Prince of the Qing Dynasty

On the second day, Yinfeng was in class at Maoqin Temple, and Yinfeng was obviously not very interested. In the past, he could have a smiling face when he memorized and practiced calligraphy, but today he didn't even bother to make a smiling face. Never speak unless necessary.

And if it was normal, Tang Gengda and the others would definitely have to ask why the prince was so depressed, but what happened yesterday in front of the Qianqing Palace made the three of them terrified, afraid that they might say something wrong If he caused trouble, he would also share the experience of Zhang Ying and others.

Therefore, the atmosphere in Maoqin Hall was strangely quiet. The teacher gave lectures honestly, without saying a word; Yinfeng listened to the lectures without saying a word, and also said nothing.

But Yinfeng's thoughts were different from those of Tang Gengda and the other three. It was not until the end of school that he said something to Tang Bin that had nothing to do with today's lecture.

Yinfeng took out the golden sore medicine that he had already prepared from his bosom and handed it to Tang Bin: "Master Tang Bin, this is a good medicine that I found specially. It is said that it is very useful for stick wounds. Please Give it to Master Zhang Yingzhang and Master Xu Yuanmeng for me, and please also say sorry to them for me. This was originally a grievance between me and big brother, but they were innocently involved. However, "

Tang Bin took it, but said: "Prince, don't worry, the old minister will definitely pass this medicine on to them. However, the old minister can't tell them the origin of the medicine in detail. Otherwise, it will be bad for the crown prince if people know about it."

"Furthermore, the Crown Prince is not to blame for this matter. This is due to Eldest Brother's carelessness, and it is also because Eldest Brother's masters have not fulfilled their responsibilities as teachers. The Emperor deserves to be punished."

Yinfeng smiled and didn't answer. He knew that even if Tang Bin didn't think so, he had to say so.In this world, who would dare to say that the emperor's decision was wrong?

"Master Tang Bin is very right in thinking. It is true that I should not say that I gave the medicine. You can say what you think is appropriate. As long as you deliver the medicine, I will feel relieved."

After Yinfeng finished speaking, he didn't say any more, and just left the Maoqin Hall like this, which made the remaining three old people a little uncomfortable.

Dahata blinked, and asked in unfluent Chinese: "What happened to the crown prince today?"

In the past, didn't you always smile at them?At least he has a gentle tone and a gentle face. Why is he so cold today?

Geng Jie looked at Yinfeng's back with deep eyes, and sighed after a long while: "I know what the prince means. The prince is probably keeping a distance from us. He thinks what happened yesterday was because of his mistakes that caused Zhang Ying and Xu Yuanmeng to be beaten." , so now, he has learned his lesson, and he has begun to take the route of being cautious in his words and deeds... Sigh, this is probably the only way to live comfortably in this palace."

Dahata didn't understand Geng Jie's words, and Geng Jie's voice was not loud. Dahata was not a gossip person, so he didn't understand and didn't ask. He just sighed silently, packed his things and planned to leave the palace. go home.

There has been bad news in the palace for the past two days, so it's better for him to keep his head down and calm down.

After listening to Geng Jie's words, Tang Bin didn't say a word, and only after he left the palace did he dare to speak: "If the crown prince is really keeping a distance from us, he won't give this medicine. Jieshi, big brother, this matter There was a lot of commotion. Although he himself was not punished by the emperor, he was completely unpopular in the court. Even if Mingzhu supported eldest brother, it would be difficult for eldest brother to win the favor of everyone. Look at this matter, Could it be that the prince planned it long ago?"

"It's hard to say," Geng Jie pondered for a while, before saying, "It's hard to break the root of big brother just because of this incident. Don't you see that Mingzhu hasn't made any movement until now? I always feel that the prince's methods are not limited to this , let's not jump to conclusions, it's always the eldest brother who is unlucky, and it doesn't matter to us. It's just that Zhang Ying is so old, he was beaten yesterday, and he has to go to class today. That's all, let's Let's not talk about it, it is serious to find an opportunity to deliver medicine, this medicine is from the palace, it is better than outside. As for the prince, let's see and talk about it later."

Yinfeng has been in a bad mood all day, and even when Yinzhi came to him after school to ask questions about teaching, he didn't smile.

"Why don't you ask the master in the study?"

When Yinzhi heard him ask this, he paused for a moment with downcast eyes, and then replied: "Master Zhang Ying and Master Xu Yuanmeng are still giving us lectures today. I think they look so pitiful, so I just want to let them go early after school." After leaving the palace and going back to rest, I couldn't bear to stop them from asking questions."

After hearing this, Yinfeng was silent for a while. After Kangxi beat up the masters in the study yesterday, he didn't let Zhang Ying, Xu Yuanmeng and others rest, but let them go to class today, so these masters went to class with injuries Among them, Zhang Ying is the oldest, and his tragic situation can be imagined without looking at it. No wonder Yinzhi feels pity in his heart.

He didn't ask any more questions, and pointed to the questions Yinzhi asked in the booklet, and explained them to him in detail one by one.

Yin Zhi listened, and when he was about to leave, he didn't want to leave. Instead, he glanced at Yin Reng, and couldn't help but pursed his lips and asked, "Second brother, are you worried today? Are you unhappy? I think You haven't smiled since just now."

"Second brother, if there is something unhappy, if you can talk about it, you can talk to me, or if I can't solve it, but you can listen to it, it can be regarded as solving the troubles of second brother."

"I don't have anything on my mind, it's just that there are some things in my heart that I can't figure out." Yinfeng smiled and said, "You just study hard, and you don't have to worry about the second brother."

It's not that he has something on his mind, it's just that he has been a prince for many years, he used to think too much, has deep scruples, and usually follows the rule of examining himself three times a day, he thought a lot about what happened yesterday, and he always felt that it was wrong. It was caused by his affairs, if it wasn't for his delay in making a decision, so that Yinti moved his mind, so many things would not have been caused. In the final analysis, it was all because of his unwillingness to give in.

As a prince, it is really difficult every step of the way, neither left nor right, and it is extremely difficult to be blamed at every turn.What's more, as the prince, his first priority is to satisfy Kangxi and the ministers. In essence, no one cares about what he thinks.

For Daqing, he only needs to be a well-behaved prince who meets Kangxi's taste. He must suppress other details, otherwise if he acts according to his own temperament, he will cause troubles like yesterday's. A tragedy that would never have happened.

If the prince acts willfully and recklessly, he will definitely pay the price.Perhaps this price is not his fault in the eyes of others, but he himself cannot forgive himself.

Yinfeng thought silently, in the future, it is better to be patient, and not to do such impulsive things in a short time.If you really want to vent your anger, you should make some arrangements.

"Second brother, today I saw that the big brother's nose is blue and purple, and he looks extremely embarrassed, but he doesn't know it, and he is still whispering to brother Changquan, saying that he is so noisy, Huang Ama will forgive him He didn't punish him, I think he looks like that, it's really not pleasing to the eye, the masters in our study were all beaten by Huang Ama, fortunately, the elder brother still thinks this is an honorable thing, I don't know what he thinks, "

Yinzhi curled his lips, but there was a little excitement in his eyes, he leaned closer to Yinren and whispered, "Second brother, I didn't have time to tell you yesterday, but actually, seeing the way big brother looks like today, I think you hit him What a joy! Last time he plotted to harm me, my second brother told me not to worry about it, but I was always uncomfortable. Seeing you beat my eldest brother now, I feel much happier! Don’t care about others How should I put it, anyway, my fourth brother and I think you play well!"

Hearing this, Yinfeng laughed. This was his first sincere smile today. Compared with the others, if he just talked about beating Yinti, he really didn't regret it at all. .

"That's all you need to tell me, don't tell anyone else, lest Huang Ama hear it and scold you again," Yinfeng said with a smile, "Besides, this matter is not in compliance with the rules. Even if you feel happy, you can't imitate me, you know?"

Yinzhi said kindly twice, and said he understood, so he didn't stay any longer, took his leave and left.

Since Yinzhi left, Yinreng has been practicing calligraphy with the copybook newly given by Kangxi.

The time of Haishi is coming to an end, and Yinfeng still has no intention of taking a rest. Gu Shi and others who have been waiting outside feel that they can't wait any longer, and they will get up again at Yinshi tomorrow to study in Maoqin Hall. They can't let Yinfeng be too late Resting.

Mrs. Gu took a look at the sweeping piano, understood it, and then entered the inner room lightly, while Mrs. Gu was guarding outside, and ordered people to prepare hot water at all times and wait for it to be delivered inside. Then Mrs. Gu looked at the inner room. Looking into the inner room, he sighed.

"Prince, it's late at night, have you rested?"

"It's Saoqin." Yinreng turned his head to look at the sound, and saw that Saoqin had arrived in front of him, so he put down the little wolf hair in his hand and smiled slightly at Saoqin, "I thought you weren't coming anymore , I, I was just waiting for you while writing."

"Wait for me?" Saoqin was surprised, "If you have something to do, just give me an order, and I will come. How dare you make you wait?"

Yinfeng smiled, and didn't answer the words of sweeping the piano, just smiled and said: "I just haven't figured out how to tell you that's all, I just write to calm my mind. Now, I have already thought about it, and you will have to deal with it sooner or later." knew."

Saoqin agreed with a yes, and stood quietly, ready to listen to what Yinrong had to say next.

"You always know my affairs the most clearly. In the past few years, besides the nanny, you have been the most dedicated people around me. You also know that I have always relied on you. Everyone in Yuqing Palace also I have to rely on you to watch for me, I also pay attention to you in my heart, "

Yinfeng spoke softly, trying to speak softly, he was afraid of frightening the sweeping piano, "You know that the emperor picked someone for me. I thought to myself, after all, I'm still not used to being with them, so I have already told the emperor that after a few days I go to escape the summer heat, I will keep you, and the nanny will send you to the special nuns in the palace to learn about human affairs, and when I come back, you will serve me again."

Saoqin suddenly knelt down, her body visibly trembling into a ball, but she still gritted her teeth and said: "...The slave is listening to the crown prince's orders."

Yinfeng sighed, after all, he still felt sorry for the little girl who didn't even dare to say that she didn't want to. He said slowly: "Just don't worry, I know what's in my heart. You don't have to be afraid, I know what you are worried about." , you also understand what kind of person I am, you don’t have to worry about being alone with me for life. Besides, you also know that the emperor gave you to me, and you are already mine.”

Even if he didn't want to admit it, it had become a fact. As the crown prince, although he was struggling every step of the way, he had relatively obtained great privileges.In addition to the status of being under one person and above ten thousand people, there is also the power to manipulate the fate of others at will.

"Okay, you go out, you should also calm down and ask Shi Mo to come in and serve you."

Saoqin thanked En and came out in a trance. Seeing her like this, Gu knew that the prince had said everything he wanted to say, sighed inwardly, pulled Saoqin to her side, and then ordered Shi Mo to tell her to bring someone She went in with hot water to wait for the crown prince to wash, and seeing that everything was arranged properly, Mrs. Gu brought the violin to her room to talk.

"Did the prince tell you all about it?"

Mrs. Gu wiped away the tears on her face for sweeping the piano, "It's a happy event for the crown prince to take a fancy to you. You can't cry in front of others. You have always been a smart and steady child, and I also have a crush on you in my heart. Say something If you shouldn't say it, the crown prince chose you, it was better than choosing those Yaoyao Qiaoqiao!"

"Nurse..." Saoqin cried but couldn't cry, so she could only stand there in a daze, still unable to believe this was true, and always felt like she was in a dream.

"Hey, you child," Gu sighed, and said again, "During the past few years together, do you think I can't see your thoughts? You actually like the prince in your heart, right? It's just that you keep your duty, Don’t dare to say it. But if you want to talk about it, I also know that you don’t want it in your heart. I also know the reason for this reluctance. The problem is still the little Yan’er who is next to Big Brother, right?”

"Nurse, I, I'm afraid..."

Xiao Yan'er was also the emperor's personal court lady for Eldest Brother, and the two have been together for several years. Although there are differences between master and servant, there is still a relationship for several years, but look at Eldest Brother who wants Xiao Yan'er After that, what kind of life did Little Yan'er live...

Eldest Brother is not good to Xiao Yan'er, and Xiao Yan'er's life is not as good as when she was a court lady... Although Sao Qin likes the Crown Prince in her heart, she doesn't want to live like that, she is afraid of that in her heart day.Facing the prince, she dared not say a single word, but facing the Gu family, she couldn't help but confide in her heart.

"Hey, what are you afraid of? Can our prince be the same as big brother?"

Gu Shi said, "To tell you the truth, before the crown prince told you today, he told me about it first, and I also shared some of your thoughts, so the crown prince also knows what you are afraid of. He asked me a lot about the situation of Big Elder Brother and Little Yan'er. After listening to him, he told me that you would never be in such a situation in Yuqing Palace. I won’t let you suffer that kind of loss and live that kind of life.”

"Sweeping Qin, he is a master, it's great to be able to take care of these things! After all, we are all slaves, so it's okay to do what the prince wants! But our master values ​​love and righteousness, you can't No matter how reluctant you are, otherwise the crown prince will feel uncomfortable after seeing it! Think about it carefully, in the harem today, didn’t the concubine Rong follow the emperor when he was young? What now? How can the little Yan'er next to Big Brother compare to you? You are serving the Crown Prince of our Great Qing Kingdom!"

"I won't tell you all the benefits here. You are a smart person, and you can figure it out by yourself. The most important thing for you now is to learn enough skills, and then serve the prince well. Just make him happy!"

Sweeping Qin felt somewhat relieved, but still felt happy.She thanked Mrs. Gu for her enlightenment, and went back to the house with a heart like a dream.
