starling is not a bird

It's the Queen Mother's Longevity Day, and the emperor is naturally in a good mood. Things are going well in the court recently. The harvest of summer wheat is good. Both Henan and Hebei are ripe. The emperor was able to deal with some small disturbances with leniency.

All the dignitaries in the harem followed suit. In the past few years, in order to raise military salaries, the emperor had suffered for a long time, and the harem had consciously reduced the expenses. It was a rare time when such expenses could be spent decently, and the masters were all satisfied Try to win the first place.Playing jewelry, ordering clothes, trying new makeup, I am extremely busy every day.

On this day, the eighth elder brother followed the eldest elder brother and the third elder brother into the palace to discuss the celebration of the Longevity Festival. The crown prince was already sitting on the side of the book case, writing and rubbing ink, looking very energetic.

There are so many things going on, and there is no end to it, and when the sun is dark, it is just some rough regulations.Kangxi loved his son the most, and with a wave of his hand, he spread the dinner in the side hall to share with his sons.

Kangxi pays attention to health preservation, but he is not a person who likes fine diet. The word eating and drinking has no place in his heart. The dishes he is used to are the simplest, with few styles. Be exemplary.

The dozen or so small tables with carved dragons presented by the imperial dining room were all placed in front of the elder brothers. Kangxi felt that there were only a few dishes in front of him. Eat something to avoid hurting your stomach."

Turning back to Liang Jiugong beside him, he said, "Remember to have someone make that almond tofu and send it to my Hongxi, he is so cute!"

Liang Jiugong said with a smile on his face: "The message back to the master has already been delivered, and I have also ordered the servants to wait for the master to take a break from dinner before eating snacks!"

Kangxi nodded in satisfaction, and the crown prince hurriedly stood up to thank him: "Huang Ama loves him the most, and made my son jealous!"

Kangxi laughed: "Don't you feel sorry for him? Always so childish!"

Seeing the deep affection between father and son, the elder brother felt awkward. He stopped his chopsticks and was about to say something when he felt a pain in his foot, and there was a small pigeon egg in the bowl. Said: "Brother, I love you!"

The elder brother suddenly felt that he couldn't tell what taste was in his heart for a while, so he was distracted, and put the pigeon egg in his mouth, um, it tasted good.

The eighth elder brother came over again: "Brother, if you propose to let Huang Ama Tweet the canonization of the successive clansmen, Huang Ama will be happy!"

The elder brother rolled his eyes, lowered his head, found a piece of duck paw in the dish and threw it into the eighth elder brother's bowl: "Do you need me to be a good person? The second child has already turned his tail to the sky, and then go to enshrine the ancestors of the ancestors." , more and more do not take us seriously, I will not be such a good person!"

The eighth elder brother smiled and lowered his voice: "There are several Huang Ama, what are you worried about?"

The eldest brother understood after a little thought, and couldn't help laughing: "You monkey, you have so many thoughts!"

The two elder brothers were afraid that their private conversations would be heard by others, and they were whispering small words close to their ears. They had already been noticed by others. The crown prince was the first to be unhappy, and said with a smile on his face: "My lord! Brother and Ba Jiantian are running errands together, it’s rare for brothers to eat together, and you still have to talk about something private, what can’t you say for everyone to listen to?”

The eldest brother’s unhappiness just being pushed down by the eighth elder brother rose up again, staring at the crown prince, who smiled and stared back, the eighth elder brother hurriedly opened his mouth to smooth things over: "The eldest brother told me just now, Huang Ama is in love with you." Filial piety, Xiao Gui and Cao Suicai are good sons of us!"

Kangxi watched his sons brushing flower guns on the top, and closed his eyes as if he didn't see it. The crown prince wanted to say something, but the eighth elder brother stood up in front of him and said to Kangxi: "Huang Ama, do you remember?" You must be filial to your own mother, the sons also remember that the elder brother just said to his son that the first queen queen left early, and the queen mother mourned all the time, and the sons did not dare to forget it. Now the queen mother is celebrating her birthday , my son is bold, and wants to speak for eldest elder brother, ask for the grace of Huang Ama, and extend grace to the clan of Huang Erniang, so that my sons will also be filial!"

Kangxi did not expect that the eighth elder brother would get up and say this, and he had mixed feelings in his heart. He naturally knew that it was not the elder brother who said it. Concubine Hui is living in the harem, so the eldest elder brother will not be fine. Caring about other people's mothers must be what Eighth Brother meant.

Even the crown prince was stunned, his mother left early, although Huang Ama always remembered it, but when everyone felt deeply, the crown prince had worked hard for days, and he was not without regrets, he would have to climb up one day Dabao, but he has no chance to celebrate the Longevity Day for his mother like Huang Ama.It is said that the son wants to support but does not wait for the relatives. It is indeed a tragedy that cannot be reversed by manpower, but the eighth elder brother proposed to reward his mother clan?

The crown prince and the emperor both thought of the same person, shared the same sentimentality, and had some complicated feelings for the eighth elder brother.

The crown prince hurriedly stood up and apologized: "It's a pity that the little brother has thought of the front of the palace!" The eighth elder brother bent down and saluted again, but was stopped by the crown prince.

But the emperor laughed heartily and said: "Brother is a big brother after all, he is more considerate in handling things, he is very good, I will reward you well!"

The news in the harem always seems to have grown feet, running fast, let alone this kind of good news that everyone is happy about?It's just that the emperor wants to extend grace to the queen family members on the Longevity Day. There were three queens in the past!Empress Xiaochengren's Hesheli clan, Empress Xiaozhaoren's Niuhulu clan, and Empress Xiaoyiren's Tongjia clan, which clan member was favored?

Some people say that it is a member of the Hesheli family of Empress Xiaochengren. After the Yuan Dynasty, the son is still alive, and he is still the prince. Of course, he must give the prince a prestige!Some people also said that it was a member of the Niu Hulu clan of Empress Xiaozhaoren. The imperial concubine Wen Xi had not been away for a long time, and she was not promoted to queen before she left.Of course, some people guessed that the family members of Tong Jia's family who wanted to add the title of Empress Xiao Yiren, after all, they were the emperor's mother family!The aunt is celebrating her birthday, so it's normal to give some kindness to the biological mother's clan!

The most disturbed person upon hearing the news was Suo'etu. No matter whether he was sealed or not, the members of that clan would become less important in front of the Crown Prince. How could this be done?

But no one knows what the emperor is thinking. The eighth elder brother just went to tell the tenth elder brother a few words, let any uncle's family come to talk, don't see each other these days, just avoid suspicion, it is the uncle's family in the mansion The people who are not here should be transferred to Zhuangzi outside first, so as not to ruin your business.

Elder Brother Shi has always listened to his elder brother's words. In the past few days, his uncle's mother-in-law has also come to deliver things and talk about things in front of Fujin, but he is too lazy to listen. He didn't want to do the stupid things at the racetrack.Immediately sent all the members of Niu Gulu's family out of the city, and closed the door himself, not going anywhere except to follow his brother on errands.

The emperor had given the matter to Yaerjiang a long time ago, and asked him to investigate where there are talents among the three surnames. To be an emperor, he always wants to have more country, even if he wants to favor his wife and family. Gotta find someone useful, no?

It’s just that Yarjan got an errand to discuss with his own Ama. Yabu is a cautious person. This kind of work is done in a big way to please the emperor but offend a lot of people. It is not worthwhile, so he encourages his son to go to the emperor Secret decree to investigate secretly, so as not to make too much noise and expose some bad things, which is not beautiful!

The emperor also knew which of those big families didn't have such dirty things?What's more, he didn't want to embarrass this junior who was very close to him, so he allowed Yaerjiang to visit slowly.It's easy to award a reward, but it's not good to be punished after being awarded a reward. The emperor didn't want to discredit his aunt's holy life.

But rumors spread, and the emperor's decree has not yet come down. Those who have some ideas are in a hurry. Although the emperor has taken care of him in recent years, people are leaving tea, and the emperor is a little older. How long can he take care of him? ?It's better to get the title and official position in hand!

The least anxious of the three is the Hesheli family. What are you afraid of? We are the mother clan of the prince. Even if the emperor is gone, the future emperor will be kind. Talk to others with some ugly looks.It's quite like sitting on the Diaoyutai.

The Tong Jia family is different. Although it is called Tong Banchao, the Tong Jia family has no son who is the current emperor, not even a prince. The Tong Jia family has been prominent for half a lifetime. Lower tip.

The older generation in the clan has almost left, and the younger generation is either too tempered or too incompetent, wishing that the emperor would grant a few more rewards this time so that they can share it.

Niu Gulu's family wanted to fight at first, but since the master didn't show up, they couldn't make much noise, and they got a lot of gossip from Tong Jia's family, and they were even more angry.

So Tong Jia's family became a hot topic in the capital, seeing off guests at the front door, welcoming people at the back door, flowing out of money, and flowing in again, even the little father-in-law who delivered tea in the Forbidden City benefited.

The head of Tong Jia's family called Longkodo Orondai and Fahai to talk to the family for a long time, but they still broke up unhappy.

In the eyes of outsiders, Tong Jia's family is already red and purple, and Longke's many errands have been praised by the emperor.

Long Keduo loves this little concubine deeply, no matter whether she is really sick or not, she takes care of her every day, and even feeds the medicine and stones in person. Then Li Si'er made Zhang Zhizhi for a long time, and then covered her eyes with a handkerchief and cried: "Seeing that the emperor wants to show favor to you, let's not talk about getting promoted and getting rich. I'm sure I will be able to invite you back. I'm afraid that your cousin will ride on my head again!"

Long Kedo hugged Li Si'er in his arms: "What are you afraid of, I am here!"

Li Si'er sneered coldly: "What's the use of you, your son won't be in charge of the family in the future, sir, if you love me so much, he will definitely avenge his mother in the future, I'm afraid Madam Qi will end up better than me!"

Where did Longkodo hear this, he hugged her in his arms, promised everything, and finally swore: "Don't worry, what's mine is yours, as long as I live, I will protect you." You, even if I die, people will not be able to bully you! If one word is false, I will die!"

It is said that since ancient times infatuation is a female trend, this man is not bad at all when he is infatuated, and the emperor's decree came down not long after, Hesheli, Niu Colu, Tong Jia, and Tong Jia have their own rewards, but anyone who has an errand will be promoted At the top level, all those who have titles have been given imperial orders to their wives.

As expected, Longkodo could do what he said, and drove his wife to the firewood room, and gave all the orders given by the emperor to his concubine to wear. Li Si'er was very happy.

Longkodo's wife is Hesheli's prostitute, Longkodo's cousin, and Longkodo's mother is her aunt, who was spoiled and spoiled since she was a child, even after marrying her mother-in-law, she loves her a lot, and now she is humiliated by this , I couldn't think about it for a while, so I simply hanged myself.

Long Kedo didn't like this lady at all, so he simply asked someone to take a thin coffin and bury it in a corner of the family temple, and officially handed over to Li Si'er as the manager in his own mansion.Longkodo's mother felt sorry for her niece and felt sorry for her brother, so she fell ill immediately. Li Si'er didn't even care about taking care of her illness. Seeing that the old lady was getting sick day by day, she was about to die.
