Chapter 111: The Bell Ringing

"No, I only like to tease you!" Yinzhen lifted his robe and sat down opposite Ling Ruo, with a slight smile on his face, "How is it? Is your appetite better today?"

"It's still the same, I can't eat much." Ling Ruo answered and then added: "Mommy said that you don't have much appetite in the first few months of pregnancy. It will get better after a while. Fourth master, don't worry too much."

"Who said I'm worried about you?" Seeing that Ling Ruo was frightened by his words, a smile unconsciously appeared on his handsome face. He pinched Ling Ruo's small nose and said, "I'm worried about my son."

"Okay, it turns out that Fourth Master only has children in his heart and no concubine at all." Ling Ruo pretended to be angry and turned away, ignoring Yinzhen.

When Yinzhen saw this, he laughed, hugged Ling Ruo's fragrant body and said warmly: "Okay, okay, don't be angry, I was just teasing you. The child is important, but the child's mother is equally important. I only think in my heart

I hope both mother and son are well."

"I know." There was an indifferent smile at the corner of Ling Ruo's mouth, her soft and boneless arms climbed up to Yinzhen's neck, and her wide cloud sleeves fell down on her arms, revealing a pair of coral hands that were as red as blood.

The jewel was shining brightly, and her flawless white skin was still dazzling even in the dark night.

Maybe, she will never be able to become Yinzhen's favorite woman in her whole life; but she will try her best to become Yongjun Prince's favorite woman; she will always...always stay with him and their children.

There was a wordless sigh in her heart. There was always regret in such a life, but she could only do so...

After a moment of tenderness, Ling Ruo played with the beads on Yinzhen's neck and asked curiously, "Did the fourth master just come back from the palace?" Usually, Yinzhen would change out of the court clothes when he came back from court, but tonight he was still wearing stone.

A green embroidered four-clawed golden dragon is embroidered on the court dress with sea water patterns, and even the court beads are not removed.

"Well, after today's court, Emperor Ama called me to the Yangxin Hall to ask about some matters about the Ministry of Punishment, so I was a little late." Yinzhenxuan frowned and held Ling Ruo's hand and said with a smile: "Accompany the Emperor

When Amma was having dinner, he asked about your current situation. He was very happy when he learned that you were pregnant. He gave me many things to bring so that you could have a good life and take care of him. He also said that when the child is born in the future, both men and women will need it.

Give him his name himself."

Even Yinzhen was amazed by Kangxi's kindness to Ling Ruo. Among the more than ten brothers, he had never heard of any wife or concubine being treated so differently by Kangxi. Not even the prince's son was treated favorably by Kangxi.

The name is Long En. However, Yinzhen was someone who had been in and out of Kangxi's study.

He had seen the portrait in the South Study Room more than once. The feeling of déjà vu that he had when he looked at Ling Ruo for the first time by the Linyuan Pond that day came from this. Although he did not know who the woman in the painting was, he could imagine

We know that Kangxi's unusual attitude towards Ling Ruo must be related to this painting.

"Gou'er, go and move in the things that Emperor Ama rewarded." Yinzhen ordered casually, but after waiting for a long time, he saw no movement from the dog. He frowned and looked back, only to see the dog standing in a daze.

I don't know what I was thinking there, I turned a deaf ear to Yinzhen's words, and I didn't see the usual cleverness at all.

"Gou'er!" Under Yinzhen's deliberately aggravated tone, Gou'er suddenly came back to his senses. Seeing Yinzhen staring at him with an unhappy expression, he quickly knelt down to apologize.

Yinzhen stared at the dog's head coldly and said, "If you don't want to take this job, just say so. I will send you elsewhere now."

The dog was startled, and kowtowed with fear on his face: "I deserve to die, I deserve to die. I beg Fourth Master to forgive me, and I promise that I will never do it again."

Seeing what he said, Yinzhen's face turned slightly pale, but he still snorted coldly: "Remember your words, I will never be lenient again next time." He could never tolerate a grain of sand in his eyes, and he was giving distance to those around him.

The monthly salary, which is richer than other places, also requires them to work hard and not allow any negligence.

"Why don't you hurry up and move in the things the emperor rewarded? Do you still want me to move it myself?" Seeing the dog still kneeling there, Yinzhen pretended to kick him and said angrily.

"Hey!" Gou'er agreed quickly, lowered his reddish eyes and walked out. Not long after, he led a few boys to bring in a lot of things, mostly medicines that nourished Qi, as well as pearls, silk, etc.

items, the most curious thing is one that was carried in by two boys

The object is half a person tall, covered with a wooden frame, inlaid with gold-plated carved dragons, inlaid with cockscomb stones and gold. In the middle is a disk with characters that Ling Ruo doesn't recognize on it. There are two sticks of different lengths in the middle.

A long needle with a round ball shaking rhythmically at the bottom.

"Fourth Master, what is this? I have never seen this before." Ling Ruo watched curiously as the two servants carefully placed things on the stone table. When they put them down, the slightly longer needle appeared on its own.

It moved a bit.

Yinzhen smiled and said: "This is a self-ringing bell brought as tribute from the West. It is used to record the time. Do you see the characters in a circle?" Seeing Ling Ruo nodding, he added: "Those are Western numbers, which represent the arrival of the day."

Twelve, each moment is equivalent to half of our

Hour, there is a mechanism inside, and an eagle will chirp out of the small grid above every half hour. The long and short needles represent minutes and hours. One circle of the long needle represents half an hour, and one circle of the short needle represents six hours.

Two hours, two circles means one day and one night."

Ling Ruo's mind is clever and clear. After listening to Yinzhen's simple explanation, he already understood the principle of this self-ringing bell. It has the same purpose as the copper kettle dripper, but it is more convenient and accurate. The daily error is only three characters of "long needle".

Just adjust the error on time every day.

"The emperor has given you such a generous gift, and I feel ashamed to have received it." Ling Ruo said uneasily. Although she didn't know how much this chiming bell was worth, just seeing that there wasn't even one in Yong County Prince's Palace showed how rare it was. I'm afraid there weren't even many in the palace.

seat.

Yinzhen patted her hand and comforted her: "Just accept what the emperor has given you. Besides, you are pregnant with a child now. It is really convenient to have a chiming clock to tell the time." After ordering the man to move the chiming clock, he patted her hand and comforted her.

After placing it in the main hall of Jingsiju, he casually said: "In addition, Huang Ama also asked Dr. Xu to take care of you and the child."

Hearing Rong Yuan's name, a momentary shock appeared in her eyes. She had thought that after the Li incident, she and Rong Yuan would go back to their own way, and there would never be any intersection from now on. She never thought...

She and Rong Yuan were entangled in each other...

While talking, Xiaoluzi brought in the chilled sour plum soup. Yinzhen took it with one hand and drank it. After looking at Ling Ruojiao's beautiful side face, he sighed: "I don't know why, they are obviously the same thing, but eating it here feels different."

It tastes better elsewhere. Ruo'er, could it be that you put some medicine in it?"

Ling Ruo filled him another bowl of sour plum soup and joked: "Yes, yes, I have planted poppies here, and the fourth master will never leave her after tasting them once."

Yinzhen was in a very good mood and also joked: "Aren't you the best poppy yourself? I can't live without you Ruo'er for a long time."

Although she knew that Yinzhen was joking, Ling Ruo still felt dizzy after hearing this. She spat and pushed him, "I'm sorry that Fourth Master came here just to make fun of me, so I'm ignoring you!"

Her shy and charming appearance made Yinzhen burst into laughter. After laughing, he shook Ling Ruorou's boneless hand and said sincerely: "It's not a joke, it's true. Ruo'er, I sincerely hope that you can stay with me for the rest of my life."

"Although there are countless women in this house, you are the only one who makes me feel this way."

His words moved Ling Ruo greatly, and the love that had been suppressed in his heart burst out at this moment. He held Yinzhen's generous palm tightly with his backhand, and made a vow willingly under the starry sky, "Then we agree, for the rest of our lives."

, unwavering determination!”

Love - this word is too heavy and she doesn't want to think about it. It's enough to know that Yinzhen has her in her heart... People can't be too greedy, not to mention she has a child to take care of; even if she really has grievances, she just pretends that they don't exist.
