[Red Mansion+Qing Chuan] The heroine comes from the last days

Ah.

Kangxi laughed unknowingly, a light kiss landed on the side of her neck, and unscrewed a buckle with his fingertips.

Jiang Ling softly called out to the emperor, took his palm, and pressed it on her waist.

The waist is still slender, and she has been pregnant for more than a month, but she still hasn't shown her pregnancy.Kangxi couldn't feel the tiny pulse beating through a thin layer of underwear, but he understood what she meant.A gentle kiss fell on her ear, but the movement stopped.

Jiang Ling opened his eyes, but his eyes were slightly hazy.

Kangxi leaned over and stared into her eyes, his breathing gradually became gentle, and he indulged himself in the twilight of the room.After an unknown amount of time, the two of them rolled down together on the soft quilt, with Kangxi holding her waist, and she was pillowed in Kangxi's arms, eyes half closed, counting the buttons in front of her one by one, Occasionally raised his head and looked at Kangxi's side face.

The prime of an emperor.

For some reason, these words suddenly appeared in Jiang Ling's mind.

Kangxi didn't know what she was thinking in her heart, the feeling just now made people nostalgic.After a while, he turned to look at Jiang Ling sideways, his eyes focused, and gently brushed her long hair.An indescribable feeling spread from the bottom of my heart, warm and melting, melting his whole body into it.

Never knew that I would love her so much.

Even two days ago, he had truly confided his heart in front of his grandmother.

Kangxi's eyes became gentler, he kissed her forehead, and said softly, "Go to sleep."

He just learned from the imperial physicians that Jiang Ling was a little lethargic during this time, and his energy was not as good as before.

Jiang Ling struggled in her heart for a moment, then nodded, leaned into Kangxi's arms, and slowly closed her eyes.

"emperor."

"Ok?"

"The Empress Dowager once said that I am afraid that I will make the Emperor..."

An index finger was lightly pressed on her lips, and then a low and gentle voice sounded in her ears: "I know. As early as when I first ascended the throne, the Holy Mother Empress Dowager had earnestly warned that as an emperor, you should State affairs are the most important thing, and the old affairs of the late emperor are a warning. At that time, the empress dowagers of the two palaces stood side by side, and the empress dowagers also knew about Er Niang's warnings."

Jiang Ling opened his eyes and looked at Kangxi in surprise.She didn't expect him to tell herself these old things.

Kangxi looked at her with a smile, gently brushed her long hair, and said gently: "I also personally promised the empress dowagers of the two palaces, 'I will not repeat the mistakes of the late emperor', and this is why the accident happened the day before yesterday. This matter was originally a secret in the palace, and since Er Niang passed away, no one has mentioned it. But I didn't expect that two days ago, the Empress Dowager suddenly summoned you and said such a thing."

So the day before yesterday, he had a detailed discussion with the Empress Dowager, and then another detailed discussion with the Queen Mother.

The result of the conversation was that the Empress Dowager was going to visit the Changchun Palace, but the emperor was not allowed to visit in person, let alone interfere.

Jiang Ling was slightly surprised for a moment, then relieved.

No wonder the Queen Mother would talk to her alone, no wonder Kangxi would leave Manager Liang behind.

"But fortunately, today is safe and sound." Kangxi held her in his arms and said with a low smile, "I have been worrying for nothing for two days."

Jiang Ling leaned against his arms, unknowingly, fell asleep again, and heard Kangxi whisper: "Go to sleep. Nothing will happen until tomorrow." Then she turned her head and looked at Jiang Ling He kissed lightly on the forehead.

Jiang Ling closed her eyes, leaned against Kangxi's arms, and asked vaguely: "Is the emperor going to get up early tomorrow?"

Kangxi smiled and replied: "Of course I want it."

Although I dealt with a lot of things during the day, those things were numerous and complicated, and they were all very tricky.Even if there are a few capable ministers around to help, there is still a sense of powerlessness.Before entering the palace just now, he had ordered someone to wake him up at Yinshi tomorrow morning, just like this morning.He slept well last night, so today's energy is a little more than usual.

Hearing this, Jiang Ling stopped disturbing Kangxi, and slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep.

A very faint fragrance spread in the room, very much like the calming incense lit in the palace.

Kangxi's drowsiness suddenly became more intense, and the whole person seemed to calm down in the quiet dark night, the surrounding was warm and harmonious, and even the sound of wind and snow became inaudible.Still the same as last night, an empty dream, the ultimate peace and tranquility.

He slept deeply, and it was not until he was awakened the next day that he woke up from the dream with difficulty.

He was still as refreshed as yesterday morning, as if he had slept for four or five hours, and the anxiety accumulated during the day had quietly dissipated.The little eunuch stood aside with his head down, Kangxi looked down at Jiang Ling's sleeping face, and there was a faint smile in his eyes.

It's time to get up.

Kangxi lay down for a while, then got up and changed immediately.The gap in the corner of the wall has just passed Yinshi, and it is still dark outside, and it is not yet dawn.He nodded to the little eunuch who was on duty at night, and the two of them walked out without a sound, then closed the door again, and left Changchun Palace.

Jiang Ling opened his eyes, looking out at the Forbidden City through the thin gauze curtain.

It is still not dawn.

Obviously, Kangxi's busy days are not over yet.

Jiang Ling stared at her fingertips for a while, then suddenly sighed again.

After Kangxi left, she fell into a drowsy sleep and came back to the cage. She was called to get up by the nuns, as usual, groomed, had a meal, and waited for the imperial physician to diagnose her pulse.But today there is one more thing than yesterday, and that is to follow the four female officials and learn how to make a standard wooden and clay sculpture.

Jiang Ling looked at the four female officials expressionlessly according to what he had planned last night, his body was straight, more dignified and solemn than the Queen Mother's standard yesterday, it was a perfect piece of wood carving.Even the strictest female officer can't find any flaws.

The female officials looked at each other, unable to figure out why after one night, Concubine Yun suddenly changed her appearance.

But that's good, at least their work has become easier.The female officers corrected some of Jiang Ling's micro-expressions, making her expressionless face more standard and more intimidating to strangers.Even today's goal has been accomplished.

Jiang Ling thought to himself, if he used this expression to meet the empress dowager, Bao Buqi had just had a face-to-face meeting, and he would be kicked out by the nuns beside the empress dowager.

However, surface work still needs to be done.

According to the orders of the ladies, Jiang Ling carried out the great cause of being expressionless to the extreme.On that day, when the female officials reported to the Queen Mother, they were full of praise for Jiang Ling's performance, and at the same time, they gave themselves a hard credit.

In this way, all three parties are satisfied.

After practicing the expressionless face for two full days, Jiang Ling heard a shocking news on the third day.

Rongguo Mansion was safe and sound during this turmoil, but Ningguo Mansion next door was impeached thirteen times by the Ministry of Officials and Yushi.

Among the thirteen impeachment papers, the first one is to impeach Jia Jing, the old man of Ningguo Mansion. When he was in office, he was obsessed with alchemy all day long, and he left all his affairs to his staff. He didn't even see him at the end of the year The figure, I don't know where it went.The second is to impeach Uncle Zhen of the Ningguo Mansion, and it is also a vegetarian meal in the corpse.The third way is still to impeach Uncle Zhen of the Ningguo Mansion, revealing what happened to Qin Keqing back then, and giving the Ningguo Mansion a hard blow.The fourth is to impeach Mr. Rong from the Ningguo Mansion, and the charge is also a corpse meal.The fifth way is to impeach the evil slaves raised in the Ningguo Mansion. They ran rampant in the village on weekdays and injured many tenants, but no one dared to report to the officials.The sixth way is to impeach him for bribing the superiors... The rumors outside have spread throughout the capital, at least in Jiangling's Changchun Palace, he heard six or seven different versions, and there are at least two of the thirteen impeachment scriptures. A dozen charges.

This time, it was not just the rain that was about to come, but the real storm.

Of course, everyone in the Ningguo Mansion is in danger. While trying their best to keep the masters in the mansion, they sent all the servants who usually have a bad reputation to the officials, declaring that the Ningguo Mansion will not lie even if it rains. .But these steps are too late. The No. 14 document impeaching Ningguo Mansion for tax evasion has been handed over to Kangxi's royal case.

Of course, there were three identical copies, which were sent to the desks of Prince An, King Beijing, and Ming Zhongtang respectively.

Kangxi was undoubtedly furious, and submitted these impeachment papers to the Ministry of Punishment, so that the Ministry of Punishment could decide the prison and sentence, and cut off all possible avenues for intercession.Rongguo Mansion originally wanted to clear the way for Ningguo Mansion, but it was rejected by the boss.

But King Jing's account has not been settled yet.In the city of Beijing, I don't know how many people can't sleep at night.

Jiang Ling listened to the ups and downs of the rumors, thought for a moment, and then asked: "What about the Rongguo Mansion?"

The confidant mother went outside to inquire about the news, and then came back to tell Ling: "The Rongguo Mansion is much more fortunate. At first, because the Rongguo Mansion heard the news, they sold Jinling's ancestral property early in the morning, cutting off many impeachments. Lu Zi took a moment to catch his breath. Then, the Rongguo Mansion ransacked the Grand View Garden twice, and cleaned up all the things that could be sold and exchanged for money in the mansion. All the holes in the Ministry of Households were completely blocked. This saved him from death. But after this incident, the Rongguo Mansion has been severely damaged, and it may take three to five years before it can regain its former honor."

Jiang Ling was startled for a moment when he heard the words.I didn't expect them to actually, really do this.

Mammy said again: "Just now I heard that this time, the daughter-in-law of the Rongguo Mansion, the Second Mistress of the Second Household Bao, disregarded the persuasion of the people in the mansion, and sold all the things in the mansion. The accounts were evened out. Although the name of Rongguo Mansion is still there, the inside is already... Now everyone says that thanks to Second Grandma Bao's great contribution, the mansion is not so miserable."

When Mammy said this, she suddenly patted her forehead again, and said, "Oh, this servant reminds me, Second Grandma Bao came from Xue's family in Jinling, and she also experienced the same thing at the beginning of the year, so I have to empathize with you. Thinking about other daughter-in-laws, they are not so neat."

Jiang Ling recalled Xue Baochai's astonished expression in Changchun Palace that day, and couldn't help sighing.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Wang didn't do what she said, but Xue Baochai did.

The nanny called "Mother" several times in succession, but Jiang Ling didn't respond, so she thought that Jiang Ling was thinking about the old love, and was a little dazed, so she persuaded: "Miss, let me listen to my old body. Back then Our master is close to Rongguo Mansion only because he and the second master of Rongguo Mansion are colleagues in the officialdom. But now our master has been transferred to Lingnan, and we have had no contact with Rongguo Mansion for two or three years. , and there is no closeness, this old friendship should be light or light, don't end up hurting the girl."

Only then did Jiang Ling come to his senses, shook his head lightly and said, "No need to worry, Mammy, I'm fine."

The mother sighed and said, "I have followed the girl for so many years, and I have already figured out the girl's temper. The girl is transparent, but sometimes she gets into the horns and can't get out. Girl, if you want to break it, you will break it. "

A sound of "girl and old body" brought Jiang Ling back to the time when he was not married.

Jiang Ling smiled, thanked Mammy, and said: "I remember what Mammy said. But in the past two days, apart from the impeachment of Kai Ningguo Mansion, what other major events have happened outside?" Some As for the news, she, the concubine Yun, couldn't find out, but when the nuns were chatting, they could get a lot of definite news from other people's mouths.

Especially these days, almost all the gossip in the capital has spread.

The nanny said: "It's nothing special. There are rumors inside and outside the palace. Although the Ningguo Mansion was impeached this time, most of them will be the same as before. There is a lot of thunder and rain, and a few powerful slaves are selected to take the blame to appease the public." The people are angry. As for those masters, they will cut their posts and fine their salaries, and suffer some flesh and blood. As for the Rongguo Mansion, they will not be able to touch the foundation. Oh, I heard this morning that when the King of Beijing was investigating the case , Somehow, I suddenly found out a few old cases in Jinling, and pointed the finger at Jinling's official amulet."
