Chapter 189 Playing Tai Chi in the Hall of Mental Cultivation ([-])

On August 43th in the [-]rd year of Kangxi, half past time, the blue sky was cloudless and the wind was sunny. Outside the Wuli Pavilion in the suburbs of Beijing, the continuous maple trees were all fiery red. Where the wind blows, the leaves move together, swaying a splendid scene. Coquettish, such a beautiful autumn scenery, but Yinreng who was sitting in the pavilion had no intention of admiring it, his face was dumbfounded and his head was lowered. Although he didn't say much, his slightly frowning brows showed Yinreng's mood and not too good.

The prince was in a bad mood, and the officials waiting outside the pavilion didn't dare to talk or move. Thousands of people just stood quietly by the road, looking at the end of the official road, waiting silently, but The look in the eyes that glanced at the prince from time to time could not help but be a little more complicated, nothing else, just because the master who is about to return——the third master returned triumphantly with an inexhaustible achievement. The radiant prince was obviously dimmed. Everyone was waiting to see what kind of sparks would be sparked when the prince and the third master met.

"Look, here we come, here we come!"

Waiting and waiting, at the end of time, a puff of smoke and dust billowed from the corner at the far end of the official road, and immediately saw hundreds of cavalry rushing out from the bend of the mountain surrounded by several carriages, and a bright yellow flag was waving in the wind first. , Seeing this, the officials who had been waiting quietly couldn't help but become agitated.

"Report to His Royal Highness, Prince Cheng is approaching."

Seeing that the third master and his party were galloping at a high speed, Zhao Xiaoxiao, the deputy chief eunuch of the East Palace, who was standing outside the pavilion to watch the movement, dared not neglect her, so she hurriedly turned around, hurried into the pavilion, and approached the crown prince. approached, cautiously said a word to report.

"Ah."

Yinfeng obviously heard Zhao Xiaoxiao's report, but he still sat still, didn't even raise his head, and just made a soft noncommittal sound.

"Your Highness..."

This time, Yinreng was welcoming the emperor on behalf of the emperor, in order to give courtesy to the third master. If he acted like a prince, he would obviously be criticized by others. It would not be a good idea if he was referred to by the officials. It's a joke, in view of this, Zhao Xiaoxiao didn't dare to let the prince do whatever he wanted. Seeing that the prince didn't move for a long time, she had to whisper again.

"Humph!"

The thing the crown prince doesn't want to see now is the third master, not for anything else, just because the third master has made outstanding achievements in the past few years, and has already posed a great threat to Yinfeng, but the old man wants him to give Yinfeng this time. The gift from the third master, isn't this sprinkling salt on his wound? Thinking of this, Yinfeng's face became even more ugly. However, the emperor's fate is difficult, even if he is reluctant, the prince will not sit still. He moved, but the block in his heart was hard to get rid of, so he vented his anger on Zhao Xiaoxiao's head, not only glared at him angrily, but also snorted heavily, and then brushed his face resentfully. With big sleeves, he walked out of Wuliting slowly.

"The younger brother kowtowed to the prince's elder brother!"

"My nephew kowtows to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

The third master and his party came very quickly, the prince had just stepped out of Wuli Pavilion for a while, and the large group of people had already come to the front. Li was about to come down, each of them adjusted their clothes, and quickly rushed to the prince's place, and they all saluted and paid homage incessantly.

"Excuse me, excuse me, the third brother has worked hard this time, and on behalf of the elder brother, following the order of Emperor Ama, I came here to welcome the third brother, and I will go to the palace together."

Although Yinreng does not want to see the third master very much, but on such a grand occasion, he is not so mentally retarded as to show the face of the third master. Facing the salute of the third master and his son, Yinreng smiled and raised his head He made a move, and shouted warmly, but his words were rather hasty, before the father and son of the third master thanked him, he hurriedly planned to end the welcoming ceremony in a hurry, obviously It's because I don't want the third master to feel honored.

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness, Ron."

The third master didn't expect any good courtesy from the prince, so he would not be offended by the prince's pretentiousness, so he thanked the prince according to the court regulations, and then stood up without any other greetings. As for Hong Qing, although she found the prince extremely disliked, she ruthlessly despised the prince from the bottom of her heart, but she didn't show it, and thanked him for her kindness, and then stood silently behind the third master.

"Third brother, please, Huang Ama has been waiting in the palace for a long time."

The prince was obviously not interested in exchanging greetings, the third father and son just got up, and he was already a little impatient to ask for a word.

"Brother Prince, please!"

As usual, there are many standard ceremonies for this kind of suburban welcome, and playing music, boasting officials and the like are all part of the title, but when the prince reminds him so much, all the glorious things behind are omitted. This is obviously He was openly losing face to the third master, but the third master didn't seem to care, he didn't mention that problem at all, he bowed and waved his hands with a smile, and calmly responded.

"okay!"

The prince originally thought that the third master would be dissatisfied when he received the cold treatment, but he didn't expect that the third master was like a normal person, and he couldn't help feeling a bit depressed, his face twitched involuntarily, and his skin twitched. Smiling but not smiling, he nodded, then turned around on his own, leaving behind many officials who were at a loss, and got into the carriage next to him.

"Thank you for coming to greet me. The little king is very grateful. The emperor Ama has an urgent call. The little king really doesn't dare to delay. Please bear with me if I am negligent."

The third master was not in a hurry to leave, but waited humbly for the prince to get into the carriage, then bowed to the officials who came to greet him, and apologized apologetically.

"My lord, you are welcome, please!"

"My lord, you have worked hard, and I will send you off to my lord!"

……

All the officials came to the suburbs of Beijing early in the morning, and they have been waiting for nearly an hour. Although it is a sacred order, they are reluctant in their hearts. After making a fuss, it would be even more boring, but as soon as they heard what the third master said, everyone's hearts warmed up a lot, and they returned the greetings one after another, and the scene was chaotic and lively for a while.

Well, Dad is doing well, he looks like a wise gentleman!

Although there is nothing unusual about the third master's actions, it is just a matter of a few words, but the effect is amazing, at least in Hong Qing's view, so he can't help but praise the third master in his heart. Bundle.

"Xiao Wang is one step ahead, and all the princes are also invited."

The third master bowed again in a personable manner, confessed a scene, and then led Hongqing into the carriage amidst the respectful sound of everyone.

"Hmph! Go for fame, let's go!"

Although the prince got into the car first, he saw all the actions of the third master through the curtain of the car, and the fire of jealousy in his heart suddenly arose, with a gloomy face, he cursed in a low voice, without waiting for the third master When the head was ready, he gave the order angrily.

"Let's drive!
Now that the prince had opened the golden mouth, Zhao Xiaoxiao didn't dare to neglect it, and hurriedly shouted, and soon saw the prince's car start slowly, surrounded by more than a thousand guards of the Eastern Palace, all the way to the capital go.

"Follow."

The third master just got into the carriage, and the curtains of the carriage have not been put down yet, when he saw the motorcade on the other side of the prince, he suddenly started to move, his brows furrowed involuntarily, but he didn't say much, just let out a calm voice Immediately, the convoy of the third master and his party also started slowly, following behind the prince and his party...

"Your Majesty has a decree. Announcement, Chengjun Wang Yinzhi, Dorobeile Hongqing Yangxin Palace will see you!"

After arriving at the gate of the Imperial City Palace, the prince did not wait for the third master and his son, and went into the palace to deliver the errand of Jiao Ying. Only the third master and his son were left waiting at the gate of the palace. It didn't take long, after a stick of incense, the chief eunuch Qin Wuyong led two young eunuchs hurried out of Tiananmen Square, and announced the old man's oral order.

"Thank you, Eunuch Qin! Xiao Wang came back from Henan this time in a hurry, and he didn't bring anything extravagant, that is, a few boxes of dried fish. If Eunuch doesn't mind, Xiao Wang will send someone to send it to you later."

After the third master took the order to thank you, he took the opportunity of getting up, flicked his fingers lightly, and a folded bank note was smoothly thrown into Qin Wuyong's large sleeve, and he still didn't forget it in his mouth. The courtesies are really thoughtful.

"Heh, that's a good thing. This old slave has been away from home for many years, and he really only thought about the Yellow River carp being dried up. It's really the luck of this old slave to get this thing. I would like to thank the prince for the reward."

Qin Wuyong was used to etiquette, so he wasn't really interested in bank notes and the like, but he was very excited about the dried carp from the Yellow River mentioned by the third master, not for anything else, but because he was from Lanyi, Henan. It has been nearly 40 years since I left home and entered the palace at the age of six, and I have never been able to return to my hometown. I miss the special products from my hometown very much, and my old face has turned into a chrysanthemum with a smile.

"Father-in-law is being polite, it's just a matter of convenience, how is Huang Ama?"

Naturally, the third master's gift was not given for nothing, what he wanted was to make Qin Wuyong grateful, and to ask how the old man was feeling right now.

"Fourth Master and Eighth Master are accompanying the Holy Majesty, it's up to you, Third Master, please."

Qin Wuyong was able to become the most useful person around the old man, so he was naturally not an idler. Even if the third master asked implicitly, he understood it immediately. When he answered this question, he naturally followed it with implicitness. , As for whether the third master can understand, Qin Wuyong doesn't care.

"Eunuch, please!"

The third master is a shrewd person, and he can understand the unfinished words behind Qin Wuyong's words just by hearing it. The left and right are just reminding the third master that he must go here to settle the debts, and he wants the third master to have a difficult fight The mental preparation for the war, this point, the third master already knew it in his heart, but he didn't take it too seriously, and he didn't exchange much greetings. He cupped his hands towards Qin Wuyong with a smile, shook his big sleeves, and led Hong Qing to Walked through the palace gate, and hurried towards the direction of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
