The one who returns the pearl

After Hongli arrived at Kunning Palace for a few days, he realized that the big and small affairs in this palace were not in the hands of Concubine Shu and Concubine Qing, nor were they in the hands of the second uncle, but in the hands of Huang Ama and the eighth uncle.After a few more days, he found out even more that the Ministry of Internal Affairs is now in the hands of these two people.After Hongli was surprised, his heart slowly calmed down.That's right, with Huang Ama and Eighth Uncle here, he is very lucky now that the affairs of the palace are in other people's hands: fortunately, he stopped the actions of Huang Erniang, otherwise, they would have been banned by Huang Ma sooner. And Huang Ama cleaned up!Then, the queen mother came to Kunning Palace every day, crying to see Yinzhen.

At the beginning, Yinzhen felt that he should meet the queen mother, and he still had to tell her some things: for example, she had to be a good queen mother, and cooperate with Huang Ama to play a good role in the mother's kindness and filial piety; The women in the harem should not let them make troubles about messy things, they must beat what should be beaten; for another example, the Yuanmingyuan is also well built now, if you have nothing to do, go there to raise your elderly, relax, and don't just go to the Kunning Palace to make trouble .

When Yinzhen met the queen mother, he told the queen mother all these things. The queen mother knelt on the ground and nodded in response.Yinzhen thought, what should be said has been said, so let her kneel down.But the queen mother knelt on the ground, pulled his clothes, and cried: "Your majesty, since you left, I have really missed you. Now that you are back, let me serve you well. I will never let you go." The emperor is wronged!"

Yinzhen felt that these words were awkward no matter how they heard them, it was very unpleasant.

Hongli also thought it was a bit funny what his mother-in-law said. Hongli lowered his eyes, looked at the gray hair of the empress dowager, and glanced at his Huang Ama's small body... Hongli closed his eyes: Huang'er Mother, no matter how much you serve her, Huang Ama can't bear it!No matter how much you serve her, Huang Amana will feel very wronged! !Hongli was respectful on the face, not daring to show any disrespect, but a smile gradually appeared between his brows.But the queen mother said she was addicted...

"During the days when the emperor left, the concubines could dream of the emperor every night..."

Now Yinzhen really hopes that Yinhu can be in front of him, even if Yinhu stabs him with a few words, it is better than listening to the Queen Mother's confession here.At least, when Yinhu was around, the queen mother would never say these things.Yinzhen looked out of the window, and saw Yinhu quietly practicing calligraphy in the corridor of the back hall. Looking at his seemingly calm appearance, Yinzhen saw that his mouth was tightly pursed, and his cheeks with baby fat were slightly bulging With that, Yinzhen knew that this person must be slandering him there!As Yinzhen thought about it, he couldn't help but laugh: If you have anything to say, tell me directly, the fourth brother won't be really angry with you, and he can save the fourth brother from suffering.Yinzhen feels that what Yinhu is doing now is watching the fire from the other side, and is extremely disrespectful to his brothers!

Yinzhen gradually felt a little lost, why didn't the eighth brother come to rescue the fourth brother from the sea of ​​suffering?The empress dowager's cries were still in Yinzhen's ears, and Yinzhen interrupted the empress dowager's confession, "Okay, I understand what you said, and I will ask Hongli to take you back."

The queen mother hurriedly got up, wiped away her tears, and blessed her body, "The concubine will not disturb the Lord, and the concubine will leave."

Yinzhen looked out the window, but didn't hear the Queen Mother's words at all.

In the past few days, Hongli often saw Yinzhen fascinated by Yinhu, knowing that he was going to gossip with Yinhu again.I scolded secretly in my heart: I am really slow!Then he looked at his queen mother, and felt that his queen mother was really miserable. After finally seeing Huang Ama, Huang Ama turned into her grandson. He wanted to come here to meet more and talk more, but he was disgusted!Hongli sighed, and gently persuaded the Queen Mother to return to the Palace of Compassion. "Mother Huang, you are also tired now, go back and rest first, Huang Ama still has some political affairs to discuss with Eighth Uncle."

The queen mother hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, political affairs are important, political affairs are important." Supported by Hongli, she left Kunning Palace.

The Empress Dowager left Kunning Palace with a very aggrieved face, "Hongli, did your emperor really annoy me... I pleaded guilty, but the emperor didn't listen..."

Hongli laughed and said, "Ms. Huang'er is overwhelmed, Huang Ama really has business to do!" Huang Ama wanted to chat with her eighth uncle and vomit bitterness, so naturally she would not care about you!

The queen mother still had a miserable face, trembling like a frightened quail, "Hongli, the queen mother is so scared, do you think the holy ancestor and the second uncle are angry with the queen mother? Seeing the Queen's Lady, she didn't even look good. The Queen's Lady is so scared!"

Hongli looked up at the sky, "Mother Huang'er, Huang Mafa is in a bad mood, it has nothing to do with you, you are overthinking..." How could Huang Mafa take you seriously.Hongli thought about seeing Huang Mafa get along with his second uncle, Huang Ama, and eighth uncle occasionally in the past few days. Huang Mafa really only saw the second uncle, Huang Ama, and eighth uncle in his eyes, and they were passers-by. Not even the background!Huang Mafa even looked stingy!No wonder the uncles said that Huang Mafa was biased at the beginning, but he didn't believe it at the beginning. Aren't they all sons? Now he has finally seen where Huang Mafa's mind can be biased!He is very fortunate now. When he remembered, the second uncle had already fallen. Otherwise, it would not be his turn to sit on the throne!

The Empress Dowager asked: "Hongli, you said that the Holy Patriarch killed Concubine Ling with a cane, so it won't be my turn next, right?"

Hongli continued to look up at the sky, "Emperor Niang thinks too much, if the imperial concubine flatters you and disrespects the edict, Huang Mafa can't keep her, it has nothing to do with Huang Erniang." Hongli said , Thinking of the situation in the palace, he said: "Emperor Niang, as long as you follow the rules in the future, Huang Mafa and Huang Ama will not touch you!" Hongli held the Queen Mother's hand, "Huang Er Niang, you Don't get confused. The emperor's methods are ruthless..." Hongli looked at the empress dowager in a daze, and said again: "Emperor mother, you should have noticed that the palace has been quiet recently, and no one is in the garden with the emperor. I met you by chance, everyone is very active, and they all know how to protect themselves. Empress, there are dark tides in this palace, you must be careful!"

Thinking about the situation in the palace, the Empress Dowager was indeed more repressive and dangerous than during the Yongzheng period. All those who behaved unruly and took the lead were immediately suppressed.The Empress Dowager looked at Hongli and said: "Emperor Niang understands." These concubines have a long-term mind, know how to make a decision before making a move, and understand the principle that a trick works!The Empress Dowager was terrified, and the means of survival that she had cultivated in the palace for many years had taken root again. The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "Hongli, the Queen Mother is going back first, so be careful!"

Seeing that the Empress Dowager had confidence in her heart, Hongli was also relieved, and said with a smile: "Send the Empress Dowager respectfully!"

Hongli watched the Empress Dowager's Luanjia leave before returning to Kunning Palace.

Yinzhen leaned on the window sill, resting his chin in one hand, watching Yinhu practicing calligraphy contentedly, his eyes were so tender that water dripped out.Yinzhen thought that he should tell Yinhu his feelings just now, so that he would not be so unkind in the future and let him face the queen mother alone!Yinzhen went out of the room, walked two steps there, and felt that Yinhu was full of resentment, and when Yinzhen looked again, he found that Yinhu's eyebrows were slightly frowned, and there was anger in his eyes. Yinzhen was a little puzzled, who is it? Angry him?They are the only ones in this Kunning Palace, Hongli will not provoke Lao Ba, and Lan Xin is rarely in Kunning Palace recently, and he will not be angry with his servants, so why is he angry?Yinzhen's heart went up and down: in the past, if the queen mother didn't come, he would be invited back by the eighth brother's people, but today... the eighth brother won't be really angry about this!Yinzhen was really scared!As for what to be afraid of, Yinzhen didn't think about it.

"Eighth brother haven't finished practicing the characters yet?" Yinzhen stood in front of Yinhu for a while, seeing that Yinhu ignored him, he had to speak first.

Yinhu's expression remained unchanged, and he continued to write, "My brother's handwriting is not good, so naturally he has to practice hard!"

When Yinzhen heard the tone, he thought: It's bad, the eighth brother is really angry! "Just now the Queen Mother came to plead guilty, no..."

"What will the mother do later? It's the fourth brother's housework. My brother can't take care of it!" Yinhu was still calm, speaking in a very aggressive tone.

Yinzhen was stabbed by Yinhu, and felt uncomfortable, saying: "Eighth brother, what did fourth brother do wrong, you can tell it, and it's fine for fourth brother to change it. Why hide it like this, you feel uncomfortable. The fourth brother also has a knot in his heart."

Yinhu dropped his pen when he heard the words, and said, "Why is there something wrong with the fourth brother of the emperor! I feel uncomfortable, and it is my own business, and has nothing to do with the emperor!" After Yinhu finished speaking, he left angrily. .

Just as Yinzhen was about to catch up, Hongli came back after seeing off the queen mother, "Huang Ama, the queen's mother has gone back!" Hongli looked at Yinhu who was walking away, and sighed. The eighth uncle is really pitiful. Emperor Ama is a stupid goose!Ancestors and ancestors, it's not that Hongli is unfilial, it's not that he dares to criticize Huang Ama, but Huang Ama is so dumb!Hongli wiped his sweat in his heart: I didn't dare to think about it at the beginning, but Huang Ama looked at the eighth uncle from time to time in a daze, and sometimes blushed for a long time because of the eighth uncle's eyes, and smirked for a long time because of the eighth uncle's reproachful words , even if the eighth uncle taunted him because of the Queen's Mother, he didn't care, and even enjoyed it!Eighth Uncle is the same, he usually looks very kind, but he is very angry with the Empress, like a jealous woman... All kinds of behaviors, I can't help but think otherwise!Coupled with the matter of Huang Mafa and the second uncle, Hongli really wanted to look up to the sky and sigh: he said that I was out of tune!Hmph, I didn't get along and didn't get along with my own son-in-law! (Hongli, you dare to slander your elders in front of your ancestors, do you think your ancestors can't hear you?!)

Yinzhen really wanted to catch up with Yinhu, and wanted to ask him what he meant by saying this, and why he suddenly became angry!Yinzhen's heart was up and down, and he felt wronged again, hum, these few days, he stabs me every day, and I'm not angry yet, why is he so angry!Yinzhen couldn't lose his composure in front of Hongli, and endured the grievances in his stomach, he walked to Yinhu's copybook and looked at the ghostly symbols on it. Most of them were painted over. After Yinzhen recognized it for a long time, he saw an unpainted word "丹" in the corner. Yinzhen was a little puzzled: the only thing with this word is "乱子", old man [-] What to write this for.Who is this "playboy" referring to?

Hongli's mind was active, otherwise he would not have won the favor of the emperors Kangxi and Yinzhen.He saw Yinzhen looking at this, and coupled with his observations of Yinzhen and Yinhu these days, he naturally guessed what Yinzhen was thinking.Leaning over, he said: "Huang Ama, looking at Bashu's appearance, I seem to have a sweetheart, and I am worried about how to speak..." Huang Ama is shrewd in politics, but really too slow in emotions, Eighth Uncle is so obvious, he hasn't noticed yet.This is not a big deal, he has been so worried about his eighth uncle, and he hasn't found out what he wants!Hongli admires Yinzhen's slowness in his heart!

Yinzhen was not happy to hear his words, "Is this something you worry about?"

Hongli was glanced coldly by Yinzhen, and retreated to the side embarrassingly.Don't talk if you don't want to talk about it, hmph, when the time comes, Uncle Eight will run away with someone, it depends who you talk to!

Yinzhen looked at Yinhu's copybook: Could it be that Lao Ba really has a sweetheart, but who could his sweetheart be?He only sees so many people every day, who can he fall in love with!It's impossible for people in the palace, Lao Ba looks peaceful, but there are not many people who can catch his eyes, and it's impossible for ordinary women.Could it be my own brother... It is impossible for the eldest brother and the third brother, Shi 34 is also out, and the rest are Yinzhen and Yin'e, but Yin'e is only four years old... I guess it can't be him, then only Yin'e It's gone.Yinzhen is usually romantic, but he also deserves the words "dandy".In addition, the relationship between the two of them is good. In the previous life, the two were almost inseparable. It is normal for them to like each other in this life.Then, the eighth brother really likes the ninth brother.This realization made Yinzhen furious, and then he became confused, "Hongli, tell me, who is your eighth uncle's sweetheart?"

Hongli rolled his eyes indecently, knowing that you would ask this!This time, we must sit on the ground and raise the price to seek some benefits for ourselves! "Huang Ama, the scope of my son's activities is limited, and I don't know much about the people that my eighth uncle has contacted. I'm afraid I won't be able to guess correctly, so I don't dare to make wild guesses. Please forgive me, Huang Ama."

When Yinzhen's heart is attached to Yinhu, he can accurately grasp Hongli's implication, and looks at Hongli coldly, "Tell me first..." Yinzhen picked up the teacup: This answer is worth Hongli's risky negotiation with me?Although he questioned this, he really wanted to know the answer.

Hongli knew the matter was over when he heard the words, if he could help Huang Ama embrace the beauty, wouldn't he be able to pay off the crime.If he is released from Huang Ama's place, he will be able to live a good life then!Hongli said with a smile: "Huang Ama, I ask you, why do you care so much about Uncle Ba?"

Yinzhen looked impatient.This kind of question should also be asked, since the eighth brother is his younger brother, he naturally has to care about it!No matter what time it is, this Hongli is still playing tricks here.Yinzhen was very anxious, he was eager to know the answer, and then he could come up with a countermeasure!

Hongli hurriedly said: "It's okay for Huang Ama not to answer. My son will ask you again, have you ever looked at Ba Shu in a daze? You will be happy because of Ba Shu's eyes, because he is happy when he says a word, because He is happy when he smiles? When he is happy you are happy, when he is lost you are sad, when he is upset, you feel restless? When you don’t see him, you feel empty in your heart. When you see him, you desperately want to get close to him. The closer the better... ..."

Yinzhen followed Hongli's words and thought about his state of mind during this time. Of course he knew all this. At one time, he thought he was sick and thought about not seeing Yinhu, but, as Hongli said, his heart was empty. A piece of it is very hard to bear!Yinzhen looked at Hongli with confusion in his eyes, "How do you know this!"

Seeing Yinzhen's appearance, Hongli almost laughed out loud. He said it so bluntly, how could Huang Ama still not understand!Hongli said: "Huang Ama, if you like someone, your eyes will follow him, and you will pay attention to his words and deeds everywhere; if you have him in your heart, you will worry about him and toss and turn because he understands him too well. Huang Ama , 'Guanguan Jujiu, in the river continent', Huang Ama, 'toss and turn' only when you can't ask for it, you understand!"

'So, I like him! 'Yinzhen felt that the eyes suddenly became clear, and the hot feeling filled his heart again, as if his soul was about to fly: So it feels so good to like someone! "Hehehe..."

Hongli couldn't help rolling his eyes again, he really didn't want to admit that the silly smile in front of him was his cold-hearted Huang Ama.If someone told him a few days in the morning that his Huang Ama looked like this, he would definitely kill him!But now, he can only admit it!After all, Hongli couldn't bear his Huang Ama to destroy his image so much, coughed and said: "Huang Ama, the sweetheart of the eighth uncle..." Hongli stopped on purpose at this point, seeing that Yinzhen finally stopped smirking, His face also became serious, and then he said: "This person, I'm just guessing..."

Yinzhen still thinks that person is Yinzhen, but at this time he has more plans, if Lao Ba really likes Yinzhen, then he will also snatch Lao Ba over!He is confident, Yinzhen is definitely not his opponent!

When Hongli saw Yinzhen's eyes flashing a ruthless fighting spirit, he knew that this dull Huang Ama was thinking wrongly. He originally wanted to say, "The eighth uncle's favorite person is far away in the sky, but close in front of me." But after thinking about it, What if Huang Ama misunderstood me, what should I do!So he said straightforwardly: "Huang Ama, according to my son's observation, the eighth uncle may also like you..."

Yinzhen was taken aback for a moment, and then said joyfully, "This is true." Yinzhen looked at Hongli and nodded, feeling a burst of ecstasy in his heart, and he felt that this kind of joy could only be relieved by shouting loudly.Yinzhen stood up and walked happily, "This is really great!" After walking around twice, remembering that Yinhu left angrily just now, he collapsed again, "Hongli, tell me, your eighth uncle is angry. What?"

Hongli couldn't help rolling his eyes again, and said, "Eight Uncle will be angry when Huang Ama meets Huang Erniang..." Seeing that Yinzhen was still puzzled, Hongli was already exhausted, and asked, "Huang Ama, What do you think if Uncle Ba meets Sister-in-law Ba at this time?"

Yinzhen didn't even think about it, and said directly: "Impossible, this person has been crushed by me..." Then he thought about the scene in his mind for a while, and felt a chill in his heart, if such a thing really happened to him , he really beat that woman to ashes again!It's just that if the eighth younger brother really likes her, then... Yinzhen is a little hesitant...

Hongli said: "The eighth uncle's state in the past two days is similar to Huang Ama's current state."

Yinzhen's mood improved a bit, "You mean, the eighth brother is jealous?"

Hongli nodded vigorously.If Huang Ama asks again, he will really hit the wall!

Yinzhen thought for a while and said, "Kneel down, I will call you next time I go out of the palace."

Hongli said: "I thank the emperor Ama for his kindness."

"Yeah." Yinzhen thought for a while, and said again: "Don't let your eighth uncle know about this." He also wanted to enjoy the feeling that Yinhu liked him and was jealous of him!

"Hey." Hongli cursed in his heart, you are not afraid of overplaying!Then don't come looking for me again!

Yinhu left the Kunning Palace angrily, and wandered aimlessly in the palace: Hmph, this fourth brother is really too much, he obviously likes me, and he met the little fourth sister-in-law in front of me.See you, see you, and come to him to show off!He really doesn't pay attention to me!I really thought Grandpa was good-natured!The more Yinhu thought about it in the palace, the more angry he became, so he directly turned out of the palace and went straight to Longyuan Tower.
