dream back to qing dynasty

Chapter 52 The Edict

My heart skipped a beat, I never thought it would be this child, who would have asked him to come, Niu Hulu, Nala, Concubine De, or him... Faces quickly slid across my mind, my eyes But it landed on the face of Fourteenth Elder Brother, his expression was as smooth as silk, without a trace of emotional wrinkles, he just stared indifferently at the flames that kept jumping in the brazier.

"Huh", he suddenly snorted very low, turned his head and glanced at me, a trace of sarcasm or self-deprecation flashed in his clear eyes, and before I could distinguish clearly, a bright smile appeared on him I was taken aback, and Brother Fourteen raised his voice and said, "It's Hongli, come in quickly."

Seeing the joy on his face, I couldn't help sighing lowly, whether it's the fourteenth elder brother, the eighth master, or even the fourth master and Yinxiang, it seems that everyone is carrying several The mask, when needed, can be taken out and attached to the face at any time. Over time, whether it is laughing or crying, it is estimated that even they themselves will not be able to tell the real from the fake.

For some reason, I suddenly remembered the days when I was just married to Yinxiang, newlywed Yaner, he was very close to me at that time, I asked him half-jokingly, what is so good about me.Yinxiang thought for a long time with eyebrows drawn and mouth flattened, and then said with a reluctant expression, you are fine with everything.

I laughed out loud at the time, patted him on the shoulder and said, it’s okay if you can’t figure it out, don’t be so painful and embarrassing, I won’t divorce you because of this.Yin Xiang burst out laughing, but didn't say anything, just looked at me with a smile, but after a while, he suddenly said, you laugh as you laugh, and cry as you cry, that's the best way.

I didn't understand it at the time, and I laughed and said that he even played charades when he praised people, but Yinxiang just smiled, didn't say anything more, and talked about other things casually, so he bypassed the topic, but now thinking about it, "Laughing is Laughing, is crying just crying..." I murmured.

I couldn't help but look at Elder Fourteen's smile again. For some reason, the more I got to know him, the more I felt that he was just a poor man. When the door curtain was lifted, a gust of cold air rushed in. The figure walked in with steady steps.

When he reached Fourteen, he stopped, "Hongli greets Uncle Fourteen, Uncle Fourteen is auspicious", Hongli said loudly, and bent over to greet him again. "Hehe" Fourteen smiled, stretched out his hand and pulled him up, "Get up quickly, show Fourteenth Uncle, I haven't seen you for a while, I heard that the former Grand Tutor praised you, and the Emperor was very happy to hear that Woolen cloth".

Hongli smiled and wiped his nose, "Yes, the Taifu said that my handwriting is not bad, and it is a bit like Uncle Fourteen's style before you." "Really?" Fourteen laughed. , the writing is similar, hurry up tomorrow, you write an article, and show it to Fourteenth Uncle, um". "Okay," Hongli replied loudly.

I stared blankly at the big and the young, the two uncles and nephews. Although I had never seen Shisi's gentleness and kindness before, it was not unexpected, but Hongli's slightly coquettish childish tone made me feel a little awkward.I saw him several times before, and every time he was steady and polite, his mature appearance and calm eyes made people feel that he was not a seven-year-old child.But today, he looks like a seven-year-old child, but it makes me feel even more uncomfortable...

Before I could figure it out, Hongli leaned towards me as soon as he turned around, and called out "Aunt Thirteen" sweetly, "Ah," I subconsciously replied, and Hongli was half leaning on the bed. Beside me, I reached out and gently touched Qiang'er's sleeping face, and said in a low voice, "My sister is asleep"?
"Yes." I nodded with a smile, and the corners of my eyes inadvertently glanced at the thoughtful eyes of the fourteenth elder brother, and my heart skipped a beat. After calming down, I asked with a smile, "You How come?"Hongli grinned, "A little eunuch just came back and said that you are coming, but after waiting for a long time without seeing you, the empress asked why you didn't come. Fujin and Er Niang were afraid that you would get lost, so they wanted to come out and look for you by themselves. I begged for my life."

I couldn't help laughing, "Your mother, rest assured that you will come out alone"?Hongli stuck out his tongue, "I am followed by a bunch of eunuchs and nuns, besides, the main show just started, Fujin and the others couldn't go away, master Yi and several other empresses are also there, there are people in the room, and third brother I’m with Ama, I’m not here, so I’m here.” After speaking, he looked down at Qiang’er again.

"Oh", I nodded, and stretched out my hand to touch his red face that was scorched by the fire at the moment, "Thank you for your hard work." After a pause, I asked indifferently, "Today Couldn't the main show be "Full Bed Wat" or something?" Hongli was taken aback, looked up at me, and asked stupidly, "How do you know?"I smiled slightly, "If you could sing martial arts like "Picking the Pulley", you wouldn't come out to find me."

"Hey", the fourteenth elder brother who had been silent all this time burst out laughing, I subconsciously glanced at him, the warm eyes really looked like him... I turned my eyes back in a hurry, Hongli's face next to him But it became more and more rosy. He called "Aunt Thirteen" like a twisted hip, and I smiled slightly.

"Okay, the play has started, you and Hongli should go back quickly, it's not good to make the empress and the others wait in a hurry," Elder Fourteen said to me with a smile.He moved his shoulders, stood up and asked again, "Hongli, have you, Ama, and the others gone to the Wanshou Pavilion?" Hongli hurriedly stood up straight, and replied respectfully, "Yes, Ama and everyone The uncles have already passed away, and when my nephew came out, I met Uncle Nine, who is instructing someone to find you and Uncle Ten." "Well," Elder Fourteen nodded, "Who is waiting outside?" He Yang asked a question.

"If you go back to the Fourteenth Master, you are a slave, Qin Quan'er." A clear-sounding voice sounded, and I clenched my fists subconsciously. Qin Quan'er is the person next to the Fourth Master, no matter who sent him Yes, I must know that I am with the fourteenth brother. If someone with a heart sees it, rumors will probably spread all over the sky. Although at this moment, the number of people in the palace who know about this matter cannot be counted with a pair of hands and two feet. , but things that should be covered up still have to be covered up.

As soon as the fourteenth elder brother heard his voice, he looked down at me first, and the mocking color in his eyes became stronger. He twisted the corners of his mouth, squinted at me, and said to the outside, "Come in and help me. Clean it up", "Zha", Qin Quan'er responded, lifted the curtain and came in, greeted quickly first, then walked over and stood beside me.

I tidied up Qiang'er a bit, and was about to stand up, "Ouch", I couldn't help but let out a low cry, and I had been concentrating on dealing with the fourteenth brother, but I didn't realize it, now my son wants to stand up Only then did I feel that my legs were numb.I swayed, and I sat back on the stool. Hongli and Qin Quaner on the side hurriedly reached out to help me, but the fourteenth elder brother behind them slowly withdrew the hand he wanted to extend, and clenched tightly. fist.

"Fu Jin, let the servant come," Qin Quan'er said with a smile, "You have held Xiao Gege for so long, and your arms are sore." Slave, come, give it to me." Qin Quan'er half bent down, carefully picked up Qiang'er, and held the child in his arms lightly and firmly.

As soon as he turned around, he coughed softly at the door, and when the curtain was raised, a young eunuch's face was revealed at the door, with fine eyebrows and sharp eyes, although he had never seen him before, but he could appear here, he was naturally "one of his own".Qin Shun'er turned to go out, Shisi glanced at me and Hongli, turned around, and walked out with great strides.

"Aunt Thirteen, I'll help you up", Hongli on the side said softly, I subconsciously glanced at him, Hongli smiled at me, and there was no coquettishness in those very familiar dark eyes It was soft, but filled with calmness, I couldn't help but smiled wryly in my heart, didn't say anything, just stood up with a little strength.

Seeing me standing up, Hongli didn't let go. He put his little hand into my hand and held mine firmly. No matter what, this warm little hand was still a child's hand. I clenched it slightly His, Hongli raised his head and grinned at me, a childlike smile flashed by.

As soon as I went out, the cold wind blew in my face, I couldn't help stretching out my hands to tighten the neckline, first glanced at Qin Quan'er who was hugging Qiang'er tightly, he nodded to me, his eyes drifted, I followed his Looking around, I realized that the fourteenth elder brother hadn't left yet, and was standing at the gate of the courtyard with his hands behind his back, looking up at the sky, wondering what he was thinking.

Hearing the sound of us coming out, Fourteen slowly turned around and looked at me quietly. The cold moonlight shone on his face, making his face a little pale, and he hesitated to speak in his eyes.I sighed softly in my heart, no matter whether he is good or bad, regret or not, I have no way to respond in the slightest, even if it is hatred or anger.

While lowering my head in deep thought, I suddenly felt that the atmosphere around me was a bit strange. When I looked up, I found that Shisi was standing in front of me at some point, but his eyes were looking behind me, and the expression on his face became a little strange, jealous, disdainful, mad Ao... All kinds of emotions suddenly appeared on his face, making his face look a little distorted.

I couldn't help but wanted to take a step back, to avoid the sudden hostility on his body, "Ah" I groaned, my left hand was tightly held by Fourteen, and I pulled it out subconsciously As I spoke, Shisi's hand was like cast iron, firmly encircling mine.

Qin Quan'er's eyes widened and his mouth was half-opened, but he couldn't say anything, but the little eunuch behind him lowered his head and couldn't lower his head any more. He felt that Hongli's hands became hot and humid, but I But I couldn't tell whether it was my sweat or his.

"You..." I murmured my lips, but for a moment I didn't know what to say, I just tried my best to break free, even though Shisi's grip was tighter.After a while, my wrist felt a bit tingling and painful, my heart felt hot, and I was so angry that I was thinking whether to give him a slap on the wrist or kick his knee, when Fourteen suddenly lowered his head, and his lips parted. My ears seemed to be only half an inch, and a gust of hot air gushed over.

I was shocked, but before I could react, Elder Fourteen said in a low voice, "You want to bite me again, don't you?" The face was still blushing uncontrollably, Fourteen chuckled lightly, and asked again, "If something happens to me, will you still not come to save me?"

I was stunned, and I couldn't help turning my face to look at Brother Fourteen. He was smiling, a little foolishly, but his hands were shaking, slightly weak, but they were indeed shaking... This trembling made me already The word "yes" came to his lips, but he couldn't say it.

My lips trembled subconsciously, but I still didn't say the word. I exhaled and could only turn my head away.Suddenly, I felt that Shisi's hands stopped shaking, but a warmth and softness covered my palms.When I looked down, Elder Fourteen had already raised his head, grinning, his smile was full of joy, his white teeth were shining brightly, "Take care", he whispered, as if saying goodbye, I couldn't help being taken aback, After speaking, he straightened up, took a deep look behind me, turned around and walked away with a big smile.

I was dizzy for a while, I looked at the palm of my hand subconsciously, the warm touch of Brother Fourteen's lips seemed to be still on it, and I couldn't help rubbing it hard.Qin Quan'er, who had been stunned by the side, coughed dryly, "Fu Jin, it's getting late, shouldn't we..." He put on a businesslike look, and the little eunuch obediently didn't look up, so I nodded , "Let's go", Qin Quan'er bowed slightly, and whispered something to the little eunuch, but his eyes couldn't help but drifted behind me.

I couldn't help frowning, and when I was about to take a step, I realized that Hongli had been silent all the time. He turned his head slightly and didn't know what he was looking behind, "Hongli", I called him softly, "Oh, Aunt Thirteen , let's go, it's so cold here", the child seemed to realize it all at once, seeing me looking at him, he hurriedly pulled me away.

I didn't say anything, but I vaguely guessed why Hongli and Qin Quan'er appeared here, my heart was hot, but I followed him out naturally, Qin Quan'er walked in the lead, the little eunuch Hold a palace lantern and follow beside me.When I arrived at the gate of the courtyard, I stepped out and finally couldn't help but glanced back. Behind the pillars of the house, a sky-blue skirt fluttered in the wind, and then disappeared in an instant...

An inexplicable feeling instantly filled his heart, like carbon dioxide, colorless, odorless but heavy.I sped up my pace a little, but felt my hand tighten, and looking down, Hongli was being staggered by my sudden acceleration.

But he didn't say a word, and tried to speed up his pace without raising his head. I couldn't help but feel a little guilty, and hurriedly slowed down. Hongli raised his head and looked at me if he felt it. Seeing that I was looking at him, he grinned , a mouthful of fine white teeth is also shiny, I can't help but smile back at him.

"Fujin, just a short walk will be the Wanzi Building. Look..." Qin Quan'er slowed down a little, turned to me and asked me respectfully. I rubbed my eyebrows with my hands while walking. No matter whether it is a man or a woman, people with swords and swords in the open and in the dark always feel that if things go on like this, people will be short-lived.

"Do you know where your thirteenth master is?" I asked in a low voice. Qin Quan'er was taken aback, and then glanced at the little eunuch walking beside us. Seeing Qin Shun’er’s father-in-law going to the stage with the hand stove of the Thirteenth Master, he reckoned that the Thirteenth Master should be there.”

"Oh..." I responded slowly, and Qin Quan'er said cleverly, "Fu Jin, do you want to invite the Thirteenth Master over?" , I just said that Qiang'er may have caught the wind and has a little fever, I will take her back first, and I will come back to say hello to the empress, there is Thirteenth Master, you see that he is free, just tell him."

"Ah, yes", Qin Quan'er was taken aback, and hurriedly replied, he naturally knew how to answer, and I don't care if Concubine De believes it or not, anyway, she understands the purpose of letting me come into the palace today, since the emperor has already After seeing our mother and daughter, it doesn't matter whether she sees or not.

Just as I was thinking, there was a sudden flash of light not far away, it should be someone walking this way, before I could speak, Qin Quan'er turned back to me with a smile and said, "Fu Jin, after walking for so long, what should I do?" Don't rest." I couldn't help but smile and nodded.Qin Quan'er turned around and led us to the side. There was a small porch half-hidden by some strange-shaped rocks. Under the darkness of night, we couldn't really see it clearly.

As soon as I stepped onto the porch, I heard a burst of charming laughter. I couldn't help but pause, and then I sat down slowly, but Hongli didn't sit down, but half leaned beside me.Listening to the laughter that I only listened to for one night but I will never forget it, Fujin's beautiful face unexpectedly appeared in my mind.

Ba Fujin's charming and unquestionable voice is getting closer and closer, and the chatter is nothing more than talking about women's trivial matters, "Fujin, let's go quickly, the good master has already accompanied Yifei to Wanzilou", A gentle voice sounded, "huh", Ba Fujin snorted heavily, "I see, you are so impatient, even if your mother-in-law has a strong temper, you won't be so frightened." Ba Fujin said As soon as he exited, there was no sound around him.

I stroked Hongli's smooth and soft braids lightly with my hands, and I could roughly guess that the gentle voice just now should be that Jiufujin who has rarely seen each other. I have met her twice before, and she looks gentle and silent, with few words. woman.

The one who dared to blatantly say that Concubine Yi has a bad temper in the palace, except for the emperor, is probably the eight lucky ones. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but smile bitterly. If I said it this way, she was quite polite to me in the eighth master's mansion. .

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard someone outside coughing a few times, and said with a smile, "I heard that today's play is good, that Hongjiaoer is no worse than the previous Zhao Fengchu, and his voice is very clear." The crowd just echoed twice, Then I heard Ba Fujin snort, "I am annoyed when I hear the names of these actors, there is nothing good about it. Speaking of that Zhao, I think of that woman..." Before she finished speaking, she swallowed again.

There was another embarrassing silence outside, I couldn't help but burst out laughing, this Fujin is really difficult to serve, others helped her change the subject, but she didn't give her any face at all, I can't blame her natal family when Ba Ye lost power. Get away from her.Then I remembered what she said just now, that woman, could it be that...

With the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer, the faint scent of powder on the bodies of a group of noble ladies also drifted over with the wind, and I couldn't help wrinkling my nose.Just at that moment, the wind became stronger, and I was about to turn my head to see if Qiang'er would be cold, when I heard a eunuch shout, "Who's there"?
I turned around and looked, only to find that the lantern half-covered in the little eunuch's hand was suddenly shaken by the wind, and a sharp-eyed person saw the light and shadow flickering.I couldn't help frowning, no matter what, I don't want to see the tigress Ba Fujin at this moment.

Before I could come up with a countermeasure, Hongli had already stood up straight, smiled at me, bowed again, turned his head and said loudly, "It's me", and walked out after speaking, Qin Quan'er raised his chin at the little eunuch beside him, and the little eunuch hurriedly chased him out.

"My nephew greets my eighth aunt and ninth aunt." I heard Hongli greet Bafujin and Jiufujin respectfully, "Oh, it's Hongli. It's dark, why are you hiding there? Just take it with you." This is a little eunuch"?Ba Fujin obviously didn't expect it to be Hongli, so he paused before speaking.

"Yes, my nephew just got bored listening to the opera, so I took Xiao Liu out, but I was a little anxious, so..." Hongli replied in a childish voice. "Humph" Ba Fujin gave a coquettish laugh disapprovingly, and the women on the side also laughed out, "Hongli, Fujin and your mother are all in Wanzilou, right?" Jiu Fujin asked with a smile, "Yes, Together with all the masters," Hongli replied loudly.

"It's so cold, so don't run outside, be careful of freezing, and let your mother worry, go back with Aunt Jiu, I have something good for you to play with, okay?"Jiufujin's gentle voice sounded very comfortable, not fake. Jiuye's gloomy face appeared in front of me unexpectedly, I couldn't help shaking my head, I never thought that he married such a gentle woman, But that gentle and refined Eighth Master is...

"Okay, let's go quickly, weren't you very anxious just now, and now you're talking endlessly with a child again." Ba Fujin interrupted Jiu Fujin impatiently, and walked away after finishing speaking. The child knocked on the bluestone floor very loudly. "Sister-in-law eight..." Jiufujin murmured, although I couldn't see it, I could still imagine Jiufujin's embarrassing face, but Hongli answered "Okay" crisply, and then asked what good things to give him , somewhat saved some of Jiufujin's face.

Hearing her laughing words, I led Hongli and a group of people to chase after her. The voices got farther and farther away. I sat quietly for a while, then stood up and said with a smile to Qin Quan'er, "Let's go. Go." Qin Quan'er nodded, and quietly followed behind me.

Although there is no lighting from the lanterns, the faint brilliance from all around can still make people see the road clearly. The blur brought by the darkness gives people a feeling of being protected, and my heart slowly relaxes. Come down, in this palace, it has been a long time since I felt so calm.After turning around a gazebo, Qin Quan'er hurried up two steps, and said in a low voice, "Fu Jin, I'm going to ask someone to prepare the car right now, you wait here for a while, and I will order someone to go to the side of the Thirteenth Master." General report".

I stretched out my hands to take Qiang'er, smiled and said "thank you", Qin Quan'er didn't say anything more, just slapped Qian'er, turned around and walked to the right.I looked at Qiang'er's sleeping familiar face, couldn't help smiling, and lowered my head to kiss her lightly.

Looking up and looking around, it seems that there is still some distance from the Wanzi Building, but the babbling and babbling of opera can be heard very clearly, but it is too dark to tell where it is.After thinking about it, I turned around and took two steps, half leaning and half sitting under the steps of the pavilion, which is just leeward of the wind, and even if there are people coming and going, I can see him, but he can't see me.

Sitting alone for a while, I felt more and more cold. I hugged the child tightly and hummed silently in my heart, "Because of the cold wind blowing for you...", a soft footstep came, and I listened attentively. It wasn't the bottom of the flowerpot but the sound of boots. It should be Qin Quaner's return, but when I listened again, it seemed that it was coming from a different direction.

I kept my mouth shut, and just sat quietly and waited. If I had to say that the second lesson I have learned in the palace these years is, no matter what sounds you hear, please don't stand up and walk casually, otherwise you may step on thunder.

"Ninth Brother, why did you come here? I've been waiting for you for a long time. Is there any movement from the old man?" Tenth Master's deliberately low voice came suddenly, and my body froze unconsciously.

I heard Shi Ye muttering, "This old fourteenth is really true. At this juncture, he disappeared in a blink of an eye. Mynah has already sent someone to look for it. Why can't the fourth one take the lead this time?" .

"Humph", Master Ninth snorted softly, "I'm afraid it's a hero who is saddened by a beautiful woman", the meaning of the words was two points of disdain, but it was more cold, my heart was cold, but Master Ten's voice was stagnant, After a while, he said gruffly, "You mean he went to find...", "Okay." Master Jiu interrupted him, "Go back and tell me if you have anything to say, Zhang Tingyu and the others were announced just now. When I was sending the imperial doctor out, I just happened to meet, let's go to the starling to 'listen to the opera' first, you have been out for too long, how many people are staring at you."

"Oh", Shi Ye replied in a daze, and I sat there calmly, but I could guess that they were talking about the Western Expedition again, and guessed that Jiu Ye had just returned from Kangxi's place.At this time, Kangxi announced the chief assistants to go in, naturally to discuss the biggest defeat since the Xi Dynasty, and it is no wonder that all the elder brothers are ready to move. With a million soldiers in hand, it is equivalent to holding more than half of the royal power. What's more, Kangxi did not establish a prince again. Whoever can lead troops can naturally see the so-called "sacred will".

"Hum..." I couldn't help but snorted in a low voice, it was because of the miscalculation of this "sacred will", that the eighth master and the fourteenth elder brother were defeated like a mountain. "Who's there?" Master Jiu suddenly snarled, my heart jumped, and I almost cried out. I didn't move or make a sound. How did he know that I was here? Hearing a little eunuch's terrified voice, "Slave Liu Gui to Lord Ninth, Lord Ten please be well."

I let out a breath slowly, startled me, and thought... "Well, what are you doing here, you are a ghost", Tenth Master asked carelessly, "If you come back to Master, the servant will come and find Thirteen Fujin , the car she wants is ready"...

Before the little eunuch finished speaking, I had already stood up quietly, and walked towards the pavilion step by step with my waist bent. The so-called death and rebirth, Jiuye and the others would never have expected that I would not dodge or dodge, Instead, go to the most conspicuous place.

"Ninth brother", tenth elder brother called out in a low voice, "Okay", Jiu Ye gave him a light drink, paused, and said to the little eunuch, "We didn't see any thirteen Fujin, who told you Here," the little eunuch replied respectfully, "it's Eunuch Lu in the womb of the virtuous master. He said that Little Gege was not feeling well. Thirteen Fujin had to go back to the mansion first, so he ordered his servants to come to Cuiboting to meet him. The father-in-law didn't make it too clear, he reckoned that Fujin might be in the side room with Little Gege."

I couldn't help but smile, Qin Quan'er is indeed very spirited, knowing that this kind of thing has nothing to do with fourth master, the better, so I went back to Concubine De first, and asked her to order someone to send me back. "Well", Master Jiu hummed lightly, "Then you go." "Zha" the little eunuch responded, and footsteps sounded, and it sounded like they were going in the direction I came from just now.

When the little eunuch had gone far away, the place suddenly became quiet, only occasional sighing voices, I hugged Qiang'er tightly, and shrank behind the pillars of the pavilion, not daring to breathe One sound, in the silence, as if you can hear the beating sound of your own heart.

After a while, "Ninth Brother, there is no one here, where is yours?" Although Master Shi lowered his voice, it was still very clear in the quiet night, I couldn't help shrinking in again, "No ", Jiuye replied coldly, "That girl is so smart, even if she is here, she probably ran away early when she heard our voices talking." Tenth Master said carelessly, as if he was relieved, his voice Also grew up.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter if you're here or not, hmph", Master Jiu said gloomyly, "Let's go back first, this will take a lot of time, my starlings are probably in a hurry", "Oh" Brother Ten He answered nonchalantly, and then suddenly asked, "Hey, Brother Ninth, in your hand..." Before he could finish speaking, his voice suddenly fell silent, he faltered for a while, and then said loudly, "Then let's go." , After talking about the sound of boots, the sound disappeared after a while.

I poked my head out slightly, just in time to see the backs of the ninth and tenth masters not far away, but I didn't feel safe in my heart, but jumped more and more violently.Thinking about what Master Shi said just before leaving, although I didn't hear clearly, I couldn't help but frowned, feeling more and more wrong in my heart, Yinxiang's smiling face suddenly flashed across my mind, My heart skipped a beat.

After waiting for a while, I slowly leaned out and looked around for a while. I climbed up and looked far away. I was just under the pavilion, but I felt that the surroundings were pitch black and I couldn't tell the direction.But at this moment, the palace walls and palaces below, and the garden corridors appeared in front of my eyes in an instant with the swaying palace lanterns.

The road that Jiu Ye and the others left is the right road leading to Changyin Pavilion, and on the right side of it is Qingyin Garden, which is connected by winding corridors, and on the left is the Wanzi Building.Just now I heard from Qin Quan'er that all the noble ladies are in the Wanzi Building, while the elder brothers are accompanying the royal relatives to listen to the opera in the Changyin Pavilion.

I bit my lip, stood up and quickly got off the pavilion, walked not far to the right and then turned to the Qingyin Corridor, most of my son's eunuchs and guards were serving in Changyin Pavilion, but the Qingyin Corridor was unusually quiet, Only the palace lanterns, which were blown by the wind, fluctuated occasionally.

I took a deep breath, hugged the child tightly and started to run wildly, thankful in my heart that I was wearing a pair of suede palace boots instead of flower pot bottoms, otherwise I would not be able to run [-] meters on stilts. "Hmm..." Qiang'er obviously felt the bumps and discomfort during running, so she hummed uncomfortably.

My lungs burned as if I had been stuffed with a handful of chili noodles. I breathed heavily, and ran forward with my eyes and teeth gritted. God knows, how long has it been since I graduated from school and didn't have to rush to study early.What's more, at that time, they were wearing school uniforms and sneakers, and they were dressed in light clothes. Unlike now, they could hear the clattering above their heads, and the beaded hairpins and step shakers collided with each other non-stop.

I didn't care about Qiang'er for a while, so I could only run forward desperately. Seeing the brightly lit Changyin Pavilion getting closer, and the voices of people could be faintly heard, I slowed down and walked slowly. While breathing with her own breath, Qiang'er gradually calmed down while coaxing Qiang'er who kept stretching her hands and feet.

Not far away, the moon gate connecting Qingyin Gallery and Changyin Pavilion appeared. Two eunuchs stood guarding the gate, and not far from the main gate, several guards with waist knives were standing in front of the gate, responsible for There was an endless stream of eunuchs and maids serving the dishes.

I stood still, the burning feeling in my son's chest was only a little bit lighter now, but the heat on my body was still steaming. wiped his face.

Just now I just felt that something was wrong in my heart, I just wanted to get out of there quickly, and find Yinxiang before Master Jiu and the others, but when I got there, I was a little at a loss, my instinct told me to run, but my instinct didn't tell me to run away after running. What should I do... I can't help but smile wryly, I can't rush in and tell Yinxiang that your wife has a sixth sense attack, so hurry home with me.

There was a moment of hesitation in my heart, sweating in a short while, my body suddenly felt chilly, and there was still a group of singing and dancing not far away, as if nothing had happened, I was thinking about whether to leave first, in the moon gate over there In a flash, two more eunuchs came out.

I shrank back into the shadows in a hurry, and heard the two eunuchs walk by me, and one of them whispered in a somewhat familiar voice, "Hurry up and find Master Fourteen, he and Thirteen Elder Brother and the others are all in Qingyin Court now, don’t forget what I told you just now, you need to make this earring look like it fell from Master Fourteen, you know?” “I understand,” another eunuch responded, Quickly ran away.

"Earring...", I touched my ear subconsciously, but the right ear was empty...

"Huh..." I breathed out lightly, an emotion similar to a smile slowly floated up, and the corners of my mouth twitched subconsciously, but this feeling seemed to be just halfway up, so uncomfortable I couldn't get up and down and got stuck in the middle, so I couldn't laugh anymore.

How many such tricks are there? I couldn't help stretching out my hand and pinching the bridge of my nose. I suddenly remembered a simple video game that was very popular in middle school. The swords, guns, swords and halberds falling from the head, although I will secretly rejoice every time I pass the level, but when I can really relax, it is not because of the level, but the moment the game ends, even though it means "death"...

"Okay", a burst of applause came suddenly, I subconsciously looked in that direction, Qingyin Pavilion... Yinxiang's smiling face immediately slipped past my eyes, I couldn't help but look down at Qiang'er, in a daze, The little sleeping face overlaps with the warm smiling face.

I closed my eyes, right and wrong over the past year, turning in my mind like a revolving lantern, Yinxiang's bright smile, fourth master's cold fingers, Kangxi's haughty eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and Concubine De's seemingly gentle smile is like a black hole that can swallow even light...

The feeling that has been suppressed for a long time seems to flow through my heart like lava, and I suddenly feel a little hot in my chest. This is probably what people often say that things must be reversed. I opened my eyes and smiled slightly. Well, since the dodge game I'm not good at it, so let's play "King of Boxing" today...

I slowly walked out from behind the colonnade, my eyes were clear, I looked up, only to find that the moon tonight is really clear... There was a low cry not far away, it was obvious that the two eunuchs guarding the gate had discovered it. Me, I turned around and smiled at those two people. They just looked at me so stupidly, and didn't realize it all at once. Where did I come from and what am I going to do? I don't bother to care about them. Thinking, turned around and walked towards Qingyin Pavilion.

Not too far away, the number of eunuchs and guards increased, and everyone was surprised when they saw me, not because they knew me, but they all recognized me in the robe and coat of Prince Fujin, but this place is where those men Where I was staying, my appearance was too eye-catching, and they were stunned for a while.

Seeing the door of Qingyin Pavilion approaching, a eunuch of not low grade ran over and beat him down one by one, "Master, this is Qingyin Pavilion, and the Wanzi Building is over there. Do you want a slave to lead the way?" "Get up!" Right", I said with a smile, "Yes", the eunuch stood up.

I took a look at him. He was in his twenties, fair-looking, with an honest and honest face, but I have no impression, I don’t know him, and I should have never seen me from his expression, but this is just what he should be. Everyone in the palace wears a mask. Seeing that he is not very old, but he is already at the level of a general manager. If you think about it with your toes, you can tell that the mask on his face is definitely more than honest and honest.

I thought to myself, but I just laughed and said, "This is Qingyin Pavilion, not Wanzi Building"? "Exactly, do you want a slave..." The eunuch bowed and replied respectfully, before I waited for him to finish speaking, I said, "That's great, I went to the Qingyin Pavilion, it seems that I went right", The eunuch raised his head and looked at me in a daze, his unfinished sentence seemed to be stuck in his windpipe like a piece of dry steamed bun, which made his face turn red.

I smiled and nodded at him, raised my legs and walked in, not in a hurry, as long as I got there, the earrings would be worn on his ears, not to mention that they fell from Brother Fourteen. I am not afraid either.A little eunuch at the door saw me coming, and out of professional instinct, he lifted the curtain for me. I entered the door, turned around and said with a smile, "Thank you."

The little eunuch didn't seem to have heard of it, and just looked behind me with a pale face. I took a look behind and happened to see the eunuch's lowered head. I didn't talk, just walked in, thinking You can probably guess that this eunuch must be a confidant of someone in the Eight Lord Party.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help speeding up my pace. The eunuch came to stop me, which proves that Ba Ye and the others must have got the letter. Although I am here, I am not afraid of their small tricks, but as the saying goes, it is good to strike first. , It’s a disaster to start later, no matter what, it’s important to get that earring back first.

There was endless laughter coming from the second floor, and I didn't care about the eunuchs and maids serving in this room, they all looked dumbfounded when they saw me, but they were just walking and thinking about how to settle this matter.Before I could go upstairs, there was a soft call, "Thirteen Fujin", I was taken aback, someone here actually knew me, and when I looked up again, Qin Quan'er's dumbfounded expression on the stairs suddenly caught my eye.

I was stunned, and immediately understood that he must have come to talk to the fourth master, saying that I had been sent out of the palace, etc... I couldn't help being angry and funny, if he hadn't found a young man who couldn't talk The eunuch came to pick me up, why did I come here, I whispered, "Come here".

Qin Quan'er was confused for a moment, and then suddenly realized that he ran up the stairs in three steps and two steps, "Fu Jin, you are..." He asked in a low voice, I shook my head, and just stretched out my hand to hold Qiang'er. Handed it to him, "Take a good look at the child, I will come to you later", I walked upstairs after thinking about it, and then stopped, and turned around to ask Qin Quan'er who was a little panicked and wanted to follow me upstairs One sentence, "Is Brother Fourteen up there?"Qin Quan'er was taken aback for a moment, then nodded subconsciously, "Then Eighth Master and the others are there?" Qin Quan'er hurriedly shook his head.

I nodded, thinking that it would be easy to handle, I made a gesture to stop Qin Quan'er from following up, and walked upstairs alone.The closer to the second floor, the louder the noise inside. Many voices sounded very strange, but the gentle voice of the third master could be recognized immediately, and the voice of opera silk and bamboo became more and more clear.

As soon as you go up to the second floor, you can see a series of finely carved sandalwood partitions, with palace lanterns on them, looming, like several private rooms, separating the corridor for listening to the opera inside and the stairway outside. Come.I couldn't help laughing, this is the best way, if so many people are in one room, I really have to think about whether to make a group appearance.

But then I couldn't help laughing bitterly, there are so many partitions, how do I know that Elder Brother Fourteen is in that "private room", naturally I can't find the little eunuch who is waiting for the opportunity, do I have to go to spy one by one , Then I can't do it... I rubbed my temples in a daze, and listened with my ears up. Not to mention Fourteen, I didn't even hear Yinxiang's voice.

There are two little eunuchs waiting outside each partition door at any time. Since I came up, they all stared at me with wide eyes, as if they saw aliens. Glancing at them, he was thinking that instead of wasting time looking around, he might as well go downstairs and ask Qin Quan'er to come sooner.

One of the little eunuchs was looking at something in a partition, and just turned his head to meet my glance. He was startled, squinted at me, suddenly looked a little wrong, and suddenly lowered his head.I was taken aback, and looked at him carefully. Under the dim light, I couldn't see his face clearly, but the other eunuchs around me didn't dare to look at me, but they all lowered their eyes in a proper manner.

I bent the corner of my mouth, probably it was him, walked over, and stood in front of him with my hands behind my back, the little eunuch lowered his head even more, and didn't say hello, but the little eunuch on the side was dumbfounded, only knowing that he was stunned He looked at me blankly.I tried hard to recall in my mind, how fourth master and Kangxi looked at me every time they stood like this.

"Old Fourteen, what's the matter with you today? Just now, it was as if you had taken some medicine, and you were arguing to drink with the fourth brother. As soon as the fourth brother and the others left, why did you become wilted again, and your son will come to you soon?" ?As soon as I stood still, I heard Yinxiang's familiar banter coming from the partition door. If I hadn't come close, I wouldn't have heard it.

My heart was hot, I did not find the wrong person, and then I was cold again, it seems that the eighth master and the ninth master already knew that he was sitting with the fourteenth elder brother, this kind of thing broke out, no matter what the truth is, it is shameless It can only be Yinxiang, a man who can't even look down on his wife. The power of rumors does not lie in whether people believe it or not, but in the fact that too many people say it...

A burst of anger surged up in my heart, I took a deep breath secretly, and pressed down, listening to what Yinxiang said just now, I calculated, according to the time, I and Fourth Master and the others are probably on the front and back. The little eunuch probably hadn't made a move yet, so he couldn't help but feel relieved.

I didn't speak, but just stared at the little eunuch with dead eyes. I knew that I didn't have the majesty of Kangxi and the fourth master, so I had to work hard on the hardware. Just when I felt that my eyes were about to protrude When the little eunuch lowered his head even more, his left hand clenched even tighter.

I couldn't help laughing in my heart, no matter whether it's my skill in taking pictures of cats or tigers, or this kid's guilt is too strong, as long as the effect is achieved.I took a step forward, and the little eunuch shrank back subconsciously. I tilted my head slightly, pointed to my right ear, smiled, and said in a low voice, "Give it back to me, don't you mind?" .

The little eunuch stared wide-eyed, flaring his nostrils, clenched his teeth tightly, shaking his head unconsciously, but still spit out uncontrollable rough air occasionally.I frowned, looking at his expression, as if he was still hesitating between the choice of honestly handing over the things, or stubbornly being loyal to the master.

The other little eunuch next to him was already a little stupid, and the other little eunuchs who were serving were also staring at this side. I couldn't help feeling a little anxious, and if I dragged on, it would be fine to disturb Yinxiang in the room. After a while, Ba Ye and the others rushed over, and the matter would not end so well, not to mention that there are so many people upstairs, even if someone comes out to the latrine, it will be a problem to see me...

I will be subject to the chaos, I suddenly took half a step forward, grabbed the left hand of the little eunuch, and was about to break it off, but the little eunuch broke free subconsciously.I didn't expect him to dare to fight so boldly, and I was thrown back by him all of a sudden, and the fire in my heart jumped up all of a sudden.

Just as I was about to rush up again, the little eunuch's drawn elbow slammed heavily on the sandalwood partition. There was a "crash", and the partition wobbled twice. I was startled and hurried up. Fu, the little eunuch who was standing stupidly at the side also reacted and reached out to grab a handful, and the partition door barely stood there again, and the second floor was suddenly much quieter.

The little eunuch who was holding my earring was already petrified, before I could move any more, he heard a loud shout from inside the partition, "Who is this, what the hell are you doing!"!Seeing the shadows flickering in each private room, I subconsciously pushed the little eunuch into the partition, and stepped into it myself, almost stumped by the little eunuch, and stretched out a hand Holding me up, looking at the familiar green jade fingers, I swallowed dryly, raised my head and smiled dryly at Yin Xiang, who was staring wide-eyed, "It's me"...
