Fourth Master's Pearl

Chapter 15

Chu Qing felt that her head had grown by half a head again, and was being led by Yin Zhen to jump up and down happily, gesturing when she could reach the height where her head was leaning on his shoulder.Finally, he couldn't help shaking Yinzhen's arm, and asked, "Si Si, did you notice that I've grown up?"

Without squinting, Yinzhen replied flatly, "No."

Chu Qing pouted, "You don't care about me, that's why."

Yinzhen stopped and looked at Chuqing in disbelief from top to bottom, "What did you just say?"

Blinking and pretending to be innocent, "Did I say something wrong?"

Yinzhen directly condescended to squat down and look parallel to Chuqing, and pinched her chubby cheeks fiercely, with an unconcealable smile added to her plain expression, as if she saw Chuqing waving her paws to escape but couldn't escape The angry look is very satisfied and happy.

Yinzhen let go of Chuqing's protesting glare.Chu Qing rubbed her face, "huh" raised her head and walked away, ignoring him.

Sisi always treats her as a child, and even pinches her face, it's too much!

Lianxi music place is quiet.Only the sound of the wind passing through the willow silk and the lotus leaves is left.The lotus-colored gauze curtains hanging between the pillars of the Plum Blossom Hall flutter softly.

Chuqing stepped into the hall first, then turned her head to see Yinzhen pacing leisurely, her eyes seemed to be asking, and she took the initiative to say: "Chunhua went to Yingshui Lanxiang to embroider handkerchiefs for sister Wanyi, I sent the others away The prince wants to drink tea, but there is no one to serve him, so you can figure it out."

Chuqing put on a straight face, showing a mature and steady expression.

Yinzhen smiled and chose a seat firmly.This Lianxi music place has an excellent view, and you don’t have to go out to actually be in the view.The layout is sparse and bright, which makes people feel smooth.Most of the original furnishings in the room had been replaced, and Chu Qing had re-arranged them, which turned out to be gorgeous, elegant and unpretentious.Fresh and comfortable, just like herself.

Chuqing looked at Yinzhen looking around the room, and said cautiously: "Sisi, don't you like this place too, do you want to change with me?"

Yinzhen suppressed a smile angrily, "You're not called a prince now? So what? So what if you aren't?"

Chuqing tilted her head, and hurriedly leaned over to please her, hugging her thighs, "You told me you would reward me for living here, you are not joking."

Yinzhen shuddered suddenly, grabbed Chu Qing, and said coldly, "No nonsense!"

Chuqing's little heart thumped as if caused by this accident, she regained her composure for a long time, and then said in a remedy: "A gentleman's gentleman."

Yinzhen looked at her pale with fright, her wet eyes were bewildered.Chuqing had never been really afraid of him, but now she was so frightened, Yinzhen was slightly annoyed.

"The crown prince rewarded you with a lot of things today, and I will keep them at Fujin for now, so please write a post to thank me." Yinzhen couldn't say any words of comfort, but only mentioned his business.Although God knows how much time he deliberately spent here for this "business".

There was a trace of sadness in Chuqing's eyes, hesitantly and timidly opened his mouth, and finally asked: "Is Sisi treating me well because I am the prince's daughter?" Her head drooped weakly, " Is it? Has it always been?"

Chuqing buried her head, pulled the corner of her mouth, and laughed self-deprecatingly, "Isn't that what it is? What else could it be?"

Yinzhen got up silently, and said, "What else?"

If Chuqing raised her head, she might be able to see the clue from his slightly frowning brow.His calm but suppressed eyes were actually full of loopholes.

Even without her strong feelings, Yinzhen's liking for Chuqing is far more than others.

Chuqing took a deep breath and saluted earnestly, "Yes. Chuqing knows."

Yinzhen looked at Chuqing's little face that seemed to have made up her mind, wanted to say something, but left just like that.

"It's as white as snow in the sky, and as bright as the moon in the clouds. I heard that you have two ideas, so I came to break up with each other."

Chu Qing's classmate Qi Qi is like a ghost, singing a song of abandoned wives when the night is getting up and the autumn is cool.

Yes, she felt deeply abandoned.

"Whoever abandons me, don't keep the day of yesterday; whoever disturbs my heart, today is so worrying!" After singing the very sad tune, and changing the context, he recalled his favorite Li Bai to the moon in an elegant and unrestrained manner. poetry.

After reciting it once, he suddenly gritted his teeth viciously, "Those who abandon me will all die; those who mess with my mind will all be executed."

Chunhua guarded her master and babbled a few strings of poems that she didn't understand, but the last few "death" and "execution" were very clear, and she was inexplicably horrified.

After she came back from Yingshui Lanxiang, the master looked determined and resentful.Don't go to bed at night, relax in the dew.I didn't do the exercise I was passionate about in the past, and I only drank two sips of milk before going to bed before putting it down.She followed Chuqing with milk and pastries, persuading left and right, but Chuqing ignored her with her hands behind her back.

After Chuqing vented her exaggerated emotions, she felt much relieved.He raised his head and stared intently at the cold moon, as if looking at someone's face.Spread out a tender little hand, and raise your hand to hold the moon in the sky.The fingers were closed in emptiness, unable to touch even a ray of moonlight.

I overestimated myself.

Chu Qing silently put down her hand, her chin arched beautifully, her black jade-like pupils reflected tonight's last quarter moon.Liu Ying was indifferent, the expression on her face flickering.

The work of preparing to pick up the driver lasted for more than a month, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs finally issued a decree, confirming the auspicious day of Emperor Kangxi's royal visit.The season is late autumn in November.

What is carried in the autumn wind is no longer refreshment but chill.However, the people who received the driver in Yuanmingyuan didn't feel anything at all, they were all only concerned about joy and fear, excitement and caution.

All the family members of Prince Yong's Mansion came together, and of course the only ones who were qualified to come forward were Sifu Jin and Li Shi, who could stand by Yinzhen's side.Others have the right to kneel down.After the ceremony, I listened to the emcee eunuch passing on the emperor's words, so I left with joy.

Kangxi's original intention was to simply walk around the garden of his fourth son and talk about family happiness.In line with this original intention, none of the other elder brothers came to accompany the driver as usual.This visit to the garden can be said to be a bit interesting, or it can be said to have no deep meaning.

"It's completely natural, with unique ingenuity." Master Kangxi wandered around with four Fujin on the left and Yinzhen on the right.

Kangxi's footsteps and posture all carry the majesty of a high-ranking person and the demeanor of an invincible king.A pair of eyes are especially black, bright and energetic.Yinzhen's eyes are very similar to his.This was Chuqing's first impression when she was hand-picked and summoned to accompany her in front of the imperial court.

There were only two juniors accompanying them, and the other was Hongshi.Hongshi didn't dare to show a little distraction, and his small body followed suit as he usually practiced.Chu Qing relaxed her whole body and mind, observing the emperor's guard of honor, costumes, and attendants.This is all said to be streamlined. If it is a formal occasion, what kind of majestic scene should it be?
From entering the park to visiting the park to taking a nap to having a banquet, everything is in an orderly manner.Not too solemn nor too brief.Chu Qing knew that to make something seem effortless, it actually required more effort behind the scenes.

For example, during Yinzhen's tour with the driving companion this time, every sentence, every gesture, every path, and every arrangement seemed smooth and flowing, as if they were carved naturally, but in fact they were a lot of effort.

The area around Peony Terrace is clear and bright, which is where the afternoon theater is held.Numerous pots of marigolds are piled up to form an auspicious character.Fourteen red sandalwood screens inlaid with red sandalwood cranes and red sunrise clouds in Songling Mountains are magnificent and graceful.screen

The first play was chosen by the emperor as usual, the second play Yinzhen still asked the emperor to choose, the third play he chose by himself, and the fourth play was ordered by the emperor to Sifujin.Babble, clang, clang, banners, gongs and drums, colorful colors, high-spirited and tortuous singing.Chu Qing was very cooperative, after all, the palace rarely invites theater troupes, and she has never seen a live version.After a while, I can't listen to it and can't sit still.

Fortunately, the snacks were brought up continuously, and they were withdrawn when they got cold.Most of the others tasted it lightly, but she just kept eating it.Most of the dishes that the maid collecting dishes brought back from Chuqing were empty.She couldn't help but look at Grid a few more times.

Master Kangxi was full of praise for the fresh-style utensils served.Qinglian Bamboo Cup is Kangxi's favorite. After seeing it, he held it with his own hands and played with it, saying: "If you have a heart, reward it."

The eunuch in charge will take care of himself, and Fatty Yang and others in the kitchen knelt behind to thank and accept the reward.

When the stage was being played to a critical and emotional point, Kangxi Yinzhen heard a muffled "bang".Following the sound, Chuqing dozed off and pecked at the rice for a long time, and finally fell on the table in front of her.

Chunhua hastily rubbed her red forehead, and a lump slowly formed.Chuqing waved her hands in pain, knocked over a cup of hot almond tea and poured it on her skirt, and the master and servant were in a mess for a while.

Xiao Gaozi stood behind Yinzhen, and seeing Chuqing who was in a lot of situations, Gege couldn't help but sweat for her, "Little Gege really loves to court death..."

Yinzhen's face remained motionless, it was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry.Si Fujin was about to get up, but knowing that he would disturb the emperor's interest, he focused his attention on Chuqing anxiously.
