[Qing Chuan] The daily life of the seven princes

The imperial concubine was sitting next to the empress dowager, when she heard her son speak suddenly, she suddenly raised her head to look at him.

Originally, Concubine Rong was talking about the prince to Kangxi and the Queen Mother, but the concubines, princes, princesses, and royal relatives did not speak any more, and even the musicians at the side stopped playing music wisely, and the huge palace fell silent.

Who would have thought that, when the atmosphere was extremely awkward, Yinyou suddenly said such a sentence, everyone was stunned, only the empress dowager touched his head and narrowed his eyes with a smile.

The little guy was undecided, and after he finished speaking, he lowered his head again and started eating a plate of shredded tripe with scallion oil brought by the maid.

With the protection of the Empress Dowager, no one could say anything to him, Kangxi looked at him coldly several times, but he was buried in his hard work and did not receive Ama's warning eyes.

Being interrupted by such a distraction, Concubine Rong stood there without embarrassment, neither advancing nor retreating.

In the end, Kangxi waved her hand and asked her to return to her position.

So, that's how it happened.

As the Chinese New Year approached, the imperial concubine called Yinyou to Chengqian Palace on a special trip, brought him some dry cloth and asked him to give it to Mr. Fu.

Mr. Fu's life in the capital was not difficult. He had sons and daughters, and students were officials in the capital and teachers for Yinyou, and Kangxi did not treat him badly.He has always been given the official position of secretary in the cabinet, with a salary, and a residence in Xiyuan, and assigned attendants to take care of his daily life.

But Mr. Fu is still living the life of a master outside the world, he doesn't ask about political affairs, he doesn't talk about current affairs, and he wholeheartedly trains his unreliable little apprentice.

The imperial concubine will show something every year and festival, and it is not a reward, so Yinyou is only asked to take it to honor the master, and Mr. Fu gladly accepts it.

During the Chinese New Year, Yinyou moved to the Palace of Compassion and Peace again. It was his annual tradition to stay with the Empress Dowager for more than ten days.

The empress dowager is old, unlike the empress dowager, she can still walk around with her grandchildren every day.He could only sit in the main hall of the Compassionate Ning Palace. Every day, apart from chatting with Yinyou about the past, he would worship the Buddha and chant sutras.

It's like this when people get old, they can't remember things in front of them very clearly, but they can remember things decades ago clearly.Take it out and tell the juniors over and over again.

Not many young people have such good patience, they can sit there for an hour or two without doing anything, just quietly listening to the old man talking about the past.

Even when Kangxi came to sit for a while and talk to the emperor's grandmother, he had to ask Shang Yinyou to go to the study and ask his son to write a few words for him to read.

Yinyou's handwriting has been guided by Mr. Fu for more than a year, and the shadow of his childhood can no longer be seen at all.

Yinyou seldom goes to the South Study Room now, and Kangxi can't often see him practicing calligraphy, but once he sees it, he can't help but be amazed by it - it doesn't look like it was written by an eight or nine-year-old child, the Imperial Academy How many Jinshi and civil officials took out the examination papers, and many of them did not write as beautifully as his son.

Kangxi really liked it more and more. He wished he could take his handwriting to the court and show it to all civil and military officials: "Look, this is written by my son. You are envious."

Yinyou is actually a very patient child. If it wasn't for this, it would be impossible for him to throw away all the methods and habits of practicing calligraphy in just over a year, start learning from scratch, and learn so well and so quickly. .

Therefore, he was the child who could sit and listen to the Empress Dowager recalling the past for a whole day.

The point is, he not only listens to the empress dowager, he can also pick up a sentence or two from time to time, about those past events in Shengjing, about how the empress dowager was still the concubine Zhuang, how to rank second in the harem of Huang Taiji, and always Fall to the last of the five concubines.

The old lady didn't have any scruples, and told Yinyou everything she had or didn't have.About the love story between Huang Taiji and his sister that caused a sensation in Shengjing.

Hai Lanzhu was four years older than her sister Bumbutai, and was already 26 when she married Huang Taiji, and she arrived in Shengjing nine years later than Bumbutai.

Yinyou is fiddling with a set of toys, which he asked the manufacturing office to make for him a few months ago.It is a bit similar to Western building blocks, but quite different.The finished product of this set of building blocks is the Hall of Supreme Harmony, which is scaled down in proportion. Every street uses a mortise and tenon structure, which is more brain-inspiring and more interesting than Western building blocks.

Yinyou played with building blocks every day while listening to Mama Ukuma recalling the past.

The little guy raised his head in surprise: "Mama Ukuma, you actually remember the time so clearly for such a long time ago."

The Empress Dowager waved her hands slowly, and said in a voice that had experienced many vicissitudes: "I can't forget, I can't forget..."

How can I forget?

Although when Hai Lanzhu married Huang Taiji, the latter already had many Fujins, including her sister and his aunt.

However, she still got Huang Taiji's unique favor.After Huang Taiji proclaimed himself emperor, Hai Lanzhu was conferred the title of Concubine Chen and lived in Guanju Palace, second only to her aunt, Empress Xiaoduanwen.

This relationship is too complicated, Yinyou can't understand what aunt, sister, and younger sister are.He also lost his focus, he asked: "Is Guanju Palace the same Guanju as Guanjujiu?"

The Empress Dowager smiled and explained to him: "Then don't you just learn the arty style of the Han people? Let's call it the Palace of Harmony and Courtesy."

The little guy laughed and said, "What's the name, it's so funny, let's call it Guanju Palace."

He thought of something again, and asked, "Then what is the name of the palace where Mama Ukuma lives in Shengjing?"

Aunt Su Ma smiled and said, "I said it before, brother, think about it."

Yinyou recalled it carefully: "I remember, it's called Yongfu Palace."

With his interruption, the story of the Empress Dowager did not know where to go.It took me a long time to recall it, and the latter part was the story she would never forget every year.

"At that time, Dafujin of the Eastern Palace, that is, concubine Chen, gave birth to Huang Bazi. For this reason, the emperor pardoned the world and held a grand ceremony in Shengjing Palace to celebrate the birth of this little prince. The heads of various Mongolian tribes came to Shengjing to offer congratulations. Even Concubine Chen's mother...is also my mother, and was conferred the title of Concubine He Shuo Xian."

This story seems familiar. Although Yinyou is sure that he has never heard it, he seems to have heard a similar version, but he can't remember it for a while.

So the little guy asked: "Then what happened next?"

"Later, the child died after living less than one year old. The emperor was very distressed. I gave birth to Fulin, and he just came over to take a look."

"Fulin?" Yinyou thought for a while, "Is Fulin the old monk with a dharma name on Mount Wutai?"

The Empress Dowager did not answer, her eyes seemed to be looking into the distance through Yinyou.

The little guy lowered his head to fiddle with the building blocks again, and said casually, "He's so weird."

"It's strange."

The little guy recalled: "He looked at me very strangely, and said...and said I wanted to be alone."

Hearing this, the Empress Dowager's face darkened: "Nonsense! You are nothing like anyone, you are you."

Speaking of this, the Empress Dowager sighed helplessly and sadly: "The father and son are just alike, and they are also for the sake of a woman who is fascinated and amnesties the world."

It's a pity that no matter whether it was Concubine Chen or Concubine Dong E who were favored by Concubine Dong, their lives were not very good. The child died young, and he himself died of depression not long after.

Huang Taiji and Fulin's father and son were also outrageous. One cried after Hai Lanzhu's death and said that he was sad to have killed his own father, and the other was able to abandon even Jiangshan for Dong E's.

Yinyou listened to the gossip about his great-grandfather and grandfather all morning, and finally saw a trace of sadness in Ukumama's eyes.

It was not easy for her to assist two successive emperors who succeeded to the throne in succession.She tried to prevent her son from following his father's old path, but what she got in return was his endless hatred.

In the end, she failed to save her son's fate.

After listening to the story, the building blocks only set up a base.Next, the Empress Dowager was going to worship the Buddha, so Yinyou put down the toys and picked up the scriptures to recite.

Kangxi came to the Palace of Compassion and Peace every day to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager, and stayed for half a day.The main reason is that he will travel far away after the next year and wants to spend more time with his ancestors.

By the way, he can also play chess with Yinyou. Although this little guy's chess skills can't be said to be superb, but when you look at people with chess, every time this little guy makes a move, he always catches him by surprise, but when you think about it, it seems to make sense .

However, Kangxi never relents in playing chess with his son, and he wins when he should win.She didn't say that she wanted to refuse, but she still greeted him to play chess with her, or she deliberately reminded Huo to let him go and give him some confidence.

Finally, Yinyou curled his lips in frustration: "Ama bullies others, I won't play with you anymore."

Kangxi snorted coldly: "It's because you are not good at learning."

Yinyou packed up the chess pieces silently, sat there and did not speak.

Kangxi coaxed him again: "There are some famous chess records collected by me in Hongde Hall, and I allow you to take a look when you are free."

As soon as he heard that there was a new chess record to read, the little guy immediately turned his head: "Really?"

"real."

Yinyou asked: "But Ama is going on a long trip soon."

"Go and see, I will come back to the palace to see if you have made any progress."

Hearing this, Yinyou immediately became happy.

On the third day of junior high school, Kangxi invited eminent monks to the Great Buddha Hall to give lectures to the Empress Dowager.Yinyou also followed.

He was already standing quietly by the side, watching the Empress Dowager and Aunt Su Ma piously kneeling on the futon, reciting scriptures and listening to the explanations of eminent monks.

The eminent monk looked older than Ukumama, but his body was very strong.

Before leaving, he clasped his hands together and said the Buddha's name: "I haven't seen you for two years, and Xianjun has grown up again."

Yinyou smiled at him, stretched out his thumb and index finger, and made an "eight" gesture: "That's right, I'm already eight years old."

"Xianjun is the god of war in the heavens, and he is in charge of warfare. In the future, this protracted battle will still need to be quelled by Xianjun."

"what?"

The eminent monk sang the Buddha's name again, but did not speak again.

The Empress Dowager and Aunt Su Ma looked at each other, but without saying anything, the three of them walked out of the Great Buddha Hall together.

After listening to the eminent monk's words, Yinyou still had some expectations in his heart. He asked the Empress Dowager, "Can I go to war?"

After the Empress Dowager got seriously ill, her reaction was always a little slow.Even if Kangxi said something to her, it took her a long time to answer.

But today, her reaction was very fast, almost at the same time Yinyou's question came out, she said in a deep voice: "No."

"But, that eminent monk..."

"The eminent monk is getting old, his consciousness is chaotic, and he always talks nonsense. I won't ask him to come here in the future."

"Ah?" Yinyou thought to himself, he didn't say anything wrong, so he just cut off his fortune, isn't it good? ?"

The Empress Dowager leaned on a cane in one hand and led him in the other: "It's the same with another person."

On the day when Kangxi set out to tour the south, Yinyou followed his brothers and sent Ama outside the Meridian Gate.

This time Kangxi only brought the elder brother, the prince, with him, and even the prince stayed in the palace to handle government affairs with the cabinet, while the other princes continued to study.

He said he would not go out with her, but Yinyou still felt a little reluctant to part with her mother.

As he walked, he broke away from the team of elder brothers, came to the side of the imperial concubine, and secretly held her hand.

The imperial concubine was also reluctant to part with him, so she would not be able to see each other for a month or two. The mother and son had never been separated for such a long period of time.

Before getting into the carriage, the imperial concubine squatted down and hugged her son: "Do you have to know obediently?"

The little guy nodded: "Got it."

"Go and discuss with your brother if you have anything to do."

"it is good."

"Take good care of Mama Ukuma."

The little guy nodded: "Yeah!"

In the end, the imperial concubine hugged her son tightly, and was still reluctant to let go.

The little guy patted her on the back: "I will take care of myself, Mama Ukuma, and brother. Don't worry."

How can the imperial concubine feel relieved, Kangxi finally came over and gave her a hand: "Okay, he is already so old, he should learn to be independent. Besides, there are queen mothers and princes in the palace, so don't worry about it." gone."

The little guy stood there, watching the carriage disappear at the end of the road from a distance.

This little sticky man has always been coddled and hypocritical. The brothers looked at his back standing there alone and thought he was going to cry again.

Unexpectedly, when he turned around, he immediately jumped up with his hands, raised his hands above his head, and cheered: "Wow!!! I'm free at last, and no one will come to check homework in the morning! No need to memorize books You don't need to practice your words!"

The prince was still immersed in his own thoughts, thinking that the emperor's father would go out and entrust the government affairs to himself, and he must perform well so as not to disappoint him.

Who would have known, who would have known that this little dumpling actually had two faces, and just a moment ago he was still reluctant to say goodbye to Ama Erniang, with tears rolling in his eyes.

At the next moment, he was so happy that he jumped up and down again.

The elder brothers looked at me and I looked at you, and suddenly felt that what he said made sense, so everyone rushed up, surrounded him, talked and laughed and walked into the inner palace.

The prince glanced at the ministers who hadn't gone far, and wanted to reprimand them a few words, but after thinking about it, the younger brother and the others study hard from dawn to dusk on weekdays, it's really hard work, so they let them go.

Nalan went out with Kangxi, and Yinyou returned to the upper study room for a couple of months to study with his brothers.

The fifth elder brother and sixth elder brother are already nine years old, and Yinyou and eighth elder brother are both eight years old. Now they are going to start studying the most important classic for princes - "Book of Rites".

Yinyou's return to the study room is simply a nightmare for the masters of the Hanlin Academy. It's okay for Brother Qi to be mischievous, but the key is that he still has a group of supporters.

The ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother are still young and lack concentration, and they are full of admiration for the seventh brother.

The master shook his head on the top and narrated the lessons according to the scriptures, while the seventh elder brother vividly told the younger brothers the stories he read from various books below.

"It is said that Wang Ziyou woke up that night and saw that there was a lot of snow outside. He immediately asked the servant to bring wine. Looking around, it was white and silver. So he got up, wandered slowly, and chanted Zuo Si's "Poetry of Zhaoyin". Suddenly I thought of Dai Kui again, but Dai Kui lived a little far away, so he immediately took a boat overnight and arrived after a night. Guess what?"

Everyone was so excited to hear that, even the fifth elder brother, sixth elder brother, and the eighth elder brother who had always studied hard turned their heads.

Brother Six was impatient, and urged: "Don't be tricky, tell me quickly!"

Yinyou glanced at the front, the master was still staring at the book, shaking his head and reading:

Qu Li said: "Don't be disrespectful, if you are strict, if you think about it, if you calm your speech, you will be at peace with the people. Pride cannot grow, desire cannot be followed, ambition cannot be fulfilled, and joy cannot be extreme."

Yinyou smiled: "He walked to Dai Kui's house, but didn't go in, turned around and left."

Fifth elder brother asked: "Why?"

Yinyou didn't speak, Baotai guessed: "Because his good friend is not at home?"

Elder Brother Ten: "Because a good friend won't let him in?"

Brother Ba's focus is different from others: "Is Wang Ziyou the son of Wang Xizhi? I can also memorize Zuo Si's Poems of Zhao Yin."

Yinyou shook his head: "Wang Ziyou said: I originally came here out of interest, but now I've lost my interest, so I'll return naturally. Why do I have to meet Dai Kui?"

"..."

Brother Jiu asked, "Is he sick?"

Yinyou stretched out his hand and looked at his younger brother's head: "What do you know, this is Ren Dan's unrestrained and informal 'Wei-Jin demeanor'. There is also Dugu Lang's 'side-hat flair', which is what your seventh brother and I... , act according to one's own interests, interests, interests."

He was talking excitedly, and suddenly there was a "pop" in his ear, which scared the elder brothers all shrunk their necks and scattered like birds and beasts.

Yinyou lowered his head, saw the ruler suddenly appearing on the desk, followed the ruler up, and saw the master blowing his beard and staring, and was so angry that he said, "Seventh elder brother, you are a prince, how can you follow your own interests, interests, Are you interested in doing something?"

Brother Seven stood up and smiled awkwardly: "I'll just... just say it casually."

The master glared at him: "You recite the "Qu Li" that you just talked about."

Yinyou was at a loss: ""Qu Li"? Tell me about it...Where are you talking about it?"

"..."

The master shook his head, he was a bit naughty when he was naughty when he was a child, but because of his cleverness, the endorsement is still good.

It's good now, I don't know how to memorize books, and only mischief is left.

Although Yinyou can't endorse books, he is still very professional in telling stories to his brothers.Regarding the story of visiting Dai on a snowy night just now, after class, he popularized again who Wang Ziyou is, who Zuo Si is, who Dai Kui is, and what is "Zhaoyin Poetry".

But the brothers only love to listen to stories, and seem to have no interest in literati, only the eighth elder brother listens seriously.

He is simply a clear stream among the brothers, as long as it is related to study, he is interested in everything, and only when he praises Yinyou the most, no matter what Brother Qi says, he can listen carefully.

Years later, the third elder brother and the fourth elder brother had a lot of schoolwork. The two elder brothers were already twelve or thirteen years old, and gradually began to have the consciousness to help Ama share her worries. In addition to studying in the study, the two also consulted a lot of books.

San Age is a typical academic school and likes to study knowledge, whether it is the articles and poems of the Han people, or the astronomy and mathematics of the West.

The fourth elder brother is more pragmatic. In addition to studying farming, he is also interested in river engineering and water transportation, and has read a lot of related literature.

Yinyou couldn't find them to play chess, so he began to find opponents for himself among other brothers, and gathered all the brothers together to learn Go.

After a period of study, Yinyou found that what Ama once said to judge people by chess really makes sense.

Although everyone is at the beginner stage now, their personalities can be seen from their chess playing habits.

In the end, Yinyou decided to focus on training the eighth elder brother to be his opponent.Because the eighth brother is quick-witted and quick-witted, he can calculate many ideas, and it is a lot of fun to play chess with him.

The little guy would go to the Hongde Hall when he was free. It was the place where Kangxi usually studied. There were a large number of personal books of the emperor in it, and no one else was allowed to easily enter and consult them.

Kangxi promised his son that he would look for the chess records by himself, and before leaving, he also greeted the palace servants of Qianqing Palace, and Seventh Brother can enter at any time without restriction.

Yinyou is very familiar with Hongde Palace, he once studied here for a whole year.In fact, he has read many of the books in it, but he was too young to understand them.

The little guy wasn't interested in chess records or anything, he casually flipped through a couple of pages and put them back on the shelf. What he was interested in were those books that Ama hid to prevent others from reading them, especially the ones left by Nan Huairen before his death. book.

So, as long as the little guy is free, he runs here every day.Holding a book, sitting on the floor tiles of Hongde Hall, one can see it all afternoon.

Until the eunuch lit a lamp to urge him: "Seventh brother, go back and have dinner, it's already very late."

The little guy raised his head only to realize that the sky outside had gradually darkened. No wonder the head was getting lower and lower, and the words on the book became more and more blurred.

He is interested in knowledge of astronomy, geography, and navigation. After learning, he will tell his brothers about it, and combine it with the strange stories about the world from Nan Huairen.

The elder brothers liked listening to him tell stories, it was much more interesting than listening to the master tell "Book of Rites".

After the beginning of spring, the weather was obviously warmer for a few days. I don’t know why on this day, there was a heavy snowfall. The goose feather snow fell for a whole day and night, dyeing the Forbidden City into a vast expanse of white, matching the vermilion palace walls, The yellow glazed tiles are as beautiful as a painting.

It's windy and snowy outside, the sky is gloomy, and it's not suitable for reading in the house.This afternoon, Yinyou didn't go to Hongde Hall, but he had nothing to do.

He suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen the crown prince since the day Ama Erniang left the palace.I heard that the prince's elder brother is very busy now, and he has to keep reading memorials, memorials, and memorials.

Not only to watch, but also to start approving chapters based on what you have learned in the past.The prince has always been prudent and cautious in handling things, for fear of any mistakes or omissions.Therefore, a memorial has to be read over and over again several times, and the writing should be done with caution.

After he finished dealing with these things every day, it was already very late when he returned to Yuqing Palace.

The wind and snow were too heavy today, so he returned to Yuqing Palace early.Order people to take the unfinished memorials with them, and go back to continue reading.

When Yinyou arrived at Yuqing Palace, the prince hadn't come back yet.Mammy Xiong was instructing others to boil water, make tea, prepare the stove, prepare snacks, and then light up all the lamps in Dunben Hall.

Seeing Yinyou coming, he hurried forward to greet him: "It's so cold today, why is Seventh Brother here?"

Yinyou looked at her still a little trembling: "I... I'll come and see the prince brother, I haven't seen him for a long time."

"Then sit in the room, and the servant will pour you tea." Mama Xiong smiled attentively, but her smile was too exaggerated, like a mask, and children were always a little scared when they saw it.

Yinyou nodded and left without stopping.The palace servants lifted the curtain and Yinyou entered the room.He took off his cloak, took off his hat, walked to the next room and sat down on the kang in a familiar way.

Mammy Xiong brought in a cup of tea herself and placed it on the kang table in front of him.Yinyou nodded, meaning to let her go down.

But Nanny Rong didn't leave, she still stood there looking at him cheerfully.

Yinyou lifted the lid and took a look. There were emerald green tea leaves floating inside, and even the tea soup was brown, which he didn't like.

He raised his head, and was about to ask someone to bring a cup of scented tea, but saw Mammy Xiong still standing aside.

"..."

Yinyoucha didn't dare to change, she felt a little uncomfortable being seen by her, so he waved his hand: "You...you go."

Xiong Momo smiled and said, "This servant is here to serve you."

On the contrary, the little guy was a little cautious, sitting there without knowing how to put his hands and feet.The other party looked at him intently, as if watching him.

After a while, he suddenly remembered something, so he called out: "Mama Xiong."

Grandma Xiong was flattered: "Seventh elder brother, you can be regarded as calling the maidservant's surname correctly this time."

Yinyou smiled awkwardly: "Really?"

Mammy Xiong took a step forward: "What is Seventh Brother's order?"

The little guy involuntarily moved to the side: "Well, you... you... think about it, is there something you didn't do well?"

"Ah?" Mammy Xiong looked puzzled, she was the person next to Empress Xian, she followed Empress Xian into the palace, and after Empress Xian passed away, she always served by the Prince's side.None of the servants of Yuqing Palace is not afraid of her, even Suo'etu has to be polite when he sees her, who dares to say that she is not good?

Yinyou looked at her face and continued: "That means you are being lazy."

Mammy Xiong still had a smile on her face: "The servants are slipping away from their work, don't dare to be lazy."

The little guy thought about it again: "That means the prince brother doesn't like you, and doesn't want you to serve by his side."

When it comes to the crown prince, Mammy Xiong has a frightened look on her face.Relying on the fact that she was a former empress, she was very strict with the people around the prince, and sometimes she really made the prince unhappy.But after all, she is a loyal servant of the Hesheli family, and she thinks that she is the only one in the palace who is wholeheartedly thinking about the prince and Hesheli family.

The prince is younger and not yet sensible, but he should also understand her loyalty.Even if he was a little dissatisfied with her, why not let her serve in front of him.

Mammy Xiong didn't have the confidence to speak: "No... no way."

The little guy frowned and looked at him, then sighed again: "Then why did Concubine Rong say that she will re-appoint some people to serve the prince?"

"Rong... Concubine Rong?" Mammy Xiong showed a stern look on her face.He remembered that many years ago, when Concubine Rong was in favor, the emperor would sometimes ask these servants to send the prince to Zhongcui Palace to be looked after by Concubine Rong.

At that time, Mammy Xiong was quite critical of Concubine Rong, always feeling that this woman was too attentive to the crown prince, she clearly wanted to use the crown prince to climb up.

Naturally, she would not give Rong Concubine any good looks, and she would always bring up the identities of the former empress and the prince to beat each other in her words, so that Concubine Rong would always remember her identity.

But since the crown prince moved to Yuqing Palace, they had no contact with those women in the harem.

The only one who had some acquaintances was Concubine Ping, she was the daughter of a concubine of the Hesheli family, but she was not favored by the emperor.Mammy Xiong always felt that this concubine also approached the prince with a purpose.

Only when the prince treated her coldly and deliberately kept a distance, Mammy Xiong felt relieved.

But, what happened to this Concubine Rong?It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, but now that he thinks about it, he wants to get rid of her from the prince?

But even if you want to replace the servants who serve the prince, it should be the emperor who decides. What does it have to do with Concubine Rong?

Yinyou was also very surprised: "Don't you even know about this? Just last time, on the night of Laba, I said it in front of Ama and Huangma."

Laba?Laba is almost two months away.Mammy Xiong didn't go to the banquet with the prince.But after she came back, no eunuch beside the prince mentioned it, so how could she know about it.

"The servant didn't go, so I don't know."

Yinyou nodded suddenly.Now his body is much more relaxed, sitting on the edge of the kang, his legs hang down but can't step on the ground, just dangling in the air like that, looking leisurely and contented.

"Hey, you have taken care of the prince's brother for so long, and you have worked hard without credit. I don't know why, but Empress Rong still told Ama to appoint someone else to take care of the prince's brother."

When he spoke, his face was sincere, and he said it with a nose and eyes, so Mammy Xiong couldn't help but not believe it.

She thought in her heart, maybe she still restrained the prince and the people around him too much, which made the prince bored.

A few years ago, when the prince was still young, he still let her serve him close by, but now he only sends her to do some other work, and he doesn't ask him to serve him close by.

Just when Mammy Xiong was getting colder and more panicked when she thought about it, her master came back.

The prince had just walked to the door, picked up the curtain and walked into the hall, and listened to Yinyou's last sentence endlessly.

Afterwards, Mammy Xiong walked over and knelt down in front of him with a "plop": "Master...Master, the servant did something wrong, you should punish the servant."

The prince frowned at her, not knowing what she was acting out: "What's going on, please tell me!"

Madam Xiong was still in a state of panic: "The slave servant followed the late queen into the palace and served loyally. There is no credit but hard work. Please show mercy to the prince and don't let the servant leave your side."

The prince was physically and mentally exhausted by the government affairs of the previous government, and he had to listen to her crying when he came back, and his patience was exhausted: "Who said you should leave?"

Mammy Xiong suddenly turned her head to look at Yinyou: "It's Brother Qi, Brother Qi said that Concubine Rong will assign new servants to serve you by your side."

The prince couldn't help but blush when he heard this, and looked at Yinyou angrily, and then reprimanded Xiongmama: "Nothing, just listen to his nonsense and go down to do your work."

"Prince..." Madam Xiong looked at him suspiciously, and for some reason he blushed.

"Stop talking nonsense, get out!"

The last sentence "go out" the prince raised the volume, which made Mammy Xiong tremble, kowtowed quickly, stood up, and exited the hall.

The prince glanced at the silent eunuchs beside him: "You guys go out too!"

"Yes."

After everyone had exited the hall, the prince walked to the kang without a good mood.

He just took off his hat and cloak, and before he could change his clothes, he approached Yinyou with a cold air, feeling quite oppressive.

Xiaotuanzi involuntarily bent his legs and pushed back, shrinking himself into a corner.

The prince's face turned from red to blue now, and he couldn't help stretching out his hand, pinching his cheek hard: "Are you free?"

"What?" Yinyou's face hurt from being pinched by him, and he hurried to hold his hand, "It hurts...it hurts...brother Prince..."

The prince let go, seeing two finger prints appearing on his white and tender face, he couldn't help but put the pad of his thumb on it, and rubbed it gently.The tone of the speech also eased a lot: "You said, what are you doing to scare her?"

The little guy pouted, obviously still a little scared: "No... I didn't scare her. I heard it clearly when Concubine Rong really said that she would assign two people to serve you."

"..."

As soon as he heard "Appoint two people to serve you", the prince's face turned red again, and he was so angry with this little group that he wanted to pinch him again.But looking at his younger brother's pure and innocent face, he was reluctant to make a move.

"You...you little fool."

The prince sighed helplessly, and forced him to sit down on the same side of the kang, patted his leg: "Come here, let the prince brother hug you."

Yinyou shook his head: "I don't, you look so fierce."

The prince raised his eyebrows: "Are you afraid that I will hit you?"

Yinyou nodded, then continued to shake his head.He didn't say anything, but thought in his heart: "I'm afraid I'll fight back, you won't be able to stand my blow."

The prince really had nothing to do with him, and said helplessly, "When did I hit you?"

"You didn't hit me, but you just pinched me."

The prince said: "Then I...then I apologize to you."

Yinyou still huddled in the corner without moving: "What's the use of apologizing?"

"Then what do you want?"

The little guy thought for a while, and boldly made a request: "Then let me pinch you too."

The prince said coldly: "The face of the prince is the face of Donggong. Can anyone pinch the face of Donggong?"

"..."

The two brothers confronted each other, and the crown prince added: "However, if my younger brother wants to pinch, let's pinch."

As soon as he finished speaking, he didn't know why, but he felt a blur in front of his eyes.The little guy who was just shrunk in the corner was already sitting on his lap at this moment, with his two little hands moving sideways, pinching the flesh on his face and pulling it out.

"..."
