Breeze

Yinqi suddenly felt aggrieved and anxious, reached out to pull Yongzheng's sleeve, but he dodged it.Yongzheng turned slightly sideways, turned around and said, "What are you doing!"

The way he frowned was really the indifference of rejecting others thousands of miles away.Yin Qi stared at it for a moment, and his hands froze there.

Then he saw Prince Zhuang coming in, Yongzheng turned around and sat down in front of the kang.

Prince Zhuang bowed to Yongzheng, and when Yongzheng called out, he saw Yinqi and was taken aback.

Yongzheng said: "Don't worry about him! You just talk back to me."

Yinqi's heart suddenly felt sad, he only lowered his head, and couldn't hear what Prince Zhuang said, and what Yongzheng approved.After a long time, Xing Nian pulled his sleeves, Yin Qi raised his head, Yongzheng glared at him, Yin Qi's heart sank.

Sure enough, Yongzheng said angrily: "You really don't know what the rules are today! Come on, I can't teach you a lesson anyway, you go to Fengxian Hall! Go and kneel in front of the Xiandi!"

Yin Qi suddenly opened his eyes wide, filled with disbelief.

Didn't it mean...my fourth brother...would protect me?

Yongzheng and Yinqi looked at each other, and the anger in their eyes gradually disappeared.But he turned his head away again, not looking at Yinqi.

Prince Zhuang hesitated to speak, but in the end he just sighed silently.

~~~~~~~

Entering the Fengxian Hall, a scent of sandalwood came out head-on, even though there was warmth in the fragrance, there was also a sense of desolation mixed with the half-cold lukewarm temperature.

Yinqi walked in and looked around. It was the time of daily sacrificial offerings. A few eunuchs bowed their waists and offered incense oil candles in front of the tablet, and some of them fell from the incense when they were cleaning the early morning. Incense ash.

Among them stood a man with gray hair, even though he hadn't seen him for several years, Yin Qi could still recognize that it was Li Dequan.

Xing Nian sent Yinqi to the gate of the hall, but he himself just stood outside the threshold and did not come in.Yin Qi looked back at him, Xing Nian smiled slightly, and said softly: "Master 23, the emperor may not really be annoyed with you, but what Master 23 said today really hurt the emperor's heart, 23 Grandpa is also quiet and quiet here."

As soon as he opened his mouth, all the eunuchs in the palace looked up, and Li Dequan also raised his dim eyes to look at Xing Nian.Naturally, Xing Nian also saw him, and the two eyes met for a moment, and then they turned their eyes away.Li Dequan was still concentrating on carefully wiping the candlestick in front of Kangxi's tablet with a rag.

Xing Nian smiled again, and said to Yin Qi: "Master 23 has always been a smart person, and he should know what to do this time. On the emperor's side, maybe he will ask his slaves to wait on him for a while, so he won't wait for Master 23." gone."

After saying that, he bowed and turned around to leave.

Yin Qi looked at his back, startled for a moment, and suddenly felt a little funny.

In this Xingnian, do you really think that Yongzheng and Kangxi are the same?Do you think that Yinqi will restore Yongzheng's favor just like he restored Kangxi's loving father back then?

Now and then, it is completely different...

At that time, it was Yinqi himself who was wrong. He couldn't give Kangxi enough trust, but he was too demanding. He was willing to use that way to make up for and atone for his sins.This is as a son, I feel right from the bottom of my heart.

What is the situation now?It was Yong who was doubting him, questioning him!

Yongzheng said to let Yinqi trust him, but he himself questioned Yinqi like this.At such a time, Yin Qi really didn't know what to do.

Or, do nothing.

Yinqi turned around, walked into the hall, and walked up to the spiritual tablets of the emperors of all dynasties on display.There was a futon on the ground, so Yinqi walked to the futon facing Kangxi's tablet, raised his clothes and knelt down, looking up at the words on the tablet.

That was Kangxi's temple name, and a string of words that Yinqi was not familiar with constituted the evaluation and praise of Kangxi's achievements in his life.I still remember that when Yongzheng personally delineated such a highly praised temple name, Yinqi also thought in his heart that Yongzheng really admired and respected such a royal father as Kangxi from the bottom of his heart.

Holy Patriarch.The word "holy" has never been seen before, and there will be no one to come after.

However, it has only been more than three years now, and the original admiration and reverence have all disappeared, right?

Today's Yongzheng, because of Yinqi's memory of Kangxi, was angry, disappointed, and even forgot his promise to Yinqi.Could it be said that after becoming an emperor, people will change so much?Even the people who originally admired him will gradually look down on him, and they will praise themselves higher and higher?

Yongzheng, will it be the same?

Then I suddenly remembered that I cried once in Yongzheng's arms. At that time, Yongzheng also said that Yinqi should not be afraid of him.

How can he not be afraid of him like this?

Yin Qi laughed a little, this is also because he is crazy.Originally, half of the emperor's words should be believed, and the other half should be kept in the heart, and when it is time to forget, forget it immediately.

Jinkouyuyan is only someone who has never seen the power of Tianwei. After spending more than ten years with the emperors of Kangxi and Yongzheng, Yinqi has long understood that the emperor is the most forgetful person...

Thinking to himself, waiting for Yinqi to come back to his senses, but at some point, all the eunuchs sweeping and offering sacrifices in the hall have left completely, leaving only one person standing aside, looking at Yinqi.

Yinqi smiled slightly and said: "Li Wenda, I haven't seen you for a long time. Every time I have been to Fengxian Hall these years, I have never seen you. It is a coincidence that you are here on duty today."

Li Dequan bowed and said: "It's been three years. The 23rd Lord has grown up now. If the late emperor saw it, he must be very happy. A while ago, I heard that the 23rd Lord has already mentioned marriage. This is really a happy event. The late emperor... ..."

As he spoke, he was a little choked up, sighed, and pretended to be happy, and said: "I haven't congratulated Master 23 yet."

Yinqi closed his eyes, and smiled again when he opened them, and said, "Yes, if Huang Ama Quan knew about it, he would be very pleased. His youngest son is about to marry and grow up. His old man There is no need to worry about it any more.”

Li Dequan sighed: "Isn't it...don't worry about it anymore...isn't it..."

Raising his hand to wipe away the tears that flowed unconsciously from the corner of his eyes, Li Dequan also lowered his body, knelt down next to Yin Qi, and said: "Your servant has overstepped the limit today, and I will also follow the 23rd Lord to worship the late emperor. This servant is a lowly person." People, I am afraid that the first emperor will not be happy to enjoy the offerings of slaves, so let's use the watch of the 23rd Lord to express his heart."

Yin Qi just smiled and watched him kowtow on the ground.When Li Dequan finally straightened up, he asked: "Li Wenda seems to have been in poor health for the past few years, why do you still do these odd jobs yourself? You are the most pure and loyal Huang Ama, you have your heart, Your Majesty Ama naturally understands, and won't blame you for anything."

Li Dequan sighed with a smile: "Master 23, the slaves have indeed been lazy a lot in the past few years. It's because of the dizzy eyes and shaking hands in the past two years. They are afraid of delaying something, but they are disrespectful. It's just...not today. identical."

He looked up at Kangxi's memorial tablet, seemed to be talking to himself, and seemed to be talking to Yin Qi, only to hear him say: "Yesterday it was the ninth master who was unlucky, and today it will be the turn of the eighth master. New Year's Eve Yes, this is the mercy of the emperor, let them live this New Year's Eve well. It's just that they are the sons of the late emperor after all..."

Yin Qi closed his eyes and didn't answer, Li Dequan sighed a few times, and continued: "Even Master 23 has come here, is this also the emperor's punishment? He was originally the closest brother..."

Hearing Li Dequan rambling in his ears, Yin Qi suddenly understood something in his heart.

This is Li Dequan, making a side note, let him declare Kangxi's will to Yongzheng, right?

But he really didn't know that it was because of the will that Yin Qi was in such a state.

Yinqi's heart gradually became colder and colder, and for a while he was a little envious of Kangxi.

If there is a person who can be like Li Dequan to Kangxi, only Kangxi is in his mind, and he can't see other people at all.Such general loyalty, accompanied by one's whole life, is really...

But there was a faint voice in my heart saying, that's not enough, that's not enough...

What he wants is not just this.

I also want a strong and firm guardian, a support who can always stand behind me, and meticulous care and protection...

Yin Qi was startled, frightened by his own thoughts.Then he laughed again, did he really become such a fragile heart after being cautious for more than ten years?

I have been struggling with this kind of life for so many years, even if I continue to live like this for decades, what can I not do?

Was it just because of that sentence that he made himself weak again?

Think about it, a while ago, I was really slack...

Yin Qi raised his head, his eyes became firm again.

~~~~~~~

At the beginning of the new year, when Yin Qi came back from Fengxian Hall, he was seriously ill.A lingering illness for more than ten days, as if all the spiritual energy has been exhausted, even after recovering from the illness, I always feel lazy and unable to lift up my energy.

Sometimes I always think of the words Yongzheng said that day, his angry eyebrows, and his indifference.Although Yin Qi made up his mind to forget some words that should have been forgotten long ago, it always took a while to buffer.

After the new year, it is not immediately a spring scene. In winter, it is cold, people are wrapped up thickly, and they look bulky, and they are really lazy to move.After a while, Yinqi asked someone to go to the House of Internal Affairs to inquire. If there was nothing important, he simply didn't go to the Yamen.Leaning on the pillow and staring at the book in his hand, he heard Zhang Zhenchun say at the door: "Master, the fourth elder brother is here."

Looking up and seeing Hongli walking in, Yin Qi moved his body, sat up a little bit straighter, lifted his chin towards Hongli, and said, "Why are you here at this time?"

Hongli looked a little dazed and worried. He sat down on the chair beside Yinqi Kang and asked, "Why didn't Uncle 23 go to the courtyard of the House of Internal Affairs this afternoon? My nephew went there first. No one was found."

Yin Qi closed his eyes slightly, and said, "I'm so exhausted, I don't see anything wrong, so I won't go. Do you have something to do?"

Hongli sighed, didn't answer him, but said: "Maybe I guessed randomly, Uncle 23 seems to be less energetic these days, maybe it's because of the emperor's reprimand?"

When Yin Qi heard this, his body froze, and he moved his legs and feet, pretending not to hear.

Hongli saw it in his eyes, and then sighed: "Uncle 23, my nephew also knows that I am afraid that you are still a little uncomfortable with the emperor's reprimand this time. Or you also feel that you have lost face and don't want to see An outsider? It's just... Uncle 23, the more you behave like this, the more difficult it will be for the emperor to forgive you. Even if you feel uncomfortable now, you should just do something, otherwise..."

Yinqi let out a sigh of relief, waved his hand at him, and said, "Why don't I know this? It's just that my body is sore and weak. I'm afraid that the illness of the past few days has passed. It's also difficult to cheer up. You don't have to worry about it for me , Am I the kind of person who doesn't know the general idea? The emperor never warned me, I'm not that delicate yet."

On that day, the imperial decree of Yongzheng was issued, and Prince Lian and others were not expelled from the clan as they had been in history.It's just that he was dismissed from his post and ordered to go home for self-examination, that is, he was banned for half a circle.On the contrary, Wu Erzhan, Sunu and others from Prince An's family were taken off their yellow belts and sent to Heilongjiang.

Since it has changed from here, the ending will probably be better in the future.And now Yinqi really feels that he is benevolent and righteous.If these elder brothers still seek their own death like they did when Yongzheng first came to the throne, Yinqi would ignore them again.

And since Yongzheng was really lenient, Yinqi didn't have any complaints towards him.

This is already a big face.

However, Hongli was still a little skeptical, and said a few more words, nothing more than to persuade Yinqi not to complain about Yongzheng's heart, and to do things well to regain the king's heart.The words were full of sincerity, Yinqi also felt his affection in his heart, and only smiled and listened.

Unexpectedly, the impression was not good when we first met, but now Hongli can actually care about him so sincerely.The affection for so many years is really not fake.

It's just that I'm afraid that he will become Qianlong in the future, and everything today will disappear.

Thinking of Hong Zhou because of this, Yin Qi's heart was in a mess again.

In the current situation, Hong Zhou has won the favor of Yongzheng, and he is also working hard to cultivate it.When he becomes emperor in the future, the affection that can be seen in his eyes all the time is about...

It's okay if there is no more.

Yin Qi sighed, it shouldn't have been there in the first place, it would be better if it didn't exist.

After thinking about it for a while, he patted Hongli's hand on his knee again, and Yin Qi smiled and said, "Come on, I asked you to teach me so many words today, but you haven't said anything yet, what are you here for? It can't be that there is nothing wrong, but you came to look for me?"

Hongli looked at Yinqi and remained silent for a while, only an inexplicable meaning appeared in his eyes.Yin Qi looked at it, and suddenly became a little clear, but he was not sure.

It can't be... Hongli is also like Hongzhou...

It can be done anywhere, and not everyone is like Hong Zhou, who dares to have such thoughts.

Hongli's voice sounded in his ear, and Yinqi suddenly came back to his senses, only to hear him say: "It turned out that the emperor called me to talk about it today, and asked Uncle 23 to choose a good day."
