Chapter 166 The Unruly Princess 16

Early the next morning, Kangxi went to the Empress Dowager's Palace to greet her.

The empress dowager had already dressed up and was waiting for him, "Emperor, I know you are filial, but you don't have to come here every day to pay your respects because you have a lot of work to do."

Kangxi said with a smile: "Greetings to the Queen's Mother is what I should do. No matter how busy I am, I shouldn't give up halfway."

The Empress Dowager nodded in relief, and started gossiping with him again, and deliberately avoided what happened recently to talk about other things.It seems that yesterday's apocrypha did not affect her in the slightest.

But the Queen Mother didn't mention it, so Kangxi had no choice but to mention it, saying: "The scriptures that the Queen Mother wanted, Xiao Guizi had already confiscated them from Aobai's mansion, but he lost it on the way back to the palace. Please forgive me, Queen Mother."

The queen mother said indifferently: "I already know about this matter. The little noble son came here yesterday to ask for a sin. It is just a scripture. If you lose it, you will lose it. Why does the emperor bother to mention it?"

Kangxi said: "The empress dowager has always been calm, she rarely asks her ministers for anything, and this time it is rare to ask. Xiao Guizi belongs to me, and his ineffectiveness is my negligence. You should ask the empress dowager for forgiveness."

The queen mother said: "The emperor is too humble, but it is the fault of his subordinates. The emperor must not blame himself too much."

Kangxi said: "Yes, I would like to follow the teachings of the Queen's mother, but since the Queen's mother is interested in studying Buddhist scriptures, I have already ordered people to send all the precious Buddhist scriptures in Da Nei to the Palace of Compassion, although it may not be as good as The one you personally asked for, but with so many collections, it is enough for the Queen to study for a while."

The empress dowager twitched her lips with a half-smile: "The emperor has a heart."

If Kangxi hadn't asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to adjust the list of changing utensils in the Empress Dowager's Palace, he really thought that the Empress Dowager didn't care.

She changed so many porcelain ornaments, didn't she smash it because she was in a bad mood!

But the more she tried to hide it, the more Kangxi felt that there was a problem.I have known for a long time that people in the palace have their own thoughts, not only in the corners, but also behind the doors.But this time he realized that the queen mother who had been very kind to him since he was a child didn't know what was on his mind, so it was very difficult to accept.

At this time, Caifeng Gege should have just woke up and came out yawning, saying: "Good luck, your majesty, you came so early to greet the empress dowager again!"

Kangxi said: "Excuse me." He inadvertently saw that the Empress Dowager's expression became much warmer after Caifeng came out, and he became thoughtful.

Caifeng may not be too sober yet, and because she has stayed in the palace for a long time, she has become a lot more courageous, and said: "The emperor wakes up so early every day, isn't he sleepy? The first thing you do when you wake up every day The thing is to pay respects to the Empress Dowager, so that the rest of the Compassionate Ning Palace cannot sleep late."

Kangxi frowned slightly after hearing her words, but he didn't show it on his face.

The Empress Dowager said sharply: "Presumptuous! How dare you comment on the emperor's itinerary. I think your courage is getting bigger and bigger. Hurry up and apologize to the emperor."

Who knows that Caifeng doesn't seem to be afraid of the Queen Mother, but she just stuck out her tongue playfully and restrained the lazy look on her face before, "Your Majesty, this servant is wrong, please ignore the villain, don't be as knowledgeable as me .”

Kangxi's face was always gentle, and he said: "You are still young, and you also like to sleep late, how can I be serious with you, get up." Although he was talking to this colorful phoenix, he kept paying attention to the Queen Mother from the corner of his eyes.

Sure enough, seeing that he didn't plan to pursue it, he looked relieved.

Kangxi said again: "Not only will I not be angry with you, but you can relieve the empress dowager in the Palace of Compassion and Peace, and I should reward you. What reward do you want?"

Hearing what the emperor said, Caifeng was very excited, but she glanced at the queen mother first, and seeing the queen nodded, she said: "Caifeng is following the queen mother, and there is nothing missing. I just hope that the emperor will go out to play next time." Take me with you when the time comes, and I'll be content."

Kangxi just nodded with a smile, without speaking.It seems that the Empress Dowager Palace already knew about his itinerary yesterday.

The Empress Dowager obviously didn't think there was anything wrong with Caifeng's proposal, and said at this time: "You children are playful, you can go out of the palace occasionally, but you must pay attention to safety."

Kangxi said: "What the Queen Mother said is true."

The queen mother said again: "Although Caifeng is my adopted daughter, she is also regarded as the emperor's younger sister in terms of seniority. She is the only one by my side. Don't blame me for loving her more. The emperor should not only have the third sister in his eyes, and take her with her occasionally." Play around and see that you brothers and sisters are in harmony, I have nothing else to ask for."

Naturally, Kangxi would not refute the queen mother for such a trivial matter, and readily agreed, saying that he would take more care of this little sister in the future.So the queen mother and Caifeng were very satisfied, so, with Kangxi's words, it was logical for Caifeng to go in and out of Qianqing Palace occasionally to find things.The empress dowager firmly believed that the emperor also had 42 chapters in her hands, and that she could run amok as an empress dowager in this palace, but she should not go to the emperor's bedroom and the place of discussion, so she entrusted the task to Caifeng Gege.

In fact, the queen mother already has three books of 42 chapters!This queen mother is actually a member of the Dragon Cult, and the first scripture was brought from the leader as a reference sample.It is said that the first sutra was snatched by Hong Jiaozhu from a high-ranking official banner owner. Not only did he learn the secret of the 42 chapters, but he also snatched the concubine who was the banner owner. Mrs. Hong, who called the wind and rain on Shenlong Island.The second one was found from Concubine Dong E's Chengqian Palace, and the last one was snatched by her palace guards.

If Kangxi knew that she already had so many scriptures in her hands, she would be shocked!It's a pity he doesn't know anything now.He even wondered if the queen mother's temperament has changed drastically in recent days, whether she has been persecuted by her natal family in Mongolia.

The Empress Dowager in the old palace of Fengtian received a letter from Aunt Su Mala in the palace, and at the same time received a letter written to her by Kangxi himself.Aunt Ma La sent her regular correspondence to report the situation in the palace and the emperor, which was specially ordered by the queen mother.

After the empress dowager put down the letter, she sighed: "My grandson, he does things vigorously and resolutely, which is beyond the surprise of an old woman like me!"

There are not many daughters-in-law left in her generation. Jianning's biological mother, Concubine Jing, is one of them. Because all these years, her heart is as calm as water and her heart is dedicated to worshiping Buddha, she is very close to the Empress Dowager, so she is willing to take her with her wherever she goes. At the side, Concubine Jing was waiting on the side, and asked softly: "I don't know what happened in the palace, which made the ancestors sigh so much?"

The Empress Dowager said: "I originally thought that the emperor was too young to govern himself, and the government was in the hands of powerful officials, so I could only endure and wait for the right time. I was also afraid that the emperor would be young and arrogant. Seeing that I had such a backer, I could not bear it." I can't help being the first to attack, and if things fail, I will be hit back. That's why I hid from Beijing. I thought that as a child, no matter how talented he is, he should not be able to do anything tricky. Seeing that our grandparents and grandchildren are scattered and separated by such a distance, it is impossible for the minister to take it in one fell swoop, so naturally he will not act rashly, but he did not expect it!"

Concubine Jing's heart was raised at this moment: "What happened in the palace?"

The Empress Dowager looked at her and said, "I thought you were really calm. It seems that Sangege's consolation will also make you worry."

Concubine Jing smiled bitterly and said, "Don't laugh at me, Queen Mother. Jianning has been blessed since she was a child. I never worried about her problems. Her emperor's elder brother is more dedicated than me as a mother. I am worried about us. Your majesty, he is still a child after all!"

The empress dowager said: "Don't treat him like a child, no matter how young he is, he is still a ruler. I just underestimated him, and I was so surprised this time, do you know? The emperor took over the military power and Ministers, you have taken Oboi down in one fell swoop!"

Concubine Jing was naturally very surprised. Even though she lived in the deep palace, she knew the structure of the court even in front of the Empress Dowager. I'm afraid it wasn't just them. The civil and military officials in the court had never expected that the young Kangxi There is such courage!

Concubine Jing said: "It seems that our Qing Dynasty is about to produce a generation of holy masters, who will build a foundation for all generations and create a generation of Kangxi prosperity."

The Empress Dowager closed her eyes and said: "Of course I hope so." Concubine Jing knew that the Empress Dowager's heart must be turbulent, so she gave her time to calm down knowingly.After a while, Concubine Jing said: "Since the cancer in the imperial court has been eliminated, shall we set off to return to the palace?"

The Empress Dowager had calmed down, opened her eyes and said, "Don't worry, I haven't lived enough in Fengtian's palace yet. The emperor's letter said that he will make a southern tour soon, and he will drop by Fengtian to pick us up at that time." Go back to the palace."

In the study room of Yuqing Palace, Jianning was reviewing the homework assigned by Kangxi.Mo Xiang escorted a young eunuch over, Jian Ning looked at it, he didn't look like someone from their palace, and asked, "What's going on?"

Mo Xiang said: "Back to Gege, this person was probing outside the palace, acting sneaky, the servants brought him back, wait for Gege to deal with him!"

The little eunuch said: "Hey, don't wrong the good man, can you please! I haven't done any bad things, so don't push Gege to send me off!"

Mo Xiangxiang said: "Spooping into Gege's palace is already a serious crime! You slave can even despise the rules of the palace! And you said you didn't have bad intentions! If you really did something bad, do you think you still have life? "

Xiao Guizi knew that the people in Yuqing Palace were strong in martial arts, and he was definitely not an opponent, so he also went out and said, "I am Xiao Guizi! The eunuch, the sixth-rank leader of the imperial dining room! You may have heard that I am the one who accompanied the emperor Zhi The one who captured Oboi! If there is something I can't go back to, the emperor will definitely look for me everywhere."

Mo Xiang just wanted to take action to teach him a lesson, so that he would not always be ashamed.

Jianning said at this time: "So it's Xiao Guizi. I said you look familiar. We met before."

Xiao Guizi naturally didn't dare to be as rude to Jianning as she was to Mo Xiang, so she kowtowed to Jianning again and said, "Sangege, this servant didn't mean to spy on the palace boldly, but I really want to know, what did you do last time?" What happened to the man you caught?"

Jianning said, "Oh, you're talking about Mao Shiba, right?"

After hearing this, Xiao Guizi thought it was over!They must have tortured Brother Shiba, otherwise how could Mao Shiba tell Tartar his real name with his stubbornness!

Wei Xiaobao: "What did you do to him!"

Mo Xiang patted him hard on the head: "Presumptuous! Don't be so rude to Princess!"

Jianning said indifferently: "I can't tell, but you are very loyal to that Jiangyang thief."

Wei Xiaobao thought to himself: It's over, it's over, even his old background as a Jiangyang thief was questioned, and he wanted to cry, "You guys just say it, is he dead or alive?"

Jianning hadn't finished her homework yet, and she kept on holding the pen while listening to Xiao Guizi. She motioned to Mo Xiang to tell him that she had to write for a while, and Mo Xiang understood, so she whispered to Xiao Guizi Mao Shi Eight has left the palace.

Wei Xiaobao obviously didn't believe it: "You guys would be so kind to let Eighteenth Brother out of the palace?" Seeing Mo Xiang's sharp eyes, he quickly changed his words and said, "I believe San Gege is kind and won't embarrass good people. If you say he's out of the palace, I will Don't worry! I won't bother San Gege anymore, the servant will leave!"

Unexpectedly, Mo Xiang was unmoved, and still held him on the floor of the study, waiting for Jianning's fate.

After a while, Jianning put down the pen in his hand, and said at this time: "You want to leave, how can it be so easy? Where do you think my Yuqing Palace is? If I let you go today, how can I establish rules in this palace?" ?”

Xiao Guizi looked at Jianning in disbelief, she was just a little girl, but he knew very well that this girl's status was extraordinary, and what she said was very strong to be realized, so her tone softened at this time, Begging for mercy: "I am the emperor's man, San Gege does not look at the face of the monk or the face of the Buddha, please let me go this time, the slave will never dare again."

Jianning said: "Don't worry, you are a celebrity in front of the emperor's brother. I will not do anything to you. Besides, the palace has its own rules. The masters of each palace are not allowed to lynch their slaves. They want to kill you and hurt you." I was afraid of getting my hands dirty, but you dare to be disrespectful to me, if I don't make an example to others, I will be in vain!"

Jian Ning said to Mo Xiang: "Take him down, do you have any means of not seeing the wound, just say hello to this Eunuch Gui, at least teach him a lesson, don't dare to spy outside our Yuqing Palace again next time, Or dare not act wild in front of your face."

Mo Xiang said: "Yes!"

Xiaoguizi Wei Xiaobao couldn't help but widen his eyes as he was pulled away by Mo Xiang, knowing that San Gege asked this very powerful court lady to lynch him, and he still had no evidence, so he yelled loudly: "San Gege, you, you So vicious! Wait a minute! Woo..."

Jianning raised his hand, "Let him talk!"

So Mo Xiang put down the hand that blocked his mouth.

Xiao Guizi took a deep breath and said, "Sangege, you secretly arrested an unknown person in the palace and then released them from the palace, are you not afraid that I will tell the emperor?"

Jianning smiled: "Very well, you are so courageous that you dare to threaten me, you can give it a try, tell the emperor about it, and see if it is me who hurts you or the emperor puts you first." Kill this accomplice of the rebellious party. Because of your nonsense, the punishment will be doubled!"

Since then, Xiao Guizi won the appreciation of the emperor and the queen mother in the palace, confessed to the emperor and verified her integrity, and the official became higher and higher.But no matter how many rewards he got, how high his official promotion was, he would always take a detour when he passed Yuqing Palace, seeing Jianning was like a mouse meeting a cat, like facing an enemy.

Because of this, there are rumors in the palace that although Jianning Gege looks quiet and beautiful, he is actually very unruly and capricious, and even the celebrities in front of the emperor are deeply poisoned.
