Breeze

When the sixteenth elder brother walked quickly from the front of the Zunyi Gate, he saw Yinqi leading a dull-looking little eunuch to the Yangxin Gate, so he hurriedly stopped him and raised his voice: " Yinqi! You stop for a while, Brother Sixteen will ask you something!"

It was freezing cold in winter, and it snowed all night last night, and now there is a piece of white everywhere.Due to time constraints, the maidservants who got up early to clean up cleared the way except for the place to go, and the rest of the place has not been tidied up, leaving it as it was when the snow stopped this morning.

The sixteenth elder brother was anxious to get to Yinqi's side, so he didn't walk on, and hurriedly stepped over from the snow, staining a lot of snow on his boots.Yin Qi hurriedly greeted him and said, "Morning sixteenth brother! Pay attention to your feet."

Arriving in front of Yinqi, Elder Sixteen stomped vigorously to get the snow off his feet, and asked, "Are you going to the emperor's side?"

Yinqi nodded, and said: "Yes, the emperor told me that if the Shang's study room is not open, I have to go to his place to study."

Brother Sixteen said: "Then when will you come out today?"

Yinqi was a little puzzled, looked at Elder Sixteen and said, "That's not necessarily the case. Sometimes the emperor thinks I'm noisy when he just asks me a few words, so he asks me to study outside, or asks me to go back by myself, and I can do it too." I came out. Sometimes I let him stand in front of him and told him to watch, then I couldn’t get out. In this way, Brother Sixteen, when you see whether Zhang Tingyu goes in or not, you will know that I will not come out. If you see when he goes in, I will come out in a while."

Elder Sixteen rubbed his hands together, and said: "This is inconvenient... Let me tell you something, just now I inquired with the guards at Zhengyang Gate, the Great General Wang came in to see the Emperor, do you know ?”

Yinqi thought for a while, and said: "Yesterday I heard that the emperor was going to summon him, but I didn't see anyone else today. Why, Brother Sixteen provoked Brother Fourteen? But is it important?"

Elder Sixteen whispered: "Yaomo is a bit uncomfortable, but I didn't ask you for that. What I want to ask you is that these days the Emperor has mentioned... whether Elder Fourteen is in good health or not?" Son?"

Yinqi said solemnly: "Although Brother Sixteen is also my brother, you can't ask me about such things. This is the emperor's words. I am grateful to the emperor's love and study by his side. How can I spread his words. "

Brother Sixteen sneered, patted Yinqi on the shoulder and said, "Last time you were at Old Seventeen's place, you also pretended to be a serious person for a long time. What are you pretending to do with your brother? Say it quickly!"

Yinqi also laughed, thought for a while, and said: "This time you really asked the wrong person, I really can't say anything. And Brother Sixteen, you don't know, what did I say last time?" That's not right, it made the emperor taboo. In short, the emperor doesn't mention the fourteenth elder brother to me at all. Since the emperor doesn't say anything, I, as a servant and servant, naturally dare not ask rashly. But let me see, the Northwest President Someone needs to hold the line, and the Great General is majestic and famous..."

Elder Sixteen reached out and patted Yin Qi's head, and said with a smile, "Good 23! You didn't say anything! Well, with your words, I know what to do later. "

Yinqi was also a little curious, so he asked, "What are you talking about? What are you talking about? Ask this again."

Elder Sixteen whispered: "I am not in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs? The Emperor asked me to ask the imperial physicians to see how the 'illness' of Elder Fourteen is. Naturally, I did not say it face to face. It's completely untrue. The emperor can easily believe it if he asks it in private. But I don't know how to answer it, so that I can be honest."

Yinqi was immediately happy, and said with a smile: "Brother Sixteen, this is really a good job! My brother congratulates you first."

Elder Sixteen reached out and patted him on the head, and scolded with a smile: "You have no heart! Your brother always loves you so much, and now you have accepted such a thankless job. You don't know how to help him, and you are still here Schadenfreude! I'll settle accounts with you when I get back, and see who will love you in the future!"

~~~~~~~

The pulse case was found out, and the imperial physicians dared not say that Elder Fourteen was not ill. He pretended, but he dared not deceive the emperor even more, so he could only vaguely say that he was physically weak and weak inside.In private, the sixteenth elder brother didn't say that the fourteenth elder brother was pretending to be sick, but gave Kangxi the fourteenth elder brother's prescription and pulse record. After Kangxi read it himself, his face was gloomy for a long time.

But the most important thing is that the fourteenth elder brother pretended to be sick and didn't pretend to be professional. He still socialized everywhere in the capital full of vigor all day long, showing his prestige.But whenever he meets someone who doesn't get along with him, he must have a good argument with the other party, so as to make up for the fact that he has not been in the capital most of the time in the past few years and has not had the trouble of making trouble for others.

For example, the fourth elder brother, his face has not been a coffin board for a long time, but a coffin board painted black.

Everyone in the capital knew about such a situation, how could Kangxi not know that Elder Fourteen was just pretending to be sick.At the moment, he was angry again, but he couldn't get angry, and his face didn't look good.Seeing Elder Fourteen, I became more and more impatient, and I couldn't wait to meet him so I asked him when he would go back to the Northwest District.

In March, Elder Fourteen's "illness" was still not good. Kangxi really couldn't bear it anymore and couldn't let him stay in the capital.So he told him to go to the court even when he was sick, and mentioned the matter of the northwest in front of many people.Kangxi only said that there is no one in the northwest now, and asked Brother Fourteen what he thought, did he think about it, and what should he do.

The implication is naturally that he wants Brother Fourteen to go back to the northwest.

It's just that at this time, how can the fourteenth elder brother be in the same heart as Kangxi and his son?He must do it against him.

On that day, Yin Qi heard that the Great General Wang fainted on the spot when he was summoned by the emperor to discuss matters in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Yin Qi couldn't help but didn't swallow a sip of tea, and coughed for a long time because of choking.After finally coughing, I couldn't help it, and laughed out loud while covering my stomach.

faint.

If the third elder brother fainted in front of Kangxi, it was probably because he was fat, had thick blood fat, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and was at risk of stroke, which is believable.

If the fourth elder brother fainted in front of Kangxi, it might be because he went to pray to Buddha, fasted and abused himself again. He was hungry and had hypoglycemia, or he lacked sleep due to office work. It is believable.

If Fifth Prince fainted in front of Kangxi, it might be the root cause of his illness since the Queen Mother passed away that year, and his body would be weak in winter, which is believable.

If Seventh Brother fainted in front of Kangxi, it was probably because he fell off his horse a few days ago, and his already bad legs and feet symptoms became more serious, which is believable.

If the eighth elder brother fainted in front of Kangxi, it must be because he has been in poor health for the past few years. In the 54th year of Kangxi, he was almost sick, which is credible.

if……

But the fourteenth elder brother fainted—who would believe that a man who was alive and well, and who brought several eight-banner relatives out of the city the day before to hunt and gallop Haidongqing, could faint in front of the emperor today?It was still when the emperor asked about his "illness".

Brother Fourteen's move is really a bad move.

I'm afraid that this time, Kangxi will completely dislike Brother Fourteen.

The joy of successfully hosting the Thousand Seniors Banquet in the first month is gone now, and Kangxi's gloomy face looks scary.However, the culprit was not around, and Yinqi was beside Kangxi, so he didn't dare to speak at all, wishing to stick it on the wall and pretend that he was a mural, or hide in the corner and pretend that he didn't exist.

It was a rare trip to the harem, but Kangxi made a special trip to vent his anger.

Arriving at Yonghe Palace, without waiting for Concubine De to pay her respects, without saying a word, she directly warned Concubine De.Concubine Yi, who heard the news and came to share her favor, didn't look good either, and scolded her for Brother Jiu's matter.In the end, it was only under the consolation of the secret concubine that Kangxi calmed down, and Kangxi went to the Jianfu Palace of the secret concubine to have dinner, and then took the people back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

All the tossing made the harem go crazy.The respectable concubines are all ashamed.

Brother Sixteen heard about it, but he couldn't stop smiling from ear to ear.He didn't say he was happy for his mother-in-law, he just said that the next unlucky one would be Elder Fourteen.Yinqi and Hong Zhou looked at him with blank eyes, and they slammed him several times before they kicked him out of Yinqi's yard, and let him go back to his own yard to chat with his Fujin.

After sending Elder Sixteen out, Hong Zhou couldn't help but said, "Isn't it that the fourteenth son whipped him with a horsewhip, and he can hold grudges up to now. Uncle Sixteen is also a small-minded man."

Yin Qi smiled and squinted at him, and said, "Is it possible that you have achieved greatness in your mind?"

He thought to himself, this Hong Zhou has the same temperament as his old man, now that he is familiar with him, he is a domineering, unreasonable, moody, irritable, possessive, possessive, strong desire to control, and very small-minded person in front of you.

Hong Zhou was a little unconvinced, Yin Qi smiled and said: "Come on, don't talk about these things, you can't forget, we still have business to do."

The two of them naturally knew what each other was talking about. Hong Zhou curled his lips, got up and asked Lin Qing to come in to change his clothes, and said, "Uncle 23 is becoming more and more like an uncle. A few years ago, he didn't That's how you teach me."

Yin Qi only smiled but didn't answer. When Hong Xiang took the things he had prepared earlier, he stretched out his hand to take them and said with a smile: "You don't know the rules any more. You didn't dare to do this a few years ago." Talk to me casually!"

Hong Zhou pulled the belt in Lin Qing's hand over, and jumped in front of Yin Qi, wrapped his arms around his shoulders, not letting him move, and said with a playful smile: "I don't know the rules, this is not what Uncle 23 is used to. .”

Yin Qi laughed angrily, and said, "You have reason!"

~~~~~~~

It took more than a month of hard work to make such a music box, which finally became a magic weapon to save the fourteenth brother.Yin Qi looked at the scars on his fingers scratched by the iron sheet and wire, wishing that he hadn't come to the Hall of Mental Cultivation today, wishing that he had never made a music box.

Hong Zhou was standing beside him, with his head down, he couldn't see the expression on his face.It's just that even if he doesn't look at him, Yin Qi knows that this kid must be even more depressed.The disagreement between his father and the fourteenth elder brother is much deeper than Yin Qi's dislike for the fourteenth elder brother.

Kangxi touched Yinqi's head, sighed for his filial piety and dexterity, and praised Hongzhou for his intelligence, then glared at Brother Fourteen and said, "You are such an adult, why not Yinqi is a child who is filial and sensible! You just listened to the bad idea your mother gave you; why didn't you think that you would suddenly fall to the ground, how anxious is your old Ama! I think you should go back and copy the filial piety scriptures several times! Or should I send you a few gentlemen to teach you the truth again!?"

The fourteenth elder brother knelt on the ground, resting his head on the deep red carpet of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, not daring to move.After hearing Kangxi's reprimand, he dared to whisper: "Father...then... don't do anything about Erniang! It's my son who came up with the idea..."

Before he finished speaking, Kangxi shouted: "Shut up! Can you be more unfilial? You are really old enough to dare to bully the emperor! Concubine De has already admitted it, and you still cover it up for her!" No? You think I don't know your temperament, if you can come up with such an idea, you won't be Yinzhen!"

Indeed, a person as proud as the fourteenth elder brother would rather die in the northwest than pretend to be sick and stay in the capital, let alone perform the trick of fainting in front of everyone.At the beginning, he was able to claim his illness and request to return to Beijing, which was probably the bottom line of his dignity.

Presumably the fainting last time was forced by Concubine De.Apart from Kangxi, the fourteenth elder brother listened to Concubine De the most.The fourteenth elder brother is not the fourth elder brother, but the most filial and respectful concubine De.If Concubine De used her tears to attack, he might not be able to hold back.

Kangxi babbled and scolded the fourteenth elder brother for his soft ears, being controlled by the harem, capricious, bold and bullying the emperor, etc. The more he scolded, the more serious he was, until the fourteenth elder brother dared not raise his head.

Only then did Kangxi seem to notice that Yinqi and Hongzhou were still standing on one side, stopped resentfully, waved his hand, and said, "I have Yinqi begging for you today, so I will spare you once. Going to Chengde, you should pack up and go back to the army in April. In the northwest, you have spent so much effort to make it peaceful. Now that you are thousands of miles away, you can rest assured!?"

Fourteenth elder brother looked up at Kangxi cautiously, feeling that he had calmed down now.Somehow, he also felt that Kangxi would have to live for many years if he could still yell at him so arrogantly. Even if he went back to the northwest, it wouldn't hinder him.Then he kowtowed honestly and said: "My son complies with the order. Thank you father and emperor for your forgiveness."

He kowtowed, but Kangxi didn't cry out, so he turned his eyes to the music box on the side table.Just halfway through the game, it was said that the fourteenth elder brother was coming, and Kangxi called in angrily, and then there was a scolding meal.At this moment, he also vented his anger. Seeing that the fourteenth elder brother was being honest, he remembered that he hadn't finished playing with the new thing just now, and immediately turned around and picked it up.

Yinqi looked at Kangxi's appearance and felt helpless.Now Kangxi is becoming more and more childish, with good and bad temper.If it is not involved in political affairs, it is always better to be coaxed.Even if Yinqi is his son, he should always let him and coax him.
