First Prince of Qing Dynasty

The next day.

Shi Lingyi woke up faintly, turned over subconsciously, but suddenly came back to her senses when she felt sore all over her body, she was married, last night... Last night, there was a lot of warmth in the hibiscus tent, and Shi Lingyi's cheeks were blushing. The hair found that the side of the body was empty, and then looked at the clear and transparent glass window, it was already dawn outside the window.Shi Lingyi sat up in shock.

Ya Tan heard the movement and came in: "Your Majesty is awake?"

Shi Lingyi was not used to hearing the word empress for the first time, so she was taken aback for a while before she realized it.She has already married into the East Palace, so she is no longer a girl waiting in a boudoir.

"Ya Tan, what time is it? Where is the crown prince? Why didn't you wake me up earlier!"

While waiting for Shi Lingyi to change clothes, Ya Tan replied: "The prince has already woken up. Where are the servants not calling, His Royal Highness specially ordered the servants not to disturb you and let you sleep more."

Shi Lingyi was still impatient, and urged Yatan to change her clothes and comb her hair quickly.As soon as he finished washing and getting dressed, Yinfeng walked into the room and said with a smile, "Are you awake?"

Shi Lingyi blessed her body: "Prince forgive me, I got up late."

Yinfeng shook his head: "You worked hard last night, you should sleep more."

The two words last night made Shi Lingyi's cheeks even redder.

Yinfeng knew what she was worried about, so he took the initiative to explain: "Don't worry, Khan Ama is going to court today, even if you want to ask An, you have to wait for him to go down, it's still early. As for the Palace of Compassion and Ning, Wu Mama Ku is getting old, so going too early will only disturb her rest. Mama always waits to see Mama Wuku before she can go.”

As it should be.First the Empress Dowager, then the Empress Dowager, this is the rule.

Hearing this, Shi Lingyi breathed a sigh of relief.Yinfeng smiled and handed over the bouquet in his hand: "For you!"

Shi Lingyi was a little dazed, and took it in a daze.

Yinfeng said again: "It was picked in the courtyard of Yuqing Palace, and I didn't go outside alone."

Shi Lingyi instantly understood what he meant.She and the prince had just got married, and they had a lot of followers. The first day was the day when the couple paid respects to the elders. At such a time, the prince wandered outside alone, and there was no sign of the princess, which would always lead to some unreasonable speculation.

Sensing his carefulness, Shi Lingyi sniffed the bouquet lightly, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Prince."

"If you like, you can ask someone to find a bottle to plug it in."

Shi Lingyi delivered the flowers to Yatan as promised.Ya Tan took the flowers and went out to find the bottle.Only Yinfeng and Shi Lingyi were left in the house.

Yinfeng said again: "In the future, you don't have to call yourself a concubine, just call me."

Shi Lingyi was taken aback: "Prince, this... this is not in compliance with the rules."

"There are so many rules. How we get along in private is our own business. We just need to pay attention to outsiders."

Shi Lingyi hesitated and agreed.

Glancing at the clock, Yinfeng said: "Let's go. Breakfast will be served in the Compassion Palace. Mother Uku must have ordered someone to prepare it for us."

After all, he stretched out his hand to hold Shi Lingyi, as if the two of them had done this action countless times, it was extremely natural.Shi Lingyi paused for a moment, shook hands with a smile, and went out with Yinrong.

Cining Palace.

The Empress Dowager is already waiting, and some servants have already prepared the futon.Yinfeng took Shi Lingyi to kneel down three times and kowtow nine times, and the Empress Dowager called the two of them up, and talked with them affectionately.

It can be seen that the Empress Dowager is really happy, she has been looking forward to Yinfeng getting married, and now that her long-cherished wish has been fulfilled, she is very happy, the smile on her face never stops, and she even gave a lot of generous gifts.Some are for Yinfeng, and more are for Shi Lingyi.

Rewards from the elders are normal, but the problem is that the Empress Dowager gave too much, each one is a treasure and is of great value.Shi Lingyi was quite disturbed and looked at Yinfeng.Yinfeng is not guilty at all of accepting: "Mother Wuku gave it to us, we just keep it. Mother Wuku has a lot of good things in her private treasury. If we don't want it, we will be deceived by our younger brothers when they get married. , thanks to us!"

Shi Lingyi: ...

The Empress Dowager scolded: "Aside from you, who else would come to coax me into these things?"

Yinfeng said with a playful smile: "That's because Wuku's mother loves me and is willing to be coaxed by me. Otherwise, you would have seen through my tricks."

The Empress Dowager snorted, acquiesced, and asked again: "Have you had breakfast yet?"

Yinrong shook his head.

The empress dowager was busy making dinner.When the same food was served, the portion was obviously not for the Empress Dowager alone.Yinfeng blinked at Shi Lingyi, as if to say: Look, what Gu said is right, Wuku's mother made preparations early in the morning.Shi Lingyi smiled lightly and remained silent.

After the two accompanied the Empress Dowager to finish their meal, Yinfeng and Shi Lingyi stood up and left, and then went to Shoukang Palace.The relationship between Yinreng and the queen mother is not bad, but not too good.Too much respect, not enough closeness.Therefore, after kneeling three times and knocking nine times according to the etiquette system, I sat down and talked for a while, and then it was over.Compared with the warmth of the Compassionate Palace, it is polite and distant.

In Qianqing Palace, Kangxi had just come down to court, counting the time and guessing that Yinfeng should come, when he heard a vaguely familiar voice from outside, Kangxi pursed his lips lightly, and said without waiting for the servant to report: "Not coming in yet!"

After a while, Yinfeng walked into the hall, followed by Shi Lingyi.

This was the first time Kangxi saw Shi Lingyi.He pointed out that before the marriage, he sent someone to check on Shi Lingyi.I have checked her character, her character, and her way of dealing with people and dealing with things. I also heard that she is beautiful, but she has never been painted or seen in person.

He knew Shi Lingyi's boudoir name, Shi Lingyi's status in the family, and many things about Shi Lingyi, but he didn't know her specific appearance.

Seeing him today, Kangxi was stunned on the spot, his heart tightened unconsciously, and his breathing became short of breath.He didn't speak, he couldn't even speak, the turmoil in his heart couldn't be calmed down.

Why is this happening?how so!

Kangxi fell into a brainstorm in an instant. He didn't know how the servants prepared, let alone how Yinreng and Shi Lingyi saluted. The scene in front of him seemed to be distorted suddenly, and the faces of Yinreng and Shi Lingyi began to mature little by little. Become one with the old, and the dreamer.

The first scene in the dream was that he reprimanded Yinreng for being unfaithful and unfilial, having no king and no father, born to restrain his mother, and ordered Yinreng to be imprisoned.At that time, Yinreng knelt down and cried for an explanation, and the person kneeling beside him was the Crown Princess.And that princess looks exactly the same as Shi Lingyi.

Kangxi's heart contracted even tighter, his complexion turned pale, and his figure trembled.

"Khan Ama! Khan Ama!"

Liang Jiugong sensed something was wrong, and called out close to him: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

One sentence brought Kangxi back to his thoughts, and the phantom in front of him gradually receded and returned to normal. Yinfeng and Shi Lingyi knelt down in the hall, similar to the posture in the dream. Only worries about him.

"Khan Ama, what's wrong with you?"

Kangxi took a deep breath, and quietly clenched his hands hanging behind his back, barely regaining his sanity.Can't be chaotic, must not be chaotic!Can't show anything wrong.Yinfeng just got married, so I can't have any accidents, can't show strange emotions, and can't let people spread bad rumors.

He calmed down, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "It's nothing, I was distracted for a while thinking about the court affairs. What's the matter?"

Yinfeng frowned slightly, it didn't look like he was distracted by the affairs of the court.Not to mention that he didn't believe it, even Shi Lingyi didn't believe it, and his heart became more and more disturbed.

Liang Jiugong reminded: "Your Majesty, the prince and concubine have already kneeled three times and kowtowed nine times."

Strictly speaking, Shi Lingyi should be the concubine after conferring the title, but she has already married in, and she is the legitimate wife of Kangxi's marriage.

Just like some empresses in the harem, Kangxi has been conferred by Jin Dynasty, but the canonization ceremony has been postponed, and the title can be changed at this time.Therefore, Liang Jiugong's phrase "princess concubine" is not wrong if he doesn't pick a bone in the egg.

Kangxi saw that the two were still kneeling, so he hurriedly called to get up, and ordered the servants to watch their seats.

"Have you been to the Compassion Palace?"

"I've been there. Breakfast is served in the Compassion Palace."

"Where is Shoukang Palace?"

"I've been there too."

Kangxi nodded slightly: "In that case, you should go back first. I still have some things to deal with."

Yinfeng was stunned, and Kangxi said again: "Yesterday's wedding ceremony was cumbersome, didn't you say you were too tired? Go back and rest."

Yinfeng had no choice but to get up and leave, and took Shi Lingyi out.

in the temple.

Seeing Yinfeng leaving, Kangxi seemed to let out a sigh of relief, and slumped on the seat: "Liang Jiugong, help me go to the inner room."

Liang Jiugong was terrified, and tremblingly stepped forward to help, "What's wrong with the emperor? Do you want to call the imperial doctor?"

Just after the crown prince got married, the emperor fell ill and asked the imperial doctor?Within a day, the words of His Majesty the Crown Princess Xing Ke will be heard.Although this rumor is most unfavorable to the Crown Princess, it is also unfavorable to Yinfeng.

Kangxi shook his head: "No need, I'm just a little tired, I'll just rest for a while. You're guarding the Qianqing Palace, I don't want this matter to spread, even sporadic words, you understand!"

Facing Kangxi's fierce gaze, Liang Jiugong was startled, and quickly responded.

On the other side, Yinreng and Shi Lingyi had already returned to Yuqing Palace.Shi Lingyi hesitated to speak: "Prince, Your Majesty..."

"Didn't Khan Ama say that there is nothing to do? He must be tired of the affairs of the court. There are many affairs in the court these days."

Shi Lingyi couldn't feel at ease with such rhetoric.She just got married and met her father-in-law on the first day, and his father-in-law is still the emperor. The emperor's attitude can almost be said to determine her future fate, but today's situation is especially wrong.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard outside that the Qianqing Palace had sent someone to bring him a reward.A bunch of things, dazzling.Yinfeng pointed to all kinds of treasures and said to Shi Lingyi: "Most of them are for women's households, so it can be seen that they are all for you."

Shi Lingyi understood Yinreng's meaning.If the emperor doesn't like her, if so many things will be rewarded.It was logically the same, not to mention that she was chosen by the emperor himself for the crown prince.If he wasn't satisfied, he wouldn't have chosen her back then.only……

Yinfeng pulled her to sit down: "Stop thinking about it, take a break, isn't this kneeling person tired? You are not tired, but Gu is so tired. The number of times Gu kneels throughout the year is not as many as these two days .”

Shi Lingyi: ...

Kneeling back and forth is nothing more than kneeling three times and nine times to the empress dowager and the emperor.As the crown prince, the rest of the concubines are not qualified to accept the gift, so it's more than a year?Then the number of times you kneel in a whole year is really low enough.

Yinfeng raised his eyebrows: "In the past, except when he made a mistake, who would kneel down so seriously. Gu has never kneeled like this before asking for rewards during the New Year."

Shi Lingyi: ...Who doesn't kneel respectfully?I'm afraid you are the only one who doesn't have to bow down seriously.As for the previous sentence that made a mistake, Shi Lingyi automatically ignored it, out of concern for Yinfeng's face.

Yinfeng waved his hand: "Let's not talk about this anymore. You just entered the palace, so let Gu tell you about the situation in the palace. There is no heir in the palace now, and the nobleman Niu Gulu is in charge of the palace power. She has a good relationship with Gu. There is a sense that the well water does not interfere with the river water. The concubine Yi has a bright temper and a clear mind, she is a smart person."

A smart person is knowledgeable and will not do stupid things, and a clear mind means that he can see the situation clearly.Can make friends and get along with each other.Shi Lingyi understood.

"The third brother and the fourth brother have the best relationship with Gu, followed by the seventh brother. Therefore, you can walk around with the concubine Rong and the concubine Cheng. As for the birth mother of the fourth brother, it is not a secret. Wu Ya is now in the cold palace, you I know it, so don't bother. The fourth brother also understands right and wrong in his heart.

"Concubine Tong has no contact with Gu Su, and has no conflicts. She is not good at power, and she is not obsessed with holy favors. Earlier, she devoted herself to raising her eleventh younger brother. It’s easy to understand. You don’t participate in any battles in the palace. The rest are the secret concubines, you can go to Xianfu Palace often, whether you’re chatting with the secret concubine or seeing the sixth younger sister and the fourteenth brother.”

Due to various butterfly effects, Forlana is now ranked sixth among the princesses.Shi Lingyi responded one by one.Yinreng called all the eunuchs and maids of Yuqing Palace over to let her recognize their faces.

"Little pillars and small pools are all for orphans. If you need to contact the outside of the palace, you can find them. Xia Cao has been with Gu for many years. Now that she is old, Gu plans to find an opportunity to release her. When the time comes She will probably join the Textile Chamber to help Taji Guli."

If it is said that Shi Lingyi may not know who Taji Guli is before, but she has been in contact with Bai Shaoqin for a long time, and she already knows.Taji Guli is Bai Shaoqin, and Bai Shaoqin is Taji Guli.

"Join the chamber of commerce?"

"Well. Since you are in the palace, it is inconvenient to go out often, so you can't manage the affairs of the chamber of commerce. Guo Luoluo, as the king of Hejun Fujin, has many other things to be busy with, and there are not many things he can manage. Tajigu alone Li is naturally too busy. I can help her when Xia Cao passes by. If you have any ideas and countermeasures for the chamber of commerce, you can also tell Xia Cao."

Shi Lingyi opened her eyes wide: "Can I continue to manage the chamber of commerce?"

"Why not? Don't you still have a textile factory? Didn't the Shi family already give it to you under your name? Don't you need to take care of it? The factory is in charge, and the chamber of commerce is also in charge. It's the same. But you are in the palace. Many things are inconvenient, but it is possible to make overall arrangements. The rest of the details can be handed over to the people below. Hmm..."

Yinfeng thought for a while, and then said: "Well, let's just move the small pool to you alone. It will be more convenient for you to do things in this way. When you have cultivated someone who is competent, you can return him."

The corners of Shi Lingyi's mouth rose slowly, and a light flashed in his eyes.It was her idea that the prince supported Tajiguli and offered a lot of help to the textile chamber of commerce, how could she not allow it.It was she who underestimated his mind and vision, he was not an ordinary man.At this moment, Shi Lingyi was suddenly extremely grateful that the person she married was the prince.

Whose man would be so patient and talk to her about the relationship between the various parties in the family; who would be so meticulous and personally summon slaves and servants to meet her; who would be so generous that she would still retain a high degree of autonomy after marriage, even He also appointed his own people to help her.

Thinking like this, Shi Lingyi felt as sweet as eating honey.Instead of refusing, she responded with a smile: "Okay!"

Yinfeng told her some taboos in the palace and things to pay attention to, and then said: "I asked Aunt Fang to hand over the personnel booklet of Yuqing Palace to you, and you should familiarize yourself with the rules and other matters in our own palace first. Familiar, if you don’t understand, just ask Aunt Fang. Go to the study alone.”

Coming out of the inner room, Yinreng called Xiao Zhuzi aside: "Pay more attention to Qianqing Palace, and report to Gu immediately if there is any movement."

"Yes."

Strictly speaking, Yinfeng's move can be regarded as spying on the emperor's trace, which is not appropriate.But in view of his status in the emperor's mind, he gave such an order, and Xiao Zhuzi agreed without saying anything.

Yinreng looked in the direction of the Qianqing Palace, and frowned slightly. At this moment, there was no news from the Qianqing Palace, so Kangxi should be fine. Otherwise, Liang Jiugong would never have dared to do so even if Kangxi had ordered it.The hematemesis coma and the madness during the western expedition to Junggar must have never happened, but even so, Yinfeng still showed worry.

Although he told Shi Lingyi that it was nothing, and found a lot of things for Shi Lingyi to divert her attention, how could he not see the strangeness of Kangxi.And he can see better.

Because Shi Lingyi was a new wife, she was nervous and restrained, so she didn't dare to face Shengyan presumptuously when she was in the palace.But he saw it for real.

He entered the hall first, and Kangxi still had a smile on his face when he saw him, but it changed suddenly the moment he saw Shi Lingyi.Especially after Kangxi stared closely at Shi Lingyi's face for a long time.When they kneeled three times and kowtowed nine times, Kangxi's eyes gradually lost focus, as if he was looking at something else through them.

Thinking that Kangxi had seen a dream, Yinfeng had some guesses in his mind. If he was right, Shi Lingyi appeared in Kangxi's dream.Today he discovered that Shi Lingyi was exactly like the person in his dream.

Yinreng sighed helplessly, turned around and entered the study room, grinded the paper, and began to write.What is written is not a serious strategy for the court, nor is it an invention and research, but a script—a script specially prepared for Kangxi.
