Qing Dynasty Chronicle

When the brothers were invited to Zhuangzi to eat crabs and appreciate chrysanthemums, they were all greeted by Yinti. He left the Wanyan family in the mansion. The elder brothers often made fun of Yinti for this, and it was not the first time that he was an Ama. , to be so nervous.

To this, Yinti just smiled and didn't explain.For the Wanyan family, Yinti still feels sorry for her. A little girl has endured so much in the past year or so. Now that she has the child she is looking forward to, naturally she should take care of herself.Besides, Yinti didn't intend to sit back and enjoy the blessings of being equal, hugging her left and right, as if there were more women, there would be more children.Then in the first half of my life, I have to worry about the things that women cause, and in the second half of my life, I have to worry about the intrigue of the grown-up children.Yinti asked himself that he was not the kind of person who could deal with such bad things, so he might as well keep it simple.

He said that he invited all the grown-up elder brothers to come over for dinner, but there were always a few who did not come with excuses, such as the older elder brother Yinxi who had been pointing his nostrils at Yinzhen outside the Great Wall, or Yinzhi who was called by Kangxi to run an errand. Yinqi, the rest are all here.

Yinzhen who came first, he did not come empty-handed. Seeing the people behind him, Yinti didn't understand, "Ninth Brother, this is?"

Yinzhen said casually, "Although you borrowed a cook from Khan Ama because of your high face, but at least this is a banquet for the emperor's elder brother, so you need a few skilled cooks to help the palace cook, otherwise you will be in a hurry. It's not pretty."

Yinzhen heard the same thing, and there is also a certain way to do it. Skilled workers naturally make it easy, so he smiled and nodded, "It's still Brother Jiu who is thoughtful."

Yinzhen snorted, and waved his hand to signal the servants behind him to bring the things to Yinzhen, "Also, a few days ago, the people in my shop went outside to buy a few jars of good wine, since It’s rare for the brothers to gather together today, so I just made fun of it and brought a jar for the brothers to taste.”

Yinti's smiling eyes narrowed at this moment, "Hey, if all the guests you invite are like Brother Jiu and bring their own chef's drinks, then there's really nothing to say."

"What are you doing, Hu Qin!" Yinzhen stretched out his hand and tapped Yinzhen's forehead, "If it wasn't for the joy of the older brothers and younger brothers who seldom get together, would you think I like to worry about it like an old mother?"

"That's right, Brother Nine is right." Yinti quickly agreed, seeing that Yinzhen was about to walk into the back room, Yinti quickly stretched out his hand to hold him, "Hey, Brother Nine..."

Yinzhen stopped and turned to look at Yinzhen, "Huh?"

Yinti smiled, "You can stay for a while, I have something to tell you."

"What's the matter, it's mysterious." Yinzhen muttered, then nodded, "Got it."

Only then did Yinti let go of his hand, "Then you go in and have a seat first, I guess the other brothers will arrive soon, Brother Ninth, you are a little tired, please help me greet me in the room."

Yinzhen breathed out, "I knew I was a hard worker." After that, Yinzhen went straight in without paying attention.

Seeing this, Yinti recruited the steward who had been working in Zhuangzi, and ordered, "I'll take care of brother Jiu."

"Hey." The steward responded, and quickly trotted to Yinzhen's side.

The prince and Yinhu came hand in hand behind.

At that time, Yinti opened his mouth and wanted to call his second brother when he saw Yinrong, but when he saw Yinhu who came out from behind Yinrong, Yinti swallowed the word "two" as soon as he yelled it, and changed his mind. It's done, "His Royal Highness, starling."

Yinfeng looked at Yinzhen, who was wearing a simple gown with pearlescent white embroidered silver silk and dark patterns, who looked very refreshing and clean, standing there smiling at himself, a smile could not help but appeared on his face, and jokingly said, "Yaogu said , among our brothers, you and the eighth brother love their daughter-in-law the most."

"Speaking of loving my daughter-in-law, I don't dare to compare it with the starlings." Even though the scene where Yinrong and Yinhu came together was weird, Yinti still smiled and took Yinrong's words, "The way the starlings treat the eighth sister-in-law I'm still far from being gentle and considerate."

Being teased by her elder brother and younger brother at the same time, Yinhu felt a little embarrassed, "Fourteenth brother, you are making fun of your starling!"

Just as Yinti was about to speak, Yinreng opened his mouth, "Your fourteenth brother is right, you are a good-looking boy, eighth, with a gentle and considerate temper. Which woman would not want to marry such a wishful man. Listen alone Seeing that people outside have praised you a lot, Old Ba."

A simple sentence made Yinhu's expression froze for a moment, and he smiled a little reluctantly, "The prince's words will kill the younger brother, and the younger brother's words and deeds are all based on Khan Ama and the prince. If there is praise, it should be Khan Ama who should be the crown prince, and my younger brothers dare not take the credit."

With a smile on the corner of Yinrong's mouth, he swept over Yinhu who had a reluctant expression, "Old Ba, you are not good at this, but you are always tense when we chat with brothers. Look alone, you have to learn from Fourteen on this point." study."

Yinzhen's eyebrows twitched when he heard the conversation between the two people in front of him. Now that Yinreng handed over the ladder, he quickly answered the conversation, and said with a bitter face, "The crown prince dislikes the regularity of my younger brother, right? ?”

Yinreng looked at Yinti's frowning face, and laughed, "Aren't we fourteen too stupid?"

From the corner of his eyes, Yinyu saw that Yinhu still looked awkward, so he simply gave up his own face and stepped forward to pull Yinfeng, "Oh, my brother prince, you can bypass my younger brother, it's so easy to invite you here Once I’m Zhuangzi, you still don’t forget to run on me. Don’t stand here at the gate, you should go in and sit and drink tea. You are running on like this, and the younger brothers are not here to meet the older brothers. Just find a place first Just cry."

Yinreng was so amused by Yinti, he waved his fan and said, "Well, for the sake of today's crab feast, I don't want to talk about Gu, or I will annoy the host and drive Gu, a guest, out, and the loss outweighs the gain." .”

"Hey, it's good that you know, this is the village of my younger brother, don't make my younger brother angry, or the consequences will be very serious." Yinzhen pretended to be proud and picked up his throat, learning Hong Kong and Taiwan dialect.

Yinfeng looked helplessly at Yinti, who was speaking in a strange tone, and tapped Yinti's forehead with a fan, "Naughty!" Before he finished speaking, Yinti covered his forehead and hopped, smiling and leading the eunuch Into the yard.

After seeing off this heavyweight, Yinti turned his head to look at Yinhu who had a slightly subtle expression, and just about to speak, Yinhu opened his mouth first, "Now only the fourteenth brother can talk to His Royal Highness like this."

Hearing Yinhu's meaningful words, Yinti only felt a pain in his liver, just happened to catch a glimpse of Yinhu riding here, so he pretended not to hear Yinhu's words, just smiled and said, "Brother Ten also Come on, brother starling, don't stand here at the door, go in with brother ten, brother nine is also inside."

Yinhu looked at Yinti who was deliberately ignoring what he said, and when he wanted to say something, Yinhu's loud voice rang out, "Hey, starling, are you here first?"

Yinhu had no choice but to turn around and smile at Yinyu, "I just arrived not long ago."

Yinyu responded, stepped forward and handed a jar of wine to Sun Dongxi, smiled and said to Yinqi, "I could have arrived earlier, but later I found a jar of good wine in the mansion and brought it here. Our brothers are doing well today." Have a few cups."

Yinti looked at the wine jar in Sun Dongxi's hand and was amused, "This time Brother Ten, you and Brother Nine have a good understanding, and he also brought a few jars of wine."

Hearing this, Yin Qu regained his spirits, "This relationship is good, we might as well not get drunk and go home today!"

Yinyu waved his hands again and again, "Don't, if Khan Ama knows that I can't please you, just use the right amount." After that, he added, "Although fine wine is good, don't be greedy. You can also have a drink or two together!"

Yinhu heard the same thing, so she nodded, "Success, it's settled like that." Then she greeted Yinhu to go in together, "Then my starling and I will go in first!"

"En." Yinti nodded, "My younger brother not only prepares good wine, but also prepares good tea. Brother Eight and Brother Ten go to drink tea together."

Just like that, Yinti, who had not had time to say anything, was pulled away by Yinti, and Yinti stood there looking at the backs of the two of them, and let out a long breath.

Later, Yinyou and Yinqi also arrived one after another, and the last ones arrived were Yinzhen and Yinxiang, who were like conjoined twins, both of whom came here after finishing their official duties.

When everyone arrived, Yinti saw that the time was about the same, and after calling the cook to start cooking, he went into the living room to chat with his brothers.

Originally, everything was well planned, and there was no doubt that the crown prince would take the seat, but when Yinzhen wanted to sit down between Yinxuan and Yinxiang, Yinfeng stopped him, saying that since it was the host's house, there was no reason to sit in the guest seat, So Yinti was taken to sit with Yinreng.

In fact, it's nothing, but Yinyu just subconsciously glanced at Yinhu's expression, and as expected, something was wrong with his expression, even Yintang's brows were slightly frowned.

Yinzhen sighed in his heart, and sat down beside Yinfeng with a smile on his face.

It has to be said that the skills of the top cooks in the imperial dining room are not free, and there are people like Yinxiang Yinju who can liven up the atmosphere, coupled with delicious food and wine, even Yinyou's face, which is always gloomy. Showed a smile.

While talking and joking, everyone wrote a poem, which is considered to have completed the task assigned by Kangxi. Naturally, Yinti knew how much ink he had in his belly, so he had prepared beforehand and wrote a poem that was barely enough Give it up, anyway, it's the kind that is neither good nor will be judged by Kangxi as bullshit, anyway, no matter what, there will be Yinyi who will be a troubled brother with him.

What is elder brother, elder brother is a human being, oh, the half-way monk like the fourteenth brother of the gun version does not count.Therefore, as long as they want, they can behave harmoniously and talk happily.So when the banquet was over, everyone still felt a little unfulfilled, even Yinfeng would really want to talk about Tianming with his younger brothers if it wasn't for the hindrance of the palace having to give the spoon.

Seeing off the drunken brothers, Yinti sat on the grand teacher's chair and pinched the bridge of his nose a little tiredly. He closed his eyes and rested his mind. He only felt a familiar light fragrance lingering in his nose, followed by another scent. With a clear voice, "I saw you jumping up and down for fun during the dinner, isn't your stomach uncomfortable right now?"

Yinti opened his eyes and looked at the person coming, the corners of his mouth curled up, "Ninth brother."

"Look at your fussing about just now." Yinzhen gestured to the things at hand, "Drink a bowl of porridge and have some snacks."

Yinti looked at the steaming pine nut porridge and a few pieces of side dishes on the table, and let out a long breath, "Brother Jiu is still caring."

"Let's eat yours." Yinti said lazily, and sat aside to drink tea without saying a word.

Yinti smiled, picked up the spoon and ate slowly, the atmosphere in the room was peaceful for a while.

After Yinzhen finished his dinner contentedly, rinsed his mouth and washed his hands, Yinzhen also put the teacup aside, "Are you full?"

Yinti nodded with a satisfied expression, "It's better to eat something light to feel comfortable in the stomach at night."

"Success." Yinzhen stood up, signaled the servants to take away the tableware and said, "Don't just sit like this after eating, go outside with me for a walk."

"Hey." Yinzhen nodded, and followed Yinzhen to get up.

The two walked side by side under the moonlight, Yinzhen asked, "Didn't you tell me something, what's the matter?"

It was Yinti who asked Yinti to stay for the last time before, and of course he knew that he would ask himself about it, but Yinti shook his head, "Let's go to the study and talk about it."

Yinzhen paused for a moment, took a look at Yinzhen and hummed, agreeing.

Maybe it was because the surrounding environment was too quiet, and the moonlight was so bright, neither of them had any intention of speaking, and walked quietly through the journey to the study together.

After entering the study, Yinti asked Sun Dongxi to serve tea, and told the idlers not to approach, then he straightened his face and looked at Yinzhen, "Ninth brother."

Yinzhen looked at Yinzhen with a serious expression, and suddenly raised his hand, "I'll talk about your business later, I have something to ask you first."

Hearing Yinzhen's words, Yinzhen suddenly felt relieved, nodded and said, "You ask."

Yinzhen looked directly into Yinzhen's eyes, and asked slowly, "What's going on with you and the prince?"

"What's going on?" Yinti was a little confused.

Yinzhen's expression remained unchanged, "When did you get so close to the prince?"

Yinzhen lowered his eyes to avoid Yinzhen's sharp gaze, "We and the prince are brothers, what's wrong with being close?"

"Ha, brother?" Yinzhen chuckled as if he had heard some funny joke, "We and the prince are naturally brothers, but he is also the prince under one person and above ten thousand, the prince of the country. Fourteen, can you Don't forget, the same applies to the father and son of the monarch and the minister, as well as brothers."

Yinzhen took a deep breath, raised his eyes and looked at Yinzhen, "That's right, he is the crown prince and I am the younger brother, but so what? Then he is not my second brother? Can this bloodline be cut off? impossible."

Yinzhen looked at Yinzhen steadfastly, and it took a long time before he said, "Then what are you going to tell me today?"

'finally come. ' This was the only thought that came to Yinzhen's mind when he heard Yinzhen's question. He looked at Yinzhen earnestly, "This time outside the Great Wall, no, maybe after being injured outside the Great Wall last year, I thought A lot, over and over again, back and forth, thinking a lot." As he said that, Yinzhen stepped forward and took Yinzhen's hand, "Ninth brother, let's just be a loyal minister."

Looking at Yinti, Yintang's gaze suddenly turned cold, he broke away from Yinti's grip on his hand, took a step back, and asked coldly, "What do you mean by that?"

Yinzhen looked at Yinzhen without flinching, and said word by word, "Loyal to the emperor. Loyal to Khan Ama, and also loyal to the heir apparent behind Khan Ama."

"Loyal to the prince behind Khan Ama?" Yinzhen repeated softly, but her expression became colder, "Is this what you have been thinking about since last year?"

"Yes." Yinzhen nodded.

"So you are on good terms with the prince now, so the prince treats you differently? Because of you, Brother Fourteen is determined to be what you call a 'loyal minister'?" Yinzhen asked with narrowed eyes.

"Brother Nine, don't say that." Yinzhen suddenly felt that this kind of Yinzhen was a little strange.

"The fourteenth elder brother wants to hear what I have to say?" Yinzhen approached Yinti step by step, "Does the fourteenth elder brother think that some things are just joking? It doesn't matter what happens today? It doesn't matter what happens tomorrow? It doesn’t matter if you change your face all of a sudden? Oh, no, it’s not considered a sudden change of face. Didn’t Fourteenth brother think about it a long time ago? Everyone can see the step-by-step changes. Fourteenth brother Is this playing our brothers as monkeys?"

"I didn't!" Yinti denied it loudly, and then lowered his voice, but his tone was a little eager, "What do you mean by turning your face? Did I say anything in front of everyone? I just left Brother Jiu behind." Talk to you alone about this."

Having said that, Yinti breathed a sigh of relief, "The crown prince is my brother, you are also my brother, and the eighth and tenth brothers are all my brothers. After going through life and death last year, I feel that nothing is as important as everyone's good. .Brothers have this life or the next life, why bother to get to that point?"

"Brother?" Yinzhen's tone was a little sarcasm, "Brother Fourteen fell off a horse once, and his thinking became more naive. Why bother to make it to such a point, don't you understand this fourteenth brother? Originally, you could come with us." I talked about it."

Yinti pursed her lips, "Do you think it will succeed?"

"Why didn't it succeed? The aspirations of the people are for those who are capable. Is this wrong?" Yinzhen asked.

"Where the hearts of the people are, the capable live there?" Yinzhen looked at Yinzhen and asked softly, "Then, where is Khan Ama placed?"

"What have you heard?" Yinzhen asked with a cold light in his eyes.

"I haven't heard anything." Yinti lost the interest in half-hiding and half-confiding with Yintang, and simply started the conversation, "It's just that I don't think the starling will win. Now Khan Ama is in its prime, and the crown prince's position is stable. , what the mynah did is just a self-imposed cage."

"The prince's status is stable?" Yinzhen smiled contemptuously, "Could it be that the fourteenth brother didn't see the many conflicts between Khan Ama and the prince?"

"So what? He is the prince. He is the prince who was established by Khan Ama since he was born. He was brought up by Khan Ama himself, and he took care of his daily life and study. He was cultivated by Khan Ama with all his heart and soul. Prince, what are mynas fighting against him for?" Yinti asked a little irritably, "Do you think the prince can't see mynas doing these little tricks? If he couldn't see it today at the banquet, he wouldn't beat mynas many times! Close Let it go, it will not benefit anyone if you continue to do this."

"It's just taking advantage of the former queen's belly. Do you really think he has the qualifications to be a prince? He is extravagant and dissipated, how can he look like a prince?" I don't know which sentence Yinti said stimulated him Yinzhen, let him say such rebellious words.

"You're crazy! That's the prince!" Yinzhen looked at Yinzhen with unbelievable eyes.

Yinzhen sneered at Yinti, "Why, Brother Fourteen wants to report me in front of Khan Ama and the Crown Prince?"

Yinti didn't know why Yintang was going crazy, "What nonsense are you talking about? What am I reporting on you? I asked you to stay today to persuade you. Don't get stuck step by step and you won't be able to get out. This is a matter of beheading." , do you think it’s a fight for money and a house? Do you know how many people will bleed if things fail?”

Seeing that Yinzhen was still unmoved, Yinzhen became a little anxious, "What kind of poison did Myna put on you to make you so steadfast? Live a good life but do you have to take the risk of beheading like this? Did he give you an iron hat prince? Don’t be obsessed with it anymore, can you? You are moving more and more, do you really think that Khan Ama can’t see it? When the thunder is enraged, how much can you resist? "

"Then what did the prince promise to the fourteenth brother? Only the fourteenth brother persuaded him so earnestly? A beautiful wife and concubine? Jewelry, gold and silver? Or, a prince with an iron hat that cannot be replaced?" Yinzhen walked up In front of Yinzhen, "In that position, he Yinfeng sat unsteadily. We are not the only ones looking at him. We are all the sons of Khan Ama. As long as the dust does not settle, everyone will be happy." Compete for qualifications!"

"Slap!" A loud slap sounded in the study, and Yinzhen looked at Yinzhen with red eyes and gasping for breath, "Anyone is qualified to compete? Don't forget, the qualification is not obtained by competition, it is Khan Ama gave it! The second brother’s position is not stable, it’s him who is Khan Ama, not you! Do you really think that you can pull him down from the crown prince by yourself? What are you! Hold yourself You are very proud of doing loss-making business with your head! Are you deceived by lard! I advise you, not for jewelry, gold and silver, not for the iron hat prince, just because you are my ninth brother! You are mine Brother! I don’t want to see my brothers and sisters end up in captivity, and even lose their lives!”

"It's really good, and the fight is really good. It's really worthy of being crawled out of the same mother's belly as the fourth elder brother. They both love to fight with brothers." Yinzhen pressed his tongue against the face that Yinzhen slapped The inner wall of the mouth said something with disdain.

Then Yinzhen squinted his eyes and walked to Yinzhen's side, and said something that made Yinzhen feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave, "But, in what capacity are you saying this? The fourteenth elder brother of the Qing Dynasty ? Aixinjueluo Yinti? But, are you?"
