"Second brother." The fourth master looked at the former prince sitting on the couch, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
The deposed prince smiled and stood up to salute. The Fourth Master quickly stopped him.
The two smiled at each other and slowly sat down.
The fourth master had not seen this second brother for a long time. Even at the funeral of the late emperor, he just rode in a green-covered carriage in a low-key manner, with the vehicle blocked tightly, and never showed his face in front of others.
"The main body of the Zhengjiazhuang has been repaired. Second brother, do you have any other requests?" Fourth Master asked, looking at the increasingly thin and thin abandoned prince.
The deposed prince shook his head and looked forward aimlessly, "When will we leave?" He said very simply and neatly.
The fourth master felt even more uncomfortable, "There will still be people guarding Zhengjiazhuang, but don't get me wrong, second brother, those people are also here to protect second brother. If you want to go out for a walk, someone will make arrangements."
The deposed prince looked at the Fourth Master in surprise, "Are you really relieved?"
"I can trust my second brother, and I can trust the prince taught by Huang Ama." Fourth Master chuckled, "Second brother has sacrificed a lot for the sake of this world."
The deposed prince shook his head and smiled, "Huang Ama saw you right." He stood up, "But second brother, thank you for your kindness, I'd better stay in Zhengjiazhuang. In the past, I followed Huang Ama all year round.
, I spent more than half of my time on the carriage and on the boat. At that time, I thought, how nice it would be if I could just stay calm. Now I finally don’t have to move around. It’s good. I won’t cause any trouble to you, nor will I.
Get yourself into trouble."
The fourth master's throat felt like it was blocked. He was silent for a long time before he said, "That's fine! The door to Zheng's Village is always open."
The deposed prince nodded, changed the subject and asked, "Brother...is he okay?"
The fourth master did not expect that the deposed prince would ask about Prince Zhi, so he shook his head and said: "You look much older. After the three children were gone, it was a big blow to the eldest brother." All three are legitimate daughters.
The deposed prince said nothing and added: "I heard that you want to ask the brothers to send Princess into the palace."
"Yes!" Fourth Master responded, there was nothing he could do about it.
"My three brothers and sisters should stay in the palace." The deposed prince said directly: "Together with Hongxi and Hongpu, I can trust my four younger siblings. Even if the deposed prince's daughter marries those old clans, she still has to marry her own family.
Only when you get up can you live a good life. Your second sister-in-law's temperament..." The girl who was taught by the Crown Princess is virtuous. But the ordinary people's family cannot live with just being virtuous.
The fourth master nodded, "Okay! None of the nieces know how to caress Meng. My husband-in-law will try his best to find one in the second brother's former family. If there is a suitable one, he will show it to the second brother."
This is compensation for the deposed prince's initiative to stay in Zhengjiazhuang.
The deposed prince responded and then said: "Hongxi and Hongpu are not in a hurry to get married. The emperor will give them to them when they are old enough."
If you don't get married, you can stay in the palace. This is because I am afraid that you will take advantage of these two children.
The fourth master nodded, "I listen to my second brother."
On the one hand, this protects the two children, and on the other hand, it also reassures myself.
After all, someone who has been a prince for decades has an extremely accurate grasp of the king's thoughts.
The two brothers pushed each other, and the brotherly bond was established, and things were settled.
The next day, the emperor deposed the crown prince and gave it to Prince Li. Everyone was speechless.
No one dared to say anything. Prince Li left a few children behind and left the palace in a low-key manner.
"Living in Zhengjiazhuang, the supplies are provided by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It doesn't cost much money." Lin Yutong's first thought was about living.
The fourth master was stunned for a long time before he said: "Second brother has accumulated a lot over the years. Just from the four o'clock festivals and birthdays, the filial piety sent by the people below, accumulated over twenty or thirty years, is not a small amount."
That's right, the things given to the prince are not of the highest quality.
Lin Yutong nodded and continued to look through the clothing materials.
Fourth Master asked: "Is it for Mo Yaqi again?" It turned out that it was worn by a little girl, and it was made of plain material.
"No, it's the Sangege of Prince Li's family." Lin Yutong replied. This Sangege is the legitimate daughter. She is as old as Honghui. Although she is the third in line, she is the de facto eldest daughter. In recent years, the East Palace has
Many of the children died in infancy. Now this one has grown up, and there is Jiu Ge Ge, who is only three years old. The rest all died in infancy.
"From now on, Yaliqi and Mo Yaqi's status will be the same." Fourth Master gave another order.
Yaliqi is a Sangege name, which means small sweet fruit.
It can be seen that parents like it very much.
"Okay." Lin Yutong agreed happily. This was also a person whose fate was not very good. It was a good birth, but it was a bad fate.
She was supposed to be the proud daughter of heaven, but now I'm afraid she feels lower than anyone else.
The Fourth Qianxi Institute has been sorted out. Lin Yutong went to Yonghe Palace to tell the Queen Mother so that Mo Yaqi could be moved there.
Of course the Queen Mother was reluctant to part with it, "Have everything been arranged?" She looked very worried.
"The children are all here tomorrow. Mo Yaqi is the eldest sister and should go and entertain her." Lin Yutong smiled and said, "It's all ready. The emperor is still thinking about this child's magnolia. When spring comes, he will move some for her to plant in the yard.
inside."
Mo Yaqi was even happier, "I'll go take a look. If there's still room, I can plant two more grapes."
The Queen Mother laughed at her and said, "It's time for you to get married before the grapes bear fruit. Why bother with this? When the time comes to build the princess palace, I won't be able to ask your Majesty to plant them for you."
Mo Yaqi had long been trained to be thick-skinned by Lin Yutong. At this time, her face was not red, but she asked Lin Yutong: "Empress, is it okay? Is it okay?"
"Go and beg your Majesty's Majesty yourself." Lin Yutong smiled and said: "By the way, your Majesty's Majesty just said yesterday that he wanted to change his purse, so quickly make one and put it in. If you beg again, there is nothing wrong with it.
"
The Queen Mother laughed even more after hearing this and said to Mo Yaqi: "Don't listen to your mother-in-law. If you really beg like this, your mother-in-law will be even more sad. This girl is really hurting for nothing. She is only thinking about getting married now."
What’s next?”
Only then did Mo Yaqi become shy.
The Queen Mother asked her to pack her things and prepare to move.
Lin Yutong knew that the Queen Mother had something to say, so she dismissed Mo Yaqi.
"Sit here and say it." The Queen Mother pointed to the seat next to her and said to Lin Yutong.
Lin Yutong leaned over, wondering if it was because of Shi Shi?
Sure enough, I heard the Queen Mother say: "You must know that Fourteenth always comes to say hello. You probably also know why he does it. I called you here today to reassure you, Fourteenth, please hold on tight for now."
I will call the fourteenth old man to tell him this personally. I will treat him a little less for the time being. Others have this emperor's younger brother as a comparison. Even if they are not satisfied with the reward, there will be no complaints, right? He used to
I have just caused trouble for the fourth child. Now that I am wronged, I can only solve the trouble for the fourth child. The days ahead are still long, and the future is long."
Lin Yutong was very surprised by the Queen Mother's understatement, but somehow she still felt a little inconsistent.
After Mo Yaqi was settled, she went to see Yaliqi again. When she returned to the back hall of Qianqing Palace, she still couldn't figure out where this feeling of dissonance came from.
It wasn't until the fourth master came back that it was almost time for Lin Yutong to learn the Queen Mother's words exactly to the fourth master.
"You, you still have to learn from the empress." The fourth master smiled and said, "I really don't want to talk to Shi Shi. That's because I think of what Shi Shi did and my teeth itch with hatred. But after the empress said this, I still don't want to talk to you. Press Fourteen, what happens next? Didn’t the Empress say that there will be a long time to come! If Fourteen is obedient, ask me to look aside and let it go. This is the Empress trying to appease me. On the other hand, she must be scaring Fourteen again. , she will also definitely explain how my brother is very generous and doesn’t care about him. The decision to pressure him was made by her mother-in-law. Then she will crush it into pieces and tell Fourteen about it. A great relationship. Therefore, no matter what title I give Fourteen, Fourteen will not cause trouble. Because he believes that this is temporary. Not only that, he will also work hard to do his errands, hoping to give me an excuse to be promoted. A promotion to his title."
Lin Yutong was stunned, "Isn't this the same trick I used to fool Honghui and Hongzhao?"
Usually, she would always tell Hong Hui, who was provoked by Hong Zhao, that he was unmotivated, so don’t argue with him. When I deal with him, I will tell him to listen to you. Then she would scare Hong Zhao and ask him to If your eldest brother is not interceding for you, I have to beat you today. If you dare to cause trouble again, no matter how your eldest brother protects you, you will be beaten.
She was afraid that the two children would have bad feelings and she would become the villain.
Now I discovered that the Queen Mother was doing the same thing.
She felt a little uncomfortable. In fact, it is not easy to be a mother. When you meet someone who is ignorant, others can dislike him, but this is not the case for a mother. She always wants to do what is best for him.
I'm afraid the fourth master also had some feelings. "Actually... the empress spoke to me directly, and I let it go. She has been cautious in the palace for most of her life. It makes no sense that her son has become the emperor and is still cautious."
Lin Yutong said: "I don't want you to see how her face looks to Shi Shi, but I hope that I will really turn this page in my heart. I think, after all, we are all close. As long as Shi Shi changes, I will accept it." Easy. Don’t parents want their children to love each other?"
The fourth master nodded, took out the sign of Fourteen, and wrote 'Beizi' on it.
Lin Yutong thought to himself that Fourteenth probably thought that the lowest one should belong to Baylor. Even if there was an explanation from the empress, I'm afraid she would be very angry.
Two days later, when the princesses entered the palace, the decree of canonization came down.
The third master was promoted to Prince Cheng, the fifth master was promoted to Prince Heng, the seventh master was promoted to Prince Chun, and the thirteenth master was promoted to Prince Yi.
The ninth master is named Beizi. The tenth master is named Beile. The twelve is Beizi, the fourteenth is Beizi, and the fifteenth is Beizi.
Sixteen passed to Prince An and became the new Prince An.
Seventeen was also named Beizi.
The remaining ones are still young and will be raised in the palace. (. )
