Lin Yutong actually admired those people who traveled to other worlds, controlled the wind and rain, and became kings. She became the empress without any effort, and then became so wise and powerful. She had had such a dream before, thinking that maybe one day she would
, can also realize such a dream.
But she really stayed with Fourth Master, listening to him analyzing the purpose and intention of everything the emperor did, and taking her to watch Bo Yun's strange court story. She suddenly felt that she might not dare to practice no matter how hard she practiced.
Become an emperor easily.
The prince was reprimanded, and the eighth master reduced the palace expenses, but he was praised.
Honghui and Hongyun went to the study room again. When they took a rest, they came back and said that the ice supply was not as sufficient as in previous years. The imperial dining room basically did not dare to order food. It was a very hard life.
Lin Yutong went into the palace to pay her respects to Concubine De. Concubine De specifically told Lin Yutong to stop sending things to Yonghe Palace. Otherwise, the emperor would find out and be reprimanded again.
She came back and taught Fourth Master to learn from it, "...if I don't think of a way, I can't let the empress and the two children suffer in the palace, right?"
The fourth master immediately agreed. Later, I heard that they had found someone from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, mixed their own preparations, and submitted them to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. If the Ministry of Internal Affairs dared not respond, they could not afford to offend. Besides, the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not dare to respond.
These gentlemen all did it this way, and the ladies would not expose each other, so they did it in such a muddle-headed manner.
Coupled with the fact that the Eighth Master had reduced his status, he was in the current predicament. He didn't want to offend anyone for this. Besides, his own mother-in-law was still in the palace.
With these things working together, the mother-in-law has a really good life.
Concubine De looked at the two filial piety in front of her and sighed inwardly.
The things prepared by the fourth family are not eye-catching at first glance, but they are practical. The plain clothing materials and plain jewelry are not in line with frugality. They are comfortable and not eye-catching.
The things from the old fourteenth family were so splendid that she, as a mother-in-law, didn’t know how valuable they were. But the emperor had already said he was frugal, so wouldn’t he be scolded for wearing these things?
After all, he is young and has an impetuous temper. It is hard to say whether he can handle this matter.
"Put this away." Concubine De pointed at the things that Old Fourteen respected.
After a summer, Hongzhao not only walked smoothly, but his speech became clearer as well. As a weaned child, he didn’t have to choose any complementary food. Maybe he ate more fruits and melons in the summer, but he lost some weight. His facial features also became clearer.
He is indeed most similar to Fourth Master.
The Fourth Master was also the most amused by this kid, and would occasionally take him to the study.
This kid acted all kinds of things in front of Lin Yutong, and completely changed his appearance in front of the fourth master. He was extremely well-behaved.
It wasn't until summer was over that Fourth Master said, "Let's give the children some autumn fat." This was because he felt sorry for Hong Zhao's weight loss.
In fact, after the child was weaned, the milk fat fell off. This is a normal thing. But the fourth master still felt distressed when he saw it.
Lin Yutong always had words like this in one ear and out the other. He said yes quickly, but never took it seriously. Hong Zhao's health was fine.
He just nodded his head in agreement. Then he changed the subject and said, "What do you plan to give me as a gift for this year's Mid-Autumn Festival?"
The emperor is crying out for poverty, and it is not like he did in previous years when he piled up gold and jade and sent them to the palace.
The fourth master pondered for a long time and then said: "It's really hard to decide. Let's take a look and see what everyone is giving. Don't go out of your way."
Don't seek to be outstanding, just seek to have no faults.
The next day, Lin Yutong thought of a good gift as a gift, snowskin mooncakes.
During festivals, there are all rituals. In each prince's palace, the empresses in the palace, among the clans, and the Fourth Master's disciples and subordinates. If you want to be frugal, you must be frugal, right?
I made one myself first and tried it with Mo Yaqi and Hong Shi. Both children said it was delicious.
When Fourth Master came back in the evening, Lin Yutong offered him some treasures to try, "I only made bean paste, jujube paste, five kernels, egg yolks, and fresh meat. Let me try it. In fact, it was made into fruits and vegetables."
, all with shrimps.”
Fourth Master raised his eyebrows, took one, took a bite, and nodded, "Okay, you can use this as a gift this year. There is no need to prepare anything else."
Lin Yutong said in his heart, then this is really frugal. "It's for the palace..."
The Fourth Master pondered for a moment and said, "You can take it in personally to your Majesty's place. If it's for the Emperor, I can take it in person."
This is because he is afraid of being manipulated. "I will do it myself in the palace. Don't worry." Lin Yutong said quickly.
It was not until two days before the Mid-Autumn Festival that Aunt Fu sent a hundred pieces of cloth to Hongzhao, which gave Lin Yutong new inspiration.
"If I don't ask for a hundred rice, that's what I want." Lin Yutong said to the Fourth Master.
The fourth master was stunned for a moment, and then he figured out what Lin Yutong was talking about. He responded: "It should be."
The next day, Lin Yutong also changed into a set of ordinary people's clothes and left the capital.
When they got to a populated place, Fourth Master actually didn't ask anyone to follow him. He only took Lin Yutong with him and went from house to house begging for help.
No matter when, everyone seems to be more kind and tolerant towards filial sons.
The rice in ordinary people's homes is not considered to be of the highest quality. Each family only has a handful of rice, some with skin on them and some with yellow color. But you listen to these people say blessings one by one, and then put the rice away.
When he put the bag in Lin Yutong's hand, the Fourth Master bowed to him very sincerely and thanked him.
For a whole day, the two of them visited thousands of homes.
On the Mid-Autumn Festival, Fourth Master, like other brothers, sat in the main hall, pushing cups and setting lamps.
Then all the brothers presented the festival gifts one by one.
The prince sent a Buddhist scripture copied by himself.
Prince Zhi made his own carvings of the Buddha statues out of sandalwood. Although it was not the work of a famous artist and the technique was a bit rough, he carved it all by himself.
The third master sent up a new book compiled by himself and several disciples.
When the Fourth Master arrived, he asked someone to bring rice.
Kangxi couldn't help but ask: "Did you take Fujin to ask for it in person?"
The fourth master replied: "In common people's families, children pray to their parents in this way." The implication is that all children in the world are the same, and he has nothing to praise.
Kangxi glanced at Li Dequan out of the corner of his eye, and Li Dequan took advantage of the opportunity to serve tea and whispered: "The fourth master took Fujin with him and visited thousands of houses very piously. He didn't take anyone else with him."
Kangxi repeatedly said, "Have someone bring it to the imperial kitchen. I will eat it tonight."
After being treated like this by the Fourth Master, there really isn’t anything outstanding next.
The brothers looked at the fourth master with a knife-like look in their eyes. The fourth master was still treacherous and did not use anything of his own to please the old master. It was simply unreasonable.
After waiting for a while, when everyone had a bowl of porridge in front of them, they all praised the Fourth Master with their mouths, but they couldn't help but cursed in their hearts. In addition, the taste of the porridge was really not good, but no one dared to express it.
I feel a little uncomfortable.
Honghui and Hongyun sat behind Fourth Master and saw the situation clearly. When the porridge came, both children had been educated and did not find it difficult to swallow at all. Compared with brown rice porridge, this was already
OK.
The other emperors and grandsons were not like these two, and they couldn't swallow such a meal. Their faces couldn't help but leak out.
The emperor was watching from above, and he could clearly see next year's actions. He couldn't help but have a better impression of the children of the fourth family.
When he came back in the evening, Lin Yutong asked: "Did you really please the emperor?"
"Who knows whether you like it or not. The emperor praised Lao Ba some time ago. In front of Lao Ba's gate, there are cars and horses all day long. Therefore, if I don't praise you today, I will always praise you when I find an opportunity.
Yes." Fourth Master smiled.
Lin Yutong suddenly realized, "That's not a waste of effort."
The Fourth Master patted Lin Yutong and said, "I sincerely want to wish Emperor Ama a long life."
Lin Yutong looked at him and knew that what he said was true. It was said that the most ruthless imperial family was the most ruthless, but sometimes she felt that these people were all living people with humane feelings. (. )
