Yongzheng period

On the contrary, if it won't work in ten years, what does Seventeenth Brother think of this statement? "

Yin Li shook his hand, and almost threw all the chess pieces in his hand out. Who would have thought that when he looked up, Yong Zheng smiled at Yan Yan, with a kind face on his face, and said kindly, "The so-called attacking the heart is the first thing, Seventeenth brother's reaction is not bad. no."

At this moment, Yinli's palms were covered with cold sweat. He couldn't figure out Yongzheng's plan, so he could only take advantage of the situation and calmly say, "My brother has been taught."——If Yongzheng really settled the score with him, he would not be able to resist What.Just thinking about it again, he has always shown no danger, and Yongzheng has just chosen a virtuous side Fujin for him, so what he said just now was just a test.

Next, Yinli naturally cheered up 12 points, until the end of the game, Yongzheng asked him, "You were the most beloved prince when Huang Ama was alive, and you even hinted at you several times. Ama died of illness suddenly, and you were only 11 years old at that time. And after I ascended the throne, I granted the rest of my brothers, even being generous to those who are younger than you, treating you coldly, even your mother-in-law was forced The Qingxiu out of the palace——have you ever harbored resentment?"

Hearing this, how dare Yinli sit still?He hurriedly raised his robe and knelt down, but he didn't dare to speak out again, and said in a deep voice, "My brother was young at that time, Huang Ama died suddenly, and my mother and I lost our protection. So it's enough to be dependent on Er Niang. Who would have thought that a "visit" by the Empress Dowager would force the younger brother to part with Er Niang-after that, the younger brother would have to ask the Empress Dowager to rest assured. Even if there is even a trace of resentment, the emperor will not believe it."

"That's right," Yongzheng stretched his brows, "You used to be very smart when you were young, and you also had your own opinions on some political affairs, so how could you become less effective as you grow older?" Yongzheng snorted coldly, "I'm afraid you are not only afraid that the Queen Mother will look down on you. It's not good, it's just to prevent the day when I get rid of you soon, right?"

Yinli had no choice but to hang his head in embarrassment and fear, and listened to Yongzheng's words, "Forget it, get up, I don't bother to care about the past. Now that you are married and in your prime, do you want to serve the imperial court or do you want nothing?" Hold on to the title for the rest of your life?"

Well, does your old saying have any room for him to choose?If I don't follow you, fourth brother, will I be imprisoned in the palace by you to raise me for the rest of my life?

Yin Li hurriedly got up and bowed, "How dare my brother do nothing all day long? Willing to share the emperor's worries."

Yongzheng stared at him for a while, then slowly said, "So, after your Guojun Palace is repaired, you can move out of the palace, and tomorrow you will go to the Lifan Academy to assist in management."

Yinli replied, "Yes." Yongzheng told him again, "You have to take a side Fujin to see the Queen Mother, and don't forget to go to Anqi Temple to show your mother."

Talking about Er Niang, Yin Li was inevitably a little excited, Yongzheng smiled slightly, "If you do well in your errands, it is not impossible to take your Er Niang out of the temple to serve her."

With the goal to strive for, Yinli immediately stated his position, "As long as the emperor's brother has any orders, I will not hesitate to do so!"

This time he became the 'Emperor Brother', with a youthful heart in the end.Yongzheng secretly smiled, thinking that the eldest brother was also passionate about fighting with the second child when he was 19 years old, so he couldn't help but feel relieved.Said, "So, you can kneel down."

By the end of July, the Guojun Palace was finally repaired.Concubine Hui was ordered to handle all the manpower in Yongzheng, and all the people that the Empress Dowager intended to insert were returned to the Palace of Compassion and Ning—the Empress Dowager repeatedly hit a wall, and since she was angry again, she couldn't hold back her face and went directly to Guojun When Wang said something, he had no choice but to pretend that he didn't see it.

In mid-September, the Palace of Yanxi Palace finally took action—the respected noble concubine asked Concubine Hui, who was in power, to go to Anqi Temple to offer incense and pray for blessings.

【57】

Xue Baochai has been waiting for a good opportunity ever since Wu Yagui got out of Concubine Shu Gui, waiting for an excellent opportunity to meet this legendary figure in the late emperor's harem.More importantly - it is said that when the former emperor was in the noble concubine and the current empress dowager were very good friends, "sisters".Therefore, the empress dowager is the best witness of those old events.

It's just that if you want to go to Anqi Temple, you can't get around the Queen Mother. Xue Baochai is worrying about herself, but the Queen Mother looks for her first.

"You have been practicing Buddhahood these days, have you gained anything?" The Compassionate Ning Palace was surrounded by sandalwood as always, and the Empress Dowager sat upright at the head, her eyes were not as kind as before, and she stared at her sharply.

Xue Baochai's heart tightened, not sure why he violated the empress dowager's taboo, could it be the nobleman Wu Ya?She couldn't answer the conversation, so she could only say, "The concubine is dull..."

"Why are you panicking?" The queen mother narrowed her eyes, "You can rest easy on the little calculations in your heart. If you can really support that child Yi Rong, it will be your skill."

When Xue Baochai heard that the Queen Mother had misunderstood that she was simply wooing Noble Wu Ya to compete for favor, she only let go of her heart, not daring to let the Queen Mother think too much, so she hurriedly said good things for Noble Wu Ya, "Sister Wu Ya is ill. On the contrary, I am much more sober, and it may not be impossible..."

"Okay," the Queen Mother waved her hands impatiently, "You can make up your own mind as she arranges. There is a matter here at Ai's family, and you go and handle it for Ai's family."

Baochai respectfully responded, and then said anxiously, "Recently, the new noble son of Changchun Palace, the concubine has already been suspected by the emperor, if he acts at this time...the concubine is afraid of the emperor's side..."

In the middle of Baochai's speech, the Empress Dowager glanced over and immediately silenced her.

The Queen Mother saw that she was silent, so she said, "The Ai family just wanted you to go to Anqi Temple—the one who offered incense and blessings for the Ai family and the Qing Dynasty, and also visited the Anqi Temple for the Ai family. Old man, the old seventeen has been valued by the emperor recently, so she must be comforted." The Empress Dowager's eyes turned cold in vain, and she told her, "You don't need to be in the name of mourning the family, just do what you want. "

Baochai responded with a look of surprise and uncertainty on her face, and her heart was almost elated!

The Seventeenth Lord just married Cian Fujin, and the next day he just went to Xie En to get an appointment from Yongzheng, and he didn't let the Queen Mother get involved in the establishment of the Guojun Prince's Mansion. The opponent's eyes were finally suppressed by her, and her son was also detained in the palace by her - how could she want to be set up by her own son?With Nian's lessons learned, the Queen Mother almost died of anger!

This is why the Empress Dowager called Xue Baochai to go to Anqi Temple to test Concubine Shu Gui today.

Xue Baochai was thinking about this once-in-a-thousand-year opportunity in her heart, she lowered her head and was absorbed in thinking, her face was a little absent-minded, she didn't notice that the queen mother hadn't spoken for a long time, she just looked at her with dull eyes.

Leng Buding listened to the Empress Dowager smiling and said to Zhu Xi, "Did Seventh Brother wake up from his afternoon nap? Maybe he hasn't seen his mother for a long time."

Zhu Xiying entered the inner hall, Baochai's heart trembled, and he said cautiously, "Seventh elder brother is very good here, my concubine, you don't need to look at this concubine."

The Queen Mother didn't answer, just smiled at her, and Zhu Xi had already walked over with a small ball, Baochai immediately ignored what the Queen Mother thought, and only stared at her son whom she hadn't seen for a long time, greedy look at.

The seventh elder brother was born cute and pink, the queen mother smiled and called him over, first asked a few questions about diet and rest, Hongjun answered softly.Then the Empress Dowager pointed at Baochai and said, "Does Hongjun recognize her?"

Knowing that it was the Empress Dowager, Baochai was very anxious.Hongjun looked at her for a long while, then replied, "Yes, this is Gong Erniang."

The empress dowager's smile deepened, and she said softly, "Hongjun is wrong, this is your mother-in-law, go Hongyun, go and pay your respects to your mother-in-law."

Baochai looked ugly, and Zhu Xi hurriedly smoothed things over, "Brother is still young, I just can't remember it for a while, when I grow up, I will remember my little master."

Hongjun stood beside the queen mother, hesitating, until the queen mother pushed him forward again, and then he walked up to Baochai and looked straight into her eyes——Hongjun stood, Baochai Still kneeling - Baochai's expression at this time is really indescribable, if Hongjun didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional to block the Queen Mother's view, Baochai's loss of trust with the Queen Mother would only be in a flash.

Hongjun blinked, even though the Queen Mother asked him to call him 'Er Niang', he still said in a restrained low voice, "Greeting Er Niang." Then he ran all the way back to the Queen Mother as if afraid of life, and was greeted by the Queen Mother with a loving face. in my arms.Seeing this scene, Baochai's face twitched violently, the expression on his face was as if someone had slapped him—then he quickly lowered his head, trying to restrain his emotions to make himself look more natural.

After finally calming down, Baochai finally heard the empress dowager's 'good intentions' and said, " It's getting late, you go down."

Baochai didn't dare to raise her head, said "yes" in a low voice and walked out of the Palace of Compassion and Peace. When Wen Xing, who was waiting outside the door, came to help her up, she was terrified by her young master's gloomy and distorted face.

Wen Xing called her in a low voice, "—Little Master?"

"...I'm fine," Baochai took a deep breath, let go of the whitish phalanges, and said in a bad tone, "Go back to Yanxi Palace."

Wen Xing didn't dare to say any more, and Baochai sneered inwardly: This good empress dowager will not be proud for a long time!

Anqi Temple is far away from the Forbidden City, and the Empress Dowager's fear of Concubine Shu Gui will never be weakened by the length of time. Back then, in order to keep her young Yinli, she promised the Empress Dowager to spend her whole life in Anqi Temple. The Empress Dowager was also afraid that there would be no troubles at the beginning of Yongzheng's ascension to the throne. Who knew what bargaining chip the late emperor left for his most beloved concubine and prince?Queen Mother just now'
