Breeze

Before Yinqi could figure out the meaning of Yongzheng's words, Yongzheng said: "I'm afraid that you have been trembling for the past two years because you are afraid of me? You are really not wrong to say that you are a silly child!"

Feeling a big hand patting on his shoulder, the tension in Yinqi's heart slowly dissipated, and he heard Yongzheng say again: "You are my youngest brother. In my heart, I want to wait for Hongli." And Hongzhou, I want to love you more. How many times did I tell you when you were a child? You also play in the palace all day long. Is it possible that we are not familiar with each other in your heart? After all these years, What are you afraid of me? If you keep hiding, I will be disappointed!"

Yinqi stopped quickly, and moved forward obediently.Yongzheng patted his head, then smiled a little, and said with satisfaction: "I was talking to you, but I dared to avoid it. Are you brave or timid?"

Yin sighed again: "Speaking of which, my majesty is far inferior to that of the late emperor, why do you dare to act coquettishly and foolishly in front of the late emperor, and you are so cute in front of me?"

Without waiting for Yinqi to defend, Yongzheng said again: "Don't bring out your foolish words again. I am not a Buddha, how can I have such a majesty to subdue a monkey like you!"

Yin Qi pursed his lips and smiled, "Your Majesty knows what I want to say?"

Yongzheng also laughed and said: "If you don't even know about you, I will be your fourth brother for nothing!"

Laughed for a while, and then said: "But after thinking about it for a while, I'm afraid it's because I have taught you a lot, which makes you afraid. But you should also know that jade can't be made into a weapon. The late emperor and I both want to watch You have become a great fortune, and it was not in vain that the living Buddha gave you such a period of evaluation, which is a bit strict. I have always been impatient, and you know it, so I will be harsh."

Yinqi hurriedly said: "The emperor's lesson, the slaves are also grateful..."

Halfway through the conversation, Yongzheng raised his other hand, pointed at his nose and said, "Look, it's here again, isn't it? You dared to say 'I' in front of the queen, and you changed your mouth just now. Why did this happen?" Did you change back again?"

Patting Yinqi's head, Yongzheng said again: "I told you, you have to remember it from now on. I am your elder brother, your fourth brother, what is there to be afraid of?

"And why do you need to plan so much, you went to find the old fourteen, in addition to my consideration, I am afraid that you are also worried that I will not be able to restrain him, and worry about your own safety?

"If the late emperor is still alive and he sits here, are you still afraid?"

Yongzheng said, looking into Yinqi's eyes with black eyes, and sighed: "You probably can't trust me. You can't believe that I can protect you like the first emperor."

Startled, Yin Qi opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.Yongzheng's words really exposed all his thoughts and pointed to the center.

He is cautious, he looks forward and backward, he calculates left and right, he is trembling, not all because of this...

Because Kangxi is gone, no one can love and protect him like his father.

Even if Yongzheng is closer than others, even if he is an elder brother who is connected by blood, he cannot replace Kangxi.And in his heart, he was always afraid of Yongzheng, the emperor who had a cruel and cruel evaluation in history.

Sometimes my heart is full of contradictions.On the one hand, because of the friendship of these years, I always have to care about Yongzheng, and I have a feeling of wanting to be close to him from the bottom of my heart.This fourth brother is not impersonal, he is always very kind to those who are close to him.On the other hand, it is still difficult to get rid of the memory of Yongzheng in the previous life. Even if I know that most of them are rumors, I always have prejudices in my heart.Regarding Yongzheng's words and deeds, it is inevitable to make more guesses and deliberately discredit them.

In fact, listening to him say such words now, he really expressed Yin Qi's thoughts directly.If he didn't really care about his elder brother, how could he see it so thoroughly and speak so caringly?

If he heard Yongzheng's words the day before, I'm afraid that Yinqi would have to think about a lot of things, and he must have screwed up Yongzheng's meaning.It's just that this morning, after misunderstanding King Jiajun, Yinqi seemed to realize something.I'm afraid that when he looks at people normally, he really specially thinks about people's thoughts in a bad way.It turned out that he was always suspicious.

Although this is a precautionary heart, sometimes it is used in the wrong place.The ones in front of me are the real relatives in this life, that is, the Tian family has no family affection. After so many years, I have already seen clearly who is sincerely treating me well, but why can't I let go of my guard?

I'm afraid it's just this sentence...

Yongzheng continued: "But you don't have to worry. Without the first emperor, I will always be there. I am your elder brother, but whenever I am here, I will never ignore you. Isn't it true that an elder brother is like a father gone?"

~~~~~~~

With just this one sentence, Yin Qi's heart suddenly seemed to be immersed in hot soup, it was soft and warm, and he was about to shed tears.

Yongzheng looked at his unruly appearance, couldn't help laughing, and sighed: "Now you look like a child again, if you really cry, you'll be like a dirty cat..."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to hug Yin Qi and patted her on the back.

Yin Qi's heart trembled, and the tears fell just like that.There is no other person who can give him such a comforting posture of the guard.

There was only Yongzheng, the fourth brother whom he had suspected and guarded against for so long...

Wept uncontrollably, faintly venting out the suppressed sadness, fear and worry, and many inexplicable negative emotions accumulated in his heart since Kangxi's death, Yin Qi felt a sudden light in his heart. Standing up straight in her arms, she felt that her eyes were brighter than before.

Yongzheng wiped his face with a handkerchief, pointed to a wet mark on his front, and said, "Look, this is your fault."

Yin Qi's face flushed, and he said slowly: "The emperor...I..."

Seeing the tolerant expression on Yong's face, Yin Qi felt a little guilty again, and said, "Your Majesty...in fact, I have been..."

Yongzheng interrupted him with a wave of his hand, and said: "I know what you want to say, but I don't need to mention it. You are a child, what else can I care about with you? Do you think I am the old sixteen?"

Yin Qi was startled, but couldn't help laughing.Yongzheng's heart is as clear as a mirror, what he wants to say is indeed needless to say.

He only heard him say again: "However, if I don't punish you for anything, I'm afraid it's in your heart that you have to worry about your guilt?"

Yinqi raised his head and looked at Yongzheng with open eyes.However, he saw that there was some playfulness in his eyes, which he had never seen before, and Yin Qi caught his eye for a while.

Watching his lips open and close, it took a while before I heard what he said.

"...you still have fingerprints on your face, and I won't lay hands on your face." Yongzheng thought for a moment with a half-smile, and continued, "I'm much kinder than Old Sixteen. I call fourth brother, even if you have been punished, how about it?"

Yin Qi was stunned when he heard that, but his body seemed not to obey his orders, and he opened his mouth and murmured: "...fourth brother..."

After he yelled out, he heard what he yelled, and quickly shut his mouth.

Looking carefully at Yongzheng, he saw that his expression was a little strange, he seemed happy, but also sad.Knowing that Yinqi was looking at him, Yongzheng put his hand on Yinqi's shoulder, held it firmly, and sighed with a smile: "Since I sat in this seat, it seems that I am no longer a person. This is... the first time I heard of it in two years." Some people call me like in the past... but unexpectedly you dare to say it..."

Yin Qi looked at him, not knowing what to say, he just opened his mouth, but closed it again.

There seemed to be something touched in my heart, and it seemed that I could feel the mixed flavors of Yongzheng at this time, but I also felt a kind of sigh.

He was a little dazed again, but he heard Yongzheng laughing and said: "Don't be afraid, I'm happy after calling out. Isn't that the case? I'm still your fourth brother, and I don't need to be afraid of my fourth brother in the future."

~~~~~~~

After leaving the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Yin Qi still had some lingering lingering turmoil in his heart. He couldn't calm down. He only thought about what Yongzheng said just now. He was happy at the moment and worried at the moment, but he didn't know what mood he was in.

Probably because he already regarded Yongzheng as the same as Concubine Jing, and he was an extremely important person in his heart, so because of his ups and downs, he couldn't help sighing, and now there was one more person he cared about. people.

Because he thought of Concubine Jing, he was planning to go to Ningshou Palace to see her, and he left in a hurry in the morning, maybe she is still thinking about it now, so it's better to go back and let her see that she is safe.

Coming out of the courtyard of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he was about to go east, but was stopped by someone from behind.

Yin Qi turned around, but saw that the eunuch beside Hongli was familiar, but he didn't know what his name was, and he was running this way.When I got to the front, I heard the eunuch say: "The servant is rude and calls the 23rd Lord, there is something important to ask the 23rd Lord to listen to."

Urgent matter?What can be urgent now?

And it is to talk to him, not to seek Yongzheng, but to listen to him.

Yinqi said, "what's the matter?"

The eunuch said: "Master 23, when our master returned home, he had a severe fever again, and he was in a daze. The servants did not dare to disturb the emperor, so they had to come and beg Lord 23 to come and have a look."

Yinqi frowned when he heard this, and said: "Is this matter back to Empress Xi? What's the matter with you coming to look for me? You should tell the emperor."

The eunuch wondered: "When our master was awake earlier, he ordered that he should not disturb the emperor. The emperor has an important matter at this time, so he can't delay it. He also said that Mrs. Xi just came back from the garden and was running all the way. At that time, I followed the Empress Dowager and knelt before the Empress Dowager's coffin, even if I knew the news, I was afraid that I would not be able to pass, but I was just worried, so I decided not to say anything."

After hearing such an explanation, it was reasonable and filial, so Yin Qi nodded and said: "It's because I didn't think carefully, the fourth elder brother is extremely filial, so it's appropriate."

After thinking for a while, he said: "Then that's the case, as you can see, there is no one around me, go and go to Ningshou Palace for me, and tell the aunt next to Mrs. You should be fine, don't worry. I'll go to pay my respects later, so don't worry about it too much, Your Majesty."

After finishing speaking, he said: "You go and spread the word, I will go back to elder brother's place by myself, and naturally I will go to see fourth elder brother."

After returning to the West Fifth Institute, Yin Qi naturally went back to his own yard first, and changed into the big clothes he had worn when he greeted him.Don't panic this time, only then did I hear Bixiang's reply, saying that Su Yao was injured, and she hasn't woken up yet.

Yin Qi asked quickly, and learned that he was injured because he blocked the knife for Prince Zhuang earlier, so Prince Zhuang sent the imperial doctor to look at him, so he was relieved, and understood why Su Yao entered the palace, but kept Did not come to find him.Ordinary eunuchs and court ladies are sick and injured, and there is absolutely no imperial doctor to see them.Fortunately, Su Yao was injured because of Prince Zhuang, so he could be diagnosed and treated by an imperial physician.

So I had to get up and go to Su Yao's room to have a look again. Seeing that Su Yao's condition was okay, Yinqi said: "Take good care of him, the master is here to make you panic, so let's go. I'll go As soon as the fourth elder brother returns to the courtyard, maybe he will go directly to Ningshou Palace from there, so he doesn't have to cook my meal at night."

After speaking, he took Zhang Zhenchun out.

Entering Hongli's room, Hongli was awake.Seeing the flush on his cheeks, Yin Qi sat on the chair by the bed and reached out to explore, but he avoided it.

Hongli said: "Don't let Uncle 23 get sick. Uncle 23 has never been in good health. He was also poisoned yesterday. Today is another day of fatigue. Looking at it now, his face is still a little pale. White."

Seeing Hongli's concerned expression when he spoke, Yinqi suddenly felt a little awkward and a little funny.Isn't he visiting a doctor?Why is it that Hongli is here to ask for warmth?And I always feel that it seems a bit strange for Hongli to be so close to him.

He also thought that Hongli was the nephew of a direct relative after all, so he shouldn't be so suspicious.

Yinqi said to himself again in his heart that it is best to get rid of such suspicion as soon as possible, so he put a smile on his face and said: "Where am I so weak? Speaking of it, I still blame me. If it wasn't for me, you You can’t just hurt your face like this. If I get rid of the sickness and you get better, I will still chant Buddha’s name. This is to make me not worry about you.”

Hongli was a little excited when he heard this, and his face became more crimson. He looked at Yinqi with his eyes, and after a while he smiled and said: "This is not possible. My nephew would rather Uncle 23 worry about me properly than I don't want to see Uncle 23 sick."

Yinqi didn't just want to check the temperature on his forehead, and he didn't force it right now, he withdrew his hand and said, "It's about mealtime now, what do you want to use? Knowing that you are not feeling well, you took medicine again, I don't have much appetite, but I still have some food, and my body is strong. If you can avoid it today, the whole capital will be mourned in the morning, and the clan will also enter the palace. It must be another busy day. You are not in good health, If you are sad, let the Emperor and Empress Xi feel sad for you, right?"

After speaking, he turned his head and told the maid standing by the bed, so and so.

When Yinqi turned his head back, Hongli only stared at him with his eyes, but didn't speak. After a while, he said in a hoarse voice: "Uncle 23, if you can stay with me here for a while, everything will be fine for me. Don't I don't want any more."
