Chapter 61: Is she going all the way?

He said: "Jing Qingchuan has trouble with this matter, eight princes are unreliable. It happened that we were too close to him before. If someone who is interested comes to the prince and talks a few gossips, it is inevitable that the prince will feel in his heart. Think more. Ask Xinlian to go, just to ask her to probe his tone."

Wanyue suddenly realized, and hurriedly flattered: "The empress is really smart."

Xiu smiled triumphantly, "To live in the palace, and to live a good life in the palace, the most important thing is to know how to look at the limelight, and borrow the east wind to fly higher."

While talking, I heard someone report from outside: "Xinlian is back."

Wanyue looked at Xiu questioningly, nodded slightly when she saw her, and hurriedly passed Xinlian in. After a while, Xinlian came in from outside with a few brocade boxes, and replied: "Niang, the slave and maid sent it to the prince. The prince asked the slave to tell the maiden. He accepted the kindness of the maiden, but he couldn't accept the things."

He looked at the brocade box in Xinlian's arms, smiled coldly, and asked, "Is the prince really unwilling to accept anything?"

Xinlian replied: "The prince said that the emperor hates party formation and private business, so from now on he will not accept gifts from anyone, nor will he meet with any insignificant people."

He was even more annoyed when he heard it, and bit his lip without speaking.

Xinlian carefully observed Xi's face, and said tentatively: "Manny? But this time the slave went, but found something." Xi's looked at her, and Xinlian hurriedly smiled flatteringly. Continued, "When the slave and maid went, the prince was looking at a painting. The person on the painting was... Qingchuan."

Xi'an looked startled and asked, "You mean the prince is looking at the portrait of Qingchuan?"

Xinlian nodded, and said, "The slave girl asked about it, saying that it was painted by the painters of the Royal Prince Ruyi Pavilion, and she kept calling Qingchuan Fairy Gu. If I say that Qingchuan is also really good, it's a hook up first. Eighth elder brother, now he is going to confuse the prince again, it is simply shameless.

Wanyue said in a strange way: "Qingchuan is now serving in front of the imperial court, and the prince often follows the emperor to deal with political affairs. Obviously, I can see Qingchuan. Why do I ask the painter to paint Qingchuan's portrait?"

With a thoughtful look, he was quiet for a while, and suddenly asked Wan Yue: "You said that if the palace gave Qingchuan to the prince, would the prince go to the palace?"

Wanyue and Xinlian glanced at each other secretly, lowered their heads, and Wanyue replied, "The slave and maid don't know."

But Xiu smiled, a plan gradually formed in his heart, a way to please the prince, but also to defeat the concubine Dee!

Let’s talk about the prince. Since his reinstatement, he has become more calm in his behaviors, and he has become more concerned about government affairs. Kangxi was very pleased, saying that he had received a lesson and had grown, but he didn't know that he had a few compliments from Kangxi, so that he could ask Kangxi for Qingchuan's past thoughts.

Although Kangxi didn't notice the prince's thoughts, Qingchuan vaguely noticed something wrong, because she found that as long as she was away from Kangxi's eyes, the prince's eyes always stuck to her. This gaze called Qingchuan as uncomfortable as sitting on pins and needles. After so many times, she began to try to hide from the prince. As long as the prince came to report political affairs to Kangxi, she would try to avoid going out, or simply with others. Shift.

Unexpectedly, just like this, he was caught by the prince.

An old concubine in Ningshou Palace passed away. Since Kangxi has always advocated filial piety to govern the country, she attached great importance to it. He specially called the prince and several ministers to discuss the funeral of the old concubine in Ningshou Palace. I ordered Qin Tianjian to watch and bury Dongling in ten days later. The old concubine had instructed during her lifetime that she wanted several Eight Banners women to voluntarily guard the mausoleum for her for three years. The Ministry of Internal Affairs will see how to arrange it?"

Guarding the mausoleum is a very bitter and lonely thing, and ordinary people don't want to go, let alone the aristocratic women of the Eight Banners. The next minister said with some embarrassment: "The minister should do his best, but if he volunteers, I'm afraid..."

Kangxi said: "I also know that it will make you very embarrassed. I just try my best to find it. The big deal is to increase the compensation." Then he confessed to other people, "You and others will also help him."

Everyone is busy.

Qingchuan was on duty, lowered his head and brought the tea in, carefully placed it in front of Kangxi, and whispered: "The emperor, please use tea."

Kangxi said casually: "Let it go."

Qingchuan put down the tea, and when he turned around, he saw the prince winking at her. She was so scared that her scalp tightened, and she was slightly startled. Fortunately, Kangxi didn't notice it, but just told everyone: "Okay, let's go back if there is nothing else. Qingchuan, send the prince and all the adults out, and share the American ginseng that Annan paid tribute to everyone."

Qingchuan promised to go out and took some people to the warehouse to collect American ginseng and distribute it to the prince and several ministers. The ministers all thanked them and left, but the prince did not leave. He just blocked the way of Qingchuan and said, "Auntie, you can bear it again. Waiting for a few more days, I will take advantage of Huang Ama. When I was happy, I asked him to leave."

Qingchuan was taken aback, and before he refused, someone sneered not far away: "No wonder he refused to marry mynah because he wanted to climb higher branches."

Both Qingchuan and the prince were taken aback, the prince turned his head and looked over, wondering: "Old nine?"

"Second brother." Jiu elder brother greeted the prince hastily, then turned to look at Qingchuan, saw that she ignored herself, but kept looking behind him, and sneered: "Don't look. , Mynah just saw you and the prince tugging, and they have already left."

Qingchuan was taken aback, and asked: "Ba Ge was there just now?"

Brother Jiu nodded and said tauntingly: "You can't tell, you will be the fourth brother and the prince, you can really cast a net for fish!"

The prince heard it strangely, and couldn't help but ask Jiu's brother: "Lao Jiu, what are you talking about? Who wants to marry Lao Ba?"

Brother Jiu pointed to Qingchuan and sneered: "It's this woman, second brother, don't be fooled by her. She is so clever that she drew starlings to be tempted by her, but she waved away."

Qingchuan has been enduring his temper, but at this moment he finally couldn't bear it, and said coldly: "Elder Brother Jiu also pay attention to what he says. Don't come up and slander people with red lips and white teeth. The servants and servants are honestly doing the Qing palace every day As a errand, when did you provoke the eighth prince?" Then he turned and squatted on the prince, and said, "The slave servant is still on duty in front of the imperial court, the prince, the nineth prince, the slave servant has retired first!"

After speaking, he ignored the two of them, turned around and left.

Back outside the main hall, I heard people say that the eighth elder brother was replying to the emperor inside. Qingchuan thought for a while and went to Li Dequan to take a false statement: "Li Jingda, I feel a little uncomfortable. I'm afraid that I will be rude before Yuqian, so I want to go back and rest first."

Li Dequan knew that Kangxi treated Qingchuan differently from others, and he didn't make it difficult for her, so he allowed her to leave.

The next day, when Qingchuan was on duty at the Qingchuan Palace, a little eunuch secretly handed her a string of Buddhist beads, and whispered: "The eighth brother gave you yesterday, the sandalwood from the South China Sea. The role of soothing the nerves. Eighth brother said that you are always doing night vigil in the Qing Palace, and you can't sleep well. It will be better if you bring this."

What kind of mind is this eighth brother? Qingchuan stared at the Buddhist beads for a long while, but didn't put them on, only caged in his sleeves.

Li Dequan came out lightly from the hall and called Qingchuan over and instructed: "The emperor summoned the fourth prince to come over to talk about offering the old mausoleum to the old concubine. He is still in the warm pavilion. I'm hungry, so you can send some food in."

When Qingchuan heard that Brother Si was inside, he couldn't help but was taken aback. After thinking about it, he went to the small kitchen and brought two bowls of hot tits and sent them to the warm pavilion. I heard Kangxi say: "The old concubine has no children, and always treats me as my own person. I can't have a conscience. Her funeral will be done. Fourth, you should pay more attention."

The fourth elder brother replied in a deep voice: "My son knows that he would go to the old concubine's spirit to worship every day, and he will definitely urge them to handle the old concubine's funeral. Huang Ama can rest assured.

Qingchuan lightly brought the jade bowl to Kangxi, and said softly: "The weather is cold, let the emperor warm his stomach with a bowl of hot tits."

Kangxi nodded, watching Qingchuan put the jade bowl on the desk, and casually said to the fourth eldest brother: "I'm so anxious in the morning, I must not have time to eat, you should also use a bowl."

Qingchuan gave the other bowl to Si elder brother, Si elder brother quickly got up and thanked Kangxi, raised his eyes to look at Qingchuan, took the bowl and drank it, and put it back on the tray. Qingchuan didn't dare to look up at him, lowered his head and carefully stepped back. He was relieved until he quit the warm pavilion.

After a while, Si elder brother came out of the hall, but stopped when he walked past Qingchuan, and said in a low voice, "Thank you."

Qingchuan watched his nose and nose, and said faintly: "The duty of slaves, the fourth eldest brother is polite."

Si Age glanced at her silently, but didn't say anything, turned his head and left.

Qingchuan raised her head and looked at his back. She couldn't tell what she felt in her heart for a while. At that dinner, she was mistaken by Kangxi for the evildoer to be executed. She thought he would be the one who saved her. Unexpectedly, he was silent all the time, and he never even said a word for her.

Perhaps, she had always been passionate about herself, thinking that she was a little special with him. It turned out that in his eyes, she was just a little palace lady who was insignificant.

Si elder brother strode across the hallway in the palace, but Qingchuan always looked down in silence just now. From beginning to end, she never raised her eyes to look at him. There was also the faint "servant's duty". For some reason, his mood suddenly became a little anxious.

Just as he was about to leave the palace gate, a little eunuch came after him and shouted, "Fourth brother, please stay!"

Si elder brother stopped and turned around and asked faintly: "What's the matter?"

The little eunuch apparently ran in a hurry, panting, and replied in a respectful voice: "The minion is in the palace of Concubine De consort, and the lady wants you to visit her."

The fourth elder brother was slightly startled when he heard this. Although Defei was his biological mother, there was always something separated between the mother and the son. Defei always treated him politely, and was far from the fourteenth brother. That kind of closeness. Why did you suddenly come to him this time? Si elder brother glanced at the sweaty little eunuch, but didn't ask anything, just turned around and went to Yonghe Palace.
