[Qing wear + Red Mansions] Guide to the Prince's Pampering Wife

When the prince sent someone to call, Suo'etu hadn't left the office yet, and was listening to his subordinates report.

Seeing people from Yuqing Palace, he interrupted his subordinates and said: "The prince will not delay the invitation. Shall I talk to you when I come back?"

"It should be, you should be busy first," the subordinate smiled and complimented, "Your Excellency still has the crown prince's reliance, and you have to discuss everything with your lord."

Suo'etu said something modest, but his expression was full of complacency.After his subordinate left, he took a booklet from the table and went to Yuqing Palace.

Suo'etu originally thought that the prince was looking for him to train officials in charge of military doctors. He had already drawn up a few officials and planned to discuss with the prince. If there was no problem, he could recommend them to the emperor.

Unexpectedly, when I arrived at Yuqing Palace, I found that the atmosphere was not right. The Yuqing Palace today was extraordinarily quiet, and the people in the palace were also very careful in their actions and words, and seemed extraordinarily nervous. It was as if I had returned to the time when the emperor was on his southern tour. When you are in a temper.

Suo'etu raised his heart slightly, and asked the little eunuch who led the way in a low voice: "What's wrong with the prince, but what happened?"

"You'll know when you go in," the little eunuch gave him a sympathetic look.

Suo'etu didn't notice the look in the little eunuch's eyes, he was still thinking about what happened to the prince and how to comfort him, but when he entered the study, he saw several boxes on the ground, and the things inside were not right. The ones he sent a few days ago?

Suo'etu's heart skipped a beat, and when he looked at the prince's expression again, there was something he didn't understand, and his face immediately turned pale: "Prince..."

"Everything in the feudal kingdom is managed by Honglu Temple. I just remember that the Minister of Honglu Temple belongs to you, and you sent people to send these things yourself," the prince interrupted Suo'etu, and shouted, "I don't know how many things I can use, I told you to be bold enough to intercept the tribute!"

"I know I was wrong," Suo'etu knelt down with a "plop", "I just saw that these things are suitable for the prince, so I sent them here as soon as I got excited, and I didn't intend to intercept the tribute!"

"Hot-headed?" The prince sneered, "but I don't know how much trouble your hot-headedness has caused Gu. Are you also an official like this?"

The tribute sent by the vassal state was not delivered to Kangxi, but was sent directly to Yuqing Palace. What would Kangxi think if he found out?

The relationship between princes and emperors throughout the ages is very delicate, because the young and strong princes gathered too much power and challenged the majesty of the emperor.

The emperor cared most about his dignity and authority, and so did Kangxi.Although the prince has a deep relationship with Kangxi and his son, he also pays special attention to his actions on a daily basis, trying not to make Kangxi feel threatened. Unexpectedly, the boat capsized in the gutter and fell on the most trusted Suo'etu.

The prince looked at Suo'etu coldly, and didn't believe that he would not know the risks in it after being an official for many years, and why his brain became hot... He didn't believe it at all!

The prince snorted coldly: "Tell me the truth, how much of the intercepted tributes did you keep?"

Suo'etu looked up in surprise, cold sweat dripped down all of a sudden.

That's true!

The prince only felt extremely disappointed, because of his mother who died young, he had always trusted Yourong in Suo'etu, but he did not expect to indulge him in such a way.

He waved his hand: "Forget it, you and I will go to see Khan Ama."

"Prince, don't!" Suo'etu said sharply, "You can't let the emperor know about this, otherwise the emperor will be dissatisfied with you!"

The prince looked at him indifferently: "You knew the consequences, why did you do this?"

"Prince, please forgive me. Only you and I know about this matter, and the minister of Honghe Temple will not tell it. The emperor is busy with government affairs, and he has never been very concerned about the affairs of the vassal state. He will not know how many tributes are missing. of!"

The prince sneered: "Ama Khan and Gu have pampered you all these years, so your heart has been covered? Is there anything in the court that Ama Khan can't know? Even if he didn't pay attention today, he will find out later. What about you and me?"

"This... this..." Suo'etu thought for a while and said, "If we return the things and ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to change the list of tributes, then nothing will go wrong."

The prince sneered in his heart, as the sixth brother said, those who don’t know are innocent, he didn’t know about this matter, even if he told Khan Ama, it would be fine, only Suo’etu would suffer.

Prince Qi Suo Ertu acted domineeringly, and wanted to teach him a lesson, but seeing the panic on his face, thinking about how hard he had done for himself all these years, he couldn't bear it, and sighed: "That's all. , just do as you say."

Suo'etu heaved a sigh of relief and hurried to deal with the matter.He has been an official for many years, and he has no shortage of skills and connections.

Everything was in order, Suo'etu felt that the matter was over, and finally let go of his worries. Unexpectedly, the next day, Kangxi would find a reason to dismiss the official position of Honglu Temple Minister.

Suo'etu's heart that had just been let go instantly raised even higher, and he quickly went to the prince to discuss: "Did the emperor know?"

The prince asked indifferently: "What do you say?"

If he hadn't known about the tribute, what would Kangxi have done by pulling the braid of Honglu Siqing for no reason?It's just a fourth-rank petty official, and it's not a confidential position. When did Kangxi take it so seriously?

Doing so now is nothing more than a knock on the mountain.

Why didn't Suo'etu understand this truth, and felt dizzy for a moment: "This... what should we do now?"

Now he even regrets that he didn't confess to Kangxi with the prince at that time, and he was punished at that time, which is better than being unclear now.He didn't think that an emperor would wrong him. Kangxi was holding back now, and he was afraid that if he accumulated more dissatisfaction in the future, it would be out of control.

It's fine if it's just targeting him, but I don't know if it will hurt the prince.

The prince sighed: "Be careful in the future, Khan Ama... let me talk to him."

Suo'etu was panicked, but there was no better way, so he could only tell: "Then you have to think about your words, and the emperor must calm down."

The prince has been the prince for nearly 20 years, and all kinds of beautiful clichés come out of his mouth, and he has prepared a few perfect explanations.However, when he brought up this matter with Kangxi that afternoon, he suddenly remembered Yinzuo's words: The second brother just needs to make it clear to Khan Ama, there are not so many rules and regulations between father and son!

Subconsciously, the prince's words became: "I wanted to report this to Khan Ama when I found out about it, but Suo'etu... these years I have worked hard without credit, and I couldn't bear it, so I acted wrongly. It made Khan Ama angry."

These are the crown prince's sincere words, but they are not pretty or decent. After he finished speaking, he waited nervously for Kangxi's response.

I thought that Kangxi would be unhappy, but I didn't expect Kangxi to be stunned for a moment, with a smile on his face, and softly snorted: "You should feel sorry for Suo'etu, but don't be too conniving. I will allow him to recruit troops and buy horses." The reason for forming cliques is because you, as a prince, need to have your own team, but as a master, you need to control him, otherwise you will only hurt yourself with an uncontrolled knife."

The prince looked at Kangxi in surprise, Kangxi had never said such a thing to him!Even though the father and son are close, they are always cautious and probing every step of the way when it comes to matters involving reserves and party members, for fear that a wrong sentence will touch the sensitive nerves of the other party.

He always knew what Kangxi meant, but knowing it well was very different from saying it out loud, the latter represented intimacy and trust.The prince just felt warm in his heart.

Kangxi also felt at ease, his son was so frank, it can be seen that he was close to his father and son, as a father he was naturally happy.Therefore, the dissatisfaction with Suo'etu has dissipated.

He thought for a while and said: "Since Suo'etu has acted too much, he will be relieved of the post of minister of the bodyguard. How about the effect?"

"Yes! Thank you, Khan Ama!" The crown prince breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he is willing to punish him, it will be considered as a pass, and it is better than to settle the accounts together in the future.Although it is distressing to lose the official title of a minister of the bodyguard, fortunately, Suo'etu still has the title of a bachelor of the Palace of Baohe, so it is not considered a severe punishment.

It is a good thing for Suo'etu to be so out of proportion this time, and to learn some lessons.

What should be said is said, what should be punished should be punished, and the matter will be settled.

Kangxi communicated frankly with the prince once, and the relationship between father and son became closer. The next day, when the minister issued the decree to dismiss Suo'etu and lead the guards, Kangxi also rewarded the prince with a lot of fanfare. go back.

Yinzuo paid close attention to this matter, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after learning the result.

That afternoon, the chief eunuch of Yuqing Palace brought someone to deliver things, Yinzuo looked at the big golden kapok tree and asked in surprise: "Second brother, you want to give this to me?"

"Yes, the emperor gave this flower to His Highness the Crown Prince. His Highness remembered that Sixth Brother liked it, so he immediately asked the servant to bring it over."

Yin Zuo hesitated: "Such a precious flower..."

The head eunuch smiled and said: "Your Highness said, the more expensive the flower, the more it will not be let down if it is in the hands of the person you love. You are the most suitable for it!"

Yinzuo nodded: "Don't be nervous, I have no intention of not accepting it. I just want to say that such precious flowers may not be easy to grow, can you give me another craftsman who can grow flowers."

Chief Eunuch: "..."

The elder brothers watching the excitement: "..."

In the end, the chief eunuch found Yinzuo an eunuch who was proficient in growing flowers before leaving.

As soon as he left, Fifth Brother scratched his head: "Sixth Brother likes this flower?"

He remembered that Yinzuo didn't like flowers, and he once had a brilliant record of pulling out the imperial garden.

"Of course!" Yin Zuo took it for granted, "This flower is so beautiful and so rare...it must be very valuable, I like all valuable things!"

He looked crazy about money: "How much money do you think I can sell these flowers? Can my laboratory be fully equipped?"

"Good idea!" Eldest brother rolled his eyes, "No matter how rare this thing is, it is just a tribute from the small country of Siam, and its value is still lower than that of western colored glaze. If you sell it, you may not be able to get a bottle back. But the crown prince and Khan Ama want to talk to you."

Yinzuo sighed regretfully, it's a pity that he can't exchange money!

The third elder brother glanced at Yinzuo sideways, and said in a strange way: "Sixth brother, could it be that he got into the eyes of money? I wonder if these golden petals are all made of gold?"

Yinzuo: "..."

Yin Zuo smiled and said: "The second brother of the prince has good things and only thinks about me. The third brother is going to sleep in the vinegar vat at night, right?"

Whoever hurts each other is afraid of whom!

I have known for a long time that the third elder brother is a fan of the prince, but unfortunately the prince likes him more than the Yin Yang family!Yinzuo thought proudly.

The third elder brother was choked for a moment, and after thinking about it, he didn't know how to refute it. He just turned his head and pretended to admire the golden kapok, and pretended to read a poem: "The kapok is reflected in the small shrine, and the spring is dawning in the sound of birds."

The fourth elder brother: "Crane cloaks are sparse, and kapok is so cold that it has a false name."

Yinzuo also touched the trunk of the kapok tree and sighed: "Kapok is good, the whole body is full of treasures!"

Third Elder Brother: "..."

The fifth elder brother was immediately curious: "What can I do, can I eat?"

"Yes, many people in Guangdong use kapok to cook porridge and soup, which has the effect of clearing away heat and detoxification, promoting dampness, invigorating the spleen and nourishing the stomach," Yin Zuo explained with a smile, "Kapok skin is used internally to clear away heat and diuresis, promote blood circulation, reduce swelling and detoxify, and externally use it to treat legs Knee pain and bruises; kapok root can restrain bleeding, dissipate stagnation and relieve pain. Kapok is a good thing all over the body.”

The fifth elder brother took a deep breath: "Why don't we use kapok soup to drink later."

Yin Zuo and San Age said in unison: "No way!"

The third elder brother said angrily: "How can the prince's mind be so polluted!"

Yinzuo rolled his eyes, the crown prince wouldn't care about what is defiled or not.but……

"I do not know!"

Thank you, it's really a doctor, not a cook!

As a foodie, the fifth elder brother is always persevering. He decided to go to the imperial dining room to ask if there is any Cantonese imperial chef who can use kapok to make soup.

Yinzuo was a little worried when he sent everyone away - he really didn't like flowers very much, and a golden kapok that couldn't be sold for money was really not worth much in his eyes, but girls should like it.

So Yinzuo asked Deqing: "Can you give this flower to Miss Lin?"

Deqing looked at the five or six feet tall flower and was silent for a moment, then said lightly: "It's possible, but there must be some disturbance. This flower is rare, and if more people know about your relationship with Miss Lin, it will be impossible to hide it. "

"Forget it, I'll cut a few branches to show Miss Lin a fresh look."

Deqing nodded, and seeing Yin Zuo calling for someone to cut the flower branches, he couldn't help laughing and said: "It's a coincidence, Miss Lin also gave you something."

"Really? Bring it here and let me have a look!" Yin Zuo guessed what Daiyu gave him, whether it was a purse or a handwritten painting. Unexpectedly, Deqing asked someone to bring two boxes, one big and one small, and opened the big box. Taking a quick look, Yinzuo was almost dazzled——

It's all glass bottles!

"Miss Lin gave this to me?"

Deqing was also a little surprised, but he quickly came back to his senses and smiled: "Yes, Miss Lin said that she earned a lot of money for her comic strips, and she didn't need them, so she gave them to the master instead."

"Miss Lin is so kind!" Yin Zuo was very moved, "My life is so good!"

Are you really close to a rich woman?It's such a joy to be nurtured!

Yin Zuo accepted the glazed bottle with a little coyness, and then looked at the small box with a complicated mood: there can't be gold or silver tickets in it, right?

He opened the box a little excitedly, and it wasn't gold tickets and silver tickets, but a few medical books.

Deqing smiled and said: "Miss Lin heard that you are compiling medical books, and asked Mrs. Lin to send all the medical books collected by the Lin family from Gusu and Yangzhou. The books in Jia's collection cannot be taken from the original, so she copied a new copy for you. "

Yinzuo flipped through it, and sure enough, some of those books were quite old, while others were new.Most of these books are owned by Yinzuo, but there are also a few that have never been seen. After all, it is a family, and there are always some backgrounds that others do not know.

The corner of Yinzuo's mouth couldn't help but twitch: "It's hard work, Miss Lin."

"The shopkeeper Lin said when he gave the things to the servant, and Miss Lin said that as long as it can help you, it will be fine."

"Of course, it's very useful!" Yinzuo sighed, "Miss Lin is so kind, how can I repay her!"

Deqing said with a sinister smile: "As the saying goes, there is no repayment, but a promise with your body."

Yinzuo gave him a white look: "Where did you learn these nonsense, and now you are talking nonsense in front of me, be careful and I will slap you!"

Deqing chuckled, but didn't answer.Yin Zuo didn't intend to punish him, instead he took a book from the shelf: "Miss Lin always said that she wanted to open her eyes, I found this book very interesting, you give it together with the kapok branch Miss Lin."

Deqing nodded in response.

The two items were delivered to Daiyu not long after, and Zhu Ying and Xueyan surrounded the kapok with amazement: "I have never seen a golden kapok before!"

"I haven't seen it either," Daiyu touched the book in her hand, "I haven't heard of "Tiangong Kaiwu" either."

Shopkeeper Lin explained with a smile: "It is said that the book has not been written for many years, and not many people know about it. Brother Six happened to see the content and found it interesting, so he sent it for the girl to read."

Zhu Ying laughed and said, "It's only the sixth elder brother, and you can always see some weird things."

Daiyu flipped through the book and smiled slightly: "Senior brother has different insights from ordinary people, and his thinking is more open. Naturally, he can see the benefits that others can't see."

For example, this book "Heavenly Craftsmanship", others saw it as a vulgar thing, but the senior brother could find the beauty in it after seeing it, this is different from ordinary people.

... Daiyu thought with a blushing face.

……

Not to mention how happy Yin Zuo and Dai Yu are, Nalan Xingde has been in a low mood recently.

Another day when he went back to the government office, he got off his horse at the door, and a young man greeted him and said, "Master is back? Master invites you to go to the study to narrate."

Nalan Xingde paused: "You tell Ama, I still have something to do."

The little servant smiled and said: "The master told the little one to invite you over, don't make things difficult for the little one."

Nalan Xingde had no choice but to go to Nalan Mingzhu's study.

Sure enough, as he expected, there was another room full of people in the study.

Ever since the matter of the military doctor was on the right track, Nalan Mingzhu called his party members to discuss in the study every day, intending to plan for the post of officer in charge of military medical training.

This position has not been determined yet, and it may not be of high grade, but the credit is there. Nalan Mingzhu is jealous, and Baba hopes that the elder brother will beat the prince and get this position, so that he can do it for him. Big brother adds chips.

Now that Suo'etu was punished by the emperor to lose his position as the minister of the guards, Nalan Mingzhu naturally focused on this again, and wanted his own people to take over.

Nalan Xingde really didn't want to participate in these things, he wanted to say hello to Nalan Mingzhu and leave, but when Nalan Mingzhu saw him, he just nodded lightly and motioned him to sit down, and didn't give him a chance to speak.

Nalan Xingde's upbringing did not allow him to leave directly, nor did he allow him to interrupt others, so he had no choice but to sit down and listen to the audience to discuss some topics that he was not interested in or even extremely disgusted with.

After struggling for two hours, the discussion finally came to an end, and everyone left. Nalan Mingzhu took a sip of tea and asked Nalan Xingde, "You didn't say a word just now, what do you think?"

view?

Nalan Xingde smiled lightly: "No matter how much you plan, the emperor may not agree. It's better to be down-to-earth and do a good job in the mission to the West."

"It's up to God to succeed, but you have to work hard for it," Nalan Mingzhu said. "Going to the west is too risky, and the credit may not be much. The gain is not worth the loss. Only foolish people will fight for it. Don't mention it in the future."

Nalan Xingde nodded, if Nalan Mingzhu hadn't insisted on asking, he wouldn't bother to bother.

He said: "I don't know anything about these matters, so don't call me when discussing matters in the future."

Nalan Mingzhu frowned: "You don't know or don't want to? As the eldest son, if you don't stand up and support the glory of the Yehenala family, do you have to count on Kui Xu?"

"The glory of the Yehenala family... is the so-called merit of Conglong?" Nalan Xingde asked quietly, "I said earlier that I am not interested and I can't do it, but Kui Xu seems to have a lot of ideas, ah Ma can train him as much as possible in the future, don't worry about me."

Nalan Mingzhu got angry: "You bastard!"

Nalan Xingde smiled lightly and turned to leave, but as soon as he stepped out of the study, his smile fell, and he looked back at the study, his brows could not help but be tinged with sadness.

Ever since Nalan Mingzhu supported the elder brother to fight against the prince, Nalan Xingde had quarreled with him countless times, but unfortunately it was of no use at all.

Nalan Xingde does not agree with Nalan Mingzhu's pursuit of the merits of the dragon, not to mention that the Yehenala clan is already glorious enough, but only that the elder brother did not intend to fight for the reserve. It's strange that the emperor can let Nalan Mingzhu go.

It's a pity that what Nalan Mingzhu saw was the glory and glory after the event was completed, completely disregarding the risks during the period.

In the past, Nalan Xingde was so worried that he broke his body and almost died young.Now he also wants to be more open, and if he can't be persuaded, he won't persuade him any more, just close his eyes and let his mind be out of trouble.

It's a pity that Nalan Mingzhu didn't allow him to pretend to be blind. Every time he asked him to discuss matters together, even if he didn't say anything, Nalan Xingde felt exhausted.

Nalan Xingde frowned and couldn't help coughing a few times.

"Master..." The boy was a little worried. Every time Nalan Xingde was called by Nalan Mingzhu to discuss matters, he would not be in a good mood for a few days after that, and his health would also be worse. "Should I ask the imperial physician?"

"No need," Nalan Xingde waved his hand, "I'm fine, just rest for a while and I'll be fine."

He knew in his heart that he might not be able to sleep again tonight.

After Nalan Xingde left, Nalan Mingzhu sat alone in the study and sulked. After a while, the servant came in and said, "My lord, Jia Hao, the great master of the Rongguo Mansion, is begging to see you."

"Which family is Jia's?" Nalan Mingzhu waved his hands irritably, "No see!"

The servant said in a low voice: "He still has the post from the Zhen family."

Nalan Mingzhu paused: "Please come in."
