Chapter 347: Fourth Brother, Why Is It So Hard For Me

Thinking about it, Yuxi has never particularly cared about it, these nobles in Beijing are sophisticated, and they actually learned it unconsciously when they gossip with their aunts or other elders.

And my aunt is right, there are no such elders around Eighth Elder Brother and Eighth Fujin, the former Baoyun, and now the pearl girl, can only survive in the palace, and it is difficult to help with things outside.

No wonder Yinzhen is confused, such an not easy couple, the eighth elder brother can still swim against the current and compare the well-qualified brothers, what qualifications does he have to be jealous.

But after this day, there was no gossip about the Beatitudes, and it was soon the day before the imperial court seal.

Because of the heavy snowfall overnight, the Forbidden City was covered in silver, and the palace people did not have time to sweep the snow, so they walked through the snowy palace road on foot, and there was a creaking sound, and the eighth elder brother stopped outside the gate of Yanxi Palace, and saw Xianghe come out.

"Why is there no one to sweep the snow in front ......of this door," Xianghe said distressedly, "Eighth Brother, it's not easy to walk on the road, why didn't Fujin come?"

"If she enters the palace, she must go to Changchun Palace to ask for peace, and Concubine Hui should toss her again. At the moment, the Queen Mother is not in the palace, no one can stop her, more things are better than less, and when the imperial grandmother returns to the palace, I will bring her to ask Eniang for peace."

Xianghe nodded repeatedly: "Yes, can't we hide if we can't be provoked."

Yin Yu asked, "Are you feeling better?"

Xianghe said embarrassedly: "Let the eighth elder brother worry, the slave is fine, look at you and Fujin are good, the slave and the maid will not worry about anything."

As he spoke, he walked into Yanxi Palace, and just happened to meet Min Changzai who was going out with the palace maid, and exchanged a few words of greeting to each other kindly, and Min Changzai left.

Xianghe said, "Concubine Duan Niangniang has needlework to do, and Min is often going to help."

Yin Yu asked, "Didn't you invite E-Niang?"

Xianghe said frankly: "Eighth elder brother, don't blame the other ladies for being cold to the nobles, I have invited this kind of thing several times, and after being rejected every time, who is willing to invite them."

"Anyway, E-Niang has always loved to be quiet."

"That's what I said......

Without waiting for Xianghe to finish speaking, Yinxi had already arrived at her mother's door, the little palace maid opened the curtain, Yinxi made up her mind, took the brocade-wrapped burden from the little eunuch who was with her, and entered the door alone.

The noble Juezen was writing on the warm kang, and when he knew that Yinxi was coming, he didn't raise his head and said, "Eighth Elder Brother sit down."

After bowing, Yinxi placed the package on the table, gently untied the books inside, and said, "This is the book selected for Eniang, the new poetry collection of several poets in Jiangnan and the drama book in the market."

Juezen nobleman said: "Eighth elder brother has a heart, but I don't read the poems of today's people, I will leave the script, and please give this poetry collection to others."

Yinxi unconsciously looked back at the bookshelf behind him, then looked at the books he brought, and reluctantly agreed, "Yes, take it back when my son leaves."

"Eighth elder brother has been doing well recently, I heard that you are showing your strength in the Ministry of Industry, and the emperor has praised you several times in front of civil and military officials." The noble man put down his pen, raised his hand and motioned for Yinxi to sit down opposite, and poured a bowl of tea for him.

Yin Xi was happy for a while, sat down and said, "It's just a little thing, and the emperor Ama is just elevating his sons."

The noble man picked up the books and asked, "Is it okay to send this idle book to the palace?"

Thinking that her mother was thinking about herself, Yinxi was overjoyed again, and said with a smile: "Huang Ama sent the opera troupe to the palace to relieve the boredom of the Queen Mother, and these are the few plays that are sung, the most fashionable drama in the capital this winter, don't worry."

The noble man put down the script and smiled gently, "Thank you."

The mother's smile made Yinxi uncontrollably excited, no matter what, this was almost the closest time between their mother and son for many years.

"E-niang, you don't have to be polite to your son."

"I still have to remind Eighth Elder Brother that Concubine Hui is your mother."

"Yes......"

"Eighth elder brother is free in the future, if you want to come and sit and talk, just come." The noble Juezen said, "Yanxi Palace does not have a lordship, there is no need to inform anyone, it is not easy for the Eight Blessings to enter the palace, and it is not difficult for you to come from the previous dynasty."

Yinxi couldn't believe his ears, he was stunned for a while, and asked cautiously, "What does E-Niang mean that my son can often come to visit you in the future?"

The noble man smiled faintly: "If the eighth elder brother is willing."

Yin Yu nodded again and again: "Yes, of course I am willing."

At this time, Xianghe came in the door, and she had been standing behind the curtain for a long time, listening to the words of the mother and son, not to mention how happy she was. But for fear that the nobleman's face would be thin-skinned, he didn't dare to show his face, put down the melons, fruits and snacks, and quietly retreated.

Juezen noble: "My money is limited, this tea and melon fruit are all rewarded by the ladies of the palace, if you don't dislike it, warm your body with some."

How could Yinxi be disgusted with his mother's gift, drank tea and said, "In the future, my son will be filial to my mother, what do you want, just tell your son to do it."

The noble man smiled without saying a word, picked a piece of pastry and put it in front of Yinxi, and just looked at him quietly.

It's rare to have such a warm time, Yinxi's stomach is full of words, I don't know where to start, I picked some of my own court affairs and told my mother, and before I knew it, this sitting was an hour.

Even if it is the biological mother and son, Yinxi, the prince who has become a family, should not stay in the palace for so long, although he is reluctant, but this is the first time that the eighth elder brother has left Yanxi Palace happily, not only is he happy, but he has hope for the future for a while.

When I went out again, the snow outside the Yanxi Palace had been swept away, Yinxi said goodbye to Xianghe, and Xianghe was so excited that he almost cried because the nobleman finally figured it out, but was comforted by the eighth elder brother.

However, Yinxi turned around, and saw the people of Changchun Palace walking towards him, with the usual indifference and contempt on his face, and seemed to have the resentment that had been frozen for a long time, and said coldly when he came to him: "Eighth Elder Brother, Niangniang, please come to Changchun Palace to see you."

"Eighth Elder Brother ......" Xianghe was very worried.

"It's okay, you can go back first." Yin Yu said calmly, "Serve the good mother, on the day the Queen Mother returns to the palace, Bafujin and I will come again to ask for peace."

Watching the eighth elder brother go away, Xianghe was very uneasy, and then he didn't care about anything else, and kept staring at the movement of Changchun Palace, until half an hour later, he heard that the eighth elder brother had returned to the front court.

She finally breathed a sigh of relief, and when she returned to her master, the noble Juezen was flipping through the script sent by Yinxi, and when she looked up and saw Xianghe's face, she asked, "What's wrong?"

Xianghe said aggrievedly: "As soon as the eighth elder brother went out, he was taken away by Changchun Palace, and he left at this time."

The noble Juezen said lightly, "Eighth Elder Brother came to see me, but he didn't go to Changchun Palace to ask for peace, Concubine Hui is not happy."

Xianghe hated and said: "It must be like this, our eighth elder brother is too difficult, the slave always thinks that if you can ask Concubine De Niangniang to make a statement to the emperor, but whenever the emperor says a word, you want the eighth elder brother to honor you like that, Concubine Hui Niangniang will no longer be able to bully others."

"Everything bothers Concubine De, how big is our face?"

"Isn't there no way?"

The noble man put down the script and said, "Take my fox coat, I'm going out."

Xianghe's eyes lit up and asked, "Are you going to ask Concubine De Niangniang?"

But the noble man said, "You can't always trouble Concubine De, isn't this for the eighth elder brother, I'll go to see Concubine Hui myself."

Xianghe was stunned, she couldn't believe what she heard, and it wasn't until the nobleman urged her to get her clothes that she woke up and asked again, "You, you want to go to Changchun Palace?"

Juezen nobleman said: "If you don't want me to interfere in the affairs of the eighth elder brother, then ......."

"No, no, no." Xianghe immediately became energetic, "The slave will go and get it, and give you the best clothes to wear."

Soon after, Yinxi was packing up some paperwork in the duty room of the Ministry of Industry, waiting to be handed over to the officials, and this year's affairs were suspended with the emperor's seal, and everything will be disposed of when he returns after the New Year.

Yinzhen is also busy here, and the brothers still talk and laugh from time to time, mentioning that tomorrow Emperor Ama will drive to the palace, they have not received the will to escort him, and they want to send someone to inquire who Huang Ama brought, but when they saw Yinzhen's attendant coming in, they looked a little nervous.

"Say, Fourth Elder Brother, what is there to hide?" Yinxi is calm.

"Back to the eighth elder brother, the noble man of Juezen went to Changchun Palace,

Just now." The attendant said, "Right now, the palace door is closed, and I don't know what's going on inside."

The eighth elder brother immediately became nervous, turned around and walked out the door.

Yin Zhen stepped forward to stop him and persuaded, "If you go, Concubine Hui will only be more angry, and the noble people of Juezen are not what they used to be. It's not that the fourth brother is frivolous, but now everyone knows that Yanxi Palace is taken care of by Concubine De, and Concubine Hui is in the same position as my mother, even if there is a conflict in words, she will not torture the nobles."

Eighth Elder Brother's eyes were scarlet, and he said bitterly, "Fourth Brother, you don't understand."

Yin Zhen said: "I understand that when you and I were not born, my mother was also tortured, and the person who tortured her later raised me and was kind to me."

"Fourth Brother......

"The affairs of the harem ladies, they have their own way of living, and no matter how bad it is, the emperor Ama and the imperial grandmother are in charge." Yin Zhen persuaded, "You listen to the words of the fourth brother, calm down, your impulsiveness and recklessness will only become a lever for Concubine Hui to threaten you."

After the eighth elder brother gasped heavily, he waved his hand and ordered the attendant to retreat, and Yinzhen took his younger brother back into the house and brought him a bowl of tea.

"Thank you, Fourth Brother." The eighth elder brother took the tea and said in a low voice, "I came from Changchun Palace, and Concubine Hui asked me to go, thinking that she couldn't see me go to Yanxi Palace to ask for peace, but she didn't mention my mother, but just warned me and asked me to go back and tell Liqiu, stop making jokes, don't make her lose face again."

"Brother and sister...... What did you do?"

"Don't hide it from the fourth brother, your younger brother and sister think that they are from a rough background, and no one in their mother's family can help me, so they want to seek a future for me wholeheartedly." The eighth elder brother smiled bitterly, "Actually, it has long been spread in the capital, and she has been very enthusiastic with the ladies of the Tong Mansion recently."

Yin Zhen could have said something that seemed reasonable, but innocuous to comfort his younger brother, such as Tong Fu was a relative of all their princes and grandchildren, and the female relatives were not worth muttering. But the interests of the court and the Tong family, the obvious matter, why bother to fake Qinggao, he swallowed this.

The eighth elder brother continued: "The day before yesterday, Huguo Temple burned incense, and Liqiu met the daughter of the Tong family, and outsiders said that she did it on purpose, saying that she broke the rules and delayed the worship of the Buddha in other mansions, so they all complained that Concubine Hui did not teach her daughter-in-law."

Yin Zhen sighed: "Such gossip, they can make up mountains and seas, you and I shouldn't take it to heart."

Eighth Elder Brother nodded: "I thought so too, but I didn't expect that E-Niang would go to Changchun Palace. Fourth brother, E-Niang is in a very good mood today, she likes the script I sent, we gossiped for an hour, I haven't been so happy for a long time."

Yin Zhen said: "It must be because I saw you do something in the court, so that the nobles have the confidence to get close to you."

Eighth Elder Brother was worried: "But if I am tortured by Concubine Hui because of this, how can I be embarrassed, Fourth Brother, why, why am I so difficult?"
