"Is the girl here?"
Yin'er's gentle voice sounded.
Hearing this, Zhu Rui smiled and greeted him, saying, "Auntie came so early today, so Zhu Rui had time to start writing."
Yin'er smiled and said, "Girl, let's take a rest today.
Master, please come over and talk."
Concubine De was trying to make things difficult for her.
The old man finally thought of her.
Zhu Rui said "Amitabha" several times in her heart, thinking that maybe she would let her go back to Concubine Liang.
After adjusting her clothes a little, the bamboo basket followed Yin'er out.
To be honest, it has been a while since I came to Liaohuating, but Zhu Ji has never left this Buddhist hall.
Today, he followed Yin'er to the upper room and took the opportunity to take a look at the general appearance of De Fei's residence. , I just felt that there were a lot of water and rocks, and there was quite a bit of the smell of Leshan's water in it.
Before entering Concubine De's yard, Zhu Rui lowered her head early.
I don’t have much contact with Concubine De, and I don’t know what her temperament is, but I always make sure to follow the rules and etiquette.
Entering the room, Concubine De was leaning on an ear pillow, nibbling hazelnuts, and chatting and joking with several palace maids.
I guess the palace life of these empresses was not as glamorous as it appeared on the surface.
Liang Fei has a weak temperament, so she doesn't feel much about it, but if it were someone else who was thinking about her, I'm afraid she would feel even more miserable.
Zhu Rui greeted him politely and was extremely obedient.
When Concubine De saw Zhu Rui coming, she didn't look out of place.
She took the handkerchief handed by a palace maid and cleaned her hands.
Then she smiled and asked Zhu Rui to come closer, and she and several other palace maids joked with her.
The bamboo basket passed by steadily and originally stopped half a meter away, but Concubine De was asked to point to the two palace maids with a smile and pull her to sit next to Concubine De.
How could Zhu Rui dare that this was Concubine De?
Instead of smiling as friendly as the aunt next door, she was really the aunt next door.
She was a serious imperial concubine and the future empress dowager.
Zhu Rui struggled to get up and said "I don't dare", but she couldn't resist.
Concubine De turned around and said to a palace maid beside her: "Girl Yan'er, go get the bracelet."
A palace maid with beautiful eyebrows and a certain level of sophistication withdrew in response.
Zhu Ji thought to himself that it was probably a gift that Concubine De wanted to bring back to the concubine Liang.
The concubine in this palace just likes her sister to give her this to her sister today, and her sister to be filial to her sister tomorrow.
If she doesn't give it, there will be problems.
Thinking like this, Zhu Rui didn't take it seriously.
Talking and laughing, it was reported outside that the fourteenth prince came to pay his respects to Concubine De.
Zhu Rui saw it clearly, and Concubine De was really happy in her eyes.
His eyebrows and eyes had the shadow of Kangxi's, but the shape of his lips was very similar to Concubine De's, a little thinner.
Thinking of the history that happened a long time ago, Zhu Rui said, maybe it is true that the thin-lipped person is unkind.
They are both her biological sons, but she is so unfavorable to one and even refuses to be his empress.
So, does he also follow the saying that he is unfeeling and cold-blooded?
Zhu Rui's thoughts were awakened by the sound of the curtain being opened.
In the center of the room, the Fourteenth Prince, dressed in a green robe, was leaning over to greet Concubine De.
Although he could not see his face, he felt that his whole body exuded a kind of vitality.
The proud little boy grew up.
Zhu Rui followed the other maids to greet the Fourteenth Prince.
The Fourteenth Prince called out indifferently and rushed into the arms of Concubine De.
Smiling like a flower.
After all, he hasn't grown up yet, so praising him is in vain, Zhu Rui sighed in his heart.

Suddenly I thought of the Thirteenth Brother again.
He was only one year older than the Fourteenth Brother, but he seemed to be much older than him.
Especially since Taishan came back, he has become more mature and steady.
It seems that people still need experience, so that they can grow faster.
The two were chatting, and Zhu Rui didn't want to listen, but suddenly heard Concubine De mentioning her, and he quickly cheered up.
Just listen to Concubine De saying: "Don't bother me.
I asked people to search through the Chuxiu Palace, but they didn't ask.
The purse looks ordinary.
There are thousands of people in this palace.
How can I find it?"
She added Pointing to the bamboo basket, he said, "What a coincidence, she is working as an errand in Chuxiu Palace, so you go and ask her if you have heard of such a person.
If not, I will give you up as soon as possible."
Hearing what De Concubine said, sweat suddenly broke out in the palms of Zhu Rui's hands.
She never thought that the Fourteenth Brother had actually looked for her.
Not only that, the matter also reached De Concubine.
I don't know how many people knew that she was just a child.
How come she didn't hear about the big commotion?
Maybe it was when she was transferred to Qianqing Palace?
Zhu Rui felt that her legs were cramping.
Should she admit it or just say that she didn't know that the purse was embroidered by Ruo Qing?
Only the three of them had it.
Ruo Qing had left the palace early.
Although Huai Ying had been working as an errand in Yonghe Palace before, he was no longer there.
Entered the fourth master's house.
As long as no one has seen their purses, there must be no problem, otherwise Brother Fourteen would not have found anyone until now.
After thinking about this, Zhu Rui felt a little relieved, but he was worried that Brother Fourteen would recognize him.
It would be easy to handle if he didn't recognize him, but if he recognized him and he lied again, it would be terrible for a while, Zhu Rui I can't make up my mind.
Over there, the fourteenth elder brother had already opened his mouth.
He said to Zhu Rui: "You are an errand in the Chuxiu Palace."
Hearing Zhu Xi's answer, he added, "Have you ever seen this purse?"
The fourteenth elder brother Take out your purse.
Zhu Rui took a look at the purse, and found that the one Ruo Qing gave to her also contained the white jade ring that Huai Ying gave her.
Zhu Rui shook his head and said, "I have never seen it before."
Seeing Zhu Rui lowering her head and speaking as softly as a mosquito, Brother Fourteen couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
He said in a dissatisfied tone: "You should raise your head and reply.
Look carefully.
Don't get it wrong." " Zhu Rui said "Yes", raised his head slightly, pretended to look carefully and then replied: "I don't recognize you."
After saying this short sentence, his heart was already pounding violently.
Seeing that Zhu Ruidao didn't know, Brother Fourteen couldn't hide his disappointment.
After asking several times, he still didn't give up.
In the end, Concubine De couldn't stand it any more.
She stopped Brother Fourteen with a smile and said, "Just let this girl go.
I guess she doesn't know.
Even if you cross-examine her again, what else can you ask for?"
Mom said, that girl is probably no longer serving in Chuxiu Palace.

If not, how could she not find this person?"
Although the fourteenth elder brother was unwilling to give in, he did not ask any more questions in the end, and changed the subject to another topic with Concubine De.
He only occasionally glanced at Zhu Rui with a searching look, which frightened Zhu Rui into not daring to raise his head.
"Master, I can get the things."
Yan'er came in with a tray and a brocade box on top.
"You're such a lazy girl.
I asked you to fetch something, but it took so long."
Brother Fourteen came to say hello.
Concubine De was in a good mood.
She didn't really blame Yan'er, she just smiled and said.
"Replying to the master, when I came back, I ran into the Thirteenth Master.
The Thirteenth Master asked a few words, so I was delayed."
Yan'er replied.
"You're already here, why didn't you see him come in and miss this time?"
Concubine De asked with a smile and glanced at Zhu Rui again.
"The Thirteenth Master wanted to come to pay his respects to the master, but when the emperor summoned him, he hurried to Qianqing Palace and said he would come back to talk to the master later."
Yan'er said softly.
Concubine De nodded and said: "Business matters."
After saying that, she said to Zhu Rui: "Zhu Rui, why don't you continue to see how hard you have been copying Buddhist scriptures these past few days?
I will reward you and wear it to play with."
After hearing what Concubine De said, Zhu Rui realized that this was actually a reward given to him by Concubine De.
He was so surprised that he raised his head and glanced at Concubine De.
When he met the eyes of Brother Fourteen, he saw his eyes changed. , Zhu Rui hurriedly lowered his head, Fu Shen said: "My virtuous master loves me so much, and serving my master is my duty.
How dare you ask for credit and reward?"
Empress De Fei smiled and said: "I invited him here.
He copied these scriptures and asked me to send him back empty-handed.
I'm not sure why your master resents me for being stingy."
Zhu Ji hurriedly said: "The good master always thinks about your kindness, so how can you develop resentment for nothing?
The slave is chosen by the good master.
It is the blessing that the slave has cultivated for several generations.
The good master is also the good fortune of the slave."
Hearing this, Concubine De smiled and said to the maids around her: "You can learn from this girl Zhu Rui.
When it comes to sweetness of mouth, none of you can compare to her."
The maids standing nearby also responded.
Brother Fourteen, who had been silent for the whole time, said, "Mother, did you just know what this girl's name is?"
Concubine De said: "Zhu Rui, look at the name.
It's clear and bright.
It really suits such a clear person."
"Zhu Ruizhu," the fourteenth elder brother murmured, and Zhu Rui was frightened when he heard it.
The purses of the three of them included hibiscus flowers in Ruoqing, calla lilies in Huaiying, and several poles of green bamboo in Zhuxi.
They only hoped that the fourteenth elder brother would not make any associations.
Fortunately, the fourteenth elder brother did not dwell on this issue anymore, but turned to ask Concubine De with a smile: "What kind of rare things did my mother reward this girl with, so that my son can have a good time."
Concubine De smiled and slapped Brother Fourteen's hand, and said: "You are so young, but you are not very stable."
Then she told Yan'er, "I'll show you, Brother Fourteen, a look."
"Yes."

Yan'er walked around to the Fourteenth Brother, opened the box, and showed it to the Fourteenth Brother.
Zhu Rui did not dare to raise his head.
What if he looked at Brother Fourteen again and reminded him of something again?
The fourteenth elder brother laughed and said: "Your mother is too stingy.
This girl Baba copied these Buddhist scriptures for you.
Her hands are sore and her eyes hurt.
She has so many treasures, why can't she be willing to pick them?"
Better” Concubine De smiled and scolded: "You kid, you have no memory, but this bracelet is..."
Before Concubine De had finished speaking, the fourteenth elder brother said: "Eniang, my son looks good at Fang Qiulizi's jade bracelet.
Anyway, Eniang has many treasures, so I'll give her the bracelet as a reward."
Hearing this, Concubine De was stunned and looked at Brother Fourteen.
Although he looked playful, his eyes were very serious and she didn't know how to make a decision.
After a while, she said: "It's not that I can't bear to part with the bracelet, it's just that no one has worn that bracelet for a long time.
I can't bear to part with you, my Majesty."
Brother Fourteen somehow stopped laughing and said: "It's settled."
Concubine De hesitated for a while.
When Brother Fourteen saw this, he suddenly became energetic and casually ordered a palace maid, "Go and get Fang Qiulizi's bracelet."
The palace maid glanced at Concubine De and saw that Concubine De did not stop her, so she went down and came back after a while holding a tray.
Brother Fourteen was about to get up, but Concubine De pulled him and said: "If you really want to reward someone with E Niang's bracelet, then you can just find another one.
You must have chosen this one."
The fourteenth elder brother regained his playful expression and said slyly: "My son, I think this girl is very suitable.
Eniang's bento will be a gift for my son's birthday this year."
After saying that, he threw himself into the arms of Concubine De and acted coquettishly. .
Zhu Rui listened quietly to the exchanges between mother and son.
She was confused.
After hearing this, she saw that even the emperor was involved, and she was even more confused.
Could it be that the concubine wanted to package herself?
The bamboo basket dedicated to Kangxi made my head grow bigger for a while.
Although it feels a little outrageous, it is not impossible.
After all, this is ancient times and it is still in the palace.
The relationship between men and women does not need to be measured by age.
But she is from Chuxiu Palace.
Logically speaking, it should not be handled by Concubine De, otherwise it would be unreasonable.
Didn't it make Concubine Liang's face dull?
Zhu Rui was focused on this and didn't hear what the two said behind her.
In the end, Concubine De failed to persuade the Fourteenth Prince, and finally asked the Fourteenth Prince to put the bracelet on Zhu Rui's wrist.
Zhu Rui didn't struggle much, he just declined symbolically, then bowed and thanked him.
After all, this bracelet is much safer than that bracelet that I have never seen before.
After packing her things, Aunt Yin'er sent the bamboo basket all the way out of Liaohuating, and then asked the little palace maid Haosheng to send the bamboo basket back before turning back.
Not far away, I heard someone shouting from behind: "Stop" Zhu Rui and the little palace maid subconsciously stopped and looked back.
When they saw it was Brother Fourteen, Zhu Rui screamed in his heart.
Brother Fourteen followed him within a few steps, and the two of them were busy greeting him.
After calling, the fourteenth elder brother said to the palace maid: "You go back, I will see her off."
The little palace maid replied: "Yes."
She handed Zhu Rui the things that Concubine De had asked Zhu Rui to bring to Concubine Liang, and then left.

Only himself and the Fourteenth Prince were left.
Zhu Rui was a little short of breath.
After all, he was hiding something.
He didn't know what the Fourteenth Prince's temper was like, but just looking at the way he behaved in front of Concubine De, I'm afraid he was spoiled.
My master, if he knew that he had hid this from him and made him angry, his life would not be easy.
Zhu Rui said softly: "Master Fourteenth, what are your orders?"
The fourteenth elder brother kept looking at the bamboo basket, smiling and saying nothing.
Zhu Rui felt very nervous, but Brother Fourteen didn't speak, and he couldn't ask any more questions, so he just lowered his head and waited for him to speak.
After a while, I saw Brother Fourteen taking two steps closer.
He raised his hand on the top of Zhu Rui's head and gestured to himself, saying: "What a girl, she grows up faster than I thought."
Hearing this, Zhu Rui raised his head, and the top of his head happened to touch the palm of the fourteenth brother's hand.
Zhu Rui hurriedly took two steps back.
He realized in his heart that Brother Fourteen was comparing his height with him, and he secretly thought that it was not good.
This kid must have remembered it.
It was over.
If he pursued it, he would really be unable to eat and walk away.
No, Brother Fourteen did not blame her, he still smiled brightly and said, "We were at E Niang's place just now, why didn't you admit it?"
Zhu Rui pursed her lips and did not answer.
Was she going to tell the truth?
"Why don't you answer?
You were like this at E Niang's place just now.
I thought you were timid, but now it seems that you are being cautious and trying to cover it up."
Brother Fourteen smiled with a smile on his face.
Harmless, but with a twinkle in his eye.
"This slave just doesn't know how to answer for a moment, and is afraid of being blamed by the master.
Only then, only then" pretending to be weak, Zhu Rui made up his mind.
"Okay, okay, I don't blame you."
Brother Fourteen looked at the bamboo basket for a while and said, "You can raise your head and speak."
Now that he had seen through it, there was no point in keeping his head lowered.
After hearing what he said, Zhu Rui raised his head.
Only then did she have the time to take a look at Brother Fourteen.
In terms of appearance, he was more handsome than Si Beile.
He exuded a heroic aura all over his body, with a kind of natural pride and nobility that was evident everywhere. light.
Their lips followed Concubine De's.
"Why don't you ask me how I recognized you?"
Brother Fourteen said with a proud smile.
"Then, how did the Fourteenth Master recognize this slave?"
That smile made Zhu Rui regain a little bit of the feeling she had when they first met her.
"First of all, the moment I looked at you, I felt very familiar, but I wasn't sure.
After all, it's been so long, and I can't quite remember your appearance."
Zhu Rui agreed with this point.
It's just a predestined relationship, and his appearance is not surprising.
What's more, he is a playful and forgetful child.
After several months, he can't remember his appearance.
Seeing Zhu Rui nodding, the fourteenth elder brother became even more interested.

He took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and said, "Look at this."
Zhu Rui looked at the way he presented the treasure and was very amused.
He looked at the handkerchief twice.
It was just an ordinary Supa, and he felt there was nothing special about it, so he looked at Brother Fourteen inquiringly.
When Brother Fourteen saw that Zhu Rui didn't respond, he frowned in frustration and said, "You girl, what kind of memory do you have?
You can't even remember your own handkerchief.
Fortunately, I still have it with me for a long time.
I wanted to beat Buku once."
It fell out and was laughed at by Brother Ten
.
"
Hearing what he said, Zhu Rui unfolded the handkerchief again, and couldn't help but take a breath.
There were two limericks embroidered on the handkerchief, "When are the mandarin ducks embracing each other?
The ducks are watching the fun at the side."
At that time Thinking it was funny, Yang Ruoqing embroidered it for herself, and it also had the inscription "箢箢".
Her original intention was to embroider "铓铓", but Ruoqing got it wrong, and she couldn't explain it.
Naturally, this handkerchief could not be used on a daily basis, so she put it in her purse.
If her fourteenth brother hadn't taken it out, she would have forgotten about it.
"Where did you hear this silly sentence?
It's quite interesting."
Brother Fourteen said with a smile.
Zhu Rui lowered his head in resignation and whispered: "I forgot."
The fourteenth elder brother didn't care, and asked: "箢箢 is your nickname" Of course not "It was just a joke when I was playing around with my sisters.
There is no small word for slave."
Zhu Rui held her forehead.
Although she was on the verge of collapse, she was glad that her fourteenth brother did not blame her for the deception.
"I have been looking for you for a long time, and I have personally seen the maids in Chuxiu Palace, but I have never seen you again.
You hid deliberately."
Zhu Rui thought for a while and said: "I have never heard about the Fourteenth Master looking for me, and I have never deliberately avoided it.
I was once selected to serve in the Qianqing Palace.
This must be the reason."
"I thought you were avoiding me on purpose, but that's not the case, that's fine.
Let's forget about it, there will still be a long time to come."
Brother Fourteen smiled brightly.
Zhu Rui was a little dazed by his smile.
He didn't know if the sun was too bright, but he felt that the fourteenth brother in front of him was overlapping with him.
The mouth was opening and closing, and Zhu Rui couldn't tell who was talking
.
