dream back to qing dynasty

Chapter 47
"Yes", there was a low reply from outside, and after a while, the curtain at the door was slowly lifted, and a burst of cold air unique to winter floated in, and I shivered slightly.

A piece of light blue long skirt was exposed first, but the afternoon sun made his figure slender and long. I stood aside with my head down, looking at the pair of soapy black boots, walking step by step. He came in, stopped a few steps away from my side, and stood upright.

The room was so quiet that you couldn't even hear the sound of breathing. The "fourth" Emperor Kangxi suddenly said, "Come and see, how well this calligraphy is written." "Yes", Fourth Master responded, stepped forward, and respectfully took the picture to read, the unfolded paper made a sobbing sound.

My heart was cold, I just felt that the blood all over my body seemed to be frozen, just now I felt that the questions asked by Emperor Kangxi were a bit strange, people couldn't figure out the depth of them, I knew clearly that the emperor would ask such questions, and the emperor was very impressed I know how I will answer, but why does he still do this.But now that I saw Fourth Master, I realized that it was a warning, a warning that cutting me would cause Fourth Master to bleed.

"It's really well written. It's tall and straight, very similar to..." Fourth Master paused, "It's very similar to Thirteenth Brother's brushwork."Emperor Kangxi laughed, fell silent, then turned his head casually and said to me, "I heard that you were burned a while ago, how are you doing now?" The emperor cares."

If fine hair grows on the heart, it must be standing on end by now. I can't help but smile bitterly. What else does the emperor not know? I don't know what fourth master thinks in his heart. Without the courage and guts to look up at him, he should understand everything in his heart, since he started wanting the throne...

Suddenly, I realized that with the sunlight coming in from outside the house, the thin shadow of the fourth master just blended with mine. It seemed that I could touch the silhouette of his face with just a slight movement of my fingers. A male voice sounded outside the house, "my son Yinxiang greets the emperor, the emperor is auspicious", my heart jumped, and Yinxiang came...

"Old Thirteen, come in." Kangxi replied with a smile, lifted the curtain, and a figure walked in quickly, looked around first, and met my eyes, so enthusiastic, worried, joyful, all kinds of Emotions poured out of me like a torrent, I couldn't help grinning, and nodded slightly at him.

"Humph" Emperor Kangxi chuckled twice, I froze, and hurriedly lowered my head, but Yinxiang took two steps forward, bowed and hit a thousand children, and called out with a smile, "Emperor Ama is auspicious".I took a peek and saw that Kangxi had a peaceful face, his eyes were not as bright as before, but he looked at Yinxiang with a gentleness, and then turned his eyes to the respectful fourth master standing aside.

I subconsciously followed his gaze to look at Fourth Master. There was no smile, no pain, no joy, no frustration on his slightly pale face, he just stood there quietly, without any expression... I tightly clenched fist.

I seem to have seen this kind of expression once before. It seemed that Xiaoqiu had no choice but to break up with her boyfriend who had been in love for almost ten years.But she herself said to the panic-stricken me with such a calm expression, "Xiaowei, have you ever heard the sound of heartbreak? I heard it. It's really loud."...

'Kama Kaska ...' I murmured in my heart, "Old thirteen, what happened last time you asked about you," Kangxi asked casually, "Emperor" As soon as the voice froze, I was stunned, and when I came back to my senses, I looked at Yinxiang with no joy just now, although I was still smiling, there was a bit of reluctance in my eyes.

I couldn't help frowning, Yinxiang quietly turned his eyes to look at me, and there was a bit of helplessness in his eyes... I pursed my lips, and looked at Kangxi in a blink of an eye, "Ho..." I was startled and quickly stopped turning Eyes, the emperor looked at me with a smile, but there was an incomprehensible light in his eyes.

"Concubine De reminded me a few days ago that after all these years, Yinxiang should have a wife, not to mention you haven't..." Emperor Kangxi pondered for a while, stretched out his hand to twirl his chin's beard. Fourth master's face became a little dignified.Yinxiang's thick eyebrows were tightly frowned, but he showed no surprise. The emperor had already mentioned this topic to him before.

'There are three ways to be unfilial, and having no descendants is the greatest', this sentence has crushed many women to death in the past, but I, who had nothing to do for so many years, walked over silently under the cover of Yinxiang.If the pressure wasn't on me, then Yinxiang would definitely... I couldn't help but forced a smile to Yinxiangji apologetically.

"Your Majesty" Yinxiang knelt down and said respectfully, "My son told you last time, little...she has not been in good health, and when she recovers, it will be... my son has not been in a hurry, so this matter something", "hmph, get up", the emperor interrupted him with a soft snort.Yinxiang froze, opened his mouth and wanted to speak, fourth master turned his head slightly and gave him a wink, Yinxiang closed his mouth and stood up.

I took advantage of the opportunity to look at Emperor Kangxi, he ignored Yinxiang but just asked me with a light smile, "If I give Yinxiang another marriage, what should you do?" Yinxiang shook his body and raised his head wanting When I opened my mouth, Kangxi glanced at him indifferently, seeing Yinxiang's pale face and lowering his head, my heart tightened.

"Well...why don't you talk?"The emperor kept staring at me, but my mind was in a mess, and I didn't know how to answer. I just looked at Kangxi's aggressive gaze, and subconsciously murmured, "Cry once, make trouble and hang yourself...", Emperor Kangxi Dazed, the hand that twisted his beard paused, but Yin Xiang, who had lowered his head, let out a chuckle, and looked up at me, the fourth master on the side didn't seem to hear it, but the corners of his mouth were barely visible Bend.

"Ahem, is this all right?" The emperor coughed slightly and looked at me with some interest. I blushed and cleared my throat in a low voice. Just don’t let yourself feel regret.”

"Oh...you fought for it, didn't you?" the emperor said thoughtfully, and suddenly smiled. I lowered my head, but unexpectedly met Yinxiang's smiling eyes, and my heart warmed... ... "Fourth, how is this matter going?" Kangxi suddenly asked the fourth master on the side, I was stunned for a moment, and raised my eyes to look over.

"Yes, my son has already asked Malhan, and he said that Furui was his brother in the third suit. His daughter was originally similar to his own daughter. Now that he has the grace of the emperor, he can't wait for it. It's all done," the fourth master replied in a deep voice, with no expression on his face, but Yin Xiang had a clear expression of ecstasy.

"Marhan", as soon as the name came to my ears, my legs couldn't help but swayed, and Yinxiang, who was kneeling, and the fourth master, who was answering with his head bowed, immediately turned their heads to look at me. I was so busy that I stood still, yes Yinxiang smiled and said it's okay, but fourth master didn't dare to look at it.

"That's good," Kangxi murmured, "Zhaojia's Yu Ning", I was taken aback, looked up, and saw the emperor and the fourth master's eyes were on me, and then I realized that I was busy I had to kneel down and said "yes" softly.

"I have already let Marhan, the Minister of the Household Department, recognize you as my daughter, and the household registration documents have been processed. You can go back to his mansion in a while. His wife has her own discretion." I have mixed feelings in my heart. Did I just become that Zhao Jiashi? This is really...

No matter what I thought in my heart, I still kowtowed, "Thank the emperor for the grace of God", Kangxi smiled slightly, and said softly, "I also miss you sincerely, as long as you don't forget what you said", I Fell on the ground and couldn't help shivering.

"Yinxiang" he called again, "My son is here" Yinxiang lowered his head, "I will now give you the daughter of Marhan, Minister of the Household Department, as the main wife, and after a good life, let's get married." "Thank you Huang Ama", Yinxiang responded loudly, his voice was full of joy.

Kangxi chuckled, and teased, "Marhan has several daughters, and you don't ask me which one I will give you." Yinxiang giggled, scratched his head but didn't say anything.With the sound of footsteps, fourth master walked over and said in a hoarse voice, "Congratulations, Thirteenth Brother", his voice was full of restrained emotion.

Yinxiang's face straightened, he didn't say anything, but straightened his body, and went on with a big ceremony, the fourth master grabbed him, "fourth brother, thank you", Yinxiang's voice full of emotion sounded, and he suddenly After a pause, "I'll trouble you again this time."

The fourth master smiled faintly, "What are you polite between brothers?" Seeing their hands holding each other, my heart felt hot...Suddenly I felt a gaze shot over me, and my back felt cold. When I looked up, But I only saw Emperor Kangxi looking at Fourth Master and Yinxiang with a gentle look, just like the kind fathers of ordinary people, but I felt even colder. Such a close brotherly relationship is what he wants to see, right? ,but me……

"Li Dequan", Kangxi called out, "The slave is here", Li Dequan who was waiting at the door came in, "You send someone to send Zhaojia back to the Shangshu Mansion first", "Zha", Li Dequan beat down with a thousand sons, Come to me with a smile all over your face, "Please come with me".

I nodded, turned around and went down to Kangxi Fu, he smiled and waved lightly, I took a deep breath, then turned around to go down to Fourth Master Fu, he raised his hand falsely, and said in a hoarse voice, "Don't be too polite." , Yin Xiang who was on the side came over early to help me up, I only felt his hands were hot.

Li Dequan drew up the curtain, Yinxiang sent me out, and whispered something in my ear, "Take care of yourself these days, take a good rest, let someone tell me what you want to eat, I will find a chance to see you", I She nodded with a smile, and whispered, "Don't worry, I never treat myself badly in this regard."

Yinxiang let out a burst of laughter, lifted my chin and looked at it twice, then suddenly pressed a kiss on my forehead, then turned and went back, I blushed, and couldn't help but cast a glance at Li Dequan who was waiting by the side, he He turned his face sideways, his eyes were looking into the distance, as if he didn't know anything, he didn't see anything.

I coughed dryly, and then he turned around and led me out with a smile. Every two steps, I heard Emperor Kangxi laughing in the room, "If you don't fear death, how can you know the joy of life? Well said, haha, fourth child, you can take it, it’s also a thank you gift from Yinxiang and the others.”

I didn't want to listen any more, I bowed my head and walked out quickly. Li Dequan was startled, and didn't ask any more questions, but only quickened his pace according to my speed.The scenery in the palace doesn't seem to have changed much, and I don't have the heart to think about anything, although I don't know what will happen in the Shangshu Mansion, but now I just want to get out of here quickly.

Li Dequan led me around a corridor, and I could already see the guards, and there were more eunuchs and maids coming and going.When I saw a stranger, I subconsciously wanted to cover my face, but on second thought, Li Dequan dared to lead me into the palace openly, so why would I bother to be "guilty as a thief".

The maids, eunuchs and guards all bowed and saluted when they saw Li De, and they didn't even glance at me, but I knew in my heart that everything now had fallen into the eyes of those who cared. Thinking of the sentence Kangxi said, "I was reminded by Concubine De...", I couldn't help but twist my heart.

After not walking far, I came to the back of a shadow wall, and the palace gate was in the distance. Li Dequan stopped and said, "You wait here for a while, and the servant will call someone to come here." He smiled and said, I ordered Nodding, "Thanks for your hard work", he bent over and said, "Don't be a slave to me", then turned and walked aside.

I stood against the screen wall for a while, maybe it was just too much stimulation, I just felt dizzy from the sun, I saw that Li Dequan hadn't come yet, there were some guards standing not far away, I looked around After a while, I saw a small door on the left, I walked over slowly, and sat down on the steps leaning against the jade gate.

The scenes just now were like a movie replay, constantly drifting through my mind. If I say that before, I only felt the threat of death looming.

Just as I was thinking, there was a sound of footsteps not far away. I guess it was Li Dequan who came back. I was about to open my eyes and call him, when suddenly a horrified and inexplicable voice rang out, but it seemed to be swallowed back by force. "you……"

I let out a sigh of relief. I had long thought that since I had made such an aboveboard appearance, the wave of acquaintances that would follow would definitely come... I slowly opened my eyes and looked over.

With a fair face, a slender figure, and handsome features, he is somewhat similar to me. It turned out to be him...Minghui, I haven't seen him for so many years. That naughty child has now become a man.

I shook my head helplessly in my heart. His expression seemed extremely surprised, but what surprised him was not that I was still alive, but that he could see me alive here.

I stretched out my hand to support the door and stood up slowly, thinking about how to speak, or pretending that I didn't know him at all... "Minghui, why are you still here, I didn't let you go..." A rough man The voice sounded and stopped abruptly, followed by the sound of footsteps.

I couldn't help but smile wryly, although I understand the truth that long-term pain is worse than short-term pain, but this kind of "short-term pain" one after another is really too much for people.Seeing Master Shi's mouth wide open, with his white teeth reflecting the sun, he suddenly felt like laughing, but in a blink of an eye he saw Master Eight and Master Jiu following behind him, but he couldn't laugh at anything.

After straightening my clothes, I walked down the steps slowly, and walked towards them step by step. When I got to them, I didn't raise my eyes, but got down steadily, and said respectfully, "My daughter Zhaojia Sir, please greet everyone."

After waiting for a while, there was no sound from the top of my head. I haven’t greeted you for a long time. My lack of exercise legs are already a little sore and numb. Get up and look up a little.

Ming Hui had already retreated behind Ba Ye and the others, his face was a little pale, but he just looked at me in surprise, seeing me raise my eyes to look at him, but turned my eyes away, I felt weird in my heart.Master Shi still opened his mouth wide, but kept looking me up and down, with a strange expression on his face.It's the first time I've seen such a complex expression on his face, but the only thing I can tell is that he is probably the only one among the few people in front of me who doesn't know or guess that I'm still alive.

Master Jiu didn't say anything, he just looked at me with his hands behind his back, his thin lips were tightly pursed, and his eyes were full of mischief.I subconsciously turned my gaze away, but I bumped into Ba Ye who was beside him. In those dark eyes, there were doubts, guesses, dodges, but also a faint sense of relief.

"Zhao Jiashi..." Master Shi snorted, and stepped in front of me in two steps. I subconsciously wanted to hide back, but I reacted immediately, so my body just swayed.Master Shi lowered his head slowly, he could hear his breathing, I couldn't help but tilt my head, frowned and looked at him, but was startled.

His face was filled with an expression similar to resentment, as if he had been deceived by the sky, I couldn't help being a little funny, if I really want to be resentful, it should be me, before I think about it, he sneered, " Zhao Jia's, whose family is it?"

From the corner of the eye, I saw Ba Ye seemed to want to say something, but Jiu Ye beside him coughed calmly, Ba Ye paused, lowered his eyes, but didn't speak again.I thought about it in my heart, thinking about what the emperor said just now, and said softly, "If you go back to the master, my father Malhan", the tenth master was stunned, the eighth master and the ninth master were also stunned, and Minghui was even more indifferent. face.

I know very well that Marhan, Minister of the Household Department, was originally the object they tried to win over, but now he has become "my" father. What does this mean, Eighth Master and the others can't understand it very well.Thinking of this, I can't help but admire Emperor Kangxi even more. This is the so-called emperor's mind. No matter what these sons think or do, I'm afraid they can't escape his eyes at all.

Calculating the time, there are probably less than five years before the emperor's death. It seems that Kangxi has already decided at this time who will inherit the Datong, and what he is doing now is nothing more than It's just paving the way for that person's future.

Looking at the eighth master, ninth master and tenth master who were wondering and guessing in front of him, a kind of ridicule and pity floated up. They are so busy in business, so what if they think up and down, but they are just stones removed on the way to the throne. ...

"Don't forget what you said today." The words that Emperor Kangxi said just now suddenly sounded in my mind, and I felt cold. Then I realized that I was also an unavoidable stone on that person's way to the throne, and I felt a wry smile , I can't see the future, but I still have the heart to pity others.

"Malhan's daughter... Humph", Master Ten's voice was completely full of malice, I straightened my back and looked at him, seeing that I didn't care, Master Ten twisted the corners of his mouth and said loudly , "Has anyone ever told you that you look very similar to a person, like a mold carved out, heh."

Master Eight and Master Nine frowned at the same time, but Master Ten had already spoken, but he couldn't take it back. Behind them, Ming Hui lowered his head deeply, unable to see his expression clearly.I closed my eyes, looked up at Lord Shi who was staring at me, and said lightly, "Yes", he was taken aback, and I smiled, "That's what the emperor said just now".

Before Tenth Master could say anything, Eighth Master on the side stepped forward and shouted, "Old Ten, stop talking." Tenth Master stared and wanted to speak, but Ninth Master gave him a wink with a cold look on his face , Master Shi paused, and swallowed his words abruptly, only to see his chest rising and falling, and the surroundings became quiet.

"Uh, my servant greets the eighth master, the ninth master and the tenth master." After a dry cough, Li Dequan's voice sounded, and I turned my head, only to see him walking back at some time, followed by a few eunuchs, Is bowing and saluting.

"Eunuch Li, please get up quickly," Eighth Master said gently, and stretched out his hand to help, Li Dequan took advantage of the situation to stand up, with a smile on his face. "My lords came so early, the emperor is still in the study, this servant will let people go and have a look, if I have free time, I will let you all know."

"I'm sorry to trouble you, father-in-law." Ba Ye smiled, and Jiu Ye on the side also smiled, "Eunuch Li, this time Ba Ye brought a lot of good wine when he came back. I'll send someone to send it to you later, eh," Li Dequan was busy I had to hit him again, "That slave really suffered." He said a few words politely, then turned around and said to me respectfully, "Then please come with me." I nodded.

Just about to take a step, Master Shi who had been silent all this time asked loudly, "Lao Li, where are you taking this girl?" Lord, they didn't speak.

"Hmm..." Li Dequan coughed twice, and replied in a respectful voice, "The servant sent Mrs. Zhao Jia home to be married according to the order." However, Li Dequan was not in a hurry, and replied with a smile, "Just now, the emperor has granted Zhaojia a marriage to the thirteen beauties by the emperor's decree. Choose a day to marry."

"Wow!" The sound of a metal appliance falling to the ground startled me, and everyone looked behind me, "What did you say?"A somewhat hoarse male voice sounded, I paused, and slowly turned my head, facing the pale and somewhat transparent face of Brother Fourteen...

"Crackling!" The coals in the copper basin beside the Kang burst from time to time. I covered up the ermine skin on my body, and after reading all morning, I felt my eyes a little sore.Stretching slowly, he put down the book and took the copper stick that was put aside, casually fiddled with the burning charcoal ash.

After calming down these few days, what I think of is either Yinxiang or the pale face of the fourteenth elder brother at that time. There are too many strong emotions in his eyes, so many that I can only turn a blind eye.I remember that the faces of Ba Ye and the others were also very ugly at that time. They thought they were unwilling because I married Yinxiang again and took advantage of us, so they didn't take it to heart.

But after two days of calming down and thinking about it carefully, I gradually realized that my "resurrection" was not only a warning from Emperor Kangxi to Fourth Master, but also to Eighth Master and the others. I couldn't help laughing at myself, as if I was A grenade that would explode at any time, but unfortunately the fuse was not held in his own hand, so he could only be waved helplessly by others.

"Sister Ning, are you there?"A crisp call sounded outside the door, my thoughts were confused, and I smiled helplessly. This voice is very familiar to me now. Ruixi Zhaojia, the youngest daughter of Lord Malhan, is also the only one who is not married. It should be the real Zhaojiashi...

Ever since I happened to meet me in her mother's room that day, she didn't know why she fell in love with me. She ran to me every day, pulling me to do this and that. Care about my intentional or unintentional indifference.

"You come in..." Before I finished speaking, the door creaked and was pushed open, and a small face with a sweet smile appeared first, "Your sister Ning, you are reading again, watch carefully It's important." I blinked, and heard the personal nurse behind her murmur a few words about rules, she stuck out her tongue at me and walked in with a smile.

"What are you going to do today?" I shook my head amusedly. This girl is full of energy. Although she is only 15 years old, she already looks like a beauty. Why should I find her a husband's family? In my eyes, she is just a little girl who loves to play and laugh.

"Sister, a friend I have known since I was a child is coming today, you and I can meet up later, okay?" She smiled and sat beside me, stretching out her hand to warm the fire.I raised my eyebrows. I accompanied her to paint, write, embroider, and twist rouge these days. I didn’t refuse, so I can find something to do and stop thinking about it. But when I go to meet outsiders, even if I have an aboveboard identity now , but there are still some...

Seeing that I frowned obviously because she didn't want to see her, she hurriedly said, "I'm back with Er Niang, my girlfriend is a nice person, gentle and good-looking, and you will see her often in the future, so Er Niang also said it’s okay.” I was taken aback, I will see you often in the future, what does this mean...

Before I could ask, Ruixi laughed and said, "By the way, I had someone set up a table to entertain her at Qinxiang Pavilion. After these two snowfalls, the plum blossoms there bloomed beautifully." Standing up, I stretched out my hand to pull me, "Sister, let's go and see what's going on first, pick two good ones and send them to Er Niang and the others, okay, let's go quickly", after finishing speaking, he dragged me repeatedly as if he couldn't wait. stand up.

I couldn't help but be pulled up by her, and she was about to be pulled out of the door, "Wait, you have to let me wear a big dress." She looked back at my waistcoat and smiled embarrassedly , the girl on the side brought the cloak smartly and came over to put it on for me. The nuns only laughed and said, the girl has a good temperament when she hears that the wind is the rain.

Ruixi didn't care, she pulled me and went out, a chill hit my face, and I tightened my neckline.Hearing her chattering and laughing along the way, I really have nothing to worry about, at least this little girl is still very innocent at this moment.

I just smiled and listened to what she said, while casually looking at the surrounding scenery, this is the first time I have been to the garden these days. Although the garden of the Shangshu family is not big, it can be seen that the thought has been put into it.Lord Malhan has only met me once. He is a shrewd but decent man, and he never mentioned my identity.He himself regards himself as a servant, and he is very respectful to me. Apart from thanking God, he only said some useless things like adding color to the Zhaojia family, and then asked his wife to take good care of me.

I couldn't help but think to myself, even if it doesn't fit with the history, the emperor will choose him with the style of this Lord Shangshu. He is smart but not talkative.Her wife, Usu, is a traditional woman who puts her husband first. I haven't seen her at those ladies' parties before. I think Malhan has already hinted or expressed that I am special, so she is also very polite to me. Taking care of everything is the best for food and clothing, which is not bad compared to her own daughter.

I know she has been busy helping me prepare the dowry. In fact, most of those are rewards from the emperor and arranged by the fourth master. The fourth master... After that day, I ordered myself not to think about him again. Emperor Kangxi has given it to me. He made a clear choice, and there is only one chance like this. He has no way to object, and he doesn't want to object.I couldn't help but smile wryly in my heart, I don't know when, there is only bitterness between me and Fourth Master, it should be since he made that choice...

"Sister" Ruixi tugged at my sleeve, "Why did my face suddenly turn pale? Is it too cold?" "Ah," I forced a smile, "It's a little bit, it should be here soon." I took advantage of the situation and changed the subject .

Ruixi didn't delve into it, but just reached out and pulled me to speed up my pace, "Look, just turn around the rockery ahead, the brazier there has already been set on fire, let's go quickly", I smiled, "Okay ", looked up to see a rocky rockery is close in sight.

"By the way, Sister Ning, let me tell you, you will be surprised when you see her in a while." Just after turning around the rockery, Ruixi tilted her head slightly and smiled at me, and I smiled indifferently, "Yes Well, why is that, does she have two noses or three eyes, eh?"Ruixi chuckled.

I was a little funny thinking about who else can surprise me now, it’s good if I don’t scare others, suddenly I feel that although I’ve lived in hiding all these years, now there are so many people playing with me with my eyes open The nonsense game also feels good. A feeling of wanting to sneer came to my mind, and I lightly pursed the corners of my mouth.

Ruixi giggled for a while, and then said, "Sister, that's not true, but you will know her appearance when you see her. She is five or six points like you." I paused, "What did you say?" Ruixi saw I stopped, and I didn't know why I stopped.

"Really, that's why I was a little surprised when I saw you in Erniang's house that day. She is the second lady of Mrs. Yinglu's family, and now she is the side Fujin in the fourteenth master's mansion. I heard that the fourteenth master treats her very well." , halfway through speaking, Ruixi suddenly took two steps towards me, and said in a low voice, "Do you know, I heard that her elder sister is the original side Fujin of the Thirteenth Master, but it seems that she died of illness, and her family I don't want anyone to mention it, I only found out after eavesdropping on Er Niang and the others." After she finished speaking, she still looked around.

I just felt bursts of cold sweat breaking out from my palms, "Sister Ning, are you okay?" Ruixi touched my shoulder lightly, "Ah..." I subconsciously shook my head and swallowed dryly .Seeing that I was in a daze, she rolled her eyes, and suddenly smiled as if she understood something, "You are not afraid that she will come to find you bad luck, don't worry, she and that sister are not from the same mother, and the relationship is weak. I haven't heard much from her."

Seeing Ruixi's reassuring look on you, I smiled dryly, and I just thought, I'm not afraid that Minghui will come to trouble me for the word "sister", I'm afraid she is because of that "Mingwei"... just thinking , I heard Ruixi yell softly, "Hey, why is she here, and no one came to report, these slaves"...

I lowered my eyes and took a deep breath silently. I raised my head and looked forward. A plain white figure was standing in the pavilion in front, as if looking at Meilin under the pavilion. Hearing the movement behind her, she slowly turned around. Looking around, I can't see the expression clearly from a distance, but the pale face on the [-]th day clearly floated in front of my eyes...

Ruixi quickened her pace and walked forward, already greeted with a smile, I followed unhurriedly, I could vaguely guess her reason for coming, and I knew that sooner or later I would meet her face to face, and I understood better With her current status, she doesn't dare to do anything to me, and she insists on seeing me because she is unwilling.

"Sister Hui, when did you arrive, why didn't anyone tell you?" Ruixi stepped up to the pavilion, reached out to hold Minghui's hand, "Oh, it's so cold."Minghui smiled softly, "I have sent people to look for you. I just saw that the plum blossoms here are good. I just stopped to take a look. I didn't expect you to turn upside down."

"That's really a coincidence. By the way, how are you, how is the child, and..." Ruixi kept asking questions like a machine gun, and Minghui just smiled, occasionally answering a few words in a soft voice.I stood on the steps, looking at her gentle smile, I just felt that she really looked like me when she smiled.

"This is..." Minghui turned her eyes to me and asked with a smile. She looked like she didn't know me at all. My heart turned cold, and Ruixi turned her head, "Oh , You forgot to talk to you, sister Ning, come here quickly."

I smiled lightly, took two steps forward, and stood in front of Minghui and looked directly at her. Her eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, concealing some unknown emotions.Seeing me looking at her like this, she was slightly taken aback, looked at me, forced a smile, and turned her eyes away unnaturally.

Ruixi on the side smiled at me, and said crisply, "Sister Ning, this is Fang Fujin from the Fourteenth Lord's house, Yalarta Minghui, look, does she look a bit like you?" Turning her head and smiling at Minghui, "Sister Hui, this is my sister who is about to marry, Yu Ning, how old is she than you."

"Minghui has met Sister Yuning", Minghui slowly blessed me, I stretched out my hand to help me, and said lightly, "You are welcome to side Fujin, I don't dare to be a sister", Minghui Hui paused, straightened up, lowered her eyes and said softly, "Minghui felt very close to her sister when she saw her, so naturally she called out like that, you don't mind."

Seeing that she even omitted the word Yu Ning, I couldn't help but frowned slightly. Before I could speak, Ming Hui turned her head and smiled at Rui Xi, "Didn't you just say that you wanted to pick plum blossoms for your mother-in-law?" Go, I’m not feeling well, so I won’t go down with you, I’ll talk to my sister here and wait for you.” Ruixi was taken aback, looked at her and then at me, I nodded slightly, her eyes turned away Turning around, he suddenly smiled, "That's fine, you guys talk first, I'll be fine in a while", then turned around and took Cong Ren to the forest below.

For a moment, there was silence in the pavilion, only Ruixi's laughter came from time to time under the pavilion. Looking at Minghui who was standing quietly, she didn't speak, and I didn't want to talk, so I walked two steps to the door. Looking down from the side of the pavilion, Ruixi's red cloak is particularly conspicuous... "I heard that my sister is going to marry the Thirteenth Lord. From now on, she will be the wife of the Thirteenth Beizi Mansion, and will be the main wife. Congratulations." , Minghui's gentle voice came from behind.

In the main room, I rubbed my face, turned around and looked at Minghui who was staring at me, and smiled slightly, "Thank you, Ruixi said that you are pregnant, I also congratulate you here."Minghui's smile froze, she lowered her eyes, and smiled helplessly, "It's nothing, there are already a lot of elder brothers in the master's house."

After finishing speaking, she raised her eyes to look at me, with envy, helplessness, fatigue, and a trace of gloomy emotion that she tried to hide, "The Thirteenth Lord is an infatuated person, and he has been single-minded for so many years. No matter what happened before, sister You are a blessed person after all."

I felt a little blocked, her words were gentle, but my words sounded awkward, and I didn't know what to say, so I could only twitch my face bluntly.She paused, then suddenly lowered her head and stroked her stomach, her face became more gentle, "I don't think so much anymore, people have to learn to be content, know how to keep their duty, as long as you keep what you have, you can't extravagantly expect others , Only in this way can we have a good life, don't you think?" She raised her head and looked at me, her mouth curled up, her eyes aggressive.

I was startled, what did she mean by that, is there something in her words?Squinting my eyes, I felt the boredom that I had been suppressing all this time rushing to my head. Just as I was about to open my mouth, a clear male voice suddenly came in from outside the booth, "Humph, that's right, this is a man's life. You have to learn to keep your duty"...
