Chapter 18 Chapter 18 "Yinsi, let go of your brother's...

" "Yinsi, let go of your brother's hand!"

Wen Shan came into the room with a bowl of freshly made ice and saw Yinzhen and Yinsi lying on the bed. Yinsi was holding Yinzhen's hand and blinking his big eyes with an innocent look.

"It's okay, mother Xuan. It doesn't hurt because my brother is just teething." Yinzhen said seriously.

Since Yinzhen returned to Xianfu Palace, Wen Shan found that he doted on Yinsi even more. He allowed him everything and had no regrets about being used as a teething stick.

"That won't do either." Wen Shan stepped forward to free Yinzhen's hand, "I made so many things for him to grind his teeth, and this little brat will make trouble for me. "

Washing Yinzhen's hands with a handkerchief, Wenshan pushed the ice bowl in front of Yinzhen for him to taste. Yinsi's appetite has become stronger and stronger since he started to grow teeth. Seeing his fourth brother eating so deliciously, his saliva was about to flow down. "

Little glutton!" Wenshan wiped his saliva, "In two months, you can eat some complementary food, don't worry."

Yinsi was angry. He was not a glutton. This was the instinct of the body and he couldn't resist it!

Zhenzhu and Amber came in with a few kites. The weather was good and the wind was good today. Wenshan planned to take Yinzhen and Yinsi out for a walk and fly kites as a spring outing. She got up early in the morning and made a lot of cakes and put them in the food box to take with her.

Zhenzhu and others packed their things neatly while chatting with Wenshan about the recent gossip in the palace.

After Niuhuru became the master of the harem, she began to rectify the six palaces. The first one to confront her was Huipin.

Huipin got Kangxi considered himself the winner of the Tongjia Imperial Concubine incident, but in the end, the peach was picked by Niuhuru. She dared to sue Tongjia Imperial Concubine directly, not to mention Niuhuru, who had just entered the palace and was a concubine.

So the harem was openly divided into two factions, one led by Niuhuru and the other led by Huipin. Most of the Niuhuru faction were from high-born families but had shallow roots, while Huipin's faction was composed of old people in the palace, with princes and princesses.

The two sides fought fiercely. Niuhuru relied on her youth, beauty and freshness, while Huipin relied on her Concubine Yi relied on their years of affection and children. For a while, they were evenly matched.

Of course, there was a third faction in the harem that stayed out of the fight, such as Concubine Yi, Concubine Rong and Concubine De.

Concubine Yi and her cousin, Noble Lady Guo Luoluo, formed their own faction. The two sisters had a prince and a princess, and this alliance brought by blood was very strong. Concubine Rong gave birth to the most sons and daughters, but she did not depend on anyone. Although Concubine De was of a lower birth, she gave birth to two princes and her foundation became more and more solid.

And just when Niu Hulu and Concubine Hui were fighting each other, Concubine De was pregnant again. .

Now both sides were a little silent. Depin gave birth to Yinzhen in the 17th year of Kangxi's reign, Yinzuo in the 19th year, and now she is pregnant with her third child. According to the date, she should give birth next year, in the 21st year of Kangxi's reign.

Huipin didn't think it was a big deal. After all, she had Kangxi's eldest son, the eldest prince Yinzhen, who was once favored. She didn't care much about the pregnancy of concubines like Depin who would not affect the status of the eldest prince. Moreover, although Rongpin, who entered the palace at the same time as her, only had Princess Rongxian and the third prince, she gave birth to five sons and one daughter. With Rongpin around, The former Depin was only pregnant with her third child, which was nothing in her eyes.

Niu Hulu was so angry that her teeth itched. This Depin usually tried to please

everyone without showing off, but when she looked closely, she had given birth to three children. Kangxi's attitude towards the harem was completely in line with the four words "rain and dew are equally treated". He did not show any favoritism to any of the concubines. If you insist on saying that Kangxi particularly favored a concubine, it would be the confined Concubine Tong Jia. However, even with such favoritism, he still kept her confined and practicing without blinking an eye. Many concubines secretly sighed behind the scenes that the emperor's heart was indeed deep. Unpredictable.

When Concubine De got pregnant again, Kangxi only rewarded her according to the usual practice and visited her from time to time. Concubine De was gentle and considerate, and the Sixth Prince was smart and cute at that time. So when Niuhuru and Concubine Hui temporarily stopped fighting, they saw that the place Kangxi often went to was Yonghe Palace.

Wen Shan was eating melons and praising them again and again. These two were really fighting fiercely. When she turned

around, she saw that her house had been robbed. Yinsi listened with relish. When he heard Zhenzhu say that Concubine De was pregnant again, Yinsi couldn't help but look at Yinzhen on the side. Yinzhen didn't react much and was concentrating on winding the kite string. .

After listening to the recent gossip in the palace, Wen Shan packed up her things, and happily went out holding Yinzhen's hand and pushing Yinsi's hand.

The flowers in the imperial garden were almost in bloom at this time, with colorful flowers and birds singing. Looking at the endless green grass, Wen Shan felt much more cheerful.

Yinzhen was eager to try to fly the kite, and Wen Shan taught him step by step. Baoquan and Zhenzhu cheered for them. They were having fun. Yinzhen failed several times and the kite didn't get discouraged. He tried again and again. Starting from the beginning, Wen Shan looked at his newly grown braids swinging back and forth, looking so cute.

Yinsi's rocking bed was placed in a pavilion to avoid being exposed to the sun, and Feicui stayed there to look after him. Yinsi bit his finger and watched Yinzhen and Wen Shan playing happily, thinking sadly that he must grow up quickly! It

was really boring to lie in the rocking bed all the time.

Fuqi was carefully taken care of by Yinzhen for a few days and regained his former liveliness. Today, he followed Yinzhen out and ran around on the grass. Wen Shan brought him some toys and threw him a ball to play with. "

Master, Concubine De seems to be coming over from over there. "Zhenzhu turned her head and saw that Depin was leading the Sixth Prince and several servants coming from the lotus pond in the distance, and she quickly reminded Wenshan.

Yinzhen and Baoquan were flying kites and didn't notice the movement here.

Wenshan glanced at Depin and it seemed that she was taking Yinzuo to the lotus pond to feed the fish. The group stopped by the lotus pond and Depin squatted down to wipe the sweat off Yinzuo's face. The mother and son said something and looked like a loving mother and a filial son.

Depin suddenly looked up and made eye contact with Wenshan. Wenshan nodded at her and Depin retracted her gaze and continued to feed the fish with Yinzuo.

The two of them understood each other tacitly. Depin didn't plan to come over and Wenshan didn't bother to pay attention and pretended not to see it.

Wenshan made red bean jelly, milk-flavored corn cake and red bean ice glutinous rice balls today. After seeing Yinzhen playing for a while, she waved to him to come over.

Yinzhen liked red bean jelly and ate several pieces in one go and drank a bowl of iced glutinous rice balls. After eating, he was still eager to reach out for the sweet and soft corn cake. Wen Shan was worried that he would get a stomachache from eating too much, so she stopped him mercilessly.

Yinsi gloated while drinking the sweet and tender goat milk that Wen Shan had specially prepared for him . Humph, this is how it should be. He can't be left without it!

Yinzhen rested in the pavilion for a while and couldn't sit still again. He wanted to go out and play, and looked outside frequently. Wen Shan didn't have the heart to restrain him, so she changed him into a lighter outer garment and let him go to play.

Wen Shan waved a fan and watched Yinzhen and Fuqi running around on the grass. She looked at Yinsi with a smile and said, "Grow up quickly, Xiaoba. When you grow up, you can play with your brother. "

Yinsi babbled in response to her.

Such a lively fourth brother, she had never seen such a lively fourth brother in her previous life.

Yinzhen came back with a handful of flowers after playing for a while. Jasmine Rose picked several flowers and ran back excitedly to give the flowers to Wenshan, and carefully placed one next to Yinsi.

Yinzhen handled the flowers very cleanly, especially the one for Yinsi. The thorns and extra leaves were all cleaned up. Yinzhen was afraid that Yinsi would not like it, so he looked at him nervously. Yinsi

tilted his head to glance at the flower and then at the expectant expression on his fourth brother's face, and thought he should give his fourth brother some face.

Well... since his fourth brother treats him well, he should be nicer to him in the future.

Seeing the fourth brother's nervous look because he was afraid that he would not like him, he looked a little pitiful.

"Empress Xuan?"

Wen Shan was talking to Yinzhen. When she heard the voice, she looked up and found that it was Concubine Min.

Concubine Min was a very elegant person. She was well-read and proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She was a rare talented woman in the harem. Her husband was also gentle and had a good relationship with people in the harem. She had talked to Wen Shan a few times and the two had a good relationship.

"Hello, Empress Min." Yinzhen greeted Concubine Min, and Concubine Min looked at Yinzhen with a smile.

"I haven't seen the fourth prince for a while. He has grown so big."

Wen Shan waved a round fan and pulled Concubine Min to sit down together: "How did you have time to come out today? A few days ago, I heard from Concubine Yi that you caught a cold and planned to go see you in two days."

This is the mother of the future Thirteenth Master.

The vice emperor of the Yongzheng Dynasty, Yongzheng personally certified the "first perfect person in the universe", the gold content of the best Thirteenth Brother in the world.

Although the little Thirteenth Brother is not yet visible.

Concubine Min smiled and said, "It's just a minor illness. Drink a few bowls of bitter medicine soup and it will be almost healed."

Concubine Min couldn't help but sigh when she saw Yinsi, "Empress Xuan is so lucky. Now she has two little princes to keep her company."

Yinsi also recognized that this was the mother of the Thirteenth Brother. When he saw Concubine Min, he naturally thought of the Thirteenth Brother.

He was closer to the Fourth Brother than a real brother. The Fourth Brother thought of him in everything and gave him the title of Prime Minister. When Yinsi thought of the two people's deep brotherly love, he couldn't stand the roses next to him.

"Yinzhen and Yinsi are both very well-behaved and don't make trouble." Wenshan took a plate of cakes to Concubine Min, "Try it, I made it myself."

Concubine Min was not polite to her. After tasting a piece, she praised it greatly. Wenshan listened to Concubine Min's praise and thought that intellectuals are really different. People who praise feel so comfortable.

"When I came here just now, I ran into Empress Niu Hulu." Concubine Min chatted with her, "Empress Niu Hulu was just coming out of the Yangxin Palace, and the servants were carrying a Suzhou embroidery screen, which seemed to be the one in the emperor's bedroom." "

Didn't the emperor just reward Huipin with a cloisonné enamel ruyi yesterday." When Wen Shan mentioned this, she also remembered the gossip that Zhenzhu told her this morning. Niu Hulu really didn't want to suffer any loss. Concubine Min

was not very interested in the dispute between Niu Hulu and Huipin. She just admired the screen, which was embroidered with the picture of the Goddess of Luo River, which was very delicate.

The two chatted for a while, and the sun was getting hotter and hotter, so they went back to the palace. However, Yinzhen inexplicably found that his brother seemed to be unwilling to pay attention to him again.

Yinzhen coaxed him for a long time before Yinsi mercifully paid attention to him twice.

Days passed by like this. Yinsi could sit and crawl when he was more than seven months old. However, he was very reserved and did not crawl around like other children. Wenshan would often coax him to crawl.

In addition to going to school every day, Yinzhen would play with Yinsi to take care of Fuqi. Now Yinzhen's biggest goal is to teach Yinsi to speak.

"Brother, call me brother."

Yinzhen looked expectant. Yinsi was wearing a bright red bellyband and looked like a little Fuwa. He was playing with the tangram puzzle Wenshan made for him.

When Yinzhen came over, Yinsi waved his little hand and slapped Yinzhen on the arm.

"..."

Yinzhen became more and more courageous. Finally, Yinsi finally spoke for the first time when he was more than nine months old.

On this day, Yinzhen planned to give Fuqi a bath. Baoquan moved a basin of water to the yard. Yinzhen rolled up his sleeves and prepared to wash Fuqi himself. Fuqi was usually very obedient, but he was not very honest during the bath and kept splashing water.

Yinsi was watching Yinzhen's excitement from the corridor. He laughed when he saw Yinzhen being splashed with water. Yinzhen turned around and saw his conscienceless younger brother gloating over and angrily ran over to rub some clean water on Yinsi's face.

"Little rascal, how dare you laugh at your brother!"

Yinsi was not to be outdone and used his hands and feet and even his mouth, but in the end there was a power gap and he was ruthlessly suppressed.

Yinsi saw Wen Shan coming over from the corner of his eye and suddenly shouted at the top of his voice.

"Mother!"
