"What happened next?" Ling Ruo looked up and unexpectedly caught a hint of hatred in Yinxiang's eyes. Concubine De... he still hated her after all!
Yinxiang took a deep breath, forced back the soreness in his throat, and smiled with looming tears: "You will never imagine what the fourth brother did later. He killed the servant who cheated the master and the nanny.
He was called to the courtyard, and the nanny was severely reprimanded in front of them, and then ordered twenty canes."
"The wet nurse is so cunning, how can she be willing to be punished? Besides, will those people listen to Fourth Master's words and execute them?" Ling Ruo said doubtfully. "
"Of course they refused." Yinxiang held the corner of his mouth and said with a sad but extremely proud smile: "So the fourth brother gave me to Master Fu to hold me, and he picked up the stick that was taller than others, and used it
He hit the wet nurse on the back with all his strength and left her crying for father and mother. He did not stop until he hit twenty strokes. Mr. Fu said that the moment after the beating, the fourth brother looked better than the wet nurse.
It was even worse, despite how loud the nanny screamed. In fact, the fourth brother was small and weak. The twenty sticks only caused her some skin and flesh pain at most, but did not hurt her muscles or bones at all. It only took two days to heal, but he himself was almost exhausted.
, his hands kept shaking, but he still stood upright. From then on, no one dared to look down on the fourth brother, and I was able to grow up safely because of the care of the fourth brother."
"Don't look at how cold the fourth brother looks now. In fact, he was not like this before. Mr. Fu said that before that incident, the fourth brother was very kind to everyone. Queen Xiao Yiren raised him very well, being courteous and gentle.
He is kind, but good people in the palace are destined to be bullied, especially when there is no one to protect them, so the fourth brother was forced to keep a cold face and pretend to be a good person.
Gradually, his temperament began to change, becoming cold, suspicious, and elusive. He would only take off his mask in front of the people closest to him. Otherwise, he would not be known as the wise king.
." Yinxiang sighed helplessly. If it hadn't been for him back then, the fourth brother might not have become what he is now. He really owed the fourth brother a lot.
"Why are you telling me this?" she asked. If Yinxiang hadn't mentioned it, she would never have known these things.
Yinxiang dusted off the corner of his robe and stood up, squinting at the dazzling glazed tiles of the palace in the distance, and grinned: "I don't know, just think that I have nothing to do and just chat with someone.
"
Looking for someone to chat with? In one chat, he revealed the secrets he had hidden for many years? No one would believe this.
Yinxiang lowered his head and glanced at her, and couldn't help but smile when he saw the disbelief on her face, "Sister-in-law, could you please stop showing such an expression, as if my lie was so clumsy?"
Ling Ruo was startled by the word "sister-in-law" and quickly stood up and said: "Ling Ruo is humble and does not deserve to be called Thirteenth Master like this." The rules of the Tian family are strict, and with Yin Xiang's identity, only the direct descendant Fujin Nala
Can you be worthy of being called your sister-in-law?
"It's just a title, what's all the fuss about." Yinxiang stretched his body and flexed his muscles carelessly. He was the most informal of all the elders, and if he liked it, he would still make friends with traffickers and lackeys. On the contrary, even if
Even if they were royal relatives, they wouldn't pay attention.
He didn't care, but Ling Ruo couldn't. She repeatedly asked him to take back the title. In desperation, Yinxiang had no choice but to promise not to call him if there were outsiders around.
"Speaking of which, I was really surprised when I first saw you. Fourth brother's study is almost like a forbidden area in the mansion. Even my direct descendant Fujin has never been in it, so you are allowed to come and go. It's really rare."
Yinxiang's casual words made Ling Ruo suddenly feel something in her heart. She saw that she was not the only one who was surprised by Yinxiang, but also Kangxi, Concubine De, Concubine Yi and Concubine Rong.
Yinxiang saw himself in Yinzhen's study, but what about the others? Why were they all so obviously surprised when they first saw him?
Concubine De and others are people who have lived in the palace for a long time and are used to seeing disturbances. They will never express their joy and anger easily on their faces. If they can be surprised, they must have been greatly shocked in their hearts; Concubine Rong is even more disgusted.
color.
Could it be... She stroked her face, and a thought suddenly came to her mind, could it be that she looked like someone?
"What are you thinking about? It's time to go in and have a meal." Yinxiang patted her when he saw Ling Ruo suddenly caressing his face without saying a word. He didn't even hear Concubine De's message to have a meal.
"It's nothing." Ling Ruo came back to his senses and agreed casually. After walking a few steps with Yinxiang, she suddenly grabbed his sleeve and said, "Thirteenth Master, after dinner, can you accompany me to the scenery?"
A trip to Ren Palace?"
Jingren Palace? Isn’t that the residence of Concubine Rong? Could it be that the sister-in-law is angry that Concubine Rong pointed her out to her fourth brother as a princess and wants to seek revenge on her? Even if Concubine Rong falls out of favor, she is still a concubine. How can she
Allowing her, a humble concubine, to humiliate her? This would be too high-minded.
Seeing Yinxiang frowning and looking slightly unhappy, Ling Ruo knew that he must have misunderstood, and said hurriedly: "I don't mean anything else, I just don't understand something, and I just want to ask the imperial concubine."
"Is that so..." Yinxiang relaxed his eyebrows and asked, stroking his chin: "It's not impossible, but you have to tell me what it is first."
Standing in the Forbidden City, no matter where you look, you will see gorgeous and splendid palaces and vermilion palace walls. Once you step into the Forbidden City, you will never step out again, no matter how honored you are, whether you are lonely or miserable.
"I want to ask Concubine Rong, who does this face look like? If you don't ask clearly today, I'm afraid there will be no chance in the future." In addition, Ling Ruo had one more thing to ask, but it was inconvenient to say so.
Said in front of Yinxiang.
When they entered, Yinzhen had already returned, his expression calm and calm, and he could not tell whether he was happy or angry. However, this time, Ling Ruo saw the sadness hidden deep in his heart from his calm appearance, even though nearly two years had passed.
Ten years have passed, but the pain in Yinzhen's heart has never been healed. Perhaps he can only have a moment of peace when facing the memorial tablet of Queen Xiao Yiren.
Do you want to die?
If you want to die, stay away and don't harm anyone here.
Your life is yours, it's up to you whether you want it or not.
Suddenly she remembered what Yinzhen said when they first met. At that time, she felt that Yinzhen was mean and rude, and regarded human life as nothing. Looking back carefully now, Yinzhen seemed to be scolding her at the time, but in fact he clearly wanted to take advantage of these words.
Wake her up, otherwise, with his status, why would he care about the life and death of a little girl.
And when she was almost hit, he was the one who rode up to catch her and saved her under the horse's hooves. The anger when he saved her was not because she hit him, but because he thought she didn't care about her own life and wanted to die.
Being cold and mean is just a disguise that Yinzhen uses to protect himself. His heart still belongs to the humble and kind-hearted young man from twenty years ago...
Heartache and pity merged into an inexplicable emotion that spread in his heart. At this time, Yinzhen noticed that someone was staring at him. He looked back and smiled slightly when he saw it was Ling Ruo, even though it was just a short breath.
The smile made Ling Ruo's heart feel like it had been hit hard by something, making it sore and swollen with a little joy...
She finally broke the oath she had made and fell in love with Yinzhen. She hoped that God would not blame her for breaking the oath.

Said this book has experience
The historical framework is, for example, the Niu Hulu family was indeed the one who entered the palace in the 43rd year of Kangxi's reign, and for example, Yinzhen was indeed raised by Empress Xiao Yiren when she was a child, etc., but the specific contents are all fictitious by me, otherwise it would not matter.
