Qing Palace Dream Like Smoke·Moyu

Chapter 37

When the tea arrived at the entrance of the main hall, Li Dequan signaled her to stop and not to go in, and Mo Yu stood at the entrance and waited with her head bowed.After a while, I heard someone coming out from Xinuang Pavilion, peeking at the crown prince, the third elder brother, the fourth elder brother and the eighth elder brother. The expressions on their faces seemed to be a little strange, and they didn't dare to look any further. They lowered their heads and waited for them to leave. Pass.Li Dequan coughed lightly, indicating that she could go in, and she entered Xinuang Pavilion lightly.

Kangxi was reclining on the couch with his eyes closed, when Mo Yu went to change the cup of tea on the table, only to find that the tea had spilled on the table, he was stunned for a moment, and took a handkerchief to wipe it.Kangxi suddenly said: "Don't worry about it." Mo Yu stopped his hands, seeing that Kangxi still had his eyes closed and didn't speak for a long time, he gently put the replaced tea bowl on the plate and prepared to take it out.Just as she was about to leave, Kangxi opened his eyes and said, "Wait a minute." Mo Yu quickly stopped, and stood in front of the case with downcast eyebrows.Kangxi suddenly said: "What do you think of the prince?" Mo Yu was stunned, completely unprepared, and did not dare to raise his head, thinking in his mind: "Why did he suddenly ask this question today, asking a court lady this question, it is simply a It's kind of ridiculous."

Seeing that she didn't answer for a long time, Kangxi smiled again and said: "I shouldn't ask you this question. You don't have to be afraid of becoming like this. Where is the aura of a newborn calf in the past?" Hearing what he said, Mo Yu thought Putting it down for a while, he replied: "The servant has stayed in Qianqing Palace for so long, those reckless habits should have been changed in the first place."

"I seem to like your previous recklessness better than this lifeless one." Kangxi's tone was gentle with a smile.Mo Yu suddenly felt much more relaxed, raised her head and said, "I don't dare to guess what the emperor likes, but the slave knows that Eunuch Li must not like the recklessness of the slave." Kangxi asked doubtfully, "Why doesn't he like it?" Mo Yu said with a smile: "Because he was worried that the things in Qianqing Palace were not strong enough."

Kangxi laughed and said: "Yes, he is in charge of the things in this room, so he will naturally be worried." After laughing for a while, his expression gradually became thoughtful, and then he smiled lightly and said: "The rare thing is that everyone knows their true nature." It turns out that this principle cannot be understood by reading a lot of books, nor can it be understood by others when reminded. Those who are interested will naturally understand, and those who are unintentional, hmph..." He I didn't say any more.

Mo Yu only felt that what he said was meaningful and quite mysterious, but he didn't want to guess what made his words and deeds today so different from usual.For this unpredictable emperor who is well versed in the art of emperors, it is safest not to speculate.

After standing for a while, Kangxi said, "Go down."

She returned to the tea room and sat in a daze. She felt that the atmosphere today was a bit strange. With the strange expressions on the faces of the elder brothers, Kangxi asked inexplicably, what happened before she entered the Xinuang Pavilion?
Three days later, Kangxi ordered the minister of the bodyguard to send an edict saying: "Suo'etu has no intention of repenting. He complains behind his back and talks about state affairs. The party of Iraq, I all visit and know. Amida, Martu , Ekuli, Wendai Shaogan, Tong Baoyi, etc. form a party to discuss state affairs and intimidate everyone. Moreover, Suo'etu is intimidating. People in the whole country are afraid of Suo'etu, and there are some who are not afraid. That is to say, Suo'etu's family has already Yi informs. Suo'etu can kill him. Zhi Wendai, Ekuli, and those who have committed serious crimes and migrated are ordered to return to the capital because of their old age. Yi and others should be quiet to support the rest of the year, but they form a party with Suo'etu to discuss State affairs, reckless self-reproach." Yunyun, the prince's uncle Suo'etu and all the important people in the family were detained, and those who were close to him were warned, "If you walk around Suo'etu, you will be imprisoned by Suo'etu." lethal".The detention and attack on Suo'etu was actually due to Suo'etu's premeditated coup d'état, which allowed the prince to ascend the throne in advance. When Kangxi discovered it, Kangxi preemptively dealt with Suo'etu and at the same time gave the prince a warning.

Mo Yu watched all this happen, and only sighed in his heart. Although Kangxi wanted to shake the mountain and shake the tiger, it is a pity that he did not warn the prince, otherwise he would not abolish the prince in five years.Perhaps it was Kangxi's excessive pampering in the past few decades that made the crown prince completely lose his judgment on danger, and one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. However, in the following years, the prince continued to covet imperial power, constantly challenging Kangxi, who has gradually disappeared. Exhausted endurance, so for an emperor who advocates "the only master of the country" and monopolizes the gang, it is only a matter of time before the prince is abolished.

Just as she was thinking about this, Baozhi walked in and said with a smile, "Why are you in a daze? Sister Huizhu has an order to let you go to Yonghe Palace in the evening. I have already thought out all the errands for you. I will also pass it on to Eunuch Li." Now that we’ve finished talking, let’s say that the empress asked you to help draw flowers.”

Mo Yu chuckled and said, "At least you all want to do some side jobs. The flower shapes I drew, can they really be used?"

Baozhi smiled and said, "You really have self-knowledge. Who told you to smear everything except making up nonsense all day long? You want us to think of some errands for you so that you can rely on it?"

Mo Yu just laughed, Baozhi turned around and said as he walked out, "You should remember to come earlier." Mo Yu nodded in agreement.

Walking outside Jinghe's door, she unexpectedly ran into the person who gave her the most headache, the fourth elder brother.She recalled the wonderful method she had thought of that day, but suddenly realized that time had changed, and she completely lost the courage to look him in the eye, so she had to stand obediently by the side with her head bowed.But he didn't seem to intend to just go there, walked up to her and said, "To Yonghe Palace?"

He answered honestly, "Yes."

"Then let's go." It turned out that he was also going to Yonghe Palace.Mo Yu felt helpless, so she had no choice but to follow him, and wondered why his pace was so slow, as if this road would never end.She was complaining in her heart, as if she heard the fourth elder brother asking: "What are you doing going to Yonghe Palace at this time?" Mo Yu thought in her heart: "What does it have to do with you?" But she replied honestly: "Your Majesty said let me go Help me draw flowers." The person in front paused and let out a chuckle.Mo Yu took a deep breath, feeling as if she wanted to grit her teeth, and suddenly she felt angry at Huizhu and Baozhi, why did she say to let her paint this boring thing?
Seeing the gate of Yonghe Palace, Mo Yu felt a sense of relief in her heart. She was rejoicing, but suddenly found that the people in front stopped, and she almost bumped into it again. She stopped quickly, raised her head, and saw the fourth elder brother's face Some strange expressions, this expression seemed familiar, and then he showed a hesitant expression, she couldn't help being a little curious, under her gaze, the fourth elder brother retreated first, turned his head and walked into the gate of Yonghe Palace.Mo Yu looked at his back in a daze, this "victory" came too fast, she couldn't react, until she walked into Huizhu's room, she still had the feeling of being in a dream.

In the room, a blue-and-white book lamp with water-grass patterns was lit in the middle of the table, and there was a table around it for eating, Huizhu was still arranging the dishes, Baozhi sat by the table, saw her and said with a smile: "Come on, come and sit down. "Mo Yu hummed, sat down and sat down.Huizhu was setting the cup, glanced at her and said, "Why do you look so absent-minded?" Baozhi also found that she was wrong, and asked, "What's the matter with you, are you in trouble?" Huizhu spat when she heard that Said: "What nonsense are you talking about?" Moyu suddenly laughed when he heard Baozhi's words, and said: "Yes, I met a ghost on the road." Huizhu frowned and said: "You also follow her crazy and say that you can't do it in this palace." Speaking of this, have you all forgotten? The bigger you are, the more inappropriate you are." Mo Yu smiled for a while, restrained his emotions a little, and said, "I met Si Ye." Bao Zhi was picking up a chopstick. In his mouth, when he heard her words, he was almost choked up, and swallowed forcefully, the tears flowed out, and he managed to speak: "You, you actually said that the fourth master is a ghost?" Hui Zhu said angrily: "You two Be careful what you say, don't be so indifferent." Mo Yu said with a smile: "Okay, just don't say anything."

"I said it looks like I've lost my soul. It turned out that I met the person I was most afraid of since I was a child." Baozhi said with a smile while picking up vegetables.

"You also said that I was most afraid of him, but something strange happened today. I saw him turn his head and walk away. The expression on his face is the same as when I saw some of their elder brothers coming out of Xinuang Pavilion in Qianqing Palace a while ago. It's exactly the same." Mo Yu was thoughtful.

"Okay, don't say any more." Huizhu sat down and looked at the two of them.

Baozhi smiled and said: "Okay, let's not talk about it." He raised his cup and said, "I wish you two, every year have today and every year have today." Huizhu and Moyu also raised their glasses, and the three of them The cups touched each other and smiled at each other, "Happy birthday."
