Previously, Dai Jia gave birth to a disabled seventh elder brother and was promoted from a concubine to a nobleman in one leap. This time, concubine Wei, who was born in Xinzheku, gave birth to the eighth elder brother. The same is true. , Lin Shiyu carried her to the nobleman's seat.

After two times in a row, the women in the harem became more and more envious and restless. They tried their best to compete for favor all day long. Strolling around every day, especially the imperial garden and the only way to enter the harem from the Qianqing Palace.

Thanks to Kangxi's strict rules, except for the imperial concubine and the noble concubine, who can go to the Qianqing Palace to ask for an interview on a daily basis, no one else can go there at will. After thinking about it, whoever dares to go to the Qianqing Palace will surely make you deeply understand what it means to "steal chickens and lose money".

On the day of washing the third day, Kangxi named the newborn son Yinhu, and held the treasure for a long time in person.

I have to say that Xiaoba was born really well, he doesn't look like a wrinkled and red little old man like most babies, his skin is fair and delicate, and his brows and eyes can be seen that he is very beautiful. It's kind of authentic, with a small face carved in pink and jade, it's so rare.

What's even more rare is that this child seems to be very well-behaved, he rarely cries endlessly, as long as he has enough food and drink, and has never peed his pants, no matter who holds him, he will be quiet.

After a hundred days, this good temper became even more apparent. He grinned and smiled when he saw people, and his big round eyes were bent into crescents. They were so soft and sweet that people really loved them. I went to my heart.

Lin Shiyu also couldn't escape the temptation brought by this little milk doll, and she didn't want to let go when she hugged her, so she pouted on that little face, and the little milk doll immediately grinned happily, causing her to Unable to hold back and kissed several more times, the little milk baby immediately laughed out loud, obviously excited and happy.

"Hey, our little Ba is so sweet, how can he be so cute and so rare?"

The eyes of Yin Xiaosi next to him were glowing green, and there was a strong black air all over his body, and he stared at the dead fish eyes with puffed cheeks and gritted his teeth viciously.

sweet?Sweet stick!The honey belly sword is almost the same!

In the previous life, he fought for the throne with his master, but in this life, he dares to fight against his mother?Lord, this is what I owed you in my previous life, so why is my ghost so persistent?

I'm pissed I'm pissed!

Aixinjue Luo Yinhu!I'm not done with you!

"Madam, the fourth elder brother is jealous." Wei Guiren couldn't help covering his lips and chuckling, seeing the sour expression on the puffy cheeks of the little meat dumpling, he just found it very interesting.

Lin Shiyu subconsciously glanced at her fat son when she heard the words, and immediately laughed, "Don't be jealous, come here and kiss you too."

"No!" Yin Xiaosi turned his head resolutely, and snorted, "I'm not jealous!" Jealous of the old eight?Bah bah bah!

Yin Xiaosi seemed to be seriously playing with the jigsaw puzzle, waiting, waiting, waiting... His brows were getting tighter and tighter, almost knotted.

Why didn't Erniang come to coax him?Can't you see he's angry?can't you?

After hesitating for a while, she decided to take a sneak peek with her small eyes, but it turned out that it was okay not to look at it, and she almost cried when she glanced at it—Emiang was still hugging her old eighth and kissing her!

There is no way to pass this day.

The soft face of the steamed stuffed bun suddenly stretched long, and after Mrs. Wei, mother and son left, he climbed down from the kang without saying a word, patted Xiao Jinzi's big head, "Don't sleep, silly dog, let's Walk."

Xiao Jinzi glanced at him lazily, turned over and fell asleep.

"..."

Seeing his son's frustrated expression, Lin Shiyu held back a smile and asked, "Where do you want to take Xiao Jinzi?"

"I want to run away from home!" Yin Xiaosi squatted on the ground and grabbed Xiao Jinzi's fur, and said in a muffled voice: "Anyway, Erniang likes Yinhu, so let him be her son, I'll be with my second brother..."

"Oh? Then why didn't you say it just now? You only say it now that he's gone."

"..." Do you really want Lao Ba to be your son?

Yinzhen felt that he was going to die of anger, and patted Xiao Jinzi on the head again, "Go away, silly dog! There is no room for us in this house anymore!"

The annoyed little Jinzi just stood up, stretched his waist, and then looked at his little master helplessly. Unexpectedly, he didn't see him move after waiting for a long time, so he tilted his head and blinked his big eyes curiously. Then he simply put his head against him and walked towards the door.

"……"silly dog!Stupid you got it!Dare you feel that the small life is too comfortable and you really want to go outside and wander around the world?

But if he is nailed to the ground and does not move, the master will not be able to keep his face.

Yin Xiaosi, who was chased by his own stupid dog to put ducks on the shelves, suddenly fell into a dilemma. For a moment, he felt as if the whole world was against him, and his heart was exhausted to despair.

Just as he was hesitating whether to pretend to be knocked over by a stupid dog so he could find a step down, he suddenly soared into the air and landed in a warm and fragrant embrace.

"Little ghost." Lin Shiyu kissed him hard on the face, laughing uncontrollably, "If you want Er Niang to coax you, then act coquettishly with Er Niang, why are you so arrogant?" It's so cute , little showman.

Yin Xiaosi, who had been rambunctious for a long time, suddenly blushed, buried her neck and raised her head embarrassedly, and after a long time said sullenly: "Er Niang, don't like others." Especially those two bastards, the eighth and the ninth!

"Every good boy likes my mother, but..." Lin Shiyu sat down, put him on her lap, and said with a smile: "Like and love are different. I love to look at people with a stern face, but Er Niang still loves you the most."

Yin Xiaosi: "..." So should he be happy or angry?

After digging through my pile of small books, I found out that there was a big line written on the cover - those years when I was disgusted by my mother.

However, if you look inside, you will find that the small diary, which is obviously a complaint, actually has a warm and happy taste in every word.

A small turmoil in Chengqian Palace was quickly calmed down, but another turmoil in the court had just begun.

On this day, Kangxi suddenly issued an order, ordering Lin Ruhai to be a bachelor of the Palace of Preservation and still concurrently the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

After hearing the news, Suo'etu was so angry that he jumped up and down on the spot, his face turned green visible to the naked eye.

But it turned out that he was the scholar of the Baohe Temple before, but after Tong Guowei was dealt with for the smallpox incident last year, thinking about what he had done to Concubine Yi, Suo'etu was inevitably a little uneasy in his heart, so he deliberately excused his illness Please resign as a temptation.

If the emperor had revealed this matter in his heart, he would naturally not agree to his resignation. After all, he was just "ill" and not really dying. The position is also a way to vent, after one or two years or two or three years, this matter will be almost over, even if it is for the sake of the prince's power, the emperor will never press him to death, and will always come again enable his.

This person is not afraid of the fire in his heart, and if it comes out, there will be nothing wrong. If it really needs to be suppressed in the heart and fermented over time, then it will be a bad thing, just like Tong Guowei's dog thief. Instead of holding a fluke heart, you won't lose your life in a daze.

The lessons learned from the past are there, so Suo'etu decided to try it out after thinking twice.

Because he had already prepared himself mentally, he didn't feel any distress after being accepted to resign. On the contrary, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and his back was completely chilled.

Later, seeing that the emperor never asked anyone to take over as a great scholar of the Baohe Palace, Suo Etu thought it was reserved for him, and confidently kept a low-key "recovery" until the emperor's anger subsided... Who Zhi Leng suddenly killed Cheng Yaojin on the way, making him seem to be acting affectionate all the time, really ashamed and annoyed.

The most terrible thing is, who is not good to be promoted but Lin Ruhai?That's the imperial concubine's biological father and fourth elder brother's biological grandfather!What is the emperor thinking about?Do you still think the Lin family's favor is not enough?Are you really not afraid of spoiling the hearts of the imperial concubine, mother and son?Or does the emperor really have some thoughts in his heart?

For a while, Suo'etu really couldn't figure out Kangxi's thoughts. He only felt that the threat was getting bigger and bigger. He was circling around in the study like an ant on a hot pot, exuding an anxious breath all over his body. .

They never expected that after the death of Tong Guowei, another Lin Ruhai came, and even... The Lin family was no less threatening than the Tong family, and even had an advantage in some aspects.

After all, the Tong family has already produced an empress dowager, and the current emperor has the blood of the Tong family. The honor and favor are too strong and the power is too great. If the next emperor is still born from the belly of the daughter of the Tong family, then this country might as well change the surname to Tong. .

In contrast, the Lin family didn't have such scruples. Could it be that the emperor really had some thoughts?Who told the fourth elder brother to be reincarnated, so he closed his eyes and found himself a mother with extraordinary background, in case the emperor wanted that good fortune...

Thinking of this, Suo'etu became more and more restless in his heart. At this moment, there was a sudden news from the palace that the emperor had summoned him.

Without thinking too much, Suo'etu hurriedly tidied up and hurried into the palace.

Along the way, his thoughts were confused, and he had some vague speculations about this trip, but he did not expect that the emperor not only appointed him as the Minister of the Guards, but also granted him the post of Minister of State.

After the instant surprise, Suo'etu kowtowed in a hurry and expressed his loyalty. He also implicitly expressed his remorse and self-blame for the mistakes he made in the past, and cried so much that he cut his nose and tears with sincerity.

But at this time...

"Master Mingzhu is here!"

"Enter."

Before Suo'etu could react, Mingzhu's old face had already appeared in front of him.

These two enemies are in their own faction, and the court is full of hatred for each other. It has always been said that fire and water cannot be tolerated. Come up?

Seeing Suo'etu's snot-nosed and tearful ghost, Mingzhu immediately frowned in disgust, with undisguised ridicule and contempt in the corners of her eyes and brows.

After saluting Kangxi, Mingzhu smiled teasingly, "It seems that the servant came at an unfortunate time. I'm really worried that Mr. Suo'etu will be so angry that he will kill him later. The emperor doesn't feel sorry for the servant at all."

Can't you pretend you didn't see it?Why do you have to mention it specifically to show your ability and have a pair of eyes?

Just as he was about to retort, he heard the emperor above laugh...

The words that came to his lips could only be swallowed back, wiped the stains on his face, and gritted his teeth secretly.

"Okay, Aiqing, let's get up and talk." Kangxi put away his smile, and said with a serious face of thought: "I called you here today because I want to ask your opinion on something."

Seeing this, Suo'etu and Mingzhu immediately corrected their attitudes, as if they were listening attentively.

But it turned out that Yanping King Zheng Jing died of illness, and his heirs made a fuss in order to compete for the title. What people never expected was that the eldest son was killed in the end, and the 12-year-old second son Zheng Keshuang attacked Yanping Wang Yi. bit.

Just like some young emperors enthroned, they are too young to hold real power. The same is true for this Zheng Keshuang. If you really want to say it, you are just a puppet on the surface, but in fact it is the chief general of Zheng Jun Liu Guoxuan and Feng Xifan.

Right now the dispute has not been completely subsided, Zheng Keshuang is young, Liu Guoxuan and Feng Xifan may not be on harmony, in general it can be described as a mess, so Fujian Governor Yao Qisheng asked for an order to send troops to suppress.

"I think this opportunity is really rare. Taking advantage of its internal turmoil, it may be possible to solve the long-standing diabolism in one go. If you miss this opportunity, wait a few years for Zheng Keshun to grow up and the internal turmoil to subside. Thinking about it again, I’m afraid it will be difficult.”

It's just that right now the army is about to take advantage of the victory to pursue and go deep into Yunnan, seeing the victory of the San Francisco Rebellion that lasted for several years is just around the corner, which made him hesitate for a while.

Going to war means burning money. The San Francisco rebellion has taken eight years. Although Taiwan seems to be a good time right now, who can say for sure about this kind of thing?If it consumes it, it will delay the situation in Yunnan...

After all, I still worry about food and pay.

Thinking of this, Kangxi couldn't help thinking of the dragon tail car with excellent experimental results, and secretly made up his mind to speed up its promotion and use across the country. The land is related to the belly of the people and the tax revenue of the court, so it is the most important thing.

"My slave agrees with Master Yao's proposal." Mingzhu thought, "According to my humble opinion, Wu Shifan in Yunnan is already a grasshopper after autumn. I believe this war will not take much longer. The current situation is really something that can be encountered but not sought after, just as the emperor said, if such a great opportunity is not seized, it may be too late to regret it."

Suo'etu was only one step late and became the person who seconded the proposal, and he was stunned for a while.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and it could also be seen that Kangxi was already ready to move. As soon as Mingzhu finished speaking, he immediately nodded in approval, and then started discussing the war.

In the end, it was decided to order Shi Lang, the admiral of the navy, to command the troops, with the assistance of Yao Qisheng, the governor of Fujian, to jointly pacify the sea area.

From the beginning to the end, Suo'etu couldn't get in the conversation at all, and when he opened his mouth to say something, Mingzhu blocked his mouth first, and his face was completely dark.

After leaving the gate of Qianqing Palace, the two looked at each other with a smile on their faces.

Suo'etu couldn't help grinding his teeth secretly, and squeezed out a few words from the gap between his teeth, "Master Mingzhu is very capable, and you are the best at gagging, which shows that you are the best." He also gave a thumbs up.

Ming Zhu smiled sarcastically, and replied: "Not as good as Suo Xiang, my little grandson rarely sheds tears, but today Suo Xiang opened my eyes."

"you!"

"Suo Xiang calm down." Seeing his angry eyes wide open, Mingzhu smiled helplessly, "Why does Suo Xiang keep staring at me? The biggest threat facing your Hesheli clan is not Me, you insist on fighting with me to the death, but in the end, it is time for others to benefit. Suo Xiang should calm down and think carefully, who is your worst enemy. "

After finishing speaking, Mingzhu left in a flick of her sleeves, leaving Suo'etu standing there with an uncertain expression on his face.

Of course he knew who he was referring to, the imperial concubine, the fourth elder brother, Lin Ruhai... This family is indeed a huge threat to their Hesheli clan, and they are obstacles in front of the prince.

Of course, he also knew that Mingzhu wanted to provoke him to fight with Lin Ruhai, so that he could sit by and reap the benefits of the fisherman.

But I have to say that even though he knew it very clearly, he still couldn't restrain the deep fear in his heart, but he still couldn't rush to attack Lin Ruhai, and he couldn't take advantage of that thief Mingzhu!

Suo'etu couldn't help but snorted coldly at the direction Mingzhu left, then turned his head and walked in the other direction with a flick of his sleeves.

No wonder the emperor has always been obsessed with the three-legged confrontation. It is indeed difficult to act rashly if it is so intertwined with each other. Even if there is something, it is just a small fight. No one dares to make a big move, because if one is not careful, the other will take advantage of it. Into the.

For the emperor sitting on the dragon chair, such a situation is more conducive to his control, and more conducive to the stability of the court.

Tong Guowei is dead, and Tong Guogang is becoming more and more quiet. It seems that Lin Ruhai's rise to power is also imperative. Besides the Lin family, who else can compete with Suo'etu and Mingzhu?

Although the emperor's starting point is understandable, isn't the emperor afraid of playing off?Or, do you really have something on your mind?

When this idea came up again, Suo'etu's face became more condensed, he looked up at the sky, and his steps accelerated.

After a day of hard study, Yinti and Yinreng dragged their tired bodies and couldn't wait to go back to take a bath and change clothes, but they bumped into Suo'etu head-on without taking two steps.

"The slave has met His Royal Highness, the elder brother."

"Excuse me." Yinfeng nodded with a faint smile, and at such a young age, he had already begun to show the demeanor of a prince.

Yinti also had winks, nodded at Suo'etu and left first.

Suo'etu glanced at his back, and said with a smile: "In the past two years, the relationship between His Royal Highness and Eldest Brother has become much better." a minion.

Seeing this situation, Yinfeng naturally understood what he meant, and immediately waved his hands to tell the servants to go away, and then asked: "Why is Suo Xiang looking for the orphan?"

"It's just that I haven't seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for a long time, and I have some concerns in my heart." Suo'etu smiled lovingly, as if he really was an elder who cared for the younger generation wholeheartedly, and even the circles of his eyes were slightly reddened. Said: "His Royal Highness seems to have grown a lot taller, and his body has become stronger and stronger, so that's good... If Empress Renxiao is alive in the sky, she must be at ease."

When mentioning his biological mother, Yinfeng's heart couldn't help being touched, and his expression obviously showed a bit of loneliness and fragility.

After all, you are still young.

Suo'etu breathed a sigh of relief, and asked a few questions with concern about how the imperial concubine treats him, how he gets along with his brothers, and other common topics. It's just that people from the mother clan care about him.

"I know that His Highness the Crown Prince is doing well, so I am relieved." Suo'etu nodded with a smile, hesitated for a moment, and then sighed in a lower voice: "The slave knows that His Highness the Crown Prince is close to the Imperial Concubine, but... this biological It is your own, the fourth elder brother and you are different in the heart of the imperial concubine after all, your highness, don't indulge in it too much, lest you will be hurt in the future."

Not mentioning any threat or not in a sentence, but only cutting in from the emotional aspect, on the contrary, it is easier to leave traces in the hearts of young children, and once there is distrust in the relationship, everything that follows will follow suit.

Yin Reng frowned, shook his hands and left with displeasure on his face.

But Yinti, who left earlier at that time, was also stopped by someone. It was the pearl who had separated from Suo'etu earlier.

It has to be said that this pair of rivals really have a tacit understanding.

"Your Majesty, the two adults have left the palace." Li Dequan came in from the outside with a cup of tea, and said these words softly.

Obviously, Kangxi's heart was like a bright mirror. Although he couldn't hear what they said, he could still guess.

He didn't care too much, and after listening to it, he just nodded casually, but he was worried about the account book presented by the household department.

The national treasury can't be said to be so miserable, but it is really not rich. Where can I get some money?

After thinking about it for a long time, he issued an imperial decree, which advocated frugality inside and out, and asked the harem to reduce expenses.

It is necessary to increase revenue and reduce expenditure to fill the national treasury, but reducing expenditure is easy to do, so where should we start to increase revenue?

Kangxi was worried.

Lin Shiyu was dumbfounded.

This means... the emperor is poor?

Glancing at the colorful gold hairpins and jadeites on her dressing table, Lin Shiyu sighed, "Put away these overly gorgeous things first, don't get in the eyes of others, and the three meals a day will also be reduced." A few dishes are enough for Ben Gong and Xiao Si to open their mouths."

Yin Xiaosi became stern and unhappy.

If the treasury is short of money, corrupt officials will be copied!Why should he treat his mother badly?How much is a woman worth to eat, drink and dress?How can this be?Huang Ama is too much!

The irritable Yin Xiaosi wished he could immediately roll up his sleeves and go to search the house in person, but... he looked down at his own short and round figure...

Immediately, his face collapsed with depression.

When I grow up... No, I don't seem to know how to earn money when I grow up, so what is that little salary enough for?How could it be possible to support my mother?Even if the money is copied from corrupt officials, it belongs to the treasury, so he can't get it out.

Thinking of this, the face stretched even longer, and there was a sense of loneliness exuding from the whole body.
