The Forest of Red Mansions
Chapter 82
Two young women rushed in and kowtowed to plead guilty.
Concubine De scolded a few words harshly, then waved her hands impatiently, and said: "Okay, hurry up and hug Eighteenth Elder Brother to coax him, if you dare to neglect your duties next time, if something happens to Eighteenth Elder Brother I must have exposed your skin!"
"By the way, I was in a trance just now, as if I heard someone crying outside? Who is it?"
"Go back to your empress, it's Xue Changzai." The maid in front of Concubine De immediately replied: "I think I heard Elder Brother Eighteen crying so hard, I can't rest assured and want to take a look, after all mother and child are connected."
Concubine De sighed softly when she heard the words, "Hey, I'm sorry to see you, that's all, give Elder Brother Eighteen to her and tell her to take a look."
The nanny carried the child out according to her words, and the room became much cleaner all of a sudden.
The palace people around him immediately smiled and flattered, "Your Majesty is kind."
Lin Jinyao looked at Concubine De's behavior like this, but felt that it was disgustingly hypocritical. Standing on the sidelines and not saying anything superfluous, she had a deeper understanding of Concubine De's cold-blooded viciousness in her heart. .
"You, the fourth family, sit down too."
"Xie De's mother."
"From the fourth brother's family, you have been married to the fourth child for some time, this stomach..."
Lin Jinyao was taken aback, it's only been two or three months, right?Who is in such a hurry to urge the child?
Instinctively, she became vigilant, this concubine De had no good intentions.
"It's not that I want to put pressure on you, it's just that the fourth child is not young after all. As my mother, I can't help but feel anxious. I hope you can understand my mother's heart."
Motherly heart?do you have heart
Lin Jinyao sneered, but did not answer.
Seeing her like this, Concubine De couldn't help frowning, she thought she was a cute and smart girl, but she turned out to be an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf!It was only then that the relationship with that bitch was eased a little, and she was not taken seriously as a Concubine De, which is really good.
Feeling uneasy, the smile on Concubine De's face faded a bit, "Now the fourth child is surrounded by only you as a concubine Fujin, and there is no one serving beside him. After all, it is still too deserted. Some, as the first wife, you are responsible for arranging and serving your husband properly."
This is the fortress.
She had been mentally prepared for a long time, and Lin Jinyao didn't feel that it was too difficult to bear, so she just said lightly: "De'eniang taught you well." The expression on her face never changed.
This actually disappointed Concubine De who planned to see her in distress.
"You are really a virtuous person." After boasting casually, Concubine De changed the subject, pointed to the two maids in front of her, and said: "These two have served me for a long time, and they are very well-behaved. If you are sensible, you can take it home and arrange it, and in the future, I will feel at ease when they will share the burden for you and help take care of the fourth child together."
Lin Jinyao looked up at the two of them, they looked very pretty, their figures were even more graceful, and they both had good skins.
When the two saw Lin Jinyao looking at them, they were both expectant and apprehensive for a moment, their pretty faces were shy, and they bowed politely, "I have seen Sifu Jin."
The voice is delicate, gentle and sweet, it can drip honey.
At first glance, there are two charming goblins!
Lin Jinyao smacked the villain secretly, but her face was still gentle and obedient, showing a bit embarrassed expression.
Concubine De was secretly happy when she saw it. Sure enough, is there any woman in this world who is really generous enough to push her man into the arms of other women?See how long you can hold it!
"Why, you don't want to?" Concubine De reprimanded with a cold face: "The old four's family, this jealousy has violated the seven outlaws, don't be confused, remember your identity, you are the fourth His first wife has the responsibility and obligation to spread the branches and leaves for him."
"De'eriang misunderstood, it's not that the daughter-in-law is unwilling, it's just..." Lin Jinyao said helplessly: "De'ernian doesn't know something. Earlier, my daughter-in-law suggested to the fourth master to arrange two servants for him, but who Knowing my good intentions, I was severely reprimanded by Fourth Master."
Concubine De frowned, "What does this mean?"
"The fourth master said that he has only been in the imperial court for two years. When he was going to study hard and do errands to share the worries of Huang Ama, he was all focused on his official duties. At this time, he made a bunch of Yingying Yanyan What are you doing? Isn't that disturbing his mind and wasting his energy? How can he have extra thoughts and energy to deal with those women? Saying that I, Fujin, is just idle and flustered, trying to find things for him, adding to the chaos and being a monster Because of this, he gave me a hard training, and he never gave me a good face for several days."
The more Concubine De listened, the more she felt that something was wrong. Why was she so busy looking for troubles and making troubles to drag her back?Why do you think she is pointing at Sang and scolding Huai?
"There is another very real problem in front of me..." Lin Jinyao's expression became more helpless, with a little embarrassment. Live, now there are about a dozen elder brothers living in one elder brother's house, the place is really crowded, and the fifth elder brother is also getting married, and soon the seventh and eighth elder brothers will also get married, when Xin Fujin enters the door It got even more crowded."
"To tell you the truth, our courtyard is really crowded with people. The servants in the house are at least four people in one room. With this arrangement, I can't even get enough people around me. There is really no place to settle, so we can only give up for the time being. But the people who serve the master are not court ladies and eunuchs after all, so they can't live in a room with several people, it's not ridiculous."
"My daughter-in-law understands De'er's mother's kindness and is very moved, but she really has no choice. No matter what, she doesn't dare to be the master of the fourth master... Otherwise, the daughter-in-law will go back and take De'er's mother first." If the fourth master agrees, then the affairs of the house will be taken care of by the daughter-in-law, and even if the number of palace attendants is reduced, the daughter-in-law will definitely free up the house."
Let her finish all the good and bad things, what else can Concubine De say?For a moment, he was speechless.
"Smart teeth." Concubine De sneered, and said lightly: "Forget it, just do as you say. After asking the fourth child, I will say it for his own good. If he doesn't want to, I will do bad things with good intentions." .”
"Okay, let's stop here today, you go back."
"Yes, the daughter-in-law will leave first, and come to see De'eriang tomorrow."
Lin Jinyao won the battle, but she didn't feel happy at all in her heart. She knew very well that it would be a matter of time before she added people to the courtyard. She could block it once, twice, but couldn't stop the third round and the fourth round. It can be blocked for a while, but it cannot be blocked for a lifetime, that day will come after all.
She is not angry and sad, but just a little helpless. Life is unsatisfactory, nine out of ten, there are always some things you don't want to do, but you are powerless to resist, there are always some things you don't want to face, but you have to face.
She only hopes that fourth master's heart can be firm to the end, otherwise... If you don't have the heart, I will quit!
Just about to leave the Yonghe Palace, he suddenly heard a familiar voice behind him, "Si Fujin, do you have time to sit in my room? We haven't spoken for a long time, I..."
Lin Jinyao stopped and turned around, and saw Xue Baochai standing there with the child in her arms, with that familiar gentle smile still on her face.
What Xue Baochai wanted to say to her, in fact, she could guess it. Life in the palace was difficult, and it was even more difficult under the hands of Concubine De. Xue Baochai had no one to rely on except herself, and wanted to find her This Sifujin just wanted to recall the past with her and get closer to her.
However, Lin Jinyao was not interested in saying anything more to her, so she just smiled and said, "I'm afraid it won't happen today, I have something to do later, if I have a chance in the future, I will bother Xue Changzai again."
The smile on Xue Baochai's face froze slightly, and her heart was full of sadness.
She was really helpless, although Concubine De had never killed her, she had tortured her so much that her life was worse than death, but she was just a girl from a down-and-out merchant family, what could she rely on to fight Concubine De?As long as there is still some way, she will never ask Lin Jinyao.
She gritted her teeth and bravely risked her face and dignity, and wanted to beg the other party to give her a little help, but who knew that he didn't even want to give her the chance to speak, and she didn't see the slightest bit of distress when she saw her just now She was so moved that she completely disregarded the sisterhood she had back then... She really is a person who couldn't be more cold-hearted.
Lin Jinyao was about to leave, but suddenly saw a crazy woman with disheveled hair running towards Xue Baochai, and before everyone could react, she grabbed the child in her arms and held it up high. He fell hard to the ground.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Lin Jinyao subconsciously threw herself forward, grabbing the child into her arms before landing, but she lost her center of gravity and fell to the ground with a thud.
"Wow..." The child burst into tears in shock.
Only then did the frightened crowd around them come to their senses, and immediately became a mess.
"Fujin!"
"Eighteen brothers!"
"Fu Jin, how are you? Where did you fall? Hurry up and get the imperial physician!" The palace people hurriedly helped her up.
At this time, the crazy woman was also detained by several palace men.
Xue Baochai took two steps forward and snatched the child away, holding her tightly in her arms until tears flowed down her face, her face full of panic and fear.
Lin Jinyao didn't care about her rudeness, she looked down at the bottom of her tall flower pot, and said helplessly, "I sprained my ankle."
"Why don't Fujin go inside and rest for a while, wait for the imperial doctor to come and have a look..."
"It's better not to bother Empress Concubine De, just ask the imperial doctor to go directly to Elder Brother."
"Then Fujin, wait a moment, this servant is going to ask Empress Defei to arrange a sedan chair."
This time Concubine De did not make things difficult for her, and the sedan chair was quickly brought.
A group of people carried Lin Jinyao back to Elder Brother's office in a hurry before entering the house, and the imperial physician followed.
It's not a big deal, it's just that the ankle is sprained, whether it's serious or not, it's nothing else, but there is a saying that goes well, it hurts the muscles and bones for a hundred days, this foot, I'm afraid I will not be able to walk for a few more days.
"Fu Jin, do you want to report to Fourth Master?"
"No need, it's not a big deal. Fourth master is busy. Don't bother fourth master with trivial matters. What should the emperor think when he finds out?"
"Yes, Fujin learned the lesson well, the servant knows his mistake." Zhiqi hastily admitted his mistake.
Lin Jinyao waved her hand and asked someone to help her onto the kang, which was tilted.
Recalling everything that happened just now in her mind, she still couldn't stop her heart from jumping with fear, and she couldn't stop the chills all over her body.
In such a huge Yonghe Palace, the guards are not to mention very strict, but it is by no means that anyone can break in at will. How did such a crazy woman who is obviously different from ordinary people break in easily?Obviously, someone deliberately opened the door for convenience!
She wondered why Concubine De was so kind today, how long had the child been hugged to her knees, lived together in the Yonghe Palace, Xue Baochai had never even seen the child again, how could she be so kind today and hug the child to him Xue Baochai?When something goes wrong, there must be a demon.
Looking back and forth, Lin Jinyao made a bold guess that all of this was designed by Concubine De!
Without the permission of her master, who would dare to let a crazy woman in easily?Carrying the child to Xue Baochai, in the name of giving her a loving mother, is actually just to throw all the responsibility on Xue Baochai.
The child has been raised in the hands of Concubine De for so long without any accident. It's not that Concubine De has compassion and can't bear to touch mere children, but you can see how she treats the child today. Such a small child, she was stunned. It is because she can regard the child's heart-piercing cry as a lullaby, her heart is terribly cold. The reason why she is reluctant to raise the child well is that she cannot afford the guilt. , and if the child happened in the hands of Xue Baochai's own mother, then it has nothing to do with her Concubine De.
Furthermore, seeing the child being thrown to death in front of his own eyes, as a mother, how would Xue Baochai feel?Don't talk about the pain in the heart, I'm afraid it's just painful, and now there is one in her belly, how can a pregnant woman bear such a big stimulus?At that time, don't say whether the child in the stomach can be saved or not, if you don't have two dead bodies, you will be dead.
The last point, why did this incident happen in front of her eyes by such a coincidence?Lin Jinyao also had a guess in her heart. I'm afraid it's not a coincidence. It's very likely that she was included in the list. She was frightened and seriously ill. The real purpose of Concubine De is probably to make an example of others.
He wanted to tell her to see what would happen to the person who opposed her Concubine De, it was a warning and a threat.
"Fujin."
"What's wrong? What's the matter?"
Zhishu hesitated and said, "Does Fujin know who that crazy woman is?"
Lin Jinyao was taken aback, "What? Could it be that I know you?"
Zhishu nodded and said: "That person is the Xiande Concubine back then."
Concubine Xiande?Jia Yuanchun?
At this moment, Lin Jinyao was really stunned.
Recalling it carefully, the crazy woman just now was all dirty and messy, her hair was gray and her wrinkled face was covered with wrinkles, she was clearly an old woman, and how old was Jia Yuanchun?They definitely don't look like the same person!
"No mistake? Is it really Jia Yuanchun?"
"It's absolutely true." Zhishu also showed obvious disbelief on his face, "At first I thought I had heard it wrong, but who would have thought that the old and crazy woman would be..."
Nanny Saihan said indifferently: "It's not too unbelievable. That Xinzheku is not a place for people to stay in. Not to mention that everyone is exhausted, and those in charge are all faulty, which tortures people. There are so many tricks and no taboos, how can Jia Yuanchun bear the crime? Thinking about Xue Changzai, he never asked people to 'take care' of her, this is really unbearable, so he wants to die."
Thinking about it carefully, even though Xue Baochai is only a permanent presence, she is still the emperor's woman, she is a young master, and she gave birth to another prince. How dare the people in Xin Zhekuli offend her?In addition, Xue Baochai has nothing else, I am afraid that there is still some money, money can make ghosts turn the clock, who is afraid of dealing with Jia Yuanchun whose family is in trouble?
Back then when Xue Baochai framed him and entered Xin Zheku, Jia Yuanchun had never done such a violent and crazy thing, which is enough to show that Jia Yuanchun still didn't want to die, and even had some extravagant hopes, but today he suddenly did such a crazy thing. I'm afraid I was tortured to the point where I couldn't bear it anymore, and I hated Xue Baochai to the bone.
Lin Jinyao shook her head helplessly, she really committed a crime on her own.
"Then Jia Yuanchun now..."
A voice came from outside the door, "Dead, murdering the prince is an unforgivable crime, I will die with a stick."
"Slave pays respects to fourth elder brother."
"Fourth Master? Why are you back at this time?"
The fourth master glanced at her wrapped ankles, and snorted coldly with a dark face, "Master, this is not a great hero who rushed back to pay respects to our family, but he is really amazing, self-sacrificing for others, amazing, really amazing!"
Lin Jinyao sneered, "Isn't this a subconscious reaction, such a milk doll..."
Seeing that he was still letting out the air-conditioning with a "swish" face, Lin Jinyao hurriedly winked, sent all the servants out, and then put on all her shame, rubbing against Fourth Master's body.
"Oh, I know I'm wrong, sir, don't be angry, don't be angry, don't be angry, okay? I promise to refuse to do such a thing!"
The fourth master stared at her coldly, "I didn't know that my family Fujin still has such a spirit of self-sacrifice and dedication. If the other party has a knife in his hand today, don't you subconsciously block it?"
"No! I'm not stupid, I cherish my little life, really!"
"Hmph, it's best. I'm warning you, no matter what happens next time, no matter if it's a child or an old man, even if it's Er Niang or Huang Ama or even me, stay away from me. Hide as far as you can at the first time, don't rush forward foolishly! Do you think that after a few years of kung fu practice, you can use a few whips and become a chivalrous woman? If you really want to meet a bad guy, just rely on your two skills Your hand can be destroyed by you, you can give me a little heart!"
Lin Jinyao pursed her mouth, and tears fell down.
The fourth master looked at it, and immediately became angry and funny, "You may be impatient, and you will cry for me if you tell me a few words? It's alright, don't cry, am I worried about you? It was hard to get it back, are you I don't know how nervous I am, worrying about your safety... I just wish I could tie you to my belt and take you wherever I go... I really can't bear the pain of losing you anymore... Yaoyao, Promise me, don't be so impulsive again in the future, I would rather you be a cold-blooded and selfish person, as long as you give me a good life."
Lin Jinyao snuggled into his arms obediently, with her arms tightly wrapped around his waist, she nodded repeatedly when she heard the words, "I know, there will definitely be no next time."
"Okay, the goal has been achieved, you should quickly put away your tears." The fourth master smiled helplessly, "You, you are a ghost, you are used to restraining me."
Lin Jinyao smiled sweetly, "Because my master loves me. With your shrewdness, who can deceive you? Only if you are willing to be deceived, otherwise, no matter how many ideas I have, it will be useless. By the way, Lord, where did those come from?"
"The Empress Dowager, Huang Ama, and Er Niang rewarded you. The hero of our family has made a great contribution today."
"It's over after we've agreed. Why are you still burying me, sir? That's too much."
The fourth master pinched her face fiercely as if venting his anger, and said: "I know that your foot is injured, Huang Ama has given you special permission that you don't have to go to pay your respects until the injury recovers, so you can rest."
This time, Kangxi is really grateful to Lin Jinyao. Although he has a lot of old sons, he still looks forward to and loves the newborn children very much, especially the older sons are getting older and disobedient. Demon, he loves his younger son even more.
The accident that happened to the Eighteenth Elder Brother this time really made his heart skip a beat. Fortunately, he was rescued by Lin Jinyao in time, otherwise he would really have wished to drag out the rest of the Jia family who were dying. cut.
Two days later, Xue Baochai came to elder brother's place with some gifts, saying that he wanted to thank Si Fujin for saving his son.
Lin Jinyao didn't want to have anything to do with her and saved the child, but it was just for the sake of the child's innocence. It doesn't mean that she has forgotten what Xue Baochai and Aunt Xue did to her brothers and sisters in the Lin family. If given the chance, she would definitely step on Xue Baochai hard.
There were too many people, and she couldn't keep Xue Baochai out, so she had to be patient and invite people in, exchanged a few words of greeting, and listened to the words of thanks. It was difficult, so Lin Jinyao couldn't bear it anymore, and directly excused her discomfort to see off the guests.
This Xue Baochai has not changed at all, she is still working hard, no, it should be said that she has changed, she has become more calculating.
It was only her own flesh and blood who suffered such a catastrophe, and she actually started to think about it.
And she had heard that Xue Baochai had fallen ill for the past two days because of being overly frightened, and was awakened by nightmares every night, crying uncontrollably every time, which made the emperor feel at ease, and rested at her place one after another, and still woke up at night. Called water.
This is really amazing. She was so frightened that she couldn't sleep well, yet she still had the heart to have sex with a man?Really great!
Lin Jinyao became more and more contemptuous of Xue Baochai. She thought she at least truly loved her son, but now it seems that this love may be true, but it is still not pure after all.
In the evening, Fourth Master came back with an unexpected news.
"The old lady of the Jia family has gone."
Lin Jinyao was stunned, "The old lady... died?"
Fourth Master nodded and looked at her worriedly, "Are you all right?"
"It's okay, what can I do." Lin Jinyao sighed softly: "It's not like you don't know, my relationship with that old lady... I'm not that kind and I feel sad for her, but I just feel a little surprised At the beginning, the Jia family suffered so much, and the old lady suffered so much, she just suffered a stroke, and all of a sudden..."
"I'm afraid it's because of Jia Yuanchun's death." The fourth master sneered and said, "The reason why I was holding my breath back then was that the old lady had wildly hoped that Jia Yuanchun in the palace would come back to favor. Now Jia Yuanchun But he committed a serious crime and was sentenced to death, the last sliver of vague thoughts disappeared, and it was expected that he would not be able to hold on."
Lin Jinyao shook her head and sighed, "Forget it, let's not talk about her, death is like a lamp going out, and all hatred and resentment will go with the wind."
……
The days of recuperating were both leisurely and boring. It snowed twice in the past three days, and it was not suitable to go out in the freezing and snowy environment. It was not even possible to bask in the sun in the yard. Lin Jinyao could only huddle in the room every day, it was really boring.
Fortunately, Fourth Master felt sorry for her, and specially found a lot of story books and travel notes for her, and told her to read them when she was free, so as to pass the time. Occasionally, Wufujin Narentoya would come to sit and talk with her, The days are pretty comfortable.
As time passed by day by day, in a blink of an eye it was the day when the seventh elder brother got married.
The seventh elder brother Yinyou was born with a disability in his legs and feet. Although it was not very serious, it was obvious that he was limping when he walked.
Because of this, Yinyou probably has some low self-esteem, his temper is very dull and he doesn't like to talk, and he is not taken seriously. He is like an invisible person among the elder brothers who are full of dragons and phoenixes, but fortunately, Kangxi treats this son well. Not bad, you can tell from the name given to him, woo, bless, bless.
Yinyou's descendant, Fujin Nala, is the daughter of Faka, the deputy governor. This background can be regarded as relatively good. Obviously, Kangxi really cares about this son.
Lin Jinyao was not able to attend the wedding day. Her feet were still not good enough, and she was limping when she walked, let alone wearing the bottom of a tall flower pot. It would be really bad if she accidentally sprained her again, so Fourth master refused to ask her to attend no matter what.
Fortunately, the few above understood her situation very well, and they didn't care about it, and they happily allowed her to recover from her injuries.
After the seventh elder brother, it's the eighth elder brother's turn. However, the eighth elder brother's wedding is not this year, but is scheduled for the first month of the next year. Once this year is over, it will be soon.
Lin Jinyao didn't have much time to feel sad in the first New Year without her family. Without him, there were too many banquets, large and small, in the palace during the New Year's Eve, and there were various sacrifices to attend. Kowtowing made people dizzy, and when they went home and took off their clothes, they found that their knees were all blue, which made Lin Jinyao wish to imitate a very famous bird and make two pairs of "easy to kneel".
But thinking of such a majestic and solemn occasion, if something was missed, it would be really... Lin Jinyao trembled, and had no choice but to give up this temptation.
Fortunately, all the officials would come to the palace banquet the day before the New Year's Eve, so Lin Jinyao and her family had a quick meeting. Although there was no time to say a word, it was comforting to have a glimpse from a distance.
The next day was the royal family banquet, but this person was not too small, all the concubines in the palace, the prince Fujin, the princess Gege, and those clan relatives all added up to an extremely spectacular team.
Sitting beside fourth master, Lin Jinyao looked at the table full of rich chicken, duck, fish and all kinds of delicacies from mountains and seas, but felt a little nauseous, so she had to try her best to eat something lighter.
Fourth master brought a piece of steamed fish to her, who put it into her mouth without thinking, Lin Jinyao suddenly felt sick to her stomach, she quickly covered her mouth and turned her head away.
"What's the matter?" Fourth Master put down the bowl and chopsticks, poured her a cup of tea quickly, and looked at her worriedly.
Lin Jinyao shook her head, but suddenly heard a surprised voice from above, "Looking at the appearance of the fourth daughter-in-law, she must be pregnant?"
At a glance, it was De Fei's loving and surprised face.
Lin Jinyao rubbed her stomach subconsciously, but after thinking about it, she has only been clean for a few days, so she shouldn't be... But what if?
For a while, Lin Jinyao also felt a little hesitant.
The Queen Mother also couldn't help showing surprise, "Maybe it's true, why don't you call the imperial doctor to take a look?"
Kangxi was about to send someone to pass on to the imperial physician, but the fourth master said: "No need for Huang Ama, Fujin just got cold in the past two days and nights, and his stomach feels a little uncomfortable, so it's not a problem."
Hearing this, the people above were a little disappointed, but they didn't say anything, they just didn't bring up the matter of the imperial physician.
Lin Jinyao finally breathed a sigh of relief. If she hastily invited the imperial physician, but found out that she was not pregnant, it would be really embarrassing and disappointing.
Unexpectedly, this tone was not relieved to the end, but I heard Concubine De said again: "Fourth brother, I'd better invite the imperial doctor to come and check Fujin carefully for you tomorrow. The two of you have been married for several months, so you may not Do you have it in your stomach? Even if you don’t, it’s good to recuperate your body earlier.”
Doesn't this imply that she is not pregnant so far and has something wrong with her body?
Seeing Concubine De's loving and caring smile, Lin Jinyao felt a shock in her heart.
"Okay, what are you talking about during the Chinese New Year?" The imperial concubine glanced at her lightly, "It's only been a few days since the two children got married, and it's not such a rush to hug a grandson."
"The imperial concubine is right. It's a good thing if you have it. Don't worry if you don't have it. How long will it be? Okay, don't talk about it, eat vegetables."
Once the empress dowager spoke, no one would talk too much, it was time to eat and drink.
From the beginning to the end, Kangxi never said a word, never even moved his eyelids, no one could see what was going on in his heart, and whether he could see the tricks between the women.
After drinking for three rounds, everyone gradually let go. All the princes and elder brothers looked harmonious, toasted and laughed at each other, and even Yinfeng and Yinfeng drank a few cups with their shoulders crossed. Just like that hallucination, those who didn't know it really thought that these brothers and sisters were all deeply affectionate and respectful brothers and sisters.
I have to say, the people in the royal family are all born good actors.
"Look at old eight."
Lin Jinyao searched the crowd after hearing the words, but saw that eighth elder brother Yinhu was toasting Prince Yu with a smile on his face, which made people feel good about him.
"Tsk tsk tsk, eighth brother is poaching the corner of your wall, sir, are you not in a hurry just doing this?" Lin Jinyao teased.
"Dare to joke, are you really courageous?" The fourth master gave her a dark look, then glanced at Yinhu, and said with a sneer: "It is commendable to have ideas and courage, but it is too hearty." I'm in a hurry." As he spoke, he glanced at Yinfei pointingly.
Lin Jinyao looked along, just in time to see the big elder brother Yinzhen looking in the direction of Yinhu and Prince Yu with a half-smile. The smile on his face was a bit dangerous.
"Old Ba has always regarded himself as a big brother. He hides behind the boss and develops secretly. He is smart, but he is still a little impatient after all. The boss is not a fool. If he moves a little, the boss should follow him."
Lin Jinyao rolled her eyes, "Which one of you brothers is really stupid? Everyone is so smart." As far as the older ones are concerned, except for the youngest Yinzhi and the seventh Yinyou , which other is not Yun Wen Yun Wu?Really people are more popular than people.
Concubine De scolded a few words harshly, then waved her hands impatiently, and said: "Okay, hurry up and hug Eighteenth Elder Brother to coax him, if you dare to neglect your duties next time, if something happens to Eighteenth Elder Brother I must have exposed your skin!"
"By the way, I was in a trance just now, as if I heard someone crying outside? Who is it?"
"Go back to your empress, it's Xue Changzai." The maid in front of Concubine De immediately replied: "I think I heard Elder Brother Eighteen crying so hard, I can't rest assured and want to take a look, after all mother and child are connected."
Concubine De sighed softly when she heard the words, "Hey, I'm sorry to see you, that's all, give Elder Brother Eighteen to her and tell her to take a look."
The nanny carried the child out according to her words, and the room became much cleaner all of a sudden.
The palace people around him immediately smiled and flattered, "Your Majesty is kind."
Lin Jinyao looked at Concubine De's behavior like this, but felt that it was disgustingly hypocritical. Standing on the sidelines and not saying anything superfluous, she had a deeper understanding of Concubine De's cold-blooded viciousness in her heart. .
"You, the fourth family, sit down too."
"Xie De's mother."
"From the fourth brother's family, you have been married to the fourth child for some time, this stomach..."
Lin Jinyao was taken aback, it's only been two or three months, right?Who is in such a hurry to urge the child?
Instinctively, she became vigilant, this concubine De had no good intentions.
"It's not that I want to put pressure on you, it's just that the fourth child is not young after all. As my mother, I can't help but feel anxious. I hope you can understand my mother's heart."
Motherly heart?do you have heart
Lin Jinyao sneered, but did not answer.
Seeing her like this, Concubine De couldn't help frowning, she thought she was a cute and smart girl, but she turned out to be an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf!It was only then that the relationship with that bitch was eased a little, and she was not taken seriously as a Concubine De, which is really good.
Feeling uneasy, the smile on Concubine De's face faded a bit, "Now the fourth child is surrounded by only you as a concubine Fujin, and there is no one serving beside him. After all, it is still too deserted. Some, as the first wife, you are responsible for arranging and serving your husband properly."
This is the fortress.
She had been mentally prepared for a long time, and Lin Jinyao didn't feel that it was too difficult to bear, so she just said lightly: "De'eniang taught you well." The expression on her face never changed.
This actually disappointed Concubine De who planned to see her in distress.
"You are really a virtuous person." After boasting casually, Concubine De changed the subject, pointed to the two maids in front of her, and said: "These two have served me for a long time, and they are very well-behaved. If you are sensible, you can take it home and arrange it, and in the future, I will feel at ease when they will share the burden for you and help take care of the fourth child together."
Lin Jinyao looked up at the two of them, they looked very pretty, their figures were even more graceful, and they both had good skins.
When the two saw Lin Jinyao looking at them, they were both expectant and apprehensive for a moment, their pretty faces were shy, and they bowed politely, "I have seen Sifu Jin."
The voice is delicate, gentle and sweet, it can drip honey.
At first glance, there are two charming goblins!
Lin Jinyao smacked the villain secretly, but her face was still gentle and obedient, showing a bit embarrassed expression.
Concubine De was secretly happy when she saw it. Sure enough, is there any woman in this world who is really generous enough to push her man into the arms of other women?See how long you can hold it!
"Why, you don't want to?" Concubine De reprimanded with a cold face: "The old four's family, this jealousy has violated the seven outlaws, don't be confused, remember your identity, you are the fourth His first wife has the responsibility and obligation to spread the branches and leaves for him."
"De'eriang misunderstood, it's not that the daughter-in-law is unwilling, it's just..." Lin Jinyao said helplessly: "De'ernian doesn't know something. Earlier, my daughter-in-law suggested to the fourth master to arrange two servants for him, but who Knowing my good intentions, I was severely reprimanded by Fourth Master."
Concubine De frowned, "What does this mean?"
"The fourth master said that he has only been in the imperial court for two years. When he was going to study hard and do errands to share the worries of Huang Ama, he was all focused on his official duties. At this time, he made a bunch of Yingying Yanyan What are you doing? Isn't that disturbing his mind and wasting his energy? How can he have extra thoughts and energy to deal with those women? Saying that I, Fujin, is just idle and flustered, trying to find things for him, adding to the chaos and being a monster Because of this, he gave me a hard training, and he never gave me a good face for several days."
The more Concubine De listened, the more she felt that something was wrong. Why was she so busy looking for troubles and making troubles to drag her back?Why do you think she is pointing at Sang and scolding Huai?
"There is another very real problem in front of me..." Lin Jinyao's expression became more helpless, with a little embarrassment. Live, now there are about a dozen elder brothers living in one elder brother's house, the place is really crowded, and the fifth elder brother is also getting married, and soon the seventh and eighth elder brothers will also get married, when Xin Fujin enters the door It got even more crowded."
"To tell you the truth, our courtyard is really crowded with people. The servants in the house are at least four people in one room. With this arrangement, I can't even get enough people around me. There is really no place to settle, so we can only give up for the time being. But the people who serve the master are not court ladies and eunuchs after all, so they can't live in a room with several people, it's not ridiculous."
"My daughter-in-law understands De'er's mother's kindness and is very moved, but she really has no choice. No matter what, she doesn't dare to be the master of the fourth master... Otherwise, the daughter-in-law will go back and take De'er's mother first." If the fourth master agrees, then the affairs of the house will be taken care of by the daughter-in-law, and even if the number of palace attendants is reduced, the daughter-in-law will definitely free up the house."
Let her finish all the good and bad things, what else can Concubine De say?For a moment, he was speechless.
"Smart teeth." Concubine De sneered, and said lightly: "Forget it, just do as you say. After asking the fourth child, I will say it for his own good. If he doesn't want to, I will do bad things with good intentions." .”
"Okay, let's stop here today, you go back."
"Yes, the daughter-in-law will leave first, and come to see De'eriang tomorrow."
Lin Jinyao won the battle, but she didn't feel happy at all in her heart. She knew very well that it would be a matter of time before she added people to the courtyard. She could block it once, twice, but couldn't stop the third round and the fourth round. It can be blocked for a while, but it cannot be blocked for a lifetime, that day will come after all.
She is not angry and sad, but just a little helpless. Life is unsatisfactory, nine out of ten, there are always some things you don't want to do, but you are powerless to resist, there are always some things you don't want to face, but you have to face.
She only hopes that fourth master's heart can be firm to the end, otherwise... If you don't have the heart, I will quit!
Just about to leave the Yonghe Palace, he suddenly heard a familiar voice behind him, "Si Fujin, do you have time to sit in my room? We haven't spoken for a long time, I..."
Lin Jinyao stopped and turned around, and saw Xue Baochai standing there with the child in her arms, with that familiar gentle smile still on her face.
What Xue Baochai wanted to say to her, in fact, she could guess it. Life in the palace was difficult, and it was even more difficult under the hands of Concubine De. Xue Baochai had no one to rely on except herself, and wanted to find her This Sifujin just wanted to recall the past with her and get closer to her.
However, Lin Jinyao was not interested in saying anything more to her, so she just smiled and said, "I'm afraid it won't happen today, I have something to do later, if I have a chance in the future, I will bother Xue Changzai again."
The smile on Xue Baochai's face froze slightly, and her heart was full of sadness.
She was really helpless, although Concubine De had never killed her, she had tortured her so much that her life was worse than death, but she was just a girl from a down-and-out merchant family, what could she rely on to fight Concubine De?As long as there is still some way, she will never ask Lin Jinyao.
She gritted her teeth and bravely risked her face and dignity, and wanted to beg the other party to give her a little help, but who knew that he didn't even want to give her the chance to speak, and she didn't see the slightest bit of distress when she saw her just now She was so moved that she completely disregarded the sisterhood she had back then... She really is a person who couldn't be more cold-hearted.
Lin Jinyao was about to leave, but suddenly saw a crazy woman with disheveled hair running towards Xue Baochai, and before everyone could react, she grabbed the child in her arms and held it up high. He fell hard to the ground.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Lin Jinyao subconsciously threw herself forward, grabbing the child into her arms before landing, but she lost her center of gravity and fell to the ground with a thud.
"Wow..." The child burst into tears in shock.
Only then did the frightened crowd around them come to their senses, and immediately became a mess.
"Fujin!"
"Eighteen brothers!"
"Fu Jin, how are you? Where did you fall? Hurry up and get the imperial physician!" The palace people hurriedly helped her up.
At this time, the crazy woman was also detained by several palace men.
Xue Baochai took two steps forward and snatched the child away, holding her tightly in her arms until tears flowed down her face, her face full of panic and fear.
Lin Jinyao didn't care about her rudeness, she looked down at the bottom of her tall flower pot, and said helplessly, "I sprained my ankle."
"Why don't Fujin go inside and rest for a while, wait for the imperial doctor to come and have a look..."
"It's better not to bother Empress Concubine De, just ask the imperial doctor to go directly to Elder Brother."
"Then Fujin, wait a moment, this servant is going to ask Empress Defei to arrange a sedan chair."
This time Concubine De did not make things difficult for her, and the sedan chair was quickly brought.
A group of people carried Lin Jinyao back to Elder Brother's office in a hurry before entering the house, and the imperial physician followed.
It's not a big deal, it's just that the ankle is sprained, whether it's serious or not, it's nothing else, but there is a saying that goes well, it hurts the muscles and bones for a hundred days, this foot, I'm afraid I will not be able to walk for a few more days.
"Fu Jin, do you want to report to Fourth Master?"
"No need, it's not a big deal. Fourth master is busy. Don't bother fourth master with trivial matters. What should the emperor think when he finds out?"
"Yes, Fujin learned the lesson well, the servant knows his mistake." Zhiqi hastily admitted his mistake.
Lin Jinyao waved her hand and asked someone to help her onto the kang, which was tilted.
Recalling everything that happened just now in her mind, she still couldn't stop her heart from jumping with fear, and she couldn't stop the chills all over her body.
In such a huge Yonghe Palace, the guards are not to mention very strict, but it is by no means that anyone can break in at will. How did such a crazy woman who is obviously different from ordinary people break in easily?Obviously, someone deliberately opened the door for convenience!
She wondered why Concubine De was so kind today, how long had the child been hugged to her knees, lived together in the Yonghe Palace, Xue Baochai had never even seen the child again, how could she be so kind today and hug the child to him Xue Baochai?When something goes wrong, there must be a demon.
Looking back and forth, Lin Jinyao made a bold guess that all of this was designed by Concubine De!
Without the permission of her master, who would dare to let a crazy woman in easily?Carrying the child to Xue Baochai, in the name of giving her a loving mother, is actually just to throw all the responsibility on Xue Baochai.
The child has been raised in the hands of Concubine De for so long without any accident. It's not that Concubine De has compassion and can't bear to touch mere children, but you can see how she treats the child today. Such a small child, she was stunned. It is because she can regard the child's heart-piercing cry as a lullaby, her heart is terribly cold. The reason why she is reluctant to raise the child well is that she cannot afford the guilt. , and if the child happened in the hands of Xue Baochai's own mother, then it has nothing to do with her Concubine De.
Furthermore, seeing the child being thrown to death in front of his own eyes, as a mother, how would Xue Baochai feel?Don't talk about the pain in the heart, I'm afraid it's just painful, and now there is one in her belly, how can a pregnant woman bear such a big stimulus?At that time, don't say whether the child in the stomach can be saved or not, if you don't have two dead bodies, you will be dead.
The last point, why did this incident happen in front of her eyes by such a coincidence?Lin Jinyao also had a guess in her heart. I'm afraid it's not a coincidence. It's very likely that she was included in the list. She was frightened and seriously ill. The real purpose of Concubine De is probably to make an example of others.
He wanted to tell her to see what would happen to the person who opposed her Concubine De, it was a warning and a threat.
"Fujin."
"What's wrong? What's the matter?"
Zhishu hesitated and said, "Does Fujin know who that crazy woman is?"
Lin Jinyao was taken aback, "What? Could it be that I know you?"
Zhishu nodded and said: "That person is the Xiande Concubine back then."
Concubine Xiande?Jia Yuanchun?
At this moment, Lin Jinyao was really stunned.
Recalling it carefully, the crazy woman just now was all dirty and messy, her hair was gray and her wrinkled face was covered with wrinkles, she was clearly an old woman, and how old was Jia Yuanchun?They definitely don't look like the same person!
"No mistake? Is it really Jia Yuanchun?"
"It's absolutely true." Zhishu also showed obvious disbelief on his face, "At first I thought I had heard it wrong, but who would have thought that the old and crazy woman would be..."
Nanny Saihan said indifferently: "It's not too unbelievable. That Xinzheku is not a place for people to stay in. Not to mention that everyone is exhausted, and those in charge are all faulty, which tortures people. There are so many tricks and no taboos, how can Jia Yuanchun bear the crime? Thinking about Xue Changzai, he never asked people to 'take care' of her, this is really unbearable, so he wants to die."
Thinking about it carefully, even though Xue Baochai is only a permanent presence, she is still the emperor's woman, she is a young master, and she gave birth to another prince. How dare the people in Xin Zhekuli offend her?In addition, Xue Baochai has nothing else, I am afraid that there is still some money, money can make ghosts turn the clock, who is afraid of dealing with Jia Yuanchun whose family is in trouble?
Back then when Xue Baochai framed him and entered Xin Zheku, Jia Yuanchun had never done such a violent and crazy thing, which is enough to show that Jia Yuanchun still didn't want to die, and even had some extravagant hopes, but today he suddenly did such a crazy thing. I'm afraid I was tortured to the point where I couldn't bear it anymore, and I hated Xue Baochai to the bone.
Lin Jinyao shook her head helplessly, she really committed a crime on her own.
"Then Jia Yuanchun now..."
A voice came from outside the door, "Dead, murdering the prince is an unforgivable crime, I will die with a stick."
"Slave pays respects to fourth elder brother."
"Fourth Master? Why are you back at this time?"
The fourth master glanced at her wrapped ankles, and snorted coldly with a dark face, "Master, this is not a great hero who rushed back to pay respects to our family, but he is really amazing, self-sacrificing for others, amazing, really amazing!"
Lin Jinyao sneered, "Isn't this a subconscious reaction, such a milk doll..."
Seeing that he was still letting out the air-conditioning with a "swish" face, Lin Jinyao hurriedly winked, sent all the servants out, and then put on all her shame, rubbing against Fourth Master's body.
"Oh, I know I'm wrong, sir, don't be angry, don't be angry, don't be angry, okay? I promise to refuse to do such a thing!"
The fourth master stared at her coldly, "I didn't know that my family Fujin still has such a spirit of self-sacrifice and dedication. If the other party has a knife in his hand today, don't you subconsciously block it?"
"No! I'm not stupid, I cherish my little life, really!"
"Hmph, it's best. I'm warning you, no matter what happens next time, no matter if it's a child or an old man, even if it's Er Niang or Huang Ama or even me, stay away from me. Hide as far as you can at the first time, don't rush forward foolishly! Do you think that after a few years of kung fu practice, you can use a few whips and become a chivalrous woman? If you really want to meet a bad guy, just rely on your two skills Your hand can be destroyed by you, you can give me a little heart!"
Lin Jinyao pursed her mouth, and tears fell down.
The fourth master looked at it, and immediately became angry and funny, "You may be impatient, and you will cry for me if you tell me a few words? It's alright, don't cry, am I worried about you? It was hard to get it back, are you I don't know how nervous I am, worrying about your safety... I just wish I could tie you to my belt and take you wherever I go... I really can't bear the pain of losing you anymore... Yaoyao, Promise me, don't be so impulsive again in the future, I would rather you be a cold-blooded and selfish person, as long as you give me a good life."
Lin Jinyao snuggled into his arms obediently, with her arms tightly wrapped around his waist, she nodded repeatedly when she heard the words, "I know, there will definitely be no next time."
"Okay, the goal has been achieved, you should quickly put away your tears." The fourth master smiled helplessly, "You, you are a ghost, you are used to restraining me."
Lin Jinyao smiled sweetly, "Because my master loves me. With your shrewdness, who can deceive you? Only if you are willing to be deceived, otherwise, no matter how many ideas I have, it will be useless. By the way, Lord, where did those come from?"
"The Empress Dowager, Huang Ama, and Er Niang rewarded you. The hero of our family has made a great contribution today."
"It's over after we've agreed. Why are you still burying me, sir? That's too much."
The fourth master pinched her face fiercely as if venting his anger, and said: "I know that your foot is injured, Huang Ama has given you special permission that you don't have to go to pay your respects until the injury recovers, so you can rest."
This time, Kangxi is really grateful to Lin Jinyao. Although he has a lot of old sons, he still looks forward to and loves the newborn children very much, especially the older sons are getting older and disobedient. Demon, he loves his younger son even more.
The accident that happened to the Eighteenth Elder Brother this time really made his heart skip a beat. Fortunately, he was rescued by Lin Jinyao in time, otherwise he would really have wished to drag out the rest of the Jia family who were dying. cut.
Two days later, Xue Baochai came to elder brother's place with some gifts, saying that he wanted to thank Si Fujin for saving his son.
Lin Jinyao didn't want to have anything to do with her and saved the child, but it was just for the sake of the child's innocence. It doesn't mean that she has forgotten what Xue Baochai and Aunt Xue did to her brothers and sisters in the Lin family. If given the chance, she would definitely step on Xue Baochai hard.
There were too many people, and she couldn't keep Xue Baochai out, so she had to be patient and invite people in, exchanged a few words of greeting, and listened to the words of thanks. It was difficult, so Lin Jinyao couldn't bear it anymore, and directly excused her discomfort to see off the guests.
This Xue Baochai has not changed at all, she is still working hard, no, it should be said that she has changed, she has become more calculating.
It was only her own flesh and blood who suffered such a catastrophe, and she actually started to think about it.
And she had heard that Xue Baochai had fallen ill for the past two days because of being overly frightened, and was awakened by nightmares every night, crying uncontrollably every time, which made the emperor feel at ease, and rested at her place one after another, and still woke up at night. Called water.
This is really amazing. She was so frightened that she couldn't sleep well, yet she still had the heart to have sex with a man?Really great!
Lin Jinyao became more and more contemptuous of Xue Baochai. She thought she at least truly loved her son, but now it seems that this love may be true, but it is still not pure after all.
In the evening, Fourth Master came back with an unexpected news.
"The old lady of the Jia family has gone."
Lin Jinyao was stunned, "The old lady... died?"
Fourth Master nodded and looked at her worriedly, "Are you all right?"
"It's okay, what can I do." Lin Jinyao sighed softly: "It's not like you don't know, my relationship with that old lady... I'm not that kind and I feel sad for her, but I just feel a little surprised At the beginning, the Jia family suffered so much, and the old lady suffered so much, she just suffered a stroke, and all of a sudden..."
"I'm afraid it's because of Jia Yuanchun's death." The fourth master sneered and said, "The reason why I was holding my breath back then was that the old lady had wildly hoped that Jia Yuanchun in the palace would come back to favor. Now Jia Yuanchun But he committed a serious crime and was sentenced to death, the last sliver of vague thoughts disappeared, and it was expected that he would not be able to hold on."
Lin Jinyao shook her head and sighed, "Forget it, let's not talk about her, death is like a lamp going out, and all hatred and resentment will go with the wind."
……
The days of recuperating were both leisurely and boring. It snowed twice in the past three days, and it was not suitable to go out in the freezing and snowy environment. It was not even possible to bask in the sun in the yard. Lin Jinyao could only huddle in the room every day, it was really boring.
Fortunately, Fourth Master felt sorry for her, and specially found a lot of story books and travel notes for her, and told her to read them when she was free, so as to pass the time. Occasionally, Wufujin Narentoya would come to sit and talk with her, The days are pretty comfortable.
As time passed by day by day, in a blink of an eye it was the day when the seventh elder brother got married.
The seventh elder brother Yinyou was born with a disability in his legs and feet. Although it was not very serious, it was obvious that he was limping when he walked.
Because of this, Yinyou probably has some low self-esteem, his temper is very dull and he doesn't like to talk, and he is not taken seriously. He is like an invisible person among the elder brothers who are full of dragons and phoenixes, but fortunately, Kangxi treats this son well. Not bad, you can tell from the name given to him, woo, bless, bless.
Yinyou's descendant, Fujin Nala, is the daughter of Faka, the deputy governor. This background can be regarded as relatively good. Obviously, Kangxi really cares about this son.
Lin Jinyao was not able to attend the wedding day. Her feet were still not good enough, and she was limping when she walked, let alone wearing the bottom of a tall flower pot. It would be really bad if she accidentally sprained her again, so Fourth master refused to ask her to attend no matter what.
Fortunately, the few above understood her situation very well, and they didn't care about it, and they happily allowed her to recover from her injuries.
After the seventh elder brother, it's the eighth elder brother's turn. However, the eighth elder brother's wedding is not this year, but is scheduled for the first month of the next year. Once this year is over, it will be soon.
Lin Jinyao didn't have much time to feel sad in the first New Year without her family. Without him, there were too many banquets, large and small, in the palace during the New Year's Eve, and there were various sacrifices to attend. Kowtowing made people dizzy, and when they went home and took off their clothes, they found that their knees were all blue, which made Lin Jinyao wish to imitate a very famous bird and make two pairs of "easy to kneel".
But thinking of such a majestic and solemn occasion, if something was missed, it would be really... Lin Jinyao trembled, and had no choice but to give up this temptation.
Fortunately, all the officials would come to the palace banquet the day before the New Year's Eve, so Lin Jinyao and her family had a quick meeting. Although there was no time to say a word, it was comforting to have a glimpse from a distance.
The next day was the royal family banquet, but this person was not too small, all the concubines in the palace, the prince Fujin, the princess Gege, and those clan relatives all added up to an extremely spectacular team.
Sitting beside fourth master, Lin Jinyao looked at the table full of rich chicken, duck, fish and all kinds of delicacies from mountains and seas, but felt a little nauseous, so she had to try her best to eat something lighter.
Fourth master brought a piece of steamed fish to her, who put it into her mouth without thinking, Lin Jinyao suddenly felt sick to her stomach, she quickly covered her mouth and turned her head away.
"What's the matter?" Fourth Master put down the bowl and chopsticks, poured her a cup of tea quickly, and looked at her worriedly.
Lin Jinyao shook her head, but suddenly heard a surprised voice from above, "Looking at the appearance of the fourth daughter-in-law, she must be pregnant?"
At a glance, it was De Fei's loving and surprised face.
Lin Jinyao rubbed her stomach subconsciously, but after thinking about it, she has only been clean for a few days, so she shouldn't be... But what if?
For a while, Lin Jinyao also felt a little hesitant.
The Queen Mother also couldn't help showing surprise, "Maybe it's true, why don't you call the imperial doctor to take a look?"
Kangxi was about to send someone to pass on to the imperial physician, but the fourth master said: "No need for Huang Ama, Fujin just got cold in the past two days and nights, and his stomach feels a little uncomfortable, so it's not a problem."
Hearing this, the people above were a little disappointed, but they didn't say anything, they just didn't bring up the matter of the imperial physician.
Lin Jinyao finally breathed a sigh of relief. If she hastily invited the imperial physician, but found out that she was not pregnant, it would be really embarrassing and disappointing.
Unexpectedly, this tone was not relieved to the end, but I heard Concubine De said again: "Fourth brother, I'd better invite the imperial doctor to come and check Fujin carefully for you tomorrow. The two of you have been married for several months, so you may not Do you have it in your stomach? Even if you don’t, it’s good to recuperate your body earlier.”
Doesn't this imply that she is not pregnant so far and has something wrong with her body?
Seeing Concubine De's loving and caring smile, Lin Jinyao felt a shock in her heart.
"Okay, what are you talking about during the Chinese New Year?" The imperial concubine glanced at her lightly, "It's only been a few days since the two children got married, and it's not such a rush to hug a grandson."
"The imperial concubine is right. It's a good thing if you have it. Don't worry if you don't have it. How long will it be? Okay, don't talk about it, eat vegetables."
Once the empress dowager spoke, no one would talk too much, it was time to eat and drink.
From the beginning to the end, Kangxi never said a word, never even moved his eyelids, no one could see what was going on in his heart, and whether he could see the tricks between the women.
After drinking for three rounds, everyone gradually let go. All the princes and elder brothers looked harmonious, toasted and laughed at each other, and even Yinfeng and Yinfeng drank a few cups with their shoulders crossed. Just like that hallucination, those who didn't know it really thought that these brothers and sisters were all deeply affectionate and respectful brothers and sisters.
I have to say, the people in the royal family are all born good actors.
"Look at old eight."
Lin Jinyao searched the crowd after hearing the words, but saw that eighth elder brother Yinhu was toasting Prince Yu with a smile on his face, which made people feel good about him.
"Tsk tsk tsk, eighth brother is poaching the corner of your wall, sir, are you not in a hurry just doing this?" Lin Jinyao teased.
"Dare to joke, are you really courageous?" The fourth master gave her a dark look, then glanced at Yinhu, and said with a sneer: "It is commendable to have ideas and courage, but it is too hearty." I'm in a hurry." As he spoke, he glanced at Yinfei pointingly.
Lin Jinyao looked along, just in time to see the big elder brother Yinzhen looking in the direction of Yinhu and Prince Yu with a half-smile. The smile on his face was a bit dangerous.
"Old Ba has always regarded himself as a big brother. He hides behind the boss and develops secretly. He is smart, but he is still a little impatient after all. The boss is not a fool. If he moves a little, the boss should follow him."
Lin Jinyao rolled her eyes, "Which one of you brothers is really stupid? Everyone is so smart." As far as the older ones are concerned, except for the youngest Yinzhi and the seventh Yinyou , which other is not Yun Wen Yun Wu?Really people are more popular than people.
