On the second day of Guanyin's birthday, Kangxi personally took Defei to Qin'an Temple to incense Guanyin. The newly replaced portrait of Guanshiyin in the hall has not yet been opened. After Kangxi and Defei knelt down before the confession, Li Dequan said loudly to the little eunuch: "Open the painting."
Two little eunuchs carefully grabbed the string that bound the scroll, and slowly pulled the scroll downward. At this moment, the fourteenth eldest brother rushed in from outside the hall and shouted anxiously: "No!"
Everyone in the hall was shocked, and turned their heads to look over. The fourteenth elder brother raised his eyes to look at the newly unfolded Guanyin statue, his face was obviously taken aback. Kangxi couldn't help but frowned, and asked him: "What is this?"
The fourteenth elder brother suddenly came back to his senses. With an idea, he lowered his head and replied carefully: "My son is thinking about visiting Guanshiyin Bodhisattva with Huang Ama and Eniang, but he was too late. I was afraid that he would not be able to catch up. In a hurry, he called out, wanting to call Huang Ama and E Niang and other ministers."
Seeing that he was acting so irritably, Kangxi felt a little unhappy in his heart, but he was unwilling to reprimand him at this time, so he didn't say anything. He turned back and continued to pay homage to Guanshiyin. He looked up but was stunned. I saw a water stain on the portrait, and even Guan Shiyin's head and face had been soaked and blurred.
"This... what's going on?"
Li Dequan hurriedly stepped forward to check it. After he took a closer look at the portrait, and then looked up at the roof, he turned around and reported: "If you go back to the emperor, it rained a bit last night, this Qin'an Temple It has been in disrepair for many years, and water leaks on it, which has broken the portrait.
Kangxi was furious when he heard the words, "What the hell does this house of internal affairs eat? The house is leaking like this, and it is not repaired? Such a good day is ruined by them. The decree goes on and everyone hits 30. board."
Li Dequan responded, and stepped out carefully. When I got out of the Qin'an Temple, I saw Qingchuan waiting in the corridor. Li Dequan saw that there was no one on the left and right, so he walked over and whispered: "The Bafu Jin materials are good, the painting has been changed. Fortunately, you let The old slave exposed the tiles on the roof. It rained a little last night, and the water leaked all the time, so he broke the painting and the emperor didn't notice it."
Qingchuan also breathed a sigh of relief, "This is good, this is good."
Li Dequan deliberately flattered her, so he said: "The Eight Fortunes Jin is really smart, and I can think of such a way."
Qingchuan sighed in a low voice, "It's not smart, it's no way. Yesterday I kept thinking, is it reliable to put all my hopes on Elder Fourteen? What if he and his mother are of the same mind? Concubine De Fei is usually cautious and has a good reputation. She must think carefully about one thing she has to do, and think about everything. How can she be stumped by changing a painting? So no matter what she hangs on it is true. The painting is still a fake painting. Destroying the painting is the most reliable way. Anyway, the eighth brother’s painting is already painted, and the water leaking on the eaves is not to blame on him. The only thing that lacks virtue is that the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs have to suffer some crimes. , But for self-protection, there is no other way."
Li Dequan smiled and said, "The Eight Fortunes Jin is really thoughtful."
Qingchuan thought for a while, and then confessed: "Don't tell Ba elder brother about this. If he asks about it, you will say that elder brother 14 succeeded in protecting the painting and nothing happened."
Li Dequan heard it but didn't understand it, and looked at Qingchuan in confusion.
Qingchuan smiled faintly, and said, "Well, it's enough for a woman to point the country behind. Don't beat a man in the scene, it's not good. Do you understand?"
Li Dequan nodded hurriedly and smiled: "The old slave understands, the old slave will go to work first."
Qingchuan nodded, glanced at Qin'an Temple again, and turned back.
In Kangxi's place, because the incident happened on the day of Guanyin's birthday, and the slave was punished for it, he felt a little unlucky in his heart. After only staying in the Qin'an Hall for a while, he went to the Qing Palace.
Concubine De sent away Kangxi and instructed the court ladies and eunuchs in the palace: "You all go out, my palace and the fourteenth eldest brother will be here for a while."
Everyone didn't dare to defy, and they all stepped back carefully. After a while, only Concubine De and Elder Fourteen were left in the hall. De Fei turned her head to look at her son, and saw that he was staring at herself angrily, and asked: "You all know?"
The fourteenth elder brother smiled mockingly, and replied: "Emanny kept it well, I didn’t know about it, but when I changed clothes at Eniang’s place yesterday, some things were left at Eniang’s place, Erchen. I just thought about getting it back by myself, but I didn't expect to bump into Jade's handling of Mynah's painting. Only then did Erchen realize that Eniang was very powerful, and he had already replaced the painting in his hand.
After hearing this, Consort De could not help sighing, and wanted to explain to him, she just opened her mouth: "Old Fourteen..."
The fourteenth elder brother interrupted her and said disappointedly: "I thought my mother was a kind, virtuous, and well-knowing person. I didn't expect all this to be an illusion, an illusion..."
When De Fei heard him say this, she couldn't help but angrily and anxiously said, "Son, you can't say that to me, everything E Niang does is for you."
The fourteenth elder brother sneered and asked, "Do you want to hurt my brother for me?"
Concubine De conscientiously persuaded: "You are young and don't know how sinister people are. Do you think they are brothers when they are good to you? In the palace, there are knives hidden in the laughter, and there are few things that brothers cannibalize?"
Unexpectedly, the fourteenth elder brother shouted: "I don't care what other people are like, but mynah is a good person. He communicates with me sincerely, and I can feel it. I don't allow anyone to hurt him, no!"
Concubine De concubine almost lost her anger. She only felt that her son had never experienced setbacks since he was a child. This has developed such a simple temperament. She angrily said: "You are facing your mother for an outsider. Screaming, then, your mother, for the past twenty years of loving care and sincerity to you, can't you feel it?"
The fourteenth eldest brother knew how much Eniang loves him. Seeing her anger, he knelt down and said: "I know Eniang loves me and thinks everything about me, but I don’t want to be an emperor, and I don’t want to step on it. The blood of my own brothers is climbing up, I just want to live happily, get along with my brothers, and live a life that has a clear conscience. Mother, can you make me perfect?"
De Fei shook her head disappointedly, "Son, you are so naive. This world has always been a winner and loser. How can there be such a beautiful thing? You let them protect them today, and when will they do it? The emperor, what will you do to you, do you know? It doesn’t matter if Eniang is old and dead. But you are still young, Eniang hopes to see you have sons, grandchildren, and descendants, do you understand? ?"
Seeing her so stubborn, the fourteenth elder brother couldn’t help but look up at her and sneered: “Emmother, I think you have been in the harem for a long time, and you don’t believe in the truth anymore. But I still believe it. After the emperor, he will be nice to me. I would rather end up with a wrong view and bear the consequences, rather than take precautions and harm my brother in vain."
After speaking, he kowtowed De Fei, got up and walked out.
Consort De was trembling with anger, and asked him tremblingly, "Where are you going?"
The fourteenth elder brother replied without looking back: "This is really not suitable for me, I want to go back to the barracks."
De Fei was so angry that she shook her body and fell to the ground.
The fourteenth elder brother quickly asked Kangxi to return to the army, saying that he was accustomed to life in the army and wanted to return to the army to open up new territory. Kangxi didn't think much about it, so he agreed. Concubine De had a bitter heart but couldn't say it. As soon as the fourteenth elder brother left, she fell seriously ill.
Si elder brother brought the Su Yan, who has become a feast of the year, into the palace to greet Concubine De Fei. This is still the first time he came to see Concubine Dee after becoming a Fu Jin. On the day that Si elder brother married her, Kangxi was poisoned by eating purple sweet potatoes. Si elder brother was imprisoned by the family for several days, although he was not guilty. , But also put her off the matter of taking her into the palace. Now that I heard that Concubine De was ill, Si elder brother thought for a while, and entered the palace with a plain word. One was to visit the concubine De, and the other was to ask the concubine De to see the plain words by the way.
Concubine Defei was still lying on the bed crookedly, but she was shocked when she saw Su Yan coming in, she cried out: "You... aren't you that dead Su Yan? Why are you here?"
Si elder brother hurriedly replied to Suyan after hearing the words: "Emang, don't be afraid, she is the son's Nianfujin, she is just pixel words, but not plain words.
After hearing this, Concubine De felt relieved, and said nothing to Brother Fourteen, but then remembered Brother Fourteen who had run away with anger, she couldn't help crying, "Old Fourteen is stubborn, how can he be? I can't understand the painstaking effort of Emiang."
Si elder brother was very uncomfortable after hearing this, and persuaded him silently: "The fourteenth brother is just going to the army to stay for a while, and he will be back soon."
De Fei kept shook her head, "No, he won't be back. He hates me, he hates me..." Then she suddenly grabbed the fourth elder brother's hand and said eagerly, "Fourth, uh Mother is the only one left now. You must stand up, and must help your fourteenth brother to get the country down."
Si elder brother was stunned for a while, and he didn't expect Concubine De to say such a thing. Seeing that he didn't say anything, Concubine Devi only thought he had repented, and couldn't help but asked nervously: "You promised a mother, you won't repent, will you?"
Si elder brother smiled and replied softly: "Don't worry, mother, I promised you will not go back. You take the medicine first, and then lie down and rest for a while, OK?"
After hearing this, Concubine De was relieved, and the fourth elder brother served her and took the medicine. Jade brought the tea to rinse her mouth, waited for Concubine De to rinse her mouth, helped her to lie down, turned around and whispered to Si elder brother: "Si elder brother, you go back first, the master has slaves and maidservants waiting here."
Si elder brother nodded, and quietly went out with the plain words.
After I left the Yonghe Palace, I said that I couldn’t help but tell the injustice in my heart, “This wife Defei is also true. She is also a son. She always helps the fourteenth elder brother and doesn’t help you. It’s all right now. Well, the fourteenth elder brother doesn't accept her love anymore. She wants you to make plans for him. I really don't know what she thinks?"
