Kangxi Harem Ⅰ: Green Years

Chapter 23
[The qin and the cymbal sing together and unite in one heart, apart from the joy of love, you can also have a bosom friend;]

[The road ahead is unpredictable and move forward, and the king will not be lonely from now on. 】

Gai Rong'er has been favored by the emperor for several days. In the past few days, when the emperor is in the palace, she is by his side. Went to accompany Xiaoqing to boil water and chat. Although the emperor did not give her a title, everyone treated her a little bit politely, thinking that no matter how others guessed her in their hearts, at least they could live with face, and Ling Qiaoer did not come to provoke her anymore. So Rong'er was relieved of what other people think about these boring things.It's just that the emperor seems to be in a very bad mood recently, he often sighs, and Rong'er is very worried.

When the night was getting deeper, the emperor was sitting at the desk in the Xinuange study room, staring closely at a memorial that was almost crumbled in his hand, with anger in his eyes, the air pressure in the Hall of Preserving Harmony is very low today.Gai Rong'er came over with tea, didn't dare to scratch it, put it gently on the table, and was about to step aside when Xuan Ye suddenly said: "Rong'er, I'm a useless emperor."

Rong'er was startled when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, what are you talking about? Your Majesty is young and promising, so why is it useless?"

"Young and promising? Where is my young and promising? Although this great Qing Dynasty is called my country, I can't do anything for him." Xuan Ye said angrily: "Oboi ignored my thoughts, You actually ordered the killing of Su Nahai, Zhu Changzuo, and Wang Liandeng, and Rong Er, the three of them are loyal ministers, and as the emperor, I can't save them." Xuan Ye slammed the table down heavily.

"Your Majesty, Rong'er read "The Analects of Confucius" when he was a child. There was a saying that left a deep impression on him: If you can't bear it, you will make a big conspiracy. After all, the Emperor is still a young emperor with fledgling wings. Why use an egg to hit a rock? It shouldn't be saved." Rong'er said in a low voice beside him.

"Then Rong'er means that even if I can save him, I shouldn't save him." Xuan Ye asked Rong'er with deep eyes.

"The emperor knows it well, doesn't he? Why do you need Rong'er to say it?" Gai Rong'er said with a smile.

"Rong'er, you really know me well... because of this, I feel ashamed of them." Xuan Ye sighed.

"Your Majesty, you have your helplessness. Rong'er knows that after all, it is three lives, so how can you not worry about it, but the Emperor can't move now. Why not write down their achievements and reward their families generously in the future." Rong'er comforted.

"That's right, Rong'er, I can't help it. I really can't. I'll make decisions for them next year when I get married." Xuan Ye sighed with a low head.

After serving the emperor to change clothes and wash in the evening, Rong'er was thinking about whether he should tell the emperor about Aunt Cheng. She said that if Xiaoqing got it wrong, she would have wronged Aunt Cheng. , the emperor's side is not very stable.In the end, Gai Ronger thought, since she is already the emperor's woman, no matter it is true or not, she should remind the emperor to know.Gritting her teeth with determination, she still hesitated and said, "Your Majesty... there is something that Rong'er should say or not."

"Xuan Ye, I've said it before. When it's just the two of us, call me by my name. I like to hear you call me by my name. There's something inappropriate between us, but it's okay." Xuan Ye smiled. Said.

"Xuan Ye..." Rong'er blushed when he called the emperor's name. For some reason, he had been serving the emperor every day for half a month, but whenever there were only two people left who seemed very close, Rong'er still couldn't help crying. will blush. "Well, Rong'er just heard about this, the emperor should not ask Rong'er who he listened to, because Rong'er had no chance to serve the emperor when he heard about it, so it is definitely not because someone has ulterior motives to make Rong'er pick in front of the emperor .” The education she received since she was a child made her subconsciously address the emperor instead of her name.

"Oh? Rong'er, what's the matter? You said it so seriously." Knowing that she couldn't change it, Xuan Ye smiled and said nothing more.

"Your Majesty, Aunt Cheng...has she served by your side since you ascended the throne?" Rong'er asked.

"That's right, Aunt Cheng lived in this Palace of Preservation and Harmony after I ascended the throne, and she served the late emperor before, what's the matter?" Xuan Ye asked puzzled.

"Rong'er heard... Aunt Cheng often told Ao Zhongtang everything the emperor said and did." Gai Ronger said hesitantly.

"What? Is there such a thing?" Xuan Ye suddenly stood up from the bed,

"Your Majesty, Rong'er has no evidence, just what I heard. Now that I tell the Emperor, Rong'er thinks that Rong'er should do this. If it's a misrepresentation, it's better. If there is such a thing, the Emperor should take precautions."

"Well, now that you said it, I now think of it. This Oboi seems to know my every move very well. I have long felt strange, so it is really not impossible." Xuan Ye said angrily.

"This, Rong'er has no evidence, so please don't get angry, Your Majesty." Gai Rong'er hurriedly comforted him.

"Rong'er, this matter is serious, I have to ask how you know." Xuan Ye stared closely at Gai Rong'er.

"This... this..." Rong'er didn't know what the emperor thought about this matter, she was afraid that it would be bad for Xiaoqing if she said what Xiaoqing heard.

"Rong'er, don't you believe me? Just say it, I won't punish people casually." Xuan Ye opened his mouth slowly as if he had read her mind.

"Yes, Rong'er said... When Rong'er was in the water heating room, Xiaoqing, the maid in the water heating room, told the servants that Aunt Cheng and Eunuch Chen from the Ministry of Internal Affairs were talking about the emperor's every move. I heard it." Rong'er confessed honestly.

"Oh? There's also the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I really don't know how many eyeliners this Oboi has planted in this palace." Xuan Ye asked with a sneer, "Is she listening carefully?"

"Xiaoqing is quite sure of what she said, that's why Ronger wants to tell the emperor to be careful." Gai Ronger replied.

"Hmph, if this is true, I can't spare her." Xuan Ye said angrily.

"Your Majesty, according to Rong'er, if this is true, it may be a good thing." Rong'er laughed.

"A good thing? It's a good thing that there are spies around me?" Xuan Ye didn't understand what Rong'er meant.

"The emperor was really angry and rushed to his head." Rong'er said with a smile. "Think about it, Your Majesty, if this is really the case, then doesn't the Emperor want Ao Zhongtang to see what he sees? Be careful at ordinary times, be cautious in your words and actions, or it will be fine."

"That's right, I'm really mad, maybe it's not just this magical effect." Xuan Ye smiled as he pondered.Then she said to Rong'er: "Rong'er, you are not only good at poetry, but also very talented. Sometimes I feel that you are very similar to the emperor's grandmother in some aspects."

"How dare Rong'er compare with the Empress Dowager? The emperor praised Rong'er, Rong'er said anything casually, the emperor doesn't blame Rong'er for talking too much." Rong'er smiled embarrassedly.

"How could it be, Rong'er, you are not only my woman, but also my confidant." Xuan Ye looked at Rong'er in a daze, and said slowly: "I am really grateful to the gods for allowing you to come to my side .”

Gai Rong'er felt very happy: "Rong'er is also very grateful to be able to serve the emperor."

"By the way, Your Majesty, you haven't visited the Queen for a few days, it's time for you to visit her." Rong'er suddenly remembered and said.

Xuan Ye sighed helplessly: "Rong'er, why do you keep telling me this?"

"Because the empress is virtuous, benevolent and filial, the emperor can't let the empress down. What Rong'er said is the truth." Rong'er replied. In the past few days, Rong'er has mentioned to the emperor several times to ask the emperor to watch the empress more frequently. Rong'er is sincere. Yes, thinking about what the queen said to her before she came to Baohe Palace, she still feels sad. Although the emperor treats her very well now, as the queen said, the emperor is the emperor of the world, and the queen will not monopolize her. She, Gai Rong'er, couldn't do it, especially for the queen, the queen treated her so well, her Rong'er was happy, and she hoped that the queen would be happy too.

"Okay, I got it, can I go and see it tomorrow? Rong'er, can we rest?" Xuan Ye said helplessly.

Nestled in the arms of the emperor, this night, in the cold winter, there are two tightly dependent hearts warm together...
