Qing Dynasty Chronicle

September is the most beautiful season in Beijing, the blue sky is bright and the air is crisp, but Yinzhen at this time is not as clear as this rare good weather, and the grief and indignation in his heart almost burst through his chest.

"Aren't you going to eat? Who are you showing your face to? You thought you were the prince?"

"Today is different from the past, do you still think that you can taste delicacies from mountains and seas, swallows, ginseng and abalone's fin? Wake up, you should also think about who you are now!"

……

The broken porcelain bowl, the turbid gruel like swill, the thin layer of licorice, and the iron chain around the neck and waist, Yinzhen's nails almost stuck into his palms to prevent him from rushing in. He slashed the little eunuch who was sneering at Yinrong with a single knife.

If it is said that the little eunuch's humiliation of Yinfeng caused Yinzhen's great anger, then the later confrontation with Yinfeng made Yinzhen's eyes full of sadness.

"He is just a sinful person who is unfilial, unrighteous, violent, and promiscuous. How do you want this king to treat him? All supplies are compared with the prince? Clothes, jade, food, and embrace?"

"Brother? This king would not dare to have such a crazy and shameless brother who is trying to kill his father!"

"Khan Ama asked the king and Sibeile to guard Yinreng. It was originally to strictly prohibit idlers from approaching the curtain. Fourteenth brother, you are still young, and you will inevitably be deceived by Yinreng's rhetoric on weekdays. Looking at his current appearance, I feel heartbroken. I am sympathetic, now listen to my elder brother's advice, don't be obsessed with it. It is inevitable that people will go wrong in life, but it is good not to be wrong to the end..."

After coming out of the Shangsi courtyard, Yinzhen was escorted to the gate of the palace by the young lady sent by Yinzhen. He watched as he got into the carriage and sat in the carriage. rattle.How dare he, how dare he treat his brother like this!Even though Prince Yinfeng was deposed, he was still a prince, how dare Yinfeng insult him like this, how dare he!Thinking about it, Yinzhen's eyes were almost tearing apart, and he slammed his fist on the seat in the carriage, "Park the car! Go back to the palace!"

Yinzhen, who was exuding soaring anger, went back and forth like this, striding towards the Qianqing Palace. He wanted to read Yinzhen's book in front of Kangxi, and he wanted Yinzhen to pay for his own despicable behavior!

Yinzhen, who had the aura of meeting gods and killing gods and Buddhas, was about to walk to the gate of Qianqing Palace, but slowly slowed down, and the anger on his face gradually faded. Seeing Kangxi, what should he say? ?Said his eldest son abused his son?Let him sleep on hay and eat slop?Let the little eunuch humiliate Yinfeng every day?Yes, that's right, that's what Yinzhen planned to do at the beginning, but when he saw the Qianqing Palace not far away, Yinzhen suddenly remembered Kangxi's old and tired face, and all the anger in his heart was at that moment. It was suppressed in an instant.

The imperial physician had said before that Kangxi had symptoms of a small stroke. What would happen to Kangxi, who had already been exhausted by the Yinfeng incident, when he heard such a thing?Even when he was furious, Kangxi never thought of treating Yinreng harshly, but secretly, his eldest son did something inferior to a beast. Can Kangxi accept this reality?

Yinzhen hesitated and regretted it. After several years of getting along with Kangxi, he gave him the long-lost fatherly love. He never wanted to see Kangxi sad and disappointed again.Yinfeng's matter, even if it doesn't go through Kangxi, there is a way to solve it. Yinzhen believes that these low-level tricks that Yinfeng has done do not dare to let Kangxi know. Come out, if he dares to come to the door, he will simply tear himself apart, he has no brother in his eyes, why should he recognize such a cold-blooded and ruthless brother!

With so many thoughts going around in his mind, Yinzhen took a deep breath, turned around and walked towards the direction he came from.

But just before he had gone far, he ran into Liang Jiugong head-on.

Liang Jiugong suddenly saw Yinzhen, was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Brother Fourteen is auspicious."

Yinzhen took a deep breath, with a smile on his face, "Eunuch Liang."

Liang Jiugong just left for a while, and he couldn't tell why Yinzhen came here, so he greeted him with a smile, "Where did the fourteenth brother come from?"

Yinzhen secretly regretted that it was not the right time. If he left Liang Jiugong rashly at this time, he would definitely sue Kangxi, so he didn't have to make him doubt, so he smiled and said, "I just came from my mother-in-law, so I thought about it. Come to say hello to Ama Khan. I just walked here, thinking that Ama Khan is probably dealing with official business at this time, so I think it’s better not to disturb Ama Khan.”

These days, Kangxi has seen Yinzhen's importance and love for Liang Jiugong. Seeing that Yinzhen wanted to leave, he hurriedly persuaded him to stay, "Oh, it's just a coincidence that the fourteenth brother came here. Long live God just dealt with it." After finishing official duties, Elder Brother Fourteen is here just to talk to Lord Long Live to relieve fatigue."

Liang Jiugong had reached this point, Yinzhen couldn't refuse anymore, nodded and entered Qianqing Palace together.

Kangxi was also a little surprised when he saw his son who came suddenly, his eyes paused on Yinzhen's clothes, and then he asked, "Why are you here? What's the matter?"

Yinzhen stood up and smiled after greeting her, "It's nothing, I just came out from Er Niang's place, and suddenly wanted to greet Khan Ama, so I came here."

Now Kangxi loves Yinzhen even more, even after listening to Yinzhen's casual words, he is not angry, he just laughed and scolded, "You can do whatever you want, you can do whatever you want." He pointed to the couch at Yinzhen The seat on the table, "Sit down, you are in a hurry today, I just asked Liang Jiugong to prepare tea. Looking at you, I am thinking of you, and I will share half with you later."

Yinzhen looked at Kangxi who was very old and childish towards him, and sneered, "Don't feel bad about Khan Ama."

"You think everyone is as stingy as you." Kangxi gave Yinzhen a white look, "It hurts me for a long time to take out anything!"

Yinzhen followed Kangxi's words and called Qu, "Who is Khan Ama talking about? My son is not like this."

Kangxi snorted, "Who should say the word!"

Yinzhen, "..."

When Liang Jiugong brought the tea and snacks, Kangxi, Yinzhen and his son sat on the edge and started using it. During the conversation, Kangxi glanced at Yinzhen several times while talking, but Yinzhen had something on his mind and didn't notice.

Later, Kangxi frowned slightly, put down the snack in his hand, and said, "Speaking of which, since I returned to the palace, I haven't eaten your food for a long time. Now that I think about it, I'm still a little greedy. Since you have nothing to do now, why don't you cook for Khan Ama?"

Yinzhen had no doubts about Kangxi's sudden request, and nodded briskly, "What does Khan Ama want to eat? My son will do it now."

Kangxi smiled, "Let's make a small bowl of noodles. I think the ones I ate last time were very chewy and refreshing."

"Hey." Yinzhen stood up and responded, "Nahhan Ama and so on."

"Yeah." Kangxi nodded, watching Yinzhen suppress the smile on his face after being taken to the small kitchen by the little eunuch, and waved at Liang Jiugong, "Go and find out where the fourteenth brother went and who he met , what did you do, and then come and report to me.”

Liang Jiugong saw Kangxi's serious expression, so he straightened his face, "Hey."

Making noodles is a labor-intensive job, so Liang Jiugong came with news before Yinzhen's noodles were served.

Kangxi looked at Liang Jiugong's face with an unnatural expression, and frowned, "What's wrong? Where did Fourteen go just now?"

"Going back to Lord Long Live, the fourteenth elder brother just went to the Siyuan." Liang Jiugong pretended to be full of the news he had just inquired about, thinking about how to report this matter.

"Go to Siyuan?" Kangxi stopped writing, and his voice became cold, "What is he doing there? Visiting Yinreng? Didn't I say that no one is allowed to visit Yinreng?"

Liang Jiugong knelt down with a thud, "Go back to the words of the Long Live Lord, the fourteenth elder brother, I haven't seen the second elder brother."

"No?" Kangxi was puzzled, but when he saw Liang Jiugong's hesitant face, his tone was a little impatient, "What are you hesitating for! I asked you and said it in detail. Could it be that you want to mention someone to hide?" No?"

"I don't dare!" Liang Jiugong quickly denied it, and said everything he knew like pouring beans into a bamboo tube, "The fourteenth elder brother didn't see the second elder brother, but he had a conflict with the king of Zhijun..."

In this way, Kangxi still knows all about the assholes that Yinzhen did to Yinreng that Yinzhen wanted to hide.

"This bastard!" Kangxi's face turned livid when he heard it, and the teacup in his hand was swept to the ground.

This was similar to what Liang Jiugong had estimated in his heart, but he still fell on the ground and persuaded, "Lord Long Live, calm down!"

"Calm down? How do you tell me to calm down? Huh?" The more Kangxi thought about it, the more angry he got up, he stood up and shouted at Liang Jiugong, "Who is Yinfeng, his own brother! He can do such a bastard despicable thing, Does he still care about brotherhood? Huh?"

……

Now that Kangxi is in a fit of anger, Liang Jiugong can only repeatedly persuade Kangxi to be happy for him.

After a seizure, Kangxi was panting heavily, and the little eunuch over there came to report, "Brother Fourteen is here."

Kangxi glanced at the cup on the ground, Liang Jiugong understood and asked the little eunuch to clean it up and served Kangxi a new cup of tea. Kangxi said, "Let me deal with the little eunuch who brought food to Yinfeng." Liang Jiugong responded, and only then did Yinzhen come in.

When Yinzhen came in, Kangxi's mood was almost sorted out, so Yinzhen didn't find anything wrong, he just said that the bowl of noodles was presented to Kangxi, "Khan Ama, try the freshly made noodles."

"Yeah." Kangxi glanced at Yinzhen, reached out and picked up a chopsticks noodle, put it into his mouth, chewed it a few times and nodded, "That's the taste."

Yinzhen was very happy to hear that, "Khan Ama just use it well."

Having just heard the news of chest tightness, Kangxi really didn't have any appetite, so he stopped after using a few chopsticks, and asked Liang Jiugong to wait for him to rinse his mouth.

Seeing that more than half of the noodles were left, Yinzhen was a little puzzled, "Khan Ama..."

Kangxi waved his hand and said, "It was because I was greedy and ate a few extra dim sum just now, but I can't eat any more now."

Yinzhen patted his chest, "My son thought it was because his cooking was not tasty, Khan Ama reluctantly ate a few mouthfuls before putting down his chopsticks in order not to make his son feel sad."

Kangxi looked at Yinzhen with a smile, "I might care about your emotions, but I won't comfort you and wrong me about cooking."

Seeing Kangxi's narrow look, Yinzhen laughed along with him.

After talking with Kangxi for a while, Kangxi said, "I still have some papers to approve, so you should go back to your residence earlier."

When Yinzhen heard the words, he got up and knelt down to prepare to leave, but when he turned around, he was stopped by Kangxi again.

Yinzhen looked at Kangxi, Kangxi's expression was calm, "Send this bowl of noodles to Yinfeng, I'm afraid I haven't tasted his brother's cooking since I grew up."

Such a non-emotional sentence made Yinzhen stunned on the spot, and after a while he lowered his head in a concealed manner, and responded, "Hey."

Coming to Shangsi Courtyard again, Yinzhen opened the curtain, looked at the figure with his back to him, and called out, "Second brother."

Yinfeng moved his body, but he didn't turn his head around and didn't speak.

Yinzhen pursed his lips, and put the bowl of noodles on the stool he had someone move, "Today, Khan Ama asked me to make him a bowl of noodles, he ate some, and I brought the rest to the second Brother, try it."

Yinfeng remained motionless, like a statue.

Yinzhen looked at Yinreng's back quietly for a long time, and then said, "I put the noodles here, the second brother remembers to eat, the younger brother will go first." Then he turned and left.

Just as his hand touched the curtain and wanted to lift it up, Yin Reng's voice sounded, "Is Fourteenth Brother disappointed in me?"

Yinzhen turned around and looked at Yinreng, who was still facing away from him, and asked softly, "Is the second brother calm?"

Yinzhen's answer was silence.

Yinzhen looked at Yinreng's back quietly for a while, sighed, opened the curtain and left without saying another word.

On the other side, Qianqing Palace.

Kangxi listened to the report from the eunuch who had gone with Yinzhen, and then asked, "How did Brother Fourteen look when he left?"

The little eunuch replied, "Going back to Lord Long Live, Brother Fourteen looks a little tired."

Kangxi asked again, "What about the second elder brother?"

The little eunuch replied, "Second Elder Brother waited for Fourteenth Elder Brother to leave and ate the noodles, then twirled the Buddhist beads in his hand, closed his eyes and meditated, and did not move again."

"Buddhist beads?" Kangxi repeated, and suddenly remembered that there was an extra string of Buddhist beads on Yinreng's wrist at some point. In retrospect, Kangxi noticed from the corner of his eyes the eunuch who was sent to kneel on the ground before Yinreng was serving him Yugui seemed to have something to say, so he asked, "What do you want to say? Do you know the origin of that Buddhist bead?"

"Going back to Lord Long Live, the string of Buddhist beads in the second elder brother's hand was given by the fourteenth elder brother. It is said that the fourteenth elder brother asked for it in Putuo Temple in Fujian that year." Yugui fell on the ground tremblingly and said, "Master is very happy." It’s because I like the string of Buddhist beads that I almost never leave my body.”

From childhood to adulthood, Kangxi has given Yinreng many precious things, but he likes one thing so much, which makes Kangxi a little surprised, his eyes are a little deep, "On weekdays, the second elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother walk very close? "

"Going back to Lord Long Live, the slave was called by his master to serve him a while ago this year's tour outside the Great Wall. The slave is not very clear about what happened before. But on this tour, the fourteenth elder brother did meet with the slave's master. They walked very close, and sometimes they even got up and lay down together." Yugui replied in a [-], "Sometimes the master wakes up at night when he sleeps, and it is the [-]th elder brother who recited the scriptures for the master to calm the master down. .”

"What? Yinreng woke up from sleep? When did it happen?" Hearing the last sentence, Kangxi's half-closed eyes suddenly opened, looked at Yugui with burning eyes, and asked, "How can this situation happen?" How long?"

Yugui was so frightened by Kangxi's change of tone that cold sweat broke out on his back, and he fell on the ground and dared not lift his head, "When I was still in Yuqing Palace, I heard that my master was not sleeping well. On the road outside the Great Wall, the slave did indeed see his master wake up from his dream several times. Later, when the fourteenth elder brother was sleeping with the master, the master woke up again. The fourteenth elder brother recited the Diamond Sutra to the master several times. It gradually settled down. Later, the master woke up several times in the night, and it was the fourteenth brother who comforted the master."

"Why didn't anyone report this to me?" Kangxi frowned and asked.

Yugui replied, "Back to what the Lord Long Live said, the master won't let the slaves say it."

"Besides this, is there anything wrong with your master?" Kangxi's expression became serious, and he asked in a serious tone.

"Return to Long Live Lord." Yugui felt his legs trembling a little, "I feel that the master has become much more irritable in recent days..."

Yugui racked his brains thinking about the changes between Yinreng and before, and Kangxi's brows became tighter the more he listened.

At the end, Yugui really couldn't think of anything, and Kangxi didn't ask any more questions, and waved his hand to let Liang Jiugong take the two of them down, and sat alone in the room with deep eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
