Dressed as Su Peisheng

Kangxi 50 years

On the fourth day of February, Yonghe Palace

Li Qinzhi welcomed Su Wei into his room, and asked the eunuchs to bring a hearty breakfast.

"I don't know if the lord is going out of the palace today, he was in a hurry for a while, so Eunuch Su just treats it as a casual meal." Li Qinzhi is ten years older than Su Wei, and is also an old eunuch in the palace for many years.

However, even though he is the chief eunuch of the Yonghe Palace, he is only at the seventh rank, so he cannot be trusted in front of Su Peisheng.

"Mr. Li is too polite. We are slaves, as long as we can fill our stomachs, why are there so many demands?"

Grandpa Su said so, but his subordinates were not polite. First, he had two mouthfuls of mutton on fire, and then he drank a bowl of hot chicken and yam porridge. The three injections of small vegetables were placed next to him, but he didn't even look at it.

Qiu Hai stood beside him pitifully, his identity was not allowed to serve on the table, so he could only watch and drool.

Li Qinzhi chuckled, and poured another cup of tea for Su Wei, "My apprentice was temporarily ordered to serve the prince, and I didn't have time to say a few words. This kid is not usually clever, so I don't know if he can help you." Help Eunuch Su."

"Qiu Hai is diligent in doing things," Eunuch Su nodded while drinking the porridge.

"However, the brain is really not very smart."

Li Qinzhi, who just wanted to be humble for his apprentice, almost didn't bring it up, and coughed twice because of choking.

Qiu Hai lowered his head, not daring to say a word.

"However, our prince is not difficult to serve, as long as he can obey orders, he doesn't need to use his own brain."

Su Wei raised his head and raised his chin at Li Qinzhi, "You think so, Manager Li?"

Li Qinzhi was stunned for a moment, then he immediately came to his senses, nodded and said, "That's natural, the obedience of a slave is what matters."

Eunuch Su grinned, lowered his head and continued to eat.

Li Qinzhi secretly glanced at Qiu Hai, and pursed his slightly dry lips, "My lord has lived in Yanqing Palace for more than two months, and our master has been talking about it every day. Now it's finally come out, how good is it for the lord?" Entering the palace, to accompany the empress is the right thing to do."

"Where is there room for a slave to comment on the matter of the master?"

Su Wei didn't even bother to raise his eyebrows, "Besides, our prince has always been filial. If your empress thinks about it, just send someone to call her."

"That's, that's..."

Now Li Qinzhi was even more uncertain about Su Peisheng's pulse. When Prince Yong had an accident before, the Concubine De was eager to take action for the Fourteenth Lord, and she did not hide it with many means.

Did Prince Yong realize the purpose of the Yonghe Palace, or did he realize what he had in mind, and the eyes of the Yonghe Palace are also dimmed right now.

Li Qinzhi originally wanted to draw some clues from Su Peisheng's attitude.

But now, he didn't have any clue about the people's four-and-a-half answers.

In the back hall of the Yonghe Palace, the fourth elder brother and the concubine Defei also had a very "harmonious" breakfast.

Regarding the previous incident, Concubine De only said that she heard that the fourth elder brother was implicated by the Xian'an Palace, she was in a hurry, and only wanted the fourth elder brother to get away quickly, without thinking about it.

The fourth elder brother has always been full of guilt, and let Concubine De feel at ease, take care of her body, and stop wasting energy on herself.

After the filial mother's loving breakfast was finished, the fourth elder brother bowed to Concubine De and bid farewell.

Coming out of Yonghe Palace, Su Wei asked Zhang Baoxian to go back to the palace.Anyway, he is full, so he can accompany the fourth elder brother to go elsewhere.

"Where are we going now? To Qing Palace?"

Fourth elder brother stood in front of Yonghe Palace for a while, shook his head, "No, let's go to Chengqian Palace."

Yonghe Palace

Qingju asked the servants to clean up the table, and helped Concubine De to walk slowly in the room.

"Your Majesty, I think the lord is still the same as usual, so I don't think I care much about it."

"Yinzhen made a general and led his troops to the border. How could Yinzhen not care?"

Concubine De frowned, "It's just that I don't want to get angry here. As for what I did, I admit it. If he wants to complain and get angry, I can only bear it."

"Your Majesty, don't think like this," Qingju comforted her in a soft voice, "You are the prince's dear Empress, how can a son be angry with Empress? Even if there is dissatisfaction for a while, it will pass after a long time."

Concubine De shook her head lightly, the melancholy on her brows remained undiminished, "Actually, I would rather he lose his temper. If it were Yinti, even if the roof was knocked over, he would have to ask about it from me." answer."

"Only Yinzhen," Concubine De turned her head to look at the vast expanse of whiteness outside the window, "I, a mother-in-law, can't figure out how deep my thoughts are..."

"Miss!"

While the two were talking, Li Qinzhi hurried in from outside.

"Your Majesty, the lord went out from us. He didn't go back to the mansion or go to Qianqing Palace, but—"

Li Qinzhi paused, then lowered his head, "I went to Chengqian Palace instead."

Concubine De was startled, and immediately felt dizzy.

"Miss!"

Cheng Qiangong

In front of the portrait of Empress Xiaoyi, Huanyue handed the ordered incense to the fourth elder brother.

"The prince has a heart," Tong Jia's Ye Ruo stood behind the fourth elder brother, looking at the dignified woman in the portrait, "My sister is in the sky, and she must always miss the prince."

The fourth elder brother kowtowed and put the incense in his hand into the incense burner.

"Now that the imperial concubine is in a high position, she can do well in the harem. I still remember that when the empress was dying, she asked us to caress each other. Looking back, it's really embarrassing."

"No matter when and where, as long as the prince needs it, this palace is willing to do my best for the prince."

"The imperial concubine is polite," the fourth elder brother stood up, "Tong Guowei is old, even though Longkodo and Orondai are still very good ministers. But in the past two years, Tong Jia's family is no longer as prominent as before. This king knows , this is inseparable from the secret management of the imperial concubine."

"Any aristocratic family, if you don't know how to retreat bravely, the final result will be the collapse of the building."

Tong Jia's Ye Ruo led the fourth elder brother back to the main hall, "My father chased power too much, and was blinded by the prominence of Tong Jia's family. Now he is fine, no matter how much he wants to struggle, he can't do it anymore. Listen Family members said that he has been in poor health recently, and his contact with Orondai and others had to be reduced a lot."

"That's good," the fourth elder brother sat down to Tong Jia's hands, "Tong Guowei has a relationship with this king. For the sake of the emperor's mother, this king is not willing to directly confront him. What's more, he is also Longkodo's father, this king now relies on Longkodo, and treats Tong Jia's three points more favorably."

"It's his good fortune for my brother to be counted on by the prince," Tong Jia said with a slight smile, "although there have been rumors that the fourteenth elder brother is expected to rule, but I believe that my brother will not be as shallow as them. The prince His political and military talents are obvious to all, and no one is more suitable for that position than the prince."

Yonghe Palace

Concubine De had a headache, Qingju and Li Qinzhi helped her to lie down on the soft couch, and it took her a long time to recover.

"Your Majesty," Qing Ju brought the Anshen Soup and knelt down on the ottoman, "Don't take it to heart, the prince may have been on a whim. After all, the Tong Jia family is now the head of the harem, and the prince just came out of the Yanqing Palace. It’s only natural to pay a visit.”

"What should be taken for granted?" Concubine De's eyes were flushed, "If he changed into a python robe and jade belt after returning home, and formally entered the palace to greet Tong Jia, how could I say 'no'? Now, Just after coming out of Yanqing Palace, I went to Chengqian Palace before I even went to Qianqing Palace, so what do the people in the palace think?"

"When Xiaoyi was alive, Ben Gong was always behind her. Now that she is dead, why should Ben Gong still be compared with that Tong Jia who entered the palace later?"

"Mother--"

"After so many years, it's been hard. Few people in the palace have mentioned the fact that Yinzhen was raised in Chengqian Palace when he was young. This palace has become his rightful mother-in-law. But now that he has gone like this, the original Wouldn't the matter be thrown in front of others again? After all these years, this mother in the palace is not as good as a dead person?"

"Your Majesty, you are on the edge of a dead end."

Qing Ju hurriedly wiped the sweat off Concubine De's forehead with a handkerchief, "Although the imperial concubine is in charge of the palace now, you are the most respected in the six palaces of this thing. Besides, our Fourteenth Master Just appointed General, who in this palace does not look up to our Yonghe Palace? Who dares to spread nonsense about us, is he dying?"

"If people don't spread it publicly, how can they say nice things behind their backs? Besides, there is Concubine Yi."

Concubine De pressed the center of her brows and endured the throbbing pain on the top of her head, "Yinzhen really knows where my weakness is, this knife is always stabbing at the most painful place. Just now, Bengong also said that he is forbearing in everything. I wish to show it in front of Ben Gong. But as soon as he went out, he slapped Ben Gong backhand. He was telling Ben Gong that he knew everything, but he didn't care. Anyway, he never really told Ben Gong Be his mother-in-law!"

The fourth elder brother brought Su Wei out of Chengqian Palace, counting the time, the Lord Long Live should have finished seeing the cabinet ministers.

Su Wei heard the conversation between the fourth elder brother and the noble concubine in Chengqian Palace just now, and he felt a little emotional, "I think the noble concubine has changed a lot. When she first entered the palace, she was a timid little girl. Now we talk about When it comes to major affairs in the court, they are all logical."

"Even if people from Tong Jia's family are not real, they grew up in Tong Guowei's house." The fourth elder brother lowered his head and straightened his cuffs. "Her relationship with Long Kedo is always a hidden danger."

"Didn't Longkodo spoil a concubine in his house for the past two years? He doesn't have many chances to meet the imperial concubine, right?"

"If it's someone who really cares about it, what will happen after more than ten years?" The fourth elder brother turned his head and glanced at Su Wei.

Eunuch Su silently rubbed to the side, suppressed his throat and said, "My eunuch will be 40 years old next year, so I don't want to eat your nasty tricks!"

Qianqing Palace

The fourth elder brother knelt on the ground, and Master Kangxi sat behind the desk and finished reading the memorial in his hand before taking off the crystal glasses with horn hooks on the bridge of his nose.

"Have you finished copying all the farm books?"

"I'm done copying," the fourth elder brother lowered his head.

"Do you feel bitter?"

"I don't feel bitter."

"The spring festival will be in two days. Since you have copied so many farm books, then tell me, what is the spring festival for?"

"Huang Ama knocks nine times in the Yanqing Hall every year to welcome the spring, praying for the common people."

"Pray for the people, but the well-being of the people has never been prayed for..."

Lord Kangxi picked up a few memorials on the table and threw them at the feet of the fourth elder brother, "Look, the Yellow River is flooded, but the northwest has been suffering from severe drought for years. The people have no land, houses, food and clothing, so what kind of happiness is there?" Pray?"
