Dressed as Su Peisheng

Kangxi 45 years

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, Baye Mansion

Although the sun at noon in winter is warm, it can't melt away the confusion. The courtyard cleaned by the servants, without the moistness of the snow, looks very empty.

Sitting in front of the hall, Eighth Prince and Arsona both looked slightly heavy.

Arson'a took a sip of his hot tea, and said in a puzzled tone, "Sibeile's move is also a stroke of genius. I'm not afraid of being accused of disrespect for nothing."

"Brother thinks this matter is simple," Eighth Brother sighed lightly, "I'm afraid that just as Mr. Wang Hongxu expected, what Huang Ama said about the princes before did not come out for no reason."

"Master Baylor is saying," Arsuna squinted his eyes, "does the emperor intend to promote Si Baylor?"

"That's right," the eighth elder brother lowered his head and slowly scraped off the tea powder, "Huang Ama has ordered the living officer to cross out the phrase that the fourth brother said 'when I was young, I felt slightly moody'. The current situation, the group The matter of Chen Baozuo has not been dealt with, and the second elder brother has not been able to move back to Yuqing Palace immediately, so the future of the princes is uncertain. Huang Ama and the fourth elder brother's comings and goings, I am afraid that it will become a good story among the courtiers."

Hearing this, Arsunah frowned and thought for a moment, "If this is the case, it may not be a good thing for Lord Belle."

"Oh?" The eighth elder brother raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Arson and said, "Why did you say that, brother?"

Arsun A bent his lips and said, "The matter of Lord Baylor's protection by the courtiers has not yet come to fruition. At this time, if the fourth elder brother gets the attention of the courtiers, it will somewhat relieve the pressure on Lord Baylor."

"Having said that," Eighth Brother frowned, "Fourth Brother is not a simple person, if he really gets into Huang Ama's eyes, I'm afraid he will be even more difficult to deal with than Eldest Brother in the future."

"On this point, Lord Belle can rest assured," Arson suppressed his voice, "Don't forget, the crown prince is leaving the Xian'an Palace right now. If the fourth Belle intends to fight for the heir, conflict with the crown prince is inevitable. At that time, as long as we contribute a little behind the scenes, the fourth elder brother may become the second Zhijun king."

The eighth elder brother pursed his lips when he heard the words, and put the tea bowl on the table with one hand, with a dark light in his eyes, he didn't speak for a long time.

Longkodo private house

Aida followed the servants into the study room, Longkodo was leaning on the couch reading an ancient scroll, a pretty lady in a red dress was sitting on the other side with her lips pursed, seeing Aida's bright smile, she didn't hold back at all the meaning of.

Aida leaned over to Long Kedo not surprised, "Master, another news came from Changchun Garden. After Kangxi agreed to Sibeile's request, he sent an order to all the princes, princes and ministers to detain the prince." At the time of Yinfeng, there was no one who played for him. But Sibei Le had a great temperament, knew the righteousness well, and played for the prince many times. It seems that he acted with his heart, Xun is a great man."

Longkodo froze slightly, raised his head and said, "How did Sibaile respond?"

Aida lowered her head and said, "Si Bei Le dare not admit it, and reasoned that he did not play for the crown prince, but just relayed his words, which is unworthy of the praise of the Holy Majesty."

Longkodo took a deep breath and nodded, "I know what's going on, you send people to watch the Fourth Master's Mansion and the Eighth Master's Mansion more, and report to me as soon as possible if there is anything."

"Yes, the slave takes orders," Aida bowed and stepped down.

Longkodo's eyebrows were deep, and the ancient scroll in his hand tapped his knee lightly. Before he could figure out the reason, he suddenly chuckled in his ear.

Longkodo's concubine, Si'er, who was taken in by his father-in-law, covered his mouth with one hand, and smiled with eyebrows and eyes crooked like a moon.

"What are you laughing at?" Longkodo turned his head to look at Si'er.

Si'er leaned on his chin with one hand, raised the corners of his mouth, and his voice was as clear as an oriole, but with a hint of amorous feelings, "I thought my master was an elegant scholar who didn't care about officialdom. I am old enough to recite poems. I didn’t realize it, but my master is also a man with a city in his heart and high ambitions.”

Longkodo snorted coldly, lowered his head and flipped through the ancient scroll, and said unhurriedly, "If I want to find someone to recite poems and get it right, how can I find you?"

Si'er Xiu frowned, turned her head to the side, and kicked the kang table to the ground with one leg, "I know that I don't look down on lowly concubines, but there is no need to humiliate me like this. No matter what, the master did it because of his own selfishness. An innocent woman was dragged into the pit of fire abruptly. You have a bright spring in your heart, and we can't count on anything. But don't lose your conscience, and take all the sincerity of a person as a conscience."

Longkodo put down the ancient scroll and sighed, "Why are you so angry? Why didn't you give me what you wanted? Don't worry, although I, Longkodo, am not a gentleman, I am not a villain who will repay kindness and revenge. I will definitely not let you go to the fire pit next time in vain."

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, Xian'an Palace

Wei Min, the commander of the guards, is Tuo Heqi's confidant. After the prince was forgiven by the emperor, Tuo Heqi arranged to be beside the prince.

"You guys are a little impatient," the prince sat behind the desk. On the table were stacks of memorials. Even though they were all approved by Lord Kangxi, the prince still had to read them one by one. Although I said that I would not repeat the past, after all, I have not been allowed to move back to Yuqing Palace. The current situation is complicated, and I don’t know how many pairs of eyes are staring at this palm-sized Xian’an Palace.”

"Your Excellency is also worried about the safety of the crown prince," Wei Min bowed, "Xian'an Palace still has the old subordinates of the elder brother, and the power behind the eighth elder brother should not be underestimated, even the four beiles—"

"I know about the fourth child," Yinfeng pursed his lips, "the fourth child sent me a letter on the day he returned to Changchun Garden. Although it was just an ordinary greeting, this hall also understands what he means. Huang Ama's will is beyond his control, even if he has any intentions, he will not attack me first."

"Then, according to His Highness?" Wei Min lowered his voice and said.

"Yinhu was protected by the courtiers, and the courtiers secretly communicated the song in the Hall of Nine Classics and Three Things. It is impossible for Huang Ama to ignore it all the time. After the new year is over, there will be results soon," the prince took a sip from the tea bowl , "Elundai, Alsong'a, Nalan Kuixu and others all have deep family backgrounds, and it is impossible for Huang Ama to punish them severely. On the contrary, Wang Hongxu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, was born as a Jinshi. It would be more effective to start with him."

"I understand," Wei Min leaned over to salute, "I will send someone to inform Master Tuo Heqi."

Siyefu

The Fujin courtyard was lifeless, and an atmosphere of uneasiness was brewing everywhere. Shi Yao and Shi Huan went in and out of the small storeroom from time to time, with panic and anxiety on their faces.

"Fujin," Shi Yao entered the inner room with the chicken soup, "I will help you to rinse off all the oily flowers, so you can use a little siu mai for two bowls."

Fujin sat on the couch, twirled the Buddhist beads and read the last scripture, then opened his eyes and looked at the tray in Shiyao's hand, "I can't eat, my stomach is burning, take it out."

Shi Yao bit her lip, put the chicken soup aside, and said in a soft voice, "If you want to tell me, let Dr. Ding take a look. Last time, you didn't let him feel the pulse. He has been thinking about it for the past few days. If Lord Baylor finds out later, we might not be able to eat in the courtyard."

"I'm fine." Fujin glanced at Shiyao with an unfriendly expression, "You just went back to Dingqi and said that I just ate bad food and I'm fine now."

"Master," Shi Yao knelt down beggingly with a sad face and said, "Your body is precious, how can you fool things like this? Just let Dr. Ding take a look, maybe you are pregnant?"

"Okay," Fujin scolded, "I know my body well, so don't say any more. Get out and don't disturb my scripture reading!"

Shi Yao pursed her lips, bowed to Fujin, bowed and retreated.

Standing on the porch outside the house, Mother Jiang saw Shiyao coming out, she hurriedly went up to meet her, "How is it?"

Shi Yao shook her head lightly, Mother Jiang sighed, and walked back and forth a few steps holding the handkerchief in her hand, "Fujin's menstruation hasn't come yet?"

Shi Yao nodded again, "It's not just about menstruation, these days, I can't help but retch after smelling a little bit of meat."

"Then we won't be able to run away." Mother Jiang frowned and stomped her feet heavily, "We can't afford this, no matter what, we must tell Lord Baylor!"

Daliangzhuang in the suburbs of Beijing

The lights in Su Wei's small courtyard went out very early, and a group of guards stood guard outside the courtyard gate.

The door of the west wing was open, and Xiaoyingzi poked his head out from time to time, looking into the main room, and after a few glances, Kukui took him back by the collar.

Zhang Qilin crossed his legs, and sat at the table drinking tea, "It's still early, and the master will ask someone to bring water to serve in the middle of the night. Let's let the kitchen burn the charcoal fire, let's all rest peacefully."

Xiaoyingzi scratched the back of his head, with a slight embarrassment on his face, he hesitated for a while and said, "I don't understand, what's the difference between now and before? Why does my master feel uncomfortable for several days after every time now?"

Zhang Qilin spouted a sip of tea, and Ku Kui took two steps back in disgust, watching Zhang Qilin laughing out of breath.

Xiaoyingzi was ridiculed, a little angry, snorted sullenly, and crawled into the bed with slippers, thinking in his heart that he would ask his master when the master left tomorrow.

In the bedroom in the main room, bursts of suppressed moans came faintly behind the light blue veil.

From the corner of the quilt that fell on the edge of the bed, a taupe-colored arm protruded from time to time, and the green fingers knocked on the carved wooden railing, leaving a faint mark.

After a while, another darker and stronger arm stretched out, grabbed the hand with the finger puller, and pulled the whole person into the bed, eliciting low moans and intermittent begging for mercy.

After a whole night of tossing, Eunuch Su blushed, lying on the pillow, looking at the slender navy blue python robe in front of the bed, his strong waist, and the neckline that had to be fastened to cover someone's teeth marks.

"My lord has someone set up a house for you." The fourth elder brother had no one to take care of him. He changed his clothes and sat back on the bed. "After the Lantern Festival is over, you can move there. See what's missing, and go back to the mansion." You can take it or buy it outside.”

Su Wei pursed his lips and said nothing, staring at his big eyes, wondering what he was thinking.

The fourth elder brother curled his mouth and pinched someone's face, "It's not normal to have no backing at all to do business in the capital. You don't have to be afraid of Master Lulu's identity when the time is right. Whoever dares to embarrass you, just be generous." Fight back. Even if Huang Ama finds out, it won't be a crime. It's better to be greedy for money than power."

"Cut," Eunuch Su snorted rather disdainfully, and turned his face to the other side, "You still have to reveal your identity, just relying on our family's sixth-rank supplement, the local officials in Gyeonggi will not give you some face! "

"Yes, yes, yes" the fourth elder brother lowered his head and kissed Su Wei's ear, "I'm going back to Beijing first, you are not allowed to run around outside, you have to bring the guards with you, do you know?"

"Got it, got it," Eunuch Su closed his eyes impatiently and waved his hand, "Hurry up, hurry up, I'm going to sleep!"

"You dare to kick me out!" The fourth elder brother slapped Su Wei's butt without seriousness, and Grandpa Su wailed immediately, wanting to get up for revenge.

Zhang Bao rushed to Zhuangzi early in the morning, startling Zhang Qilin.Before the two could speak, they heard a loud noise from the bedroom in the main room.Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and after a while, they all turned their heads and pretended to be stupid, and went about their own business.

After arguing with Su Wei for half an hour, the fourth elder brother straightened out the wrinkles all over again, left behind a grumbling father-in-law, and left the main room rejuvenated.

Zhang Bao quickly bowed up, and the fourth elder brother frowned, "Why are you here? But something happened in the mansion?"

Zhang Bao pursed his lips, lowered his head and said, "Reporting to Master, Mother Jiang secretly told the servant that Fujin is in poor health."

"Is there something wrong?" Fourth elder brother raised his eyebrows, "Didn't you ask the doctor to see it? What is the disease?"

"I don't know yet," Zhang Bao lowered his head and said, "Doctor Ding went to Fujin's courtyard, but Fujin didn't let him see, only saying that he ate something bad."

The fourth elder brother didn't speak, if that's the case, Zhang Bao has no reason to rush to the village early in the morning.

Zhang Bao breathed a sigh of relief, swallowed his saliva and said, "The slave asked secretly last night. The little girl in Fujin's courtyard said that Fujin sometimes doesn't have menstruation, and recently he always retches. I'm afraid, I'm afraid she is pregnant. .”

"Bastard!" The fourth elder brother scolded coldly, "If you are pregnant, don't let the doctor see it. Is she trying to murder the son of the master?"
