The dragon boat arrived on the night of the fifth day.Kangxi didn't ask anyone to stop the boat, and entered Jiangning Port overnight. When he got off the boat, he saw Yinqi kneeling in front of everyone.He quickly walked over and helped him up, looked him up and down before finally heaving a sigh of relief, nodded his forehead and smiled lightly: "It seems that Mr. Cao treated you well, it seems that you have gained a little weight— —Fortunately, I was still worried that you would be frozen at night..."

"I'm worrying Huang Ama." Yin Qi obediently let her Huang Ama pull her, and answered with a smile. She wandered around the crowd without a trace, and then frowned slightly—only Long live The guard of honour, but not the crown prince's.He spent so much effort to avoid it in advance, and even took his fourth brother away thoughtfully. Could it be that these two people haven't reconciled yet?

After surviving the grand welcome with a stomach full of questions, the group went back to Cao Yin's mansion as usual.Taking advantage of the time when the two weavers and the two governors were reporting to Huang Ama, Yin Qi dragged Liang Jiugong to the side, frowned and said in a low voice: "What's the matter, it's not that I'm staying with my second brother to recuperate Why, why did you throw the second brother half way again?"

"Long live Lord said——that we are afraid of delaying the trip, we have to go back in February..." Liang Jiugong responded to the previous statement without confidence, and looked at Yin Qi's face that didn't buy it at all, and finally completely Recalling the fear of being dominated by this little ancestor: "Actually——Actually, as soon as the news of elder brother's assassination was passed back, the Long Live Lord and the Crown Prince were at odds again. But later, the Long Live Lord himself said , he believes in you, and he also believes in the prince, and he even specially told the servant to tell the prince not to think too much..."

"So even before you left, you passed on the words, and Huang Ama didn't even tell the second brother in person?" Yinqi widened his eyes in astonishment, and hit his head hard twice with a headache, "Huang Ama What is this for? It's not like he doesn't know about Second Brother's temper, isn't it getting more and more troublesome..."

"Brother, we really can't intervene in this matter-in short, Long Live Lord has his plans, so just leave it alone..."

Liang Jiugong didn't dare to teach Yinqi what he said that day, so he answered with a bitter face, but looked sharply at the bandage tied around Yinqi's right wrist, let out a low exclamation, and hurriedly praised it carefully. Get up: "Brother, is this the injury from before? Is it serious? Have you asked the doctor to look at it? Is it okay now—"

"Yes, it's not heavy. After reading it, it's not good."

Yinqi interrupted his words quickly, and answered concisely again, and glanced at him angrily: "Fortunately, I specially asked someone to bring you a message, and said to stop Huang Ama Huang Ama, you didn't stop me at all..."

"No—brother, I really can't blame the slave..." Liang Jiugong responded with a tearless cry, and then resigned himself to his fate and opened his hands to gesture at him, "I owe you a hundred for the slave." Rabbit, can you do it? Your letter arrived just in time for the Long Live Lord to leave, and there is no difference. Even if the servant has a hundred lives, he would not dare to block the Long Live Lord's way..."

"Forget it, if I had a hundred lives, I would dare to gouge Huang Ama's boat."

Yin Qi rolled his eyes coldly, and walked into the main hall as soon as he waved his hands.Liang Jiugong didn't dare to be angry or speak, followed behind with small steps, and he didn't dare to walk faster than this little ancestor who thought he was walking like a dragon and a tiger. , Is it always a bit of hard work? You don’t even know—if the slaves hadn’t persuaded you, Long Live Xing would have found a concubine for you now..."

...? ?

Yinqi stumbled and nearly fell, but Tanlang hugged him into his arms and held him steady. He looked at Liang Jiugong in shock: "What are you looking for—what is it?"

"Concubine..." Liang Jiugong looked at the little elder brother who was stimulated with a northeast accent in front of him, repeated the two words timidly, and then mustered up the courage to continue to express his merit: "I know you don't want it! You don't want it! He's still a half-baby, what do you want that thing for? I heard people say that this martial arts practitioner, the later Yuan Yang vents, the better... Hey, brother—brother!"

"Master, let's go, let's not listen to his nonsense." Tanlang took Yinqi's wrist and walked like flying, turned his head and gave this father-in-law Liang who was full of thoughts, his eyes were almost murderous, scaring Liang Jiugong I had to stumble, and stopped walking nonchalantly, but my mouth was still muttering unyieldingly: "No - it's the Lord Long Live who said he wanted to find a concubine to warm your bed. I can't blame the slave..."

I don't know which word in his words, Tanlang's steps paused without a trace, and then resolutely walked faster.

The reception banquet was grand and boring, and it was easy to stay until the banquet was over, and the sky was so dark that no one could be seen without lighting the lamps.Cao Yin originally wanted to lead the Long Live Lord to the cave where the royal driver rested every time, but Kangxi waved his hand, took Yin Qi who was by the side with a smile into his arms, patted his head and said with a light smile: "I will go first." Take a look at Xiao Wu'er's room—I heard that this kid has been sleeping well for the past few days, I'm really curious, how do you take care of him to make him feel comfortable."

Cao Yin trembled when he heard the words "serve" and "comfortable", shook his head hastily, and resolutely threw the pot back: "If you go back to Long Live, Fifth Brother's house was cleaned up by Tanlang guards. , slaves dare not be greedy for merit..."

Kangxi also heard Yinqi tell him about the oolongs of the past few days, and when he saw Cao Yin's bitter face, he couldn't help but want to laugh.He coughed lightly to hide his smile, and followed Cao Yin's guidance into the room. Seeing the carefully laid quilt and fur on the bed, he couldn't help nodding his head slightly, and turned to the greedy wolf who was following Yinqi. He smiled and said: "You have done your errands very carefully, you should be rewarded—what kind of reward do you want?"

"Huang Ama, my son has something to tell you."

Naturally, Yin Qi didn't intend to let go of this golden opportunity, so he hurriedly answered a sentence, and then winked at Liang Jiugong and Cao Yin who were behind him, and the two immediately retreated knowingly, and closed the door in a thoughtful way. Door.Kangxi didn't seem to be surprised, walked slowly to the side of the couch and sat down, and tried to press the complicated mattress with his hands.Feeling the warmth and softness under his palm, he nodded with satisfaction, and raised his hand to beckon his son to come over too: "Speak, what do you want?"

"Huang Ama, did you already know..."

As soon as Yinqi saw the expression of the old god of his own emperor Ama, his heart became clearer.With a helplessly broken expression, he muttered in a low voice, and sullenly took out two things from his arms and clapped them in his hands: "You know all this and don't tell us——do you know how hard it took your son to ask?" Come out? We were so scared that we both didn't sleep well all night, and our gray hair was worried..."

"It's worth it for me to scare you, a fearless brat like you." Kangxi sneered, raised his hand and tapped his forehead vigorously, "You still have gray hair, why haven't I seen you? There was an interruption there, which step did you find out?"

"As far as the origin of the wolf's teeth and the fingers are concerned, Tanlang was not born to his parents..." Yin Qi answered after deliberating, but suddenly realized the meaning of Kangxi's words, and hurriedly raised his head and said: " Huang Ama, do you know more than us?"

"I know that your little guard is actually the grandson of Sukesaha."

Kangxi replied lightly, and turned his eyes to Tanlang who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly showing some long-distance melancholy, and sighed very softly: "I'm sorry for the Su family... Now, I can finally be frank and honest." You just said this sentence out loud. You don’t have to be so cautious—the Su family was innocent in the first place, not to mention that you were just an ignorant child in swaddling clothes at that time, how could I make things difficult for you? "

Tanlang kowtowed, and responded with a choked voice, but still fell on the ground and dared not get up.Yin Qi went over to pull him up, then frowned slightly and said, "Huang Ama, my son still doesn't understand the whole story..."

"Speaking of which, I gave him his life."

Kangxi smiled softly, stood up with his hands behind his back, walked slowly to the window and looked at the moonlight outside: "At that time, I was only your age, and there were too many things that I couldn't control myself. The Su family I couldn't bear the tragedy, so I deliberately loosened Sony's hand when the family was ransacked. At that time, I knew that a baby in swaddling clothes had been sent out, but I didn't ask anyone to track it down again. When he came again It has been five years since it appeared in my sight..."

Yin Qi was listening intently, but suddenly he was taken aback by this time point - if five years later, wouldn't it be the time when Tan Lang's family was confiscated... But it turned out that from such an early morning, his Huang Ama Hold all of this firmly in the palm of your hand?

"I didn't check your whereabouts, but Oboi refused to let you go - at that time, Oboi had already found out your true identity, so I had no choice but to punish your family into the treasury of Xinzhe, and I wanted the three officials to protect you It happened that Xie Xun was in Beijing. I met him secretly and asked him to take you away and train me to become a new seven-star dark guard. I was thinking about the future and the old one. The replacement ones are just in time for this stinky brat's ups and downs, I am really worried, so I gave your generation of Seven Star Guards to Xiao Wu'er."

Tan Lang was stupefied when he heard this, for a moment he felt both relieved and at a loss.He stared at his little master in a daze, but saw Yinqi looking back with the same dazed expression, suddenly felt a little funny for no reason, couldn't help lowering his head and gently twitching the corners of his lips, there was a smile in his eyes. He gave some light smiles.

--what's so funny!Looking at his guard who laughed heartlessly, he felt as if he had stepped into the whole set-up game. The fifth elder brother felt very angry and threw himself into the arms of his royal ama in a panic. : "Huang Ama...!"

"Okay, okay, didn't I tell you everything..."

There were no outsiders in the left and right rooms, Kangxi smiled lightly and hugged his son, rubbed his head in a good temper, then slowed down his voice and coaxed patiently: "I originally planned to wait and tell You, who knew that the old ancestor would just give him the wolf-striped finger? When I found out, I couldn't laugh or cry. This caused a lot of oolong trouble..."

Yinqi still felt that the blow was too deep, and resentfully buried his hot face on Kangxi's shoulder and refused to respond.Kangxi hugged him and sat by the bed, then waved to the greedy wolf at the side, looked at him and said softly: "Now you know all these things, but do you have any plans? This wolf tooth and finger puller I can’t return it to you anymore. Now that the Zhengbai Banner has belonged to the royal family, if you hold these things, it will be a disaster. I will never let you know the purpose of this thing. As compensation, I can also promise you Not too much to ask."

According to the thoughts of Tanlang and Yinqi, it is a great fortune to be able to save their lives this time, and when did they even have the slightest thought.Before Kangxi finished speaking, Tanlang hurriedly knelt down on the ground, paused for a moment, and then said sincerely: "I only wish to guard the master for the rest of my life, and I ask the Lord Long Live for permission..."

A look of relief flashed in Kangxi's eyes, he nodded slightly and said: "Since I want to guard Xiao Wu'er well, I have to give you an identity, so I will give you—what was your original name?"

Suddenly, the room fell into an eerie silence.The ancients didn't have the habit of naming babies who were still in their infancy, and because of the urgency of the time, the Su family didn't have time to give him a name. Later, when they came to the Tan family, how could the common people really give their children something special? The scientific name is just "gouzi" and "kan'er" randomly giving up cheap names to make a living. As for the Xie family later, as the Seven Star Guards, they are only sorted in turn regardless of their names, but they are all serious. name……

Yin Qi still remembered that when he went to release Tan Lang's family, his grandfather recognized Tan Lang's identity and said that he was "the Tan family's doll named Gou Zi", so he made up his mind and coughed lightly. , and said with a strange expression: "Tan—Tan Ergou..."

"..." Kangxi paused for a moment, and then continued in a calm manner: "Give Su's orphan, Tanlang Zheng, a fourth-rank guard with a sword in front of the imperial court, pardon all his crimes, and honor the word 'bravery' of the Tan family in the suburbs of Beijing. Liang Jiugong!"

Yinqi looked around, and just wanted to tell his Royal Ama that Liang Jiugong had locked him out, when he saw the Eunuch Liang, who had heard all directions, push the door, and walked in quickly without looking sideways. Said: "The servant is here, Lord Long Live, please tell me."

"Use the seal for the decree, and ask Nan Study Room to be included later." Kangxi ordered lightly, and then tapped his son on the head, and said angrily: "Hurry up and give him a serious name! It's really true. Thanks to you being able to scream..."

"Huang Ama, why don't you give me one, it's not the first time I've made fun of you for naming my son..." Yinqi muttered resentfully, rubbing his head listlessly.Kangxi raised his eyebrows slightly, and there was a helpless yet indulgent smile in his eyes, he rubbed his head and said with a light smile: "Since you are born in the Su family and supported by the Tan family, and you have such a weird name, you are called Let’s go Su Tanlang—it’s pretty much the same after all, and it’s nice to hear.”

Tanlang hurriedly thanked him respectfully, and bowed sincerely three times before finally secretly looking up at his little master, with a relaxed and gentle smile in his eyes.Yin Qi blinked secretly at him, and there was a light of surprise in his eyes.Kangxi watched the little movements of the two children with a smile, raised his hand and rubbed the son's forehead, and said with a soft smile, "How about sleeping with Huang Ama today? If you are afraid that it will be cold over there, I will stay here with you." I can sleep with you..."

"I'll go over there with Huang Ama. If you sleep here, you will scare Mr. Cao to death." Yin Qi jumped off the bed with a smile, and secretly gestured to Tanlang to get it done.Although Tanlang didn't quite understand what this meant, he could still see the sincere joy and satisfaction in his little master's eyes, he smiled and nodded slightly, watching him gradually go away.It wasn't until the figures of the two people had completely disappeared that they finally raised their hands and tapped their beating hearts vigorously. They fell down on the edge of the couch and let out a long sigh of relief, the corners of their lips curled up in a careful and gentle arc .

In this way, he seems to be able to get a little - a little closer to the master...

-

Leading his son back to the place where he stayed, Kangxi hugged him and sat on the couch, rubbed his head, looked into those clear and clean eyes and said softly: "Xiao Wuer, I am very happy today... you Do you know what it is for?"

Yin Qi couldn't help but slightly startled, subconsciously shook his head slightly.Kangxi held him tightly in his arms, and remained silent for a long time before speaking again, but his voice was choked with some faint relief: "For so many years, you will always be Huang Ama's most sensible and caring son, but you have never You have never asked me for anything, and you have never been willing to embarrass me in the slightest... Today you are finally willing to open up your heart and believe in me. Having said that, you know that in my heart - there is an unspeakable joy..."

Yinqi only felt a slight astringency in his chest, subconsciously raised his hand and hugged Huang Ama in front of him, and said with a choked voice: "It's because my son is ignorant, and Huang Ama is worrying..."

"If you can be more sensible, I don't have to worry so much."

Kangxi caressed the son's still thin back, smiled helplessly, and pampered his forehead: "I said that I want to pamper you and live wantonly, this sentence will always be true." It’s true. Cao Yin also told me that you want to do something about Jia’s family. My Ministry of Internal Affairs is also your backing... You are too worried, and you will be sad and hurt your lungs in the long run--I am your Ama, if your son has a problem, if you don't go to Ama, who can you turn to? ?”
