Qing court ladies

Chapter 74
She was too scared to know what to do, the morning sun was shining, Su Yue changed her clothes, and was going to talk to Xiao Lizi, but she ran into Gui An who came to look for her, and then she remembered that Kangxi was inspecting the Yongding River project today, and she To drive along.

Kangxi's entourage was mighty, and all the princes and ministers accompanied him. Because Su Yue hadn't slept all night, she had something in her heart and she was in a trance.Slowly, he didn't keep up with Kangxi's footsteps, and retreated to the prince's side.

"Su Yue, what's the matter with you?" The prince smiled gently, with concern in his voice.But like a lightning strike in Su Yue's ears, she looked up at the smiling prince in horror.

The prince was startled by Suyue's eyes, and the smile on his face was a little bit unbearable, Suyue woke up and smiled wryly, "Prince, please forgive me, this slave didn't sleep well last night, I startled the prince."

The prince was stunned, and the smile appeared on his face again, "It's okay, Huang Ama gave some incense for calming the nerves a few days ago, and I will send you some."

Su Yue obviously did not expect the crown prince to be so concerned, she shook her head with a smile, and was busy apologizing for the crime, the crown prince laughed at himself, obviously remembering what Su Yue wanted, and which round he would reward, seeing the awkward atmosphere, Su Yue dared not explain, After saluting and leaving, he trotted after Kangxi, met Gui'an's concerned eyes, and smiled slightly.

The river workers of Yongding River were busy building embankments. When they saw Kangxi coming, they put down their work and knelt aside, guarded by guards.

Yinzhen was reporting to Kangxi with the drawings, pointing to the map and the river from time to time, the other princes walked to the river and were talking with the river workers, only the prince stayed by Kangxi's side.

Stop and go all the way, the sun is already in the middle.The supervisor blew the trumpet, and guards came to put the food in a wooden cart. Kangxi ordered Li Dequan to get a portion. He saw that the black porcelain bowl was filled with soup, some yellowed rice, and boiled vegetables. Glossy dishes, frowning tightly, "Fourth, does He Gong eat these every day?"

Yinzhen stepped forward and replied, "Huihuang Ama, yes, although the food is not good, but it is full."

When Kangxi heard this, his complexion slightly improved.The repair cost of the Yongding River is huge, and the food of the river workers is also a large amount of consumption. The money consumption is huge, and the money for the repairs cannot be saved.

"Long Live Lord, He Gong used to have two meals a day, one meat and one vegetarian meal, and clear soup at noon. Since the fourth elder brother came, it has been changed to three meals a day, and the dishes are no longer fixed as one meat and one vegetable." The skinny man in court clothes stepped forward to report.

Kangxi looked up at the man, and said with a smile, "Master Hu thinks it's better before, or better now."

Mr. Hu's face remained unchanged, and he replied sternly, "Go back to Long live Lord, I can't say it well, this matter is still fair for He Gong to comment on."

Kangxi laughed, "What Master Hu said is true, then Master Hu will go ask and report to me."

Master Hu led the order and went to find the river workers gathered in piles.

"Huang Ama, those river workers work every day, but what they eat is these pig food. It's really chilling." The ten elder brother Yinzhen said suddenly, the voice was so loud that everyone's eyes focused on him instantly.

Kangxi remained silent and stood with his hands behind his back. Yinzhen looked at the eyes of everyone, his expression changed, and he asked angrily, "What are you looking at me for? Is it possible that I made a mistake?"

At Yinzhen's words, Yinhu hurriedly pulled Yinzhen back, saluted and confessed to Kangxi, "Huang Ama, the old ten is outspoken, if you don't understand, please forgive me, Huang Ama"

"He didn't know, so you, as an elder brother, should teach you well." Kangxi's tone was calm, but there was a hint of censure in his words.

Su Yue raised her eyes and glanced at Kangxi, feeling a little uncomfortable. In front of so many people, Kangxi treated Yinhu like this. How to see him.

Su Yue gave Yinhu a distressed look, and she couldn't push it out at this time, otherwise Yinhu would cause even more trouble, so she had to endure it.

When Yinhu heard Kangxi's words, she wanted to argue, but Yinhu said first, "I obey the order, and I will definitely live up to Huang Ama's wishes."

Kangxi gave an answer, and the prince came out and said, "Huang Ama, as a prince, I am also the elder brother of your younger brothers. My brother made mistakes, and my ministers also made mistakes. Please punish me, Huang Ama."

For a while, the other princes also confessed their crimes together, and Kangxi was a little gentler, "Okay, the old ten has no intentions, you brothers should love, teach, and remember."

"The sons and ministers would like to follow the teachings of Huang Ama"

"Huang Ama, it's already noon, Huang Ama should go back to the palace for dinner," Yinzhen reminded.

"No need, today I will have a meal with Hegong here with you." Kangxi ordered Li Dequan to prepare. Most of the accompanying people had their own thoughts in their hearts, but they dared not express them because of the emperor's order.

Waiting for everyone to present the food, everyone's expressions changed. None of the accompanying ministers lived a life of rich clothes and fine food, let alone the prince. The green and black vegetable leaves floating on the soup water were obviously overcooked.

"Long live Lord, try this soup, it's not bad, it's delicious." Su Yue handed Kangxi a separate bowl of soup. Although the food didn't look good, it had a special flavor. The soup looked dark and delicious. It has a sweet and sour fragrance, which is not difficult to drink.

Kangxi tasted it, and the other people saw that Kangxi was using it, and they didn't dare to shirk it, so they all ate it. Fortunately, the food was not as unappetizing as they saw, but rather reluctant.

After resting for a while, Kangxi walked along the Yongding River to the lower reaches of the West Mountain. Most of the current Yongding River project is still building embankments. The reason for the construction of the river is that the soil on the road is wet, and there are puddles in some places, which is not easy to walk on.Moreover, this place straddles the West Mountain, and it is getting more and more remote. The construction team has not yet arrived here. Compared with the previous section, the embankment here is much shorter, and the river occasionally hits the embankment.

"Fourth, the spring rain is coming, the progress of the project here must be accelerated, otherwise, once the spring rain comes, this place will inevitably be flooded, and even the previous efforts will be in vain." Kangxi looked at the splash of water hitting the shore, and ordered Yinzhen.

"I have asked the nearby residents to help with the construction, at least to ensure that the spring rain this year will not cause floods." The number of river workers is limited, and there are too many dams to be built. There are not enough personnel, and the funding is limited. All kinds of problems stand in front of us. Yinzhen is also in a dilemma.

Kangxi looked at the lower reaches of the river "so the best"

There is no point in going down. Kangxi is going back to the palace. Today, many problems have emerged during the survey. Kangxi needs to think about countermeasures to ensure that the construction of Yongding River will continue and be completed on time.

Yinzhen wanted to stay, but was brought back by Kangxi. The guards had already gone to prepare the chariots and horses, and Kangxi and his party were at the foot of Xishan.

At this time, Suyue discovered that this place is at the foot of the West Mountain, with dense forests behind it, and the Yongding River flows between the two mountains. , but here is the lake flowing, with muddy roads on both sides, and two green hills towering into the clouds beside the road, which looks unique.

With a loud shout of "Guardian", and the sound of swords clashing, Su Yue realized that a group of men in black appeared at some point and were besieging Kangxi's guards.Su Yue accompanied Kangxi to the battlefield many times, she quickly calmed down after being surprised, and approached Kangxi.

Hundreds of officials have already panicked, surrounded Kangxi in chaos, screaming for escorts, civil officials are not good at martial arts, and this kind of scene above the court hall is even less seen. At this time, they are all surrounded by Kangxi, the guards and men in black are fighting, everyone The prince is also a man capable of writing and martial arts, and he has already guarded around Kangxi, only Yinzhen grabbed the guard's saber and faced the man in black.

The martial arts of the man in black was slightly higher than that of the guards, but a little lower than that of Yinzhen, and his corpse was smashed into pieces, and his flesh and blood flew flying.

Eldest elder brother Yinti also held a knife and fought against the man in black who was approaching. The man in black was not weak in martial arts. He rushed past the guards and fought with Yinti. Blocking it, with a fierce momentum, the weapons collided with each other with a bang, and each retracted their weapons. The man in black raised his knife and stabbed again, but Yinqi seized the opportunity early, swept the knife horizontally, and missed the man in black. With a kick, the man in black took a few steps back, his masked eyes emitting a bloodthirsty light.

Su Yue watched more and more guards fall down, except for the fifth elder brother, the seventh elder brother and Yinzhen, all of them joined the battlefield, and Yinhu also went, Suyue was frightened, several times the sword of the man in black fell Approaching Yinhu, Yinhu narrowly dodges, scaring Suyue several times and wants to call Yinhu back.

"Huang Ama, there are many assassins, and my ministers are leading the way. Huang Ama will go back to the car first." Yinzhen picked up a knife, and Li Dequan and Li Dequan stood beside Kangxi, and moved towards the car.

"Suyue, go quickly." Gui'an pulled Suyue to follow Kangxi, and said to Suyue in a low voice, "Eighth brother will be fine, you don't know martial arts, so staying here won't do you any good."

Su Yue naturally knew this truth, but seeing Yinhu fighting with others and running away by herself, although she knew that staying behind was just a burden, she couldn't take a step forward.

The man in black who suddenly charged approached Kangxi, but was blocked by Yinzhen. The man came fiercely and aimed at Yinzhen's vitals. He fell to the ground with a knife on the man's neck.But the man suddenly pulled out the dagger in his sleeve, and swung it towards Yinzhen's wrist holding the knife very quickly. Yinzhen had been on guard for a long time, swung the knife and cut the man's neck, kicking him away.

"Whoosh" The sound brought by the sharp arrow piercing through the air is too familiar, because the man in black suddenly charged, Su Yue was protected by Gui'an and retreated, at the moment behind Yinzhen, listening to the familiar voice and looking back The arrow shot at Yinzhen's back, before he could shout out, he threw himself at Yinzhen and closed his eyes.However, there was a sudden spin, and Yin Zhen had already swung his knife and knocked down a sharp arrow, glaring at Su Yue who was thrown to the ground, the hand holding the knife was shaking.From feeling someone behind him to turning around and shooting the arrow, it was just a short moment, but it was so long.

Su Yue quickly got up and grabbed Yin Zhen's sleeve, and asked anxiously, "How are you doing?"

Yinzhen's eyes were dark, and he slapped Suyue's face with a "slap", causing Suyue to fall and sit down.

Li Dequan had already protected Kangxi before getting into the car, and the guards accompanying the car were protecting the surroundings, the swords collided, and the screaming sound drowned out the slap, only Gui'an was busy supporting Su Yue and glaring at Yinzhen, he I don't understand, Su Yue sacrificed her life to protect her, and in exchange for that she was not thanked, but slapped, which made him puzzled.

Both Yinzhen and Suyue were already in a daze, Suyue was bewildered, but Yinzhen was so angry that he lost his mind, his face was so cold that there was nothing else but the anger in his eyes, "You protect Su." "Moon on the car"
