Chapter 124: The so-called golden mean
In the Forbidden City, after Yinzhen came out of the Qianqing Palace, he was led by the inner servant and came to Ningshou Palace to ask the Queen Mother for peace.
Knowing that her son entered the palace, Concubine De came to the queen mother's side early to wait, so after the grandfather and grandson said goodbye, she sent her son out of the palace by the way, so as not to make him work hard in Yonghe Palace, and only hoped that Yinzhen would go back to rest earlier.
At this hour, the study has not yet dispersed, Yinzhen only saw the two younger sisters, Wen Xian and Xiao Chen'er knew that the elder brother had worked hard for days, and had greeted them obediently, so they retreated first, as for the sister-in-law who promised to let the fourth brother take them to play, it had to be discussed privately by the brothers and sisters.
On the quiet palace road, the mother and son walked slowly, even if they couldn't speak loudly, but when they talked about what they had seen and heard these days, Yinzhen still couldn't stop excitedly, and it could be said that they had gained a lot.
Halfway down, a little eunuch chased after her, Concubine De heard the footsteps, naturally looked back, and saw that the little eunuch handed a bag of things to Xiao Hezi.
"Is it medicine?"
"Yes, my son has no appetite these days, so I asked the hospital for some appetizers."
Concubine De looked at her son worriedly: "The complexion is not good, the chin is pointed, go back early, if there is no summons in the palace these days, I will rest at home, so that I can give birth and raise myself." ”
Yin Zhen said with a smile: "Uncle Huang and Brother Huang are hard, and the soldiers of Jiumen patrol day and night are even harder, if I work hard and hide at home to rest, it should be a joke." ”
Concubine De suddenly became serious and said, "The people who want to laugh at you, even if they are fine, they can arrange something for you, do you care about them?" It's my order, don't leave the Brother's Mansion for the next two days, and on the third day, I will send Huanchun to see you, if you still look bad, or hear that you stay up late to read, you don't want to be an errand again. ”
"Eniang, my son is wrong, don't be angry." Yin Zhen hurriedly said, "Let's go home and rest, eat well, and sleep well." ”
Concubine De didn't want to blame her son, but she couldn't help but remind him, motioned for her son to move on, and then said: "Even if you are not tired, you shouldn't show it, if you are strong and competitive everywhere, you will become the target of others." Remember, Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, don't say that you are still young now, that is, ten or twenty years later, if you want to gain a foothold in the court and make a difference to the people of the world, you must collect some, hide your hole cards and skills, and show them at critical moments. ”
Yinzhen could understand his mother's words, but he had doubts in his heart and asked: "If everyone thinks that his son is incompetent and can't afford to endure hardship, and many lies become true, when his son wants to fight for something, who can still believe me and look up to me, what should I do?" ”
"The so-called golden mean, how can E-Niang make you understand in a few words, E-Niang herself can't fully understand it." Concubine De was no longer so serious, and said gently, "Read more, go out more to gain knowledge, and deal with all kinds of people, and one day you will understand." ”
Yinzhen thought about it for a while, and said: "E-Niang, don't worry, my son must have a good rest at home for two or three days, and if Huang Ama doesn't summon him, my son won't go out." ”
Concubine De smiled: "E-niang wants you to study more, don't worry about these days, accompany Yuxi more, she guards your home for you, just as hard." ”
Yin Zhen unconsciously glanced at Xiao Hezi, the medicine in Xiao Hezi's hand was not an appetizer, but a headache, and he sent someone to the Tai Hospital when he entered the palace.
Concubine De noticed her son's emotions and remained silent until she sent her son out of the Shenwu Gate and returned with the palace people, then she instructed Huanchun to investigate.
Sure enough, it was the fourth elder brother who asked the hospital for medicine for a headache, and explained that it was for female dependents, and the prescription should be gentle.
In the warm pavilion of Yonghe Palace, after Huanchun said this, he said worriedly: "It seems that Sifujin is not happy, and it must be that he is tired of taking care of his family these days." ”
Concubine De said: "Since you don't report it, don't ask again, the children are older, they have ideas." ”
