Concubine Yi took the fruit plate and sighed inwardly.
She remembered an old saying that was not very respectful, that is, if you come into the house, you can do anything.
Isn't the Emperor too diligent in reading the signs here these days?
The young and tender concubine is just for decoration?
She couldn't help but glance at the emperor's waist. Was it because he wanted to look good that he came to chat with her?
She couldn't help but complain in her heart.
Perhaps, this is the meaning of "mother is more valuable than daughter"?
Maybe it was for others to see, so that others would not think she had fallen out of favor?
I always feel like life has been going too smoothly lately, and I feel like I'm getting stuck.
Kangxi noticed Concubine Yi's wanton gaze and looked over.
Concubine Yi smiled, and her voice was sweet, and said: "The watermelon I cut this afternoon was sweeter than the others, so I kept most of it, thinking that I would send someone to deliver it to you tomorrow to try it...
…”
The watermelon in the fruit plate has been cut into triangular pieces, but the watermelon rind is still there, but all the watermelon seeds have been removed.
Kangxi was satisfied when he saw this.
He likes to eat watermelon by holding it instead of using a fork.
Kangxi ate two horns of watermelon, and Concubine Yi followed suit and ate a corner.
Kangxi's eyes fell on the ground, and there were two wooden horses, one big and one small.
Yi Fei smiled and said: "The two brothers are just having fun. Xiao Shiqi likes his younger brother. Concubine, I don't have to worry about it. Let the two brothers play by themselves and they can spend a long time in the lake..."
Kangxi wiped his hands, there seemed to be hesitation on his face.
Yifei knew that this was getting to the point.
What's the main topic?
Yifei was thinking, her eyes also fell on the wooden horse, and she couldn't help but feel a little worried...
Xiao Qi...
Yifei withdrew her gaze, grabbed a few pumpkin seeds, peeled them, and put them in a three-inch plate.
Kangxi glanced at her and saw that she was concentrating on peeling melon seeds and said: "Eat less this in summer, it's oily and dry..."
Yifei put down the melon seeds and said, "I'm sorry to hear you say it. I've been greedy these past two days. I ate two more handfuls and my mouth blistered."
Then, she told Peilan: "Make a cup of Kuding tea, and give the Emperor a cup of chrysanthemum tea."
Perrin responded.
Kangxi looked at Concubine Yi and said: "Last year, the Queen Mother once mentioned something to me, saying that Concubine Shuhui wanted to adopt Shi Qi Ge Ge, but I asked the imperial doctor and found that Shi Qi Ge Ge had weak lungs and had
If you have qi disease, you will get sick when the seasons change, and I'm afraid you won't be able to stand up..."
Seventeen Gege is the current youngest daughter of the emperor, the daughter of Liu, the concubine of Zhongcui Palace. She was born in the twelfth month of the thirty-seventh year. She was only three years old in reality, but was actually only one and a half years old.
Concubine Yi was also a nirvana. When she heard the news, she felt uncomfortable and worried: "Now that I am one year old, isn't the most difficult time over?"
Kangxi shook his head and said: "Children are difficult to raise. Before the vaccination, there were many obstacles. Even if Seventeen Gege survives these years, he is so weak that he cannot be vaccinated..."
Concubine Yi was smart and understood what Kangxi meant, and said: "Your Majesty, Brother Seventeen is going to prepare for vaccination?"
Kangxi nodded and said: "I will order you to go down and prepare the mature seedlings, and wait until the winter moon to vaccinate the seventeenth elder brother."
The time for vaccination in Beijing is mostly in the second month of winter and the first lunar month.
Although Concubine Yi had known about this day for a long time, she was still worried and said: "I beg the emperor for your grace, and allow me to come out and take care of you when the time comes. I've had flowers before, so I'm not afraid of this..."
The prince's vaccination must be done outside the palace, in a special vaccination center.
Kangxi shook his head and said: "Don't be ridiculous, you still have 18th brother to take care of..."
Having said this, he paused and said: "When the seventeenth elder brother returns to the palace after being vaccinated against acne, he will move to Ningshou Palace..."
Yifei pouted, with a look of displeasure on her face. She was silent for a while and then nodded.
Kangxi took her hand and said: "There is nothing we can do about this. If we let the concubine educate Princess, we will have to separate our flesh and blood when she cares for Meng. A standing brother will not need the concubine to work hard, but he can also support her."
Beneath the knees..."
Concubine Yi nodded and said: "That's my grandmother too. Princes should be filial, but I'm just a little reluctant to let go. Xiao Qi is caring and well-behaved."
When Kangxi saw this, he couldn't bear it anymore and said: "Chen Guiren will not move the palace. He is still in Yikun Palace. When the seventeenth brother comes over, you can see him often."
Concubine Yi nodded, tears flashing in her eyes.
She can see him, but he is no longer her adopted son.
She can only be a concubine like other concubines. From now on, it will be up to Concubine Shuhui to decide whether the seventeenth prince's food and daily life or his future schooling and marriage plans will be decided...

In the North Fifth Institute, looking at the menu being circled by everyone, Brother Jiu couldn't help but complain.
"Hahahaha, this one who ordered shark's fin and bird's nest must be the third brother. It's not enough to take advantage. It doesn't matter whether it suits your taste or not. I just picked the most expensive one..."
Shu Shu said: "Even if we don't include these items, we still need to add a few big dishes. We can't have a dinner with home-cooked dishes."
Brother Jiu continued to watch and said: "The secret lamb chops and pot-roasted pork are from Fourteen, and the braised pig's trotters and roasted turtle dove are Thirteen's favorites..."
"Big Brother's is boiled fish and spicy beef? Tsk tsk! I have pimples on my face, but I love spicy food so much, and I'm not afraid of getting angry..."
"I've seen the people in Fifth Brother's circle. There's nothing but meat. Dongpo pork, lion's head, braised pork elbow, steamed pork with rice noodles. They're all so fat, and they only order fat meat..."
"Huh? Hot waist and rotten garlic sausage, are they so heavy-handed? Is this the seventh brother? I really didn't notice it, haha..."
Seeing the end, Brother Jiu couldn't help laughing out loud.
Shu Shushi couldn't help but pinched him and said: "It's true, you can even arrange flowers after ordering a dish..."
Speaking of this, she thought of the twelfth elder brother and said: "Let the twelfth elder brother also draw two lines tomorrow, don't neglect it."
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "I know, I know, it's right under my nose. I don't believe you can still pass twelve."
There was nothing to say all night, and the next day Brother Nine went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Seeing this, the twelfth elder brother stood up with a look of surprise on his face.
Didn’t you say yesterday that you wouldn’t come today?
Arrange the plan well.
Obviously, what I said before was that I would be in Changchun Garden every other day, but now it became that I would be in Changchun Garden two days out of three.
Brother Jiu said: "I have something to arrange..."
With that said, he ordered He Yuzhu: "Go to Gao's house and call Lao Gao over... Then go to the Prince's Mansion and call Cao Shun..."
Here, Gao Yanzhong will abandon the prince's ceremony and directly return to the position of the head doctor of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Cao Shun had already hired a third-class bodyguard, so there was no need for trouble. He could just go back to Jiangnan in the name of "visiting relatives."
He lost his first wife and only had one daughter in Jiangning, so he could take her back by the way.
When He Yuzhu went out, the ninth elder brother took out the menu, handed it to the twelfth elder brother and said: "Your sister-in-law asked me to draw, it looks good, at least two, at most four, please do it honestly, it will save your sister-in-law the trouble of preparing the table..."
…”
The twelfth elder brother listened carefully, looked at it carefully, and then ordered two dishes, eight-treasure tofu and yam and fungus.
Brother Jiu frowned and said, "You are so thin. Do you have the wrong diet? Is it because you don't eat enough meat on weekdays? You don't like meat?"
The twelfth elder brother frowned and said: "Brother Ninth, pork has a smell and I don't like eating it."
The prince's daily food supply is mainly pork, six pounds of pork, and ten chickens and ducks every month.
Brother Jiu's face turned ugly after hearing this, and said: "Is it a taste of being a kid? Is it still a taste now?"
The twelfth elder brother was a little confused. He thought for a while and said, "It seems to have always been smelly."
Brother Jiu immediately called out a note and ordered: "Go to the imperial dining room and call the principal over..."
The post was echoed.
The twelfth elder brother looked a little confused.
Brother Jiu said angrily: "The pork in the palace, the pork supplied to the master is fifty kilograms of piglets, how come it has a smell? The ones with strong smell and fishy smell are supplied to the palace people and eunuchs.
pork!"
The twelfth elder brother did not expect that there is such a distinction. He almost never eats pork. He rarely eats pork when he eats out for a few meals. He has no idea that there is such a difference.
The twelfth elder brother said: "What about the little pork?"
Brother Jiu sneered: "I also want to know..."
After a while, the steward of the imperial dining room arrived.
Seeing Brother Ninth's bad expression, the boss became a little more careful.
Brother Jiu didn't rush to reprimand him, he just sneered and said, "I want to see if I have wronged you!"
The man was frightened, but he was confused and didn't know where to start.
After a while, there was a movement outside. It was Sun Jin who brought two eunuchs from the Fifth Qianxi Institute.
The two eunuchs were carrying baskets in their hands, and inside were the twelfth prince's portion for today.
Big pork and small pork are obvious at a glance and cannot be faked.
The eyes of the ninth elder brother were about to burst into flames. He pointed at the pork and said, "Is this the case for the twelfth elder brother?"
The principal was still a little confused and said hesitantly: "It should be so..."
Brother Jiu said angrily: "How did you get here as an official? You only have to be on duty to have tea all day long? You can't even tell the difference between good and bad pork?"
The manager was so frightened that he knelt down and said, "It's my servant's negligence. Normally, the deputy chef below is responsible for the selection of ingredients!"
"Check! Let's see which bastard was in charge. He only changed the Twelfth Prince, or other places as well..."
Brother Jiu looked at the man with a cold face and said: "Whoever is found responsible will be sent directly to the Criminal Punishment Department. If you can't find it... go to the Criminal Punishment Department yourself to charge up!"
The boss kowtowed hurriedly and said: "Jiu Ye, please calm down. I will investigate carefully! I will investigate carefully!"
Brother Jiu snorted coldly: "Go back and tell those uncles to clean up their tails. The fate of the Ma family and the Wei family ahead of them is there. Even the prince can't be a backer. What do they have as slaves?"
The boss was obedient.
Brother Jiu took a breath and said: "Even if I am angry, one day I will be so angry that you will be left alone?!"
The manager was sweating all over and was scared to death.
Brother Jiu finished his training, waved his hand and said: "Okay, get lost. Within three days, I will wait for news from the Shenxing Division, and then think about how to report to the emperor..."
The chief kowtowed and retired respectfully.
The twelfth elder brother looked a little ugly.
Has this been caused by the lake for ten years?
Brother Jiu looked at him and said: "Look, a slave has bullied you. If you don't stand up, will you marry Fujin and let Fujin follow you and be bullied?"
The twelfth elder brother waited for a long time before he said: "Has the ninth brother been touched by the lake?"
Brother Jiu rolled his eyes.
A wicked child, you still need to ask this?
I really can't speak.
Stab the heart.
My own prince's warehouse has been emptied, what is it if it's not Lake Alley?
