Just one month after Hongzhou's marriage, Prince Yi, who was also the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, formally reported to the emperor the details of the completion of the renovation of the two mansions.
At this time, the older brothers became nervous. Although everyone knew that according to their age, the two mansions must be for the third brother and the fourth brother!
But that’s just a Baylor-level mansion!
Who would be willing to accept a mere Dorobel?
The elder third elder brother was unwilling to accept only the title of Baylor, and the fourth elder brother was even more unwilling. So he went to the emperor's Jiuzhou Qingyan to ask An to kowtow, trying to play the emotional card.
Seeing this, the third elder brother was not to be outdone. He got up earlier every day and ran to the emperor's palace before dawn to pay his respects.
However, Hong Zhou remained as usual. He was determined not to go to the imperial court unless the emperor summoned him.
The actions of the first two sons annoyed Yongzheng, and Hongzhou's actions made Yongzheng feel a little troubled. Is this kid a little too calm? Aren't you afraid that I will kick you out?! You don't even pretend to be filial.
Will you? Bastard!
April is the best time of the year. It is warm but not hot. Peonies and peonies are all blooming in brilliant colors.
Many peonies were also transplanted in Shujin's Danning Hall, including a century-old Wei Zi tree - it was half dead the year before last, and not many bloomed last year, but it finally bloomed in full bloom this year.
Peonies are delicate, and the older the tree, the easier it is to die after transplanting.
As for where this peony was transplanted from...it's naturally the moon and clouds.
Anyway, the queen has turned into withered bones, so I guess she won't mind.
Well, even if she minded, she wouldn't be able to live to settle the score with Shu Jin.
Early this morning, Concubine Mao and Concubine Mi also came, and together they were having tea in the Bajiao Chanxin Pavilion in the northwest corner of the courtyard, admiring this top-quality Wei Zi.
Shu Jin also asked people to make peony cakes and peony cakes, and served the best Mingqian tea to the guests. Concubine Mi always had a mouth as sweet as honey.
Yue Kaiyun is much better."
This also stepped on the late queen's foot.
Concubine Mi's mouth is really sweet when it's sweet, and it's really bad when it's bad.
Concubine Mao covered her lips and sneered. She looked at the peony tree that was taller than a person, with a bit of admiration in her eyes, "Looking at it, there must be hundreds of them, right?"
Shu Jin said with a smile: "Yesterday Lu Xue counted a total of 108 flowers."
Concubine Mao nodded: "The number is also auspicious, it is a good sign."
Concubine Mi suddenly said: "I heard that the third elder brother and the fourth elder brother often go to pay respects to the emperor recently, but the fifth elder brother... is still as usual." - The imperial concubine was not anxious at all.
Shu Jin was eating peony cakes in his mouth, and couldn't help but laughed softly: "What's the use of holding on to the Buddha's feet temporarily?"
Concubine Mao also sneered and said: "Yes, the third elder brother is stupid, that's all for doing this. How come this fourth elder brother -" Concubine Mao didn't say the following words, but she couldn't hide the contempt in her eyes.
of.
At this moment, Zhang Shoufa came in a hurry: "Your Majesty, the Emperor has arrived!"
Shu Jin was slightly stunned, and glanced at the sun in the sky again. At this hour...it was just the beginning of the court. Now that the previous court was busy, why did Yongzheng come to the harem?
Shao Bu hurriedly adjusted his appearance and led Concubine Mao and Concubine Mi out of the pavilion to greet the holy driver.
Yongzheng was wearing an azure dragon gown. Apparently he came directly without changing into the auspicious clothes for the Xiaochao.
"Why are you two here?" Yong Zheng glanced at Concubine Mao and Concubine Mi next to Geng.
Shu Jin hurriedly smiled and said: "The peonies in my concubine's palace are in bloom, so I specially invited Concubine Mao and Concubine Mi to come over to enjoy the flowers and have tea."
Only then did Yongzheng see that there were tea and snacks in the pavilion in front of him, and couldn't help but hum: "You guys are quite comfortable!"
Shu Jin: I know you are so busy.
Shu Jin could only say with a smile: "Today's Mingqian tea was brewed very well. Would the Emperor want one?"
Yongzheng sighed and strode into the pavilion.
Shu Jin hurriedly signaled to his subordinates to remove the leftovers, replace them with more exquisite snacks, and personally serve Mingqian new tea to the emperor.
Yongzheng was not interested in those delicate and sweet snacks, so he took a few sips of Mingqian tea and put it down.
Concubine Mao also saw that the emperor seemed unhappy, so she hurriedly picked up the auspicious words and said: "Your Majesty, look at this Wei Zi, she is so magnificent today."
Yong Zheng glanced at the Wei Zihua tree and said coldly: "It's okay."
Mao Fei:......
The emperor is really becoming more and more difficult to serve.
Yong Zheng glanced at Concubine Mao and Concubine Mi again, "Do you two have anything else to do?"
Shu Jin: This is to drive away guests.
Seeing this, Concubine Mao and Concubine Mi did not dare to stay here. They hurriedly curtsied and said, "I leave you, my concubine." Then they gave Shu Jin a sympathetic and helpless look, and they both left Danning Hall.
Shu Jin:……
She could see that Yongzheng's unhappiness was directed at her!
But Shu Jin really didn't do anything to offend the Dog Emperor.
The only reason is that Hong Zhou has not been as filial and diligent as his third elder brother and fourth elder brother recently.
Shu Jin couldn't help but cursed secretly: MMP.
What do you call this? It’s the same as always, isn’t it good?
Of course Yongzheng would not openly say that this bastard Hong Zhou was too unkind to me. He said with a straight face: "Hong Zhou has been slacking off a bit since we got married."
Shu Jin: You are so lazy about your grandma. Apart from being lazy on the third day of the wedding, Hongzhou soon started studying, riding and shooting as usual. Even Yongzheng didn't find any fault with him.
I took the exam several times and there were no problems.
Although Shu Jin felt sorry for his son, he did not dare to go against the emperor. He could only force out a smile and said: "Although Hongzhou is married, he is still young. If there is anything he does not do well, the emperor needs to give him more advice."
It’s admonishment.”
How do you mention something like "diligence"?! This actually put Yong Zheng in trouble.
Therefore, Yongzheng glanced at the imperial concubine Geng coldly and said, "Concubine Qi and Concubine Xi are extremely reluctant to part with their son, but you can calm down."
Shu Jin laughed sarcastically: "It is an ancestral rule for princes to divide their palaces. How dare I have any objection?"
Yong Zheng hummed and said, "Aren't you afraid that I will send Hong Zhou out as well?"
also?
Does it mean that the two Baylor Mansions are really for the third and fourth elder brothers?
In fact, it would be much easier to go out of the branch house than to stay in the palace. Unfortunately, it was related to the reserve position, so Shu Jin had to be careful in his response.
So, Shu Jin said with a smile: "Hongzhou has been in awe of the emperor's father since he was a child, so he doesn't dare to be like the third elder brother and the fourth elder brother. If he were separated from the palace, Hong Zhou would certainly be lost for a while, but as time went by, he would only
Afraid of being happy."
The days under my biological father's nose were anything but relaxing.
After hearing this, Yong Zheng couldn't help but draw a dark line. Hong Zhou, a bastard, is indeed a bit out of tune. If he is released... he will be a wild horse that has escaped from the reins. He still doesn't know what to do! In his previous life, he didn't do that.
That’s it!!
Yong Zheng rubbed his brows and chose Hong Zhou from a thousand choices. Naturally, he couldn't let him learn bad things - I have to be more strict!
At this moment, Hong Zhou, who was studying hard in the study, suddenly felt a chill running down his spine.
After leaving Danning Hall that day, Yongzheng issued an imperial edict directly, conferring the titles of the third elder brother Hongshi, the fourth elder brother Hongli as Duoluobele, and the fifth elder brother Hongzhou as Prince Heshuo, and given the title "He".
Heshuo and the prince!
He also ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to choose an auspicious day to arrange the affairs of the three-beile and four-beile branch offices.
