Qing Dynasty Chronicle

Yinzhen watched Yinreng walking towards him with a smile, then stood still in front of him, and said to himself in such a gentle tone, "I thought, we haven't seen each other for so long, you don't remember the second brother anymore."

Yinzhen opened his mouth to speak, but his throat was so congested that he could only lower his head and stare at the string of Buddhist beads in Yinreng's hand. Compared with the appearance when he gave it to him before, the warm and delicate luster is very good It clearly shows how its owner wears it on his hand and caresses it every day.

Yinzhen knew that Yinreng would be released by Kangxi, but when the other party really stood in front of him, Yinzhen had an unreal feeling-is the matter of abolishing the prince really over like this?The self who was trembling because he knew where he was going; the self who begged hard to prevent Yinreng from going to tragedy; Myself; facing Yinreng who was humiliated by Yinfeng, but trying to hold back all the anger in my heart... So many ups and downs, looking back now, such a period of time that was clouded and overwhelmed , It almost makes people despair, but now it's all over, how unrealistic!

Yinreng stood in front of Yinzhen and watched Yinzhen staring at his wrist in a daze, watching the expression of sadness and joy on his face, watching Yinzhen twitching the corners of his mouth to laugh, but the tears were unconscious He fell down, felt a pain in his heart, took a step forward and hugged Yinzhen into his arms without much thought, "The last time, the second brother assures you, this is the last time, and I will never let fourteen Brother is so sad, okay?"

Yinzhen also felt that it was annoying for a big man with such well-developed lacrimal glands. Here he was desperately trying to hold back the tears, but a warm hug from Yinfeng and an apologetic promise over there made Yinzhen finally Unable to control it, he buried his face in Yinrong's arms and wept silently—he was so tired and scared these days!

Feeling that his chest was wet, Yinfeng pursed his lips, reached out and patted Yinzhen's back, "It's okay, Fourteen, there will never be a next time."

Yinzhen, who released the pressure of these days through tears, felt a little embarrassed when his emotions stabilized. He retreated from Yinreng's arms, wiped away his tears with his hand, looked aside, and asked with a slightly red face, "Didn't Khan Ama ask you to go to Xian'an Palace to recuperate? Why are you here again?"

Yinreng looked at the face that Yinzhen had wiped into a cat's face with his own hands, held back his smile, took out a handkerchief and wiped Yinzhen's face while saying, "A few days ago, Ama Khan called me to talk, and said Later, I said that after living for so many years, apart from being a prince and being locked up for self-reflection, I have never once experienced what it’s like to be an ordinary person, even an ordinary elder brother. Later, Khan Ama asked me to go to Here it comes."

When Yinfeng said this, Yinzhen remembered the letter he had held in his hand, and quickly opened it to read it. Kangxi explained in the letter that Yinzhen said that through his observation and understanding these days, it was probably due to Yinzhen's mind is pure, so even in the days when Yinreng was suppressed by Yinzhen, he could maintain a little sobriety when he was with Yinzhen.Now, although the nightmare suppressant has been removed, it has been learned through interrogation that Yinfeng’s suppressing nightmare has been going on for several years, especially for Yinrenghua. Now that Yinreng is still unstable, I don’t want him Staying in the palace is affected, and at the same time, he also knows that Yinzhen is working hard these days, so he simply gave Yinzhen a long vacation and asked him to accompany Yinreng to cultivate in another courtyard for a few days...

After reading the letter, the corners of Yinzhen's mouth felt like twitching. The emotional old man is treating himself like a psychiatrist!But now that the matter of abolishing the prince is over, Yinzhen really feels very tired. Since Kangxi is willing to give himself a long vacation to let himself relax regardless of those mundane things, then he has no reason to refuse.

Yinzhen folded the letter and stuffed it back into the envelope, then raised his head and raised his eyebrows to look at Yinfeng, "So, are we recuperating here at public expense?"

"Rehabilitation at public expense?" Yinfeng smiled as he looked at Yinzhen who had returned to his usual shrewd look after crying, "That's a new word."

"It's not fresh, it's a good thing!" Yinzhen, who came back to life, waved his hand, "Think about it, Khan Ama asked us to come to this other courtyard to rest for a few days. During such a period of time, we can eat and drink It’s useful, so don’t spend money! Anyway, Khan Ama didn’t ask me for money, so did he ask my second brother for money?”

"That's not true." Yinfeng didn't check for a while, and actually followed Yinzhen's thinking, but fortunately he came back quickly, raised his hand and knocked on Yinzhen's forehead, "Don't be so outspoken, by Khan When Ma hears this, she must hit you on the board!"

"It really didn't end well these days to tell the truth." Yinzhen covered his forehead and muttered, seeing that Yinreng wanted to speak again, he quickly changed the subject, "Hey, second brother, did you use dinner? I I was brought here by Eunuch Liang just after returning from a business trip from the Ministry of Industry, and I haven’t eaten anything yet, but I’m a little hungry right now.”

Yinreng looked at Yinzhen who was not pretending to caress his belly in front of him at all, and shook his head, "Me neither."

After hearing this, Yinzhen turned his head and looked around, "Then let's find someone to prepare some meals for you." After talking, Yinzhen wanted to go out of the courtyard, and was going to find the steward of another courtyard.

But before he took two steps, he was held back by Yinfeng.

Yinzhen turned to look at Yinreng, "What's wrong, second brother?"

Yinreng looked at Yinzhen and said seriously, "I'm not afraid of my fourteenth brother's jokes when I say this. Since my fourteenth brother gave me noodles last time, I can't forget the taste, so... ..."

After talking about it, Yinfeng was also a little embarrassed, but Yinzhen was very understanding and nodded happily, "OK, then let's eat noodles later, I'll knead the noodles!"

As he said that, he turned his head and called the steward who appeared out of nowhere to take him to the kitchen of this other courtyard, and started to knead the dough nimbly.

Yinzhen didn't like to be surrounded by people waiting around when doing things, so he drove out all the cooks and wives in the kitchen, and he was the only one left busy inside.

At this time, the sky was completely dark, and lanterns and candles were already lit in the house, including the kitchen.

Yinreng just stood at the door of the kitchen like that, looking at Yinzhen's soft side face shrouded in the slightly yellow candlelight, Yinreng himself didn't realize how tender and nostalgic his eyes were, he only felt that as long as he saw The person in the house, his demons, no longer existed, and there was only peace in his heart.

Yinfeng has been the prince for more than [-] years, with his pride and dignity, when faced with those deliberate humiliation and ridicule, how many times did he twist through the Buddhist beads that Yinzhen gave him one by one, It was only after recalling the scene of Yinzhen reciting the Diamond Sutra to himself over and over again that he endured it.

For more than 40 days and nights when he fell from the clouds into the mud, Yinreng's mood went from a momentary blankness to restlessness and resentment to panic and bewilderment to the final silence. During this time, he thought about many people and many things , thinking over and over again, over and over again, but in the end, the faces of all the people became blurred in Yinfeng's mind, leaving only the faces of Han Ama and Yinzhen in his heart as before clear and vivid.The former made Yinreng feel mixed emotions, while the latter was the only existence that made Yinreng smile involuntarily during those days.

When Yinzhen was still Sheng Mingzhen, he made breakfast for Sheng Mingrui for the first time when he was a sophomore, a fried egg, a cup of milk, and a few slices of bread—all done by him standing on a stool.Sheng Mingzhen knew that he was still a child, so he was extra careful and concentrated when standing in front of the stove and frying eggs.This habit has been accompanied by him growing up, until now, as Yinzhen, he still continues this habit, concentrating on doing a series of tasks in an orderly manner, until he turns around with two bowls of noodles and prepares to go out of the kitchen and call Yinreng for dinner When I saw Yinreng standing silently at the door, I was taken aback, "Oh, second brother, why are you standing here so silent?"

Yinfeng smiled and stepped forward to take the tray from Yinzhen's hand, "Seeing you are so serious, I'm embarrassed to bother you."

"Looking at someone standing there suddenly surprised me." Yinzhen felt that his heart was still beating a little faster, "After waiting for so long, the second brother must be hungry, right?"

Having grown to such a big size, Yinreng did the job of serving dishes for the first time, but he still served them in a decent manner. While walking with Yinzhen to the dining room, he shook his head and said, "Fortunately, I'm not too hungry."

"It's just kneading the dough that takes time..." Yinzhen explained as he walked.

The two brothers came to the dining room together, and Yinfeng saw that noodles were brought to the table. The two sat facing each other, each took a pair of chopsticks, looked at each other, smiled, buried their heads and started to move.

Men always eat faster, and it didn't take long for the two bowls of noodles to bottom out.

Yinzhen took the last sip of soup and patted his stomach contentedly, "In this kind of weather, I have to drink something so hot."

Yinreng followed Yinzhen's example and picked up the bowl to drink up the soup, then put down his chopsticks and said, "Then the person who makes the noodles has good craftsmanship, if the noodles are half-cooked, I'm afraid it will be difficult to eat. Think about it, I have eaten all kinds of delicacies in this world, but in my heart, this bowl of noodles from my fourteenth brother is the most delicious."

Yinzhen rubbed his arms exaggeratedly, "Hey, second brother, your compliments are too much, I have goosebumps."

"Are you so pessimistic about yourself?" Yinfeng asked with a smile.

"I still don't know what level I am!" Yinzhen, who gradually calmed down, became more relaxed in front of Yinrong, "Second brother, you are hungry, so you think this is the supreme delicacy .Have you heard the story about the Pearl, Jade and White Jade Soup made by Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty?"

"Tell me." Yinfeng shook his head, expressing his interest.

"It's about one year, Zhu Yuanzhang..." Yinzhen didn't hold back, and just talked to Yinreng.

When the two brothers met again, neither of them mentioned the days before that, they just chatted about some irrelevant topics for a long time, until Yinzhen got a little sleepy, they went back to their rooms to take a shower and go to sleep.

Yinfeng had just finished taking a shower and was about to go to bed, when there was a knock on the door, and when he opened it, it was Yinzhen, who was still covered with moisture, it was obvious that he came over just after taking a shower.

"What's the matter? What's the matter with the fourteenth brother?" Yinfeng said while turning sideways to let Yinzhen come in.

Yinzhen stood at the door without moving, just waved his hands, "It's nothing, I just came to say good night to my second brother." Then he stepped forward and hugged Yinfeng, "Good night, second brother, if you have anything to do at night Find me next door!" After finishing speaking, he turned around and left without waiting for Yinfeng to reply.

Yinreng looked at Yinzhen's jumping back, shook his head with a smile, and said to himself, "This is being coaxed by him as a child." Then he closed the door again.

When lying on the bed, Yinreng felt that the sweet fragrance of Yinzhen's body was still lingering on his body, and he didn't know what he thought of. Yinreng smiled silently, then closed his eyes and fell asleep slowly.
