Kangxi stroked his chin and suddenly asked: "Why don't you touch ink?"
Wen Xi brushed open the back half of the pen to reveal the ink sac, flicked it twice and said, "The ink is stored here." Although the pen has special pen ink, the effect of using ink seems to be good!
Kangxi's eyes suddenly lit up and he shouted hurriedly: "What a wonderful work! There is actually a universe inside?!"
Seeing Kangxi yelling, Wen Xi really wanted to call him: bumpkin!
"How long will this bag of ink last?"
Wen Xi lowered her head and thought, "It shouldn't be a problem to write a few thousand words."
Kangxi immediately held up his palm and said excitedly: "Immediately send it to the manufacturing office and ask them to make a batch in the same way! It will definitely be a great virtue that benefits all people!"
How can it be so easy? Although fountain pens have been around for a long time, it took several centuries in Western history for the perfection of fountain pens to reach the level of later generations. Even if there are ready-made things that can be copied, it is not that easy to make!
Mulan Qiumi, who was in the thirtieth year of Kangxi's reign, set off at the end of September, and the Queen Mother also went with her. Concubine Hui and Concubine Rong accompanied her, but she did not bring with her the low-level concubines, the eldest brother, the prince, the third brother, the fourth brother, and the fifth brother.
My elder brother is accompanying him. Linge is leading the bodyguard and the ministers are naturally escorting him.
Without Kangxi, the harem was much more peaceful, and the concubines were miserable without a big cake to compete for. For Wen Xi, the happiest thing was that the matter of copying the Four Books of Women was over.
The days are getting colder, and Wen Xi has also moved into the Nuang Pavilion. In the flower garden outside the palace, Xifu Begonia has small red fruits, which are as red as fire under the autumn frost, adding a lot of color to the bleak autumn day.
Wen Xi summoned the secret nobles of Yonghe Palace to question, this Wang family, Wen Xi asked her to deal with Zhang Jia family, but she didn't move at all, and it seemed that she needed to be beaten.
Wen Xi remained silent, slowly drank a glass of walnut cheese, and said: "Brother Fourteen is not young anymore..."
Speaking of the fourteenth elder brother, Migui couldn't help but feel nervous. He hurriedly said: "It's all thanks to the protection of the imperial concubine!" The sixteenth elder brother, the fifteenth elder brother, and the fourteenth elder brother played together, and Miguiren naturally
So happy.
A smile appeared on her gentle face and she said, "Tong and Heping, I have always wanted a son."
The secret nobleman suddenly panicked and hurriedly said: "My Lady, you are the one who allowed your concubine to temporarily take over the position of Lord of Yonghe Palace!"
Wen Xi sneered and said: "So you also know that it is a 'temporary claim'!" But the temporary claim is just to let her temporarily occupy the position of noble and be promoted to the position of concubine in the future. Now the meaning has obviously changed. If she
If she doesn't show off, Wen Xi won't let her "temporarily receive" her anymore.
Mi Gui hurriedly knelt down and said, "Empress, it's not that I don't want to serve you. It's because Min Gui has nothing wrong to do!"
The phoenix engraved on the three-inch-long cloisonné armor in Wen Xi's hands was lifelike, as if it was about to fly down. Wen Xi put her hands together, and one of them fell on the desk, "Who in this harem is without making any mistakes?" Then he asked.
, smiled and said: "If there is really no mistake, then create a mistake! I will give you a reminder. Although Liu, the cold palace who had good relations with Zhangjia in the past, is dead, the original matter is not over yet!"
The Mi nobles were suddenly startled. It had long been a tacit knowledge in the harem that the Liu family in the cold palace was involved in witchcraft. However, no one dared to bring it up. The Mi nobles naturally did not want to be involved in such matters, but Wen Xi forced her to do so.
The Migui man was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.
"Eniang——" Xiao Liu broke out in sweat, ran in quickly, and threw herself into Wen Xi's arms.
Wen Xi hurriedly wiped her son's sweat with a handkerchief. This boy finally became more lively and looked like a child. He said half-blamingly: "Where did you go to have fun again? Look at your sweaty head!"
Yinlu smiled and said: "My son played with the fourteenth brother and the fifteenth brother together!"
Wen Xi glanced at the secret nobleman Wang who was still kneeling there, and said, "You should think about your son carefully." After saying that, she asked her to stand down.
"Yes." Mrs. Wang climbed up with difficulty, her little feet walking like a weak willow supporting the wind, making her staggering.
Naturally, Wen Xi would not show mercy to her, so she coaxed her son and asked the kitchen to serve Yin Lu's favorite snacks, and also heated up a bowl of hot peanut butter. The child was greedy and greedy, and went out to play for most of the day.
She must be hungry. Kangxi and the Queen Mother are not here, Wen Xi is the biggest boss in the harem, and Wang will never dare to disobey her.
Wen Xi didn't want to deal with the Zhangjia family by herself, lest she cause trouble. The Zhangjia family was not a fuel-efficient lamp. With her status as a concubine, she was able to give birth to a son and a daughter safely in the harem, which showed that she was very powerful! Concubine Lian An
They were all killed by her, which shows that she is ruthless in her actions. It is best to let others do it! It also avoids dirtying your own hands!
As soon as Concubine Rong and Concubine Hui left, Concubine Yi and Concubine Cheng jointly assisted in the palace affairs. On this day, they came to Chengqian Palace together.
Wen Xi was looking at the letter written by Yu Ludai sent back from Mulan. Yu Ludai's handwriting was taught by Yinzhen, and his writing was already somewhat regular. He was afraid that he would be able to reach her level in a few years.
. The letter was full of cheerful tone, I guess I was having a lot of fun.
Inviting Concubine Yicheng to have tea, she smiled warmly and said, "It's getting cold in autumn. It's still raining outside today. Why did it come suddenly?" The autumn rain outside was hazy and the autumn wind was blowing. It was not a good weather.
Concubine Yi bowed her body and sat upright, not as cheerful and smiling as usual, and said very seriously: "This month it is my turn to take charge of the harem. The emperor and the queen mother are not here. Originally everything was fine, but early this morning, the secret nobleman brought
Xiao Xunzi, the eunuch next to Min Gui, came to report that it was Min Gui who murdered the Liu family in the cold palace."
Wen Xi snickered in her heart, the Wang family was finally willing to take action, and the first move was to kill Zhang Jia family! Little Xunzi? Wen Xi could remember that this slave was Zhang Jia family's confidant eunuch, and he was also bribed
?! Could it be that Mrs. Wang had tampered with Zhang Jia's side early in the morning? Zhang Jia was not a light-hearted person, and she was not someone to be underestimated! There was a slight look of surprise on her face, and she said: "This kind of thing cannot be ignored.
Listening brings darkness.”
Yi Fei ordered the nun who was accompanying her to present a letter to Wen Xi, saying: "Xunzi, who was next to Min Gui, presented a suicide note that was said to be Liu's. The contents were shocking. After reading it, I did not dare to read it easily.
After making the decision, I informed Concubine Cheng and came together to ask the Imperial Concubine for instructions!"
Wen Xi hummed and unfolded the letter casually. Wen Xi had seen Liu's handwriting. It was in Liu style, and the vertical strokes were longer. This was indeed a characteristic of Liu's handwriting. The corners of this letter paper looked a bit old.
Wen Xi couldn't tell whether it was true or not for a while. But she was a little confused. It would be fine if someone else exposed it. But it happened to be this little Xunzi, who had been serving the Zhangjia family for more than ten years and had always been loyal.
Why did you suddenly betray someone just by saying betrayal? Is it because Wang's bribery methods are too powerful?
Wen Xi thought for a long time and said, "It does look like Liu's handwriting." Fu raised his head and looked at Concubine Yi and Concubine Cheng, "What do you think?"
He recalled in his heart that the Zhang Jia family, together with the Liu family, made witchcraft and hid it in the flower bed in the back hall of the Chengqian Palace, and conspired to frame Wen Xi. Later, when the incident happened, the Liu family was thrown into the cold palace, and the Zhang Jia family was afraid that she would say something detrimental to her.
Liu wrote a suicide note after he became mute. There were many words of curse and resentment against Zhang Jia, and every word was filled with hatred.
Concubine Cheng frowned and said: "An Bin had a long-standing problem with migraines during her lifetime. Xiao Xunzi reported that Zhang Jia was using the properties of medicine and the cold nature of food. The two were in conflict with each other, and it was like taking chronic poison, which killed An Bin!"
The Tai Hospital checked An Bin’s prescriptions and daily diet list, and found out that she died from this.”
Concubine Yi sneered and said: "So, it seems that the Zhangjia family has really been underestimated! He attacked the two chiefs one after another. This person has great plans and ambitions!" Then she looked at Wen Xi and said, "Please do it again.
The imperial concubine will issue an edict to deal with the Zhangjia family."
Wen Xi slowly put down the letter and said, "This month, Concubine Yi, you are in charge of the harem. What do you think should be done?"
Concubine Yi raised her chest and raised her head, and said sternly: "The most serious illness of the Zhangjia family is death. However, both the emperor and the queen mother are not in the palace now. I think it is better to confine the Zhangjia family first and be careful with those who serve them.
The Eighth Princess will be under the custody of the Secretary, and the Eighth Princess will be temporarily handed over to the care of a secret nobleman. When the Emperor returns to Luan, he will ask for the imperial edict."
Wen Xi nodded, "That's right. You just draft the decree and send it to me." She turned her head and said, "Zhu'er stamped it directly. There is no need to ask for instructions. Just issue the decree and inform the Sixth Palace!"
With Wen Xi's words, naturally everything went quickly. The Min nobles were confined to the house, and the daughter they gave birth to, the Eighth Princess, was still in her infancy. She was carried out of the East Side Hall in her sleep and sent to the main hall to be handed over to the Mi noble Wang, who served as the princess's wet nurse.
, the nanny was also handed over to the main palace. Mingui was just a nobleman, with only four maids and four eunuchs to serve him. At this time, all his sons were detained in Shenxingsi. The eunuchs Yanjia and Yanjia were dispatched by Yikun Palace and Changchun Palace respectively.
Under the supervision, no one is allowed to meet Zhang Jia, and she is not allowed to go out even half a step.
In this way, the Zhangjia family became a caged bird. Even so, she was still a noble person. She was not short-changed every time, and she had enough food and clothing, but she was not allowed to see the eighth princess. Regarding this matter, Concubine Yi had already written a letter and ordered someone to send it to Mulan.
Let Kangxi know everything beforehand.
The eighth princess suddenly left her biological mother and cried endlessly every day. Zhang Jia was banned from the side hall and could hear her daughter's cries. She begged the nursing mothers to let her see her daughter every day. The mothers were very strict.
I'm an old man, so of course I won't allow it.
Miguiren has taken better care of the eighth princess than the fourteenth elder brother these days. He takes care of her every day, for fear that something bad will happen. After a few days, he is so tired and haggard that the eighth princess finally stops crying.
.
"Master, it's not good!" Zhu'er hurriedly ran in, "Yonghe Palace has come to report that the eighth princess has acne!"
"What?!" Pimples? Smallpox? In this era, smallpox can also kill people! Especially for such a small child! Wen Xi suddenly became restless. What's more, smallpox is extremely contagious, and he is afraid that he will be infected in an instant.
