Common child

Chapter 18 18. Undercurrent

The eleventh elder brother Yin, praised by Kangxi for his intelligence since he was a child, now enters the upper study room, showing his sharpness, but in just a few days, the eyes of all the masters have shifted from the most outstanding sixth elder brother Yinzhi to As for himself, no one is perfect, he seems to have no talent for horse riding, or he is a little afraid of horses.

Even so, the limelight was strong enough, and everyone in the palace couldn't help but wonder if Concubine Tong lost her sacred heart not long ago, and now she wants Elder Brother to earn it back.

It's just that the elder brothers who are in the study room don't think so. Everyone agrees that Eleventh elder brother's outstanding performance is simply to attract the fourth elder brother Yinzhen's attention!

Anyone with eyes can see that Eleven is all kinds of clingy to Yinzhen. It's good that they are not in the same room during class, but when class is over, they will properly get together in front of Yinzhen and use all kinds of reasons. Breaking the "two-person world" between Yinzhen and Yinhu, not to mention making the fourth elder brother more depressed, but facing the young brother who is full of admiration, even though he has treated him as coldly as possible, he still can't do too much.

The strange thing is, compared to Yinzhen's depression and even depression, Yinhu is very calm, even if he is always squeezed by eleven in class, and the master chooses to turn a blind eye because eleven is the son of the imperial concubine One eye may add fuel to the flames, making Ba Prince's life in the study quite sad, but he still endures silently, making Eleven more arrogant.

However, Jiu Shi, who was studying with them, made a bet in private, betting when Yinhu would get mad and get back on the stage. They learned from Yinhu's profound lesson what it means to be more patient and get revenge. more ruthless.

Wuliuqi adhered to the principle of watching a play and was happy to watch from the sidelines. Yinqi and Yinzhi were quite happy to see Yinzhen's displeasure.

The days flowed slowly amidst the different moods of the elder brothers.

In March of the 28th year of Kangxi, Bingxu, it was returned to Beijing.

Kangxi's second year's southern tour finally passed, and Kangxi and his older brothers also returned to court, which also affected some people.

Kangxi traveled for two months, came back to rest for a few days, and then went to the study for his son to take the school exam. It just so happened that today he discussed politics with [-]. The three older ones also expressed that they had not seen their younger brothers for many days, and they missed them very much. Kangxi With a wave of his hand, he took the three eldest sons to brush the younger sons.

Kangxi first watched everyone's study status outside the window silently, nodded in satisfaction, then gathered the two classes of brothers together, waited for everyone to see the ceremony, asked the masters, and began to ask questions one by one.

"Yes, it seems that you are not slack, but you still need to work hard and not relax. You need to know that learning is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. Learn a lot from the three brothers and guard against arrogance and impetuosity." The minister still has a strict temper, but because the three eldest sons are good enough, he is relatively lenient towards the little radish heads in front of him.

"Follow the teachings of Huang Ama."

"Yinyu, Yin." After Kangxi finished his school exams, everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the emperor call his name in a flat tone.

Yinqi's heart skipped a beat, feeling uneasy, Yinzhi seemed to feel it, and quietly held his hand, the familiar temperature made Yinqi calm down, and waited and watched.

"My son is here." Jiushi came out obediently, bowing his head to listen to the training with an extremely obedient appearance.

"Master Zhang can't walk very well now, why do you think?"

The two immediately knelt down and said in unison: "My son is stubborn, please punish Huang Ama."

Kangxi snorted coldly, "It's time to punish you. You have no respect for playing tricks on your master. If you don't punish you, I'm afraid that the elder brothers who will go to school in the future will follow the same example and ruin the classroom atmosphere. Don't do it for today's lunch." After eating, go to the corridor and kneel until the afternoon class begins, and then copy the Analects one hundred times and hand it in tomorrow. Are you convinced?" The cold tone of the voice made the younger brothers tremble.

"Huang Ama, calm down." Yinqi suddenly knelt down, and the movement was so fast that Yin Zhila couldn't hold back, "Although the nine and ten younger brothers are stubborn, they have already changed their ways. I hope Huang Ama will let them go. Besides, as an elder brother, Erchen failed to do his best to supervise, and he was also at fault. The weather is so hot now, and the ninth and tenth brothers may not be able to bear it when they are young, and Erchen is willing to take his place."

As soon as Yinqi said this, the elder brothers [-] couldn't stand by and idly knelt down to help intercede.

Eleven, the only one who didn't kneel, seemed a bit abrupt. Kangxi glanced at him, and Eleven's heart arose.

"Yin, what do you think about this?" Kangxi asked him as expected.

Eleven had a lot of thoughts, and looked at the people kneeling on the ground. He had offended Long Yan not long ago, so he had to be very careful when answering at this time. He didn't know what the two of them had done, but just a few words from Kangxi Guess one or two, looking at Kangxi's expression now, he doesn't know whether he is really angry or wants to expose it, he can't help hesitating, but he also thinks that when he made the teacher make things difficult for Yinhu in class, the two of them would also disrupt the situation from time to time, so he felt uncomfortable , Thinking like this, he slowly opened his mouth and said: "Returning to Huang Ama, I don't know what happened. It's just that the ninth brother and the tenth brother really made a fool of the master, and they did something wrong. Since they did something wrong, they should be punished." .ā€

Kangxi remained silent, and the surrounding atmosphere suddenly became heavy.

"Eleventh Brother is right. If you make mistakes, you should be punished. That's the truth." The young man's voice was unhurried, with a habitual ending, revealing the nobility he had cultivated over the years. He was not a prince. Who is it again.

It's just that when he opened his mouth, it made Wu, Liu and Shi Yi feel uneasy. Yin Qi was worried, wondering if Jiu Shi offended this master when he was not paying attention, and it would be a big trouble; I find it strange that it is not surprising that the crown prince said this, but what is strange is that he would go along with Eleven's words. According to his observations all the time, the two sons of the eldest son did not have much affection for the son of Concubine Tong; Li immediately took precautions, what happened on the southern tour was vivid in his mind, he realized that he should just follow the crowd and beg for mercy, why should he stand out from the crowd.

"I just heard that Yinqi has already taught Yinzhen and Yin a lesson, and they both confessed their mistakes to Mr. Zhang. It has been more than a month since the incident. Huang Ama's further investigation at this time will somewhat hurt the hearts of the younger brothers." Sure enough. Well, the prince didn't even think about agreeing to Eleven's statement, and then he talked about love.

"Huang Ama, the prince's words are reasonable. I heard that Yinqi slapped these two brats. Presumably, he must have lost his memory, so let's just forget it." Yinqi also opened at this time. In his opinion, children are naughty, and since they have been spanked, there is no need to hold on to them.

"The words of the prince and the second brother are so strange. The fifth brother taught the ninth brother and the tenth brother that it is the elder brother's discipline. Now what Huang Ama wants to punish is the father's teaching responsibility. How can they be confused?" Seeing that everyone was defending [-], he couldn't help but feel a little anxious, he figured it out, he had offended everyone who begged for mercy by his actions, in this case, it would be better to just sit down on the punishment, and feel more at ease in his heart.

These words were alluding to Yin Qi's usurping patriarchal power, Yin Zhi couldn't help squinting his eyes, and immediately said: "The eleventh brother's words are inappropriate. The father shared his worries to show his filial piety. Kuanghuang Ama also said that the elder brother in the study room should be responsible for guiding and teaching, supporting each other, full of brotherhood, the eleventh brother has not been in the study room for a long time, no wonder it is not clear."

Eleven's complexion changed slightly. This Yinzhi was mocking him for not being brotherly. He couldn't help but look at Kangxi quietly. What happened during the southern tour could be regarded as the result of disrespecting his elder brother. It's just that Kangxi's calm appearance is really Makes people uneasy.

"Huang Ama, according to what the sixth brother said, the eighth brother and the ninth and tenth brothers are studying in the same room, and the responsibility for teaching and guiding should fall on him. The starlings must be at fault too." Eleven felt that the matter had come to this point, it was one who could pull one, and one who was unlucky.

"Brother Eleven's words are wrong. You were not in the study at the time, so you didn't know the situation very well. What you don't see is not the truth. If you make unreasonable inferences, you may be suspected of trapping your elder brother in unrighteousness. It's better to be cautious in your words." Yin Zhen frowned. , the tone was faintly severe, which made Eleven's expression even worse.

These people talked to each other, and it seemed a little noisy for a while. Kangxi frowned slightly, and was about to speak, when suddenly a few chuckles sounded, everyone immediately fell silent, and followed the sound to see who it was So bold, I didn't expect it to be the eldest brother Cheng Hu, with curved eyebrows and lips, and such a gentle and soft appearance, which is indescribably unparalleled.

"What are you laughing at, brother?" The prince looked over and asked softly, with an imperceptible tenderness in his tone.

Yin Zhi was slightly surprised, this address is too intimate, it is okay to call in private, calling 'brother' instead of 'big brother' in front of all the brothers, this clearly shows that the two are close, you must know that there is a 'second brother' standing beside him 'Well, and I don't know if it's an illusion, but I always feel that the prince's feelings for this elder brother are a bit... hard to say.

"I laugh at Emperor Ama's southern tour for two months. As soon as I came back, I made fun of my younger brothers. It's really...hehe." Cheng Hu laughed again, and he could talk and laugh so softly under such an atmosphere, this elder brother It's also really amazing.

"Chenghu, I'm teaching your two younger brothers a lesson. How can you say it's a trick?" Kangxi raised his eyebrows, his expression of neither joy nor anger made people very stressed.

Cheng Hu was not affected at all, and still laughed at Yan Yan, "Why didn't you just play tricks? First, I tested my younger brothers, and each of them got some rewards, which means that you are satisfied with your younger brothers, Huang Ama." .Besides, if you really want to punish the ninth and tenth younger brothers, you can just punish them directly. Ama lifted it high and put it down gently. Moreover, the fact that the ninth and tenth brothers can be protected by the older brothers shows that their stubbornness is harmless. If they are really stubborn, they will naturally be kept at a distance. Ama's heart is like a mirror, it's just that she is very happy to see this brother and friend, but she just wants to see how helpless the younger brothers are, so what is it not like playing tricks?"

"It's such a coincidence to open your mouth. If you say it like this, even if I want to lift it up, I have to put it down gently." Kangxi laughed suddenly, and he could hear the pleasant taste, and the atmosphere in the room immediately relaxed. "Everyone get up. Yinyuyin, I just took the school exam and you answered fluently. It can be seen that you have studied hard. The matter of playing tricks on the master is over, but if you do it again in the future, you will be punished severely."

"My son, I thank the Emperor Ama."

"If you want to thank you, thank you big brother." Kangxi glanced at Chenghu, and said it in a pampering and funny way.

"Thank you for what I did. I should thank all of you brothers. If Huang Ama hadn't been satisfied with their pleading, I would be useless even if I have a lot of tongue." Cheng Hu waved his hands.

Having said that, Jiushi still thanked everyone one by one, and when the matter finally came to an end, Kangxi was about to show off, but before he left, he glanced at Eleven and said softly: "You have to have a good time with your brothers. Let's get along." Then he left.

Eleven's face immediately turned pale, and he stared at Kangxi's back and wanted to chase him out, but the crown prince and Cheng Hu just happened to be walking side by side, which just blocked his way, and when he met the similar gentle gaze of the two, his complexion became even worse up.

"Eleventh brother, remember Huang Ama's teachings and listen carefully to 'brothers'." The prince smiled with his lips curled up, but it didn't feel warm at all.

"Thank you...follow the prince's brother's words." Eleven lowered his head and said softly, with a slight tremor in his voice.

"Prince, let's go." Cheng Hu said, the prince ignored Eleven as soon as he heard it, and the two brothers left.

Yinxuan looked at Eleven mockingly, and turned to Yinhu. He liked this younger brother who was raised under the name of his mother-in-law very much. He touched Yinhu's head and asked softly: "Eighth brother, it's time for lunch, let's go with second brother to Yanxi Palace to ask for a meal, Tell me about this period of time, too, okay?"

Yinhu first looked at Yinzhen, saw the latter nodded to him, then turned around and smiled at Yinzhen: "Naturally, Yinhu misses his second brother too."

Why do you want to see your fourth brother first before agreeing to me?Yinxuan felt a little upset, this younger brother really got on better with Yinzhen, his second elder brother was almost incomparable, obviously he has always been very protective of him, could it be because of the big age gap?Thinking about it like this, Yinxuan felt that there was nothing he could do, so he could only push away, and left with Yinhu.

The rest of the people also took a look at Eleven by coincidence, and then they left one after another together. Yinzhen was the last to go, and hesitantly looked at Eleven who was still standing there looking extremely lonely, thinking of the past Concubine Tong's love, she wanted to say a few words, but then she thought about what Eleven had done to Yinhu, and finally pursed her lips, and passed him without saying a word.

Eleven was left standing in the room, feeling lonely all by himself. After a long time, he suddenly chuckled.

"Why did things just happen like this..." Her voice was trembling, and there was a hint of despair.
