146. Far away
As the princes mature, even Xiao Fifteen and Xiao Sixteen have already stepped onto the stage of politics, and they will often follow behind Yinxiang just like Yinxiang followed Yinzhen back then. It's just that, more often than not, it's still the two close brothers walking together.
No one is enthusiastic about the draft of the draft once every three years of state activities, the noble princes just continue to accept Kangxi's rewards, the number of women in the family is increasing one by one, the children are born in the nest, the more they raise, and the more they are raised, there are also babies dying early.
The royal rich life is constantly reincarnated between life and death.
There is another little woman in Yinxiang's mansion, Fucha. Soon, in the spring season, there was good news. Xiaoyan still stayed in the house and helped him take care of the children and women without regrets, and the hot-blooded man who sowed the seeds of spring followed Kangxi to Wutai Mountain.
I still go to chat with Xiaoyan occasionally as I did in my early years, or tease her to become more and more cute and beautiful Xiaoxiaoxiao. The three-year-old girl is the most likable age, chattering about everything and laughing at everything.
Xiaoyan was different from usual, no matter what method I used, she refused to drink with me, and mysteriously whispered in my ear that she had a baby again.
I looked at her happy appearance with amusement, gently caressing my lower abdomen that was so flat that it couldn't be flatter, I really wanted to tear the smile off her face. I've given birth twice, and it's so amazing. However, looking at her like this, I was still tempted, and then I could see the red smile in my arms, and I could even smell the milk aroma emanating from her.
Well, such a little milk baby is really loving.
I picked up again that kind of love called envy, jealousy, and hatred, and I felt that I was very bad and depraved.
But after so many years, I really haven't been pregnant again, which is also amazing. Am I really old? But there is no other woman in the house who is pregnant anymore, or is Yinzhen old?
My sweat was running down my forehead, and it was a little out of place in this cool time of early spring. I held the red smile and there was an impure picture in my head, and after several judgments, I felt that Yinzhen's condition should be a long time younger. At least he hasn't made a fortune yet, even if he has grown some flesh under my constant dietary attack, he has only changed from lean to strong, and his waist and abdomen are still very powerful. No wonder those little women see him, and they make me find the stars hidden in my eyes.
Maybe I should improve his diet, similar to the pig feed advertisement I saw on a local station back then, eating white rice during the day to gain fat and sleeping soundly at night. Let him gain weight and deform, and directly extinguish the fanatical little flames that those lustful women are burning with him. The thought only flashed through me for a moment, and I was first doused with a basin of cold water from myself, and I must admit that I wouldn't like him like that.
I began to observe carefully, Yinzhen would still go to certain rooms from time to time, and would still come to me, and always disappointed to find that it was still so quiet, and there was no good news from the house. Maybe the time has not come, it's only 49 years of Kangxi, wait a little longer, wait until next year...... Hongli and Hongday are about to be born. One is the future Qianlong Emperor, and the other is the famous Prince of Leisure.
Unfortunately, none of them are mine.
Although I don't want to be a loser, it's still a bit unpleasant. Pray that the kite and the twilight will be happy...... I half-truthfully persuaded myself, give birth, give birth, as long as you give birth to these two children smoothly, Yinzhen will be regarded as a successor.
As for what the future of Honghui or Hongwan siblings looks like, I don't know, I just hope that they can live a healthy life, less disputes like their parents, and happiness and comfort are real happiness.
Yinxiang came back, although he still brought gifts for the children, but as if something was not going well, his eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and he was not as happy as when he returned to Beijing in the past. He is still gentle and considerate to take care of Xiaoyan, but it is difficult to see the comfortable smile of the past. I asked Yinzhen if something had happened, and the man just shook his head, refusing to even say a word to me, without a word of explanation, and he was in a hurry to die.
At the end of April, Yinzhen asked me to prepare to pack outside the Saiwai, and after so many years, he was about to be packed and taken to the grassland by Kangxi again. Only this time, there is no Yinxiang.
For many years, no matter where Kangxi goes, unless a prince doesn't bring it, he is designated to tie him around his waist, but this time, he didn't even take him to play!
I was dealing with Yinzhen and didn't want to go, but no matter what I said or did, it was not easy to speak softly or roll around, and he always looked unswerving. When I'm in a good mood, I have a funny face watching a play, and if it's not good, I just ignore it and lean on the soft couch to read carefully.
It seems that after becoming a prince, his strength is more obvious, hidden under the false veil of the golden mean, and I can't help but have the slightest independent will. His Confucius-like gentlemanly feelings were all dedicated to Kangxi and the chaotic trenches that only belonged to men, or the other little women in the house. I seemed to have become the only channel for him to vent his grievances, and to be excluded.
After the rebellion failed, I thought paradoxically that I would go and take a look, maybe I could find clues, at least I had to know what happened between Yinxiang and Kangxi first. Before I could figure out whether to go or not, I was thrown into the carriage leaving Beijing.
Fortunately, everything that should be arranged has been arranged, and everything that should be prepared is ready.
Then let's go, outside the Saiwai, the vast green grassland, with the blue sky and white clouds, and experience what it means to wind the grass and show cattle and sheep again.
Accompanying him, in addition to him and the prince, there are also the old seven and eight, as well as Yinxiang's shadow Xiao Fifteen and Xiao Sixteen.
Xuanqing would occasionally come to ride in the same carriage with me, and he would always finish the opening remarks, and Yinzhen and Ye would appear outside the car window. Xuan Qing was afraid of him, and I could feel it, and as soon as I saw him appear, he would take my hand and shake it twice, and then quickly jumped out of the carriage and ran away.
In the monitoring of his wife, Yinzhen and Yinzhen have to fight, when I lie on the window to watch the declaration of love that runs back to my carriage, I can always see the gentle man who drove the horse to her side. He has also changed a lot, he is still smiling, but something in his eyes has changed, always looking like a lot of thoughts, and there is occasional bitterness and helplessness in his smile.
The two brothers who lived next to each other would each ride their own horses and walk beside their carriages, and I saw the two of them looking at each other, Yinzhen was always indifferent, not a little more, no more smile or warmth. Yinxi was still smiling, but it didn't reach the bottom of his eyes, the two just nodded their heads, and then turned their faces and drove their horses.
Such an eerie atmosphere...... Related to Yinxiang?
When this thought popped into my head, I was taken aback.
Yinxiang, who did not go with us to the outside of the Saiwai, was still in the capital at this time.
Although he has always followed Yinzhen for more than ten years, with his good temper and indisputability, he has never taken the initiative to offend anyone, and the brothers basically get along well.
Who would do anything to kill him? Is it really because of Yinxi, or the four of them...... In order to fight Yinzhen?
After Yinzhen recovered from his injury, didn't he still talk to Yinxiang with Yinxiang holding a military book? The honest old ten would never say anything disrespectful whenever he saw Yinxiang, and even patted him on the shoulder and grinned. As for the arrogant Lao Jiu who looks at everyone with his chin, he seems to be mixing well with him, at least he is much more affectionate than Yinzhen.
What did they really do? If not, how can Yinzhen's attitude be explained?
I thought I was good to them, and they joined forces to hurt my loved ones......
The heart is instantly cold. The sun was blazing outside the window, but I could feel a layer of cold sweat on my back.
Yinzhen, who didn't have to change the guards, let him wander around by himself at night, and sat in the carriage with his eyes closed. I watched him rest quietly with a fan, at this time he was different from in front of people, his thin lips were slightly pursed, his jaw was clenched very tightly, and there was always a kind of love similar to sorrow between his eyebrows.
This kind of Yinzhen is rare, even if there is something difficult to solve, he will try hard to think about it, and rarely put this kind of love in front of me. At this point, something really is different.
Accompanying us was Twilight, an 18-year-old girl or little woman, who looked even colder than the lively prayer that accompanied us day and night.
When Yinzhen was away, I took her and sat in the carriage with me. This girl who doesn't talk much, looks a little cold on the outside, but in fact she is very easy to get along with, she is a very sullen type, she doesn't change much when she laughs, but her thin lips are slightly picked, and she has to look hard at her eyes to tell the difference, which is very similar to her man.
Seeing Yinzhen coming, she would take the initiative to leave, and when she saw him leave, she came back to me by herself, quiet and sensible.
This trip outside the Seychelles is long...... After Kangxi placed the Empress Dowager in the Rehe Palace, he took his wife and sons to run around, like scattering flowers, running between various grasslands. The meeting with local officials, rewarding, hunting, and carnival lasted for five months.
I saw Tana again, who I hadn't seen in years, and her smile was still bright, and our friendship didn't seem to change over time. It's just that her son has already married a wife and had children, so she was promoted to a grandmother early, and my Honghui is still a child who has not grown up in my eyes.
We no longer gallop wildly, just wander leisurely, watch the sunrise and sunset herds of cattle and sheep, and also go to see the beautiful maple forest stream, sit around drinking wine and eating meat, occasionally laughing and occasionally saying a few words. She would ask about the thirteenth elder brother back then, and she would think of the white dragon horse, Yinzhen looked at the distance and didn't speak, and I could only smile and say that they were all very good.
Time is wonderful, in this green steppe, especially. I don't know what the goodbye is, but we haven't forgotten the happiness of that year, but it's hard to get it back.
Perhaps, if my brother and I had come here instead of the palace in the capital, maybe we would have lived a simpler life, and perhaps, my happiness would have changed to a different shape. Without Yinzhen, my three children are missing, but there is also less today's worries or sorrows. It's just that is really what I want? There are many choices in life, and sometimes, there is no choice, because it is already predestined.
I sat on the grass on Yinzhen's shoulder, looking at the endless green, looking up at the blue sky, which was so clear that it had not changed for more than ten years. Yinzhen's hands were propped up behind him, his long legs were stretched out casually, and his eyes looked at the distance as if they were dark and faint like the night sky here. We sat so quietly that we didn't feel the time passing.
When the sunlight turned orange and wrapped the whole green, he looked sideways at me, as if he was infected by such a quietness, his voice was very soft, "This time I returned to Beijing, the eighth child is moving away, and the house will be expanded according to the regulations, and it will be hard for you again." ”
It turned out that he was really promoted, not only did his salary increase, but even his residence could become bigger. What are the benefits of being a prince!
I have been a neighbor for so many years, and I am not reluctant to be separated at this time. Even if it is to declare the feelings, we rarely have the opportunity to chat and laugh anymore, not to mention that the current 48th Party has long been clearly divided between the Chu River and the Han River.
It is difficult to explain the brotherly feelings between men, even if they have strong feelings, they can be buried deep in their hearts, and always know clearly what they want, what they want and how to do it. I'm just a woman, it's his woman, even if I have a relationship with those brothers that I have cultivated since childhood, I can only cling to him at this time, I must.
"Good. I whispered in my acquaintance, and sat as I had done before, without speaking again.
The questions and worries were still in my heart, but I didn't ask him anymore.
In the past 20 years, there is no difference between Yinxiang and me or him. I believe that Yinxiang at this time is really our brother, if he really has something, Yinzhen will never sit idly by.
It's been a long time since I've had such a quietness.
This kind of grassland is full of life, allowing people to integrate with nature and find the most peaceful heart and self at the same time.
