Emperor Yongzheng

Chapter 16: The Emperor vents his anger and humiliates his ministers with ulterior motives
Zhang Deming was calm and composed, looking at everyone peacefully, and suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed: "How can the aura of a noble person be the same as that of ordinary people? Ordinary people's eyes are fascinated by the five colors, so it is difficult to distinguish. This little trick will probably not trouble me!" The feather fan pointed out one by one: "The first one has a stingy body, the second has a snake-like eye, the third canopy is capped, and the fourth has a charming character exposed..." He briefly concluded one by one, until No. 11, he said: " This is the real eighth master! The white energy fills the whole room, and the strong wind blows, straight into the transparent hall! Not to mention standing among these dirty villains, even if I hide in the Forbidden City and mix among the golden branches and jade leaves, I can recognize him at a glance! "Yin was exposed by what he said. He smiled in a self-conscious manner, waved away everyone, threw away his hat, took off his green clothes, and wore a sky blue robe with gold lake crepe embroidery inside. He threw his hands away and said : "I'm sorry for you, please sit down and watch the tea!"

"The old Taoist is so mysterious!" Kuixu said with a smile, "What is qi? Why can't I see it?" "Qi, according to Confucianism, is the utensil." Zhang Deming shook his feather fan and said, "However, According to Taoists, qi is the seat of the human spirit. It is silent when heard, but tangible when viewed, but there is also a difference between turbid and clear. When Wang Mang's court star observed qi in Chang'an, he saw that in Nanyang, there was a bright red qi rising into the sky. This is why In the spirit of the emperor, thousands of Yulin troops were sent to Nanyang to dig for dragon veins. However, this man was not good at numbers and actually let Liu Xiu go, thus digging out Wang Mang's own kingly spirit, so the whole generation ended. It is difficult to know everything in the vast number of days! Yin Shuang felt disappointed and said: "This is recorded in the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty". I just don't know what kind of Qi I have." "The Ninth Master and the Tenth Master are purple Qi, Master Wang said to Master A, and Master A is Qing Qi. The Eighth Master and the Tenth Master are Qing Qi." But the Hubei army gate is full of white gas." Pointing to Ren Bo'an and the long followers outside, he said, "People like this are so messed up that they look like ashes and smoke, and they can't even speak of their Qi."

Elundai said in astonishment: "I am actually the same as the Eighth Master?" Zhang Deming sneered and said: "How can it be the same? You are just a general, carrying the evil aura of the West. The Eighth Master's white air is like a rainbow, and there are wisps of it. , Uncertainty in gathering, this is the aura of a king!" Yin thought about the news that he had been crowned king in the inner court, and his heart moved, and he moved his lips, but did not say anything.Yin shook his head, smacked his tongue, and said with an angry smile: "I don't know what the prince, fourth brother, and thirteenth brother are angry about. I'm afraid it's bad luck! Otherwise, why would we suffer from his angry attitude every day?" With one sentence, everyone burst into laughter. .Wang Hongxu also knew a little bit about the principle of the five elements creating and restraining each other. Hearing Zhang Deming's words, he was secretly convinced and couldn't help but praise: "Mr. Beautiful, talking about Tao is like drinking fine wine!"

"I'll use your words to split the characters." Zhang Deming said happily, "The eight characters for 'Mei' can be split into 'Yang Da'. 'Yang', 'Xiang', is the most auspicious character. It can also be split into 'Yang Da'." The three characters "Ba Wang Da'", today's fortune telling for the Eighth Master is beyond words." Ren Bo'an was fascinated by this and blurted out, "What about 'Jia'?" "'Jia' is the symbol of one person holding the gui, and it is also the symbol of the Eighth Lord. Painting." Zhang Deming replied, "You should still follow the Eighth Master. The Eighth Master's fortune is really precious!"

Yin smiled, and suddenly his eyes flashed, and he said: "Is it too much?" Zhang Deming said casually: "It's not too much. In fact, I have something else to say, Master Eight, you are just Baylor now. If that's the case, one person can hold the title of Prime Minister. It's okay, it's okay to be the regent. The eight kings are the most important, only for the brothers, there's nothing else." He changed his tone, and his words suddenly became extremely sharp: "If the prince joins the body, and the white energy protects the top, Then it is translated as a very precious omen, destiny is long-lasting, and human power cannot change it!"

"You fart!" Yin suddenly changed his color and hit the case hard with a "bang" sound, "I just think that you have a false reputation and just talk for fun. You dare to bark like this and trap me in an unjust and unjust way. In an unpredictable and dangerous place! Come here, tie up this unjust demon and send him to Shuntian Mansion!"

Yin people call him the Eight Wise Kings and the Eight Buddhas. He is famous for his gentle face and kind heart, and he loves virtue more than wealth.How many people have committed a heinous crime and been forced into desperation, but if they meet him by chance, they must have some compassionate arrangements. He has always been gentle, courteous, and amiable. Who has seen him so thunderous and angry?They were all frightened and stunned for a moment. They all looked pale and looked at each other. The hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.Zhang Deming was also shocked by this sudden turn of events. He immediately looked up to the sky and laughed. When he saw two long followers striding over to take action, he pointed the feather fan in his hand and said: "Duh! Don't play tricks!" The two men were actually under magic. As if, showing off his teeth and arrogance, he was locked in place!
"What a demon!" Yin Huo stood up, gritted his teeth and said with a grin, "Get the dog's blood, and please bring out the Japanese sword that Long Live gave me!" "Slow down!" Zhang Deming also stood up, took two steps leisurely, chuckled, and said : "If they agree, they will stay, if they don't agree, they will leave. Why should the Eighth Master learn from those ignorant market slaughterers? I have chosen them both. It is not magic, but it is the Samadhi Shen Qigong taught by my master personally. What is the use of dog blood? Even if I am a poor man, I will leave. , I also want to ask the eighth master, how do you think that my words are setting you up for disobedience and injustice?" Yin was furious, and he handed over the Japanese sword, snatched it with his hand and pulled it out, shook it, and the coldness was so cold that he held it in his hand. Zhang Deming said fiercely: "Then please try the sword! Let's see if your Qigong is stronger or my sword is stronger!"

Zhang Deming did not dodge, and said with a loud laugh: "Of course my sword is strong. However, Pindao and Ba Ye have a close relationship with each other. I'm afraid you will damage both of them with this sword - I will give you the evidence right now." Then he took out a small paper knife from his arms, weighed it a little, and gently touched the handle of the feather fan. He threw the knife and the fan on the ground, raised his head and said with a smile: "Ba Ye, you also have a sandalwood fan in your sleeve. Please come out and take a look." Yin smiled sinisterly, and when he took out the fan from his sleeve and looked at it, he couldn't help but be shocked. It turned out that the wooden fan had been folded in two in the middle, and the knife marks were still there!Yin's face was as white as window paper, and he lost his Japanese sword in a daze. Everyone in the audience was so frightened that their faces turned pale.

"I'm not afraid of this!" Yin said calmly and gloomily, "Evil does not invade good. How can your ideas and skills be compared to Xu Hongru, the leader of White Lotus? What do you mean by your words today? Aren't you inciting the Eighth Master to plot evil? Nowadays, the sage is supreme, the prince is virtuous, the ministers are loyal, and the king is in his position. How dare you confuse people's hearts with the theory of destiny? Speak! Otherwise... I will use the stick of the emperor's Zhu Biao to clamp you , throw it into the oil pan and fry you!"

Zhang Deming possessed strange skills, and because he was confident and fearless, he said with a smile: "If you are so loyal, why should you call the mountain people to come to the mansion to show your shame? The destiny is impermanent, the emperor has no relatives, and only virtue is the assistant: this is not Confucianism." The truth of a sage? King Jiabai is of course the 'emperor', but Baye has not yet been crowned king. If you don't become king, you will only be regent for five years at most. Just like Prince Kang who passed away the year before last, a very common thing Why make such a fuss about being sentimental?" Yin woke up from the shock, laughed loudly and said, "Mynah, you've become a jerk. This is all just for fun, who is serious about it? ? The crown prince is so holy, how could he lose his throne? If he really loses it, it won’t be considered a violation of the king’s law if other elder brothers pick it up!"

"Alas..." Yinran let out a long sigh, "Daozhang Zhang, how can this kind of thing be trivial? To be honest, some of what you said makes sense, but I neither dare to think nor listen. You have real talent and learning. , You must not always hang around among the elder brothers, sooner or later it will be a waste. Tomorrow I will go to the Ministry of Rites to tell you that Baiyun Temple does not have a presiding Taoist priest, so you can go there to clean up your cultivation!"

Zhang Deming picked up two pieces of feather fans from the ground, rubbed them with his hands, and they were restored. He clasped his palms together in a dignified manner, and said: "In the past, Zouyang Prison reported to King Huainan, 'The jade of the bright moon, the pearl of luminous light, if you throw it into people in darkness, then Do not follow the sword. I have a shallow conversation with the eighth master, so it is reasonable to deal with it. What I said is based on the theory of changes. Whether it is verified or not, it will be proved in the future. Everyone here cherishes Jingshan The jade, the pearl containing the spirit snake, are all extremely intelligent people who are destined for the world, and please wait and see-the Buddha of Infinite Life!"

After the July Festival, there were several drenching rains in succession, the autumn wind gradually picked up, and the golden valley appeared.Yinxiang, Shi Shilun and others worked harder and harder day and night. By the end of July, more than [-] million yuan had been repaid to the national treasury.Seeing the great results, Prince Yin became energetic. He went to the household department every two days and convened a meeting with Yin to supervise the Qing Dynasty and ensure that the errands were completed before October.Kangxi was originally very angry with the prince, but when he saw that he was so serious about his supervision, he gradually became calmer.It is approaching the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there are two major things to be done at this time every year. One is to supervise the provinces to collect grain, tax, and silver; the other is to interrogate criminals.The execution of the Autumn Jue "should be in response to the murderous spirit of heaven", and it is related to the national code, so it is obviously not solemn to do it in the garden.Although Kangxi was lazy, he still followed the old rules and ordered him to return to the Da Nei Yangxin Hall. He paid homage to the Ming Hall and the Temple of Heaven. He summoned the chief of the Ministry of Rites and went to the study room to discuss the affairs of Qiu Shou Chengde. He received officials during the day and kept busy at night. Guan was very busy reading the prison memorials and summoning Yin from time to time to consult on the appointment and dismissal of foreign officials. It was not until the end of early August that the backlog of documents accumulated during the summer heat was sorted out.

At this time, several new princes had issued imperial edicts on the Jin Dynasty.In addition to meeting with the banner owners, Wang Yin of Lian County distributed annual silver to the bannermen, received tribute from each imperial village, and was also responsible for preparing for the festival in the palace.Although August 15th is celebrated every year, this year marks Kangxi’s 53rd birthday.In order to make the old man happy, Yin, together with the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Rites, asked for an order that all people over 55 years old in the world would be rewarded with moon cakes, rice and wine.The people in the palace were well-distributed, making rabbits, making sweet-scented osmanthus candy, and steaming baskets of huge steamed buns and longevity peaches.More than two thousand eunuchs and maids in the Sixth Palace were full of joy, decorated with lanterns and colors, and seemed to be a busy mess.Yin took care of the flag affairs with one hand and the palace affairs with the other, and was dedicated to running the errands without leakage.Seeing that the days were getting tight and there were too many things to do, the whole family was moving together, but still felt that there were not enough manpower, so he called the housekeeper and ordered: "Invite the ninth and tenth masters to go and see what they do." He didn't say anything. After he finished, he saw Yin stepping in, because he smiled again and said: "I'm free, so you guys come here three times a day. When I want to help, there's not a soul in sight!"

"Don't call me Lao Shi, he won't come." Yin looked a little depressed, sat down, drank tea and sighed: "When it comes to being busy, it's not just you? You go to the palace every day, but you are poor. The officials couldn't see me, so they rushed to my place to hit the wooden clock. It's chilling to think about it. They are blood brothers, and the fourth child can't get a needle in or water can pour out! - How do they know our difficulties - they don't dare to say anything to me! Four old men and thirteen bad characters!"

"How did you answer?"

"I told them to go see Lord Thirteen by themselves!"

"Brother, you are wrong." Yin sighed, "These are poor people who have no excuses. They are not qualified to talk to Fourth Brother and the others. How can you chill their hearts after seeing you so easily? Besides, you said this, It's not good to show off our brotherhood in front of outsiders."

Yin sneered and said: "We are already living together, why are you pretending to be like this? You probably don't know that I just went to Lao Shi's place, and he was busy taking stock of the family property, moving all the soft objects to Dashilan and Liulichang. We have to sell to pay off the debt!" Yin was taken aback and said with a livid face: "Nonsense!"

"I think it's good to make some noise." Yinzheng looked out the window and said, "Let them taste the pain of not recognizing their relatives! - I was just surprised in my heart: How did the debt owed by the prince be repaid? I asked someone to go to the Ministry of Household Affairs Check, it’s true that he paid it back, I suspect he has used the internal funds, and there is no shortage of internal funds!”

This was something that Yin Ye couldn't understand. He even sent his nanny Qi Yabu to the northeast to secretly investigate whether the prince had dug ginseng, but to no avail.According to Yin, the prince's accounts were unclear and he couldn't complete the errands of the Ministry of Accounts.What's going on with Yin?Come to think of it, it's still a mystery that remains unsolved.After thinking about it, it suddenly occurred to me that Yin had gone too far in selling off his property. There is no guarantee that Kangxi knew that he was the mastermind. Yin stood up, waved his fan and said, "Old Shi is speechless. Let's go and take a look!" "Yin's "Sellers Pay Off Debts" plan has great momentum.This [-]-year-old brother deliberately took advantage of Yin's ugliness and took the most prosperous place in the capital. He set up a mat tent along the street near the Dalang Temple outside Qianmen. It is almost half a mile long and has a dazzling array of furniture. There are gold-lacquered cabinets and cicadas. Wing gauze tents, gold self-ringing bells, agate snuff bottles, Japanese knives, bird guns, leopard tail guns, Dongzhu, ivory, amber beads, black fox robes, various types of Cheng Kiln Jun Kiln and Ding Kiln porcelain, gold and jade Ruyi, red sandalwood screens, copper Mirror tables, Xuande stoves, mouthwash basins, coffee tables, piano tables, bookshelves, everything from household utensils to tattered shoes and socks are all available with prices marked and red stickers on them, and some are even covered with bright yellow clothes. It is obvious that they are emperors. Objects of reward.It ranges from a few taels to a few strings, to as much as [-] to [-], and the prices vary.When Yinyin arrived, there were thousands of people in front of the Dalang Temple, being pressed and suppressed.People crowded around in front of the colorful goods shed, but they all wanted to see the excitement. No one dared to pay attention. They just stood around and stared blankly. Some were whispering, some were silently lost in thought, some were sarcastic, and some were sarcastic. Covering her mouth and snickering, there are all kinds of things.Yinyin was so crowded that she was sweating. She was not paying attention when she suddenly heard people shouting: "Master Shi has stopped Mr. Shi's sedan chair. Let's go! Look!"

So the flow of people moved westward, becoming more and more crowded.Yinyin took advantage of her strength to move forward, and she saw a large green cloth sedan parked in the street. Shi Shilun's face was so pale that he was kneeling on the ground. Yinyin was holding a broken banana fan in his hand and was wearing a gray coarse cloth shirt. , was yelling: "Surnamed Shi, you are still a scholar? What son of a bitch examiner got the exam for a monster like you? No matter how bad I am, I am a yellow belt brother, a dragon son and a phoenix grandson! In front of me, you Just dare to take hold of my people!"

"Reply to Master Shi!" Shi Shilun clasped his hands and said, his voice was somewhat hoarse, "I don't know that this servant is from Master Shi's house. Since Master Ten said this, I still want to admonish Master Shi. This noble man The slave despises the court ministers and stops the sedan chair to yell and scold him. It’s because the tenth master’s upbringing is not strict!” “Hey?” Yin smiled evilly, patted his legs with a broken fan and looked around: “Isn’t it my fault? I have a good intention. Excuse me, are you worthy of my worship? You, a second-rank imperial official, swaggered past me without even getting off the sedan chair. Is this the rule Shi Langting taught you?" Only then did Yin see that there were still people around Yin. A large group of officials, ranging from ministers to ministers, all stared at the humiliated Shi Shilun with hatred, and no one tried to persuade them. They were thinking about what to do, but saw Shi Shilun swallowing a mouthful of saliva and saying, "I'm the official." It's my shortsightedness, I didn't see Master Ten..."

At this moment, Yin relieved his hatred to [-] points, slapped the broken banana fan triumphantly, and said with a sneer: "How dare you be short-sighted? You have no eyelids, and you only look at the sky but not the ground! Those who are close to ink are black, and those who are close to shit It stinks, if you jump on Gao Zhier, you will come to bully people!" Yao Dian, Liu Xie, Dang Fengen and others standing next to him all took advantage of their wishes and smiled secretly; "Persuasion" said: "Master Shi, don't be annoyed, he is just a villain, and he is angry with you that you will be rich."

"I cleared up the deficit for the country, and I never filled my own pocket. Jin Yuze, how can I be a 'little man'?" Shi Shilun trembled with anger, straightened up, and his tone became extremely tough: "Even if Master Shi said it, I wouldn't dare I agree, but I don’t understand—who is Mo? Who is shit? Who is Gao Zhi’er? Please tell me!” Yin was taken aback by him, and immediately roared like thunder: “You only recognize money but not people, you’re just a little girl. People! Despicable! The stink of copper is unbearable!" With a wave of his hand, he ordered the chief follower in the mansion: "Spit him for my father!"

When Yin saw several people from Shibeile Mansion rolling up their sleeves and arms, he knew that if he spat out, he would immediately cause a big incident that would stir up trouble in the government and the opposition, so he hurriedly shouted: "Slow down!" and pulled Yin out.There were dozens of eunuchs, chief attendants and officials from the six departments surrounding Yin. When they saw that Yin was coming, they were all startled. The black crows knelt down and said hello.The people in the market became more and more interested and crowded around him.Yinhei glared at Yin with a sullen face, snorted, walked to Shi Shilun's side in a few steps, and said softly: "Brother Fang Zhu... I've given in to you..."

... Shi Shilun's body trembled, and hot tears rolled down like beads.

"Master Shi has a sharp-tongued temper and is notorious for his impatience." Yin frowned tightly and advised softly, "I'm so shy about this matter today, so I put my hands down. You are the pillar of the imperial court, so you must be magnanimous." This is not the place to talk. I will inform the prince later and ask him to go to the door to plead guilty!" Seeing Shi Shilun kneeling in silence with tears streaming down his face, Yin stamped his feet beside him and complained: "I told you to drink less yellow soup last night. , you just don’t listen! I’m so angry with you because of your failure to live up to expectations - this is a good day, even Lao Shi is doing it!"

Yinman thought that these two brothers must speak for him, but unexpectedly they all blamed him in unison, and he was stunned. The other officials were also bored.Just as he was in a daze, Yin turned around and ordered everyone: "Hurry up and help Lao Shi get on the sedan! Lao Jiu, you personally take Mr. Fang Zhu back to Nanheng Street - why are you stunned?!" Yin's servants saw that Prince Lian was angry, and they saw The master had nothing to say, so he had no choice but to agree to come up. He helped the silent Shi Shilun get into the sedan chair, and was escorted by Yin on horseback.Yin commanded sternly like a master: "Tear down the shed and move the things back!" Yin was so angry that he stamped his feet and walked away without even saying hello.

The next day is the Mid-Autumn Festival.Kangxi slept well the first night. He got up early in the morning. He first visited the Tianqiong Palace, Zhongcui Palace, and Qin'an Palace, then went to the Dou Altar to burn incense, had breakfast, and then went to the Qianqing Palace to accept the congratulations of hundreds of officials.These are all official articles, but none of them can be spared. He sat patiently on the throne and listened to the ministers' "Ode to Longevity without Borders" one after another. It was "Yellow children and old people, sharing the blessings of prosperity and peace". It lasted for two and a half hours, and when it came down, it was already the end of the year.After dinner, Kangxi took a short rest, and saw Yin coming in and saying, "Ama, everything is ready. When will we set off, I will go to the imperial garden to let you know." Kangxi was about to reply, but saw Yang Xin Li Dequan, the eunuch in charge of the palace, brought Xing Nian and more than 70 eunuchs and maids in to pay their respects.

"Long Live Lord," Li Dequan said with a smile, "I just went to look behind, this year's [-]th is really unique! After all, Eighth Master has made a thorough mediation, and there is no one to be picky. God is also making fun of it. It's so sunny that there is no cloud at all. The moon is round and slippery, like a big moon cake, it has slowly risen, it really makes people love it more and more!"

This sentence made everyone laugh. Kangxi asked Yin: "Are all the brothers here?" Yin hurriedly bowed and said with a smile: "My son came straight in from home." He Zhu'er from the prince's place just now said that he was almost there. Now, Baba is waiting for the master! Yesterday I met the eldest and third brothers. They called their sons to ask for an order. By the way, the elder brother will bring the emperor and grandson here to bask in the favor and have a happy reunion. Long live..." "No need." Kangxi thought for a while and said, "There are more than 100 imperial grandchildren, the eldest is seventeen or eighteen years old, the youngest is only a few months old, and there are a lot of wet nurses, Shuda, girls, and old ladies. Even if you don't count, there are still a lot of them. There are 500 people, I can’t bear the noise.”

When Yin heard the word "noisy", he suddenly thought of what happened at the Dalang Temple yesterday. Yin, a weakling, shouldn't make trouble again tonight, right?He couldn't help but feel panic in his heart, and hurriedly said: "If you don't have any other instructions, I'll have to look behind you. Maybe the prince has gone to the imperial garden, so I'd better just wait for him." Kangxi smiled and nodded: "You You know how to be polite, go ahead. See if Wu Dan is here among the guards. If not, ask him to come in and enjoy the moon together." Yin agreed repeatedly and hurriedly left.

The entrance to the imperial garden was already filled with trees and silver flowers. Since it was not appropriate to light up the lanterns while admiring the moon in the garden, Yin came up with his own idea.Under the white marble steps in front of the garden, [-] glass lanterns are used to form a pattern of two dragons playing with beads. Along the wall, under the glazed yellow tiles, small and exquisite palace lanterns are hung every one foot. The five colors of red, yellow, blue, purple and green are confusing, which is both spectacular and unusual. rigid.Yin rushed to the gate of the garden. The eldest brother Yin and the third brother Yin Zhi were talking to Wu Dan, the governor of Zhili. Yin smiled from afar and said: "Uncle Wu, just now Long live the Lord said that he has sent an order to invite you!" Then he came closer, took Wu Dan's hand and said: "You are in your sixties this year, right? Your face is red and you are so energetic, it makes people look red!" Wu Dan laughed and said: "This slave is a man who uses his strength but not his mind. He's just a common man, what's there to make people jealous?" After a while of greetings, Yin asked: "Are all the brothers here?"

"It's almost the same." Yin looked at Yin with a smile and said, "I didn't look carefully. It was just a mess. Only then did I get a clue." Yin still couldn't figure it out, and looked in while talking. Yinzhi said with a smile : "If you are busy, just go in first. We don't want to follow the rules and come out to hide and talk to Uncle Wu. Also, you have to guard against Old Shi, the iron-headed hozen, causing trouble. Before I entered the palace, he sent someone I ignored him when he went to my house to borrow his clothes. Aren’t I crazy? Yesterday I made a fuss in the Dalang Temple, and now I’m making a fuss inside. I won’t be able to live on August [-]th!"

Yin was getting more and more busy. He nodded to the three of them and entered the garden.It turns out that the male Zhao and the female Mu have already arranged their shifts: headed by the west concubine Niu Hulu, followed by Hui concubine Nalan, Rong concubine Ma Jia, De concubine Wu Ya, Yi concubine Guo Luo Luo, and Cheng concubine Dai Jia. , Dingfei Wanliuha, Mifei Wang, Qinfei Chen, Xiangfei Gao, and more than a dozen who have not yet given birth to a prince, such as Chen, Sehetu, Shi, Chen, etc. , there was also a newly selected Zheng Chunhua, who was just a concubine - but Yin knew that she had a very ambiguous relationship with the prince Yin - stood with a group of lower-class concubines who had promised to stay, wearing a blue satin cheongsam and a high comb " "Zitou", feet on the "bottom of the flower pot", all standing with their hands down.Headed by Prince Yin in the east, next to him are Yin, Yin, Yinzuo, Yin, Yin, Yin, Yinxiang, Yin, Yin, Yinlu, Yinli, Yin, Yin, Yin, the big ones are 35, with long beards hanging down. Her breasts, which are small at the corner, are pink and jade-like. More than 400 respectable eunuchs and maids also separated their belongings according to their rooms: all the women were in beautiful display, all the men were in high spirits, and they all stood in a dignified manner. Only the 21 unmarried Princesses Heshuo were the spoiled guests. He seemed more casual, chatting and laughing non-stop.

After looking around, there was no sign of Yin. Yin deeply regretted not chatting with him more yesterday, but there was no point in being anxious at this time, so he had to deal with the situation - maybe Yin claimed to be sick and couldn't come, or maybe he wouldn't dare to cause trouble if he came. ...I was thinking wildly in my heart, but I saw Yinyinzhi quickly walking in and returning to his shift.Then I heard Li Dequan sing loudly: "The Emperor Kangxi has arrived!"
