Mingzhu was already very angry in her heart, but others couldn't see it. She dug a hole for her little nephew and played word games in front of him. This was a straightforward humiliation!
Just when he was about to speak, Yin'a's little hand held his uncle's hand. The child smiled and said: "Suoxiang, actually I don't like Yuqing Palace very much, but I saw that the prince liked it, so I didn't say anything."
"..." Suo'etu choked, and he had a bad feeling.
Yin A continued: "Yuqing Palace is too narrow. Although it is exquisite inside, it looks really cramped. Of course, children will find it fun to live there, but when they grow up, it will be very uncomfortable."
Mingzhu turned her face sideways to hold back her laughter. He couldn't bear to look at Suo'etu's face. His nephew really looked like his uncle.
Mr. Suo San never admits defeat. He forced a smile and said: "The eldest brother is indeed very smart. He has already thought of what will happen in the future."
"I don't dare to take it seriously. But Suo Xiang, what do you think of Yuqing Palace?" Yin A threw the question back without blushing, "Suo Xiang thinks that in the future, the prince will marry a wife and have children. Is it possible to live here?"
Mingzhu knew that Suo'etu's nonsense should have come to an end, and Master Suo San was shooting himself in the foot.
Mr. Suo San left Yuqing Palace laughing all the way, and Mingzhu laughed heartily. Suo'etu shot himself in the foot. Since he said that Yuqing Palace was the emperor's love for the prince, he couldn't
He changed his mind and said that Yuqing Palace was not good.
"How did you think of getting married and having children?" On the way to Qianqing Palace, Mingzhu took the time to ask Yin A.
Yin A smiled and said: "Isn't my cousin Chengde getting married? I heard what they said, uncle, can I go and see my cousin's wedding? It should be very lively."
The child's eyes were shining brightly, and Mingzhu suddenly thought of his son Chengde doing the same thing when he saw a new book when he was a child. He couldn't help but said: "Then let uncle ask for permission."
"As long as you have an uncle, it's enough!" Yin A grinned: "I will ask Khan Amma for an order later, and Khan Amma will definitely agree."
Kangxi really agreed, because the day when Chengde got married happened to be the day when the Bo Xue Hong Ci exam was held and we each went down the stairs. Kangxi wanted to bring the prince to attend, but the eldest brother said he was curious about his cousin getting married and wanted to see it.
Look.
At this time, the palace ban and restrictions on the prince were not as strict as they were later. Besides, it was just a child's curiosity. Yin'a was also seven years old and he was not going to the outer city. Kangxi thought for a while and agreed.
When the news spread, the happiest person was not Yin A himself, but Hui concubine. She also prepared a gift for Yin A: "Go give it to your cousin and cousin sister-in-law. Also, remember to give it to Yin A on behalf of her."
Say hello to your aunt."
"My son knows!" The mother and son were talking in the Yanxi Palace. On the way back to the palace, Yin'a was found by Ji Lan's eunuch.
"Oh, this mouth can easily hang an oil can." In the imperial garden, Yin'a sat in front of Ji Lan, "Whatever we want, my brother will do his best."
"Oh, I can't go out to play." Ji Lan supported her chin: "I have no choice but to hang up the oil can... Hey, what is the oil can?"
Yin a: "...an oil pot is an oil pot. Have you never seen it?"
Ji Lan shook his head.
No wonder a dynasty becomes more and more corrupt as it goes on, because it becomes less and less down-to-earth and has never seen anything. The emperor only knows that he has a country to manage, but manages it through numbers that have been modified many times. What exactly is an empire?
So, on the whole they have no idea.
If no one lets them know the various situations in the outside world, then the emperor, who is in the ninth level, is just blind. Yin'a thought about it and became obsessed. So, how did Emperor Kangxi know about the outside world?
After all, I haven't seen him go on patrol or received many secrets or anything like that. The knowledge here seems to be great. If I open a palace in the future, how will I know the news from the outside world?
"Hey, hey, what are you thinking about?"
Ji Lan waved her hand towards Yin A: "It shows that you are not sincere at all, and you still come to ask me what I want, tsk tsk."
"I still have something to do. I'll bring you some fun things when I come back. Let's go!"
Yin A ran back to his elder brother's house and asked the four companions one by one. This question did not matter. Among the four companions, only Bart Albuquerque, who had always been taciturn, knew something about the world.
The remaining three, whether they are caring milk brother Sulu, Sabintu who is good at archery, or even Paleta who loves to read, are all useless.
Because they are all young masters who have been supported and supported by their maids, grandmothers and mothers-in-law.
After asking carefully, Yin'a found out that Ba'te'er's father once served as a general in Guangxi. At the beginning of the San Francisco Rebellion, his mother died in the battle. The next year, Ba'te'er's mother-in-law died in the war.
Mrs. Albuquerque also died of illness. Since returning to Beijing, Bart has been living with his uncles.
"Then how did you get selected as Haha Bead?" Yin A asked curiously.
Ba/Te/Er said: "If I go back to my brother, according to the precedent of the Qing Dynasty, to choose haha beads for my brothers, they must be selected from the children of the ministers. Although my parents are dead, my name is still registered, so I will participate in the election.
"
"So what's it like outside the capital? How much older are you than me? You should have seen it when you returned to the capital, right?"
No wonder Ba'er is taciturn, while Yin'a pulls the bow and he helps hold the arrows, and Yin'a rides a horse, he helps pull the rope. This man only works more, but doesn't show credit for himself.
Because none of the elders in the family taught him these things, Yin'a even guessed that the uncles in his family might not feel angry when they saw him: his son was not chosen to be the prince's companion, but an orphan was actually chosen. People with smaller minds would be surprised.
Not comfortable.
"From now on, you will stay with me." Yin A said: "When I leave the palace and open a mansion, you will be a bodyguard." This is a promise for the future, so that Ba/te/er should not worry.
Ba/ter/knelt down, and what Yin a didn't expect was that he actually swore: "Brother, as long as you have your orders, I will follow my orders!"
In mid-June, the war in the south was victorious, and good news came one after another; King Chun Longxi's health improved slightly, and only the queen was slightly unwell. Against this background, Kangxi began to study Hongci.
Yin'a asked Almu, and he said that some people with literary reputations since the Chongzhen period of the previous dynasty, such as Zhu Yizun, Mao Qiling, You Dong, etc., all came to take the examination of Erxue Hongci.
"Let them all be officials?" Yin'a asked, sitting on the kang, "There are so many officials for them to be."
Aramu smiled and said: "Actually, most of them went back to compile the history of the Ming Dynasty. My brother's uncle, Taifu Nalan, is now in charge of the National History Museum."
Therefore, whether cousin Rongruo interacted with these people, became a disciple of Xu Qianxue and Gu Zhenguan, or whether his uncle Mingzhu became a great book collector, although it was due to their personalities, it also had the emperor's attitude in it.
After all, with these relationships, there would be greater room for negotiation between Kangxi and these survivors of the previous dynasty regarding the National History Museum and other matters.
"Brother, what are you laughing at?" Aramu looked at Yin and thought for a while, then suddenly laughed.
Yin A said: "Bachelor, don't you think it's funny? Nowadays, everyone says that Mr. Gu Yanwu and Mr. Huang Zongxi are the survivors and are loyal to the previous dynasty. But they only have direct descendants as the survivors, and their relatives with foreign surnames and disciples have entered the dynasty one after another... This is amazing
It’s true, it has both a memorial arch and benefits.”
"Having said that, there must be a few people who turned in blank papers in this exam." Alam said and also smiled: "These barbarians are interesting, and they came anyway without putting it off. When they came, they had to hide their objections and teach the white papers.
Even scrawled.
And even if they hand in a blank, as far as I know, when they return to the local area, many of them have very close friendship with the local officials. They say that they will never receive food and salary from the Tatars, but a few of them are still paying me court fees.
Officials are teachers, and they don’t show any mercy when receiving money.”
"The money has passed through two hands, and naturally it doesn't smell like Tatars, so just keep it reluctantly." Yin A smiled disapprovingly, and Alam also laughed.
After being a teacher and student for more than a year, Alam fell in love with Yin A, so he inevitably told him: "Just think about it. When you go to Taifu's place, if you see Mr. Gu Zhenguan, don't talk nonsense."
"I know."
On the day of Rong Ruo's wedding, Kangxi and the prince came to the Baohe Hall to preside over the erudite Hongci department. Yin'a took the gifts prepared by Hui concubine and went to Mingzhu's house with Hahazhuba/ter/er and Sulu. Accompanying him
Also included was the bodyguard Dai Jiashi Qili assigned to him by Kangxi as the head of the bodyguard and army to protect the eldest son of the emperor.
A group of about a hundred people left the Shenwu Gate and went all the way to Houhai Mingzhu Mansion. The housekeeper of the Ming Mansion had been waiting outside for a long time. When he saw the cavalry coming from a distance, he ran in to deliver the message.
People were already coming and going in the Ming Mansion, and even Suo'etu's son Gelfen came with people to give gifts. He looked at the flow of people and said, "Both father and son are really favored. If you continue your marriage, you can marry a first-class princess.
Look at these people."
"It's not just that." The steward of Suofu who came with him said, "I don't know, but I heard that the emperor also allowed my eldest brother to come and watch the ceremony."
Griffin curled his lips: "So what, the noble one is still our prince! The prince of the state must not move lightly. The more noble you are, the less likely you are to move lightly. Running around is ineffective!"
The steward was obedient and did not dare to speak anymore. Gelfen also stopped talking and dismounted in front of Mingzhu Mansion. He met Mingzhu with a smile on his face and the calm and somewhat depressed groom Guan Rongruo.
"Ming Xiang, my Amma asked me to send you gifts and wish Rongruo and his wife a happy marriage and many children and good fortune!"
Mingzhu said: "Okay, thank you for asking for my favor. Come here, please send Gelfen in quickly. My nephew, sit down for a moment. I have to welcome my eldest brother."
Gelfen followed the manager of the Ming Palace and walked in. When he was about to enter the door, he turned around and looked back. He saw a child jumping off the horse and being held in Mingzhu's arms. He heard the child shouting for uncle.
What kind of world is this, Gelfen thought to himself, how could the prince of his family be so close to the Hesheli family?
I heard from Amma that the Crown Prince doesn’t understand Queen Renxiao at all, so that’s not possible. We need to discuss it with Amma when we go back, and let the Crown Prince know that he was not born to a woman from the Niu Hulu family, but from the Hesheli family.
The prince, his mother-in-law, and the Hesheli girl died because of him!
"Your aunt has been waiting for you early in the morning. My name is Kui Xu, and Kui Fang will send you there." Kui Xu, Kui Fang is Mingzhu's second son and third son, both of whom were born to Mrs. Jueluo and Yin'a's cousin.
"Uncle, you can take your cousins to work. Just ask a steward to accompany me to my aunt's place." Yin'a looked at everyone behind him and Qin Ji, "There are also Qili guards and guards, uncle."
You have to make arrangements."
"You don't have to say that." Mingzhu smiled and called the capable manager of the family and asked him to "deliver the eldest brother to the wife safely."
Qi Li said: "To make amends for my sins, the guards can wait outside, and the subordinates should accompany the elder brother in. The eldest elder brother cannot only be surrounded by eunuchs and haha beads. This is the emperor's order."
In this way, Yin'a and a few people followed the steward of the Ming Dynasty to the outside of the garden. There were also female family members who came to watch the ceremony in the garden. Yin'a said: "Qili, you can just wait outside with everyone, I will take the little one with you."
Qin goes in so as not to bump into the female family members."
Qili then said: "I accept my order."
Someone in the Ming Mansion had already sent a message. As soon as Yin A walked into the garden, he heard a female voice saying: "My son, I can see you now!"
Yin A was stunned, this line sounded a bit familiar!
