Return to the Qing Dynasty (5)

The palace has been very busy recently.

Third elder brother has moved back, which is a big deal.

People coming in and out of the palace looked lively. The masters were wondering what Long Live the Lord meant? Could it be that the person they were interested in was not the fourth elder brother but the third elder brother. But no matter what they thought in their hearts, they faced

Everyone has to look happy. And for the slaves, this may be an opportunity to stand out. The scheming ones have also begun to work hard to see if they can go to the elder brother's place to serve the third elder brother. The third elder brother

There are a lot of opportunities there, little brother Fujin Gege is surrounded by people who need to be taken care of.

Nowadays, the elder brother lives not only the princes, but also several young princes from the Kangxi Dynasty. Not all those who have not left the palace are in the elder brother's residence. Since the late emperor left, these young elder brothers have become more cautious.

You use what you use, you eat what you give as a gift, adhering to the principle of not causing trouble to others but not attracting attention.

The fourth master and Lin Yutong asked Su Peisheng and Zhang Qilin to go there several times, always to the town, to let people know that these little brothers are not uncared about, and every day the fourth master did not forget to ask a few people about their homework, and they were always busy during meals.

After appreciating the vegetables, even with the fresh fruits, I didn’t forget anyone. Lin Yutong kept asking people to watch and give Taiyi pens, inks, paper, inkstones and food decorations. To be honest, he was more comfortable than when the late emperor was there.

Some of the concubines in the palace wanted to find fault, but before they could say anything, the queen over there had the grace to come down again. First there was a concubine and an imperial doctor, followed closely by the embroiderer and then the

Chef, I said yesterday what I wanted to eat, and I will definitely see you today. Apart from the fact that the place where I live is a little crowded, I really can’t say anything else.

But can we talk about the crowded living conditions? Concubines with sons are waiting to go out to reunite with their sons and grandsons. If they say something at this time and offend others, they really can’t do it. What should they do if they don’t allow it when they are about to go out? After all, in the end

Whether to go out or not is entirely a matter of words. Don't torment your son for nothing when the time comes. Concubines who don't have sons will even dare not speak. It's better to tell the truth now than when the late emperor was there.

Lin Yutong and the Fourth Master were sitting opposite the Queen Mother at the moment. The Fourth Master responded, but the Queen Mother looked somewhat uncomfortable.

The fourth master just pretended not to see him, "...call Shi Shi back first, and when he comes back, ask him to renovate Changchun Garden first. After the filial piety period is over, E Niang can move there and live loosely. I feel bored, no matter what.

Anyone who wants to come in and accompany you to relieve your boredom is welcome."

Seizing military power without holding anyone accountable is already the best solution. It is much better than being detained outside without freedom or being monitored. It is said that Changchun Garden is being repaired, but in fact, during the period of filial piety, there is no way to touch the late emperor.

The garden is just an excuse.

"You are a king and a brother, so you have to bear with me no matter how you deal with him." After saying this, the Queen Mother changed the subject, "I can just go to Changchun Garden and let others go. These late emperor's concubines who can't leave the palace can just follow me."

Just move out..."

They all went to Changchun Garden to avoid causing trouble in the palace.

Lin Yutong understood what the Empress Dowager meant. With this big move, the palace would follow suit. Let out all those who should be let out, and sort out everyone from top to bottom. Besides, those little ones that the late emperor pampered in his later years

The noble Xiao Chang is here, and speaking of age, there are more than a dozen young girls aged fifteen or sixteen. If they stay in the palace and cause trouble, it will be troublesome. It is better to take them out and open a special place in Changchun Garden called Changchun Garden.

They stayed alone. With the Queen Mother watching, nothing could go wrong.

This is a sincere consideration for myself and Fourth Master. Otherwise, who would dare to speak so clearly.

Lin Yutong accepted this kindness and gave the Queen Mother some reassurance before going out, "...When the fourteenth brother comes back, ask him to come and pay your respects..."

After coming out of Cining Palace, Fourth Master took Lin Yutong's hand, and the two of them walked back, seemingly silent.

I rested at night and couldn't sleep, thinking, "If it weren't for you... I would be like this now... not a good father or a good son..." Even as brothers, there are a few people who remember their kindness.

Lin Yutong leaned on the pillow and patted his back again and again. This is how this person felt.

But the good news goes as quickly as it comes. I was depressed the first day, but I was revived with full blood the next day. I still got up at three in the morning to go to the morning.

"The time has to be changed!" Lin Yutong turned over and had no intention of getting up. "It has to be after eight o'clock no matter what." It's midnight every day, or it's not easy to be an emperor.

But which emperor throughout the ages did not regard diligence as an important criterion for being a wise king?

With this in mind, Fourth Master waved his hand to Lin Yutong, saying that this matter should not be rushed, "It will take ten years..." After ten years, everything will be straightened out, and it will be much easier to change these details at that time. If you try it now,

Try, those censors dare to hit the pillars at the palace gate.

Su Peisheng curled up his head and waited for the fourth master to wash himself, reminding himself over and over again that he must forget what his master and empress said today, otherwise if word spread that "the king did not come to court early", a few heads would not be enough to compensate himself. The queen

Also, why do you dare to say anything to others? Since ancient times, sages and queens have always advised the emperor to be diligent in his work. How can there be a queen like this who dislikes the emperor getting up early? If the adults of the previous dynasty knew about this, what would happen?

It was such a big deal. If the emperor didn't think of hooking up with the queen, it wouldn't last long. But he felt guilty when he thought about it. With the queen's appearance and her current age, he didn't even believe the word "hooking".

.

Su Peisheng doesn't believe it, but some people do.

"...are you really holding hands with the Queen?" Master Jiu swallowed the mouthwash in his mouth, turned his face and asked Master Ten, who came over early in the morning, "Where did you get the news? Which slave is dazzled?"

Can I tell you then? You can’t even kiss Ninth Brother.

The Tenth Master whistled and teased the thrush in the corridor, "...Coming out of Cining Palace...it's really true. The news is true. I looked at it, and the fourteenth man couldn't tell that he was really fine."

Master Jiu spat out the taste of green salt that remained in his mouth, "How do you say this? Isn't it a show?"

"How do you know that?" Master Ten turned back to look at Master Nine, "What do you think the problem is?"

Where could it be?

If Nian is cold, the problem must be with Nian Gengyao.

Master Jiu didn't talk about it. He was worried about E Niang leaving the palace these two days. "...The Ministry of Industry has sent people to Brother Five, but how can I not repair it here?"

The tenth master had a pouty mouth, and his mother-in-law died early, leaving no one to support. Thinking about it makes people feel very sad.

have to!

Master Jiu knew that this matter should not be discussed with the goods. Nowadays, anyone who goes to the Ministry of Industry is sent to other places. "The third, fifth, seventh, and eighth brother have all gone there. I sent people to the Ministry of Industry yesterday."

, he said that he replied last night, but no one has come yet. What do you mean this is not allowed?" Then, without waiting for Master Shi's reply, he just ordered people to go to the inner house, "Go and tell Fujin to ask her today.

Pass the sign to the palace..."

"Tell me to come into the palace?" Jiu Fujin blew the thin skin of the melon seeds in his hand leisurely, then poured a handful into his mouth and chewed the sweetness, "Who should I go into the palace to see?"

Master Jiu, who was invited back, rolled his eyes at her, "You're really stupid. Whoever keeps his word will go to whom?"

Long live your words, why don't you go?

Jiu Fujin didn't care. Why should I be asked to ask for help? "Why do people give me this face?" Did you earn face for me?

"You're stupid!" Master Jiu never knew when his own Fujin became so blind. "Where does the face come from? You burn incense and worship Buddha and pay enough for the incense, and the Buddha will give you three points of face..."

"You asked me to enter the palace and bribe the queen?" Jiu Fujin stood up, waved his hands repeatedly, turned around and went to the inner room, "Whoever wants to do this can do it. Anyway, I won't go!"

These silly old ladies can’t even take away favors!

It’s really hard work to marry someone back home!

"Bribery, that sounds awful." Master Jiu felt a little disgusted, "Would I do such a dishonorable thing?"

I can do the most tasteless things in the world in a refreshing and refined way.

As he spoke, he waved, followed by a stream of boys holding flowerpots who came in from outside the door.

"Put it all down, put it down." Master Jiu waved his hand and told everyone to go down. Then he waved to Jiu Fujin, "Come and see, is it difficult for you to bring these things into the palace?"

Jiu Fujin looked at them one by one and found that the flowers were in good condition and they were all famous brands.

But no matter how famous it is, "it's also peony!"

Isn't this nonsense?

It’s May, can we get peonies?

"What happened to the peony?" Master Jiu snorted, "Do you know how much money one of these things is worth?"

Even this amount of money can’t give peonies to the queen!

"No!" Jiu Fujin pointed to two of the pots and said to the nanny beside him: "Put this pot of ruby ​​gold and the pot of Lantian jade warm in the flower room..."

Master Jiu grabbed Jiu Fujin and pulled him back, "Don't take advantage of the situation. When I tell you the origin of the things, you will know why I asked you to go there..."

"...Originally, a businessman from Jiangnan spent a lot of money to get it, but after a lot of thought, he said it was going to be sent to a nobleman's mansion. But I don't know why. Maybe something happened to that nobleman's family.

, I just can’t give it away. But the flowering season has arrived..." Jiu Fujin smiled a little embarrassedly at Lin Yutong, "Our master said, this beautiful flower needs to be cut off, it's just a toy, call me Baba

I sent it in for my fourth sister-in-law to take a look at."

Which noble person can I give this famous peony to?

Among the noble people mentioned by Jiu Ye and Jiu Fujin, the most noble ones are those in this palace.

The one who is worthy of peony in the palace is the noble concubine Nian.

What Jiu Fujin wanted to say was that someone originally wanted to curry favor with the Nian family. But why would they rather miss the flowering period than give it away now? Of course, it means that the Nian family has fallen out of favor.

No matter when this matter is brought up, as the neglected wife, she should feel comfortable in her heart.

Didn’t they say it in the end? It’s just a thing!

Peony is a toy, not worthy of the status of the queen, it can only be a toy in the eyes of the queen!

Or is it that people in this world are only divided into smart people and unsmart people? No matter what it is, when it comes to the mouth of a smart person, it will become suitable if it is inappropriate. It just depends on how people think about it, how should they say it?

Go talk.

Lin Yutong waved her hand and told Jiu Fujin to sit calmly, "Jiu Di, what a mouth..." She asked someone to put the things away, "It's a good thing. As for whether it's peony or peony, those are all things that people added far-fetchedly."

, I am so worried. It is May now, peonies have passed and it is time for peonies. You can enjoy flowers according to the season. Just follow the weather and the time, so there is really no need to worry too much."

Jiu Fujin's heart moved, there was something in his words!
