Although Hongfu's body is dirty, her face is quite clean, her smooth forehead is round and fair, the tip of her nose is straight, and her eyes are like a cut of autumn water, shining. She folded her hands on her abdomen, lowered her face, and said respectfully: "Lord Xie cares, the slave maid has a change of clothes in the tea room, and there are many things in the backyard, so the slave and maid will retire first." ”

Li Dequan wasn't sure if she really didn't understand or pretended not to understand, so he said with a smile: "Miss Hongfu doesn't have to go to the tea room, is it okay to be on an errand in the imperial tea room in the future?" Hongfu looked up in disbelief, looked at Li Dequan for a while, and then said lightly: "The slave is a slave who weaves the life of an adult, and everything is involuntarily, and you need to listen to the master's dispatch." ”

Her tone was indifferent, and she seemed a little unhappy.

Li Dequan said: "Don't worry, the weaving master will naturally agree." Listen to me. At this point, Hongfu was blessed and said, "Yes." Li Dequan made a look, and the aunt of the imperial front stepped forward and led Hongfu to the main courtyard.

Kangxi originally came to Shi to take a lunch break in the house, but at this moment he was sitting by the kang and was silent. Shi Changzai took a white magnolia Xiang embroidered pillow with a blue background, gently placed it behind Kangxi's back, and said, "Does the emperor want a wide coat?" Kangxi turned his face away, and smiled as gently as before: "I suddenly remembered that I hadn't done anything, so I left after drinking this tea." ”

Shi Changzai said: "The emperor should take care of the Holy Body." ”

Kangxi had already gotten up and said, "I'm fine, you don't have to worry about it." He strode out, Shi Changzai didn't dare to persuade again, and sent him to the gate of the courtyard before returning to the house. She has been favored for more than a year, almost every day and night with the emperor, but even so, she still can't understand the emperor, sometimes, she even feels that he is far away from herself, even if he is still a stranger when he is on a blind date.

The girl in charge carried a bamboo basket of loquat into the house, and said: "Master, you see, all the good loquat has been broken by the cheap maid in the tea room..." For the sake of a little loquat, he quarreled with the subordinates of the weaving house, and what kind of system did it become? Do you have to let the ministers think that the stones in the palace are often pampered and arrogant, and make things difficult for the subordinates of the weaving mansion everywhere? "The girl in charge is used to being arrogant, and she has never been scolded by Shi Chang, but now she was suddenly trained, her eyes suddenly turned red, and she was secretly resentful in her heart.

Kangxi walked back and forth, felt a little hot, sat in front of the Qingyu case, unscrewed the dragon pattern button under his neck, and shouted: "Come on, serve cold tea." After a while, Yuebai's figure came, silently holding the teacup in front of Kangxi. Kangxi didn't pay attention at first, and drank two sips of tea, and the tip of his tongue felt slightly sweet and sour, which quenched his thirst. After looking at it again, I saw that the person serving the tea was the little girl I had seen in Shi Chang's courtyard before. Kangxi asked, "Why are you here?" ”

Hongfu had never been on an errand in front of the emperor, holding the teacup in both hands and trembling slightly, and said nervously: "It was Gonggong Li who asked the slave to come, and the slave and maid will leave." She looked flustered, like a fawn being chased by a hunter.

Kangxi put his hand on the back of her hand and said with a smile: "You don't have to be nervous, don't be afraid." "Hongfu came out of the womb, and she had never touched the man's skin for eighteen years, and she trembled more and more, and she couldn't even hold the teacup.

Kangxi rarely raised his eyebrows and smiled, let go of his hand, and said, "Go down." ”

Hongfu was relieved and bowed to retire.

In a moment, the people of the entire weaving mansion knew that Hongfu was selected to be on an errand in front of the palace. Hongfu went down to the room to clean up the bed, and Xiao Dumpling hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Sister Hongfu, they all said that you flew on the branches, is it true?" "Hongfu has very few things, three or five clothes, two pairs of shoes, and the only thing of value is a wooden hairpin that her mother passed to her before she died, but in fact, the wooden hairpin is not worth much. She has nothing, lives alone in the world.

Hongfu said: "What flew on the branches? It's still a matter of tea, it's nothing more than a change to the imperial tea room. ”

Xiao Dumpling sat down on the bed board and said, "I really envy you, you can follow the emperor to the capital." Hongfu was still as light as paper, and said, "What's so good about the capital?" The rules of entering the palace are even bigger, and it is really boring to say that you can't do it. Xiao Dumpling smiled and said, "How can it be boring?" You see what Shi often eats, wears and lives, which one is not good? Even the slaves and maids in the palace are more elaborately dressed than the ladies in our house, and when you arrive in the palace, you will definitely become as polite and rich as the aunt in charge. ”

Hongfu said: "Rich? It's just a minion, how can you talk about wealth? Looking at Xiao Dumpling's fascinated appearance, Hongfu didn't bother to argue anymore, wrapped her clothes, shoes and socks in a big gray cloth, and went to the main courtyard in her arms.

Li Dequan thought carefully and made room for Hongfu alone, which was decorated with rules and regulations, and there was a soft couch with green gauze flowers, which was the best room Hongfu had ever lived in in her life. Hongfu didn't know why, thinking that the people who served in front of the emperor were treated like this, and she didn't even ask, taking it for granted.

Since Hongfu was transferred to the imperial front on an errand, Kangxi has never been to the backyard.

A few people agreed to sit in Shi Chang and do homework in the house, and a Han man surnamed Lin agreed, saying: "I heard that the emperor has been staying alone in the main courtyard for ten days in a row, is something wrong?" Another Manchu surnamed Wu agreed: "Don't talk nonsense, what a big deal is the violation of the Holy Bow, how can there be no movement at all?" After a pause, he lowered his voice and said: "The emperor is old, and the things in the room are naturally not as good as before, so what's the fuss?" "These promises are very young, they have only entered the palace in the past two years, they love to chirp, and when it comes to right and wrong, even Kangxi will not let go. Shi Chang listened to the annoyance, and said, "I'm tired, you all go back." ”

A few promised to get up and leave with a smile.

The girl in charge often rubbed her temples lightly and heavily, and the sun was white and mottled into the house. Shi Changzai said: "You go and inquire, but there is someone in front of the emperor?" The girl in charge said: "The slave maid has inquired, and the person in front of the palace has the tightest mouth and refuses to say anything. However, there are rumors in the backyard teahouse that the cheap maid named Hongfu has been transferred to the imperial tea room as an errand. ”

Shi Changzai's eyes opened suddenly, and the long armor scraped against the stool hand, making a high-pitched and piercing sound.

Hongfu was on duty in front of the emperor for half a month, and Kangxi would talk to her every day. Hongfu had never read a book and didn't know how to write and ink, so Kangxi taught her to learn "big and small, up and down the world" and the like. The blue and white cloud crane and the pegasus pattern with the lid of the three-legged tripod are burning dragon incense, and the rich flavor is scattered all over the house. On the table, there is a carved lacquered begonia fancy pot persimmon bonsai, and the beast ear gossip copper kettle next to it drips sand and the sofa makes a slight sound. Hongfu held the pen, her fingertips trembled, but she didn't dare to fall, because she had wasted dozens of good rice paper.

Kangxi gently encouraged: "You must practice, you must memorize, in order to learn to write." ”

Hongfu once helped the ladies in the palace to buy white paper at the bazaar, and knew that a piece of paper would cost several pennies, not to mention the imperial tribute rice paper used by the emperor. She looked at the half basket of waste paper in the basket, finally put down the pen, knelt down and said: "Slaves and maids are born lowly, and they dare not waste the emperor's imperial paper, and slaves and maids do not want to learn calligraphy." Kangxi froze for a moment, then reached out to help her up, put the pen in her palm again, and said, "Now no one dares to say that you are low, I promise." He looked at her, as if looking at another person in her eyes, and said, "From now on, I will be your identity." He walked behind her, wrapped his arms around her, took her hand and pinched the end of the pen, and the ink dripped on the rice paper, and he taught her to write two words with that drop of ink.

One word is red, and the other word is Fu.

He said, "That's your name." ”

Hongfu had never seen her name, she exhaled softly, with some inexplicable joy, and looked left and right in her hand. She understood every word and every word of the emperor's words, but she pretended not to understand. Whether she wanted to or not, whether she wanted to or not, no one would ask her opinion. She was born a slave and lived after the death of her parents.

She didn't care, just a few more years to live.

After living in Suzhou for more than three months, seeing that the rose was about to give birth, the fourteenth was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and the group turned straight away. On May 28th, the royal car finally set off, hurried and hurried, walked for almost a month, and arrived in the capital at the end of June.

And Rose had already given birth to a baby boy on the sixth day of the sixth month of June.

Kangxi named his grandson Hongming.

When she returned home on the fourteenth, Rose was still in confinement and couldn't go out to greet her. The fourteenth didn't even go to Concubine De, followed the royal car into the capital, and went back to the house directly. Rose sat in the doorway dressed and watched, and Rose was worried that she would be blown away by the wind, and even the doors and windows inside and outside the hall were tightly closed, and Rose could only look out through the glass windows.

Rose got up before dawn and waited until it was dark. She was so tired that she fell asleep on the pear blossom rattan chair. Fourteen got off the horse and broke into the west courtyard, and the people below didn't have time to pass the word, he had already entered the Rose Bedroom. Min Qiu moved a small pestle and sat at the feet of Rose to play tape, smelling the movement, when she looked up, she saw Fourteen close in front of her, she was startled, thinking that she was dreaming. Fourteen gestured for her not to speak. He quietly walked up to Rose and said to himself, "Little thing, I'm finally reunited with you." He crouched down and stared at her face, wanting to touch it, wanting to kiss it, but he was afraid to disturb her sweet dreams.

After some time, Rose finally opened her eyes, but immediately closed them. Then she pulled her eyelids again, looked at him, and closed them again. Then he tugged at his eyelids and continued to close them. After three rounds of this, she stretched out her arm and muttered, "Hug." Fourteen leaned down and hugged her, and Rose lay down on his back, saying, "I've been waiting for you for a day." ”

Fourteen: "I know, leave me alone, you can continue to sleep." ”

Rose put it on Fourteen's body with peace of mind, and said lazily in his ear: "You go and see Hongming, he looks like you." Fourteen hummed, picked her up horizontally, put her on the couch, leaned on the pedal and looked at it for a long time, then got up to change clothes and bathe, and then let Mama hug Hongming to see.
