Chapter 10 Close to the world under this bright moon

Chapter 10 This bright moon is close to the world (Part 2)

Sometimes, you may not put him in an important position when they are, but when he leaves, you will know how important he is in your heart. Without him, your life is like missing something, but you don't know what is missing, so you can't make up for it unless he comes back.

"Fourth Master, do you have a nurse?" I asked him, "Or someone who cares a lot?"

He didn't say anything. I continued: "When I first came to the capital, I was afraid of the dark. I always couldn't sleep when I changed my bed. It was all the nurses who accompanied me. At night, I slept inside and she slept outside. I slept shallowly and dreamed a lot. I had to call her several times a night. She was old, but she had to get up to coax me. I had nightmares, and she hummed and coaxed. I sleep. My mother hasn't taken me. I can rely on her care for a long time.

As I spoke, I burst into tears. I took out the purse brought by the thirteenth master when he delivered the letter today. I touched the lotus flowers embroidered on it. "The thirteenth master said that the nurse wanted to see me before she died. Taking the purse I gave her, he kept reading my name and shouting 'Nian'er, Nian'er... "But I can't go back, I can't go back."

"Let some things pass. You can only put up with it before you have the ability," he stood up and said, "You should go back, and don't get too close to Chen Guiren in the future."

How did he know about me and Xiyan? I'm not surprised that he has eyeliner in the palace, but why he knows everything about me, and he came here to find me. Isn't it just a coincidence? Did he also spy on me?

"The fourth master should have a lot to worry about, so don't worry about the evening." After saluteing, I left without him alone.

On the way back, she happened to meet Chuntao. She hurriedly said, "My aunt told you to go back early. You are still here leisurely. Let's go. Wansui and the women both like to eat the snacks you make. The Empress Dowager is happy. Long Live wants to reward you.

I followed her, and she turned around and said urgently, "Hurry up, or you won't get a reward and be scolded."

When Chuntao and I arrived, Kangxi and the Empress Dowager announced the marriage of Qingyu. Everyone was responding, saying that it was a good fate. After Qingyu thanked the Empress Dowager and Kangxi, I went forward to salute.

"Mu Nian, where have you been? Let us wait." The Empress Dowager said.

"Please forgive the Empress Dowager..."

"Please say good to grandma. May grandma live longer than Nanshan. Yinzhen is late. Please forgive me. I specially asked someone to ask for a bunch of Buddha beads from Yunnan. I hope grandma likes it." He came from behind me and handed a string of jade Buddha beads to the empress dowager.

The Empress Dowager smiled happily, "If you like it, or do you know my preference? Sit down quickly."

The Empress Dowager put the Buddha beads in her hand and watched them for a while, and then thought of me, "You also get up. You have done a good job. Will the emperor still want to reward you?"

"Yes, you are so happy. What should I reward you? Tell me about it." Kangxi Road.

I just stood up and knelt down: "Serving the Empress Dowager is the blessing of Mu Nian, and I dare not ask for reward."

"Don't push it. If you want to ask for a good person like Qingyu, now is the opportunity." The Empress Dowager laughed.

I don't know who agreed, "Yes, if it's equivalent to her age, our family is fifteen."

Is the fifteenth brother's mother the favorite concubine? I heard that the concubine is an exquisite woman with eight faces and a powerful woman. I think she is the same person as Brother Feng in the Dream of Red Mansions. I was lucky to meet the Empress Dowager once, but at a glance, she really looks like Deng Jie.

"I'm worried that these 14th didn't marry Zhengfujin." This is the voice of the Empress Defei. Although her status is higher than that of the secret concubine, she will not openly sing against the secret concubine, which is inconsistent with her usual indifferent nature. Doesn't she want to marry me before the fourteenth brother comes? She meant that day to ask Kangxi to marry me and fourteenth?

Why did the secret concubine openly beg for this marriage for the fifteenth brother? I'm a maid. Isn't this lowering her figure?

"Mu Nian, don't ask for anything. If you want a reward, can you allow Mu Nian to go out of the palace? Mu Nian's nanny has gone. She just wants to see Mu Nian, but she can't do it. Mu Nian just wants to worship in front of her grave and thank her for her for so many years of nurturing.

After saying that, I kowtowed my head. I knew that I shouldn't say this on the Empress Dowager's birthday, but I really wanted to worship in front of the nurse's grave so that I could feel at ease. In addition, I can't let Concubine De quarrel with the secret concubine. Concubine De has taken a wrong step in front of everyone because of her maternal love. I can't let anything ruin her image in front of Kangxi. She is weak and relaxed. Who can be sure who Kangxi is facing?

And A Xing, I just want to wait for him to come back now. But I can't offend the secret concubine at this critical time, so I still change the topic.

Everyone was silent, but the empress dowager seemed to be touched and said, "The emperor allowed her. After being here for so many days, I also saw that she was a filial child. Change the method every day to make me happy.

"Since the empress dowager is clear, what else can I say," Kangxi said and told me again, "Thank you to the empress dowager."

I thanked the empress dowager, and the eunuch came in and said that the fireworks prepared by the emperor began, and everyone moved to the yard to watch. The purple and red fireworks bloomed briefly in the black night sky. Like life, there will be no dazzling fireworks in a sunny day.

I stood behind the crowd and looked up and saw fireworks blooming one after another, and even the stars and the moon disappeared. Xing, come back quickly. Let's not get lost in the dark anymore. I just want us to be plain and at ease.

I turned around and saw him standing by the door, looking up at the sky, sparking in his black pupils. He will be the king in the future. In history books, he will be the murderer of the 14th brother's imprisonment for the rest of his life. If so, should I do anything to help A Xing?

He seemed to notice my eyes and looked at me, and I couldn't move my eyes staring at him. It was a pair of deep eyes, resolute, determined and cold eyes. It was originally a pair of king's eyes, like an eagle flying in the sky.

If I had known that my exploratory eyes would make him so misunderstood, I wouldn't have looked at him like that, just because my eyes have been given to A Xing in this life, and I can no longer distinguish it.

Because Qingyu fell ill the next day, she had a fever and coughed for days. The Empress Dowager ordered me to take care of her. Qingyu's life was miserable. In her early years, she lost her mother in the palace, so she didn't even have her own maid. I stayed by the bedside for three days before she recovered. A few days later, she could come out to bask in the sun, and the empress dowager gave me a token to let me out of the palace.

When I went to worship the nurse, grass grew on her grave. It was the beginning of autumn. I didn't expect that the weed would grow so fast, but the grass was ruthless.

I brought Mother's favorite braised pork. Everyone has their own lives. Although the nurse likes to eat braised pork, she can't eat it once or twice a year. Just because she is a subordinate, the empress dowager can't eat big fish and meat every day. However, the empress dowager also has her bitterness. It can't be said that when she was young, her husband spoiled Dong Efei and didn't care about her. Even in her lonely old age without children, no one was true. I really know.

I returned to the thirteenth master's house. Dongxiang prepared a lot of food for me. My aunt pulled me left and right and said that I was thin and asked Dongxiang to prepare dinner. I wanted to go back earlier, but after all, the rain was still sick. But I also thought about my aunt very much, so I followed her and went back to the palace after dinner.

"Mu Nian, you are also fifteen years old. Last time I was sick and didn't go to the palace to celebrate my birthday. I heard that the Empress Dowager wanted to marry you?" My aunt said as she poured water for me, and I ignored her.

She continued: "You are not young. Besides, the palace is not a good place to stay. It would be good if you could get married. Everyone in the palace said that the empress dowager spoils you now, and the long live master also praises you. At this time, not many children in the palace want to marry you. Don't trust it.

I figured out the intention of the secret concubine that day. I thought that my son would marry me to please the Empress Dowager and please Kangxi? What have I become? What am I? She valued it that much.

"Auntie, don't you know what they are thinking? Can I promise?" I put down my snacks and drank tea, and my appetite was gone.

"I know, I know, it's just that the fourteenth brother, you and he are always in love. Didn't you pass the letter with him when you didn't enter the palace, but somehow there was no news later, and it's hard for me to ask. The Empress Defei recently told me that when the fourteenth brother came back this winter, she wanted to ask him to marry him. The master didn't answer, saying that we are not the elders of the direct relatives, and your parents are not around, so we still ask for your own opinions.

"A Xing, no, will the fourteenth brother come back this winter?" Hearing that he was coming back, my heart beat wildly. I was not only happy, but also how could I face him? What should I say when I see him?

"Look at your lost appearance and know your answer," my aunt said. "It's also what I want to see if you marry someone you want, but I can't say this royal matter accurately. I miss you. Don't think too much when it's time to catch it."

Yes, I won't be so stupid this time. Even if I'm hurt, I've at least been brave.

It's almost dark when I come out of the thirteenth master's house. I want the driver to bypass the alley and get to the palace gate quickly, otherwise I'm afraid it will be late.

Not long after I left, I heard the sound of fighting, and the driver stopped the carriage. I looked forward. Several masked people were besieging a man, who was not leaving behind.

It's getting late. I can't see what the man looks like. I only asked the driver to call someone quickly. The driver left, but shocked several masked people. A man came to me, and I saw that the besieged man was the fourth master, so I unlocked the lock of the carriage and rode on the horse towards them.

The alley was narrow, and the horse ran over and they dispersed. I wanted to pull the fourth master on the horse, but I had never ridden a horse, so I fell off the horse. The horse was frightened and ran away, and those people gathered around with knives. The fourth master wanted to defend and take care of me, and soon he was at a lower end. Pulling me back while fighting, I was silent for fear of distracting him.

There must be some courage to attack a prince in this imperial city. Maybe he is his good brother, but they are not brothers in the battle for the throne.

This won't work. It's impossible for him to beat them by pulling me. If I save him this time, he will owe me a life. Maybe this favor can help A Xing in the future. It's just that there is no way to save him now, and I don't know martial arts.

This is a man's knife rushing straight at him. He had no time to resist the person on the left, so I blocked it. The man's knife went straight into my left shoulder, and the pain made me sit on the ground.

The fourth master called me, and the man pulled out his knife and stabbed it again. The fourth master stabbed the man's heart and cut a person again. Then the officers and soldiers came over, and the remaining two escaped depending on the situation.

"Mu Nian," the fourth master ran over and hugged me and said to the officers and soldiers, "Cue me. I didn't kill them. I want your lives."

This cold-faced king of death, fortunately, he didn't leave me alone just now.

"Mu Nian, how are you?"

"It hurts." I don't feel anything now, just a word of pain. Why am I so stupid? I don't think about anything with a sword. Can I joke with my body?

He picked me up and didn't know where to go. He ordered someone to call the doctor while calling me not to close my eyes. I remembered the first day I came to the Qing Dynasty. He pulled me out of the water and called me and patted my face. What kind of fate is this?

He took me into a yard. I felt in a daze that the yard seemed to be familiar, but I don't remember when I had seen it, but the bright moon in the sky was just like that night.
