Kangxi is back, and I entered the palace as usual to greet Concubine De. She heard out of nowhere that I had an illness and almost became a little mute, her face was full of distress, and she pulled me to ask questions and sighs, and she was a model of a good mother-in-law.

Xiaoyan and Pei Han sat in the chairs, pretending to be a pair of good girls bowing their heads to drink tea, and sometimes nodded and followed Concubine De to say a few words of concern to me, but there was a smile in the eyes of the two of them. It's a pity that Concubine De is a dedicated woman, even if she has the strength to see and listen to all directions, she still pretends not to see it, and still cares about me to show me my mother-in-law's thoughtful care.

The warmth and the midsummer sun made my back almost sweaty. This kind of topic can really be turned over, because every time I hear it, it reminds me of the reason for my illness. One is Honghui and the other is a woman, these two problems are not what I want to face now.

I have no way of verifying whether the two little women are girls or not, after all, I have evidence in my hands, which is as ironclad as black and white.

However, Xiaoyan's words are not unreasonable. If Yiqiē's own conditions are not enough for me to collect evidence, then the ignorant expressions of the two of them are circumstantial evidence, and they can't be faked. The eyes they looked at Yinzhen were completely different from those two women I had known for more than ten years. It was a ferocity that seemed to want to devour him into the stomach, although it rarely appeared, and it was almost impossible to see it in recent years, but it was still there. Sometimes I even want to eat it inadvertently, but the way it is cooked is different.

But these two little women don't, it's very simple.

Whether it is the heat of the prayer kite or the cold of the twilight, the two of them always chat together like twin sisters, and appear in the small courtyard of the triad without hiding or flashing. Occasionally, when I see Yinzhen, I will show a look similar to admiration, more polite and obedient, and nothing else. If I have to compete with myself, it is reasonable to carefully determine what they are expecting, after all, other people's daughters have married in, and it is a fool not to want to.

I can only say that Kangxi is too talented, and he found his son such two completely different and so close sisters. No matter what kind of style his son likes, the two complementary ones can let him change the freshness of the law for a while, and the fourth master likes which one is very considerate.

Concubine De's enthusiasm finally turned to Peihan, who had just given birth to a son, from Hongming's eating and sleeping to the rules of feeding her grandmother, whether she was healthy or not, whether she liked to cry or not, all of them were mentioned, and she was more thoughtful and thoughtful than me.

When Xiaoyan lowered her head and kept drinking tea, it was finally her turn. What is the problem of Yinxiang's heirs, she also has to pay more attention, why there is always no movement, and so on. even talked about the children of Shuying, reminding us that those who are big wives should also be treated as our own, and we nodded yes again and again.

At this moment, I think the three daughters-in-law should be of the same mind, and I just hope that the three men will appear soon, so that she, the mother, can enjoy the blessings of her son, and stop torturing us poor concubines.

I heard the call in the hearts of the three of us, but they didn't hear it, and Yinzhen was the only one who came in to say goodbye. The fourteenth elder brother who became a father is still like that, tired of Concubine De's jokes, but he still doesn't forget to discharge at Pei Han, so angry that Concubine De is happy, and they go back to the house.

Xiaoyan and I talked to Concubine De for a while, and she said that she was tired and asked us to go to the garden to free the two of us.

A few steps out of the gate of Yonghe Palace, I saw the two masters coming over in a hurry, followed by Gao Wuyong and Xiao Shunzi. The relationship between the master and the son is good, and the two subordinates can actually chat, and they look very close, but they are still cautious and keep their heads down because of the rules of the palace.

We stopped and stood in the sun, squinting at the brothers. Nineteen-year-old Yinxiang shouldn't be any longer, although the boy is twenty-three and has to jump again, but at this time, he and Yinzhen are already almost tall when they walk side by side. The two faces that used to be very similar don't seem to be so similar anymore, since marrying Xiaoyan, Yinxiang always has a smile on his face, and his expression doesn't look very similar anymore.

The two brothers stood in front of us, Yinzhen looked at the closed palace gate behind us, bowed his head and asked, "Why did you come out?" E-Niang slept? ”

I nodded and shook again, "I just said that I was tired, I don't know if I fell asleep, you two go and say hello first." ”

"Since you are tired, you will not disturb your mother's rest, and please come back tomorrow."

Yinzhen turned around and left, Yinxiang looked at me and Xiaoyan shook his head and smiled, and followed him quickly. Xiaoyan and I were at a loss and could only follow, occasionally hearing the two of them say the last sentence, but we didn't know what they were talking about.

In the private room of Wanxiang Building, near the window, you can see the Grand Hyatt Xuan and Yiyan Hall built on the opposite side of the street not far from the street.

This is the first time the four of us have eaten here, when the owner of Wanxiang Building became the thirteenth master.

After Yinxiang's wedding, Yinzhen learned that I bought Wanxianglou as a wedding gift for his dear thirteenth brother, although he was happy, he still disagreed. First, I feel that the prince is not decent enough to do business, just like Lao Jiu, he can't look down on him, and second, because I didn't tell him the reason back then, I also gave me a sentence with a small nose and small eyes: It's good to say no.

I can only sigh in my heart that he is too cautious, he has held a grudge for so many years, he has no romantic feelings at all, and he lacks the ability to discover and understand beautiful things. The hundred-year-old store has a big auspicious word, can't he see it? Is!

No matter how docile Xiaoyan pretended to be in the palace, no matter how much she was afraid of my man, she sat in her own shop, immediately changed the face of the deputy proprietress and warmly welcomed us to eat and drink, and good wine and food were constantly delivered.

In fact, in my opinion, Xiaoyan is somewhat similar to Xuanqing in some appearances, but Yinzhen doesn't seem to be so resistant to her. It is estimated that she is used to her changing face, and she looks at her brother's face, so she doesn't seem to care so much.

The two brothers were all loyal fans who ate and did not speak, and none of them spoke, silently clinking glasses to each other and drinking small wines, as if the two of us were not in existence.

"Fourth sister-in-law, my fourth brother and I are going to go out of Beijing in two days, let Xiaoyan go over to accompany you."

I looked up at Yinxiang in surprise, what is the situation? Looking at Yinzhen again, he just held a wine glass and drank by himself, without the slightest intention of wanting to explain.

The prince went out of Beijing on the orders of Kangxi? No wonder the two of them didn't come to Yonghe Palace with Yinzhen today to ask for peace.

I'm curious about where they're going, for so many years, except for worshipping the mausoleum or following Kangxi on patrol, they have never been out of Beijing by themselves. I knew I shouldn't ask, and I couldn't say much, so I had to nod my head and respond, "Okay, you pay attention to safety, take care of your health, have a safe journey, go early and return early." ”

My voice became smaller and smaller, Xiaoyan's hand quietly patted my leg under the table, and laughed and teased me easily, "The fourth sister-in-law is worried, the fourth brother is still sitting here." ”

"Nope." I looked down and replied, not daring to look up at their expressions. I know I'm really worried, won't I be filial piety? There was just a little reluctance in her eyes, which was completely different from me.

Xiaoyan's hand was firmly attached to my lap, and there was a burst of warmth, and his voice became serious, "Don't worry, I don't know how many times they have to go out throughout the year, the fourth sister-in-law is waiting at home with peace of mind." I'm going to accompany you, don't you have something to say to me? This time, I'm really going to your house, and let your pair of babies wait for me. ”

The more I talked, the more unserious it became, I squeezed out a smile and nodded, and before the good words could be spoken, I heard Yinzhen's voice, "Thank you so much for the thirteenth brother and sister." ”

His expression was quite serious, he didn't smile, but his words were very sincere, not like he was in a hurry to leave that day.

Yinxiang picked up the wine glass and touched it in his hand, and said with a smile, "Where is it worth a thank you word from the fourth brother, if our brother doesn't say this, Xiaoyan can't afford it." ”

His filial piety sounds like a pun to me, and it is also that in his eyes, taking care of me has always been the right thing to do, so how can he be worth his four belles.

Yinzhen nodded and drank the wine silently, got up and walked to the window. I sat on the chair and watched Yinxiang pull Xiaoyan out of the door, and was stunned for a while before walking over and standing behind him.

Yin Zhen put his hand around my shoulder, pulled me to stand beside him, and looked at Jun Yuexuan and Yiyantang not far away. It took a long time to look at me, and his voice was very low, "Huang Ama said, you advanced a lot of silver in the soup soup in the house last year. ”

There was a buzz in my head, as if I had exploded, and it seemed like I was hiding it from him again. I told him that Yiyantang was because of Honghui, but I didn't mention it, first, I couldn't remember it after a long time, and second, there was no need to say it. Kangxi sued him? I don't understand what it means.

"You said that the victims were miserable, but the money in the house ...... I...... Just wanted to help you. ”

"I know." Yin Zhen looked at me and said softly, not angry or frowning, the hand on my shoulder tightened, and the other hand was by the window, still looking in the direction of Yiyantang, "The smile is very smart, she can help you, but you should also know Lao Jiu's thoughts about her." ”

I know history, so I naturally understand his concerns, his relationship with the Eight Masters is not as close as before, and may even be too far for me to imagine. This was the first time he had told me such thoughts and worries, but it made me feel bad.

Looking at Jun Yuexuan, who was standing across the street from Yiyantang, he sighed, "Yinzhen, I know what you think, but the smile is different from others, I won't be suspicious of her if I use her, just like you do to Yinxiang." I don't care what happens between her and the ninth brother, that's the matter of the two of them, and it's not now. In front of me, the silver of Yiyantang should be mine, and mine is yours. ”

Sensing that he was looking at me, I withdrew my gaze and turned to him, my clear reflection in the inky black pupils, and a strange strangeness, as if exploring.

I don't know why I'm laughing, I said something helpless, but I smiled very seriously, "Yinzhen, it's been fourteen years, each of us is growing, and change is inevitable." But some things are hard to change, and so am I, and so are you. Emotionally speaking, they are your brothers, and they have been kind to me, and I will remember them. No matter what happens between you, I am your wife, and I will be there wherever you stand, only by your side. ”

His eyes reflected mine, and I thought, perhaps, that lost familiarity had returned, when I closed my eyes and were covered by his slightly curved lips.

At this time, in this place, he is such a well-behaved man, not afraid that pedestrians on the street will look up and see him? It's a bustling street, but it's a real bustling street.

Just before I thought about it, he had wrapped his arms around my waist and turned around, and his shoulder blades suddenly pressed against the wall, and the whole person was stuck to his body without leaving a single bit, enveloped in his breath. The arms were tightly wrapped around his neck, and he was dizzy, just for this rare long-lost intimacy.
