wake up from dream

"Cough cough...change a pot of water." Kangxi drank the water on the table, probably feeling that the tea was cold, so he said to Ziqing.And Liang Jiugong on the side stared at Ziqing, with the meaning of "hate that iron can't be made into steel".

Ziqing noticed Liang Jiugong's eyes, and immediately removed the tea.

Not long after, Ziqing returned with a pot of tea...

"Rong Ruo, what do you think of the word Zhen?" As soon as Zi Qing entered the door, she saw Kangxi talking with Rong Ruo.Rong Ruo has lost a lot of weight, his complexion is not good, a little pale, and his concentration is obviously not concentrated enough, but Zi Qing can see that he has been holding on and insisting on doing errands.

Ziqing stepped forward, served hot tea, and then stepped aside. Kangxi didn't pay special attention to Ziqing's expression, but the playful eyes had already betrayed him.

"I think the emperor's calligraphy is vigorous and powerful, and it is the best work." Rong Ruo replied.

"Really? Moyan, what do you think?" Ziqing was taken aback by Kangxi's sudden question.

She stepped forward and replied: "If you want to return to the emperor, this servant doesn't know calligraphy, but I think that, judging from the fact that the emperor has been practicing diligently since he was a child, this calligraphy must be good." Ziqing replied politely, here Rong Ruo also noticed this court lady named Moyan, and heard about the court lady Moyan when she first entered the palace today, Rong Ruo also felt very strange at that time, not knowing how this woman could make the emperor look up to .

"Haha... Moyan, are you turning a corner and saying that hard work can make up for one's weakness?" Kangxi didn't seem to want to let Ziqing go.

"I don't dare, I don't mean that." Zi Qing tried her best to look scared and kept her head down. Although she was very angry at the moment, Kangxi actually forced herself to act in front of Rong Ruo?Because Ziqing lowered her head, neither Kangxi nor Rongruo could see her expression.Zi Qing was afraid that Rong Ruo would see her eyes. When she got married, Rong Ruo could recognize Zi Qing from her eyes at a glance. Later Zi Qing heard Rong Ruo talk about it, no matter what Zi Qing changed Face, he could recognize Zi Qing from Zi Qing's eyes, because of Rong Ruo's self-confidence, Zi Qing once asked Ning Runyi for another face, and tested Rong Ruo. He lived up to Ziqing's expectations, and soon recognized Ziqing.

"Your Majesty, I don't think Mo Yan meant it that way. It's just that she was too nervous in front of the Emperor, so her words didn't convey the meaning." Rong Ruo said for this.

"Forget it, since Rong Ruo begged for you, I don't blame you." Kangxi pushed the boat along the way, and continued the conversation.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zi Qing pushed aside, she didn't dare to look up at Rong Ruo, she was afraid that she would reveal her secrets just by looking at her.

"You should thank Rong Ruocai." Kangxi said.

"Yes, guard Xie Nalan." Zi Qing saluted Rong Ruo.

"You're welcome." Rong Ruo said, he looked at Mo Yan in front of him, unable to see what she looked like, and heard from people outside that Mo Yan's face was not worthy of her good name, and Rong Ruo was not a gossip However, seeing Moyan lowering her head all the time, she inevitably felt a little puzzled in her heart, what exactly is it about Moyan that attracts the emperor?Maybe it was rumored by people outside, but from my own point of view, the emperor didn't have anything special about Moyan, on the contrary, he was looking for faults.

Ziqing finished her duties and left Qianqing Palace. At that time, Rong Ruo hadn't left yet, but Ziqing hurriedly left as if she had run away.Ziqing was not in the mood to go back to the dormitory, so she walked around the imperial garden to relax.

Zi Qing thought, since she and Rong Ruo will be on duty in front of Kangxi in the future, there must be many opportunities to meet each other, what should she do to prevent Rong Ruo from discovering herself?But there is a contradiction in her heart, if Rongruo finds herself, then they can recognize each other, but she also thinks that if Rongruo is hurt because of this incident, Ziqing hopes that Rongruo will never recognize herself That's good.

"Cough..." Ziqing heard a serious cough as she was walking, followed the sound, and saw that Xiao Ran's figure made Ziqing's heart ache, and she couldn't help shouting "Rong Ruo" Come.

Next, I saw Rong Ruo's body startled, and then he quickly turned his head to look at Mo Yan in front of him.When he saw Mo Yanli, there was an unconcealable disappointment in his eyes.

Seeing that Rong Ruo turned her head, Zi Qing lowered her head as fast as she could.

"Miss Moyan." Rong Ruo covered her mouth with her hands and coughed a few times.

"Guard Nalan, why are you here?" Ziqing still didn't look directly at Rongruo, but fortunately, there was no habit of looking directly at people when speaking in ancient times, so Ziqing's behavior at the moment is not very strange.

"The emperor asked me to go back to the mansion to rest, where's Miss Moyan?" Rong Ruo looked at Moyan and lowered her head tightly, guessing that maybe this girl Moyan didn't like to see people, so she planned to find an excuse and leave.

"I... I have nothing to do and walk around, so I won't hinder Nalan's guards from returning home." Ziqing saluted. Speaking of which, if Ziqing's rank is lower than her capacity, saluting is also a matter of rules.

"Then Rong Ruo will take a step first." Rong Ruo nodded and walked forward.

Ziqing felt the familiar smell mixed with the wind brought by Rong Ruo passing by, her heart was sour, and she couldn't help but shed tears.

"By the way, Miss Moyan, it's better to think carefully about what you say in front of the emperor in the future..." Rong Ruo who was behind Ziqing suddenly turned around and said to Ziqing.

It stands to reason that Ziqing should turn around at this time to express her gratitude, but because her eyes were full of tears, Ziqing just stood there in a daze, not daring to turn around.

Rong Ruo was a little strange seeing Moyan, so he went back to Moyan, only to see her lowered head, dripping down tears...

"Moyan...are you alright?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm fine, guard Nalan, you'd better go first!" Zi Qing still didn't look up, but just urged Rong Ruo to leave, as if there was something she didn't want Rong Ruo to know...

"Okay, you take this, if you feel better after crying, then cry!" Rong Ruo handed Ziqing a handkerchief, Ziqing hesitated for a while, then took it.Then, Rong Ruo left...

In the end, Zi Qing didn't turn around and said "thank you" to Rong Ruo.

Back in the dormitory, Ziqing lay on the bed and cried loudly. Ziqing was still living alone in a room. This kind of treatment was so good that the other court ladies were jealous, but because it was ordered by Kangxi directly, so other The maid did not dare to say anything.

*****

The next day, early in the morning.

Ziqing went to work in Qianqing Palace, and when Kangxi saw Ziqing, he drove everyone else out.

"What's the matter? Did you cry a lot yesterday?" Kangxi asked, looking at Ziqing's red and swollen eyes.

"Didn't your majesty ask the question knowingly? I think your secret guards will definitely convey to you what happened to me verbatim, won't you?" Zi Qing couldn't see Kangxi's face that was optimistic about the show, anyway, there were no other people around. As a servant, she can say whatever she wants, without having to worry about the rules.

"In my opinion, it's more interesting to be like this. In front of Rong Ruo yesterday, I couldn't get used to your obedient appearance." Kangxi wrote the memorial.

"Could it be that your majesty finds it interesting to see me who doesn't follow you because there are too many people who follow you?" Zi Qing is not polite to Kangxi, anyway, her life is at stake. It's in the hands of others, it's more cost-effective to spend it happily, so I have something to say.

"I said that sometimes you are just a little hedgehog, and you stab my heart unexpectedly. Now I really didn't name you wrong."

"The servant girl really has to thank the emperor for giving her the name."

"Just seeing Rongruo makes you cry like this?" Kangxi stopped talking nonsense with Ziqing, and got to the point.

"The emperor doesn't understand my feelings for Rong Ruo, so naturally he can't understand why I cry like this when I see him."

"Yes, I don't understand, and I never wanted to understand. What I want to understand is you, why can you abandon my feelings for you?"

"The emperor's intentions for the slaves? Forgive me, I don't know what the emperor has in mind for the slaves? Why, doesn't the emperor have a deep hatred for the slaves?"

"Love leads to hatred, do you understand? I hate you because I love you." Kangxi said without stopping the pen in his hand, without raising his head.

"Your Majesty, this servant thinks, the emperor is confused about one thing, this servant is not Princess Heshuo, and this servant is called Moyan."

"The one I love is Moyan..." Kangxi raised his head at this moment, looked at Ziqing and said.

"Heh... what the emperor said... Could it be that he was telling a joke? This servant only remembers that the emperor loves Heshuo Roujia!" Zi Qing would never believe Kangxi's heart anyway. If she said she did, then I only believed that he really loved He Shuo Roujia, but in the end he failed He Shuo Roujia.Besides, in the future, he doesn't know how many women there will be in his harem, so where does "love" come from?

"If I love Jia'er, can't I love you?" Kangxi was a little annoyed, he didn't allow his feelings to be questioned.

"Then why does the emperor love me? Which face? Is that exactly the same face as He Shuo Roujia?"

"If I just loved that face, then I wouldn't live in such pain." Kangxi looked at Ziqing sincerely and said.

"Then I really don't know what is so good about me that I can be praised by the emperor?"

"Do you have to talk like this?" Seeing Ziqing repeatedly contradicting herself, Kangxi became a little anxious.

"Didn't the emperor still say that I talk like this, are you more used to it?"

"I treat you so well, you just...even a little like me, don't you?"

"The emperor treated me like this? How did the emperor treat me? He kept holding me tight, even if I escaped, he still let me leave my husband and children. May I ask the emperor, what do you want me to like you? I don't have self-harm , I don't like the things the emperor has done!" It seems that Zi Qing was completely enraged by Kangxi, so she can say these words so boldly.

"Then you escaped from me, why did you go to Rong Ruo's side? This is a betrayal of me, how can I bear it?"

"Yes, so the emperor wants to separate me from Rong Ruo and the newborn child just because of the phrase 'I can't bear it'?"

"If I am willing to change my past, are you willing to give me a chance? Stay by my side. At that time, when we got along in harmony, wouldn't everyone be happy?" Kangxi recalled what happened when Ziqing was a court lady.

"Your Majesty, at that time, you were happy, but I was still worried. I was afraid that if I did something wrong, it would make you unhappy and make you even more unwilling to let me go..."

"It turned out to be like this... so you thought that way at the time, thanks to the fact that I still miss those days..." Kangxi smiled wryly, and persisted until the end, only to find out that it was all his own wishful thinking. Wouldn't it be embarrassing?
