The splendor of the red mansion

Chapter 83 Thanking the Emperor for Worshiping Xiaoyi (2)
Daiyu raised her eyes and smiled and said, "Isn't Huang Ama worried that the discord between the minister's daughter-in-law and the eighth younger brother will affect the brotherhood between the fourth brother and the eighth brother? Huang Ama can rest assured that the minister-in-law will never be so careless."

Kangxi said: "I really believe that you know how to measure. But...the fourth..."

Yinzhen said indifferently: "Is Huang Ama trying to say that my ministers don't know how to behave?" Kangxi gave him a bitter look, knowing how to measure, do you dare to threaten me for a daughter-in-law who hasn't married yet?Daiyu looked at the cold-faced father and son with some interest, the emperor was really cruel to the fourth brother most of the time, but occasionally felt that he was more indulgent to the fourth brother than other princes.Is it really unpredictable?
Kangxi waved his hand impatiently and said: "I don't want to take care of your affairs. Back then you insisted on arguing with me and refused to get married, and I also obeyed you. Now you choose your own wife, remember to spread the branches and leaves for the royal family as soon as possible. "Yinzhen said lightly: "There are already many elder brothers in other brothers, and the royal family does not worry about having no successors." Kangxi glared at him angrily and said, "I'm talking about you! Your second elder brother was born when I was your age .” Although the crown prince is ranked second, in fact he is the seventh son of Kangxi.It's just that the first few died young except for the eldest brother. "I didn't reward you when I conquered Galdan, but I will promote you as the county king in a few days." Several older brothers only had this son, not only the backyard was empty, but the children didn't know where they were.

"No need." Yinzhen said lightly.

"Say it to me again!" Kangxi's voice was raised, as if he wanted to strangle and eat the villain in front of him.Others can't ask for it, but how dare you say no to Jin Xiangzhe for you!Is my title a piece of junk that can't be sold?Yinzhen raised his head and looked at Kangxi sternly, saying: "My ministers have no achievements and no rewards. It is not appropriate to be promoted at this time." Kangxi snorted, turned his head to ask Daiyu, "Yu girl, what do you say?" Mei smiled slightly and said: "Women's family members should not interfere in political affairs." Kangxi said angrily: "I want you to tell." Daiyu smiled and said: "Fourth brother is right." Kangxi's eyes flicked between the two Go, after a long time, he sighed softly, and compromised: "Forget it. Let the one who was entrusted by the Jin Dynasty let it go first. You should pay close attention to the matter of the heirs, otherwise when the time comes, the Queen Mother will put people in the mansion and don't come to trouble me. I don't want to see another eighth daughter-in-law!"

Daiyu blushed, but Yinzhen said very calmly: "You don't need Huang Ama to worry about this matter."

Seeing this son Kangxi, who was not salty and not insipid, felt agitated in his heart. However, the estrangement has been separated for too long and it is not possible to not come back if he wants to mend it, so he said: "Okay, go. Take your daughter-in-law around the palace. , and go to Jingren Palace to kowtow to your empress."

After leaving Qianqing Palace, the two walked hand in hand towards Jingren Palace.Daiyu looked at the brocade box in her hand curiously and said, "Fourth brother, it turns out that Huang Ama has always kept things that Huang Erniang likes." Thinking about it, Huang Ama still has a deep affection for Huang Erniang.Yinzhen took the brocade box and opened it, inside was a delicate plum blossom hairpin.Yinzhen took it out and looked at Daiyu before gently putting the hairpin on her head and said indifferently: "This is the one that the Queen Mother often uses, but it is not the thing that the Queen Mother likes most." Ama has never understood what Queen Mother likes.

Daiyu wondered: "Then what did Empress Dowager like most during her lifetime?"

Yinzhen smiled lightly and said, "Didn't I give it to you a long time ago?" He stretched out his hand to pick up the purple pearl hanging on Daiyu's body and looked at it.More than ten years have passed, and countless strings of pearls have been replaced, but the pearls are still glowing with luster and faint fragrance.Daiyu looked at him in amazement, and Yinzhen said softly: "The emperor's mother told me to give it to the person I like the most. Sure enough...it is right to give it to Yu'er." Daiyu couldn't stop the smile on her lips , a pair of water eyes are also full of joy.Is the fourth brother saying that she is his favorite?Suddenly remembering that besides giving the fourth brother a string of rosary beads, it seems that I have not given anything to the fourth brother Daiyu, and I feel a little sad.Yinzhen gently smoothed the hair beside her ear and said: "Don't think too much, Jingren Palace is here, let's go in and see the Queen Mother."

Jingren Palace is one of the East Six Palaces, where Kangxi was born.In fact, Yinzhen was also born in this palace. At that time, Concubine De was a nobleman and lived in the side hall of Jingren Palace.After Yinzhen was born, Wuya nobleman Jin Depin became the head of the first palace and then moved away from Jingren Palace to live in Yonghe Palace.As soon as Yinzhen was born, he was carried directly to Concubine Yi to raise him.Since Empress Xiaoyi passed away, Jingren Palace has been vacant since then, only Kangxi and Yinzhen sometimes come to visit.Because the master often came and it was the residence in front of the empress, the palace people of Jingren Palace didn't dare to be lazy and cleaned the inside and outside very clean.Although it doesn't look depressed, it can't hide the desertedness and loneliness.

Ignoring the servants who were kneeling all the way, Yinzhen took Daiyu directly into the main hall of Jingren Palace.The main hall was deserted, and there was a small Buddhist hall in the side hall of Yiyi, which was only set up after the death of Empress Xiaoyi, and a portrait of Empress Xiaoyi was enshrined in it.Yinzhen took Daiyu and knelt down on the futon in front of the portrait, kneeling three times and prostrating nine times respectfully.Knowing Yinzhen's respect for Empress Xiaoyi in her heart, Daiyu also solemnly performed the six sues, three worships and three kneelings to the empress.He silently said in his heart: "Mother Huang, thank you for being so kind to the fourth brother, and Daiyu will take good care of the fourth brother in the future, please rest assured." After the big gift, Yinzhen pulled Daiyu on the futon Sitting down, and going out to face the complex personnel and affairs in the palace, it would be better for the two of them to be here quietly and peacefully.

"Yu'er, do you remember when we first met?" Yinzhen asked.

Daiyu leaned on his shoulder and nodded after thinking about it.Since thinking about the things when I was a child in the past two years, although some details are still vague, the things related to the fourth brother have become more and more clear.She still remembers the first time they met, the fourth brother knelt alone in front of the spirit of Empress Xiaoyi, and his body was covered with deep loneliness and sadness.Since what she saw was only a back view, it also made her feel an inexplicable throbbing pain in her heart when she was still young.Let her involuntarily want to warm him and make him laugh.He also gave him all his favorite cakes.This is probably fate.The first time I saw her, I knew that this person was the most important person to me besides my parents.
