Chapter 79 Growing Pains
Chapter 79 Growing Pains
The envoy who came back to Xinjiang has already left, and the calm in the capital has returned. No one else paid attention to the man outside the city who failed to rob again and was let go with righteous words.
……perhaps?
"Fifth elder brother and others met a Hui man who wanted to rob Xiangfei in Huibin building."
"Pay close attention." Yinzhen squeezed the note in his hand, he had already given too many chances to those people, this time he simply took them all down.
The fifth elder brother is simply a typical example of a slave who can't teach his son.A good elder brother has been taught what to be like by that concubine Ling. When he is not doing business, he will hang around women all day long, and he is also known as caring for his sisters.
One or two attendants around him are all thinking that Shang Gege relies on women to get the upper hand, which is really a horrible education.
It is confirmed that Yongjing is also a reborn child, but he was also Yongjing in his previous life and he only lived for two years. His mind and way of thinking are still a bit immature, but under strict teaching, he can at least be competent for the Qianlong Dynasty. The crown prince is now.
Yinzhen picked up the homework that Yongjing handed in, and changed to a pen to correct it.
In the current Qianlong Dynasty, although there are officials with corpses and vegetarian meals, there are also many corrupt officials underneath, but fortunately there have not been ministers with power over the court like Qin Hui and Yansong. He and Kangxi Yinfeng also consciously put promising young people in important places. talent.
For example, He Shen, who has a "close relationship" with the twelfth elder brother Yongzhen, has already secured the position of the servant of the household department by his own ability. From several things he has done one after another, it can be seen that this person is a good-looking, long-sleeved and good at dancing, whether it is Mentally and talentedly talented people.
If he hadn't been able to see that He Shen was wholeheartedly devoted to Elder Brother Twelve, he would still have to worry about what method to use to control him.
And his brother He Lin has also achieved good results in the army. He is smart and honest. Yinzhen is thinking about what military power in the court can be placed in his hands.
I have to say that people in this world value love and righteousness in various senses. Although they are prone to accidents due to their strong emotions, they have weaknesses because of their feelings and are easy to control. Just be careful not to lose control.
Yinzhen put down his pen, turned his head and looked at the child dozing off with his chin resting on his cheek, his head was bit by bit, and what was pressed under his elbow was a copy of "Zi Zhi Tong Jian", the kind without annotations, no wonder Feng Yuli It will get more and more sleepy.Is it his illusion?I always feel that the children's facial features have changed a little these days. To be more specific, it feels like they have grown longer.
Just looking at it, the high-quality soft and smooth satin sleeves slipped on the pages of the book, the small palm could not support the round chin, the child suddenly leaned forward, and almost knocked his head on the table.This suddenly woke up the drowsy Feng Yuli, blinked and shivered, looked at Yinzhen who was covering the gap between his head and the table with his palm, and grinned.
"Yinzhen!" Feng Yuli covered his mouth with both hands and yawned big, then wrapped his arms around his neck, and smacked his face generously, "Do we often feel sleepy lately...?"
"Are you saving energy and growing up?" Yinzhen wiped away the drops of water hanging from the corners of his eyes with his thumb, and had a faint guess in his heart that Feng Yuli had transformed into a human form after the period of sleepiness last time, this time again What will change?
"Huh... Maybe?" Feng Yuli touched the earrings, blinking in confusion, he didn't pay much attention to the growth process of the Feng clan, and coupled with his violent and fierce power, every time he grew up, he was in a daze. past?
Whose baby is this?Yinzhen was both funny and worried, "I'll ask."
"Ask? Ask who?" Feng Yuli looked up, is Feng Jinli there?
Yinzhen led him out directly, and the child recently expressed his ambition that he no longer needs to be hugged like a child.
"Is Yinzhen finished with work?" Feng Yuli looked back at the stack of notebooks on the table, seeing the densely packed words, she couldn't help puffing her cheeks and holding back her yawn.It's not that he is too idle, the problem is that apart from Yinzhen, Kunning Palace, and Kangxi and his son, there is nothing else in this world that he needs to care about.
"Well, it's nothing important." He just planned to make Yongjing the emperor, and didn't plan to be the emperor himself, "I will write three books for Yongjing to review."
The members guarding the sticky pole outside the door responded.
What Yinzhen is looking for is another Phoenix Crow known in the capital, the Crow Crow of the Phoenix Crow wearing Keshan skin.
When he came to Prince Duan's mansion, Keshan was carrying a gift box and was about to go out. He was slightly surprised to see the two of them coming hand in hand.
"Where is Keshan going?"
"My sister, Xinyue, who belongs to me, has been expelled from the palace, but after all, she was once the daughter of the palace. Today is her birthday. He dragged the general's mansion to celebrate Xinyue's birthday. It's better for me not to show up." Ke Shan Leng Answer indifferently.
"Want to watch the fun?" Yinzhen looked at Feng Yuli whose eyes lit up.
"Ok!"
So, there were two more people on the carriage to him.
"I don't know what orders you two have for coming in person today?" Ke Shan's face was serious and abstinent, but his eyes were full of gossip.
"About the growth of the Feng family, I want to know a thing or two." Yinzhen didn't beat around the bush, he began to understand the way of getting along with these alien races, directly, simply, and the strong are supreme.
"The growth of the Feng family? Basically, it is the egg stage, early childhood stage, growth stage, adult stage, and prime stage. The length of time is not certain." Keshan doesn't quite understand why he wants to ask this, but anyway, this is common sense There's nothing you can't say - the problem is, it's normal for Yinzhen to listen carefully, why do you listen with gusto, Your Highness? !
"The accumulation of energy to a certain level will stimulate the awakening of the bloodline nodes, and the awakening of the bloodlines of each node will enter the next stage. Generally speaking, the stronger the Phoenix clan, the longer the awakening time. For example, the little highness from infancy to growth stage That's enough time for most of the Feng Clan to go from egg stage to adulthood." Ke Shan greeted Feng Yuli with the original expression on his face, feeling powerless for a while.
"However, there are exceptions. It is said that His Royal Highness Fengzhu quickly entered adulthood in a short period of time due to the critical situation, and there were also cases where he stayed in the adulthood forever." Keshan looked at Yinzhen, and understood what he wanted to ask. "There is also a first love period. Strictly speaking, the first love period is not an independent growth period. It is just a symbol that indicates that it is stable in the growth period, which means that it is possible to find a partner. A partner is the driving force for the Phoenix clan to become stronger. They can aspire to be stronger, but it doesn't make a real difference."
"Yuyu has been accumulating energy rapidly recently." Yinzhen frowned.
"Huh, is there?" As a young highness of the Feng clan who is blessed with absorbing energy all the time without needing exercises or meditation, he really didn't pay attention, "No wonder you always feel a little sleepy."
Yinzhen asked the sticky stick to buy a bag of candies, and fed them to his little Phoenix one by one.
Keshan inexplicably remembered the saying of human beings, "Raising a child to be a hundred years old, always worrying about 99 years".Silently, I became even more powerless, "But, there is still a long way to go before your highness reaches adulthood? Before entering adulthood, you cannot call out your natal weapon, because the natal weapon transformed from the blood of the Feng family needs to be awakened during the bloodline awakening." Re-tempering to adapt to the adult stage, which is at least three times stronger than the growth stage." And just a few days ago, the little phoenix almost hacked that human with a knife.
Don't think that three times are very few, you must know that the energy base of the Feng Clan is huge, and Feng Yuli is so strong even in the growth stage, no one can predict how this little Phoenix will go against the sky when it enters adulthood or even reaches its prime .
"But my elder brother sealed us ten times, and only now did I break the first or second seal?" Feng Yuli stretched out her hand to show him the red crystal bracelet on her wrist, and she could see the crystal embedded in the clear crystal. Several entangled golden thorns swim in it like a stream of water.And as he leaned over, the slightly open neckline could see the golden dragon pattern and the entangled pattern of runes on the collarbone.
"...You have already made a partnership contract?...Ten seals? No, that kind of thorn pattern should not move?...Swimming thorn pattern, could it be..."
Is it a racial characteristic of the Phoenix clan to talk to themselves?Yinzhen twitched the corners of his mouth, looked down at the little guy who was holding his fingers and grinding his teeth lightly, and couldn't help poking his tongue, "You don't want to eat sweets anymore?"
Feng Yuli stared innocently, then let go and continued eating sweets.
"Your Highness, do you remember that this world cannot bear [-]% of your complete body's strength?" Ke Shan's face was paralyzed again because of surprise and nervousness.
"Of course." Except for a few heavenly realms that are as famous as the Phoenix Realm, the other worlds, let alone [-]% or [-]% cannot bear it.
"Your Highness, do you know that you are the most powerful phoenix? What this subordinate means is that your little Highness will be stronger than His Royal Highness Phoenix Lord when he becomes an adult."
"Of course." My elder brother has mentioned it to him, and he is not stupid.
"His Royal Highness's seal is not strong enough, and due to the signing of the partnership contract, the seal on the small hall is already crumbling."
No wonder I feel sleepy lately, my body probably can't bear his energy anymore.
"What will happen if the seal is broken?" Yinzhen felt that breaking the seal was not a very good thing.
"Your Highness must leave this world and return to the Phoenix Realm before the seal is completely released, otherwise this world and several surrounding worlds will collapse." Keshan lowered his head, "Theoretically, you are the only one who can completely seal His Highness, but Your strength is not enough..."
Yinzhen's face darkened, his heart tightened, "How much longer?"
Keshan took out a pocket watch, calculated the speed of the thorns swimming in the bracelet, and then made some calculations in his heart, hesitantly said, "Probably two or three years? But your highness is really, too strong... "
So this time is likely to be greatly shortened.
If something else caused Little Phoenix to go berserk during this period, this time would be shortened even more. Being strong also has troubles.
Three years, whether it is for the Feng Clan or humans, is too short.
"Oh." Feng Yuli didn't have any reaction, anyway, Yinzhen must have moved to Fengjie with him, "It's only been three years, I'm a little bit reluctant to part with Little Yongjing and the others." Feng Yuli licked the powdered sugar on his fingertips, Whispering in a low voice, "The way of heaven in this world is too unreliable, and I don't know if we will bully them when we go back..."
"What about me?" From this question, it can be seen that Yongzheng, who has always been calm, rational and calm, has not recovered.
"Didn't Yinzhen say that he would accompany us?" Feng Yuli stared in surprise, which naturally made Yinzhen feel hot.
It was as if the ice and snow had melted, and it was rare for Yinzhen to smile brightly, even the corners of his brows and eyes were stained with smiles.Yinzhen, who was in a great mood, even the old man and little white flower who showed his sincerity to each other in public and disregarded his exasperated old mother and embarrassing wife, did not spoil his good mood.
The shy girl in pink flag dress is snuggling up to the rough man, sitting on an equal footing with the old lady and the regular wife, and even slightly superior to them, chatting with the visitors.
The old lady couldn't tell what was on her mind, she hated Xinyue for completely taking away Nu Dahai's heart, although she looked pitiful and obedient, but because of Nu Dahai's blind protection, she said that "there is only Nu Dahai in my heart" , In fact, she just didn't pay attention to her old lady.While being proud that the former Gege was willing to be his son's concubine, he thought that even if Xinyue was kicked out, if Xinyue became a flat wife, Duan Wangfu would take the initiative to take the initiative, right?
In contrast, the natal family of Yan Ji, the main wife who is so low-key that one would think it has declined, does not have much support.
She completely forgot that Nu Dahai led the army and became a mighty general with the help of Yanji's natal Ulanara clan.
Yan Ji managed to maintain a generous and decent smile on her face.Her husband, who used to be single-minded, now gave all his heart and soul to that Xinyue, and he also demanded that in order not to make Xinyue sad, the whole family should treat Xinyue with princely courtesy. Put it on the ground and step on it.
The two unfulfilled sons and daughters who gave birth to her turned towards Xinyue, and they were all moved by her willingness to give up the position of Gege.She still had to prepare a birthday party for such a woman who ruined her family, and her heart hurt beyond words.
"Sister Yanji, if things go on like this... why don't you go to the palace and talk to that sister, and let that sister decide for you." Seeing Yanji's painful expression, she hated Nu Dahai and gritted her teeth.At the beginning, if Nu Dahai hadn't humbly and sincerely begged Yanji to marry him, how could the Ulanara clan have married Yanji to such a person? If you think that Yan Ji is begging for favor, you will abandon Yan Ji? !
Yanji shook her head forbearance, "How to be the master? This is the family I have given everything to, I..."
Suddenly a strange and huge awe and coercion welled up in the depths of her blood, Yan Ji shook her body, and touched the hot wild goose-shaped birthmark on her wrist.Grandmother once said that her ancestors believed in the Phoenix God, and inherited the bloodline of the Great Wild Goose God King under the Phoenix God, but it gradually became completely thinner from generation to generation, and she also told a lot of secrets, but she always thought it was a legend.
Not long ago, this birthmark also had a fever a few times, but she ignored it, but this time it turned out to be a persistent and non-negligible fever.
"Sister Yanji, what's wrong?" The woman took her hand.
"It's okay, you don't have to worry, I have plans." Yan Ji looked coldly at the two who entertain guests hand in hand like a real husband and wife, and pushed the woman, "Leave me alone for a while."
People came and went, and the family she once maintained abandoned her and circled around the crescent moon, leaving her to face the sympathetic gazes of all directions generously and decently.
"Huh? Uncle Yan's breath?" A clear and crisp child's voice sounded beside her, and Yan Ji was startled, looking at this child who only reached her waist, she felt the pressure to surrender.
"It's the blood of the branch of the goose. Although it is very thin, it is indeed the goose." Another tall boy affirmed, and was a little surprised when he looked up, "He pulls the lady?!"
Yanji was also surprised that this young man was actually Xinyue's younger brother, the son of Prince Duan who expelled Xinyue from Duanwang's residence.Did he come here to support Xinyue?Yan Ji felt cold again.
"The Feng Clan will not allow the cubs to live in an unknown world. The Yan Branch has no record of rebellion?"
"I heard that half-bloods from the branch of the wild goose once fell in an unknown world."
"Falling, unknown world, half-blood, you mean Uncle Yan Liu? We found Liu Uncle Yan's bloodline?!"
Yanji couldn't help but smile bitterly as she watched the two talking incomprehensible words, and seeing them chatting cheerfully while tugging at the corners of her sleeves, she couldn't bear to interrupt again.How long has it been since she saw such an innocent and pure smiling face?
She also thought that her children were innocent, but the arrival of the new moon made her realize that her two children were really stupid.
"Ma'am, you are a descendant of our clan, would you like to come back with us? The clan lives in a more beautiful place than Xanadu, and you can bring your family with you!"
Your Highness, how much do you dislike the vast land and sparse population of the Phoenix Realm!Keshan wanted to support the wall.
Yan Ji didn't take it seriously, but she didn't play it perfunctory either. She bent down and looked at the child with a firm tone, "This is my home."
"It's like this again..." As for the familiar answer, Xiao Fenghuang's abduction plan failed again.
At this time, there was a sudden chaos ahead, all kinds of noisy greetings and compliments came and went, but upon closer inspection, it turned out that the fifth elder brother brought the two inseparable Fu family brothers and the maid Xiaoyanzi to celebrate Xinyue's birthday together.Nu Dahai didn't feel that there was any disobedience for an old man like himself among these teenagers, and he laughed proudly when he heard the fifth elder brother wishing them a happy life.
Yan Ji's face turned completely pale, and she quietly clenched her fists in her embroidered sleeves, blood oozing from her clenched teeth.Forget about Nu Dahai, at most he can be regarded as a man with three wives and four concubines, but her good sons and daughters, do you really want Xinyue to be their stepmother? !
"Don't be angry, you are fine, they are the ones who are not." Feng Yuli tugged at her sleeve worriedly.
"Thank you for your comfort." Yan Ji held back her tears and smiled appropriately, "Your family is looking for you."
Feng Yuli looked up and saw that Yinzhen had come to her side, holding a familiar big hand with one hand, and tugging at Yanji with the other, her voice was low and full of natural power, "Don't be sad for someone who doesn't care about you, it's not worth it. You are our clansman, we will protect you, don't be afraid, don't need to have scruples."
Yan Ji couldn't help but laugh, "Your words are enough to move the hearts of many little girls, don't deceive little girls when you grow up."
"What little girl... huh? Eh..." Feng Yuli was directly led away by Yinzhen in a daze.
Keshan wiped his face and once again saw the friends of the Feng family who forget their love.On the premise of not harming or betraying the tribe, the partner is an important existence higher than oneself, and the Phoenix people are proud of being loyal to their partners.
Originally, the guests with different expressions planned to leave when they were polite and said hello. After all, Xinyue was an expelled Gege, and they came to see Nu Dahai's face, but they didn't expect Nu Dahai to speak Outsiders are implying that they should respect Xinyue just like Xinyue is still Gege's identity, which makes them all plan to alienate the family in their hearts.
It's just that the fifth elder brother's arrival surprised them all, so they had no choice but to follow them to the garden.The garden was decorated with lights and festoons, which set off the four characters "Watching the Moon Xiaozhu" on the gate of the small building so delicately that the little swallows jumped up and down excitedly.
"Yongqi, let's make Jingyang Palace like this too! It's so beautiful! I like it so much!"
"Okay, okay, then let's make Yanzi Xiaozhu, and I'll make you a beautiful one, haha."
Qianlong built Baoyue Tower, and fifth elder brother built Yanzi Xiaozhu. They really deserve to be father and son.Yinzhen watched coldly.
This is really not a good place, twisted and abnormal souls are annoying.Feng Yuli sighed.
After a while, Nuda raised his hand, and a dozen maids lined up with lanterns to form a crescent moon.In the night, the crescent moon lined up by lights is shining brightly, dazzling and beautiful.Then, the maids shouted in unison:
"Crescent moon princess, longevity is boundless! Youth is forever! Happiness is always there!"
——What a rhythm of death this is!
The whole place was silent.
Nu Dahai and Xinyue didn't feel wrong, Jiyuan Luo Lin, both sons and daughters looked proud, Xinyue threw herself into Nudahai's arms with a face of emotion, Fu Erkang lamented the preciousness of true love, and the fifth elder brother faintly felt that No, but he, who was used to obeying Vulkan, still admired him.
Forte had already calculated in his mind whether he should surrender or run away from home.
I don't know who stepped on what and made the noise, and the visitors who were still looking forward to friendship with the fifth brother resigned one after another.
"Hehe, I have something to invite at home, so I will take my leave first."
"I still have work to do, so I'm leaving."
"I'm drunk, haha, goodbye."
No matter how absurd the excuse is, just walk away in an instant.
Nu Dahai has become so unreliable, it seems that his Tara Mansion has come to an end.Look at the fifth elder brother who has no opinion, just listen to a coat slave, forget all about right and wrong, no one will look up to him anymore.
Standing in the shadow of the tree, Keshan looked coldly at the moved faces of a group of people. Looking at Xinyue, he had forgotten all his sorrows. He was wearing a delicate pink flag dress embroidered with colorful butterflies, and had a beautiful jeweled butterfly gold hairpin on his head, meaning Wearing a fluffy pom, he exchanged heart-to-heart conversations with Nu Dahai.
Xinyue, do you still remember Duan Wang and his wife who rushed into the mob and were beaten to death in order to save you a way out.
Xinyue, do you still remember that in order to send you out of the city, several brothers died at the hands of the rioters.
Since you think that you only need Nu Dahai and only your love, then I will fulfill you as the last confession for this skin.
"Keshan, let's go." Feng Yuli turned her head.
"Yes."
Hidden in his sleeve, the last birthday gift that Keshan personally prepared for his sister was randomly thrown into the lake, never to be seen again.
The author has something to say: bonus part:
Nu Dahai's luck is very good. He married a good wife with good fortune and good temper. This well-born wife can manage the house and teach children, and gave him a peaceful general's mansion. The old lady didn't put on any airs either.
Nu Dahai was very lucky, he took advantage of the influence of Yue's family to join the army and became a junior officer. Fortunately, he was not made things difficult by veterans, nor did he encounter bad bosses.
Nu Dahai was very lucky. He was lucky enough not to meet those cunning, treacherous or powerful enemies. With his brute strength and bravery, he earned some military merits, and became a general with the help of the Yue family. Have their own military power.
With a good wife at home, military power in his hands, and a pair of obedient and well-behaved children who have gradually grown up, he has everything a man strives for, and he thinks he deserves it all, so he can do it regardless Go after your love.
But he forgot that there are gains and losses, and he is not enough to have both the bear's paw and the fish.
"Nudahai, you want me to treat Xinyue generously, and I do it; you want my children to get close to Xinyue and despise me, and I admit it; An identity that can return to Prince Duan's Mansion." Yan Ji backed away slowly, as if she had never known the man in front of her.
"What else are you dissatisfied with? You have occupied me for so many years, you have everything, and Xinyue has nothing, so why can't you be more generous, tolerant, and kind?" Nu Dahai angrily slapped the table.
"Yes, Er Niang, Xinyue is so pitiful..." Luo Lin rushed to speak, but Ji Yuan faintly felt that something was wrong, so he quickly grabbed his naive and ignorant younger sister.
Yan Ji blushed and looked at her daughter whom she loved so much since she was a child, a mouthful of blood welled up her throat, and then overflowed from the corner of her lips.Lifting her lips miserably and smiling, Yanji resolutely said, "Nu Dahai, if you don't, you'll divorce me. I will definitely not degenerate myself into a flat wife."
"Luo Lin...it turns out that naivete is also a mistake, ha, ha ha ha, ha ha ha ha..."
Yanji vomited blood and fell into a coma. There was a commotion in the general's mansion. In the end, the old lady took care of the house. Only then did she realize how hard her daughter-in-law was working.
Xinyue and Nu Dahai don't care about anything except their love, and Yanji wakes up disheartened, saying that she is sick and trapped in the independent courtyard, and refuses to see anyone except a few nuns and old servants who accompanied her since she was a child.
Later, when Luo Lin got married, she once so proudly asked her husband not to take a concubine, and he promised so.Until a few years later, the husband brought the delicate woman and the baby back home, and ordered the whole family to treat the woman favorably as a regular wife, and reprimanded her for being arrogant and vicious, while her innocent and lively daughter said that the woman How gentle and despised the harshness and viciousness of the mother.
Luo Lin suddenly understood the grief of Erniang back then, and that sentence, and understood how deeply she hurt Erniang.
But everything can't go back, everything is her own fault.
"Er Niang, I'm sorry, I was wrong... Er Niang..."
It's not that a sorry can make up for the damage caused and restore past mistakes.
Postscript: There are some things I still can't help but want to say, but they don't seem to have anything to do with Little Phoenix, and they are all the brains of the author who doesn't have any dialogue plots, so I put them in the bonus part.
