In October, the group finally returned to the capital.

It's late autumn, and a thin layer of frost has formed at night, and even the autumn rain has become cold.The fact that Kangxi took Jiang Ling back to Beijing caused an uproar in the palace.On the way back to the palace, she had heard a lot of whispers, and she thought that Kangxi's behavior was probably to increase his status, but she didn't know whether it was to go up two levels or one level.

His tone was sour, as if he was talking about something big.

Jiang Ling listened for a while, then walked past them as usual, and returned to the palace of the Empress Dowager with the nuns.

Kangxi didn't have any other instructions, which meant that everything was as usual, she lived in the Empress Dowager's Palace as usual, and Kangxi also came to visit her as usual, accompanied her to sleep, and then returned to Dongnuange to continue reviewing papers.This year is indeed an eventful year. One is that Tsarist Russia is stirring up trouble in the Far East, and the other is that the Mongolian Galdan tribe in western Moxie has grown up. Kangxi has spent a lot of effort, but he did not take that land down.Although Jiang Ling did have memories of later generations, she was not a library after all, and she was lucky to occasionally remember the treaty between Peter the Great and Nerchinsk.

Oh, and another one is Jiangnan.But Jiang Ling's eyes were even darker about Jiangnan's affairs, and he didn't know anything about it.

So the life was so unsalty, and after waiting for more than ten days, there was no news from Kangxi.

There is no promotion, no summons, and no too many intersections.

Except that Kangxi would come to accompany her every night when she fell asleep, everything else was as usual.

The matter of Jiang Ling's return to the palace was like a pebble thrown into the ocean, after the initial slight ripples, it disappeared without a trace.At the beginning, some people were talking about when Jiang Ling would raise her status. After all, she was the only concubine brought to Rehe by Kangxi; but slowly, there was no news from Kangxi. It also slowly returned to calm.

But only Jiang Ling knew what this peace meant in this harem.

Protection, protection everywhere.

Whether it was letting her stay in the empress dowager's palace, or the daily indifference, it was all to make her appear inconspicuous.Only when falling asleep at night, Kangxi would occasionally laugh a little more, and coax her to sleep as usual.She had thought that Kangxi would call people over at night, until one day she overheard Manager Liang mentioning that all the green lottery tickets had been withdrawn at the same time, and the reason was unknown, she was suddenly stunned.

—was he mad?

Facts have proved that this is not the only thing that caused Emperor Kangxi to go crazy. The officials in charge of daily life notes repeatedly reminded Kangxi that it was wrong to do so. Kangxi glanced at him and sneered: "I can even review the history of the country, so why bother with you?" daily note?"

So the official historian kept silent, and truthfully recorded Kangxi's brutal style.

For 20 days, the weather was calm and there were no waves.

There was no movement even from the Queen Mother.

Jiang Ling finally couldn't hold back, and on a dark and windy night, he secretly pulled the queen mother into his dream.

After a long period of practice, Jiang Ling's control over the ability has improved a bit.In the beginning, she could only pull the people around her into her dream, which is why she made such a big commotion; but now, she can already bring people within a radius of 100 meters into her dream, and she can also Designate a certain person, so tonight's movement will not be as big as last time.

A faint fragrance filled the Forbidden City without a sound.

……

Jiang Ling reproduced the scene of returning to Beijing that day. The autumn rain continued and everything was silent. Emperor Kangxi got out of the chariot, handed the things in his hand to the ceremony officer, and went back to Qianqing Palace.The Empress Dowager followed beside the Empress Dowager with a confused expression, as if she didn't realize that it was a dream.

It wasn't until Jiang Ling got out of the small carriage that the queen mother suddenly woke up, took two steps forward, and said with a frown: "You..."

Jiang Ling stood in the autumn rain, waiting for the Queen Mother to refute.But only after a moment, the queen mother turned her head, looked at the direction where Emperor Kangxi disappeared, sighed faintly, then looked at the empress dowager again, and said softly: "The queen mother is still, just persuade Xuanye."

The Empress Dowager looked at her in puzzlement, not knowing why.

The Queen Mother patted her forehead lightly, and said with a smile, "I'm old, and I forgot that the Queen Mother doesn't know about this." Then she glanced at Jiang Ling, with a bit of complaint and reproach in her eyes.Jiang Ling lowered his eyes and thought to himself, it didn't happen that day.

……

So the scene changed again, the queen mother and the empress dowager walked together in the imperial garden, and it was still raining continuously.

The Empress Dowager walked slowly in the rain, and asked the Empress Dowager, "What did Xuan Ye say to you that day?"

Jiang Ling didn't know what day it was, so he could only vaguely mention it, implying that the queen mother said what she said that day.The Empress Dowager really stopped, looked in the direction of Qianqing Palace, and said: "Xuan Ye came to greet me that day, and I told him that Yun Changzai should stay in Rehe instead of bringing him back to the Forbidden City. inappropriate."

The Empress Dowager was obviously aroused: "Oh?"

The queen mother stroked her chest, and said: "But Xuan Ye told me, 'For the matter of Tsarist Russia, the queen mother must not listen to rumors and mess up her own sense. In Rehe the day before yesterday, I had already handled the matter properly. There will be no reason for the decline of the national fortune.'”

When the Queen Mother talked about the excitement, her tone was a little higher, and she said: "I said to him: 'I would rather believe it or not. You are the emperor, and you can't tolerate any mistakes. Regardless of the woman's birth date , whether it is against the fate of the country or has nothing to do with the fate of the country, for your own sake, you should keep her in Rehe. Anyway, she is just a permanent presence, even if her father's official position is higher, you should comfort her in the court, That's it.' But the queen mother, guess what Xuan Ye said? He said, 'The matter of Tsarist Russia is over. The matter of national destiny has nothing to do with her.' I, I almost saw the second emperor..."

The queen mother stopped talking suddenly, as if she mentioned something that should not be said.

The Empress Dowager smiled, looked at the Empress Dowager, and signaled her to continue.

The queen mother sighed, and continued: "Forget it, it's just a dream anyway. Do you know the queen mother, Xuan Ye is protecting her. He has seen the past of his father, and knows that he cannot praise her too much in the palace. , otherwise it will be another bloodbath. So he will hide her carefully and properly, and protect her under his wings, almost hiding her from me. If it wasn't for the accidental news that he withdrew the green visa..."

Suddenly, the Empress Dowager said in a low voice, "I see."

The Empress Dowager glanced at the sky, and said: "Yes, that's how it is. Xuanye is too cautious, which is completely different from what the late emperor did at the beginning, so even in the palace, no one knows what he is thinking. These years , How has he ever acted like this?"

……

The scene in the dream changed again.This time it was in the Empress Dowager's bedroom, opposite Emperor Kangxi.

The Queen Mother suddenly stood up, walked towards Kangxi, pointed at him and said, "You... how could you..."

A cup of tea was placed in front of Emperor Kangxi, and a white mist rose from the rim of the cup, making his face somewhat unclear.The queen mother took a few deep breaths, and reprimanded: "'The matter of the fate of the country is nothing but vain, and I will do it myself', how can you say such a thing. Isn't the lesson of the late emperor better to wake you up? You are the emperor. You have to think carefully about your words and deeds, how can you act like this!"

Emperor Kangxi did not speak.After a long time, he said: "Queen Mother, calm down."

How can the queen mother calm down.Since this was a dream, she said all the things she couldn't say in the past.

……

The dream is over.

Jiang Ling leaned against the wall slumped, and slowly opened his eyes.

Never expected that such a result would happen.

She closed her eyes again, and touched the rhombic mirror under the pillow, feeling quite uncomfortable.

So the days passed peacefully.The queen mother did not mention Rehe again, nor did she call Jiang Ling over for questioning.Kangxi still came to visit her day after day, and sat down for a while every day, and he was just stuck in the time to greet the Empress Dowager.The rumors about Jiang Ling in the palace gradually subsided. Whether it was the initial "horoscope and the fate of the country" or the later "accompanying him to Rehe alone", all of them were deliberately ignored by Kangxi, and gradually became A puddle of stagnant water.

On the first day of the second month, Jiang Ling went out of the palace to meet Lin Daiyu.

Lin Daiyu still looked the same, but talked a little more, took Jiang Ling's hand, and told her carefully: "You must be careful in the palace, the water is deep. I overheard my grandmother telling my aunt, "The matter has come to this point, then I can't take care of it. You go to the palace and let Yuan Chun follow the original plan. Now the glory of the whole family is tied to her alone. If Yuan Chun can't do it, then it's true." It's over." My grandmother also said, "I heard that Jiang Ling and Yuan Chun are both Shishen." Ah Ling, what is Shishen..."

Jiang Ling wanted to cover Lin Daiyu's mouth, but seeing her bewildered and ignorant expression, he couldn't do it.

Lin Daiyu's eyes fluttered, and she said again: "Grandmother said several times that the palace is dangerous, you must be more careful when you stay in the palace, remember? The last time you were injured so badly, I heard my aunt mention At that time, even Hun'er was frightened away. Fortunately, you are fine, otherwise, I would have to go and beg King Beijing to let me visit you in the palace." Yan Ba ​​pursed his lips and smiled.

This is the 15th time that Jiang Ling No. has heard her mention King Jing.

Lin Daiyu talked about the King of Beijing Jing for a while, then pulled Jiang Ling's hand, and said: "I also heard from my aunt that the emperor has neglected you during this time. If you are bored, Ah Ling, you might as well come out of the palace to 'respect the Buddha'. Let me talk to you. There are many changes in the mansion these days, and I can't even find anyone to talk to. As soon as Xiangyun comes, I will..." She pouted and said nothing.

Jiang Ling gave a gentle smile, and took a long time to coax Lin Daiyu into laughing.

It was not until late at night that Jiang Ling and Lin Daiyu parted ways that they saw the King of Beijing.King Beijing Jing came to pick up Lin Daiyu, and seeing Lin Daiyu's appearance, it was not the first time he did so.Jiang Ling thought for a moment, kept this matter in his heart, and was going to ask the old nuns after returning to the palace, what is the origin of this King of Beijing.

But as soon as Jiang Ling returned to the palace, he heard that the imperial concubine was ill and had been ill for two full months.

And it is said that it is heart disease.

The word "heart disease" can be big or small, and under the ingenious pen of the imperial physicians, it can also be big or small.Mrs. Wang entered the palace immediately, two hours earlier than Jiang Ling returned to the palace.After careful calculation, two months from now, it is...

The time when the Russian Senate just replied.

Jiang Ling understood.

She thought of what Lin Daiyu said just now, and what the Queen Mother said in her dream a few days ago, and her mood was quite complicated.

Just as he was about to go back to his room to rest, suddenly a person came hurriedly in front of him, who looked quite familiar.When he approached Jiang Ling, he realized that it was actually Cai Yun who was beside Mrs. Wang.After less than half a year's absence, Caiyun has become a little more mature, and is no longer as submissive as before.The first time she saw Jiang Ling, Cai Yun said, "I met Chang Zai. Our wife wants to see you."

Caiyun called her Chang Zai, and her words were quite respectful, obviously she still didn't know what happened back then.

Jiang Ling thought for a moment, then said slowly: "But I'm also a little uncomfortable, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Mrs. Wang's kindness."
