It was a happy day, but in the middle of the night, Yonghe Palace suddenly called the imperial physician urgently.

Early in the morning of the second day, the imperial concubine hesitated to speak to the two children, but finally said nothing. After breakfast, she went to Yonghe Palace alone.

After the imperial concubine came back, she still called them to the main hall.

Yinzuo asked his elder brother who was leading him forward: "Why is Huanggui Erniang calling us over at this time? Does elder brother know why?"

"I am a human being, not a god. How can I be a prophet." Yinzhen replied lightly.

"Could it be that Huanggui's mother remembered the funny things about her brother's childhood and wanted to tell Xiaoliu~" Thinking of this, Yinzuo's eyes began to light up.

Yinzhen felt a little helpless, and he didn't know why this little guy liked to hear this so much.

"Haven't you heard enough yesterday?"

"How can it be enough? No amount of it is too much~" Yinzhen replied briskly.

Having said that, the two stopped talking and walked into the main hall together.

The imperial concubine propped her forehead, thoughtful, when she heard the sound of the two of them coming in, she straightened her back and looked over.

"Xiaosi, Xiaoliu, last night the Yonghe Palace urgently summoned the imperial physician, and I also went to the Yonghe Palace in person just now, your sister is not well, you brothers should go and have a look, and comfort De concubine."

In the past, people in the palace used this description to talk about the seriously ill servant in the palace. It meant that he was dying. Yin Zuo subconsciously looked at his brother. He was very panicked, and his brother was his backbone.

"Thank you Empress Huanggui, Yinzhen will take Xiaoliu to Yonghe Palace right now."

When going out, Yinzuo almost tripped over the threshold, but fortunately he was supported by his brother.

"Brother, sister...how could it be so bad all of a sudden?" Although she was a little dissatisfied with Er Niang because she stole her attention, Yin Zuo never thought that she would disappear.

Yinzhen held his hand tightly, life and death are fate, he couldn't be more clear, when he was just reborn, Yinzhen didn't think about changing something, but no matter how he interfered, he couldn't change the established destiny, what should happen It's bound to happen, Yinzuo only lived to be six years old in his last life, and there are still more than three years left, Yinzhen keeps repeating this thing in his mind.

"Xiao Liu, in fact, many children died in the palace. Before the elder brother, there were several elder brothers and sisters of ours. It's just that none of them survived to the present. No one can say anything about this kind of thing." It was rare for Yinzhen to tell him. I said so much, just because I didn't want him to be too sad.

The two brothers did not speak again until they entered the Yonghe Palace and saw the emaciated concubine De.

Yin Zuo trotted over, he hugged E Niang's leg, looked up at her, his eyes were full of worry.

"Emiang~" Even the voice calling her was very soft, for fear of startling her, there was no one else, because Emiang was in a daze now, her eyes were fixed on her sister in the cradle, blinking He didn't blink, which made Yinzuo very distressed.

Concubine De's reaction also slowed down, and it took a while before she slowly turned her head to look at the two sons beside her. She twitched the corners of her mouth and tried her best to show an ugly smile, her voice was also very hoarse, as if crying too much Because there are many and there is no water ingress.

"Xiaosi and Xiaoliu are here, hurry up and talk to my sister, and help Erniang wake her up, okay?"

Yinzhen turned his head and glanced at the baby in the swaddling infant who was breathing weakly and had a blue complexion, and pursed his lips.

On the contrary, it was Yin Zuo, who accepted with a smile as usual.

"Emiang, don't worry, Xiao Liu will play with my sister right now."

That's what he said, but even Yinzuo can see that his sister can't get up and play. Yinzuo can only lie on the edge of the cradle and talk to her in a low voice, just like the last time I saw her same time.

After a while, Yinzuo clearly noticed that Eniang's mood was better than when he and his brother came in just now.

"Aunt Qing, I'm a little thirsty~" Yinzuo just said so much to his sister, but it's not that his mouth is dry.

"Sixth elder brother wait a moment, this servant will pour you a glass of water."

Aunt Qing came forward with a glass of water, handed it to Yin Zuo, and said to him, "Brother Six, please use it."

Yinzuo took the glass of water, but didn't drink it, but held it with both hands and held it in front of Eniang.

"My mother, drink first~"

Concubine De looked at her younger son's expectant eyes and finally took them over. The cool water slid into her mouth and flowed down her throat, alleviating a little anxiety in Concubine De's heart.

"One more drink." Yinzuo hurriedly added before Aunt Qing turned to leave.

"Yes." Aunt Qing glanced at her mother, seemed relieved, and turned to pour water.

After Yinzuo took the second glass of water, he wanted to pass it to his brother, but his brother shook his head at him, so he drank it himself.

Seeing that he was drinking in a hurry, Concubine De felt a little regretful, she shouldn't have let him talk so much.

"It's all because of my mother-in-law just now"

Yin Zuo stepped forward and covered E Niang's mouth, and then buried himself in E Niang's arms.

"Don't worry, Erniang, my sister will be fine, Erniang, Xiaoliu and brother, let's stay with Erniang~"

Concubine De was holding her youngest son, and her tears couldn't stop falling down. In the past, I heard the concubines in the harem mocking Concubine Rong for having too many children, but she just laughed it off and didn't take it to heart. Now Only by being myself can I know how much pain I have in my heart.

Her first two children, Xiaosi and Xiaoliu, are taking care of well. Although Xiaoliu was sick when she was young, she has gradually recovered. The daughter suddenly fell ill in the middle of the night yesterday, and now she can't even feed her medicine. The current situation is more serious than Xiaoliu's at the beginning, this is her child born in October of her pregnancy, how can she not feel sad.

Xia Tian's clothes were already thin, and Yinzuo felt the wetness on his back, and he imitated Eniang's previous comforting movements and patted Eniang's back clumsily.

"My mother, don't cry, my mother is good~"

Yinzhen looked at Eniang and Yinzuo who were embracing each other, and then at the baby who was so angry, he frowned.

The two brothers stayed in Yonghe Palace for a whole day, and they didn't go back until evening.

During the dinner, the imperial concubine asked: "How is it? Has Little Gege's situation improved?"

Yinzuo lowered his little head, and Yinzhen who was beside him shook his head gently at the imperial concubine.

The imperial concubine sighed, she had never given birth, and seeing such things a lot, sometimes she would feel fortunate that she would not have to endure the grief of a white-haired man giving away a black-haired man. If it were her, she might not be able to Carry it over.

"The two of you should go to Yonghe Palace to accompany Little Gege and Concubine De."

"Thank you, Empress Huanggui." The two brothers thanked in unison.

But it was a pity that little Gege, who was only two months old in Yonghe Palace, died that night, and Concubine De also fell ill.

In this case, the imperial concubine also allowed the two brothers to visit Yonghe Palace every day.

Concubine De lost her daughter suddenly, her heart was unbearably sad, she hugged her daughter's clothes and cried all day long, even Yin Zuo couldn't rescue her from that desperate mood.

Back at Chengqian Palace at night, Yin Zuo nestled in his brother's arms and couldn't fall asleep. His mind was filled with pictures of Er Niang's sadness and pain, and he couldn't help but switch sides after a while.

"Can't sleep?" Yin Zhen suddenly said.

Yinzuo asked with some embarrassment: "Did I wake up brother?"

"No, I can't sleep either."

Only then did Yin Zuo breathe a sigh of relief. He felt that his brother should be the same as himself, so he turned around and lay down on his stomach. He looked at his brother with two small hands supporting his small face, and chatted with him in a low voice.

"Brother, it turns out that younger sister is so important to Er Niang. I shouldn't have thought her bad before. I am Er Niang's child, and so is she. Er Niang should love her. It's because I didn't do a good job as a brother. Without spending time with her, she disappeared and I never saw her again."

"Yinzuo, you don't have to blame yourself, life and death are destiny, everything is predetermined."

"Brother, if one day Xiaoliu is like my sister, will you be sad?" Yinzuo looked at him seriously.

Yinzhen frowned, and said in a serious tone: "Don't say such unlucky words."

"Oh~" Yinzuo, who was murdered, lay back down sullenly, turned around with a little anger, and closed his eyes with his back to him.

Originally, he was thinking about when his brother would come to comfort him, but he didn't expect that after a while, he would really fall asleep in a daze. He was tired after spending a whole day with Erniang today.

"Yinzuo? Asleep?" Yinzhen got up, leaned over to look at the little guy, confirmed that he was indeed asleep, and hugged him into his arms again.

After a while, a very light but firm voice suddenly sounded in the quiet room.

"You'll be fine, never!"

After his younger sister died, Yinzuo got up early every day and went to Yonghe Palace to accompany Erniang. He was a sleepy person, but he insisted on it every day. Yinzhen was worried, so he went with him every day.

Kangxi also visited the Yonghe Palace once, and he had experienced such pain more times than Concubine De, so he could only persuade her to take it easy, they will have children in the future.

But Concubine De is the biological mother of the child, how could she let it go easily, although she said yes, but she was still thinking about it in her heart.

A whole month has passed, and Yinzhen couldn't bear to watch Yinzuo work so hard every day, and finally couldn't help but say something to E Niang in private.

"Emiang, the dead are gone, and the living are like this. My sister is your child, and so are Yinzuo and I. We are all worried about you. Yinzuo hasn't had a good sleep for a long time, and you should take care of him too. He, he is not yet three years old, he also needs Erniang."

The two sons came to Yonghe Palace to talk to her early every day, to make her happy, and they delayed going back until late. She also saw these concubines. Ever since Yinzhen finished what she said, her The emotions slowly subsided, at least in front of the two children.

"Brother, what can I do to make Er Niang happy?" Yin Zuo was sensitive, and he still noticed that Er Niang hadn't really let go. A person is dejected.

"Perhaps it would be nice if the mother had a next younger sister." Yinzhen was not very sure either.

"The next sister?"

"What's the next sister?" The imperial concubine suddenly walked in, followed by the eunuch carrying several boxes.

"Huanggui's mother~" Yin Zuo jumped off the chair and ran to her.

"Do you know what it takes Yinzuo to have a younger sister?" Yinzuo looked at her expectantly, waiting for her answer.

The imperial concubine smiled and picked him up, walked to the couch and sat down.

"Why does Xiao Yinzuo suddenly care about this?"

"Young lady Huanggui, why don't you tell Xiaoliu first~"

The imperial concubine coughed lightly, and said solemnly: "Naturally, the right time, place and people are needed."

"Xiao Liu doesn't understand, can Huanggui's mother be more simple~" Yinzuo tugged on her sleeve and acted like a baby.

"Okay, okay, I'll just tell you. The time of day, of course, refers to the beauty of the heavens. The location is right, even the place has to be right, and people are harmonious. It all depends on your Huang Ama." Speaking of this, The imperial concubine blushed slightly, she was really embarrassed to mention this in front of her children.

"God...place...Huang Ama?" Yinzuo murmured in a low voice.

"Then how can God agree?" Yin Zuo asked.

"General concubines want to pray for children, so naturally they send their children to Avalokitesvara, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, etc. There are temples outside the city that are said to be very effective, and many people go there to worship."

"The empress, can you take Yinzuo to pay respects?"

The imperial concubine was immediately amused by him, she nodded the little guy's forehead, and said with a smile: "You, you, it's not that easy to get out of the palace, but what you said, I really want to go Let’s pay our respects, the Double Ninth Festival will be in a few days, so it’s reasonable to climb high and look far away on the Double Ninth Festival.”

So, when the emperor came to Chengqian Palace for dinner on the second day, the imperial concubine found a suitable time to mention to the emperor about going to the royal temple outside the palace to worship Buddha.

"Your Majesty, the concubine is thinking, the palace is uneasy recently, the Empress Dowager is not feeling well, Concubine De's little Gege has just died, and there are still rumors of ghosts in the palace. It just happens that the Double Ninth Festival is just a few days away, so it is better for the concubine to accompany you." Let the emperor go to Tantuo Temple to pay homage, and it is the season to climb high and look far."

Kangxi has indeed been troubled by these things recently, but he hesitated.

At this moment, Yinzuo ran up to him and started acting like a baby.

"Huang Ama, go, go, Xiao Liu has never been out of the palace~"

Kangxi skillfully held the little guy in his arms and let him sit on his lap.

"Since Xiao Liu wants to go out of the palace so much, I will ask them to make arrangements in advance."

"Long live Huang Ama~" Yin Zuo was happy, and kissed Huang Ama on the face in front of everyone.

Kangxi wanted to laugh, but he had to take into account his emperor's majesty, so he could only pretend to be unhappy, and reprimanded softly: "Bold, you are despising the majesty of the emperor!"

Yin Zuo retracted into Huang Ama's arms in fear.

"Xiao Liu knew it was wrong, Ama Huang~"

The last ones who left the palace together were Imperial Concubine, Concubine Yi, Concubine Yi and Concubine De. Of course, Yin Zuo, who insisted on going with him, was also in the accompanying team.

Tantuo Temple is nearly [-] miles away from the Forbidden City. Sitting in a carriage along the way, Yin Zuo, who was still in high spirits at first, soon became bored. , I was very sleepy at first, and the ruts were pressed on the uneven official road, and the sound was particularly loud, and there were occasional bumps, so I couldn't sleep at all.

When he finally landed, Yin Zuo felt that he had finally come back to life.

Fortunately, the stairs in this temple were not too high, and it was quite interesting for a group of people to walk up while admiring the scenery. Yin Zuo was a small person, so he couldn't do it after walking for a while, and finally the guards in front of the imperial court carried him up.

After arriving in the temple, it gives people a warm and humid feeling, which is very different from the coldness in the ordinary deep mountains. Behind it is a peak named Baozhu Peak.

Looking up, there are towering ancient books around the temple. It happens to be autumn, and most of the leaves have turned yellow. Looking at the past in the blink of an eye, the yellow leaves are colorful, as bright as flowers, and the artistic conception is far away.

The monks in the temple had been waiting for a long time, and they put their hands together and said in unison: "Amitabha, welcome the emperor and all the ladies."

When we arrived at the temple, we naturally had to follow the procedure to pray for blessings and pray in unison, and even Yin Zuo obediently followed.

Next, the abbot was going to explain Buddhism to Kangxi and the four empresses alone, and Yinzuo came out by himself, Shunfeng, Shunshui, and Madam Cheng, plus two guards followed him to protect him.

Xu Zuo turned and turned, and walked a lot of places. The most interesting thing for him was that he saw a huge fish, which was made of stone and was hung in mid-air.

A little master who followed behind him said: "Sixth elder brother, this is a stone fish. It is said that it is owned by the Dragon King of the South China Sea. Touching it can cure all diseases."

Yin Zuo said in surprise: "It's so amazing? Can it make people conceive?"

This question really caught the little master, and he faltered and said: "This... this little monk has never heard the abbot talk about it."

Yinzuo didn't make things difficult for him, and said to himself: "Forget it, I'll ask myself later."

"Is there anything special about you here?" he asked again.

The little master thought for a while and replied: "There is a thousand-year-old ginkgo tree in the temple, how about I take you to see it?"

"Thousands of years? Okay, okay!" Yinzuo felt that if it could live for so long, it might be as fine as it said in the book.

When we got to the place, there was no need for the little master to introduce. I saw a big tree that could be hugged by ten people standing quietly not far away. The leaves had all turned golden yellow, and when the wind blew, the fallen leaves fluttered in the air, and after a while, they fell to the ground.

Yin Zuo couldn't help but stepped forward, stretched out his hand, and caught four pieces just in time.

Suddenly, a strange sound came from under the tree, and everyone quickly stood in front of Sixth Brother, looking vigilantly at the place where the sound came from, and suddenly a fiery red thing rushed out.

"What is this?" Yinzuo has never seen such a small thing, but he thinks it looks good.

"Brother Liu, this servant looks like a fox." Madam Cheng was the first to answer because she was well-informed.

"Fox?" Yin Zuo tilted his head, he found that this fox was particularly bold, and stared straight at him, which was much more interesting than the cats raised by the concubines in the palace.

The little master was worried that the two guards would hurt it, so he quickly stood up, opened his arms, and protected the little fox in front.

"Sixth brother, it is a fox on the nearby mountain, and occasionally it will come around this ginkgo tree, it will not hurt anyone, please don't hurt it!"

"Then back off a bit, don't hurt it." Yin Zuo told the two guards who had already drawn half of their knives.

"Yes!" The two guards withdrew their knives and stood still behind Sixth Brother.

"Is it hungry?" Yinzuo squatted down on the spot and asked.

"Maybe, otherwise it wouldn't have come to this temple. It must have come here because there was no food in the mountains and there was no way out." Mother Cheng speculated.

"Then what does it eat?"

"Meat, I guess!" The younger one answered smoothly.

Yinzuo suddenly remembered that his purse just happened to contain the dried meat that Luwu had prepared for him. The moment he opened the purse, the fox sniffed the smell and tentatively approached him.

"It seems that it really wants to eat meat."

Yinzuo took two more pieces of dried meat from his purse, put them on the ground in front of him, and looked at the fox with great interest.

Maybe it was because the jerky was so fragrant, and it was really hungry. In the end, it boldly stepped forward, lowered its head, picked up the jerky and ate it.

After eating, he licked his mouth, but he didn't think it was enough, and walked a few steps towards the only cub with jerky, then lay down on the ground, flicking his tail.

Yinzuo took out two more jerky and put them on the ground.

The fox immediately turned over and picked up the jerky and started eating again.

Yinzuo felt that its fur was smooth and smooth, so he couldn't help reaching out and touching it. After finding that it didn't resist, he touched its tail and ears.

"It's so cute~"

"You are cuter, Brother Six." The little master said very honestly.

Having been out for a stroll for quite a while, Mother Cheng was worried that the emperor's side was over, so she said, "Sixth brother, it's time for us to go back."

"Okay then, I'm leaving little fox, and if I have a chance in the future, I'll come and see you again~" Yinzuo was rather reluctant.

After touching it a few more times, Yinzuo finally stood up and walked back along the way he came.

"Where did you go shopping?" Kangxi knelt down and picked up Yin Zuo who had just returned.

"Go inside, Huang Ama, there is a stone fish there, the little master in the temple said, touching it can cure all diseases, Huang Ama, please take everyone to touch it, so that everyone will not be afraid of it. I'll be sick~"

Kangxi laughed heartily after listening to his son's childish language.

"Alright, since Xiao Liu is so filial, let's go and have a look together."

On the way there, Kangxi found that he was holding four golden leaves in his hand, which looked very pretty.

So he asked him, "What are you doing with these ordinary leaves?"

Yinzuo raised the leaves in his hand and said with a smile: "This is ginkgo leaves, and they are not ordinary leaves, they are leaves of a thousand-year-old ginkgo tree~"

"Oh? Is it true?" Hearing this, Kangxi became somewhat interested.

The abbot of Tantuo Temple smiled and said: "What brother Liu said is true. There is indeed a thousand-year-old ginkgo tree in this temple."

"Then do you know anything in this temple that can make me have more brothers and sisters? Besides curing all diseases, can that stone fish give me another sister? The little master said that only the abbot knows, you should be this The abbot of the temple, right?" Yinzuo was still thinking about the doubts just now, so he asked him curiously.

The abbot replied: "The stone fish can't do it, but the ginkgo tree is also called the 'Gongsun tree', which means that there are many sons and many blessings. The sixth elder brother has already found what you want, so why ask the old monk again."

"really?"

The abbot smiled and didn't answer.

"Huanggui Erniang, Erniang, here~" Yin Zuo handed the ginkgo leaf he was holding in front of the two Erniangs.

The imperial concubine and the concubine De were naturally very face-saving, they all took a piece from his hand with a smile, but the imperial concubine and concubine Yi stood a little embarrassed.

"There are still two slices left, Xiaoliu will give one slice to each of the two empresses~" Yin Zuo did not hide his secrets, but acted very generously.

Both Concubine Gui and Concubine Yi had been at odds with Concubine De, and when they looked at Yin Zuo's innocent, clear eyes without haze, they felt a little uncomfortable.

"Since it's Xiaoliu's kindness, you all should keep it." Kangxi just wanted to be auspicious, but he didn't really expect these four humble ginkgo leaves to have any effect.

"Yes."

Only then did Concubine Gui and Concubine Yi take a piece from Yin Zuo's hand.

Everyone didn't try to touch the stone fish, because the stone fish has been touched by countless people. As concubines, it would be good for them to touch it again.

The group had a vegetarian meal in this temple, took a short rest, and then set off to return to the palace. Before leaving, Yinzuo looked back subconsciously, and saw the greedy little fox who ate his jerky was hiding in the temple. Shi Dun secretly looked at him from behind.

The author says:

Four leaves, four children, all born in the same year, and our little six is ​​the little fairy boy who has been properly sent.
