[Comprehensive] The Giant of the Red Chamber

In a blink of an eye, the 47th year of Kangxi was ushered in, which officially kicked off the prelude to Kowloon's seizure of the heir.Yinzhen followed Jiang Yingrong's suggestion and began to pretend to be ill and retreated behind the scenes, so that he would no longer show up in front of others easily. The illness was not all faked at the beginning. , Yinzhen wanted to show his weakness again, coughing twice in front of Kangxi and others from time to time, and the household department would ask for leave every three to five days, and he was no longer the diligent and dedicated look he used to go to battle even when he was sick.So three or two months have passed and there is no improvement. Yinzhen always looks sick and uncomfortable to the outside world. Most people believe that Yinzhen is really sick. If it is not really sick, there is no other way. It would be foolish to pass up a great opportunity.Of course, there are also a small number of people who suspect that Yinzhen is pretending to be sick, but they can't produce any evidence, so they can only doubt in their hearts. Still wary of Yinzhen, but no longer as anxious to find Yinzhen's fault as before.

Regardless of what other people are like, Yinzhen's pretending to be sick has brought many benefits to him, and he has seen many things that he hadn't seen clearly before.The first thing is to successfully avoid those ministers who smell fishy and come to curry favor with him. These people are not good enough to refuse without pretense. It's not worthwhile to offend a single shot, it's like killing a chicken to get an egg is too uneconomical, but if the hypocrisy meets the snake on the surface, and the hat of party and selfishness is properly buckled, you can neither advance nor retreat, you can only hide, so that you will neither offend nor be framed Suspect.The person you want to woo can't hide all day long, and gradually the enthusiasm of those interested people gradually fades away, and some people can't help but start laughing in their hearts. Helping but knowing how to take advantage of the situation is like an ignorant little doll holding a gold brick, who has treasures but can’t spend them. It seems that he can’t get things done, so it’s better to choose another master.

The other thing is to really see the true nature of the prince. No matter how good the second brother of the prince is in martial arts and martial arts, he lacks the courage and mind that a king should have. He was just honored and favored, so he began to have doubts about himself who had followed him loyally for many years. Zhen was angry, but also unspeakably disappointed and chilled.These years, not to mention anything else, Yinzhen did his best to do those things for the prince without any credit or hard work, not to mention that he was one of the few brothers who firmly supported the prince, but he was directly obliterated because of some false suspicions of the prince. I believe that old people only trust outsiders, those defensive eyes and probing words began to wear away Yinzhen's affection for the prince, and he really began to reconsider. Grinding and killing donkeys will not miss old love.

For a while, the fourth master's mansion was desolate, compared to the constant stream of cars and horses at the eighth master's mansion, it was even more desolate.Ba Ye has always been a virtuous and virtuous corporal. He is very kind and easy-going, considerate and meticulous in dealing with others, flexible and gentle, and does not stick to regulations and status.This time, because the status of Shishi, who was already on good terms with him, has risen, most of the people who want to curry favor with him belong to Ba Ye, and the momentum of Ba Ye's faction has grown even stronger. Spirituality, gaining such support is the first among princes, even the prince has to retreat to a place where he feels that when the time comes, the future can be expected.

Although Yinzhen suffered a lot of idleness this year because of his low profile, there were also good things happening in the mansion. Lin Yu finally had good news again.The belly of this baby is bigger than normal pregnant women. This time it is not like the first baby who has morning sickness. I have never seen any discomfort since I was diagnosed with pregnancy. After she was pregnant, she grew up a lot. Every time Yinzhen saw Lin Yu's way of eating Hesai like that, she couldn't help but tremble with fear. After all, she was pregnant with a son who could eat so much, and he only picked meat to eat. Advise to control one or two, but every time Lin Yu is hungry and tears, sometimes he wakes up in the middle of the night and tosses and turns on the bed, unable to fall asleep. Slowly, Yinzhen really can't bear to watch it. The rations for pregnant women can't afford it, so they don't control it cruelly anymore, but they always take Lin Yu out for more walks. Sitting at home with nothing to do, he happened to stare at Lin Yu.It's a matter of life, Lin Yu eats what he eats, and he knows the seriousness, even if he has a big belly and it's difficult to move, he still insists on being supported to walk a few more laps.

This baby is twins that Lin Yu carefully asked for. The strategy system for giving birth to a son is naturally cooperative, and even arranges identical twins according to Lin Yu's request.This is another careful plan of Lin Yu. Yinzhen will succeed to the throne sooner or later, and her son has to be born. Otherwise, if Yinzhen leaves early in the future, she will have no son to go out of the palace to take care of her, and she will be the concubine for the rest of her life. Trapping one's identity in the palace will kill one's life.But after giving birth to a son, it is inevitable that she will fall into the danger of seizing the heir, even if she teaches her son An An to be a free prince, but she can't guarantee that Ulanara and Hong Hui who has grown up think so much, so after thinking about it, Lin Yu I thought it would be best to stop the matter of seizing the heir from the source, and I thought of the idea of ​​twins in a flash. The royal family does not allow twins, but if the twins look exactly the same, the possibility of succession is basically impossible, unless one of them One dies, otherwise two people who look exactly the same are suspected of cholera.So this belly is naturally bigger than a normal pregnant woman, and her food intake has also become super large. The imperial doctor has diagnosed twins a long time ago, so Yinzhen has been watching so closely. There are not many examples of royal twins, but it is still a matter of real birth. It's a happy event, at least there are two more heirs in the Baylor House, and Yinzhen at this time can't think of such a long-term.

So before Yinzhen Qiuxi left, nothing was more worried than Lin Yu, who was about to give birth. He arranged a lot of capable manpower, and told Ulanara several times. Don't be jealous, Hong Hui has grown up and his status has been stabilized. They are just two newborn babies, and they don't know whether they are male or female, so they can't get confused.At this time, the Uranala family naturally did not expect that one day her family would win the throne, so she didn't feel so oppressed and threatened in her heart. She knew that if she didn't do anything or interfered with it, the mother and child could not be safe, not only Belle. If you want to blame her, I am afraid that the empress in the palace will also be displeased, and Ulanara will not do things that are too much to be worth the loss.

The annual autumn festival started as scheduled, and Jiang Yingrong accompanied her as usual, but this time the concubine Nian, who had always been favored, did not accompany her. Nothing happened, maybe it was just her imagination, and she couldn't trap herself for these non-existent things, otherwise, wouldn't this life be wasted again.Especially when Jiang Yingrong rescued her from danger, there was no other kind of honor and favor for a while, Nian concubine judged the situation and no longer dared to compete with him, said some ambiguous words to provoke secretly, her eyes no longer stared at Jiang Yingrong, Nian concubine wanted to have a child by her side , I don’t know if I’m in a happy mood. The concubine who has been favored for many years and has not moved, but has been favored by a few times, she has a happy pulse. She hoped to have a healthy child, she thought that as long as she could give birth to a healthy child, those scattered memories would be completely broken, and in the future, those few years would be just a dream, and An An would live with the child.

But concubine Nian finally paid for the little tricks of the past few years. Now Kangxi puts Jiang Yingrong first. In this way, it is harmless, even Jiang Yingrong herself doesn't care, she already has a little love for the concubine Nian, so Kangxi let her ignore it.But since the rescue incident, Kangxi no longer thinks that way, and even suspects who arranged the chess piece for the purpose of deliberately targeting the Yonghe Palace. Some things cannot be scrutinized. Concubine Nian gradually faded away, and she was no longer as enthusiastic as before. The only few times she favored her was to test her in the past, but the results of the trials were not satisfactory, because Concubine Nian suddenly figured it out, and there was no more love. However, Kangxi's suspicion was even more aroused by his actions, and he thought that the concubine Nian was a scheming person.So the happy event of pregnancy did not dispel Kangxi's doubts. Kangxi's attitude was indifferent. Concubine Nian was quite uncomfortable, but she could only endure it, after all, the palace people didn't treat her harshly, did they?

Concubine Nian fell out of favor, and Wang, who had no big thoughts, came into Kangxi's eyes again. In addition, the eighteenth elder brother Yinyou who was born was born smart and smart, and Kangxi always felt that the older the son was, the more disobedient he was. He could only seek comfort from his underage son, so he doted on Yinzhu even more.But on the way, the eighteenth elder brother suddenly fell ill, and his condition worsened sharply, which seemed to be life-threatening. As a last resort, Kangxi decided to suspend Qiuxi and lead his troops back to the capital. It got worse again, and the high fever persisted in Burhasu Palace, and all the imperial doctors were helpless.

Wang is a typical daughter of the Han family in the south of the Yangtze River. When her son is seriously ill, she is still crying, and Yinzhen is struggling on the bed, crying weakly, "Huang Ama, Emiang, help me." Weeping silently on the side, secretly saddened, the imperial doctor couldn't do anything about it, what could she do.Kangxi was also annoyed by Wang's crying at this moment, but she was Xiao Shiba's biological mother, and she couldn't bear to drive her out when she was so seriously ill, so she could only keep out of sight and out of mind, and turned her head to force the imperial doctor to find a solution.

The imperial physicians who knelt down all hung their heads, no matter how intimidating Kangxi was, they could only say one sentence: "I am incompetent." The imperial physician sentenced him to death.At the same time, both the imperial concubine and the youngest son were important people, and the successive accidents made Kangxi feel a little bit depressed and helpless.

"Why did the imperial concubine use ice cubes to reduce her fever last year, but Xiao Shiba couldn't?"

The kneeling imperial physicians looked at each other, they didn't know, and finally the leading imperial physician boldly said: "It's probably because the imperial concubine and the eighteenth elder brother have different fevers, one is infection fever, the other is cold fever."

"Yomo, Yomo, I don't want to listen to such uncertain words, I order you to come up with a prescription as soon as possible." Kangxi's majestic eyes wished to kill the incompetent imperial physician, but he inadvertently caught a glimpse of the crown prince Yinreng who was standing aside. His expression was indifferent, as if he had nothing to do with himself, and compared to the frowning or worried expressions of the other brothers next to him, the more he looked, the more dissatisfied he became, and he couldn't hold back the anger in his heart and loudly reprimanded:

"Prince, if you don't want to wait here, go back."

It was the first time for the prince to be reprimanded in public like this, and in front of so many brothers, especially as soon as Kangxi finished speaking, the prince felt the ridicule and secretly scrutinized by the brothers behind him, as if steel needles were piercing his heart, consciously There was nothing wrong with him, but he was slapped in the face by Kangxi in public. For a moment, his chest was filled with anger and hatred, and a little bit appeared on his face, and his eyes could not be faked.

Kangxi saw that instead of waking himself up, the prince was furious, with a trace of jealousy in his eyes, and he was even more disappointed in his heart. Thinking that what he had done in the past year had become more and more excessive, and was about to continue to reprimand him, a voice from outside said "Emperor" The imperial concubine arrived" temporarily blocked Kangxi's anger, but the eyes staring at the prince became more and more cold.

"My concubine pays my respects to the emperor." Jiang Yingrong didn't seem to feel the tension in the room, and everyone in the room was slightly relieved because of Jiang Yingrong's arrival, but the few princes headed by Yinti secretly felt sorry for Jiang Yingrong's arrival At that time, this indirectly helped the prince to block a wave of anger.

"Excuse me." Kangxi's complexion was slightly better, but the worry and anger between his brows were still obvious.

"Hello, Empress Dowager."

"Exemption."

"How about little eighteen?" Jiang Yingrong helped Kangxi to sit down. She could see that Kangxi was already trembling with anger. May be sick.Before coming here, Jiang Yingrong used a special kind of incense. This incense can soothe the liver and disperse the qi, and can make people calm down gradually. Sure enough, Kangxi smelled the vague fragrance on Jiang Yingrong's body, and felt that his chest was about to explode. The depression gradually dissipated, and the body gradually relaxed, thinking that it was because Jiang Yingrong was by his side making him comfortable, the flush on his face also gradually faded.

"Not very good." Kangxi rubbed his tired forehead, with a look of regret about losing his son.

Jiang Yingrong also showed some pity on her face, and went to the front of the collapse to take a closer look, then touched Yinzhen's forehead, turned her head and said: "Long live, my concubine sees that Xiao Shiba is not breathing steadily, and there are so many people around the house. It is inevitable that the breath of many people will be mixed, it is better to disperse first, so that the imperial physician can concentrate on diagnosis and treatment."

Kangxi waved his hand feebly upon hearing this, and the princes hurriedly said, "Your subjects will leave first."

As soon as a dozen or so people left, the room was indeed much brighter, and even the air seemed to be much fresher.Jiang Yingrong took off her armor and bracelet, and sat on the couch, looking like she was going to take care of the eighteenth elder brother herself. Kangxi saw it but didn't want to give Jiang Yingrong a bad reputation, so she stopped her and said, "You are not in good health, and you have a maid to take care of you. You don't have to do it yourself."

"The concubine is the mother-in-law of several children. When the children were sick, the concubine took care of them personally. The little eighteen had to call the concubine to be the mother-in-law. It would be tiring to take care of one or two." He wrung the wet handkerchief The son wiped Xiao Shiba to cool down, and did not forget to ask:

"When can I feed the decoction for fever?"

"Back to the empress, the eighteenth elder brother is in a coma, and the soup and medicine can't be taken, so the high fever can't be relieved." The imperial physician at the side also had a bitter face.

"Go and bring the medicine." Jiang Yingrong stood up and changed her position, intending to hold Xiao Shiba in her arms, but Xiao Shiba is eight years old after all, and the weight is not light. The son finally moved, and helped to lift the legs so that Xiao Shiba could nest comfortably in Jiang Yingrong's arms. After finishing, she continued to wipe away tears, and she didn't know where so many tears came from.Wang Shi is a simple woman, so she doesn't doubt Jiang Yingrong's purpose. If the imperial concubine and concubine don't take care of her sincerely, why bother to go into the muddy water, Wang's rare clear head.

Then I saw Jiang Yingrong holding Xiao Shiba, as if coaxing a child, patting gently and leisurely, and softly said to Xiao Shiba's ear: "Little Shiba, De Erniang knows that you can hear De Er What mother said, De'eniang knows that you are uncomfortable, but as long as you listen to De'eniang, the pain will fly away immediately. De'eniang knows that bitter medicine is not good, but Xiao Shiba is already a little man Now, in the future, Xiao Shiba will still be a member of Batulu, and Te'eniang believes that Xiao Shiba will not be afraid of hard medicine, right?"

Jiang Yingrong coaxed all the imperial physicians to be stunned for a while, but he didn't expect much in his heart. The eighteenth brother's teeth were closed, how can he be coaxed with just a few words, let alone when the child is awake It's hard to coax, let alone when you're in a coma.But Kangxi was moved by Jiang Yingrong's maternity halo. This is his imperial concubine Dehui. There is no other woman like her in the world.

Everyone present did not report their hopes, but what happened next caught everyone's attention. Jiang Yingrong scooped up a spoonful of warm soup, handed it to Xiao Shiba's mouth, and still coaxed softly: "Little Shiba Open your mouth and drink the medicine, and it won’t hurt after drinking.” In fact, the other hand used the clothes to cover the Hegu acupoint and pressed the Hegu acupoint cleverly, forcing Xiao Shiba to grow his mouth. Of course, pressing the Hegu acupoint normally cannot make a comatose person open his mouth. , but Jiang Yingrong lost a bit of aura to go in. She has a strong soul and has experienced many worlds of cultivating immortals.

Then, while everyone was stunned, Jiang Yingrong coaxed him to feed a spoonful, and the eighteenth elder brother drank a bowl of medicine. Although some of the medicine flowed out, at least it was fed in. It is a good thing to be able to feed it. His life seemed to be saved again, and Kangxi was even more overjoyed.

In the end, Jiang Yingrong wiped Xiao Shiba's mouth clean with a handkerchief, and did not forget to praise: "Little Shiba is so brave. When Xiao Shiba wakes up, De Erniang will order someone to prepare sweet preserves, okay?"

Jiang Yingrong was sweating from exhaustion, Cuilu wanted to take Eighteenth Elder Brother so that the empress could have a rest, but Jiang Yingrong stopped her and said: "Sick children are the most disturbed, I will hug and coax them for a while." At the beginning, he was shaking slightly, and he was still singing a soft song softly. The eighteenth brother seemed to have found a safe haven, and he curled up in Jiang Yingrong's arms attachmentally, his complexion gradually began to improve.

Seeing this scene, Kangxi suddenly remembered that when he was young with smallpox, he was lying alone on a cold bed, restless and helpless. If there was such a warm embrace to hug him and coax him, his life would not be so difficult. For a moment, she felt a little jealous of Xiao Shiba lying in Jiang Yingrong's arms.
