Emperor Kangxi sent me to marry

Chapter 109: The Sleeper

Tao Ruo's childhood came and went, but Kangxi never came to see her again.

The congratulations to the Empress Dowager are based on the date that nothing can be shaken, but instead of going to the study, he turned his head and went back to the Qianqing Palace to approve the papers.

Ji Lan was terrified of seeing him, but her younger sister's eagerness to see through her eyes was heartbreaking.

Could it be that Tao Ruo was implicated because she offended the Emperor?

No one came to make things difficult for the two of them, but the days became more and more difficult every day.

On this day, spring rain is as expensive as oil.

Not being able to go outside, Ji Lan wanted to take a few strings while he was free, bring them outside the palace to exchange for some silver, and keep it for later when he goes home.

The mouse thread and gold thread are matched with bead thread, and the colors are adjusted and matched. The lotus and peacock on the net seem to come alive.

Tao Ruo was extremely bored, and there was a pent-up resentment in her heart with nowhere to vent, so she just looked at the pair of birds who were not pleasing to the eye, her hands were neither light nor heavy, and the straw almost poked the bird's eyes.

Ji Lan had no choice but to pull her to sit beside her.

"Why bother venting your anger on something that can't speak. If you want to complain, just blame me."

Tao Ruoming knew that it wasn't her sister's fault, but that she was too greedy, and instead made things stiff.But she didn't hear a few harsh words when she was a child, and she wouldn't apologize, she just stuck her neck and didn't say a word.

Ji Lan didn't want to ask about some things, but judging by the situation, he had to.

"Let's sisters, don't lie around. You tell the truth, I'm not angry. What on earth did you bring me in for?"

"To serve the emperor in bed."

"Aren't you jealous?"

"I'm jealous. But, I can't go to bed every day. Except for the small days, the emperor is too harsh. I have to wait at least one day to recover, and I can't drink Bizitang every day."

"There are so many concubines in the palace, aren't they all preparing for this?"

Tao Ruo gritted her teeth, thought about it for a long time, and simply said everything in her heart.

"I can't go to bed, I want to see him too. It's fine to sit together and talk, or pour water and tea for him, I feel bad if I can't see him..."

Ji Lan promised her that she would not be angry, and she would do what she said, and comforted her crying sister with her arms around her.

"Being a concubine is like this. Since you have chosen this path, it is useless to regret it."

"Who says I regret it? I don't regret it at all. The emperor is so kind. I am willing to serve him if I have a position or not. Sister, you can treat me as my complete. The two of us will live together in the future. Order supplements, adjust the small days, there will always be one who can sleep. Can't the other one follow him? When the emperor goes to other concubines' palaces, I can't have the cheek to come to the door. But my sister It's different!"

Ji Lan felt that her sister was really crazy.

Apart from the emperor, she probably has nothing else in her mind now.

"I'm not going to be a concubine, I want to go home. It doesn't matter if it's three years or five years, the maids can be released when they reach the age, at least there is hope. The concubine will never go out for the rest of her life, just like this bird. The food is Fine grains, drinking bird’s nest water, but you can only stay in a cage for the rest of your life, having wings means not having wings. You like him and are willing to live like this, but I don’t like it.”

Tao Ruo was frightened silly by her words.

"Sister, why don't you like the emperor? What's wrong with him?"

Ji Lan was stopped by the question, he hesitated for a long time, but couldn't tell a single shortcoming.

Tao Ruo seems to have grasped a life-saving straw, full of energy.

"This may sound harsh, sister, don't get angry. Brother-in-law, he is a good man, but he didn't even leave you with a child. Outsiders don't know, and think that sister can't give birth. Your Majesty, you only need to serve once and forget about it." No, he really..."

"You still can't keep your mouth shut, stop talking!"

Ji Lan didn't dare and didn't want to admit that what Kangxi said that day strongly attracted her.

Because she is a widow, the sisters-in-law and relatives don't talk too much about her, thinking that she knows everything.

In fact, Ji Lan still has a half-knowledge of what should happen between husband and wife.

"Tao Ruo, do you have connections with the emperor? Can you let me meet him?"

"Sister, you finally figured it out!"

"No. It's just that I lost him to you, and I have to find it back."

Shoukang Palace is a little far away from Qianqing Palace, Ji Lan walked slowly holding a paper umbrella.

We met, what do you want to say?

How should I beg him to restore my sister's favor?
If he lays everything out on the surface and asks to serve him, as a slave, she will never refuse.

With confused thoughts, Ji Lan entered Kangxi's bedroom under the guidance of Liang Jiugong.

"Miss, wait patiently for a while. It's not easy for the emperor to report. Several lords are discussing matters here. As soon as I have time, the servant will tell the emperor."

Ji Lan was terrified by his politeness, repeatedly confessed, and wanted to hand over the money, but was pushed back.

"No need. The girl serves the emperor well, making Long Yan happy, and the life of the servants will be easier."

After Liang Jiugong left, Ji Lan was the only one left in the room.

At first she stayed there peacefully, but later she got really bored waiting, so she opened her eyes and started to look around.

How should I put it, she was a little surprised.As the residence of the emperor, it is too simple.

The bedding, furnishings, and furniture are half-old and not new, and the colors are not too bright except for bright yellow. Because of the rain and poor lighting, the room looks a bit bleak.

Ji Lan felt that the things in her sister's room seemed to be more valuable than here.

She waited until late at night before Kangxi came back to rest.

"You came."

Just as Ji Lan was about to kneel down to pay his respects, he was pulled up.

"I have a headache, rub it."

After finishing speaking, he fell on the bed by himself, closed his eyes, and waited for her to come over.

Thinking of begging him to see Tao Ruo later, Ji Lan didn't dare to disobey, and tentatively rubbed his temples lightly.

"Heavier."

"Yes."

This busy work took another half an hour to pass.

Seeing that he seemed to be in a much better mood, Ji Lan tried to mention his sister.

"The emperor hasn't come these days, Tao Ruo misses you very much."

"Yes. And what about you, don't you want to see me?"

"The status of a slave is low, how dare you."

"She's your sister. What's the difference between your two identities?"

"Didn't the emperor agree to give Tao Ruo a concubine?"

"Oh, so jealous. If you want, you can have it."

Ji Lan felt that the words became more and more biased, and his heart trembled with fear.

"Why doesn't the emperor want to see her?"

"Who said, I won't see her. There was a war in the south, and the memorials piled up like a mountain. I don't have time to see anyone. If you don't believe me, go to the records of the respect room to see if there are any concubines who have served in bed."

It turned out to be so.

The two of them were really sitting in the well, not knowing anything.

"The emperor is so busy, and the slaves actually came to disturb him. It is a real death penalty."

"Well, indeed. How are you going to make amends?"

Ji Lan felt that according to this situation, she had to serve the bed.

Whether it will work or not, give it a try.

"Your majesty, you said that you want to make your slave happy. I don't understand, slave."
