Brother Six took a few sips of tea, put down the cup, and asked the two Haha Pearls about the details of their family. The two children answered clearly and respectfully.
Although they are all of the same age, they are always afraid of Brother Six - a kind of natural fear and restraint, knowing that their identities are different.
Brother Six doesn't care - he is the master, they are slaves, and these haha beads are here to serve him.
It was certainly a pleasure to be in the company of peers, but he didn't come to his elder brother's place or study to make friends.
Xiao Yoko and Xiao Kezi packed up all the things inside, and when they saw that it was almost done, they checked the information for the last time, then came out and knelt in front of Sixth Brother: "Sixth Brother, the servants are going back to Chengqian Palace now.
Already."
Hongxin stood up from the chair immediately: "Are you going back now?"
Little Yoko heard the reluctance in his little master's voice. He looked up at Brother Six and said warmly: "It's getting late. Besides, Concubine Chen is still waiting. I have to go back and give you a reply."
Xiao Kezi nodded in agreement.
Little Yoko glanced at the sixth elder brother and saw that his face was full of sadness, and he couldn't help but feel sad. After all, the master and servant had been getting along for several years, and this was the first time that the little master had left the Chengqian Palace.
Hong Xin said: "It doesn't matter, you go back first. Next time I will wait for the opportunity and tell Huang Ama to let you come over, and I will follow you to serve you personally."
Little Yoko's eyes immediately lit up: "If this is possible, it is really the slave's creation! I can't bear to leave you, brother!"
Hongxin said: "This is just a trivial matter, and Huang Ama must be right. It's just that you are both a skilled and brave eunuch and an old man who serves. I would rather you stay in the Chengqian Palace, with E Niang and my sister."
around."
Little Yoko was startled - he didn't expect the sixth elder brother to have such thoughts in his heart.
Just listen to Hongxin say: "Go back first, we can discuss it later."
Coming from the mouth of a child over five years old, these words seemed a bit old-fashioned.
A few haha beads stood nearby, almost becoming a human backdrop, listening to the conversation between Brother Six and Little Yoko.
Just now, the sixth elder brother asked them to sit down, but none of them dared to sit down. On the first day when they came to the little master, before leaving, the family members gave them many instructions: being able to serve the sixth elder brother means burning incense.
Yes, that is Concubine Chen’s child. It is Concubine Chen who has been favored by the emperor for so many years.
Looking at the fourth elder brother and the fifth elder brother, now even the direct descendant Fujin is married, but he has not heard any movement from the emperor.
Many people in both the government and the public are thinking about it.
At dinner time in the evening, the young eunuch brought the dining table in - because the two brothers were already married, the first and second houses had their own independent dining rooms, and Kangxi lived in the fourth and fifth houses.
The young prince of the Kangxi Dynasty and the youngest son of the deposed prince of the Kangxi Dynasty did not interact with each other much.
Therefore, it has basically become a convention to have a separate dining room in every house.
The dining room in the third house is not as big as that in Chengqian Palace, but the cook's skills are very good.
As the saying goes, rice tastes better after being cooked in another pot - the dining room in Chengqian Palace is very good, but even the most delicious dishes have made Hongxin a little tired of them after eating them for so many years.
At this time, the taste changed. Hongxin held the rice bowl and ate it deliciously. While eating, he also directed the eunuch serving him to pick this and that.
After he finished eating, several Haha Pearls set up a small table in the hall and started to eat dinner. After eating, the wing room outside was ready for them, so they let the Haha Pearls stay.
Hongxin had already entered the inner room. When he heard the noise, he turned over and asked a young eunuch named Xiao Yuanzi who was waiting nearby: "Aren't they leaving?"
As his name suggests, Xiao Yuanzi has a round and round face, which is very pleasant. He narrowed his two round eyes and explained to him with a smile - it turned out that the emperor meant to let Haha Zhuzi follow.
He will live in the third house for the time being.
Hongxin's face turned into a bitter melon, and she thought to herself: I have never heard of such a rule in my brother's house before. Even Haha Pearl is like a eunuch and has to be on duty in the third house.
Huang Ama lets such a crowd of eyes surround her - is this to urge her to focus on her homework day and night?
A crescent moon gradually rose into the night.
The red walls and yellow tiles of the Forbidden City are all bathed in the gauzy moonlight.
In Chengqian Palace.
On weekdays, it is common for the two siblings to talk and quarrel, and it is common for them to be lively and lively.
At this time, it suddenly became deserted, and the third princess felt very lost.
Although it was already time to sleep, she still put on a pale pink robe and even a pair of flat embroidered shoes. After coming out of Xinan Pavilion, she walked along the outer corridor to the back hall of E Niang.
.
In the Nuan Pavilion in the back hall, Ji Ling has not rested yet. She has just taken off her makeup and done a facial mask. Now she is massaging her face with a warm jade roller. While massaging, she stares at Qilin in the corner in a daze.
Qilin is no longer as lively as he used to be. His movements gradually become lazier when walking. Sometimes he basks in the sun in the yard and can stay in the sun for a long time.
There was a small buffalo leather collar around its neck, which was carefully made for it by Brother Six. It also had tassels and small bells on it, which jingled as it walked.
Ji Ling looked at the collar and thought of Hongxin.
Qixi stood behind her, holding a comb in her hand, and was combing the ends of her master's hair over and over again. Suddenly, she saw her hand massaging movements stop, and her eyes stared at Qilin in a daze.
Qixi knew that her master missed the sixth elder brother, so she comforted him softly: "Master, the sixth elder brother might come back tomorrow. Today is the first day, so he always has to stay one night at Qandong Fifth Residence."
Ji Ling shook his head and said: "Little Yoko is stupid! He usually looks smart, so why is he so stupid today? Since I asked him to send the sixth elder brother, naturally he can stay as long as he can. He is with the sixth elder brother.
If a person refuses to leave, will anyone else drive him back?"
Qixi sighed: "It's my fault that I didn't mention anything to him before." She paused and then said: "But don't worry, Master, the person I'm looking for in my brother's house is naturally very suitable, let Xiaoyangzi follow
After passing by, I went to the study, and the waiters always had to follow me, it was only a matter of time."
Just as Ji Ling was about to speak, she heard the voice of the third princess ringing at the door: "Eniang!"
Ji Ling turned around and saw her daughter standing at the door with her long hair disheveled. She waved and said, "Xi'er, come here."
The third princess came over dejectedly, and Ji Ling stretched out his hand to hold her on his lap.
In fact, the third princess is now quite important, but Ji Ling has been used to holding her like this since she was a child. Even though she is seven years old now, she still lets her ride on his lap.
The third princess reached out and hung Ji Ling's neck: "Mom, I miss my brother."
Ji Ling raised her hand and touched her daughter's hair, and said softly: "Come, sit next to E Niang."
The third princess followed her instructions and stepped off her lap, obediently sitting on the edge of the bed.
