Breeze

Hong Zhou glanced at the two anxious little maids again, and said with a smile, "Bi Xiang must not hear this, and she will beg for an explanation with Uncle 23 when she comes back!"

Yinqi waved his hand and said: "She is just naughty. When she first came to my side, she looked dignified. But now that she is familiar with her, she is as lively as Aunt Wen. Fortunately, she is a big court lady herself. I don't have a parenting nun around me to watch, otherwise she would have been taught a lesson several times long ago."

As he said that, Yinqi smiled at the two little maids, and said, "Don't be afraid of Brother Wu, he is just used to the naughtiness of Bixiang and Aunt Wen, and I'm afraid you will follow suit. I just said it with a straight face. It’s just to scare you, so don’t take it seriously. Haha, let’s teach you a lesson.”

Xia Rong and Mingying looked at each other, then quickly leaned over and said: "Thank you, Master Wu, for your lesson."

The two of them are serious about manners, and there is nothing wrong with being polite.

It's just that the more polite he is, the annoyed Hong Zhou will be.Then he waved his hand and said, "Come on, why are you thanking me? Are you going to be happy when my master scolded you? You are so stupid. Hurry up and wait for Master Baylor to change his clothes, and you go down to make the eyes of the gentlemen quiet."

The two little maids probably didn't know where their unreasonable disaster came from, and they were very at a loss, so they looked at Yinqi again.Yinqi was helpless, and said with a smile: "Why don't you take a snapshot of what Brother Wu said, come over and finish your errands? Then go down to find Bixiang, and tell her that you should change into spring clothes in your purple clothes. The color dazzles my grandpa."

Having said that, the two little maids would not dare to stand in a daze, so naturally they all came over and tidied up his attire quickly.Yin Qi nodded and smiled at Hong Zhou: "Xia Rong and Ming Ying are smarter than when Yu Hong and Qing Lan first came to me. They really deserve to be taught by the emperor."

Hong Zhou pouted again, turned his head away, and stopped talking.

~~~~~~~

Arriving at Qingyan in Jiuzhou, to the east of the main hall is the Tiandijiachun where the queen and accompanying concubines live.Yin Qi looked at the plaque and felt ironic. Since ancient times, can there be fewer battles in the harem?What else is there to say about the spring of heaven and earth, is it ironic?

After entering the door, Nalashi was picking pastries and putting them on the plate with his own hands. It looked like they were going to be sacrifices.

Seeing Yinqi and Hongzhou coming in, Nala's hands didn't stop, he just waved to them and said with a smile: "You two come over quickly and get two yuan. This is a newly fried snack, and I will serve it to the ancestors in a while." Come on, take advantage of the fact that the emperor doesn't know, eat two yuan to get a blessing. Just take it from the dustpan over there, it's left for you by Tete. Don't stretch your hand here, you will offend your ancestors."

Yin Qi was not polite either, he straightened up after a thousand blows, walked over and took a piece of puff pastry from Nala's hand, put it on his mouth and took a bite, then handed it to Hong Zhou to taste.Then he said with a smile: "This is the good luck of the slaves. Just now, the fifth elder brother also said, can you grab some good food from the empress, and this will happen."

Nala put the snacks on a plate, and ordered the maid beside her to put them on the big tray, then said with a smile: "I'm afraid it's not good luck. It's you two, you smelled the smell of oil, so come here ?”

Hong Zhou stuffed sesame balls from the big dustpan beside him into his mouth, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, you have wronged us. Taohuawu is a long way from your Majesty's, and my son's nose isn't that sharp yet. Well. But Uncle 23 wronged me for being a nephew. My son misses his mother, so he came to pay his respects. Why did he come here specially for snacks?"

While talking, his subordinate picked up another piece of snack and put it in his mouth. He ate his food line by line, and it was rare for him to be able to speak clearly.

While wiping his hands, Nala said with a smile: "Don't talk about filial piety, Hong Zhou, you just eat yours well. If you talk again, the scum of the snacks will fall out, and I will let you clean up under your feet." blanket!"

Then he turned his head and asked Yinqi: "Why doesn't brother 23 eat it? Could it be that he is not used to the taste of vegetable oil? It's okay for me to eat it, but it has a fishy and astringent smell of beans, which is not as good as the butter I used earlier. Moisturize."

Yinqi just couldn't get used to this kind of greasy and sweet dessert when worshiping ancestors in the palace, but he didn't complain about it, so he reached out and took a piece of Shaqima, just put it in his hand, and said with a smile: " The slave doesn’t feel hungry, but I’m afraid that if I have a snack now, I won’t be able to fill it up when I eat later, and I’ll roll over from bed hungry again at night.”

Nalashi laughed and said, "What are you afraid of? Just eat it when you're hungry at night. Could it be that the kitchen over there dared to neglect you, and couldn't make it for you?"

Just as he was talking, it was announced from outside that the emperor had arrived, and several people hurriedly got up and went to the door to meet him.Then I saw Yongzheng striding in, seeing Yinqi Hongzhou, but he was a little surprised, nodded at the two of them, and asked: "You two are not good at studying in your own yard, why are you running here?" coming?"

Hong Zhou naturally didn't dare to cross Yinqi, he was also a little afraid of Yongzheng, so Yinqi smiled and said: "Back to the emperor, the servants are here to greet the empress, and to eat some snacks by the way. Read carefully, and your stomach will inevitably choke." Hungry fast, and I don’t want to bother the kitchen to just cook for the servants, so I went to the empress’s place to search to see if there is anything to eat, and I am stuffed.”

The queen was originally the mother of the country, and she wanted to show her kindness and everyone's dependence on her.Yinqi said this, but it was precisely this meaning that made Yongzheng happy to hear, his frowning brows relaxed a little, and he said with a smile: "This time it's fine. You can fill your stomach." Are you full? Just don’t eat too much, it’s greasy, I’m afraid it’s bad for the stomach.”

Yinqi then raised his hand to signal the piece of snack in his hand, and said with a smile: "Didn't I just get it in my hand, before I entered it, the emperor came here."

Yongzheng snorted and said, "Is this still preventing you from eating?"

Yinqi laughed quickly and said, "Don't dare. The emperor didn't stop the slave, so where did he stop?"

Yongzheng was also amused, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.Then he coughed again, and said: "Come on, what should you eat, you eat your own. I won't block your mouths."

Then he said to Nala, "Queen, I have something to discuss with you."

After saying that, he walked inside, and Nalashi quickly followed behind.After both of them went in, Yin Qi and Hong Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, and Hong Zhou picked up another sesame dumpling and put it in his mouth, eating while saying, "Oh, when it was said outside that the emperor was coming, I Almost choked to death!"

Yin Qi pursed his lips and said, "You eat in such a hurry, who can snatch it from you?"

He wanted to reach out his hand to call the maid next to him to pour tea, but suddenly saw that the one standing next to him was not a maid.

After looking carefully for a while, Yin Qi suddenly remembered who it was, and couldn't help but let out a "Yeah".

Hong Zhou raised his head and asked, "What happened to Uncle 23? What did you remember?"

Yinqi smiled wryly, and said: "That one over there, isn't that your sister? Why don't you hurry over to pay her respects? Just now, the empress didn't say anything, and we didn't see it. It's rude."

Hong Zhou also looked over, but saw the girl standing in the corner with her head down, her ears and neck were all pink, she was obviously shy and afraid.Seeing her attire, Hong Zhou quickly stood up and went over to salute her, saying, "This... is... sister Shushen? My brother greets my sister."

The little girl raised her head, and returned the salute in a soft voice. She sounded like Shuhua who Yinqi had only met a few days ago.

It was only after she arrived at the Old Summer Palace two days ago that Yongzheng made her a Heshuoshushen Gege.Now there is no mention of marriage, there is no name of a princess yet, and the outfits are all of the class of Shuogege, which looks a little more stylish than before.

Because Hongzhou greeted her, she hurried over to pray for Yin.Yinqi only smiled and said: "Shuhua, it's not that our uncle and nephew have never met before, why are you so timid? If I hadn't seen it, I'm afraid you wouldn't come to talk, right?"

Shuhua quickly squatted down, pleading guilty: "It's my niece's negligence... I just thought that my fifth elder brother was still there, and Shuhua was timid for a while, and didn't dare to approach... Uncle 23 forgive me for being rude."

She looked at it now, but she was much better than when she first saw her, her face was flushed and she was a little fatter.But she was still trembling, and Yin Qi didn't dare to let her squat down, so she called out quickly, and then said: "Oh, you girl, you are too careful. You are the emperor's daughter, and Hong Zhou is the emperor's daughter." My son, you are the brothers and sisters, why don't you dare to come near?"

If I remember correctly, it was Horqin Mongolia, Khan Alin League Tuxietu Wai Zhelim Zasak Left Middle Banner Prince Bahrain's mansion who Yongzheng planned to marry the princess to.That is a very powerful family in Inner Mongolia. If you can make friends with it, it will be a great help, and it should be beneficial in the future.

Hong Zhou also knew the truth of this, so he also laughed and said: "Yes. Sister Shushen is my elder sister, so why do we care about each other? Speaking of which, although younger brother has heard people talk about elder sister before, but this It's really the first time I've seen my sister with my own eyes. My sister is really the daughter of our Aixinjueluo family, and she looks like a little bit of the late emperor."

Isn't it?It looks like chant.Yin Qi thought to himself, with a smile on his face.

The three of them gathered around the kang table with dim sum and pastries and started talking.Although Shuhua is older than Yinqi Hongzhou, but she grew up in Xian'an Palace, so she has much less knowledge than the two of them.

Hong Zhou gestured to her and told her the interesting things outside, such as Tianqiao, Liulichang, Qianmen, Dashilan, Shuhua had never been out of the palace in the first 14 years, but this time she came out, and followed Nala again. , The carriage was fully covered and arrived at Yuanmingyuan. I had never seen what it looked like outside, and I heard it with great interest.

While talking, Yongzheng and Nalashi came out from inside, and Yinqi was holding a teacup to drink water, and stood up quickly.Hongzhou and Shuhua, on the other hand, spoke with enthusiasm, and the other listened fascinatedly, but they didn't see it.

Nala Shiyin laughed and said: "These two, sitting together are like brothers and sisters born by a mother. They are two children who can be loved by others. Hongzhou is also a good-natured child, and he doesn't like anyone. Get along."

It was rare for Yongzheng to smile because he saw the friendly scene just now.Hongzhou saw the two big Buddhas after hearing Nala's words, and stood up abruptly, originally he was a little apprehensive, but when he saw Yongzheng's smiling face, he was also relieved, and smiled with his eyes closed.Seeing that the people around her were all smiling, Shuhua felt less uneasy, and stood with her handkerchief clutched, her head bowed.

Nala laughed again: "I still remember when Hongzhou was a child, the child who was only a few months old was different from other children. Other children always cried, but Hongzhou laughed a lot. My At that time, I said that this child will be a peace of mind when he grows up. Looking at it now, don't you answer that sentence?"

Yongzheng nodded, but then frowned and said: "What kind of a hippie smiley face is he? He also owes a lesson!"

Nalashi covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "The emperor compared himself with these children when he was young, how can they compare with these little bastards?"

Yongzheng became a little happy after being praised, and his face softened. He only pointed to Hongzhou and said, "Haven't you eaten enough? The dustpan next to me was still full when I came in just now, and now it's empty. Why are you still dawdling here? Go back and study!"

Hong Zhou quickly agreed and was about to leave.Yongzheng turned his face but prayed to Yin again: "Brother 23 came here with me, I have something to tell you."

Although Yin Qi said he didn't know what was going on, he didn't dare to ask, he just said goodbye to Nala, and then trotted out following Yong Zheng's steps.

It wasn't until the Tiandi Family Spring plaque was passed that he dared to turn his head and give Hong Zhou a look when he came out to see him off respectfully.

~~~~~~~

In the Old Summer Palace, Yongzheng's living place was in the Xinuang Pavilion of the Qingyan Main Hall in Jiuzhou, and it was here that he brought Yinqi all the way.It was here that Yinqi greeted Yongzheng every morning, and the environment was very familiar, so he didn't feel nervous at this moment.He just stood in front of Yongzheng, watched him settle down, picked up the folder on the kang table, and put it on the table again.

Yongzheng seemed to be hesitating for something, and after a while, he put his chin in one hand, looked at Yinqi and said, "The day before yesterday, Hongshi bumped into the 23rd brother, but the 23rd brother feels complaining?"

Without waiting for Yinqi to speak, Yongzheng said again: "Oh, you just complained, and I don't blame you for anything. Originally, Hongshi was a man who didn't know how to measure, and I was annoyed to see him too. Why is it such a useless thing? !"

Yinqi then smiled and said: "If the slave says he doesn't complain, the emperor may not believe it. Brother Hongshi...he has gone too far. But since the emperor has taught him a lesson, what is the slave's grievance? "

Yongzheng sighed: "23rd brother is a sensible person, and it is not in vain that the late emperor and I have taught you for so many years. I also know why you confronted Hongshi—it was because of that incompetent Hong Zhou, right? "
