[Red Mansions] The prince is polite

After Jia Mu returned home, she thought deeply about everything that happened in the palace. The hidden thoughts and various methods of those harem masters were commonplace, but it was really strange for the remarks about the sixth elder brother that were circulated in the palace. It was done by someone with a heart, and the sixth elder brother, who had no mother's support behind him, stood in the center of the storm of power and power, and was smashed to pieces by a little carelessness.As for why you want to target a small child like this?Puzzled.However, his appearance is indeed rare in the world. Even if he is so young, how long is it?It was also because of this that he was cherished by the two elder brothers who were considered to be very prestigious in the palace.

Thinking of when he was just born and carried to the Empress Dowager's palace, his handsome appearance seemed to be particularly eye-catching as if he had been cared for for a month. The fourth elder brother who was still young looked straight at him and vowed to protect the six. Brother, I don't want anyone to take advantage of it, but the babyish but extremely serious appearance thoroughly amused the Empress Dowager.Later, the just-right ingenuity and dominance protected the doll who only knew how to sleep, so that no one could see it or touch it. If it wasn't for the arrival of his emperor Lao Tzu, he would have been lifted away. thing.

The fourth elder brother is the most honorable mother and concubine in the palace, and has a deep relationship with the emperor, and the royal heirs have never been simple, not only precocious, but also have top-notch character. The best candidate for the position, but...

Mother Jia suppressed her turbulent thoughts, and as usual, invited Baoyu's attendant Li Gui, asked Baoyu's father's comments carefully, and then asked him to retreat.After pondering for a while, he understood a little bit, and felt a deep pain in his heart. Baoyu has been re-educated for so long, and his temper still cannot be changed. He really only looks like his grandfather in appearance.As for the eldest grandson of the second room, Brother Lan, he has always worked hard, and has been praised by Mr. Xueli without supervision.As for not trusting him for many years, besides guilt, he still felt guilty, but he could only make people pay more attention to food and clothing, and he was more than respectful to his grandma, but not enough intimacy...

And this year I feel deeply, my body and bones are incomparable with last year, and the foundation that has been maintained is also getting weaker and weaker because of the oil-like sorrow and family management, I am afraid that I will not be able to survive the year in my dream Years old.He closed his eyes and sniffed the little flower gardenia that some little girl had put in the room. Amid the elegant fragrance, he sat down slowly, relaxed his eyebrows slightly, and continued to think about things.

In the 20th year of Kangxi, Xiaozhuang decreed that Kangxi's personal eunuch Liang Jiugong proclaimed the decree. Concubine Tong was conferred the title of imperial concubine, concubine De was conferred the title of concubine De, and Lady Jia was conferred the title of Shangshu of Fengzao Palace and bestowed the apse of Fengzao Palace.The rest of the concubines who had given birth to the emperor also raised their positions one after another.For a while, the harem was full of joy and laughter.And the personal servant Xiao Liu was also slightly relieved, those plots finally subsided.

In the 22nd year of Kangxi, the eighth daughter of Emperor Tong, born to Concubine Tong, died in June.As for the three-and-a-half-year-old Sixth Brother, the small red mole on his forehead, which was the size of a grain of rice, has grown to the size of two grains of rice, making it difficult to distinguish between male and female.But under the guise of being sad, the fourth brother coaxed him to call him lord, and he was also given a bunch of blood amber, but he was still the fourth brother, and the fourth brother called him affectionately.The ninth elder brother Yinzhen and the tenth elder brother Yin'e landed one after the other, and were raised by their mother and concubine until they were six years old.

In the first month of the 23rd year of Kangxi, the 13-year-old Baochai Xiunv failed the election and was sent out of the palace.The sixth elder brother was taken by the fourth elder brother who was already five years old to live in the head house of Ganxi No. [-] in advance, with room and board in one room, and his relationship grew stronger.Entered the upper study room to study with Gu Badai, the master of the fourth brother.It started to get up early in the dark every day, unable to memorize books, not doing well in learning, and the haha ​​beads around me were all beaten and ordained.

In May of the 24th year of Kangxi, Jia Shangshu was canonized as a virtuous and noble person, and moved to the main hall of Fengzao Palace, and three new promises were added to the back hall.

On May 24th in the [-]th year of Kangxi, which was originally the day when the sixth elder brother died, Jiamu, who had been waiting outside the palace gate, tremblingly led the way by the little eunuch as soon as the palace gate opened, and wanted to go. Change the fate of the sixth elder brother, and hope that Jia's mansion can also be changed.

Chatted with Xiao Zhuang for a long time, and then said cautiously, "The summer solstice is approaching, the women specially made some cool summer purses, and want to hand them over to the elder brothers in person, and I don't know if I have the honor." Xiao Zhuang Seeing that it was almost time for school to end, she cheerfully asked Su Mo'er to lead Jia Mu and take the iced watermelon she rewarded to Elder Brother's place.

The pouches and the watermelon iced boxes were brought into the house by the haha ​​beads of the elder brothers.Only Jia Mu, who didn't see the fourth elder brother and the sixth elder brother, bowed her head to Su Mo'er and said, "Thank you for your kindness, I saw the sixth elder brother a few times when he was born, but it's been many years since I saw you." , can you stay here for a while?"

But I don't know, the sixth elder brother who only ate half a bowl of porridge in the morning, took a few bites of pastry, and was left in the hall, after being reprimanded, according to the request of the husband, just after reciting a few lines of poems, he was trembling all over his body. Cold sweat, body convulsions, suddenly fainted on the table, has been carried into the nearby palace, recruiting imperial physicians for treatment.

Before the emperor Laozi arrived, Yinzhen, who was lying beside Xiaoliu, caressed his bloodless cheeks that were bright with only a little red on the forehead.Immediately, he went around in circles in a hurry, his eyes were red, and he kept yelling at the few imperial doctors kneeling below, "Where are your medical skills that you are usually proud of? Why can't you check any The reason? Why can’t he be cured or prescribe a prescription? If the sixth brother has something good or bad, I only ask you..."

"Who is the only one asking? Who do you want to take? I have forgotten all about the etiquette of poetry and books that I taught you since childhood? Go away, don't point fingers here, it's not your turn here." Kangxi With a sullen face, Hei walked in quickly from the outside, and without waiting for anyone to pull the curtain, he took the lead in throwing off the crystal-encrusted curtain in annoyance, and almost tore it off with great force.

Kangxi glanced at Xiaoliu who had fallen into a coma, with his neck straight, his face black, and he was breathing in more air than exhaling less, and he couldn't help shouting angrily, "What is the reason, and the imperial doctor can't find it out? Call the imperial doctor Zhang here , are all dead people? Why are you taboo at this time?"

When Jia's mother heard the news that Sixth Elder Brother was ill, she shook her body, tears streaming down her face, and grabbed Su Mo'er's hand, begging, "Take me to see, let me tell the truth." , fidgeting all day long, I'm afraid the sixth elder brother had an accident and entered the palace..." Su Mo'er looked at Jia Mu in shock, but she didn't have time to think about it, so she let the eunuch who came to inform her lead the way.

As soon as Jia's mother entered the room, she saw Kangxi was weeping silently with a serious face, and the concubine De who was standing by the side of the bed couldn't help whimpering and shaking her body, while the fourth elder brother was sitting on his buttocks with a bloodless face. On the ground, there is no prince majesty anymore.The imperial physicians who were kneeling below did not dare to show any airs, only one old imperial physician was still standing bowed.The whole room was oppressed by dead silence, and Mother Jia quickly saluted, apologizing, and Kangxi waved her hand to take a closer look, and she couldn't help but feel her heart split.

Just when Xiao Liu rolled her eyes and foamed at the mouth, she didn't know how Jia's mother did it, she picked up Xiao Liu and walked out quickly, shouting incessantly, "Let's go, let's go!" I'm going back to the mansion, I can't keep you here, so follow me back to the mansion..."

Concubine De, who had woken up, chased after him and shouted, "Boldly, take it down for me", but Kangxi stopped him, and after another tear dripped from his eyes, he said in a hoarse voice, "There are such rules among the people, let's follow and see." Look, maybe there is still a glimmer of hope." After hearing these words, the fourth elder brother immediately rolled to his feet, ran to follow, and held the cold little hand of the sixth brother who was drooping outside.

Mother Jia kept holding Xiaoliu all the time, and walked out of the palace gate, followed by a large group, starting with Kangxi, followed by De concubines, and then the consul chief eunuchs, mothers, maids, and aunts.When approaching the gate of the palace, Kangxi stopped the chasing panting man, including the trembling Debi, who was carried by others, led the eunuch alone, and walked through the door .

I saw Jia Mu outside the palace gate was stopped by a Taoist priest who claimed to be a humble Taoist, pointing at Xiao Liu in Jia Mu's arms with crooked eyes and mouth, dancing with limbs and talking nonsense, "The appearance of death, the appearance of mortal death, must die today."

Standing aside, Yinzhen flicked back the braid hanging on his chest, and shouted loudly, "Where are you nonsense people, this is not the boundary where you cheat, eat and drink, leave quickly, and say something stupid again, little boy!" Lord, I will take you immediately."

Several guards at the gate of the palace immediately held tassels in their hands, intending to take the Taoist.The Taoist didn't care. He rolled up his sleeves, bent his sleeves, and shouted, "Oh, this self-proclaimed master is wrong. If I leave, this kid will definitely die. Do you believe it or not? If you don't believe me, we can try it?" After speaking, he turned his back, patted the dust on his knees, and raised his toes to leave.

Yinzhen, who didn't dare to use the sixth younger brother as an example, was stunned, his mouth was tightly pursed, and his red eyes were about to bleed.Only then did Kangxi pull Xiaosi, pondered for a while, and wanted to bow to the Taoist, but was stopped by the Taoist who turned around suddenly.I saw that the Taoist changed his expression of hippie smile before, and stroked his beard seriously, muttering in his mouth,

"Emperor's Forbidden City is located in the center; rituals, soldiers, and punishments are too small; officials, households, and workers are located on both sides of the Tianshiyuan. If the city is restored early today, I don't want to be contaminated by the palace. Those who wait for the mortal world to walk should not care too much, but the mission of Tianshiyuan has not been completed, we apologize, and after the end of the mortal world, we will come to plead guilty."

After speaking, he suddenly took out a longan-sized pill from his dirty arms, exuding a woody fragrance, and stuffed it into Xiao Liu's mouth and let him swallow it.Xu Zhen was shocked, and slapped the Taoist's wrist away. He didn't wipe Xiaoliu's bruised lips with his sleeve, but stroked it with both hands, and the tears that had been in his eyes for a long time finally fell down.

The Taoist shouted, "Okay," he took Yinzhen's tears dancing, flicked Yinzhen away, and wiped them all into Xiaoliu's mouth with his black and gray fingers.Yinzhen, who was pushed a few times, was finally furious, shouted violently, and waved to call the gatekeepers to take the Taoist priest down.

Kangxi, on the other hand, watched all this in silence, until Xiao Liu gurgled in his throat, shed tears, slowly opened his eyes, and shouted in a daze, "Fourth brother? I'm so hot", He only took a few steps forward, ignoring the rule of people not holding their sons, he held Xiao Liu firmly in his arms, kept checking up and down, and yelled, "Jiugong, quickly summon all the imperial physicians!" Come and see."

The Taoist priest rubbed his face on the ground fiercely, and spat, "This is alive, what do you want to see? Doctors in the world don't cure diseases but save lives. Remember, you must not live in the palace before the age of 13. Do not stay in the palace for a long time after the time of Haishi, be sure to remember."

Kangxi turned his head sharply, staring straight at the Taoist who was still chattering, waved at the soldiers, and then handed Xiaoliu to the overjoyed Yinzhen.Seeing Yinzhen hugging the somewhat limp Xiaoliu carefully, he slowly walked up to the Taoist priest, squatted down, stared at him from top to bottom, and threw the palace cloth tied around his waist on the Taoist priest's body. chest, asked lightly, "What are you asking for? Is this also your skill?"

The Taoist blinked, and suddenly laughed, although he was in a mess, but his face was very complacent, and he let out a light whistle, and replied clearly, "Cross all the turbid red dust that needs to be crossed, and shake everything that needs to be dispersed." The smog." Then he moved his body back and flung his sleeves away.Looking from a distance, that figure really looked like an immortal from the world, as if he was about to fly away.

The person has been away for tens of feet, but there is still a very clear voice, "The formula of that pill is the wood essence juice of all kinds of living wood in the season, and the most important thing is the Erqianwugen tears that person shed just now, Without this, it will have no effect. Taking one in three months will not cause any serious problems. The old Taoist has already violated the wishes of the gods, so I will go back to the mountain and shut myself up to think about my mistakes."
