Chapter 120

The eighteenth elder brother died of illness. Although the emperor had been depressed for a long time, after all, he had experienced a lot of bereavement pain, and there were many princes and grandchildren under his knees, so he quickly came out of the grief, unlike the secret concubine. Heartbroken.On the eve of the Longevity Festival, the palace had already started to be decorated with lanterns and festoons, so it was very lively, and this situation deeply hurt the heart of Concubine Mi.Over the years, a nobleman named Shi Changzai followed her gradually and gradually replaced her favored concubine. Now that she has no more favored young son, the pain in her heart is naturally indescribable.

"Don't keep acting like this, it's unlucky for the emperor to see it." Concubine Qin touched Concubine Mi's shoulder, leaned into her ear and whispered, "The imperial concubine is staring at you."

"I feel sad," said the secret concubine, who was wearing a moon-white dress with silver patterns embroidered with hundreds of butterflies today. Although the pattern is complicated and exquisite, the color is plain after all, and it is more conspicuous among the concubines in red and green. , No wonder Concubine Tong Gui looked over several times.She poured a glass of wine, "Yinyu has been weak since he was a child, and I put more energy on him than on Yinyu and Yinlu. Now he... how can I force myself to smile now?"

"There are a lot of people who have lost their children in this palace. If everyone is indulging in grief like you, how can there be a situation where Concubine Rong spoils the Sixth Palace like before." Concubine Qin flicked the phone on her wrist. Sapphire bracelet decorated with auspicious clouds, "The eighteenth elder brother is gone. You still have fifteen and sixteen elder brothers under your knees. How can you worry about not being favored by the past? If you don't know how to cheer up now, the only one who is proud is Shi Chang is following the likes of noble people."

"I understand what you're saying." As the favorite concubine who has entered the palace, Concubine Mi has fought to the death with Concubine Qin a few years ago, but Concubine Qin knows it well, so even if the emperor doesn't often go to her place now, she would I can live my little life with gusto.But what about her?She really liked the emperor, but seeing young and beautiful women entering the palace one after another, her only hope was to let her son be her favorite.So now even she herself doesn't know whether she is sad because of Yinyou's death, or because she will fall out of favor in the future.

"It's good that you understand in your heart." Seeing the emperor entrusting the empress dowager's phoenix, Concubine Qin nodded to Concubine Mi and got up to greet her.

Concubine Mi paused for a moment, then put on a smile, and followed Concubine Qin to greet her.Seeing Yinyi, the [-]th elder brother behind the emperor, and Hongxi, the eldest son of the crown prince, the concubine Mi couldn't help but squeeze the Luopa in her hand - in the past, the only one who followed behind the emperor was her Yinyou!

"The complexion of the concubine Mi is not very good. Could it be that she has not recovered from her illness a while ago?" After sitting down, Mrs. Guarjia approached Wanning and said, "But it was only two days ago that I heard that the concubine Mi was dead. Goodbye."

"I'm afraid it's a heart disease that won't heal." Wanning said, "This person talks a lot, so you should be more careful about what you say."

"I know." Mrs. Guerjia handed a snack to Mrs. Fujin Nala, King of Chunjun, "I'm just talking."

"Why do I feel familiar with the long attendant behind Prince Zhi?" Nala said, taking the chestnut cake from Guarjia.

Wanning glanced at it, and felt that the man in Tsing Yi who was behind Prince Zhi was indeed familiar.Take a closer look, isn't that Taoist Zhang Mingde?Prince Zhi was so bold that he even dared to bring a quack Taoist into the palace.

"Isn't this the Taoist priest Zhang Mingde?" Guarjia said softly.

"It seems that this Zhang Mingde is very trusted by Prince Zhi, and he even brought the emperor's birthday into the palace." Wanning and the Guerjia family exchanged glances, and they both remembered the "very expensive" that they heard in Prince Zhi's mansion back then. Words" fate.

"What are you whispering about?" Seeing Wanning and Guarjia muttering, Nala asked curiously.

"It's just that the person behind Prince Zhi is good-natured." Mrs. Guarjia said with a smile, "I seem to have seen it when I went to Prince Zhi's residence a while ago."

"So that's the case, I thought it was something." Nalashi and Chunjun Wang Fujin became more and more at odds with each other. Chunjun Wang Fujin didn't like Chunjun Wang, but she was the first wife after all, not named Nalashi She also has the ability to socialize, so Nalashi has never met Wanning and the others these days, and only at this kind of palace banquet has the opportunity to come out.

"Speaking of which, maybe I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing recently?" Wanning knew about the affairs of Chunjun Palace, but she was an outsider and it was hard to tell, so she could only ask from the side.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Nalashi took a sip of tea, "My lord loves me, so what if Fujin deliberately makes things difficult for me?"

"That's good." The situation of the Guerjia family is actually similar to that of the Nala family, but Prince Heng Fujin's temperament is not as tough as Chunjun Wang Fujin's, and his family background is not as high as the Guarjia family. There is also some lack of confidence.Mrs. Guarjia took a sip of the rose wine, "There have been many things during this period, and we haven't been able to talk properly. We can have a good gathering tonight."

Nalashi smiled and clinked glasses with Guarjiashi.

Naturally, Prince Zhi brought Zhang Mingde to the palace not only to bring him to see the world.He felt that Zhang Mingde knew astronomy at the top and geography at the bottom, so it would be a pity for his talent not to be an official in the court. What's more, now that Mingzhu has retired, there is no one he can fully trust in the court, so why not use Khan Ama's birthday Recommending him to Khan Ama is also a good way to place a confidant in the court.

Zhang Mingde changed his Taoist robe and changed into a blue robe, which is also a good look. He looks stable and honest, but his heart is no less scheming than the counselors in the court. climb up.For the emperor's birthday this time, he has prepared for a long time, and he must convince the emperor that he is a master of Taoism.

"I see that Prince Zhi seems to intend to let his long-term attendant celebrate the emperor's birthday, which is quite strange. I wonder what kind of ability that long-follower has?" It was Prince Yong's side Fujin Suo Chuoluo who spoke.Ever since returning from illness in the palace last year, Prince Yong has loved her even more.Now Suo Chuoluo is more than five months pregnant, and the child in her womb is probably the fourth elder brother Hongli in her previous life, but the time of birth is a bit wrong.

"You didn't visit Prince Zhi's mansion a few days ago, so I don't know. That person looks like Prince Zhi's long-term attendant, but he is actually a Taoist priest who can tell fortunes and play tricks." Tian Jiashi snorted, "This person is the most He will pretend to be a ghost, I am afraid that Prince Zhi will enter the palace to please the emperor."

When Suo Chuo Luo heard Tian Jia's strange words, although he felt surprised in his heart, he didn't show it on his face, he just stroked his stomach and watched the follow-up quietly.

Zhang Mingde really had some tricks, this trick of taking flat peaches from the air made everyone hold their breath, not to mention the following trick of displaying words on white paper.It was just a blank piece of rice paper, and Zhang Mingde only had to brush his palm over it, and the words "Fortune is like the East China Sea, longevity is better than Nanshan" appeared on the rice paper, with strong strokes, as if it was done by everyone.Hearing the exclamation of everyone present, Zhang Mingde took a lot of effort to suppress the smile on his face, and respectfully said: "The emperor laughed at the tricks."

The emperor glanced at Zhang Mingde indifferently, then turned to the queen mother and said: "The tricks that Yinbi found are not bad, does the queen mother like it?"

The queen mother nodded and said: "That child Yinyi is the most filial, knowing that the palace did not invite an opera troupe this year, so he specially selected one who knows some tricks, and his skills are not bad."

After listening to the conversation between the emperor and the queen mother, Zhang Mingde always felt that something was wrong, so he quietly raised his eyes to look at the emperor, but saw that the emperor looked at him like a dead person, his heart trembled, and he quickly lowered his head.

This is different from what he thought in his heart!

Kangxi had known for a long time that there was such a person by his eldest son's side, and what kind of "unspeakable" fate was approved to encourage Yinxuan to continue to seize the heir, isn't it for the future prosperity and wealth to be a marquis?Such an insidious and cunning person can never stay in this world.Kangxi smiled and poured a cup of sweet-scented osmanthus honey dew for the queen mother, and he had already drawn up the regulations in his heart.

"This Taoist priest really has two hands." Suo Chuoluo said with a smile, "When I was in my mother's house, I heard from the servants at home that there are many people in the market who can perform the trick of 'taking objects from the air'. It seems that This person should have learned a lot from others."

The female relatives sitting next to Suo Chuoluo really thought that Zhang Mingde knew the way of immortality, and that's why he had this ability.Hearing what Suo Chuo Luo said now, he probably understands that this Zhang Mingde is just a person trying to catch his name, and it is probably because he can say good things to please Prince Zhi that he can gain the trust of Prince Zhi.

Nala helped the gold-plated flower-piercing opera beads on the bun, and said: "What you said reminds me that the prince once sent a troupe into the mansion on Fujin's birthday, and there was an opera troupe in it." Knowing how to play such tricks, Fujin gave that actor a lot of rewards at that time. Prince Zhi has always been shrewd, why did he trust a wandering Taoist priest this time?"

"You will also say that he is a wandering Taoist priest, and maybe he has learned a few tricks to deceive people." Tian Jiashi smiled slightly, "Besides, Prince Zhi has done a lot of muddled things during this period."

Several people looked at each other, but did not answer.The emperor can comment on how Prince Zhi behaves, and the queen mother can comment, but they can't.Tian Jiashi also knew that he had said something wrong, so he took a sip of the wine in embarrassment, as if he had never said those words.

The candidate for the husband-in-law of the ten princesses, Kangxi, has been decided, and it is Taijidorji of Borzigit, Horqin, Mongolia.The ten princesses have also been canonized as Princess Heshuo Dunke, and they will be married after the Longevity Festival.What worries Kangxi now is the marriage of the emperor's granddaughters, especially Yinyi, who even said that he would betroth his three princesses to Cewang Allah Butan as his successor.

"Mafa, Hutuli is here to celebrate your birthday." Hutuli's arrival interrupted Kangxi's thoughts, "I wish Mafa a long life and good health."

"Good boy." Kangxi patted Hu Tuli's head, "Today is also your birthday, do you still like the BMW that Mafa gave you?"

"Granddaughter likes it." Hu Tuli's eyes lit up, "But Ama didn't let me approach, saying that the horse is still a bit wild, and I need to ask the master to train it for a while."

"That horse is a good horse, but you are not old enough to subdue this horse, so you, Ama, are right to do this." Although Kangxi likes gentle and elegant women, he doesn't like his granddaughters who are all raised. He looks delicate in a deep boudoir, so Hu Tuli's hearty and generous demeanor, which is not polite, is what he likes the most.

"Who gave that horse to Mafa?" Hutuli asked, "It must be someone like Baturu who can subdue this horse and send it to Beijing intact."

It was only then that Kangxi remembered that the one who presented this horse was the Tuxietu tribe of Mobei Mongolia, and the one who subdued this fierce horse this time was still a young man under his twenties, so it can be said that he is a formidable young man.

He is intending to ask that young man to stay in Beijing, but he can also examine his ability.If he is capable, then it is not difficult to marry him.He has given too much grace to Horqin, and he should always appease other Mongolian tribes.
