Blessed by God - Chapter 42

In the thirty-fifth year of Kangxi, the fourth elder brother and the seventh elder brother returned to Beijing. The emperor was very happy, and the rewards continued. Both their biological mothers were bestowed by the emperor.

After Yinyou returned to the palace, he reported to Kangxi, and after washing up, he rushed to pay his respects to Concubine Cheng. Concubine Cheng’s eyes were red when she saw her only son walking unnaturally. She already knew the news that elder brother Qi was injured on the battlefield, but now seeing Yinyou like this, after all, she felt uncomfortable. He just looked at the maids and eunuchs around him and forcibly endured it.

Seeing Concubine Cheng’s appearance, Yinyou’s heart warmed, and he talked with her for a long time, and then returned to his residence after lunch with her.

The eldest brother listened to the news from the people below, looked at the same rewards on the list, and sneered: “The fourth and that useless old seven have made a big splash this time.” It stands to reason that the crown prince supervises the country Well, the matter of rewarding the army should have been handed over to him as the eldest son, but Huang Ama actually handed it over to the fourth and seventh sons.

The seventh child stayed in the barracks for a period of time, so it made sense to let him go, but what’s the point of asking the fourth child to stay and reward the army? He had already attacked Galdan with the army six years ago, and he has made a lot of contributions this time. Could it be that he is not as good as the fourth child?

“Brother, from a slave’s point of view, Lord Long Live is probably just trying to build momentum for the prince,” said an aide with some hesitation: “Brother Si is from the side of the prince, and Lord Long Live has always favored the prince…”

Eldest brother beat the corner of the table resentfully, his face was so gloomy and ugly, “Huang Ama, I have made so many contributions, can I not compare to that second child who loves to molest and play with eunuchs?” !

In Yuqing Palace, the prince was obviously in a good mood. He was still a little jealous of the fourth child this time, but seeing the fourth child who had found a chance to greet him not long after returning to the palace, the deadly suspicion in his heart was suppressed: “The old man Si worked hard this time and lost a lot of weight.”

“Thank you, Prince, for stopping me.” Yinzhen roughly talked about some things that happened during the march, implicitly expressing some puzzlement at the fact that he left behind to reward the army, and his attitude was respectful but not obsequious.

“Huang Ama is wise, I will wait for my son to do things according to his orders.” The prince took a sip of tea and said, “You have done a good job, fourth.” Together, it is to suppress the boss and the eighth. It seems that this move is going well.

Yinzhen raised his eyes, then lowered his head to drink tea, “What the prince said is true.”

The prince smiled when he heard the words: “I heard that the seventh brother injured his foot, how is the situation?”

Yinzhen put down his teacup, frowned slightly and replied: “Seventh Brother got injured on the battlefield and broke his toe. After participating in the battle, he rushed back to Beijing. Now his foot injury has not healed yet. I’m afraid he will have to take care of it for a few days.”

Is it physically disabled? The corners of the prince’s mouth widened, and soon he changed into a worried expression, “I still have some medicine to make up for my body, so my fourth brother Lao will help me take it for the seventh brother. When I am free, I will visit the seventh brother.”

“I thanked the crown prince on behalf of my seventh brother here,” Yinzhen said gratefully.

The prince smiled when he saw this, he knew that the fourth child and the seventh child were friends, and this was just to sell the fourth child’s face. As for the younger brother who had a foot disease and is now missing a toe, I am afraid that there is not much luck.

Yinyou’s wound no longer hurts, but now it’s starting to form scars, which makes people unable to resist scratching, and needs to wear soft shoes and socks. Sitting in the room, he simply took off the shoe on his left foot, and leaned on the teacher’s chair lazily flipping through a book of travel notes.

“Master, the fourth elder brother is here.” Seeing his master’s lazy look, Fuduo stepped forward to help him put on his shoes.

“Don’t move, just like this, please come in, fourth brother, you go and make the new tea that Huang Ama gave you,” Yinyou waved his hand, too lazy to make such a fuss, anyway, he was too lazy to toss and suffer by himself in front of Yinzhen .

“Hey,” Fuduo saw his master speaking, but he had no choice but to back out, but he was a little worried for his master’s trust in the fourth elder brother.

As soon as Yinzhen entered the door, he saw a person sitting on the grand teacher’s chair with his left foot bare, holding a book in his hand, and a cup of steaming tea on the low table next to him, and two trays of tea on one side. An appetizing snack, extremely lazy.

“You will enjoy it.” Sitting down on the chair beside him, Yinzhen slowly let go of his worry.

“Stealing a half-day leisure in Fusheng.” Yinyou put down the book, took a sip from the teacup, “It’s rare to come back and enjoy it, so naturally I can’t waste it.”

“I think you are lazy.” Yinzhen laughed, and glanced at the left foot that was still wrapped in bandages: “Don’t go to the household department these few days, lest the wound fester again.” The wound was already healed at the end of June, Unexpectedly, he went to battle again in July, and then hurried back to Beijing. The wounds that had been healed festered and bled on the road. Sometimes at night he could hear Yinyou humming in pain in his dreams. He took the medicine and continued on, as if the pain at night was fake.

On the way, he sometimes thought, if the crown prince suffered such an injury, who would dare to rush on the road regardless of the crown prince’s health? But it was the seventh younger brother who was injured. Not only did he have to go forward with the army, he couldn’t even complain, otherwise he would use his military exploits to run amok, or the seventh elder brother misbehaved and acted recklessly. This thought took root in his mind, and he couldn’t get rid of it or say it.

At this moment, Fuduo brought tea, and Yinzhen took a sip of tea, seeing that Yinyou didn’t object to what he said earlier, he said again: “Just now the prince asked me to bring you some tonics, I have given them to Fu too much.”

Yinyou saw that Yinzhen’s complexion was not good before, so he didn’t say anything, but now seeing that Yinzhen didn’t seem to have any abnormality, he changed his sitting position slowly: “I will find a chance to thank you, fourth brother just came back and didn’t get together with the people in the house .”

“The whole house is well taken care of, I have nothing to worry about,” Yinzhen said calmly, took a bite of a snack, it was slightly sweet, he swallowed it whole, and took another sip of tea.

Seeing him like this, Yinyou knew that he must not have much relationship with the women in the mansion, so he smiled and said: “By the way, fourth brother, Huang Ama has ordered to build a mansion for me, and it is not far from you. It will be convenient for me to come to your house.”

“Well, you can count on me,” Yinzhen smiled, but then remembered that Huang Ama had pointed out Nalashi to Yinyou, and felt depressed again, so he forced a smile and said: “You have it.” If you look at Fujin, you won’t remember to go to the fourth brother’s house.”

Yinyou frowned. Subconsciously, he didn’t have much affection for the strange Fujin. He knew that he couldn’t have only one Fujin. The so-called monogamy angered the emperor, not to mention the children of the Manchurian Eight Banners nobles in the Qing Dynasty, who did not have a concubine at home, unless he wanted to be a different kind.

He can pay the woman who will belong to him in the future the responsibility a man should have, and will not take the initiative to get a woman back outside, but he is not so naive as an elder brother to talk about monogamy. What’s more, those women don’t necessarily want to be the prince’s wives and concubines. In the eyes of men in the Qing Dynasty, women were tools for giving birth, and all he could do was respect them.

They were originally bonded to each other without emotion, so how could Yinzhen treat him like this?

Thinking of this, Yinyou looked at Yinzhen seriously: “You have only one fourth brother, and you are different from them.”

Hearing this, Yinzhen slowly loosened the hand that was holding the teacup unconsciously, and gently put the teacup down, Yinzhen smiled complicatedly: “That’s enough.”

Yinyou seldom sees Yinzhen showing such a smile. This handsome and indifferent face seems to be incompatible with such a smile. He feels a little uncomfortable in his heart. Looking at the grown-up child, he finally becomes more and more mature. The more he looks like an unfathomable character, maybe until he becomes that high emperor, no one can understand him.

The taste of being too cold at a high place… Yinyou suddenly smiled, as long as Yinzhen treats him for a day, he will not lie to Yinzhen, if he is close to Yinzhen because he is the future emperor, at this time he has already seen this The child who grew up with it is in my heart. It is said that the royal family has no true feelings. From the age of three to now, hasn’t this child still protected himself in the harem for more than ten years?

“Fourth brother, can you treat me differently when you have Fujin?” Yinyou turned his body slightly, and stretched his head a little lower, and got closer to Yinzhen: “I am the same too.”

Looking at this handsome face quietly, Yinzhen suddenly wanted to stretch out his hand to caress those beautiful peach eyes, but only for a moment, he raised the corner of his mouth, stretched out his hand and flicked Yinyou’s forehead: “Then I will take good care of you.” Look, if you treat fourth brother badly, I will lock you into a room so that you can’t see the women in your house.”

Like looking sideways at Yinzhen, Yinyou retracted his head, took another sip of tea while holding the teacup, and raised his chin in thought: “Fourth brother, you have no chance.”

“It’s fine if you don’t have a chance,” Yinzhen looked at him with a smile, picked up the teacup and lifted the lid, took a sip of the tea leaves on the surface of the water, something flickered in his eyes, and finally turned into a smile.

Yinyou glanced at Yinzhen, faintly had a strange illusion, and secretly sighed in his heart, could it be that he was born to endure hardships, returned to the palace to drink some good tea and eat some exquisite snacks, and his heart was full of anxiety It’s hard.

At the eighth elder brother’s house, Yinhu handed some invitations to an **** beside him, looked at the eyes outside the door, and smiled on his face.

It’s rare that the weather is so good, and the brothers are all in the capital, so how can we not have a good get-together?
