Four elder brothers take the script of salted fish

I also said before that the Ningshou Palace Park is vast.

It is obviously too exaggerated to use all of them for farming, and I am afraid that hundreds of tenants will be needed to carry out.Not to mention whether so many tenants can settle in the imperial city, even the Ministry of Internal Affairs can't get so many people to work.The Minister of Construction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs pondered for several days, and finally handed in an answer sheet.

The front part of the Ningshou Palace remains largely intact and has been renovated as a resting palace for the imperial concubine and others, while the rear part of the palace collapsed more seriously and was cleaned up, and the soil was laid and changed to farmland. Finally, some running water was added near the Zhenshun Gate. The scenery is used for walking by the imperial concubine and others after farming.

Concubine Tong looked at the design drawing carefully.

Even if new palaces have been added before and after, the remaining land for farmland is vast.Imperial Concubine Tong simply circled two more places on the paper as a place to raise livestock. It just happened that the fifth elder brother's little falcon, Yinzhen's puppy Baifu, and many pets in the palace also came here for a walk and dance. .

After adding and subtracting, Concubine Tong Huanggui returned the drawings to the construction department doctor.Construction Secretary Lang Zhong was promoted after the last Ministry of Internal Affairs case. His face was full of nervousness, fearing that he would cause trouble if he did something wrong.

Of course, it will take three to four months to complete the construction of the entire Ningshou Palace, and it is estimated that it will be available in the spring of next year. Before that, Concubine Tong Huang Guifei will continue to use small flower pots to grow vegetables.

But the one who lost the most was Yin Qi.

He is holding his own three-piece mini shovel set, and every day he goes to the construction site of Ningshou Palace to check on the progress. Seeing his pitiful appearance, he can't help hugging and teasing him a little bit.

Concubine Yi feels a headache when she looks at Yin Qi.

She asked someone to bring her son to Yikun Palace, pointing to the paper and asked: "Why did you get a good grade in the exam? The third elder brother and the fourth elder brother all got A when they first entered! And this Manchu schoolwork , actually got a pass?"

Excellent, good, qualified, poor.

The fourth-class result, the fifth elder brother, actually only got the good and the pass?Concubine Yi nagged with a straight face: "You still have the mind to play? Go back to Yikun Palace to study after class!"

Yin Qi immediately withered.

He looked at Concubine Yi pitifully, trying to escape the catastrophe by acting cute.

It's a pity that Concubine Yi doesn't like Yinqi.

She grabbed Yinqi's ear and kept chanting: "You little fool, you little fool! Look at the third elder brother and the fourth elder brother who have done things for the emperor now, and their names are on the court hall in the palace, and what about you? I also go to the construction site to play and make trouble every day, so I might as well memorize two more books if I have this spare time, you know?!"

"My son can't carry it in..."

"The third elder brother can recite it, the fourth elder brother can recite it, even the sixth elder brother can recite it, why can't it be your turn?" Yi Fei asked with a serious face.

Others do not say.

Yinzuo, the sixth elder brother born by Concubine De, also performed well in the Enlightenment Academy and was frequently praised by the emperor.There were four elder brothers in the front and sixth elder brothers in the back. Even if the fourth elder brother got close to Concubine Tonghuang, Concubine Yi would secretly envy her.

Look at your little idiot again.

Concubine Yi was even more angry from one place, she gritted her teeth and said, "Huh? You want to give me a reason?"

"Er Niang, you have given your reasons!"

"...?"

"Your servant is stupid!" Fifth elder brother Yinqi showed a bright smile, his innocent appearance almost made Concubine Yi faint from anger.His eyes were shining, and he said seriously: "I am indeed not very good at reading, and the second elder brother of the prince also said that my lack of talent can be made up for by hard work, so I thought about farming to understand the affairs of the field. "

"Hehe." Concubine Yi sneered.

She looked at the majestic Yin Qi, and asked in a deep voice, "Actually?"

"... Farming is fun." Yin Qi stuck out his tongue.

He hugged Yifei's arm and acted coquettishly: "Those articles and so on, I feel dizzy when I read those articles!"

"As a prince, how can you not study?"

"I'm reading it, but I can't read it well enough." Yin Qi replied frankly, "I feel dizzy just looking at those economical poems and so on. It's better to have fun with those miscellaneous strange talks!"

Although Yinqi is young, he speaks eloquently, and looks very clever.But the more this is the case, the more Concubine Yi is speechless——it would be a good thing if your cleverness can be used for reading, but you still feel dizzy when you read for yourself!

Yi Fei's forehead twitched.

She wished she hadn't heard what her son said—yes!I just didn't hear it!Concubine Yi sullenly grabbed Yin Qi by the ear and carried him into the study to read.

She couldn't believe it.

Forced like this, with him staring at him, can Yin Qi still read this book well?

Concubine Yi couldn't hide the matter of urging Brother Fifth to study.

Yinzhen and the third elder brother Yinzhi came to the door again and again, saying that if the fifth brother wanted tutoring, they could help.Concubine Yi declined the help of the two: "You can't rely on others to study, you need Yinqi to develop the habit of studying hard. Besides, the two elder brothers have a lot of studies, so I won't bother you two to help .”

The word reached Tong Huanggui Concubine.

She couldn't help but raised her eyebrows and sighed: "Concubine Yi has gotten into a dead end!"

Aunt Bian Jia laughed mockingly.

She looked a little gloating: "It can be seen that Yifei Empress was too smooth before."

Concubine Yi took the role of concubine in the month she entered the palace, and then the concubine and concubine were conferred smoothly, that is, the emperor lived in Concubine Yi's natal family when he was touring Shengjing, and called her family members as concubines and relatives. This treatment in the palace can be described as is unique.

It's just that the palace was busy in the previous dynasty, and the strong reaction of Yikun Palace when the fourth elder brother was researching cowpox—even if the cause was from Guo Guiren, the weak relationship of the eleventh elder brother who had died still couldn't hold up Concubine Yi's position in the emperor. The impression in my heart fell again and again.

As one of the four concubines, no one in the palace would dare to treat Concubine Yi harshly.

It's just that the disappearance of the extra invisible benefits in the past is enough to make Yifei feel uncomfortable.Unable to start with herself, and unwilling to take advantage of those little concubines, Concubine Yi could only turn her attention to fifth elder brother and ninth elder brother.

And the latter is still young.

Concubine Yi can only urge Yin Qi desperately, trying to make him stand out academically, and come back with the title of genius.

Yinzhen rested his cheeks angrily.

He picked up a piece of hot mutton from the pot with his chopsticks, and stuffed it into his mouth in one gulp.While chewing, Yinzhen complained: "But the fifth brother doesn't seem to like it at all, the dark circles under his eyes have been dark for the past two days, and he fell asleep on the table after class... If it happens What should I do if I’m sick? There’s been a lot of fuss about newspapers lately, Khan Ama hasn’t come to the upper study for a long time, and I don’t even have a chance to say a word for my fifth brother.”

Concubine Tong frowned slightly.

This is a problem?But if he questioned the empress dowager or the emperor, he might be treated as a villain by Concubine Yi again.She thought about it, and then told Yinzhen: "I remember that the day before the winter solstice is your big exam?"

"Well, it's going to be a holiday later."

"After the exam is over, invite the crown prince and a few elder brothers to the Palace of Compassion, and say it's an early holiday gathering and family dinner! Er Niang will explain this to the Empress Dowager herself."

The winter solstice is one of the three major festivals of the Qing Dynasty, and the busyness of the day should not be underestimated.Even if it is a palace banquet at night, it is difficult for the emperor to participate in it. After all, he has to receive envoys from various countries from morning till night, and he has to hold a banquet with the officials and clans of the previous dynasty. Concubine Tong Huang Guifei held a small family banquet one day in advance , by the way, the idea of ​​celebrating the official vacation of the elder brothers was quickly recognized.

The so-called winter solstice wonton and summer solstice noodles.

Early in the morning on the day of the winter solstice, Imperial Concubine Tong hurried to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to start preparations for a feast.There were also four princesses helping out, and even the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager rarely became interested.A group of people gathered around the table, watching Concubine Tong's quick movements.

This time, Concubine Tong did not make wontons that are popular in the north, but rather crepe wontons with a Jiangnan style.The dough is kneaded with egg whites, green shrimps, fat and thin black pork, mixed with the prepared green onion and ginger water to make a sticky filling, and then randomly kneaded into small wontons of various shapes.

The teaching has come to an end.

Compared with the simple but smooth movements of Concubine Tong, the four princesses are like flying dogs and jumping. In the end, even the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager couldn't stand it, so they joined in one by two.

The concubines also came after hearing the news.

Concubine De and Concubine Rong came first, followed by Concubine Niu Colu with Concubine Hui and Concubine Yi, nobleman Wei and nobleman Cheng hurried over.

A group of people gathered together to make wontons together.

In a trance, the concubines couldn't help but think back to the rabbit meat banquet gathered in Chengqian Palace two years ago, when everyone laughed happily, especially Concubine Niu Colu and Concubine Yi had mixed feelings for a while.

It's only been two years, and the relationship between everyone has undergone many changes.The movements of their hands paused, and after a long silence, smiles appeared on their faces, and they rejoined the conversation as if nothing had happened.

With the joint efforts of so many people, the round table of the Compassionate Ning Palace was quickly filled with wontons of various shapes.This is not over yet. Apart from wontons, Imperial Concubine Tong also prepared dumplings, rice cakes, glutinous rice balls, flower cakes, and sweet white wine. Finally, she prepared hot mutton pot bottoms and various dishes. Today's family banquet is ready.

From north to south, there is something for every taste.

After all the preparations are completed, we are waiting for the arrival of the emperor, prince and brothers.

It's just that everyone's eagerly waiting for the emperor, prince and elder brothers to come, they waited for a bad news first—the fifth elder brother Yin Qi fainted in the upper study room!

Concubine Yi was killed by lightning.

She stood up abruptly and ran out. If Concubine Tong Huanggui hadn't asked someone to hold her back, she might have rushed straight to the study room!

Also worried are the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager.

You must know that the fifth elder brother Yinqi grew up in the Compassionate Ning Palace when he was young, and was brought up by the two of them.The Empress Dowager twirled the prayer beads on her wrist, forcing Su Mala to quickly ask what happened.

Su Mala will be back soon.

Immediately behind him were Kangxi who was holding Yinqi in his hands, the crown prince and a group of older brothers, the empress dowager and the empress dowager rushed forward to look at Yinqi who was pale and dark-eyed: "Yinqi What's going on here?"

"The imperial doctor said that he was exhausted and overly tired. He needs to rest for three to five days." Kangxi's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he looked up at Concubine Yi displeasedly: "Concubine Yi, I know what you expect of Yinqi." It’s very big, but he’s only a five-year-old child after all, why do you—”

After all, Concubine Yi is the woman he has loved for many years.

Even if he was a little confused recently, Kangxi couldn't say a few harsh words. He shook his head and sighed, and walked straight to the wing of the Palace of Compassion, but he didn't know that his hesitant attitude made Concubine Yi suffer even more. torment.

Yifei felt her face was burning hot.

She felt the blood surge in her chest, and her eyes were burning.Concubine Yi suppressed her tears, and hastily followed the emperor and his party into the wing room—the most important thing now is Yinqi, Yinqi.

Yin Qi must be fine!

Looking at the back of Concubine Yi who seemed to have aged ten years in an instant, the remaining concubines looked at each other in blank dismay, alarm bells sounded in each of them.

Concubine Rong, who was proud of the spring breeze, felt even more tense.

The third elder brother Yinzhi has been very popular with the emperor's eyes recently, so she has a lot of expectations and desires in her heart.Just looking at Yifei's decadent appearance, the cowardly Concubine Rong's fluttering dissipated immediately!

With the wind?Fly what?

How promising Yin Zhi can be is all due to his ability, as long as he, a mother-in-law, doesn't hold back!
