It is said in ancient books that the ancient emperors wanted to "search for seedlings in summer, hunt in autumn and winter, and go out to the suburbs at four o'clock to show their power to the world."For the Manchus whose ancestors were martial arts, this autumn is the most important event of the year.The people in the palace had already formed the habit, they had already started making preparations at the beginning of summer, and once this summer was over, they had to start planning to go to the Mulan paddock.

All the way out of Gubeikou from Beijing, the mighty team first stayed at Rehe Palace for one night, and then went to Mulan Paddock together the next day.There is a strict order of superiority and inferiority when the team marches, and there must be no overstepping, otherwise it is a violation of etiquette, but once it is time to stop and station, there are no too many rules, and it becomes A good time for colleagues and ministers who used to be business-like to walk around with each other.

However, if someone pays close attention, the flow of the crowd this time is quite different from the past - Suo'etu did not follow this time, and was sent to the west by Kangxi to "investigate the military situation". The ministers who greeted Mr. Suo attentively and gave gifts were also at a loss for a moment.On the contrary, the rumored fifth elder brother who had just "recovered from a serious illness" somehow gathered a lot of people, and it seemed quite lively.

The first ones to come over were undoubtedly the few young brothers who were crazy about him.This time, all the little brothers up to the top ten were brought out, Xiao Jiu'er grabbed him with hands and feet and refused to get off, and the rest of them also stared at him eagerly.Seventh elder brother held his hand and kept asking if it was all right, but if there was any discomfort, although Yinzhen stayed aside without saying a word, his eyes were always fixed on him. On her body, a pair of dark eyes filled with silent worry and concern.

Although the eldest brother in the palace has no worries about food and clothing, there are very few times when he can really be as unscrupulous as an ordinary child.Yin Qi also knew that when he was not around, this group of little fellows might be suffocated, so he smiled and let these little guys surround him and act like a baby.Touching this one's head, pinching that one's face, took out a handful of snacks and stuffed them into their arms, urging them to hide them quickly, then nodded in satisfaction, and turned to Eighth Brother standing beside him, Smiling lightly, he said softly: "Xiao Ba is going to follow suit this time, but are you confident in shooting rabbits?"

"Fifth brother was joking—I heard that the rabbits in autumn are very thieves. My brother thought about how he can be so easy to hunt because he is small and weak, and his accuracy is not enough. I heard people say The deer in this autumn are all in herds, and there are people who will watch the deer specially, so it’s easier to hunt. My brother wants to be brave enough to try, even if he can hit an arrow..."

The eighth elder brother is only five or six years old this year, but he speaks decently and courteously, and there is a gentle and harmless smile on his childish face.Yin Qi smiled and didn't respond immediately, but just patted his forehead lightly, his eyes sank for a moment, and there was a flash of regret in his eyes, and then he changed into a calm and soft smile: "Xiao Eight good ambitions, but this deer has a lot of energy and strength, so you should know how to stop it—don’t be eager to win, if you hurt yourself instead, it’s not worth it.”

Wen Sheng gave some instructions, and played with a few younger brothers for a while, finally coaxing this group of reluctant little guys back to rest.Yinqi looked at the little back of the eighth elder brother being hugged and left by his foster mother, and suddenly sighed very softly.

Do you want to hunt deer instead of rabbits?If he remembered correctly, Kangxi had told him that the prince was eight years old but could hunt leopards, and when he was five years old, he was already able to shoot deer alone.

How old is that child, and he has already given birth to the idea of ​​being superior to the prince?This spirit is really high enough...

"Are you completely cured? I've heard people say that tuberculosis is a stubborn disease that's hard to cure...you—"

While in a trance, Yin Zhen's voice suddenly came from behind him, hesitant to speak.Yin Qi was stunned for a moment, but couldn't help laughing. He restrained his mind and turned around, took his hand with a light smile and said, "Where is it so easy to get tuberculosis? It's just that I am greedy for cold, and I was hurt for a few days It’s just the wind. Huang Ama was annoyed that I didn’t feel sorry for myself, so she used the introduction to lock me up for a few days, so that I could improve my memory——If you don’t believe me, look, I’m doing well, right?”

After hearing what he said, Yinzhen's eyes were finally relieved, and he lowered his eyes slightly and said with a light smile: "When did I never believe what you said? As long as it's okay..."

"Of course I'm fine, but you've been very haggard these days." Yin Qi looked at his pale and thin cheeks, frowned slightly, and slowed down his tone and persuaded softly: " The Sri Lankan has passed away, and those who come can be chased. Our minds should also be put more on the living—fourth brother, don’t you think so?”

Yinzhen's eyes dimmed suddenly, he pursed his lips and gave a wry smile, turned his head away and said in a low voice: "Fifth brother, I understand what you mean...but——how could Erniang like me like this? Not to mention Speaking of Er Niang, even if you include Huang Ama, the brothers around me, and everyone who is well-versed, I'm afraid I'm the least likable—"

Before he could finish speaking, a piece of nougat was suddenly stuffed into his mouth.The faint sweet fragrance spread quickly in his mouth, Yinzhen raised his head in a daze, and met Yinqi's clear and gentle eyes: "Fourth brother, have you tried it?"

Yinzhen sucked the candy in a daze, and was in a daze for a while, subconsciously said in a low voice: "I tried... what?"

"Have you ever tried to get close to others? If you don't try, how do you know that you must be unlikable?"

Yin Qi smiled, pulled him to sit at the table, and continued patiently: "Fourth brother, you were raised by the Empress Da Xingxian, it's inevitable that Empress Debi will look like you. If you think about it carefully, if the empress was still close to you in those years and fell into the eyes of others, how should she teach you how to deal with yourself? I am afraid that it will inevitably be charged with being unfamiliar and ungrateful... So the innocence of those years Getting close is not not not doing it, but not being able to do it. But now it is obvious that you can do it, and there is a mother-child nature left there, so why do you hesitate to move forward?"

"But--"

Yinzhen uttered two words with difficulty, and immediately bit his lower lip tightly.The calm and serious face in the past suddenly showed some aggrieved emotions, the nostrils fluttered helplessly twice, the eye sockets were a little red, and for the first time, the gaze was aggrieved and dazed like a real child: " Erniang, she...and me, seemed unwilling to say anything...I—I stood in front of her, watching Shisi being held in her arms...I know, she already has a son, no Send me to wear mourning for others..."

Suddenly he couldn't speak any more, but buried his head deeply, the tears quickly blurred one dark mark after another, his thin body couldn't help trembling, as if he had swallowed too much despair and pain alone helpless.

Yinqi looked at him quietly, but his chest couldn't stop feeling a little stuffy - after all, he was just a real child, and he would long for the love of his parents just like ordinary children, and he would also be in trouble no matter what. When you can't get it, you will have uncontrollable doubts and inferiority complex.This kind of inferiority complex will not even be shown in any obvious occasions, but since then it seems that it is difficult for them to believe in someone's kindness, and it is also difficult for them to accept any form of care.So I had no choice but to go on in almost self-exile until I met someone by chance and was healed, or I always licked those wounds that could never be shown in front of others, and locked my heart completely forever, never again. Stop even for a while for anyone and anything.

He clearly remembered the tragedy of Emperor Yongzheng and the Empress Dowager Wu Ya in history. Obviously, his own son won the throne, but Wu Ya's reaction was why not his youngest son inheriting the throne—— At the end of the day, there was almost no affection left for mother and son, and they almost turned against each other completely.He didn't know what kind of estrangement led to such a result, but even if this period of history is seen by future generations after hundreds of years, it is still inevitable to sigh.

"Fourth brother... listen to me and try again—just one time."

Yinqi suddenly grabbed the wrist of the little brother in front of him, stared into his eyes, and said in a low voice seriously: "After all, we just got together. You feel that you are born, and the Empress Debi may not feel at ease." .But this birth relationship is just because we have been separated for too long and we are not familiar with each other, so we can't get close quickly. You try to get close to her with your heart, and tell her frankly what is on your mind. I know, I feel wronged, and I have to try my best to tell her. This time, Qiu Xi, you should write her a few more letters of greeting and send them back. If you work hard, you will get a lottery and give it to her when you go back. Say a few words of kindness..."

After talking in a hurry, Yin Qi finally stopped to take a breath, and paused for a moment before saying word by word: "If this doesn't work...you don't have to be sad any more. It's not that my mother is in pain. If you can't live, you will always have a good brother who is close to you."

When he said this, Yinqi's eyes were clear and firm, and his tone was so determined that there was no doubt about it.Even if he can no longer be the same as before, and always stay by his fourth brother's side, there will still be an old thirteen and a young seven-he will not let the old fourteen be the same as in history , threw himself under the wings of that eighth master, and fought to the death with his own brother, who is a compatriot... No matter what, with him watching here, he would never call this person in front of him again. Alone.

Perhaps it was from the time when the dismantled Luban lock was put back into his palm, Yinzhen was no longer just a thigh to be hugged, but a future emperor of the Qing Dynasty. It's that simple for a seed player.With his current status and position, he and these brothers who are destined to be involved in the dispute over the succession may be destined to drift apart gradually.But even so, he still wanted to protect his fourth brother when he could do something else.

Yinzhen stared at him blankly for a while, and finally nodded vigorously, the gloom between his brows seemed to have dissipated most of it suddenly.The two brothers sat together again and talked affectionately. It wasn't until dinner was almost ready that Yinqi sent Yinzhen out in person - the sharp-eyed little eunuch made a strong promise that that one The cold-faced and cold-hearted fourth elder brother, when he walked out from the fifth elder brother, the smile on his face was definitely relaxed and warm like never before.

I thought that Yinzhen would be his last visitor, but who knew that after sending this little brother away, he saw that there were already several people guarding outside, and all of them were of great background.Yinqi didn't have time to think about why so many people came to his small temple on purpose, but walked quickly to Zhang Ying, bowed his hands respectfully and said: "Student Yinqi has seen Mr.!"

"Okay, okay, don't be too polite - come here quickly and ask the old man to take a good look."

Zhang Ying smiled kindly, then pulled him in front of her involuntarily, carefully squinted his eyes and looked at his complexion, then nodded in satisfaction after a long time, and said with a light smile as if he was relieved: "It's okay, it's finally I'm really hungry..."

Yin Qi's face was slightly stagnant, and he was tongue-tied for a long time, but he couldn't hold back a word with his usually sharp tongue. After a long time, he dejectedly muttered: "Mr.

Zhang Ying supported his long beard and laughed loudly, then stroked his forehead lightly, and pulled his second son who was standing behind him with a smile: "I don't want to disturb you at this late hour. But your brother listen He said that your illness has been cured, and he has been wanting to come to see you—I heard that you have always been afraid of suffering, so he specially asked his servants to find a prescription for pear juice. The bowl may moisten the lungs and unblock the meridians, and benefit the spleen in the body."

Yinqi couldn't help being slightly surprised, looked at Zhang Tingyu who was still smiling lightly, and said with a light smile: "In that case, I will accept my brother's love."

Zhang Tingyu's face had some faint blush that is typical of young people when their minds are exposed, but it was still well concealed under a plain and peaceful smile. He handed him a prescription in his hand, and said slowly with a smile : "This is to return elder brother's sweet-scented osmanthus cake, elder brother will get better soon, and we can still study with father together..."

He was originally Yinqi's companion, and the two of them listened to Zhang Ying's lectures together for so many days, and they were not hypocritical.Later, Yinqi suddenly missed class due to illness, and when he returned to the days when he was alone listening to his father's lectures, Zhang Tingyu actually felt a little unaccustomed to it. When he returned home, he heard his mother mention that pears can moisten the lungs and relieve coughs. The servant went to look for the prescription—but he didn't expect to be told so frankly by his own father. He felt a little uncomfortable for a while, and even the speech seemed a little less calm and indifferent than before.

"Brother, don't worry, I'll report to Shang Shufang immediately when Qiu Yu turns around." Yin Qi replied with a smile, took the prescription with both hands, and thanked him solemnly.Zhang Ying and his son didn't stay for long, they just chatted casually for a few more words before leaving. Yin Qi carefully folded up the prescription and put it away. Looking at the rest of the people, he couldn't help rubbing them gently with a headache. Forehead, sighed helplessly.

Who can tell him——at this time, how did Mingzhu, Yu Chenglong, and Wang Hongxu, the big Buddhas, come together and squeeze into his small ruined temple?
