Drunk Qingqiu

Chapter 107 November

Concubine Min died of illness in July, and there was mourning in the palace.

The owner of the Forbidden City was full of sadness, and no one dared to show joy.

In addition to each Fujin entering the palace to observe filial piety, brothers are not allowed to shave their hair within a month.For this reason, the third elder brother Yinzhi, who has always been admired by scholars, shaved his hair shortly after the death of Concubine Min, and was severely reprimanded by Kangxi.Even the prestigious palaces of the princes were cautious and did not dare to have the slightest act of celebration.

A few days later, Yinzhen returned to the House of Internal Affairs.Because of the trade with Eros this time, everyone in the Ministry of Internal Affairs became more convinced and respectful to him.During Yinzhen's departure from Beijing, Li Xijing and Dahasu made a report on the agency's official duties for the past few months.There were only a few important matters waiting for Yinzhen to come back to make up his mind, but the rest were handled very well.

"In the past few months, the two adults have worked hard." Yinzhen said.

"Don't dare to be praised by Lord Jiu, it's the duty of a subordinate official. It's hard work for Master Jiu to go back and forth thousands of miles for the Ministry of Internal Affairs." Dahasu Xiaoyuan narrowed his eyes with a smile, and bowed back.

Yinzhen also specially asked for credit for the two when submitting the booklet this time, and the two personally won the praise of the Long Live Lord.Where is Dahasu dissatisfied, he just feels that he can barely be regarded as a loyal courtier for the country, and those cliques and intrigues in the past are temporarily sidelined at this time.

On this day, Yinzhen had something to report to Kangxi, and she came to the door of the imperial study with the memorial in her arms, but stood there in a daze.From the half-open door of the study, one could see Kangxi sitting on the chair in the middle, with his head lowered, unable to see his expression clearly.But he could clearly feel the sadness and grief around him. Xiao Shisan was lying on Kangxi's lap, and there was a suppressed cry.

Yinzhen felt pity and a little sour in his heart for a moment.

It is pity that such a young child as Shisan lost his mother, especially in this dark harem.The sour thing is, thinking about it now, I have never had such a father-son interaction with Kangxi since I was a child.Even if Yinzhen used to think of herself as an outsider, now she treats Kangxi as her father.

When I was young, I only cared about being in awe and fear, pretending to be cute everywhere in order to stay away from right and wrong, but I was also very estranged from Kangxi.When I grow up, even if I have feelings, I can no longer act like a baby like Xiao Shisan...

Yinzhen stared blankly for a while, lowered her head, turned around and left gently.After he turned around, Kangxi in the room raised his head and looked at Yinzhen who was drifting away with deep eyes.

In Concubine Hui's Palace.

A palace maid in Tsing Yi blessed her body and said: "My lady's wish is finally fulfilled."

Concubine Hui placed the teacup in her hand heavily on the table, snorted, and half-lyed back on the pillow lazily: "Hmph, it's fine if she dies of illness. She should have died a few years ago, if it wasn't for the bad brother Jiu I am good! It is a pity that the internal response was finally arranged at that time, otherwise, hmph, how could it be delayed until today."

"Emiang, you must never say that again." Yin Yin lifted the curtain and entered the room.Handsome and heroic, he came over to salute Concubine Hui, "My son greets Emiang."

Concubine Hui sat up happily, "Isn't the military department busy today? Why are you free?"

Yin Yin sat down beside the kang with a smile, and the palace maid in Tsing Yi took everyone outside to watch with winking eyes.

"Emiang, the matter of the Ministry of War has been handed over to the old ten for the time being. Now, he is also considered to be on my son's side. Today I asked for leave and went to my uncle's to celebrate his old man's birthday. During the dinner, my uncle asked a few words , Mao Sai suddenly realized." Yinfei's face showed a bit of admiration, "It's still uncle who is considerate, let the Yuqing Palace and Suo'etu be arrogant for a while, if the sky wants to kill him, he must first make him crazy .”

"The son only needs to earn enough military merit according to his uncle's instructions, and recruit a group of generals. There are also a few old friends of my uncle's old friends on the civil servant's side. At that time, the crown prince will not be enough."

Concubine Hui nodded in satisfaction, "Emiang is very happy with such a self-motivated spirit. Don't worry, Emiang will talk to her aunt when she enters the palace. If, if, there is such a day, see Who in this harem dares to fight with me again!" At the end of the speech, there was unconcealable joy in his eyes.

In the palace, some people are in pain, some are happy, and some are sad.

In early summer, the sun is shining brightly and the warm wind is blowing.In the yard, the elegant man in white and the tall and tall Yinhu are as beautiful as a picture.

Yinhu looked at Mrs. Liang who was standing in the yard pruning flowers, and said warmly: "Emiang, you have been standing in the wind for a long time, go back and have a rest first." As he spoke, he glanced lightly at the other maids in the yard Eunuch, blame a few people for not persuading Mr. Liang.Several people trembled, lowered their heads and did not dare to say more.

Mr. Liang put down the scissors in his hand, touched the blooming flowers, and suddenly said softly: "Yinhu, Er Niang is very uncomfortable. Concubine Min, who served the emperor two years later than Er Niang, is gentle and graceful, but also has an exquisite mind. Quite a blessing. She is the only one with whom I can speak a few words, and now..."

Yinhu saw the growing grief on Lianggui's face, stepped forward, grabbed her hand, and said, "Emiang, you have to be well. Son, son can endure no matter how hard he has suffered all these years, but ..." Speaking of this, the words became softer and softer, Yinhu held his hand vigorously, and suddenly raised his head, "Emiang, I will definitely let Huang Ama agree that I am his most outstanding son, so that you can have a good time in the harem." life."

Mr. Liang put the flowers in his hand, the sadness on his face faded, but there was deep worry, "After all, I, the mother-in-law, dragged you down and made you think about these things since childhood."

The nobleman Liang smiled wryly, "Yinhu, Erniang knows that your child is pure and filial, but there is nothing you can do about it." The nobleman Liang turned to look outside the courtyard, "Because, your emperor Ama, he hates you. I."

"But, that's none of your business at all." The usual smile on Yinhu's face was gone, although it was plain, everyone in the yard was silent.

Concubine Liang waved for everyone to go down, but when she turned her face, she saw two masters and servants passing by outside the door.

"Brother Jiu just came from Yanxi Palace?"

When Yinzhen heard this weak and soft voice, she raised her head abruptly, her heart tightened, she was a good nobleman.Ever since he heard what Yinhu said to Lianggui here that day, he has been avoiding it, and never came to Lianggui's yard again.If I hadn't been thinking wildly in my heart today, I wouldn't have walked this way.

He cared, but he couldn't forgive, but this in itself has nothing to do with generosity or not.

If it wasn't for him being sick, Yinhu rushed over with a tired face, insisting on being by the side.Maybe Yinhu is a person, he has to learn to forget slowly.Unlike now, although the two returned to the previous mode of getting along, there was always some estrangement.

"Is brother Jiu very busy recently?" Lianggui asked softly.

Looking at the expressionless Yinhu beside her, Yinhu forced the corners of her mouth to smile, "Well, yes, I'm quite busy."

Mrs. Liang gently instructed a few words to pay attention to rest and take care of your body.Yinzhen listened and thanked him solemnly.

Finally, Mr. Liang waved his hand, "After all, he is no younger than you. After talking for a while, he is already a little tired. Yinhu, you can go down too, and brother Jiu can still make it along the way."

There is something wrong between Yinhu and Yinhu, why can't Lianggui see it.Watching the two walk away, Mr. Liang smiled slightly: Yinhu, there is only so much Erniang can help you.In this palace, there are not many people who treat our mother and son sincerely.How could Erniang have the heart to watch you stand there alone.

The two agreed and backed out together.Yinhu put away the smile on his face, turned around and left, Yinhu grabbed him, "Xiao Jiu, let's go out of the palace together, myna has something to say."

Yinhu took a look, opened his mouth, and finally said nothing, Ren Yinhu dragged him away.

Ba Age Mansion, study room.

Yinhu looked at Gao Wengaowu standing at the door, secretly satisfied, and said to Yinhu: "Xiao Jiu, I sent people to check several times, and three groups of people left Beijing for Zhangjiakou the month before you chose Huangshang. I have been there. One group is the disciples of Suo'etu's mansion, a group of aides of the third brother's mansion, and the steward of Jian Wang's mansion. Only the people of Jian Wang's mansion came out and heard that they went to buy leather goods. In addition People from the two mansions have all been in the Tongzhi yamen."

"Then, these two families can be the ones who make trouble behind your back." Having said this, Yinhu showed doubts, "I sent someone to inquire, and the third brother really complained about you, as if he was under his own hands. The emperor businessman was not selected this year, and there are some people who do this kind of thing under resentment; but if it is Suo'etu, what is it for?"

Yinzhen remembered the time when he was in danger with the prince because he heard about Suo'etu's intentions, and others didn't know about these things.Thinking about it now, Suo'etu is also very likely, after all, he knows that he has the little braid in his hand.

Yinzhen sighed secretly, other people's pigtails are also hard to handle, if not done well, it will make her all in trouble.

"Brother, that's the case. I'll be more careful on both sides."

"Well, it's true, Suo'etu is really in the way now. However, we are not the only ones who think he is in the way." Yinhu smiled slightly, "Now, we can let the elder brother stand out."

Yinzhen didn't object, it wasn't because of himself, Yinzhen would also confront Suo'etu because of other things.In the past two years, the contradiction between the eldest elder brother Yinyi, who has become more and more outstanding in military achievements, and the crown prince, who is only mediocre in performance but has been praised by Kangxi many times compared with the outstanding elder brothers, seems to be more and more obvious.

Moreover, if Suo'etu could really be brought down, it would be a good thing for him.

There is a thousand days to be a thief, but there is no reason to guard against a thief for a thousand days.If Suo'etu was really targeting him secretly, he had to think of a way.

After the two finished their business, Yinhu looked at the sky and said casually, "Stay here."

Yinhu thought of what Yinhu meant, stood up abruptly, and said, "Brother, I have something to do at home, so I'm leaving first." He walked out.

Yinhu grabbed his hand that was close to the door, and hugged Yinhu's waist from behind, but did not speak. After hugging quietly for a while, he said, "Xiao Jiu, I know that I hurt you. It's just that I hurt your heart. , It’s not as easy as a flesh wound. But, why don’t you come to question me, and always think about things alone. Why, you always refuse to try to rely on me. "

"Xiao Jiu, these years, if I hadn't been bothering to maintain the relationship, would you take the initiative to accept me and Lao Shi?"

With a cold face, Yinzhen lowered his eyes and looked at the hands on his waist, "Brother, let go, I, I will not alienate you and Lao Shi, we are still brothers."

"What I want is not just brothers."

Yinhu's hand around Yinhu's waist began to exert force, "Xiao Jiu, I'm sorry, I was selfish to snare you. But, I won't let you go." Yinhu sighed, but there was a deep and strong look in his eyes hot.

"..."

The fourth elder brother Yinzhen looked at Yinxiang who was walking slowly with his head down, the child's eyes were red and swollen, his face was full of stubbornness, and he ignored people.

At that moment, Yinzhen seemed to see himself a few years ago.

After the death of imperial concubine Tong Jiashi, she didn't know how to deal with herself, she was sad and didn't dare to be seen by others, she secretly cried with red eyes.

At that time, a plain handkerchief was handed over with one hand.

Then?Then she watched him care for seemingly unintentionally, watched him pretend to be vicious and executed Concubine Min's maid, watched him smile at the flowers in the Thousand Buddha Temple, watched him call himself "fourth brother", but became more and more cautious.

Yinzhen thought about this, smiled, got up and chased in the direction Yinxiang ran away.

Nine elder brothers' mansion, osmanthus courtyard.

Jiahui ordered Hongjia to be carried to the east room, her expression darkened.

Yuzhu knelt in front of Jiahui, and said in a low voice: "Miss, this servant did not hear me wrong, and I didn't have the guts to chew my tongue. That's what it said over there, that the purse I gave Yucui contained medicine for invigorating blood."

Su Momo blushed angrily, and said in a hateful voice: "It's really against the sky, I have already seen that she is not a law-abiding person, and now she dares to harm the little elder brother and Fujin!"

Chu Yun was also standing in the room, frowning tightly, Shu Fu Jin Wanyan's family had indeed passed this time.But now that Master Jiu is not at the house, how will the always talkative Fujin deal with this matter?
