Saying goodbye to Feiyangu, Lin Zhenyu wandered around the streets for a long time before returning to the palace. In the palace elder brother, the sixth, seventh and eighth elder brother is already looking forward to it, why hasn't the fourth brother come back?

Seeing Lin Zhenyu's figure at first glance, Yinzuo rushed out like a small cannonball, "Fourth brother, you don't take us with you when you go out to play, it's too unkind!" ”

Lin Zhenyu beckoned and instructed the little eunuch to bring them the gifts he had brought to his younger brothers, which were just snacks like marshmallow candy gourds.

Yinyou is the happiest, he is an innocent child, and he has never seen these street foods.

Yinzuo and Yinzuo were holding a string of sugar gourds and marshmallows, wanting to eat and struggling whether to eat or not, when the eldest brother walked in from outside the door.

The eldest brother is already ten years old, and he will be able to take a daughter-in-law in a few years, in view of what happened in the hunting, he and the prince are not very pleasing to the eyes of several younger brothers, Yinxi is raised under the name of his mother, Concubine Hui, he has an absolute reason to discipline Yinxi.

"Yinxi, who allowed you to eat takeout and unclean things?" Yin Zhen raised his eyebrows coldly, the vision that happened during the hunting and the three younger brothers listened to the words of the fourth brother so much, although these are still small beans, but he just doesn't like it.

Yinxi's face suddenly stiffened, and when he raised his head again, his face was full of dazedness and innocence.

"Big brother, do you want to eat? The fourth brother brought it back to his younger brother from outside. At this time, it is the most correct to pretend to be stupid, and he doesn't understand it anyway, so he bites down after speaking, revealing a big gap in the marshmallow.

Yinzuo and Yinyou saw that the eldest brother interfered with the eighth brother's eating so fiercely, and the two of them quickly eliminated the snacks in their hands, and at the end, they patted their stomachs and flattered Lin Zhenyu: "Fourth brother, you are the best, you will bring food for your younger brother when you go out." ”

Yinyou licked his fingers and nodded: "Fourth brother is good." ”

Lin Zhenyu raised her eyebrows, these two were quite interesting, and nodded: "Well, that's your obedience." "If you don't obey, you will be killed in minutes.

The eldest brother Yinchu's face was blue and red, and Yinzhen held the marshmallow and said to him: "Big brother, don't be upset, brother will give you this." ”

Yinzuo stuck out his tongue, the eighth brother is definitely black-bellied, right?

The eldest brother shook his sleeves and turned around and walked out of the elder brother's office, Lin Zhenyu shrugged when he saw this: "Okay, you should go back to the palace, and then the congregation will send someone to find it." ”

The three elder brothers walked out of the elder brother's house with a group of eunuchs hulala, and Lin Zhenyu suddenly became clean. Back in his courtyard, he cleaned it briefly, then turned around and walked out of the elder brother's office and went to the Chengqian Palace to greet the imperial concubine.

Of course, he brought gifts to the imperial concubine.

The imperial concubine is very happy, and her son is still worried about bringing her a gift when he goes out, even if this hairpin is not worth a few dollars, but she is still happy.

When the two mothers and sons were talking and laughing and were happy, Kangxi walked in with the crown prince Yinren, and the eunuchs of the Chengqian Palace were interrupted by Kangxi before they could make a report.

"The concubine has seen the emperor, and the emperor is Jin'an."

"My son has seen Khan Ama and the second brother of the prince."

The two mothers and sons saluted one after another, the prince also returned the salute with the imperial concubine, the palace maid served tea and snacks, and the four people in the palace sat separately.

Kangxi smiled and said, "What are Concubine Ai and Yinzhen talking about?" So happy? ”

The imperial concubine pursed her lips and smiled, and said as if showing off: "It's nothing, Xiaosi went out of the palace to play and brought gifts to the concubine, and the concubine is naturally happy to be a mother." ”

The prince glanced at Lin Zhenyu, Kangxi looked at Lin Zhenyu, and said with a dark face: "Do you know to bring a gift to your mother?" What about this Amma? ”

Lin Zhenyu said without squinting: "No! "When Yinzhen was in that life, he was pitted very badly by Kangxi, and Lin Zhenyu, who had lived again for I don't know how many years, was too lazy to please Kangxi again. Reborn in this parallel time and space of the Qing Dynasty, Lin Zhenyu only planned to be kind to the imperial concubine and the thirteen, and the others treated him according to the other party's attitude towards him.

The imperial concubine's face suddenly stiffened, the corners of the prince's mouth twitched, and Kangxi's face was as black as a pot.

"Next time Xiao Si goes out of the palace again, he will definitely bring it to the emperor, this time Xiao Si will not have enough silver, don't worry about Xiao Si." The imperial concubine had to casually pull up a reason.

Under his son's cold face, Kangxi couldn't sit still, and soon took the prince to the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother.

The imperial concubine sighed faintly and said: "Little four, next time I will give you Khan Ama a good face, he is the emperor, and you Ama is not." ”

Lin Zhenyu shrugged: "Eniang, don't think about it, Khan Ama won't do anything to me, and I don't want his throne." ”

The imperial concubine's eyes widened, she looked left and right, and found that there were indeed no outsiders in the palace, so she breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Don't talk nonsense in the future, be careful that the wall has ears." ”

Lin Zhenyu was noncommittal, the two mothers and sons had dinner together, Lin Zhenyu returned to the elder brother's office, and under the dim candlelight, the imperial concubine and the grandmother beside her chattered.

"Mama, Yinzhen doesn't look like a normal child at all, he still treats the emperor as nothing, what should I do in the future? is not afraid of imperial power, in case it annoys the emperor, it is not that there is no emperor in history who does not kill his son. ”

The grandmother immediately became nervous, "Niangniang, don't talk nonsense, our fourth elder brother understands." Niangniang raised the fourth elder brother very well, look at which outsiders have seen the fourth elder brother and don't say that the fourth elder brother has an extraordinary bearing, as long as the fourth elder brother does not do big rebellious things, how can the emperor be angry with the fourth elder brother? Don't worry about it, the fourth elder brother is filial to his mother, and his blessings are still in the future. ”

Let's talk about Kangxi again, he took the prince to ask the queen mother and the queen mother to say goodbye, which made the prince very uncomfortable sitting in the palace, because his Khan Ama spit bitterness at the queen mother again, suing the fourth elder brother, saying that the fourth elder brother ignored him again.

The Empress Dowager said in a light tone: "The character of the little four is like this, and the emperor is such an adult who still cares about children, doesn't he feel too bad?" The tone changed, and it was a little sour, "I, the old woman, have never seen a gift from my great-grandson." ”

The Queen Mother snickered on the side, the emperor was too stingy to compete with his son as an Amma.

The prince immediately sat still, Kangxi was a little embarrassed and said: "It's the grandson's, it's not the grandson, the grandson won't say it." ”

Kangxi and the crown prince accompanied the empress dowager and the empress dowager to dinner, and then returned to the Qianqing Palace together. Kangxi then taught the prince some government affairs, and then let the prince return to Yuqing Palace, and Kangxi recruited concubines to sleep.

After more than a month of unhurried again, the weather became colder and colder in a blink of an eye, and in November, the grandmother of the imperial concubine of Chengqian Palace was a little hesitant, and after hesitating for a moment, she still said to the imperial concubine: "Niangniang, you didn't change your clothes last month, why don't you ask the imperial doctor to diagnose the pulse?" ”

The imperial concubine herself also knew in her heart, the menstrual affair had been postponed for a long time, how she didn't know, she was just very scared.

"Let's go and ask the Imperial Doctor to check the pulse." There must always be a result, and it is not a way to hang like this.

Lin Zhenyu came to greet the imperial concubine after school in the afternoon, and entered the Chengqian Palace with the imperial doctor, as soon as he saw the imperial doctor in the imperial hospital, he knew what was going on.

"My son asks for peace to my mother." The imperial concubine didn't notice that her son was also here, but the imperial doctor had already come, and it was suddenly a little difficult to ride a tiger.

Lin Zhenyu stood up and walked to the imperial concubine's side, and said to the imperial doctor: "Please ask Imperial Doctor Chen to ask for a pulse from Eniang." ”

The imperial concubine was entangled and entangled, and after the imperial doctor diagnosed the pulse, she suddenly kowtowed and said: "Congratulations to Niangniang, Niangniang is a happy pulse, it's been a month and a half." ”

Mama said a little anxiously: "Why didn't the imperial doctor ask for peace a few times before?" ”

Imperial Doctor Chen smiled: "Niangniang's physique is not as good as ordinary people, and it is common for her to not be diagnosed in the early stage. ”

At this time, Lin Zhenyu asked, "Can Imperial Doctor Chen diagnose whether it is a man or a woman?" Who has better medical skills in Tai Hospital, and is good at this kind of ability. ”

Imperial Physician Chen's face stiffened, his heart went up and down, and he hesitated: "Weichen is not good at medicine, and he can't diagnose the sex of the fetus. After a while, he said: "The medical skills of the hospital are much higher than those of Weichen, and perhaps the hospital can diagnose the pulse and know the sex of the fetus." After saying this, Imperial Physician Chen almost beat his ear scraper, why did he say it in a daze?

The imperial concubine didn't know why her son was asking this, was she worried that she would ignore him when she gave birth to her brother?

After Imperial Physician Chen left, the imperial concubine and Lin Zhenyu in the palace, Lin Zhenyu sighed in her heart and said: "Eniang, tomorrow you ask the hospital to give you a special pulse, and let him tell you that you are pregnant with Gege." ”

The imperial concubine was full of doubts, "Little Four, the child was not born, even if the imperial doctor decides, it will not be known until it is born." ”

As Lin Zhenyu gets older, he doesn't pretend to be a child like before, and he will show another side in front of the imperial concubine in the past year or two.

"Eniang, only Gege can you give birth to her safely and healthily." Seeing that the imperial concubine was still at a loss, Lin Zhenyu really wanted him to say it so clearly?

"Eniang, you are the imperial concubine, from the Tong Jia clan, you are the same clan as Empress Xiaokang, and you are also the cousin of Khan Ama, the Tong clan is already like a flower and a fire. Even if Khan Ama agrees to give birth to an elder brother, the Empress Dowager will not allow anyone to threaten the crown prince's position. ”

The imperial concubine's face changed suddenly, and Lin Zhenyu said again: "If you don't believe it, wait for three days and then ask for a safe pulse, it will definitely be the courtyard that will come to ask for your pulse." ”

The imperial concubine's eyes rolled, her eyes were a little moist, and her hand holding her son tightened, "E-Niang has never thought about it like this, E-Niang needs to think about it." ”

Lin Zhenyu nodded, and after taking care of the imperial concubine resting, he walked out of the Chengqian Palace, originally he didn't want to say it, but when the words came to his mouth, he said it unconsciously.

The news that the imperial concubine was pregnant quickly spread throughout the palace, and everyone had mixed reactions when they received the news.

Yinzuo was eating with Concubine De, and when she heard the eunuch coming, Concubine De's hand on the table paused, and then she put it down as if nothing happened.

"Eniang, the imperial concubine is pregnant, why don't you find Khan Ama to get the fourth brother back."

Concubine De was stunned, and suddenly heard her son's words, but before she could react, her face changed dramatically after a while: "How do you know?" ”

Yinzuo drank the soup and pouted: "There are no secrets in this palace, I play everywhere in the palace every day, and I will naturally know it when I hear a lot." ”

Concubine De said with a cold face: "Don't talk about this matter again in the future, the fourth elder brother is the son of the imperial concubine." ”

Yinzuo pouted again, he, the mother, was afraid that he would never find a second stubborn woman in the palace, and Concubine Yi didn't raise the fifth brother, the fifth brother was raised by the queen mother's side, and he didn't see Concubine Yi and didn't wait to see the fifth brother?

"Eniang, Concubine Yi didn't treat the fourth brother like you to the fifth brother, you will regret it in the future."

Concubine De glared at Yinzuo again, Yinzuo immediately stopped talking, and he said that he would definitely be beaten by Eniang. When he went to bed at night, Yinzuo hugged his small quilt and got into Eniang's big bed, and he slept with Eniang.

Concubine De couldn't sleep with her son in her arms, but she insisted that she had done nothing wrong, if she hadn't given the fourth elder brother to the imperial concubine, the imperial concubine would not have reciprocated Li in the eighteenth year of Kangxi, please make her a concubine, and the Yinzuo behind her would not be able to raise her by herself, since she had already sent it out, then there was no reason to come back.

The next day, Lin Zhenyu came to greet the imperial concubine after school, the imperial concubine's expression was not very good, Lin Zhenyu sighed in her heart, and advised: "Eniang, please take care of your body, your body is not as healthy as others, for the sake of the sister in the womb, please don't think too much." ”

The imperial concubine grabbed her son's hand again and said, "Xiaosi, do you think that no matter what you do, the emperor will not treat you well, and the most important son in his heart is always the prince, so you are so cold to the emperor?" ”

Lin Zhenyu was stunned for a moment and nodded: "There is this reason." All the sons behind us combined can't catch up with the status of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in Khan Amma's heart. ”

The imperial concubine said sadly: "What about me? Can't I catch up with Empress Hyo Seong-in? ”

Lin Zhenyu couldn't help but laugh and said, "Eniang, I can't answer you this question." If you die when you were young and beautiful, I think Khan Ama will remember you and show the world your place in his heart. Maybe it will be for you, and no one else will be the queen. "This is really what he Khan Ama did.

The imperial concubine was speechless, wiped the tears on her cheeks, and then looked at her son in front of her, who was less than her shoulder height, and stammered: "Little four, how do you know this?" E-Niang doesn't understand it, and she won't teach you. ”

"I didn't think you would ask that question." Lin Zhenyu turned around, sat on the couch next to the imperial concubine, and said, "Eniang, do you believe in resurrection from the dead?" ”

The imperial concubine was dumbfounded, this era is very reverent for ghosts and gods, she stammered: "Is that what I understand?" ”

Lin Zhenyu nodded, and didn't elaborate, only said a few things, which already made the imperial concubine unbelievable.

The imperial concubine couldn't care about being calculated by the person next to her for a while, and thought about her son's words in a daze, what her son said was very able to explain the reason why he was young and old over the years, and learned that she really became a queen for a day in a few years, which immediately made her laugh, but her heart was sad.

Two days later, please be safe, the imperial concubine sat in the Chengqian Palace, and the moment she saw the courtyard stepping into the main hall door, the last flame of hope in her heart was also extinguished.

The imperial concubine keenly felt that the atmosphere around her was relaxed, she lowered her eyes and sighed, it turned out that this harem really had no true feelings. It's just that she wants to know that the emperor and the empress dowager escort His Royal Highness the Crown Prince so much, can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really ascend the throne smoothly? However, when she asked her son this question, he kept silent.

The imperial concubine's thoughts were suddenly enlightened, she felt that she still knew too little, so the imperial concubine picked up the history books of various dynasties and generations and began to read.

Kangxi learned the exact news from the courtyard, and his heart was relieved, so as not to hurt his cousin, so he reported it to the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager beckoned to say that she knew, just a Gege, not a brother.

Brother Lin Zhenyu has been surrounded by six, seven or eight elder brothers, Yinzuo and Yinzuo with a cautious attitude, after observing for a long time and not finding any changes in the fourth brother's relationship, Yinzuo breathed a sigh of relief.

Yinxi's mood is a little complicated, when did he care so much about the fourth brother?

The next day, before Lin Zhenyu arrived at Chengqian Palace, he heard that the Hesheri clan had entered the palace to visit the imperial concubine, and as soon as he arrived at Chengqian Palace, he saw the imperial concubine in a daze.

"E-niang? What's wrong with you? It's not that I've told you, it's not time for you to think too much. Lin Zhenyu said a little helplessly.

Seeing that it was her son, the imperial concubine showed a smile, pulled her son to sit beside her, and looked inside and outside the hall, "Today, your Guo Luoma Mama came to visit me in the palace, and the Tong family is very happy that I am pregnant." The expression on his face was like a smile and a cry, "The Tong family originally planned to let your aunt enter the palace next year, but I have already asked Guo Luoma to bring you a letter to Guo Luomafa, so that they can marry your aunt." She also knew the Tong family's plans before, and for the sake of the Tong family, she agreed, but now that the Tong family's daughter can't give birth to an elder brother, why bother entering the palace to delay the family's daughter's youth?

Lin Zhenyu nodded and said that she knew, it doesn't matter if her aunt gets married, if a woman in this era has no children, her life will be a pool of stagnant water, no matter who her aunt marries in the future, with the support of the Tong family, it will not be much worse.

The Hesheri clan walked out of the palace with a smile on his face, but as soon as he entered the Tong family, his face elongated, and he was a little chaotic and disbelievable. When she finally waited for the master to come back, she immediately went to the study and had a secret conversation with the master.

Tong Guowei has been walking with wind these days, because his daughter is pregnant, and he will be the prince's grandfather in the future. But something happened to the mother? ”

Hesheri looked around, and then walked in Tong Guowei and whispered: "Master, Niangniang asked us to marry Hui'er, the fifteen-year-old girl, it's time to think about family affairs." ”

Tong Guowei didn't take it seriously, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, the mother is pregnant, and Hui'er doesn't need to enter the palace." ”

Hesheri sighed and gritted his teeth, "Niangniang said that her fetus has been clearly Gege. ”

Tong Guowei's face stiffened, and the Hesheri clan didn't sell it anymore, and said everything that the imperial concubine had said, Tong Guowei sat down on the chair, his face was deep: "Hehe, this is the good son born to my sister, so calculating the Tong family and calculating his cousin." After a while, he said: "Also, his surname is Aixin Jueluo, and our surname is Tong Jia, and we are not a family after all." ”

Hesheri wiped his tears and said: "I knew that I wouldn't let Xiu'er enter the palace, and if I married an ordinary family, I could enjoy the joy of family." ”

It's just that in these years, the imperial power is deeply rooted in the human form, Tong Guowei is no longer unwilling and helpless, and after the New Year, the harem has come with good news one after another, especially the pregnancy of the concubine from the Niu Colu family, Tong Guowei's face is full of deep face, and he convened his eldest brother Tong Guogang to discuss the matter.

Tong Guogang learned the news from his niece from his younger brother, and suddenly his eyes were as big as a cow's eyes, and he slammed his fist on the table.

"Is this true? Xiu'er said it to her younger siblings in person? ”

Tong Guowei nodded with a dark face, "Hehe, what does our Tong family have?" Why be afraid of us. can let Niu Colu's family give birth to a prince, and don't let our daughter give birth to a prince, it's really a good nephew, and my sister gave birth to a good son. ”

Tong Guogang gritted his teeth and said: "My sister didn't enjoy the blessings of her son, he was raised by the Empress Dowager." ”

Tong Guowei waved his hand: "Let's pay attention to our actions in the future, the children in the family must also be restrained and then taught, and they can't be allowed to do whatever they want, the emperor will not tolerate them all the time." Xiu'er said that let the focus teach Long Keduo and Oro Dai well, and they can't let them mix anymore, and if they break the law in the future, even the imperial concubine can't protect them. ”

So far, the two brothers have been much more low-key, and they are no longer blindly expanding their power in the officialdom, and when they go out to socialize, when others congratulate them on being the prince's foreign family, they have to look happy with their faces.

In the palace, there are three more pregnant women, and the atmosphere is very unusual, and many concubines look at Kangxi like a dog sees meat and bones. At this time, the imperial concubine was already five months pregnant, and no one calculated her, she ate and drank well and slept well during this time, and her physical condition was not bad.

Lin Zhenyu still lives a simple and boring life, going to school, eating and getting out of school, and then visiting the imperial concubine to say goodbye to the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother. Well, because he had the intention to avoid Kangxi, except after seeing Kangxi during the Chinese New Year, he never met Kangxi again for more than a month. But after the year, the contradiction between the prince Yinren and the eldest brother became more and more acute, even in front of Kangxi, he did not give in, but Kangxi only protected the prince, which made the eldest brother Yinren more and more unfair, and so on, the two elder brothers fought each other, and their respective foreign families also fought-for-tat, spreading to the court, but Kangxi saw it in his eyes, but did not take any action.
