Indulgence in the Red Chamber

As soon as Lin Ning's butt touched the chair, there was a drake's voice at the door: "Your Majesty, the imperial physician has arrived, waiting for the emperor's orders."

"Let them wait outside." Kangxi frowned in displeasure, and cursed in his heart, these blind dogs usually bark and come slower than tortoises, how come they arrive as soon as they bark today?It seems that it has been prepared for a long time.

As soon as Li Dequan heard Kangxi's voice, he knew that Longyan was not happy, so he quickly agreed with the word '嗻', and then quietly left.

The two imperial physicians who hurried over from the imperial hospital wiped their sweat and asked, "Li Wenda, what does the emperor say?"

"The emperor asked us to wait. Then wait?"

"However, the emperor's imperial doctor must be unwell. We just stand here like this. If the empress dowager asks, how can we answer?"

"How do I know how the two adults will reply?" Li Dequan was also angry. In the past, the imperial physicians were very winking. I don't know why these two people who came here today seem to have no eyes?Before I checked the emperor's pulse, I thought about going back to the empress dowager's words.

"Li Wenda, you little ones seldom walk around in front of the imperial court, and you don't understand the temper of the Lord Long Live. If there is anything, you have to take it easy." Doctor Zhang said, taking a piece of paper from his sleeve. Pass the bank note to Li Dequan.

"Hey——I said, my lord, are you trying to beat me to death? You don't understand the temper of Long Live Lord? Do I understand? I can't bear the crime of presuming the holy will! Come on, you two wait slowly, I'll get someone to show the tea to the Long Live Lord." Li Dequan said, turned around and walked away without even looking at the piece of drink in the doctor's hand.

Doctor Wang and Doctor Zhang looked at each other, sighed helplessly, and said nothing.

"This Eunuch Li didn't look like this before, what's wrong today?" Imperial Physician Zhang shyly put the banknote back into his sleeve.He was not the on-duty imperial physician of Qianqing Palace, but he was just transferred from the previous day.Ga Dai, the minister in charge of the guards and the head of the clan's mansion, said that there were not many imperial physicians in Qianqing Palace, so he assigned a few to serve in Changchun Garden, so he picked four to make up for it.The emperor suddenly returned to the Forbidden City from the Changchun Garden. Although some of the imperial physicians who followed him also came back, there were still a few who did not come back.It just so happened that the emperor called the imperial physician today, so he got a Qiao Zonger and came under the eaves of Qianqing Palace.

"It's a serious crime to presume the holy will. Let's wait." Doctor Wang is an old doctor in the imperial hospital. He has some opinions in his heart. When he saw Kai Yinbu waiting in the side hall, his heart became more and more complicated. idea.

Not long after, two court ladies came one after the other. The one in front held a tray with four kinds of dried fruits in his hand, and the one behind also held a tray with two cups of tea on it.

Two cups of tea?

Doctor Wang glanced at it, then quickly lowered his head.The Emperor is not alone in the Qianqing Palace!Is there a minister answering inside?That doesn't make sense to have tea with Lord Long Live.

Who is in there?

This question became a doubt in Wang Taiyi's mind.

The quiet room to the north of the West Nuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace is the place where the emperor took a nap in summer. Because the emperor thought the Forbidden City was too hot in recent years, he moved to the Changchun Garden every hot day, so the quiet room has been idle.This time the emperor returned to Beijing in a hurry, so he hurriedly cleaned up.The room itself is in the shade, without seeing the sun, and there is an ice basin in the room, so it doesn't feel hot.

Kangxi sat on the low kang, Lin Ning sat on the lower chair, and the two had a pleasant conversation.

"According to what you said, if a person gets a treasure, he has to hide it well? Can't tell anyone?" Kangxi half leaned on the kang, took the tea handed by the maid, and slowly drank half of it.

"Yes, you can't say it. If you say it, it's tantamount to creating a strong enemy for yourself. If you meet someone stronger than yourself, you can't help it." Lin Ning nodded.

"I'm the son of heaven, can't I?"

"The emperor also has many helpless things. In the eyes of outsiders, the emperor is the lord of the world. If he wants wind and rain, he is the son of heaven. But Lin Ning believes that the lord of the world is not just the emperor. One person, but hundreds of millions of people in the world. There is a message from the ancients: the people who win the hearts of the people rule the world. In fact, what the emperor does every day is nothing more than seeking the well-being of the people in the world. Of course, this is not entirely true. Think about it Throughout the ages, those foolish emperors who only cared for enjoyment, blindly enjoyed themselves, and ignored the sufferings of the people, could still be emperors for a few days, but they would change their surnames after thousands of miles of land, leaving only their infamy through the ages."

These words are both flattering and logical.Not only helpless for the emperor, but also secretly praised Kangxi as the holy king.It sounds very casual, but in fact the words are rigorous and do not give people a chance to find fault.When Kangxi heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said, "You are such a sharp-tongued guy, how dare you show off your tongue in front of me."

"But I dare not. Seeing the bloodshot eyes of the emperor and his tired expression, Lin Ning must have been worried about the heavy rain these days. Lin Ning grew up in the countryside and forests, so he naturally knew the impact of this natural disaster on the people. Hurt. But the emperor is the lord of the people, all the people in the world are the emperor's subjects, and the emperor is in danger of the world. So you can't get tired and sick, and lose the big because of the small. Only dare to say a few words in front of the emperor, just to make the emperor happy Smile. Putting all those worries and troubles aside, that is the blessing of all people, Lin Ning's blessing." Lin Ning said, stood up from the chair, and slowly knelt down.

Kangxi looked at his son, who had been separated from him for more than ten years, who was kneeling on the ground. After a long time, he sighed and said, "If they understand as well as you do, I would not have spent the rest of my life in vain."

"In front of the emperor, whether it is the prince or the courtiers and generals, everyone is the pillar of the country. Why should the emperor worry about this?" Lin Ning said this, but secretly sighed in his heart, all of your sons are not fuel-efficient. The lamp, you spend it slowly with them, I won't follow along blindly.

"Hmph, you're pretending to be stupid again. If you keep doing this, I'll order that little girl you mentioned named Lin Daiyu to come into the palace." Kangxi glared at Lin Ning and used a new trump card.During the conversation, he found that this little girl seemed to have an unusual influence on his silly son, and even insisted on using the word she gave her for the name, um——I don’t show off my power, do you really think you are a grassroots person?

"Huh? What—what does this have to do with her?"

"Why doesn't it matter? Who made her your master? That—didn't you say that you were her slave? The slave was wrong, and the master was punished accordingly. This is what should be done." Kangxi snorted, completely A deadpan posture.

Lin Ning quietly looked around, the girl who had just delivered the tea had already gone out, there was no one else in the room except himself and the old man, so he stood up from the ground, clapped his hands, flicked his clothes, and bowed his hands to Kangxi , Said: "Your Majesty, the grassroots have retired."

"Hey—where are you going?"

"Take my little master away from Beijing to avoid disaster." Lin Ning smiled mysteriously, "Don't you think that we will hang our hands and wait for you to arrest us and enter the palace?"

Sly eyes, teasing smile.Everything is the way it was ten years ago.

Kangxi looked at this rogue-like son, and all the worries in his stomach disappeared.Raising his hand, he picked up a fruit next to it, and threw it at Lin Ning, while laughing and scolding: "You stupid monkey, you can't get along with me!"

Lin Ning dodged in a hurry, reached out to catch the fruit, and said with a smile, "Old man, can you let me go?"

"What did you call me?"

"Uh, old man..."

"Well, that's about the same. Tell me, how can I let Ama let you go?"

"First, I want to take Miss Lin out and not allow her to live in Rongguo Mansion."

"It's easy. Doesn't their Lin family have a house in the capital? I ordered Lin Ruhai to come back, so she can go back to live in her own home?"

"Second, I want to live with her."

"No prospect! Why don't you just say you want to marry her as a wife?"

"No, no." Lin Ning quickly waved his hand: "She is still young, how could she become my wife? If she grows up in the future and finds that the person she likes is not me, wouldn't it hurt her?"

"What kind of talk is this?" Kangxi was unhappy, and said angrily, "My son, who dares to look down on you?!"

"Oh, my long live Lord..." Lin Ning hurried forward, cupped his hands repeatedly, and looked back at the door: "I just said that if this person has a treasure, he should hide it instead of trusting him Swaggering through the market in your hand. Why do you say this again?"

"What? Could it be that you didn't even recognize Ama and Erniang in order to save your life? This is a crime of unfilial piety!" Kangxi stared again.

"I don't want to admit it. But I... I have selective amnesia, and I can't remember who my parents are!" Lin Ning put his hands down and pouted.

"You...you unfilial son!—Bastard!" Kangxi was so angry that he couldn't squeeze his son after all, and sighed, "Okay, if you don't admit it, you don't admit it, but you are not allowed to take a step away from me, that...you You’re not too young, you can’t live in the palace, so you can live in your fourth brother’s house. Remember, you are not allowed to leave the capital without my intention, and I want you to come whenever you want.”

"Observe the decree." Lin Ning quickly knelt down and kowtowed, then raised his face and asked with a smile: "Then, do the two previous requirements still count?"

"You bastard, get out!" Kangxi laughed and cursed, picked up a fruit again and made gestures, but in the end, instead of throwing it out, he put it in his mouth and took a bite, a little bit of sweet juice flowed out from the corner of his mouth, um, this year The fruit is so sweet!

Four Baylor House.

Because Yinzhen wanted to contemplate his mistakes behind closed doors at home, he put out all the official duties in hand, thanked guests behind closed doors, and only read and wrote at home. Seeing that he was really bored, Sifujin Nalashi Jinyu played chess with him.The couple happened to make up for their honeymoon. Apart from worrying about Lin Ning every day, the days spent behind closed doors were also quite leisurely.

Afternoon, heavy rain and early sunshine.

Jinyu was afraid that Yinzhen would be bored, so she asked someone to prepare a few exquisite side dishes, and brought a jar of high-quality daughter red from the wine cellar, and dragged Yinzhen to eat in the gazebo in the back garden Wine, by the way, enjoy the new lotus after the rain.

The two had just started, and before the third round of drinking, the housekeeper Dai Duo hurried over, bowed and replied outside the pavilion: "Lord Belle, Fujin. The emperor has ordered that Eunuch Li has already entered the second gate. Come with Eunuch Li Yes, and..."

"Who else?" Jinyu asked anxiously.

"And Mr. Lin Ninglin."

"Quick, go to the front." Yin Zhen hurriedly got up, and walked out quickly, pulling Jin Yu's wrist.

Imperial decree: Sibeile Yinzhen and Fujin Nala went to the south of the Yangtze River to visit talents unannounced for me, and they lived up to my high expectations.Lin Ning's medical skills are excellent, and he really has the power to rejuvenate. I love him very much, and I gave him the surname 'Xuan', and changed his name to 'Xuan Ning' and still called 'Mr. Ning'.However, this person is still young, if he enters the imperial hospital too early, he may lose his edge and only increase his bureaucratic air.Therefore, he was asked to temporarily live in Sibeile Mansion, and Yinzhen taught and supervised him, so that he would not be lazy and playful, and waste the exquisite medical skills he had learned.This!

Li Dequan finished reading the imperial decree, smiled at Yinzhen, and said, "Fourth Master, what you have thought about behind closed doors is over. The emperor ordered Sibeile Yinzhen to go to the Ministry of Households to do business and supervise the taxation and treasury of the Household Department." The matter of emptiness. Love it!"

"Thank you Yinzhen for accepting the decree!" Yinzhen and Jinyu kowtowed again before getting up to accept the imperial decree from Li Dequan's hand.They greeted Lin Ning again, "Congratulations, Mr. Ning."

"Thank you Sibeile and Fujin for your support." Lin Ning—ah, no, Xuan Ning hurriedly clasped his hands together, speaking in an official tone to Yinzhen.

"Come on, the old slave's errands are over, Mr. Ning will stay at Sibeile's mansion for a while, the old slave has returned to the palace." Li Dequan cupped his hands at Xuan Ning with a smile.He is an old man in the palace, a human being born out of a human spirit. Seeing that the two brothers stand side by side, they look surprisingly similar, what is there not to understand?

Jinyu hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him to stay, "Anda has some tea before leaving."

"I don't dare to have Lao Fujin anymore. Long live Lord can't do without people. Those monkey cubs who are careless, if they annoy Long live Lord, it will be the old slave's fault in the end. The old slave is leaving!" Li Dequan cupped his hands at Jin Yu, Xin Dao this Fujin is not the same in the emperor's heart from now on, it's better to be more polite to her.

"Dai Duo. Send Li Wenda off." Jinyu sent a few steps away and gave Dai Duo a wink.

Dai Duo knew it well, and accompanied Li Dequan all the way out with a smile on his face, then secretly slipped him a bank note, and said with a smile, "Eunuch Li, this is a little idea from Fujin. Quandang treats you to a cup of tea. "

"Thank you, Chief Manager. I'll thank Si Fujin for this old slave later." Li Dequan accepted the cashier with a smile, got on his horse, and galloped away.

Yinzhen took Xuan Ning's hand, looked around, and suddenly smiled: "Why did the emperor give you a surname again?"

"Xuan, the sound is the same as Xuan. The emperor said, I'm not a slave of the Lin family. If my surname is Lin, it would be suspicious."

"Xuan?" Yinzhen was taken aback for a moment, so the father and son still recognize each other?But now that we've met each other, why don't we just come back to be the sixth elder brother?

"Your Majesty misses the Sixth Prince, so he gave me this surname because I have the shadow of the Sixth Prince on my body. It is nothing more than a solution to the Emperor's heart disease. It is said that when the Sixth Prince died in the moat ten years ago, Si Bei Le Lying by the river, weeping bitterly, refusing to leave no matter what. That's why the emperor asked me to live in Sibeile's mansion." Lin Ning spoke with a smile, but glanced in other directions.

"I understand!" Yin Zhen raised his hand and patted Xuan Ning's shoulder. He already understood what he meant. Brother Six is ​​dead, and he died in the moat ten years ago.Now standing in front of him is only a similar boy named Xuan Ning.
