Chapter 51 Chapter 51(1/3)
A few days after entering the palace to express gratitude, the day came for Emperor Kangxi to go on a personal expedition.
Yinzhen had to leave early in the morning. Luo Jianing got up before dawn, watched him put on his clothes, and had breakfast with him.
While Yinzhen was eating, he couldn't help but murmur:
"If you are bored living in the palace, you can talk to your mother and concubine and go for a walk outside."
"Your mother has gone on an expedition with you, and only your mother is at home, so you have less worries, and it's okay to come and go occasionally."
"Brother Hui is still young and sleeps a lot. You don't have to watch him all the time. You can take a break often to avoid being too tired from taking care of him."
Luo Jianing listened to them one by one, occasionally responding, but not all of them.
The emperor is not in court, and the prince oversees the country.
In the harem, the four concubines jointly manage the affairs of the six palaces.
Luo Jianing is the daughter-in-law of Concubine De, so she does have a great advantage. As long as Concubine De agrees, she can leave the palace at any time. As long as she does not show her face under the banner of Sifujin.
However, she did not agree to go to see her mother at home.
The two parents are cautious, but they just hope that everyone in the family will be safe and not be suspected by the emperor.
So whether the emperor is in the imperial city or not, their actions must be consistent. They cannot go back to see their mother as soon as the emperor leaves.
In this case, it would appear that the Ulanala family was doing one thing openly and another secretly. It would also make the emperor more suspicious.
It's better to follow the previous practice and not interact frequently. This can ensure that everyone is safe.
Yinzhen told him everything, but still felt uneasy, so he took out a piece of paper from his arms and wrote several names on it.
"These are the names of a few people who are close to me." He said: "If anything happens to you and it's difficult for the palace people to come forward, just go to them."
Luo Jianing glanced at the paper.
Then my heart skipped a beat.
He really trusted her.
He actually gave her a few people on his list of trusted people.
"Thank you, Fourth Master." Luo Jianing knew that this was really a way to rip out someone's heart, so she said sincerely: "I won't go to them unless I have to. But if there is anything important, I will definitely go to them.
They will definitely not let anything happen to Brother Hui and me."
Yinzhen knew that she meant what she said and said with a smile: "With you here, this family will definitely be fine."
Farewell was imminent, and he was reluctant to leave.
But no matter how reluctant you are to leave, there will always be a parting.
After breakfast, it's still dark.
Under the light of the lantern he raised, Yinzhen hesitated for a while, then finally sighed, touched his wife's head and his son's head, and then resolutely turned around and got on the sedan.
He had to go to the palace to meet the emperor and other princes, and then set off from the palace together. He had to leave at this time, otherwise he would not be able to make the trip in time.
Luo Jianing watched his sedan go away.
Lu Mei murmured beside her: "How do you think, my slave, that Fourth Master wants Fujin to go with you?" It was when he hesitated to speak, as if he had thousands of words to say, but in the end he still didn't say anything.
.
"How do you say this?" Cuiying asked casually.
She was helping to coax her little brother, and her eyes never fell on the fourth master, so she didn't notice.
In her opinion, her most important master is Fujin, and then her little brother.
As for the fourth master, there are so many people around him taking care of him, and she is not lacking.
Lu Mei said: "Think about it, Fujin can also go to the palace with Fourth Master. Then Fourth Master leaves, and then we take Fujin's things into the palace to accompany Fujin."
She counted on her fingers: "If Fujin leaves with the fourth master at this time, then the fourth master can still be with Fujin before he leaves the palace. Wouldn't it be possible to spend more time together?"
She felt that her guess was correct.
What Fourth Master just wanted to say or not was because he was thinking about this.
After hearing this, Cuiying blocked her back with a few words: "If this is really the case, does the fourth master have to not tell Fujin? We are an old married couple and have children, so what else can the fourth master avoid?"
She felt that Fu Jin was the best Fu Jin in the world. He was gentle and kind. It was impossible for Fourth Master to be afraid of Fujin, so there was no reason to hide his thoughts.
Lu Mei tilted her head and thought for a while, feeling that what Cui Ying said made sense, but there was something wrong with it. But she couldn't tell what was wrong for a while, so she could only nod in agreement.
Si Fujin got up too early today, two or three hours earlier than usual.
The waiter knew that she wouldn't be able to bear it like this, so he coaxed her to sleep for a while.
It was estimated that it was almost time for the emperor to lead his troops out of the city. They called Si Fujin up again, quickly washed themselves up, and waited near the gate.
The emperor's personal expedition was a grand event, and the streets were empty of people when they left the city. Today is no exception.
Luojia was the prince Fujin, so naturally she couldn't show her face. But she took a sedan and stopped at the entrance of the alley next to the mansion. She opened the curtains of the sedan and looked out. It was okay.
Luo Jianing stared outside.
"Coming, coming!" Su Peisheng ran over from a distance, shouting and waving: "Go to the front, go to the front."
The little eunuch carrying the sedan quickly carried Fujin to the front.
The emperor and the princes rode on horseback with a majestic attitude.
People around were cheering and shouting.
Luo Jianing discovered that the person next to Emperor Kangxi was not the eighth prince Yinsu, but the thirteenth prince Yinxiang. The other one was the third prince Yinzhi.
As for Yinzhen...
He was walking side by side with Yinsu, in the row behind Yinxiang.
Luo Jianing knew that the fourth elder brother had always been very tolerant in the early stage and never came forward. So it was not surprising at all to see him lined up behind the third elder brother at this time.
But An Fu, who was standing next to him, sighed with regret: "I heard from Eunuch Gao that the fourth master was originally highly valued by the emperor. It's just that the fourth master often recommended other brothers in front of the emperor, which obscured his own splendor."
"What do you know?" Su Peisheng folded his hands and said leisurely: "Fourth Master is a model of brotherhood and brotherly respect. The Emperor knows it well."
Luo Jianing glanced at Su Peisheng.
She is worthy of being the most powerful person in front of Emperor Yongzheng, Concubine Su.
As expected, he really understands Fourth Master’s heart.
During this trip, Yinzhen took Gao Wuyong to accompany him, but left the clever Su Peisheng behind to take care of Fujin.
For him now, his wife and daughter-in-law are more important than himself. With Su Peisheng taking care of him at home, he feels more at ease.
The sun is rising.
Luo Jianing faced the sun and looked at the tall and straight figure on the horse with half-squinted eyes.
Suddenly the door opened, and Yinzhen, who was on horseback, suddenly turned his head and looked towards this place.
His eyes were so sharp and focused. Luo Jianing was in a trance, and she actually felt that he was looking at her.
But it's so far away and it's impossible.
When she was confused and wanted to look away, she saw that his eyes softened instantly, and he even smiled slightly.
The fourth elder brother is unparalleled in his purity, and he is also upright and noble. He smiles like this, causing the women around him to exclaim with joy.
Emperor Kangxi noticed the commotion around him and looked back at his sons: "What happened just now?"
The eighth prince immediately answered: "Brother Four Emperors just looked towards the crowd."
Before setting off, Emperor Kangxi specifically told his sons not to look around to avoid being talked behind their backs by the people.
At this time, Emperor Kangxi showed a hint of displeasure after hearing what Eighth Prince said.
He just glanced at the crowd, and the frown he had just frowned suddenly opened up.
"It's strange that the Fourth Brother is so worried about where he is." Emperor Kangxi laughed loudly: "His wife is right there!"
The eighth elder brother did not expect that the fourth elder brother was looking at Si Fujin, so he was speechless and ran out of words to continue.
On the other hand, the thirteenth elder brother in front of them laughed loudly: "Fourth brother and fourth sister-in-law have always had a good relationship. Only fourth sister-in-law can make fourth brother forget the rules like this. I have to take a look."
Emperor Kangxi: "That's right. Every time something happens about Luo Jianing, Yinzhen gets extremely nervous. This time she gave birth to a big fat boy for the fourth child, and the fourth child is even more nervous about her."
The thirteenth elder brother and his father were chatting and laughing, and talking about interesting things about the fourth elder brother and his wife.
The third elder brother looked back at the eighth elder brother.
The eighth prince rubbed his back teeth and forced a smile.
It was clearly meant to let the emperor know about the fourth elder brother's unruly remarks, but it was reversed into the fourth elder brother's pampering of his wife... The eighth elder brother saw it with his eyes and ears, and just found it annoying.
I could only force myself to smile and say, "Fourth brother is really a good husband."
The Thirteenth Brother looked back at him: "My Eighth Brother will also become a good husband."
The eighth prince was startled.
Indeed, given his age, he is almost ready to get married, which will only happen within the next two years.
To be continued...
