Chapter 144: Secret Joy (Second update, please vote for me)
Concubine Yizhi has one internal affairs officer under her name, and the queen mother also has four internal officers under her name.
No one will "give authority" to their masters for no reason.
Shu Shu had no intention of admonishing Brother Jiu.
She was ordered to take care of the Queen Mother's diet, and she was not on a pole to flatter her, so why should she swallow her anger to the Queen Mother's minions?
Who knows if this is a test by the Ministry of Internal Affairs?
If the couple is worried about this or that and tolerates it this time, what about the next time?
Back to her carriage, Shu Shu felt that the air was fresh.
Concubine Yi is not an evil mother-in-law, but she is still a mother-in-law.
Brother Jiu couldn't wait for a moment, so he got on his horse and headed to where the Holy Driver was...
While driving, Kangxi was talking to the Minister of Lifanyuan about the visit of the prince of Aohan to the court.
The Aohan tribe is not powerful among the sixteen tribes of Monan Mongolia, and is even considered relatively small.
One department and one flag.
However, the Aohan tribe was the first Mongolian tribe to marry into Manchuria, earlier than the Horqin tribe, and had accompanied Emperor Taizu to conquer Manchuria.
Princess Hada, the third daughter of Taizu, remarried to the Aohan tribe during her second marriage that year.
The princess has two daughters, the eldest daughter is Prince Xu Lilie's eldest son Yue Tuan, and the second daughter is married to Taizong's eldest son Hauge.
Later, when Taizong ascended the throne, Princess Hada conspired to rebel and was executed. Her two daughters were also implicated and died.
However, Emperor Taizong did not anger the Aohan tribe, and was invited by the Aohan tribe to marry his eldest daughter into the Aohan tribe. Therefore, the princess was called Princess Aohan.
Most of the current princes of the Aohan tribe are descendants of Princess Aohan. Among them, the flag lord is the grandson of Princess Aohan, and is said to be Kangxi's cousin.
During the Shunzhi and Kangxi dynasties, the imperial court successively appointed many clan daughters to marry into the Aohan tribe.
However, because the Aohan tribe was too small, with only one banner and five thousand Dingkou, Kangxi never came to the Aohan tribe during his northern tours in these years.
During this northern tour, Kangxi specially added the Aohan tribe.
The highest title given to the eldest daughter of the Aohan tribe is just that of a princess. She cannot compete with the princess, and she does not need to be given anything.
"Arrange officials from the Ministry of Etiquette to prepare sacrifices for the princess and her husband..."
Kangxi ordered.
The Minister of Rites bowed his head and responded.
Kangxi heard Liang Jiugong reporting outside the car: "Your Majesty, Master Jiu is here, asking to see the Emperor..."
Kangxi was surprised.
This son was like a cat and mouse, and when he saw this Khan, Ama wanted to take a detour.
Look at that hopeless look, as if no one cares about him.
When did it get better?
After the wedding?
Or after getting sick?
Now I have come to my door twice, and I am getting bolder and bolder.
Yesterday, I was caught talking nonsense, and I was talking about random things.
"Let him get in!"
Kangxi thought of yesterday and felt that he still had unfinished business, which was to scold Brother Jiu.
My mother raised him for more than ten years in vain?
Is it good for my father-in-law to give him two horses? Is it better than marrying Ama?
Unfilial son!
The Minister of Rites had already stood up to leave, and Kangxi nodded.
When the Minister of Rites got out of the car, he faced Brother Jiu and bowed to say hello.
Brother Jiu had already got on the carriage and said directly: "Khan Ama, you have to make the decision for the Dong E family. There is no such thing as bullying..."
Kangxi swallowed his scolding words and frowned: "What's going on?"
Brother Jiu gritted his teeth and told what he saw and heard when he accompanied Shu Shu to the dining room this morning.
"For half an hour, those servants just let Dong E stand... Dong E couldn't see anything, and his son couldn't see anything? The people in the palace were so blind, when had they ever been so cold... and so did my son.
Afraid of unjustly accusing them, I asked the eunuch who brought the meal to the concubine, and he made it clear that there was a seat... The eunuchs next to the concubine could all grab seats when they passed by, but my daughter-in-law Fu Jin only had to stand when she passed by?
They followed Khan Amma's instructions and prepared food for the Queen Mother... What do they mean? They hated their son for exposing the corruption in the palace before, and they didn't dare to retaliate against his son, so they bullied his son Fujin..."
Brother Jiu became more and more angry as he talked, and his eyes were red with anger.
He remembered what Shu Shu had said before about being timid and afraid of getting into trouble. He had vowed to protect her and not let her be bullied, but he bullied her without even seeing her.
Kangxi's face was as dark as frost, but he did not just believe Brother Jiu's words. He said to Liang Jiugong: "Go and ask the eunuch who brought the meal, whether there was a seat for last night's dinner and today's breakfast..."
Liang Jiugong bowed and left.
Brother Ninth Brother was still angry: "Khan Ama, what do they want to do? Are they just relying on the fact that they are in charge of the people in the name of the Queen Mother, so they have a strong back..."
Kangxi did not answer, but said: "How is Dong E's family?"
Brother Jiu was about to speak but hesitated, feeling a little entangled.
"Are you tired?"
Kangxi's eyes darkened, and then he asked.
Brother Jiu quickly shook his head: "No, it's not that she went to the stove...it was just that the dining room was hot. She was standing and waiting, sweating a lot, and came out to see the wind, and there were some signs of paralysis...My son was going to the imperial doctor last night, and she
He refused to let me go, so I asked the girl to press it this morning, and everything was fine... It's just that my son thought that after waiting for a few days, he still has to call the imperial doctor to take a look..."
Kangxi's expression softened slightly.
He originally thought that the unfilial son was going to take advantage of the situation and pull Dong E away from his job.
As a son and a grandson, if you don't even care about filial piety, then this son will be useless.
On the other hand, Dong E's side...
"The Taiyuan Hospital has a prescription for paralysis. You can send someone over later to get some plasters..."
Kangxi thought for a while and said: "Let you Fujin hold on for a few more days. After Horqin is over, it will be fine..."
Brother Ninth nodded, but thinking about Shu Shu's hard work today, he couldn't help but said: "Khan Ama, the Queen Mother, I'm afraid she would rather have Sister-in-law Five with her... and Brother Five, my son Fujin will be with you."
Queen Mother, it’s hard for him to go forward. If he pushes his son Fujin ahead, will it embarrass fifth brother and fifth sister-in-law..."
Kangxi had never thought of this before, but after hearing what Brother Jiu said, it seemed to make some sense.
Before, it was the fifth elder brother who took care of the Queen Mother's carriage along the way.
It is very inconvenient for the eldest brother and his sister-in-law, who are about the same age, to look up but not look down.
At this time, Liang Jiugong came back, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, it was Chen Zhong who went to bring the meal this morning. When we got there, the kitchen steward personally moved the stools, and he also moved them last night..."
Brother Jiu immediately exploded: "Okay, you are really a good slave, just wait and see! The second-class eunuch of the Qianqing Palace is more honorable than the prince Fujin. What's the truth? I'm going to ask who it is. Who is the master behind the instigation, so that they don’t even pay attention to the prince Fujin..."
Kangxi scolded with a dark face: "That's it! You're so frizzy! I broke the rules and I'm going to be punished, but you, the master, are going to mess with me?"
Brother Jiu pursed his lips, still angry.
Kangxi waved his hand and said: "Go down to Dong E's place. You don't have to go to the dining room to keep an eye on it... Just put some thought into thinking about new ways to eat. It's filial piety to let the Queen Mother eat a few more bites..."
Brother Jiu nodded and got out of the carriage quietly.
Kangxi looked at Liang Jiugong and said, "Am I too tolerant of these servants from the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"
Liang Jiugong did not answer immediately, but looked at the door of the carriage, then lowered his voice and said: "The emperor was lenient to them in the early years, but there was nothing he could do about it... How many people are needed in and outside the palace? It is better to wrap slaves than others. ... But once they have the power, they may be emboldened and forget that the Forbidden City is the Emperor's Forbidden City, not the wrapped Forbidden City..."
Seeing his cautious look, Kangxi turned cold and glared at him: "Okay, are you done with one or two times?"
Liang Jiugong immediately knelt down and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. It's my servant's fault. I was petty... When I was a young eunuch, I was often made things difficult by these undercover stewards. Half of my monthly salary was also deducted. Once I refused to accept it. He said a few words and was kicked hard..."
Kangxi looked at him and said calmly: "Get up, there is no next time..."
Shu Shu returned to her carriage and lay down.
I woke up early this morning and didn't rest all morning, so now my head feels heavy.
Xiaosong saw this and hurriedly followed the car: "Fujin, I will press the button for you..."
"Um!"
Shu Shu responded: "No need to press the neck, this time press the waist..."
The carriage was moving very slowly today.
I heard that in addition to Wufujin, there are other Gongjuan motion sickness.
But sitting in front of my mother-in-law for several hours is also tiring.
Xiaosong hesitated and didn't make a move for a while.
Shu Shu turned her head and looked at her: "Why don't you take action?"
"Fu Jin, as grandma told me before she came out, don't touch Fujin's waist..."
Xiaosong said seriously: "Mommy said, we have to be careful not to let the little brother get up..."
Shu Shu couldn't help but laugh: "Mommy is really worried, how can I have a little brother... Forget it, just press the shoulder..."
Xiaosong happily agreed and started pressing it.
Shu Shu lay on her stomach with her eyes closed, thinking of the words "little brother", she felt quite strange.
Newlyweds must stay in London.
Along the way, we got closer to each other when it was convenient.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the oil is mixed with honey.
There is no contraception.
There are no signs of pregnancy.
This feeling of not being controlled and resigned to fate is not a good one.
She didn't want any accidents to happen, she already had a big belly at a young age.
For others, it is a dream.
For Shu Shu, it was impossible to avoid it.
How can we train the ninth prince to only cover himself with quilts and chat and not move his hands or feet?
It seems quite difficult.
Shu Shu was thinking wildly.
Brother Ninth is back, looking very angry.
Xiaosong was scolded several times and became more timid and hurriedly stepped aside.
Brother Jiu waved his hand and sent her away, then hugged Shu Shu.
Shu Shu turned around and saw that he was covering his mouth and laughing, obviously not wanting to be known.
"What is it that makes me so happy?"
Seeing this, Shu Shu also lowered her voice.
Didn't you file a complaint?
Is this a success and the results are significant?
Brother Ninth pursed his lips and raised his eyebrows, his face full of pride: "Khan Ama said, just go to Horqin and prepare the menu in the dining room. You don't need to go there... I don't need you to accompany the Queen Mother. Let Fifth Sister-in-law
go……"
Shu Shu hugged Brother Jiu and sincerely praised: "You are so capable, thank you..."
There are only about ten days left to travel to Horqin.
It’s much better than having Shushu to look after you all the way there.
Are you so happy for this?
Brother Jiu had already put his chin on Shu Shu's shoulder and whispered: "I found out that Khan Ama is not that scary... If there is something wrong and you want to lie, it shouldn't be difficult to get over...
