Emperor Kangxi sent me to marry

Before setting off, no one expected that this small trial would eventually turn into a fierce battle for several days.

After Qi Beile arrived, the four of them had a heated discussion all morning, and finally decided that Ba Fujin and Zhong Jihai urgently went out to buy some clothes that were about the same size as Ba Age, and made a bundle, protected by Duo Bu. Go to the Palace of Naturalization. Seven Beile went to the right guard alone, and made a desperate move to transport all the remaining firearms and troops to the vicinity of the palace.

At this time, they also felt that this conflict should be successfully resolved through peaceful means such as negotiation.

On the bumpy carriage, Bafujin was uneasy. He opened the bag for the third time and checked whether the key jade ring had accidentally fallen out.

Zhong Jihai was equally nervous, so seeing her like this, her tense nerves were even more sensitive.

"Stop tumbling around. Maybe it was originally fine, but if you do this, it will fall out. I'm afraid that Brother Ba doesn't understand what you mean, so he just throws these clothes into the cabinet and we make them charming. The blind see.”

Bafujin squeezed tightly, a ring sewn in the hem of a pair of trousers, and spoke with an unusually sure tone.

"No. He'll take a good look at it."

"Why do you say that?"

"In the past, he liked to wear this kind of purple clothes, because he was handsome and beautiful everywhere, but because his skin color was too white, he looked lifeless and lethargic. This color can bring out the complexion. I returned home after I was ill, and I deliberately I wanted to torture him by burning all the clothes of this color, saying that I didn’t like them, as he had never worn them in the past few years. This time, I came from the capital specifically to see him, and instead gave him bright red and purple clothes. He'll see something's wrong."

It's the best way because it's the only way.

The four of them thought of more than ten ideas throughout the morning, agreeing with and rejecting each other, and finally left only this one, which they felt was barely feasible.

Of course, the most ideal result is for the Eight Fortunes to successfully sneak into the palace and coordinate inside and outside.

But, will the prince and Longkodo easily leave her as a hidden danger?

The cavalry team stopped ten miles away from the palace. The most numerous people could only be sent here.

If he walked further, he might be watching with clairvoyance on the opposite side.

Before leaving, he warned the two girls again.

"Remember, your eyes should be quick and don't be too pushy. If they don't let you two in, then don't force them in. We have no news at the moment. You two are back safely. Let's talk about the situation and we can discuss it together. It may not be cheaper than going in. If the ring is found..."

Ba Fujin was in the carriage and immediately recited the words he had prepared in advance.

"I'll give up my excuses, this is mine. Anyway, the size has been adjusted, and it's exactly the same thickness as my finger."

Dobu nodded solemnly, quickly mounted his horse and left. Zhong Jihai personally drove the carriage and took the eight blessings to the palace.

The outside of the palace is indeed heavily guarded. When someone comes, bows and arrows are fully drawn, and they are extremely alert. Before the carriage could approach, guards came on horseback to question him.

Zhong Jihai had become a familiar face in the Forbidden City. Many of the imperial guards recognized her and were quite polite when greeting her.

"May I ask who is in the car?"

Ba Fujin raised the curtain and struck up a conversation with a smile.

"It's me. You recognize her, but you don't recognize me. That's not okay."

Those who can serve as imperial guards must be related to the royal family. How could they not have heard of the Eight Fortunes? She is famous for her resemblance to the fourth princess, and her quirky temper, which is difficult to deal with.

Normally, the imperial guards would have hid around her, but this time, even if they dared, they would be offended.

"Fu Jin, I'm doing something to drive away evil spirits for the emperor in the palace. His Highness the Crown Prince has given an order that no one is allowed to go."

Bafujin smiled sweeter than honey and waved to the guard to come to the front of the carriage. When he came over, he deliberately took out his purse from close to his body, grabbed a handful of golden beans with body temperature, and forced them into his arms.

"Who said you want to go in? In this case, I just won't go in. Here is a baggage, pass it to the Eighth Master for me, and the job is over. The Eighth Master will reward you heavily. When I return to the capital, I will personally tell you, Ask him to lift you up.”

She put down her identity to win over her, and she spoke affectionately, which made the man dizzy. After waiting for a long time, he finally agreed to help her inquire.

"Fujin, please wait patiently here for a while. If you want to deliver a package, you must let Mr. Longkodo or the person in front of the prince know. We don't dare to deliver things privately."

Bafujin thanked them again with sweet words, and the man mounted his horse and went back to ask for instructions, leaving five or six people behind to watch them and not allow the carriage to run around. Zhong Jihai saw that his horse had run away, so he took out a few small wine bags that had been filled in advance and distributed them to the remaining guards one by one.

"It's a hot day, and it's almost noon. Brothers, you have worked hard on your errands, so you should quench your thirst! This is the wine that Rakshasa people often drink. It's expensive and hard to buy. Ba Fujin worked hard to collect some and wanted to give them to him. Mr. Ba tasted it.”

The seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door, let alone the imperial guard. They can often get some oil and water, local officials come to Beijing to meet the emperor, and send the emperor specialties and treasures, and the guards can also touch the corners. Therefore, they did not shirk Zhong Jihai's bribe, but they were careful not to drink more, and only took a polite half-sip.

But things started to get weird from this little mouthful.

Because when I tasted this wine, it was refreshing and refreshing at first, and when it went down my throat, it was exactly like water, without any taste of wine at all.

These people were all puzzled, thinking that they drank too little so they couldn't taste the song. They took another normal sip, but it still tasted tasteless. There was one who was unwilling to give up and simply took a long sip, and was laughed at by the people around him.

"He ran as fast as he could in the world without eating anything. He was so greedy for foreign wine."

But after a while, they stopped talking.

The poisonous sun at noon scorches the green grassland. There weren't even any decent trees nearby, and the heat was rising rapidly.

The strong alcohol surged up, burning his throat, and in the blink of an eye, it hit his head violently.

The remaining guards, one or two, sat on the ground at first, but then they couldn't bear the attack of alcohol and fell asleep directly in the shadow of their mounts, shouting that they had a headache and wanted to drink water.

Zhong Jihai was deeply afraid that they would vomit on him, so he carefully searched these people's boots and saddles to see if there were any waistbands or other things that could help Duobu and the others sneak into the palace. Bafujin took a telescope and looked around to help her look out.

"These people wake up even if they can't speak, right?"

"No. This wine was originally mixed with water, so it's not as strong as usual. The ones I gave them were not mixed with water. It'll be good to wake up tomorrow."

Zhong Jihai searched for it but couldn't find his waistband. He couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. He had to follow the original plan and took some men's clothes from the carriage to change into, planning to evacuate first. "Sister Yu, if you come back safely this time, I will sworn sworn vows with you like the heroes of Liangshan. From now on, I will treat you as my own sister."

Before leaving, Bafujin had a tough talk with the others, saying that he was not afraid to be left alone. In fact, he was already trembling at this moment. Hearing Zhong Jihai cheering her up like this, he excitedly took out the sword from her waist, cut off a small section of her hair, and told Zhong Jihai to put it away.

"I don't want to talk about anything else. If I have a bad relationship, give this to my uncle, Prince An, and my aunt. Say sorry to them for me. Just say that Yu'er knew that she was wrong. Let’s repay you in the next life!”

After saying that, he urged Zhong Jihai to get on his horse quickly.

They didn't even have time to cry goodbye.

"I can't escape if I don't leave. From my clairvoyance, I saw someone coming out of the palace! It's Longkodo!"

Zhong Jihai wiped away his tears, whipped his horse a few more times, and ran away quickly. Bafujin cried for a while, and finally felt calmer. He took out the mirror and makeup from the car, carefully touched up his makeup, and sat in the carriage, waiting for Long Keduo to arrive.

Not long after, Longkodo arrived with twenty or thirty people. After dismounting, he first looked at the crooked men on the ground, and then walked to the carriage.

"Greetings to Ba Fujin. A few useless ones have made Fujin laugh. Didn't you say that Miss Zhong Jihai is also here?"

Only through a thin gauze curtain, Bafujin could clearly see Longkodo's smiling face, and he managed to answer calmly:

"She went to the palace and asked for water for them to drink! Didn't you meet her?"

Of course, Longkodo could also see Bafujin's beauty through the curtain under the scorching sun, so he spoke with some patience.

"Fu Jin, it's pointless to play these little tricks. Aren't you going to hand over the baggage to the Eighth Master? The Crown Prince has specially given permission for you to meet the Eighth Master. Please come with me."

Bafujin was ecstatic at first, because if she could perform the palace, it would be much better than worrying outside. But Longkodo's proud look made her quickly realize that things were not that simple.

"The rules are the rules. If I insist on going in, what can I say if I disturb the ritual? You can take the baggage and go back. When Zhong Jihai comes back, I will go back with her."

"How did Fujin know that there were rituals in the palace?"

Without waiting for her answer, the guard who had just gone to inform Longkodo diligently stepped forward to report to Longkodo.

"It was me who told Fujin just now."

Longkodo turned around and gave the man a kick that made him lose his balance and almost fall to the ground.

"But you are so compassionate towards me that you can't control your mouth even when you are about to die."

Everyone was immediately frightened, and no one dared to say anything. Bafujin gave some gentle words of advice, but still said he would stay here and wait for Zhong Jihai, but Longkodo sat directly on the coachman's seat and did not listen to her at all.

"Fu Jin, I have only driven a carriage for the emperor in my life. For this reason, please stop complaining!"

The carriage started and ran quite fast. Ba Fujin knew that this meant that there was no return, so he made up his mind and kept silent while holding the baggage he wanted to give to Ba Age.

She originally thought that the carriage would drive all the way into the palace, and then Longkodo would secretly imprison her; unexpectedly, the carriage stopped at the entrance of the palace, and the eighth prince was really standing under the scorching sun waiting for her.

In the rolling heat wave, he was dressed in jade-colored clothing, which was the most transparent touch of coolness on the grassland.

Bafujin was about to get off the carriage with his baggage in his arms, but saw that no one had brought a stool to rest his feet. When he was in a dilemma, there was a loud popping sound in his ear, followed by a sweet and fishy taste in his mouth, and a burning pain on the left side of his face.

It took a while for her to understand.

Her husband slapped her in front of everyone.

The attack was so heavy that her left ear buzzed and she couldn't even hear the whole string of words that followed.

"What kind of place is this...you deserve to be here...why don't you go back to the capital..."

Longkodo stood on the side and sneered, watching the couple's acting. After the eighth prince finished cursing all the dirty words, he lazily stepped forward to break up the fight.

"Fu Jin also misses the Eighth Master so much. It can be seen that we are a young couple, and they miss each other after not seeing each other for a few days. The one in my family, let alone clothes, shoes and socks, has not even said a word to me. The Eighth Master is gone. I don’t know how blessed I am.”

The fear, exhaustion, anger, complaints, and bitterness that Ba Fujin had accumulated over the past few days all came rushing up. He threw the burden directly at Ba Fu Jin's face and yelled back with all his strength.

"What a freeloader, you deserve to despise me! You use my dowry to support everyone in the Baylor family, no one in the clan knows! Uncle Longkodo is here now, just ask the elders to judge him! He is biased towards you , there is still the Queen Mother in the palace! I must have justice today!"

After scolding, regardless of whether there was a stool or not, he jumped out of the carriage and put his fingernails on Brother Ba's face. There was a long blood mark on his face, which was two inches long from his ear to his chin. The eighth prince stretched out his hand and touched it. His palm was full of blood, and his face became increasingly pale with anger.

"What a shrew, when Khan Ama wakes up, I have to ask for an order to divorce you! Whatever is on the dowry list, I will return it to you as it is. I will not tolerate this cowardice! Get out! Get away to a place where I can't see you. !”

Longkodo watched enough of the excitement and tied up Ba Fujin with his own hands. He also asked someone to tie up Ba Age Brother and keep them in separate custody.

"I haven't had a tooth in three days. I really admire that the Eighth Master still has such strength. Fujin is coming in, why should the Eighth Master bother to ask her to run away? With one more daughter-in-law to see her off, Your Majesty can leave in a more dignified manner. ah!"

Ba'age was dragged away. Bafujin's throat hurt from shouting, his face became swollen again, and his bun was torn apart during the fight. The whole person looked miserable. Longkodo sighed twice, picked up the baggage that fell on the ground, and looked at it one by one.

"Fu Jin, isn't this a bit of a trick to look down on me? If you want to rely on clothes and carry letters inside, students who are taking the imperial examination no longer need this trick."

Colon Kodo turned around and even put the clothes under the sun to check whether there were needle-punched words on them, but found nothing. The more he searched, the uglier his face became. He was so hot that the clothes on his back were soaked with sweat. He still couldn't find the ring, and he became somewhat annoyed.

"It's quite well hidden! Where is the letter? Where is it?"

Bafujin endured the pain and refused to speak no matter how many questions he asked. Long Keduo gathered the clothes in the bag again and ordered her to be escorted to his room to continue the interrogation.

"You won't say it, right? I'll see if you still say it when I use pliers to pluck out your onion-like nails one by one later!"

The alcohol that appears in the article is vodka.

Friendly reminder, it is best not to drink this wine directly, it must be mixed with other drinks, otherwise you will have a burning sensation.

The name of the wine is not mentioned in the article, because at this time the name of this wine was not clearly vodka, and the wine-making technology was not so mature and advanced at that time, so the alcohol content was not as high as it is now, and there is a time lag in drinking it directly. (Vodka has 95 degrees, and disinfectant alcohol has 75 degrees. In ancient literature, vodka was originally used to scrub wounds and take medicine to relieve pain.)
