Chapter 252 Looking for Kangxi and Peeping at Nanxi
"Fu Jin, what are you looking for?" Tong Jia Wanru's personal maid Hong'er looked at Fu Jin looking around and couldn't help asking.
Tong Jia Wanru was looking for the emperor's cousin. She had just heard someone say that the emperor's cousin had got off the carriage, so how could she not find him?
She was getting irritated and anxious, and when she heard Hong'er's words, she immediately exploded. She lowered her voice and yelled:
"Don't call me Fu Jin, I'm not Fu Jin!"
Hong Er was startled, not understanding why Fu Jin did not allow her to call her Fu Jin, and subconsciously asked:
"What should I call you, then?"
She was the maid chosen by Madam Tongjia as a dowry for Fu Jin when she got married. Because she was honest and not smart, she was never given an important position. She was not supposed to accompany Fu Jin out of the carriage, but because her sister Lu Ju, who was beside Fu Jin, suffered from severe motion sickness and Nanny Song was also feeling a little unwell, so they asked her to follow.
Tong Jiawan was stunned. She didn't know what Hong'er should call her. Anyway, she didn't want to admit the fact that she was married and not to the emperor's cousin. If she accepted the title of Fu Jin, she was afraid that her fate would never be changed.
So she gritted her teeth and said angrily:
"You can't call me Fujin anyway."
Hong'er was puzzled, but seeing Fu Jin's vicious look, she shrank her head and dared not say anything more.
Tong Jia Wanru glared at Hong'er and ignored her, looking around again. Not far from the two of them, the servant beside Guo Luoluo Jirgalang saw them and hurriedly reminded his master in a low voice.
"Master, don't you see that's Fu Jin?"
Hearing this, Guo Luoluo Jirgalang frowned and looked over. As expected, he saw Tong Jia Wanru, who was dressed up gorgeously. A trace of disgust flashed across his eyes, but disappeared in an instant, and his expression returned to calm and indifferent.
The servant asked doubtfully:
"Why do I feel like Fu Jin is looking for something? Is she looking for you? Do you want me to remind Fu Jin that you are here?"
Guo Luoluo Jirgalang and Tong Jia Wanru have been married for several months. Although they have not consummated their marriage yet and have very little time together, and even when they do spend time together, they dislike each other, but Guo Luoluo Jirgalang has some understanding of Tong Jia Wanru's personality.
She looks calm, tolerant, generous and dignified, but that is just an appearance. In fact, she is conceited, arrogant, and vain. More importantly, she does not recognize her identity and has no self-awareness.
Don't think that he doesn't know why she doesn't want to consummate her marriage with him. She is already married but still thinking about the emperor and wants to be a high and mighty queen. Ha, it's just a foolish dream. If the emperor really wanted to take her into the harem, he would have canonized her into the palace long ago.
They were framed that day, caught red-handed, and granted marriage on the spot, but it was just the emperor's way of going with the flow.
This was the conclusion he came to after reflection. It was ridiculous that Tong Jia Wanru was still dreaming. Just thinking of that day, Guo Luoluo Jirgalang couldn't help but think of the Second Princess Shi, no, now it's Empress Xian.
He pursed his lips, and the face of Concubine Xian appeared in his mind. It was just a quick glance, but that face was still clearly remembered.
After all, it was Concubine Xian who framed him, dismissed him from his post, and caused him to lose the emperor's favor, but he didn't blame her at all.
He didn't know why he was like this. Guo Luoluo Jirgalang looked a little confused and annoyed, and unconsciously clenched his hands behind his back.
On the other hand, Tong Jia Wanru's whereabouts were reported to Li Si'er, who was so angry that he quickly sent someone to invite Tong Jia Wanru back to the carriage.
I haven't reached Mulan Paddock yet, and haven't climbed onto the Emperor's bed yet. I can't let anyone see me, or all my efforts will be wasted.
Here, Guo Luoluo Jierhalang finally came to his senses under the servant's puzzled eyes, coughed lightly, and just in time saw Tong Jia Wanru walking back, and said calmly:
"Fujin may be tired and is looking at the scenery. Now she is going back. Let's go too."
The servant looked up and saw Fu Jin walking back. He scratched his head in embarrassment and was about to speak when he suddenly exclaimed:
"Hey, Master, do you think that is the Emperor and Empress Xian?"
Guo Luoluo Jirgalang, who was about to turn around and leave, heard the servant's words and subconsciously looked over. It was indeed the emperor and...Empress Xian.
Empress Xian's face remained unchanged, her body was thin, and she looked a little frail in the cool breeze, but her complexion was much better than before. At this moment, she was holding a bunch of begonias in her hand, which were bright red. I don't know what the emperor said, but she suddenly smiled with her eyes curved.
This scene, under the bright yellow sunset light, seems to be covered with a layer of halo, which is very beautiful.
Shi Nanxi was telling Kangxi that when they arrived at the Rehe Palace, she would put the begonia in her arms in a vase.
“I wonder if the begonias on the road will become stale?”
Kangxi held her hand to prevent her from falling due to the uneven road.
"No, it's only an hour's journey from here to the Rehe Palace. We'll get there soon. Even if they're not fresh by then, there are many kinds of flowers planted in the Rehe Palace, including begonias. I can have someone pick some fresh begonias for you."
Shi Nanxi said stubbornly:
"I want this bunch of begonias. I'll ask Madam Yang to take good care of them and make sure they don't wilt."
Kangxi was a little puzzled and glanced at the begonia in Shi Nanxi's arms. These were wild begonias they had just discovered on the outskirts of the forest. Seeing that she liked them, he picked some for her. He didn't see anything special about them. Why did the little girl like them so much?
If you don't understand something, you should ask it. Shi Nanxi, who lowered her head, answered without hesitation:
"Because this bunch of begonias was picked by the emperor himself for me. I like it very much and want to keep it for a long time."
Kangxi was stunned. So that's what happened. For a moment, his heart felt sour and swollen, and a surge of emotions gushed out. He didn't say anything, but he tightened his hands around the little girl, and there was a tenderness in his eyes that he himself didn't even notice.
At this time, Shi Nanxi seemed to be thinking about something, and felt as if someone was looking at her, but when she looked up, she saw no one. Kangxi saw Shi Nanxi looking around and asked worriedly:
"what happened?"
Shi Nanxi suppressed her doubts.
Shaked his head:
"It's okay. It's getting late. We're about to leave. Let's get back to the car."
Guo Luoluo Zirgalang, who was almost discovered, turned around and walked back, with his back to people and a look of annoyance on his face.
This time he was able to come to Mulan Paddock because he had finally begged his father for an opportunity. He was determined to perform well, show his talents, and regain the emperor's favor, and there must not be any mistakes.
If others were to notice the misunderstanding, he would not only lose his life, not to mention any chance of survival, but also might implicate Empress Xian.
He had been plotted against last time, so he had to be more cautious this time. Thinking of this, he suppressed his complicated emotions and got into the carriage as usual.
After making up his mind, he never looked at Concubine Xian again and stayed away from her.
However, Guo Luoluo Jirgalang did not know that his every move was being monitored. In Pingpin's carriage, Zhener took advantage of the absence of Nanny Shang and hurriedly reported something to Pingpin's ear. After listening, Pingpin became interested.
"Oh, really? It seems that I am not wrongly accusing Guo Luoluo Jierhalang. He does have ulterior motives towards Concubine Xian. I wonder what Concubine Xian's attitude towards Guo Luoluo Jierhalang is?"
The last sentence Pingpin said was very meaningful.
Zhen'er said with a smile:
"You will know when Empress Xian meets that Guoluo Luojirgalang."
Pingpin thought of some scene and smiled with her hands covering her lips:
"Yeah, we'll know then."
