Dressed as Su Peisheng

Kangxi 27 years

Sho San Institute

When Su Wei woke up, he was a little dazed. He was so sleepy last night that he fell asleep while talking to the fourth elder brother.When I opened my eyes early in the morning, my arm was pressed by myself and I almost lost consciousness.The fourth elder brother was lying on the side of the bed, patting his head with one hand, and was fast asleep.

In fact, it is morning. In modern times, many people may have just gone to bed. Since it is time to go to court, the fourth elder brother has to get up at Yin time every day, that is, three o'clock in the morning.After a long time, Su Wei has also formed a weird biological clock. When he is on duty at night, he must wake up before three o'clock the next day.

Blinking his eyes, Su Wei moved his neck a little, carefully placed the fourth brother's hand on the bed, stood up stiffly, and moved his numb limbs.

There were already noises outside, Su Wei stepped out lightly to see, the eunuchs on duty had already brought hot water, candles were lit in the study room, and they began to sweep the dust to prepare for the fourth elder brother's morning reading.

There is a clock in the inner hall. Su Wei glanced at it, entered the bedroom, and deliberately stepped heavily to give the fourth elder brother a buffer to wake up. After the person on the bed turned around, Su Wei stepped forward again and said in a low voice, " Master, it's Yin time, get up."

The fourth elder brother rubbed the pillow and was silent for a while, lying on his back with his eyes half-opened, and stretched.Su Wei went up to help the fourth elder brother sit up, first took a moist veil and applied it to his face to wake up.When the fourth elder brother woke up a little bit, Su Wei handed over the cloth shoes and asked the fourth elder brother to step on them casually, and went to the bucket behind the screen to solve his physical problems.

The eunuch on duty stood at the door of the bedroom at the right time, and when Su Wei yelled "Si elder brother is up..." they lined up and came in, carrying a basin, towel, comb, etc. to wait for the fourth elder brother to wash.

The fourth elder brother washed his face, rinsed his mouth, changed into casual clothes, and with the help of Su Wei, braided his hair before he finished washing.

At this time, the study room was already brightly lit, and the little eunuch had already cleaned it up, and the fourth elder brother sat down at the desk and began to read in the morning.An hour later, the eunuch who brought the meal came back from the dining room, and the meal was placed in the inner hall, and the fourth elder brother gave up his morning study.Generally speaking, the personal eunuch should change shift at this time.However, Su Wei was an exception. When it was his turn to be on duty at night, he would serve the fourth elder brother to finish his breakfast.

After breakfast, the fourth elder brother went to the yard to play a set of punches with the haha ​​beads who got up in the morning, then went into the house and changed into court clothes, and brought the servants with him to the gate of Qianqing.

In the first half of the 27th year of Kangxi, the entire imperial palace passed by in a blink of an eye in the sorrow of the empress dowager's death and the great change of Nalan Mingzhu's withdrawal from the cabinet.But for Su Wei and the fourth elder brother, the struggle of the former court and the strife of the harem seem to be too far away from them, but they don't know that the wheel of history is slowly approaching Zhengsan...

July

Lord Kangxi was on a tour outside the Great Wall, and this time only the elder brother and the third elder brother were accompanying him.

And the fourth elder brother has no time to worry about it at this time, because the imperial concubine is ill again.

This time the illness did not seem to be serious, but it took a long time, and there was no sign of recovery from the end of June to July, and the fourth elder brother began to enter the palace frequently to serve the sick.

At the end of July, the imperial concubine finally didn't have to stay in bed for a long time, and she became more energetic. The fourth elder brother's heart that had been hanging was finally relieved.

In the bedroom filled with the smell of traditional Chinese medicine, the fourth elder brother sat by the bed and recited a book, while the imperial concubine leaned on the bedside and nodded occasionally, and occasionally mentioned a word or two.

Huanyue came in with a tray, "Your Majesty, Fourth Elder Brother, the servant has made green plum and white pear soup, let's drink a bowl to cool off the heat."

The imperial concubine coughed twice, and put down the book, "Okay, add some ice cubes to Yinzhen's, the room is full of medicine, and it's so stuffy."

Huanyue smiled and handed the bowl to the imperial concubine and the fourth elder brother, "Don't worry, empress, the slaves have already been released. Yours is warm, and the fourth elder brother's is chilled."

The fourth elder brother picked up the bowl and took a sip. It was really cool, and he felt refreshed all over his body.

The imperial concubine looked at him and smiled, "You boys, you have strong firepower, and it's hard for you to be bored in this airtight house every day."

The fourth elder brother put down the bowl, "Don't say that, mother-in-law, this is what a son should do. As long as you can recover, it will be better than anything else."

The imperial concubine smiled slightly, "Emperor Niang knows you are filial, but you are getting older and you have more things to do. Now it seems that you have to let people into your backyard. After that, Empress Empress will have a headache again. , and the daughters-in-law will take care of them.”

The fourth elder brother lowered his head, "My son is still young, so don't worry about these things. Besides, the queen's mother is sick, so my son is not worried about letting others come."

The imperial concubine nodded the fourth elder brother's forehead, "What other people, who enter your backyard, are your people. If you don't worry about them, who else can you trust? Besides, you are not in a hurry, the Queen is in a hurry."

The fourth elder brother looked up at the imperial concubine, not quite understanding.

The imperial concubine leaned back and sat up straight, "You, Huang Ama, have to make the decision about Fujin, but you have to make two preparations in advance. The empress has already taken care of one for you, she is well-behaved and stable. , it may be a bit boring, but a character is not too smart, it is Song, the daughter of Jin Zhu's family who is in charge."

The fourth elder brother was a little stunned, and said in silence for a while, "It's all up to the emperor's mother to decide."

The imperial concubine smiled, "Then the empress will ask the mother to teach her first, and send it to you after the first month of next year."

On the way back to elder brother's place, Su Wei found that fourth elder brother was a little dazed.After almost hitting the wall for the third time, Su Wei finally couldn't bear it anymore, stepped forward and asked, "Master, what's wrong with you?"

The fourth elder brother lowered his head and walked for a while, then looked up at Su Wei, "Emperor Niang said, pick someone for me, and he will enter elder brother's office next year."

Su Wei staggered a few times, and comforted him a little vainly, "People are going to enter the courtyard of the third elder brother, and the master is only one year older than the third elder brother. It's time..."

The fourth elder brother didn't answer, and continued to walk forward. Su Wei didn't say anything else, and followed the fourth elder brother's pace...

In fact, the fourth prince's mood, Su Wei, can understand a little bit. It is somewhat like a graduate who has played in college for four years in modern times, and suddenly faces the embarrassment and loss of going to society.

For Su Wei, it's more complicated. The soft and sticky five-year-old elder brother will have a family in a blink of an eye.

Holy ride back to Luang in August

The emperor personally went to Chengqian Palace to visit the imperial concubine who had just recovered from a long illness.

On the couch, the emperor held the hand of the imperial concubine, "I have worked hard for you for so many years..."

The imperial concubine smiled, "It's nothing difficult, it's a concubine's blessing to be able to cook for the emperor's harem."

The emperor bowed his head and did not answer.

The imperial concubine brought a bowl of tea to the emperor, "Big elder brother Fujin is not far away from giving birth, and it seems Yinti is going to be a father now."

The emperor took a sip of tea and laughed twice, "Yes, time flies so fast."

"The concubine is thinking, the elder brother has children, so it's time to discuss the prince's marriage." The imperial concubine said softly.

The emperor put down the tea bowl, "Well, I have thought about this matter, but there is a candidate I am quite interested in."

"Oh?" The imperial concubine's eyes lit up, "Which family is the girl from?"

"The daughter of Shi Wenbing, the capital commander of the Han army in the Zhengbai Banner. The ancestor of the Shi family was originally a bannerman, with the surname Guerjia, and later moved to Liaodong to change the Han surname. Now I have promoted Shi Wenbing to be the capital commander of the Han army, and the Shi family has entered the palace. Later, in order to alleviate the conflict between Manchu and Han, he could do his best to win over the troops of the Eight Banners of Han Dynasty. In addition, Shi Wenbing once escorted him back to the palace. I have a good impression of this man, who is loyal and patriotic. His daughter is also a famous lady. I think Even the queen mother will not look down on it."

The imperial concubine nodded, "What the emperor likes must be good. Now that there is a candidate, when is the wedding date?"

The emperor sighed, "The crown prince is related to Guozuo, and the crown princess is also very unusual. She has to go to the palace for training. In addition, the prince's wedding is also a troublesome matter. There is no precedent for a prince to get married in the Qing Dynasty. Let the Ministry of Rites discuss it."

The imperial concubine lowered her head and thought for a moment, "The emperor is right... By the way, the concubine has been sick these days, and Yinzhen has been serving in front of the bed. The concubine wants to add two princesses to Yinzhen's backyard. What does the emperor think?" .”

"En..." The emperor leaned back on the couch, "Yinzhen is also the [-]th Chinese New Year, when the time comes, you can make a decision. As for this Fujin, wait until I find another good one."

The imperial concubine stood up and gave a slow blessing, "Your Majesty has worked hard."

In the evening, the emperor returned to Qianqing Palace.

The imperial concubine was sitting alone in the dark bedroom, Huanyue came in and lit a candle, "Your Majesty... the prince's marriage?"

The imperial concubine shook her head slowly, "It's impossible to finish the work in one hour and three quarters. I'm afraid that there will be many dreams in the night..."

"What do you mean, madam?"

The imperial concubine lowered her head and stroked her armor, "Go and tell Nanny Zhu, get ready, if there is a boy at my elder brother's place..."

Huanyue shivered, leaned over and said, "Your servant understands."

Yanxi Palace

Concubine Hui looked in the mirror, and Yin Liu hurried in, waved away the maids in the room, stood behind Concubine Hui and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that the emperor intends to marry the prince."

Concubine Hui paused, "Which family is the girl from?"

"I heard that she is the daughter of the commander of the Han army in the Zhengbai Banner."

Concubine Hui pulled out a gold hairpin, looked at the bronze mirror and was silent for a moment, "You send someone to Shenwumen to tell Zhu Ketu, and ask him to go to the Ministry of Rites and ask Martu to pass a message for me..."

In the blink of an eye, it was October, and everyone knew that Shi Shi, the daughter of Zhengbai Banner's capital commander of the Han army, was the prospective crown princess.However, the prince's marriage is far away. Ma Ertu, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, said that since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, there has been no rule for a prince's marriage. It needs to be re-established with Qin Tianjian referring to Ming history, and it may take a long time.

In mid-October, the elder brother Fujin went into labor.

Su Wei and the others could feel the tense atmosphere in the East No. [-] No. [-] No. [-] No. [-] No. [-] No. [-] No. [-] No. [-] No. [-] No. [-] No. [-] No. [-] No. [-] No. [-] No. [-] No. [-] No. [-] No. [-] No. [-] No. [-] No. [-] No. [-] No. [-] No. [-] No. [-] No. [-] No. [-] No. [-] No. [-] No. [-]

The elder brother was walking around anxiously outside. It stands to reason that Da Fujin's body has always been healthy, and he didn't have much pregnancy reaction when he was pregnant with the child, but this time he entered the delivery room and there was no movement for four consecutive hours.Hearing Da Fujin's moaning more and more weakly, the elder brother was very anxious.

Concubine Hui sat on the sedan chair and hurried to elder brother's place.

After seeing Zhongcui Palace, he was about to reach the main gate of elder brother's house, but the sedan chair was blocked by a pretty figure, Mrs. Hesheli.
