I only remember that when he was young, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager often called him Xuanye.

In a flash, decades passed, and the Queen Mother had always called him the emperor, and had never called him like this for many years.

The Empress Dowager held Kangxi's hand tightly and said in an elder tone: "Not only the Ai family, but also the Empress Dowager of the past, are proud of teaching you a grandson like this in this life. You are our pride for the rest of our lives and the leader of the Qing Dynasty. Do not doubt yourself!"

Kangxi gritted his back to the bottom of the night and replied: "I understand, mother, son keep it in mind!"

"Well..." The Empress Dowager took the initiative to let go of Kangxi's hand and said powerlessly: "After talking to you, the Ai family is a little tired..."

"The emperor's mother has a good rest. My son will come to see you again next day." Kangxi said so, but his knees did not stand up.

When the servants saw it, they thought his legs were swollen and inconvenient, so they came forward to help.

But Kangxi raised his hand to stop him.

He knelt next to the bed for a while, forcing the bitterness in his heart back before he stood up.

He raised his head, and the confusion and frustration in his eyes disappeared.

Instead, it is cold and sharp, which makes people dare not take a look.

He dragged his swollen legs and held his hands inconveniently to leave Ciren Palace.

And when he left, he was separated from the Empress Dowager Tianren.

It was night, and the servants wanted to feed the empress dowager medicine, but they never woke her up again.

In the Apricot Flower Spring Pavilion in the Old Summer Palace, Ruoyin was lying in the Fourth Master's arms to keep warm and sleeping freely.

I heard the bell ringing outside, and one sound louder than another.

It seems...it was still coming from the Forbidden City.

In a daze, Ruoyin's eyelashes trembled.

The bells in the Forbidden City are usually used to report time, and there will be no such big noise.

But today, the bell is dozens of times louder than usual.

Just like the air defense alarm I heard before, it has been hovering over the capital.

It was filled with an unknown trailer, hitting people's hearts.

But soon the bell stopped and everything returned to silence.

But Ruoyin became a little uneasy. She collected the fabric in front of the man, "Master, has something happened? Why is the bell ringing so much today, but it doesn't ring after a few times."

He had always slept lightly, and she had woken up, and he must have woken up long ago.

"Well, something happened." When he said this, the Fourth Master had already sat up. "I just counted it, and the bell in the palace rang eight times. It must be that the Queen Mother had an accident."

"Empress Dowager?" Ruoyinteng sat up immediately.

Although she and the Queen Mother did not have a very close relationship.

After all, she lives in the palace and outside the palace.

But over the years, the Queen Mother has been a sensible person in her eyes.

She lives thoroughly and is easy-going, and she helped her to help her several times.

Recently, I heard that the empress dowager was sick and she had also visited her twice.

The fifth princess and the fifth master were taking care of each other carefully, so she came back after just sitting.

"Oh, then go to the palace to take a look. It's cold... I'll ask me to find you a thicker cloak." As she said that, she got out of bed.

The Fourth Master felt a little sad when he saw the woman's eyes, and he didn't look like he was pretending.

This made his heart feel much heavier.

Immediately afterwards, Ruoyin served the Fourth Master to put on a brocade robe, tied a black cloak, and personally sent him to the door.

"You go back to the house and rest well, it's cold outside." The man patted her on the shoulder and left with his slave.

When we arrived at the Forbidden City, as the Fourth Master guessed, white lanterns were hung everywhere.

In Ciren Palace, there were a lot of people kneeling, all of whom were from the royal family.

The Fourth Master found a seat behind and knelt down.

Kangxi knelt in front of the empress dowager's bed and could not get up for a long time.

His hands were still holding the Queen Mother's cold hands tightly, and his eyes were filled with nostalgia and gratitude.

The past is vivid in my mind. Since he was beaten for three months, this stepmother has been taking care of him.

The closest elders around him, from Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang to Su Malagu, left him one by one.

Now... the Queen Mother is gone too.

He lost the last close elder.

In the next few days, Kangxi stayed in Ciren Palace and did not return to his bedroom.

Some royal relatives also knelt in Ciren Palace to mourn.

It was not until seven days later that Kangxi served in Ciren Palace and prepared to bury the Queen Mother into the imperial tomb.

But before he could recite the sacrificial text, Kangxi was overwhelmed.

This majestic emperor used to scold the officials and the princess to the point of being so bloody, but now he knelt on the steps and cried bitterly.

Finally, he almost choked up and finished reading the sacrificial text.

Even after reading, this emperor who was so powerful that he kept sobbing.

The princes and officials naturally followed suit and kept wailing.

After noon, the royal relatives buried the Queen Mother into the imperial tomb.

In order to fulfill his filial piety and thank the Empress Dowager for his support, the fifth prince and the fifth princess stayed in the imperial tomb to mourn and took more than twenty geniuses to go back.

The Fourth Master and a group of royal relatives dragged their tired bodies back to their respective residences.

In the Old Summer Palace, Ruoyin knew that the Fourth Master and the others would come back early in the morning.

At this time, she was leading the backyard people to greet them at the main entrance of the Old Summer Palace.

She glanced at the backyard, one by one, but she was much more sensible than in previous years.

I know that I can't get my eyes off at this time, I have to wear plain colors and I don't have a few decent jewelry on my head.

But I put in a lot of effort on the surface, but I didn’t even think about it.

Not to mention Ruoyin, as a concubine, she must set an example.

He only wore an apricot flag suit and a cloak of rich hues.

I put a jade hairpin on my head and there was no other headdress.

Everyone stood in the cold wind for a long time, but the Fourth Master was still missing.

Li complained a little, "Faojin, your people are not inquiring wrong, don't remember the wrong days."

Ruoyin glanced at Li, "It's impossible to be wrong. The eunuch next to me came to report it early in the morning."

"Oh." Li responded calmly.

The Fourth Master has not come to the palace for so many days, and they can't even find out any news, only knowing that the Empress Dowager has gone.

The treatment of the concubine was different. When the Fourth Master heard that Xiao Dezi often sent her to Xinghua Chunguan to report the matter, she thought about it and made her jealous.

Just as everyone was trembling with coldness, heavy snow fell from the sky.

For a moment, the slaves quickly held umbrellas to cover the snow for their masters.

Ruoyin held Yu Pozi and stretched her neck to look at the end of the road.

About a cup of tea, the sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer.

Then, a group of people rushed here at the end.

The leader was the Fourth Master who had not returned for several days.

It was snowing heavily in the air. He rode on the horse, but his body was tall and slender.

The man wore an ink marten hat, holding one hand and whipping the other.

The ink cloak on her body stirred up a layer of storm in the air. I want to chat with more like-minded people "The Concubine is happy: The Fourth Master, I spoil the heavens!", follow "Popular Online Articles or rd444" on WeChat to talk about your favorite books with more book friends
