Seeing the two of them accept the red envelope, Rong Xiang suddenly pulled Ling Ruo's sleeve and whispered: "Sister, Amma and Er Niang are here too. They are looking forward to meeting you. Can you see if you can make them accommodating?
, let Ama'er Niang come into the house to celebrate the New Year together?"
When Ling Ruo asked this question to the Mao brothers, they seemed very embarrassed. Ling Ruo also knew in her heart that after all, they were not people who could trust each other with their lives like Li Wei and Mo Yu. They only wanted to benefit each other, so how could they take risks?
Even if Lingzhu and his wife are allowed into another courtyard, no one can guarantee that there will be no informants from Prince Yong's Mansion.
However, the Mao brothers did not say anything. After thinking for a moment, Mao Da came up with a plan and said to Ling Ruo: "Although I dare not let the master and his wife enter the house, I can let the master meet them through the door."
Following Mao Da's words, Ling Ruo stood behind the door that was opened a crack, looking across the door from Ling Zhu and his wife who were pretending to pass by. Fucha saw Ling Ruo's eyes filled with tears several times.
When she wanted to rush over, Ling Zhu held her tightly, telling her to calm down and not to harm her daughter. In fact, he himself was very excited.
They walked slowly through the door of the other courtyard, looking back three times at a time. When they were so far away that they could no longer see the other courtyard, they wiped away their tears and helped each other to leave. In the other courtyard, Ling Ruo's face was already full of tears, and she sobbed softly:
"Ama... my mother... it's all my daughter who is unfilial and makes you two elders worry again and again. My daughter is sorry for you!" In just a quick glance, she had already discovered that Ama's face was much older. It must be because she was worried about her.
thing
"Master, don't be too sad. I believe that you and the master and his wife will be reunited one day. Besides, isn't the second young master accompanying you now?" Li Wei comforted Ling Ruo softly. After Ling Ruo calmed down, he helped her.
She sat down and made another cup of tea. She warmed her hands and said, "Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. Even if you have any unhappy things, you have to put them aside for the time being and live your life happily."
Year."
Ling Ruo nodded, wiped the crystal from the corners of her eyes and looked at Rong Xiang and said, "Where's Yilan, why didn't you see her?" She didn't ask Rong Lu, because she knew that her eldest brother was working in another place, and the mountains were high and the roads were far away, and the back and forth was extremely long.
It was inconvenient. Originally, he could return to Beijing to resume his duties after his term last year, but the imperial court kept him in office for another term, and he would not come back until the expiration of his term.
"Don't mention it." When talking about this, Rong Xiang sighed, "She came back crying that day and said that her sister beat her and caused her to be kicked out by the people of Prince Yong's Mansion and she lost face. She said that she would never pay attention to her sister again.
No matter how much Ma'er Niang tried to persuade me, it was of no use. She stayed in the house all morning and refused to come even though she said nothing."
For this sister, Ling Ruo always felt a little guilty, so she said: "That's all, when she grows up, she will understand my difficulties." After a pause, she suddenly frowned and said uncertainly: "Just now, I saw nothing but E Niang and the others.
It seems that there is someone looking at me faintly in the distance, but I can’t see clearly from too far away, Rongxiang, do you know who it is?”
Rong Xiang's eyes flashed, he played with the silver-enameled dagger given by Li Wei and said a little uncomfortably: "There is no one there, it must be my sister. You are mistaken, that is an irrelevant passerby."
"Really?" Ling Ruo looked at him suspiciously. Ever since he was young, Da Rongxiang had not dared to look at him whenever he lied. He was clearly hiding something from him. That person definitely knew him. Who was he? Except Ama.
Who else besides her mother would go out of her way to see her? It would definitely not be her eldest brother. Otherwise, Rong Xiang wouldn’t have told her earlier. Could it be that... she felt something in her heart and asked tentatively: "But Rong Yuan?"
"How do you know?" Rong Xiang was a child after all. He couldn't hold his breath and blurted out. Although he covered his mouth tightly afterwards, it was already too late.
"Now that he's here, why do you want to avoid seeing him and not let me know?"
Rong Xiang put down the hand covering his mouth and looked at her and said in a low voice: "Actually, brother Rong Yuan comes with us every time, but he doesn't want me to tell you, saying that he is afraid that you will feel uncomfortable; besides... there are no outsiders here.
"?" Rong Xiang said the last words very softly, his eyes glancing at the Mao brothers not far away.
When love is too deep, it will turn into a kind of bondage. Rong Yuan understands this truth, and also understands the difference between his and Ling Ruo's identities. Even now, Ling Ruo has been deposed as a commoner, it is still difficult to change his past behavior.
As a royal person, it is impossible to interact with him now or in the future, otherwise it will only harm others and yourself!
The current Emperor Kangxi is wise and tolerant, so he does not need to investigate his past with Ling Ruo; but Yinzhen is different. This is a very suspicious prince. If someone discovers his relationship with Ling Ruo, he will be killed.
If you make a fuss in front of Yinzhen, it will definitely arouse his deep suspicion and turn into a raging rage that will consume everything!
The Mao brothers are never really people who can be trusted.
Rong Yuan knew that Ling Ruo had always felt guilty about him, and seeing each other too much would only deepen that guilt, so he chose to stay together silently from a distance.
Don’t ask for anything in return, don’t care about gains or losses, just wish her a happy life...
Ling Ruo listened to his words silently, then took out a wishful tassel from the house and handed it to Rong Xiang, "Give it to him for me. I hope it can keep him safe and wishful."
"Sister!" Rong Xiang took the earrings and suddenly hugged Ling Ruo hard, saying sadly: "It would have been better if you had married brother Rong Yuan. He would have treated you well, unlike that fourth elder brother who listened to other people's slanders.
, I hate him so much that he deposed my sister and still ends up in a place like this to suffer without telling me anything!"
Ling Ruo stroked his head and looked at the floating light on the horizon and said slowly: "This is my sister's fate. I am destined to go this way..."
The years are silent and pass away without a sound. From the moment they are born, people in the world begin to grow old in the passing years, and eventually die. In just a few decades, whether you can live a mediocre life and still achieve something, then you have no choice.
Got it.
The forty-seventh year of Kangxi's reign was the second year that Ling Ruo spent in the Western Suburbs Courtyard. It was also this year that the situation in the court changed and many major events happened.
In the first month of the year, the Nanyue Temple was rebuilt and the imperial inscription was made;
In April, Prince Zhu San, a descendant of Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, and his son were captured and executed in the city. The temple in Beizhen was rebuilt and the inscriptions were made.
In June, I stayed in Rehe. "Qing Wenjian" was completed, and the preface was written by my superior;
In July, the "Strategy for Pingding Shuomo" was completed, with a preface;
In September, Kangxi summoned the courtiers to the palace, announced the crime of Crown Prince Yinreng, and ordered him to be detained and sent to Beijing for confinement. After returning to Beijing, he deposed Crown Prince Yinreng and announced it to the world;
In October, the throne was empty, and the ministers petitioned to protect the eighth prince Yinhu as the crown prince. Kangxi convened a meeting of political ministers to discuss the crime of seeking the throne for the eighth prince Yinhu, depriving him of the title of Prince Lian, and imprisoned him together with him.
There are also Yinxiang and several other princes.
In November, the third son of the emperor, Yinzhi, sued the eldest son of the emperor, Yinzhi, to curse the prince and deprive him of the prince's title. The deputy capital censor, Shi Lao, made a petition to protect the prince and seize his official staff. In the same month, Kangxi summoned
The court officials proposed to propose a crown prince.
Ling'a, Orundai, Wang Hongxu and other ministers invited Yinhu, the eighth prince of the emperor, but Kangxi refused and said that Yinhu was born by a humble maid in Xinzhe's library and was not qualified to be crowned crown prince. The deposed prince Yinfeng was released and restored to power.
