Two days after the banquet, Dolji came to the door as expected, Yinhu welcomed him to the flower hall, Hui Ning cooked two small dishes himself, warmed a pot of flower carvings and brought them, Dolji said with a smile: "Brother Ba is truly blessed to have such a good wife."

Yinhu served him with a smile and said: "The prince of the county is about to get the princess as his wife, which is also a great blessing. I don't know when we will leave?"

"After three days, it's time to return." Duo Erji picked up the wine cup, "I'll say goodbye this time, and I don't know when we will see each other again. I hope the eighth elder brother will not take it seriously."

Yinhu also felt a little bit sad about parting, raised his glass and said: "I hope the prince of the county will have a smooth trip and a safe journey." After speaking, the two lightly touched the cup and drank it to the full.

Dorji added a chopstick of crystal quail, chewed slowly, and suddenly asked Yinhu: "Bogda Khan has many sons, and although the eighth elder brother is young, I have always heard that the eighth elder brother is in Zhaomodo. You defeated Che Ling'a in one battle, with your talent and courage, are you willing to be subordinate to others in the future, and bow your head and be a vassal for the rest of your life?"

Yinhu was startled when he heard the words, seeing Doerji squinting his eyes and looking at him with a smile, he turned his head to Lu Lianrong and told Lu Lianrong to retreat, until there were only two of them left in the flower hall, Yinhu asked slowly: "Jun What did the prince mean? Now that Lord Long Live is strong and healthy, and the East Palace has always been very sacred, no matter how stupid Yinhu is, how could he have such disrespectful thoughts? Is the prince of the county testing Yinhu?"

Dolji smiled and shook his head, his voice was thick and deep, and when he lowered his voice, he became even more magnetic: "My father and king have three sons, but my two brothers are incompetent and weak. It must be my world, I respect Eighth Brother as a person, and I like to make friends with you, if Eighth Brother has any ideas, Dorji will definitely help you."

After hearing this, Yinhu chuckled twice, his face was calm and breezy, and he said leisurely: "Yinhu appreciates the kindness of the prince of the county, but Yinhu has no such ambition in his heart, he only wishes to be a virtuous minister, Assist Mingjun. What the prince of the county said today, I will not mention it again in the future."

Dorji was flatly rejected by him, but he didn't feel embarrassed, and asked with a smile: "The eighth elder brother has a great talent but is unwilling to use it. Is it really because of helping the prince wholeheartedly? Or for the fourth elder brother?"

Ever since the dinner that day, Yinhu has been avoiding Yinzhen, the events of that night are engraved in his mind like a brand, he has no power to think or guess what Yinzhen was thinking at that time, as long as he thinks about this moment, Yinhu felt that his heart was in turmoil, and he didn't know how to deal with it, so he even took leave of study in the past two days, hiding in the mansion and refusing to go out. Wan Yinzhen's low voice in his ear, the hot eyes and the kiss after that...

Yinhu's heart was suffocated suddenly, feeling his face was hot, and afraid that Dolji would see something, he coughed twice and said: "What is the county prince talking about, fourth brother is just like me, he is willing To be a loyal minister and good general, there is absolutely no ulterior motive.”

Dolji smiled playfully, "So it means that Dolji has made shallow remarks, and he deserves to be punished." After saying that, he really punished himself.

Seeing him drinking a glass of wine with his head up, Yinhu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Why did the prince of the county make a simple statement, and I introduced the prince of the county as a friend, but this matter is of great importance, so don't talk nonsense. I hope the prince of the county will forgive me."

Dolji nodded with a smile, and suddenly said seriously: "I won't mention today's matter again, but the eighth elder brother doesn't need to be suspicious of me, I am not ordered by anyone to come to test the eighth elder brother, Dorji is a man It’s not that bad.”

Yinhu smiled and raised his eyebrows and asked: "I don't know one thing, why did the prince of the county choose Yinhu? In terms of age, I have no advantage among the princes, and in terms of achievements, how can I compare with the big one this time?" How important is elder brother's repeated battles? In terms of background, Yinhu is not even in the ranks, can the prince of the county explain it to me?"

"Eighth brother, do you believe in fate?"

"The prince of the county doesn't know, but my wife and I met once in the Huguo Temple and became a couple. It can be seen that there is God's will in the dark, and the word fate is naturally believed."

"That's it. In fact, I just thought that the eighth elder brother caught my eye. Dolji thought that he was good at knowing people, so he said this to the eighth elder brother. He had no other intentions. "

Yinhu didn't want to speculate on the truth of what he said, so he just replied with a smile: "Prince Demeng County really fell in love with the wrong one." After finishing speaking, he changed the subject to ask Dorji to say something else, Dorji is also a smart person, Seeing this, I naturally stopped talking.

It wasn't until the meal was finished that the two sat and talked for a while before Doerji said his goodbyes. Yinhu sent him outside the mansion all the time, intending to send him back to the post station, but Doerji declined with a smile: "It's a farewell to send you off for thousands of miles. You can just send it here."

"I'll ask two servants to escort the county prince back."

"No need, there's not much to see along the way, so don't bother." Dolji said, and suddenly stepped forward and lowered his voice, "What I just said was from the bottom of my heart. My idea, Dorji must not change his mind, and he will only wait for the eighth elder brother to order." After speaking, Tong Yinyu smiled and blinked, then turned and left with his hands clasped.

Yinhu looked at Duoerji's back, and couldn't help laughing twice. I really don't know what the prince of the county is thinking. He should push himself to the cusp of the storm, but no matter how he expresses his intentions, Yinhu doesn't care. He will be moved by it, because in this life, he has never taken the matter of seizing the heir to heart.

After standing at the door for a while, Dorji and his entourage had disappeared, and Yinhu wanted to turn around and go back, but he felt a burning gaze staring at him firmly from the corner of his eye. He looked up and saw The man was wearing a blue shirt, holding a folding fan in his hand, perhaps because of the color of the clothes, it made his face a little softer than usual, and he seemed to be smiling, standing not far away looking at Yin禩.

For the past two days, she had been avoiding him with all her heart, but she didn't expect to find him.Yinhu looked at him in blank dismay, knowing that there was no way to escape, so he could only smile and call to him: "Fourth brother is here, come in quickly."

Yinzhen didn't see Yinhu in his study for the past two days, nor did he come to his house, so he knew that he was hiding from him because of what happened that night.Since he was avoiding himself, Yinzhen changed into some homely clothes and came to his house to look for him in person, only to see Yinhu saying goodbye to Dorji at the door.

If it was changed before, Yinzhen would probably be itchy by that "sweeping couch to welcome" angry teeth, but today, for some reason, when seeing Yinhu, there is no anger in his heart at all, and he still feels a little bit Feeling relaxed and happy, when he heard Yinhu calling him, he smiled and walked up to him and said: "You have taken leave for the past two days, I'll come and see you."

When Yinhu saw Yinzhen, he was still a little embarrassed and cramped, especially when he saw the concerned look in Yinzhen's eyes, although it was the same as usual, but looking at it now for some reason, he just felt a little awkward.Yinhu turned his face to the side and said softly: "It's nothing serious, fourth brother come in and have a seat."

Yinzhen walked in with him, and saw Hui Ning coming from the back room. After seeing him, he smiled and asked An: "The fourth brother is here, how is the fourth sister-in-law these days?"

"It's good. I was just talking about you. Honghui has been entangled with her for the past two days, and she can't be free."

Hui Ning nodded and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, I'll go over to see Sisao in a while. I'll let you make two bowls of sweet soup, and I'll take it to the study later, right?"

Yinhu shook his head and said: "I ate too much just now, and I don't want to use it anymore. Fourth brother, do you want some sweet soup?"

Yinzhen didn't eat these sweets very much, so naturally he shook his head and declined, Yinhu said to Huining: "Then don't bother, you clean up, and go see Sisao and talk to her later." Tong Yinzhen entered the study.

Yinzhen saw a few sheets of rice paper spread on the case in the study room, and the ink on them seemed to be freshly written, so he picked up one and looked at it, then looked at Yinhu and said: "The writing is empty and powerless, it is not done overnight, Compared with your previous writing, it has regressed a bit."

"My handwriting has always been like this. After all these years, I still can't catch up with fourth brother. It can be seen that I have no talent."

"That's not entirely true," Yinzhen put the rice paper in his hand gently and laid it flat, and there was a smile in his voice, "If you have nothing to worry about, you can naturally write a good handwriting, but you have something on your mind, and you can't concentrate. How can you write well?"

Yinhu felt uncomfortable being looked at by him, he didn't even know what to say, he hesitated twice, then closed his mouth again, and looked out of the window.

The peach blossoms in the courtyard are just in bloom, and the pink and pink are mixed like brocade clouds, competing to bloom outside. The wind in May is also gentle and brisk. The peach blossoms are gently swept to the ground, only to be picked up by the breeze for a moment, I don't know where it was taken.

Looking at such a scene, people's hearts would involuntarily soften, and the two of them were silent for a while in the room.After a while, Yinzhen walked behind Yinhu, and said in a low voice, "You have been avoiding me for the past two days, have you avoided enough?"

His voice was as gentle and deep as ever, but Yinhu was a little at a loss. Without turning his head, he said slowly: "I didn't hide from the fourth brother, but I just got cold from the wind. I'll be fine after two days of rest." .”

"Even so, why don't you look back at me?" Yinzhen leaned closer, almost leaning into his ear and said, Yinhu's ears were warmed by him, and she took a step aside, her eyes flickering, low Said: "The fourth brother was drunk that night, I will not blame the fourth brother."

"Didn't I tell you, I'm not drunk."

"Fourth brother is clearly drunk, what can't be admitted."

"The only thing I admit to you is what I said to you that night." Yinzhen said with a smile, "If you don't remember, I will tell you again."

"Fourth brother..." Yinhu met his gaze helplessly, and said to him slowly, "Fourth brother may have been confused for a while, we... are brothers."

Yinzhen is a very rational person, since he has confirmed his intentions for Yinhu, he will not escape and resist. Hearing what Yinhu said at this time was also something he had expected early in the morning.Yinzhen stepped forward and held Yinhu's hand, not allowing him to break free with great strength, and said softly to him: "Fourth brother may have frightened you by knowing this, so you don't have to give me an answer now, anyway , I've been waiting for so long, it doesn't matter if I wait a few more years."

Yinhu's hand was held in Yinzhen's palm, such an action that he usually took for granted could make his heart tremble unceasingly now, and facing Yinzhen's gentle whisper at this time, Yinhu was even more at a loss and didn't know what to do .He lowered his head and pondered over the words, with a lot of thoughts in his mind, but he didn't know where to start.

In the end, Yinhu had no choice but to let out a long sigh, raised his head to meet Yinzhen's gaze, and said somewhat unnaturally: "Fourth brother...I don't understand right now, I'm afraid..."

"It doesn't matter." Yinzhen interrupted him with a smile, the warmth in his eyes was comparable to the burning peach blossoms outside, "At first, I thought that this kind of affection would let me take it into the coffin, but last night, although it was through the strength of alcohol, It's also my sincerity, if you need time to think, I'll give you as much time as you want. There's just one thing, don't hide from me on weekdays, even if you can't respond to me now, I'm still your fourth brother."

Yinhu thought for a moment when he heard the words, but finally he was no match for Yinzhen's earnest and profound eyes, and nodded.

The relationship between the two seems to have added something, and it seems to have subtracted something.The melodious oriole sounds outside, the wind is clear and the sun is warm, and the flowers bloom in clusters, like smoke and clouds, make the house also have a touch of tranquility, gentleness and charm.

In September of the 36th year of Kangsi, the seemingly peaceful political situation became a little restless. First, there was an excerpt from the censor Liu Ruonai to impeach the governor of Shanxi, Ga Li, and to punish him for corrupting the law and exploiting the common people. It's a bird of a feather.

Not long after he was promoted by Kangxi, Gali was Kangxi's favored minister, and even the crown prince's confidant in Shanxi.As soon as Liu Ruonai's words came out, there was an uproar immediately. Both Suo'etu and Mingzhu wrote letters repeatedly, but one was to protect the other. With Kangxi's favor, how could he be a mediocre person, but he shunned all the blame for the crime with his smooth tongue, so Kangxi ordered a pardon without punishment.The matter should have ended here, but Mingzhu and the others were unwilling to be so defeated, and impeached several ministers of Suo'etu's party one after another, even Suo'etu was included in the list of impeachments.

However, it was none other than Gao Shiqi, another favorite of Kangxi, who impeached Suo'etu.

He used to be an aide in Suo'etu's mansion, saying that he "dictated and treated him as a slave." He also often "gnashed his teeth and cursed, insulting his parents and wives."

For Suo'etu, this is tantamount to a powerful accusation. Suo'etu knows in his heart that Kangxi's trust in him has been greatly reduced over the years, and it is impossible for Kangxi not to notice his private actions with the prince.

All these crises lurking under the illusion of calm are ready to go.
