Fourth Master's Pearl

Chapter 42

"You only need to know this now. You don't have to worry about anything else."

Yinzhen still chose to keep some content.He was afraid that after Chuqing knew the truth, she would be as willful as her, and she would go away with Chang Nian'er.Her bones are full of deviant, and it is not impossible to do such absurd things.He couldn't risk losing her.Take your time, take your time.

"Can you repeat it?" Chu Qing turned around in disbelief.

The amount of information is too much, and her brain capacity seems to be a bit insufficient.She didn't care about the true identity of her body at all, and she wasn't Xu Erjia.Anyway, she has always cared about herself and Yinzhen the most.What she has been struggling with is what Yinzhen's intentions are.And the identity barrier undoubtedly had a crucial impact on their relationship.

"Silly girl," Yinzhen smiled lightly, brushing Chuqing's face with her fingers, touching her gently.

"Where is the time to talk about this now?"

Then he bowed his head again and kissed her cherry-like moist and soft lips.

Passionate but always seems ruthless.

The wind returns to the small courtyard to be verdant and green, the fragrance is dark and the shadows of flowers are deep.

An orchard in Xishan, Beijing.

The fragrance of peaches and plums is gone, and the branches are full of shade, hanging on numerous fruits.Beneath the bent branches are fruit servants bent over to pick them.

A woman dressed as a peasant woman is also picking the reddish-white peaches on the branches above her head with a bamboo basket.

Her fingers were as slender as orchids, and she could tell at a glance that she was someone who had never done such a thing.

"Oh, Mrs. Chang, this is not what you should do. You can go back to the yard." A fruit farmer stepped on the soft soil, pushed aside the branches blocking his eyes, and came over to snatch the basket from the farmer's woman.

"Uncle Zhu, I did it myself. Although I am a little clumsy, I will learn more and do it for a while. Don't hold it against me."

Chang Nian'er, who was dressed as a woman, did not change her dignity and politeness when she spoke.

Not long after she knew Chuqing's current identity and situation, Yinzhen secretly sent someone to redeem her body, and she was placed in one of the many other orchards under the Wangfu to avoid people's eyes and ears.Every other month, Yinzhen would send news of Chuqing to Chang Nian'er, so that she could feel at ease.At the same time, in order to save Chuqing's life, she also conveyed her firm attitude of not letting Chuqing know her and recognize her as a mother.

Chang Nian'er washed off her makeup thoroughly, put on the simplest clothes, and dressed as a woman.The fruit growers here work for Prince Yong's Mansion, so no one talks too much about her background, but they all have an unconscious respect for her.She was not allowed to do things, which made her feel a little sorry.

She is not a woman who cannot bear hardships.On the contrary, what she dreamed of when she was young was to be able to marry her sweetheart in a place with green mountains and green waters, plant flowers and fruits by hand, and grow vegetables by herself.At that time, such an idea was ridiculed by her closest sister, Guarja Rongli.She said that this young lady, if she really roughed her hands playing the piano, she would definitely run home crying in two days.

The past is like smoke, the world is unpredictable.She really had such a day, but she was alone.Fortunately, she and Ziren's daughter are still alive and well.

"Rong Li, thank you for taking care of her. But why do you say that she is your child? I just ask you to find a good family to raise her, so that she can live comfortably. If that's the case, why did you give her to her?" What about others?"

Chang Nianer took off a pink peach and looked at it, thinking in her heart, sighed, and lightly put the peach into the fruit basket.The red peaches set off the green leaves underneath, which is really lovely.

"Chuqing...my poor child."

a long distance away.Lijin County, Shandong Province.

The Yellow River was roaring, and it was rolling down with mud and sand. Countless counties, towns and villages along the river were flooded, and many people were displaced.Lijin County is the last inspection point of Yinzhen's trip, and it is also a county where the disaster is relatively serious.

They have been out of Beijing for almost three months, and there are a lot of things on the way, and because Yinzhen is concerned about Chuqing, the schedule is not too rushed.That's fine, Yinzhen felt that the longer he stayed, the more attentive the local officials would be, the more serious they would be in handling affairs, and the people who would benefit more would be the people.

It's just that Chu Qing was the one who suffered longer.Looking back on this journey, only a few days at the magistrate He's house in Linzhang County were relatively normal and comfortable, and He Luxue came to play.Later, when she was leaving, little Luxue secretly asked Chu Qing when she would be her sister-in-law.Chuqing felt that this child was so persistent, and she really had a shadow of her.

He Bi is a scholar, knowledgeable and sensible, and before leaving, he gave Chu Qing a pair of pictures of the sunny day after the rain.Although this picture was snatched by Yinzhen soon after they left, I don't know where it was locked.Seeing that such an awkward person was finally willing to confess to her, Chu Qing followed his wishes and stopped fussing with him.

The journey that once made her feel restless and irritable turned into a rare opportunity for two people to get along.Sure enough, the mood is the most important.Yinzhen and the officials in charge of dealing with river affairs got together again to discuss the disaster situation and disaster relief.Chuqing helps out at the porridge shed set up with funds from the imperial court.Although she is a very lazy person, she is also very happy to see those innocent people who are naked and have no roof and no place to stand. She can help a little.

Wash rice, cook porridge, cook some general medicinal soup, take some children to wash their hands and take a bath, tell the common people some common sense of hygiene, methods of preventing diseases, etc.

Yin Zhen spent a day and a night guarding the Yellow River embankment, and Chu Qing stayed a day and a night in the refugee area.Yinzhen found out, and gave Chuqing several orders, but Chuqing still went her own way.

"I'm working so hard for your sake. Get things done quickly, and we'll be able to get out and return with success. Do you understand my hard work, do you understand?"

Chuqing said with a bright smile while opening a pair of dry and tired eyes.

Yinzhen rubbed her head, said helplessly and distressed: "You always don't act according to my plan, it's extremely hateful."

Chuqing giggled and leaned her head on Yinzhen's arms.

She likes to get along with Yinzhen like this when there is no one else.He will call himself "I", and he will cling to her and spoil her.Such full happiness, even if the whole world is against her.

The weather was very odd.One day it rained, and the next day it was exposed to the sun.Plague is easy to breed in such weather.In the hot and humid weather, epidemics broke out around Lijin County.Only the refugee area in Lijin County has only a few cases.This is all thanks to Chuqing's painstaking efforts.Especially after she discovered that the well water was polluted, she publicized health knowledge to everyone, repeatedly asked to boil the water before drinking it, and wash the vegetables when it was cold, so that the washed vegetables can be eaten, etc.

Yinzhen dealt with officials from all walks of life, and took out the appropriations hidden in their pockets one by one, and implemented the disaster relief work in Shandong Province.Good results were achieved, and the news was sent to the Forbidden City. Mr. Kangxi was very pleased to hear it.Only his fourth son could do this kind of difficult job well and seriously.He knew in his heart that Yinzhen had many qualities that other princes did not have. Although he was too serious and harsh, he really had a heart to help the world.

Yinzhen received an urgent court report and called him back to Beijing.He knew that on the one hand, Huang Ama was satisfied with his job, and on the other hand, he hoped that his relationship with the locality would not be too rigid.Huang Ama is too generous in these places.But he couldn't help listening.There will be a day of real rectification, when he has that strength and absolute power to speak.

"Why are you frowning?"

Chuqing's voice rang in his ears.

On the way back to the capital after leaving Lijin County, Chuqing looked at Yinzhen lost in thought, and asked curiously.

Yin Zhen smiled and shook his head.

Chu Qing curled her lips and said, "You're not willing to tell me, are you?"

After speaking, he deliberately moved his buttocks, and sat a little further away from Yinzhen.Leaning his back against the wall of the car, he pouted and closed his eyes.Pretend to be puffy.

Looking at Chuqing's lovely appearance, Yinzhen's obscure eyes became calm and peaceful.

Chuqing closed her eyes, wondering that Yinzhen didn't say anything to coax her, and also thought that she had to continue teaching him.Suddenly, I felt a warm touch from my lips, the little alarm clock in my heart started to shake again, and my face became hot again.

Yinzhen kissed Chuqing lightly, and then looked at her embarrassed little face with a smile.Someone who often acts fearless has been shy very easily.Thinking that only he could see her like this, he couldn't help but feel elated.

Chuqing saw that Yinzhen was smiling even with her eyes, and said with an angry and shy face, "Speak up when you have something to say. Don't just..."

Yinzhen asked with a smile knowingly: "So what?"

Chu Qing was choked.

When did he become as cunning as her?
Chuqing rolled her eyes, thinking about the civilized language in the novel.

"Don't act badly at every turn."

The word "spoiler" made Chu Qing couldn't help but get goosebumps all over the place.I didn't expect, I didn't expect, she could say such hypocritical words.

Yinzhen stared at Chuqing intently for a long time, then smiled and said, "Okay."

Chu Qing nodded in satisfaction, and muttered to herself: "That's right. I feel like you've been eating me to death recently." If he used this trick all the time in the future, would she still talk?

Before Chuqing could finish muttering, Yinzhen stretched out her hand and pulled Chuqing to her side. Chuqing accidentally fell into Yinzhen's arms and was held tightly by him.

"Hey! Hey! Is it appropriate for a dignified prince to say nothing?"

"Does this count?" Yinzhen pretended to be innocent.

"Of course! Forget it!" Chuqing replied bitterly.

Yinzhen pretended to think about it, and said solemnly, "Take it back."

Chuqing stared, what?Take it back?

With an intoxicating smile, Yinzhen stroked Chuqing's eyelids with his fingers, and said, "Close."

"Not really."

Policeman Chu Qing felt staring at him, and opened his eyes wider than before.

Yinzhen smiled and said, "You can do it this way if you like."

After speaking, he kissed.

The lingering and nostalgic kiss made Chuqing close her eyes like a spell, and she fell deeply into it.

Beijing.

Prince Yong's Mansion.

Ulanara and a group of women in the palace are passing on the letter that the prince is about to return to the palace with their own thoughts.
