[Qing Chuan] The daily life of the seven princes

"Cough, cough..." The man hugged him too tightly, and he was a little taller than Yinyou, which made him really uncomfortable.

The little fist beat the opponent's back weakly: "Let go, let go... Huhu... I can't breathe..."

The palace servants who followed Yinyou hurried forward to "rescue" their little master, Li Xi protected the seventh elder brother, and the two eunuchs went to the left and the right to hold the person who was holding him.

It took a lot of effort for several people to separate the two children.

Yinyou gasped and looked over, it turned out that the person who rushed out to hug him just now was his eighth brother.

Yinhu looked like she had just cried, her eyes were a little red and swollen, and there were still wet tears on her face.

Seeing him like this, Li Xi frowned a little. Everyone in the deep palace was sweeping the front door and only doing their own thing.

She is from the Compassionate Ning Palace, and the Empress Dowager asked her to take care of the seventh elder brother, so she only wanted to serve the little master well, as for the other masters in other palaces, she had neither control nor dared to control them.

But in Yinyou's eyes, he doesn't care why Yinhu is crying, he just wants to make the other party happy.

So, he walked to his younger brother, raised his hand and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with the pulp of his thumb: "Eighth Brother, don't cry."

Yinhu shook her head: "I didn't cry."

Yinyou went to hold him, but found that his hands were clenched into fists, and he seemed to be holding something in his palm.

Yinhu spread his hands in front of him, and in his small palm lay a piece of crispy candy wrapped with a layer of glutinous rice paper. It was the most common candy made by the imperial dining room, nothing special.

Yinyou seldom ate dim sum from the Imperial Dining Room, and what he usually ate was made in the small kitchen of the Compassionate Ning Palace, or Chengqian Palace, and the control of sugar and oil was extremely strict.

Obviously, the piece of candy had been squeezed in Yinhu's palm for a while, and it was a little torn apart, and the glutinous rice paper and crisp candy were stuck together and could not be peeled off.

Yinhu handed the candy to Yinyou's mouth: "Seventh brother, you eat."

Li Xi was about to step forward to stop him, but Yinyou swallowed the candy with just one mouthful.

"..."

Yinhu's hands were covered with mud visible to the naked eye, and with Brother Seven's fragile constitution, he wouldn't get sick.

Yinyou didn't think too much, took his younger brother's hand and walked to Yuqing Palace. After delaying for a while, I'm afraid the crown prince has already returned.

The two children entered the courtyard of Yuqing Palace, and Yinreng really came back, changed into normal clothes and was copying the copybooks in the study.

Yinyou climbed over the threshold and walked in with hands and feet, and Yinhu followed behind him.

The prince raised his head to see him, a smile appeared on his face immediately, strode up to him, and hugged Xiaotuanzi: "Why is Xiao Qi here today?"

Yinyou put his arms around his brother's neck: "Shall I come to give you a gift?"

The prince raised his eyebrows: "What gift?"

Xiaotuanzi's words aroused Yinreng's curiosity. As Kangxi's most beloved son, it can be said that there is nothing in the Qianqing Palace, and this Yuqing Palace will never be short. What exactly needs to be delivered by his younger brother.

Yinyou waved his hands, beckoning the eunuch to bring the things over.

When Yinreng turned around, he noticed that there was someone standing next to him.

The moment he saw Yinhu, he frowned, not knowing why Lao Ba was here.

Yinhu is now raised in the Palace of Yanxi Palace, and Concubine Hui is called Er Niang, who is the elder brother's younger brother.

He and elder brother have always been estranged, and naturally they have no contact with the entire Yanxi Palace.

Seeing Yinhu, even though he is also a brother, it can't be said that he hates him because of the elder brother, but it is definitely not close.

So, the prince just nodded coldly, didn't say anything, walked towards the desk with Yinyou in his arms.

The little eunuch put a wooden box on the table, and Yinyou knelt on the chair, not forgetting to order his prince brother to help move the stool closer.

Yinhu followed behind them and also came to the desk.He heard that Seventh Brother said that he was here to give the prince a gift, and he was also very curious about what was in the wooden box.

Yinyou opened the wooden box, first took out a boxy thing from inside and handed it to Yinreng.

Yinfeng took it over and took a look. It was a painting of a goldfish, squarely mounted in a wooden frame, and after taking it in for a closer look, every pattern on the painting was not painted on. , but made of leaves.

The leaves are all orange maple leaves. I don’t know how they have been treated. The color looks very bright. There is a layer of grease on the surface, which makes the goldfish’s body glow slightly, and its posture is vivid, as if it is really swinging in the water. .

Then, Yinyou handed him several paintings of the same size one after another, including a parrot perched on a branch, a deer running through the forest, and a butterfly resting on a flower... Each painting is full of childishness. interest.

The last painting in Yinyou's hand, Yinreng stretched out his hand to take it, but Xiaotuanzi withdrew his hand back.

Yinfeng asked him: "What's the matter, isn't this for me?"

Yinyou glanced at Yinhu, who was staring at them eagerly, and asked in a discussing tone: "Brother Prince, can you give this last pair to the eighth brother?"

Yinfeng looked at it, and the last one was a puppy with a wreath on its head. The leaves that made this puppy had been kicked out, leaving only the veins, so it looked hollowed out, which was different from the other pictures. Painting must be special.

Unless the prince himself is willing, no one can take away what he has here.

Although he didn't say it, Yinyou also saw his displeasure.So, he handed over the "puppy" again.

Yinfeng accepted the puppy with satisfaction, picked and picked, and finally picked up the pair of butterflies. When he turned around, he saw that Xiaotuanzi had slid down from the chair nimbly, and was holding Yinhu's hand and saying in a low voice. said something.

"Ahem..." Yinreng coughed lightly, held up his prestige as a prince, and handed the painting to Yinhu: "Take it."

Yinhu was a little embarrassed and didn't dare to reach out to pick it up. Yinyou bumped into him with his small arm, winked at him, and patted his small chest: "Hurry up, hurry up, this is made by Brother Qi himself. .”

Yinfeng was a little bit reluctant to hear that Xiaotuanzi made these by himself, but the things had already been handed out, so there was no reason to take them back.

Yinhu took it respectfully, and thanked the prince with due courtesy.

Yinfeng's attention was on Xiaotuanzi.Although Yinhu looks equally fair and beautiful, she looks too reserved, and lacks a bit of childish innocence, so she is not as lovable as Yinyou.

He couldn't help stretching out his hand, and squeezed Yinyou's little face: "You did all of these yourself?"

Yinyou nodded proudly: "Er Niang taught me to make it, using a big pot and honey." Having said that, he licked his lips, "Honey is so sweet, Er Niang also made desserts, Prince Brother, let's go eat some snacks."

Somehow the topic changed from making leaf specimens to eating. Yinfeng couldn't understand, but Xiaotuanzi swallowed his saliva so cutely that he even took the initiative to take his hand and walk out.

The palace maids carried the food boxes and followed them to the side hall, taking out the contents of the food boxes one by one.

The sweet-scented osmanthus cake made in the shape of a piglet, with a silver spoon hitting the buttocks, feels Q-bouncing.There are also small biscuits in the shape of cat's claws, which are rich in milk when eaten.

The prince was very satisfied with the gift that Yinyou specially sent over, so he stayed the two of them for dinner in Yuqing Palace.

Yinfeng originally wanted to keep Xiaotuanzi to stay for one night, but seeing Yinhu who had been sticking to Yinyou's side all the time, he dismissed the idea.

Anyway, we can let Xiaotuanzi come over to play more in the future, there are plenty of opportunities.

The two of them had a full meal at the Prince's place, but they didn't know that at this time, the entire Yanxi Palace had become a mess.

When Wei Shi heard the news that the eighth elder brother had disappeared, his legs almost gave way and he fell to the ground, and then he rushed out of the palace to look for someone regardless, but was stopped by a few maids beside him.

Now Concubine Hui, the head of the Yanxi Palace, is the concubine in name of the eighth elder brother. If she is lost, she should be anxious to find someone. Although Wei is the eighth elder brother's biological mother, her status is low. There is no qualification to support the prince at all.

At this time, regardless of rushing out to find someone, it was tantamount to slapping Concubine Hui in the face and blaming her for not taking good care of the child.Wei Shi, a maid from Xinzheku, how will she live in Yanxi Palace in the future?

Concubine Hui was also anxious. Although she was not the biological mother of Eighth Prince, the child was entrusted to her by the emperor to raise him.

Although she doesn't care as much as her eldest brother, she has never treated Yinhu badly in terms of food and clothing.

But children are sensitive, and they actually know in their hearts whether Er Niang treats him sincerely or completes the task.

But after all, he is not yet three years old, and he can't change anything. He can only try his best to make himself a good boy and please his mother.

A few days ago in the imperial garden, Yinhu saw the imperial concubine taking Yinyou to pick up leaves, across the rockery, there was laughter from time to time, it was a joy he had never experienced before.

So he sneaked over when Er Niang was not paying attention.

Later, when she returned to Yanxi Palace, Er Niang was furious because of what the imperial concubine said, and even broke two teacups.

Since then, Yinhu has been asked to stay in Yanxi Palace and not to go out.Yinhu still remembered what Eniang said that night: "If you don't go out, you won't bump into each other, so the imperial concubine won't have to worry about it."

When the two brothers came out of Yuqing Palace, it was already dark. The background was September weather, and it was a bit cool after nightfall. In addition, tonight's style was extraordinarily loud, and the leaves were blowing loudly.

Li Xi quickly took out the cloak and put it on the little master, and Yinyou turned his head frequently when he was wearing the belt.

Yinhu hugged the butterfly made of leaves and stood shivering in the cold wind.

It was only then that Yinyou realized that when the eighth brother rushed out during the day, he was alone, and there was not even a eunuch waiting beside him.

He thought about how Yinzhen usually took care of him in everything, and thought that he was also an elder brother now, so the elder brother should take care of the younger brother, so he walked to Yinhu's side, took off his cloak and put it on him.

Yinhu lowered his head and hesitated to speak, but Yinyou held his hand without asking any questions: "Eighth brother, don't be afraid, Seventh brother will take you back."

In the Palace of Yanxi Palace, Yinhu has not been found yet, and Concubine Hui can't sit still. After all, the child was lost from her. It's okay if it's just for fun and hiding, but if something unexpected happens...

Thinking of this, Kangxi Longyan's furious look appeared in front of his eyes, and he didn't dare to think any further.

But he was afraid of something coming, and the eunuch's message suddenly sounded outside the palace: "The emperor is here!"
