Just when Prince Yong began to accompany the emperor in and out of the imperial study, the courtiers began to make new moves.

Many ministers still think that the Eighth Prince is the most astute prince, very reliable in everything he does, and they still give advice to the Eighth Prince.

After all, in their eyes, the eighth master, a gentle and courteous corporal, was a rare and elegant person. In order to have such a gentle emperor in the future, they worked hard to praise their eighth master in front of the emperor.

Emperor Kangxi was furious.

He naturally knows what kind of person the eighth prince is in private, and also knows how hypocritical the eighth prince is usually.

But when the Eighth Prince showed his flaws, they basically involved some private royal matters. Emperor Kangxi could not let these private matters be known to outsiders, and he could not tell outsiders the true character of the Eighth Prince who was involved.

After going back and forth, when the ministers saw that the emperor could not tell "what was wrong" with Eighth Prince, but was kept speechless by them again and again, they became more and more certain that Eighth Prince had not committed any heinous crimes.

matter.

At the very least, in their opinion, the eighth prince was just misunderstood by the emperor. Once the father and son resolve their overnight feud, their eighth prince will still have a chance to aspire to the crown prince throne.

Among them, Li Guangdi, an important minister trusted by Emperor Kangxi, was the most active.

Li Guangdi is now in his seventies and is already very old. In the early years, he submitted his resignation to the emperor several times but the emperor failed to accept it. Later, it was found that he was indeed old and frail, so he was allowed to return to his hometown.

This year Li Guangdi returned to Beijing again. Emperor Kangxi thought that this veteran minister was here to reminisce with him, and he was very happy. But what happened was beyond his expectation.

Li Guangdi actually came here for the eighth prince Yinsu.

In front of all the courtiers, Emperor Kangxi suppressed his dissatisfaction and did not reprimand Li Guangdi in public. When he returned to the imperial study room, he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart and said "Pa"

He fell onto the table and was furious: "That Li Guangdi is simply arrogant and arrogant! He is arrogant and arrogant! Seeing how well I treat him, he tests my bottom line again and again! He actually wants to plead for Yinhu!"

Emperor Kangxi pointed in the direction of the eighth prince's mansion and was furious: "A person like Yinsu is worthy of being a prince? What do they think? What do Li Guangdi think? He actually wants me to appoint an unfaithful and unfilial person as the prince."

Prince! Delusion!"

The emperor is also old, and has been suffering from a series of illnesses over the years. After getting angry, he was out of breath, and his whole body could not breathe smoothly.

Yinzhen quickly helped Emperor Kangxi sit down, and stroked his back to calm his breath: "Huang Ama doesn't need to argue with those people. They want to fight for the eighth brother, let them go. Huang Ama just praises the eighth brother.

That is, they are just pedantic ministers who are dim-sighted. If you care about them, you will lower your status."

"Yes. He is old-sighted and pedantic! Li Guangdi is so old-sighted that he can't see people clearly!" Emperor Kangxi was angry and angry: "It's a waste of all my love for him, he is so wasteful!"

Yinzhen followed his intention and said, "Yes. He is blind."

"Yes! You are blind!" Emperor Kangxi said angrily.

As he gets older, he likes to talk about some things over and over again.

Yinzhen didn't think there was anything wrong with his father talking back and forth like this. He patiently accompanied Emperor Kangxi and "reprimanded" Li Guangdi with Emperor Kangxi over and over again.

Although Li Guangdi was not present at the scene, Emperor Kangxi finally vented the frustration in his heart after saying it many times, and he felt much better.

"It's you who know my thoughts." After Emperor Kangxi's anger calmed down a little, he complained less about Li Guangdi: "I understand that he is a loyal minister, and I also know that he wants to be good for me and the good of the country. But

He really doesn’t know many of the reasons.”

He is talking about Li Guangdi.

Emperor Kangxi was getting older, and seeing the courtiers who had grown up with him getting older one by one, he felt more pity for these old ministers in his heart.

He asked himself, he was already suffering from the symptoms of "old eyesight", not to mention those veteran ministers who were not as good as him? That's all, he just didn't care about them.

After all, Emperor Kangxi did not pursue Li Guangdi's fault for "speaking nonsense" in the court, and instead found an excuse to send Li Guangdi and the others away.

These ministers also accepted it as soon as they saw fit.

Although they very much hope that the emperor will appoint a heir as soon as possible, the Queen Mother has just passed away less than a year ago. It is okay for them to briefly propose to the emperor, but if they press too hard, it will appear that they do not care about the national mourning ceremony.

However, after this incident, Emperor Kangxi became more and more convinced that the fourth among the children was the most considerate and understanding of his thoughts.

The sons next to him are all inferior to the fourth child.

In summer, the weather gets hotter and hotter.

On this day, Luo Jianing received an invitation from Guo Luo Luo, saying that her shop had a new batch of good tea, and invited Princess Yong to her shop to taste tea.

Luo Jianing declined.

In the afternoon of that day, Mr. Guo Luoluo paid a visit and came to the palace in person to invite Luo Jianing to her shop: "I really have a lot of good things in my shop, but I can't bring them all at the same time. I have to ask Fujin to help me."

Let’s take a look at which one is good and which one is not good. I’m not very good at these elegant things, so it’s up to you, sister.”

"It's not that I don't want to go." Luo Jianing said hesitantly: "It's actually not good for me to go to your store rashly during this period."

It stands to reason that Luo Jianing should not walk around other people's houses at will when she is not out of mourning period. This is what she told Guo Luoluo.

Recently, except for walking back and forth between Prince Yong's Mansion and the palace, and occasionally going to Zhang Tingyu's place to pick up the children, she basically didn't go anywhere else. Even for matters in the shop, the shopkeepers sent the account books to the mansion.

Then she came to check it out. Unless something big happened in the store, she rarely went to the store.

But Guo Luoluo smiled and said she was pedantic: "You and I are sisters. Since we are sisters, what will happen if you come to my shop? Besides, there are no lights or colorful decorations in my shop. You

Now that I’m here, I won’t feel sorry for the Queen Mother.”

Mentioning the amiable old man, Guo Luoluo couldn't help but burst into tears: "...I can't help her. She was kind to me back then, but it's a pity that I repaid her kindness with revenge and always made her angry. If I hadn't been so naughty, she would have been less angry.

Maybe we can survive it for a while longer.”

Luo Jianing said softly: "Didn't the Imperial Grandmother tell you that she won't care about the wrong things you did in the past years? She will do what she says, and she will do what she says. Since the Imperial Grandmother doesn't care about it, you can do it as well.

Don’t blame yourself for being reckless at that time.”

Guo Luoluo felt increasingly uncomfortable, so Luo Jianing sat with her in the room for a while.

However, after the two of them talked about it, there was no question of "can it be done". Luo Jianing finally agreed and took the time to go to Guo Luo Luo's tea shop tomorrow.

"That's right." Guo Luoluo smiled and said, "In the past, my sister loved to walk around. Now it's time for her to take a walk."

After Mr. Guo Luoluo left with an uneasy look in his eyes, Luo Jianing reacted belatedly.

——It turns out that Mr. Guo Luoluo was afraid that she would be in a bad mood, so he invited her to play in the shop. Just when she was worried about the fifth princess, Mr. Guo Luoluo was worried about her.

Luo Jianing couldn't help but feel in a good mood, and went to Anfu to give instructions: "Please ask someone to prepare some good gifts for me. It doesn't need to be a spectacle, the most important thing is to be practical. No matter what, the materials used must be the best.

"When she goes to Guo Luo Luo's shop tomorrow, she will take it to Guo Luo Luo.

Anfu took the order and left.

The next day, Luo Jianing took half a car of things to Guo Luoluo's tea shop.

It was almost noon when she arrived, and Mrs. Guo Luoluo came to greet her in person. Seeing a steady stream of people moving things down on the cars, Mrs. Guo Luoluo was also stunned.

"How can my sister be so polite to me?" Guo Luoluo said angrily: "I invited my sister here just to catch up with old times. It's good for my sister that she actually moved so many things here, making it look like I wanted to

It’s like these things made you come here.”

Luo Jianing smiled and pulled her into the house: "Why are you angry with me? There are too many things in my house, so I will keep them. What I brought you are just some ordinary things, all for food.

It can be used daily.”

Guo Luoluo knew that Sifujin had the kind of temperament that she would pay back if you treated her well. When she saw Zhenzhen being invited, she was so happy that she brought all the good things.

Guo Luoluo also knew that Si Fujin was doing it for her own good, but she really just wanted Si Fujin to come over and relax, so she specially invited him. Now that he came, she felt a little embarrassed.

Luo Jianing persuaded her hard: "Your life is getting better and better. When your business is prosperous and truly prosperous in a while, won't you give me more good things?"

Guo Luoluo sighed and nodded.

Just when Guo Luoluo's mood calmed down for a while, there was a knock on the door from the shopkeeper: "Boss, the gangster we caught before has woken up. Do you want to go over and take a look?"

Luo Jianing was greatly surprised: "Gangster? What gangster?"

"Oh, look at my memory!" Guo Luoluo slapped his forehead: "They came over just now to report to me that a man was sneaking around outside the shop, so they beat him unconscious with a stick, tied him up, and threw him away.

Woodshed. When they told me, someone happened to report that my sister had arrived. When I saw my sister, I was so happy that I forgot about that person for a while."

After that, Guo Luoluo stood straight and said to Si Fujin: "Come on, sister, let's go over and see. What kind of gangster is so bold and dares to run wild on my territory!"

The two of them then walked hand in hand towards the woodshed.

Guo Luoluo's shop occupies no larger area than those in Sifujin. This tea shop has only one room in the front for entertaining guests and two rooms in the back. One is a temporary resting place for the workers and the other is a warehouse.

The woodshed is called a "room", but it's not really a serious house. It's just a small space in the corner of the yard where firewood and other burning items are placed. It's open-air, with only three so-called walls, and only some turning heads.

When they are built up, they are only as tall as a teenage boy. The open side is facing the direction of the yard and is clearly visible at a glance.

Several people walked to the front of the woodshed, and from a distance, Luo Jianing saw what was inside the woodshed through the open side - a person seemed to be moving on top of a pile of firewood for cooking.

Only his movements were very gentle, and he was rubbing the back of his neck, as if that place was hurting.

Luo Jianing vaguely felt that the man looked familiar, and asked hesitantly: "...Li Youjie? Are you Li Youjie?"

Li Wei was holding the back of his neck that was aching for a while. After hearing the voice, he looked up in confusion: "Where is this?" and asked, "Who are you?" but did not look over.

Because the hit on his neck was so painful, he didn't want to move his neck yet.

The other party didn't answer.

Li Wei could only look over there, but he saw that the two women in front of him were both whom he had met before, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed: "My two benefactors, it turns out to be you! Make it easy for me to find them."

As he spoke, he endured the pain in his body and stuttered out the story of his coming here.

It turned out that Li Wei had just filled the vacancy in the Ministry of War in the past two days.

While he was walking in high spirits on the streets of the capital, he was still thinking about the women's family members who had spoken kindly to each other in the past few days, and thought that if he saw them in the future, he would definitely thank them again in person.
