Yinxiang didn't say anything after hearing Yongzheng ask about Nian Qianyao, so he guessed that he was probably going to talk to him again. I went to the Internal Affairs Office to explain a few things, and it was not too early to see that it was dark, so I simply rested in the room.

Sure enough, it didn't take long to see Su Peisheng come over with a bitter face.

"What's wrong? It's rare to see you with a bitter face. He grew up with Yongzheng since he was a child, and he is also very familiar with Su Peisheng, knowing that this slave is not to be regarded as Tianle, he is actually very discerning, and he is also quite valued by Yongzheng.

Su Peisheng personally gave him the lamp, and slapped his mouth with one hand: "Your Highness, don't mention it, blame the slave for talking too much, and the slave will have to be punished for a while." ”

Yinxiang didn't have time to inquire about this, he was so busy that he didn't click on the ground, so he asked casually, and when he saw Yongzheng, he had already forgotten about it: "The emperor just asked Nian Qianyao, is the situation in the northwest changing?" ”

These days, Yongzheng basically told him about the thirteen years of his reign in his previous life, and he also knew that Nian Qianyao was later given death for his pride, but at the moment, Nian Qianyao's loyalty should be undoubted.

Yongzheng handed him the secret fold: "The eight hundred miles sent from the northwest are urgent, Huang Ama has died, and the Junggar department is already ready to move." ”

Originally, the Dzungar Ministry was completely pacified in the 59th year of Kangxi, but now in the 51st year of Kangxi, he has already ascended the throne.

The situation is changing rapidly, and history can only be used as a reference.

Yinxiang was keenly aware of his hesitation: "If the fourth brother is not worried about Nian Qianyao leading the army, then it is better to let the ministers go." ”

"You can't. You have to help me sit in the capital, and besides, the soldiers and horses have not moved the grain and grass first, and the mess of the household department cannot be separated from you. ”

Yongzheng knew that he had done some foolish things in the military in the military of a layman commanding an insider, not "strategizing and winning thousands of miles away", but Yinxiang had a bit of military talent, and this time he was ready to hand over all military affairs to him for coordination.

- Main quest: Reduce harem expenses. It is proposed to reduce the cost of the harem to 50% and promote the nobles. Limited to 30 days.

- Mission reward: 300 points, light repeating musket blueprint.

The sudden mission announcement made Yongzheng pause, and he was stunned for a moment before continuing: "The new mission reward is a repeating musket blueprint." ”

Yinxiang thought that he was worried about military expenses and military rations, and was calculating how long the treasury money could last, but he was interrupted by this sentence, and suddenly he was full of expectations: "Is it a serious repeating musket?" It won't be like the kind of showmanship that Dai Zi made earlier, right? ”

"Since it should be given as a reward, it should be a little outstanding," Yongzheng pondered for a moment: "Don't forget it, it's difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, how many times do you count it, there is so much money and food." I didn't want to start the matter of collecting the arrears of the treasury so early, but now that the situation waits for no one, I am afraid that I can't figure it out slowly. ”

Yinxiang nodded: "Okay." The minister took the lead and went to recover it. ”

"Why do you have three heads and six arms? What dirty work are rushed? Yongzheng choked him: "Let the old eight and nine take those people from your household department." Also, don't forget to go to Yuhua Pavilion with me for dinner tomorrow. ”

Although Ji Xia's food is not bad, he really doesn't like sweet and greasy food so much.

It's sweet and sour fish again, and it's tomato brisket, which doesn't suit his appetite.

Yinxiang refused: "The minister doesn't have to go, wait for Nian Xiyao to go to the capital, make a general appearance, and then go to consult Xia Changzai." ”

"Su Peisheng, this minion, knocked on the door of Yuhua Pavilion just now to remind me that the filial piety period has not passed." Yongzheng glanced at him: "You don't go, we can't say a few words behind closed doors when we turn back, and he comes to remind me again?" ”

Yinxiang said "ha", a sip of tea almost squirted out, no wonder Su Peisheng had a bitter face, it seems that he has been rectified by his fourth brother.

He coughed before holding back his laughter: "Since this is the case, then the minister will be cheeky and go to eat again?" Anyway, the ministers have eaten two meals with them, and it's not bad this time. ”

******

The emperor's harem is not abundant, in addition to the queen, there are two concubines and two concubines, and these four relatively high-ranking people each occupy a main hall of the six palaces in the east and west.

The remaining two nobles agreed, and each lived with a concubine. For example, Guo Mianmian lived in Yanxi Palace with his concubine Niu Hulu.

Guo Mianmian doesn't like to see people, and most of the time in Yanxi Palace is quiet. But she is the cousin of Princess Yi, and this status alone is enough for her to receive a lot of preferential treatment.

Therefore, Niu Hulu treats her well every day, and she has received any rewards from the queen mother and queen, whether it is for show off or to show favor, she loves to share a little.

Unexpectedly, she looked at Chi Xia who was silent, and seeing that Chi Xia was favored, she actually came together with Chi Xia. Every day, as soon as I finish asking for peace, I run to Yuhua Pavilion, and I almost always return after dinner.

Early this morning, I met Guo Mianmian walking out with a small flower pot in the courtyard, and I couldn't help it for a while, and said, "Heh": "Guo Guiren comes and goes in a hurry every day, and he regards our Yanxi Palace as an inn." ”

"Say hello to the concubine Niangniang," Guo Mianmian took a step back, came back to his senses and quickly hugged the small flower pot in his hand: "Niangniang Jin'an." ”

Niu Hulu felt that he had been deceived by her timid and pitiful appearance in the past, and he was angry: "It's not as comfortable as Guo Guiren, you don't even have to get meals every day, so you can live in Yuhua Pavilion." ”

Guo Mianmian frowned, she was just timid, not stupid.

She married into her stepfather's family with her mother, and she was used to hearing all kinds of gossip at home since she was a child, so she naturally heard Niu Hulu mocking her.

But she was accustomed to not arguing with others, so she said "yes" and stood up after the salute was done in a proper manner.

Niu Hulu slapped the cotton, and he couldn't do anything with her: "It's just relying on her sister's momentum, who doesn't know what happened to her in the early years!" ”

Chi Xia completed the long-standing and difficult "Praise Cooking" side quest here in Guo Mianmian, although Guo Mianmian accidentally touched Yinxiang's hand when she was picking up vegetables during the banquet, and the screaming almost scared her out of heart disease, but she finally completed the task and got points.

And with her, Chi Xia doesn't have to dig through the soil by himself there, and I wish Guo Mianmian would come every day.

Just after asking for peace today, the queen specially left Nian's, Guo Guiren and her, saying that the emperor would invite General Nian's wife to a banquet in the Old Summer Palace, and Prince Yi and the princess would also accompany him.

Chi Xia has never experienced this kind of occasion, and wants to ask Guo Mianmian what the rules for this "banquet" are.

Guo Mianmian's attention was on the few small green seedlings that had just emerged in the flower pot, and said casually: "Banquet General Nian and his wife, the protagonist is Concubine Nian, we are nothing more than accompaniment." ”

Chi Xiaxin said that you are quite transparent, and she thinks so herself.

And the queen herself didn't go, the whole audience had the highest position of the concubine, and even Concubine Qi, Geng's, and Niu Hulu's who were about the same rank as her didn't go, making it clear that she wanted to raise the concubine and give the Nian family face.

Chi Xia consciously picked out ordinary clothes and ordinary jewelry.

Who knew that when Yuhua Pavilion was about to turn off the lights and rest, Su Peisheng hurried over and presented a set of clothes and jewelry with his own hands.

The clothes are very beautiful, with a very light goose yellow as the base, red silk threads and gold threads twisted together to embroider red plums, and the cobblestone paths under the red plums are adorned with countless large and small round pearls. Under the candle flame, the grains are round and lovely, faint and condensed.

Where the red plum blossoms are in full bloom, there are also perched butterflies, and the embroidery is amazing, as if they are about to flutter their wings in the next moment. It's full of life and tension.

The matching head and face jewelry is also pearls and rubies, and there is a pastel-colored step with eastern pearls.

This aesthetic is really beautiful. Even she, who is used to seeing celebrity dresses, feels that this outfit is extremely outstanding.

Listen to the strings and know the elegant meaning.

It seems that His Majesty the Emperor has changed his mind and wants her to be in the limelight.
