Dressed as Su Peisheng

Kangxi 29 years

The emperor's personal conquest, all the elder brothers and the prince stayed in the cabinet all day, waiting for the front line to report.

In Zhengsan Institute, Li's family has become the new favourite. Compared with Song Gege, he has received more attention from the fourth elder brother.

As for Su Wei, who has been more obsessed with his size recently, in order to seize the last golden period of growth, he began to drink milk every day to supplement calcium.

At night, the fourth elder brother went to bed and was ready to rest. Su Wei asked the little eunuch to bring the footwashing water, and sat on the couch by himself, leaning on his head.

The fourth elder brother wrinkled his nose and sniffed left and right, and finally came to Su Wei's side, "Why do you smell milky?"

Su Wei was taken aback, raised his sleeves and smelled it, "Does it smell? Master forgive me, this slave wants to grow taller, and I've been drinking milk recently."

"Drinking milk will make you grow taller?" The fourth elder brother looked incomprehensible.

Su Wei lowered his head and pressed his legs, "The slave is five years older than the elder brother, and the elder brother is taller than the slave now. If the slave is not long, the master will despise the slave in the future."

The fourth elder brother squinted his eyes and knocked Su Wei's brain, "What are you thinking about all day long?"

Su Wei scratched his head, raised his sleeves and sniffed, "Why don't you go change your clothes?"

"No need," the fourth elder brother sighed and lay back on the pillow, "the milk smells good too."

Yanxi Palace

Concubine Hui was leaning on the couch to embroider patterns, and Yin Liu hurried in, "Your Majesty, there is news from Master Mingzhu that the Emperor is ill."

"Ill?" Concubine Hui raised her head, "What kind of illness is it? Is it serious?"

Yinliu shook her head, "Master Mingzhu didn't go into details in her letter, but said that she might not be able to conscript herself."

Concubine Hui put down the embroidery and thought for a moment, "You tell me to go down, the prince should make arrangements early, if the emperor returns to Luan, he will definitely invite the prince to pick him up."

Yinliu frowned slightly, "It's only been a few days since our people entered Yuqing Palace, if we act this time, we probably won't be able to keep them."

Concubine Hui smiled, "If you can't keep it, you won't be able to keep it, and if you leave it, it's not something that can do big things... If you want to shake the position of the crown prince, the three feet of ice must be buried early."

Royal Garden

Mrs. Li sat together with the elder brother Gege Guo and the third elder brother Gege Wanyan to enjoy the scenery.

Mrs. Guo picked up Mrs. Li's wrist and smiled coquettishly, "Hey, the texture of this bracelet is moist and cool to the touch, but it's a good thing."

Mrs. Li smiled, "This is a reward from the fourth elder brother. He said it is a high-quality Hetian jade with natural floating flowers."

Mrs. Guo shook her head and said with a long sigh, "You are so lucky. You have an elder brother who knows how to be compassionate and cherish jade, how is it like me—"

Wan Yan patted Guo lightly, "There are too many people here, don't talk nonsense."

Mrs. Guo gave a bitter smile, and Mrs. Wanyan said softly, "Don't always sigh, Da Fujin treats you very well. As concubines, having a good husband may not be better than having a good mistress. This pet It is not a good reputation for concubines to kill wives."

Mrs. Guo nodded, and Mrs. Li said from the sidelines, "Sister's words are indeed somewhat reasonable. But my sister still thinks that even though we are concubines, we should not be weak and bully blindly. In the end, if we want to live a good life, Getting your husband's favor is the key."

Wanyan smiled, but did not speak.

On the [-]th day of the seventh month, Sheng Jia returned to Luan, and summoned the Prince and San Age to pick him up at Gubeikou.

After the crown prince and the third elder brother led the army out of the palace, the fourth elder brother almost lived in the cabinet, inquiring about the battle situation on the border and the emperor's condition at any time.

Su Wei stayed with the fourth elder brother until July [-]th. Nian Xialing, who was a cabinet bachelor, had a lot of conversations with the fourth elder brother.

On the night of July [-]th, Su Wei was making beds in the side hall of the cabinet when he heard hurried footsteps outside.

"master?"

The fourth elder brother walked into the room with chaotic steps, first sat down at the table, and then sat down on the bed, his barely calm face could hardly stop the flustered eyes.Su Wei didn't dare to speak, and stood by the side until the clapper sounded.

The fourth elder brother stood up suddenly, startling Su Wei, "Clean up, let's go back to elder brother's place."

Yuqing Palace

The prince sat on the bed gloomily for a long time, and there were screams in the yard.

De Zhu knelt beside the bed, "My lord, it's all due to the negligence of the servants, and let those gangsters take advantage of it. You can hit me or scold me. Don't be sulky, what should you do if you burn yourself out?"

The prince closed his eyes and said in a cold voice, "This matter has nothing to do with you, it was done by those who aspired to be the crown prince. Auntie is right, no one in this huge harem should be underestimated."

De Zhu knelt and rubbed forward, grabbed the prince's cold hand, "Your Highness, the emperor has always loved you, and will not blame you for a small meal. Letting you go back to the palace first is also a momentary anger." Words. When the emperor comes back, if you show your filial piety, the emperor will definitely forgive you."

The prince opened his eyes, and reached out to caress Fu Dezhu's face, "I know, I have been the prince for more than ten years, and it wasn't the group of people who said they would pull it down."

De Zhu lowered his head, his face still pale, "Master, who do you think did this, is it the Palace of Yanxi Palace, or the third elder brother?"

The prince raised his head and looked out the window, "No matter who did it, it will never stop in the days to come."

Zhongcui Palace

Concubine Wen Xi sat in front of the mirror, and Ruyu gently combed her long hair, "Madam, the prince's affairs have nothing to do with us, the prince is impetuous."

Concubine Wen Xi smiled coldly, "The prince has been in the East Palace for more than ten years, and he has been by the emperor's side since he was a child. No elder brother understands the emperor's temperament better than the prince. Can he be impetuous when the emperor returns due to illness? When Ama was sick, he was full of fish and meat, and he didn't look worried?"

Ruyu's hand paused, "Your Majesty is saying that someone misled the crown prince?"

Concubine Wen Xi looked at the mirror coldly, "I also have a son. Before Elder Brother Shi grows up, even if I can't compare to the imperial concubine's lightning methods, I will risk my life to save the prince."

Sho San Institute

The fourth elder brother sat by the bed until dawn, and Su Wei sat on the couch, leaning on the fourth elder brother's legs and fell asleep.

The sleepless night was spent in the morning sunshine, the fourth elder brother sighed long.

Su Wei sat upright, rubbed his eyes, saw that the fourth elder brother's expression softened, and asked in a low voice, "Master, what happened last night?"

The fourth elder brother bowed his head in silence for a moment and said, "Last night, the prince returned to the palace."

"What about the emperor?"

"Huang Ama is still recuperating outside the customs, the prince... was sent back first."

Su Wei's heart skipped a beat, "Send him back first? Why?"

The fourth elder brother pursed his lips, "I heard from my servant that Huang Ama is sick, but the prince is eating and drinking in the imperial tent, without any signs of worry. Huang Ama got angry and drove the prince back."

Su Wei didn't speak. This process sounds simple, but when you think about it, there are many problems.

The fourth elder brother sighed, "Second elder brother was conferred the crown prince not long after he was born, and he has been extraordinarily honored since he was a child. Even the elder brother would kneel twice and kowtow six times when he saw him. Over the years, the status of the prince is like It's a big mountain pressing down on the brothers. But last night...for a moment, in my heart, it seemed that something was missing, and something was too much..."

Su Wei hugged his knees, and his heart was dark. Although he didn't know all about the history of the Kangxi Dynasty, he still vaguely remembered that the so-called nine sons seized the heir apparent just after the crown prince was deposed.

At the end of July, when Sheng Jia returned to the palace, the emperor did not blame the prince too much, and the matter outside the customs seemed to be left alone.However, Yuqing Palace killed a bunch of servants one after another, including eunuchs and court ladies.

Xianfu Palace

Concubine Rong leaned against the head of the bed, turned her head to the inside of the bed, and didn't even look at the third elder brother who was kneeling in the middle of the room.

"Er Niang..." Yinzhi didn't know how to say it, so he could only kneel silently.

Half a moment later, Concubine Rong said softly, "Go back, and don't come here again. When you grow up, you can handle your own affairs."

"Er Niang!" Yinzhi walked to the bedside on his knees, grabbing Concubine Rong's hand, "Er Niang, the prince's business was really not designed by his son, it was his own servant who served the prince—"

"His own slave?" Concubine Rong turned her head, her pale face, her eyes were bright red, "You think Er Niang is a fool? Don't forget, you were born by me! You can't hide the little Jiujiu in your stomach." Can others hide it from me? Yes, you can't plan this matter, you're not that capable, and you're not that bold! But you definitely participated behind the scenes, you stood by and watched, and even... Added insult to injury!"

"Emiang," Yinzhi put his head on the ground, "my son was just confused for a while, and didn't persuade the prince in time, and my son didn't fall into trouble..."

Concubine Rong looked at the third elder brother who kowtowed again and again, and sighed deeply, "Forget it, you have grown up, and Er Niang's words can't change your mind. Go back and let Er Niang be quiet."

Yinzhi raised his head, looked at Concubine Rong's paler face, and stood up slowly, "Yes, Er Niang, rest more, my son will come to see you in two days."

Concubine Rong looked at the bed curtain silently, and the third elder brother lowered his head and walked towards the door, "Yinzhi!" Concubine Rong said suddenly, and third elder brother turned his head, Concubine Rong was still looking at the bed, with a deep voice, "You remember?" , even if one day the crown prince is no longer around, you will never be the one to take that position. If you really have some filial piety, let it be enough."

Yinzhi didn't answer, and took one last look at Yuehuang's bed curtain, then turned and walked out of the room.

First day of August

Zhongcui Palace

All the concubines visited the noble concubine, and Concubine Rong, who had been absent for two months in a row, also came this time, and blessed the noble concubine Wen Xi in the middle of the room.

Concubine Wen Xi hurriedly asked the maid to help her up, "You are not in good health, why bother to be so polite, please sit down."

Concubine Rong nodded slightly and sat on the chair.

Concubine Hui looked at Concubine Rong and smiled slightly, "My younger sister looks much better, I think it's because the third elder brother has returned to her side, and she is refreshed."

"Concubine Hui was joking, I have been ill for several months, and my third elder brother has not been away for a long time. Now the illness has passed, thanks to the blessings of the emperor and the concubine." Concubine Rong said softly .

Concubine Cheng covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled, "It is said that people are in high spirits on happy occasions. It is such an honor for the three princes to accompany the Holy One back to Luan alone."

Concubine Yi looked at Concubine Cheng coldly, and smiled contemptuously, "That's right, this is the third elder brother who has always been smart and prudent. If someone who is in poor health is replaced, it will not be the same situation."

"You!" Concubine Cheng glared at Concubine Yi, but did not dare to refute.

"Okay," said Concubine Wen Xi softly, "Concubine Rong's recovery is a good thing. Now that the emperor has just returned to the palace, our harem will be more stable, and there will be no troubles."

Concubine Hui smiled and said, "Your Majesty is right, but my concubine heard that Yuqing Palace killed many slaves, even the maids of the Eight Banners. Now the border is fighting, and the emperor is not in good health. I don't know why the bloodshed is happening?"

Concubine Wen Xi picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, "It's just a few servants, it's already a capital offense to make the prince unhappy, if you kill him, you kill him, what's the reason?"

Sitting at the door, Hesheli sneered coldly, "Our concubine Hui is the only one in the palace who is kind-hearted, and the servants who love her have gone to the prince's side?"

Concubine Hui looked at Hesheli with a cold expression.

Concubine Wen Xi put down the tea bowl and said, "Okay, what a big deal. But this palace reminds me that the crown prince is not too young, and the crown princess won't be able to enter the door for a while. It's okay to enter a few more spaces." of."

Concubine De smiled softly, "Your Majesty has a crush?"

Concubine Wen Xi nodded slightly, "That's right, I have taken a fancy to the daughter of Qingche Captain Shu Deku, and the daughter of Yunqi Captain Lei Wen, both belong to Li Jia's family, and they are all dignified. Xianshu, a well-known lady of every family."

"This..." Concubine Hui and Concubine Cheng glanced at each other, and Concubine Hui said, "Both daughters are full of Eight Banners, and their fathers both carry titles. Wouldn't it be too much for them to enter the palace together to be princesses?" Make it public, after all, the princess is still under the banner of the Han army."

Concubine Wen Xi smiled, "Concubine Hui is worrying too much. It is their blessing to be able to be a prince for the prince. If they are lucky enough to have a man and a half woman, then the prince concubine will come in and be sealed as a side Fujin. As for the identity and background? , the father of the Crown Princess is the commander of the Han army in Zhengbai Banner, an official with real power in his hands. The fathers of the two families of Li Jia only have titles in name only, and they cannot suppress the Crown Princess.”

"But——" Concubine Hui wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Hesheli, "The imperial concubine is thoughtful, and the emperor must be very satisfied. The prince's matter is related to Guozuo, and Gege should be the one no matter how noble they are." .”

Concubine Wen Xi smiled and nodded, Concubine Hui did not speak any more.

On the second day of August, a military report came from the front line. At the end of July, Galdan led his troops to go south and entered Ulan Butong.

The Galdan troops "searched for deep moats in the mountains and forests, and built camps against the dangers". They deployed tens of thousands of camels in the forests on the mountains, tied the hooves of the camels to lie on the ground, added boxes on the backs of the camels, and then covered them with felt soaked in water. On the stack of boxes, a line of defense is formed around Ulan Butong Mountain, which is called "Camel City".

Prince Yu Fuquan led the army to confront each other.He led the army to set up camp 40 miles away from Ulan Butong. There were [-] camps, the company camp was more than [-] miles, and the width was more than [-] miles.

On the third day of the eighth lunar month, the army reported that the two armies were at war with Tuocheng. Prince Yu led a surprise attack and attracted most of the troops.The right wing was blocked by the swamp on the river bank, and the left wing successfully broke through.However, Tong Guogang, the general of the left wing, the commander of the capital of Xianghuang Banner and the minister of the guards, took personal risks and led his troops to attack. He was shot by enemy muskets in the dense forest and died.Tong Guowei, his younger brother, Minister of State and Political Affairs, continued to lead the army forward, found out the location of the artillery battalion of our army, and fought back and forth with Prince Yu, defeating Galdan.

Galdan was defeated, the Holy One was overjoyed for a while, and the elder brothers who followed the military newspaper were also very happy.Tong Guogang died bravely, and Tong Jia's family received rewards one after another.

However, the next day, with the arrival of a new round of military reports, there was also a secret performance. After reading it twice, the emperor was furious.

Evening

Yanxi Palace

A young eunuch hurried out from the inner hall, Yin Liu stood beside Concubine Hui, and chased away the maid who was about to come in to light the lamp.

Concubine Hui sat in the dark with a sullen face.

Yinliu thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, Big Brother is still young after all."

Concubine Hui sighed heavily, "It's because I'm not good at it, I've given you all kinds of instructions and made all kinds of arrangements, but I still haven't restrained Yinti's aggressive temperament."

Yinliu walked up to Concubine Hui, and said softly, "Your Majesty, it may not be all bad things for elder brother to leapfrog to play Prince Yu, at least we can see the emperor's attitude towards elder brother. Besides, elder brother Just young and vigorous, the emperor may not take it to heart."

Concubine Hui closed her eyes, rubbed the center of her brows, "I hope so..."

Sho San Institute

When the fourth elder brother came back from the cabinet in the evening, he was a little limping, and his trousers were covered with dust.

Wang Chaoqing, who was on duty, told Su Wei that all the elder brothers knelt in front of the imperial driver for more than an hour today, and he was so scared that he almost peed his pants.

Su Wei was a little worried, so he shifted shifts with Wang Chaoqing to take care of the fourth elder brother to take a bath, "Master, this servant will add some hot water for you to drive away the coldness in your knees."

"Well," the fourth elder brother changed into pajamas and sat on the bed, watching Su Wei test the water temperature with the kettle. "Today, Huang Ama was very angry. In addition to Prince Yu's missed opportunity to let Galdan run away, he also got a secret letter from his elder brother."

"Secret playing?" Su Wei didn't quite understand.

The fourth elder brother took a breath, stood up and asked Su Wei to undress him, "Eldest elder brother is going out with Prince Yu this time. From the perspective of military discipline, he can't skip the rank. But the eldest elder brother went to the emperor privately." Zhezi, it’s not good for Prince Yu to lead the army, the generals are at odds and other issues. Originally, Huang Ama was very angry when Galdan fled, and now he is even more angry. We knelt for more than an hour, but it was useless.”

Su Wei scratched his head, "I don't understand these things, but I think that the master wants the people below to obey the rules, and the emperor probably does the same."

"Abiding by the rules?" The fourth elder brother looked up and thought about it. Su Wei had already untied the fourth elder brother's belt at this time, his pants slipped down, and a dick popped out. Su Wei shivered and lowered his head.

The fourth elder brother didn't notice Su Wei's strangeness, and stepped into the bathtub.

Su Wei shrugged his head and wiped the fourth brother's back, but his heart was extremely flustered.Ever since there was an abnormality in that part of him, his psychology seems to be abnormal.Since when, an inexplicable impulse began to rush left and right in the body.Looking at the fourth elder brother whom he has served since he was a child, he sometimes blushes and his heart beats.What kind of rhythm is this? Even if he has that thing and lust, he should still react to the little girl.In his previous life, when he took a shower in the university bathroom, he didn't feel anything.

"What are you doing?" The fourth elder brother suddenly uttered a voice, startling Su Wei, who was thinking wildly, "What are you thinking, you always wipe one place, you can see it is red!"

"Ah?" Su Wei was taken aback, only to see that the back of the fourth elder brother was really red, and he quickly knelt down and said, "Master atones, slave... slave didn't sleep well."

The fourth elder brother lay down by the bathtub and looked at him for a while, "Get up, it's always been weird lately. If you're so tired, don't always run to the middle yard from now on, just stay by my side honestly, such a big front yard Isn't that enough for you to shake?"

"Oh," Su Wei responded blankly, stood up and continued to rub the back of the fourth elder brother, but his mind was in a trance again, middle court?When did he always run to the middle courtyard?Isn't it just the shuttlecock?

The next day, the emperor issued an order to reprimand Prince Yu and all the leading generals for being timid and afraid of getting into trouble, and for missing a good opportunity, so that the Galdan tribe fled back to Mobei, and they will deal with it on the day they return to the army.The eldest elder brother Yinti, who was instigated by a traitor, leapfrogged to the top, and was at odds with Fuquan, so he is now recalled to the capital.

Royal Garden

With the support of eldest brother Fujin, Concubine Hui walked slowly, "You, don't think too much, I also blame him for his recklessness. The emperor always thinks about the relationship between father and son, so he won't overdo it." Blame."

Da Fujin lowered his head, "Daughter-in-law knows, but daughter-in-law is always worried. Eldest brother has always been proud and arrogant, and being recalled to Beijing this time, I'm afraid he will feel quite unhappy."

Concubine Hui smiled, "It's a good thing to be unhappy. If you don't hit the south wall a few times, you won't learn to be good. When he comes back, you can persuade him a lot, and put etiquette first in everything. Prince Yu is the elder brother of the Holy One, even if he is expensive As the eldest son of the emperor, he can't be disrespectful. What's more, he is going out with the army, and the military discipline is like a mountain, so he can't do it in vain."

"Daughter-in-law knows," Da Fujin lowered his head, "Daughter-in-law must persuade elder brother more."

"En," Concubine Hui nodded in relief, and the two of them turned around the gazebo, but met several women head-on.The concubine Hesheli, the elder brother Gege Guo, and the fourth elder brother Gege Li.

The two princesses saluted Concubine Hui, but Hesheli sat on the stone bench without moving.Under Da Fujin's piercing gaze, Mrs. Guo shrank her neck and stood behind Da Fujin.

Hesheli smiled, "Your Majesty is so lenient. Your Majesty is not worried about this elder brother being recalled by the emperor's decree?"

"There's nothing to worry about. Eldest brother is young and inexperienced. He's just full of passion, so it's inevitable that he won't be considerate. There's no such thing as disloyalty or filial piety, and he can justify it wherever he goes."

Mrs. Hesheli snorted coldly and stopped answering. Concubine Hui turned her head to look at Mrs. Li, "Are you Ge Ge of the fourth elder brother?"

"Yes, my concubine is Mrs. Li," Mrs. Li said with a bow.

Concubine Hui nodded, "It's good to serve the fourth elder brother, don't get distracted and follow the wrong person, you have learned a whole set of mistakes."

Mrs. Li was taken aback for a moment, then slowly bowed down and said, "Yes."

The remnants of Galdan fled back to Mobei the most, and the battle of Ulan Butong ended.

The army was being repaired outside the pass, and the recalled elder brother was the first to return to the palace.

Filled with unwillingness, Yinti returned to the palace and ran directly to Qianqing Palace, stating that everything he played was the truth.The leading troops and generals were at odds, and Prince Yu Fuquan was greedy for life and fear of death, delaying the military situation, which eventually caused heavy losses to the Qing army, and Galdan fled back to Mobei at night.

The emperor had a gloomy face, and after listening to Yinti finish playing one by one, he was silent for a while and said, "Okay, since you insist on your own opinion, then I will believe you. When Fuquan returns to Beijing, let him confront you one by one. False, I will punish you!"

Yinti was startled, and pressed his lips tightly, but in the end, he knelt down resolutely and said, "My son has taken orders, and is willing to confront Prince Yu."

Yuqing Palace

De Zhu took off his underwear, stepped into the bathtub, and took a bath with the prince.

The crown prince put his arms around him and gently stroked his cheeks. De Zhu raised his head slightly and said, "Your Highness, what should we do about Eldest Brother? Do you want to use your hands and feet to trip Eldest Brother once?"

The prince slowly shook his head, "You are too naive, Huang Ama didn't really want to deal with eldest brother. Confronting Prince Yu is just to find a way for eldest brother to leapfrog. Otherwise, just by provoking the relationship between the generals, Ignoring a few rules of military discipline is enough for the elder brother to drink a few pots."

Dezhu was close to the crown prince's neck, breathing like blue, "But the emperor said that if the confrontation is not true, he will punish the elder brother. The slaves heard that the elder brother often kept military orders in the military camp and violated the audience. The emperor said in a golden way , big brother may not be able to escape."

The prince smiled, and kissed Dezhu's forehead lightly, "Fool, who is Prince Yu? He is Huang Ama's elder brother, and he understands Huang Ama's thoughts best. With Huang Ama's words, Da aunt Even if there are all kinds of problems, Prince Yu will bear them all."

De Zhu sat up and rested his hands on the crown prince's chest, "My lord, whether Prince Yu will take it or not doesn't necessarily depend on the emperor's will. In the past few years, the elder brother has been pressing every step of the way, and you have to give in every step of the way. Now that the hands of Yanxi Palace have reached into Yuqing Palace, do you still want to turn a blind eye?"

The prince looked at De Zhu with starry eyes, and said after a while, "De Zhu, you don't understand. It's not that I don't want to fight, it's that I can't fight. In this position, there are things that others have done because of jealousy. I don’t feel comfortable in the room; I did it, that is, to commit chaos and seek the throne.”

"Master..." De Zhu called out in a low voice, leaning forward

The night is getting darker, deep in the Yuqing Palace, there is a long chanting amidst the surging water...
