Liquidation

Yinhu himself went to the palace to tell Concubine Liang about the news of Yaertan's death. Concubine Liang shed tears at that time, and then gave many things to the newborn child.

When the news reached Kangxi, Kangxi also sighed: "It's not easy to be a mother."

Maybe he thought of the prince's biological mother, Queen Hesheli. Yinhu looked at Kangxi, who was still in his prime, and he must have felt the same way when he admitted that he had killed three queens in a row. Yinhu felt a little sympathy for a while.He took the initiative to call out: "Huang Ama, I dare you to ask Huang Ama to give your grandson a name."

Kangxi was a little surprised, presumably he had never seen Yinhu take the initiative to get close to him, so he readily agreed, and ordered Liang Jiugong to bring the collection of characters, and looked at the words next to the Japanese characters: "Your heirs are weak, you still need to have many sons and grandchildren." Okay... let’s call him Hongwang.”

Yinhu bowed and said: "My son, I thank Huang Ama."

Kangxi looked at himself, the eighth son who had been far away from him, and felt a little pity for him, and said: "Next spring, I will have a draft, and I will ask Concubine Hui to choose a good one for you."

Yinhu was rather embarrassed: "Huang Ama, Hongwang's biological mother just left, and my son wants to wait a while." He was afraid that Kangxi would mess up the mandarin ducks, so he added: "Hongwang is still young, and my son... wants to talk about it later." Waiting for him to be a little older before asking for the grace of Huang Ama. And... I don't want to ask for Fujin's marriage either."

Kangxi was a little dissatisfied, and seeing that he loved his child, he didn't have any words of reprimand.The two of them faced each other silently, although they were father and son, they didn't have much contact in private, and they didn't have any other topics in common, they chatted a few casual words, and Yinhu left the palace and returned home.

There are still white banners hanging everywhere in the mansion, and the first seven days pass by in the blink of an eye, but there is no festive look in Babeile's mansion.The affairs of the house were temporarily handed over to the housekeeper, and Yaertan's former maid also told them to go and go.In a blink of an eye, the mansion was deserted and even more empty.

However, Yinzhen ran here more frequently, even more frequently than before the two of them had a cold war.He came not only to accompany Yinhu, but also to help prepare for the Empress Dowager's [-]th birthday in early October.

This matter should have started at the beginning of the year, but Yaertan was pregnant at the time and couldn't work hard, so the progress was extremely slow. Now that Yaertan passed away, he simply stopped.Yinhu had no choice but to take over in person, but found that only two-thirds of the purchase was made.

There are only two months left, and the Babeile Mansion has just handled the funeral. Because the Empress Dowager's birthday is approaching, there is no extravagant burial, but the burial is done according to the usual practice, and there is such a sum of money spent.This is the [-]th birthday, and I heard that Kangxi intends to make a big deal, so the people below have to put on a show.In the capital this year, businessmen from all over the country came to Beijing to sell various goods, and Yinzhen took advantage of this opportunity to make another big fortune.

Yinhu thought about it, he couldn't make money in the Ministry of Households like the crown prince, borrow flowers and offer gifts to Buddha, and he didn't have the rich family background of the old nine, and he was different from the other brothers who often received rewards in the palace.We can only be ingenious and work hard on the word "novelty".And Zhuangzi from the suburbs suddenly came to report the news, saying that it was a matter of cowpox, that it had made great progress, and that it was "clinically safe", and the next step was to try it on people.

Yinhu was very happy, and immediately talked to Yinzhen, and thought that it was the Empress Dowager's [-]th birthday. He issued an order to promote it.

The two discussed it and thought that this could be used as a birthday gift, but it would definitely make a big splash and make the prince and elder brother feel dissatisfied.

After Yaertan left, Yinhu saw life and death again, and didn't care about these things anymore.He didn't say anything else, and said directly: "Fourth brother, this is a good deed, why bother with their opinions? What's more, in the current situation, how can we just hide and be fine? We don't have to use this to please the superiors , It’s just four words of playing by ear.”

Yinzhen just wanted to be thoughtful, so he nodded at the moment and said: "That's right, the sooner this matter is implemented, the earlier it will be promoted to the localities. We don't need to do too much, just let Huang Ama see that we are doing practical things Do you know that there is news from the palace recently that the people around the prince have changed again?"

This is the second batch changed this year, Yinhu changed his mind, and knew that the second brother was getting more and more unable to control himself.He thought of Buerhe, and sighed in his heart, conspiracy, love and hatred are everywhere, but he doesn't know that there are countless barren hills, poor bones and nowhere to go, just leaving innocent souls, killing evil sooner.

The two discussed it carefully and decided on the rules.On the third day of October, he put on the prince's formal attire, asked a servant girl and a nanny to take Hongwang with him, took two cars respectively, merged into the mighty stream of carriages entering the palace, and slowly drove into the Forbidden City.

The Forbidden City is decorated with a new look today.Kangxi attaches great importance to filial piety. Although this empress dowager is not the empress dowager, she respects and loves her very much, and her affection is no less than that of the empress dowager Xiaozhuang.This time it was the [-]th birthday again, and it was held with great solemnity.The person who presided over the arrangement was the honorable and used to the crown prince. The word pampered and treated was light on him, and he held the household department in his hand, so he made it more perfect, extravagant and luxurious.

Yinhu walked slowly along the way, saw many good things in the Forbidden City, and had to admit that this time it really cost too much money, but he didn't know how much kickbacks the crown prince took in it, and made several fake accounts .

He went to Yinzhen's table and sat with him, hesitated again, and ordered Feng Jing to ask the nanny to take Hongwang to Sanfujin Dong'e's side, although he didn't know why Yaertan would treat Ulanara There must be a reason for that sudden attitude, and he still doesn't want to take that risk—Hongwang is only two months old, so it's better to be on the safe side.

Seeing him sitting down, Yinzhen took up the wine glass to fill him up very naturally, then tilted his head, and whispered in Yinhu's ear, "Drink less."

Yinhu nodded with a smile, and drank the glass of wine that Yinzhen personally filled. When the other brothers saw him coming, they all came over to toast.

Yinhu refused, but drank a few more glasses.Kangxi and the Empress Dowager came late, and everyone gathered together, except for the prince.

Yinhu, like everyone else, looked towards the women's family banquet, and saw that the crown princess Guerjia, several side Fujin and the prince's children were sitting there, but Guerjia's face was very calm, with only a slight frown between his eyebrows. Unbearable tiredness.Yinhu deliberately took a few more glances, but he didn't find the person he wanted to see.

He turned his head and exchanged a glance with Yin Zhen, both of them knew each other clearly.

Kangxi looked around and saw that the prince's seat was empty, so he ordered his men to find the prince quickly. The empress dowager also noticed the movement here, and because she was not proficient in Chinese, she asked in a low voice in Manchu.

The people below immediately murmured, this is a family feast, but they couldn't see the expressions of Suo'etu and Mingzhu.Yinhu poured himself a drink and poured himself another cup, and caught a glimpse of the excitement on the face of his elder brother Yinxuan. Sitting next to him was Yinzhen.

After waiting for a long time, the prince rushed over alone in a hurry, his robes were messy, obviously he had just put them on.Kangxi's face was gloomy when he saw this, temporarily suppressed his displeasure, and ordered the subordinates to play music and dance.Talking to the Empress Dowager again, she diverted the attention of the old lady.

These banquets in the palace are nothing more than routines, and there are no new tricks, but they are more grand than usual.The Empress Dowager watched happily, and Kangxi gradually talked and laughed, without looking at the prince. The prince had already sat in Kangxi's lower seat, but he began to drink wine one cup after another.

The atmosphere gradually heated up. The empress dowager liked children, so she asked a few younger ones to go up and talk with them, and also wanted to see the grandchildren who had not been seen since they were born this year.As soon as Yinhu felt it, he saw Sanfujin looking over from a distance, his eyes seemed to stop on the third elder brother Yinzhi, and walked up with Hongwang.

The empress dowager had a good memory, and asked with a smile: "When did this little guy grow up? Didn't you hear that Yinzhi's mansion had a baby?"

Mrs. Dong E replied: "Queen Mother, this is Hongwang from the Eighth Uncle's family. He was born only two months ago. You haven't seen him yet."

The Empress Dowager also knew of Yaertan's death, she showed compassion, and said the Buddha's name in a low voice: "Amitabha, it's so pitiful, show it to Aijia."

When Hongwang got into the empress dowager's arms, he didn't cry or make a fuss, but just blinked and rolled his eyes around, looking around.Although Yinhu can't always take care of her like a mother, she often needs her servants to take care of her.Hongwang was raised white and fat, and he was not afraid of life. When he saw the Empress Dowager looking at him, he shouted "Yeah" for some reason, and reached out to touch her cheek.

Dong Eshi, who was watching from the side, smiled and said: "Queen Mother, you see, he likes you."

The empress dowager liked it more and more, and did not avoid it, letting Hongwang's chubby short fingers touch her cheek, the little man's eyes widened in surprise, although he couldn't see clearly, he also felt that someone was approaching Looking at himself, he was always happy and free of worries, extremely happy, and he grinned and "giggled" in the empress dowager's arms.

Yinhu was relieved when he saw this, and was about to drink another glass when the third elder brother Yinzhi who was sitting across from him raised his glass and toasted him from a distance. , and drank a cup.

The banquet became more festive and lively, Kangxi stood up, walked down the stage to face the Empress Dowager, bowed with a smile and said, "Emperor Mother, my son brings you a congratulatory gift."

The empress dowager returned Hongwang to Dong E's arms, and asked in amazement, "Emperor, what gift do you want to give to Ai's family?"

In the middle of Kangxi, he took off his large outer robe, and it turned out to be a set of colorful dance clothes inside.He smiled again and said: "Mother Huang, let's see how my son dances!"

The music suddenly started, it was the boa-style dance that Manchu people are familiar with.The empress dowager couldn't help but also stepped down from the high stage, and Kangxi immediately "raised one sleeve to his forehead, and turned the other to his back, circling around." Danced against the empress dowager.The elder brothers around looked excited, and they didn't know who started it first, clapping their hands and singing to accompany them.

Looking at this kind of celebration scene, the depression in Yinhu's heart seems to have dissipated a lot. He also stood up with the crowd, bent slightly, deliberately doing a modern man's dance invitation etiquette, and directed at the people beside him. Yinzhen said: "Fourth brother, shall we try it too?"

Yinzhen was leaning on his body, half leaning on the table, the wine glass in his hand was still full of wine, looking very happy.As soon as Yinhu made this movement, he discovered the problem, and looked at Yinhu with a half-smile in his eyes.

Seeing that he didn't move for a long time and didn't speak, Yinhu also sensed the truth, retracted his hand embarrassingly, and touched his nose: "Fourth brother, you also know this."

"I've seen the books left by Nan Huairen." Yinzhen dropped a sentence, then put down the wine glass in his hand, stood up, grabbed his arm, and walked to the side.But instead of joining the crowd to dance together, he led him quietly across the edge, avoiding the happy crowd, and headed towards the secluded garden next to him.

The grass and trees were deep, and it was already October weather. The ground was covered with withered yellow grass blades, which creaked when stepped on.Yinhu recognized the dark forest path under his feet, and was about to ask, but Yinzhen stopped, turned around and took him into his arms, and kissed him suddenly.

"Four..." Yinhu's words could not be uttered, but Yinzhen sealed them with a kiss and swallowed them down his throat.He couldn't help but respond back, and with a more active attitude, he actively stuck his tongue into his mouth, stirring up tender yet strong affection.

Both of them were a little drunk, unable to control their emotions, Yinzhen leaned against a big tree, Yinhu panted slightly, and leaned on Yinzhen with a little force, his eyes were extraordinarily bright, and he said with a teasing tone: "What's the matter, four elder brother?"

Yinzhen's voice was a little hoarse, he pushed his back on purpose, and rubbed against Yinhu's body: "What do you think?"

Yinhu, who is also a man, naturally knows what's wrong with Yinzhen. The two bodies are tightly fitted together, and the scorching temperature between the legs seems to have been transmitted to him through his clothes, and he was infected almost immediately. , Yinhu's mouth was dry, and instinctively moved closer to him, and called out in a low voice: "Fourth brother..."
