Four elder brothers take the script of salted fish

Just as Kangxi was sent away, Concubine De was ushered in again.

Concubine De braved the wind and snow to walk into Chengqian Palace, her shoulders were covered with snow, her small face the size of a palm was frozen pale.

Concubine Tong Huang looked surprised.

Before waiting for Concubine De to kneel down to pay her respects, she took two steps forward and pulled Concubine De up.

Concubine De's hands were cold and trembling slightly.

Concubine Tong Huanggui reached out to touch her forehead and cheeks, and found that there was no temperature at all. While her brows were raised, a chill gradually appeared on Concubine Tong Huanggui's face: "How do you serve me? Just let the master freeze like this ?”

Before they could reply, Concubine De carefully held Concubine Tong's hand: "Don't worry, Concubine Huang, the concubine is fine. The concubine walked through the imperial garden and saw the red plum blossoms blooming there, so she couldn't help but stay for a while." Will take two."

The maid brought two red plums forward.

The red plum blossoms are in full bloom, bursting with fragrance.Concubine Tong picked it up, but she didn't stop talking: "Why is nothing wrong? If you catch a cold, you won't have time to cry!"

Concubine Defei nodded her head as if sucking rice.

Seeing her uneasy eyes, the corners of Tonghuang Guifei's mouth raised a slight arc, and she no longer concealed it from her: "Yinzhen has awakened!"

Concubine De's eyes lit up.

Concubine Tonghuang didn't intend to stop her, but asked with a smile: "Do you want me to take you in and have a look?"

The expressions of the palace people in Chengqian Palace changed slightly.

They looked at Concubine De with a little vigilance, and what was surprising was that after a moment of hesitation, Concubine De actually shook her head: "Since the fourth elder brother is fine, the concubine will leave first."

Concubine Tong Huang: ...?

She couldn't help but glanced out of the window. The north wind howled past, and the rolling snow turned the world outside the window into a vast expanse of white.

You just came and didn't have half a cup of tea and want to go back?

Concubine Tong helplessly supported her forehead, and hastily stretched out her hand to hold Concubine De who was about to move: "It's snowing too much outside, you just warmed up, aren't you afraid of freezing again?"

"Concubine..."

"Don't say you won't get sick? Even if you're fine, you still have to think about the young Sixth Brother."

Defei shut her mouth.

She hesitated for a moment, then replied seriously: "Then...the concubine sits here and leaves when the snow stops."

Concubine Tong smiled and nodded.

Do you still want to run away after staying?Turning around, she called for someone to bring warming soup, and while motioning to Concubine De to hold the tea to warm her body, she also asked someone to bring a chess board: "We haven't come to play chess for a long time, let's play today."

,How about it?Just to pass the time. "

Concubine De's brows and eyes stretched, and a faint smile appeared on her face.

She put the teacup on the table and said seriously: "You can't go back on your word when you play chess."

Concubine Tong patted her chest.

She held her head high and her chest up, and said solemnly and righteously: "Does this palace seem to be someone who can play tricks?"

---

Yinzhen slept very soundly this time.

The moment he was awake, he couldn't help sitting up straight, looking around nervously and defensively, making sure that he was really real, and only after returning home did he collapse on the bed again like soft noodles.

The quilt was warm and fragrant.

Yinzhen happily rolled on the bed, stuck out his little head longingly, and looked at the strange little eunuch next to the bed: "What's your name? Where's Er Niang?"

The little eunuch was a little cautious.

He immediately knelt down and slapped a thousand: "Slave Sun Pinliang pays respects to master."

Before Yinzhen could call out, Sun Pinliang went on to say: "Your master is playing chess with Empress Defei in the front hall."

Concubine De... Your Majesty?

Yinzhen felt that the title Concubine De was familiar, but he didn't care.Under the horrified eyes of the eunuch Sun Pinliang, Yinzhen took off his pajamas neatly, put on underwear and a bottom robe, and it was only when he started to put on the ordinary robe that Sun Pinliang came back to his senses and hurriedly stepped forward to serve the fourth elder brother to dress and wash.

Yinzhen blinked.

He put down his hand in a sudden realization, and then remembered that he had already returned home—oh!There are some details that I really should pay attention to.

When he walked to the outer room, Imperial Physician Chang, who was sitting in the hall and flipping through books, swept over in surprise.After checking the pulse again and inquiring about the condition, Imperial Physician Chang fell into deep confusion.

Looking at the lively fourth elder brother, but the pulse condition at the fingertips is clearly a sign of a lack of Qi and blood in the middle... Physician Chang frowned in confusion, feeling something was wrong?

"Physician Chang, can Elder Brother Ben go out?"

"...It's okay to walk around the hall without going out."

With Chang Yuyi's words, Yinzhen immediately ran out happily with the dog who had no reins and was having fun everywhere.

The first goal is the main hall.

Stepping into the palace, Yinzhen glanced at Concubine Tong puffing her cheeks, clasped her hands together and said to Concubine De: "Just once, just the last time!"

Concubine De had a troubled expression on her face: "My lord, you said last time was the last time, last time you said it was the last time, last time last time you said it was the last time, last time, last time—"

The palace people around couldn't hold back their laughter.

palace people

Either look at the sky with both eyes, or look at the brick patterns on the ground, or cover your stomach, or choke your own flesh.Everyone's expressions were tense, lest someone who didn't pay attention would laugh out loud.

The palace people are too busy to take care of themselves.

They didn't even notice the appearance of the fourth elder brother.

Yinzhen leaned over curiously: "Emiang, what are you playing with this concubine mother?"

"Playing Go—hey, Yinzhen, are you awake?"

"En! The doctor Chang said that Erchen's fever has subsided and you can come down and take a few steps." Yinzhen jumped up and down energetically, and looked at Concubine De curiously from the corner of his eyes.

Concubine De didn't expect the fourth elder brother to appear suddenly.

Just now she was sternly accusing Concubine Tong Huanggui, but now she keeps her mouth shut like a gourd sawing her mouth, and even moves her body to shrink inward, barely covering her face, to protect herself from being caught by Si Ah Brother Yinzhen saw it.

This strange reaction made Yin Zhen even more curious.

Relying on his young age, he blatantly started to look at him.Concubine De was wearing an ivory palace dress embroidered with grape patterns, her face makeup was extremely light and the most important thing was that she looked familiar.

Yinzhen frowned.

He rubbed his chin and pondered carefully, and it took a few seconds to find out the existence of this person from his memory: "Ah—— Er Niang! It was this mother concubine who made people pick up my son!"

Concubine De was stirring the handkerchief with both hands.

She stared at Yinzhen intently, and stared blankly at him as he affectionately pulled Concubine Tong's sleeve corner and pointed at herself and shouted, "Emiang, it was this mother and concubine who saved Erchen! Erchen remembers that she fainted from fright at that time." fall down--"

"Didn't faint."

"Hey……?"

Facing Yinzhen's scorching gaze, Concubine De's head that had just been raised was lowered again.She faltered and shouted: "...Ben Gong, Ben Gong..."

Concubine Tonghuang smiled.

She brushed aside the subtle discomfort emerging from the bottom of her heart, stretched out her hand and pushed Yinzhen, and pushed him to Concubine De's side: "Yinzhen, this is your De'eniang."

Mother?

Yinzhen subconsciously repeated: "De'eniang?"

Suddenly a memory flashed through my mind.

The adoptive mother died young, broke up with the biological mother, and turned against the brother... The things that I had ignored before finally unfolded in front of my eyes.

Adoptive mother - Concubine Tong Huanggui.

Birth mother - Concubine De.

The smile on Yinzhen's face froze suddenly.

It's not that she was shocked by the addition of Er Niang, but was surprised by another thing: Er Niang would die young?

This possibility shocked Yinzhen's pupils.

His complexion changed suddenly, and he stood there in a daze

in situ.

Seeing the fourth elder brother standing there dumbfounded.

Thinking that he couldn't accept the fact, Concubine De quickly stood up, but she wanted to leave but was grabbed by Concubine Tong.

Now that it has been spoken, it must be the last.

Concubine Tong Huanggui planned to untie this knot in her heart today, seeing the scene of Concubine De stunned and Concubine Yinzhen stupid, she didn't hesitate much, she simply stuffed the silly son into Concubine De's arms, and led the palace people to the side hall Go: "Both of you mothers have a good heart-to-heart talk."

Facing the successive attacks of big melons, as a melon in the melon field, Yinzhen could not help but fall into confusion.

He and Concubine De looked at each other.

The atmosphere between the two was not to mention how embarrassing it was.

Putting the important news of Concubine Tong's early death aside, Yinzhen looked at Concubine De again, and racked his brains to recall the words of his companion.

The mother-child relationship between the fourth elder brother Yinzhen and Concubine De is also one of the topics that the companions like to talk about. For example, Concubine De sent Yinzhen to Concubine Tong Huanggui in order to be superior, or the talented sixth elder brother Yinzuo died early in his childhood , suspected of being involved in a dispute, and the fourteenth elder brother Yinzhen who played against the fourth elder brother Yinzhen...

Concubine De would rather die in Kangxi than become empress dowager, and on the other hand confirmed the rumor that she loved her youngest son.

Just looking at Concubine De who was at a loss, embarrassed, and with a little joy in his eyes, Yinzhen blinked, and for the first time doubted what his companions said.

Concubine De looked at Yinzhen greedily from top to bottom.

She wanted to talk, but she didn't know what to say, so she clumsily changed her position and hugged Yinzhen.

But she was reluctant to let Concubine De go.

After the mother and son looked at each other for a while, as if to break the awkward atmosphere, Concubine De pointed to the chess board on the table: "Can you...play Go?"

Yinzhen revealed a pair of dead fish eyes.

A normal three-year-old cub should not know this stuff, right?When it comes to playing chess, he barely knows backgammon, flying chess, and checkers...

Concubine De, who asked the three-year-old cub if he could play chess, was also amazing.Yinzhen had a rare interest in this biological mother, and answered along the way: "...No?"

Concubine De is quite satisfied with Yinzhen's answer.

She placed Yinzhen on the opposite side, first put all the chess pieces on the table back into the chess box, and then said slowly: "You use black pieces, I use white pieces."

"……Um."

"Whether it's a straight line or a diagonal line, if you make five in a row, you win."

Yin Zhen fell into deep thought.

No matter how you look at it, this is not Go but backgammon, right?He blinked, with a trace of loneliness on his face: "This... is playing Go?"

Concubine De nodded cautiously: "That's right."

If it wasn't for Yinzhen knowing that it was clearly backgammon, he might have been fooled by Concubine De's innocent and sincere expression!

Yinzhen: ... (one_one)

He was about to expose Concubine De's evil deeds, but when he turned his head and thought about it, he couldn't help showing a sly smile.

This is why you fooled elder brother Ben first.

That being the case, don't be angry after losing!

Full of fighting spirit, Yinzhen sat cross-legged.

He picked up a chess piece and slapped it on the board: "I'm done!"
