Chapter 184 Yixiu. 24
She walked out of the Qianqing Palace and stood outside in the breeze for a while. The snow glowed coldly under the candlelight. Yixiu looked at it for a long time and suddenly smiled and said, "Jianqiu, has the scenery in the Forbidden City never changed?"
"This slave doesn't know."
"I always feel that this is the same scenery as the winter when we followed the prince out of the palace to set up a residence."
Yixiu looked outside, feeling lonely at the snow.
At this moment, a deep voice appeared and pulled her back into the world.
"Why did you come out?" Kangxi stood behind her with his hands behind his back. Yixiu turned her head slightly and just as she was about to kneel down to salute, Kangxi grabbed her arm and stopped her from kneeling.
Yixiu raised her head slightly, the candlelight reflected on her face, making her already bright and beautiful face even more beautiful. Kangxi took a deep breath and suppressed his thoughts, so as not to do anything frivolous in public.
He clearly saw the emotion in Yixiu's eyes, and he smiled with joy in his heart.
"Your makeup looks great today, it makes you look even more radiant and beautiful."
Yixiu looked at Kangxi's hand and paused, then she struggled slightly. Kangxi did hold it for a long time, and then he let go of her hand according to her strength.
I don’t know what Yixiu was thinking. She looked around and saw that there was no one around. Then she signaled with her eyes to take Kangxi to a secluded place.
Kangxi saw her struggling expression and laughed in his heart: "You brought me here and didn't say anything, what's the logic?"
However, Kangxi was not dissatisfied. Taking advantage of this private opportunity when only the two of them were together, Kangxi gave her a string of rosary beads.
"I have thought about it, but I still can't think of anything to give to you. Pearls and jade are too vulgar and don't match Xiaoyi's elegance."
"I made this rosary myself, and I also made the tassels on it myself. I wish you good health and happiness. I also wish you to be like me."
Yixiu lowered her head and looked at it for a long time. Just when Kangxi thought she didn't want to accept it and wanted to force it on her, Yixiu finally reached out and took the rosary from him.
Looking at the dark green bead in her palm, Yixiu suppressed the complexity in her eyes and said softly, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
I don't know why, they look so similar...
She bit her lip and looked at it. After putting the rosary away, she took out a ring from her heart, "I don't have anything to give to Your Majesty. This thing... was obtained by chance. It's not a valuable item. Your Majesty, please don't mind..."
"What are you talking about!" Kangxi took it happily, put it on and tried it immediately, and it was just the right size!
Kangxi looked at Yixiu with surprise. It turned out that even the eldest man had such an expression.
Yixiu didn't say much and went back soon. Kangxi waited outside for a while, walked around and stopped, and then walked in with his body stretched out. Everyone could tell that he was happy.
But no one present knew why Kangxi was so happy. On New Year's Eve, Kangxi looked at Yinzhen meaningfully.
Yixiu hid the rosary. Jianqiu looked at Yixiu and felt a little worried.
Now she sees that His Majesty is really concerned about her master, but that is why she feels frightened.
But what could she do? She could only keep the secret carefully to reassure the wives.
Everyone returned from the New Year's Eve banquet in high spirits. Yixiu got on the carriage. Honghui sat beside Yixiu and said to her with a smile, "Mother! The Queen just praised her son again!"
Yixiu smiled and nodded: "Okay, Honghui is really amazing."
After returning, Rouze's health deteriorated. Unexpectedly, the second prince Hongyun caught a cold tonight. She summoned the court physician to see him overnight, but unexpectedly, he died early the next morning.
Rouze never expected that her child would leave so early. She held the child's body and felt that she was going to follow him.
"Hongyun... Hongyun!! Mother is here, Hongyun?"
Yinzhen held back his tears. He didn't expect that one of his children would pass away just after the New Year. Even though he had a cold heart, he shed tears when he saw Rouze crying so sadly.
There was silence in the Qingyin Pavilion. Jianqiu looked at Yixiu worriedly, "Is Fu Jin in a bad mood today?"
Yixiu took the rosary given by Kangxi and played with it in her hand. The thumb-sized beads were polished to be extremely smooth. She lowered her head and looked at it carefully, as if she was looking through it at another person.
She said slowly: "Nothing, I just remembered something that didn't go well for me."
"Today is New Year's Day, we should be happy."
Jianqiu was about to say something when Huichun came in with a heavy face and hurried, "Fujin, the second prince is gone."
Yixiu paused for a moment, then sighed and said to Jianqiu, "Tell the people below to put away all the festive items. Be cautious these two days and don't let anyone find fault with you."
"Yes."
Huichun followed the order and went down. Jianqiu took the teacup and tested the temperature before handing it to Yixiu. "This child is unlucky. It's better for him to die early."
Yixiu lowered his head and took a sip of tea, then looked at the heavy snow outside and said to her, "He is unlucky."
She would just go. She had no grudge against the child, but it had nothing to do with her. So she would not go to Rouze to make trouble in the next two days.
In the main courtyard, Rouze held the child tightly and refused to let go. Qiuju cried and persuaded him, "Fujin, the prince is gone. Please let him rest in peace..."
"Fu Jin?"
"Impossible!" Rouze shook her head in panic, tears streaming down her face, looking at her child with red eyes. He was so young, how could he go so easily?
He just opened his eyes. How could she believe that this child had left her like that?
This is the child she risked her life to give birth to, how could she accept it!!
Yinzhen couldn't bear to watch any longer, so he stepped forward, grabbed her and held her in his arms. He looked at Su Peisheng and said to him, "Hurry up, put Hongyun in the coffin and bury him."
Such a young child didn't even have a funeral. He was just buried simply.
Rouze was so sad at that moment that she was heartbroken. In a fit of excitement, she swayed and fell into Yinzhen's arms.
Yinzhen saw her faint and quickly asked the court doctor to check on her, feeling relieved in his heart.
He looked at Rouze's haggard face. She had been taking care of the child herself these days and never asked anyone else to do it. She really loved the child very much.
But looking at her like this, Yinzhen didn't know why, but he felt a little... indescribably helpless.
If it were in the past, he would never have such a feeling, but when facing Rouze's appearance, there were some subtle changes in his heart.
But Yinzhen always boasted of his deep affection, so how could he admit that he no longer liked Rouze just because she was not as beautiful as before?
Therefore, Yinzhen now suppresses his impatience every day and goes to the main courtyard to take care of Rouze. Rouze really likes her child sincerely and is heartbroken to see him leave.
But when she woke up, the child had already been taken away for burial.
