Happy dreams (22)

It's the New Year, and Tongtong is looking forward to it. She takes out this year's new clothes and last year's and puts them on the kang to compare them: "I'm so taller, and I've also lost so much weight." Then she doesn't praise her father.

He said, "I have grown so tall, and gained so much weight." As he said this, he gestured excitedly with his hands. After that, he pulled the man to stand face to face, and the two of them competed. Wow! Master

It’s so high!

It’s a good thing that I’m getting taller, it’s a good thing that I’m losing weight, it’s a good thing that I’m getting fat, and it’s a good thing for our family this year.

The person who said it couldn't help but feel happy.

This joyful mood passed the twelfth lunar month, and when the twelfth lunar month entered, the emperor began to give out rewards. The queen mother came down, and she was very happy to collect the new year's money. The emperor and the queen mother still remembered that the sixth child had not come out this winter. It was pitiful to see all kinds of things.

Give more supplements.

Looking at so many bird's nests, the only worry I have is: "It's so troublesome to pick out the hair from this bird's nest." I have to find a girl with a good eye to pick out the hair from it every day.

During the Laba Festival, I ate Laba porridge, and sent Yingying to Wang Shun, "Remember to ask him to pickle Laba garlic, don't forget."

Remember it!

Wang Shun is now serving the sixth elder brother. Although there is always Fujin who tries to teach the imperial chef how to cook, I have to say that this job is really good and it is very worry-free. When ordering the food, he sounded very picky.

But when he submitted it, he never said anything bad. He didn’t dare to say that every time he did it, he followed the masters’ wishes. However, the fact that the master didn’t say anything proved that the master was a master who really didn’t like to do anything.

It’s great that everyone is so happy. Isn’t this year coming to an end?

There was also a letter sent from outside the palace, saying that he wanted to marry his brother a few years ago. The brother married a girl from the Gualjia family, not the Gualjia from the princess's natal family. Anyway, she was quite prominent, but she was just a side branch.

Tongtong discussed with her father again to see if anything should be added.

Can my brother-in-law be careless about getting married? "I'll ask Zhao Qishan to do it, and I'll add another eight hundred taels of silver."

Tongtong was blessed with a smile that was prettier than the flowers, "Thank you for the reward."

Is this worth thanking?

Tongtong chuckled, "I still want to beg my mother."

There's quite a lot of care in the world! If you want to go, just go.

Concubine De was a bit dumbfounded. She came over so straightforwardly and said, "Here comes my mother-in-law's reward."

Generally, the correct way to do this kind of thing is to ask the people around you to tell the people around you and ask for your opinion, and then you will reward yourself. If she is like this, sit down next to you and say, "

E Niang, my daughter-in-law is here to ask for E Niang's reward."

Rogue and affectionate.

My daughter-in-law is so cheerful and joyful that she smiles like a flower at all times. She is really happy when she sees her, and she also becomes happy from the bottom of her heart. She used to worry about the sixth child, but now she feels it in her heart.

How relaxing. She felt that because of this daughter-in-law, her son had been found again.

She asked carefully what reward she was asking for.

After asking, I found out that the son of Xilinjueluo's family was getting married.

Reward! You must get a reward. Not only did she reward it, she also got up and tidied it up, "Go with E Niang to pay your respects to the Queen Mother."

I went to ask for a reward from the Queen Mother.

It doesn't matter how much the things that leave the palace are worth, the key is that they are rewards from the palace.

With the reward from the Queen Mother and the reward from her mother-in-law, the family knows that her life in the palace is not bad. It saves the family from worries. This is the filial piety of the children.

After returning from the Queen Mother's side, Tongtong knelt down and kowtowed to her mother-in-law sincerely, but could not say a word.

Seeing this, Concubine De felt sad and said, "Good boy, get up! Live a good life with Lao Liu."

After receiving the reward from the Queen Mother, the imperial concubine also gave the reward. The other three concubines did not mention giving rewards, but sent people out of the palace to congratulate him on the happy event. Then the other princes and elder brothers also sent people.

Only then did Xilinjueluo's family feel that their uncle must be fine, and that their girl's life in the palace would be the same as if she had brought him back, so she would be relieved.

After that, Lin Yutong went to thank all the empresses again.

The other empresses paid it off, but the concubine didn't look good, but she still saw her and said a few words. When Tongtong went back, she told her father, "Looking at the concubine, something seems to be wrong with her body."

These words startled people, "Are you serious?"

My feeling is that what I saw is quite real. But I can’t feel someone’s pulse!

I know, no one will believe you even if you say it, "I'll talk to Lao Shi later, and you can't talk anymore about this matter. The imperial doctor checks the pulse every five days, and the pulse records are kept. I'm afraid people know it very well."

This is not something we should talk about. If there are serious symptoms, the emperor is probably aware of them. If the emperor knows, how can the ladies not know about it? It’s just that the Chinese New Year is coming, and no one is saying anything to celebrate.

Don’t be too troublesome!

Oh! That’s true.

Seeing that this year is over, it would be great if it could end like this. Everyone thought that this year was over, but something happened right after.

This is not the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, but the anniversary of the death of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang. The emperor decreed that on that day, the prince should be asked to pay homage to her.

This is normal! Although officials are often sent for this kind of thing, this time the prince was sent.

These imperial brothers must follow them, and my father also has to go. Tongtong even sewed knee pads specially for fear that his knees would get cold in the cold winter months. "You have to wear them inside and don't let anyone see them."

Afraid of being charged with disrespect!

But everything was ready, and then the Minister of Rites didn't know what kind of trick he had, and he didn't know if it was because of someone's instruction or because he just wanted to pat the prince's horse. Just like having a flu, he suddenly wrote to the emperor and said, "The prince

If there is a sacrifice, where should the prince's position be located?

There is a difference! Descendants can enter the main hall, but the place where the shrine is located inside and the futon is placed in front of it is relatively narrow and separated from the main hall outside by a threshold. During the memorial ceremony, only the emperor and the queen can be inside.

, of course, in the Ming Dynasty, the prince's could also be installed inside.

Therefore, the Ministry of Rites is in a dilemma. The prince is the crown prince, right?

So, he went to Zhezi and asked, where should we put the crown prince's seat?

The emperor replied, saying that the crown prince saluted just like the prince, just outside the palace.

Now that the emperor has given a reply, wouldn't it be over if the minister complies with it? But it is estimated that the minister does not dare. He is afraid that the prince will not like to see him because of this matter after he ascends the throne, so he thinks he is very smart and puts this matter into law.

It was filed and it was clearly stated that this was the emperor's wish and had nothing to do with me.

But naturally someone turned around and told the emperor about this matter, saying what happened to who, and then the emperor knew about it.

Tongtong listened to her father say such a magical thing, and she was very excited in the middle of the night. She was really shocked by such a magical minister. He was out of his realm! So he asked quickly: "Then what?

?”

Then, my master chuckled: "The emperor just said 'what are your opinions' on the document..." After saying that, he started to laugh muffledly.

Tongtong also laughed, but didn't it just make people want to laugh? She now felt that this must not have been instigated by anyone, it was simply that the minister was afraid of taking responsibility. In the past, the prince was not considered an adult, but now the prince is an adult

Yeah! A lot of etiquette things have to be paid attention to. He asked the emperor first, and the emperor said that the crown prince was like other princes, but he was afraid! He was afraid that after the prince ascended the throne in the future, he would have opinions about what happened today. He thought that

It’s like he doesn’t think highly of the prince! In order to clear the air, he marked it, “The one who treated you like this is the emperor, and I have nothing to do with you as a slave.”

This guy is still a Manchu minister, and he is very courageous. I guess the Han ministers don't have this courage.

Then the emperor asked, what do you think?

This means: What do you mean by doing this? In order not to be punished by the prince in the future, you are blocking me in front of you.

Tongtong asked, "How to deal with it?"

Disposal?

"It can't be dealt with at the moment. It's the Chinese New Year. It's so happy to deal with people at this time. It's not merciful." Of course the emperor has to be gentle. "After the first month of next year, I'm afraid it will have to be dealt with. He, as a minister, is probably at his end.

."

Tongtong laughed at first, and then stopped laughing. At first hearing about this incident, it was a fun and hilarious thing, but after you get over it, you will find that the things inside are not funny at all.

The ministers could not ignore the prince. When listening to the emperor, they had to consider the prince's feelings and not dare to offend the prince. As for the emperor, he realized this and wanted to let everyone know through this matter that the prince also

He's just the crown prince——that's all! The prince is the same as other princes.

Years ago, he first asked the third elder brother and the fourth elder brother to go to the Confucius Temple to worship, and then asked the fifth elder brother to visit several princes of the clan on his behalf. This was actually dragging these elder brothers out to walk in front of people. Years ago again

All of a sudden, he directly said that the crown prince has the same position as other princes, making this statement clear.

"Master, that dream before..."

He dreamed that the one who succeeded him was not the prince. He said he couldn't see the reason before, but now? He could see it more or less. He gritted his teeth and said, "The most disgusting ones are these ministers!"

Nothing happened at first, but trouble arose because of their speculation.

Then when we watched the sacrifice, the prince's position was outside the threshold, in front of the eldest brother, but across the threshold from the emperor's seat. This made the people watching feel a little complicated.

Is the prince feeling well at this time? How would he feel when he is looked at by ministers and brothers with various expressions?

And what do these brothers think when they look at the position of the prince not far away from them? Is there something quietly sprouting in their hearts?

The annual banquet of Kangxi's thirty-third year came in this atmosphere.

No matter what you think in your heart, everyone is happy and happy now. The unpleasantness is just as if it never happened and everyone is happy.

But the older ones all have their own business. Not to mention the eldest brother has already led the army, but didn’t he send out errands in March, Fourth, and Five years ago? Then Six or Seven should be more active and follow their emperor.

Amma said: Look at your son! Look at your son! If you have any errands to run, don’t forget your son.
