Unknowingly, the sky darkened. I looked up and saw a bright moon quietly rising. Looking at the moon, I whispered,"The evening clouds have been collected and the clear cold overflows. The silver river silently turns into a jade plate. This life this night is not long good, bright moon next year where to see.”After reading it, I sighed. When he turned around, he saw two people standing behind him. One of them was wearing a dragon robe. Of course, it was the first emperor of the ages, Kang Xi.
I didn't dare to look at him, so I knelt down to pay my respects. Kang Xi actually reached out to help me up. Why are you reading such a sad poem?"
I stood up and replied,"Your Majesty, this servant is Prince Yong's daughter." This poem was just a casual recitation and did not have any sad mood.”
" Raise your head." Kang Xi was probably interested in me. I want to see what he looks like. He raised his head slightly at a 45-degree angle and saw it. The Emperor was an old man in his fifties. He had a moderate height and figure. His face was slightly thin, and his facial features looked very serious. His eyes were sharp, and the expression on his face was…stunned! That's right, he was stunned!
I didn't dare to look anymore. Kang Xi asked in a deep voice,"What's your surname?" My heart skipped a beat. So he still remembered my aunt!
"This servant's surname is Qin."
" Surnamed Qin…" Kang Xi seemed to be lost in thought. I didn't dare to make a sound. The eunuch beside him reminded him,"Your Majesty, it's almost time."”
" Oh…" Kang Xi regained his seriousness and indifference."Let's go." I quickly knelt down and watched as he walked away and returned to the banquet.
After looking for a while, I finally saw Nala sitting in the left corner and looking at me. I quickly walked over and sat down. "Where did you go?" she asked, glaring at me. I've been looking for you for a long time."
I smiled apologetically and said,"I went to pick the lotus seeds."”As he spoke, he took out a lotus seed and peeled one for her."Do you want to try it?"
She looked at me anxiously and said,"You still act like nothing happened!" I'm so anxious! You don't know anyone in the palace, yet you dare to run around alone. What if something happens?”
I stuck out my tongue. I know I was wrong." As he spoke, he stuffed the lotus seed into her mouth. "Try it!"
"You child!" she scolded. After saying that, we were all stunned. She actually called me child! My eyes reddened as I leaned my head on her shoulder and whispered,"I was wrong. I won't run around alone anymore." She patted me. He was speechless.
"Yo! What are you doing?" We looked up and felt depressed! It was Guo Luoluo. Zhaojia smiled at me from behind her. The other woman was also dressed as a Fujin, but her face was filled with hatred towards me. I looked at Nala. She smiled and said,"That's the 14th Fujin."”I came to a realization and greeted them. Seeing that they were ignoring me, I just smiled. He sat down and did not speak.
Guo Luoluo's face was full of pride as he came over and said,"I heard that Yage is talented. It's up to you today.”I raised my eyebrows and looked at her, but she just smiled sinisterly. I don't care what she means, but I can't let her take advantage of me. "Did you go to see your mistress and mother-in-law today?" she asked.”Her expression changed and I smiled. He ignored her.
Everyone sat down and saw that the lights on the middle stage were lit. A yellow dot walked over from afar. Kang Xi sat down with a large group of palace maids and eunuchs and began to talk. Because they were far away, she didn't know what he was talking about. I was just paying attention to what everyone did. I stood when everyone stood, I knelt when everyone knelt, and I drank when everyone drank. I'm about to faint. He could finally sit down.
Everyone relaxed and began to watch the show on the red carpet. There was a vaudeville show. I watched it for a while and found it very boring. Guo Luoluo looked at me again and smiled mysteriously. I was a little worried. I didn't know what this perverted woman wanted to do. Just as I was wondering, Nala pulled me back. I watched as she raised her wine cup. It was the Emperor's daughters-in-law's turn to toast. I echoed everyone's toast, but I saw that unlucky woman Guo Luoluo walk up to the stage and shriek,"Your Majesty, I heard that Fourth Brother's new daughter is a talented woman. She sings and dances well. Today, let her perform a song for Your Majesty. Let us all see if her talent is undeserved.”
There was a moment of silence. I looked at Guo Luoluo and thought, No wonder you were crushed to ashes. I can't wait to bite you to death! I turned around and looked at Nala Shi. She held my hand, and her palm was covered in sweat."If the emperor allows you to go, don't be afraid.”I nodded. Sure enough, the Emperor spoke,"It's allowed!"”
I stood up and walked to the front of the stage. I knelt down and bowed. After thinking for a moment, I raised my hands and bent down slightly. Fortunately, I practiced martial arts every day! When everyone quieted down and looked at me, she waved her hand and turned around. She sang a cappella while dancing, The crescent moon, the night is getting thicker, the moonlight is accompanied by the breeze, and the moonlight is even more hazy, reflecting on the lake. Her face is soft, and her figure is a little lovesick. The moonlight is like an old friend's dream. I ask my old friend in a distant place, do you know if I want to meet you again? Only the bright moon can take me away. I greet the colorful clouds, chasing after the moon. I ask my old friend in a distant place, do you know if I want to meet you again? Only the bright moon can take me away. I greet the colorful clouds, chasing after the moon…
The last movement stopped just as the song was finished. I knew that my dance was absolutely wonderful. These days, I have never slacked off in my profession.
After the song was finished, there was silence. Gradually, there was a buzz of discussion. Kang Xi only said one word,"Reward!"”After a while, a eunuch brought two trays over. I glanced at them. It was an antique again, so why couldn't they just reward him with silver? Kneeling down to thank him, he was about to return to his seat when the young eunuch said softly,""The emperor has decreed that Ge Ge is to meet the emperor after the banquet.”
When I returned to my seat, Nala Shi was smiling at me. I forced a smile and casually ate a few cold dishes. Ignoring the vicious gazes of Guo Luo, Luo Shi, and the Fourteenth Fujin, Wan Yanshi, he only thought about what Yin Zhen had said to Consort De earlier. The Eighth Fujin had brought Yan and Zhaojia to see who would sing a song or something. They probably wanted to make a fool of themselves! I just don't know why Zhao Jia Group is also in there. She and I don't have any conflicts. I looked at her suspiciously, but she avoided my gaze. I sneered in my heart. So she's not a good person either! He decided to ignore these things for now, thinking that the most important thing was to find out what the Sage wanted.
Nala saw that I was absent-minded and quietly asked me what was wrong. I told her about the meeting. She frowned and looked at me for a long time. Finally, she sighed."You are a smart person, remember not to make the emperor angry.”
I bit my lower lip and nodded. It's impossible to say that I'm not afraid. My life is in the hands of the Emperor. It's just that I didn't do anything wrong. He shouldn't do anything to me, right?
She didn't know when the banquet ended. I only know that two eunuchs walked to my side and said in a sharp voice," The emperor has decreed that Ge Ge please." I hurried away from the table, under the watchful eyes of a table full of women with varying expressions.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, the two eunuchs stopped. One of them whispered into the room,"Qin Sangya is here." I raised my head and saw a small side hall. The words 'Xiao Chen Palace' were written on the door. The curtain inside was lifted. The eunuch on the left gave me a light push, and I fell inside involuntarily.
It was a small room filled with wooden and bamboo products. Opposite the door was a small round table, two bamboo chairs, and two bamboo stools on each side. There was a bookcase against the wall. In front of the bookcase was a desk and a wooden chair. Emperor Kangxi was sitting on the chair behind the desk. I quickly knelt down to pay my respects. Kang Xi waved his hand and pointed to the bamboo chair in the corner."Get up and sit there." I moved over and sat down. He didn't speak, and I didn't make a sound. I just sat there.
About five minutes later. Kang Xi had been looking at something on the desk. I sat upright, staring at my toes. "Do you know about your aunt?" Kang Xi asked.”
My heart skipped a beat. As expected, she called me here for my aunt. After some thought, he said loudly," Your Majesty, I have two aunts. My eldest aunt, Qin Xiaoxun, passed away before I was born. My youngest aunt, Qin Xiaoxuan, married into the Tong family and has been with them for many years.”
"Oh, Xiao Xuan is guarding it?" Kang Xi seemed to be shocked and muttered,"I was just a little kid back then…so fast.”After a pause, he continued," Back then, your Aunt Xiaoxun lived here. Unfortunately, she was unlucky and passed away early." Your father is the only one she can't let go of. It's just that when she went, she still didn't want zhen to take special care of the Qin family. She's really stubborn. Your father passed away at a young age. I'm sorry, Xiaoxun."
I just lowered my head and didn't say anything. It seemed like Kang Xi had a deep affection for my aunt. Unfortunately, my aunt wasn't blessed. Thinking of this, I respectfully said,"It's this servant's aunt and father who don't have good fortune. Your Majesty, take care of your dragon body." Let's not talk about the past anymore.”
Kang Xi actually smiled. Today, you look like Xiaoxun, which gave me a shock. He didn't expect the Qin family and the Aisin Gioro family to be fated.”I couldn't help but say,"Yes, aunt said that the women of the Qin family are destined to be concubines."”
"Do you think it's unfair to be Ge Ge?”Kang Xi's voice was a little shaky. I shook my head." This servant doesn't dare to. But if I had a choice, this servant would rather marry an ordinary poor man and be the first wife than be a concubine with a luxurious life."”Kang Xi was stunned and asked in a trembling voice,""Is status really that important?"
"It's not status, but dignity."”
"Dignity?" Kang Xi was confused. He repeated it twice and finally looked at me, and I looked back at him. He smiled miserably." Maybe you're right. Xiaoxun has always been unhappy. I lied to her. I harmed her!"”
I looked at him and thought that Aunt Xiaoxun must have a long story. Kang Xi smiled and pointed to something he had been looking at."You've never been to Xiaoxun, right? Come and take a look at her portrait.”
I stood up and walked forward. I looked at the painting beside him. The person in the painting was wearing a dark blue Han costume and had a simple bun. There was only a golden buyao in his hair, and that buyao looked very familiar. After thinking for a long time, he finally remembered that it was the one that Aunt Xiaoxuan had been wearing. In the painting, Qin Xiaoxun was holding her gills with both hands and had a smile on her face. She really looked like me. However, her eyes were filled with sadness, and the smile was only on the surface, not in her eyes. I muttered,"Aunt is not happy."”
"Yes, she has been unhappy since she entered the palace." Kang Xi said slowly and heavily.”"What about you?" he asked after a pause. Are you happy?"
"Me?" I'm lost. Yes, am I happy? The answer is no. I'm very unhappy! She plucked up her courage and replied," I'm not happy either. We won't be happy again after marrying into the royal family.”
Kang Xi looked at me sadly for a long time, as if he wanted to see another person through me. Finally, when I was about to give in, he waved his hand."You can go back." I knelt down and kowtowed. Just as I was about to get up, he took off the jade ring on his hand and gave it to me."The song you sang today was very good, and the dance was also very good.”I took the ring. I pity Kangxi a little. Maybe he loves my Aunt Xiaoxun. He respectfully kowtowed to thank her for the reward and walked out. Kang Xi still needed some time to calm down.
The two eunuchs sent me to the banquet venue. She was still waiting for me. Seeing that I had returned, Nala Shi came up to me and asked nervously,"What is it?"
I glanced at Yin. He was still expressionless, but his clenched fists revealed some of his thoughts. I smiled and raised the jade thumb ring." The emperor only praised my performance and rewarded me with a thumb ring.”
Yin? He looked at the ring and said,"This is the Emperor's favorite ring. I've almost never seen him take it off." Since you've given it to me, you have to take good care of it.”
I excitedly pulled out the butterfly sachet on my waist and said,"Then I'll wear it."
Yin? His expression changed. He snatched the jade butterfly and said,""Was it given to you by Fourteen?"
I smiled as if I was taking revenge." Yes, the 14th master is very generous. He knows that I like this kind of sachet, so he gave me one. It's strange. I didn't tell him that I like this!”
Yin? With a humph, he stuffed the jade butterfly into my hand and turned around to leave. Nala pulled me along and whispered,""This was given to Fourteenth Brother by Consort De. His highness also has one. I didn't expect Fourteenth Brother to give it to you.”
I looked at Nala Shi and said,"Why didn't His Highness give you that?"”
"Maybe it's not the time yet," she said with a bitter smile.”
I didn't feel good either. I said lightly,"Who knows what wangye is thinking, why didn't 14th master give him the Fujin? I'm only half his sister-in-law!" Nala seemed to have a lot on her mind and ignored my words. She just pulled me and quickly caught up with Yin.。
When he returned to the Imperial Residence, Xin Yue had already returned. I closed the door and she said with a smile,"I'm fine! I bought a small courtyard near the Bodhi Temple in the western suburbs according to your wishes.”
I took out the things that I rewarded today. She picked out a few inconspicuous ones and said,"Send them to me secretly tomorrow and ask her to think of a way to pawn them."”
Xin Yue looked at me strangely and asked,"Why?"”
I sighed,"Auntie has to find a way to support herself!" Besides, I have to plan for myself.”Seeing that she didn't understand, I smiled." You won't understand even if I tell you. The Imperial Residence might not be my final destination."”Xin Yue was still silly. I didn't want to explain anymore. I packed the things and sent her back.
