Blessed by God - Chapter 55

After New Year’s Eve, it was a new year, Jin Su arranged gifts for the princes in the various palaces, and showed him whether it was suitable while he was going down to court.

“Let’s add another one to the prince. As for the harem, De’eniang said a few days ago that she likes folk gadgets. If you have time in the future, hand her a sign to say hello. Back then, De’eniang and Emiang lived in Yonghe In the palace, De Erniang also took good care of her.” Yinyou put down the gift list, then turned around and asked Fuduo to bring the folk toys that boys like to play with to the Yongjun Palace, “Your name is Sige Bring it to Xiao Shisi for me, don’t need to say anything else.”

Jinsu understood Yinyou’s intention in his heart, and agreed one by one.

Yinyou changed his court clothes, and looked at the snow that hadn’t stopped outside: “It’s been cold these two days, please pay more attention, I’ll go to the study to read for a while, I don’t need anyone to wait on me.”

“I asked someone to make a pot of hot tea for you. A few days ago, Brother Ba’s house sent tea, but I haven’t tasted it yet,” Jin Su said, while walking towards the inner door.

Yinyou’s complexion changed slightly, seeing that Jinsu’s complexion was as usual, he said: “I heard that my father-in-law appreciates my eighth brother very much, but…” He looked up at the sky, “It’s the first month now, you can find a day to visit your father-in-law and mother-in-law, I will ask Fodor to prepare it for you.”

“Thank you so much,” Jin Su blessed Fushen, and opened the curtain for Yinyou, watching Yinyou walk out, the carved door opened and closed, she frowned. In any case, the mother’s family and the eighth elder brother must be put aside. What the master said just now must be that he was dissatisfied with the courtier and the prince getting too close.

Drinking the fresh tea, Yinyou rubbed his forehead and sighed. In the past two days, the fourth brother sent tea to his house, and I don’t know what the eighth brother thinks. He also wants to join in the fun twice a year. It is impossible not to see that there is no possibility that he has not helped him. This master has always been gentle since he was a child, smiling when he is happy, and laughing when he is unhappy, and he is not very close to him. Compared with the closeness between him and Brother Nine, he is even worse.

Could it be that this person is deliberately trying to make the fourth brother doubt him? Yinyou put down his teacup and sighed, his calculations in his previous life were in vain in front of these emperors and princes.

After the beginning of spring in the thirty-eighth year of Kangxi, the chill in the Forbidden City was relieved, but there was a news in the palace that Lord Long Live had executed a young **** in Yuqing Palace, and the prince was so angry that he dropped the jade pieces in the palace. Although the Long Live Lord walked away in anger, he did not punish the prince.

When Yinyou heard the news, his mood was very complicated. In his heart, the prince is actually a very good young man, but since the princes were entrusted last year, the prince has become more impetuous. Originally, he only wanted to feed beautiful women and play with them occasionally. First, who knows that now he has the courage to raise his face.

The appearance of the prince, apart from the pressure from his brothers, is also related to Kangxi’s appeasement and fostering traitors. He condoned all the bad habits of his son Baocheng, extravagant, irritable, and beautiful. Before he did not dislike the prince, all the faults of the prince They were all instigated by villains around him. When he disliked the prince, the prince’s past shortcomings were infinitely magnified, and even his past advantages were regarded by him as ulterior motives, even sinister ones.

The talented and graceful prince was eventually rejected and imprisoned, and was even described by some people who did not understand history in later generations as a worthless pustule, lustful, courageous and cunning.

He is the most beautiful prince in the Qing Dynasty, and also the most miserable prince in the Qing Dynasty, and he is also a poor prince who has been discredited by later generations. See, no matter how beautiful and outstanding you are, you will never know whether your life will be glorious or humiliating until you make it to the last step.

Another half month later, Suo’etu was reprimanded by the emperor, and his words seemed to blame Suo’etu for teaching the prince badly. Yinyou stood with his head down, listening to the man sitting on the dragon chair counting Suo’etu’s crimes , and then fined Suo’etu with one year’s salary, and then went down with a bad face.

Suo’etu’s face was not good-looking, but the eyes of the prince on one side were full of fear and anger. The elder brother on the other side showed a smug look.

The prince flung his sleeves and left the court, Yinyou glanced at his back, lowered his eyelids indifferently, and saw a trace of joy in Yinhu’s eyes that was too late to hide from his head.

Can’t help but glance at Yinzhen, the other party is still neither happy nor angry, Yinyou sighed, eighth elder brother lost here.

In the next month, the crown prince restrained himself a lot, and the miantou and all kinds of beauties raised in Zhuangzi were also sent away. Kangxi and the crown prince returned to the previous scene of fatherly kindness and son filial piety.

In April, news came again from the palace that Concubine Min was seriously ill, and the Holy Majesty was very worried, so the imperial physician asked for pulse three times a day.

When he got the news, Yinyou and Yinzhen were admiring flowers in the gazebo of Biezhuang.

“Fourth brother, thirteenth brother is young, so it is inevitable to worry about my mother. You should visit more often. Brothers care about each other.” Yinyou put down the teacup and glanced at the sky, “At this time, I should also go back home It’s gone.” Standing up and squinting at the westward sun, Yinyou turned back and smiled at Yinzhen, “Sooner or later, people will have such a day.”

Yinzhen looked at his cheeks that were flushed by the setting sun, and his heart moved, “Seventh brother, I…” Withdrawing his outstretched hand, he forced a smile, “Let’s go to the palace together tomorrow to have a look.”

Yinyou walked out of the gazebo, and waved his back to Yinzhen, “I won’t go tomorrow, you go first, and I will go with you the next day.” Looking at the small flowers blooming by the roadside, Yinyou smiled wryly, otherwise this How could Thirteenth Lang be so loyal to the later Yongzheng Emperor?

Yinzhen watched the back figure go farther and farther, sat back on the stone bench, his eyes fell on the teacup Yinyou had drunk, and the behavior of the seventh brother who came in seemed to be… secretly helping him, even though the seventh brother had nothing Said. Ease the relationship between him and Er Niang, let Fourteen get closer to him, and help win over Thirteenth Brother. All of this… was originally what the seventh brother wanted to run away from.

After sitting for half a stick of incense, Yin Zhen got up and clapped his hands, Xiao Luzi appeared with two maidservants, and after seeing the ceremony, he said: “Master, the sedan chair for returning home is ready.”

“No need, I’m staying in Biezhuang today, you go to the mansion and get my court clothes.” Yinzhen walked out of the pavilion, looked up at the redder sunset, and walked towards the house.

After walking two steps, he stopped again and ordered: “Send the best peonies in Zhuangzi to Seventh Brother’s mansion, and then see if there are any more precious flower seeds, and send them there too.” Yinzhen was a little helpless about his seventh brother’s preference for tea and flowers, but he couldn’t help but want to send it when he saw the good things. This subconscious behavior made him sigh helplessly. But fortunately this is the seventh brother, from the Aixinjueluo family, if it is his wife and concubine, I am afraid that he will lose his correct judgment.

Even Yinzhen couldn’t figure out this kind of inexplicable thought that he didn’t worry about betrayal even if his heart was attached to his seventh brother. The affection of the royal family is a luxury. He has always been indifferent, but he developed a feeling for his half-brother. I really don’t know if he is lucky that he can appreciate this kind of emotion, or is it unfortunate that he fell in love with him as himself? A man who kisses his brother.

On the second day when Yin Zhen entered the palace, he looked at Yin Xiang who had red eyes in front of him, and patted him on the shoulder, “Thirteenth brother, the noble concubine Er Niang will be fine, don’t worry too much.”

The two brothers talked for a while before Yinzhen left the palace where Concubine Min lived. Walking alone on the bluestone road, Yinzhen recalled the hug that little Yinyou gave him ten years ago when he was crying in Kunning Palace until his eyes turned red. And then he lost Er Niang’s protection, and returned to the name of Qin Er Niang again, the brothers’ attitude towards him was obviously not as warm as before, and even the crown prince was not as careful with him as before. Only Yinyou treated him better than when Er Niang was alive, and often pestered himself to “talk with him at night by candlelight”, and in the end he always fell asleep before him.

It seems that since the age of six, that child has been by my side after he stumbled and held his hand. He is smart, sees the overall situation clearly, and doesn’t like intrigue, but he is guarding against Nala Yishi’s Fujin, perhaps because The elder brother is at odds with the prince, but he is close to the prince, he is worried about causing trouble to himself.

Before Nala’s death, Yinyou met her, and he knew about it. Yinyou had some kindness and kindness of the Han people in his nature. Others didn’t know it, but he knew it very well. Nalashi can not die, at least Yinyou can keep her, and with Yinyou’s nature, maybe he doesn’t want Nalashi to die.

It’s just because she belongs to the Nala clan and is of the same family as the elder brother’s Er Niang, so Yinyou cruelly let her be given to death by Huang Ama’s last cup of poisoned wine. For his own sake, others may not understand what the seventh brother did in private, but he has to understand.

Yinyou repays his brother’s love with all his heart, but he treats him with unbearable thoughts. Thinking of this, Yinzhen smiled wryly, so all the brothers said that he favored this lame brother openly and secretly, and even the prince vaguely reminded himself that there was no need to please a brother who was of little use. In fact, these people didn’t know that he wanted to use these good things to resist the guilt in his heart, and the only remaining true feelings of the royal family were desecrated by his unbearable thoughts.

After all… I wasted my seventh brother’s true love.

“Fourth brother.”

When Yinzhen turned his head, he saw the person he was thinking of running towards him with a bag in his hand.

“Seventh brother,” his throat was a little dry, but his face showed the gentle expression that always belonged to the seventh brother, “what is this in your hand?”

“This is a new-style peach blossom cake I got from Huang Ama. I played chess with Huang Ama for a full hour today.” Yinyou divided half of the chestnuts, wrapped them in a clean veil and handed them to Yinzhen, “Fourth brother, try it too. If it’s delicious, we’ll go to Huang Ama to ask for recipes and make it ourselves.”

Yinzhen took the package of dim sum, feeling helpless at Huang Ama’s behavior of always asking the seventh brother to play chess, and then always being scolded by the seventh brother for his bad chess skills. He once thought that Huang Ama detested the seventh brother, but after thinking about it carefully, the rewards of their other brothers have never been short of the seventh brother. Every year, the seventh brother will be pointed at the nose by Huang Ama and scolded a few times. But Huang Ama never really got angry from the beginning to the end.

Looking at Yinyou with a hippie smile, Yinzhen sighed, and asked Huang Ama also want a son who is simple but not domineering. The other brothers have their own concerns more or less. There was no such opportunity, and the seventh brother has always acted straightforwardly, so Huang Ama’s occasional indulgence to the seventh brother is also fine.

Even the seventh younger brother who made dim sum for the queen can get it, who said Huang Ama doesn’t favor the seventh younger brother?

Yinyou saw that Yinzhen looked at him silently, and the smile on his face also faded, “Is Minianum not in good health?”

“It’s okay, Min’eniang’s body is only the imperial physician, so you don’t need to worry about it,” Yinzhen and Yinyou walked side by side, “I played chess with Huang Ama today, can I win?”

For the chess skills that have been passed down for thousands of years, Yinyou still suffers from headaches. Thinking of the situation where Kangxi knocked the back of his hand because he regretted chess just now, he sighed resignedly: “My chess skills will be like this in this life.” Kangxi also likes to call He came to toss, could it be that his idiot chess skills can give Kangxi a sense of superiority in IQ?

Showing an expression that he had expected a long time ago, Yinzhen patted Yinyou’s shoulder, “It’s okay, next time you play with me, I’ll let you win.”

Yinyou gritted his teeth, “Fourth brother, even if you want me to win, you shouldn’t say it.” This kind of tone of coaxing a six-year-old child is really unacceptable to him as an uncle!

“Okay, then I will let you win secretly next time,” Yinzhen thought for a while, and came to a conclusion that it would not be easy for the seventh brother to win a game of chess.

Yinyou glanced at the dim sum in Yinzhen’s hand, with a hint of regret: “Fourth brother, you don’t have to be so sincere.”

Holding the pastry a little far away, Yinzhen couldn’t help but smile, “This is already a lie.”

Yinyou: “…”
