Chapter 113 4 Master's Backyard is involved in the daily life 38
The two had lunch at Yinzhen's house. After the meal, they couldn't help but start discussing in the carriage.
Ninth Prince: "Tenth brother, do you think Fourth Brother has that idea? If so, why shouldn't he be so indifferent? If not, Fourth Brother doesn't have too many scruples about the Crown Prince. How can I not understand this?"
Tenth Prince: "Who knows? But I think it's good to listen to Fourth Brother. I think it's more reliable than listening to Eighth Brother."
The two of them follow Lao Ba, and they are really hated by everyone.
When the Ninth Prince heard him talking about the Eighth Prince, his face darkened and he said nothing more.

Years ago, the Thirteenth Prince also came, and Hongxu was taken to see his Thirteenth Uncle again.
Then the Chinese New Year will come.
The wife was in charge of the household affairs in the mansion, and she arranged everything in an orderly manner. Just like last year, Le Shu had a family dinner at noon, and in the evening Le Shu left the door open for Yinzhen, so Yinzhen had another meal after he came back.
A new year has begun, and compared to last year, she has a son.
After the Chinese New Year, Yinzhen was busy for a few days and then had some free time. As Mongolia was not over until the first month of the year, he had nothing to do. Thinking of Le Shu's curiosity about the Old Summer Palace, he decided to take her out to relax.
After getting off the carriage, Le Shu looked at the building in front of her.
How should I put it! It is very plain, without any trace of the temperament of the Garden of Gardens, but it is also true that it has a unique charm.
"This garden is quite big." Looking around, there is water connected to water. Especially in winter, the grass and trees are not as lush as in spring and summer, and it seems even more empty.
"It is naturally a great gift from the Emperor. I will slowly refine it in the future. It is very comfortable to come here to escape the heat in the summer."
Yinzhen suffered the most in summer. In his previous life, he was an emperor and liked to work in the Old Summer Palace. In this life, he still liked this place.
The two of them walked into a courtyard together, looked up at the plaque above, and saw only four large characters.
Warm and beautiful time.
Seeing that she noticed it, Yinzhen smiled and said, "I wrote this calligraphy. This courtyard is quiet and elegant. You don't want to be disturbed, and it is convenient for you to travel. I only built this courtyard around it. There are many rooms. In the summer, when Hongxu comes, he will be able to run away..."
Yinzhen talked a lot, and Le Shu realized his intentions. After entering, she looked at the furnishings inside and felt that they were very familiar. They must have been designed by him personally.
The warm and sunny weather is just right for today’s weather.
Yinzhen finally said: "...Do you like it? If not, I will ask someone to change it."
Le Shu was not very knowledgeable. Even when designing a piece of clothing, she could only look at the style. The specific details were basically changed by Yinzhen and then adjusted by the embroiderers.
This is true for clothes, let alone architecture.
If she comes to see it, she won't see anything wrong.
"I like everything you arranged."
The two smiled at each other, and stayed in the garden for two days before returning.
The fact that Yinzhen took Le Shu to the Old Summer Palace alone made people in the backyard talk about it. Even Concubine Li, who was still "recuperating", couldn't help but murmur that such favor was something she had never had before.
But Fu Jin was very calm and only said to Chamei: "Beauty is like a flower, you have to endure for a long time."
The Fourth Lady was open-minded about the fact that Le Shu was favored, even the only one favored by her. After all, it would be hard to find someone more beautiful than her in the backyard. The key point was that she also gave birth to a son who looked very smart and would grow up to be a good girl.
Just after the first month of the lunar year, Yinzhen was about to leave. In fact, he was a little reluctant to let him go. Having spent these days with his wife and children, Yinzhen was rarely immersed in such a gentle and comfortable life.
But he was determined, and before leaving, he said to Le Shu: "I told Fu Jin that it's hot in summer, so I asked her to take the people in the backyard to Yuanmingyuan to escape the heat. The warm and beautiful scenery will be left for you and Hongxu to live in from now on."
"Got it. Go slowly on the road. Don't be too anxious to get going. Put yourself first."
"Well, don't see me off. I'm leaving."
Le Shu looked away only after his back disappeared.
Xiaolan helped Le Shu into the house, muttering: "After Grandpa left like this, we don't know when he will come back. My little prince will probably call for help by then, and there is also the one-year-old ceremony for his birthday. We don't know if Grandpa will be able to come back..."
When Nanny Su heard her mumbling, she quickly stopped her and said, "Xiao Lan, go to Miss Xiu Lan and get the new clothes made for the princess."
Xiaolan didn't understand why, but she went anyway.
Madam Su: "Xiaolan is such a tactless girl, please don't be sad, Princess."
Le Shu smiled and said, "I know Xiaolan's personality. It's not like Master will never come back after he leaves. Mammy, I'm not sad."
I just suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
"It's good that Gege can think positively."
Although Nanny Su was sent by Yinzhen, she could see Yinzhen's unusual affection for Shaoguangyuan, but her current master was Le Shu, and she was afraid that Le Shu would be trapped by love.
As women get older and see more, they hate to put all their attention on men.
After Yinzhen left, Le Shu's life was very regular and dull. It was impossible for Defei to summon her often. The key point was that seeing that Fu Jin had no intention of dealing with her, she rarely called her into the palace.
Occasionally, she would let Concubine De bring Hongxu into the palace, or meet Concubine Li's children, to show her care for her son Yinzhen. As for whether it was real care and how much sincerity was in it, perhaps only Concubine De herself knew.
In May, news came from the court that Kangxi ordered a tour to the frontier. Le Shu had already followed the Fourth Lady to the Old Summer Palace, preparing to spend the hot summer. She knew that when the emperor returned to Beijing again, it would be cloudy in the capital.
But this did not affect her good mood.
After staying in the Old Summer Palace until the end of October, the emperor returned to Beijing. In early October, the Fourth Lady received a letter from outside the Great Wall, and then she took everyone back to her mansion and began to stay indoors.
After the emperor returned, Yinzhen also returned with him. Things in Mongolia were already back on track, but he was imprisoned after returning.
In early November, Kangxi, despite his illness, ordered the dethronement of the crown prince. By the time Yinzhen was released, it was already the end of November.
Looking at the thin face of the man in front of him, after being together for so long, he finally had some feelings for him. He couldn't help but said with some heartache: "He is your own son, how could the emperor be so reluctant to let him go! I asked someone to cook a bowl of noodle soup, let's eat it quickly to warm up our bodies."
Although Yinzhen was thin, he was in good spirits and could even smile at Le Shu.
"Don't worry, I'll eat."
After finishing a bowl of noodle soup, Yinzhen felt warm-hearted. Then he pulled Le Shu into the study and hugged her as soon as he came in.
"Shushu, Thirteenth Brother was not implicated this time. He doesn't have to waste his youth. That's great!"
Le Shu patted him on the back: "That's good."
Yinzhen then said: "Shushu, my second brother has rebelled and hurt the emperor's father. The emperor has kept the news secret, but it is impossible to reinstate the crown prince. Moreover, the emperor has not only hurt his body, but also hurt his heart. I am afraid that..."
He will be bedridden, and even if he doesn't die immediately, he will no longer be able to lead a dynasty.
It was he who pushed the Crown Prince forward, having someone tell him that Kangxi was going to depose him, and the Crown Prince chose to rebel.
He couldn't wait until Kangxi died of old age and wait until Kangxi became foolish and only wanted to implement "benevolent rule". He had too many things to do.
Le Shu knew that he was in pain, so she hugged him tighter and said, "I will stay with you. A hundred years later, I will go with you to plead guilty to the emperor."
Yinzhen didn't expect the prince's rebellion to be so effective. He really didn't want Kangxi to have too much energy, but he felt uncomfortable thinking that Kangxi would die early.
No matter how much he resented Emperor Kangxi, Yinzhen still had some admiration for him. He was just so contradictory.
The two of them hugged each other quietly in the study, and Yinzhen felt a little calmer.
