Father and Son Forbidden to Return the Pearl

In the 20th year of Kangxi, the eighth son of the emperor, Aixinjueluo Yinhu, was born.However, the birth of this prince did not bring him joy, but anger and embarrassment.Because the child was discovered a month after birth, and because the child's mother was born in Xinzheku.

The birth of the eighth elder brother was an indelible stain on the young and energetic Emperor Kangxi who was extremely concerned about face.So, after knowing the existence of this child, he hastily gave him a name, and put this little baby who was only over a month old under the name of Concubine Hui.As for the child's biological mother, Kangxi randomly named a good nobleman, and stuffed her into the harem where the beauty and splendor were all the rage.

Concubine Hui looked at the beautiful baby lying in the swaddle, her face was full of disgust, she waved coldly for the nanny to take him down.

Although it would not be too harsh on Yinhu's food and clothing expenses, but the palace people who always underestimated and praised the high ones saw that the emperor and concubine Hui didn't like this eighth elder brother, so their attitude towards him gradually became lax.

Yinhu is talented and intelligent, and he is sensible after one year old.From the mouths of gossiping palace people, he knew that his biological mother was not the concubine Hui who treated him indifferently, but a noble person he had never seen before.

I don't know how many times, this little child was standing alone by the nanny, looking at his tall and handsome Huang Ama, and his titular mother-in-law, elder brother and happy appearance, the little heart , envy will arise.

Yinhu also plucked up the courage to call Huang Ama timidly, hoping that Huang Ama would smile at him as gently as he did his elder brother.However, what he saw in Huang Ama's eyes was only indifference, and even a hint of disgust.

Gradually, Yinhu found out that it was because of his own mother.Huang Ama has many sons. To him, he is a dirty stain and an unexpected existence.

So, this two-year-old child looked at this extremely luxurious palace with cold eyes, and understood the fickleness of the world and the vicissitudes of life.He clearly knew that even though they were both Huang Ama's sons, he would always be a head shorter than the other brothers.

It's not that Yinhu never complained about his mother-in-law. Since he couldn't protect him, why did he have to be born and let people stare at him?

In the imperial palace of the Qing Dynasty, although the mother was more expensive than the son, the son was even more precious than the mother.

Yinhu will never forget that day.He remembered that it was his third birthday, but Concubine Hui completely forgot about it, or rather, she never remembered it.That afternoon, taking advantage of the inattention of the palace servants, I sneaked into the Imperial Garden, which I had never been before, and accidentally lost my way.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Yinhu found himself at the edge of a hexagonal pavilion.He saw Huang Ama, the greatest in his mind, talking and laughing happily with two exquisitely dressed boys.

A boy about ten years old was sitting opposite Huang Ama, and in the arms of that boy was a four or five-year-old boy.Yinhu clearly saw the tenderness and pampering in Huang Ama's eyes towards the two boys, which he had never seen with his eldest brother.

"Eighth brother, I have found you, I have found you, go back with me!" At this time, the nanny who took care of Yinhu hurried over, looked at the people in the hexagonal pavilion with some fear, and pulled Yinhu into it. into his arms, and almost ran away from there.

"Nurse, who are those two people talking to Huang Ama?" Yinhu raised his head strangely.He always thought that Huang Ama was good enough for his eldest brother, but he didn't expect that compared with those two children, he was completely out of the same class.

"Oh, my little ancestor! Those two are His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the fourth elder brother. You can't afford to offend them! When you see those two in the future, you must behave yourself and greet them respectfully. Do you hear me? ?”

Yinhu nodded obediently, he knew that although the nanny's words were sometimes not pleasant, she was a person who really cared about him.

Eyes full of envy quietly passed through the nanny's shoulders, and looked in the direction of the hexagonal pavilion.His Royal Highness and the fourth elder brother, of course he knows who they are.One is the legitimate son of the deceased empress, the current crown prince of the Qing Dynasty, and the future emperor; the other is the adopted son of Concubine Tong, the most honorable elder brother besides His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.Moreover, among so many elder brothers, only they have been personally taught by Huang Ama - this is an honor that even the elder brothers have never had!

Compared with them, I am like a cloud and mud.Maybe, they don't even know that there is such a brother as themselves!Thinking of this, Yinhu's eyes darkened.There was an inexplicable sourness in my little heart.

Not long after, Xiao Yinhu sneaked out again.No matter how sensible he is, he is still a child after all!

But this time he didn't go to the imperial garden, but wandered around the harem instead.

Before he knew it, he came to a rather desolate palace. Compared with the luxurious Yanxi Palace where Concubine Hui lived, this palace was like a heaven and an underground.Then, Yinhu saw a woman, a very beautiful woman.

A long time later, when this magnificent Eighth Sage King remembered the first time he met Er Niang, he still couldn't help but feel sad.

That woman is indeed beautiful, dressed in white, with a simple and elegant body, her clear face is as untainted as a hibiscus, and there is no rouge smell on her body, only the innate light fragrance.

It is very strange for such a woman to appear in this dark harem and still live in such a desolate palace.

"Yinhu..."

Yinhu looked strangely at the woman's sad and happy eyes when she looked at him, and heard her tremblingly calling his name.

"Which empress are you?" A childish voice sounded, and Yinhu turned his head slightly, wondering why this empress whom he had never met knew him, and even more puzzled by the inexplicable emotion that suddenly rose in his heart.

Looking at the woman's suddenly pale face and eyes full of pain.Many years later, when Yinhu thinks back, he still feels self-blame and painful for making Er Niang sad unintentionally.Even though, it doesn't seem like it's his fault.

When she was taken away by the nanny she found, Yinhu still didn't know who this beautiful woman who seemed to be beyond the realm of the world was.

A month later, Yinhu learned the identity of the woman from the chats of the palace people. She was the biological mother whom he thought about day and night but had never met...

From then on, Yinhu always secretly went to that desolate palace, looked at the woman quietly for a while, and then left slowly.At that time, the prince who was raised in front of other concubines was not allowed to get close to his own mother in private.Because he was afraid that when the prince grew up, he would get close to his biological mother and stay away from his adoptive mother.

Time passed, and Yinhu's fifth birthday passed in a blink of an eye.Learning from the previous Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty attached great importance to the education of the prince, so even though he was an invisible person in the palace, Yinhu was sent to study in the upper study on time.

On the first day when she entered the study room, Yinhu was very nervous, so she got there early. At that time, it was more than half an hour earlier than the stipulated school time.

Because no one taught him how to read before, Yinhu didn't know the characters in the book, so he could only flip through the book awkwardly, keeping his eyes on the door.

"Slave to the crown prince, please greet the fourth master, the crown prince is auspicious! The fourth master is auspicious!" After an unknown amount of time, the eunuch's flattering voice suddenly sounded at the door, and the name that came out of his mouth made Yinhu even more nervous.

A handsome young man stepped in, dressed in the clothes of a prince, with a natural nobility on his body.That Aixinjueluo family's unique Danfeng's eyes flicker, looking down on the world.With his right hand, he was holding a young boy about seven or eight years old, with a delicate and delicate appearance. Although his nobleness and arrogance were slightly inferior to that of the prince, he was still intimidating.

"Huh?" The fourth elder brother looked towards Yinhu's direction with black crystal-like eyes, and his clear and transparent eyes were full of curiosity.

"Prince, fourth master, this is the eighth elder brother." Seemingly seeing Yinzhen's doubts, the doggy eunuch hurriedly nodded and bowed down to explain.

"Are you the eighth brother?"

This is the first time Yinhu heard Yinzhen speak, his voice is light and soft, and it has a childlike voice, very pleasant to hear.The tone was full of friendliness.

In the decades that followed, Yinhu kept thinking, when exactly did his approachable, innocent and kind-hearted fourth brother turn into that frosty look?

"Yinhu sends His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and Fourth Brother greets you. Your Royal Highness is auspicious, and Fourth Brother is blessed!" Feeling the indifferent gaze cast on him by the Prince, Yinhu stood up tremblingly, even his voice trembling.

The prince is the king, and they are the ministers.Without the permission of the prince, even the elder brother, who is the eldest son, would have to call "His Royal Highness the Prince" instead of "Second Brother".

"You don't need to be too polite." The prince's nice and slightly majestic voice sounded, his tone was full of coldness and indifference, without a trace of the warmth that brothers should have.

After a long time, Yinhu realized that only the prince was special.The other brothers are just strangers who are related by blood.

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness." Yinhu stood up nervously, not even daring to lift his head.

"Yinzhen, how is your homework review yesterday?" The prince treated Yinhu as a transparent person, and led Yinzhen towards his seat, his tone was full of gentleness.

"I've already reviewed it." Lingxiu's lovely child sat on the seat, raised her head, and replied obediently.

The prince patted his head, with a gentle smile in his eyes.

Yinhu quietly looked at the warmth and tacit understanding between the two, with mixed feelings in his heart.Somehow, from the first time he saw the prince, he didn't like him, and even less liked the warm atmosphere between him and Yinzhen.

Soon, all elder brothers arrived.It's just that they looked at Yinhu with disdain and indifference in their eyes, and no one showed him a friendly smile like Yinzhen did.

This day was Yinhu's first day in the study.

Unbeknownst to everyone, the gears of fate began to rotate slowly...
