.

"snort!"

Kangxi thought of Brother Jiu's triumphant look the day before, and snorted softly, saying: "If you don't praise me, you'll be wagging your tail. If you praise me any more, you'll be like a flying monkey. You can't praise me!"

Concubine Yi: "..."

If you don't reward me with anything and you won't say anything nice, this is just kissing Amma, otherwise Ninth Prince will definitely take a note of it.

Kangxi had nothing to say to such a tiny child, so he ordered Wei Zhu: "Send it to Min Bin and Wang Guiren!"

Wei Zhu responded and took the people down.

Kangxi said to Concubine Yi: "You can pick some good things later and give them to Dong E."

Concubine Yi stood up and said with a smile: "I accept my order."

Kangxi waved his hand, told her to sit down, and said: "This year, the governor of Guangdong has donated several dioramas. Please keep two more."

Concubine Yi sat down again, touched her face and said, "I loved the mirror the most in my early years, but now I don't dare to look at it."

Kangxi looked at Concubine Yi carefully and said: "You are just lying. I see that you are no different from previous years. You look about the same age as Concubine Min..."

Speaking of this, he felt a little emotional and said: "On the contrary, Concubine Hui and Concubine De have become prime ministers in recent years..."

Because of the death of his concubine, Kangxi also felt a bit of compassion for his old concubines. In the past few months, he had been particularly considerate.

Yi Fei smiled bitterly, they are old people here, how can they be young no matter how young they are?

Even Minbin, who is now a mother-in-law, has to take a step back when she sees the person who is going to be a grandmother in front of a beauty as young as the concubine.

In a few years, when I go to the Queen Mother's Palace to pay my respects, I will have to sit around a circle of old ladies. That scene is really unimaginable.

Kangxi looked at Concubine Yi and said, "The governor of Zhejiang has brought pearls as tribute. You can use two boxes to grind them into powder."

Concubine Yi said happily: "Then I'll wait. I usually can't bear to waste money like this."

After the imperial concubine chatted for a few words, Kangxi remembered that there were people waiting to see him outside, and ordered Liang Jiugong to pass on the people.

After hearing this, Concubine Yi said: "Your Majesty, how about I go back first?"

Kangxi shook his head and said: "No, it's not anyone else. One is Cao Yin's nephew, and the other is Fushan's son. It just so happens that you can also take a look at Lao Jiu's people."

At this moment, Liang Jiugong brought Cao Shun and Erhe in.

"My slave Cao Shun (Erhe) pays his respects to the emperor..."

The two of them came in with low eyebrows, not daring to raise their heads, and bowed to the throne on the Kang.

But the moment they entered, in addition to the figures on the kang, they also saw a group of female relatives sitting beside them, and they didn't dare to cross. They just lowered their heads and looked at the blue bricks in front of them.

"Qika!"

Kangxi shouted and looked at Cao Shun.

As Cao Yin's nephew, Kangxi had met Cao Shun long before giving him to his ninth elder brother, and he had met him several times in recent years.

Seeing that he looked honest and restrained, a bit like Cao Yin, Kangxi also felt friendly and said: "You have been promoted to chief of ceremonies. You were supposed to meet me at the official department, but today you are ahead of schedule."

Cao Shun knelt down again and said: "I am an incompetent servant who is mediocre and useless. Thanks to the grace of the emperor, I have a promising future. I am very frightened. I should have come to kowtow to the emperor and my master to express my gratitude."

Kangxi waved his hand and said: "I don't need your kowtow, I only want your loyalty. Your uncle is an excellent minister. I have been at my disposal for many years, and I have enjoyed it. I only hope that you will assist Jiu Beile well and give more encouragement to make Jiu Beile diligent."

If you don't talk about being a royal model, don't let anyone talk about it."

Cao Shun: "..."

This time I was really scared.

It really can’t be done!

He didn't hide it and showed his helplessness.

When Kangxi saw it, he hummed and said, "It's because you people don't know how to persuade the master, let him slack off, and accompany him to fool around, so his body is not well-trained."

This reminds me of Brother Nine’s “magic touch” in the paddock the day before yesterday.

For Cao Shun, it was really unfair because he never went to Nanyuan.

However, since the emperor had given him a lesson, Cao Shun honestly admitted his mistake and said, "My slave is stupid."

But Cao Shun was self-aware, and it was really not their turn to give advice to Master Jiu.

Even the Emperor’s dear Ama can’t make Master Jiu work hard, let alone minions like them.

Kangxi saw his honest temper, looked at Erhe and said: "I heard that you can now use the ten-power bow, which is much better than when you were in the palace?"

Erhe nodded and said: "Since I was working as an errand in Baylor's Mansion, I have learned a new bow and received guidance from Master Heishan. I have doubled my daily archery practice time. After three years, I will no longer embarrass the Emperor and Master Jiu."

"

Kangxi listened and was very satisfied and said: "Knowing your own shortcomings, learning the strengths of others, and being diligent and persevering is not bad."

He thought of Fushan, the Minister of Internal Affairs and Security of Ama in Erhe.

Fushan's eldest son was sick and weak, and his eldest grandson was of ordinary talent, not comparable to Erhe, his second son.

However, the Erhe family was separated just because the court respected Confucianism and valued the prince. The Eight Banners clan and nobles also changed the old customs. They no longer chose their sons or younger sons to inherit the title and family business. Instead, they had no choice but to inherit the title and family business.

To the legitimate son.

Kangxi fell into deep thought.

The titles of the Eight Banners are all awarded due to military merit.

For a person like Fushan's eldest son, even if he inherits a first-class title, there is no way to fill the gap.

Do you want to set other rules for this noble title?

For example, like the Fushan family, if the eldest son cannot fill the gap and cannot walk with the flag, he should not be allowed to fill the gap.

It can be succeeded by someone else, such as Erhe, Fushan's legitimate second son.

However, in order not to violate the Confucian etiquette of inheritance by the eldest son, after a hundred years in Erhe, this "generation inheritance" will end, and the title can be returned to the eldest son's lineage.

For the nobles and nobles, this nobility system has hidden dangers, but for the court, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages...

When Min Bin saw Seventeen Princesses being sent over, she was extremely speechless.

What is this thing called?

This time the Holy Emperor moved to Changchun Garden and brought with him not many concubines, and the mother of the Seventeen Princesses was not among them.

However, she still had a happy face. She took Shi Qi Ge Ge's hand and said to Wei Zhu: "The person you went to pick up? Thank you for your hard work in the cold weather. Shi Qi Ge Ge has been raised so well. It really makes Jiu Beile and Jiu Fujin

Tired."

Wei Zhu said: "It was my servant who went to pick it up. The emperor ordered his servant to deliver it to the empress."

Min Bin nodded and motioned to be rewarded with Wei Zhu's purse.

When Seventeen Gege was settled, Min Bin breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she brought several carts of things to Haidian, otherwise she would have been in trouble.

However, considering that Shi Qi Ge Ge's biological mother Liu was sensitive and thoughtful, Min Bin still planned to send people back to the palace tomorrow to ask Liu to pack some of Shi Qi Ge Ge's things and tell her the news about Shi Qi Ge Ge to reassure her.

.

Wang Guiren is the biological mother of the Nineteenth Prince, so there is no need to think so much.

She hugged her 19th brother and couldn't let go.

When the 19th elder brother yawned and fell asleep, his nanny came to Wang Guiren's place and explained her daily life in detail for the past month and a half.

Wang Guiren is not of high rank at the moment, but no one dares to look down upon him.

Everyone knows that Qixiang Palace is under renovation and is being prepared for the noble king.

These dressing ladies in the Ministry of Internal Affairs are all human sperm, so they are naturally willing to heat up the stove.

Wang Guiren listened and was very grateful to Shu Shu.

Even though this job was a hard-line job for the emperor, she still deserves her gratitude for being able to do her best.

When the nanny left, Wang Guiren said to the palace attendants: "Remind me when you return to the palace, and find some good things from the warehouse to prepare. When Jiu Fujin gives birth next year, I will give you an extra one in the name of the 19th prince."

present."

The palace man remembered it and said to the noble king: "My lord, since the Nineteenth Master has started to eat complementary food, do you want to send a message to the dining room in Renyuan?"

The ingredients in the palace are all fixed.

What level of master and what ingredients are distributed every day.

The eunuchs and palace servants below were also divided into different levels.

Although the 19th elder brother is the master, he has been using a wet nurse before and has not started eating, so there is no daily meal plan.

Wang Guiren thought for a while, shook his head and said: "No need to make a big fuss, just eat with me first, I will ask Concubine Yi later."

Not to mention that she is just a noble now, even if she is really appointed as a concubine, it is not easy to go beyond Concubine Yi and directly give orders to the people of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Your Majesty Wang is now a nobleman, but ever since you became pregnant with your 19th prince, you have been providing for him according to the concubine's rules.
