Breeze

Hongli's mother, Xipin, has always been the object of oppression by the noble concubine Nian.In the past two or three months, because Concubine Yu begged her to help take care of Concubine Nian, she was not less angry.At this time, Hongli just pursed his lips and smiled, and did not accuse Hongzhou of being rude.

Yinqi glanced at them both, and said, "Come on, you brothers should ask about your little brother first. You only said these sarcastic remarks here, and when you came back, it fell into the ears of that villain. I don’t know how to arrange it again!”

Then he asked the little eunuch who came to report the letter, "This is the eighth elder brother? How is the little elder brother now? It's good to look at your body?"

The little eunuch was originally a person next to Hongli, and when he heard this, he looked at Hongli in embarrassment.Hongli said: "What do you have to say, what are you doing watching me? Duanbeile asked you, what else do you have to hide?"

The little lady listened, so she gritted her teeth and said, "Returning to the three masters, little elder brother... the little elder brother is not looking well... the imperial doctors are treating, and the queen mother...is alarmed... this time At that time, the empress was kneeling in the Fengxian Hall..."

Kneeling Sutra?

Not only Yin Qi, Hong Zhou Hong Li also opened his eyes wide.

Nala has already gone to kneel to sutras, this little elder brother probably looks really bad.You know, even if it was said a few days ago that the queen mother was seriously ill, Nala only ate the whole fast, and did not say that she would go to kneel immediately.

The matter has reached the point of praying to ghosts and gods, so it can be seen that it cannot be done by human beings.I'm afraid it's really not good for this newborn little elder brother.

Yinqi thought about it carefully, it seems that all the children born to the imperial concubine died in history, so this little elder brother...

Even if he survived at this time, it would be difficult to live a few more days, right?

Several people looked at each other because the look in each other's eyes was stunned, Yinqi quickly put on a sad look, Hongzhou Hongli came to his senses, and quickly put away his gloating emotions.

It's just that there is no one else at the moment, who knows how powerful Yongzheng can be?

Furthermore, the opponent in front of him does not need to be guarded.

Hongli wiped the corner of his eyes with his hand, waved his hand to the little eunuch, and said, "Go and ask about the details. That is my eighth younger brother. My grandfather, Fifth Lord, and Duanbeile are all very concerned about it." .”

The little eunuch slapped him a thousand times, and Hong Zhou also sighed: "Yes. It was very heartbreaking for Fuyi in the past. But seeing that Fuhui is not in good health, my father and fourth brother are very concerned about it." This little brother who hasn't been born yet. I don't know, after waiting for so many months, I finally gave birth, and it's another... oh..."

After he finished sighing, he said to the little eunuch: "Although you are fourth brother's servant, I dare to tell you because of this, you must ask clearly."

The little eunuch Nuonuo then ran away.Yin Qi said: "Since the empress and empress have gone to kneel on the scriptures, let's go back too, copy some scriptures each, and pray for the little elder brother."

~~~~~~~

It's just that before they got back to elder brother's place, they heard a voice message knocking on the cloud board to announce the funeral.Because Hongli's yard was the closest to elder brother's office, the three of them rushed to his yard to avoid the people reporting the funeral, so as not to collide.

Hongli's courtyard is very similar to Yongzheng's style, it is simple, there are not many things, and the house looks like a snow cave, without even a single eye-catching decoration.

Looking at the girls who serve, they are all inconspicuous in appearance, but they are flat-headed and straight-faced.Not to mention comparing with those maids in Yinqi's courtyard, even Fengheyuexiu beside Hongzhou is much better-looking than these court ladies serving tea.

Yinqi couldn't help but be surprised.Wasn't Qianlong known for his enjoyment, luxury, and lust?Why can't the slightest sign be seen at this time?It looked like a replica of the fourth elder brother back then—no, it was much simpler than the fourth elder brother back then.

Excessive acting is hypocrisy.Hongli was still young, and he didn't know how to grasp the speed—or, was this an arrangement by Concubine Xi?Then it should be said that the women in the backyard of the deep palace have limited knowledge after all.

The tea served was really good.Yin Qi took a sip of the sweet water, and nodded secretly.The rules of hospitality are still thorough.

Another glance at the maid standing next to him, Yin Qi suddenly thought, and teased Hongli: "The servants around Si elder brother are all stupid, how dare the House of Internal Affairs treat you harshly? Give you the bad ones?"

Hongli hurriedly said: "Where will it be? It's just that my nephew doesn't like having so many people coming and going around, and Er Niang is also worried...uh...that's why...it's not that anyone neglected my nephew, but Uncle 23 Don't worry about it."

Accusing the Ministry of Internal Affairs is actually saying that the Nala family is not dedicated to the concubine.Yinqi only asked that question, but how dare Hongli accuse Nala?So I was in a hurry to explain.

Just listening to the meaning in his voice, these maids around were originally arranged by Concubine Xi?

And looking at Hongli's expression, he was also vaguely dissatisfied.Yinqi thought to himself, does this mean that his lustful nature has been revealed at this time?

Yin Qiyin said: "I see that the people around the fourth elder brother are also useless. How about this, there are a few girls with good looks and temperament in my yard, how about sending them to the fourth elder brother to serve them? Anyway, I don't need those people, and it's useless to make them lazy."

Hongli naturally had no choice but to refuse, and Yinqi only said that, and Xiaoxiao stopped mentioning it.

Beside him, Hong Zhou said, "Who does uncle 23 want to give to fourth brother? Tell my nephew, fourth brother doesn't want it, but I want it."

Yinqi took a look at him, and a lot of thoughts flashed through his mind, but with a smile on his face, he said, "Who did you fall in love with? I gave it to you by lying like this? Tell me, who is blessed, let Wu Ah Did you see it?"

Hong Zhou was just grinning, before he could speak, Hong Li frowned and said: "This is still in the mourning period of the first emperor, fifth brother, don't think about these things, the most important thing is to keep filial piety, otherwise it will be like nothing .Furthermore, in the funeral news over there, it hasn't been said who it is...I'm afraid there is still Xiao Xiao to add."

Listening to his voice, she was expecting that it was Concubine Nian who died.

It's just that as soon as his words fell to the ground, before Hong Zhou had time to explain, the eunuch's voice came from outside, crying in a long voice: "I'm so annoyed by the fourth elder brother~"

Then he entered the door with a white belt around his waist. The eunuch knelt down and kowtowed a few times, then raised his head and saw the three people in the room. I am annoyed ~ I am annoyed by the fifth elder brother ~ I am annoyed by Lord Duanbeile~"

After crying, he called again: "Three masters, just now the little elder brother of Chengqian Palace is gone, three masters stop mourning."

Hongli nodded and said, "Got it."

After ordering to give twelve silver capes as usual, Hongli turned to Hongzhou and Yinqi and said, "Uncle 23, Fifth Brother, if something like this happened, I won't keep you any longer."

Yinqi nodded and sighed: "Let's go now. But as I said just now, I'm afraid I still need to write the scriptures. Why do you think that the little elder brother will be so soon... Oh, when the time comes It is our intention to burn it at the funeral. He is dead, and I am afraid it is not an auspicious event. Burning some scriptures will avoid taboos and make the emperor feel at ease."

~~~~~~~

The newborn little elder brother was buried according to the funeral ceremony, and did not attract the attention of too many people outside the palace.It's just that in the court, it was disturbed by the Nian noble concubine so that he couldn't live in peace.

She was crying to see the world, and she said that the original queen deliberately murdered her, Qi concubine drugged her, Yu concubine took care of her carelessly, Xi concubine also took advantage of Yongzheng's absence in the capital, and said that it was not pleasant to her If so, her health gradually deteriorated, and she died immediately after giving birth to her little elder brother.Fortunately, she still remembered that she didn't take the sick queen mother with her, and didn't offend all the women in the harem.

At the beginning of Yongzheng, he also said a few words of comfort, and made an exception and named the dead brother Fupei.He also ordered that the concubine Nian had a hard time giving birth, even though the little elder brother was gone, it was hard work.

It's just that he has been quarreled too many times. How can Yongzheng's temper be impatient?I don't care about Concubine Nian anymore.In this way, not only the concubines of Yongzheng in the harem, but also many concubines and concubines of Kangxi secretly agreed.

On the contrary, the Empress Dowager said something pitiful, rolled her eyes, and said that since the concubine Nian was working hard, she was afraid that she was not in good health and could not be tired anymore, so she asked someone to give Fuhui to Song Guiren.Because she wanted to raise a prince, she could no longer be a nobleman, otherwise it would be shameful, and the nobleman of Song Dynasty would become a concubine.

Now Noble Concubine Nian stopped torturing at all, and began to be weak and virtuous again.Several times Yinqi and Hongzhou were listening to Yongzheng's lessons in the West Nuan Pavilion of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, when they heard reports from the outside that the imperial concubine Nian was ill again and begged the emperor to come over and take a look, or that the imperial concubine Nian had made some soup for the emperor to see. See if you want to take a sip and rest.

Whenever such a report was made from the outside, Yongzheng's expression was quite good-looking.

Since he couldn't get angry in front of his younger brother and son, Yongzheng had no choice but to bear it with a sober face.After a few times, I issued a decree to punish the noble concubine Nian, saying that she was too ignorant of the rules, and told her to stay in Chengqian Palace and learn the rules by copying books.

So Concubine Nian received the same treatment as Hongshi, and the harem became quiet.When Xu Yinqi went to pay Nala's greetings, Nala also had a leisurely heart, holding an embroidered purse.Seeing Yinqi, Nala smiled and pointed to the half-formed little white snake on the purse and said: "Here, this purse is embroidered, and I put brain-clearing spices in it, just for the 23rd brother."

Yin Qi Nuo Nuo felt depressed.A while ago, Nala was busy with funeral ceremonies, sacrifices, Queen Mother's illness, and Fupei's death, so she didn't see how to get close to Yinqi.Now that I am free, the "maternal love" that makes people feel creepy is showing again.

I made a calculation in my heart, but luckily Honghui is not a snake.Yinqi raised his head and smiled and said, "The servant thanked the lady first, the lady is kind, and she has something good to favor the servant first."

Nalashi paused the needle in his hand and said, "How many times have you said it? In my place, don't talk about slaves, ministers. I can't get used to it either. We are a family, so be polite." What are you doing?"

Then he said: "It's not that I said you, why have you become estranged from me since the New Year? This made me love you for nothing, why Hong Zhou knows how to be filial."

Yinqi could only smile awkwardly, and said: "It's not... that... I'm a younger brother, and I don't have the identity of Hongzhou. I'm afraid I will provoke some rumors, so it's not good."

Nala sighed, put the things in his hands on the small table next to him, and said: "Now that the emperor is the emperor and I am the queen, it is not as comfortable as when I was in Prince Yong's mansion. .Nowadays there are many things and things are troublesome, and even getting closer to my family has to be controlled..."

After all, she herself felt that she had made a slip of the tongue, so she picked up a needle and thread as a cover, and said with a smile: "Oh, I've been so busy these days that I'm dizzy, no, I can't express my words well. Just thinking, let 23 Brother is still the same as before, don't be restrained, otherwise the emperor will feel sorry for him if he finds out."

Yin Qi responded with a smile, and said: "I am the most thick-skinned and not polite. The former emperor said before that he was very courageous. He was afraid that I would offend someone without knowing it. The empress did not use it." You specially told me this, I am afraid that the empress will regret it in the future, why didn't you teach me the rules in advance?"

Nalashi pretended to be angry, and said: "Although I am not as good as the emperor's words, I still mean what I say. Since I said that I will not let you be restrained, how can I take it back?"

Yinqi hurriedly begged for mercy, and made a lot of jokes with Nalashi, that's all.

Coming out of Yikun Palace, Yin Qi wiped his sweat.This is sweating, it is hot and there are things in my heart, it is really suffering.

Thinking for a while how to divert Nala's mind, how could he be too close to his sister-in-law as a courtier?Even if the sister-in-law is old enough to be his grandmother, that won't work.

If Yong could put a child by Nala's side, it would also distract Nala's attention.It's just that there is no suitable boy who can be raised by this empress's side.

It doesn't matter if it's a girl.Honghui is a boy.

Just as he was thinking, a little eunuch came to meet him. He ran so fast that he almost bumped into Yin Qi's body.

Even if he escaped, Yin Qi was suddenly awakened from deep thinking, and Yin Qi's heart jumped for a while in fright.I couldn't help being a little annoyed, and scolded: "What are you running around!? Which palace are you from? Who taught you the rules!?"

The little eunuch hurriedly kowtowed to plead guilty, but looked at his face with a smile, probably to announce the good news.

There hasn't been any happy event in this palace for a long time, Yin Qi didn't make things difficult for him, so he called out, and then asked: "What's the good thing? It's so exciting."

The little eunuch laughed quickly and said: "Going back to Lord Belle, it's the good news from the third elder brother. A housewife in the third elder brother's yard just gave birth to a little elder brother!"

Although he was beaming, but as soon as these words came to his ears, the first thought that emerged in Yinqi's heart was, is this child really Hongshi's?
