As the sky gets darker, the snow tends to fall heavier and heavier.

Kangxi slammed the teacup on the small table in his hand, stared at Sun with heavy eyes, and his thin lips moved slightly: "Marriage, which son does Mama fancie?" ”

There is danger in the seemingly casual tone, as if the slightest mistake will kill you in the next moment.

The Sun family is not really the head iron, and continues to touch the dragon whisker when he knows that the emperor is unhappy. Besides, giving marriage is not her real purpose, so Sun only said vaguely: "Let the emperor laugh, the old slave has no choice at the moment, he just wants to take the opportunity to ask for a favor." ”

Kangxi didn't care whether the Sun family valued the son or not, but he saw that the Sun family changed his tone, and Kangxi also restrained some coldness, and said: "Mama is too anxious, Mama has raised Miss Cao so well, according to me, there should be the best place in the world." After all, not everyone can raise the delicate flowers in the boudoir. ”

Since Ao Bai was captured, defeated Wu Sangui, and recovered Taiwan last year, Kangxi is already in power, saying everything in the court, and even the imperial grandmother who interfered in the government a few years ago has rarely asked about the affairs of the court in recent years, and Kangxi can not be said to be unwilling.

Under such circumstances, the more majestic Kangxi himself was, the more displeased he became.

Therefore, when he knew that he was interested in Miss Cao, if someone came to him and begged him for marriage, he would definitely be dragged out and scolded by him at this time. In more serious cases, maybe even your life will be gone.

But the person in front of him is his grandmother, and he can only explain his meaning as much as possible to the person who has been attentive to him since he was a child.

After all, in the whole world, apart from him, who else can, who deserves to have such a woman.

Sun understood the meaning of Kangxi's words, so he waited for Kangxi's words.

So after Kangxi saw his words fall, Sun suddenly cried sadly: "The emperor forgives the sin, the old slave is rude." ”

"It doesn't matter." Kangxi pointed his fingertips on the table, did not care about Sun's gaffe, but patiently asked: "If Mama has any concerns, you can say it bluntly, I am not such an unreasonable person, as long as Mama's request is not excessive, I will agree." ”

Sun knelt on the ground with his head bowed, held a handkerchief and dipped his tears, and choked up: "The old slave is just worried about Yue'er, Yue'er has not been in good health since she was born prematurely, so the old slave and her father raised her with all kinds of fine care, so they raised her." The Cao family is small, and Yue'er is such a simple character, the old slave is afraid... I'm afraid she'......"

Although Sun hesitated and didn't finish his words, Kangxi's eyes flashed, and he had a deep understanding of what Sun said.

can be unruly, and shake his face when he sees him, this temperament is really not suitable for survival in the palace.

But Cao Yue is the person he has set a long time ago, and it will be impossible for him to let go of Cao Yue and marry at will.

Before Kangxi could come up with a good way, Sun once again bowed: "Your Majesty, the old slave has nothing to ask for, but to ask the emperor to see that there is only one daughter under the old slave's knees, no matter what happens in the future, please also ask the emperor to save the little girl's life." ”

Sun's words were full of distrust of Kangxi, Kangxi felt that he should have been angry, but he felt that Sun's move was not superfluous, and he was grateful for Sun's motherly heart that he wholeheartedly planned for his daughter, just like Sun's dedication to planning for himself back then.

Thinking of this, Kangxi agreed: "What Mama asked for today, I answered." ”

As long as the Cao family did not commit any major crimes of rebellion, he would remember today's promise.

"Thank you, the old slave won't bother the emperor, and retire first."

Liang Jiugong stepped forward to help the slightly trembling Sun, and after sending the Sun out of the East Courtyard and returning to the Warm Pavilion, he heard Kangxi sigh suddenly.

Liang Jiugong changed the hot tea for Kangxi, and asked carefully, "Why is the emperor sighing?" ”

Kangxi picked up the teacup, skimmed off the foam on the tea soup with the lid, and pecked lightly: "It's nothing, it's just that the Cao family has a mother who is dedicated to her." ”

If his mother was still there, he would be like Sun, right?

When Liang Jiugong heard this, he knew that this was not something he could interject, so he simply shut up silently.

After a while, seeing that Kangxi had no intention of continuing, Liang Jiugong pondered to tell Kangxi about going to Xiyuan in the morning.

After hearing this, Kangxi raised his eyebrows with interest: "Oh? Dare to do this to my will, the Cao family is still the first person in the harem. ”

Liang Jiugong lowered his head, you must know that when a man calls a woman's surname, he thinks that this woman is his woman from the bottom of his heart, and it seems that the emperor has already identified Miss Cao in his heart.

Looking at the snowflakes falling in the wind outside through the thin window paper, Kangxi wondered: "I have always been unable to figure it out, obviously I and the Cao family had a good conversation yesterday when they were in the peach forest, and the Cao family's attitude did not change when I went to Zhuangzi for dinner, but after knowing my identity, I became as alienated and cold as when we first met?" ”

No, Cao's attitude towards him now is to avoid him, if it weren't for his identity here, I'm afraid Cao would have to take a detour when he saw him.

Liang Jiugong didn't know either, so he smiled and didn't speak.

Kangxi thought about it for a long time and didn't figure it out, but his brain hurt when he thought about it, so he simply shook his hand and got up and walked out: "Go out with me." ”

"Huh."

Liang Jiugong took off the black coat from the hanger and waited for Kangxi to put it on, and took the oil-paper umbrella from the little eunuch guarding the porch to personally hold the umbrella for Kangxi.

Walking and walking, Kangxi walked to the gravel road that he walked on during the day, he suddenly stopped and looked into the distance for a long time: "Does the Cao family live over there?" ”

Liang Jiugong looked at Kangxi's line of sight: "Yes, Miss Cao lives in Xiyuan." ”

Seeing that Kangxi raised his feet and went to Xiyuan without hesitation, Liang Jiugong was busy and carefully waiting to keep up, but he silently ordered a wax for Cao Yue in his heart.

On the opposite side of the artificial lake, a small shadow suddenly turned around and disappeared into a path.

In Xiyuan, An Ning had just finished serving Cao Yue and was about to close the door to keep vigil outside, when An Ping suddenly burst out of front of her, squeezed into the house and urged An Ning to close the door quickly.

An Ning was puzzled, the movements in his hands were not ambiguous at all, and after closing the door, he looked at An Ping, who had entered the inner room, and hurriedly said, "What are you doing, the girl has already rested." ”

What answered her was the back left by Anping.

An Ning bit her lip angrily and followed in angrily.

Cao Yue can be regarded as having learned court etiquette for a day today, and her body has long been tired, but she has always slept badly, and she has not fallen asleep at this time, and is leaning on the bedside to read a book.

A large shadow suddenly fell on the book, and as soon as Cao Yue looked up, she saw An Ping, who was returning home from leave, standing in front of her: "Why are you back here?" ”

An Ping shook his head, hurriedly knelt on the pedal, lowered his voice and said: "Don't ask, girl, listen to the slave maid, on the way back, the slave maid saw someone coming to Xiyuan, but it was too dark, and the slave and maid couldn't see clearly, only vaguely looked at the figure, like a man, and a waiter." ”

An Ping didn't say the guess in his heart, but Cao Yue knew that the only one who could make An Ping like a great enemy could only be the emperor who lived in the East Courtyard.

But it's so late at this time, what is he doing in Xiyuan?

Cao Yue threw the book aside, pondered for a moment, raised his hand and beckoned An Ning, who had just come in, and whispered a few words in the ears of the two of them.

"Remember? Don't show your cowardice later, if he doesn't say anything, we shouldn't find out. ”

The two maids glanced at each other and nodded solemnly.

The lights in the main house of the West Garden were flickering, but the courtyard was dark and empty, except for the two mothers-in-law guarding the gate at the courtyard gate.

After Kangxi successfully shocked the two mothers-in-law guarding the door with his identity, he stepped into the boundary of Xiyuan in a grand manner, and then skillfully found the corner where he could listen to the root of the wall and stood in the corner.

“...... The girl had studied the rules all day, and her knees were bruised. ”

I only heard Cao Yue say in a cold voice: "The emperor's grace is vast, don't say that it is just a little bruised, it is just my life, how can I not be unreasonable?" ”

"Girl, don't be like this, if you feel uncomfortable, just cry, why torture yourself."

An Ping was confused when he heard this, and pulled An Ning: "What happened?" Why was it that I was away from the girl for two days, and the girl became like this? ”

An Ning cried, and couldn't help blurting out: "It's not because of ......"

When the words came to his lips, he realized the identity of the person he was about to say and didn't dare to speak nonsense, so he had to say vaguely: "In short, the girl is depressed because of him." ”

Anping didn't understand, and when he was about to ask again, Cao Yue suddenly burst into tears and was sad: "I thought that it was just an ordinary son who played Jiaowei with me, and that was the first time I lost my temper because of a person." After leaving from the peach forest, I even thought about asking my eldest brother to inquire about his son-in-law, and then ...... Then ......"

"But I didn't expect him to be the emperor."

Cao Yue held An Ning's shoulders suddenly: "An Ning, why is he the emperor." ”

The incoherent words were full of sadness and incomprehension.

An Ping was puzzled: "Could it be that the emperor is bad?" ”

"Of course not." Cao Yue suddenly raised his voice, startling the two who were eavesdropping: "I just want to live an ordinary life with an ordinary person, playing the piano, cooking tea and appreciating the snow, I don't want to, I don't want to ......"

Before he finished speaking, Cao Yue threw herself into An Ning's arms and cried bitterly.

An Ping seemed to be frightened by Cao Yue's crying appearance, and wiped Cao Yue's tears helplessly, racking his brains to comfort: "Girl, don't cry, be careful of hurting your eyes." When the slave came back today, I heard Mama Hua say that the old lady has gone to ask the emperor to marry you, do you want to know which family it is? ”

When Cao Yue heard this, she slowly stopped crying, and returned to the appearance of the Cao family girl who was cold enough to treat people and everything: "It doesn't matter. I should have dropped this idea in my heart, so it's better for anyone. ”

In the shadow of the root of the wall, the smile in Kangxi's eyes almost overflowed, so it was.

The comfort and persuasion of the maid in the house continued, but Kangxi didn't want to listen to it anymore and turned to leave.

After Kangxi left, one of the mothers-in-law guarding the door saw that Kangxi had gone away, and hurriedly increased her action to close the door.

The sound of the door closing came into the house, Cao Yue stopped sobbing, and the three masters and servants breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Cao Yue touched her red and swollen eyes, and the feeling of sourness and pain was extremely uncomfortable: "I don't know if it's worth it for me to cry." ”

How many traces can be left in his heart, and how much can he be hearted.
