Qingchuan returned to the Qianxi No. 4 Institute and slept for the last night. The next morning, he packed up his baggage and went to Chengqian Palace to report. When passing by the imperial garden, I saw eight elder brothers, nine elder brothers, and ten elder brothers drinking tea in the pavilion from a distance. Qingchuan curled his lips secretly. These three people are considered adult elder brothers anyway. They are so idle all day. No wonder Kangxi shouts tired all day long. If it goes on like this, he is not tired!
Qingchuan deliberately avoided a few of them, carrying a baggage, and turned on another road. After not taking two steps, he heard Eighth Brother call her from behind: "Qingchuan, come here."
The elder brother summoned, Qingchuan had to be obedient, and had to lower his head and pass by, respectfully greeting the three of them.
Eighth Brother asked displeasedly: "Why do you hide while looking at me?"
Qingchuan shook his head and pretended to be stupid: "No slave maid. The slave maid did not see the three elder brothers here.
Eighth-age snorted coldly, unwilling to care about this issue with her, and felt that what he did last night was really embarrassing, so he explained: "Are you still angry about what happened last night? Tell you, I am also angry. Half-dead..."
Qingchuan said in amazement, "What's so angry about you? You should be happy."
Eighth Brother raised his eyebrows and looked at her, and asked coldly: "Why should I be happy?"
Qingchuan replied: "Ningxiang Gege is so beautiful and so sensible. You guys must have had a good conversation last night? When will you go to Mongolia, congratulations."
Eighth elder brother was stunned, and said angrily: "You woman, why don't you know good or bad? Yesterday, the person I wanted to pull was you. I didn't expect to pull the wrong person..."
Qingchuan sneered, and said, "I look different from her and dress differently, so I will pull the wrong person. Eight princes treat me as a three-year-old child? How about you treat yourself as Daoming Temple and play the Meteor Garden
Ba Age was a little confused by her continual questions, and couldn't help asking: "Who is Daoming Temple and what Meteor Garden?"
Qingchuan ignored him, bowed his knees and saluted him again, retiring and said, "I'm sorry, I'm going to Chengqian Palace to greet the concubine Liangmao, and leave."
Turn around and leave after speaking. Not too far away, before people left the Yuhuayuan, they ran into the Ningxiang Gege from yesterday. Qingchuan cried out unlucky in secret. Today, he is obviously reciting the words, and he can meet these second-hands everywhere.
Ningxiang looked at Qingchuan and exclaimed, "Hey, aren't you the same Qingchuan last night?"
Seeing that Qingchuan couldn't hide, he had to salute again: "See Ningxiang Gege."
Ningxiang Gege circled Qingchuan and said with a smile: "I can see that you are very familiar with Ba Ge."
Qingchuan faintly replied: "You are misunderstood. The servant girl is just a little maidservant, and the eighth brother Meng is worthy of it, so he usually talks to the servant girl."
Ningxiang asked, "Really?"
Qingchuan nodded.
Ningxiang was overjoyed immediately and clapped his hands: "That's great, I can get to know him through you."
Qingchuan said lukewarmly: "If you want to get to know the eighth elder brother, it's most suitable to find the concubine.
Ningxiang said, "I saw him being very restrained in front of his mother last night, but it's better to get close to you. Qingchuan, you don't know, it was the first time I saw him last night. I didn't want to marry him. Coming from the palace, there are many rules in the palace, and there are many women. How can the Mongolian grassland be as spacious and unrestrained as our Mongolian grassland? But yesterday I met him, I don’t know why, and I have a strange feeling? Until this morning, in my mind He still looks like him, you say, does this mean... like it?"
Qingchuan was speechless and could only remain silent. Na Ningxiang Gege took her hand and said, "Go, you come with me and go to my room."
Qingchuan refused hurriedly, but Ningxiang Gege couldn't help but drag her away. Qingchuan couldn't help wailing in her heart, grandma's, if you drag me away like this regardless, I have to be on the board for delaying errands!
Ningxiang pulled Qingchuan to the Nueng Pavilion of Shufangzhai where she was temporarily staying. It was the first time Qingchuan came to this place. Didn't it mean that Shufangzhai was a stage? How come you really live in Shanggee
Ningxiang didn't know the chaotic thoughts in Qingchuan's heart, and said straightforwardly: "Qingchuan, I want to be a sister with you, would you like it?"
Qingchuan was stunned, and almost fell over in surprise, and secretly cursed that it was not herself that Nima had passed through. It was the Ningxiang Gege in front of her. She had passed through in the 21st century. Come up and be a sister to the first palace lady, is she going to change her name next
Qingchuan said hurriedly: "I'm just a servant."
Ningxiang said, "Don't you say that. I don't like to listen to slaves or servants. The women of the same age I met here are either silent palace maids or self-righteous gege, but you and them Not the same, you are very real, a bit like our Mongolian girl. I hope we are like the best sisters, I have something to tell you, and if you have something to tell me, my biggest concern right now is My eighth brother, if I can marry him, it will be the happiest thing in my life. How about you come over and see these clothes?"
Qingchuan was stupefied by her "sister theory" a long time ago, and let her drag herself to the closet. Seeing that she was still looking at herself expectantly, Qingchuan only felt a little confused in her mind, so she just pulled from it. A dress came out and handed it to Ningxiang, "This pink one is good..."
Ningxiang entangled Qingchuan and said for a long time before letting her go back. Back outside her house in Chengqian Palace, I saw Eighth Brother leaning at the door looking at her. Qingchuan bends his knees to ask for peace and say: "The Eighth Brother is auspicious."
Eighth Brother looked at her quietly for a while, and asked aloud: "Didn't you say that you are coming to settle down? Why have you gone for a long time?"
Qingchuan hesitated, wondering whether to tell him about Ningxiang Gege's encounter.
Seeing that Qingchuan didn’t answer, the eighth prince didn’t ask any more. He just smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I’ve already told the eunuch in charge. He won’t tell E Niang. The house will be cleaned up for you, too. Come and see if you are satisfied?"
Qingchuan entered the house and looked at it, and saw that the layout of the house was really exquisite, almost not like the place where a palace lady lived. She turned around, Xie Ba Ge said: "Thank you Ba Ge."
Eighth Brother smiled and asked: "Aren't you angry now?"
Qingchuan had already thought it through on the way here, and her status was so different from Ba Age. Rather than having delusions, it would be better to just let it go. After thinking for a while, she decided that it would be better to explain the matter to him, so she raised her eyes to look at him, and solemnly said: "Big Brother, Ningxiang Gege is dressed very beautifully today, won't you go and see her?"
Eighth brother was taken aback for a while.
Qingchuan said again: "She recognized me as a good sister, and asked me how to dress up to please Ba Ge? I have been busy for an afternoon, and Ba Ge will take a look somehow."
Eighth Brother tilted his head back slightly, looked at Qingchuan's expression carefully, and asked softly: "Why do you have to push me into someone else's arms?"
Qingchuan paused, and replied: "It's not that I pushed you out, but the distance between us is too far. Think about it, since we realize how many things are happening now, maybe God doesn't want us to be together at all. , We are too wishful..."
"Qingchuan, you..."
Qingchuan pushed him outside the door and said lightly: "Don't say anything, I have already decided, it's too late and I want to sleep, please go out..."
After speaking, he closed the door.
The Eighth Brother outside the door has not been moving. Qingchuan leaned against the door and stood in the house, feeling sad for a while. Although she can laugh and yell at these people, can she really not care about it in her heart
I heard a little eunuch calling Ba Age outside the door, saying that it was Kangxi who passed him over. He responded indifferently to the yard, turned around, and whispered to the door of the room: "Qingchuan, I know you are behind the door. I understand everything you think in your heart. I will only tell you a word. No matter what you will experience in the future, I only hope that the person standing next to you is you."
After he finished speaking, he stood outside the door again, and then left.
Qingchuan couldn't help but wiped her tears, and said bitterly: "Sentimental, isn't it just sensational, I'm not fooled!"
Although I said this, the tears rolled even more anxiously.
Eighth prince entered the warm pavilion of Qianqing Palace and saw that Concubine Liang was also here. He couldn't help but be a little surprised. After a pause, he lifted his robe and knelt down and said, "My son, see Huang Ama, E Niang."
Kangxi glanced at Concubine Liang with a smile, then turned his head and said to Ba Age: "Ba Ba, you are not too young anymore. Your mother wants me to point Ningxiang Gege to you. What do you think?"
The eighth elder brother replied loudly: "I don't want to marry Ningxiang Gege."
As soon as this remark came out, Kangxi and Liang Fei looked at each other and couldn't help frowning.
Kangxi asked him: "Why?"
Ba Age replied readily: "Erchen doesn't like her."
Concubine Liang was annoyed when she heard it, and said angrily: "Absurd. This marital event has always been ordered by your parents and the matchmaker's words. How can you say whether you like it or not?"
Eighth brother looked at her directly and asked: "Huang Ama once said that the so-called soft spot lies in the word "independence". Didn't Erniang walk out of the cold palace and stand by relying on the word "independence" of Huang Ama. Are you here? You have your own personal experience, why can't you understand your son's heart?"
Concubine Liang was startled slightly. She didn't expect her son to tell her about herself. She wanted to refute, but she couldn't say that what her son said was wrong. If it is wrong, it means Kangxi was wrong. Concubine Liang thought for a while, and sighed: "This is different. You are still young, and you don't know how to be unpredictable. What E Niang does is for your good."
Eighth-age shook his head, "When I was a child, I was afraid of thunder, and when I needed my mother to accompany me, where was my mother? When I was injured on horseback and needed my mother to take care of me, where was my mother? , You haven’t participated in your son’s life, now why are you doing me good? Why?”
Concubine Liang couldn't help being stunned.
Kangxi shouted angrily on the side: "Presumptuous. How dare you talk to your mother like this?"
