The weather was already a bit hot.
When Meili was awaiting orders outside Cining Palace, she stood at a moderate distance on the corridor.
The morning sun was scorching on her body, and there was a slight drop of sweat on her forehead, but she didn't dare to wipe it off casually.
When Yu'an came to take her in, a hint of approval appeared on Duan Ning's face.
In the past, Meili would always rush in rashly without waiting for word.
In fact, when her ancestors were meeting dignitaries, she would not wait outside honestly.
She would always run around in the yard, making a fuss.
No look, no rules.
Maybe she herself didn't know that her small tricks were indeed just childish tricks in the eyes of the aunts and grandmothers in the palace.
She was deliberately acting up like that just to show in front of everyone that her ancestors were very kind to her.
She could act so unscrupulously in the hope that others would look down upon her.
Little did they know that such ignorant and random behavior was even more disgusting and made people think she was ridiculous.
Now she probably understands.
"Go in."
She smiled lightly at Meili.
Xiaozhuang looked at the eunuch holding the luggage behind Meili.
He only had a small baggage, and felt pity in his heart.
This child Meili is really pitiful.
Especially now, being so submissive and well-behaved makes people feel even more distressed.
Perhaps, this medicine is too harsh on her, even hurting her vitality, Xiaozhuang feels a little sad.
"Come and drink some herbal tea, warm it up."
She asked Meili to sit down on the kang next to her, and couldn't help but wipe the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief.
Meili smiled and shook her head slightly.
"You will stay here with me during this period," Xiaozhuang frowned and ordered, "No one in your family will take good care of you or your body."
She looked at Meili's frail body, and her eyes returned to her pale but increasingly delicate face. , "It must be taken good care of."
After a pause, Xiaozhuang's tone was strange and his eyes looked away, as if he was a little apologetic, "It's not a big deal if you ask Yu'an and the others to teach you some principles and skills for living at home."
Meili stood up and thanked her.
She recalled what she heard from the men behind the slope of the paddock.
Her ancestor wanted to marry her off and everyone was unable to dodge.
She didn't know who would be so unlucky as to be chosen.
She smiled bitterly, no matter who it was, even though she had no family backing or a generous dowry, she would try her best to fulfill her duties as a wife and treat him like a relative.
She could only repay him in this way, and she could only repay him in this way.
There were greetings and bows outside, and Kangxi walked in with a faint smile among the kneeling crowd.
Meili also bowed to him respectfully, and prepared to exit with the servants in a decent manner.
"Sit down, there's no need to leave."
It was rare that the emperor smiled and spoke to her, although he didn't look at her and his tone was very casual.
Meili had no choice but to sit down and gently beat her ancestor's legs so that she would not be so embarrassed just sitting there.
The grandfather and grandson chatted for a while, and Kangxi suddenly smiled and said, "What do you think, ancestor, of this girl Suying?"
Xiaozhuang was slightly stunned, and he somewhat understood Kangxi's intention of not letting Meili retreat just now.
Although he couldn't bear to say it clearly in front of Meili, he couldn't go against his grandson's wishes.
"Fortunately, he has a docile temperament and is handsome."
She complimented him without saltiness.
"Now that military spending is tight, Jiangnan's finances are particularly important.
This matter must be done by Zamulang.
He has served in Jiangnan for many years and is the best choice."

Kangxi said a few words lightly.
Although Meili didn't understand much, she understood what the emperor meant.
The imperial court was going to war with Junggar, and money was needed everywhere.
More than half of the money in the national treasury came from Jiangnan, so a knowledgeable and knowledgeable person was needed to help the emperor.
Qing had brought in more money.
She couldn't imagine how deep the water here was, but she knew that Suying's Amma was such a person.
"Recently, Zamulang has been very effective as a director of the Ministry of Household Affairs.
I am trying to encourage his daughter by showing her a good match.
Among the royal family's nephews, there is no one who is suitable.
Only Jingxuan is suitable for his status, talent and appearance.
Come on, since the Mongolian marriage was canceled, his marriage has been put on hold, and his ancestors have also seen it.
Come on, Jingxuan and Suying also have intentions for each other."
Kangxi smiled, "I have told Jingxuan about this in private, and he is well aware of the stakes involved.
Putting aside these things, Suying herself also I like it very much, so I came to ask my ancestors to be a matchmaker.
Isn’t it more weighty, more auspicious and full than my grandson?”
Meili was still smiling and beating her ancestor's legs, her expression unchanged.
When she heard the emperor say Jingxuan's name, her hands did tremble slightly, but she tried her best to restrain herself and continued to beat her legs as if nothing had happened.
She shouldn't be surprised.
The emperor didn't let her go because he wanted her to hear these words.
The smile on her lips deepened slightly if she heard these words clearly.
In fact, the emperor was overly worried.
No matter how stupid she is, it took her two years to figure it out.
The emperor too overestimated her persistence.
She was also a girl.
How could she not give up on a man who had refused to even look at her for two years?
She spent the last few taels of money around her and begged the little eunuch to go to the emperor.
She tried to stop him and asked him to come and see her, but he didn't come.
He didn't even ask the eunuch to bring her back.
She didn't want to reminisce about the loss and sadness she felt when she pulled the little eunuch and asked "What did he say" over and over again, and the little eunuch impatiently answered "nothing" and "just said yes" over and over again, but at this moment, she felt The pain was still so clear in her heart.
Haven't she suffered enough?
She's already laughing at herself.
She suddenly realized that the emperor had actually hinted at her many times before, but she was too stupid to understand at that time, and just went her own way.
No wonder she was sad and no one sympathized with her.
Everyone was probably half-dead angry with her slowness and didn't bother to care.
She, she felt she deserved her misfortune.
Now, she understands, listens very thoroughly, and is very good, so that she will not be hurt or sad again in the future.
"Well, this is a happy event.
It's time for Jingxuan to get married."
Xiaozhuang nodded, but he really couldn't be enthusiastic in front of Meili.
"My grandson thought, after the spring hunting is over, I will ask my ancestors to issue an order to arrange the happy event before setting off to Junggar.
Both Zamulang and I will put aside a worry."
Xiaozhuang nodded.
After coming out of the dormitory, Meili went to the side hall to quietly pack up her belongings.
There were only a few things, and she packed them up in a short time.
She was very satisfied with her mood at the moment, calm and indifferent.

When she heard about his marriage, it was like hearing about a stranger.
Before she could take a sip of tea, the palace maid came again and asked her to go to the Empress Dowager.
Meili was a little confused.
The ancestor just told her to rest by herself.
Is there something urgent?
Before I even entered the door, I heard someone laughing and talking in a low voice.
There were guests.
In the palace, Xiaozhuang was supporting the palace maid standing beside her favorite flower plant with a smile on her face.
A woman with a familiar figure from the back was holding a small pot and carefully sprinkling water on the blooming flowers.
They talked and joked very affectionately, and even Aunt Yu'an, who was usually stern, rarely smiled and spoke in a low voice.
"Come here, girl."
Xiaozhuang nodded to Meili.
The woman turned around with a smile and looked at her with a kind smile.
Meili pondered for a moment and then remembered that she was Yonghe's mother-in-law.
Because she was very grateful to Yonghe for his kindness to her, she was particularly sincere when she asked him about his well-being.
"You're still good at tending flowers and plants."
Xiaozhuang walked back to sit on the kang and responded to Ru Fujin with a smile, "You are the only one in Yu'an."
"This slave just likes to play with these things."
Ying Ru Fujin chuckled and said modestly and flatteringly.
"As the saying goes, only women who can grow flowers will choose men.
This is where Yu'an suffers."
Xiaozhuang said teasingly, making both Ying Ru and Yu'an laugh.
Yu'an also defended: "That is the servant's sincerity to serve the ancestors all his life."
"Ying Ru, I'm so happy to have you back.
You come here often to take good care of the flower seedlings in my garden.
I can't trust those gardeners."
Xiaozhuang said while drinking tea, and Ying Ru smiled and agreed repeatedly. .
"This is little Meili.
It's time for her to leave the palace now.
She's the child I've always kept by my side."
Xiaozhuang stopped smiling and pointed at Meili lovingly.
"Teach her more and she will be easier to get along with in the future.
I trust your ability to teach a husband and raise a child.
Let's see how well you teach Yonghe's child."
Ying Ru Fujin was stunned, and he obviously caught something in the half-joking and half-serious words of the Empress Dowager.
Meili looked at Ying Rufujin's face slowly turning pale and the smile that froze at the corner of her mouth, and she felt a pang of regret in her heart.
Although the ancestor said it very tactfully, I understood everything that should be understood.
She even saw Ying Rufujin secretly looking at Aunt Yu'an with troubled eyes, as if asking her for confirmation, and Aunt Yu'an nodded helplessly.
It was only recently that she seemed to suddenly realize the painstaking efforts her ancestors had put into her.
Meili lowered her head and bit her lip.
Naturally, the ancestors were well aware of the rumors in the capital and the contempt and contempt in the clan.
He was afraid that she would get angry and suffer a loss if she married into another family.
After much deliberation, he chose Ying Ru to be her mother-in-law.
The face of the monk should be like that of Fujin.
Even if I don't want to in my heart, I will never treat her harshly.

She also deeply understood the embarrassment of her ancestors, and was afraid that Ying Ru Fujin would react strongly, and if things went wrong, she would be the one who suffered the embarrassment, so she gave such a subtle and roundabout hint, leaving enough room for her.
Meili clenched her fists.
She should really cherish her ancestors' hard work.
No matter how ignorant or obedient she was, she would not be able to forgive anyone.
If she had understood earlier, why would she be in the situation she is in today
