Li bent down under the tree to talk to Da Gege, who was twisting a handkerchief in his hand, kicking his flowerpot shoes in the snow, his eyebrows furrowed, and he seemed to be extremely unhappy. The Li family was about to be comforted, and there was a rumor from the grandmother for a while: "Master, the fourth master has returned home." When the words fell, the voice of the fourth master had already reached his ears, and he said, "Why don't you go into the house?" When Da Gege heard this, he looked at the fourth master with a wrinkled face, and said, "Ama Wanfu." Li said: "You go back first, E-Niang will tell Amma, don't worry." ”

Da Gege nodded, bent his knees at the two of them again, and retreated.

The fourth master changed his clothes in the house, ate tea, and rested for a while before asking, "What's wrong with Da Gege?" I saw that her face was not good. Li knelt on the kang, beat the back for the fourth master, and said: "Today, she went to the Ninth Master's Mansion, and heard Qing Gege in the mansion say that the emperor intends to choose a place from the emperor's granddaughter to marry in Mongolia, and she is very worried. He sighed again: "The emperor's own daughters are married far away, the big ones think about the country and the family, and the small ones think - who wants to?" ”

The fourth master has also heard about this in the Qianqing Palace, but Kangxi has not yet made an order, and no one knows which Gege he will refer to.

Looking at it, there are not many princes in the mansion who have reached the age of marriage. There are only three grids in the palace of the emperor, the big grid and two grids on the fifth master's mansion, the big grid, two grids, and five grids on the seventh master's mansion, and the big grid and two grids on the ninth master's mansion. Coupled with the big Gege of the Fourth Master's Mansion, there are only nine in total. The children of the royal family got married early, and they had to listen to the emperor's arrangement, but they were not more comfortable than ordinary people. When the older granddaughters get together, they inevitably talk about marriage.

In the morning, Gege was drinking tea in the Nine Masters' Mansion, and I don't know who mentioned that he was going to Mongolia for marriage, and one stone stirred up a thousand waves, making everyone tremble. Back in the house, Da Gege almost ran to the side courtyard and cried to the Li family for most of the afternoon.

The fourth master knew that the Li family was reluctant, and said: "When the master ponders for a few days, he must always think of ways to keep Da Gege." ”

Li has always believed in the words of the fourth master, no matter what he says, as long as he opens his mouth, he will do it, and there has never been a time to lose his words. She smiled happily and said, "Da Gege has been fifteen years old since the sixth day of the seventh month, and after you allowed her to leave the house freely, her heart fell outside. I guess who I'm looking for..."

The fourth master held the hand on his shoulder and said softly: "This can't be nonsense, the marriage of children is decided by the parents, and she is the granddaughter of the emperor, how can she socialize with men outside at will." In my opinion, you have to take care of it, tomorrow, you can watch her for the time being, don't let her run around. When the matter of Huang Amma's marriage is settled, I will think of finding a suitable husband in Beijing for her. ”

Li Shi belched, hunched over and snuggled on the back of the fourth master, and said, "I will count on the master in my life." ”

The fourth master touched her cheek with his backhand, and said softly: "The master knows, as long as the master is still there, he will definitely not let you and the child be wronged." ”

Night covered the heavens and the earth, and the house was lit with a light and fire, and clusters jumped and flickered in the air. The earth dragon burned hot, warm, baked half a person-high begonia flowers, pink and white clusters, fragmented petals fell with the wind, and fell to the ground red.

Fourteen recently proud, crossed Erlang's legs on the recliner to play with Kangxi's snuffbox, I sat on the side stool to embroider the baby's shoes and socks, although the embroidery is not good, but the mother's heart is overflowing, can not be stopped. I deliberately said: "Snuff is particularly bad, the smoke inhaled into the stomach will smoke people into bacon." Fourteen said leisurely: "Ye didn't want to suck it, Ye was thinking, such a good thing is rewarded by Huang Ama, who should I give it to?" Starling and Ninth Brother are afraid that they all want it. ”

I pinched up a red thread, compared the warp and weft, picked the needle, stopped the work in my hand, raised my head and said solemnly: "In my opinion, you can either give it to Eniang or the fourth master." ”

Fourteen glanced at me, and said, "E-Niang has so much to go there, how can it be rare?" ”

I said, "Then you give it to the fourth master." ”

Fourteen put down Erlang's legs, straightened up and said, "Why do you think that you are thinking about the fourth brother everywhere, the wine will be sent to the fourth brother, and the snuffbox will also be sent to the fourth brother." I said: "First, the fourth master is your own brother, if anything really happens in the future, it is not your own brother who can be relied on?" Second, you see that after I became pregnant, only Sifujin came to the house to see me in person. With these two points, you should give him a gift, and you should return the gift. Fourteen said: "What is my brother, the ninth brother is also my brother." I taught, "How can it be the same? The fourth master and you are the same emperor and the same mother, and when the fourth master becomes the emperor...", I almost leaked my mouth, but fortunately I reacted quickly, and hurriedly changed the conversation and said: "After the fourth master became the prince, the limelight was in full swing, and it is always good for you to be polite to him." ”

Fourteen didn't want to be on the same topic as me, so he suddenly talked about the side and said, "You're pregnant, don't be too tired." I held up a small tiger head shoe that had been finished to show him and smiled, "Isn't it cute?" Fourteen spread out his palm to catch it, looked at the little thing smaller than a quarter of his palm, showed a happy smile, and said, "Well, cute." He stretched out his arm and said to me, "Come here." ”

I muffled, "What are you doing?" Wait until I'm done embroidering this tiger's eye..."

Fourteen got up, bent over and hugged my neck, his warm and broad chest pressed against my back, and he rubbed his stubbled chin against my neck, like a cat. I was amused and said, "What's the matter?" He muttered in a nasal voice: "I made shoes for the baby tiger, and I made a pair for the tiger Amma." I was a little embarrassed and said, "I haven't made shoes that adults wear, and you have to face the saint and move around, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it well." Fourteen stretched out his hand all the way down, rubbed his palm on his waist, and said, "It's okay, as long as you do it, I don't dislike it." ”

I was a little itchy, my body twisted, my fingertips suddenly tingled, I screamed, and then I saw a bean-sized blood coming out of my index finger. Fourteen snatched the needle and thread, threw it in the basket, and pinched my bleeding place with his thumb. His face was calm, and he didn't panic at all, I was slightly unhappy, the male protagonists of the TV series sucked directly into their mouths, fourteen, you are too ungentlemanly.

I said, "Aren't you worried?" ”

Fourteen faces were sluggish, and said, "What are you worried about?" ”

My voice was raised three degrees, and I raised my fingers wrapped around the handkerchief, and said, "I'm hurt!" Fourteen was stunned, smiled suddenly, and said, "You can also be called injured?" It's not a skin open! When I fought with people, I often glared at him with murderous eyes and yelled, "I am a woman! You're a man! Women are naturally weaker than men, and men are born to protect women, and for me, being pricked with an embroidery needle in front of a beloved is just like ... It hurts as much as if you were struck by lightning under a tree! ”

Can you survive being struck by lightning? Fourteen didn't understand it again.

Fourteen shouted outside the house, "Minqiu." Min Qiu Ma Li lifted the curtain and came in, and Fu said, "What does the master command?" I didn't know what I meant, and asked, "What do you tell Minqiu to do?" "Fourteen Dao: "The master asked Minqiu to go to the Taoist temple to invite a few Taoist priests who subdued demons..."Seeing that I was puzzled, he continued: "Aren't you struck by lightning?" "At that time, being struck by lightning was no less than being hit by evil.

I... I... I, I, I, I

I was so angry and angry that I stomped on the fourteenth foot and slammed it twice before I walked away with my stomach up. When I entered the dormitory, Fourteen followed, hugged me on my knees, and said, "Master knows, don't be angry." I pouted and said, "You know what?" Fourteen thought for a while and said, "If you are pricked by a needle, you must be so worried when you are struck by lightning." I saw that he probably understood my thoughts, and couldn't help but say, "You were just struck by lightning..."

Fourteen put me on the couch, helped me change my bedclothes, and asked, "Does my hand still hurt?" ”

I shook my head and said, "It doesn't hurt anymore." ”

He asked, "Are you tired?" ”

I said, "I'm not tired." ”

He leaned over and kissed me on the center of my brow, his lips cold, like a bouncy jelly.

I couldn't help but say, "I want to...", so Fourteen kissed the tip of my nose again, and I was still not satisfied, and pointed to my lips and said, "And here." "Fourteen good-natured kisses on my lips, dragonfly kisses are the most sultry. He raised his head and said, "That's enough, it's almost ten o'clock, it's time to sleep, and the baby should sleep too." He lifted the quilt, hugged my legs on the couch, and said, "Go and change your clothes." ”

The light in the bedroom was dim, and I hid under the covers and watched as he casually took his bedding from the truss and stood behind the screen to widen his clothes. After a while, he came in a moon-white bedgown and got into the quilt next to me, he turned over, put his hand lightly on my shoulder, closed his eyes, and breathed shallowly. Actually, I still want to talk to him for a while, but I think he will get up at three or four o'clock tomorrow, and I can't bear to disturb his sleep. His warm breath hit my cheeks, with a mint scent of mouthwash. He was taller and stronger than when I first met, and he had more heroism as a man. The childishness in him slowly faded and became more mature and sophisticated.

But even so, his heart is still so pure.

It was so pure that it seemed to be outside the nine sons to win the heir, so pure that it seemed that there was no fight in the world at all. At this time, the fourth master and the eighth master should be actively planning, although the fourteenth gets along with them every day, they don't know the political situation at all. He was distracted, and soon fell asleep, and the force on my shoulder became lighter and lighter, and I squeezed into his arms, and closed my eyes and fell asleep.

Fourteen days before dawn got up and entered the palace, Zilan was earlier than him, and almost only slept for two hours in one night. Zhang Fangfang was playing lanterns in front of her, the moon in the winter night was hanging obliquely on the treetops, and she walked to the gate of the mansion in fourteen strides and shouted: "Anan, lead the horse!" Zilan had been waiting for half an hour on the side, she rubbed her hands, her face was red from the cold, she responded excitedly, grabbed the reins and stepped forward, snorted, and said, "Say hello to the master." She knelt down so that Fourteen could step on her back and mount her horse.
