Breeze

Someone sent Wang Yi out, and Yinqi sent the eunuch from Qingxi Bookstore away, and the eunuch brought by Yinxiang was left in the room, so Yinqi asked: "Brother Thirteen, why are you here today?" Ninth Brother is bothering you? It's like tearing your face. He's not like that."

Yinxiang just smiled wryly.

Seeing that Yinxiang didn't answer, Yinqi didn't know anything.He sneered slightly, and said: "I also heard Brother Nine's words, it's because of the incident with the yellow flag... Did Brother Thirteen dispose of Yuxing?"

Yinxiang was stunned, and sighed: "fourth brother always praises you for being smart, I thought it was just that he favored you. Looking at it now, he really has a scheming... Cough, much stronger than when I was my age, the strange way is the emperor I love you so much too."

Yin Qi just felt that what he said was a bit awkward, and didn't want to answer, so he bowed his head.In fact, it is not difficult to guess.

Brother Nine and Brother Thirteen's mother's family are both inlaid with yellow flags.However, because the noble concubine Zhang Jia's family background was not high, and she passed away early, in fact, there were no people in the thirteenth elder brother's mother's family.

Concubine Yi, on the other hand, is a dear and noble woman. She has been favored for many years, and her natal family's power has only become more and more prosperous.In the early years, Concubine Yi's eldest brother was in charge of Xianghuangqi, and later this person died, and this official position was taken by Concubine Yi's second brother—the Yuxing that Yin Qi mentioned—to take this official position.Therefore, the entire Yellow Banner force has long been controlled by Brother Jiu, so it is naturally the force of the Eighth Master Party.

Now a Yinxiang descended from the sky and got a hand in the Xianghuang Banner. He is clearly from the fourth elder brother's faction, and he always opposes his side, how could the ninth elder brother not be annoyed.

This dealt with his uncle Yuxing again, I'm afraid Yinzhen saw Yinxiang and was so annoyed that he wanted to go up and bite him.No wonder looking at Yinzhen today, he didn't have the usual laughing listlessness, but got angry directly like the tenth elder brother.

Yin Qi thought all the way, seeing that he didn't speak, Yin Xiang thought that his words were sour, which made Yin Qi unhappy.He was a little apologetic.

If it wasn't for Yinqi's help today, he might not even be able to get out of the garden safely.It's a trivial matter for him to suffer, but if he falls ill, he can't go to court, can't help each other, but it will be a drag on the fourth elder brother.

It stands to reason that he should feel that this younger brother is worth getting close to, but in his heart, he just couldn't calm down. He always felt that when he looked at Yinqi, there was an overly strong sense of envy in his heart.This is sour.

Feeling apologetic again at this moment, Yinxiang said sincerely: "Just now, the older brother was confused and said the wrong thing, so don't take it to heart. I also like you very much, younger brother."

Yinqi could also understand his mood, and it wasn't that he was annoyed, so he just smiled and said: "Brother Thirteen talks straight to me, and doesn't hide adultery, I'm happy, can you still be annoyed?"

It's just that he still felt a little awkward in his heart. He always felt that the thirteenth elder brother was jealous not purely because of Kangxi's favor, but because of the fourth elder brother.Otherwise, how come the thirteenth elder brother and the sixteenth elder brother are such good brothers, and they don't feel jealous at all?

But maybe it's because the age gap between the two of them is smaller after all, and they were still close to each other, unlike Yin Qi, who hadn't seen each other a few times since they were young.

Awkwardness is awkwardness, but Yin Qi doesn't want to be so fussy with Yin Xiang.Carried those words over, and stopped talking about Xianghuangqi, only talking about Yinxiang's illness, and going out of the garden tonight.

Yinqi was a little strange, so he asked: "When I saw Brother Thirteen coming out at Qingxi Bookstore, wasn't Prince Yong waiting for you? Why are you alone afterwards?"

Yinxiang smiled wryly and said: "The fourth brother is very busy, he separated from me on the way."

What Yin Qi wanted to ask was why the fourth elder brother didn't leave anyone to help the thirteenth elder brother.But Thirteenth Brother didn't answer, so he nodded and asked again: "Then how did Thirteenth Brother get out of the garden? Is there someone waiting outside the garden?"

Yinxiang said: "I have a coachman waiting outside the garden, as long as I get out of the garden, it will be fine."

Yinqi thought for a while, and said: "It's not that you can't sit in a sedan chair in the garden, but I don't have one. Why don't you ask Hong Zhou, or see if Prince Yong is leaving the garden. Remember that they all have sedan chairs. "

As he said that, he ordered people to go to Yunsongxuan, where most of the elder brothers and grandsons raised by Kangxi to study in the palace now live there.

Before the words finished, I heard the little eunuch shouting outside: "Fifth elder brother is here!"

Then the door curtain was raised, and it was Hong Zhou who walked in.

~~~~~~~

Hongzhou came to look for Yinqi, and he never expected that Brother Thirteen was also there.However, after hearing Yinqi's ins and outs, he didn't have another word at the moment, so he smiled and said, "Since I need my nephew, how can my nephew refuse? It's just that I need to talk to the prince about it. But it's all about Uncle Thirteen, If you don't tell the prince, he will definitely be angry afterwards, but my nephew can't bear it."

Yinxiang then sighed, "I'm going to trouble my fourth brother again."

Hong Zhou quickly gave Yin Qi a wink, and Yin Qi smiled and said: "Brother Thirteen and the prince are the closest brothers, what trouble do you have between brothers? It's just a favor for each other, it's like helping yourself generally."

Yinxiang was stunned, and seemed to be talking to himself, saying: "I just want me to help him, and I don't want him to worry about me..."

As he was speaking, he knew it was a slip of the tongue.Just watching Yin Qi talking to Hong Zhou, as if he didn't hear what he said, he was relieved and closed his eyes to rest.

Seeing that he closed his eyes, Yin Qi and Hong Zhou looked at each other, their voices gradually became quieter.After a while, Yin Qi waved to Hong Zhou, and the two went to the outside room.

Hong Zhou came by himself, Yin Qi asked him: "What are you looking for me for?"

Seeing the moisture on Hongzhou's hair, Yin Qi knew that he had been outside for a long time, his hair was so cold, and when he entered the room, the moisture condensed on his hair.So when I asked this question, I guessed that Hongzhou didn't come directly from Yunsongxuan.

Hong Zhou said: "It turned out that I hadn't seen Uncle 23 for a whole day. I missed it, so I went to see the emperor. After I went there, I heard from Liu Tiecheng that Uncle 23 resigned from the emperor's meal and came to greet Mr. Jing." , and my nephew found it here again."

Yinqi raised his eyebrows and looked at him with a smile, and said, "You just miss me? Are you really asking me for nothing?"

Hong Zhou smiled and said, "Uncle 23 also knows that my nephew relies on Uncle 23 everywhere in this palace."

Yinqi snorted and said, "I knew you would go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. You don't live with me now, and you have someone closer, why don't you go find him?"

After hearing this, Hong Zhou smiled even more brightly, got up and rubbed against Yin Qi, and said with a smile, "Uncle 23, are you just jealous?"

Yin Qi didn't expect him to say such words so bluntly, so he choked.I forgot all the words I thought about before, and just stared at Hong Zhou for a while, not knowing what to say.

Hong Zhou laughed more and said: "Uncle 23, relax. Although I live close to Brother 21 now, it's not like the two of us live in the same courtyard in the Forbidden City, but we see each other more often when we go in and out. How can I get closer to him? Besides, it’s not like I won’t see you anymore. I go to the emperor to pay my respects every day, so I can see you? "

Yin Qi still didn't know what to say, so Hong Zhou continued: "And there is also a saying that comes first, first come first. Although we are both uncles and nephews, I knew you first after all. We are naturally good friends, brother 21 is still you It led me to know him, even if I get along with him, I can't get past you. Do you think this is the reason?"

He smiled, and said again: "Although it is said that the emperor took pity on you and let you live with Mr. Jing, I feel that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. In Yunsongxuan, it is said that you have fallen out of favor a lot. I want you to live with the emperor even more, even if I live outside the garden with the prince and listen to his lessons every day, I feel better."

Yin Qi just felt awkward listening to him.It's like listening to Elder Brother Thirteen's words just now, and it always makes people feel that there are some inexplicable meanings in it, which are too vague to be explained.

At that moment, he just wanted to divert the conversation, and said: "You are fawning on the prince to teach you now, and when he really stares at you to teach you, don't come back to me in disgrace."

Hong Zhou just laughed, and said: "I always follow Uncle 23, the prince just talks about me."

~~~~~~~

Just as he was talking about Prince Yong, he saw Prince Yong blowing in like a gust of wind.Yin Qi had never seen him so impatient, and was a little frightened for a while.After Prince Yong nodded to him and entered the bedroom, it took a while for Yinqi to come back to his senses.

Seeing Hong Zhou laughing at the side, "What? Are you frightened?"

Yin Qi nodded, took a sip of hot tea, and then said: "Usually, I only see the prince's indifferent and calm appearance, but that time when Elder Brother Shi was very angry, he was only a little gloomy, but still had a calm face. Just now I saw He changed color, really unexpected."

Hong Zhou didn't say anything, just sighed softly.

Yinqi didn't want to ask any gossip, so he immediately changed his words: "You just said, what do you want from me?"

Hongzhou seemed to be in a daze just now, and Yin Qi asked the second time before he said: "Oh, it's not a big deal. But I want you to go to the school grounds with me tomorrow and help me deal with a few people."

Yinqi frowned and said, "Who can't even handle you? Is someone bullying you?"

Hong Zhou smiled and said: "It's not enough to bully. It's just that he is a difficult one, and he has 21 elder brothers to support him. He called me over this morning. He said it was for drinking, but even [-] elder brothers can't help him." Couldn't stop it."

Hearing that it was Elder Brother Twenty, Yinqi frowned even more, and said in a low voice, "Is it that Keming from Prince An's family? How did he find you? Could it be that they don't know that you are Prince Yong's son?"

Hong Zhou said with a sarcasm: "Back then, Dabeile Daishan still had a good son like Shuotuo Yuetuo? Just say, now, there is still my good third brother... The prince dotes on my fourth brother with such fanfare, everyone loves him." Knowing that he must be the son of Prince Yong, how could he not pay attention to me?"

When Yinqi heard this, he was taken aback. He never thought that Hongzhou would dare to say it so directly.Prince Yong was in the inner room, so he was not afraid of being heard by Prince Yong.

Hastily dragging people to the side room used as a study, half-closed the door, and took out a book to cover it, Yinqi then said softly: "You have to be careful. Now this matter is not just about dealing with the people over there. .My lord, you have to think about how to explain it. Even though they are father and son... I am afraid that some villain will provoke you."

Hong Zhou sighed, stretched out his hand to cover Yin Qi's hand on the table, and said, "I know. Now it's only you, and you're all for me. The prince...do you really think he doesn't know? He treats me more and more alienated. I don't know if it's a play, or a fake show for real."

The sadness in his voice could not be concealed, and Yin Qi couldn't help feeling distressed.Hong Zhou only celebrated his eighth birthday last month, such a young child...

Yin Qi also had doubts in his heart, whether Prince Yong was really suspicious.Prince Yong was criticized by his descendants as being suspicious and headstrong. He has traveled through the past few years and looked at him. It cannot be said that he understands Prince Yong, but he also knows that his suspicion is true.

Although he himself made the plan to help Hongli become Hongzhou's whetstone or even a shield, but now that outsiders are really wooing Hongzhou, how can he be indifferent.

In particular, Prince Yong is a man with a heart disease, and he has a Hongshi, who is already at odds with him.Even if he didn't hang out with the eighth elder brother at the moment, he was still close.When Prince Yong looked at such a son, how could he not be disgusted?

Seeing that the people on Prince An's side wanted to win Hong Zhou over, he must have felt very complicated.On the one hand, he didn't want to destroy his original plan, and on the other hand, he was afraid that Hong Zhou was young, and things would go wrong if he was bewitched by that side.

The strange reason is that when Prince Caiyong walked in, Hong Zhou greeted him with a strange expression on his face.

Then I remembered that when I saw him outside Qingxi Bookstore in the next afternoon, Prince Yong smiled at Yinqi several times in a rare way, and then hurriedly pulled Yinqi to his side. It turned out that he still used Yinqi to tie Hong Day thought?

It's just that a father can't restrain his son, so can he count on an uncle to restrain him?

This can be regarded as rushing to the doctor in a hurry, Prince Yong is afraid that he is really suspicious of Hong Zhou.

Yinqi just shook his head at the moment, and said: "The prince is very clear in his heart, but you think he is a fool. Didn't you underestimate your own Ama? The plan in his heart is long-term, and you should know him It's for your own good."

It almost revealed Prince Yong's intentions. Although Hongzhou knew it from the beginning, it was the first time he heard Yinqi say it so clearly, and he was a little stunned at the moment.

Then I heard Yinqi say again: "It's normal for him to be suspicious. If he is not suspicious, he is stupid if he says something ugly. Hearing the common saying again, caring makes chaos. The prince values ​​you in his heart, which is why he is so chaotic. Even if he sees it clearly, he still can't let it go—this is because he cares about you. Think about it carefully. "

After hearing this, Hong Zhou looked better, but he was still worried.After thinking for a while, he said: "You say it like this, it seems to be the truth. But now I am also worried that the prince has been so suspicious, and nothing will be done. I am afraid that it will be difficult in the future. My fourth brother is not either. It's easy to dismiss, and my third brother... I can't go on like this."

Yinqi thought for a while, since Prince Yong also had the same thoughts, they might as well accept Prince Yong's wishes and let him worry less.Prince Yong had paved the way ahead, only Yin Qi and Hong Zhou were left to go up.Anyway, it doesn't take much effort, and it can make Prince Yong suspicious, so why not do it.

It's just that this time I'm afraid I'm going to offend a lot of people.
