wake up from dream

"Knock knock..." There was a knock on the door of the yard early in the morning, and Zi Qing had no choice but to get up to open the door.

"Girl, the emperor asked the servants to serve the girl." A maid who took the lead said to Zi Qing.

"Emperor? What's going on?"

"The servants don't know about this. The servants just follow orders." So they dragged Ziqing into the house.The ladies in the palace held trays of clothes and jewelry, and even flag hats!They swarmed into the room like bees. Before Ziqing could stop them, they sat down in front of the dressing table and picked up Ziqing's hair. The hair was pulled up into a bun, and then the flag hat was wrapped put it on.Immediately afterwards, the maids were about to change Ziqing into the flag outfit they had brought, but Ziqing was naturally not used to this kind of service, so she interrupted.

"What exactly are you going to do? Where is the emperor? I want to see the emperor." Zi Qing broke away from their hands and said by herself standing by the door.

"Girl, this is the emperor's order. After everything is settled, the girl can see the emperor." The maid who took the lead said.

"If I can't see the emperor, I won't change my clothes. Don't try to force me to change. The emperor asked you to serve, not to force me to do something I don't want."

"I knew you wouldn't cooperate well. What? Want to see me?" Kangxi stepped into the room alone, and waved for the maids to go out.

"Your Majesty, what are you doing?" I can't figure it out, those maids just now called "girls", which means that in their eyes, Ziqing is not just as simple as a court lady, but a so-called "girl" "In this palace, Yu Qing and Li are not in compliance with the rules.

"I said, if you don't want to choose, I will help you choose!"

"Choose?" The multiple choice question.

"I also said that if the emperor insists on forcing me, I have only one way to go."

"I won't allow you to have such an opportunity, why do we have to hurt each other like this? Listen to my arrangement, is it so difficult for you?"

"Difficult? It's not a question of whether it's difficult or not, but a question of whether you want it or not. If you force it, you won't be happy. If it's Heshuo Roujia, maybe she will be willing, but I..."

"You are Heshuo Roujia. I said that I don't want to hear those three words again. I have given you enough time, and our daughter is growing up. If she doesn't have a mother, you won't have any Distressed?"

"I won't compromise. If the emperor insists on going his own way, then he can only receive my body. Since the emperor doesn't want me to live well, then the emperor should please come back."

"I want to see how long you can be stubborn? And that Rong Ruozhen will find out who he is sooner or later!"

"Your Majesty doesn't need to investigate. Sooner or later he will know who he is. All this is just my fault and has nothing to do with Rong Ruo..." Before Zi Qinghua finished speaking, Kang Xifu said again: "No matter who he is, you It is impossible to be together, I will never allow it! If you are willing to return to my side, I can no longer pursue this matter." Even if Kangxi no longer pursues it, so what, he will know who Rong Ruo is one day. On the day he knows, can he still say that?

Seeing that Ziqing didn't speak for a while, Kangxi thought that Ziqing's attitude had softened a little, and said, "Would you like it?" There was a little expectation when he asked this question.

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry, Ziqing can only be Ziqing, and she doesn't want to be someone else. As for whether you pursue it or not, maybe one day you let it go, and you won't pursue it. Ziqing only hopes that day will be earlier. Come, so that we don't have to torture and hurt each other like you said..."

=====

"Mother?" Surprised, not long after Kangxi left, Mother Su Mo'er appeared in the yard.

"Come with me." Mammy had no expression on her face, Zi Qing turned around and walked out the door after saying that.

"Mommy, where are we going?" Ziqing followed her for quite a while, and she didn't say where she was going to take Ziqing. The more Ziqing thought about it, the more uncertain she became.

"Follow it." Mammy still didn't have any expression on her face, she just walked forward quickly, yes, quickly passed through the imperial garden, and then quickly detoured one by one.

Finally stopped in a small room and said to Ziqing: "Go in!"

"Mommy, who is inside?" Zi Qing probably already guessed who is inside!Besides the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, who else would allow Mammy to invite an unidentified court lady in person?

"See empress!" When Zi Qing entered the room, she saw not a room full of nuns and eunuchs, but only a woman dressed in homely clothes.

"Get up! Jiaer." It was a very kind tone. Xiao Zhuang would not be ignorant of Ziqing and Kangxi's affairs, but why did she call Ziqing Jiaer?Maybe only she knows the answer!

"Thank you, ma'am." Zi Qing stood in front of Xiao Zhuang, the tension in her heart was self-evident, what a great woman Xiao Zhuang is!Standing in front of her with such a small self, it was like a small fan meeting a big idol...

"You...you really look alike... No wonder Xuan Ye is so unwilling to let go, but he is also a smart person, he must know in his heart that you are not, but... the love of the Aixinjueluo family! Come, come here!" Xiao Zhuang beckoned Zi Qing to come closer.

"Come on, sit down." Xiaozhuang took Ziqing's hand and asked Ziqing to sit down beside him, "You are also a stubborn child, why do you always confront Xuanye head-on? Don't you know that Xuanye has never Will people go against him? Are you really unwilling to be his concubine?" Xiaozhuang said gently.

"My lady, I'm not Princess Heshuo, I just look alike. If I'm not, how can I agree to the emperor? The emperor just can't let go of the knot between Princess Heshuo for a while. Besides, the princess won't be found forever. , if it is found in the future, how can the princess be embarrassed? How can the emperor face it?"

"You can see through all of this, but... the authorities are obsessed... If you don't want to be Xuan Ye's concubine, then you can no longer stay in the palace... If you are willing, then you can't stay..." Xiao Zhuang was a little helpless in his words.It's just that Ziqing listened to Xiaozhuang's words and thought, maybe the day of liberation has come, she knew that this day would come, but she didn't expect it to come so soon!

Ziqing said with a smile: "What do you want to do?" Give medicine?Give Bai Ling?

"Aren't you afraid?" Xiao Zhuang was a little surprised by Zi Qing's reaction. He thought she would beg for mercy, but unexpectedly he was so calm, as if life or death had nothing to do with her...

"Actually, I was still afraid, but, if this is Ziqing's life, Ziqing will also..."

"You won't be a good boy who accepts his fate." Xiaozhuang said with certainty.

"That's right! But how does the empress plan to deal with Ziqing?" Ziqing asked with a slight smile.

"Marry Geng Juzhong." Xiao Zhuang looked at Zi Qing calmly, as if offering advice.

"I...I don't want to." Zi Qing was also afraid of this kind of result, and frowned slightly.

"Life and death? How do you choose? Would you rather die than give yourself a chance to live?"

"Your Majesty means..." Either marry Geng Juzhong or die!

"You should know what I mean. I'm old, and I don't want to take someone's life casually, if you can think about it."

"But I'm not..."

"As long as the emperor says you are, no one will dare to say you are not!" Xiao Zhuang became firm when he said this.Perhaps Ziqing was destined to become Heshuoroujia since she entered this room and met Xiaozhuang...

"Your Majesty, can't you let me go? Do you have to marry?"

"If it were me, I could let you go, but Xuan Ye won't, do you understand? Only if you are willing to marry Geng Juzhong, Xuan Ye will really give up."

"But I'm not a princess, why do I have to bear what she should bear?" Ziqing really doesn't want to drown herself, and if she gets married, will there still be Xia Ziqing in this world?There is only one Heshuo Roujia who is both right and wrong!

"It's just because you have the same face as Jia'er! Maybe this is the debt you didn't settle in your previous life, and it's why you're so entangled in this life..." Xiao Zhuang then fell into his own memories, his eyes only far away. Looking from afar, from afar...

Ziqing is very confused, how to choose?This is her last chance, right?If you choose to die once, then die like this, maybe your soul can return to the 21st century, and you can go home to see your family and friends, but your family and friends will never see you again.Maybe there is nothing left, the body is dead, there is no soul, it just disappears like that...

"Xiao Zhuang came to his senses, if you can't make a decision, then it's up to God to decide. Xiao Zhuang picked up the pen and paper on the table next to him, wrote the words to marry or not to marry on two pages, and crumpled them together , put them together in the palm of your hand, spread them out in front of Ziqing, and said: "Draw lots, let God help you decide. "The encouraging eyes made Ziqing finally raise her hand slowly after paying half the salary, and picked one up. Xiaozhuang signaled her to open it, Ziqing breathed a sigh of relief, and then slowly opened the note, and the note There is only one word lying impressively on the top: "Marry"!

"Look, since we already have the answer to this virtue of good life from the heavens, let's start preparing it!" Xiao Zhuang said with a happy face. "Su Mo'er, send Princess Heshuo back and tell the emperor that it is the order of Ai's family to let Princess Heshuo and Geng Juzhong choose a date to get married."

"But..." Ziqing obviously didn't want to accept this result, but now Xiaozhuang couldn't help but she couldn't say it.

"Live well! My child. As long as you are alive, it is better than anything else, and you will understand later." Xiaozhuang pulled Ziqing to the door and signaled Su Mo'er to send her back.

"Princess, let's go! The master's arrangement is always good, and the princess wants to cherish the blessing." The nanny took Ziqing and left the courtyard, leaving only the servants outside the door and those who stood by the door, Looking at Zi Qing who was walking away, and the note with the word "marry" in her hand...
