[Qing Chuan] Have a meal in the harem

The next day, the fourth elder brother and his wife entered the palace together to pay their respects to Concubine Yi.

Concubine Yi was lying on the couch, beside Tai Fen Zhu and Er Lin Zhu, the two sisters were serving medicine while the other was supporting Er Niang, and they cooperated tacitly.

Like her elder sister, Er Linzhu stayed and married in the capital. She was also granted the title of Princess Heshuo and married back to the Tong family.

"The fourth brother is here. You, Fujin, said that you have been very busy recently, and Er Niang hasn't seen you for a while." Seeing the fourth elder brother, Concubine Yi laughed.

For the son raised under her knees, she is 100 million satisfied in her heart, filial and capable, and considerate of her mother and sisters. It couldn't be more perfect.

Hearing the surprise and longing in her tone, the fourth elder brother said shamelessly: "It's all my son's fault, but because I'm busy with official duties, I haven't come to see Er Niang for many days. Tired Er Niang is sick..."

Waving her hand, Concubine Yi didn't care and said, "I'm not in my seventies or eighties, so I don't need you to serve me all the time. Besides, your wife, Tai Fenzhu and Elinzhu are all here, so it doesn't matter if you come or not." ..."

Every mother knows that this child only thinks about it when he can't see it, but when he sees it, he starts to get annoyed.

After thinking about it, she felt that these words were a bit straightforward, and Concubine Yi added: "Emiang naturally knows your heart best, but since you are busy with business, it's too late for Emiang to be happy for you, so why would you blame me?"

The fourth elder brother consciously ignored the previous sentence, and smiled and said: "Emiang is considerate of my son, my son is very grateful, and I will definitely go to the palace to accompany my mother more in the future."

Concubine Yi smiled and nodded, then raised her hand to call the couple to sit down, and asked the maid to serve refreshments.

She asked: "May I go to greet the Empress Dowager first?"

Si Fujin: "I've been there, the empress dowager stayed and said a few words, and then let the fourth master and my concubine come to see her."

Concubine Yi said again: "Remember to go to Yongshou Palace to visit Concubine Wen later and congratulate her. It is a great joy for Xiaoshi's daughter-in-law to be pregnant..."

Fourth elder brother: "My son thinks the same way. After serving Erniang with medicine and taking a rest, my son will take Fujin to greet Wen Erniang."

E Linzhu, who had been silent all this time, smiled and said, "I will go with my fourth brother and fourth sister-in-law."

Tai Fenzhu gently massaged Concubine Yi's forehead, while pursing her lips and said with a smile: "I just went to Yongshou Palace yesterday to pay my respects, so I won't go today, I will stay here with my mother."

The three brothers and sisters chatted a few more homely things, and cared about each other's body, the studies and health of the children at home...

No matter what they said, Concubine Yi listened with a smile on her face.

……

In Yongshou Palace.

Seeing the fourth child, Er Linzhu and the others, Yimin was not surprised, but said with a smile: "I knew you would come here today, and I have already prepared your favorite pastries..."

The fourth elder brother and Er Linzhu laughed together.

If they want to say that their favorite place in this palace, it is naturally Wen Erniang's Yongshou Palace. In Yongshou Palace, they almost don't have to follow any rules. Whether she chats or eats, she is extremely happy.

Several people ate snacks around the small table. During the conversation, the fourth elder brother solemnly expressed his gratitude to Yimin.

Yimin laughed and said: "You kid is too serious, it's just a word, there's no need for you to thank me like this."

Er Linzhu, who didn't know the cause and effect very well, after Sifujin explained in a low voice, also said with a smile: "Yes, fourth brother, you are too polite, you can forget it with others, why are you polite with Wen Erniang?" ?”

She put her body close to Yimin, with a bright smile on her face, "Isn't that right, Miss Wen Er?"

Yimin smiled helplessly: "Yes, yes, you are the smartest!"

Er Linzhu is simply the one with the biggest heart among all the children. She has never known what politeness is to her elders who are close to her. Every time she comes to Yongshou Palace, there will be less things in Yimin's warehouse.

But the fourth prince said at this time: "I was in Erniang Palace just now, so I didn't ask you."

His eyes were serious, "Yesterday, I heard the report from below that Shun Anyan took another concubine and hadn't set foot in the Princess Mansion for many days, but is it true?"

While speaking, there was a hint of anger in his eyes, and he was extremely dissatisfied with this brother-in-law!

Er Linzhu raised his eyebrows, said 'Yo', and said, "No way, fourth brother, you still let people stare at him? I didn't care about it long ago. I just treat things in the mansion as a joke now." Look, if you are unhappy, take it out and have fun."

She really doesn't care. In her opinion, the greatest meaning of the existence of the forehead is to allow her to go out of the palace and live the life she wants to live. The rest of the relationship between husband and wife, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law... ...none of it is worth caring about.

Anyway, she is a princess and has her own princess mansion. For these people, if they get along well, then they will see more. she.

In turn, she comforted the fourth elder brother and said: "Fourth brother, I know you love me and feel that I am wronged, but I don't feel wronged myself. It is good for Shun Anyan to be like this, otherwise if he gets along with me well, I will be in the way Love, you have to be patient with Tong's family, how can you be as happy as you are now?"

Seeing the fourth elder brother sighing slightly, Er Linzhu smiled and said nothing.

She knew that both Erniang and Fourth Brother hoped that she would have a stable relationship with her brother-in-law like the third sister, respect and love each other, and live a peaceful and beautiful life.

But people are different, at least from her point of view, her current life is very good, she listens to music, goes to the theater every day, and goes to the outskirts of Beijing for outings when she has nothing to do. A lot of beautiful brocade clothes and silk jewelry, it couldn't be more perfect.

Yimin listened for a while, then smiled at the fourth elder brother, "It's good that you know how to take care of your sister, but Erinzhu is not a child anymore, so she knows how to live her life."

"Besides...with her temperament, if there is really something that needs your help, do you think she will be polite or embarrassed to ask?"

If Yi Min said, Er Linzhu would definitely be a playboy if he changed his mind a bit. No one knows how to please himself better than her, so worrying about her is completely superfluous.

Er Linzhu nodded again and again, feeling that Wen Erniang knew her best, "Yes, if there is anything wrong, I will definitely ask Fourth Brother for help as soon as possible."

Touching her head, Yi Min smiled brightly, but actually sighed inwardly.

Er Linzhu's personality is actually more suitable for marrying on the grassland. With the two sisters Aya and Uxiha around her to protect her, and Daqing behind her, that is the real freedom.

It's just... Concubine Yi couldn't bear it.Only then did she try her best to marry her to Tong's family, but the final result was: disharmony between husband and wife, conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, dirty sister-in-law...

And... not only Er Linzhu and the Tong family have a bad relationship, but even Concubine Yi, because of her daughter, has gradually become separated from her natal family, and is no longer as close as before.

In the end, it didn't look like they were getting married, but rather like they were getting married.

……

Kangxi 46 years, June.

Kangxi, who had been wandering for six months, finally returned with his large army.

Coincidentally, Concubine Yi recovered from her illness not long ago, and Yimin happily left all the palace affairs and holding the welcoming ceremony to her, and started a happy life of salted fish again.

Chengqian Palace.

Seeing the pile of things that Zhuo Yuan brought back for her, Yimin smiled, picked up a simple and elegant silk flower and stroked it on her hair, asking, "Does it look good?"

Zhuo Yuan smiled: "It looks good."

She took Yimin's hand, and the two sat down together, each talking about what happened around them, the atmosphere was very warm, especially when she heard that Yunna was pregnant, Zhuo Yuan couldn't help showing surprise , repeatedly asked about the situation of the young couple.

Finally, she asked, "Are you going to Mulan Paddock next year?"

Yimin hesitated for a moment, then... shook her head resolutely, and said firmly, "No!"

Compared to going to Mongolia, she now enjoys the time when she doesn't have to wait on Kangxi, and when she usually goes to the grassland, the empress dowager will also go with her. At that time, she will be the biggest in the palace except Concubine Yi, how cool it is!

In the past ten years or so, she has traveled to Mongolia almost every year. She is tired of seeing those scenery, and she is no longer a rarity.

Zhuo Yuan smiled softly, and he could guess all about her thoughts, "If you don't go, don't go, it's not interesting at all."

——It doesn't matter if you don't go, given the current situation of the emperor and the prince, some accidents are easy to happen, if you don't go...you don't have to get involved.

……

In July, Yin Yi also took Yun Na back to the capital slowly.

He was a father for the first time, and he was very nervous. When he entered the palace to pay his respects to the elders, he never took his eyes off Yun Na for a moment.

Yi Min was amused when she saw it.

She patted Yun Na's hand, and asked carefully: "Is the child still making trouble?"

Yun Na's bright face was full of tenderness, and she shook her head slightly: "The child is very good, he loves his mother, embarrassment is not serious, and he won't move around at night..."

Yin Yi's eyebrows were about to fly when he laughed at the side, he said: "At first, my son was worried, this child is like me, he is a rambunctious one, I don't want to be so obedient, he must be like my mother..."

Since childhood, Yi Erniang and Huang Erniang had told him: He was extremely troublesome in Erniang's stomach, and when Erniang was pregnant, she couldn't eat well and sleep well, and she lost a lot of weight.

So after Yun Na found out that she was pregnant, he was very worried, afraid that she would be in the same situation. Fortunately, this child is good enough, so far she hasn't bothered her, which made him very relieved.

After hearing this, Yimin blinked her eyes.

Xindao: Come on, neither of you husband and wife is not noisy, even if you are lucky enough to have a well-behaved child, it is definitely an eye-opener from God, knowing that there must be a reliable person in a family, you two adults It's useless, then you can only rely on the children.

She sighed, gently touched Yun Na's slightly bulging belly, and felt more and more affection for this child—it will not be easy for this child to have such a pair of parents in the future!

"Five months?"

Yinyi nodded, "It's been five and a half months. My son thought that there are more imperial physicians in Beijing, and it's easier to find experienced nurses, so he decided to take Yunna back to Beijing to wait for delivery."

"You did the right thing," Yi Min agreed, "It is indeed much safer to give birth in the capital. If it weren't for the inconvenience of Aya and Uxiha, I would have wanted them to return to the capital to give birth."

Both Aya and Uxiha raised two children. Aya gave birth to a son and a daughter, and Uxiha gave birth to two boys. Yimin met them a few times and they were well-bred.

Speaking of this, Yimin couldn't help asking: "Are your two sisters okay, and your brother-in-law and a few children, are they all okay?"

Yinyi grinned, "Emiang, don't worry, the two older sisters are doing well, and the children are also doing well, the eldest brother-in-law is still the same, but the fourth brother-in-law has made meritorious service recently..."

He gesticulated ramblingly.

Yimin listened carefully, but she couldn't help expressing sympathy for the two sons-in-law.

These two unlucky sons-in-law should be the worst of all Kangxi's sons-in-law. Every year, they not only have to face the "old man" Kangxi's regular and fixed-point inspections, but also face the occasional surprise attacks of his brother-in-law Yinyi.

I remember one time, Ban Di didn't know whether he was in a daze or something, and suddenly wanted to take a woman as his concubine, but by coincidence, he bumped into Yinyi and brought Yunna back to Horqin.

As soon as Yinyi learned about this, he became furious on the spot, and before he even had time to salute, he went to block the bandi without turning a single step, and then... let Yunna beat him up.

And he also said: If he still dares to do this in the future, Yun Na will beat him up once he sees him!

I heard that after that incident, Ban Di didn't leave the mansion for two full months, and never mentioned the matter of taking a concubine after that.

In the letter Aya sent back to the capital, this matter was mentioned emphatically, and the lines were full of touch and comfort.

Although she devoted herself to her career and didn't care too much about whether the son-in-law took concubines or not, her brother's protective attitude still made her heart soft.

It was also this incident that made Yi Min understand that although Yinyi has various minor problems and is not a smart person, but...he is really great!

He was a great son, great brother, great husband, great son-in-law and will be a great father in the future.

--very nice.

……

Kangxi 46 years, November.

Yun Na successfully gave birth to a son, who Kangxi named: Hong Xu.

Meaning: The rising sun in the morning.

Because the child was born in the mansion outside the palace, Yimin did not see it for the first time, but waited for the child to pass the full moon and grow stronger before being wrapped tightly by the old couple and brought into the palace for her. look.

Looking at the soft little guy in Yimin's arms, Zhuo Yuan said to Yun Na: "The child is still young, so you and your wife should not go to Horqin next year. When the child is older, bring him back to your father and mother." See you at Eji, don't be in a hurry."

For the aunt Zhuo Yuan, Yun Na has always respected her. Before she married in the capital, Eji told her to ask her to listen to her aunt more. The other party is resourceful and will not harm her.

Moreover, for Hong Xu, a hard-won son, she cherished her dearly and dared not make any mistakes.

She nodded seriously, "Yunna knows, Auntie is at ease."

Seeing that her attitude was correct, Zhuo Yuan didn't persuade her much, just smiled, then leaned over to tease Xiao Hongxu with Yimin.

……

In May of the 47th year of Kangxi, Kangxi went to the Mulan paddock again.

Seeing the fourth elder brother who came to the palace to say goodbye, Yi Min narrowed her eyes.

I heard that Kangxi originally planned to take the prince, elder brother, third elder brother, sixth elder brother, thirteenth elder brother, and the fifteenth, sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth younger elder brothers.

But... it seems that Zhuo Yuan said something, and asked him to replace the sixth elder brother with the fourth elder brother.

After getting along for many years, even if Yimin didn't get a bit of Zhuo Yuan's intelligence, she should have some understanding of her words and deeds.

She vaguely felt that Zhuo Yuan was preparing for something, and it was not a trivial matter.

"When you go to the Mulan paddock this time, you must be careful in everything. If you can't make a decision, you can ask your mother-in-law for more advice. If you feel that something is wrong, you must inform your mother-in-law as soon as possible..." She whispered .

The fourth elder brother is not a fool either, for some vicissitudes, he will only be more aware than Yi Min, and he does not dare to be careless when he hears the words, and solemnly replied: "Xinzhen understands, and will definitely be extremely careful when going here."

……

Although Yimin didn't go to the Mulan paddock, the news there still kept reaching her ears.

The main source of information is the letter from Zhuo Yuan, followed by Yin Yi's small channels.

This kid met a lot of people in Mongolia, and he often exchanged letters. Some fragmentary but specific news can basically be deduced from their letters.

Yimin put together the news from both sides, summed it up a bit, and the general situation became clear.

——Elder brother and third elder brother reported to Kangxi many times for the misconduct of the crown prince, wantonly whipping Mongolian kings, Baylor, Beizi, and even officers and soldiers...

——The gangsters of the elder brother and the third elder brother also reported the prince's disciple, saying that he withheld the tribute privately and blackmailed his subordinates...

……

After scanning one message after another, Yi Min gradually frowned.

It's hard to tell which is true and which is false, but it must be adding oil and vinegar.

only……

The truth of the matter is not important, the important thing is: will Kangxi believe it or not!

How much trust does he still have in the prince he raised?Would you still support him and protect him unconditionally?

When she saw the last message, Yi Min's expression immediately became serious.

——In mid-August, the eighteenth son of the emperor, Yinzhu, had an emergency, and the emperor took care of him day and night...

That's it!

Yi Min let out a sharp breath.

With all the previous news, plus this one, she can basically be sure that this is the time to 'waste the prince'.

--how should I do it?

——It is to let nature take its course and follow the historical process of the first abolished prince, the re-established prince, and the second abolished prince.

——Or... to add a fire?

Yi Min fell into deep thought: What would Zhuo Yuan do?

……

On the grasslands in the distance.

Zhuo Yuan stayed in his tent, and told the people standing in the shadows: "Let our people restrain themselves, the fire is burning a little bit, now is not the best time, we have to wait... ..."

"Yes." The man replied in a muffled voice, and quietly withdrew.

Zhuo Yuan raised his teacup and took a sip of the salty milk tea.

This is what Yimin likes. She was not used to drinking it at first, but after giving her a lot of drinking over the years, it gradually became easier to drink.

She lowered her eyes slightly.

When she does something, she either doesn't do it, or she doesn't leave any room for future troubles. The education and experience she has received since she was a child tells her - don't give your opponent a chance to get up!

The author has something to say: What a fat thing, what a fat thing, why does the more I write, the more I feel that Zhuo Yuan is a villain boss?
