Breeze

On the side of the flower hall facing the water, there is a platform protruding out, and the bottom is full of water, which is a good view.Prince Gong was sitting on a recliner in the flower hall, humming along with the sound of the huqin. Seeing Yinqi approaching, he raised his hand to make the musician stop, and then stretched out his hand to press Yinqi's head to prevent him After saluting, he directly sat down on the chair next to him.

Prince Gong squinted his eyes and said: "Why do you come to see me today when you have time? Or do you come here to show your diligence because you go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing and ask me for something?"

Yin Qi smiled and said: "I just wanted to come here to greet the prince, but it happened that something happened..."

Prince Gong sneered and said, "That sounds good! Is there something wrong?"

Then he straightened up and said: "Come on, come and show me first, what do you think of these children?"

He waved his hands and said, "That one over there, the one who sings Diao Chan, come here for me. The brother called me will also take a look at your appearance."

A girl in pink clothes standing over there walked over slowly, and stood in front of the two with her head down. Yin Qi was sitting, so she could see his face clearly, with beautiful eyebrows under the heavy oil paint.

And he is dressed like this, no matter how he looks, how does he look like a person...

Yinqi pondered for a while, then frowned.

Prince Gong raised his eyebrows and said: "Why, you don't like it? This kid has already found many teams and picked out the best one. You are not very young, but you have high vision."

As he spoke, he glanced at the Danjiaoer.

Yin Qi saw that the man was trembling slightly, obviously frightened.If Prince Gong didn't like him because of this, or kicked him out, his life would probably be over.

He quickly said: "It's not that he's bad, it's just that my younger brother just looked at it, and suddenly had a thought of being disrespectful, and suddenly felt that he was really unruly, so he frowned."

Prince Gong smiled and said: "There are only our brothers here, so you can be more casual. Think about it, what can you do? But... tell me, what do you think? Let me hear something new."

Yinqi looked at Prince Gong, and said slowly: "The younger brother saw this Xiaodan at first, but felt that he dressed up in such a way that he seemed to have a bit of the queen mother's character, and suddenly panicked in his heart. Later, thinking about it, it was probably because of For this reason, the prince raised him in the mansion, which is also a respect to the queen mother. The younger brother has always been casual and doesn't know the rules, so the prince should not be angry."

When Prince Gong heard this, he burst out laughing.It's just a little bit of light flowing out of his eyes, it can be seen that his eyes are cold.

Yinqi was not afraid, but just looked at Prince Gong with a smile.

After a while, Prince Gong said: "Come on, I've talked a lot of nonsense, what are you doing here today? Or what do you want me to do for you, tell me."

Yin Qi said: "Nowadays the summer is long, the emperor is not in the capital, and the prince has not entered the palace for a long time. The queen mother is afraid that she wants her son. Why don't the prince enter the palace with me and greet the queen mother."

Prince Gong raised his eyebrows and said: "It's just that, do you still need to send a message?"

Yin Qi smiled and said: "There is naturally my younger brother's selfishness here. My younger brother is still thinking, when the prince comes out of Ningshou Palace, can I take the time to give my younger brother and elder brothers pointers on riding and shooting? When I come back and tell people, my younger brother is also the same. After being instructed by the Great General Wang, others will naturally be envious when they hear it, isn't my younger brother also bright?"

Prince Gong then laughed and said: "Come here, don't let me be confused! Your lord can only listen to a few good words from you? Seriously. Why are you here?"

Yin Qi looked at Prince Gong, and Prince Gong also looked at Yin Qi. The two looked at each other for a long time.After all, Yinqi moved his eyes away first, let out a sigh of relief, and said: "The prince is indeed the emperor's younger brother, with bright eyes like torches."

Then put away the smile on his face, and said in a low voice: "I hope the prince can listen to my brother in private about this matter."

Prince Gong nodded his head and raised his hand, all the singers and singers in the flower hall quickly backed away.Even the head of the royal residence who followed in just now went out, leaving only Prince Gong's personal eunuch Hong Fu and another eunuch whose name Yin Qi couldn't name.

Everyone went out, Prince Gong said: "What do you have to say, there is no one at the moment, so hurry up and say it."

Yin Qi still lowered his voice, and said: "The prince should have noticed that the capital is not peaceful these days."

Prince Gong sneered and said: "Let him go. If it's not peaceful, it's not peaceful. Anyway, the emperor is not in the capital, and there will never be a hidden arrow shot at him. I want to save my own life, and I have to have this ability. Other people, Do I care if he lives or dies?"

Looking at Prince Gong's expression, Yin Qi knew that his words were not false.I'm afraid it's the "other people" that Prince Gong said, that is, Prince Yi and King Jiajun, and maybe Yinqi himself.

After he finished speaking, he leaned back on the reclining chair and said, "If you have nothing else to do, I'll ask those actors to come in and continue singing. You don't know, that Diao Chan just now has a very nice voice."

Yinqi waited for him to finish speaking, and then said: "The prince can not care about other people. But what about the queen mother? No one can guarantee the safety of the queen mother in the palace. Brother, you might as well tell the prince about it. Prince Yi probably met her." What's wrong, my brother hasn't seen anyone else since early this morning. At this time, Prince Yi is nowhere to be seen. He is the minister who leads the guards. Could it be that the prince is thinking of relying on King Jiajun for the safety of the Queen Mother and brothers? What kind of King Jiajun is, the prince should also know well."

Prince Gong immediately sat up straight again, grabbed Yin Qi's two arms, narrowed his eyes and said, "Are you serious?"

Yin Qi nodded and said: "Prince Yi hasn't been to the yamen of the household department these few days, but because my younger brother often asks someone to ask him about things, so I asked the servants around me to look for it a few days ago, and most of them can find someone of."

After a pause, he said again: "It's just that it's unusual today. I didn't see Prince Yi in the morning. I asked the usual guards to look for him, but even the guards who went there were nowhere to be seen, or they didn't find anyone. Go for a run."

Then Yinqi bit his lips and said in a low voice: "And there is one more thing... King Jiajun is gone. The guards next to my brother belong to him, and there is no trace of him. And...don't hide it from the prince , my younger brother is by his side, and there are people there, but I don’t know that Brother Sixteen is at this time... the prince is also thinking about it."

It is about the safety of the Empress Dowager in the palace, how can Prince Gong say to let her go?And he must have been thinking about something himself, as soon as Yin Qi finished speaking, he immediately jumped up from the reclining chair and said, "Success! Today, my father will come into the palace with you to have a look."

While walking out, he looked back at Yinqi and said, "However, if you dare to lie to me, even if you say a word, I will let you know how powerful I am!"

In the palace, on the way to Ningshou Palace, Yin Qi followed Prince Gong, and met Hong Zhou and Hong Li in front of him.The two of them stood up quickly after saluting, and Hongzhou didn't care about the rules, and asked directly: "Have the two uncles seen the third elder brother? The nephews have something important to do with the third elder brother."

Prince Gong said impatiently: "I didn't see it! I'm busy right now, so I'll talk about it later!"

However, Yin Qi held back Prince Gong, turned to Hong Zhou Hong Li and said, "Why are you two back? Could it be that you came here on a special trip to look for Third Elder Brother? Is there something wrong?"

Hongli and Hongzhou looked at each other, looking at Prince Gong standing beside Yinqi, both looked hesitant.

After all, Hongli said: "There is nothing important, but the emperor sent us two to the city to ask the third brother something, and then came back. I didn't pay my fourteenth uncle and 23rd uncle early. , the nephews are being rude."

Prince Gong sneered, and said: "Is this said specifically to show your respect? But it's unnecessary! What's there to say about these face-to-face words? If you really think I'm still your fourteenth uncle, then talk about it, Are you looking for the third elder brother? Do you have any conspiracy? Don’t use the emperor’s words to talk about things, send a message, ask for information, do you need the two elder brothers?”

As he said that, his eyes flicked back and forth on the faces of the two brothers, his eyes were sharp, as if he wanted to see a big hole in the skin of both brothers, so that he could take a closer look at the details and depths inside.

Hongli flinched because of this look, and Hongzhou avoided it a little.

It's just that the two of them had already expressed fear, and Prince Gong didn't look away, so Hong Zhou could only turn his face and said, "Your Majesty has really wronged us, it's really just a message. As for saying What the prince said... When I came back from outside the city today, my fourth brother and I said, what does the emperor mean by sending a letter and asking us to run together for a while?"

The matter was urgent, Prince Gong was just a little suspicious, but right now he didn't have time to interrogate them, so he pointed at the two of them and said, "Let's go, follow me to Ningshou Palace. Go back to the palace, Anyway, you have to know how to greet the queen mother! Otherwise, what will happen. By the way, since you came back from the garden, you should also tell the queen mother about the current situation of the emperor, so as not to worry about the queen mother."

Now that he said that, Hong Zhou Hong Li didn't dare to say that he had already paid his respects to the Queen Mother, so he could only follow behind.Yin Qi looked back at the two brothers and smiled.

At this time, it is indeed most appropriate to let the two brothers stay by their side.No matter whether they are ignorant or have their own ideas, it is only reassuring to keep them by their side.

If they were just let go like this, no one would be able to bear it if something happened.

~~~~~~~

When we arrived at Ningshou Palace, the Empress Dowager was sitting on the kang, leaning on the pillow and talking to people, and sitting on the armchair beside the kang was a middle-aged woman dressed in plain palace attire. For the favored secret concubine.

Look at the one standing next to Concubine Mi, who is also wearing a blue flag dress, who else could it be if it's not Hefei?It's just strange, how can a secret concubine, a concubine, have a place to sit in front of the empress dowager, while concubine He is a concubine, but she is standing beside her.

Could it be a woman's jealousy?Yinqi couldn't help sighing in his heart, Kangxi is really charming.When he is old and dead, he can still attract a group of women to be jealous of him.

Thinking of this, thinking of Concubine Jing again for a while, I was suffocated in my heart.Yin Qi clenched his fists, feeling a little sad in his heart, but he didn't dare to be seen by others, took a breath, and secretly closed his eyes.

While distracted, he followed Prince Gong to greet the Queen Mother.It was unavoidable to be so inappropriate, but after seeing Prince Gong, the Empress Dowager couldn't care less about others, so who's etiquette is not respectful?That's how he got away with it.

The queen mother only looked at Prince Gong, shouted repeatedly, and asked the maid to show Prince Gong a seat.

But if Prince Gong sits down at this time, it is inevitable that he will also give a seat to Concubine He, otherwise it would really be a violation of the rules.

Seeing the empress dowager's reluctance, Prince Gong hurriedly said: "There's no need to move around, let the old sisters work too, and when I come back, won't my mother still complain that I'm tired of being an old man who has been with me for decades? It’s good to sit next to Er Niang’s kang. It’s been a few days since I’ve been close to Er Niang, and now I’m acting like a baby with Er Niang.”

The queen mother laughed from ear to ear.Sure enough, Prince Gong sat down next to her, and she stretched out her arms to embrace Prince Gong, rubbed his forehead with one hand, and followed the braid.

After getting close for a long time, the queen mother complained: "You still talk about being close! I look at you and forget your own mother! I haven't seen you enter the palace for many days! Now pretending to be cute, can it be my fault?" Are you going to forgive me?"

Prince Gong hurriedly said: "Son, I know I'm wrong. I just thought that entering the palace has to be notified layer by layer. It's troublesome. But I haven't seen my mother for a few days, so I'm panicking. This is going to be troublesome for entering the palace. After a while, I will definitely come every day in the future!"

The Empress Dowager pursed her lips deliberately and said: "You are willing to come every day, but I am not willing to annoy you monkey every day! Come on, I also know that you are just talking nicely and really let you enter the palace every day, but you still don't care about it." Annoyed me to death, old woman!"

Prince Gong smiled and said: "If it is really an old woman, my son will be bored of it, but why is our empress dowager in the Qing Dynasty an old woman? Er Niang also asked the Mi Tai concubine to tell you that you look like 40 years old now , young."

Then he sighed and said: "It's a pity that the fourth brother is the emperor, otherwise, how could my son be willing to let Er Niang live in the palace? She has already taken her back to her own mansion. It's just that my son can't compete with the fourth brother, so I have to let him do more. I am filial."

The words were extremely helpless, the Empress Dowager laughed amused by his winking, stretched out her hand and patted his forehead, and said: "You just despise me, an old woman, and you used Yinzhen as an excuse! You should fight! When I come back and wait for Yinzhen to return to the city from the Old Summer Palace, I will tell him to beat you! How dare you say such frivolous words!"

Prince Gong couldn't help but speak nicely for a while and amuse the Queen Mother.The Empress Dowager didn't mean to be annoyed at first, she was too happy when Prince Gong came into the palace, and she was just joking with her son at this moment.

Enough talking and laughing, Prince Gong said: "I'm afraid Er Niang doesn't want to gossip with her son anymore, since the Empress Mistress and the Empress Dowager are here, she must have something to say. The son brought these few If the little one leaves, I won't dislike Er Niang."
