Common child

The next day, Yinqi took Yinzhi to his room after school, and repeated what Concubine Yi had said, leaving Yinzhi speechless.

"I said, this is a private conversation between your mother and your son. You actually told me everything without changing the word. I'm under a lot of pressure, fifth brother!"

Sometimes total trust is more overwhelming than suspicion.

"I'm telling you this because I don't want you to feel that my mother is different from you in the past and think about yourself. Who told you that you are a person who takes one step and thinks ten steps. We are allies now. The most taboo thing is to doubt each other and be open and honest. It will save a lot of unnecessary trouble."

Yinzhi didn't know what to say to this person's lack of heart, so he could only say angrily: "Then what should we do now? Keep a proper distance from me?"

Yin Qi sighed, "I don't want to."

Hearing the reluctance in his tone, Yinzhi's heart trembled slightly, but he asked nonchalantly, "Why?"

"This has something to do with a long-standing youthful fantasy of mine!"

This second-hand goods.Yinzhi complained silently in his heart.

"Actually, I have always hoped to have a brother with deep feelings. In my previous life, I went to the study room. I was quite lonely. I started school late and my knowledge was not outstanding. Watching from the sidelines, I have wished for countless times that there would be someone who would go in and out with me. In this life, I have seen the prince and elder brother get along like that, and I would pretend if I didn't envy him." Yin Qi said a little desolately.

Yinzhi felt a little stuck in his heart. He thought carefully about the time when he went to the study room, but his memory of this person was very vague. That's right. At that time, all kinds of elder brothers in the study room were fighting each other. Who would treat this meek and mediocre fifth brother? Brother pay attention?I think this person's childhood was indeed lonely.

"Then... in this life, if you pay more attention to Yinzhen, won't you be able to have the deep brotherhood you hoped for?"

Yinqi immediately gave him a look of "You are so stupid", "Although I am a child now, I am really an old man inside. I think I can make Xiaojiu respect and love me, but let him be ruthless to me." It’s hard not to talk or to play together. I need to pretend to be a child to everyone now, but I can have no scruples to you, so you said let me keep a distance from you, even if it’s fake, I still I feel depressed." I am used to having a good buddy by my side, but now it is too uncomfortable for him to change back to me.

Yinzhi looked at him quietly for a while, lowered his eyes and said softly: "Then I'll think of a way."

"Hey, actually, thinking about it carefully, I think Erniang is thinking too much. Huang Ama really taboos the formation of parties among princes, but the current Kangxi Dynasty is very different from the past after all. If I ask you, what he taboos most should be the two princes. A prostitute, so close, according to the law of checks and balances, Huang Ama should find a way to separate the two, or support other sons to prevent the princelings from dominating the family. Thinking like this, Huang Ama will not shy away from others As long as this son can use him to achieve his goal, he will definitely be happy to see it come true." Yin Qi sighed, in the past, the battle between Yin's party and the princeling party was raging, and his own emperor Ama also watched it with relish. Finally reap the benefits of the fisherman.

"You're right to say that, but I don't think that elder brother didn't think of these things." Yin Zhi said, after going to the study reform, he could see that the eldest son is not easy to mess with at all, "Huang A If Ma wants to check and balance, big brother will definitely not sit idly by, so if you want to form a party now, it can be said that you are under the watchful eyes of two great gods, and if you are not careful, you will be doomed."

"I don't want to form a party, I just want to be true brothers and sisters once!" Yinqi's whole face was wrinkled, the saddest thing in the Forbidden City is that you are sincere but others are suspicious, it is simply exhausting love.

Yinzhi glanced at him sideways, and said, "I suddenly thought of a not-so-kind way."

"Ok?"

"Pull another person into our small circle." Yinzhi said slowly, "Yinyou."

Yinqi was stunned for a moment, and soon figured it out, and said with a wry smile: "A brother who was born with a foot disease and never had a chance to be a big man, and who was not outstanding at all, when he was young and didn't see his talent, no one could do it. He will try to win him over, and if he gets close, he should really care about his brother, because Yinyou has nothing to gain. With Xiaoqi around, it is really a shield to show that he is harmless." It is indeed not kind.

"It's okay if you don't want to." This is just a suggestion, not an order that must be executed.

"No, Xiaoqi is very good, and being with us can also make the servants pay more attention, so they don't dare to neglect easily." Yin Qi said.

Yinzhi frowned slightly, "You and Yinyou...have a good relationship?" This of course refers to the past.

"It's not good, it's just that we are more or less sympathetic to each other. We are also mediocre and peaceful, and we are also unknown in the upper study. We can only say that we have some empathy. We don't have any deep friendship. It's just that we accidentally met him before who was cheated by his slaves and didn't dare to speak up. I just gave him some food quietly." For the old seventh who was more silent than him, he neither liked nor disliked him, but now it's okay to stretch out his hand to protect him, just treat him as a condition to use him as a shield.

Yinzhi nodded, and didn't talk about this topic anymore. They were quiet for a while, and the two of them each took out a book, and it seemed that although there was no conversation, it would not make people feel indifferent. Yinzhi would occasionally raise his head to look at the The child leaning against the soft pillow on the kang with a lazy face, when no one noticed, there was a flash of warmth in his eyes.

The weather in May is cool and pleasant, the sun is warm, and it is most suitable for riding and shooting.

On the spacious school field, two steeds galloped at high speed, refusing to give in to each other, raising a large cloud of dust, and the people on the horses were Prince Yinfeng and the second elder brother Yinfeng.

On the other side of the shooting range, Cheng Hu was standing there watching Xiaosi, Xiaowu and Xiaoliu draw their bows and shoot arrows.

"Fourth elder brother, it's your turn." The bow horse master respectfully reminded Yinzhen who was a little dazed.

The eight-year-old Yinzhen hesitated for a while, carefully recalling the teacher's instruction just now, stepped forward to draw the bow, the posture was perfect, but... with a "buzz", an arrow was shot obliquely, and it was dangerously inserted into the edge of the target. Shaking it, it still fell to the ground.

Yinzhen's fair little face immediately flushed red, and his expression was very ashamed. Yinqi and Yinzhi beside him were gloating badly in their hearts. Historians commented that Emperor Yongzheng, who was extremely iron and blood, was actually a child who was not even good enough to bow and horse. The baby in the palace, as long as the "bow is four and a half strong", it is already very good if the arrow can hit the target. When I was an emperor, I never went hunting in Mulan.

The bow horse master seems to have gotten used to this scene a long time ago, and he corrected Yinzhen's posture of drawing the bow expressionlessly. In fact, he also knew that there was no problem with the fourth brother's posture. , but it is not their slaves who can say this or their slaves can take care of it, so I can only take care of the little elder brother's self-esteem, and let the little elder brother go down the steps if there is no problem.

Archery practice comes in turn. After Yinzhen retreated in frustration, it was Yinqi. Yinqi has always been well-behaved. He has been in school for a year. He has a good head and shoots very close to the target. Yinzhi originally wanted to hit Yinzhen again, after all This guy returned to Concubine De's side early because of his birth on Eleventh. He is no longer the adopted son of an imperial concubine, and his status is not that noble, so he doesn't have to be so scruples, but he quietly glanced at the elder brother Cheng who was watching with a smile on his side. Hu, he gave up the idea in the end, and showed the strength that a six-year-old kid who has not learned riding and archery for a long time should have, but he is still better than Yinzhen.

Yinzhen was even more frustrated, he was really not good at horseback riding and shooting, and now he can't even compare with his sixth brother, woo woo woo.When he was about to grow mushrooms all over his body, there was a sudden warm touch on the top of his head, and when he looked up, he saw Cheng Hu looking at him gently.

"Big brother."

"Yinzhen, don't worry about it. Everyone has what they are good at and what they are not good at. No one is perfect. Do you think I am not good at bowing horses too? You just need to find what you are good at and specialize in it. If you are not good at it, you will be fine. You don’t need to force yourself to be proficient.” Cheng Hu’s voice was very gentle, and he taught the younger brother with the demeanor of an elder brother, making Yinzhen who looked at him unable to help but look at him with admiration.

Unlike Yin Qi who also had a dumb face of 'the elder brother is a good brother', Yin Zhi's heart sank. Is this kind of teaching sincere or ulterior motives?Everyone has what they are good at and what they are not good at. This is true, but does the deeper meaning mean that some people are good at being kings and others are good at being ministers?

Yinzhi's conspiracy theory became more and more intense in his mind, and when it was his turn to shoot the arrow, he still hadn't recovered, so he didn't pay attention to control, raised his arm unconsciously, stretched the bow to lead the arrow, and hit the bull's-eye with a "swoosh" .

"Okay, Brother Six is ​​very talented in bows and arrows."

The bow horse master loudly praised Yinzhi's fugue, he said in his heart that it was terrible, he quickly pretended to be happy but forced himself to be humble, glanced at Chenghu, and found that the other person's expression was not surprised , he seemed to be able to see some taste of "it should be" from the other party's face, Yinzhi was taken aback, feeling a little strange in his heart.

I always feel that this elder brother seems to know everything about the personality and talents of each younger brother...

At this time, the prince and Yinzhi who had finished the horse race came towards this side. They seemed to be talking about something, but there was no smell of gunpowder. Yinzhi looked at the two former rivals, although they were not on good terms now, they were definitely more sincere than before. Getting along intimately, I still can't help but sigh that there are too many variables in the Kangxi Dynasty, or... it's because of the elder brother Chenghu.

"What were you guys talking about just now? It's rare to be so speculative." Cheng Hu looked at the two walking side by side and asked with a smile.

"Who made a deal with him? Hmph!" Yinfeng and Yinfeng said together, glanced at each other, and turned their heads with a snort at the same time.

Cheng Hu couldn't help laughing.

Seeing that young man smiling like a pear blossom, with clear and bright eyebrows and eyes, Yin Zhi couldn't help but praise him in his heart, he really is a unparalleled boy, but when he turned his head to continue practicing arrows, the corners of his eyes swept away. When the prince looked at the elder brother, a trace of confusion flashed across his eyes.

He trembled in his heart, this expression was not like the expression of a younger brother looking at his elder brother, but what is it...

"What are you thinking?" Yin Qi suddenly nudged him lightly with his elbow, Yin Zhi regained his senses in an instant, turned his head and bumped into Yin Qi's worried black pupils.

Such clarity allowed him to see his dazed expression and... the confusion in his eyes that was similar to that of the prince!

Yinzhi immediately took a big step back like a frightened bird, this time Yinqi was frightened and could only stare at him.

"I was frightened by you." Yin Zhi regained consciousness in an instant, pretending to be calm and authentic.

"I was frightened by you, okay!" Yin Qi rolled his eyes, "Why were you thinking so engrossed just now?"

"It's nothing, just some past events." Yinzhi talked about him from left to right, Yinqi saw that he didn't want to say more and didn't ask any more, shrugged, turned around to watch the crown prince and Yinzhi compare arrows.

So he didn't see Yinzhi sighed softly after he turned around, with a look of loneliness and helplessness on his face.

The author has something to say:

Fourth master's hand is weak, and the leader of the party has learned from it.
