July [-]th, Prince Yong's Mansion

When Shiyao entered the inner hall, Fujin and Hongyun had just finished their lunch, "Oh, our elder brother is so good today, he even used so much yam paste that he didn't like to eat."

"You man, why are you picky eaters?" Fu Jin took the handkerchief handed over by the maid and wiped his hands, patted Hong Yun on the shoulder and said, "Okay, let's go to the yard to digest food, take a nap in the afternoon, and have dinner in the afternoon." Practice a big character, but you are not allowed to be lazy with the little eunuchs."

"Yes, Er Niang also take a good rest," Hong Yun obediently got down from the table, arched his hands and bowed to Fu Jin, and was led out of the inner hall by the maid.

Looking at the back of Hong Yun who looked like a young adult, Fujin slightly curved his mouth, and he was much more mellow.

"Our elder brother is really rare and sensible, humble and polite, hardworking and intelligent. When he grows up in the future, he must be a filial child," Shi Yao stepped forward, supporting Fujin to the bedroom.

Fujin took off the veil and pressed the corners of his lips, his expression turned cold again, "Hongyun is the prince's son, and the burden on him is heavier than others. Diligence and filial piety are not enough."

"It's the servant who is stupid." Shi Yao lowered her head and lifted the bead curtain of the bedroom for Fujin, "Master, don't worry, with your careful teaching, our elder brother must be the best."

Fujin didn't speak any more, went into the bedroom, sat on the soft couch, and looked at the newly delivered ledger.

Shi Yao pursed her lips, poured a new cup of tea for Fujin, hesitated for a while and then whispered, "Master, everyone in the darkroom has been sent away today. I heard that although they were seriously injured, they are still alive."

"The prince didn't want their lives at all, otherwise he wouldn't have waited until the respect room came." Fujin didn't take his eyes off the ledger, and his tone was unusually flat.

Shi Yao was still a little reconciled, and her tone of voice was a little bit more resentful, "It's not that he is troublesome, otherwise it would not be so easy to come out. Now that Wanxiang has not gained a foothold in the mansion, the servant is really afraid -"

Fujin glanced over, Shi Yao realized that she had made a slip of the tongue, and quickly shut up.

"There are a lot of preparations for inviting the Holy One to a banquet, and it's fortunate that this girl still has time to worry about the affairs of the house." Fujin pressed the account book in his hand, still showing no joy or anger on his expression.

"It's not that Su Peisheng secretly instigated it." Shi Yao bent down and pressed Fujin's calf, "Da Gege is young after all, and he still remembers a little kindness from the early years. The master has been busy these days, and the servant did not tell you As soon as this Big Gege came back to the mansion, in order to support that Su Qiuxin, he beat and killed a woman in public, and even taught the servants present a lesson. Now the servants in the backyard mention Da Gege, and they are all trembling and walking on thin ice. Want slaves Said, the master shouldn't have delegated all the banquet matters to Da Gege at that time."

"That's because the prince intends to promote her. After all, there are only two daughters in our palace, and Mo Yaqi is the eldest daughter. I also think that she will be promising in the future, so she can help us Hongyun to some extent," Fujin flipped over his hand However, these two daughters are not children after all, and they will discuss marriage after two years. They can still be spoiled and indulged in the palace, and when they get married But you may not be able to do things according to your own temper."

After listening to Fujin's words, Shi Yao rolled her eyes, and then said with a smile, "No, now, it's time for the two Ge Ge to learn how to behave well. It's just that Nanny Li is not in good health now, and she usually doesn't Resting at home, I'm afraid I don't have much energy to teach the two princesses."

"Then find two more suitable people to send them to." Fujin picked up the tea bowl, and took a sip, "Gege is going to get married, no matter where you marry in the future, you have to behave politely, advance and retreat properly, otherwise you will be married." Not to mention suffering, it will also lose the face of our palace."

"Master is more considerate." Shiyao got up and rushed to Fu Jin to bless her, "The servant girl went to find two teaching nuns who came out of the palace. They have background and qualifications. Even if it is for the two Gege to discuss marriage in the future, Li Fang Fujin He and Song Xiaozhu will also be grateful to Fujin."

July [-]th, Xipei Hospital

When Xu'er shrugged and walked into the courtyard door, Shiyue was hovering anxiously at the door.

"Xuer—"

"Little master!" Xu'er looked up and saw Shiyue, and hurriedly stepped forward to help her, "It's noon, why don't you avoid the sun?"

"It's okay, I'm not hot." Shiyue grabbed Xu'er's hand, her eyes full of eagerness, "How did you find out? Which Zhuangzi was Eunuch Su sent to? When will our baggage be sent there? "

"That..." Xu'er slowly lowered her head, not daring to look at Shiyue's face again, "People in the mansion seem to have seen a ghost when they mention Su Gonggong, and the coachmen who are usually familiar with slaves, now They all picked on that Eunuch Wan. The servants turned around several times, but they didn't dare to speak to anyone..."

"My lord, it's the slave who is timid, and the slave is useless..." Xu'er said, her eyes turned red and tears fell down her cheeks.

Shiyue straightened up slowly, her face was a little pale, but her eyes were still gentle when she looked at Xu'er, "Don't cry, it's because you are useless, it's obviously because I made things difficult for others. You don't dare to mention it to others easily. It’s not all for my own good, I understand it in my heart.”

"My lord," Xu'er cried and raised her head, her voice full of distress, "I've been with you for so long, and although I don't understand many things, I know that my lord is the best person in the world. I really don't want to see you sad, I really hate myself, I can't help the little master..."

"Silly girl," Shiyue took off the veil to wipe Xu'er's tears, but her own eyes were also faintly red, "what's wrong with me, today's result is already unexpected. It's just me temporarily I can't think about it, I've got the horns, but it's actually just two pieces of clothes. What difference does it make if I don't give it away? Don't cry, let's eat sauced duck at night, and then ask Niu Hulu for a jar of fruit stuffing. You are not my favourite. Do you want to drink that? Mr. Su went out safely, we should celebrate."

Xu'er sniffled and nodded, wiped her face with her sleeve again, and smiled silly at Shiyue.

July [-]th, the farm

The spacious farmhouse is well-equipped with all internal organs, and the windows are covered with green shades. A few willow branches protrude into the window lattice, and are drenched in dew by the cold air on the iceberg.

"Come, come, come, turn around again," Grandpa Su, who was being talked about every day by the people in the palace, was sitting cross-legged on the couch at this time, with a well-preserved watermelon and a bunch of blinding gold rings and jade ornaments in his hand. .

Li Ying, the new chief manager of Yuanmingyuan, who had been dressed up, was circling in the center of the room with a face full of reluctance, wearing a melon skin hat and a blue robe inlaid with gold and jade.

"Hey, it's pretty, it's pretty, our Xiaoyingzi's dress like this is definitely majestic," Zhang Qilin, who was lying on the armchair not far away, pouted his swollen buttocks and still didn't forget to join in the fun.

Eunuch Zhang Bao, who was leaning on the bedpost, gave him a disgusted look.

"Master, the jade pendant on this braid is too heavy." Xiaoyingzi shook off the jingling ornaments all over her body, her face wrinkled into a ball, "I will die of laughter when I walk out like this. What kind of business are you talking about?"

"Who asked you to bring them all?" Su Wei picked up a piece of watermelon and took a big bite, "Aren't I here to see which ones suit you best? Doing business in the capital is all about aura. Buying and selling Where does a person’s aura come from? It’s not from the clothes. You have to dress so that people can see that you have money, but not how much money you have, so that the price can be set and the deal can be negotiated. "

Xiaoyingzi lowered his head and tugged at the mandarin jacket on his body, his head was full of question marks, "Master, you have come out of the palace, if you want to talk about business, you can go by yourself, I can't figure out the twists and turns of doing business."

"You don't need to figure it out," Su Wei shook the watermelon rind in his hand, "I let you go out to support the teacher. Today is different from the past, Su Peisheng's name will not be useful in the capital for a while .”

Xiao Yingzi curled his lips, Su Wei put down the watermelon rind, and said with a straight face, "But you are different, Long Live Lord will visit Yuanmingyuan soon, and you just happened to be added as the manager of Yuanmingyuan. This is not only the prince's trust in you, but also a great The glory. Not to mention walking sideways in the capital, it is enough to deal with a few dogs who look down on people."

"Cut," Xiaoyingzi snorted disdainfully, and while lowering his head to untie the string of jade pendants hanging from his waist, he muttered, "If it weren't for someone who couldn't hold back and burned Tianhe's business, there is no need to push it out now. It’s just a way to stand up, it’s not that you blindly offend others—”

Eunuch Zhang, who joined in the fun, let out a laugh beside him, and the sullen Eunuch Su slapped his palm on the kang table, shocking Xiaoyingzi to shut up immediately, "Stop talking nonsense, get dressed quickly and go out to practice! I lost money, see if I don't chop you up alive!"

evening, farm

The eunuch Wang Chaoqing and Wang Yicheng, who had just changed their medicine, were lying side by side on the mat. The residence arranged by the palace for them was in the northeast corner of the farm. There were three small courtyards in a row, including the main room and the wing room. It was quite spacious for a few people.

Wang Yicheng moved his swollen and sore lower body, and sighed softly, "I don't know how long we're going to stay here, it's really inexplicable how hard this meal is going to be. Tell me, the prince won't just send us away and let us stay here Miserable forever?"

"What are you thinking about?" Wang Chao leisurely hummed a few little tunes, "If we were dispatched here, would we still be able to live in such a spacious house? You are an idiot to be the steward of the village, they have good eyes and ears It's alive."

"I understand the truth," Wang Yicheng frowned again, "but I'm always in a panic. When we were taken into the dark room, I really thought that the prince was dissatisfied with our inner eunuchs holding too much power in the palace. , I want to kill the donkey. Although we have come out alive, but whether we still have the life to return to serve the prince, no one can say for sure."

"You, put your heart in your stomach," Wang Chaoqing raised his hand and patted Wang Yicheng's shoulder, then pointed to the largest courtyard outside the house along the crack of the door, "See, as long as the master is still there , we will be able to go back sooner or later."

The next day, Prince Yong's Mansion

At Chen Shi, Wan Xiang yawned and walked into the big kitchen on the East Road.

Zheng Qi, who came to deliver the firewood, happened to come in through the side door. Seeing Wan Xiang, he hurriedly bowed his body and greeted him, "Slave please ask Mr. Wan to be the policeman. Mr. Wan was on errand last night? It's too hard to have breakfast at this time." gone."

"Hehe, good Zheng Qi, I've been working in the mansion for a few days, and my lips are slippery." Wan Xiang pointed at Zheng Qi and laughed twice, moving his sore shoulders back and forth, "Last night Watching the night for the prince, my back is sore."

Zheng Qi rolled his eyes, and walked two steps forward, "This slave will loosen his hands, why don't you sit down and let this slave press you?"

"Hey, this is good," Wan Xiang sat on the wooden chair in the corridor, Zheng Qi seemed to have some skills, and Wan Xiang relaxed after a few presses.

"Eunuch Wan has worked really hard these days, his muscles and bones are very tight, you should pay more attention to rest," Zheng Qi said while pressing the side.

Wan Xiang let out a long breath, and his voice was soft and soft, "The prince can't be away from people, I have to watch during the day, and I have to serve at night, let alone rest, I don't even have time to drink tea. "

"I still have to serve at night." Zheng Qi pursed his dry lips, and then laughed a few times, "Our prince is really diligent. We are busy in the front during the day and night, and we haven't seen him go to the backyard a few times. , otherwise, Eunuch Wan would not have worked so hard."

"It's not easy for us to talk about the master's affairs," Wan Xiang closed his eyes, seeming to enjoy it very much.

Zheng Qi swallowed, looked at Wan Xiang's expression, and didn't speak again.

July 25, Changchun Garden

The sky was dark, and the two lampstands in the sleeping hall were covered with thick gauze, and the candlelight could only illuminate a palm-sized area under the feet.

Wei Zhu was leaning against a dark corner and drowsy, and Kangxi was lying alone on the dragon bed with his eyes closed, but he was not sleeping peacefully...

"Master Shao Guoyi, the country left by Master Shunzhi now depends on the ancestors."

"Xuan Ye, raise your head, this is your world and your burden!"

"Your Majesty, Sukesaha is treacherous, long-cherished, despised the young master, and unwilling to return to power. He has committed a total of 24 crimes. Such treacherous and evil people should be executed promptly and exterminate the nine clans!"

"Wu Sangui went straight to rebellion, owed the favor of the imperial court to support him, took advantage of the power of the owl, and ran amok and rebellious. The law is unacceptable, and the gods and men are all angry!"

"Long live, the queen has passed away, please mourn."

"This is the world of the Han people. If the Qing dog can't sit still in this great country, you will have to go back to Guanbei sooner or later!"

"Huang Ama, what is a prince? The master never taught me how to be a prince. I am afraid that I will let Huang Ama down."

"Huang Ama, Yinyi is willing to join the army in the northern expedition, and help the Qing Dynasty conquer Junggar!"

"Your Majesty, the crown prince cannot be dismissed. Suo'etu's actions are all for the long-term stability of the Qing Dynasty."

"Your Majesty, Babeile is virtuous, diligent and thrifty, and the sky is a genius. The ministers are willing to raise Babeile to govern!"

"Huang Ama, do you know that my son's pain..."

Huang Ama!emperor!

The face in the dream became pale and frightening, and with a cry, it was no longer Yinfeng's face, nor Yinfeng's, and all the familiar and close feelings faded away in an instant.

"Huang Ama, you are getting old..."

"Who!" The person on the bed suddenly sat up, and Wei Zhu who was leaning against the corner woke up instantly.

"Long live, what's wrong with you, long live?"

Grandpa Kangxi sat on the bed blankly, his chest heaving up and down.Wei Zhu rolled up the bed curtain carefully, seeing that Lord Kangxi was still in shock, he didn't dare to ask more questions for a moment.

After half an hour,

"What time is it?" Master Kangxi turned his head and looked out of the window, which was still dark.

"Going back to Lord Long Live, it's only past three o'clock," Wei Zhu bowed his head, "You've been sleeping restlessly these days, and when it's dawn, you'd better call an imperial physician to take a look."

"Where is Liang Jiugong now? Tell him to come and serve," Lord Kangxi still turned his head, as if he didn't hear Wei Zhu's words.

Wei Zhu's body froze slightly, Long Live Lord's temper became more and more strange, and he didn't know what he dreamed about tonight, and he suddenly wanted to see Liang Jiugong who hadn't been in front of the imperial court for a long time.

"Yes, I'm going to announce it now, slave." Wei Zhu took the order to leave, and Lord Kangxi, who was sitting on the bed, slowly bowed his body. From a distance, he looked like an old man.

Midnight, Prince Yong's Mansion

In the silent night, only patrolling guards occasionally passed by.In Fujin's courtyard, the lanterns on the porch had already been extinguished, and the little eunuch who was guarding the stove in the teahouse leaned against the wall, playing slightly.

"Meow—" A meow sounded from somewhere, and the little eunuch in the waiter twitched his mouth, tilted his head and fell asleep again.

A black figure in a cloak walked past the tea room lightly, and the corner door of Fujin's courtyard was slowly opened.

"You're really here," said the maid Yuancao who opened the door, sweeping the Fujin Courtyard, and standing outside the door was Zheng Qi who was chopping firewood in the row.

"I bought the porter in the backyard, and it's time for the guards to turn over now," Zheng Qi grinned, his small eyes gleamed in the darkness, and he didn't see the simple and honest daytime.

"You're quite capable." Yuan Cao pinched the hood of the cloak subconsciously, poked her head out the door and looked around, "You have to be careful when you do things, don't turn around and drag me out."

"Don't worry," Zheng Qi rolled his eyes, "the palace is already in chaos these days, who has the time to take care of us little people. Hey, stop talking nonsense, have you brought anything?"

"Here I am, here I am," Yuan Cao took out a stack of papers from his sleeve, "I dare not take the original from Fujin, I copied it secretly, only the last two years, and keep everything else Into the warehouse."

"Cough, two years is enough, two years is enough," Zheng Qi grabbed the stack of papers, read two pages by the moonlight, and the smile on his face became more and more weird, "That's great, I can send you paper now." Now, looking back, who dares to look down on me!"

"Keep down," Yuan Cao poked Zheng Qi, his face turned slightly pale, "I've given you something, you promised me—"

"Don't worry, don't worry," Zheng Qi carefully stuffed a stack of papers into his bosom, and took out another stack from his sleeve, "Count it up, it's something you can't earn by sweeping the floor for a lifetime."

Yuan Cao pursed the corners of her lips, her expression was a little nervous, her hands trembling slightly as she flipped through the bank notes, "Let me tell you, just this once, don't look for me next time. You just tell others , I will not admit it, no one in Fujin Court knows that I can read."

"Oh, what are you so worried about?" Zheng Qi licked his lips, and reached out to sweep Yuancao's chin, "It's just two records of the little master in the backyard, even if they are lost, how much trouble will it cause? It's a job that will kill your head, and I can't do it myself."
