The day is getting warmer, and the hot summer is approaching. The imperial examination selected the virtuous ministers, Kangxi Dayue, rewarded the eighth master heavily, and gave an edict in front of the courtiers, saying: "I have been patrolling outside the fortress since June, and all things are still handled by the old eight Yinxi." The eighth master became more and more proud, and took advantage of his birthday to celebrate in the Baylor Mansion. Fourteen took the invitation in the morning and told me: "Starling is not as good as others, I respect it the most, you should prepare well for this birthday gift." "People don't like me, and they tell me to do things without being at ease.

I secretly pondered it, the eighth grandmother and concubine are good concubines, Xin Zheku was born, but she can stand in the harem for many years, and it makes Kangxi value his son so much, there must be something powerful that outsiders don't know. I also thought, Concubine De is in charge of the harem, and the relationship with Concubine Liang is shallow, if my etiquette is heavy, will Concubine De dislike me for being extravagant? If you take it lightly, will you offend the good concubine?

After thinking about it, I still couldn't make up my mind, but Minqiu reminded: "Master, it's better to ask Master De." ”

Concubine De is my serious mother-in-law, I have been a bride for less than a year, and if I ask her, no one can say that I am wrong. When I said hello at night, I didn't bother to beat around the bush and asked bluntly. Concubine De seemed to be extremely useful, and said with a smile: "It's still you, unlike the fourth daughter-in-law, who thinks out of thin air and doesn't know the overall situation." After a pause, he said: "Concubine Liang was promoted last year, which shows that the emperor still has some thoughts on her." Besides, the eighth child is also a competitive child, docile and well-behaved in front of me, and he is close to Fourteen, although you are generous with gifts. "I know that in the battle of the nine sons, the eighth master was defeated, and even several brothers and ministers who had a good relationship with him were involved and had no good death. But now that the situation of the eighth master is very good, Concubine De and Fourteen value it, so I used the best Hetian jade to cast two longevity peaches as congratulatory gifts. Of course, on the fourth master's birthday, I sent two pairs!

When giving gifts to the future emperor, you must not be soft, this is my principle.

On the day of the eighth master's birthday, the fourteenth waited outside the door for me to make up, and I was so irritable that I was spinning. Women are troublesome, not only have to guard the etiquette in the palace, and not allow the slightest transgression, but also have to be sharpened in a large number of Fujin princesses, and they can't be compared to them, otherwise they will lose the royal face.

Among them, the joints are proportionate, and it is really difficult to grasp.

I finally finished dressing up, and it was rare to put on heavy makeup, and I was dressed brightly and charmingly, but Fourteen didn't even look at it, and I still had a poker face and thought I was procrastinating. He was good, combed his braids, put on his brother's robe, and at most changed a jade belt, and the side was the same as usual, so naturally it didn't take much effort. I exclaimed, "What's the hurry, there's no hot tofu waiting for you to eat." Fourteen walked quickly and said, "You still want to eat hot tofu, the boiling water is cold!" I glared at him angrily, and he was not polite, glaring back at me four or five times.

The two of us came and went, arguing all the way to the Eighth Master's Mansion, which scared the people in the palace below.

The Eight Masters Mansion is extraordinary, and there are hundreds of green and red sedan chairs parked in front of the door. Fourteen wanted to carry me out of the carriage, I ignored him, and helped Minqiu to jump off, Fourteen rolled his eyes and said, "Don't shout pain if you break your leg." "When I entered the house, he and the eighth master ate wine and watched singing and dancing in the front yard, and I followed Princess Gege of Fujin to watch the play in the backyard.

Seeing that halfway through, the eighth master led a few brothers over to say hello, and when he saw that I and Fourteen ignored each other, he smiled and said, "You are really a little couple, what's wrong?" I hurriedly smiled and said, "I'm fine with Fourteen, I really didn't quarrel." The Thirteen Blessings Jin Zhaojia Clan came out of nowhere, and the yin and yang smiled angrily: "Oh, fourteen brothers and sisters, but no one said that you quarreled." He also said: "There have long been rumors in the elder brother's office, saying that the fourteenth Fujin and the fourteenth master are not compatible, and the fourteenth master never has the same room with the fourteenth Fujin except for the fifteenth day of the first month..."

Fourteen was about to speak, but it was the thirteenth master who scolded first: "Shut up! ”
