[Qing Chuan] No pet little promise

In the Yonghe Palace bedroom, Concubine De sat in front of the bronze mirror to do her makeup.

Qiu Yi stood not far away, reporting the news, and after finishing speaking, she raised her head quietly, and glanced at Concubine De's face.

She also wasn't sure what Concubine De meant. Concubine De asked about Wei Rong's condition just now, she took the opportunity to say that the fourth elder brother often visited and gave away a lot of things, seemingly unintentionally.

Concubine De's expression was calm, and she ordered: "Go down."

Qiu Yi felt uneasy and bowed to retreat.

Nanny Guan, who was combing Concubine De's hair, hesitated again and again, but still couldn't help but whispered: "Madam, I'm afraid it's inappropriate for Si elder brother to behave like this."

Nanny Guan really had a headache. For some reason, Wei Changzai was particularly in the eyes of his mother, and even greeted Wu Yashi outside the palace to get him out.

Unexpectedly, for some reason, he fell into the eyes of the fourth elder brother again, and they met one after another.It must be known that once the love between this young man and woman is born, it will be difficult to control, so is it possible that they will be included in the mansion in the future?Even if she changed her identity, she was once the emperor's concubine after all. Many people in the palace have seen her.In case there is any gossip, what will Brother Si do in the future?

Concubine De's eyes were calm: "There's nothing wrong with that."

Nanny Guan: "Huh?"

Concubine De's voice was flat: "Everyone has their own destiny, just don't spread this matter to outsiders."

Nanny Guan wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Concubine De.

"In the past few days, send people to watch more autumn."

Guan Momo came back to her senses, surprised, "Your Majesty is afraid of this girl..."

Concubine De sighed: "I hope she is smart."

Nanny Guan took the order to leave.

***

The rays of the setting sun slanted in through the windows, casting dappled spots of light on the ground.

Sitting alone in the hall, Concubine De silently looked at the light spots on the ground, a sarcastic smile gradually appeared on the corners of her lips.

In my memory, when I died, it was such a sunny evening, with warm and mottled light falling on my body.

At that time, she was already the limit of the nobility of women in the world, the queen mother.But who would know the resentment in her heart.

She is deeply envious of Concubine Yi and Concubine Rong, who can go out of the palace and enjoy the last family happiness in her son's mansion.Instead of continuing to stay trapped in this cold palace, he couldn't even get to see his beloved son one last time before he died.

Standing in front of the bed was only the person she hated the most, his cold gaze and gloomy tone fell on her without any emotion.Just like myself to him.

The originally indifferent mother-child relationship was exhausted in those years of tit-for-tat confrontation.

She only hated herself for giving birth to this son.

I thought I would close my eyes and return to the underworld, and wake up again, but found that I have returned to the Yang world, not long after I was canonized as a concubine.

She panicked, shocked, but quickly accepted reality.Could it be that God took pity on her regrets in her previous life and gave her a chance to do it all over again?

In the days that followed, she followed the memories of her previous life and tried her best to restore those things that made her regret.

For example, the premature death of her Yinzuo.

Yinzuo died because of the wind and cold. In the spring of that year, she was extra cautious and paid attention to Yinzuo's body all the time. But when things came to an end, the sudden wind and cold still arrived. She tried her best, but she still couldn't turn Yinzuo away from her. to the end.

This made her more sad and desperate than in her previous life.

He also hated the eldest son who was sent back to him because Tong Jia was seriously ill and neglected to take care of him.

He was indeed a hard-hearted and ruthless person. Tong Jiashi adopted him, and the little Gege who was born desperately did not live for two years, and then he died in his prime.After being sent back to him, Yinzuo was killed.

There is still a distant future, because of him, neither he nor Xiao Shishi will be safe.

The hatred of the two lives welled up, and she finally made up her mind to get rid of him.

It's a pity that several attempts have ended in failure.

Concubine De is in despair. Could it be that this is his destiny to inherit the Great Tradition in the future?Then why did God let her live this life again?

Until later, Wei Shi's appearance rekindled hope in the desperate woman.

In my memory, the person cultivated by the concubine of the Changchun Palace was the Chen family, and the Song family had been favored for a few days, but I had never heard of Wei's name.

She appeared in the palace inexplicably, and won the emperor's favor with her outstanding painting skills.Out of curiosity, she investigated her, and specially called someone to the Yonghe Palace, and even thought of recruiting him.

It's a pity that it came to an abrupt end because of an accident in the Summer Palace.But it doesn't matter, this accident surprised her even more.

She has an inexplicable relationship with her son.

This fate came so timely.

Concubine De even hoped that the stronger the relationship between the two, the better.

She will keep Wei's family out of the palace, change her identity for her, and marry into Yongwang's mansion in the future.

In the future, a prince who privately accepts his father's concubine, ha, what qualifications do he have to inherit the throne?With this handle, he must miss the throne!

Looking at the fading sunlight, Concubine De showed a subtle smile.

***

Big brother's face became more and more ugly,

Several subordinates knelt in the room, not daring to take a breath.

Since the clues were obtained from Song Qing'er, coupled with the torture of Yufu, it has been confirmed.He was basically sure that Wei Changzai was the ghost that Ce Wang saw that day.

But in the past few days, I have searched all the places I can find, but I have not found anyone.

Even the Yonghe Palace and the mansion of the fourth elder brother were searched quietly, but there was no clue.

There was a kind of fear in the elder brother's heart. In this court, he already had great power on the surface, but it seemed that he could not touch the real power at all.It was as if there was an invisible barrier covering him from the outside.

Why, it is obvious that my father has already...

He gritted his teeth and said, "If that's the case, let's capture the fourth younger brother and ask him."

Unless it was a last resort, he didn't want to do anything to his brother at this time.

At this time, a guard from outside the door rushed in, sweating profusely, threw himself on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "My lord, my lord..."

"what happened?"

"The news came from the front line, great victory, the emperor has successfully wiped out the remaining Galdan party, and is about to return in triumph."

There was a bang of thunder, and the elder brother felt dizzy in front of his eyes.

He finally knew why he had been unable to see and touch the barrier.

***

That evening, Wei Rong was playing with the puppy in the house.

Yinzhen came in a hurry.

Wei Rong was surprised, every time Yinzhen came here was in the morning, and this was the first time he came here at this hour.

He got straight to the point: "I want to tell you a piece of news. It has been reported to the Central Line that Huang Ama's royal conquest is a great victory."

Although she had expected it in her heart, Wei Rong breathed a sigh of relief when the dust settled so quickly.

Yinzhen looked at her expression carefully, "You know."

"No, it's just speculation." Wei Rong hurriedly said.

She didn't think that Kangxi would be so easily led by a dog.The previous defeat in the missing battle should have been a false defeat deliberately to let Galdan relax his vigilance. He pretended to be lost in the desert, but actually hid his soldiers and horses.In the end, the outcome will be decided in one fell swoop.

Yinzhen's lament about Zhou Papi last time also corroborated this guess.

"Huang Amaxiong has a general plan. He already knew that someone in the court had an affair with Galdan, so he made this plan and took a risky move to wipe out the elite of Zhungeer in one fell swoop."

And it can also hook out the ambitious elements in the court.Big brother is in a terrible situation now.Wei Rong secretly gloated.

Yinzhen looked at her with flickering eyes, "Wait until the emperor returns to court in the future. You can also restore your original identity and walk under the sun."

Wei Rong shook her head: "Since I'm already a dead person, why bother, I still yearn for the world outside the palace."

Yin Zhen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She doesn't want to be there, that's great.

He knew that his idea was too despicable, but he didn't want her to be trapped in this palace, trapped in "Wei Changzai", so that he and her would always be separated by high mountains and deep seas, unable to cross.

Fortunately, she is not an ordinary person who covets wealth and power.

Looking at Wei Rong's clear and lively eyes, Yin Zhen felt relaxed.

Following her to the stone table, Yinzhen sat down and took out a list from his sleeve.

"Last time you said you wanted to open a store, let's see which one is more suitable."

Wei Rong took it in surprise and opened it. The dense handwriting on it listed the location, layout, number of employees, the style of dim sum they mainly sell, and the annual profit of famous pastry shops in the capital.

Is this an ancient version of the acquisition plan?Wei Rong's eyes widened, such details must have put a lot of effort into it.

She looked up at Yinzhen.

Yinzhen said indifferently: "Which one do you like, I will send someone to make it in advance."

Wei Rong blinked, God knows, her original plan was to find a clean place and start from scratch.

But this kind of simple and rude domineering style... doesn't seem to be bad.Save time and effort and worry.

Speaking of buying a shop, Wei Rong suddenly realized one more thing. Since the death of "Wei Changzai", all the small treasury he had painstakingly saved was wasted, and he is now penniless.

Wouldn't it be tantamount to ordering these stores... "Isn't it worth a lot of money?" She put down the list and asked seriously.

"You don't need to worry about the money. I still have some in my hand. It's useless to keep it anyway." Yinzhen said straightforwardly.As a prince, he has a salary every year. After opening a mansion outside, he also allocated several villas in the suburbs of Beijing from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.He is frugal and simple in daily life. Not to mention he has no hobbies of running chickens, fighting dogs, raising horses and raising slaves. The most important thing is that he doesn't even have to raise a family, wives and concubines, so he has really saved a lot of money in the past two years.

"It's my elder brother who caused you to come to this point, so let's make up for it. Besides, Xiao Shengzi's life last time, isn't it worth a few shops." Yinzhen said lightly.

Wei Rong sighed secretly, as expected, the feeling of hugging the golden thigh is really cool!She didn't refuse any more, anyway, since she will leave the palace in the future, there must be a way to make a fortune, no toilet water pastry shop, just count him as a dry stock at that time.It is also convenient to hold your thigh by yourself.

Yinzhen directly clicked on the above brands, "If you want to make it bigger at the beginning, you can use this Baixiangzhai. I think you like his dim sum. But you said last time that you want a convenient location. But this newly opened Golden Fruit Shop is the most suitable. Although there are only a dozen shops, but because the fruit is exquisitely made, many people like to bring a box when they visit relatives and friends. The lady in the inner house likes it the most. Which one do you like? Let people talk about it."

The two discussed the list for a long time, and finally settled on Jinguofang.

However, Wei Rong didn't want to buy the entire store, so he only chose two stores as a test.

Yinzhen also agrees.

The two were gossiping, the early autumn sun was shining on their bodies, and the surroundings were warm.

Yinzhen is full of nostalgia, and when Yujia returns to the palace, he will not be able to visit her so frequently.Thinking of not being able to see each other for a while, he was full of anxiety.

"Should be able to leave the palace soon." Wei Rong didn't notice his strangeness, she counted the days with her fingers full of anticipation.

Yinzhen came to his senses, yes, it will be fine when he leaves the palace.

They have a long way to go!he smiles.
