Dressed as Su Peisheng

Kangxi 37 years

July

The emperor asked the empress dowager to visit the mausoleum in Shengjing, and ordered the eldest son of the emperor Yinti, the king of Duoluozhi County, the third son of the emperor Yinzhi of Duoluocheng County, the fifth son of the emperor Dorobeile Yinqi, the seventh son of the emperor Dorobeile Yinyou, and the ninth son of the emperor. Zi Yinzhen, the emperor's tenth son Yinju, and the emperor's thirteenth son Yinxiang accompanied him. Among the princes who were ennobled, only the fourth and eighth elder brothers were not among them.

The fourteenth elder brother learned that the emperor took Yinxiang with him, but he didn't take him with him, so he ran to Yonghe Palace angrily to complain, but was reprimanded by Concubine De.

Yinti felt wronged, blushing and refused to admit his mistake.

Concubine De resignedly said perfunctorily, "You are two years younger than Yinxiang. Besides, didn't Elder Twelve go too? And your fourth brother, starling."

"Madam Su is not in good health. The twelfth brother had to serve her so he didn't go. The starling just got a reward recently, so if he doesn't go, he won't go. Then why didn't Huang Ama take me? Is it because the fourth brother—"

"Shut up!" Concubine De raised her eyebrows, "Your younger brother can complain casually about your fourth brother? If Er Niang hadn't cherished you back then, she wouldn't have let your fourth brother—" De Fei wanted He stopped talking, and sighed heavily, "Anyway, it's right not to take you with your current temper. You just go back to Maoqin Hall to study honestly, and you are not allowed to go out for a month!"

"Er Niang!" Yinti wrinkled his face, Concubine De turned to Qingju and said, "Send two people back with Elder Brother Fourteen, and let me watch him for a month."

"Yes," Qingju leaned over to accept the order, Yinti pouted, snorted vigorously, turned and ran out.

Yanxi Palace

Concubine Wei Wei helped Concubine Hui arrange the silk cloth, and a child's vest was hung on the shelf.

Wei Shi looked at the vest with a lot of cotton and said, "Your Majesty, this is for Hong Yu. Look at the embroidery pattern is really exquisite."

Concubine Hui smiled, "I finally got such a grandson, how can I be careless?"

Sitting on the couch, Wei Shi thought for a while and said, "It seems that I haven't heard of it for a long time. There is movement in the backyard of Big Brother."

Concubine Hui sighed, "No, Yinti is busy all day long. Except for Fujin, he doesn't like anyone in his backyard. I still want to wait for him to move. The place is big, let him have two more people in the backyard."

Wei Shi nodded, "It should be. However, elder brother has a lot of things to do, and he goes out with the emperor several times a year, and he leaves for several months. It's normal for him to be negligent about the affairs in the backyard."

Concubine Hui looked at Wei Shi, and smiled slightly, "This time the emperor went to visit the mausoleum in Shengjing, and the elder brother was just going to help, so he couldn't do anything. Don't worry about the eighth elder brother. He is young and has just been sealed. Jue, we are on the cusp of the storm, if we go out with the emperor again, wouldn't it be like fanning the flames? The emperor did this to protect the eighth elder brother."

"Your Majesty is talking about it," Wei nodded, "Eighth Prince is blessed by your Majesty. Being able to be named Baylor at such a young age is already a blessing in his previous life. How could he have the heart to pick on such nonsense. When we move back to the mansion, I have to rely on his elder brother to take care of him."

Concubine Hui waved her hand, "Yinhu also grew up by my side, and I loved him as my own son. From now on, he and eldest elder brother should support each other and rely on each other as they should."

Wei Shi nodded obediently, covering the corner of his mouth with a veil of sarcasm.

Siyefu

People rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles, and the repainted and painted beams finally have the grandeur of Baylor House.Although the regulation of the Baylor Mansion is not comparable to that of the County King's Mansion, it has to be said that the territory that the emperor bestowed on the fourth elder brother is indeed relatively large.

Siye Mansion is currently divided into two roads, with a garden in the east and a courtyard in the west.

The main road is a courtyard with four and a half entrances.There are three gates, and there is a small courtyard separated from the second gate. On both sides of the second gate are gate houses, and further inside is the main courtyard.Because Baylor's mansion is not comparable to the king's mansion, the halls in the mansion cannot be called palaces, but they are all called courtyard houses.The hall in the main courtyard is the living room, and there are east and west wing rooms in the courtyard, which are temporarily used as guest rooms.

The second main hall is the bedroom and study of the fourth elder brother. Although the fourth elder brother said that he would live in East Garden on weekdays, this place cannot be used for other purposes.Living on the right path of the mansion is a symbol of being the master of the house.

The third courtyard was temporarily vacant, and the fourth elder brother told Su Wei that when Honghui was six years old, he would move to this courtyard and teach him himself.

The fourth entrance courtyard is the residence of Fujin, and the last entrance was converted into a library pavilion and Buddhist hall by the fourth elder brother.

The east of the main road is connected by five small courtyards and four rows of row houses, forming the East Road of Siye Mansion as a whole.From the northeast corner to the East Road is the East Garden. The East Garden currently occupies a small area, and its north-south length is only half of Baylor House. Fourth Master has not further expanded it.

There is a supporting courtyard west of the main road. It is said that the supporting courtyard is actually composed of four small courtyards.The fourth elder brother originally wanted to expand the west courtyard to the south and build the west road of the mansion, but it was not implemented in the end.Because the regulation of Prince Yu's Mansion is one way and five advances, and Baylor's Mansion now has two ways, the fourth brother is afraid that it will be overstepped by self-expansion.

For this time that Yeling was staying in Beijing, the fourth elder brother was very open-minded, staying in the house with Su Wei every day, adding decorations to this room and that room, looking like he was enjoying it.

Su Wei was rarely angry, saying that Kangxi was an emperor through the ages, why does he now feel that this master is a bit menopausal, and he raises his eyebrows and eyes at his son after hearing a few casual words from others.

Seeing this, the fourth elder brother was quite amused, and analyzed the reason under the jujube tree with his arms around Su Wei, "The crown prince and the eldest elder brother are fighting fiercely, but the two are in balance. The third elder brother is weak, and he can restrain both parties but cannot shake them. Although this situation is dangerous, it is also stable. Huang Ama doesn't have to worry about the crown prince threatening the imperial power, nor does he need to worry about the elder brother trying to seize the reserve. But if I get involved, the situation will be different. No matter which side I stand on, It is bound to break this situation. Therefore, Huang Ama warned me to stay away from this battle more than once, and it can be regarded as using me to show the rest of the elder brothers. But now, Tong Guowei suddenly pleaded for my life. No matter what the purpose is, in In the eyes of Huang Ama, I have a private relationship with the minister, and I am suspected of having unlawful intentions."

Su Wei blinked, "Then what should we do? Do we want to show our loyalty to the emperor?"

The fourth elder brother shook his head slowly, "What I do now is glaring in Huang Ama's eyes. It is better to be still than to move. My not seeking to make progress is the only way for Huang Ama to let go of his guard against me."

Su Wei pouted, "I don't want to make progress..."

The fourth elder brother patted the back of Su Wei's head, "Don't worry, your father won't keep trying to make progress. The balance Huang Ama maintains with all his heart will not last long, and my father is not the only elder brother who grows up."

Su Wei pursed his lips. He knew that the fourth elder brother was talking about the eighth elder brother.Now it seems that the fifth elder brother and the seventh elder brother are quite influenced by the example of the fourth elder brother, and they have little sense of presence in the battle for reserve positions.The embarrassment is for the next few elder brothers, the eighth elder brother is now named Baylor, the person who was originally restrained by the humble birth mother has his own power, plus that pair of exquisite darlings, the ninth elder brother, the tenth elder brother Brother's support, if he really thought about it, it would definitely disrupt this muddy water.

"Then," Su Wei hesitated for a moment, then lowered his voice, "Do you have the intention to seize the reserve?"

The fourth elder brother looked at Su Wei and sighed, "Master has self-knowledge. Compared with the prince and elder brother, I am far behind. However, I can't really do what Huang Ama wishes, and have no desires and desires for the rest of my life. It's just plain For no reason, the day of being framed must have a head."

Su Wei bit his lip and nodded in agreement. The fourth elder brother smiled and squeezed Su Wei's waist, "What's more, I have to protect you. You are hurt and hurt, and I can't stand it. So, this right is powerful and powerful." It’s really not worth a penny.”

Su Wei laughed foolishly. People who are in a sweet love are always not smart enough. For example, it took a long time for Su Wei to taste the meaning of the sugar-coated words of the fourth elder brother.

August

Yonghe Palace

Sifu Jin greeted Concubine De, and Concubine De hurriedly asked someone to serve the sour plum soup to understand summer heat, "You are too, you are here on this hot day."

Si Fujin took the sour plum soup and smiled gently, "I'm going out of the palace in a few days, so it will be difficult to pay my respects to Er Niang in the future. Taking advantage of this time, my daughter-in-law should come here a few more times."

Concubine De raised her lips, "You child, your mouth is as sweet as honey. But it's good that you're here, Erniang has something to tell you."

"Emiang, please tell me," Si Fujin raised his eyebrows slightly.

Concubine De picked up the tea bowl and lightly scraped off the tea foam, "It's not a big deal. Just a few days ago, Er Niang heard that Concubine Hui was picking someone for Elder Brother, and she remembered that it had been a long time since there was no newcomer in the courtyard of the fourth child." Yes. It just so happens that you are going out of the palace to build a mansion, this place is spacious, and it will be more lively if a few more people come in."

Si Fujin nodded slightly, "What Erniang said is that the daughter-in-law will go back and discuss with the fourth elder brother. If the fourth elder brother agrees, then I will bother Erniang."

Concubine De waved her hand lightly, "Don't bother, you should. However, Er Niang sees that you are all in good health, why have you been silent for so long since Hong Hui landed?"

Si Fujin was stunned for a moment, and said falteringly, "Si elder brother has been busy with his residence, and rarely comes to the backyard..."

Concubine De frowned, and leaned back on the chair, "Yinzhen is just at a good age, it shouldn't be..."

Sifujin lowered his head, blushing.

Concubine De stroked her armor and said, "Talk to him more often. If there is someone you like outside, as long as you don't have a dirty identity, you can get as close to the mansion as possible so that his heart will not always be outside. Being a concubine at the time doesn't affect anything, if she becomes pregnant, it would be a good thing to hug you or Ge Ge."

"This..." Sifujin paused, then lowered her head and said, "Yes, my daughter-in-law understands."

Defei nodded in satisfaction.

Qingju carried the medicine bag and walked into the inner hall, "Your Majesty, the imperial pharmacy has delivered medicine to the concubine and young master Zhang Jiashi."

"Hurry up and send it to the waiter in the backyard, don't delay Zhang Jia's condition," Concubine De ordered.

"Yes," Qingju took the order and left.

Si Fujin looked at Concubine De suspiciously, "Is the concubine of Zhang Jia's concubine sick?"

"That's not it." Concubine De took a sip of tea, "Zhang Jia's health has been getting worse recently, and this medicine can't be stopped even after a meal."

Si Fujin lowered his head and thought for a moment, "Madam, usually the fourth elder brother cares a lot about the thirteenth elder brother, but now that the thirteenth elder brother is not in the palace, my daughter-in-law should also visit on her behalf."

Concubine De nodded, "Yes, then you should go and have a look, don't stay too long, be careful when you get sick."

"Yes," Si Fujin got up and saluted, and followed the maid to the residence of the concubine Zhang Jia.

Zhang Jiashi was leaning on the bed, her face was still rosy, Sifujin entered the room with the maid who reported, and leaned slightly towards Zhang Jiashi, "I came in a hurry today, and I ran into my concubine."

"Get up quickly," Zhang Jiashi stretched out his hand, and pulled Si Fujin to sit down beside the bed, "I'm not in good health, and I'm bored in the room every day, and finally someone came to see me, so there's no such thing as a collision. "

Si Fujin looked at Zhang Jia's medicine bowl, "What disease is the young master suffering from? Have you ever recovered? Brother Thirteen is far away in Shengjing. If you need anything, you can tell my concubine."

Zhang Jiashi shook her head, "I'm weak and can only take care of it slowly. Over the years, it's been good for a while and bad for a while. I'm very glad that Yinxiang is not in the palace at this time, otherwise I will let you go The child is worried."

Sifujin smiled slightly, "Thirteenth brother is filial, and our fourth master always praises him."

Zhang Jiashi pursed her lips, looked at Si Fujin, and then turned to look at the servants who were waiting beside her, "It's hot in this room, go and get some ice cubes, don't bore Si Fujin."

"Yes," all the little maids in the room withdrew.

Si Fujin took a look and knew that Zhang Jiashi had something to say to him, so he turned his head and winked at Shiyue who was following him, Shiyue nodded wisely, and went outside the bedroom to guard.

There was no servant in the room, Zhang Jiashi breathed a sigh of relief.

Si Fujin was a little puzzled, "Young master, do you have something to say to your concubine?"

Zhang Jia looked at Sifujin, then lowered his head again, "I am under the care of the Concubine De, so I shouldn't have said these things. But, my body is becoming more and more useless. Yinxiang has no relatives, only Si A My brother is sincerely kind to him. So, I still want to send a letter to Fujin, as long as Fujin has a bottom line in his heart, he doesn't need to be too concerned, and it's best not to tell the fourth elder brother."

Si Fujin was even more puzzled, nodded and said, "Don't worry, concubine concubine."

Mrs. Zhang Jia hesitated for a moment, then lowered her voice and said, "Before the emperor conferred titles on all elder brothers, he came to the Yonghe Palace and had a long talk with the concubine De. That night, I was favored by the emperor, and I was in the emperor's sleep. Hearing a sentence, two brothers, only one can be king."
