Yongzheng three years

July, Royal Garden

Into the summer heat, Nian Guifei's health is not very good.

After repeated treatments by several imperial physicians, Concubine Nian barely regained her spirits.

Picking a fairly cool day, Ling Xi helped Concubine Nian to stroll in the Imperial Garden.

"Long Live Lord told you to send you to Yuanmingyuan to escape the summer heat. You are not in good health. You should listen to Long Live Lord."

Concubine Nian shook her fan and smiled softly, "The Old Summer Palace is still being repaired, and the empress hasn't gone yet. How can I get out of that? Besides, the second brother is going back to Beijing to report on his duties soon. Isn’t it the same wherever you live?”

"Second master has merit, so don't think about it too much..."

Ling Xi comforted in a low voice, and Concubine Nian just shook her head.

"Hey, the imperial concubine is here, is your health better?"

In the pavilion on the side, Concubine Xi and Concubine Ning, who were sitting and talking, stood up.

The two parties saluted, and Concubine Nian also sat down in the pavilion.

"Your Majesty has been ill for so long this time, did the imperial doctor say anything?" Concubine Ning asked softly.

"What else can I say," the imperial concubine sighed softly, "I'm basically injured, and I'm afraid I'll have to stay in bed often in the future."

"Oh, let the imperial physician take good care of it, it will always be fine," Concubine Xi followed suit.

"However, General Nian is going back to Beijing this time. If my mother sees her family, she will recover quickly from this illness."

The imperial concubine smiled, did not answer, and started chatting with the two about the scenery of the imperial garden.

Coincidentally, while chatting happily here, another group of people came over there.

The queen is at the head, followed by brother Hongyun, followed by a string of court ladies and eunuchs.

"The concubine sees the queen."

The three ladies in the pavilion hurried to the gravel road to salute and say hello.

The queen stopped in her tracks, and her sizing eyes shifted from Concubine Nian to Concubine Xi, and from Concubine Xi back to Concubine Nian.

"Has the imperial concubine recovered?"

"Thank you Queen for your concern, my concubine is fine."

"That's good," the queen's tone was extraordinarily cold, "General Nian is going back to Beijing, and the imperial concubine's illness is also cured. I think everyone in the palace should be happy."

These words were jarring, but the imperial concubine didn't reply, she just lowered her head silently.

"Concubine Xi, Hongpan has been playing too much lately, you, as a mother, should be more disciplined."

Concubine Xi raised her brows and said with a smile, "Hongpan never likes to work hard, and the concubine can't do anything about it. Anyway, the emperor is worried about homework, so the concubine doesn't need to work so hard."

Concubine Ning was listening, and secretly pulled Concubine Xi's cuff, but Concubine Xi didn't care about the Queen's face at all.

"That's fine," the queen turned around and continued walking forward with Hong Yun, "Anyway, the emperor knows the child's nature best. If it's like the elder brother of the previous dynasty, what if the powerful officials support it? "

Concubine Xi's complexion changed, she was about to speak when Concubine Ning pulled her away again.

The queen took Hong Yun away, and Concubine Nian turned her head and said with an apologetic smile, "It's my palace that has implicated the two of you."

"This is not just about the imperial concubine and empress." Concubine Xi barely suppressed her anger, "The concubines are still stewing donkey-hide gelatin in the palace, so they won't accompany the empress to talk."

The imperial concubine nodded, Concubine Ning followed suit, and left.

Niu Hulu became angry, Shiyue coaxed her all the way, and she was almost at the gate of the palace, and then the anger subsided.

"This is seeing me and the imperial concubine standing together, I'm afraid that the Nian family will support Hongpan in the future."

Niu Hulu snorted fiercely, "She's like a pile of sun-dried logs right now, she'll catch fire if she jumps a little bit. I didn't even look at this full harem, except her, who is like a fighting cock every day! "

"Okay," Shiyue pulled Niu Hulu's hand, "the empress is not a ruthless person who likes to fight openly and secretly. She just values ​​her status too much, and brother Hongyun's future too much. We are in Qian Mansion We've been together for so many years, hasn't the queen always been very transparent and tolerant in other matters?"

"You said it too, that's something else. But now that the harem is full, what other things can there be?"

Niu Hulu sighed, "How long has the turmoil of the previous dynasty been stable? In the days to come, we are afraid that there will be no peace..."

After saying goodbye to Niu Hulu, Shiyue returned to her Yanxi Palace.

"Doctor Cheng is here, I've been waiting for you for a while." The little eunuch came to report.

Shi Yue quickly took a few steps and entered the inner hall.

"My minister sends my respects to Concubine Ning,"

Cheng Bin is now a prominent figure in the Imperial Hospital. His master is an imperial physician appointed by the emperor, and no one in the Imperial Hospital dares to neglect him.

"Get up quickly, there is no one else here," Shiyue smiled and sat down on the soft couch.

"I have nothing to do, I just asked you to come into the palace to talk."

Cheng Bin smiled, and took out the pulse pillow from the medicine box, "Your Majesty's health has improved a lot recently, and I am also happy."

"It's thanks to you taking good care of me," Shiyue stretched out her wrist, watching Cheng Bin diagnose her pulse.

"I heard that the judge from the right court of Taiyuan Hospital intends to tell you about his youngest daughter?"

Cheng Bin was taken aback for a moment, raised his head, and lowered it again, "It's the court's judgment of love."

Shiyue raised her eyebrows, tilted her head slightly and said, "You are, you didn't agree?"

Cheng Bin didn't answer, and withdrew his hand to check the pulse, "Your Majesty still has some spleen deficiency, and I will prescribe some medicinal food for your Majesty."

"Cheng Bin..."

"Your Majesty, don't think too much," Cheng Bin stood up and forced a smile, "I just want to learn more about medical skills, and I don't want to start a family yet."

Only then did Shiyue feel that she was really reckless. She wanted to apologize, but she didn't know how to say it.

"Weichen still has to go to the concubine's place, and someone will bring the recipe later."

Cheng Bin saluted and left.

July [-]th,

The street of Longfu Temple was full of small stalls, and Su Dagong, who rarely came out of the palace, was looking for snacks everywhere.

Xiao Yingzi was busy in the Old Summer Palace recently, and Qi Xi'er was always by Su Wei's side.

"Master, don't go too fast, the guards behind won't be able to keep up."

"It's okay, it's okay, there are so many people."

Su Wei squeezed out of the crowd and walked to the sugar blowing man's stall on the other side of the road.

There was a lot of people on both sides of the street, and the hawkers kept shouting. Eunuch Su only had food in his eyes, and he didn't hear anything useful in his ears.

Until a horse neighed, the crowd suddenly exploded.

"Master!"

Su Wei raised his head slowly. A tall horse had passed through the crowd and came straight towards him.

"careful!"

At the critical moment, before Bayan and other guards arrived, Qi Xier rushed over like a cannonball!

With huge inertia, he knocked Eunuch Su and the people behind him to the other side of the street.

"I rely on!"

There was a "boom" on his back, and Su Wei's eyes went dark, and he almost fainted.

"Eunuch Su!"

Only then did Bayan's group rush over and help him up in a hurry.

"Catch me back!"

Su Gonggong was angry from the heart, "at the feet of the emperor, if you dare to ride a horse in the busy city, you will die!"

"Yes."

Just as he was saying this, three or four horses followed, also because there were so many people on the street that they couldn't move, and the one in front couldn't go very far, and was stopped by the imperial guards.

This group of people was also daring, and they didn't panic at all when they bumped into someone. They grabbed the reins of the horse and sat on the horse with their heads held high.

The leader with a fat body, a round face, and a smile at the corner of his mouth, looked at Su Wei, who was still supporting his waist by the roadside, and said, "It's a coincidence that we bumped into your lord, but we have errands, so we have to."

With that said, he gestured to the people behind him.

It looked like the attendant was digging into his cuff, and unexpectedly threw out an ingot of gold.

The gold rolled on the ground with a grunt, and there was a commotion in the crowd.

Su Wei just wanted to lower his head to see how big it was, but Qi Xier took a step forward and kicked the gold ingot away.

Strange to say, the flying gold ingot hit the leader's horse's leg directly.

I don't know how much strength I used, but the horse, which looked like a good horse for thousands of miles, raised its hooves on the spot and threw the person on the horse off.

"Ha ha……"

There was a burst of laughter in the crowd, and now those few arrogant people couldn't stay on the horse.

They got off the horse one after another, some went to help the one who fell worse than Su Wei, some even rolled up their sleeves, planning to do it.

"Wait, wait a minute!"

"The general hasn't entered Beijing yet, so it's not appropriate to publicize..."

The man who was thrown off the horse was still a little rational, suppressed his accomplice, limped forward, pointed at Su Wei's nose and said, "Your Excellency seems to be a person with status, but you shouldn't have offended me today." The person I provoked. Do you dare to report your name? Let's discuss it later!"

When Grandpa Su heard the phrase "general", the corner of his mouth curled up, he took a step forward, and lowered his voice, "There's no need to talk about it in the future, go back and ask your young general!"

The leader was startled immediately, and before he had time to ask again, he heard the person next to him say quietly, "His servant bumped into the emperor's servant, what does he want to do?"

At noon, the Hall of Mental Cultivation

"Li Weijun's excerpt," Prince Yi handed the memorial to Prince Xun, "Participate in Nian Gengyao's acceptance of Zhao Zhiyuan's 20 taels of silver."

"Didn't Li Weijun be recommended by Nian Gengyao back then?"

Prince Xun felt it was absurd, "Although I was still at the border at that time, I also heard that Nian Gengyao impeached Zhao Zhiyuan many times in order to promote Li Weijun. How did this turn around, black became white?"

Prince Yi glanced at Lord Yongzheng, who was buried in the desk, and smiled slightly, "Brother Huang let me get in touch with Li Weijun early in the morning. After Li Weijun's first wife passed away, he insisted on helping a concubine upright despite the objections of his family members. The concubine is Nian Gengyao's most trusted housekeeper and Wei Zhiyao's goddaughter."

Prince Xun took a deep breath and frowned.

Prince Yi continued, "This kind of relationship that is neither far nor near is naturally unreliable. After Nian Gengyao received the money, he must help Zhao Zhiyuan return to office. Li Weijun's term of office is not long, can he not Are you in a hurry?"

"If you get together because of profit, you must also disperse because of profit," Master Yongzheng said, and the two younger brothers looked at him.

"In the past few years, I haven't mentioned Nian Gengyao less. Although I know that he is ambitious, I really cherish his ability to lead troops in battle. It's a pity that he didn't understand my intentions in the end."

"Nian Gengyao's influence in Sichuan and Shaanxi is getting stronger and stronger. He keeps cultivating his confidants and suppresses those who refuse to bow to him. If he continues to indulge him, something serious may happen." Prince Yi said seriously.

"Brother Thirteen is right. Nian Gengyao began to rule out dissidents when the first emperor. When I was at the border, he restrained himself. Now that I am returning to Beijing, I am afraid that no one in the army can do it except Yue Zhongqi." Confront him again." Prince Xun said bluntly.

"What do you think of Yue Zhongqi?" Master Yongzheng asked.

"Yue Zhongqi is different from Nian Gengyao. He is not a person who loves power and wealth. His favorite thing in life is probably studying the art of war and leading troops to fight. Nian Gengyao has always admired him very much, but he has nothing to do with Nian Gengyao. Come on, except for military orders, he doesn't like to talk to Nian Gengyao at other times."

Master Yongzheng nodded slightly, and there was a sudden sound of slightly messy footsteps outside the door.

Zhang Bao lifted the curtain and came in, glanced at the two princes, hurried to Yongzheng's side, and whispered something in his ear.Master Yongzheng's expression changed immediately.

Prince Xun was still a little strange, turned to look at Prince Yi, Prince Yi shook his head at him.

"Brother Huang, the two ministers and younger brothers are leaving first."

"Go," Lord Yongzheng didn't stop, Prince Yi dragged the bewildered Prince Xun out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

The sleeping hall behind the Hall of Mental Cultivation

Before Lord Yongzheng stepped into the door, there was a series of voices saying, "It hurts, it hurts!"

Master Yongzheng's heart tightened, and he hurried in.

Grandpa Su was lying on the bed, his back was bare, and his back was covered with bruises.

"what happened?!!"

Master Yongzheng shouted and asked, Bayan quickly knelt down and said, "It's because the servants were careless and didn't take good care of Eunuch Su."

"Don't blame Bayan and the others!"

Eunuch Su on the bed turned his head, "It's someone from Nian Gengyao's house! Riding a horse on the street in the downtown area, if it wasn't for Qi Xier's quick reaction, someone would have almost died!"

Master Yongzheng's face darkened again and again, but finally suppressed his anger and sat on the side of the bed, "Call Ding Qi into the palace, you all go down."

"Yes," Bayan wiped the sweat from his forehead, and walked out of the palace with Qi Xi'er.

"Hey, Qixi'er, you're really good."

Recalling the scene on the street just now, Bayan grabbed Qi Xi'er and said, "Teach me another day, how did you kick that ingot of gold?"

With an innocent face, Qi Xier blinked her pretty eyes and said, "I just kicked it randomly. I was afraid that my master would pick it up. There were so many people looking at it, it was too embarrassing."

The author has something to say: Qi Xier knows his master very well~
