Under the leadership of Zhu Youzhen, he went to the East Warm Pavilion of the main hall of Chenghua Palace where Zhao and Shao lived in it, because Shao was already five months pregnant and had already shown her pregnancy, and the aunts said a few words from time to time in the palace, but Zhao, who had no heirs and no pregnancy, looked depressed on the side.

"Meet your aunts from school." Ye Xiang said as he walked to see his parents' four salutes, and after getting up, he asked, "Aunt Shao, is it inconvenient to live here?" ”

"Your Majesty, Sister Zhao and I live here very well." Soon after the Shao family entered the palace, as Zhu Changluo's chosen attendant, he witnessed his caution when he was the prince and the glory after ascending to the pole, and now he has been beaten back to his original form, and it is certain that there is a gap in his heart, seeing Ye Xiang asking, she doesn't want to say anything, she just wants the child to come to the world safely, so that she can have a spiritual sustenance.

Ye Xiang also knew that although the aunts were only twenty or thirty years old, they were widowed at the age of their prime, unlike ordinary people who could remarry, and they felt a little unbearable, but their fate was like this, they couldn't change anything, what they could do was to treat them well and send them to the end of their lives. He sorted out his thoughts and said sincerely, "Well, if your aunts have any needs, send someone to the Heart Cultivation Palace, and it is reasonable for the school to accept it." Then he instructed Wang Chengen, "Go back and tell Lu Zhangyin, first follow the daily needs of your aunts, and supply them according to the rules of the first queen and concubine." ”

"Yes, the slave has written it down."

"School ...... The emperor ......" Xi Li, who was sitting on the wooden kang, hurriedly changed his words, his eyes touched Dong Li next to him, and said carefully, "My sister and I will sum it up, and see that the four grades of the brothers and sisters are not young, do you think you are looking for a knowledgeable master among the ministers and letting them go to school?" ”

"Auntie just doesn't mention it, the school will also consider it, and it's time for the fifth brother to go to school, so I can't delay it like me." Ye Xiang looked at Zhu Youzhen beside him, patted him lightly on the back, and said with a smile, "Otherwise, when the fifth brother is a little older in the future, it will make people laugh." ”

"The emperor really agreed?" Xi Li was a little surprised, and his eyes lit up.

"What's the ...... Does Aunt Fei already have a suitable candidate? Ye Xiang saw her staring at herself with burning eyes, and guessed.

"There is one, that is, Qian Qianyi, the thirty-eighth year of Wanli, who is now the editor of the Hanlin Academy."

Qian Qianyi ranked third in the palace examination in 1610, which shows that he must have been erudite, but the impression of ordinary people in later generations was not his splendid articles, but the fact that he later fell to the Qing Dynasty and Naliu as a concubine.

Ye Xiang frowned, he didn't have a good impression of this name, not to mention the subsection of the old cow eating tender grass, just the word Erchen was enough to nail him to the pillar of shame in history. If you let a person who only has knowledge but has a great deal of losses be the mentor of several younger siblings, I really dare not imagine what he will teach, and I am sorry for those heroes who abide by the right path and fight to the death against the enemy. What's more, he is the Donglin Party, the so-called Qingliu, and he will sooner or later do something to Donglin's damage to the public and private, since he has not yet surfaced, he will suppress it first, and it is best to let him suffocate in the water.

Ye Xiang stared at Xi Li's eyes, remembered Xu Guangqi's resume, and said affirmatively, "Auntie, I am also confused about the courtiers nowadays, so let's wait." At the beginning of spring next year, we must find a good master among the courtiers who is a model for the world. When I go back, I'll ask someone to make a booklet first, and let the gentleman of the inner study hall enlighten the five brothers before the year. ”

Xi Li saw that Ye Xiang had made up his mind, so he had to nod and acquiesce. The teaching of the Inner Study Hall in the Imperial City is also edited by the Hanlin Academy, and Yude Zhang Nai and Xu Guangqi have both taught in the Inner Study Hall, so there is nothing wrong with it.

※※※※

Ye Xiang said some homely words before saying goodbye to the aunts and came out, and met Ke Yinyue wearing a filial piety bun in the laneway, she was wearing a white plain jacket on her upper body, and a horse-faced pleated skirt on her lower body, with a happy face with Ren Rongrong that Ye Xiang had just seen, it seemed that they had been waiting here for a long time.

"Brother, I heard Rong Rong, this kid said that you are here, no, Baba will come and see."

The Hakka name is Yinyue, because Zhu Youxiao often called her as a guest Baba when she was a child, so others thought that she had another name Baba, but in fact, Baba is a homonym for 'Dad'.

Ye Xiang put on a bright smile, "Kebaba, I'm about to go to you, let's talk as we go." ”

Then Ye Xiang took Ke Yinyue, Ren Rongrong, and Wang Chengen to the back of Ciqing Palace and walked through the hall, saying some greetings such as good weather on the way.

Ke Yinyue lives in Langfang, east of Ciqing Palace, which is the same as Qianqing Palace, and the attendants all have independent residences in Langfang. Because of the difference in regulations, there are five east and west houses in the Qianqing Palace, and there are only three of them here, all of which are for the palace maids with deacons, which are used to correct the name and clarify the rank and majesty. Since Zhu Youxiao was confirmed to be the ninth prince in early September in mid-August, Ke Yinyue moved to live in the east of Ciqing Palace, while taking care of the prince's living nearby.

The east one is close to the east warm pavilion of the main hall of Ciqing Palace, the door faces west, and is divided into three rooms on the left, middle and right, the main hall in the middle, the bedrooms on both sides, and the door curtain made of blue floral cloth is blocked. In the middle of the main hall is an arhat bed, and on the small coffee table in the middle of the bed there are still unfinished cyan robes and other needlework.

Ye Xiang sat on the left side of the Arhat bed in the main hall, and after looking at the furnishings, he pointed to Ren Rongrong and said to Ke Yinyue, "According to this just now...... Ren Rongrong, right, she said that Baba is not used to living here, is there any problem? I'm in charge of you. ”

"Brother, don't listen to her nonsense, I'll introduce you." Ke Yinyue pulled Ren Rongrong in front of Ye Xiang, "This is Rong Rong, the righteous daughter of Jinzhong." Brother is now the emperor, how can there be no intimate people around to take care of him, I am afraid that the current attendants do not understand my brother's preferences, and they don't have to worry about doing things, so they brought her into the palace, and they are preparing to train and send it to the emperor. ”

Ye Xiang only then carefully looked at Ren Rongrong, who was dressed like Ke Yinyue, the only difference was that she combed her hair into a double bun, and the bangs on her forehead were uneven, making the willow eyebrows on her flickering eyes flicker, and when she pursed her lips, two small dimples appeared and looked very naughty.

"Slave Ren Rongrong has seen the Long Live Lord." Ren Rongrong said with a shy face, and saw it again.

Ye Xiang nodded, he currently knew that there was a Wu Jinzhong in the master of ceremonies, and Li Jinzhong in front of the original Xi Li, and asked, "That Jinzhong?" ”

"Da Wei, Wei Jinzhong, is the one who cooked for the talented lady in Chenghua Palace before."

Oh, Ye Xiang suddenly realized that she was Wei Zhongxian's righteous daughter, so he subconsciously refused, "Kebaba, I have someone to serve you in the Heart Cultivation Palace, so I don't need it." ”

"Brother, where do those people know how to serve...... Otherwise, I asked the Wei Dynasty, and he said that the second west of the Qianqing Palace is still empty, or let Baba move over, where is only a wall away from the Yangxin Palace, so as to take care of his brother's daily life. ”

Ye Xiang couldn't see her thoughts, he didn't want history to repeat itself, "Kebaba, you also said last time that I grew up,......。 ”

Ye Xiang wanted to say that he would never need a nurse anymore, but when he wanted to speak, he felt ungrateful. Seeing that she asked Ren Rongrong to serve the pineapple vegetables that Zhu Youxiao liked, and continued to persuade her, she waved her hand and stopped, "Since Kebaba said this, I will explain it today." ”

Seeing Ye Xiang's serious face, Ke Yinyue had a bad premonition, "Brother, is there someone chewing the root of their tongue in their ears?" ”

Ye Xiang shook his head, thinking that her solution was not good, and said, "No one said it, it was me who meant." You see, I think so, if I can protect you in nature, but no one knows what will happen tomorrow, and the imperial examination is a precedent. I've been thinking about how to repay Baba for her nurturing kindness these days, and as soon as Baba said it just now, I felt that I should let you out of the palace and stay away from this place of right and wrong. ”

"Brother...... You'll be fine. ”

"Kebaba, no one wants to have trouble. Doesn't Baba have a son outside the palace? When I am busy in the past few days, I will seal him as an errand for a thousand households in brocade clothes, so that you can also have a place outside the palace, and you don't have to worry about no one taking care of you. Ye Xiang saw that Ke Yinyue's face was cold, obviously dissatisfied, and continued, "The most important thing is that I am confined to this square inch of land, and I can't go out easily, and now that the treasury and internal funds are short of silver, I want to do some business to supplement all kinds of internal and external expenses, and I want you to help me take care of it outside the palace." ”

Children and grandchildren because of the merits of their ancestors and fathers are rewarded and called Enyin, which is a variant of the hereditary system, and the forms of Enyin in the Ming Dynasty are also diverse, such as entering the country Zijian, Shang Baosi, Zhongshu Sheren, Jinyiwei and so on.

The Ming Dynasty's brocade guards had an important feature - the impermanence of grace and shadow. Compared with other departments, there is no limit to the number of officials in the Jinyi Guard, and the emperors of previous dynasties also used the position of the Jinyi Guard to reward meritorious officials. This also makes Jinyiwei a high incidence of redundancy, at the peak, there are more than 20 people in a thousand households, except for the management of thousands of households, everyone else only receives money and does not do anything.

For Ye Xiang, it is definitely not possible to put the people who have been rewarded by Enyin among the civil officials, and those who have climbed up by scientific research will definitely oppose it, and there is no position to place. He had to follow the original rules and put Hou Guoxing in the Jinyi Guard, anyway, there was no more than him, and no less than him.

"Brother, are you short of silver now? All the rewards Baba has received over the years, I thought I would leave it for Guoxing to marry his daughter-in-law, if you want to use it in a hurry, don't drive Baba away, okay? ”

"Ke Baba......" Ye Xiang felt a sour nose, tears rolling in her eyes, her little silver may be enough for her own retirement, but how can such a big country be solved with a little money? Then he forced a smile and said, "I understand your intentions, it's just ...... In this case, I will send you another house, and you will be allowed to enter the palace at any time, and you will go out of the palace to live and help me take care of my business. ”

"Brother, Baba grew up watching you, do you still have any difficulties? Is it the courtiers who bullied you when you were young, Baba is going to tear their mouths. And after all these years, you know, Baba is not a person who covets wealth and wealth, but he is really reluctant to leave you......" As she spoke, Ke Yinyue's tears fell, and she was not fake.

The eye is the window of the soul, and from the eyes of Ke Yinyue, Ye Xiang seems to feel the true expression of the deep affection of licking the calf, which may be the reason why Zhu Youxiao was reluctant to leave her. As for some people saying that she had an affair with Zhu Youxiao, this is purely false. Imagine if a normal man would allow his woman to eat against a eunuch? Definitely not, so the love between Zhu Youxiao and Ke Yinyue is just a nurse and an adopted son. As for the later Kewei Rebellion, this is what it says, at least for the time being, Ke Yinyue has no mind in this regard.

The reason why Ye Xiang took the initiative to send Yin Yue out of the palace was because she didn't want to be exposed, but she grew up watching Principal Zhu You, and she knew all about Zhu Youxiao's subtle habits. He really needs a spokesperson outside the palace, not to mention this person's ability, first of all, he must be loyal, and he must be able to control it, and Ke Yinyue is the best candidate at present.

Ye Xiang saw that she might be even more uncomfortable if she continued to talk, so he wanted her to calm down, "Kebaba, you think about it first, and I'll see you another day." ”

Before leaving, Ye Xiang helped Ke Yinyue to the main seat in the main hall, bowed four times according to the etiquette of paying homage to his parents, and then resolutely left Ciqing Palace regardless of the tearful Ke Yinyue and Ren Rongrong with a lost face.
