The weather is getting warmer, Yinzhen and his younger brother go to the depths of the garden, everywhere has seen the trees budding, a fresh and tender green hanging on the branches, if the sun and rain for a while, it is a lush and lush scene. I have to make people feel that time flies, Yinzhen still remembers the first time he brought his thirteenth brother to come, he was still a small person, but now he is tall and big, and those trees are beside him, but they seem smaller.

Walking on the road, the thirteenth elder brother asked: "Fourth brother, you said that you mentioned today to celebrate the prince's thirtieth birthday, why is the prince reluctant with a bitter face?" ”

Originally, Yinzhen was reluctant to mention these things to his younger brother, in his eyes, his younger brother was still a child, and he didn't want him to see too many unpredictable things, but Yuxi said that his younger brother even gave birth to a daughter, and he was not a child for a long time, and he was only recently willing to say these things to him, and he also wanted to say it to Yinyu, but that little wild horse still went his own way, and he would not be tamed and obedient by his side at all.

The thirteenth elder brother asked himself and replied: "Huang Ama is very low-key every birthday, and we will kowtow to receive a reward on the birthday festival, and the prince must also know this truth, so he is reluctant to hold a birthday banquet." Since everyone understands this kind of thing, why does Eighth Elder Brother have to provoke it, he has always been the most cautious, isn't he afraid that Huang Ama will resent him because of this. ”

Yin Zhen shook his head: "It may not be his idea, he will never do such a hateful thing, if someone else controls him, then there is only the eldest brother." It seems that they must have other plans, and at the moment we can't guess, so we can only wait and see, and you will be careful when you speak among your brothers in the future, you are not children anymore. ”

The thirteenth elder brother heard the last sentence and said with a smile: "Fourth brother, you finally believe that I have grown up?" ”

Yin Zhen said: "My little niece is so cute, my brother is so capable, can I still treat you as a child?" ”

Thirteen smiled, a little shy, he and fourteen were taught by his brother, but they were much more powerful than their brothers, marrying wives and concubines soon blossomed and bore fruit, and when the children grew up, they could run and jump, revolve around Eniang, and also relieved her children of the loss of growing up.

The brothers walked to the door of Ruijingxuan, but saw someone coming out inside, all the palace maids surrounded the gorgeously dressed women, and the thirteenth elder brother had sharp eyes and hurriedly said: "It's the good concubine." ”

The two retreated to the side of the road to stand, and Concubine Liang came out, and when she saw the brothers, she smiled and said: "No need to be polite, I watched you grow up, identity and status are just a matter of face, let's still be as easy-going as when we were children." ”

Yin Zhen said yes, or let Niangniang go first, Concubine Liang took people away, he and Thirteen turned into the door, Thirteen leaned in his brother's ear and asked: "I'm even more confused, the relationship between Concubine Liang and Eniang seems to be okay at all, but the palace is in a commotion, and I can't wait to skin and tear off Concubine Liang's bones." ”

"Be quiet." Yin Zhen reminded that after coming to his mother, all kinds of materials and embroidery threads were spread on the kang, as if he was choosing materials to make new clothes, and Eniang pointed to a few pieces of material and said, "This is to be given to you Fujin, just here, take it back by the way." Fourteen, where I will send someone back to the palace, the emperor is not in the palace, you should not go in and out casually. ”

The two saluted and thanked Eniang, but after saying a few words, Thirteen ran out by himself and talked to Huanchun outside, Lan Qi saw this posture, looked at her son again, and said with a smile: "Have something to say to Eniang?" ”

Yin Zhen nodded, Lan Qi packed up the things in her hand, raised her hand and motioned for her son to come and support her, stood up slowly, straightened her waist and said, "Your emperor Ama should be angry again when he sees me fiddling with these things, saying that he broke his eyes and sat for an hour or two without moving, don't tell him." ”

This is a very homely saying, said that Yinzhen relaxed a little, helped Eniang to turn around the house twice, helped her to open the window, and saw Yinxiang beating Huanchun's back, Huanchun was so anxious that he couldn't do it, Yinxiang dragged it to death, Lanqi was relieved: "This child is really good, if Concubine Min is still here, she should be even more blessed now." ”

When she mentioned it, she couldn't help but feel sad, Lan Qi hurriedly changed the topic and said with a smile: "When I first moved here, Yuxi came to see me and said that you were preoccupied, she said that she didn't want to force you too much, and she was afraid that you would feel that she was neglected and ignored, and she didn't know how to take care of it, Yuxi had this heart, even if she didn't do well, you shouldn't blame her casually." Yuxi is wholeheartedly devoted to you, but what about you? There is also the Li family's Song family, is the side Fujin going to be born? ”

Yin Zhen nodded: "It's about to give birth, Yuxi sent people to take good care of it, E-Niang doesn't have to worry." ”

Lan Qi was relieved, so she stepped forward and gently rubbed her son's cheek, and wondered: "What's the matter, this brow will not be loosened." ”

Yin Zhen pursed her lips and said, "Eniang, Emperor Ama has not sent me to do things recently, do you know?" ”

Lan Qi said: "You yourself are not active, if you would have gone to Huang Ama to reason with yourself in the past, but now you don't fight for yourself, there are so many brothers, there are always people to do those things, why do you have to pile it on you?" ”

Yin Zhen didn't dare to disagree, hung his head and said: "I don't know how to tell Huang Ama, even the matter of Uncle Dama has not given Huang Ama an explanation until now, the more it drags on, the more I can't get close to Uncle Ama's Mansion." And the matter of the eighth brother last time...... I always felt that I was getting more and more disappointed in him. ”

Lan Qi disagreed, "Disappointment is not enough, fortunately, you know where you are lacking." Of course, there are no absolutes, and you may not be wrong. ”

"Eniang, do you know that you are going to hold a birthday banquet for the prince?" Yin Zhen asked.

"I haven't heard of it, when did I mention it, I only prepare the memorial for the queen's death every year, and I have always interfered with the birthday of Yuqing Palace." Lan Qi and Concubine Liang selected the materials, and the matter at Qingxi Book House had just dispersed, and she hadn't had time to pass it on, so she didn't know if it was strange.

Yin Zhen told this matter one by one, and mentioned all kinds of things in the past, and mentioned the concern between the elder brothers now, his face was tense, and he said heavily: "Eniang, what are they doing, but I haven't done anything." ”

Lan Qi looked at her son's tangled expression distressedly, when she first got married, she could still hug her and hug her, but now she can't do such a move anymore, the tall man is standing in front of her, if she reaches out to hug him, her son should be frightened. Thinking about it, I couldn't help laughing, but was complained by Yinzhen, "What is E-Niang laughing at me?" ”

Lan Qi sat down on the side, motioned to his son to pour himself a bowl of tea, and waited for his throat to moisten, but still did not answer Fang Cai's words, but asked: "At the end of the year and the beginning of the year, which provinces and counties are the most serious, what is the extent of the disaster, and how many people are affected, do you know?" ”

Yin Zhen was stunned, he couldn't answer.

"Where was the most abundant last year, and what the weather will be like there this year, do you know?" Lan Qi looked at her son calmly, "How the climate will change after the beginning of spring this year, how to prevent and control the epidemic this year in several places where the epidemic broke out in the old year, have you studied it?" What kind of artillery muskets has the firearms battalion newly studied, have you ever seen it fresh? Huang Ama just took a few of us Niangniang the day before yesterday to see the fresh, the earth shook and the mountains shook, and Eniang's ears were about to be deafened. ”

Yinzhen became more and more embarrassed, and waited for his mother to ask him: "The Huanghuai River Basin should know about water control, right?" But as soon as he was about to answer, his mother said, "This is what you are doing with Huang Ama in the south, and if you can answer, E-Niang will not be surprised." But if you can answer those things first, E-Niang will admire you, and only then will I feel that my son is really proud. ”

"E-niang, I was negligent."

Lan Qi said gently: "It's too late to be negligent now, what are you doing as a courtier, you don't care about the country's livelihood and don't care about the people's livelihood, staring at other people's conspiracies?" Naturally, we often say that you can't have the heart to harm others, and you can't have the heart to prevent people, but you can't take this as a serious thing and put other serious things aside. You say what they are doing, whether it is calculating or making profits, that's someone else's business. You said that you didn't do anything, according to Eniang, you did it, and all you did was just stand aside and stare at them. ”

Yinzhen's face was flushed, and he couldn't say a word, his mother held his hand with both hands, and said with emotion: "My son's hand is as thick and wide as his Amma, warm like a hand stove, and I feel very relieved when I hold it in my hand." ”

"Eniang, I'm cocooning myself, I'm confused."

"Then break out of the cocoon and take a good look at the world." Lan Qi said, "Since you don't want to toss those things like them, then put your ambitions in the sky, and the errand may not be your turn, but you can't not know what is happening in this world." The country is so important, you can't finish learning in your lifetime, how can you have nothing to do? If Emperor Ama asks you about these things in the future, and you can answer them, he will be very relieved, nothing is heavier than the country, and in the eyes of your Emperor Ama, it has never changed. ”

Mother's words made Yinzhen enlightened, he recently became more and more unaware of his position among his brothers and in the court, as a prince, he couldn't compare to other brothers to make his father happy; As a courtier, he is not as comfortable as others in the courtiers, everyone used to revolve around him, but now if he wants to revolve around others, he can't do it.

Lan Qi said again: "Your emperor Ama often tells me, why can't our son deal with people, but he doesn't talk about it for a while, saying that he can't come in a hurry to deal with it." E-niang also thinks that forcing you to send to the ushering entertainment will not have any good results, so you can go according to your temperament and have your own style of acting. But you can't really be idle, pay more attention to the world's major events, and take a long-term view, and your horizons and mind will naturally be broadened. ”

The clouds on Yinzhen's face dissipated a lot, and her smile was free, and her eyes were full of reverence for Eniang, but she didn't know that her mother was not a great wisdom, but remembered what her husband said to her, nothing is more important than the country, they said okay, answer questions for their son, as long as they tell him that the country is important, it is enough.

At this time, Huanchun and the thirteenth elder brother came in with a joke, Huanchun begged Lan Qi not to ask the thirteenth elder brother to rub her shoulders and beat her back, and said seriously: "Qingxi Book House has sent a message that the prince's thirtieth birthday will be purchased in the palace, and we will return to the Forbidden City at the end of April." ”
