Seeing Yinxi coming towards him, the third elder brother said: "You can talk, but don't blame me for not ...... the fourth" But halfway through the words, Yinxi was already in front of him, and the third elder brother laughed perfunctorily, and walked to his own carriage.

Yin Zhen said: "It's late, my brother and sister are still waiting for you at home, it's better to talk while walking." ”

The brothers' mansion is in a direction, the eighth elder brother is farther away, it is inevitable to change the trouble of changing cars up and down, Yinzhen took his younger brother's carriage all the way to the house, the eighth elder brother said that he was going to Gubeikou before the end of the year, for the emperor Ama to treat the soldiers there, the fourteenth brother has always said that he wants to go with him, Yinzhen feels that although it is not difficult to ask the emperor Ama for instructions, but he is not good at making up his mind, and he has to ask the meaning of Concubine De. So at this time, I will talk to the fourth brother and ask him to go back to the palace and ask for instructions.

Eighth elder brother said: "The fourteenth brother has been urging me to go with him to ask Concubine De for instructions, fourth brother, you know, if I go, Niangniang looks at my face, and I should be happy if I am not happy, which will make Niangniang embarrassed." It's better to go to the fourth brother, you don't have to scruple about you if you are happy or not, don't trouble your mother, the fourteenth brother is still young after all, if I take him, I will be nervous, but I can't bear to go against his wishes. ”

Yinzhen thought it was something important, although everyone else stared at it, and felt that the fourteenth elder brother and the eighth elder brother were close, but they were not in harmony with the brother of the same mother, but Yinzhen himself was measured, so he didn't care about the close contact between his younger brother and the eighth brother, and he had already nodded and agreed at this time, only joking: "It's a wild horse and a bison, take him out, you have to pay attention." ”

While talking, I saw that the interior of the eighth brother's carriage was very exquisite, and when he got on the car, he saw that the horses of the carriage were strong, and the family was generally reluctant to use a good horse to pull the carriage, and the cost of raising a few horses in the house was more than raising a few slaves.

The carriage and horses traveled to the front of the Sibeile Mansion, the eighth elder brother sent his brother off the car, Yinzhen asked him to go first, so he stood in front of the door to watch the carriage and horses go away on the long street, the sound of horses' hooves, Yinzhen smiled for some reason, but he also felt strange, he was not early and tired, and he returned to the house early.

The next day, for the aftermath of the emperor's eldest grandson, the atmosphere was gloomy and heavy, Yuxi took the side Fujin into the palace to mourn, and came out of Yuqing Palace to Yonghe Palace to greet Eniang, saying that he was afraid that the children would be rude and rude, so he did not bring Honghui to them.

Lan Qi didn't care, and stayed up late last night and was not in good spirits today, and asked them to kneel down after a few words, Yuxi said: "After Yinzhen talks about the Qianqing Palace, I want to go into the palace again to ask you for peace, probably to have lunch with Eniang, he turned back home in the middle of the middle, if Eniang is tired and doesn't want him to bother, Erchen will bring him a message." ”

"He has something to talk to me about, and we made an agreement last night." Lan Qi responded lazily, and then sent her daughter-in-law, hugged the stove and crooked on the kang, rolled up a book of words and glanced at it a few times, and fell into a dream unconsciously.

At first, it was fine, but suddenly the stars moved back to the young time in the dream, approaching the messy Chengqian Palace, like when Concubine Wen Guifei was drugged to blame Concubine Tong, a child ran to point at her and kept crying, Lan Qi remembered that it was the prince's appearance when he was a child, she looked down along the prince's fingers, she was actually pot-bellied, and she was shocked and woke up from the dream. I vaguely felt that something was wrong in my heart, but it was just a dream, and I blamed myself for not falling asleep looking at the book, and the dream was messed up.

However, the nightmare makes people tired, Lan Qi's spirit is not as good as before falling asleep, her brain is swollen and painful, calling someone to ask for tea to eat, but a man comes in outside, only to see Yinzhen pour a cup of tea warm in the cage from the table to Eniang, Lan Qi drank half a bowl, and couldn't help asking: "Yuxi just left, it's not that you have to wait until lunch." ”

Yin Zhen smiled: "It's already past lunchtime, is E-Niang hungry?" ”

Lan Qi looked out the window, she had slept for so long, she only slept through midnight last night, and now her spirit is really not as good as before. Holding his son's hand, Yinzhen was afraid that Eniang would get up cold, so he took clothes to cover her, Lan Qi saw that he was so considerate and very stable, and asked him if he had eaten, Yinzhen said that Huanchun asked him to use it first.

The mother and son sat down in the dining room, the palace maids rearranged the dining table, Yinzhen wanted to serve soup to her mother with her own hands, Lan Qi ordered everyone else to go down, and said, "I will talk to the fourth elder brother alone for a while." ”

Lan Qi drank the soup, and her son handed over a box, in which there were silver tickets of various denominations, Yin Zhen frowned and said, "It's all here, there is a list at the bottom, does E-Niang want her son to read it to you?" ”

"No need, I'll see for myself when I get back." Lan Qi said, but said, "It's the matter of the emperor's eldest grandson, Eniang may not be able to talk to you Ama these days, and I will naturally have something to say when I see him, don't worry." ”

Yin Zhen didn't dare to be in a hurry, now he passed on this burden to his mother, his heart was much more relaxed, in fact, this matter always involved other brothers, he felt that he felt that he would face his father in person, it was better to go around from his mother, his father was angry, the two had a discussion, and it would not force Huang Ama to harm the other brothers in a fit of anger, but called him a troublemaker.

Later, when it came to the fact that the fourteenth elder brother was going to follow the eighth elder brother to Gubeikou, Lan Qi was obviously not happy that his youngest son was too close to the eighth elder brother, but Yinzhen advised: "The opportunity is rare, it is Yinyu's turn to grow up to do this, and there are still several years, let him experience since he was a child, and with this momentum in him, Huang Ama will definitely let him lead the troops in the future." ”

Lan Qi sighed: "The world is peaceful, what do you want soldiers and horses to do?" But he immediately smiled, "It's not that E-Niang is short-sighted, E-Niang knows the importance of soldiers and horses, and she is looking forward to peace and war." "As for Yinzhen's matter, since Yinzhen has opened her mouth to ask for her brother, she has agreed, and it is good for them to ask the emperor to agree.

It's just that the mother and son didn't expect that when the emperor's eldest grandson died three days later, when their brothers mentioned in front of the emperor that they wanted to take the fourteenth to Gubeikou, the emperor said another thing to the elder brothers, Babeile Yinxi handed over all the bribes received from officials from all over the country to the treasury, saying that the money must be the people's fat and people's ointment looted by those people, and it must be used back to the people.

However, the investigation of greed is afraid of affecting the whole body, now that the year is approaching, it is not appropriate to surprise the people of all parties to live uneasy, and it is not too late to investigate slowly after the year, the emperor in front of the elder brothers, asked for this matter to Yinxi, and told the sons more seriously: "I know that you have more or less some progress, walking in the court, sometimes it is inevitable that you can't help yourself, and I can ignore the small fights, but if it is also like this, thousands of people take the silver in the treasury, and take the hard-earned money of the people to do favors, I will not tolerate it, and I will weigh it myself." ”

The emperor's words were a little more lenient than before, but at that time, he was dead, but now he let the brothers weigh it themselves, in other words, if they think it doesn't matter, will they all be in the bag? Naturally, my father couldn't believe what he said, he didn't care, he didn't care about emptying the treasury, he wanted to care, and it was a capital crime to take an extra copper plate.

The elder brothers were secretive to each other, and when Yin Zhen thought of conveying this matter to his father, in comparison, the eighth elder brother seemed more frank and unrestrained, and he felt very uncomfortable. But now, if he reports to the eighth elder brother, he will obviously be looked down upon by other brothers, but he will be even more shameless, and if he goes to take back this matter from Eniang, Eniang will be embarrassed and worried about himself, which is already a dilemma.

And Yinzhen and Yinzhen will have such a move, obviously because the movement of filial piety in various places is too big for a while, and they all faintly hear the rumors, knowing that the Qianqing Palace has heard about it, in fact, everyone is holding their breath and doesn't know what to do, and everyone thinks that since everyone has it, it is impossible for Huang Ama to kill everyone with a stick, and the so-called law does not blame the public, at most he will be reprimanded behind closed doors in the Qianqing Palace.

Yinzhen was careful and wanted to ask his mother to solve this matter, but he didn't expect Yinzhen to be bolder and report it himself, and he claimed that he had been reused by Ama in recent years, and he was about to go out in the imperial court, and he had more contact with those local officials than his brothers, so there would be so much input. The words reduced the burden on the other brothers, and he was even more in a posture that he was at fault and everyone else was wrong, obviously unwilling to make enemies among the brothers.

And at this time, no one will follow the trend and hand over their bribes, and the emperor doesn't care, then this matter is equivalent to turning it over. There are tens of thousands of taels of silver in the treasury, and the eighth elder brother went to Gubeikou for a walk, and his condolences to the soldiers are much more generous. In any case, this time Huang Ama will never pursue it.

When everyone dispersed, the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother seemed to not understand the eighth elder brother's behavior, and they all frowned and talked to him, but the eldest elder brother walked over and patted his younger brother's shoulder and laughed: "If there is anything that can't be opened at the end of the year, come to the eldest brother's mansion, or go back, I will ask your sister-in-law to pack a few hundred taels of silver and send it to you." ”

Yin Xi smiled a few words, some words were not clear, and everyone understood it. After that, the emperor even told the ministers that the eight princes were honest, urging them not to use their brains against the prince, and not only because the eighth elder brother rewarded the concubine, but even the good concubines were rewarded, the more so, the more the fourth elder brother covered the silver in the Yonghe Palace, but the more he couldn't take it.

The fourth elder brother didn't dare to see his mother at this time, for fear of putting some pressure on her, but Lan Qi didn't care. After the funeral of the emperor's eldest grandson, Xuan Ye sealed it, as said before, he moved to Yonghe Palace to live, and on the first day of coming, when he got up from a nap and lazily talked to her, Lan Qi put the things that his son sent in front of him and asked: "If the emperor came earlier, can the concubines be rewarded like Concubine Hui and good concubines?" ”
