"Good and evil will be rewarded in the end. Nian has done so many evil things, and it's time to repay them one by one." Ling Ruo had no sympathy for Nian. When he was outside the palace, he was chased almost to death by her.
There is no way to go to heaven, no door to the earth, and he is still far away. Now Jingxue is accompanying him to travel around. So far, there is no news, and I don't know if his memory has been restored.
"I'm just sorry for the third elder brother. I see that he has grown a lot recently." Guarjia clicked her tongue, but that was all. After all, she and Hong Sheng did not have a deep relationship.
"Everything is fate, and no one can control it at all." Ling Ruojing said quietly, "I haven't played chess with my sister for a long time. I would like to play a game with you."
"Okay, but this time I have to have some luck." Guarjia said with a smile: "How about you bet on the Sichuan brocade that the emperor rewarded you a few days ago. I really liked it when I saw it, but the Ministry of Internal Affairs didn't get it either.
A few horses, it won’t be my turn at all.”
"Sister, just take it if you like. There is no need to gamble." Ling Ruo said and was about to ask the palace servants to go to the warehouse to get the Sichuan brocade, but Guarjia stopped him and said: "What's the point of taking it like this? Just do as I say.
I can do it, but I have agreed beforehand that you are not allowed to deliberately lose to me."
Ling Ruo couldn't resist her, so she had to have the chessboard and chess pieces brought over. They were scattered in black and white, and the small chessboard formed a world of its own, with countless chess pieces fighting among them, competing for the final victory.
The women in the palace are like chess pieces, stepping on the white bones on the chessboard with red walls and blue tiles, trying hard to survive.
At this moment, they are loved by thousands of people. Maybe the next moment, they will be thrown into the cold palace. The beloved concubine and the empress are all unreliable. But even if they know, there will still be many people fighting over their heads. Because... they only have this way.
That night, Yinzhen summoned Wen Ruqing to sleep with him, but his interest was waning. Looking at Wen Ruqing, who was wrapped in a brocade quilt, and her body was naked, Yinzhen suddenly threw his pajamas to her and said, "Put it on and stay with me."
Eat wine."
Wen Ruqing looked at Yinzhen unexpectedly, but she knew enough not to ask any more questions. Instead, like a mermaid, she got out from under the brocade quilt and put her body, which exuded youthfulness in every inch of her skin, into her pajamas.
, because it is Yinzhen’s ruler
inch, so it seemed a bit too big for her, and the sleeves were longer than the back of her hands. When walking, she had to watch her feet carefully, otherwise it would be easy to step on the corners of her pants and fall. Because there was a fire burning in the house, even if
Even with just a single coat on, I felt cold.
Seeing her cautious look, Yinzhen gave a rare smile. After sitting down, Wen Ruqing obediently picked up the wine bottle just brought in by the palace servant and filled the cup in front of Yinzhen.
As soon as she poured it, Yinzhen picked it up and drank it all in one gulp, and then said: "Keep pouring." After pouring three glasses in a row, Wen Ruqing finally couldn't help it anymore and whispered: "Your Majesty, please drink more slowly. It's easier to drink faster."
Harmful to the body."
Yinzhen glanced at her coldly and said without any pretense: "I don't need you to teach me, I'll take care of you."
"No." No one expected that Wen Ruqing would actually reject Yinzhen's offer. She held the wine bottle tightly and said nervously: "If your Majesty continues to drink like this, I won't drink anything."
Yinzhen narrowed his eyes slightly and said coldly: "You are so brave. You don't listen to me. Aren't you afraid that I will punish you?"
Wen Ruqing was trembling a little, but persisted and refused to compromise, "Even if the emperor wants to blame me, I have to say this, the emperor's dragon body is always the most important thing. And... although I am stupid, I still have to say this."
But it can also be seen that the emperor has something on his mind, and drinking like this will only add to his worries and will not help at all."
Yinzhen looked at her indifferently. Just when Wen Ruqing was worried that he would punish her and became nervous, she heard Yinzhen say: "Forget it, put the bottle down, I won't drink anymore."
"Really?" The distrust in Wen Ruqing's words made Yinzhen feel relieved, and he laughed and said: "Would I still lie to you about a little girl? Put it down and be careful of the wine in the pot spilling on you.
"
The smile never stayed on his face, it was fleeting, and he still looked worried, but he really didn't drink anymore, he just played with the empty glass.
"May I have the courage to ask you why the emperor is troubled?" Wen Ruqing asked boldly.
Yinzhen raised his head and sighed. This matter had always been in his heart, and he really needed to find someone to talk to. "Gerdan of Junggar sent someone to propose to me."
"Asking for marriage?" Wen Ruqing repeated in surprise. She knew Junggar, which was the Mongolian Mongolian. Among the three tribes of Monnan, Moxi and Mobei, the Mongolian Mongolian was the most militant.
"Yes, they hope that the Qing Dynasty will marry a princess to Junggar." Yinzhen said solemnly, this happened a few days ago, and the envoy was waiting for his reply.
Wen Ruqing had regained her composure and said: "Which of the eldest daughters will the emperor choose to marry as a princess in a distant place?" Whenever there is a marriage proposal, the royal family will select a eldest daughter from the clan to be a princess and marry him in a distant place. This is already a common practice.
It's a common practice. This kind of marriage is not only to appease the Fanbang tribe, but also to win over them better.
Yinzhen shook his head and said: "Geldan said that it must be my direct daughter, but I only have one daughter, Hanyan, and she happens to be of the right age to get married."
Wen Ruqing was slightly surprised and said: "I once heard from my sister that the emperor is selecting a suitable consort for Princess Hanyan at court. If this is the case, then Princess Hanyan has no other choice but to marry. Is there no other way?"
"If they refuse, Junggar can take this opportunity to launch troops. I even suspect that they did it deliberately. After Huang Ama personally conquered Junggar to quell the rebellion, they seemed calm in the past few decades, but in fact they have been waiting for an opportunity.
.”
Yinzhen sighed again and said: "At this time, Nian Gengyao is quelling the Guo Luoke rebellion. Once Junggar's side mobilizes troops again, the imperial court will be burdened with too much burden, and if it is defeated, the impact will be too great.
Da. But I cannot bear to marry you far away."
It is never known that a princess who marries a foreign land will have a bad ending. Han Yan is the only daughter around Yinzhen, so naturally he feels special pity for her.
Wen Ruqing was silent for a moment and said: "The emperor's fatherly heart is really touching. My concubine and concubine Hui are biological sisters, so naturally they would not leave the princess to marry away. But since the princess is the emperor's daughter, she must have a family.
The preparations for the sacrifice of Guo Sheji. One person is nothing compared to the entire Qing Dynasty."
"You mean to ask Han Yan to get married?" Yinzhen looked at Wen Ruqing with deep eyes, wondering what he was thinking.
Wen Ruqing pursed her lips and said: "Actually, the emperor has already made a decision, so why bother asking me again? The Junggar side is absolutely not allowed to use troops, so a marriage is the only way."
"I'm just afraid that Hui Bin will blame me for being cruel." Yinzhen said sadly, the candlelight drawing a long shadow beside him.
