The cool sunlight shines sparsely through the windowsills covered with flowers and leaves. The breeze rippled lightly, blowing the orchids on the desk, diffusing the slightest fragrance. I turned my head and saw fourteen long jade figures, standing in the light. He carried the light and shadow on his back, and his expression was a little blurry and hazy, which made me think that I was dreaming. Fourteen approached step by step, came to the front, put his hands on his knees, leaned over to face me, stared at my face vigorously, and said, "What is on your face?" It's ugly. ”

Me: "..."

I said like in a dream, "You're back?" ”

Fourteen raised a mischievous smile and said, "Is it a ghost standing in front of you?" "When I came back to my senses, my joy was overwhelming, and I didn't care about the ointment between my fingers, so I stretched out my arms around the fourteen necks and didn't let go. Because I am seated and fourteen are standing, he must bow over and accommodate me. I couldn't help but cry and whimpered, "Why are you only coming back now?" I miss you so much. ”

If in the era of telephones and computers, it really doesn't matter who you don't see for ten days and a half months. But in the Qing Dynasty, the Fourteenth went so far, and there was no way to contact each other, which is naturally worrying.

Fourteen patted me on the back and said gently, "I've been delayed by things." ”

I already had black ointment on my face, and a cry was equivalent to a pasted eye shadow, and at first glance, it was really ugly. Fourteen's heart quality is really good, even if I am like a ghost, he actually does not dislike it. I cleaned my face again and applied ointment before I dared to come out to meet anyone. Fourteen changed his clothes, took a bath, and sat cross-legged on the kang to transcribe the confiscated ledger. I sat opposite Fourteen with a black pockmarked face, and said, "Am I ugly like this?" ”

Fourteen didn't raise his head, and said, "Ugly." ”

I immediately sneered at each other and said, "You're ugly." ”

Fourteen didn't have time to pay attention to me, he had to sort out the accounts, write excerpts, and then enter the palace to meet Kangxi. So whatever I say, he's just perfunctory. I was too embarrassed to disturb him, so I sat quietly across from him, silently playing nymphomaniac.

After half an hour, Fourteen got up and put on his shoes and said, "I'll go to the palace and talk to you when I come back." ”

I said, "Go and come back quickly." ”

Fourteen asked Zhang Fangfang to put away the folded account book, put on the court clothes, and asked, "Why don't you see Ah Xing?" I put on his official hat, straightened Li Chaozhu, and replied: "I followed Ama Eniang to the house of Lord Niu Colu in the household department to celebrate his birthday." Fourteen nodded, and then instructed: "You tell Amma, you don't go out and move around recently, and the household department is only afraid of a bloody storm." ”

His expression was solemn, and I hurriedly said, "Got it." ”

As soon as I left, I called the cook first. Last time, I saw a dish of shredded pork in Beijing sauce in the imperial dining room, and it tasted very good, and I have been thinking about making it for Fourteen. This is a home-cooked dish for the people of Northeast China, but it is rarely eaten in the palace. Let the chef prepare the sweet noodle sauce and stir-fry it with the marinated pork tenderloin, and add a little sesame oil and sugar to taste. Cut the green onion into long sections, cut it from the middle, take out the heart of the green onion, and lay the bottom with only the thin strips cut into the green onion skin. A plate of thin shredded potatoes was fried and pounced on the second layer as a side dish. On top, the stir-fried, juicy meat sauce is sprinkled on the top.

Shredded pork in Kyoto sauce must be wrapped in fresh bean skin, just like eating gimbap and Korean barbecue. But there was no freshly made tofu in the house, so I hurriedly told the cook to go to the market to buy it. I have to say that the capital is very prosperous, and basically everything you can think of can be bought in the bazaar. Of course, I mean what the Qing Dynasty people could imagine.

At ten o'clock in the night, the fourteenth came back, not to mention that the shredded pork in the Beijing sauce was cold, and even Ah Xing and Amma's heart were cold.

Fourteen came back tired, and Ah Xing was already asleep. Seeing that his face was not good, Ama didn't dare to ask more, so he let Fourteen directly enter the small courtyard with me. I asked, "Are you hungry?" Do you want to eat? Fourteen shook his head and said, "I have eaten in the palace, and the emperor Ama has rewarded the imperial meal." "I hummed, but unfortunately a plate of shredded pork in Beijing sauce that I had worked so hard to make could only be given to the next person to eat.

But I didn't say anything, he was annoyed enough, I couldn't stop him.

After a hasty wash, I served fourteen and rested. With his smell around, it's like taking sleeping pills, and it's easy to fall asleep. When Fourteen spoke to me, I was in a daze. He asked, "What's wrong with your face?" I squinted and said, "I got Chunxiao, and I was a little itchy, so my mother gave me a box of medicine to apply." Fourteen's fingertips were placed on my face and stroked slowly, and said, "I remember that Sister Ten also had a spring festival one year, and she was coated with a layer of white powder and fragrance, why are you so ugly?" ”

I couldn't hold my eyelids open, so I said casually: "What Eniang gave, I will use it." He also said: "I'm so sleepy..."Fourteen sneered: "I rushed back from Huaizhou overnight, wrote an excerpt, and faced the saint, I haven't said sleepy, you look more tired than me." ”

, I cooked in the kitchen all afternoon, didn't you see! Can you not get tired?

I was so sleepy that I couldn't even speak.

In fact, I haven't seen Rose for fourteen and a half months, and I wanted to hug her and kiss her, but every time I wanted to move, all I saw in my eyes was black pockmarks, which was really uninteresting.

Then the lamp was blown out, and the two of them slept separately.

The next morning, when the black pockmarks on Rose's face were pleasing to the eye, Fourteen couldn't help but play with her. No matter what, he is also a young man with strong blood. With her favorite little lady in her arms, her clothes are getting wider, and her snow muscles are slightly exposed, who can bear it?

Rose is dreaming that she and Fourteen are rolling the sheets in the carriage back to Baylor House. The voice of the little girl was still in her ears, the wheels were running forward, a gust of wind blew, the curtain of the car was raised, and she was so frightened that she almost screamed. She moaned unconsciously. With a groan, she opened her eyes in a trance, and saw Fourteen naked half pressed against her neck, gnawing at her breathless.

Fourteen's hands kept rubbing, kneading and pinching, with an intentional taste: "What are you dreaming about?" ”

Such an unbearable dream, Rose would not say it. "I don't remember," she said. Fourteen looked at her with a smile for a while, and the strength of her fingertips suddenly became heavy, and the pain made Rose "ah", like a cry of resentment, touching people's souls. He said, "Don't think that if you don't say it, I won't be able to guess." Rose stretched out her feet to clasp around his waist and pouted, "Whatever you want..."

With that, she kissed him on the lips.

The two of them were in full swing, and the large and firm mahogany bed creaked. Ah Xing woke up at some point, and her small bed was placed next to the big bed, separated only by a six-leaf embroidered screen. The servants knew the battle inside, and no one dared to break in. Ah Xing shouted to Mama, and when he saw that no one answered, he put on his shoes and ran to the big bed, wanting to run to Eniang's bed to be coquettish. She lifted the curtain and was stunned by what she saw.

Yes, I heard her shouting for Grandma and Fourteen, but she was walking so fast that we couldn't finish it all so properly. So when she appeared, Fourteen was kneeling right in the middle of me. Fortunately, the quilt in early spring was thick and abundant, and I was tightly covered by the fourteenth, and I wrapped a bed coat on my body.

I hid under the covers, and I couldn't see anyone.

Ah Xing said happily: "Amma, when did you come back?" How did I not know. ”

Fourteen had beads of sweat on his forehead and said, "When Amma came back last night, you were already asleep. After a pause, he said, "Can you help Ama find a fan on the case?" Amma is so hot. Ah Xing had already taken off half of his shoes, and was about to come up to the couch, and after listening to the words of Fourteen, he obediently stepped back and said, "Okay." As soon as Ah Xing left, Fourteen hurriedly rolled out of my body and shouted out: "Minqiu, take Ah Xing and wash up." ”

Minqiu answered in the hall and went into the house to coax Ah Xing to leave.

I couldn't help but tremble with laughter, slapped the quilt on the fourteen-one, and said, "You still dare to laugh? I burst into tears and said, "You are self-inflicted, I can't laugh anymore?" Fourteen threw himself at me and said, "If you dare to laugh, I will..." Because she was going to wash, she threw no more herself on the couch. She said cutely, "If it's cold, open up the quilt and let the wind in." ”

After saying that, he ran away again.

Fourteen turned his face, saw that I was still smiling, made a gesture to pull the quilt, and learned to wake up: "Do you want to open the quilt a little bit and let the wind in?" I kicked him, laughed so hard that my stomach hurt, and said, "It's you hot, I'm not hot...", "You're really not hot, let me check if I'm sweating..."

Kangxi gave Fourteen two days off to let him rest well.

The whole family had breakfast in harmony, and I and Fourteen went to the compound to say goodbye to the old lady, and at noon we took the carriage back to the Fourteenth Baylor House. With black pockmarks on my face, I thought, for no reason, the spring dream I had in the morning, and then I saw Fourteen riding a horse beside the car, and when I saw him, he smiled at me, and blushed in shame.

When I returned to the West Courtyard, I didn't have time to drink the water, and the Qin Steward of the outer courtyard rushed over and said, "Master Qi, the good concubine of the harem has died, and the Lord Long Live has set up a spirit for Chuxiu Palace, and announced that the master has entered the palace." ”

Concubine Liang is the eighth master's mother-in-law, and she didn't dare to delay for a while, so she changed into elegant clothes and took me into the palace. I washed the ointment off my face, and it was better to be itchy and red than pockmarked on my face. The funeral was still handled by Concubine De, and I and the fourth master's side Fujin Li were on the side. The eighth master and the eighth blessing jin took the concubines and concubines to cry in the hall, and Kangxi pointed to the ninth master, the tenth master, the twelfth master, the thirteenth master, and the fourteenth master Dai Xiao. And Kangxi himself, when he heard the news of Concubine Liang's death when he was discussing state affairs with the crown prince, he was stunned at first, and then spit out a mouthful of blood with a "wow" sound.
