The weather is getting warmer, and the willow trees in the yard are sprouting green shoots.Shi Yao supported Fujin and walked down the corridor, but she saw that Fujin was frowning all the time, not showing any joy.

"Master, what's wrong with you? Ever since you came back from the palace, you have been preoccupied." Shi Yao waved away the maid who was serving behind her, and helped Fujin sit aside.

"It's nothing." Fujin took out the handkerchief and squeezed it in his hand, "I just thought that just after Wanyan got married, there was a side Fujin in the courtyard. Although Er Niang didn't say anything, I always felt uncomfortable. This There is no difference between the inner courtyard of a mansion and the harem, and it is stable only when you have complete names. In comparison, I have been in the fourth master's courtyard for a long time, and our backyard has just sealed a side Fujin..."

"Master, you are not the only one who can decide on the matter of sealing Fujin." Shi Yao patted Fujin's shoulder lightly, "Besides, the fact that these little masters don't have a proper name saves a lot of trouble, doesn't it?" ?”

"What do you know?" Fujin glanced at Shiyao, "It used to be that the backyard was full of gege, but now that Li's head has been opened, how can the rest be reconciled? Let's not talk about Song, Niu Hulu is a common surname , and the only Gege in our backyard full of Eight Banners."

"What does the master mean?" Shi Yao lowered her voice.

Fujin pursed his lips, turned sideways and lightly touched the flower branches under the veranda, "There are some things that Lord Belle doesn't have time to think about, I'm a Fujin—"

"Master," the poem circled the screen wall, interrupting Fujin's words, "Ci Fujin has come to pay his respects."

East courtyard

The court clothes that the fourth elder brother had just taken off were carried out again by Grand Duke Su, and the consultant line outside the door waited with the corners of his mouth bent.

"What orders will the emperor have? Why didn't you say it when you first came to court?" Su Wei lowered his voice while helping the fourth elder brother to fasten his belt.

"Don't worry, there won't be anything serious." The fourth elder brother straightened his sleeves and reached out to pinch Su Wei's cheeks. "Recently, the court and harem are very quiet."

"It's scary only when it's calm," Grandpa Su muttered and stood aside, and the fourth elder brother patted his hat funny again.

"I'm sorry, Eunuch Gu," Su Wei followed the fourth elder brother out of the house, and bowed to the consultant, who returned the greeting with a smile.

In the wing room, Zhang Qilin was lying on the window sill, staring out of the window with a pair of wicked eyeballs, and Xiao Yingzi who was standing by the side scorned him severely.

The carriage drove to the gate of the palace, and the consultant led the fourth brother to the Qianqing Palace first.Su Wei was worried all the way, but he didn't want to almost bump into an acquaintance at Rijingmen.

"Uncle Longkodo," the fourth elder brother raised his eyebrows.

"The slave pays respects to Si Baylor," Longkodo said, leaning down.

"Uncle, have you met Huang Ama just now?" The fourth elder brother stepped towards the threshold with his hands behind his back.

"Yes," Long Kedo bowed his head, "The servant has been reporting back and forth about the progress of the day, and now he is fine and is preparing to leave the palace and return home."

"So that's how it is," the fourth elder brother pursed his lips, "then don't delay uncle, Yinzhen will take a step first."

"Farewell to Si Baylor," Long Kedo stepped aside, passing Si Age, his eyes wide open.

The fourth elder brother was urgently called into the palace by Lord Kangxi, and Su Wei waited outside the gate of Rijing in a panic.

"Little Suzi?" A rather familiar voice suddenly remembered.

Su Wei turned around and saw that it was because of Jiao Jinchao who was transferred from Yinghua Palace to the Punishment Department.

"Brother Jiao, why are you here?" After not seeing his old friend for a long time, Su Wei's restless heart finally settled down.

"I should ask you that," Jiao Jinchao smiled, "How long has it been since the fourth elder brother built the mansion?"

"Hey," Su Wei scratched the back of his head, "It's not convenient for me and my master to go in and out of the palace outside. How are you doing? I often see Brother Liu in the respect room."

"Thanks to you," Jiao Jinchao patted his chest, "Liu Ran is quite polite to me. At the beginning of the year, he proposed a deputy steward. Liu Baoqing said that he would look for an opportunity to see if he could give me another rank. Then we will be among the slaves." There is a man with a head and a face."

"Congratulations, congratulations," Su Wei rushed to Jiao Jinchao and cupped his hands, "I was worried when you were transferred to the Punishment Department. In fact, if there were not too many things happening recently, I would have sent you to the fourth master's mansion. However, looking at it now With the style of you and Brother Liu, I probably won't move anymore."

"Hey, what are you talking about?" Jiao Jinchao sullenly said, "We have been friends since we entered the palace, is that something other people can easily compare to?" After finishing speaking, he pulled Su Wei aside. La, lowered his voice and said, "The people in the palace are not blind. The servants are aware of the intrigue among the princes. Let me tell you, little Suzi, the emperor's health is getting worse day by day. You know that this year the Punishment Department How many servants of the Qianqing Palace have been secretly executed, whether it is colder or hotter, it is a crime of losing their heads."

Su Wei swallowed, touched his cold neck, Jiao Jinchao looked left and right again, and continued in a low voice, "You guys who follow the prince outside must have a backer, and we who are in the palace are the ones who don't." Let me tell you, little Suzi, we have the love of sleeping on the same kang in the Yinghua Palace, not to mention that there is no distinction between inside and outside the palace. Liu Baoqing and I are also thinking about sitting in a safe position so that we can Let me help you out. If someone gets into bad luck from now on, the three of us can pull each other up."

"Brother Jiao, don't worry." Su Wei pursed his lips and patted Jiao Jinchao's hand, "Little Suzi knows the love you, Brother Liu and Master have for me..."

"Su Peisheng," an unfriendly voice interrupted the two father-in-laws who were whispering in the shadows.

"Yo, lord, you're here," Su Wei hurriedly put on a smiley face, and rubbed against the uneasy-looking fourth elder brother, "This is my old acquaintance in Yinghua Palace, Eunuch Jiao."

"Slave Punishment Officer Jiao Jinchao kowtowed to the fourth elder brother," Jiao Jinchao knelt down on the stone road and saluted.

"En," the fourth elder brother glanced at Su Wei, responded perfunctorily, and under the watchful eyes of a certain father-in-law wagging his tail, he took out a silver ingot from his sleeve and threw it in front of Jiao Jinchao, "Go back and talk to Liu Ran." Said, because you did a good job, this is the Lord's reward for you."

"It's a reward from Lord Xie Belle," Jiao Jinchao kowtowed in a little panic, and accepted the reward.The fourth elder brother wanted to promote him, as for what kind of errand he did, he didn't need to go into details, it was just for Xiao Suzi's sake.

The two walked out of the palace together. Su Wei saw that there was no one around, so he swayed to the side of the fourth elder brother, "Master, what did the emperor tell you? Is there something bad?"

"No," the fourth elder brother pursed his lips, "Huang Ama entrusted me with building a mansion for Yinxiang and Yinti."

Su Wei blinked and blinked, "That's all?"

"Yes," the fourth elder brother glanced at Su Wei, "Princes are getting married a lot, isn't it very common to go out of the palace to build a mansion, I have told you before. However, Huang Ama only sends Yinxiang, Yinti The mansion of the old man was handed over to me, Yinhu was in charge of the nine and tenth, and the rest was arranged by the eldest brother."

"That's reasonable." Su Wei scratched the back of his head, "Then why did you have a dark face just now? I thought something happened."

"How dare you say it," the fourth elder brother turned his head and glared at Su Wei, "How long has it been since you and that Jiao Jinchao? You dared to hook your shoulders and bite your ears outside the Rijingmen. It would be good if you didn't kick you like someone !"

"I—" Su Wei's eyes widened, and before he had an attack, he was thrown behind by the fourth elder brother, and after a while he was aggrieved and trotted up helplessly.

Evening

In Fujin's bedroom, Shi Yao waited on Fujin's hair, and said in a very puzzled way, "Master, what does it mean to be side by side with Fujin today? I told you that Song Gege got close to Shiyue and Niu Hulu's because he wanted to Let you take care of it?"

Fujin smiled coldly and shook his head, "It's not that simple. If there is Xiao Jiujiu in the backyard, she would like to show up by herself so that she can stand up to her. Now she must have other plans when she comes here."

"Another picture?" Shi Yao thought for a while, then suddenly said, "Is it Ergege?"

"Er Gege..." Fujin stroked his forehead, "Yeah, she's a side Fujin, and now she's going to give her daughter some foundation. If I'm tired of Mrs. Song because of her words, Mo Yaqi will definitely It will also be affected. From now on, Ge Ge will marry... Fu Meng... Li Shi thinks far enough."

"Does Fujin mean that Fujin doesn't want Er Gege to help Meng?" Shi Yao paused.

"That's not it," Fujin let out a long breath, "Which mother-in-law would like her daughter to marry outside the customs. Whether it's the Li family or the Song family, they are starting to use their brains now. The fourth elder brother didn't like the Song family at all, If I look down on her again, any chance of staying in Beijing in the future will never fall on Mo Yaqi's head."

"What does master want?" Shi Yao pursed her lips.

"What can I do?" Fujin snorted coldly, "If you're left, you can't let them mess around. The matter of Fumeng can be solved by a few girls in the backyard? Even the emperor's daughter has to marry out, let alone we?"

"But," Shi Yao hesitated for a moment, "Song Gege is easy to say, no matter what, he can't turn the sky around. There is only Fujin..."

"What are you afraid of?" Fujin glanced at Shiyao, "She thinks that she is a Fujin, so she is superior to others? The Song family also has a daughter, and there can only be one Fujin in this mansion."

The next day, Fujin courtyard

"Canonize the Song family?" The fourth elder brother frowned and leaned on the bench.

"Yes," Fujin stood aside, his voice softened, "I know that Lord Belle values ​​Mrs. Li. But please don't forget, Mrs. Song was the first to serve you, and gave birth to Da Gege. Now Mrs. Li is coming from behind, Mrs. Song is down." It’s okay to say, but Mo Yaqi really lost face.”

"This—" When mentioning his daughter, the fourth elder brother hesitated.

Fujin pursed his lips, and said in a soft voice, "We don't have many children in our house, and the two Princesses are the treasures of the Lord. It's just that the slaves just follow the trend. Er Gege's status is also higher. If Mo Yaqi hears something and misunderstands that the master favors one and treats another, the child will feel uncomfortable in the future."

"What Fujin said is indeed reasonable." The fourth elder brother sighed, thought for a moment and said, "Let me think about this matter again... Recently Huang Ama handed over the errands for the thirteenth and fourteenth mansions to Me, I'm not good, please seal the side Fujin at this time."

"What I said is that this concubine is just bringing up my own thoughts, and I just need to think about it." Fujin blessed Fushen, "I will comfort Mo Yaqi more, so don't worry about me."

"Okay," the fourth elder brother got up and looked at Fujin. Today, the communication between the two of them is rare and smooth. Fujin needs to worry more."

Fujin glanced at the fourth elder brother, and was a little flattered, so he calmed down and hurriedly leaned down and said, "Thank you for your concern, these are what a concubine should do."

The fourth elder brother nodded, his outstretched hand stopped suddenly when it met Fujin, and finally patted Fujin's shoulder stiffly, and walked away.

The corners of Zhang Bao's eyes twitched for half an hour, he stumbled and followed his master back to the East Courtyard, forgetting that Xiang hadn't bowed to Fujin to leave.

end of April

There was good news from the palace that Jiao Jinchao was promoted from the deputy director of the Punishment Department to the head of the punishment file of the Punishment Department, and was promoted to an eighth-rank eunuch.

At the same time, the errands for the elder brothers to build the mansion were officially awarded.The fourth elder brother began to run to the Ministry of Internal Affairs every day. After all, with the title of Lord Belle, the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not make it difficult.It's just that the matter of building a mansion is complicated, and the fourth elder brother was still quite confused when he first got started.Fortunately, within a few days, Nian Xialing begged to retire and returned to Beijing, and the fourth elder brother had a new right-hand man.

But no one ever thought that just after the peaceful April, an imperial decree disturbed the muddy water in the court, "The Mongolian vice-capital of Zhenglan Banner Tong Jia's Longkoduo belonged to the law, and the Longkoduo Royal He is not strict, and he connives at his subordinates to use the public to seek personal gain. He dismissed his deputy Du Tong and Luan Yi envoy, and asked his first-class bodyguards to walk around to see the effect."
