Drunk Qingqiu

When Yinzhen was dragged by the fifth elder brother Yinqi to Yanxi Palace to greet Concubine Yi, he felt uneasy again.Concubine Yi is Yinqi and Yinzhen's biological mother. He hasn't seen her since he came here. She knows her son like her mother. Going to see this legendary Concubine Yi makes Yinzhen feel pressured and guilty.

He still got the impression of Concubine Yi from a certain TV series, she was like Feng Jie in Dream of the Red Chamber, pungent and scheming, but with various styles, she was quite Kangxi's favorite.

Yinqi's personal eunuch and Zhang Xi followed behind and walked through the long red wall. Yinqi looked at him who was getting more and more nervous, and couldn't help laughing: "I don't see you so obedient on weekdays. What trouble did you get into?" I can't hold it any longer, I'm afraid my mother will find out?"

Yinzhen was embarrassed, tugged at his sleeves, and looked around with a smirk: "No, I'm just afraid that Erniang will blame me for not coming to pay my respects for several days."

"Tsk tsk, seeing that you have suffered from this illness, you have woken up and made progress." Yin Qi held back a smile and looked at him.

At this time, he had already arrived at the gate of Yanxi Palace, the eunuch outside saw him, and hurried over to say hello: "I have seen the fifth elder brother and the ninth elder brother, the empress was still reading just now, and the two elder brothers came over."

Yin Qi pulled him into the door.

There is a bright red carpet, incense is burning in the censer, and delicate purses and beautifully curved Ruyi are placed on the couch.The room is magnificent, with two porcelain vases one person tall placed by the wall.

"Yinqi pays respects to Erniang." Yinqi pulled Yinzhen for a moment, and went forward to salute.

Yinzhen came back to her senses and found a woman in a goose-yellow palace dress sitting on it, and the large white jade peonies on the flag set off her extraordinary wealth.She doesn't know her age, and it can be said that she doesn't look like a mother of two children at all.With phoenix eyes slanting, he smiled without saying a word.With a bright face, she is full of beauty and spirit, this is Concubine Yi.It seems that there is a reason why my mother has always been favored by Kangxi.

Busy imitating Yin Qi's way of paying respects: "Yintang pays respects to E Niang."

"Xiao Jiu is getting better? Come here quickly, let Er Niang take a look. I haven't seen you for a few days, I want to die Er Niang."

Yinzhen hesitated for a moment, then walked over.Yin Qi still watched with a smile from behind, and said, "Er Niang is biased, why do you only think about Xiao Jiu?"

Concubine Yi smiled and glanced at Yinqi, "Why is Yinqi not in good shape today." As she spoke, she pulled Yinzhen who was in front of her, and hugged her in her arms for a closer look: "Look, a few days I lost a lot of weight without seeing it."

While talking, he touched Yinzhen's face with his hands, with concern and distress in his eyes, Yinzhen's heart softened, and parents in the world don't care about their children.After thinking about it, she smiled and said, "Emiang, Yinzhen is already healed, so I need to worry about you."

Concubine Yi looked at him and smiled, pointing at his forehead: "You are so good, Xiao Jiu, do you want to ask Er Niang again?" She winked to the left and right as she said, and the maid beside her immediately took him away. The others backed out.

In the room, only Concubine Yi, Yinqi, Yinzhen were left in the room, and there was another court lady behind Concubine Yi, she seemed to be extremely trustworthy.

Seeing that there were no outsiders, Concubine Yi frowned, and still pulled Yinzhen and said, "Xiao Jiu, it's all right with Er Niang on weekdays. Anyway, Er Niang will protect you and make decisions for you. How did you go, brother?" So, your temper got worse and you beat your personal eunuch to death?"

When Yinzhen heard this, his head grew dizzy immediately, and he shouted in his heart, can I have the leeway to call the shots at that time?But if you want to go back and think about it, you can't say it.Thanks to himself, the dumb man was determined, he lowered his head, and Yinzhen didn't speak.

Concubine Yi sighed, and patted him again: "Emiang knows your temper, so forget it this time, and don't be so reckless next time."

Yinzhen hurriedly replied: "Emiang, don't worry, Yinzhen understands."

"Hurry up and choose another little eunuch tomorrow, and don't blame Er Niang for saying you, your Huang Ama didn't particularly dote on you because of your fun-loving temper, and if you let him know about it, I'm afraid —" Concubine Yi frowned again.

"Er Niang, don't worry, Ninth Brother is smart and intelligent, Huang Ama will definitely like Xiao Jiu in the future." Seeing E Niang's sadness, Yin Qi hurriedly tried to persuade her.

Yinzhen looked at Concubine Yi and comforted her: "It doesn't matter whether Huang Ama likes me or not, as long as I have Er Niang and Fifth Brother."

Concubine Yi was annoyed by him, and scolded him: "What kind of stupid words are you talking about? If you don't work hard, your Empress Ama doesn't like you. What will you do in the future?"

Yinzhen blinked, what should I do?Isn't it just trying to stay away from Jiulong to seize the heir, it is best to hide from the capital and stay away from right and wrong?

"Yinzhen said it, please don't be angry. Yinzhen doesn't like to be a civil servant, nor does she like to be a general. I just hope that I can go, go into business, and earn a lot of money." While trying to figure out how to say it properly, Looking at Concubine Yi and Yin Qi, both of them looked at him in surprise.This is also the way he came up with for several nights. After doing business and leaving the palace, he can easily survive in the Qing Dynasty in the future.If he doesn't need to rely on Emperor Yongzheng for support, he can't control himself.Moreover, Yinzhen was also the richest prince in history.

Concubine Yi is also a woman, a woman in the harem, and a favored concubine, how could she not hope that her son would be the one who would rule the world.

The fifth elder brother Yinqi has a gentle and obedient personality, the ninth elder brother has been naughty and clever since he was a child, and his son hurts himself, so of course she thinks it is good.But Kangxi didn't extend his love for her to his son. If the two brothers are fighting for their strengths, and he and his mother's family have the power of the yellow flag, why can't they realize their wish?

Yinqi stood aside, watching his concubine mother get angry, she didn't dare to speak, but just watched quietly.Doing business is not a glorious thing, and since the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, in order to strengthen the rule, there have been express regulations that people in the Banner are not allowed to do business, work or farm. .

Concubine Yi slapped the table next to her with her left hand wearing a twisted silk ruby ​​bracelet, "What are you talking about?! Don't tell me you're going to do business like an elder brother? Isn't it clear that you want to disgrace the emperor and your ancestors! "

Yinzhen shrank back a bit, but continued to say: "But, Er Niang, Yinzhen just thinks that wealth is more practical than power."

Concubine Yi's face was already blue, but before she could get angry, the door suddenly creaked and was pushed open.

"Oh? Everyone in the world loves power and fame. Then tell me, why is wealth more practical than power?" A male voice with a deep majesty and unparalleled momentum appeared at the door.

Concubine Yi was startled, then shook her hands, stood up, and blessed herself: "I have seen the emperor." Yin Qi also knelt down: "My son kowtowed to Huang Ama." The maid had already knelt behind Concubine Yi.

Yinzhen groaned secretly, Kangxi was the most famous patriarch of the Qing Dynasty, knowledgeable and wise, wise and unparalleled, lying in front of him?Then he really has to weigh his little head.But why did he choose to appear on the stage when he expressed his wish to Concubine Yi and was ready to do it once and for all? Now, how can he fool him?

Yinzhen, who was kneeling on the ground, didn't even dare to lift her head, thinking bitterly how to say something that would not affect Concubine Yi but also achieve her wish.

A pair of boots with black forging gold thread stopped in front of his eyes, further up was a crimson colored tuanlong dark brocade uniform, further up one side hung silk thread wearing jade, the other side was a flat gold embroidered purse, and further up...

Yinzhen didn't dare to look at it. In fact, since just now, he has been lying on the ground and has not dared to move. He used his eyes to see this.

"Yinzhen, I'm waiting for your explanation of what you said just now." Kangxi repeated it again, still in a low tone, unable to hear any emotion or anger.

Yinzhen had no choice but to speak carefully: "Huhuang Ama, since my son was studying with the master, I have heard the master say that the country is rich and the people are strong. Yinzhen privately understands that the country is rich, the nation is strong, and the people are healthy."

"I often hear others mention that the capital city is the most prosperous place in the world, but some places suffer from natural disasters, and the people are poor and helpless. They can't even guarantee food and clothing. My son can't imagine it."

"Huang Ama is wise and powerful, the country is prosperous, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. You have the most intelligent civil servants in the world to advise you, and you have very powerful generals to protect the family and the country. Since Yinzhen knows the life of the people, he hopes to go into business. Huang Ama accumulates wealth." Khan, this, it's okay, forgive him for his lack of words, but the reason seems to be very high-sounding, even if this statement is wrong, Kangxi should not blame Yifei and himself.

There was silence in the room, and Kangxi suddenly pulled Yinzhen up, patted his shoulder with a big hand, and said loudly: "Okay! Okay!"

"Yinzhen, your ambition is very good. Huang Ama promises you that you can make an exception and become an imperial merchant when you become an adult!"

Yinzhen only reached Kangxi's waist, at this moment he looked up at this handsome and domineering emperor who looked like a young man, and opened his mouth wide.

Kangxi laughed loudly, went to sit next to Concubine Yi, looked at Yinzhen and said with a smile, "Stupid?"

"My son thanked the emperor Ama." Yinzhen was very excited. Although this seems to be following the history, it will be beneficial in the future. In the eyes of Kangxi, he will no longer be suspected of competing for the throne. It is impossible for the prince to become the emperor.

In the future, I will slowly shift my focus to doing business. It is best to spend most of the year outside the palace, caring for life and staying away from the princes.

"Concubine Yi, you raised a good son. Although his ambition is a bit... strange, he is still a good prince who cares about the Qing Dynasty." Kangxi looked at Concubine Yi with a smile, and picked up the new tea in hand.

"Speaking of which, during my southern tour at the beginning of the year, when I passed by Yangzhou, the people greeted me with lanterns and festoons, but the people around me had patches on their clothes, and some people couldn't keep their meals. I feel sad, and all the counties and counties in the future must not follow suit. Yangzhou, for fear of wasting the people and money.”

"I also thought of the heavy floating grains in the south of the Yangtze River and the hard work of the trackers. Although these words Yinzhen said are naive, they are also very reasonable."

Concubine Yi sees that Yinzhen has already said in front of the emperor that she wants to start a business, and there is no hope of competing for the reserve.But the emperor praised Brother Jiu again, and his heart was full of mixed feelings for a while, so he had to agree with what Kangxi said on the surface.

When Kangxi was happy, he ordered to have dinner in Yanxi Palace, and both the ninth elder brother and the fifth elder brother were kept.

After dinner, when the two of them left, Kangxi said unhurriedly: "Xiao Jiu, I don't object to you saying that you are willing to do business, but this cannot be an excuse for you to waste your studies. Next time, master Tell me again, and I will never forgive you."

Yinzhen dripped sweat, replied yes respectfully, and left.
