Kangxi made a will, and the fourteenth had to obey. The first man took two guards, took the trail, and walked all the way to the Imperial Garden. The Imperial Garden is dry and cold, and there is thick snow everywhere, and in some places where no one walks, the snow is even waist-deep. The little eunuch on an errand in the imperial garden rushed to him, snorted, and said, "The little fifth son of the slave asks for peace to the fourteenth master." ”

Fourteen looked around and asked, "Where are the squirrels?" Xiao Wuzi said respectfully: "There are about a dozen in the pine forest on the west corner, and the ones raised in front of them are fed by the slaves every day." Fourteen said: "You lead the way, and when the master catches the squirrel, your reward is indispensable." Xiao Wuzi smiled happily, snorted, and led Fourteen to follow the trail.

Hundreds of tall green pines are pressed against the thick snow, and when the wind blows, the accumulated snowflakes drift down a layer. Suddenly, there was a "squeak" sound in the forest, Xiao Wuzi silently pointed to the tree, fourteen senses, gave the guard a look, and the three of them slowly closed under the tree. Fourteen threw out the peanuts given by Kangxi, the squirrel thought it was feeding, poked his head forward, and jumped down the trunk of the tree.

Fourteen eyes were quick, his arms strangled the squirrel, and he took out a command belt from his waist, tied the squirrel's paws tightly, and held it in his arms all the way back to the shooting range. Kangxi rode and shot with the fourth, ninth, and thirteenth masters against the wind, and the sons did not dare to win Lao Tzu or lose to Lao Tzu, so they were a little cramped and restrained. In addition, Kangxi was already in a very bad mood, and after two battles, he lost his interest, and took the youngest thirteenth master and said angrily: "I see that you haven't grown a little bit in your bow and arrow." ”

In front of everyone, the thirteenth master was bored, his face was red for a while, and he said, "Erchen must practice diligently in the future." ”

The fourth master said: "Erchen waited for the arrows all afternoon, and he was a little tired and wanted to take a rest." Kangxi didn't sleep all night, and he only lay down for half an hour in the afternoon, and the cold wind blew all the way, and he pulled the bow and arrow, and he felt tired, so he said: "Very good." Just as he was about to step forward, his eyes suddenly went dark, and he almost fell headlong. Fortunately, the fourth master was close, hugged his arms, and said anxiously: "Huang Ama, what's wrong with you?" Do you want to declare the Imperial Doctor? Kangxi settled down and said, "It's okay, it's just overwork." ”

At one time, Fourteen came over with a squirrel, handed it to the fourth master, and said unceremoniously: "Victory is not martial!" The fourth master had no trouble, and said with a smile: "Luck is also a skill." Kangxi also smiled: "It's still the fourth degree." Then he asked, "How is your daughter-in-law doing?" Fourteen said: "She is very good, she can eat and sleep." As he spoke, he glanced at Thirteen for no reason, and Thirteen happened to look at him, and the two looked at each other, Fourteen smiled contemptuously, but Thirteen was stunned, like a wooden man.

Winter days are short, and soon it will be dark. Everyone dispersed, Li Dequan found a silver wire bird cage out of nowhere, carried Kangxi on his back, and personally delivered it to the fourth master, saying: "Don't dislike it, the one picked up from the slave house is worthless, just for the convenience of the master." The fourth master treated him politely and said with a smile: "It's good, it's hard work." ”

Li Dequan hurriedly said: "The master is so polite, it is really a slave." After a pause, he said intentionally or unintentionally: "There are a lot of things in the Qianqing Palace today, and the emperor is afraid that he will have to stay up all night, so the slave will retire first, lest the emperor call the slave and no one will respond." ”

The fourth master said: "You are the most powerful person around Huang Ama, but you have to persuade Huang Ama a lot, don't be tired of the Holy Body for state affairs, and go to bed as soon as possible." ”

Li Dequan suppressed his voice and said: "The prince is still kneeling in Xinuan Pavilion, how can the emperor sleep?" After that, he smiled again: "The slave really can't be delayed, and the slave retires." The fourth master didn't seem to hear anything, and said calmly: "Go ahead." ”

Returning to Prince Yong's mansion from the palace, the fourth master got off the warm sedan chair, locked the squirrel with the silver wire bird cage given by Li Dequan, and walked all the way to the backyard with the silver hook. From afar, he saw a frail white figure standing by the pool, and asked, "Who is there?" But the figure did not move, as if it had not been heard. The fourth master became suspicious, walked a few steps forward, and when he reached the front, the man turned around and bent his knees and said: "Please forgive me, the slave maid just thought about things and fell into a daze, but I didn't hear the master's voice." As soon as the fourth master saw Ailian, he overflowed with a smile and said, "What are you thinking?" Ai Lian opened her lips slightly and said, "The slave is thinking about the master." ”

With that, his face blushed to the base of his ears and neck.

The fourth master looked at it, and felt very moved, and couldn't help but reach out to cover half of her curvy face, and said, "It's windy by the pool, be careful to scratch your face." It's a pity to hurt such a good-looking face. Ai Lian held her chin in her mouth, her eyes fell on the fourth master's other hand, revealing a somewhat shy expression, and said, "What is this?" The fourth master lifted the silver wire cage, showed it to Ailian, and said, "It's called a squirrel." ”

The squirrel stared at a pair of big black eyes, Ai Lian wanted to touch it, but she didn't dare, and her timid appearance made the fourth master cherish it. "Its claws are tied, don't be afraid," he said. With that, he grabbed her hand and put it on the squirrel's head. Soft and smooth fur with an excellent touch. Ai Lian couldn't put it down and said, "It's really funny." ”

The fourth master said: "If you like it, I'll give it to you." ”

Ai Lian hurriedly withdrew her hand and said quietly: "Master doesn't have to be like this, so as not to make Fang Fujin misunderstand." The fourth master sank his face and said, "What nonsense? Although the Li family is a side blessing, they can't care what the master wants to do. What the master gave you, you just have to take it! Ai Lian was afraid of angering the fourth master, so she hurriedly took the silver wire cage and said, "Thank you for the fourth master's reward." She saw that the squirrel's paws were tied with a bright yellow commanding belt, so she said, "The slave maid has washed the commanding tape and sent it to the master." ”

The fourth master was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "No need, the belt was tied when the old fourteen caught the squirrel, and he won't want it, you can dispose of it yourself." The smile on Ailian's lips was like being frozen by ice, and she murmured, "This squirrel, didn't you catch it?" Su Pei Shengle, who was beside the fourth master, explained: "In the afternoon, the master and the fourteenth master competed with bows and arrows, and the fourteenth master lost, so he caught a squirrel in the imperial garden and gave it to our master..."

In an instant, it was as if the world was spinning and she lost her mind.

Entering the Li family's courtyard, the Li family had already greeted her, and the matter between the fourth master and Ai Lian just now had already been passed on to her. The girl who passed it on didn't say it carefully, only said that the fourth master was carrying a small animal in his hand when he returned home, and after seeing Nian Gege, it was gone. The Li family could naturally guess the entanglement, and everyone in the courtyard said that Nian Gege was gentle and quiet, but she didn't believe it at all.

As soon as the fourth master entered the courtyard, Li lost his temper and leaned sideways on the kang, ignoring him. The fourth master took advantage of the situation and lay behind her, grabbed her chest with one hand, and said with a smile: "What's wrong?" Who you off? Tell the master, and the master will be angry for you. "After Li gave birth to Da Gege, her chest grew a big circle, and after giving birth to Hongshi, she had to use a plain cloth to tie her chest tightly twice, and put on a robe so that there would be no two lumps of meat swinging around on her chest.

Of course, the fourth master still loves these two lumps of meat very much.

Li Shi tore away the fourth master's hand, rolled inside, and said, "You look for Nian Gege, don't look for me." The fourth master suddenly understood that someone must have told the Li family what had just happened, so that she was jealous. The fourth master said patiently: "Good, that little thing is used to grabbing people, and the master is afraid of hurting your hands." Li said: "Don't coax me, I know what you think in your heart." Nian Gege is a few years younger than me, looks better than me, and has never given birth to a child—go find her..."After speaking, two lines of tears fell. The fourth master's backyard has always been peaceful and quiet, and very few people dare to be jealous in front of him.

The affairs of the DPRK were already extremely annoying, and when he returned to the backyard, he had to coax Li's temper, so he walked out without saying a word. When Li heard the footsteps, he was anxious and angry, turned over and got out of the bed and chased out the door, but the figure of the fourth master had disappeared into the twilight.

She stomped lightly under her feet, gritted her teeth and said, "If you want to go, you can go, really..."

As he spoke, he burst into tears again.

Fourteen lost to the fourth master, only to feel uncomfortable, ate late, neither read nor practice, leaned on my shoulder softly, playing with my hair. I held a jade pendant and a golden lock in my hand for the baby, and said: "If you lose, you lose, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, it's not a big deal." Fourteen pouted and said: "If you lose, you lose, and you let Huang Ama bump into it." ”

He felt that he had lost face in front of Kangxi.

I had one hand free, but I patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't think about it, go and finish copying the scriptures I didn't finish writing in the afternoon, and I'll go to the palace in two days to present it to Eniang." Fourteen responded angrily, Minqiu brought paper, ink, pen and inkstone, and placed it on the kang table, he sat cross-legged opposite me, holding a pen in his left hand, and helped me transcribe the scriptures that Concubine De confessed to copy.

After two or three days, the Qianqing Palace did not move at all. The crown prince knelt in the Xinuan Pavilion for two days and two nights, and Tuo Heqi finally just took the blame and resigned, and Kangxi did not pursue it further. Immediately after preparing for the New Year, the harem is still controlled by Concubine De in the six palaces, I can't enter the palace to help when I am pregnant, and Concubine De announced the four blessings into the palace. Hongli lived in Yonghe Palace for almost a year, at first because Sifujin was pregnant and had no time to educate, but after living for a long time, Concubine De was reluctant to let Hongli go.

Even for the sake of Hongli's identity, it should be mentioned that Mangege Jin is a blessing on the side.

Concubine De opened the golden mouth, the four masters and the four blessings did not agree, and took advantage of the Chinese New Year to rebuild the jade, so they officially informed the Zongren Mansion that Mangege would be promoted to the princess of Prince Yong's mansion, and the bounty book was sealed with gold seals, and another palace was built for sleeping. Concubine De gave such a grace, Mangege was grateful, and personally entered the palace to thank Concubine De, and also to meet Hongli.
