Blessed by God - Chapter 21

Back at the starting point, Kangxi was already sitting at the top. He was nearly forty years old and dressed in riding clothes, looking heroic and extraordinary.

There was a lot of prey piled up in front of the prince, and there was also a strong doe. He saw the three brothers coming over on horseback, glanced at the prey behind them with a smile, and sat down in his place.

“I send my greetings to Huang Ama,” the three elder brothers knelt down on one knee, and Yinyou heard the humbling sound behind him, followed by the angry voices of greetings from the guards.

“Get up,” Kangxi seemed to be in a good mood, and raised his voice slightly, “Fourth, seventh, and eighth, all of them seem to have done well today.” After finishing speaking, his eyes fell on Yinzhen who was kneeling on Yinzhen’s right. Yinyou, “Lao Qi, it’s your first time to hunt, how do you feel?”

“I am ashamed, I only hunted a few roe deer, foxes and rabbits.” Yinyou saluted first, and then said, “Tonight, I only hope that Huang Ama and the brothers will share some good things with you. Minister.”

Kangxi was not angry because of Yinyou’s unmotivated words, but said, “You are young and weak, and it is good to be able to hunt these prey. But if you want to ask for good things from me and your brothers, then it will not work.” .” After speaking, he laughed twice.

Seeing this, the prince guessed that Huang Ama Nian and Yinyou had foot problems. He was afraid that he would feel sad when he saw his brother’s prey, so he praised the seventh brother, so he said, “Huang Ama, the seventh brother usually practiced riding and shooting very well. Work hard, and your grades are good, but I feel that it is very good for the seventh brother to have achieved these results in his first hunting today, after all, he is still a bit unfamiliar with hunting live animals at the beginning.”

Yinyou knelt on the ground and did not move. At this time, there were many princes and ministers present, and the crown prince was helping him with good words, but he didn’t know what his intention was.

Kangxi nodded slightly, “Well, everyone get up, there is no need to pay attention to so many rules today.”

“Huang Ama, the eighth younger brother seems to have quite a lot of prey today,” the elder brother standing aside suddenly said.

Kangxi glanced at the elder brother, then his eyes slowly fell on the eighth elder brother, and nodded slowly, “Old eight is not bad.” The simple four words made people unable to hear the joy or anger.

idiot! The prince sneered in his heart, who didn’t know that the eighth elder brother was raised in front of Concubine Hui, the elder brother was clearly mocking the seventh elder brother as the elder brother of the eighth elder brother, but his grades were not as good as his younger brother. It’s a pity that Huang Ama has already said good things, and he will only make Huang Ama unhappy by saying this.

It really is a thing with well-developed limbs and a lack of brains.

Eighth Prince’s heart skipped a beat, but on this occasion, anything he said might displease Huang Ama, so he lowered his head and said nothing.

Yinyou was used as a reference under the eyelids of so many people, no matter how thick-skinned he was, it would be embarrassing, but the eldest elder brother who said this may not be able to please Kangxi, and even the eighth elder brother was unlucky. Really sacrificed him alone, happy princeling family.

“The fourth elder brother has grown up a lot recently.” Kangxi’s eyes fell on the deer hunted by the fourth elder brother, and he smiled again, “I will reward the fourth elder brother with a good horse, the seventh elder brother with a good bow… the eighth elder brother two fox skins .”

“My son, I thank Emperor Ama.”

The three of them stood aside, Yinyou glanced at the still calm Eighth Brother, and remembered a wise saying, not afraid of opponents like gods, but teammates like pigs.

Does the elder brother hate the eighth elder brother, or the eighth elder brother, or the eighth elder brother?

After returning to the tent and changing clothes, Yin Zhen entered the tent with a book in his hand.

“Fourth brother,” Yinyou came out from the inner tent, Yinzhen sat on the stool, feeling a little strange, walked up to Yinzhen’s side and sat down, “Fourth brother, why are you here?”

“I’m afraid you’ll be bored at night, so I brought you a travel note and flipped through it to pass the time.” Yinzhen put the book on the table, glanced at Yinyou’s newly changed clothes, and said calmly, “It’s windy at night, remember Wear an extra dress.”

“Brother, save it.” Yinyou took the book, it was a travelogue of a person from the previous dynasty, he smiled, “Thank you, fourth brother.”

“No need,” Yinzhen stood up and said, “I’m going back first, I’m going to have a bonfire to barbecue at night, and I’ll call you when the time comes.”

He walked two steps, and then suddenly thought, “By the way, Cheng’eniang was always ill last winter, this year you take back more of the furs I got, and make fur coats for Cheng’eniang, so that you won’t suffer from the cold in winter. ”

“It’s okay,” Yinyou accepted Yinzhen’s kindness, “After turning over Chun Erniang, she will be safe, and fourth brother, you still need to save some of your leather for yourself and De Erniang. What’s more, this year Huang Ama Maybe I have to point you to someone, but I have to leave some for the future fourth sister-in-law.”

Yinzhen clenched his hands hidden under the sleeve robe tightly, and then slowly loosened them. He managed to suppress the emotions in his heart, “It’s just a woman.”

Seeing that Yinzhen’s tone seemed to be a little off, Yinyou just thought that the other party didn’t like making such jokes, so he smiled and changed the subject, “Then I’ll wait for you to call me, fourth brother, in the afternoon.”

Yinzhen’s eyes glanced at Yinyou’s eyes and fair neck without any trace, he closed his eyes slightly, turned around and left the tent in response.

After Yinyou got up and sent Yinzhen out, he casually flipped through the book in his hand. The beginning of the chapter was to introduce the customs of various places, and there were some annotations made by the fourth elder brother. The corner of his eyes saw the word “one” in a certain sentence in the first volume, The above is circled thinly with a brush, and the next sentence of this sentence is to avoid it.

Is it safe to avoid it? Yinyou turned over the page with his index finger, poked lightly with his fingertips, only heard a sneer, and then hooked back, a small piece of paper was caught between his knuckles, he frowned in distress, and looked at the people not far away The **** said, “Take it well for the Lord, if you damage the place a little bit, it will be a waste of Brother Si’s heart.”

“Hey.” The little **** took the book with both hands and entered the inner room.

Did Fourth Brother think he would mess with Big Brother? Yinyou spread out his palms, the word “one” was pinched into a ball the size of a grain of rice, the fourth brother didn’t know himself well enough, for the elder brother, he never wanted to get close.

But this child really worked **** him, the eldest brother is like a father, so could it be that the fourth brother found something like fatherly love in himself? As an uncle, he is under a lot of pressure.

When Yinzhen came to call Yinyou, the sky was already dark, and with Yinzhen were the fifth and eighth elder brothers. Seeing the calm expressions of Yinzhen and Yinhu, Yinyou suddenly felt that Oxka was Children’s play is far worse than the acting skills of these elder brothers.

The four of them arrived at the place together, and several bonfires were lit in the middle, surrounded by some short tables, with futons beside the short tables, and some people sat cross-legged on the futons.

Yinyou found a suitable place to sit down, and when Kangxi arrived, he said some polite words, drank two glasses of wine, and then each of them dispersed to start the barbecue. Brothers, if you want to do it, you can also bake it yourself, or you don’t want to, there are eunuchs to serve you.

Yinyou found a pile of fires that were no longer hot, took the **** who was serving him, took some rabbit legs that had been peeled and cleaned, and some pieces of roe deer meat, first brushed a layer of sauce on these things, and walked slowly bake.

The **** serving behind him brought a complete set of things, all kinds of seasonings, sauces, small knives for cutting meat, and handed over whatever he wanted.

After the meat was roasted, he picked out the most beautiful color and asked the little **** to present it to Kangxi. Only then did Yinyou start to eat the meat with a small knife. The taste was not bad, but the fly in the ointment was that he wanted to be bolder Gnaw on the leg, give up because of the shame and attention of this behavior.

“Your Majesty, this is the barbecue presented by Seventh Elder Brother,” Li Dequan bowed in front of Kangxi with a plate of grilled meat that had already been sliced.

Kangxi tasted a slice, and it tasted good, nodded and said, “This meat is roasted well.” After speaking, he tasted another slice, “But Xiao Qi roasted it himself?”

Li Dequan replied after hearing the words, “Back to Lord Long Live, the slave just happened to pass by Brother Seven, it was indeed Brother Seven who baked it himself.”

Kangxi was very happy when he heard the words, so he rewarded Yinyou with a glass of wine and went down.

Yinzhen gave a portion of the roasted deer leg to Kangxi and Yinyou, and asked the slaves to roast some for each brother.

Sweeping his gaze around, seeing the leisurely and carefree seventh brother squatting beside a pile of fire, Yinzhen felt a little bit uninspired.

“Master, Brother Seven sent this to you from a servant,” Xiao Luzi brought two whole rabbit legs, but the sides of these two rabbit legs were a little burnt, and they smelled good.

“How do the people around Xiaoqi serve and roast Xiaoqi’s things like this?” Yinzhen’s face darkened, a little unhappy.

Xiao Luzi visually measured the distance between Seventh Brother and his master, and felt that Seventh Brother must not have heard what his master said just now, so he reassured and said, “Master, this rabbit leg was baked by Seventh Brother himself.” After finishing, he lowered his voice and said, “The ones in the hands of the other elder brothers are roasted by the slaves around the seventh elder brother.”

Yinzhen sliced ​​a piece of meat, then nodded, “It’s roasted very well. Although the appearance is a bit poor, the taste is good.”

Xiaoluzi silently backed away, he understood, really.

That night, Kangxi summoned Concubine De, who was accompanying him, and after the two talked for a while, Kangxi turned around and said, “This child, Yinzhen, seems to be making progress, please pay attention to this year’s show girl.”

After hearing this, Concubine De understood in her heart, and hurriedly said, “The concubine will save it.”

Seeing Concubine De’s face was calm, Kangxi added, “I heard that the daughter of Fei Yanggu’s family is pretty good, go and have a look when you have time.”

Fei Yanggu is a minister of the interior, and he can be regarded as the emperor’s favor. Concubine De’s heart is like a mirror, “The concubine thanked the emperor on Yinzhen’s behalf.” But I don’t know which concubine mentioned the daughter of Fei Yanggu’s family in front of the emperor. She got this good.

This daughter of Fei Yanggu’s family has long been favored by several concubines, and Concubine De has no intention of competing with the other empresses. Since the emperor said this, she will follow suit.
