Dressed as Su Peisheng

Kangxi 41 years

Siyefu

Su Wei and the fourth elder brother rested in the west wing of Shiyue Courtyard, and through the window, they could see a glowing red shadow in the main hall.

"Master," Su Wei leaned on his chin listlessly, "How long can such a piece of coral last?"

The fourth elder brother rested on the couch with his eyes closed, and tapped his fingers on the edge of the kang table, "It's just a princess, and I don't need to spend a wedding night in the bridal chamber. Who do you want to spoil, and where do you sleep? Is it in the hands of others?"

Su Wei lowered his head and said nothing.

The fourth elder brother opened his eyes to look at him, and threw a candied fruit over, hitting the back of his head just right, "Don't let your imagination run wild again, do you hear me?"

Su Wei turned around and picked up the preserved fruit, stuffed it into his mouth, nodded obediently, and the fourth prince closed his eyes in satisfaction.

East Garden

At the end of February, the weather was getting warmer, and Su Wei sat behind the rockery in a daze.Beside the pavilion not far away, the crisp laughter of the daughter's family hit my ears.

Nanny Li asked the maids to surround the two shuttlecock-kicking little princesses, and walked slowly to Su Wei's side, "Why didn't you follow Fourth Brother today?"

Su Wei grinned, "Zhang Bao is on duty today, and Lord Belle is busy with business, so I won't participate."

Nanny Li smiled, and sat down on the short stone opposite Su Wei, "You have a generous heart. Nanny has been in the palace for so many years, which servant who is favored doesn't follow the master every day?"

Su Wei scratched the back of his head embarrassingly, "It's the master who is kind and doesn't think the slave is lazy."

Nanny Li curled her lips, "It should be the fourth elder brother who is in love."

Su Wei was startled, controlled his expression in time, and said slightly blushingly, "The slave is just an internal eunuch, how can he have any relationship with the master."

"Why not?" Nanny Li covered the corners of her lips, "The relationship between master and servant is quite rare."

"Yes," Su Wei was a little dazed, "Nurse is right."

Nanny Li turned her head to look at the two little princesses, and sighed vaguely, "The days of this year really passed by in a blink of an eye, children, you especially grow up fast, and you are still here today." She was coquettish in front of her, and she is about to marry and start a family in a blink of an eye. After a few years, all of them have left the house, and the fourth elder brother's heart should be empty."

Su Wei pursed his lips and nodded.

Nanny Li tapped her leg lightly, and said in a calm tone, "I heard the servants in the mansion gossiping, saying that the two concubines in Wubeile's mansion are pregnant. There are six children. No wonder the emperor is concerned about the fourth elder brother. Compared with it, our house is indeed too thin."

"Master is always too busy." Su Wei rubbed his fingers, "This son's business has to be left to chance."

"That's right," Nanny Li curled her lips, "The matter of heirs is not only up to your will, but also according to God's will. But it is precisely because it is not easy to get, that we have to pay more attention."

Su Wei nodded vaguely, and Nanny Li reached out and brushed away a few dry, dwarf seedlings beside the rocks, "There are always people who compare the succession of the family to a tree sprouting branches, but Madam thinks that the reproduction of offspring is more like a tree taking root. More, the deeper the tree grows, the better the tree will grow, and it will be harder to break when it encounters wind and rain. On the contrary, the root system is weak and slanted out, and this little external force may be uprooted."

A few dwarf seedlings were pulled down by Nanny Li and thrown on the side of the road. Su Wei watched them motionless without making a sound.Nanny Li sighed, and patted her hand with a handkerchief, "It's a pity, these are all good pine seedlings, but they grew in the wrong place."

"Eldest Sister, Second Sister," beside the gazebo, a young man in a white brocade robe walked through the corridor.

"Honghui, come quickly!" Ilha waved.

Mo Yaqi caught the falling shuttlecock and smiled at Hong Hui, "Don't you have to go to class today? I haven't seen you for a long time."

Hong Hui trotted up to the two Ge Ge, with an aggrieved look on his face, "Emiang didn't memorize my homework last time, and she was watched by the master recently. Today, I begged Ama to get out."

"It's shameful," Yierha made a face at Honghui, "I have my own yard, and my mother keeps tight control over me. My mother-in-law doesn't even care about my homework."

"Ilha," Mo Yaqi tugged at his younger sister, and patted the pouting Honghui reassuringly, "You are a boy, unlike us, and it is right for Ama and Erniang to be careful. Since you are coming out today Alright, let's have fun and relax."

"En," Honghui nodded abruptly, stood beside Mo Yaqi, and made a face at Yilha.

In the evening, in the East Courtyard, the fourth elder brother and Su Wei sat at a table for dinner.

The fourth elder brother picked up the fishbone in the bowl, and the corner of his mouth slightly raised, "today my father went to Honghui's yard, and he was reciting a book under the eaves. His eyes lit up when he saw me. I only found out after asking the master. Fujin said he memorized his homework. He's not good enough, don't let him go out."

Su Wei held the rice grains in the bowl and didn't make a sound. The fourth elder brother continued to taste the fish meat on his own, "I don't want to control Honghui to death. He doesn't have to be like the old man at a young age. I have to move to the palace alone. Under the eyes of my parents, I read my homework slowly, step by step, and it is more solid."

Su Wei looked up at the fourth elder brother, his voice was a little low, "Master is right."

The fourth elder brother raised his eyebrows and looked at Su Wei, "What's wrong with you, listless?"

"It's okay," Su Wei poked the rice bowl with his chopsticks, "I'm a little tired, I didn't sleep well last night."

The fourth elder brother curled his mouth and put a piece of fish meat into Su Wei's bowl, "This is a tribute plum fish from Fengyang County. It was given by Huang Ama. It is usually difficult to eat, so hurry up and taste it."

Su Wei nodded blankly, picked up the fish and threw it into his mouth. As a result, "Ahem..."

The fourth elder brother was startled, seeing Su Weibi gesticulating and pointing at his throat, his face immediately changed, and hurriedly got up to pour water, "Why are you so careless, you don't even pick the bones when eating fish!"

Su Wei coughed so much that his face was flushed, and the fourth elder brother poured a large glass of water and choked on a large mouthful of food before he felt better.

The fourth elder brother couldn't let go, held Su Wei's head and said, "Come on, open your mouth and show me."

Su Wei's eyes were red and his mouth was wide open, "Ah..."

The fourth elder brother looked at it for a long time, but didn't see anything, so he slapped Su Wei angrily, "You idiot!"

At night, Su Wei put out the candles, got into bed, and squeezed close to the fourth elder brother.

The fourth elder brother raised his mouth, and put his arm around the man's waist, "You are already a big boy, and you still have to worry about eating."

Su Wei laughed twice, and put his forehead on the fourth prince's chin, a pair of big eyes flickered in the dark.

In the spring of March, the warmth of Beijing gradually disappeared, there was no snow in the palace, and a tree of kapok bloomed in the imperial garden, which was very bright.A lot of newly cultivated camellias of various colors were placed in the flower room according to the occasion, and it really felt like a hundred flowers blooming in spring.

The concubines who had stayed in the house for a whole winter also stepped on the warm sun and walked in the imperial garden.

Concubine Liang was supported by Hongling into the imperial garden, wandering around Wanchun Pavilion, when she reached the lotus pond, she met Concubine Cheng coming slowly.

"Yo," the corner of Concubine Cheng's mouth curled up, "Isn't this Concubine Liang's younger sister? We haven't seen each other for a long time."

Concubine Liang nodded slightly, "Greetings to my sister, my sister is not in good health recently, please don't be offended."

"My sister is serious," Cheng Concubine pinched the handkerchief to cover the corners of her lips, "Now that my sister is in the concubine's position with me, how can a sister make a fuss? In the end, it was Concubine Hui who came back from the Baohua Palace to pray for blessings." I have been living in seclusion, and the bustling Yanxi Palace in the past has gradually become deserted. Seeing that the younger sister who has always been close to Concubine Hui no longer visits the door, it is inevitable that I feel a little disappointed."

Concubine Liang smiled slightly when she heard the words, "Sister is really a kind-hearted person. Concubine Hui prayed for the Qing Dynasty earlier, so she probably doesn't like the excitement anymore. With Sister Concubine Cheng by her side, the younger sisters can feel at ease. "

Concubine Cheng's complexion changed slightly, she turned around and took two steps towards the pool, "My sister heard that Brother Ba is very popular in the court recently, and even Prince Yu is full of praise. Looking at my sister's expression now, I think the rumors are true. "

Before Concubine Liang could speak, Concubine Cheng said again, "But it's true, not to mention that Ba Ge was taught by Concubine Hui, and Ba Ge's marriage is rare among princes. It's just that my sister wants to come now, Ba Ge My elder brother has been married for several years. Why is there no sound at all in this backyard? It’s fine if you don’t have any children, and you didn’t even enter. The Wang family who was in the elder brother’s house at the beginning died of illness as soon as he left the palace. Now the eighth elder brother Fujin is the only one in such a huge mansion, isn't it too thin?"

"Don't bother me, sister, worry," Concubine Liang turned around and looked at Hechi, "Yinhu is young, the most important thing is to hurry up and give birth to a son-in-law."

"Sister is really good-natured," Cheng Concubine curled her lips, "If this is the seventh old Fujin, my sister scolded her early in the morning. This backyard is empty, isn't Fujin's reputation of jealousy confirmed? If it spreads, it will be lost." But the face of the whole family."

Concubine Liang tensed her expression, and nodded slightly at Concubine Cheng, "My sister is not feeling well, so I won't be with her."

Concubine Cheng pursed the corners of her lips, "It's my sister's fault, I shouldn't force my sister to talk. It's better to take your time to train your daughter-in-law, not to mention that she is the daughter of a princess, with a noble status, and those who are born The humble are always different."

Concubine Liang glanced at Concubine Cheng, her gaze was slightly cold, Concubine Cheng raised the corners of her lips, looking calm.

After leaving the imperial garden, Hongling said cautiously, "Niangniang, don't worry about what the concubine says, she—"

"She's right," Concubine Liang supported Hong Ling's arm, "I'm an old man now, and this concubine is also a nameless concubine. The old eighth Fujin has never entered the palace properly except for the holidays, so why should I lie to myself?" Woolen cloth."

Suoxiangfu

Suo'etu was walking slowly in the corridor, and Geerfen came in a hurry, "Ama, there is news from Aoge that the affairs of the princess' mansion have been completed, and there will be no traces."

"Okay," Suo'etu raised the corners of his mouth, walked down the steps, and patted hard on the branch of an old banyan tree, "When a dead tree comes to life, everything recovers, and the decades of silence will come when the time is good." It should thrive.”

Geer pursed the corners of his lips, stepped forward and said, "My son doesn't understand, why does Amma take such a big risk? If Tong Guowei finds out, we will be in trouble."

Suo'etu raised his head and looked at the huge green canopy, "What we are doing is riding a tiger. If it succeeds, it will be over. If it fails, there will be no worse results. Tong Jia's power should not be underestimated. It’s perfect to stir up trouble on them, disturb people’s sight, and prevent them from blocking the way.”

Geerfen thought for a moment, then nodded.

Siyefu

Early in the morning, before the dew on the lotus leaves had dried up, Xiao Erge started circling outside the East Courtyard.

When the fourth elder brother went out, he saw Xiao Erge exerting strength on a rockery, with a silly look of entanglement, and he looked exactly like someone.

"Xiao Erge!" Zhang Qilin called out.

"Ouch, Lord Baylor," Xiao Erge trotted over with his body bent.

"You came to see Su Peisheng?" The fourth elder brother raised his eyebrows.

Xiao Erge swallowed, his drooping face turned pale, "Yes, yes, Mr. Su has something to order."

The fourth elder brother frowned and stared at Xiao Erge for a while, seeing that Xiao Erge was about to plunge his head into the ground, the fourth elder brother calmed down and said, "Okay, you hurry up."

"Hey," Xiao Erge saluted in a panic, before stumbling into the East Courtyard.

Zhang Qilin looked at Xiao Erge's back, turned around and said to the fourth elder brother, "Do you want me to send someone to look at it?"

"No need," the fourth elder brother walked towards the main courtyard, "he must be messing with something again, let him mess around."

"Yes," Zhang Qilin hurriedly followed behind, "The things from Shizhuanfang should be delivered today, do you want the servants to prepare them?"

"In a few days," the fourth elder brother sighed, "Geng brought it in just by looking at it, and he won't be happy if I give it to him at this time."

In the East Courtyard, Su Wei dragged Xiao Er into the room, "Did you bring the things?"

"Here it is," Xiao Erge took out a paper bag from his pocket and handed it to Su Wei, pulling his sleeve to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

Su Wei pursed his lips, squeezed the paper bag, "Is it prepared by the master chef of Ping'an Hall? They are all good medicinal materials, will they harm the body?"

"No, no," Xiao Erge waved his hands again and again, "They are all good medicinal materials, and the formula is also the best. You ordered me, how dare I be sloppy."

Su Wei nodded, his eyes flickering slightly.

Xiao Erge turned his head to look at Su Wei for a while, and said cautiously, "Grandpa Su, who are you going to use this thing for? No, it can't be, Lord Belle?"
