Kangxi looked at the eighth master with full tolerance: "The fact that you can bring people here shows that you are open-minded and aboveboard." After saying that, he pondered for a long time and then said: "Speaking of which, although the words of this charlatan are...
You can’t believe it all, but you can’t disbelieve it either. Sometimes, as a reference, it still has some value.”
What does it mean?
Ba Ye's heart was beating wildly, as if it was about to burst out of his chest.
Did he mean what he thought? Master Ba wasn't sure.
Kangxi said: "This is not a big deal. You don't need to be so cautious. For a Taoist priest, he just said something that he thought was the truth. What can be wrong? Take it back and let him go."
Is it a fact? What is a fact? Is it really the Eight Kings?
Ba Ye felt that his breathing was getting faster.
He didn't dare to fully believe such words. But he preferred that it was true. What came out of the emperor's mouth must also be true.
The eighth master didn't know how he got out of the palace. He just felt light all over, as if his whole heart was about to fly out.
Ba Fujin looked at Ba Ye in surprise, "Yinsu, we have finally come to the end of our hardships."
Since the emperor can say such words, it proves that he still has some affection for Yinsu. If coupled with the recommendation of the courtiers, it can basically be said to be a certainty.
Master Ba shook his head, "Don't be too happy yet, this matter is not that simple." He was afraid that this was a trap that the emperor had dug and was waiting for people to jump in.
There have been three painful lessons. If we add the affected Thirteen, there are already four examples, and he doesn't want to be the fifth.
Bafujin was still talking and heard the voice announcing the good news outside.
"Congratulations, sir, congratulations to Fujin. Your Majesty has just issued a decree. Jin has made the good concubine a good concubine. I'm really happy."
If there is anything else that makes Master Ba feel happy and excited, it must be about Liang Fei.
Ba Fujin turned around, looked at Ba Ye and said: "The Emperor suddenly promoted you to the Empress. This means... Master, this opportunity must not be missed and never come back. If not for anything else, it must be for the sake of the Empress."
As a son, he knew what kind of life the good concubine had lived in these years.
If the emperor can't remember and doesn't go to E Niang's place, people will be panicked and frightened. But if the emperor goes there, E Niang's life will be just as difficult. Every time after serving the emperor, E Niang will be given a soup to avoid the child.
In the harem, this is actually a humiliation. The concubine who has already given birth to an elder brother is given soup to avoid the child. The meaning in it is enough to make them unable to hold their heads up in the palace.
When conferring marriage to herself, she gave E Niang a dignity and promoted her to a good concubine. Ten years later, she was promoted to a concubine.
Only mother and son can understand the sadness in this.
If so, if he could earn some respect for E Niang, why wouldn't he dare to move forward?
The fourth master held the note in his hand with a very strange expression. He couldn't tell what he was feeling at this time. The emperor put the tempting bait and waited for the fish to take the bait.
See if this fish can resist the temptation.
Not all people are like Fourth Master, who can suppress their eagerness to move.
Because of the emperor's actions, the whole capital exploded like cold water poured into a frying pan.
Master Jiu muttered in the room: "No way! The old man can't be so obsessed with it, can he? Are you really attracted to Lao Ba?"
Seeing him wandering around endlessly, Jiu Fujin made people dizzy and said, "What? Are you unhappy? Isn't it good for me to be with the eighth master? If the eighth master goes up, I can't take advantage of him."
"What do you know?" Master Jiu glared at Jiu Fujin, "Now Brother Bage needs our brothers so that he can talk. Who knows what will happen when he is no longer needed? It's so easy to take advantage of being the eighth brother.
of?"
"Do you still know this?" Jiu Fujin raised his eyebrows and said: "Not to mention anything else, as long as my good eighth brother is half as good to you as the fourth master is to the thirteenth master, what can I say without being unreasonable? In these years,
How much money did I take to compensate the Eighth Master? What did I get in exchange? Look at the Thirteenth Master, what did you do to the Fourth Master? In addition to being a hindrance, it was still a hindrance. If I fell into the pit, it was the Fourth Master who found a way to get people to him.
The doctor is here. The doctor in the house was given by the fourth master. Even the milk cakes the children eat are made by the fourth sister-in-law. What is this? This is called affection. Look at your eighth brother and his wife again.
Eighth sister-in-law, how much money has been spent on our family, do you think she has ever given me a good face? Are we rushing to curry favor with others? What do they have? Speaking of origin, my mother-in-law is from the Guo Luo Luo family.
She is already one of the four concubines. How do I need to support him to live my life? I don’t understand your husband’s affairs, but these couples have similar positions. Look at how the fourth sister-in-law treats the thirteen younger siblings.
, and look at how the eighth sister-in-law treats me and my tenth brother and sister. You can know what the father’s attitude is towards these brothers.”
Master Jiu was not happy at first, but now Jiu Fujin was saying, "You can do it, you, I have never seen you add fuel to my fire like this."
Jiu Fujin curled his lips and said: "Anyway, I don't have a son. Even if I earn a lot of money, it won't fall on me. I don't care whether you save it for your son or not. I'm a busybody."
Already."
Master Jiu was confused, why don't you blame me for not getting pregnant? Ever since I was thrown into the water by you, I dare not not come back and sleep on time. In this matter, you can't blame me for not working hard, right? Then this
If I can't get pregnant, it's your fault. Why is this bitch so confident?
He stared at Jiu Fujin, who ignored him and only played with the rouge on his hand. "I have to get some more money. I don't have enough money to prepare the New Year's gift for the palace this year."
This prodigal bitch!
"Why is it not enough?" Mr. Jiu almost jumped. Everyone who opened and shut his mouth was money. Is he in charge of the treasury?
Ah! Even though I am in charge of the treasury, I can’t move the money from the treasury back to you for use.
Jiu Fujin snorted softly, "We are still doing business. I didn't know there would be heavy snow this year, transportation from north to south would be inconvenient, and prices would have gone up."
What nonsense!
Master Jiu didn't bother her. He finally understood that as long as he gave money to Lao Ba or Lao Ten, Fujin would definitely find a reason to blackmail him.
It seems to say that you have money to spend on your brothers, but no money to buy rouge and gouache for your wife.
This day is really unbearable.
Brother, brother is not loyal. Wife, wife is not considerate.
Life has simply lost its meaning.
This year’s New Year has arrived in such a strange atmosphere.
Concubine De's smile looks even brighter this year. Everyone knows that two of the three princes still standing today are Concubine De's sons. Whoever can survive will have trouble with her.
"Why didn't you bring Hong Zhao?" Concubine De asked Lin Yutong.
Hongzhao is still young, so Lin Yutong is naturally reluctant to let his child enter the palace and be restrained. However, in previous years, Concubine De would not ask this question. Being able to ask this question this year proves that she has confidence. Even if the grandson is making trouble, he is not afraid of anyone gossiping.
This is how Lin Yutong understands Concubine De's mentality.
She smiled and said: "I got up early today, and this kid can't even wake up. I just said that I don't care, just put him on and carry him away. Our master won't let him."
Concubine De hurriedly said: "Don't dare to scare the child like that. There will be a long time to come."
Lin Yutong smiled and said: "I used to be quite patient with Honghui, but now that I'm in front of Hongzhao, I can't be patient at all."
Concubine De smiled understandingly, "You are raising naughty boys, that's why you are like this."
After saying a few common words, Concubine De couldn't just chat with Lin Yutong. She suddenly became concerned about the Fourteenth Fortune.
The Wanyan family's second son, ranked fourth among the Fourteenth House, was born in Laba in the 46th year of Kangxi's reign. He was less than a month past his first birthday.
Concubine De still asked about the child named Hong Ming with the same concern. The safest topic for mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to talk about together is these three generations of emperors.
Lin Yutong was lost in thought when Concubine De suddenly said: "Honghui, you also have to prepare the people early?"
Preparation person? Who?
Lin Yutong was stunned for a long time before he realized that De Fei was talking about the girl who taught human affairs.
It turns out that in the blink of an eye, Honghui is already thirteen.
The original owner of this body was not Shisan who married Fourth Master.
In the evening, Lin Yutong expressed emotion to Fourth Master like this.
The fourth master was probably thinking about what happened in the palace during the day. He muttered for a long time before he came back to his senses. He smiled and said: "It is inevitable that the child will grow up. If you have a semen, you have to teach everything that needs to be taught.
He will no longer be curious about men and women, and he will not be tempted to change his temperament."
Lin Yutong couldn't say whether this approach was right or wrong. If nothing unexpected happened, Honghui would take over the fourth master's job. Honghui was asked to only marry one daughter-in-law and was not allowed to take concubines. Not to mention the fourth master, even the emperor probably wouldn't do it.
promise.
Since the emperor came to Changchun Garden, he would ask someone to take Honghui there every few days. He was very low-key. He had nothing to do. He just ate and talked with him. Occasionally, he told stories in the book. Speaking of which, this matter has not happened until now.
There was no news about it, so the emperor should have done a good job of keeping it secret.
The Emperor's fondness for Honghui must have been well known to the Fourth Master.
Therefore, Lin Yutong actually does not have much say in this matter.
They all say, don’t do to others what you don’t want others to do to you. Because of this, Lin Yutong couldn’t sleep half the night.
But then again, it's really not that easy to tell clearly between men and women. I hope Honghui's Fujin can be a woman who can win his heart.
In Fourth Master's opinion, Lin Yutong's worries were all due to idleness.
He had more important things to do and was about to get busy. He had no time to pay attention to her innocent moans and groans.
After the New Year, memorials recommending princes were sent from all over the country.
The fourth master was walking back and forth in the study, feeling a little embarrassed.
Everyone had to recommend a prince, and he was no exception. But this selection was a big problem. He was reluctant to recommend anyone, but he had to recommend it.
Not recommending him proved that he had selfish motives. If he recommended him, he really felt that no one else was suitable except the deposed prince. Of course, the fourth master could not do such a stupid thing as recommending himself.
Pulling the useless prince out for a walk again? Fourth Master felt a little guilty.
Just when he was feeling upset, Su Peisheng came in and reported, "The Fourteenth Master is here and wants to see him."
The Fourth Master frowned. What was he doing here at this time? As long as the Fourteenth took the initiative to find him, nothing good would happen.
Sure enough, as soon as Shi Shi opened his mouth, Fourth Master wanted to kick him out.
"What's wrong with Bage? It's called Fourth Brother who looks down on him so much. Who doesn't know that Bage is destined to be his destiny? Fourth brother, you and Bage have always been at odds. Now you won't take this opportunity to repair the relationship with Bage."
, how long do we have to wait?" Fourteenth's tone was really serious, as if he was treating his own brother as a fool, and continued to deceive him: "Fourth brother, don't you still have illusions about yourself. Don't be ridiculous, everyone is crazy.
You have offended everyone. Who will recommend you? If Old Thirteen can come out, maybe he will wholeheartedly recommend you. But what to do? Your good Thirteenth brother is still locked up at home at the moment. You too
Don't rely on me to recommend you, we brothers can't just hang out together, right?"
Fourth Master closed his eyes. He really didn't want to deal with this idiot who regarded everyone in the world as a fool. By nominating Lao Ba, he automatically gave up the competition. Then as long as Lao Fourteen killed Lao Ba, everything would be in order.
But why should I fulfill him?
The Fourth Master felt the veins on his forehead popping. He couldn't bear it anymore, grabbed the inkstone on the table and threw it at the Fourteenth Old Man.
Old Fourteen was startled and hurriedly ran away. He wanted to scream, but when he looked up at Fourth Master's face, he immediately said angrily: "Whether Fourth Brother believes it or not, I really do it for Fourth Brother's good. You...bite
Lu Dongbin, if you don’t know a good heart, I won’t care about you."
Saying that, he ran outside.
The Fourth Master spent a long time alone in the study, panting, and then managed to suppress the anger in his heart.
When Lin Yutong found out, he just sighed, "You are seeking death! Sooner or later, you will make Fourth Master angry. You can bear it."
The stir-fry of Ba Ye was in full swing in the capital, but suddenly an imperial edict suddenly lowered the temperature in the capital.
The emperor suddenly promoted the fourth beile to the title of Prince Yong. The third beile was the prince of Chengjun, the fifth beile was the prince of Hengjun, and the seventh beile was the prince of Chunjun.
Among the princes of Yishui, Prince Si Ye is unique, and he suddenly stood out. (. )
