Chapter 200 Golden branches and jade leaves

Hong Zhou then raised his head, but Yinzhen didn't look at him anymore, his eyes fell on Hong Li.

Hong Zhou followed Huang Ama's eyes and looked at his fourth brother.

Yinzhen looked sharply at Hongli, who looked calm, and said, "Hongli, how about your recent class reading?"

Hongli said quietly: "I have returned to the Emperor's Arma. I am not in the study room today. I am only in the school grounds learning about firearms. I also studied military books yesterday. I am very enlightened."

Yinzhen was startled, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Oh? What book?"

Hongli said loudly: "Huihuang Ama's words are the "Art of War" that Emperor Taizu most admired."

He paused, his voice became clearer, and every word was loud and clear: "Everyone in the world says that I am a Manchu man who conquers the world with bows and horses, but I think that the most important thing is to focus on training heavy armored infantry. In the battle of Saarhu..."

Hongli talked eloquently and endlessly.

The more energetic he spoke, the lower Hong Zhou's head hung.

Concubine Yu just looked at Hongli indifferently.

Yinzhen listened carefully to what he said, nodded and said: "You are so young, but you know how to analyze problems outside of the rules, which is good."

Ji Ling could see clearly from the side. Although Yinzhen's voice was full of praise, his expression was as calm as ever.

At this time, the eunuch loudly announced from outside that Princess Heshuo and Hui had arrived.

Ji Ling followed the crowd and looked up, and saw Princess Heshuo and Hui wearing a princess crown with two layers of gold and dongzhu, a fragrant court robe, surrounded by flowers and eunuchs, surrounded by palace maids and eunuchs.

Belatedly arrived.

As soon as she came in, she saw that Yinzhen was already in the courtyard. She immediately knelt down and saluted to say hello. Then she said hello to the queen, and then saluted to several concubines.

When he arrived in front of Concubine Yu, Ji Ling saw Concubine Yu with a smile on her face. She was flattered and stretched out her hand to help Princess Hehui up.

Princess Hehui came to see her two elder brothers again.

Everyone heard her shout "Brother Hong Zhou" in such a warm and affectionate manner.

But when she arrived in front of Hongli, Princess He Hui only said: "I have met Fourth Brother."

Yinzhen didn't take it seriously, but Ulanara took a step forward, hugged Princess Hehui's shoulders affectionately, and then smiled and joked: "What a little girl! I know that your emperor Ama loves you the most, so I dare to compete with you."

Your Majesty, Ama, is too late!”

Princess Hehui tilted her head, and stayed in Ulanala's arms for a long time before she straightened up, mysteriously grabbed Yinzhen's arm, shook it and said: "Huang Ama, Huang Aniang, you guys

Guess who I brought?"

Ulanara was startled for a moment and said: "Who?"

He Hui turned around and said with a smile: "Sister Shushen, why don't you come in?"

Standing next to Ji Ling was Mao Bi. At this time, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and said quite unexpectedly: "Princess Shushen is here?"

Princess Shushen? Who is that?

Ji Ling has never seen it before.

She and everyone else followed Princess Hehui's gaze and saw not far away, a girl about the same age as Princess Hehui, standing there silently.

Compared with He Hui's delicate and lively appearance, this girl's brows are covered with a layer of sadness like mist from the south of the Yangtze River. Her face is as delicate as a hibiscus, her figure is thin, and her temperament is calm. I feel pity for her.

Queen Ulanara glanced at the girl, with an indescribable look flashing in her eyes.

She just glanced at Yinzhen quickly.

Yinzhen was also startled, and then he waved his hand and said warmly: "Shu Shen, come here."

Princess Shushen walked over silently and arrived in front of Yinzhen and Ulanara. Her shoulders were hunched and she said in a low voice: "My son, please send your regards to the emperor. May the emperor wish you peace. Please send regards to the emperor's mother.

Wish you the best of luck to the Queen!"

Yinzhen shouted, trying to soften his voice, and said with a smile: "Shu Shen is always afraid of excitement, why are you here today?"

He was not used to speaking softly to his children. This was obviously a greeting and concern, but it was forcefully said by him with a meaning of reproach.

Sure enough, a trace of panic and confusion flashed in Princess Shushen's eyes, like a child who had done something wrong.

She just knew - she shouldn't be here.

She is the daughter of the deposed prince.

The previous dynasty deposed the prince.

In the forty-seventh year of Kangxi's reign, Emperor Kangxi deposed the crown prince Yinreng for the first time.

Half a year later, the third elder brother reported that the eldest elder brother had suppressed the prince. After verification, Yin Reng was reinstated as the prince.

In the fifty-first year of Kangxi's reign, Prince Yinfeng was deposed again.

That is to say, on the day when the decree was issued, Yinfeng's side Fujin, whose family name was Tang, gave birth to a lovely daughter named Princess Shushen after struggling painfully for two days and two nights.

Of course, Princess Shushen did not have this title when she was born.

This title was given by the current Emperor Yongzheng.

Shortly after Shushen was born, she was imprisoned in Xian'an Palace along with her father Yinreng.

More than ten years later, her fourth uncle Yinzhen succeeded to the Qing throne as Emperor Yongzheng.

In the second year after her fourth uncle became emperor, her father, the deposed prince Yinreng, died in the seclusion.

The Tang family of Jin Dynasty died in love.

Princess Shushen was taken into the palace, adopted as the adopted daughter of the emperor, and regained her freedom.

She became a princess of the Qing Dynasty, but she was the princess with the most embarrassing status.

Many people say that it was precisely because of her birth that brought bad luck to her father that he faced the edict of deposing him.

The concubine's cold eyes and the queen's distant attitude made her feel as painful as needles in her heart.

Those thrilling things in the past were not her fault as a little girl.

But she has to bear all the consequences.

Being in the palace with no one around her, the only thing she was lucky about was that her father had a relatively harmonious relationship with the current emperor, so the emperor treated her fairly well.

But this kind of "goodness" is naturally incomparable with the "goodness" of the emperor's treatment of Princess Hehui.

Many times, Shushen was extremely envious of Princess Hehui - her biological father was Prince Yi, whom the emperor relied on the most, and he often saw her in the palace.

Both her biological father and the emperor's adoptive father took great care of her.

Like Princess Hehui, holding the emperor's uncle's arm and acting coquettishly was something she could not even imagine.

Shushen stood up carefully and stood aside silently, trying hard to put a smile on her face and blend into the festive atmosphere of laughter and laughter.

She knew very well that the princesses of the Qing Dynasty almost always had one ending - marriage.

Stay away from the capital, go to get married outside the Great Wall, marry a strange man, have children, and fulfill the mission of a Qing princess in her life.

If you are lucky, maybe your husband will be younger and have a gentler temper; if you are unlucky, it is not impossible to marry an old man with white hair and beard.

Isn’t there a precedent for this in the previous dynasty?

The princess who was about to get married heard that she was marrying an old man, and her grandson was almost as old as herself, so she naturally didn't want to get married.

He cried and cried, seeking death and survival, and even went on a hunger strike in an attempt to get the emperor to change his mind.

But in the end, wasn’t he still put into the carriage?

Princess Shushen lowered her head, not daring to think any more.

She raised her eyes and looked at Hehui, with unparalleled envy in her heart - even if they were to marry each other, the Emperor and Prince Yi would definitely choose the best home for Princess Hehui.

The sky was bright and clear, and the silver plate had risen very high without realizing it. The entire Forbidden City was shrouded in a veil-like moonlight.

There is also a small platform for worshiping the moon in the front yard of Kunning Palace.

Holding incense in his hand, Yinzhen stood together with Uranala, performed a ritual of worshiping the moon amidst the clouds of incense, and then turned around and motioned for everyone to come into the hall and have a drink.

For a moment, everyone followed the emperor and empress into the back hall of Kunning Palace.

The long table covered with brocade has been set up a long time ago, with various tea fruits and platters of cold dishes placed on it. Mid-Autumn Festival red gauze palace lanterns and moon rabbit lanterns are hung in the hall. Inside and outside the hall, the lanterns and the moon shine together.

Qixi helped Ji Ling sit down, and Zhang Guiren sat under Ji Ling.

Seeing the emperor and the empress sitting down, the eunuch serving the kitchen raised his palms high and clapped his hands slightly to signal the delivery of the meal. When Yinzhen saw Princess Hehui lying between Concubine Yu and the empress, saying some witty words, he just clapped his hands and laughed.

Princess Shushen sat alone in the distance with her head bowed. She was an orphan, very pitiful.

Yinzhen sighed imperceptibly and said in a gentle voice: "Shu Shen, you don't go out often. It's a good thing to chat and laugh with your sisters and brothers today. Come and sit with your empress."

As he spoke, he turned to Su Peisheng and whispered: "Give Princess Shushen a small banquet."

Su Peisheng quickly ordered people to make arrangements. After a while, everyone saw the emperor raising his wine glass and signaling from afar, so they all respectfully picked up the cups in front of them with both hands and thanked him in unison.

After putting down the cup, Yinzhen raised his chopsticks. Seeing that the emperor finally moved his chopsticks, everyone began to eat.

Since there were two princesses and two young brothers here, the concubines couldn't help but ask questions, and the table was very lively for a while.

Ji Ling was eating food and talking to Zhang Guiren. After three drinks, he saw seven or eight eunuchs carrying a small screen. After a while, three or four musicians holding musical instruments walked quickly.

He walked in and sat shadowily behind the screen. He couldn't see the figure clearly.

It turned out that there was a banquet during the banquet, all of which were palace music. The sound of silk and bamboo orchestras was sobbing, quiet and profound.

Although Ji Ling didn't know what the music was, she found it very pleasant. For a moment, she was so fascinated by the music that she even forgot to move her chopsticks.

Queen Uranala looked around at everyone and saw what Hongli said to Yinzhen, which made Yinzhen raise his eyebrows and burst into laughter.

The emperor looked so cheerful, obviously in a very good mood at the moment.

Can't wait any longer.

Ulanara narrowed his eyes slightly, then raised his hand decisively, and Hua Rong immediately leaned over behind him.

Ulanara reached out and handed an empty wine glass in front of her to her. Using the cover of the wine glass, he turned his head and whispered a few words in Hua Rong's ear.

Hua Rong nodded imperceptibly and stepped back in small steps.

Mao Bi calmly lowered her head and drank a glass of fruit wine. Seeing this, she gently tugged on the sleeve of Concubine Qi next to her.

Uranala stood up calmly, walked up to Yinzhen with a wine glass in both hands, and said with a smile: "On this Mid-Autumn Festival, the good people are reunited, and I am filled with endless joy in my heart! May the emperor be in good health.

, May you be safe and sound every year, and may the Qing Dynasty and its people be peaceful and peaceful, and may the country be eternal and prosperous for generations to come!”

Yinzhen patted Hongli, stretched out his hand to take the wine glass, and drank it all in one gulp. Ulanala did not retreat, but just stood there and smiled softly: "I have one more thing to do. Look at the emperor today."

I am happy and want to help the emperor, but I am afraid that the emperor will blame me and I really don’t know whether to speak up or not.”

Yinzhen put down his wine glass, glanced at Uranala, his face turned pale, and he said clearly: "If you are interceding on behalf of others, there is no need."

Uranala was startled, and could not help but show a bit of embarrassment on her face. She smiled and said, "Nothing can be hidden from the emperor's eyes! I didn't want to bother the emperor, but Hai agreed."

She...she has a sincere heart."

When everyone saw the queen mentioning Haishi, they couldn't help but raise their heads and look here. Ji Ling heard Concubine Qi whispering not far away: "Why is it that Haishi again!"

Another concubine said coldly and in a low voice: "The queen is really capable of tossing things!"

Ji Ling took a slight breath after hearing this: The queen is still here, are you all so bold in what you say...

Ulanala smiled at Yinzhen and said, "Your Majesty, there is something you don't know - Hai promised to have recently learned Queen Xiao Yiren's favorite piano piece, called "Qingye Yin", which she placed on her heart.

I feel so much admiration for Empress Xiao Yiren! I accidentally heard it in the imperial garden and thought it was really good! That’s why I wanted Hai to agree to come and help the Emperor with his Mid-Autumn Festival banquet."

Yinzhen frowned slightly and said: "Qing Ye Yin?"

"Qingye Yin" is a Qin music that Empress Xiao Yiren often played during her lifetime. When Yinzhen was young, he often heard his mother playing this piece of music. Although he knew that Haishi was so flattering and invited favors in every possible way, when Yinzhen heard Ulana's

These three words in La's mouth stirred up the feeling of missing his mother in his heart.

The Queen smiled and said: "Yes, it's Qing Ye Yin. Your Majesty, anyway, there will be a banquet in the palace today, and there will be entertainment and entertainment. Everyone is used to hearing the music girls in the palace, why not change it to something fresh!"

Yinzhen said nothing, showing acquiescence.

Ulanara immediately made a gesture to the eunuch beside him.

Behind the screen, the musicians had already walked away with their harps and flutes in their arms. Not long after, another graceful female figure was seen sitting down with a lyre in her arms.

It looks vaguely like Heidegger's.

Zhang Guiren frowned, covered his mouth with a handkerchief, and said to Ji Ling in a low voice: "A centipede insect is dead but not stiff! I didn't expect that on the Ghost Festival, she would be so troubled in the imperial garden, and again.

Putting lotus lanterns and copying blood scriptures didn't impress the emperor in the end, and now this incident of playing the piano has arisen. Hai agreed, but why didn't he give up?"

Ji Ling said nothing.

I'm afraid Heidegger is not the only one who refuses to give up.

All the concubines stared at the figure behind the screen.

Haishi put the qin on the table and concentrated slightly.

In the palace, the gentle sound of the piano is heard, the palace merchants are flowing water, and the ancient charm is leisurely.

Even Ji Ling could tell - she had indeed put in a lot of effort.

Many of the concubines present here were familiar with the music. When they heard the sound of Haishi's zither, they all stopped holding cups and chopsticks and looked over sideways.

Ji Ling turned around and glanced at Yinzhen, and saw that he was still sitting on his seat, turning a quilt carelessly in his hand, seemingly completely unintentionally.

After a while, behind the screen, Heidegger suddenly began to sing in harmony with the sound of the piano: When the moon reaches the center of the sky, and the wind blows over the water. It usually means something clear, but few people know it!

As Ji Ling listened, he thought: This word is quite Zen-like - beautiful scenery on a good day, moonlit night, but it is a pity that no one can listen to it despite all the charm.

However, Yinzhen's expression changed and he slowly sat up straight. Seeing that something was wrong, Ulanara saw that something was wrong and was about to say something. Yinzhen had already slammed the wine glass on the table and said in a deep voice: "Stop!"

The sound of the piano suddenly stopped behind the screen.

Haishi stood up in panic, walked around the screen, walked quickly to the front of the screen, knelt down and said: "My concubine is poor at playing the piano and cannot embody the style of Empress Xiao Yiren. Please punish her!"

She was wearing a plain, simple robe today, and only lightly applied makeup on her face, not even her lips and cheeks.

Hei's eyebrows were already very beautiful, so the lack of bright makeup only added to her charming charm.

Yinzhen said coldly: "Let me ask you, who composed the lyrics of this song "Qingye Yin"?"
