After Dorgon left, Xiuyu was lying on the bed alone. Tonight, there was no way she could close her eyes and fall asleep like last night. Her mind was filled with all kinds of complications. Sometimes it was her past home, sometimes it was her home. Strange now.

Dorgon, such a legendary ancient man, the regent of the early Qing Dynasty, has become her "husband" now.

With her eyes closed, the darkness buried her, only the dull chirping of cicadas could be heard outside the window.Er Niang often said that she must find a husband who treats her sincerely and prevent her from going her own way.

That's why Er Niang agreed to her engagement with Jin Yuanchong, just because her brother knew the character of her good friend.

Xiuyu could only smile wryly now, there is no need to choose, God has already chosen one of the best 'good husbands' for her.In terms of family background, appearance, and ability, this master is first-class.It's a pity that no matter how nice he is, he is not what she wants.

She had only met Jin Yuanchong a few times, so she didn't feel much in her heart, but she had to admit that he was indeed a good candidate for her husband.Thinking that Fucha Xiuya might be taken advantage of, Xiuyu hoped that little Yuer Fujin would really change her body with her.That unruly and self-willed Fujin, who even made Dorgon feel ashamed, surely wouldn't give Fucha Xiuya a good fruit, right?

Thinking about it this way, Xiuyu's mood actually improved a bit.Just thinking about it, her mood became heavy again involuntarily.

She can pretend to be ignorant in front of Dorgon, but she can't deceive herself.She has read the history of the early Qing Dynasty and knows the fate of some people here.

According to historical records, Dorgon will die young. Yes, this man who was called the emperor's father and regent by Emperor Shunzhi will die young!Not long after his death, he was crushed again!Emperor Shunzhi hated him to the bone!

Xiuyu sighed heavily, that's all, let's take one step at a time, she is still a problem with self-protection now, so where does she get so much energy to take care of the future?Who knows if she will live to that day?

Laughing at herself, she slowly closed her eyes.Xia Chan suddenly stopped outside the window, and there was silence outside the window, just like her lonely heart at the moment.

"Xiuyu, Erniang's little Yu'er, you have to be well, no matter what time it is, you must live well." In her sleep, Xiuyu saw Erniang's kind smile again.

"Er Niang! Er Niang..." Looking at Er Niang who was sewing clothes for her, Xiuyu couldn't help but shed tears from the corners of her eyes. Even in a dream, she couldn't restrain the sorrow in her heart.

Every year on her birthday, Er Niang would sew clothes for her by herself, but now, she can no longer show off in front of her brother in the clothes that Er Niang made by herself as in the past.

"Xiuyu, Erniang is taken care of by her elder brother, so don't worry. After you get married, you have to take care of yourself, so that your brother and Erniang can rest assured!" The handsome man leaned against the pillar of the porch, smiling warmly, Looking at the moon in the sky, he exhorted softly.

"Brother! Brother, Xiuyu is here! Brother!" Why can't my brother hear or see her?why?

"Ah!" With a scream, Xiuyu suddenly opened her eyes.Erniang... Brother... I will never see you again...

"Fu Jin, what happened?" Ji Lan, who was woken up, came in to check.

Xiuyu turned her back and waved lightly: "It's nothing, you can go back and rest." At this moment, she didn't want anyone to see her fragility.

Ji Lan felt a little uneasy, but she didn't dare to disobey her master's words, so she left a lamp for her, and then retreated.

After an unknown amount of time, there was another sound of footsteps.Xiuyu hastily wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said coldly: "Didn't I let you go out?"

Thinking of him as a maid.Dorgon took two steps forward, looking at such a girl, for some reason he felt a little blocked.Although her voice was cold, the exhaustion and sadness in her tone could not escape his ears.At this time, she was sitting with her hands on her knees, her back facing him. Under the dim light, she could only see a bright light on the side of her face, which was... the trace of tears flowing.

"It's me." Dorgon said lightly.

The slender shoulders shrugged slightly at first, but when they heard his voice, they immediately stiffened. Although the movement was slight, he still looked straight at him.Is that why you are afraid of him?Dorgon was a little dissatisfied.Although he was a little harsh towards her at the beginning, he never treated her badly after that, right?

"Master..." The strong nasal voice made people feel soft, and half of the anger just now dissipated.

"Having a nightmare?" Dorgon sat aside, two arms away from her.

"En..." Xiuyu simply buried her head between her knees, she really didn't have the energy to hold up a smiling face to face him at the moment.

"Did you dream about your family?" Dorgon said indifferently.

Xiuyu was stunned, and Fang responded softly: "I dreamed of Erniang and elder brother." The ending was low and lifeless.

Dorgon froze for a moment, the pain in his heart flooded uncontrollably.

Mother... where is his mother?When Er Niang left back then, he and Duoduo were overwhelmed with pain and compared their hearts to each other. She must have been extremely sad when she suffered such a disaster and left her relatives suddenly, right?

Dorgon looked at the girl's thin back, with long hair hanging down her waist, but stubbornly refused to let him see her tears. "You... You can rest assured here." He couldn't help stretching out his hand to caress the three thousand hairs, but thinking of the identities of the two, he finally made a fist and dropped it slowly.

"Since you bear the name of Xiao Yu'er now, you can treat the mansion as your own home." Dorgon couldn't say anything else.Since he didn't want to regard Xiao Yu'er as his wife, he wouldn't treat someone of unknown origin like her as his wife.But... Maybe it's not bad to treat her as a younger sister?

Dorgon has two brothers, but no sister.This girl is clever and quick-witted, and she has a bit of the demeanor of Er Niang back then.Thinking of this, Dorgon suddenly became enlightened.That's right, doesn't she have a brother, and he will be her brother in the future.

"Don't cry, just treat me as your brother in the future."

Xiuyu raised her head openly, and stared at him suspiciously with her watery eyes, which were extraordinarily bright under the light.

"Could it be that you look down on my brother?" Dorgon pretended to be displeased.

"No, it's not..." Xiuyu couldn't even care about the tears in the corners of her eyes, she could only see the smiling man in front of her eyes.His handsome face was a bit cold and hard, his dark eyes were like ink, but the faint smile at the corner of his mouth made his eyebrows a little gentler than usual, just like the summer night wind blowing into his heart.

"That's right, I only have a younger brother, Duoduo, and now I have an extra younger sister, making me a double." Dorgon said jokingly, looking at her with a pair of eyes without blinking, even with a little expectation .

Xiuyu stared at him blankly, his eyes told her that he was not joking.The man who held the power over her life and death told her, how about you be my sister.

Xiuyu felt a little dizzy. In her mind, Aixinjueluo Dorgon, his figure in the history books may not be glorious, but he is definitely not a soft-hearted person.He was decisive, held great power, and controlled the government. Although he had never sat on the throne, even Emperor Shunzhi called him the emperor's father and regent.

But is the man in front of her blinking and comforting her with a gentle tone really that Dorgon?

"Grandpa..." Xiuyu opened her mouth nonchalantly, but she didn't know what to say.

"Okay, I understand what you mean, let's go to bed early." Dorgon felt a little embarrassed seeing her still in a daze.It is indeed a bit unexpected to rashly recognize someone as a younger sister.I don't know if he was afraid of hearing the words of refusal, so he hurriedly got up and left, leaving Xiuyu staring at his back in a daze.

How could he understand what she wanted to say?Wasn't she really dreaming just now?Xiuyu pinched herself, ah, it hurts!

***

"Fu Jin, the palace sent someone here."

Waking up early the next day, Ji Lan was dressing her when Unaxi walked over suddenly and said something that made Xiuyu's heart skip a beat.

Xiuyu raised her face, stroked her slightly haggard cheeks, and said to Ji Lan, "Just be natural." She didn't sleep much at all last night, and she was in a daze all night after he left.

"Go and invite Lord Belle." Xiuyu ordered Unaxi while tidying herself up.Although...Although she didn't quite understand why he said those words last night, she felt more at ease with him by her side.

"Oh, Lord Belle, long time no see, are you okay?" A hearty female voice came from the door, and the tone seemed to be very familiar with Dorgon.

"Su Mo'er, how is your Princess?" followed by Dorgon's anxious voice.

"My family is doing well. Didn't you hear that Fourteen Fujin fell off his horse, so let me come and visit him."

"Thank you Gege for me..." Dorgon's voice slowly dropped, and even though Xiuyu pricked up her ears, she couldn't understand what the two of them said again

Xiuyu was full of doubts, wasn't this the one sent by the palace to visit her, who was injured after falling off the horse?Why are you chatting with that master at the door of her room?

Both Unaxi and Ji Lan belonged to the type of 'don't ask, don't talk', and Xiuyu couldn't casually ask who came. Judging by her posture, it was obvious that Xiaoyuer knew someone.Xiuyu can only pin her hopes on Dorgon, hoping that he can give her some pointers, and let her get over this hurdle.

"Master, why don't you invite someone in?" Xiuyu covered her lips with a handkerchief, her expression was lazy, and at first glance, she seemed a bit arrogant.

Dorgon paused when he heard the voice from the room, and half of his eagerness to ask Su Moer about Yu'er's news dissipated.

"Go in first." He smiled at Su Mo'er, and walked into the room first.Su Mo'er nodded, and walked in after him.

"#%...×#@%&..." Xiuyu hurt her leg and just sat there, sizing up the visitor calmly.The visitor was dressed as a court lady, about 20 years old, and she could tell by her manner and speech that she was favored by the master, and her eyes were particularly flexible.It's just that when she uttered a series of Mongolian words, Xiuyu, who had only learned it for two days, was suddenly dumbfounded!
