Chapter Eighty-Nine: Honeymoon in Yuquan Mountain Palace (1)
It can be seen from the incident of the king of Zhijun to suppress the demon that Kangxi still has selfish intentions when he abolish the prince. But after all, it is to suppress his own children, and the palms and backs of his hands are full of meat. After King Zhijun was imprisoned, Kangxi couldn't sleep and eat for several days, and emotions such as disappointment, resentment, pity, and fatherly love were intertwined, making him physically and mentally exhausted and tired. Fourteen hearts are the same, when Kangxi asked about the recent situation of King Zhijun, Fourteen said: "One night, I only felt that the eldest brother was ten years old, and the hair on both temples was gray. β
He still calls him "big brother", which makes Kangxi happy.
Kangxi intended to be gracious, and said: "I feel very good about your handling of Yinyu, and I know that you are embarrassed." He sighed slightly, wrinkles rolled up at the corners of his eyes, and said with a smile: "Your daughter-in-law has been lying down for three years, and her legs and feet are weak, and she can't even move around the garden. After a pause, he continued: "The Jingmingyuan of Yuquan Mountain has a good view, in the thirty-first year of Kangxi, I was injured during hunting, and I lived there for a small half a month, the place is clean and wide, and it is a good place to raise people." You take your daughter-in-law to stay for a few days, and come back when you want to come back. Fourteen was stunned, knelt down and kowtowed, and said, "Thank you, Lord Longen!" β
I never dreamed that there would be such a good thing, and I set out the next day after making a fuss about the fourteenth.
At night, I packed my baggage, most of which were the utensils and clothes that I needed for Fourteen, and I had a lot of things, and the two of us packed five carriages together. Fourteen looked at it and asked, "You don't take Ah Xing?" I picked up the Zhu Hai earrings on the dresser and said, "Ah Xing will hand them over to Fang Fujin for a few days." "Back then, I was in a coma, and Shu Gege didn't dare to do anything bad to Ah Xing, but now that I'm awake, if she dares, then she'll try! Fourteen said: "Ah Xing has never been out of the palace, and I want to take her to see and understand." β
I smiled slyly at him and said, "There will be opportunities in the future, but this time, I will be spared." β
I think of this vacation as my honeymoon.
I took a three-year-old child with a handful of snot and tears, what a disappointment. Hey.
After all, it was not the emperor who went out on patrol, the battle was much smaller, and there was no yellow curtain on the side of the road, and as soon as I lifted the curtain, I could see the people walking on both sides. After only half an hour of riding in the carriage, my stomach was so sour that I refused to sit again. Fourteen Dou couldn't help me, so he had to hold me and sit on his horse, and slowly march along the official road. The early summer sun is quite strong, and when the wind passes, the dust flies. I leaned sideways and buried my face in his chest, not even daring to speak, and when I did, I was covered with mud.
When they arrived at Jingmingyuan, the guards and eunuchs inside ran out to greet them like ghosts.
Because they didn't receive any news that the prince was lucky.
No, it should be said that the announcement is on the way, we are in too haste, and the Internal Affairs Office has not yet had time to convey the emperor's will. Fortunately, the things in it are ready-made, and the house covers are taken care of. Jingmingyuan is very large, and our room was arranged in a lush mangosteen area. A small house, with two bright houses inside and out, two dark houses, and a secluded pond in front of the door, with stone paths on both sides of the pond leading to other places. Behind the house is a mountain, lush with trees, and there is no end in sight.
It's so beautiful. 10,000 times better than the Forbidden City.
The point is, there is a small kitchen attached to the back of the hall!
Minqiu commanded the palace people to unload their luggage, and Fourteen and I walked around. A eunuch in charge stepped forward sweating profusely, and said tremblingly: "Fourteenth Master Qiqi, the ingredients allocated by the Internal Affairs Office have not yet arrived, and we will not be able to eat until at least two hours later, you..." There's a kitchen here, there's firewood, and I'll make you pot wrapped meat and three fresh dishes, how about it? β
Between men and women, if you have some fireworks in the world, the relationship will be more harmonious.
After only half an hour of riding down the mountain, we changed into green cloth clothes, pretended to be a country couple, and followed ten spies with us to wander around the market. Shopping is my hobby of life, and since I entered the palace, this hobby has been cut off. Now that I've found an opportunity, I have to buy it. To make pot wrapped meat, prepare pork tenderloin, shredded ginger, shredded green onions, starch, etc. As for the three fresh, you need to buy amaranth, yuan wheat and broad beans, and then use a little chicken stew next to it, and beef can be noodle soup.
I've lived outside the palace anyway, and I know how much I can buy for a tael of silver. Fourteen is completely blank in this regard, belonging to the level of idiots. The small market is very lively, and there are constantly vendors shouting in their ears. I picked meat at the pork stall, and I didn't plan to treat Fourteen as a normal person, so I just let him wait by the side, and didn't let him do anything.
But he just wanted to do it.
After picking the meat, I turned around and saw Fourteen carrying a bulging burlap bag on his shoulders. Before I could ask, the fourteenth invited pet and smiled: "I bought the ginger." He patted the burlap bag on his own initiative and said, "It's enough for us to eat for a year." β
The question is, are we going to eat for a year?
I asked, "How many catties did you buy?" Fourteen said: "The vendor asked me how many catties I wanted, and I didn't know how much you wanted, so I gave him a tael of silver." I was speechless, glared at him, and said, "Where did you buy it?" It's all refunded, and it's enough to buy two pennies. Fourteen turned around and looked at it, and said, "The vendor has closed the stall, and there is no one." β
If you have the brains to buy a burlap bag of ginger, it's no wonder that the hawker didn't slip away quickly.
After buying the vegetables, he returned to the hut and almost all the palace people were gone, leaving only Minqiu to serve him. The palace is no better than the Forbidden City, and you can cook with an open fire. I asked Minqiu to burn firewood, but Xiao Nizi had no experience at all, so she burned the haystack next to her, and the smoke was billowing out, and she lost fourteen hands and feet quickly, and a bucket of water was extinguished. He rolled up his sleeves and said proudly, "I'll make a fire." β
It seems that making a fire is also talented, and Fourteen has never burned firewood, and he has never even seen it, but he can burn the fire very strongly.
But if the fire burns too hot, it's not necessarily a good thing.
I didn't grasp the heat well, and the pot wrapped meat was fried into a black paste, and the ground was fresh, and it was fried into a pile of black paste. Fourteen's face was stained with black charcoal, and he looked at the two plates of dishes on the table where the raw materials could not be seen, and said, "Can you eat it?" I smiled awkwardly and said, "I can always pick two to eat." Fortunately, there was still half a jar of chicken soup, so I soaked him in rice, and then picked out a lot of tender ginger from the burlap bag and cut it into shreds, mixed it with soy sauce, vinegar, onions, garlic, and sesame oil, and served him rice.
He became more and more proudβlook, I can't eat the ginger I bought!
In the evening, when the ingredients from the Ministry of Internal Affairs arrived, I didn't dare to cook anymore, so I left them all to the professional chefs. After dinner, Fourteen took me to wander around the yard, the world was quiet, only a few frogs chirping and insects chirping. The sky was covered with stars, and the shadow of the moon fell in the pond, gently rippling with ripples in the water. I snuggled on Fourteen's shoulder, stepped on the stone road, and my heart jumped like a bird that broke free from the cage, and said with a crisp smile: "There seem to be a lot of fish in the pond, let's fish and make soup tomorrow, okay?" β
Fourteen: "Do you do it, or do it as a cook?" β
I teased him and asked, "Do you want to eat what I made, or do you want to eat what the cook made?" Fourteen pauses, looked at me with a slanted face, and said, "Of course... You did it. I let out a mischievous "huh" and smiled at him with a "I don't believe it" look on my face. Fourteen then revealed his true nature, and said seriously: "Let the cook do it, and you won't need the ginger I bought." β
I sneered, almost spitting him in the face.
After taking two steps, my calves were a little swollen and painful, and I didn't want to worry about it, so I stood still and said, "I'm tired, you carry me back." Fourteen frowned, and said anxiously: "Is it a leg pain, do you want to ask the doctor to take a look?" He actually saw it, and I continued to hide it, saying, "It's not pain, it's sore." β
When we went out this time, we didn't take the imperial doctor out of the palace, and besides, the swollen place should be fine when rubbed with medicinal oil.
Fourteen or two didn't say a word, squatted down in front of me, and said, "Come up." I happily fell on his back, and his back was as broad and thick as his chest and his shoulders. It's soft and warm to lie on it, and it's really comfortable. I couldn't help but express my feelings and confessed: "Fourteen, I will never regret marrying you." Fourteen stepped on the starlight and walked back to the house, and seemed to have great courage, and said, "There is one thing I want to tell you." β
I was carried away by happiness, crooked in his neck, sweet and greasy.
I said casually, "You say." β
Fourteen said slowly: "Do you remember who stabbed you three years ago, the night you were stabbed? I thought about it, and there was only a vague shadow in my mind, and I said: "At that time, Minqiu said that he saw Ailian...", I was afraid that he didn't know who Ailian's was, and explained: "Ailian's slave maid in Wanyan Mansion, but she has long since died, and it must not be her." β
I don't believe in ghosts or gods.
When I got to the door, Fourteen put me down, led me into the house, and asked Minqiu to find the medicinal oil and give me a massage in person. His massage skills are very good, and he used to do this during the three years I was in a coma.
Even Minqiu went back to the lower room to rest, and there were only two of us left in this courtyard. I was curious and asked, "What do you want to tell me?" Fourteen kept his hands on and asked, "Are you comfortable?" I said, "Comfortable." β
Fourteen was silent for a few moments before continuing to speak.
He went from the forty-second year of Kangxi to the forty-fourth year of Kangxi. From the first time we met, to the day I was stabbed at the end. He also talked about Ailian, and how Ailian's life and death appeared in the Tai Hospital.
The most important thing, he said that the person in his heart is Ailian.
At least it used to be the person in his heart.
He confessed like this, spread everything out in front of me, and let me decide.
Forgive him, look up or not.
He sat on the pedals, holding my legs in his arms and pressing gently. His eyes were like an abyss, which he couldn't read before, but now they were as pure as starlight. I asked him, "Do you still have Ai Lian in your heart?" He thought for a moment and said, "No, my guilt for her turned into hatred the moment she stabbed you." β
As I said earlier, Fourteen is a child with a consistent heart, and he treats people and things with sincerity.
So, I believe in Him.
Besides, everything has been turned into a disaster, and there is a false alarm, if I still care, will I not be asking for trouble. As long as he only has me in his heart now, and only me in the future, what does it matter about the past? Looking at his nervous appearance, I laughed out loud from the bottom of my heart and said, "From today onwards, there is no need to mention Ai Lian between you and me. But I have one request. β
Fourteen asked, "What requirements?" β
I leaned over to hold his face, looked into his eyes, and said, "Don't touch any other woman in the future, whether it's your heart or your body, it belongs to Wanyan Rose alone." He didn't say anything, and I said with a straight face: "Do you think it's too much?" β
He suddenly turned around and pressed me down on the couch and smiled ambiguously, "It's not too much. "The house in Jingmingyuan.
