Kangxi snorted, quite satisfied with Gao Yanzhong's flexibility.

Just remember who is the real master.

Jin Yiren, the appointed director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, was fictitious, but Gao Yanzhong was the future director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs that Kangxi had planned in his heart...

Ningshou Palace, main hall.

The Queen Mother ascended to the palace because the birthday gift from the emperor had arrived.

This year, it was Si Age who came to present birthday gifts, followed by officials from the Ministry of Rites and eunuchs carrying birthday gifts.

There is also this event every year, but it is not so grand.

This year marks the Queen Mother's 60th birthday, so it's different after all.

As officials from the Ministry of Rites sang, each birthday gift was carried in front of the Queen Mother.

There are Buddha statues, Imperial screens, Imperial Ruyi, Imperial turtles and cranes, as well as corals, chiming bells, dioramas and other tributes, all in pairs or single items, and the rest are court beads, materials, spices, and antiques.

, calligraphy and painting, etc., all use nine as the number, either one-nine or nine-nine.

Then there are the large handkerchief ninety-nine, the small handkerchief ninety-nine, the gold ninety-nine, the silver ninety-nine, and the six pommel horses.

There is also an imperial dining room with tens of thousands of grains of rice to cook rice with jade grains from all over the world. There are also nine dishes and nine plates of fruits.

The Queen Mother listened with a smile, bowed and nodded towards Qianqing Palace, which was regarded as accepting the emperor's favor.

After all the things were carried down, the Queen Mother asked the fourth elder brother to sit in front of her, looked at him and said, "Why are you taking on this job? Didn't the third elder brother come here in the past years?"

The fourth brother stood up and replied: "The third brother stopped walking in the Rites Department and went to Taichang Temple. Now there is no prince supervising the Rites Department, so Khan Amma ordered his grandson to come and present birthday gifts."

The Queen Mother thought of Si Fujin, who was also a sensible and caring person. She was raised in the palace when she was ten years old and was born in a respectable family. However, it would not be easy without Amma and brothers.

I took out the longevity lock and the tortoise bracelet that I found out, they are for Si Fujin and my little brother."

Aunt Bai responded and then came over with two brocade boxes.

The Queen Mother said to the fourth elder brother: "I asked someone to look through things yesterday, and I remembered the little elder brother from your family and the fifth family. That bracelet was for Si Fujin. She is a good one. You can't do it just because your father-in-law is gone.

Just be patient with her."

The old lady spoke bluntly, but she meant well.

The fourth elder brother hurriedly said: "My grandson doesn't dare. Fujin is my grandson's original wife. He has to produce heirs for my grandson and take care of the inner courtyard. It's a lot of hard work. It's not too late for my grandson to be grateful and he won't treat me lightly."
