At first, Jiang Heng thought that the emperor was overwhelmed by alcohol, and only occasionally showed a little awkward childlike innocence.

But I don't think that the emperor feels that the life is going well, so he is in a good mood this New Year's Eve - whether it is the court affairs, or the status quo in the royal family, the emperor is quite satisfied with the status quo.

The country and the family are on both shoulders. Although things are coming one after another, they only keep him busy, and don't bother him much.

So I was so busy that I was so busy.

It's just that the emperor was born with a cold and solemn demeanor, and now that he is a king, this joy can't be shown on his face, and he still acts sternly in front of people.Self-awareness is to arrive at the Yonghe Palace, so that you can show your heart comfortably.

Jiang Heng quickly changed his mind: Your Majesty, this is not a wolf dozing in front of him, but a big cat that couldn't help purring happily.

There are still ten days before the Chinese New Year, and there are only two piles of papers on the imperial case, and there are more and more papers on the emperor's right hand side.

There are two types of excerpts, Zou Shi Zhe and Please An Zhe - the left side of the long imperial case is the Zou Shi Zhe, and the right side is the Zou An Zhe.

The documents that can be handed over to the imperial court are all dealt with by military planes.

In the past, on the emperor's case, the memorials on the left side were always built high, and they were even divided into seven or eight piles to prevent the pile of papers from being too high and falling on the precious dragon body. There were only a few piles of papers on the right.

Since the emperor came to the throne, he has greatly limited the number of invitations: the last invitation is over on a serious New Year's day, don't waste a lot of tax money to send something to Beijing every now and then, 'how are you, Your Majesty?The minister is restless day and night, only thinking of the holy king' and other nasty and useless expressions of loyalty and peace.

The emperor didn't like it, and invitations to An Zhe became increasingly rare.

But this meeting is the end of the year, and all officials from all over the country who have powers have to uphold their duties as ministers, conscientiously and honestly write down a letter of greetings and paying homage to the emperor for the early years.

The emperor subconsciously stretched out his hand to the left, but found that he did not touch the familiar satin folded seal, but touched the table, put down the vermilion pen, got up and stretched his muscles.

Today's noon memorial papers are all approved.

In fact, the busiest time for the Emperor and the Six Departments is not the real New Year’s Eve—the ministers are all sharp-eyed, and no one will leave important matters until two days before New Year’s Eve before handing them over to the Lord Long Live in a hurry. I don't want to do things the New Year's Eve in the future.

So everyone said that the new year is busy, but it is actually the busiest at the beginning of the twelfth lunar month.

As time went on, the taste of the new year became stronger, but fewer people attended the official booklets, and please Anzhezi flew over like snowflakes.

The emperor was not in a hurry to see An Zhezi.

After exercising for a while, the emperor picked up a meal loose-leaf book on the kang table by the south window and flipped through it. He personally ordered two meat dishes and two desserts and ordered them to be delivered to Thirteenth Brother, and ordered the same sweet and salty dish. Give Zhang Tingyu Ertai a plate of snacks each.

He also ordered that according to the number of people, the most common milk cakes in the palace be sent to the military plane for the young Jingzhang to eat-if they really appreciate the exquisite dim sum plate in the palace, these young officials will rush over to kowtow Xie En, it's not easy to eat a bite of imperial food.It's better to get some ordinary things to send, and eat them casually so that we can continue to do serious business.

Su Peisheng wrote down one by one, and the emperor asked again: "Send someone to the building office again, and urge me to urge the things I wanted a few days ago."

Fortunately, Mr. Su has a good memory, so he went out and distributed the errands to the eunuchs one by one.

Turning around, I found that the emperor was also eating dim sum, but it was not the eight-course snacks that the Imperial Dining Room sent to the Hall of Mental Cultivation as usual, but made by Yonghe Palace.

Ever since the emperor asked for the milk cake of the fourth princess, he felt that the desserts in Yonghe Palace were more suitable for him.

Now Su Peisheng is used to it, and he is often ordered to go to the Yonghe Palace to taste the desserts that the Fourth Princess or the Concubine Xin uses for herself.

Today's snack is a box of ten transparent rice rolls.

Let Su Peisheng describe it, it is a bit like the transparent spring rolls made by Chef Annan Ruan before.

The small kitchen of Yonghe Palace uses it to roll everything: as far as Su Peisheng has seen, there are spicy shrimp rolls (Jiang Heng can’t find crayfish), cucumber bean sprouts and gluten cubes mixed with sesame sauce (mini bite-sized cold rolls), Rolls of fresh and sweet crab legs, rolls of grilled chicken legs... In short, it is not the same as the imperial dining room.

There are two pieces for each flavor. Some emperors like it, and they will eat two pieces after a taste, while others only taste one mouthful and leave more than half of it. Obviously, they are not used to it—this is taking dim sum from the favorite concubine. If the emperor doesn't like this taste, he will never blame Concubine Xin, but if the imperial dining room sends something that the emperor dislikes, the crime will be greater than a mountain.

It's no wonder that the Imperial Dining Room can't innovate, it's really too risky to make innovative dishes.

Su Peisheng still remembered that the dim sum served in the Yonghe Palace two days ago was very strange. It was a piece of rice shaped into a triangle and covered with a layer of roasted dried seaweed from Ningbo tribute.What kind of snack is this piece of dried seaweed wrapped with a piece of rice?The emperor studied the appearance for a while, thinking that there must be rich fillings hidden in the rice, but at the end of the meal, he only ate a dried plum inside, which made the emperor sour.

The rice was paired with plums. The emperor felt that she deliberately used dim sum to tease others.Thinking about it, I was narrow, remembering my false sleep.

In fact, Jiang Heng wanted to give the emperor a taste of the classic Japanese prunes onigiri, so that he could find a reason to mention this country in the future.

It is also a one-ten-thousandth hope that the emperor may fall in love with plum rice balls, and then directly become interested in Zhenwa.

Of course not.

The emperor also asked Su Peisheng to send her the remaining box of small and exquisite rice balls back to the Yonghe Palace. It was the first dessert to be returned.

After the snacks, the maid brought a golden basin, and the emperor washed his hands.

Because it was winter, he was afraid of chapped skin, so he applied a little facial fat—this facial fat was tasteless, and it was also the emperor who took his daughter from the Yonghe Palace earlier. Jiang Heng didn't use skin care products with spices for Min Min.

The emperor thought it was good, this kind of fat was applied on his hands, and there was no smell that would bother him, so he began to use the same thing as his daughter.

After finishing everything, the emperor began to look at the invitation book.He even ordered a pot of good tea, which shows that it is more relaxing to see An Zhezi.

The first book I picked up was from the Annan Booklet written by Prince Annan Lian.

In fact, in terms of Prince Lian's title, his performance and greetings should be put in the first place, but before the emperor's close officials were aware of the quarrel between the emperor and Prince Lian, so they silently took Prince Lian's note Put it to the back, and try to see the emperor later, and affect the mood later, let's deal with the previous things first.

However, after Prince Lian went to Annan, this situation changed.

The emperor opened Lao Ba's notebook to read.

A few years ago, there was no need to look at the New Year's greetings at Prince Lian's mansion, they were all made of the same mold.Ba Ye didn't really want to wish the emperor well, and handing this greeting was not only necessary, but also meant to embarrass the emperor by deliberately writing the greeting in a formal and polite manner.The emperor knew it well in his heart, and he only criticized one coldly and sent it back when he knew it. The book was cold, and the two brothers were not at all warm.

This time is different.

Lao Ba's handwriting seems to be more energetic and fresher, and the first three pages are all saying good things about the emperor, and they are especially on the point: from reforming the land to returning to Yunnan, Guizhou and other places, it is so praised by the people, and then When the emperor ordered Lao Jiu to lead the foreign affairs yamen, and ordered Twelve to check the drugs in the coastal ports, what a holy light and how caring for brothers.On the last page, he writes about himself alone, saying that he is able to settle down now because of the tolerance of the emperor for the king and brother, regardless of the past grievances.

Even if the emperor knew that he had the temperament of Pi Lichunqiu, he also felt that he could not blame the old eight for his popularity - as long as he was willing, he would be pleasant to speak.

After boasting the emperor into a flower, Lao Ba spent another five pages writing in detail his current progress with King Annan and the promotion of border trade between the two countries.

Finally, he greeted Concubine Liang and Hongwang in Beijing, and earnestly asked the emperor to take care of his aging mother and concubine and his underage son.

This is probably the most brother-like thing that Lao Ba said to the emperor after he was ten years old.

The paper was too long, and the emperor did not give a unified reply at the end, but inserted a paragraph reply in the middle. The old eight replied to the official part and asked him to continue to report the detailed summary; the last part promised that he would take care of Jing Zhongliang and Prince Lian's residence .

Paused the pen, and finally added a sentence: Annan's hot and humid miasma, take care of yourself.

After writing this sentence, it seems that the shackles of the past have quietly melted into the air.

After all, it is a different life.

Lao Ba is followed by Lao Jiu and Twelve's excerpts. Although they are greetings and congratulations for the New Year, these younger brothers can't help but mention their respective errands to the emperor one or two times, which shows their enthusiasm and pride.

Needless to say, Lao Jiu, the whole person is simply "there is no Zhao in a hundred family names, just money". Being able to do big business in border trade is the happiest thing in life, and the words in the booklet are almost flying.

Even with Twelve's silent and mellow personality, this time he has written a lot more in the booklet. His words are sincere and he is very grateful to the emperor's concern. He ordered him to investigate the Thirteen Banks in Guangzhou. I will never be confused like before, errands come first!

The emperor dared to let the old twelve go, of course he was at ease: this younger brother had tried his best to shrink back in the chaos of seizing the heirloom before, for fear of showing his face, and after being implicated and punished for corruption for a while, he became more courageous.

I will be determined to run an errand well, wash away the shame of the past, and will not make money from the errand.

But the Thirteenth Bank in Guangzhou is full of wealthy businessmen, and the old twelve is not an idiot, so accepting the filial piety of these people is a good harvest!It has nothing to do with the treasury and the people's fat and people's anointing.The emperor sent him to collect money to subsidize the family.

After the Twelfth Master was grateful, he became more concerned about Hongshi: Although he has the imperial doctor's endorsement, it's better for his uncle to take Hongshi home with a new look so that he can show his gratitude to the Holy Grace, and the errands are done twice as well.

So Hongshi was also mentioned in the brochures on the website, saying that the third elder brother had a much better spirit, but he was just too young, and his eyes were tearing up when he saw A Furong, and he wished to drag the officials and merchants involved to the Internet Great punishment, but I have been persuaded, and now I am learning how to deal with problems systematically.

The Twelfth Lord who can handle funerals well may not be a good leader, but he is definitely a good coordinator and coordinator.

Hongshi had been stroked by him and gradually calmed down.

And compared to seeing Huang Ama in Beijing and being in constant panic, being able to do some facts at the port and track down the poison that almost caused him to kill his father back then can be regarded as a kind of compensation for Hongshi's fear and regret.

The more things you do, the less fear you will leave behind.

It was brought by the twelve folder, and Hongshi’s own handwritten invitation to Anxin, although it still looks very stiff, but seeing the words is like seeing a person, and this mental state is obviously much better than when he was silently writing the text in Beijing.

The emperor couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief when he saw it.

The last patriarchal paternity book is fourteen.He is now in Qinghai, and the military plane is involved, so his greeting is not important, it is a serious greeting, expressing his miss for the emperor's mother and his elder brother.He also said that Shanghui received Fujin's family letter and heard that the emperor took great care of the sons of Xunjun Wangfu. Fourteen was very grateful and hoped that the emperor would continue to discipline the sons strictly.

The emperor felt relieved after reading it: he just read the fourteenth secret book at noon.

This time the oriole was crouching behind to guard the battle of Junggar. Although Shisi felt agitated because he was taken as bait and could not be the main force, he still understood the general situation. The [-] newest western torches requested by the Ministry of War were secretly given to Celen by the carts that delivered food during the New Year's Eve, to help his cavalry, which shows that he is sensible and general.

Years ago, everything went smoothly.

"In addition to personal achievements, a large part of a person's happiness index is the satisfaction of intimate relationships." Jiang Heng pretended to be reading Western books to Madam Yu.

In fact, she couldn't read all the Latin on it, but she just picked up a Western book as an excuse.

Nanny Yu obviously understood half of what she heard, but she still cheered and said, "Your Majesty is very knowledgeable and knows a lot of Western characters."

Jiang Heng is discussing Minmin's preschool education with Nanny Yu.

After one year old, Minmin can say some common short sentences, and she has more and more her own personality.

Being born as a princess, Min Min is extremely rich in material things, but since ancient times so many princesses have died prematurely, presumably when there is no shortage of food and clothing, mental and psychological problems are more important.

Jiang Heng remembers reading a report. It is said that Harvard University has tracked the lives of thousands of people for more than 70 years, and found that the vast majority of people's inner satisfaction and happiness do not come from achievement or wealth, but from the satisfaction of intimate relationships.

Jiang Heng has gone through one life after another, and found that this conclusion is still reasonable.

People will not feel happy if all the intimate relationships and even ordinary interpersonal relationships around them are in a state of collapse.

The human body is so complicated. After the basic physiology is satisfied, it will pursue a higher level of fulfillment, companionship, trust, concern, and love.

Yonghe Palace is Minmin's home.Jiang Heng hoped that she would grow up bathed in love and freedom here.If she wanted to say what expectations she had for Minmin's life, it should be that she lived happily ever after.

She has gone through life and death, and she is a noble person when she opens her eyes, and she has no choice.

Ke Minmin is not.

But all she can do is to provide Minmin with an environment, and in the end, Minmin must grow into a girl who is not twisted.

"Your Majesty's love for daughters is seen by all slaves and servants." Madam Yu is a person who has lived in the palace for a long time, and she quickly answered: "The princess is in this Yonghe Palace. Niang, the older you get, the less you can't have contact with the palace people. Although the princess is the master, but the princess is young, she must have big-hearted slaves who want to use the little master for personal gain. After many years in the palace, the slaves are I've seen it with my own eyes."

Sure enough, it was Nanny Yu. When Jiang Heng mentioned the first floor, she had consciously taken the elevator to the third floor.

Jiang Heng simply opened the skylight and said bluntly: "Since I got Minmin, she is a daughter, I have always paid attention to the situation of the princesses in the palace in the past."

In fact, there is no need to pay more attention. Many years later, the annals of history have recognized that the misery of the princesses of the Qing Dynasty can be counted in all dynasties.

It is a tragedy to marry Fumeng far away and never see her parents' homeland, and it is another tragedy to be famously ruled by the nanny.

In the Qing Dynasty, after marrying a son-in-law, a princess would live in her own princess mansion.Perhaps this rule is because the royal family loves their daughter, and they want their daughter to not live with her in-laws, but live in her own princess property to make her feel more comfortable.Unexpectedly, some black-hearted and deceitful slaves will be born.

Some wet nurses and grandmas think that they have been with the princess for many years, and the princess walks, sits, and sleeps are the rules they taught them, so they directly turn against the guests and block the door of the princess mansion. The money is given to the nanny, and if there is a little bit of dissatisfaction, she will not be allowed to see her. Many sons-in-law can't see the princess a few times throughout the year.

As for the princess, she couldn't even say that she wanted to be a son-in-law, she took the initiative to see her husband.Even if the word "consort" is only mentioned every day, Mammy will ask with a straight face that the princess has forgotten all the etiquette, righteousness, and shame she learned in the palace.

Ask Jiang Heng to say that a group of people can't write the word "honesty and shame", and even the nuns who don't have a heart in their stomachs are not worthy of saying these two words.

She stands on the shoulders of history. If Minmin lives like this in the future, she will really be at Naihe Bridge again, and Po Meng's soup will be too much to drink.

So she has always paid attention to Minmin's nurses and nannies, and never regarded them as her own people in Yonghe Palace.

Here are the palace rules for partial birth. If all the nursing mothers were dismissed, it would be completely unrealistic for her to watch over her daughter in the palace every day, and no one would agree to it since the Queen Mother.

Had to keep an eye on it.

But she herself looked at Minmin's surroundings, and she was always afraid that there might be omissions, so she explained the matter to Nanny Yu in advance, so that she could strictly prevent Minmin from being held hostage by the guardian nuns from the very beginning.

As the saying goes, three years old is old, and Minmin grows from a cautious growth stage. If she is frightened, it will be difficult to grow back in the future.

Nanny Yu understood Jiang Heng's meaning, not only immediately turned to this side, but also whispered: "Even if the queen mother knows, she will open her eyes and close her eyes. She also hates those restrictive people and loves to chew their tongues. The masters don't know how to treat a black-hearted nurse."

Among the emperor's wet nurses back then, there was one who took refuge with Empress Xiaoyi, and kept her mouth upside down, preventing the emperor from recognizing Wu Ya, and making the young emperor only see Empress Xiaoyi in his eyes—this may not be the order of Empress Xiaoyi, it can't be said It's just that the slaves use the little master as a raft to step on and climb, but the queen mother has suffered a lot.

Just as Jiang Heng finished talking about parenting scriptures with Nanny Yu, someone came to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to invite him.

She got up, changed her clothes, and went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.Before leaving, she looked at her pocket watch. At this hour, does the emperor have a new pet dog for her to see?

It wasn't until Jiang Heng arrived at the Hall of Mental Cultivation that he realized that it was not a new pet dog, but a new gashapon machine.

His gashapon machine seemed to arouse the emperor's interest in drawing blind boxes.

And the emperor's temper has always been that he must do everything he likes (of course, he must do everything he hates).No, the office made a Chinese New Year blind box.

Every year before the Spring Festival, important officials in the court will receive the word "Fu" from the court.

Although it is an imperial gift, it is basically not the emperor's pen and ink.The emperor's pen and ink are precious, and there are only a few pieces every year.

The emperor pointed to the newly built large-scale blind box machine: "There are 99 scrolls in here, and the blessing characters and couplets inside are nine scrolls written by me, 29 scrolls written by the thirteenth brother, and the rest are the transcription officers of the Imperial College. written."

In order to prevent handwriting cheating, the imperial examinations are all transcribed by special personnel. The handwriting of these people is neat and beautiful, and they can eat the country's food with one stroke.

But no matter how beautiful their handwriting is, the courtiers are still proud of the emperor's handwriting.

In the past years, there was a lot of intrigue for the imperial gift of pen and ink-Qu Yuan once compared himself to a beauty who was not favored by the king, to imply that his official career was not going well, but in fact, officials sometimes competed for glory with the harem.

Some people come to tell the emperor that their son is getting married this year, and some people cry to the emperor to beg for the pain of their old master's death. They are all royal family members with yellow belts and red belts, and first and second-rank officials. When Zhang Yubi was in use, it was truly a treasure trove.

After all, whoever has a piece of blessing written by the imperial pen, in the coming year, even if they have face and blessings, the New Year's wine will be placed throughout the first month, and it will look more glorious than others.

The emperor had a headache because of this matter in previous years, and said in his heart: All of my verdicts are filled with imperial pens, and I have never seen you all vying for papers to do errands.

This year, he looked at his son's twisting machine and thought of a way.

So next, when the clan and courtiers came to pay their respects, the emperor pointed at him: "I bestow my blessing on you, take it yourself."

It is God's will to draw whoever's blessing, so let's go honestly.

Sure enough, as soon as this move was made, the tumultuous begging for favor in his ears in the past suddenly stopped.

It's all about my own luck. If there is anything to say, I will continue.

After the new year, when the emperor came to the Yonghe Palace, he still smiled and said: "Your Mama is not lucky this year, and you only draw the transcribed blessings."

Jiang Heng said with a smile: "They are all blessings from the emperor, and they are all Long En. Ama must have praised them with joy."

Hearing what she said, the emperor recalled that Guan Bao never contended with others for his favor during the New Year's Eve, even though he was just promoted to earl last year, and his daughter gave birth to four princesses in the palace, he should be the most dignified Someone who came to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to ask for a copy of the imperial brush, but he didn't have one either.

I have always been honest when doing errands and doing things, and silent when I want to reward.

On the contrary, the emperor, only looking at Jiang Heng and Min Min, did not forget the newly sealed Su Yi Bo's mansion, and rewarded the imperial pen with the blessing.

Guan Bao came here to kowtow to thank him, saying that if the emperor has ordered, he will repay the king's kindness deeply, and he will not hesitate to die.

If this kind of person is not taken care of, it will make him suffer.

The emperor said: "Last year, Sui Minmin was still young, and you were still in the middle of the month. I heard that your mother-in-law entered the palace for the New Year, and she only stayed for a while. This year, you mother and daughter will talk more, and save it for dinner. You can go." Seeing Jiang Heng turning his head, the emperor knew what she wanted to ask: "Don't worry, the empress and the empress know about it. If I say this, I can't make you hard to be a man. "

Jiang Heng had nothing to say, only a smile remained: "The concubine thanked the emperor."

Jiang Heng didn't know what happened at the birthday party until he saw Erniang again during the Chinese New Year. Someone outside wanted to connect her with Dong E's family.
