Drunk Qingqiu

Babeile Mansion, the main house in the east courtyard.

Yuhua sat in front of the dressing table, raised her hands to straighten her temple hair, and picked out a ruby ​​pomegranate hairpin inlaid with pearls and emerald flowers to wear.The person in the mirror has a pink face and vermilion lips, and the slanted phoenix eyes look around, crystal clear, as if there is spring in it.At this moment, his red lips were slightly raised, and he looked at the other person in the mirror and said with a smile: "Master, Hongwang is almost one year old, and he is learning to recognize people and speak. This little appearance is very similar to your master. I like it and want to Carry him into my house to raise him. And, anyway, he is also the eldest son of the master, and he also calls me my mother, so that he doesn't pay enough attention to following Mrs. Zhang. What do you think?"

Yinhu was sitting at the kang table with wine and vegetables on it. Hearing this, he smiled slightly, "You can do whatever you want. I'm busy these days and only care about the outside. The inner courtyard has worked hard for you." I don't know, it's nothing more than seeing that she still can't give birth to a son, so she wants to inherit Hongwang under her own name.

In fact, Yuhua has been looking for folk remedies in private over the years, and even suspected Yinhu for a while.But after Kangxi pointed out that the two concubines came over, Mrs. Zhang became pregnant a few times, Yuhua secretly gritted her teeth and at the same time had to admit that it might be her own problem.

Yuhua was spoiled in every possible way since she was a child, and her temperament was the most aggressive and domineering. In the early years, in order to prevent Yinhu from taking concubines, she even made trouble in the palace.Later, when Kangxi saw that Yinhu had no heirs, he insisted on referring to two people.Yuhua had long thought that the two concubines were not pleasing to the eye, and set rules for them from time to time to make them stumble.However, Yinhu dotes on Fujin the only one, and hardly cares about the affairs of the inner court, and the two concubines can only bear with it.

Since Mrs. Zhang had a son, she has gained a lot of confidence, and she also has the appearance of a master in her own yard.The girls told Yuhua, Yuhua sneered a few times at that time, and now casually told Yinhu about the adoption.

When the goal was achieved, Yuhua sat down at the table with a smile and ate wine with Yinhu.She has always been a good drinker, but because she has too many things to deal with these days, she doesn't dare to eat too much, so she just brings some food to Yinhu from time to time, laughing and joking.The maids waiting around all lowered their heads and didn't dare to look too much. On weekdays, Bafujin looked beautiful and romantic, with a sweet mouth and a sweet smile. In fact, he was very powerful. Only in front of Yinhu would he act like a little girl.

After Yinhu had finished his meal, Qin Hai happened to come over and said that someone had come to the third elder brother's house.

Yinhu heard this, hurriedly said goodbye to Yuhua, and went straight to the study.After leaving the East Courtyard, Yinhu turned around and asked, "Who's coming from the third brother's side? What did you say?"

Qin Hai glanced left and right, and said softly: "Master, it's Gao Wu from Ninth Master's side who is here, and at Fujin, I just casually said that the third master's side is here."

Yinhu nodded in satisfaction, and when he heard that it was Gao Wu, his expression became solemn.

Yinhu walked to the study in a few steps, and Gao Wu, who was waiting in the room, saw him and quickly knelt down on one knee to salute: "Gao Wu has met the Lord...Baye."

Yinhu said directly, "Get up and talk, but what happened to Xiaojiu?"

Gao Wu nodded, and said: "Master Jiu locked himself in the study after he returned to the mansion, and later he recruited my elder brother and me to go over, saying that we should keep an eye on one person." Having said that, he took a look at Yinhu, He said hesitantly, "It's from the Eighth Master's residence."

A strange look appeared on Yinhu's face, "Who is Xiao Jiu going to stare at?"

Gao Wu didn't speak any more, just handed a note to Yinhu.After Yinhu looked at it, his face suddenly darkened.Gao Wu looked at his expression, and continued: "Ba Ye, it is good that this Taoist priest of Mingde can be used by you, but how could he not get along with Jiu Ye? Offending Jiu Ye will not benefit him at all. .”

Yinhu pondered for a moment, then looked up at Gao Wu, "How does Xiao Jiu plan to deal with this matter?"

"You also know that Jiuye sometimes has a big temper on the surface, but a little soft heart. This is rare, and he angrily said that he would find a way to get rid of this demon. However, this Taoist's words are also a bit outrageous, so don't blame Jiuye. "Gao Wu replied with his head bowed.

Yinhu's face was uncertain, he nodded for a while, and said: "Since Brother Jiu wants him, why don't you give Xiao Jiu a favor."

Gao Wu raised his head in surprise, although now he is more inclined towards Yinhu, he also knows the importance of Zhang Mingde to Yinhu.

"Baye, you—"

With a cold face and a little irritability in his eyes, Yinhu said, "It's not surprising. After all, Xiaojiu and I are brothers. Before I regret it, I will drive Zhang Mingde out during the day. When the time comes , you deal with it for me."

Gao Wu hurriedly lowered his head and responded: "Don't worry, Ba Ye, as soon as he comes out of your house, I will immediately arrest Jiu Ye."

Yinhu took a few more steps and asked, "What will Xiao Jiu do if he catches someone?"

Gao Wu was silent for a moment, and said: "It is said that he wants to be exiled, or imprisoned in Zhuangzi."

Yinhu smiled wryly and shook his head, "No, you listen to me about this matter, kill him directly, and remember to handle it properly. This person knows too many secrets, which cannot be used by me, and must not be left to others. Also, directly Say he ran away halfway, don't tell Xiao Jiu the truth." Gao Wu nodded and backed out.

On the same day, Yinhu kicked Zhang Mingde out of the mansion on the grounds that Zhang Mingde was bewitching people with his lies.

This move shocked many people, but many civil and military officials secretly breathed a sigh of relief and secretly thanked Yinhu.

Luan Tingfang rushed directly to Yinhu's study room, with a look of disbelief on his face, and asked loudly, "Ba Ye, why didn't you keep Zhang Mingde? You know how much he can help you!"

Yinhu put down the book in his hand, looked up at the ruddy young man, and raised his eyebrows: "Why, without him, sir, I wouldn't be able to get that seat?"

Luan Tingfang's eyes were red, she bit her lip hard, and looked at Yinhu speechless.It took a long time before he asked, "Just because he said a word about Master Jiu, are you going to give up such a talent?"

Yinhu's gentle face sank just now: "Ting Fang, you're taking too much care."

When Luan Tingfang turned around and ran out the door, Yinhu's face was still gloomy.He picked up the note brought by Gao Wu on the table, on which were a few words written by Zhang Mingde to Yinhu, and Yinhu murmured: "Cultivating Taoism, breaking the rules of cause and fate."

Zhang Mingde, no matter how many secrets you know, you shouldn't violate my taboo by touching the person I care about the most.If what you said is really effective, then I will kill you to destroy your second secret. As for the first one, I can do it myself.Although you know the secrets of the officials, it is of great benefit to use it for me, but I will never keep anyone who is hostile to Yinzhen by my side.

How can the karma that I maintain in every possible way and painstakingly manage be broken because of you.

.. ......

Ever since Yinyu met Zhang Mingde that day, he has been planning since returning to the mansion: Zhang Mingde is in Yinhu's mansion, so it seems inappropriate for Gao Wen Gaowu to assassinate him.Send someone to watch over Yinhu's mansion, and attack as soon as Zhang Mingde comes out?When he was worried, Zhou Zhongming, who went out to inquire, brought back good news: Zhang Mingde was kicked out of Babeile Mansion.

Yinhu was overjoyed for a moment, he couldn't figure out why Yinhu would do this, could he have finally sensed Kangxi's thoughts, no matter what, it was important to take this opportunity to solve the Taoist priest first, "Gao Wen, Gao Wu, you take the three brothers of the Zhou family to find him. Zhang Mingde, after finding it—"

"Ama!" Because Yinzhen didn't come back last night, Hongjia went straight to the study after returning from the palace.

Yinzhen stopped her mouth, the sharpness in Danfeng's eyes gradually faded away, she turned around and hugged Hongjia who was rushing towards her with a smile.He raised his eyebrows and glanced at the few people over there, Gao Wen Gao Wu and the others understood and retreated.

"Ama, why didn't you come back yesterday? Could it be that you, like Uncle Fourteen, learned to hide in the golden house outside?" Hong Jia questioned Yinzhen with his eyes hanging red and his face straining.

Yinzhen was speechless, Yinzhen was trying to indoctrinate Hongjia with something.

"Don't listen to your fourteenth uncle's nonsense." Yinzhen hesitated for a moment, touched Hongjia's small face and said, "Ama has already apologized to you too much, and there will be no other women."

Hong Jia looked at Yinzhen sideways for a long while, then suddenly smiled, the sorrow in his eyes turned into cunning, and said: "Ama said it herself, it must not be counted, I just don't want my brother."

Yinzhen was taken aback when he heard it, and looked at the little ghost hanging on his waist and asked in wonder, "How do you talk about this for no reason?"

Hongjia's small face wrinkled, "When I went to pay my respects to my grandmother today, my grandmother said that she hoped that I would have more brothers to support each other, so I don't want it."

Yinzhen smiled slightly and shook his head.

.. ......

Four Baylor House, study room.

Yin Zhen looked out of the window in deep thought, and asked slowly in a low voice: "You mean that after Zhang Mingde was kicked out, Xiao Jiu sent someone to deal with him?"

The black clothes bowed their heads and replied: "Yes, fourth master, we are not at ease after the ninth master's people leave, we went to confirm it."

Dai Duo next to him smiled and nodded: "Fourth Master, don't worry anymore, it's not a good thing to keep this Taoist priest. It's a good thing for Fourth Master that Eighth Master lacks an excuse to control all officials."

Yinzhen frowned and said nothing, "Why did Xiaojiu do this, he and Yinhu..." Yinzhen didn't know why, but felt inexplicably relieved.

The palace, the imperial study.

Kangxi looked at Zhezi in front of him, his face was full of anger.

"Everyone is grown up, but they don't worry about it! This group of rebellious sons are always fighting each other, or they just want to stand in my position. Now they even tricked a Taoist priest to deceive people!"

Zhang Tingyu replied cautiously: "Long Live Lord, Didn't Eighth Lord drive that Taoist priest out of the mansion?"

Kangxi snorted, "If he dares to keep him, I will never spare him. A Taoist priest who is holding on to all civil and military officials? What does he want to do if he keeps Yinhu? He is deliberately trying to make officials listen to him. Wouldn't it be more appropriate to give him the seat!"

Kangxi leaned on the kang, tapped his face with his fingers, and said after a long while: "The most hateful thing is that Yinzhen was also on Yinsi Zhuangzi that day. Xiaojiu usually doesn't like to stand in line. He still stands on the old Eight over there." When Kangxi said this, his expression was quite silent.

Then he said coldly: "Okay, okay, since they all pay attention to this matter, tomorrow will do what they wish, and a new crown prince will be registered."
