Concubine Wuning

Yong Zheng held onto the octagonal lantern with one hand, and led He Qing forward with the other.

He Qing was wearing a fur cloak, even her head and neck were tucked inside.It was too cold at night, with gusts of wind blowing in his ears, He Qing followed around, took advantage of the turn to peek at the tip of the fur collar, and lit a lamp far away.

"Where is fourth master going?"

Yongzheng never wandered around, and according to his status, he only remembered a few important palaces, which were led by servants on weekdays.But He Qing always felt a little scary in this quiet atmosphere.Yongzheng didn't say a word, He Qing hooked his fingers, and walked forward quickly in small steps, "Fourth master can't find his way?"

He Qing's words were full of jokes, Yongzheng lifted the octagonal lantern to his eyes, and took a look at He Qing who was a little panicked, and said softly, "Here."

After Yongzheng said this, He Qing raised his head and realized that the two of them were standing in front of a door.There is a plaque hanging on the door, Nanshan Pavilion.He Qing looked back and forth, but suffered from the darkness of the night, she was very puzzled, "Although the name is elegant and the place is secluded, how did fourth master find this place?"

"You really don't remember." Yongzheng smiled.

He Qing was confused, "Don't remember what?"

The door of Nanshan Pavilion was closed, but Yongzheng pushed it straight and it opened.

Just as the place is secluded, the doorway is also a bit too old, there was a long creak in a low voice, Yongzheng could tell the direction very clearly.After entering the door and walking forward with the lantern, He Qing stood at the door hesitating.After a while, Yongzheng had already turned on the lantern, took out the candles, and lit all the candles in the pavilion.

There are three lamps on the desk in front of Yongzheng alone.

Yongzheng blew out the candle in his hand, put it in the lantern, and dropped it on the corner of the desk.

Nanshan Pavilion is nothing special, even a little too deserted.One is not the residence pointed to by the concubine, and the other is not the lively East and West Six Palaces. It is not surprising that the deserted and simple decoration is not surprising.Although Yongzheng led her to this place, Ji Heqing is sure that Yongzheng should not know this place.Especially when Yongzheng asked her back, why didn't He Qing find a familiar place, he couldn't help but pause in his heart, and muttered softly, "Why don't I remember this place?"

If it was related to her, she should have some impression.Since entering the palace, He Qing, apart from the Hall of Mental Cultivation and the Palace of Zhongcui, and occasional walks and socializing with An, she never even set foot in Elder Brother's House.Yongzheng laughed at Yanyan with a determined look on his face, but made He Qing confused and didn't know why.

He Qing's expression was too entangled, Yongzheng laughed out loud when he saw this, it seemed that all the recent coldness had accumulated to this moment, like the melting snow before the flowers bloom in early spring, comfortable but majestic.He Qing stared blankly at the sight, and just prepared the words in his mouth, but couldn't find the time to say them for a while.

"It's windy outside, close the door quickly." Yongzheng rubbed his jade finger, turned around and sat on the beauty couch.

When He Qing turned around, she saw that the servants had already been standing around outside the pavilion.

Yongzheng unhurriedly put the tea sets on the coffee table one by one, slowly took the bamboo water raisins, and scooped clear water into the teapot.He Qing took a closer look and found it very novel, "Where did Fourth Master get the bamboo tea set?"

The bamboo tea set is emerald green all over, just like the best green bamboo on the soil.The appearance is naturally clean and fresh, without too many patterns and shapes, and it seems to be a bit lonely.It's just that Yongzheng liked it very much, "So the coconut shells I told you can't be counted, but the master looks delicate but useless. If you like it, you will often come here to make tea in the future."

Come here often?

He Qing turned around and looked at the dry things except the desk, tea set, tea table and beauty couch, there was nothing there, not even a few fresh flowers and leaves.Could it be that fourth master felt that the separation of promotion and status was too heavy, and he regretted it?Want her to hear the strings to know the elegant meaning, leave Zhongcui Palace happily, and withdraw from the eyes of everyone?

With her no-nonsense, leisurely and elegant temperament, it can be said that it is the reason.But fourth master is getting impatient, how can he think so well for you and save face?He Qing felt that she was looking at Fourth Master and didn't really annoy her, and she felt complacent, so she suppressed her thoughts secretly.He Qing laughed at herself, nodded, then shook her head, "It's all Siye's wish, so I like it naturally. It's just that Siye hasn't said yet, what is this Nanshan Pavilion, why haven't I seen it before?"

"Why haven't I seen it? Didn't you just come here back then and couldn't find the way back?" Yongzheng raised his eyes and glanced at He Qing casually.The words were light and elegant, with only a playful smile hidden in the corner of his mouth.

He Qing couldn't turn a blind eye, but had to act as if he didn't see it. Instead, he refused to listen to Yongzheng's nonsense and nodded indiscriminately, but his mind was like mud, twisted into a ball of twists and turns.

Yong Zheng stretched out his hand, and slapped He Qing hard on the head, "Return to God."

"Fourth Master, I'm afraid I remembered it wrong." He Qing touched his head and said.

Yongzheng paused for a moment, as if thinking of something, he shook his head, "It's your second year in the palace, the gold awarding day."

The Manchu people count their lives in vain, He Qing thinks that she entered the palace in 29 years, so she pushes back consciously, her face froze.If counting the Golden Festival, she remembered that she knew that she would stay as a slave in the palace for a short time, but she didn't know why she was leaving, and she was panicked.There was some affection in my heart, forced by my status and reputation, and I was afraid that it would be unpleasant to think about my family day and night in the future, so I was secretly happy and uncontrollable to the fourth master.

That day when Aunt Dai saw her in plain clothes, she made up a little.Xiaoluzi came forward to lead her there again, and met the fourth master who was waiting for her.Fourth master said that she was wearing thin clothes, but her restraint was vaguely intimate.Let her warm her hands, and gave her fragrant beads, and asked her to follow her in the name of sobering up. Afterwards, she was sure that she was going to be the fourth master.Thinking about it this time, He Qing thought of everything carefully, and her expression gradually softened.

After all, in order to avoid the imperial examination, Yongzheng changed even the sleeping hall, and the place where the banquet was held was also different.But those back roads and small courtyards are rarely walked around, so it's not surprising that He Qing couldn't remember it, after all, he just walked by occasionally that night, how can he remember it?

Yongzheng was very satisfied, and following He Qing's expression, his face was filled with joy, "I heard later that you scolded me for a long time after you went back?"

"How could it be?" He Qing quickly shook her head, how dare she open her mouth to scold elder brother?

"I scolded in my heart." Yongzheng frowned.

Although it has been a long time, but according to my own temperament, it is certain to curse a few words in my heart.He Qing said affirmatively in her heart, but her eyeballs wandered around, unconsciously feeling a little guilty, "Sacred Patriarch Shengming is extremely strict, how dare you do that."

How dare it is not impossible.Yongzheng slandered, and nodded with a smile, "That's my master thinking about it."

He Qing pursed her lips and curled the corners of her mouth reservedly, and it took a while to recall, "How did Fourth Master find this place?" At the beginning, Yongzheng led the slaves to leave as soon as they said they would, leaving her alone. Send her a ride to find a way out.Since then, no more.Even if you have the heart, you forget how to find it.

Finally asked the point.Yongzheng looked at He Qing with a sigh of relief, his eyes clearly expressing his sigh.

He Qing also felt a little out of tune today, so she just bit the bullet and just didn't know.

Yongzheng was twisting a tea needle in his hand, and looked up at the pavilion carelessly, just like He Qing just now, who seemed not very familiar with this place, "This place was vacant in the early years, and a few days ago I found it and asked someone to clean it up. Although it is a bit deserted, it is also a good place to escape the summer. If you want anything else, ask the servant to arrange it."

"Rescue from the summer heat?" He Qing regained consciousness when he heard these two words.

"You need to take care of the palace. You really can't be in a hurry, and you don't want to show your face in front of the juniors. It's simply spacious, and even the places where you sit are deserted. If you want to change it to a lotus residence, that's fine." Tea The needle was bent in Yongzheng's hand, twisted out of shape.It is especially light to say.

Naturally, He Qing couldn't believe it if he changed to a lotus residence. Firstly, it would be too troublesome to change the world, and it seemed too extravagant;No matter which one, it is all to discredit Yongzheng. Not to mention, it turned out that it was an act of pampering her, and it was easy to add a lot of unswervingness to Yongzheng's heart.

It's just that her heart is satisfied, and He Qing really didn't have to force herself to show a moved expression.Her lips muttered twice, and she finally responded with a smile, "It's not a big deal, but fortunately, there is no layout here. Since it is for resting and enjoying the cool air, then it is enough to open up two beauties' couches."

One each for you and me is the best.

Yongzheng was amused when he heard the words, "The imperial concubine who is in charge of the harem is even more stingy than the master, and even if I give you money, she will not buy more."

"How can you be stingy? The big deal is to make a few curtains and arrange the extra flowers and plants in a refreshing way. Even if the fourth master comes, he will go to the beauty's couch. What's not good? If there is anything missing, just ask someone to add it. "He Qing was very straightforward, and pointed to the desk in the pavilion, "Put that desk inside, or write and read. It's better to be clean."

"Let's tell you, you arrange it yourself. As long as you don't block people at the door in the future, no one will say anything about you."

While the boiling water was bubbling, He Qing picked up the teapot and poured hot water from bottom to top.The tea needle rolled, and the tea water gradually turned green.He Qing picked up the tea water this way, and then made tea seriously.

He Qingpao was engrossed, staring at the tea sets in her hand with a frozen expression.Yongzheng gradually leaned on the seat, tilted his body, propped his forehead with one hand, and said, "You have been hiding tightly these few days."

"Fourth Master is very cold towards people, so it's inevitable that he has some concerns." He Qing smiled and said generously.

Yong Zheng nodded, took the tea bowl from He Qing, and held it in his hand.Slowly, and even more slowly, he opened his lips, "As long as you are in the palace and ensure that the harem is safe, it will naturally be the same as before."
