Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 70 Longevity Chapter "Great Gift"

"Hasn't Khan Ama come to see Er Niang these days?" Yin Zong saw that Er Niang was sitting in front of the embroidery frame holding a needle and thread, took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from her forehead, and then asked Jin Xiu in a low voice.I heard that Khan Ama often takes time to accompany his mother-in-law during this time, why is there no movement today?

"I just came here the day before yesterday. I heard that the emperor is busy with government affairs recently, and the master also persuaded the emperor to take care of the government affairs." Jinxiu asked someone to fetch a new set of clothes, "Master, I can't smell anything else now, the sixth elder brother will go to wipe it first. Wipe yourself and change your clothes."

Yinxuan nodded.The prince said that there was an urgent message from Shengjing a few days ago, and it seemed that Khan Ama was going to deal with it.After changing into a set of royal blue uniforms and having her braids re-combed, Yinzuo came up to An He to see what An He was embroidering.Taking a closer look, it turned out to be a small bellyband in the shape of a crabapple, and she curled her lips unconsciously.

"Why are you here today?" An He asked Feiqing to cut the silk thread, put the silver needle in his hand aside, and then smiled, "Where's Yin'er?"

"Today, Ama Khan came to the study to inquire about homework, but Yin'er couldn't recite it, so the prince took her to Yuqing Palace to make up lessons." Yinzhu said with a smile, "I heard from the prince that there was news from Shengjing that Yuan Taizu Genghis Khan The descendants set out from Tamir, where they live, to submit to the Qing Dynasty, and Khan Ama was overjoyed, and he has been busy preparing to receive this group for the past few days."

"I also listened to it. I heard that they are the direct descendants of Yuan Taizu?" An He asked with great interest.

"That's right, that's why Khan Ama valued it so much." Although the Horqin tribe is also a descendant of Yuan Taizu, in terms of bloodline nobility, it is still inferior to Tamir's tribe.Seeing that his mother-in-law didn't become happy or disappointed because of Khan Ama's arrival or departure, Yinxuan once again affirmed in her heart that her mother-in-law's affection for Khan Ama was not as affectionate as other empresses in the harem.

But that's fine too.

"In half a month's time it will be your Khan Ama's Longevity Day. What kind of gifts have you prepared?" Although Yinzhuo has not yet entered the court as an official, most of the gifts still have to be arranged peacefully.But after all, he is 13 years old, some things have to be prepared by himself to show filial piety, even if it is not the most expensive, it can make Kangxi happy.

"My son has already been prepared, so don't worry, Erniang." Yinzhuo said with a smile, "Last year, my son hunted other furs in the Mulan paddock. Except for the part that was sent to Erniang, the remaining ones are still available for us to buy." They were made into buckskin boots and cloaks, although they are not very expensive, but after all, they were brought back by the son himself, and they are going to be presented to Khan Ama.”

An He nodded.As the emperor, Kangxi had never seen anything expensive, and the clothes made of leather hunted by Yinzhuo himself should be more liked by Kangxi.An He thought of the gift list he had drawn up before, and asked someone to take it over and write the things Yinzheng had prepared on it with his own handwriting, and then put it away again.

"Er Niang is getting heavy now, so don't work so hard." Yin Zong looked at his Er Niang's belly, and vaguely heard that this baby was a younger sister, so he said gently, "Gu Si beside my son is pretty good at things. Aunt Jinxiu and Aunt Feiqing at Erniang's place are also very safe, just leave Erniang's affairs to them."

"You have to take a look to avoid mistakes." It's not that you don't worry about them, it's just that these gift lists can only be cleaned up after announcing and nodding. There is also the marriage of the third elder brother in Yue."

"Then Er Niang also needs to pay attention to rest well." Yinzuo still said something worried.After having dinner with An He, he secretly told Jin Xiu to take care of her, and then led Gu Si back to elder brother's place.

March 40th is the Longevity Festival, and this year is Kangxi's [-]th birthday, so the celebration is particularly grand.Kangxi invited civil and military officials to a banquet in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. The crown prince and all the elder brothers came out as companions. The festive words flowed like flowing water. Kangxi stroked his specially long beard and watched with satisfaction the prince and the ministers. They made friends with each other for a long time, but the corner of his eyes caught the gloomy and uncertain expression of the elder brother, and his eyes sank instantly.

I remember that Li Dequan once reported to him that some of the nails placed in Yuqing Palace were under the orders of Concubine Hui, and Kangxi himself understood what was going on.He has never loved Concubine Hui very much. Among the women who entered the palace back then, he liked Concubine Rong and Concubine Yi more, but it was fate that allowed Concubine Hui's child to become the eldest son of the emperor.Kangxi also loves Yinyi very much, but it doesn't mean that he can tolerate Yinyi's thoughts that he shouldn't have.Over the years, he has neglected Concubine Hui and cut her the right to assist the Six Palaces, restricted Yinyi to prevent him from cultivating influence in the Ministry of War, and even dealt a blow to the Mingzhu Party, but Concubine Hui and the boss still did not give up.

"Why does Ama Khan look unhappy again?" Yin'e took a small sip of wine, stuck out her tongue, and then went to Yinxuan's side and said, "Who doesn't have eyes so much that annoyed Ama Khan today?" ?”

"Guess?" Yinzuo took a bite of the jade shoots and bracken, and seemed to be unclear, but he was actually guessing in his heart.I heard that Eldest Brother has recently started to flirt with Master Mingzhu again. Could it be that Khan Ama is upset because of this matter?But today Eldest Brother didn't get very close to Master Mingzhu, even if Eldest Brother was stupid, he would know that Khan Amma must be looking for death if he angered Khan on this great day.Yinxuan shrugged indifferently, left and right have nothing to do with him, just ignore it.

"If I can guess it, I won't ask you." Yin'e pouted, "The banquet is really boring, why don't the two of us go back to Qixiang Palace to accompany Er Niang."

"This time is a banquet for the civil and military officials of the previous dynasty. Be careful not to let people see your lazy appearance. Er Niang doesn't allow us all to drink," Yin Zhe looked at Yin'er's wine glass, and ordered behind him The little eunuch said, "Come change the tea."

"Brother, look, the starling is talking to the king of Anjun." Yin'e looked around boredly, and when he saw the eighth brother greeting the king of Anjun, he bumped Yinzuo's shoulder gossip He said, "I heard that Myna is going to marry the niece of Prince An in a few years. Brother, do you think Myna is trying to find out about the temperament of his future daughter-in-law with Prince An?"

"When did you become as fond of inquiring about these things as a gossip woman?" Yinxuan was still drinking tea just now, and was bumped into by Yin'e and almost poured the tea in the cup on himself. He reluctantly put down the teacup in his hand, bent over He raised his index finger and tapped Yin'er's head hard before saying, "I heard that you and the ninth brother often play with the eighth brother? His mind has always been unpredictable. Over the years, people in the palace have often heard that he is as gentle as jade." , if this kind of scheming is on your head, you probably don't know it yet."

"I don't play with him often, it's just that Brother Nine said that Brother Nine is good at reading and he can ask for advice, so he insisted on pulling me over." Yin'e muttered, "I'm not really stupid, should I? I know that I have a deep friendship with starlings."

As long as you really understand, you are afraid of being coaxed.Yinxuan glanced at the eighth elder brother who was smiling gently. The ninth brother seemed to be coaxed away by him. It seemed that he had to have a good talk with the fifth elder brother.

After entertaining all civil and military officials, Kangxi had just returned to Qianqing Palace to change into ordinary clothes and set off for Ningshou Palace, but Li Dequan hurried over just after taking off the court beads, and whispered back: "Your Majesty, the slave just now Some clues have been found, Hesheli's family and Yehenala's family have each arranged for people to enter Yuqing Palace!"

Kangxi was still holding a handkerchief for wiping sweat, and when he heard Li Dequan's reply, he threw it on the ground angrily. Although there was no sound, Li Dequan clearly felt the suffocating majesty brought by the superior, and he slapped Shimmering quickly knelt down, not daring to look at Kangxi's expression at this time.

"Have they all been asked?" By means of a small selection, Kangxi replaced a batch of suspicious servants under the Yuqing Palace. This time, Kangxi personally took care of them. The family background and connections of the servants were all investigated by Kangxi. He arranged to go in only after he felt that it was correct, and then ordered Li Dequan to inquire quickly, and sure enough, other behind-the-scenes people were involved.

"Yes." Li Dequan took out a confession from his sleeve and submitted it.

After Kangxi browsed quickly, the coldness in his eyes became more and more obvious.The servants sent in by Yehenala's family were all instructed by Nalan Mingzhu, in order to inquire about every move of Yuqing Palace, and they did not differ from Concubine Hui's thoughts.It was the Hesheli family who sent four delicate and charming maids and two handsome eunuchs, what kind of idea did they have!He also said that it was a gift for Baocheng's wedding celebration, how could anyone send a gift to a servant who had been trained by Jiaofang!But Baocheng believed in the Hesheli family so much, and took the decision and took it into Yuqing Palace without investigating.

Kangxi was so angry that he wanted to smash all the things on the imperial case. Mingzhu and Suo'etu were not easy-going people. To do such small tricks under his nose, did he really treat him as an emperor in name only?If Baocheng was really seduced by those servants, the four court ladies would be fine, but if there were rumors that the current crown prince and the little eunuch were unclear, would Baocheng's reputation be worth it!

"You dispose of the six servants sent in by Hesheli's family, and you must make sure that no one can find out their whereabouts." Kangxi took a deep breath, "Send Guo Xiu to come in after the next day. I have something to order. You can’t say a word about today’s matter, or I will kill your head.”

"The servant complies with the order." Li Dequan quickly responded.

"I also learned that the Crown Princess will be in charge of this matter." Kangxi pondered for a moment and then said, "From now on, the Crown Princess will be fully responsible for the affairs of Yuqing Palace." Even if he was Baocheng's Ama, he did not always take care of Baocheng The possibility of the end.When the child grows up, he should be allowed to go on his own path in the future, and everything will be taken care of for him, so it is impossible for Baocheng to truly grow up.

"Whoo."

After tidying up his mood, Kangxi changed his clothes and went to Ningshou Palace.However, what was found made Kangxi's mood drop to the bottom after all, no matter how well it was concealed, someone would always be able to see it.Seeing Kangxi staring at Concubine Hui with a gloomy face from time to time, An He exchanged glances with Concubine Yi, although not gloating, but there was a bit of hope for a good show.
