Chapter 83 Chapter 82

May 23, the first year of Yongzheng Empress Dowager Wu Ya of Renshou passed away, and she did not accept the title of empress dowager conferred by Yinzhen until her death.Even at the last moment when he closed his eyes, he still ignored Yinzhen's call for 'Emiang'.After she closed her eyes forever, Yinzhen ordered everyone to retreat, and knelt upright by her bed for more than two hours, with a calm face, without anger or sadness. The queen had no choice but to order Gao Wuyong to call me over. I stepped forward to salute, but the queen hurriedly supported me and asked, "Do you have an idea?" I stared at the back full of grief and indignation through the window, and asked after a while, "Master Fourteen Have you arrived yet?" The queen shook her head and said, "Not yet, but I will probably arrive at night."

I feel uncomfortable in my heart, I felt pity and resentment towards Yinzhen for a while, I couldn't see Kangxi for the last time on the 14th, and now I can't catch up with Eniang for the last time.He is the emperor, and now everyone is worried about him, but what about Fourteen?Fourteen's pain?Because Erniang missed her lingering sickness, he couldn't do his filial piety in front of the bed, and he couldn't even say a word of comfort when he met him. Now when he rushed back, he could only face the cold and lifeless corpse.How can I describe the pain?What can I do with grief?

He faintly said to the queen: "Your maidservant has no idea." After speaking, he bowed to the queen and bid farewell.The queen looked slightly surprised, but I left anyway. After Sisi arrived in the evening, he knelt in front of the Empress Dowager's bed, silent and silent, and knelt for a whole night. When Tianming Yinzhen ordered someone to bury the body, Shisi suddenly went crazy and prevented people from moving Emiang's body.Yinzhen ordered someone to hold Fourteen Strong down, and Fourteen began to cry loudly, and the sound of mourning resounded through the entire palace. I was standing far outside the Queen Mother's Palace, and I could hear his heart-piercing cries.Leaning against the porch pillar, tears fell one after another.Mother and son, who is right and who is wrong?Why did the ending end with all three deeply hurt?

In the end, the crying suddenly disappeared, and the palace people yelled to tell the imperial physician, it turned out that Shisi had fainted from crying.Fourteen, who had always been in excellent health, fell ill on the bed due to the death of Er Niang. The illness lasted for more than a month. Until returning to Zunhua, Fourteen still needed help.Fourteen's grief has nowhere to go, and it seems that he can only vent it with illness. Yinzhen's face was clear and indifferent, as if his grief had long since passed.But in the dead of night, when he was reviewing the memorial, he would suddenly be in a daze, his face would be gloomy, his hand would hold the pen tightly, and his veins would throb.Only when he was not aware of it did he allow a little bit of instantaneous catharsis of grief.

The resentment towards him deep in my heart also softened a little at this time.She put down the book in her hand, walked over to him, lightly held his hand, and pulled out the brush.The two looked at each other silently, how much sadness was hidden in the furrowed brows?Reaching out to gently stroke his brow. He hugged me without saying a word, and the two embraced tightly.In the dark and long night, under the beating of red candles, the figures of the two cuddling each other are reflected on the screen window. "Other Gege don't give brother Hongli a birthday gift, why do you have to give it to me?" Cheng Huan asked, twisting the dress on her body.I said: "You will understand in the future." Cheng Huan got tired of me and smiled and said, "Good aunt, tell me now!" I looked at Cheng Huan, sighed slightly in my heart, and hugged her into my arms Cheng Huan hugged my neck quietly, and whispered in my ear after a while: "I like my aunt to hug me."

I patted her on the back with a smile and said, "I seem to have taught most of your sweet talk, right? It doesn't work for me." I thought that after I finished speaking, with Cheng Huan's temperament, she would definitely twist and rub, But she just lay quietly on my shoulder and didn't move. I was puzzled and wanted to push her up to check her expression. She hugged her tightly and said softly: "Auntie, I'm telling the truth. I just like the emperor. Uncle and aunt's hug. Cheng Huan can feel that aunt is hugging Cheng Huan because Cheng Huan is Cheng Huan."

I held her in my arms and shook her: "What tongue twister are you talking about?" Cheng Huan licked my face and smiled and said: "Auntie is pretending to be stupid again, Uncle Huang is really right." He pursed his lips and whispered in my ear: "I know that many people hug Chenghuan because of Uncle Huang, and of course it's also because Chenghuan is cute. But my aunt is willing to hug Chenghuan no matter whether Chenghuan is dirty or naughty. .” I was silent for a while, not knowing whether to be hurt or happy, how old Cheng Huan was, but I had begun to understand the court faintly in my heart, but this might be a good thing, after all, only when I understand will I not do stupid things.

Cheng Huan was still tired of me, and refused to get up, I looked at Shisan who entered through the curtain and said, "Your Mama is here." In an instant, Cheng Huan stood up straight and greeted Shisan with blessings.I propped my head up and laughed, Shisan looked at Cheng Huan with a complicated expression for a while, and then smiled wryly.Cheng Huan ran away in a hurry. I watched Cheng Huan leave, and laughed loudly: "The thirteenth master whose charm was unstoppable back then, now there are little girls who will sneak away when they see it, and avoid it for fear of being late!" Shisan smiled wryly: "You can also do such a thing. Taking pleasure in other people's misfortune?" I suppressed my smile and said, "When she was older, she understood that the doting we dote on her stems from your love for her."

Shisan smiled wryly and shook his head, put aside the topic, and asked, "How is Cheng Huan's zither?" I shook my head and said, "Difficult! She sees that other Gege don't have this homework, so she doesn't want to do it herself." Thirteen silently For a moment, she said sadly, "Everything else is up to her, but she must learn the zither well. I don't want to give her the zither that my mother left her, but she can't play it." I nodded and said: " Alright! Even if I slap her in the palm, I must make her learn to be smart." The two were chatting, the eunuch came in a hurry, saw Shisan and me, hurriedly went up to say hello, and I also hurriedly stood up. "Good luck to Lord Thirteen! Good luck to aunt! The emperor said, 'If Brother Thirteen hasn't left the palace yet, let's have dinner together!'" Thirteen agreed and sent the eunuch to leave first.The two of us walked away slowly.

"During the meal later, you still plan to get a piece of food with chopsticks from the emperor, so you just stand up and thank you once?" I looked at Thirteen and asked.Thirteen smiled, "Ruoxi, Brother Huang is now the Ninth Five-Year Lord after all, we are not just the relationship between the fourth brother and the thirteenth brother, we are also monarchs and ministers. But I will stop in moderation, I have done it." It's also annoying. Last year was a time when we faced too many changes and didn't grasp the scale." I shook my head and said, "But he doesn't want you to regard him as the emperor." Shisan stood still, stared at me, pondered for a while, looked around, and said, "Ruoxi, once a person sits in that position Regardless of whether he wants to or not, he will eventually have to face the loneliness and honor of being alone and being worshiped by thousands of people. After a long time, he will get used to it, and he will also get used to the absolute power brought by this position without knowing it. , Absolute majesty, will gradually become intolerant of other people's hairpin."

I shook my head and said, "No, he won't." Thirteen said: "Tang Taizong is well-known in the annals of history for his kindness to his heroes, and his remonstrance, but just like that, he said angrily, 'Sooner or later, we will kill Wei Zheng', If it wasn't for Empress Changsun's persuasion, the consequences would be unpredictable. Since ancient times, the emperor's mind has been difficult to figure out, and many things are on the line. Even if he regrets it afterwards, how can Jinkou speak, how can he easily go back on what he said?" I stared at Thirteen Weiyu, and Thirteen said: "Ruoxi, you have to learn to accept, there is no contradiction in these things. Now I regard him not only as my most respected and beloved fourth brother, but also as the leader of the whole world." Emperor, I am his subject. I not only respect him with the heart of a younger brother, but also be loyal to him with the heart of a courtier." I shook my head and walked quickly, "If he knows, he will be sad." Thirteen caught up from behind and said, "Brother Huang understands everything in his heart now, and you are the only one who doesn't understand." I looked sideways at Shisan Three, Thirteen said with a wry smile: "Ruoxi, why are you always afraid of the future and refuse to change? It seems that you always want to hold on to everything in front of you and don't want to go any further. Is the future really that scary? But..." He Sighed: "Brother Huang is guarding you, afraid that you will change. I don't know whether it is right or wrong when I say these words today, but I am really worried about you, and I am worried that one day you will not be able to hide behind the things made by Brother Huang and yourself. in the world." Rubbing her temples, she put down the account book in her hand, and walked out of the Nuan Pavilion slowly.In Beijing in September, the sky is as clear and clear as washed water, which is very comfortable to watch.With a slight smile on my lips, I leaned on the porch pillar and stared quietly into the depths of the sky. Hearing the hurried footsteps behind him, an eunuch ran to the outside of the Nuan Pavilion, poked his head and shouted to the maid and eunuch on duty: "The emperor is coming soon, please pay attention today." I was still huddled behind the pillar, but I was surprised. Looking at this posture, is there something that makes Yinzhen feel bad? I thought about it for a while, but I didn't have any clues. Now I only know a few important things about the court affairs, and I am too lazy to care about others, and I have no way of knowing.Just thinking about it secretly, Yinzhen has come back, followed by Shisan.I turned from behind the colonnade and bowed down to say hello.Yinzhen's face was as cold as usual, and he couldn't see any displeasure. Shisan also looked indifferent, staring at me for a moment, and looked away. The two entered the main hall one by one, and I slowly walked out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.He found a corner where he could see the Hall of Mental Cultivation and sat down, and became dazed. "Master Thirteen!" Thirteen turned around in response, and seeing it was me, he said with a smile, "I have some things to leave the palace in a hurry, so I'll talk about it when I have something to say." Then he walked forward.I rushed to block him, stared at him and asked, "What happened?" Thirteen frowned and looked at me for a while and said, "The more you know, the more annoying you become. It's better not to know anything at all." I stared at him stubbornly.After a long while, he sighed softly, stared down at the ground and said, "Brother Huang scolded Brother Starling today." I wondered in a daze, didn't Yunsi died in detention in the fourth year of Yongzheng?What I have been avoiding and unwilling to think about, finally surfaced in my mind today. Thirteen waited for a while, seeing that I was just standing there, sighed lightly: "Ruoxi, don't think about it, you can't do anything about these things." I said, "Why scold Ba Ye?" When my brother was promoted to the Taimiao with the card of the Emperor Ama God, when he was resting in the changing tent set up in front of Duanmen, because everything in the house was newly made, it was a little fumigated with oil and gas. The preparation for this matter was in charge of the Ministry of Works, and myna happened to be in charge of the Ministry of Works For the matter, Brother Huang got angry for a while, so he reprimanded the starling." I was silent for a while and asked, "Is it just a reprimand?" Thirteen hesitated and said, "I also ordered the starlings, the ministers of the Ministry of Industry, Lang Zhong, etc. to kneel in front of the Taimiao all day and night." I turned around and walked towards the Hall of Mental Cultivation. He grabbed me and said, "What do you want to do? To intercede? I have asked for everything I could ask for, and I have said everything I could say." I asked: "Can we just watch?" Thirteen sighed: "The ministers who begged today were all reprimanded. Later, I interceded with the emperor in private, and the emperor just listened quietly. I talked for a while, and the emperor was indifferent. Say 'the decree has been made, and there is absolutely no reason to go back and forth', and then you don't want to talk about it again. Could it be more effective for you to ask for mercy than me?" I said: "I have to give it a try!" Thirteen said: "I have something to tell you." As he spoke, he walked up and down, and when he reached a place where there was no one, he bowed his head and pondered for a long while and said, "Ruoxi, Brother Huang Although you were not canonized, and you were only kept in the Hall of Mental Cultivation in the name of a court lady, anyone with a discerning eye knows that you are already the emperor's brother. Back then, I was worried that you would not be able to treat the emperor wholeheartedly, but now, in my opinion, you are right Brother Huang's affection will never be less than Brother Huang's to you. If that's the case, you should completely let go of starling!" I asked: "If you and I are in different places, can you treat the same thing as a stranger and ignore it? How can you ask me for things that you can't do yourself?" Thirteenth said: "I know it's difficult, but the situation is where it is now. In the past, there was a relationship. The starling is your brother-in-law, but now you have no relationship at all. If you still remember the starling in your heart, once you are caught Brother Huang knows about the matter between you and starling, you are harming him." I smiled bitterly and said: "Back then you advised me to tell the emperor directly about this matter, saying, 'You think fourth brother is too mean! Zuoying can tolerate Minmin, but fourth brother can't tolerate you?'" Shisanyi was stunned for a while, and said after a long while: "How many years ago are these words? You still remember! It has been eleven years, how many things have happened during that time? We are not what we were then, but now we are the emperor's brother. Not the fourth brother!" I murmured: "Yinxiang, what should I do?" Thirteen sighed: "If you are really good for the starling, you should let it go. Otherwise, the emperor will find out the clues and become suspicious, and the emperor will know sooner or later , I'm afraid that Brother Huang will hate starling even more." I bent over and squatted on the ground, holding my face in my hands, why did this happen?Thirteen silently accompanied each other, and after a long time said quietly: "Life is only a few decades, but there are more sorrows and less joy! There are nine out of ten things that can't be helped!" I slowly stood up, and Shisan looked at each other blankly After a while, he turned and left, only to hear a long sigh behind him.
