In the 28th year of Qianlong, summer.

Feng Suquan went to Beijing to report on his work, and brought his wife Xu back to the capital.

When Feng Suquan and his wife came to Beijing, it happened to coincide with the Qianqiu Festival, which was the Queen's birthday.

The Guerjia family has an imperial order, and they also want to enter the palace to greet the queen.

Thinking that Feng Zhixi will marry Heshen in the future, and that Heshen's future is boundless, it is essential for Feng Zhixi to socialize with the queen, concubine, princess and the wives of Fujin in the palace. Enter the palace in advance to get in touch.

Guerjia was afraid that he would not be able to take care of Feng Zhixi by himself, so he brought Xu with him into the palace, just to take care of each other.

Concubines, princesses, and Fujin wives first kowtow to the queen in Jiaotai Hall, and then go to Kunning Palace to sit and chat with the queen.

The weather is too hot, and the side hall of Kunning Palace has prepared a changing place for the ladies of Fujin.

Mrs. Xu served Mrs. Guarjia to change clothes, and Feng Zhixi was with the princesses and ladies from various families.

There were too many people, and it was really hot in the hall. Seeing that the queen was also going to change clothes, some people scattered out, thinking of sitting under the eaves at the back of Kunning Palace to get some fresh air.

Feng Zhixi did not go with them to the eaves at the back, but went to the small garden next to Kunning Palace.Because it was almost noon now, the sun was very strong, and there was some sunshine in the small garden, so no one went there.

Feng Zhixi walked in for a short distance before finding a shaded place behind the rockery.

There is a large rock protruding from the back of the rockery, and the surface of the stone is still a little flat. You have to deviate from the path and go around to the back of the rockery to come over, so no one will pass by. Feng Zhixi plans to rest here and go to the palace later .

Not long after the little girl came and sat down, she heard footsteps and voices, as if someone was coming from the other side of the small garden.

It's very quiet and shady here, with some breeze blowing, it's quite comfortable to sit here.

The little girl thought, unless someone else came in, she would not give up the land.

But coming in from the outside to enjoy the shade will inevitably step on the moss on the bluestone slab. Maybe some ladies and ladies will leave here because it is too dirty to come here.

But the little girl only came in to have a look before she realized that the backside of the rockery was actually quite clean, but she would step on some moss when she came in.

The people who came were two little maids from the Kunning Palace, they had just gone to the front dining room to fetch enough ice for the masters in the Kunning Palace.

There were too many people in Kunning Palace today, and the ice cubes stored in the palace were not enough, so the maid in charge sent them to the dining room outside to get them.There are not many ice cubes stored in the dining room in the inner palace, and there are still many in the dining room outside, so let them go there.

This summer is very hot, and the ice cubes in the palace are used up very quickly. The little maids ran back and forth several times, and they were a little tired, so the two little palace ladies sneaked to the small garden to hide from their laziness. Take a break and run errands.

The small garden is very sunny here, only the rockery that the little girl chose is still a bit shady, but the two little maids dare not go around behind the rockery, thinking that they have to leave soon, so they just sit down in front of the rockery to rest for a while for a while.

The little maid was still a little young, and felt that there was no one here but the two of them, so she began to whisper, talking about the topics they hadn't finished talking about just now.

One of the little maids said: "I saw Master Xiaohe just now, did you see it? Master Xiaohe followed Master Liu to Qianqing Palace and took a look from afar on the palace road. They are really right, Xiaohe It’s really nice to live with the adults.”

Another little palace lady also sighed: "Yes, I saw it too. No wonder Xiaohe adults are so fond of Long Live Lord. Xiaohe adults have such a good life and are so smart. I heard that this year's rural examination, Xiaohe adults are the best. The popularity of Zhongjieyuan. If Xiaohe adults really Zhongjieyuan, it will be even more powerful!"

The little girl heard them talking about He Shen, so she couldn't help but sat forward, wanting to hear what they had to say later.

The former little palace lady laughed when she heard this: "I heard that the masters of the harem often talked about this. The young lady and the adult are now fourteen, and this age is also the age for getting married. This way the future is boundless and I am blessed by the long live Lord I don't know what kind of marriage will be arranged for the person I love. I heard from the nurse in charge of the Qianqing Palace that Xiaohe is so fond of the Lord Long Live, so he will definitely not ask him to be married outside. You must choose the princess in the palace to match."

Another little palace lady said: "But there is no princess in the palace who is the same age as Mr. Xiaohe. Besides, Princess Shang will not be able to take important positions. Lord Long Live relies so much on Mr. Xiaohe. Now in the Military Aircraft Department, Xiaohe Your lord's favor is unique, how can you let him be the princess?"

The previous little palace lady said: "If you are not a princess, at least you will marry a clan woman. If you marry a clan woman, you can also receive important positions. Long live God likes Xiao He and adults so much, and he will definitely not wrong him. Yeah. I just don’t know which family’s daughter will be given to Mr. Xiaohe. If Princess Shang can still take important positions, I think that Long Live Lord must also want Mr. Xiaohe to be his forehead.”

Another little palace maid smiled and said, "Why are you so worried about the marriage between you and your lord every day? Now the palace is full of discussions, and you have to say it several times a day. Could it be that you also like you and your lord? Are you expecting the master to designate you as his wife in the future?"

The little palace lady from before made a fuss all of a sudden: "You are talking nonsense! Look at me tearing your mouth apart!"

The two of them started to play, and after a while, the two of them walked away laughing and laughing, fearing that the nanny in charge would find them.

Now Feng Zhixi often goes out with the Guerjia family, and when the Xu family returns to Beijing, she will also take her out together, and she herself will also play with good girls.

No matter where you go, you can always hear people talking about Heshen.

Just like when they followed Qianlong on the southern tour before, they would talk about Heshen in front of Feng Zhixi, and they would talk about Heshen behind their backs.

The previous discussion was just that He Shen was smart and good-looking, but in the past two years, she gradually heard more discussions about He Shen's marriage.

He Shen is old enough to be engaged.But his stepmother, Wu Mishi, didn't say a word. Seeing this, He Shen's marriage should be his own decision.

Feng Zhixi didn't know if He Shen had heard these discussions, or if anyone had said them to him face to face, but this was not the first time the little girl herself had heard these discussions.

When she heard this for the first time, her heart fluctuated. In fact, she was also a little confused, but she was never embarrassed to ask Guarjia, and she didn't know how to ask.

Even if she had a good relationship with Heshen, she would not ask Heshen these words.She really didn't know how to ask, even if He Shen had told her, she could tell him directly if she had any ideas.

The little girl was bored in her heart, and had been bored for quite some time.

In the past two years, her relationship with Heshen has become closer and closer. She always has such thoughts in her heart, wanting to get closer to Heshen, wanting to stand by his side, and wanting to share the happiness of the two of them with him. Anger, sorrow and joy.

Her emotions, her mood, are always affected by He Shen, fluctuated by him.

She found that she no longer simply regarded He Shen as her elder brother. Just now, when the two little maids said that Qianlong might dominate He Shen's marriage, and that He Shen might marry a clan woman as his wife, the little girl's My heart ached.

It still hurts a little.

The uncomfortable and dull pain in her heart was very similar to how she felt when she heard those people talking about Heshen in private, saying who and who wanted to marry her daughter to Heshen.

They thought that Feng Zhixi was still a little girl who didn't understand anything, and sometimes she didn't have too much scruples, would say something like this, even make fun of it, and would ask Feng Zhixi about He Shen.

She didn't tell Guarjia about this, let alone Xu, and she wouldn't tell He Shen either. She was just bored in her heart and was unhappy thinking about these words by herself.

After the little girl found out what she wanted, she felt a little confused.

She knew that He Shen treated her well, but she didn't know what kind of feelings were hidden in this kindness.

At the beginning, she simply regarded He Shen as a brother or a playmate. This relationship gradually accumulated and changed later. Didn't change, just getting deeper?

She didn't know, and she didn't know how to ask.

After such feelings sprouted in the little girl's heart, she began to have conflicts, and then she didn't know what to do.

She is older now, and He Shen is also older, it seems that they shouldn't be so close anymore.

In the future, she is going to get married, and He Shen is also going to get married, so she should avoid suspicion.But in the past two years, He Shen has treated her very well and has no intention of alienating her. The little girl thought so, but she was reluctant to take the initiative to alienate He Shen first.

And when she thought that she might be with others in the future, and He Shen would marry someone else as his wife, the little girl felt very uncomfortable.She felt that she could not accept it, and before she knew it, she had engraved He Shen deeply in her heart.

It was originally a heart that would be chaotic when mentioning Heshen, but now the words of these two little maids have entered her ears and also entered her heart, making this little girl more and more troubled, what is wrong with her messy mood? I can't figure it out.

The little girl was confused because of the two little maids' comments, which aroused the hidden pain in her heart for the past two years, but she didn't forget that this was in the palace, and she couldn't mess around, let alone make mistakes.

After sitting on the rock for a while, the little girl got up, and slowly came out from behind the rockery, regained her composure, put a smile on her dazed face, and then slowly walked back to the hall to look for Mrs. Guerjia and Mrs. Xu went.

Mrs. Xu was startled when she saw her under the eaves of the corridor, and hurriedly pulled her over, took the little girl's hand and wiped her hands with a handkerchief.

"Zhier, where have you been? How did you do this?"

Only then did Feng Zhixi feel pain in his hand.

It turned out that she sat behind the rock and listened intently to the words of the two little maids, but she didn't notice that she was pulling the vines on the rock all the time. How troubled her heart was at that time, the tightness of her grip was the same.

There are red marks on the jade-like fingers, and green juice and broken leaves are all over the hands.

Mrs. Xu quickly wiped her clean a little bit, and then went to check her body: "Fortunately, the body is not dirty. Wait for a while, we will leave the palace after kowtow to the empress. We will wash it after we go back. Don't wait a while. Show your hand."
