The Biography of Concubine Xi of Yongzheng

Chapter 439 Deception
Now that it's spring, the appetite has already been boosted, and the sweet and sour hawthorn cake can increase the appetite, so Yan Hua couldn't stop eating it again and again.When her right hand felt empty, she realized that she had finished eating the whole plate of haw jelly, and she was a little embarrassed.

At this moment, Yinzhen walked in, just in time to see the maid taking the empty plate away, he couldn't help chuckling: "Chanchan can't eat enough every time? I can't stop eating when I come here. "

Yanhua blushed, and didn't show any cowardice, she just admitted generously: "The food here is delicious." She remembered what Su Peisheng said just now, and immediately reminded Yinzhen, "The emperor wants to talk to his concubines about the four great things." about my son?"

Yinzhen nodded: "Yes, Chanchan, I'm punishing Hongli today."

Yanhua's heart "thumped", did her fourth child really cause trouble?He is obviously a very sensible child, very stable.She didn't hide the uneasiness in her heart, she stood up suddenly: "Your Majesty, did he get into trouble?"

Since entering the palace, she has met Hongli twice during New Year's Eve and Shangyuan Festival. Hongli had lived in the palace for a year before, so she didn't have any discomfort, so the two times she met Hongli all good.

Yinzhen glanced at her indifferently, and opened her thin lips lightly: "He helped Hongshi and deceived me."

Yanhua's heart "thumped" again, completely confused.Her fourth son has always been sensible, is there some misunderstanding this time?Deceit... This matter can be big or small. If it is big, it is the crime of deceiving the emperor!How could Si Shuoer do such a stupid thing?

Yinzhen seemed to have read her mind, and suddenly shook his head lightly: "I didn't wrong him, he himself admitted his mistake."

The reason is that he went to the elder brother's office in the third south office early today to check on the reading status of several elder brothers, but he only saw Hongli and Hong Zhou obediently studying there.

He has asked people to build a Shang study on the east side of the Qianqing Gate, and all his brothers will go there to study in the future, and he is also screening the masters who walk in the study.Isn't it because he attaches great importance to the study of his elder brothers that he is so generous?He hoped that each of them would grow up as he expected, not to be mediocre rice worms, and not to intrigue and only think about how to keep their glory and wealth.

Proficiency in industry lies in diligence and waste in playfulness. When you are young, you must work hard, so that you can govern the Guangzong and Yaozu of the Qing Dynasty well in the future.

So when he saw that Hongshi was not there, he naturally asked everyone where Hongshi was.

Hongli and Hongzhou's masters just shook their heads blankly: "The third elder brother will not be here today, and I don't know where the third elder brother is now." Not only today, but the shadow of the third elder brother has not been seen in the past few days.

Yinzhen's eyes turned to Hongli and Hongzhou, and Hongzhou's eyes turned to Hongli next to him.Yinzhen also followed to look at Hongli, Hongli nervously grasped the writing brush in his hand, and said calmly: "Third brother... he suffered from a bit of cold and was not feeling well, so he didn't come today. Reading..." He thought, his Empress Ama didn't have time to worry about state affairs, so he probably wouldn't investigate whether the third brother was really sick.

But no matter what kind of person Yinzhen is, although Hongli tried his best to keep calm, he is still a 12-year-old child after all, and the panic that flashed in his eyes when he was lying still could not escape Yinzhen's eyes.

Yinzhen snorted coldly: "Really? Then I will go to see how sick he is. I won't come to study if I have a little cold. Is my elder brother so delicate?"

As he said that, he turned around and went out. Before leaving, he asked Hongli and Hongzhou to follow up, and went to visit the third elder brother Hongshi together.

"Fourth brother, it's too bad!" Hongzhou gave Hongli a nervous look.

Hongli shook his head at him, signaling him to keep quiet.Hong Shi didn't come to study these few days, he had already greeted him and Hong Zhou in advance, and asked them to help conceal the master.Hongli was originally unwilling to do such a thing of helping the evildoers, but Hongshi said it sadly, he couldn't bear it so he didn't refuse, and Hongshi took it as his acquiescence.

Hongli prayed all the way, hoping that Hongshi was lying in the house at this time.Besides, he was still thinking of various words along the way, if Yinzhen asked again, how should he answer?

Facts often backfired, Hongshi was not in the palace, so when Yinzhen and his party arrived at the courtyard where Hongshi lived, they did not see Hongshi's figure.

"Hmph, where did Hongshi go if he wasn't recuperating in the house?" Yinzhen glanced at Hongli with a half-smile, and his tone was cool.

The excuse that Hongli had made in his stomach was forced to the bottom of his heart by this look, and he hurriedly knelt down to admit his mistake: "Huang Ama forgive me! My son... I don't know where the third brother has gone!"

"Then why did you say that he was sick? He didn't recuperate in the palace?" Yinzhen's face turned cold in an instant, and the displeasure in his eyes was obvious.

"Huang Ama forgive me! My son... lied, and the third brother is not sick. My son doesn't know where the third brother has gone." He knew that he could no longer hide it, so he had to take the initiative to admit his mistake.Hongzhou quickly knelt down and pleaded with Hongli.

"Hmph, you are loyal! He didn't study hard to cultivate his morality, and if he did something wrong in the future, you are an accomplice!" Yinzhen raised his voice, but his voice suddenly became cold, "I put all the time you spent on loyalty Go read it!"

The gloomy gaze shot straight at him, causing Hongli to tremble slightly, and hurriedly admitted his mistake: "I would like to follow Huang Ama's teachings!"

Because Hongli had a good attitude of admitting mistakes, Yinzhen only punished him for copying books.Copy the Analects he is learning, copy the first chapter he has learned three times, and show the master to check after copying, and he is not allowed to eat or sleep until he finishes copying...

After listening to Su Peisheng tell the story, Yan Hua nodded in agreement: "The emperor has punished him well, if he is spared this time, there will inevitably be a second and third time! Please forgive the crime of incompetent discipline!"

Xu Peisheng made a gesture with his eyes, and Su Peisheng hurriedly retreated the eunuchs and maids in the Nuan Pavilion.

Only then did Yinzhen personally help Yanhua up: "Chanchan, I was just afraid that you would be so protective of your son that you would blame me if you found out, so I will tell you about this in person. Since you can understand the general situation like this, That is the best. Strictness has a lot of benefits, and lenient has a lot of losses. Hongli is a temperament that can make a big weapon, if you condone and condone his small mistakes, it will harm him instead."

After finishing speaking, he was stunned again.Where does such a smooth explanation come from?There was a misunderstanding with Pingniang in the past, and he didn't even have the face to explain it. After being married to Ulanara for so many years, he rarely explained to her the possible misunderstandings, but I don't know when it started. , facing his Chanchan, he would explain it to her from time to time.This change surprised him somewhat.

He shook his head with a light smile, and pulled Yanhua to sit on the kang next to him.

Yan Hua wasn't angry at all, but nodded in great agreement: "The emperor is right, if he does such ignorant things in the future, the emperor will just punish him severely. Don't let him have a longer memory, and if he leaves in the future Detours are not good."

Yinzhen looked at her calm and composed face, raised his eyebrows and said, "I think you will feel sorry, why can't I see you frowning? Do you really not feel sorry?"

Yanhua curled her lips: "The concubine is out of sight and out of mind, the emperor just wants to beat and scold him, the left and right Shuo'er are also the sons of the emperor, so it is not necessary to beat him to death."

Yinzhen paused, seeing the indifferent expression on her face, twitched the corner of her mouth and said, "I really had someone beat him up."

Yanhua's brows twitched just now, and her flat face became a little more unnatural: "The emperor... really let him be punished? He...although he lied, but...it's not a big lie. Is the board a bit heavier? How many boards have you made?"

Hongli has been bumped and bumped many times since he was a child, because she is used to letting him go and dance by himself, but there are very few situations that really make him suffer.Hongli has always been obedient and sensible, and he has never been beaten by her since he was a child, and he has never even hit the palm of his hand.

Thinking of her cock being hit by the board, she still couldn't help but her flesh tightened, and she twitched distressedly.

"Twenty? Or thirty? I forgot, anyway, beat him until he couldn't bear it and begged for mercy." When Yinzhen got excited, he opened his mouth and talked nonsense.Seeing Yan Hua anxious, he just found it funny.

Sure enough, Yanhua stood up with a "huh", but she still kept a smile on her face, but the smile was a bit far-fetched: "The emperor is just joking! Shuo'er is still so small, how can he be so delicate and tender?" Can I live with so many boards? It’s enough to give a warning twice, why do I have to give so many blows. At that time, the road will be impossible to walk, won’t it delay my study? The emperor’s move...is not appropriate..."

As she spoke, her nose turned sour, and she couldn't help feeling distressed when she thought of Hongli lying on the bed and unable to get off the ground.Fortunately, she just had a thought, thinking that Yinzhen might want to tell her something related to the establishment of the crown prince, and she really thought too much.

Seeing her concern, Yinzhen was confused, so he sneered helplessly: "Chanchan really believes it? I was joking with you, I didn't beat him, but punished him for copying books!"

Yanhua restrained the emotion in her eyes, and sat down again: "Really?"

Yinzhen gossiped with her for a while, dumbfounded, and finally asked her to go to elder brother's place to see Hongli by herself, and reason with him by the way.Yanhua was very grateful, after all, Hongli lived in elder brother's house, so it was rare for her to see him once.

When she arrived at Elder Brother's Office, she saw Hongli copying books there in good health. After she breathed a sigh of relief, she walked over with a straight face and reprimanded him.Hongli didn't dare to talk back, and kept bowing his head to admit his mistakes after listening to her scolding. Yanhua thought of his hard work in copying books, and asked someone to secretly take cakes to eat with him.But he was stubborn, saying that Yinzhen punished him to eat after copying, but he was unmoved by the pastry Yanhua brought.Yanhua was very pleased.

Before she left, she told Hongli repeatedly that she should not collude with Hongshi in the future, and just study hard.Hongli didn't know why, but he nodded seriously.

As soon as Hongshi returned to the palace, he was heard by Yinzhen. Under various excuses, he finally told the truth.It turned out that he was going out of the palace to meet his ninth uncle.Yinzhen was so angry that he was fined for a hundred days of confinement, and he was not allowed to leave the palace...

This small incident turned the page in this way. In early April, when Yinzhen was reviewing the papers, he saw the crimes of the Ministry of War impeaching the old ten.At that time, the old ten was still in Zhangjiakou, and he didn't want to miss Shu. Yinzhen ordered him to be arrested and returned to the capital.

Prince Lian, the eighth master, was horrified when he heard the words, and hurriedly consulted with Lao Jiu.
