Emperor Kangxi sent me to marry

Sibeile, who returned from a long journey, encountered a soft nail in the Qianqing Palace.

Kangxi didn't say he was right, nor did he say he was wrong.

From beginning to end, there was silence.

After exiting the dormitory, Sibeile didn't know who to talk to for a while.

In the harem, he had no favored empress to rely on; Liang Jiugong was on the same boat with the fourth princess. The eunuchs in front of the emperor were polite, but when it came to serious matters, they were all dumb and silent.

After much thought, he finally decided to go to the Prince's Yuqing Palace to try his luck.

If he went rashly, Sibeile was afraid that he would be sent away smoothly, so he went to the study first to find Hongxi, the eldest son of the prince.

Children are not as good at covering up as adults, so maybe they can see some clues.

Before the morning lecture ended, Sibeile sat in the hall for a while.

In the bright spring light, the sound of reading aloud can be heard every word.

Sibeile, who had worked hard in the upper study room for many years, could clearly hear the music and was very talented.

I don’t know if his sons will be able to match him in the future.

When it was time to eat snacks, Hongxi, who received the eunuch's notification, rushed to see Sibeile.

The little seven-year-old child has been carefully raised to behave like a king, holding his head high and saluting calmly.

"Fourth uncle is fine. Why do you have time to come here today?"

"Fourth uncle just came back from Guihua City and brought you some gifts."

In Qianqing Palace and Yuqing Palace, Hong Xi, who had seen all the treasures in the world, didn't pay much attention to the gift box placed on the table.

"Since we are going to Guihua City, has Fourth Uncle heard the news about Fourth Aunt?"

"Not only did I hear the news, I also met the fourth sister."

"Didn't you say that it will be how many more days before my aunt can arrive in Guihua City? Has Fourth Uncle seen Sister Lian?"

There was a hint of urgency in Hongxi's questioning, which made Sibeile secretly scream that something was wrong.

Even a child like him knew the schedule of the four princesses, which meant that at least one of the prince and princess in the Yuqing Palace sent people to regularly inquire about the four princesses' movements.

Sibeile decided to test it out.

"Hongxi, don't worry too much about Lian'er's affairs. Now that you are both young, it's okay if you don't avoid taboos. If you grow up a few years, it will be against the rules."

"Why is this? Amma said that sister Lian will definitely be my blessing in the future. How can I not greet my wife?"

"Do you like Lian'er very much?"

Hongxi's overly mature answer made Sibeile feel a sense of fear inexplicably.

"She is very good, and her background is worthy of me. Why don't you like her?"

It is not the attitude of a man pursuing a woman, but a calm look at all aspects of Lian Gege's conditions, with "I" as the center, and a judgment of "worthy".

Based on his childhood state of mind, Sibeile judged that Hongxi had already determined that he would definitely take over the throne from his Ama in the future and become the Ninth Five Supreme Being.

And Hongxi's attitude showed that the prince, despite all the previous conflicts with the fourth princess, was still eager to marry his sister.

From this point of view, there is no need for him to go to Yuqing Palace and waste his time.

After the break, Hongxi continued to study in the study, but he didn't know where to go next.

It seemed that every helper he could think of was on the side of the fourth princess.

This has been the case since childhood.

He sat alone like this in silence for a long time, until a rash little eunuch poked his head at the door and was caught by Sibeile's followers.

"You are such an unruly boy. Which palace is the errand?" "I am from Concubine De's side."

The flood flooded the Dragon King Temple, and the people who arrested him couldn't help but look ugly. However, Sibeile rarely went to his biological mother. The relationship between mother and son was estranged, so he was not very angry and asked the outside to let the young eunuch go.

"He is probably looking for his fourteenth brother. You guys can help ask and then take him there."

The little eunuch was really honest, and he didn't need anyone to press him. He just poured the beans out of the bamboo tube.

"Back to the Fourth Master, this servant is not with the Fourteenth Master. There are not enough eunuchs at the Thirteenth Master's side. The Imperial Concubine asked the servant to start today and come to serve the Thirteenth Master. The slave confused you and the Thirteenth Master. ”

This honest answer not only amused the people around Sibeile, but even Sibeile himself couldn't help but laugh twice.

"Oh, that's it. It seems like I haven't seen my thirteenth brother for a long time. I think I taught him arithmetic when he was in the study. You can follow him."

Sibeile estimated the arrangements for going to the study. At this moment, the princes should be practicing riding and shooting, so he walked out casually and went to the shooting range, intending to go there to relax and stretch his muscles.

Sure enough, the tenth prince and many princes were instructing them on how to distinguish the quality of bows and arrows. When they saw Sibeile coming, they all put down their weapons.

"Hello, Fourth Brother, are you free today? Nan Study Room is closed?"

"I went out and brought back some gifts to share with you. Tenth brother was a little naughty two years ago, but now he has become the master of my younger brothers."

The tenth elder brother said a few words of humility and called his brothers to come over and pick out gifts.Sibeile personally took a piece of fine wolf skin and gave it to his thirteenth brother.

"I heard that Khan Ama asked Eni to take care of you?"

"Yes. Empress De, you treat your brother very well."

"That's good. You have always been close to your fourteenth brother. Compared to me, you are more like a biological brother from the same mother. Now that you have Eni as your adoptive mother, why can't you see anyone?"

"Oh him"

Brother Thirteen took advantage of everyone's comparison of gifts and the mess in the yard to pull Si Belle to a corner for a secret chat.

"Fourth brother, if you hear the rumors of the fourteenth brother outside, please don't tell Khan Ama. Even Empress De doesn't know about this. I am slowly looking for an opportunity to ask the fifth sister for help. Let’s see if we can talk slowly while she’s happy.”

Who hasn't been young yet? Sibeile looked at them and guessed a lot.

"Women's business?"

"Ah."

"It turns out that you have grown up so much in the years since I was away from the study. Okay, fourth brother, I promise you, just don't tell me. What's the use of making Khan Ama and Enie angry."

"Thank you, brother four."

The thirteenth elder brother was afraid that the tenth elder brother would notice something was wrong, so in his eagerness, he only dared to speak vaguely.

"Fourth brother, please don't go to Nan Study these days. If you still believe my brother, stay at home and recuperate in peace."

After muttering this sentence, the Thirteenth Prince quickly ran back to the crowd of princes, but his face turned red. The Tenth Prince looked at it and became suspicious.

"What were you whispering to Fourth Brother just now?"

"My fourteenth brother was out supporting the opera. I was afraid that he would hear about it, so I went to Khan Amma and asked for some mercy."

The tenth prince was never very subtle, so he was covered up by a few words from the thirteenth prince and was confused.

"Actually, what's the problem? My fourteenth brother is young and has shallow eyes. It's not a big mistake to see a folk girl fresh for two days. Khan Ama knows about it and can at most curse a few words. It's not painful or itchy. I just think You are soft-hearted and revealed Fourth Sister's arrangements to Fourth Brother in advance. After all, among our brothers, apart from Second Brother, the only one we can get along with is you."

The Thirteenth Brother was so frightened that his chest was beating wildly. He spoke perfunctorily, and his eyes uncontrollably peeked at the place where Si Beile was standing just now.

I don't know when, he has left.

What the Thirteenth Brother didn't know was that his sympathy and soft-heartedness at this moment would add many unpredictable variables and twists and turns to the changing political situation in the following decades.

Notes for personal use
Yongzheng has a close relationship with his thirteenth elder brother, Prince Yi. Prince Yi is nicknamed the "Executive Deputy Emperor" on the Internet because the power he has gained is indeed great, and Yongzheng also trusts him very much.

Why these two princes have a good relationship? Of course, there is only a small amount of historical data available for judgment and speculation.The more reliable one is the "Prince Heshuo Yixian Memorial Essay", written by Yongzheng himself. It mentions that Prince Yi was tutored in mathematics by Yongzheng when he was a child.For the others, I haven’t seen anything particularly reliable yet.Look back again.
