Breeze

The fourth elder brother had a tendency to be sick and weak, but he just came back, and Hongshi said that kind of stupid thing to anger him, not to mention that he fainted from anger, and it is not uncommon for him to vomit blood on the spot.

Yinqi said: "The strange thing is that I didn't see the prince entering the palace today. It turned out that he was sick. Come on, I will go home with you tomorrow, and I will go to see the prince. By the way, I will take you home too." , bring back the medicinal ingredients I just mentioned to your mother. She also needs to replenish them as soon as possible, so that when she gets older, she will have fewer problems in the future."

Hong Zhou nodded, and said with a smile: "Understood. It's just that Uncle 23 has to be careful. The prince has taught me and Hongli a lesson, and the anger is still there. Seeing you, I have to teach you a lesson."

Yinqi pinched his arm while smiling, and said: "You really have no rules! You dare to gloat at me! Wait until tomorrow to see if I won't complain to the prince!"

~~~~~~~

Hongshi couldn't escape a good lesson because he made the fourth elder brother dizzy.According to Hong Zhou, when the fourth elder brother was still weak and lying on the bed, the thirteenth elder brother was anxious and kicked him several times to relieve his anger.

When the fourth elder brother was able to sit up with his pillow, he was beaten with a stick.That was a real fight, not like when the fourth elder brother beat Hong Zhou back then, with dozens of sticks, Hong Shi lost half of his life.

When Yinqi went to visit Prince Yong's mansion, he didn't see Hongshi, so he didn't know how injured he was.However, on the evening of the first day of the winter solstice, Hongshi was not seen at the family banquet of the Qianqing Palace. It can be seen that he was seriously injured and couldn't get up yet.Otherwise, no matter how much the fourth elder brother dislikes him, he is still the eldest son of the fourth elder brother, and he will always be allowed to show his face at the family banquet.

Not only was it a family banquet for the winter solstice, but it was also a family banquet for New Year's Eve, and the fourth elder brother didn't let Hongshi come out.This is really disgusting with Hongshi, and really doesn't regard him as his son.Fourth elder brother Xu is really heartbroken.

Seeing Hongli follow the fourth elder brother into the gate of Qianqing Palace, Hongzhou stood beside Yinqi and sighed.

Yin Qi raised his eyes and glanced at him, and said, "Why, I didn't know that you missed Brother San so much."

Hong Zhou shook his head slightly, and said, "I didn't sigh because of the third brother. Besides, the third brother is always better than Hongli."

There are so many people with mixed eyes at the moment, and they are surrounded by ears and eyes, so they dare not say anything.Seeing the fourth elder brother coming in, the two hurried over to greet him.Although Hongzhou lived in Prince Yong's mansion for the past few days, he handed over a sign to enter the palace early in the morning saying that he was escorting him, and he did not follow the fourth elder brother into the palace, so he naturally wanted to go over to greet him now.

But before they came to the front, a few more people came in from the gate of the palace.The fourteenth elder brother walked in with his two sons, Hongchun Hongming, and when he saw the fourth elder brother, he went straight to him.

The two of them stood facing each other, a foot away from each other, they both looked at each other expressionlessly, and there was almost no thunder and lightning at the intersection of their eyes.

Now Yinqi and Hongzhou dare not go any further.At this time, the fourteenth elder brother and the fourth elder brother are clearly a sign that they are going to quarrel, so whoever is going to intervene now.It would be silly to be between the two of them.

But I heard someone beside me saying: "These two people just came out of Yonghe Palace again."

Yinqi raised his head and saw Brother Sixteen standing beside him, so he hurriedly said, "Brother Sixteen, hello, please greet Brother Sixteen. I didn't see Brother Sixteen just now, my brother was rude."

Elder Sixteen waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's irrelevant. I just saw you just now because I was just watching the fun."

Just when they said these two sentences, the two people who looked at each other became even more tense.The fourteenth elder brother was already blushing, the fourth elder brother still had a coffin face, but the anger in his eyes could not be suppressed.

Although the two of them didn't speak a word, it was true that silence speaks louder than words at this time.If there is a real quarrel later, maybe there is not such a tense atmosphere.

After a long confrontation, Elder Fourteen just opened his mouth and called "Fourth", and two more people walked in outside.The third elder brother, Prince Cheng Yinzhi, took his eldest son Hongsheng to the side of the fourteenth elder brother, reached out and patted the fourteenth elder brother on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Old fourteen, why are you so rude?" Understand the rules! You don’t even greet your fourth brother when you see him, so why call him the fourth brother!”

His words seemed to be admonishing the fourteenth elder brother, but no matter how he heard it, he was here to add trouble to the fourth elder brother.And with the meaning of provocation, why can't the fourteenth elder brother hear it.

However, the fourteenth elder brother also pushed the boat with the current, so he snorted, and gave a carefree bow to the fourth elder brother, and said: "The old fourteen has met Prince Yong! Please greet Prince Yong!"

The fourth elder brother's expression became even uglier immediately, he ignored him, glared at him and headed towards his seat.Brother Fourteen snorted coldly at his back, then turned to deal with the people who surrounded him and fawned on him.

After watching the excitement, Elder Sixteen patted Yinqi on the shoulder and said, "Let's go, this year your elder brother arranged the family banquet, and it was arranged for you to sit at the same table with elder brother, and asked Hong Zhou to go find him, Ama. "

When Hong Zhou reluctantly left, the sixteenth elder brother took Yin Qi to sit down, and then said: "On the way, your brother and I suffered once, and this really has to happen every year."

Yin Qi knew that what he was talking about was the tit-for-tat confrontation between the fourth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother, and he sighed after thinking about it, and said: "There is only one time... If it is only one time, thank God."

Elder Sixteen laughed and said: "Anyway, we can't see it at those times, so we can pretend that he didn't have it. It's just Empress Defei..."

After he said those few words, he immediately closed his mouth, hid it with a haha, and said with a smile: "Look, it's bustling as soon as Duke Dun arrives."

As soon as the tenth elder brother entered the palace gate, he yelled at the eighth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother and others in a loud voice, without shyness at all.But since he was talking about family banquets, he did exactly what Kangxi wanted. It looked festive and lively, and it also seemed that the brothers were close.

So when Kangxi came in, he saw the tenth brother laughing loudly and telling the fourteenth brother dirty jokes in the military camp, but he just curled his lips and smiled, not angry.

Seeing Kangxi coming in, even the tenth elder brother gradually fell silent, all the princes and relatives saluted together, Kangxi ascended to his seat, and in the concubine's seat over there, they also took their own seats, so everyone dared to sit down one by one.

Then there is a toast, and a toast to Kangxi according to the year Geng.Kangxi seems to be in a good mood. After all, the next day will be the 61st year of Kangxi. From ancient times to the present, he is the first emperor who can extend a year name for more than 60 years.

Kangxi was in a good mood, and everyone relaxed a little.Because there were not so many rules for family banquets, after the toasts were over, the Qianqing Palace became lively again.

It's just that Kangxi was faintly excluded from the excitement. After all, he was an emperor, even a family, and no one dared to go up and joke with him.Seeing Kangxi sitting on it alone, Yinqi felt a little sad.

Although Kangxi still maintains a smile on his face at this time, he probably feels lonely, and feels even more lonely in such a bustling environment, and thinks something like "the excitement is theirs, and I have nothing".

The sixteenth elder brother drank a glass of wine with his neck up, and pushed Yinqi with his elbow, and said with a smile: "Why, are you greedy looking at the dishes on the emperor's table? They are all the same. If you want to eat, elder brother told Yushan The room will be tidied up for you."

Yinqi hurriedly looked back, and said: "How could it be. My brother is not so unpromising. But seeing the emperor is happy today, and my son is also happy."

Brother Sixteen nodded and said with a smile: "Why are you unhappy? Next year will be the 61st year of Kangxi. The emperor has been in power for so many years. The Qing Dynasty is clean, the sea is clean, and the people praise it. All directions come to court. It is the emperor's mind. I'm afraid I can't help but feel happy. Those of us are naturally happy too."

Yin Qi responded with a smile, but his eyes still looked at Kangxi involuntarily.I felt a little pity for the old man in my heart.

Brother Sixteen still had a smile on his face, but approached Yinqi's ear, and said in a low and stern voice, "Don't think about it! This is the Qianqing Palace! How many people are looking at it! Don't give it to you. You are asking for trouble!"

Hearing his cold voice, Yin Qi's heart tightened suddenly, only then did he realize that he had really overstepped.

Who is Kangxi, how can he be sympathetic?

Even if I feel uncomfortable for Kangxi in my heart, I can't show the slightest bit on my face!

Yinqi hurriedly put on a smile, and said to Elder Sixteen, "Yin Qi respects Elder Sixteen for a cup, thank you Elder Sixteen for the reminder!"

~~~~~~~

In the middle of the banquet, Kangxi left.But not long after Kangxi left, Li Dequan turned around and came back quietly from behind the maids holding basins and jugs, and whispered to Yinqi, "Master 23, the emperor is calling you over."

Yin Qi put down his chopsticks, nodded to Elder Sixteen, asked him to take cover, and followed Li Dequan out carefully from behind him.After leaving the palace gate, Yin Qi asked in a low voice: "Li Wenda, do you know what the emperor asked me to do?"

He and Li Dequan are considered old friends, and they don't need to be around when asking these questions. Li Dequan also replied bluntly: "The emperor felt that there was a lot of trouble at the banquet, and he wanted to talk to someone when he was alone, so he asked the servant to invite 23." Father go."

Yin Qi nodded, and gave Su Yao who was following him a look, and Su Yao took out a purse from his arms.Although there are palace lanterns shining outside, it will be dark at night, but you can see clearly that there are several finger-sized, round oriental pearls on the purse alone, which shine in front of the light and shine one by one.Yin Qi took the purse and handed it to Li Dequan.

Li De shrank all his hands, but Yin Qi grabbed his hand, forced to stuff the purse over, and said with a smile: "This is not a reward, it is a little favor from me for Li Wenda, Li Wenda can take it at ease, Even if the emperor asks, we are aboveboard. Li Wenda has been with the emperor for decades, and has always been loyal and takes care of the emperor. I am a son, and sometimes I am not as careful as Li Wenda takes care of the emperor. This is me Thank you Li Wenda, it can be regarded as an annual gift to Li Wenda."

Seeing Yinqi's sincere expression, Li Dequan hesitated for a moment.Holding the purse lightly, there must be a bank note in it.After thinking for a while, he still put the purse into his arms, put away the usual smile on his face, and said: "Master 23 is filial to the emperor, slaves have always known. This reward, slaves accepted. It's just that slaves don't dare to be thanked by the 23rd Lord. Serving the emperor is a blessing for slaves, so there is no need for brothers to thank you."

Yinqi laughed and said, "It's just that Li Adada is so loyal to follow the emperor. Although we sons can't serve day and night, we dare to rest assured. Otherwise, we really dare not leave temporarily."

The Hall of Mental Cultivation is not far from the Qianqing Palace, and you will arrive as soon as you talk.Yinqi stood at the entrance of the hall for a while, and heard a voice calling in from inside, so he asked Su Yao to stay outside and walked in by himself.

Kangxi drank a few glasses of wine, his face was slightly flushed, but he seemed to be fine.It's just that the person is a little listless, leaning on the pillow, with half-closed eyes, talking to Wei Zhu who is standing on the kang.

When Yin prayed for An to salute, Kangxi called out, but he looked more energetic.So he asked Wei Zhu to give Yinqi a small scorpion and told him to sit where he could reach it.

After Yinqi sat down, he beat Kangxi's legs consciously and obediently.

Kangxi smiled and sighed: "You, I think it's too much to be obedient. This is the work of slaves, and you have started to get started. Don't you think you have lost your identity?"

Yinqi raised his head and smiled and said: "My son is not only Huang Ama's son, just let Huang Ama spoil him. I also remember that I am Huang Ama's slave, so I should always be considerate of Huang Ama Well. Besides, this is what a son should do. It was only because of the slaves who served him that he made his son lazy. Now the son is also more diligent and filial."

Kangxi narrowed his eyes and looked at Yinqi with a smile.Although Yinqi said that the technique of beating and massaging his legs was not as proficient as the maids and eunuchs who specially served him, and he also felt that his hands were weak, but after all, it was his son who pinched it with his own hands, so how could it be the same as those eunuchs and eunuchs.At this time, Kangxi was very useful.Stretching out a finger to point a few inches above the knee, said: "Here, use a little strength."

While enjoying his son's filial piety, Kangxi casually chatted with Yinqi.He was already a little mentally weak, and after a while, his head was shaking, and he was half asleep and half awake.

Yinqi deliberately lowered his voice, and rubbed the acupoints on his feet and legs that promote sleep. He said a few more words, and when he asked him again, he couldn't hear Kangxi's reply.

Li Dequan leaned over carefully to have a look, and gestured to Yin Qi.Yinqi stood up quietly and followed Li Dequan out.

There was a sudden cold outside the palace gate, and Yinqi just lost his drowsiness. Li Dequan laughed and said, "Master 23's filial piety cannot be compared to his meticulous service. Today is also thanks to 23 Lord, the emperor came back from the banquet, his face looked a little ugly, and he became happy after seeing Master 23. And it has been several days, the emperor always sleeps restlessly at night, but fell asleep today. The servants are also happy to see it."

Yin Qi smiled, and said: "Let's not stay outside too long, maybe the emperor will need some tea and water later. Seeing that the emperor is sleeping soundly later, Li Wenda will also get me a couch outside. The emperor I didn't tell you to leave, and it's New Year's Eve again, so I'll stay here for the whole night, which can be regarded as watching the new year for the emperor. If Li Wenda doesn't fall asleep, he can also talk to me."
