Kangxi has a smile on his face, deep wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, his hands are peacefully placed on his knees, his posture is graceful, and he has a royal spirit, which makes people submit and obey.

I was solemn for a moment, and said respectfully: "Xie Huang Ama cares, I'm already fine." Kangxi snorted, stopped looking at me, and then stared at Concubine De, and said gently: "I have written a few couplets, and I will let Li Dequan send them to you after a while." Concubine De hurriedly said: "Thank you for the emperor's grace." Kangxi said: "There are also some happy words and blessing words, you can share them with the palace concubines." Concubine De responded

"Yes", and said with a smile: "The concubine cooked mutton soup, and drinking it at this time is the best way to keep warm from the cold, can the emperor taste it?" Kangxi pursed his lips and smiled, and said: "I have been in a lot of anger recently, and I have only drunk clear porridge these days, and my throat is dry. Saying this, it means not eating, Concubine De felt uncomfortable, but her face was as if nothing happened, and said: "The concubine didn't know that the emperor's holy body was sick, and she was really guilty." Kangxi smiled: "I specially don't let people talk about it, it's just a fire, so I don't have to make a big fuss." "Seeing that the two of them were respectful and polite, I just felt cautious.

Kangxi changed his words and said, "Someone came to report in the morning that the second elder brother had killed a woman, do you know?" Concubine De was stunned for a moment and said, "No one has told the concubine." She has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and the affairs of the six palaces on the bright side are all handled by herself, Kangxi rarely asks, but in fact, Concubine De thinks about the holy will in everything and never dares to make random claims.

The second elder brother is a abolished prince, no name, no title, he still lives in Yuqing Palace, and a large group of palace maids and eunuchs are waiting, except that there is no personal freedom, and the clothes next to him are exactly the same as when he was in power.

Now that the woman next to him is dead, and it is unprecedented, Concubine De really feels tricky. But Kangxi specially came to Yonghe Palace to discuss this matter with her, and she guessed that Kangxi had already had an idea.

Sure enough, Kangxi twisted his eyebrows and said: "The second elder brother committed a heinous crime, and I am angry and angry, but after all, it is flesh and blood, and the relationship between father and son cannot be parted no matter what." Concubine De said solemnly: "This is the normal feeling of people, the emperor attaches great importance to love and righteousness, and it is the blessing of the people of the Qing Dynasty." Kangxi looked at a cluster of crimson peonies on the high table and said, "Let the internal affairs office handle the funeral, and you will order it."

An example of "yes" is sufficient. Concubine De expected this, and said, "The concubine obeys the order." "The gift of promise, you can wear eight forgings, bathe in the palace, put it in the coffin, send it to Cao Balitun, and choose a day for burial.

For a lowly and nameless bedwoman, this is a great grace. It is also enough to see Kangxi's deep fatherly love for the second elder brother.

After Kangxi finished speaking, his mood seemed to be much better, and he took two sips of tea before saying, "I heard that the fourteenth daughter-in-law learned astrological divination, but is it true?" "I can't even tell the difference between yin and yang, Leo or Sagittarius?

！ But somehow, the more I explained, the more I didn't understand, the more others thought I was awesome, and they didn't believe that I couldn't.

I clarified, "It's a nonsense spread by people outside, and I haven't learned astrological divination." Kangxi smiled slightly and said: "Yes, astrological gossip is extremely difficult to understand, I have been boasting of learning for decades, but I still only know one and not the other, with your talent, it is impossible to learn in two or three months." "What do you mean?

Call me stupid in a roundabout way! I:"" I put on an embarrassed smile and said, "Huang Ama is wise." Kangxi finished talking about business, and the gossip was over, so he got up and went back to the Qianqing Palace.

Sifujin and I were sent to the platform with Concubine De, Kangxi got on the sedan chair, the eunuch sang loudly, and everyone knelt to send it off, until the guard of honor turned around and the Yonghe Gate was gone, and Concubine De led us back to the house tremblingly.

Sifujin pulled me and asked, "You really won't?" How did you calculate the Beatitudes' pregnancy? She begged the gods to take medicine and administer needles, just to give birth to a child, and the whole capital knew about it, but she couldn't get pregnant, why did you get pregnant as soon as you said it? "How do I know that!

I said, "The child is also fate, and it will naturally come when it is time to come, and it has nothing to do with me." The four blessings of the Jin Dynasty were shattered, and his face showed a look of extreme fatigue.

Soon came to the new year, Kangxi sealed the seal and no longer dealt with court affairs. The ministers of the DPRK and China all took annual leave, and when they were 14 free, they often invited the ministers into the palace to eat and drink.

However, they handed over cups in the front yard and did not disturb the backyard. The news that I will divinate and look at the astrological signs has been passed on again and again, and it is useless to refute or explain it, and the more it spreads, the more fierce it becomes, and the momentum that cannot be stopped can be stopped.

Gradually, Mrs. Yu brought her daughter and daughter-in-law to visit her and begged me to give me a good way to get pregnant.

Hey, I'm not sending Guanyin! My memory has not grown, I still don't remember anything, and occasionally I dream of strange things, such as a four-wheeled bicycle running on the road like a small room, but I can run fast without horses and donkeys.

Sometimes I would dream of men and women dressed very strangely, and buildings built high into the sky, etc., etc., and I told Fourteen about this, and Fourteen would always laugh and say, "You used to love to say strange things, but now even dreaming is strange and unheard of" He didn't take it seriously, and I didn't take it to heart.

It's almost the New Year, Shu Fang Fujin according to last year's example, to the girls and minions in the house sent new clothes and silver rewards, and because next year's Hongchun's Fujin Guerjia clan is going to enter the house, although the date is not set, but Kangxi's will has been made, and it cannot be changed, so the house should prepare another gift to the Guarjia family's house, so as not to lose courtesy.

Shu Fang Fujin has been dealing with the affairs of the house for a long time, and he is quite proficient in human affairs, but he is afraid that Hongchun is his son, but he does not dare to make his own opinions, so he listens to my orders in everything.

I have lost my memory, and I don't know much about the affairs of the house, and most of the decisions are made by Minqiu. Hongchun is the eldest son of the Fourteenth Mansion, and if he doesn't handle it properly, he will make people outside think that our Fourteenth Baylor Mansion doesn't understand the rules, so I made me nervous, turned over a lot of old examples, and went to the Sifu Jin Mansion to inquire about the operation of Hongli, and then set a gift list and ordered Hongchun to send it in person.

On the evening of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Fourteen and I led Hongchun, Hongming, and Ah Xing to the Qianqing Palace for a banquet.

As in previous years, the family banquet was set up in the apse, and the harem concubines, princes and princesses gathered together to toast the emperor and greet the New Year.

Silk and bamboo singing and dancing, rare delicacies constantly, a group of laughter, joyful. Kangxi looked at a group of villains and liked it very much, and ordered Hongchun, Hongli, Hongming, Hongjun and other emperors and grandchildren to sit under the throne and serve the banquet.

Ah Xing sat behind me, sullen, and said, "Eniang, why can they sit next to the imperial grandfather, but I can't?" "She is not young, and she should understand these truths, but it is all because I usually instilled in her too many concepts of equality between men and women, so that she is not as restrained and humble as other royal granddaughters.

Her banquet was behind me, and I turned around and said, "Isn't it good to sit behind E-niang?" If you want to eat snacks for a while, E-Niang will bring it to you. Ah Xing pursed his lips, clasped his hands to his chest, stared at Hongming's table, and said, "Who wants to eat snacks?!" In fact, she knows the rules of this banquet very well, and she also knows that Kangxi values the emperor and grandson, but she is not happy.

I whispered to her, "What's the good of sitting there?" Look at Hongming Hongchun, sitting stiffly, not even daring to speak, not daring to laugh, how comfortable you are sitting with Eniang. He said secretly: "If you don't want to stay and go home, Hongming is hungry, and E-Niang has to make him a snack." "And Hongchun now lives alone in a courtyard, and there are two concubines waiting for him, so he can be regarded as a family, and he no longer needs to be taken care of by his elders.

Ah Xing was still unhappy, and turned his face to find Gege of the Thirteenth Master's family to speak. The Thirteen Blessings Jin Zhaojia sat in the seat next to me, and she looked at me for a long time before she said, "You really have a brain injury and don't remember anything?" Do you remember me? I smiled politely: "Although I don't remember you, I know that you are the Thirteenth Fujin, and the fourteen generals told me the order of the table before entering the palace." Zhao Jiashi smiled reluctantly and said, "That's good" I don't know whether she said that I had amnesia, or that I knew that she was the Thirteenth Blessing Jin, every time I looked at her, I always felt an inexplicable hostility, which made me very uncomfortable, and I wanted to stay away and not meet her.

The Thirteenth Master is not bad, he is sitting at the same table with Zhao Jia's family, and he listens carefully to me talking to Zhao Jia's family, but he doesn't say more than half a word.

He was quiet, like a lonely and proud scholar. The banquet dispersed in the middle of the night, and everyone went out of the palace according to the rules.

We were behind the people in the thirteenth master's house, the fourteenth and eighth masters had drunk too much, and they were still talking under the corridor, I held Hongming with one hand and Ah Xing with the other, and said to Hongchun: "Go to your Ama and say that I have something to say to him." Hongchun agreed, and Ah Xing pouted: "Every year my birthday is the same as if it had never been." "I know she's not feeling good in her heart, children, looking at birthdays is bigger than New Year's.

I shook her hand and said with a smile: "The entire Qianqing Palace wishes you a happy birthday, and the imperial grandfather also specially rewarded you with a wish, what else do you want?" Ah Xing complained and said: "Where is wishing me a happy birthday, it's just a word by the way, it's really boring." I comforted, "Would you like to make you a birthday cake for you?" As soon as I finished speaking, I couldn't help but think: why do you want to make a birthday cake?

Why do I say that? Ah Xing was so excited that he stroked his palms and said: "Okay, okay, I just want to eat" I don't know when, the thirteenth master has stood in front of him and asked, "What is the birthday cake?" Ah Xing hurriedly explained, "It's a kind of pastry made by my mother, and she knows how to do it in the whole Qing Dynasty!" Even the old plums in the kitchen learned from Eniang. But Lao Lizi didn't learn like it, and it was not as delicious as Eniang's. Thirteen hadn't eaten it, I didn't know what it was, his eyes looked at me deeply, and he smiled lightly: "I want to taste it another day." I said, "No problem!" ”...
