Dressed as Su Peisheng

Kangxi 40 years

Siyefu

The night in May is gentle and lazy. The wind that rolls over the lotus pond is no longer as chilly as the early spring, and has not yet been contaminated with the impetuous heat of midsummer.In the small east courtyard, the servants are waiting in the porch, and the candlesticks in the inner room shine on the shadow of the window, revealing a bit of the quiet and leisure of the years.

Inside the house, the fourth elder brother's words carried unfinished content, but Li Nanny didn't get to the bottom of it. Looking at the half-eaten bowl of noodles, Li Nanny smiled calmly, turned her eyes around the room, and finally fell to He arrived at Su Wei in the corner.

"This child has been with you for almost 20 years." Li Mama beckoned to Su Wei, and Su Wei walked to the couch with small steps, keeping his eyes on the noodle bowl.

"Yes," the fourth elder brother smiled, "When Su Peisheng came to Chengqian Palace, I was only five years old, and he was only ten years old."

Mammy Li looked up at Su Wei, "This time is really the most difficult. Mammy still remembers the first time elder brother pointed at Xiao Suzi to serve, and when she came back, she told the servant that Wang Qin's apprentice looked Stupid."

Embarrassed by Su Wei, he gave the fourth elder brother a sneaky look, and the fourth elder brother raised the corner of his mouth, "Do you still remember?"

"Why don't you remember?" Nanny Li squeezed her handkerchief and squeezed the corners of her eyes, "This man is in such trouble no matter how high he is. Now that 20 years have passed, the little girl who was punished by Wang Qin to kneel at the beginning The father-in-law is already a serious sixth-rank internal prisoner. Thinking about it now, the eyes of the elder brother and the servant are really right."

The fourth prince bent his mouth and nodded, looking at the quite proud Mr. Su, "That's right, but this stupid look hasn't changed for so many years."

Nanny Li was stunned for a moment, then looked back at Su Wei whose face had slumped in an instant, and smiled while covering her handkerchief.

After inspecting the Yongding River, Lord Kangxi ordered this year's northern inspection to be advanced to the end of May. Even Suo'etu's resignation did not delay the trip.The entourage of princes was as huge as ever, including the crown prince, eldest elder brother, third elder brother, fourth elder brother, eighth elder brother, thirteenth elder brother, fourteenth elder brother, fifteenth elder brother, and sixteenth elder brother.

The end of May is approaching in a blink of an eye, and there are only leftovers left in the renovation of Dongyue Temple. Prince Yu took full responsibility for it, so that the eighth elder brother can go to the north with peace of mind.Upwards, Lord Kangxi was quite satisfied with Prince Yu and the eighth elder brother, and also rewarded two sets of new imperial saddles made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

After the early court, the emperor summoned Prince Yu again.When Prince Yu came out from Qianqing Palace, it was almost noon, and when he passed Yuqing Palace, the Prince just stepped out of the gate.

"The old minister greets the crown prince," Prince Yu cupped his hands.

"My lord, you are welcome," the prince smiled slightly. "This morning, my lord has received a great reward. Presumably this task of building a ruined temple with Lao Ba is more important than my lord's military service. I think the prince doesn't bother to participate in such dirty things."

Prince Yu's complexion changed, and he leaned over and said, "The crown prince is serious. This king just obeys the emperor's order and dare not covet other things."

The prince sneered, "obey the emperor's order? If so, there would be no crowds vying for the Dongyue Temple. Prince Yu refused because of his illness. Why is he recovering so quickly now? A generation of virtuous kings, now he is a lowly man Brother ran before and after, this hall is really rare and strange."

The prince turned around with a smile and left. Prince Yu's face was gloomy, and he stood still for a long time. Seeing this, the entourage hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him, "The prince was quite sensible before, why has he become so mean and mean now? The prince's health is important, but Don't be so angry."

Prince Yu looked at the crown prince's back, and his voice was icy, "The East Palace's nature is so good, it can be called the disaster of the Qing Dynasty."

Yonghe Palace

Sifu Jin entered the palace to greet Concubine De, Yonghe Palace was busy, maids and eunuchs were moving things in and out, many boxes were placed in the courtyard...

Sitting on the couch, Concubine De was holding a dozen lists in her hand, and when she saw the little palace maid leading Si Fujin into the room, she immediately waved, "It's just in time, come and help Er Niang to take a look, is there anything missing?"

"What are you up to, Er Niang?" Si Fujin sat down and took the list from Concubine De.

Concubine De bent her lips lightly, "Yinxiang and Yinti are going to move into Elder Brother's house. There are people in the backyard, so it will be inconvenient to live in Maoqin Hall in the future. The furnishings in Maoqin Hall are for the imperial use and cannot be moved." Go to Elder Brother's place. Although there are arrangements from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Er Niang still wants to provide them with some commonly used ones as much as possible."

Si Fujin smiled, "Emiang is really a loving mother. My daughter-in-law looks at this list and can be regarded as detailed and has everything. I just don't know who is matched in the backyard of the thirteenth and fourteenth brothers? Does Fujin have any clues about the candidates?" ?”

Concubine De shook her head, "The emperor hasn't said anything about Fujin yet, but this match is pretty good. Yinxiang is the daughter of Langzhong Ahazhan's Guerjia family, and Yinti is the daughter of Yuanwai Lang Mingde. Shu Shujue Luo Shi. Er Niang also inquired, and they are all very upright girls."

"Huang Ama must have pointed out good things to the two younger brothers. Recently, the thirteenth brother and the fourteenth brother have been valued by Huang Ama," Sifujin said with a smile, and then looked down at the list in his hand. Gege must have two decent outfits to enter the house. Erniang's items are all good things, and they are overkill for Gege. Why don't you let the daughter-in-law take advantage of it, and it can be regarded as a bonus for the thirteenth and fourteenth brothers. "

Concubine De laughed and pointed at Si Fujin, "Do you think you can lose all of you? Yinti has been thinking about his fourth brother's move to the palace for a long time."

"That's what it should be," Sifujin raised the corners of his mouth, "Master Belle doesn't usually say anything, but he misses these two younger brothers the most in his heart. Especially the fourteenth brother, Lord Belle has shown his thoughts on Honghui, and he can't wait to hold hands teaching."

Concubine De nodded with relief, and then said as if thinking of something, "It's time for Honghui to be enlightened, have you found the master who will teach you?"

"Emiang, don't worry," Sifujin raised his head, his brows and eyes glowing with warmth, "the one who enlightened Honghui was a scholar named Fu Min. The fourth master said, wait for a while, and then ask Huang Ama for a seat." Great Confucianism taught Honghui."

Concubine De nodded, "That's good, the fourth child is also interested in Honghui. However, Honghui has reached the age of enlightenment, why is there still no movement in your backyard?"

Si Fujin was stunned, then lowered his head, "It's my daughter-in-law's fault. There's been nothing to do in the backyard, and my daughter-in-law can't do anything even if she's in a hurry."

Concubine De straightened her face, and glanced at Sifujin, "Emiang heard that the fourth son has taken a girl beside you?"

"Yes," Si Fujin bowed his head slightly, "That girl's maiden name is Wu. Although she is a slave of her daughter-in-law's family, her father won a job and was released as a county magistrate, so she is not considered a commoner girl."

Concubine De breathed a sigh of relief, and leaned back on the couch, "That's not bad, give her a decent title, the fourth child's backyard has not been entered for a long time. Last time even the emperor asked, this Yinqi added It's the fourth child, why hasn't there been any movement from Yinzhen for so many years?"

Si Fujin pursed her lips, lowered her head and said, "Ms. Wu is quite liked by Lord Belle, and she often asks her to serve her recently. I think there will be good news soon."

Concubine De nodded, "That's good, Er Niang knows your temper, but outsiders don't. The fourth child has nothing to do here, and those who chew their tongues can't help but think about you. You have to know, as a regular wife, What I fear most is the reputation of being jealous."

Si Fujin tensed up, hurriedly stood up and bowed down, "Emiang, my daughter-in-law is never jealous—"

"Okay," Concubine De helped Sifujin up with a soft voice, "Emiang just reminded you a few words, what kind of person you are, Emiang knows best. Emiang is also right because she really loves you. You said that."

"Thank you for your reminder, my daughter-in-law will definitely keep it in mind," Si Fujin nodded slightly with a pale face.

On the way back to the house, Shi Yao frowned, and whispered puzzledly, "Fu Jin is the same, why take all the faults on yourself. It is obvious that Baylor seldom comes to the backyard, and this child can't be conjured out of thin air." of--"

"Okay," Fujin glared at Shiyao, "Don't say such things casually."

"Yes," Shi Yao pouted, "The Empress Defei is Lord Baylor's biological mother, if Fujin says so, she might be able to take care of Lord Baylor."

"What do you know?" Fujin sighed and leaned against the wall of the car, "Did Fourth Master grow up next to Concubine De? Remember, if Concubine De blocks Si Ye's way to become king for the sake of Fourteenth Elder Brother, if there are other things in the future, it's uncertain what will happen."

Shi Yao nodded ignorantly, and lowered her head, not daring to speak.

At night, Fujin invited the fourth elder brother to his room, and told the fourth elder brother about Yinxiang and Yinti's moving to the palace one by one.

The fourth elder brother smiled, "In a blink of an eye, all of them have grown up. At first, they were jumping around like monkeys, but now they are going to start a family. The master said that in the past few days, Yinzhen kept looking at me from left to right. Thinking about the good things about Grandpa."

Fujin slightly nodded, "Master has always loved my younger brothers, so I wouldn't feel bad if I even thought about giving them some good things. My concubine is here, and I have told my mother to make a few outfits for each of the two Gege who came in."

"En," the fourth elder brother nodded, "You are a sister-in-law, so this is just right. Master, Yinxiang, and Yinti are going to tour the north with Huang Ama, and you can help Erniang manage the palace relocation. If there is something missing, just ask the warehouse to get it."

"Yes," Fujin stood up and saluted.

The fourth elder brother looked up at her, stood up and said, "Go to rest, master, go back to the East Courtyard."

"Master, please stay." Fujin took a step forward to stop the fourth elder brother, "Master will be away for more than a month, why don't you take Ge Ge to serve you?"

The fourth elder brother's complexion changed slightly, and his brows were raised together, "It's a serious matter for the Lord to go on a north tour with Huang Ama, not to go out for fun, so what do you say when you bring Ge Gexiang?"

Fujin pursed his lips, and did not give up persuading, "A concubine entered the palace today, and Er Niang mentioned the reason why even Huang Ama asked about the master's backyard. Although it is not virtuous for a concubine to ask herself, she is not A jealous woman who is ignorant of propriety. How will my master deal with me in the future if my master continues like this? The reputation of being unworthy on my back is nothing, but my master has to think about Hong Hui. I heard early on that Eldest brother and third elder brother always bring concubines with them when they go out, and carrying on the family line is a big deal, and Huang Ama won't blame her if she thinks about it."

"Okay, don't talk about it," the fourth elder brother turned around and walked towards the door, "I will think about this matter, you should rest first."

Looking at the back of the fourth elder brother going away, Fujin sighed deeply. Mother Jiang stepped forward to help Fujin sit back on the couch, and complimented softly, "Fujin is really magnanimous, your humility can be called an example among wives , even if the fourth elder brother doesn't say it, he must know it in his heart."

Fujin laughed self-deprecatingly, "How can I be considered magnanimous, it's just that these false names are left between husband and wife. What's more, I have Honghui, as long as he is good, I'm afraid what will those concubines do?"

Forbidden City Qianqing Palace

In the huge palace room, there was only one half-illuminated full-arm candle, and Lord Kangxi sat on a bright yellow soft chair without saying a word.The serving servants all bowed their heads and stood motionless, not even daring to breathe loudly.

Liang Jiugong was holding a bowl of half-cold tea, and stood beside the brocade table, sighing inwardly.

He is the most personal servant of the Holy Majesty, and no one knows Kangxi's emotions better than him.But for decades, he has always remembered the words that accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger. When working with the emperor, he must treat himself as blind, deaf, and dumb, otherwise he may lie in a mass grave to feed wild dogs someday. .

On the clean white rice paper lay two booklets, one was the booklet that Suo Xiang handed over for the second time, and the other was a secret booklet sealed with red leather.

"Liang Jiugong," after half an hour of silence in the palace, Lord Kangxi finally spoke in a hoarse voice.

"The slave is here," Liang Jiugong stepped forward two steps, and put the tea bowl on the table.

Lord Kangxi reached out to pick up the secret book, and Liang Jiugong's forehead was covered with layers of cold sweat. Even if he pretended to be deaf and dumb, he knew the weight of the book. If the emperor wanted it, the Qing Dynasty would change.

"Go and burn this book," said Lord Kangxi, throwing the book to Liang Jiugong.

"Hey," Liang Jiugong caught Zhezi, knelt down neatly, and his heart that had been hanging in the air finally fell slowly with a breath secretly.
