Retirement in Qing Chuanwen

Facts have proved that cuteness can indeed do whatever it wants, seeing Kangxi looking at her eyes has become a little dangerous, the alarm bell in her heart suddenly sounded, Jinghao blinked, and then said: "You can't blame me, who told you to look down on me first?" human?"

"Who said I looked down on you?" Kangxi was really not angry, nor was he smiling, "Isn't that... I just want to tease you."

"If you want to say that, then I just want to tease you." Jinghao smiled and stretched out a finger to hook the little finger of Kangxi's right hand, then shook and said, "Your Majesty, you are magnanimous, and you are tolerant of all rivers. You care about a little girl like me, right?"

"I let you say everything, what else can I say?" Kangxi said angrily.

"You can say a lot." Jing Hao bent her eyes and said, "It's fine to say 'Of course I won't argue with you', or 'You are so beautiful, why would I care about you', I don't choose of."

Kangxi really has nothing to do with Jinghao, sometimes he feels that he is quite worthless, but every time he sees Jinghao being nice to him, he really can't help but soften his heart.

Just like now, even if she was really angry by Jing Hao just now, after she chanted and beat him like this, Kangxi's anger disappeared, and he just thought how could she be so pitiful and cute?

Seeing that Kangxi couldn't help laughing, Jinghao immediately knew that the crisis was over, she opened her hand to hold Kangxi's hand, directly pulled him to sit down and said: "Don't think about it carefully, I just gave birth to Bao Ning, how long has it been since Imperial Physician Ye prescribed contraceptive medicine for me again, how could I have it again?"

"Did you accidentally do it again last time?" Kangxi who was "beaten up" said, "Besides, how did I know that you would joke about such a thing?"

At that moment, how could Kangxi have any reason to speak of after hearing such words?All the minds were crushed by Jing Haoqing's three words.

"So are you disappointed to hear that I lied to you?" Jinghao asked Kangxi.

"Why am I disappointed?" Kangxi, who was pulled by Jinghao to sit down again, held her hand instead, and said, "You gave me Baokang and Baoning, and I am already very satisfied."

Kangxi knows how much Jinghao is afraid of pain. In his mind, she is a delicate little girl, but such a delicate girl is willing to give birth to Baoning after Baokang. To be honest To be honest, Kangxi really has no regrets.

So when Jing Hao said that she had it just now, Kangxi's first reaction was neither happiness nor surprise, but just surprise.

"The truth?" Jing Hao asked.

"The truth." Kangxi said.

"Okay then." Jing Hao said, "Then I won't joke with you about such things in the future."

Hearing what Jinghao said, Kangxi glanced at her with a smile, and then said: "Then I thank the empress for her kindness?"

"You're welcome, you're welcome." Jinghao said "polite" with a smile, and then said, "Okay, I'm not joking with you, I'm really thinking about something serious, about the maid."

Jing Hao integrated some of the information and materials she had collected recently, and then told Kangxi succinctly: "...Considering this common phenomenon, I am thinking whether to do something, to change Such a situation."

"Firstly, it can help them, and secondly, it can also reduce our burden, because I found that there are very few court ladies who are 25 years old and willing to leave the palace every year, but the number of people who come to participate in the small election every year has not decreased."

"In this way, there will be more and more court ladies in the Forbidden City, but we don't need so many people. If things go on like this, it will definitely not work."

Especially now that Kangxi does not intend to let the harem enter again, that is to say, there will be fewer and fewer masters in the palace. In this way, if the rate of maids leaving the palace every year is not directly proportional to the rate of entering the palace, the Forbidden City may be destroyed sooner or later. One day it will be overwhelmed.

"How do you want to change?" If Jinghao didn't say anything, Kangxi really didn't pay attention to these problems. Even if what Jinghao was worried about hasn't happened yet, but thinking about it carefully, her worry is not unreasonable.

"This is what I think. First, modify the age of leaving the palace." For Jinghao, she doesn't think 25 is too old. In later generations, this is the age when she just entered the society.

But it’s different now, when most people married early and had a short lifespan, a 25-year-old girl would be considered a mistress in a few years, so Jing Hao felt that it was necessary to revise the age at which she left the palace.

She said, "I think three years in advance, as long as the palace ladies are 22 years old, they can leave the palace and regain their freedom."

Don't think it's just three years in advance, but nowadays there are still people who leave their girls to marry at the age of 20. Although there are not many, there are also. It's a little bigger.

"But the fundamental problem is still not resolved." Kangxi said sharply, "Maybe one of the reasons why those court ladies are unwilling to leave the palace is because they are too old to marry, but there is another reason because there is not much protection. .”

"I know." Jing Hao said, "So after changing the age of leaving the palace, I plan to take care of their marriage by the way, what do you think?"

"This is not a small matter." Kangxi said, "Plus there are so many people, where are you going to find so many good men for them?"

"It's not difficult for me." Jinghao raised her chin slightly, and said quite proudly, "As far as I know, many of the Eight Banners' children have not married their wives yet."

The Eight Banners disciples that Jinghao mentioned are not only the Eight Banners Manchuria, but also the Eight Banners Mongolian and Eight Banners Han troops, especially the Eight Banners Han army, which has a huge number of people, adding up to one Eight Banners Manchuria and one Eight Banners Mongolia.

At this time, the Eight Banners disciples were not those bastards who would only go to the streets, walk birds and smoke big yan later on. Although they could not work and earn a living, it didn't matter, because the imperial court had already paid for them.

In other words, all of these Eight Banners children are people who have a latte job. In this way, they are also a suitable marriage partner.

Of course, what Jing Hao refers to here is that the personal conditions are suitable, and whether the person is suitable or not is another matter.

"Are you planning to lead the red line for both sides?" Jing Hao's idea was a bit beyond Kangxi's expectation. To be honest, this is indeed a good way.

What Kangxi can take care of is only the marriage affairs of the clan's children, but Kangxi really can't take care of the marriage affairs of the Eight Banners children, because there are too many people, it is impossible for him to put his mind here.

But Jinghao is different. In addition, she is still the mother of a country, so if she handles this matter, it can be said that it is justified.

"Yeah." Jinghao nodded, then looked at Kangxi, and asked him, "What do you think of my method? Is it feasible?"

"Very good, I think it is very good." Kangxi learned to praise Xiao Baokang quietly and gave her a thumbs up, and then said, "Although it will be difficult to operate in practice, everything is difficult at the beginning. So this is nothing, I think the feasibility is very high.”

Kangxi first gave Jinghao a big approval, and then said, "It's just that this matter is very trivial and cumbersome. If you do it alone, it will definitely be very hard. You have to consider this issue, but don't get tired when the time comes." To the point of crying, saying that it is time to lay down the burden."

His last sentence was obviously a bit of a joke. After all, he didn't know how lazy Jing Hao was, so Kangxi was actually a little surprised when she mentioned this matter and planned to implement it.

"I won't." Jing Hao admits that she is quite lazy, but she is not the kind of person who has no sense of responsibility. Either she will not do this, or if she chooses to do it, she will definitely not give up the burden halfway of.

"Then what are you going to do?" Kangxi asked, obviously agreeing with Jinghao's approach.

"First of all, there is one very important thing to do." Jing Hao said with a serious face, "That is to find some helpers for myself first."

Kangxi: "..."

Not at all unexpected.

"Don't laugh, these are some very good ways of dealing with things." Jinghao said seriously, "Have you heard of the strength of many people? It won't work if you fight alone."

Kangxi looked at Jinghao with a smile, thinking that this was the first time he heard someone talk about being lazy in such a fresh and refined way.

"What are you laughing at?" Seeing Kangxi's smile, Jing Hao couldn't help pulling back the hand held by him, then patted his arm and said, "Is what I said funny?"

"No." Kangxi shook his head and smiled, "I'm just thinking, how much of your words are true? How much is false?"

When Jinghao heard Kangxi say this, she first gave him a fierce look, and then within two seconds, she couldn't hold back her smile: "If you see through, don't tell the truth, if you see through, don't tell the truth, how many times have I told you this? Can't you remember?"

If you know it in your heart, why do you want to say it?

Is she shameless?

"Okay, okay." Kangxi, who was "educated" by Jinghao, nodded obediently, "I remember it, and I will definitely remember it next time."

"I'm listening." Jinghao waved her fist at Kangxi threateningly, and said, "I'm going to help the eldest princess, the second princess, and the third princess."

"They?" Kangxi looked at Jinghao, "Are you sure they are helping you and not making trouble for you?"

It's not that Kangxi looks down on his three daughters, but that they are still young. The eldest princess is only 14 years old now. She is only a half-grown girl. She has never done anything like this before, let alone experience in it. , how can I help Jinghao?

"You don't understand that, do you?" Jing took a good look at Kangxi, and then said, "Their age is not the most important thing, but their princess status."

"Plus, they are going to get married in a few years. Don't you not like to hear that. You can't keep them forever. Since you want to get married, you have to let them learn some skills and gain some knowledge. ?”

"I heard that the eldest princess and the others either worshiped Buddha and copied scriptures, or learned piano, chess, calligraphy, painting and female celebrities?" Jing Hao said, "I don't have any opinions on these, but I think the little girl should see more of the world."

"Instead of hiding them in deep boudoirs, it is better to let them go out."

If you want Jinghao to treat the eldest princess as her own, then it is definitely impossible, and she can't do it, but the eldest princess and the others are all good children, there is no doubt about it.

That being the case, then Jing would not mind helping them.

Regardless of whether they will go to Fumeng in the future like in history, but a little more knowledge is definitely not harmful to them.

Of course, Jinghao can't say that she has no selfishness, she herself has daughters, only the better and more free the eldest princess and her elder sisters live, the little Baoning's future life will not be confined to a small world.

"Besides, I plan to ask Princess Shuhui for help." This is the empress dowager's own daughter. She was married to Mongolia at the age of 12 and has gone through two marriages. Now she lives alone, without any worries. The morose look and melancholy of a widow.

Moreover, Jinghao has been in contact with Princess Shuhui. She is not the kind of ignorant and feudal person, and she is even a bit deviant. It is said that Princess Shuhui took the initiative to ask Ying Er to marry Borzigit, the minister of the Mongolian Bahrain Ministry. ·Sebuton's.

As for the reason?

There are two in total, one is for the marriage between Mongolia and Manchuria, and the other one, ahem... Princess Shuhui has taken a fancy to Sebuteng, so she volunteered.

Princess Shuhui and Sebuteng were harmonious and loving after their marriage. Under such circumstances, Princess Shuhui, who lost her partner, did not let herself be immersed in grief and pain, but chose to look forward.

Such a long princess Shuhui, Jinghao felt that there must be something. If she could be invited to help, Jinghao believed that not only could she be able to help her, but the eldest princess and the others would definitely be able to learn something from her.

Maybe she can benefit a lot from it herself.

"Auntie?" Hearing Jinghao mentioned Princess Shuhui, Kangxi glanced at her, then touched her head with a smile and said, "You are quite smart."

Princess Shuhui's status and seniority in the royal family are not low, and she is the only remaining child of the Empress Dowager, Jing Hao asked her to work together, which invisibly added a lot of help to herself.

"Of course." Jinghao said with a smug expression, "It is said that if you are close to vermilion, you will be red, and if you are close to ink, you will be black. After staying with you for a long time, my white paper will be stained black no matter what. Bar?"

Kangxi: "..."

It doesn't sound like a good thing to say.

……

It doesn't matter if it's good or not, what's important is that since even Kangxi thinks these two measures are good, then Jinghao didn't procrastinate, and sent someone to inform Princess Shuhui on the same day, asking her to come to the palace tomorrow.

Princess Shuhui who received the notification was also at a loss, because she really didn't have much contact with Jinghao, but she had a good impression of this niece and daughter-in-law.

This is entirely due to the fact that her grandson Bayar has often mentioned Xiao Baokang in front of her over the years. When Xiao Baokang is mentioned, it is bound to be followed by a word or two of Jinghao.

In addition, Princess Shuhui was really curious about the two things that the Empress Dowager would watch Kangxi dote on Jinghao alone and remain indifferent, and finally did not stop Kangxi from making Jinghao the empress.

You must know that her mother-in-law did not treat her younger brother like this.

Based on the above reasons, Princess Shuhui had a good impression of Jing Hao, so even though Monk Zhang Er was a little confused about her invitation, she was not worried about anything, and went directly to the palace the next day.

When Princess Shuhui came to Jingxiu Palace, Jinghao was burping little Baoning, because today is not the first day or the fifteenth day of the lunar new year, and the concubines don’t come to Jingxiu Palace to pay their respects, so Jinghao didn’t do it today either. How to dress up.

Today is the first time Princess Shuhui has come to Jingxiu Palace. The Jinghao she saw before was all glamorous, but now she is a little surprised to see her in such a homely attire.

"Are you here?" Seeing that Princess Shuhui came so early, Jinghao was a little surprised, she smiled, "I thought you would go to the Palace of Compassion and Peace first to pay respects to the ancestors."

"I'm afraid that the queen will come to me in an emergency." Princess Shuhui was born in Tiancong six years ago. She is now 53 years old, but she looks very strong and her speech is full of air.

"It's not an urgent matter, but it's very important." Jinghao said to Princess Shuhui after burping little Baoning, "It's actually like this, auntie, and me, I have something to ask Do me a favor."

After speaking, Jinghao told Princess Shuhui about her plan, and after she finished speaking, Jinghao said again, "Auntie, you also know that I am young and have not experienced anything, and I really need an elder to take care of me. Take me."

"Originally, I wanted to invite my ancestor to come out of the mountain, but after thinking about it, my ancestor has worked so hard for so many years, and now it's rare to live a relaxed life, so I don't want to disturb her too much, and the queen mother has to take care of Yinzuo That little naughty girl didn't have the time, so I immediately thought of you."

Jing Hao said, "I've heard a little bit about your past, so I think I should ask you to help me with this matter. I wonder if you have the time?"

After listening to Jinghao's plan, Princess Shuhui glanced at her, but she was not in a hurry to answer her, but said: "Queen, your idea is really good, but there is a saying that is good, if you don't do it, It’s better not to be a guarantee, not to be a matchmaker for three generations. Those unscrupulous parents sold their daughters for the gift money. ?”

"I think if we handle it, the possibility of them marrying badly is at least not that high." Jing Hao said, "Auntie, of course I know this is not an easy task, but no matter how easy it is, I I think it should be done.”

"A human life is only a few decades. They were sent to the palace to learn how to serve others when they were young. They finally survived to the age when they could leave the palace, but they chose to stay in the palace because they were worried about this and that. Palace, this is too cruel for them."

"So I think we should take this step for them. Even if there are any difficulties, I believe that there are more solutions than difficulties. In addition, after they get married, they are not isolated from the world. Sisters who get married together walk around as family members."

"If you are in trouble, come to me. If others don't make decisions for them, I will."

Hearing what Jinghao said, Princess Shuhui smiled, and then said: "Okay, I can help with this, but I have one condition."

"What condition?" Jing Hao asked.

"I heard Queen Mother say that you are very good at complimenting people, so please give me a compliment first."

Jinghao: "...???"

Wow, aunt, I didn't expect you to be such an aunt.
