so

The birth of Hongchang was Yinhu's biggest surprise since her rebirth.Yinhu never thought that he would have a son so early.Kangxi personally bestowed the name on Chang, only a concubine, but got such a good name, which made Yinhu a little envious.Chang, the meaning of Yongri, if he can support him, Hongchang may be the eldest son of Yinhu.Yinhu thought that it would be difficult for Wanning's heirs. If there is no legitimate son in this life, the eldest son will be the eldest son in the future, and it is a good thing to be favored by Khan Ama.

This is the first time Yinhu eagerly wants to go back since he left the capital in the fall of Kangxi 34.He wanted to see his son, and also wanted to send that poor little girl off.Yinhu hadn't seen Namu for almost a year. At that time, he only slept together for more than ten days. Yinhu couldn't even remember her appearance clearly. Raise points to find a real vacancy for her Ama.After all, it was the woman who followed him, Yinhu thought that he couldn't do too much to her.But who would have thought that this child would leave just like that.Yinhu desperately recalled what her face looked like, but only vaguely recalled that she was a weak and somewhat reckless little girl. Yinhu didn't even know how he would describe Eniang to his son when the child grew up in the future.

Having a concubine before she got married, Wan Ning might have gone mad with anger.At this time, Wan Ning was still young and didn't have the bad temper that Yinhu was used to. Although her temper was a little more straightforward, she had been brought up according to the rules of Prince Fujin over the years, so she would not do anything excessive.Encountering such unfavorable things, I can only swallow my heartache and marry in to be Hongchang's mother-in-law.Wan Ning's heart is not bad, Hongchang's mother is gone, no matter how wronged she feels, she will definitely take good care of him.

Yinhu was wandering alone in the woods outside the camp.After winning the battle but failing to catch Galdan, Yinhu's mood has always been very complicated. He was looking forward to the miraculous effect of the ambush in Hang'ai Mountain, but he was afraid that the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.Therefore, when I have something on my mind these days, I always like to take a stroll in this forest.There are Fei Yanggu and Sun Sike in all kinds of military affairs, so he doesn't need to worry too much.Yinhu felt that only in this dense forest could he find a moment of peace.

But sometimes, even this peace is such a luxury.

Yinzhen rode a horse and brought four bags of kumiss to look for Yinhu.Seeing it from a distance, Yinhu wanted to avoid it, but Yinzhen had already seen it.If it's not good, I really ignore it, so I can only wait for him under the tree.Yinzhen rode there in a blink of an eye, got off the horse, and rushed over with two wine bags in his hand.Raising his hand and throwing one to Yinhu, he said: "We won the battle, but the eighth brother still owes the fourth brother a drink. Now that you have a son, we have to drink something to celebrate."

"Fourth brother, you're being polite. I'm just afraid that the child's fortune will be poor, and we won't be able to bear us celebrating." Yinhu replied indifferently, and did not give Yinzhen any good looks.

"What's the matter with you, didn't you have a good two days?" Yinzhen pondered for a while, but thought of the child's mother who died that day, and thought of the rumors that had been circulating in the palace last year, he couldn't help thinking Thinking about it, he said: "Are you sad for Hongchang's mother? Could it be that there are rumors in the palace that it's not just the servants who gossip, but that you really have some affection for the Guerjia family? You have only met for twenty days !"

Yinhu looked up at Yinzhen's already gloomy face, and couldn't help laughing that the fourth brother was even more petty than Wanning, Wanning knew that it was nothing more than fighting openly, but Yinzhen's words were sour, and she was more jealous than a woman Still big.If Yinhu didn't worry about all those messy things in his heart, maybe he could still be interested in teasing Yinzhen, pretending to be deeply affectionate and unforgettable to make Yinzhen feel embarrassed.But at this time Yinhu just wanted to deal with it quickly, and just said: "No, I don't even remember Namu's appearance now. It's not that the fourth brother doesn't know how often children in the palace die. If you're not around, it's just a matter of worrying."

Hearing this, Yinzhen couldn't help feeling sad when he thought of his daughter who died young, and he came over and put his arms around Yinhu's shoulders, and said: "It will be fine, Hongchang was born on the day of the Great Victory in Zhaomo, he should be a blessed man." " After speaking, Yinhu sat down on a fallen tree trunk, took off the lid of the wine bag, and took a big gulp with his head raised.

What Yinzhen brought was the kumiss seized from the Erut army, the strongest and most spicy, and he drank it down in one gulp, until Yinzhen coughed several times, as uncomfortable as if a knife had been stuck in his throat.

Yinhu hurriedly helped Yinzhen calm down, and said: "Fourth brother, don't drink, this wine is too strong, be careful to get drunk."

"Good wine!" Yinzhen didn't seem to be the one who choked, picked up the wine bag, and took another big gulp, "Eighth brother also drinks! We agreed to drink, so you can accompany me this time."

Yinzhen is obviously using wine to relieve his worries.Yinhu instinctively wanted to ask him what was the matter, but when the words came to his lips, he changed his mind.In fact, Yinhu already understood Yinzhen's troubles, listening to him rambling, it would be easier to just accompany him to drink, it is impossible to leave him alone in the woods and go back.Yinhu also lifted the wine bag and took a few big gulps.

"The eighth brother is really happy!" Yinzhen's face was already a little red, and he raised his wine bag and said, "For the great victory of Chaomo!"

Yinhu also responded, "For the dead soldiers." The two men touched their wine bags and took a sip each.

The spicy kumiss burned from his lips to his intestines, Yinhu felt the heat in his stomach, and the cold dissipated, leaving only the aroma of the wine lingering.

"For the health of Ama Khan!" Yinzhen raised the wine bag again.

"For the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty." Yinhu faced Yinzhen again.

Yinzhen didn't talk much, he didn't say anything, he just kept looking for reasons to drink.The two drank one sip after another almost silently, and after a few rounds, the wine bag was half empty.

Yinzhen was a little drunk, his face was stained with a blush, his eyes narrowed, and he looked more and more confused. He finally put down the wine bag in his hand, came over to grab Yinhu's hand, and said, "So that we can drink together, Done!"

Yinhu froze for a moment.In the previous life, he and Yinzhen actually drank together often.When they were all young, among the older princes, the fourth child was indeed close to him in private.In comparison, in this life, the situation of indistinguishable closeness and closeness is much more distant than in the previous life.Yinzhen in this life sometimes makes Yinhu feel confused, he is obviously the same person, but he is clearly still different.This Yinzhen is sometimes too clever, but sometimes cute and silly.Compared with the terrifying opponent who had been hiding in the dark, this Yinzhen was still too immature, so immature that he fell in love.

Yinhu raised the wine bag and drank with Yinzhen without hesitation, the strong wine poured in, almost burning through the intestines.Yinhu never thought that after experiencing all kinds of things in the previous life, she would be able to sit down and drink with the fourth child one day.But looking at the rosy color on Yinzhen's face, and listening to the almost desperate toast that Yinzhen uttered, Yinhu felt that it was good to be able to drink so much.

The wine sac soon ran out, and Yinzhen choked again, coughing desperately, but still said between coughing: "Have a good time, let's drink again. I still have several bags."

Yinhu was also a little drunk, and there seemed to be many shadows flashing in front of his eyes.Helping Yinzhen calm down, Yinhu said: "Fourth brother is drunk, stop drinking."

"Nonsense, I'm not drunk, you're drunk!" Yinzhen coughed for a while, calmed down, and retorted Yinhu.

"Okay, I'm drunk, so fourth brother will take care of me, don't drink, it's fine." Yinhu is still conscious, but dizzy so badly that he can't help but feel dizzy when sitting.

"No. You promised to drink with me after winning the battle. I don't usually drink much, but today I finally want to drink, and you don't want to accompany me." Yinzhen complained.Before Yinhu can answer, Yinzhen seems to have opened the box of complaints, and all kinds of complaints poured out: "Obviously we were the best when we were young, but when you arrived at the Palace of Compassion, you ran to the Prince's side No matter how much the prince cares about you, he is just using you. The ninth brother can see it. Look at how he treats you. How can he look like a big brother? He doesn't mention anything you have done. Your credit is not ambiguous at all in front of Khan Ama. If you provoke him, he will not even give you face, and will not treat you as a brother at all. Only you have a sincere heart and really treat him as a brother. You I have a closer relationship with the eldest brother, so I won’t say anything, after all, I was raised by my mother when I was a child. The prince already has Han Ama, so why should you treat him sincerely.”

"There is also Lao Wu. Lao Wu is so dull that he can't even speak Manchu fluently, but you rush to teach him and accompany him to pay his respects. You also take care of him in Chaoshang. What is so good about him? Can you be so eager to get close? Doesn't he just take care of his own brother on weekdays?"

"Let's not talk about the younger brothers. It's okay to be old and ten, I can understand. But the fourteenth brother has been away from you for seven years, and he doesn't have a prominent mother's family. He is still a baby. Why do you treat him so well? What's wrong with me than Fourteen? We were both born to the same mother, and the friendship we grew up with was not as deep as that of a doll like him!"

"Yinhu, I know in your heart that I'm different from them. You never regarded me as an elder brother. What do we say today? I won't hide it, and you shouldn't hide it either. Tell me, do you regard me as an elder brother?" What?" Yinzhen said a lot of things in a row, and usually said what he wanted to say but couldn't say, he almost said it all at once.

Yinhu just listened quietly, drinking one sip after another.The burning sensation of the spirits passing through his intestines made him feel relaxed, and his whole body seemed to be floating, with an unreal joy.Yinhu was also drunk, so he smiled, squinted his eyes, pointed at Yinzhen and said, "I regard you as an opponent."

"Adversary?" Yinzhen pondered for a moment, then burst out laughing: "A good opponent, a good opponent, better than being my elder brother. I also regard you as an opponent. To be honest, there are so many elder brothers, no one has You are knowledgeable, the prince is arrogant and extravagant, the eldest is simple and straightforward, the third is pedantic, the fifth and seventh are mediocre, the ninth is vicious, the tenth is dull, and the rest are young, ten 34 looks a bit smart, In fact, they are all spoiled and can't get things done. Only you, who are so young and slick, are well-rounded and impeccable. You have only been in the Lifan Academy for half a year, and all the officials in the Lifan Academy look up to you. Even Fei Yanggu is unwilling to refute your face. With so many elder brothers, I am most afraid of you. I am lucky in this life to have you as my opponent."

"Fourth brother praises me. What's so good about being slick, if Khan Ama doesn't like it, I can be thrown into hell with a common remark." Yinhu said with a sad look on her face. with him.It's not that Yinhu doesn't know that what he is doing now is still extremely dangerous. He originally thought that he would not get involved in party struggles, not form party members, and not accept slaves, but his nature is like this. When it comes to political affairs, he deliberately restrains himself or shows his sharpness.

Yinzhen's mind suddenly realized that this might be Yinhu's only weakness.What matter, as long as the imperial power is involved, the love between father and son, brotherhood, is meaningless.Yinhu is going to go too far on this road, no matter who becomes the emperor, it is impossible to let him go.Slaves form cliques, which can still be manipulated, but princes form cliques, there are endless abuses.

Yinzhen has been in the court for a long time, so he naturally knows that the Ming Party and the Suo Party are fighting openly and secretly. If Mingzhu says black, Suo'etu must say nothing. When there is consensus.Kangxi has long been fed up with the fact that the trend of party and dissent has been accumulating in the court for a long time, especially now that the two of them have brought the elder brother and the prince together again, and the two sides are fighting happily.The two brothers, who had no feud at first, insisted on letting the party fight so that they no longer liked each other.It is conceivable how much Kangxi hated his courtiers for forming cliques.

Yinzhen was so drunk that he didn't care too much about the pros and cons, looking at Yinhu's sad eyes, he was so sad that he could hardly breathe, and for a moment he could only care about comforting him: "Don't worry too much about this. It's not too bad now, Khan Ama is relying on you. Don't get too close to the prince, especially don't pay with Suo'etu and the others. It's none of your business, so don't meddle in it. Take a break after doing a few errands, and avoid going around in private with officials, no one can blame you."

Yinzhen's advice stunned Yinhu.He never thought that such words could come from Yinzhen's mouth, and the drunken chaos made him feel that everything was an illusion.

Seeing that Yinhu didn't respond, Yinzhen went on to say: "I know you are high-minded and want to fight for the top. I know what you think in your heart, and I do the same. It's not good for a concubine's mother to come from a bad family background. I'm from the Yonghe Palace. Er Niang is not much better, even though she is the lord of the first palace now, how many servants in the palace are talking behind her back. I feel uncomfortable, and you probably don't feel much better. Even if you are raised by Er Niang How, no matter how kind Er Niang is to me, she can’t give me the background of my ninth brother. Like the eldest brother of the prince, like the old nine and ten, they are born with a good life. If we are not envious, we can only fight for it. You think Yes, I understand it all, but the incompetent is abandoned, and the virtuous is taboo. Eighth brother Taixian, don’t talk about others, can the crown prince tolerate you? If you treat people sincerely, aren’t you afraid that everyone will betray your sincerity?”

"Fourth brother doesn't treat people with sincerity, how can he know what he can get in return?"

Yinzhen hugged Yinhu from behind, both of them were in casual clothes without armor, Yinzhen rested his chin on Yinhu's shoulder, breathed lightly on his neck, leaned closer to Yinhu's ear and said : "Fourth brother can only be sincere to you. If you betray me, I will never believe in sincerity from now on."

After finishing speaking, Yinzhen leaned forward, turned his head, and gently kissed the corner of Yinhu's lips.
