"I have both sons and daughters. I guess I have to wait a little longer, but I have both grandsons and granddaughters. It is also a good blessing for my sister..."
Concubine Rong curled her lips and said.
This is referring to the fact that Liu Gege, the fifth elder brother, gave birth to another daughter at the end of September.
"I heard that this one is the mother of the eldest grandson. Madam can't run away from this side..."
No one answered, so Concubine Rong continued talking to herself.
Yi Fei smiled and said: "Sister, don't worry. I heard that you value the princess around Sanbeile more than Sanfujin. I think I can get this blessing in two years..."
Except for Concubine Hui, who didn't know what happened before, the other concubines lowered their heads.
Just before the Queen Mother came out, she was giving lectures in the Toci room, but she did not keep her voice down.
What happened to Concubine Rong?
The Queen Mother wanted to protect the fifth elder brother, Wu Fujin, but she dared to stab him at this time.
Please pay attention to the Queen Mother's reaction.
The Queen Mother didn't even raise her eyelids. She just thought Concubine Rong was nothing. She just looked at Concubine Hui and said worriedly: "Why are you not energetic? You don't feel well. Have you called the imperial doctor..."
Concubine Hui smiled and said: "I just ate a few more sips of tea last night and felt sleepy after walking. I didn't close my eyes until midnight. I'll just go back and catch up on my sleep later..."
The Queen Mother also became worried as she thought about Dafu Jin.
"A good child, at such a young age..."
Concubine Hui said with a bit of sadness: "I can't bear to part with you. It's not that I'm boasting, but this daughter-in-law is really good at everything. She served her eldest brother with all her heart before... Now that I'm seeing the days getting better, hey, it's all
Destiny..."
The Queen Mother nodded, a little sad.
Looking at the several granddaughter-in-laws below, he decided to turn around and talk to Wufujin and Shushu.
There is no destiny, so don't mess around.
Children can just let things happen and there is no need to force them.
Living your life well is the real blessing.
The Queen Mother is going through life thinking about the great fortune of Jin, and Concubine Hui will definitely feel uncomfortable as well.
She said: "Don't come here these days, take a good rest, you are not young anymore, please relax yourself..."
Concubine Hui looked grateful, nodded and said: "Your Majesty is considerate, so I will just stay away for a few days..."
Speaking of this, she looked at Shu Shu behind Yi Fei, and praised Yi Fei: "The county prince's palace is in a mess, and the little princesses and little brothers don't have all the winter clothes. Fortunately, our Jiu Fujin is careful and considerate, and sends
I took two carts of leathers, most of them were ermine, which the little man needs, it can be a life saver..."
Concubine Yi smiled and said: "What's the point? A dear aunt, this is exactly what you should do..."
Concubine Hui looked at Shu Shu again: "It's not good for your elder brother to come in. Let him go to Xie Laojiu later..."
Shu Shu looked shy, but still said the same thing as before.
"Don't worry about it, I just happened to have it, so I was lazy and fooled around with it for a while, and made a housewarming ceremony. My eldest brother is lenient and doesn't care about us..."
Not very grateful.
It was originally a matter of reciprocity.
It's just a coincidence.
Concubine Hui smiled and said nothing else.
She understands in her heart.
Where can there be so many good ones?
It's just the difference between being careful or not...
*
Qianqing Palace, Xinuang Pavilion.
Kangxi ushered in his dissatisfaction.
He glanced at the clock.
Before the second quarter of the lunar month.
Usually it's either after breakfast or after dinner, but I came early today.
In time to set the dinner table.
My own son looks like he is staring at the dining table and drooling. How can he be kicked out?
Kangxi pointed to the Kang and said helplessly: "Sit down and have a bite..."
The eunuch who was serving the meal was smart enough to bring the dishes and chopsticks.
Liang Jiugong personally handed over the veil.
Brother Jiu took the answer, bowed slightly and said, "Excuse me, Liang Shuda..."
Liang Jiugong avoided it: "This is the job of a slave..."
Brother Jiu wiped his hands and sat down by the kang.
Now that it is cold, there is a pot on the dining table, which is stewed duck.
There are also several stir-fry dishes, one meat dish is duck breast, and the remaining dishes are vegetarian dishes, such as cabbage, fungus, shrimp, radish, etc.
Eat without talking.
Father and son ate in silence.
When Kangxi put down his chopsticks, Brother Jiu pointed at the pot and said: "Khan Ama, this is wrong..."
The faces of the eunuch serving the dining room and Liang Jiugong changed.
Kangxi was calm.
Listening to his son's tone, he felt that it didn't sound serious, not what the slave was worried about.
You should know that brother Jiu had a delicious meal just now. Not only did he eat a big duck leg, but he also drank three bowls of soup in a row.
Seeing that Kangxi drank a bowl of soup.
Not to mention, I don’t know if it’s because the heat is right or if the side dishes are placed well, but the duck soup is refreshing and not greasy, and tastes very good.
Kangxi raised his eyelids.
"What's wrong? Did you use your Fujin recipe?"
Brother Jiu's eyes were round: "Khan Ama, you know..."
Kangxi snorted lightly and was too lazy to answer.
Isn't that nonsense?
If he didn't nod, who would dare to add or delete the menu in the imperial dining room?
Brother Jiu was dissatisfied and said: "Then you, Khan Ama, have used it in vain? My son Fujin asked people to figure out these things. My son still wants to put them away and send people to open a restaurant later..."
Kangxi stared at him: "What do you mean? The banner people outside can eat, but I can't?"
The ninth elder brother fell asleep and hurriedly changed his words: "How can that be possible... My son is just thinking, isn't it the end of the year? You said before that you would reward the prince's elder brother with money, so you would also add your son Fujin's reward, so as not to act like an elder. He is not generous and seems to be taking advantage of the juniors for free..."
Kangxi said angrily: "Others are 'brothers who will settle accounts clearly', but you are 'settling accounts clearly' with your Ama..."
Brother Jiu hurriedly said: "I can't figure it out. That's what my son said. It's over as soon as you hear it. Let's talk about business..."
Kangxi rubbed his temples.
"After all, what else is there to do..."
The "business" the day before yesterday was Lao Shi's first engagement ceremony.
The "business" yesterday morning was the daily supplies for the princes' mansions outside.
The "business" yesterday afternoon was the rank of the fifth elder brother's father-in-law.
Brother Jiu said: "Khan Ama, isn't Lao Shi getting engaged the day after tomorrow..."
"The day after tomorrow? Seventeenth?"
Kangxi was surprised: "The day when Qin Tian oversees the election?"
Only then did Brother Jiu remember that he had not reported the case after being admitted to the Qintian Prison.
"Hmm, after listening to Khan Amma's instructions, my son sent people to Qintian Prison. The remaining two of the first three days were in the twelfth lunar month, and this one was in the winter lunar month..."
Kangxi nodded.
Brother Ninth continued: "The prince's initial wedding ceremony requires that in addition to the ministers of the bodyguard and chamberlain, the manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs also comes forward... The son also has to accompany the fourth brother and the eighth brother to accompany Lao Shi to recognize their relatives, so what about the manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs?
Son, do you think we can arrange for two more people?"
Kangxi felt unhappy.
"Nonsense! Just to add two stewards just for the first wedding ceremony?"
Brother Jiu hurriedly said: "It's not just for this. There are so many things in the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, inside and outside, and there are so many things to care about. How can my son take care of them... Is there anything that Khan Ama can use?"
Once the people are transferred and used, it will be easy for the son to use them... Otherwise, the son will have to watch how many pigs are killed in the palace every day, and which brother outside wants a few extra bolts of satin for his house? It's so trivial..."
Kangxi scolded him angrily: "I have only been working as a yamen official for a few days, and now I feel disgusted..."
He wanted to arrange for the manager to go down.
But his desire to arrange it and his son's desire are two different things.
When his son doesn't want anything, he wants to give it to others.
His son wanted it, but he didn't want to give it to him.
Otherwise, if you follow this kid's heart, wouldn't it make him proud?
Brother Jiu then said: "Khan Ama, in addition to working, you also need to give Tai Sui to Zhenshan. It's best to watch the six ministries and nine ministers, which adults have free time... These wrappers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs have been passed by Khan Ama.
, all of them are arrogant..."
Kangxi looked at Brother Jiu several times, his eyes darkened with curiosity.
"Is this all what you thought about?"
Brother Jiu just wanted to tell the truth, but immediately shut up.
Who knows why Khan Amma asked this...
He is petty, what if he is picky?
Brother Jiu sneered and said: "Isn't this my son trying to avoid laziness? In this winter, it would be better if I slept for half an hour more... I saw the sky staring at me at the yamen, and my son has lost weight...
After reading so many books, my son is not a fool and has learned almost enough..."
He looked like he was not ashamed of his words, but Kangxi shook his head and said: "I didn't see it, but I looked at it, you are more like a military advisor..."
Brother Ninth has a nail under his butt.
He stood up and said: "There is really no one else, it's just my son's own thought... You are also serious. It's useless to ask. Can my son make someone out of nothing for you?"
With that said, he walked to the door: "The day after tomorrow is the official day. If you want to wait, Khan Ama, please hurry up and add two more things, so that I won't make mistakes in a hurry..."
When Kangxi saw that he was assigning work to him, he couldn't laugh or cry, and wanted to scold him again.
Brother Jiu didn't stop and walked away in a flash.
Kangxi's face turned pale, and he told Liang Jiugong: "Go and find out who Brother Jiu has met before..."
Who is behind this?
What exactly does that mean?
Are you targeting the Ministry of Internal Affairs?
Or something else...
No matter which one it is, Kangxi will not tolerate it.
We can’t tolerate anyone taking advantage of Lao Jiu’s innocent heart...
His heart can be killed...

Go to the study room.
The tenth elder brother also removed the lunch box.
Seeing the ninth elder brother coming, the tenth elder brother was very happy.
Brother Jiu then said: "Besides Niu Hulu's family and your aunt, do you have anyone else you plan to invite... to join in the crowd, it will be more lively then..."
After hearing this, Brother Ten quickly shook his head.
"It's just a first wedding ceremony, no need to be too fussy... these two families are enough..."
The key is that Khan Amar may not be happy for him to hook up with outsiders.
The fewer people the better, but if there are too many, it will be a sin.
According to Brother Ten's original intention, he didn't even want to call Niu Hulu's family.
My eldest uncle lost his title and his reputation was tarnished. He has been reclusive for the past few years and is not very sociable.
Asking him to come out would be a embarrassment.
Aling'a's side is just a villain, and he has a face-to-face relationship with him.
But who said that the tenth prince was the grandson of the Niu Hulu family?
During the Han Dynasty, the tenth prince would be called Prince Niu Hulu.
In the eyes of the world, the prince and his wife are inseparable from each other.
If the tenth elder brother behaves distantly, in the eyes of the world, he is ungrateful and cold-hearted.
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "Then don't call anyone else. I'll send people to Dutong Mansion. Then I'll ask my father-in-law to bring a few people there, that's about it..."
The tenth elder brother understood the kindness of the ninth elder brother and accepted it.
"That's a good relationship. When the time comes, my brother and Lord Dutong will be very close to each other..."
The ninth elder brother still felt that it was not satisfactory and complained to the tenth elder brother.
"Abahai is too young. There are only two banners and there are not many children in the capital... Khan Ama is also the same. It would be great to choose people from Horqin. There are children there to fill the vacancies in the capital. There can be twenty or thirty people as bodyguards.
people……"
Brother No. 10 smiled and reassured: "That's all right. Don't show it to others. Don't be too lively..."
I have been really busy these past two days. After Brother Jiu said this, he went to the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs again.
*
Qianqing Palace, Xinuang Pavilion.
Kangxi had already received accurate information about Brother Nine's itinerary in the morning.
The eighth prince has been to the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The two brothers left the imperial city together.
Later, Lao Jiu went to the Penal Department Yamen.
Is it the fourth person or the eighth person who guides the ninth person behind the scenes?
Kangxi placed suspicion on Lao Ba.
The two brothers have always been on good terms, and Lao Jiu seems to be more obedient to Lao Ba's words.
Lao Ba, Lao Jiu...
Laoba, boss...
Kangxi felt uncomfortable.
At this time, Liang Jiugong came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Sibeile wants to see you..."
Kangxi was a little surprised that this fourth child would not come to Qing Palace without being summoned.
He checked the death row criminal case files at the Ministry of Punishment. What did he find?
However, according to his behavior, even if he discovered something, he would first report it to the Manchu and Han ministers instead of going beyond the level.
Even if the prince's elder brother walks in the six divisions, he is just walking.
The real decision makers are the six ministers.
Kangxi nodded and the messenger came in.
The fourth elder brother came in and made a thousand gifts in an orderly manner.
Kangxi called out and said: "Lao Jiu came to see you this morning? Did he ask the next one to arrange the wedding ceremony for the tenth elder brother?"
The fourth elder brother nodded and said: "This is where my son should go."
His preface is here, the eldest brother can’t get out of his family, the third brother...
He also vaguely heard the reason why the third elder brother was demoted.
I'm afraid it's embarrassing.
Kangxi's expression softened slightly: "Then you have to work hard, keep an eye on the few little ones, and don't let Lao Jiu fool around..."
The fourth elder brother said: "Khan Ama, I came here just to tell you about the ninth elder brother..."
Kangxi was a little surprised.
"What's wrong with Lao Jiu? Is he messing around in front of you? His words are still disrespectful..."
He remembered clearly that Lao Jiu was avoiding Lao Si.
Don't you know how to be polite when asking for help today?
Is this making an honest person angry? Forcing the fourth child to file a complaint?
The fourth elder brother shook his head and said: "No, my elder brother has made progress. It's just that my son feels that he is here at this age. He has always been pampered and has not experienced anything... There are many things in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He has just taken over and is not familiar with them. There are too many. If you don't take care of it, there will inevitably be mistakes, and it will be the fault of oversight... It is not good to delay the errand, and it will easily dampen my brother's ambition..."
At this point, he paused and said: "My son knows this, so I just want to talk to Khan Ama. Should I arrange for two more suitable people to go over and help teach my brother how to behave?"
Kangxi didn't look expressionless, feeling very surprised.
It turns out that the military advisor behind Lao Jiu is not the eighth elder brother, but the fourth elder brother.
But after thinking about it, you can understand why.
My fourth son has a cold face and a warm heart.
When I discovered the shortcomings around my younger brother, I definitely had to think more and help Zhou Quan.
Kangxi smiled: "It turns out it was you who gave him the idea. No wonder Lao Jiu was asking for someone from me just now. I don't think he could have thought of this in his mind. When I asked who gave him the idea, he refused to tell me... "
The fourth elder brother felt uncomfortable and said: "My son is talking too much..."
Kangxi said: "I know you have good intentions, so I wrote it down... I was negligent. Lao Jiu is recuperating his body and it is not appropriate to work too hard. There is no need to involve a prince in the daily affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs... Just let him be a Prime Minister..."
This is what Brother Si came for. After saying this, he retreated.
Kangxi's heart was slightly sour, and he complained to Liang Jiugong: "One by one, they are good brothers, and it seems that I treat my son harshly..."
Liang Jiugong bowed and said: "This is also because the emperor's teachings are good, the fourth master is friendly, and the ninth master is lovable..."
Kangxi's face showed disgust, but he still commented with some pertinence.
"The fourth child is good, but the ninth child has a bad temper. I never expected that he would make such progress today..."
Liang Jiugong noticed that he was in a good mood and flattered him: "The source of this all lies with you, master. Who asked you to point out Jiu Fujin to Lord Jiu? You two, just learn from me and I will learn from you..."
Kangxi laughed heartily: "Yes, Lao Jiu can be regarded as the one who is close to Zhu..."
Speaking of this, Kangxi was thoughtful.
"According to what you said, if I give a bad gift, my brother will also be abducted and ruined..."
Liang Jiugong said.
He wanted to give himself a slap.
Mouth is short!
The conscience of heaven and earth, he really does not reflect anything.
At this time, Zhao Chang came.
"Your Majesty, Ningshou Palace sent someone to the Royal Pharmacy to get Xiaoyao Pills..."
In the imperial pharmacy, you can get medicinal materials directly without going through the imperial palace. There is only one person in the palace, the Queen Mother.
Kangxi's face darkened.
Xiaoyao Wan can soothe the liver and regulate qi.
"what happened?"
He asked with a cold face.
Zhao Chang leaned over and told the story of what happened in Ningshou Palace this morning.
Kangxi's face was dark and frightening, and he ordered Liang Jiugong: "Go and bring Eighth Brother over!"
Liang Jiugong hurriedly went out to pass on people.
Why are they facing each other like this?
Is he unlucky?
Or is the eighth prince unlucky?
It’s really hard to say…
The eighth prince also just finished his meal at the Ministry of Industry Yamen.
His meals were naturally sent from Baylor Mansion.
It is also a hot pot, with a carbon basin underneath to warm it.
It's stewed pigeon.
This is for replenishing energy.
I don’t know how I heard about the Eight Fortunes, but one of them has been added to the sky for the past two days.
The eighth prince felt that the meat was a little too spicy and cumbersome to eat.
I ate it with a few side dishes.
Seeing Liang Jiugong coming to deliver the message, the eighth elder brother thought he was going to have a wedding ceremony the day after tomorrow, so he followed him out.
On the way, he said politely: "Liang Shuda, are there any rules for the first wedding ceremony?"
Liang Jiugong pursed his lips and did not answer.
He didn't dare to give favors at this time.
The eighth prince slowly stopped laughing and realized something was wrong.
In the Qianqing Palace, Kangxi endured his rage.
When he saw the eighth elder brother coming in, he yelled and cursed: "Unfilial thing!"
