Sometimes Yinqi inevitably thinks that maybe his thoughts and ambitions can only be displayed in a fair manner after Hongzhou succeeds to the throne.

However, after all, I still want—or I can’t help it—to do something while Yongzheng is alive, so that he can see his talent and recognize his ability.

Also let him know that besides Prince Yi, he has another brother who can also be trusted wholeheartedly.

Thinking of this, Yin Qi couldn't help but smile wryly.

It turned out that even though he was disappointed, his loyalty to Yongzheng remained the same.

After the edict incident, the relationship between Yinqi and Yongzheng was not so rigid and indifferent. They were still able to joke and care about each other.

However, the original true blood connection, closeness like brothers and father and son, is really gone.

It's just so lukewarm, we both know each other, and we want to repair each other, but we really don't know how to get back to the past.Wanting to explain, wanting to show favor, wanting to beg for forgiveness and act like a baby and pretend to be stupid like before, but can't say anything, so I can only be awkward like this-until the affection gradually fades away.

After thinking about it again, as long as it can be reused, emotional matters, seriously... don't care too much.

The relationship between him and Yongzheng, which is placed at the forefront, should only be that of monarch and minister after all.

After a long silence, Yin Qi finally nodded and said, "My son knows."

~~~~~~~

I invited the Qianjin Department of Tai Hospital to take good care of her and took good medicine. In the early summer of May of the following year, Harina finally had good news.Yin Qi couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, this half a year was enough for him to suffer until he was haggard.

Such good news naturally spread quickly, and on the second day Yinqi met Hongli in front of the courtyard of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.He looked a little weird, but he himself said that he came to congratulate him.Yinqi smiled and said, "I would like to congratulate you even more—you just added a little elder brother the day before yesterday, didn't you? Your aunt said this morning that you should go there to reap the blessings when you are in the third bath."

When Hongli heard the mention of his little elder brother, although there was still some sadness between his brows, he couldn't help showing a little joy because of it.Later, when Yinqi heard about Harina's child, he felt a little depressed again.After a while, he finally sighed: "This is the first child... I also hope that Fujin will get a boy in one fell swoop... I can have a brother, it's also good."

Before he finished speaking, another person came out from behind, looking in a hurry, he seemed to be running over.Yin Qi knew that he was coming too, so he smiled and said, "What is Hong Zhou doing in such a hurry?"

Hong Zhou stopped in front of him, and said with a smile, "Hurry up to congratulate Uncle 23. In case I'm late, the words of congratulations have already been finished by others, so what else should I say?"

As he spoke, he pulled Yinqi's wrist again, and said, "Uncle 23's errand is over now, is he going home? Don't go back, let's go to Zhuangzi together tonight, the first batch of watermelons this year has arrived. Let's go eat something fresh."

Turning to Hongli with a smile, "Fourth Brother is coming too?"

Hongli stared at the two of them for a while, then said, "That's fine. Tomorrow happens to be Xiumu, so I'll simply live outside the city today."

Immediately after leaving the palace, he went all the way to Hongzhou's Zhuangzi in the north of the city. As soon as he entered, Hongzhou ordered someone to bring up the freshly picked watermelon, and then he said about serving wine.Yin Qi didn't want to be courteous with him, and sat down by himself, and said with a smile: "Is this watermelon biased towards us first? You don't remember to be filial to the emperor—isn't the emperor the favorite to eat watermelon?"

Before Hong Zhou could answer, the watermelon was brought up first.It's just that the ones holding the plate are not the usual servants in Zhuangzi, but a pair of sisters who look exactly alike.

The two girls are both fourteen or fifteen years old, with graceful figures and elegant looks, and there is an indescribable charm in their actions. Yin Qi saw it in his eyes, and guessed that this should be a special tune.Those who teach are definitely not bannermen or Baoyi's daughters.

After putting down the plate, the two girls did not leave, but retreated behind Hong Zhou.Hong Zhouyin pointed and smiled and said, "How about these two? A few days ago, the servants came here as a filial piety. I heard that when they bought them, they were in pairs, and they charged a full price of three thousand three hundred taels of silver. , Uncle 300, fourth brother, do you think it's worth it?"

Hongli naturally liked women with such character, and there was a hint of admiration in his eyes, but he turned his head to Hongzhou and said: "Just put it on the Zhuangzi, it's just a plaything. Don't let it go at home. Put it aside, or you will break the rules."

Yin Qi glanced at it twice, and then thought that this should be the "skinny horse" that people had heard about in the yamen.

Originally speaking, these two girls have good looks and elegant temperament, and it is even more rare that they are twins. Standing in front of them is really pleasing to the eye, a rare sight.However, as long as I think that these two girls are actually playthings, it makes people feel awkward—if they are exactly the same, if they are really placed side by side on the bed, wouldn't it be weird?

He couldn't help but frowned, Hong Zhou saw it, and smiled aside: "Fourth Brother, how can I do this regardless of the importance? Isn't this being placed on Zhuangzi?"

He looked at Yinqi again, and said with a smile: "Actually, I didn't want to use these two. They were originally prepared for 23rd Uncle's coming."

Yin Qi was startled and looked up at him.Hong Zhou smiled, but there was an expression of unclear meaning in his eyes, and said: "This can also be regarded as my congratulatory gift to Uncle 23. They are specially trained and taught by a special person. They are good at playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Minger So I asked someone to send Uncle 23 to the house in the outer city, and Uncle 23 would often pass by without incident, just to relieve boredom."

Harina is pregnant, so it is so-called inconvenient to serve.Apart from her, Yinqi has no concubine or concubine, so it is naturally clear what Hong Zhou meant by sending these two people.

But, did he really mean that?

Before it was clear, Hongli said: "Old five! You used to mess around, but you didn't say anything. Why do you dare to do this today! Where did this come from, so you dare to give it to Uncle 23? Your name is the emperor. knew……"

Before he finished speaking, Hong Zhou interrupted, and said with a smile: "If you don't let him know, it's fine? You said it will be left outside, but it doesn't mean that Uncle 23 will bring it into the palace. It's just a fun thing. Did the fourth brother say it was good when he saw it just now? Why can I use it, but Uncle 23 can’t?"

Hongli was at a loss for words for a while, and then said after a pause: "You don't want to see how you messed up until now? Uncle 23..."

In the middle of the speech, he couldn't speak anymore, and just stared at Hong Zhou.Hong Zhou raised his eyebrows, but did not answer.

Yinqi sighed: "You two started arguing by yourself, why didn't you ask me?"

Both of them immediately turned their faces and looked at Yinqi.Yin Qi said: "So, since Hongzhou is going to take these two people down, I won't accept them, so I don't want to give him face, right? I don't say anything about refusing. It's just that this person is still here. Fourth elder brother That’s right, what’s the point of me taking it back? Even if it’s left in the outer city, it’s not worth it. Your aunt only has a body, and now I’ve brought these two girls back, what do you think your aunt thinks?”

After saying such words, Yinqi himself suddenly realized.It turned out that Hong Zhou's intention was here?Use these two girls to make Harina uncomfortable and make Harina fight with him?

Then, he can take advantage of it again.

Thinking of this, Yin Qi immediately raised his face, and said to Hong Zhou: "Perhaps I shouldn't give you this face this time. You should keep these two girls for yourself."

Hongzhou was taken aback, but he was not disappointed or angry, he just smiled and said, "Uncle 23 and Auntie are really very affectionate."

~~~~~~~

In the blink of an eye, Hong Zhou ordered someone to arrange a house for Yinqi and Hong Li. They were not the first to come back, they were familiar with the paths, and they went back separately, and Hong Zhou did not send them into the house anymore.

Yin Qi finished washing and fell on the bed. Thinking back on Hong Zhou's words and deeds today, he always felt that today he was inviting me to eat melons and presenting a "skinny horse". Just mix a few words.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard the door knock, and a person walked in lightly, approaching the bed.Yinqi opened his eyes wide to see, the man bent down, so close that he could hear his breath, only then did he see that it was Hong Zhou.

Yin Qi hurriedly moved back, and said in a low voice, "Why did you touch it?"

Hong Zhou didn't answer, sat on the edge of the bed, leaned over and forced Yin Qi to continue to move backwards, he didn't stop until his back touched the wall, he laughed softly, and said: "Come and see Uncle 23, here Rest comfortably."

Yinqi turned his face away and said, "Any answer is fine. I was about to fall asleep when you touched me, and I was quarreled by you again."

Hong Zhou laughed softly: "Uncle 23 is lying to me. How long have you been here? Will you be able to fall asleep?"

Yin Qi opened the hand he stretched out and said, "What are you doing here?"

Hong Zhou said: "It's just thinking, Uncle 23 Xu has never... afraid that Uncle 23 will be lonely alone, so..."

His voice was getting lower and lower, and he was getting closer and closer, and finally his voice was close to his ears, and he said in a very soft voice: "Nephew, come and recommend yourself a pillow mat..."

Yin Qi's heart trembled when he heard that, he quickly opened him and shouted in a low voice: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Hong Zhou was hit on the shoulder by him, his body tilted, and he fell sideways on the edge of the bed. He smiled and said, "Uncle 23 doesn't want me, and he has other things ready outside. As for the two Uncle 23 saw today, both Bring it to you, how about it?"

Yin Qi opened his mouth, bit his lower lip again, and said after a while, "Stop talking nonsense!"

Hongzhou propped himself up again, leaned closer, and smiled at Yin Qi's nose: "Uncle 23 is here, and he is also my distinguished guest, so how can he not treat you well? Uncle 23 also choose one, either me, or It's them..."

Yin Qi gritted his teeth and shouted in a low voice: "Get lost! I don't need anyone!"

However, Hong Zhou stretched out his arms and hugged him up, his face changed from laughing to calm. Seeing his change, Yin Qi couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, then came back to realize that he was already in the arms of the other party.

It's too late to break free at this time, and it doesn't look like that.Anyway, it's not like I haven't hugged him before. At this time, Hong Zhou was not too much besides hugging his shoulders. Yin Qi sighed and said, "What's the matter with you? Since I saw you today, look It's not right. You have offended your fourth brother a lot just now, why can't you be round in front of him?"

Hong Zhou showed a little helplessness on his face, and sighed: "I also know that I shouldn't argue with him, it's just that...every time I bump into him, it's the most uncomfortable time in my heart. And...all When it's about you."

He moved closer, with his lips almost touching Yinqi's cheek, and said softly: "Since you got married, you really thought that when I saw you every day, I was smiling from the bottom of my heart... Sometimes I just wish I could never I don't need to see you...But I feel even more sad if I don't see you...This time my aunt has good news again, and I feel happy and sad at the same time..."

Sighing, Hong Zhou said again: "Maybe it's because you can't understand me, it's just that in my heart, that's how it feels. In fact, when I saw you today, it's the same. It's a good thing to think that you have an heir. , but when I think about it again, it was you and others... In the future, your heart will definitely be shared with him, and I wish I could not have that child..."

Yinqi is silent.It's not like he didn't know what Hong Zhou said.

He got married, he married Harina, and Harina became pregnant... Regarding these things, it was reasonable for Hongzhou to feel resentment in his heart, or want to avoid him.It's just that he heard it in his ears and still felt sad in his heart.

I can't tell exactly what the reason for the sadness is, it's always these discomforts, which cannot be separated from Hong Zhou.

It seems that some feel sorry for him, and some...

It seems that he can experience and understand Hongzhou's mood, so he feels even more sad for him.

In a flash, he thought of when he faced Yongzheng.

Although there are differences in feelings, but... when we get along, the mood is the same.

contradiction.

Because of the former friendship, from the bottom of my heart, I don’t want to let each other be so unfamiliar, I can’t help but always want to see him, want to get along more, want to say something caring...

It can be seen that if you really see it, it will be even more difficult.

It is always inevitable to be on guard against him, to suspect the meaning of his words, to... be hurt by his intentional or unintentional indifference and indifference.

Until today, Yin Qi realized that it was not just that he wanted to forget and alienate, but he could really forget and alienate.

Emotional things are never as easy and simple as imagined.

After Kangxi passed away, there were only a few close people around him.

And there is only one person who can replace Kangxi's father's love and protection for Yinqi, Yongzheng.

Perhaps when he himself didn't realize it, Yin Qi empathized.

Therefore, it is really no longer possible to just regard Yongzheng as the emperor—just like, he could not just regard Kangxi as the historical Emperor Kangxi.

It may be difficult to develop feelings between people, but it is even more difficult to take back that feeling.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a softening in his heart.

For more than a year, watching Hong Zhou messing around, he actually made a faint gesture in front of outsiders, as if he was going to develop in the direction of that absurd prince in history.

This is not all to hide one's true strength, as a cover and disguise...
