87. Before the New Year's banquet

A little eunuch stood in front of the teahouse near the left side of the Dongnuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace with a light box and a hunched neck, with lamps and stoves on the outside of the teahouse, and it was dark inside.

The little eunuch held his breath and whispered, "Grandpa Liang, it's time to get up." ”

Liang Jiugong in the house had already woken up, was closing his eyes and knocking his teeth, and counted a hundred times silently in his heart, just when he heard the voice of the little eunuch screaming, he cleared his throat and hummed.

The little eunuch came in, brought hot water from the tea stove in the tea room, mixed it, and brought it to the back room.

Liang Jiugong had already sat up, and the little eunuch put down the copper basin and knelt down to put on his shoes for him.

After washing, Liang Jiugong ate a few pieces of yesterday's osmanthus cake in the tea room with hot tea, and the dry puffing cake made him stare at him, and he swallowed a few sips of tea before going down. After eating a plate of cakes, he rinsed his mouth, and he was relieved to smell no peculiar smell. Waiting in front of the master, he didn't dare to eat the real food for three meals a day, for fear of bringing the smell or staining some vegetable leaves between his teeth and provoking the master's eyes.

Dim sum, sweet and floral, it doesn't matter if you leak some flavors.

Before going out, Liang Jiugong asked the little eunuch: "Did you rest well last night?" ”

The little eunuch bowed his head and said, "I just rested for two hours when I listened, and then I woke up." ”

Liang Jiugong sighed, lifted his feet out of the house, and walked quickly to the warm pavilion.

The emperor is getting older, and he feels less and less.

The people waiting outside the warm pavilion got up, and everyone in every room stood in the dark, waiting for the emperor to get up before they went up to wait. In the past, they could light the lamp and work if the emperor didn't get up, but after Liang Jiugong found that the emperor's consciousness was getting less and less, he didn't allow them to light the lamp before the emperor got up.

Fortunately, the people who can wait in the Qianqing Palace are all capable people, and after a while, everyone has practiced a pair of night owl eyes. Now they go outside to pick people in, and they must first try to pour a cup of tea without leaking a drop of water in a room where there is no light.

As soon as Liang Jiugong arrived, everyone saluted and saw the blessing with half a short body, but no one spoke, all of them were dumb, the palace maids lowered their eyebrows, and the eunuchs beat thousands.

Liang Jiugong waved his hand hastily, and everyone stepped back to make way for him. A few eunuchs retreated to the window of the warm pavilion, making Liang Jiugong's eyes widen and pointing fiercely, all of them bent their legs and lowered their legs.

What should I do if the shadow of a person shines on the window and disturbs the master's sleep?

Don't look at the crowd of people outside the house, it's silent. Liang Jiugong stood in front of the door, took a breath, and called softly: "Long live Lord, it's time to start." ”

In the house, Kangxi was lying on the couch, his hands were clenched in front of his abdomen, and even the quilt covering his body was not messy. He was still thinking about the fold before he went to bed yesterday, and he woke up early today, but it was not yet time to get up when he looked at the sky outside the window. In terms of self-cultivation, people must sleep enough hours every day, otherwise they will have no energy and will not be good for their health.

Therefore he did not get up either, but lay down with his eyes closed. But the more he lay down, the more energetic he became, so he had to continue to think about the folding.

Somehow, today he thought of King Zhijun. Probably yesterday at the table I saw the king of Naojun drinking at the bar.

Kangxi let out a long sigh in his heart. Baoqing is his fifth son, and four elder brothers have died before him. At that time, it had been less than 50 years since the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, and every day when I opened my eyes, the world was full of rebellion. Kangxi really thought at that time that if they couldn't sit firmly in this imperial court, they would have a big deal and retreat outside the gate.

But thinking of letting go of this low-hanging fruit, Kangxi was unwilling. He thought that if he really took the Manchu people and was driven back by the Han people, he would see the first emperor Shunzhi in the future, and he would die a sin.

He named Yinchu Baoqing, and wanted to connect the national fortune of the Qing Dynasty with this son. He thought that if God let Daqing come to sit on this country, he would not take this son away.

As a result, from the beginning of Yinchu, the brothers were gradually able to survive.

Kangxi always felt that this was a revelation from God, and God was telling him that the Qing Dynasty was stable, and it was the destiny of Heaven for Aixin Jueluo to sit on this throne.

Therefore, it is logical for Feng Yinren to be the prince. In Kangxi's heart, the eldest brother is not much lighter than Yinren. This son is brave, capable, straightforward and scheming. He was deeply loved by the Manchurians and was the Baturu of his Qing Dynasty.

The king of Zhijun got married early, and the first few children were all landed by Kangxi in his 20s, and there was no good news from the prince's side at that time. The first few emperors and grandsons that Kangxi can remember in his heart are all from the Zhijun Wang's family, but the Zhijun King is unlucky, although the children are all grandchildren, the first few are all Gege.

In Kangxi's eyes, he felt that this proved that King Zhijun was just the life of a virtuous king in his life. Otherwise, the prince had children later than him, but the eldest son was born before him. What is this not fate?

People can't resist it. Kangxi has studied both China and the West, but he always feels that there is a providence in the dark. The number of the king's life is like this, and people can't help but sigh when they are also, luck, and life.

Kangxi loved this son, and naturally found that he was drinking at the banquet yesterday. He also asked Liang Jiugong to send a bowl of soup to let him drink something else.

King Zhijun is not stupid, Kangxi naturally knows that this son looks at Lu Zhi, but there is no lack of hills and ravines in his chest. The king of Zhijun, Da Gege Kangxi, was born in the twenty-seventh year, and he is sixteen this year. A few years ago, the king of Zhijun tried from time to time to say that he had shown Da Gege something, but Kangxi never let go.

The princesses in the palace, except for the five princesses of Concubine De, all the rest of them touched Mongolia. Kangxi refused to enter the Mongolian woman in the harem clan, and slowly cleansed the blood of the Mongols in the Manchurian world, but he couldn't really throw Mongolia out. Mongolia is a barrier for the Qing Dynasty, and he must both guard against it and win it over.

Several grids of the Zhijun Wang's family just grew up, filling the pit of the princess in the palace. Kangxi was planning haode early, and even circled several candidates, and the difference was only in where to go to Mongolia.

Horqin is the mother of the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, and pointed out the big Gege of the Zhijun Wang's family, and the emperor also had selfish intentions to take care of and promote this child.

In fact, it's not just the Zhijun Wang family, but now he can't take care of the sons of several larger elder brothers, anyway, when the time comes, the time has come for their own Ama to fold the son for them. But there are a few Gege, and he is already optimistic.

It's just that no matter how good I think, yesterday I saw King Zhijun drinking stuffy wine, and Kangxi's heart softened.

This son is very affectionate, just look at him for so long, and he only loves Chang Fujin in the mansion. Da Gege is the couple's first child, and it is inevitable that he will be reluctant.

Kangxi thought that Da Gege's matter could only make Baoqing feel wronged, so Ergege would follow him and let him find someone by himself. It can be regarded as a fatherly heart of the king of Zhijun.

When Liang Jiugong called up, it was less than three watches, and the emperor has been getting up at this hour for so many years. He wanted the emperor to rest for a while, but no matter how heavy his filial piety was, he couldn't match the emperor's board.

As soon as he shouted outside, Kangxi opened his eyes and said, "Come in." ”

Liang Jiugong only heard the emperor's voice and bowed to the door, saying, "The slave is offended." Then he gently lifted the door and slowly opened it, although the copper pages by the door were oiled, but he was careful not to disturb the master with a screeching sound when he pushed the door.

After entering, the palace maid who followed him first sent the haode lamp into the hall. From the outside to the inside, the inside of the temple is gradually illuminated. There is also a rule, you can't order the master's side at the beginning, otherwise the house is bright, the outside is dark, and the black hole outside the person is shaking? What's wrong with centuries-old palaces? How many emperors of the former Ming Dynasty have died in this Qianqing Palace alone? Even if it's just to ask for good luck, the lamp must be lit to make everyone feel at ease and the master is comfortable.

The lights slowly turned on, and Liang Jiugong knelt down in front of the emperor's couch and kowtowed to ask the emperor to get up.

Kangxi hummed in the tent, and Liang Jiugong asked the palace maids to slowly close the tent. The cotton robe and shoes have been dried up for a long time, and the emperor is waiting for him to put them on and go to the ground, so he will not be busy sending things to wash his face, comb his hair and rinse his mouth, but wait for the emperor to go to the official room for convenience. After it comes out, it is a big string of washing your face and rinsing your mouth.

After everything was packed, the emperor went to boxing first, stood facing east and spit out, and came back to change another set of clothes. That's when it really got up.

At this time, it was still dark outside, Kangxi took a breath, got up and went to the south study to practice calligraphy. Liang Jiugong bowed and followed behind, the eldest aunt of the Qianqing Palace glanced at him outside, he nodded falsely to indicate that he saw it, and the eldest aunt left.

Kangxi is accustomed to grinding ink and laying paper by himself, he stands still in front of the desk, cuts a piece of paper and lays it upright, chooses an ink ingot, takes an inkstone and adds water, and then slowly grinds the ink. This mill is a quarter of an hour smaller. At this time, unless there is a major military event, no one can disturb the emperor's interest.

Liang Jiugong saw that the emperor was grinding, so he quietly withdrew.

The eldest aunt was peering outside the tea room and beckoned when she saw him. Liang Jiugong trotted over, the two went into the tea room to cover the cotton curtain, and Liang Jiugong asked: "Early in the morning, which grandson is not worried again?" ”

The eldest aunt also felt that this was really not the right time, and said: "Accumulate some virtue, it is Zhou who agrees." I was a little wilting a few days ago, and I don't know what I used last night, and I vomited and leaked. She is also a person, and the emperor has always liked her waiting, but it is not good for the New Year, I think I will temporarily move her to the back of Yuhua Pavilion. ”

Liang Jiugong said: "Then why don't you move quickly?" Who knows what she's getting on? What about people? ”

The eldest aunt said angrily: "You don't want to move me?" Then he lowered his voice, "Twin promised to stop it." ”

Liang Jiugong was also worried.

If he wants to say that he can not take this group of little promisers in his eyes, they are at best snacks that the emperor puts on his lips when he is free, and they are the share of the big girls in the room. No matter how much the emperor favors them, he will not lift them up. Didn't you see everyone drinking medicine?

But these girls are all in the sky, and Liang Jiugong can't afford to embarrass them, and when they meet, the girls are very affectionate, and they are all like his own granddaughters. didn't pay attention to let this group of girls babble on the pillow, maybe they would end up with the emperor.

After the eldest aunt finished speaking, she waited for his instructions, and Liang Jiugong spent half an hour practicing calligraphy on the emperor's end, and said, "Yes, I'll go with my aunt." ”

Through the hall and through the door, the promises all lived in the lower rooms behind the Qianqing Palace. To put it bluntly, they are not much nobler than the palace maids, but they can serve the emperor.

The next room can be much more lively here, and the promises are one person and one room, and they usually don't visit the door. It's all mentioned by Mama, and no one will treat this place as their own yard. Today is rare, Liang Jiugong didn't get close and saw a lot of people standing outside a room watching the excitement.

He had a calm face, the eldest aunt took a step behind him, and the two of them stood three feet outside the house, and with a sweep of their two sharp eyes, the people around him all ran away. Liang Jiugong didn't plan to let go when he saw that people were gone, and said to his aunt: "It's all idle, it's not good to punish them in the New Year, remember it first." ”

The eldest aunt said: "I won't work for you for this little thing, I have it." ”

When the two entered the house, there was no one in the outer room, and they saw a man lying in the inner room who was about to struggle to get up. Liang Jiugong looked left and right, and didn't sit in this room because it was not clean. After a while, one came out with the other unable to stand up.

The one who helped the person was a double promise, and he was wearing the same as the palace maid, that is, he was covered with a pink armor, which was the material for the emperor's reward. She has a goose egg face, and under her willow eyebrows are a pair of eyes that look forward to Gu Shenghui.

Seeing her, Liang Jiugong said with a distressed face: "My good girl, are you doing this?" ”

Shuang promised to smile lightly and did not answer. In the past, when Liang Jiugong saw Zhou agree, he was also mouthless to praise, and he was very affectionate. At this time, Zhou promised to be so sick that his face was out of shape, and he didn't see him glancing at him. Their promises are thin, and they can't survive a day in this palace without a group.

Liang Jiugong doesn't do any superficial work, and good words don't cost money? He looked at Zhou and said, "Good boy, don't kneel." Look at you like this, grandpa is really distressed to see it. ”

Zhou promised to shiver all the time, but she still struggled to kneel, kowtowed a few times quietly, raised her face, two lines of tears hung on her cheeks, and begged: "Grandpa Liang, auntie, please don't move me out." ”

Liang Jiugong is eunuch to avoid one or two, the eldest aunt stepped forward and insisted on helping her up, Zhou promised to be so sick that she was weak, and she had to be pressed on the stool by her, and the eldest aunt said: "Girl, it's not that I'm ruthless." You are waiting for the Long Live Lord, and the front and back rooms are more than 20 zhang, and my aunt doesn't scare you with words, it's really something, your whole family's head is not necessary, and we all have to accompany you to cut off your head. ”

She twisted Zhou's face and asked her to look at Shuang Promise: "Your sister has been with me for two days for you, and you can bear to ask her to die with you?" ”

Shuang promised to be young and bold, and interjected: "Auntie, I'm not afraid of death." ”

The eldest aunt didn't look at her, and continued to persuade Zhou to agree: "Besides, moving out is just to let you recuperate with peace of mind." You live in the heart of the Lord of Long Live, who can pull it out? Wouldn't it be better for us to continue to wait for the Long Live Lord when we are well raised? ”

Zhou promised to be scared in her heart, but she also knew that she wouldn't be here for long, and when the time came, the eldest aunt asked someone to stuff her mouth and carry her out with a quilt, and she couldn't even shout. It's just that people spare their lives, how can they not ask for one when they die?

She persuaded her aunt's kind words and thought that if the long-lived master remembered herself, they would not dare not treat her well.

The eldest aunt added: "If you really don't feel at ease, I'm afraid that the Lord will forget you, so I will call you, a good sister, a few more times before the Lord of the Long Life." Can't you trust me, can't you trust your good sister? ”

This trick led Zhou Promise's heart to the double promise, and sure enough, Zhou Promise immediately looked at the double promise like a life-saving straw.

Shuang promised to notice that it was wrong, but at this time, he had to say: "As long as the Lord Long Live calls me, I will remember to mention you!" ”

The eldest aunt pursed her lips and smiled, and smoothly combed Zhou's hair from sleep.

Zhou promised to tearfully hold the promised hand: "Good sister, my sister's life is all on you, you remember, but you must not forget me!" She tugged at her hands in agreement.

The double promise was forced by her, and the second was hot-blooded, and directly knelt down and made an oath, violating the oath and dying without a place to be buried.

The eldest aunt smiled: "This is reassuring, right?" My aunts and grandmothers, don't make a fuss, hurry up and pack up your things, your sister Zhou moved over a moment earlier, and you can drink medicine and recuperate a moment earlier, right? ”

At this time, Shuang promised to find that he had been trapped in the pit by the eldest aunt. Zhou promised that if there was a bad one in the future, the first person to hate was not her aunt, but herself. How many people around the emperor are squeezing their heads? Although she can be regarded as the emperor's heart, who knows if the emperor is happy to listen to Zhou's gossip? If the emperor turns his head and forgets about Zhou Yi, the more she mentions it, the more trouble she will bring to herself.

But it's come to this, and it's useless to regret it. Shuang promised to help Zhou Promise pack up her baggage, and Zhou promised to stuff all her body jewelry in her arms, many of which were given by the emperor.

Zhou promised to have tears in his eyes, and said with a smile: "My sister remember to wear it when she waits for the Long Live Lord." ”

Seeing Zhou away, Liang Jiugong shook the scene for his eldest aunt, and left when he saw what happened. The eldest aunt asked people to take vinegar and lime to smoke the house that Zhou promised, and all the things in the house were taken out and burned. Seeing that Shuang promised to stand by the door with a resentful face, he smiled and said, "Girl, go back to the house, it's a mess here, and it stains the girl's shoes." ”

Seeing that Shuang promised to drop the curtain and go back to the house, the eldest aunt said in her heart, I can stand you! I'm still with my aunt! What kind of character do you really think you are?

The eldest aunt went back to the house to drink tea, and at this time Xiu agreed to come in quietly, waited for the eldest aunt to use snuff, and stood behind the eldest aunt to pinch her shoulder.

Xiu agreed: "Godmother, Shuang'er is not making trouble?" She is actually not a bad person, but she is a little righteous. It's like the hero in the play, righteous. ”

The eldest aunt made her feel comfortable and said, "Xiu'er, don't learn from Shuang'er's girl." She is righteous at this time, but you wait and see, Zhou Meiling, who moved out, does not accept her affection. It's hard to say what will happen in the future. ”

Xiu promised not knowing that Zhou promised a lawsuit in the house, and said with a smile: "Where can Zhou Mei be so stupid?" Shuang'er is alone, and it is impossible to stop her from moving out. Even if this matter is begged to be in front of the Long Live Lord, Shuang'er can speak for her, and it is already possible. Didn't you see the two dozen or so promises behind this, and they stood up one by one? What else could she be missing? If you want to do this, you still have to hold a grudge against Shuang'er, who will dare to help others in the future? ”

The eldest aunt smiled: "Isn't it? Or our Xiu'er is smart and clever. Good girl, if you work your hands, your godmother's shoulders are sore. ”

In the south study, Kangxi finished writing the big characters, and Liang Jiugong just came back. He put down the pen here, Liang Jiugong came in, took the tea brought up by the little eunuch, first tried the heat and cold on the outside of the tea bowl with his hand, and then sent it to the emperor, and then laughed without waiting for the emperor to ask: "There is a little thing in the back, the eldest aunt came to call the slave to come over and take a look, help the handle." ”

Kangxi drank two sips of tea, swallowed each sip three times, and put down the tea bowl when he quenched his thirst. Although the tea is good, he is never greedy.

After practicing calligraphy, Kangxi picked out the book and read it in his hand, and instructed Liang Jiugong: "If the king of Zhijun arrives, bring it in to accompany me for breakfast." ”

Liang Jiugong chirped, and hurriedly retreated and called his apprentice: "Hurry up, see if the king of Zhijun has arrived at the palace gate?" Tell him to hurry up when he arrives! Long live the Lord to have breakfast with him! ”

The emperor said that he wanted to dine with whom, so he couldn't let the emperor's favor be in vain. When Liang Jiugong's little apprentice got this, he called the Venerable Master and rushed to the palace gate as if he were stepping on hot wheels.

As soon as I arrived at the palace gate, I saw the arrival of the king of Zhijun and the four beylers one after the other.

Liang Jiugong's apprentice can also be regarded as a corner of the Qianqing Palace, and the King of Zhijun and the fourth master all recognize it. He stood in the palace gate and beckoned to the king of Zhijun, who said hello to the fourth master, dismounted and walked over quickly, and asked, "But what does the emperor command?" ”

The little eunuch ran in the winter with white smoke on his head, and he could still speak clearly like a cow panting, and said: "Long live the Lord hasn't had breakfast yet, I want you to come and use it with you." Lord Jun, let's hurry up. ”

King Zhijun nodded, and he didn't care about explaining to his Fujin children, so he followed the little eunuch and left.

After he left, Zhiwang Fujin poked his head out of the mule cart and looked at the back of Zhijun Wang in confusion. The fourth master had no choice but to come over and take care of it.

As soon as he approached, Zhiwang Fujin lowered the curtain, and his uncle and sister-in-law still had to avoid it before.

The fourth master bowed down through the curtain and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I think the eldest brother was called by the emperor, so there should be nothing wrong." ”

Zhiwang Fujin thinks of Da Gege, where can he rest assured? Isn't the Emperor of the Heart Dao going to get married today? I had to say to the fourth master: "Thank you fourth brother, I'm okay here." ”

The fourth master still couldn't just flash like this, turned to Fujin and said a few words, and said, "You are tired, send your sister-in-law to Changchun Palace first." The child was handed over to Li to take in. ”

When Fu Jin heard this, he got out of the car and went to the side of Zhiwang Fu Jin.

Honghui was in the car behind him, and he had a car alone, which was also the fourth master's attempt to raise his identity for him. He saw that Fu Jin got out of the car by himself, and was lifting the curtain to watch, when the fourth master came over and asked him to get out of the car.

The fourth master said: "Your mother will go in with your aunt first, and you will follow the side Fujin for a while." I want to help Fang Fujin take care of his younger siblings, you know? ”

Honghui bowed down and responded, "My son knows." ”

The fourth master took him to Li Wei's car again, and the jade bottle saw that she had already told Li Wei that after she heard what the fourth master said, she said: "I know, don't worry." Then he said to Honghui, "The eldest brother leads the younger brothers, holding hands and not falling." ”

She asked Hongyu to go down first, and then asked the nurse to put down the third elder brother as well. The brothers are lined up, from high to low, one by one.

Honghui has been taught by the fourth master to be like an adult, and Zhengse said: "Please rest assured, Honghui will take care of his younger brothers." ”

Li Wei also said with a straight face: "Then I will leave it all to the eldest brother." ”

I really don't care about it.

After Da Gege and Sangege got out of the car, she first checked whether Sangege's clothes were dressed tightly or not, and then looked at Da Gege, and after reading them all, she led this group of small Chong Siye to say goodbye.

The two groups of people did not walk the same road, and they were about to go their separate ways at the palace gate.

The fourth master instructed her: "You can walk slower on the road, let's go out early, it's not dawn yet." In some places, people don't clean carefully, and it freezes, so don't slide when you help people walk. ”

Li Wei responded, and couldn't help whispering: "Master also drink less at the banquet." ”

The fourth master smiled and nodded slightly.

The road to Yonghe Palace is not difficult. This year, the snow fell heavily, and in order to let the masters enjoy the snow, most of the land was left, and only a few roads were swept out. The snow glows silver in the moonlight, and the stars are dotted, and you can see the road without a lantern.

Honghui has been in the palace for a long time, and has become a little serious, walking on the road only looking ahead, concentrating on walking. However, Hongyu and the third elder brother who were following him had never seen such a large square courtyard, and they looked dishonest every time they came back. Seeing this, the little eunuch who led the way in front deliberately slowed down, and let these little masters appreciate it for a while.

Honghui wanted to remind the two younger brothers, but he was afraid that Fang Fujin would be angry, and peeked at Li Wei who didn't care about the two younger brothers' misconduct, but instead smiled and thought about it, just cleared his throat when the two of them wanted to step on the snow, and looked at them to stop it. He took the third elder brother's hand directly behind him and said, "Brother is leading you away, come here." ”

Li Wei wanted to laugh, Honghui was smart, so that he could not only control the third elder brother, but also not disgust people. It seems that the palace is a foster.

When she arrived at Yonghe Palace, Li Wei said to Mama: "We Fujin will arrive later, please report it slowly, and when our Fujin comes, we will go together to say goodbye to Niangniang." ”

Mama bowed down and responded, "In that case, Fang Fujin will sit here for a while." ”

After going out, Mama went to the main hall of Yonghe Palace. Concubine De has been up for an hour, and Concubine Cheng is also here, and the two are talking about the removal of people from the Qianqing Palace.

Cheng Concubine said: "I heard that I have been sick for a few days, and I have been enduring it." Probably because I ate cold rice these days, it didn't come out all of a sudden. ”

Concubine De recited the Buddha and sighed: "I just hope that God will bless her, don't take her life." ”

Concubine Cheng also sighed, the life of a woman in the palace is really cheaper than grass. The people waiting in the Qianqing Palace are even more expensive than the gold elsewhere, but so what?

After Mama came in, she was standing on the side, Concubine De and Concubine Cheng stopped, and Concubine De asked her, "Who is here?" ”

Mama said: "It's Li Fangfujin of the Four Baylor Mansions, and Elder Brother Honghui, Elder Brother Hongyu, Third Elder Brother and the three Gege. ”

Although Concubine De was puzzled about how it was a side blessing, she didn't care much and asked, "Why don't you come in?" ”

Mama smiled: "Li Fangfujin said that Sifujin will be one step late, and he will come in and say hello to you when Sifujin arrives." ”

Concubine De nodded and didn't ask any more.

But Cheng Concubine said: "This Li Fangfujin is a sensible person." ”

Concubine De smiled faintly and said, "If you have given birth to too much, you should naturally be sensible." ”

Although Concubine Cheng only gave birth to one, she was not jealous of having many children, not to mention Concubine De's words, she understood. No matter how ignorant a woman is, she has to learn to think about her children when she has more children. Even if she was originally frivolous, she didn't dare to be frivolous for the sake of the child at this time.

The two turned their heads and talked about something else, and a moment later, Mama came to report again, and Sifujin came to ask for peace with the side Fujin and the child.

Concubine De called in, and after a while, Sifujin led a group of people in.

Sifu Jin came in and confessed first, and Concubine De smiled: "What is this?" You came early, and it's worth your accusation? Sit down quickly and warm up with a bowl of heat. ”

Sifujin sat down and said that she went to send Wang Fujin off. Hearing that the king of Zhijun was called away by the eunuchs of the Qianqing Palace at the palace gate, Concubine De and Concubine Cheng showed a little surprise.

In the Qianqing Palace, Kangxi had a very homely breakfast with the King of Zhijun in the Dongnuan Pavilion, and most of the things on the table were what the King of Zhijun loved to eat when he was in the palace.

When he was a child, King Zhijun preferred to eat meat, but the children in the palace were afraid of hurting the spleen and stomach, and the grandmothers controlled the children's mouths, and the meat was mostly stewed into soup or soup for them to eat. The king of Zhijun is not addicted, Kangxi also loves him, he always picks Kangxi when he calls for food, and grinds the meat on Kangxi's table to eat.

Kangxi was afraid that the elder brother who had been so hard to feed would be sick again, and he really couldn't stop pestering him, so he always counted the pieces to feed him, and only ate three pieces of meat at a meal.

King Zhijun felt that three pieces were not enough, so he coquettishly said to Kangxi: "Huang Ama, let them cut the meat into bigger pieces." ”

Kangxi was so amused by him that he couldn't laugh, and from then on, the meat in the imperial dining room of the Qianqing Palace was cut into pieces of one inch and five minutes, which was one-third larger than elsewhere.

There was an extra bowl of meat like this on the breakfast table today.

When King Zhijun saw a bowl of this on Kangxi's dining table, more than thirty people were there, he salivated and coquettishly said to Kangxi: "Huang Ama, reward your son with a few pieces of meat." ”

Kangxi looked at him with warm eyes, and when he saw him like this, he smiled and said, "How old are you kid?" While bringing the bowl of meat to the table of the king of Zhijun with his own hands.

The king of Zhijun smiled, as if he had never eaten meat in his life, he stuffed a few pieces into his mouth, looked up and saw Kangxi looking at him lovingly, and quickly lowered his head, full of sorrow and almost welling up in his eyes.

Kangxi knew that he was not really as greedy as he was when he was a child, but his son was also telling him that he did not resent him, the emperor.

When Kangxi thought of this, his heart was even softer, and he brought him a bowl of soup on his dining table, and instructed: "Don't swallow the meat, dry, drink the soup smoothly." ”

King Zhijun hurriedly took a few mouthfuls of soup, his eyes were red as if he was choking, and said with a smile: "My son is embarrassed in front of Huang Ama. ”

Kangxi shook his head and said unconcernedly: "I have even seen you when you were a child." ”

In the East Warm Pavilion, the father and son have a deep relationship.

In Yuqing Palace, the prince sat at the table and asked the eunuch beside him: "King Zhijun hasn't come out yet?" ”

The eunuch said, "Yes." He looked at the bell placed in the room and said, "Your Highness, we should also pass, right?" ”

The prince chuckled, shook his head, and said, "Wait a little longer." ”

How could he be so blind? Now in the past, won't you interrupt the father and son of the emperor and the king of Zhijun?

The eunuch didn't know what the prince was thinking, but he saw the prince drinking tea with a calm face, and he was dying staring at the hands of the clock. This is all at this point, what should I do if I miss the New Year's feast?

In the Wuying Palace, almost all the people came.

The brothers gathered together, and the third master took off his hat and turned it in his hand, and said meaninglessly: "Today is really interesting." The boss was not there, and the prince did not come. ”

The fourth master's eyes were empty, and he said, "I didn't hear anything", the fifth master lowered his head and fiddled with the waist knife, and the seventh master also learned from the fourth master's empty eyes, but he learned more like a trance. Seeing that no one answered, the third master patted the seventh master and said, "Old Seven, what do you want?" ”

The seventh master had no choice but to be caught by him, so he had to say: "My brother thinks that the little ones in the family don't know if they have caused trouble to the mother." ”

The fourth master glanced at him quickly, Cheng Concubine was in Yonghe Palace, and Qifujin's family was naturally also in Yonghe Palace. He now has the meaning of a frightened bird, and he has to go around in his heart when he listens to the words of the seventh master.

The third master glanced at the seventh master, cut his voice, and wanted to turn his head to talk to the fourth master, but when he saw that the eyes of the fourth brother were heavy, he immediately turned his head to find the fifth master.

"Old Five," said the third master, "you are about to cut off the edge of your knife." As soon as the words fell, a gold bead inlaid on the fifth master's waist knife really made him pick it off.

A circle of brothers were dumbfounded.

The third master's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe that his mouth was so powerful. The fifth master held the gold bead and couldn't believe that his hand was so cheap!

The fourth master was the first to react and said, "Hurry up and ask your family to go back and get a handful!" "Bring a broken knife to the New Year's banquet during the New Year?

The third master had suffered a loss from shaving his head, and stomped his feet and said, "What did you say you were doing with it?" ”

The fifth master was stupid, but the seventh master was enlightened, and said, "It's too late to go home?" Let's see if we can go to the palace and borrow one! ”

The fifth master's mother is Concubine Yi, which is much closer than returning home.

As soon as the fifth master slapped his head, he turned his head and called the personal eunuch to go to Yifei's Yikun Palace. At this time, the ninth master watched from the side for a long time, and when he saw his brother panicking, he came over and asked, "Fifth brother, what are you panicking about?" ”

After seeing the gold beads that were cut off, the ninth master looked at his fifth brother, couldn't believe that he would be so stupid, and scolded: "You! You! You! He was so angry that he couldn't speak, seeing that it was already late, the ninth master quickly untied the waist knife on his waist and stuffed it into the fifth master's hand, snatching the fifth master's and tying it around his waist.

The fifth master hurriedly grabbed him: "Lao Jiu! Give it to me! ”

The ninth master scolded: "You don't want to tie it up quickly!" Seeing that the fifth master was so anxious that he vowed to snatch the knife back, he comforted him and said, "It's okay, I'm kneeling far away, and the emperor may not be able to see it." Just wait for the mother's side to bring it and then replace it. As he spoke, he tucked his waist knife in, and pulled his robe over to cover it a little.

The fifth master refused: "Don't come nonsense!" Give it to me! His face turned white with fright, and his eyebrows stood up like a brother.

The Ninth Master ignored him at all, and ran back to the back.

The fifth master still has to chase after him, but he was pulled by the fourth master, the emperor's eunuch in front of him has come, and the emperor has arrived, and at this time, the slightest movement in the queue may be seen by the emperor, and then the emperor asks, and this matter will happen.

The fifth master was grabbed by him and wanted to break away, he really struggled, and the fourth master couldn't pull him. The two were about to tear up, when the eunuch shouted, "Kneel!" ”

Hulala, everyone knelt down in unison.

Well, it's too late. After the fifth master knelt down, he was still so anxious that he broke out in a cold sweat, and kept sweeping the ninth master behind him from the tail of his eyes.

The ninth master shrank behind the eighth master, almost shrinking himself by half.

Just now, the ninth master used to be weishenme and the eighth master didn't know, but he came back and changed his waist knife and still saw it. At this time, it was too late to do anything, so the eighth master could only deliberately kneel bigger with his hands and feet at first glance, so as to cover the ninth master behind him.

Above, the emperor has finally arrived.

The crown prince and the king of Zhijun arrived one step earlier and were already in the ranks.

Kangxi and King Zhijun had a breakfast with infinite warmth, and their mood was as bright as the sun at □ o'clock in the morning. With a smile on his face, he came up with a red light, and at a glance, Lao Jiu who swept under him knelt down and shrunk his feet.

After calling up, Kangxi didn't say anything else, but asked Jiu Ye with a smile: "Lao Jiu, what are you doing kneeling so far?" Come closer. ”

The fifth master's face changed instantly, and he was about to step forward to ask for guilt when he took a breath. The ninth master saw at a glance that he was one step ahead of the ranks, and stepped on his feet when he passed by the fifth master.

After warning the fifth master, the ninth master had already changed his smiling face when he stepped forward, and said coquettishly: "Say hello to Huang Ama." As he spoke, he directly took out the waist knife, and said worriedly: "It's all because my son is not good, I can't get up in the morning, so I just took a knife and hung it up. When he entered the palace, he found that it was too late, and begged the emperor Ama to forgive his son for the crime of disrespect. ”

Kangxi smiled: "What is this? He took the waist knife he was holding and looked at it, handed it to Liang Jiugong casually, and said, "Go and give your ninth master a new one." ”

Liang Jiugong took the order and left, and after a while, he took a tray and brought a new waist knife that had just entered Mongolia before the New Year, which was a few mountains stronger than the fifth master's.

The ninth master's eyes lit up as soon as he saw it, and his heart was really good for being a good person!

Kangxi saw that his eyes lit up and said with a smile: "I know that you kid deliberately came to covet your Amma's things!" Grab it and get out! ”

The ninth master thanked him for his kindness, tied his waist knife and returned to the line majestically, and only after standing still did he secretly breathe a sigh of relief, wiped his sweat and said secretly: Today's pass is really easy.

The fifth master was in front of him, and he didn't relax until this time.

The little eunuch who went to the palace of Yifei to ask for a knife also came back at this time, and when he saw this scene from afar, he waited for a while, and only when he began to enter the table did he take advantage of the chaos to come over, and exposed the knife hidden in his arms to the fifth master, and asked: "Master, this knife ......"

The fifth master waved his hand weakly and said, "Give it back to the mother." "It's useless now, who can hang two waist knives?

The little eunuch replied with a bitter face: "Yes......" I walked him early in the morning.
