The one who returns the pearl

Because of his status, Hongli couldn't justly pay respects to the Empress Dowager, and Yinzhen understood his filial piety, and asked him to go to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to bid the Empress Dowager her New Year's Eve after the concubines had finished saying goodbye to the Empress.At this time, Hongli had returned from the Compassionate Ning Palace for a while.It's just that he came back at the wrong time and saw something he shouldn't have seen.Hongli didn't dare to make a sound, but followed Yinzhen and Yinhu quietly.Now, hearing Yinhu say such a sentence to Yinzhen, and seeing Yinzhen giggling, she really wanted to go over and interrupt Yinzhen's stupid behavior, but she didn't have the guts.He could only quietly follow behind Yinzhen, waiting for Yinzhen to return to normal.

Yinzhen went back to his dormitory with a smirk, still reciting the phrase "Eternal life is not responsible", and he would laugh out loud after a while, so excited that he didn't feel sleepy at all.

Hongli lingered outside the house for a while, watching the lights in Yinzhen's room kept on.Yinzhen didn't sleep, and as a son, he didn't dare to sleep early, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go in to say hello, "I greet Huang Ama."

Seeing Hongli bowing his head and coming in obediently, Yinzhen was rarely angry, "Have you greeted your mother?"

Hongli said: "Talk back to Huang Ama, Huang Erniang has already fallen asleep." Hey, thanks to Bashu's words, Huang Ama is in a good mood, otherwise, he will be scolded again now.

Yinzhen looked at Hongli and lowered his head, not daring to look at him, and saw his strange and fortunate expression, thinking of his and Yinhu's actions just now...wouldn't this kid see him!Yinzhen blushed slightly, and asked, "When did you come back?"

Hongli stopped talking: Do you want to tell Huang Ama the truth?Do you want to tell Huang Ama that when he came back, he saw him kissing his eighth uncle?Hongli couldn't make up his mind...

Seeing Hongli's tangled face, Yinzhen was very sure in his heart. This boy saw the scene of him kissing Yinhu, and his face suddenly became hot. Fortunately, Yinzhen was used to his paralyzed face on weekdays, and he still couldn't see it. what.Yin Zhen said with a cold face, "Have you seen it all?"

Hongli bowed his head in obedience, and said nothing: he saw everything he shouldn't see, and he heard what he shouldn't hear...

Yinzhen looked at Hongli, suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile: "Although Huang Ama is slow in emotional matters, Huang Ama knows how your eighth uncle handles things. Hongli, you have to be steady." Hold on to your position, don’t make a careless move and regret it for life!”

Hearing what Yinzhen said, Hongli knew that Yinzhen knew about his refuge in Yinhu, so he quickly knelt down and pleaded guilty: "My son deserves death, please punish Huang Ama."

Yinzhen turned the beads in his hand, and said calmly: "It seems that it has already happened..." Yinzhen looked at Hongli, "Your Eighth Uncle's method, Huang Ama knows, you are not his opponent, and you are defeated. It's nothing."

Hongli prostrated himself and said, "Huang Ama is holy."

Yinzhen said again: "What did your eighth uncle tell you?"

Hongli fell on the ground and did not move.He didn't dare to say such words as "carrying a beautiful woman home" in front of Yinzhen.He just knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty, "I beseech Huang Ama to come down, I dare not say what my eighth uncle said."

Yinzhen said: "Speak, I forgive you for not being guilty." What did the eighth brother say to Hongli that I can't listen?

Hongli saw that this level could not be perfunctory, so he had to report it according to the facts. Otherwise, when Huang Ama became unhappy, it was probably a crime of beheading!Maybe one day, Huang Ama will depose her clan, change her name, and imprison her until she dies.He is not yet a member of Aixinjueluo's family, so it is estimated that all these have been saved, and he will die directly.Thinking of this, Hongli trembled all over, and told Yinzhen what Yinhu had said to him that day. "Huang Ama, my eighth uncle told my son that he fell in love with a beautiful woman, and wanted my son to help him hug her back... Just like that, my son agreed..." After speaking, he fell on the ground and waited. Yinzhen spoke.Woohoo~~~ I'm so miserable, why should I put up with this kind of thing.Huang Ama and Eighth Uncle are also true, this kind of matter can be resolved by the two of them through discussion, why drag him... woooo~~~ Make it difficult for him to be a man between the two of them, this kind of life is really It's not human!

After listening to Hongli's words, Yinzhen didn't make a fuss, and his face was a little smug, "Hongli, in your eyes, Huang Ama is a person with soft ears? Would you listen to your eighth uncle and not tell right from wrong... "

"I don't dare..." Hongli burst into tears in his heart: Look, I know that this day is hard to live, both sides put pressure on him, and I am not afraid that he will be pressured, if I knew it, I would not go back to the palace. Staying in Huibu, although the environment is not good, but fortunately, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, so it is much more comfortable than this!

Yinzhen looked at Hongli and looked at him with a troubled expression. He also knew that Hongli was sandwiched between the two of them, and life was not easy, so he said calmly: "Okay, I know your difficulties. Tonight Now, you should rest early."

Hongli was very surprised: it was so easy to pass this time? !Huang Ama is really Huang Ama, and she doesn't even respond to the eighth uncle calling him a beauty.Strong, indeed a strong man!Hongli admired him in his heart, he fell on the ground swiftly, respectfully thanked him and bid farewell, "I would like to thank Huang Ama for your kindness, and my son will leave." Hongli stood up, looked at Yinzhen who was still sitting, and said, "Imperial Ama Ma also go to bed early, tomorrow will be very busy..."

Yinzhen waved his hand, indicating that he knew.Yinzhen thought that Yinhu would have the same idea as him, and also expected that Yinhu would win over Hongli, let Hongli advise him, and try to get him.It's just that Yinhu didn't expect that Yinhu would bluntly tell Hongli that he liked him, and would call out every beauty.A smile appeared on Yinzhen's face: In terms of beauty, who can compare to the eighth younger brother! 'If you win one's heart, you will live forever' This is really good news, and the new year is indeed full of hope!Eighth brother, you have to remember these words forever!

The next day was the first day of the new year, and Kangxi carried out various activities on New Year's Day according to the etiquette.When Kangxi got up in Chou, he first arranged the affairs of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, so that the servants of Yinreng did not have to follow the palace rules to go out to worship the heavens, ancestors, and palaces, but only needed to take good care of the queen in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.After arranging these, Kangxi put on the auspicious clothes and started writing in the East Nuan Pavilion of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and wrote the "Heart Sutra" and auspicious words on the blessing paper.After that, burn incense and salute at the gates and Buddhist halls of the palace.At Yinshi, Kangxi went to Qianqing Palace to wait for the officials of the Ministry of Rites to request an order, and then went to Jiumenwai to worship the hall.After that, go to the Fengxian Hall to worship the ancestors.After that, Kangxi entered the Queen Mother's bedroom alone to say the new auspiciousness to the empress dowager. At this time, Concubine Chun had brought the concubines in the palace to say the new auspiciousness to the empress dowager.Then Kangxi supported the Empress Dowager and went to Baohe Hall to have breakfast with Concubine Chun.Afterwards, Kangxi went to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to receive the congratulations from civil and military officials, and then Kangxi took the Manchu civil and military officials to the Palace of Compassion, where he was seated in the main hall, and received congratulations from the Manchu civil and military officials, elder brother, princess, princess, and wife.Then Kangxi continued these ceremonies all afternoon.At you in the afternoon, Kangxi and the Hall of Supreme Harmony hosted a banquet for civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. During the banquet, there were songs, dances, dramas and operas of various ethnic groups.By the time the banquet is over, the first day of the new year will have passed.

The second day of the new year was the celebration day of the inner court, and the affairs of this day were presided over by Concubine Chun, with Yinzhen and Yinhu watching from the sidelines, and finally nothing happened.In the evening, Kangxi hosted a banquet for the Manchu Eight Banners relatives and dignitaries in the Palace of Preserving Harmony.The third day of the lunar new year is the Empress Dowager's celebration day. On this day, Kangxi had a family banquet in Qianqing Palace.The banquet in the palace continued until the fifth day of the lunar new year.On the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, Kangxi's annual holiday ended, and the writing was started in Qianqing Palace, and then the first court meeting after the new year began.The content of this court meeting is also very simple, it is nothing more than saying some auspicious words, praying that the Qing Dynasty will prosper in the new year and the people will be safe and peaceful.After that, everything was on the right track, and Kangxi began to go to court, go down to court, criticize papers, and summon ministers every day.Yinzhen and Yinhu followed Kangxi to handle government affairs, and nothing happened during this period.

On the sixth day of the lunar new year, Concubine Shu thought that the ninth day of the ninth day happened to be the [-]th day of the fifteenth elder brother, and it was logical that there would be a hundred-day banquet for the younger elder brother in the palace.But because Wei Guiren was killed by Kangxi, no one in the palace mentioned it.Concubine Shu thought about having a small hundred-day feast for elder brother fifteen in the palace, and prayed that the child would live a long life.As soon as the matter was reported to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs told Concubine Shu that the [-]th Elder Brother's Hundred Day Banquet will be hosted by the Empress Dowager and the Emperor just like other princes, and the venue will be in the Hall of Preserving Harmony.Concubine Shu breathed a sigh of relief: It seems that the emperor did not dislike this child because of Wei Guiren, he still attaches great importance to this child!

On the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, Kangxi and the Empress Dowager hosted the [-]-day banquet for the [-]th elder brother. Concubine Shu stood beside Kangxi holding the [-]th elder brother and asked the [-]th elder brother to recognize their relatives one by one.Afterwards, Kangxi named the [-]th elder brother Yongyan, implying good moral character.The following officials shouted long live.Kangxi gave a banquet again in the Hall of Preserving Harmony, entertaining all the ministers.

Halfway through the banquet, Kangxi and the Empress Dowager hung the longevity lock around Yongyan's neck, wishing him a long life, and then Concubine Chun gave gifts on behalf of the Empress, followed by Concubine Shu herself, Concubine Qing, Concubine Ying, Concubine Wan, etc. people.The dignitaries from various palaces often prepared gifts for the little elder brother. Everyone put the prepared gifts on the tray in front of them and let the little eunuch carry them away.

Mr. Rong also put the prepared things on the tray, looked at Kangxi from time to time, watched Kangxi smile and toast with all the ministers, Hanxiang bit his lips, his face showed a desperate expression, full of determination, suddenly rushed Going to the center of the hall, kneeling on the ground, looking at Kangxi stubbornly, said: "The emperor..."

Kangxi looked at this Hanxiang who suddenly rushed out, and saw that she was still wearing Hui costumes, and felt a little regretful: when she entered the palace, someone should have been sent to teach her the rules of the palace!I really shouldn't just let Baocheng have fun and ignore her.Now wearing this white dress, he dares to come to the prince's hundred-day banquet.What a bad luck!Kangxi resisted the urge to caress his forehead, and said with a smile: "Master Rong, I'm not used to palace banquets... come here..." Kangxi looked at Hanxiang with a determined face, guessing that she might say something like letting her out of the palace, My heart was a little cold.

Yinzhen winked at the maid, who stepped forward and knelt beside Hanxiang, waiting for Kangxi to speak.

Kangxi's eyes were cold, he looked at Hanxiang and said: "Since Ronggui is not used to it, let her go back to Changchun Palace..." Kangxi's voice was a little hard, his face was smiling, and his whole body was emitting a chill.The courtiers below felt an inexplicable coldness. Looking at Kangxi's expression again, they knew that the emperor was angry. All of them lowered their heads, not daring to vent their breath, and the hall was silent for a while.

After listening to Kangxi's words, the palace maid hurriedly "helped" Hanxiang up in the silence, "Your Honor, I will send you back to the palace..." She said, "supporting" her arm and walked outside.

Hanxiang was stunned by Kangxi's aura at first, and then she was supported by the maid to take a few steps back. Seeing Kangxi's face getting smaller and smaller, she suddenly realized that this was the first time she saw the emperor after entering the palace. If she didn't make it clear to the emperor at this time, she might have to wait another year.

During Hanxiang's stay in the palace, she had already thought very clearly that the emperor didn't like her, although she was a little lucky at the beginning, and thought it was good, at least she could defend Mengdan like a jade.However, after waiting for a while, she felt guilty again. Everyone in the palace regarded her as transparent. She never took the initiative to come to see her when she was talking. Hanxiang was bored in the palace alone, and Wei Na was submissive. Although she was very obedient and cared about her, she was far less clever than Gina.It's a pity that Gina was taken away by the empress dowager when she first came to the palace, and now she is staying in the empress' Kunning Palace, so she can't see her casually.Hanxiang took the initiative to go out a few times, but every time she couldn't get out of the Changchun Palace, she would be persuaded to come back by the guards.As time goes by, Hanxiang no longer wants to find Gina, anyway, Gina can't help her much.Later, Hanxiang pointed the finger at the emperor, and Hanxiang also knew that the emperor didn't want to see her, so she was lukewarm towards her. At first, Hanxiang was a little disappointed, but later she thought it was okay, maybe this way the emperor could Let go of yourself and let yourself and Mengdan stay and fly together.So Hanxiang began to inquire about the emperor's whereabouts, and wanted to talk to the emperor and ask him to let him out of the palace.However, she inquired in many ways in the palace, but she did not find any news about the emperor. She finally remembered that when he first came, the fifteenth elder brother was born, and the ninth day of the lunar new year happened to be his hundred-day banquet. Hosting the banquet, Hanxiang decided to focus on today's banquet.

Han Xiang suddenly broke away from the maid's hand, ran over again, knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, I know you don't like me, and I'll tell you frankly that it was not my intention to come to the capital..."

When the courtiers heard this, they all lowered their heads, for fear that the emperor would be angry.I am extremely disdainful of this Hanxiang in my heart: I don't even look at your identity, and dare to confess to the emperor!

Yinyi and the others knew the whole story, and when they heard Hanxiang's words, they also knew what Hanxiang was going to say.They hated secretly, they should have kept her in circles if they had known that this person was so out of tune and didn't know how to read the situation.Yinzhen glanced at the few maids who were placed next to Hanxiang, and hated in his heart: This Hanxiang is really going to embarrass Huang Ama, it seems that he has to find a way...

Feeling the majesty of Emperor Kangxi again, the queen mother hugged Yongyan, shrank in her seat and did not speak.The concubines were even more silent, waiting to see what would happen to Han Xiang.

Kangxi smiled lightly, and said: "Rong Gui said that, you mean I forced you to come?"

Hanxiang said with awe-inspiring righteousness: "Your Majesty, Shengming, our Hui tribe is under your attack, and the people are already in dire straits. My father Khan told me to put the people first. I followed my father Khan's order and cared about the people of the Hui tribe, so I came here." Come here. My people are here, and my heart will always be with the clansmen, on the other side of the Tianshan Mountain forever." Hanxiang said righteously, looking at Kangxi neither humble nor overbearing, "Your Majesty, it is your cavalry that Let Hanxiang come here."

Kangxi smiled lightly and said: "Princess Hanxiang is righteous, and she came here for the return of the people. Then, what you said is also for the benefit of the returnees?" Kangxi looked at Hanxiang and said with a smile: " Don't worry, Huibu now surrenders to my Qing Dynasty, and the people of Huibu are also my people, and I worry about their survival and food and clothing, so don't worry about Ronggui!"

These few words made Yinyi's heart tremble: Huang Ama wanted to bring Huibu into the Qing Dynasty!This fragrance gave the imperial court an excellent reason to send troops!Yinzhen looked at Hanxiang with burning eyes, Yinzhen had a smile on his face, and Yinhu looked at Hanxiang expectantly: I hope Hanxiang can tell about her personal relationship with Mengdan, so that the Qing Dynasty can send troops in a legitimate way Back to the Ministry!

Hanxiang looked at Kangxi, shook her head and said: "Your Majesty, Hanxiang also knows that you don't like Hanxiang, and Hanxiang doesn't really want to be your concubine. Let me tell you the truth about Hanxiang, Hanxiang used to have a marriage contract Yes, Hanxiang is loyal to that person, the wind is fluttering, the sand is flying... Your majesty, you are so noble, so high above you, please raise your hands high, let Hanxiang, a small grain of sand, flutter with the wind. Hanxiang Xiang will be grateful to you forever!" Han Xiang then kowtowed to Kangxi with a begging face.

Kangxi didn't even look at her, but asked the ministers, "What do you think?"

Yinxuan attended and knelt down and said: "Huang Ama, Ali and Zhuo Ju have ulterior motives. They dare to dedicate an unclean woman who has already been engaged to my Qing Dynasty. It is clear that they despise Huang Ama and the majesty of my Qing Dynasty. My son, please!" The decree, I wish to lead the troops into Huibu to capture Ali and Zhuo, so as to rectify our Qing power."

When the courtiers heard Hanxiang's words, they had a lot of opinions on Huibu's sending such a woman to the Qing Dynasty, but when they heard Yinyi's words, everyone seconded their opinions.Fu Heng and Fu Zhongtang attended and knelt down and said: "The slave seconded the fifth Baylor!"

Immediately afterwards, everyone attended and knelt down one after another, "The ministers and others seconded the proposal. I implore the emperor to obey!" The last sound echoed in the Hall of Preserving Harmony.

Han Xiang was so frightened that her face turned pale. She never thought that things would turn out like this, and she never thought that because of her words, these people would ask the emperor to send his troops back.Han Xiang was so frightened that her teeth chattered, she stammered and said: "Your Majesty, Han Xiangbi doesn't mean that, if you don't want to let Han Xiang leave, just stay here. Please don't fight in Daxing anymore, come back The subjects of the Ministry are already very pitiful..." Han Xiang hurriedly kowtowed.

Kangxi didn't look at her, and said: "Since the ministers seconded this matter, the matter of sending troops back to the Ministry is settled like this. Hanxiang..." Kangxi looked at Hanxiang and said: "Since you said your heart is in Tianshan, then I will let you go back to Tianshan..."

Hearing the words, Han Xiang said happily, "Really?" Seeing Kangxi's cold and confident eyes, she suddenly became excited, and hurriedly kowtowed: "Please take back your life, Han Xiang wishes to stay in the palace for the rest of his life, and never return to the Ministry again. , Your Majesty, please take it back..."

Kangxi narrowed his eyes slightly, and said: "Princess Hanxiang, do you know what the meaning of 'junwu joke'..." Kangxi looked at Hanxiang's dazed face, and said: "There are many foreign princesses in my harem, but you are The first one who dared to ask me to return to my clan...Princess Hanxiang, please remember that the disaster of returning to the tribe was caused by you!"

Han Xiang was so frightened that her face paled, she said cowardly: "Your Majesty, Han Xiang will not dare again, please forgive me."

Kangxi didn't look at her, and said to the civil and military officials in the main hall: "This time I send troops back to the headquarters, let Princess Hanxiang go with the army!"

All the ministers in the hall did not object.Yinfei thinks it's good to do this, let Ali and Zhuo and the Hui tribe see, it is this woman who brought disaster to their Hui tribe!

Hanxiang didn't know why, but when she heard Kangxi's last few words so emphatically, she didn't feel the joy of going back to Huibu, but her heart was cold: Meng Dan, I brought disaster to the people of Huibu!Montan, what should I do?

Kangxi said: "We will discuss the matter of dispatching troops in detail tomorrow morning. Let's leave today..."

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live..."
