"Your Majesty, is there something I didn't write clearly?"
Liang Jiugong, who was standing next to the emperor's case and slightly bowed to sort out the folders that Kangxi had approved, saw that the emperor had been looking at him with an incomprehensible expression since he opened the blue-sealed folders he had written, and he couldn't help but asked in a low voice in confusion.
He was extremely confused. He thought that he was considerate enough. As long as he was an official's daughter with a good background, he would write it down. He was sure not to miss any noble lady in the capital who met the standards. Moreover, his handwriting was clear and the words were clear.
Neatly, the noble ladies are arranged in descending order of age. There is no reason why the emperor can’t understand?
Kangxi looked at this dog slave and didn't realize at all that he had actually increased his workload unintentionally. He looked away from Liang Jiugong in a heartbroken way and said softly:
"Go and get some more candles. I think the light here is a little dark."
"Yes, I will go right away."
When Liang Jiugong heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He mistakenly thought that the emperor was dissatisfied with the lack of light and hurt his eyes. He hurriedly smiled and went to the side room next door to get a few candles, lit them one by one and placed them on the tall lotus candle holder.
.
When the golden candlelight swayed, the door of the imperial study room instantly became much brighter.
With the thought of "having worked hard for him, his son, grandson and granddaughter will be happy", Kangxi resignedly raised his hand and wiped his face, then lowered his head and began to read sentence by sentence what his confidant eunuch had recorded.
Those written at the front are all noble ladies who are over ten years old.
Ergenjueluo Wanning, the ten-year-old eldest daughter of Keer Kun, the Minister of Household Affairs, was ranked very high on the list. However, Kangxi saw that the name of the little girl was marked in block letters with "Gentle as water, quiet and elegant".
Kangxi couldn't help but be happy, thinking that this little girl was just like his straightforward temperament, and the carefree Baoqing was the two extremes. He raised the corner of his mouth, turned the ink pen in his right hand, and a red word appeared on the little girl's name.
of check mark.
Then he saw Guarjia Li'an (Shi's family), the eldest daughter of the third uncle Shi Wenbing, the commander of the Han army at Zhengbai Banner, who was already seven years old this year. The information said: "She is filial to her grandparents, and she is opposite to her filial grandparents."
You love your brothers and sisters, and you can speak Manchu, Mongolian, and Chinese at a young age. You can also dabble in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and literature and history. I can't help but feel emotional, and I feel that the Guarjia family deserves to be a prominent Manchu family.
Ah, the tutor is very good. After thinking for a few moments, he used a red pen to draw the three-hatch symbol under Guarga's name.
Recalling in his mind his experience in selecting the best sons-in-law in the training camp for prospective concubines, Kangxi became more and more serious about it, and was bound to bring all the outstanding young men to their Aisin Gioro home to be their wives.
After all the little girls over five years old had finished reading, Kangxi continued to move his eyes downwards and saw Hesheli Xiangqian, the niece of Queen Hesheli, the sister of Lunbu's mother, and Pengchun, the general of Dutong.
Dong'e Huayan, the eldest daughter, is four years old this year. The former has a cheerful and lively temperament, while the latter has a pretty face and is very iconic. With a wave of his hand, they were selected.
…
The candle wicks placed on the copper lotus candlestick were cut and cut again and again by Liang Jiugong with small scissors, one after another. After about two hours, Liang Jiugong felt a little sleepy while waiting, and there was a sudden sound in his ears.
The emperor's voice came.
"Liang Jiugong, after careful consideration and careful selection, I have finally selected fifteen officials and daughters. Tomorrow you will write down all the names I have circled. In the afternoon, take time to leave the palace and announce it to each government.
The imperial edict is to let these little girls learn the rules of the palace from their elders at home, and when the fifth school in Beijing starts in September, all of them will be allowed to study in the palace."
"Yes, I have remembered this."
When Liang Jiugong heard this, he hurriedly shook his head to drive away all the sleepy things in his mind. Then he respectfully stretched out his hands to take the fold, took it in his hand, opened it and took a look, and found that everything the emperor had circled
She was a noble girl over three years old, so she stuffed the fold into her arms.
"Unexpectedly, there are quite a lot of daughters among these ministers."
Kangxi stood up from his armchair, clenched his right hand into a fist behind his back and beat his waist, while blinking his sour eyes and said.
After Liang Jiugong saw his actions, he smiled and said:
"It's getting late, Your Majesty. Why don't I serve you?" Take a bath and go to bed.
"Well, let's go and drive to Chuxiu Palace."
Before Kangxi could wait for Liang Jiugong to finish speaking, he moved his waist left and right, turned his stiff neck and walked down the three steps.
Liang Jiugong, who was still standing by the Imperial Case, couldn't hold back the smile when he heard this. He turned his head and glanced at the chiming clock in the corner. In a quarter of an hour, it would be the end of Haishi. He deeply felt that Concubine Jing Gui should be there at this time.
I don’t want to see the emperor. If the emperor goes over at this time, he will delay the imperial concubine’s beauty sleep...
Kangxi didn't know the tangled thoughts in the heart of his confidant eunuch, but he was indeed a little too excited tonight. He had a lot to say to little Heshel, and when the mood was reached, he went on his way.
About two-quarters of an hour later, the closed door of Chuxiu Palace opened and closed, and the dim inner room became brighter and darker...
Time flies by so fast. In a blink of an eye, the big pomegranates on the pomegranate tree in the front yard of Chuxiu Palace turn red. The days have entered mid-September. In the past month, Tong Guiren, who has recovered his health, has been almost every day.
He ran to Shoukang Palace to visit his son. Xiaoliu also figured out that the aunt who lived in the backyard of Chengqian Palace was actually his biological mother. She was accompanied by her eldest sister, fourth baby brother, fourth sister and fifth baby brother, and
Mother Huang fed her four or five times a day, and Xiao Yinzhuo gained weight. There were a lot more milk all over his body, and he became more courageous. I saw that Xiao Liu finally adapted to the life in Shoukang Palace.
Seeing this, Xiaosi felt relieved, packed up his things, and moved back to Chuxiu Palace with the palace attendants who were waiting for him.
On September 18th, the day after Xiaosi moved back to Chuxiu Palace, the autumn rain started falling non-stop from early in the morning. The entire Forbidden City became wet. The outdoor martial arts of the little prince and the elder brother
Classes were also forced to stop.
At the beginning of noon, the two brothers came to Chuxiu Palace to have a meal together under oil-paper umbrellas. It happened that Yinzhi and Changquan were both taken back to Chuxiu Palace by the fourth child after school. Qingyan saw so many people, so she simply
With a wave of his hand, the small kitchen made a table of steaming hot dishes for the little boys to have a dinner together.
At the end of noon, the light rain outside the window turned into heavy rain, crackling on the golden glazed tiles overhead.
The imperial concubine was sitting on a carved chair, holding a serving spoon and chopsticks from time to time to pick up some of their favorite dishes for a few young boys. Thinking of the freshmen who had enrolled half a month ago, she couldn't help but look at the young boys who were eating with their heads down.
The three brothers Yinti, Yinreng and Yinzhi looked back and forth.
Although she couldn't remember all the Kowloon Fortunes, she still knew the most famous ones.
It can be said that the great blessing Jin Ergenjueluo family is the epitome of a feudal woman who "takes her husband as her heaven". In order to give birth to her eldest brother's eldest son, she worked hard to give birth to children, and gave birth to four golden flowers one after another.
After flowering, she finally gave birth as she wished
She had a little brother, but due to the continuous childbirth, her health was too serious. The little brother passed away not long after he was born. After the eldest brother Yinti failed to seize the legitimate son and was imprisoned by Kangxi, there were no more four golden flowers.
What a bad end you will end up with.
Like Yinreng, she was the only publicly registered crown prince of the Qing Dynasty, Guarjia. She accompanied the prince Yinreng throughout his life, and had only one legitimate daughter in his life. After Yinreng was abolished by Kangxi,
, she also learned from the noble
The crown princess became the second Fujin, and died of illness in the remote and dilapidated Xian'an Palace. Her daughter was also married to Mongolia early. Without the protection of Amma and E Niang, her young soul Jiu withered forever in the vast prairie.
superior.
They had the same surname as Emperor Shunzhi's Empress Xiaoxian, and they gave birth to two sons and two daughters, forming two couples of the Dong E family of Sanfu Jin Dynasty.
The third elder brother Yinzhi, who was demoted again and again, was imprisoned in Jingling.
Wives depend on their husbands. After Yong Prince Yinzhen succeeded in seizing the legitimate son, the Sifujin Ulanala clan became the queen. Although she became the one with the best outcome among her sisters-in-law, her only legitimate son died early.
There was the favored Li family from Fujin, and later there was the Nian family who was said to be the true love of the emperor. She had to say that she was aggrieved all her life.
There is also the Guo Luoluo clan of the Eight Blessed Jin Dynasties who was scolded by Emperor Kangxi as a "jealous wife" during his lifetime, and his ashes were crushed by Emperor Yongzheng after his death. This caused a lot of controversy in later generations.
The cold and bloody ending of history collided with the lively little girls she saw with her own eyes. Qingyan couldn't help but slightly clenched her right hand and knocked on the huanghuali wood table. Several little boys heard the sound and raised their heads to look.
To the imperial concubine.
The little prince sitting next to Concubine Jing's left hand also quickly swallowed the rice in his mouth, turned his head to look at Concubine Jing in confusion and asked: "Auntie, what's wrong with you?"
Qingyan turned her face and glanced at her little nephew, and saw that several other people were also confused. She simply pushed the white porcelain bowl in front of her with her left hand and said warmly:
"I'm thinking, it's not easy to be a direct descendant of the royal family. When you get married in the future, remember to treat your direct descendants well. They will bear children for you, take care of the household, deal with all kinds of outside relationships, and
You are on official business abroad, and the hard work you put into handling court affairs is
In the same way, you must have some conscience and give a lot of respect and care. Don't imitate Longkodo who spoiled his concubine, killed his wife and was cut off by his concubine. Let your Khan Ama choose from thousands of choices to make a decision for you.
My direct descendant, Fujin, was heartbroken, and the backyard was in a mess."
When the boys heard Concubine Jing's words, they couldn't help but feel a pain in their bodies, and the door was a little messy in the wind.
The little prince's mouth opened and closed, not knowing what to say. How old are they now? Why did their aunt suddenly talk about their future wife-in-law? But looking at Concubine Jing's serious face, they
The brothers all nodded obediently as if they understood.
Xiaosi, who was sitting next to Concubine Jing's right hand, knew that there were many beautiful sisters coming to the North Fifth House. He quickly finished the sweet and sour pork ribs in his mouth, and then spit the bones on a small plate beside him.
With a greasy mouth, he couldn't wait to turn his head and ask:
"Eniang, Eniang, are you going to find Fujin for me and my brother Prince?"
When Qingyan heard this, she remembered that on August 17, when she had fallen asleep, Kangxi suddenly came to her in the middle of the night like having a convulsion, and talked to her a lot about everything, and even complained about what he said.
How "dissatisfied" Liang Jiugong was, even though he had clearly been told that he only needed to
The little girls over three years old were selected, and the concubines were clearly marked. The slave did not feel tired to collect a lot of information, and even recorded the daughters of Ulanara Feyangu who had just turned one month old.
The book was published, which made him busy in the imperial study room for a long time...
At this moment, looking at Xiaosi's clever little look with his eyes rolling around, it was obvious that he had already guessed that the future of their brothers, Fujin, was likely to be chosen among the first batch of girls sent to the North Fifth School to study.
The little prince also looked thoughtful.
She felt a little embarrassed for a moment, wondering why she couldn't calm down her emotions. In order to end the topic, she directly reached out and rubbed her son's curly hair, ruthlessly shattering Xiaosi's dream.
"Xiaosi, you think too much. Your mother has no time to find Fujin for you and the prince's brother. Your wife must still be held by her mother in her arms, drinking milk and sleeping."
Hearing this, Xiaosi's eyes widened in confusion. For a moment, he couldn't understand what his mother said. Did it mean that he had a wife or that he didn't have a wife?
Chang Quan reached out and picked up a cut red pomegranate from the fruit plate in front of him and placed it in front of Xiao Si, signaling Xiao Si to eat more fruit and stop talking.
When the three brothers Yinti, Yinreng and Yinzhi saw Xiaosi's stupid look, they couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Just at this moment, a series of huge noises suddenly sounded at the door of the side hall.
Everyone looked around and saw Liang Jiugong, who was holding a bright yellow imperial edict, panicking and walking in hastily.
"This slave is for the noble concubine, Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Liang Jiugong, carrying the hem of his robe that was soaked by the rain, entered the side hall and saw so many people sitting at the dining table, so he hurriedly leaned over and saluted.
"Eunuch Liang, please get up. Is there something urgent for you?"
When Qingyan saw the imperial edict in Liang Jiugong's arms, she quickly stood up from the chair with several children and walked to Liang Jiugong in a few steps.
Liang Jiugong glanced at the little prince who was also confused and confused about his situation. He couldn't help but sigh deeply in his heart. Then he respectfully raised his hands holding the imperial edict forward, lowered his head, and said in a hurried tone:
"Returning to your concubine, the emperor has just received news that Lord Gabra outside the palace is not well. The emperor specially issued an imperial edict to give each of the two young daughters of Duke Chengen a happy marriage.
Let this servant come here to call His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Fourth Prince to leave the palace and go to Hesheli Mansion."
When Yinreng heard this, his pupils shrank suddenly and his head buzzed. What? His grandfather is going to be bad?
Qingyan was also shocked. She knew that her uncle had not been in good health in the past few years, but she never thought that it would happen so suddenly. If she remembered correctly, wasn't today his fiftieth birthday?
Kangxi chose to grant the marriage at this time, didn't he clearly say that the uncle had no cure and could only rely on happy events to make a difference?
"Aunt?"
This was the first time for the seven-year-old prince to experience the death of an elder close to him. He immediately panicked and didn't know what to do. Tears welled up in his eyes. He raised his hand and held it tightly.
