Chapter 28: The Righteousness of Scourging


When he woke up again, Zhu Rui had returned to his room in Chenfang Hall.

On the side, Hua Shu saw that Zhu Rui had woken up, walked up to him, held her hands on Zhu Rui, took a drink of water, and said, "Why did you go out so well and ask someone to carry you back?"

"Ask someone to carry him back," Zhu Rui asked.

"It wasn't Master Fourteen who brought it back to you."

Aunt Huashu sighed.

Slowly remembering what happened before he fainted, Zhu Rui said: "Maybe the sun was too bright.

As I looked at it, my eyes became dark."

Zhu Rui didn't dare to say that he fainted because of stomachache.

I didn't have this problem before.

Maybe it was because I sat on the cold stone covered with snow for a long time last time that I got into something wrong.

If I told Aunt Huashu the truth, I would inevitably have to make up an explanation, and Zhu Rui would After giving up, I just planned to go back to Yingluo to make some ginger black tea and put on some clothes to keep warm, so as not to leave the root of the disease in the future.

The next day, Zhu Rui went to the study to do errands as usual.

During the Chinese New Year, Chuxiu Palace is the busiest of the year.

Although the good concubine is indifferent, she still has to dress up in the same way as everyone else during the New Year festival.

Even now that I'm in the garden, it's the same.

And it is often at this time that the study is the most deserted.

Because the palaces move around more frequently at this time, the good concubine has less time to relax.

In the study room, bamboo baskets are carefully organizing books.

Since I had been away for more than ten days, the books had not been left out of place, which was not a problem for Chunliu.

After all, she was not illiterate.

But then I thought about it, she was the one who took care of it when I went to Babele Mansion.

After a few months, I am afraid that she has already mastered it.

While arranging the scrolls, Zhu Rui always felt that something was wrong.

He slowly turned his head and looked towards the door.

Ba Beile was standing there staring at him, his expression was complicated for a moment, but then he disappeared.

Zhu Rui straightened up and greeted Ba Beile, just like usual.

I don't know why, but I always feel like we're separated this time.

Since it's not his fault, it's his fault.

"Take this female commandment and have a look."

Babeile loosened his collar and walked to the soft couch.

Although Zhu Rui was puzzled, he found it and handed it over respectfully.

Babeile took the book, flipped through a few pages, and muttered in a low voice: "However, the kindness of my uncle and sister should not be more than humility."

Suddenly he raised his head and said to the bamboo basket, "You are at Concubine De's place, too.

He always tries his best to be obedient and obedient in front of me."

It sounded like he was studying, but suddenly he saw that he was asking her a question, and it was still a meaningless question.

Zhu Ji felt strange in his heart, and replied: "In reply to the Eighth Master, the palace has its own rules, and the servants are not allowed to do it."

Dare to go beyond."

Ba Beile suddenly reached out and grabbed Zhu Rui's wrist.

Zhu Rui was startled.

Before she could react, he let go again and said lightly: "Where is your bracelet?"

Bracelet I have never worn a bracelet since I entered the palace.

It's not that I don't like it, but I just care about and insist on it in my heart.

Wait, except for the bracelet that Concubine De gave me, I took it off and put it away when I woke up that day.

During this period, I have never met Ba Beile.

Is that the bracelet he mentioned?

Seeing that there was no sound from the bamboo basket, Babeile said, "The one that belonged to the fourteenth brother."

His tone was a little harsh, he paused, and then said, "A match made in heaven."

After spitting out these four words, Babeile's thoughts seemed to drift a little.

"A match is made in heaven."

Zhu Rui was a little stunned by Ba Beile.

Is this the name of the jade bracelet?

It seemed a bit strange.

Why did Ba Beile say that it belonged to the Fourteenth Prince when it was clearly given to him by Concubine De.

"It's okay to be reluctant to wear it.

It's only appropriate to wear such a precious item when you get married."

Babeile threw away the book and stood up to leave.

Zhu Rui didn't care much, stretched out his hand to hold his sleeve, and asked hurriedly: "What do you mean by what you just said?

Who is the Fourteenth Master's perfect match?

What kind of wedding?

Who wants a big wedding?"

When Ba Beile heard this, he seemed to be startled.

There was doubt and uncertainty in his eyes, as if he was looking at the truth and lies in Zhu Rui's words.

After a long while, he said: "You don't know the origin of that bracelet?"

Zhu Rui shook his head blankly.

Seeing this, Babeile's originally tense body relaxed, and his face returned to its usual gentle look.

He straightened his body in front of the bamboo basket and said: "In the twenty-sixth year of Kangxi's reign, Hotan came up to pay annual tribute.

Two bracelets, the same color of autumn pear and white jade, nothing rare at all, but they happened to be on those two bracelets.

The bracelets were secretly patterned, one with a pattern of hibiscus and osmanthus, and the other with a pattern of lily and lotus root.

At that time, many empresses were thinking about it, but Emperor Ama never gave it to anyone.

The empress gave birth to her fourteenth brother, so Emperor Ama gave these two bracelets to Empress De."

"So although this bracelet is valuable, it is even more noble because it was given by the emperor."

Zhu Ji thought to himself.

It was originally a gift from the emperor.

No wonder.

Unexpectedly, Babeile shook his head and said: "You are only half right."

"What else is there?"

Zhu Rui said.

"On the day the reward came out, Concubine De said that from now on these two bracelets will be given to her daughter-in-law."

At this point, Babeile stopped.

Only then did Zhu Rui realize that something was wrong, but he refused to admit it in his heart, and said harshly: "Maybe, maybe it was just a whim of Master De, and he was just joking."

Babeile laughed, and her tone shattered all of Zhu Rui's "maybes" and made her shiver.

Babeile said: "When the fourth brother got married, he put the lucky couple on the wrist of the fourth sister-in-law.

Nowadays, during the Chinese New Year, the fourth sister-in-law still wears one to show her grace."

Zhu Rui couldn't help but take a step back.

She never thought that she would be involved in marriage with a certain prince.

Even if she had a crush on Si Beile, she never thought that she would really have a relationship with him, let alone someone she had only met.

The Fourteenth Brother I met twice.

She regards herself as a spectator in the palace, and it is her entertainment to watch the events recorded in history come true one by one.

But she was absolutely unwilling to involve her.

In her heart, she still dreamed of going back one day.

Even if she hadn't found a way yet, she believed that one day she would find it.

But now she was told that she might have to marry a prince, a prince she had only met twice.

Zhu Rui felt like thousands of insects were chirping in her head, and she tried harder to suppress them.

The turmoil in my mind became even more intense.

She wanted to scream loudly, but she couldn't.

If Brother Thirteen was here, maybe he could have dragged her with all his strength until she was out of breath, but he was not there.

"When Concubine De gave you the bracelet, she never said anything," Babele said when he saw that Zhu Rui had calmed down a little.

"It's bits and pieces, I can't remember much."

Looking back on yesterday's scene, there were a lot of confusing things, but regarding the Fourteenth Prince, Zhu Rui finally understood it.

No wonder the Fourteenth Prince He insisted on asking Concubine De to reward him with this bracelet.

It turned out that he had a deep meaning.

But what did he think?

After only two meetings, he made a decision about his life-long affairs like a child's play.

Perhaps, for a noble prince like him, he should have three wives and four concubines.

What does Fujin mean?

When he gets tired of it, he still has enough room for him to marry another woman of his choice.

He is different from me.

He has not accepted monogamy since he was a child.

Regarding marriage, he probably just thinks that there is an extra woman in the house to bear children for him, but for him, it is the most important thing in his life.

One thing is that you can even live alone for the rest of your life, but don't just get married casually.

That string of bracelets that he has never seen before must have a special meaning.

As for who is holding the other end of the deep meaning, Zhu Rui can no longer care.

After all, this jade bracelet is enough to make him anxious.

He didn't want to owe a favor, but Zhu Rui didn't know who to go to for help.

Although Si Beile and Fourteenth Prince are brothers, history does not mean that they are not close.

How can she give him problems again?

Besides, she and Si Beile are not familiar with each other.

The last time she was pregnant, she can She is ignorant and fearless.

On the other hand, Ba Beile is closer to the Fourteenth Prince, and the Fourteenth Prince may listen to his words.

After weighing it like this, Zhu Rui spoke to Ba Beile.

She first gave Ba Beile a solemn salute, and then said sincerely: "Please help me, Master Ba."

"You have never begged me.

Even if Hui Qing was so mean to you that day, you never said anything.

Are you really so unwilling to marry your fourteenth brother?"

After a pause, he said in a more serious tone, "That's Direct descendant of Fujin."

Zhu Rui didn't even think about it, she said: "Master Mond and the Fourteenth Master are in love by mistake.

I really can't afford such high expectations."

"No regrets."

Babeile didn't realize that there was a hint of expectation in his tone, and a feeling of relief.

Zhu Rui hesitated for a moment and said: "Maybe in the future, but I will never regret it now."

"Get up, let me go and talk."

Babeile said softly.

"Thank you, Lord Eight, for your kindness."

After bowing again, Zhu Ruifang stood up.

After Babeile agreed, thinking that there was still room for change, he wiped his face with bamboo sticks, but he didn't dare to relax in his heart.

Before Ba Beile could bring the good news, Brother Fourteen came to the door first.

"What do you mean?"

Facing the angry big boy in front of him, Zhu Rui hesitated.

"Replying to the Fourteenth Master, this servant is not very lucky and cannot afford the kindness of Master Virtue and the Fourteenth Master."

"Don't use the same trick you did in front of my Eighth Brother to fiddle with me," Brother Fourteen said, about to put the bracelet in his hand on Zhu Rui's wrist.

Zhu Rui kept dodging the hot potato that he had finally given away, and said, "Fourteenth Master, don't be like this.

How can I, this slave, be worthy of such a precious thing?"

The fourteenth elder brother put on the bracelet and said, "I said it goes with it, but what are you worried about?"

"Fourteenth Master, Fourteenth Master, please stop and allow me to say a few words."

Zhu Rui said hurriedly, just thinking that it would last a while.

Brother Fourteen actually stopped what he was doing and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you.

If you can't explain it, you're going to have to wear this bracelet today."

Zhu Rui calmed down and asked: "The Fourteenth Master first told me why I chose this slave."

This is something Zhu Rui has never been able to understand.

They have only met twice and they have said less than ten sentences in total.

However, he Where do you fancy yourself?

"What's the reason for this?

I'm just attracted by it.

Why do you want to talk so much?"

Zhu Rui rolled her eyes at him, and she knew that this boy wouldn't say anything about Chou Yinmao.

"In other words, it doesn't have to be a slave.

It's okay to be someone else."

Zhu Rui slowly guided him.

Brother Fourteen thought for a moment and said, "But I want you."

"Why is this?"

Zhu Rui wanted to scream, he, he, he, what kind of logic is this?

Didn't it mean that these sons of Kangxi also studied mathematics since they were young?

Did they learn this kind of thinking logic?

"Where did you get so many people?

Why did you get married when you fell in love?

I have so many brothers before me who got married, but I didn't see any sister-in-law asking this or that."

The fourteenth elder brother said, and went to put the bamboo basket in his hand again.

Set of bracelets.

Zhu Rui shook him off fiercely and said: "I know that I don't know how to praise you.

I let the prince Fu Jin do nothing, but he refused to do anything.

But I beg the Fourteenth Master to show your noble hand.

In the Forbidden City, in the Qing Dynasty, of In the world, there are many official ladies and nobles who want to marry the Fourteenth Master, and there is no shortage of servants.

If you are not the Fourteenth Master, you are handsome and charming.

You should be paired with a virtuous and beautiful Qiao Chanjuan, but you are not a slave like this. posture."

Brother Fourteen frowned deeply, and after a while, he said: "You like Bage?"

Zhu Rui was startled.

She didn't know which of her words made him misunderstand.

He hurriedly said: "I don't dare, I don't dare."

"Needless to say," Brother Fourteen interrupted Zhu Rui's words and said, "Why do all the people I like look like this?"

Although he muttered in a low voice, Zhu Rui was close, but he could hear clearly.

Chu.

She didn't dare to say anything, let alone show it.

Judging from the posture of the Fourteenth Prince, I'm afraid he was already a little loose.

She would rather make the Fourteenth Master misunderstand than miss this opportunity.

"That's all, no one cares about my bracelet anymore, so there's no point in keeping it."

As he said that, he turned around and threw the bracelet against the wall, smashing it to pieces.

Zhu Rui stared at the ground with wide eyes.

The bright jade fragments reflected the sunlight and were extremely beautiful.

"No one will force you anymore."

Brother Fourteen smiled self-deprecatingly, turned around and left.

Zhu Rui hurriedly called him and said: "Fourteenth Master, this bracelet" "I accidentally dropped my hand and fell to the ground.

It's not a good sign.

I can't marry you."

After saying that, the fourteenth elder brother stepped out of the yard.

Zhu Rui was stunned, not knowing what to do for a moment.

After thinking for a while, he went into the house and took out an empty box.

He squatted on the ground and carefully picked up the broken bracelet into the box, along with the broken jade that could never be restored.

And swept into the box.

She didn't know why she did this, but she just felt that she should put it away.

Maybe one day she would know.

On the second day, Zhu Rui did not expect that Ba Beile would come to look for her in the yard.

This seemed to be the first time for Ba Beile to come to her yard.

"I didn't expect that the Fourteenth Brother would come looking for you."

Babeile said.

This was beyond his expectation that the Fourteenth Brother would be so interested.

Zhu Rui lowered his head and said nothing.

Ba Beile said again: "The Concubine De spanked him twenty times."

"What?"

Hearing that Brother Fourteen was beaten, Zhu Rui suddenly raised his head and looked at Ba Beile and said, "How could he be beaten?"

"The items given by the emperor were damaged.

They only received twenty blows, which is considered light."

Babele said calmly.

Hearing this, Zhu Rui bit his lower lip.

Yes, that bracelet was a gift from the emperor.

Why didn't he think of it at the time?

He should have stopped him.

Maybe he couldn't, but if he spoke more gently, he might He won't smash the bracelet, he is always responsible.

"He's seriously injured," Zhu Rui asked in a low voice.

"The fourteenth brother's body bones have always been good, so it's not a serious problem.

But even so, it is a solid board after all.

It is inevitable that he has difficulty moving around these days."

Ba Beile said.

Zhu Rui wanted to see him, but he lived outside, so she couldn't see him anywhere.

Even if he was in the palace, her brother's place couldn't be visited casually, not to mention her embarrassing status. .

Just as he lowered his head to think of a solution, Babeile said: "If you have anything, you can write a letter and I will help you bring it to your fourteenth brother."

"Is it possible?"

Zhu Rui's eyes suddenly lit up.

Yes, he couldn't do it, but that didn't mean that Babeile couldn't do it.

Babeile lowered his eyes, turned away, fiddled with the plum branches in the vase twice, and just said "hmm".

Zhu Rui hurriedly sat down at the table, dipped it in ink, rubbed the flat rice paper, and prepared to write a letter to Brother Fourteen.

But when it comes to writing, I don't know what to write.

I want to write several times, but I stop again.

After going back and forth like this, the ink was somewhat dry, and the bamboo slipper was evenly soaked with ink, but I still didn't know where to start.

Finally, she put down her pen and stood up.

"Why don't you write it?

Don't you want me to carry the letter for you?"

Babele said in surprise when he saw Zhu Rui standing up.

Zhu Rui shook his head and said, "I have nothing to say, I just want Lord Belle to bring a message for you."

"What message?"

Babeile raised his eyebrows.

Zhu Rui pursed his lips and said, "Just saying, I always hope that the Fourteenth Master will be well."

After a long silence, Babeile said softly: "Okay
