My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 74 Tanabata

It was approaching the beginning of You, Concubine Yi did not take the shoulder guard, but walked to Qianqing Palace.

After the eunuch passed the news, Concubine Yi came in, and Kangxi couldn't take his eyes off: "This is..."

Concubine Yi was slim, turned around, and said coquettishly: "The emperor forgot?"

Kangxi smiled and shook his head: "How can someone who is a mother-in-law be so naughty?"

"Your Majesty! Why don't you open which pot and lift which pot?"

Concubine Yi showed displeasure on her face: "A few days ago, I was talking about it at the Queen Mother's place, annoying the fifth and ninth children to death. They are not as clever and cute as they were when they were young. Not to mention their rough appearance, just throwing a pestle there like a pillar is also a shame. The courtiers and concubines are all old..."

Concubine Yi didn't even need to tell her when it was time to speak, she just sat down by the kang.

Seeing that Kangxi's posture was stiff, she complained: "The emperor must have been approving papers all afternoon. What did the imperial doctor say? Sitting for a long time hurts the body. It takes half an hour to get up and walk, or the body is stiff... "

While speaking, she had already stretched out her hand and landed on Kangxi's neck.

Kangxi also adjusted his direction so that she could help rub his shoulders and neck, half-closed his eyes and said, "The days go by faster every year, and it's been more than twenty years in the blink of an eye..."

"I really dare not think that at that time, the courtiers and concubines were so delicate that they would blush when they talked to the emperor, but now they have become old-fashioned dishes and become mamas..."

Concubine Yi sighed.

Everyone is nostalgic for the time of youth, and the emperor is no exception.

Kangxi fell into distant memories: "That year when you first went to bed, you were dressed in the same attire. I thought it was delicate and cute. It happened that the Ministry of Internal Affairs came up with jewelry, so I chose this pair of flower hairpins to reward you..."

"The concubine has her own thoughts, the emperor is a big man, so careless, he didn't notice it at all... The concubine didn't dare to cry, but her heart was sour..."

Concubine Yi said with a bit of sadness.

Kangxi turned his head: "And this thing, why don't I remember?"

"Your Majesty, take a closer look at your concubines!"

Concubine Yi raised her eyebrows.

Kangxi took a few glances, and his eyes fell on Yifei's eyes. I have to say that among the earlier concubines, Yifei not only looks good, but also takes good care of her. Other older concubines have wrinkles at the corners of their eyes.

"emperor……"

Concubine Yi stretched out her arms: "The emperor looks at the sleeves, and then at the waistcoat of my concubine..."

Kangxi shifted his gaze, nodded and said, "The colors match well, but the colors are a little messed up..."

Concubine Yi had no choice but to point to the shirt and said: "Look, this is Lian Lizhi..." Then she pointed to the waistcoat: "This is the mandarin duck pattern..."

Kangxi took a closer look, but the shirt was covered with embroidered flowers, and the waistcoat was patterned with mandarin ducks...

This thick and thin intertwined pattern is called mandarin duck pattern?
A seventeen-year-old girl wearing this dress...

The imperial concubine looked at each other and smiled.

Kangxi's eyes are full of tolerance, while Yi Fei's eyes are full of gratitude and admiration...

two.

Shu Shu and Brother Nine took it too late.

Shu Shu also sensed Brother Jiu's pulse, so she no longer prepared two meals.

One bowl of yam porridge and two red bean cakes per person.

Brother Jiu put down his chopsticks, showing his disapproval: "Why do you eat so little?"

Shu Shu rinsed her mouth: "I ate a few pieces of pasta in the afternoon, and I'm still not hungry..."

Brother Nine is relieved now.

Shu Shu remembered Wang Gege's matter, so she told the other party's strangeness and her own guess.

Brother Nine let out a long breath, with disgust on his face: "No wonder she repeated in front of me repeatedly, saying that Mrs. Wang has a good temper and is honest and responsible, and that Mrs. Zhaojia has a high heart and bullies Mrs. Wang in the backyard... ...Whether it's a conspiracy or something else, if you have a bad mind, you can't stay..."

Shu Shu thought for a while, and said: "It's not suitable to move at this time, it's better to wait for a while..."

Besides, there is no reason to directly convict someone based on guesswork. It's just that there are too many people in this yard, so it's not a good time to investigate or interrogate.

Brother Jiu is worried: "Her family is not ordinary, but she was born in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, who knows if there are any relatives or acquaintances... Since you are 'recovering from illness', let them copy the scriptures, so as to save them from restlessness..."

Shu Shu nodded: "Listen to my master... There is one more thing, I need to find my master's idea... Nanny Zhou is old enough, she should have been honored and raised, I think I will let her out of the palace in a while... Nanny Qi Grandpa has also met, there is no scheming from the city government, the servant is okay, but he can't manage people... The nanny in this yard, grandpa, I have watched it all these years, who else is available..."

Brother Nine felt uncomfortable, and said with a wry smile: "There really is such a person! Earlier, the head of the nuns was Gao Nai, who was a very upright person... At that time, I didn't know what was good or bad, and I thought she was in charge of things. Guan Xi's stomach hurts from accumulated food, and she was afraid that people would find out about stealing the food, so she lied that she had caught a cold and her stomach was bloated... Madam Gao was on duty at night, she was out of order, and the master didn't stop her, so she changed her errand and went out of the palace..."

Shu Shu hesitated.

This is another Nanny Qi! ?
It seems that the nursing mother has a special subsidy for the nursing care in the palace, but in fact the higher status is the nanny.

Because the nannies are also responsible for raising the rules of the princes and princesses, and are responsible for the enlightenment of Manchu, so most of the nannies have read books and know how to read.

At that time, brother Jiu was young, and it was Mrs. Liu who was behind the scenes.

This Gao Nanny obviously lacked fighting power, and she was cleared in one round.

Seeing Shu Shu's silence, Brother Jiu glanced at her.

The wife talked about the rules, but in fact she acted as she wanted, and she definitely didn't want to come in and chatter with such a person by her side.

Unexpectedly, Shu Shu became interested instead, and asked Nanny Gao: "How old are you, is your family working as an errand?"

"A round older than Mrs. Liu. Back then Mrs. Liu had one sister and one elder sister. She treated Madam Gao very warmly. After Hou Qing withdrew, the empress asked someone to arrange for her eldest son to join the Guangchu Division..."

Brother Jiu sighed.

Shu Shu estimated Liu Mama's age in her heart, and the selection of pacifiers in the palace had an age limit, between fifteen and twenty years old, women who had given birth to the third child.

Those who give birth to daughters feed the prince, and those who give birth to children feed the princess.

Nanny Liu was much younger than her appearance.

Nanny Gao is a round older than Liu Shi, and she is only in her forties, which is the age that can be used.

The Guangchu Department is the most lucrative yamen in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and Concubine Yi is comforting her on behalf of her son.

Shu Shu couldn't bear it anymore, and reached out to touch Brother Jiu's bare forehead.

This guy is very lucky, with such a thoughtful and intelligent biological mother, and a brother as generous as the fifth elder brother, he should have lived a safe and happy life, but he blindly participated in the marriage and won the heir, and even got implicated with Concubine Yi. A model of filial piety.

Brother Jiu didn't avoid it, but only showed dissatisfaction: "What kind of eyes are you? Are you slandering me? Wasn't I young at the time? When you were young, you were willing to be cared about by others..."

Shu Shu smiled: "I didn't slander this, I just thought about my mother's hard work and worrying about my father... If we have a little elder brother in the future, I can't be my mother's patience, and I can't fix it at that time, so don't worry about it." stop..."

Brother Jiu nodded in agreement: "Don't stop me, if you are not sensible, I will beat you up together..." Then, he came to his senses, and glared at Shu Shu: "Okay, you are saying that Grandpa deserved to be beaten when he was young... ..."

In Shu Shu's mind, the appearance of Brother Nine with three heads appeared, and he said with a smile: "Master must be as white and tender as a little girl, and I'm afraid I'm afraid she won't be willing to discipline her..."

Ninth elder brother became furious, turned over and threw Shu Shu down: "Who is the little girl? Who is the little girl..."

*
"Chinese Valentine's Day" passed silently like this.

As for whether Brother Jiu is a "little girl", I don't know how to tell the difference between the two.

Shu Shu started her "foot-free" career.

In fact, it's almost the same as the previous life, except that every five and ten greetings are avoided.

Brother Nine's itinerary, apart from going to and from Shang's study every day, has one more place to go.

Cining Palace.

Since the empress dowager died of illness, the empress dowager and the concubine moved to the Ningshou Palace, and the Ci Ning Palace has been vacant.

Later, the construction office of the Palace of Mental Cultivation moved to the Palace of Compassion and Ning.

Brother Jiu has been fond of Western objects since he was a child, and there have been bursts before. Whenever he became interested, he would go to the construction office for a while.

Even the tenth elder brother didn't think it was strange, he only thought that the ninth elder brother was enlightened, thinking about gifts to please his wife and so on.

Only Shu Shu was worried.

She didn't know whether she was hoping that brother Jiu would find out, or not.

It would be terrible if it was found out that Eleventh Brother's death was indeed man-made.

Moreover, Concubine Yi's mother and son will inevitably turn their anger on the Concubine Crown Princess.

After all, when Concubine Yi was in charge of the palace, her son was safe and sound; after handing over the palace power for a year, the youngest son died quietly like this.

Even if the mastermind is not the princess, a "overseeing" cannot escape.

that way...

Is it the incentive to seize the heir apparent?

*
In the Ci Ning Palace, an empty place.

Brother Jiu looked at Liang Chuanqing, who was hunched over in front of him, with gray hair and a disabled leg. He looked like an old man in his fifties or sixties.

In fact, he is younger than Cui Nanshan, only in his forties this year.

From the eunuch in charge of elder brother's office to the caretaker of the house in the Palace of Compassion, Liang Chuanqing's situation is very different.

Seeing Brother Nine coming over, Liang Chuanqing couldn't help turning his eyes red as he looked at the eyebrows that were vaguely similar to those in his memory: "Master Nine..."

Brother Jiu didn't know how to ask.

Was elder brother Eleven abnormal before his death?
Who are the imperial physicians in the Imperial Hospital who are treating Brother Eleven?
How could she be doing well before moving to the palace, but getting weaker and weaker every year in elder brother's house?

If Khan Ama and Niangniang are here, what should be asked has already been asked.

If it was really that easy to investigate, there might have been clues.

It seems that Eleven was not seriously ill from the beginning...

In the beginning, it was only a common minor illness, such as catching a cold in changing seasons...

Since when did it get serious?

Thirty-three years of Kangxi?

Or Kangxi thirty-four years?

In Elder Brother's Institute, the chief eunuch has an overview of the overall situation, and the one who really serves closely is the nanny...

Brother Jiu unexpectedly asked, "Is Mrs. Meng still alive?"

Liang Chuanqing was stunned, then shook his head: "It was gone the year before last..."

Brother Jiu's heart tightened, and he asked: "Why not?"

Liang Chuanqing said with a wry smile: "Back when Elder Brother passed away, the emperor rewarded everyone from the four schools...Mr. Meng endured forty boards...and died three days after returning home..."
