Chapter 48: The First Taste of Sorrow (2)

I don't know if it's the so-called "blessing is incomparable, disaster is not a single line", not many days after the death of the empress dowager, Kangxi received a report that the sixth son of the emperor Yinzuo had pox, was violently ill, and the high fever did not go away. Reading a book// Although this son was sick at the beginning of his birth, he has not been very popular with Kangxi, but after all, he licks calves deeply, Kangxi himself has smallpox, knows the sinister nature of this disease, and Emperor Shizu also died young because of this disease, Kangxi had to cheer up 120,000 points. In order to prevent other imperial brothers from being infected, Kangxi had to immediately order Yinzuo to be moved to a house on the outskirts of Beijing, and ordered other elder brothers not to leave their residences without permission to avoid pox, and he went to visit and take care of him every day.

Unexpectedly, a few days later, the bad news still came, and Yinzuo still didn't carry it. Although Yinzhen has no friendship with Yinzuo, he is also embarrassed, these emperors who look glamorous on the surface are still as weak in the face of death. Kangxi was even more hit by a double blow, and he couldn't help but feel haggard physically and mentally, and his old age suddenly appeared. And at this moment, when the news reported that Wu Yashi had given birth to an elder brother, Kangxi actually saw that the report just coldly said 'I know' and ignored it. Yinzhen said in his heart: This son is only afraid of a bad fate in the future, with the current mood of Kangxi, I am afraid that he has blamed the loss of his grandmother and the pain of Yinzuo on the head of this newborn elder brother, and this kind of coldness is only fatal to the prince, because the glory and favor of the prince are completely between the emperor's sacred heart and the silent year. Yin Zhen himself didn't know how to deal with this situation, so he could only silently wish the fourteenth-ranked 'half-brother' good luck. Reading//

And Yinzhen himself has a lot of troubles, and the brunt of it is the relationship with the eighth elder brother. The eighth elder brother had also entered school at this time, although he often met with Yinzhen, but when he saw Yinzhen, he either quickly found a reason to avoid, or was plain, as if he had brought a mask. Yin Zhen was quite puzzled in her heart, Concubine Tong and herself were very dedicated to their mother and son, not only did they often take care of them, but they would also use their own money to make up for the mother and son, Tong Guifei also spoke in front of Kangxi, saying that the eighth elder brother is getting older and older, and he can't always be just a palace person, and he doesn't look good when he goes to school, and he always follows Concubine Hui to make things happen, the so-called mother and son are connected. finally moved Kangxi and sealed the Wei family as a good concubine. When Yinzhen went to Wei's place to say goodbye, Wei's was overjoyed and thanked him again and again, but when he looked at the eighth elder brother, he was unhappy, and called "Fourth Brother" and sat on the side, saying nothing. Wei Shixiang was also afraid of his son, and he didn't dare to say anything, but he just looked at Yinzhen with a guilty face, and apologized vigorously: "Fourth elder brother, I'm sorry, the eighth elder brother is still young, he doesn't know anything, and he doesn't know how to be polite, don't blame him." Yinzhen was very embarrassed, and said: "Mother, don't say that, my own brother, it's you, and the emperor also said that it is right to treat you as a sister." Speaking of this, I saw that the eighth elder brother showed a little anger on his face. Although Yinzhen didn't understand why Yinci seemed to have some knots in his heart, it was inconvenient to ask, so he could only chat a little and leave hastily.

When he was studying in the south study, in the end, the status of the eighth elder brother's mother was not high, and the so-called son was more precious than the mother, and the eighth elder brother's situation was not as good as that of other elder brothers. When other elder brothers make mistakes, the master will not punish them, but the eighth elder brother is often to blame, and it is commonplace to be punished and punished. On this day, Chenda, who teaches Mongolian, examined the homework of the princes, and it was obvious that the fifth elder brother did not prepare his homework and could not answer the question, but the fifth elder brother's mother was a concubine and had a high reputation, so Chenda used the excuse that the fifth elder brother was in poor health, and Leng wanted to punish the eighth elder brother for kneeling. Yinzhen interceded, but Yinci did not appreciate it, sneered, turned around and walked out of the study, kneeling in the sun, it was early summer, the sun was scorching, and there were no shading trees in the palace.

Yinzhen really couldn't bear it, and when he was in Xiaoqi, he walked to the eighth elder brother's side, and asked: "Eighth brother, do you want the fourth brother to go and talk to Chenda and get rid of this punishment?" I don't want the eighth elder brother to twist his head, and said coldly: "Yinci doesn't dare to work for the fourth brother's drive." ”

Yin Zhen frowned and asked, "Eighth brother, did I do something to make the eighth brother dissatisfied, or did you have any misunderstanding about the fourth brother?"

Yinci just shook his head, forced to be anxious, and said: "Just assume that Yinci doesn't know what to do." ”

Yin Zhen was puzzled and said, "What do you mean, brothers, what can't you say in person?"

Yinci suddenly became excited when he heard this, and said loudly: "Brother, yes, I am also the son of Huang Ama, but, the same father does not have the same fate, the fourth brother, you have the emperor's mother, and the Tong family is supported behind, you are still subject to Viscount Bei, but look at me, usually the internal affairs government ignores my mother at all, she even has to be careful with those eunuchs to call a charcoal basin in winter, and she can't even reward people for the New Year's Festival, and she has to rely on the help of the fourth brother and Tong Guifei." Fourth brother, do you know, brother, what do I usually say by those eunuchs? I don't know where I came from, the wild seed is definitely not the flesh and blood of Huang Ama, and it is the poorest and sourest, and it is not interesting to follow. Fourth brother, Yinci knows that you are good to me and me, but the more you treat me, the more I feel that I can't hold my head up!"

Yin Zhen was taken aback when he heard this, he never thought that he originally had the intention of winning over the eighth elder brother, thinking that "things are done by people" so that they were particularly concerned about their mother and son, and took special care of everything, he just didn't want this younger brother to still become his political enemy like history in the so-called future. Unexpectedly, it seemed to be a bit self-defeating, and this eight-year-old brother would actually think so much in his heart, which shocked Yinzhen.

However, this is in response to an old saying, "A liter of rice makes a friend, and a load of rice raises an enemy." Yin Zhenxin said that it seems that he is going to adjust his strategy towards the eighth elder brother.

On another level, Concubine Tong's matter is also one of the barriers in Yinzhen's current heart. Kangxi is in the harem, although the most favored person may not be the Tong family, but the most respected person must be her. He didn't understand why, although Kangxi wanted Concubine Tong to take the responsibility of leading the six palaces, he was reluctant to canonize her as the queen. Although he is not born to the Tong family, he has seen very clearly in the past twelve years that Concubine Tong treats him honestly, so he is quite unworthy of Concubine Tong.
