The Ninth Master was stunned in disbelief, and only shouted after a while: "You already knew..." looked around again, lowered his voice, gritted his teeth and said, "Since you know, why are you hiding it from me?" Don't you remember what you did? Dare you hide it from me..."

Fourteen: "I have been very regretful and guilty in the past few years. ”

The Ninth Master said angrily: "I know you feel guilty. But for the sake of a slave who deceived you, a slut who wants to fly on the branches, do you still want to bet on the future of you, me, and starling? ”

On the same day, the emperor intended to marry Wanyan Rose to the thirteenth master, and the fourteenth knelt in Qianqingmen for a night, in order to marry Yan Qiangrose. If the news of Ailian's pretending to be Rose spreads and is used by the prince's people, it will inevitably be said that Yan Luocha instructed the slave maid to seduce the fourteenth in order to let his daughter marry the more powerful and reliable fourteenth master.

Rumors are unpredictable, and the slightest carelessness is a great crime of deception.

The Ninth Master continued: "If you don't think about Lord Luocha, you should also think about Weiwei. If Weiwei knew that you knelt in Qianqingmen all night that day for her slave, you let her do this? Don't you know her character now? Rather for the jade to be broken, not for the tile, once it is clear, how should you end it? "Fourteen is also worried and afraid, so he has been courting Ailian to leave the palace.

Fortunately, Ai Lian also agreed to leave the palace.

Fourteen was about to speak, but at a glance he caught a glimpse of the thirteenth master standing behind the pillar. Thirteen rushed in front of him in a few steps, pursed his lips tightly, his brows were deeply locked, and his eyes were like sharp arrows, nailed to Fourteen's body fiercely. The Ninth Master asked, "How much have you heard?" Thirteen punched Fourteen on the left cheek, hitting Fourteen and staggering, tilting to the side, and almost falling.

Thirteen said bitterly: "I heard it all..."

Before he could finish speaking, Fourteen returned a punch that made the corners of Thirteen's mouth bleed. The Ninth Master was puzzled, and hurriedly stopped him, separated between the two, and said, "Why did you two fight?" Fourteen opened the ninth master with one hand, grabbed the thirteenth collar, and said, "I let you last time, do you think I will let it go forever?" The matter between me and Weiwei, whether it is quarrel or affection, does not bother you, you better stay away, otherwise I will not be polite! Thirteen didn't answer, and the muffled sound was a punch. Fourteen was unkind, and returned a punch with a wave of his arm. The two brothers started fighting, and the ninth master was completely confused, his martial arts were not as good as thirteen or fourteen, so he could only watch and be anxious. The third master, the fourth master, the eighth master, and the tenth master heard the movement and came over together, seeing this situation, the third master shouted: "Stop it for me!" ”

The ninth master rolled his eyelids and said secretly: What's the use of shouting? My voice was screaming.

In the end, it was the fourth, eighth and tenth masters who worked together to pull the two apart. If you want to ask the two of them what they have doing, no one will say, and then ask the ninth master what is going on, and the ninth master will not dare to squeak.

The matter began inexplicably, and the ambiguity ended.

The eighth master gained power, and there were more public offices assigned to the fourteenth. In addition, it is almost the end of the year, many things have to be finished, and Fourteen is so busy that he basically only goes back to the palace for a late meal. Sometimes, he came back and I slept. I woke up and he was gone again.

During the day, I have nothing to do, and I often go to the thirteenth master's study to get a book. My heart is open, even if I bump into Zhao Jia's, I dare to smile and greet and gossip. Zhao Jiashi smiled: "It's inconvenient for you to have a big belly, wouldn't it be better to let the palace people come for a trip?" Her eyebrows were upturned, the corners of her mouth were raised, but there was no smile in her eyes, and I was not stupid, so I could naturally guess a little.

I said politely: "Brother only has you and me, and I don't want to go outside, so I go out for a walk, and by the way, I borrow two idle books from the Thirteenth Master, and I have the right to move my muscles." Thirteen picked out a few books from his small library that matched my taste, put them on the stone table, and said, "I just bought them from outside the palace, the latest - "suspense". ”

The term suspense was taught to him.

They are collectively referred to as "not very serious books".

I'm chasing a copy of "The Case of Song Cheng Fraudulently Committing a Corpse", which is a hand-copied book from the workshop, one volume is published in ten days, ten hand-copied editions are published at a time, and the others are all printed. As soon as a new book comes out, Thirteen will buy it and give it to me for collection. And every time it is a manuscript, sometimes it is the author's original handwriting, which is not easy. After coming so many at once, I was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Thirteen Masters." ”

Thirteen smiled gently: "It's a gesture." ”

Seeing Zhao Jia's staring at the side, I felt uncomfortable, so I asked Minqiu to take the book and leave. Zhao Jia's skin didn't smile, and pretended to be demure and said: "Look carefully at your feet, don't fall." Before I could finish speaking, I leaned forward and almost collapsed. Thirteen was nervous, and said, "I'll send it..."Zhao Jiashi hurriedly interjected and said, "Seeing that you are walking unsteadily, I will send you." ”

I said, "No, no. He glanced at Thirteen again and said, "Don't worry." ”

Originally, I wanted to talk to Thirteen for a while, hey, back to the West Courtyard, Fourteen was not there, and the house was empty. I had a stomach full of things, I couldn't do anything, I was bored to death, and I wasn't even in the mood to read.

When it got dark, I sat on my shoulder and went to Yonghe Palace to say goodbye. Concubine De was busy with the Spring Festival, and she didn't have time to talk nonsense with me, so she sat for a cup of tea, asked for a good time, and went home again.

When it was dark, the fourteenth returned to the palace.

He is basically tired like a dog, spread on the kang, and never move his fingers if he can not move. I waited for him to take off his coat, shoes and socks, wrung a towel and washed his face. I said softly, "Don't lie here, go sleep on the couch." Fourteen closed his eyes and muttered: "If you have to go to the Qianqing Palace to see Huang Ama, I will rest for a while, and call me in two quarters of an hour." "He has a bright eyebrow, and even when he is asleep, his posture is excellent, and he will never move and kick. I sat on the side and looked at him and couldn't help but lean over and kiss him on the lips.

I just clicked on the water, but he lifted his upper body and kissed it all the way back. The hot kiss lingered, and several little palace maids in the house were so embarrassed that their faces were flushed, and they secretly withdrew. Finally letting go, he rolled over and put on his shoes, and I asked, "Why don't you sleep for a while?" Fourteen said: "I'll go early and come back early." And he said, "You wait for me to be late." I smiled happily and said, "Then what do you want to eat?" I let the kitchen prepare. I took his clothes and buttoned them for him, and he said, "The soup dumplings I ate last time were good." ”

With that, he left.

Although he just said it, the kitchen still has to make dough again, and Daqing doesn't have a dough machine. I had to ask the cook to knead the dough, put it in a porcelain basin, wrap it in layers of cotton cloth, and put it on a hot kang to ferment. Look at it every half hour. Fortunately, I went out at fourteen or seventeen o'clock and didn't come back until ten o'clock. When the fermentation was almost complete, I immediately asked the cook to make the buns.

By the time we finished eating, it was almost twelve o'clock.

The next morning, when I woke up, he was gone. In this way, until winter, only half a month is about to celebrate the New Year, and the fourteenth will stop slightly. It's rare that he has free time, and I took a warm sedan chair with me to Yonghe Palace to ask for peace, Concubine De hadn't seen fourteen for a long time, looked up and down, and said with a smile: "E-niang thinks you seem to be different." With him, Concubine De and I also seemed more harmonious than usual, I smiled: "Eniang, he is the time when he grows up, and he is not seen every day." He has been walking around outside the palace with the eighth and ninth masters these days, tanned and strong. Concubine De nodded, patted the back of Fourteen's hand lovingly, and said, "Thank you for your hard work." ”

Fourteen was spoiled by Concubine De, and said with a smile: "It's not hard, it's not as good as Eniang to manage the harem." ”

Concubine De pretended to be angry, and then laughed again: "No matter how big the harem is, it is not as important as the previous dynasty, you follow the starling brother to learn to do things and help Huang Ama share the government affairs." He suppressed his voice again and said, "The prince, don't provoke it." ”

Fourteen: "My son knows." ”

The mother and son were talking, and someone from the palace came to pay respects, so I and Fourteen got up and said, "E-Niang is busy, let's come to E-Niang again tomorrow to say goodbye." Concubine De didn't stay, she went all the way to the platform, and looked at the sedan chair disappearing, before she turned around and asked the palace people.

It's going to be the New Year, and the palace is full of lights, and the Internal Affairs Office has sent a lot of new furniture and new silk, saying that it was rewarded by Kangxi. I rearranged the house, cut a lot of window flowers with a few palace maids and pasted them on the green screens, and tied countless Chinese knots, hanging them on lanterns, trees, and eaves... The palace people are also wearing red and green, the weather is getting colder and colder, the snow is fluttering, and the New Year's flavor is particularly strong.

On the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, I had prepared a lot of silver horns and red envelopes and distributed them to the palace people in the courtyard. I was grateful for the care of the hospital, so I asked Minqiu to take a box of red envelopes and rice cakes to reward people. The rice cake is wrapped in zongzi leaves, then wrapped with a layer of yellow paper, and tied tightly with a thin thread, which is very light to carry in the hand, and it is also suitable for making gifts.

Minqiu led a few palace maids to the Tai Hospital, and when they saw people, the imperial doctor and the medical girl thanked them again and again, not because they got a few coppers, but because they had a reward from above, and they felt very happy. Ai Lian was afraid of bumping into Minqiu, so she hid aside and didn't dare to show up, and waited for the people to leave before returning to the room. Seeing a bag of things on his bed, he grabbed another doctor and asked, "Who put it?" ”

The doctor girl said casually: "It seems that the fourteenth master asked someone to send it." ”

Ai Lian opened it and saw that it was different from other people's rice cakes, it was the red date cake she loved to eat. Recalling the old years, Fourteen once bought red date cakes for her in a street market. Ailian's heart was sweet, thinking that Fourteen was still worried about herself, so she ordered someone to send red date cakes. She was reluctant to eat, put it in her hand and played with it for a long time, then wrapped it again and put it back on the pillow, and went out to work with the medical girl.

When the lamp was in hand, music was played in the Qianqing Palace, and in addition to the imperial doctors and medical women on duty, everyone who had nothing to do in the Tai Hospital could go home for Chinese New Year's Eve. Ai Lian had nowhere to go, so she had a banquet in the backyard with several palace people. When she was drunk and slightly drunk, she staggered into the room and lay down in the dark, remembering the red date cake given by Fourteen, and leaned under the pillow.

Unexpectedly, the jujube cake was bitten by rats.

She was so angry that she woke up halfway through the wine, took out a matchstick from the cupboard, turned on the lamp, and looked to the ground, and there were four or five mouse corpses lying in the room, and there was a mouse with half a piece of red date cake in her mouth! If she was struck by lightning, Ai Lian was frightened and angry! She trembled like she had been torn apart by five horses, and it hurt everywhere, everywhere, and everywhere—beyond words.

He was going to kill himself twice!
