Chapter 55
Chapter 55 Yinxi
Today is still not very comfortable, so I only used some white porridge for dinner, and I bought a little dim sum, and the eighth elder brother sorted out the slightly messy books on the table, spread the paper, and Xiao Lin prepared pen and ink for him.
Seeing this, Xiao Lin hurriedly took a cloak and put it on his master, and said hurriedly: "Lord, you have just recovered from your illness, this window is wide open, and the wind outside is so cold, how can your body stand it, it is better to close the window." β
Yinxi only smiled, and a few little eunuchs hurriedly ran over to close the window, only to glance greedily at the spring scenery outside the window, and began to practice calligraphy.
This word, in order to please the emperor's father, from the time he could hold the pen, he had ten sheets a day, and after writing it, he took it to the long-lived lord to see, of course, praise is not less, but, maybe because he has a utilitarian heart, his handwriting has been written until now, of course, he can say a good word, but it is far less than the fourth brother who seems to have worked very little in this area. That is, I have seen through it in the past two years, and I still practice diligently, and I have grown a lot better than before.
Suddenly remembering something, Yin Xi raised his head and whispered: "I remember that before the fourth brother took a holiday, he only sent two good old ginseng trees?" Xiaolin, you choose one and send it to Eniang. β
Xiao Lin was stunned for a moment, and responded: "Don't worry, there is no shortage of good medicinal materials for Niangniang, and the fourth master and the master are also worried about it, and the two heads will send medicine to Niangniang once every three days." β
There is a lot of relief in these words, but Xiao Lin sighed in his heart, since forty-seven years later, the good concubine Niangniang treats the Lord lightly, even if the Lord goes to visit, he rarely sees him, the Lord understands in his heart that Niangniang is not disgusted with the Lord, but because of her lowly status, she is tired and sad, and since then, the Lord has become more concerned about Niangniang's food and clothing.
Last month, the lord was seriously ill, was sent all the way back to the capital from Changchun Garden, the result was delayed treatment, and he couldn't afford to be sick, Concubine Niangniang heard the news, and was so anxious that she fainted, almost bad, and the group of people in the hospital were used to watching people put down dishes, because Niangniang fell out of favor, the lord lost power, and he didn't care about Niangniang, if it wasn't for Prince Yong who came to see the lord at that time, heard the news, and lost his temper for this, Niangniang didn't know if he could get through it......
Xiao Lin pondered for a long time, and saw that the eighth elder brother had not changed his posture for more than an hour, and finally couldn't help but persuade him: "Lord, use some tea and snacks, rest, you are not well yet, but you can't stand such a toss." β
Yin Yu raised his eyebrows, remembering that he had practiced calligraphy now, and the imperial father also disdained to look at it, just smiled, then threw away his hand, and Xiao Lin ordered a group of little palace maids to come in and serve him to wash his hands.
After tossing, when the little palace maid retreated, Xiao Lin took a bowl of rock sugar blood swallow handed in from the hand of the maid outside, carefully held it to the eighth elder brother and said: "Lord, it's late, seeing that it's almost the time to go to bed, this bird's nest, the slave let them put not much sugar, the master can see that it is still smooth to drink, and the slave will let them change it again." β
Hearing this, Eighth Elder Brother waved his hand gently and stopped: "That's it, my mouth is not so tricky, there is no need to toss." It's not too early, so you and they will go down and rest. β
Xiao Lin has always known the temper of his master, and he did not shirk, knowing that the master was going to live in the study again today, so he only arranged a few little eunuchs and little maids to wait outside, and someone went to inform Fu Jin, so he cautiously retreated and closed the door of the study for his master.
Yinxi moved his wrist, then took a sip of bird's nest, with a little osmanthus fragrance, in fact, it is not suitable for his own taste, but it is Eniang's favorite.
E-Niang likes osmanthus, and has said several times that osmanthus can cure all diseases, nourish the spirit, and color, hire a general envoy for all medicines, and take a long time to be light and not old, and the face is bright, and the charm is often like a child.
Yin Xi listened, for a while I thought that Eniang could be born so beautiful, it is the credit of this osmanthus, so he ordered people to plant more osmanthus trees in their own yards, and from time to time at home to make osmanthus cakes, make osmanthus tea, fill purses with osmanthus flowers, but also collect and make a lot of dried flowers of osmanthus, send them to Eniang, as a result, people think that their own master likes osmanthus, since then, the women in the house, including Fujin, as long as they send him food, more with a bit of osmanthus taste, Yinxi does not care, anyway, he has never been picky about eating and drinking, Let them go.
Smelling the fragrance of osmanthus flowers, Yinxi soothed his body, stretched out his hand to support his head, and couldn't help but start thinking of his Eniang, who had suffered for a lifetime and had been an invisible person for a generation.
From the time when Yinxi was just sensible, he knew in his heart that he was not the biological son of the current mother Concubine Hui, unlike other elder brothers, his biological mother was the most beautiful woman who lived in the courtyard of Concubine Hui, the smallest and most dilapidated courtyard.
Of course, these are not because of the contempt of those palace maids and eunuchs for his identity as a mother, and the ridicule of other brothers has always been clearly on his face, and because the imperial father has never given him a straight eye even if he comes to Concubine Hui, Yinxi sighed, perhaps, from that time on, he was vaguely looking forward to the day when he could get ahead, and all the people who once despised him were pressed underneath, so that they knew that Aixinjue Luo Yinxu could also stand in the clouds.
In fact, although he is not Concubine Hui's biological son, Concubine Hui is really good to him on the face, he has never been deducted from eating, drinking and wearing, as for those palace maids and eunuchs who quietly swallowed it, he was very wronged, and it is not to blame Concubine Hui. In those years, because her mother's favor was the most prosperous, although she didn't even have a name in the palace, but the palace maids and eunuchs served her carefully.
It's a pity that when he left Concubine Hui's palace and moved to the elder brother's office, he realized that he was still too naΓ―ve, in this most noble palace in the world, in fact, anything can happen.
In the summer, I can't even drink ice water, on a cold day, there is no charcoal fire supply in the house, after Eniang knows, she just silently saves her own share to the child, but she doesn't dare to say a word, once, Yinxi finally couldn't help it, yelled and scolded those snub palace maids and eunuchs, at that time those people knelt down to plead guilty, but after that, Yinxi's food surface is exquisite, but it always has a strange smell, the fabric used, the ornaments worn, all are bright outside, It's terrible on the inside.
After Concubine Liang knew, she was scared for several days and nightmares, and told her with red eyes, don't offend people because of a momentary anger, he is still young now, if those palace maids and eunuchs in the palace hold a grudge against him, then I don't know what will happen, now it is like this, it's okay, if you meet a black-hearted person, if you want to spoil the life of a brother who is not valued and young, it is not all impossible, and there are fewer brothers who died in this palace?
Knocking on his head, sorting out his chaotic thoughts, Yinxi hooked the corners of his lips, and sure enough, like looking at people's eyes, intrigues, and ambitions, they were all forced out, and they wanted to compete for the supreme position, in fact, it was not to live, to live well, for themselves and Eniang not to be bullied.
What's wrong with that? Isn't that normal? He is also surnamed Aixin Jueluo, and he is also the son of Long Live Lord, and he is also the grandson of the dragon and phoenix, can't he be ambitious?
He reads poetry and books hard every day, is skilled in bows and horses, and reins in his temper to the slightest, even in the face of people with lower status than him, he never takes Qiao, up to the imperial father, to the brother, down to a small official in the capital, he is all pleased, he works hard to run errands, strives to show his meritocracy in front of Long live, and strives to win over the ministers...... However, in the end, everything still hasn't changed, and the emperor's comment that 'he was born of a slut from Xinzhiku' completely ruined all his efforts and all his will to live......
It's not that he doesn't resent, it's not that he doesn't be jealous, for a while, he even wanted to break the can, even if he couldn't sit in that position, he would bring a little trouble to Kangxi and Xinjun, anyway, he had nothing to lose.
However, after being sick and disheartened last year, he thought a lot, that day, he fell asleep groggily, and heard the fourth brother come to see him, sat next to his sickbed, and lost his temper at the imperial doctors in a cold voice, and he didn't know why, although he knew that Prince Yong was now extremely powerful, for him, he was actually an opponent who could not be ignored in the battle for succession, and he knew that the fourth brother's current actions were very likely to be for the Lord of Long Live and for the Minister of the Manchu Dynasty, but his heart was still quiet, and he felt a trace of warmth.
After getting better, he only smiled bitterly, at least, he was not a failure, among the brothers, the old ten, and the fourth brother have come to see him, no matter how much sincerity, but it can be regarded as worried about him, and more fortunately, Eniang after a serious illness, her heart seems to be let go a lot, not as cautious as before, although the body is still very weak, but listening to the meaning of the doctors, there is a little possibility of recovery.
Yinxi turned off the light, fell on the soft couch in the study, closed his eyes, meditated, anyway, he fought and grabbed, and he tried hard, since God didn't give him a chance, then he would be safe and stable, and the new emperor would ascend the throne in the future, if he could take Eniang out and do his filial piety, it would be regarded as this generation, and he did not live in vain.
