seven steps

The heavy snow in the 50th year of Kangxi was extremely heavy, and it came very early. It was probably only in October that snowflakes began to float.Concubine Liang's body was completely broken after being hit.The lingering sickness has not improved, and the person is also very thin, and the face that was originally small is now a little sunken.No matter how beautiful a person is, after being tortured for a long time, he will look haggard.Yinhu routinely entered the palace to greet Concubine Liang.Sit next to her and talk to her.Concubine Liang saw that her son's temples were starting to turn pale, she sighed, and waved her hand to make the maids serving beside her back down.

"Xiaoba, Erniang is dying now, you have to get along well with your fourth brother, you have been close since childhood, and now you can't be divorced."

Yinhu took her hand, shook his head and said, "Er Niang is used to talking nonsense, why not, but when it gets warmer tomorrow, E Niang's body will be sharper, and it's hard to avoid being uncomfortable in this winter."

"Xiao Ba, Er Niang has something to tell you, please listen to me."

It is rare for Yinhu to see Concubine Liang like this. After all these years, Concubine Liang has always been indifferent and didn't care about anything. Even to him, she just told him to take care of herself. There was absolutely nothing so top-secret to say.Although Yinhu was curious, he also listened to it.

"Little Ba, the crown prince is about to die, and he will definitely be deposed. Stay away and tell your fourth brother that it is better to protect yourself wisely. The muddy water of the crown prince can no longer flow. Your emperor Ama uses the crown prince as a shield, Now that the goal is reached, there is no need for it. No matter how much love you have for the prince, it has been exhausted in the past few years. Your Huang Ama sees everything you do. You and that child Yinzhen, Be careful. Yinzhi is not an opponent, he will never inherit that seat, maybe the fourteenth elder brother you want to see. Er Niang can't stop it, so I can only mention these things, Er Niang is useless, you can't Huang Ama's love, for all these years, I have nothing, I don't ask for anything, I just want to spend the rest of my life quietly, but if you can't bear your desire, that's the only way to go."

"Fourteen..." Yinhu recited silently, feeling suddenly stunned.

"Okay, you can go back, my mother is tired."

"Yes, my son will leave." Yinhu didn't stay any longer, tucked the quilt for Concubine Liang, turned around and went out, and let the maid who had just left go in to serve her.

When he returned to the mansion, he told Yinzhen these words, Yinzhen was quite surprised, of course he knew Concubine Liang's intelligence, and even because of Yinhu's relationship, he knew Concubine Liang's talent.It's just that she didn't expect Concubine Liang to say these words. For so many years, Concubine Liang didn't care, didn't support or object.But he would take the initiative to say these words.And they actually paid attention to the old fourteen who they hadn't paid much attention to.And then definitely not the third child.This can't help but the fourth child is not surprised.

"Why does the good concubine value Shishi so much? In the past few years, Shishi has basically had no movement. Even the ninth and tenth still follow you more, and there is no sign of turning to him."

"I don't know why Erniang thinks that he is more likely, but when I think about it carefully, if he wants to fight, then the start is easier than ours. Even if I have been in business for many years, it will be his in just a moment. What's more, he has a good mother and concubine." When he said the last sentence, Yinhu gave Yinzhen a sideways look.

Yinzhen shook his head and paid attention to him lazily.This little eight is now more and more talking about everything.There is no half of the appearance of a virtuous king.Seeing Yinzhen ignoring him, Yinhu smiled and said, "Fourth brother, to be honest, you are still very popular with me and Lao Shisan, but you are really unpopular in other places."

Yinzhen was practicing calligraphy with a pen.After hearing his words, there was another meal in the hand.After a while, he still chose to remain silent and continued to write.Yinhu leaned over to look, and saw that what he wrote was "There is no tree for Bodhi, and the mirror is not a stand. There is nothing in the first place, where is the dust."

In this regard, after Yinhu read it, he dropped two words "hypocritical."

Yinzhen put down his pen, still not angry.Instead, he said with a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, "Ba Ye is not at ease, and my husband naturally knows it. After all, Ba Ye has not improved his writing skills for so many years."

After Yinhu heard his words, the smile that had been on his lips all year round disappeared...

However, not long after Concubine Liang’s words passed, Kangxi once again abolished the prince, Yinzhen was framed, and the thirteenth elder brother ran out to take charge, saying that Yinzhen didn’t know about it, it was his own idea, and Kangxi imprisoned him in a fit of anger. Beekeepers are in the way.Therefore, everyone in the court knew that fourth master and eighth master were incompatible now, and even eighth master had no chance of winning.

Yinzhen naturally knows that all this has nothing to do with Yinhu, but it is absolutely inseparable from the nine elder brothers, ten elder brothers and fourteenth elder brothers. In private in front of Yinhu, it is inevitable that they will not show good face.Yinhu also knew that Brother Nine and Brother Ten had not been trained these days.Only the fourteenth elder brother, he couldn't say anything.Who knew that Yinhu had only said a few words that day, and elder brother Jiu shook his sleeves and left.Brother Ten looked at the direction that Brother Nine was walking, and sighed, "Myna, don't blame Brother Nine, even if we don't like anyone, we won't take the initiative to do such nasty things to Old Thirteen. Old Thirteen We all know what kind of temper we have. We really didn’t make it up, and it was too late when we found out. As for who instructed it, mynah must be aware of it. Our plans and calculations for so many years are not our own now. .Brother grows up, and his heart will grow too."

Yinhu naturally knew that the tenth elder brother was talking about the fourteenth elder brother, or even if the fourteenth elder brother didn't have that kind of thought before, someone would think about it for him now.Yinhu frowned, thought for a while and sighed, "Talk to Lao Jiu, sometimes you can just get out, now that the muddy water is messed up, since there is no hope, don't make wedding clothes for others good."

Elder Brother Ten spread his hands and said, "Myna, why are you stubborn? Now Brother Ninth, or we, are no longer trying to figure out that, just trying to make a living. Now we don't argue, based on our previous affairs, who will go up?" , it’s all good. Eldest brother, isn’t second elder brother just right?”

"Okay, don't talk about it, I know this in my heart, you can talk to Lao Jiu when you have time, there are some things, it's better to stop in moderation."

After Yinhu and Brother Shi separated, they went to see Concubine Liang again. The snow had stopped for the past two days, and Concubine Liang's complexion improved a little.Yinhu accompanied Concubine Liang and said a few words before returning to the mansion. Even if Concubine Liang was in the harem, she would not be ignorant of the affairs of the court. After all, this place in the palace is not a place where you can just settle down if you don’t want to know. .So she didn't stay with Yinhu much, so she let him go back quickly, now that there are so many disputes, it's not easy for him to stay in the palace for a long time.

The turmoil of the second abolished prince here has not subsided yet, another incident happened over there.Yinhu continued to enter the palace to pay his respects this day.Then he saw Concubine Liang leaning on the soft couch and looking out the window.After Yinhu went in, she turned her gaze, "Yinhu, go and call Yinzhen, my concubine wants to see him."

Yinhu knew that it was not suitable for her now, but she didn't say much, so she asked the maid to invite Yinzhen to come over.

When Yinzhen heard that Concubine Liang had invited him over, he was startled, thinking it was not a good idea.So without hesitation, he rushed over.In the past, Yinhu sat on the side of the couch, watching the plum blossoms outside the window with Concubine Liang.

"Yinzhen greets my good mother and concubine."

"The fourth elder brother is here, come and sit down, Yinhu, go out and see if the plum cake is ready, you can bring it here, and let them go down by the way, there are so many people here, it makes me dizzy."

Yinhu naturally knew that Concubine Liang had something to say to Yinhu alone, so she nodded and went out without saying anything.

"Does Concubine Liang have anything to say to Yinzhen?"

Concubine Liang smiled softly. Seeing Concubine Liang's smile like this, Yin Zhen thought of Concubine Liang when she was young, as if she was reluctant to leave anything on her face.Concubine Liang is indeed the most beautiful woman he has ever seen, even Nian's name is far behind. This kind of beauty is not only the appearance of sheep, but also the temperament of the whole body.Even the smile of Concubine Liang who is seriously ill now seems like a flower blooming for a moment. "Yinzhen, this kid Yinhu is too stubborn, so I'm begging you. He was born shorter than his brothers because of me, and he wants to fight for me. I haven't said anything these years, but I see it all, but I don’t want him to have scruples. I am not afraid of his failure, I am not afraid of his falling out of favor, and I am not afraid of his regret, because I know that you will help him and protect him. I also see you child, These years, thank you very much. Yinhu will also entrust you in the future. His temperament seems to be indisputable, but he has fought for everything. He is too paranoid. And you are indeed the one who fights or not. It's for that person. Some things, some words, don't say it because you don't know, but it's unnecessary to say it. Yinzhen, you say yes."

Yinzhen was not surprised or alarmed.He has always known that Concubine Liang is the smartest woman in the harem. She restrained her brilliance, preserved herself and Yinhu, but kept that man from completely forgetting her. She held everything in the best position degree.Just like the son of the owner's impartiality, no more, no less, everything is perfect just right.She has the beauty that all the women in the harem are jealous of, but all the women in the harem can't hate her, but feel pity for her.After he made the emperor admire him for a moment, even if he felt it was a stain, he still couldn't forget it.She knew that the prince in the harem was not easy to live, but she still protected Yinhu well.Even so good.This is Concubine Liang.A smart woman who is so smart that people don't know it, she is so comfortable, and she doesn't want to guess.If she were a man, Nalan might not be the number one talented man in Manchu and Han today.

"Mother and concubine don't worry, I have everything about Xiao Ba."

"Good over there. When Yinhu comes back, you two can go outside with me to have a look. It's been a winter, and I haven't breathed in a few breaths of the fragrance of the cold winter."

"Okay." As soon as Concubine Liang finished speaking, Yinhu came back and agreed, he and Yinzhen helped Concubine Liang up, and the two supported Concubine Liang, one from left and one from right, and walked around casually outside. "Yinhu, this snow also has a fragrance. The Forbidden City is the cleanest only when it snows. The concubine mother has never regretted it in her life, never. The mother and concubine's self-willedness for a while will no longer be."

"Mother and concubine, my son is not suffering."

"It's good that it's not bitter. The fragrance of this snow has not changed after so many years. It's so good..."

These were the last words left by Concubine Liang.

Yinhu accompanied Yinzhen to see off his mother and concubine, and now, Yinzhen also accompanied him.Regardless of whether it was Empress Tong or Concubine Liang, what I told them both was to be good to them.I want them not to change.

Yinhu kept kneeling and didn't cry.Yinzhen walked up to him in the dead of night and cried when he was sad.Yinhu shook his head and said, "After all these years, I'm used to laughing, and I really won't cry anymore."
