Difficult for you · Yiyong

Chapter 14

"Fourth brother... you, alas... she is so cute, do you really have the heart to drive us back like this?"

Yinzhen glanced at his hand, and was about to look up, but couldn't help but look again, and finally sighed: "Then you clearly know what I'm thinking, and you still say this to tease me, because you dislike my heart. Isn't it blocked enough?"

"Fourth brother...don't rush me, I will stay for another day," Yinxiang stretched out his hand and hugged him tightly, gritted his teeth and said, "Just one day, I will accompany you..."

Yinzhen pushed him, but he hugged him even tighter, and finally said nothing.Let him serve the tea for a while, and the decoction for a while, the two gossip and laugh for a while, just like the time when they were together in the past.

Until night fell, Yinzhen didn't see anyone else, and even Li Mo who was close to him seemed to have disappeared, and Yinxiang's figure was always turning around in front of him, and finally couldn't help pulling him in. Sitting down beside the bed: "Okay, what are you doing, you want to prepare all the food for me for the next year?"

Yinxiang was taken aback for a moment, then put down the cold soup in his hand in a daze.It was already the golden autumn of October, but there was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, which seemed to be sprinkled with a layer of gold powder in the warm light.Yinzhen's heart softened, and he habitually raised his hand to wipe it for him, and then slowly exhaled: "Look at your stupid look, don't be busy, come and lie down with me for a while, and leave early when it is dawn."

In October of the 53rd year of Kangxi, the Fujin Zhaojia family of Yinxiang, the thirteenth son of the emperor, gave birth to a daughter.But at this time, the thirteenth son was no longer the prince who was loved by the emperor back then, let alone a daughter.Those who are still walking around in face, that is, sending someone to Shisan Beizi's mansion to give a gift to congratulate, and those who are more distant, pretend that they have not heard about it at all.

On the other side of Prince Yong's mansion, there was a busy crowd, Nala clan, Niu Gulu clan, Nian clan, and Li clan, no matter what they thought in their hearts, they were all happy.Talking and laughing while arranging things on the table.

"I heard that little Gege was born on the tenth night of the lunar new year. It's only seven or eight days old, and it's already in good shape." Definitely very happy.”

Niu Gulu also nodded and smiled: "It's a pity that Ge Ge, the only one in our family, is also married. If you want me to say, the Thirteenth Lord has a daughter. Our Lord is not only happy, but also very greedy."

Although her words were meant as a disrespectful joke, Nala didn't care. The son is very intelligent, and Yinzhen likes it too.Therefore, Chao Nian and the others smiled and said: "It's true, the younger sisters should be more careful, and add a few more children to our prince..."

After hearing this, several people thought that although Yinzhen was not obsessed with the backyard on weekdays, he was not mean to them. His face was full of shame and joy. Said: "Fu Jin is making fun of us again, let us quickly finish this net, so that Fujin can take it to send to Thirteen Lord's little Gege."

"Hey, sister Nian, don't be shy, I don't need to say anything," Nala smiled, glanced at the various congratulatory gifts prepared on the table, frowned slightly, and said in a low voice: "Although Thirteen The uncle's house is not necessarily short of food and clothing, but after all, there is no one in charge, and the younger brother and sister are so gentle that they swallow their heads when they are wronged. It really makes people feel sad when they see it."

"The Thirteenth Lord is our lord's confidant. These years, the Thirteenth Lord has been imprisoned, and I don't even have a happy day." Nian Shi also lowered his head and whispered: "It's not like the early years, From time to time, they ask people to set wine and vegetables in the garden..."

Everyone in the room has been with Yinzhen for many years. During the New Year's festival, I have seen him push glasses with Yinxiang with a smile on his face, and even compose poems and sing together when he is in the mood. It was hard to see his smiling face, but he fit in more and more with the "cold noodle king" called outside, and felt a little embarrassed for a while.

Nala himself watched the servants pack all kinds of gifts into boxes before he heaved a sigh of relief and said with a forced smile: "What else are you bringing up for the old year? It's my fault that it made you think about it. Okay, okay." Now, after working for a long time, you are also tired, go back and rest, in a few days, the prince should return to Beijing."

The family members sent back from Yinzhen said that nothing happened on the river, and they had to rest for a few days to deal with those local officials before leaving for Beijing.Although the exact return date is not yet known, it is always at the end of the month.

Nala said this to Nian's family, and then let the low-ranking ones disperse, and brought Niu Gulu and Nian to He Yinxiang's house in person to add Xiao Gege.

Mrs. Zhao Jia "hasn't come out of the moon yet" and didn't come out to meet any guests. In the entire Beizi Mansion, there was only one side Fujin who entertained the three of them obediently, accepted the gifts respectfully, and didn't know what to say.

Seeing this deserted look, Nala felt a little emotional in his heart, he turned the subject and said: "I heard that little Gege looks very much like Uncle Thirteen, why don't you lead us to have a look."

"Si Fujin came at an unfortunate time. Little Gege just fell asleep. Fujin doesn't want to be disturbed..." Fujin on the other side shrank a little, and replied in a low voice: "Then...I went back to Fujin... ..”

"Hey, that's unnecessary, we won't bother her since we're asleep," Nala said very easy-going, because of Yinzhen's relationship, she also took good care of Yinxiang's family members on weekdays, asking some of the parents' questions. If you don't have any trivial matters, you will go back home.

The three of them came here in high spirits, but they came back disappointed. Nian's face was good, but Niu Gulu's was a little displeased. Nala saw it, and didn't say much, just let them go back to their own yards .

When Yinzhen returned to Beijing, it was indeed the end of the month, and he didn't let anyone inform him after returning to the mansion, he just took a rest in the Nuan Pavilion, when the Nala family heard the news, they were stopped by Li Mo.

"The prince has ordered that no one is allowed to enter."

"Go and report to the prince, I have something to say."

Li Mo was still hesitating, but he seemed to hear the movement inside, Yinzhen opened the door by himself and came out. Seeing them, he nodded and excused himself: "Come in if you have anything to say."

Nala got up and followed him into the house. Since the others were "all right", they didn't dare to go in without authorization. Although they were a little hesitant on the face, they still squatted down and bowed to leave.

When Yinzhen entered the room, he sat down on the chair. Seeing that he was not sitting upright as usual, but was leaning on a soft cushion behind him, Nalashi panicked and said in surprise: "If the master is tired, the concubine will Come back in a few days to say hello..."

"It's okay, but I'm a little tired after sitting in the carriage for a long time." Yinzhen waved his hand and said briefly, "What's the matter at home?"

"There is nothing wrong at home, but the imperial doctor came and confirmed that my sister is pregnant in [-], and will have another child for the prince in the coming year." Nala smiled, seeing that there was no change on his face, and said: "There is still one more child." But it belongs to Thirteenth Uncle's house."

Only now did Yinzhen frowned slightly, and asked suspiciously, "What's the matter?"

Nala quickly waved his hands, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, sir, it's a happy event. My brother and sister gave birth to a daughter for Uncle Thirteen. Counting it, it will be a full moon in ten days."

Yinzhen's expression softened imperceptibly, he straightened up and smiled: "Have you ever seen it?"

"It was unfortunate that I went there that day, and I haven't seen you yet," Nala's heart was a little sour, seeing that he cared more about Yinxiang's daughter than he did about Nian's unborn child, and he didn't know whether to be happy or worried. , and finally said: "If the prince is free, let's go and have a look together."

Yinxiang's daughter was finally named "Hehui", and she grew up to be four years old in the thirteen beizi's house. Yinzhen went to the palace to beg Kangxi in person, and raised this child together with Yinxiang's other prostitute daughter. own house.

Kangxi pondered for a long time, and finally agreed, and asked Li Dequan to take a piece of high-quality jade to match him: "This was used by the emperor's grandmother before she was alive, so I will give it to the child... I know you treat Yinxiang It is extraordinary, and I will definitely treat that child well and leave it to you, so I can rest assured."

"Huang Ama..."

Yinzhen panicked, wondering if there was any other meaning in Kangxi's words, he always felt that the look in his eyes was not simple, but he didn't know if he knew something, and he was a little trembling for a while.

Kangxi waved his hands and closed his eyes slightly: "Get up, I didn't mean to blame you when I said about you and Yinxiang, but... I am very pleased. It is not easy for ordinary brothers to do what you do. ...It's even rarer...well, kneel down, I'm going to rest too."

Kangxi's rare fatigue made Yinzhen feel relieved, so he dared to take the jade pendant and said goodbye. Li Dequan led him out of the hall, seeing that he was still sweating, he couldn't help but sighed: "Si elder brother , the emperor...although he is a king, he is always a father...you don't have to be like this..."

Yinzhen paused, and couldn't help turning around to take a look, only to see Kangxi leaning sideways on the soft couch and closing his eyes to rest his mind. After this look, he realized that his beard and hair had turned gray a lot, although he was still shrewd and wise as usual, But it is also aging at an unstoppable speed.

"Eunuch Li, although it's still October, it's getting cold, Huang Ama seems to be squinting, please take a blanket..."

"Hey, this old slave knows, don't worry, fourth elder brother," Li Dequan saluted tremblingly, and said respectfully: "Si elder brother, it doesn't matter if you go to see thirteenth elder brother when you have time. Tian also asked the old slave if Brother Thirteen had any clothes for the next season..."

Although he was the chief eunuch, he was a bit presumptuous when he said these things, so he bowed to Yinzhen after speaking, and turned back.When Yinzhen heard these words, he didn't know what it was like for a moment.

Over the years, the crown prince has been abolished, and the eighth elder brother has been reprimanded. He works diligently, and in terms of power and connections, he has some useful contacts. It is not as difficult as it was a few years ago to meet Yinxiang, but at first glance Hearing that Kangxi's attitude softened, he was still a little overjoyed.

Thinking of how Yinxiang has been imprisoned for so many years, both he and himself suffered from both physical and mental suffering. Now that there is a sudden turning point, how can I not be happy in my heart, but thinking of Yinxiang's sufferings in these years, how can I not be happy? pain.
