Four Lords dote on his wife daily
Chapter 74
Ming Xi and Fourth Master were not in a hurry to hunt, they rode horses and walked leisurely through the forest, enjoying the surrounding scenery by the way.
There are many wild flowers growing in the forest on the west side of the paddock. Although they are not as exquisite and expensive as the flowers in the imperial garden, they have a different charm.
Mingxi saw that there were many platycodon flowers growing in the grass in the forest, some were blue, some were purple, some were pink, they were very beautiful.
Looking at the platycodon flower in the grass, Ming Xi suddenly thought of its flower language, and looked thoughtful.
Seeing Mingxi staring at the wild flowers in the grass, Fourth Master asked a little puzzled, "What are you looking at?"
Ming Xi turned her head and looked at Fourth Master with burning eyes.
Seeing Mingxi looking at him with shining eyes, fourth master couldn't help but smile.
"Look at me like that, do you have anything to ask me?" Every time this girl looked at him with sparkling eyes, she would ask him for something.
Ming Xi smiled slightly at Fourth Master, and pointed to the bellflower in the grass: "Master, I want bellflower flowers."
Hearing this, Fourth Master was slightly taken aback, and then asked with a broken smile: "Do you want me to pick it for you?"
Ming Xi nodded again and again, said with crooked eyebrows and eyes: "Yes, the Lord will send me off."
"If you want flowers, I'll go back and send them to you." Fourth Master glanced at the platycodon flowers in the grass, and said with some disgust, "This flower is not pretty."
"Grandpa, I want platycodon flower." The flower language of platycodon flower is eternal love, love without regrets and hopelessness.
"Don't you like roses?"
"But there are no roses here, only bellflower flowers." Ming Xi looked at Fourth Master expectantly, and said coquettishly, "Master, I want bellflower flowers."
Fourth Master has always had no resistance to Mingxi's coquettishness, hearing her softly say that she wants platycodon flowers, my heart softens.
"You..." Fourth Master had a look of helplessness on his face, but his tone was full of pampering and indulgence.
Ming Xi saw Fourth Master jumping off the horse, walked to the edge of the grass, and reached out to pick bellflower flowers.His actions were very serious, and he didn't pick a few flowers casually perfunctorily, as if he was doing a very important thing.
Seeing Si Ye like this, Ming Xi only felt that a heart was soaked in warm honey water, warm and sweet.
Fourth master picked eleven platycodon flowers.The last time Mingxi sent him a bouquet of flowers in Zhuangzi, exactly eleven flowers, she told Si Ye that eleven flowers represented a lifetime.
When he first picked bellflowers, fourth master didn't want to pick a few flowers, but it suddenly popped into his mind that Ming Xi said that eleven flowers represent a lifetime, so he picked eleven flowers.
Picked three blue bellflowers, three purple bellflowers, and five pink bellflowers.Fourth Master gently tied eleven platycodon flowers together with a towel to make a bouquet.
Fourth Master walked to Mingxi's side, raised his head slightly and looked at Mingxi who was sitting on the horseback.Ming Xi was facing the sun with his back, and his whole body was shrouded in dazzling light, like a fairy descending from the sky, which made Fourth Master lose his mind.
Seeing that Fourth Master looked at her without speaking, Ming Xi leaned down slightly and called out softly: "Master?"
Fourth master came back to his senses, raised a bunch of platycodon flowers in his hand: "Take it."
Mingxi looked at the platycodon flowers in fourth master's hand, counted them in her heart, there were eleven flowers in total, with the corners of her mouth raised slightly, she stretched out her hands to take the flowers in fourth master's hand, lowered her head and smelled them gently, and a smile appeared on her face Out of a touch of intoxicating smile.
In an instant, Fourth Master only felt that the world was pale, and there was no sound around him. In his eyes, mind, and heart, there was only Ming Xi's smile when he lowered his head.
Ming Xi raised her head and smiled brightly at Fourth Master, and said sweetly: "Thank you, Master!" Unexpectedly, Fourth Master would pick eleven platycodon flowers for her, which really surprised her.
The fourth master was flustered by the bright smile on Mingxi's face, and stared blankly at Mingxi who was sitting on the horseback for a while.
Ming Xi suddenly let the horse take two steps, then bent down, lowered her head and kissed Fourth Master's lips.
The soft touch on his lips woke up fourth master, and his eyes widened involuntarily.By the time he reacted, Ming Xi had already sat on the horse again, looking at him with a smile on her face.
"Master, I didn't expect you to give me eleven bellflowers."
Fourth Master walked up to his horse, turned over handsomely, sat neatly on the horse's back, and led the horse close to Ming Xi's side.
"That's right, I didn't count." Fourth Master naturally wouldn't admit that he picked eleven flowers on purpose.
Ming Xi heard fourth master say this, and smiled sweetly at him: "Master just counted eleven flowers, really..." Ming Xi paused on purpose.
"Really what?"
Ming Xi winked ambiguously at Fourth Master: "Eleven flowers represent a lifetime, so it can be seen that Master also wants to spend his whole life with me."
Hearing what Mingxi said, fourth master's expression became a little uncomfortable, he turned his head and said, "I just picked eleven flowers by chance."
Seeing Fourth Master's duplicity, Ming Xi felt sweet in his heart, sweeter than eating a piece of candy.
"Grandpa, I like it very much, thank you!"
Hearing these words, fourth master turned his head to look at Mingxi, seeing Mingxi's joyful smile, his expression softened unconsciously.
"Master, do you know what the flower language of platycodon flower is?" Ming Xi asked suddenly.
Fourth Master was taken aback by the question, his face full of confusion: "Flower language?"
"Master, every kind of flower has its meaning. For example, peony, its flower language is wealth, passion, and perfection. The flower language of plum blossom is strength and elegance."
"I know this."
"Then do you know the flower language of platycodon flower?"
Fourth Master shook his head lightly: "I don't know."
"The flower language of platycodon flower is..." Ming Xi originally wanted to tell Fourth Master, but suddenly changed her mind, and smiled meaningfully at Fourth Master, "It's better not to tell Master."
"why did not you tell me?"
"There's no point in telling me." Ming Xi winked playfully at Fourth Master, "If you want to know, you can check it yourself."
"You girl..." She didn't say anything in the middle of her speech, wasn't she trying to whet people's appetite.
"It doesn't make any sense if I tell you, so I'd better find out by myself." After Ming Xi finished speaking, she gently clamped the stomach of the horse.The tall white horse raised its hooves and started to run slowly.
"Master, it's getting late, it's time for us to hunt."
Fourth master couldn't help but laugh, and followed on horseback.
Next, Ming Xi and Fourth Master started a hunting competition.
Suddenly a white fox appeared in their line of sight, Ming Xi and Fourth Master picked up their bows and arrows at the same time.It's a pity that Ming Xi was one step too late for Fourth Master, and Fourth Master's arrow hit the white fox's neck first.
"This white fox is mine." Fourth Master smiled at Mingxi, a little provocatively.
Ming Xi said angrily: "Don't be too happy, I will definitely be faster than you in the future!"
Fourth master smiled and said, "I'll wait."
Next, a fat and big gray rabbit appeared in the sight of the two of them.Ming Xi moved faster than Fourth Master this time, and shot the rabbit first.
"Well, let me say that I will be faster than you."
"Not bad." This girl's riding and shooting is really not bad.
However, it seemed that Mingxi's good luck ended with the rabbit, and she didn't shoot any prey after that, which made her very depressed.
"Is this your level?"
Ming Xi glared at Fourth Master angrily, and said stiffly: "My level is not like this, it's just that I haven't hunted for a long time, and my level has dropped." It's too embarrassing, she hasn't hunted a single fox until now. Come on, how do you go back to see the emperor's grandmother?
"Admit defeat?"
"Don't admit defeat." She didn't believe in evil, so she still missed one shot next time.
"Then go on."
The two continued to walk deep into the forest and saw a deer in front of them.
Ming Xi's eyes suddenly became bright, and she quickly took out the arrow and prepared to shoot.In the end, she was still one step too late. As soon as she put the arrow on the bow, fourth master's arrow had already flown towards the deer in front.
With a bang, the deer in front let out a scream, and then fell to the ground.
Ming Xi and Fourth Master walked over and saw that the deer was hit by two arrows.One of Si Ye's arrows was planted in the deer's neck, and the other arrow was shot in the deer's abdomen.
"Whose arrow is this?" Her arrow didn't shoot out, so it wasn't his.
Fourth master jumped off the horse, walked to the side of the fallen deer, and took a look at the arrow that had been shot in the deer's belly.Seeing the tail of the arrow, fourth master knew who shot it.
Just when Fourth Master was about to say who it was, a slightly surprised voice suddenly sounded: "Fourth Brother?"
Ming Xi and Fourth Master followed the sound and saw His Royal Highness riding a horse from the forest on their right.
"I have met His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness is auspicious!" Ming Xi and Fourth Master hurriedly saluted.
"Get up." His Highness the Crown Prince jumped off the horse, glanced casually at Ming Xi who was beside Fourth Master, seeing Ming Xi's heroic attire, His Highness the Crown Prince's eyes flashed with astonishment.
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness!"
"Fourth brother, how many times have I told you to call Gu Erge directly."
"The gift cannot be neglected."
"It's not going to court now, so don't call him His Royal Highness Gu Prince, just call him Second Brother Gu."
The fourth master called out kindly: "Second brother!"
Only then did His Royal Highness smile with satisfaction: "That's right, but why are you here, fourth brother?"
The fourth master didn't know how to answer the prince's question for a while, he couldn't tell the prince that he deliberately brought his side Fujin to hunt in a place with few people.
His Royal Highness looked at Ming Xi who was beside Fourth Master, and smiled deeply: "It seems that Fourth Brother brought his side Fujin here on purpose."
Hearing what His Royal Highness said, Fourth Master looked a little embarrassed, blushed slightly and changed the subject and asked, "Why did Second Brother come here?" Shouldn't His Royal Highness be hunting in the main paddock like everyone else, why did he come here? Come from a slightly remote forest.
"I just walked around casually, I didn't expect to meet you here."
Ming Xi, who had been standing behind Fourth Master, always felt that there was a staring stare at her that seemed invisible.When she quietly raised her eyes and looked over, it was gone again.
"Why didn't your side Fujin serve the emperor's grandmother?" The fourth brother was really interested, and brought the beautiful side Fujin to a remote forest, where no one disturbed him, and he could do whatever he wanted.
"The imperial grandmother asked her to hunt with her younger brother."
"So that's the case." His Royal Highness said with a smile, "You don't mind being alone with you, do you?"
Hearing this, the fourth master looked at the prince in surprise: "Second brother, this place is a bit remote, it will be dangerous for you to stay here, I'd better go back with you, brother."
His Highness the Crown Prince waved his hand: "Don't go back, there are too many people there, it's too noisy." As if thinking of something bad, His Highness the Crown Prince frowned slightly and said, "Brother is there, if you go back alone, you will inevitably be pulled by him again." Let's try it out."
"But here..."
"Gu didn't come alone." There were more than a dozen guards behind His Royal Highness, who were obviously here to protect him.
Seeing this, the fourth master couldn't say anything more: "If the second brother doesn't dislike it, my younger brother will be with you."
"Speaking of which, Gu hasn't hunted with the fourth brother yet, let's take this opportunity to compete."
"My younger brother's riding and archery skills are not as good as the second brother's. Competing with the second brother will only ruin the second brother's interest." In fact, the fourth master's riding and shooting skills are not inferior to His Royal Highness, but His Royal Highness is His Royal Highness, so he has been hiding his clumsiness.Of all the elder brothers, only the eldest elder brother dared to confront His Highness the Crown Prince, and the others all hid their clumsiness in front of His Highness the Crown Prince.
"Fourth brother, it doesn't make sense for you to say that."
"If the second brother doesn't dislike it, I will compete with you."
His Royal Highness patted the fourth master on the shoulder, said with a smile: "Cheer up!" After speaking, he looked at Ming Xi, "Do you want to join the competition between the orphan and the fourth brother?" A strange emotion surged up.
"Second brother, she's not good at riding and shooting, so she won't join us."
"In this case, forget it." His Royal Highness did not force it.
Fourth Master turned around and told Ming Xi, "You go back to serve the imperial grandmother first."
"Yes, Lord Belle!"
"Wait, why do you ask the fourth sister-in-law to leave?"
"Second brother, she will only get in the way if she stays here."
"Fourth brother, it's not right for you to say that." His Royal Highness said disapprovingly, "Let the fourth sister-in-law stay and be a witness for us."
"Second brother, she can't keep up with us, let her go back to serve the imperial grandmother."
"You told her to go back, I feel sorry for Gu, after all, Gu disturbed you." His Royal Highness said.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said so much, Fourth Master can't tell Ming Xi to go back first, so he can only let Ming Xi follow them.
Ming Xi followed Fourth Master and the others, because she was afraid of affecting them, she kept a distance from them.
Seeing the competition between the fourth master and His Royal Highness, Ming Xi really wanted to cheer for the fourth master loudly, but he could only cheer for the fourth master in his heart.
At first, Fourth Master and His Royal Highness were on equal footing, but after a while, Fourth Master was obviously inferior to His Royal Highness.
Seeing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince shot a red fox, Ming Xi was very envious. The fur of this red fox is very beautiful. If it is given to the imperial grandmother as a scarf or cloak, it must be very beautiful.
Just when Ming Xi thought that this competition would last until the end of today's hunting, unexpectedly, it ended early because the elder brother hunted a black bear.
When His Royal Highness heard that Elder Brother had shot a black bear, his face immediately turned dark, and his complexion was very ugly.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince originally wanted to take this opportunity to observe Ming Xi carefully, but he could no longer sit still when he heard that Eldest Brother had shot a black bear.
"Fourth brother, Gu won't bother you and fourth sister-in-law, let's go first." The elder brother shot a black bear, if he didn't hunt a black bear, he didn't know how he would be ridiculed by the elder brother.
"Second brother, walk slowly."
After the mighty group of His Royal Highness left, Ming Xi breathed a sigh of relief.Her Royal Highness is here, she feels very uncomfortable, especially she always feels that His Royal Highness is looking at her from time to time.At first, she thought it was her own illusion, but she secretly noticed that His Royal Highness really looked at her from time to time.Although it was hidden very deeply, she felt that His Royal Highness looked at her with a trace of wretchedness.
"Finally gone."
Hearing what Ming Xi said, Fourth Master laughed helplessly: "There are no rules, how do you talk?"
Ming Xi shut her mouth obediently, and looked at Fourth Master pitifully.
The fourth master was softened by Mingxi's look, "Okay, the prince is gone, you don't have to feel uncomfortable." The fourth master also knew that the prince was on the side, and Mingxi would feel restrained and uncomfortable.
"Master, let's go back." She was in no mood to continue hunting now.
"Don't want to hunt anymore?"
"I'm not interested." She always felt that His Highness the Prince's hunting in such a remote forest was not accidental.
Fourth master was not interested in being disturbed by His Highness the Crown Prince.In addition, the elder brother hunted a black bear, so he had to go and have a look, otherwise His Royal Highness and the elder brother would quarrel again.
"Then go back."
"Master..." Ming Xi opened her mouth, looking at Fourth Master hesitantly.
"What's wrong?" Fourth Master asked with concern.
Ming Xi looked at Fourth Master, hesitating in his heart whether to tell Fourth Master that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince saw her.If she told fourth master, it would be a question of whether fourth master would believe it.However, if she didn't tell fourth master, she would be very disturbed.
Seeing Ming Xi's hesitation, Fourth Master stopped his horse and looked at her with concern: "What's the matter, is there something wrong?"
Ming Xi struggled in her heart, and decided to speak out: "Master, when the Crown Prince comes down..." Halfway through speaking, Ming Xi hesitated again.
"What's the matter, Your Highness?"
After thinking about it, Ming Xi decided not to talk about it. If she told Fourth Master about this, maybe Fourth Master would not believe it, and would think that she was trying to stir up the brotherhood between him and His Highness the Crown Prince.
"It's nothing." In the Qing palace dramas I watched in my previous life, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Kangxi was very attractive, but now it's not a Qing palace drama, maybe she was thinking too much, and it's better to stay away when seeing His Royal Highness in the future.
"Xi'er, tell me what the hell is going on?" Seeing Ming Xi's worried expression, the fourth master couldn't have nothing.It's just that she seems to be worried about something and dare not tell him. "Just say what you have to say, and I won't blame you."
Seeing the concern and worry in Fourth Master's eyes, Ming Xi was very moved. After thinking about it, she decided to tell Fourth Master.If you don't tell fourth master, this matter will be a thorn in her heart.
"Master, the crown prince has been watching me quietly when he came down. At first I thought it was my illusion, but then I noticed it secretly, and found that it was not an illusion. His highness the crown prince has been watching me."
After listening to Ming Xi's words, fourth master's face instantly became gloomy, and his eyes were cold.
It was the first time Ming Xi saw Fourth Master's expression so cold, she couldn't help being frightened, and regretted telling Fourth Master about it.
Seeing Mingxi's uneasy expression, fourth master knew that he had frightened her, and a flash of pity flashed in his eyes.
"Xi'er, are you sure?"
When Ming Xi heard that Fourth Master spoke so gently to her, the hearts that were tightly held together just now were slightly relieved.
"I'm sure it's not my illusion, and it's not that I think too much." His Royal Highness looked at her, which made her very uncomfortable.
Fourth Master looked at Ming Xi's beautiful face, and then thought of the rumors he had heard before, his face became gloomy like water.
"You don't have to worry, I will take care of this matter. When you go back later, you will be by the imperial grandmother's side and don't go anywhere."
Hearing what Si Ye said, Ming Xi was completely relieved, Si Ye believed her words!
"Master, His Highness the Crown Prince will go to pay his respects to the Imperial Grandmother." The way His Highness the Crown Prince looked at her made her very frightened and uneasy.If it was someone else, she wouldn't care too much, but His Royal Highness is not an ordinary person.
"You go to my tent, I will tell the imperial grandmother that you are not feeling well, and it is not convenient to serve her old man." The fourth master is now trying to find a way to make His Royal Highness never see Ming Xi again. "The day after tomorrow, you will go back to the mansion directly with me, and don't go to the palace for now."
"Grandmother's side..."
"I'll tell the emperor's grandmother." The fourth master thought for a while, but he still felt uneasy, "I'll ask Su Peisheng to take you back tomorrow morning." It's getting late now, if you go back, you have to walk at night, which might be dangerous .
Ming Xi nodded obediently: "Okay." She didn't want to stay here anymore, she always felt unsafe.
"I shouldn't have brought you to the autumn hunt." It was dangerous to be targeted by His Royal Highness, and the fourth master regretted letting Mingxi come to participate in the autumn hunt.
Ming Xi deliberately said in a joking tone: "Ah... who told me to be so beautiful!"
Hearing this, Fourth Master gave Ming Xi a hard look.
Ming Xi suddenly smiled gratefully at Fourth Master: "Master, thank you for trusting me!" Ming Xi was very moved by Fourth Master's trust.
"Stupid girl..." Fourth Master felt a little distressed.
"Master, what if His Royal Highness...then then?"
Ming Xi's words were intermittent and very vague, but Fourth Master still understood.
"If he really dares to do this, I'll tell Huang Ama." If His Royal Highness wants to get Ming Xi by all means, Fourth Master has no good solution.Telling Kangxi is actually a bad idea.Kangxi might not keep Mingxi alive in this world in order to protect the reputation of His Highness the Crown Prince.Even if Mingxi is favored by the queen mother, the queen mother will not protect her when the time comes.In the queen mother's heart, Mingxi is no more important than the prince.
It's not a solution, it's that the fourth master quietly hides Mingxi, so that His Royal Highness can't find it or get it.
"Master, I'm afraid His Royal Highness will make things difficult for you."
Fourth Master was slightly taken aback, and then gave Mingxi a comforting smile: "No."
Seeing that Fourth Master said so firmly, Ming Xi asked curiously, "Why not?"
"Because he needs my support!" Even though His Royal Highness the crown prince has been named the crown prince since he was a child, his position as crown prince is not impregnable.Over the years, the eldest brother fought everywhere and made many contributions. He has a high prestige in the court, and many ministers support him, not losing to the prince.
Ming Xi pretended to understand and nodded: "So that's the case."
"Don't worry, I will protect you and won't let anything happen to you!" His woman does not allow anyone to covet her, even the prince!
"Well, I believe in you!"
"I'll take you back first."
"it is good."
The fourth master sent Ming Xi back to his tent, and asked the guards to guard him carefully, not letting anyone approach his tent.
"You stay in the tent obediently, I will come back early tonight."
Ming Xi nodded obediently: "Okay, I'll wait for Master to come back."
Fourth Master stretched out his hand to hold Ming Xi tightly in his arms, and said in a very gentle tone: "I'm here, don't be afraid!"
When Ming Xi heard Si Ye's words, her heart felt sore, her nose was sour, her eyes were slightly red, and her voice was choked up: "En."
Fourth master felt Mingxi's body tremble slightly, felt very uncomfortable, and felt even more fond of it.Holding Mingxi's face with both hands, seeing her flushed eyes, Fourth Master gently kissed her eyes.
"It'll be fine!"
Ming Xi nodded heavily: "En."
"have a good rest."
"it is good."
Fourth master gave a few more words of advice before leaving.He went to the Queen Mother first, and explained to the Queen Mother that Xi was frightened while hunting, so he rested at his place first, and could not serve the Queen Mother for the time being.
When the queen mother heard that Mingxi was frightened, she was very worried, and wanted to visit Mingxi in person, but was stopped by the fourth master on the grounds that Mingxi had already fallen asleep.
After leaving the queen mother's tent, fourth master went directly to the paddock.
On the way to the paddock, fourth master thought a lot.In order to keep Mingxi, he decided to secretly collect the prince's handle.If the prince insists on getting Mingxi at that time, he will use the prince's handle to protect Mingxi.
At this time, Ming Xi, who was in Fourth Master's tent, had already washed up and was lying on Fourth Master's bed pretending to be sick.
Fourth master now knows that the prince is a womanizer who even covets his brother's woman, so he probably won't support the prince anymore.The fourth master has no intention of seizing the heirloom. Now that he knows that the crown prince is such a person, he wonders if he will change his mind and decide to participate in the heir apparent.
Wait, fourth master won't change his mind, so let's run to support elder brother.If so, that's bad.
What can she do to make fourth master want to win the heir?
If she said it directly, she would definitely be treated as a rebellious person by fourth master.If you hinted at it, fourth master might not like it.
She can't remind fourth master of this matter, after all, she is a simple person in fourth master's eyes.How could a naive and simple person remind fourth master to snatch the throne.It must be someone else who hinted that fourth master was going to seize the heir.
After thinking for a long time, Ming Xi had no choice but to give up.When the time came, the fourth master would participate in the seizure of the heir apparent, so she didn't want to worry about it.
Compared with this matter, the assassination at night is more important.Although fourth master and the others had made precautionary preparations in advance, there would still be danger.
Thinking of the dream, the queen mother was assassinated, and she was shot with two arrows in order to protect the queen mother, and her life and death were unknown.Ming Xi was a little worried, now that she was in Fourth Master's tent, she would not get shot twice in order to protect the Queen Mother.But, without her, what will happen to the Queen Mother?
The imperial grandmother loved her very much, and she could not just watch the imperial grandmother be assassinated.
If she doesn't go, the queen mother will be assassinated and injured, and she will be very sorry for the rest of her life.
Ming Xi struggled in her heart for a long time, and decided to go to the Queen Mother's tent.
There are many wild flowers growing in the forest on the west side of the paddock. Although they are not as exquisite and expensive as the flowers in the imperial garden, they have a different charm.
Mingxi saw that there were many platycodon flowers growing in the grass in the forest, some were blue, some were purple, some were pink, they were very beautiful.
Looking at the platycodon flower in the grass, Ming Xi suddenly thought of its flower language, and looked thoughtful.
Seeing Mingxi staring at the wild flowers in the grass, Fourth Master asked a little puzzled, "What are you looking at?"
Ming Xi turned her head and looked at Fourth Master with burning eyes.
Seeing Mingxi looking at him with shining eyes, fourth master couldn't help but smile.
"Look at me like that, do you have anything to ask me?" Every time this girl looked at him with sparkling eyes, she would ask him for something.
Ming Xi smiled slightly at Fourth Master, and pointed to the bellflower in the grass: "Master, I want bellflower flowers."
Hearing this, Fourth Master was slightly taken aback, and then asked with a broken smile: "Do you want me to pick it for you?"
Ming Xi nodded again and again, said with crooked eyebrows and eyes: "Yes, the Lord will send me off."
"If you want flowers, I'll go back and send them to you." Fourth Master glanced at the platycodon flowers in the grass, and said with some disgust, "This flower is not pretty."
"Grandpa, I want platycodon flower." The flower language of platycodon flower is eternal love, love without regrets and hopelessness.
"Don't you like roses?"
"But there are no roses here, only bellflower flowers." Ming Xi looked at Fourth Master expectantly, and said coquettishly, "Master, I want bellflower flowers."
Fourth Master has always had no resistance to Mingxi's coquettishness, hearing her softly say that she wants platycodon flowers, my heart softens.
"You..." Fourth Master had a look of helplessness on his face, but his tone was full of pampering and indulgence.
Ming Xi saw Fourth Master jumping off the horse, walked to the edge of the grass, and reached out to pick bellflower flowers.His actions were very serious, and he didn't pick a few flowers casually perfunctorily, as if he was doing a very important thing.
Seeing Si Ye like this, Ming Xi only felt that a heart was soaked in warm honey water, warm and sweet.
Fourth master picked eleven platycodon flowers.The last time Mingxi sent him a bouquet of flowers in Zhuangzi, exactly eleven flowers, she told Si Ye that eleven flowers represented a lifetime.
When he first picked bellflowers, fourth master didn't want to pick a few flowers, but it suddenly popped into his mind that Ming Xi said that eleven flowers represent a lifetime, so he picked eleven flowers.
Picked three blue bellflowers, three purple bellflowers, and five pink bellflowers.Fourth Master gently tied eleven platycodon flowers together with a towel to make a bouquet.
Fourth Master walked to Mingxi's side, raised his head slightly and looked at Mingxi who was sitting on the horseback.Ming Xi was facing the sun with his back, and his whole body was shrouded in dazzling light, like a fairy descending from the sky, which made Fourth Master lose his mind.
Seeing that Fourth Master looked at her without speaking, Ming Xi leaned down slightly and called out softly: "Master?"
Fourth master came back to his senses, raised a bunch of platycodon flowers in his hand: "Take it."
Mingxi looked at the platycodon flowers in fourth master's hand, counted them in her heart, there were eleven flowers in total, with the corners of her mouth raised slightly, she stretched out her hands to take the flowers in fourth master's hand, lowered her head and smelled them gently, and a smile appeared on her face Out of a touch of intoxicating smile.
In an instant, Fourth Master only felt that the world was pale, and there was no sound around him. In his eyes, mind, and heart, there was only Ming Xi's smile when he lowered his head.
Ming Xi raised her head and smiled brightly at Fourth Master, and said sweetly: "Thank you, Master!" Unexpectedly, Fourth Master would pick eleven platycodon flowers for her, which really surprised her.
The fourth master was flustered by the bright smile on Mingxi's face, and stared blankly at Mingxi who was sitting on the horseback for a while.

The soft touch on his lips woke up fourth master, and his eyes widened involuntarily.By the time he reacted, Ming Xi had already sat on the horse again, looking at him with a smile on her face.
"Master, I didn't expect you to give me eleven bellflowers."
Fourth Master walked up to his horse, turned over handsomely, sat neatly on the horse's back, and led the horse close to Ming Xi's side.
"That's right, I didn't count." Fourth Master naturally wouldn't admit that he picked eleven flowers on purpose.
Ming Xi heard fourth master say this, and smiled sweetly at him: "Master just counted eleven flowers, really..." Ming Xi paused on purpose.
"Really what?"
Ming Xi winked ambiguously at Fourth Master: "Eleven flowers represent a lifetime, so it can be seen that Master also wants to spend his whole life with me."
Hearing what Mingxi said, fourth master's expression became a little uncomfortable, he turned his head and said, "I just picked eleven flowers by chance."
Seeing Fourth Master's duplicity, Ming Xi felt sweet in his heart, sweeter than eating a piece of candy.
"Grandpa, I like it very much, thank you!"
Hearing these words, fourth master turned his head to look at Mingxi, seeing Mingxi's joyful smile, his expression softened unconsciously.
"Master, do you know what the flower language of platycodon flower is?" Ming Xi asked suddenly.
Fourth Master was taken aback by the question, his face full of confusion: "Flower language?"
"Master, every kind of flower has its meaning. For example, peony, its flower language is wealth, passion, and perfection. The flower language of plum blossom is strength and elegance."
"I know this."
"Then do you know the flower language of platycodon flower?"
Fourth Master shook his head lightly: "I don't know."
"The flower language of platycodon flower is..." Ming Xi originally wanted to tell Fourth Master, but suddenly changed her mind, and smiled meaningfully at Fourth Master, "It's better not to tell Master."
"why did not you tell me?"
"There's no point in telling me." Ming Xi winked playfully at Fourth Master, "If you want to know, you can check it yourself."
"You girl..." She didn't say anything in the middle of her speech, wasn't she trying to whet people's appetite.
"It doesn't make any sense if I tell you, so I'd better find out by myself." After Ming Xi finished speaking, she gently clamped the stomach of the horse.The tall white horse raised its hooves and started to run slowly.
"Master, it's getting late, it's time for us to hunt."
Fourth master couldn't help but laugh, and followed on horseback.
Next, Ming Xi and Fourth Master started a hunting competition.
Suddenly a white fox appeared in their line of sight, Ming Xi and Fourth Master picked up their bows and arrows at the same time.It's a pity that Ming Xi was one step too late for Fourth Master, and Fourth Master's arrow hit the white fox's neck first.
"This white fox is mine." Fourth Master smiled at Mingxi, a little provocatively.
Ming Xi said angrily: "Don't be too happy, I will definitely be faster than you in the future!"
Fourth master smiled and said, "I'll wait."
Next, a fat and big gray rabbit appeared in the sight of the two of them.Ming Xi moved faster than Fourth Master this time, and shot the rabbit first.
"Well, let me say that I will be faster than you."
"Not bad." This girl's riding and shooting is really not bad.
However, it seemed that Mingxi's good luck ended with the rabbit, and she didn't shoot any prey after that, which made her very depressed.
"Is this your level?"
Ming Xi glared at Fourth Master angrily, and said stiffly: "My level is not like this, it's just that I haven't hunted for a long time, and my level has dropped." It's too embarrassing, she hasn't hunted a single fox until now. Come on, how do you go back to see the emperor's grandmother?
"Admit defeat?"
"Don't admit defeat." She didn't believe in evil, so she still missed one shot next time.
"Then go on."
The two continued to walk deep into the forest and saw a deer in front of them.
Ming Xi's eyes suddenly became bright, and she quickly took out the arrow and prepared to shoot.In the end, she was still one step too late. As soon as she put the arrow on the bow, fourth master's arrow had already flown towards the deer in front.
With a bang, the deer in front let out a scream, and then fell to the ground.
Ming Xi and Fourth Master walked over and saw that the deer was hit by two arrows.One of Si Ye's arrows was planted in the deer's neck, and the other arrow was shot in the deer's abdomen.
"Whose arrow is this?" Her arrow didn't shoot out, so it wasn't his.
Fourth master jumped off the horse, walked to the side of the fallen deer, and took a look at the arrow that had been shot in the deer's belly.Seeing the tail of the arrow, fourth master knew who shot it.
Just when Fourth Master was about to say who it was, a slightly surprised voice suddenly sounded: "Fourth Brother?"
Ming Xi and Fourth Master followed the sound and saw His Royal Highness riding a horse from the forest on their right.
"I have met His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness is auspicious!" Ming Xi and Fourth Master hurriedly saluted.
"Get up." His Highness the Crown Prince jumped off the horse, glanced casually at Ming Xi who was beside Fourth Master, seeing Ming Xi's heroic attire, His Highness the Crown Prince's eyes flashed with astonishment.
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness!"
"Fourth brother, how many times have I told you to call Gu Erge directly."
"The gift cannot be neglected."
"It's not going to court now, so don't call him His Royal Highness Gu Prince, just call him Second Brother Gu."
The fourth master called out kindly: "Second brother!"
Only then did His Royal Highness smile with satisfaction: "That's right, but why are you here, fourth brother?"
The fourth master didn't know how to answer the prince's question for a while, he couldn't tell the prince that he deliberately brought his side Fujin to hunt in a place with few people.
His Royal Highness looked at Ming Xi who was beside Fourth Master, and smiled deeply: "It seems that Fourth Brother brought his side Fujin here on purpose."
Hearing what His Royal Highness said, Fourth Master looked a little embarrassed, blushed slightly and changed the subject and asked, "Why did Second Brother come here?" Shouldn't His Royal Highness be hunting in the main paddock like everyone else, why did he come here? Come from a slightly remote forest.
"I just walked around casually, I didn't expect to meet you here."
Ming Xi, who had been standing behind Fourth Master, always felt that there was a staring stare at her that seemed invisible.When she quietly raised her eyes and looked over, it was gone again.
"Why didn't your side Fujin serve the emperor's grandmother?" The fourth brother was really interested, and brought the beautiful side Fujin to a remote forest, where no one disturbed him, and he could do whatever he wanted.
"The imperial grandmother asked her to hunt with her younger brother."
"So that's the case." His Royal Highness said with a smile, "You don't mind being alone with you, do you?"
Hearing this, the fourth master looked at the prince in surprise: "Second brother, this place is a bit remote, it will be dangerous for you to stay here, I'd better go back with you, brother."
His Highness the Crown Prince waved his hand: "Don't go back, there are too many people there, it's too noisy." As if thinking of something bad, His Highness the Crown Prince frowned slightly and said, "Brother is there, if you go back alone, you will inevitably be pulled by him again." Let's try it out."
"But here..."
"Gu didn't come alone." There were more than a dozen guards behind His Royal Highness, who were obviously here to protect him.
Seeing this, the fourth master couldn't say anything more: "If the second brother doesn't dislike it, my younger brother will be with you."
"Speaking of which, Gu hasn't hunted with the fourth brother yet, let's take this opportunity to compete."
"My younger brother's riding and archery skills are not as good as the second brother's. Competing with the second brother will only ruin the second brother's interest." In fact, the fourth master's riding and shooting skills are not inferior to His Royal Highness, but His Royal Highness is His Royal Highness, so he has been hiding his clumsiness.Of all the elder brothers, only the eldest elder brother dared to confront His Highness the Crown Prince, and the others all hid their clumsiness in front of His Highness the Crown Prince.
"Fourth brother, it doesn't make sense for you to say that."
"If the second brother doesn't dislike it, I will compete with you."
His Royal Highness patted the fourth master on the shoulder, said with a smile: "Cheer up!" After speaking, he looked at Ming Xi, "Do you want to join the competition between the orphan and the fourth brother?" A strange emotion surged up.
"Second brother, she's not good at riding and shooting, so she won't join us."
"In this case, forget it." His Royal Highness did not force it.
Fourth Master turned around and told Ming Xi, "You go back to serve the imperial grandmother first."
"Yes, Lord Belle!"
"Wait, why do you ask the fourth sister-in-law to leave?"
"Second brother, she will only get in the way if she stays here."
"Fourth brother, it's not right for you to say that." His Royal Highness said disapprovingly, "Let the fourth sister-in-law stay and be a witness for us."
"Second brother, she can't keep up with us, let her go back to serve the imperial grandmother."
"You told her to go back, I feel sorry for Gu, after all, Gu disturbed you." His Royal Highness said.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said so much, Fourth Master can't tell Ming Xi to go back first, so he can only let Ming Xi follow them.
Ming Xi followed Fourth Master and the others, because she was afraid of affecting them, she kept a distance from them.
Seeing the competition between the fourth master and His Royal Highness, Ming Xi really wanted to cheer for the fourth master loudly, but he could only cheer for the fourth master in his heart.
At first, Fourth Master and His Royal Highness were on equal footing, but after a while, Fourth Master was obviously inferior to His Royal Highness.
Seeing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince shot a red fox, Ming Xi was very envious. The fur of this red fox is very beautiful. If it is given to the imperial grandmother as a scarf or cloak, it must be very beautiful.
Just when Ming Xi thought that this competition would last until the end of today's hunting, unexpectedly, it ended early because the elder brother hunted a black bear.
When His Royal Highness heard that Elder Brother had shot a black bear, his face immediately turned dark, and his complexion was very ugly.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince originally wanted to take this opportunity to observe Ming Xi carefully, but he could no longer sit still when he heard that Eldest Brother had shot a black bear.
"Fourth brother, Gu won't bother you and fourth sister-in-law, let's go first." The elder brother shot a black bear, if he didn't hunt a black bear, he didn't know how he would be ridiculed by the elder brother.
"Second brother, walk slowly."
After the mighty group of His Royal Highness left, Ming Xi breathed a sigh of relief.Her Royal Highness is here, she feels very uncomfortable, especially she always feels that His Royal Highness is looking at her from time to time.At first, she thought it was her own illusion, but she secretly noticed that His Royal Highness really looked at her from time to time.Although it was hidden very deeply, she felt that His Royal Highness looked at her with a trace of wretchedness.
"Finally gone."
Hearing what Ming Xi said, Fourth Master laughed helplessly: "There are no rules, how do you talk?"
Ming Xi shut her mouth obediently, and looked at Fourth Master pitifully.
The fourth master was softened by Mingxi's look, "Okay, the prince is gone, you don't have to feel uncomfortable." The fourth master also knew that the prince was on the side, and Mingxi would feel restrained and uncomfortable.
"Master, let's go back." She was in no mood to continue hunting now.
"Don't want to hunt anymore?"
"I'm not interested." She always felt that His Highness the Prince's hunting in such a remote forest was not accidental.
Fourth master was not interested in being disturbed by His Highness the Crown Prince.In addition, the elder brother hunted a black bear, so he had to go and have a look, otherwise His Royal Highness and the elder brother would quarrel again.
"Then go back."
"Master..." Ming Xi opened her mouth, looking at Fourth Master hesitantly.
"What's wrong?" Fourth Master asked with concern.
Ming Xi looked at Fourth Master, hesitating in his heart whether to tell Fourth Master that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince saw her.If she told fourth master, it would be a question of whether fourth master would believe it.However, if she didn't tell fourth master, she would be very disturbed.
Seeing Ming Xi's hesitation, Fourth Master stopped his horse and looked at her with concern: "What's the matter, is there something wrong?"
Ming Xi struggled in her heart, and decided to speak out: "Master, when the Crown Prince comes down..." Halfway through speaking, Ming Xi hesitated again.
"What's the matter, Your Highness?"
After thinking about it, Ming Xi decided not to talk about it. If she told Fourth Master about this, maybe Fourth Master would not believe it, and would think that she was trying to stir up the brotherhood between him and His Highness the Crown Prince.
"It's nothing." In the Qing palace dramas I watched in my previous life, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Kangxi was very attractive, but now it's not a Qing palace drama, maybe she was thinking too much, and it's better to stay away when seeing His Royal Highness in the future.
"Xi'er, tell me what the hell is going on?" Seeing Ming Xi's worried expression, the fourth master couldn't have nothing.It's just that she seems to be worried about something and dare not tell him. "Just say what you have to say, and I won't blame you."
Seeing the concern and worry in Fourth Master's eyes, Ming Xi was very moved. After thinking about it, she decided to tell Fourth Master.If you don't tell fourth master, this matter will be a thorn in her heart.
"Master, the crown prince has been watching me quietly when he came down. At first I thought it was my illusion, but then I noticed it secretly, and found that it was not an illusion. His highness the crown prince has been watching me."
After listening to Ming Xi's words, fourth master's face instantly became gloomy, and his eyes were cold.
It was the first time Ming Xi saw Fourth Master's expression so cold, she couldn't help being frightened, and regretted telling Fourth Master about it.
Seeing Mingxi's uneasy expression, fourth master knew that he had frightened her, and a flash of pity flashed in his eyes.
"Xi'er, are you sure?"
When Ming Xi heard that Fourth Master spoke so gently to her, the hearts that were tightly held together just now were slightly relieved.
"I'm sure it's not my illusion, and it's not that I think too much." His Royal Highness looked at her, which made her very uncomfortable.
Fourth Master looked at Ming Xi's beautiful face, and then thought of the rumors he had heard before, his face became gloomy like water.
"You don't have to worry, I will take care of this matter. When you go back later, you will be by the imperial grandmother's side and don't go anywhere."
Hearing what Si Ye said, Ming Xi was completely relieved, Si Ye believed her words!
"Master, His Highness the Crown Prince will go to pay his respects to the Imperial Grandmother." The way His Highness the Crown Prince looked at her made her very frightened and uneasy.If it was someone else, she wouldn't care too much, but His Royal Highness is not an ordinary person.
"You go to my tent, I will tell the imperial grandmother that you are not feeling well, and it is not convenient to serve her old man." The fourth master is now trying to find a way to make His Royal Highness never see Ming Xi again. "The day after tomorrow, you will go back to the mansion directly with me, and don't go to the palace for now."
"Grandmother's side..."
"I'll tell the emperor's grandmother." The fourth master thought for a while, but he still felt uneasy, "I'll ask Su Peisheng to take you back tomorrow morning." It's getting late now, if you go back, you have to walk at night, which might be dangerous .
Ming Xi nodded obediently: "Okay." She didn't want to stay here anymore, she always felt unsafe.
"I shouldn't have brought you to the autumn hunt." It was dangerous to be targeted by His Royal Highness, and the fourth master regretted letting Mingxi come to participate in the autumn hunt.
Ming Xi deliberately said in a joking tone: "Ah... who told me to be so beautiful!"
Hearing this, Fourth Master gave Ming Xi a hard look.
Ming Xi suddenly smiled gratefully at Fourth Master: "Master, thank you for trusting me!" Ming Xi was very moved by Fourth Master's trust.
"Stupid girl..." Fourth Master felt a little distressed.
"Master, what if His Royal Highness...then then?"
Ming Xi's words were intermittent and very vague, but Fourth Master still understood.
"If he really dares to do this, I'll tell Huang Ama." If His Royal Highness wants to get Ming Xi by all means, Fourth Master has no good solution.Telling Kangxi is actually a bad idea.Kangxi might not keep Mingxi alive in this world in order to protect the reputation of His Highness the Crown Prince.Even if Mingxi is favored by the queen mother, the queen mother will not protect her when the time comes.In the queen mother's heart, Mingxi is no more important than the prince.
It's not a solution, it's that the fourth master quietly hides Mingxi, so that His Royal Highness can't find it or get it.
"Master, I'm afraid His Royal Highness will make things difficult for you."
Fourth Master was slightly taken aback, and then gave Mingxi a comforting smile: "No."
Seeing that Fourth Master said so firmly, Ming Xi asked curiously, "Why not?"
"Because he needs my support!" Even though His Royal Highness the crown prince has been named the crown prince since he was a child, his position as crown prince is not impregnable.Over the years, the eldest brother fought everywhere and made many contributions. He has a high prestige in the court, and many ministers support him, not losing to the prince.
Ming Xi pretended to understand and nodded: "So that's the case."
"Don't worry, I will protect you and won't let anything happen to you!" His woman does not allow anyone to covet her, even the prince!
"Well, I believe in you!"
"I'll take you back first."
"it is good."
The fourth master sent Ming Xi back to his tent, and asked the guards to guard him carefully, not letting anyone approach his tent.
"You stay in the tent obediently, I will come back early tonight."
Ming Xi nodded obediently: "Okay, I'll wait for Master to come back."
Fourth Master stretched out his hand to hold Ming Xi tightly in his arms, and said in a very gentle tone: "I'm here, don't be afraid!"
When Ming Xi heard Si Ye's words, her heart felt sore, her nose was sour, her eyes were slightly red, and her voice was choked up: "En."
Fourth master felt Mingxi's body tremble slightly, felt very uncomfortable, and felt even more fond of it.Holding Mingxi's face with both hands, seeing her flushed eyes, Fourth Master gently kissed her eyes.
"It'll be fine!"
Ming Xi nodded heavily: "En."
"have a good rest."
"it is good."
Fourth master gave a few more words of advice before leaving.He went to the Queen Mother first, and explained to the Queen Mother that Xi was frightened while hunting, so he rested at his place first, and could not serve the Queen Mother for the time being.
When the queen mother heard that Mingxi was frightened, she was very worried, and wanted to visit Mingxi in person, but was stopped by the fourth master on the grounds that Mingxi had already fallen asleep.
After leaving the queen mother's tent, fourth master went directly to the paddock.
On the way to the paddock, fourth master thought a lot.In order to keep Mingxi, he decided to secretly collect the prince's handle.If the prince insists on getting Mingxi at that time, he will use the prince's handle to protect Mingxi.
At this time, Ming Xi, who was in Fourth Master's tent, had already washed up and was lying on Fourth Master's bed pretending to be sick.
Fourth master now knows that the prince is a womanizer who even covets his brother's woman, so he probably won't support the prince anymore.The fourth master has no intention of seizing the heirloom. Now that he knows that the crown prince is such a person, he wonders if he will change his mind and decide to participate in the heir apparent.
Wait, fourth master won't change his mind, so let's run to support elder brother.If so, that's bad.
What can she do to make fourth master want to win the heir?
If she said it directly, she would definitely be treated as a rebellious person by fourth master.If you hinted at it, fourth master might not like it.
She can't remind fourth master of this matter, after all, she is a simple person in fourth master's eyes.How could a naive and simple person remind fourth master to snatch the throne.It must be someone else who hinted that fourth master was going to seize the heir.
After thinking for a long time, Ming Xi had no choice but to give up.When the time came, the fourth master would participate in the seizure of the heir apparent, so she didn't want to worry about it.
Compared with this matter, the assassination at night is more important.Although fourth master and the others had made precautionary preparations in advance, there would still be danger.
Thinking of the dream, the queen mother was assassinated, and she was shot with two arrows in order to protect the queen mother, and her life and death were unknown.Ming Xi was a little worried, now that she was in Fourth Master's tent, she would not get shot twice in order to protect the Queen Mother.But, without her, what will happen to the Queen Mother?
The imperial grandmother loved her very much, and she could not just watch the imperial grandmother be assassinated.
If she doesn't go, the queen mother will be assassinated and injured, and she will be very sorry for the rest of her life.
Ming Xi struggled in her heart for a long time, and decided to go to the Queen Mother's tent.
