[Qing] If you don't work hard, you will be forced to inherit the throne

When the concubines in the hall heard the phrase "The Emperor", their hearts trembled with fright. They looked at each other and at the table full of mahjong, obviously it was too late to put them away.

The three concubines all looked at the leader, Concubine Tong Huanggui, who regretfully put down Nanfeng in her hands, and sighed: "I almost touched myself."

She calmly said: "What are you still doing in a daze, let's welcome the emperor together with the palace."

The harem does not stipulate that concubines and concubines cannot play together. If the relationship between the concubines is harmonious, it is still a commendable thing for the master of the harem. Concubine Tong Huanggui is not panicked at all.

Before they had finished tidying up their appearance, Kangxi had already stepped into the inner hall. With a serious face, the emperor glanced at the three concubines present, one imperial concubine, and then glanced at the table full of mahjong and chip cards, asking Everyone: "I didn't expect that all the beloved concubines were here with the imperial concubine. When I was outside, I heard the imperial concubine say 'bang'. You guys have new fun again? Why don't you let me see it too?"

As he spoke, his eyes fell on the mahjong table, and he saw that the mahjong carved from emerald jade was shiny and lustrous, and the price was expensive at first glance. There were various simple patterns painted on it, as well as the words "fa Cai", "south, west, north" pretty good.

Concubine Tong replied with a smile on her face: "This is for His Highness the Crown Prince's filial piety to relieve the elders. If the Emperor is interested, the concubine is naturally willing to bring the Emperor with him."

"What's the round sign on this table?" Kangxi casually picked up the chips scattered in four piles on the side of the mahjong table.

The rest of the three concubines looked at their winning and losing medals with a guilty conscience. Those were exchanged for silver taels after the end!

It's one thing to have fun with sisters in the harem, but quite another to gather to gamble.Although the emperor did not stipulate that they could not gamble, but the word "gambling" is considered insulting to scholars and will be impeached by the censor. If the emperor wants to punish them, there are many things that can be done!

Of course, the round card as a chip was also given by His Royal Highness, and it became a protection of "deception and stealing" when it was placed with Concubine Tong Huanggui.

Concubine Tonghuang smiled softly and said: "This round card is used to calculate wins and losses. Sisters have fun together, and they have to win a lottery. Whoever is the last one left can eat the watermelon rewarded by the emperor. Whoever loses At most, we have to embroider handkerchiefs for the sisters."

The watermelon juice bestowed by the emperor is delicious and sweet, and it is still a tribute!Kangxi distributed a small amount to the concubines in the harem, and the rest was closely followed by Yinfeng and the elders. I didn't expect that Concubine Tong Huanggui would be able to generously take out the watermelon as a prize.

Kangxi took a deep look at Concubine Tong Huanggui, why didn't he know that this was "gambling"?However, the four in front of him are all well-known favorite concubines in the harem, and the noble concubine Tonghuang has the highest status, and three of them have given birth to healthy princes for him.From the words of the imperial concubine, it can be known that the mahjong was given by the prince. Even if Kangxi wanted to be angry, he could only hold back, let alone he was not angry?

On weekdays, women like to be jealous when they are together, and they talk insinuatingly. In order to show their gentle and considerate side in front of Kangxi, they try to make themselves as beautiful and grand as possible. I don't know, but as long as the noise is not too ugly, emperors are generally too lazy to care about women's small thoughts.

But at this moment, Kangxi was confused by the harmonious coexistence of several concubines. He wanted to see what charm this mahjong had, which would unite Concubine Tong with the other three concubines.

So, Kangxi sat in front of the mahjong table, and seriously ordered the third concubine and the imperial concubine to teach him the rules of mahjong. After he roughly mastered the tricks, Kangxi felt even more incredible: That's it?

Just this thing?If you can memorize the cards easily, and master the rules, you can paste the cards. What's so fun about it?

The emperor played a few games of mahjong with the three concubines, while the imperial concubine waited on Kangxi, serving tea and water for him, and secretly went to look at the cards in his hand.

Concubine Tonghuang showed an awkward expression: Ah!The emperor's card really stinks.

Kangxi's luck has always been unlucky. Even though he memorized the mahjong cards and could guess what cards were hidden in the hands of the other three, he was unlucky!After losing one after another, in the end, the hands of the third concubine on the other side were almost shaking.Kangxi never gave her a chance to be confused, but the three concubines would feed cards to each other.

During the last pairing, Concubine Hui tremblingly said: "Emperor... Your Majesty, this concubine touched herself."

Kangxi calmly put down the cards in his hand, wondering: Is my luck really that bad?

"This mahjong is meaningless," the emperor said indifferently, "I have already memorized the faces of the cards."

The four women in front of them praised Kangxi's good memory in unison, and complimented the emperor tacitly: "Yes, yes, yes, you are right, this mahjong is not interesting."

The emperor felt their perfunctory, and snorted coldly: "Since it's not interesting, then I will take it away. It is a good thing for the concubines in the harem to have a harmonious relationship, but don't go too far."

The emperor confiscated the green jade mahjong ruthlessly, and said: "The prince is filial, and he should copy Buddhist scriptures to honor his elders. How can he give some strange and obscene entertainment? It is one thing to relieve boredom, but another is to gamble." It's another matter, you all know what I mean, right?"

The concubines in the harem were speechless and could only nod in response.

Concubine Tonghuang said in a low voice: "It's the concubine who neglected her duties, failed to restrain herself, and took the lead to break the morale."

Kangxi: "This is not an example."

"As for Baocheng, I will order him to copy a few Buddhist scriptures for the elders!"

The emperor wanted to punish the crown prince for this matter, and the noble concubine Tong had no choice but to intercede.

Kangxi failed to feel the warm welcome from the concubines in the harem, and felt uncomfortable, so he accepted mahjong unreasonably.

Yinfeng suddenly received an order from Kangxi, asking him to copy Buddhist scriptures.

He looked at Liang Jiugong who came to inform the emperor's order, and asked in a low voice, "Is Khan Ama in a bad mood, short-tempered, and prone to petty temper, and more childish than usual?"

Liang Jiugong smiled awkwardly, sweating coldly from the little ancestor's question.

Yinfeng showed an expression of sudden realization, and said tolerantly: "Since Khan Ama's little days are here, I can bear it for a while. Men are the same as women, there are always a few days every month."

After the age of seven, Yinfeng further understood the physiological structure under the systematic popular science education, and learned that girls will have a small life when they grow up, which means that the girl is a mature girl. I can be a mother.And Xiaomei told him that not only girls have a few days a month, boys also have a few days of emotional and state changes caused by changes in physiological hormones.

Now Yinfeng is acting like someone who has come here, and tells Liang Jiugong: Khan Ama is here to live a little life, so I will be more tolerant.

[Wait, kid, you're about to get spanked again for saying that!No man would admit that he was a big uncle! 】Liang Jiugong, who is always parroting his tongue, suddenly felt that his life was in danger!

If His Highness the Crown Prince's original words were conveyed to the emperor, his head would fall to the ground.

"Gu has learned new knowledge recently. It is a nourishing meal, which is suitable for supplementing Han Ama. After all, he has been working on state affairs all day long. As a son, Gu should be filial to Han Ama."

[Xiaomei thinks that if you do this, you may be beaten by your father. 】Liang Jiugong heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words: Great, I will have something good to say when I see the emperor.

As long as the emperor is not angry, his life will be saved.

But after Emperor Tong's mahjong was taken away by Kangxi, they still had the mahjong of Concubine Hui and Concubine Rong.But the emperor disapproved of them playing mahjong. Although the concubines felt itchy in their hearts and their hands itch when they became addicted to mahjong, they had to hold back and continue to return to the usual boring life in the harem.

After the fourth elder brother moved to elder brother, Concubine Tong felt very lonely. Now Concubine De lived in Yonghe Palace again. There was no reason to visit because of mahjong, and the relationship between the concubines was almost weakened.

Fortunately, because of the strange friendship formed by playing mahjong, there was a little tacit understanding between the third concubine and Concubine Tong, and everyone kept a low profile.As a result, the low-ranking concubines were removed from the harem, and only the newly promoted Concubine Yi was in the limelight.

On this day, the empress dowager stopped Kangxi when he went to pay his respects, and asked the emperor to accompany her to play two games of mahjong. The old lady smiled and said to Kangxi while playing mahjong: "The prince gave me this mahjong out of filial piety." It's really interesting to relieve boredom, there is not much popularity around Ai's family on weekdays, and the emperor has everything to do, so why not send concubines to accompany Ai's family to relieve boredom! You see, plus the Empress Dowager and Lagu Su Ma, it happens that one of three is missing."

Kangxi: "..."

"Life in the harem is lonely, and it is difficult to meet the emperor. It is better for the girls to have more fun than to fight each other, isn't it?" the old lady said earnestly, "Xuan Ye, the prince is very good, you Don't be too harsh on him, he is a child left by the Hesheli family after all."

"Emperor Mama, I know," Kangxi said helplessly, "But I don't know, this matter can still reach Mama's ears."

The Empress Dowager laughed lightly and said, "At this age, Ai's family doesn't ask for anything else. They only hope that the harem will be safe and their children and grandchildren will be around their knees. Mahjong is just a trifle after all. Women's fun can't get in the way of big things."

Fine!The empress dowager has already said the words to death, how else can Kangxi find him?Could it be that the mahjong in the hands of the old lady and the empress dowager was also taken away?Never expected that the crown prince even gave away the two old people.

The emperor recognized it while pinching his nose, and returned the confiscated Cuiyu mahjong to Concubine Tong.

Sitting in the imperial study, Kangxi thought about it and felt that he had been put on by his son, and he became angry from embarrassment, and wanted to spank Yinfeng's little ass again.

Liang Jiugong bowed cautiously and asked the emperor: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that he was afraid that you would be tired, so he brought you tonic soup."

Kangxi was surprised and said: "Tonic soup?"

Liang Jiugong said softly: "I am interested in what the immortal taught His Highness. After studying, His Highness began to worry about the Emperor's health. He said that you have worked hard and wanted to make up for you."

Kangxi frowned, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly.

"After all, Baocheng is the child I brought up with my own hands, and he has been filial since he was a child."

The emperor's mood improved a lot, so he ordered people to bring up the soup.These recipes are provided by Yinfeng, but Kangxi's own imperial dining room is making them. The soup is full of color, fragrance and taste, full of red dates, longan and red bean soup!

Liang Jiugong: "Emperor... Your Majesty, Your Highness said that this soup nourishes the spleen and soothes the nerves, and the imperial physician has also confirmed it."

Kangxi raised his eyebrows, and said expressionlessly: "Not only that, but also nourishing blood, right? I really don't know?"

Liang Jiugong's legs went limp, and he knelt down with a plop, sweating profusely.

Kangxi sighed, but unexpectedly he didn't lose his temper. Recently, the court affairs had piled up under a lot of pressure, and his temper was indeed getting worse.

The emperor picked up the spoon and honestly drank the bowl of sweet red bean soup. Liang Jiugong was so shocked that his jaw almost fell to the ground.

But Kangxi's mood turned better, he gave up the plan to beat the child, and said amicably, "Go and tell Baocheng, I have received his filial piety, let him study hard, don't tear apart the Buddhist scriptures, and prepare for his lecture next month. "

Yinfeng received the news and told Xiaomei with a smile: Gu is right, right?Khan Ama is really her uncle, Xiaomei still doesn't believe it!Look, you are in a hurry, isn't Khan Ama not angry?

【...Emperor Heart...Sea Needle】

Xiaomei's voice was erratic, as if in a dream.
