[Qing Chuan] The daily life of the seven princes

When Yinyou closed the book and raised his head, Nalan was still reading with his head down, word by word.Although there was no pause during the period, Yinyou could tell that he was a little absent-minded.

It wasn't until Yinyou stared at him for a long time that he realized that the students didn't listen.

When Nalan raised his head, his face was still blank.

Yinyou saw the circle of bruises under his eyes, and asked, "Rong Ruo, did you not rest well last night?"

Nalan shook his head, then nodded again: "A little bit."

"Then let's not give lectures today." The little guy grabbed the folding fan that was put aside, "It's too hot."

Nalan closed the book, looked at him tenderly, and said apologetically, "Why don't you ask Mr. Fu to explain "Zhuangzi" to you."

"Rong Ruo." Yinyou had already walked up to him, holding a folding fan in his hand.He waved his fan and walked with the demeanor of a handsome young man.It's just that the fan is a bit too big, and the other person is too small, and the hands are also small, which looks somewhat funny.

"You seem to have something on your mind."

Nalan looked at him, still smiling softly: "No, I just... I just read late last night and didn't have a good rest."

Yinyou can see that he is perfunctory, but he will never force others to say things that others are unwilling to say.

Yinyou turned his head and saw Cao Yan standing aside, bowed his head and said nothing.

"Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu!"

"..."

Yinyou sighed, put three chairs by the window, pulled Rong Ruo and Cao Yan to sit down, and listened to the cicadas outside the window in a daze.

Maybe there is really a saying that the mind is calm and cool naturally, after doing this for a while, Yinyou is not so hot anymore.

After an unknown amount of time, Nalan and Cao Yan heard slight, even breathing sounds at the same time. Looking back, Brother Qi tilted his head, closed his eyes, and fell asleep leaning on the chair.

Nalan laughed, it seemed that he was not the only one who didn't sleep well last night.

When it was time for get out of class to end, Zhao Cheng came in from outside: "Brother Seven, it's time for lunch."

Just as Cao Yan raised his finger and was about to make a quiet gesture, Yinyou woke up with a start.Sitting up, he looked blankly at the people in front of him, and then took Nalan's hand: "Rong Ruo, stay and have lunch together."

Nalan shook his head and patted his face: "I still have something to do in the Imperial Academy, I have to go back first."

Yinyou took his hand, reluctant to let go: "You..."

Yinyou bit his lower lip, he seemed to see Rong Ruo a few years ago again, that noble son full of melancholy and sadness.

"What's wrong?" Nalan looked at him patiently.

"Don't be unhappy, I will protect you."

He didn't know what happened, but he could feel a trace of worry and fear in Nalan's emotions.

Although he didn't know where this worry and fear came from, Nalan was his teacher, and he wanted to let Nalan know that he would protect him.

Just this one sentence almost made Nalan cry. He squatted beside Yinyou and hugged him: "You don't know anything, so you just said you want to protect me."

"Yeah!" The little guy nodded vigorously, "I won't let others bully you!"

Nalan left afterward, braving the most vicious sun at noon.

Yinyou grabbed the oil-paper umbrella and rushed out, Nalan looked at him in surprise: "It should...it won't rain."

Yinyou grinned at him, "I asked you to cover the sun."

Nalan walked two steps, turned his head again, saw Yinyou was still standing at the door, and waved to him again: "Go back quickly, be careful of heatstroke."

During the meal, Cao Yan was dragged by Yinyou to sit at the table together.

Yinyou has three haha ​​beads, namely his cousin Shun Anyan, cousin Fu Dun and Cao Yan.He is very good to the three of them, eating together, playing together, reading together, and sometimes even leaving them to sleep together...

When eating, Yinyou occasionally glanced over at Cao Yan, and saw that he kept his head buried, pushing rice into his mouth.

Yinyou picked a piece of braised pork for him, Cao Yan ate it without raising his head, and Cao Yan gave him another piece of cabbage with chopsticks, but he still ate it in silence.

After lunch, I rested for a while and came to the study again.Mr. Fu saw that he was not in the mood to study, so he asked him to practice calligraphy for a while, saying that his calligraphy structure today was fragmented and he was impatient, so stop practicing.

Yinyou loves to hear the words "don't practice" the most, so he immediately dropped his pen and said again: "Okay!"

Since there is no need to practice calligraphy or study, Yinyou's one-day study is over.

By this time, it was already evening.The heat outside was blown by the wind on the lake, dissipating a lot.

His haha ​​bead can also leave the palace and go home, and wait until the next rotation.

But Yinyou called Cao Yan several times, and the boy stood in a daze in the corner, looking preoccupied.

"Xiaoyu!" Yinyou leaned close to his ear and shouted.

Only then did Cao Yan turn around: "Seventh Brother..."

Yinyou said: "You can go home now."

Cao Yan shook her head: "I, I... I'll stay with you for a while."

Yinyou asked him: "Don't you want to go home?"

Cao Yan shook her head, neither said she thought about it nor said she didn't want to.

Yinyou had no choice but to push him away: "Then let's go for a walk by the lake."

He said to go for a walk, but Cao Yan didn't dare to refuse, so he followed him.

The two walked slowly along the lake. Yinyou held a willow stick in his hand and swept it on the stones by the lake. After a while, all the leaves on the willow stick fell off, leaving only a bare section.

Yinyou turned his head and looked at Cao Yan: "What's wrong with you, you've been acting weird all day. Could it be that your two brothers are bullying you again? Tell me, and I'll let Ziqing deal with them."

Cao Yan shook her head: "No."

"What's the matter, you tell me."

Cao Yan bit her lower lip, hesitated for a while, and decided to tell him: "My mother gave birth to a younger brother for my father yesterday."

"what?"

At first Yinyou didn't realize who the "parents" he was referring to were.

After thinking about it, he remembered that he was the son of Cao Yin's younger brother Cao Quan. Later, before Cao Xi died, he wanted to adopt Cao Quan's son to Cao Yin, so that he could be attached to his elder brother in this way.

Originally, Cao Quan's eldest son, Cao Shun, was chosen, but Cao Yin chose the younger son who was born of a concubine, who didn't even have an official name, and named him Cao Yan.

Therefore, the "father" in Cao Yan's mouth naturally refers to Cao Yin, and the "mother" in his mouth is Li Xi.

Yinyou opened his mouth wide, looking both surprised and happy. He threw away the willow stick in his hand, and grabbed Cao Yan: "Really? You mean that my Aunt Xi gave birth to a baby, and a younger brother?"

Cao Yan didn't expect him to be so excited, and nodded even more disappointed: "Yes."

"That's great, that's great!" Yinyou jumped up happily, and turned around several times before he remembered, and asked Cao Yan, "Then how is my Aunt Xi?"

Cao Yan nodded: "Very good. Since two days ago, my father has not been working in the yamen, and has been by my mother's side."

Yinyou pulled him to sit by the lake: "Tell me carefully."

If you talk about it carefully, that's the case.

Although the Cao family is not a famous family, they still have some family background.

Grandma Sun is Cao Xi's first wife and also Cao Quan's Holy Mother.Whether Cao Yin gave birth to a son or a daughter, he didn't really care.

Although their whole family relied on Cao Yin to live a comfortable life, they thought it was only right and proper.

Because although Cao Yin is the eldest son, he is a concubine.Since Cao Xi let the eldest son of the concubine inherit the family business before his death.He should take care of his aunt and younger brother's family as a matter of course.

It doesn't matter whether he gets married or has children. Anyway, Cao Quan adopted a son to him.

In the end, everything about Cao's family still belonged to their long house.

Now that Cao Yin gave birth to another son, Nanny Sun felt a little unhappy.

But he didn't show it. On the surface, he had done enough work, but he just asked the maid beside him to ask, and he never went to see it himself.

But Cao Yin is happy. He is 31 years old this year, and his wife married after twists and turns, and now he finally has his own child, and the mother and child are safe. Whether it is a boy or a girl, it is his first child.

He has no father or mother, so he wished he could stand in front of Li Xi and take care of her himself.

Cao Yan finally raised her head, pouted and asked Yinyou: "My mother gave birth to a child, what are you so happy about?"

Yinyou still smiled: "Aunt Xi has lived the life she wanted, of course I am happy for her. In the past, Master Nan Huairen said that it is very dangerous for a woman to give birth. As long as she is safe, I can rest assured."

"Oh." Cao Yan lowered her head, "I heard from the maid that she is fine now, but she can't get out of bed yet. My father won't let me see her and my brother, so I don't know the specific situation."

He spoke lightly, and combined with the fact that he was distracted all day today, Yinyou knew that he was in a low mood.

"What's wrong with you? Are you unhappy that Aunt Xi gave birth to a younger brother?"

Cao Yan shook her head: "No."

"You have, I can see that."

"..."

Cao Yan was not talking about work, the two sat side by side on a big rock, and a duckling swam past with a group of ducklings.

The sun was about to set on the other side of the mountain, and the clouds were dyed golden by the afterglow of the setting sun. Looking at it from a distance, it was full of rays of light.

"Seventh Brother," Cao Yan suddenly called Yinyou, "Can I..."

He stopped here again, as if the next request was difficult to say.

Yinyou tilted his head: "Can you do something?"

"Can I live by your side in the future, serve you tea and water every day, spread paper and rub ink."

"Ah?" Yinyou didn't think too much, just said, "But I have three haha ​​beads, and you are on duty in the palace in turn. You finish these tasks every day, what are Shun Anyan and Fu Dun doing?"

"Then I..." Cao Yan thought for a while and said, "Then I'll go back."

After speaking, he planned to stand up, Yinyou pushed him back: "What's wrong with you, it seems that you don't really want to go home."

Cao Yan sighed: "No one will want me in the future."

Yinyou was shocked: "How come?"

"My second uncle...that is, my own father gave birth to another son. He already has three sons. My second aunt doesn't like me either. They won't want me anymore."

"Now that my father has his own child, I'm the extra one."

"..."

Hearing this, Yinyou suddenly realized, and immediately understood his situation.

He was a child of a concubine, his mother died early, and he grew up being bullied by his elder brother and his brothers.

Cao Quan has no shortage of sons, and his own future was not settled at the beginning, so how could he care about the backyard.

Grandma Sun has no shortage of grandchildren, so naturally she loves her eldest grandson even more. In her eyes, Cao Yan's mother is not even as good as a servant, let alone this child.

After a lot of difficulty, he was adopted by his uncle, and someone supported him, and he lived a good life for several years.

But the uncle also wants to marry a wife, and if he marries a wife, he also has children of his own.

So what is he?Wherever he goes, he is superfluous and unappreciated.

Yinyou asked him: "Did Aunt Xi treat you badly?"

Cao Yan shook her head: "My mother is very kind to me. She makes me new clothes and cooks delicious food for me. She often chats with me and asks me about you."

Cao Yin put his arms around his shoulders: "My Aunt Xi is the best person in the world, she will never treat you like your Second Aunt."

Cao Yan nodded: "I know."

"So what are you worried about?"

"At home, I have two older brothers and two younger brothers. They all have their own mothers, but I don't."

Yinyou said: "As long as you treat Aunt Xi as your mother, she will definitely treat you as her child."

"Besides, you still have Seventh Brother and me. If you suffer any grievances in the future, you can tell me, and Seventh Brother will make the decision for you."

Hearing his last sentence, Cao Yan finally showed a smile on his face: "I heard from my father that because my younger brother was born in June, which is the season when lotus blooms, so my younger brother's nickname is Liansheng."

"Liansheng." Yinyou pondered for a while, "It's a very good name."

He suddenly stood up, pulled Cao Yan and ran back: "Come with me!"

He dragged Cao Yan all the way to the Ningchun Hall, and the imperial concubine happened to come out of it, saw him rushing into the yard, quickly stopped him, and wiped the sweat off his forehead with a handkerchief: "What are you doing, it's so hot Can't the sky walk slowly?"

"Emiang, Aunt Xi has given birth to a baby, a younger brother."

The imperial concubine was also a little surprised when she heard it, and brought them into the house again, and told the empress dowager the news.

Among the maids in the Compassion Palace, the Empress Dowager has always favored Li Xi, so she was even more happy when she heard the news, and hurriedly greeted Lagu Su Ma: "Hurry up, order someone to prepare something and send it to Miss Xi."

Yinyou pulled the imperial concubine: "The golden lock that hung around my neck when I was a child was given to Aunt Xi's younger brother."

The imperial concubine smiled and said: "Things that have not been worn for many years are of course in the palace. Besides, how can I give away the things I have worn."

Yinyou was relentless: "I'm going to give that one away."

"why?"

"Aunt Xi said that it was a safety lock to keep it safe. Before, every night when I went to sleep, she would take it off and wrap it in a handkerchief and put it under my pillow."

Yinyou hadn't worn that safety lock since she was three years old, so naturally the imperial concubine could not remember such a long time ago.

But the Empress Dowager remembered: "I had someone break the safety lock. This is also Xiao Qi's wish. If he wants to give it away, let him give it away, and let someone go to the palace to get it."

Since the ancestors said so, the imperial concubine had no choice but to agree.

She had an idea, and looked at Cao Yan again: "Then Xiaoyu, go back, don't mention this to your mother, let's give her a surprise, shall we?"

The little guy nodded like a pounding garlic: "Okay, okay!"

Changchun Garden is only ten or twenty miles away from the Forbidden City. In the morning when it was cool, the eunuch rode a horse and came back soon.

The safety lock is made of pure gold, and the workmanship is very exquisite.It hangs under a gold collar, with auspicious clouds and a unicorn engraved on both sides of the lock, and three bells hanging on the bottom. When a child of one or two years old runs, the bells make a pleasant sound, not to mention how auspicious it is.

However, the goldware has been placed for a long time, and the luster is somewhat dim.The imperial concubine ordered someone to re-polish it.

When I got it back, I said to Yinyou: "This collar can't be worn by a newborn child. Why don't we ask someone to change it into a pair of gold bracelets, and then use a rope woven with red silk thread to string the safety lock together."

Yinyou nodded, and withdrew something from his clothes.It's a jade Guanyin: "Aunt Xi gave it to me, she made the rope, look."

The imperial concubine nodded: "Then I'll let Bai Lu in to weave the rope."

Yinyou thought for a while, then waved his hand again: "No, no, I'll do it myself."

Bai Lu took out her usual sewing box, which contained silk threads of various colors.

Yinyou suddenly asked: "Does it have to be red?"

"Ah?" Bai Lu has never encountered such a problem, "But, don't everyone use red?"

Yinyou said: "Then let's make one in rainbow colors."

He wants to make a rainbow color, and no one else can stop him.

Bai Lu could only help him twist threads of different colors into twists, and taught him how to weave several strands of rope into knots.

Seventh elder brother is good at reading, calligraphy and swordsmanship, but he is not good at handicrafts, so he insists on doing it himself.

Bai Lu directed him beside him, but she was very anxious: "Here, my brother's left rope is placed on the middle one."

"..."

"The one on the right goes under it."

"..."

"Brother, why don't I come..."

"No!" the little guy insisted, "This is a gift for Aunt Xi, I want to do it myself."

The imperial concubine sat aside and watched him knitting the rope intently. The incoordination of his left and right hands was really cute.

It took a lot of effort, but the rope was finished, and the little guy held it up to the imperial concubine as if offering a treasure: "Look, mother!"

Because the ropes were not uniform when weaving, and the tension was not the same, the thickness of the weaving was not uniform, but with colorful colors, it has a different kind of childishness.

The imperial concubine nodded: "It's very beautiful, Li Xi will definitely like it."

With Er Niang's affirmation, the little guy's confidence increased greatly, and Cao Yan was on duty that day.When going back, Yinyou deliberately took out the safety lock and the gold bracelet: "You take this back to Aunt Xi."

When Li Xi got the things and opened them, he was so excited that tears almost fell down.

Cao Yin was taken aback by the side, and hurried over and put his arms around her shoulders and asked, "What's the matter, you're fine, why are you crying?"

Li Xi handed him the safety lock: "This is the one worn by Brother Seven when he was a child."

Cao Yin just looked at her hand, the style of the safety lock is similar, even if the things sent by the palace are more delicate, how can you be sure that it was brought by Seventh Brother?

"how do you know?"

"Why don't I know? I have taken care of him for six years. Is there anything around him that I don't know?"

She caressed the rope chasing the safety lock carefully again: "This must have been woven by my own hands."

This time Cao Yin took it over to have a closer look, and said with a smile, "Is the compilation too bad?"

"Fuck you," Li Xi glared at him reproachfully, "Brother likes these colorful things."

It has to be said that Li Xi has a thorough understanding of Yinyou's preferences.Even now, the clothes she makes are Yinyou's favorite.

In July, the orchid planted by Yinyou finally bloomed.

One of the pots is full of purple flowers, which are delicate and charming in the sun.The two prototype petals look like a butterfly fluttering its wings.Even the gardener said that such orchids can only grow in the warm and humid environment in the south, and it is easy to freeze to death in the north.

But because there is a glass house with insulation and enough light, it can bloom at this time.

The little guy sighed: "I don't know if the flowers will have withered when Ama comes back."

The gardener smiled and comforted him: "No, Phalaenopsis has a very long flowering period and can bloom for a long time."

The eunuch next to him also gave him a good suggestion: "Master, why don't we move these pots of orchids to Qingxi Bookstore, and when the emperor comes back, we can see them as soon as possible."

Yinyou nodded, this is indeed a good suggestion.So the little guy bent down and moved the pot of Phalaenopsis himself, and directed other people to move the remaining pots of orchids.

"Let's go, move to Ningchun Hall, first let my Ukuma and Er Niang take a look."

"..."

If there is something good, the first thing he thinks about is the empress dowager and imperial concubine, as for Ama...

What Ama likes is not important.

The day before Kangxi came back, Yinyou and his brother were busy in the field - the rice and wheat they had planted in spring had already reached the harvest season.

This is not an easy job, where the two princes can be tired, most of them are done by others.

Even so, Yinyou was very tired at the end of the day, and went back to elder brother's place to take a shower and then fell asleep.

The first thing Kangxi did when he came back was to go to the Ningchun Hall to greet the Empress Dowager. As soon as he sat down, he was attracted by the pot of orchids on the windowsill.

He had never been to such a place in the south, and the seeds were brought back to him by ministers who were sent abroad after returning to Beijing.

After looking at it for a while, I didn't recognize the species, so I asked curiously, "What kind of flower is this, and where did it come from?"

The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "Xiaoqi moved here, saying that it is an orchid that grows in the south. We don't have it here, but it is fresh."

Having said that, Kangxi became interested, bent down and looked again: "The glass house is so useful, it can really grow flowers in the south."

Yinyou said: "Unless you can grow southern flowers, you can also grow southern vegetables and fruits. The gardener said that because it is warm and sunny, so..."

He paused for a moment when he said this, as if thinking about something.Kangxi was whetted by him: "So what?"

"So, we should build a glass house and live in it."

"..."

The imperial concubine smiled and said: "No, no, glass is easy to break. Didn't you break the glazed lamp given by the emperor last time? It's not safe in wind and rain."

Intentionally or unintentionally, she put her hand on the edge of the carved window: "Think again."

The little guy was inspired: "Then replace the window with glass, so that when it is closed, the room is bright and you can read."

Kangxi bent his fingers and tapped his head: "Okay, then first replace the windows of your study with glass."

After a few days in the sun, the rice and wheat they harvested became practical grains after a series of treatments.

Take it to weigh, the experimental field is the same size, but this year's harvest is better than last year.Kangxi was very satisfied with this, and in front of all the princes, praised him for doing a good job, caring about farming is caring about the food and clothing of the common people.

And gave him a lot of rewards, let him make persistent efforts next year.

Next is the problem of flooding this year.Although no large-scale construction of heavy dikes was carried out because of Jin Fu's resignation, but the areas that should be repaired or strengthened have not been slack.

The embankment repaired with concrete made of cement is very stable, and Jackie Chan proposed dredging the downstream river to solve the problem of river silting and allow the river to flow into the sea smoothly.

This year, even in the flood season, there have been no large-scale floods in various places. The major provinces of Shandong, Henan, and Jiangsu have all ushered in the biggest harvest in recent years.

This news made the emperor Long Yan very happy. This is the correct way to increase taxes. The boss can eat enough and the treasury will be more full.

Dai Zi, a Hanchen who was not favored by Kangxi at first, was highly valued by the emperor because of this.

In the first ten days of August, the weather gradually cooled down, and they were going back to the palace again.

The fourth elder brother and Yinyou discussed it. A small part of the rice and wheat harvested this year will be sent to Chengqian Palace, and the rest will be distributed to the common people at the foot of Changchun Garden according to Ama's arrangement last year.

On the day they returned to the palace, the people along the way saw the royal family going out, bowed down from a distance, and kowtowed to the emperor.

When the royal garden was first built here, they still scolded the officials behind their backs for wasting the people and wasting money. Now they have been rewarded by the emperor for two consecutive years. When they first moved here, their taxes were reduced and exempted. They wish the emperor would live here all year round instead of returning to the palace.

As soon as they returned to the palace, news came that the Belgian missionary Nan Huairen had passed away.

Before he died, he asked another missionary from Belgium, Anduo, to bring all his life's works into the palace and give them to Kangxi.

These works include astronomy, geography, military affairs, navigation, calendar, mathematics, medicine and so on.

Yinyou once listened to Nan Huairen's lectures, those who traveled around the world, saw different customs, and twisted and bizarre legends, as well as plants, animals and people in different places...

These made Yinyou yearn deeply, and the little guy once said to Ama with a smile: "I really want to take a big boat and go to those places that Mr. Nan has mentioned."

Kangxi's attitude towards this was quite disdainful: "Our Qing Dynasty is the largest and richest place in the world. What can those small countries have to go to?"

Yinyou felt that what Ama said was wrong. Everyone in any place has their own advantages and disadvantages. You can only know after seeing and understanding.

For example, Nandu people mentioned that Italy is good at making glass, and they made the large full-length mirror in the palace.

It can be seen that they have mastered the technology of making large pieces of flat glass a long time ago, which is worth learning.

Also, the Dutch are good at building ships, and they can build ships with the displacement of thousands of wine barrels.

It is said that in the distant Heilongjiang, General Sabsu and Tsarist Russia will use warships.

Isn't their shipbuilding skills worth learning from the Qing Dynasty?

But what Ama did next puzzled the young children even more.

He put most of the books left by Mr. Nan into the Hongde Hall and sealed them up, especially those about astronomy, without anyone needing to look them up.

The things recorded in those books are so interesting, why is Amma afraid of being seen by others?

Yinyou also made a special trip to ask Er Niang about this question. The imperial concubine just patted his head and said, "Xiao Qi, each of us lives in this world. Life is limited, but time is indeed unlimited. Like the starlight you see may have been emitted thousands of years ago. It is just a drop in the ocean to put a finite life into an infinite time and space."

The little guy blinked: "My mother, I don't understand."

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. I just want to tell you that although Ama is called the Son of Heaven, he is also a mortal. As long as he is a mortal, his life is limited. We cannot predict what will happen after thousands of years. So, don't think that you can Keep controlling other people's minds, and in the end you will only reap the consequences."

"Remember, what people want is a rich life, to live and work in peace and contentment. Since ancient times, the common people who rose up in rebellion were because they didn't have enough to eat, didn't wear warm clothes, and were displaced, not because they had mastered more advanced production technology and cultural knowledge."

Er Niang's words made Yinyou think for a long time, he seemed to understand something, but he didn't understand at all.

But he knew that reading those "Four Books" and "Five Classics" every day would not allow them to build stronger embankments, nor would it allow them to grow more food.

At the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, Yinyou finally met his elder brother's new daughter-in-law.

Dafu Jin's ancestors were not prominent, and her father raised his family status only when he became the Minister of the Household Department.

Fujin also came to the palace several times, all to greet Concubine Hui, Yinyou had never seen her before.

It was the first time for Yinyou to meet his sister-in-law at this family dinner.Only then did I remember that when she was a show girl, he and Fifth Brother had already met in secret.

It's just that at that time, Da Fujin was still twelve or thirteen years old, Gege who hadn't left the cabinet, and now he was sixteen or seventeen, and had grown into a decent and generous girl.

Afterwards, Yinyou saw two girls who had never seen and didn't know standing beside Dafujin.

He asked the imperial concubine in surprise: "Who are they?"

The imperial concubine said: "Those are the two side Fujin of elder brother."

This Yinyou knew that Baotai's Eniang was Prince Yu's side Fujin, just like the concubines in the palace.

Yinyou was curious, always staring at his elder brother's three daughters-in-law.

The imperial concubine didn't know what his little head was thinking about, so she patted his shoulder: "What are you looking at?"

The little guy told the truth: "Look at my elder brother's side Fujin."

The imperial concubine sneered: "Don't watch!"

"why?"

"How can a little uncle stare at his sister-in-law endlessly?"

But the little guy said: "The three of them don't seem to have a good relationship."

The imperial concubine gave a "tsk" sound: "You know again."

Yinyou said: "Look at Concubine An and Concubine Jing always talking to Da Fujin, praising her for being dignified and virtuous, and saying that she will give birth to the emperor's eldest grandson next year. The two Fujin next to them always have this expression."

He learned a superficial smile, an expression of wanting to roll his eyes but not daring, but the imperial concubine died laughing.

"You are really free," the imperial concubine pushed the small dish containing vinegar sauce and crab meat towards him, "Hurry up and eat!"

After all, there are dozens of concubines in the palace, and the only mother-in-law is Concubine Hui.

She was the focus of everyone today, even Concubine Yi and Concubine Rong praised her for being blessed.

After his son got married, he officially began to help Kangxi with some things, especially when the prince was not accompanied by the prince during this tour, the elder brother even stole the limelight. I don’t know, I thought he was the heir to the throne .

However, the elder brother has changed his previous ostentatious temperament, and has become much more prudent in his work.

Coupled with the fact that this son has become more and more heroic and extraordinary, Kangxi likes it even more.

If it was before, seeing the emperor's father admiring the elder brother, the prince felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Now that I have grown up and matured, I think more thoroughly about some things.

In any case, he is the crown prince whom the emperor announced to the world.During the illness of the Empress Dowager, he was also the one who handled the memorials in the cabinet instead of the emperor's father.

It doesn't matter if he steals the limelight and praises him a lot, he is the one who is infinitely close to the center of power.

There is also a more important point, he always feels that the reason why the emperor's father favors the elder brother these days is because something big is going to happen in the court.

Sure enough, it was not long after the Mid-Autumn Festival.Guo Xiu, who had just taken office as Zuodu Censor, made another big move.

He also wrote a letter bluntly, impeaching academician Mingzhu, Yu Guozhu and others for forming a party for personal gain, eliminating dissidents, traffic, embezzling and distributing money, and instigating Fo Lun to favor Jin Fu and other crimes.

Yu Guozhu, a scholar of the Wuyingdian University, colluded closely with Mingzhu and blackmailed officials. He was called "Yu Qinhui".

Kangxi was not shocked at all, and he didn't struggle too much. He directly convicted Mingzhu, dismissed his prime minister, dismissed him from office, and ransacked his home.Yu Guozhu was also dismissed.

For so many years, Mingzhu has always held a high position. It can be said that besides Suo'etu, he is the most powerful minister beside Kangxi, and Kangxi trusts him very much.

However, it all came so suddenly.While lamenting the ruthlessness of the emperor, everyone was also thinking about why.

No one knew that Kangxi had received a secret memorial from Zhili governor Yu Chenglong as early as when Mingzhu and Yu Guozhu put Tang Bin to death.

He said: "Guan has been sold out by Pearl."

Kangxi was shocked by this, and he asked Gao Shiqi: "Why didn't anyone impeach Mingzhu?"

Gao Shiqi only said: "Who is not afraid of death?"
