The old man in the imperial city

This night, Wu Liangfu guarded the outer tent to stop Prince Xiang who had something to see, and sent hot water into the inner tent three times before and after.

The next day the emperor got up as usual to do business, and after approving the documents, he began to visit the Mongolian princes in turn.Since Prince Xiang accompanied the driver on the road, he would come every day to ask the emperor to sit with him. Naturally, this day also came, but he looked around and did not see Dong E's little guard who followed the emperor in and out every day.

So Prince Xiang immediately resigned and withdrew from the account without delay after paying his respects, the emperor knew it well and smiled and didn't stop him.

Prince Xiang didn't dare to linger outside the imperial tent, he wandered around a few times, and finally caught Wu Liangfu who was passing the meal out of the tent: "Adventure, why didn't you see Dong E's guards today?"

Wu Liangfu was covered in sweat under the watchful eyes of Prince Xiang. A slave would always offend others in order to please his master. This time things were a bit unusual. It was the emperor who wanted to steal someone.

Prince Xiang finally found out that Qi Buchen hadn't come out since entering the imperial account last night, so he forcibly suppressed all kinds of anger and bad words, and made up his mind to sit on the sidelines and wait for the rabbit.

Prince Xiang waited until after noon before hearing the report from his entourage. The small guard of Dong E made a detour from the side of the imperial tent and went to the stables, as if he didn't need to be on duty.

Prince Xiang, who had been holding back for a whole journey, finally found a breakthrough, and blocked his ex-wife in the stable, who was dressed as a guard and was brushing the horse with her sleeves rolled up.

"Should I call you Qi Buchen, or Wanru? Or would you rather be called Wu Yunzhu?" Boguoer was not in a hurry when they met each other. Interrogate himself on a stable post.

Yinhu didn't know what kind of ceremony to hold, so his subordinates brushed the horse leisurely, and said in his mouth: "The prince has observed this for a long time, and he has already made a conclusion in his mind, why bother to ask?"

"Wanru, you are much more courageous. Don't you think that with the emperor's brother as your backer, I can't do anything to you?" Prince Xiang is not good at strategizing, and blindly shows his toughness to others. After a few words, he began to speak harshly.

Yinhu rinsed the brush in the bucket, with a sense of confidence: "My lord, King Xiang Fujin died of illness last year, and he didn't even save his bones. Everyone in the court has already known about it. If it weren't for this, there would be no later matter. Wu Yunzhu is a person on the jade document, and has nothing to do with Prince Xiang's residence. From my servant's point of view, it's better not to delve into this matter."

Boguo'er's anger had long been ignited with these words, he stepped forward and knocked the brush out of Yinhu's hand, dragged the person closer and gritted his teeth: "It turns out that you hooked up with the emperor to support you in the palace last year, Maybe the child in your womb is not my king's seed at all!"

Yinhu's eyes fluctuated slightly: "You don't have to believe it, the prince, Zun Fujin did not do anything to offend the prince before he died of illness last year, regardless of what happened after that, but even if Fujin didn't die that day, what would happen to the ending?"

Boguo'er said angrily: "Are you still reasonable? Since you are married to the master, you will be your husband for the rest of your life. It is your blessing that the master dotes on you. If you scold you a few words, you dare to use tricks to cheat your death and steal from your husband? You also said that you are not looking at the power of the emperor's brother, and think that the prince's mansion is not grand enough?"

Yinhu: ...the body of a boy and a girl is so hard, I can't explain why.

So Prince Lian also imitated the emperor to play the rogue card: "The prince said it was right, the slave is just fighting the injustice for the clan sister, and there is not even a whole body after death. No matter what happened to him back then, the prince now has beautiful wives and beautiful family members in the mansion." , it's all over."

Boguoer raised his eyebrows and blocked Yinhu's way: "Do you think you are Qi Buchen again?"

Yinhu: ...Grand Uncle, do you really want to compete?Why bother?

Yinhu thought about not making it too ugly, so he softened and admitted his mistake: "The prince is a person who does great things, why bother? Regardless of whether he was right or wrong that day, Dong E's death and burial have long been known to everyone and there is no turning back. No matter Wu Yunzhu or Wanru, they are not a good match for the prince, they are just a loose woman, if they are gone, they will be gone, it would be better if they really died."

Boguoer glared at Dong E's white and small face, and said embarrassingly: "Unfortunately, you didn't die! You don't obey women's morals and don't hug the pipa, and you want to persuade you to endure it and become a green-headed turtle? How can there be such a good thing in the world?" Let you take it all by yourself!"

Yinhu took a deep breath, pretending to be ashamed: "My lord just forgot about the stillborn child that day? For three whole months, did your lord give me a chance to explain it? My garden was enclosed. I was dying that day, I really thought I would die, if the prince could see each other in consideration of the slightest affection in the past, why did he come to this day?"

The thief shouted "Stop the thief", beat him upside down, twisted out of the wall until he was discouraged, and he would do the same.

These words really aroused Prince Xiang's few traces of regret.

The child that Dong E's lost was indeed his flesh and blood by month.Although he didn't mention it, since Dong E's death, he hasn't entered Borzigit's yard for several months, and he hasn't even looked at her daughter.

Prince Xiang was quite adamant about Dong E's tricks. Hearing this, he calmed down his anger, but he still refused to give in: "Even so, you shouldn't cheat death. Even if you cheat death, it's fine if you get angry. How can you follow the emperor's brother?" ? Where will you put the faces of Grandpa and Erniang when you do this?"

Yinhu had had enough, no matter where she went, her mother-in-law stepped in.

"My lord was joking. I faked my death and went out of the house to transcribe the genealogy of the jade document. How can a woman do such a thing well? Does my lord think that I begged the emperor to do it?"

Prince Xiang was silent, he just deliberately didn't think about it.

Maybe he deliberately asked Dong E why he didn't show his integrity by dying, but before that, he had just beaten his wife to cause a miscarriage, and treated her coldly for three months when she was lying in bed with a serious illness, and he didn't even bother to Take a look, a fire will burn people casually.

Calculated in this way, it seems that he has also done something heartless.

So it was rare for the two of them not to speak.

Yinhu left the uncle in a daze, turned around and continued to brush the horse, and then took a wooden stick to pick out the stones and sand between the horse's hooves.It wasn't until the horse's mane was smooth and shiny that he bent down to pick up the saddle on the ground.

The sterling silver saddle bestowed by the emperor was not light, and it was a bit difficult for Yinhu to move it.

Prince Xiang suddenly took a hand across and helped Yinhu put the saddle on the horse's back: "When did you learn to brush the horse? You don't look like a novice in your movements."

Yinhu pouted: That's right, my master is definitely a skilled worker in handling horses.The fourth child has been thinking about Grandfather's horse until his death.

Prince Xiang asked again: "You were also very skilled at hunting yesterday. You learned it in your boudoir school? Why did you never ride a horse in the palace? If I knew you would, why should I take a high look at Borzigit?"

He always thought that Fujin was a canary, and he had to be pampered. He washed the worms he caught and put them in a bowl for her to eat. Once he let them out, they would be picked up by eagles.

Of course, in fact his Fujin was indeed taken away.

So the great uncle is not reconciled.

Yinhu replied vaguely: "Girls from the Han family are the only ones who don't go out of the door. Who is not good at riding and shooting? My mother only said that we are not allowed to mess around when we get married, and we sisters are restrained to stay at home after we get married Husband and son. As for having fun, there are other sisters with me, so where is our turn?"

To put it simply, it is common sense that Fujin is in charge of the house, and concubines are for fun.If a regular wife, Fujin, puts down her dignity and competes with concubines, she will lose face to her mother's family.

Grand Uncle Dong was at a loss for words, and Dong E's marriage to him was less than two years old, and he had been sick all the time, but later on, the head of the family was indeed good, and he was never ambiguous in taking concubines for him.

Thinking of it like this made him feel a little bit unaware of his blessings.

So what Wanru meant was that she was the main wife back then, so she had to be virtuous and reserved, but now that she has become the concubine of the emperor's brother, she has no scruples to show her true nature?

The great uncle thought so far, that he didn't have a clue until Yinhu finished brushing the horse and resigned.

His original plan was to block people and yell at her for cheating on a woman and second husband for giving him a cuckold, but the woman's babbling made him feel somewhat ashamed and remorseful, as well as an inexplicable sense of loss.

Yinhu didn't have his own tent, and the emperor couldn't give him a chance to sleep with other men, so he could only go back to the imperial tent to change the clothes that were soiled by brushing horses.

When the emperor heard that Dong E's little bodyguard had returned, he excitedly stopped his visit and went back to the inner tent, molesting his half-dressed younger brother who was cleaning his face: "Eighth brother and great uncle have made it clear? Your great uncle didn't make things difficult for you, did you? "

"No." Yinhu cherished words like gold and would not be molested.

In fact, he had a very subtle premonition. Today, he did dispel the idea of ​​grand uncle making a big deal, but he felt that grand uncle might soon run to embarrass the emperor.

Yinzhen didn't doubt his younger brother's ability to appease people's hearts. This time, allowing Prince Xiang to find Lao Ba's showdown would only make people stare at him from a distance, so he didn't know what the two of them said.

Yinhu twisted the handkerchief, cleaned his face and wiped his hands, then turned to pick up the hood and collar thrown on the kang table.Relying on his young age, he was able to get away with disguised as a man, but he was wearing a hat and a high collar all the time, and he was sweating all over when the weather was hot.

Yinzhen snatched the hat and threw it back, pointed at his bald neckline and said, "What's the hurry, you're not on duty today, why put on an air when there's only you and me in the tent?"

Yinhu half-closed his eyes and let the emperor undo the first buckle under his neck: "The emperor came to Mobei not to provoke relations with the Mongolian princes. It is humiliating to be polite in the tent to preach prostitution all day long."

Yinzhen pretended to be puzzled: "Who is gentle?"

Yinhu: ...

The emperor held back for a moment, and fell down with a chuckle: "I have already put on colorful clothes to entertain my younger brother, and the eighth brother should praise the fourth brother for his heart."

Yinhu: "...fourth brother... has a heart."

During the day, Yinhu tried her best to tear up her face and refused to mess around with the emperor.Yinzhen is not an emperor who is too obsessed with color and wit, and he knows when to get some sweets by twisting around for a while.But words must have the upper hand: "The eighth brother also spoke righteously at the beginning last night, why did he pester me in the end to hurry up?"

Yinhu's expression remained unchanged, and he said with a look of disgust: "The younger brother is telling the fourth brother to finish his work so that he can go to bed soon, and there is no one to wait on the emperor when the water is cold and sick."

Yinzhen thought that this sentence was also a compliment to himself for his long-lasting glory, but he felt that the words of complaint uttered by the mouth of the old man were very pleasant, so he stepped forward and grabbed the person and rolled him on the bed: "How can this kind of thing be fast? Really? Soon you will suffer."

Yinhu said angrily: "What are you doing? I'm going to race a horse!"

Yinzhen rubbed him indiscriminately: "Don't move, I won't make trouble with you today. I'm exhausted after fighting the Mongols for half a day. After a while, you should come to the tent to accompany you in the afternoon, lest you will always be missed by the great uncle."
