Returning Pearls to Yongping and Qianlong

Yongzhen returned from the upper study to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and stood at the door, a little lost in thought.In the end, he laughed at himself, and then stepped into the Hall of Mental Cultivation: "My son kowtowed to Huang Ama, Huang Ama is auspicious!" There was no hint of clues in his tone and demeanor.

"Get up!" Unsurprisingly, there was no trace of killing intent on Qianlong's body, and his tone was flat and true. If Yongzheng was not sure that he did not sleep all night last night, otherwise he would have thought he was just It was just a dream!

Qianlong's heart was also very heavy. From the time he left Yongzheng's bedroom until now, all the determinations Qianlong had made to stay away from Yongzheng stood in front of him.

There was no way for him to tell Yong Xin to move out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, or even to stop coming.Because he knew very well that as soon as he let go and let Yongxin leave, if it wasn't necessary, Yongxin would never appear in front of him in such ordinary days from now on.

Qianlong finally admitted that Yongzhen, in fact, did not care about his attitude all the time.Yong Xin will not refuse his closeness, and Yong Xin will accept his alienation even more naturally.Frustration invaded his heart, the feeling of struggling, coupled with this ungraspable emotion, made his mood even more confusing.

Over the past few days, they have become very used to this way of getting along.Qianlong approved his memorial, and Yongzhen also read the memorial in front of him, and practiced his calligraphy by the way.From the very beginning of the memorial, some very insignificant trivial matters, to now some important decisions of various ministries, after all, it is not static. After all, some things, as time goes by, either reveal their true colors or change beyond recognition.

These days, when Qianlong met various ministers in this Hall of Mental Cultivation, Yongzheng took the initiative to find an excuse to resign.He was not interested, and was exposed to everyone's probing eyes, especially those ministers in the court who were thinking about it.It's not that he doesn't like these things, but his situation is a bit awkward. If Qianlong didn't hide from the ministers when he summoned him, I'm afraid Qianlong didn't know what to think?

Fortunately, he usually came in the afternoon. Except for the three or two times when he came over urgently at this time, there were not many people who came to see the emperor at this time.

But today, just as Yongzheng sat down and hadn't moved his pen, he heard the announcement that the sixth elder brother would see him.Yongzhen got up and was about to avoid it when he heard Qianlong say: "No need, just listen here!"

Although Qianlong said that he no longer looked at Yongzhen blatantly, but his peripheral vision has been watching Yongzhen's every move.No, just as Yongzheng made a move, even before he opened his mouth, Qianlong had already noticed it.

Yong Rong thought about it, the sixth elder brother Yong Rong is coming at this moment, I am afraid it is only the Queen Mother's business, this errand was obtained by Huang Ama from the fifth elder brother, thinking about this matter, it is not a big deal If you can't do something, you don't insist on it.Although Yongzheng is not likely to have a good relationship with Qianlong now, he also does not want to be unhappy because of some trivial matters.

Yongzhen did not sit back, but stood and waited for the sixth elder brother to enter the hall. When the sixth elder brother saw Yongzhen, he was obviously taken aback, and then immediately saluted Qianlong.After the sixth elder brother finished his salute, Yong Xin also said a thousand words: "Sixth elder brother!"

Yong Rong also returned the salute quite politely, neither showing arrogance nor timidity.

"I would like to report to Emperor Ama, I came here today because I found that there were mistakes in the report submitted by the fifth elder brother last time, because it was related to the work of welcoming Lafayette back to the palace. I didn't dare to neglect, so I immediately Come and report to Huang Ama." Yong Rong used the fifth elder brother instead of the fifth elder brother, which reflected from the side that the relationship between the two is not very good.

Qianlong didn't seem to notice it: "Huh? Continue."

Sixth elder brother thought that the emperor would angrily reprimand him for filing a complaint. After all, it is not unheard of before, but this matter is related to the face of the royal family, so how can they not report it because they are afraid of reprimand.Unexpectedly, Huang Ama's reaction was so flat.

Although a little surprised, the sixth elder brother did not show this emotion, but continued to say: "After my son took over this matter, I checked everything and found that the fifth elder brother submitted the memorial In the middle, the day when Lafayette will return to Beijing is not certain. My son will send people to inquire again, and Lafayette will be able to return to the capital the day after tomorrow, not the day after tomorrow! My son is thinking about the affairs in the palace, and I am afraid that I have to arrange it as soon as possible. Ama decides!"

When Yongzhen heard about this matter, it was indeed a matter of urgency, especially now that the affairs of the harem are under the control of the Empress. Under the circumstance that Ma didn't like it very much, she took the queen's seat because of the support of the queen mother. If there was a gap between the Lafayette and Lafayette because of an intelligence error, it would be too wronged.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but show a grateful expression, this matter, he owed Sixth Brother a favor.

"Well, you did a good job. For this matter, you can adjust the reception work outside the palace. As for the affairs in the palace, I will inform the queen. I will count it as your credit for this matter, and I will Remember." Having said this, Qianlong was finally able to take a look at Yongzheng openly, and naturally saw Yongzheng's grateful expression, his eyes darkened, and sure enough, the empress probably meant family affection to Yongzheng. !

"I don't dare to take the credit, it's my job." Sixth elder brother didn't dare to take credit for it. When he took over this matter, he felt a little apprehensive.This is done well, thanks to the early credits of the fifth elder brother, if it is not done well, it is because I screwed up!But I didn't expect that the loophole of the fifth elder brother was actually found during this accident, and I dare not give credit, as long as Huang Ama remembers that this matter was done by him, and not by the fifth elder brother. .

Everything seemed to be the same as usual, nothing had changed.Originally, when Qianlong went to Kunning Palace, he would definitely ask Yongzheng to go with him.But today, Qianlong did not speak, and went to Kunning Palace alone.

When the queen heard that Qianlong was coming, she immediately started looking for Yongzheng's figure, but she couldn't find Yongzheng, but the queen couldn't ask.With only a stomach full of questions, he was carefully served by others.

After Qianlong told the empress about Yong Rong's words, the empress' face changed a little. After all, when the Lafayette came back, everything in the Palace of Compassionate Ning, except for the ones that the Lafayette was used to, had to be carefully considered.And the timing of this release must be appropriate, if there is no sixth elder brother, I am afraid that she may be in a hurry.

After Qianlong finished speaking, he stopped talking and just drank tea in silence, a little lost in thought!Seeing that the emperor is not here, the queen didn't feel as dissatisfied as before, but just complained, can you go to another place in a daze?The emperor doesn't speak, and the queen doesn't take the initiative to bring up the topic. The two are relatively speechless, but they are thinking about their own things.

I'm afraid the two of them don't know, but now they are thinking of the same person, but their moods are different.

Qianlong stayed in the Kunning Palace that night, did nothing, just waited for the queen to fall asleep, then carefully looked at the face of the queen, looking for places similar or the same as Yongzheng, and was dazed. .

This face, at first glance, does seem to be somewhat similar to Yongzheng in some places, but Qianlong is getting more and more different the more he looks at it, and the more he looks, the more he divides it. The eyebrows, eyes, lips, and nose are all different, and there is no similarity. The place.

Qianlong closed his eyes, Yongzheng's smiling face, bright eyebrows, gloomy eyes, and condensed gaze, inch by inch, were very clear.Open your eyes again, the queen's face, there is no similarity at all, those vivid faces when you close your eyes, when you open your eyes and see the queen's face, it is like a dream that is separated by a long distance , unreal and terrible.

Qianlong clenched his right fist tightly and used all the strength in his body. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to be sure of his heart, as if he had entered some ridiculous quagmire and wanted to break free, but he was reluctant.If you don't break free, it's torture again!

Finally, Qianlong couldn't help but sat up, the queen asked in a daze, and Qianlong replied: "It's nothing, you go to sleep!"

Then he got out of bed, put on some clothes casually, went to the outside room, and asked casually: "Where did Brother Twelve live before?"

Under the leadership of the court lady, Qianlong came to the place where Yongzhen lived, waved away the others, and Qianlong went in alone.The decoration inside is very simple, it can't be seen that there is no one living there, even the pens and ink on the table are well prepared, as if the owner just went out and comes back from time to time.

Flipping through the things on Yongzheng's bookshelf casually, and then carefully looking at everything, put it back to the original place.Such caution is not his style at all.

Feeling relieved of the dullness in this room, I walked to Yongxin's desk. The book turned upside down was a book of poetry. I held it in my hand and was about to read it. A piece of paper fell from the book's folder When I picked it up and looked at it, I couldn't help being a little shocked and thoughtful.

A Ling character is different from Yongzhen's gradually mature and elegant calligraphy. This character is written heavily, with a hint of murderous intent.Qianlong guessed that Yongzhen probably knew who was going to kill him.

As for the empress, Qianlong didn't think that Yongzheng let the empress know about it. If the empress knew, it would be more than just killing a few slaves.

Looking at the word in his hand, Qianlong felt a little tight in his chest. For that matter, he put Concubine Shu into the cold palace, and even the concubine didn't move at that time. Yongzhen presumably watched it without saying a word. He couldn't tell the queen. , and I can’t tell others that I’m depressed by myself, and I don’t know what kind of mood I was feeling at that time?

Thinking of Yongzheng's always smiling face in front of the queen, and his always expressionless face in front of him, Qianlong sighed, put away the paper, put the book back in its original place, and left this place.

This is Yongxin's past, the past without his participation, his situation, mood, and expression here are beyond his knowledge.Only this word can slightly guess Yongxi's mood at that time.

Qianlong felt that his current situation seemed to be sinking in a void, and he didn't even know where he sank...——
