Chapter 45

The emperor saw that Su Peisheng came in and reported that Concubine Lian would be there soon, but there was no one after waiting for a long time, so he felt uneasy inside the house.Regardless of the empress dowager's and queen's expressions, Yinzhen insisted on sitting up, and was about to send someone to look at it again, when he heard the announcement at the door that Concubine Lian had arrived.

The emperor's eagerness to lean forward slightly to look at the door made the Empress Zhonggong feel a twinge of pain in her heart, but what can be done at this moment?Ulanara only hated himself for not being able to clean up the Guarjia family within these two days, and he was afraid that he would pretend to be pitiful to the emperor when he came in the next moment.The queen clutched the brocade handkerchief, thinking that luckily the queen mother was in charge.Although the queen was afraid of the emperor's anger, she also had full confidence in self-protection.

As soon as Yinhu entered the room, he saw the emperor stretching his neck eagerly looking at him, and the empress standing beside the dragon couch had an ugly expression on her face.On the contrary, the empress dowager sat beside the emperor's couch with the same expression as before, unable to see what it meant.

Yinhu walked up to the dragon couch, knelt down and saluted, and paid respects to the emperor, queen mother and empress respectively.

When the emperor beat him in, he felt that this man had lost weight in just two or three days, which shows that I was wronged when I fell asleep.When Yinhu walked nearby and knelt down, although he saw that he was dressed properly, but his face was hard to hide his tiredness, the emperor said distressedly, "Get up quickly, the ground is cold, and sit beside me."

Yinhu didn't raise his head, he had already scolded the fourth child bloody in his heart: Are you blind, the fourth brother of the emperor?The queen mother sat next to the dragon couch, even the queen could only stand.Grandpa will go up and sit on an equal footing with the queen mother, wouldn't it be a death.

So Yinhu didn't get up, but bowed his head and blamed himself, "The concubine didn't serve the emperor well, which caused the holy car to be ill. Please also ask the emperor to allow the concubine to go to Baohua Hall to chant scriptures and pray for blessings to atone for this crime."

Seeing that the eighth brother knelt down and couldn't get up, Yinzhen realized that he was in a state of confusion because of concern, and thought: I was too impatient and almost put the eighth brother in danger.So he changed his words and said, "Although you are young and immature, you don't have to blame yourself, get up."

Therefore, Yinhu had to get up and stand outside the queen.

Seeing that Yinhu did not show a painful attitude in front of the emperor, Ulanara felt at ease, so he took Yinhu's hand and said with a gentle smile, "Looking at Concubine Lian I have worked very hard for a few days, and my complexion is not as good as before. Seeing that the concubine ceremony will be held on the fifteenth day of this month, the emperor might as well let Concubine Lian go back to Chuxiu Palace to recuperate for a few days, so that she can be honored."

Only then did Yinzhen turn his eyes to look at the empress. Since he woke up, he hadn't paid any attention to Ulanara. After all, there was an empress dowager in the bedroom, and the empress didn't dare to overstep.

The emperor couldn't understand the purpose of the queen's words, so he sneered, and said in a calm manner, "The earthquake in the northwest, the whole country mourns, the palace should not be noisy, and the matter of concubine concubine will be pressed for now."

The queen was overjoyed, although Ulanara didn't want Lian to accompany her in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, but after all, Guarjia was sick, so what if he was allowed to stay by the emperor's side?Regardless of whether he is favored to heaven, as long as he cannot give birth to dragon sons, then all these thousands of favors are nothing but flowers in the water and the moon in the mirror, which will not last for a long time.

Therefore, in the eyes of Empress Zhonggong, status is more important.Since the emperor himself postponed the appointment of concubine, the empress was happy to show her magnanimity, so she smiled and said nothing, and no longer mentioned the matter of sending Concubine Lian back to Chuxiu Palace.

The emperor saw Ulanara's virtuous and gentle face, but he laughed in his heart: It is not a matter of my words whether to seal the concubine or not, and now the whole country is mourning, if I were here to make the eighth son, I would definitely provoke Yinhu Criticism.Therefore, the emperor naturally shirked this matter, and now it is most important to let Lao Ba stay by his side for a long time.The eighth younger brother doesn't think much about such things as status, not to mention that as the emperor, let alone a concubine, even if he is a queen, it is not difficult for him to do so.

The queen acquiesced, Yinhu was silent, and even the emperor didn't say anything more.The queen mother watched coldly from the side, not knowing what the queen was thinking.Concubine Lian was imprisoned for two days, and the rice water hadn't entered yet, but Nanny Sun saw everything in her eyes.The Empress Dowager naturally understood that the Guerjia family was afraid of the empress' manipulation, which shows that this person is cautious and wise.

The Empress Dowager was waiting to see Concubine Lian's attitude towards the saint this time, thinking that he was lonely and helpless in the palace, and had no help outside the palace. Guarjia came here after dressing up and changing clothes. Although his sick appearance could not be changed, he still described his behavior as dignified as usual, and there was no deliberate move. He didn't say a word about the previous confinement.In the face of the emperor's favor, it is really rare to be sober and self-sustaining.

The empress dowager knew well, the emperor had recovered and he was still a man with sharp eyes and ears, he would know what happened in the Hall of Mental Cultivation in the past few days sooner or later.If Concubine Lian preemptively strikes, the Empress Dowager will naturally maintain the Central Palace, so as to embarrass the Emperor.Now Concubine Lian is silent, she is very sensible.In the eyes of the Empress Dowager, this is enough. Regardless of whether Concubine Lian is deliberate or sloppy, a concubine who can always do the right thing and talk to each other always deserves more love.

So the queen mother was a little concerned about the emperor, and asked the emperor not to forget to rest and take care of himself, and then took the queen away with great knowledge and interest.

After a while, only Yinhu was left to accompany him in the dormitory, and the emperor didn't hold back any longer, and stretched out his hand to pull him to sit on the dragon couch.

"Did you feel wronged in the past few days?" Yinzhen held Lao Ba in his arms, only felt that this close contact seemed as long as a lifetime, and he was even more unwilling to let go.Yinzhen looked at this face so close at hand, but still felt it was not enough, so he stroked Yinhu's forehead with his fingers, and gently outlined the outline of the cheeks of the person in front of him.

Yinhu was quite embarrassed by the emperor's eyes. Today, the eyes of the fourth brother seem to be tender and full of sadness, which is elusive.So Yinhu turned his body sideways, but he couldn't avoid the emperor's hand no matter what, and he thought that the fourth child was too nasty, but he didn't see each other for three or two days, and it was as if he was parting from life and death.

Indeed, in Yinzhen's heart, it's not just a farewell to life and death.Nine years have passed, day and night have turned around, and Yinzhen is afraid that he will never see his eighth brother again.

Yinhu endured it, and originally let the emperor's hand linger on her cheek, thinking that the fourth brother had just recovered from a serious illness, and that was all he could do.But after a while, the hands became restless and went straight into the skirt of the clothes.

"Your Majesty!" Yinhu put an elbow to separate the Emperor, "The Emperor's body is just recovering, so he should take a good rest."

Where is Yinzhen willing to let go, his arms tightened and he held Yinhu in his arms again, as if he wanted to crush the bones into his body, but he said softly, "I'm fine, I'm just Miss you."

Yinhu felt both exasperated and ridiculous, just about to dismiss the emperor with perfunctory jokes in the past, but Yinzhen pinched her chin and pulled her face very close to the emperor.

Yinzhen's pupils are particularly dark and bright, filled with the shadow of Yinhu, but they do not have the obvious lust in the past at all, as if there is a vague emotion hidden in Yinhu that is difficult to understand.

Maybe it was joy or expectation, but Yinhu felt that there seemed to be more pain and sadness in those eyes.Yinhu doesn't understand why the fourth brother is hurting?What are you sad about?He climbed to the top as he wished, and wiped out dissidents as he wished, what shortcomings does he have?What's not enough?

They looked at each other for an instant, the gaze was too hot, there was nothing to hide, nothing to hide.It's hard for Yinhu to bear it, and it's even harder to accept it.He closed his eyes unconsciously, wanting to say something more.But Yinzhen blocked his lips, so he couldn't say anything.

……

Outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the days are boring.But the servants were all in their positions step by step. After the empress dowager left, Su Peisheng only stood at the door of the bedroom for a while, and then sent the servants to stand far away.

The emperor of the Qing Dynasty has always been diligent in politics.It is very rare to indulge in the boudoir during the day.But now in this inner sleeping hall, the curtains are rolled up high, but the spring breeze on the dragon couch can't be concealed.

Yinhu lay there feeling exhausted, slightly tilted his head, dazzled by the sunlight coming in from the window.Not doing this for many months, he almost forgot how he got through those late nights in the past.He blamed himself a bit for why he didn't call out the servants to come in. In this broad daylight, if there was any movement outside, the fourth child wouldn't be so absurd.

But the emperor didn't have the slightest intention to get up, he buried his head in Yinhu's neck and did not move for a long time, as if falling asleep.

Yinhu was crushed unbearably, just about to move, but saw that Yinzhen was not asleep, but raised his body slightly, looking down at him like this.

"Emperor?" Yinhu felt that today's emperor is really confusing, sometimes tender, sometimes passionate, as if he has something on his mind, but he doesn't know where to come from.

Yinzhen looked at Yinhu for a long time, and then said word by word, "Can you...can you...call me...fourth brother..." The voice was so soft that only the two hugging their heads could hear.

Yinhu lowered his eyebrows when he heard the words, this is not the first time the emperor has made such a request.Fourth brother has a special liking, he knows clearly, and he doesn't mind using one or two of them for the current plan, but this is the only thing that Yinhu can't obey.He can clearly understand his brother's rebellious love, and he can use his body in this life in exchange for freedom in the future, but after all, he can't afford to serve Yinzhen as Yinhu.

This persistence of self-deception may be Yinhu's only remaining dignity.So he avoided the emperor's expectant eyes, and it was difficult to realize how bitter Yinzhen's expectation was. Yinhu finally said to himself, "I heard that Wanbi sometimes called the emperor that way." .”

When Yinzhen heard this, the disappointment that came again made his original firm gaze instantly slacken.

The emperor let go of Yinhu, turned over and lay down, the two looked up at the same tent, but there was nothing to say.

Yinhu didn't know when he fell into a deep sleep until the next morning, when the emperor got up early as usual to go to court.Yinhu sat in the bright room of the bedroom, looking at the narrow backyard of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

This courtyard is much smaller than the courtyard of Chuxiu Palace, smaller than any palace courtyard in the Sixth Palace.In the previous life, the brothers often discussed in private the act of the fourth child settling in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.But at this moment, he was very fortunate that he was the fourth child serving here, not in the Qianqing Palace where the ancestors and emperors lived.

Thinking of this, Yinhu couldn't help but smile wryly, he asked himself that he must be the most deceitful person in the world.

After a few cups of tea are exhausted, it is already lunch time.The emperor hadn't come back yet, and the courtyard was only a few steps away, but it blocked the passage between the former court and the harem.

Thinking back to that year in the main hall, Yinhu could hardly count how many times he was smashed by the emperor with the playbook, let alone how many times he knelt on the golden brick.But now, he is pampered and supported here like a canary, but instead he misses the years when he was so exhausted every day.

It was quiet and silent, after all, it was in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Fang Ruo didn't dare to speak to relieve the master's boredom, so he could only stay bored.It is nothing more than drinking medicine, eating, and taking a nap.Finally, when the sky passed, there was news from the previous court.

The emperor issued an edict of [-] domestic currency to relieve the disaster, and issued an edict of guilt saying: "Since I have been in the imperial court, I have worked hard to seek it, and I hope that I will be in harmony with the heart of heaven and peace in the world. However, there was a sudden earthquake, and the abnormal changes were all because of me. The meritorious deeds, the lack of political harmony, and the fact that ministers and workers, big and small, are not able to work together, lead to disharmony between yin and yang, and disasters and accidents are a warning." Immediately, it was scheduled to lead the kings, civil and military officials to visit the Temple of Heaven in three days.

The emperor's decree was promulgated to the world and the six palaces, all of which were expected by Yinhu.

It was not until another hour later that Su Peisheng came down from the front and invited Yinhu to Xinuang Pavilion.

As soon as he stepped into the door, Yinhu saw a piece of tea stains on the carpet that hadn't dried up, probably the emperor just dropped the teacup.At the moment, the emperor is pressing his temples, closing his eyes and resting his mind.

As if hearing Yinhu's footsteps, the emperor opened his eyes and pointed at the imperial case, "Look at this."

Yinhu picked up the memorial, although he was prepared in his heart, he was still overwhelmed by it.

The author has something to say: The content of the Edict of Guilt is from Kang Dae.

The starling is starting to abuse the heart of the fourth brother.

So how can the starling make progress?

Ah Ning is actually worried too!

So I plan to make a big move...Hide your face, don't ask me what it is!
