In the Qianqing Palace, Kangxi stopped Yinzhen who came to pay his respects. Book fans also like to read:.
"After I retired from the court the day before yesterday, I talked to Fei Yanggu privately, and I think he must have known about it. If there are no more surprises here, I will announce it at the dinner party tomorrow."
"I would like to thank Emperor Ama for making it possible." After hearing what Kangxi said, Yinzhen knelt on his knees and saluted.
"Well, if you hadn't insisted on this, I would never have thought of giving you the daughter of Fei Yanggu's family as your direct descendant. Although Fei Yanggu was a loyal minister and good general, he followed me and fought in the north and south, and made a lot of contributions. But if we look at it in detail, he did belong to Baoyi's banner during the late emperor's time..."
Having said this, Kangxi paused. Seeing Yinzhen's unwavering hesitation, he couldn't help but sigh. He waved his hand for Yinzhen to stand up, pointed to the seat on one side, motioning for him to sit down, and continued. : "Well, since you've thought it through, I won't be so pedantic that I want to embarrass you. But, fourth child, are you sure you won't regret it in the future?"
"My mind has been decided. Apart from this matter, I will only follow the orders of the emperor." Yinzhen stood up, raised his hands and swore an oath.
Seeing this, Kangxi nodded slowly, "The prince will need to rely on you brothers in many places in the future. It would be better to determine his position earlier."
Thinking of the fact that the prince came to him specifically to ask for reward the morning before yesterday after Fei Yanggu left, Kangxi couldn't help but sigh secretly: I hope his decision to make Yinreng the prince is not wrong. Hesheli, you This is starting to make things difficult for me. I only hope that Yinreng’s habits are undecided now. With my effective guidance during my reign, he can gradually correct his posture and correct his mind...
"Prince...how are you doing these days? Are you still going to Nixiao Pavilion?" Kangxi asked Yinzhen after gathering his thoughts.
"Since the Nixiao Pavilion caught fire for no reason two years ago, the business has plummeted. The prince has never been there. However, I recently heard that in the past two years, the prince and Lord Mingzhu have become very close in private..."
"Oh? Mingzhu?" Kangxi narrowed his eyes, and an almost invisible light flashed in his eyes, "I know it in my heart. Before I find out about this matter, I must not leak anything."
When Yinzhen heard the words, he nodded in agreement: "Yes... Huang Ama, I have an unkind request."
"Oh? It's rare that you would take the initiative to request me. Book fans also like to read: Tell me and listen." Kangxi saw Yinzhen's hesitant expression. He smiled and nodded for him to say it.
"If... Lord Mingzhu, he really has... I beg Emperor Ama not to spread his anger to the branches of the Nalan family."
"What's the matter? Before Fujin even got married, he took care of Nalan's family affairs for her?" Kangxi glanced at him with a half-smile, "But I heard that Nalan Mingcheng was very upset about the concubine's insistence on marrying a warrior. Yu Huai, haven’t we been harmonious yet?”
"This kind of right and wrong is just what outsiders hear and hear. I believe that even if there is a serious gap between father and daughter, it will not endanger life."
"Yin Zhen, because of your words, I agree with you. After all, Mingzhu is also a veteran of two dynasties. If everything is verified to be true, even if I have to pursue him, I will take his face into consideration." At this point, Kangxi turned to Yinzhen and asked with an approving smile: "It's you, yesterday I heard the Taifu talk about your plans for the next year... To be honest, I thought you would choose to go to the Ministry of War. Unexpectedly, you surprised me. I was surprised. But then I heard Taifu add the reasons for your application to the Ministry of Household Affairs, and I felt very pleased!"
"The emperor's words are serious. I just want to do my little bit to help the emperor to relieve his worries." Yinzhen's frank and considerate words made Kangxi straighten his eyebrows.
"Okay, okay, okay! I hope you can continue to maintain this mentality!" Kangxi nodded approvingly. Seeing that it was getting late, he waved his hand to signal Yinzhen to step back. At the same time, he did not forget to remind: "Tomorrow means after the marriage,
It’s time for you to tidy things up. Fei Yanggu is marrying a daughter for the first time. Once he learns that he is marrying a prince, he will definitely not be as calm as I am. He will definitely not deal with the dowry. You can simply give Dong San
Everything has been tidied up, so as not to be unable to accommodate the dowry sent by his family and lose the face of the royal family. Haha..."
"My son, I obey the decree." Yinzhen kowtowed and bowed before retreating.
………………
The New Year's Eve Palace Banquet in the 29th year of Kangxi's reign finally arrived, much anticipated by everyone.
This year's palace banquet is scheduled for the 29th of the twelfth lunar month. What is different from previous years is that at this year's palace banquet, the Queen Mother, the principal concubines of the harem, and Prince Fujin were all present. Other book friends read as usual:.
After Kangxi accompanied the Queen Mother to her seat, the concubines from the harem, the princes and their relatives who had gone to study in the study, accompanied the princes, ministers and their families. Supervisors from all over the country were dispatched from the imperial court, and small countries from the surrounding areas of the Qing Dynasty came to pay annual tributes.
The envoys, the tribal leaders who were granted the title of Outer Mongolia...all saluted Kangxi and the Queen Mother and presented congratulatory messages.
Kangxi smiled happily and raised his glass in return. For a while, the banquet hall of the Hall of Supreme Harmony was filled with people drinking and drinking, and it was very lively.
"Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, another year has come to an end." Minrong, who was holding Qi Ling and feeding her, turned her head to look at her daughter Jinxi, and then looked at Fei Yanggu and Qi Keqi, who were a few tables away.
Chen looked at it and couldn't help but sigh.
The young woman sitting on the other side of her smiled and answered: "Yes, this time is the most unforgiving. But seeing that the wife has two children, she must feel that the days are passing faster, right?
Happy days fly by so fast!"
"Haha, that's true. I just hope that the two siblings will grow up safely and become healthy adults." Minrong smiled and nodded.
"What you said, madam, speaks to our family's heart. We don't seek wealth, but we seek the health of our family!" The young woman also smiled back.
Minrong saw that her eyes were narrow and she couldn't help but be a little curious, "I looked at Madam a little bit strange. I wonder which family member she is?"
"My husband has just received the imperial order and will go to Suzhou and Hangzhou to take up the position of Suzhou weaver as soon as the new year comes."
"Oh...let me guess, Madam is the Fujin who supervises the rookie Cao Yincao?"
"Yes. Madam, you have really good eyesight." Seeing that Minrong hit the mark, the other party couldn't help but purse her lips and chuckle.
Jinxi, who was sitting next to Minrong, couldn't help but get excited after hearing Minrong's guess and seeing the other person nodding in recognition: Cao Yin is said to be the grandfather of the original author Cao Xueqin. It turns out that he was appointed by Kangxi at this time.
Weavers in Suzhou went to work in Suzhou. First it was Suzhou, then Nanjing. It was at that time that the Jinling Grand View Garden was built, right?
"I have long said that there are three happy things to announce to you at today's night banquet. One of them is that the four tribes in Outer Mongolia will unite to fight against the enemy. After discussing with the leaders of the four tribes, I decided to organize the tribes in Outer Mongolia into thirty-four banners. After the new year,
As soon as spring comes, I will personally lead my army to Duolun to discuss the splitting of the flag in detail. By then, even if Galdan has the ability to do anything, he will never again invade our Qing Dynasty and Outer Mongolia."
After hearing Kangxi's announcement, everyone in the audience applauded. Especially the princes and generals who participated in the battle of Galdan even raised their glasses excitedly to congratulate him.
Kangxi smiled and raised his hand to stop, then continued to announce the second happy event: "This second happy event is that I have decided to hold a grand parade ceremony at Yuquan Mountain in September next year to show off the beauty of our Qing army. I hope everyone here can
Please provide me with suggestions and advice, and give me more valuable advice for me, the prince, and the Ministry of War."
"Long live my emperor!" After hearing Kangxi's words, the officials present stood up, knelt down, and kowtowed in response to Kangxi's order.
After Kangxi raised his hand to signal them to return to their seats, he continued to announce the third happy event: "My fourth prince, Yinzhen, has reached the age of fourteen. He should follow the ancestral rules and be able to take concubines and marry wives. After many investigations, I have decided to marry the second prince.
Uranala, the legitimate daughter of Fei Yanggu, the commander of the pinbu army, gave the fourth prince Yinzhen the title of legitimate Fujin, and the auspicious time was determined by the Qintian Supervisor to get married in the coming year."
Boom! As soon as Kangxi said this, it was like a time bomb, causing the whole audience to talk about it.
Minrong turned to look at her daughter beside her in astonishment. Seeing the helplessness and sadness on her face, she couldn't help but frown and asked, "You already knew this?"
Jinxi nodded seriously.
"Did your Ama tell you?" Minrong immediately thought of Fei Yanggu's strange look for several days.
Seeing her daughter nodding again, she couldn't help but hug her little son tightly, but she breathed a sigh of relief. The fourth prince's direct descendant, Fujin! It must be a good marriage, right?
"What a congratulations! Book fans also like to read:! After the New Year, I will go to Beijing with my husband to take up a post. I will definitely not have time to add makeup, so I will give it here first." Cao Yin's legitimate wife, Li, took it off her wrist.
She took off the pair of nearly transparent lady's flat bracelets and stuffed them into Jinxi's hands, "Don't refuse, you can't push back on the makeup. If you don't believe me, ask your mother-in-law." Mrs. Li smiled and pointed at Minrong, Jinxi saw
Minrong nodded slightly, and then accepted it calmly, "Thank you, Mrs. Cao, for the gift. If we are lucky enough, Jinxi will definitely come to visit you someday."
"Tsk, tsk, no wonder the emperor fell in love with you. You are such a sweet-tongued person that people can't help but like you." Mrs. Jiang covered her mouth with a silk handkerchief and chuckled.
The other ladies at the same table and the female relatives at the next table also raised their glasses to congratulate Minrong.
In the seat where the prince was sitting, the fifth elder brother, Yinzhen, leaned into Yinzhen's ear and said with a smile: "Congratulations, fourth brother, you got what you wanted!"
Ninth elder brother Yinzhen glanced at Yinzhen secretly, feeling very unhappy. He thought that Jinxi and he were very close to each other on weekdays. If he hadn't been two years younger than Jinxi, how could such a good thing happen to someone with a cold temperament?
Fourth brother. But then again, it is better for Jinxi to marry the fourth brother than to marry the prince.
He raised his eyes and glanced at Yinreng opposite, and saw a trace of disdain flashing in Yinreng's eyes, and couldn't help but frown.
The prince's heart is not depressed, but his eyes are full of disdain. If he is not happy, he can't even think about Yinzhen's comfort. Who makes the fourth child willing to marry a concubine as his legitimate wife? It really insults the dignity of a prince.
I thought I was flattering her by taking that girl as my concubine. Unexpectedly, Huang Ama also joined in the fun and wanted to point out the girl to the fourth son as his legitimate son Fujin? But after just one concubine, what qualifications did he have to sit on the throne of Prince Fujin?
High position?
However, it's good to have this problem, so that the fourth child will not often play tricks in front of him, as if he is the legitimate prince. Humph...
Yinzhen looked back at the prince calmly, raised his glass and clinked it with the brothers around him. Then he raised his eyes to look at Jinxi, who was dozens of tables away, and saw the sad look she cast, which made him a little funny.
, it’s time to find an opportunity to make it clear to her. Otherwise, that girl might really get angry at herself and stop talking to her. (To be continued)
