wake up from dream

When Ziqing came to Chen Xue's place, Chen Xue had already finished her lunch.

"Chen Xue, the emperor has promised you to stay, but he is going to Concubine Hui..." Zi Qing said cautiously.

"Empress Hui? What about you, sister?" Chen Xue asked, she naturally hoped to be with Zi Qing.

"I'm in the Hall of Mental Cultivation... You went to Concubine Hui's place, be well, I think the emperor will send someone to watch you for a while, so don't worry about other things, you know?"

"I see, sister." Chen Xue felt a little depressed when she heard that she and Ziqing were not together.

"Okay, Chen Xue, it's okay, we can still find opportunities to meet in the future, don't be sad. I have one more thing to tell you!" Zi Qing thought it was better to tell Chen Xue about Concubine Hui first, Although Chen Xue didn't have any feelings for those people in Jumao Villa, after all, they still hurt Concubine Hui...

"What's the matter? Why does my sister look like this?" Chen Xue saw Zi Qing frowning, so she asked.

"Concubine Hui died...it was to save the emperor that day..."

Chen Xue was a little shocked at first, but finally calmed down and asked: "Since Concubine Hui has passed away, what does the Emperor want me to do there?"

"Go there and watch. The emperor has blocked the news. No one will know. In the palace, he also asked Concubine Hui to say that Concubine Hui is ill and should not see guests. All visitors will be gone."

"Then what is sister doing in the Hall of Mental Cultivation?" Chen Xue knew that Kangxi treated Ziqing differently, and she could see it from the last time in that yard, but at that time she was a "fat girl" and couldn't reveal herself Identity, did not ask Ziqing.

"Being a servant girl is better than being a servant girl. When you are with Concubine Hui, you have to take good care of yourself. If you have anything to do, come to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to find me. Take the money and make good use of it." Zi Qing took out The silver on my body was given to Chen Xue, because I have been staying in the Mao Mao Villa, and I don’t need any silver at all, so I only have a few dozen taels on my body, but the little maids are still enough to send those little eunuchs.

"Sister, don't worry, Chen Xue won't move those thoughts anymore, I've figured it out, I won't let my parents worry about me..." Seeing Zi Qing's worried eyes, Chen Xue hugged Zi Qing. Ziqing stopped and started to cry. She had never cried before. Even though she was forced to kill someone, she was still very strong and didn't shed a single tear, because she didn't want to see Chen Yunxun's disdainful eyes towards her. After meeting Ziqing, she cried several times...

"Okay, it's good if you figure it out, so that your parents can feel at ease and take good care of yourself..." Ziqing comforted, turned her head and looked out the window, it was getting late, and said: "Okay, Chen Xue , don’t cry, be strong in the future, it’s getting late, and you still have to go to Concubine Hui, you can’t delay any longer..."

"Well, my sister should take care too. If the emperor bullies you, you come to Chen Xue. Chen Xue still has a little kung fu, and you can teach him a lesson."

"Hehe, okay, I see. Actually, you don't have to worry about me, I will take good care of myself." Hearing Chen Xue's words, Zi Qing couldn't help being moved.

Bringing Chenxue to Concubine Hui and giving some instructions, Ziqing followed Liang Jiugong back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Liang Jiugong arranged Ziqing in a room in a side hall of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, which was far away from where Kangxi worked. These days, it's almost "on call."

Liang Jiugong sent a few sets of clothes, which didn't look like those worn by the maids in the palace. Ziqing didn't worry about these problems any more. She took a hot bath beautifully, finished her dinner, and waited for the next day. ...

The next day.

"Girl, it's time to get up." A servant girl softly called Zi Qing from the side.

"En? You are..." Zi Qing opened her hazy eyes and saw the maid in front of her, she was a little puzzled, when did a maid come?

"Girl, this servant is called Bi Zhu, and I will serve you from today on." Bi Zhu picked up Zi Qing's clothes and put them on Zi Qing one by one.

"Bizhu? Did the emperor send you here?"

"It's Liang Anda."

"Liang Jiugong?"

"Yes." Bizhu said, then went to the door and twisted the towel, and handed it to Ziqing, "Girl."

"Thank you."

"Miss, you're being polite, this is what Bizhu should do."

After that, Bizhu brought Ziqing to Kangxi, and Ziqing still bowed to Kangxi in a proper manner. Anyway, she is still in the palace now, so she can't be too rude, too special.

"Get up, you don't need to salute in the future. I said that I have no shortage of people who salute me." When Kangxi saw Ziqing salute, the expression on his face did not change, but he was probably unhappy in his heart. A little anger flashed inside.

"But this is the imperial palace, and there are so many..." Ziqing wanted to say that there were so many court ladies and eunuchs watching, how could she not be polite, but when she looked back, the entire Hall of Mental Cultivation was empty, only herself was left And Kangxi two people.

"Don't worry, I won't push you to the forefront, sit down and eat."

"En." Ziqing sat down generously, this Kangxi really asked her to come and eat and drink with her.

"In a while, you can go back to your own room and tell Bizhu what you want." Kangxi said.

"kindness."

"You are not a maid, don't treat yourself as a maid." Kangxi said again.

"Eh, eh? Your Majesty, but what is my identity? Not a maid? By the way, what kind of clothes are I wearing? It's not a Hanfu, nor a maid..."

"You can't wear Hanfu in the palace, and I said that you are no longer a maid, so can I give you the maid's clothes?"

"Then this is..."

"Princess Gege's regular clothes."

"What? Your Majesty, this... By the way, I used to look like Princess Heshuo, so is it really okay to not wear a mask now?"

From entering the palace until now, Kangxi didn't let Ziqing wear a face mask, but let her face breathe fresh air freely... And the strange thing is, no one was scared by this face?There should be a few screams anyway, right?This is exactly the same face as the dead Princess Heshuo!

"Don't worry, I have sent an order to find a woman who is exactly like Princess Heshuo among the people, named Xia Ziqing. Does this suit you, Qing'er?" Kangxi smiled, staring at Ziqing, letting go Waiting for Ziqing's compliment.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, so that I can be myself." Ziqing secretly rejoiced that after being here for so long, the days when she could live as Xia Ziqing are really few, and now she can finally be herself again... And maybe I can see Rong Ruo in a while, it seems that things are turning for the better, but I don't know how long Kangxi will keep him locked up?

"Well." Kangxi didn't get the expected appreciation, but he continued to eat with a smile, his eyes were full of smiles, this kind of life was what he expected, no respect, no fear, no fear, just such a simple life.

"Your Majesty, for a while, can I take a look around?" Zi Qing looked at Rong Ruo in detail, but she couldn't directly say that Kangxi had asked her to stay in the room just now, and her intention was already obvious, and she didn't want to see Rong Ruo herself for the time being. like.

"En. Let Bizhu take you there, don't go shopping for too long." Kangxi thought for a while before saying slowly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zi Qing is in a good mood, as long as she walks around, she will have a chance to meet Rong Ruo, presumably Rong Ruo should know that she has entered the palace, Kangxi has already said her name...

"Bizhu, let's go to the Royal Garden for a walk!"

"Yes, girl."

"Bizhu, why is this imperial garden so deserted? Doesn't anyone come here on weekdays?" Ziqing wondered, why did she not see anyone except the palace maids and eunuchs along the way?

"Girl, the emperor has ordered that all the masters have to detour when they see the girl, and they are not allowed to say anything to the girl." Bi Zhu said.

"What? Why?" Ziqing didn't know what to say when she heard that it was Kangxi's order. Wouldn't this be making enemies for Ziqing?Once those masters and nobles became jealous or something, it would be easy to harm Ziqing!

"This Bizhu doesn't know." Bizhu shook her head and said.

"The emperor didn't say anything else?"

"No more, girl."

"Well, can I go to Xinzheku to have a look?" Thinking that Bailing might still be in Xinzheku!The last time I was disguised as Moyan, I was recognized by Bailing. Seeing that Bailing still knows her very well, she is really her well-deserved sister.

"Girl, the emperor ordered you not to go to Xinzheku."

"Is there any place I can't go?" Ziqing was a little angry. She thought that she could move freely in the palace, but who knows that she can't go anywhere now.

"The emperor said that if the girl gets angry, she should go to the emperor herself..." Bizhu said this in a low voice, probably because she was afraid in her heart, fearing that Ziqing would find the emperor and anger the emperor, and she would also be implicated.

"Understood, then let's go to the emperor." Since we can't go here and there, we can go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Rong Ruo must be there, and we don't have to wait for the opportunity to meet.

"Yes."

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Kangxi was still discussing political affairs with the ministers, Zi Qing couldn't disturb her, so she had to wait on the sidelines. After waiting for about half an hour, the ministers came out one after another.

"What's the matter? Qing'er." Kangxi called Zi Qing affectionately in front of Rong Ruo, Zi Qing's face turned blue all of a sudden, she looked at Rong Ruo, and told him with her eyes that she was fine, but she was still in Rong Ruo's eyes. Seeing pain in my eyes, I don't want to give up...

"Your Majesty, is this imprisoning Ziqing? Why can't I go anywhere, and let those masters avoid me?"

"I'm protecting you!" Kangxi said.

"How's Bailing?"

"She is no longer in Xinzheku, don't worry."

"Where is she then?"

"I remember that I told her one thing, if you agreed, wouldn't you be able to see her?" Kangxi looked at Ziqing like a victor.

"It's impossible, Your Majesty!" Bai Ling said that she can leave as long as the master wants her, so isn't she leaving now?What kind of concubine do you have to be yourself in this way?

"It's up to you!" Kangxi has no objection, in short, as long as Ziqing is still by her side, he is not afraid that he will not have a chance to persuade her. This is probably the emperor's conceit!
