But Yin Zhen didn't have much patience to appease at the moment, so he had to bite the bullet and continue to say first, "You only said that your fourth brother was going to sell you, have you ever thought that in the current situation, if the prince has another mistake, how will you and my brother deal with themselves?" Yin Zhen said and patted Yin Xiang twice on the shoulder, "You believe in the fourth brother, if there is a better way, the fourth brother will definitely not want you to make any sacrifices." ”

"Fourth brother!" Yinxiang still doesn't want to accept such a fact.

"The fourth brother promised you that as long as you pass tonight's level, there will be no such thing in the future." Yinzhen still ruthlessly stopped Yinxiang's words. "Yinxiang, Fourth Brother knows that you want an explanation. But time is running out for me to explain more to you. You just said so much, the fourth brother only chose one and told you first, you only said that my mother is still in the palace, but why don't you want to think about the various involvements between the Guerjia clan and the harem? We can check it, can't Huang Ama find it? If Huang Ama is suspicious of going to the harem for this, not only will the fire on the prince's side not be extinguished, but who else can we rely on in the palace in the future? ”

Although Yinxiang was unwilling to accept it, he already understood that what Yinzhen said was the truth, a cruel but irresistible fact. Over the years, Concubine De has given herself a lot of kindness, and once something happens in Yonghe Palace, let alone Yinzhen Yinyu, even he himself will definitely be implicated.

Seeing that Yinxiang was no longer arguing, Yinzhen knew that he had already listened to his words, "The truth will be here first." Let's talk about what else you need to do to solve this problem. ”

No one knows what the Yinzhen and Yinxiang brothers said, people only know that they stayed until dawn the next day, and the words that reached the emperor's ears were: The palace maid Guerjia met the drunken thirteen elder brothers in the verandah at night, and the two fell in love at first sight, and the thirteenth elder brother took away the Guerjia clan. After waking up, the thirteenth elder brother found that he had made a big mistake, so at this time, the thirteenth elder brother was led by the crown prince and the fourth elder brother to kneel in the courtyard of the emperor's temporary residence to plead guilty.

"This is how things go before and after, and I ask my father-in-law to know it." Yinxiang didn't want to recall this past, just to make it clear to Marhan, so he had to reluctantly do it.

After listening to this, Marhan pondered for a long time, "Looking for Brother to say this, did the emperor finally accept the 'story' you prepared?" ”

Yinxiang smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Father-in-law will ask from this, which shows that you don't believe that we have passed the customs smoothly." ”

Malhan nodded, indeed, such an excuse seemed too far-fetched to him.

"Huang Ama only rebuked me in public at that time, and gave me the Guerga clan to make a qualge." Yin Xiang said with a somewhat confused face, "Afterwards, we summoned the three of us separately, and the content of our recitals was different, but one thing is well known. ”

Marhan looked at Yinxiang, and suddenly showed a slightly enlightened expression on his face, "So you sacrificed Mount Tai that year, and the prince stayed in Shandong to recuperate, all because of this incident?" ”

When Kangxi returned to Luan, stationed in the palace in Dezhou, the prince suddenly fell ill, and specially summoned Suo Etu to serve the sick, during which the thirteenth elder brother sacrificed Mount Tai, and then the prince's return date was more than a month later than Kangxi's trip. At that time, there were all kinds of speculations in the court about this, why did the prince suddenly fall ill? According to the order of the eldest and youngest, why is it not the fourth elder brother?

After listening to Yinxiang's words today, Malhan finally understood the secret. "In this way, the emperor not only knows the truth of the matter, but also rewards and punishes the three of you. The prince was punished by mistake, so it was not the so-called sudden illness in the newspaper, but he was punished and confined, and Suo Etu did not go to serve the sick, but to take care of it. And the virtuous son-in-law was punished for the crown prince, so he received the honor of substitute sacrifice. As for the fourth elder brother, the old man remembered that he returned to Beijing before you sacrificed Mount Tai, and that was just no reward or punishment. ”

Yinxiang nodded helplessly, "That's right." ”

However, Marhan quickly changed his words, "Well, next, is the virtuous son-in-law going to tell the old man that you are in the first place and the acquaintance of Niansheng is the last, so when it comes to marriage, you are not a deception to Niansheng and the old man?" ”

Yinxiang had long known that Malhan would not let himself go so easily, "If I say this, then does my father-in-law want to ask, why did I get along with Niansheng for many years, but I didn't say a word about it?" ”

Marhan didn't answer, just waited for Yinxiang to say it himself.

"Father-in-law, please rest assured, since Yinxiang is about to say it today, he will definitely give you an explanation." Having said so much, Yinxiang has calmed down a lot, "On the way back to Beijing that year, the Guerjia clan has been with Yinxiang, since I have accepted her, then we have ...... what we have before" Having said that, but because of the relationship between Niansheng, Yinxiang felt that what he said was not reasonable.

"The young man has a heart, and the old man is also a person from the past." In the family of the noble officials and eunuchs, it is really nothing for a man to have a concubine before marrying his wife, and this is very clear to Marhan.

Yinxiang thanked Marhan and continued, "Who would have thought that when I returned to Beijing, I would see Ling Yan, and I would never forget it. To this day, Yinxiang is still glad that he was able to marry Niansheng. ”

"How do you explain the child's matter?" Malhan always attacked again when Yinxiang had just slackened.

This made Yinxiang really tired of parrying, but he had to cheer up and deal with it well, "When I came back from the paddock that year, I already had the idea of marrying Huang Ama. As for my affection for the Gualga clan in the first place, there is no affection for the Gualga clan in the first place, and the matter between me and her was originally caused by her use of me. And when I recognized the voice, I became even more disgusted with her. When the fourth brother knew about this, he asked Fujin to take the Guerjia clan out of the palace and live in a private house of Sifujin's mother's family. ”

Having said this, a look of disgust faintly appeared on Yinxiang's face, as if the mention of the Guerjia clan had already disgusted him. "As for that child...... Yinxiang wanted to say that it was his unintentional mistake, but he didn't think it was appropriate, so he couldn't say it in the end.

Malhan was quite satisfied with Yinxiang's statement, he knew that the Guerjia clan and the daughter she gave birth to still live in the private house of Sifu Jin's mother's family, which also shows that Yinxiang does not have much affection for this mother and daughter, and it is obviously unlikely that the Guarjia clan wants to threaten his daughter's status with the child.

Putting away such thoughts, Malhan was ready to take a turn around the tense atmosphere between Weng and his son-in-law just now, and also appease the emotions of the elder brother in front of him, after all, his thoughts were already thirteen blessings, and whether he could properly handle the affairs of Guarjia's mother and daughter depended on Yinxiang's meaning.

Unexpectedly, before Malhan could find the right words to speak, the door of the study was pushed open with a bang.

"Something that doesn't have rules! Didn't you see my lord, I was talking to my uncle? When Malhan heard the sound, he reprimanded him without raising his head.

"As for the child?" The voice of the voice sounded at the door of the study.

Shocked that Malhan and Yinxiang were stunned, Yinxiang stood up directly from the chair, took a few steps to meet Niansheng, and just wanted to explain, but was blocked by Niansheng.

Yinxiang's embarrassment was seen by Niansheng, but she didn't give Yinxiang a chance to explain, but bypassed Yinxiang and went straight to Marhan's bookcase, smiled slightly and said to her own Amma, "My daughter followed Eniang to meet your sisters and aunts, and the sisters all said that they wanted to ask Brother for peace, so as not to meet in the future, and the relatives didn't know each other, and it would be a joke to say it." So he sent his daughter to invite Ama and Lord Belle to the flower hall. E-Niang said, even through the curtain, it can be regarded as a family meeting. ”

"Huh?" Seeing that Yinxiang had been ignored by his daughter, Malhan knew that his thoughts had become angry, and hurriedly agreed, "Ah! Yes, yes, your mother is very worried, they are all family members, and it is not too much for them to greet Lord Belle. ”

"That's exactly what it means." Niansheng smiled undiminishedly, "It's just that my daughter thinks it's not too early, if she goes in a hurry now, she can't say a few words, and I'm afraid that I will delay the time to go out, but it will be meaningless." So I said that I came first and invited Lord Belle to prepare to go out together, sisters, and aunts only sent one in front. Amma thinks it's okay? ”

Marhan looked at the smile on his daughter's face, and secretly screamed in his heart, but there was no disagreement on his lips, and he praised vigorously, "It's still my family's Xiaoqi who thinks about it thoroughly, even your mother can't compare to your little benefit." Just do what you want. While speaking, Malhan greeted Yinxiang, who was still standing by the door, stunned, and said, "The old man has many daughters in the family, and the voice is the smallest, the new son-in-law enters the door, they have to play a few tricks, and if there is anything offensive to Lord Belle later, the old man will compensate you here first." ”

Yinxiang subconsciously helped Malhan, "Father-in-law is polite." "The princes have long been familiar with the style of officialdom and entertainment, and some things are done without going through the brain, and they will naturally respond appropriately when they meet them.

Marhan took the opportunity to take Yinxiang's hand, his face full of smiles, "So let's go together." Twisting his face, he commanded, "You go a few steps quickly and tell your mother, just say that me and Lord Belle will arrive later, let them also pay attention, don't be too rude." ”

The voice answered, and without looking at Yinxiang, he hurriedly left again.

Yinxiang glanced at his father-in-law gratefully, but he really didn't know what to say.

Marhan sighed heavily, "Alas, after all, it's the old man's. If you hadn't been asked these things today, how could you have caused these things? ”

Yinxiang didn't want to embarrass his father-in-law, so he had to say, "I originally wanted to wait until I returned to the door today to talk to Niansheng, but I have been struggling not to know how to speak, but now with this matter, it can be regarded as a relief for me." ”

Weng and his son-in-law looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and walked to the front hall together.
