Breeze

I thought that the light footsteps with some small steps were the footsteps of a young man, and there should be no one else except Hong Zhou.Who knew it was him.

Yinqi smiled slightly and said, "I thought it was Hong Zhou, but why is it the fourth elder brother? Has the prince not finished teaching him yet?"

Hongli stepped forward and said with a smile: "My lord still has something to tell my fifth brother. I thought Uncle 23 might have to wait for my fifth brother, so my nephew said, come and tell Uncle 23, don't wait for him."

Yin Qi nodded and said: "I'm sorry to bother you, Brother Si, to make this trip. Originally, I was planning to go back by myself after a while, but I just saw the plum blossom for a while, and I was a little surprised."

Hongli also leaned over, sniffed the plum blossoms with his eyes closed, and said with a smile, "The fragrance is not in the pistils, nor in the calyx, but the fragrance is deep in the bones. This plum blossom is said to be proud of snow and frost. It's not a lie."

Yinqi laughed and said: "Si elder brother is very knowledgeable, but I can't understand the few words you just said. If Si elder brother is not busy in the future, I still want to ask fourth elder brother for advice."

At the beginning, when Yinqi said that he couldn't understand what he said, Hongli's face became a little stiff; later, when Yinqi said that he wanted to ask him for advice, he suddenly laughed again.

He said a few words modestly, "If Uncle 23 has a heart, Hongli will naturally agree."

Yin Qi patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Then I will thank you in advance. Hong Zhou and I are both difficult to study. It is so easy to have you. Sinology is so good, but we two took advantage of you. "

Comparing him with Hong Zhou, Hong Li was even happier, and hurriedly said: "Uncle 23 thinks highly of my nephew. Hong Li is just a beginner, and he is very careful when he reads and speaks."

Yinqi only said: "The fourth elder brother is too modest."

After a few words of modesty, Hongli frowned slightly and asked, "Uncle 23, why don't you just call me by my name?"

Yin Qi raised his eyes to look at him, and said with a smile: "I forgot, Prince Yong is also the fourth elder brother."

Hongli didn't expect this reason, and after a moment of surprise, he said, "Hongli is also Uncle 23's nephew. Since Uncle 23 is called Hong Zhou's name, why is he called Hongli's brother Pai Xing?"

Yinqi laughed and said: "It's not that I haven't asked Si elder brother, I don't know what Si elder brother thinks. If I call you by your name directly, I'm afraid Si elder brother thinks that I have underestimated you. This is not appropriate."

Hongli was considerate at this time, and quickly smiled and said, "Although uncle 23 is young, he is still our uncle. What's wrong with uncle calling his nephew by name? Uncle 23 called Hongli's name, Hongli Li can only feel close and happy."

Although it is indeed such a truth, such an idea, but Hongli said it a bit bluntly.Yin Qi just smiled and stopped answering.

The two of them stood like this, and felt deserted and awkward after a while, so Hongli picked up the poems about plum blossoms and read them to Yinqi side by side.I was also afraid that he was really as he said, I didn't understand, and I even bothered to explain.

Yin Qi just felt a little sleepy.

This Hongli clearly looked down on him in his bones.From the first time they met, Yin Qi knew that this young man who was promoted by Prince Yong's mansion had a very high vision.Even though he is an uncle in seniority, Hongli doesn't really respect Yinqi very much.At this time, he came to show his courtesy again. It was really either rape or robbery.I just don't know what he is planning.

Furthermore, Yin Qi just stopped here and waited for Hong Zhou with the excuse of plum blossoms.Anyone in the palace who knew him a little knew that Yinqi's favorite was the so-called rich and gaudy peonies.With Hongli working so hard, Yinqi really has no interest—if he really wants to please, he should also know what he likes in the person he wants to please, right?

And those poems, Yin Qi in his previous life didn't know how many times he had memorized them.How can it be strange that Hongli told him so.

So only Hongli was preaching eloquently, and Yin Qi sometimes smiled or nodded, thinking in his heart why Hongli always talked to him.

Speaking of which, Hongli was also a very precocious child, but Yinqi had a bad impression of Qianlong in his previous life's memory, so when he never saw him, he always had some resistance to him.

Perhaps it was because of this resistance from the previous life that Yin Qi didn't like it when he saw Hongli for the first time in this life.Hongli has become a habit of being praised by others, so he naturally has a kind of arrogance.Whether it is towards Hong Zhou or Yin Qi, there is always a feeling of superiority, even if he wants to get close, he still behaves awkwardly.Yinqi was impatient to coax the children.

It was probably when Hong Zhou entered the palace that Hong Li realized that not everything went smoothly in his life.I also know that the advantage of being close to Yinqi is not only that there is an uncle of a similar age to play with.Ever since Hong Zhou entered the palace, Yin Qi found that Hong Li also began to warm up to him.

It's just that at this time, what's the use of being close to please?Yin Qi didn't want Hong Zhou to feel that he was two-sided, that he was close to his younger brother and hot with his elder brother.Yin Qi has already made up his mind, he wants to see if he can change the established future that will be called history in the future.

His idea is to push Hong Zhou to succeed him.

This is also the reason why he has been close to the fourth elder brother these days, and from time to time said good things for the fourth elder brother in front of Kangxi.

If you want to promote Hong Zhou to the throne, you have to watch the fourth elder brother take over Kangxi's class first.

Therefore, it is too late for Yinqi to destroy Hongli's plan, so how can he help him.

Maybe he also knew that Yin Qi was absent-minded. When Hongli spoke, he always made people feel hesitant to speak, and his face was also a little ugly.It's just that he didn't show any anger or dissatisfaction, which is an improvement.

Yin Qi also couldn't bear it, after all, this was only an eight or nine-year-old child, so he was naturally uncomfortable with being so indifferent to him.Yinqi thought for a while, then sighed: "Hongli, you sound like a song, but I can't understand it. Let's stop talking about this, let's talk about bow horse riding and shooting, I can understand these things understandable things."

Hearing what he said, Hongli's complexion improved again, and he said with a smile: "Uncle 23 wants to hear my nephew talk about bowing horses? This is what my nephew likes. I heard that the emperor will go to Rehe for a while. If the prince Follower, my nephew will accompany Uncle 23 to hunt some foxes with beautiful fur, and it would be nice to make a muff in winter."

Yinqi laughed and said, "Has Hongli ever hunted a fox? But he is better than me as an uncle. Last year when the emperor was in Rehe, I ran several times on the grassland, and only hunted a deer. Kind of. Shot a deer, but it turned out to be a fawn."

Hongli smiled and comforted him: "Didn't Uncle 23 only have his fifth birthday last year? Being able to hunt roe deer and deer is already amazing. My nephew only shoots rabbits when he is six years old."

As he was talking, he heard someone shouting from a distance behind him: "Uncle 23!"

Yin Qi turned his head, this is Hong Zhou's arrival.He waved to him and said with a smile, "Hong Zhou, hurry up!"

Hong Zhou trotted all the way over, there were a few drops of sweat on the tip of his nose, he didn't know why he was in such a hurry.Yinqi took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to him, saying: "Wipe off your sweat quickly, and let the cold wind blow again later, it will feel better when you catch a cold."

Hong Zhou took the handkerchief, wiped his forehead and nose, and then said with a smile, "Isn't Uncle 23 loving my nephew?"

Yin Qi glanced at him and said, "If you are sick, move me out of the warm pavilion and sleep in your west wing. I don't feel sorry for you."

Hong Zhou wiped off his sweat, but he didn't return the handkerchief to Yin Qi, and stuffed it into his sleeve.Then he bowed to Hongli and said with a smile, "I've seen the fourth brother. I thought the fourth brother had already left the palace."

Ever since he saw Hong Zhou, there was no smile on Hong Li's face.Although it is not so gloomy, it is not a happy look either.At the moment, he just said indifferently: "I asked Uncle 23 to say a few words, but I just went out of the palace. Didn't you go out too?"

The atmosphere was a bit cold for a while, Yin Qi smiled and said: "Since you don't leave the palace immediately, you can go and sit with me for a while. You brothers also haven't seen each other for some time. Although you lived outside during Hongzhou yesterday, you must be by the prince's side. It's also restrained. It's at my place today, so you two can chat and say goodbye."

~~~~~~~

Back in Jiangyun Yinghua, Gao Hui had ordered the little eunuch who was doing chores to heat up the kang, and the tea was also prepared and placed on the small stove beside the kang.Thinking that the imperial banquet must not be enough to eat, he also prepared meals and snacks.Although because he lived next to Zaoxue Hall, he followed Kangxi for all the supplies, so he didn't dare to give Yin Qi the prince's share after giving the banquet.But looking at the four-color dishes, a bowl of Oden red rice is also clean and refreshing, just looking at it makes people appetite.

Yin Qi watched Gao Hui come out of the house, and changed his clothes and shoes neatly.Looking at the house where everything is in order, I only feel emotion in my heart.

It would be great if Gao Hui never had a second heart.With her by my side, I really don't have to worry about anything.

Gao Hui's guess was right, Yin Qi really didn't have enough to eat at the imperial banquet.Because Kangxi was not in a high mood, everyone didn't dare to let go of eating. When all the dishes were removed, at most they could eat four to five cents full.

Not only Yinqi, but also Hongli and Hongzhou were hungry.The two of them were growing up, they already had a larger appetite, and they were hungry quickly. They had just stood in the snow for a long time, and when they saw something to eat, their stomachs gurgled in unison.Reflecting each other, the sound is really not small.

Yin Qi burst out laughing, Hong Li blushed immediately, but Hong Zhou scratched his head and said with a smile, "This time I taught Uncle 23 a joke."

Gao Hui hurriedly said: "The two elder brothers think they are also hungry, but the slaves didn't expect it, they are less prepared."

It's just that it's too late to prepare meals at this time.Jiang Yunyinghua didn't have a kitchen, and if he went to the imperial kitchen at Zaoxuetang, he was afraid of alarming Kangxi.Gao Hui also hesitated for a while.

Yin Qi laughed and said: "I see that this meal is quite a lot, I can't eat it. Hongzhou, don't dislike me, we just have a bowl of rice. Hongli, I'm wronging you, the plate over there For snacks, you need to pad your stomach first. Ask Gao Hui to get you lotus root powder or milk, and you’ll just make up for it, that’s just one meal. Wait a while and leave the palace, go back to the prince’s mansion, and then eat seriously.”

He made such an arrangement, Hongli and Hongzhou naturally did not disagree.Gao Hui went out, took an empty bowl, and asked someone to make lotus root powder for Hongli to drink.

Several people were hungry, and they ate everything in a short time.Hongli looked at the two dim sum plates and the bottomless empty bowl with only a few sesame seeds and puff pastry left, and said with a smile, "I was really hungry just now."

Hong Zhou also laughed and said, "Fourth brother usually eats, but he can't eat so much. But the emperor's food is good——Uncle 23's dim sum meals are all brought from the emperor's kitchen?"

Yin Qi drank his tea slowly and didn't answer.Hong Zhou didn't ask him for an answer, but just followed Hong Li's words, looking for something to say, and also bowed his head to drink tea.

For a while the room was quiet.

Yin Qi wanted to say something to Hong Zhou in private, but Hong Li had no intention of leaving.Yinqi also didn't want to drive Hongli away, making him feel uncomfortable.

Hong Zhou seems to think so but doesn't think so.He glanced at Hongli, then smiled and said: "Uncle 23, why don't you let my nephew stay here all night? Look outside, there are snowflakes again."

Before Yinqi could answer, Hongli frowned and said, "You haven't reported to the emperor, how dare you stay in the palace at will?"

Hong Zhou laughed and said, "Fourth brother, I have no bad intentions. Uncle 23 doesn't have any female relatives here. Anyway, he will come in tomorrow, and my younger brother has the emperor's permission to stay with Uncle 23 in the palace. In this palace Isn't it also in the palace? If you stay here for one night, you won't be able to let others know? Fourth brother won't tell me, right?"

He begged and winked at Hongli.Hongli wanted to tell Prince Yong, but he might not be able to speak at this time.He is the elder brother, and he is afraid of being judged as not caring for his younger brother and being unkind.

Seeing Hongli's mouth opening and closing, his face getting more and more ugly, Yin Qi felt a little sympathetic to this young man.Hong Zhou is not easy to provoke.

I don't know why Hongli made Hongzhou unhappy today, Hongzhou deliberately made things difficult for him.

If it was said that Prince Yong brought Hongli with him in the morning but not Hongzhou, it was also because of Prince Yong.And after Yinqi's persuasion, Hongzhou should have calmed down.

I'm afraid that Hong Zhou was not happy when he saw him talking to Hong Li just now.

How come I didn't realize earlier that this Hong Zhou is so good at twisting sour?

Or was he worried that Yinqi would be pulled to his side by Hongli and stop helping him?

Yin Qi was a little funny, this Hong Zhou, who usually couldn't see it, was a little childish at this time.My playmates, people around me, can't be nice to others.Otherwise, you will be jealous and play petty temper.

Hong Zhou's petty temper is naturally different from ordinary children.He didn't go to Yinqi, but to Hongli.

Seeing that Hongli didn't know how to answer, Xu thought on the one hand that it was indeed wrong for Hongzhou to stay here overnight with Yinqi; .

And Hong Zhou just said it, and begged him to help conceal it.It would be bad if he refused with a cold face.

He glanced at Hongzhou, then at Yinqi, and Yinqi knew what he was thinking about.

After all, I still can't bear it.This is still a child.

Yinqi smiled and said, "Hongli, you don't have to be in trouble. Today, you two, listen to Uncle 23's words."
