It did not take a lot of effort to negotiate this condition with Kangxi.
Ruohua used the excuse that he could not move freely after marriage and wanted to go to Shengjing to see Prince Yu Fujin before getting married.
Perhaps Kangxi felt guilty about Ruohua and quickly agreed.
Not long after, Shengjia returned to Beijing.
The imperial edict granting marriage has also been nowhere to be seen.
The peach blossoms bloomed brilliantly in early April, and every tree was very lively, but nothing could blow away the sadness in Ruo Huan's heart.
Kangxi did a really good job of sealing the seal.
In the palace, everything remained the same.
Perhaps it was God's will.
Sibeile left the palace to do business and never returned.
That's fine, she's still in a mess right now and can't think about so many things.
"Gege."
Ruowan was leaning on the couch reading a book when Zisu came in and called.
Putting down the book, Ruowan asked softly: "What's wrong?"
Zi Su came closer and lowered her voice and said, "I saw that Du Juan was not feeling well lately.
A few days ago, I saw her vomiting out the food she just ate.
I thought she had a bad stomach.
Thinking that Yun Che knew medical skills, I asked her to Let's take a look, but Dujuan won't say anything.
The slave didn't pay attention to it at the time, but today Yun Che told the slave that she saw some changes in Du Juan's body, and her stomach."
Zisu paused and continued, "The belly is also a little bit obvious, I'm afraid it's a sign of pregnancy.
If the body is big, the servant will come to Tonggege to report it." cuckoo is pregnant Ruo Quan was confused, sat upright on the couch and said, "This matter can be confirmed."
Zi Su nodded and said: "Yun Che said, stay together."
Ruo Yu frowned.
She knew what kind of person Du Juan was.
How could she be pregnant?
Besides, she was fine in Jiangnan last time.
Why did this happen just after she returned to the palace?
Ruo Huan didn't know what the situation was.
If it was voluntary, she didn't have close contact with anyone.
But if she was forced, she didn't find the person out.
Or she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to lift him up from now on.
She could only swallow her anger because of her head, or perhaps the person's high status prevented her from speaking.
"Where is Du Juan now?"
Ruo Huan asked.
"It's in the room."
Zisu replied.
After pondering for a while, Ruo Quan said: "I'll go take a look.
Send all the people outside and don't ask anyone to come over and disturb you."
"Yes."
Zi Su responded and helped Ruo Huan out of the house.
Arriving at the door of Dujuan's room, Zisu stepped forward and called the door.
Du Juan just came out to answer the door, and a little palace maid came over and said, the Crown Princess is visiting.
Crown Princess Ruowan frowned, she didn't remember any interactions with her.
For a moment, among the people in front of them, Ruo Huan was meditating, Du Juan's expression changed, and only Zi Su's expression remained as usual.
"Invite the Crown Princess to the Yuanhua Hall.

I'll be there right away."
Ruo Huan ordered the little palace maid, and then said to Du Juan, "You just have a rest in the room.
I'll see the Crown Princess off later.
I'll come look for you again.
There are some I have to ask you about the matter."
Du Juan nodded with a pale face.
In the Yuanhua Hall, the Crown Princess was drinking tea with her eyebrows raised, her movements were graceful, and the water mist made Ruo Huan unable to see her expression clearly for a moment.
"I didn't know that the Crown Princess was here.
If Ruo Huan missed her, I would like to apologize to the Crown Princess here."
Ruo Huan took a few steps forward and saluted.
"Sister Ruowan, please get up quickly.
You are the one who is dear to Emperor Ama's heart, and you are coming to our Yuqing Palace soon.
What are you doing with so many gifts?"
The Crown Princess put down her tea cup and said with a hint of support.
Ruolan smiled, but she didn't shy away from it.
She stood up and sat aside, lowering her head and saying nothing.
The Crown Princess looked behind her like Ruowan and said, "Why don't you see that the palace maid who always follows my sister seems to be called Dujuan?
Since they will go to Yuqing Palace together in the future, although she is at most a concubine, she is not a concubine at all."
I want to take a look at the people who are going to serve the prince."
"Dujuan" Ruohua was stunned.
The Crown Princess laughed twice and said: "Sister Ruohua didn't know that that girl had followed the Crown Prince long before the southern tour.
I had heard that the girl Du Juan next to my sister was a good one, but who would have thought that she would climb a high branch?
Son, I also kept the old master a secret."
After saying that, the Crown Princess also made a "beep" sound intentionally or unintentionally, which was faint but clearly floated into Ruo Huan's ears.
Ruo Quan took a sip of tea, suppressed the tightness in his chest, and said with a faint smile: "Ruo Quan was negligent.
Du Juan is also old.
As the master, I didn't think of finding a good place for her.
Now If she is If he has a plan, Ruo Huan will naturally not object.
The Crown Princess has always been known as a virtuous person, so Ruo Huan is relieved to hand over Du Juan to the Crown Princess, but it will cost the Crown Princess more trouble. " Ruo Huan bowed his head slightly.
Hitting a nail that was neither soft nor hard, the Crown Princess's face changed color slightly, and she immediately adjusted herself and said: "Since Sister Ruohua is so generous, I have nothing to say.
I think my sister is returning from a tour in the south, and she is still weak.
I won't bother you further and will go back now."
The princess said and stood up to leave.
Ruo Huan also stood up in response, said some polite words to persuade her to stay, and sent the Crown Princess out of Fengyin Pavilion.
"Only you and I in Fengyin Pavilion know what happened today."
Ruo Quan tilted his head slightly and said to Zi Su.
"Yes."
Zisu leaned forward and said.
"Go to Du Juan's room."
Ruo Huan was not in a hurry and walked slowly, constantly sorting out recent events in his mind.
If what the Crown Princess said was true, Du Juan had already followed the Crown Prince before the southern tour.
The child Du Juan was pregnant with was probably born during the southern tour, but she didn't find it.
But after being together for so long, Du Juan shouldn't be the kind of person who likes to climb high.
She followed the prince, so why couldn't it be possible that she was the prince's person before Kangxi gave her to him?
Eyeliner Suddenly he remembered that night, no matter how she called Du Juan, she never showed up, and no one else came.

Could it be that Ruo Huan's heart sank a little bit.
As I thought about it, Du Juan's house was already in front of me.
Before Zi Su came forward to call the door, Du Juan opened the door as if sensing something.
"Zisu, you stay outside."
Ruo Huan left a word and stepped into the door.
Ruo Quan randomly picked a chair and sat down, while Du Juan stood awkwardly aside.
"I heard Zi Su say that Yun Che saw that you were pregnant.
I also heard from the Crown Princess that you had already been with the Crown Prince."
After these two words were spoken, Du Juan fell to his knees and Ruo Huan frowned and looked.
Eyes cuckoo, said in a deep voice, "I just want to hear what you say now."
"Gege" whispered, Du Juan's tears had already fallen.
Ruo Quan rarely saw Du Juan shed tears.
The only time he saw her was during her southern tour.
That night, Dujuan came back with her clothes wet and Ruohua bumped into her, and she was very embarrassed.
Seeing Ruo Quan, Du Juan suddenly felt at a loss.
Ruo Huan asked her where she had been and why she looked like this, and told her to go back to the house quickly to soak in hot water and change clothes.
It was still a bit cold in the early spring in the south.
But who would have expected that Du Juan actually started to cry while she was talking.
If Ruo Quan asked again, Du Juan only said that she accidentally fell into the water and soiled the new clothes Ruo Quan gave her.
Ruowan just laughed and said she was childish, and the next day he gave Dujuan two more clothes.
Slowly breathing out a sigh of relief, Ruo Quan stretched out his hand to pull Dujuan aside, his hands feeling cold.
She couldn't bear it and didn't want to believe that Du Juan would betray her.
In fact, Du Juan is several years younger than him, but in the past few years, she has been taking care of him, taking care of everything.
"Du Juan."
Ruo Huan said softly.
"Gege, it's really not what you think.
I don't really want to harm Gege, no."
Ruowan called out, but Du Juan shook his head in shock, and his tears fell one by one, hitting the ground.
"Don't worry."
Ruoyu patted Du Juan's hand gently and said, "If I really convicted you, why would I come back to listen to what you have to say?
Now that I'm here, I'm willing to believe you."
"Gege" Dujuan looked at Ruoyu in surprise.
Taking another long breath, Ruo Huan said: "Dujuan, I know best how you treat me in the past few years.
I just want to know what happened."
Du Juan bit her lip and drew blood.
After a long while, she knelt down and said, "Gege, I'm sorry for you, but I deserve to die."
"What are you doing?
Get up."
Ruo Huan hurriedly tried to pull Du Juan up, but Du Juan refused.
"Gege, please let Du Juan kneel down, so that Du Juan can feel better."
Du Juan lowered his head and sobbed.
After a moment of silence, Ruohua gently let go of the hand holding Du Juan's arm.
After a while, Du Juan's mood gradually calmed down, and then she said: "The Crown Princess is right.
Before the southern tour, the Crown Prince had his eye on the slave.
The Crown Prince covets your weight in front of the emperor and wants the slave to help him marry."

Princess.
The servant politely refused, but the prince kept insisting, and the servant refused him again and again, which finally angered the prince."
Ruowan's hands tightly grasped the front of her neck, feeling that her heart was about to jump out.
She didn't know how she would deal with the prince's cruelty. cuckoo.
"Finally, finally" the gurgling blood dripped from Dujuan's biting lips again, and she said word by word, "The prince forced his slave."
"What?"
Ruo Huan's face turned pale.
"Ever since we were in Yangzhou, Gege came back from a night tour of the Qinhuai River with the emperor.
Somehow, the prince seemed to be very interested in you again.
He called the slave over again and again, just to ask for help in marrying Gege. .
The slave responded humbly to the prince, while trying to think of ways to help Gege.
"But" Du Juan looked up at Ruo Huan and choked, "Does Gege still remember the night when the slave came back soaked?
" "Remember, you didn't see anyone all afternoon that day, and you came back soaked in the evening.
It was the first time I saw you cry on a cold day.
I was worried and confused, but I couldn't ask anything."
Ruo Huan road.
"Gege."
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Du Juan's face, "That day, it was actually the prince who sent someone to call the slave away.
At that time, the slave seemed to have noticed that there was something wrong, and was shocked and scared, and did not dare to tell others.
But...
I don’t know where the prince heard about it, so he privately found a doctor to check the slave’s pulse and confirm the matter. " Seeing Du Juan shedding another string of tears, Ruo Quan didn't know how to comfort her.
She had experienced it too, but she was much luckier.
After a long time, Dujuan took a deep breath and said: "When I lost my innocence, I was still determined not to marry for the rest of my life, but only to stay with Princess.
But suddenly I learned that I was pregnant.
I couldn't think of anything at that time.
I just felt I was so ashamed and angry that after I came out from the prince's place, I found a secluded place and jumped into the pond."
"You" Ruowan clutched the handkerchief and was so nervous that his heart was pounding.
Even now when he saw Du Juan right in front of him, he couldn't help but feel palpitations.
"It's not that I don't know the nature of water.
I just wanted to die at that time.
But I suddenly remembered what the prince said at that time.
If you don't help me, I can still get her.
Only then did I realize that after I died, no one would remind me.
When Gege was safe, she swam back to the shore, claiming that she had slipped and fell into the water," Du Juan said softly.
It turns out that for a woman, this is such a huge shame, but Dujuan insisted on carrying it for her own safety.
Holding Du Juan's hand tightly, Ruo Quan squatted down, but could not say a word.
"Gege, I thought this matter would just go away, but who would have thought, Prince, Prince?"
Du Juan said, trembling.
"Why is the prince causing trouble for you again?"
Ruo Huan asked.
Du Juan shook her head, tears filled her eyes again, and her eyes when she looked at Ruo Huan were filled with shame: "One day, the prince suddenly sent the slave over, saying yes, and asking the slave to help get Princess.
The prince He said, if you can make rice with Gege, then it will be done."
Ruo Quan suddenly fell to the ground, so her guess when she came was correct.
It was impossible, no, Ruo Quan couldn't help but shake his head.
"Gege, I'm sorry for you.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
It's a slave.
It's all slaves.
It's a slave who sent away the palace people in Gege's room.
It was a slave who put medicine in Princess's tea.
It's a slave who went to inform the prince."
Du Juan cried, The volume of each sentence is higher.
That's why she was in such a trance that night, so she couldn't call anyone despite her calls, so she was almost destroyed in the hands of the prince.
If Ruolan didn't know how to respond to Dujuan, it would be impossible if he didn't have any hatred or resentment.
To this day, she is afraid whenever it gets dark, and she doesn't dare to put out the candle when sleeping.
I often wake up from nightmares, many times, covered in cold sweat and full of fear.
As long as she thought about it, if the thirteenth brother came a little later that day, or broke in without persistence, would she think she was not the martyr girl who committed suicide after losing her virginity in ancient times?
She would really be in trouble.
She couldn't figure it out after a few months of doing something like this, and this would be a nightmare that she would never get rid of for the rest of her life.
"Gege, I don't dare to ask for your forgiveness.
It's just that" Du Juan suddenly smiled with a dazed smile, put a hand on her already somewhat visible belly, and said, "It's just that when I came back from the prince's place and calmed down alone, As if I feel the child , I felt that he was moving, and I suddenly couldn't bear to let him go.
So I begged you to give birth to the child."
Du Juan turned to Ruo Huan and knelt down.
He kept kowtowing to Ruoyu.
"Did you agree to help the prince because you couldn't let go of the child?"
Ruo Huan also shed tears and looked at Du Juan quietly.
Knowing the reason, Ruo Quan felt relieved.
Du Juan was doing this for the child in her belly.
She couldn't blame Du Juan for her position as a mother.
Du Juan's lips were trembling and she nodded slightly.
Seeing that Ruowan didn't respond to her, Du Juan said nervously: "Gege, it was my slave who betrayed you and I'm sorry for you, but the child is innocent.
Please let my slave give birth to him, Gege."
Knowing that Du Juan had misunderstood his distraction, Ruo Huan said hurriedly: "I won't do anything to you.
Don't worry.
The Crown Princess came just now.
I think her intention was to allow you to enter Yuqing Palace.
You Now that you are pregnant with the prince’s child, no one will make things difficult for you.”
Unexpectedly, Du Juan seemed to be frightened, and started kowtowing again and said in a panic: "Gege, please don't say that, I am sorry for you.
Although the prince promised to take the slave as a concubine when the matter was completed, But the slave was just Thinking of giving birth to a child, this child is the crown prince's flesh and blood no matter what, they will not harm him, and the slave girl will die to apologize to the princess.
There is really no way for the slave girl to die.
The slave girl will definitely die to apologize to the princess in the future.
Yes, Princess” "Dujuan, don't be like this."
Ruoyu finally stopped Dujuan's movements and said softly, "Did I scare you?
I have no other intentions.
If you want to go to Yuqing Palace, I will never object.
I know you are doing it for your child.
If I did blame you when I first heard about this, I won’t blame you anymore after knowing your difficulties.
You are not wrong in this matter
.
"
"Gege" Du Juan murmured, "Gege, do you really not blame the slave?"

Taking Du Juan's hand, Ruo Huan sighed: "If you and I can be more attentive, maybe you can tell me about this matter, so that I can make decisions for you, and I won't make it so difficult for you." situation.”
"Gege, it's my fault."
Du Juan sobbed.
Thinking of something, Du Juan hurriedly asked, "I heard from Yun Che that Gege actually wanted to marry to Yuqing Palace in exchange for my slave."
Ruo Huan hesitated to speak, then finally let out a long sigh of relief and nodded.
"Gege, it's all because of my slave.
I know that you don't like the Crown Prince.
It was my slave who harmed you.
Yet, Princess sacrificed her own life to save my life."
As if she had made up her mind, Du Juan said, "Gege, please Hand me over, slave, and don't go to Yuqing Palace."
Ruowan smiled and shook his head and said softly: "Silly Dujuan, the matter is not as simple as you think.
Even if I hand you over, I will go and settle it.
Fortunately, the emperor agreed to my request and we will discuss marriage after I come back from Shengjing."
One thing, even better How many months have passed?
Don't think too much and just take care of the baby.
Soon, the prince and the princess will take you to Yuqing Palace.
Yuqing Palace is no better than Fengyin Pavilion, so be careful with everything.
I'm relieved."
"Gege, I don't want to go to Yuqing Palace.
I just want to follow Gege."
Du Juan grabbed Ruo Huan's hand and refused to let go, crying, "Gege, please don't let me go.
I'm really afraid of the prince."
Master, I don’t want to go.”
Holding Du Juan's hand with one hand, he put his arm around Du Juan's shoulder and patted it gently.
Ruo Yu frowned and said, "Are you really not willing to go?
Although the Crown Prince is a strict man, in the end he is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.
You I'm pregnant with his child again, so I won't be too sad in the future."
"Gege, I don't want to do this.
Every time I see the prince, I will have nightmares at night."
Dujuan looked frightened and kept saying, "Please, Gege, don't send me over.
I just want to follow Gege.
I will serve Gege for the rest of my life." " Ruo Quan was in a dilemma for a moment and said: "But since your pregnancy has been known to the prince, even if you don't want to go to Yuqing Palace, it will be difficult.
However, I can beg the emperor, but once your child is born, he will not be afraid of it in the future."
Never seen again."
Dujuan was startled, then touched her lower abdomen with one hand, with a sad look on her face, and said softly: "I'm just a slave and have no chance with this child."
Seeing Du Juan's appearance was really distressing.
Ruo Huan still softened his heart and said softly: "Don't worry, there may be a chance.
Let me think about it.
Let me think about it."
Du Juan, on the other hand, laughed softly and said: "Gegemo has to worry about slaves again.
Gege is willing to forgive slaves, which is a great kindness to slaves.
Gege doesn't dare to ask for anything more."
Ruo Quan said nothing more, looked at Du Juan with a smile, and gently patted the back of Du Juan's hand
