It is late spring, and the catkins are flying in the rainy season. On the day of Ah Xing's wedding, it rained a little in the morning, and at the auspicious time, the sky was clear. The golden light pierced the gloomy sky, the dark clouds dispersed, and the blue sky was destitute. She was wearing a wedding robe and a phoenix crown, and the crown was decorated with hundreds of large and small eastern pearls, moist and colorful, lining her cheeks like a bright moon. Marrying Hezhuo, Ah Xing is happy, although she once admired Jilantai, but the two did not break it, she was innocent of Hezhuo in conscience. She knew that He Zhuo liked herself, and she would also like him in the long road of human growth.

Just like me and Fourteen.

The wedding was extravagant, and the people of the entire capital were poured. Half of Ah Xing's dowry was prepared by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the roster was set by Kangxi himself, and the other half was allocated by the Baylor Mansion to do the best of the government. Hundreds of honor guards set out from Hesheri to pick up the bride at the 14th Beylor House, and then beat gongs and drums to return to Hesheri House. One hundred and eighty-eight quintals of gold, silver, pearls and jade, stretching for several miles, aroused the amazement of the onlookers. Before leaving, I called Ah Xing to me, she had put on her wedding dress, and was about to leave me, and since then there has been no laughter or laughter in the house, and there is no chance to listen to her nonsense. Thinking of this, tears suddenly turned red.

Ah Xing smiled: "Don't worry, E-Niang, I will often go back to the house to see you." ”

I said, "You are a bride, and you have many unsatisfactory things, so remember to be arrogant. E-Niang wishes you a safe life, a full house with the children and grandchildren of Hezhuo, and a white head for the rest of your life. I used to think that these scenes were really hypocritical, but until this moment, Fang Jue's words are fine, which is what he thinks and what he wants. Ah Xing still smiled and said, "Got it." ”

Entering the Hesheri Mansion, shooting the sedan chair door to worship heaven and earth, across the brazier and across the saddle, a series of rituals made Ah Xing tired and unbearable. Fortunately, He Zhuo has always been by his side, holding her, leading her, and whispering in his ear to soothe. After entering the cave room, He Zhuo picked a red hijab with a jade ruyi scale, and after eating the wine, the female officials and grandmothers retreated. Ah Xing's neck was sore, he took the phoenix crown a few times, pinched his neck with his backhand, and said, "It's really tiring to get married." At this time, it was nearly midnight, the curtains were heavy, and the red candles were shining high, reflecting the crimson glow of the room.

He Zhuo also took off his hat, he lifted his robe and half-knelt behind Ah Xing, and said, "I'll pinch it for you." ”

Since the marriage, the two have rarely seen each other, and before the wedding, there has been no contact for nearly a month. Ah Xing was a little ashamed and said, "Are you tired?" He Zhuo shook his head and said with a smile: "I won't be tired when I see you." He slowly wrapped his arms around her shoulders from behind, and Ah Xing shuddered, and his heart jumped to his throat.

He was full of tenderness and said, "You are finally mine." ”

Ah Xing leaned softly on him, snorted softly, and whispered crisply: "I am myself, when is it yours?" He Zhuo was not angry, but felt that she was very cute, his arms tightened, and said, "Then I am yours, okay?" Ah Xing's eyebrows were picturesque, and he smiled: "It's about the same." He Zhuo smiled, knelt up straight, rubbed Ah Xing's neck lightly, and said with a smile: "Lord Fujin is comfortable?" Ah Xing was sweet and said, "Very good." ”

After more than a month of trouble before and after the wedding, Ah Xing's married life was happy, and her mother-in-law was very powerful, but she was proud of Ah Xing, and she also kept the etiquette, and treated Ah Xing more politely than intimately. And He Zhuo has a modest temperament, and he is obedient to Ah Xing, the two of them have nothing to worry about, and they have no serious affairs, wandering around all day long, touring the mountains and rivers, and tinkering with Yangzhou to see the scenery.

In September, the 14th came good news, he had sent the newly sealed ** lama into Tibet safely, and held a solemn succession ceremony in Lhasa. At this point, the Tibetan rebellion was completely put down. Kangxi Dayue ordered the clan to erect a monument to commemorate the fourteen merits, and rewarded fourteen countless jewelry utensils. I thought that the war had stopped, and it was time for Fourteen to go home, but I didn't want Kangxi to order him to move to Ganzhou.

Fourteen fought to the death on the front line and won meritorious service, but it was I who enjoyed the wealth of heaven in the rear. Kangxi treats me more and more favorably, and every time the courtiers offer rare fruits and pay tribute to silk and satin, he will always pick the best one for me first. Connected with Hongxuan, a little swaddling child, has faced the saint several times, and is often teased by Kangxi. And Hongming, who was taken by Kangxi's side, followed him to the paddock to hunt.

At the beginning of the fifty-eighth year of Kangxi, a major event occurred in the palace, which was not a major event. Hongfu, the maid of the Fengcha Palace next to Kangxi, died violently in a hidden wild grass behind the Qianqing Palace. Kangxi has the habit of drinking tea after the lunch break, Hongfu knows that she always cooks Qingwei Xueqian tea without waiting for Kangxi's instructions. On that day, Kangxi waited left and right, but there was no Hongfu figure.

For two days in a row, there was no Hongfu figure in the palace.

It wasn't until an old palace maid ran to the barren grass to kneel down and worship the old master, Concubine Liang, that she smelled the rancid smell, so she found the body of Hongfu. Kangxi was frightened, he didn't eat rice grains for three days, and his head turned white overnight, as if he had lost his backbone, and he languished. Concubine De presented to Kangxi on the grounds of private worship to severely punish the old palace maid.

Kangxi pondered for a long time, leaned on the pillow of the sickbed, the corners of his eyes were moist, and said: "Even I have forgotten her death day, but a palace maid still remembers, which shows her loyalty." ”

She refers to Concubine Liang.

Concubine De's heart was transparent, so she ordered someone to release the old palace maid.

That barren place was where Kangxi and Concubine Liang first met, and after Concubine Liang's death, the emperor never set foot again, and no one else was allowed to set foot on it. Back then, he whispered for her, "Loud and chirping, there are quiet women and good girls", and she hid her face and smiled in the bamboo forest.

Hongfu was strangled to death, her bones were rotten, and her face was ruined. But she is blessed in the end, her face is similar to that of Concubine Liang, and even if she dies, she dies in the place of Concubine Liang. Kangxi made an exception and named her a nobleman, and held a funeral with the specifications of a concubine. Among the joints, Kangxi is as clear as a mirror. But his heart was like ashes, lingering on the sickbed, and he was unable to trace down. In fact, there is no need to check, he also knows that among the harem concubines, there are not many who dare to do something to the people he loves.

But he was tired, very tired.

Serving Kangxi took the medicine, cleaned his face, and Concubine De knelt down and retreated. Walking to the door, Kangxi suddenly said without a head or a tail: "You hate her like this?" Concubine De's footsteps faltered, her eyes were panicked, but fortunately, Kangxi looked up at the dragon body with teeth and claws on the top of the bed, and did not see her expression. Concubine De froze and asked in a low voice, "What did the emperor say?" ”

Kangxi smiled and said, "Go ahead." "Concubine De is blessed, if you are determined to retreat.

In November, he returned to Beijing on the 14th to report on his work, and Kangxi summoned him with a strong spirit, but he could not hide the fatigue between his eyebrows. Fourteen was worried and wanted to serve in the capital, but was ordered by Kangxi to move to Gan Ning, but he was allowed to leave after the New Year.

The warm sun is warm at noon, and the plum blossoms on the case quietly bloom, revealing a light plum fragrance. I lay on my side on the couch, kissing my eyebrows, eyes, nose, and lips in small pieces, and my fingertips opened the butterfly brocade button on my chest, and kissed me hotly. The girls all retreated to the flower hall, and the room was quiet, only the heavy breathing of the two of them. I hugged his head and said in a blur: "Ah Xing wrote yesterday, saying that she hasn't seen red this month, and she may be pregnant." Fourteen lifted the brocade quilt, wrapped us tightly, skin to skin, his face on my face, and said, "Can you pass on the imperial doctor?" "His breath hit my neck, warm, reassuring to me.

My cheeks were like flying clouds, and I said, "It's passed, the imperial doctor said that he is not sure yet, and he will have to wait for another ten days and a half to know if it is." ”

Fourteen exercised a little at the bottom, and said worriedly: "She is still young, it is better to regenerate in a few years, I am afraid that her body will not be able to bear it." I protested, "I was also young back then, why was I in a hurry to give birth?" Fourteen bit me on the lips and said, "After you got married, didn't you wait two years for Ah to wake up?" He said angrily: "He Zhuo is not sensible!" ”

After a few years, many trivial matters have been forgotten. Pinching his fingers and counting the years, he seemed to be right. I became more and more angry and said, "We are different from them, they like each other as a young couple, where can we stop being polite?" When I first married you, you were indifferent to sleeping next to you. ”

Fourteen slammed into my body, and I snorted, twisted him on the back, and said with a wink in my eyes, "Bad guy." Fourteen leaned into my ear and said bewilderingly, "Now it's all made up...", Xu was in a very happy mood because he had put down the Tibetan rebellion, so he was not as preoccupied as he was when he returned to Beijing last time. I wrapped my arms around his waist, pasted them on him, and said, "Ming'er, let's go see Ah Xing, okay?" Fourteen said: "Let her go back to the house, as soon as the master goes, the Hesheri family will be very troubled, and they will not be comfortable." ”

I said, "No, in case Ah Xing is really pregnant, it's really not good." ”

Fourteen didn't expect this, so he said, "Okay." ”

At dinner, he ordered the servant to send a message to Hesheri Mansion, and he immediately replied to Zhuo Amma, saying that he was waiting for the master. At this time, it was not long after returning to Beijing on the 14th, he had great achievements in war, and he was in the limelight, and there were rumors in the market that Kangxi wanted to make the 14th crown prince, and even the edict was prepared. When the fourteenth subordinate generals presented the excerpt and Kangxi, they all called themselves "the great general Wang Chen", and Kangxi did not reprimand. If the fourteenth ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, Ah Xing will be the eldest princess who is rightfully named, and He Zhuo will naturally become a concubine. For the Hesheri family, it was the icing on the cake, a great joy that they could not ask for. When he returned home with Zhuo Sanxue, he heard that his father-in-law was coming, so he shrank down first.

Ah Xing knew that he was afraid of Fourteen, so he comforted: "Don't worry, I, Amma, am very kind. He Zhuo smiled awkwardly and said, "Can I stop going to the house tomorrow?" Ah Xing squinted his eyes and shook his head, and said on the ground: "No! ”

Early the next morning, the cold wind howled, and the snow fluttered here and there. I dressed Fourteen in a short coat of stone and blue satin and silver rat skin, and picked out butter ointment and smeared it on his face. He ducked his neck back, and said with a look of disgust: "What are you doing? I rubbed my hands on his face and said, "When the wind blows, my face hurts." Fourteen laughed and said, "Which gentleman rubs this?" "Wipe it all anyway, whatever you want. I changed into a cotton robe embroidered with gold silk and begonia satin, wrapped myself in a cloak, and led him out.

When I arrived at the bottom of the corridor, I saw Zhang Fangfang running in a hurry, and said with a red nose: "Master, the emperor has summoned me." ”

Fourteen was stunned, and only then turned his face to look at me and said, "Weiwei." ”

I said, "What's wrong?" ”

Fourteen said: "I can't accompany you to see Ah Xing." I smiled at him, wrapped my fingers around him, and said, "It doesn't matter, as long as you're still in the capital, it's good." Fourteen stretched his eyebrows, imprinted a kiss on the tip of my nose, and said with a smile: "I want to eat the duck stew you made for dinner." I said, "Okay, I'll wait for you to come back." ” <
