Chapter 98

Day after day, year after year, it has been the 13th year of Yongzheng in a blink of an eye.

Since Prince Lian returned to the court, the national fortune and political affairs of the Yongzheng Dynasty have been quite smooth. The emperor would always tease him and say: "I should have let my eighth brother return to the court earlier, maybe we can have such a happy and harmonious day."

While listening, Yinhu sorted out the memos on the imperial case, only thinking that the emperor was acting good because he got cheap.In recent years, he has been recuperated properly, and his body and bones are much healthier. Naturally, those who are capable work harder, and they are unstoppable industrious. On the other hand, the fourth brother of the emperor has become more and more lazy.

The emperor famously said: "In such a peaceful and prosperous world, I naturally have a lot of energy left."

Yinhu slandered in his heart: Then it's not that there is a younger brother to share the worries of the fourth brother.I don't know what happened to the fourth child without this king in his previous life.But what happened in the previous life is always a knot in the hearts of the two of them, and Yinhu will not mention it lightly.

And this year, the spring is long and the summer is late, and it is June, and the emperor has not mentioned the matter of avoiding noise and listening to politics.

Now that the harem is vacant, the emperor lives in a corner of the Hall of Mental Cultivation every day, and even Yinhu is tired of staying there, so he couldn't help asking: "When will the fourth brother move to the Old Summer Palace, you have to make preparations earlier, don't make impromptu decisions again." , Let the Ministry of Internal Affairs be busy on its own back."

The emperor snorted, raised his hand and patted Yinhu and said: "Now that I am a widow, I take my younger brother to live with me, what tricks can I do?"

Yinhu shook his head disapprovingly and said: "I don't want to go, my son has been naughty for the past two years, and I don't have any relatives at home, so I don't feel at ease."

The emperor put his arms around Yinhu's shoulders and said with a smile: "I just want to say that I will bring Hong into the garden together, and Honghao will go with me, and Min'er is also indispensable."

Yinhu pushed the emperor's restless palm away, shook his head again and said: "Hong is a bald elder brother, how could he be able to accompany you in the car and accompany you, have you seen too few fourth brother Zhezi among the censors these years?"

The emperor has not been in the harem for many years, so the emperor's heir naturally did not have an extra half.On the contrary, he frequently called Prince Lian's second elder brother into the palace to accompany him, and often kept him in the palace for a short time. Naturally, the emperor's actions could not escape the pen and ink of the officials and ministers.Therefore, Yinhu prevented the reunion time of the emperor and his son several times, and even forbade the fourth elder brother to entrust Hongshi, and only said that he would wait until the little elder brother was older before making any calculations.

But this time the emperor's heart was as firm as a rock, and there was no room for negotiation. He ordered: "This year, our family must go there, and we must be with each other. We cannot do without one."

Yinhu looked suspiciously at the face of the fourth brother, only to feel that since the opening of the year, the emperor always had a look of worry on his brows.Now in the prime of life, I don't know why the emperor is so concerned about it.

In these years, the emperor has accommodated Yinhu in everything, and even the matter of the emperor's heir has never been revealed.If it is said that the heart of the Eighth Prince is also made of flesh and blood, it is inevitable to be grateful, and finally he has opened up a little bit of the fate and opportunity in this life.Seeing that the emperor was persistent in such trivial matters, he stopped persuading him, thinking that the fourth brother could never reunite with his family and missed the princess elder brother.

A few days later, when the emperor moved to the Old Summer Palace, it was already July.

The emperor lives in a secluded garden, and during the day, apart from discussing state affairs with the prince, playing chess and drinking tea, he loves to call Sixth Brother to talk to him.

Honghao is now ten years old, and he is in the middle of elementary school.The emperor and the prince regarded it as a treasure, and placed high hopes on it.

In the eighth year of Yongzheng, the emperor issued an imperial edict to secretly build the crown prince.The privately written secret decree is hidden in the box, behind the "upright and bright" plaque in the middle of the Qianqing Palace.In the same year, the sixth elder brother was moved to Yuqing Palace, and the emperor personally taught him.The candidate for the crown prince is almost ready, and the courtiers and workers all know it well.

Honghao lives deep in the palace, and the huge Forbidden City has long since lost its hustle and bustle. Except for Hongshi and Hongmin who occasionally come to the palace to accompany him, most of the time in the palace is dedicated to studying, riding and shooting.In just a few years, the sixth elder brother has become as tall as a general, with a dragon and a phoenix appearance, and a natural temperament. In the eyes of the emperor, he has the demeanor of Yinhu when he was young.

This month spent the summer in the garden, the emperor seldom asked Hong Hao about his homework, but told him to spend more time with his brothers and sisters in the garden, cool off the summer heat, and have fun for a while.

Although the emperor dotes on the prince, he never allows him to slack off in his homework and knowledge, so when Honghao heard the emperor's father's order, he couldn't help but look at Ama on the other side.

Yinhu was also slightly taken aback when he heard the fourth brother's order, and seeing Honghao's young and mature little face was suddenly confused, with a rare innocence and cuteness, so he nodded slightly towards the child.

Seeing Ama nod his head, Honghao thanked him in a ignorant and decent manner.

After Honghao retreated, the emperor turned around and said to the eighth younger brother, "This child was raised in the palace in the past, so he listened to you more."

Yinhu glared at the emperor, and said sternly: "The Son of Heaven, Enwei, is unusual. Honghao is so young, it's rare to be a bit innocent, it's better than you and I were so trembling and walking on thin ice when we were children."

The emperor was making a joke, but seeing that Yinhu took it seriously, he coughed a few times, got up and walked to him, and said in a low voice: "I'm just joking, just seeing Hao'er becoming more and more handsome as my eighth younger brother, just a moment of emotion. "

Yinhu snorted and didn't speak, and said in his heart: Lord, he was not so naive in that meeting, dare to wink at the emperor's father.Compared with brothers like them, Hong Hao went much smoother.Therefore, in the past, it was always necessary to persuade the fourth brother not to spoil the prince too much. Seeing that the emperor was rarely strict with him in his homework, Yinhu felt a little more at ease.

In the Yuanmingyuan, because of the water and the vicissitudes of Kyushu, this day is naturally more comfortable than living in the palace.In a blink of an eye, it was the end of August and the beginning of cool autumn, but the emperor had no intention of returning to Luan.

Although Yinhu was not in a hurry to persuade his fourth brother to return to the palace, after the past few months, he found that there were [-]% more servants in the imperial army than in previous years.He couldn't help asking why, but was prevaricated by the emperor, who only said that this year the prince and princess are all living in the garden, so naturally it would be more appropriate to have more guards.

How could Yinhu believe the emperor's words, but after thinking about it for several days, he couldn't figure out what the emperor was hiding in his heart.In this life, these years, Yinhu asked himself that he and the emperor were in the same voice, what else could he not figure out?

In the early morning of this day, the sky was about to light up, and the emperor couldn't lie down any longer. He got up and walked lightly to the window, opened a corner slightly, and looked up at the blue sky outside the window.

After a while, Yinzhen only heard a soft voice coming from behind him leisurely.

"What is fourth brother doing standing here? I'm not afraid to brag about it." Yinhu got up at some point, walked behind Yinzhen, and put a long coat on the fourth brother's shoulders, with a look of resentment in his eyes.

Seeing that he had disturbed this person, the emperor turned back and took Yinhu into his arms, and simply pushed the window wider with the other hand.

The imperial garden is quiet, and the leisurely wind strikes secretly.Yinzhen's black eyes flickered slightly, and then there was another silence.

Yinhu was hugged tightly by the emperor, and felt even more strange in his heart. He raised his eyes to see the expression on the fourth brother's face, but couldn't tell what emotion it was.He couldn't help complaining: "Fourth brother is no different than before. After all, he is an old man, so how can he be so nonsense." As he said, he raised his hand to tighten the neckline for the emperor.

Taking advantage of the situation, Yinzhen grabbed Yinhu's hand and pressed it to his chest, whispering in Yinhu's ear, "Does Eighth Brother know what day it is today?"

Yinhu thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "August 21st is just an ordinary day."

The emperor smiled slightly, turned back, put his arms around Yinhu's shoulders, his black eyes locked on Yinhu's face warmed by the morning sun, and said slowly: "In my previous life, I couldn't afford to be sick today, and my condition took a turn for the worse. , 23 days is the limit."

Yinhu's eyebrows trembled, and he stretched out his hand to press the fourth brother's lips. He only felt a little trembling in his body, but fortunately he was held by the emperor's arms, and he managed to stand still.There was a flash of light in those bright eyes, and he opened his mouth, but he couldn't utter a word.

Yinhu regained his composure, then pushed the emperor half a step away, looked up and down several times, raised his hand and beat Yinzhen's tough chest, and said angrily: "Fourth brother is very good, what nonsense are you talking about."

Seeing Yinhu's rare flustered expression, the haze in the emperor's heart suddenly dissipated, and instead he calmly smiled and said, "Everything I said is the truth."

And Yinhu pursed her lips tightly when she heard the words, and only then did she understand the strangeness of the emperor for several months.At the beginning of the next year, the defense of the capital will be greatly adjusted. I'm afraid it is the emperor's plan for a rainy day.

"Fourth brother..." Yinhu sighed negatively, but what followed was an inexplicable dull pain in the apex of her heart.He muttered a few words of "fourth brother", but there was no more words.

Seeing that Yinhu couldn't hide his sadness, Yinzhen hurriedly hugged him in his arms again, pretending to be relaxed, and comforted him: "Those are old things in the past, this life is not like the eighth brother said, my body is very good .”

Yinhu took advantage of the situation and buried his face in the emperor's chest, letting all sorts of emotions surge in his heart.In just half a moment, he thought of the Guozuo Sheji of the Qing Dynasty, the unstable status of the youngest son, and even more...the time spent with the fourth brother in these years.

Thinking of this, Yinhu felt his waist tighten, and was carried back to the couch by the emperor.

"Look, it's you. After standing for a while, your body is completely cold." The emperor wrapped Yinhu in a thin quilt, but Yinhu turned his head and turned his back to him.

"After all, the eighth brother can't let me go." The emperor looked at Yinhu's back for a while, and then slowly uttered this sentence.

Yinhu covered her head under the quilt a little shyly, only to hear the hearty laughter of the emperor behind her.

For the next two days, the emperor and the prince stayed behind closed doors in the bedroom, except for two meals and a few refreshments every day, the whole group retreated to the outer courtyard to wait.

The emperor was very happy, but the prince was often silent.Yinzhen smiled and sighed: "I knew that this would make my eighth brother tired of staying by my side day and night. I told you about this a few years ago."

"Fourth brother is feeling unwell, why don't Imperial Doctor Xuan come in and have a look." Yinhu walked a few steps anxiously, thinking that the similarities and differences of these two lives are mixed, and there is no way to be sure, for fear that something bad will happen to the fourth brother today.

Yinzhen pulled Yinhu who was dangling in front of her eyes, a little dumbfounded and said: "A few days ago, I was also worried, but now that it's really come to this day, I feel calm."

"Fourth brother said it lightly. How can the safety of the emperor's sacrament be the slightest difference? Fourth brother is so entrusted with it, in case there is a mistake..." Yinhu paused slightly at this point before continuing: "Honghao is young , is still an embarrassing task."

The emperor pulled Yinhu to sit beside him, shook his hand and said, "You still have this."

Yinhu slowly raised her eyes, stared at the emperor for a while, and said in a deep voice: "It's so boring to stay alone."

Seeing that Yinhu was rarely emotional, the emperor leaned forward and kissed his trembling eyelashes, and said in a slow voice: "You don't know my body, it's like a dragon and a tiger, never let my eighth brother down."

Yinhu's heart softened just now, but was provoked by the emperor's frivolous words, and immediately raised his eyes to stare at the fourth brother, but unexpectedly Yinzhen smiled, that smile was quite malicious.

Before Yinhu could react in time, the emperor had already overturned him on the soft couch, only to hear the fourth brother laughing and saying: "Eighth brother doesn't believe it, why don't you experience it yourself."

Yinhu didn't know what the emperor wanted to do, this time he didn't give in as easily as in the past, he pushed the emperor away forcefully, and said involuntarily: "Fourth brother, let's save money today, if you are tired, just lie down by yourself, don't make a fuss. Anyway."

The emperor dusted off his clothes rather boringly, and sat upright. Seeing Yinhu's face was gloomy, he thought that there was no hope for today, and he probably could only survive tomorrow before he could kiss her.

It was boring for a long time, and finally when it was time to light the lamps, the emperor and the prince settled down.

The emperor was perfectly fine, half asleep and half awake, naturally he felt that the person next to his pillow was tossing and turning, and it seemed difficult to fall asleep.

Yinzhen tightened his arms, clamped Yinhu in his arms, and said softly: "The eighth brother is so sad, I think this life is worth it."

Seeing that the emperor hadn't fallen asleep, Yinhu was slightly startled, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "If the fourth elder brother dares to let go, I will immediately take Hong Hao and the other three out of the palace to hide the mountains and forests, so that I won't care about what the emperor left behind." stall."

Yinzhen only chuckled a few times when he heard this, he knew that Yinhu's words were angry, and the old man was used to being tough with his words.So the emperor didn't open his eyes, just sighed softly: "That's fine, as long as the eighth brother is at ease."

Yinhu just felt that every sentence was like punching cotton, which could neither relieve his anger nor let go of his mind, but made himself even more disturbed.

The emperor stroked Yinhu's waist with one hand, rubbed Yinhu's palm with the other, as if thinking of something, smiled in the dark night, and said leisurely: "At my age, sooner or later I will take a step first. In the past, every time I thought about this place, I always felt Unwilling, I figured it out today."

As the emperor said, he leaned sideways on Yinhu's body, the summer night was bright, and under the bright moonlight, his black eyes were extraordinarily clear.Yinzhen propped up his arms, hanging close to Yinhu, the two breathed each other, and their gentle scents complemented each other.

The emperor said: "One day, the eighth brother will think about me day and night, and never forget it."

After hearing this, Yinhu slowly stretched out his hand to caress Yinzhen's forehead.In the moonlight, the fingertips rubbed together to outline the emperor's face.

I don't know if the emperor's arm lost strength, or the prince's hand exerted strength.The emperor fell down quickly, his lips intersected, and his body overlapped, inseparable.

Yongzheng 13th year, August 23rd.

This morning, the dawn was early, and the emperor was still dressed in single clothes, standing in front of the window in the dim light of dawn.

But Yinhu still came slowly, and gently put the long gown on the emperor's shoulders.

Yinzhen turned around and looked at Yinhu, watching him tighten the neckline for herself, watching him fasten the buttons for herself.

Perhaps Yinhu's technique was too slow, or the morning sun in autumn rose too fast.

In a trance, the room is already bright.

Outside the window, the autumn wind is refreshing.In the years to come, there will be no predictions and no memories.

There is only peace in one life, and deep love in two lives.
