[Qing wear + Red House] Lin's Royal Concubine

"It's no wonder I sneezed a few times when I was out of the cold on the way, which made the servants think that I was caught in the cold and hurried to find the imperial doctor. It's because you are thinking about me." Kangxi laughed angrily and rubbed I rubbed my nose, and it was still a little itchy.

Squinting at her with raised eyebrows, he said angrily: "These two brothers and sisters, Baocheng and Guoguo, would go to my private treasury every time they had a chance, and I don't know where they went? Now that your warehouse is so rich that you still miss me, can you tell me this by yourself?" It's too bullying, isn't it?

Hearing this, Lin Shiyu quit. He sat cross-legged on the kang and began to wrestle his fingers, "Baocheng is going to marry a wife soon, so the concubine has to give the daughter-in-law a meeting gift, right? On weekdays, I have to give him some gifts from time to time." It’s a good thing to express your heart, lest the indifferent daughter-in-law think that the concubine doesn’t like her.”

"When the daughter-in-law gives birth to grandchildren, it will add a lot of expenses. These little things are the four-legged gold-eating beasts, not to mention that there will be a fourth child after Baocheng, the same son, daughter-in-law, grandchildren, and concubines. Treat one more favorably than another? If you give this one, you can’t leave that one behind. After all, a bowl of water is flat, isn’t it? A few four-legged gold-eating beasts are enough for ordinary people to cause headaches. I don’t know how many courtiers and concubines can share. Your Majesty Let me tell you, is this the truth?"

Kangxi nodded subconsciously.

Lin Shiyu continued to complain, "These two boys can make the concubine go bankrupt, not to mention that the concubine has a little princess to support? In the future, when Guoguo gets married, the dowry can't just rely on the rules of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Something, right? The little princess we raised in the palm of our hands, how can we live a good life with those little things?"

"The concubine not only has to prepare a generous dowry, but also has to subsidize some from time to time in the future... Think about it, your majesty, you usually want any rare thing at will, and the little princess who can have everything by opening her mouth suddenly picks and searches. What will happen if you start to worry about expenses? How sad? Don't you feel bad?"

Why don't you feel bad?Just thinking about it makes me suffocate.

Kangxi straightened his face, it was dark.

"Furthermore, the grandchildren are our own children, and the grandchildren and granddaughters are also darlings, and they should be pampered as well." Lin Shiyu sighed for a long time, with a sad expression on his face, "This is just something that needs to be considered on the bright side. , I haven’t counted the rest of the sevens and sevens and eighty-eight, the emperor, tell me how much gold and silver are needed to make it? Do you still think that the courtiers and concubines are rich?"

After being torn apart by her like this, it can be seen with the naked eye that the warehouse is about to bottom out, what kind of oil is still leaking, pitiful.

"No..." Kangxi hesitated for a moment, then came back to his senses, and sneered, "You almost led me into a ditch! The children are your children, so don't they belong to me? You, a mother-in-law, want to I don’t need to subsidize my child, this Huang Ama? Why don’t you worry about it? Besides, you only have these three burdens, and the sum of my burdens is several times that of yours!”

Lin Shiyu frowned, and said with a matter of course: "But you are the emperor, every year there are countless people rushing to give you good things, even if you don't have any income like concubines, the only income is children The filial piety that they snatched from you secretly, and you just said it out loud."

Why does this sound so wrong?As if he is nothing at all, his own woman is so poor that he still...

"Your majesty probably doesn't know that the concubines have been living on subsidies from their natal family for these years when they entered the palace."

Kangxi's face turned green, and he immediately called Li Dequan back to open the warehouse.

Even if Yinzhen was killed, he would never have imagined that in just a short while, his mother-in-law doubled the money she gave him just now with interest, but she couldn't bear it.

After dismissing Li Dequan, Kangxi was still sitting on the kang frowning in a daze.

Originally it was just an expense, how could there be an extra sum for no reason?Why on earth did he insist on breaking up with this woman?Too busy to panic?Wouldn't it be over if I agreed to that matter quickly?Just because of being so distressed and depressed, the result was good, losing his wife and losing his army.

Very stuffy.

It's not that she was really dazed by this woman. In fact, can the monthly dividends that Xue's family give her escape his eyes?Although the exact amount is not clear, it is obviously a considerable amount of income.

But his own woman talks about this, so pitiful and aggrieved, as a man, it really doesn't make sense for him to say nothing, can he still have this face?

You shouldn't, you shouldn't, you just shouldn't be idle and flustered and have to argue with her.

He babbled, she can babble a lot, a woman... huh, a natural born master of quarrelling.

But seeing her happily hugging the gold... that's all, he is also happy and at ease when he makes this woman happy.

"Send it to the storeroom." Lin Shiyu waved his hand and asked the slave to carry all the things down, and sat back beside him contentedly, refilling the tea for him in person, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your generous reward." .”

Kangxi gave her an annoyed look, and thought: "What you said is feasible. Nowadays, the Qing Dynasty has frequent exchanges with overseas merchant ships, and our silk, tea, and porcelain are very popular with those foreign devils, and the prices are very high. Very well, let’s get some high-quality goodies, and the money we get from selling a whole load of goods under the guise of a merchant ship is enough to cover the expenditure, and it’s not too eye-catching.”

Good guy, he is only proud of his business acumen, but in the blink of an eye, this big pig's hoof has already started to think about finding other places to make up for this loss. How can a majestic emperor be so thrifty in managing his family?

"Your Majesty is wise, it's best to kill two birds with one stone." Lin Shiyu complimented him very much.

"However, I thought, since it's rare to go out, why don't we simply 'look' at those big western countries along the way, so that it will take a long time, and the leader must be carefully considered. OK."

Going to sea is a matter of great risk. Not only is the sea situation unpredictable and unpredictable, but you also have to guard against looting by elusive pirates. Such a long and dangerous journey is really not something ordinary people can bear.

In addition, the task on the shoulders is not easy. The person who handles the matter must have brains, scheming and means, and it is best to have a somewhat cunning temper. After all, it is necessary to use some extraordinary means to achieve the goal as soon as possible when going out. What kind of state of etiquette do foreign devils pay attention to, can they understand?

"What do you think of Suo Xiang and Ming Xiang? Your Majesty's re-use is enough to show that there is no problem with their abilities. Moreover, these two have spent half their lives in the officialdom. They can be described as cunning and cunning. Entrusted by the emperor."

Kangxi was stunned, "You really dare to think and speak."

Although these two people are indeed quite suitable, it is pure foolishness for her to suggest that she has no selfish intentions.

Lin Shiyu didn't hide it, and said lightly: "Although these two old foxes are capable, they are too careless. They are always jumping up and down in front of Baoqing and Baocheng, sowing discord, and my concubines have long since disliked them Well, asking them to go to sea to do this errand is the best of both worlds, it can serve the emperor and do some practical things for the Qing Dynasty, and it can also help the two brothers grow up with peace of mind, so that they will not be tormented until it is too late for the brothers to turn against each other."

"The concubine knows that the emperor has other plans, but the emperor has never thought that once some things are allowed to grow and grow, it will be a matter of time before they are out of control. No matter how one person can do everything, it is nothing but God. Changes can happen at any time... Your Majesty Do you really want to see this good-looking brother make a fight between you and me?"

"The children are all excellent and good children. It would be a pity to spend them fighting among themselves at home. The world outside is so vast, why not let the children spread their wings and fly high? Maybe they can bring some surprises to the emperor." .”

Kangxi was silent. He kept his eyes open all night and couldn't fall asleep. He lay beside him and kept tossing and turning to annoy him to death.

To be honest, if she didn't have a little sense left, she would really like to kick him out of bed.

There was no movement in the next few days, and Lin Shiyu thought that something had gone wrong, but who would have thought that the news would spread out suddenly—two old enemies, Suo'etu and Mingzhu, had been hand-picked.

Although I don't know what Kangxi is thinking these days, what is the plan in his heart, maybe it is because the time is still early and the children are not too big?But no matter what, the two old foxes were successfully dismissed for the time being, and they had to be in units of "years". The two children could be considered to be much more relaxed.

As expected, the two Yinti and Yinrong brothers who heard the news almost couldn't hold back their joy and laughed out loud on the spot.

The ladies were happy and satisfied, but to Suo'etu and Mingzhu, it was like a bolt from the blue.

It is not only far away from the center of power in the imperial court, but it is also accompanied by countless crises and risks, the kind that can be lost halfway and die in another country!

But this is for the serious business of the country, and there is no room for retreating easily.

What's more, the emperor thoughtfully arranged many guards for them, not to mention guns and ammunition, even the cannons on board, the firepower is fierce enough to easily deal with all kinds of pirates along the way, it can be said that he tried his best to give them enough protection, it would be unreasonable if you dare to back down under such circumstances.

But the old friends are still unwilling. If man-made disasters are avoided, what about natural disasters?Anything can happen in the endless sea, where is there any absolute safety?Furthermore, once they leave the power center for two, three, three or four years, can they still have their seats when they come back?I'm afraid it's already gone.

It took half a lifetime of hard work to get to this point, and they didn't want to take any risk.

For this matter, there was a fierce quarrel several times in the court, and more than half of the ministers on both sides expressed their opposition, saying that the Qing Dynasty could not do without the pillars of these two countries... But it was precisely because of this that Kangxi made up his mind even more. determination.

The power of Suo'etu and Mingzhu is too great, it's time to curb the development, besides, the imperial concubine is right, these two old foxes are too good at jumping, and right now he has big things to do, and the family is still It's better to live in peace, for the time being, don't make a fuss under his nose, so as not to cause a fire in the backyard.

Knowing that there was no room for change in the matter, it was not that the two of them had never thought of dragging Lin Ruhai into the water together, but Lin Ruhai had already asked to be retired on the grounds of old age and infirmity, and Kangxi always had ready-made excuses.

As a result, around the end of the draft, the two decades-old enemies were still packed and sent on board, which was called an old tearful and miserable.

I have to say that as soon as these two old things walked into the hall, they seemed to be much cleaner in an instant, and the party members of both parties were at a loss for a while without a backbone, or what. , one thing back and forth arguing back and forth with red faces, not only annoying but also a drag on the progress.

At present, it will be much smoother in this way, and senior ministers with high positions and weights may sometimes do more harm than good.

At noon, Lin Shiyu was much happier and cooked half a bowl of rice. After a lunch break, her stomach was still a little bloated, so annoyed that Lianyi kept nagging, and went directly to the Tai Hospital to ask for a bowl of medicine.

"It's not enough to drink medicine, is it? It's just a temporary accumulation of food..."

"Your Majesty has always had a weak spleen and stomach, it's better to drink medicine to get better sooner."

Lin Shiyu was still dawdling, when she heard a servant outside reporting that her prospective daughter-in-law, Ulanara, was here, she immediately picked up the bowl and drank it in two or three gulps.

"Enter."

Ulanara is only 13 years old, she is still a standard little girl, her stature is not too high, her face still has some baby fat, and she is full of youthful and immature childishness... Every time I face such a The "little" daughter-in-law Lin Shiyu can't help but feel a toothache, and always feels as if she is a little guilty.

However, this little girl is not at all innocent and lively as a little girl should be. She speaks and behaves like a little adult. It can be seen that she is always trying to get closer to being dignified and elegant, and she doesn't know what's going on at home. How exactly is it taught.

It's not that there's anything wrong with this, it just feels like it's too much pressure.

No matter how much you smile, the curvature of the corners of the mouth is exactly the same and does not change. When walking, the width of the handkerchief and the distance of each step seem to be carefully measured with a ruler... At first glance, it looks really dignified and elegant. Yes, but it is a bit less lively and popular, too rigid and upright.

Vaguely remember that Baocheng's future daughter-in-law also looked like this back then?Could this be the criteria for the royal family to select Fujin?

Lin Shiyu was a little hesitant, so she didn't dare to give me any random advice. Fortunately, this little daughter-in-law is still honest, and she is too well-behaved. Generally speaking, she is quite satisfied.

The two women sat and chatted for more than an hour, and then Ulanara retired, and Tuliu Lin Shiyu stared at her back and sucked her teeth.

"Your Majesty is not very satisfied with this one?" Madam Yu wondered: "These days, every time I see her Majesty, she always has a toothache expression. If she is really dissatisfied, before the imperial decree is issued...in two more days It's time for the draft to end."

Lin Shiyu shook her head and asked, "Do men really like this kind of upright woman?"

Nanny Yu and Lianyi looked at each other, shaking their heads in unison.

"But as the prince's concubine Fujin, he must be dignified, and he must be able to bear this status and the face of a man. The empress doesn't have to worry about anything. In the future, the fourth elder brother will have a girl he likes in the house."

This really broke the man's flamboyance in one sentence.

Marrying a wife is for the appearance of the family, so it must be dignified, elegant, virtuous and virtuous. It doesn't matter whether it is good-looking or not, anyway, you can take in many pleasing concubines.

So this is the reason why most of the royal elder brothers are not so sweet with their first wives, but have children with their concubines one after another?Co-authoring this is to come back after marrying a face-saving housekeeper.

Thinking of this, Lin Shiyu couldn't help thinking of the famous "Little Rice Cake" in history. From the day he entered the backyard of the fourth master until his death, Lin Shiyu contracted all the tasks of the fourth master's heirs. There is nothing to say here No one would believe the nonsensical tricks that are not humane, otherwise why would there be so many small rice cakes in the future that are the true love of the fourth master?

I really want to catch my little bastard over here and ask him clearly.

Panicked.

Immediately after the draft, Kangxi decreed that Wulanara could be conferred the title of Sifu Jin. The specific date of marriage has not yet been set. After all, the two children are still young, and it will not be too late to set the date in two years.

The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and the smokers who had been forced to quit for half a year were finally released home. Although a few of them died, most of the rest of them were skinny and scarred, but it was precisely because of this Due to the harsh methods, most people are now able to save their lives and go home, which is considered a blessing in misfortune.

This short half a year may seem like a blink of an eye to others, but to these people, it really feels like a year. When they suddenly walked out of the prison and saw the sun again, it felt unreal as if they had passed away. She was stunned for a long time and couldn't come back to her senses. She didn't wake up suddenly until she was hugged by her relatives crying and crying.

It is estimated that the experience of the past six months is enough to become a nightmare that they will never get rid of for the rest of their lives. It is to see if these bastards dare to touch drugs again.

Knowing that Xue Pan had also returned home safely, Lin Shiyu finally felt relieved, at least he didn't have to worry about cracks in the cooperative relationship with Xue Baochai.

But what she never expected was that the Dumb King, who had wandered around for so many years, seemed to be a different person after this encounter, and he felt shameful.

Both Xue Baochai and Xue Pan's daughter-in-law were very pleased with this change, but Aunt Xue thought that her son had suffered a lot and was frightened so that she became so timid, and cried all day long, wishing she could drive her son out. Lang, go to regain yourself and regain your confidence... It really makes people wonder what to say, this foolish person has never lived and understood in his life.

…………

The palace was decorated with lanterns and festoons everywhere, making it even more festive than the New Year, because Yuqing Palace finally welcomed its mistress today.

In the blink of an eye, the five short stature Nai Tuanzi had already married their wives, and time was really merciless.

Lin Shiyu was both happy and a little bit sad, so he couldn't help but drank a few more glasses. When he was helped back to the bedroom at night, he was already drifting away, but he didn't want to meet a pair of red eyes as soon as he entered the door—— Pig's trotters, cry... cry?Although there are no tears on the face, the red eyes can't be fascinated by the sand, can they?

"emperor?"

Kangxi looked up at her, and pointed to the seat next to her.

Lin Shiyu sat down and drank two cups of tea, then heard him sighing and recalling the past.

"I still remember that Baocheng was only so big when he was born. He was like a kitten. He lost his mother when he was born. I was both an Ama and a mother-in-law and pulled him, shit and pee. the pulling..."

It's very pitiful to say, but... Dozens of servants around the prince are waiting on him, so it's your turn to pull shit and shit yourself?Let's brag.

Lin Shiyu, who was a little confused in his mind, complained secretly with a blank face, and suddenly the chattering voice stopped abruptly, and then he took a closer look, good guy, why is his face so dark?

"Why is your face so dark? Do you still have the face to ask? Can't you just keep your mouth shut and listen?"

Ok?

Lin Shiyu was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it like a paste for a long time, she finally realized that she didn't keep the door open and let the complaints in her heart come out?

"I was wrong, I shut up, you continue." She said and covered her mouth with a "slap", very obedient.

Kangxi was so choked that he couldn't beat him, so he continued?What to continue?All the emotions that were brewing were blown away by anger!

"Come here! Wait for your mother to take a bath!"

After drinking a bowl of hangover soup, and taking another bath, Lin Shiyu was almost awake from the wine, and she couldn't help but feel a little guilty when she came out and saw the old man's dark face.

Originally the most beloved son got married, the old father was full of emotions and wanted to be hypocritical, but in the end he was choked back by her... Thinking about it, it's really pitiful.

"emperor."

He raised his eyelids and glanced at her, hehe sneered twice, and said lightly: "That Princess Sophia is quite capable, and she just came out and made a mess of Russia. This plan seems feasible."

Lin Shiyu's eyes lit up immediately, "No wonder I haven't heard of the old man going to our north to make trouble again this autumn. So it turns out that the emperor is planning to attack Russia?"

"It's still early, what's the rush?" Kangxi frowned, and said another matter, "This year, the old Maozi didn't make a fuss, but the Japanese pirates came again. In fact, I told you that the Japanese country is better than the old man." Mao Zi is even more hateful...Wozi country has always been the most capricious, its people are very humble, they don't know the kindness in the world, they only blindly fear their power, so they can't have any good looks towards him."

"Now that I have spare energy, I want to clean up this Japanese country. I'm afraid that such a shameless person with a humble nature will be placed next to my house, and I'm afraid it may become a serious disaster in the future."
