Dressed as Su Peisheng

Kangxi 47 years

November [-], Prince Yong's Mansion

The red plum blossoms in the East Garden were very beautiful. Fujin had people pick a lot of them to decorate in the house. When the heat of the charcoal stove was smoked, it was full of warmth and fragrance, refreshing.

Early in the morning, the young masters of the Xibei Hospital came to pay their respects, and Mrs. Li was the first to praise, "Fujin is really kind, I just know how to fold a few flower branches and put them in a bottle, and let the rouge smell when I go back to the house. Can't smell it."

Fujin smiled lightly, eyebrows slightly raised, "The plum blossoms in our mansion have a light taste, and the house is stuffy in winter. I think using more flower branches is more comfortable than burning incense."

"What Fujin said is true, but we have to know how to arrange it," Niu Hulu took over the conversation and said, "This red plum is bright in color, and it will be the most eye-catching if you use it too much. The concubine felt that after a few branches The whole room is bright red, unlike Fujin's here, the arrangement is wrong in distance and shade, and the shades are appropriate, there is no sense of chaos. I don't know which girl is so skillful. Later, Fujin will borrow my concubine to use it .”

Fujin smiled softly, picked up the tea bowl and said, "You like to play tricks on me, and it was Shihuan who brought a few little girls to toss around. How can it be as good as you said? If you want to use it, just ask her directly."

The corner of Niu Hulu's mouth curled up, and he stood up lightly and said, "Thank you Fujin for your kindness."

"Speaking of maids," Geng's eyebrows slightly raised, "I heard that Eunuch Su's younger sister just entered the palace yesterday, and now she is learning the rules from the two grievous Nanny Li."

All the young masters sitting there were startled, only Fujin sipped hot tea calmly, "Whoever's sister is, she has to do things in peace when she enters the palace. A girl from the countryside doesn't even know the rules of salutation." .If Nanny Li doesn't teach well, even for the sake of Su Peisheng's hard work, she can only be a rough servant."

Everyone in the room nodded their heads in agreement, but they secretly looked at each other, thinking about it.

Qian Qing outside the palace

Coming out of Rijing Gate, the fourth elder brother was about to take Su Wei to the Yonghe Palace to pay his respects, but he saw the eighth elder brother coming from behind with a haggard face.

"Fourth brother is well," Yinhu cupped his hands at the fourth elder brother, and the ninth elder brother Yinzhen and the tenth elder brother Yinyu also followed.

"It seems that your body has not fully recovered." The fourth elder brother stood with his hands behind his back, with a dull expression, "Since you are sick, don't force yourself too much."

"Thank you, fourth brother, for your concern," eighth elder brother smiled faintly, "My younger brother has filial piety, so I don't want to wander around, so please ask fourth brother to say hello to the imperial concubine and the concubine on his behalf."

Su Weichu was behind the fourth elder brother, and curled his lips secretly when he heard the eighth elder brother's words. The grievances between Chengqian Palace and Yonghe Palace all happened 800 years ago, and he wanted to provoke the relationship between the fourth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother , I don't know how to find a smarter way.

The fourth elder brother didn't raise his eyebrows, turned around coldly and said, "The good concubine left early, it's rare that you are so pure and filial, the noble concubine will naturally not blame you. However, the concubine Hui has always been in poor health. If you are a filial piety, you should go and see more."

The eighth elder brother pursed his lips lightly, his expression remained unchanged, he only raised his sleeves and coughed lightly twice, his face turned pale again.

Seeing this, the tenth elder brother took two steps forward and said, "Fourth brother is more worried. Right now, the old fourteenth is going to Jiaozhou to do business and has a heavy responsibility. You, the elder brother of a direct relative, should help take care of your sister-in-law and nephew. Taking care of the mansion's affairs, so that Yinti can work for Huang Ama without any worries when he is away—"

"Yinyu——" Brother Jiu had just stretched out his hand to grab Brother Ten, when he saw a small figure galloping out from the Rijing Gate.

"Fourth brother!" The eighteenth brother was also in court clothes, holding his hat, and his face was flushed as he ran. The two little eunuchs behind him were protecting him all the way, and they almost bumped into each other when they stopped in front of the fourth brother.

"Why are you still so reckless? What does it look like for the ministers to see?" The fourth elder brother frowned, watching Su Wei lead the eighteenth elder brother aside, put on his hat, and straighten his clothes.

Yin Jin stuck out her tongue, walked to the fourth elder brother's legs flatteringly, stretched out her hand and tugged at the fourth elder brother's cuff, "Yesterday, Huang Ama said that my strategy was not well written, and I corrected it several times. What else did the master say?" Tangible and intangible, fourth brother will help me see if it’s okay in a while?"

The fourth elder brother didn't speak, and Yin Jin looked around, only to find the eighth elder brothers standing beside him, "Ah, eighth elder brother, ninth elder brother, and tenth elder brother, you are also here."

The ninth elder brother rolled his eyes silently, but the eighth elder brother didn't seem to care about Yinjin's neglect of them, and said with a smile, "How is Yinjin's participation in the court meeting in the past few days? You just turned seven years old, and you can't listen to it for a while." It doesn't matter if you understand."

"I don't understand." The eighteenth elder brother directly shrugged his head, "If Yinli hadn't been pinching me today, I would have fallen asleep in the early morning. This old ancestor is really, why did you put The court meeting is set early in the morning, and the gods don't even let me sleep late—"

Su Wei quickly covered the eighteenth elder brother's mouth with his eyes and hands, and the several elder brothers present looked at each other, but in the end they all suppressed their hostility and smiled uncomfortably.

Noon, Xipei Hospital

Mrs. Li dragged Yi Erha and hurriedly entered the inner room.

"Emiang, why are you in such a hurry?" Ilha pulled his wrist out of Mrs. Li's hand, "There is still chicken soup stewed in my tea room, it won't taste good when it gets cold."

"How old are you, so you know you're thinking about eating!" Shi Li nodded to Yi Erha twice, "Let me ask you, is there a newcomer at Mammy Li's place yesterday?"

Yilha rubbed his wrists, frowned and said, "You said Qiuxin, she is Eunuch Su's younger sister."

Li's eyes widened in astonishment, "You know she is Su Peisheng's younger sister, why didn't you come and tell Er Niang?"

"What's there to talk about?" Ilha blinked his eyes in confusion. "My eldest sister and I are busy with the plum feast after Laba these days. How can we have time to care about such things?"

"You, you want to piss me off." Mrs. Li rolled up the handkerchief in her hand again and again, "That's Su Peisheng's younger sister, she followed Nanny Li after entering the mansion, and she will definitely go to you or Da Gege from now on. Let it go, how can you not care?"

Yilha breathed out impatiently, turned around and sat down on the soft couch, "It's not that there are not enough people around me, besides, I heard what Madam Li said, and I probably want Su Qiuxin to follow the eldest sister. Don't you Seeing that Qiu Xin is Eunuch Su’s younger sister, she doesn’t even understand the most basic rules, so what’s the use of having her by my side?”

"What's the use?" Li Shi sat down next to Ilha angrily, "Just because she is Su Peisheng's younger sister, nothing will work!"

Seeing that her daughter was still ignorant, Li's mouth twitched, and her eyes darkened, "This matter has to be arranged in advance. I can't let Da Ge take up all the good things. Let me tell you, you Days should be more attentive and take care of that Qiu Xin, and don’t treat her like an ordinary slave, do you hear me?”

Yilha puffed up his cheeks, and after thinking for a long time, he still reluctantly said, "It's just a maid, I don't want to argue with the elder sister. I feel very sorry for the elder sister about Lan Fu last time. Besides, It seems that Ama arranged for Eunuch Su's younger sister to enter the mansion. Ama intends to let her serve the elder sister, so why should I follow her?"

"You—" Li Shi held his breath in his chest, and almost didn't recover, "Where did you say your cleverness was from when you were a child? I've said so much, why don't you understand? I can give it up, but this time I will definitely not let it go! Besides, when did Da Gege be short of someone? The Baosheng in her courtyard has served Princess Wenxian. You can give it to Ama without asking if you bring it back. Mo Yaqi. This time you want a Su Xiaomei, so it should be a bowl of water, right?"

Yilha wanted to refute again, but was stared coldly by Li Shi, and swallowed abruptly.

East courtyard

Coming out of the palace, it was already afternoon.Su Wei only had two bites of snacks in Yonghe Palace, and his stomach was empty.

"I'm hungry—" Grand Duke Su collapsed on the couch, not even bothering to take off his boots.

The fourth elder brother changed his clothes by himself, and went to the couch to take off Su Wei's boots, "Master asked Xiaoyingzi to go to the kitchen to get some food. I don't eat much in the palace, so I'll have some with you later."

Su Wei got up lazily, and made room for the fourth elder brother, "The eighth elder brother is really cheap today, and he came to scold him on the pole. If the eighteenth elder brother didn't run out suddenly, I don't know how it would end Woolen cloth."

"How can it end?" The fourth elder brother smiled contemptuously, "His tricks don't work on Huang Ama, but it doesn't mean it doesn't work on the courtiers. If the reputation of purity and filial piety spreads, some literati and Confucians who admire the rule of virtue will yearn for it." No. If there is a conflict with me today, he will not be able to afford it, which not only ruins his desire to gain fame, but also indirectly damages the reputation of the master among the people. It is just a few words, and he will not say nothing."

"True hypocrisy..." Su Wei muttered for a while, puffing his cheeks, turned his head to look at the fourth elder brother who closed his eyes and rested his mind, and said in a soft voice, "Actually, they also want to take this opportunity to provoke the relationship between you and the fourteenth elder brother Right. How many years have passed since Chengqian Palace and Yonghe Palace, even if the concubine De concubine sometimes leans towards the Fourteenth Master, but in the end, you are born with kindness first, so don't always take these things to heart and turn around Let people pinch their shortcomings."

The fourth elder brother opened his eyes, curled his mouth, stretched out his hand and squeezed Su Wei's cheek, "Don't worry, with you nagging me over and over again, no matter how big my heart is, it's softened now... ..."

"Master," the two were talking, Zhang Bao walked into the room with his head down, bowed to the fourth elder brother and said, "The news came from the Ministry of Punishment that Tuo Heqi died suddenly in prison."

"What's the reason?" Fourth elder brother sat up, frowning.

Zhang Bao raised his head slightly, and said in a low voice, "It is said that he had a sudden illness, and when the prison chief found out, his body was stiff."

"Didn't Tuo Heqi sentenced Ling Chi long ago?" Su Wei also sat up, "Long Live Lord didn't execute the sentence for a long time, but let him take advantage of the loophole."

"It may not be suicide," the fourth elder brother leaned on his forehead with one hand, "Tuo Heqi has served as the admiral of the Nine Gates for many years. He is not a timid person. If he doesn't execute the execution, he still has a chance to stand up. I'm afraid it's Hongxi's favor, so that he can't be killed." Some people can't sit still, for fear that a spring breeze will blow and spring will be born again."
