Qi Concubine's Cultivation Notes in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 146

The moonlight was just right, and Yinzhen stepped into the Xinzhuyuan with brisk steps. He could clearly see Kangxi's expression in the court today, and even had a long talk with Yinzhen after the court. What he said meant that he was old and needed The wise and wise princes held a prosperous age together.The network that Yinzhen has managed for many years is not comparable to that of Hongpan. In the evening, news came from the palace that the Holy Majesty was drafting a will.Yinzhen is also aware of Kangxi's body, the longest lifespan last time was less than half a year, and now three months have passed.It is extremely possible that Kangxi cannot survive such a winter.Thinking that I will be the one sitting in that position from now on, my heart feels a little fluttering, and the steps on my feet become more and more brisk.

After entering the courtyard, Li Yunting greeted Yinzhen with Hongpan and Nala.

Hongpan originally thought that Ama would go to the courtyard of Fujin, but at this time he lowered his brows and raised his brows slightly. Nala's heart was a little nervous. Hongpan once told Nala that his Ama was not easy to figure out, and he hid it deeply. .Nalashi also knew what was going on in the hall, if it wasn't hidden deeply, how could he be the one who had the last laugh.

"You two are here too?" Yinzhen said.

Hong Pan said: "Nothing to do at night, Er Niang played chess well, she and I came to accompany Er Niang to play chess." After Yinzhen came out of the study, he went to Xinzhuyuan, and now he looked like he was going to rest here , Hongpan also opened his mouth to say goodbye, Yinzhen didn't stay much, and Nala followed suit and retreated.

Li Yunting followed Yinzhen into the inner room, and Yinzhen stretched out his arms to signal Li Yunting to come forward to change his clothes.When Xu Zhen used to bow his head, he looked at the dark bun, but now the bun is also covered with frost. Originally, because he was about to get the throne, he was splashed with cold water. The girl in front of him is no longer young, so why not in this way?
"Master?" Li Yunting felt the momentary instability of Yinzhen's breath, and at this moment, with the skin hanging on her arms, she spoke.

"Nothing." Yinzhen's eyes fell on the chessboard, Su Mu bent his legs and was about to step forward to clean up the chess game, Yinzhen shook his hand, "Get back, I will play chess with Ce Fujin, and I don't need others to serve me."

"Yes." There was a squeak, and the waiters came out in a file, only Li Yunting and Yinzhen were left in the room.

Yinzhen took Li Yunting's hand, before he was always busy planning for the position of the Ninth Five Lord, even in the backyard, he never relaxed, now holding Li Yunting's hand, just as Back then, his hands were soft, his thumb slid over her palm, and finally clasped with her ten fingers.

"Master..." Li Yunting frowned and spoke again.

Yinzhen shook his head, "Call me by my name. I'm in a good mood today." Yinzhen said, "And from now on, no one will dare to call this name except Qian'er." The words were domineering, but the eyes were tender.

Li Yunting saw that Yinzhen's body was about to transform into a dragon, and his luck was rising, so she knew the meaning of the words, and said, "Yinzhen."

"It's like this when I saw you. I'm not surprised by favor or humiliation." Yinzhen said with a smile, "If I say, Qian'er, do you know what I mean, how about you being the Fujin in the backyard?"

"My lord is joking." Li Yunting skillfully pulled her hand from Yin Zhen's, "I am very satisfied to be a side Fujin."

Li Yunting's hand was withdrawn from Yinzhen's, and Yinzhen's heart stopped, even though Li Yunting was his side Fujin, if she wanted to leave, he would never be able to stop her.This idea was too absurd, and Yinzhen came to his senses in a flash. The only thing that can make Li Shi leave is death, and she will not leave.

"Xie'er, I'm not joking." Yinzhen's hand brushed her cheek, it was impossible for Ulanara to conceive again, since Honghui left, she didn't cherish her body very much, her lifespan was limited, He's already tired of it.Although Li Yunting is the banner of the Han army, she gave birth to a son like Hongpan. Li Yunting is in the back seat, and it will be more legitimate for Hongpan to ascend the throne in the future.

"I know the prince is not joking, I can't be a concubine." Kangxi's iron-fisted policy made the Qing Dynasty seem peaceful, but in fact there was an undercurrent between the Manchu and the Han. These problems could not be effectively resolved after Yinzhen ascended the throne. , but Hongpan is different, he has the blood of the Han people in his body, and he is even more open-minded.Yinzhen is just impulsive words now, if he really waits until he ascends the throne, let her be the queen, it will be a road full of thorns, Yinzhen is driven by full interests, otherwise he will not swallow his anger for Nian Gengyao, How could you choose such a path.

It can be said that Yinzhen was a little disappointed in his heart. The woman in front of him was always different in his heart. When he was young, she was beautiful and cold. He had never seen anyone more beautiful than her. She did not compete for favor. She had a good sleep here, and she gave birth to an extremely outstanding child, Hong Pan, who showed amazing talent after the former prince was deposed and Honghui died, making himself more prominent in front of Kangxi than his good brothers.His voice was a little cold, "Ze Fujin, do you know what you rejected?"

Li Yunting laughed, stepped forward and squatted down for a blessing, and said: "During these days, there are many diners, Hongpan and you come back very late every day, and Fujin often goes out to socialize, of course I know what I refused , I never cared about that."

"Aren't you willing to look at other people's eyes and act in everything, always remember his preferences and act, and when he is angry, it is the fury of thunder. Even if you are angry at others, you must be careful not to hurt yourself, and you will be raped in front of him." I couldn’t distinguish my own eye drops and was punished inexplicably. Not only I have experienced it, but you have also experienced it. Do you still remember that Ulanara sent you to that other courtyard, and you really have no complaints at all?” Yinzhen said with a sneer , the previous words were about Li Yunting, and he acted according to Kangxi himself.He longed for power because of this, and wanted to be the master of everything.

"As high as you want to be, you have to take on as much responsibility. I... don't have the ambition of a prince." Li Yunting said.

Yinzhen knew that this was Li Yunting's inner thoughts, and took a deep look at her. If Li Yunting agreed, she would be the queen after Ulanara passed away in the future.Sit down on the chair next to the chessboard, "This chess game is quite interesting, is Heizi Hongpan's?"

After getting Li Yunting's affirmative answer, Yinzhen looked at the chess moves of the black chess record, and the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became. The black chess pieces seemed to have turned into menacing galloping horses, and the cavalry spears on the horse neighed like a rainbow. Fight ahead, or fight with the white cavalry to defend the city.

"Your chess has always been very good." Yinzhen said, Li Yunting, who mastered the chess pieces, was like a general with thousands of horses in his hands, always rational and invincible. "Hongpan's chess skills are also good." Yinzhen picked up a chess piece and wanted to finish the game for Hongpan, but found that he couldn't make a move. His chess skills were no match for Hongpan, so he threw the piece into the pot , said: "Originally I wanted to play this game for him, but I couldn't play him with such arrogance. Sure enough, the young man is full of spirit." Hongpan's excellence made him proud and somewhat melancholy.

"If the lord is interested, start a new game."

Yinzhen said: "No, a spring night is worth a thousand dollars, so let my side Fujin please me." His voice was hoarse with emotion.

On the second day in the court hall, Kangxi announced the news that Yinzhen was the crown prince, and everyone knelt on the ground. The news was not surprising. Yinzhen stood beside Kangxi, with his right hand with light brown age spots on the back of his hands resting on his Kneeling down on the back of his hand, looking down at the crowd, Kangxi next to him coughed again. "Huang Ama." There was natural concern in the depths of her eyes.

Seeing this expression, Kangxi's heart warmed up. Yes, what else is he dissatisfied with? Yinzhen will be a qualified emperor, and now he is also a qualified son. Kangxi patted the back of his hand, "Wait a minute, You stay here, I still have something to say to you."

Yinzhen's face was calm, but he was a little nervous about Kangxi's next conversation.

Kangxi was like all the good fathers in the world, when he talked about family matters, Ulanara was virtuous and decent, Hongpan was intelligent, Kangxi spoke very slowly, Yinzhen answered carefully, not because Kangxi asked only trivial matters of the family Take things lightly.Kangxi looked at Yinzhen's appearance and smiled, feeling a little guilty in his heart. He remembered that Xiao Si was not like this in the past. The former Xiao Si was much more straightforward, quite like the current Fourteenth Elder Brother, but he said "" Mood and anger" made Yinzhen change.

"You said that what happened to Hongpan when he was a child reminded me of Baocheng." Kangxi mentioned the abolished prince, "I used to have high hopes for Baocheng, but unfortunately he took a detour in the end."

The atmosphere froze for a moment. As the current prince, Yinzhen was a little surprised that Kangxi mentioned the abolished prince. Fortunately, he had also thought about the abolished prince.In the words, Kangxi missed Yinreng's past, and he did not forget to remind Kangxi that the abolition of the prince is a thing of the past after all. You must know that the abolition of the prince has done a lot of measures, and the emperor is so kind.I said this because Yinzhen didn't want to release the deposed prince at all. With Kangxi's promise back then, Yinzhen's "di" was not as orthodox as Yinreng's. Kangxi talked about the goodness of the abolished prince, and also reminded the abolished prince of his wolfish ambitions.

Kangxi listened to Yinzhen's words, and waved him to leave, "First live in the previous palace, and after a few days, rebuild the Yuxiu Palace, and then offer sacrifices to heaven." There are still many things to be done, the prince's clothes, and Yinzhen The service of the people in Zhen's backyard, various etiquette standards, I am afraid that people in the Ministry of Rites have to do this these days.

Yinzhen retreated in response. If Kangxi had already gone, he would have ascended the throne. After cutting off the wings of all the deposed princes, he would not mind releasing the imprisoned deposed prince again!

The news that the new crown prince is the fourth elder brother seemed to have grown wings, and it first flew to the ears of the harem. Although the concubine De did not like Yinzhen's son, she just knew that the fourteenth elder brother was still too young, and his impetuous personality was blunt. Going forward, if Kangxi's body can survive for a few more years, maybe the fourteenth elder brother still has some hope, and now he is completely inferior to the fourth elder brother Yinzhen.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, there are two brothers after all, the bones are connected to the flesh, and the fourteenth elder brother and Hongpan are also very good. It is said that the Holy Majesty has taken a fancy to Hongpan." Said the nun next to Concubine De.

"Maybe the Holy Majesty values ​​Hongpan, but if the fourth son is incompetent, how can he be given the crown prince?" Concubine De said lightly, "The fourth son has a bad temper. I can take care of one or two." Yinzhen's temperament made her a little worried, and at this moment she almost thanked Li Yunting, Yinzhen's side Fujin, for having some friendship with her in the early years.

If Concubine De could still figure out that Yinzhen became the crown prince, Concubine Wen in the harem shook the cup in her hand when she heard the news.

"What did you say?" Li Rulan was shocked and stood up abruptly.

Mrs. Niu Hulu was sitting beside Li Rulan at this time. She had never seen such a good sister. She said in surprise: "My sister is the smartest, but the prince has a reputation for virtue." The implicit meaning in the words is, Kangxi had identified Yinzhen before, everyone knew this, but my sister didn't guess it?
Li Rulan looked at Niu Hulu, her face was a little distorted, and after retreating from the servants, she pulled Niu Hulu's clothes, "My good sister, explain to me." Speaking of Niu Hulu's birth, she was not beautiful Not very favored, Li Rulan thought that she had left her in the palace and made her lose the chance to be the queen mother, so she made friends with Niu Hulu on purpose. Looking at her, Concubine Wen is gentle and beautiful, and has two sons beside her. If Concubine Wen came in a few years earlier, she might not have been promoted to concubine.In this way, the Niu Hulu family also accepted Li Rulan's kindness, and left once or twice, and the two became known as sisters.What's even more coincidental is that Li Rulan is a modern person, with a cold temper and always thinking about things around herself, and the Niu Hulu family is the same. People in the harem are not regarded as being favored, and they enjoy themselves together during the day, and they have similar temperaments, which makes them even closer.

Niu Hulu said slightly annoyed: "My sister often said that if you want to live well in the harem, you must have good ears and eyes. I forgot what my sister taught me at that time."

Li Rulan said: "Amitabha, I have always thought that the Holy Majesty might miss the father-son relationship with the prince back then, and maybe the abolished prince will gain power again."

Niu Hulu's eyes widened, and he looked at Li Rulan in disbelief, "How is it possible? His Majesty Jinkou said, since the crown prince has been abolished, how can he be reinstated?"

Li Rulan twitched the corners of her lips. It is true in history that two wastes and two conflicts exist. Why is Yin Zhen now the crown prince? "I just have this idea. After all, the Holy Majesty was close to the Crown Prince back then. I heard that the Crown Prince Kaimeng was taught by the Holy Majesty to read and write."

"Since we are in Tianjia, how can we expect much?" Niu Hulu was also moved when he heard what Li Rulan said, "I didn't expect my sister to be so naive."

Li Rulan reluctantly pulled the corner of her lower lip, feeling a little anxious in her heart, why did it change, if Yinzhen became the crown prince, would she be deposed?Thinking of this, I couldn't help but speak.

Niu Hulu hurriedly covered Li Rulan's mouth, "My good sister, it's hard to say." Thinking that Li Rulan's sister is also Yinzhen's side Fujin, Li's child is Hongpan, who is quite favored by the Holy Majesty. And Niu Hulu remembered that Hongpan and Li Rulan also had a good friendship, so he lowered his voice and said, "The dragon is not in good health, the crown prince has a sign of destiny."

Li Rulan was shocked, "You are telling the truth?"

"Yes." Niu Hulu said, "You also know that the Holy Majesty is not in good health these days, so I'm afraid he really is the current crown prince."

Li Rulan felt relieved, the kit she sent in the past may not be applicable to the current situation at that time, if according to what Niu Hulu said, then the end of Kangxi is approaching, when the time comes Yinzhen will still wear a yellow robe, and there is no need to Thinking of how later generations would be made up to tamper with the imperial decree, I felt joy again in my heart.

Niu Hulu didn't know what Li Rulan was happy about, so he also smiled.

The topic of the two of them tacitly turned away from the topic of the prince and talked about it elsewhere.
