My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 427 Streamlining
It was two quarters before Chenzheng, and the crown princess arrived before the concubine.

Shu Shu got up following Wu Fujin, and welcomed the crown princess in.

Following the arrival of the Crown Princess, the lords of various palaces came one after another outside, bringing with them nobles who were qualified to pay their respects.

Sanfujin and Sifujin were not seen, they should have gone to their mother-in-law.

When we arrived at Chenzheng, all the people outside came.

Concubine Yi was not around, so Shu Shu followed Wu Fujin.

The two went out behind the princess and stood beside the queen.

It was the first time for Shu Shu to stand in this position, which was different from before.

Before, she was standing behind Concubine Yi, on the west side, so it was easier to see the concubines on the opposite side, such as Concubine Hui, Concubine De, Concubine Xianfu, Concubine Duan, and Concubine Wei.

Standing on the right side of the seat of the Empress Dowager, I saw a panoramic view.

Although Concubine Yi didn't come, the first seat on the west side was still vacant, and no one messed up the seat.

Below them are Concubine Rong, Concubine Tong, Concubine Xi, and Concubine Zhang.

In addition to the nine seated heads, there are three or four nobles standing behind the last seat.

They are still embarrassed, only one Guerjia nobleman knows him.

Last summer and this spring, there were nobles from Guerjia in the two retinues, and the limelight was the same for a while.

Guerjia's aristocratic complexion is getting better and better, she is charming and charming, and she looks much plumper than last year.

San Fujin stood behind Concubine Rong with a mournful expression, it seemed that she knew that her mother-in-law was going to follow her.

Her two sons are young and without proper care, they will definitely be stuck and unable to go out.

Because I showed off in front of my sister-in-law before, I feel ashamed now, I just feel that other people will laugh at me, and I don’t look at everyone.

In contrast, Concubine Rong was refreshed.

She is the oldest among the concubines, her hair was a little thin before, and her hairline was pulled higher before.

When Concubine Yi made it popular to wear the tinsel, Concubine Rong kept the tinsel on her head to cover up the blemishes on her forehead and put on thick powder to make her look a lot younger.

Sifujin stood behind Concubine De, with a dignified expression and hidden emotions.

Concubine Wei's face couldn't see the passage of time, her hair was still beautiful from her hair to her heels, her skin was so fair that it seemed to be shining.

Shu Shu couldn't help but look at it a few more times.

She couldn't look directly at Concubine Wei's face, so she landed on her stomach.

Such a beauty, no matter how pampered she can understand.

Is Kangxi too restrained?

Or is Concubine Wei not up to snuff?
How did you give birth to an eighth elder brother?
Like Concubine Rong and Concubine De, both had six births.

Concubine Yi four times.

Chapter concubine three times.

Empress Yuan, Concubine Hui, Concubine Wen Xi, Concubine Wang Shu twice.

Shu Shu glanced at Concubine Tong.

Her imperial concubine was stillborn.

The layout of the harem will not change for the time being.

After Suo'etu's death, Yuqing Palace was severely damaged, and the Crown Princess was not as confident as before, so there was no need to bring out a third party to balance it out.

Concubine Tong no longer had the composure she had before, she had a slight smile on her face, but her eyes were dimmed, and she was faintly timid.

Her confidence comes from her surname and family.

Now the surname is there, and the family is also there, but the branch of her natal family has been kicked out of Beijing. It seems that the blow is not light.

Concubine Hui had already talked about the Southern Tour with the Queen Mother, and said with a smile: "First take a carriage to Tongzhou, and then board a boat to go south. I have only been on a royal boat in the garden, and I have never been on a big boat."

The queen mother smiled and said: "This time it's a big ship, we'll learn a lot then."

Concubine Rong also had a smile on her face, and said: "I heard that it is going all the way south along the canal, and I don't know if I can reach Hangzhou in a month's work."

This time the main concubines are the two of them. Although Concubine Hui is the Prime Minister, Concubine Rong is also happy with her.

She remembered clearly that last year when Concubine Yi was in charge, she came back with more than a dozen boxes of luggage, all of which were gifts from the Mongolian princes, princesses, and princesses.

This southern tour is similar to the situation.

There are no vassal kings, but local officials and edicts from various provinces along the way come to court.

At that time, the filial piety of their concubines will naturally be indispensable.

Sitting on the seat, the queen mother waved her hands when she saw the envious and jealous faces of the other concubines: "If you don't want to go out, go back first, you don't need to stay here..."

All the concubines looked at each other, looking at Concubine De.

Concubine De got up and said respectfully: "The concubine will go back first."

The Empress Dowager nodded, stood up and greeted Concubine Hui and Concubine Rong to Dongci Room.

Concubine Hui looked at Noble Guerjia, waved to her, and signaled her to follow.

On the list this time, there is also the nobleman Guerjia.

Concubine Rong looked at Sanfu Jin and said: "You go out of the palace first, brothers are still young, don't come out to hang out all the time."

San Fujin's face turned red, and he responded, and followed the concubines out of Ningshou Palace.

Concubine De was not happy, and did not keep four Fujin.

At the gate of Shenwumen, two sisters-in-law who were about to leave the palace met each other.

Sanfujin took Sifujin's hand, and complained in a low voice: "What on earth is our lady thinking? People who are almost fifty don't say they should be taken care of properly. They insist on going out with them to compete with young nobles. I find it shabby..."

According to the news that came out years ago, there was no Concubine Rong.

Because of this, the third elder brother even talked to San Fujin once, and what he said was that Concubine Hui and the elder brother took advantage of each other.

The mother of the eldest son of the emperor is the first person in the absence of queens and concubines in the harem.

It's a pity that my mother is not lucky, but if the first two sons establish one, they will be the current concubine Hui.

After hearing this, San Fujin didn't take it seriously.

If that's the case, it may be a disaster rather than a blessing to my mother-in-law.

Concubine Hui's justice and generosity are well-known.

Even the mother of the eldest son of the emperor did not favor the elder brother and treat other princes and princesses with disdain.

It is also the only trust in the harem that the emperor can entrust Concubine Hui to take care of Zhaoxiang.

Sanfujin complained about her mother-in-law, but Sifujin was not easy to answer, so he just broke the conversation and said: "There are still many opportunities in the future. If there is no this time, there are other opportunities."

San Fujin sighed and said: "But who knows if there will be a queen mother next time? Speaking of which, the four younger brothers and sisters are the same as me. They didn't catch up with last year's northern tour. They all said that the Mongolian princes are rich and rich. How many houses have you visited in this Eastern League? Brothers and sisters have taken advantage of them, so it should be our turn."

Si Fujin said: "It's not so easy to go out, it's tiring, anyway, I don't like to go out."

Sanfujin thought about the situation just now, and let out a "huh".

"The Crown Princess has come out from Ningshou Palace, why didn't Shu Shu come out, all right, why is she joining in the fun?"

Si Fujin smiled and said: "I guess they are waiting for the fifth younger sibling, and the fifth younger sibling will go to Concubine Yi's mother's palace to pay her respects."

San Fujin curled her lips and said: "When we were the prince Fujin, whoever was not trembling, that is, Shu Shu is relaxed, little daughter-in-law, just push the fifth sibling to the front."

Sifujin smiled and didn't answer.

Sanfujin asked curiously: "What happened to the eighth Fujin, do my siblings know the news?"

Si Fujin said: "Recently, the weather has been hot and cold, and the children are making a lot of noise. They can't do without people, and they don't have time to go out."

Sanfujin asked curiously: "With Bafujin's domineering temperament, he can let the eighth elder brother take Gege out, so it won't be a monster again then?"

Si Fujin didn't answer, and he was not sure.

With Ba Fujin's waywardness, it might not be true.

Ningshou Palace, Dongci Room.

Concubine Hui looked at the queen mother and said: "The emperor is afraid of disturbing the place. I agreed to get the money from the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Sibeile made an expense list according to the previous entourage. The emperor saw it and thought it was too expensive. Grandpa, ordered to reduce the number of manpower, and the accompanying concubines also went to four Qianqing palaces to agree, and there are only six people left, and the number of people who will follow and serve will probably also be reduced."

The queen mother nodded and said: "It's better to be frugal. When you go out, you don't have to be like a palace, surrounded by a bunch of people who are in the same place."

Concubine Hui smiled and said: "No matter how simple it is, it won't be as simple as yours. The concubine is thinking about those of us who follow in the palace, so I will have fewer followers. I was planning to bring eight. Now I am bringing five, and I am going to bring six." Bring three, bring two for four, bring one for two, so that dozens of people can be streamlined in the palace..."

The Empress Dowager said: "It's all according to the emperor's wishes. You can make arrangements."

Concubine Hui looked at Concubine Rong.

Concubine Rong smiled but said: "Sister arranges, of course I listen to my sister."

She and Concubine Hui originally wanted to bring eight people to serve, but now it is almost half of the number.

Concubine Hui looked at Shu Shu again and said, "You and Jiu Gege have Brother Thirteen and Brother Fourteen, each with three people."

Shu Shu obediently agreed.

In my previous life, I saw the information, and someone compared it specifically, saying that it was the difference between Kangxi's southern tour and Qianlong's southern tour.

Kangxi's southern tour, the first two times were no more than [-] people, and the last few times were more, but the number was less than [-], using the royal boat remodeled from the official ship.

Qianlong's southern tour, not counting the guards along the way, only the accompanying fleet required two to three thousand people, and Qianlong's imperial boat was specially made.

Concubine Rong was surprised and said: "Brother Jiu is going too? Is it a new addition?"

The queen mother smiled and said: "Brother Jiu is not going, I want to take Jiu Fujin with me and be a companion on the way."

Concubine Rong still wanted to speak, but Concubine Hui had already looked at the Guerjia family, and patiently instructed: "Everyone will reduce the number of people, and you should also reduce the number of people on your side. , it is more convenient to bring one..."

Noble Guerjia is seventeen years old, a bit younger than the elder brother, Concubine Hui sees them as children, and treats them generously.

Noble Guerjia said gratefully, "Thank you, Madam, for your guidance."

The one who could bring four people before was the nobleman Guerjia and the concubine concubine who was treated by the nobleman.

This time it was changed to take two people.

The remaining two changed to one refers to the promise of the two new recruits of the Qianqing Palace.

Concubine Hui sent someone to order.

After Concubine Hui finished talking about the people in the palace, she looked at Wu Fujin and said, "The emperor said, let the two of you serve on the Empress Dowager's boat, and bring as few people as possible, so as not to be cramped."

Wu Fujin also obediently agreed.

After leaving Ningshou Palace, Shu Shu and Wu Fujin went to Yikun Palace together.

Shu Shu whispered: "It's nothing else. Those who have hands and feet don't have to be served by others, but combing hair is a technical job!"

Wu Fujin nodded and said: "Yes, this takes up one person, and according to what Concubine Hui said, bring a eunuch or a nanny, then there will be one person left."

Shu Shu also felt a headache.

She wanted to take care of the Queen Mother's diet, so Xiaotang couldn't do without her.

Plus the eunuch Zhou Song, there are also three.

What about Xiaochun and Xiaosong?
