Liang Jiugong, who was standing next to Long Xi and also bent down to salute, heard this and couldn't help but glance at Prince Chun out of the corner of his eye. He felt deeply that everything he said to him along the way was in vain.
When the uncle who normally gives gifts hears that his nephews secretly burned the gifts he gave to adults who are not at home, his first reaction should be to think about whether there is really something wrong with the gifts he gave.
The nephews didn't burn other people's things, but only burned the things he gave them?
As for Prince Chun, it seems that his thinking has gone astray. He thinks that the number of gifts he sent is too small, and it is not enough for his nephews to burn? He will forget about burning it this time, and he will give more next time!
Damn it! Foolish people are indeed lucky! No wonder such a foolish Prince Chun can make the Emperor, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager prefer him among their brothers.
Kangxi was also speechless to his seventh brother, who was completely confused about the situation. He waved his hands heartbrokenly and said: "You all sit down, let's talk about this matter tonight and see what happens.
thing."
"Hehe, thank you very much, brother."
When Longxi saw this, he immediately stretched out his hand to pull out a carved armchair, and sat down next to Kangxi's left hand. When he saw the imperial concubine also sitting down opposite, he hurriedly held his hands and said with a smile:
"My servant and Fujin are really grateful to the little emperor's sister-in-law who sent someone out of the palace half a month ago to give him the piece of warm jade. Fulhun has become a lot more lively in the past half month. Fujin added supplementary food and beef and sheep to him according to the booklet.
Breasts, I weighed him the day before yesterday and he has gained almost a pound."
Qingyan had just turned around and told Bailu to go to the kitchen to bring a few bowls of ginger soup, but she didn't expect to hear Prince Chun's voice of joy and gratitude right after.
She was really too busy during the first month of the year. After asking Zhang Tianxi to leave the palace to deliver the nourishing jade with supernatural powers to Prince Chun's residence, she had forgotten about this incident. Now she suddenly heard that
Long Xi's words made him recall the scene of Shang Jia's visit that day, so he also smiled and replied:
"My lord, there is no need to be polite. That warm jade is not of much use to me. I just want to be able to help you."
"Sister-in-law, you can't say this. You have already spent a lot of money. If you sell the large piece of warm jade, it will be worth a lot of money. My servant Fujin has already said that when the weather gets warm, Fulhu
Since Lun's health is better, she will carry him with her second sister-in-law and Chang Quan to the Chuxiu Palace to pay their respects to you."
Long Xi's eyes were shining and he said with great sincerity.
Kangxi, who was sitting in an armchair, felt a little uncomfortable when he saw these two strangers talking and laughing, as if they didn't exist.
He felt that he was obviously still angry. Why did little Hesheli stop continuing the topic after greeting him? Moreover, Longxi acted like a silly roe deer all day long. How could he be better?
If you have learned a lot from him, what can you say to this silly boy? You can't even talk about anything nutritious!
Seeing the eldest palace maid Bai Lu walking in hurriedly with a mahogany tray containing a green glazed porcelain bowl of ginger soup, Kangxi put the little girl down on his knees, rubbed her little crotch and said warmly:
"Yaya, you also go have a bowl of ginger soup."
Xiao Kejing remembered the spicy taste of the ginger soup and didn't want to drink it, but when she saw that the prince brother standing over there was already waving to her, she reluctantly nodded and agreed.
After the little girl left, Kangxi sat up straight in an instant and coughed twice to interrupt Longxi's words, seizing every opportunity to ask the imperial concubine about her experience in educating children. When he saw little Hesheli turning his attention to himself, Kangxi finally
He took the bowl of ginger soup handed to him by Liang Jiugong, lowered his head and took a sip, and said:
"Yan'er, why did you just say that Fu | Shou | ointment is poisonous? This thing has been around a long time ago, and the words "Fu" and "Shou" were the names changed by Wanli."
"Your Majesty, I am not lying. That blessing and longevity ointment is indeed poisonous. Not only that, it can make people addicted easily. If you take too much, you will die."
Seeing Kangxi's frown, Qingyan slightly adapted the tragedy of a family being destroyed due to opium smoking that she had read in a book in her previous life and told it to everyone:
"Before I entered the palace, I often ran around outside. I once sat in a teahouse
While listening to a book, I accidentally heard from a tea guest sitting at the next table that there was a wealthy businessman in the south. When he was in his prime, he hoped that he could live a long and smooth life, so he bought it from foreigners.
He spent a lot of money to buy this longevity ointment, but he never expected that instead of extending his life, he only put the black ointment into a cigarette rod and smoked it a few times, and he became addicted to the smoke.
I couldn't quit anymore. In just a few months, I not only lost all my family property, but also sold my wife, children, and children to other people, and exchanged them for money to buy the blessing | longevity | ointment.
After taking it, it didn't take long for a chubby and wealthy person to become skinny and skinny, and finally died of poverty and illness in the cold winter months."
"Sister-in-law, are you listening to the stories told by others as if they were real people? Why do they sound like the contents of a storybook?"
After hearing Qingyan's words, Long Xi shook his head as if he couldn't believe it.
Although Kangxi did not say a word, the rhythm of turning the jade ring on his hand did not change. It was obvious that he did not believe this.
The young prince, who was sitting next to Concubine Jing with a green glazed porcelain bowl, saw this and was about to say something else. However, he thought about what his aunt said in the yard that his knowledge of opium was too one-sided, and he was afraid of sending wrong information and misleading him again.
Everyone, just shut up and keep silent.
Qingyan saw the expressions of everyone present, and knew that it would be difficult to convince Kangxi and others with her words alone. After all, the reputation of this thing is so good now, even the name
It was given by the previous emperor, and the king of a country advertised it. Who dares to believe that the effect of this blessing | longevity | ointment is actually the "life-stimulating ointment" that is exactly the opposite of its name?
"Besides this story, do you have any other supporting information?"
Kangxi frowned and thought deeply for a while, then looked at Concubine Jing and asked.
Qingyan rubbed her fingers as if trying to remember, then she frowned and said:
"I still vaguely remember that the tea guest said that he was a big businessman from the southern coast. He had been to Siam, India and other places. He said that opium poppies were abundant there, and foreigners would go there to buy a lot of poppy flowers and fruits for use.
To produce longevity paste, opium poppy is the raw material of this expensive paste."
"He himself is in the tobacco business and has acquaintances and friends in India. He said that he had heard from his friends that opium poppies are the most addictive and there are some unscrupulous restaurants.
In order to increase repeat customers, they will deliberately add some young poppy seedlings to their own dishes. This will not only make the food taste more delicious, but also make the diners remember their dishes. This is an addiction.
kind of performance."
"Think about it, if people can't resist food with poppy seedlings added to it, then wouldn't this higher-purity longevity ointment easily make people addicted?"
"But I remember that poppy is not a nourishing medicinal material? Medical books hundreds of years ago recorded that poppy has good curative effect in treating dysentery and other diseases, and the poppy flowers are large and colorful.
It is so beautiful that it was considered a rare and precious flower in the last years of the previous dynasty. How could this kind of plant make people addicted to drugs?"
Kangxi liked to read, and he dabbled in various books on weekdays. Therefore, although he was surprised that little Hershey could name a flower like poppy, he was surprised by the poppy that she mentioned.
The idea that people are addicted is still dubious. After all, many literati in the past praised this flower.
If Qingyan hadn't had the memory of later generations, she might have been thinking the same way as Kangxi. Seeing that it didn't make sense now just in terms of harm, Qingyan simply changed her angle, looked at Longxi and asked:
"My lord, do you know why the merchants in England want to give you longevity ointment?"
Longxi saw that Qingyan suddenly changed the topic to this aspect. Although he didn't understand why, he still explained to her carefully:
"Because they want to do the fortune | longevity | ointment business in our Qing Dynasty, the little emperor's sister-in-law may not know anything about it in the palace all day long, because we people in the Qing Dynasty have always been self-sufficient, if those Western people are not
Those Western items we rely on cannot make any money in the hands of us Qing people."
"They used to make a lot of money by selling glass and ice in the south.
A lot of money, but in recent years, because we have made glass, the emperor specially built a royal ice factory to stabilize the price of ice on the market, which indirectly hindered their way to make a fortune, so they thought
If they start a new business among the people, they should not only send blessings | longevity | ointments to me, but also to the famous dignitaries in the capital, in order to spread this kind of thing among the rich first.
Things create a reputation."
"What?"
Qingyan's eyes widened in shock when she heard this. She really didn't expect those shameless foreigners to dare to plan such a big plan!
When Yinreng heard this, he couldn't sit still at all. He immediately placed the small green-glazed porcelain bowl in his hand heavily on the high-leg round table. Before Qingyan could speak, he huffed.
He stood up from his chair, walked to Kangxi and said urgently:
"Khan Ama, you must not let them sell Fu | Shou | ointment in our Qing Dynasty. You dare to guarantee it with your life. The Fu | Shou | ointment is the opium I once saw in the world of Changsheng Tian!"
"Look, there is still residue on the side of this glass bottle. If you don't believe it, you can ask Dr. Zhang to check it carefully. It is just a drug that will destroy our country and our family.
!”
Yinreng turned around and pointed at the remaining bottle of blessing | longevity | ointment on the huanghuali wood table and said anxiously.
Qingyan also hurriedly stood up from the armchair, walked to her little nephew, and said to Kangxi:
"Your Majesty, I dare to guarantee it with my life. That blessing | longevity | ointment is indeed a first-class bad thing. As the saying goes, 'Those who are not of my race must have different hearts', those foreigners have this feeling flowing in their bones.
The blood of the invaders, and their country
We are not a country of etiquette like ours. People in the world often say, "Destroying a person's wealth is like killing his parents." Foreigners can earn less money from ice and glass here. I will never believe them.
I don’t have any bad intentions at all!”
After listening to the words of the young prince and Concubine Jing, Kangxi was so angry that he slapped the armrest of the armchair and shouted loudly:
"What kind of big deal is this? Is it worthy for you two, one as the crown prince and the other as a noble concubine, to risk your lives as a guarantee like this?"
Seeing that Kangxi was angry, Longxi stood up from his armchair, waved his hands and said:
"Brother Emperor is right, little Emperor Sister-in-law, it won't be a guarantee that it will come true, not at all. Brother Emperor, if you can trust me, why don't you ask me to check it out tomorrow?"
Kangxi nodded with a dark face, glared at the large and small children in front of him who did not cherish their lives, and said:
"Go back to the foreigner and find some more blessings | longevity | ointment, and then go to the prison of the Ministry of Punishments to pick up some death row prisoners to test the medicine, and observe their conditions for a period of time to see what will happen to them, whether they are good or bad.
, everything was recorded clearly for me."
"Yes, I obey the order." Long Xi responded hurriedly and respectfully.
After Kangxi said these words, he stood up from the armchair. Without even looking at Qingyan and Yinreng, he bent down and picked up his little girl and prepared to go back to the Qing Palace to visit her.
When Longxi saw the emperor leaving, he hurriedly bowed to Concubine Jing and left quickly.
Seeing that Kangxi finally started to check his fortune | longevity | ointment, Qingyan and Yinreng couldn't help but look at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Baocheng, why don't you hurry up and chase your Khan Ama?"
Qingyan looked at her little nephew with a smile on his face, patted his shoulder in a funny way and reminded him in a low voice.
Yinreng smiled and nodded. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he remembered the situation in the main hall. He raised his head slightly and looked at the imperial concubine in embarrassment and asked:
"Auntie, where will you sleep tonight?"
Qingyan was stunned. If the little prince hadn't suddenly mentioned this issue, she would have almost forgotten about it. She was about to say that she could just live in the main hall in the backyard.
Xiaosi suddenly ran over and took Concubine Jing's hand, happily raised her little head and said coquettishly:
"E Niang, will you sleep with me tonight? I haven't slept with E Niang for a long time."
Qingyan thought about sharing a bed with her son, and was about to nod in agreement.
Unexpectedly, Liang Jiugong, who had followed Kangxi out, came back with a smile, leaned over and saluted:
"Your Majesty, your Majesty just said
There will be no one in the main hall tonight, so I want you to go back to Qianqing Palace with the prince to settle down. The emperor has already turned your tables tonight."
Qingyan couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, thinking: "...Oh, men are so pretentious! Didn't you look at her just now?"
Xiao Si beat his thigh in annoyance and cursed in his heart: "... As expected, Khan Ama is the most annoying person. He always likes to fight against me. I really can't have him anymore!"
The next day, after Qingyan and Kangxi came back from Qianqing Palace refreshed and refreshed after fighting for 300 rounds on the bed, they started to greet the palace people with great energy to clean the main hall inside and outside, and remove some easily smoked items. All the cotton items, such as tablecloths, cushions on the soft couch, and carpets, were directly burned by the palace officials and replaced with new ones.
At the same time, Kangxi, who seemed to have been nourished by Concubine Jing, but who was also in a good mood, laughed completely when he saw Prince Yu Fuquan standing in the imperial study with red eyes and heartbroken. Won't come out.
