The Biography of Concubine Xi of Yongzheng

Chapter 508 Drinking
Hibiscus, easy to survive and resistant to barrenness, is a common shrub flower in gardens.It blooms in the morning and in the evening, endlessly blooming.

Hibiscus flowers bloom in autumn, and do not compete with other flowers, but only add a bit of beauty to the bleak autumn day.Today, the hibiscus flowers in the imperial garden are in full bloom, with colorful colors, white as snow and purple as clouds.However, this flower in the Yongshou Palace died in this bustle.

As soon as Mu Jin died, the queen suddenly lost her backbone, and her whole body collapsed.

Seeing her appearance, Yanhua was worried about keeping Xiaoxiao in the Yongshou Palace, but if she took Xiaoxiao back at this time, the queen would inevitably feel more deserted, and her spirit would become more trance if she couldn't keep her together.

So Yanhua had to spend most of her life in Yongshou Palace every day, and she even helped to give advice on the affairs of the harem that Mu Jin helped take care of.

Xiaoxiao is also sensible, although she is spoiled a bit by the queen, she is very filial.She gets up early every day to help the queen wash and wash. When the queen is confused and refuses to eat, she will hold a spoon and feed her porridge and soup; when the queen is crying silently, she wipes her tears with her soft little palm.

On the eighth day of September, news came from the clan's residence that the eighth child "Aqina" died suddenly in prison.Everyone in the palace was already immersed in an atmosphere of sadness. When they heard the news, they just shed a couple of tears by the way, nothing more.

Only Hongshi from the Twelfth Mansion shed tears for a while after hearing about this incident.When the day of the old eighth's funeral came, Hongshi cried uncontrollably out of grief for his rough future and also out of pity for his eighth uncle.

When this matter reached Yinzhen's ears, he smiled coldly: "It's his son, as it should be." It turned out that he thought that Hongshi had accepted his fate, and he willingly became Lao Ba's son.

Half a month after Hibiscus passed away, the queen asked for an order to go to the Yangxin Nunnery in Yuanmingyuan for a long-term stay on the grounds of recuperating.Yan Hua saw that she was indifferent as if she had seen through the world of mortals, and she was afraid that she would be overwhelmed. After going to Yuanmingyuan, she would become even more depressed and unhappy. She tried to persuade her several times, but she couldn't persuade her.

Yinzhen refused to agree, and it dragged on for seven or eight days, but the queen had to mention this matter every time she saw him. In the end, Yinzhen had no choice but to send her to the Old Summer Palace.

In this way, there will be no people in the Sixth Palace in the Forbidden City.The first person in Yinzhen's mind was Yan Hua. Before the Empress left, she had told him that Concubine Xi had a good character. Help take care of it.

Yinzhen also had this plan, but he was worried that Yanhua would be tired, so he hesitated to make a decision.

The first day of October is Prince Yi's birthday.Because the eighth and the ninth passed away one after another, Shisan didn't plan to make a big deal.

But Yinzhen was upset, so he took Yanhua out of the palace on that day, and made an appointment with Shisan and Xiao Qi to go to the racecourse.It was late autumn at that time, and the grass in the racecourse was already withered and yellow, and he was lying on the ground with his head drooping lifelessly, shedding the last trace of vitality.

Yinzhen and Yanhua arrived first, looking at the racecourse with many memories, sighing with emotion.Yinzhen told her how surprised he was when he saw her riding a horse for the first time, maybe since then, he has become more and more interested in her.

This time, Thirteen didn't take the BMX, but walked towards Yinzhen step by step with the support of two attendants.

When Xiao Qi heard the emperor's dictation that she was celebrating Thirteen's birthday alone at the racecourse, the boss was not happy: "The emperor knows that Master Xiang's legs are inconvenient, so why go to the racecourse, and you can't ride a horse."

"It's okay to go and have a look, there's no need to ride a horse." Shisan Ru comforted Xiao Qi, but what came to mind was Yanhua on horseback, her bright smile and heroic appearance.

It's just that time has passed, and when the four of them got together again, they could no longer gallop on horseback together.

Seeing the two of them, one with a broken leg and the other with a vicissitudes of life, Yan Hua suddenly felt sour.It's just that today is Shisan's birthday, so she shouldn't show worry on her face, so she curled the corners of her mouth and smiled wantonly, but the smile was a little distracted.

"In the past, on your birthday, I could only have two glasses of wine with you from afar, but now I can have a drink with you face to face, so I should celebrate it." Yinzhen personally stepped forward to hold his arm, frowned and blamed him If you don't take a BMX, why do you have to be so brave.

In previous years in Qiandi, Yanhua brewed a lot of flower wine, and Yinzhen still kept two pots of sweet-scented osmanthus wine, and this time he brought them with him.The mellow fragrance is tangy, and it seems to be drunk after only smelling it for a while.

"This wine is really fragrant." Thirteen closed his eyes, took two deep breaths, and the smile on his face seemed to have suddenly returned to 20 years ago, free and easy, hearty.

"Just smell it, don't drink it." Xiao Qi leaned close to his ear and gave him a hard look.Now that his legs have become like this, how can he still drink, the imperial doctor has ordered him many times not to drink alcohol, and unfortunately he always secretly sings behind her back.This drunken temperament really can't be changed!
Every day, she searched for wine in the palace, and when she found it, she threw it away. Every time, Shisan regretted saying that she wasted money.So, she stared at his legs viciously and said nothing.When she got angry, she would cry, and he could only resign himself to his fate and coax her softly, vowing never to drink again every time, but next time she would still find him a little bit.

Look, just now when he smelled the aroma of wine, his eyes lit up a bit!Unfortunately, the emperor is here today, she is really afraid that the emperor will allow him to drink.

"Your majesty, the imperial physician has told him many times not to drink alcohol, so... If the emperor wants to have a drink with him, can you let the courtiers and concubines do it for you?" Xiao Qi is also straightforward. After seeing Shisan being reprimanded by her, Instead, he didn't take it seriously, so he warned the emperor first.

"Your majesty, I can still have a drink or two..." Thirteen took Xiao Qi's hand, squeezed it lightly, and gave her a longing look with squinted eyes, hoping that she could give her a cup of tea in front of Yinzhen and Yanhua. He saves face.

Xiao Qi didn't care about these things, when he heard him talk about a drink or two, he was in a bad mood!
One or two sips is not enough, he actually said one or two glasses!

"Believe it or not, I will cry for you in front of the emperor!" Xiao Qi leaned closer, gnashing her teeth next to his ear.

Thirteen helplessly twitched the corners of his mouth, and smiled a little far-fetched: "You...you are such an adult, why are you crying?"

Although he said so, his tone softened, and he had obviously compromised.

Seeing the deep affection between the two, Yanhua couldn't help holding Yinzhen's big hand tightly, and teasingly said: "Look at how much they love each other, they don't forget to flirt here."

"Well, that's not true, Zhen... So Shisan is also a fear of guilt."

Shisan and Xiao Qi laughed awkwardly when they heard the words.Xiao Qi also put away her ferocious look just now, and gently invited Yin Zhen and Yan Hua to take their seats, and then hurriedly supported Shi San to sit down.

"The emperor just said that, too?" Yanhua approached him unhurriedly and gave a smirk, "The emperor's 'also' means that he is also afraid of guilt?"

He glanced at Thirteen and Xiao Qi on the opposite side, and saw that the two of them were whispering, so he whispered openly: "That's right, when I was Prince Yong, they said I was afraid of internal affairs. gone."

Seeing him laughing heartily, he seemed to be saying that fear of guilt is a very honorable thing.

Yanhua gave her a coquettish look, the smile on the corner of her mouth was like flowers in spring, mixed with the smell of wine, it made people mesmerized.

When Shisan accidentally caught a glimpse of this smile, his heart trembled wildly, but he was already used to the turbulent mood of not listening to him, so he suppressed that thought in his heart for just a moment.When she looked sideways at Xiao Qi, she was pouring wine, except for Shisan's cup, all of them were filled with fine wine.

Shisan discussed with her again: "I'll just take one sip, is that okay? Just a sip." This is the wine brewed by that peach-like person. To him, it is an extraordinary wine, and he really wants to taste it again. a mouthful.

Xiao Qi was very ruthless, and she gave him a cold look with a smile: "No! If you can jump up and down a few times right now, I will agree."

Thirteen smiled wryly, she didn't give him a chance at all.Now he can't even walk by himself, how can he jump around?He shook his head helplessly, and sighed resignedly: "That's all, I'm afraid I won't be able to drink again in the future."

"Sister Xiao Qi is also doing it for your own good. Why do you have to be like him? You look like a child when you get older, and you still need your sister to take care of you?" While talking, he made fun of it.

Xiao Qi nodded in agreement, pretending to be angry: "No, my sister doesn't know. The first thing I do every day when I wake up is to go around the entire palace and search every nook and cranny. You don't even know he hides wine. What a skill. Once I saw something hanging from the beam of the house, and someone took it down and found it was a jar of wine..."

As if Xiao Qi had found someone to confide in, her incessant bitterness poured out.

Shisan and Yinzhen looked at each other with sympathy, smiled wryly and were speechless.

"...He, he is about to become paralyzed in his forties. If he drinks more alcohol in the future, he may not even be able to get out of bed..." Xiao Qi didn't hesitate to speak, and didn't regard Thirteen as abnormal at all. When people look at it, the word "paralyzed man" is merciless and ironic, but both inside and outside the words reveal a deep love and concern.

"Hehe, I'm almost paralyzed, why do you still rely on me?" Seeing her finish speaking, Shisan handed her the tea in his cup to drink to moisten her mouth, but couldn't help laughing at herself.

"I'm relying on you, what's wrong? Are you still expecting another foxy girl to rely on you? I won't let you!" Xiao Qi felt a surge of vigor in her heart, and stared fiercely at Thirteen, staring straight at him. Only when he bowed his head and begged for mercy did she curl the corners of her mouth contentedly.

Between the cups and cups, only Shisan was holding a cup of tea and sipping it alone. His eyes were always fixed on the pot of sweet-scented osmanthus wine in front of him, and he would occasionally swallow a few saliva. Back to 20 years ago.At that time, he was high-spirited, gentle and handsome.

The two couples of mandarin ducks were drinking orders, or laughing and recalling the past, laughing and forgetting their identities completely.In this grass pavilion, there is no emperor, no prince, they are just good brothers with their families, drinking and talking happily.It's a pity that Thirteen didn't even taste the wine, but Xiao Qi, because of the mellow sweet-scented osmanthus brew, she drank several glasses in a row.

Xu Yanhua's stomach was ruined by eating, and she suddenly started to vomit while talking and talking, and she accidentally vomited on her front.Seeing that she was uncomfortable, Yinzhen took her to wash and change clothes.

Thirteen eyes watched them go, and then pulled Xiao Qi to the front, ignoring the guards lined up not far from the pavilion, lowered his head, grabbed her red lips, and kissed wantonly.It wasn't until Xiao Qi pushed him away and almost pushed him down that he smiled silly and took her hand: "What's the matter? Is it okay to make out with you?"

Xiao Qi stared and scolded angrily: "You pretend I don't know your little thoughts?"
