and he is even absent from the south study, if it continues like this, Huang Ama will really be angry." At this time, he still had the heart to care about others.

"Is the Thirteenth Master just here today for the Fourteenth Master?" I don't feel well, so why can't you ask?

"It was Zhang Tingyu who asked me to come over, he waited for me outside the south study for more than an hour, saying that you have been listless lately, I'm afraid you won't be able to think about it." He said lightly, as if he was talking about someone else's business.

I sneered, "That's really hard for you to worry, slaves and maids have a cheap life, whether they are dead or alive....." I couldn't say the last few words, I don't know if I was scared or reluctant, I didn't dare to say it easily.

"I thought you understood me." Suddenly, I saw a gleam in his eyes, and he cried. "I thought that I was guarding the position of Chang Fujin for you, and you would understand that I had a position in my heart that no one could replace except you."

"But I'm stupid...... "How stupid am I to try to get such a fantasy as monogamy in this plane."

He is the prince, he can't have only one Fujin in his life, he can't refuse the emperor's marriage, he is as helpless as me.

Seeing that I didn't speak for a long time, he suddenly took my hand and asked gently and cautiously, "Holding the hand of the son, is the son willing to grow old with me?!" ”

With tears in my eyes, I nodded firmly, "Either life and death, or separate things." ”

He took me back into his arms, and I couldn't hold back my tears, "You don't leave..."

"I don't give up on ......"

It wasn't until this moment that I understood what it was like to be single-minded, life and death.

I finally understood that he had me in his heart, and I couldn't do without him.
