seven steps

Expect

This is not the first time Yinhu wakes up next to Yinzhen, but it is the first time he wakes up shyly like this, the pain in his chest reminds him what happened last night, not that he regrets or anything, just shy .

"Are you awake?" Yinzhen's voice came from the side.

Yinhu let out a muffled hum.But what he didn't want in return was Yinzhen's chuckle.

"Get up when you wake up, it's almost time, let's go into the palace together." Yinzhen understood his shyness, and got up first after speaking.Get out of bed and get dressed.At this time, the matter of dressing naturally cannot be left in the hands of others.

Yinzhen deliberately turned his back to Yinhu, so that he would not be embarrassed to get off the bed.He could clearly sense the person behind him, moving slowly, with the corner of his mouth lightly hooked.

It was already half an hour after the two of them packed up.Xu Zhen asked someone to bring breakfast, seeing that the man used very little, so he took the initiative to add a few more dishes for him. "Eat more, look at how skinny you are, if you don't know, you'll think that my fourth brother has treated you badly."

"I can't eat anymore." Yinhu said.

Yinzhen frowned, thinking about whether he was not gentle enough yesterday, he couldn't help but reached out and touched the man's forehead. "What's wrong with you?"

Yinhu shook his head, "I'm just a little tired." After trying it, Yinzhen knew that he didn't have a fever, so he felt relieved. "You rest here, I'll go back and talk to Concubine Hui and Concubine Liang."

"Alright, I have Brother Lao." Yinhu thought for a while and agreed.If I go back like this, they will see me, so I will inevitably ask questions. It is better not to go back, so as not to cause trouble. If I am like this, even if they ask, they can't tell anything, but if I meet the prince, I'm afraid It's not so easy to hide.

Seeing that he agreed, Yinzhen was ready to enter the palace and face court, and when he left, he did not forget to leave a kiss on Yinhu's forehead, "Wait for me to come back."

Yinhu was slightly taken aback, yes, he likes such a delicate and gentle Yinzhen, let him know that he is different to him.

Yinzhen rode back to the city with a smile that couldn't be concealed from the corner of his mouth.There is no entourage around him, otherwise seeing him like this, he must think that his fourth elder brother is possessed by a ghost.After entering the palace gate, Gao Wuyong was already waiting outside, bringing court clothes.

Seeing him get off the horse, he immediately came up to meet him, "Master, this servant is waiting for you to change clothes. Why didn't Eighth Master come back with you? The slave also brought clothes for Eighth Master."

"I won't be going back to the mansion these few days. You go back and buy some clothes for Grandpa, together with Eighth Master's. You can take it with you when you go back to the mansion and tell Fujin."

Gao Wuyong didn't dare to ask more questions, so he quickly responded. After Yinzhen had changed into the court clothes, it was almost time to open the palace gate, so he sent Gao Wuyong back.Go to court by yourself.

There was nothing to do recently, so Kangxi only came here on a routine basis, and then Li Dequan called out to play if there was something to do, and then retreated to the court if there was nothing to do.The ministers present had nothing to say, so Li Dequan yelled to retreat from the court again.

At this time, Kangxi said to Yinzhen, "Fourth Brother, you follow me to Qianqing Palace."

Yinzhen didn't know why, so he just followed Kangxi to the Qianqing Palace. Kangxi looked at Yinzhen standing in front of him and didn't speak, but Yinzhen looked a little uncomfortable in his eyes.

"What do you think of the prince?" Kangxi said slowly.

"My son doesn't understand Huang Ama's meaning." Yinzhen replied respectfully, not knowing what Kangxi was thinking. Regarding this question, he dared not answer rashly. If the answer is not good, it will be lost forever. He knows the prince The significance for Kangxi.

Kangxi snorted and smiled, "You know what I mean, don't play tricks on me, I forgive you for your innocence."

Knowing that Kangxi was determined to tell him why, Yinzhen thought for a while and replied, "The prince's behavior has been slightly flawed recently, and his subordinates have also been restless, but I think it is also the reason for the war. The prince is busy supervising the country and has no time. Take care of everything."

"Nonsense!" Kangxi threw out these two words mercilessly, "Jianguo? You can figure out how long ago it was, and you can talk nonsense if you don't know. Why didn't I think you were so unreliable before? It is undeniable that the prince has a lack of virtue, you brothers should remember to help more, Yinzhen, you were raised by Xiaoyi, I know your character, you help Yinhu, but don't just help him. The crown prince is the future king of a country, and you brothers should assist him."

"My son is guilty."

"I didn't say you were wrong, let alone guilty. It's just... that's all, you go down."

"Yes, my son is leaving."

Yinzhen bowed out respectfully.I am going to pay my respects to Concubine De, and then go to Concubine Hui and Lady Liang to say hello.

Concubine De was lukewarm as always, so Yinzhen didn't stay much longer. To put it bluntly, he and Concubine De were basically bored to each other. It would be better not to see each other.

When I went to Concubine Hui, I didn't have much to say, I just talked, and Concubine Hui didn't say anything, but when I went to Mrs. Liang, Mrs. Liang still looked plain, but her smile seemed to see through everything.In fact, Yinzhen has always known that Lianggui is a smart woman.

"Si elder brother, sit down quickly and have a snack. I don't have any good things here, so I can only take some to find fourth elder brother." Lianggui smiled softly.

"Mother and concubine, please don't be polite, this time I'm just here to say hello for Yinhu. Yinhu was with me last night, and it was cold in the night, thinking he didn't have much to do, so I let him rest for a few days at my place I'm afraid that my good mother and concubine will worry." Yinzhen still respects Yinhu's mother.

"Alright, the child Yinhu is also bored in the palace, but I just need to trouble the fourth elder brother." The nobleman poured a cup of tea for Yinzhen, and said slowly, "Don't worry, concubine Liang, Yinzhen should also take care of his younger brother." Yes." Yin Zhen said.

"Yes, I'm confused." Lianggui smiled inexplicably.

"It's getting late, Yinzhen is going back first." After speaking, Yinzhen stood up and prepared to leave.

"Fourth elder brother, go slowly." Liang Guiren saluted, but did not see him off.

Although Yinzhen turned his back to Mr. Liang, he still felt that Mr. Liang was staring at him, and this kind of gaze made him extremely uncomfortable. This Mr. Liang has eyes that can see through people's hearts. Maybe that's why Kangxi fell in love with him. She, even the number one talented man in the Qing Dynasty fell in love with her.It is undeniable that this woman deserves it.

Yinzhen walked out of the palace quickly, at this moment, he suddenly felt like returning home.Outside the palace gate, Gao Wuyong was waiting with his burden.Seeing Yinzhen coming out, he ran over quickly, "Master, the servant has already returned to Fujin, Fujin said to let Master take care of himself, and if you need anything, just send a message."

Yinzhen nodded, and took the burden from Gao Wuyong.Get on the horse.When I returned to the courtyard, I saw that person sitting in the courtyard reading idle books, and suddenly felt at ease.

"Are you back?" Yinhu asked.

"Well, I'm back." Yinzhen said as he handed over the burden.

Yinhu didn't open it, so he carried it, and followed Yinzhen into the room, "You think we're like a commoner couple?" Yinzhen asked suddenly.

Yinhu was taken aback for a moment, then nodded after a while, "Like." But the brows were lonely.All this was seen by Yinzhen.

"What are you worried about?"

"Fourth brother, how long will you and I last?" Yinhu finally said what was in his heart. Both of them knew that the relationship between them was not to be tolerated in the world. If they were just civilians, they could go far away They were born in a foreign land, but they were all born in the royal family. The royal family is ruthless, so there is too much helplessness. Like them, they are destined to have no good results.

"Hope for the best." Preparing for the worst, Yinzhen swallowed the second half of the sentence and never said it.
