Things always can't go in the direction I expected, the prince was deposed, the eighth master fell into favor, and the fourth master took retreat as advance, and pushed the fourteenth to the cusp of the storm for a while. Kangxi began to teach Fourteen to deal with political affairs hand-in-hand, and Fourteen was studious and enjoyed it.

Sometimes when he came home in the middle of the night, I leaned on the kang and pretended to be asleep, but in fact, several times I wanted to open my eyes and ask him - do you also want to be a prince?! But I didn't dare to speak.

I learned history in a mess, and the only context I knew was that the fourth master ascended the throne and the fourteenth was imprisoned. What should I do if I knew that Fourteen really meant to be the crown prince? Persuade him to dispel his thoughts? No, I can't. Or should I give him a hand? But with my unsociable nature, how can I help him, and besides, how can he let me help?

I didn't want to defy the tide of history, I just didn't want Fourteen to get hurt.

Fourteen climbed to the bed, and in the past few months, we have seen each other very rarely, in the middle of the night. I closed my eyes and deliberately turned my back to him, but my heart was always entangled in whether I should talk to him openly and honestly. The early spring was warm and cold, and he came through the cool dew, with a trace of bleakness and coldness on his body. He hugged my waist from behind, breathed warmly around my neck, and said, "Why haven't you fallen asleep yet?" I said, "I'm asleep." After finishing speaking, he laughed first.

I turned around, and there were two small oil lamps the size of beans lit in the room, and the faint light was like a faint mist through the green gauze tent, and his face was in the shadow of the light, dim, and it was impossible to see his expression. I said, "Are you tired?" He stretched out his hand and stroked the fine strands of hair on my neck, and said, "When I was looking at the excerpts in the palace, my brain was so swollen that I thought that if there was a bed in front of me, I would definitely not care about anything, and I would have a good night's sleep first." But when I get home, when I see you, I don't want to sleep anymore and I want to talk to you more. ”

His lips kissed me lightly on the forehead, the tip of my nose, and finally intertwined with my lips and teeth.

But it was only for kisses, and he was so tired.

Fourteen dragged me into his arms and said, "The court is complicated, I can't accompany you as often as before, if you are bored, go out and walk around more." I snuggled up to him and asked, "Why are you so busy?" Huang Ama should let the eighth master and the ninth master share more. Fourteen patted me softly on the back and said with a smile: "You don't need to ask about the affairs of the court, and you don't have to understand." After a pause, he said, "Brother Starling and Brother Nine are naturally helping me share the burden." ”

I know that in the past, everyone was around the eighth master, but now everyone is around the fourteenth.

I couldn't find out, and I couldn't pretend to be stupid, so I said, "I don't want glory and wealth, I just want you to be safe." If you are the Fourteenth Belle Master, I will be the Fourteenth Blessing. If you were just a country man, I would also like to be a coarse cloth peasant woman. Whether it is Beijing, Jiangnan, Yang, or a small mountain village, I will follow you. After a pause, he said, "So, I don't want you to do anything dangerous, I just want you to be safe." Fourteen pinched my nose and smiled, "What's wrong today, my mouth looks like honey." ”

Well, I said it too subtlely, how can he understand a rough man with a tendon?

He talked about the side again, and said: "The day after tomorrow is Uncle Tong's 70th birthday, and you will accompany me then." "Uncle Tong Guo is talking about Tong Guowei, that is, Kangxi's own uncle and uncle, and now Tong Guifei in the harem and the late Empress Xiaoyi's pro-Amma.

The status and power are self-evident, not to mention, this person used to be a supporter of the Eighth Master.

I said, "There must be a lot of people, and there must be a lot of people everywhere, and you have to hold a shelf, it's really tiring and panicking." Fourteen good-natured coaxed me and said, "You go and show your face, and take you back to the house immediately after worshipping Shouye." I reluctantly reluctantly said, "Well, you must take me away earlier, I don't want to eat outside, I can't eat enough, and it's all cold dishes and cold rice." ”

I've seen a lot of big occasions, and it seems to be full of flowers, but in fact, the taste is far less delicious than the food at home. Over the years, my taste can be regarded as a nourishment, and sometimes I even dislike the things of Yonghe Palace, let alone the "big pot rice" of people outside!

Fourteen agreed again and again, and said with a smile: "Master will listen to you." ”

On the day of Tong Da's birthday, I still slept until I woke up naturally, and it was rare that I didn't enter the palace at fourteen, and I sat in the study while reading the paperwork and waiting for me. I put on the gown I wore for the festival, combed my hair high, put on my flag head, and hung gold and silver jewelry, pearls and jade pendants on my body. Coupled with a pair of flower pot shoes, it immediately looks dignified and graceful.

The fourteen patrols are all big battles, not to mention the birthday greetings, and more and more attention is paid to pomp. The two of us sat in a big soft sedan chair with a silver top and a yellow cover and red silk carried by dozens of people, with guards in front of the road, and a eunuch girl who traveled a hundred meters behind, fortunately I didn't meet the eighth master, the ninth master or other princes on the road, otherwise, we really had to "jam the traffic".

Someone has already passed the word, Tong Guowei personally greeted him at the door, although in the concept of Kangxi and Fourteen, we are masters and others are slaves, but Tong Guowei is our uncle and grandfather, and I and Fourteen still respect him very much. After we saluted, Tong Guowei returned the salute, and after a lot of red tape, a group of people hugged each other and walked to the hall.

The Tong family's Fujin, daughter-in-law, granddaughter and the like welcomed me into the backyard, and they were submissive, for fear of offending me. And because I was wearing too much clothing and too much jewelry, I couldn't straighten my neck and felt uncomfortable panting, so I didn't have the heart to take care of them. It's just a smile with a vague smile, sometimes nodding, sometimes humming, and other times silent.

One of the advantages of standing on a high place is that whatever you do, you are right. Your every cheek, every word, every action and every look will be infinitely magnified, for example, I glanced at the Fujin table casually, and someone immediately brought the dim sum on the Fujin table to me. I twisted my body, and someone brought me a soft pillow to use as a cushion.

There must have been a lot of ministers who came to congratulate Tong Guowei on his birthday, and there were also many wives and wives who visited, but Tong Guowei's Fujin and his two concubines had been talking to me in the house, and no matter who came outside, they only let the side Fujin and his daughters-in-law go to greet him. I don't like to be accompanied, and I wish I was the only one to do whatever I wanted. Besides, the Tong family's house is not as good as Baylor House, and my flower hall and rooms are all repaired with large glass windows, which are breathable and bright. But the hall of the Tong family only has a few small windows, and the tulle is closed, and there are magnificent large screens on the four sides, and people who are not used to living will feel that they can't breathe.

Fujin is worthy of being Fujin, when he saw that my face was tired, he knew that he was tired, and said with a smile: "Our family has also repaired the garden, although it is not as good as Baylor's, but the trees and flowers are still exquisitely cultivated, otherwise let the concubine accompany you to the garden for a walk?" ”

I hurriedly said, "Okay." ”

When I went out, I could hear the noise from a distance, but the surroundings were quiet, so it could be seen that Tong Fujin deliberately separated the courtyard for me to rest. There were several girls standing under the corridor, and when they saw me, they all bent their knees, and they didn't even dare to raise their eyelids. I took a few deep breaths, and I came back to life. It's not Minqiu who goes out with me today, it's Bai Zhi, the girl in the clothes, she doesn't understand my mind like Minqiu, if I don't tell me, she will always just follow silently. Fujin even took Bai Zhi into account, and specially instructed the two girls to listen to Bai Zhi's dispatch. I walked into the garden, thinking about the time to go home.

Walking and walking, suddenly there was a clang, but after a while, a girl turned out from behind the rockery, bent her knees, and whispered a few words to Tong Fujin's ear, Tong Fujin's face changed, and he stepped forward and said: "It's really a sin to disturb the fourteenth Fujin, the concubine went over to deal with it." I couldn't ask for it, and said, "Go, I'll sit down in the pavilion." ”

Tong Fujin led a few girls to go, and only let her two daughters accompany me. Her daughter is much older than me, with a deferential face, and her eyebrows are somewhat similar to Kangxi. If it were ordinary people, I would call them an aunt, Cheng Huan, where can I let the elders serve the juniors like now.

Seeing me sitting in the pavilion to rest, they didn't dare to sit down, and stood behind them in a proper manner.

After a while, a group of people came talking and laughing lively, they were all wearing high-grade clothes, wearing heavy makeup, and the corners of their eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles. A woman said: "It's good that we didn't choose a show girl when we entered the palace, we married well, and those who chose a show girl, I know a few, and they haven't married yet after leaving the palace." After a burst of smack, it was really unfortunate that I heard Wang Taoxin's voice say: "I bumped into the young lady of Wanyan Mansion before, and when I was not married, I often walked around Wanyan Mansion and almost married her brother." Do you know that she actually married a scrivener in the household department, and took her daughter to wander around the streets, even saving money to buy clothes, and I heard her daughter say that she never bought anything to eat outside..."

The gossip of a woman is: the description is forever separated from the facts, and everything is for sensational effect.

Someone on the side asked, "Which Miss Wanyan are you talking about?" ”

Wang Taoxin had just returned to Beijing and wanted to quickly establish a good relationship with the ladies in the capital, so she did not hesitate to use me as a gimmick, she said: "Which one else?" It's the second grade of the Criminal Department, and the second grade of the mansion is Wanyan Luocha, and her brother is the fourth master's haha beads..."

The bystander said: "How do I remember that Lord Wanyan's concubine married the fourteenth Belle master?" Could it be that Lord Wanyan has more than one daughter? If you want to say that the scene of the fourteenth Baylor getting married back then, it can be regarded as an empty alley..."

Wang Taoxin was puzzled, she said: "I remember that Lord Wanyan only has one daughter, so the baby is very good..." She didn't feel guilty at all, and said to everyone: "She is the daughter of Lord Wanyan..."

Some of the women had seen me, and when they saw my clothes, they hurriedly gave Wang Taoxin a look, but Wang Taoxin didn't appreciate it, and smiled at the women, and said, "What are you doing squeezing your eyes at me?" ”
