Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty

Chen Xiuming felt that Kangxi was a little different these days, and she couldn't tell what was different, so she put it aside after thinking about it for a while.

Kangxi was also always thinking about that dream, and when he thought of Chen Xiuming's face in the dream like a dying person, he felt very uncomfortable. After that, he asked the imperial doctor to ask for the Ping An pulse every day, and he also paid attention to Chen Xiuming all the time. Is Xiu Ming feeling unwell?

It was not until the eve of New Year's Eve that Chen Xiuming felt no discomfort, and Kangxi was slightly relieved.

This year is destined to be very lively. Kangxi has already told everyone in the harem and elder brothers and ministers that a banquet for thousands of elders will be held in the first month.

Everyone in the harem also got busy this time. Because Chen Xiuming had the highest status, Kangxi asked her to be the leader, and let several concubines who had already dealt with this matter assist in making arrangements together.

If Chen Xiuming was the leader, she let Concubine De and others do it.

"I invite you here today for no other reason than a feast for thousands of seniors." In the afternoon when Kangxi and Chen Xiuming talked about it, Chen Xiuming called everyone from the harem to Yongshou Palace.

"Long live Lord, because I have the highest status in the harem, I wanted to let me preside over it, but I don't understand this, so I have to let you bother." Chen Xiuming has never dealt with this kind of thing, She didn't want to bother, so she had already discussed with Kangxi, she was just a name.

As for the dedicated concubine Kangxi, she would naturally not treat her badly, but Chen Xiuming didn't know what to reward.

"We also know about the health of the imperial concubine, so we sisters will take over the trouble." Concubine De has spent the most time with Chen Xiuming, so she knows Chen Xiuming's physical condition, let alone Chen Xiuming said these words Naturally, I discussed it with Kangxi, and I will do my best in front of Kangxi to take over this job.

Now there are no newcomers in the harem, and they can only survive in this palace for a while, try to leave a good impression on Kangxi's heart so that the grace will not be broken in the future.

The rest didn't say no, and they all sat and drank tea with Chen Xiuming for a long time, and a group of people were still chatting when Kangxi came to Yongshou Palace.

Listening to the happy chat in the room, Kangxi walked in directly and asked, "What are you talking about, so happy? I heard your laughter outside the room."

"My concubine pays my respects to the emperor, my majesty's blessings and peace." The cloak Li Dequan on Kangxi's body was untied and someone took it to smoke, and the sitting concubines were also supported by the maids to stand up and salute.

"Get up, it's rare to see you all go out and talk together." Kangxi pulled Chen Xiuming to sit down. Everyone was used to his behavior, and he couldn't help but laugh it off.

Everyone stood up and sat down before Chen Xiuming said, "The concubine has not presided over anything since she entered the palace. Now the number of people who are being entertained by the old man is not a small number. There has not been any happy event in the harem recently, so the concubine thought Be lazy and let everyone make arrangements together."

"Alright." Kangxi took the tea from Chen Xiuming and moistened his lips, "It's just that you are lazy...you have to work hard, this winter looks cold, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs will send it to you later. Some things go to your palace."

"The concubine thanked the emperor for the reward." Everyone was also happy after hearing Kangxi's words, not just because of the reward, but because it meant that Kangxi knew their hard work and seemed to be impartial.

"It's almost time for dinner, you guys stay and eat together, Li Dequan ordered you to go on." Kangxi directly stayed for dinner, this is the first time a concubine is staying in Yongshou Palace or all the concubines in the harem. Please order first.

So many concubines and concubines had dinner with Kangxi, and the food and soup naturally came out of the imperial dining room. It took a long distance for each dish to come out of the imperial dining room, so the meals could only be quickly presented to the table using special food boxes.

During the meal, there are palace maids serving dishes. Although they are silent, they also appear to have a warm atmosphere.

On the Laba day, Kangxi left Yongshou Palace early. When Chen Xiuming woke up, Madam Su said that Kangxi had been gone for less than half an hour, and Chen Xiuming, who didn't know what Kangxi was busy with, drank Laba porridge by himself.

When it was time to have lunch, Kangxi looked at the time and came back, and there were a few people that Chen Xiuming didn't expect to come back together.

"Father, mother, eldest brother, second brother, third brother..." Chen Xiuming was watering the flowers, but when she heard the palace servants salute, she turned around, and when she turned her head, she saw her family members who felt much older.

Looking at Chen Qishan and Mrs. Chen who were moving slowly and saluting, Chen Xiuming's tears fell out all at once.

Chen Xiuming's crying not only shocked the Chen family, but Kangxi was also shocked.

Chen Xiuming has been in the palace for so many years, he has never seen her cry, and he just wanted to make her happy so he made her sad.

Kangxi sighed and took out his handkerchief to wipe Chen Xiuming's tears, "You all get up, don't cry too, 24 and 25 will come later, I'm afraid I'm going to cry when I see you crying."

Kangxi waved his hand and let the court lady help Chen Qishan and his wife to sit down. Seeing that Chen Xiuming had stopped crying, he said, "Let's go after eating today. Today's dishes are all dishes from Jiangnan."

Although 24 has been out of the palace several times and told Chen Xiuming that Chen Qishan and his wife are still in good health, looking at their almost white hair, Chen Xiuming still feels that time passes quickly.

When she saw them for the first time, they only had a few white hairs, and they were still gray before entering the palace. After a few years, they now look like they are 80 years old, their faces are covered with wrinkles, and their hair has become a lot thinner.

"Father and mother are doing well, my daughter hasn't served you for a long time, and you have lost a lot of weight." She was crying as she spoke, fearing that she would cry again, she hastily covered her eyes with a veil.

"Back to your mother, the minister and wife are in good health, it's just that the cold winter makes people feel a little lighter." Chen Qishan lowered his eyes and replied in a polite manner.

"My lady now looks much taller than before, and her complexion is much better."

These words were all very polite, Kangxi shook his head and said to Chen Xiuming: "I have sent someone to send news to 24 and 25, but they haven't arrived yet, I'll go and have a look."

"Congratulations to the emperor."

After Kangxi left, the few people talked a little more relaxed, but they were still not as intimate as when they were in the boudoir, and the words they said had to be turned around in their heads for a few times before they spit out, and what they said was just interesting things at home.

The men of the Chen family never liked to take concubines, and the three brothers now only had their first wife and did not follow them into the palace this time.The grandchildren in the family now have seven sons and three daughters. Although they are slightly fewer than other families, they are all educated and educated.

The children of the Chen family are not in a hurry to discuss marriage, and now the grandson of Chen's parents has reached the age to discuss marriage, but they just told Chen Xiuming to meet each other for two years before making a decision.

Chen Xiuming also knows the current status of the Chen family and the current situation, so she said there is no need to worry, and while talking, Kangxi brought the two younger brothers. After Kangxi asked a few words, it was time for dinner up.

After eating and drinking tea together, Chen Xiuming also started to feel sleepy, so Kangxi let the Chen family go out of the palace. As for 24 and 25, they got Kangxi's permission to go out of the palace for half a day.

In the blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve. In addition to watching the year, the palace also had to prepare the things for the first, second, and third grades of junior high school overnight.

On the first day of the new year, the palace held a New Year's greeting ceremony. Today is the testimony of Kangxi who has been the emperor for 60 years. Kangxi was very happy to write a poem "61 Spring Fasting Book".

This poem is Kangxi's experience in governing the country. This short poem fully expresses the consideration of the emperor, the duty of the courtiers, and the expectations of the people.

During the day, Kangxi was also very happy, but when he talked to Chen Xiuming at night, he had a satisfied smile on his face that Chen Xiuming had never seen before.

"I have worked hard for [-] years, not to mention the merits and demerits of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors. I have made some achievements. If I have time, I want to live the life of ordinary people." Kangxi drank a lot of wine at dusk, and now he is a little drunk and said thought.

Chen Xiuming's heart tightened, but he thought that there was no third person in the house, and only the maid guarding the door was left outside, so he didn't stop Kangxi, let him speak.

"24 is taught by the fourth child. I think 25 is still young, so I can personally teach him how to be a man..." Kangxi hugged Chen Xiuming and laughed foolishly. That's great, it's better to settle in Jiangnan, where people are raised in Jiangnan."

Chen Xiuming's hand holding Kangxi's clothes was tight, and there was water in his eyes.

After a long time, Kangxi and Chen Xiuming hugged each other and fell asleep, and Jinlong appeared and took Chen Xiuming into the dream.

When she woke up the next day, Chen Xiuming vaguely remembered that she had a dream, but she couldn't remember clearly, and the more she thought about it, the more blurred she was, so she didn't think about it.

Today is a big day, half of the Eight Banners officials' homes in central Beijing, and some mansions that haven't opened their doors for a long time, started to make noise early.Some vigilant ministers were envious when they heard the sound of the mansion next door. Even the emperor's special banquet was a blessing that no one else could ask for in a lifetime.

In addition to these ministers, the clan's children in Beijing also got up early. Kangxi had already ordered some people from the clan to confer titles, persuade them to drink, and distribute food at the banquet. These people may not all be successful , but they all recite the familiar rules backwards in the warnings of their parents and elders.

At dawn, the carriages headed for the palace one after another. The number of carriages and horses along the way was as spectacular as a river flowing into the sea.

Before entering the palace gate, all the chariots and horses were lined up in order according to the master's current official position. Considering the cold weather and the fact that these ministers were not young, they had already ordered the eunuchs to prepare hand stoves and hot water. He didn't suffer much before entering the palace.

When the time came, all the chariots and horses drove into the palace.

This is also thinking that these courtiers are getting old, so Kangxi gave grace to let the carriage enter the palace directly, and then get off the carriage and enter the palace under the steps of Qianqing Palace.

The seats in the hall are also very particular, from the seat close to Kangxi to the seat close to the gate of the hall are all determined after many considerations.

Today is a banquet for the ministers of the Eight Banners who have reached the age of 60. The Han ministers are not included in this list. One is that the relationship between the Han ministers and Kangxi is a little farther away. The second is that there are a large number of Han ministers. Sitting in the cold wind.

The hall is warm, there are maids and eunuchs waiting around and there are tea, fruit and snacks, and the waiting time for the banquet is also very comfortable.

After Kangxi learned that everyone had already entered the table, he took all his brothers and grandsons to Qianqing Palace.
