Kangxi shook his head with a smile when he learned about the brothers' actions.He sighed: "The boss and the third child are still not calm enough in their actions, and they need to sharpen. However, they have begun to learn to care about their siblings, which is always a good start. As the saying goes, brothers who fight tigers are brothers, and fathers and sons fight together. In the future, if I want the Qing Dynasty to be prosperous and powerful, and the country will last forever, it will not work alone, and I need all the brothers to work together. I don’t want the boss and the third child to really regard those who are not from the same mother as theirs. Brothers, as long as they can maintain a good relationship with those few, it is enough, it is better than ignoring them."

"What the emperor said is very true." Liang Jiugong said on the side: "The elder brother and the third elder brother are a bit younger after all, and I am still half a child. I don't know how to take care of my younger brother. It's true. I will take it slowly in the future. Erdi is getting along with the brothers below, and the emperor is teaching from the side, so it's fine. The prince and the fourth elder brother have gotten along quite well recently. The slave looks at it, it's a bit like the emperor and Prince Yu. appearance."

Prince Yu is the second son of Shunzhi, Kangxi's elder brother Fuquan, and the relationship between Kangxi and this elder brother is quite deep.When Shunzhi asked several children about their aspirations, Fuquan replied "willing to be a virtuous king" instead of competing with Kangxi, and won the favor of Kangxi and the empress dowager who was the empress dowager at the time.After Kangxi ascended the throne, he also contributed a lot to Kangxi's pro-government. Kangxi had a deep relationship with this elder brother, and naturally hoped that the future heir he had chosen by himself would also have a brother beside him, so that they could compose a virtuous king together. King's story.

Liang Jiugong was obviously very clear about Kangxi's preferences. When he said this, Kangxi, who was still frowning just now, immediately raised his eyebrows.

"Baocheng is indeed calmer than his two brothers. He has always been smart and is very in line with my wishes. Yinzhen is also a good person. The imperial concubine taught him very well." Speaking of Yinzhen, it is inevitable to think of him. The birth mother was a noble man, Kangxi sighed: "Fortunately, Yinzhen was carried to the imperial concubine's side as soon as he was born. Otherwise, I don't know what he would be taught by a noble man. Those who are born in a coat will not be on the stage."

Now, when Kangxi mentioned the noble man, he was full of disgust, and he never saw the praise and love for the noble man when he was in love with the noble man.

Kangxi can say that his concubine is not good, but Liang Jiugong can't follow suit. Therefore, he just praised Tonghuangguifei: "What the emperor said is that the imperial concubine is graceful and magnanimous. When the eighth elder brother made the case, he also personally reprimanded the steward of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and ordered him not to behave like this in the future. The imperial concubine said that it is not only the Xianfu Palace of the good concubine, but also the masters and young masters of the other palaces. Brother Gege, the Ministry of Internal Affairs must not be negligent. No matter how low their status is, they are still the emperor's concubines and heirs. Now, in this harem, who doesn't praise the emperor's noble concubine for being kind and wise?"

Kangxi nodded when he heard the words, with approval in his eyes: "The imperial concubine always does things according to my wishes. I am very relieved to have the imperial concubine to help me manage the harem."

He has many concubines and many sons. Although he himself doesn't care much about those lowly concubines and their offspring, they are his concubines and offspring after all. Naturally, he doesn't want to see them being neglected and despised.

Kangxi didn't even bother to mention the ones he didn't like, but he was never stingy in rewarding and praising the ones he liked.

"It's been five years since Empress Xiaozhao passed away. I intend to make an imperial concubine as empress. What do you think?"

Kangxi's plain words sounded like a thunderbolt to Liang Jiugong's ears.

Liang Jiugong was shocked by his sudden words for a moment, and after he came back to his senses, he quickly lowered his head: "Your Majesty, the establishment of an empress is a major event for the country, and my slaves dare not discuss this matter."

Although Concubine Tong is now the deputy queen in command of the harem, she is only one step away from the queen.But if she really became a queen, the pattern of the harem would be different.

Kangxi saw that Liang Jiugong seemed to be stupefied by his own words, so he couldn't help but smiled: "I just asked casually, and you answered according to your thinking, is it possible that I punished you for this?"

If the answer is not good, you will really be punished!Such an important matter, why did the emperor come to talk to a small servant of him, shouldn't it be discussed with the gang of ministers at the court meeting?Liang Jiugong complained in his heart, but since Kangxi said he wanted to listen to his thoughts, he had to answer.He thought for a while, and said: "If you want to be a queen, in terms of the qualifications and reputation in the current harem, the imperial concubine is the most qualified to be the empress. If the emperor surpasses the imperial concubine and appoints someone else as the empress, how can the empress be so embarrassing?" ?”

While talking, Liang Jiugong looked at Kangxi's face, a little trembling.He didn't let go of his hanging heart until he saw Kangxi stroking the jade wrench finger with satisfaction in his eyes.

It seems that what he said is in line with the emperor's wishes.Although the emperor seemed to be impulsive, he asked this question.But since this question will be asked, it means that the emperor has already thought about this matter, and the imperial concubine is very likely to be crowned empress in the near future.In the future, when he met the imperial concubine, he had to be more respectful.There are also the fourth elder brother and the eighth princess. If Concubine Tonghuang really becomes the queen, the fourth elder brother and the eighth princess will also be the emperor's sons and daughters.

Although no one in the harem dares to neglect the fourth elder brother and the eighth princess, they still have to follow the rules when they are treated.In the future, they will become the sons and daughters of the harem, so the treatment will naturally have to be raised, it must be below the prince and above the children of the other concubines.

Kangxi thought for a moment, and then asked another question: "I remember, you mentioned to me that the eighth elder brother used the opportunity of the third elder brother to visit him in his palace, so that the third elder brother discovered that the Ministry of Internal Affairs has been embezzling What do you think about his and Concubine Liang's duty, how about Eighth Brother?"

When Liang Jiugong heard this question, his scalp felt numb, and he wondered if the emperor deliberately made things difficult for him today by asking these difficult questions.Liang Jiugong knew that Kangxi had never liked the concubine Liang's mother and son. If he praised the eighth elder brother too much, Kangxi would not be happy, but the eighth elder brother was Kangxi's son anyway. If Liang Jiugong said that in front of Kangxi's If he speaks ill of his son in front of him, he will definitely not be happy, which is really sad.

Liang Jiugong felt that he really walked on the edge of the cliff several times today.

He thought about his choice of words, and said: "My servant thinks that Brother Ba is quite intelligent and filial. He knows how to protect his mother at a young age, and he is a filial person. However, his relationship with his brothers... Not as good as the rest of the elder brothers..."

"Hmph, it's filial to be filial to his mother, but he was so thoughtful at such a young age that he even took advantage of his own elder brother. He is not likable after all. However, the third elder brother is not a good brother, so it is no wonder that the eighth elder brother Not much brotherhood for him."

To put it bluntly, concubine Liang and Yinhu's mother and son were actually the victims of this incident, but Kangxi was not happy with Yinhu's handling of this incident.If there is a different way of dealing with it, such as asking Concubine Tong directly, and Concubine Tong investigates and resolves the matter, and Concubine Liang's mother and son cry, maybe Kangxi will feel more pity for Concubine Liang's mother and son.But now, although Concubine Tong Huanggui still came forward, and the rights of Concubine Liang's mother and son should not be deducted in the future, Kangxi felt that Yinhu would do anything to achieve his goal, so he couldn't like this son.

If Kangxi's initial favorability for the prince is ten points, nine points for the elder brother, and seven or eight points for the other elder brothers, then his initial favorability for Yinhu is only five points.In this case, Kangxi will inevitably be more picky about Yinhu.

"Concubine Liang comes from a low-low background, so she can't teach the eighth elder brother well. You said, if I let the imperial concubine teach the eighth elder brother, how about letting Yinzhen take care of the eighth elder brother when Yinzhen grows up?"

No matter, I am afraid that the imperial concubine will not be happy. Firstly, it is troublesome, secondly, it is a very offensive thing to separate mother and child, and thirdly, the scene of asking the fourth elder brother to bring the eighth elder brother is really beyond imagination. ah!

The fourth elder brother always has a serious face on weekdays, so that the crown prince's greatest pleasure is to make the fourth elder brother change his face when he is teaching the fourth elder brother. Tell him what to do, what not to do... Sorry, that picture is so beautiful.

Liang Jiugong racked his brains, and finally said tactfully: "Does the emperor want to discuss with the imperial concubine? The imperial concubine is very busy with palace affairs, and she has to take the fourth prince and the eighth princess with her. I am afraid that she does not have much time to spend on the eighth princess." On Elder Brother. But if you let Eighth Elder Brother go to Changchun Palace from time to time, learn the words, deeds and demeanor of the imperial concubine, and develop a relationship with Fourth Elder Brother and Eighth Princess, maybe it is feasible."

Kangxi thought for a moment, and said: "You are right, I will go talk to the imperial concubine, if the imperial concubine has no objection, then let's do this."

"Dare to ask the emperor, these days, the third elder brother is helping the eighth elder brother. If the eighth elder brother often runs to the Changchun Palace, what arrangements do you have for the third elder brother?"

Kangxi waved his hand: "Let the third elder brother take the book to read to the ninth elder brother every day. Anyway, he is just pretending to take care of the eighth elder brother. It is better to let him read in front of the ninth elder brother. First, you can let Let him consolidate his knowledge, and secondly, teaching his younger brother to read early can also make his younger brother smarter."

"Yes."

That night, Kangxi went to Changchun Palace to discuss the matter with Concubine Tong Huanggui.

Regarding Kangxi's request, as long as it is not very embarrassing, Imperial Concubine Tong will not refuse. After she accepted the matter, she asked: "Does the emperor want eighth elder brother to come to Changchun Palace every now and then?"

Kangxi thought that the prince often went to Changchun Palace to tutor the fourth elder brother's homework recently, so he said: "It's not necessary, just let him come for two or three days every ten days, although I want you to teach him, but I can't do it because of him." Delayed you and Si elder brother."

"The concubine understands, and the concubine will go back to convey the emperor's meaning to the concubine Liang and the eighth elder brother." Concubine Tong hesitated, and said: "Actually, although the concubine Liang came from a lower family background, she kept her own life on weekdays and did not give birth. What happened. The eighth elder brother is also a smart and sensible child. Teaching him will not be too much effort for the concubine. The courtier knows that the emperor does not like the eighth elder brother's way of doing things, but he is still young after all. He naturally wanted to speak out when he was wronged. He did not act well, and that was because no one taught him. In the future, his concubines will slowly teach him these things. At that time, the emperor will not allow him to be dissatisfied with him like this. Joy is written all over his face."

Concubine Tonghuang said half-jokingly.

Kangxi pinched her nose: "You are amazing, you still control me."

Concubine Tong Huanggui smiled: "Then will the emperor let the concubine take care of it, or not let the concubine take care of it?"

"If it's someone else, I won't let her take care of it, but since it's my cousin's request... I have to give you face..."

That night, Kangxi stayed in the Changchun Palace, and was turned into a red wave, and the room was charming.

On the second day, after Kangxi left, Hui Ye asked while helping Concubine Tong to dress up: "Your Majesty, the mother and son of a good concubine are not valued by the emperor, and there is nothing extraordinary about them. Why did you bother to stand for them in front of the emperor yesterday?" say good things?"

Concubine Tong Huang looked at her increasingly black hair and exquisite face in the bronze mirror, and she was in a good mood: "Although this child Yinhu is young, I see that he will not be a thing in the pool in the future. Take care of their mother and child, maybe in exchange for him to help Yinzhen or Qionghua one or two. If not, there is no harm for me to have some good karma in this harem."

Most of the high-ranking concubines in the palace were at odds with each other, forming their own camp, fighting endlessly for the favor, the family, and the future of their children. For these people, Concubine Tong was destined to have no way to win over them.

But the middle and low-ranking concubines are different. If Tong Huang Guifei can take care of those mid- and low-ranking concubines a little while managing the sixth palace, the lower concubines will naturally have a good impression of her.Although Concubine Tong's move is to stand up for the mother and son of the good concubine, those concubines who are not favored and have low status will all benefit from her move.

Concubine Tong Huanggui is not an ambitious woman. All she does is to make her children's future journey smoother.She expects nothing from her sons and daughters except that they will be successful in life.As for making Yinzhen compete with the crown prince like Yinzhen, using the power of the Tong family to pave the way for Yinzhen, Imperial Concubine Tong never thought about it.

Standing in the current position of Concubine Tonghuang, she also understands that Kangxi does not allow those who manage the harem to have too strong ambitions.When ambition is strong, many troubles will arise.

Concubine Hui, for example, was born well and had the eldest son of the emperor, but she could only occupy the position of concubine and could not go any further. Apart from her lack of holy family members, it was because she was too ambitious.If her status is mentioned again, it will not be conducive to the stability of the harem, and it will also pose a threat to the prince.Concubine Tonghuang was able to be ranked as the deputy queen, not only because she was Kangxi's cousin, but also because she had a clear view of what she admired and feared about Kangxi.

"So that's how it is. Your Majesty is really far-sighted." Hui Ye said in admiration: "This servant girl is a little less knowledgeable. I only know that the emperor doesn't like the concubine Liang's mother and son. When you spoke for the concubine Liang's mother and son yesterday, the servant girl was worried that you would annoy the emperor. .”

"The emperor will not be angry because of such a point. Some people in the palace can't figure out the emperor's preferences. They always think that the emperor is moody, but in fact, as long as the emperor's bottom line is not stepped on, the emperor is quite easy to talk about."

If people outside listened to Concubine Tong Huanggui's words, they would probably complain.

Kangxi is easy to talk?That is also divided.He is naturally quite patient with the daughters of important ministers and high-ranking concubines.But if it is for those low-ranking concubines, do you expect Kangxi to listen to them carefully and consider their ideas?That's simply not possible.

"By the way, Concubine Liang said yesterday that she will send Yinhu over to practice calligraphy today. Calculating the time, he should be here later. You order the small kitchen to prepare some Yikehua pastries for Yinhu. Go tell the fourth elder brother Here is a letter to tell him to come back to Changchun Palace as soon as possible after class today."

Today, Kangxi is going to help the prince with homework, and the prince can't take care of the fourth elder brother for the time being.The fourth elder brother who is free can teach his younger brother to practice calligraphy, or in other words, accompany his younger brother to practice calligraphy. After all, the fourth elder brother can't read all the characters himself.

"Yes." Hui Ye took the order and left.

Qionghua was so bored, she lay on the bed and looked at the big characters left by the fourth elder brother, carefully read them over and over again, trying to remember these words in her mind.That's right, she is also ready to start learning characters with her brothers.Otherwise, it would be really boring to eat, eat and sleep in Changchun Palace every day.If she could read and write, she would be able to secretly find a book to read while her mother was unaware in the future.

Unexpectedly, her "dangerous behavior" was seen by Hui Ye, and Hui Ye hurriedly carried her back to the inner side of the bed, and removed the words that attracted her attention: "Little princess, you must be careful." Don't come to the bed again in the future, it's so dangerous, what if you fall?"

Qionghua: "qaq".

How can she convince Hui Ye that she won't fall.She just wants to learn a word, why is it so difficult?

In Xianfu Palace, Yinhu, who had been left alone all this time, took out the Three Character Classic given to him by Yinzhen, prepared his pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and set off for Changchun Palace.Starting today, he will enter a literate life ahead of schedule.

Yinhu privately felt that Kangxi must have seen that other sons were so busy, so he couldn't see him idle, so he must find something for him to do.However, there is no harm for him to walk around Changchun Palace from time to time. Firstly, Concubine Tonghuang is amiable and not difficult to get along with. Auntie.

As for the third elder brother, when he knew that the new task he was assigned was to teach a baby doll, he fell into silence.

As for Concubine Yi, when she heard that Kangxi had arranged for the third elder brother to teach her son early education, she also looked confused.After her eldest son, the fifth brother, was often approached by the eldest brother, could her infant ninth brother finally be unable to escape the claws of the top elder brothers?
