The Biography of Concubine Xi of Yongzheng

Chapter 617
Yan Hua, who was eavesdropping in the East Nuan Pavilion, almost wanted to go out and stop when she heard Yinzhen pushing Zhang Ruoai away.However, after all, she had a sense of proportion in her heart, and she still didn't take that step after enduring it.

It was quiet outside for a while, just when Yanhua thought there was no turning point at all, she suddenly heard Zhang Ruoai's voice sounded firm in her tone: "Your Majesty, forgive me! I heard from my father last year that the Emperor deliberately The fifth princess pointed out to the minister as his wife, I wonder if the emperor still remembers this?"

When Yinzhen heard that he finally mentioned this matter, he raised his head and snorted with a half-smile: "I remember, but I also remember that Zhang Tingyu also came to me specifically for this matter." He has always been stingy People, how could they let go of the emperor's face and reveal even the slightest bit of desire for Zhang Ruoai to be the forehead.

Zhang Ruoai's face turned pale, and she understood what Yin Zhen meant.At the beginning, he didn't expect his father to really convince the emperor. After Zhang Tingyu went back so that he didn't have to worry about that matter anymore, he sincerely admired his father.

However, during this year, seeing that the emperor had not intended to marry him for a long time, his mother became anxious, and asked him in private, could it be that the emperor held a grudge and deliberately delayed his marriage without giving any pointers?His mother was most concerned about the marriage, she thought she would not offend the emperor, but now it seems that the emperor is not that generous.

Therefore, since the first two months, his mother began to urge Zhang Tingyu to ask for a wife for him in front of the emperor, and the emperor may have forgotten it.I also nagged a few times, saying that you are a princess, and although your speech and behavior are a bit bold, there is no major fault, and it is actually quite good.

As soon as Zhang Ruoai's mother let go, Zhang Tingyu stopped insisting, and laughed along with Kua.

Zhang Ruoai is an opinionated person, and her thoughts will not be changed because of them.But with a good smile, he is the one who sees it most clearly.She is a person who hates evil as much as hatred but treats those around her very well, and she can see clearly what is in her heart through her eyes.

In the past, whenever he mentioned Xiaoxiao, he would hate him in various ways; but now, when he mentions Xiaoxiao, he has endless praises.

Hongli told him that there is only one Xiaoxiao, and once he is pointed out to someone else, he will never have another chance.Whether the matter of being Xiaoxiao's son-in-law is a deep hole or not, he has to weigh it himself.He deliberately excused his illness and didn't go to Shang's study yesterday, but in the end he always felt that something was missing in his heart.He asked himself carefully just now, if he really didn't see Xiaoxiao again, would he regret it?

After Zhang Ruoai figured out her intentions, Chao Yinzhen kowtowed a few times: "The emperor is clearly aware! The crimes committed at the beginning were all committed by me alone, and have nothing to do with my father. I am willing to accept punishment, but I ask the emperor to be my minister and the five princesses again." Refers to marriage!"

"Hmph, I want to point out, but you don't want to. You want to ask, why should I agree?"

Zhang Ruoai frowned regretfully, and then kowtowed heavily: "It's because I don't know the princess's goodness that I committed such an ignorant mistake, I hope the emperor will help me!"

"Back off." Yinzhen curled his mouth secretly, he didn't expect that he thought he was going to lose, but he won instead.But this Zhang Ruoai has already expressed his intentions, so he naturally wants to remember Zhang Ruoai well, lest he think that this marriage is so easy to ask.

"Your Majesty! Please help me!" Since Zhang Ruoai had already decided to marry Xiaoxiao, she naturally refused to give up so easily.The emperor has not agreed, how can he leave.Xiaoxiao was so mad at him, the more he thought about it, the more anxious he became.The father-in-law Fang told him that the little princess was so sick that she kept chanting his name, and she shed tears while chanting.

After hearing this, he was very anxious, okay?
"My lord, please step back." Su Peisheng saw that Yinzhen no longer paid attention to Zhang Ruoai, and after knowing the emperor's words, he really wanted to dare Zhang Ruoai to leave, so he walked over quietly and invited him to leave.

Zhang Ruoai felt extremely sad, even though she was extremely remorseful, there was nothing she could do.

After the people retreated, Yanhua came out from the East Nuan Pavilion, with an obvious reproach on her face: "The emperor should make him anxious, but there is no need to push him away like this."

Su Peisheng, who came back from the outside, gave the two a thousand slaps, and said in a low voice, "Go back to your mother, Mr. Zhang has not left, but is kneeling outside."

"Oh?" Yinzhen raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and glanced outside, "What is he kneeling outside?"

"Master Zhang said that if the emperor doesn't say something, he won't leave. The servant persuaded me for a long time, but Master Zhang refused to listen."

"Let him go." Yinzhen swayed his legs, smiled unhurriedly, and twitched his brows triumphantly.

"Your Majesty, this..." Yan Hua shook her head helplessly, then turned to look at Su Peisheng, "Go and tell Editor Zhang, it's hot today, it's not good for him to kneel down like this and break his body. Besides, this palace gate It will be closed at You hour, so he can't kneel all night, right?"

"Hey, ma'am, the servant just said that Mr. Zhang said that he would leave before the palace gate closed. If he doesn't get an answer from the emperor, he will come and kneel tomorrow."

"Hmph, does he have nothing to do? Kneeling here makes me feel awkward." Yinzhen was unmoved by hearing this, and raised his eyebrows triumphantly.

Yanhua glanced at Su Peisheng, motioned him to back down, then approached Yinzhen, frowned and advised him: "Your Majesty, it's almost over, what are you doing so hard for him?"

"If he does what he says, I will propose marriage on the first day of July. Tomorrow will be June [-]th, and I will make this kid suffer. Marry if you want to marry, and don't want to marry if you don't want to marry. Where I can let him." Unmoved, Yinzhen pointed to the cinnabar ingot on his right, and asked Yanhua to help grind some cinnabar ink.

At noon, the sun was very strong.Yanhua was afraid that Zhang Ruoai would get sick from the sun, so she went out to have a look.

Sure enough, he was a weak Confucian student, how could he stand such exposure.When Yanhua went out to look, his complexion was as pale as the white marble sculpture next to him, as if he would fall down at any moment.

"Go back quickly, what can I do if I kneel here and ruin my body?"

Zhang Ruoai looked up and saw that it was Concubine Xi, and immediately kowtowed to her: "Your Majesty, please go back quickly, it will be bad if you suffer from the heat."

Seeing that he was very stubborn, Yanhua knew that she couldn't persuade him, so she had to ask someone to hold up an umbrella to shade him from the sun.Thanks to Yanhua, someone covered such an umbrella, otherwise, with Zhang Ruoai's body, she would definitely fall down.

Seeing that Yinzhen was calmly reviewing papers, Yanhua finally lost her temper: "Does the emperor really want him to faint outside?"

"What is Chanchan in such a hurry for?" Yinzhen glanced at her and wiped the sweat off her nose with his hand, "I just want him to understand that even if his father is an important minister, he has no reason to trample on me at will. decree. The decree is not issued immediately, nor can it be resisted.”

Seeing that he spoke seriously, Yanhua knew that he was somewhat petty in his heart, so she didn't persuade him anymore.After all, what he said was not unreasonable, but she thought that Zhang Tingyu was not the kind of person who would be proud of being favored, and would never be so arrogant as to resist the edict repeatedly.

When it was almost time to pass the meal, Xiaoxiao hurried over.She was just pretending to be sick, and had been eating and drinking in her small courtyard.After taking a nap at noon, she asked someone to go to the Shang's study to see if Zhang Ruoai had something to bring her. Only then did she know that Zhang Ruoai had gone to see the emperor when it was close to noon, and she never went back.

That Eunuch Fang went to look outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and saw Zhang Ruoai kneeling outside from a distance, so he ran back to tell Xiaoxiao in fright.

Hearing this, Xiaoxiao became impatient: "How long has he been kneeling? Could it be that he made Huang Ama angry? It's so hot outside, seeing how weak his body is, it would be strange if he didn't kneel down."

But Eunuch Fang didn't know what to ask, so Xiaoxiao didn't care about pretending to be sick, and rushed to the Hall of Mental Cultivation in a panic.Seeing a person kneeling there with his spine upright from a distance, her eyes suddenly became sore for some reason.

"Why are you kneeling here? Have you made my Huang Ama angry? Tell me, and I will go and intercede for you." Xiaoxiao was afraid of the heat, and her face was smothered by the heat along the way. It was flushed red, and by the time she reached Zhang Ruoai, her face was dripping with sweat.

Zhang Ruoai looked up and saw her anxious little face, and suddenly realized that she was very beautiful, and after two years of growing up, she must be a beauty embryo.

He slowly raised the corners of his mouth, and smiled palely: "I begged the emperor to propose a marriage for us, but the emperor did not agree, so I begged again until the emperor agreed."

When Xiaoxiao first heard this, she felt warm first, then her nose became sour, and she burst into tears with a "wow": "You...you agree? Do I not need to marry to Mongolia?"

Zhang Ruoai's lips were pale, so even though he wanted to smile softly, he still looked weak and weak: "If the emperor agrees, the princess won't have to marry so far away. I used to... I didn't know how to cherish it, but now... I hope it's still too late. "

Xiaoxiao raised her hand to wipe away her tears, turned around and scolded Eunuch Fang: "What are you doing standing there stupidly! Why don't you order some tea for him? If he is thirsty, I will punish you without drinking water for three days!" "

Eunuch Fang nodded in fright, turned around and left.

"You wait, I'll go in and beg Emma Huang, don't get sunburned!" Xiaoxiao ran inside while wiping away tears.

Zhang Ruoai smiled weakly, hey, she was so caring about people, and he felt speechless after hearing it, thanks to her not saying the word "sunburned", otherwise he really wanted to roll his eyes and faint passed.

Fate loves to tease people like this, and after kneeling for so long now, the doubts in his heart gradually became clear.He knew that the emperor would definitely point Xiaoxiao to him as his wife, so now he just wants to see his sincerity?If the emperor didn't have this idea, he wouldn't have specially arranged for him to teach Xiaoxiao painting in Shang's study.

"Huang Ama!" Xiaoxiao knelt down with a "plop" as soon as she entered, her little face had already been crying like a cat, she didn't bother to wipe it off, and immediately kowtowed a few times, " Huang Ama will help Erchen and editor Zhang... woooooo...Didn't Huang Ama say before that she would point him to Erchen as the forehead?"

If not, she would not have subconsciously developed an unusual affection for Zhang Ruoai later.

Seeing that she was crying like this, Yan Hua worriedly stepped forward to wipe her tears, and then knelt down together: "The emperor will fulfill these two children, my concubine looks at it...it really hurts."

"You guys are like that, but it turns me into a stick to beat mandarin ducks?"
