The Biography of Concubine Xi of Yongzheng

Chapter 627
"Fourth brother, let's go, let's go to the painting boat."

A young man was leading the way, turning his head to look at the man behind him from time to time, as if he was afraid that he would not follow.This young son is Yinxiang, the thirteenth son of Long Live Lord, and the one behind him is Yinzhen, the fourth son of the emperor.

This year, Yinxiang was sixteen and Yinzhen was twenty-four.

"Thirteenth brother, is this the good thing you prepared for me?" Yinzhen pointed to the painting boat on the lake, frowning slightly.Before going up, he smelled the aroma of rouge and water powder, so he dared to bet that there must be some vulgar Yingying Yanyan hiding on this painting boat.

Yinzhen didn't care about this, turned around and wanted to leave, but Shisan grabbed his arm in time: "What is fourth brother doing? I finally came out of the palace, you can't disappoint!"

He knew that his fourth brother was heartbroken because of a brothel girl, and wanted to take him out for a walk, but he wanted to leave before he got on the boat, which really made him helpless.He has always been good at wine, but his brothers are all beautiful.He thought that the fourth brother was different, but he didn't expect that the fourth brother also fell into the gentle village.

Half a year ago, when his fourth brother made a big fuss over a brothel girl, even his empress Ama knew about it, and called him to the palace, and scolded him face to face with a half-smile, saying that he was not up to the mark, etc. , was actually fascinated by a brothel woman.

He has seen that woman before, her name is Pingniang, she is beautiful, but she looks like a confidant.If you ask him how he learned it, it's just him talking nonsense, but any woman who offends his two imperial brothers must be a confidante, since she is a concubine, it is normal for her to suffer a bad life.

"I don't know who spoiled the fun, but they just got me some vulgar fans." Yin Zhen gave him an annoyed look, then shook his hands and was about to leave.

"Hey! Hey! Fourth brother! Today is the Shangyuan Festival, and there will be a lantern festival at night! I finally went out of the palace, you must not be so disappointing!" I asked for my resignation and went out of the palace to stay for two days, so it can't just be ruined in vain.So he kept pulling Yinzhen's arm to prevent him from leaving, the tugging and pulling scene aroused the eyes of people passing by, Yinzhen had no choice but to follow him on the boat.

Above the painted boat, there are carved beams and painted buildings, decorated with lanterns and festoons.The three women in the house are all covered with light veils, and they have graceful postures. Someone is playing the piano, someone is making tea, and another person lifts the curtain for the two of them and leads them into the boathouse. It is really a fairyland on earth.

Yinzhen sneered, looked at Thirteen and sarcastically said, "I thought you were really a womanizer, but you know how to enjoy yourself."

The Pianpian young man paused, and the roots of his ears immediately became hot.He is sixteen, but he has no knowledge of human affairs. In fact, even Fourteen, who is two years younger than him, already has his own character, but he has never touched a woman.

But at fourteen, he had concubine De to care for him, but he lost his mother early on.

Shisan was not angry when he heard Yinzhen making fun of him, but pointed to one of the women and said, "She sings very well, fourth brother, do you want to listen to it? Let's listen to the little song and recite poems to the wine. Wouldn't it be wonderful to enjoy the lifelike lanterns at night!"

"Okay!" Yinzhen shook his head, Pingniang had been away from him for half a year and hadn't heard from him at all, he was still thinking about what he was doing!Now that she has found her lover, he should let her go.

"Fourth brother, we must not get drunk today!" Thirteen got carried away when he drank, and started rambling after pouring him wine...

On the shore, there are gradually more tourists, and the sun has not yet set in the west, and the merchants and tourists on the shore are already bustling and noisy.A young man led a handsome young man and stopped at a place where candied haws were sold. The young man's eyes lit up, staring at the candied haws, he licked the corner of his mouth: "Third Brother, I want to eat this!"

Her name is Yanhua, today she deliberately dressed up as a man, and sneaked out with her third brother to watch the lights.Her third brother said that there were many beautiful women at the Lantern Festival, and there were also many handsome young men. He took her to look at the suave young man while looking at the beauties.In fact, he just wanted to find someone to back him up, and he could be punished together when he went back, so that he would not be alone.Besides, Yanhua is the youngest sister in the family, and the whole family always prefers her more, so it is unknown that she might be able to save him from punishment if she cried a few tears.

Yanhua was eating candied haws, and suddenly forgot where she was.On weekdays at home, not to mention candied haws, once it offends her mother-in-law, she may not even be able to drink soup.She is at the age where she loves to eat, how could she bear such a punishment.Thinking of this, she suddenly felt remorse. If her Ama and Er Niang knew about it when she went back, she would be punished not to ride a horse and not to eat. Thinking of this, she speeded up eating candied haws, thinking that she would eat something outside. If you are full, you will be punished if you go back.

She turned her head and saw that the third brother had disappeared.She curled her lips, and wanted to stand still and wait for her third brother, but the crowd was getting bigger and bigger, and they quickly squeezed her away.She had no choice but to go to a place with fewer people and look for her third brother by the way.

"That painted boat is so beautiful, why can't the gentleman on it come down, hey, there seems to be another person inside..."

"That's right, I don't know which family's son it is, it's really embarrassing to look at..." The two said shameful, but their eyes were tightly focused on the back.

Yanhua made her way to the lake, but she heard a few women covering their faces with silk handkerchiefs, whispering something, talking about embarrassment, but their eyes kept looking at the painting boat.Seeing this, Yan Hua naturally looked over curiously.

At a glance, she saw a handsome young man standing on the stern of the boat. At that time, the boat was only two feet away from the shore of the lake. What are people talking about.When Yanhua listened to it, a voice as warm as a clear spring suddenly flowed into her heart.

"...Don't listen to the sound of Chuanlin beating leaves, why not scream and walk slowly... One must be so open-minded, so that one can live a happy life, hahahahahaha..."

That burst of hearty laughter, like a key, suddenly unlocked her ignorant heart.She muttered the poem in a daze, staring stupidly at the back who was getting more and more eye-catching for a long time, and she didn't come back to her senses until the painting boat sailed elsewhere.

The little face was flushed, and her heart was beating like a drum. She didn't know what was wrong with her, and she really wanted to get to know that young master.She ran after the painting boat along the shore of the lake, but there were too many people, and the painting boat gradually moved towards the center of the lake.Her heart fell down heavily as if being lifted up into the clouds, and a strange feeling bloomed quietly in her heart, swaying gently like a flower.

Three years later, when she was accused of going to the Sibaile Mansion, every time she heard Shisan's hearty laughter, she couldn't help but think of the back that haunted her.She never thought that that person would be Shisan, because she asked her brothers to take her to that lake several times afterwards, and even caught up with the painting boat.But she never saw that figure from behind, nor heard that kind of laughter again.

In the past three years, her voice to that person became more and more blurred, but that figure was deeply engraved in her heart like a brand.It was a flower in her ignorant years, with a swaying fragrance, waiting crazily, but in the end there was no fate.

She didn't know that when she couldn't find her third brother, let alone the figure from his back, when she was sitting on a stone by the lake and weeping, Shisan and Yinzhen had walked by her side.

"Fourth brother, look at this little guy, how can he keep crying here like a girl." Thirteen pointed at her small body and giggled, but the surrounding voices were buzzing, and they were immediately drowned out.After he got off the boat with Yinzhen, he suddenly heard someone crying when he came here, so he stopped to watch for a while, but she kept crying, Shisan couldn't help laughing out loud.Everyone else was laughing lively, but this one was crying sadly.

"It's just a child, I think he got lost with his family." Yinzhen looked around, saw the bunch of candied haws just bought in Shisan's hand, snatched it, pushed through the crowd and walked up to Yanhua, holding it in front of Yanhua Candied haws passed it over, "But you lost your family? Where do you live? I'll send someone to take you back."

At that time, Yinzhen was still a young man of flesh and blood who could cry and laugh.

Yanhua raised her head, her eyes were blurred with tears, she couldn't see what this person looked like, but she didn't look like a bad person when she saw the gorgeous clothes, so she took the bunch of candied haws unceremoniously, sobbing Said: "Thank you son, I... I will wait for my third brother, so I don't need you to send me off."

As she said that, she bit off a candied haws, and immediately smiled at him with tears in her eyes.

Yinzhen smiled and looked back at Thirteen who had just squeezed over, straightened up and stood up: "Let's go."

Thirteen nodded, and made a face at Yanhua: "The little guy is born with a face like a crown of jade, and he hasn't come home so late, but be careful not to be deceived."

As he spoke, he left with Yinzhen, and when Yanhua wiped away her tears, the two had disappeared.She muttered twice, then sniffed and ate the candied haws seriously.

If Shisanyi had known early on that this "little son" would be the one who would take his soul away in the future, then he would have asked his Huang Ama to take Yanhua early in the morning.He has a good relationship with Yinzhen, so his fourth brother will naturally not compete with him.If so, what would it be like?
Many years later, when he saw Yanhua painting the painting of the back at Yinzhen's mansion, his heart suddenly ached.For some reason, he subconsciously felt that the figure from behind was not his fourth brother.After he asked for the painting back, his heart could not be calm for a long time.He saw a detail in the painting, that is the man in the back, with a small bow tied on the braid.

He didn't know how many men in the Qing Dynasty had this habit, but before, he always liked to tie his headband into a small bow.That's because, when his mother was still alive when he was a child, every time she combed his hair, she always liked to tie the hairband like that.

He didn't fall asleep all night that day, and stared at the painting obsessively all night.The next day, after asking his fourth brother to help resign with the emperor, he drank in his own mansion for a dark night.Side Fujin Guerjia waited on him silently, without saying anything.

He knew that he shouldn't think about it.Even if that figure was him, it was already too late.

The world is unpredictable, good fortune makes people, he thought, if he could get together with her from the very beginning, he would definitely hold her in the palm of his hand, and his love will never change in this life, and his love will never change.
