After thinking about it, Kangxi asked Liang Jiugong to dig out the gift list from Jiubele Mansion and show it to Concubine Yi.
"Look, what did this bastard do yesterday..."
Listening to his tone, Concubine Yi didn't seem annoyed. She took the gift list and said with a smile: "What else can there be? It is designated that there will be no less gold..."
Seeing the various gold objects above, Concubine Yi couldn't help but smile.
Seeing the birthday gifts for the last few children, she stopped smiling and said: "This... shows his filial piety, even the little brother brought it..."
Kangxi glanced at her and said, "What's wrong with being filial? Only when children are young can they learn about filial piety when they are taught by adults."
He taught the princes this way since they were young.
The so-called teaching by words and deeds is nothing more than this.
Concubine Yi didn't say anything else. She was just worried and said: "He just comes out as soon as he thinks about it, but others have to think too much."
Kangxi said disapprovingly: "As long as I am here, others can do whatever they want."
Seeing this, Concubine Yi said: "Your Majesty, just let him get used to him. He is becoming more and more childish. I don't know when he will become sensible again."
Kangxi smiled.
As the prince's elder brother, he should act as he pleases like the ninth elder brother, and it's shameful to be so busy.
Concubine Yi's eyes fell on the words "second son of Baylor Mansion".
She somewhat understood Brother Jiu's intention.
That's not stupid and generous.
It's just that he has always been generous, and the emperor didn't think of anything else, so he was so happy.
If the emperor allows it, he will pay it back. If not, I wonder if the couple will blame the Wubeile Mansion.
For a moment, Concubine Yifei was in a complicated mood.
Among the brothers, she had to worry about whether the ninth elder brother would anger the fifth elder brother. What about the other princes?
After knowing the inside story, will he really not anger Wubeile Mansion?
Even if the princes don't care, what about Prince Fujin?
Concubine Yi didn't say much, put down the gift list, and mentioned the new materials brought back by the Holy Emperor from his southern tour.
"It feels like silk, but it turns out it's made of cashmere mixed with real silk. This material makes it look great when worn in summer..."
This is the new silk cashmere from Jiangning Weaving House. It is very thin, just like ordinary cloth, and has a good luster.
There were only eight tributes in total, and one of them, the apricot pollen, was given to Yikun Palace by Kangxi.
Kangxi nodded and said: "Cao Yin is indeed capable..."
He hesitated when he thought that his eighteenth brother would enter the study at the age of six next year.
How old is Cao Yong, son of Cao Yin?
It seems like twelve or three.
In the early years, when the fifteenth elder brother chose to study with him, Cao Yong was of the right age and gave the Cao family grace, but Cao Yin recommended his nephew Cao Qi.
Cao Yong donated the prison student to Cao Yin, and Cao Yin wanted to keep him by his side to teach him, and then send him to the capital to study and work as an errand when he matured.
That’s all.
It is difficult to raise an only child.
Cao Yin only had this one young man under his knees, so he was the most precious one and kept it under his nose.
Kangxi loved Wujiwu, and thinking of Cao Yin's daughter, he said to Concubine Yi: "Go back to the princess' house and ask a few more questions. Don't let others bully her."
The imperial daughter's companion was either a eldest daughter or a noble daughter. Cao Yin's daughter had the lowest status among them.
Concubine Yi nodded and said, "Well, I'll go back to Ningshou Palace and inquire about my concubine. Don't worry, the empress is here, and sister Minbin is here."
Cao Gege is a companion reading of Fifteen Gege.
Fifteen Gege is not an ordinary concubine little princess. She has her biological mother, as well as her brothers and sisters from the same mother.
Kangxi's eyes fell on the gift list and said: "I plan to let the 12th prince and the 13th prince leave the palace after the Mid-Autumn Festival. By then, the first and fifth houses will be sorted out."
After hearing this, Concubine Yi said: "I beg you for a favor. When the time comes, let Xiao Shiba live in the fifth house, next to the seventeenth brother. It will be convenient for the two brothers to get close."
Kangxi nodded and said: "Okay, leave that place to Fengsheng and Akdan..."
Concubine Yi: "..."
She thought for a moment and then said: "What does the emperor mean by letting their brothers enter school in the 18th year?"
Kangxi said: "Well, no matter how good the child is, he still has to be taught. Let Lao Jiu teach the child. I don't worry. Dong E has some talent, but she is a woman after all."
Previously, Dong E's family was setting up an elementary school in the mansion, and Kangxi was still very curious about it.
When he found out what the children had learned in class, he couldn't sit still.
Only learn six words a day.
Other times, all kinds of fun.
This quiet child was kidnapped and became naughty.
Where can I teach my children like this?!
It’s okay for little Princess to just find someone to play with. If the emperor and grandson teach her like this, what if she doesn’t like reading anymore like the ninth elder brother?
Kangxi originally wanted to let the Fengsheng brothers enter school one year later and study with the younger brother of the Prince of Dunjun, but Kangxi changed his mind.
Forget it.
Put it in the study room early and study according to the rules to avoid children learning incorrectly.
The eighteenth elder brother is young, but he is easy to deal with.
When the time comes, the uncle and nephew will be with each other, and they will be more friendly from now on.
Concubine Yi did not comment, but said: "Then the emperor should tell Lao Jiu earlier, so as not to be short of manpower to bring back to the palace."
Kangxi said: "Well, I will tell him after the Wanshou Festival."
Neither the emperor nor the concubine mentioned that it was the emperor and his grandson who entered the Jiubele Mansion...
After lunch, Kangxi remembered that Concubine Rong wanted to move Zhongcui Palace from Qixiang Palace, and there was hesitation on his face.
Yifei drank barley tea without talking too much.
The only person who can make things difficult for the emperor is the prince.
When it comes to the prince, concubines like them are not the ones who can intervene.
Kangxi hesitated for a moment, but still did not ask.
If he is embarrassed, he will embarrass others by asking.
It is good that Concubine Yi and her son will not get involved in disputes.
Then don't let other people's resentment fall on their mother and son.
*
In Yuqing Palace, the prince also learned the news that the Zhongcui Palace had been repaired.
Today is the day before Wanshou Festival.
If Concubine Rong moves back to Zhongcui Palace, will there be any grace?
The prince's eyes were a little gloomy.
In the early days, the courtiers only knew the prince and the eldest son of the emperor, but in recent years, they only remembered the third elder brother.
What the third elder brother lacks now is the principle of "a son is as precious as his mother".
The concubine's demotion seems to have little impact on Third Prince, an adult prince, but some people are talking about it.
If Concubine Rong is reinstated, the shortcomings of Third Prince will disappear.
After waiting for half a day, there was no news of Concubine Rong's restoration, only that Concubine Yi was accompanied by Concubine Qianqing.
The prince was a little surprised, but he didn't think it was that surprising.
The prince sneered.
Is there no such grace before Longevity Festival?
Then what name will the emperor use to restore Concubine Rong?
*
Brother Jiu didn't know that the grace he had been thinking about would be received soon with the generous longevity gift.
The next day is the Wanshou Festival.
At the fifth watch, the banging sound rang, and Shu Shu and Brother Jiu woke up.
Because there was an imperial edict long ago, there is no need for congratulations and banquets today, but family gifts are unavoidable.
The princes should enter the palace early to celebrate their birthdays.
As for Shu Shu's daughters-in-law, they skipped this step.
Brother Jiu was wearing court clothes and looking at the imperial crown.
Baylor's crown has three layers, with a golden dragon on it and seven eastern beads inlaid on it.
Brother Jiu looked at Dongzhu with disgust, and said to Shu Shu: "When our pearls are raised, we will leave the biggest one for you to inlaid with pearl flowers..."
Shu Shu said: "When the time comes, I will wear a pearl court bead for me. It is not as precious as the Dongzhu. It will definitely look more precious than the Dongzhu."
Brother Jiu shook his head and said: "It's too ostentatious. When the time comes to honor Khan Ama and the imperial grandmother, we don't have to do that. Otherwise, the censor will listen to the wind and say we are overstepping."
Chao pearls are rarely used because they are easily confused with east pearls.
Dongzhu's court beads can only be used with the permission of the emperor and empress.
Shu Shu said: "Listen to me."
After a simple bowl of plain noodles, Brother Jiu left Baylor House.
The tenth prince, also wearing court clothes, was already standing in front of the carriage.
"Get in the car..."
Brother Jiu greeted them, and the two brothers got into the carriage.
"Uncle Wang has said that he cannot enter the palace. I wonder if Uncle Wang will enter the palace?"
Brother Jiu said casually.
The 10th Prince thought for a while and said, "I think he will enter the palace. After all, this is not an ordinary Longevity Festival."
When the two brothers entered the palace, the lights in front of Qianqing Palace were brightly lit.
Many royal families have already arrived.
There is no need for congratulations today, but the princes, princes, ministers, bachelors and bodyguards will all come to congratulate you.
The twelfth elder brother is already here. Come and talk to the ninth elder brother.
"Brother Ninth wanted to ask about the Royal Village in Tongzhou. There happens to be a vacant place, which is next to the cashmere woolen shop at the canal wharf and is closest to the Xianghe River..."
The ninth elder brother had been to the cashmere woolen farm, and after hearing what the twelfth elder brother said, he had an impression, and said: "That's good, it's next to the river, and the water is convenient..."
The twelfth elder brother said: "The ninth brother has been thinking about it for several years, and finally we have to start planning. The construction department happens to be idle. If we work in two shifts, the pot-making workshop can be built before the Dragon Boat Festival."
The Construction Department happens to be in charge of the twelfth elder brother.
Brother Jiu said: "Earlier, when I reported to Khan Amma, I said that it would be hanged in the Lifan Court, but in the end, I still couldn't leave the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I had to report it to Khan Amma before I opened my mouth..."
At this point, he lowered his voice and said: "The same goes for your errands in the future. Remember to report more to avoid making mistakes. We are just errands. We let people who can make decisions make decisions. We don't have to do it ourselves...
…”
You are already on duty, so why are you trying to win over someone else?
The greater the power, the greater the responsibility. You must think about protecting yourself and don't let yourself suffer...
