Concubine De was always smiling, but on the surface it was not possible to see her happiness or anger.

But now that the grudge in her heart is gone, her smile is naturally more genuine.

"It's hard for you to think so thoughtfully." Concubine De said: "Actually, you don't need to come here, but I'm bothering you to worry about these children."

Shun Anyan: "Your Majesty often said that relatives should take care of each other, and my grandfather has always taken your Majesty's words to heart. What we are doing now, from a relative point of view, should be like this. From a logical point of view, the emperor has a will, so naturally

It’s time to take a quick trip.”

The two of them exchanged pleasantries and said a few more words.

Seeing that the matter was done, Shun Anyan was ready to leave.

He watched Concubine De and Sifu Jin leave first, then turned around and planned to leave the palace.

Unexpectedly, after just a few steps out of the house, someone called me from behind.

"Are you the young master of the Tong Guowei family?" The visitor put his hands behind his hands and looked him up and down: "You look familiar to me, and your facial features vaguely resemble those of an emperor."

The young man who spoke was about thirteen or fourteen years old. He had beautiful facial features and a very good appearance. However, he looked very arrogant. At first glance, it seemed that he had never suffered any grievances since he was a child.

The uncle of Emperor Kangxi was Tong Guowei.

Based on this calculation, it is normal for the emperor and Shun Anyan to have slightly similar looks.

It's just that the young man's words are exaggerated at the moment. No matter what, the appearance of Shun Anyan and Emperor Kangxi are still somewhat different, and there is nothing similar.

Shun Anyan knew in his heart that this person probably knew who he was, so he used the fact that he was related to Emperor Kangxi just to talk to him.

Shun Anyan had already vaguely guessed his identity based on his age and appearance.

But he did not say it directly, but asked: "Who are you? And how do you know what the emperor looks like?"

"Everyone in the palace should have seen the emperor." The visitor stood with his hands behind his hands and said proudly, "What's more, I am his son, so I know better."

After saying that, the young man coughed and became more and more proud: "I am Brother Jiu. Just call me Master Jiu."

Shun Anyan smiled.

There is not much age difference between the two, and Yinzhen is slightly younger than him. Even so, Yinzhen's aloof appearance seems to be a generation older than him, and he wants him to obey.

Shun Anyan thought this young man was interesting, so he raised his hand and called "Jiuye".

Yinzhen's eyes suddenly lit up, and he felt that this person was easy to get along with. Then he bluntly stated the purpose of his visit: "A few days ago, I asked someone to help me buy a shop from outside. It was originally planned, but I couldn't leave the palace, so it was delayed.

Some time later. Who would have thought that when I asked someone to send money to me after a while, the owner said that the shop had been sold to your Tong Jia family. Is that what happened? "

Shun Anyan didn't know these things.

However, he was surprised that Yinzhen would actually think about doing business. That was all, because Yinzhen actually told him this directly.

Shun Anyan thought quickly in his mind and said slowly: "I don't know much about these things about the family business. It's not my turn to support the family business yet, so the elders won't talk to me about this. Master Jiu

If you want to know, I can go back and ask for help."

"Forget it, forget it." When Yinzhen heard that he had to go back and ask, he became impatient: "Those old guys are all very slick. I don't want them to know about my purchase of the shop."

The princes who are still in the palace buy shops privately, it is a big deal or a small matter to tell them.

As long as the emperor doesn't mind, that's it. If he really does, the severe punishment will be enough for him to eat.

Shun Anyan naturally knew.

But seeing that Yinzhen specifically sought him out to talk about this matter, he thought that the shop was quite important to Yinzhen.

"Master Jiu, just wait for me for a few days." Shun Anyan hesitated and said, "Tell me which shop it is, and I'll ask around. I'll get back to you when I get the letter."

Yinzhen became happy: "That's good."

"It's just that I'm very confused about something, and I would like to ask Master Jiu to clarify it." Shun Anyan asked with a slight smile: "Since Master Jiu is afraid that the emperor will know about this matter, and he is also afraid that my elders will know about it, how can he find it?

Come to me and tell me this frankly?"

Yinzhen was in a good mood and naturally answered his question generously: "When I wanted that shop a few days ago, my Bago said that if I wanted to find someone to ask about the situation, I could come to you. At that time, I was too lazy to talk to your family.

I didn’t ask anything about it, so this happened.”

Yinzhen sighed: "I remembered what Bago told me before he left, so I asked you to find out. Bago said that you are a gentleman and your words are the most reliable. I would be more reliable if I asked you."

Shun Anyan understood now that the ninth elder brother seemed to listen to the eighth elder brother.

In fact, what Ba Age said before was that you can ask him to help you inquire about the store. This was not a big deal at first. It was just "I asked because I was curious". It didn't matter if I asked him.

But Brother Jiu has now revealed all such big things as buying a shop to him...

It must not be the result that Eighth Prince wants to see.

It can only be said that Brother Ninth takes the words of Brother Eight very seriously, and will think of them at any time when he needs to use them.

It means that the eighth prince is not in the palace now.

If the eighth elder brother really knew that the ninth elder brother had used his words in such a situation, he might be so angry that he would jump up.

Shun Anyan is currently not sure whether to tell the adults at home about this matter.

He only asked Brother Jiu's words first, kept them in his mind, and asked him about the shop later, and then considered whether to discuss it with his family based on the importance of the situation.

After all, Yinzhen grew up in the palace. He had not left the palace yet and had no idea what the outside world was like.

Now that he was young after all, his thoughts were relatively simple. He just thought he was the true son of Tong Jia's family. He became happy, thanked him, and agreed to meet in the palace in a few days before leaving.

Shun Anyan hurried away with his heart full of worries.

After Luo Jianing and Concubine De left, they did not return to Yonghe Palace.

Now that the banquet was about to begin, as the organizers, they naturally did not want to arrive too late. The two of them rushed directly to the place where the banquet was being held.

Seeing that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were belatedly arriving, someone naturally asked where Concubine De and Sifujin had gone.

Everything in the palace cannot be concealed.

Some people who were well-informed simply made their words clear: "I heard that someone is coming to Tong Jia's family? Are you looking for Sifujin?"

Today the Seventh Princess holds a birthday banquet.

Although few concubines from the palace came over when the girls were playing around, but now it was time for dinner, so everyone came one after another.

There is no way, this is the birthday of the emperor's daughter. As a concubine, you must give honor to the emperor and support his daughter.

Now, the table where Concubine De is sitting is basically composed of concubines with relatively high status in the palace.

There is only one empty seat, which is Concubine Yi's seat.

I don’t know where Concubine Yi went, but the seat was empty but no one was there.

Concubine De was too lazy to take care of Concubine Yi.

After listening to the words of the concubines around her, she was in a very good mood now when she talked about the visit from Tong Jia's family. She answered directly: "Tong Jia's family is worried about Si Fujin. I don't know what Si Fujin's current health condition is. Is it okay with the emperor?"

I came here specifically to see Luo Jianing."

Everyone was surprised.

"The emperor asked his family members to come visit Sifujin?" It was Concubine Hui who spoke, with a strong tone of reluctance, and chuckled: "Sifujin is so proud. The one who fell into the water is obviously the seventh princess, Your Majesty

It was Sifujin that Tong Jia's family came to see."

After Concubine Hui finished speaking, she took a handkerchief to cover the corners of her smiling lips, obviously meaning something.

The people around me generally understood.

What Concubine Hui meant was that it was obviously the Seventh Princess who fell into the water, and Sifujin was just a rescuer. However, the Emperor asked Tong Jia's family to come and see Sifujin instead, not the Seventh Princess who fell into the water, and not the Seventh Princess who was born today.

.

This is telling Concubine De that your daughter-in-law has stolen all the limelight from your daughter.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Concubine Hui's words are obviously trying to sow discord between Concubine De and Sifujin's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

After everyone thought it over, they secretly looked at Concubine De's face.

However, after Concubine De met Shun Anyan just now, she knew that the emperor was asking Tong Jia's family to be the backers of Sifu Jin, so naturally she didn't mind Concubine Hui's words.

You must know that the emperor's move was to hope that Concubine Yi would be more at peace and not have Si Fujin's ideas.

The most important purpose is to protect Brother Hui.

Honghui is still so young.

Concubine De is also happy that her own grandson will be loved by more people, so it doesn't matter if the fourth daughter-in-law is protected by Tong Jia's family, which is quite good.

Now facing Concubine Hui's provocation, Concubine De didn't show any sign of being angry. Instead, she responded with a smile: "The fourth daughter-in-law has a good temper and does things properly. It's normal for Tong Jia's family to like her."

With just one or two sentences, Concubine Hui was immediately silenced.

Concubine Hui's fingers holding the handkerchief stiffened, she raised her eyes and glanced at Concubine De quickly, then quickly lowered her head.

...I didn’t expect that Concubine De would be such a generous person now.

And Concubine De obviously protects Sifujin very much.

Last year at this time, Concubine De was still ignoring Fourth Elder Brother. Occasionally in public, Concubine De would look down on Fourth Elder Brother and use words that contained both gun and stick.

How come she and Sifujin's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are so close now that they are like mother and daughter?!
