Breeze

Good day?Yinqi was stunned, then understood immediately, and fell silent immediately.

After a while, I felt that the silence in the room was suffocating. Yin Qi took a deep breath and said, "That's fine. Now I'm the only one who is still living in the palace. It's also against the rules, it's better to go out as soon as possible."

Hongli immediately said in a hurry: "Uncle 23, the emperor didn't choose a day to marry you just to let you go out of the palace! In fact, it was Prince Nakhalka who was in a hurry, so..."

Yinqi raised his hand to interrupt him, and said with a smile: "I don't understand this? It's just that I am thinking about the branch office. Now I am in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and I should not leave it to me Worry? I'm feeling tired."

Hongli still frowned slightly, but couldn't say anything.Yinqi said: "I know about this, you came to congratulate me? I am also very happy in my heart, thank you."

Sitting up straight, coughing twice, Yin Qi picked up the teacup and said, "You still have an errand, and I won't delay your business, so go ahead."

Hongli got up, walked out two steps, looked back again, sighed, then turned and walked out again.

~~~~~~~

Yinqi watched Hongli go out, closed his eyes, put down his teacup and rubbed the center of his brows.

Who expected the big wedding to come so soon?If Yongzheng didn't mean to drive him out, Yinqi really couldn't believe it.

Lying on the kang again with his eyes closed slightly, he was about to ask Su Yao to pour some new tea, but Yin Qi felt as if there was a person standing in front of him.He opened his eyes and saw that it was Hong Zhou.

When Hongli went out on the front foot, he came on the back foot. This was not the first time that this happened.Because of getting older, Hong Zhou is not like he was when he was a child. He knew that he didn't want Yin Qi and Hong Li to get closer, but how could Yin Qi not understand his thoughts?

Thinking of Hongli's expression today, Yin Qi wanted to say that Hongli didn't have that kind of thought for him, but he couldn't be sure.He couldn't help but smile wryly in his heart, if it wasn't for his nephew, according to his temperament in his previous life, it would be something to be proud of that both handsome young men like him.But it happened to be the two of them, so what should I say?

Yinqi propped himself up, leaned back, pointed to the chair that Hongli sat on just now, and said, "Why don't you sit?"

Hongzhou ignored it, and took a few steps forward, sitting on the edge of Yinqi's kang.

Yinqi moved back again and said, "Why are you here?"

Hong Zhou didn't answer, but stretched out his hand, grabbed Yin Qi's wrist, and with force, Yin Qi was dragged forward by him, and when his eyes dimmed, Hong Zhou had already hugged him in his arms.

The hand was pressed on the back, Yin Qi struggled a few times, then stopped moving, and leaned on Hongzhou's chest.

He has been a little weak in the past few days, and because of Hongli's words today, he has added some mental fatigue. For a while, he actually felt that it is not bad to rely on Hongzhou just like this...

There was no strong resistance, Hong Zhou was also a little surprised, looked down at Yin Qi, and asked in a low voice: "Uncle 23, what happened today?"

Yin Qi couldn't help laughing out loud, and the suffocation in his heart became less.Yin stretched out his hand to push him away, straightened his clothes, and said with a smile: "You are... Is it possible that I beat and kicked you, so you are happy?"

Hong Zhou was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said: "Of course not. It's just that being abnormal is a monster. A few days ago, Uncle 23 was very alienated from his nephew, but today it's... that nephew is unavoidably suspicious."

There was no joy in his expression, presumably he didn't have much fantasy.Yinqi sighed inwardly, since the two of them broke Hong Zhou's mind last year, only the closeness in face is really left.

Although Hongzhou was sincere, he was only on guard.

How could Hong Zhou not be able to see whether he was sincere or false in all these things?Now that it was him who showed his sincerity, Hongzhou was going to be in shock.

After many years of friendship, the two of them grew up together as children, but now it's like this... how can one not feel embarrassed.

Yin Qi sighed, and said: "In the past, I was thinking about it, but it was also because of you... Now that I think about it, it's because of this that I have been born like this, I..."

He looked up at Hongzhou and said, "If you can..."

Before he finished speaking, Hongzhou put a hand on his lips and said, "There's no need to say anything. If I can control myself, I still need to suffer so hard? I don't just want to... But in my heart, apart from you , I really can’t tolerate anyone anymore. At the beginning I figured it out, and I was terrified for a long time. It’s just that the more I try to control it, the harder it is to restrain it. Uncle 23, you have never liked anyone before, you don’t understand...you Don't understand my heart."

Yin Qi was a little melancholy, how could he not understand?

He also liked people. In his previous life, he liked that person so much, it was almost love.

But after all, after more than ten years in the Qing Dynasty, by now, isn't it also forgotten?If Hong Zhou hadn't mentioned it today, I'm afraid Yin Qi would never think of that person again in his life.

Feelings are something that cannot withstand the wear and tear of time.

That's why I was afraid that when Hongzhou's love for him dissipated, the original affection for him would also be gone.

It's just that Hong Zhou didn't understand.In fact, Yinqi really wants to say, you are the one who doesn't understand my heart.

He opened his mouth, but didn't say anything after all, Yin Qi lowered his head to look at the embroidered pattern on the skirt.

Hong Zhou stretched out his arms and hugged his shoulders, not daring to get too close, but not too far away.Yinqi didn't avoid it, so he said again: "If I could not like you, I wouldn't do what I did or say that day. Uncle 23 also knows that that day... I made a plan, and I just worked hard." With Uncle 23 hating me for the rest of his life, he can no longer pretend that he doesn't care."

He sighed softly: "To be honest with Uncle 23, I actually did that. Before and after, I was also at the opposite end of the spectrum, hesitating and unable to make a decision. Thinking that this really offended Uncle 23, it seemed that I was not sincere. It's just for the pleasure of the color of the skin and flesh for a while. I'm afraid that Uncle 23 will be really annoyed, and even a little of the original affection will be compromised."

Yin Qi looked up at him, then lowered his head and said, "Then...how dare you do it?"

Hong Zhou smiled bitterly and said: "If I didn't do that heartlessly, I'm afraid that no matter how much I like it, Uncle 23 will just treat it as my child's play. Not once?

"Seeing Uncle 23 being married by the Emperor, I feel uncomfortable inside... I just want Uncle 23 to know my intentions, and I will sacrifice my face and life to try Uncle 23's affection for me."

Yinqi closed his eyes and sighed: "You are really...you are a fool! What else can I have in mind? You are my nephew! I can... and even I have such thoughts that are contrary to human relations , we will never be able to."

Hong Zhou said in a low voice: "How come I don't know... It's just that I can't let it go, I can't let it go, I can't let it go... I only hope that in case, even if I can't be with you every day, always in one place, it is also... the comfort in my heart .”

He smiled again, with a little melancholy on his face, and said: "Uncle 23 put it so simply, he really made me...don't even leave me with a single thought?"

At this time, Yinqi can't tell what it's like in his heart.Hong Zhou's words, if he answered "yes", he would give up his mind, and he would be clean if he never mentioned this again.

It's just that one word, when it came to his lips, he couldn't say it.

Hongzhou looked at Yinqi, with spring water lingering in his eyes, filled with thousands of emotions.Yin Qi only glanced at him, then avoided him, turning his head away from him.

But then I heard Hong Zhou laughing and saying: "I'm stupid. How can I say so much, but it's getting farther and farther away? I came here today to see Uncle 23. Didn't the imperial doctor say yesterday that you You are already in good health, so why didn’t you go to the Yamen today? Or get angry with the emperor? It’s not worth it. You also know the emperor’s temper.”

Hearing that Hongzhou also talked about Yongzheng, Yin Qi shook his head, and didn't want to explain anything, he just said: "I'm sick, and the House of Internal Affairs has nothing to do, so what if I don't go for a few days? It's not to be angry with the emperor." , you don't have to persuade me."

He turned sideways, with his back facing Hongzhou, and was about to lie down on the kang.Hong Zhou grabbed his waist, picked him up, turned over, and faced him.

Hong Zhou lowered his head, the tip of his nose was almost touching Yin Qi's, breathing in contact.Hong Zhou said softly: "I'm not persuading you to please him, I wish you would tire of him...don't talk about that. I just want to tell you that even if he reprimands you or rejects him, it's fine. I'm there anyway. It's not like I don't know your ambitions. As long as there is me, there will be a day of development in the future."

His voice became lower and lower, until the last few sentences were barely audible.Yin Qi heard clearly, and immediately opened his eyes wide.

Ever since Hongzhou and him met, they have known each other well over the years. Hongzhou naturally has his own thoughts about the throne.When Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, although the two of them never said it clearly, Hongzhou also understood that Yinqi supported him more, and Yinqi also understood that Hongzhou had the mind and ability to fight for the throne.

But now that it was revealed like this, Yin Qi was both surprised and frightened.In the midst of such inexplicable fear, there is a tinge of joy.

Even if he didn't hide such words from him, Hong Zhou really really... really liked him.

But he lowered his voice and said: "How dare you say such a thing! This is not... a big treason!"

Hong Zhou twitched his lips and said, "In front of Uncle 23, is there anything wrong with saying this? If Uncle 23 tells others what he said, I can only admit it—Uncle 23 will never know, right?"

Yin Qi turned his face away from him, but Hong Zhou raised his hand, squeezed Yin Qi's chin and turned his face away, and said with a smile: "Uncle 23, I have a reason for saying this. I said this The only person I want to protect for the rest of my life is Uncle 23 except for my mother. Since I want to put you behind my back to protect me, I can definitely put my back on you——I can trust you, I have you in my heart, respect You love you, that's why you can say things like this, saying that I will protect you all my life."

The last sentence made Yinqi feel as if he was hit hard in his heart, as if he suddenly woke up from his ignorance.

It turned out that when Kangxi had just passed away, Hong Zhou had said such things to him...

Looking up at Hong Zhou again, Yin Qi suddenly realized at this time that he looked like a child at that time, and only thought that he just said it casually to comfort himself, but who knew that he was serious at that time.

You can trust me, you have me in your heart, so you can respect me, love me...?

Yinqi chewed this sentence carefully in his heart, and couldn't help feeling turbulent, with a kind of sadness in his heart.

Hong Zhou said again: "This is not to underestimate Uncle 23. I really have you in my heart, you are the most important thing, and even if you have a little injury, it is all hurt on me. Just It seems that seeing you sick these days, and seeing you feel uncomfortable in my heart and body, I can only feel more uncomfortable. Even if I know you come here, you can only tell me to look at you with a smile on your face , it just made me feel uncomfortable, but I paid it back.”

He chuckled again, and said: "It's just that it's the right time to come today. Uncle 23 gave me a good look. I was really happy in my heart. Looking at the cloudy sky, it seemed to be bright." Quite a few."

After Yinqi heard this, he just felt ashamed and annoyed.He clearly didn't say anything that would be misleading, but how could Hong Zhou...

Then he deliberately said in a low voice: "I don't mean anything else, so don't be too happy."

Hong Zhou smiled and said, "I still know how to measure."

Yinqi saw that he was just smiling, and couldn't help it for a while, so he simply said: "Since you are... and you still have thoughts about that seat, how can you have such thoughts? The Pope knows it, so don't think about it in your life! "

Hong Zhou slowly put away the smile on his face, sighed, and said, "It's because my mind is not pure enough... But if I can't sit in that seat, how can I feel at ease? I don't mean to fight for Uncle 23, In that case, Uncle 23 doesn't have to believe it.

"It's just that if Uncle 23 says he can't get along with me and rejects me because of this, in my heart, I can't be reconciled..."

He smiled wryly, and said, "I must fight for that seat. If Uncle 23 alienates me and hates me because of this, you can't control my heart and don't tell me to like you. Uncle 23 really loves you all his life." If you can't like me, then I will keep Uncle 23 in my heart for the rest of my life. Anyway, this is a lifetime."

~~~~~~~

Having said that, Hongzhou lowered his head, and suddenly stole another kiss on Yinqi's lips, and hugged Yinqi tightly.

Yin Qi was stunned, and when he woke up, it was too late, he opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything.

His heart still echoed Hong Zhou's words just now, it was really...shocking.

These are the real truths, not fighting for him, and unwilling to give up for him.These words are not pleasing to the ear, nor are they sweet words, but they are true words.

Being able to tell the truth is the hardest part.Yin Qi was stunned for a moment, but his heart just shook, thinking about Hong Zhou's words, this is also a lifetime - can he really like him all his life?
