When the emperor returned to Luan, there was another lively scene in the Forbidden City.
In the same month, the imperial edict came down and granted marriage to Guarjia, the daughter of the doctor Ahazan, to the thirteenth elder brother.
The thirteenth elder brother built a palace and chose a date to get married.
This imperial edict was undoubtedly another thunder.
Everyone in the palace had their own thoughts, some were happy and some were suspicious.
Among Taishan and his party, the Thirteenth Prince took all the glory, and even the Crown Prince was outclassed.
Now that he has just returned to the palace, Kangxi has decreed a marriage and a palace.
Everyone knows what this means to an adult elder brother.
Zhu Rui and Thirteenth Brother met again half a month after the imperial edict.
That day, Zhu Rui was ordered to take a rare trip to Yangxin Palace and met the Thirteenth Brother who had just come out of Qianqing Palace.
The Thirteenth Brother probably didn't see Zhu Rui, but Zhu Rui saw him coming out of Qianqing Palace.
It didn't matter much, so he called the Thirteenth Brother.
The thirteenth elder brother turned around and saw that it was Zhu Rui.
His face was a little unnatural.
He couldn't stand up or walk until Zhu Rui came closer.
Before Zhu Rui could speak, he said: "Fourth brother has something to do with me, so I'll leave first."
He was about to leave.
Zhu Rui hurriedly grabbed him and said: "Why is it so urgent?
It's so easy to meet him, and I don't even have the time to say a few words."
Brother Thirteen wanted to say something else, but he was so evasive and hesitant to speak, which made Zhu Rui notice that something was wrong.
She said: "What's wrong with you?
I see you very leisurely on weekdays, but today you seem to be burning with anger."
Normally.
Why, after getting married, there will be more errands."
As soon as he said this, Brother Thirteen seemed anxious, but he just shouted "Zhu Rui" and said nothing more.
There must be something wrong, Zhu Rui was sure this time, she simply let go and said: "Since the Thirteenth Master has something important to do, I don't want to waste my time.
Thirteenth Master, please go slowly, slave."
Resign."
Zhu Ji blessed himself and turned to leave.
This time, it was the Thirteenth Brother who stopped her.
He turned to Zhu Rui and said, "Zhu Rui, don't be angry with me.
After the emperor's decree comes, do I still want to resist it?"
Hearing what Brother Thirteenth said, Zhu Rui stopped.
The words made her confused.
She raised her head and asked, "What does the Emperor's imperial edict have to do with me?
How did you start resisting the edict?"
The thirteenth elder brother was startled when he heard this, and then he said: "This is a marriage."
After hesitating for a while, he said uncertainly, "You are not reluctant at all?"
Zhu Rui asked him and was stunned.
She said: "The emperor has granted you a marriage, and Fujin is from the Guarjia family.
This has nothing to do with whether I am willing or not."
Brother Thirteen didn't reply for a while, then he suddenly smiled, and he said with a smile: "It's hard for me to hide from you these days, and somehow I told you that I overestimated myself, but you didn't know anything about it."
Take it to your heart."
He said and flicked the bamboo basket.
Zhu Rui opened his hand and said with a smile: "You narcissistic Thirteenth Master, let me tell you, why haven't I seen you since I came to the south?

Are you avoiding me on purpose?"
Brother Thirteen hurriedly said: "How could this be intentional?
I'm not afraid of hurting the little girl's heart?"
Zhu Rui ignored his rhetoric, spread his palms and said, "Bring it here."
"What?"
Brother Thirteen looked at Zhu Rui's palm in a daze.
"Hey, someone promised Qiu Xi to come back and give him a surprise.
Now that he has passed the southern tour, why is there no sign of him?"
Zhu Rui said without looking at the thirteenth brother.
Brother Thirteen smiled and opened Zhu Rui's hand and said, "You are a greedy girl.
You have encountered such a good thing as the Southern Tour, what else do you want?"
"Then how can it be that the southern tour is the emperor's will, how can it be regarded as yours?"
Zhu Rui Buyi.
Brother Thirteen smiled and took out a brown rainstone from his purse, handed it to the bamboo basket and said, "I thought I would give it to you another day, but you girl have to come to the door yourself."
Zhu Rui played with the stone, and it felt cool in his hands.
There were milky white lines on the stone, which actually looked like a dragon.
Zhu Rui said happily: "This is a naturally formed pattern."
The thirteenth elder brother nodded and said: "I remember you were born in the 27th year of Kangxi, the same year as my fourteenth brother, and you should be a dragon.
Last time in Mount Tai, I found such a stone, and it was too much to look at.
Keep it for you."
Zhu Rui put the Taishan Stone into her small purse like a treasure and said: "What is too much to look at?
It is obviously very beautiful.
Thank you for the gift, Master Thirteen.
I like it very much."
Brother Thirteen looked at Zhu Rui's careless smile and felt a little dazed for a moment.
He was stunned for a while and said, "Why don't you go quickly if you're not on duty?"
Only then did Zhu Rui remember that Kangxi still had the emperor's mandate, and he said hurriedly: "Oh, I forgot about serious things while talking to you."
With that, he hurriedly went to the Yangxin Hall.
After walking a few steps, Zhu Rui stopped again, turned around and saw Brother Thirteen still standing in the distance.
She walked back to Brother Thirteen and said, "Master Thirteen, can you give me another gift?"
Brother Thirteen smiled and said, "Tell me."
Zhu Rui smiled flatteringly and said, "If I can't get married in the future, please ask Master Thirteen to take him in."
Seeing that Brother Thirteen was silent, Zhu Rui added, "A maid or an old woman can do it."
I don't know.
Why did I come up with this idea?
Perhaps, he is the best to me, wholeheartedly good, and free from pressure.
Brother Thirteen picked up Zhu Rui's chin and gave it a generous amount before he said, "Well, it's just as good as your teeth.
I'll think about it."
Zhu Rui was stunned, slapped away Brother Thirteen's hand, and said angrily: "I'm not an animal, what the hell?"
The Thirteenth Brother laughed and said: "Look at your hairy look, you are quite energetic.
In this case, I will reluctantly accept you."
After saying this, the Thirteenth Brother patted the hem of his robe, feeling very leisurely.
People are gone.
Zhu Rui gritted his teeth bitterly.
He obviously had the upper hand every time, but why did this boy get married and build a mansion?

He actually became much smarter at talking.
Zhu Rui was unconvinced for a while.
It's the end of another year, and Zhu Rui can't help but sigh.
Before he knows it, it's the second New Year.
At the end of November, for some reason, the maids who had been transferred from various palaces to the imperial court were all returned to their respective places according to Kangxi's orders.
This was still some time before the maids from the Han army flags would be selected to fill the palace next year.
Zhu Rui didn't think much about it.
He originally thought that the second New Year would be spent at Qianqing Palace.
Although the first time at Babele Mansion was lively, the Qianqing Palace was really going to be deserted.
Now that Kangxi has returned the bamboo scrolls, he is willing to give them back, but it is a pity that the books in Maoqin Palace are gone.
I am afraid that I will never see them again when they return to the good concubine.
Thinking like this, Zhu Rui memorized a few geometry problems and fell silent after returning to the house, planning to use them to relieve his boredom when he returned to Chuxiu Palace.
Seeing Zhu Rui come back, the sisters who were close friends in Chu Xiu Palace had a fight with her.
The good concubine was already kind to the palace people, but with the New Year approaching, the palace maids and eunuchs were more noisy than usual.
Yingluo brought a basket of food over, and there was actually half a pot of sweet-scented osmanthus brew.
In the bamboo house, Aunt Huashu, Chunliu and others were drinking around the table.
Aunt Huashu only had one drink and two chopsticks of food, then got off the table and went on duty.
Zhu Rui and others couldn't keep her here, so they let her go.
Come to think of it, she might as well have walked out of the room and let Zhu Rui and the others torment her.
Among the three, Yingluo has the most outspoken and chattering temperament, and her presence can always liven up the atmosphere.
Chunliu is a little quieter.
Although she has been on duty for a while, she is much more relaxed in front of Zhu Rui than before.
In essence, she is still the cautious and inferior person before.
Just listen to Yingluo say: "Zhu Rui, have you met the Fourteenth Master?"
A vague figure appeared in the mind of the fourteenth elder brother Zhu Rui.
It happened when he first entered the palace.
He only had a brief look.
Now he can't even remember his appearance.
He only remembers that he was an arrogant little boy.
Zhu Rui shook his head at Ying Luo.
Yingluo said: "Since Qiuyi came back, the Fourteenth Master has always been here.
I heard from Chu Yi's aunt that the Fourteenth Master was on good terms with our grandpa, and they used to walk around a lot.
But then, for some reason, we didn't see each other for a while. .
Now, I run more frequently than before.”
Zhu Rui vaguely remembered that the little boy held his head high and said, asking her to wait, waiting until the next time they meet, he will be taller than her.
After that, Yingluo seemed to say a lot more, but Zhu Rui didn't take it to heart.
She only said that she was a little drunk after drinking.
At the end of the meal, most of the half bottle of wine went into Yingluo's stomach.
Chunliu kept drinking, but she never got any more.
Zhu Rui rubbed his forehead and looked at Yingluo, who was lying on the table after drinking.
Seeing this, Chunliu stood up and said, "Sister, please rest.
I will help sister Yingluo back."
Zhu Rui really had a headache, so after saying a few words of thanks and letting her help Ying Luo, he went around the screen and lay on the bed to sleep.
When he woke up again, it was already dark.
Zhu Rui stared outside for a few seconds, then suddenly woke up.

I got up hurriedly, lit the lamp, washed, dressed, combed my hair, and had to be on duty at night.
While sorting it out, Zhu Rui complained that in ancient times, without a watch or an alarm clock, things would be missed.
Fortunately, my hair was not messed up during sleep.
I just combed the broken hair into it, so it was easy to get through late at night.
He hurried out of the house and walked quickly to the study, hoping he wasn't late.
When he turned around to enter the courtyard gate, the bamboo basket bumped into someone coming out of the courtyard.
Fortunately, he was stopped by someone, so the bamboo basket was not knocked to the ground.
Zhu Rui hurriedly apologized and tried to go around.
"What's going on in such a hurry?"
the other party asked after being stunned for a while.
Hearing Ba Beile's voice, Zhu Rui became silent.
At this time, the two of them were standing sideways, Zhu Rui turned to look at him, and Ba Beile was also turning to look at her.
Zhu Rui turned around to say hello: "My slave, please pay my respects to the Eighth Master.
I was reckless, please forgive me for my sins."
Ba Beile asked Zhu Rui to stand up, and then said: "Why are you so anxious?"
Zhu Rui said: "Reply to the Eighth Master, I was on duty at night.
When I woke up, I saw that it was already dark outside.
I was afraid that I had slept, so I hurried over.
I bumped into the Eighth Master, please punish me."
Babeile smiled and said: "Don't be so hasty, Shen Shi has not passed yet, walk slowly and don't fall."
Before midnight, Zhu Rui secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then he felt that a lot of sweat had broken out on his back.
She said: "Thank you, Mr.
Ba, for the tip."
There was a voice far away behind "Bago", but it didn't sound like the voices of the ninth and tenth elder brothers.
Ba Beile said to Zhu Rui: "You go in first."
Zhu Rui said yes and entered the study first.
Ba Beile came over and said with a smile: "The fourteenth brother is here."
"Who was Brother Eighth talking to just now?"
Brother Fourteen asked.
"A maid serving in E Niang's study asked her what books E Niang has been reading recently."
Babele said casually.
The fourteenth elder brother did not continue the topic and said instead: "I heard from the tenth elder brother that the eighth elder brother will invite his brothers to drink in the evening."
Ba Beile couldn't help but smile and patted Brother Fourteen on the shoulder: "I can't do without you.
I just asked Mingquan to post there, but I didn't expect you to find it on your own."
The fourteenth elder brother smiled "hehe" and said: "Brother, I came here just because of the smell of wine."
The fourteenth elder brother said again, "the ninth brother and the tenth brother are here."
Ba Beile said: "The servant said, we are here now."
Ba Beile patted Brother Fourteen on the back with one hand and said, "Let's go there first."
After the Fourteenth Prince and Eight Belles finished speaking, they led each other to the flower hall
