Jiang Ling and Baoqin haven't seen each other for a long time.

To be precise, since the imperial concubine accidentally fell into the water last time and was grounded by the queen mother, they have not seen each other again.Baoqin stayed in the imperial concubine's palace to accompany the concubine, while Jiang Ling had little contact with them because the well water did not interfere with the river water.Although there were indeed some bumps in the past, at least for a while, they maintained a superficial calm.

When Baoqin saw Jiang Ling, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and said to himself: "You really are..." Suddenly, as if remembering something, he took a half step back, bowed his knees and said, "Greetings, my lord." The performance is very different from last time.

Jiang Ling froze for a moment, glanced at the nuns behind him, and said, "Excuse me."

Baoqin thanked the young master, stood up, and glanced at Jiang Ling, seemingly hesitating to speak.

Jiang Ling didn't want to get too entangled with her, so he nodded to the nuns behind him, and passed Baoqin.

Baoqin stretched out his hand to stop her, but just as he raised his hand, he put it down helplessly.

Jiang Ling's footsteps paused slightly, his gaze passed over Baoqin's eyes, and he found that she was a little confused, and her appearance was much haggard compared to the beginning of this year. Unhappy.

Her footsteps paused for a while, and she passed Baoqin, without any intention of stopping.

The hand holding the piano was hanging stiffly by her side, and she wanted to call her to stop, but she didn't know what to say.Of course, Baoqin knew about the grievances between Jiang Ling and everyone in the Jia family.In addition to the incident at the end of last year, Jiang Ling and Mrs. Wang faced each other tit-for-tat, and there was simply no room for maneuver.No matter what you say now, it's useless.

Thinking of this, Baoqin took two steps back, bowed his knees and saluted: "Send off the little master."

Jiang Ling hummed lightly, and left without looking back or staying.

After Jiang Ling left, Baoqin stood up, looked at Jiang Ling's back, and sighed softly.

During the period of the emperor's southern tour, their lives in the palace were indeed very difficult.Although the intrigues and intrigues in the mansion have no direct relationship with them, Rongguo Mansion is the imperial concubine's natal family after all, and if there is trouble in the natal family, the life of the imperial concubine in the palace becomes difficult.In addition, Mrs. Wang came up with a bad idea last time and provoked all the concubines, concubines, concubines and concubines. Now life is even more difficult than at the end of last year.

But even though it was difficult, the mansion still did not intend to give up.

Baoqin stood there for a long time, until the flying snow gathered into a small pile on his shoulders, and his coat was faintly wet, then he suddenly came back to his senses and walked towards the imperial concubine's palace.As he walked, he suddenly let out a faint sigh.

If Mrs. Wang hadn't used that strategy, would things have been better?

She couldn't think of an answer.

Jiang Ling returned to the bedroom unimpeded all the way, only to find that there were two imperial physicians waiting for him in the palace.

At this time it was getting late, the Empress Dowager was resting in her own room after dinner, the two imperial doctors obviously came to see Jiang Ling.Since she returned to the palace, two imperial physicians have come to check her pulse every day, three times in the morning, three times in the evening and three times in the evening, which is more frequent than when she pretended to be sick in Yangzhou.Jiang Ling asked by chance, the imperial physicians said that Kangxi was worried about her illness because of the recent weather changes, so they asked them to come to check her pulse every day.

Jiang Ling leaned on the soft couch, stretched out a hand, and waited for the imperial physicians to see, hear and ask.

A piece of soft cloth was placed on her wrist, and the imperial doctors felt the pulse carefully, and then switched to the other hand to feel the pulse, and gave each other three or four times of glances, with a look of fear.Jiang Ling knew his body well, whether it was the scorching heat of summer or the severe cold of winter, it had little effect on him, so he asked with a smile, "Is there anything unusual?"

One imperial doctor glanced at the other, hesitantly said: "This..."

"That's what it says."

A bright yellow figure walked in from outside, with a faint tone of impatience, and compared with the previous time, it was more inexplicable.The two imperial physicians looked at each other, then took two steps back, bowed and said, "See Your Majesty."

Jiang Ling also got up to salute, and said the emperor Wan'an.

Kangxi slightly raised his hand, still with the same indifferent tone: "Excuse me. Tell me, what's the matter, little master?"

The imperial doctors looked at each other again, and only one of them said hesitantly: "Returning to the emperor, there should be no misdiagnosis the day before yesterday, but the time is still too short, we... can't make a diagnosis." After speaking, he knelt down towards Kangxi Come down, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Jiang Ling looked at Kangxi in surprise, then at himself, then at those imperial physicians.

——She is not sick, could it be a misdiagnosis?

Kangxi frowned slightly, but didn't say much, just said: "Go down."

The imperial physicians said aloud, and retreated in fear.Kangxi also turned away the other people in the room, and then smiled at Jiang Ling: "Have you gotten better recently? I heard from the imperial physicians that you seem to be a little tired, and the fire is rising, so you let Princess Beijing come to the palace .”

He walked up to Jiang Ling, propped his hands on both sides of the soft couch, and bent over to look at her with deep eyes.

Jiang Ling leaned back slightly, and said with some doubts: "I..." I'm not sick.

Suddenly she thought that before the southern tour, Kangxi seemed to let the empress dowager stop her for a while. At that time, it was because Yipin, Depin and Huipin were fighting fiercely with that noble concubine, and because she had just erased the empress dowager. Lin Daiyu's name on the brochure was lost, and she needed to temporarily avoid the limelight.Now that Kangxi stopped him, could it be because of similar reasons?

Kangxi bent down to look at her, and said with a smile, "What's wrong with you?"

Jiang Ling shook his head, suppressing the strange feeling in his heart again.She stroked her earlobe, and asked softly, "I'm wearing this, is it okay?" Although she had confirmed it two or three times the day before yesterday, she was still a little inexplicably uneasy.

Kangxi smiled again, put her whole palm in his arms, and said softly, "Put it on, it won't get in the way."

"... Oh." Jiang Ling responded, and suppressed the little doubt that had just arisen.Since Kangxi said it's not a hindrance, it shouldn't be a hindrance to anything. When he saw Baoqin just now, Jiang Ling had also paid attention to Baoqin's reaction, but Baoqin didn't seem to notice the pair of pearl earrings. This proves that although the two South Pearls are a bit eye-catching, they are not ostentatious.

At least in the palace, it can indeed be worn on the body openly.

Kangxi brushed her cheeks, and suddenly laughed twice.

"You..." He just got up, then stopped again, and said in a low voice, "Sit with me for a while."

Jiang Ling nodded, stood up as said, and sat with Kangxi for a while.Kangxi was still the same, sitting in the candlelight and looking at Jiang Ling, with a faint smile in his eyes, and some inexplicable and complicated emotions.Jiang Ling sat across from him for a while, looked at himself and at him, wondering what happened to Kangxi, could it be that his face was stained with ink?

"Ling'er." He raised his hand, stroked her cheek lightly, and said in a low voice, "I have something to tell you, but I can't say it right now. After the Ministry of Rites drafts a decree, I will... ...Forget it, other things will be discussed later. But now I can tell you that in two days, the concubine's order will come down. Don't run around, stay in the house obediently, so that no one can be found when you get there .”

Jiang Ling blinked: "I, Concubine Feng?"

Kangxi looked at her with a smile and nodded slightly.

Jiang Ling blinked again, and began to look around wildly: "Why did your majesty suddenly..."

Wait, so everything makes sense.Kangxi asked the Ministry of Rites to draft a decree to promote her status, and also asked her to stay in the house obediently and not to run around, lest Manager Liang come to pass the decree, but can't find her.Thinking about it carefully, there seems to be nothing strange about it.

As for why Kangxi suddenly became a concubine, he is the emperor, so he can do whatever he wants.

Jiang Ling thought about the matter before and after, and felt that everything was reasonable, so he was relieved.

She thanked the emperor aloud, and revealed the day's affairs.Originally, I wanted to ask La Aunt Su Ma in my dream at night, but now that I knew it, I didn't have to take the risk of being exposed and lure La Aunt Su Ma into my dream.Jiang Ling thought for a while, and thought that this matter was very appropriate, and talked with Kangxi for a while, and then respectfully sent Kangxi out.

Before leaving, Kangxi warned again: "During this time, don't run around."

Jiang Ling nodded.I know, I'm afraid that no one will be found when the decree is delivered.She said yes, sent Kangxi out the door, lay down on the bed, stared at the empty ceiling in a daze.After a while, he took out a rhombic mirror from under the pillow, but after looking at it for a while, he put it back under the pillow again.

Forget it, since you have already promised Kangxi not to run around in these two days, it is better to stay in the house obediently.

Jiang Ling lay on the bed for a while, then washed and rested early.

That night, she didn't dream of Aunt Su Ma, but she dreamed of Baoqin.

Jiang Ling was slightly surprised for a moment, then he was relieved.Now she almost never dreams again, unless it is to pull others into her dream.Seeing Baoqin in the evening, and what Lin Daiyu said during the day, she couldn't help thinking more.After thinking about it, he unconsciously brought Baoqin into his dream.

Baoqin should still be asleep, his expression is a little dazed, and he doesn't want to be as cautious as he was during the day.

Jiang Ling walked towards Baoqin, but Baoqin didn't seem to see her, passed her by, and trotted all the way to the front.Judging from the direction she was running, she probably wanted to leave the palace and return to Rongguo Mansion.Jiang Ling thought for a while, then followed, and created a bigger dream, with a faint fragrance of plum blossoms, covering a radius of more than twenty miles, and by the way, the person Baoqin wanted to see Each of them was pulled into their dreams.

There was light snow falling outside, and it was hard to tell whether this was reality or a dream.

Jiang Ling followed Baoqin all the way back to Rongguo Mansion, and saw her staggering in through the back door, ran into a dilapidated room, squatted down slowly against the wall, hugged her knees, her expression was still quite dazed.

Jiang Ling is very familiar with the furnishings in this room, it is the place where the eldest maid of the Rongguo Mansion lives.

Therefore, this should be Baoqin's residence before entering the palace.

"How did things turn out like this..." Baoqin murmured, "Second Wife wants to let Second Master Bao become a nobleman, and let the eldest girl help out in the palace. How can she help with this matter, let alone It is said that the big house is still there, and the second wife can't hold back just a second master Lian and a descendant of Master Zhu. Although the old lady is indeed partial to the second master Bao and the eldest girl, but This this……"

Holding her head in her hands, Baoqin thought hard for a long time, and suddenly murmured: "Could it be because Lian's second grandma fell out of favor, and my uncle dismissed her office again, that's why the second wife came up with such thoughts. But uncle and us In the mansion... Oh my God, the eldest girl has already crossed the river like a mud bodhisattva, and she can't protect herself. If she gets involved in these family disputes, how can she survive? The uncle is also the eldest girl's uncle anyway, why did he die? It's embarrassing for the eldest girl. Could it be that uncle's house is more sad than our house?"

Jiang Ling stopped and stood outside the room, listening to Baoqin muttering to himself in the room:

"That should be the case. I heard that Second Grandma Bao lived in the mansion for a long time. After a long period of difficult life, she finally won the favor of the second wife again by relying on her own ability. The Xue family is unreliable, Second Master Bao I don't live up to my expectations, but I've just set my mind on the eldest girl. Tomorrow, Second Mistress Bao will go to the palace to visit the eldest girl, which is not a good thing."
