A new journey of accumulating wealth

The queen mother left the queen and concubines for half an hour, and then went out slowly.The chair is still the same chair, the environment is still the same, and even the decorations have not moved.Even the scent of incense is still commonly used by myself.But if this is the case, I still feel that the Compassionate Peace Palace is less popular.

The house is like this, there is a big difference between people who live in it and people who don't live in it.It was like this in the dormitory before, it was obviously not cold, but it just felt cold somewhere.It's not as warm as the bedroom at this moment, but it's so dark that there are not many concubines gathered together, it seems that the breathing is smooth.

yes!People live, even if they can't live in the eyes of everyone, but at least they should live in the crowd.Only in this way can I feel that I am still a person and alive.I really had enough of the days when I couldn't meet ten people a day in Ganlu Temple.

Therefore, the queen mother at this time is very kind, like a bodhisattva, she started to care about the queen, asked about her two elder brothers, and especially said about the fifth princess, "Our princess is naturally more noble. Look at Hejing and Hewan, these two children look no worse than the elder brother Huang. Now the fourth elder brother and fifth elder brother have no errands, but look at these two princesses, they are really amazing. Therefore, this princess has been raised carefully , no worse than a son."

The queen answered yes, and was pulled gently by Tong who was standing behind her.Before she could react, she saw that the queen mother had already looked at Concubine Xin, "There is also the matter of the sixth princess. Why do you think you are a concubine? You are a good child, but your ears are ruined. You just put the child on Zhuangzi." The queen mother and the empress dowager are the same as the children's real grandmothers. Could it be possible to treat the children badly? You can just pick them up when the children are well. I miss the children, and I want to beg the emperor to go out of the palace to have a look. Could the emperor still Whether you want to or not. It just so happens that the empress dowager's knees are empty, and Yong Lang is busy with school, so I'm afraid there are few people to accompany him. You should only be filial to the empress dowager."

Concubine Xin: "..." After mentioning the fifth princess and then the sixth princess, this meant that she hated the queen.Let yourself give the child to the empress dowager, is this sincere or intentional?She really can't hold it at this moment.Moreover, although you are the queen mother, don't you think that everyone tacitly calls you the empress dowager now?Do you understand the honorable ones over there?You can't arrange it there, and I don't have the guts to just stuff the child there.Even the emperor is not so confident, okay?

Just as she didn't know how to answer, the Tong family, who had never had a sense of existence, was called by the queen mother, "I mentioned Yonglang, so I have to talk about you, my mother. Although the child is adopted, all the people living in this palace are close relatives. How come Gong has never heard that the child greeted you. No matter what else it is, filial piety cannot be lost."

Tong's eyebrows jumped, and she responded meekly, "The concubine will send someone out of the palace in a while to ask the empress dowager, who did Duanbeile learn from for being unfilial..."

Those who heard it almost laughed out loud. Did Duanbeile fail to learn from the emperor, or did the old sage fail to teach well?Queen Mother, you should talk about it.

Tong's, everyone in the palace has figured it out.People have sons, and sons are not involved in other things.So she is a special existence in the palace.Let's say there is no grace, they don't lack for anything.Even if the imperial concubine said that the Wei family was in charge of the House of Internal Affairs, she would not dare to say that she was being treated slowly.What's more, this upright person is lucky not to see the emperor's face, and he is the kind who dares to say anything when he sees the emperor.Very confident.

No, the empress dowager's face became stiff after saying a word.

Concubine Ling smiled softly at the side: "Empress Dowager, Sister Tong has always been outspoken. You have a lot of adults..."

"I'm outspoken, but I'm telling the truth." Tong looked at Concubine Ling, "The concubine answered truthfully, why should the empress blame the blame. Don't worry, the empress's mind is like a mirror, who is the true temperament, and who It's a sword with a honey belly, the empress knows better than anyone else. How can she be fooled at will."

The queen was sweating for Tong Shi, but who knew that the queen mother really didn't say anything nasty to Tong Shi, instead she looked calm and said, "Good boy, it's rare to have someone as quick-talking as you in the palace." People. Speaking of Yonglang, Bengong likes it. It must be good to follow the old sage. It's just that you are empty under your knees, and it doesn't matter if you have another one."

Tong Shi said again: "It doesn't matter how good you are, and it's useless to have too many bad things." Then he smiled at the queen mother, "It's like the queen mother, only the emperor's son..."

The others quickly answered, "Yes! The emperor is filial to the queen mother..."

The empress dowager felt upset, especially when she met Shang Tong's eyes.Those eyes clearly conveyed a meaning: that is - I have Yonglang, and I can become the most honorable woman in the world in the future.

For a moment, she lost her mood to speak again, and after sending everyone out, she raised her hand and overturned the tea set on the small table, "Did you see that look? Did you see that look? Guess?"

Nanny Gui gritted her teeth, "That Mrs. Tong is stupid! She is also arrogant. Before she dared to show her intentions and hid her tail well, she couldn't bear it anymore and was eager to show off. Such a person won't last long! Empress, you were right to worry before! I'm afraid the old sage didn't mean it, but the empress dowager would also. Empress, you have to talk to the emperor about this..."

say what?Will he believe it?

"Don't talk too much, I have my own calculations."

The queen over there glanced at Tong who was beside her, "Why do you have to contradict the queen mother?"

Tong Shi laughed, "Ever since the concubine entered the palace, has the queen mother given you a good face? Nowadays, the yin and yang are not yin and yang, and I don't know what she's thinking. But no matter why, it has nothing to do with the concubine. The big deal is that the concubine will take care of herself." Please go to Ganlu Temple to pray for the emperor and empress, it is more convenient to meet Duanbeile there. The concubine has nothing to fear, so I don't want to deal with her. The queen mother has a small heart."

A sentence flashed into the queen's mind: only women and villains are difficult to raise, if they are close, they will not be inferior, if they are far away, they will complain.

It's hard to know how to measure, and the purpose is unknown, so Tong simply avoided it.

She really felt that this Tong family had more brains than she imagined.

For such a person, she doesn't mind giving more Yourong, "You should go back earlier, you don't need to send it. There are so many people following, nothing can go wrong."

Tong Shi didn't force it, she stood by the side of the road and watched the queen and her party slowly go away.

Xiaotao stood beside her, "Sister, if you're like this, do you want to tell Duanbeile?"

Tong shook her head, "No! There is no one outside the palace who doesn't know about the affairs of the palace. You know, no one has ever said anything about my actions, so it means that I acquiesce in doing so. As long as it's not too much, it's fine! "

What is too much?

"Don't wrap innocent people in right and wrong." The rumor was that the Empress Dowager extended an olive branch to Mrs. Fucha.She knew that the empress dowager was very dissatisfied with that matter.Thus, she was sure of her thoughts and knew where the bottom line of doing things would be next.

But Xiaotao couldn't understand, "If we don't contact the outside of the palace, it's not a problem if we don't have a purpose and go to the west."

Who said there is no purpose?

Tell them to move, and our goal will be achieved.

Empress Dowager Niu Colu was even more anxious than Tong expected.After waiting for three days, Niu Colu was completely heartbroken when he didn't see the emperor going to the Palace of Compassion.The emperor didn't go, neither did the princes, this is too much.

As a result, Nanny Gui only found out when she asked you that the elder brothers came to pay their respects, and they all came very early.When I went to the study, I stopped by to say hello, and said that I would not disturb my grandmother's rest, because I only kowtow outside the palace.That is to say, the princes came to greet the empress dowager in the middle of the night, at three or four o'clock in the morning.

In this way, he was not rude and avoided contact with the Queen Mother.

Although these elder brothers are not very talented, their survival skills in the palace are still full.It's just that these children have suffered, the cold winter months, heavy snowfall, and midnight, so they have to get up early, but now they have to go earlier, otherwise they won't have time to pay their respects to the Queen Mother.

When Nanny Gui told this story, the Empress Dowager Niu Gulu's face darkened, but she smiled again in an instant, "Go and give some rewards to the good grandchildren of this palace, by the way, the fifth elder brother will give more Prepare a copy... Just say that my grandmother misses him, and ask him to come over after school."

But the fifth elder brother was treated so differently under the eyes of everyone, his face turned pale.Halfway through school, I told my husband that I had a headache, probably because I had caught a cold.The husband gave the leave, and then the fifth elder brother went back to the elder brother's place, so naturally he couldn't go to the queen mother to pay her respects.

After receiving the letter, the queen mother smiled and said, "Please take a look at the imperial doctor."

I still don't believe it, there is no end to pretending to be sick.

Concubine Yu took her son's hand, what should I do?This is how to do?

What can I do?

The fifth elder brother calmly tricked Concubine Yu away, and then roasted in the warm room with a big fire. After roasting, he plunged into the cold water bathtub, pushed open the door after coming out, and stood outside where the dripping water turned into ice. The clothes were frozen into icicles, and Concubine Yu who rushed over after hearing the news pushed her into the room to warm up.

When the imperial doctor came, the fifth elder brother was shaking his head.

Concubine Yu couldn't care anymore, and ran to beg the queen, "I have to go to Zhuangzi, I have to find the empress dowager... Otherwise, the fifth elder brother is afraid..."

The queen was terrified. With the lessons learned from the previous six princesses, she didn't dare to make her own claim, so she asked someone to notify the emperor.

When Qianlong rushed to the elder brother's place, he saw his son who was twitching, and the fifth elder brother took his hand, "Huang Ama... the son has never thought about it... never thought about it...the son does not want to be raped by his grandmother." Take it away..."

Qianlong's nose became sore immediately.I still had some grudges against this son before, but at this moment, those grudges are gone.Now it's just a teenager.A few years ago, I was just a child of a few years old, and I was not forced by adults.Concubine Yu is honest and the fifth elder brother is mellow. In the final analysis, it was the empress dowager who caused the trouble.

"Good boy!" Qianlong came with great patience, "Huang Ama knows! You all know! You can't make such a fuss in the future, let the imperial doctor look at it first..." Then he called Wu Shulai, "Go and pick up Wang Xichen Come."

Concubine Yu immediately felt relieved, Wang Xichen is the eldest disciple of the empress dowager, and now he is very important, it is rare that he can't look down on him and get sick.It is said that it is enough to disembowel people.

Wang Xichen came here on horseback. After seeing the situation, he gave him an injection and prescribed medicine. He reminded him, "You must take the medicine on time. If there is any mistake in the dose, you can't use it. This time, it's cold. If you can't take good care of it, you may die Leave the root of the disease. If the root of the disease comes out, it will be too late to regret.”

But after the third batch of medicine went down to the National People's Congress, the fifth elder brother drank half of the daily medicine and poured the other half, just to slow down the recovery.He is incapable of dealing with the empress dowager.In the end, after seven days, Wang Xichen came to the palace for a follow-up visit. As soon as he checked his pulse, he knew that this patient was not an obedient patient.Even the prince was angry, "You don't believe in my medical skills? Then please find another expert!" He is now in this position in the circle of imperial physicians.He didn't have such a temper before, but later he just annoyed the honorable ministers and others, and he invited himself to go to the doctor every now and then, even if it didn't matter.He lost his face.But since he lost his good face, people are still weird, and there are more people chasing after him.It has become a common practice to ask him to visit a doctor with a plate of money.Later, there was really no other way, and he refused to go with the money. In his words, was he the one who was short of money?So, even if he went to the medical center by himself, he had to donate money to the medical center to see him in person.Generally, those who want to ask themselves to come to the door are either very well-connected, or people who are particularly directly related to the royal family.He also said to the outside world that this is because his husband is a royal, and he has no reason not to take care of him.But in general, these Huang Amas didn't have any illnesses that he was asked to see. It's not clear why the fifth elder brother fell ill this time.Zuo is nothing more than the underworld in the palace.He did what he was supposed to do as a doctor, and let go of what he couldn't control. He really let go, but he still told Lin Yutong to report it when he returned.

Lin Yutong nodded in response, "You are busy with your work, you can't control the affairs of the palace. I will make some warm and nourishing pills and ask someone to bring them in. Let's take care of it slowly."

Wang Xichen agreed.

But Lin Yutong knew that this fifth elder brother really fell into Qianlong's eyes this time.

Because when Qianlong came over yesterday, he mentioned something to Lin Yutong by the way, and he said, "Mother Huang, please help me to see. Yongqi is not young anymore, it's time to point out a marriage. Other people's eyes I can't believe it, but what the Empress is referring to is definitely the best."

Back then, the third elder brother's marriage was for the intermarriage between Man and Han.

Then there is the fourth elder brother, now avoiding the fourth elder brother's marriage, but only mentioning the fifth elder brother Yongqi.Probably he really thinks that his fifth elder brother has the heart of a child.

As soon as the medicine was delivered to the palace outside, Qianlong knew about it.Wu Shulai is someone who knows Qianlong well. Qianlong likes fifth elder brother, so he speaks well of fifth elder brother.Therefore, I told the story of why Wang Xichen left with anger, "Fifth elder brother is also pitiful, the queen mother is a grandmother after all. Listening to the queen mother is disfilial to the emperor, not listening to the queen mother... I can't bear it with my small body!"

snort!

Qianlong was furious: "I don't know what to say!"

Wu Shulai knew that this anger was directed at the Queen Mother.

Although Qianlong didn't give the fifth elder brother any other orders, he gave more rewards on a daily basis.Reward a dish when eating, and test a few more words during the school test, and the compliments gradually increased.This makes Fifth Prince's identity suddenly become different.

This is indeed beyond the queen mother's expectations.

It's okay to be looked down upon by the son, but now there is no grandson to look down upon.

Ah! "I have more than one grandson."

This time she didn't ask the prince Yongxuan to come to see him, but sent a message to Yongxuan, asking him if he fell in love with that girl Huang Zhan.If she really liked it, she would send someone to ask for it from her mother, the Empress Dowager, and it would be nice to keep it by her side.

Yongxuan was shocked and angry!At first, I really approached Huang Zhan with a different intention, it was to get closer to the emperor's grandmother.But after meeting her a few times, he really felt that the girl was wonderful.It's just that the girl is not good, but just because she is the disciple of the empress dowager, who would dare to come to the door and beg the girl to come and be a child?This is to make enemies with people!The queen mother said so, she really dared to do it.This is a threat to yourself!If she dared to take Joe, she would really dare to say that to the empress dowager.She couldn't coexist peacefully with the empress dowager, but he, the elder brother of the emperor, didn't want to be rejected by the empress dowager because of this.

After the shock and anger passed, there was a deep fear and powerlessness.He wanted to struggle, but found that he couldn't struggle with a cage woven by others.

He—had to choose to pretend to be a snake with the Queen Mother.

But after taking a step back, I found that I didn't get nothing.He asked someone to give a set of the gadgets he bought to the Queen Mother's palace, and the benefits came before he went there in person.The queen mother asked herself to leave the palace and go to a teahouse.It turned out to be a coincidence, I happened to meet the emperor's grandfather, Huang Ama and Qiu Rixiu who were drinking tea in the teahouse.

Mr. Qiu Rixiu, Mr. Qiu, began to supervise Zhili water conservancy at the beginning of this year.

He was very surprised when they met, Huang Ama was very surprised, and that Qiu Rixiu was also very surprised.The royal grandfather glanced at him indifferently, but did not speak.

Yongxie restrained his mind and came forward to pay his respects, and took advantage of the situation to stay by the side to serve.

The three people were still talking about water conservancy matters, and Qiu Rixiu said in a low voice: "The situation varies greatly from place to place, and the matters involved cannot be solved by the Water Conservancy Department alone." This involves the previous case, how the money for river governance is spent of.As long as it is involved, it is the chief official of the place.

Qianlong frowned, "At first I thought that the Water Conservancy Department was like the Highway Administration, with little involvement and independent from the yamen. Now I ask Qiu Aiqing to say that the matter is probably inseparable from the three departments of the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Punishment." And Yushitai, none of these officials have been recruited in these years, and I think Yushitai's eyes are blindfolded..."

Hongli found a good excuse and used Qiu Rixiu's mouth to push back the matter of the Water Conservancy Department.

There is only one meaning - it can't be done!

This was also expected.Fourth Master skipped the topic and looked at Yongxie, "You have listened for a while, what did you hear? Now you are an adult, don't stand around stupidly, don't care about right or wrong, speak boldly."

Yongxuan was flattered, "Grandson thinks that water conservancy is a good thing...but don't rush it." He said, "From one place to another, we can gradually investigate, and we can mobilize people from various yamen to clean up water pros and cons, one by one in each place. Local investigations, in this way, can be specialized and methodical..."

Fourth master was a little surprised, this kid still has some ideas, isn't this the model of the task force?It can be regarded as choosing a good balance between himself and his Ama.

Qianlong was a little surprised, and couldn't help but look at this kid more.

Qiu Rixiu heaved a sigh of relief, seeing that the old sage and the emperor treated the fourth elder brother well, and remembered what his wife Xiong said, she said: "If you meet the fourth elder brother, take care of him more..."

Now it seems that there is no risk in taking care of care, right?The words rushed here, and he said: "Long live, if you are willing, I would like to ask for an order, please lend the fourth elder brother to the minister for use. One, the fourth elder brother understands the matter. Second, you have to Many things are easy to handle if a person with a transcendent status is needed."

Qianlong just looked at Huang Ama, and found that Huang Ama had no intention of speaking, so he breathed a sigh of relief.It is good that there is no pressure to set up the Water Conservancy Department.So he said: "Then ask the fourth brother to follow the practice. At this age, it's time to come out and work."

This surprise is a bit big, without the Queen Mother's guidance, he would not come here.If you don't come, you won't encounter such a good thing!

So, everything has two sides.There are such good things hidden in bad things, so if there are such bad things, there is no need to avoid them like snakes and scorpions.

The silly boy was happy, but fourth master was not happy when he went back.When I went back, I lay down, pillowed on Lin Yutong's lap, with disappointment on my face, "Sometimes failure is doomed. Therefore, don't hope for many things. No matter how many times you look back, at the wrong time If you want to do the right thing, it is extremely difficult, and what is never difficult is not the thing, but the person.”

Therefore, some unnecessary obsessions have loosened even the last trace and are about to dissipate.If there is no Honghui, it will be futile to try again and again.

What kind of era people are in, they must do things that conform to the times.Don't try to become a saint. Human beings are human beings, and one cannot become a saint.Meeting the right person at the right time and doing the right thing is a great man.Otherwise, nothing will be.

He whispered to Tongtong: "Sometimes, people just can't compete. Whether it's with others or with yourself."

The said Tongtong was in a daze for a while, and he hadn't gotten to that point yet.So I just nodded along with 'hmmmmmm', anyway, you are right, what you say is what you say.She comforted her in a low voice, "Even if we go to the primitive society, we have to learn from others to make fire by drilling wood, drink blood like a hair, and resolutely not do the wrong things at the right time..."

Fourth master: "..." What did I say just now, what did you hear, can you have a tacit understanding?Did I mean that?Besides, I am emotional!Do you understand with emotion?You are now less and less romantic.I'm really not afraid of cheating on me!

When Hong Hui came back, he felt that the atmosphere between his parents was weird, "What's wrong?" Was there a fight?I don't know how old I am, how can I still quarrel?Oops!

Look at those eyes like searchlights, I wish I could have some fun looking at them.

Lin Yutong rolled his eyes at him, "It's a blessing to be accompanied by someone who can quarrel at this age, don't you understand?"

Understand!This is something to be envious of.

During the meal, my father and I talked about water conservancy.Hong Hui said, "That's fine too. If you can really do it, start with water conservancy, and investigate the officials again, it would be a harvest."

That's why fourth master didn't object today.If there is no such a force, there will be no such encounter.

As for Yongxuan, Honghui really has other uses.Yongxuan wanted to maintain a good relationship with Honghui, so when he left Beijing, he specially came to say goodbye to Honghui.

Honghui didn't say anything at the time, but as soon as the other party left Beijing, he received a letter from Honghui.

The letter was sent by Qingxi, and most of the contents were provided by the Highways Department.The Highways Department builds roads along the route, how can people like them who have to deal with the local government for coordination don't know about the situation in various places.They only care about building roads, and don't care about anything else.This is what was emphasized earlier.But not knowing doesn't mean not knowing.If you know it, you will definitely say it.Then it depends on who to listen to and how to deal with it.

Some officials' deeds were even found and handed over by the Department of Roads, but Hong Hui kept suppressing them.

It's all right now, there is Yong Xun who is eager to make meritorious deeds and has gone out to do business. If he wants to make a big hit, he will definitely not be able to move the real guy.The letter from Honghui was really timely.Without leaving the border of Zhili, Yongxuan took charge of it. He managed two fifth-rank officials, four sixth-rank officials, and seven seventh- and eighth-rank officials in one go.

The whole court praised Si elder brother for his ability and hard work.It is also said that the old sage is ranked fourth, and the emperor is also ranked fourth.Now that the fourth prince is so capable, wouldn't it be that in the future...

Because of this rumor, people from the old school came up with their own stories again.People don't dare to talk about the royal family, they just say that the title is inherited. If there is no son in this family, the title has to be judged according to the nobleness of the birth. The ones from the side Fujin are limited, and the manchu surnames are given priority in the side Fujin.

What should Yongxuan say?Those who oppose the old school must be labeled as a new school.Those who oppose the new school have to be labeled as the old school.It's hard to be completely caught in the middle.

Qianlong felt a little disappointed.Yongxuan is a little clever, but still lacks great wisdom.Man, how can we please both sides?If he was completely on the side of the new school, he would still look up to him, but... when it is obvious that he cannot coexist with the old school, and when the other party does not agree with him, he still wants to repair the relationship and please, That's just unwise.

His eyes fell behind Yong Qi again, and he felt a little comforted.The fourth child is in the limelight, and he is neither arrogant nor impatient. In terms of temperament, this is commendable.

Why does he still pay so much attention to Yong Qi when he has a legitimate son and a fourteenth elder brother born by a concubine?It was nothing more than the nightmare prophecy back then, as if his life was not long.

He is not too young this year, and he is about to turn fifty.To be honest, it is a miracle for Aixinjueluo's family to have a long life.Emperor Tai|zong lived to be 50 years old, and Emperor Shunzhi was only 22 years old. In fact, the emperor's grandfather can't be regarded as a long-lived person.And Huang Ama... It looks good now, but she was only 58 years old back then.To be honest, if Huang Ama was still able to carry it with her physical condition back then, if she had the slightest way, she would not make such a bad move and leave by feigning death.

Even if you don't look at your ancestors, at your age, you should think about your future arrangements.No one dared to mention it, but he couldn't really think about it.If he didn't live long, and Huang Ama was 58 years old, it would be ten years later.Ten years later, no matter whether it is the son of the eldest son or the son of the imperial concubine, they are all ten-year-old children.know what?

But ten years later, Yongqi will be at the age when she was enthroned.If I had a chance, I would have a son who can entrust great things to me.

If he is lucky enough to live longer, then the younger sons below will grow up one by one, and there will be more choices.It's not too late then.

Because of this thought, the fourth elder brother made a meritorious service, and only gave a few words of praise verbally, but sent the fifth elder brother to the fourth library, saying that he had gained a lot of knowledge, but in fact he had a lot of contacts with these scholars. Opportunity.Qianlong was very sure that the five sons of his family would be liked by everyone, because after getting in touch with them, he knew that his son had very similar hobbies to his Huang Ama.It's like learning to shoot on horseback, with a good appearance and excellent martial arts skills.He is erudite and talented, proficient in Manchu, Chinese, and Mongolian, and he is very good at astronomy, geography, calendar calculations, especially astronomical algorithms.In addition, he is also good at calligraphy and painting, especially good at books, and he is already quite impressive.This kind of Yunwen Yunwu is like his Ama.

After such a set of routines, from the front court to the back palace, the dark tide suddenly became turbulent.

But the dark tide is the dark tide after all, seeing that the new year is over, don't mention things that don't go your way at this time, and everyone celebrates the new year happily.

Before this year, Qianlong came to invite Huang Ama as soon as Laba was over: "You and Huang Erniang have to go to the palace to celebrate the New Year no matter what. You see, this year, the whole family will not be able to reunite..."

Not enough to bother me.

The fourth master didn't go, "You are busy with your work, you are the master of the palace, you will be safe when you are here. If you are lazy in the cold weather, I will go to Zhuangzi."

This set of words is said every year, and it is the same every year.But Qianlong is willing to save face, so let's do it.

Years ago, fourth master even made a special trip to Zhang Tingyu's house to deliver New Year's goods to Zhang Tingyu.Everything was prepared by Lin Yutong himself.But the day after the New Year's goods were delivered, Zhang Tingyu received a funeral report and went.

How to live Qianlong's year, but fourth master is inevitably a little sad.I didn't go there in person, but asked Honghui to go there for several days.Qianlong dare not say that it is not called Peixiang Taimiao.Officials from the Ministry of Rites were arranged to deal with the loss, and a decree was issued to give him a posthumous title. If the decree goes down, his work will be over.

He is indeed very busy. Years ago, he had to arrange to give some rewards to those ministers who were abroad, and the officials of the frontiers. It was very tiring to give who was more important and who was less.

As for the New Year in the palace this year, the palace affairs are still the queen and the concubine Ling.The empress now relies heavily on the Tong family, and many things are discussed between the Tong family and the concubine Ling, and everyone who wins the Tong family is known.

Tong Shi doesn't care what other people think, she will do whatever the queen wants her to do.No matter how many things are secondary, as long as there is a chance to get involved.

The queen sent to tell her to discuss with the concubine Ling about the grand banquet for the clan. Tong put down the things in his hand and said that he understood.The things in front of me were sent in by Duanbeile, including the silver that she asked her to reward.It can be said that I have thought of everything I can think of.

Xiao Tao was overjoyed, "The fourth elder brother and the fifth elder brother are not as considerate as our little master."

Only then did Tong smile, "So, I also thought, it's time to give the little master a thank you gift."

What?Xiaotao didn't hear clearly.

Tong only said, "Clean up, I'll go find Concubine Ling."

Xiaotao didn't care, just busy with her work.

Mrs. Tong walked to the gate of the courtyard, glanced at the old eunuch, and said something in a low voice. The old eunuch frowned in confusion, and Mrs. Tong said again: "Do as I say..."

"This issue……"

"If I make a mistake in this matter, I will apologize with death." Tong Shi said, and shouted inward, "Come on, come out with me."

The old eunuch stopped talking, and only replied in a low voice, "I will try my best!"

"It's not about trying, it's for sure! I'll get the key, you arrange someone to do it!"

So, on New Year's Eve this year, a big event happened in the palace.

For the Chinese New Year, the common people think that the most important thing in the New Year's Eve is the reunion dinner.The royal family was no exception.The reunion dinner was arranged in the Palace of Preserving Harmony, that is, the meal of this night, and only the empress and concubine were allowed to eat together.Those who can enter the palace for reunion are all close officials of the clan.

But this year is special. As soon as the emperor celebrates the new year, he will go on a southern tour before the first month.There are too many things to prepare, and everyone who is close to everything is busy with errands.The uncles were not that busy, but they all took leave.In fact, they went to Zhuangzi to accompany their fourth brother to celebrate the New Year.Qianlong couldn't say it was wrong, could he?It's more important to be with your nephew, but it's more important to be with your brother.

In this way, fewer people enter the palace.In previous years, Fu Heng's family had to be taken into the palace, but this year because of such rumors, Qianlong didn't have the nerve to call.Even Princess Hejing also said that she dreamed about her own mother-in-law years ago, and this year she would like to accompany her own mother-in-law with her son-in-law and children in Lama Temple.Not only was Qianlong not unhappy for this reason, but he was sad for a while.Appreciated and respected many things.

As a result, this year's palace banquet will be less lively.

There are only a few sons in a room full of women who can talk.Among the several sons, the eldest is a gourd with a sawed mouth, the third will be "yes yes yes", the fourth wants to come over, but the queen mother won't let go.Only Lao Wu was waiting on the sidelines.

Several young elder brothers were taken by the eunuch to set off firecrackers outside.

Qianlong drank two glasses of wine and some soup, and wanted to relieve himself.He got up and turned to the back, Wu Shu came to follow, it was supposed to be fine.

But at this moment, someone yelled, "It's on fire—it's on fire—"

"Hurry up! The outer wall of the Hall of Preserving Harmony is covered."

Qianlong frowned, before he had time to think about it, there were already screams outside.

Wu Shulai took the wet handkerchief and handed it to the emperor, "I'm afraid it's burning in front, Your Majesty, go through the window..."

Before I finished speaking, the voice of the fifth elder brother came from outside: "Huang Ama——Huang Ama——"

With a bang, Fifth Elder Brother bumped in, carried Qianlong on his back without saying a word, and left, "Hold your son tight, and my son will take you out—"

Wu Shulai didn't even have time to stop him, so he rushed away over there.

The outer wall of the Hall of Preserving Harmony did burn some, which seemed to be caused by setting off firecrackers.Because the fire was extinguished in time, it only burned the wall black.The people in the palace were all frightened, and they were still in shock at this moment.

Qianlong looked at this and that. Yongxie probably brought the queen mother out. The queen carefully comforted the twelfth elder brother and the fifth princess. The thirteenth elder brother was young and did not bring it out.Concubine Ling was on the sidelines arranging firefighting to investigate the cause of the fire.The eldest son comforted Fujin while comforting his children, the third child took care of his mother-in-law and her wife and sister, the fourth child was held by the queen mother... No one noticed that he, the emperor, was not in the hall. What to do if you can't escape.

Only the fifth elder brother, Yong Qi, remembered him as Huang Ama, and patted his son's shoulder heavily with his hand. For the first time, he wanted to use a word, and that was--precious character!

What is noble character?Observing filial piety is a precious character.
