Blessed by God - Chapter 23
After leaving the Qianqing Palace, the prince put Yinyou on the shoulder with a smile, “Seventh brother, where did you hide the rabbit meat?” Seeing the other party’s face blushing, the prince was psychologically satisfied, but sometimes the pressure was too great , always have some fun.
“Brother Prince,” Yinyou buried his head, lamenting in his heart, if he could go back to the modern age, the little golden man would definitely be able to take it softly. Who can have a modern actor’s face be as red as he wants, or as white as he wants? So in the harem, acting skills are a life-saving skill, and it’s not in vain that he has been practicing this hard work since he was born.
After the elder brother and the third elder brother left the Qianqing Palace, they looked at Yinyou as if they were looking at trash. How could this virtuous emperor, Ama, trust him to do things in the future?
Seeing that Yinyou wanted to bury himself in the ground, the prince patted Yinyou’s head contentedly, looking like a good brother, “Seventh brother, second brother is joking with you, don’t do such stupid things in the future “Although this seventh brother is useless, it’s not bad to come and have fun, no wonder he was so stupid last time that he wanted to leave for the fourth brother’s maid.
The prince teased Yinyou, but Yinzhen remained silent, feeling a little distressed in his heart. He knew that the seventh brother was not really stupid, but could only pretend to be stupid. After all these years, most people in the palace actually regarded the seventh brother as a mediocre person. Only I know how transparent and helpless Seventh Brother is. Avoiding the mocking eyes of the other brothers towards Yinyou, Yinzhen said, “Prince, the seventh brother has always been like this, so don’t make fun of him.”
Hearing Yinzhen speak, the prince smiled and said, “Yes, I know that fourth brother loves seventh brother, and second brother won’t make fun of him anymore.” Then he patted Yinyou’s shoulder again, “Seventh brother, can you You have to live up to it, or your second brother and your fourth brother will punish you.”
Yinyou rolled his eyes in his heart, these words were like scaring a child who was crying at night to a wolf, he shrugged his head, “brother knows.”
The eldest elder brother couldn’t see this pair of brothers and sisters who pretended to be gong, so they separated and left after finding an excuse, and the third elder brother also found an excuse to leave, and the fifth elder brother was silent all the way, it didn’t make any difference whether he was present or not, but The eighth elder brother looked at Yinyou twice, and was secretly surprised by Yinyou’s actions. Unexpectedly, his seventh brother’s acting skills became more and more proficient, and he even fooled the prince. It’s just that I don’t know if the fourth brother knows the face under the mask of the seventh brother? The eighth elder brother raised his mouth slightly, his seventh elder brother is really a smart and changeable person.
After the elder brothers separated, Yinyou’s complexion finally returned to normal. He raised his eyes to see the expression of the fourth elder brother, and then said, “Fourth elder brother, I left you a rabbit leg.”
“Well,” Yinzhen curled his mouth, stretched out his hand to touch Yinyou’s head, his almost whispering voice reached Yinyou’s ears, “fourth brother will do his best to protect you.”
Yinyou’s eyelashes trembled slightly, and then lowered his eyelids. This is the Emperor Yongzheng in history. He didn’t pretend to say that I will protect you, because he can’t do it now, so he is doing his best. But this promise is easy and not easy for the princes. If it is a lie, it is too easy; if it is the truth, it is not easy and rare. He believed Yinzhen’s words were the latter, and at this moment, Yinyou felt that his uncle’s heart was touched.
“Fourth Brother…”
“Don’t get too close to Brother Ba, that’s not good for you.”
Yinyou lowered his head silently, and then slowly turned his head to look at the flowers blooming by the roadside. The emotion that he didn’t know how to describe was half eliminated because of this sentence.
After returning to his yard, Yinyou received rabbit legs from several brothers, and even the elder brother sent someone to deliver them. I don’t know if it was a joke or something else, Yinyou could only look at a bunch of rabbit legs. The legs twitched the corners of his mouth.
“Master, the fourth elder brother asked someone to bring some venison.”
Yinyou is consummated, finally there is no rabbit meat.
“Si elder brother said that he didn’t have any rabbit legs, so he sent some roe deer meat.”
Yinyou smiled softly, gritted his teeth, and said, “It’s okay, send some of the rabbit legs from my master.” It costs money to watch a play, and these people only give two rabbit legs to watch their own plays.
At noon on the second day, Kangxi was having an imperial meal, and there was a plate of rabbit leg meat on the table. Kangxi’s expression was very delicate. After lunch, Li Dequan trembled when he heard Li Dequan say that Brother Qi distributed the rabbit leg meat equally to each brother. His old seventh… I really don’t know how to describe him.
Knowing the mistakes can improve a lot, or is the mind simpler?
After a long, long time, Kangxi said with an indescribable emotion, “Li Dequan, let Concubine Cheng take care of you today, and Xiao Qi…give me a set of calligraphy.” At any rate, this child has a pure nature, is diligent and studious, and is good at riding and shooting. Not bad for these advantages.
“The servant leads the order,” Li Dequan thought to himself, this could be regarded as a blessing in disguise.
After summer and autumn, it’s already winter, the draft has come to the end, and the showgirls have been selected many times, and there are quite a few who put up their brands. In the end, most of the ones left are those with good family background, good morals, and good manners. show girls.
The empresses of the various palaces also stared at these beautiful girls, some for their own children, and some for themselves. If there were any outstanding ones, they could feel the bottom of each other. For a while, the concubines in the harem began to get busy.
Holding umbrellas, Yinyou and Yinzhen saw several rows of young women standing in the imperial garden from a distance, they stopped, turned around and walked to the side path, it was not suitable for them to appear on such an occasion, so they had to avoid it.
Yinyou looked at the sky under the winter rain, and looked sympathetically at the beautiful women in the imperial garden who were dressed in uniform, “We don’t even have to go to the riding and archery class this afternoon, these beautiful women still have to stand here. ”
Yinzhen’s face remained unchanged, but he knew in his heart that it was because of the rain today that these beautiful girls were all in the Imperial Garden. If it wasn’t raining, the place where these beautiful girls were standing might be Jingyixuan.
“These are all the beautiful girls who passed the preliminary selection of the Tiyuan Palace,” Yinzhen asked with a wooden face, “Seventh brother is interested in these talented girls?”
“There’s one of them who may be the future sister-in-law, of course I have to care about it,” Yinyou looked back for the last time, only to feel that those beautiful women were standing upright one by one, unaffected by the cold wind and winter rain. Influence, it can be seen how strict the requirements on manners are, it is no wonder that most of the people here want to marry the royal nobles or women who are emperors. Yinyou lamented that it was not easy for women throughout the ages.
Yinzhen looked at Yinyou’s curious face, and his voice remained unchanged, “Huang Ama didn’t say that he would give me a marriage. Seventh brother, do you really want me to get married?”
Yinyou asked suspiciously, “Fourth brother, don’t you want to get married?” After the prince gets married, he may gain the power behind his Fujin mother’s family. The status of these brothers in Fujin also has a certain impact on their struggle for the throne. Maybe he doesn’t know this, so what is he awkward about?
It’s been awkward for so long, and you haven’t gotten over it yet? Moreover, he once read a record in a certain book that although Yinzhen was not very affectionate with him, Fujin, they were respectful as guests. So Yinzhen shouldn’t be bad for his future Fujin, right?
Yinzhen didn’t dare to meet Yinyou’s inquiring gaze, so he turned his eyes away and said, “You won’t understand.”
In Yinyou’s eyes, this move was shy and awkward. He sighed and nodded cooperatively, “Oh, I understand.”
Yinzhen looked at the other person’s expression that I understood very well, his complexion changed again and again, and he finally held back, “Seventh brother, let’s go to Yonghe Palace to pay homage first.”
Yinyou nodded knowingly, anyway, he knew who Yinzhen’s Fujin was, so he didn’t need to be too curious. In fact, the saddest thing in the world is knowing the life stories of other people, even his favorite little wife, but only knowing the date of death for himself. What a sad thing. The seventh elder brother in history seems to have died quite early. Yongzheng died in five years, and he had a lot of wives and children. He felt that he needed to do two main things in the future, that is, health preservation and family planning, and there were few wives. Get some, a backyard fire is a scary thing.
Seeing that Yinyou didn’t talk about this topic again, Yinzhen’s expression softened a lot. When the two brothers arrived at Yonghe Palace, Concubine De and Concubine Cheng were sitting together and talking, when she saw Yinzhen, Concubine De put on a smile, “I was talking about you two brothers, just in time to come gone.”
Yinzhen felt a little uneasy, and after asking for peace, he sat on the side without saying a word.
“Fourth, the mansion outside your palace is almost built,” Concubine De asked with a smile.
Yinzhen returned, “It’s almost done, just renovated the original mansion once and expanded a garden.” Guessing what Concubine De said behind, there was no smile on Yinzhen’s face.
“Er Niang saw the daughter of Mr. Fei Yanggu’s family a few days ago. She looks outstanding and has good morals. Tomorrow, I will ask the Lord Long Live to ask the emperor to point her to you.” Concubine De said flatly. Opening his mouth, his eyes swept across Yinzhen’s cold face, and the brows frowned slightly.
Concubine Cheng originally wanted to follow Concubine De’s wishes to praise the girl from the Nala family, but seeing Yinzhen’s complexion seemed unwell, she just said, “It’s indeed a good one.” Then she wanted to find an excuse to leave.
Yinyou also saw that Yinzhen’s complexion didn’t seem very good, and he didn’t know what was going on with Yinzhen for a while, but his status should not stay here at this moment, after all, he is not Yinzhen’s first mother and brother, and Concubine De would not like some things let him know.
Yinyou and Concubine Cheng exchanged a look, and found an excuse to leave, Concubine De was happy to agree, and the mother and son got up and went out.
Looking at Yinyou’s back, Yinzhen suddenly called out, “Seventh brother.”
“Is there anything else for fourth brother?” Yinyou’s eyes were full of puzzlement.
“Wait for the next one,” Yinzhen withdrew his gaze, lowered his head, and stopped looking into Yinyou’s eyes.
Yinyou nodded blankly, and followed Concubine Cheng out the door.
After the two went out, Concubine De asked, “Are you dissatisfied with this person?” She thought she was a promising person, but she turned out to be a person who didn’t understand. I don’t know how the dead Tong Jiashi taught him, and he can’t even understand these things.
Yinzhen remained silent.
Concubine De didn’t care, and continued, “When you went up to the Mulan paddock, your Huang Ama already said that the daughter of Master Fei Yanggu’s family is very suitable for you. This is your Huang Ama’s meaning. Must agree.”
Yinzhen looked up at Concubine De who was full of indifference, and said after a long time, “Emiang, my son is still young.”
Concubine De sighed, “You are not young anymore, when you arrive at the mansion, Er Niang will point you to Ge Ge who will teach you how to understand human affairs. You pay attention, kneel down if you have nothing to do.”
Yinyou clenched and clenched his hands in his sleeves, then slowly got up and knelt down, “Son, please leave.” The affection between mother and child, which was already cold in the bottom of my heart, became weaker and weaker.
