Chapter 12: Implications

The weather was already a little hot, and when Meili was outside Cining Palace, she stood under the corridor in the middle of the rules, the morning sun was hot on her, and she didn't dare to wipe it casually with beads of sweat on her forehead. When Yu An came to pick her up, a hint of approval appeared on Duan Ning's face. In the past, Meili always recklessly broke in without waiting for the communication, and when she met the old ancestor to meet the guests, she refused to wait outside honestly, always running around in the yard, tossing and turning, no eyes, no rules.

Maybe she doesn't know that her little trick is indeed just a trick in the eyes of these grandmothers and aunts in the palace. She is just trying to show her ancestors in front of everyone that she is so unscrupulous, hoping that others will look up to her. As everyone knows, this kind of ignorance is even more disgusting, and it makes people think she is ridiculous.

Now...... She probably understood.

"Let's go inside." She smiled indifferently at Meili.

Xiaozhuang looked at the eunuch holding the luggage behind Meili, only a small burden, and felt a burst of compassion in his heart. Meili, this kid...... It's pathetic. Especially now, being so supple and well-behaved is even more distressing! Perhaps, this medicine is too heavy for her, and even her vitality is hurt, and Xiaozhuang is a little embarrassed.

"Come and drink some herbal tea, it's hot, right?" She beckoned Meili to sit down on the kang beside her, and couldn't help but wipe the beads of sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief.

Miri smiled and shook her head slightly.

"I'm staying here all this time!" Xiaozhuang frowned and instructed, "No one in your family takes good care of you!" Your body is ...... bones," she looked at Meili's delicate body, and her eyes returned to her pale but delicate little face, "You must take care of it." ”

After a pause, Xiaozhuang's tone was strange, his eyes flashed, and he seemed to be slightly apologetic, "You also let Yu'an teach you some principles and skills to live at home, and it's not small." ”

Meili stood up and thanked her, and she remembered what the men she heard behind the paddock slope said that the ancestor was going to marry her off...... Everyone couldn't dodge, I don't know, who would be so unlucky to be picked. She smiled bitterly, no matter who it was, although she had no backer from her mother's family and no rich dowry, she would try her best to fulfill her duty as a wife and treat him like a relative...... She can only repay like this, and she can only repay like this.

There was a sound of greetings and bows outside, Kangxi walked in with a faint smile in the crowd of kneeling down, and Meili also saluted him respectfully, and prepared to withdraw with the subordinates decently.

"Sit down, don't go." It was rare for the emperor to talk to her with a smile, although his eyes did not look at her, and his tone was very casual.

Meili had no choice but to sit down and gently beat her ancestors' legs, so as not to sit so embarrassed.

The two ancestors and grandchildren talked a little, and Kangxi suddenly smiled, "What does the ancestor think of Su Ying, this girl?" ”

Xiaozhuang was slightly stunned, and a little understood Kangxi's intention of not letting Meili retreat just now, although he couldn't bear to make it clear in front of Meili, but it was not good to dismiss his grandson's wishes. "It's okay, he has a soft temperament and is handsome." She praised without being salty.

"At present, military spending is tight, Jiangnan's finances are particularly important, and this matter must be Zamulang, who has served in Jiangnan for many years and is the best candidate." Kangxi said a few words lightly. Although Meili didn't understand much, she also understood what the emperor meant, the imperial court was going to fight with Dzungaria, and money was needed everywhere, and most of the silver in the treasury came from Jiangnan, and she had to have a person who was willing to contribute and knew how to collect more money for the Qing Dynasty, how deep the water here was, she couldn't imagine, but she knew that Su Ying's Ama was such a person.

"Recently, Zamulang has been in the household department, he is very powerful, I want to show his daughter a good kiss to show encouragement, and the royal family is not too suitable for the nephews, only Jing Xuan, status, talent and appearance are worthy, since Mongolia and his relatives stopped, his marriage has been put on hold. The old ancestor also saw it, Jing Xuan and Su Ying also have a heart for each other," Kangxi smiled, "I have already told Jing Xuan about this in private, and he also knows the stakes in it, putting these things aside, Su Ying himself is also very fond of it, so I came to ask the old ancestor to be a matchmaker, wouldn't it be more weighty, more auspicious and full than my grandson?" ”

Meili was still smiling and beating her legs for her ancestors, and her expression did not change. When she heard the emperor say Jing Xuan's name, her hand did tremble lightly and lightly, but she tried her best to restrain herself from continuing to beat her legs as if nothing happened, she ...... It shouldn't be an accident.

The emperor didn't let her go, just to let her hear these words and hear them clearly, right? The smile marks on the corners of her mouth deepened slightly, in fact, the emperor was too worried. No matter how stupid she is, she has figured it out in two years.

The emperor also overestimated her persistence, she is also a girl, how can she not give up on a man who refuses to even look at her for two years? She spent the last few taels of silver around her, and begged the little eunuch to go to the emperor to stop him and let him come to see her...... He didn't come, and he didn't even ask the eunuch to bring back a word.

She didn't want to reminisce anymore, grabbed the little eunuch and asked over and over again, "What did he say?" The little eunuch replied impatiently and repeatedly, "I didn't say anything!" The loss and sadness of "just hum", but the feeling is still so clear in her heart at the moment. Hasn't she suffered enough? She's going to laugh at herself!

She suddenly found that in fact, the emperor had hinted at her many times before, but at that time she was so stupid that she couldn't understand, and she was stunned and insisted on going her own way, no wonder she was sad and no one sympathized, it is estimated that everyone was half angry with her sluggishness, too lazy to pay attention to her, she was unlucky and felt that she deserved it.

Now, she understood, listened thoroughly, and was good, so that she would not be hurt again in the future, and she would not be sad again.

"Well, this is a happy event, and it's time for Jing Xuan to start a family." Xiaozhuang nodded, in front of Meili, he really couldn't be enthusiastic.

"My grandson thought, after the spring hunting, I will ask the ancestor to make a decree and do the happy event before leaving for Dzungaria, and Zamulang and I will leave a matter on their minds."

Hyo-joong nodded.

Coming out of the dormitory, Meili went to the side hall to silently pack up her belongings, there were few things, and they were packed up in a while. She was very satisfied with the mood at the moment, indifferent and indifferent, hearing his marriage news was the same as hearing strangers.

Before she could take a sip of tea, the palace maid came to ask her to go to the Empress Dowager again, Meili was a little puzzled, the old ancestor had just ordered her to rest by herself, was there anything urgent?

Before I entered the door, I heard someone in the room laughing and talking in a low voice, there were guests?

In the dormitory, Xiaozhuang is smiling and helping the maid to stand by her favorite flower, and a woman with a familiar back is holding a small pot and carefully sprinkling water on the blooming flowers. They laughed very affectionately, and even Aunt Yu'an, who usually didn't smile, rarely showed a smile and spoke in a low voice.

"Come here, girl." Hyojo nodded to Meili, and the woman turned around with a smile when she heard the voice, and looked at her with a kind smile.

Miri pondered for a moment, and then remembered that she was Yonghyuk's mother, because she was very grateful for Yonghyuk's kindness to her, and she was very sincere when she greeted her.

"Or will you tending to the flowers?" Xiaozhuang walked back to sit on the kang, and said with a smile to Rufujin, "Yu'an doesn't have you two." ”

"Slaves just like to fiddle with that." It should be like Fujin smiled, and said modestly and flatteringly.

"As the saying goes, only women who can raise flowers will pick men, and Yu'an will suffer here." Xiaozhuang said teasingly, causing Yingru and Yu'an to laugh.

Yu'an also pleaded: "That's a slave who sincerely serves the ancestors all her life." ”

"Yingru, I'm so glad you're back, come to me often! Take good care of the few flower seedlings in my garden, I can't trust those flower craftsmen. Xiaozhuang said while drinking tea, Ying Ru smiled and agreed.

"This is Xiao Meili, it's time to leave the cabinet, it's the child I have always taken with me." Xiaozhuang smiled and pointed at Meili lovingly. "You teach her more, and you will get along well in the future, I can trust your skills of teaching her husband and children, see how well you teach Yonghyuk's child!"

Ying Rufu Jin was stunned for a moment, obviously hearing a little eyebrows in the half-joking and half-solemn words of the Empress Dowager.

Meili looked at Ying Rufujin's slowly whitening face and the smile that stiffened at the corners of her mouth, and she felt sorry in her heart. Although what the ancestor said was very tactful, everything that should be understood was understood. She even saw Ying Rufujin secretly look at Aunt Yu'an with troubled eyes, and seemed to ask her for confirmation, and Aunt Yu'an nodded helplessly.

The ancestors' hard work for her, she only recently seemed to have suddenly realized. Miri lowered her head and bit her lip. For her, the gossip in the capital, and the contempt in the clan...... The ancestor naturally knew that he was afraid that she would be angry and suffer if she married into someone else's family, so he thought about it and chose Ying Ru to be her mother-in-law, a monk with a Buddha face...... Should be like Fujin, even if he is unwilling in his heart, he will not treat her harshly.

She also deeply felt the embarrassment of her ancestors, for fear that Ying Ru Fujin would react strongly, things were twisted, and she was the one who was embarrassed and suffered, so she hinted so vaguely and left enough room for her.

Meili clenched her fists, she should really cherish the hard work of her ancestors, no matter how ignorant and obedient she is, she is sorry for anyone. If she had understood earlier, why ...... Fallen to today's field.
