Su Mingzhe opened his eyes, looked at the blue sky, felt relaxed and happy, and slowly closed his eyes.
Today is the forty-third year of Kangxi's reign, early June.
In May, Kangxi came to Chengde with his ministers of civil and military affairs and his adult brothers, and went out to hunt with the princes of the Eight Banners of Mongolia.
Then I got excited and ran all the way yesterday, heading towards the northwest outside the Great Wall.
As a "capable minister and general" among the elder brothers, the fourth elder brother Yinzhen was ordered to stay at the Chengde Palace.
This day.
Some people dragged Si Age out to hunt.
After they were tired from playing, everyone ate deer meat and drank deer blood, and they all felt their stomachs bulging.
Everyone else went to find women and have fun.
The fourth elder brother Yinzhen, who has always been cautious, did not agree to play with everyone, but planned to quietly find a woman to vent his anger.
Who would have thought that Su Mingzhe, an indifferent guy, would take this opportunity to replace him.
Su Mingzhe, who was absorbing and merging the memories of Fourth Elder Brother Yinzhen, suddenly heard the sound of footsteps running towards him, and jumped onto the horse with a leap.
"Fourth Master, this is your slave Li Dequan!"
Seeing Su Mingzhe's light and strong body, the visitor secretly praised him, and then quickly announced his identity.
Li Dequan was one of the eunuchs around Kangxi. He was a person who understood the rules and had a good relationship with his fourth elder brother Yinzhen.
Su Mingzhe accepted Yinzhen's memory, immediately laughed, jumped off the horse again, cupped his fists and said with a smile:
"It turns out to be the Third Eunuch, but what are the emperor's orders?"
"It is indeed your Majesty's will."
When Li Dequan saw that Su Mingzhe was the only one nearby, he straightened his back, coughed slightly, and then said:
"The Holy Spirit has a will!"
After hearing this, Su Mingzhe immediately saluted and accepted the order.
Li Dequan read the contents of the imperial edict. It turned out that it was raining heavily in the capital, and the prince petitioned Kangxi to transfer the fourth prince back to the capital to help him with disaster relief.
The current prince has not made any big mistakes, and his position as prince is considered stable.
And the fourth elder brother Yinzhen is a die-hard prostitute, so it is a matter of course for the prince to ask for an order to let Su Mingzhe go back to help with disaster relief.
Su Mingzhe immediately accepted the order.
The next day.
Su Mingzhe and Longkodo, who was also staying at the Chengde Palace, said goodbye.
Longkodo was the younger brother of the third empress of Kangxi, Empress Xiao Yiren.
Empress Xiao Yiren had no children, so she kept her fourth elder brother Yinzhen by her side as her parent-child.
With this kind of relationship, Si Age and Longkodo have a close relationship on weekdays and are often called "uncle and nephew".
Today, Longkodo's position is deputy commander of the forward battalion.
Su Mingzhe wanted to leave, but Longkodo could only continue to stay behind.
When he returned to Beijing, Su Mingzhe was in a hurry and his horse was galloping all the way.
When he felt the braids on his back swinging around, he began to feel slowly irritated:
"When I ascend the throne and become emperor, the first thing I will do is to cut off my braids!"
"drive!"
Chengde is not far from the capital, only about 500 miles in total.
In the middle, we rested for one night in Miyun County.
At noon the next day, Su Mingzhe entered the capital and came to the entrance of the palace.
Although Su Mingzhe is a prince, he still has to go through the formalities if he wants to enter the palace.
After he took out the imperial edict and had it checked by the guard commander and the chief eunuch, he was put in.
When Kangxi went on a tour to escape the summer heat, the capital was handed over to the prince to supervise the country.
And the fourth elder brother Yinzhen is a hardcore prostitute, so after Su Mingzhe entered the palace, he had an unimpeded journey to the prince's east palace.
The prince, who was having fun among a group of beauties, saw Su Mingzhe coming back and quickly waved and said with a smile:
"Fourth brother is here. How about taking a look at the thin Yangzhou horses sent by these salt inspectors?"
When Su Mingzhe heard the prince's greeting, he looked up and saw twelve beauties in the palace, each with ice-cold muscles and jade bones, delicate faces and beautiful faces, which could be described as the beauty of the country...ah!
"Prince, did you ask Huang Ama to send me to provide disaster relief?"
Along the way, Su Mingzhe found that the road was indeed muddy, but when it came to the victims, he did not see them.
"Just leave the disaster relief matters to the people below!"
When the prince saw that his fourth brother was so diligent in royal affairs, he couldn't help but scold him and smiled:
"Fourth brother, I heard that you were staying alone at the Chengde Palace. I was afraid that you would be too lonely, so I asked Emperor Ama to ask you to come back! By the way, there is one more thing. My brother and sister sent someone to find the imperial doctor a few days ago. , it seems that Honghui is sick, please go home and take a look!"
"Thank you for taking care of me, Your Majesty!"
When Su Mingzhe heard the prince's heartwarming words, his cold face softened slightly.
"By the way, before I leave, pick out two beauties!"
As the prince said this, he pulled Su Mingzhe into the pile of beauties and let him choose.
Su Mingzhe had no choice but to randomly pick two perfect ones.
The prince was not stingy and rewarded Su Mingzhe immediately, and then asked Su Mingzhe to go home and rest.
Take the two beauties back to Zhenbeile Mansion.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Rouze, the direct descendant of the Uranala family, and Shilan, the side Fujin family, with several women and children coming to greet them.
"Guan'er, Lan'er, these two women are gifts from the Crown Prince."
Su Mingzhe took the initiative to introduce the identities of the two women behind him without waiting for them to ask.
After the direct Fujin and the side Fujin looked at each other, they said with a chuckle on their faces:
"Shiro, there is no need to explain, we sisters are not jealous."
"I always have to tell you."
Su Mingzhe knew that the original Yinzhen had a harmonious relationship with his wife and concubines, but he still explained everything clearly according to his original temperament.
At this time, concubine Li held her four-month-old son in her arms and asked her ten-year-old daughter and five-year-old son to salute Su Mingzhe and say hello.
The fourth elder brother Yinzhen had a large number of wives and concubines. In addition to his direct wife Fujin and side Fujin, there were also six registered concubines.
Among these eight women, Fu Jin gave birth to his eldest son, Hong Hui, who the prince mentioned being ill just now.
My concubine, Mrs. Song, gave birth to her eldest daughter, who died shortly after birth.
In addition, the concubine Li stayed with Si elder brother Yinzhen for nine years and gave birth to three sons and two daughters, two of whom died in infancy. Today, she still has two sons and one daughter.
It must be said that the mortality rate of children in ancient times was too high.
As Belle, she gave birth to seven children, only four of whom survived.
However, among these four children, one was seriously ill and the other looked very ill.
If no treatment is given, two of these four children may not survive to adulthood.
After meeting with his family, Su Mingzhe proposed to visit his eldest son who was sick.
Before her direct descendant Jinrou opened her mouth, she saw a beautiful woman beside her chuckle and said:
"Master Beile, you have just come back from outside and are dusty with travels. It's not too late to take a shower and change clothes before going to visit Honghui."
Su Mingzhe traced the memory in his mind and recognized this woman as the concubine sister of Fujin Rouze - Ulanara Yixiu.
Because Yi Xiu was a commoner, he could only marry a well-matched royal family member.
The two had been married for three years, and their first child also died.
Her husband also contracted the epidemic at the end of last year and died.
When a man from Yixiu dies, the elders of the man's family will ask Yixiu to follow the old tradition: he must remarry another man in the clan and return to his natal family with a dowry.
Naturally, Yixiu looked down on a group of poor people living in low-income families, and finally chose to return to her parents' home.
Fei Yanggu, the father of Rou Ze and Yi Xiu, passed away long ago.
When Yixiu returned home, he couldn't bear the glare from his sister-in-law, so he came to seek refuge with his sister Rouze.
Su Mingzhe remembered his sister-in-law's identity, thought about it, and nodded in agreement.
