Chapter 42 After Marriage
Jialuo sat comfortably by the south window, with milk tea simmering on a small stove beside her, bubbling and steaming.
Sweet potatoes were roasting in the oven, and chestnuts with holes cut open were arranged around the small pot of milk tea.
The whole house was filled with the aroma of glutinous rice.
When she heard Emerald say that, she silently curled her lips into a smile.
Tong Shengnian, who would later become Tong Tulai, would also become known as "Tong Half-Court" in the Kangxi Dynasty because of his daughter.
The future emperors of the Qing Dynasty all had the blood of the Tong family flowing through their veins.
Jialuo opened the envelope, revealing the girl's beautiful and neat handwriting inside.
The little girl described her surprise at Jialuo's noble status, and how she felt it was only natural afterward.
She felt that Jialuo had the air of an immortal and was the most beautiful woman she had ever seen.
Of course she will be the empress.
Tong Yi also wrote that she didn't know whether she should write to Jialuo.
She felt incredibly uneasy, yet she also recalled the scene of the two chatting happily in the carriage. Although their time together was very short, she had grown to like Jialuo very much.
The young girl said that true friendship is like water, pure and simple, and there's no need to be bound by social status. So she wrote a letter to Jialuo, asking when they could go shopping together next time.
Looking at the little girl's letter, Jialuo thought of her round eyes and round face, and her delicate and well-behaved appearance.
Some people are just naturally compatible.
Jialuo really likes Tong Yi.
She thought for a moment, then got up and went to the study on the other side of the main room, where she ground ink and prepared to reply to the letter.
But just as they were getting started, a voice came from the doorway announcing that the Emperor had arrived.
Jialuo put down the wolf-hair brush in her hand and went to the door to greet the boy.
"This humble servant greets Your Majesty."
Fu Lin strode in, and the young woman was different from the one he had seen in the Cining Palace; she was dressed in exquisite and gorgeous attire.
She was wearing a loose-fitting lake-blue satin embroidered peacock qipao, the bright color highlighting her fair and delicate face.
Her hair was tied in a braid, which now rested quietly on her chest, following her ear.
The house behind was warm and cozy, and you could even smell a soft, sweet aroma as you got closer.
For some reason, Fu Lin's somewhat irritable mood slowly dissipated at this moment.
Caroline is unlike any ordinary person, yet she exudes a comforting and down-to-earth charm.
He walked up to the girl and took her hand.
"You're really good at managing your time."
The boy, wearing a cloak, pulled Jialuo inside, perhaps because he had just seen Jialuo come out of the study, and then stepped inside.
When Jialuo's hand was grasped by the boy's warm and large hand, she felt as if something was scratching her skin when they touched, which was very uncomfortable.
Seeing the young man about to enter the study, she quickly said, "Your Majesty, let me help you take off this cloak."
"The house is heated by the underfloor heating, be careful not to get too hot."
She gently pulled her hands away and stood on tiptoe to help the emperor undress.
The boy turned around and faced Galo with outstretched arms.
The boy was extremely handsome, with slightly upturned phoenix eyes that were beginning to open, and his eyebrows were so rounded when Jialuo first saw him.
His dark eyes were slightly lowered, staring straight at her.
Jialuo felt extremely uncomfortable under his gaze. She wanted to go forward and unbutton the boy's cloak, but it felt as if she wanted to be held in his arms.
She could even smell the ambergris that belonged to emperors.
