The fourteenth blessing of the koi carp in the Qing Dynasty

Sure enough, she took her children and a bunch of postings to Yonghe Palace in the afternoon, and she went there on a whim. Concubine De of Yonghe Palace had just had a lunch break and was in high spirits.Hearing the report that she was coming, Concubine De smiled to Nanny Wu: "I guess this girl must have encountered some kind of problem." She wouldn't enter the palace in the afternoon if it wasn't for something.

Grandma Wu also laughed, "Fu Jin is still young." She knew that the empress didn't mean to be angry, on the contrary she was very happy.

When the two came out, Foer Guochun was asking the maid to bring her some snacks.

Concubine De pointed at her and said to Nanny Wu: "Look at her, she is not polite at all, she really regards this place as her own home."

Foer Guochun turned his head when he heard the voice, and walked over quickly, "Look at what Er Niang said, whoever we are with whom, isn't your territory my home. I still need to be polite in my own home."

Concubine De couldn't hold back her teased face, she stretched out her hand and nodded Foer Guochun's head, "I said you are fat and you are still out of breath. Tell me, what do you want to do with Er Niang."

Flattering Concubine De, Foer Guochun took the invitations, "Sure enough, you can't hide anything from Er Niang, look, Er Niang," she handed the invitations to Concubine De, Concubine De took it in doubt.

The invitations are arranged according to family background, and the top one is a thick pile of those belonging to the families of the iron hat princes.She flipped through it briefly, and found that many invitations were on the same day, even though they used different reasons, at the same time, they could only go to one.

"Emiang, my daughter-in-law has checked, and the people who received these invitations are training with our grandfather. What do you think they mean?"

What do you mean, Concubine De sneered, it was nothing more than coercion and temptation.Is this to make Fourteen make a mistake?

Throwing away the post in her hand, Concubine De had no expression on her face. It should be said that she is indeed a mother and son, she really looks like Shisi in this way.

"What are you going to do?"

Foer Guochun told Concubine De what she thought, "My daughter-in-law naturally doesn't want to go to the appointment. I'm just worried that if I don't go, I will offend them and cause trouble for Fourteen. But if I go, I'm worried that I won't know I feel like I’ve been tricked.” In short, going or not going may give them a bad impression of Shishi, and blow the pillow wind to make Shishi trip up.

Concubine De tapped on the chair lightly with her fingers, glanced at the invitations, and then came up with an idea. "Leave this matter alone, just leave it to me." In terms of caution, no one can compare with Concubine De, especially after Lady Liang was gifted to death.Others don't know how nobleman Liang died, but they can't hide it from Concubine De.

This matter is related to her favorite fourteenth, Defei is naturally willing to give Foer Guochun a head start.

"Daughter-in-law, thank you, Erniang. Erniang, tomorrow my daughter-in-law will bring you rice balls made of wine when she enters the palace." Foerguo Chun Mansion made delicious food, and sometimes it would be brought to Concubine De, who had eaten it a few times , the highest evaluation of Jiuniangzi.

The master chef in her mansion has high requirements for fermented wine, so she can't easily make this dish, not to mention Concubine De, Fol Guochun doesn't eat it very often.Now she actually promised Concubine De this dish, De Fei happily pointed at her and laughed, "See, you won't even bribe, learn from Foer Guochun in the future."

"Who is going to bribe my concubine, let me see it too?" Kangxi walked in quickly.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were slightly taken aback, then stood up and saluted.Today's Kangxi is really elusive, and he doesn't like to be informed. Fortunately, the two of them didn't say anything presumptuous, otherwise they don't know how it will end.

Kangxi sat on the seat where Concubine De was sitting before, "Get up, Concubine Concubine, tell me who is going to bribe you, I'll show you if this bribe is worth Concubine De's work for her." He also read Fur Guochun took a look.

In fact, he had already heard Fol Guochun's voice outside just now, and he was always curious about how the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law got along so well.

Last time he and Yinzhen enjoyed an ordinary father-son relationship, which made him feel strange.Hearing that Foer Guochun was back, he came from the Hall of Mental Cultivation without even thinking about it.

Concubine De saw that Kangxi was in a good mood and asked exactly what she planned to talk about at night, so naturally she would not give up this opportunity.Pointing at Foer Guochun, "Your majesty, you came at a good time. The fourteen family members are undecided about going to the palace to find a concubine. She said that if the concubine can do it for her, she will bring the concubine rice balls made of wine. I would like to have a meal together." Send my concubine to advise her, she is beautiful."

"Er Niang is used to wronging people. Don't you want to eat it yourself? My daughter-in-law remembers that Er Niang has nagged about it many times, but the old master in our house is very particular, and we are not allowed to eat the wine when it is not ready. Look, Ama, this wine It's almost time, and my daughter-in-law rushed to send it to Er Niang, but it's too hurtful for Er Niang to miss her daughter-in-law like this."

As he spoke, he deliberately covered his eyes with a handkerchief and hummed twice.

Rice balls?He had eaten this before, but thinking about the meal he ate at the Fourteenth Mansion last time, he immediately salivated.He pretended to think, "How about this, you bring your fermented rice balls, I'll try it, it's well done, I don't need your mother-in-law's help, I'll take care of your business for you."

What could happen to the woman in the back house, Kangxi agreed without thinking about it.

Foer Guochun crawled along the pole, picked up the stack of invitations next to him, "Daughter-in-law, thank you Khan Ama. This is what happened to Khan Ama. My daughter-in-law received a lot of invitations yesterday, but there are a few collisions today. Well, my daughter-in-law is really embarrassed and doesn't know which house to go to, if you are willing to show me, my daughter-in-law will be very grateful."

"It's not just the daughter-in-law, but also the nine sisters-in-law and the tenth sister-in-law. Originally, the daughter-in-law planned to push them away because they thought the children were too young to be separated from each other. At that time, even if they were unhappy, they couldn't blame the daughter-in-law. That's right, it's the tenth sister-in-law,"

Carefully looking up at Kangxi, and seeing his gaze on these invitations, Foer Guochun continued: "You also know that tenth sister-in-law rarely goes out to socialize because she is not familiar with Manchu, so I asked my daughter-in-law, Let the daughter-in-law go with her."

Both she and Sister-in-law Nine had legitimate reasons to push the invitation, what about Sister-in-law Ten?

"The three of you have a good relationship." Lao Jiu and his three brothers have a good relationship, and they even have a good relationship with Fujin.Li Dequan also said yesterday that all three of them were in Lao Jiu's mansion when he sent someone to give the reward.At that time, Li Dequan mentioned "invitation card", which is what he thought he was referring to.

Putting the invitation on the table casually, Kangxi turned the wrench on the thumb of his right hand with his left hand. There were several iron hats on the invitation in the prince's mansion, as well as other princes, county kings, and dukes, so it was really hard to refuse.

Looking at these familiar names, Kangxi knew why they sent invitations to the three of them.

After turning around for a while, Kangxi said: "I remember that there are two plants of Yao Huang Wei Zi in the imperial garden that are blooming well. They are not here to enjoy the flowers. Concubine De, you and Concubine Yi can choose a good day to invite these Fujins to the palace, let them Let’s get together.” Invite everyone at once, so there is no one who looks down on anyone.

"I still have a few catties of good tea in my private treasury, and I will also send them to you at that time." Enjoying flowers and drinking tea are also a lot.

How could Foer Guochun not understand what the emperor meant, she looked up in surprise, "Daughter-in-law, thank you Khan Ama. If Khan Ama doesn't dislike it, tomorrow daughter-in-law will ask the cook in the house to cook a few more dishes for you?"

Concealing the surprise on his face, he coughed lightly, "Is there anything in my palace, what dish is missing for you? Let the cook in your house make whatever Yipin Guo, Dongpo elbow, preserved pork with pickled vegetables, three sets of duck , and your fermented rice balls."

Foer Guochun: It was agreed that there is no shortage of her dish, so it's good to start ordering directly.

She had to admit that compared to the previous Kangxi who doubted this and that, this awkward Kangxi is much easier to get along with now.

"Daughter-in-law leads the order, where should the daughter-in-law go back to the house now and let them prepare it?" If you want to prepare the meal before tomorrow's lunch, you have to prepare everything today.

Kangxi also knew that the Imperial Dining Room had made plans for tomorrow, so he didn't keep anyone, and dismissed them with a wave of his hand.

Concubine De looked at Kangxi curiously, "The emperor is in a good mood today?" She has been in the palace for so many years, and this is the first time she has seen the emperor let the cook in his son's house cook without politeness.

Interested?That's not all, the main reason is that the chef in Yinzhen's mansion cooks dishes that suit his appetite, and he never forgets after eating it once.He also knew that the minds of the sons in the court were floating, Yinzhen was good, and he didn't want to bring him into this vortex at this time, so even if he wanted to eat, he never went to his house again.

The few dishes he mentioned above were all mentioned by Yinzhen to him that day. After he returned to the palace, he also asked the imperial dining room. They would also cook three sets of ducks, but he didn't know what it was.Kangxi had eaten three sets of ducks from the Imperial Dining Room, and now he wanted to see what the people from the Fourteenth House tasted like.

Besides this invitation, he could see things that Concubine De could see.He can understand the embarrassment of the fourteen families. They are all relatives with higher seniority than them, so it is not good to choose anyone.He simply decided for his three sons, "You and Concubine Yi should handle the matter of viewing flowers well. They all made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty. I understand their feelings. As long as it's not too much, let them do it." .”

Concubine De's face was unnatural for a moment, what do you mean by "not too much words", there are a lot of cursing words around the corner, is this considered too much, should I care about it?

"Your Majesty, the person who tied the bell has to be untied. The concubines say something presumptuous, and they are all mothers. I can understand how they are worried about their sons. If it is possible, let them write a letter to say that they are safe, no need to say much." Well, don't say 'that's enough."

Isn't it just that she is worried that her son will abuse them, and let their son say no to it.It's impossible that my own son doesn't believe it either.

Kangxi snorted coldly, "It's not a baby who hasn't been weaned yet. None of my sons have ever left home, and I haven't seen anyone like them." If you don't have the skills, you know how to cause trouble for him.

Concubine De smiled and stood beside him without speaking.

After the emperor left, she discussed with Concubine Yi about the flower viewing banquet. At this time, Concubine Yi didn't know that her daughter-in-law was being targeted by those Fujin who had nothing to do.

"It's really unreasonable. Is it easy for Lao Jiu? Ah, I can't stop talking about this shit. I have to show them some color." Concubine Yi has two sons. Only this one was born by Dong E.Now Dong Eshi is finally pregnant again, and she looks forward to giving birth to a healthy little elder brother every day.

This group of people is good. Concubine Yi won't be angry if she troubles Dong E's family at this time?She didn't care if these people were trying to curry favor with Dong E, she only knew that her daughter-in-law was in trouble.

Putting down the teacup, Concubine De looked at Concubine Yi who was burning with anger, "Sister, what good idea do you have?" She and Concubine Yi are now regarded as grasshoppers on the same rope, so naturally they have to advance and retreat together, not to mention that this matter is still in the hands of the emperor. Those who passed Minglu over there said, 'As long as it's not too much, it's fine'.

Concubine Yi pursed her lips and smiled, "My temper-tempered elder sister also saw it, didn't they want to enjoy the flowers, so let them enjoy as much as they want." The elderly old Prince Fujin didn't move her, and she couldn't touch their daughter-in-law, daughter, or granddaughter?

The two of them were not good at dealing with each other, and after muttering to each other all afternoon, they finally settled on the matter of the flower viewing feast.

Concubine De and Concubine Yi held a flower appreciation feast in the Imperial Garden three days later, and all family members above rank four received invitations, even those old princes Fujin were no exception.

"Emiang, what's going on? Why did the good-looking Concubine De and Concubine Yi send invitations to our family?" These two people are notoriously at odds, why are they united today?Besides, the destination is the Imperial Garden, and it is clear that the emperor acquiesced in this matter.

"It's bad. It is estimated that the matter of us sending invitations to the three princes Fujin was found out by the two empresses. The empresses must have misunderstood."

"Then what should we do? We just want to get close to Prince Fujin, but we never thought of embarrassing them."

"I hope the ladies don't get too angry, my son will be participating in the draft next year."

Anyone who received the invitation could not escape the conversation above. Those with high status still had some confidence to hold on, while those with low status were panicked.

However, no matter whether they are stable or not, this flower viewing feast must be attended.

Shi Fujin shook the post in his hand, "Is this your idea?"

Foer Guochun looked up, "This is what Khan Ama meant." Of course it was the result she wanted most.

Khan Ama supported her, and Foer Guochun didn't break his promise. Seeing that the weather was getting better, he asked the kitchen to prepare meals.She didn't ask anyone to prepare too much, so she only cooked a few dishes ordered by the emperor, and added a hot and sour potato shreds and fried bean sprouts.

If you are tired of eating meat, some hot and sour vegetarian dishes can also change your taste.

Although there were only a few dishes, the portions were not small, she estimated that it would be enough for two people.

"Are you planning to take it to the palace?" Jiu Fujin said incredulously when he saw her packing the food box.Who doesn't know how strict the rules are in the palace, especially when it comes to food, the strictest checks.In order to avoid suspicion, she never sent food to the palace.

Brought over the two or three sets of ducks that the kitchen specially asked to make more, Foer Guochun said: "This was ordered by Khan Ama himself yesterday, otherwise, why do you think Khan Ama would be kind enough to help?" Blinking, it means look at me, how much I have sacrificed for our future clean life.

Rolling eyes at Foer Guochun, the two Fujins ordered the three sets of ducks to be packed, turned around and left.

Foer Guochun shrugged, not surprised by the expressions of the two.

She arrived just in time, just in time for lunch.I thought it would be nice to see Kangxi at this time, but I didn't expect Concubine Yi to be there too.

"Greetings to Empress Yifei."

Concubine Yi smiled and lifted her up, "I heard Sister De Concubine said yesterday that you made the emperor open his mouth with just a few dishes. I'm greedy, so I just wanted to come over and see what dishes the emperor can't forget. You won't Don't welcome me." He winked at her as he spoke.

The more she gets along with her, the more jealous she is of Concubine De. Foer Guochun is really good at everything, but she is not lucky. If Eleven is still there, she might be able to compete.

"Your Majesty, what are you talking about? It's a blessing for you to have a taste of it." In terms of temperament, Foer Guochun is like Yifei, and no one needs to guess what to say.

Concubine Yi turned her head to look at Concubine De, "Look, this little mouth must have been smeared with honey, I wonder why sister De Concubine looks younger, now I understand." She took Fo Er Guochun's hand , "Why don't you go to Yikun Palace with me, and we will have the right temper."

"That's not going to work. If I go to Yikun Palace and don't say whether Er Niang will miss me, even Ninth Sister and Fifth Sister-in-law will not agree."

Concubine De came down and took Foer Guochun's hand, hiding him behind her back, "That's right, you have two daughters-in-law, why are you trying to rob me?"

Deliberately wiping the non-existent tears with a handkerchief, Concubine Yi walked up to Kangxi and said sadly: "Your Majesty, look, their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are fighting together to bully my concubine."

It was rare that Kangxi was willing to cooperate with them in acting, so he spread his hands, "Then what should I do, my beloved concubine? I can't be this villain and break up other people's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, right?" After saying this, he couldn't help laughing himself.

"Your Majesty." The word "Emperor" was yelled by Concubine Yi in twists and turns.

While laughing, Li Dequan came over with the inspected food box.

Foer Guochun stepped forward with a smile, "Khan Ama, my daughter-in-law decided on her own initiative, and made two extra vegetarian dishes for you, as well as a duck blood vermicelli soup." Looking at Concubine Yi who was sitting on the right side of Kangxi, she blinked. Blinking, "Now it seems that the daughter-in-law still has the foresight."

Concubine Yi couldn't help laughing, she raised her finger and pointed at Foer Guochun, "I understand, you dislike me for coming here uninvited, and deliberately made me laugh, right? Hmph, today, I It's not as good as you want." Concubine Yi was originally bright and flamboyant, she tilted her head slightly when she said this, Kangxi was stunned for a moment.

After introducing these dishes, Foer Guochun walked behind Concubine De to serve Concubine De's meal, Concubine De subconsciously stretched out her hand and pulled her to sit down, only then did she realize that the emperor was there.

Kangxi pointed at Foer Guochun, "The fourteen family members should also sit down, they are not outsiders."

"Thank you Khan Ama." After thanking her, she sat down on Defei's lower head.

She was the only junior at the table, and Foer Guochun couldn't just eat by herself, she would occasionally serve food for the three of them.Kangxi had been served by his son and concubine before, but it was the first time for a daughter-in-law like this to serve him.

Well, very fresh.

He suddenly thought of what Yinzhen said before, that in ordinary people's daily meals, the whole family sits at the same table, regardless of gender, everyone eats together.

He wanted to try it a little bit, but then he thought that he had many sons, there were more than a dozen of them not too young, and his daughter-in-law couldn't sit at the same table, so he could only regretfully give up this idea.
