Crown Prince's Counterattack

When it was New Year's Eve, the pens were sealed in the Qianqing Palace. For the coming New Year, the whole palace was bustling with activity.

In the blink of an eye, it was the night of the New Year's Eve. After the banquet of the previous dynasty was over, Kangxi rushed to attend the family banquet again. All the royal family and concubines came, and the situation was particularly grand.

If the relationship is a little far away, the gift is handed over to the eunuch for registration. After all, how can the emperor have so much time to pass the gift one by one, so even if it is the clan, people who can speak in front of the emperor Not much.

Even so, the gifts from each palace are not ordinary, not to mention extraordinary value, more importantly, unique, the luminous pearls of the South China Sea, the coral reefs of the North Sea, the snow lotuses of the Tianshan Mountains, the relics of eminent monks... all cost a huge amount of money. Manpower and material resources, do not seek meritorious service, but seek no faults.

After the sacrificial singing and dancing, the atmosphere gradually became lively, and the adjacent tables leaned on each other's cups, talking happily.The female family members hidden behind the screen also heard bursts of laughter.The children jumped up and down, and no one would restrict their words and deeds at this time.

Kangxi's face was flushed with a satisfied expression.All the princes under the seats were present, even the first prince and the thirteenth prince who hadn't shown up for a long time appeared in the audience, which really made people speculate for a while, and looked at Sima Yi who was sitting next to Kangxi frequently.

Sima Yi remained motionless, and the smile on his face was not affected by any strange gazes.No matter what these two princes have done, the fact that they are the sons of Kangxi will not change. As long as they are not guilty of rebellion, their fate will always be confined.So he deliberately asked for grace, not to mention whether the two brothers would repay their kindness, but the image of friendly brothers would penetrate deeply into the eyes of Kangxi and the upper and lower courts.

"His Royal Highness, I don't know what gift you have prepared for the father today? Why hide it, let everyone see it, after all, the father loves you the most."

As soon as Yinfei opened his mouth, the provocative and sarcastic words made the audience quiet down, and they all looked at Sima Yi, with a bit of malice in watching the excitement.

It's no secret that the First Prince and His Highness the Crown Prince are at odds in the palace all year round, but it's not easy to dare to argue in front of the Holy Majesty. It's just a pawn in the hands of others.

But the most surprising thing was His Royal Highness, who was different from the previous confrontation, Sima Yi was condescending, and his expression did not change the slightest because of Yin Yu's targeting. The caring people present saw it, and their eyes darkened a little.

"Since the eldest brother wants to see it, then Gu should also accompany him."

Sima Yi turned his head and ordered Chen Gui who was waiting at the side.

"Bring things up"

Yinbi's eyes fell on the calm Sima Yi with a little hatred, he didn't care for him to intercede for him.He had already sent people to inquire about it. These days, the East Palace did not spend a lot of money at all, and he had never heard that the crown prince sent people to find any treasures, so he must not let this person get a good reputation.

Sima Yi took the scroll from Chen Gui, Shi Shiran walked up to Kangxi, tore off the red silk ribbon, and the scroll unfolded quickly.

In the middle of the picture scroll is the character Shou written in regular script. The notes look like the handwriting of the prince. The surrounding characters Shou have different strokes and styles. It doesn’t look like a family’s calligraphy.

"Hehe, I don't know where the prince found this authentic work by a famous artist?"

People with a discerning eye saw that this was not an authentic work by a famous artist at all, but Yinyi pointed it out, looking like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water.

The little eunuch reached out to take the scroll from Sima Yi's hand, and Sima Yi smiled and walked in front of Kangxi.

"Father is rich all over the world, and everything that son-in-law owns is bestowed by father, so this year's gift is a hundred-year-old picture made by son-in-law. It is son-in-law who personally visited 99 centenarians and let them I recorded these words on the scroll with my own hands. Although it is not the pen of a famous artist, it is the heart of my son and minister. I only hope that the father will be healthy and prosperous, and his life will last forever. Long live, long live, long live."

Kangxi was also a little surprised at the beginning, but after hearing Sima Yi's explanation, he looked at the picture scroll with a satisfied smile. He is rich in the world, and he values ​​the meaning of gifts more than the value, let alone such gifts that suit his heart. Gift.

"Hang it up in the upper study"

Kangxi gave instructions to the little eunuch, secretly startled all around. It seems that His Royal Highness's gift really satisfied the emperor, maybe at some point... his thoughts inevitably floated.

"This gift is too simple. It seems that His Royal Highness is not as good as before?"

Seeing the emotion on Kangxi's face, Yin Yin's face was gloomy, and his tone became a little more yin and yang.

"The value of this gift depends on the evaluation of the recipient. It is said that the gift is light and the affection is heavy. Presumably the father and the elder brother must have different ideas."

"Okay, stop arguing, I am very satisfied with the prince's gift"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Kangxi couldn't help but stand up. Compared with Sima Yi who had a calm expression on his face, the restlessness and anger on Yinfei's face made him even more displeased.It's nothing for a child to compete for favor in front of him, but at least he must know how to measure it.

A smoke that had not yet been ignited was ignored under Kangxi's strong suppression, and the grand occasion of singing, dancing and peace was resumed on the main hall, but the interaction between father and son brothers in the Tian family was watched by many people. inside.

In winter, the plum blossoms in the imperial garden are in full bloom, and the white snow is piled up among the branches and bushes, which is a special scene.

On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, the princes rushed to the palace with their Fujin side concubines to pay their respects in the early years.

Last night, the news that the annual gift presented by the crown prince won the favor of Kangxi quickly spread throughout the palace, and many people speculated whether the crown prince would regain the favor of the emperor, even though he had never really fallen out of favor. .

"Hey! Come on, quietly, who is this!? Isn't it our His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who respects Yugui and the always pretentious King Baxian?"

When Sima Yi entered the palace, he happened to meet Yinhu who was entering the palace, and then the two of them walked all the way with their own thoughts, until they were stopped in the imperial garden.

Yinfei grabbed a group of people and blocked the necessary road, with a bad face and a sarcasm in his smile.Behind him are the heirs of some ministers, but at this moment they are standing behind tremblingly, with a wry smile on their faces. This is really a disaster for gods fighting mortals. They don't know that His Highness, the eldest prince who is so old but not so smart, is Come to find trouble for His Highness the Crown Prince!

"What do you want to stop here early in the morning? If the emperor finds out about this..."

Sima Yi's point is as soon as possible, if something goes wrong on the first day of the new year, the provocateur, or the provocateur, will be nothing good.

"Brother, after all, they are brothers, so why let others see the joke for nothing?"

Yinhu also stepped forward to persuade.

"As long as you are a good person, why haven't you seen you for a few days? You have become a dog in the hands of our prince. You are obedient...I used to think you were a hypocrite, but I didn't expect you to be a real villain. I didn't If you want to pick up someone else, you are really more and more sensible."

Yinhu's smile froze, and his eyes became a little more gloomy.

"I didn't expect that my elder brother was locked up for a few days, and my mind is not very clear, why is he biting people like a mad dog, but this is in the palace, I hope elder brother is careful."

With an impeccable expression on his face, Yinhu stepped back silently, his clenched fists revealing his mood at the moment.

"Look at what he said. This is what he said to his brother! But...you can't blame him, who told his mother to be born there!"

Yinyi laughed out loud to himself, ignoring Yinhu's increasingly ugly face, the servants and servants around him didn't dare to speak, only Yinyi's loud laughter was heard in the garden.

Some people really can't bear it. For Yinhu, Concubine Liang is his rebel. He can bear it no matter how he is insulted, but if he insults his parents, he will be unfilial if he endures it any more. Zhang Lian is about to step forward.

Sima Yi stopped Yinhu, and gave him a patient look. If the incident continued, it would get worse. Yinhu stared at Sima Yi for a moment, struggling in his eyes, and finally retreated.

"Hurry up and shut up, look at what you look like!"

Sima Yi sternly stopped, Jun's face was a bit angry, and his face similar to Kangxi's showed a bit of majesty.

Yinfei stopped smiling subconsciously, and found that he was being manipulated by someone, or by someone he always looked down on, his face flushed suddenly, with shame and anger.

"What right do you have to control me?!"

"Although you are the eldest brother, don't forget that Gu is still the prince of the dynasty. Gu is the king and you are the minister. Besides, you look down on the concubine Liang, are you questioning the emperor!"

"You are talking nonsense!!!"

"Whether Gu is talking nonsense or not, everyone is listening, so if you don't want to make things big, just stop in moderation, and quickly get out of the way for Gu"

Sima Yi's tone was threatening and impatient.

Yinfei felt a little more fearful, but he was also a little unwilling. He couldn't be scared so easily.

"You just came out, why can't you help but want to go back and stay?!"

Yinfei's heart was shocked, it was rare for his father to let him go, he could no longer anger his father because of something, now is the critical moment of winning the heir, as long as one day he... hum, when the time comes, so Everything he can escape with others, Han Xin can still bear the humiliation of sex, and he can bear it today.

When they saw Yinbi gesturing, the people behind hurriedly stood away, leaving a large area of ​​space behind, and their backs were wet. Fortunately, these princes did not fight, otherwise they would suffer disaster.

"Brother is indeed a smart person, thank you alone."

Although Sima Yi's expression and tone were normal, Yinyi could still hear the smugness, he gritted his teeth and watched the two walk away step by step.
