C325 Serendipity (1/2)
Yes, all of the Emperor's sons are intelligent, all of the Emperor's daughters, even if they are gentle and quiet, like Duan Jing, are still able to display a strong side. The princess of the Great Qing is a righteous child, whether it is a prince or a princess, all of the Emperor's children are outstanding children!
In the King's Cage on the tallest rock garden, Rong'er was wrapped in a shawl, the leaves in the garden were already beginning to fall quietly. Autumn had also arrived, and it had been two months since she returned to the palace from outside the city.
Half a month ago, Princess Duan Jing officially married out of Mongolia to the second son of Duke Du Ling, and all her ostentatiousness was assigned to Princess Du Ling according to the criteria of marrying far away. Rong'er remembered that day, she was part of the Zhongcui Palace who sent her off.
During this time, Rong'er had also talked about Gerzang with Rong Xian, who was extremely worried, and over the past year, she had asked many people about Gerzang's character, and her evaluation of him was indeed not good. Rong Xian had also tried to persuade the emperor once again, but the emperor had insisted that the marriage was already set, and they could not break the agreement easily.
However, it was Duan Jing who displayed Princess Da Qing's strength. From start to finish, she wore a smile on her face, causing Rong'er to feel extreme heartache.
Today was the Double Sun Festival, and according to the customs of Qing Dynasty, the Emperor had already gone out to hunt, and all the palaces had sent chrysanthemums today. Flowercake, Rong'er sitting leisurely in the palace, suddenly remembered the Han Chinese custom of ascension, then interested, climbed up the pavilion.
”Mistress, the wind is blowing strongly on the mountain. You are wearing thin clothes, let's go down!” Xiao Qing advised.
Seeing Xiao Qing's diligent back, Rong'er could not help but ask, ”Xiao Qing, my feelings and what you said about the marriage with Gu Wenxing, are you sure you don't want it?”
Xiao Qing shook his head, ”The marriage between palace maid and the eunuchs is just a joke. Master has good intentions for this servant, but I really do not want it.”
Rong'er sighed lightly, ”I've only watched you enter the palace for a few years, and my heart aches for you. I wanted to find someone to take care of you.”
”Master, the friendship between Gu Wenxing and I is in our hearts. How is the marriage of a eunuch and a palace maid any different? Master, it's better this way, Xiao Qing thanks Master for your concern. ” Xiao Qing laughed lightly, ”Actually, when Master transferred this servant from a little flame girl to your side to take care of me, Xiao Qing only had one thought in his heart, and that was to take good care of Master. All these years, Master has already been unable to differentiate between master and servant, Xiao Qing only wants to stay by your side to take care of you and accompany you for the rest of his life.”
”Xiao Qing!” Rong'er stopped and turned around to hold Xiao Qing's hand, ”All these years, I have relied entirely on your company. You are so optimistic and open-minded, and you have greatly affected this palace!”
Xiao Qing smirked and made a face, ”Master, that's enough, I don't need Master to worry. Master has time, think about yourself more, hah! Now that the king had agreed to be pampered by the emperor, although the emperor still accompanied his master to the northern border, his master couldn't help but think about it. After all, his master … ”I'm no longer young …”
”So what?” , let's not talk about this anymore. Come, let's go to the Chengqian Palace to take a look, the king has promised to produce a baby, and Xiushan has no experience in producing a child, let's go see what we can help him with!
”Master, Xiao Qing really doesn't understand this. Don't you think about it for yourself? Do you really not care about the concubines giving birth to princesses? ” Xiao Qing sighed lightly.
Rong'er raised his head to look at Xiao Qing, ”I always knew me very well for you, why would you ask me such a question? You know, this example in my heart …”
”It's the Empress Renxiao!” Xiao Qing interrupted, ”This servant has heard master say it every day, and knows it by heart! How could Xiao Qing not know, but, for Master to do it, is there no regret? ”
