Sixty-three
After I got up, I said to the queen: "Say hello to the queen", and the queen said: "The virtuous concubine doesn't have to be polite, hurry up!" I got up and retreated to the side, several nobles saluted me, I nodded and signaled them to be exempt, then waited quietly, so many people in the hall, but there was no sound at all, to wait for the queen mother, the queen mother and the emperor used too early, there were palace maids out to pass the word, and then the eunuch outside sang: "The queen mother, the queen mother, the emperor started out of the palace", the emperor supported the queen mother in front, the queen mother was behind, followed by the queen and the concubines, a group of people out of the hall, the outside has been prepared shoulder with, the queen mother is a frame, The queen mother, the emperor, the queen, when the queen mother and the queen mother are on the shoulder, the emperor said: "Imperial grandmother, the grandson will not sit next to your old man", and then said to me: "Virtuous concubine, come to my side", I was standing behind me with my head down, listening to him call me and slowly came behind him in the complicated eyes of the concubines who did not know whether they were envy, jealousy, or resentment, God knows how reluctant I was, the emperor did not sit on his shoulders and the queen naturally did not sit again, the whip sounded, The group went to Xihua Gate in a majestic manner.
Everyone came to Xihua Gate to stop, the emperor supported the Queen Mother under the shoulder, the Queen Mother was supported by the Queen Mother and the Queen shoulder, the Queen took the concubines to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother and the Emperor saluted, then retreated to the side, we came to the Xihua Gate outside, civil and military officials, the bone guard of honor, the carriage and horse sedan chairs, all kinds of people, etc., a large group of crows and crows waited there, although there were many people but there was no noise, see the emperor, the Queen Mother came out, all knelt down to salute, three shouts long live, after the emperor called, There is a special person to serve us on the sedan chair, when the queen mother and the queen mother are on the sedan chair, there are palace people to take me to the back of the sedan chair, the emperor said: "Qing'er, you go first!" I'll pick you up when I'm out of town," I nodded, and I walked back.
Yu Ying and Xiao Lan waited in the back of my sedan chair, saw me come and hurriedly greeted me, the two of them followed me into the car, after a short time I heard the front of the music in unison, and after a short time the car slowly moved forward, out of the palace city, to the inner city everywhere is the sound of three shouts long live and a thousand years old, I opened a little sedan curtain to look out, there are guards everywhere handles, kneeling on the side of the road many people shouted long live, I put down the curtain and asked Yu Ying softly: "Is the emperor like this every time he leaves the palace?" Yu Ying Gong said: "Back to Niangniang, the slave doesn't know, thanks to Niangniang's blessing, the slave is the first time out of the palace after entering the palace", at this time someone said outside: "Niangniang, the emperor sent a slave to send something to Niangniang", the car was not too fast, Yu Ying went out to pick things in, I asked Xiaolan to put the reward money and said: "Go back to thank the emperor for the palace", the man promised to go, what was sent was a food box, Yu Ying opened the food box, the first layer is a variety of pastries served in small plates, the second layer is sunflower seeds, peanuts, Almonds and other nuts, Yu Ying said: "The emperor really has a heart, Niangniang, use some quickly!" I must have been hungry too", I said, "Didn't we bring something with us?" Xiaolan smiled: "How can the ones we bring ourselves compare with those sent by the emperor?" I grabbed a piece of osmanthus candy and stuffed it into Xiaolan's mouth and smiled: "It's really getting more and more unruly."
But it's really a little hungry, he also has a heart, knowing that I didn't eat in the morning and sent a snack over, afraid that I was bored and sent melon seeds to relieve boredom, ate some snacks and drank tea, we have been to the outer city, after walking for a while should be out of the city, outside are still the sound of three shouts long live, the car is not fast, at this speed today can not go to the place in a day, fortunately the day is already cool, otherwise sitting in this sedan chair is really too sinful.
After I drank a cup of tea, the emperor's father-in-law Li came to pass the word in person, saying that the emperor sent me to serve, no way, I had to get out of the car and follow him, and came to the emperor's sedan chair Li Gonggong said: "Your Majesty, the virtuous concubine is here", the emperor said inside: "Come up!" "Gonggong Li helped me into the car, the emperor's car is good, not to mention the inlays and decorations outside, the inside is more than twice as big as mine, there are tables and stools inside, there are tea and fruit snacks on the table, the emperor is reading something, seeing me come in, he didn't raise his head and said: "A little heart on the table, take what you eat", I was not hungry because I just ate, I saw that his tea was only half a cup left, so he filled it up, he was still watching, I asked: "What are you seeing?" Do you have a twist? He said while criticizing: "Well, today's folds, brought with me when I came out, these are all expedited, and I must finish it today", I looked at the box next to the fold, and there are many that I haven't seen, since it is urgent, it must be reviewed as soon as possible, I don't bother him anymore, sit quietly, and carefully recall what happened during the Kangxi period, maybe it will help me and I don't know.
It was withdrawn within a few years after the eradication of Aobai, and now it is the ninth year of Kangxi, and Aobai has passed away, which means that there will be no withdrawal and no war in this two years, people can also live a stable life for two years, and remember that Rong Ruo's ideal is to be able to "travel in a peaceful and prosperous world, travel the mountains and rivers, and compose poems and lyrics", but once withdrawn, it will be followed by a war, and it will be fought for more than ten years, and the most bitter is still the people.
I am a person who really lives in a peaceful and prosperous world, I have never experienced war, but I have seen old photos of the war, photos of the Nanjing Massacre, that kind of scene will be unforgettable for life after seeing it, if I can hope that there will never be war in this world, people can enjoy peace forever, I came back to my senses and saw that he was still looking at it seriously, the tea was already cold, I picked up the tea and poured it and changed it to a new tea and said: "Your Majesty, the emperor will rest for a while and then look at it!" He said: "Well, I'll approve this one", and after a while he put down the fold, took the tea and drank it all and put down the teacup and said: "I'm really a little thirsty", I gave him a full refill: "You are really a "cow drink", when you are thirsty, take a break and drink tea, no matter how anxious you are, it will not be bad for a while! He smiled and said: "Remember it next time", and said to the outside world: "Li Dequan, you come in", outside Li Gonggong came in and replied: "The slave is here", he pointed to the just approved fold and said: "Give these to Mingzhu and let him send them out immediately to do it", Li Dequan buckled the box and locked it, and went out on his knees.
