To Yinzhen, the voice of "ninth brother" sounded faint and soft, as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight.
The Tenth Prince, who was climbing up, paused, his hair stood on end, and he slid down using all four limbs, turning his head cautiously to look; the Ninth Prince, who had already climbed to the top of the rockery, was startled and immediately did a backflip, bang bang bang bang bang...
The puppy rushed over, and his shrill cry cut through the sky: "Oh my god!"
Yinzhen sighed, thinking that it was a bad idea, and fell into the bushes with his eyes closed.
I thought I was going to be carried into the Imperial Hospital, but unexpectedly I found something soft under my butt. I reached out and touched it, and it was still warm.
"Master," Xiaogouzi was almost dead, and finally recovered. He said weakly, "Don't, don't take advantage of me..."
Yinzhen looked down and saw that his tender little paws were resting on the butt of this dog servant. His face immediately turned pale and he almost vomited the overnight meal.
Thinking of the life-saving grace of the dog servant, he almost suppressed the words "Someone, drag him away" that were about to come out of his mouth. He rummaged around and took out a bottle of ointment from his lapel and put it on the ground. Then his anger turned into a raging rage and fell on the culprit not far away.
After seeing who was coming, Yinzhen's face froze, and his anger instantly disappeared without a trace: "Big, sister-in-law."
It is said that the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother. No matter which generation, the younger brothers always have respect for the eldest wife.
When talking about a man's virtuous wife, the first person that comes to mind is the Crown Princess, and then, it's the First Wife.
As for the second sister-in-law, her manners were impeccable and she was always virtuous, but if you were to say that she helped the second brother a lot, he would not be able to see it. The couple were at best just respectful to each other, but when it came to arguments, it was like a mess.
It’s different with the eldest sister-in-law. How many messes has she helped the eldest brother deal with
The eldest brother was rampaging, and she was cleaning up after him, and she also tried her best to give birth to children for him. In order to continue the family line, she gave birth to Hongyu, but in the end she became ill and even lost her life.
Yinzhen still remembered that not long after his eldest brother was imprisoned by the old man, his eldest sister-in-law passed away. That day, the crying sounds from the Prince of Zhi's mansion were heartbreaking.
Even the mynah bird said that the old man had chosen a good wife for the eldest brother.
The couple got together, but unfortunately it ended like this. Who wouldn’t sigh
Unlike my own wife, Dong E, that unlucky woman!
… Stop, stop.
Thinking of this, the Ninth Prince came back to his senses, smiled obediently, and stepped forward to pay his respects in a proper manner: "It's my brother's fault. Did I scare my eldest sister-in-law and my little niece?"
Seeing Yinzhen rolling down, the eunuchs and palace maids around him were scared out of their wits. The first wife also lost her voice and almost fell to the ground.
Not noticing the word "little niece", seeing that he was standing there in good health, the eldest wife pulled him over with trembling hands, looked him up and down, and breathed a sigh of relief, "Not bad, not bad. It's my sister-in-law's fault. I shouldn't have said anything... But climbing the rockery was too much. If Concubine Yi knew about it, I wouldn't know how heartbroken she would be!"
Yin'e hurried over and rolled his eyes at his ninth brother, "What little niece? You've been exposed!"
"Sister-in-law, Brother Nine has thick skin and is very resistant to falls." He chuckled, and all the fat on his round face showed through his laughter. "Also, Mother Yi won't feel bad..."
Seeing that his true colors were about to be exposed, Yinzhen stepped hard on his foot. With a "wow" sound, Yin'e opened his mouth and stopped talking.
"Tenth brother, why don't you listen to advice for such a dangerous behavior?" The two six-year-old children opened their innocent eyes, each one was white and tender and cute. Thinking of the shock after being touched, the eldest wife couldn't help but say earnestly, "Sister-in-law will send someone to send you back to the palace. You must also tell the two noble mothers about what happened today."
"Sister-in-law, no need..."
"What do you mean you don't need to use it? Madam, why are you admiring the flowers here?" The eldest prince's voice came from afar.
Just looking at Yinzhi's appearance, he is handsome and tall, and is truly a handsome man.
The eldest wife paused for a moment, and was about to show a gentle demeanor, but then she remembered what Concubine Hui had said to her this morning, sighed softly, and sneered in her heart.
Unexpectedly, the ninth and tenth brothers rolled their eyes in unison!
She really expressed her feelings.
The first wife liked Yin'e and Yin'e more and more, thinking that the two noble mothers knew how to raise children. Turning her head, she smiled and whispered softly: "Master, I am admiring chrysanthemums with my ninth and tenth brothers."
The eldest prince had a smile on his face, but his expression darkened when he heard the words. In an instant, his face turned as dark as death, as if he had eaten a fly.
These two evil stars were born to oppose him. They would always "accidentally" sneak into his yard and take away the pony he had picked with great difficulty. That would be fine, but they also sneaked into the study and stole his policy papers, causing the emperor to scold him!
What's even more outrageous is that when they were getting married and making trouble in the bridal chamber, after everyone had left, the two of them actually squatted in the corner and poked a hole! If the kitchen staff hadn't sent food over and discovered it, would he still have saved his face
Unfortunately, both of them were the imperial concubine's sons, so he couldn't beat or scold them, and there was no evidence to complain. Yinzhi was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
Yinreng, the black-hearted man, couldn't beat him in riding and shooting, so he sent his helpers to harass him. Thinking of this, the eldest prince glanced at his brothers who were as close to his legs, and smiled: "Fujin, you are a twin, if you get hit, someone can't afford to pay for it... As for this flower, I will accompany you to appreciate it."
The first wife was surprised, and then stopped laughing, "Master, what are you talking about?"
When did he become so mean to his six-year-old brother
Before entering the palace, she had vaguely heard rumors of discord between the Yanxi Palace and the Yikun Palace. But how could this "discord" be passed down to the next generation
It was the first time for her to be so close to her ninth and tenth brothers.
…
Haha, this fake smile is so ugly, who are you doing it for
Yinzhen and Yin'e looked at each other implicitly, tears welled up in their eyes at the same time, and they stretched out their little hands at the same time and tugged at the sleeves of the eldest lady's wife.
The tenth prince timidly called out, "Sister-in-law."
The Ninth Prince lowered his head sadly: "Brother hates us, I won't cause trouble for Sister-in-law..."
Under the eldest prince's fiery gaze, the first wife suppressed the corner of her mouth and said in a cold manner: "No reward, please do as you please!"
******
Half an hour later.
Yinzhen was standing on tiptoe, preparing to sneak into the Yikun Palace, when suddenly, a clear and distant voice sounded: "Stop."
The prince was wearing an apricot yellow court robe, no longer as immature as he was in his childhood. He was only sixteen years old, with an upright figure, a handsome face, and just stared at him.
"The clothes are disheveled and the grass is all over the place." After taking a closer look, the prince said gently, "Tell me, where did you and Xiao Shi get into trouble again?"
The word “again” in “…” is well used.
Yinzhen didn't say anything, he looked up at the sky and pretended to be dumb. The prince didn't force him, just smiled and said, "Fourth brother just finished practicing a scroll of calligraphy, and recently I have some free time..."
"Brother, I'm going to teach Brother Big a lesson to vent his anger!" Before the Crown Prince could finish, Yin'er's face suddenly changed, and he quickly confessed in a low voice, "Sister-in-law frowned and looked at him coldly. Tsk tsk tsk tsk, he has lost all his dignity."
At the end of the conversation, Yinzhen no longer felt guilty. He just felt relaxed all over and waited happily for his second brother's praise.
He was able to sneak away and get rid of the maid sent by my sister-in-law. Only I have such a smart brain to come up with this idea.
Hearing this, the prince was silent for a long while, then asked him, "Will you go with me to pay your respects to Yi'er Niang?"
"You are about to go to school, how can you stick to your mother every day?" Yinzhen said with a lot of reason, turned on his toes, and turned to escape, "I will go back to my brother's place to study."
The prince caught a glimpse of his little action, raised his eyebrows, and finally mercifully let him go: "Go."
He Zhuer opened his mouth and hesitated several times to speak.
The prince glanced at him lightly, his eyes conveying a message: "Do you want me to be so talkative?"
He Zhuer had no choice but to mourn for the Ninth Prince from the bottom of his heart.
Today is the day off for the upper study, and the Crown Prince had asked the Fourth Prince early on to urge his lazy ninth brother to practice calligraphy.
I guess once he returns to the yard, Master Jiu will find a surprise...right
******
"Greetings to Mother Yi. Has Yinzhen not stood up yet?" After paying his respects as usual, the prince would always ask about his younger brother, the Eleventh Prince.
"It's still early, I'll let him sleep a little longer." Yun Xiu smiled, holding Nanny Dong's hand and sitting down, "He's still growing, even your Royal Father wouldn't want to call him."
The imperial concubine said this with a smile on her face, as if time had not left any traces of carving on her face. Her eyebrows were like distant mountains, her eyes were like peach blossoms, her eyes were bright and her teeth were white. She was as beautiful as before, but with a little more charm than before.
"Mother Yi, I just ran into Xiaojiu..."
Yun Xiu paused, her eyebrows slightly raised, her eyes filled with sharpness: "What trouble have you gotten yourself into again?"
"I didn't get into trouble. I just accompanied my sister-in-law to appreciate the flowers." The prince coughed lightly and said with a smile, "Now I'm going to my brother's place to study hard."
Are you studying hard
After hearing what the prince said, Yun Xiu was extremely suspicious, but he did not ask any further questions.
But, how could that devilish man Yinzhen have the time to appreciate flowers peacefully, especially his twin sister's wife? !
Why doesn't she believe it
Before she could ask, she heard the prince say quietly, "Mother Yi, I want to get married."
At the dining table, Yunxiu's hand holding the chopsticks shook, and the soup splashed out.
******
Because Concubine Yi sent someone to invite him, Kangxi arrived at the Yikun Palace at noon.
Liang Jiugong skillfully directed the palace servants to carry the memorials. He had now mastered this process quite well.
On the sedan chair, the emperor, who was becoming more and more majestic, stroked his chin and asked him, "You said that the imperial concubine was looking for me. What is it about?"
Liang, the experienced steward, replied calmly: "I don't know, the imperial concubine must be missing you."
Kangxi hummed and suppressed the upward curve of his lips.
Who would have thought that what was coming to her was not the thought that she could express, but a direct question: "When will the emperor put the selection of the Crown Princess on the agenda?"
