[Qing Chuan] Yongzheng's embarrassing empress

The small clay stove was burning vigorously, and the kettle was whining with white mist.

The eighth elder brother lifted the kettle and poured water into the teapot. The boiling water made the tea float up and down, and a fragrance overflowed.

"Brother, are you still in the mood to drink tea? Those two brats from the fourth family's house are here, and the emperor sees them amiable, so you're not in a hurry?"

Elder Brother Shi pursed his lips, as if he hated iron but not steel.

The eighth elder brother smiled and said: "After all, they are relatives and grandchildren. The two children of the fourth brother are really likable. Not to mention the emperor likes it, I like it too."

Elder Brother Ten muttered, "Hmph, I don't like two cunning boys."

The Eighth Brother poured a cup of tea for the Tenth Brother with a smile. He was already used to his younger brother's outspokenness.

Brother Ten is impatient, he can't be as immobile as Brother Eight.

"Brother! Are you still in the mood for tea?" Brother Ten picked up the teacup and put it aside.

"The fourth brother dared to arrest the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. This is throwing Huang Ama's face on the ground and stomping on it. Now that his family's brats have come to plead guilty, the emperor has not blamed them. This is not a good omen."

The eighth elder brother blew on the cold tea and took a sip slowly.

"Tenth brother, tell me, why did I go to such great lengths to harm the fourth child?"

Elder Brother Ten said nonchalantly: "What else can you do, because you and the fourth child are not dealing with each other!"

In the beginning, the eighth sister-in-law was ignorant and had to make trouble with the fourth sister-in-law.The starling also had something wrong, he harmed the fourth sister-in-law for his own wife.In this way, he formed an alliance with the fourth brother's Liang Zi. After so many years, the hatred has long been inseparable.

The tenth elder brother stood on the eighth elder brother's side and had always supported the eighth elder brother without thinking, so he was happy to see the fourth elder brother be unlucky.But to be serious about the truth, it is the eighth elder brother who is unethical in the matter of feuding with the fourth elder brother.

Brother Ba smiled, "In your heart, am I such a narrow-minded person?"

The tenth elder brother said in his heart: You must have nothing to say to me and the ninth brother, but to the fourth brother... you are indeed a little narrow-minded.

The eighth elder brother explained: "If it's for the great cause, I can bow my knees to the fourth brother. I'm not a person who can't shame me. But if you think about it carefully, among these princes, who is Huang Ama most interested in?"

The tenth elder brother said: "The eldest brother must be out of action, Huang Ama takes him seriously. Second brother, Huang Ama doesn't need to set the prince as a target, and he has no chance.

The third brother does have the heart, but unfortunately he doesn't have the guts, he is always hesitant, and I don't think he can accomplish anything big.The fourth brother, fifth brother, seventh brother and the old thirteen are all the kind of people who can get by, and we are the rest.

Old Fourteen is a bit interesting, despite his young age, he is quite ambitious. "

The eighth elder brother smiled and shook his head, "Most of what you said is right, only one point is wrong. The fourth brother is different from the fifth and seventh brothers. He is not a person who just gets by."

The eighth elder brother poured himself another cup of tea, and he said with emotion: "The fourth brother also has great ambitions, haven't you noticed? The fourth brother will do all the errands assigned by Huang Ama to perfection, and will never let the emperor Ah Ma is disappointed. During the holidays, Huang Ah Ma and the Empress Dowager celebrate their birthdays, the fourth brother and the fourth sister-in-law will definitely prepare gifts carefully to please the old man."

The tenth brother recalled what the fourth brother had done these years, and he couldn't stop nodding.

"Brother is right. The fourth brother is really good at pleasing the old man. Tsk, Brother Nine and I also spent our money when the old man celebrated his birthday. Tell me, mynah, how come Huang Ama doesn't appreciate it?" ?”

The eighth elder brother couldn't understand, "Maybe Huang Ama is partial!"

The eighth elder brother brought the topic back again, "Now the third brother and the fourth brother have been named princes. The two of them were born early, and they have already had their own power. They are good candidates to inherit the throne. And..."

The eighth elder brother's voice lowered, "And their mother-in-law has long been a concubine, and her status and family background are better than my mother's. Especially the fourth brother, he was once raised under the queen's knee, and he is considered a half-legal son."

Elder Brother Shi felt a pain in his heart, Concubine Liang had a bad background, which made myna suffer.

Eighth brother quickly let go of the discomfort in his heart, and continued to discuss business with tenth brother.

"The young prince can't see anything for the time being, but among the grown princes, the general among the short ones, the emperor must like the fourth brother more."

The eighth elder brother said coldly, "I am not liked by Huang Ama now, and I am getting farther and farther away from that position, but as long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will not give up. If Huang Ama says I can't make it, then all the princes will fail." . Fourth brother is a man of glory, and I also want to stain him with stains."

The eighth elder brother was ruthless, and the emperor despised him, so let all the princes be stained, and everyone will sink together.After dragging others into the water, the eighth elder brother didn't believe it, and the emperor still refused to consider him.

Elder Brother Ten moved the teacup back and took a sip.

Although he has a good relationship with the eighth elder brother, he can't help being shocked by the eighth elder brother's ruthlessness.

The eighth elder brother smiled and said to the tenth elder brother: "This time, I wanted to make a fool of the fourth brother. Although he failed, but he tied up the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, our goal has been achieved. Huang Ama seems not to blame What he meant, but his old man's mind has always been difficult to guess.

When I like you, I can't wait to give you all the good things and be tolerant to you; when I hate you, everything you do is wrong, and I can't wait to send you to hell.

Just wait and see, Huang Ama's patience is limited.What is good for a while may not be really good.On this point, you can trust me, isn't that what Huang Ama did to me before? "

Elder Brother Ten thought about it and felt that there was some truth in this statement. He nodded in agreement, concentrated on drinking tea, and did not speak any more.

Time soon came when Mulan was in autumn. Although the fourth elder brother recovered, he still hurt his body.In the past, there was no problem in practicing martial arts and horseback riding, but now he has to breathe for a while after walking a few steps.

The emperor exempted him from going to the Mulan paddock on the grounds that his leg injury was not healed, and Kang Bao and Xiao Bao attended this grand hunting event on behalf of their father.

Shuwan and the fourth elder brother stayed in the lion garden, but suddenly the children left, Shuwan and the fourth elder brother felt that the garden was empty.

It was the time when Shuwan complained the most during the meal.

"When the children were here, our family was so lively talking and laughing. Now that the children are gone, the garden has become deserted."

The fourth elder brother said: "The reason why the garden is deserted is because you have a group of servants, and there are only a few around you, so of course you will feel deserted. Later, I will send someone from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to come over, or find someone to buy some servants. .”

Shuwan rolled her eyes, "Can maids and servants compare with children? I can hire many maids and nurses in my life, but how many children can I have in my life?"

The fourth elder brother persuaded with a smile: "You are worried about the children, and I am too! But when the children grow up, you have to let them go out to practice!"

Shuwan poked at the rice in the bowl, without any appetite.

"I heard that the epidemic has recently broken out around here, and I don't know how Kang Bao and Xiaobao are doing. Will anyone in the emperor's team get sick? Can Kang Bao and Xiaobao take care of themselves?"

The fourth elder brother is also worried about the children, but he has to comfort Shuwan.

"Don't worry, the emperor's body is the most important thing. The emperor's entourage is the safest place. It is safer for children to follow the emperor than to follow us."

Shuwan sighed, "I hope so!"

The fourth elder brother brought food for Shuwan, "Whether you like it or not, eat as much as you want, don't starve."

The fourth elder brother and Shuwan were still worried about Kang Bao and Xiao Bao, but they didn't expect that the epidemic would find them first.

The thing happened like this, because Shuwan heard that someone nearby had a seasonal epidemic, which was highly contagious, so Shuwan ordered that, except for those who delivered food and supplies, they could enter and leave, and everyone else stayed in the garden and were not allowed to walk around at will. Not allowed to whisper.

Originally, there was no problem with such an arrangement, but there are always people who are foolish and bold, and don't take their own lives and the lives of others seriously.

A servant couldn't bear to stay in his small room all day, so he said hello to the person who delivered the vegetables and meat, and sneaked out of the lion garden, insisting on seeing the outside world.

It's really good to see the scenery outside, but he caught the epidemic when he came back.Because the report was not timely, he also implicated other court ladies and eunuchs, causing the servants to lie down halfway.

Shuwan was about to die of anger, there was not enough manpower, and now half of the fallen need others to take care of them with food, drink and medicine.How can the Lion Park operate normally without manpower?

She cleaned up the mess in a hurry, first isolated those who should be treated in isolation, and then sprayed purified spirits all over the yard for disinfection.

After she arranged the manpower for the Lion Garden, before she could breathe a sigh of relief, the fourth elder brother fell ill again.

Originally, the fourth elder brother was too deficient, and his body was weak. Now that an infectious disease has invaded, he can't resist the serious illness at all, and he gets sick faster than anyone else.

At first, the fourth elder brother had a headache and a fever. He was afraid that Shuwan would get sick, so he refused to let Shuwan take care of him.

As a result, within two days, the fourth elder brother's condition worsened.He was burning hot, and he was still shivering, screaming from the cold.Not only that, but his fever was so bad that he started talking nonsense.

Where can Shuwan sit still?She wrote a letter to Kang Bao and Xiao Bao and ordered it to be sent to Mulan Paddock.The letter told Kang Bao Xiaobao not to go back to the lion garden, and to follow the emperor after the hunt was over, not to run around.

After passing the letter to the children, Shuwan took the risk of contracting the epidemic and came to the fourth elder brother to take care of her.
