Chapter 56 If it weren't for him, there would be no Nian family

Nian Gengyao. Nian side blessing Jin. Nian Guifei.

These two people are inseparable in the life of Emperor Yongzheng.

It is also well known that Emperor Yongzheng favored Nian Gengyao and doted on his sister Nian.

Perhaps the kindness shown to Nian Gengyao could only be compared to that shown to Longkodo.

But no one could match Concubine Nian Gui's ten years of exclusive favor.

Yuyan originally thought that it would still be a few years before Nian Fujin entered the palace. Now everything has changed. Perhaps when that time comes, Nian's entry into the palace should also be able to change.

Unexpectedly, Kangxi rewarded Yinzhen and sent Nian Gengyao into Yinzhen's sight in advance.

At this time, Nian Gengyao had not yet become the top military and political leader of Sichuan. Kangxi thought Nian Gengyao was good, probably because he was capable enough.

After all, Nian Gengyao himself had quite a few shortcomings.

It was because Kangxi admired Nian Gengyao's father Nian Xialing very much and praised Nian Xialing a lot that he paid much attention to Nian Gengyao.

Yinzhen was going to be crowned a king sooner or later. When he was crowned a king, a banner leader would be appointed. Each of the Eight Banners had a banner leader, and the banner leader would definitely be Kangxi's son. The prince would definitely be easier to control than those princes and nobles.

Even if Kangxi wanted to centralize imperial power again, it would be difficult to break the ancestral rules after so many years.

Many ministers in the court still found it difficult to get rid of their banner status.

They are ministers of the Emperor, but they will certainly be loyal to their banner masters because of their banner affiliation.

This will certainly have a certain impact on Kangxi's rule, but the Iron Law of the Eight Banners cannot be changed, so this contradiction has always existed.

But as measures are implemented one by one, this situation will surely gradually weaken, and in the end the imperial power will certainly be more centralized. The Eight Banners can only recognize the emperor as the biggest banner owner, and the rest of the people will naturally be marginalized.

Nian Gengyao was truly a rare and unruly person.

After he was assigned to Yinzhen's army, that is, after Yinzhen was crowned king, Yinzhen became his banner leader. Others were busy trying to curry favor with their banner leaders, but Nian Gengyao was different.

Even when he was assigned to Yinzhen's place, he did not try to curry favor with Yinzhen like others did. He even never greeted Yinzhen, as if he was not under Yinzhen's command.

It is recorded that Yinzhen was very unhappy about this matter. He even wrote a letter to question Nian Gengyao. It was only later that Nian Gengyao established a relationship with Yinzhen for his own future, and then Nian entered the palace as a concubine.

After Nian entered the palace, she was the favorite for ten years, and Yinzhen never had children with anyone else.

Many people say that Nian was Emperor Yongzheng's true love.

There are indeed records that Emperor Yongzheng loved Chongnian.

"Jade face?"

Yinzhen was just chatting casually and didn't take what he said to heart.

It was just that he answered whatever Yuyan asked.

But there was no reply from Yuyan for a long time, and the person in her arms still had his head down, not knowing what he was thinking. Yinzhen felt it carefully and felt the familiar sense of barrier, as if he could not hear Fujin's voice again.

Yinzhen took another closer look and found that something was wrong with Yuyan's expression.

"What are you thinking about?" Yinzhen gently stroked Yuyan's chin and asked her directly.

He seems to have some experience now.

There had been times before when he couldn't hear his inner voice, and Yinzhen originally thought it was random, but after it happened many times, Yinzhen seemed to have figured out some pattern.

No matter how close the two of them are physically, once Yuyan distances herself from him in her heart, he will no longer be able to hear Yuyan's voice.

I can't hear Yu Yan's inner voice. If she refuses to say anything, it will be difficult to guess her thoughts just from her expression.

In the past, Yinzhen would always indulge her and get used to her, not asking anything and just waiting for her to speak out.

But now, Yuyan said, she gave him her first time.

How could Yinzhen not understand the elegant meaning of the music when he only heard these one sentence?

She had never had anyone else but him.

Yinzhen has long been unable to let go, and he will not let go at this moment.

When he said those words just now, he didn't say much, just the mention of the three words "Nian Gengyao", the person in his arms stiffened, even though he deliberately breathed slowly and relaxed afterwards, Yinzhen, who was very close to her, had already noticed something unusual.

Thinking of his own Fu Jin's ability, Yinzhen took into account the current situation of the two people and was unwilling to leave such a problem unattended, so he asked directly.

Nian Gengyao must have problems in the future.

Yinzhen thought that if Yuyan refused to say anything even after being asked directly by him, he would not let her off easily.

The two of them were so close, it was impossible for them to let their hearts drift apart. No matter what concerns Yuyan had, he could solve them.

Yuyan raised her eyes and looked at Yinzhen.

His palms are always warm.

At this moment, even the fingertips gently touching her chin were warm.

His hands could pull a strong bow, ride a fine horse, write and hold a pen, and they could also bring her happiness and warmth.

Yuyan was distracted for a moment, but Yinzhen did not urge her. After a moment, Yuyan came back to her senses on her own.

"Nian Gengyao is a man that Lord Beile can make great use of."

Yuyan looked at Yinzhen intently, "But he has a younger sister who was raised according to your tastes, and should be exactly what you want. If you marry her as your concubine, you will dote on her and treat her wholeheartedly, and there will be no room for anyone else in your eyes."

"Whether it's innate wisdom or prophecy, no matter how you interpret it, it's fine. As far as I know, if you follow the original path, Nian will be the love of your life. Everyone else will have to take a back seat."

Phew, it’s out.

It doesn’t seem that difficult.

Yuyan was cautious for a year and refused to say anything.

However, she brazenly showed Yinzhen through her actions that she was actually someone else.

Now, she is like a little wild cat that has found a warm home. She is finally willing to turn over her belly to her favorite 'poop shoveler' and invite him to watch and touch her softness.

Yinzhen was a little stunned, thinking that he would hear the truth in his heart.

He thought that Fu Jin, this little liar who said one thing and thought another, would say something to fool him, but the real reason would be revealed in her heart.

And there is a high possibility that he cannot hear her.

However, he underestimated the woman who captured his heart.

She said it.

And the moment she said this, Yinzhen also heard her thoughts.

What she said in her heart was consistent with what she said out loud.

But what Yinzhen didn't expect was that he was right about Nian Gengyao: there was something wrong with him.

But the focus of Yuyan is not Nian Gengyao, but Nian Gengyao's sister Nian.

Yinzhen has been listening to Yuyan's inner thoughts for a year. From his emotional fluctuations at the beginning to his calmness now, he has gone through a period of change in his mental journey.

At the beginning, his emotions fluctuated greatly. One reason was that Yinzhen had never imagined such a future, and it was indeed a little beyond his expectations.

Secondly, at the beginning, he would unconsciously regard Emperor Yongzheng as himself, so sometimes he would wonder how he could encounter such a thing and how he could do such a thing?

Later, as he learned more and more, Yinzhen no longer thought so.

That Emperor Yongzheng was not actually him.

It was Yinzhen in another life and with another choice, not him.

Gradually, Yinzhen no longer had such strong emotions. He could treat the things that Yuyan said in her heart with a calm and objective attitude, and more as a warning to prepare for the future.

Many things have changed, and he should not follow the same path as Emperor Yongzheng.

Yuyan should have noticed his changes in her heart.

She should have known that many things would never happen again, but the future she saw left such a deep impression on her that it was even engraved in her memory.

What she saw were the records in history books, and her feelings were different from those of Yinzhen when he heard them.

What she is worried about now is the "true love" of Emperor Yongzheng.

On the one hand, Yinzhen was still quite happy. Seeing Yuyan worrying so much about him, didn't it mean that Fujin had started to have feelings for him?

On the other hand, I felt a little sorry for Yuyan.

She knew all this from the beginning. No wonder she refused to get close to him, and no wonder she thought that way.

She is a woman who has naive fantasies about love and marriage. She cannot accept any feelings or relationships other than her single-minded devotion. However, she does not know how she keeps these things in her heart and how she keeps savoring them.

Yinzhen thought, why should he torture himself like this for a woman who is not by his side and will never be by his side?

"Whether Nian Gengyao can be employed or not will be determined in the future."

Yinzhen picked up Yuyan and placed her on the soft bed which had already been replaced.

He followed her up, and the two of them hugged each other tightly, both feeling equally refreshed and warm.

Yuyan felt drowsy but was unwilling to fall asleep just like that, so she divided her attention and listened to what Yinzhen said.

Yinzhen whispered, "I don't care whether it's a premonition or a prophecy, what Fujin said will never happen. Since Fujin is by my side, I can see that Fujin's thoughts are not concealed. This year is enough for me to see it."

"Fu Jin doesn't want me to have someone in my heart or around me. I don't want Fu Jin to be upset about this. Now I can make the decision on who comes into the mansion. No matter who it is, no one can force me to accept Fu Jin into the mansion."

"Nian Gengyao is not yet glorious, so he can't interfere in the affairs of my mansion. Besides, there will be more people to use in the future, and we won't have to rely on the Nian family so much."

"There are so many women in this world. I have Fu Jin in my heart. Fu Jin is my destined one. Why should I care about the illusory love of my life? Nian can naturally look for someone else."

Yuyan let out a sigh of relief.

I have to say that Yinzhen's words were so thoughtful and detailed, and they really soothed people's hearts.

It can be seen that sometimes a man's earnest sweet words are still very pleasant to the ear.

Yuyan reached out and touched Yinzhen's face: "How come you are so calm and composed after hearing what I said? Don't you want to know more?"

She whispered, "I thought Lord Baylor would have many questions in his mind."

Yinzhen held her hand and chuckled, "Master, you are in a stable mood. Didn't I tell you that I knew it a long time ago? You didn't hide it, so I could guess it a little bit."

"Besides, Master Fu Jin has been observing my words and expressions for a year. If you were not sure that I was thinking this, you would not have said it out loud. You probably didn't want to see me get so shocked."

"I do have many questions in my mind, but I think Fu Jin should be ready to tell me, right?"

Yuyan hugged Yinzhen tightly, she closed her eyes and said in a low voice: "Hmm."

It should have been said long ago.

I should have told you when I was in Jiangnan.

It was because Yinzhen condoned her that she kept it to herself.

Now you can tell.

"I have many important things to say. Are you ready to listen carefully, Lord Baile?"

Yuyan closed her eyes but poked Yinzhen's chest with her fingertips, "Prince Beile is a great man, with a broad mind and strong psychological endurance. Many of the things I talked to Prince Beile about did not mention myself, but only talked about Prince Beile. I wonder if Prince Beile can bear such earth-shaking changes?"

Yinzhen pinched her fingertips, curled his lips and smiled, and whispered in her ear: "Master dares to listen, does Fujin dare to speak?"

Wow, the method of provoking someone.

Yuyan let out a slow breath, her voice like a hum: "It's late tonight, I'm tired. If I keep going any longer, I'm afraid it will be dawn soon."

"My eyes hurt from staying up so late. I'm going to sleep. As Lord Beile said, there's a long way to go. I'll talk to Lord Beile slowly after I've had a good rest."

How could Yinzhen not pamper her?

He whispered something coquettish, but kissed her lips: "Okay. Stop talking. Go to sleep."
