The splendor of the red mansion

Chapter 310 Yinzhen's Resignation from the Palace of the Qing Dynasty (2)
The expression on Kangxi's face became more gloomy, but his tone was very calm, "Oh? You said I can't?"

Yinzhen's heart trembled, but he said bravely: "Huang Ama Mingjian, Hong Yan and Hong Yan are only three years old this year, and Huang Ama bestowed titles on them. How can this convince the younger brothers and grandchildren who don't have titles yet? What's more, Hongyan and Hongchen have neither meritorious service nor reached the age of marriage, but Huang Ama named them Princess Heshuo, which is too flattering." Kangxi stared at him and sneered: "I don't agree? I think it is Are you dissatisfied?"

He was really dissatisfied in his heart, but he couldn't say it openly, so he could only say nonuo: "I dare not."

Lin Ruhai curled his lips slightly, got up and smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I think what the Fourteenth Lord said is reasonable." Yinzhen looked at Lin Ruhai a little dullly, he couldn't believe that Lin Ruhai would agree with him.Kangxi gave Lin Ruhai a warning look, telling him not to make trouble.But Lin Ruhai didn't care, and still smiled and said calmly and gracefully: "It just so happens that the fourth master also asked the emperor to convict the five members of Prince Yong's family and demote them to ordinary people. The fourteenth master also agrees, so why not let the emperor do it?" Let them go. Master Fourteen, don’t you think so?”

You say... don't you?Yinzhen's expression was stiff, and now he knew why the starlings said that Lin Ruhai was difficult to deal with, and even Er Niang kept secrets about Lin Ruhai.This sentence seems to be an understatement, but the intention is definitely malicious enough.Of course he hoped that the fourth child would be confiscated and demoted to a commoner, but he couldn't say that.Not only could he not speak, but he had to speak to persuade.With a forced smile, Yinzhen said: "Master Lin is joking, the fourth brother is in the prime of his life when he contributes to the society, and Huang Ama values ​​it very much, how can he demote the fourth brother to be a commoner? What the fourth brother said is an angry word Don't think like this." While talking and laughing, Yinzhen looked at the expressions of Yinzhen and Kangxi, thinking to himself that he didn't know which song the fourth child was singing.

Yinzhen looked at him, and said indifferently: "The fourteenth brother has won the prize. I'm afraid that I won't be able to see Hongyan when I come back someday. So it's better to stay away."

Hearing this, Yinzhen's heart skipped a beat, secretly screaming that it was not good.It turned out that the fourth child didn't want to expose this matter at all, I'm afraid that Huang Ama treated Hongyan so kindly to appease Prince Yong's mansion and Xilinjueluo family.Yinzhen felt a little regretful for barging in so recklessly, and said with a stiff smile: "Fourth brother is overwhelmed. As the saying goes, if you survive a catastrophe, you will have future blessings. Compared with Hongyan's nephews, they are all blessed." Lin Ruhai calmly Smiling, said lightly: "No matter how blessed you are, it can't be worth the various calculations of others."

Kangxi had a headache, looking down at Yinzhen who looked firm and uncompromising, and Daiyu who was standing beside him although silent but obviously on the same front.And look at Lin Ruhai, who is casual and stabs a few words from time to time, obviously he is also partial to Yinzhen.Today's affairs obviously cannot be good. Kangxi said a little unwillingly: "Lao Si, do you really want your reputation?" Yinzhen said solemnly: "My son only wants the safety of the family. Fame is important, but it cannot Therefore, the family has been wronged." Kangxi was silent, no matter what, his son didn't want his own reputation, but he, the emperor father, had to think about him.After a while, Kangxi said: "Present all your evidence. Li Dequan, the harem concubines and concubines and princes will come to Qianqing Palace to see you."

"Slave obeys the order." Li Dequan responded and hurried away.

The Qianqing Palace was quiet, Yinzhen was still kneeling on the ground, but his back was quietly soaked in cold sweat.

Because of the uproar caused by Kangxi's decree of Jin Feng just now, and the family banquet in the evening, the princes did not leave the palace in a hurry.Therefore, it didn't take much effort for Li Dequan to deliver the decree. In less than half an hour, almost all the princes and concubines in the throne had arrived.Seeing Yinzhen kneeling in the hall, Concubine De changed her color slightly, stepped forward and knelt down beside Kangxi and said: "The emperor forgives the sin, I don't know what mistake the fourteenth elder brother made to anger the emperor, please punish him It is a crime for a concubine to teach without direction." Kangxi looked at her indifferently and said, "Forget it, just kneel."

Immediately, Concubine De's expression froze.For so many years, she has been careful to flatter her. Even when she was least favored, Kangxi never tried to save her face like this.Kneeling stiffly beside Yinzhen, Concubine De could almost feel the sneering eyes of the concubines.

Regarding this, Yinzhen was a little dissatisfied and said: "Huang Ama, I don't know what Er Niang did wrong, Huang Ama wants to punish Er Niang like this?" Concubine Yi who was sitting on the side covered her lips with a smile, and said crisply: "Ten Fourth elder brother, didn't sister Defei just say that she has no way to teach her son." Concubine Yi has always been sharp-tempered, and she has never had a confrontation with Concubine De who is gentle, graceful and enduring.If Yinzhen hadn't been begging herself all the time, how could she have helped Concubine De return to her original position.It's a pity that Concubine De has never been polite to her since she was resettled, obviously she didn't appreciate it, so naturally she wouldn't be polite.

Concubine Xian looked at Kangxi, turned her head to Concubine Yi and said: "The emperor announced that we have something important to come, so don't say a word." Concubine Yi has already let out a sigh of relief, it is obvious that the emperor is giving birth to Concubine De's mother and child She is not in a hurry.

Kangxi glanced over the people below, turned his head and said to Yinzhen: "Is it not satisfied now?"

Yinzhen lowered his eyes and said lightly: "Everything is up to Huang Ama."

Kangxi turned his head and ordered: "Bring people in."

After a while, several guards dragged several eunuchs and maids in.Many of the princes and concubines present changed their faces.Kangxi looked at Concubine De and said: "Look, do you know these people?" Concubine De's face turned pale, her eyes swept over those people very quickly, and said calmly: "Going back to the emperor, my concubine is not Recognize." Kangxi nodded and said: "Since you don't know, Yu girl, you can tell Wu Ya who these people are." Daiyu took a step forward, and Yingying bowed: "My daughter-in-law obeys the order." Kangxi With a wave of her hand, Daiyu got up and walked to Concubine De, Concubine De could not help but look up, just in time to look into Daiyu's eyes.Those eyes that usually carried a gentle and moving smile were as cold as snow.Concubine De's heart tightened, she just felt that something was wrong.

Daiyu was still smiling as usual, but anyone who met her eyes couldn't help feeling a chill in their hearts.The clear eyes that usually carry an elegant and gentle smile are still clear, but they are as cold as autumn water, as cold as ice and snow.People who used to think that Princess Yong and Prince Yong had completely different temperaments realized that they were very wrong.These two are the kind of people who always get angry and can make people cold to the bone, but Prince Yong prefers to use a gentle appearance as a cover.Daiyu looked at Concubine De, pointed to the maids and eunuchs and said, "Concubine De really doesn't know them? This maid's name is Cui Qingping, she was originally from the palace of Concubine Cheng, but later she gave it to Concubine Yi. After entering the palace in the morning, I went to the Compassionate Palace to serve." Every time Daiyu said something, the faces of Concubine Cheng and Concubine Yi became more ugly.Concubine De said: "Since you belong to Sister Cheng and Concubine Yi, you can ask them yourself." Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "But, I seem to have heard that the fiancé of Lady Cui is the Fourteenth Lord. A servant of the house?"
