Chapter 42

Yinzhen sat in the Xinuang Pavilion with a sullen face, thinking about what happened last night.Rao even in his previous life, he was able to observe the three-year filial piety period, but unexpectedly, he couldn't resist the vicious kung fu of a little girl.

Emperor Yongzheng was always suspicious and cautious. The concubines brought in were all bathed under the watchful eye of the nurse in charge of the bed in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, so they couldn't bring in even a little bit of entertainment.What's more, the emperor's diet was either in the Hall of Mental Cultivation or in Chuxiu Palace. The kitchens in these two places are now arranged by the emperor himself, and they will definitely not be tampered with.

Therefore, after thinking about it, Yinzhen can only attribute it to his lack of concentration, so his face is even worse by two points.After Su Peisheng carefully placed the refreshments, the emperor regained his composure and said, "Give me a bath in the palace for you."

When Su Peisheng heard it, he immediately understood and went down to do it.

Which concubine didn't bathe and change clothes in the side hall before leaving?But the reward from the emperor himself is naturally different.Among the servants who are sleeping in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, this is secretly called a "hot bath".

As the name suggests, the water temperature of this hot bath is much hotter than usual, but it will not scald the body.But sitting in that hot water for half an hour, the effort of being favored all night will be in vain.Compared with medicine and food, this method of soaking the body in hot water is neither harmful nor easy to be noticed, so it is the preferred method.

Since the Yongzheng Dynasty, the emperor's descendants were rare, and this method of removing dragon species was rarely used.But today it is rare to favor a new nobleman, but the emperor resorted to this trick, which shows that this kind of favor is not a real favor.After Su Peisheng received the order, he quickly ran to the inner bedroom to spread the message that the matter should be done properly.

In the early morning of the second day, Yinhu got up and finished washing, as if taking out the basin, Fang Ruo went into the inner bed.

Yinhu let Fang Ruo comb her hair, and saw Fang Ruo nodding to herself in the mirror.Yinhu smiled happily, realizing that yesterday's efforts were not in vain.Before he could speak, Biyun entered the room and reported, "Master, someone from the Hall of Mental Cultivation said that the Emperor came to Chuxiu Palace for lunch at noon."

Yinhu secretly thought in his heart that the emperor does not stop, he only had a good time last night, and came here again today, so he ordered Biyun, "Go and order the small kitchen to make a plate of Ruyi rolls today, the emperor was thinking about wanting to eat this one yesterday."

Then he turned around to look at Fang Ruo and said, "Yesterday, the pot of Xinyang Maojian picked by Chunwei was not pleasant for the emperor to drink, so let's change it to something else today."

Fang Ruo understood, bowed slightly to accept the order, and continued to comb Yinhu's hair.The master and the servant did not talk to each other anymore, but they knew in their hearts that the tip of the hair could no longer be served today.

Yesterday's tea was made of water soaked in cnidium, which has the effect of warming the kidney and tonifying yang.In addition, there are materials such as Eucommia ulmoides and cinnamon in the diet of Chuxiu Palace, which can promote the blood and nourish the Yuanyang, which not only helped the emperor's interest.

Yinhu understood that it was extremely difficult for him to control the food, which was handled by the servants of the Palace of Mental Cultivation, so he took a fancy to the water used to make tea.

Cnidium is originally one of the medicines used by Concubine Lian. It is warm in nature and bitter in taste. It is suitable to be accompanied by green tea.Yinhu had had enough of the emperor's obsession for a long time. A month ago, she ordered Fang Ruo to leave one or two petals when decocting the medicine every day, and then ordered Biyun and Wan Ruo to wait for the maids to take turns picking morning dew for a month. It is said that it is used for making tea in front of the imperial court, so as to confuse the public.

After all, there is a lesson learned from the contraceptive pill soup, and Yinhu has been extremely careful this time.He personally sealed up a jar of dew, and no one saw that he put in a handful of cnidium flower petals.And this altar of morning dew was hard-won and extremely precious, so it was kept by Fang Ruo, no matter how difficult it is for others to handle it.

Now, it was a coincidence that such a new nobleman came, Yinhu felt that it was time for the emperor to have a good time, so as not to say those stupid things every day and hang around in Chuxiu Palace.

At first, Fang Ruo thought that this was a tactic used by his master in order to gain favor again, but he didn't expect it to come in handy so soon.Although it is said that a slave should not ask the master's intentions, but with Biyue's past events unresolved, Fang Ruo had no choice but to implicitly test the master's intentions.

Yinhu had been waiting for her to ask a question, so he asked, "Auntie, do you think there is still a day for me to conceive?"

Fang Ruo's heart sank, even the court judge of the Imperial Hospital dared not guarantee this matter, I'm afraid it would be difficult.

"The emperor cherishes me at this moment. There is nothing I can't get when I speak, let alone a nobleman's child. If I lose power, it will be difficult to plan." Yinhu leaned against the bed, his voice was extremely low , It is not at all like a woman talking about the regret of lifelong infertility.Yinhu understood very well in his heart that if Qigui could not give birth to a prince in his life, it depends on whether the emperor wants it or not, and the queen is behind the dark tide.It's just that there is no need for the other party to explain these things, she just needs to see the road Yinhu pointed out to her.

Fang Ruo has been in the palace for more than ten years, so he naturally understands the truth that mothers are more important than sons in the Qing Dynasty.Concubine Lian is about to become a concubine, and the newly promoted nobleman is of the same clan. If nobleman Qi gives birth to a child, it is reasonable for the emperor to raise elder brother under the name of Chuxiu Palace.

Not to mention anything else, let's just say that when the current emperor was an elder brother, he was also closer to his adoptive mother, Concubine Tong Jia, who was later Empress Xiaoyiren.And with the biological mother, the empress dowager of the Shoukang Palace, although they have treated each other with courtesy for so many years, there still seems to be a subtle distance.

Now that Fang Ruo understood the master's good intentions, he obeyed the order yesterday and served a pot of Xinyang Maojian with seasonings.And early this morning, the news from the Hall of Mental Cultivation also showed that Mr. Qi really won the emperor's favor.

It's just that before noon, someone from the Chuxiu Palace came uninvited, and who else could this person be besides the new favorite Qi noble last night.

Also belonging to Su Wan Guerjia's lineage, it is reasonable for Mrs. Qi to be the first one to come to Chuxiu Palace after greeting the queen early in the morning.

It is rare for Yinhu to warmly entertain noble Qi into the warm pavilion to sit, drink tea and talk, you talk to me, it's just a commonplace.Mrs. Qi mentioned that the two families used to be very close, but it was only after Yinhu's family moved to the suburbs of Beijing that they gradually drifted apart.

Yinhu naturally doesn't care about the truth or falsehood of what nobleman Qi said, but after listening to Youyou, she thinks that this little girl is beautiful, but there is undisguised arrogance in everything she says, which is different from her identity at this moment. Big disproportion.And such a stupid and beautiful woman is probably the queen's favorite one, so it's no wonder that Ulanara sent her to the emperor.

Hearing Guerjia Wenyuan's noise for a long time, but she didn't see any intention of leaving, Yinhu couldn't hide her smile on the surface, he understood very well that he was waiting for the emperor.Yinhu slandered in his heart: Fourth brother is not coming soon, this is the younger sister-in-law who is in her youthful age and is waiting eagerly.

Sure enough, when it was announced at the door that "the emperor is coming", noble Qi stood up and wanted to meet him outside the door. It can be seen that Yinhu was sitting there motionless, and he was a little hesitant.

This stunned moment did not mean that the emperor had already stepped in quickly.The emperor raised his eyes and saw Guar Jiawen Yuanchu on the spot, and his face darkened instantly.

Seeing that the emperor's complexion was not good, Mrs. Qi was quite smart, so she hurriedly fell down, and called out delicately, "May the emperor be blessed with peace of mind."

That voice was a little sweeter than when we were chatting just now, which made Yinhu feel tired.But when he glanced at the emperor, he saw a rare mixture of five flavors on his face, which was very good-looking, and Yinhu felt happy.

The emperor bypassed nobleman Qi and sat down on Yu Nuanta, and then Yinhu got up and took a blessing.

Yinzhen raised his hand to help Yinhu to sit down, and then he said to nobleman Qi, "Concubine Lian recuperates from illness, these vain etiquettes can be saved. You have just entered the palace, but etiquette cannot be neglected."

Mrs. Qi knew that she was annoying the emperor, so she hurried over and knelt down, "I'm being rude, please forgive me." Her watery eyes were already filled with mist, and Yinhu looked at it from the side. Is the emperor's favorite royal dog Momofuku more innocent and pitiful?Yinhu thought maliciously that if he didn't bring the pot of tea yesterday, the emperor would not be able to guarantee that he would not submit.

"Get up." The emperor didn't want to see her kneeling there with a pitiful appearance. This was the boundary of Chuxiu Palace, and it would be bad for Yinhu's reputation if it spread.But even though he shouted, he didn't give him a seat, and let Mrs. Qi stand on one side, like a maid.

Fang Ruo had already brought up the brewed pumpkin tribute tea at this time, and there were only two cups of this tea, and there was no portion for Mr. Qi at all.

The emperor lifted the tureen to take a look, and said with a smile, "Yesterday's Maojian, why didn't it come on."

Yinhu turned sideways slightly, he knew that Yinzhen didn't like green tea, so he didn't drink much, and he could get away with it once in a while, if it was too many times, he might be noticed by the fourth child, so he said with a smile, "Your Majesty hated the rain yesterday. The former green tea tasted astringent, so the courtiers and concubines naturally did not dare to serve it again. This gold melon tribute tea was brought in by the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou. this."

"Thank you for remembering what I said." After hearing this, Yinzhen took a sip of the teacup with great joy, thinking that it's good that the old man has this thought, even if it is something else, I will still drink it.

Witnessing the emperor drinking tea and talking with Concubine Lian, Mrs. Qi felt awkward being left alone.There are only three gold melon tribute tea palaces, one is in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the other is in the Shoukang Palace, and the third is in the Chuxiu Palace.She had long heard that Concubine Lian kept herbal meals and rarely used tea, but the emperor still sent the best ones here, this honor was unmatched even by the Empress of the Central Palace.

Yinhu saw that Mr. Qi had been left cold for a long time, and thought that it would be great if the Emperor Weiyou set up for him, but he couldn't hurt the little girl's infatuation, otherwise another madness would be self-defeating .So she said to the emperor, "Your Majesty really doesn't know how to be sympathetic to the fragrance and cherish the jade. Noble Qi serves the Emperor wholeheartedly. Why is the Emperor willing to let her stand for so long?"

The emperor just felt uncomfortable being choked by Yinhu, originally he was here today to appease Lao Ba and make amends for himself.But when I called, there was such an extra outsider standing there, and it was inconvenient to speak a lot.

After all, Mrs. Qi is a newcomer to the world, when she heard Concubine Lian mean to go to bed last night, she recalled the mighty enthusiasm of the emperor yesterday, so her face flushed, and she stood there coquettishly shy.

Yinhu looked at it and almost spit out the tea in his mouth, but Yinzhen coughed lightly, and raised his face with a tiger's face, "It's getting late, why don't you go back and rest."

Yinhu swallowed the tea soup, and said with a smile, "I said that the emperor is the person who loves the harem the most. It's only noon, and I remember that nobleman Qi is tired. I also think that nobleman Qi should go back to the palace to rest quickly. summoned."

The emperor glanced sideways at Yinhu, although he felt that Lao Ba's words were rude, but after all he felt ashamed in his heart, so he didn't get angry, and just waved his hand to let nobleman Qi kneel down quickly.

Noble Qi was half-driven out of Chuxiu Palace, and went all the way back to Zhongcui Palace in a daze. He sat in the side hall for an afternoon, but he didn't wait for the emperor to summon him again.

How could the emperor pay any attention to noble Qi, Yinzhen's heart and eyes are full of Yinhu at this moment.On the one hand, he was happy that Yinhu's attitude towards him had not changed, but on the other hand, he was worried why the eighth younger brother didn't question him.

After such a day of panic, Yinhu finally said at dusk, "Your Majesty, let's go back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation."

"It's the same when I'm in Chuxiu Palace. I read the booklets, and you grind and accompany me. If you're tired, go and lie down. The door of the bedroom is open, and I can see you when I look up." Yinzhen saw Yinzhen Hu just talked casually and didn't insist, so he lowered his head and looked at the notebook in peace.

Not half an hour later, Xiaoxiazi hurried into the yard, Yinzhen's heart sank when he heard the hurried footsteps, now there are not many things that dare to come to Chuxiu Palace to disturb, maybe it's a big one.

Sure enough, Su Peisheng quickly led Xiaoxiazi in, and only heard Xiaoxiazi report, "Your Majesty, an urgent report from the northwest has been sent from eight hundred miles away."

Yinzhen got up to receive the report and only glanced at it, then his body turned serious, and he said in a deep voice, "Order Long Kedo and Zhang Tingyu to enter the palace to see you."

Xiao Xiazi hurriedly replied, "Reporting to the emperor, several ministers are already waiting outside the palace gate."

Yinzhen turned around and looked at Yinhu, "I want to go back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, you should rest early." After speaking, he hurriedly left with a group of attendants.

Looking at this posture, Yinhu is afraid that this urgent report is about military affairs in the Northwest.Yinhu stood at the door in a daze for a long while, thinking that Nian Gengyao was still alive at this time in his previous life. Although there were frequent wars in the northwest, the emperor was still at ease.But there have been some changes in this life, just now seeing the fourth elder brother leaving in panic, I'm afraid something serious happened.

"Master, don't stand in the wind." Fang Ruo saw Yinhu standing on the porch without moving for a long time, and put on a cloak for him worriedly.

Only then did Yinhu feel chills all over his body, and turned back into the house.No matter what happened, I'm afraid Tianming will get wind of it.

And this night, the Hall of Mental Cultivation was brightly lit.Yinhu, who was in Chuxiu Palace, was also sleepy, unable to fall asleep.

The author has something to say: Ah Ning's difficult delivery in this chapter...

In other words, in fact, I originally planned to let the starling do it later, because there is still a need for it later, such as Zhen Huan's pregnancy.

However, the last chapter seems to have collapsed, so let the starling take action here.

And soon, something big will happen, so that the fourth brother can't feel at ease in the palace and fall in love with his younger brother.

Starlings will also take advantage of the trend, sharing worries for fourth brothers while paving the way for themselves.

The next update, should be Sunday night.
