The palace is heavy, and the night light is on. The third master, the fourth master, the eighth master, the thirteenth master and their haha beads stood under the pillars of the upper study and gossiped. Talking about the emperor's southern tour, the fourth master said: "The tax and silver in the spring have not been paid, the treasury is empty, and the emperor Ama has gone out, and the money is a lot. It's just that the people at the bottom are frugal, and they can't shorten the use case of Huang Ama, the prince is in charge of the internal affairs office, where can he get money? It's really embarrassing! ”

The eighth master didn't speak with his hands behind his back, and the third master smiled: "Don't worry about you and me, the left and right emperor Ama doesn't rely on us." ”

The thirteenth master said: "Yesterday I bumped into the prince in the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, and looked at his sad face, and without saying a few words, he let Suo Etu's people call them away, they are sneaky, and they don't know what to plan..." You are young and unprepared, so it is inconvenient for you to talk to you. ”

The fourth master also chimed in: "The eighth is right, and the thirteenth must not lose his words." ”

As he was talking, the third master pointed forward and said, "The ninth and fourteenth are here." Fourteen saw that the fourth master was also there, he was unhappy in his heart, turned around and wanted to leave, the ninth master said: "I don't know the people in it, and you are afraid of the fourth brother." Fourteen said in annoyance: "Who is afraid of him, I just think he is verbose and loves to train people." The ninth master said: "Fool, he will only control you when you are your own brother." ”

Fourteen became more and more unhappy, and said: "I have Ama and Eniang, why should I let him take care of it?" ”

Approaching the platform, the two stopped talking, and the fourth master asked, "How is the deficit in the medicinal materials of the Tai Hospital?" The Ninth Master hugged his fists and said, "Today, I went to the medicinal herb shop of Niu Colu's house and asked someone to check the entry and exit lists in the account room, but I didn't find anything for the time being." Fourteen ignored the fourth master, hooked the eighth master's shoulder, and asked, "Are you late?" ”

The eighth master smiled: "Don't talk about being late, I don't even have to eat dinner, waiting for Huang Ama to ask." ”

Fourteen took out a few slices of beef jerky from his purse and said, "Let's take a bite of my stomach first." "The eighth master took it, and divided it into the third, fourth, and thirteenth masters. The moonlight is in the sky, the cool steps are like water, and the night breeze in early summer is blowing, clear and fresh, with a faint fragrance of flowers and plants. The third master chewed beef jerky while teasing: "Eighth child, I heard that your daughter-in-law is making trouble again?" ”

Since the thirty-seventh year of Kangxi, the eighth master married Guo Luoluo, the granddaughter of Prince An, and the entire eighth master's mansion has not stopped for a day. Not only were the few concubines who entered the mansion forced to die, and those who drove away, but even when the two concubines went to bed, they all had to be agreed by Guo Luoluo. Outsiders all say that the eighth master is afraid of the inside, but the eighth master laughs back: "If she doesn't make trouble for a day, the house will be lifeless." ”

Fourteen likes the eighth master's calmness and safety, unlike the fourth master, who hides everything in his heart, and he doesn't know what he is thinking after pondering it a hundred times. The third master shook his head again and again, and said, "The eighth child is too soft, so he was suppressed by a girl." In exchange for others, others must have a straight face, but the eighth master is eating beef jerky by himself, with a smile on the corner of his lips, without a trace of anger.

At nine o'clock, the great eunuch in front of the emperor sent a message that the emperor was tired and went to the harem, and Ming'er summoned you again. Thirteen and fourteen were nothing, they lived in the Elder Brother's house, and they turned a few palace streets to arrive. The third, fourth, eighth, and ninth masters have all opened their mansions outside, and they have to go home in a carriage from the palace. Several people were hungry and dispersed.
