The swansong of the swansong
Chapter 16: Who the hell are you?
Chapter 16: Who the hell are you?
The eldest son was the first among Kangxi's sons to be granted the title of Prince. He was always proud of it and often boasted about his outstanding military achievements.
However, the title of Prince of Zhi was actually Kangxi's compensation to the eldest brother after he defeated Mingzhu.
Yinyou didn't want to provoke the boss, so his strategy was to keep his distance.
Since the eldest brother doesn't like his younger brothers calling him Big Brother, then just call him Prince Zhi.
Anyway, it's just talk and it's not likely to cost you a pound of meat, so why not do it?
"To reply Prince Zhi, I did something wrong and I deserve to be taught a lesson by Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Yinyou fought back without any ambiguity.
The boss's intentions are extremely sinister, Yinyou must fight back immediately, otherwise, he will never have a good life again.
The crown prince was deposed twice and it was not until the 51st year of Emperor Kangxi's reign that he was officially removed from office.
As for the eldest brother, at most he will be imprisoned in the palace forever in three years, with no chance of getting out again!
Between the crown prince and the eldest brother, Yinyou definitely knows which one is more important!
"What did you do wrong?" the eldest brother asked Yinyou unhappily.
Yinyu bowed and said, "To be honest with you, Prince Zhi, I just returned to the palace and I am all stinking with sweat. I was afraid that I would stink you." Then he turned and left.
Haha, who do you think you are, boss? How dare you question me?
If one is destined to be unable to sit on the fence when in the palace, Yinyou would rather offend the boss than be targeted by the prince.
The so-called Prince of Zhi seemed to be extremely glorious, but in fact, when he met the prince, he still had to kneel down and pay his respects.
"You..." The boss was so angry that his face turned blue, but he could do nothing about it.
After all, Kangxi is still alive, and it is not the eldest brother's turn to teach Yinyou a lesson.
If a child is raised but not taught, it is the father's fault, not the brother's!
The eldest brother is like a father, but that is only after the father dies!
On the way back to the prince's residence, Wu Lin said with some concern: "Master, it would be inappropriate to offend the Prince of Zhi just like this, right?"
Yinyou glanced at the anxious Wulin, smiled coldly, and said, "Put your heart back in your stomach. With just the Prince of Zhi, he can't turn the world upside down at all!"
After returning to the prince's residence, Yinyou had just entered the gate when he heard the howling of ghosts and wolves coming from the ninth prince's side.
Alas, Laojiu has a very bad temper and always takes his anger out on the people around him.
Yinyou shook his head, put his hands behind his back, and slowly walked back to his side.
Two days later, when Yinyou was practicing horse riding and archery in the shooting hall, Nanny Zhangjia from Yuqing Palace came to him with a smile.
Yinyou knew that Nanny Zhangjia was the nanny of Crown Princess Guaerjia and was her most trusted confidant.
"I am Zhangjia, your servant, wishing the fifteenth master good health." When Nanny Zhangjia saw Yinyou, she quickly knelt down and saluted.
Yinyu personally gave her a false hand and said very politely, "Madam Zhangjia, you are too polite."
As the saying goes, don't look at the monk's face, look at the Buddha's face; when beating a dog, you have to look at the owner.
Although Nanny Zhangjia was a bondservant of the Shi family, Yinyu had to treat everyone around the Crown Princess with respect. Otherwise, he would easily be known as someone who despised the Eastern Palace.
Nanny Zhangjia smiled and said, "Master Fifteen, our mistress said that the thank-you gift you sent was very much to her liking. Our mistress also asked you to go to Yuqing Palace for a quick meal when it is convenient for you."
Yinyou really didn't want to offend the prince, so how could he let go of such a good opportunity to save face?
"Please tell Her Majesty the Crown Princess that I have the nerve to bother you so easily." Of course, Yinyou could not readily agree to the olive branch extended by the Crown Princess, and had to say a few humble and polite words.
Aunt Zhangjia squatted down again and said with a smile, "Look at what you said. Our master said that you are always welcome to visit us."
Having said that, Yinyou had to go to the East Palace for the banquet.
After returning to his residence, Yinyu immediately invited Madam Zhang to come over and told her, "Madam, please find a suitable time to go to Madam Zhangjia in Yuqing Palace and see when she is free."
Nanny Zhang is also an old veteran in the palace. How could she not know the famous Nanny Zhang Jia?
"Master, please tell me what gift I should bring to see Aunt Zhangjia?" Aunt Zhang was afraid that Yinyu would look down on Aunt Zhangjia, so she emphasized, "That Aunt Zhangjia is very powerful in the East Palace, so we should not treat her badly."
Yinyu nodded and said, "I really don't know what trick to give her as a gift. So, Madam, you can decide for yourself."
Yinyou understood a truth very early on: leaving professional matters to professionals can achieve twice the result with half the effort!
"Master, to be honest, that Nanny Zhangjia and I are distant relatives..." Nanny Zhang explained in detail the relationship between her and Nanny Zhangjia.
It turns out that the great-grandfathers of Aunt Zhang and Aunt Zhang Jia were brothers.
According to feudal etiquette, Nanny Zhang and Nanny Zhangjia are considered distant cousins within the fifth degree of mourning.
Yinyu suddenly realized that Nanny Zhang's original surname was Zhangjia. However, Nanny Zhang liked to watch the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and especially loved Zhang Fei's heroism, so she shortened Zhangjia to "Zhang".
"Mammy, if that's the case, you should move around more often on weekdays." After Yinyou said this, Mammy Zhang immediately understood that the Fifteenth Master wanted her to reconnect with Mammy Zhangjia.
Without asking too much, Nanny Zhang also knew that asking the Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace through Nanny Zhangjia to help Yinyou persuade her husband would be better than anything else!
"Master, please forgive me for being too nosy. I am too close to Madam Zhangjia. Is that appropriate?" When Madam Zhang asked, Yinyu couldn't help but nodded and smiled, "Madam, you are indeed a mature and prudent good madam."
In terms of cultural level, Aunt Zhang is definitely illiterate.
However, before Yinyou was born, Nanny Zhang had already been living in the palace and had her own extraordinary insights.
No matter what the people in the palace say, the root problem is this: they must follow the right master!
As the biological son of the current emperor, as long as Yinyou does not covet the throne and anger the current emperor and the future emperor, even if he is incompetent, he can ensure that Zhang Ma's entire family lives a decent life.
If Yinyu lived well, Aunt Zhang would surely enjoy the happiness as well. If Yinyu was in trouble, Aunt Zhang would definitely not have a good life.
There is a natural close relationship between Yinyou and Nanny Zhang where they share weal and woe!
This was mainly because the bannermen from top to bottom attached great importance to wet nurses and nannies, and always treated them as elders of different surnames.
Let’s not talk about the distant past, let’s just talk about Li Xu’s brother-in-law Cao Yin. How much advantage did he take by relying on the special relationship between his stepmother Sun and Kangxi’s childhood nanny?
"Madam, just go ahead and do it. It won't be a problem in the future!" Yinyu confidently gave Madam Zhang a reassurance.
Since Yinyou had made up his mind, Nanny Zhang bowed and went out to make the arrangements.
When the palace sent a thousand taels of silver, most of the palace maids and eunuchs around Yinyou had already left the palace.
In the past, Yinyou had always mistakenly believed that the palace maids and eunuchs also lived in the Forbidden City.
In fact, most of the palace maids and eunuchs lived in the imperial city outside the palace.
