Kangxi 49 years

December [-]th, Yanqing Hall

"God bless, God bless..."

Su Wei wandered around the room while muttering, "If I knew this would happen, I wouldn't be so irritating Ba Ge. If he wasn't crazy, he wouldn't have arrested that doctor!"

"Time is fate, and you can't predict the future, how do you know what will happen next?"

The fourth elder brother leaned on the back of the chair, pressed the center of his eyebrows, "Master has already asked Ding Qi to send a message to the manor, telling them to find the doctor, and see the man if they live, and the corpse if they die."

"Brother Ba will definitely kill people to silence him. Now I can only hope that Brother Ba is not fully recovered from his illness. In this way, maybe that doctor can save his life!"

"I hope so..." The fourth elder brother leaned his head back on the chair and sighed heavily.

December [-], Prince Yong's Mansion

In the Dagege courtyard, Yi Erha was lying on the kang table with a gloomy expression, "Ama really won't be able to return home until the beginning of spring, then we won't be able to see Ama this year?"

Mo Yaqi nodded, his gaze drooped slightly, "Fu Jin said, Ama must practice in the palace for next year's spring festival, and I'm afraid she will have to suffer a lot."

"what?"

Yilha straightened up with a mournful face, "Ama is busy enough on weekdays, why don't you let others prepare for that spring festival? What if Ama gets sick from being tired?"

"It's the imperial decree, who can do anything about it?" Mo Yaqi's voice was weak.

"It's better for Hongyun and Hongpan," Yierha leaned back on the table again, "They will be able to enter the palace to study after the year ends, and then not only can see Ama, but also Huangmafa."

"Yes."

Mo Yaqi looked up at his bookcase, with a bitter smile, "Who made them boys? They can read, enter the court, and go out. We girls can only stay at home, waiting to grow up, waiting To get married..."

"Get married..."

Yilha seemed to think of something, but didn't speak again.

"What has Li Eniang been holding you to learn recently? You haven't come to play with me for a long time."

"I have learned a lot, etiquette rules, female red embroidery, governing the family under control, and I have to memorize the rosters of many official families. It's like rushing ducks to the shelves. I can't remember any of them!"

Mo Yaqi laughed, and handed the purse he had embroidered a few days ago to Ilha, "Here, I added tangerine peel, Atractylodes macrocephala, and coarse-grained sea salt. It's the best way to get rid of dampness and cold in winter. You alone Me alone."

"Thank you big sister!"

Yi Erha took it with a smile, and quickly hung it on his waist beautifully, "It's getting late, and my mother-in-law will look for me everywhere again, so I'll go back first."

"Okay, put on your cloak tightly, and don't catch a cold."

Mo Yaqi got up and sent Ilha out of the house all the way.

After leaving the gate of Mo Yaqi's courtyard, Ilha took off the purse from his waist and handed it to Lantao who was waiting beside him, "You can keep it for me, so that Erniang won't see Niannian later."

"Yes," Lan Tao stuffed her purse into her sleeve, "My lord, I don't understand. Didn't Ce Fujin tell you that the prince is locked up? Why didn't you tell Da Gege?"

"Do you think big sister doesn't know?"

Yilha walked to the side of the road and made footprints on the snow that was swept up, "It's just that everyone is pretending to be stupid. I pretend to be stupid, thinking that others are also stupid..."

"Two princesses?"

"Forget it," Ilha jumped out of the snow, "Didn't Er Niang call me stupid every day? Then just treat me as stupid."

Shiyue courtyard

Niu Hulu came to see Shiyue early in the morning again, but didn't say a few words from the beginning to the end.

Shiyue coaxed Hongpan, who came with Niu Hulu, to sleep in the bedroom, let Xiao Shuzi accompany him, and went outside by herself, to accompany Niu Hulu who was in a daze.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Shiyue tugged on Niu Hulu's sleeve, "Okay, the prince hasn't come back yet, so I can't do anything right."

"Is there anything you can't do?"

Niu Hulu took a deep breath, "Don't let Hongpan read with his companion, Fujin's meaning is already very clear. Even if you can enter the palace, you are just a supporting role for the legitimate son. I also inquired about the prince, Hongyun Haha Zhuzi had drawn up a name early in the morning, Hongpan’s probably didn’t even have a shadow yet.”

"You can't say that, Hong Yun is also a son of the eldest son. Besides, the prince has never treated Hong Pan or Hong Shi badly. When you really want to arrange Haha beads, can you forget Hong Pan?"

"I don't dare to think about haha ​​beads now!"

Niu Hulu turned around and faced Shiyue, with an angry expression on his face, "Think about it, when you enter the palace to study with a bunch of princes and grandsons, you don't even have a serious companion to read, you can only bring a small Eunuch! How do you let Hongpan gain a foothold? What will those prince brothers think of him?"

Shiyue lowered her head and thought for a while, then raised her head and said, "Left, the prince will come out at the beginning of spring. At that time, we would rather offend Fujin than ask the prince to point out Hongpan as a companion. The prince is not such a partial person , he won’t ignore Hongpan.”

"Why are you not partial?"

Niu Hulu was so angry that he didn't shy away from saying anything, "I saw it at the beginning, brother Honghui left early, and Hongpan was treated as a substitute as soon as he was born, and the whole mansion was treated as a substitute. My baby spoiled me. As a result, within a few months, as soon as Hongyun was born, our substitute was useless. We were guarded by Fujin like ghosts every day, even if we were naughty or courageous. His Hongyun is bad. What kind of prince didn’t notice what you said? Did he care? Did he ask one more question? "

"Okay, okay," Shiyue quickly covered Niu Hulu's mouth, "Hush down, the child is asleep in the room!"

In Shiyue's bedroom,

Hongpan lying on the bed should have fallen asleep, but at this moment, he stared at a pair of big eyes, face to face with the little book lying beside the bed.

"Master, don't be afraid. Even if you don't have a companion, the little book won't let people bully you."

Hong Pan grinned, stretched out his hand and pinched Xiao Shuzi's face, "I'm not afraid, my mother-in-law even said I was bold."

"I heard from my master before." Xiao Shuzi shook his head, "My lord would be bullied when he was young, but my master was so powerful back then that even the imperial doctor dared to scold him. If someone bullies the master in the palace , I will work hard."

"Are you stupid or not, I won't be bullied."

Hong Pan pulled the quilt on his body, leaving only his head outside, "I just find it strange. I used to think that Hong Yun and Hong Shi were both my younger brothers. I am an older brother, and I want to protect them. However, the people around People, including my mother-in-law, are saying that Hong Yun is a legitimate son, which is different. He is more noble and important than me, and Ama will like him more."

"Not at all!"

Xiao Shuzi was a little annoyed, "Just because brother Hongyun was born in Fujin, is he honorable? Then the prince was not born to the queen."

"Shh-"

Hong Pan knocked Xiao Shuzi on the head with a chestnut, "Why do you dare to say anything? Eunuch Su is not in the mansion now, if someone overhears you, you will be punished!"

"I'm not afraid of being hit by a board," Xiao Shuzi puffed up his chubby cheeks, "Anyway, in Xiao Shuzi's heart, the master is the most important, the master is the most honorable, and I will only recognize you as a master!"

After all, Hongpan couldn't help laughing, reached out and rubbed Xiao Shuzi's head, wrapped himself in the quilt, and slowly closed his eyes.

In the outer room, Shiyue comforted Niu Hulu who had finally calmed down.

"You've always been the smartest and soberest, what's the matter now?"

Shiyue poured a bowl of clear tea and put it in Niu Hulu's hand, "If you say that the prince has a partiality for Hongyun and Hongpan, you are too good at cutting corners. Whenever Hongpan got into trouble, the prince didn't take care of it." Huh? It was the last time he almost ran into the emperor in Yuanmingyuan, and the prince was not willing to punish him. As for Hongyun, I said, he is a legitimate son after all. There must be some differences between public and private, otherwise, outsiders will know , it's hard to stop Yoyo's mouth."

Niu Hulu let out a long breath, picked up the tea bowl and took a few sips.

Seeing that she finally listened to it, Shiyue breathed a sigh of relief, "Let's just wait until the prince comes out, and you don't have to think about it. Besides, it's going to the palace to study, not to the prison. Under the eyes of the Lord Long Live, who dares to make trouble?"

Niu Hulu nodded lightly, leaned on her chin, and turned her head to look at Shiyue.

Thinking of my fuss and gaffes that day, the two people who faced each other laughed.

"You, everyone is strong if they are mothers, but I think you are chaotic if you are mothers."

"Sister, just laugh at me."

Niu Hulu wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, and looked at Hongpan's sleeping bedroom, "Time flies so fast, how many years can we live like this?"

At the end of this year, life in the capital was very ordinary.

Lord Kangxi fell ill again before the New Year's Eve, and the imperial doctor ordered him to rest, so the palace's New Year's Eve was very simple.

The fourth elder brother and Eunuch Su finally spent a year in Yanqing Palace.

Although there is no meat, no firecrackers, no new clothes, but it is not bad.

The two watched the night together around the fire, and saw a little bit of fireworks in the sky above the Forbidden City.

The 50th year of Kangxi, the seventh day of January

Lord Long Live resisted all opinions and decided to send troops to Tibet for the second time.

The imperial decree was issued to Jiuqing, ordering Yinti, the fourteenth son of the emperor, Gushan Beizi, to be the general of Fuyuan.

Troops were dispatched to the border in three routes, the first route to Xi'an, the second route to Ningxia, and the third route to Xuanfu and Datong along the border.General Yinti of Fuyuan led the third army, set off on the first day of February, and stationed in Xining.

The next day, Lord Kangxi told the ministers of state affairs and others that the [-]th elder brother had been appointed as a general to lead the army, and his banner would be the banner of the Zhenghuang flag, just like the king's banner.He also ordered the kings to choose three guards each, Baylor and Beizi each to choose two guards, and the duke and others each to choose one guard to accompany Fourteenth Elder Brother to serve.

With this decree, there was an uproar in the court.

The banner of the Zhenghuang Banner is in the style of Wang's banner, and all the clan relatives send people to follow. Although they don't have an official title, they are already called the King of Generals.

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, outside Yanqing Hall

When the fourteenth elder brother walked to the Yuhua Pavilion, the imperial guards also gave a big salute.

"I want to see my fourth brother, please let me know."

Aoge paused for a moment, then stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "Go back to the Great General, and I will guard the Yanqing Hall according to the order of the sage, and no one is allowed to disturb Prince Yong's practice. If the Great General wants to go in, he still needs to be invited. Long Live God will do it by word of mouth."

"I just want to meet the fourth brother, say a few words and leave. You open the door, and I can stand here and talk."

"This—" Aoge showed embarrassment.

"what do you want to say?"

Yinzhen came out from behind the pavilion of Yuhua Pavilion, "What's the matter? You're proud of being named the Great General King, and you have to go to Fourth Brother to show off?"

"Yinjin!"

Yinti's expression was naturally bad when he heard this, "I'm 13 years older than you, and now I have an official position, who allowed you to talk to me like this?"

"What's wrong? Do I have to kneel down and call you the Great General?"

Yinjin was spoiled by Lord Kangxi since she was a child. She is ten years old, but she is still treated like a child by Lord Kangxi. She often runs rampant in the palace, and she is not afraid of anyone except Prince Yong.

"You are young, Huang Ama dotes on you. But you are a prince after all, you must understand the minimum etiquette."

"It's up to you whether you understand it or not? Do you understand etiquette and respect?"

Elder Fourteen's complexion suddenly changed, "Come here!"

"Yinti!"

A familiar voice stopped all the guards who were about to move.

"Fourth Brother!"

Now that he couldn't catch the Eighteenth Elder Brother, Yin Ying ran all the way and threw himself into the fourth Elder Brother's arms.

The fourth elder brother stood behind the gate of Yanqing Palace, looking at everything outside the gate with a calm face.
