Yikun Palace, Second Palace.

The game has ended.

Concubine Yi was leaning on the kang, holding a pair of dice in her hand and throwing them there.

When the eunuch in charge came in to deliver the message, Concubine Yi sat up.

After hearing this, she nodded and told Peilan: "Go to the back and ask if the nobleman and the concubine want charcoal. If so, send someone to get it together tomorrow..."

Peilan responded and said: "What about the main hall?"

Yi Fei said: "Of course I do, isn't this what Lao Jiu has said? Why should I, a mother-in-law, do something like this..."

After a while, Peilan came back after passing the message and said: "The nobleman and the concubine have already agreed, and the side hall is indeed a bit cooler."

The main hall and the back hall are just the same, facing south, warm in winter and cool in summer.

The east and west side halls are not warm in winter and not cool in summer, which is very painful.

Especially before the Earth Dragon starts every year, the room is dark and cold.

"Master Jiu, be careful, no one else would have thought of this..."

Perrin praised.

Concubine Yi hummed and said: "Who knows what kind of evil is going on? You are not a careful person at all. Even if you love your wife, there is no need to alarm the whole palace in such a grand way, just to hold back some bad water."

If there were no other reasons, Shu Shu would have stopped him. It was not his temperament.

The Qianqing Palace was the last to get the news.

Because the supply from the Ministry of Internal Affairs is on a routine basis.

The example is from the harem, from the queen mother to the ordinary palace women.

The charcoal in Qianqing Palace is unique.

In winter, there will be two incense burners over four feet high placed in the Nuang Pavilion, which will be kept on day and night, making the room as warm as spring.

Kangxi knew about this and said nothing.

After all, the general ledger of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has not changed, and the total amount of charcoal purchased each year remains unchanged.

It's just the remaining silver from the remaining charcoal in the case...

"Nonsense! I don't know the suffering in the world!"

It happened that Ma Qi, the prince's teacher, was here, and Kangxi couldn't help complaining: "He himself has a lot of money, so he thinks that everyone else is rich? He doesn't think much about it..."

If this rule is implemented, there will definitely be resistance from the harem mistresses who are having a hard time.

But the concubines were young and frail, and when the time came they would get sick just to save a few kilograms of charcoal, which would be more of a loss than a gain.

Ma Qi bowed and said, "Master Jiu is kind-hearted, but he is young and does not think carefully enough."

Although Kangxi was dissatisfied with this article, he did not think of asking Brother Jiu to modify it.

Although Ninth Brother made a lot of noise and did a lot of things in the Ministry of Internal Affairs this year, he did not change the original rules of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

This is the first time, and it is also the time to establish your authority.

Although there are shortcomings, there is no need to completely deny it.

Changing orders every day would undermine his dignity as the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

It's just that sometimes, good intentions may not always lead to good things.

In addition to Ma Qi, Fulun, the Minister of Rites, and Zhang Ying, the Minister of Han, were also there.

Although ministers died of illness, there was no case of leaving the court, but Alantai died in office after all, and he was respectful in his work, so he stopped working for one day today.

Kangxi looked at the two ministers of the Ministry of Etiquette and said: "I took Ma Wu together with one of the ministers and ten guards to offer tea and wine. I gave him four saddle horses and two thousand taels of silver. At the time of the ceremony, Prince Yin of Zhijun and Qibele Yin You, ten guards from Qianqing Palace and five squads of guards are sent to see you off..."

Every one of them is grace.

Especially when Ma Wu offered tea and wine to the ministers, this was the visit of the Holy Spirit.

Finally, Kangxi said: "The Ministry of Rites has proposed a posthumous title."

The two of them bowed in agreement.

Kangxi had no intention of talking about anything else. He waved his hand and told people to kneel down.

Birth, old age, illness and death are all inevitable events.

The ministers in the early years of Kangxi were all old and frail until the end of their lives; but ministers like Alantai, who had only been promoted by Kangxi for more than ten years, also began to die.

Kangxi sighed inwardly.

It seems like time is passing faster and faster.

I still clearly remember the New Year celebrations, but it’s the end of the year again.

He thought of the Queen Mother of Ningshou Palace, who was already fifty-nine this year, and of the eldest princess of the Princess Villa, who was already sixty-eight.

The eldest princess was resting in the palace for a few days, and Kangxi sent the imperial physician to ask for a pulse.

The pulse condition is not good.

The eldest princess is old.

All the internal organs are faulty.

Qi diseases, in particular, are very serious.

This will make her sleepless at night.

This was a chronic disease that was difficult to treat. The imperial doctor prescribed prescriptions for moistening the lungs and sleeping, but the effect was weak.

Since he did not want to deal with state affairs, Kangxi ordered Wei Zhu to dig out the information about Bahrain Taifu Jin.

That’s all.

Finalizing this matter as soon as possible will also make the eldest princess feel relieved.

Kangxi picked up his pen and wrote a few strokes on Tai Fujin's book.

Immediately, he asked Wei Zhu to take two new imperial edicts, and he wrote the marriage edict, but he put down the pen when he was writing the signature at the bottom.

Since there is a special suspension of services today, it is better to send someone to deliver the order tomorrow...

*

The next day, Wei Zhu took the imperial edict and went to the other courtyard where the eldest princess was.

The eldest princess and Princess Rongxian accepted the marriage decree on behalf of Santaiji, the brother of the King of Bahrain.

After listening to it, both the grandfather and grandson were a little confused.

Of course the two of them knew who the eldest daughter of Aling'a was. She was Gege, a direct descendant of the Niu Hulu family, and the niece of Concubine De.

The eldest princess was still pondering, but Princess Rongxian had already accepted the order.

She recognized Wei Zhu. Although he was a young eunuch, he was still useful to the emperor.

A few days ago, the Holy Emperor arrived at Ningshou Palace, and Wei Zhu also accompanied him.

Princess Rongxian signaled the housekeeper to give the money for tea, and said with a smile: "I never expected such a happy event. Thanks to Khan Amma for being considerate, our Taifujin's wish came true, 'kiss us more'..."

The silver seal was thin, but inside it was not gold or silver, but banknotes.

The behavior of this second princess is completely different from that of her younger brother.

Wei Zhu was also happy to sell well. Seeing that the eldest princess's face was still a little confused, he explained: "The emperor feels that the Aling's family has a more respectable background and is more suitable to be the eldest princess's granddaughter-in-law..."

He refused to say anything else and left.

The eldest princess and princess Rongxian looked at each other. What did the emperor mean?

This one is more respectable, but the one in front is not respectable?

What is this word...

Although the eldest princess didn't like this marriage very much, she never doubted Tai Fujin's vision.

After all, that is her most beloved son, how can she find an inappropriate daughter-in-law?

Princess Rongxian said: "It's better to ask people to inquire, I'm afraid there is something wrong, and the capital will hide it..."

Bahrain is thousands of miles away from the capital, and the two of them had the impression that the Gege in front of them was the daughter of their first wife...

*

After leaving the villa of Princess Dachang, Wei Zhu went to the home of First-Class Gong Aling'a.

Niu Hulu's family can be regarded as living together as a clan, with people living in different houses on the front and back streets.

When Wei Zhu left, the princess almost cried to death, holding her eldest daughter in her arms and reluctant to let go.

Aling'a's face was also a little gloomy, and he ordered the steward: "Go to the Duke's Mansion and ask the Duke's wife to come back!"

The eldest sister in Bahrain was withdrawn, and she was far apart in age from him. There was no friendship between the siblings, and there were very few letters exchanged over the years.

On the other hand, the Duke's wife has exchanges of letters with the Bahrain Ministry.
To be continued...
