Breeze

Seeing Kangxi playing with the music box, Yinqi felt helpless.

Now that Kangxi is getting older, he is becoming more and more childish, with good and bad tempers.But when he is not involved in political affairs, he is a bit willful, and he always needs to be coaxed.Even if Yinqi is a son, he should always let him and coax him.

Sometimes facing Kangxi like this is really tiring, Yinqi thought, no wonder Mibi is a middle-aged woman who is not necessarily beautiful in appearance, but she is still favored in recent years. decline.Perhaps it is because she has given birth to three sons and knows how to coax children.

The fourteenth elder brother looked at Kangxi eagerly, waiting for him to call out, but Kangxi looked at Yinqi with the simple music box, and said: "You just told me, whichever button you turn, it will ring? Really? I'm old, it's only been a while, I forgot again!"

Yin Qi didn't answer, but looked at Fourteenth Brother, and said with a wry smile: "Father, let Fourteenth get up first, he has been kneeling for a long time. He is a great general, and his knees are broken." It's amazing. How will you lead the army to fight in the future? I'm afraid this skill will be compromised."

Kangxi glanced at Brother Fourteen, snorted, and said, "Get up."

Brother Fourteen got up, stood aside and watched Kangxi fiddle with the music box back and forth, and was about to take it apart to have a look, feeling a little at a loss.He looked at Yinqi again, but Yinqi didn't dare to speak for him this time.

After waiting for Brother Fourteen for quite a while, Kangxi snorted and said, "What are you still standing here for? Are you waiting for me to reward you? There are two big-eared melon seeds I want to give you! Get out of here go out!"

The fourteenth elder brother, of course, saluted quickly as if he was listening to Lun's voice, and then withdrew.

When the fourteenth elder brother went out, Kangxi put the thing in his hand on the table in a somewhat dispirited manner, and said: "Oh, this thing is troublesome, and the teeth hurt one by one. Zhen My eyes are dazzled, I can’t see what’s inside.”

Yin Qi smiled and said: "It's just a small thing. Those foreigners also paid tribute in the past, but their boxes can't sing our Qing songs, but they are all the same thing. It's nothing rare. Yin Qi Qi has heard that my father did a lot of research on machinery back then, such a small singing box is nothing."

At this time, Yinqi could also see that the reason why Kangxi Real Estate was very interested in the music box was to put the fourteenth elder brother aside and show him color.At this time, he was not interested, so Yinqi stopped talking, but talked about the reconstruction of Changchun Garden along the mechanical matter.

After a few words, Kangxi suddenly said: "Hongzhou, go ahead and see if Yinzhen is there. If he is, tell him to go to the household department and get the account book. I have something to ask him."

Hong Zhou didn't know what his sudden words meant, and seeing that the palace gate was about to release the key, how could the fourth elder brother wait in the palace to see him?Furthermore, even if he finds the fourth elder brother, the fourth elder brother will not be able to come back when he goes to the household department.It's just that he didn't dare to question Kangxi's meaning, so he responded, and honestly left the Hall of Mental Cultivation to find the fourth elder brother.

Kangxi sent Wei Zhu to the imperial dining room to watch tonight's soup, and Yin Qi saw that there were only Kangxi, him, and Li Dequan left in the West Nuan Pavilion of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

If Kangxi killed him here, Li Dequan would only help to abandon the corpse, and would never help him escape.

Looking at Kangxi's eyes was really scary, Yin Qi didn't dare to speak, but just lowered his head, feeling that Kangxi's gaze was as sharp as a needle on his back.This is called Rumang on the back, and I really experienced it for a while.

After an unknown period of time, it was dark outside, but only a few candles were lit in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, which was not at all brightly lit as usual.Li Dequan didn't move, and didn't call for anyone to light the lamp, but just stood aside, watching Yinqi with Kangxi.

It wasn't until Yinqi could hardly stand the atmosphere anymore, and Kangxi's gaze was so substantial that his back was bent, that he finally heard Kangxi's voice.

~~~~~~~

Kangxi still stared at Yinqi, and asked in a deep voice: "Yinqi, haven't you been on good terms with the fourth child? Why are you helping the fourth child today?"

Looking at Kangxi's expression, it didn't look like he was angry, but the question he asked was really scary.Yin Qi could hardly hold back the trembling on his body, forced himself to calm down, and then said with a smile: "Whether it's the fourth brother or the fourteenth brother, they are all Yin Qi's elder brothers. Yin Qi can't see his elder brother being reprimanded by his father." , without saying a word."

Kangxi smiled slightly, and said: "Aren't you afraid that the fourth child will find out and blame you in his heart? He has a very narrow mind."

Yin Qi thought for a while, but still put away that innocent face.Anyway, Kangxi knew what his nature was like, usually he acted like a coquettish, foolish and foolish person, to amuse Kangxi, and they didn't care whether it was an act or not.If he still pretends to be a child at this moment, he will really anger Kangxi.

He also smiled slightly at Kangxi, and said: "Fourth brother is just jealous, he can't rub the sand in his eyes, and he doesn't have such a narrow mind, he won't complain or anything."

As expected, the coldness in Kangxi's eyes receded a bit, leaning back against the pillow, and said indifferently: "You are being honest now. I thought you would come up with some excuse, or get away with it vaguely."

Yinqi looked at Kangxi, then knelt on the ground, and said with a wry smile: "Father, since the last time my father warned my son, my son knew what should be done and what should not be done. What happened in the past... ...It was because I was young and ignorant that I didn't understand my father's painstaking efforts, and didn't know how to be considerate of my father's love, so I dared to do such deceitful acts."

He raised his face to look at Kangxi, with tears in his eyes, and said: "It's just that since then, I have known that I was wrong. That time I dared to punish myself and made my father worry, and I really understood what I shouldn't do. This time Over the past few years, my son did not dare to say that there was no deceit, but he dared to say that everything that my son has thought about and told his father is absolutely true!"

The child's voice echoed in the empty hall for a while before dissipating. Yinqi took a breath, suppressed the original choked voice, and said: "I dare not lie to my father about today's matter. My son and Prince Yong With the fourteenth son, except for the friendship between brothers, there is not much in private."

Kangxi looked at Yinqi earnestly, and Yinqi had no fear, and only looked at him with clear eyes.After a while, Kangxi said: "You said that you and the old fourteen have nothing to do with each other, and you seem to be similar. I believe you too. But in the past two years, you have been taught by Yinzhen, and you went in and out with Hongzhou, often If you are going to his house, how dare you say that you have nothing to do with Yinzhen?"

Yin Qi said in a loud voice: "I am grateful for being taught by Prince Yong, and I have a deep friendship with Hong Zhou when I study together. But these bonds of affection are just blood and family ties, nothing else. I dare to call Prince Yong The fourth brother, just regard him as the fourth brother, as the son of the father. The reason why he was close to Hong Zhou was because he was the son of the fourth brother, the grandson of the father, and the nephew of the son. It’s because I’ve been with him for a long time, so I naturally have some friendship.”

Kangxi tilted his head slightly, looked at Yinqi, and said: "You say that, but you are not afraid that I will say that you are merciless and ungrateful?"

Yinqi said: "The fourth brother taught my son carefully. This is kindness. Hongzhou and Erchen have both the friendship of uncle and nephew, and the friendship of classmates. These ministers keep it in mind and repay it with their hearts. It's just that In my son's heart, these personal relationships are nothing more than family affection. Since it is family love, how can it surpass the son's affection for the father. If you want to talk about family affection, the father is the person closest to the son's blood."

Kangxi had a half-smile on his face, and said: "You mean that you are close to Yinzhen and friendly with Hongzhou, all because of me?"

Yinqi smiled slightly, and then said: "But it's not pure. But if it wasn't because of the father, the son and the fourth brother are not brothers anymore, how could there be the close friendship now. It's just after getting acquainted with each other Erchen feels that the fourth brother has the demeanor of a big brother, and has a rare pure, kind and upright temperament. Also, Erchen and Hong Zhou sit together to study, and they get closer to the fourth brother day by day.

"As for Hong Zhou... Speaking of the beginning, it was the emperor who called him into the palace, so that I could get acquainted with him. But after that, I went in and out with him every day, read books together, and sat up and down together. Naturally, the relationship was different. Others. He treats my son sincerely, and my son naturally treats him sincerely."

After hearing this, Kangxi put away his weird expression of wanting to smile, and said: "Then you know that the fourth and the fourteenth are at odds, why do you want to speak for the fourteenth today? Since you and the fourth If you get close, you shouldn't think about helping the old fourteen. You helped the old fourteen, but the old four is not happy. When you go back to Hongzhou, you must learn to speak to him. Aren't you making things difficult for Yinzhen?"

Yinqi looked at Kangxi and said: "At that time, my son just remembered that when he was reprimanded by his father, the expression on his father's face was more painful than Yinqi's. He knew that parents in this world punished their sons. It's all hurting my son's body and my own heart. At that time, my minister thought about doing his best, and didn't want to see his father and emperor suffer for his son's heart.

"Brother Fourteen is proud and stubborn, and everyone knows it. When his father punished him, he felt that he was wrong, and it was difficult to admit his mistake. In the end, he severely punished Brother Fourteen, and it was still the emperor who felt the most uncomfortable. The son excused a few words for the fourteenth brother, and also taught him to admit his mistake, so that the father should be less angry, this is not a happy thing for everyone."

Looking at Kangxi again, Yinqi continued: "The fourth brother doesn't like the fourteenth brother, and the minister here also knows. It's just that this has nothing to do with the minister. At that time, the minister did not think of this. The minister really didn't like it. To be honest, because of the fourteenth brother's arrogance, the son-in-law is not very close and respectful to his elder brother. It's just what I thought in my heart just now, it's not anyone's personal enmity or friendship, the most important thing is my father."

After he finished speaking, after a while, I heard Kangxi take a deep breath, and then saw him sitting up straight.Yinqi was very nervous in his heart, but his face was calm, and he only looked at Kangxi with two eyes, calm and calm.

Kangxi sighed suddenly, and said: "I have lived for so many years, from the 18th year of Shunzhi to the present, it has been 62 years, and I have raised more than 30 sons. Up to now, you are the only one, how dare you Tell me the truth."

His expression was very lonely, but he smiled suddenly, and said: "But think about it again, I am not that lonely. Fortunately, fortunately, there is also my old 23, who dares to talk to me... ..."

Yin Qi looked at the wrinkles in the corners of his eyes, but the way he smiled made people feel cold and lonely, but that kind of joy was real.Yinqi breathed a sigh of relief, but felt extremely guilty.I couldn't help but feel sore in my eyes, as if something was blocked in my throat, I couldn't swallow it, but I couldn't spit it out either.

But he can't tell Kangxi - in fact, I am also lying to you.

~~~~~~~

A few days later, when Kangxi met at court, Yinqi actually asked Yinqi to stand beside him and listen.Yinqi really didn't dare to stand beside Kangxi's throne, but Kangxi just held his hand, and Yinqi didn't dare to shake it off, so he just stood there in a daze.

Sure enough, he saw many ministers and workers frowning at him, and Yin Qi didn't even dare to raise his head, so he couldn't hear what they were saying.After finally getting through to Sanchao, Yin Qi heaved a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, this is just a small court meeting. If it is a serious court meeting, Yin Qi is afraid that he will be watched and killed.

Seeing his embarrassed appearance, Kangxi smiled happily.Yin Qi didn't know if Kangxi did this on purpose, to see his jokes, or if he didn't mean it originally, but now he was just taking advantage of the situation to have fun.He didn't dare to ask, he just lowered his head to look at the decorations on the court clothes on his chest and Jin Po's court beads.

Kangxi smiled and touched Yinqi's head, and said: "It's just a small court meeting, an ordinary battle, how can you be so scared? I thought you were so bold."

He was smiling when he spoke, but the deep meaning in these words was enough for Yin Qi to ponder for a while.Yinqi didn't dare to delay, and immediately replied: "Father...my son is so bold. My son has always been very careful."

Kangxi was stunned for a moment, then sighed: "Look at you, you're thinking too much, right? I told you earlier that thinking too much hurts your body. You're so young, you think so much all day long, and I'm also worried about your future... ...We are also father and son, how can there be so much emphasis on talking between father and son? But don't think about it."

This almost explained that he didn't have the meaning that Yin Qi thought. Yin Qi was immediately flattered, and hurriedly said: "I have become a habit of blindly thinking wildly. But it makes my father worry, it is my fault. "

Kangxi called him to come closer, patted him on the shoulder, and said: "You are still young, these things will gradually change in the future, can I still blame you? Sigh, I still feel at ease after hearing you make my Ama feel at ease."

Yinqi was as good as he was, and immediately shouted: "Huang Ama forgives my sins, and Yinqi is endlessly grateful."

Kangxi smiled and said, "Do you know what it means when I ask you to follow me to the palace today?"
