Twenty-two led Master Qi to a yard where people were being carried away.

Fortunately, in the garden, the space is large and there are many pavilions and pavilions. It is not as neatly divided horizontally and vertically as in the palace, so there is room for space and it is easier to avoid people's eyes.

The Twenty-Twenty exempted the Seventeenth Master from the gift and specially gave him a seat. The Fifth Chief came forward with the tea stove and personally served the tea for the two masters.

In order not to attract attention, no lanterns were held in the courtyard, and even the lanterns carried by the eunuchs were ordered to be extinguished first.

Across the hazy night and the vague twilight, Twenty-Twenty raised his eyes to look at Master Seventeen.

Master Seventeen is ten years older than Twenty-Twenty, and is now in his forties. He has long lost the mischievousness he had when he was a child. Only in the flash of his eyes can he still vaguely see the traces of that time.

.

Nian and Twen lowered his eyes to drink tea, and smiled softly, "Although I didn't follow the emperor to Rehe, the 'great achievements' of the Seventeenth Master have already been spread back to the capital. Such things are rare in this world.

Only Seventeenth Master can do it; what’s even more rare is that if he does it, he won’t make the emperor angry, but the emperor will personally protect him... There is no second son in the world."

Master Seventeen sat quietly, facing Twenty-Twenty at this moment. Meng Lang no longer looked as tall as outsiders thought, and even the naughty look that was once familiar to Twenty-Twenty had disappeared.

At this time, the Seventeenth Master was sitting quietly in the darkness, covered in twilight, and the expression on his face and eyes had already been covered with a layer of deep armor.

"Why not? In my opinion, the third elder brother is the one who can do such a thing in the future, and my brother will definitely protect the third elder brother more than he protects me."

The 220-year-old also smiled and said, "Don't dare, Miankai! As long as I'm alive, I won't tolerate him doing such nonsense."

Master Seventeen raised his eyes and glanced at Twenty-Twenty quietly, but made no sound.

Twenty-two felt relieved, and smiled lightly, "I understand what Master Seventeen wants to say. After all, things in this world are unpredictable, and no one knows how long they can stay in this world..."

The Seventeenth Master coughed and quickly waved his hands, "Sister-in-law, don't worry too much. Anyway, I'm ten years older than you. If you want to leave, I'll leave first."

Twenty-two's heart trembled, and he hurriedly said, "Seventeenth Master said it again! These words are reasonable, so how can they be said just because they have nothing to do? Seventeenth Master quickly took them back.

, please don’t murmur out of nothing like this again.”

The Seventeenth Master quickly grinned sillyly and stood up to plead guilty to the Twenty-Twenty.

Both of them laughed for a while, putting aside the embarrassment of that moment. Twenty-two then lowered his eyes and said quietly, "...Actually, I understand what the Seventeenth Master is thinking. It all belongs to that kid Miankai.

Good luck, I thanked Uncle Seventeen on his behalf."

Only then did Master Seventeen slowly open his mouth and smile again in the increasingly deep dusk.

"...When I was young, there was a fifth uncle in front of me who acted as a mirror. They all said that when they saw me as a child, it was like seeing my fifth uncle when I was a child."

The "Fifth Uncle" he mentioned was He Prince Hong Zhou.

"But even though almost everyone inside and outside the palace said so, Khan Ama never said that. When I was young, I didn't understand what was going on. I was muttering to myself at that time.

, Khan Amma and Fifth Uncle are of the same age and grew up together, so no one in the world understands Fifth Uncle’s character better than Khan Amma... Then why didn’t Khan Amma say that?”

When Twenty-Twenty listened, his heart moved slightly.

The twilight was getting deeper and deeper. Master Qi sat in the darkness and laughed softly a few times, "Maybe I was young and ignorant at that time. It's because I grew up later and slowly understood

Because the fifth uncle is ridiculous in the eyes of the world, and only Khan Ama knows it best. In fact, that is not the true temperament of the fifth uncle at all..."

"Back then, the fifth uncle dared to use his fists to chase the leader of the military aircraft minister Neqin. Such a thing was simply stupid in the eyes of outsiders, but Khan Ama never really pursued it. Instead, after that incident, he called the fifth uncle

As the minister of political affairs...that means Khan Amma fully understands what Uncle Wu is doing underneath his apparent confusion."

After Master Seventeen finished speaking, he quickly uttered an ouch and raised his hands to Twenty-Twenty, "I lied again. I shouldn't have brought up the marriage in front of my sister-in-law."

Twenty-two also nodded slowly, but also smiled softly and said, "I am the queen, Neqin is just my slave, what is there to say?"

Because Neqin happens to be an elder of the same clan as Twenty-Twenty, the first-class Duke of the Sixteenth House was inherited from Neqin.

The Seventeenth Master is right. At that time, Neqin, as a bachelor of the Baohe Palace, a first-class Duke, and the foreman of the Military and Aircraft Minister, was a very popular minister, and became one person below ten thousand people. At that time, Neqin, in addition to the former

Who else would dare to fight besides the prince and Prince Hong Zhou?

But this Neqin later made a big mistake in the Battle of Jinchuan and was eventually sentenced to death by the late emperor... It can be seen that the pursuit and fight with Prince Hongzhou in the court was not without reason. What he did with Prince Hongzhou

Son, on the contrary, it fits the late emperor’s state of mind back then.

Master Seventeen turned around and looked at Twenty-Twenty quietly, "With Uncle Wu as a mirror, I can roughly see my future path. In fact, this is my luck. After all, this life is too long.

, No one can predict what they will encounter in the future, and how they will solve such troubles... But because of my fifth uncle, I can."

"Now that I am in my forties, I feel more and more that what I felt back then was right. I feel more and more grateful for the existence of my fifth uncle.

"...Now that I have grown up and become an uncle, I also have a nephew like my third elder brother who has exactly the same temperament as my little ex-son. I thought, oh, then I should also become the fifth uncle back then.

Then I should be a mirror to Third Brother!"

Seventeenth Master's eyes were buried deep in the night, as if the entire eye sockets were filled with black eyes, and all the white eyes were gone.

"I thought, if I want to be the mirror of Third Elder Brother, I have to find the most suitable time to do it. It won't work if it's too early, because Third Elder Brother is young, so he may not be willing to take it seriously; it won't work if it's too late, otherwise Third Elder Brother

When he becomes an adult, no one will understand him just because he is a child."

"I thought, this year is a suitable moment - after all, the third elder brother is getting married this year, and it is the year when he changes from a child to a man."

The tip of Twenty-Twenty's heart trembled slightly, the tip of her nose was already sore, and her eyes were hot.

She had known for a long time that Master Seventeen suddenly became so ridiculous after ten years. He must have had his own plan to go there. But when she heard Master Seventeen say such words with her own ears, she was still a little agitated.

It was shaking.

It turns out that Master Qi was thinking about Miankai...

Twenty-two sniffed and said quickly, "Seventeenth Master...how do you want me to thank you? For Miankai, you were fined four years of the county prince's salary..."

Master Qi was happy, "Hey, you don't want to give me more money, right? Forget it, no matter what, I won't be able to survive without the money. Didn't my brother give me the pawn shop?"

Should I keep it?"

N220 said seriously, "...This life is worth meeting Master Qi."

"I'm not talking about the relationship between Master Seventeen and the Emperor's younger brother, I'm talking about the relationship between us that we never knew each other before we fought."

The Seventeenth Master was also happy and sighed, "Who told me to eat you to death when I first met you... Now that the third elder brother is your eldest son, can't I stand by and watch?

"

.

The night was getting darker and darker, and the play in Tongyuan Garden had not finished yet, but some people who were tired of watching the performance started to disperse one after another.

The benefactor happened to be heading here with the lady. From a distance, he saw the shadowy people here, so he quickly took the lady and hid in the bushes.

In the distance, there were only two lanterns lit over there, illuminating the road. After all, the favored man was young and had good eyesight, so he could still see clearly the two people who were saying goodbye to each other——

"Ah, why are you the Queen and the Seventeenth Master?!" The benefactor's heart was beating with fright.

After all, she entered the palace late and was young, so she didn't know much about her past life. However, she had heard stories about the harem throughout the ages. For example, the secrets of the imperial throne and her brother-in-law.

The benefactor glanced nervously at his daughter, "...what's going on? The queen left the table earlier. Didn't she say she was going back to the palace to take care of the fourth brother? Then why did the queen come here?

Did you see Master Seventeen coming?"

"Counting the time, the Queen Queen has left the same paradise. It has not been short. So, the Queen Queen and the Seventeenth Master have been here together for so long?"

Xing Ding, the official daughter of the benefactor, was so frightened that she quickly grabbed the benefactor's sleeve and said, "Master... I don't dare to say more about this."

The benefactor pouted, "I know. I was just talking to myself, and I didn't tell anyone else."

While they were muttering in the bushes, the Queen and the Seventeenth Master had already dispersed over there. The night was closing in, as if everything before was just an illusion and nothing had happened.

Xing Ding looked into the distance and whispered, "After all, the master has just entered the palace, and he is still just a nobleman. But the one over there is the queen... Didn't the master leave quietly without seeing them?"

Even if Master saw it, there was no other evidence, and even if Master said it, there would be no one to support Master, right?"

The benefactor didn't like to hear it, "You're reminding me that I'm a low-key person in this harem, right?"

She comes from the Wuya clan, a clan member of Emperor Yongzheng’s biological mother, Queen Xiao Gongren; her Ama is the censor of Zuo Fudu, and her mother-in-law is the princess of the clan! She just entered the palace and was granted a noble title for the first time, but who dares to say

Did she leave quietly?

But now that everyone there had dispersed, it was pointless for her to stay angry here, so she angrily walked out of the bushes, pouted and headed towards her bedroom.

"Sister En, your legs are so strong!" Suddenly, a voice came from next to him, which startled En Guiren, and the stubble in his hair almost stood up.

"Who?!" Xing Nai also quickly raised his lantern and shined it in the direction of the sound.

I saw ripples in the night, and a woman in palace attire, accompanied by an official woman, was walking towards this direction with leisurely steps.

From the palace attire, one could also tell that the person coming was a concubine. Furthermore, from the ram-horn lantern that the official woman was wearing, she could tell that she must be a concubine or above.

The benefactor did not dare to neglect, so he hurriedly saluted and said, "My little sister was abrupt and alarmed the empress."

The light of the ram's horn lantern finally came to the eyes, and the benefactor could see clearly that she was Rubi.

"Sister, please wake up quickly. There is no need to be so polite."

Rubi personally helped the benefactor, and the two looked at each other. Rubi said with a smile, "I originally went to my sister's palace to look for my sister, but I didn't see her. Then I came back from my sister's palace and came up halfway to greet her.

Looking at my sister, she really asked me to meet her."

Seeing the confusion in the eyes of the benefactor, Rubi smiled and said, "... This time I went with the emperor to the Rehe Summer Resort, so I also prepared some small gifts for the sisters who stayed in the capital. It has been a while since I came back, and I was thinking about it.

Give it to Sister En alone."
