Wen Xi looked at the intact large square box of rosewood inlaid with tourmaline and Liuyun Baifu, as well as the one million taels of silver notes neatly stacked inside. She was surprised and asked quickly: "Why?
Not used?!" This box, and the number of banknotes in it, were the ones Wen Xi gave him a few days ago.
Yinlu smiled and said: "Fourth brother has allocated 800,000 shi of grain from the Ministry of Household Affairs. My son will go to Jiangnan to purchase some more. The price will be cheaper. The money is enough. Eniang has these banknotes, so she can
If we can turn around the grain farm, we don't have to worry about it going bankrupt."
When Yinzi returned and her son's matter was settled, Wenxi suddenly felt happy, which was in sharp contrast to her gloomy look a few days ago.
Seeing his mother-in-law looking so happy and a little obsessed with money, Yinlu also had a somewhat comfortable smile on his face.
"By the way -" Wen Xi put away the banknotes and immediately stopped smiling, "I heard that Nian is pregnant again?!"
Seeing the way his mother's face changed faster than the sky, the corners of Yinlu's mouth twitched twice, and he hurriedly responded: "Yes, it's Yirou who is more than three months pregnant."
Nian's ability to have a big belly is also very powerful. Now she is pregnant for the fourth time. Nian Yirou gave birth to Yinlu's third daughter He Yao for her first child. Unfortunately, she died early. Her second child was Yinlu.
Hongyan, the sixth son of Yinlu, was adopted by Yinli. The third child was Yinlu’s sixth daughter, Heya. Now it’s the fourth child... But Wenxi remembered that Nian was hurt when she gave birth to Heya.
Now she's pregnant again before she's even taken care of her?! She's just toying with her body!
Forget it, no one forced her to get pregnant anyway. I think Nian was very happy at this moment! She worked hard and didn't take her health seriously...if she hadn't been pregnant with her grandson or granddaughter.
, Wen Xi didn’t bother to ask!
Yinlu showed a flattering face and said: "Mother Huang, my son is here today to ask for some anti-fetal medicine from Aunt Yu. Take it back to Yirou!"
Wen Xi gave a gentle hum and said: "Don't just pamper Nian! Yilan is your legitimate wife!" Seeing that Yinlu's recent pampering of Nian seems to be a little too much, although Yilan did not come to complain, but his face
No one can be deceived by the sadness in the book. Wen Xi really feels sorry for this daughter-in-law now. Although Yilan has a son and a daughter, it is not as good as if the children were not born by herself, Wanbi!
Yinlu nodded hurriedly and said: "My son knows, E Niang can rest assured!"
Wen Xi reminded Yin Lu because she was worried! This bastard is born to be a ruffian. There are groups of concubines in the backyard, and his sons and daughters are jumping out one by one. Last year in his house, Liu, a daughter of the Zhenglan flag of the Han army, was wearing a ginseng collar.
Shi gave birth to his seventh son, Hong Yi. This year, Shi was pregnant again...
Now the Queen Mother's three-year period of filial piety has not passed, and two concubines have become pregnant in succession. After all, it is a royal family, and it is inevitable to have a lot of compromises in keeping filial piety. Usually, as long as you don't do anything too outrageous within a hundred days. Back then, the eldest brother Yinzhen also had
During the filial piety period of the Empress Dowager, she could only have a child with Fujin.
Kangxi hoped to have more grandchildren, so instead of blaming him at all, he secretly gave him concubines. As a grandmother, Wen Xi was not surprised to see so many grandchildren born.
Half a month later. Compared with the joy of having the banknotes back in her pocket, Wen Xi was even more happy when news came from the northwest front. The right-wing army led by Yinzhen met the main force of Cewang Alabutan and won a complete victory in the battle.
, when Yinzhen pursued him, he even captured Cewang Alabutan alive. Unfortunately, Cewang Alabutan committed suicide on the way back to Beijing.
After the great victory, although it was not possible to immediately return to the capital, it would still take some time to intercept the remaining fleeing tribes in Cewang Alabutan.
I received a safe letter from my son Fei Ge. It was full of joy, but the letter was very dissatisfied with Yue Zhongqi's awkwardness in killing all the prisoners. However, there had been incidents of kidnapping prisoners before, and he was only a deputy general and could not stop it.
Yue Zhongqi’s actions.
Cleaning up the mess was a meticulous and tedious job. The army led the elite forward soldiers to pursue deep into the prairie. It was really time-consuming. Therefore, in the winter of the fifty-ninth year of Kangxi, Yinzhen was not able to come back to celebrate the New Year.
The Empress Dowager has passed the three-year mourning period, coupled with the great victory in the northwest, Kangxi's temperament was fond of extravagance, so this year's New Year's Eve celebration was particularly grand.
Especially the great victory in the northwest. Kangxi was very happy and became increasingly energetic: "The war in the northwest was settled faster than I thought! I asked Yinlu to go to war. It was indeed a wise decision!"
Looking at Kangxi's proud and narcissistic look, Wen Xi couldn't help but roll her eyes, and then thought of the rumors circulating in the harem, especially the rumors about how the "Great General King" should be worthy of his title... Wen Xi asked: "This
Does the Second Emperor plan to confer royal titles on both the Fourteenth Prince and Yinzhen?"
Kangxi thought for a while and said: "Yinzhen originally did not contribute much, but he has no merit but hard work, so I will make him the Prince of Duoluoxun! Yinzhen should take the first credit this time, and I plan to make him the Prince of Duoluozhe!"
Although they are all county princes, this can be seen in their titles. The word "Xun" in the title of Prince Xun means humility and prudence. The title can only be considered to be fair. The title "Zhe" planned to be given to Yinxun means wisdom.
The meaning of wisdom is very good!
It's not a big deal for a prince to be crowned king. It's just that the first 12 princes and the 13th prince are still Baylor, and the 14th prince Yinzhen has to catch up! What's more, it's even more important to be crowned king because of military merit.
Some glory. The secret concubine has become a lot more honest since she was ridiculed by Wen Xi in front of all the concubines last time. However, Kangxi has not revealed to outsiders his intention to make the second king, and the rumors have spread throughout the harem.
..
Kangxi's eyes were very soothing and he said: "After the Thousand Old Man's Banquet, I will abdicate and become the Supreme Emperor, and go to live with you in Changchun Garden!"
Suddenly, a gentle and heartfelt joy filled the corners of his lips and eyebrows, and his expression became soft and gentle. In the 60th year of Kangxi's reign, everything had come in time...
"I have ruled the world for sixty years. Sixty years ago, on the seventh day of July, I ascended the throne in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Sixty years later, I also plan to abdicate and become the Supreme Emperor on the seventh day of July this year. It will be a whole sixty years!" Kangxi's face
The emperor was already filled with joy, the joy of retiring after his success, but now that he is about to abdicate, if he destroys Zhungeer and kills Cewang Alabutan, it will be a highlight in the history books!
"I have been on the throne for sixty years. I dare not say that there will be no successors, but I am already unprecedented!" Kangxi saw the old face showing the pride that could only belong to an emperor.
Wen Xi pursed her lips and smiled and said: "That's because the emperor was only eight years old when he ascended the throne!" Although emperors who ascended the throne at the age of eight are not unprecedented, they are still very few!
Hearing Wen Xi's teasing words, Kangxi was not angry. He just laughed twice, took Wen Xi's hand and sat on the day bed together, "If it weren't for you, I would not have any plans to abdicate and become the Supreme Emperor!"
Indeed, it turned out that Kangxi did indeed die on the throne. Kangxi's skinny and crane-bone hands rubbed the back of his warm hands, with a look of attachment in his eyes: "You are still so young, and I also want to live a few more years and spend more time with you."
How many years do you have!"
Her gentle eyes suddenly filled with an indescribable tenderness, and her tone was soft and affirmative: "It will definitely work!" With the Huan Yang Pill, he could extend his life for fifteen years, although fifteen years was not enough for her.
It's not very long, but it's not too short either. With a satisfied smile on his face, he snuggled into Kangxi's arms and asked, "Is the emperor really willing to abdicate?"
Kangxi smiled broadly: "If it weren't for you, I would naturally not be willing to part with you." Who in the world would take the initiative to give up the power of an emperor once they have it?
At this moment, Wen Xi couldn't help but be moved. Although Kangxi had said many times that he would abdicate and become the Supreme Emperor, Wen Xi was always skeptical, and was afraid that even if he had that intention, he would not survive that day. Now it seems,
Some progress are so smooth, as if everything is so beautiful.
"Your Majesty..." Wen Xi murmured, her beautiful face becoming more and more enchanting.
Kangxi slowly stroked his gentle black hair with his hand and said, "I told you earlier, just call me by my cousin."
Wen Xi pursed her lips, shook her head and said, "It doesn't sound good!" Wen Xi didn't like Kangxi's nickname "Ti Yuan".
"You!" Kangxi's helpless tone was full of endearment, "That's all, if you don't like it, just call me by my name in private."
Wen Xi was slightly surprised, "Didn't the Emperor not let me scream?"
Kangxi flicked his gentle eyebrows and said: "I am already at this age, why do I still insist on those people? Besides, I will abdicate in a few months!"
The curve of the corners of Wen Xi's lips rose higher and higher. As Kangxi was an emperor, except for his elders, he could be called by his name in private. It would be disrespectful to call others by his name. This concept was deep-rooted. Wen Xi had no intention of getting entangled in this.
I just didn't expect that Kangxi would take the initiative to give in one day.
He gave in, and Wen Xi was naturally not polite, so she rubbed his chest twice and called softly: "Xuan Ye."
Kangxi hummed in a low voice, "Ga Luo, it's great to have you here."
Her warm eyes narrowed slightly, "Galluo, that's not her real name after all. It's just that Kangxi was still immersed in happiness and didn't notice it."
In February, the Western Expeditionary Army returned to the court. This time, all the captives were killed by Yue Zhongqi, so there was no ceremony to present the prisoners, which inevitably made the triumph somewhat lacking.
On the day when his two sons returned to Beijing, Kangxi issued an edict, conferring the title of Prince of Duolozhe on the eighteenth son of the emperor, and the title of Prince of Duoloxun on the fourteenth son of the emperor. The decree of granting the titles was written in an imperial edict, with the younger brother in front and the elder brother behind.
It is different from the previous few times where the brothers were arranged in the order of eldest and youngest.
For a while, there was a lot of discussion in the harem, saying, "Although the Fourteenth Master and the Eighteenth Master are older and younger, they are even more distinguished as legitimate concubines! The legitimate son respects the concubine, so it is appropriate that the Eighteenth Master should be given the title first!"
There was no prisoner presentation ceremony, but there was still a celebration banquet. During the day, the front court celebrated Yue Zhongqi and the two princes. At night, the harem also celebrated in the Taiji Hall. Wen Xi issued the imperial edict, and all the concubines and above attended the banquet.
Prince Fujin and all adults of the emperor's grandson will also come to participate. This is also Kangxi's intention. (To be continued...)
