Breeze

Walking all the way to Qingxi Bookstore, Yin Qi just wanted to laugh.Su Yao followed him, couldn't help but asked, "Master, what's the matter? Are you so happy today?"

Yin Qi shook his head and said with a smile: "How much should I believe what brother Hongli said just now?"

Su Yao thought for a while, and said: "A servant girl dare not talk nonsense about Elder Brother Hongli. I just think that what he said later sounds sincere and sincere. I'm afraid he didn't want to deceive the master."

Yinqi laughed and said, "Yes, you also said that you can listen to what you said later."

In other words, the previous statement is actually a lie.

How could it be such a coincidence that he was gossiping with Fujin here, talking about Hong Zhou's mistakes, and the fourth prince overheard him?It's not such a coincidence that it's intentional.

I'm afraid that besides Hongli, there are some ideas of Nalashi Fujin here.

Yin Qi felt that [-]% to [-]% of the words about grievances were true.If Hongli wanted to tell a lie, he really couldn't come up with such a high-level lie that could impress even Yin Qi and deceive him.What can really move people in this world is the truth after all.After so many years in the Forbidden City, the pretended grievances have long been unable to deceive Yin Qi's eyes.

Looking at it this way, Hongli is not such a sinister heart.Coupled with the words Yinqi said today, there will be something left in his heart to some extent.After all, they have never been separated since they were children, and the two brothers who grew up together, even if Hongzhou has always been dissatisfied with Hongli, they always regard him as an older brother, let alone Hongli - he is simpler than Hongzhou.

Their brothers are well, so it is naturally good for them both.Hong Zhou also didn't need to be distracted to guard against Hong Li, so the danger of fire in the backyard would naturally be reduced.

While thinking about it, he planned to talk to Hong Zhou sometime, so that he could win over Hong Li so that the brothers could get along better in the future.Even if Hongli can't be made Prince He, he can't be as incompatible as Kangxi's sons are now.

When it was time to serve dinner, the fourth elder brother was still kneeling at the door of Qingxi Bookstore.Yin Qi walked past him, took a careful look at him, but met his eyes.

The fourth elder brother had no emotion in his eyes, calm, as if he didn't think about anything, didn't look at anything.It's just that Yin Qi felt his heart beating, his heart was pounding, and he became nervous.

After taking several deep breaths, he dared to enter the room. When he saw Kangxi, he was reading with a booklet.Seeing Yinqi coming in, he waved with a smile and said: "Yinqi, come here! The fresh gadgets on the kang, which one do you like, pick a few and go back to play! I will reward you."

Yinqi looked at it once, as if it was a tourist souvenir brought back from the northwest, he took a Tibetan silver slingshot, and asked with a smile: "Huang Ama, is the fourteenth brother back?"

Kangxi smiled and said: "He didn't come back, he was still fighting hard. It's just thinking about me and you little brothers, and sent some fun and new things back."

Yin Qi nodded, pretending to be very attentive, and began to pick and play among the pile of things.I probably have a count in my heart, the notebook in Kangxi's hand is probably written by the fourteenth elder brother.

Kangxi looked at the booklet in his hand, his face could not conceal his joy, but also a little proud.Fourteenth elder brother has been in the army for more than a year, not to mention that he has achieved a lot of battles, and he has not lost his face as a father.Kangxi was naturally proud when he heard that he had won another battle a few days ago.

It's just that the fourteenth elder brother won, and the situation of passing the throne became confusing again.Even Kangxi himself, I'm afraid his heart was not unshaken.

Kangxi closed the booklet, and smiled at Yin Qi: "Your fourteenth brother won a big battle. Coincidentally, it's the Chinese New Year again, and these happy events really come one after another."

Yinqi also laughed and said: "Isn't it? Our Qing Dynasty is the prosperity of the country."

Complacent, Kangxi unfolded the fourteenth elder brother's book again and looked at it again, but slowly put away the smile on his face.Yinqi knew in his heart that he was worried that the fourteenth elder brother held military power and was highly skilled, so he would have a different heart.

If Kangxi became suspicious of the fourteenth elder brother, it would not do any harm to Yinqi.Yin Qi didn't speak, just fiddled with the things in his hands, looking very engrossed in playing.

After a while, Kangxi closed the folder again, sighed, and said to Yinqi again: "You've got it!"

Yin Qi smiled and said: "My son, let's see which one is fun and which one is not fun, and then we can leave all the fun things to my brothers and nephews. This son's heart is also kind."

Kangxi smiled and sighed: "Now you are being naughty."

Watching Yinqi playing for a while, Kangxi suddenly said: "I thought you came in to say something nice for your fourth brother."

Yinqi's heart sank, and many thoughts turned in his mind. When he raised his head, he said with annoyed expression: "Oh, why didn't Huang Ama remind Yinqi earlier? Yinqi forgot to play!"

Kangxi was drinking tea, and he choked on the water when he complained. After coughing for a long time, he finally recovered his breath. He stared at Yinqi and said, "Why? Is this still my fault?"

Holding a handkerchief, Yinqi graciously snatched Xing Nian's work, wiped the water that Kangxi spilled on his body, and flattered him, saying: "Huang Ama, how dare Yinqi blame you? It's just a moment of urgency. Don't choose your words."

Kangxi stared at him and said, "What are you in a hurry for?"

Yin Qi put down the veil and said with a smile, "I'm in a hurry to say something nice for the fourth brother."

Kangxi said: "What good things do you want to say to him?"

Yinqi pointed to the sky outside, and said: "It's almost time for lunch, and the fourth brother has been kneeling for several hours, Huang Ama still won't wake him up?"

Kangxi narrowed his eyes and said, "How long has it been? How do I remember that Yinzhen knelt there at Sishi?"

Yin Qi smiled and said: "Oh, I don't care about the hours. In short, the fourth brother has been kneeling for a long time. Huang Ama let him get up."

Kangxi deliberately shook his head and said, "No. He beat my grandson and even you. If I don't ask him to kneel for a while longer, I won't be able to get rid of my anger."

Yin Qi thought for a while, then said: "Then ask the fourth brother to come in and have a talk with Huang Ama, to solve the problem?"

Kangxi said: "I just want him to kneel."

Yin Qi said with a bitter face: "But... Huang Ama, the fourth brother is kneeling outside, and my son is also feeling uneasy. Huang Ama punished him because of Hong Zhou and his son. In my heart, Erchen..."

Kangxi slapped the table: "He dares!"

Yinqi said again: "Besides, the fourth brother is a prince, a chief official, and in charge of the House of Internal Affairs. How many people who come in and out are under the hands of the fourth brother. He is kneeling here, But I have no face, how can I subdue the people below in the future?"

Kangxi nodded and said, "It's also the same reason. Is there any more?"

Yinqi thought for a while, and then said: "Just now, my minister went to see Hongzhou, and Hongzhou also said that he begged the emperor to spare the fourth brother."

Kangxi couldn't help laughing, and said while laughing: "What reason do you have?"

Yinqi said: "Oh, the fourth brother is kneeling outside, isn't it the Huang Ama who is most distressed? I heard that he got up early this morning to work, and he didn't have a good breakfast. After working for half the morning, he knelt again After such a long time, in the cold weather, I am afraid that if I kneel down at this moment, I will faint.

Kangxi shook his head and said, "Who said I love him?"

After hearing this, Yin Qi simply sat down again, continued to play with the objects on the kang, and said in his mouth: "Even if Huang Ama doesn't love him, what else does Yin Qi say? Yin Qi doesn't love him anymore."

Kangxi couldn't help laughing, and said: "You, you have learned to retreat! It's over, you go outside and wake Yinzhen up. Tell him, it's not that I spared him, but he has You are a good brother, and you have said a lot of good things to him. Let him also accept your favor, and let you waste all this saliva, and you will benefit from it."

Yin prayed and went out.The fourth elder brother was outside, and he could vaguely hear the voice talking inside. Knowing that it was Kangxi's meaning, Yin Qi stretched out his hand to help him, and he stood up.

Then I heard Kangxi say inside: "Yinzhen, come in. Xingnian, it's time to pass on the meal. Let the fourth brother and the 23rd brother have dinner at noon."

~~~~~~~

On the surface, the fourth elder brother was punished, but in fact all the benefits were taken by him.Everyone saw that Kangxi was protecting Hongzhou, and he was able to use the excuse that the fourth elder brother beat Yinqi by mistake and punished the fourth elder brother. They must have taken a fancy to Hong Zhou.

Many people thought of Guan Shengsun coming up, but the fourth elder brother still looked at him with that cold look, everyone before and after was the same, and he didn't dare to test anything in front of him.

There are also many people who say that Elder Brother Hongxi should not be messed with, even a prince like Brother Si, whose son offended Hongxi, was also beaten to death.Later Yin Qi heard that Hong Xi had a dark face for a long time.

Since then, no one from Hong Xi's side has come to make friends with Hong Zhou.Even with Yinqi, and even Yinxi and Yinhu, everything was quiet.

And at noon that day, when Kangxi had a meal and drank tea, the words he said really reassured the fourth elder brother.

~~~~~~~

At that time, Kangxi held the cup and said slowly: "Yinzhen, do you know why I want to punish you today?"

The fourth elder brother said: "My son and minister are dull, please enlighten me."

Kangxi looked straight into the eyes of the fourth elder brother, and said: "Today I am teaching you a lesson, if you want to restrain your temper - it is not because you hit someone, but because you are irritable. I see, you hit me The tens of thousands of times my son said about quitting impatience and patience, are they all for nothing? Don’t say that you are safe in public affairs, it’s okay to be casual in private. In the future, there will be no private life for you!”

The fourth elder brother was stunned when he heard this, and stared at Kangxi in a daze.

The meaning of these words, that is - the throne will be passed on to the fourth elder brother in the future! ?

Only the heavenly family has no selfish affairs!

Not to mention that the fourth elder brother was stunned, even Yin Qi, who was sitting by the side, only felt that a thunderbolt fell from the top of his head, and he was about to drop the cup in his hand to the ground.

And the fourth elder brother can react immediately, and turn the conversation to other topics, which really makes Yin Qi not admire.

The fourth elder brother's eyes were still a little straight, and he had already said in his mouth: "What the emperor taught is that a gentleman should be careful about his independence, and my son should remember that when he is alone in the future, he should always pay attention to restraining his temper."

Kangxi nodded and said: "You go down now, I still want to be sideways for a while. Yin Qi also stop being naughty in front of him, and follow your fourth brother to go outside to find Liu Tongxun to study."

Yinqi hurriedly agreed, saluted with the fourth elder brother, and then left Qingxi Bookstore.Carefully looked up at the fourth elder brother, but there was no expression on that face, it was still ice and snow.Yin Qi couldn't help but feel scared in his heart.

It's really scary for a person to be able to hide his emotions so completely.Kangxi almost explained it just now, but the fourth elder brother listened to it with his own ears, and could still maintain a face like a coffin board, how much he wanted to suppress himself.

Yin Qi was a little worried, so depressed, is the fourth elder brother still in a normal state of mind?He has suppressed all his emotions to the minimum, can he vent them simply by reciting Buddhist scriptures and eating vegetarian food?

When Yinqi saw that his hand was holding the sleeve of the fourth elder brother, he wished to cut off his claws.

Who made your sympathy explode! ?

~~~~~~~

The fourth elder brother was a little surprised, looked down at Yin Qi, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Yin Qi swallowed, quickly thought of an excuse, put on a smile on his face, and said, "Fourth Brother, how is Thirteenth Brother? When he got sick that day, he was really scary to watch. I don't know if he is better now." Are you gone? Why haven't you seen him coming to the garden these days?"

The fourth elder brother said: "It's okay. He has a lot of illnesses in winter, and these few days are not the worst time. If he didn't go to the garden, it was because the emperor didn't call him. Speaking of that day, it was thanks to the 23rd brother Help, I thank you on behalf of my thirteenth brother."

Yinqi hurriedly said: "Oh, the fourth brother is being polite to Yinqi again. Didn't the fourth brother say last time that we are all one family. Then what can I say to thank you?"

The fourth elder brother also smiled slightly, and said: "Since this is the case, I will not talk about it. The thirteenth brother said last time that he should get better soon, and said that he will return to Mulan next time and take you and Hongli Hongzhou to fight. fox."

Yinqi laughed and said, "Hey, that's exactly what I begged Brother Thirteen last time. Did he agree? Won't you go back on your word?"

The fourth elder brother said: "The thirteenth brother speaks, not to say that he promises everything, and he will never lie to you."

Yin Qi clapped his hands together, and said with a smile, "Yin Qi likes to go to Rehe the most. It would be great if he could go every year and have someone to accompany him to race horses and shoot arrows."

The fourth elder brother looked at him and said, "Since you are willing to go, then go every year."

At this time, there was a special look in his eyes, not as calm and waveless as before, and he looked a little angry.Yin Qi only felt that this was normal.

Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard the fourth elder brother say: "If you're okay, please comfort Hong Zhou for me. The beating was severe yesterday, I'm afraid he will resent me in his heart."

Yin Qi quickly explained for Hong Zhou: "How could it be! Hong Zhou understands the painstaking efforts of the fourth brother. He also said that the fourth brother is strict with him, and it is for his own good."

The fourth elder brother chuckled lightly and said, "I'm afraid it was you who told him that."

Without waiting for Yinqi to defend, the fourth elder brother said: "Come on, you don't have to cover for him. It's not the first time I have raised a son. They are afraid of me like a tiger behind their backs. Maybe I don't know?"

Yinqi touched his nose, stopped talking about those excuses, and just smiled: "The fourth brother is more serious. Naturally, those children are afraid. Not to mention Hongli Hongzhou, the younger brothers are also a little timid."

The fourth elder brother smiled and said, "Then why aren't you afraid of me?"

Yin Qi hurriedly said: "Of course I'm also afraid..."

After saying it, I felt it was inappropriate, and said again: "I'm not afraid of the fourth brother... just... I'm afraid of being reprimanded by the fourth brother..."

The fourth elder brother was amused by him on the contrary, and said: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Some people are afraid of me. Is it possible that I still feel happy? After all, there is a younger brother who is not afraid of me, and I won't reprimand you I'll save you from being afraid of me."
