On the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, Concubine Yuan Shu safely gave birth to a princess in Qixiang Palace.Although she was a little disappointed that she was not a son, Yuan Shi was already satisfied, and occasionally felt that maybe the little princess who died young was reincarnated back to her side.The period of falling out of favor has made her see a lot, no matter how young she is, no matter how good her family background is, once she enters the palace, she can't rely on all these things.Newcomers keep coming, and there are many concubines with better family background than her. Only conceiving a dragon seed and giving birth to an emperor's heir is the most favorable condition for Jin Feng.

Those women who want to curry favor with the empress dowager are really confused. They are not favored by the empress dowager on weekdays. Is it possible that the empress dowager will be moved by the little food?Besides, that's also the filial piety of Concubine Niu Hulu, and now those concubines are using it as a trick with ulterior motives, so it's no wonder the Empress Dowager is happy.

"Is everything in place at Yuan's place?" An He was wearing a smoky purple cloak trimmed with silver thread and embroidered with a symmetrical honeysuckle pattern, and a smoky blue one-breasted vest with borders, holding a hand stove in his hand. , said to Shan Shan on the side, "Although the imperial doctor said that the mother and child are safe, we can't take it lightly."

"Everything is ready." Shan Shan replied, "Concubine Yuan Shu has had childbirth experience before, and she probably knows the taboo. The Ministry of Internal Affairs sent two nuns to explain the things that Concubine Yuan Shu should pay attention to after giving birth, and select another The wet nurses are also experienced, the master can rest assured."

"It's not that I can't trust the person picked by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it's just that Yuan's temper, I'm afraid that she will start to be complacent after giving birth." An He leaned on the big pillow behind him, "The New Year will be in twenty days. It's time for the Spring Festival clothes to be issued by the Ministry of Internal Affairs as soon as possible. The clothes on your body are old and the styles are not new. Let Jinxiu pick a few good ones from my library to make your own clothes, which will look better on you. "

"Thank you, master, for the reward." Shan Shan had a happy expression on her face, "I will tell Aunt Jinxiu later, servant girl."

"You make a set with amber, tourmaline, and pearl. Keep a low profile and don't be too ostentatious." An He took a sip of hot tea, "In addition to cutting some fabrics, I have to make two pieces for Yinxuan and Yin'er." A gown."

"Master is good to Sixth Brother and Tenth Brother." Shan Shan smiled and said, "I heard that the other elder brothers are very envious."

"Master," Jin Xiu walked in at this moment, "Third Master sent someone to deliver a letter to Master."

"Fu Bao?" An He reached out to take the letter, opened it and read it quickly.It was originally the content of this morning, and the Junggar Khan King Galdan began to gather cavalry to prepare for the battle. With the support of Tsarist Russia, Galdan added a lot of shotguns and artillery this time.This is not the reason why Fubao sent someone to send a letter to Anhe. The reason is that Kangxijin, the emperor of the early court, revealed his intention to lead the Qing army against Galdan himself!

An He frowned and put down the letter.If Kangxi really made up his mind to conquer Junggar himself, no one would be able to persuade him to change his mind.However, Kangxi has not issued a decree yet, and Fubao's letter probably wants her to prepare herself mentally.

During the twelfth lunar month, it snowed heavily in the capital for three days and three nights, and many houses in the suburbs of the city collapsed due to the snow.Kangxi had to raise food, grass, soldiers and horses to deal with the sudden attack of Junggar, and also deal with various government affairs. Since the twelfth lunar month, he has never set foot in any concubine's palace except Yuan's day of giving birth. The people in the harem could only see Kangxi once in a while in Ningshou Palace.

The little princess born out of the Yuan family looks very good, her gradually fair skin becomes more pink and translucent, and it can be seen that her eyebrows and eyes are [-]% similar to Yuan's.Yuan Shi was originally a gentle and graceful beauty, and the little princess would probably not be any different in the future if she followed her appearance.After the full moon, the little princess was carried to Anhe.

Galdan, who had been on the verge of moving, was silent for a while, and this new year finally passed quietly.The concubines who originally gave snacks to the Empress Dowager in the name of honoring the Empress Dowager also gave up on this idea. After learning that the snacks they made were rewarded by the Empress Dowager to the palace servants below, they probably also understood that they did this a little bit. There were no benefits, and the Empress Dowager didn't even look at anything other than the snacks offered by Concubine Niuhulu in Qixiang Palace, so she just gave up.

It was not until after the year that Kangxi set foot in the harem again.In April, Kangxi issued a decree to confer the eldest princess as Princess Heshuo Chunxi, referring to marry Horqin Taiji Bandi, and the wedding date is scheduled for November.At the same time, the Six Palaces were conferred, and Zhang Jia's concubine was conferred as Concubine Min, Wan Liuha Changzai as Dingguiren, Concubine Yuan Shu as Yuan Guiren, Concubine Wei Shu as Weiguiren, and Queen Han's family as Wang Changzai.Although he was a concubine, Kangxi did not intend to let Concubine Min move to the palace to take charge of the palace alone, but An He still sent the thirteenth elder brother back to Zhang Jia's side.

"It's time for me to congratulate you." An He smiled and said to the newly appointed Concubine Min.

"I still have to ask your mother to take care of me." Concubine Min came here with the thirteenth elder brother and the eighth princess, "Although I am a concubine, the emperor is afraid that it is because of my merits in giving birth. How many people in this palace My sister is more qualified than me, and now that I have such a canon, they don't like me. Not only those noble people, but even An Concubine, who has always been gentle with me these days, looks weird when she sees me."

"It's just a woman's jealous nature. You were concubine at such a young age. If you continue to be favored in the future, you will naturally have a promotion. But they feel that they are old and decrepit and will never be favored again. Naturally, they don't like you. Yes." An He asked someone to bring hot tea, "I know you are always cautious, as long as you don't make mistakes, they will just take advantage of their mouths at best, and they can't do anything."

"I know this too, but I always feel a little sad in my heart." Concubine Min stroked Elder Brother Thirteen's head, "At the beginning, I only got along with me because I was only a concubine, but now I'm canonized as a concubine and I'm so embarrassed. Any sisterhood is probably a lie."

"You don't need to pay attention to those people. Bring up Brother Thirteen well, and you won't be shamed in the future." An He said with a smile.

"To tell you the truth, the imperial physician told me a few days ago when he checked my Ping An pulse that I was two months pregnant, but now that I am in the limelight, I don't dare to publicize it everywhere." Concubine Min sighed.

"This is a good thing. You don't have to worry about other people's opinions. This is your blessing." An He hurriedly asked someone to pack up the gift, "I'll tell you about the empress dowager, you don't have to worry about it when the empress dowager comes forward .”

However, Concubine Min just smiled faintly, and there was still some depression in her eyes that couldn't be erased.

Not only the good news from Concubine Min, but Concubine Wen, who has been in the palace for many years, was finally diagnosed to be pregnant, and the date was close to that of Concubine Min.Concubine Wen entered the palace in the same year as An He. Seeing that An He already had two elder brothers under her knees but she had nothing to do, Concubine Wen was also sad and prepared to have nothing to do for the rest of her life. When she had already begun to accept this fact, such good news unexpectedly hit her head.

Before she could be happy for too long, in May, Galdan led his troops to commit crimes in the south. Kangxi finally ordered to conquer Junggar himself for rebellion, but the ministers tried to persuade him to no avail.The prince stayed in the capital to oversee the country, Prince Yu and Prince Gong led the left army, the elder brother went with the left army; Tong Guogang still led the right army.The two armies made a circuitous advance from the left and right wings, and were about to wipe out the Galdan rebels in the Ujumqin area.

"After I set off on the expedition, I will leave all the affairs in the palace to you." After setting the date of the expedition, Kangxi came to the palace of Anhe on purpose, "The empress dowager is not as good as before, and I have ordered the imperial physician to be on time every day. Please ask Ping An, you have to ask more, if you find something wrong, ask the prince to write to me immediately. And Concubine Wen and Concubine Min, they both have to take good care of them."

"Your servant knows, please rest assured, Your Majesty." An He asked someone to bring soothing soup, "Your Majesty has been busy with the battle these days, his eyelids are covered with bruises, and your servant has asked someone to cook soothing soup, and the emperor will drink it while it is hot." Go to sleep now."

"I'm not tired yet." Even though he said so, Kangxi still drank the Anshen Soup brought by An He, "Your brother is going out with me this time, are you worried?"

"Don't you worry about the emperor, don't you think the servant is cheating you?" An He handed over the handkerchief, "The servant only hopes that the emperor and Fu Bao can return safely. The emperor wants to personally conscript the Junggar slave. Even the servants are unwilling to watch the emperor fall into danger." Her sons are still young, so they cannot live without Khan Ama's protection for the time being.Besides, Mingzhu and Suo'etu both stayed in the capital this time, so she was even more worried.

"I will be fine." Although Kangxi's move was to deter the Junggar rebels, the more purpose was to boost the morale of the Qing army.Even if Kangxi wanted to fight the enemy, Prince Yu and Prince Gong would risk their lives to stop him. "I'm only arranging troops in the rear, and I'll leave it to Yinyi to go to the battlefield."

Big brother... An He lowered his eyes slightly.Prince Yu and Prince Gong are both good-natured people, can they suppress the elder brother's temper like a carbon explosion?I'm afraid that when the time comes, I won't get much credit for it, but I will make a mistake and let Kangxi, Khan Ama, clean up the mess.

"Brother is good at riding and archery, this time he will be able to make a contribution." An He said with a smile, "It's just that the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, the emperor still has to send someone to watch the elder brother carefully. Listen, servant It is said that ten bulls can't hold back a man's blood, and he is afraid that Galdan will use tricks to deal with him when he knows that Eldest Brother is on the battlefield."

"Don't worry, I've already made a perfect plan." Kangxi patted An He's hand, "I'm tired, wait for me to go to bed."

Kangxi never thought of it, he thought more thoroughly than An He.What kind of temper is Eldest Brother? He knows best as Ama, he is impatient and doesn't listen to persuasion. I'm afraid that when he goes to the battlefield, Prince Yu and Prince Gong will look down on him, not to mention that his brothers and sisters are all good-tempered. people.So Kangxi gave Prince Yu and Prince Gong each a secret decree, if the elder brother really disobeyed the military order, he would have to be arrested and detained directly regardless of his identity as the elder brother of the Qing Dynasty.

An He saw that Kangxi looked like an old god on the ground, and could only swallow all the words that came to his lips.

In late May, Yu Jia set off with the left army.
