Chapter 91 Chapter 91: Reward

"By God's blessing, the emperor's decree said: The fourth elder brother Yinzhen handled the case of the third prince Zhu headstrong and reckless, which caused the rebels to almost stir up chaos. Fortunately, the eighth elder brother Yinsi cleaned up the mess and did not cause a catastrophe. Brother Yinzhen will stop all his duties from now on, and he is not allowed to interfere in the government without my will. I respect this." The fourth elder brother kowtowed, and said in a deep voice, "Your servant obeys the order." Li Dequan accepted the imperial decree and handed it to the fourth elder brother, and said: "Si elder brother, you will have a good life in the house, and the slave will speak kindly in front of the emperor when he has the opportunity."

The fourth elder brother thanked Li Dequan, put another bank note into his hand, and sent him out.After returning to the hall, Jin Zhi was still waiting there, looking at him worriedly, and asked, "Fourth Master, what should we do now?" The fourth elder brother smiled desolately and said, "Let's go." Jin Zhi was anxious, with tears in his eyes, and asked him: "This is my home, where do you want me to go?" The fourth elder brother sighed, sat down slowly, and said: "It doesn't matter where you go, just don't follow me. Look at me, the position in the court is gone, and Huang Ama doesn't want to see me, so my mother Not to mention, I haven't looked at me since I was a child. What do you mean by following me?"

Jin Zhi cried: "I don't marry you because of your background and status, but because you are you. If one day you don't even have food to eat and go to the street to beg for food, believe it or not? I, Jin Zhi, will marry you." Follow behind you and serve you the bowl." The fourth elder brother slowly closed his eyes, and after a while he said in a shy voice, "Why bother? You know I don't have you in my heart." Jin Zhi sobbed: "My Ama also asked me this sentence. After he finished asking, I asked myself, why bother? But from the moment I saw you, I fell in. The more I struggle, the more I fall. Deep, in the end I didn't even have the energy to struggle, so I could only allow myself to sink slowly, sinking... In the end, you are the only one left in the whole world."

The fourth elder brother was moved when he heard it, and looked at Jin Zhi firmly.Jin Zhi wiped the tears off his face indiscriminately, and said with a forced smile: "I must be ugly, right? I know you are in a bad mood, and I should make you happy, but I don't know why, but I just can't control my tears. You wait for me, I'll dry it right away, dry it right away." The fourth elder brother smiled faintly, stretched out his hand to pull her over, and sighed in a low voice: "I don't deserve you to treat me like this." Jin Zhi shook his head and said: "No, no, Fourth Lord is worth it! Jin Zhi knows the pain in your heart! Don't be depressed, although Huang Ama is being deceived by traitors, but in the future he will definitely understand your painstaking efforts for the country and the people. "

The fourth elder brother fell silent for a long time. Jin Zhi looked at him carefully, and asked, "Fourth Master, should I call Thirteenth Master back from the south? Lao Ba has Lao Jiu and Lao Ten to help, but you don't even have a helper by your side. As the saying goes, brothers If the Thirteenth Master can come back, maybe there will be a turning point." The fourth elder brother thought for a while, and said: "Okay, you go to grind the ink, I will write a letter to the thirteenth brother." Jin Zhi hurriedly went to the desk to prepare paper and pens, and the fourth elder brother stood in front of the desk for a while, then picked up a pen and wrote on the letter paper: Thirteenth brother sees the words like meeting, come to Beijing to meet quickly.

Then he sealed the envelope and handed it to Zhao An to gallop day and night to the south of the Yangtze River.The thirteenth elder brother who was inspecting the river works was surprised when he saw that there was only one sentence written in the letter. In recent years, he had been sent by the Kangxi faction and rarely returned to Beijing. Seeing that the fourth elder brother suddenly asked him to go back, he asked Zhao An: "What happened to the fourth brother?" Zhao An briefly talked about the recent events in Beijing, but he didn't dare to mention the entanglement between the fourth elder brother and Qingchuan.

Brother Thirteen couldn't help but smiled and said, "Oh? I haven't been back to Beijing for more than a year. I didn't expect the Baye Party to be so powerful. It just so happens that the river project is over. I'm going back to Beijing to report to Huang Ama. Debriefing, and meeting Lao Ba and the others for a while." Elder Brother Thirteen is a vigorous and resolute person, since he decided to return to the capital, he simply explained the official duties to his subordinates, and took Zhao An back to the capital directly.Half a month after entering Beijing, the thirteenth elder brother asked Zhao An to deliver a letter to the fourth elder brother at Yongwang's mansion, while he himself went into the palace to meet Kangxi.

Kangxi was very happy to see Brother Shisan come back, and heard him report that the Jiangnan river project had been handled properly, so he couldn't help laughing and said: "It's really my Thirteenth Brother who is the most worry-free, and I will stay in Qiang today. Qing Palace, I will host a banquet for Thirteenth Lang to wash away the dust." Brother Thirteen thanked him with a smile. He was sitting and talking with Kangxi when he saw a young eunuch hurried in from the outside and knelt down on the ground with a plop.Li Dequan, who was standing on the sidelines, stared and reprimanded: "Why are you so flustered! Don't be afraid to scare the holy car!"

The eunuch was startled, and hurriedly kowtowed to Kangxi to plead guilty.Kangxi was in a good mood because of the arrival of the thirteenth elder brother, so he didn't bother with him, he just asked, "Xiao Shunzi, what happened?" Xiao Shunzi kowtowed again, his face was full of joy, and reported: "If you go back to the emperor, the maid from Chuxiu Palace came to report, saying that the concubine is pregnant." Everyone in the Nuan Pavilion was startled, since Kangxi had neglected his concubine for a long time since the second abolished prince, they never expected that she would be pregnant.Li Dequan was the first to react, and immediately knelt down to congratulate Kangxi, saying: "Congratulations to the emperor, the concubine is going to give the emperor another little elder brother."

Kangxi was also overjoyed, stood up and walked back and forth excitedly twice, then turned to Xiao Shunzi and asked, "But did you call the imperial physician over to see?" Xiao Shunzi nodded and said, "The imperial physician from the Imperial Hospital has already checked the pulse of the Empress Xi." Kangxi paused, and said to Li Dequan: "Come on, let's go see her too." Then he turned and walked outside. After walking two steps, he realized that Elder Brother Shisan was still there, so he stopped again. He said rather apologetically: "Thirteen Lang, I will cleanse you up another day!"

Elder Brother Thirteen hurriedly laughed and said, "Emperor Ama doesn't need to worry about my minister, I have been away from Beijing for some time, and there are some friends who need to be connected." Kangxi smiled, turned around and took Li Dequan away. Elder Brother Thirteen waited for everyone to leave, and then suppressed the smile on his face. Just as he was about to leave, he saw a little eunuch rushing in from the outside, and said to a beautiful maid standing in the corridor : "Aunt Qingchuan, Li Wenda told you to prepare some silver ingots. The emperor will definitely reward you when he comes back. I'm afraid you need to use them." The court lady nodded, and replied: "I see, you can tell Li Wenda to rest assured." Brother Thirteen felt his heart move, walked over, smiled and asked the maid, "Your name is Qingchuan?" Only then did Qingchuan look at him with a calm face, squatted down respectfully, and saluted: "Brother Thirteen is auspicious, if you go back to Brother Thirteen, the servant girl is called Qingchuan." Brother Thirteen nodded slightly, smiled, turned and left. In the Chuxiu Palace, the concubine Xi leaned on the soft couch, silently looking at the imperial physician who was kneeling in front of her and taking her pulse.The imperial doctor paused for a moment with his finger on Jubilee's wrist, a look of surprise flashed across his face, and he couldn't help but look up at Jubilee. The Jubilee smiled slightly, and asked softly, "What's the matter? Is there any problem with my child?" The imperial physician hesitated and said, "My lady's pulse doesn't look like a happy pulse..." The concubine smiled, sat up and said unhurriedly: "But it has been reported to the emperor, what should I do? Do you want the emperor to punish the crime of deceiving the emperor in the palace? It doesn't matter if the palace dies, but the concubines in the palace Do you think the emperor will let you spread the secrets of palace secrets such as fake pregnancy to deceive people in order to compete for favor?" Hearing the sweat dripping from his forehead, the imperial doctor quickly bent down and kowtowed, "I'm afraid, please help me." The concubine stretched out her hand to help him up, and said in a low voice: "It's very simple, you just say that I am pregnant, and when the emperor comes to this palace every day, and you help me find some secret recipes for giving birth, everything will be unknown." Do you feel it?" The imperial doctor's eyes flickered when he heard this, and he was uncertain.Jubilee looked at him, twitched the corners of her mouth lightly, and threatened again: "If you gamble with me, we still have a chance, but if you don't gamble with me, I will definitely let your whole family be buried with me .” The imperial doctor hurriedly kowtowed and said: "I... I obey the order, I will go to prescribe the medicine first." The concubine Xi nodded, and asked the maid to come in and take the imperial physician to prescribe a prescription, after a while, she heard Wan Yue reporting outside: "Your Majesty, the emperor has arrived." While talking, Kangxi came in hurriedly with Li Dequan, and the concubine Xi hurriedly bowed down to greet Kangxi, but was held up by him.Kangxi smiled and said: "You are pregnant, get up quickly. What did the imperial doctor say?" Jubilee smiled shyly, and said softly: "The imperial doctor said it has been more than a month." Kangxi laughed loudly and said, "Okay, I never thought that I could have another child at this age. It's such a great joy!" Everyone in the house hurriedly knelt down to congratulate Kangxi and the concubine Xi. Kangxi was over half a hundred years old, and the concubine Hou was able to conceive at this time, which obviously showed that he was in good health, so he was very happy in his heart. Everyone in the palace rewarded him generously. Qing Chuan was a little surprised when she saw the reward brought back by the palace maid, and asked, "Is the Empress Xi concubine really pregnant?" The court lady was very happy because she got a lot of rewards, she nodded and said: "Well, it's been more than a month, the emperor ignored the Empress Xi concubine a while ago, the palace said that she was going to fall out of favor, and there are still many people who want to go up Stepping on the Empress Dowager's feet, what was the result? The Empress Dowager is a lucky one. The emperor was overjoyed when she was diagnosed with a dragon son. Now who dares to say "no" to her? I heard that someone has already started giving Chu Xiu There is a gift from the palace!" Qing Chuan couldn't help feeling a little sigh when he heard this, the concubine Xi had been favored for a while, but she was disgusted by Kang Xi because of the abolition of the crown prince, seeing that there was no hope of turning over, she was suddenly diagnosed with pregnancy again.In this palace, everyone's fate is constantly ups and downs, and no one can see what will happen in the future. Qingchuan sighed and shook her head, and got up to go to the Qianqing Palace to be on duty. Sure enough, she saw Kangxi was happy and in a good mood. Qing Chuan turned to Li Dequan and said with a smile: "Look at this girl, you still think that I don't reward her enough, and you use good words to deceive me!"
