dream back to qing dynasty

Chapter 17
I kowtowed deeply, the snow on the ground was slightly melted by the bonfire, and the wet and cold feeling hit my forehead suddenly, and I couldn't help shivering.There was a sudden silence in the arena, breathing could be heard, only the occasional crackling sound from the bonfire.My mind was numb, as if it was blank, I thought I was not nervous at all, but after a while, I suddenly found that my muscles were tense, as if waiting for a fatal blow at all times, I couldn't help laughing at myself grinned.Thinking in my heart, what can I do so that the emperor will not notice me and dismiss me quickly?Pretending to be stupid is obviously not effective, so there is only...

"Your name is Mingwei, whose family is it?" A clear voice suddenly came.Shocked, I quickly concentrated my mind: "Return to the emperor, the slave is from the Yalarta family!" I said loudly, sounding extremely excited.Emperor Kangxi paused: "Well, it turned out to be Yinglu's daughter. It's really good. How did you save Brother Thirteen last time?"

"Report to the emperor!" I lowered my head and continued to say loudly: "This servant was taught to be loyal to the Lord since childhood, and today is just a coincidence. As soon as Eunuch Fu said this morning, this servant ran over..." I was impassioned, and said Mo Hengfei showed his loyalty, and in a blink of an eye, he saw that the concubine de concubine was stunned. Since I entered the palace, she may have never seen me so noisy, with a look of being unable to stand on the stage look.

"Well, good." Emperor Kangxi said a word lightly. Although it was as light as a breeze, there was an invisible pressure, which made me swallow the rest of the words, and I bent down. "You did a good job, I will definitely reward you!" Obviously, Emperor Kangxi saw that I was just an ordinary slave, talking incoherently, and had no interest in exploring. "Thank you, Your Majesty!" I thanked him with a trembling tone of excitement.Hehe, with my head buried low, I chuckled to myself, it's done!Just waiting for him to tell me to back down.

"Your Majesty, the princes are blessed by the gods. However, your harvest today is really not small. The king is really ashamed of himself!" A heroic voice sounded, and I slightly raised my eyes. A Mongolian prince was holding a wine glass, flattering the emperor.I couldn't help frowning, this Mongolian is really good, when can't shoot, at least it won't be too late for him to say it after I leave.Although I was dressed heavily, after kneeling for a long time, the cold still rushed in, but the emperor didn't tell me to back down, so I didn't dare to move or walk, so I could only kneel there obediently, feeling a little nervous. Don't worry, you won't get rheumatism, right? !
The emperor was very happy, and had a drink with the prince, and some other envoys from other countries also frequently made fun of it, and for a while they forgot my existence.I sighed in my heart that it was unlucky, but the biggest crisis has passed, so I had to kneel after kneeling for a while.The surroundings were bustling, I leaned over and lowered my head, retracting my hands into my sleeves. I have been extremely nervous for the past two days. Now I can’t help but relax a little. Although I have slept all afternoon, I can The ground became sleepy again, and couldn't help yawning... Before he closed his mouth, his peripheral vision inadvertently swept across the table of the crown prince, fourth master, and thirteenth elder brother. Looking at my wide open mouth, the fourteenth and tenth elder brothers on the side also looked at me blankly.I was shocked, and hurriedly shut up and lowered my head, only to feel my heart beating wildly, and my face became hot.Swallowing, he felt his mind was in a mess, so he quickly took a few deep breaths to calm himself down.Suddenly, I found a pair of boots parked in front of me. I was startled, and when I looked up, it was the eunuch Li Dequan.

"Miss, this is a reward from Long Live Lord, take it and go down!"

"Yes, thank the emperor for the reward!" I stood up, couldn't help but gasped, my legs hurt so much, and there was a feeling of needle pricks in the numbness.After settling down, I respectfully reached out to take it, and blessed myself slightly: "Thank you too, Eunuch." I said lightly.Li Dequan was taken aback, then looked me up and down, I just wanted to leave quickly, and I didn't want to care about his thoughts anymore, so I nodded, turned around and walked towards the concubine De.

When I went to Defei, I saluted, but Defei didn't say anything, just nodded and let me go down.Dong Lian and the others were very excited, they came close to me, stretched their heads and stared, I smiled, and then handed them the things that the emperor rewarded them, listening to their excited chirping, I didn't take it to heart at all, He just couldn't help but look at Si elder brother's table.

Fourth Master and the others had already returned to normal, either calm and composed, or bold and forthright, they seemed to be completely integrated into it, talking and laughing.Seeing Thirteen drink one cup after another, I couldn't help frowning. Is this kid dying? He is still fighting with the princes of the Mongolian princes. Brother Fourteen is just for fun. I don't know why. He looked a little sluggish, not as bright as he used to be.But I didn't care about him, I just stared at Brother Thirteen worriedly, after a while, I saw someone coming to toast again, I couldn't help but took a step forward, suddenly Fourth Master stood up, I didn't know what to do with him After they said something, he raised his head and drank two glasses, and those people dispersed.He gestured to the thirteenth elder brother, sat down again, said a few words to the prince, then leaned back on the felt stool, closed his eyes, and lightly pressed his temples with his fingers.I stared blankly at him—this person who told me what Shisan wanted, and he also wanted it; this person who would stop drinking for Brother Thirteen even if he wasn't feeling well...

After standing like this for a while, the fourth elder brother's eyes suddenly turned around, penetrated the crowd, and fixedly stared at me. I felt a little sore in my heart, and I just looked at him. Without avoiding his gaze, looking at each other...

"Xiaowei."

"Ah?" I paused, then turned around and saw Dongmei coming to me, and handing me back the things that the emperor rewarded me. Seeing me stunned, she couldn't help smiling: "What are you looking at? I think you are still too old." I’m tired, go back and rest, I’ll tell the master, I’m only afraid that you’ll be sleepy, so I asked Dong Lian to call you.” I smiled and nodded: “Thank you very much, come if you have something to do Call me, it's okay, you two have had enough." Dongmei nodded with a smile, and turned around.

I don’t know what the emperor rewarded me. It was just a box outside. I felt my hands were very cold, and I didn’t want to stretch out to catch the cold. After thinking about it, I put the box in my armpit, turned my head and walked back.Looking up inadvertently, Emperor Kangxi was talking to Concubine De and Concubine Gui. Dongmei walked up when she saw some time, whispered something in Concubine De's ear, and Concubine De nodded.The emperor on the side turned his head casually, met my gaze, then drooped his eyes, stared blankly, and landed on the thing I was holding.I couldn't help being stunned, but I reacted suddenly, reached out to pick up the box, and held it respectfully.When Kangxi saw me like this, he only raised his brows slightly, his eyes were piercing, and he looked at me with some meaning. I just felt the hairs all over my body suddenly stand up, coughed lightly, and dared not look at the emperor again Although there was a bit of self-deception on his face, he still bit the bullet and walked back.After finally walking to the edge of the crowd, he felt that there was no movement behind him, so he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, let out a sullen breath, and felt a lot more comfortable in his heart, and was about to walk away quickly, when he accidentally saw See the eighth and ninth elder brothers.Brother Jiu's face was as deep as water, and his gaze was on me coldly, but Master Ba had a playful expression on his face, and when he saw my gaze coming over, he smiled and nodded.I couldn't help shivering, and I was so busy that I lowered my head and walked away quickly.

The number of people on the road gradually became less and less. At this time, I felt that my body was sore. I wanted to go back to my camp to rest and recuperate, but then I remembered that Shisan seemed to have drunk a lot just now, so I stopped and thought about it. , or turned around to find someone to ask Doctor Lu where they were.

"Creak", "creak", all the way is the sound of my boots stepping on the snow. After a long time outside, even the thickest boots are a little bit cold.Elder Brother Thirteen's tent is right in front of me, I quickly walked over there, only a little eunuch was guarding the tent, seeing me, I hurriedly said hello, I asked him to get some honey water, he I went too.Thirteen's tent still smelled of medicine, so I took out a pill of the anti-alcohol medicine I had just asked for from Doctor Lu, and put it on the table beside the bed.I specifically asked, this is different from other hangover products, and it will not conflict with the medicine Thirteen and the others are taking.

Thinking about the way doctor Lu looked at me at that time, I shook my head subconsciously.well!Just think as he likes!Turning around and wanting to go out, he paused, afraid that Elder Brother Thirteen would not care, so he turned around and went to the desk beside him, wrote a few instructions for him, and grimaced habitually.After finishing the drawing, he couldn't help feeling a little regretful, it seemed a little frivolous, but he didn't bother to write it again. Thinking about his temperament, he probably wouldn't care, so he put it next to the pill and held it down with a cup.

As soon as I lifted the curtain, I couldn't help being startled. Not far away, the fourth elder brother, the thirteenth elder brother, and the fourteenth elder brother were walking over. They were stunned when they saw me. In a blink of an eye, another person appeared behind me. I took a closer look. , It was the tenth elder brother, and my heart sank.It was too late to go now, I secretly took a deep breath and stood there calmly.Thirteen walked over with a few quick steps, with a look of joy on his face: "Xiaowei, are you waiting for me?" I lightly blessed my body: "I just went to Doctor Lu to ask for a pill to relieve the hangover. , I will take it in a while, it will not interfere with the medicine you take."

Seeing me indifferently, Thirteen couldn't help being startled, Fourth Master and the others behind him had already walked up, although their gazes were different, they all fixed on me.Shisan thought for a while, probably thought it was because there were so many people here that I didn't have much to say, so I just smiled and was about to speak, but Brother Ten's voice sounded first, "Hey! It’s only the old Shisan’s role, Thirteenth Brother, you’re so lucky!” He took a step forward, but said to me, “You’re really biased, I only got a ball.” Elder Brother Shi curled his lips.Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Thirteen's face darkened, and he took a step forward, fearing that he would start a conflict with Elder Brother Shi, I hurriedly said: "Return to the master, this servant is just doing its duty."

"Really? Duty? Hmph! I also drank too much today, so give me a hangover ball too!" He said with a snort.I bowed my head and replied: "Yes, I will go find you." Just as I was about to lift my foot, he stretched out his hand, and I was startled when I heard the malicious voice of Brother Ten from above my head: "My lord is going now, I'm very dizzy right now." I gritted my teeth secretly, it seemed like last time, I came here deliberately to find trouble.snort!I sneered from the bottom of my heart, raised my head, and smiled.Elder Brother Shi was stunned, and couldn't help looking me up and down, I straightened my face, and said politely: "If the master is feeling dizzy right now, this servant has a cure for the hangover." Frowning at me.The fourteenth elder brothers on the side didn't understand why, they just looked at us, I cleared my throat: "Master, you just need to make a snowdrift and bury your head in it for as long as possible, then raise your head and look up to the sky. Shout three times, I’m not drunk! Drinking wine will wake me up immediately, it’s more effective than anything.” I explained to him very seriously, and nodded at the end to increase the effect of affirmation.Elder Brother Shi stood there stupidly, just staring blankly at me with a serious and polite face, obviously a little confused, I leaned down straightly and said, "If you guys are all right, the slaves will leave." Very good, No one spoke, and I didn't look at their faces, so I turned around and walked away.

After walking more than a dozen steps, as soon as they turned around a tent, they heard the laughter of Thirteen and Fourteen, mixed with fourth master's slight coughing, and tenth master's roar.I was so busy that I ran away, if I was caught at this moment, I would definitely not be able to eat well, and Fourth Master and Thirteen would not be able to say anything.

"Huh." I was panting heavily, I couldn't run anymore, and saw a big rock in front of me, so I hurried over and sat down, my body was hot, I wiped the sweat on my forehead with my sleeve, and when I remembered Brother Ten couldn't help bursting out laughing at the silly look just now, and felt a lot better.Some people say that if you want others to believe you, you have to act like you believe it first. It seems that I really have a talent for bluffing people, so I shook my head amusedly.Looking up and looking around, I seem to be a little lost again.I subconsciously touched the purse beside me, Master Shi was wrong, I didn't just ask Doctor Lu for a pill.

Turning around, I slowly found the right direction. The fourth master's camp was diagonally ahead, and Li Haier was at the door. When she saw me coming, she greeted me with a smile on her face. I was about to hand over the hangover medicine. Give it to him, but someone called him, so anxious, he ran over in a hurry, I opened my mouth to call, but he was gone.I was angry and funny, so I had to go into the tent by myself, put down my things, and accidentally saw the book I picked up in the morning, which was lying on the bedside, and I couldn't help but lean over to read it. It was "Shui Tiao Ge Tou" ... I unconsciously rolled the pages of the book with my hands, and I couldn't tell what it was like.

Suddenly a gust of cool wind blew in, and the curtain was lifted. After a pause, I put the book back and said with a smile: "Li Haier, when the fourth master comes back later, let him take this pill medicine Go down and take other medicine, the imperial doctor said..." I turned my head to look while talking, but I was dumb there...

Brother Fourteen's smiling face and eyes with completely opposite emotions suddenly appeared in front of me.My heart sank, and I subconsciously entered a state of preparation.Taking a deep breath, he stood up, held Rong Fu down, and said, "Your maidservant greets the fourteenth master, and the master is auspicious." She bent down and waited for a while, but she didn't hear any movement. Just wondering, a black shadow suddenly Covered over, I was startled, before I had time to react, there was a pain in my jaw, I was pinched by Brother Fourteen, and I was forced to look up at him.

The black eyeballs were full of storms, and the temples on both sides were throbbing. I felt like my mandible was about to be broken, and I couldn’t help but struggle hard. Seeing me like this, he seemed to be even more angry.

"Ah!" I couldn't help shouting out.It hurts me to death, what does this kid want to do?The fire in my heart surged up all of a sudden, and I stretched out my hand and waved it towards his face.Brother Fourteen reacted very quickly, he stretched out his hand to block it, and the other hand naturally loosened its grip on me. I was waiting for this moment, and I broke free from his hand, and then bit down hard .After a while, there was no sound. I subconsciously raised my eyes to see that Elder Fourteen was actually smiling.I was taken aback, and quickly let go, took two steps back, panting heavily, my uncontrollable heartbeat hit my chest one after another.

Elder Fourteen looked down at the wound on his wrist, and moved a few more times, thinking about something with no expression on his face.I just feel that all the blood seems to have flowed from the head back to the soles of the feet quickly, and the legs are as if filled with lead, frozen there, but there is no blood on the face, and there is only a "buzzing" in the head .What should I do about this? I covered my eyes with fire just now, and made such a fatal mistake, that is, when Master De and Fourth Master are in front of them, as long as they see such a big piece of tooth on the wrist of Fourteenth Elder Brother India, then I really have nothing to say.These days, only masters can kill people for no reason, and slaves can't touch even half of them even if they have great reasons.For a moment, the various countermeasures in my mind roared and tumbling like a roller coaster.But the result was the same, although we reached the end soon, but apart from screaming all the way, I didn't think of anything useful.

"Hum!" There was a soft sigh, and I was startled, only to realize that Brother Fourteen had walked up to me at some point, looking at me with a smile that was not a smile.I swallowed hard, well, a man can bend and stretch, let alone a little girl.Pull the muscles hard, make a smile, think about Han Xin, Han Xin!I just wondered whether the fourteenth elder brother would prefer to smack his head, or hug his thigh and cry bitterly...

"It's still the same hello."

"Ah?" I was shocked and looked at him dumbfounded. Could it be that the "General King" who has left a mark in history is a masochist?no?There was a sudden shiver in my heart, and I took two steps back unconsciously. Brother Fourteen didn't notice my dirty thoughts, but just took another step forward, bowed his head and said: "Every time I see you looking at me with business , the fire in my heart is going up and down." He said lightly.I couldn't help lowering my eyes, his tone contained too many things that I didn't want to touch at all, so I couldn't help frowning.I had nothing to say for a moment, although the atmosphere was awkward, but as soon as I opened my mouth, it was not embarrassment, so I made up my mind and just stood there quietly, praying in my heart, Brother Fourteen would not Besides, otherwise, I will only have...

"Xiaowei, do you understand?" Fourteen tilted his head to look at me, seeing his mischievous appearance, I felt relieved, he is the same age as Thirteen, and from a certain point of view, he is still a child Woolen cloth!but……

I raised my head with a smile, and said softly: "Yes! This servant understands what you mean, next time you get angry again, I will just bite you, and the master will not be angry." Elder Fourteen was stunned: "Haha! "Laughed loudly, I couldn't help being a little dazed, he and Thirteen are really similar!

"Hehe, you." He looked at me with a smile, but didn't say anything more. This was the first time I saw such a pure emotion from him.I'm also a little grateful in my heart, if he forces me again... I don't know if his net will be broken, but I am a fish, I will definitely end well today.Brother Fourteen thought about it, and was about to speak, but the curtain was lifted, and Li Haier poked his head: "Master Fourteen, Master Fourth is back." I paused, unable to tell whether I was happy or something else , Subconsciously, I always feel that when facing one of their brothers, it is easy to handle, but as long as they get together, then...

"Well, I got it." In the words, Elder Fourteen's appearance changed, and he returned to that tired and lazy look who didn't care about anything. In the blink of an eye, Fourth Master came in through the opened curtain, Seeing Elder Fourteen, he just nodded, and when he saw me in a blink of an eye, he was taken aback. His complexion was already bad, but now he looked even livid, and there was no sound from the tent for a while.

"Fourth Brother, my son just came back. I've had a bad stomach for the past two days. I remembered that you always have Qingwei powder here, so I came to look for some. Haier, did you find it for me? Huh?" Elder Fourteen smiled. say. "Yes! The servant just went to look it up." Li Hai'er hurriedly stepped forward and handed over a package of things. Brother Fourteen took it and put it in his arms without even looking at it.The fourth elder brother's complexion has eased, as if nothing happened: "Be careful, and eat some light food these two days! Don't let Er Niang worry about you." Fourteen smiled: "Got it. It's too late, you should rest early, I'll go too." Fourth Master nodded, Fourteenth Brother turned to look at me.

I really want to leave from the bottom of my heart, but even if I dig out the bear's heart yesterday and give it to me to eat, I don't have the guts to go out with Brother Fourteen in front of Fourth Master.He smiled wryly in his heart, but Fu still got down and bowed to the fourteenth elder brother.Brother Fourteen paused for a moment, then turned around and walked out of the tent, Li Haier was busy opening the curtain.At the end, he suddenly turned around, waved his wrist, and said with a smile: "Thank you!" He disappeared in a blink of an eye.

I really didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and I didn't even dare to look at Brother Si's face, it was very quiet in the tent.After a while, after thinking about it carefully, I mustered up the courage and said: "Hai'er, come here, this is the anti-alcoholic medicine, in a while you get some honey water, serve the master to eat, after a quarter of an hour, come again Take other medicine, understand?" I looked at the little eunuch, and I just wanted to finish my confession and leave here.Li Haier didn't look at me, but looked behind me.I was taken aback, what is this for?Just as he was about to open his mouth to ask him, he laughed and said, "Miss Xiaowei, you know the most about this medicine, and your mother still says that! I see that you are not at ease, so now, little one, go get honey water. You serve the master to eat, don't you have both?"

"What did you say?! Hey..." Before I could finish my sentence, the boy "Zhi Liu" disappeared in an instant, and there was no time to reach out and grab him back.Damn it!This is the second time today, and it threw me down and ran away again.The wishful thinking was beaten to pieces, I couldn't help rolling my eyes, took a few deep breaths facing the curtain, and then turned around.Fourth Master was leaning on the pillow leisurely, looking at me with a pair of black eyes.

I twitched the corners of my mouth, then stepped back respectfully, got a wet towel and wiped his hands and face, then poured some hot water on the smoking cage to rinse the cup, and poured some more from the dendrobium. The breast came out and passed it to the fourth elder brother to let him warm up.He didn't say anything, just took it and drank it slowly, coughing slightly from time to time, but his face also turned back a little, looking a little rosier.

Just thinking about what to say later, when the curtain was lifted, Li Haier came in.Carefully holding a silver bowl, seeing me turn around, hurriedly came over: "Miss Xiaowei, this is freshly blended wild honey, with some ginseng added, it's warm!" After speaking, he handed it to me.I took it, picked up the hangover medicine that I just put down, and handed it to Fourth Master.The fourth elder brother took it and squeezed it with his fingertips, but he didn't eat it. He just looked at me and didn't know what he was thinking.I watched from the sidelines and couldn't help wondering, why not eat it?Oh, suddenly understood, pursed his lips, took a step forward, and took the pill back from the fourth elder brother's hand, the fourth master was startled, a little confused.I thought to myself, maybe he is afraid of being poisoned?I grabbed a small piece from the pill, and wanted to put it in my own mouth, when I suddenly saw Fourth Master looking at me inexplicably, my heart was shocked, if this is really poisonous, then what should I do? ?I froze there for a while, seeing that the fourth elder brother had some interest in his eyes, but he looked like he was watching you to eat or not.I gritted my teeth secretly, since I was already riding a tiger... I cruelly put the medicine in my mouth and spat twice.Ho!My brows frowned all of a sudden, why is this medicine so bitter, I swallowed hard, but felt that even my throat was bitter, and I felt a little disgusted, but the corners of the fourth brother's mouth on the opposite side gradually curled up.Just as he was suffering, he caught a glimpse of the honey water in his hand, thought about it, and couldn't bear it any longer, so he forced a grin and said, "Fourth Master, this servant thinks, it's best to try this honey water. "The fourth elder brother was taken aback, turned his head and waved his hand. I was so busy that I took a sip and felt much better. As for the low laugh, I would rather pretend that I didn't hear it.

With a light hand, Fourth Master took the pill, put it in his mouth, chewed it a few times, then frowned, and swallowed it raw.I was so busy that I handed over the honey water, and the fourth master gulped it down.I took the bowl and put it aside, just thinking about how to say goodbye to him.He didn't open his mouth, and I really didn't know what to say. Seeing that the fourth master was still frowning, I felt alive, thinking that it would be a good idea to make excuses, so I raised my head and said softly: "This medicine is a bit bitter, how about it?" Is your servant going to get another bowl of honey water?" Fourth master waved his hand, and said lightly, "It's okay." Seeing me standing there awkwardly, he said, "It's much better than being buried in snowdrifts. "

"Ah!" I was startled, and then my face turned red all of a sudden, extremely embarrassed.The fourth elder brother smiled when he saw me like this: "The old ten is very angry today, blushing and thick necked." I couldn't bring my mobile phone here when I was here, otherwise, hehe.

Just as I was thinking happily, I felt a strong force coming, and my body tilted suddenly. When I realized it, I was already sitting in the arms of the fourth elder brother, and my eyes met.I suddenly wanted to stand up, only to feel that Brother Si was burning all over, and my hair seemed to be standing on end.But the fourth master hugged me tightly, and my hot breath kept spraying on my face and ears, and I was trembling uncontrollably.

"Xiaowei, it's so nice and warm when you smile."

Although my face was already very red, I still felt that it was hot again. I couldn't get rid of it for a while, so I had to bury my head, only feeling the fourth master's lips moving slowly on my hair: "May Huang Ama have noticed it today. Without you, even Old Ba and the others..."

I trembled, feeling a bucket of ice water being poured on my head, I couldn't help but look up at Fourth Master.Seeing the fear on my face, Fourth Master softened his face, and looked at me with black eyes, "Don't be afraid, I'm here!" I felt as if I had fallen into a porridge pot, surrounded by It was warm and sticky, and my consciousness gradually softened. I couldn't help but close my eyes, just feeling the kisses of the fourth elder brother constantly falling on my forehead, eyelids, bridge of the nose, and both cheeks... the thin and cool lips on my lips...

For a moment, only fourth master's coldness and heat surrounded me, my mind was dizzy and I couldn't think of anything.

"You are mine, only mine..." Fourth Master murmured something.When the voice really came into my ears, I suddenly woke up—Yinxiang, he said the same thing in the morning, and I...

I turned my head away suddenly, the fourth master was startled, seeing me like this, thought I was shy, reached out and raised my chin, saw me lowered my eyes, and said with a soft smile: "What's the matter, I didn't make out with the man Have you been? Huh?" My heart is like a boxer who has been knocked down to the ground, unable to move and lingering... It turns out that escaping is useless after all. I sighed and thought about Thirteen's promise this morning... I He clenched his fists secretly, and said in a low voice, "Yes! Except for Lord Thirteen."
