Chapter 15 Chapter Fourteen

I was instructing Yunxiang and Yutan to choose tea in the side hall, the little eunuch Wang Xi ran in quickly, made a casual call, and hurriedly said: "Long live Lord is going down!" I smiled and said, "I'm going to go down You are so anxious, what are you doing? Be careful that your master sees you and says you!" He took a breath and said, "This time, the master sent me to tell my sister to be careful. Today in the hall, Somebody took a book from the prince!" After hearing this, I quickly suppressed my smile and said, "Thank you master for me!" He hurriedly typed another thousand and ran away.

I turned around and said to Yunxiang and Yutan: "Have you heard that? Be careful and take care of me today!" The two of them were busy. I thought to myself that since Prince Yinfeng's uncle, Suo'ertu, was confiscated and imprisoned for his failed rebellion, the prince was not involved on the surface at that time, but after all, the position of the prince is not so secure anymore.Although he is Kangxi's favorite son, he was taught by Kangxi himself since he was a child, but maybe it is because of his special doting since he was a child. Compared with other elder brothers, the prince is really not outstanding in virtue. Hushi was delayed, and the crown prince's position was already in jeopardy.

Kangxi is also struggling with reason and emotion now.On the one hand, he has seen that Yinreng is really not a suitable candidate to inherit the Datong, but on the other hand, Yinreng is the only child raised by him by his side, and his wife, Empress Hesheli Xiaochengren Kangxi's feelings made Kangxi wander between abolished and not abolished.Thinking of this, he couldn't help sighing, Kangxi had to face this pain again today. He suddenly heard the sound of picking up the driver from outside, and knew that Kangxi had returned.Tell Rue Xiang to make tea.The two of them hurriedly got up, and I prepared the tea set.Thinking that Kangxi was in a bad mood today, he was afraid that he would not like to see bright colors, so he picked out a tea set with sky blue glaze and chrysanthemum petal pattern.Thinking that according to modern psychology, blue can make people feel peaceful and calm.

Holding the tea tray, he walked into the room slowly, and saw that there were people sitting on the chairs around, but it was peaceful.Without squinting, he approached the table, gently put down the teacup, then bowed his head and slowly backed out. After stepping out of the curtain, he let out the breath he was holding.Asking the eunuch beside him in a low voice: "Who is there?" The little eunuch replied with a suppressed voice: "Fourth Master, Eighth Master, Ninth Master, Thirteenth Master, Fourteenth Master." After everything is done, it seems that Kangxi wants to ask their thoughts.Busy, he went down again and ordered Yunxiang and Yutan to prepare tea.

Before she could open her mouth, she heard Yu Tan laughing and said: "The tea is ready! First of all, as soon as you go out, Wang Xi said that the brothers are here, so I hurriedly prepared it first." I praised her place Nod, and take a closer look.While watching, Yu Tan then said in a quick voice: "Remember the rules! The fourth elder brother likes Taiping Houkui, the eighth elder brother likes Rizhu Xueya, the ninth elder brother likes Mingqian Longjing, the tenth elder brother is casual, the thirteenth elder brother I like it..." I hurriedly smiled and waved my hands and said: "Enough, enough! Just know what you remember!" Yun Xiang smiled and said: "No wonder people in the palace say that the girl is careful! In the past, those who served tea in front of the emperor only needed to remember. It is enough to follow the preferences of the Long Live Lord, but now the girl wants us to memorize the elder brothers' too." As I placed the teacup, I thought that I have my own reasons, but I must never say it.

Yunxiang followed me with a tea tray in her hand, and just as she walked outside the gauze curtain, she heard Kangxi ask, "What do you think of the booklet from the Ministry of Rites in the courtroom today?" What is the matter this time?The eunuch who lifted the curtain next to me saw me stop, and couldn't help giving me a surprised look.I hurried forward. Slowly walked to Si elder brother's side, and gently put Si elder brother's tea on the table.Turning around again, he went to the eighth elder brother's table and lowered his head to put tea.Only then did the fourth elder brother reply in a slow voice: "According to my son, the second brother has always been very lenient to the lowly people. There are people who don't know how to behave and embezzle the property behind the back of the second brother. Yes." Kangxi nodded slowly while listening.I also thought to myself, it seems that it is for the prince to intercept Kangxi's tribute privately.Although this matter made Kangxi very angry in history, in the end he did not punish the prince, but only dealt with other people involved.Thinking about it this way, Kangxi will still have the upper hand this time.

While serving tea to the ninth elder brother, the fourth elder brother's voice just fell.The tenth elder brother said: "A slave is so brave to him, if no one backs him up, he dares to intercept the tribute to Huang Ama at will?" I sighed in my heart, this old tenth is always unstable. Walking to Elder Brother Ten's table, he turned around and picked up the tea prepared for Elder Brother Ten from the tea tray held by Rue Xiang, and was about to put it on the table when Elder Brother Ten said: "What Brother Fourth said is quite strange. But the fourth brother has always had a very good relationship with the second brother, I'm afraid the fourth brother will also..." Before he finished speaking, he let out an exclamation and hurriedly jumped up from the chair.

It turned out that when I was serving tea, I accidentally poured hot tea soup on his arm.A little eunuch had already come up to the side to help wipe and check for burns.Kneeling on the ground hurriedly, I said: "Damn it, slave! Destiny, slave!" At the same time, I thought, it doesn't matter if you offend the prince, anyway, he will be abolished sooner or later, but if you offend the fourth elder brother, the end will be very miserable.Although I already know that the ending cannot be reversed, at least I absolutely cannot bear this process to be staged before my eyes.He sighed secretly and thought, one point is one point if he can stop it.

Elder Brother Shi saw that it was me who couldn't get angry, and was afraid that things would get worse and I would suffer, so he said, "It's nothing serious!" Li Dequan, the chief eunuch next to Kangxi, came over and reprimanded: "You don't want to retreat if you are sloppy." Go down!" Kangxi didn't seem to pay much attention to this farce, just quietly meditating. I got up and retreated, and when I got outside the curtain, I heard Kangxi say: "I'm a little tired today, you all go back!" I thought to myself that it seemed that I had made up my mind.Then he went back to the tea room with peace of mind.

Not long after I came back, Yunxiang came in with a plate, and said with a startled expression, "What happened to you today? You scared me to death!" I sat with my head bowed, without making a sound.I thought, on the one hand, Kangxi, as a benevolent monarch, has always been lenient to his servants as long as there are no faults of principle.So although I was also very nervous, I thought it would be nothing more than being dragged out to beat the board, and there was always no fear of my life.And at that time, I was anxious, and I didn't have time to worry about the consequences, I just thought about solving the matter in front of me.

Sitting silently, Wang Xi came in, walked up to him, yelled and said, "Sister, my master told you to come over!" When Yun Xiang and Yu Tan heard this, they panicked and stood up.I ignored them, stood up and followed Wang Xi out of the side hall. Wang Xi led the way for a while, and Li Dequan was standing under the tree in front of him. When he got closer, Wang Xi retreated, and I made a blessing and stood there silently.After a while, Li Dequan cleared his throat and said, "I see you have always been a cautious person, why are you so irritable today?" The money has been withheld." I hurriedly knelt down and said, "Thank you, Li Wenda!" He ignored me, turned around and left, and said in a low voice, "There is no room for so many good intentions in the palace! " After he left, I still stood quietly, a trace of sadness mixed with fear gradually emerged from my heart, flowing through my body inch by inch, slowly devouring my strength, I just felt that I couldn't stand at all, staggered After taking two steps, he finally sat on the ground.I put my head on my lap with my hands, bit my lower lip tightly, tears rolled in my eyes, but I forced it back in the end. I was contemplating deeply when I suddenly heard a voice above my head saying, "What are you doing sitting here?" I heard the voice was Brother Shi, so I didn't want to pay attention to him, and I still sat silently with my head in my arms.He knelt down and said beside him: "Hey! I didn't blame you for burning me, but you picked up the shelf!" I still ignored him.He was silent for a while, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, he quickly reached out and turned my head up, his face was startled, and he asked loudly: "Why did you bite your lips to bleed? Why did Li Dequan punish you?" When I looked up, I saw not only Brother Ten beside me.The fourth elder brother, the eighth elder brother, the ninth elder brother, the thirteenth elder brother, and the fourteenth elder brother were all standing on the sidelines, and they were also shocked. They hurriedly wiped their lips with their hands, jumped up, and rushed to say hello . Brother Ten saw that I was only busy saying hello and not answering his words, so he said angrily, "I'll go to Li Dequan and ask him for clarification." After speaking, he was about to leave, and I hurriedly whispered: "Come back!" He stopped He stepped down and said, "Then tell me yourself." I looked at him with mixed feelings in my heart. I was annoyed by his frizz, but also moved by his frizz. I stared at him for a while, then gave him a last look and said, "I was fined for a month's salary." Elder Brother Shi patted his thigh and shouted: "For a month's worth of money, why are you so angry?" I pouted and said, "Why not? You don't care about those money, but I'll pay you back." I'm counting on those silver coins, besides, I've never been fined before, and I always feel a little embarrassed!" He said with a smile: "Okay! Don't be angry, I will give you any rare things you want later. You buy it." After hearing this, I smiled and didn't speak again. I stood there, the elder brothers did not speak, the fourth elder brother and the eighth elder brother had the eternal indifference and gentle expression, the ninth elder brother looked at me sullenly, the thirteenth looked at me, looked at him, and smiled at me Blinking his eyes, he made another puzzled expression.I smiled back.Shisi frowned, looking elsewhere with gloomy eyes. I looked around and saw that no one wanted to talk, so I said with a smile: "If the masters have nothing to do, the slaves will go back first." The fourth elder brother said lightly: "Go!" I leaned over to greet Ann, Since I left.
