However, Yinxiang patted his younger brother's back and said gently: "Listen a few more words now, and of course fourth brother will no longer care about you in a while. You always don't obey at the most important moments. You are stupid or not."
Then he pushed his younger brother forward, called his fourth brother, and asked him if he knew the difference between the horses raised here in Hangzhou and those in the capital.
Yinzhen didn't take his reprimanding to his younger brother seriously, and took them to the stables, telling them the difference between raising horses in the north and south, and letting them choose horses.
The tallest and strongest one will do. Yinzhen said that he was too small to handle him, and his younger brother immediately turned his back and became unhappy.
Yinxiang didn't want everyone to go out and have fun, so he came over and told his fourth brother that he wanted to give Fourteen the horse. Yinzhen turned around and saw his younger brother standing in front of the stable, looking at the horse longingly. He couldn't help but find it funny again, and nodded.
: "Just let someone lead the horse for a walk. Don't let it run on its own." Then he pointed to a nearby horse and said, "That one is the gentlest. Let him ride that horse and run."
Seeing his brother's promise, Yinxiang immediately ran back and told his brother. Then there was a smile on Shi Shi's face again. He was excitedly waiting for the groom to take the horse out for him, but it was clear that his brother had been standing by and said that he could not be allowed to ride out alone.
, but as soon as he sat on the saddle, he immediately clamped his legs and whipped the horse and rushed out. Yinxiang was so anxious that he wanted to call him, but he was afraid of alarming the fourth brother. But the fourteenth brother had not gone far on horseback.
A group of birds stopped on the grass. They were frightened by the sound of horse hooves and spread their wings and flew away. This time, the horse was frightened.
Yinzhen was talking to the leader of the guards about the security matters during the inspection the next day. Suddenly he heard the neighing of horses and someone screaming in surprise. He ran out and saw his fourteenth brother riding the tall horse alone. The horse was frightened and was flying high.
When he raised his front hooves, the little guy was still smart enough to hold on to the reins without letting go, but he could no longer sit still. If he jumped a few more times, he might be thrown off.
Yinzhen was anxious and angry, so he rushed over with his men. The agile groom rushed forward and pulled the reins, but he could not control the horse. If the beast was really anxious, he might rush out with his hooves raised, and then
Several guards stepped forward and tried hard to hold it back, but the horse was still struggling. Brother Fourteen was sitting high on top and wanted to jump off, but the horse's back was too high and kept shaking, so he became timid.
Any further delay may not be able to calm the frightened and irritable horse. Yinzhen got closer and shouted to his younger brother: "Jump down, fourth brother will catch you."
The fourteenth brother held the reins with one hand, fearing that he would slide off if he let go. The horse seemed to be getting more and more irritable. The fourth brother looked angry below, and it seemed that he didn't know what to do, so he was so hesitant.
After a stalemate, Yinzhen was really impatient. He rushed forward and risked being kicked by the horse's hoof. He grabbed his brother's trouser legs and scolded him to let go of the reins immediately. Shishiyi let go of his hand in a panic and was immediately kicked by his brother.
Dragging him down, he thought he was going to fall to the ground, but his brother hugged him and pushed him away. When he came to his senses, he was already standing firmly.
"You bastard, I'll deal with you when I get back." Yinzhen was furious, but there were so many people here that he wouldn't let his brother lose face in public. He only waited for the wild horse to be subdued over there before he said coldly, "Follow me."
Brother Fourteen was in shock and angry. He stayed where he was and refused to move. Yinxiang grabbed him and dragged him away with his brother. He whispered to him: "Look, don't be disobedient again. Come back, Brother Four."
You don't even want to play with us, are you willing to stay in the house?"
While talking, he went to the stable again. Yinzhen asked someone to bring out the horse he had just chosen for his younger brother. He threw his riding crop to him and said with a cold face: "Get up."
Fourteen looked unconvinced and climbed onto the horse, which was almost half a body shorter than before, but he did feel that it was more suitable for him. In his ears, he heard his brother say: "You are playing tricks on me. We have our own place to talk, but don't put this
Bring your temper to the riding and shooting. Only when you show your true skills steadily can you be convinced. Are you seated? Clamp your legs tightly and keep your center of gravity steady."
"Yes." Fourteenth responded in a muffled voice. His brother immediately took the whip on the side and slapped the horse on the butt. The horse sat down and raised its hoof in pain. Yinqi recovered and ran out of the stable. He only heard four people behind him.
Brother's voice shouted, "Clamp your legs together..."
Yinxiang was horrified and worried that something would happen to his fourteenth brother, but Yinzhen smiled: "You have been learning to ride horses since you were young. This is not a problem for him. But don't overestimate your capabilities and want to ride a big horse even though you are a little tall."
." Pointing to the side, he said, "Yinxiang, you ride that horse. The fourteenth horse is too wild. Don't chase him when you go out. Don't push him and let him run around. Just run around to loosen your muscles and bones.
.”
The thirteenth elder brother listened to his brother's words the most, so he got on his horse and ran out slowly. The groom here brought the horse to Sibeile. After Yinzhen explained some things, he also rode out, but saw the sun was flying with dust, and the two younger brothers were galloping on the school field.
Ben, Steady At that time, all of them were strong and agile, and they were all royal children worthy of being proud. Unfortunately, the space here was limited and we couldn’t fully enjoy it. Yinzhen called for people to ask a few questions, and soon everyone of his accompanying guards came with them.
With the kettle, bow, and arrows ready, Yinzhen galloped up to his two younger brothers and said loudly, "Follow me. My fourth brother will take you to run outside. The place here is too small."
After hearing this, Yinqi's eyes lit up, and what happened just now was forgotten long ago. He raised his whip and shouted joyfully: "Fourth brother, fourth brother, I'm here."
That evening, the emperor came to the courtyard where the Queen Mother lived to say hello. Concubine Hui and Tong were talking beside him. The Queen Mother remembered it and asked: "Where did Thirty-four go? I haven't seen you today. The Emperor is here."
When your wife came, I still thought they were with you and didn’t interfere."
Xuan Ye didn't know where his son had gone, so he called the people who were following his elder brother to ask, only to find out that it was Si Beile who had taken them out to play. The Queen Mother smiled leisurely and said: "The two little guys are so bored following me, but Yinzhen still hurts."
"They." He said to Xuan Ye, "We will review the garrison the next day. Take them with you. They are little guys like wild horses and they can't get enough of me here."
Xuan Ye said that he was going to take them there. After that, he chatted with the Queen Mother about the customs and customs here, and listened to Concubine Tong and Concubine Hui telling some interesting things he heard from the local officials' wives. Just as he was about to arrange dinner, there was a rumor from outside that Sibeile and
Thirty-four Brother is back.
After waiting for a while, the children arrived. They had already changed into clean homely clothes. Yinzhen saluted and said: "I should have come to greet the emperor's grandmother and the emperor's mother when I entered the door, but my sons and brothers were all in a mess.
The two ladies are here, so it would be rude, so I went to change my clothes first."
The Queen Mother motioned for Thirty-Four to sit next to her, and said with a smile: "Don't worry about these hours, but today is all in front of you. Let's have dinner together. We have been traveling for almost two months and we haven't sat down to eat together yet."
Here’s a meal.”
The brothers were naturally happy to do so, but the rare thing was that the emperor was also interested. Concubine Hui helped the queen mother prepare all the meals for her. When the dinner was ready, the emperor even praised her: "It's because of your carefulness that the queen mother can still be in good spirits after walking such a long distance."
Yiyi."
"Your Majesty, your compliments are what a concubine should do." Concubine Hui remained humble, but she was so excited that her face turned red.
The whole family is sitting down to have a meal, but the people eating together look a little strange. The eldest brother is not here, but the three sons of Yonghe Palace are there. Concubine De is thousands of miles away, and Concubine Yi is with her.
The emperor did not come to attend, only Concubine Tong and Concubine Hui sat side by side. This scene was passed down through word of mouth and spread back to the capital. I don't know what the excuse was, but it seemed true that Concubine Hui had regained the emperor's favor.
In the capital, Ba Beile rarely came back from the Forbidden City today. This time the emperor was away for longer than last time. Counting the end of last year, for most of the past six months, Beile and Fujin had been together less and away from each other. People in the palace could not help but whisper,
Prince An's palace was worried about how long it would take for Ba Beile to have an heir. However, the two masters were enjoying themselves. Naturally, they were still young, so it was not worth worrying about.
Ba Fujin arranged dinner, but his husband did not come from the study. When he came with his maid, he saw Yinsu sitting in front of the desk in a daze. He dismissed the maid and the servant came in alone, and asked gently: "What's going on?"
Yinzhu was stunned and saw that it was his wife who was coming. He smiled at her and said, "It's okay to be lost in thought."
Bafujin smiled and said: "If you don't want to tell me, I won't ask. I only have the strength to do things after eating. You haven't been back for a long time. I have nothing to do and I learned to cook a few dishes. I am also looking forward to you trying them."
taste."
Yinsu's eyes softened, he slowly stood up and approached her, took his wife's hand and walked out together. The two of them chatted and laughed and walked to the dining room, but before they could walk in the door, the servant in front of the door rushed in and said: "
Lord Beile, the prince would like you to come into the palace."
Ba Fujin frowned and said softly: "Didn't we just come back from the palace, why do we need to meet now for something important?"
Yinhu seemed to have put aside the matter of being alone in the study just now, and comforted his wife: "It's nothing. I'll be back as soon as I go. I won't go to the palace for these two days, so I can stay with you."
Ba Fujin shook his head and said, "I'm not blaming the prince for suddenly looking for you. I'm just worried that there's something important. You can just go in peace. Fortunately, I gave you a bowl of lotus seed soup when I just came in. I'm not afraid that you'll be hungry."
The couple had a tacit understanding and were considerate of each other. Bafujin hurriedly changed his husband's clothes and sent him out in person. He sighed helplessly. As he walked back, he inexplicably remembered that several aunts from his maternal grandfather's house had come to him a few days ago and asked himself why.
There was no movement in her stomach. She asked a doctor to see if she could not have children. He even said that if she couldn't, it would be better to send someone selected from the palace to serve Ba Beile. In short, it would be better to give birth to a boy and a girl as soon as possible.
Thinking about it at this moment, Bafujin felt a little irritated. Although the couple was living a good life, there was always someone who wanted to get in the way. Although he was considerate of her husband's helplessness in coming and going, he was not in a good mood. He suddenly got angry and ordered
People around me said: "From now on, when anyone comes to Prince An's Mansion, I will disappear."
In the deep palace, Lan Qi was reading under the lamp the letter from Xuan Ye that had just been sent to the palace in the evening. She was still reading it over and over again. Huan Chun came to ask when the meal was going to be served. By the way, she said, "I heard that the Eighth Prince is returning to Japan today."
Those who were resting in the mansion suddenly entered the palace again and went straight to Yuqing Palace."
Lan Qi said indifferently, put down the letter, smiled at Huanchun and asked, "What do you think Long Live the Lord said?"
Huan Chun couldn't guess, so Lan Qi laughed: "Your Long Live Master said that he scolded the officials who presented him with beauties and did not bring them back to the palace this time. For this matter, what do you think he has to say?"
Are you proud?"
Huan Chun continued: "Then why did the empress read the letter and smile as pretty as a flower?"
