Clearly, she doesn't want to be a concubine

In October, Kangxi really did as he said, appointing the fourteenth son Yinzhen as the general of Fuyuan, leading the army, stationed in Qinghai, and crusading Cewang Arabtan.

Kangxi named him the king of the generals, and set out on the standard of the emperor's own conquest, using the banner of the Zhenghuang flag, just like the king's banner.

In the same month, Kangxi said to the king and ministers discussing politics: "Seeing that the Manchurian capital of the Zhenglan Banner, Yanxin, is going to send troops, the matter of the Manchurian, Mongolian, and Han armies will be handled by the seventh elder brother Yinyou.

Zhenghuang Banner Manchuria is in charge of Basel, acting as the general's affairs in Heilongjiang. The affairs of the three banners of Manchuria, Mongolia, and Han are handled by Elder Brother Ten.

Zhengbai Banner's Manchurian capital unified and sent to Yunnan, and the affairs of the Manchurian, Mongolian, and Han armies were handled by the twelve princes.

In this way, don't follow the example of the flag, and you must work hard and work hard. "

Then, push it to the flags.

This is a conspiracy, and all the flags have to follow.

Later, Yinyou, the king of Duoluochun County, was in charge of the affairs of the blue flag.

Yin, the king of Dorodon County, is in charge of the affairs of the Yellow Banner.

Twelve Beizi Yinzhen is in charge of the affairs of the white flag.

He once again consolidated the imperial power and put the power of the Eight Banners in the hands of the royal family.

His eyes are always on the world.

For the rest, although he is interested in looking sideways, if he blocks his imperial ambitions, he will only be abandoned by him.

Before Yinzhen left, although he was still brooding, he still came to see Umalu and bid farewell to Umalu.

He bowed and said, "Emiang, I'm going on a long journey soon, so I'm here to say goodbye to you."

"A sword has no eyes, so protect yourself carefully." Umalu told him, "Put on the red rope and jade buckle I begged for you on Mount Wutai."

Yinzhen smiled and said, "Okay."

He boasted a little: "This is the first time the emperor has entrusted me with such a big task in these years."

He said to Umalu: "Emiang, you probably don't know. I played truant when I was young, and the emperor told me a lot. At that time, I vowed to be the general king and defend the territory for the emperor."

He laughed and said, "I didn't expect the emperor to remember it."

He is like a child who wants to be praised by his parents: "The emperor made me the king of the general, so amazing."

Umalu laughed and said, "It's amazing, my son is not amazing. When you come back victorious, Emiang will congratulate you."

Yinzhen nodded: "OK."

He knelt on the ground cautiously, held Umalu's hand, and said, "I know that the emperor asked me to go to separate me from myna and the others."

He whispered: "I also know that the actions of the eighth brother, the ninth brother, and the tenth brother made the emperor very unhappy. But I can't feel sorry for them."

He said: "Ninth brother knew that I was going to fight and worried about my safety, so he already gave me ten thousand taels of silver. Fourth brother didn't say anything."

Yinzhen sighed and said, "Emiang, tell me how should I choose."

Umalu was silent.

Things in this world are never black and white.

They all did their best in this field of grievances.

But that's all there is to it.

He kowtowed to Umalu and apologized: "Emiang, I know I'm sorry for you, but I can't help it."

Umalu touched his forehead: "There is no need to say sorry between family members. I will always be your mother-in-law, your imperial father and your fourth brother. We are all waiting for your triumphant return in the capital."

Yinzhen got up, wiped away his tears, and showed that cheerful smile again: "Okay, on the day of my triumphant return, I will use my military merits to ask the emperor for a noble concubine for my mother."

Umalu smiled and said, "You child."

She corrected her expression: "War is not a joke. The general is incompetent and affects the whole army. When you lead troops to fight, you have to think more and think more. Those soldiers are also people with families and families. Don't let them go in vain. life."

Yinzhen nodded: "Don't worry, Er Niang, I will remember everything."

Umalu smiled: "Go, I'll wait for you to come back."

She stood at the door and watched Yinzhen leave.

She is in the world's most luxurious golden cage, watching everyone rushing towards their own destiny non-stop.

In December, Yinzhen set out to command the Western Expedition.

Before his trip, Kangxi sent people to copy the "Kangxi Imperial Yu Quanpan Map" which was produced only this year, on which the detailed topography of the Qing Dynasty was drawn, in order to gain some opportunities for him.

It's not that Yinzhen is not moved, he couldn't let go of the emperor's father and Erniang in his heart, when he bid farewell to Yinhu and the others, he repeatedly told Yinzhen that the emperor's father and Erniang were in trouble, so send a message as soon as possible.

Yinzhen nodded repeatedly and agreed.

On the day of the trip, Kangxi held a grand farewell ceremony for him.

Those who set off for the expedition, Prince Baylor and below, all wore military uniforms and gathered in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

The prince Baylor and the ministers of the second rank and above who did not go to the war all wore python suits and gathered outside the Meridian Gate.

Yinzhen knelt to accept the imperial seal, thanked En and saluted, followed the imperial seal and left the Meridian Gate, rode out of Tiananmen Square, and went by Deshengmen.

All the clans and ministers above the second rank were sent to the private soldiers.

Yinzhen looked back at the city gate, kowtowed and saluted, and walked in austerity.

The team drifted away.

Umalu watched from a distance on the wall of the Forbidden City.

Of course she couldn't see anything.

She is too far away from her son.

Yin Shuang'er was puzzled and said: "Master, if you are worried about the little master, just ask the emperor not to let the little master go. The emperor loves the little master and will definitely agree."

Umalu said softly, "He chose it."

Umalu looked at her: "Shuang'er, how can I deprive a person of his own thoughts? Whether it's in the name of love or not, it shouldn't be."

Yin Shuang'er didn't understand, but she knew that her master never missed it.

She smiled and said, "What the master said must be true."

Umalu knew she didn't understand, so he didn't blame her, and said with a smile: "Let's go, let's go back."

Yin Shuang'er helped her back to the palace.

On the sixth day of December, Empress Xiaohui Borzigit's second anniversary died.

Kangxi ordered Yinzhen, Prince Heshuoyong, Yinqi, Prince Heshuoheng, and the seventeenth elder brother Yinli to go to Fengxian Hall to salute on their behalf.

After Yinzhen set off, Kangxi felt guilty after all, and then sent an order to the Mongolian prince of Qinghai.

The imperial decree said: "The Great General is my prince. He is indeed a good general. He leads the army. He knows that he has the ability to lead troops, so he is in charge of the important task of life and death. Whether it is military affairs or matters large or small, you should strictly follow the instructions of the Great General. If you can work hard with sincerity, it will be the same as my face-to-face instruction. You should only be in harmony, keep your body and mind as one, and work hard.”

Even so, Kangxi became more and more worried. He said: "In the past, I took all his brothers with him when they went to the battlefield. This time, he went by himself... I often worry that he won't be able to suffer this crime."

But he had no choice.

After several times of apprehension, Kangxi discussed with Umalu: "It's really not possible, why don't we take Fourteen's child into the palace for a few days."

"You decide."

Kangxi did what he said. During Yinzhen's Western Expedition, Kangxi often took his sons with him and rewarded him more.

In this way, Kangxi's guilt was slightly relieved.

On December 28th, during the Spring Festival, it was the official canonization ceremony for several concubines with children.

Borjijite Baoyin, the concubine of Xianfu Palace, was officially conferred the title of Concubine Xuan.

The Hepin Guerjia family was promoted to the concubine.

Dai Jiachengyue, the concubine of Cheng, was promoted to concubine Cheng.

Wang Yunjin Wang Guiren was promoted and canonized as a secret concubine.

The Chen family, who gave birth to the seventeenth elder brother Yinli, was promoted and canonized as Qin concubine.

And Wanliuha Liuyan is the fixed concubine.

After canonization.

As the head of the Yonghe Palace, Umalu naturally sent someone to send a congratulatory gift.

Now, including Umalu, there are eight concubines and three concubines.

Although a concubine can be the head of the harem, there are too many concubines and not so many palaces.

The three concubines also stayed in the hall where they originally lived, but changed from the original room to a larger room.

After everything was done, Wanliu Haliuyan finally found time to meet Umalu, jokingly said: "If you don't canonize it early, you won't be canonized later, why is it at this time?"

She deliberately said: "Could it be that my sister is responsible for this?"

Uma Luqi said: "This is the emperor's own plan, what does it have to do with me."

"There are four people in the Yonghe Palace, and two of the six canonized people." She winked and said, "Is there really no credit for my sister? The sixth princess's biological mother is just a noble person now, and she is too old. Why? Without her."

"The emperor is talking about the concubines with sons, probably not the sixth princess's biological mother." Umalu replied.

"What about Gao Zaiyi, who has been favored in recent years?"

"Didn't the emperor talk about concubines aged between 60 and [-]? Gao Changzai is only about [-] years old now." Umalu replied.

"Then Concubine Xuan has never been pregnant, why is she here?" Wan Liuha Liuyan pressed her every step of the way.

Umalu snorted, "Then you ask the emperor, what does it have to do with me?"

Wan Liuha Liuyan teased her: "Except Concubine Yi and sister, how many dare to ask the emperor."

She deliberately said: "Oh, who knows, even if my sister doesn't know anything, maybe the emperor is looking at my sister's face."

Umalu thought it was funny, and replied to her: "This is a matter discussed between the emperor and the noble concubine, what does it have to do with me? Even if you have to find some excuses, you might as well put the credit on the children."

She laughed and said, "I've heard that Twelve has been doing things in a decent way recently."

"Yes." Wanliuha Liuyan said with a smile after hearing the words: "Yinxuan has done a good job recently. When he was walking in the palace, he saw me and gave me some jewelry. No, I will bring it to my sister today." Yet."

Wan Liuha Liuyan asked the palace servants to present a jewelry box, which contained some precious gold hairpin and jade bracelets.

Umalu refused to accept it, and said: "This is Yinzhen's filial piety, where can I ask for it, you take it back."

Wanliuha Liuyan hurriedly pulled Umalu to accept it, and said: "I have been in the palace for many years, and I have been taken care of by my sister, so what is yours and mine. My sister should accept it."

Umalu was silent.

Wan Liuha Liuyan pretended to be displeased and said: "My sister blindly gives, but I don't want to take it. I'm afraid I will feel ashamed when I meet with my sister in the future. It's better to have less contact."

Umalu smiled and said, "You are also a talker."

She asked Yin Shuang'er to take the things.

The two chatted and said: "Now that Yinxuan has more things to take care of, I'm afraid I will see you less often."

Wan Liu Ha Liuyan nodded and said: "Fortunately, I didn't see him many days before, but now I'm used to it."

Umalu sighed: "I have wronged you."

Wanliuha Liuyan shook her head, she asked all the palace people in the house to go down, and after getting Umalu's order, the palace people left.

Wan Liuha Liuyan asked in a low voice: "Is it really okay with my sister? Leaving aside Concubine Xuan and Concubine Qin, Concubine He has been on good terms with her sister in recent years; Concubine Cheng's seventh elder brother Yinyou, according to Yinxuan, once I am also close to the fourth child; the secret concubine and I are originally from my sister's palace."

"Sister, I don't want to ask for an explanation, but I have been thinking about it for a long time, and I want to ask my sister if she is right."

Although Umalu knew what Kangxi was thinking, many things were beyond the reach of outsiders. For the sake of Wanliuha Liuyan, she only told: "It's better for us not to participate in the affairs of the previous dynasty."

They are concubines, as long as they don't commit some heinous crimes.

The killing of life and death in the previous dynasty has nothing to do with them.

In this world, it is always good to be wise and protect yourself.

If you interfere with anything, you will only hurt yourself.

"Okay." Wan Liuha Liuyan is not one to listen to persuasion. She and Umalu have known each other for many years, and they have a deep sisterhood. After hearing what Umalu said, she didn't ask any more.

The two talked for a while.

When Wanliuha Liuyan left, Umalu asked Yin Shuang'er to send some medical books she had prepared.

Wanliuha Liuyan has taught herself medical skills in recent years, and Umalu will send her some medical books that she occasionally gets.

This is already the norm, Wan Liuha Liuyan has nothing to shirk.

When she left, Umalu was thinking about what she just said.

Umalu didn't think about it at first, but according to what she said, it seemed to make sense.

The canonization of Concubine Xuan was firstly because of the empress dowager's death, and Kangxi felt guilty and gave him honor; secondly, I am afraid that he and the concubine Qin were the same smoke that concealed Kangxi's intentions.

Kangxi is good at planning, and he will never reveal his true intentions until the last step.

The rest are related to her or Yinzhen.

Perhaps, he was trying to create momentum for Yinzhen.

It's just that after experiencing the incident with Prince Yinreng, he will no longer show his favoritism blatantly.

Kangxi is old, he no longer has the energy to be as brave and diligent as when he was young.

He became more cunning and suspicious, cautious, and he slowly weaved the hunting net, waiting for the catch.

Before that, no matter how many preys were dangling in front of his eyes, he just pretended not to see them.

He has enough patience.

Umalu shook his head lightly, unwilling to think about it any more.

She looked up at the sky, the clouds piled up, neither good nor bad.

who cares.

When all the dust is gone, you will naturally know what's going on.

She didn't ask, and Kangxi didn't mention it.

The matter of concubine concubine seems to have never caused any waves in the previous court and harem.

In 1719 AD, the 58rd year of Kangxi.

In February, Kangxi worshiped in Yuanqiu, after the worship was completed.

Kangxi ordered Yinzhi to salute.

Yinzhi went to Kangxi to accuse him at night, and cried repeatedly: "My son has no intention of competing for the throne, so I ask the emperor to learn from him."

Kangxi looked at him with a faint smile: "You really don't want it?"

"I don't want it, I don't want it."

Kangxi looked at him meaningfully, and said lightly: "That's good."

Kangxi spoke slowly: "It's because you don't want to fight, it's not because I don't want to give."

"Yes Yes."

"Go down."

"Yes, my son is leaving."

Yinzhi went out, covered in cold sweat.

He glanced back, and a thought arose in his heart, what if he had answered that he wanted to fight?
