Empty and lonely?

Pure boredom?

It can't be a whim, just want to find someone to hang out with.

Jiang Ling was full of doubts, but he didn't know where to go to solve his doubts, so he could only silently follow behind the man, taking three or five steps not far or near.The man did not criticize him harshly, but slowly slowed down, waiting for her to follow.

"A few years ago, I thoroughly checked the national treasury and found two or three bad debts. The servant of the household department wanted to cover it up, but I tore a hole at once. There are bad debts everywhere in Jiangnan, Zhili, Shanxi, Gansu... Only [-]% to [-]% were paid to the state treasury, and the rest were all shorted and moved to their own state capitals. Oh, they thought, but unfortunately there are still a few cruel officials under my hands, and after a little beating, they will return the accounts Most of the time, even the salt merchants vomited a lot, but it's a pity for the two direct ministers in front."

"A few days ago your father told me that he wanted to go back to Shanxi to take care of his life. I saw that he would still have decades to live, so I refuted his statement. Your father went to Suo'etu reluctantly, and I didn't want Zhun Zou, then made a fuss all the way to the court, tell me, how can there be such a reason in this world? I just cut off a lot of party members, and cut off a few collars, just thinking about letting your father fill it, but in the end I turned against you. It’s my fault. The next time you go to visit your relatives, you must talk to your father, don’t tear down my platform, don’t learn from Mingzhu, that old guy can choke me to death.”

"In the past two years, Galdan has become restless again. I want to fight in person, but I can't do anything. In your opinion, should I teach them a lesson myself? Hehe, I can't teach them to live too well. Then There is Tsarist Russia, which has been migrating south again and again. I see that in two years, I will cross the Nerchinsk border river. I really want to seal that river, but unfortunately I can't do it. Those old guys in Beijing always Want to make me unhappy. I heard that you lived in the Rongguo Mansion for half a year? Have you ever heard of the Rongguo Mansion lending money in private? The whole capital has been tossed by them, and I almost tossed into my Hanlin Academy. One day, we will have to free up our hands to deal with them."

"A few years ago, there was quicksand in Gansu, which almost destroyed the two cities. I sent people to rush there quickly, but they missed nothing. Some monsters spread rumors that the drought, quicksand, and the previous three years in Beijing The big earthquake that happened here was a warning from the heavens, saying that I shouldn't cut off the assistant ministers. Oh, I didn't want to cut off, but they wanted to replace me one by one, so don't blame me Heartbroken..."

The man stood under the moonlight with his hands behind his back, his tone was flat, but all the words he said were thrilling.Jiang Ling endured and endured, not knowing whether he should interrupt Kangxi and tell him that he was not good at playing politics, or he should stand quietly aside and give him some advice within a reasonable range.Although she is a political scum (naturally born), after all, she still has some memories that do not belong to this era.

But in the end, she followed Kangxi quietly without saying anything.

From the rising of the moon to the willow tip of the moon, the man held back the words in his heart for a long time, and poured out all the words in his brain. He would look back from time to time, and he would always see Jiang Ling following behind him. At first, he was stunned, but after a long time I felt that this was not bad, so I jumped to mention the Mongolian prairie, and mentioned that although Mingzhu and Suo'etu are right-hand men, they occasionally do things but are hindered in everything. It really makes people angry and hate... Topic Jumping from the hunting ground in Mongolia to the floods in the south of the Yangtze River, and then jumping from Saibei to his next southern tour, but no matter what he said, Jiang Ling followed him quietly, occasionally answering a sentence or two, that's all.

Until the end, Emperor Kangxi looked at her expressionless face and smiled.

"When I saw you earlier, I felt that your mind was clear, and your words and deeds were not lacking in Zen Buddhism. Now it seems that you are not bad at all." While speaking, he unknowingly slowed down, as if he was waiting She follows.

Jiang Ling was startled, then shook his head and said, "But in fact, I don't understand Buddhism."

She belatedly thought, the emperor must be lonely.

That's why... I want a quiet listener.

Kangxi was startled when he heard the words, and then he laughed out loud, as if to sweep away the depression in his chest.Jiang Ling looked at him with some puzzlement, wondering how he could make him so happy.When the emperor had laughed enough, he looked down at her, and said softly, "You claim to be ignorant of Buddhist principles, but your words, every word and every sentence, are like Buddhist swear words, which made me suddenly enlightened."

Jiang Ling was stunned.She really doesn't know anything about Buddhism.

"I was raised by La Aunt Su Ma when I was young, and I was raised by the Empress Dowager for a long time. The Empress Dowager liked Buddha, and La Aunt Su Ma also liked Buddha, so I learned a little bit, but every day It will be abandoned for a long time." Kangxi sighed, "But after a long time, people around me are of all kinds and colors, and they can no longer be as wanton as before."

Jiang Ling understood that this was probably living with a mask on.

She raised her head and glanced at Kangxi, and saw that under the faint moonlight, the man's face was cold, the brows were a little unruly, and even his eyes were sharp.Occasionally, when he glanced at her, he could see a touch of gentleness.Probably noticing her gaze, Kangxi smiled and said, "It's getting dark, I'll send someone to take you back." Then he took Jiang Ling and walked back the same way.

Just two steps away, Kangxi suddenly asked: "How old are you?"

Jiang Ling was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously replied, "Fourteen...fifteen."

Fifteen years old is the age of her body, but Jiang Ling's own age is much older than fourteen or fifteen years old.

When Kangxi heard her age, he couldn't help but groaned slightly.She was a round younger than him, but for some reason, she looked like a girl who had lived her whole life and seen through the world. Her words and deeds were different from ordinary girls—although she tried her best to cover up this with silence. They are different, but the subtle changes in demeanor and movements can never be hidden from others.

Especially when Kangxi ascended the throne when he was young, he had met too many people of all kinds, so he couldn't hide it from him.

Jiang Ling naturally didn't know what Kangxi was thinking, if she knew, she would probably be shocked.The two walked back to the intersection one after the other, just three or five steps apart, neither far nor close.At the place where he just came, the eunuch was walking around, looking forward to it, and when he saw Kangxi coming back, he couldn't help heaving a long sigh of relief, went forward, and called Long Live Lord.

Kangxi glanced at him, and ordered: "Send her back to Zhongcui Palace."

The eunuch was waiting to answer, when Jiang Ling suddenly took a step forward and said softly: "Your majesty, it is the right time of the year. It is too eye-catching for this father-in-law to send me back to Zhongcui Palace. Please agree with the emperor." , let me go back to the palace alone."

The words are sincere and reasonable.

Kangxi thought for a while, then asked again: "Can you recognize the way back?"

Jiang Ling nodded slightly, and said, "When I came here just now, I already remembered the road in my heart."

Kangxi frowned, did not say anything more, and agreed to Jiang Ling's request.Jiang Ling thanked Kangxi, then walked slowly towards Zhongcui Palace according to the way he came.Kangxi looked at her back, groaning silently, his eyes were a little deep.

Seeing Kangxi's expression, the eunuch smiled and said, "Does the Long Live Lord want to keep Miss Yunling?"

Kangxi nodded slightly, but remained silent.In fact, he hadn't been this relaxed in a long time.Since becoming emperor, former playmates, elders, and even brothers of the same generation have all drifted away one by one.The last time he saw Jiang Ling, he asked someone to check and found out that she was a quiet and steady girl, so he asked her to accompany him for a walk on a whim.

But just now he discovered that she is not only a quiet and steady girl, but also a reassuring girl.

Kangxi recalled what she said just now, and smiled again.The girl was a little too quiet, but it was just right, he didn't like people pointing fingers from the side too much.But this girl has her own ideas, and she seems very stubborn, this matter still needs to be worked out.

The eunuch smiled and said, "Since Long Live Lord likes it, why don't you tell the Empress Dowager to keep her here."

Kangxi glanced at him, and said lightly: "I have already prepared for it, and I will never teach anyone to stop me halfway."

There seemed to be some anger between the words.

The eunuch shrank his head when he heard the words, thinking that he had heard something he shouldn't have heard, so he tried to change the subject again, and joked: "That is of course excellent. I have been dead for three years, and there is another... Lord, Since that girl is so kind, why do you have to be so indifferent? Why don't you just keep the girl by your side, anyway, the Yikun Palace is still empty."

Kangxi shook his head slowly.

"I've lost three queens in a row, so I'm really scared...well, go back, even if I have this intention in my heart, I have to take it step by step." Kangxi let out a long breath and raised his hand to rub Rubbing between his brows, he continued, "If the war in the northwest gets tighter, I will move the Qianqing Palace to the west. When the days are stable, it will not be too late to discuss this matter."

"The green-headed sign?..."

"Leave it."

……

The matter of tonight disappeared quietly like this, and the parties involved were quiet, not revealing a word.Jiang Ling returned to Zhongcui Palace safe and sound, and pressed the identity card under the pillow, and did not take it out for several days.In fact, that night, she really wanted to ask Emperor Kangxi why he gave her such an important and difficult thing, but by mistake, she didn't ask after all.

For the next four or five days, Jiang Ling spent most of his time learning the rules, but nothing happened.

On the sixth day, the female officer suddenly told them that they don't need to learn the rules any more, they have to go to the empress dowager for training.And it is said that not only the five of them, but also the beautiful women who have been reserved twice before but have never been married to the offspring of the royal family, will go to the Empress Dowager to listen to the training.And some people said that after passing the test of the Empress Dowager, the general election will be considered over.

When Jiang Ling heard the name of the Empress Dowager, she was silent for a quarter of an hour.

Because that's Xiaozhuang.
