Prince of the Qing Dynasty

Even though the peach blossom stuffing was specially made and claimed to be non-intoxicating after drinking, when Yinreng entered the house, he could still smell an extremely strong aroma of wine.

He looked at the couch where he usually rested, and he saw that Yin Zhen had passed out drunk.

The closer Yinreng got, the more he could smell the strong smell of alcohol emanating from Yinzhen's body. He walked over and sat on the side of the couch, and saw Yinzhen's trembling eyelashes, and the corners of his eyes that couldn't stop. Can't hold back the tears that flow down.

Seeing Yinzhen like this, Yinreng couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but staring at Yinzhen's drunken appearance, he frowned and said: "Even if you encounter difficult things, you shouldn't drink away your worries, let alone at your age. , shouldn’t have been drinking!”

His tone was stern, but his worries were hidden in his words.

Yinzhen, who was drunk and collapsed there, heard this, his nose twitched for a while, and suddenly he got up and threw himself into Yinreng's arms and burst into tears. He didn't say a word, but he expressed his desire by crying loudly. of sadness and sorrow.

Yinreng hugged Yinzhen, but didn't say anything to comfort him, he just hugged Yinzhen silently, and when he had finished crying and was sobbing, he called Saoqin in and said, "Go get some hot water, Get some hangover soup, and then ask the imperial doctor to come in and take a pulse, after that, I will help the fourth elder brother to change clothes."

Yinzhen's alcohol smell is really bad enough.After Yinzhen changed his clothes, he also had to change his clothes. Yinzhen hugged him and cried, his nose and tears all over him, he couldn't stand this.

"Second brother, I'm so uncomfortable..."

Impulsively, Yinzhen dug the peach blossom wine and drank it. The sorrow in his heart was burned away by the choking and spicy wine, and his whole body was so limp that he couldn't move at all. He just wanted to get some cold water to extinguish the flames in his body, but he wanted to After all, he couldn't do anything in the end.

When he was drunk on the soft couch, he had only one thought, no wonder people said to use alcohol to get rid of their worries, it turned out that after drinking, he really didn't remember anything.

Yinzhen, who was so drunk, didn't allow anyone to approach him, but when Yinreng approached him, he felt Yinreng's familiar breath, so he no longer resisted. After hearing Yinreng's words, he I don't know where the strength came from, turned over all of a sudden, and then threw himself into Yinrong's arms and cried loudly, as if this was the only way to relieve his psychological and physical discomfort.

However, after crying loudly, the clearly vague consciousness gradually came to life again, and Yinzhen felt a more uncomfortable experience than before.Drinking wine to relieve sorrow is clearly not as beautiful as in the poems.

"You drank so much, it's no wonder you don't feel bad!"

Yinfeng replied angrily.

Seeing that Saoqin brought in hot water and hangover soup, he moved away and let Saoqin serve Yinzhen, wipe his face and change his clothes, and he also took time to change his clothes.

After changing clothes, Shi Mo who went out to inquire about the news also came back.

Yinreng knew that the imperial doctor was taking Yinzhen's pulse and healed him at this moment, so he didn't rush in, he just stayed outside and asked Shi Mo: "Have you heard the news?"

"Go back to the prince, I have heard all the news,"

Shi Mo said, "The slave found out that someone gave a note with the news that Xiao Gege was dead to the little eunuch next to the fourth elder brother, and asked the little eunuch to hand it over to the fourth elder brother. The slave asked the little eunuch, he He didn't know who the maid who gave him the note was, she just said she looked at her eyes, as if she had never seen it in the palace before. But the slave asked quietly according to the appearance described by the little eunuch, like the concubine Defei in the palace The servant. This matter has not been verified yet, so I can only report back the existing news to the crown prince."

Concubine De's person?If it is really Concubine De's person, then this matter is obviously not that simple.

Yinfeng thought for a while, and said: "You don't need to investigate this matter any more. This is not something we can interfere with. You can move on to the next one."

Shi Mo nodded, in fact, it was not easy for her to find out these things, even if the crown prince asked her to continue to search, there was really nothing she could do.

After settling his mind, Shi Mo said again: "The prince asked the slave to investigate the second matter, and the slave also found out. After the fourth elder brother got the news, he didn't come directly to our Yuqing Palace, but went to Xiao Gege first. There, we came to Yuqing Palace after seeing Xiao Gege. It is said that the fourth elder brother was very sad after seeing Xiao Gege. He cried all the way to Yuqing Palace, and no one was allowed along the way Follow. After coming to our Yuqing Palace, no one was allowed to come close, and they just dug up the wine under the tree and drank it. When the servants rushed to stop it, the wine jar in the hands of the fourth elder brother had already bottomed out."

After hearing this, Yinfeng nodded and said, "Okay, I understand, you can go."

When Yinreng entered the room again, the imperial doctor had already visited Yinzhen, Yinzhen had changed his clothes, had already taken hangover soup, and the tears on his face had been wiped clean by sweeping the piano. If you just look at it like this, Yinzhen is just a child who is sleepy and sleeping soundly.

Seeing Yinreng coming in, the imperial doctor hurriedly came to Yinreng and replied: "Prince, after seeing the fourth elder brother, I have already let the fourth elder brother take the medicine and fell asleep. Apart from the discomfort of drinking, the fourth elder brother is also in some urgent pain. What I mean is to let the fourth elder brother relax and not be too sad. Besides, the drunkenness should be released. It is cold outside, so it is not suitable to move any more. One night is enough for an adult to hangover Yes. But the fourth elder brother is young, so he is not always so fast. If... if there is anything wrong with the fourth elder brother, I will come and see it when the time comes."

"I know, I won't ask them to move the fourth elder brother, just let the fourth elder brother rest with me this night."

Yinfeng said, "However, according to what you mean, it means that Si elder brother drank alcohol, even if it spreads out, I'm afraid he won't be able to fully recover for a while?"

The imperial doctor hesitated for a while before replying: "Back to the crown prince, what I mean is that it is easy to hangover, but I am afraid that it will cause other diseases. But this also depends on the individual's physique. The fourth elder brother has always been in good health. It's all right, but this time, the fourth elder brother is hurting his heart because of being sad, and I'm afraid he can't stop the evil disease from invading. So I'm afraid that if something happens... If the crown prince is really worried, I won't take it today I'm back at the imperial hospital, and I only stay overnight in Yuqing Palace, so that the crown prince can feel at ease. It's just that I'm afraid that the crown prince might think that I'm making a big fuss."

After hearing the imperial doctor's words, Yinfeng sneered in his heart, and said: "Princes and brothers have something to do, how can there be any reason to make a fuss? If you are worried, you should have been guarding here. How about it, I will let you lead you Go to the side hall and wait, if there is nothing to do, just come and see if there is something to do, it will be more convenient to go back and forth this way, lest you come here in the middle of the night, which will startle the spirit of the fourth elder brother, and make it worse."

After everything was arranged, Yinreng let Saoqin and the imperial doctor go away, leaving only him and Yinzhen in the room.

Yinzhen who had kept his eyes closed all the time suddenly opened them at this moment, looking at Yinreng with wet tears, he called him in a weak voice: "Second brother..."

Yinrong followed the prestige and said, "Are you still asleep? I thought you were asleep."

"...It is true that I drank the tranquilizing medicine just now, and I am also very sleepy, but I just can't sleep...Second brother, Xiao Gege is gone, and I feel uncomfortable."

Seeing Yinzhen's pitiful appearance, Yinreng persuaded softly: "You are always so serious, don't think about it, just sleep when you should."

Yinzhen lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "Second brother, you don't understand, I feel very uncomfortable when I see Little Gege's body lying there lifeless."

The little life that was clearly alive a few days ago has disappeared without a sound.Little Gege will never move, laugh or cry again.

And all his fantasies about Little Grid were in vain.He even fantasized about the situation when Little Gege could talk and call him fourth brother in the future, but now, it's all gone...

Little Gege is still Tong Eniang's own flesh and blood, how sad Tong Eniang must be if little Gege is gone...

As soon as Yinzhen thought of these things, his heart ached. No matter how much calming medicine he took or how much wine he drank, it was useless. The heartache couldn't heal by itself.

"How could I not understand?"

Yinreng glanced at Yinzhen, and said, "You've only been with Xiao Gege for more than ten days. She's gone, and you're so sad. At the beginning, I had a relationship with Brother Wanfu for several years. Think about it , when he is gone, how sad should I be? But didn’t I come here anyway? Life is alive, birth, old age, sickness and death are inevitable, you should learn to face it calmly. Like you, when you are sad, you can go without restraint Drinking too much, you are not only ruining yourself, but also hurting those who love and care about you. Think about it, if you have an accident because of your recklessness at this moment, the imperial concubine who has lost her little princess can still bear it Did something happen to you?"

"Yinzhen, you should be stronger and take care of yourself for the imperial concubine. Everything you did today was wrong, do you know that?"

"...Second brother, how did you get better? Can you forget these things?"

Yinzhen didn't understand, how could he live a life as if nothing had happened after bearing the pain of losing a loved one?

"Forget? Why do you want to forget?"

Yinreng asked back, then raised the corners of his lips slightly, with a slight smile in his eyes, "Time will heal all wounds for you, so don't think my words are hypocritical. There are many things you can't let go, and in a few years Looking back, you may still not be able to let it go, but it really doesn’t hurt that much. Instead, when you think about it again, you will think of some warm and happy things in your heart.”

"What you have to do now is to sleep well, study hard, and honor the imperial concubine well, that's enough. If you love little Gege, just do all the things she didn't have time to do for her." In this way, you may feel more at ease."

Yinreng stopped talking to Yinzhen, and let Yinzhen think about his own thoughts.

No one else can help with this kind of thing, only relying on Yinzhen to get over it.He didn't expect Yinzhen to be relieved by his few words, but it was much better to be comforted than to be comforted by no one.

Yinreng put on his cloak again, got up and left the house, leaving Yinzhen a room of silence.

Walking down the corridor, he looked up and saw Gu's sweeping the piano and others were about to surround him, Yinfeng waved his hand to signal that they don't have to come, sure enough, Gu's sweeping the piano and others never came to disturb him.

Yinreng was touched by Yinzhen's actions that had not been touched for a long time, and now he just wanted to be alone.

Standing under the eaves of the corridor with a cloak folded, his eyes swept across the courtyard calmly. When he came back just now, the mess in the courtyard had been cleaned up, and the scenery in the courtyard was restored to its original state.

The originally strong aroma of wine in the air has evaporated to the point where there is only a slight smell left. Yinfeng stared at the snow in the courtyard, and after standing for half a quarter of an hour, he saw snow falling again in the air.

He stood there quietly, thinking about what he said to Yinzhen just now, he was also very surprised in his heart.It turned out that without knowing it, it had been several years since Wan Fushang passed away.

In the past few years, he has been busy studying and enriching himself, so he thinks less and less of Wanfu. The sadness and loss like losing a close friend at the beginning is gone, and what is left is just those memories. That's all.But when he thought of those childhood memories again, he only had regrets and memories in his heart.

Moreover, in recent years, he has thought of his mother less and less.The imprints and memories of modern life are getting less and less on him, and he is getting more and more comfortable in being a prince, and he feels more and more that he is integrating into this dynasty.

In his mind, Kangxi, Empress Dowager Renxian, Yinzhen, Yinzhi and even the concubines of Xiaozhuang were much more real than the mother in his memory.

Compared with these people who actually exist in his current life, his memory of his mother is like a distant dream.The beauty is still untouchable, and gradually, it is being buried deeply in the bottom of his heart that he will not touch too much.

This feeling is not good, but it is inevitable.

Yinfeng thought, this kind of change is probably the so-called growth, right?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but find it funny that people who have lived for more than 20 years and received higher education can grow up again.Just like Yinzhen, wisdom is born from one thing, probably in life, no matter how old you are, you are always growing.

However, as long as people are growing and improving, it is a good thing.

……

Although the crown prince doesn't ask anyone to come near, Gu Shi, Saoqin and Shi Mo still dare not stay away, for fear that the crown prince will call others again.So the three of them let the rest of the people go, and the three of them stood at the end of the eaves from a distance, watching Yinfeng from a distance.

"Why isn't the prince guarding the fourth elder brother inside?"

Shi Mo said in a low voice, "Sister, did you see? The prince is still smiling, it's really strange! When he asked me to go out to inquire about the news, he obviously had a serious face. He is still smiling now! Sister, Tell me, why is the prince laughing?"

Shi Mo's eyes showed a little bewilderment, the crown prince has grown taller in the past two years, and he looks really pretty in a well-fitting cloak standing under the eaves of the corridor.The prince was still laughing while the snow was falling, and Shi Mo, who was watching this scene from a distance, felt that this scene was like a painting, extremely beautiful.

"Probably... probably because it's snowing again right now? You know, the crown prince has been looking forward to this snow for a long time, and he probably won't be angry with Si elder brother when he sees snow falling?"

Saoqin said uncertainly, "When the crown prince asked me to go in, he didn't look too happy."

Gu Shi didn't speak, she looked at Yinfeng very attentively, she was thinking, it's very cold today, should I take the risk of disturbing the prince and send him a hand stove?

After thinking for a while, Mrs. Gu decided that she was going to bring a hand stove over to warm the prince.

Shi Mo was overjoyed to see that Gu Shi was gone, so he pulled the corner of the sweeper's clothes and whispered: "Sister, do you think the crown prince looks much better than the elder brother? Huh, come on!" I met Xiao Yaner, and Xiao Yaner insisted that elder brother was born better than our prince, I think she said such things because she was adopted by elder brother!"

After hearing this, Sao Qin frowned and said: "Are you still in contact with Xiao Yan'er? I have advised you a long time ago that the crown prince will not deal with the elder brother, so you should not have too many contacts with the elder brother's people. I know you two grew up together, but you should restrain yourself a bit. Besides, Xiao Yan'er has been taken in by the elder brother now, she is not the same as you anymore, it would be better for you to keep associating with her less."

"Sister, I know the seriousness, I just said a few words to Xiao Yan'er, it's nothing serious," Shi Mo said with a low smile, "Sister, how do you know that we and Xiao Yan'er are not the same people? What? Don't you really know what the emperor meant when he chose us to be the prince's personal maids? I listened to the meaning behind what Madam Gu said, and looked at the current situation of little Yan'er. When the prince wakes up, I'm afraid the two of us are the same people as Xiao Yan'er!"

Shi Mo said happily, and smiled in Saoqin's ear and said: "The crown prince is prettier than the elder brother, and our sisters are much better than the little Yan'er! Besides, our prince is not as temperamental as the elder brother , Eldest brother said that he is very carefree, and there are many people watching him, but looking at our prince's character, I'm afraid it will be much better in the future!"

Sao Qin lowered her face to Shi Mo: "You still can't keep your mouth shut! Can you say such a thing? If someone hears it, can you still live!"

Shi Mo talked excitedly for a long time, but he got bored with his sister. Although he lost face, he knew that he was too carried away, so he curled his lips and stopped talking.

Sweeqin, on the other hand, stiffened half of her body because of Shi Mo's words. She looked at Yinfeng in the distance hesitantly, her eyes were full of surprise, she was older than Shi Mo, and she knew more things. Of course she knew that she would be a What kind of situation, even if he really became a prince like Xiao Yan'er, so what?

With backgrounds like Shi Mo's, she is probably only qualified to warm the prince's bed, and they can't even compete with each other. If the prince loses interest in them, I'm afraid he will forget about them.

What's the fun in that?Listening to what Shi Mo said, she seemed to be envious of such a life, but she really didn't understand sweeping the piano, what was there to be envious of?Seeing that Xiao Yan'er is favored now, but when the elder brother's side Fujin, Di Fujin and even Shu Fujin all come in, can Xiao Yan'er still compete with them?

Shi Mo is young after all, his eyelids are too shallow.

Sao Qin sighed in her heart, she would never live a life like this.I am afraid that I will not be able to help myself if I don't want to be unwilling to give birth to my own people.
