Clearly, she doesn't want to be a concubine

Great victory in this battle.

In July, Shuomo was pacified, and officials were sent to offer sacrifices to suburban temples, mausoleums, and ancestors.

Some ministers decided with Galdan to ask Kangxi to add the empress dowager's emblem as Shoukang Xianning.

After Kangxi hesitated a little, he put the matter on hold.

After going down to Ningshou Palace, he told the Queen Mother about it.

The queen mother waved her hand and said: "It's not necessary to waste people's money. I don't care about these false names. Forget it, forget it."

Kangxi said: "Since Huang Erniang said so, then follow Huangerniang's wishes."

The Empress Dowager Kangxi did not want to be honored, so she refused the title.

The minister invited three times, but was rejected.

Although he refused, Kangxi still sent some things to the Empress Dowager's palace.

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "I'm not a little girl, so I don't need you to coax me like this."

Kangxi only said: "My son's filial piety, please don't refuse the empress."

The Empress Dowager accepted it with a smile, and asked Kangxi again: "How about Ruyi's business?"

"The Ministry of Rites is working on it." Kangxi said, "When it's done, my son will tell the queen mother."

The Empress Dowager nodded, and although she hesitated, she still told him about another matter: "When the Crown Princess came to pay her respects a few days ago, she said that the Crown Prince...was a little...sexy with the servants."

Kangxi didn't take it seriously: "If the prince likes something, just make her a concubine."

The Empress Dowager dispersed the servants before saying in a low voice, "How can a man be made a concubine?"

Kangxi paused with the hand holding the teacup: "My son will ask someone to investigate."

The queen mother sighed: "Also, Fourteen hasn't been to Shang's study for several days."

"Concubine De doesn't care?"

"No."

Kangxi nodded: "My son knows."

He sat for a while, then returned to Qianqing Palace to deal with government affairs.

He asked people to call in the ministers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and asked them to go to the Yuqing Palace to find out about the chaos.

The Minister of Internal Affairs took orders to do it.

He had these things in his heart, so he couldn't help being a little bit hesitant to read the memorial.

Distraught, he planned to go out for a walk.

Liang Jiugong held up the memorial presented by the Ministry of Rites at this time.

Kangxi took a look: "Let it go."

Liang Jiugong said: "Your Majesty, this is from the Ministry of Rites, it's about Si Gege's marriage."

Kangxi took it and opened it, but he really didn't care to pay attention, he just said: "Let them do it like this."

"Yes." Liang Jiugong withdrew.

Kangxi went to Yonghe Palace.

Umalu was reading a book, saw him coming, put the book down to salute, Kangxi pulled her to sit down, and glanced at the book on the table.

He asked her, "Do you know about Fourteen not studying?"

"know."

"You don't care."

"If you don't read it, don't read it." Umalu said calmly, "He should suffer."

Umalu is not one to spoil children blindly.

She originally felt that the so-called parents should not only raise their children, not only teach them how to behave, but also teach them to be a healthy person.

Kangxi choked on being blocked by her, and looked at Liuli: "Call Fourteen."

Fourteen knew that Kangxi was coming, so he hid a long time ago. After searching for a long time, even the palace people of Yonghe Palace went down to look for it.

Finally found it in a locker in Umalu's warehouse.

He became a little tabby cat and fell asleep.

The little eunuch held Yinti Fu's life.

Kangxi said angrily: "This is the good son you raised."

"This is also my son."

Kangxi said angrily: "Bring him to me tomorrow."

"Yes."

The little eunuch went down holding Yinti.

After going out the door, Yinti quietly opened his eyes, closed them again, and couldn't help but buried his head in a smile.

Good job, dodged a bullet.

Kangxi sat down and put down his teacup heavily: "There is no one who makes me worry."

Umalu pushed the teacup to him, and said with a smile: "Who is messing with you again?"

Kangxi waved his hand: "Nothing."

Umalu responded, bowed his head and flipped through the book.

Kangxi took the book in her hand and read it from the beginning.

Umalu didn't care about the childish him, and picked up "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" sideways to read.

Kangxi hurriedly flipped through the pages, looking at the ending: Big grievances, big vendettas, cannot be repaid, and they are both worthy to be husband and wife in this life.

He smiled: "It's interesting, I'll take it back to have a look first."

Umalu hummed: "Remember to send it back, but don't let the servants see it."

Kangxi laughed at her: "You should read less miscellaneous books."

There was an interruption, and Kangxi also regained his strength. He remembered one thing: "The fourth child should win the championship this year."

"Yes, Dongyue and Crown."

Kangxi nodded slightly: "When you're an adult, you shouldn't be like a child."

"Yes."

Kangxi sat for a while, intending to go back to read the memorial, and he left with the "Marriage of Awakening the World".

After returning to Qianqing Palace, he called the Minister of Rites, Manzhou Shangshu Fulun, to discuss the matter of conferring titles.

Fu Lun asked: "If this is the case, should the Seventh Brother's adoption be prepared by the Ministry of Rites first?"

"Okay, let the Ministry of Rites prepare."

Fran went down.

Yinzhen sometimes went to do some affairs ordered by Kangxi, and also walked around with the ministers in the court.

When he entered the palace to renew the order, he happened to bump into Fu Lun coming out.

Fran salutes.

Yinzhen returned the salute and asked, "Lord Buddha, you are..."

"Hey, let's talk about the affairs of the Ministry of Rites." Folun waved his hand and gave him a thorough explanation, "It's a good thing."

Fu Lun said: "I won't go into details, Si elder brother, this slave will take a step first."

"Go slowly, my lord."

Fran bowed and left.

Yinzhen entered the inner room to renew the order.

After Kangxi finished listening, he said to Yinzhen: "When you have time, go and see your mother-in-law."

"Yes."

He said casually, "Since Fourteen doesn't study, don't worry about it as an older brother."

"After saying fourteen last time, he doesn't see me now."

Kangxi scolded: "He is becoming more and more outrageous."

Yinzhen didn't answer.

Fortunately, Kangxi only mentioned it.

Kangxi waved his hand and said, "Okay, you can go down."

Yinzhen went to see Umalu, greeted him, chatted a few more words, and then left.

A few days later, after Yinzhen went to court to listen to the matter, he was grabbed by Yinyou who was waiting on the road.

Yinyou said: "Fourth brother, you can't ignore me."

Yinzhen looked around and pulled him to Yonghe Palace.

Liuli arranged an empty wing room for them.

Yinyou said: "The Ministry of Rites is preparing for my adoption."

"I don't want to go out," he said.

Yinzhen thought about it for a while: "Have you asked the prince?"

"I've been there, and I'm making a fuss now." Yinyou said, "Besides, the prince has always looked down on me, Lao Ba and Thirteen. Even if I beg him to come, he won't bother me."

Yinzhen said, "Is it useful for us to talk?"

Yinzhen apologized and said, "If it's useful, we two brothers should go to the emperor's father now and explain the matter clearly. But if it's useless..."

He hesitated for a moment, but he also gritted his teeth and said: "If I had known this was the case, I should have taken you directly to Qianqing Palace after the next court."

"Fourth brother, you have to help me." Yinyou said happily, "I knew that fourth brother is the most reliable."

Yinzhen didn't act recklessly, he always acted safely.

He took Yinyou to see Umalu first, and told Umalu about the matter.

Yinzhen said: "Since Lao Qi is not willing, I intend to help him."

Umalu stopped turning the beads, and said: "Let Yinyou go by himself. If it's not enough, come to me again, don't show your head."

Yinyou sat nervously, constantly turning the teacup in his hand.

Umalu looked at Yinyou: "Say it yourself, do you know how to say it?"

"Tell the emperor that I don't want to adopt him."

After Umalu nodded, he shook his head again, teaching him how to say this.

After finishing speaking, Umalu told him again: "If your royal father asks, who taught you to say these words. You just push me out, and don't hide it. If he didn't ask, you don't have this time thing."

Yinyou said: "Then if the emperor asks why Concubine De would help me, how should I answer?"

"What your imperial father asked you, you just answer truthfully." Umalu looked at Yinzhen, "You should go back to accompany Jingshu. Li Shi just gave birth to a child this year, just when you are needed, you should go back home .”

Yinyou and Yinzhen were kicked out.

On the way, Yinyou asked Yinzhen: "Fourth brother, can this really be done?"

"Try what my mother said first, if it doesn't work, let's find a way."

Yinzhen sent Yinyou to Qianqing Palace before going out by himself.

Yinyoushao met Kangxi, who adored and feared his imperial father.

He never even asked to meet in private.

Concubine De let him handle these matters by himself, he panicked for a while, but he had already been sent here by his fourth brother, it would not be right for him to run away.

He waited for Liang Jiugong to enter the pass, and then, for the first time, walked into the inner room of the palace where his imperial father lived, and saluted.

Kangxi stopped the imperial pen for reviewing the memorial, and looked at him: "Get up, it's rare for you to come here, tell me, what's the matter."

Yinyou got up, and according to Umalu's teaching, he said word by word: "The son knows that the emperor's father adopted the son out for his son's consideration. The son also knows the glory of the emperor's father and his uncle, the pure prince Tang Di. But the son only wants to be in the Be filial to the emperor's side."

Kangxi looked at him for a while: "Who taught you this."

"Concubine De."

"Does she know that you will treat her like this?" Kangxi looked at her.

"It's Concubine De's mother who taught her son that when the emperor's father asks him, he must not hide it, but tell him truthfully." According to what Umalu said, Yinyou did not violate it at all.

Kangxi put down the imperial pen in his hand, and asked him: "Is it because you don't want to adopt, or is it because of the old four's instigation."

"It's the son himself." Yinyou wanted to hide it, but remembering Defei's words, he still told the truth, "My son doesn't want to be adopted out, so I asked fourth brother for help."

"Where are the old four!"

"After coming out of Concubine De's place, the fourth brother sent his son to the gate of Qianqing Palace and returned home."

"Is it also your concubine De's order?"

Yinyou nodded truthfully.

"Go down.

After hearing this, Yinyou quickly backed down.

Kangxi knocked on the table, and asked Liang Jiugong, "What do you think of Concubine De?"

Liang Jiugong smiled and said, "It's hard to say, slave."

"Say it straight, forgive you for your innocence."

Liang Jiugong said: "My slave thinks, it must be because Master De couldn't bear to do this."

"Then why did she take out the fourth child?"

Liang Jiugong said with a smile: "The servant is stupid and can't figure it out."

Kangxi tapped the table with the back of his finger: "She is afraid that I will suspect that the fourth child and the seventh child are in collusion."

He snorted and said, "Although I guard against faction disputes, don't I want to guard against my own son as well?"

Liang Jiugong listened and remained silent.

Kangxi waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let Folun come over."

"Yes." Liang Jiugong sent someone to go.

It was already an hour after Folun entered the palace.

Kangxi said directly: "There is no need to mention the matter of Yinyou's adoption in the future."

"Forget about Lao Qi and his older brothers, and count Lao Ba." Kangxi stroked the jade wrench and said, "Dafeng."

Kangxi let Fo Lun back down.

Fo Lun pondered for a moment before letting the Ministry of Rites handle it.

On the second day, Yinti was taken to Qianqing Palace, and Kangxi didn't beat him, scold him or ask him questions, but made him kneel for a day.

It was sent back by the little eunuch at night.

Kangxi said calmly, "From now on, I will kneel here every day from Mao to Xu."

Yinti cried in fright: "No, I don't want to, the emperor wants to study."

Kangxi ordered Liang Jiugong without changing his face: "Send it back."

Yinti, who had returned to Yonghe Palace, cried and asked his mother to invite Umalu, but after waiting for a long time, Yin Shuang'er came.

Yin Shuang'er said: "Little master, Sister Liuli said, the master asked the slave to tell you that everything was chosen by you, and you should bear the consequences yourself."

"You are just a slave, get out of here. I want my mother, I want my mother." He cried.

Liuli came here not long ago, she smiled softly and lovingly: "Master said, little master is quite energetic, from now on it's better to eat one meal a day."

She looked around and said meaningfully: "The Yonghe Palace cannot keep disobedient slaves."

She took Yin Shuang'er out, and took out the hairpin in her sleeve: "The master asked me to give it to you. He said that the fourteenth elder brother came up in a hurry, and he would definitely say something unpleasant and hurt your heart." , Ask me to apologize to you."

Umalu is right, Yin Shuang'er is really uncomfortable when she is scolded like that by the child she brought up.

Liuli discussed with her again: "Master said, first Lian Xin, then Bao Zhu, and Miss You Xi, now there is a vacant seat, master intends to use you, it just depends on whether you are willing or not."

If it was before today, Yin Shuang'er would definitely refuse, but after what happened just now...

Yin Shuang'er nodded.

Afterwards, the two maids beside Umalu: Liuli and Yin Shuang'er never changed again.

Yinti couldn't wait for his mother-in-law, so he had to cry himself to sleep.

Woke up again early in the morning, washed and sent to the Qianqing Palace for punishment, and only got up at noon, having dinner with Kangxi.

His legs were numb and numb, so numb that he couldn't help crying, and he cried while eating.

Kangxi glanced at him lightly and said nothing.

Although the ministers who came to discuss political affairs with Kangxi would not look at him, they would always secretly glance at him from the corner of their eyes.

Yinti naturally knelt on the futon, but that was not negligent.

For three days in a row, Yinti went from begging for mercy at the beginning to remaining silent at the end.

When it was time to send it back on the third night.

Kangxi asked him: "What do you think?"

Yinti did not answer as if angry.

Kangxi picked him up from the futon and led him up the city wall.

Yinti's legs were so numb that he couldn't stand at all.

Kangxi hugged him all the time and showed him the whole capital.

Kangxi said calmly: "Aixinjueluo is just a tribe outside the pass, and the number of people is pitifully small. Fortunately, the ancestors worked hard and finally entered the Central Plains."

"Do you know who the dynasty before us was." Kangxi's voice was always calm. "It's the Ming Dynasty. The aristocratic families of the Ming Dynasty, even the royal family and princes, all indulged in pleasure. Just like you are now."

"So they died."
