dream back to qing dynasty

Chapter 62
Section [-]

In May of the fourth year of Yongzheng, Yunfu withdrew from Jingling, cut his title, and detained him in Shouhuang Palace.In front of Shouhuang Hall is Jingshan Mountain and behind it are Yongsi Hall and Guande Hall.The scenery is unique, very royal style and style.

Looking at the mountain and the scenery, and holding the pillars of the grand palace, it reminds people of a prince who was doted on by Kangxi and his mother and concubine, and such a majestic general Fuyuan who went to battle to kill the enemy was imprisoned here. .Can't help crying, such an arrogant and high-spirited prince has spent more than ten years here!
How sad can be explained clearly, thinking about it with tears in my eyes seems to have returned to that era, that scene, and that poignant and sad story.

It has been a month since Yun Yun lived in Shouhuang Palace.His state of mind had faded to a dull level as early as when he was in Jingling.Early in the morning, after practicing martial arts as usual, he would be served by his maid, Ming Yun, and kneel in front of Kangxi's royal face for a while.At this time, he murmured to himself: "Ama Huang, I have come to greet you. The weather is warm today and suitable for hunting. My son should accompany you out for a walk." His voice was a little hoarse, and Mingyun hurried Come and help the fourteenth master.

"Master, you are feeling sad again. Drink some tea first and take a rest." Mingyun helped him to sit down, offered tea and replied, "Master Tu came early in the morning and said that he followed the emperor's orders and is waiting to see you." Alright, I have already arranged for my lord to be in the front hall, you?" Yun'er still didn't continue, knowing her master's fiery temper, every time the current emperor was mentioned, it was like a storm.

"Hmph! I want to see. Where is my fourth brother going to relegate me?" When he said this, Shisi had already stood up, flicked his sleeves, and walked quickly to the front hall.

Yongzheng's personal bodyguard, Tu Lichen, saw Fourteen and rushed to pay his respects, "Slave Tu Lichen sees Master Fourteen!"

"Let's have something to say."Fourteen had no special expression, and said coldly.

"The slave is ordered by the emperor to serve the Fourteenth Lord here and protect the Fourteenth Lord's safety." Tu Lichen did not dare to raise his head, but knelt down and returned.

"Okay! Okay." Fourteen gritted his teeth and said, "I just wronged you. I, a prisoner in a small dwelling, personally use your fourth-rank guard to take care of it. Fourth brother really has a heart!"

"I don't dare. I was ordered by the emperor to protect the Fourteenth Lord. I am willing to serve the Fourteenth Lord." Tu Lichen kowtowed back.

Fourteen stood up, walked towards Tu Lichen, and kicked hard, "What a slave, you go and tell Yongzheng that I am fine, I don't need his servants to serve me, and I haven't done anything wrong. I need someone to protect me all day long, and even Er Niang didn’t let me see him, how could he have any brotherhood.” Tu Lichen’s mouth was bleeding from the kick, and he quickly continued to kneel and was about to kowtow want to talk again.Yun'er supported Shisi and quickly waved her hands at him, then kept waving her hands, Tu Lichen went down helplessly.

Yun'er supported Fourteen, and said: "Master, why bother to be angry with a slave. It's not because I feel sad when I get angry. Yun'er knows that Master has been suffering in the past few years. If you have any troubles, you can take care of Yun'er. It doesn't matter. Get angry with someone who doesn't matter!" Mingyun spoke softly, and Fourteen sat down.

It was getting late at night, and Shisi hadn't entered the house to rest, but was just sitting in the courtyard pavilion in a daze.Hearing footsteps at this moment, he thought it was Mingyun and said, "Yun'er, go back to the house. It's cold here, I'll be quiet here alone."

"You really haven't done anything wrong!" The voice was cold and majestic.Fourteen was startled and turned around.This is the current Emperor Yongzheng.

Fourteen stood up despite all his reluctance.Kneel down and worship.

"Get up!" There was no wave in the voice.By the way, I sat opposite Shisi.

"You and I are brothers talking about the old days, and avoid these things that hurt feelings." Yongzheng's tone was a little more helpless and desolate.

"I don't know that I can tell the emperor about brotherhood today. But where is the brotherhood? Why did the eighth brother and the ninth brother go? The tenth brother? The third brother? Where is the fifth brother?" Fourteen asked forcefully.

"You are so thoughtful, why don't you think about the thirteenth brother. He was also imprisoned by Huang Ama for a full ten years, and his beautiful and intelligent thirteenth side Fujin Yala was expelled from the royal family and given poisonous wine Erta, where's Mingwei?" Yongzheng was holding back the pain when he said this.

"Yes. Mingwei, Xiaowei. She!" Fourteen mentioned the name.Uncontrollable sadness, general grief welling up in my heart, that kind of heartache, that kind of regret.Let him never get rid of and forget it day and night, and the events of the past 20 years are still vivid in his memory.

"You only know your pain. Do you know my pain? Shisan and you are my closest brothers, you think I don't love you. But when have you been close to me? You have been with Lao Ba since you were young , I have never heard a single word from me. But when it comes to Lao Ba, you don’t even want to protect him in front of Huang Ama." The always calm and strict emperor mourned.

"Let's talk about my childhood. Let's talk about my childhood." Fourteen was a little agitated, and said, Ming Yun ran out, "Master, please tell me."

Fourteen picked up a glass of wine and drank it dry, saying: "When you were young, you always had a cold face, and you turned your face when you said you would turn your back on me. I accidentally smeared a picture of your handwriting, so you slapped me and always spoke sarcasticly to me." You also interfere with my going in and out of various palaces. How do you treat Brother Thirteen? You always talk warmly and train with all your heart. Mynah is always gentle with us brothers. Never forget to mention me and Brother Nine and Ten elder brother."

"You don't understand my painstaking efforts in the past. You are used to being spoiled by Er Niang. You are usually arrogant and playful, so can I let you be stricter? Thirteen, she doesn't have Er Niang, so she usually treats him softly, and he is restrained. .It’s less of a hassle, but you’re still General Fuyuan who can’t even understand this kind of thing.” Yongzheng also picked up his wine glass and drank it down.

Fourteen felt hot in his heart.Could it be that he hasn't really understood his own brother for so many years.Could it be that he had misunderstood all along.He was soft in his heart and his mouth was not soft, he drank another glass of wine and said: "Then what are you doing to our brothers now?"

"We were born in this emperor's house, and we have the previous right and wrong. Now at this time, can we turn back? As an elder brother, I have done my duty to keep you safe. Fortunately, the environment here is elegant, your Fujin child I will also take good care of my family members, so that they will not be wronged. In the future, if I am alive and have a chance to recover everything about you, it will depend on the situation. The situation of other brothers is also the path they choose to take. I There is nothing you can do about it." Yongzheng said slowly.

"You can stay here with peace of mind. There are still official documents to be approved in the Hall of Mental Cultivation." He stood up and returned to the indifference and majesty when he came here earlier.Then he took another deep look at Ming Yun who had come out of the house to kneel to see her off, and said softly, "Take good care of your master."

Mingyun didn't know why she blushed when she saw this gaze.He replied: "Please rest assured, your majesty, the servants will do their best."

Fourteen stood up to see him off, and before he even looked up, he heard Yongzheng say again: "Back then, Xiaowei was not poisoned to death by that poisonous wine."

Shisiyi grabbed Yongzheng's sleeve in surprise: "What did you say? She's not dead, so where is she?"

Section [-]

Yongzheng brushed away Fourteen's hand and said, "Don't ask where she is. I know her death is a thorn in your heart, otherwise you wouldn't have such a girl by your side. I just tell you She didn't die back then. You know what she can do now, she can live happily elsewhere now. It's also because of you and me."

It was only then that Mingyun noticed.The two middle-aged men had tears in their eyes.This Xiaowei should be an unusual woman, making the Emperor and the Lord feel so hurt?The fourteenth master never mentioned it to her.

Shisi no longer remembered how to send the emperor away, and continued to drink, thinking about the thoughts that he couldn't get out. After so many years, his heart finally had the courage to face himself.Whether he is happy or heartbroken, these are not important anymore, it's just that the feelings that he misses day and night and dare not show them in front of others surge out, he staggers to stand up, exhausted all his strength, and shouted hoarsely: " Xiaowei, where are you, where are you...Yalalta. Mingwei! Mingwei!" Such a sad, desolate cry.I'm afraid that the whole Jingshan will also be heartbroken.

Mingyun's heart was broken by her father's shout.Crying and helping Fourteen into the house.Fourteen was lying on the bed, looking at Mingyun vaguely, and took her hand, "Xiaowei, I really want to see your smile. It's so beautiful, so beautiful."

Mingyun was pulled by this.His face was flushed red, and he didn't want to let it go.Seeing my grandfather like this, I couldn't help but have red eye circles.Sitting on the side, he said, "Master Fourteen. You are tired."

It took a while for Fourteen to calm down.Finally fell asleep.Yun'er watched quietly all night without closing her eyes.

Mingyun thought of some conversations between the emperor and the Fourteenth Lord just now.Can't help but smile, this is the Emperor of the Ninth Five-Year Supreme and a brave general.The two were like two children who had just finished a fight, talking about their grievances and loyalty to each other.It's just that it's not something that other people can understand in a while.

The sleeping Fourteenth Master really looked like a wronged child with tears in his eyes, which made people feel pity.The resolute face showed soft lines in sleep, peaceful and serene.

So Mingyun's thoughts went back to that winter.

On this day, the snow fell heavily, white, and a thick layer was accumulated on the ground.There were only a few scattered people on the street, and they all hurried past. She was a little girl, stumbling, and could only listen to the cold wind blowing.A heart-piercing cold air poured directly into the whole body.She only hoped that a kind person would buy her soon, so that she would not have to be scolded by this fierce woman every day, and would not be able to eat enough or sleep well.

She didn't remember when she was abducted from home.Most of the previous things are not remembered, she should have loving parents.But as long as I can remember, it was the time when I and my little sisters were betrayed by people.

The renzi were also jumping around in the cold, still hawking in the street, when a small group of people passed by.Litma also ran a lot slower on such a snow-covered road, and the young man saw that these men had expensive clothes and extraordinary temperament, so they must be famous young masters.Then he stopped one of them and said: "Master, look at my girls. Although they are small, they are all fresh and transparent. Buy them and go back to be a girl."

The man reprimanded, "Who is it? Dare to block our master's way, and you won't wipe your dog's eyes."

"Don't bother with him, it's important to hurry." One of them was dressed very luxuriously and said imposingly.

Mingyun knew at the time that if they couldn't sell them today, Ren Yazi would sell them to Chunxiang Tower in a few days.Although she didn't know what to do there, she also knew that it was not a clean place. Before going out, Ren Yazi said to them: "I'm too benevolent. If I find you a rich family and sell it to be a girl, you will be left behind." Live a good home, if you can’t sell it, I’ll tell the old bustard in Chunxiang Tower to sell it to her at a low price. It will be difficult for you to get ahead in the future, you know?”

At that time, Mingyun desperately grabbed the person who said she was going to leave just now. She was too small and could only grab the corner of this person's trousers. She was like grabbing a life-saving driftwood, and she refused to let go, " Uncle, please, buy me. I can do anything. If I don’t know how to do it, I will learn to do it. I don’t want to be sold to Chunxiang Tower.” Then he knelt down on the ground and slammed a few times. size.Looking up again, blood was already stained on his forehead.

Fourteen was on his way, but this time he saw the child's appearance clearly, his eyes, and his face shocked him, so he stopped.Ask "How old is it?"

Ren Yazi smiled apologetically. "Seven years old, you have a good eye. The children here are called Shuiling, who is smarter. I think she has some fate with you, so let's go."

Seeing Mingyun's kowtow, the other children also kowtowed one by one, pleading.

Even though Shisi saw this, he was ruthless and tried his best to shake the girl off.

He yelled, "Go."

The following men and horses also galloped along with the sound of driving.

Mingyun sat on the ground, she didn't want to get up anymore, it was all hopeless.

Section Three

The weather is getting warmer.The golden sunlight shone into the room, making people even more lazy.Fourteen woke up at this moment, only feeling a slight headache.But Yun'er packed everything up early in the morning, ready to change and wash Fourteen.

Seeing this girl's careful look, Shisi felt hot in her heart: "Yun'er, have you stayed here all night? You're tired too, go and rest first."

"Master! Yun'er is not tired. You drank some wine yesterday, so don't go out to exercise today." Yun'er was bringing over the prepared meal.

"Go. I have something to tell you when I come over tonight." Fourteen said thoughtfully.

Only then did Ming Yun ask An to leave and left the house. The courtyard was very quiet, except for a few old servants who were sweeping the courtyard, there was no one there.It just feels elegant and quiet here.At a glance, the mountains are continuous and lush, and people's mood is also cheerful.

Mingyun was walking along the corridor to go back to sleep.Not far away, I saw a young man standing behind him.He was wearing an official uniform with a sword on his waist. Although he was dressed as a general, he exuded a gentle and refined demeanor all over his body.Only then did she remember that this is Tu Lichen, the emperor's personal bodyguard.Thinking about this matter is also difficult for him.

"Master Tu. Mingyun greets you." Mingyun bowed.

The guard Tu turned around and saw that it was Lord Fourteen's personal maid who hurriedly said, "Miss, please get up."

Mingyun smiled slightly, and said, "Is Master Tu satisfied with the residence arranged for Master Tu? I didn't personally arrange the accommodation for Master Tu yesterday. I hope you don't blame Master Tu."

Tu Lichen returned the courtesy and said, "Miss, you are welcome. Everything is fine. Thank you, Miss."

"The Fourteenth Master has always had such a temper, you have to take care of it more in the future, the emperor." Ming Yun thought that this person must be arranged by the emperor.

Only then did Ming Yun realize that she had underestimated this lord. "It's Mingyun who is talking too much. My lord, forgive me." After saying this, she left, and when she returned to her room, she felt that she was really tired.He lay on the bed without washing.When I woke up, it was already dark outside.

Thinking of the master's order, he hurriedly washed and put on his belt, left his house and came to the yard.There was no one in the yard, so she rushed past Fourteenth Master's study and saw him sitting there again.

"Mingyun is paying my respects to my lord." Mingyun paid her respects.

"Get up." Fourteen said in a gentle voice, "Mingyun, you have been by my side for many years, right?"

"Yeah. Almost ten years."

"Ten years. How fast, I was still a child when I saw you, and now you have grown into a slim girl." Fourteen said with a smile, "You also heard something about my fourth brother and I yesterday, don't you really miss it?" Do you know who Mingwei is?"

Mingyun hurriedly replied, "Yun'er just wants to know, if the master wants to say, Yun'er will make you a pot of good tea and have a good chat with you." She got up, and after a while, brought the utensils for making tea, Made a pot of good tea.

Fourteen picked up the tea, took a sip, and then started talking.

That was the 40th year of the first emperor, and the general election is approaching.All the show girls are arranged in Zhongcui Palace.It's not unusual to be elected every three years.But that year is still fresh in my memory.do you know?Even if these show girls are not selected by Huang Ama, they may be pointed out to the princes, so the married princes will pay more attention to these show girls.Speaking of this, Mingyun saw a smile on Fourteenth Master's face.This smile was something she had never seen before.Some are happy, some are sad, and some are innocent.

When I knew this name, I hadn't seen her yet, but I heard it mentioned by my eighth and tenth brothers when they came back from the palace.I didn't catch up that day. They were thinking about going to see the selected show girl, so they took a detour, and they didn't expect to meet the fourth brother and the thirteenth brother standing and chatting with a show girl standing by the pool.Brother Nine and Brother Ten came together and joked a few words.It was only then that myna knew that this beautiful girl was named Mingwei, who was the official servant of the household department, the Yalarta family, that is, his sister of Minghui, and myna also noticed that the Qinglang Wenxiu woman was somewhat similar to Minghui , but Mingwei's eyes are more clear and straightforward.The starling also fell in love with this beautiful girl at the time, but the fourth brother was a step behind.Starling was also quite unhappy at the time.I'm not worth it for him.Angrily, she went to find Erniang, and wanted to get it for him, but the starling said: "If she wants to follow me, she is already mine now, so let it be." In fact, it is about appearance and temperament.Starlings are the number one among us.She didn't catch such a talented person, so at that time, she thought that she must see what kind of beauty she was.

Now that I think about it, if I hadn't been delayed by something, I wouldn't have met her later than they did.If the thirteenth brother hadn't met her first and made the fourth brother beg Eniang to take her, then I wouldn't have seen her often at Eniang's place, but it was the thirteenth brother who got to know her first.It has become my constant regret.

It was the first time I met Xiaowei to see my mother.We agreed to go hunting eagles with Brother Thirteen.The thirteenth brother said to go to Er Niang's place first, I went to look for the fourth brother, but when I passed by the side courtyard, I saw it at the door.The fourth brother turned his back to me covered in water.Standing face to face with a court lady, the maid's face cannot be seen, there is also water and overturned basins on the ground.The fourth brother seemed to be touching her face.

The fourth brother is always cold to others.How could he be so gentle to a court lady now.I couldn't bear the way he scolded me all day long, so I laughed and said, "Which song is this?"

Fourth brother turned around, and I saw this court lady, her features were indeed somewhat similar to Minghui's, her teeth were bright and bright, although she was not beautiful, she was clear and gentle, with a natural bearing.

She is also covered in water.I couldn't help asking her, "It's you." Xiaowei replied, "It's me." At that time, I realized why starlings also like this beautiful girl.She is quick-witted and neither humble nor overbearing when speaking to the prince, generous and lively, natural and natural.

He talked about how he once held Xiaowei's hand and taught her how to write.Mingyun also smiled knowingly.Fourteen said: "At that time, I was still young and hadn't had much contact with women. I stood so close to her. I was still sweet in my heart. She seemed to have a good figure. In fact, I enjoyed the fragrance of her body in my heart. Coincidentally, the thirteenth brother saw it at that time."

Ming Yun laughed, and poured another cup of tea for the Fourteenth Master and herself, and said, "Then the Fourteenth Master must have a touching story with this girl."

Fourteen's smile disappeared.Sadly: "There is a story. But it's not touching. Her touching story didn't include me either. I did something to feel sorry for her afterwards."

Mingyun thought that there must be some hidden and painful things in it, so she stopped asking.

Fourteen talked about Xiaowei and Thirteen's acquaintance and love scene together.Especially speaking, Xiaowei rescued Shisan from the fight between Xiong and Shisan regardless of her life.Yun'er exclaimed that it was dangerous.Thinking of this girl is really affectionate and righteous!
Fourteen has never been rejected like that day, nor has he been so jealous of Brother Thirteen like that day.When he hugged her and asked her, if he was the one standing on the verge of dying, would she save him regardless of the danger of her own life, she said decisively and resolutely: "No."

He couldn't forget the day after he took her back home.He took the horse by himself and ran wildly for a long time.He really wanted to ride on the horse for a long distance without stopping, hoping to run to the ends of the earth and forget about this woman completely.

Section [-]

Seeing that the night was already deep, because it happened to be the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, the moonlight was also extraordinarily bright, and through the white screen window, it shone through the whole room.Mingwei got up and cut the candle wicks, and made another cup of tea for Fourteenth Master.

"Master, it's getting late. Would you like to go to bed first?"

"No need. I'm stuck here every day. What can I do? I'm done resting. What else can I do? Can't I get out of the Shouhuang Palace even if I walk around?" Fourteen said angrily.

Mingyun's heart tightened, but she smiled slightly, "Yun'er didn't expect that a little girl could have such courage."

"Haha, she's very courageous." Fourteen put down his teacup, and started talking about the incident where Xiao Wei served tea to Brother Ten in Changchun Garden.

"Hehe, you didn't see Brother Ten's expression at that time. I have never seen him suffer such a big loss."

Mingyun was drinking tea, and put down the teacup with a smile: "This girl is really real, I almost look like Master Shi."

"Her laughs made Brother Ten very depressed. I will remember this girl from now on. Not everyone has the guts to offend the prince. But." Fourteen frowned, and said, " She doesn't mind the consequences like this, it's a very dangerous thing in the palace. Fortunately, my starling and I helped her to settle the situation first, otherwise Haodan would suffer a little bit. The tenth brother's mother started from the queen. After going, the status in the harem is very high. It is unmatched by ordinary concubines."

Ming Yun heard this, thinking that although they were all born in a rich and noble hometown, but in such a cold and tasteless family, they are full of dangers and murderous intentions.

"Afterwards, I went to Sichuan with the starling, and the thirteenth brother and the fourth brother went to Jiangsu and Zhejiang." Fourteen thought about going to Er Niangna when he came back.One was to visit Erniang, and the other was to visit Xiaowei. Passing by the yard, he heard a strange sound coming from a remote place.He found it following the voice, and saw a court lady shouting: "One two three four, two two three four, three two three four," while shouting, accompanied by some simple movements. It's also unique, it doesn't look like martial arts, but some fitness exercises, I can't help laughing in a low voice, this girl can think of such movements.

Fourteen paused for a while and said, "This is the time I taught her to write. The brush she used at that time was not made in the palace. It was a fine product that could only be produced in Jiang Jian's area. The thirteenth and fourth brothers just came back from Jiangjian, the fourth brother has always had a strong interest in calligraphy, and the thirteenth brother saw that the pen used by Xiaowei and me was nothing special, I thought it was a gift from the fourth brother Yes. At that time, she repeatedly separated me and her from Shisan, and she felt very uncomfortable. Although Xiaowei and I were caught by Shisan every time, I always looked tired and uninhibited. At that time, I said Dao Po can't figure it out. Since she is good with the thirteenth brother, why is she getting involved with the fourth brother? Every time she looks at the eyes of the fourth brother, she always stares at him. I can't take it back at all. It's definitely a ball of fire. It seems to be burning to the bone, but looking at Thirteen, it's like flowing water, gentle to the heart. But it always avoids me, and it doesn't even touch my starling. Dare to touch it. Now I think about it, is she really an illusion fairy in the sky, always revealing the results of all investigations. Her eyes always look at us brothers pitifully, as if she has known all the tragedies for a long time. "

Speaking of this, Mingyun thought that the stalemate between their brothers was not just because of that seat.But the little things that happened during the process are enough to make the brotherhood as thin as paper.

"My lord, there is something I've always wanted to comfort you. In fact, although we don't have much freedom here, we are also quiet and indifferent. One day, we may be able to go back to the palace and reunite with Fujin's family, so we can have some happy days. A person who is overwhelmed with troubles, is always on the defensive, and dare not even get close to his wife and children, who doesn't even have a confidant, so it may not be lucky." Mingyun said in a low voice.

Fourteen took a deep look. Mingyun and Xiaowei looked quite similar, but they also had the same temperament.In the past few years, she followed him to fight in the north and south, and learned a lot of masculine things.He speaks frankly but has a sense of proportion, and his thoughts are more careful.Resolute yet gentle.

"Yun'er has grown up in recent years, and she doesn't speak like an ordinary girl anymore. She has such insight at such a young age." Fourteen smiled slightly, "Waiting for a good family, I will also make decisions for you Married and gone."

Mingyun blushed all of a sudden, "My lord is really not serious. He said some serious things in a nice way, but you made fun of Yun'er. Yun'er is not married. She will serve the Lord for the rest of her life. Nowhere Go." But then realized that she had finished speaking, and turned around; "I won't tell you anymore." Mingyun stood up shyly and turned around to leave, when she stood up and looked through the window, she saw a straight figure at the door of the outer courtyard. It was already hazy and bright, but this figure was also graceful, like a picture.Can't help but hesitate.

Tu Lichen saw Fourteenth Master coming over.Hastily bowed his hands and said: "I have seen the fourteenth master."

Fourteen snorted. "You stayed here all night?"

"Back to the Fourteenth Master, the humble officer did stay here all night, the Fourteenth Master did not return to bed, the villain dare not leave without authorization."

"Okay. After listening to our conversation all night, it's already early in the morning, why don't you go to report to your master?"

When Tu Lichen heard this, he quickly knelt down, "Don't dare to be humble, the master of the humble is the Fourteenth Lord."

"Don't dare, hum." Shisiyi flicked his sleeves and said to Mingyun, "Mingyun, go prepare paper and ink."

Mingyun took the order and went into the house to prepare paper and ink.Fourteen walked to the table and quickly picked up the pen.After a pause, he quickly wrote on the paper.Ming Yun saw it nearby and couldn't help being surprised.

Fourteen quickly finished writing and handed it to Tu Lichen, you can take a look.

Tu Lichen took it over, and when he saw it, he couldn't help but groaned inwardly.

On the paper was a seven-character poem, which read:
Looking up, I want to ask Mr. Cang, the misfortune, obscenity, good fortune, and goodness may not be true.

What is the ultimate reason for Qin Huishan to swallow charcoal for fear of death?

The rogue Liu Bang is the lord of Weiyang, and the hero Xiang Yu slashes down.

Heroes from the past hold their wrists in vain, groaning for Linggang to cover their hearts.

Fourteen stood up and said to Tu Lichen, "Go, show this to my fourth brother."

Tu Lichen said anxiously: "I can't. Fourteenth Master, you will cause great disaster if you do this."

"Hehe. Don't let me see you in the Hall of Shouhe if you can't send it to the fourth brother today." After speaking, he turned and said to Mingyun, "I'm tired, I want to take a rest, don't bother me if there is nothing else. gone."

Mingyun replied yes, and came down to wait for Hou Shishi to sleep.

Tu Lichen held the hot poem, hesitantly, it seems that this trip to the palace must be done.He hurried back to the house, washed his face, arranged his clothes, and changed into official uniforms.Walking along the entrance of the Shouhe Hall, because it was still early and the sweepers had not yet arrived, a road was covered with a thick layer of yellow leaves, and the entire Jingshan Mountain also turned golden yellow. What a poignant picture scroll.I couldn't help frowning, this is really a troubled time!

"Master Tu." A gentle voice interrupted his train of thought.Turning around, it was Miss Mingyun standing behind her.

Mingyun saw Tu Lichen turn around.Quickly knelt down and kowtowed heavily.

"Young lady, how can you do this? Hurry up and get up." Tu Lichen couldn't bear this obeisance.

"Your Excellency, you must know that this is the obeisance to what the servant is going to say. I also hope that the Lord will keep our Fourteenth Lord when he enters the palace. Mingyun is very grateful. You know that the servant has served the Fourteenth Lord since he was a child, and the Fourteenth Lord I have suffered enough in the past few years. I hope you will take more care of the emperor." Ming Yun couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Your Majesty knows what you want, but this matter is beyond your control. In short, I will do my best. Please rest assured, my Majesty. No matter what, the Emperor and the Fourteenth Lord are brothers."

Tu Lichen helped Mingyun up and comforted him.I thought how could the emperor's mind be guessed through.This trip will end up being a disaster.

"Mingyun waits for Master Tu to come back." Mingyun stood up and looked at Tu Lichen.

"My lord, don't pass by." Tu Lichen turned around and walked down the mountain quickly.

Tu Lichen entered the palace right away, and when the emperor went to court, it was already noon, when he saw the emperor, he quickly knelt down.

The emperor seemed to be in a good mood and asked with a smile, "Why are you here today. Fourteen is okay."

"The fourteenth master is fine, today the fourteenth master asked the servant to come." Tu Lichen really didn't know how to get this letter out.

"Oh?" Yongzheng looked at Tu Lichen's embarrassed look, and asked with a serious face, "Tell me, what did Fourteen ask you to do. I also know that he doesn't like you in his heart. "

"The Fourteenth Lord has a letter for the servant to present to the emperor." Tu Lichen then took it out and handed it to the emperor's personal eunuch.

Yongzheng opened the letter and looked at it, his face turned greener and greener, he couldn't help standing up, pressed the letter on the table and slapped it bitterly, "What a bold Fourteen."

"Come here, this younger brother is really flattering me." This voice rushed to the Dragon Palace.The sound is the wrath of the emperor!It's chilling.

Following the shout of the Son of Heaven, the guards outside the door had already entered the room, and at the same time they shook their voices: "The slave is here."

When everyone saw the emperor's anger, they all knelt down, and no one dared to make a sound.

Section Five

There was silence all around, and all the guards who came in stood with their hands in their hands.However, Tu Lichen's eyes flashed the scene of Mingyun kneeling and begging in Jingshan in the early morning, and he couldn't help kowtowing: "Your Majesty, think twice!" After saying this, he kept his head down and did not dare to look at the sky.

Yongzheng glanced at Tu Lichen.Holding the piece of paper tightly with his hands, his body slowly sat down.After sitting firmly, the hands also slowly relaxed.Afterwards, his expression became as cold as usual, and he waved his hand at the guards to show his retreat.After all the guards withdrew, Yongzheng said calmly: "Let him go."

Only then did Tu Lichen let go of his heart.Look up and see.The emperor had already picked up the tea and took two sips.

Yongzheng put down his teacup, thinking that Shisi's temper had not changed at all.Looking at Tu Lichen again, it was difficult for him, so he asked him to get up and answer.

"I heard from the Queen that the Fourteenth Fujin has been a little sick these few days. You can go to the Fourteenth Mansion to have a look. Find some cars to pick up the Fourteenth Fujin and go to Jingshan to see him. I think they have not seen each other for a long time." It was still the faint voice just now.

"The slave is taking the order." Tu Lichen clasped his hands, and was about to retreat after receiving the order.

But the emperor continued to ask: "Do you know the girl next to Shisi, where did she get it?"

Tu Lichen never thought that the emperor would notice Mingyun, and he cupped his hands and replied, "I just heard that Master Fourteen picked it up from the street."

The emperor didn't speak after hearing this.After waving his hand, Tu Lichen exited the hall.

Tu Lichen came out of the Forbidden City, and ordered his men to go to the Shouhuang Hall to tell Mingyun to prepare.It also reassures her.I went to the Fourteenth Prince's Mansion by myself.

Ming Yun received the news from Mr. Tu, and she was worried all morning before letting go. She turned her worry into joy, and quickly told the Fourteenth Master, and also made preparations to welcome the Fourteenth Fortune.

Mingyun waited at the entrance of the Shouhuang Palace until evening, only to see three or two carriages coming up the mountain path, and the leader riding the horse was Tu Lichen.Tu Lichen walked in front of the carriage, looking at Mingyun standing at the door from a distance, the yellow leaves on the road had been cleaned up, the sun was setting, and the red light shone slightly, against the majestic green hills, she stood far away, soft There was an innocent and sweet smile on his face, and although he was standing there, he raised his hand and shook it playfully at him.Looking at the distant mountain scenery, Tu Lichen's mood suddenly became more comfortable.

After a while, the carriages and horses arrived at the door, and Ming Yunfu leaned down and said, "Ming Yun was ordered by the Fourteenth Lord to wait for Fujin."

"Forget it." After saying that, Fourteen helped Fujin to sit down together.

Mingyun served some refreshments.Then I said goodbye.Claiming to prepare dinner, he pulled the maid brought by Fujin and retreated.

Fourteen looked at Fujin who hadn't seen her for many years, and saw that she was thin and haggard, thinking that she was worried about herself every day, and her body became weak.Although the couple hadn't seen each other for many years, they didn't know what to say for a while.Looking at each other, apart from concern, there is endless desolation in the eyes.Fourteen slowly asked if Fujin's body had been seen by the imperial physician.What kind of medicine he took, Fujin only said that it was some minor ailments, please don't worry about it too much.

They have been married for more than 20 years.The days when husband and wife get along are very few.Fourteen remembered that when she first met her, she was still sixteen or seventeen years old like Mingyun.It used to be bright eyes and a sweet face.

Fourteen Since the fourth brother came here a few days ago, my thoughts are always recalling many things many years ago.Although it is uninterrupted in front of the eyes, but it is vivid.

When Fourteen Fujin heard it, he frowned slightly, but also smiled a little arrogantly, "I'm thinking about what happened so many years ago today." Although she said so, she never forgot that day To the scene of the fourteenth master.

Although the voice fell, the two of them were silent in the past stories.

But Fourteen's thoughts were first thought of by Xiao Wei.

It was still that winter, Huang Ama made a decree - to go to the Northeast for winter hunting.All their adult elder brothers followed, and of course the noble concubines also followed.Xiaowei also traveled with the concubine Defei.

It was during this trip that Xiaowei saved Shisan regardless of her own life, but she was heartbroken because her fourth brother was seriously injured.It was also when Fourteen realized that there were actually two people in her heart.How can she.As he was speeding up his horse, he couldn't stop thinking, how could she, how could she risk her life for Thirteen, and be heartbroken for Fourth Brother, but she said no to him so resolutely and firmly, and abandoned him abruptly. come out.He never thought that he, who was so cautious and arrogant, would fall so hard and get hurt so badly because of a woman.

Wait until the horse is brought back.Not far away, I saw the fourth brother standing blankly outside Shisan's tent.His injury should not be serious.Why are you still standing here?Tie up the horse and come back.Just thinking about going to see Thirteen's injuries.But he saw that the fourth brother had already turned around and walked towards his tent.The background of the fourth brother seems to be more lonely and desolate than usual.

Entering the house, I saw Shisan and Xiaowei embracing each other affectionately, only then did I understand why the fourth brother didn't come in and left quietly.He should have seen it.Is his heart as painful as his own?

Brother Thirteen was very proud when he saw Fourteen, and it was natural to be proud.If there was such a woman who would put her life on the line for herself one day, wouldn't he be able to be so proud?Xiaowei's face was flushed red at this moment.Seeing that his injury is not serious, he said that he just saw the fourth brother come.I really want to see how Xiaowei feels when fourth brother sees Shisan and her. Although he and Shisan are talking happily as usual, they keep their eyes on her.She is in pain, as if torn apart.Although he tried his best to conceal it, he could see it, and Shisan could also see it.

In the evening, Huang Ama gave a banquet, all the concubines and elder brothers came to attend the imperial banquet, the thirteenth brother and fourth brother rushed over even though they were injured.Thirteen seemed to be in high spirits, and he still chatted with him as if he hadn't been hurt. Fourth brother was also calm as usual.It's just that tenth brother stabbed Xiao Wei in front of Huang Ama.Xiaowei lowered her head and had to get out of the crowd.When Huang Ama asked her something.But she showed an impassioned, frothy but plausible show of loyalty.Er Niang and the elder brothers were all taken aback.When did she become so unrecognizable.After thinking about it, I understood.She did not want to attract the emperor's attention, so she dressed like this.Seeing that she was an ordinary court lady, Huang Ama ignored her.

His mood was indifferent and unhappy.Watching Brother Ten and Thirteen drinking endlessly made me even more bored.Even sitting on one side is quiet.But he heard a faint voice behind him.

"Why is this Mingwei like this? Although I don't think she is a beautiful woman, she is also a lady from a famous family. It doesn't look like that at first glance. Unexpectedly, the Thirteenth Master and the Eighth Master..."

"Xiao Tao, don't say it. I'll be heard by the master." A voice interrupted the maid's words just now. "I think this Mingwei girl should be a very smart person."

"The maidservant is in front of Concubine Yi. It's called Wanyan, Qin. It belongs to Luo Cha's family," she said unhurriedly.

"Oh, so it belongs to his family."

"It was also drafted into the palace this year."

"Back to Lord Fourteen, yes." Wanyan said.Qin replied with a slight smile.

"Get up." Said Fourteen and left.But I do remember this woman. "Hey! I don't believe it, it can be more powerful than Mingwei from Yalarta's family." After saying that, he drank the glass of wine in his hand vigorously.At that time, my brother and I almost lost our temper without laughing.After drinking, he said, "I've never seen such a girl! It's a pity why she followed Shisan." He and Brother Jiu stopped when he said this.The starling just smiled slightly, "Tomorrow, I will match you with such a girl, so that you won't be bored all day long." The tenth brother said with a silly smile. "I can't take it. Besides, it's hard to find one like that."

Mingwei is such a woman who makes people hate, pity and love.

He went to the fourth brother's place, and saw that Xiao Wei was giving the same anti-alcohol pills to Li Hai who was next to the fourth brother, but she was still impartial to them.Not only did his heart sink, he grabbed her, squeezed her chin tightly, looked into her eyes, and wanted to see her heart.She wanted to push but couldn't open it.I couldn't hit it again, and I didn't want to bite me.Let go of your hand as soon as it hurts.Can't help but smile, this is her.Hehe...but seeing her standing up respectfully, every time she treats me with a businesslike look, I feel annoyed.He wants to tell her that he cares about her, misses her, and misses her.But the words always came to his lips and it was hard to get them out. He could only look at her like this, "Xiaowei, I..." Unfortunately.At this time, he heard the fourth brother coming in, so he had no choice but to change into his usual indifferent and lazy look.

He actually lost this opportunity, but he didn't expect to lose all future opportunities.After a few days, Empress Defei called him over.Said: "Xiaowei is smart and generous. I think your fourth brother and thirteenth brother are good to her. It's really hard for me to pay attention to whom to give him to? One is my own son, and the other is brought up by myself. Yes. They both care so much about her."

He half-seriously and half-jokingly said lazily: "It's not easy. If Er Niang encounters difficulties, she might as well give it to her son. I'm your most beloved son."

Empress Defei was shocked.The smile just now faded away. "My daughter's family is so good. It's really not a good thing. It seems that whether she will be a blessing or a curse in the future depends on her own destiny."

Seeing what Eunian said, he didn't say anything more.

After a few days, someone in the palace heard rumors that Er Niang was going to betroth Xiaowei to Shisan.He was still furious, thinking about hinting to Er Niang that he was interested in Xiao Wei a few days ago, but Er Niang...he rushed into Changchun Palace in a hurry.

Section VI

The concubine de concubine was embroidering with the maid next to her in the inner room, chatting and laughing.She was even more happy to see him coming, and motioned for the maid to pick up these bits and pieces.Passed him in.Although he felt resentful in his heart, he also suppressed it, and hurriedly greeted him.

Concubine De gave up her seat, and he anxiously wanted to ask about the thirteen-fingered marriage.He just said, "My son came today because I heard..."

Concubine De interrupted him with a smile and said: "Don't say it first, I heard that there is a happy event for you. Yesterday, the emperor asked Shisan and your age. I think you have reached the age to mention marriage. Let me find out which girl is more suitable for you."

He didn't expect that even his own marriage would be settled by them, and he was even more surprised.

Concubine De said unhurriedly: "He also smiled indifferently. He replied: Son has never seen this girl, so he doesn't know about it. The girls that son usually remembers are only a few from the empress's palace."

The more he listened, the colder his heart became, and it showed on his face.

"Er Niang asked Thirteenth Brother that Mingwei is his favorite, but your son you love the most all the time. Why don't you ask who you like." He just got up and knelt down. "The appearance of Mingde's daughter is no worse than others. Her temper is also gentle and pleasant. If you have a chance, Erniang will let you see her, and you will be satisfied."

Concubine De interrupted him with a slightly angry face: "Don't think that I've always been spoiled by you. You can just follow your own temper in everything. I know your thoughts, Shisan's thoughts, and even more so, your fourth brother's thoughts. But I will never allow you brothers to have a gap because of a woman, especially you and your fourth brother. I have never understood. Both of you were born by me. Why can’t you get together. Thirteen follows you all day long Brother. You follow the eighth brother every day. The two brothers are against each other everywhere. People in the palace say that I only love you, the little one. This is all uninformed people telling stories. Your fourth brother is my first son. I How could it not hurt. Three days after he was born, the emperor ordered him to be brought under the care of Concubine Tong. I dare not show any signs of color during the day. Only at night do I cry every night. Standing in front of the window facing Concubine Tong every night Looking in the direction of the palace, looking forward to seeing him at the imperial banquet during the holidays. How can you understand the pain in his heart. I haven’t seen Er Niang since I was a child. Although Tong Guifei looked down on him It's already out, but it's not as good as my own mother. Since you are sensible, you should be cautious in your words and deeds. And you have to be careful to cater to others. There is no relative who tells the truth around you. After a long time, it will become what you see He looks cold-hearted and cold-faced. Even my own mother is very close to him now. He can't say anything now. But the mother knows that my child is not like this. His heart is hot, It also needs heartache and concern. This time I can see that he has someone in his heart. I thought about what he meant, but I didn't think you would have the same thoughts as him. The girl is a good girl, so blame it You brothers should not fall in love at the same time, let me tell you, I am the same to you brothers from beginning to end, and I have not favored anyone, do you understand Er Niang's painstaking efforts?" Concubine De said.I burst into tears as I said.He couldn't help but took out a silk handkerchief and wiped away his tears.

Although he felt something in his heart, he was still not fair.

At this moment, he felt so grievous that he couldn't express it.Xiao Wei chose it by herself, it was her own idea, what else could he say?It's just that he knows that if Xiaowei chooses carefully, even if it's not him, it may not be Shisan.

At this moment.According to legend, there are people coming from the palace of the concubine Yi.It is said that Empress Yifei has invited empresses from various palaces, and she will go to Changyin Pavilion to listen to an opera later.

Concubine De and he listened, and then sat upright.The maid who announced Yifei came in.

When he saw the maid who came in, he had seen him before, she was Wanyan.Qin.She greeted Concubine De respectfully, and saw that he was also greeting him.

Complete Yan.Upon hearing this, Qin quickly knelt down. "Your Majesty, slave...?" The girl's face was flushed red.Also speechless. "Go back to your mother. Yes."

"Well, he is a beautiful child, and the Luo Cha family is worthy of him. It's just that this matter is a bit sudden. We have to discuss it with the emperor and the concubine Yi." At this time, Concubine De was already showing a tired look. "You all go down."

He and Wanyan.Only then did Qin invite An to retreat, Wanyan.Qin didn't look up at him again, greeted him and walked back.Suddenly he took her hand and asked her with a smile, "You don't want to."

In the blink of an eye, more than twenty years have passed. At that time, in order to be competitive, he actually married Qin'er in front of him.After the two got married, although they were not in every possible way, they were in love.It's also kind of like-minded and respectful to each other. "Grandfather, try this cloak. It was the emperor who rewarded the empress when he was hunting, and the empress rewarded me. It was useless to leave it alone. I heard that this winter is cold, so I personally changed it for the master." Fourteen put on the cloak and saw just now Appropriate, grateful.What relatives does he have now?Some are the same as none, the only one who can bring him warmth and care is this wife who has tied the hair, and she can't help but hold Fujin's hand.

"I'm really sorry for you these years." Seeing his true feelings, Fujin also had mixed feelings, leaning on Shishi's arms, and couldn't stop crying. "Miss, please come in and sit down." Mingyun smiled.Follow him into the house.The room was extraordinarily tidy, Mingyun put the food box on the dining table, and took out the food and wine pots inside and arranged them properly one by one.At this time, I saw a painting scroll spread out on the desk by the window, and beside it was an undried pen and ink, which I thought was just finished.I couldn't help but walked over.There are simple green bamboos in the painting. I saw that the brush strokes are calm and the ink is dripping. He smiled and said: "The green bamboos painted by the adults are dense, unrestrained and unrestrained. The charm of bamboo is already here!" "Girl His words add a lot of color to this painting."

Mingyun smiled but did not speak.Walking to the wine glass, he poured two glasses of wine and brought them to Tu Lichen.They raised their glasses to respect each other, "My lord, Mingyun is here to respect you." "You're welcome, girl," said the words, and drank it all in one gulp.Mingyun also had a drink with her.

Mingyun smiled sadly, "My lord, don't be offended. Mingyun has been trafficked since she was a child, and she doesn't know her name or name for a long time. If it wasn't for being taken into the house by the Fourteenth Master as a maid, the situation would be difficult. It has been predicted."

Tu Lichen never thought that this dignified and talented woman would have such a background, "I'm being rude, girl forgive me."

Mingyun smiled but did not answer, the two chatted all over the world while drinking, seeing that it was getting late, Mingyun got up to say goodbye, Tu Lichen stood up to return the salute, sent Mingyun out, and returned to the room to leave There is a faint lingering fragrance, I walked to the table and picked up the scroll just now, the aftertaste is still lingering.

Early in the morning, Tu Lichen sent Fujin away, and it was a pity to say goodbye, and Fujin inevitably burst into tears, and Ming Yun also had tears in her eyes.Fourteen is affectionate and hidden.Looking forward to each other.

The days that followed calmed down, Shisi continued as usual, exercising, talking about poetry with Mingyun, playing chess, but his attitude towards Tu Lichen changed somewhat.From time to time, the two practice martial arts together, and occasionally talk about the vicissitudes of history.Seeing this, Mingyun felt very comforted. It was always more comfortable for Fourteenth Master to discuss with a like-minded man than to be with her.She took care of Tu Lichen as meticulously as she took care of Shishi.They are not too polite to each other.Fourteen heard that his face changed instantly, and he was so angry that he let out a loud bang.Knocked over the whole chessboard.

Section Seven

Mingyun still entered the Forbidden City with the people in the palace.My heart is always uneasy.The emperor's summoning should not be a simple talk.But she is just a maidservant next to Master Fourteen, isn't it?I was shocked and didn't dare to think about it any more.He could only be led by the eunuchs into the palace gates, and there were occasional guards and maids who passed by on the road, and they all hurried past.Although there are many people coming and going to the palace.Everywhere he went was quiet and solemn.

Not long after, Mingyun was taken to the side hall of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and the eunuch waiting at the door took her into the back hall, and at a glance she saw the emperor in bright yellow brocade robe with a stern expression.There was a hint of uneasiness in his light tone.

Yongzheng has just come down to the court and is reviewing the collection of chapters.She just lifted her head slightly and glanced at her. Mingyun didn't dare to look at her, but she could feel that the gaze was complicated and difficult to guess.

"Get up and answer." Seeing the emperor put down the note.The guards all around have retreated, only the accompanying eunuchs are standing by.

"How long have you been with Fourteen?" Yongzheng's tone was not angry but mighty.

"It's been ten years since I returned to the emperor." Mingyun answered cautiously.

"What about the one before this. Where are you?"

"Back to the emperor, my servant was kidnapped and displaced since childhood. Thanks to the rescue of the Fourteenth Master, I have a place to live."

Mingyun took the scroll from the eunuch and looked at it. The painting inside was a woman.Wearing the fine attire of the Manchu nobles, with a dignified and playful smile, she is slim and charming. "You have seen this woman before," Yongzheng looked at her and asked in a deep voice.

"The servant has never seen it before." She replied simply.

Yongzheng snorted coldly, and continued to ask, "I think your eyebrows are somewhat like hers."

A cold light flashed in Yongzheng's eyes, like an ice cone piercing Mingyun's eyes.There was still a slight smile on his face.

"Do you know what a crime it is to lie to Sheng Jia."

"Mingyun doesn't dare. I hope the emperor will sign it." She knew that this tribulation would be impossible.Hastily knelt down.

At this time, someone informed that Prince Yi was waiting for an order outside the palace, and Yongzheng immediately issued an order to see him.Prince Yi Yunxiang hurried into the hall to greet the emperor.

Mingyun also greeted the prince who entered the palace.This heads up.Thirteen's face changed slightly.Just waited a moment to calm down.There was a look of disappointment in his eyes.Mingyun also noticed this Prince Yi, with a thin complexion, dark eyes that seemed to be full of affection, but he had sword eyebrows and starry eyes that were heroic.This demeanor was comparable to that of the Fourteenth Master.

"Prince Yi. She is the fourteenth girl I mentioned to you. Mingyun." There was some desolation in Yongzheng's eyes.

Although Shisan was prepared in his heart, he still couldn't control his excitement after hearing it.Approaching Mingyun: "Mingyun, tell me. Where is Xiaowei now? Is she doing well? Does she know that I miss her day and night! I want to see her again. "When she said this, Thirteen's eyes were full of tears.

She looked at this sad man, and she knew that this was the man who fell in love with a woman at the same time as the emperor and the Fourteenth Lord.It is also the man who this woman gave up her life to save.She couldn't hold back her tears, knelt down, and supported Shisan.

"Master Thirteen. The slaves really don't know..."

After hearing this, Yongzheng also stood up, approached Mingyun who was kneeling, stared at her closely, and said word by word: "Ten years ago in the winter, you met Shisi and begged for help, begging him to save you." You. But he left you because of the emperor’s order. Afterwards, he searched for you everywhere, but he never found you. Until one day a year later, he suddenly brought you into the Fourteenth Prince’s Palace. Where were you in the middle of the year? Woolen cloth?"

"The servant girl was sold into the Chunxiang Tower at that time." Ming Yun straightened her body and replied.

Yongzheng grabbed her arm, and said coldly: "You are still lying to me until now! The person who betrayed you back then has already locked him up in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He has already confessed, do you still want to confront me? I know you don't I said, there are difficulties, but do you know how I feel. The dispute between the princes back then was because of me, so that Prince Yi was framed, and the thirteen Fujin were also harmed. I owe them too much in my heart. Although I can She secretly rescued the Thirteen Fujins, but she was always worried that those who plotted wrongly would frame me and Prince Yi, and she was afraid that the former emperor would pursue the matter again. So she swore to the death not to let me arrange it, but went away alone without knowing whereabouts. Since I ascended the throne, there is not a single day that I am not looking for her. There is not a single day that is not..." She stopped while speaking.Yongzheng wanted to say this, but he couldn't say it.

"Don't you really have the heart not to let the prince see Xiaowei again, really have the heart not to let them renew their relationship. Mingyun, you can bear it." Yongzheng's voice was cold, but his eyes were affectionate.Every word is sincere.

Thirteen's eyes were red with pain.Enduring grief.But he looked at Mingyun full of expectation.

"Your majesty, lord, it's not that Mingyun is cruel, it's because the maidservant promised Miss Xiaowei that she would never tell anyone. Even if it is death, Mingyun can't break her vow!" Mingyun cried bitterly.

This sentence shocked Shisan and also stunned Yongzheng.He helped Mingyun up.The voice was also softened.

"Just tell me how you met Xiaowei and how you got to Fourteen's place."

This memory is good for Mingyun.It is also brutal.When she was sitting on the snow in despair, she thought that her whole life would be spent in Chunxiang Building.Just when she was so desperate, a pair of warm hands pulled her up.She is a young woman.Although the clothes are simple, there is an air of nobility all over the body.She is gentle, beautiful, and intelligent. In Ming Yun's heart, she is a fairy who came to rescue her from heaven.

The snowy winter is cold, but now she can be in a warm house.Eating sweet meals.And there is a sister who cares about her.She never tried to think that she could be so happy.

She nodded happily.

"Sister Xiaowei, I will be yours from now on. I will do whatever you ask me to do. I will serve you and listen to you for the rest of my life." "Stupid girl. You have to decide your own path, you will always be Your own. No one else's."

She just shook her head not understanding.Xiaowei gently pinched her little nose and said that I will teach you in the future so that you can understand.

She was brought to the south by Xiao Wei from the north.Xiaowei said: The climate in the south is good.The air is humid, there is no winter or cold, the scenery is beautiful, and the people are outstanding.We settled down in West Lake, Hangzhou.I have lived a life of boating on the West Lake, a paradise on earth.hehe.Just think about it.This is how Xiaowei said words that no one else had ever said all day long.

Sometimes when the weather is too hot, Xiaowei would stand in the yard and talk to her in the evening. "It's hot. I wish there was air conditioning. We don't have to be so hot."

"At night, the candles just don't light up. Yun'er will become short-sighted sooner or later when she reads like this. It would be great if there were electric lights."

She thought that she was young and had little knowledge at that time.don't know.But after so many years, she still didn't understand what Xiaowei was talking about.Sometimes she thought maybe that was the life of fairies in heaven.

Their life is warm, peaceful and full of fun.These are the happiest days of her life.However, she gradually discovered that Xiaowei was not as cheerful and carefree as she seemed during the day.

She noticed that Xiaowei sometimes stayed awake for several nights in a row.Sitting at the desk, writing all night.I shed tears while writing.But still kept writing.Sometimes she would put away a page or two and take a peek.Most of them are small jokes that Xiaowei told her or didn't tell.Although the content is laughable.But seeing the tears on this paper is heartbreaking and painful.And Xiaowei sometimes just looks at the brush and sits silently, sitting still all night.From time to time, I would touch the finger wrench I carried with me, and when I touched it, a series of tears would flow.Every time I see Xiaowei like this.She was sad and cried too.

Sometimes Xiaowei would hug her and murmur:

"Yun'er, one day when you grow up, you will meet someone who loves you. You will also meet someone you love. Some people are worthy of your love, waiting, and even death. No matter what dangers and difficulties you encounter They are all willing to share for him. But there are also some people you can’t love, you can’t talk about them, you can only bury them in your heart and miss them silently. That’s because there is only one choice. You have to cherish and care for what you choose. There is no choice. can't..."

At that time, she always said firmly after listening to it. "Yun'er only thinks about her sister all her life. She only loves her. She doesn't think about anyone, she doesn't love anyone."

Xiaowei smiled sadly: "You're talking stupid again, that's different."

In this way, she often accompanied Xiaowei through this completely sleepless night.

The days passed quickly.Winter goes to spring.Another year.This year.Yun'er regards Xiaowei as her closest family member, her mother, sister and teacher.Xiao Wei also cared for her with the utmost care, taking care of her like jewels and treasures.

Just one day.She was practicing calligraphy in the room, when Miss Xiaowei hurried into the room, closed the door, and said to her.

"It seems that someone has been following me when I go out today. I think we are leaving this place. We will leave tomorrow. Yun'er, pack up your things."

Although she was very reluctant to part with this family, there was a reason for Xiaowei to leave.The two of them began to pack the soft and simple things they usually use.Xiaowei also asked the old gardener to hire a carriage outside, and planned to leave early tomorrow morning.

Unexpectedly, at night, an uninvited guest came and changed her life ever since.

Section [-]

The person who came was wearing a moon-white gown, he was very elegant, his face was as white as jade, and his eyebrows were clear, she had never seen such a handsome man.It's just that this person is too feminine and less heroic.

When Xiaowei saw him, she made a gesture first, then calmed down, and invited him into the house.Turning around, let her go back to the back room to sleep.Greet guests personally in the outer hall.Where is she willing to sleep.Stealthily stood by the door.look out.

"Please sit down." Xiaowei offered to sit down.

"Thirteen Fujin, don't come here unharmed." The visitor smiled slightly.

Xiaowei smiled lightly, "Eighth Master really has a lot of eyes and ears, I didn't expect to find me in Hangzhou so soon."

"Actually, I didn't expect that I would meet my younger brother and sister when I came to Hangzhou on business this time!" The eighth master smiled like a spring breeze and was extremely warm.Only the eyes are cold and unfeeling.

Xiaowei stood up and said firmly: "This trip will probably disappoint Ba Ye. I will never let you use me to frame them again, not even the dead body."

Eighth Master laughed, then suddenly his face changed, and he said gloomyly: "Who are they? Your husband Thirteenth Brother is the one who rescued you from Yinzhen. Tell you. I can do what I want to do. I think he I can really rescue you without anyone noticing. Hmph! Siblings, please sit down and talk!" Xiaowei ignored him, still standing there upright.

This eighth master doesn't mind either.Holding the tea by himself, he sipped it slowly, "Framed! Hehe! At the beginning, it was Shisan who thought he could take the blame for others. But he ended up in such a situation, but I didn't expect it. You have such great courage to rescue Him." Eighth Master smiled and said:

"None of our brothers has ever framed anyone. This war is to find the truth that you die or I live."

After hearing this, Xiao Wei said coldly, "What exactly does Master Eight want?"

Unexpectedly, Ba Ye changed the subject, "Did you think I didn't know that Yin Zhen saved you that day? I'm just curious why you leaned towards them as soon as you entered the palace. Your father and brother are mine. Logically, you should understand .But you chose him anyway."

When saying this.He lost his smile, and just held onto Xiao Wei's wrist tightly. Xiao Wei couldn't struggle, so she pushed him away.

When Xiaowei pushed him away, Ba Ye's expression softened, "Ruwei, Ruyun...you are very similar to sisters. You even changed your name from Mingzi to Ruzi. It must be because you don't want to let others found it."

There was some doubt in Xiaowei's eyes.Looking at him puzzled.Ba Ye was still smiling, but this smile was much more gentle.

"Thirteen is really a blessing, to have a woman like you who would give up everything for him, even sacrifice her life. If I can have such a woman, I will definitely not let her suffer at all."

Xiao Wei looked into his eyes, "You will. If you choose from your childhood dreams, you will."

"You..." Both of them stopped talking suddenly.

"You leave here quickly tomorrow, because your father and brother must have done something to me, and I will not be so heartless. I will not look for you again. It's just that you have to hide it yourself and don't let others find it. Because, It's not just me who wants to use you. But..." He paused and continued:
"I want to take away the child beside you," the words of Master Ba made Xiaowei immediately alert.

Ba Ye waved his hand and said: "Don't be nervous, in fact, I was able to find you because of this child. Fourteen also met this child at the time, but at that time he was charged with the emperor's life and could not be rescued. Afterwards, he searched frantically. I After inquiring about the news, I did not expect to find you. Taking her away is not only for her own good, but also for your own good, and I promised Shisi that I will help him find this child back."

"No. This child can't leave me." Xiaowei is not willing to leave it to him.

It's just that she listened in the back room.But she ran out, knelt down and said, "Sister, I am willing to go with him. I am willing, please agree." She cried.

Xiaowei was really puzzled. "Yun'er, no one here will force you, let alone make you do what you don't want to do."

"Sister, Yun'er can't burden you anymore." Although she didn't quite understand what they said, she finally understood that it was because of her that Miss Xiaowei met someone she didn't want to see.It was also because of her that this man found them.

Xiaowei herself is in a dangerous situation, wandering around, if one day.If anything goes wrong, the child will follow her.Xiaowei didn't dare to think about it.I had to say to Ba Ye: "Okay. I'll give you the child. But, you must not keep yourself by your side. You will be the winner in the future. I don't want her to have any accidents in the future."

Just like that, she left with Ba Ye.I never saw Xiaowei again.Eighth Master also kept his promise and never looked for Xiao Wei again, and never told anyone. He met Xiao Wei, and he didn't even tell Fourteen.And she has followed Fourteen ever since.The Fourteenth Master was very kind to her and asked her what her name was.She said it was Ruyun, but Master Fourteen said you should be called Mingyun from now on.More elegantly, Mingyun knew that her sister's name was not Ruwei but Mingwei, so she agreed.Since then, she has buried this year's life deeply in her heart, and only in the middle of the night will she think about this elder sister who once gave her warmth.She used to have such a happy life.

Yongzheng and Prince Yi listened to the story.Hearing that Xiaowei still misses them so much and made all the sacrifices for them, I can't help but feel heartbroken.I was even more surprised that Lao Ba had found Xiao Wei.And she kept this secret for Xiaowei until her death.

Prince Yi was in unbearable grief, and couldn't help but shed tears.He pulled Mingyun and said, "Miss Mingyun, take me to find her, and tell me, where did you live at that time?"

"My lord, Miss Xiaowei won't live there anymore."

Yongzheng endured all the grief and said: "Thirteenth brother, don't worry, I will definitely find Xiaowei at all costs."

This is a woman who makes people miss, hurts, cares about, and can't help but love.Where did she go?

It was dusk when Mingyun returned to Shouhuang Palace.The hall was still so quiet.Detailed and.She knew that she couldn't hide from Fourteen what she told the Emperor and Prince Yi's Miss Xiaowei today, and she told Fourteen everything when she saw Fourteen.

Fourteen's face turned pale when he heard this, and he couldn't help but fly into a rage.Pointing to Mingyun, he said:

"You. You have lied to me for so many years. I have lost my trust in you for so many years. I have never taught you so carefully for my own princess. I am so disappointed. You go. Go, Let's go...!"

Mingyun shed too many tears this day.She doesn't want to cry anymore.Resisting forcefully, he said, "Master Fourteen. Sister Xiaowei has never belonged to you."

After finishing speaking, she ran back to her room. She never thought of this.From the first time she saw him since she was a child, the majestic Fourteen was her hero in her heart. She adored him, respected him, and even loved him deeply.But he has always taught her and cared for her like a daughter, but he has never treated her as a grown woman.Sad look when seeing Fourteen miss Xiaowei.She is also sad.Who knows her heart?

Fourteen was angry and hated in her own room.Everyone knows that Xiaowei is not dead.Even the starlings knew about it, but they were all hiding it from him, and even Ming Yun knew it and was hiding it from him.He thought he was really a failure.He has always been proud and arrogant, but now he is deceived everywhere.How can he accept such a fact.In this way, for two days in a row, he shut himself in the house without eating or drinking.No one was seen.

On the afternoon of the third day, things got worse.Tu Lichen hurriedly knocked on the door of the fourteenth house and said:
"Master Fourteen. Come out quickly. The emperor sent an order."

"What else is he going to do?" Fourteen's voice was hoarse and heavy.

"The emperor sent an edict that the fourteenth Fujin is in critical condition. You are allowed to go home and visit immediately."

"What?" Fourteen opened the door and ran out.He looks a lot haggard. "Hurry up. Take me back." When he arrived, he saw Fourteen Fujin lying on the bed.The maid is feeding the decoction, and the medicine can no longer be fed.Fourteen was anxious, so he asked the maids to stand aside.Come and feed yourself.

"Qin'er, Qin'er. I'm back. Open your eyes and look at me," Fourteen said softly.

Fourteen Fujin seemed to hear Fourteen's voice.Reluctantly opened his eyes, "Am I dreaming? Are you back?"

Fourteen picked up Fujin and let her lean against his chest.She whispered: "It's me, Qin'er, I'm here to accompany you. You'll be fine after you take the medicine."

Fujin smiled slightly, and said, "Master, I know I can't hold on anymore. Now that I can die in your arms, I'm content. Qin'er doesn't know if you can come back. Does Qin'er look ugly now?"

Fourteen couldn't help wiping the tears on his face, and said, "Why is Qin'er so ugly? Qin'er has always been the most beautiful in my heart."

Hearing this, Fujin's face flushed slightly.It's like a young girl who has just begun to love: "Qin'er remembers seeing the Fourteenth Lord for the first time. You are deeply imprinted in Qin'er's heart. Later, you said to your empress that you would marry Qin'er as the first wife Qin'er is really happy. Master is very kind to Qin'er. But Qin'er knows that the person in Master's heart is not Qin'er. Qin'er is very sad. But Qin'er has worked very hard. I just hope that Master You can be happy."

Fourteen burst into tears, choked up and said: "I have Qin'er in my heart, and Qin'er is the best. You will get better soon. I begged the fourth brother. Let's reunite as a family. Would you say it's okay?"

Qin'er smiled and fell asleep, and in the next few days, Shisi stayed by Fujin's side.But Fourteen Fujin didn't persist for a few days, so he went.Fourteen did not realize how important his wife was to him until now.In a long life, how many people can really care and love themselves?Only when you know how to cherish can you know happiness. Unfortunately, everyone knows this truth, but everyone will deeply understand it at the end.

Fourteen finished preparing for Fujin's funeral and returned to the Shouhuang Palace.Mingyun has been taking care of her.He had stopped blaming her, and she was right.Xiaowei has never belonged to him.

Mingyun is drying clothes in the yard.Tu Lichen came over. "Girl, I'm here to resign."

"Where are you going?" Mingyun asked.

"The emperor wants me to go to Siberia and visit the Turghut tribe in the lower reaches of the Volga River. I don't know how long I will be back from this trip," Tu Lichen seemed to have something to say, but he didn't know where to start.

"My lord, please take care. I heard that it's freezing there, and the seasons are like ice." Ming Yun said with concern.

"Thank you for your concern, Miss. I don't know if I will always be in the Shouhuang Palace? Have you ever thought about the future?"

"My lord is just joking. I'm just an orphan, and I grew up with the Fourteenth Master. Where the Fourteenth Master is, Mingyun will be there." Mingyun smiled and said, "If the girl is willing, I can..." Lichen really didn't know how to talk to Mingyun.If Mingyun is willing, he really wants to give her happiness.

Mingyun knew what he was thinking, but it was impossible for her to leave Master Fourteen now.She was about to decline politely, when the guard at the gate told her that Prince Yi was here.He said he wanted to see Mingyun.

Mingyun bid farewell to Tu Lichen, and came to the front of the hall to see Prince Yi, "Mingyun sees Prince Yi."

"Miss, please get up." Prince Yi was in better spirits, looking at Mingyun with dark eyes, and then said: "Miss, I have thought about it carefully. Xiaowei must have left it for you to find her when she separated from you." Clues, with her personality, she will not ignore you. If you can't live with others, you can still go back to her. Just tell me. I know Xiaowei misses me. She is waiting for me. "

"Mingyun, just tell Prince Yi. Where is Xiaowei?" At this time Fourteen also walked into the hall.

"The ground is full of sorrow, and Yuandi regrets returning home. Sister Xiaowei said that her original name should be Qiangwei, and she can be found in places full of roses. Prince Yi, that's really all the slaves know." Ming Yun Finally, I told Thirteen the last thing I knew.

Thirteen cheered up immediately, and said happily, "If you know this clue, you can definitely find it. I'll go to Jiangsu right now. The roses are in full bloom in April. Thank you, girl."

Thirteen turned to Fourteen and patted Fourteen on the shoulder, saying, "Thank you, Brother Fourteen."

Fourteen also patted Thirteen on the shoulder and said, "You must find her back. Give her happiness again."

Thirteen told the emperor for leave and went to Jiangsu.I stayed here for more than ten days in a row, and went to many big flower markets and flower gardens, but there was no news of Xiaowei.But Shisan still had hope, he thought he was always looking for it in busy places recently.Should I go to a quieter place to have a look?So he turned around and took people to a small town closer to the countryside.There are quite a lot of people who grow flowers here.

Walking along the way, the enchanting and beautiful scenery of the south of the Yangtze River is everywhere.Shisan also walked past several yards planted with roses, but Xiaowei was never seen, although the scenery was beautiful.But it has been flawlessly appreciated.

At this time, there was a little girl about five or six years old in the distance.Bounced and ran over.Still humming in his mouth.

"Loving you is not for two or three days, but I miss you many times every day..." The latter is basically humming a tune, but the tune is quite accurate. "Little girl, who taught you to sing this song?"

The little girl looked up at him, rolled her eyes, and said in a childlike voice, "Who taught me. Of course it was my mother who taught me."

Shisan was stunned and asked again: "Who is your mother?"

The little girl Pian Pianzui said unhappily: "Mother is mother, who else can it be!"

"Can you take me to see your mother?" Shisan wanted to ask the child but couldn't find anything.

The little girl blinked her eyes wide and thought for a while and said, "But my father said that I won't let me bring home someone I don't know."

Shisan Yi's expression changed slightly.Xiaowei, she won't, she won't, Xiaowei will definitely wait for him.Wait for him to pick her up.

Quickly asked again: "Then where are you going now?"

The little girl still sounded like a baby, and said slowly: "I'll go to Luoxi Xiaozhu to find my mother!"

"Love the small building. The ground is full of sorrow, and the edge of the embankment is full of regret," Thirteen murmured with a slightly happy face.

"Xiaowei must be cherishing Xiaozhu. It must be."

"Little girl, can you take me to Luoxi Xiaozhu?"

The little girl looked at this strange man.He sighed and said, "Okay. You don't look like the bad guy my father said. I'll take you there. But you can't pick any of the roses in our yard, you know?"

Thirteen nodded happily. "Don't worry, we won't pick a single branch." The little girl was still humming, bouncing and leading the way.After turning a small road, we came to a very elegant and exquisite small door, on which a little girl was engraved to open the door.Looking up, the inner yard is full of roses.There were two women standing in the courtyard.The little girl ran over happily.

"Mother" the two women turned their heads at the same time.The little girl threw herself into the arms of one of them and said excitedly:
"Someone asked me to bring him to Luoxi Xiaozhu?"

And Thirteen had already seen it.Standing next to the little girl's mother is Xiao Wei, who he misses day and night and cannot forget.Xiao Wei also looked at him with a smile.Only then did I find out that it was thirteen.Thirteen is what she misses day and night.The two meet.Thousands of words were just turned into tears at this time.They looked at each other with ecstasy, forgetting time and space, forgetting everything, and only seeing each other in their eyes.Thirteen walked quickly.He touched Xiaowei's cheek with his hand.Xiaowei held Shisan's hand.They hugged each other tightly.

】postscript

The Shouhuang Palace two years later.

Mingyun ran to Fourteen's room and said happily, "Master Fourteen, Prince Yi and Miss Xiaowei have arrived."

Hearing this on Shisiyi, his face showed joy: "Come on, go out with me to meet them. I haven't seen them for some days."

Shisan and Xiaowei have already entered the courtyard.Mingyun hurried over to grab Xiaowei.Fourteen invited Thirteen into the house.

Thirteen looked at Xiaowei and Mingyun with a smile and said, "You?" Mingyun blushed when she heard that. "The lord is happy with the slaves again."

Fourteen smiled and looked at Mingyun: "You should give someone a message. I think Tu Lichen is a talent. Besides, you can't stay with me forever. Let Brother Thirteen and Xiaowei decide this matter." Alright."

Mingyun also met Tu Lichen several times in the past two years.I was also deeply moved by his sincere feelings.But how could she have the heart to let Master Fourteen be here alone?

Ming Yun blushed and said, "No matter who Ming Yun marries, she will serve the Fourteenth Lord here."

Xiaowei patted Mingyun's head lightly and said with a smile, "Did this girl agree?"

Everyone laughed. ... The entire Shouhuang Palace was filled with warm and happy laughter.
