Dressed as Su Peisheng

Kangxi 45 years

In early March, Tongfu

Tong Guowei has lost all his official habits. His brown double-breasted robe and gray braids look like a carefree old man in the mountains.

Erlundai sat on Tong Guowei's hands, and his brows were rarely relieved, "Although it is a foregone conclusion that the prince will re-administer the government, but fortunately, Babeile has not been affected too much. Although Mr. Wang was dismissed from office, his hand There is the first draft of "History of Ming Dynasty", and it is just around the corner to return to court."

Tong Guowei gently blew on the tea in the bowl, and took a sip, "The prince is still in the East Palace, but the eighth elder brother is still a Baylor who is not valued by the emperor. The matter of the Nine Classics and Three Events Palace was originally the emperor who asked all the ministers to recommend it. In the end, the prince of Zhengzheng, because of Babele's protection from the officials, asked the Long Live Lord to push the matter on the imprisoned elder brother, and suppressed the eighth elder brother's momentum. It can be seen that, The Holy Majesty's heart is not on the eighth prince."

"My nephew has also thought about what my uncle said." Orondai nodded slightly, "However, it is still too early to draw conclusions. Although Babeile has been reprimanded by the Holy One many times, he has not done anything wrong. Moreover, this time the Holy Majesty reprimanded everyone. The big family also has the idea of ​​balancing the power behind Babeile. After all, the crown prince has a deep foundation in the previous dynasty, and in terms of strength, Bazi is still half a point behind."

"You are right." Tong Guowei put down the tea bowl and stroked his beard. "But everything must be prepared early. This time the prince moves back to Yuqing Palace, the emperor will definitely do something. Several adults in the palace It's time for the prince to leave the palace, and I reckon the Holy Majesty will give a big reward. At that time, we must keep our eyes open. For Long Live Lord, a young elder brother is better to control than an adult."

"Nephew understands," Elundai bowed his head, "This time uncle asked himself to be old, and saved the vitality of our Tong Jia family by retreating. My nephew is very grateful. Cousin, in front of the imperial court I have stayed in the title of bodyguard for a long time, why don't my nephew think of a way—"

"No need, just let him go," Tong Guowei frowned, "Because of that little concubine named Si'er, our Tong Jia family has become the laughing stock of the entire capital."

"My cousin is also a temporary temperament." Elundai pursed the corners of his lips, "In terms of ability, he is not inferior to others at all. Don't worry too much about uncle."

Tong Guowei took a deep breath, nodded, and when he lifted the tea cover, he covered up the strangeness in his eyes.

On the eighth day of March, Yumen listens to politics

The prince moved out of the Xian'an Palace and returned to the imperial court. The emperor specially appointed Li Guangdi, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, and Zhang Tingshu, the Minister of Criminal Affairs, to assist the prince in governing.

After coming down to court, the prince met a group of courtiers who came forward to congratulate him, and walked towards the Rijing Gate together with the fourth elder brother.

"Now that the second elder brother is in charge of the East Palace again, the younger brother can also rest." The fourth elder brother took a deep breath, "Hongpan grows every day, I spend all day in the cabinet, and I don't have time to hug him a few times .”

"It's the fourth brother who complained." The prince curled his lips, "When the Hongpan full moon ceremony comes, the second brother will definitely send a big gift, so that the fourth brother will not let the hard work of these days be in vain."

"Then you're welcome, younger brother," the fourth elder brother cupped his hands, and the two walked out of the Rijing Gate with smiles on each other's faces, but they didn't want to run into someone they were familiar with.

"Yinhu greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince," said the eighth elder brother, who seemed to have lost a lot of weight, with both sides of his cheeks sunken slightly.

"Eighth brother, you are welcome." The prince pulled out the folding fan at his waist and played it slowly in his hand, "I heard that the eighth brother has been shutting himself in the mansion recently, thinking about his mistakes, why did he come into the palace today?"

The eighth elder brother's complexion did not change, he just nodded slightly and said, "My younger brother has repeatedly made mistakes, so he shouldn't have left the palace easily. But the second elder brother is in good health, the officials came to congratulate him, and the younger brother was also lightened, so he rushed into the palace rashly. At this time, Huang Ama's mood will definitely be much better, and my younger brother also wants to take advantage of the second brother's blessing to ask Huang Ama to forgive me, and I ask the second brother not to be offended."

These words can be said to be cautious and respectful, modest and polite, no matter how big the suspicion is, people can't pick out a word "no".The fourth elder brother stood aside, and couldn't help secretly admiring him. When it comes to being tactful, there is probably no one among the princes who can match this virtuous eighth brother.

The prince's folding fan tapped lightly on his hand, and at the end he gave a meaningless smile, "We are all brothers, there is nothing wrong with it. If Huang Ama wants to pursue the matter of the eighth brother, you might as well come and talk to the second brother. The second brother is going to intercede with Huang Ama for you. After all, the second brother is able to stand outside the Qianqing Palace in good health, thanks to the hard work of the eighth brother."

The eighth elder brother was slightly taken aback, but he didn't show any surprise, and still stood there modestly.

"Fourth brother, let's go," the prince suppressed the smile on his face, turned and left.

Afterwards, the fourth elder brother passed by the eighth elder brother, and the eighth elder brother raised his head slightly, "The fourth elder brother is happy to have a son, and the eighth elder brother is here to congratulate."

The fourth elder brother squinted his eyes, eyes full of frost, ignored the eighth elder brother, and followed the prince away.

It was past noon when he came out of the palace.

Zhaojia's Enchuo waited on the fourth elder brother to get into the carriage, and said in a low voice, "After you and the crown prince went to Yuqing Palace, Babeile met Lord Erlundai, and the two chatted for a while before leaving."

The fourth elder brother smiled coldly, and sat against the wall of the car, "I knew that he must have planned to enter the palace suddenly. Tong Jia's influence spread all over the front and back palaces, how could he give up so easily."

When the carriage drove up the long street, Zhang Qilin lifted the curtain and asked, "Master, should we go back to the mansion, or—"

"Go to Su Peisheng's place," the fourth elder brother closed his eyes and leaned on the soft cushion.

Zhang Qilin secretly rolled his eyes, wondering who told the crown prince just now that he hadn't hugged Brother Hongpan for a long time...

The carriage drove all the way into the alley of Longfu Temple. Xiao Yingzi was sweeping the yard with a big broom, when he saw the fourth elder brother get off the carriage, the broom in his hand fell down, "Slave, I see Lord Belle!"

The fourth elder brother frowned, and looked into the empty yard, "Where's Su Peisheng?"

"Hmm... Back to Master Baylor," Xiaoyingzi scratched the back of his head, "Master is still in the shop."

Zhang Qilin on the side also frowned, this little Yingzi didn't have the problem of being unable to hide things on his face before, what's wrong today?

"Go to Jishengtang," the fourth elder brother glanced at Xiaoyingzi, and was about to get in the car when he turned around, but Xiaoyingzi jumped up suddenly and blocked the front of the car.

"Master Baylor, let's rest in the yard. I'm going to call Master back so that you don't have to run back and forth," Eunuch Li Ying smiled obsequiously.

The fourth elder brother stared at Xiaoyingzi for a long while, and the peaks between his eyebrows became closer and deeper.

In the afternoon, Jishengtang's shop basically had no business, and the guy dozed off in front of the counter.The afternoon sun shines in warmly through the door, making it a good time to take a nap.However, the backyard of the shop is not so quiet, the sound of whirring is very lively.

Eunuch Su supported the bowstring, and shot at the target slid down the wall in full swing.Wang Xiangqing accompanied him with a funny face, stepping forward to correct his movements from time to time, to save Su Wei's horribly weak arm strength.

When Xiaoyingzi bit the bullet and welcomed fourth master into the backyard, he encountered such a scene.

Eunuch Li is still very grateful to God for not letting Lord Belle see the passionate scene of the two embracing each other, but the scene right now is enough for the hard-working eunuchs to cry up to the sky.

Intertwined fingers, looked at each other and smiled, took the arrow and bent the bow, and hit the bull's-eye, accompanied by someone's inappropriate loud cheers.

Zhang Qilin silently stepped back ten steps, but still felt that the air around him was almost stagnant, and secretly scolded the ignorant Xiaoyingzi enough in his heart.If he had known this was the case, he should have admonished him with death and knocked him unconscious in the small courtyard on the spot!

"Why is it a little cold?" Su Wei touched the goose bumps on his arms, turned his head unconsciously, and froze in place.

Wang Xiangqing followed Su Wei's line of sight and looked slightly surprised, "Who is this?"

The fourth elder brother stepped into the courtyard step by step, seeing no one but Su Peisheng. Su Wei took two steps to the side, two more steps, and finally hid behind the pillars.

"Brother Li, who is this master?" Wang Xiangqing noticed something strange, and turned to look at Xiaoyingzi.

Xiaoyingzi glanced at the fourth elder brother, swallowed dryly, his master wanted to conceal his identity temporarily, judging from the current situation, who would dare to speak up for Lord Baylor.

"Are you here to find someone, or to make a living—"

"My surname is Yin," the fourth elder brother interrupted Wang Xiangqing, but his eyes still fell on the half of his body exposed behind the pillar, "I am the fourth at home, and I am an old friend of your wealthy Su."

"Oh, Fourth Lord Yin," Wang Xiangqing didn't get to the bottom of it. His expression changed and he bowed his hands to the fourth elder brother. "My Wang Xiangqing is the shopkeeper of Jishengtang. I have offended you just now. Please forgive me."

"It's okay," the fourth elder brother pursed his lips, cast a final glance at the half pair of big eyes protruding from behind the pillar, and reached out to pick up the hunting bow on the stone table, "The one made of yew wood is rare. "

"Siye Yin is an expert," Wang Xiangqing smiled, "This yew wood is light, and Brother Su is not good at drawing a bow, so I specially gave it to him to play with."

The fourth prince pursed his lips and nodded slightly, picked up an arrow with an iron tip, and pulled the bowstring to the full, there was a roar that pierced the wind, the wooden arrow that Su Wei and Wang Xiangqing shot just now was pierced through the middle and fell to the ground , Si Age's arrow hits the red heart.

"Okay!" Zhang Qilin slapped his hands suddenly, and Su Wei glared at him secretly, then rubbed his hands in embarrassment, and stood aside with his head bowed.

"Fourth Master Yin is good at archery." Wang Xiangqing curled the corners of his mouth, and the kindness on his face faded.

Seeing this, Su Wei bravely walked out, "Fourth Master has practiced bowing since he was a child, uh hehe..."

A certain person's smirk was caught by a glance, and he forcibly suppressed it back. The fourth elder brother put the hunting bow on his hand and said, "The bow tire is a good thing, but the bow string is too hard. Su Wei didn't do heavy work when he was young. The arm is not strong enough, you should pull it down for fear of straining your muscles."

As he said that, the fourth elder brother reached out and pinched Su Wei's arm, "Oh!" Eunuch Su jumped aside, clutching his arm, and frowned in pain.

"Brother Su," Wang Xiangqing said with shame on his face, "Brother is not thinking carefully, I will go to the doctor right now—"

"No need," the fourth elder brother walked up to Su Wei step by step, and Grandpa Su immediately showed a bright smile, trying to turn the tide.

"I have good wound medicine in my car, don't bother the shopkeeper..."

The hot breath breathed in Su Wei's ear, Su Wei shrank his neck, grinned at Wang Xiangqing, and followed the fourth elder brother out of the yard step by step.
