173 - Let's talk about the New Year first
From a distance, the person who came was dressed in court clothes and walked briskly.
Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, not to mention anything else, those who can walk in the inner palace at this time must be relatives.
Madame Marhan swallowed the words from her mouth for a moment, and took her daughter aside to make way for a salute. When the people walked in, Mrs. Marhan saw the faces of the people who came, and said, "Say hello to the fourth beyler, and say hello to the thirteenth elder brother." ”
Niansheng has always been a good rule in front of people, so he always half-bowed his head, and did not see the face of the person who came over.
It's been a while since the end of the court, but Yinzhen and Yinxiang have just come from the front. It turned out that because Yinxiang had been favored in front of the emperor in the past two years, and Yinzhen and he were both walking in the military department, naturally there were many sycophants who wanted to deliberately stammer the two of them today. As soon as the morning grew, the two brothers were greeted by these people to Tuan Tuan in order to greet the New Year.
If it was in the past, Yinzhen would definitely leave with a cold face, and Yinxiang would have followed suit. But today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and it's not good to find others casually, so I don't have to socialize a few words. Although they didn't talk much, they couldn't stand the fact that there were many people coming and going, and the brothers had to smile stiffly to get out.
Nian Sheng saluted behind his mother, and said softly: "Say hello to the fourth beyler, and say hello to the thirteenth elder brother." ”
Yin Zhen didn't expect to meet someone who asked him to say goodbye here, and his face stiffened for a while, and he wanted to say yes casually and pass, but after hearing the sentence, he couldn't help but stop. Although Yin Zhen didn't recognize Mrs. Marhan clearly, he recognized Niansheng, and then looked at the form between the two, and immediately understood in his heart that the woman in front of him should be Mrs. Marhan. Then he smiled politely and said, "Madam, please get up." ”
Although Yinxiang followed behind Yinzhen, he had already seen the figure of Niansheng, and he was happy in his heart, but he didn't say anything because of Sibeile's presence.
Yinzhen glanced back at Yinxiang, thought about it for a while, and still patiently greeted Mrs. Marhan, "Did Madam enter the palace to greet the imperial concubine?" ”
Mrs. Marhan hurriedly said: "Back to the words of the fourth beylor, exactly. By the grace of the imperial concubine, the concubine took the little girl into the palace to invite the New Year. ”
"Oh." Yin Zhen is really not used to dealing with the wife, and she doesn't know what to greet, so she is a little speechless for a while.
When Mrs. Marhan saw that Sibeile had nothing to say but did not leave, she smiled with a discerning smile: "After the previous congratulatory gifts were dispersed, Concubine Mondstadt and the little girl had refreshments in Yonghe Palace, so they came out late. Now that I'm going home, I won't bother the fourth Belle and the thirteenth elder brother too much. ”
Yin Zhen breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and smiled naturally on his face, "Yes, too." Today is the first day of the new year, and the house must be very lively, so it is time to go back for a reunion early. ”
Mrs. Marhan thanked Yinzhen and said respectfully: "Please four Baylors, and the thirteenth elder brother will go first." As he spoke, he took another half step back to the side of the road.
Nian Sheng heard that Yinxiang was also behind his mother, although he repeatedly restrained, he still couldn't help but peek at him, but he couldn't always stare at him, so he had to look up from time to time.
Yinxiang stood behind Yinzhen, and when he saw that Mrs. Marhan was just talking to him, he simply stared at Niansheng generously.
So every time Niansheng raised his head, he could look at Yinxiang's focused gaze, and his heart was happy, and his face was unconsciously brought out, and the smile that he couldn't bear made people feel that he couldn't follow her to rejoice.
Here, Mrs. Marhan and Sibeile said goodbye, Yinzhen was about to leave, and he and Yinxiang also said that they would go to their own Eniang Palace to ask for peace before the family banquet.
After walking two steps, Yinzhen and Mrs. Marhan both showed that something was wrong, it turned out that the thirteenth elder brother didn't hear their words at all, and still stood in place and didn't move. Looking at the past again, as for why it didn't move, it goes without saying.
"Ahem." Yin Zhen coughed lightly in embarrassment.
Yinxiang was stunned for a moment, and then showed his gaffe, but immediately smiled and owed Mrs. Marhan again, and said, "Rude." ”
Mrs. Marhan squatted for half a blessing, signaled that it was okay, and asked Yinxiang to go first.
Yinxiang glanced at Niansheng again, and saw that Niansheng didn't look up at him again, so he took two quick steps to chase Yinzhen.
Listening to Yinxiang's footsteps here, he helped his mother and continued to walk outside the palace.
After walking about twenty steps, Nian Sheng quietly turned his head, wanting to take another look at Yinxiang's back.
Who knew that the thirteenth elder brother also turned around, and when he looked at it at a glance, the pair on both sides was actually more solid than he had just seen.
Mrs. Marl saw that her daughter turned her head and looked back, and knew what was going on without looking back, so she patted her hand twice without light or seriousness.
Startled, he quickly turned his head, glanced at his mother, and lowered his head.
"Alright. I've seen it all, why are you still pretending to be shy at this time? Mrs. Marhan smiled and said, "Your little bit of caution, E-Niang knows everything." The two of you are going to be together sooner or later, and how many people are staring at it right now, you still have to have some scruples. ”
Nian Sheng nodded, and called out embarrassedly "Eniang" and asked, "What did Concubine De Niangniang say to you?" ”
Mrs. Marhan thought for a moment before saying, "Concubine De didn't say anything, but Eniang understood everything. ”
"E-niang, what do you mean by that?" Nian Sheng felt that these words were very powerful.
"E-niang, this is teaching you the knowledge of speaking in this palace, and it is also the doorway you will learn in the future." Mrs. Marhan suddenly felt that her daughter was still too young, although she had been following her housekeeper for several years, and she was considered to have some ability, but compared to the people in the palace, it was still far behind. Thinking of this, Mrs. Marhan fell silent suddenly, and she had to think carefully about how she could pave the way for her daughter in the future.
Over there, Yinxiang followed Yinzhen to Yonghe Palace.
Yinzhen originally wanted to talk to Yinxiang a few words, but before he could speak, he was blocked back by the thirteenth elder brother who had always been good-tempered.
Yinxiang smiled and made a loss to Yinzhen first, "Fourth brother, it's my fault for this matter today, you didn't say me in front of people just now, I thank you." Then he said: "I can't bear all the mistakes, so you can say a few words." Under the Chinese New Year, my brother also wants to be festive and festive, right? ”
Yinzhen, who said two sentences, lost his temper, so he had to shake his head and walk with his head bored.
In Yonghe Palace, Bu Guiren looked at Concubine De's face with an uneasy face, and after thinking about it, he asked carefully: "What Niangniang said to her concubine and sister-in-law just now, the concubine didn't seem to understand too much. ”
Concubine De held back her words for a long time, and when she heard Bu Guiren's question, she could be regarded as having found someone to talk to, so she picked up and told her about it, after all, Niansheng was her niece, and there were some things that she still had to know first. "So in the future, my sister will also help me take care of them more. Although the emperor's arrangement is a little wronged by our children at the moment, but in the long run, it is also her blessing, isn't it? ”
Although Bu Guiren gave birth to a daughter, his status in the palace has always been mediocre, if he is not good friends with Yonghe Palace, he may not know what the situation will be. What's more, Concubine De's words are all reasonable, and the emperor's meaning is there, so she naturally can't say a single word "no". "What Niangniang said is that the concubine wrote it down. It's just that the niece of the concubine is stubborn, I'm afraid that "there is no aunt who doesn't feel sorry for her niece, and as soon as she enters the door, she will serve a husband with others as a concubine, and it is false to say that she is not wronged."
"This Fucha family is all from the army, although I haven't seen it yet, but I heard that the temperament is stronger than the average girl." Concubine De lowered her head and fiddled with the armor on her hand, "Such a temperament is bound to be unable to bear the heavy responsibility of Chang Fujin, what are you afraid of?" Thinking that the emperor secretly explained his affairs, Concubine De's heart suddenly became irritable.
Bu Guiren saw that Concubine De was uncertain, so he didn't dare to say more.
Fortunately, Yinzhen and Yinxiang came in at this time, and they were not too embarrassed.
The emperor was also taking advantage of this moment of leisure, taking off his coat and waiting for Li Dequan to get him clothes for the family banquet for a while, while drinking tea and listening to people talk about what happened in the palace last night.
Hearing that the elder brothers went to the prince's east palace for the night, the emperor showed a disdainful smile. "What? really acted in a drama of brothers, friends and brothers? ”
The person who replied cautiously knelt on the ground, not daring to say anything.
Kangxi didn't think about it and said: "You don't have to be afraid, tell me everything you know, everything before and after." Since I told you to inquire, you should know that I don't want you to hide anything. ”
The person who replied felt that his back was full of sweat, and he gritted his teeth and kowtowed before he dared to reply.
During this period, the emperor's face changed a few times, and finally he was relieved and smiled lightly, and ordered Li Dequan to reward the person who replied, and let him go down.
Li Dequan looked at the hour and reminded the emperor softly: "Your Majesty, you don't think it's too early, don't you?" ”
"Don't rush, let them wait." Kangxi didn't mean to get up, "All of them are young men of the right age, they had a good night last night, and it doesn't hurt to stay up a little longer today." ”
Li Dequan knew that the emperor was unhappy, but he could only smile and say yes.
"You said that if all of their thoughts were used in political affairs, wouldn't it be much easier for me?" Kangxi imagined the faces of his sons in the side hall of the East Palace last night, and he didn't know whether to be bitter or laugh, "Forget it!" The Emperor sighed suddenly, and then got up and ordered someone to change his clothes. Let's wait for the end of the New Year. ”
In any case, Li Dequan is relieved, his thoughts are the same as the emperor, not to mention the New Year, he will be content to pass the present first.
At this time, the emperor ordered to swing the car, and Li Dequan was busy running.
Mrs. Marhan thought all the way back to her house, and she decided that she should talk to her daughter first, no matter what.
