[Qing] Tuan's favorite gluttonous little prince

Before the winter moon arrived, it was snowing in Tangquan.

Yinqi was worried about travel restrictions, but Han Ama and Er Niang were very happy: "Auspicious snow heralds a good year."

After the first snowfall, Yinqi called on his brothers and sisters to have a snow fight in and out of the garden, and let the wolf dog pull the sled, having a great time.

He also remembered that the snow had fallen so little in the past two years that he couldn't even build a beautiful snowman.

In the evening, under the guidance of the servants, they built two big snowmen with their own hands, feeling full of accomplishment.

At night, Yinzhi didn't sleep, and was always worried about the snowman outside the house: "It's so cold at night, will the snowman die of cold?"

The third princess: "You are stupid, the snowman is always cold, how could he die of cold? However, it is so dark and they are still outside, so I don't know if they are afraid of the dark?"

"It's really dark!" Yinzhi looked outside, and became even more worried, "Will they cry?"

"I think so."

The two chatted and chatted, and couldn't sleep anymore. In the middle of the night, they insisted on arguing with the servants to move the snowman into the house to sleep, which woke Yinqi up.

"Fifth brother, you are the best, take us to save the snowman!" Yinzhi said.

Yinqi was very sleepy, and didn't want to 'save the snowman', he was so annoyed that he asked the servants to retreat, and he came to sleep these two little idiots.

The servants all thought that the fifth elder brother was going to play some trick to sneak away again, so they didn't dare to disobey the order and retreated, and then guarded the doors and windows tightly.

Unexpectedly, after a while, the three of them were not seen sneaking away, and they became quieter.

Grandma Xu pushed open a crack in the door and looked in, and saw that the three children were sleeping soundly on the couch, and the quilts were well covered.

The servants were surprised, and they didn't know how the fifth elder brother put the other two to sleep?

At this time, the three princesses and Yinzhi are immersed in the dream of playing with the living snowman...

Taotie has the power to create dreams.

At the end of October, the 'hot spring tour group' returned to the palace.

Since the imperial decree of Kai Enke was not issued until the end of August this year, it was already early October when Qiu Wei officially started the exam, and the release of the rankings was also postponed to the end of October.

When Yinqi followed Khan Ama back to the palace from Tangquan, he just got the good news that the prince's brother had won the list!

One member of the Hesheli family also won the election.

As for Chang Hai and Yin Ti, they are not on the list.

With this achievement at the age of 11, Kangxi was proud of his educational achievements and praised the prince lavishly.

Of course, Yinti was also relieved and encouraged.

Yinti vowed that he would continue to work hard and take the exam next year. He also said that he would take the martial arts exam.

After finishing speaking, he looked at Yinhu, "Brother, are you together?"

Yinhu wasn't fooled at all, he just smiled lightly, "No, I still prefer learning."

Kangxi stroked his newly grown mustache and said with a smile: "Alright."

Seeing that Yinhu didn't take the bait, Yinti was so depressed that he felt like he was punching cotton.

Mingzhu comforted him: "You are two years younger than the prince (false years old), as long as you pass the exam next year, you will be able to overwhelm him."

Yinti ignited a higher fighting spirit again, and asked Mingzhu to secretly find a better Mr. Wenwu for him.

At the beginning of winter, the queen gave Kangxi a plan for women's education.

It is not so easy to set up a girls' elementary school, but if the girls' elementary school can be established, it will be much easier for the students of these elementary schools to enter the elementary school after two or three years.

It's just Meng Xuetang, and there is a feasible plan. The queen also arranged all her female officials who hold pens into Meng Xuetang. After reading it, Kangxi felt that there was no problem, so he supported this plan.

Although this move was strongly opposed by many Hanchens in the court, it also received the support of most Manchurians and a few enlightened Hanchens, and finally passed the trial plan.

The empress handed over the matter to Concubine Yi to take charge of the matter, and she decided on the course content and other arrangements, and the empress only made some suggestions.

Concubine Yi swore: "Empress, please don't worry, my concubine will teach Han girls to be like Manchurian aunts, women will not give up to men!"

Xiu Min said kindly, "I believe in you, sister."

Also called Concubine Yi was greatly encouraged to perform with all her strength.

And Cao Lan was also among the gentlemen arranged by the Queen to be the Mentor School for Women.

These court ladies, after the opening of Meng Xuetang, it is equivalent to leaving the palace ahead of time, and they are no longer court ladies.Marriage can be arranged by the mother clan itself, or it can be directly independent.

Chang Hai was secretly delighted when he heard the news, he knew that the second sister was really his own second sister, so reliable!

……

The "auspicious snow heralds a good year" that Kangxi and the queen said really came true.

In the second half of the year, in the land of the Qing Dynasty, wherever new seeds were used, there was news of a bumper harvest.

In addition to food, there are also various vegetables.

The immigration policy of Shu is also extremely smooth.

But the best news is that Cao Yin, who returned to Jiangning Weaving Mansion, successfully made hydraulic spinning machines and looms, and promoted them in official workshops in Jiangnan.

Kangxi was overjoyed, and after reading the good news in the court, he set a special measure based on productivity: importing a large amount of cotton from abroad.

This is a transformative move!

For many years in the Qing Dynasty, goods could only be exported but not imported, and money could only be imported but not exported.

In the early days of the dynasty, not only were most of the treaty ports closed, but at the same time they only exported porcelain, silk, tea and other items that were not available in the West at high prices.

Western countries have to spend a lot of money every year to import these in-demand goods from the Qing Dynasty, but they can't sell anything.

Now when it is heard that the Qing Dynasty needs to import a large amount of cotton, many Western merchant fleets are moved by the wind, and immediately discuss business with the government, hoping to make a fortune for the Qing Dynasty.

The weaving bureau in the south rushed to pass the news back to Beijing and asked Emperor Kangxi what he meant.

Seeing the price on the contract, Kangxi sighed. With a swipe of his pen, he changed the price to a price he thought was not too low. "Let the foreign caravans taste the sweetness first."

But these are only temporary, and the situation will be different when large quantities of cotton cloth are produced and the cotton harvest expanded by the Qing Dynasty.

Kangxi couldn't wait to see the colorful expressions of foreign businessmen.

At the same time, Kangxi also made plans for the southern inspection tour next year and ordered officials to prepare.

Yinqi was well informed, and soon got himself a place to accompany him on the southern tour.

Cao Yin made a lot of contributions, Kangxi personally bestowed a marriage for him for this, pointed out Li Xu's sister in Suzhou weaving to him, and thought of Cao Yin's sister.

In fact, the emperor's greatest favor for a certain clan is to favor the women in the clan, making them one of his harem. If they can have a son and a half, that would be even better.

He thought of Cao Lan's young and beautiful southern beauty face, and his heart was moved.

But... Mrs. Cao is still Yinqi's maid in the Queen's Palace, which is a bit difficult to handle.

Kangxi secretly revealed that he wanted to make the Cao family a nobleman, Xiumin smiled, and told him a story in a tactful way.

The story was also dictated by the Queen and written by Mr. Jones.

It tells the story of a certain emperor's favorite minister, who was honored and favored for three generations, but was ransacked and wiped out when the new emperor ascended the throne.

There are always similarities in history. Although the story told by the empress is a story of 'the dynasty is unknown', Kangxi did not doubt that this is actually the end of the Cao family's history.

After he finished listening, he smiled half-smile: "According to the empress, I can't be too kind to the Cao family?"

"At least it shouldn't make others jealous, let alone make them think too highly of themselves."

"Then there is no reward?"

Xiu Min suddenly knelt down and begged for an order: "Your Majesty, my concubine's second younger brother, Nian and Ruoguan, is not yet married. I have a merciless request from my concubine."

Kangxi was startled, squinted his eyes and asked: "Have you thought about it long ago?"

Xiumin didn't mean to hide it either, after analyzing the pros and cons, Kangxi finally changed his mind, pointed Cao Lan to marry Chang Hai, and asked Qin Tianjian to choose a date for the wedding, which would be May next year.

Chang Haixiu suddenly received the imperial decree, and he was dumbfounded, "Mother, pinch me to see if I'm dreaming?"

Gabra stared at him, and slapped him on the forehead, "What nonsense are you talking about? Hurry up and accept the order!"

How dare you have to have such a dream? !

With a pain in his forehead, Chang Hai accepted the imperial decree in a daze, and then... just kept giggling.

After being slapped by his Amana, he didn't dare to be too embarrassing with others.

Hearing that Yinqi went out of the palace today to the Taotie Tower, he hurried over there - he could only chatter with Yinqi, if he didn't chatter, he felt that he couldn't get better.

"Fifth Master, I want Fujin, hehehe..."

Yinqi rolled his big eyes at the corner of his mouth that was grinning almost to the ear.

Then he said blankly, "Apologize."

"Ah?" Chang Hai was confused.

Yinqi still said seriously: "Apologize."

Although he didn't know why he was asked to apologize, Chang Hai felt guilty for no reason, "I...was wrong?"

"Wrong attitude, not sincere enough!"

"sorry!"

"Do you know what's wrong?"

"No, I don't know? Where did I go wrong?"

Yin Qi glared at him coldly: "Are you wrong?"

Chang Hai counseled: "I was wrong!"

"What's wrong?"

"Everything is wrong." Chang Hai was listless.

Unexpectedly, the next second, Yinqi suddenly laughed and patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction, "Okay, you've performed very well, you have mastered the basics of getting along with a husband and wife."

Chang Hai: "???"

Time soon came to the twelfth lunar month, one day, Kangxi rubbed Yin Qi's soft hair, and smiled maliciously.

"Qi'er, it's time to shave your hair."

"!!!" Yin Qi was so frightened that he jumped three feet high, "I don't want it!"

The third brother, Yinchan, was one year older than him, and he had a money rattail at the end of last year. It was so ugly!Didn't you see that Yinqi seldom played with the third brother this year?

In order to keep his hair, Yinqi hid in the small treasury.

It's a pity that he can hide past the first day of junior high school, but not the fifteenth day, and he can't stay in the small treasury for the rest of his life. It's completely impossible not to shave his hair.

Xiu Min comforted him: "Don't be so resistant, you are the prettiest person Erniang has ever seen, even if you shaved your head, you are still the prettiest person in the entire Qing Dynasty, your hairstyle doesn't affect anything."

"Woo." Yinqi sobbed, and asked Eniang to design his hairstyle in person.

Xiu Min showed mercy, watching the eunuch give him more hair volume than others, more like the one in the late Qing Dynasty with hair all over the back of his head.

Kangxi looked at it and thought it would look better if he had more hair, so he agreed.

Unexpectedly, when he turned around, Yin Qi cut all the potted plants in the Qing Palace into bald heads.

There is also a plausible statement: "Khan Ama, I heard in a dream that these plants are the remnants of the anti-purge, so I refuse to shave my hair. I will help you destroy them!"

Kangxi's forehead was throbbing with blue veins: "Come here!"

Yinqi, of course... ran away!

Khan Ama hasn't hit him for another three days, hehe.

……

Not long after Yinqi shaved his hair, the Spring Festival came.

Kangxi listened to the minister counting his great achievements this year, the prosperity of the country and the safety of the people, and he was even happier than last year.

Yinqi is four and a half years old, and he knows how to treat people better than when he was a child, and his mouth is sweeter.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, when Kangxi woke up together, he saw Yinqi counting the lucky money there, "Yo, you are really old and young!"

"Yeah!" Yinqi was startled, subconsciously covered the pile of lucky money, then booed Kangxi, then looked left and right, "Don't be discovered by Er Niang."

"Why can't your mother find out?"

Yinqi: "Yesterday, I saw that Erniang's queen's crown is a bit old and not so bright, so I want to quietly make a new set for her. This is a surprise. Don't let her know in advance."

Kangxi was sour, "Why are you so kind to your mother?" What about me?

Yinqi didn't understand Kangxi's subtext, and poured chicken soup solemnly:

"Aunt Ukuma said that people who treat Erniang badly will become poor! People who love Erniang will get rich easily. I can still earn money when I grow up, but there is only one Erniang. Compared with money, I I love my mother-in-law even more."

Kangxi: "There is only one Khan Ama."

Yinqi was startled, and stared at him blankly: "..."

Kangxi: "..."

Yin Qi: "..."

Suddenly, Yinqi gave him a disgusted look: "Mama Ukuma didn't mention you!"

Kangxi: "???"

Yinqi: "Reflect on yourself!"

Kangxi: "??????"
