The two discussed the south study, and the preparation work could not be forgotten.

Go to the people for fun, and you can also rub the people's feelings.

When the day of departure tomorrow, the danger outside the palace is unknown.

Regarding the matter of Yijie Jinlan, because Wang Kai and the young Kangxi are both experiencing it for the first time, they don't know the essentials at all. Whereas, in the south study, there was no prepared water and wine, no porcelain bowls, and no knives to cut fingers.

In line with the principle of simplicity, the two of them knelt side by side in front of the righteous door, raised their heads, swore to heaven, and said in unison a bold remark revealing the righteousness of their brothers--I do not want to be born on the same day and month of the same year, but I wish to die on the same day and month of the same year. There are difficulties and blessings.

After completing the oath, Wang Kai looked young and old, and the little eunuch he possessed was only sixteen years old, but he looked like he was twenty years old when he was weak and crowned, and the young Kangxi was exactly eighteen years old. Therefore, when the two of them were commensurate with each other, the young Kangxi was the elder brother and Wang Kai was the younger brother.

Seeing that the ceremony of secretly worshipping brothers was quietly held in the south study, anyway, it was already night, and there was nothing else to do in the Qianqing Palace, so the young Kangxi immediately decided to feast his brother-in-law Wang Kai in this south study.

And Wang Kai came to this world five hundred years ago, and became a little eunuch by mistake, and he ate coarse tea and light rice with dozens of eunuchs on errands in the Qianqing Palace on weekdays.

Although they are in the palace, but the eunuch is only regarded as a lowly slave after all, and he is a sixteen-year-old little eunuch, all the treatment is naturally relatively poor, he roughly calculated, he has not seen meat for a long time, heard the young Kangxi said that there was a sumptuous dinner table in the south study, he had long wanted to fight the tooth sacrifice but did not find the opportunity, without saying a word, he nodded and agreed like pounding garlic.

In less than half an hour, a round golden nanmu table was placed in the center of the hall at the door of the south study, on which were placed some delicacies that Wang Kai could not name, as well as two jars of imperial wine that tasted very refreshing.

It's a pity that the good food and wine on this table are only eaten by Wang Kai and the young Kangxi, and the more than a dozen eunuchs and palace maids who are responsible for the diet and daily life of the young Kangxi on weekdays were invited out of the door of the south study to wait for the dispatch.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, Wang Kai, who was full of food and drink, felt that he had been here for some time, and he was very depressed in the palm-sized Qianqing Palace all day, and he had a whim, and wanted to take a walk outside the palace to see what the social scene of the people was.

"Brother Xuanye, junior brother, I have a reluctant request, I don't know whether to talk about it or not, and I ask Brother Xuanye to make it clear. Wang Kai, who was a little drunk sitting on the first place under the young Kangxi, secretly made up his mind that he wanted to take a walk outside the palace to have a look, so he asked in a tentative tone and asked in a noncommittal whisper.

After the worship ceremony, the young Kangxi specially instructed Wang Kai that in private, the two of them could be called brothers, and there was no need to be a monarch and minister. And less than an hour has passed, Wang Kai really did it unceremoniously, no longer calling the young Kangxi "Long live the Lord" or "His Majesty the Emperor", but calling "Brother Xuanye" one by one.

"Brother Wang Kai, you are now my recognized brother-in-law, if you have any requirements, just put it forward, as long as I can do it, I will definitely satisfy you without hesitation, but it doesn't matter. After taking a sip of the high-quality West Lake Longjing tea, the young man Kangxi who was sitting on the top of him turned his gaze to Wang Kai, who was sitting on the top of him, and replied with a swear.

"Brother Xuanye, I was sent to the palace when I was fourteen years old and became a eunuch. It's just that with the martial arts he practiced when he was a child, he was not bullied in the palace, and he could barely use it to protect himself, and his life was very boring, boring, and depressing.

"I thought that since you and I had become brothers, I wanted to go outside the palace and have a look, and give my brother only one day. I've been in this palace for a long time, and I miss the folk life outside the palace very much, I wonder if Brother Xuanye can agree to my brother's reluctant request?" Wang Kai put the manuscript that had already been typed, pretended to be thoughtful, and continued to ask for instructions in a tentative tone.

"Brother Wang Kai, according to this, you have only lived in this palace for more than two years, and I have lived in this palace for many years since I was born, and before I was in power, my grandmother did not allow me to step out of the palace for half a step, so I have lived in this palace for more than 16 years.

"Since I was in charge two years ago, I have been able to enter and leave the palace freely, but occasionally I follow my friend Suo Etu to sit in his palace outside the palace, and I have never experienced walking among civil society. I'm ashamed to say that I read in books that many Ming monarchs in ancient times could understand the suffering of the people, but I have never been to the people to experience it.

"One of the biggest reasons for this is that my grandmother was worried about my personal safety, for fear that after leaving the palace, I would be assassinated by Aobai, Kupilon and other rebellious ministers and thieves, so I wanted to sneak out of the palace in disguise, but I didn't dare to try it easily.

"And yesterday, Brother Wang Kai, your boy skills really opened my eyes and understood a truth of 'there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the people'. Even more than 20 of my Qianqing Palace's carefully selected martial arts guards can't get close to you, but you are beaten by you to find teeth all over the ground, it is really a hero out of a teenager, and the hero does not ask where he comes from.

"You have done a lot of hard work, and you naturally don't have to worry about your personal safety when you leave the palace, and I am naturally relieved to release you out of the palace, and it doesn't hurt to let you play in the civil society outside the palace for a day. However, Brother Wang Kai, I can send you out of the palace, and you must agree to one condition to me. The young Kangxi breathed a sigh of relief, first sighed, and then agreed to Wang Kai's request to leave the palace, and at the same time, he put forward an additional condition, and said without a smile.

Wang Kai, who was sitting in the first place, saw that the young Kangxi happily agreed to send him out of the palace for a day, and he was immediately happy. But then, when he heard that the young Kangxi followed up and put forward an additional condition, he suddenly felt lost in his heart.

"Since, Brother Xuan Ye has a condition that his brother needs to agree to, you might as well say it, as long as it is my brother, I will do my best. Wang Kai, who was full of joy and sorrow, after a pause, made a forced smile and spoke.

"Brother Wang Kai, my condition is that my name is Suo Etu, and the three of us will go out of the palace for a day together, so that outside the palace, the three of us will have a care. With you and Suo Etu, two of you brothers with strong weapons by my side to my left and right, I don't have to worry about my personal safety. Of course, this matter is only known to the three of us, and no one else should be allowed to know about it, especially my imperial grandmother. Otherwise, I will be punished by my grandmother. Young Kangxi saw Wang Kai, who was sitting on the first side of him, speaking in a firm tone, and he immediately got straight to the point and said straightforwardly.

"Okay, Brother Xuanye, I will agree to this condition you offered, since we have reached a consensus on this matter, then when will we leave to sneak out of the palace to play?" Wang Kai felt that the iron should be struck while it was hot, sooner rather than later, so he asked in a somewhat tactful tone.

"It's late tonight, and Suo Etu isn't here, so I don't think it's going to work tonight. Let's set it for tomorrow. Early tomorrow morning, at midnight, Suo Etu will bring the twenty young warriors who stayed in his mansion to come here to practice fist and foot kung fu, and when the time comes, leave the twenty of them in this south study to continue to practice punching sandbags, and I will secretly send someone to call Su Malagu from the imperial grandmother and let her keep an eye on them, so that I can rest assured.

"And you and me, as well as Suo Etu, the three of us can dress up in disguise and go out of the palace with a carriage driven by Suo Etu. For this plan I proposed, I don't know what Brother Wang Kai's intention is?" Young Kangxi pondered for a moment, and when he landed, his eyes lit up, and he said thoughtfully.

"Brother Xuanye, this plan of yours is very good, very good. Then let's make a decision first, and tomorrow morning, we will gather in this south study. When Wang Kai heard that the young Kangxi said that he could leave early in the morning, he immediately nodded in agreement with the wise and martial decision of the young Kangxi.

After negotiating the matter of leaving the palace early tomorrow morning, it was already late at night. Before the young Kangxi drove back to his dormitory, considering that Wang Kai would no longer be able to sleep in the dark and damp side room with those little eunuchs in the future, he immediately made a temporary decision: from now on, the bedroom of the south study will be reserved for Wang Kai to live in, and no one will disturb him to rest here without permission.

After this commandment, the young Kangxi left the south study with confidence. And Wang Kai lay on the brocade couch in the bedroom of the south study and lost sleep.
