Kangxi 46 years

On the third day of May, Prince Yong's Mansion

Su Wei shook the net in his hand, frowning all the way into the East Courtyard.

Xiaoyingzi followed behind with a sullen face, seeing that no one was paying attention to the two steps forward, "I told you a long time ago that you don't believe it, and now it's out of control. What if you can't get it right now?"

"Yeah, how good is it?" Su Wei sat in the pavilion absent-mindedly, "I just gave away some gadgets from shopkeeper Shen, and it's too dishonest to buy them on the street. What can I give to others? How about a return gift?"

"You still want to return the gift!" Xiaoyingzi's eyes widened, wishing to swallow his dull second master in one gulp, "If the prince finds out about this, I don't know how angry I will be! Let's hurry up Return this net, don't dig a hole yourself!"

"What are you talking about?" Su Wei raised his head and glared at Xiao Yingzi, "The little girl is so thin-skinned, you just sent her back like this, how do you tell her to deal with herself? Besides, don't care about Ulanara How about Shi Jiayi, Xiuxiang is always innocent, using such a little girl to do things for us, I feel somewhat guilty—"

"Guilty? Guilty!" Xiaoyingzi put his hands on the stone table in shock, leaned over half of his body and said, "Master, you don't want to make up for him with your body, do you? Then what should the prince do?"

"What are you talking about?" Su Wei slammed Xiaoyingzi on the head with a chestnut, "Xiuxiang is still young, but she just has a little fondness for her. When she is released later, I will introduce her to a good family. Surely you won't worry about what you have and what you don't have. Besides, how about me, what does it have to do with the prince?"

Xiao Yingzi blinked his eyes, Su Wei raised a finger and twirled the Eight Treasures Ruyi Knot, and went to Changchun Garden relying on the fourth elder brother, and said very disapprovingly, "Didn't he marry a bunch of wives and concubines?" , I just make a few friends, who is in the way? Besides, he is in charge of the world, can he control me to be so attractive? I will be unlucky in my life and entrusted to be a eunuch, or—"

"What else?" A familiar voice that shouldn't have appeared suddenly sounded behind Grand Eunuch Su.

The hair on Su Wei's body stood up like static electricity, and the wind blowing to the back of his neck penetrated into his collar and went all the way down his spine.Xiao Yingzi, who was standing in front of Su Wei, now bowed her head obediently, looking like a traitor who I didn't hear or see anything.

Grandpa Su secretly gritted his silver teeth, forcibly suppressed the tens of thousands of alpacas galloping past his chest, propped up a smiling face of a beckoning cat, turned around like a Xi Shi holding a heart, and said, "Master, why are you so stupid?" Are you coming back soon? Are you tired from the journey, I'm going to boil water for you to take a bath!"

"Stop!" A certain prince, whose face was as dark as Bao Gong, yelled softly.

Grandpa Su, who was about to rub the soles of his feet with oil, was first blocked by his own apprentice who turned his elbow outward, and then was grabbed by the neck by his impersonal colleagues, and brought him to the fourth elder brother.

The fourth elder brother held a scroll in one hand, looked at Grandpa Su, who had shrunk his neck, but obviously had no repentance, and lost his temper for a long time, and finally turned his head and said, "Go back to the house with the master!"

Su Wei pursed his lips, kicked Zhang Bao coldly, and glared at Xiao Yingzi who hid behind the pillar. He put the string that Xiuxiang gave him into his sleeve, and followed the fourth elder brother into the main room with his arms swung.

"Why did you come back so soon?" Su Wei followed the fourth elder brother into the bedroom, saw the man took off his boots, sat on the couch, and hurriedly poured a cup of tea, "I thought you had to be in Changchun Garden I’ve been staying for a while, and I was thinking of going to find you when I’m done with my work.”

The fourth elder brother glanced at him, snorted softly, put the scroll on the kang table, bowed his head and went to drink tea.

Su Wei pursed his lips, and after looking left and right for a while, he picked up the scroll and unfolded it, "What is this? Where is the drawing?"

The fourth elder brother put down the tea bowl, took a deep breath and said, "It's a piece of land to the north of Changchun Garden, where there is an abandoned garden of the former Ming Dynasty. Huang Ama allocated that garden and the nearby land to the Lord."

"Given by the emperor?" Su Wei blinked, then looked down at the drawing, "Is it for you to build a garden?"

"Yes," the fourth elder brother curled his lips and nodded, "It's not just me. All the princes from the tenth to the top, except for the eldest brother and the second brother, each got a piece of land. However, the land belonging to the master and the third brother is the best. Well, it is close to Changchun Garden, warm in winter and cool in summer, the original scenery is very pleasant. Huang Ama was very interested, and even personally gave the name of the garden to the master."

"Name?" A guess flashed across Su Wei's mind. The overlap of time travel and history made him feel quite uncomfortable for a while...

"Old Summer Palace," the fourth elder brother didn't pay attention to the change of Su Wei's expression, but leaned on the cushion rather proudly and said, "I think the name given by Huang Ama is very good, 'round and engrossed, you can also be a gentleman when you are a gentleman." ;It is clear and universal, and the wisdom of a master'. The many years of business management of the Lord have not been in vain in front of Huang Ama."

Su Wei smiled awkwardly. At this time, the Old Summer Palace had not yet been officially built, but he knew that this royal garden was known as the Garden of Ten Thousand Gardens in its heyday, but its final ending was a witness to the shame of China. .

"I'll invite An back to the mansion immediately after I got the reward, and I'll take you to have a look around there with all my heart," the fourth elder brother's slightly cool words interrupted Su Wei's reverie, and the sourness that people couldn't ignore pulled Eunuch Su abruptly. Back to reality, "Who knows, in just a day or two, this king's Grandpa Su has become the object of people's admiration, and even gave him a token of love. This master will be two days later, you Is there going to be another import in the small courtyard?"

"What are you talking about?" Su Wei rolled up the drawings very neatly, took off his boots and rubbed his shoulders behind the fourth elder brother, "I'm just going to ask the eighth elder brother about the backyard, don't listen to me Messing around with Xiaoyingzi. Oh, right, you don’t even know that Brother Ba’s backyard is bustling right now, Fujin is going to shoot himself in the foot this time, let’s just wait and see the excitement..."

Changchun Garden

The prince also moved into the Changchun Garden with the emperor, and still lives alone in the Wuyizhai as in previous years.

De Lin replaced Wei Min and became the commander of the bodyguards to protect the prince's safety, and he also secretly worked for the prince outside.

"Your Highness, don't worry too much," De Lin and the prince stood under the willow tree beside the lotus pond, "the slaves have already sent people to watch over Taicang Prefecture. It's just some bandits and thieves, even if there are Tuo Heqi and others Even with his help, it won’t make a difference.”

"I'm not worried about the banditry in Taicang Prefecture," the prince took a slow breath. "What I'm worried about is the Northwest Garrison and the Eight Banners of the Capital Army who are waiting for opportunities under the guise of banditry."

"Your Highness," De Lin paused for a moment, pursed his lips and hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Actually, the adults like Tuo Heqi and Qi Shiwu also made this bad move because they wanted to support His Highness as soon as possible. Although this method is extremely dangerous , but the chance of success is not impossible, if it is true—"

The prince turned his head and looked at De Lin coldly. De Lin froze and hurriedly leaned down and said, "I know my mistake, please forgive me, Your Highness."

The prince snorted coldly, turned around and stood with his hands behind his back, "If the world can be won by rebellion alone, my Empress Ama would not have sat in that position for more than forty years."

on the tenth day of May,

The eighth elder brother left the Changchun Garden, and went to his own hunting garden with Orondai, Nalan Kuixu, and Arsun'a.

"Master Baylor got a new garden this time. After it's repaired, the low-ranking ones will bother you a lot," Niu Hulu's Alsong'a said with a smile and followed the eighth elder brother.

The eighth elder brother let a few people into the shed by the forest, and responded with curled lips, "When the time comes, even if the elder brothers don't come, Yinhu will invite a few of them even if he insists, otherwise he will build such a garden for nothing. Isn't it a waste?"

Tong Jia's Erlundai sat on the eighth elder brother's hand, took the tea bowl handed over by the servant and said, "Don't look at how Prince Yong is valued by the emperor now, isn't this rewarding the garden to be shared with all the princes? The assassination, now it seems that it was just a fright in vain."

"Nowadays, Prince Yong's affairs are minor, and the Crown Prince's is the most important thing." Nalan Kuixu took over the conversation and said, "The case of Nanshan Collection is most likely arranged by the Crown Prince secretly. The purpose is to divert the attention of the Holy Majesty." Ask Heqi and others to pay attention to the matter of drinking. Now, through the relationship between He Zhuo and Dai Mingshi, they are trying to get Lord Belle involved in this civil prohibition case. With the assassination of Prince Yong before, the folks Rumors about the third prince Zhu are spreading all over the place. The case of Nanshan Ji is big or small."

Hearing the words, the eighth elder brother slightly bent the corners of his lips, and said in a calm voice, "Brother, don't worry, I know exactly what the prince is up to. Now that the matter is up to now, I am not in a hurry. Only Mr. and Dai How can it be that easy to involve me in a little friendship with Mingshi? What's more, judging from Huang Ama's current attitude, it is obvious that he does not want to further expand the Nanshan case, otherwise the Ministry of Criminal Justice will have already approved the crime report .”

Several people nodded when they heard the words, and the eighth elder brother took a sip of tea and continued to smile slightly, "The fire in Nanshan Ji can't be ignited, and the ants on the hot pot are at the second elder brother's place. The basin of ice water in my hand , we have to wait until the safest time to pour it on, so as to ensure that Huang Ama's heart towards the second brother is completely frozen."

In mid-May, Lord Kangxi still did not officially approve the excerpts of Nanshan Collection. Instead, he temporarily suppressed the case on the grounds of too many ties, and issued an order to release Yin and Dai Mingshi for buying Nanshan Collection. There are personal friends, but implicated the literati and bachelors who were arrested and imprisoned.

He Zhuo was also released from prison at this time, and Eighth Brother personally drove the ragged and haggard He Bianxiu back to Baye's Mansion.

At the same time, the fourth elder brother asked the emperor for leave, and took Su Wei to concentrate on repairing the garden.When the courtiers didn't know whether to deal with the main criminal of Nanshanji should be loose or strict, Prince Yong seemed to have become a recluse who was not diligent in political affairs and indulged in pleasure.
