Dressed as Su Peisheng

Kangxi 45 years

On the third day of the first lunar month, Daliangzhuang in the suburbs of Beijing

Su Wei lost consciousness after rolling over the brocade quilt overnight, and when he regained consciousness, it was already three poles above the sun.He opened his eyes bewilderedly, and there was a person sitting by the head of the bed, wearing a snow-white underclothes, a silk robe over his shoulders, and an ancient book in his hand. Hua, the son is like jade, unparalleled in the world.

but……

Thinking of what happened last night, the angrily Grandpa Su immediately snorted coldly, kicked him out with a flying kick!

"Ouch!" A certain unspeakable place was suddenly stretched, the intention of kicking the person failed to be realized, and the person who kicked the person's eyes turned red first.

"Why don't you be honest when you wake up?" The fourth elder brother put the book aside and reached out to rub it for Su Wei, but Su Wei gritted his teeth and patted it away.

"Don't be shy, I read it carefully last night." The fourth elder brother bent his mouth, leaned on his head with one hand, and lay on his side beside Su Wei, "I have already given you the medicine for your injury, but it is a little swollen. Just take care of it for a day."

"Use the medicine? Where did you get the medicine?" Su Weiyuan opened his eyes wide, with a bad premonition.

The fourth elder brother stretched out his hand to pinch Su Wei's face, with a smirk at the corner of his mouth, "I asked Zhang Bao to buy it. There are doctors in the village. You passed out last night, and I asked them to fetch water and clean it for you." After a while, the medicine was given again. But don’t worry, the master didn’t let the doctor come in to look at it, he just said it was a scratch.”

One night, cleaning, applying medicine, Zhang Bao, the doctor, and now let him rest assured, rest assured, let your grandma talk!

"Eh..." Sensing someone's expression, the fourth elder brother withdrew his malicious smile, and approached flatteringly, "Don't be angry, I really didn't say anything, but Zhang Bao and Xiao Yingzi really couldn't hide it." It’s just stopped, the doctor just took the medicine to remove the stasis and reduce the swelling, and then called back.”

Su Wei snorted coldly, turned his head and shrank under the quilt, anyway, he was ashamed to face people, and he would not go out in the future.

"What's so embarrassing about this kind of thing," the fourth elder brother grabbed Su Wei's waist, "You belong to the master, Zhang Bao and the others knew it early in the morning, and yesterday was just to make up a process. Be good, don't Bored in the quilt, if someone dares to make irresponsible remarks later, I will beat him up!"

Su Wei rubbed under the quilt for a while, but he didn't feel too entangled in his heart. Anyway, he even became a eunuch in this life, so this kind of thing is really nothing.

"Did you come directly from Changchun Garden yesterday?" Su Wei poked out half of his head, staring at the fourth elder brother and said in a low voice.

"Yeah." Thinking of the past few days, the fourth elder brother's expression was a little dark, "Yesterday, I went to Beijing early in the morning. Kukui told me that you held a banquet at Huaifangju. I went to see it." Look, I didn't dare to delay your business, so I went to Zhuangzi to wait for you first, but I didn't expect to wait for a drunk cat in the end."

Su Wei pursed his lips, "You have already lived in Huaifang, so let someone come in and look for me. There is no delay."

"Aren't you afraid of wasting your hard work?" The fourth elder brother slightly bent his mouth, grabbed Su Wei's hand and squeezed it gently.

"What's the matter with you?" Su Wei noticed the change of the fourth elder brother, and frowned slightly, "Is there something wrong with the court? I heard the news that Babeile was protected by the officials. The emperor should He won't compromise, if he wants Babele to be his reserve, there won't be anything about Zhang Mingde."

"You're smart," the fourth elder brother smiled bitterly, "However, Huang Ama also took this opportunity to see clearly the forces behind the old eighth. Within two days after the ministers played the role, Huang Ama released the second brother." Brother’s confinement, he blamed all previous crimes on ghosts and curses.”

"Really?" Su Wei's eyes widened, and he got out of the quilt. "This is a good thing. The snipe and the clam fight, and the fisherman wins. Didn't he fall into your trap? With the protection of the officials For the matter, Tuo Heqi and the others will not let Eighth Brother go."

"I thought so too," the fourth elder brother sighed softly, "It's just that Huang Ama didn't give me a chance to watch from the sidelines. While releasing the second brother, Huang Ama talked about the princes, saying that the eldest brother and the third brother They were all raised in the home of the Minister of the Interior, and only I was raised by the Holy One himself."

"Nurture by yourself?" Su Wei was a little stunned, "Isn't it just for you to go to the Qianqing Palace to ask about your homework, how can it be considered to be raised by yourself?"

"Huang Ama's words naturally have other meanings." The fourth elder brother sat up with the support of the bed, "Second brother has been imprisoned for a long time, and now he is making a comeback under the curse. The power behind the elder brother has been reduced again and again, and no one is sure how long this crown prince can last. Although Yinhu is protected by all the officials, it is obvious that he is not favored by Huang Ama. At this time, Huang Ama treats the other princes Attitude is what courtiers are most concerned about."

"What does the Lord mean?" Su Wei pursed his lips dryly, "the emperor intends to push the Lord to the front of the stage, to attract the attention of the courtiers, and to stir up the fight between the prince and the eighth elder brother?"

The fourth elder brother glanced at Su Wei and nodded, "If Huang Ama really has this intention, there are only two ways for me to go. One is to be like the big brother, take advantage of the wind, and compete with the princes for the honor of the East Palace." The head is broken and bloody. The second is to be like Yinxiang, to retreat bravely in a rapid flow, and to be willing to be the queen for the rest of his life."

"Why do you want to retreat?" Su Wei shook the cushion under his waist, "At the beginning, the emperor asked me to retreat outside the court and be an idle prince. You were depressed for a long time. Finally, now, the emperor has used me , I gave the master the opportunity to formally contact the reserve position, why did he withdraw? There is no good thing in this world to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight all day, the tiger comes too much, and it is dangerous to sit no matter how far away."

"It's easy for you to say," said the fourth elder brother, leaning against the bed, "after retiring to others, he is in control of the overall situation, and he is in danger every day. Now that he is being pushed in front of others, what if he becomes a target and is attacked from both sides? Get out of the way? Big Brother and Thirteen are examples, not to mention, I don’t think I have the ability to blatantly fight for the crown prince.”

"Oh," Su Wei kicked the quilt, "I don't understand, why are you brothers so stubborn, why are you trying to grab the position of the prince?"

The fourth elder brother raised his eyebrows, and Su Wei pinched his fingers and calculated for a long time, "Master Kangxi became the throne at the age of eight, and it has been 45 years now. What's the point of fighting for the reserve position now? When you become the prince, you become the target of public criticism. People shot into a sieve, and they were replaced by the emperor. It was different from King Zhijun at that time. The emperor was approaching his twilight years. At this time, the Lord wanted to fight for the throne, not the crown prince! It was like a game. When it comes to the table, it’s not whoever sits on the bank can win, but whoever is at the table can play the cards to the end.”

The fourth elder brother was taken aback when he heard that, squinted his eyes and thought for a long time, then turned to look at Su Wei and said, "Who have you played cards with recently?"

Su Wei pursed his lips, suddenly felt aggrieved, knelt down on the bed with great effort and said, "I'm not good at horse hanging, it's all because you usually read or read, if it wasn't for Brother Wang's help last time, I would be ashamed .”

"Who is Big Brother Wang?" Fourth Brother frowned, "Why have you never heard of this character?"

"Wang Xiangqing is the treasurer of Jishengtang," Su Wei said leisurely, "We are partners now. Last time I played cards with a few Huizhou merchants, Brother Wang fed me the cards and took me to the dealer, or I would lose. It's gotta be pants."

The fourth elder brother squinted his eyes, sighed with hatred for iron and steel, "What's so difficult about the horse crane, after playing a few times, you should figure out the way, and you still need someone to help you all the time?"

"Stop making sarcastic remarks," Su Dacaidong was very dissatisfied, "I have been practicing horse cranes with others these days, how can I find the way so easily? Don't believe me, let's try a few games?"

Changchun Garden, Qingxi Bookstore

Grandpa Kangxi leaned back on the mahogany chair, holding a bowl of hot tea and blowing gently, "Is there still no movement from the fourth child?"

The consultant bent down from the side, "Reporting to the Holy Majesty, Sibeile went to live in Liangzhuang in the suburbs of Beijing after leaving Changchun Garden, and never returned to his residence."

Liang Jiugong pursed his lips, frowned and lowered his voice, "Long Live Lord, will Si Bei Le learn from Brother Thirteen—"

"No," Lord Kangxi interrupted Liang Jiugong, and put the tea bowl on the table, "Yinzhen has been strong since childhood, and he never said a word of bitterness between Xiaoyi and Concubine De, even if he doesn't want to agree to it now, He will not make things difficult for himself. What's more, the fourth child has never been a person who is willing to be mediocre."

Li Guangdi, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion who was standing behind the long case, raised his head and said, "According to my humble opinion, Si Baylor just needs some time to make a decision. On the other hand, Long Live Lord, has he made up his mind to support Si Baylor?" ?”

Lord Kangxi breathed a sigh of relief, and leaned back on the chair, "Both you and I know that Yinzhen is the most suitable candidate. Now that I have made up my mind, what worries does Qing Qing have?"

"I don't dare," Li Guangdi leaned over and cupped his hands, "I'm just worried that the fourth beile is different from the elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother in the past. After all, the child was taught by the Long Live Lord and the former empress. "

"You," Lord Kangxi chuckled, "Although Yinzhen can't compare with Yinrong, he grew up in the palace anyway. I know all about his weaknesses!"

Siyefu

For the first time ever, Fujin slept late at noon, and only woke up faintly when he was about to turn on the lamp.

"Master, didn't you sleep last night?" Shi Yao fetched water to wash Fujin.

Fujin shook his head, walked slowly to the bronze mirror and sat down, "I'm so tired, I don't seem to be able to recover from my fatigue after sleeping for so long."

"Could it be that the backyard is too lively these days, disturbing the master?" Shi Yao curled her lips and said, "Who knew that Geng Gege, who is usually quiet, is actually such an idea, we can't take it lightly in the future she."

Fujin sighed when he heard the words, "Isn't it just to accompany Lord Belle for a walk in the East Garden? She has been in the mansion for a long time, seeing that Niu Hulu is pregnant with a child, she should be anxious. Besides In just one night, the number of times she has served Lord Belle in the past few years can't be compared with Song's, so it's her turn."

"The master is still magnanimous," Shi Yao pursed her lips, "I heard that the servants in the backyard are all sour and jealous. Even Nianfu Jin's place is not very obedient. Speaking of these days, she was taken by Baylor. Grandpa was negligent."

"Nian Shi is not a simple character either," Fujin looked at himself in the mirror, suddenly feeling bored.

"By the way," Shi Yao bowed down as if thinking of something, "Eunuch Zhang sent someone back to send a message saying that Lord Belle is living in Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing these days, and Fu Jin has to worry about the affairs of the house. "

"Why did you suddenly live in Zhuangzi?" Fujin frowned, "After all, it's the New Year's Eve, so I should live in the mansion anyway."

"Recently there are a lot of things going on in court, I think Lord Belle is also upset," Shi Yao said in a low voice, "Especially in our neighbor's house, anyone with a big heart can pierce the sky."

"We don't care about the affairs of outsiders," Fujin put a beaded hairpin on his head, "Don't talk about it everywhere, how can a few little girls talk about government affairs at will?"

"Yes, I know I was wrong," Shi Yao hastily leaned over.

Shi Huan was carrying a tray into the inner hall, went to the door of the bedroom and saluted, "Master, the kitchen has newly made donkey-hide gelatin porridge, which nourishes the skin and nourishes the kidneys. You can try a bowl."

"Alright," Fujin breathed a sigh of relief, helped Shiyao's arm out of the bedroom, but retched without even sitting on the couch.

"Master, what's wrong with you?" Shi Yao and Shi Huan panicked for a while, "Did you eat something bad, or—"

The two maids were stunned at the same time, and a thought flashed through their minds.

"Master, this servant is going to ask Doctor Ding to show you," Shi Huan ran out happily.

Shi Yao hurriedly moved the porridge on the kang table away, helped Fujin to sit on the couch, "Master, you haven't had your period this month, it's probably nine out of ten."

Fujin's face was a little pale, and he was stunned for a while, then slowly exerted strength with his hand on his lower abdomen.
