It is not easy to be the fourth master's wife

Chapter 169

Fei Cui covered her mouth and backed out, Zhou Ting gave Yin Zhen an angry look, and a half-smile appeared on her mouth: "I'm not sure yet, I just think my body is different." She had experience, and she immediately noticed what was wrong with her body, although The imperial doctor hadn't diagnosed it yet, but she knew she must have it.

Yinzhen put down the soup bowl, shook her hand, and looked at her with joy on his face: "No wonder I see you eating like you were pregnant with sour plum soup." Just as he was about to laugh, he restrained his expression and became worried : "This is what I had a few days ago. The Ping'an pulse has not been diagnosed yet? You just entered the blood room. What if you collide? Tomorrow, I will go to Tanzhe Temple and ask a Guanyin to come back to make offerings, so I can feel at ease. "

As soon as Yinzhen got excited, he began to talk more, babbling endlessly, Zhou Ting listened to him with a spoon in his mouth, seeing Yinzhen like this couldn't stop the smile on his face.Lipstick dyed on the white porcelain has a different style, smiling and nodding, Yinzhen hugged her in his arms, and stroked her back with his hand: "It's also time to ask Khan Ama to give her a name, just to send this good news Clip it on to make him happy."

Zhou Ting covered her mouth and peeked at him, and saw Yinzhen clearing her throat puzzledly: "What are you doing in such a hurry, you have to wait until the first three months, and suddenly you have a son, you Could it be that there are no more? Today, Hongzhao and Khan Ama have talked for a long time, but there are no children from other families."

Even the youngest son of the crown prince did not receive such treatment, and Kangxi was not to blame. The older one, Hongxi, had already received a job, while the younger ones were wrapping diapers.

Zhou Ting was very happy that his son could please Kangxi. The more Kangxi liked Hongzhao, the more beneficial it was to Yinzhen, and the more beneficial it was to Zhou Ting.Already staying in the royal family, don't think about the pure family happiness. Kangxi loves those trivial things the most, isn't it because of the strongest family affection in them?

People are short of what they think, why Kangxi dotes on his youngest son so much in recent years?There is no reason not to like grandchildren like Hong Zhao in front of him.Although Zhou Ting didn't try to guide him, Hongzhao saw much more than ordinary young brothers. Naturally, he didn't memorize a few words from books and read a few words when he spoke. The things he said that Kangxi never experienced when he was young places that attracted his attention.

The ant nest raised in that big glass box is still in the apse of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and there is a special person looking after it. Kangxi still wants to visit it occasionally when he gets excited.This time, I decided to go to the Old Summer Palace to eat the vegetables grown by Hongzhao. In the eyes of caring people, this is not as simple as a family feast.

Zhou Ting pursed her lips and smiled, pinching a small steamed bun with bamboo knots: "Last time, a few things happened together and it was called Hongzhao. With such an eye-catching name, what should Bai Tang Cake be called?"

The older Kangxi was, the worse his spirit was. The grandchildren born in the early years were all named by him. Now that there are more and more descendants, some of the concubine's own family named them to report to the clan's mansion, and recorded them in the file. Even if it's over.However, the status of Yinzhen's son-in-law is different, so he named it himself.

Yinzhen took a spoon and added soup to Zhou Ting: "I happened to hear a sentence at the next morning, the ninth brother was urging the eighth brother to ask Khan Ama for his name." Zhou Ting's eyes instantly understood, looked at Yinzhen and smiled slightly, Yinzhen Zhen handed the spoon to her hand: "Chicken soup and yellow croaker are used by people, you can use more, but ask Biyu to prepare some dumplings, will you be hungry at night?"

Zhou Ting nodded with a smile, and took a spoon to scoop up the fish fillets to swallow. She didn't know if the eighth elder brother had listened to her younger brother's words, but no matter how Yinzhen could say it, the eighth elder brother was moved.

Men really don't have women who can understand these things. Yiwei hides it like a baby, not only because she is afraid that this child will not grow up, but also because she is afraid that he will attract people's eyes. His mother's name is no longer good. If you register with Kangxi, what will happen to your future future?
Things really happened as Yinzhen expected, and Yinhu sincerely wrote a note, begging Kangxi to give his son a name that can be suppressed.He read these trivial things together, and then he finished reading Yinzhen's request, and when he was thinking about his name, he saw Yinhu's, and then he thought of Hongwang's not-so-spirited little face.

Kangxi frowned, just dipped the pen into the ink and wanted to write the words "Wang is a loving father", but he endured it again, and only sent it back to him. Cake chose a good name "Xuan", and after the political discussion was over, he and Yinzhen personally set a date for Hongxuan to vaccinate.

Although the eighth elder brother was smiling, his teeth were clenched tightly. After finally having a son, although he did not take off the hat of "fearing his wife", he did not expect that Khan Ama would not treat him differently. , looked at the prince again, and saw that he was also gritted his teeth with a smile, his eyes drooped, and he understood that the prince was not pleasing to Yinzhen.

No matter how affectionate he is, the prince doesn't want to watch Yinzhen's power grow. He has two iron rods around him, and everything that can be cut by the prince himself has been cut clean by Khan Ama. Now they are all gathered in one place. Drinking tea should also prevent others from joining the party. He is not as comfortable as Yinzhen. Since he is the banner owner, it is a common thing to see the leader. Among the brothers, there is Yinzhen, who has a mother. Amazan said "Brothers and friends respectful".

When the prince was down and down, he naturally remembered Yinzhen's affection, but now he is standing up again, and Yinzhen has become a competitor of his power, so he naturally regards the original help as opportunistic tricks to curry favor with Kangxi.Although it can still be suppressed now, it will explode one day.

Yinhu's eyes moved and he quickly stood still. With that thought in his mind, he couldn't look down on Yinzhen's behavior. He clearly thought about it in his heart, but he wanted to pretend to be a virtuous king for Khan Ama to see. .But even though Yinhu disdains it, he has to admit that Yinzhen has indeed raised Kangxi's eyes. No matter how much others want to do this, how can it compare to his years of effort.

After discussing the politics, it was necessary to gossip about some household matters. Kangxi felt that the weather was hot and his appetite was low. Seeing the Prince's appearance, he said with concern: "But the weather is hot and you lose your energy? Don't eat too much meat, eat some vegetables, and you will feel refreshed. " Speaking of this, I thought of the vegetables that Hongzhao grew, and asked Yinzhen with a smile: "I heard from Hongzhao, the vegetable fields in your garden have a good harvest?"

Yinzhen replied: "I have harvested some melons and fruits, and I just want my family to eat something fresh." Then he invited: "There is a water feature in the garden, and it is cool to go boating in summer, and there are fresh vegetables. Thinking about having a family dinner."

The prince smiled unnaturally: "I just got off the boat, and I won't get dizzy when I go up again." As soon as the words of refusal came to his lips, Kangxi's expression was not hesitant, and he immediately said: "But the vegetables grown by myself must be tasted. Taste it."

Yinzhen didn't seem to notice the change in the prince's tone, and only invited other brothers. In front of Kangxi, no one could refuse. From the prince to the fourteenth, all agreed. There was a snort in his nose.

Kangxi was very satisfied. He had caught those things on the prince's boat. Last time, he severely punished the slave who screwed up his son with the screwdriver. It's not that easy.

If the crown prince was younger, Kangxi could still find an excuse for him to "be greedy for newcomers", but the sons of those who are about to reach their forties are already married, and they are about to become Mafa. Kangxi No matter how much you think about favoring him, you can't find a reason.

Kangxi is 57 years old this year, and the empress dowager celebrated her [-]th birthday at the beginning of the year. No matter how well maintained she was, her mood went up and down after several changes, and her health followed suit.When it comes to the great heat and severe cold, I feel that my body is not as good as before, so it is a bit cooler in autumn. The Qianqing Palace will burn the earth dragon early. Today's geniuses are getting a little hot, and ice basins are placed everywhere.

The more Kangxi felt that he was getting older, the more impatient he became. It turned out that his son, who looked good everywhere, became more and more unable to support him. When he left, could this son really be able to take care of state affairs and family affairs?The stronger his feelings for the crown prince, the more he could not stand such wear and tear, the stronger his disappointment, the more eyes he cast on his other sons.

The third elder brother took this opportunity to invite his brothers to have a banquet together. Although there are many famous people in his house, the scenery of the mountains and rivers is not as good as that of the Old Summer Palace, so he set the date closer to prevent the scenery of his house from being suppressed by Yinzhen. .

After the meeting was over, Ten 34 was next to Yinzhen, and Thirteen snorted again from his nose: "Look at him, he hastily set the date, obviously there is nothing to do, call us together Go, don't you still recite a poem and a couplet like his diners?"

Fourteen chuckled, the more familiar he was with Thirteen, the more he felt that Thirteen was more tempered towards him than Yinzhen. The two raced horses and shot arrows together, and even went to the shore to fight and drink when the boat was moored. With Yinzhen as the matchmaker, it will naturally get better.

Shisi knew his heart troubles, and he didn't like the sour and fake jealousy of the third elder brother, so he laughed and said: "This is why you should be happy, and you will know what is really good when you go to the fourth brother. "

The way the two hooked their waists and backs made the corners of Yinzhen's lips curl up, and he pretended to shake his head: "If people can see what they look like, they are all Ama's, and they are no different from fifteen or sixteen years old."

Fourteen wrinkled his nose at him.

Zhou Ting sat on the kang by the window to make a banquet list, and was hesitating whether to arrange a play. Fei Cui opened the bamboo curtain and came in, bending her knees and thinking about Zhou Ting's face: "Master, the slave in the big gege yard Come to report, saying that Da Gege wants to come to greet the master."

Zhou Ting tapped her finger on the first-grade duck and bird's nest, and then she brushed off her sleeves: "She is not in good health, why don't the servants persuade her? Where is Mother Qian?" Da Gege just retired, then I couldn't get over it, and after three days, the people disappeared, and it has been almost three months now.

She was sick, so Zhou Ting used this as an excuse to keep her far away. She didn't think about getting closer for so long, why did she think about it now.

"It was Qian Nanny who reported it. Although she is a nurturing mother, Da Gege is also the master." After hearing the report, Fei Cui became impatient. The master has many things to do here, and her body is inconvenient. Such an unfamiliar person, at least She will burn incense if she asks the master to take some trouble.

Zhou Ting raised her eyebrows and pinched her fingers to count the days, the corners of her mouth curled up, no wonder she was going to make a fuss, her birthday will be half a month away, Zhou Ting took care of her in the past, and she was willing to let Yinzhen see her waiting With the concubine's care, she started arranging the banquet early on.

Not only the princesses from Befu are invited, but also the girls from her natal family are invited. It is regarded as a birthday for the big princess. Although the scene is not big, it is enough to give her face.This year has come and no news has spread, no wonder she is going to make a fuss.

Zhou Ting didn't bother to move at all, she was pregnant, even if Da Gege went to Yinzhen crying and complained, she could still say that she was out of energy, besides, there was no reason to hold two banquets in the mansion, since it was a family banquet that day, it was natural to bring her with her. When the family members come, a few children get together, and a decent table is enough.

She made up her mind not to show Da Gege any more dignity, and pointed to Fei Cui: "Go and have a look, tell her to take a good rest, it's so hot outside, it's my fault if she walks around and she's going to catch the heat again. If she asks When it comes to birthdays, tell her that the mansion is rushing to hold a banquet, and the whole banquet will be sent to her when the time comes."

Fei Cui understood, bit her lip in response, and turned to go to the yard over there, Zhou Ting continued to check the food list with Bi Yu: "But there are some dishes that are refreshing and cool to eat in summer? Too much, Xu Ai these side dishes."

Biyu smiled softly: "Otherwise, before the main course is served, there is a small lotus leaf lotus leaf soup, and the chicken soup is used to enhance the taste, and then add small noodles. It is both soup and pasta, which is not appetizing."

"That's not bad. What's so good about cold dishes? This time, all the men from every family are here, and the red, yellow, white, green and purple are all arranged, so it seems that they have worked hard."

"Then let's go with the chicken marrow and bamboo shoots, fry the black-bone chicken breast and the jade finger shoots together, let them cool down and eat." Before Biyu finished speaking, Shan Shan came in with an agate plate.

Zhou Ting was afraid of the heat, and she couldn't drink mung bean soup and sour plum soup, so she just took ice cubes and put them in the fresh fruit, and scooped them into agate bowls to eat after cooling down.Before swallowing a spoonful, Bing Xin came again from Da Gege's room.

As soon as Bing Xin entered the room, she knelt down and saluted: "Greetings to Fujin."

Zhou Ting sighed: "What's the matter, Fei Cui got stuck with you?" Bing Xin shrank her neck, she knew that Zhou Ting didn't like Da Ge Ge anymore, anyway, it was her whole birthday, she didn't reveal a single meaning, she called their master instead Day and night hanging on the heart.

Big Gege's smart energy was all focused on these little things. This time her fiancé died and she became sober. She wanted to be obedient for a few years, but her marriage is not settled every day, and it is impossible to be safe every day.

It turns out that in order to make her think of Zhou Ting, Mother Dai kept reading in her ears, what a miserable place Mongolia is, how difficult it is for the eldest daughter to stay in Beijing to get married, all this is Yinzhen Zhou Ting She has to be grateful for her kindness.

After listening to it once or twice, Da Gege still remembers Zhou Ting’s goodness. After listening to it more, she felt that it was normal. After all, the marriage has been settled. Can it be bigger than Ama?It is only now that these words have affected her, and if she doesn't get married, she will go to Mongolia!

Clan girls set a title at the age of [-] or [-], and then they can be married by the emperor.Big Gege has never felt that his situation is so gloomy as it is now. The Qianmao around him no longer guides her in everything like Daimao, but only keeps a close eye on the money key and follows her orders in everything.

Da Gege was really scared. Seeing that one year has passed, next year she will be made princess, and she might marry Horqin. She can't even swallow ordinary rice, how can she swallow the wind and sand on the grassland?

The days are almost one day, want to make trouble and have no name, she remembered the time when Zhou Ting borrowed the full moon gift to push her out to take care of things, and she still wanted to use the old method, just to show it in front of people .

Bing Xin spoke slyly: "Our master said that these days, she has been bedridden with illness, and it was no use for Fujin to take care of her. Now she is in good health and wants to help Fujin take care of things so that she can share some of the burden. "

This Zhou Ting didn't think about it, it turned out that Da Gege had this idea in mind, and she knew that there would be no more birthday banquets, but when she thought of it, she smiled: "Your master thinks about me, why don't you If you don’t think about her, you are in good health. What if you get busy and exhausted, and get sick again? It’s said that winter sickness takes care of summer, so just ask her to rest well. I don’t lack her help here.”

With a smile on her face, Bing Xin felt embarrassed: "The slave also persuaded me in the same way, but we are so filial, and if we think about it, we must help Fujin with two things to repay your kindness."

"Tell her to take a good rest, and you will repay my kindness if you take care of your body." Zhou Ting didn't even want to refuse, the silver spoon hit the agate bowl with a soft "jingle", and she turned her head to look at Biyu : "Bring a bowl of chicken skin and fish soup just simmering on the stove to Da Ge."

Bing Xin knew that Zhou Ting was chasing people away, and she had no other choice. She followed Biyu with a food box and went back, planning all the way. Camellia Jasmine was already married when she was released in the early years, and she was older than Ge Ge It's still a little bit older, calling Ama Erniang to beg to go out and get married is also a way out.

Fei Cui came back after a while, and wrinkled her face: "Master doesn't know, Da Gege is tearing up the slave's sleeve and crying, with that posture, I can't wait to go to battle for Fujin."

Zhou Ting burst out laughing with a "puchi" and said, "Let's talk nonsense again." After finishing speaking, Yinzhen came in. He gestured to stop Zhou Ting from getting up, and went to the basin to wring a towel to wipe his face: "There's Fuya again." Are you making a fuss?"

Da Gege knew that Zhou Ting's path was not going to work, and thought that Yinzhen could be useful there. Who knew that Yinzhen had long been used to leaving things to Zhou Ting, so naturally he had to ask her first before making a decision.

Zhou Ting smiled slightly: "This child is sincere, and she must help me manage things. She hasn't recovered yet, so I didn't allow her. I think I asked you to go there?" Such a big garden, a courtyard There are more than 20 or [-] people in the village, and it is not easy to keep an eye on them. Da Gege reported to the front, but Zhou Ting didn't stop her. She just let her see which one can still rely on her now.

"Besides, it's not easy for her to show off at this time of year. I was thinking of taking advantage of the day of the banquet to celebrate her birthday with the entire table." Which family in Beijing didn't know that Da Gege broke the engagement because the man died of illness, At this time, it is not easy to make publicity.

Yinzhen rolled up his sleeves and wiped his hands, and smiled after hearing this: "That's not what she's thinking in her heart, you don't have to pay attention to it, there will be a decree in another year or so." He frowned again: "That day will be too late." Don't ask her to come out, just ask Da Niu Er Niu and Hong Shi Hongzhao to take Hong Zang to pay their respects."
