Chapter Twelve

More than ten days passed by in the blink of an eye, and the Lantern Festival came in a blink of an eye.

I was wearing moon-white clothes, a fox fur vest of the same color as my coat, and my black hair was only loosely pulled into a bun. I was walking through the streets with Hongli and Chenghuan, who were very familiar with each other. The three of us were dressed very brightly. Passers-by kept looking at us with doubtful eyes. But then I thought again, there should be many dignitaries and wealthy people hanging around to admire the lanterns in rich houses today. Logically speaking, we should not be so conspicuous.

Following the gaze of passers-by, I turned around and saw that the eight palace guards following me, although dressed in casual clothes, were divided into two teams and lined up behind me. It was strange that they were not noticeable. Moreover, these eight people all had serious faces. Like someone out for fun.

He glanced at Hongli with a helpless smile, and he seemed to have discovered something was wrong. He turned around and whispered a few words, and the eight of them quickly blended into the crowd.

Cheng Huan did not care or pay attention to this at all, and looked around with surprise. Hongli smiled and shook his head, saying: "There is still some time before the night lantern viewing, where are you going to take us?"

Hongli and the others are no better than his elder brothers during the Kangxi period. They rarely leave the palace, so Hongli is not familiar with the surroundings of the capital. Thinking about history, he may be the emperor who likes to stay incognito the most. I don’t know why it is so different from him now. It will be so big.

I smiled and said, "You will know when you get there."

There seemed to be a hint of surprise in his eyes, and I was stunned. When I looked carefully, I found that he still had the same expression as before.

Suddenly, she thought of Concubine Xi's entrustment to her. She felt a little worried and said, "What kind of woman do you like? You're already old enough. It's time to find Fu Jin."

Hongli raised his head slightly to look at the gloomy and dark sky. A faint smile flashed across his face. My heart sank. He seemed to have something on his mind, but he immediately looked away, glanced at me sideways, and said, "You don't need to mess with me. "

Before I could speak again, he said again: "The place you lead will not disappoint us."

Knowing that he didn't want to talk about that topic, he sighed helplessly, looked forward, and saw the stall in the distance. He held Cheng Huan's hand tightly and said with a smile, "We're almost there. This place will not disappoint you."

The three of them sat down. Hongli frowned slightly, looked at the small stalls surrounded by the open air, and said, "This is the good place you said." He has always been very particular about food and has never eaten at such a roadside stall. Yi had a disappointed look on his face, but Cheng Huan had a curious look on his face and kept looking at the people next to him, showing no shyness like his daughter's family.

The old man selling dumplings had a very good memory. He stood by the stove and said with a smile: "The girl is here again, this time she brought her family?"

I smiled and said, "That's the delicious 'boiled dumpling' you made."

Hongli looked at me steadily, lowered his voice and said with a smile: "There are two scenes inside and outside the palace." Then he loudly said: "Old man, does she come here often?" The old man laughed and said: "Girl. This is the second time she comes, but her friends come often."

The old man should be talking about Zhang Yuzhi. Hongli looked at me with a strange look on his face and was about to ask. The old man proudly pointed forward and said with a smile: "Look, isn't the old customer here again?" Follow him. He looked forward and saw that they were the two girls he saw last time. They were still disguised as men.

I vaguely remembered that he was the daughter of a high-ranking official in the imperial court. I thought about it for a moment, and something clicked in my mind. The name "Li Rongbao" seemed familiar to me. I suddenly remembered the list that Concubine Xi had given me. His name was on it, but I didn't know how many Li Rongbao there were. Daughter. Seeing that I kept looking at them, Hongli glanced at them and said disdainfully: "They are just two women disguised as men, so why is it strange?"

I looked away and asked Hongli with a smile: "Do you know Li Rongbao?"

Hongli leaned towards me and said in a low voice: "Li Rongbao is from the Fucha family. He was adopted by a Han man named Li when he was young. He was Amma's attendant when he was young. Although he is a Manchu, he is

He has the elegance of the Han people, is very noble, and has an arrogant personality, but in Amma's eyes, he is a wise man and a talented man. In August of the 50th year of Kangxi, Amma recommended him as the manager of Chahar. Now that he has passed away, you

Why mention him for no reason?"

I looked at them again and then asked: "Do you know how many daughters he has?"

Hong Limo looked at me and said calmly: "There is only one woman, ranked ninth."

Listening to his smooth speaking, I wondered: "Are you familiar with their situation?"

Hongli's face darkened, and I was stunned. He then chuckled and said: "When Amma was the prince, he went to Li Rongbao's house and saw the words written by his daughter in his study. Amma praised him that day.

He said, "The pen peak has the bones of Ouyang Xun and the style of Liu Gongquan." He took a copy of it back to the house and called our brothers over the same day, admonishing him and saying, "This calligraphy was written by a nineteen-year-old girl. How can you do this?"

If you don’t try to make progress, you may not even be as good as a girl.’ Tell me, can I not be familiar with it?”

It turned out that there were so many allusions, so I turned my eyes and looked at the two girls. Maybe there were more people today, and they still hadn't waited to be seated. Seeing that they seemed impatient, I hurriedly raised my hand and said: "

You two, if you don't mind, you can sit together." The leading girl looked happy and smiled at the girl behind her. The two walked over one after another. After sitting down, the leading girl smiled calmly and said:

"Thank you girl."

The girl was very talkative. After the meal, the conversation became more and more interesting. Perhaps after knowing her identity, she still had some unfinished thoughts.

So, I said: "My name is Xiaowen. If the girl doesn't mind, how about we go shopping together." Several people introduced each other and it turned out that the girl's name was Fu Ya, which was a nice name.

Honglixu didn't bother talking nonsense with us girls, so he slowly lagged behind.

While talking, the group of people had arrived at the Chrysanthemum House. Looking at the door lintel, Fu Ya said: "Miss Xiaowen is really an elegant person, and even the place she came from is an elegant place." I chuckled and said: "This was also introduced by a friend.

I haven’t actually been here a few times.”

Standing behind him, Hongli was still silent, slightly surprised, and thought carefully, it had been like this ever since he heard Fu Ya's name. Could it be that he already knew in his heart who the woman in the list of Concubine Xi was? Could it be that

The woman in front of him really could be one of her concubines, or perhaps his future queen.

Fu Ya smiled and said, "Xiaowen."

I came back to my senses, looked back at Hongli, smiled at Fu Ya and said, "I hope you won't be disappointed here."

She pursed her lips and smiled, and I led everyone up to the second floor. Someone else was already sitting on the familiar seat. I was sighing in my heart. When he turned around, I felt happy again. It turned out to be Zhang Yuzhi.

He led everyone over, and after the group sat down, they introduced themselves noisily. Hongli was silent, with an indifferent expression, and sat quietly.

Ever since Hongli went upstairs, Zhang Yuzhi had been looking at him non-stop, but Hongli seemed unaware and kept looking out the window, turning a deaf ear to everyone's chatter and laughter.

Zhang Yuzhi smiled and said to Hongli: "Young Master seems to like to be quiet and doesn't like to talk."

Hongli turned back and twitched the corner of his mouth, but before the smile escaped, it was lost in his indifferent expression. Then he turned his head and looked out the window. Zhang Yuzhi was stunned, with a trace of embarrassment on his face. I smiled to help him out: "

His name is Jin Hong, and he doesn’t like to talk on weekdays.”

This name was thought up before leaving the palace. Aisin Gioro originally meant gold, so I chose the word "Hong" in his name.

Cheng Huan looked at Hong Li, squeezed over and sat down in confusion, looked out the window, and asked: "Hong..., Brother Hong, this street is too quiet, there is nothing outside, what are you looking at?" Hong Li smiled faintly and scratched his head.

He touched Cheng Huan's nose and said, "Of course it's to see the scenery."

Cheng Huan stroked his nose and pursed his lips, then tugged on his sleeves and begged softly: "Let's go out for a walk again. It's not easy for us to... come out once. You promised that this would be my compensation."

Hongli snorted softly, took Cheng Huan's hand, stood up and repeated: "Yes, this is compensation." There was something strange in his tone, and he knew the meaning of his words, so he smiled sarcastically at him.

Fu Ya, who had been silent for the whole time, had two small dimples appearing at the corners of her mouth. She smiled lightly at Hong Li and said, "Let Xiao Zhuo take the lady there."

Cheng Huan looked at Hong Li, then at Fu Ya's girl, hesitating for a moment, then let go of Hong Li, walked over, held Xiao Zhuo's hand, and said with a smile: "Hong..., my brother hasn't been out a few times.

"The two girls, one big and one small, had already gone downstairs. Hongli shook his head lightly and looked out the window again.

Zhang Yuzhi took a sip of tea and said: "My nephew has an extraordinary temperament and will definitely not be a thing in the pool in the future." I was stunned for a moment, but before I could recover, Hongli turned around and glanced at me with a smile.

Just when he didn't know how to explain it, Cheng Huan's sweet laughter could be heard from the stairs. How could this girl go and come back? He followed the sound and looked over. Yinzhen led Cheng Huan in front, Xiao Zhuo followed, and Gao Wuyong followed at the end.

Come up one after another.

I was surprised, there was a palace banquet in the evening, how could he come out of the palace. After thinking for a moment, my heart warmed, and he stood up with a smile. Hongli's face darkened and he also stood up. Fu Ya and Zhang Yuzhi looked at each other and smiled, and slowly

Got up.

Yinzhen glanced at Zhang Yu and glanced at me with a smile. I gave up my seat and he sat down beside me. Everyone sat down one after another, and Gao Wuyong bowed and stood behind Yinzhen.

Yinzhen's face was cold and majestic by nature. At this time, although there was a slight smile on his face, everyone's words also became cold.

Yinzhen glanced at everyone and whispered to Gao Wuyong: "Get out of here." Gao Wuyong responded humbly and hurried downstairs with his head slightly lowered. Zhang Yuzhi probably knew that I came from the palace, but even though he showed his face when he saw this scene

Slightly surprised, but not surprised. Although Fu Ya came from an official family, she was still a little moved.

Seeing this, Yinzhen smiled lightly and said, "You don't have to be restrained." Everyone began to talk happily, and Cheng Huan's jokes were added in the middle, making the atmosphere more lively.

Looking at the sky outside the window, I whispered: "What should I do at night?"

There was a softness in his dark eyes, and he smiled slightly and said: "I have made arrangements." I smiled and said nothing, thinking to myself, no matter what the arrangements are, you must attend tonight.

I sighed secretly in my heart, picked up the tea bowl on the table and took a sip, but suddenly I heard Zhang Yuzhi say: "My sister's tea tastes very good."

I was stunned and the tea in my mouth suddenly choked in my throat. I covered my mouth and coughed while looking at him quietly. His eyes were mocking and he shook his head slightly. He took off the handkerchief from Zi Chenghuan and handed it to me. I quickly took it and wiped it.

Wiped the corner of his mouth.

It's no wonder that Zhang Yuzhi made a mistake. Chenghuan called me aunt and called Hongli his brother, but Hongli called Yinzhen Ama. Anyone would think that Yinzhen is my eldest brother.

Zhang Yuzhi and Fu Yaxu both felt something was wrong and stopped talking. Chenghuan looked at everyone, then at me, and laughed softly, saying: "You are all wrong, in fact, my aunt is not..."

Hongli stopped talking and said to me with a slight smile on his face: "Mother, Ama rarely leaves the house and we don't have much time. Let's go out for a walk."

As soon as I heard "E Niang", I was stunned again and looked at Hongli in confusion, but Hongli's attention was not on me, but on Zhang Yuzhi. My heart was shocked, and when I looked over, Zhang Yuzhi's eyes were full of shock and pain.

Pale, he instantly understood in his heart why Hongli called him that, and also understood the meaning of Yinzhen's smile earlier.

Standing up, he generously stretched out his hand to hold Yinzhen's hand. He smiled at Zhang and Fu and said, "Excuse us for taking the first step." A hint of endearment flashed across Yinzhen's eyes, and then he returned to his cold expression and held his hand tightly.

He took my hand, let it go, and walked downstairs first.

The complacent people entered the customs, destroyed the Ming Dynasty and established the Qing Dynasty. The general policy of governing the country and the people was "Qing Dynasty followed the Ming Dynasty system", and always emphasized "translate Ming laws in detail and participate in the national system". Regardless of the "Qing Dynasty" in the three years of Shunzhi

"Lv Ji Jie Bylaws" or the "current regulations" in the 18th year of Kangxi's reign are just copies and extensions of Ming Dynasty laws, and there is no actual Qing Dynasty code. Since Yinzhen succeeded to the throne, he organized dedicated personnel to study the current situation and carefully revised it.

, finally completed at the beginning of the year, this is the "Annotation of the Qing Code", which is the first code since the founding of the Qing Dynasty. This code also became the blueprint for the later "Qing Code".

Since the law was promulgated throughout the country, Yinzhen has been in a happy mood. As a result, the maids and eunuchs serving around him also walked briskly and had smiles on their faces.

The snow fell earlier this winter, and even though it is February, it is already much warmer. A few days ago, the spring rain kept falling, and even though the sky has opened up today, the sky is still gray, and the yellowish sunlight is not covered by it.

Thin or thick floating clouds separated it, making it look blurry, half-bright and half-dark.

Holding the object in his hand, I stood quietly in the center of the Yangxin Hall and looked at him softly, our eyes facing each other. He seemed a little confused about my expression today. He stood up and went down the steps, came over and hugged me, smiling.

"Why are you looking at me like this, but you miss me?" Listening to his explicit words, my face burned, and I said, "I'll give you a gift." There was a bright light in his eyes, and he took the brocade in my hand.

The box was opened.

A pair of jade rings, one large and one small, appeared in front of us. This thing was normal at this time, but the uniqueness of this ring was that there was another piece of jade inlaid on top of the jade. The small, oval jade was completely transparent.

, just like the current crystal, a small magnolia flower is carved in the center of the jade, but the jade of the ring itself under the jade is lavender, and the two colors blend together, which is really beautiful.

He looked at it for a long time, frowned and said: "I have nothing to do to show my courtesy..."

Before he finished speaking, I made a move to take it back, but when he dodged it, I shook my head, let the earrings dangle under my ears, and said, "I am coming here and not going back. It is rude to think of you like this."

He chuckled lightly and said, "It's very unique, but a little unattractive." Seeing me suppressing my smile and tightening my face, he added, "But, I still like it very much."

Seeing him like this, I couldn't help laughing. After laughing, I said seriously: "This is a Valentine's Day gift."

He was stunned for a moment and asked, "What is Valentine's Day? What's so special about this gift?"

In fact, deep down in my heart, I have always longed to hold a unique wedding with the person I love, but I know that this wish will never be realized in this life, so I have to choose this specific day to give him this, but I can't explain it to him clearly.

The meaning of the ring. Then he was vague and said with a smile: "Valentine's Day is a holiday between lovers, and this ring represents that we are two people who love each other. If one party no longer loves each other, take off the ring and the other one will

People will understand in their hearts what it means.”

He suppressed a smile, stared at me and said, "Why does this sound like a hint?"

Knowing that he had misunderstood, I smiled softly and said, "Wear this ring and you will never take it off for the rest of your life."

With a straight face, he nodded and said quietly: "I know."

After saying that, he picked up the small one and put it on my finger. I slapped the back of his hand and said, "That's not how you wear it." Then, he explained in detail the details of wearing a ring and which finger it should be worn on.

..., after listening to my lengthy talk, he smiled and said, "How do you know so many weird things and never remember that there are such rules in the northwest?"

After a pause, he said: "It's because you are ignorant and ignorant."

He smiled disapprovingly, then put it on for me very gently and said, "I will never regret it in this life."

I was moved in my heart, and while giving it to him, I said: "I will have no regrets in my life."

He held my hands tightly and stared at me, with all the tenderness in his eyes. My cheeks were burning, I lowered my eyelids slightly, pushed him with a smile, and said, "There is still a piece of information about a case, go ahead and work on it."

He is hoarse
