Chapter 215: Ah Xing and Ji Lantai's private meeting
Chapter 215: Ah Xing and Ji Lantai's private meeting Because after the meal, the tea room was quiet, and only a few palace maids on duty hid behind the door and whispered and gossiped.
Ji Lantai lived in the Qianqing Palace for a few days, and he was the emperor's grandson, and everyone did not dare to slack off, and when they saw him enter the house, they hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Does the prince have any orders?" Ji Lantai was calm and calm, and said, "I'm thirsty, pour a bowl of cold tea." The palace maid wondered, if you want to drink water and let the eunuch pass it on, why should she come here in person?
Although he was puzzled in his heart, he didn't dare to say more, so he hurriedly turned around and took a small cup, poured fragrant tea from the white jade sheep head beam pot, and bowed down to hand it to Ji Lantai.
Gillantay threw himself on his back, did not speak, and walked out. Ah Xing stood at the corner of the porch and said, "Why are you doing this?" Ji Lantai walked slowly, and when he saw that there was no one around, Fang said: "My mother said that if you can avoid doing things in the palace, you don't have to publicize it." His words were half skeptical, it stands to reason that this is the Qianqing Palace, which is the most powerful place in the Forbidden City, and besides, she and the Jilan Titan are frank, the two are cousins, even if they are close, there is nothing strange.
Ah Xing said: "Who else do you want to avoid when you see me?" Ji Lantai smiled, revealing her white teeth, and suddenly reached out to touch her forehead, patted it gently, and said, "It will not be wrong to listen to Eniang." He added: "I know that there is a secluded place, and there are not many people walking around, so let's go there and talk for a while?" "He is gentle and mellow, very different from when he was a child.
Ah Xing's forehead felt the temperature of his palm, and there was a bang in his head, and even the pulse seemed to be half a beat slower, Mu Mu said: "Okay." Ji Lantai smiled again, but he had no scruples, took Ah Xing's hand like when he was a child, and said: "The weeds here have grown, there is no road, I will lead you away." "The sky was as blue as a piece of fine blue satin, smooth and smooth, and the sky was blue.
Ah Xing silently followed Ji Lantai, and the weeds around him were desolate, which could drown the top of his head. She has been to the Qianqing Palace several times, but she never knew that there was such a place in the emperor's bedroom.
After passing through a wasteland, I saw several clusters of emerald green bamboo, and when I turned to the back of the bamboo, I saw a small pavilion.
Ah Xing looked up and saw a couplet hanging on the pillar, which was written
"There are a lot of bells and voices, and there are quiet women." The couplets in the Qianqing Palace have always been to urge the emperor to be diligent, or to train the ancestors, and I have never seen a sentence like this with a little girl's feelings.
Ji Lantai climbed the steps, blew off the bamboo leaves on the stone bench, took out a handkerchief and carefully laid it, and said, "Do you want to sit?" Ah Xing's cheeks were hot, not at all as big as before, and suddenly became demure and ladylike, and said softly: "Thank you." She was wearing flowerpot shoes, and she was really tired all the way, and said: "Do you want to pad your stool, I have a veil here" Before she finished speaking, Ji Lantai had already blown away the bamboo leaves on the stone bench next to her, and sat down definitely, and said: "I don't have to, Jin Se said, the girl's house is the most unbearable." Ah Xing paused, listening to his tone, Jin Se must be the name of a girl's family, and has a deep relationship with him, perhaps his sweetheart in Mongolia thought of this, and couldn't help but feel sour at the tip of his nose, and his chest was stuffy, and he felt very lost.
The wind blew slowly, blowing through the vast barren grass, and the smell of grass rushed to Ah Xing. She turned her face away and looked at the towering green bamboo, not knowing what to say.
She kicked the thick layer of dead leaves at her feet and was silent. Gilanti sank his face and said, "Don't you like it here?" Ah Xing shook his head and said, "It's very good here, how did you find it?" Gilanti laughed: "When I was very young, it was not easy to walk. Once during the Spring Festival, it snowed heavily, I fell in the Qianqing Palace, regardless of the emperor's grandfather left and right, I only knew to cry blindly, and then a good-looking lady came here with me, followed the emperor's grandfather to build a snowman, I didn't cry. After a pause, he added: "It's a pity that I don't remember which lady it is, and I haven't seen her since." It wasn't until I occasionally broke into here that I vaguely remembered the past. Ah Xing pondered for a moment and said, "Xu is my virtuous mother, she has received the most holy grace over the years." Besides, the concubine who can watch the emperor's grandfather build a snowman must be not low. Gilanti laughed, "I really can't remember." A swallow fluttered its wings and swept through the bamboo, rushing into the boundless sky, Ah Xing couldn't help but look straight away, lost his mind.
The leaves rustled, leaving the surroundings silent. The two of them have their own thoughts, and they will be stunned for a while, and when the sunset gradually sets, the glow of the sun shines obliquely, reflecting the red on the faces of the two, and slowly, they show a trace of embarrassment.
Ah Xing looked at the blood-red sunset and said, "The sky is so beautiful. "Mongolia is vast, and as long as it doesn't rain, you can see such a sunset every day. Ah Xing turned his face to look at him and said, "It's good, if only I could see him." Gilanti said: "If you want, you can see it every day." Ah Xing couldn't understand his words, and looked at him in a daze.
"Last year, Amma took me to hunt in a wolf haunt, and I shot a she-wolf. Ah Xing has always admired people with strong martial arts, and said with a smile: "My Ama once went hunting in the paddock with the emperor's grandfather and shot two tigers. Ji Lantai was embarrassed and said hurriedly: "When I grow up, I will definitely be as powerful as the fourteenth uncle." Ah Xing said: "It's not easy to be as powerful as my Amma, you have to practice riding and archery well." Ji Lantai snorted, grabbed Ah Xing's hands suddenly, and said with a flushed face: "Wait for me to kill the two tigers, you" Before he finished speaking, a roar suddenly came from behind the bamboo: "Who is there?" Ah Xing trembled in shock, instinctively followed the sound, and after a while, he turned around and asked, "It should be the patrol guards, don't care what they just said?" Gilanthai took a breath and continued: "Wait until I kill the two tigers" after the bamboo
"Da Da" drilled out two imperial guards, their hands still on the hilt of the knife, as if they were about to pull out and cut people at any time.
Ji Lantai let go of his hand, his eyes widened, and he said angrily: "Get out!" The people on the errand in front of the emperor are all the children of the Eight Banners, their identities are all noble, and they are full of confidence, kneeling down on half a knee, and said: "Please the prince and the county lord move, the emperor has a holy decree, and no one is allowed to move around at will in the pavilion here." "Gilanti had already guessed that this was not easy, otherwise how could there not even be a person to repair?
But he doesn't want people to know about his private meeting with Ah Xing, firstly, the children's in-laws must be advocated by their parents not to find private affairs, and secondly, he doesn't want Ah Xing to cause unnecessary trouble, in case she doesn't like herself, in case she already has a sweetheart, wouldn't it embarrass her when the news of the tryst between the two comes out?
So he said, "Since no one is allowed to come, why don't you see anyone guarding it?" The two guards were frightened and said, "The slave is derelict in his duties, please don't pursue it." Gilanti sighed, "Forget it, this is a trivial matter, and I don't want outsiders to know." After a pause, he said, "Don't let me hear this from other people's mouths, otherwise you will not be able to eat and walk around." The guard hurriedly said: "Prince Xie is gracious, and the slave obeys the order." Following the way they came, the two of them hurried back to the Heavenly Street.
The palace walls are layered, and the eaves are flying, as if they have returned to the mortal world, and the noise is noisy, covering the hearts of the two with a layer of dust.
Ah Xing saw Minqiu looking under the corridor, and knew that it was sent by Eniang to find it, so he reluctantly said: "It's getting late, I should leave the palace." I heard that you are going back to Mongolia tomorrow, so be careful on the road. He untied a purse from his waist and said with a smile: "I made it myself, you can use it to hold a water bottle." Seeing that Ji Lantai didn't answer for a long time, he was a little annoyed and said: "The embroidery is not good, if you dislike it, just throw it away." "She has a delicate temperament, and she is impatient like me, and she can't pretend to be a lady for three minutes, so she leaks the bottom.
Ji Lantai said abruptly: "How can I dislike it? I'm just wondering when the next time we meet, I don't know when. Ah Xing was dissatisfied and said: "When you arrive in the capital, you don't let people tell me the news, and you don't go to the house to see me, so you don't have to pretend to be reluctant at this time." Ji Lantai exclaimed: "You don't know that I have entered Beijing? I thought you knew! Eniang said, everyone in the capital knows, not to mention that you often walk around the palace! Ah Xing pondered him carefully for a moment, believed his words, and said: "There are many rules in the palace, and the restrictions are tight, I don't like to go to the palace." Ji Lantai said in a low voice: "I thought that you didn't remember me anymore and didn't want to see me" Since he thought so, Ah Xing hurriedly said: "How come" opened his mouth, feeling that he had lost his manners, he was a little shy, and bit his lip to stop talking.
Ji Lantai took the purse, stared deeply at Ah Xing, and said: "I will wear it every day, wear it to see the sunset in Mongolia" Ah Xing raised his face, as if he understood, and blurted out: "Who is Jin Se?" Ji Lantai didn't know what she was doing with Jinse, but just followed her meaning, and said: "Jinse is my teaching mother" Ah Xing suddenly realized, the worry faded, his chest was full of joy, he couldn't help laughing, and was about to say something, but he heard Min Qiu panting and said: "County Lord, I can find you, Lord and Fu Jin have been waiting for you at the gate of the palace for a while, and sent more than a dozen palace people to look for you" Gu Min Qiu was there, Ah Xing couldn't say anything, pursed his lips, and said: "See you next day, I'm leaving." The eyes of the two children were tightly glued to one place, as if they couldn't tear apart, Ji Lantai shook his head, he wanted to send Ah Xing, but he was afraid of the Qianqing Palace's many eyeliners, he stood in place, motionless, and said: "Goodbye, Ah Xing." After a pause, he said: "Your favorite milk tablets, I'll go back to Mongolia and ask someone to bring you a pack." Ah Xing nodded, her body had already turned, but her face was still facing Ji Lantai, she took one last look at him, turned her head, and her eyes were already red.
She silently said in her heart, "Goodbye, Gilanti." "After the fourteenth finished the court affairs, I couldn't find the figure of Ah Xing, thinking that she had returned to Yonghe Palace, so I went all the way to pick me up.
Unexpectedly, Ah Xing was not there at all, and Fourteen was anxious, and immediately ordered someone to look for it. It's getting late, they are not too young, they can already talk about marriage, if they really behave inappropriately and attract people's attention, they will always fall into the trap.
Besides, what he is most worried about is marriage. The kings of Mongolia are ready to move, the situation at the border is unstable, and Kangxi needs a marriage to stabilize the situation.
