Chapter 46: Because You Are My Blessing (Part 2)
In the middle of the night, I woke up with pain in my cervical spine, and when I opened my eyes, there was still candlelight in the room. I couldn't help but moan and asked, "Why don't you sleep yet?" Fourteen looked up from the pile of books, looked at the Western lamp on the ledge, and said in a normal tone, "Just sleep." ”
He didn't ask the palace people on duty to serve, he took off his clothes and slept on my kang. My heart trembled and I said, "Do you want to go to the study to sleep?" "Actually, my kang is very large, no smaller than the bed in the back room, and it sleeps two people. But... Didn't Kangxi have an oracle in front of him? Besides, my back hurts now, and I can't do anything if I want to.
Fourteen had already climbed up in his bedclothes, he knew that I couldn't move by myself, so he carefully moved me to the inside, and slept on the outside, he said: "The rules of the palace are that couples are not allowed to share beds during the Mid-Autumn Festival." I sighed, I didn't seem to understand, my back hurt badly, and I didn't have time to investigate. Fourteen blew out the headlamp, left two bean-sized oil lamps at the head of the bed, and said again before going to bed: "Call me if there is anything." ”
I nodded and said, "Okay." ”
I know that he will go to Shangshufang to study early tomorrow morning, and looking at his diligent appearance, I don't know if Kangxi still has to ask about his homework. My eldest brother Wanyan Haifeng is the fourth master Yongzheng's haha bead, and I also know a little about the things that my brothers are studying. Fourteen was not accustomed to sleeping with others, so he turned his back to me, breathed lightly, and even slept with the observance of etiquette and did not move at all.
The herbs on the back have faded their medicinal properties, and they are wet and sticky, and they are painful and itchy, which is extremely uncomfortable. I wanted to scratch my claws, but I couldn't move, and my bones hurt as if they were cracking. If Eniang Ama is in... When I think of Eniang, I can't help crying.
It's only been a few days since I got married, and I'm thinking about going home.
Fourteen didn't fall asleep, but he noticed something and asked, "Does it hurt?" Do you want the imperial doctor to come and take a look? I didn't want to toss, so I suppressed my voice and said, "Forget it, don't make a fuss, so that the palace people think I'm arrogant." Fourteen paused, turned around, and was almost close to my body, he stretched out his arm to pill under my neck, leaned over and took me half into his arms, and asked, "Is this more comfortable?" ”
His embrace, of course, is softer and warmer than the hard kang head.
My tears were even more turbulent, and if he didn't pay attention to me, I would have survived a few tears silently, but he wanted to care about me and provoke me, as if the wounded heart suddenly had a place to put on, and all defenses would have collapsed. I cried so hard that I frightened him out of my mind and said, "What's the matter?" ”
I cried, "If you don't like me, why are you being nice to me?" ”
He sneered lightly, patted me on the back, and said, "Because you are my blessing." I was stunned, and suddenly thanked the ancients for their morality, they may never know what love is, or they may have never experienced love in their lives, but they have a sense of responsibility, and there are countless ancestral rules, even if they do not end up from the beginning, people with a little moral decency will never treat their white-haired wives badly. Especially people like Fourteen, who have undergone an orthodox education. Maintaining Fujin's status is as important as maintaining his own status. For the first time since I married into the Forbidden City, I smiled sincerely, still with tears.
Fourteen saw me crying and laughing, and couldn't understand it at all, so he said with a serious face: "It's really faster to change your face than to change the sky, isn't it funny?" I cheekily squeezed him into his arms and said, "yes, that's funny." Fourteen stopped talking, the room was silent, as if I had drunk analgesics, and I gradually fell asleep.
Worry-free overnight.
