Jingxue also saw clearly Rong Yuan's appearance at this time. There was a jagged stubble on his chin. His whole body was darker and thinner than before. He was no longer like the gentle and jade-like Imperial Physician Xu before.
It had only been a few days. Jingxue suppressed the reluctance in her heart and said, "I came to see you. Also, don't call me princess again in the future, because Princess Dunke is dead and there is no such person in the world."
After knowing the cause of the matter, Rong Yuan said silently: "Princess, why is this necessary? The emperor and concubine Jing are always the people closest to you."
"But I miss you." Jingxue smiled, her long eyelashes filled with tears, "I don't want to marry anyone else, I just want to be by your side. If you quarry, I will quarry with you; if you practice medicine, I will accompany you."
You practice medicine and be a woman who makes medicine." Seeing Rong Yuan's silence, she added: "I know you have other loves in your heart, so I won't force you, as long as I can stay with you for your convenience, it will be enough."
Such sincerity would make even a hard-hearted person moved by it, not to mention that Jingxue also gave up the status of a princess that was envied by everyone in the world for him. Although many people in the world say that wealth and glory are all in vain, but what is really done is,
How many people can there be?
Jingxue watched him nervously, fearing that he would still reject her thousands of miles away. Now, except for the man in front of her, she had nothing, not even her home!
"It doesn't matter if I don't love you forever?" Rong Yuan suddenly asked.
Jingxue thought about it and said, "If I said it doesn't matter, I would be lying to you. But I chose this path myself. It may not be good if I go on, but I will definitely regret it if I turn back halfway!"
After a long time, a helpless smile appeared on Rong Yuan's face, his eyes were clear and gentle, "Since you have said so, can I still say no?"
"So you agreed?" Jingxue asked in surprise.
Rong Yuan nodded, and for the first time he took the initiative to step forward and stroke Jing Xue's long hair that was spread behind his back: "I, Xu Rongyuan, am so virtuous and capable that I can be so loved by the majestic Princess Heshuo. If I don't know what to do, even God will not see it.
Eyes, send down thunder to strike me."
When Jingxue was dying of Tripterygium vine, he already knew that he didn't have any feelings for this woman, but he just couldn't express his love for her.
It turned out that he was demoted to the quarry, and the two would never interact with each other again. Unexpectedly, Jingxue, who finally survived, was willing to abandon her status as a princess and leave the palace for him. After being moved, she did not want to hurt this woman again.
"Jingxue, I can't promise that I will definitely love you, but I promise that I will try my best to be good to you and not let you suffer any injustice!" He said solemnly, making a lifelong promise to women other than Ling Ruo.
In the distance, Yinzhen and Ling Ruo watched this scene silently. Among them, Ling Ruo felt the deepest feeling. Although he experienced many twists and turns, brother Rong Yuan finally accepted Jing Xue at this moment. If he could let go of himself completely,
That would be perfect.
"Fourth Master, could you please ask the Emperor for a favor and allow Imperial Physician Xu, er, Doctor Xu, to be exempted from this corvee? It is unlikely that Jingxue will accompany Doctor Xu to quarry here." At this moment, Ling
If you are really not used to the new title.
Seeing Jing Xue walking towards him with Rong Yuan, Yinzhen smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, Huang Ama had already issued an order to absolve Dr. Xu of his crime before we came here, and specifically allowed him to return to Tai Hospital.
Take office."
"Are you serious?" Not only Ling Ruo was surprised, but also Rong Yuan and Jing Xue, who also heard what Yinzhen said.
Yinzhen sighed lowly, caressed Jingxue's flawless face, and said warmly: "Although Huang Ama kicked you out of the palace, in fact, the person who feels the saddest in my heart is him. Just after you left the palace, Huang Ama specially sent you to the palace."
I summoned you into the palace and told me to take more care of you and not let you suffer any grievances outside; you will always be Huang Ama’s daughter and my sister.”
"Fourth brother!" After hearing the last word, Jingxue could no longer hold back and threw herself into Yinzhen's arms and sobbed softly. It was only at this moment that she deeply felt Huang Ama's love for her. In contrast,
, I have broken Huang Ama’s heart again and again, which is really an unforgivable crime.
After appeasing Jingxue, Yinzhen took them out of the quarry. The supervisor, who had received the palace's order in advance, would not stop them and let them leave.
In this way, Jingxue settled down in Rongyuan. Although it attracted a lot of talk from her three aunts and six wives, how could Jingxue, who had even passed through the gate of hell, take this worldly view to heart and live her life as she should?
At the beginning of September, Rong Yuanguan resumed his post and continued to serve as imperial physician in the Imperial Hospital.
In the 49th year of Kangxi's reign, the draft was originally held every three years, but because of the "death" of Princess Dunke, Kangxi was depressed, so he changed the draft to be held in the 50th year of Kangxi's reign.
This year, Yilan was fourteen years old.
Ling Ruo had always kept Yilan's affairs in mind, but she had been unable to spare time because of Tong Jia's family and Jingxue's affairs. Now that she had time, she wrote a letter to Lingzhu and his wife, mentioning Yilan in the letter.
Lan's future is either to let nature take its course and enter the palace or be defeated; or should she seek grace for Yilan as soon as possible so that she can get rid of the unknown fate of a beautiful girl and find a good family to marry in a down-to-earth manner.
Ling Zhu and his wife had already seen the impermanence of the fate of a beautiful girl in Ling Ruo. Even though she was still in good times now, they knew all about the hardships behind her, especially those two years in the other hospital, which almost cost her their lives.
Given the precedent, she was naturally reluctant to let her little daughter go to the palace and suffer. She immediately expressed in her reply that she did not want Yilan to be drafted, and only hoped that she could marry a well-matched man and live a safe and happy life.
Seeing that her parents' ideas coincided with her own, Ling Ruo began to look for suitable families for Yilan, and planned to speak to Kangxi after they were selected.
On this day, while the various chrysanthemums planted in the mansion were in full bloom, Ling Ruo invited Yilan to enjoy the chrysanthemums together, and by the way, she picked out a few pots that were blooming and took them back to her elders.
Looking at the chrysanthemums with different shapes and beautiful colors, Yilan liked it very much. She stopped to admire them from time to time. It was almost noon when she returned to Jingsi Residence.
When Shuixiu ordered people to pass the meal around, Ling Ruo pulled Yilan into the inner hall, took a scroll and opened it, then handed it to her and said, "What do you think of this person?"
Yilan took it and took a look, only to see a young man in the painting. After looking at it for a few times, he said strangely: "He looks pretty good, but sister, why are you showing me this for no reason?"
Ling Ruo pursed her lips and smiled and said: "This is Jinke's third prize. She is only twenty years old and has outstanding talent. The most rare thing is that she has not been married yet, so she is a good match for you."
Yilan opened her eyes wide and said, "Sister, maybe you want to propose marriage to me. Don't forget that I am an unselected show girl and cannot get married privately."
"Of course I know this. However, I have discussed with Ama'er Niang and the others that the road to the palace is too difficult, and there are many intrigues among the beautiful girls. It is easy to fall for it if you are not careful. My sister is one of the most
A good example. So I thought before you go to the draft, I would like to ask the emperor for a favor, so that you can avoid the draft and get married on your own."
