The Love of the Red Chamber

"His Royal Highness." Yinxiang spat out four words helplessly.

The atmosphere in the study room seemed a little tense for a moment, Yinzhen frowned and said, "Prince? What is he doing here?" In the past two years, the prince has become more arrogant and self-indulgent, and the relationship with the brothers has become more and more indifferent. , who doesn't want to stab each other in private.That is to say, Yinzhen has a better relationship with the prince because he was taught by Kangxi with Yinreng back then, and whether he has shown interest in that position now.

Yinxiang was a little irritable, obviously he didn't want to see him, the second brother of the prince, "Who knows what he wants to do? I guess he was scolded by Huang Ama two days ago, so he came out to find someone to complain about." Don't even think about it, It's fine for him to be scolded himself, but the fourth brother is also scolded, what's the matter.Yinzhen got up, looked at the two of them and said: "I'll go out and have a look, Dai'er go back to the room to rest. Old Shisan, you go back to the mansion too." Yinxiang raised his eyebrows in disapproval, "Fourth brother, you talk to the prince brother Can't you listen?" Yinzhen said lightly, "If I tell you to go back, I'll go back!"

Yinxiang still wanted to talk, but Daiyu had already gone over and dragged him away, "Brother Thirteen is leaving! What's so good about the prince's words? It's not like you haven't heard it before!" Without giving Yinxiang a chance to refute, Made a face at Yinzhen, dragged Yinxiang outside, only to hear Yinxiang kept yelling, "Oh, Xiao Yuer, be careful, brother Thirteen will walk by himself slowly" watching After the two left, Yinzhen's face became more serious, he turned around and went out the door to the front hall.

In the hall of Sibeile Mansion, Prince Yinreng sat drinking tea with a gloomy expression.The top-quality Dahongpao tasted like inferior tea in his mouth, and it was difficult to drink. If he was in a bad mood, he would not be in the mood to taste tea.In the past two years, Huang Ama has become more and more indifferent to him. Two days ago, he just reprimanded him for being extravagant, and today he said that he behaved surlyly.He knew that Huang Ama had already begun to disappoint him.People around him also advised him to be patient, but he has been patient for more than 20 years, is it not enough?When will such a day end?

"What is fourth master doing?" Yinfeng's tone was gloomy after glancing at the servant who was on the other side.The servant who was serving here lowered his head in fear, not daring to look at the noble but violent prince, "Go back to the prince, the fourth master is in the study. The thirteenth master has already gone to invite him, and he will be here soon." Yin Yin Reng snorted and said: "Get out!" The servant trembled in fright, and quickly responded: "Yes, yes. The servant will leave!" As he spoke, he hurriedly retreated, but almost bumped into Yinzhen who stepped in. She was so frightened that she quickly knelt down and said in a trembling voice: "Fourth Master." Yinzhen's face was sullen, a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes, but he quickly pressed it back, and said lightly: "Go down."

After everyone withdrew, Yinzhen stepped forward to salute, "My brother has seen the prince."

Yinreng waved his hand lightly, and said: "Fourth brother is exempt from courtesy." Yinzhen sat down under him, and then said: "I don't know what Huang Ama ordered the prince to leave the palace?" With the word Ma, his complexion immediately sank, and Yinzhen was not in a hurry, and sat quietly waiting for him to speak.After a long time, the prince said angrily: "What else can Huang Ama ask me to do now!" Yinzhen said lightly: "The prince does not need to be like this. Huang Ama is the king, we are ministers. We are reprimanded A few words are not a big deal." Yinreng naturally immediately thought of Yinzhen being scolded by Kangxi two days ago, and the cause was still because of himself, but the anger in his heart was uncontrollable, and he snorted coldly.

Yinreng is willing to ramble on without getting to the point, so naturally Yinzhen won't bring it up by himself.In the past two years, every time the prince asked him to do things, he always went too far.In the past, it didn't matter, and it was enough to help the prince with occasional things that were not too embarrassing, but now that Dai'er was in front of her, Yinzhen faintly didn't want to help the prince clean up the mess anymore.After a while, Yinfeng still couldn't help himself and said: "Fourth brother, second brother has some trivial matters to trouble you."

really!Yinzhen raised his eyebrows and said in a low voice, "Prince, please tell me."

The prince seemed to be in a bit of a dilemma, he hesitated for a moment and said, "I want to ask my fourth brother to help me settle someone down."

Yinzhen was stunned for a moment, and immediately thought of what was going on. Although he disdained Yinreng's absurdity in his heart, he didn't reveal anything on his face: "What is the prince talking about? If you really like a girl from any family, As long as the family background is clean and brought into the palace." But things don't seem to be so easy to handle, Yinfeng hesitated a little, Yinzhen was puzzled, and said: "Is there something wrong with identity? If it's a Han woman, it's okay It might as well, my younger brother is in charge of the House of Internal Affairs now, so it's not difficult to get a certificate or something." Saying this, Yinzhen also knew that things would be more troublesome, and he thought that the prince would not look at a romantic woman in a romantic place Bar.If so, it is absolutely impossible to help him.

After a long while, the prince said: "The fourth brother is not a woman."

Yinzhen was stunned for a while, if she was not a woman, then she was a man!Naturally, the man who asked the prince to come and ask him to arrange it would never be an aide or something.I had faintly heard people in the palace talking about the prince's problems before, but I didn't expect that it would become more blatant now.

"Second brother!" Yinzhen said in a deep voice, "Do you know what the consequences will be if Huang Ama finds out about this?"

Yinfeng was stunned for a long time before saying: "What consequences am I afraid of now?" His tone sounded like a broken can.Yinzhen remained silent with a sullen face, Yinreng was a little anxious, and said: "Fourth brother, just say something, will you allow me?" My brother can't help, and I can't help."

"You!" Yinfeng glared at him angrily.

Yinzhen looked back at him, met his eyes, and said coldly: "The only thing I can do to help second brother is to kill him!" The prince panicked, stood up, looked at Yinzhen and said, "No! "Yinzhen lowered his eyes and said lightly: "Second brother, as the prince, should know that he is in his position. If he makes a slight mistake, the consequences will be disastrous. Not only will he not be able to keep him, but you will also be implicated. I don't know, stop it as soon as possible. I will pretend that I have never heard of what happened today." The prince was a little dazed, he naturally knew that what Yinzhen said was for his own good.But

Yinzhen didn't ask who the prince was talking about.He has no interest in knowing these things.I don't want to see the prince anymore.In fact, the prince is not suitable for the position of prince, maybe he is not suitable to be Huang Ama's prince, because he can't bear it.This year's patience has exhausted all his patience.That's why there is such a reckless situation now.Maybe the prince thinks that he really loves that person now, but Yinzhen thinks it's just a whim, at least true love will not push the other person to the limelight when he can't keep the other person safe.Therefore, facing such a rare and decadent prince, Yinzhen has no sympathy.

Yinreng obviously didn't expect that Yinzhen would reject his request so bluntly, and suddenly there was a ray of resentment in his eyes, Yinzhen naturally saw it, but pretended not to see it.Without Yinzhen's help, the prince seemed a little irritable.Since Suo'etu was demoted, the few loyal ministers around him are all veterans of the court, full of old stubbornness, and naturally it is impossible to help him do such a thing.However, the prince himself does not have much power to use.The reason why he became more and more violent in these things.When a person has too few things in his hands, and his opponent has more and more things, his temperament will indeed change drastically.

"Second brother, go back and think about it carefully. Don't let Huang Ama down." Yinzhen said lightly.I thought in my heart that I should not have too close contact with the prince in the future.It's getting more and more ridiculous!

The prince looked at what Yinzhen wanted to say, but in the end he didn't say anything, and walked out with a flick of his sleeves.

25. A good man, Prince Feng, is trained

After rejecting the prince, Yinzhen also knew that the prince's character would never listen to his advice.With a slight mocking smile, he turned and went to the courtyard where Wu Sidao lived.

Wu Sidao was plucking the strings in the yard, when he saw Yinzhen coming alone, he quickly got up to greet him.Yinzhen also knew that Wu Sidao's legs and feet were inconvenient, so he waved his hand lightly and said, "Mr. Wu, you don't need to be polite." The two sat down at the table under the big tree in the yard, and immediately the girl brought tea, and Li quickly retreated.Wu Sidao said: "The fourth master came here today, but what's the matter?" Yinzhen frowned and thought for a while before asking: "What do you think of the prince?" Wu Sidao smiled and said: "What does the fourth master think of the prince? Do you want to Do you want to suppress or protect?"

"Baobao." Yinzhen said lightly.

"You can't keep it." Wu Sidao's voice was also very flat.Looking at Yinzhen, he said: "The fourth master wants to suppress the prince, even pull him down from the throne of the prince. Wu believes that the fourth master has this ability. But the only thing that he wants to protect the prince is, the fourth master can't keep it." Yinzhen was not surprised, looked at him and asked: "Why?" Wu Sidao smiled and said: "Because the one who most wants to pull the prince off the horse is not the fourth master, nor the other masters, but the one above." Looking at Yinzhen Zhen was silent, and Wu Sidao stopped talking, knowing that he was thinking seriously.After a while, Wu Sidao asked: "Fourth Master, have you considered what to do?" A faint smile appeared on Yinzhen's lips, and said: "Watch the fire from the other side."

Wu Sidao was taken aback for a moment, and said in surprise, "Why?"

Yinzhen said: "Let's not say that I don't have that kind of mind now, but if I show my sharpness too early, I can't guarantee that I won't be the second prince."In fact, the prince who was brought up by Kangxi himself was considered excellent in both Chinese and martial arts by his brothers.If there is anything wrong, it is that he became the prince too early.After all these years of watching with cold eyes, Yinzhen naturally sees these things clearly than anyone else.Wu Sidao nodded with a smile and said: "Master Lin is really right, Fourth Master understands everything in his heart. It's Wu who is talking too much. Since Fourth Master understands everything, please stay out of the way of the prince now."

Yinzhen looked up at him abruptly, with sharp eyes, "What about the prince? Mister is very well informed."

Wu Sidao shook his head and smiled, "Fourth Master's words are wrong. The matter of the crown prince is not a secret. Wu has heard a lot on the way to the capital. It is said that the officials from Zhili came to give the crown prince some gifts. Cough, my master, you act too boldly." Yinzhen is not so easy to deceive, of course, Wu Sidao did not lie, Yinzhen understood some of the mystery when he lowered his head and thought about it, and said with a sneer: "They It's a good trick!" No matter how courageous the crown prince is, he would not dare to blatantly ask someone to give him a male favourite.I'm afraid someone wants to take the opportunity to stab the matter in front of Huang Ama.Yinzhen got up and said: "Mr. Wu, rest well. Yinzhen will take his leave first." Wu Sidao got up and wanted to send him off: "Fourth Master, Mr. Lin has another word to pass on to Fourth Master."

Yinzhen looked back at him and said, "It's been a long time since Mr. came to my house. Only now do you think of Master Lin's words?"

Wu Sidao wasn't afraid either, and said with a smile: "Master Lin can tell the fourth master as he sees fit. Wu thinks he can tell the fourth master now."

"please say."

Wu Sidao said: "Please don't protect Miss Lin too tightly. The daughters of the Lin family have never been weak." After hearing this, Yinzhen turned around and left the small courtyard without saying a word.Behind Wu Sidao showed a faint smile, he knew that Yin Zhen had listened.

Outside the Lama Temple, Yinzhen greeted Concubine De, with a calm expression on his face, but it was not difficult to see that he was in an extremely bad mood as long as he got a little closer.In fact, the people around Yinzhen have long been used to it. Every time the fourth master goes to greet the concubine De, most people will automatically back away a little so as not to be an eyesore in front of him.

"Fourth Brother!!"

Thirteen and Ke'er came over with two little radish heads Sixteen and Seventeen.Seventeen immediately wished that his fourth brother was not afraid of his cold face, "Fourth brother, where is sister Yu'er?" Yinzhen looked down at Yinli's bright eyes and said, "Greetings to Mama Mama." I haven't seen him for more than a month, Xiao Yinli misses this sister Yu who is two years older than him very much, and takes his sixteenth brother to go to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to pay respects to the Queen Mother.Yinlu had no choice but to be dragged away.Ke'er looked at the two younger brothers who ran away, and then looked at the two older brothers who were standing there, especially the fourth brother who had a somewhat unkind expression. Pa'er, who was very wise, shook him and said, "Ke'er also go to Huang Mama Please."

Yin Xiang, who stayed where he was, looked at his fourth brother's increasingly cold face and smiled in his heart.Fourth brother, you are jealous of a child as young as Shi Qi, why can't you see through your own mind?Yinzhen cast a displeased glance at Yinxiang, Yinxiang quickly put away his smile and looked serious.Just as he was thinking of saying something to make the cold air on the fourth brother's body less creepy, a little eunuch ran over from a distance, "Fourth master! Fourth master, thirteenth master! My servant greets fourth master and thirteenth master!" Yin Yin Xiang recognized him as the eunuch of Prince Yuqing Palace, glared at him displeasedly and reprimanded: "You dog slave, don't even look at this place, why are you barking?" The eunuch quickly responded: "Yes, yes, Damn the servant!"

Yinzhen said impatiently: "What's the matter? Or does the prince have any orders?"

The little eunuch said with a sad face: "Go back to the fourth master, something happened to the prince. He is in the imperial study. The other masters are also here. The princess ordered the slaves to come and beg the fourth master to go and see the prince." Yinzhen nodded, "I know Now, you can go back." The little eunuch hesitated for a moment, then left in a hurry.Curiosity flashed in Yinxiang's eyes, and he looked a little gloating, "Fourth brother, what do you think happened to the prince this time?" Yinzhen looked down at him with a blank expression, "What do you care so much about? let's go."

"Where?"

"The Royal Study Room."

Not far from the Yonghe Palace, the eunuch in front of Kangxi came to find him, he was relieved to see both Yinzhen and Yinxiang, and said, "Fourth Lord, Thirteenth Lord, Long Live Lord, please come to the Imperial Study Room .”

As soon as I arrived at the door of the imperial study, I heard Kangxi's angry voice coming from inside, "Look at you, what do you look like. The prince of a country is your virtue, throw it into the face of my Qing Dynasty." Kangxi usually treats his courtiers generously. But when he was really angry, especially when he scolded these sons, he would never be soft-spoken.In the imperial study room, the prince knelt in the center, his face ashen.The elder brothers standing aside, the eldest elder brother, the ninth elder brother and the fourteenth were obviously gloating, the third elder brother, the fifth elder brother and the seventh elder brother listened to the training with their heads down.The eighth elder brother stood beside the ninth elder brother calmly, unable to tell what he was thinking.Only the tenth elder brother Yin'er still looked carefree.

Kangxi was scolding in high spirits, so naturally other people didn't dare to come forward to scold him.Li Dequan waved back the little eunuch who came in to report, walked up to Kangxi and said in a low voice, "Long Live Lord, Fourth Lord and Thirteenth Lord are here." Kangxi's expression darkened, and he said, "Let them in!"

Yinzhen and Yinxiang came in, Yinxiang first looked at Kangxi's gloomy face and the prince kneeling on the ground, made a face in his heart, and greeted Kangxi with Yinzhen, and stood up when Kangxi called out stand up.Kangxi snorted coldly and said, "Where did you two go?" Yinxiang was taken aback, Huang Ama was looking for trouble, right?After the court, where else can I go besides paying my respects to my mother and concubine?Yinzhen said indifferently: "If you go back to Huang Ama, I will go to pay my respects to Concubine Demu." Yinxiang also said quickly: "I have gone to see Ke'er."

"Yinzhen Yinxiang, do you know what the prince has done?"

Yin Xiang was taken aback for a moment, and said, "I don't know what Huang Ama said?" Yinzhen lowered his eyes and said, "Please tell Huang Ama clearly." The teacup in Kangxi's hand slammed straight over. His eyes were neither dodging nor evasive, Yinxiang was shocked, he called out to his fourth brother and pulled Yinzhen away, the teacup fell to the ground with a slap, and it fell apart.Seeing that Yinxiang's face changed slightly, Yinzhen pulled Yinxiang to his knees and said, "Huang Ama calm down, the thirteenth brother didn't mean to offend Huang Ama." Before he could see clearly, he had disappeared without a trace. He looked at the two kneeling sons lightly and said, "Get up."

Standing up, Kangxi threw a booklet over, "Show me!"

Yinzhen lowered his head and opened it, and handed it to Yinxiang with his usual expression.In contrast, Yinxiang's expression was much more exciting, first he blinked in disbelief, then took a sneak peek at the prince, his face was shocked and puzzled with a trace of disgust.Kangxi saw it in his eyes and said: "Yinzhen, this is what you are talking about." Yinzhen said lightly: "Return to Emperor Ama, this is the prince's private matter, there is no room for sons and ministers to talk." Kangxi sneered, "Without you The place to talk? Yinfeng talked to you about this matter!" Yinzhen lowered his head and glanced at the prince Yinreng who was kneeling on the side, and said without emotion: "My son also told the prince that the only thing that can help you The crown prince's plan is to kill that person. The crown prince refused, so I don't know anything else."

"Are you trying to justify yourself again?"

"No, I ask Huang Ama to come down."

Yinxiang looked at Kangxi's cold face, then at his fourth brother's indifferent appearance, and the brothers on the other side had vaguely mocking eyes, and said unconvinced: "Huang Ama, this is something the prince did wrong. What's the matter with fourth brother?" Kangxi snorted and said: "If the prince is wrong, are you all right? As brothers and ministers, the prince made a mistake and didn't know how to advise him, so what should he do?" Yinxiang was annoyed. An older person, why does he need others to watch him?Yinzhen, who had been standing on the sidelines watching the play, saw that Kangxi's fire was about to burn himself, and quickly smiled and said: "Huang Ama, I can't blame the ministers. The fourth brother and the thirteenth brother have always been with the prince. We just found out about it when we got close, how could we know?"

Kangxi glared at him impatiently and said: "The fourth child stays, and everyone else goes out. The crown prince is in Yuqing Palace to contemplate his mistakes behind closed doors, and he is not allowed to go out for a month."

"Yes, my son is waiting to leave."

Only Kangxi and Yinzhen were left in the imperial study.Li Dequan backed out carefully and closed the door from the outside.Kangxi did not speak, Yinzhen was not in a hurry, and stood respectfully with his head bowed.After a long time, I heard Kangxi sigh softly: "Fourth."

"Huang Ama." Yinzhen replied.

"How do you say this should be dealt with?" Kangxi was really angry.It's fine that the crown prince has disappointed him, but now he has done such a scandal.If no one knew about it, it would have been dealt with in private, but it happened to be impeached by the imperial censor. The prince's lewdness and immorality are really thrown into the face of the royal family!Yinzhen lowered his head and said, "Please, Emperor Ama, please break it." Kangxi stared at him helplessly, "You plan to screw with me for the rest of your life, don't you?"

Yinzhen was taken aback when he heard the words, he didn't expect Kangxi to say such a sentence suddenly, there was a lot of helplessness and affection in his tone, just like when he was a child in Jingren Palace, "My son dare not." Kangxi seemed to be aware of it too. Realizing that his tone of voice was a bit wrong, and the atmosphere was a bit strange, he said dryly: "I don't care if you dare or not, you will settle this matter for me!"

Yinzhen frowned, it's not appropriate to leave such a matter to him.Lord Kangxi didn't give him a chance to object, he waved his hands and said hastily: "Okay, you can handle this matter yourself. The reputation of my royal family is important. The rest is up to you. Go down!"

"Yes, Huang Ama, I will take my leave."
