Sifu Jin said timidly: "Are you worried that in the future, if you ask the concubine to fight for the throne for the fifteenth elder brother, it will suppress other princes and hurt Yongzhen?" ”

Yonghui bowed his head: "You know in your heart my qualifications that the throne is hopeless, and I don't have the heart to think about it." Yongxuan can't either, I'm not worried about him, but Yongxuan is stronger than us when he is young, at his age, he can promise Concubine Ling to do these things, and I didn't even see anything before, what do you say he will do in the future? Ten or twenty years later, if there is a conflict of interest with Yongyan, how can Concubine Shu stand up for him, not only did he not have to fight, but he was also bruised all over his body. ”

"When the time comes, I'm afraid we won't be able to persuade Yongying." Sifu Jin said, "The eleventh brother has a very strong temperament. ”

"So...... I want to be an heir and no longer be a prince. The fourth elder brother said, "Let Concubine Ling understand that our brother has no intention of fighting with him, even if Yongzheng wants to fight in the future, my brother, who is not even a prince, can't help him at all, and the less opportunities Yongzheng has, the less he will be hurt in the future." I was incompetent, I couldn't fight for him, so I had to hide with him. ”

"It's not that you're incompetent." Sifujin said gently, "Everyone has strengths and weaknesses, what is wrong with us seeking a comfort, you can rest assured, no matter what your status, no matter where you go, I will accompany you, and the family will be safe." ”

Yonghui smiled bitterly: "Do you know, Eniang once said that the first emperor and Huang Ama are both four, and I am also the fourth son of the emperor, and it must be the order of the prince in the future, she wants to choose a woman who is enough to be the queen for me as a wife, she chose you, you are so good, but I can't give you a brilliant future." ”

Sifujin smiled: "I don't want any status and power, if I can be like the wife of Fucha Fu Hengren, I will be pampered by my husband for a lifetime, I will be satisfied." You men, always thinking about power and status, but you don't know what we women think, women all over the capital envy Fucha Fujin, don't you know. ”

Yonghui smiled and said, "What's so difficult about this, how can I let you down." ”

"I naturally understand your intentions, what are you going to do with what is in front of your eyes?" Sifujin asked, "Although the sixth elder brother was kicked out by the emperor, it doesn't mean that he will be thrown out, and the heir is not a trivial matter. But think long-term. ”

Yonghui said with some humility: "That's why I discussed with you, I thought, you will go to find out the wind for me." ”

Early the next morning, the fourth elder brother took the eleventh elder brother back to the Old Summer Palace, they were brothers, the eleventh elder brother occasionally went to his brother's house to play for a day, no one cared, Concubine Shu saw that the child was fine in the morning, so she asked him to go to the study. After breakfast, when the sun was thick, Concubine Shu planned to go for a walk in the garden with Hongyan, but Sifujin came, saying that the fourth elder brother took his younger brother back last night, I don't know if Niangniang is worried, and I came to explain today.

Concubine Shu smiled: "I'm not your mother-in-law, you come to respect me as a mother-in-law, why do you have to run in person for such a little thing, it's a cold day." ”

But Sifujin came with something, and after accompanying Concubine Shu for a long time, he found an opportunity to come to see Hongyan, and sure enough, he mentioned the matter of Concubine Xin, saying that it was inconvenient for the fourth elder brother to enter the inner palace, so let her come and give an explanation to Concubine Ling.

"The emperor knows all these things, so the fourth elder brother can't find out anything after that, the emperor does some work on the surface, and he won't really care about the fourth elder brother." Hongyan said to Sifujin, "I am sorry for you, I should be guilty, and the fourth elder brother and the eighth elder brother should also give an explanation to my mother." ”

Sifu Jin hurriedly said: "The dust of the past, the fourth elder brother is afraid that you and the emperor will misunderstand, he is not without giving Eniang an explanation, but he understands that the emperor is not easy, Eniang has passed away, and the son should be more considerate of the emperor." ”

Hongyan said with a smile: "The emperor also understands these intentions, go back and ask the fourth elder brother not to worry too much, the emperor loves you very much." ”

Unconsciously, Hongyan said these words on behalf of the emperor, she felt that it was inappropriate, and Sifujin also felt the weight of Concubine Ling, but if she didn't say this, was she perfunctory or pretending to be stupid at the moment? That's all it is, there's nothing left to hide.

Sifu Jin made up his mind and said: "The fourth elder brother said that Yongying's child has a high heart and a strong temperament, and he must teach more as an elder brother, and ask the concubine Niangniang to take care of it, if he does something wrong, tell us, and the fourth elder brother will definitely come to teach his younger brother a lesson." ”

Hongyan seemed to understand what the fourth elder brother and his wife wanted to convey, but those words couldn't be picked out, she said gently and politely: "Yongying is very good, you can rest assured, there is Concubine Shu Niangniang, you can't be wrong." ”

Sifujin said yes again and again, and at this moment, there was a word in front of him, saying that Wufujin had entered the garden, and Concubine Yu asked Sifujin to leave a meal, and the two of them went out together, and there was a companion on the way.

Hongyan said: "At this time, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are whispering, let's wait for the next time, there is a new material sent in today, you pick a few suitable pieces and take them back to your mother, which is the common intention of several mothers in our world." ”

Sifujin thanked again and again, and when the mother and children got together at lunchtime, they couldn't see anything at that time, but in the afternoon, when the children left, Concubine Yu came to the red house, and begged her: "Today, the fourth family is here, it's okay." Another day, you call Qingque in and ask again, I asked her anything, she said okay, I was panicked in my heart, she can really get along with Fang Fujin, Yongqi's child too, ask him to say anything. I'm really afraid that they will report good news and not bad news. ”

Hongyan said: "If it's really good, it's my sister who is worried, don't you understand your daughter-in-law, and don't Yongqi understand either?" ”

Concubine Yu shook her head and said, "When Yongyan grows up, you will understand, raising a daughter and raising a son is really different." ”

On the way back to the city, Sifujin and Qingque sat in the same carriage, because Sifujin had experience in childbirth, Qingque asked a lot about how to take care of their side Fujin. Seeing that she was so enthusiastic and serious, Sifu Jin told her everything he could say, but seeing that the carriage was about to arrive home, he didn't have a chance to say what he wanted to say.

"You go back with me to get a few things, I won't need them for the past two years, if you think I'm blessed, I'll give Fang Fujin an auspicious picture." Sifujin only left his younger siblings in this way, Qingque wanted to take care of the side Fujin mother and son for Yongqi, so he naturally followed, and when he entered the door, he saw the little ones of the fourth elder brother's family running all over the house, it seemed that Ama and his mother were not at home, and they refused to calm down and study, Sifujin reprimanded them: "When Ama comes back, I will collect your bones one by one, and they will be lawless." ”

Qingque stood aside and watched with envy, until Sifujin called her to come back to her senses, and Sifujin had other things on her mind, so she couldn't take care of her mood, ordered the maid to find something, pulled Qingque to roast and drink tea, deliberately retreated, and said to Qingque: "I have something I want to discuss with my sister, you know, I and the fourth elder brother can't go into the palace like you to ask Eniang to say goodbye, what can I discuss with Eniang, we have something to think about ourselves, when we can't figure it out, I feel really uncomfortable." ”

"Is the fourth sister-in-law in trouble?" Qingque pulled her mind back and said, "What can I do for my fourth sister-in-law?" ”

Sifu Jin was embarrassed and said: "Sister, I don't know whether I should discuss this matter with you, but I really don't have an idea." Sister, you know Prince Xu, right? ”

Qingque bowed his head and said: "It is the twelfth elder brother of Kangxi, who is nearly eighty years old, and Yongqi was also ordered to visit during the Double Ninth Festival." ”

Sifu Jin said: "Exactly, the eighty-year-old old prince." The princess's concubine, ninety-seven years old, their mother and son are long-lived people, but unfortunately, the old prince has a lot of children, but none of them have grown up, and the other palaces are very prosperous children and grandchildren, but the old prince is going to cut off the incense. ”

Qingque frowned slightly, and took the initiative to ask, "Fourth sister-in-law, what do you say?" ”

Sifujin smiled helplessly: "Your fourth brother said that he wants to send an heir to the prince's mansion and inherit the incense for the old prince." ”

Qingque froze, she knew about the sixth elder brother, although the royal family did it beautifully, but it was rumored in the palace that the sixth elder brother was driven away by the emperor, why was it the turn of the fourth elder brother here, and he took the initiative to leave?

"It's not unusual, but it's not necessarily a good thing." Sifujin was embarrassed and said, "Your fourth brother has such a temperament, and he can't pull back ten cows for what he has decided, so I can't persuade him." I don't care if I do it or not, I'm afraid that if it is self-defeating and angers the emperor, how can it be good? He also didn't want to discuss with his brothers, how is this, sister, can you talk to the fifth elder brother and let him persuade the fourth elder brother. ”

Qingque said: "It's not difficult, it's just ...... Has the fourth elder brother really decided? ”

Suddenly there was such a thing, Qingque had no intention of being sad at the moment that she couldn't give birth, this day Yongqi came back to see her worried, and thought it was unhappy with Fang Fujin, Qingque smiled bitterly: "E-Niang can't see and worry about us, you are with us every day, if my sister and I are playing, we are not tired." It's something else important, and you'll be shocked when you hear it. ”

Hearing that the fourth elder brother was going to have an heir to the prince's mansion, Yongqi was really surprised, but he was not a child anymore, so when he calmed down, he thought about the reason why the fourth elder brother did this, and he sighed: "What happened to the eldest brother and the third brother is a shadow that the fourth brother can't linger in his heart, and he always hangs on his lips, maybe he does this to give himself a relief." ”

"Yongqi, if the fourth elder brother leaves, will you be the emperor's eldest son?" Qingque asked, "How is it calculated?" ”

Yongqi smiled bitterly: "It can be counted like this, and it can't be counted like this, does it really matter whether the eldest son is the eldest son or not?" ”

Qingque is a smart person, after marrying Yongqi, she understands her responsibilities, her cousin is Sanfujin, she has been in the royal family for many years, and many things are clearly told to her, and at this moment she also asked Yongqi clearly: "Is it involved in the position of the prince, Yongqi, will it affect you if the fourth elder brother does this?" ”
