Drunk Qingqiu

(One)

Queen Mother has always been very kind to me, her words are always delicate and flat, orderly, and her care for me is also flat.But no one dared to disobey her intentions, even if they refuted it, she was a noble imperial concubine in the palace.A few years later, Huang Ama no longer established a queen, and she was already considered the head of the harem.A son is as valuable as a mother, and my elder brother is also honored.

At that time, I was vaguely proud and uneasy. I was sent to Jingren Palace to be raised.My biological mother is a concubine De, because the status is not high, and it is customary in the palace that after the prince is born, he will be raised by other concubines.

When I was five years old, I heard several maids in Jingren Palace discussing that the imperial concubine must wish to have a child of her own. Today I went to the Buddhist hall again. No matter how good these four princes are, they can’t compare to their own children. After all, blood is thicker than water.

Standing in the corner, I only feel dark in my heart, is that right?I dare not ask the Queen Mother.

I secretly went to the Changchun Palace of my biological mother, and now she has been conferred the title of Concubine De.I don't dare to come here more than to say hello.Because Erniang said, "Yinzhen, you don't need to come here often, if the imperial concubine gets married with you, it will be bad for both of us mother and child." Her expression was very indifferent, as if my presence or absence was actually the same.

When I came here this time, I quietly stopped the maid who wanted to report.Er Niang had her sixth younger brother Yinzuo last year. Because of frequent illnesses, she is still raised in the Changchun Palace.

Walking into the back room, Er Niang was hugging the sixth younger brother, coaxing him softly.The sixth brother kept crying and kicking his hands and feet, but Eniang coaxed him over and over again tirelessly.She looked at Liu Di with loving eyes that I had never seen before. When Liu Di was crying, her face was full of worry, and she kept asking the nurse next to her if she was hungry or cold.

After returning from the Changchun Palace, my heart suddenly churns. I have never seen such a gentle Er Niang, and the sixth brother rarely comes into contact with her.The words "mother" and "brother" suddenly became strange and distant.

The adoptive mother is looking forward to the biological child whose blood is thicker than water, while the biological mother believes that the grace of nurturing is greater than life.Only then did I realize that there was such a contradiction in my existence, and it was also from then on that I became irritable. Maybe this is why Huang Ama said that I was moody.

The Queen Mother didn't notice it, and she still taught me how to read and write as before. Every time after dinner, the mother and son would talk a few more words, and would ask me to add or remove clothes when it was cold.I also found happy things to make the Queen's mother happy, and played the same kind mother and son filial piety as before.

When I was six years old, I moved to the East Fourth School and started studying in Wuyi Zhai.

Because of the relationship with Huang Erniang, Huang Ama paid special attention to me, and specially instructed that my second brother and I should be brought up by him personally.So, in addition to going to Wuyizhai, we had to go to Huang Ama's Qianqing Palace to study every night.

Huang Ama is the person who stands at the top in this palace, or in this world, and I have deep admiration and respect in my heart.He has very strict requirements on me, and if I make a mistake, I will be reprimanded quite severely.But to be here, I feel very satisfied.

Later I found out that Huang Ama never reprimanded the second brother, and Yinfeng was indeed very good, and never let Huang Ama down every time.But even if he makes mistakes occasionally, Huang Ama will laugh it off.Yinfeng is the prince, and he stayed with Huang Ama for a longer time.Yinfeng is Huang Ama's favorite son.

So I studied harder, and Huang Ama occasionally praised me.He was also more filial to the Queen Mother, and went to pay his respects to his birth mother Concubine De according to the rules.I know I have a competitive side in my personality, but I never show it.Just like now, even though the three of them don't regard me as the closest person, I still have to work hard to make them respect me.

When I was nine years old, the thing I was most worried about happened, the Empress Empress became pregnant.

I will still go to pay her respects every day, care about her diet, and diligently ask the eunuchs and maids to take good care of the Queen Mother.After returning to the East Fourth Institute, I couldn't sleep well all night.I even had nightmares, and all the people stood looking at me from afar with indifferent eyes.

On this day, when I came back from the queen's mother's invitation, I thought of her stroking Xianhuai's belly with a happy smile on her face, and felt very uncomfortable, wandering around the imperial garden and taking a detour.The cold wind was blowing on my face, but I didn't feel it.

While walking with his head down, there was a scream in front of him.

Following the sound, a doll in snow-white fur was being hugged and coaxed by the nanny, but the little doll was kicking and beating all the time, clamoring to get down.Hearing the eunuch next to the doll calling Brother Jiu, this is Yinzhen from Yifei Palace.

I still know more or less about Concubine Yi.Because whether it is the adoptive mother or the biological mother, she is often mentioned. She is a very favored and hot-tempered person in the palace.Her youngest son is said to be habitual and invisible.

Seeing the panic on the other side, I secretly smiled.The little Yinzhen finally struggled out of the nanny's arms, running around on the ground like a round snowball.The small face with the big chin of the fur hat, and the tiny arms and legs are all very cute.

"Ah!" He screamed and bumped into a woman in plain clothes.Behind the woman was also followed by a handsome child, it was the eighth elder brother Yinhu who had only come to the study these few days.I know that this woman is a good nobleman, she was originally a criminal of Xin Zheku, her status is very low, she is not taken seriously even with her eighth elder brother Yinhu in the study, and she is even often bullied.

Yinzhen rubbed his reddened nose, with tears in his eyes, but yelled loudly, "Bold slave! Pull it down, fifty big boards!"

Everyone was stunned at the moment, Yinzhen was still young and ignorant, maybe he had seen too many examples of punishing slaves, but now he has learned a lot.

It's a pity that the current people are wrong. Mr. Lianggui is the master, and he is a master with a sensitive identity. In this way, the speaker has no intentions, but the listener is not the same. When Mr. Liang has a sad look on his face.Yinhu suddenly rushed out from behind, grabbed Yinhu's clothes, and lifted his feet off the ground.

The eunuchs behind Yinzhen were terrified. Although they looked down on the mother and son, they were also masters after all.Even if Concubine Yi could get it back afterwards, if Brother Jiu made a mistake, they would not be able to bear it.

The little Yinzhen was also frightened, struggling to pull a small whip from a young eunuch behind him, and threw the whip on Yinhu.

Mr. Liang didn't care about being sad, and felt sorry for his son, so he hurriedly pulled Yinhu back.Yinhu glared at Yinhu with fiery eyes, as if wishing to eat him, and was finally taken away by his mother-in-law.

Only then did I realize that such a scene actually made me temporarily forget the darkness in my heart. I walked out from behind the tree and came to Yinzhen who was struggling to breathe because of nervousness.He looked up at me, with doubts in his pitch-black phoenix eyes, and his small mouth slightly opened.

What a sweet boy, if I had a brother like that—the thought of my brother makes me feel sick again, and I want to lose my temper.

Looking down at Yinzhen, I tried my best to suppress the rising anger.I don't hate this domineering and ostentatious pretty kid, because looking at him, all the resentment and anger in my heart seem to be less.

Living freely in this palace is actually not easy, and one needs to pay too much.

Under the prompting of the eunuchs, Yinzhen called my fourth brother, with a soft and waxy voice, and saluted well.Although this little doll has a big temper, he is quite well-behaved.I picked him up and approached the dull pain.

Yinzhen was probably not used to it, so he kept twisting, and I wanted to laugh again.Brother, maybe this is what it feels like to be in your arms.

(two)

The pain in my heart gradually faded that day. The Empress had her own child. After all, I was still raising her under her name. Even if it was just on the surface, no one would neglect me.

However, this knot did not bother me for long.

Empress Empress gave birth to a daughter, I was secretly relieved.When greeting her in the past, I often saw the Queen Mother hugging the little Princess smiling happily, humming a melodious tune softly, and coaxing her to sleep.The number of times Huang Ama came to Jingren Palace also increased. I even saw Huang Ama laughing while being bitten by Little Gege several times.One day, when mine quietly pinched her face, she stared at her big black and white eyes, grinned with a toothless mouth, and drooled, even though she was ugly, I still felt very sweet.

In just a few months, this little Gege, who was spoiled by the two most noble people in the palace, was taken away by heaven.Huang Erniang's face was pale, and for the first time disregarding those rules and etiquette, she hugged Huang Ama and cried bitterly.

I am also very sad, when I have another close person in my heart, she is stingy and refuses to give us more time.I have become the only son of Empress Empress again, she attaches great importance to me and raises me very carefully, that's enough.

The next time I saw Yinzhen was the day when he was brought to the study by his fifth younger brother Yinqi. In front of the Wuyizhai gate, the thin and small Yinzhen bowed to me in an orderly manner.I saw that his eyes lit up when he saw me, but his feet took a small half step back, as if he was on guard against everyone.

I know that this child seems to be in conflict with the prince, because I and the prince are both studying at Huang Ama's place, and I do it on purpose, in the eyes of others, I am already considered half a princeling, regarding the prince's matter Naturally clear.It was said that it was for a little haha ​​bead, the ninth younger brother robbed the white prince in front of everyone, making a fuss.

A child who is too pampered cannot analyze the situation and is ignorant of current affairs, so it is inevitable to learn some lessons.Later, Yinzhen fell ill and stopped making trouble, but lost his original domineering attitude.Is this child going to become like me?

There is no doubt that Yinzhen is not outstanding in the study, he is even only slightly better than the old ten.Regardless of learning or martial arts, neither the teacher nor Huang Ama paid attention.

However, what surprised me was that Xiaojiu like this actually made the eighth brother let go of his prejudices and try his best to get close to him.Obviously the eighth brother has designed this silly ninth brother several times.

I don't like Yinhu.Although he is young, his mind is deep.In just two years, no one in Wuyizhai has troubled him anymore.Concubine Wen's ten elder brothers, Yinhu, were inseparable from him even more. Whether it was the prince's elder brother or the son of the accompanying minister, they all got along well with Yinhu.He is intelligent and outstanding, and he always smiles, appearing gentle and amiable.But I know that the darkness in his eyes is actually no different from mine.

It's just trying to win her over, Xiao Jiu is really stupid, she was hiding from Yinhu at the beginning, but she was still bewitched in the end.Such a silly child was really taught by that shrewd Concubine Yi?

I suddenly felt that Xiao Jiu seemed to be avoiding me all the time, and it was more obvious than that Yinhu who hurt him, why?

When I saw Xiaojiu practicing archery that day, I deliberately went up to teach him.Yinzhen seemed to want to hide, but smiled again, stood where she was, and thanked me indifferently and politely.

I secretly laughed in my heart. In the past two years, I simply kept my face cold and put on a mask.The eunuchs and maids in the palace are usually the most powerful, but they dare not mess with me.No one can read my thoughts anymore, not even my biological mother Concubine De.

When I was 11 years old, Huang Erniang finally ascended to the position of empress, and then died of a serious illness.This is tantamount to a bolt from the blue for me, my wings are not strong enough, and I haven't cultivated my own power yet.Her heart is not firm enough, even if there is no real warmth between mother and child, she is already the person who cares about me the most in this palace.Of course, Huang Ama also cares about his son, but he is the emperor, there are too many things waiting for him in this world, and it is very insignificant when it comes to me.

Looking at the faces of all kinds of people in the palace, those who are sad may not necessarily be really sad.I grabbed the door frame of Jingren Palace with all my strength, feeling great sadness in my heart.

After the death of the sixth younger brother Yinzuo, Concubine Eniangde was in deep sorrow for a long time, so the fourteenth younger brother who was just born a year ago was doted on wholeheartedly. Except for being busy with the queen's funeral, she didn't think of me at all, so I went Changchun Palace will only see her mother and son with the fourteenth brother.Years of indifference made our mother and child not know how to be considerate.My mother and I will never be like her and my fourteenth brother.

Sitting in the bushes, I looked in the direction of Jingren Palace, and silently recalled Empress Empress and the imperial sister who had only been with us for a few months. I didn't want to go to Jingren Palace, for fear of bringing back more memories.From now on, in this palace, I will really be alone.

A white handkerchief was handed in front of me, I raised my head, and the thin Yinzhen in front of me looked down at me, with worry and understanding in her black Danfeng eyes.He said: "Fourth Brother, Queen Mother loves you the most, she definitely doesn't want to see you like this."

Seeing that I took the veil but didn't speak, he hesitated for a while, and then comforted clumsily: "A powerful person like Fourth Brother will be able to share Huang Ama's worries in a year or two. , should also be gratifying."

I pulled him over, and regardless of the puzzled and surprised expression on Yinzhen's face, I held him in my arms. There are still people in this palace who care about me.

The aching part of my heart gradually felt warm, and it turned out that what I always wanted was the simplest family affection.

Xiao Jiu, who has restrained her sharpness, knows how to care and comfort others, and Xiao Jiu deeply attracts others no matter her appearance or personality.I finally know why the eighth brother is so deliberate in getting close to him, so clearly defending and wooing him.

Using the influence of Tong Jia's family left to me by Huang Erniang, I began to grow slowly.But Xiaojiu has already been pulled over by Yinhu and Yinqi, I can only regret helplessly.I was the first to notice you, but I took a step behind.

Year after year, seeing Yinzhen's relationship with them getting deeper and deeper, seeing Yinzhen's unique talent in business, seeing his cunning and kindness, the regret in his heart also deepened. There seemed to be a beast roaring alone and frantically in my heart.

I still go to concubine De to pay my respects every day, mother and son are polite and courteous, my fourteenth brother is not close to me, he is not even as good as Yinzhen, he will occasionally drag me to chatter.

In 38, Concubine Min, the mother of the thirteenth brother Yinxiang, went away.Seeing this child being left alone, like me back then, made me feel distressed.So I specially took care of him, just like the comfort Xiao Jiu gave me at that time.

This year, the ninth brother went to Jiangnan with Chen Tingjing, and Huang Ama sent me to announce the decree.Even if the journey is far away, I am willing to go, so that I can meet the ninth brother.

It just didn't occur to me that this was the case.Xiao Jiu was pressed on the bed by a young man, who was still biting on him with his head down.I shut the others out, only thinking that the young man deserved death.How could Xiao Jiu, who is noble and pure in my eyes, be defiled by such a person.I suppressed my anger so that I didn't strangle him to death in front of Xiao Jiu.

Xiao Jiu, who had been stripped to nothing, was pink all over her body, her thin red lips were slightly parted, and her eyes were steamy. She grabbed my sleeve and said, "Fourth Brother, help me." Such a Xiao Jiu , subconsciously seducing me.

I stood by the bed and hesitated, but my body started screaming crazily, calling a woman to help him?Looking for a man?no no!How could those people touch Xiao Jiu.By coincidence, I hugged him and bowed my head to kiss this person who has always been in my heart.

I was married two years ago, so I am naturally familiar with this matter.That wonderful taste made me almost reluctant to let go of him, even if the medicine gradually wore off, I still hugged him until the sky turned pale.

This can be regarded as taking advantage of others, but I don't regret it.In this way, the bond between Xiao Jiu and me will be deeper.

(three)

For me hugging Yinzhen, I have no regrets, except that I am slightly worried that such a proud ninth brother will not be able to accept it.Caressing his delicate and pale face, although I can't bear to let him suffer, I still have unspeakable joy in my heart.The person closest to the ninth brother is me, and no one can take him away.

Yinzhen has a feminine and beautiful appearance, loves money very much, but has a cold face and a warm heart, and treats people generously and kindly. This is the only warmth I felt in the palace when I was young.And because I can't get it, it seems more precious, and I care more and more about the person who gives me this warmth. This kind of care even surpasses everyone around me, even Defei and the fourteenth brother.However, our identities and the responsibilities we shoulder make me not self-willed.Then, for the sake of the people and the country, and to protect this warmth, try to stand at the top.

Only those who ascend to the throne are qualified to decide the fate of others.

In the Thousand Buddha Temple, under the bodhi tree, Yinzhen in blue is holding a flower and smiling. This is the most beautiful and pure picture I have ever seen.Whether it is a god or a demon, if there is any disaster, the fourth brother will naturally protect you.

Yinhu had a cold war with Brother Jiu several times, but Xiao Jiu still stood willingly by his side, this confused and soft-hearted Xiao Jiu, why wouldn't he turn his head to look at the person standing behind him, why never look in my eyes Who is there.

Brother Jiu is not a qualified Baye Party. When Suo'etu deliberately framed him, Xiao Jiu probably brought me out without even thinking about it. I can only hint to my people not to come out.

When I arrived at my house, the rescuer passed out first, and I served him the hangover soup with a wry smile.When the ninth brother rushed over to hug me and kissed him by Fujin's name, I hesitated a little, but of course I didn't refuse, and followed him to deepen the kiss, magnanimously letting him do whatever he wanted.

The beautiful phoenix eyes are wet and blurred, his face is red, if he doesn't follow his will, he will have a little temper, and the tentacles on his white body are slippery.

"Hurry up, take off your clothes." He was probably quite dissatisfied with his nakedness, and pulled my clothes, and I helped him undo the buttons on my robe as he wished.

When Xiao Jiu overwhelmed me, I laughed lightly, and my hands had already touched his slender waist to his buttocks.

"what!"

I got up and blocked his mouth, hugged him with my left hand, and stretched my right hand.When I hugged him and turned over, there was a trace of doubt in Xiao Jiu's eyes on the bed.Kissing his eyes and eyebrows thinly, I couldn't help it anymore.

The drunk Xiaojiu is so cute and alluring.

On the second day, Xiao Jiuyi pretended to be confused, so I didn't make things difficult for him.

In the court hall, more and more people stood on Yinhu's side, and the prince's heart became more and more uneasy. When people are uneasy, it is easy to do wrong things.There are many things that I can't fix.I actually had a premonition in my heart about Yinfeng's being abolished.I'm not worried that Yinhu will take the position because of this, Yinhu figured it out and catered to the minds of the cultural relics officials, but Huang Ama was left out.On this point, he will not win me.

The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.

Of course, it is one thing to understand this truth, but it is another thing to see the scene where hundreds of officials in the court jointly recommend Yinhu.As for the fourteenth brother Yinzhen, he also tried his best to recommend Yinhu. He is getting farther and farther away from me, and the eighth brother is more like a brother.My heart was raised tightly.Could it be that these years of forbearance are about to fail?

Huang Ama vetoed the recommendation of all officials, and Yinhu was warned.My heart was relieved, and I saw Xiao Jiu looking at Yinhu worriedly again.For Yinhu, he even stood by my side.

When the prince was abolished for the second time, he learned that Yinzhen was trapped by Yinfeng.I was so anxious that I didn't care about the appearance of obeying Huang Ama's orders and aloof from the world, so I rushed to Changchun Garden, but saw Xiaojiu in the rain holding Yinhu, the joy and happiness on his face were so obvious.

I stood silently for a moment, then left.As long as Xiao Jiu is safe.

In front of the Buddha, I held a rosary in my hand, but I couldn't calm down.Yinhu, you have a mother who cares about you, you have tenth and fourteenth brothers who really care about you, even all the officials are on your side.You have everything, why do you want to take Jiudi away from me?

My dissatisfaction with Yinhu is getting deeper and deeper, and I am secretly growing my power.Huang Ama finally saw my efforts.He took my fourth son Hongli to Changchun Garden, and began to hand over many government affairs to me.By 61, most of the people in Changchun Garden belonged to me.

That throne can actually distort a person's character.I began to understand what the second brother said at the time, it was the crown prince who harmed him.

I began to control the people Huang Ama could see, and secretly held most of the military power in my hands.Even if my name is not on Huang Ama's imperial edict, it doesn't matter.

That day, when Yinzhen came to see Huang Ama, I didn't stop him after all.Standing outside the door, listening to Yinzhen's words of praise, he didn't take the opportunity to say that I'm covering the sky with one hand.Perhaps, Xiao Jiu also has me in her heart.

I finally ascended to that seat, and logically hid Xiao Jiu in my palace.Yinzhen is unhappy, I know, but I dare not let him out.Maybe, when the people who can affect him are gone, Xiao Jiu can really stay with me.Sitting alone in Jiangshan is too lonely after all.

(four)

However, I have to admit that the life I look forward to the most is more like a disaster for Xiao Jiu.

I kept looking at him, focusing on his emotions, when I smiled in front of Xiao Jiu, I even saw the surprise and fear in the eyes of the palace people.

And Xiao Jiu just kept paying attention to Lao Ba.

Jealousy and certain other emotions made my complexion more and more gloomy, and seeing Yinhu became more and more unpleasant, accompanied by criticism and reprimand.Then looking at Xiao Jiu's distressed eyes made his heart hurt even more.

Only when I hold him, I feel that Xiao Jiu is beside me, in my arms.That wet and fiery combination made me obsessed, Xiaojiu's slender Danfeng eyes lost the usual shrewdness and calculations, and the eyes that looked at me were full of blurred desires, and he only had me in his eyes.

At this time, I would think: Xiao Jiu actually likes me as the fourth brother.Forget it, let them do everything, Yinhu couldn't move anymore, and the fourteenth and tenth boys didn't move anymore.

However, Yinhu went at this time.I didn't have the joy I expected at all, and anxiously turned my head to look at Yinzhen who was sitting blankly on the bed.He is leaving me!I don't allow it!

I let people watch Xiao Jiu, but kept secrets. When I went to the Queen's Palace, Xiao Jiu left.

A letter was quietly waiting for me on the table. His business was handed over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and he also left his son and wife in Beijing.I know that if Hongli hadn't kept Hongjia in the palace, he would be reluctant to part with this most precious son.

So I told Hongli to keep Hongjia in prison and never let him leave the capital.Although Hongli was inexplicable, he was unexpectedly enthusiastic about this errand.

Then, Bafujin entered the palace and told everything. Yinhu did not die, but he took Xiaojiu away.

Why didn't I think of it?At that moment, the hatred in my heart couldn't even control myself.

But when I heard Ba Fujin laughing and saying that those two people were injured, I calmed down again.Yuhua's hatred is no less than mine, she even wished for both of them to die, I ordered her to commit suicide.No matter how much I hate her, I don't want Xiao Jiu to get hurt.

……

This year, someone finally brought back his news. I worked continuously for several days and nights, and dealt with most of the memorials and state affairs, and entrusted the rest to Zhang Tingyu, who secretly went to Jiangnan.

In the Qinhuai River in May, the fireworks follow the running water, and the tenderly singing birds dance among the apricot blossoms on the branches.

However, what is most famous here is not the picturesque Jiangnan spring scenery, but the exquisitely lit boats on the Qinhuai River at night, and the famous actress who speaks softly with Wu Nong and has a charming figure.In the sound of silk and bamboo, the suave young man who spends a lot of money likes to call friends on the painting boat, drink wine and compose poems.

When it comes to painting boats, everyone knows the largest Caixia Square on the Qinhuai River.The beautiful and talented girl Ruyi is in the Caixiafang. I don’t know how many guests come here, holding silver in both hands.

Tonight, Caixiafang announced that it would not accept customers for these two days, which disappointed all the men who claimed to be romantic.

As a result, sharp-eyed people discovered that there seemed to be someone in Caixiafang who said they would not accept customers.Immediately, someone became dissatisfied and yelled: "Who is this short-sighted person, who dares to touch the bad luck of my grandfather when he celebrates his birthday? No, I must visit Caixiafang today!"

"That is, we can't go, why can he go up?"

"Come on, let's go and have a look!"

"..."

"Master, it seems that our boat will be in trouble for a while, and there seems to be trouble ahead." The man in black asked respectfully the man standing at the bow. He and the purse, with a cold face, and an indescribable majesty all over his body.After a while, the man hummed, still looking up in the direction of Caixiafang.

On Caixia Square, a young man in blue was lazily leaning against the railing, holding a celadon cup in his hand, and drinking the wine in the cup with his head raised.When a hand as white as jade fell on the table, the beautiful girl at the side refilled it for him.

Glancing at the painting boats gathered outside, she carefully looked at the young man in blue who was squinting at the moon. The girl lowered her neck and said softly, "Master Wu, it's windy outside, why don't you go inside?"

The young man withdrew his gaze, and said with a smile, "Well, my elder brother is not here, and I am bored. I didn't expect to come to this music hall and get into trouble. We are businessmen, and we pay attention to making money with harmony. This is not good."

The girl smiled and said: "Look at what you said, without any backing, it can be called the first boat on the Qinhuai River. Don't worry, if no one comes on it, they will be stopped by the mother."

However, someone still got on the boat, and a young man in brown clothes came up full of vigor and pointed at the young man in blue clothes who was leaning on the railing, "Where did the boy who didn't understand the rules come from, and he didn't even ask Caixiafang to be anyone." Can it be arranged? I am the nephew of the prefect of Jiangning. Today my grandpa celebrates his birthday. I must be with you. If you are sensible, kid—”

The nephew of the prefect of Jiangning, before finishing his sentence, had already come to him, staring blankly at the young man in blue, speechless.

The girl next to him sighed leisurely, this girl is Ruyi, she knows how he feels, and when she saw this young master of the Wu family for the first time, she was also dumbfounded.

Taishao's nephew seemed to have thought of something, and immediately changed his expression, stepped forward with a slight smile, and said in a polite and polite tone: "Young master, let's go to Jiangning Zhuoyan, this, this young master can see it at first glance. Since you have come from afar, why don’t you be my host and invite you for a glass of water and wine.”

While talking, he leaned towards the young man in blue. The young man in blue frowned, but before he could say anything, two huge shadows shot up into the sky from the high boat, singing with a clear voice.

One of them rushed towards Zhuo Yan, the young man in blue. Before Zhuo Yan could see what the huge shadow was, he had already been blown off by a wing and fell into the water.

The servant of the Zhuo family immediately opened the pot, and the boat painters nearby were also looking for the figure of the eunuch's nephew who fell into the water.

And on that inconspicuous boat, the man in the navy blue robe trembled slightly, pointing to the boat: "It's definitely him! Hurry up, surround that boat."

The young man in blue might feel bored, and someone beside him said in a low voice: "Master Wu, I have someone tell you that you can't make it tonight, so you can go directly to Suzhou."

The young man surnamed Wu stretched his waist and said, "Forget it, let's take a step first, the people don't fight with the officials. If the prefect becomes angry from embarrassment, we can't afford to offend him."

Saying this, someone answered the conversation flatly: "Oh? Is there anyone in this world that you can't afford?"

The young man in blue seemed to be very familiar with the person who came. He only listened to the voice, his body froze, and he suddenly turned to look at the door. A man with a cold face, stern and vague anger in his eyes was walking in.

Ruyi is the head of the Qinhuai Huaihuai Huakui, so she naturally knows how to advance and retreat, when she sees the man in the navy blue robe come in, she gets up to salute, and after serving tea herself, she retreats respectfully.

The rare look of panic on the face of the young man in blue had subsided, he looked at the person in front of him with a smile, and called out, "Fourth brother."

The man in the navy blue robe is the current Long Live Yinzhen, and the blue-clothed youth is Yinzhen, whose pseudonym is Wu You.

After hearing this sentence of fourth brother, Yinzhen stared deeply at Yinzhen, and finally snorted: "You still know that I am your fourth brother!" Bright eyes, with familiar warmth, delicate and white skin, slightly curved mouth corners.Over the years, he seemed to have remained the same as when he first left the palace, only more gentle and beautiful.Come to think of it, his life was going well.

Yinzhen's heart was in pain, and a deep yearning flooded from his bones.He walked a few steps, arrived in front of Yinzhen, and hugged the person in front of him.

Yinzhen struggled a little, noticed the trembling of Yinzhen's body, pursed the corners of his mouth, sighed, and stopped moving.

He said: "Fourth brother, I always tell you that the body is the most important thing. Look at you, you only worry about state affairs all day long, but I haven't heard that you think about yourself and relax. It's Huang Ama who needs to pay attention every year. Go out and play a few times."

Yinzhen hugged Yinzhen, listening to his nagging, suddenly felt happier than ever before.From time to time, he gave a short answer or two, most of the time he stared at Yinzhen, as if he wanted to engrave him in his heart.

"Xiao Jiu, if fourth brother takes you back—" Yinzhen looked firmly at Yinzhen, the only person who was so close to him, and said.

Yinzhen smiled wryly when he heard the words, and said, "Fourth brother, I'm used to this kind of life, I can't bear it if I go back."

Yinzhen was stunned for a moment, thinking that Yinzhen, who was locked in the palace, had never had the look she has today.His hand holding Yinzhen tightened again, until his fingers turned white.

After a long time, the emperor suddenly said in a low voice: "I regret it very much, and I have always wanted to ask, Xiao Jiu, if I was the one who got close to you first, would the fourth brother be the one in your heart?"

Yinzhen looked at Yinzhen, the wariness and slight fear in his eyes when he saw the emperor before had disappeared, and he said gently: "Fourth brother, there is no if. I don't want to live a life in the center of power struggles. Sooner or later I will They will all leave the capital. Moreover, I knew that the fourth brother would ascend to the throne at a very early age, which you cannot imagine. And I know that you will be a good emperor, and the responsibilities on your shoulders do not allow too much personal affair .At that time, I knew that sooner or later we would be separated." After all, he didn't say it was impossible.

"As for the starling, the feelings accumulated over time when I was a child cannot be erased by a few words. Although I also have dissatisfaction and complaints towards the starling, but he... and my leg was seriously injured back then, and I could hardly walk anymore. It was the starling who took care of me all the time. "Speaking of Yinhu, there was imperceptible warmth in Yinhu's tone.

Yinzhen was stunned, and said: "How could it be, I had already put Yuhua—"

Yinzhen was stunned, he suddenly understood what Yinzhen had done for him, he pulled Yinzhen's hand, telling him to stop talking, "I don't know what's going on, after so many times, just Never again, fortunately, I am blessed with great destiny."

Yinzhen stared blankly at the smile on Yinzhen's face, stretched out his hand to caress his face, and said for a long time, "This time, I won't take you back. If you want to come back one day, brother four will wait for you." Maybe, next time I see you again, I still can't help but take you back.

Yinzhen laughed, "When I become an old man, how can fourth brother recognize me?"

"I'll wait for you no matter how late it is, whether it's thirty, forty, or sixty, remember my words, Xiaojiu, fourth brother has been waiting for you."

The next day, Yinzhen left, and there were two sea dongqings, one black and one white, flying in the sky.

Yinzhen watched his back silently, clutching the palms of his hands tightly so as not to rush forward to bring him back.

The rivers and lakes are far away, so take care of the ninth brother.

Since then, Emperor Yongzheng went to Jiangnan privately from time to time. As for who he met and what he did, only the Long Live Lord himself knows.
