Chapter 297 Goodbye Kangxi
The next day after returning to the capital, since it was not a great court, Ling Zhu tidied up his court clothes and went into the palace to ask His Majesty to see him. After Li Dequan informed him, he greeted Ling Zhu with a smile on his face, "Duke Zhiyuan, the emperor is in a good mood, let you in. Ling Zhu took a deep breath, shook his horseshoe sleeves, smiled at Li Dequan, and then walked into the hall holding his breath.He bowed his head and came to Kangxi, knelt down and kowtowed, "My servant pays respects to the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."

Kangxi was in a good mood at this time, although his face was a little dark yellow, but there was a smile in his eyes, holding the citrus that had been brought in as a tribute in his hand, and said in a cheerful tone, "You still know how to come back to greet me? I thought you were having fun at the hot spring village. I forgot my loyalty to me." Feeling that Ling Zhu's body froze for a moment, a little smile appeared on his face, "Okay, get up, I'll reward you with a basket of newly brought seasonal fruits."

Ling Zhu lowered his head and didn't get up, Kangxi's face slowly sank, his eyes flashed, and he said indifferently, "It seems that today, you didn't come to greet me, just say what you want." Ling Zhu Zhu paused for a moment, bowed his head and replied, "Your majesty, this slave is indeed here to thank you. I would like to thank the emperor for sending an imperial doctor to treat this slave. I would like to thank you for your reward. How can this slave deserve such great love from the emperor?" .”

Kangxi got up, walked slowly in front of Ling Zhu, stared at the back of his head for a while, then looked out of the hall, Li Dequan, who was accompanying him, bowed his head and quietly led the hall attendants back quietly.When he came outside the hall, Li Dequan wiped the sweat from his forehead, secretly worried for Ling Zhu, after all, Kangxi's temper has not been very good recently.The little servant next to him came up and asked curiously, "Mr. Li, here, the emperor and Mr. Zhiyuan." Before he could finish speaking, Li Dequan slammed the hat on his head, "The emperor's business, when is it your turn to be a slave?" Interrogation?" Glancing around, he ordered, "Shut up all you monkey bastards, Mr. Zhiyuan is the emperor's favorite person, if there are any rumors, let's see if the emperor will spare you which one of you? "

"Are you angry with me again?" Kangxi looked at Ling Zhu condescendingly, and said in a calm tone, "I know your loyalty, and I didn't blame you for your recovery, but what did you do for me today?" Once out? Don’t you know how I treat you? Do you, a slave, also want to share my life with me? "

Ling Zhu raised his head at this time, his eyes were reddish, and he said with some sobs, "The emperor's kindness to the slave is as high as the sky, and it is difficult for the slave to repay the emperor's great kindness even if he is smashed to pieces. The loyalty to the emperor can be learned from the sun and the moon, but the slave's heart" See Seeing the grievance in Ling Zhu's eyes, Kangxi frowned and sighed, "Why, who wronged you? I think you are doing well in hiding."

After wiping his eyes, Ling Zhu raised his head to look at Kangxi, and said with a little grievance in his eyes, "Your majesty, you know the heart of this slave to love a daughter. This slave is loyal to the emperor. I didn't want her to marry into the royal family. This servant can only thank the emperor for his great favor, Prince Yong respects Fujin, this servant is at ease, but a while ago there was such an ugly rumor in the capital, slandering Prince Yong Fujin, this servant feels distressed."

Kangxi was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Ling Zhu's head was muddled again. After walking two steps in front of him, Ling Zhu closed his eyes, and then said, "I am wronged for King Yong Fujin, she has always been in the palm of my slave." Zhu, although she suffered a little when she was a child, the slave never made her feel wronged. Now that she is like this, it really hurts her heart. What's more important is that she is not as vicious as the outside said, and she is jealous and vying for favor? Your Majesty, she is a slave. From the teaching, Prince Yong Fujin has a pure personality, how can he be so unbearable?"

"Hasn't I already suppressed those words outside?" Kangxi stopped in his tracks, and said with some doubts, "There is good news from the fourth child, so who dares to talk too much?"

"Your Majesty, this is just the beginning. Prince Yong is talented and capable, so he will definitely be used by the Emperor, but it will inevitably arouse the jealousy of others. What if the rumors reappear?" Ling Zhu pouted his neck and looked seriously Kangxi, "Your Majesty, Prince Yong Fujin has been used to the slaves and their husbands singing together, so it may not be what she wants to use this method to quell the rumors. The slaves remember what Zhuo Wenjun said back then, that the white heads are inseparable. "

Kangxi stopped in her tracks, and she seemed to hear her low exhortation, "I hope to have one heart and one heart, and the white head will not be separated."Looking down at the prayer beads on his wrist, the original scenes flashed back and forth in front of his eyes, and he threw the orange in his hand on Ling Zhu fiercely, cursing angrily, "Don't you want those side blessings of the fourth child to be so ugly?" They are all like that concubine of yours, and they can't be used as decorations? That is the prince, my Prince Yong, and that is also the prince I plan to use in the future. If he is trapped by love, he will be blinded and let him not care about political affairs. , how can I rest assured?"

Ling Zhu touched the shoulder that was hurt by the orange, knelt down and took two steps, lowered his head and said softly, "Your Majesty, don't you know Prince Yong's temperament? Calm and serious, strong and stubborn, he will never be easily influenced by others. He is not a person who is disturbed by love, in Prince Yong's heart, I am afraid that nothing is more important than the country and the state, the emperor must be aware of it."

Kangxi was stunned for a moment, doubts flashed in his eyes, and after a while, his eyes gradually regained their clarity. Is it true that Yinzhen's temperament wouldn't be like that?There was also news that Yinzhen didn't delay any political affairs even though he favored him for a while, but pursed his lips. Kangxi didn't want to admit it. Although Yinzhen's handling methods were very strict at that time, they were not so unkind. Show mercy.When Ling Zhu led the army to go out, the logistics and supplies were so cumbersome, and he was able to do nothing wrong.Sighing, Kangxi murmured to himself, "Perhaps, his temperament is really different from that of me and the previous emperor. He is ruthless...but he is ruthless."

Ling Zhu raised his head again, and continued with trust in his eyes, "Your Majesty, the servant's daughter has a dignified character, and she will never be ignorant of the seriousness, and she will not be able to do those things that don't know how to advance or retreat. Please rest assured, Your Majesty. Besides, she admires you." The responsible Prince Yong, if he really pampered the female relatives in the inner house without any consideration, the unworthy emperor said that she would deal with it personally, and the slave believed that she would not do anything to disturb the king's heart. Say more, the emperor, family and Everything is going well, she will definitely manage Prince Yong's Mansion well, and save the fourth elder brother from bothering about the Prince's Mansion."

Recalling the recent news from there, although Yinzhen dotes on that girl as always, but he no longer exclusively favors him, and he is more attentive in political affairs, suppressing the trace of jealousy in his heart, Kangxi thinks it makes sense, if It's not very appropriate to really push Yinzhen tight, and it's not very decent to meddle in the affairs of the fourth child's inner house. With a hint of embarrassment in his eyes, Kangxi sighed, "Okay, get up for me, I I understand what you mean by this, if someone makes irresponsible remarks against Prince Yong Fujin again in the future, I will definitely not forgive you lightly."

"Thank you, Majesty Long En." Ling Zhu respectfully kowtowed his head three times before standing up. Because he knelt for too long, his legs were a little numb, and his body shook involuntarily. Kangxi stepped forward to help him, and Ling Zhu was steady. He stopped, raised his head and glanced at Kangxi gratefully, opened his mouth and was speechless.

Kangxi let go of his hand, and asked with some concern, "The imperial doctor who consulted you also told me that your legs were exposed to cold in that cold place, and you often hurt your knees on horseback. You still have to be more careful." , don't always be arrogant, I know that you dote on the fourth eldest Fujin, and I am very satisfied with her, so I won't treat her badly."

Ling Zhu said proudly, "Your Majesty, I'm not a slave boasting. She has excellent looks, talent and learning, and she is very measured. She should be pampered more."

"Ama like you, I have learned something today." Kangxi shook his head, and tapped Lingzhu lightly with his fingers, with a smile in his eyes, "I still asked you about diamonds? I listened in a daze. Have you reported back that those envoys didn’t send you much?”

Ling Zhu said with embarrassment on his face, "Your Majesty, this slave is corrupt by order. You can't blame the slave. Who would have thought that the envoys of the Raksha Kingdom are so generous? It seems that the queen regent is really greedy for power." Secretly Glancing at Kangxi's expression, Ling Zhu patted his chest and said, "If the emperor is not satisfied, this servant will go talk to Peter again, maybe the queen regent can send some money over."

Kangxi laughed loudly after hearing this, "Ling Zhu, you, I really don't know how to say it, I will reward you with those diamonds, and you deserve it, you should be a little bit more modest, otherwise the The queen regent should cry, how can a woman have the ability to rule the country?" Ling Zhu touched his head, and he felt a little bit of criticism in his heart. In the late Qing Dynasty, those foreign devils did not have so much sympathy, but he understood that this kind of thing only Can slowly influence Kangxi's decision-making, can't do it too hastily, still need to master the fire, so I laughed silly with Kangxi.Li Dequan heard Kangxi's laughter in the hall, and his respect for Ling Zhu deepened in his heart. The emperor hadn't laughed so heartily for a long time.

Hearing Kangxi shouting in the hall, Li Dequan quickly lowered his head and went in, and asked softly, "What is the emperor's order?"

With a smile on Kangxi's restrained face, he ordered, "Set the chessboard. I want to see how much Ling Zhu's chess strength has improved. Look at his face full of refusal to admit defeat? I want him to know that he is still not good enough." Far away!" Li Dequan glanced at Ling Zhu, smiled silently, and then placed it on the chessboard.Kangxi and Ling Zhu sat on both sides of the chessboard, carefully arranging the chess pieces. After a while, only the sound of the chess pieces hitting the chessboard could be heard in the hall, and Kangxi laughed and scolded, "You slave, you regret the chess again." Ling Zhu was embarrassed begging for mercy, "The emperor is letting the slave take a step, otherwise the game will be blocked, and there is no way to play again, the emperor."

No one has ever rushed in front of Kangxi with such nonsense, but Kangxi's heart was very happy at this time, and his heart was broken by those sons who were only staring at the chair. At this moment, he seemed to calm down and was no longer so bitter. Looking at Ling Zhu thinking hard with the chess pieces, Kangxi shook his head with a smile in his eyes and said, "Okay, I will let you take another step, but this is the last time."

A surprised smile appeared on Ling Zhu's face, "Your Majesty, I can assure you that this is the last time."

Kangxi looked at the layout of the black and white chess pieces on the chessboard, and shook his head secretly. How could such a simple chess game seem to be more interesting?It should be the difference between chess players. Looking at Ling Zhu, whose face is full of joy and anger, he is a pure and loyal person.
