Leader Lan Palace

Chapter 2338 Seven Volumes 38 20 Years, My Heart For You Has Never Changed (Bi)

Wanxi also followed the prestige.

It was dusk, and Wan Xi could only see a man from a distance, with a high nose and deep eyes.

Liu Zhu'er, Qu Xu and others rushed over upon hearing the sound, guarding beside Wanxi.

Yuying was also clever, and couldn't help but look at He Guiren, and asked softly, "Excuse me for being bold, but the master's mother's family came to pay their respects?"

Today, the emperor gave a banquet, and on top of the banquet, there were many returning Burkes such as Hodges Burke.Turdutaiji, the elder brother of the nobleman, was also among them.

He and the nobleman hurriedly bowed towards Wanxi, "It's not my family. This is the inner court, and it's not my own strategy. They won't be so reckless."

While talking, that person hastily stepped forward and knelt down, "My minister Lang Shining pays his respects to the imperial concubine Ling. This minister disturbed the imperial concubine Ling, and he deserves death."

Wanxi was also surprised, but she smiled and quickly told Liu Zhuer, "Hurry up and help Mr. Castiglione."
.
On the grassland in September, the wind at night is already bone-chillingly cold.Wanxi then ordered Castiglione to enter the tent to talk, and also grabbed the hand of the nobleman, please come in with the nobleman.

The nobleman hesitated a little, and asked in a low voice, "...he is a foreign minister, how can we meet him conveniently?"

Wanxi shook her head with a smile, "Your worries are justified. It is inconvenient for the inner court and foreign ministers to meet each other. But Mr. Castiglione is already seventy-two this year, and he is already an elder, so it's okay."

"Besides, his identity is a Western missionary. In our Chinese concept, he is a foreign monk and an eunuch. Just like the eunuchs in the palace are also called 'eunuchs', between us and Lord Castiglione, You don’t have to keep men and women on guard.”

The nobleman also opened his mouth wide in surprise, "They are all 72-year-olds? You can't tell from the back."

Wanxi smiled softly, "That's not true. He served in the palace when he was Lord Kangxi, and now he is a veteran of the three dynasties. When the old man celebrated his [-]th birthday the year before last, the emperor wrote a congratulatory message himself."

Only then did the nobleman breathe a sigh of relief, "In this way, the friendship between the emperor and this lord is quite deep."

Wanxi nodded, "Yes. The emperor once said that when Lord Lang Shining first entered the palace, it was when Lord Kangxi was in his 60s. At that time, the emperor had been taken into the palace by Lord Kangxi to be raised, so Lord Castiglione entered the palace. At that time, our emperor was still a child. At that time, the emperor saw Lang Shining's painting skills with his own eyes."

"Later, Lord Yongzheng ascended the throne and expanded the Old Summer Palace. Many western landscapes were designed by Mr. Castiglione himself, and even the western water method of the twelve animal heads was designed by him. Therefore, when the emperor was young, he was drawn to Mr. Castiglione's paintings. Skills increase admiration.”

"After the emperor ascended the throne, the emperor once said that in those few years, the emperor would go to the Ruyi Hall almost every day to watch Lang Shining's paintings..."

Listening quietly with the nobleman, the expression on his face became more and more relaxed.

"Since this is the case, thinking about it, Lord Castiglione must not have come here rashly, he should have followed the emperor's order. He is a minister that the emperor trusts, so it doesn't matter if we see him."

Wan Xi patted the nobleman's hand with a smile, "The reason why I have to take you to meet together today is actually because you and Mr. Castiglione are predestined - the design drafts of the entire Western-style building in Yuanmingyuan are all from Mr. Castiglione. Your 'Fang Appearance' is a scene in the Western-style building, I think Lai Fang's appearance was later transformed into the appearance of your chapel in Huibu, and all the Yiying designs are still written by his old man."

After getting to know the nobleman, he just smiled, "The imperial concubine is right, I should personally thank this old man."

The Quran is engraved all over the exterior wall of that side, and the interior is the architectural style of Tianfangguo with a roof.

Wanxi patted the hands of the nobleman, "Then let's go in, don't make the old man wait. I think the old man must have been tired with the emperor all day today, let's finish talking quickly, so that the old man can go back Rest."
.
Wanxi entered the tent and sat down with the nobleman, Lang Shining stepped forward to meet again.

Relatively speaking, whether they are Han, Manchu, or Mongolian, their facial features are relatively flat; on the contrary, they have the same high nose and deep eyes as the nobleman and Castiglione, so they should feel kind when they look at each other.

After all, in the vast world of the palace, there are not many people with such looks.

Perhaps it was because of this that Castiglione looked up a few times, but he was mainly staring at the nobleman.He and the nobleman were a little uncomfortable, and kept looking at Wanxi.Wan Xi patted her hand with a smile, "...Naturally, Master Castiglione thinks you have a friendly face. Take it easy, just like our own old grandfather."

Wanxi excused herself to go back to the back tent and take off the bright yellow dragon robe she was wearing.

She was so honorable, she was really restrained and flustered when she was asked to go back to her tent and still be dressed like this.

Yuchan and Yuying waited on Wanxi to change clothes, Yuchan couldn't help being happy, and asked Wanxi in a low voice, "It's a bit embarrassing to be stared at by Mr. Lang Shining. Why did the master hide and call the nobleman?" Left there alone, she blushed."

Wan Xi chuckled, "Because I guess, Lord Castiglione is not here to see me; he is here to see you."

Yuchan was a little puzzled, "Master, this is...?"

Wanxi smiled softly, "Since Mr. Castiglione entered the palace, all the large-scale hunting pictures and pleasure pictures in the palace were drafted by Mr. Castiglione himself; However, the main characters in the paintings, especially the emperor and the inner court dignitaries, must have been painted by him."

"As for my appearance, he is no stranger to him. After all, in the tenth year of Qianlong's reign, he has already painted my portrait; and this time, if he wants to draw the "Four Events at the Banquet", he must draw the nobleman, and You and the nobleman have just entered the palace not long ago, and I think you haven't seen Lord Castiglione before, so naturally you have to stare at him a few more times."

After hearing this, Yuchan and Yuying suddenly realized, "It turns out that the emperor asked Lord Castiglione to come and see the nobleman? Then why did you choose to come to our tent?"

Wanxi glanced at them, smiled but didn't speak.

Yuying was still smart, and she clapped her hands with a smile, "I thought of it! The emperor is a man after all, if the emperor is asked to take Mr. Castiglione to meet the nobleman himself, the emperor will be embarrassed by himself, and it will be embarrassing to call the nobleman, right? Lord Lang Shining met the nobleman in front of our master, so naturally the emperor doesn't have to be embarrassed, and he can also make the nobleman feel at ease."

Yuchan laughed too, "That's the reason!"

Wanxi listened, bowed her head and smiled, and hurriedly changed into her comfortable semi-old regular clothes, then turned around and ordered, "Let's go out quickly, don't make you and master too lonely."
.
Sure enough, after staying Wanxi back to the front tent, she and the nobleman hurriedly got up and said goodbye.

Knowing that she was uncomfortable, Wanxi smiled and let her go with the nobleman, and specially asked Yuying to send it outside the tent.

Lang Shining saluted again.

Wanxi and the veteran of the three dynasties did not see each other, and said with a smile, "My lord, please sit down."

Because Castiglione once presided over the design of many western buildings in the Old Summer Palace, he is not just a painter of Ruyi Pavilion.The emperor gave Lang Shining the rank of Fengchen Yuanqing, which is the third-rank official position of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.With his official position as a third-rank official, coupled with his age, even Wanxi, the noble concubine, is respectfully addressed as an "adult".

Lang Shining wanted to kneel down again, "I really don't dare... Your concubine, empress, don't call me 'Master' anymore."

Wanxi nodded with a smile, "You can always bear it. After all, if you ask me to call your old man by your first name, I don't know what to say. You are not thinking of me, you have to take care of the emperor in my stomach." Thinking about it—he might be able to hear us talking, I have to teach him the principle of respecting the elderly, don’t you think so?”

Lang Shining had no choice but to accept it, saluting repeatedly.

Sitting down again, Lang Shining couldn't help sighing softly, "I have known about the blessings of the imperial concubine and empress since the tenth year of Qianlong's reign. Today, the blessing of the imperial concubine is even more admired by me."

Wanxi laughed, "Why would your lord say that? I'm confused."

Lang Shining sighed softly, "In the tenth year of Qianlong, when I was first ordered to make a portrait of a noble concubine, I didn't dare to speak out; Since the first year, I have been painting portraits of the emperor and the heads of the inner court. But please forgive me for saying so bluntly——the one with the lowest rank in my paintings is you, the concubine of the year."

"Oh?" Wanxi couldn't help staring slightly, "How could it be me?"

Lang Shining smiled, "At that time, the happy faces that I have already painted are the emperor, the queen at that time, the noble concubine, the pure concubine, the Jia concubine...these are all above the rank of concubine, and only the imperial concubine is dressed in incense. What a beautiful concubine." (Although the painting is marked "Concubine Ling", she is wearing a concubine's auspicious clothes, which proves that she was painted when she was a concubine~~ This painting is on display in the United States At that time, the museum’s introduction even said that only the portraits of the emperor, empress, and concubine were painted by Castiglione; the other seven were painted by Castiglione’s apprentices, and the last three were painted by other painters. Think about it, it was only ten years of Qianlong at that time. , how much attention has Lingfei received)
"Concubine Shu, who was concubine almost at the same time as the concubine, wore the golden dragon robe of the concubine in the painting after she was concubine in the 14th year of Qianlong. It has been four full years since the portrait of you in the concubine, concubine concubine. Years..."

"As for Concubine Qing, Concubine Ying, and Concubine Xin also entered the painting as concubines later, that was all after 16 years of Qianlong, and it was a full six years later than you, Concubine Gui, who entered the painting—so to sum up, Concubine Concubine Empress, you are the first head of the inner court to be included in the painting "Heart Writing Zhiping" as a concubine!"

That volume of "Heart Writing Zhiping" is a picture scroll collected by the emperor alone.Wanxi only saw her own paintings after they were finished. At that time, because she was young, she didn't understand many anecdotes in the palace, so she didn't pay attention to them.Thinking back at this moment - she was really the only one in the painting wearing a fragrant concubine's auspicious costume; later, she joined other concubines, but she was also the first to set a precedent for the concubine to be included in the painting.

But it was today, it was her birthday, and after watching the feast all day, she learned from Castiglione this story from many years ago... Wanxi couldn't help but feel a surge of sweetness in her heart.

But in front of Lang Shining, she had to restrain herself, so she just lowered her head and smiled secretly.

——I used to think that the emperor asked Lang Shining to come to her at this moment, to have a look at the nobleman, so that he could draw a picture; but now, it seems that Lang Shining is actually talking about this.

Her grandfather... She has already accepted all of this heart firmly.
.
Lang Shining finished what he had to say, so he knelt down and bid farewell.

Wanxi stood up to signal herself.

Lang Shining backed up to the door of the tent, according to the rules, he had to get out of the door before turning around and leaving.At this moment, Wanxi saw a look of confusion on his face.

Wanxi then called to stop Castiglione, "My lord, wait a moment. I know that my lord will draw up a draft for today's banquet when I go back. Today is a grand ceremony, and there is no room for error. If I can help, please open your mouth."

Lang Shining hurried back and fell to his knees again, "There is indeed one thing I don't understand... To tell you the truth about the imperial concubine, I came to see the noble lady today, not only for today's picture. The emperor has already issued an order , Ask Weichen to prepare the "Battle Map of Ping Ding Zhunbu Huibu", that map will be even bigger than today's one."

"Therefore, I have to understand the appearance and clothes of the Huibu people... Then I will draw the Pingding map, so that I can make no mistakes."

Wanxi nodded, "It took the imperial court six years to win such martial arts. Your lord should indeed show every detail, and there is no room for error."

Lang Shining frowned, "But... the princes of Huibu who I met originally wore white caps and robes; I personally designed the 'square appearance', which mainly used white...We Chen I heard that when the nobleman first entered the palace, he used to wear white robes, with no other colors on his body. But today, I saw that the nobleman was wearing red clothes, which confused me."

"Could it be that Weichen is wrong? Then when Weichen draws back to the tribe, will he wear white clothes and white hats, or red clothes and red hats?"
.
Wanxi nodded and smiled, approvingly, "Your Excellency really sees the details. Your Excellency has heard that it is true. When you enter the palace with nobles, you are dressed in white robes. Therefore, the 'square appearance' is all white walls."

Castiglione pondered, "Could it be because today is the day of Daqing, so you and your nobleman wear red clothes to show the celebration?"

Wanxi smiled and shook her head, "Have you ever heard of 'White Hat Hui'?"

Lang Shining is a Westerner after all, even though he has lived in China for decades, he still can't tell whether he came from the West or the East when he finally returned home.Lang Shining said shyly, "I also ask the imperial concubine to enlighten me."

Wanxi nodded and said, "The imperial court pacified and returned to the Ministry, and the noble mother's family was ordered to settle in Beijing, 'Eight Lords to Beijing'. In addition to their family, they also brought craftsmen, servants, etc., and the emperor ordered them to be compiled under the Zhengbai banner of the House of Internal Affairs. , as the 'Hui Ren Zuo Ling', and granted them to live outside the 'Baoyue Building' in Xiyuan, the emperor allocated funds from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to build the 'Hui Hui Camp' for them to live in."

Baoyue Tower (cough, it is the Xinhua Gate of Zhongnanhai today, the central gate ~~ is it amazing) was built in the 23rd year of Qianlong, long before entering Beijing with the nobles.Because Huibu is "people from the West", people from the Western Regions have lived in various parts of the Central Plains throughout the ages, and they all chose to live in the west of the city. Therefore, the emperor gave them the hell outside Xiyuan and West Chang'an Street.

"As for the cities in the central plains, since the Tang Dynasty, there have been people who believe in Islam living in it. It's just that those people have already integrated into the Central Plains people. My mother’s family came from the Western Regions, and they are descendants of Uyghurs. They are not of the same ancestors as these Hui people. After resettling with the noble mother’s family, they still use their own language, so they want to distinguish them from the original Hui people. Those who originally spoke Chinese The Hui people also wear white clothes and hats, so the members of the family of the nobles and mothers changed into red clothes and red hats."

"Nowadays, Hui people from the Central Plains who originally spoke Chinese are called 'White Hat Hui'; and the mother clan of Jingzhong and nobles is called 'Red Hat Hui'. The palace also changed into red clothes and red hats." ("White hat Hui" is the Hui nationality today, and "Red Hat Hui" is the Uighur nationality.)
Lang Shining suddenly realized, and knelt down to thank him again and again.

Wanxi raised her eyes to look at Castiglione, and smiled slightly, "Since my lord wants to prepare the "Picture of Ping Ding Zhunbu Huibu" according to the order, I suggest that you can go to Huihui camp to have a look. The appearance and clothes of the Huibu people are close by. In front of my eyes."
.
Castiglione left satisfied, and the 72-year-old man staggered away into the night with his back.

Both Yuchan and Yuying said happily, "Today is a good day for the master. The emperor has put so much effort into today. The servants are all anxious to see this painting of Lord Castiglione!"

Wanxi smiled and nodded, "It's just that it's not easy to paint. How can such a large-scale painting be completed in three or two months? Besides, they are working in the palace, and the emperor has to look at the sample drafts. I still don’t know how many drafts I have to revise. I’m afraid it will take two or three years until the sample draft can be finalized, and then the painting will be formally completed.”

Thinking back on Castiglione's aged back, Wanxi sighed softly, "Besides, Mr. Castiglione is 72 years old. At this age, it is hard work to preside over such a large painting."

"Besides, didn't you hear what he said just now? He will also prepare the imperial court's "Suppression of Zhunbu and Huibu Tu", which is naturally a larger project than today's painting, and it may become the largest in the dynasty. painting."

Wanxi concealed a word and didn't say a word - the 72-year-old old man, to put it bluntly, has today and no tomorrow. I really don't know which day the old man may die suddenly... At that time, these paintings can If you can't finish the painting, it's all unknown.

Thinking of this, Wanxi couldn't help but feel a little sad again.

This is the impermanence of the world and the ruthlessness of time.At this age, especially today is her birthday, I can't help but feel more regretful about birth, old age, sickness and death.

Wanxi's expression made Yuchan and Yuying feel a little sad.

They are official women, and there will always be a day when they leave the palace.If it takes two or three years to finish this painting...then, will they still have a chance to see it?

After all, the whole life, the meeting between people is always like meeting by chance, meeting for a moment, and finally going to leave.

Yuchan and Yuying looked at each other, and quickly covered the soreness on the tip of their noses.
.
After spending her thousand-year-old birthday in the paddock, after a day's rest, Wanxi finally embarked on the road back to Beijing.

On the day of departure, the emperor was tired of staying in Wanxi's tent for a long time, and he was reluctant to let go of Wanxi's hand.

"If it weren't for this year's itinerary, I would have already booked it, I really want to go back with you."

Wanxi smiled and patted the emperor's cheek comfortingly, "I know that although the overall situation of the imperial court in the northwest has been settled, some princes in the Zhunbu and Huibu still have a change in their hearts. The Lord is besieging the Mulan paddock to appease the emperor." After the Mongolian tribes, they have to go back to the summer resort, and there is also the matter of Banboke's entry into the pilgrimage in the year of the Hui tribe. The emperor has to take care of both Mongolia and the Hui tribe."

"I don't care if I go back by myself. After all, this is not the south of the Yangtze River. How far is it from the capital? If I walk faster, I will arrive in Beijing in a few days. Master, you can work here with confidence. Even if the servant goes back by himself, he will surely give birth to our child."

Wanxi said with a smile and bowed her head, gently stroking Gao Long's belly, "This little guy has followed the slave all the way, how lucky is this? He, he is blessed by God, and protected by his ancestors. You can rest assured, Grandpa."

The emperor also smiled and gently stroked Wanxi's stomach, but he scolded softly, "Stinky boy, listen carefully, don't let your mother go on the way! If you are not obedient, wait for Ama to go back and take care of her." Let me set the rules for you!"

Wanxi could see that although the emperor was smiling and telling jokes, with his head lowered, he couldn't hide the side of his face...the corner of his eye was already red.

From the 21st year of Qianlong, when they finally had their first child, Xiaoqi, the emperor always stayed by her side for the first four children, whether they were born or died.Only this time, the lost and found child could not be born with the emperor's company.

Who told him that the year he came to the world happened to be the emperor's fiftieth birthday, and it was also the year of Daqing when the court completely calmed down the Northwest?The emperor's meetings and celebrations this year are several times more than in previous years, and each of them needs to be attended by the emperor himself.

Wanxi tried her best to smile, not to make herself go red-eyed with the emperor, so she stretched out her arms and hugged the emperor through her extra round belly this time.The two hugged each other, with their child in the middle, and here is also a family of three, together.

Although farewell is always sad, Wanxi never expected that the emperor revealed a suspense just before she set off - Wanxi never expected that the emperor would send Fu Heng to escort her all the way!
After all, Wanxi couldn't bear it any longer, and looked back at the emperor with red eyes.

The emperor smiled, his long eyebrows raised lightly, the corners of his eyes raised a hint of pride, and his chin was slightly raised.

Wanxi couldn't help but chuckle with tears in her eyes, "Tch... what's so proud of you?"

The emperor lightly reached into the window of the carriage, and stroked Wanxi's cheek lightly, "I don't worry about our child, let alone your journey... Only Xiao Jiu personally escorts me, so I can go with a little relief." .”

Wanxi squinted her eyes wide, not to let the tears fall down.But in the end, when the carriage drove away and the moment she lowered the curtains, there was still a string of tears, and all of them fell down suddenly.
.
Fortunately, on this journey, Master Jiu accompanied this surprise trip.

Originally, I thought that on the ninth day of September, the emperor had already expressed all the surprises and intentions, but in fact, the emperor still reserved a hand, and asked her to go back to Beijing with full of joy.

Not only Fu Heng escorted her, but also Yuqin and Concubine Ying followed, taking care of Wanxi along the way.

During these years in the palace, apart from concubine Wanxi, Wanxi has the deepest affection for Yuqin and Concubine Ying. Therefore, during these years, she has not kept the little things between her and Fu Heng from Yuqin and Concubine Ying. concubine.

Therefore, along the way, the three of them sometimes sat lonely in the carriage. Yuqin and Concubine Ying couldn't help opening the curtains to look at Fu Heng who was riding back and forth on horseback outside, smiling quietly and jokingly.

Wanxi doesn't care about it.

After all, it has been a matter of how many years, not to mention that she is pregnant with the emperor's child at this time, she has her heart on them, and has never been separated in these years.Yuqin and Concubine Ying laughed, so she let them go.

Accompanied by Yuqin and Concubine Ying, even when they spend the night in Daying, Fu Heng came to pay his respects, but he also followed the rules and only greeted him outside the tent door.

Until leaving the grassland and returning to Zhang Sanying's palace on the flat ground, it was already close to the capital.Wanxi was also concerned about Fu Heng's hard work in escorting her all the way, so she specially announced to meet her.
.
Even if we meet, even if the emperor is not around at this moment, Wanxi thinks about it, but she is still cruel, and orders the vermilion lacquer bamboo curtain to fall down.

A bamboo curtain separates the two. Although the bamboo curtain is light and thin, it is not as thick as the palace wall, but it is always a faint sadness that will never be erased.

Fu Heng knelt down to pay his respects, and Wanxi stared deeply at Fu Heng through the bamboo curtain.

The tip of his nose was a little sore, but he tried his best to smile.

"Sure enough, the monarch and his ministers are united. The emperor is 50 years old this year, and he is quite blessed, his face is like a silver moon; Jiuye, you... Heh, you also have plump cheeks!"

Getting fat in middle age is always a threshold for men to pass, right?Although he is no longer as handsome as he was when he was young, but at this age, he is more graceful and younger if he is richer.

Fu Heng didn't expect Jiu'er to say this as soon as he opened his mouth, so he was stunned and didn't know how to continue.

Looking down at himself, he couldn't help feeling a little ashamed.

Wanxi laughed, "What is Jiu Ye thinking? I still envy the emperor and you who are so fat. I myself, want to be fat right now, but I only get fat on my stomach, so I can't get fat on my face. Woke up."

Fu Heng felt unspeakable pity, but also unspeakable—gratification.These years, Jiu'er has one child every year, although it makes her body haggard, it shows that the emperor's long-term love for Jiu'er has not changed.

He tried his best to smile, "Master, it is possible to have the emperor's heir. This is the heart of a loving mother. The slave only hopes that the emperor's heir will fall to the ground as soon as possible, so I ask the master to take care of it and raise some children."

Wanxi smiled openly, "Yes! I'll listen to Master Jiu!"

Although this tone is a woman in her 30s, she still has the playfulness and lightness of the past.The apex of Fu Heng's heart ached again out of habit.

It turns out that 20 years of time can change a person's appearance and figure, but it can't be erased alone. My heart hurts~~
Seeing that Fu Heng stopped talking again, Wanxi didn't understand what Master Jiu was thinking.She lowered her head, twirling the beads on her wrist with her fingertips, and said slowly, "Jiuye's children are all doing well, Brother Long officially married the fourth princess this year, even Brother Ling has made great contributions in the northwest... ...I haven't met Master Jiu in the past few years, but when I heard the good news about them in the palace, I'm also very happy for Master Jiu from the bottom of my heart."

"Knowing that Master Jiu's family is so prosperous, even though I didn't see Master Jiu in the palace, I was still relieved."

It's so easy to meet each other, there are always too many things to say; but when I open my mouth, I don't know where to start.Let's turn thousands of words into this sound.It's all for the sake of safety, isn't it because each other's wishes have gone?
Fu Heng felt a severe pain in his heart, and he almost couldn't control his emotions.All he could do was pinch the household registration with his nails in his cuffs, trying his best to calm down his face.

"Thank you, Master, for your concern... The children of this servant, whether it is Ling'er, Long'er, or Kang'er, have all depended on Master Ling's care and teaching these years. Although I haven't been able to see Master Ling in recent years, In the three children and the fourth princess, the servant can still see the kindness of the master Ling. Therefore... the servant is like seeing the master Ling."

"Last year, the master was able to become a noble concubine, and the slave became the official envoy. This made the slave even more joyful... I just want the master to be safe in the palace, and the slave has no extravagance."

Wanxi nodded with a smile, but she couldn't bear to hear such bitter words from Master Jiu again.She changed her mind slightly, and said playfully, "Master Jiu, do you remember my birthdays in the past? In the past, Master Jiu always put his heart and soul into preparing birthday gifts for me..."

She still cherishes all those pastries, those portraits, those... personally carved incense boxes, and never forgets them.

At this moment, Fu Heng finally had tears in his eyes, "Slave... how could I forget?!"

Wanxi smiled and nodded, "So, look, Master Jiu, it's my birthday again this year. Asking Master Jiu to take me back to Beijing, this is another big gift from Master Jiu..."

Fu Heng's heart trembled slightly, he understood, bowed his head deeply, and gently closed his eyes.

"What the master said is, in fact, is this not a special favor from the emperor to the slave? It is also... one of the many thousand-year-old gifts prepared by the emperor for the master."

Wanxi nodded with a smile, "The emperor also said that the only way I can entrust him to Jiuye for this journey is for the emperor to feel at ease. Look at Jiuye, after 20 years, Jiuye is still the most trustworthy person in the emperor's heart. The emperor has a long love for me. I also have a long-term love for Master Jiu."

Fu Heng nodded vigorously.

He understands, he understands everything... That's why the pain in my heart is so much; like this, 20 years can't erase the slightest bit.

But after Jiu'er said that, he naturally had to reassure her.He laughed as hard as he could, "I don't know if Master Ling has noticed something - when the master was canonized as a noble concubine, the slave was the envoy of the master; and when the queen's master was canonized as a queen, the slave happened to be the envoy of the canonization." ah."

"The emperor used the queen's title as envoy, but he came to confer the position of concubine to the master... The emperor's heart is so important, master, do you understand?"

(What’s the matter, Jiu’er’s most important birthday, isn’t it awesome? Thank you for your monthly tickets and rewards~)
