Kangxi was in a very good mood.

The good news reported by the imperial hospital continued one after another, and Kangxi sent people to follow the woman who underwent caesarean section and her condition was stable.There was Concubine Tong in the front and this woman in the back. Kangxi couldn't help but realize that the prospect of this caesarean section might be very bright.

Just as Kangxi was thinking about it, the eunuch's announcement came from outside the door.It was rare for Yinzhen to come to the door by himself, Kangxi naturally had no intention of refusing, he stretched out his hand to signal Yinzhen who walked into the hall to come to him, intending to have an intimate father-son interaction with his four cubs.

Surprisingly, Yinzhen directly refused.

Not only that, he also greeted Ann with a serious face, and said solemnly after getting up: "Khan Ama, now is not the time to play, my son has something serious to tell you."

Kangxi was slightly taken aback.

Immediately afterwards, he suddenly realized: "Is it for opening a shop? Your mother-in-law's idea is very good. I have already ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to collect the list of palace personnel. When the time comes, I should hand it over to your mother-in-law for preparation."

"Ah—my son Xiehan Ama."

"Yeah, come here then?" Kangxi waved cheerfully, and smiled happily while hugging the blossoming Yinzhen.

Kiss and stick.

Yinzhen also welcomed Khan Ama's actions very much. The father and son, who were never tired of it, fiddled with each other for a long time, until Yinzhen bumped into Cao Yin's dead fish eyes, he regained his senses instantly.

Did I forget something! ?

Yinzhen raised his head suddenly, and slammed into Kangxi's chin hard and hard.Kangxi was indulging in father-son entertainment, the sudden heavy blow made him gasp, feeling a dull pain in his teeth and jaw, fortunately he didn't speak just now, otherwise his tongue might have been bitten!

Yinzhen covered his head.

Kangxi held his chin.

For a while, the atmosphere in the hall was extremely awkward.

Cao Yin and the palace people present lowered their heads in unison, trying to pretend that they did not exist.With a dark face, Kangxi stretched out his hand to pinch Yinzhen's cheek and said angrily, "What are you doing? If you change someone, I must think that you are planning to murder me!"

Yinzhen sniffled.

He quickly took out a large stack of papers from his pocket and pushed them down in front of Kangxi: "Khan Ama, now is not the time to talk about this! Take a look at this!"

Kangxi rubbed his chin and glanced at the paper.

As if a basin of ice water was poured on his head, Kangxi's face changed instantly.The thought of teasing Yinzhen disappeared in an instant, and he flipped through the stack of papers in front of him one by one.

Kangxi looked stern.

The more you look at the veins on his forehead, the more violent they become, and finally twisted like a ghost.Kangxi slammed his fists on the imperial case, and the eyes staring at Yinzhen lost their usual gentleness, and showed the cold aura of an emperor: "Xinzhen, what you wrote inside is all the truth!?"

"My minister brought Su Peisheng and Cao Shiwei to visit in person."

"...Cao Yin."

Cao Yin in the audience broke out in cold sweat.

He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly: "...Yes."

In an instant, the sky above the Forbidden City was shrouded in a dark cloud.

Obviously, when Yinzhen left the palace in the afternoon, it was still a rare good weather, but now the clouds are as thick as ink, and after a while, the wind is even more violent. The heavy dark clouds seem to be pressing on the hearts of many guards. They are looking at the stormy sky I couldn't help muttering and complaining: "Okay, why did you suddenly change your face and it's going to rain?"

Kangxi's eyes darkened.

He has regained his composure, and gently patted Yinzhen's head: "Leave this matter to Khan Ama, Yinzhen should go back and rest first——Ziqing, you stay."

Cao Yin responded respectfully.

After the fourth elder brother left, Kangxi said slowly: "Tell me the ins and outs of what happened when the fourth elder brother left the palace."

Thunder roared, lightning flashed.

The heavy rain was pouring down at this moment, Yinzhen rushed all the way into Chengqian Palace with his head in his arms, his whole body was still wet.Before he could say hello, Chang Lu came forward and covered Yin Zhen's head with a thick towel, wrapping the fourth elder brother tightly from head to toe.

Yinzhen didn't struggle either.

He shook his body hard like a puppy in the water trying to shake off the water droplets, but the surroundings screamed frequently.

There were too many and too many voices, which made Yinzhen a little confused. He poked his head out and was startled by the mighty group of people in the main hall.

The eyes are full of maids with strange faces.

They greeted in unison: "Slaves send greetings to the fourth elder brother." There were too many people, and this greeting was extraordinarily imposing.

Yinzhen was surprised.

He had never seen so many court ladies gathered together before, jumping back like a little squirrel with its hair blown up, looking around vigilantly.

The court ladies have all heard of the fourth elder brother.

It's just that the rumors of the reincarnation of the Buddha or the rebirth of Hua Tuo are really hard to connect with the curious baby-like fourth elder brother in front of him. The court ladies looked curiously at Yinzhen secretly. Glance after glance.

Chang Lu coughed.

The maids who were distracted remembered the serious business in front of them, and each of them hurriedly focused on the work in front of them again with serious expressions.

Following their gaze, Yinzhen finally discovered that these court ladies came here to learn how to make dim sum.Heaving a sigh of relief, he calmed down and immediately raised his head and chest. He walked between the tables with his hands behind his back and took small square steps, carefully observing the movements of the maids.

The maids were a little nervous.

The first batch of court ladies who came to Chengqian Palace to study were all once in the imperial dining room or small kitchen.They have neither a dazzling family background nor an outstanding appearance. They are the most likely group of court ladies who will be sent home from the palace. It can be said that the craftsmanship of becoming a royal concubine is the best way they can think of when they go to the employment shop outside the palace.

Everyone looked at the fourth elder brother with some trepidation.

Even though the fourth elder brother looks cute, everyone is worried, will we be expelled if the fourth elder brother is not satisfied...?Yinzhen didn't know what the maids were thinking, he sat excitedly at the round table, holding his face in anticipation.

Let Ben be the examiner!

Hehe, this way you can eat as much snacks as you want~ Thinking of this, there are little flowers blooming behind Yinzhen.

Concubine Tong's eyes were full of smiles.

She put down the teacup pretending to be puzzled, and asked warmly, "Yinzhen, why are you still here?"

Because I want to eat snacks!

Yinzhen rolled his eyes and pretended not to understand Er Niang, and said in a soft voice, "I don't want to go back to the room today, I want to stay with Er Niang." Don't try to steal.

A smile flashed across Concubine Tong's eyes.

She cupped her face and ouched: "But Er Niang is going back to the back hall to figure out the account book now, does Yinzhen also want to help? After all, Yinzhen said that he wants to stay with Er Niang, so he will definitely come to help, right? Bar?"

Yinzhen:…………

He looked at the half-made dim sum made by the maids, and then at the expectant mother-in-law, and only after a while did he reply reluctantly.Yinzhen jumped off the small bench dejectedly, and tugged at the corner of Concubine Tong's sleeve: "Emiang, let's go."

Concubine Tong covered her mouth: "Pfft!"

The familiar laughing voice made Yinzhen's blood pressure soar instantly, he jumped up and glared at Concubine Tong angrily: "Er Niang!!! You lied to me again!!!"

Imperial Concubine Tong: "Pfft ha ha ha ha ha, there's nothing Yinzhen can do if she's taken in as a mother!" She rubbed her stomach with a smile while swaying left and right to avoid Yinzhen's 'painful punch' attack, her crisp smile made the maids frown The restlessness disappeared a lot, and the stiff movements gradually recovered.

From the skill of kneading dough to the weight of ingredients, Chang Lu, as the first coach, carefully taught the many maids in front of him. After they finished the dim sum, they would try each other, and the best ones would be sent to the round table for the fourth elder brother taste.

Yinzhen's face was flushed.

He inserted a piece of glutinous rice cake with a small fork and stuffed it into his mouth. The fragrant red bean filling spread in his mouth, and the chewy glutinous rice rushed into his throat.

By controlling the quality, weight and skill of the raw materials, the delicacy of the pastries is absolutely extraordinary.Although it is not as good as the one made by Concubine Tonghuang, it is worthy of being a person who came out of the imperial dining room and the small kitchen. A few copies are faintly comparable to those made by Changlu.

Yinzhen ate to his satisfaction.

The maids were anxiously waiting for the notification, and when they received the news of the collective approval, they cheered in unison.

Of course, no matter how much you tried, Yin Zhen couldn't eat any more.He watched reluctantly as the snacks were put into the box and sent to the harem one by one. Concubine Tong patted Yinzhen on the head: "You eat some these days!"

you do not say?

Not to mention Yinzhen, even the concubines in the palace ate a lot of desserts for three days in a row. Even when they talked, they felt the aroma of red beans in their mouths, and the waist seemed to have a little more meat .

While the atmosphere in the harem was peaceful, the Qianqing Palace was shrouded in haze.The courtiers and clan members were anxious and knelt down to listen to Prince Yu Fuquan's report.

The head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Hai Laxun, was arrested in the middle of the night.

The whole family, including him, was arrested and imprisoned, waiting to be dealt with. The rest of the chiefs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not get any better. Either the whole family was imprisoned, or they were surrounded by officers and soldiers and they were waiting for the results of the investigation.

From the very beginning, Kangxi didn't think that a group of officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs would be clean, but after the looted property piled up in ten storerooms and had not been counted, he was already trembling with anger.

"In addition..." The Dali Temple official who was in charge of the interrogation was trembling all over, his teeth were chattering, and he hesitated to say anything.

Kangxi suppressed his impending rage.

He squeezed a word through his teeth coldly: "Say!"

Dali Temple official's throat rolled.

He took a deep breath and said what he found out: "Someone told me that the rockery in Xiyuan is all from Hebei."

Kangxi clenched his hands tightly.

The Dali Temple officials were still talking, the courtiers and officials in the temple looked ashen, and secretly scolded some people in the House of Internal Affairs for their audacity.

The fake rocks in Xiyuan are said to be sent from Suzhou, Jiangning and other places, and the transportation cost is 20 taels per stone.However, as far as Dali Temple is concerned, the stones that are placed in the Xiyuan are taken from the vicinity of the capital indiscriminately, while the fake rocks that have been transported with great effort from Suzhou, Jiangning and other places are in their own courtyard.

The Dali Temple officials fell to the ground after reporting.

All the officials in the hall looked down at their insteps, trying to express that they were just deaf and blind.

There was a loud bang in the hall.

Kangxi slammed his fist heavily on the imperial case, and then he swept his hands outward, sweeping all the things on the imperial case to the ground.Kangxi was furious, his eyes were red, and he flew into a rage: "Okay! What a guts! This is fooling me like a stupid donkey!"

Only Kangxi's heavy breathing echoed in the hall.

Kangxi didn't want to involve so much at the beginning, he just wanted to deal with a group of people to make an example of others.But what he never expected was that the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were all from a family background, and their relatives were intertwined. After digging, they found a lot of them, and each one was more greedy than the other, and each was more greedy than the other!

Kangxi glanced at the officials present with a dark complexion.

Don't think that he doesn't know that nine out of ten of the Eight Banners nobles have wives and concubines who were born in Baoyi, and most of them came from aristocratic families in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Let them check?hehe!

From the San Francisco Rebellion, the Taiwan War to the present Northwest War, am I being too contemptuous of things in the capital?Kangxi's face was cold and stern, his knuckles tapped lightly on the table, and he said in a deep voice: "Prince Yu, Prince Gong, Prince Kang and Prince An are here to stay. Liang Jiugong took people to invite you all to rest in Chongwen Hall. not to deviate from his will."

The courtiers and clan were silent.

No one dared to express their opinions at this time, so they quietly withdrew their heads.

There are only four princes left in the hall.

Kangxi turned his head and told Liang Jiugong: "Let the prince, elder brother, third elder brother, and fourth elder brother go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

This battle of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is intensifying.

The elder brothers in the study room lost their minds and whispered about the investigation by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.The sixth elder brother Yinzuo is pulling Yinzhen to complain: "Fourth brother, do you know? People from the Ministry of Internal Affairs actually said that the small wooden horse costs 100 taels, which is worth more than half of Master Tang!"

Since knowing that Master Tang’s annual salary is 130 taels, in the eyes of the fifth elder brother and the sixth elder brother, the counting unit has been changed to Master Tang. As for Master Tang, what does Tang Bin think...?Look at his distorted face, wanting to complain but not knowing how to complain, and you can know the grievance in Tang Bin's heart.

"Yeah, it's outrageous!"

"That's it!"

The little Trojan horse also costs 100 taels?

Yinzhen complained: "Whether you can use one tael of silver is a question, and you need 100 taels? Then the slide must be 500 taels."

The sixth elder brother Yinzuo gave a thumbs up.

The fifth elder brother Yinqi shook his head straight: "The fourth brother guessed really accurately, and really memorized 500 taels for the slide."

Yinzhen: "...you really dare to write!?"

On the other hand, the big elder brother Yinti is also brooding. He went out of the palace several times thinking about a lot of snacks outside, but the Ministry of Internal Affairs gave him ten times and a hundred times. It's just... just...

"How dare you treat elder brother Ben as a fool."

Yinti's face was dark, and he was clenching his fists.If those criminals from the Ministry of Internal Affairs fall into my hands, ha ha!He had to beat them up.

There is also the third elder brother Yinzhi.

He was wringing his fingers and counting the small money he lost - he finally saved some private money and gave it to Yinzhen, but he didn't expect that these slaves would dare to pick up the skin layer by layer, it can be said to be extremely abominable!How much of his hard-earned money was embezzled in it! ?

When the news of Kangxi reached the upper study room, the elder brothers were all filled with righteous indignation and rushed towards the House of Internal Affairs aggressively.

At the moment they have the same belief in their minds.

That is - the Ministry of Internal Affairs pays back the money! ! !
