In the fifty-second year of Kangxi, Yinxiang was twenty-eight years old, and a new tooth grew in the innermost alveolar bone on the right side, and he was dizzy and swollen in pain day and night, and his cheeks were swollen and high.

There is no doctor in the imperial hospital who specializes in treating toothache, and the master in charge estimated that he prescribed two prescriptions, and he ate and ate, but he didn't get better.

Kangxi was going to go on patrol and ordered him to follow him. When he got up early in the morning, Zhao Jiashi brought a bowl of black medicinal juice and said, "Take the medicine before entering the palace, I'll wear it, and I'll go with you." After she finished speaking, she went back to her small courtyard.

Yinxiang didn't wait for her, the prince and Fu Jin were waiting in two different places, even if they went out together, they still had to be separated at that time.

The room was brightly lit, shining with bitter juice, and he frowned, turned and went out. March and April were cold in spring, and there was a little rain in the middle of the night, and the flowers and leaves were wet, soaking through the corners of his robe, and he felt even more cold.

When they arrived at the gate of the palace, people were neighing everywhere, ministers came and went, and the guards in armor were neatly arranged, with the momentum of drawing their blades and opening their crossbows.

Yinxiang saw the carriage and horses of the Fourteenth Baylor Mansion at a glance, and the big green forging sedan chair, he knew that it was a rose sitting inside.

Turning to the side without leaving a trace, through the crowd of people, he only looked in that direction lightly, and then hurried into the palace gate.

His toothache was terrible, and his mind was a mess, and he couldn't concentrate. The fourth master walked briskly from the small side hall of the Qianqing Palace, Yinxiang wanted to be safe, but the fourth master didn't even have enough effort, patted Yinxiang's shoulder while walking, and said: "Let's have a drink in Zhuangzi" The voice declined, and people have gone far.

Yinxiang looked at his fading back, closed his mouth, and went sideways into the tea room to get snacks to eat. There are two large tables and hundreds of small meals in the tea room, all of which are used by the imperial dining room to prevent Kangxi from being hungry in the middle of the night.

Later, the ministers and princes often discussed matters and couldn't go home all night, so Kangxi allowed them to go to the imperial tea room to get food at any time.

Having said that, the ministers and princes rarely really come to get food, after all, this is a place dedicated to imperial food, Kangxi does not give an edict, and few people dare to come often.

Yinxiang has never come to receive it before, but he will ride a horse to the fourth master Zhuangzi, he didn't eat anything for dinner last year, and he didn't eat breakfast today, and he didn't know when he would wait for the next meal, so he thought about eating two pieces of dim sum to hurt his stomach.

Although there are many dim sums, but everything is hard, Yinxiang just looked at it, and felt a toothache. The two little palace maids in the teahouse didn't dare to say anything in front of the prince, and stood at the door with their heads bowed, silent.

Someone came in for a while, blessed and said, "The thirteenth master is auspicious." Yinxiang turned around, saw Hongfu, and said politely: "No courtesy." Hongfu was generous and said with a smile: "If you don't dislike it, can you let the slave make you a bowl of porridge?" Yinxiang was puzzled, and Hongfu smiled again: "Two days ago, the emperor asked you why your face was swollen, and you said that it was a toothache, and the slave maid was waiting in front of the palace at that time." Yinxiang also smiled and said, "Don't bother, maybe Huang Ama wants to call you." Hongfu had quickly scooped out a bowl of cold gruel from the pot, put it in a small bowl that is usually used to cook medicine, and picked up a boiled egg on the snack table, peeled off the shell and put it in the bowl, her eyebrows and eyes were clear, and she said: "The leftover ginger porridge that the emperor ate at night yesterday was boiled in chicken soup, and I was reluctant to throw it away, and I was wronged to eat leftover porridge." Yinxiang was embarrassed and hesitated: "It's the leftovers of Huang Ama, there is no grievance, it's just" She is Kangxi's woman after all, although she has no reputation, but everyone knows it.

Hongfu guessed what Yinxiang was thinking, and said without a head or a tail: "It doesn't matter." Hongfu crushed the eggs with silver chopsticks, and put them on the small stove where the tea was boiled together with the ginger porridge for a quarter of an hour, and then packed them in a porcelain bowl, picked up the clean spoons and chopsticks, and said to Yinxiang: "Don't worry, the emperor and the governor of Jiangsu, Lord Zhang, are talking, and it is estimated that it will not be finished for a while and a half." "A few egg yolks on the hot gruel, the fragrance of ginger rushes to the surface, and I feel my appetite is great.

Yinxiang said politely: "I'm tired." Hongfu cleaned her hands, took out the lotus heart tea from the cabinet, brewed it with water, put it in a gold-plated tea tray, and said with a smile: "The slave and maid are retired." Yinxiang nodded and said, "Go ahead." After eating the porridge, the sky was already bright, and the eunuchs rushed around to blow the fire and extinguish the lights.

Yinxiang lingered under the corridor for a while, and then went to the Xinuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace. Seeing from afar that several other brothers were standing at the door and standing quietly, he trotted to stand between the fourteenth and twelfth elder brothers, and the fourteenth glanced at him, then looked back at the ground, and said in a low voice: "What's wrong with your face?" Thirteen in short: "Toothache." The ninth master, who was standing opposite, glanced at the pavilion, and when he saw that there was no movement, he said slightly: "It's all three poles a day, do you still want to go to the fourth brother Zhuangzi?" "The fourth master has been playing the drum in his heart, and when he heard the ninth master say, it was even more banging.

The eighth master glared at the ninth master and said, "As long as you talk too much, whether you go or not, Huang Ama will have his will." The ninth master muttered: "It's been too long" As he was talking, suddenly the thick curtain embroidered with dragon patterns moved, bluffing everyone into quieting down.

Out of it came an old man with a white beard, his hair was sparse, and the long braids and hemp rope dragged behind his head were not much thicker, and mixed with gray hair, he looked extremely old and tired.

Zhang Boxing, the governor of Jiangsu, bumped into several princes head-on, although he was surprised but not panicked, he couldn't make a sound in front of the master, he clenched his fists and silently hit the princes, and when the fourth master rubbed his hand, he turned his back and retreated.

Then Kangxi began to drink Qingxin tea and use breakfast snacks. I don't know how long I waited, Kangxi ordered someone to come out and pass the word: "Let's start driving in another quarter of an hour." The fourth master breathed a sigh of relief, with a deep and shallow smile on his face.

Along the way, Yinxiang had a terrible toothache, half of his head was cramping, and he was exposed to the sun by the white flowers, only to feel that people were going to faint.

He rode slower and slower, falling behind. The north wind was howling in the suburbs, the loess was all over the sky, all the princes wrapped their noses and mouths with cloth towels, and the people sitting in the carriage did not dare to let the window peek out.

The carriage next to him suddenly lifted the curtains, and a voice came after a long absence, saying, "Fourteen, is it you?" The yellow sand fluttered, and Rose couldn't even hold her eyes open.

Yinxiang was stunned, turned his head to stare at the little face behind the yellow sand, and was a little overwhelmed. Seeing that no one was paying attention, Rose knew it wasn't Fourteen, and shrank her head back and lowered the curtain again.

Yinxiang's eyes seemed to be stuck to something, and he couldn't take his eyes off it for a long time. When he arrived at the fourth master's Zhuangzi, Yinxiang followed Kangxi into the compound.

Kangxi was furious at the impeachment of the governor of Jiangsu, Zhang Boxing, for the governor of Liangjiang, Kali, who in turn impeached Zhang Boxing for seven crimes.

Kangxi lost his temper on the top, and Yinxiang didn't listen to a word because of a toothache. After finishing the training, I started to eat, and the dishes and rice were all chickens, ducks, fish, meat, fruits, vegetables and grains produced by Zhuangzi.

Fresh is fresh, but Yinxiang is not used to eating, plus he has a toothache, and he drinks two bowls of soup and uses the excuse of hanging outside.

Out of the big courtyard, Thaksin walked to the path by the ridge, holding his swollen cheek in one hand, looking at the green and quiet green seedling field, stunned.

After a while, a voice came, saying: "Are you full, come out so soon" The familiar tone is delicate and soft: "It's unpalatable" Yinren instinctively looked at it, and it was Fourteen and Rose side by side.

Rose also saw Yinxiang and said with a smile: "Thirteenth Master, are your teeth better?" Yinxiang has been deliberately avoiding Rose, and suddenly he was a little embarrassed, he lowered his hand, and was about to reply, but he heard Fourteen: "How do you know that Brother Thirteen has a toothache?" Rose said without any guilt: "I just heard what the thirteenth sister-in-law said." Between the words, the two of them had already walked in front of them, and Rose said again: "The thirteenth sister-in-law brought the medicine she took in the morning, waiting for you to take it." Yinxiang pretended to be calm, his face was expressionless, there was no trace of joy and anger, he said: "It's useless to eat, it will hurt after all." Rose thought for a moment and said, "I heard that the thirteenth sister-in-law said that it was a new tooth, since it hurt so much, why didn't you pull it out?" Wisdom teeth are dispensable anyway. Yinxiang wanted to reply, but was robbed of the conversation by Fourteen, and said: "Don't mess around, how can you destroy your parents?" Rose Zhenzhen said: "If the wisdom teeth are crooked, they are redundant, what is there when they are extracted?" Besides, since he has received his own parents and cannot be damaged, then he will ask the emperor Ama whether this tooth will be pulled out or not. Toothache is not a disease, it hurts to be terrible" Her words were naughty, but she still looked serious, Yinxiang couldn't help but smile.

He smiled, tugged at the nerves on his head, and pulled hard, and it was really - he wanted to die! Yinxiang grinned in pain, gasped twice, and finally interjected, "I want to pull it out, but I can't do it well." He had read hundreds of books, even the books brought by the British missionaries.

He is open-minded, has a deep vision, and is much more flexible than the fourteenth class. Rose thought about it again, and suddenly smiled, there were flowers and plants all over the ground beside her, and a few potted plants were hanging behind her with countless pink and white clusters of flowers, obviously in spring, but Yinxiang felt that there was nothing more beautiful than her smile.

Rose grinned and said, "It's better to use a vice to clip it off" She is joking, the vice is so big, put it in the mouth and clamp the teeth, and it won't be painful to death?

Fourteen rolled his eyes and looked at Rose, and said, "Nonsense, next time you have a toothache, can you pull it out with a vice?" Rose wasn't angry, and giggled.

In less than three sentences, there was movement at the other end of the compound, and the eunuchs and palace maids all poured in, and said, "It seems that Huang Ama has run out of food." Rose said, "Go quickly, lest the Emperor ask about you." Fourteen snorted and said, "You also hurry up to find Sifujin, Huang Ama should have a will." As he spoke, Minqiu greeted him, and Fu said, "Master, Sifu Jin is invited." Rose then said to the fourteenth: "Then I'll go first" waved his hand to Yinxiang again, and said, "I'm talking nonsense, don't be angry." Yinxiang replied: "It's okay." After a pause, he added, "I'm not angry." She smiled again.

Yinxiang finally looked at the back of the rose, and thought suddenly: Ten years have passed, the sun has risen and the clouds have fallen, and the love has died out.
