Chapter 58: The Sixth Elder Brother
The spring of the twenty-ninth year of Kangxi seems to have come exceptionally early.
By the end of the first month, the snow in the Forbidden City had gradually melted.
When the sky is clear, the sun shines on people, and they only feel warm and indescribably comfortable.
Gu Qinghuan didn't have a chance to bask in the sun.
At this moment, in the small courtyard behind Elder Brother, Gu Qinghuan was holding the silk thread of the kite in his hand, and he was running profusely sweating and panting.
"I really flew up..."
Su Peisheng stood a little farther away, and glanced at Yinzhen who was sitting beside him.
Yin Zhen took a sip of tea calmly, and then looked up at the kite in the sky, thoughtful.
The sixth elder brother Yinzuo has been sick for a long time, and the kite flying thing that he said earlier can't be done, and Yinzhen will move out of the palace in a few days.
When the time comes, there will be no chance.
Yin Zhen just thought about it, and today he was flying a kite at Brother's house.
After the kite flew to the sky, he sent someone to Yonghe Palace to say something, and asked Yinzuo to look out of the window. In this way, it can be regarded as the fulfillment of his heart.
But Yinzhen can't fly a kite.
After working hard for a long time in the morning, the kite was either planted or hung on a tree.
When Su Peisheng came down from the ladder for the third time and walked back to Yinzhen with the kite, Yinzhen was silent for a moment, and finally sighed and asked Su Peisheng to find Gu Qinghuan to come over.
This is the scene in front of me.
The kite hangs high in the sky, and against the blue sky, it is extremely beautiful to look at.
When he was a child, he actually accompanied Yinzuo to fly a kite.
Just that once... Yinzuo fell off the rockery. Since then, the two brothers have hardly had the opportunity to see each other. Not to mention, play together again.
"Pour her a cup of tea."
Yin Zhen leaned back on the chair behind him and ordered, "There are still snacks." Ask her if she's hungry. ”
"Yes."
Su Peisheng responded, took the tray and went to Gu Qinghuan in front of him with tea and snacks.
At this moment, the kite has already flown high, as long as the silk thread is slowly stretched along the direction of the wind, it can gradually rise, and there is no need to run all the time.
Gu Qinghuan was just about to sit on the grass and take a rest, when Su Peisheng came over.
"Miss Qinghuan, drink saliva and eat some snacks."
Su Peisheng looked at Gu Qinghuan's flushed face and said, "Look at it, it's hot like this, why don't I help you hold the silk thread, and you go and rest for a while?" ”
"It's fine."
Gu Qinghuan agreed directly, and went to Yinzhen's side.
In the entire small courtyard, only the gazebo where Yinzhen sat could barely let people rest.
in the gazebo.
Yin Zhen sat on the stone bench and watched the kite, and Gu Qinghuan sat on a small pestle a little farther away, eating snacks and drinking tea seriously.
It's really not easy for her.
In order to hug his thighs, he took out the perseverance of running 800 meters.
"Gu Qinghuan."
As soon as he ate half of the dim sum, and there was still broken foam on the side of his mouth, Yinzhen spoke.
"The slave is here." Gu Qinghuan wiped his mouth and hurriedly agreed.
"Go to Yonghe Palace, tell the sixth elder brother, and let him take a look outside the house. Can you see... This kite. ”
Yin Zhen's voice was a little distant, as if he was reminiscing, as if he was a little sad, and said: "Well, I can be regarded as fulfilling my promise." ”
"I'm going to leave the palace in a few days, and if he's not in good health, don't get out of bed. I'll go back to the palace when I'm free, and I'll go to see him. ”
"Yes."
Gu Qinghuan nodded in response, turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait." Yin Zhen stopped Gu Qinghuan all of a sudden. Gu Qinghuan turned his head with a puzzled face.
"Do you recognize the way to Yonghe Palace?"
"Yes! It's on the edge of Chengqian Palace! ”
She hasn't been, but she's not a fool, she can still get lost!
Yin Zhen thought about it, took the back half of the sentence, turned his head and stopped looking at Gu Qinghuan.
He originally wanted to send someone to take Gu Qinghuan with her, so that she could be more careful on the road. Now it seems...
This little palace maid's face was full of confidence, telling or something, it shouldn't be necessary.
Outside Yonghe Palace, Gu Qinghuan was stopped and asked to wait outside. After a while, I unexpectedly saw Aunt Shuyi coming out from behind the wall.
After the last incident in Suiyuan, Aunt Shuyi was sent by Concubine De to take care of the clothes warehouse.
I haven't seen her for a long time, but Aunt Shuyi is still full of spring breeze, and she even looks a little plump. It can be seen that life is even better than before.
"Aunt Shuyi."
Gu Qinghuan served Aunt Shuyi, and the courtesy was thorough.
"I heard that you are here to find the sixth elder brother?"
Aunt Shuyi seemed to be smiling, and squinted at Gu Qinghuan.
"Yes." Gu Qinghuan bowed his head and said, "I gave the meaning of the fourth elder brother." ”
"I know." Aunt Shuyi responded coldly, and said, "At this hour, the sixth elder brother is about to drink medicine, and I am afraid that he will not be available for a while." ”
"The slave will be waiting here."
Gu Qinghuan's face was expressionless and continued to stand straight.
She wasn't worried that Aunt Shuyi would embarrass herself.
Aunt Shuyi has been in the palace for many years, and she is not a fool. The person who embarrassed Yinzhen at the gate of Yonghe Palace, the one who couldn't please him was Concubine De herself.
"Then you can wait."
Aunt Shuyi left these words, her eyes flashed a trace of gloom, and she turned her head and left.
"It's worthy of being a person who can come out of Suiyuan's hands." Aunt Shuyi slandered in her heart, and when no one was around, a trace of fierceness flashed in her eyes, and then she went towards the main hall of Yonghe Palace.
Gu Qinghuan waited at the gate of Yonghe Palace for two quarters of an hour.
There was no movement, not even a little palace maid who came out to pay tribute.
Gu Qinghuan's heart was cold, and he understood a little bit about the relationship between Concubine De and Yinzhen.
The mother-son relationship is so indifferent to this point, which is really hard to imagine.
Even the little palace maid who came over beside him stopped at the door and waited.
Gu Qinghuan gathered his thoughts, took a deep breath, and went directly into the Yonghe Palace.
In Yonghe Palace, the little palace maids who swept were busy with each other, and when they saw Gu Qinghuan who suddenly walked in, they were stunned, and they even forgot to step forward to stop them.
Gu Qinghuan looked around and went towards the east wing.
In the Yonghe Palace, the east wing is the best side hall. It's warm in winter and cool in summer, presumably the sixth elder brother lives in it.
In the east wing, Concubine De was sitting on the edge of the bed, telling Yinzuo a story, coaxing him to drink the medicine and then prepare for sleep.
Aunt Shuyi was guarding the door, and the moment she saw Gu Qinghuan coming, she was also directly stunned.
How did she just come in?
Aunt Shuyi frowned, hurriedly stepped forward and lowered her voice, "Why did you come in?" ”
"Just a little palace maid passed on the slave maid to come in."
Gu Qinghuan raised his voice slightly and asked, "Can the sixth elder brother see the slave at this moment?" The slave and maid are here to spread the word, if it is inconvenient for the sixth elder brother to meet people, it is okay to let the five sons around the sixth elder brother come out! ”
