Qing Dynasty Crossover

Chapter 286 Another Banquet
The dinner in the New Year's Palace is a diamond exhibition for noble ladies. At this time, it seems that you can't show your noble status without wearing diamond jewelry.The fourteenth elder brother, Nian's side Fujin, is the more conspicuous one. The diamond jewelry on his head is very delicate and shiny, which complements the somewhat charming Nian's a little more dignified.Although Wan Yan had a smile on his face, a trace of sharpness and resentment flashed through the waves.Qi Luo heard Fujin talk about how the fourteenth elder brother loved Nianshi, and he almost always came to invite him.Holding the wine glass, Qi Luo paused for a moment, glanced at Yinzhen who was among the princes, his bright black eyes showed a smile, wondering how Yinzhen would feel about this classic passage in Qing Chuanwen?
As if feeling a sense, Yinzhen raised his head and glanced at Qi Luo. She was not the same as these Fujins. The jewelry on her head was only flat and square inlaid with diamonds. The head jewelry was all made of purple emeralds. Among these dazzling diamonds In the light, the chic and elegant look is even more prominent.Yinzhen glanced at Nianshi calmly again, and cocked the corner of his mouth slightly.The fourteenth elder brother seems to be inadvertent, but his eyes are always aimed at Qi Luo, and he can't help but clenched the cup tightly. Isn't this kind of dress incomparable?Qi Luo didn't wear a heavy dress, but a slightly narrowed flag dress, which could better bring out her slender and flexible waist and flat and tight belly. Compared with other prince Fujin, she was a little less solemn and more One point of lightness.

Elder Fourteen drank the wine in the glass, lowered his head to hide the trace of jealousy and envy towards Yinzhen that flashed in his eyes.The fifth elder brother next to Yinzhen said enviously, "Fourth brother, my younger brother hasn't congratulated you yet, and the fourth sister-in-law gave birth to a son-in-law. Among us brothers, the fourth brother is blessed."

Brother Jiu rolled his eyes and said loudly, "Fifth Brother's words are reasonable. Fourth Brother's pampering for Fourth Sister-in-law has often caused Fujins to feel envious. In fact, in my opinion, Fourth Sister-in-law's background and appearance are not to be chosen." , and can bear children for the fourth brother, it should be favored by the fourth brother. Those side Fujins don't even look at their identities, and blindly compare them, just trying to make a joke."

Yinzhen glanced at the ninth elder brother, and said with some displeasure, "Ninth younger brother, it is better to be more cautious when speaking, so as not to be heard by those ministers talking about the lack of rules of the royal master." There were also times when he refuted for Fujin. It seems that the rumor that Prince Yong loves Fujin is probably not groundless.The eighth brother lightly kicked the ninth brother's calf from below, and gently apologized, "fourth brother, the ninth brother drank too much and talked nonsense, please don't take it to heart." Yinzhen apologized, Yinzhen looked at the smile on the eighth elder brother's face, drank all the wine, put down the glass and said nothing.

At this time, the prince suddenly interrupted and said in a reprimanding tone, "the fourth brother is stable and dignified, so there is no need to worry, but the fourteenth brother did not think carefully." No one expected the prince to speak suddenly, so the princes all held their breath Mind, watching how the crown prince taught Kangxi's favorite fourteenth elder brother.

Kangxi also put down his wine glass, and looked at the prince inquisitively.The fourteenth elder brother blushed a little, and asked gruffly, "Prince, where did you start? I didn't offend you. Although I had a few words with you in political affairs, it was to live up to the emperor." Ama trusts the younger brother, the younger brother has always respected the prince, but now it is snowing outside, and the younger brother's body can't bear the prince's anger."

The prince stared at the fourteenth elder brother for a while, and said displeasedly, "The words of the fourteenth brother are different. If you were not too angry, how could such a thing happen? And if the fourteenth brother and sister are more open-minded, it may not be an accident. Go." Understanding what the prince meant, and the smiles hidden in the eyes of the surrounding princes, Elder Fourteen's face turned even redder, veins popped up on his forehead, and he suppressed his anger.

Kangxi looked at the fourteenth elder brother who became angry from embarrassment, and shook his head secretly in his heart, this temper is really not good enough.His eyes swept over the prince who was about to watch a good show, and he paused for a while on Yinzhen. Kangxi saw the calmness and worry in Yinzhen's eyes, rubbing his wine glass, and a gleam of relief flashed in his eyes.

The prince put down his wine glass, frowned and reprimanded softly, "What are you doing, brother fourteen? Could it be that the elder brother can't blame you? Look at how much you spoil your side Fujin? You have to come every time you invite me, and you still don't like me?" Do you have the dignity of a prince, how do you let the fourteenth siblings be the directors of the family? Your side Fujin is just a."

"Okay, prince, I understand your love for the old fourteenth, but you have to remember that Manchu and Han are one family, and they are all citizens of the Qing Dynasty." Kangxi raised his hand to interrupt the prince, and the prince stood up and saluted, and said respectfully "Thank you for the teaching." Kangxi let the prince sit down again, then turned to look at the fourteenth brother, and said in a tone of hatred for iron and steel, "Old fourteen, what the prince said is not unreasonable, you have to remember that you are the prince , I don’t want to hear the words that every transmission must come.”

"Please don't worry, Huang Ama, my son knows what to do." The fourteenth elder brother stood up, came to the prince, and raised his glass gratefully, "I thank the prince for his teaching, and I apologize to the prince with wine." There was a flash of light in the prince's eyes, it seemed that this old fourteen should not be underestimated.He raised his glass and patted Elder Brother Fourteen on the shoulder, and said with concern, "Gu is also for your own good. After all, you are a brother that Gu values ​​very much. I don't want you to lose your dignity because of a woman."

Elder Fourteen nodded grinningly, and said a few more words before returning to his seat, chatting and laughing loudly with Elder Ten next to him. scene.

Holding the wine glass a little lonely, Yinzhen glanced at the brothers around him, but there was no one who cared for him, and the only old thirteen he valued didn't even attend the New Year banquet. Yinzhen glanced silently at the sitting dragon Kangxi on the chair is the most ruthless emperor's family, didn't he already understand this?Yinzhen concealed the disappointment in his eyes, looked at the bustle and bustle of the hall, and felt a little desolate and false in his heart.Remembering the little bears last night, Yinzhen couldn't help but glance at Qi Luo, and turned the finger on his left hand, she will always be by his side.

At this time, the twelfth elder brother approached Yinzhen, and said in a grateful voice, "fourth brother. Fourth brother." Feeling the dazed look in Yinzhen's eyes, the twelveth elder brother said nervously, "fourth brother, younger brother toasts you, if it weren't for fourth sister-in-law Hiro, I'm afraid the younger brother is not very good at talking, and the fourth brother can use the younger brother, so just open his mouth."

Yinzhen raised his glass and touched Elder Brother Twelve, feeling a little warmth in his heart, "Brother Twelve is too polite, Hong is also my nephew, how can it not hurt? Hong is healthy, you and I The fourth sister-in-law is also happy, not to mention that the twelfth younger siblings are her few close friends in the boudoir. When you are free, you might as well let the twelfth younger siblings come to the palace more. Your fourth sister-in-law still has a little research on food, she, that's all. That's a little bit of patience."

The twelfth elder brother understood that although Yinzhen spoke modestly, he felt Yinzhen's kindness, and the twelve elder brother also let go and said jokingly, "The fourth sister-in-law's ability has always been praised by Xiyue, and the fourth brother looks better now. This should also be due to the fourth sister-in-law, the fourth brother is really born in a blessing." Yinzhen shook his head lightly, talking lightly with this twelfth elder brother who was not very familiar with him, but it also diluted some Yinzhen I miss Yinxiang in my heart.

As usual, Kangxi recruited important ministers who were close and trusted to give him wine. Ling Zhu was the first to be summoned by Kangxi as usual. He could no longer surprise the people in the hall with Ling Zhu's favor. At most, there were jealousy and envy in his eyes.The ninth elder brother sighed softly to the eighth elder brother, "Mynah, thanks to Ling Zhu handing over the military power, otherwise the fourth brother should not be underestimated."

The eighth elder brother looked in the direction of Yinzhen, and said with a deep thought, "I have never underestimated the fourth brother, but after so many years, I still can't see through it. When Ling Zhu had military power, he neglected the fourth sister-in-law, and now he is In this way, fourth brother's temperament is really difficult to guess? Fourth brother has the title of prince and is in charge of the household department. All the money and food in the world are in his hands. Huang Amana also has some face, if it is not for the crown prince." Stopped talking, Eighth Brother threw out the thoughts in his mind, the position of the crown prince was not vacant, and he would not be able to get up.The eighth elder brother frowned slightly, and glanced at the fourteenth elder brother, but he couldn't take advantage of him, he had improved a lot.The eighth elder brother slowly stretched his brows, and a gentle and polite smile appeared on his face again.

Although the ninth elder brother has always been a little surprised that the eighth elder brother values ​​Yinzhen so much, but the ninth elder brother who has always trusted the eighth elder brother's judgment, also thinks that he should pay more attention to the affairs of Prince Yong's mansion?Brother Jiu sighed and shook his head when he thought of Prince Yong's mansion being impenetrable, even the news he got was useless, it was just the jewelry that the Fujins cared about.

Kangxi glanced at the people in the hall, lowered his head to glance at the wine glass, and said softly, "Li Dequan, send a message for Nian Gengyao, governor of Sichuan, to come near."

Li Dequan said in a high voice, "The emperor has a decree to pass on Nian Gengyao to approach." The hall fell silent, because when Nian Gengyao did not enter Beijing, there were rumors that Nian Gengyao was most likely to be the next Zhiyuan Duke Ling column.Qi Luo couldn't help watching Yinzhen's capable warrior in history. Qi Luo never thought that Nian Gengyao had achieved Yinzhen's throne, but instead felt that Nian Gengyao would never have achieved Yinzhen's throne without Yinzhen's plans and arrangements. Have that kind of achievement.Nian Gengyao's greatest contribution in history was to contain the general king who led the army outside, but if there was no Kangxi's instruction, how could he become the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu?Qi Luo looked up at Kangxi, probably at that time in Kangxi's heart, Yinzhen was already the best candidate for successor.

Qi Luo looked down at the diamond ring on his hand. Now that it has become like this, Yinzhen's temper will definitely not value Nian Gengyao any more, let's see how far he can go?

Nian Gengyao stepped forward wearing the governor's patched uniform, Qi Luo took a closer look, and felt that Nian Gengyao's figure was quite burly, taller than ordinary people, his nose was not high, but his eyes were big and sharp, With a beard on his chin, it adds a bit of might.Nian Gengyao paid homage to Kangxi calmly and respectfully, "The slave Nian Gengyao respectfully invites the emperor to be safe."

Kangxi looked at Nian Gengyao with a look of satisfaction on his face, "Nian Gengyao is very satisfied with your administration in Sichuan. Sichuan has been known as a land of abundance since ancient times. I am very relieved that Sichuan is under your rule."

Nian Gengyao kowtowed and said with a bit of sobs, "The emperor is more kind to this servant than the sky, and this servant must fulfill his duties and live up to his grace." Kangxi nodded in satisfaction, and motioned to Li Dequan to pass the wine to Nian Gengyao.

Nian Gengyao respectfully took it and held it high above his head, and said loudly, "Thank you, master Long En." Then he drank it boldly. Kangxi was very satisfied when he saw Nian Gengyao, but it was a pity that this person was too ignorant, and frequently talked with him. The princes hooked up, but it was unbelievable, Kangxi kindly encouraged Nian Gengyao a few words, and then waved him to kneel down.

Feeling the probing and conjecture of the prince and important ministers, Kangxi felt a little bored. Although there were thousands of miles of land and people crawling under their feet, Kangxi felt deeply lonely at this New Year banquet, and felt a trace of sincere and concerned eyes on him. , looking up, it was indeed Ling Zhu.

Feeling Kangxi's gaze, Ling Zhu lowered his head shyly, and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, maybe because he drank too quickly, he snatched it, his face turned red and he coughed twice.The smile in Kangxi's eyes became stronger, he is really a pure and loyal person.Kangxi glanced at Yinzhen again, touched the Buddhist beads, and sighed secretly, I still have to say what should be said.
