In June of the twenty-second year of Kangxi, it was a hot summer, and the imperial concubine walked in the yard with a big belly, exercising more and striving for childbirth, and suffering less crimes. Lin Zhenyu went to the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother to say goodbye after school, and finally came to Chengqian Palace, as soon as she stepped into the palace gate, she saw the imperial concubine walking around with the support of all the palace maids.

"E-niang." Lin Zhenyu stepped forward and did not help the imperial concubine, mainly because he was still young and could not help much, so it would be good if he didn't help.

The imperial concubine was very happy, she also walked for about two quarters of an hour, and her son came, taking this opportunity to return to the palace.

As soon as the palace maid and the grandmother were ready for the snacks and tea, they withdrew from the hall one after another, leaving the two mothers and sons to talk well.

Because Concubine De was also pregnant, the imperial concubine asked Lin Zhenyu to take the initiative to show favor to Yonghe Palace a few days ago, but Lin Zhenyu listened to it but did not make any movement. After the two mothers and sons talked, the imperial concubine hesitated and said, "Little four, Concubine De, you really don't want to take a look?" You Khan Ama has not changed your jade butterfly, so as you grow up, this question will be raised sooner or later, and you will be in a dilemma when the time comes. ”

Lin Zhenyu's faint expression: "Eniang, don't worry about this." As long as you don't die as early as before, Concubine De and I are actually the relationship between the prince and the concubine, and there is no need to do anything deliberately. ”

The imperial concubine frowned, since the last time her son said that she would come back from the dead, although she knew something about herself, she still didn't know anything about her son, seeing that he was so indifferent to Concubine De, the relationship between the two mothers and sons was not good.

"Well, E-Niang will live happily and hard, so as not to let Xiaosi fall into such an embarrassing situation."

Lin Zhenyu has no resistance to Concubine De, since she knows what kind of person she is, the two of them are fine in their respective lives.

"Eniang, Guo Luomafa and Amba Guo Luomafa have done a lot of things recently, fanning the flames between the eldest brother and the crown prince." Lin Zhenyu frowned, "Guo Luomafa also intends to target the Niu Colu family, Eniang, let Guo Luomafa not go overboard, anyway, sooner or later Khan Ama will eat the consequences." ”

The imperial concubine was full of doubts, she knew about the affairs of the court, but it was only the surface of the situation, anyway, the confrontation between the eldest brother and the prince had almost reached the surface, and she never expected that there would be the participation of her mother's family.

"I know, I'm afraid that you, Guo Luomafa, are complaining about me." The imperial concubine couldn't help but smile bitterly, she was hesitating to tell her mother's family what the emperor and the queen mother had done, but not to mention, if she only gave birth to a Gege, she was afraid that the little sister would not be able to escape the fate of entering the palace, so she told her mother's family most of the facts.

Lin Zhenyu nodded: "Khan Ama is very patient with the Tong family, but the Empress Dowager may not be very tolerant of the Tong family. Let the Tong family not go too far, the confrontation between the prince and the eldest brother, don't get involved, there is no point. ”

The next day, the Hesheri clan came to visit the imperial concubine, and the imperial concubine once again expressed her opinion, asking her father and uncle not to get involved in the affairs of the crown prince and the eldest brother, anyway, if they don't die, they will watch the death between the emperor, the eldest brother, and the prince.

The Hesheri clan conveyed the meaning of the imperial concubine, and Tong Guowei and Tong Guogang really stopped a lot, but Tong Guogang was a muddy person, he couldn't find anything to do, and he was hanging around with a bird cage on the street all day long.

Lin Zhenyu left the palace again and was stopped by Tong Guogang.

"Fourth Elder Brother?!" Tong Guogang's voice was very loud, and when he shouted out, everyone on the street looked at Lin Zhenyu, and those who were in official positions hurriedly called Lin Zhenyu a thousand, and many women or girls from unusual backgrounds that Lin Zhenyu knew looked at him curiously.

Lin Zhenyu was very helpless, turned around, and asked, "Lord Tong, but what's the matter?" ”

Tong Guogang ran over in three or two steps, looking like a naughty boy, "It's really the fourth elder brother, the slave thought it was wrong." How did you get out of the palace? You are so small, the imperial concubine can rest assured that you will come out? Shouldn't you go to school in your study at this time? ”

Lin Zhenyu raised her eyebrows, and said in her heart, can't he skip class? Classes were too boring, and at the beginning of Kangxi's twenty-second year, he learned to skip class.

"Master Tong, what's the matter?"

Tong Guogang laughed, took Lin Zhenyu's arm, and went directly to the restaurant next to him, "Let's go, the slave invites you to dinner." ”

About an hour later, Lin Zhenyu came out of the restaurant, took the gadgets he had bought before, and returned to the palace slowly. In addition to the toys he bought for his three younger brothers, there were also two pots of flowers that were blooming brightly, and judging from his extraordinary eyes now, these flowers were of good quality, and they were placed in the courtyard of Chengqian Palace to clean the air.

The imperial concubine was very happy that her son brought her gifts every time she went out, and the two pots of flowers in full bloom, although they seemed to be just small wildflowers in the mountains, they were placed in a pile of precious flowers, and they also complemented each other.

For Kangxi who came to see her just now, let her take care of her son, and skip class if she has nothing to do, although the prince does not need to pass the imperial examination to seek a future like ordinary people, but he can't be too poorly educated, and if people say anything in the future, they can't answer, which is a big shame, and the imperial concubine doesn't mention it at all.

Back at the elder brother's office, six, seven, eighty, and three elder brothers had already arrived, and these three had been in the study for a day, and they were a little sloppy.

"Fourth brother, you're skipping class again." Yinzuo said pitifully, Kangxi's one hundred and twenty readings ** is really an unprecedented torture for him.

Yinyou glanced at the fourth brother shyly, Xiao Yinyou was still very happy to be able to stay with all the brothers in the upper study, as for one hundred and twenty times, what is it? He didn't know a few words.

Yinyu is also okay, he has already learned it once, although it has been a long time, some have forgotten it, but the one hundred and twenty times in his previous life to study ** is not useless, he can recite it after reading it carefully a few times. However, since the beginning of this year, he has been very congested, because the fourth brother, who used to be the most industrious, has skipped class one after another, and most of the time is when he picks Khan Ama to investigate.

Lin Zhenyu raised her eyebrows: "You can also skip class." ”

Yinzuo is a guy who remembers eating and not fighting, and soon came back to life full of blood, beckoning the palace maid and the little eunuch to prepare a hot pot for him, and he is going to eat hot pot with his brothers and brothers.

Sometimes hot pot is the most powerful to eat in summer.

The people who were waiting around the four of them quickly prepared the food, but when they heard the sound of footsteps and talking from outside the elder brother's house, the six, seven, eighty, and three elder brothers swallowed the food in their mouths eagerly, and Lin Zhenyu continued to slowly and methodically soaking the mutton skewers.

"Hey, the four of you are doing better than I have been doing this day." Kangxi is in a very good mood, followed by the eldest elder brother, the crown prince and the third elder brother, and the fifth elder brother is by the side of the queen mother, and he does not often contact the brothers.

"See Khan Amma." The salute was also procrastinated, and Kangxi waved his hand, not caring about it, "Okay, I still think you are so fierce to you." So saying, he told the eunuch and the palace maid to prepare a few more meals, and he would use them with his sons for dinner tonight.

Except for the seventh elder brother Yinyou, who is an innocent child, everyone else has their own thoughts, but under the whitewashing of the peace, this dinner was happy, Kangxi laughed again and again, and his son still wants to love each other.

On the willow top of the moon, the hustle and bustle of the elder brother stopped, with Kangxi's permission, tomorrow he will go to the study for a day off, six, seven or eight are the happiest, the fourth elder brother is paralyzed as always, Kangxi doesn't want to embarrass himself anymore.

Maybe it was Kangxi's example that played a role, and the disputes in the court weakened a lot in the next few days, and the two adults, Suo Etu and Mingzhu, did not fight each other in the court, and they retreated from each other, which was really incomprehensible to others.

On June 26, the imperial concubine launched, and after two hours of difficult production process, she successfully gave birth to a Gege, the imperial concubine sweated a wet face, looking at her infant daughter, and her mood was a little complicated. In this era, except for men, women's lives are unsatisfactory, especially the royal princess, who is going to marry to Mongolia, and the imperial concubine decided that her daughter will never marry to Mongolia no matter what.

The concubines of the harem had different reactions when they knew that the imperial concubine gave birth to a Gege, and the reactions of the three pregnant women were the most different, Concubine Yi was quite disdainful, Concubine De was relieved, and the concubine was a little sad, she hoped that she could give birth to an elder brother. As for the others who have not given birth to a son and a half daughter, they hope that even if it is a Gege, as long as it is born by herself, it will be good.

After the imperial concubine cleaned up, Lin Zhenyu was the first to enter the delivery room, Kangxi's eyelids teased, this son he has given up on transformation, he doesn't hesitate and doesn't listen, what can he do?

Kangxi saw his daughter, and after saying a few words to the imperial concubine at the door, he left, and when the congratulatory concubines left, Yinzuo also ran into the delivery room with a few twists, Yinyou didn't understand this, and followed the sixth brother to the delivery room. What's the big deal.

Although the imperial concubine was a little tired, she didn't fall asleep, and when she saw the six, seven, eighty, and three elder brothers coming in, she didn't take it seriously, and smiled so that the three elder brothers could see the eight grids, and also smiled and asked the three elder brothers to be a little man, and they would protect their sister in the future.

Ba Ge Ge is healthy, and the Tai Doctor has seen the pulse, but if it is a congenital genetic problem, the Tai Yi can't see it, and can only distinguish it when Ba Ge gradually grows up.

On the 26th of leap June, the full moon of Ba Gege, in order to show his attention to the imperial concubine and the Tong family, Kangxi immediately sealed Ba Ge as Princess Luoyi and the fifth princess on the day of the full moon.

Lin Zhenyu said in her heart, snatching the ranking of Princess Wenxian of the Nine Ge Gwen Xian that Concubine De was about to give birth to, Princess Wen Xian would be the sixth princess as expected.

As for the resentment of the concubines who have daughters in the harem, it is not a little bit, just because they want to give the fifth princess a title and a prelude, the eldest princess, the second princess, the third princess, and the fourth princess are in the turn of the prologue, but they do not have a title, and the general title is that when they are about to marry after the concubine, the emperor will give the title.

The Tong family is completely dead, Tong Guowei and Tong Guogang Yan Tou drooped for several days before they recovered, and the two of them didn't have the heart to block the eldest brother and the prince, and they were thinking about the future.

In August, the fifth princess has been three months, but in these three months, some problems have been found in the fifth princess, her reaction is slow, called her, it takes a long time for her to react, because she is still young, more obvious, the reaction is not a beat slower, but several beats slower.

The imperial concubine was worried, Lin Zhenyu sighed, he had considered this problem before he was born, but he still didn't tell the imperial concubine, after all, there are more people who have joined cousins and sisters, and the imperial concubine may not be so unlucky, but she doesn't want the imperial concubine's luck to be so unlucky, and the fifth princess has some problems intellectually.

"E-Niang, the fifth sister seems to be just slow to react, and there is no other problem, this qiē requires E-niang to be patient and teach the fifth sister slowly, although she is not as good as a normal person in the future, she will not have a problem in her own life."

The imperial concubine was in tears, holding her son's hand and not letting go, now her son can comfort her, Kangxi knew that Princess Luoyi might be a fool, her face was stretched for a long time, before the seventh elder brother Yinyou grew an extra toe, Kangxi reflected for a long time, and then saw that there was nothing wrong with Yinyou, so he was gradually relieved. Now the daughter may be a fool again, which can make those anti-Qing and anti-Ming thieves find an excuse to attack and destroy, what emperor does not cultivate virtue, and the child born is a fool, which is God's punishment

"Little Four, how can this be? My body is fine, and the emperor's health is also very good, how can Wu'er become a fool? ”

Lin Zhenyu couldn't help but have a deep face, and shouted loudly: "Eniang, please calm down." The fifth sister is not stupid, she is just a little slower than the average person. ”

The imperial concubine was regained a trace of consciousness by her son's reprimand, and only after half a sound did she let go of her son's hand, and sighed: "Maybe I really shouldn't have a child." ”

"E-niang, it's not your problem. You and Khan Ama are cousins, they are too close by blood, and the chances of giving birth to children are greater than ordinary people's, and you can't blame you. ”

The imperial concubine whimpered, "Why is my cousin like this? I don't think this is the case with some cousins in Beijing. ”

Lin Zhenyu said helplessly: "I didn't say that there would be a problem, but the probability is greater than that of ordinary people." Those people in Beijing, even if they gave birth to problematic children, they would have dealt with it earlier, where would it be exposed. Could it be that the fifth sister reacts more slowly, so you don't care about her? ”

The imperial concubine immediately glared, and the handkerchief in her hand was thrown behind the back of the chair, "I'm so bad?" That's my daughter, how could she not care. I'm just worried about her life later on. ”

"The fifth sister is a princess, and there will be a bunch of people around her to serve her in the future, so she doesn't need to worry about life." Lin Zhenyu is even more helpless, it seems that the imperial concubine is becoming more and more dependent on the old and selling the young in him.

It was only after talking about it that the imperial concubine was finally appeased, and she began to think about studying some books on children's education.

While the harem was waiting to see, Concubine Yi gave birth to an elder brother on the 27th, with the preface of the ninth elder brother, named Yinyu. Yinxi was the happiest, and the reactions of the others were all plain.

Yinyu also wanted to visit the ninth brother for the first time, but unfortunately Concubine Yi guarded them like a wolf, and didn't let them see Yinyu at all, Yinyu sighed, before Yinyu grew up, I was afraid that Concubine Yi would not give them a chance to contact Yinyu at all, who told Concubine Yi to look down on him for having a mother who was a slave from Xinzhiku, and had a great friendship with the sixth elder brother, you must know that Concubine De and Concubine Yi are equally favored in front of the emperor, and the two often say goodbye to each other.

Yinyou had a faint sadness in her heart, Yinzuo pulled Yinyou and kept chattering in front.

"Hmph, the queen mother gave birth to her fifth sister and didn't hide it to let us see it, didn't she give birth to an elder brother? Do you need to be so defending? We're not going to do anything. ”

The three of them ran to Lin Zhenyu and became embarrassed, Lin Zhenyu knew what was going on, but she didn't bother to ask. If you talk about these concubines in the harem, he doesn't think very much of Concubine Yi, Concubine Yi is the most eye-catching, high-handed, low-handed, looking down on this and looking down on that, and it is also called a straightforward and happy heart, which is not described like this.

After a while, Yinzuo cheered up and put his hands on the shoulders of his two younger brothers, "Seventh brother and eighth brother, don't be unhappy, when my Eniang is born next month, Eniang will not stop us from seeing my sister." ”

Lin Zhenyu glanced at Yinzuo, this baby is low-key, but she is often unintentional, but fortunately, no one notices what he says.

Yinyou nodded again and again: "Okay, okay, with a fifth sister, it's not bad to have another sixth sister." ”

Yinzuo also glanced at Yinzuo, he was thinking, why did Yinzuo know that Concubine De's fetus was a character? Could it be the rebirth of Yinzuo, who died at the age of six? But it's not like it at all.

In mid-September, Concubine De gave birth to Jiugege, the sixth princess of the preface, and was carried to the Queen Mother's palace to raise her at the full moon. Concubine De has always been satisfied with her son Yinzuo's requirements, so on the day of delivery, Liuqiba Shun saw the newborn sixth princess in the delivery room. Concubine De also gave birth to a little Gege last year, and died of illness two months later, without a tooth.

At the same time, in mid-October, the concubine Niu Colu gave birth to the tenth elder brother Yinru, Yinyu pulled the two elder brothers to run to the palace of the concubine excitedly, this time was not blocked, and Shun Lì saw Yinru, who was taller than others and was more red than others.

"The tenth brother is so big, he will definitely grow strong in the future!" Yinzuo babbled.

The concubine's eyes were full of smiles, "Borrowing the words of the sixth elder brother, in the future, Xiao Shi will grow strong and healthy, and I, who is a mother, will be full of joy." ”

The three children looked at the tenth brother as if they were strange, and finally finished and left happily.

The concubine breathed a sigh of relief, and the grandmother next to her complained a little, "Niangniang, you have just given birth and are tired, why bother to entertain the three elder brothers in person." The three elder brothers are still young, their hands and feet are not light or heavy, our little elder brother has just been born"

The concubine beat the words of the weaning grandmother, and said lightly: "Mama, the three elder brothers are the elder brothers of the tenth elder brother, and they can't make a forest alone, I just hope that the tenth elder brother will make a few confidant brothers in the future, and with the help of brothers, he will live happily in this royal family." In the future, the three elder brothers will come to see the little elder brother, and they must not be stopped, just let the palace maids take care of them more. ”

The concubine gave birth to the elder brother, the Niu Co Lu family was jubilant, Tong Guowei and Tong Guogang couldn't stand it, and secretly stumbled on the Niu Co Lu family, Suo Etu and Mingzhu also secretly added a fire, Niu Co Lu is also a big family, even if the concubine's maiden family made a mistake in helping Kangxi, it will not hinder the entire big family, these are the threats of the eldest brother and the prince, if from the background, only the newly born ten elder brothers can be compared with the identity of the prince, as for the fourth elder brother under the name of the imperial concubine, she was not born after all, Yudie hasn't changed yet.

Kangxi, who is sitting firmly in Diaoyutai, has recently been a little unable to understand the way his two uncles act, these two people are like-stirring sticks, stabbing here and stumbling there, there is nothing they are not involved in, he really can't understand. So Kangxi summoned the two uncles and asked Long Keduo and Oro Dai if they were going to be in office, and he arranged a position, which meant that the two uncles were a little bit apart.

Tong Guowei refused, "Your Majesty, the slave has been giving Long Keduo a blind date recently, there is a way to start a family first and then start a business, and the errand is still after Long Keduo gets married, and then the slave will come to ask the emperor to decide." ”

Tong Guogang was bearded and scolded: "Oro Dai didn't listen to Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu taught him a hard lesson, recently he enlightened his little grandson at home, and when he reflected, the slave came to the emperor again to decide." ”

The corners of Kangxi's mouth twitched, and he waved his hand to let the two uncles leave, he didn't care about the two uncles, as long as the two didn't do anything rebellious, then it didn't matter.

As soon as Tong Guowei returned home, he urged the Hesheri clan to enter the palace to discuss Long Keduo's marriage with the imperial concubine and whose family to marry. Hesheri intends to marry her mother's family, she is optimistic about her niece, and she is a good daughter-in-law candidate. When Hesheri and the imperial concubine mentioned their maiden niece, the imperial concubine did not object, but said that she wanted to see her, and let the Hesheri clan enter the palace next time, and bring a few more nieces into the palace together.

Lin Zhenyu didn't know about this at first, but when the Hesheri clan brought his niece and granddaughter into the palace again, he happened to be bumped into by Lin Zhenyu, who came to ask for peace.

After the Hesheri clan left with his nieces and granddaughters, Lin Zhenyu was still thinking about whether to participate in this matter.

Seeing that her son's face was full of confusion, the imperial concubine asked funny: "Little Four, do you have any questions?" ”

Lin Zhenyu simply sat in front of the imperial concubine, "Eniang, Uncle Long Keduo is only fifteen years old, right?" In fact, there is no need to be in such a hurry to get married. ”

The imperial concubine's face immediately changed, and she stared at her son and asked, "You tell me what you know, I still have the right to oppose Long Keduo's marriage." ”

Lin Zhenyu pursed her mouth, and said about Long Keduo's private affairs in 1510, and the imperial concubine's face changed greatly, changing back and forth, and she slapped the soft collapse quite angrily.

"Long Keduo's temperament is indeed a bit confused, and he should be re-educated. I must choose a high-flying wife for him, I don't believe that I can't cure him! ”

Since Long Keduo could not escape the beauty pass, Lin Zhenyu just said: "Maybe Uncle Long Keduo has never seen such a strange woman." "Commonly known as a woman who is sick and likes to toss him.

Then the imperial concubine diverged her thinking, and felt that she should let her younger brother see women with various characteristics, lively, well-behaved, gentle and naughty, so in the next three years, Long Keduo not only had to be trained in the difficult and remote environment of the army, but also had to deal with all kinds of women who appeared inexplicably, so that Long Keduo could return from school, and when his parents mentioned the matter of marriage again, he refused directly, he was not married, women were so terrible, or Heschelis was embarrassed, and he was embarrassed to tell him that Long Kedo was his sister in order to train him and test him, Find out so many different women, and say that you can't choose yourself, then let the emperor marry Long Keduo in tears, and the sadness flows backwards!
