Emperor Tong's Concubine Tong in Qing Dynasty

Brother Ba went to find Lao Jiu and Lao Shi, but he didn't know where the two drunks had gone. They waited in Lao Jiu's house for a long time but they didn't come over.

The servants who were sent out to look for them were not found. Brother Ba had a lot of troubles a year ago, so he left his eunuch at Lao Jiu's house and went home to deal with other things by himself.

And Lao Jiu and Lao Ten brothers were dangling in the carriage. After a while, Lao Jiu drank so much wine and felt a little sick after being bumped by the carriage.

He asked people to stop the carriage, jumped off himself, crouched at the intersection and vomited for a while, at this moment, a scent came from the alley in front of him.

After throwing up so much wine, he felt a little hungry, so he asked his servant to find a cup of fragrant tea nearby to rinse his mouth, then turned around to discuss with the old ten in the car, "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat? Have you heard of this?" It smells very fragrant."

There was nothing in Lao Shi's stomach, and he looked up at the sky. The sky was gloomy and occasionally there were a few scattered snowflakes falling down.But the smell in the distance is so captivating, he originally wanted to say that there are some low houses and dilapidated earthen walls, what good food can there be here?

But this smell is really too fragrant, "It seems to be meaty," after saying that, he jumped out of the car, and after getting out of the carriage, the smell became even stronger.

"At the foot of the emperor, at the root of the imperial city." After finishing speaking, the old ten turned around and looked around, "We are in the outer city, but it's okay, this is the capital city after all, and no one dares not to mess with us two. Why don't you try it?"

"When the slave finds the water and lets me drink it, let's eat it."

After a while, a little eunuch came over with a big iron pot and two large porcelain bowls, "Master, don't be disgusted, there are no decent teahouses around, so the slave went to someone's house to borrow bowls and let them drink them." After boiling the hot water, don’t worry, this bowl has been boiled in hot water for a while, so there will be no oil or smell, and we have tea cakes, so I’ll make you a bowl of tea.”

Seeing that this slave was followed by an old man, Lao Jiu took the bowl over and saw a crack on the big bowl, and some iron nails were set beside it to put the crack together.

"Tenth brother, look, this porcelain mending skill is good, this work is not rough."

The old ten stretched his head over to have a look, the mending was very beautiful, the princes in the imperial city had never used this kind of bowls, the bowls they used were all tributes, all of them were high-quality goods.

It was broken and thrown away immediately.It is not easy for ordinary people to buy a set, even if it is broken into eight pieces, they still have to collect the pieces and find someone to repair them.

The eunuch broke the tea cake into two bowls, poured hot water into it, poured out the tea after it boiled, poured the hot water a second time, and this was the tea to drink.

Old Ten put it down after taking two sips. He was not very thirsty.And Lao Jiu squatted on the ground with a bowl of tea and rinsed his mouth a few times.After spilling the tea and tea leaves, he stacked the bowls together with the big iron pot and handed them to the old man who followed.

The old man spoke auspicious words, and stared at the tea cake that he broke just now.The eunuch knew what this meant. There were all kinds of small things on the carriage, and the tea cakes he brought were not just this one, but also other famous teas, so he gave the rest to the old man.

"It's a good thing. It's Chinese New Year, and it's good to entertain guests. You can keep it."

The old man is very grateful, when the tea boiled just now, he could already smell the smell.The old man was reluctant to entertain relatives and friends with this thing, he had already thought about it, and when the time came, he would take this bit of broken tea cake and go to a teahouse in the city to sell it, and he could sell it for some money.

The two brothers got into the carriage, and two of the four eunuchs followed the carriage and two sat on the carriage.I went to a small alley, which was full of large courtyards. Today, people from one of the large courtyards chipped in to buy a pig and a sheep. After discussing how to divide the meat, they started killing the pigs and sheep.

There were laughter and laughter in the yard, and the smell of refining lard wafted far away.

A carriage stopped outside their courtyard, and a handsome man patted the door.

"What do you eat? It's so delicious, our master wants to ask you to buy some."

As soon as the people in the yard heard that it was money, some elderly people rushed to greet them, "We are oil residues, and the oil residues produced by thick oil boards are fragrant for ten miles. Please, sir." Get off the car, the sesame seed cakes made by Jia’s family in our yard are the best, and the sour soup made by Hu’s family is the most delicious. There is also an old man who works as a chef in a big restaurant. Now he is resting at home when he is old. After finishing his errand, he will continue to be the chef, and I will prepare a whole table of good dishes for you today."

After the two brothers listened in the carriage, the old ten took a piece of silver from the hidden compartment of the carriage, lifted the curtain and threw it to the old man. Show your skills, if our brothers eat well, There is also such a silver coin as a reward for you.

The people in the yard suddenly became happy, and quickly cleaned up the dirty things, lit a fire in the yard, and set up a table.A shed was torn out with waterproof tarps.

Sitting in the shed, the two brothers did not feel cold. The little eunuch went to find hot water again, brewed a few large bowls of tea, and brought it to them.

After a while, a basket of small biscuits was brought up. They looked good, with sesame seeds on them, and when they bit into it, the burnt skin on the outside was accompanied by a fresh and salty taste. Both brothers couldn't help but nodded.

"It's delicious."

"Smell it, it smells like flour. I found out that you have to eat fresh food. It tastes the best when you eat it around the pot. No matter how good the craftsmanship is, when it is brought to us in a gentle manner, the taste has changed. ".

After speaking, he rewarded the eunuchs with the remaining small biscuits, and told them, "Since it is out today, you can eat it vigorously. If this biscuit is not enough, let them make it again."

The four monitors were beaming, and they agreed, and the old ten called them back again, "Don't tell others about our family affairs, and don't show off your power. If you let the master know that you are here to rub the big girl and the young Daughter-in-law, yell at the people in the courtyard, and when you go back, you will be skinned."

The eunuchs didn't even dare to shout, and sent someone to the kitchen to make more sesame seed cakes.Because of the ingot of silver just now, people in the whole yard were busy, and some daughters-in-law quickly took another scoop of white flour, added water, and continued to make cakes.

Several old people in the yard cut the silver ingot just now into small pieces with scissors and an axe.The top-quality snowflake silver has not been cut, and its surface is slightly black. After cutting, the fracture is white and delicate, and the brightness is compelling, so I took a piece of it in my mouth and bit it impatiently.

"It's real silver."

These small pieces of silver were put on a piece of cloth and breaded up, and later everyone who contributed could share the money.The old men in the yard changed their clothes and washed their faces, and planned to talk with the nobleman.

The meal was delicious, the sour soup was refreshing, the sesame seed cakes were salty and fragrant, and there was a plate of stir-fried large intestines that tasted good.On the car back after eating, the eunuch faltered and said that the large intestine was from a pig, and the brothers were not angry.Instead, he shaved his teeth with a silver toothpick after drinking and eating.

"A family's annual expenses are only 20 taels of silver, which is really not much."

"How difficult people's lives are."

"Ninth Brother, why have you become concerned about the country and the people?" Old Ten turned over and looked at him, "What's wrong? You want to take on an errand?"

The two brothers don't have any decent errands at hand, that is, they usually help the old eighth, but the old nine has a job that is relatively open, and that is doing business. This person is indeed talented in this area. Bowl full.

Lao Jiu shook his head, "I'm full? Do you think everyone is like Lao Si, who works by himself and forces others to work with him? Donkeys don't work as hard as him. I just Just a few words of emotion, this world is the old man's world, how much money a family spends and earns in a year is something that the old man considers. I will take care of me, take care of you by the way, and just coax my mother-in-law."

Before Old Ten could speak, a little eunuch reported outside, "My lords, the curfew is coming, and there are people coming from the opposite side. Shall we show the banner of the mansion?"

"No need," Lao Jiu sat up, "This is a troubled time, and when this matter spreads to other people, it will be a matter of right and wrong."

Afterwards, he lowered his head and asked Old Ten, "Is there any other hospital near you? Let's make do for the night first."

Old Ten shook his head, "What other courtyard can I have, I have a mansion in the Forty-Nine City."

The eunuch reported outside, "Elder Eleven's mansion is on the street behind. If we turn around now, the group in front will not be able to touch us. Lord, do you want to go to Lord Eleven?"

Old Eleven's house was well cleaned up, but because he was a bachelor, Concubine Yi didn't allow him to live outside in winter, and had to keep him in the palace to feel at ease.

Lao Jiu nodded, the carriage diverted, and arrived at the gate of Eleven's house in a short while.The eunuchs in this mansion quickly arranged the courtyard, the house was burning warmly, and brought the bath water over, after some tossing, the two brothers fell asleep comfortably.

The people left by Eighth Prince waited until the next morning, but no two people came.

And Lao Jiu and Lao Shi slept so comfortably that they didn't wake up until half the morning, and sent someone to their respective homes to send a message, asking them to pack up their things and prepare their horses, and the two of them were going out of the city to sacrifice.

If you want to leave the capital, you must get Kangxi's consent. The two tidied up and went to the palace to ask Kangxi for leave.

Kangxi thought about it, this time also happened to be the time for offering sacrifices. In previous years, the prince would sacrifice to several emperors, but this year the prince was abolished, and the ancestors had to sacrifice.

After dismissing the two sons in front of him, Kangxi asked people to call the fourth elder brother and the eighth elder brother over.

Because the land of Longxing was too far away, it was too late, so the only one who could sacrifice near the capital was the late emperor.

They sent these two sons to go there together, and after offering sacrifices to the first emperor, they went to offer sacrifices to the Empress Dowager.After explaining that they left early and returned early, Kangxi waved his hand, regardless of what our two sons thought in their hearts or the expressions on their faces, they drove them out directly.

The eighth elder brother and the fourth elder brother were both dissatisfied, and they didn't know what the old man thought. Since the old man didn't show up, and the prince went there alone in previous years, why did he arrange two people this year?

The fourth elder brother murmured in his heart, could it be that he and the eighth brother are the same in Huang Ama's eyes?All are eligible to compete for the crown prince.This is really good news, I have to show more.

The eighth elder brother thought, sure enough, the fourth brother is the most difficult among these brothers.

The two of them picked up their errands and hurried home to prepare their luggage.

As soon as he left the palace, Eighth Brother received news that the old nine and old ten had already left the city.As for where they went, this group of people didn't dare to follow too closely, so they don't know.

Without the old man's order, other than going back and forth between the city and the city in summer, the others rarely leave the city.The eighth elder brother thought in his heart: Could it be that Huang Ama sent them out to do other things?

But now I have important things to do, so I can only put the others down.

In a blink of an eye, the New Year is here.Tian Mi's condition has finally recovered for the most part. Although she is able to come out to see people, she still has a severe cough.

This year's Chinese New Year is different from the past. In the past, the whole family was crowded together, and the boss's loud voice was always indispensable, but this year the boss was locked up, the second child did not come out, and the third child finally came out, but brothers are not waiting to see he.

Also because of the abolishment of the prince this year, the atmosphere of the royal reunion was not good, and it was a little lifeless.

Kangxi's face was serious and he didn't like to talk to others. The sons could only smile. Without the loud and active atmosphere of the boss yelling at the side, these people were not willing to be the first to speak.

And the old thirteen's legs are not very comfortable, even though he appeared on this occasion, he seemed to dodge a bit.Usually bold, he stopped talking to others now, and started to study the pattern on the wine glass after taking a few sips of stuffy wine with his head down.The fourth child often looked at the thirteenth child a few times, and the two occasionally looked at each other, which was regarded as communication.

No one on the prince's side is willing to talk, but Fujin's side is different.

Bafujin is arrogant, whether the status of these people is strong or not depends entirely on the strength of their husbands.But even so, Da Fujin and the Crown Princess were not like Ba Fujin.

Bafujin seems to have regarded herself as the crown princess. At the beginning, the princess was also Erfujin. Every time they got together, they couldn't help caring about the children of each family.Bafujin also learned this trick.

She first cared about the third child's family. The third child was not allowed to go out and socialize with others, but San Fujin was not restricted.But because of the relationship between the third child, San Fujin tried to go out as little as possible, except for those occasions where he had to appear in person.

People will inevitably ask her what she is doing at home?Why don't you come out and listen to the play together? Every time Sanfujin uses the health of the children at home as an excuse, "Our little Gege has been ill these two days and can't go out." "Our little elder brother was naughty two days ago." Well, he fell off the railing of the corridor, and his body was black and blue, and he has been coaxing him for the past two days."

……

However, Bafujin took these reasons seriously, "Raising a child is really not easy, it's hard work for the third sister-in-law, but speaking of which, these are all bastards, let their mother-in-law take care of them, why does the third sister-in-law take care of them?"

No, if you say Sanfujin in private, you really appreciate it, but right now everyone is sitting here, and the empress is listening, how do you let Sanfujin answer?

San Fujin suspected that Fujin Ba was trying to set him up, and then grinned at Fujin with a half-hearted smile, and then started eating melon seeds.

After talking to the third sister-in-law, it will be the turn of the fourth sister-in-law, because Tian Mi has been ill recently, and Si Fujin has been serving in the palace for more than half a month, even if there are court ladies and eunuchs, Si Fujin can't help but worry.Moreover, living in the palace is not as comfortable as being at home. There is also a young son who is often missed at home, so the longer Si Fujin is in the palace, the more haggard he looks.

Just because of this complexion problem, several people cared about her today.

Seeing Ba Fujin's eyes fixed on him, Sifu knew very well that the opponent's dog couldn't spit out ivory.Just now, I was speechless from what my sister-in-law said, and it might be my turn now, Si Fujin put the melon seeds in his hand on the plate, "Sisters-in-law and younger brothers and sisters sit down first, I'll take a look at our house Little Four will be back."

Wu Fujin was also very shrewd, and stood up, "Fourth sister-in-law, wait for me, I'll go with you. I seem to have heard that little thing in our house shouting loudly. I don't know if he lost his temper with his brothers again. gone."

The two moved very quickly, they had already stood up and left, Qifujin thumped in his heart, grabbed the melon seeds and turned his head to talk to Jiufujin.

"How is the ninth brother and sister at home?"

"Okay, by the way, I remembered something. A few days ago, someone sent two jars of Nanyang brown sugar to our family. It tasted very sweet. Even if it is a bowl of white water, a spoonful of it is sweet. It’s no worse than honey water, tomorrow I’ll send someone to give you a jar for my nephew and niece Tiantianzuier.”

"Oh, really? I thank Aunt Jiu for them."

"Should be, should be. But speaking of it again, Seventh Sister-in-law, you have to pay attention, they will damage their teeth if they eat too much sugar."

"Is this true? Why haven't I heard of it?"

"It's true. Before I got married, the relatives of my neighbor's family were their aunt's sister-in-law's cousin's cousin's uncle's third uncle. There was a lot of sugar in the house, and the children's teeth would rot if they ate it. .”

"Really? But speaking of it, it's just a family like this, and it can't be said that eating too much sugar will rot your teeth."

"I also know one more thing. The youngest son of my uncle's family's cousin's mother-in-law's handkerchief is next to a rich businessman in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. That house is also like this. It is said that they rinse their mouths with sugar water, and the whole family often teeth. pain."

"Really?" Qi Fujin's tone, movements, and expressions were all exaggerated.

Jiufujin spoke even harder, the two of them couldn't finish the conversation for a while, Bafujin couldn't get in the conversation several times, and opened his mouth again and again, but the two talked too fast, and they lost themselves in the discussion , Bafujin's eyes turned and jumped to Shifujin.

In the past, this Mongolian barbarian has nothing to say to her, and if he talks to her, he might even drive himself to death.

Brother Eleven is still a bachelor, Yang Dan is a bit older than Eleven, but Yang Dan is keeping his filial piety.So the daughter-in-law who is also the royal family, there are only so many people sitting on this table.

Bafujin sighed, thinking of the kind sister-in-law at this time, it's a pity, if there is no sister-in-law and second sister-in-law on this occasion, it would be much less interesting.

Even if only two families are missing, many people still feel a little awkward.Most people dare not speak out about the topic, only the Queen Mother dares to speak up.

"There is no boss and second child for the New Year's Eve. My heart is empty. I don't know if they have dumplings?"

After Kangxi heard this, he glanced at the queen mother.

Tian Mi hurriedly took the Queen Mother's hand, "Don't worry, old man, the two of them will not be wronged during the Chinese New Year. Not only are there all kinds of New Year's goods, but even the children's new clothes, New Year's money, books, pens and ink have been sent to them. This year's tribute Some of the good ingredients that came were distributed to the two of them. A lot of meat and egg milk tea that should be had during the Chinese New Year was also sent. By the way, the female relatives of the eldest and second two families have rouge jewelry, just rest assured. They That is, you can’t come here, and everything else is the same as in previous years.”

After hearing this, the Queen Mother lowered her head and muttered, "How can it be the same? It's not the same at all."

Tian Mi was really at a loss now, looked at Kangxi, Kangxi shook his head.The maid next to the queen mother hurried out alone, and after a while, a group of children came swaying behind her.

These children ran over chattering around in front of the Queen Mother, one begging for cakes, the other begging for New Year's money.A dozen or so men and women chattered and refused to accept anyone.

Tian Mi's brain hurts from the noise of hundreds of ducks, but this kind of noise is what the Queen Mother needs most.He happily touched the heads of these children one by one, and gave them whatever they wanted.

"Yes, yes, there are cakes and pancakes. There is lucky money, and you are indispensable. You can't eat frozen persimmons. You have weak stomachs and can't eat them..."

The group of children in front of them didn't have much awe, and some of them had already started to climb up to the empress dowager's seat.Kangxi was obviously a little disturbed by these little things. Seeing that a little thing had squeezed in front of him, his buttocks were pushed against his legs, and he wanted to step back.

He couldn't help but picked up the little thing, put it sideways on his lap, with his belly down and his butt up, and patted his butt twice.

"Which family do you belong to? Why are you so unruly?"

The children were all stunned. A three-headed kid ran out of this group of little things. He seemed to have just learned to walk. He stumbled and threw himself on Kangxi's lap at this moment, yelling at Kangxi:

"Put it down, put it down, and hit the board."

The little guy Tian Mi recognized who was yelling at his grandfather was Hongli, the youngest son of the fourth elder brother's family.

You are a fat boy.

"Hongli, how can you talk to you, Mafa?"

When Hongli heard someone calling his name, he turned his head to look at Tian Mi, and found that he didn't recognize him, but he still couldn't help pointing at the little guy who was placed on Kangxi's lap, "Fuck!"

This means that the little brother I just met was spanked.

Kangxi had nothing to worry about with these children. When he looked up, the fourth and seventh brothers had already knelt down.

Those who were placed on Kangxi's lap were the children of Lao Qi's family. If you didn't look at their fathers, you really wouldn't know these grandchildren.

Kangxi snorted, put down the little guy on his lap, picked up Hongli, and slapped his butt twice, "Come on, you both have been punished before, behave yourself, if you don't behave well, I'll beat you up later. How dare you climb onto the Empress Dowager's seat? Everyone is quite courageous!"

This group of children belonged to everyone, and when they saw the emperor's father blaming him, the princes all knelt down.The fourth brother and the seventh brother kowtowed like garlic, and now Si Fujin and Qi Fujin also followed to plead guilty.

Kangxi looked very boring, he didn't want to care about these kids, just now he brought up his little grandson and slapped his grandson twice because he was bored, but he didn't use much force, there was not even a slap mark on his buttocks, and he lightly slapped his butt through his clothes. Lightly clapped twice.But the people present thought they were angry!

Ugh!

Suddenly feeling dispirited, Kangxi waved his hand and asked the servants to lead the group of little things down, and then asked the fourth and seventh to get up, "You were more unruly when you were young than they were, and those who don't know are innocent. They are all young and ignorant, I forgive them for their innocence, and those of you who are celebrating Chinese New Year, stop kneeling, get up, drink and drink, and talk."

The brothers thanked me a lot.After getting up, he backed up and went back to the table.Lao Ba had no children but knelt down with his brothers to plead guilty. It wasn't that he didn't want to kneel, but that he felt very uncomfortable. Others were thinking about how to wipe their children's butts every day.

In the evening, Tian Mi and Kangxi returned to the Qian Palace. The two sat in the carriage with a brazier on it. Kangxi was still brooding about what happened tonight.

"Who do they think I am? An unreasonable and unreasonable tyrant can kill his grandson even if he gets provoked?"

"How can there be? The son is not the fault of the father. These little brothers are not well-educated, so let the father come out to plead guilty. Don't say it is in our house. The children made mistakes on the street. Shouldn't the adults also come out to help?" What? You're just on the edge of a dead end."

After Kangxi heard this, he put Tian Mi's hand into his own, "You really think so? Maybe it's you who think so, other people may not necessarily."

"What do other people have to do with you? I am the closest to you. I don't even think about you that way. What are you so sad about?

There are some things that I should say. Ever since the second elder brother had a falling out with you, you have been a little suspicious.I always feel that these sons are not good things. "

"Isn't it? Then tell me which of these children is a good one?"

"Fifth, Seventh, Yangdan, Eleventh, Twelfth... Leaving aside the younger ones, are half of the older ones good kids?"

In other words, because the eldest sons were too neglected in the past, these children actually did not make trouble. Kangxi couldn't help but nodded at the moment, "They are really well-behaved and didn't make trouble. But I thought you would What about the fourth child?"

"He hasn't had trouble with messy things, but he has never been lenient in external affairs. Two days ago, people from my natal family came and said that it was Chinese New Year. He received an extra bag of rice, and the fourth child insisted on asking the officials to ask for it back.

My sister-in-law sued me when she was upset. Naturally, I was partial to my son, but what my sister-in-law meant was just a bag of rice, and it was not worth it to hurt relatives for a bag of rice.I asked her at the time: Since she is a relative, and he came to ask for it, shouldn’t it be enough for you to return it to him?This bag of rice originally belonged to the imperial court, not the Tong family.My sister-in-law was so angry that her heart ached, her face was ugly when she left. "

"Huh," Kangxi snorted coldly, "it's in their hands, how could they be willing to spit it out. But speaking of it, this is one of the strengths of the fourth child and also one of his weaknesses. To put it mildly, it is a firm will. To put it bluntly, it’s stubborn. Let’s not talk about the fourth child. Since the death of the eldest uncle, the second uncle has been in charge of the Tong family. Now it seems a bit powerless, especially as he is getting older and Kua Dai and the others You're such a jerk. If you don't clean up the family, something will happen."

It is well known that Kangxi favored his biological mother's natal family. At this time, he was even more worried, fearing that the family would fall apart after his death.

But he thought again, he couldn't even take care of his own family's affairs, and taking care of his grandparent's family's affairs was just a matter of being full.So her complexion was a little bad, and she told Tian Mi not to worry about the Tong family's affairs: "Your health is not good, taking care of yourself is a great achievement, and you have more energy, look at the little elder brother and the princess in the palace more. Don't worry about things outside."

Tian Mi nodded, and put her hand on Kangxi's chest to comfort him, "How is it? The two of us said a few words, do you feel better and not as angry as before?"

"I'm not angry anymore. As the old saying goes, clothes are not as good as newcomers. In this palace, you are the only one who dares to say a few heartfelt words to me. The others don't know how fearful they are right now."

In his heart, he sincerely prayed to God to let Tian Mi live longer, and after his cousin passed away, he really became a lonely family.Maybe at that time, if there is a little turmoil, he will be able to turn everything into an enemy.

The carriage entered Chengqian Palace, and the servants put the stools beside the carriage.

"The emperor's empress, here we are."

Mr. Kangxi stretched out his hand to gather Tian Mi's cloak, let her put on the hat again, and put the stove in her hand to hold it.He got out of the carriage first, helped Tian Mi down, and quickly entered the hall with his arms around her.

Tian Mi, who had walked a few steps, was out of breath, sitting on the kang panting for breath.

At this time, the maid who stayed in Chengqian Palace brought over a large bowl of medicine, Tian Mi took a deep breath, picked up the medicine bowl and drank it in one go.

"How? Is this medicine effective?"

"Some effect, but the effect is slower."

"Your body is weak, don't be too hasty, too hasty will damage your body."

The two were sitting on the kang talking, and there were a few shouts in the yard.A eunuch quickly opened the curtain, and Honghui had already arrived with his sisters and brothers.

It was already midnight after the banquet was over, and the weather was too cold. Tian Mi had ordered Si Fujin a few days ago that the couple could go back if they didn’t want to be in the palace, but the children had to stay in the palace and let them sleep for a while. I feel that I will let the children go back after paying New Year's greetings tomorrow during the day.Otherwise, running back and forth, the children are prone to catch cold, and getting sick will be a big deal at that time.

The fourth elder brother has two daughters and four sons, and now their concubine is pregnant again.Six children stood in front of them, the two girls were fine, and the two youngest among the boys were yawning non-stop.

And Hongli, the fourth son who was yawning, looked at Kangxi with his mouth open.

Seeing his cute appearance, Tian Mi couldn't help laughing, but seeing that the children were sleepy now, she asked the maids to take them to the furnished room to sleep first.

After these children left, Kangxi couldn't help but said: "I see that you like that little bastard named Hongli very much, why don't you take him in and raise him. After all, Honghui is getting older, and now he is studying hard, and he can't do it for a month." I won’t be able to come to you in a few days, so it’s better to raise another little one.”

Forget it, Tian Mi thought of Qianlong when she saw Hongli. She had a bad impression of Emperor Qianlong, so she quickly waved her hand.

"I'm already sick like this, how can I take care of my child, don't let the child recuperate at that time. If Honghui recovers in a few years and Honghui has a child, I would like to take care of the child for Honghui. But speaking of it, it will be more than ten years before Honghui will have a child, and Yangdan should be the first to have a child."

Kangxi sighed, although he was joking with Tian Mi, he didn't think that he and his cousin could live until Honghui's son was born.

It snowed again at night, and the snowflakes fell down like goose feathers.

These princes have all left the palace, waiting outside the palace gate to get on the carriage.

The fourth eldest couple didn't even bring their two side Fujins with them.There were a bunch of children in Lao Qi's house, and he found that Lao Si's family was all adults, and the children had disappeared, so he took a closer look.He brought the child out by himself, and the children of other families stayed in the palace.

"Mistake," Lao Qi turned to Fujin and said, "Why didn't I think of leaving the child with Er Niang just now, look at today's weather, even the adults can't stand the cold, let alone the children."

Seven Fujin has a daughter, she is too young, she was born not long ago, and she didn't carry her into the palace this time.She had just discovered that other people's children stayed in the harem, but she and Lao Qi had a normal relationship as husband and wife. Before Qi Fujin entered the house, there was already a side Fujin in the mansion. The side Fujin and Lao Qi looked like a couple .I'm like the wicked side Fujin, the villain who broke them up!

Qi Ye and Chuan Fujin usually look at each other affectionately, and this Fang Fujin has given birth to four children in a row in recent years.The matter among wives and concubines made Qi Fujin somewhat displeased with this side Fujin.

At that time, I didn't remind Lao Qi, anyway, it wasn't my own child who was frozen, so I didn't see it.

At this time, everyone got into the carriage and said goodbye to each other a few times, and went back to their respective homes.

Lao Ba deliberately wanted to walk with Lao Jiu. Lao Jiu heard the sound of wheels crushing ice and snow outside, turned over and lay down and told Jiu Fujin, "It doesn't matter who comes later, even if it's Fifth Brother, you say I was drunk and passed out, I will talk about it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.”

Sure enough, after a while, the eighth boy was also outside, asking Master Jiu to come down and talk.

Jiu Fujin responded in the carriage, "Our lord was drunk just now, please wait a little longer, let's talk about it when we pray tomorrow."

There was only half a night left, so of course Lao Ba could afford to wait, so he went home first.

After Lao Jiu returned home, he wandered around the house. Looking at him, Jiu Fujin knew that he wanted to part ways with Lao Ba, but he didn't know what to say.

"It's been more than half a month, and I haven't remembered what to say?"

"Hey, after all these years of relationship, how can we just break it up. And we are also brothers, so I am too embarrassed to open my mouth to say anything until the last step."

And Lao Jiu has been avoiding Lao Ba for half a month, but Lao Ba doesn't seem to understand the meaning here.This made Lao Jiu very distressed.

"It's not easy. You just say that you should stand up at this time, and it's not good to get close. It's time to keep your distance. Otherwise, when he becomes the prince, we will still be so close." He, others only think that he is still as sympathetic to everyone as he was back then, and they have no fear of him, and it is easy to have a lot of right and wrong."

Lao Jiu couldn't help his eyes light up when he heard that, "You mean to distance yourself from him now, find a high-sounding reason, and then slowly break away from him."

"Yes, he is in the limelight at this time. If you cut off the relationship with him with a knife, others will not say his fault. They will only say that you did something behind his back, or you will be here soon. It's time to share the spoils, how could someone else throw it away all of a sudden?"

"What about dividing the spoils? It's so ugly to say. But you said that this is indeed a solution. I didn't expect that your foolish old lady would have a very bright mind."

Jiufujin smiled triumphantly, "You just look down on me and call me an old woman every day. Let me tell you, you can only come to discuss things with me, an old lady. Why don't you share the dirt? The reward is to share the spoils! I won't talk to you Having said so much, I'm going to wash my face and change my clothes now, and I'm going to enter the palace later."

After settling a matter in his mind, Lao Jiu finally relaxed.Sitting on the kang, drank a bowl of tea, hummed a few little tunes, and under the service of the eunuch, changed into auspicious clothes, put on a winter hat, knocked on the sky outside, and went out with Jiufujin who had changed his clothes .

The first day of the Lunar New Year is the day when the honorable ministers of the capital pay homage.

When Lao Jiu and his wife came, there was already a
