After cleaning up, Xiao Meng's father-in-law shouted: "The ceremony is over." ”

The other little eunuchs went out one by one.

Umalus changed his clothes in the middle of the room, and then he came out.

After waiting for a while, Kangxi didn't come, she simply took "Journey to the West" and continued to watch.

When she woke up in the middle of the night, she saw Bao Cheng sleeping next to her, and Kangxi was sitting on the side flipping "Journey to the West".

Umaru asked him, "Isn't your lord resting?" ”

Kangxi put down the book in his hand, got up and walked in front of her, held two thumb-sized wine glasses in front of her, held his hand, and drank it in a staggered manner.

Umalus looked at him suspiciously.

Kangxi touched the tail of her eyes: "In your life, I can't give you a wedding, I will make a toast with you, so when we make a covenant, you will be my wife from now on." ”

"If there is an afterlife." He said, "I will carry a sedan chair and marry you." ”

But I don't want to have an afterlife with you.

Umalus thought.

Umalu said, "Okay." ”

Kangxi looked at her eyes, there was no love in her eyes, they were crystal clear.

She's a little liar, he thought.

But he loved her, and that was enough.

He kissed her, "You're not going to change, are you...... You should love me as firmly as you will not change. ”

He knew he was making a fool of himself.

The moment she understood, her heart was filled with a kind of compassion, not the compassion of the woman who felt sorry for her sweetheart, but the tears that the gods, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas shed when they watched the suffering of the world.

"Slaves don't change." She meekly let him do it, her hand gently patting his back, like a mother caressing her crying toddler that night.

He clearly felt that his heart was touched.

He thought, he loved her, he should love her, who could he love if he didn't love her?

She's fulfilling his dreams.

Kangxi took a while before letting go of her and took out a quaint copper bell-shaped bell from under her pillow, strung with bright yellow broken beads.

Kangxi looked at her and said, "I'll put you under the pillow." ”

"The first reward of the new year, I just want to give you."

Umalus took it, shook it, made an empty noise in the middle of the night, and got out of bed and put it in her suitcase.

Subsequently, under her service, he took off his coat, Kangxi only wore his middle coat and went to bed to rest.

Kangxi said suddenly: "Last time, I said I forgot, but in fact, I didn't forget." ”

"Huh?"

"The last time I made a wish, a monk came up to the Imperial Village, and when he heard my wish, he gave me this bell."

"He said that the person I was waiting for would definitely come to me." Kangxi closed his eyes and said everything steadily, "When she comes to me and I give her this bell, she will never leave me." ”

Umaru said, "I will not leave you." ”

She forgot the rules of etiquette, but Kangxi didn't care.

She repeated it again as if she had made up for it: "The slave will not leave the master." ”

Kangxi hugged her in his arms across Baocheng: "Sleep." ”

The two of them went to sleep.

Before going to bed, Umalu vaguely thought that no matter how wise and martial a person was, he would ask for something.

If it is not too difficult to ask for, how can God and Buddha be lucky.

Even during the Spring Festival, the emperor was not more idle than usual.

Early in the morning on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Kangxi will get up, and on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the most important court meeting of the year, he naturally needs to pay more attention.

After Umalu fell asleep, Kangxi took away Bao Cheng, who was going to pay New Year's greetings to the Empress Dowager early in the morning on the second day, and both of them slept back to Kangxi's inner room, so as not to wake up Umalu early in the morning of the second day.

He left lightly and didn't let Liang Jiugong make a noise.

By the time Umalu woke up, it was already early, and Yin Shuang'er finished boiling the medicine and came in to see it a few times.

Shi Xiaoxiao said: "She can really sleep." ”

Yin Shuang'er really didn't want to pay attention to her: "Shut up, if you don't accept your temperament, I'll tell Manager Liang to go." ”

Hearing a voice on the bed, Yin Shuang'er stepped forward and said while waiting for dressing: "Master, it's good to wash and eat first." ”

Shi Xiaoxiao mouthed: "Go up to the dog who is a slave." ”

After she finished speaking, she prepared everything for Umaru to use.

The two waited for her to finish eating, and stared at her after drinking the medicine, and then the two neatly took the used cutlery out.

In the afternoon, Umalus rested.

Yin Shuang'er only came to Shi Xiaoxiao to talk about this: "The master is not in good health, and every day, he drinks more medicine than he eats." ”

She sighed: "After we entered the palace, did you forget what the housekeeper aunt said?" To be able to meet a kind-hearted person like the master is a blessing that we have cultivated. If we meet a more picky master, we will be sad. ”

She was almost bitter: "You, take care of your mouth, don't be dissatisfied, and don't think about doing anything to fly on the branch and become a phoenix." ”

Shi Xiaoxiao's eyes were full of stubbornness: "There are so many masters in the palace who are from Baoyi, including the master we serve, aren't they also Baoyi?" Why do they make it, I don't make it. ”

In her eyes was a blazing ambition: "We are so close to the emperor at this time, why can't we fight?" If you are favored, will you not be a person who has attained the Tao, and the chicken and dog will ascend to heaven. If you don't think about yourself, you should think about your family. ”

Shi Xiaoxiao seemed to bewitch her: "Isn't that Yi master, who entered the palace last year, and was a concubine not long after." I've heard that she's just a tea maid. comparatively. Let's see the emperor more often, you, instead of persuading me, you're still a little angry. ”

Yin Shuang'er lowered her head and embroidered flowers: "I know you look down on me, but you don't want to think about it, how many people can be treated as our masters?" ”

"There are indeed few palace maids who have no position." Shi Xiaoxiao was a little disdainful, "Call her a master, and she will really become a master." ”

Yin Shuang'er felt that she was hopeless, ambitious, and clever, but she didn't know current affairs.

She didn't want to care about her, but she thought of the gentle master Wuya, but she still planned to try to persuade her: "But how many palace maids who have no position will have palace maids to serve?" And how to get the attention of Mr. Liang? ”

She said: "As you said, we have more opportunities to see the emperor than Master Yi, but the emperor has not ordered the two of us so far." It's time for you to wake up from that dream. ”

"You don't understand anything." Shi Xiaoxiao couldn't listen to it, she said sharply, "You will be a slave for life, anyway, I will be the master." ”

The two parted unhappily.

Yin Shuang'er got up and continued to look at the medicine, Umalu slept until the afternoon and woke up, leaned on the bed, and asked Yin Shuang'er to bring "Journey to the West" and continue to read it.

It's business as usual.

After the beginning of the year, in the first month, Kangxi announced the opening of a system that combines recommendation and examination - "Erudite Confucianism".

All key people, no matter how old they are, how many diseases they have, and how stubborn their attitudes are, they will all grasp them.
