MTL - Female Official In the East Palace-Chapter 138
The Qingxi Bookstore in Changchun Garden was Kangxi's bedroom. Rong Xin accompanied the emperor Sun Hongzhao to live here with Kangxi.
However, Kangxi was busy with political affairs, unless he specially allocated time, he would only have time to spend with the eldest grandson sooner or later.
Come with Hesheli Keqi with the child.
Hong Zhao is a few months old and doesn't understand anything at all, but when he sees his Ama and his uncles wading in the mud, he will giggle and clap his hands.
Kangxi is very indulgent with his grandson, so he will take over at this time, pointing to one of his embarrassed sons to make his grandson laugh, as if he is the grandson of an ordinary family.
The foundation is moist and rainy. On this day, Kangxi stayed in the dormitory to handle government affairs, and the eldest grandson of the emperor could not leave the house.
humming.
& nbsp;
"How can the eldest grandson of the emperor be the same?" Xue Qing distinguished, "Our eldest grandson is very smart, and I seem to be smarter than when His Highness was so old."
Rong Xin taught Xueqing to hug the eldest grandson, she put on a long gown for him, dressed him, and put on a melon cap for him, and then lightly tapped the little nose of the eldest grandson , said with a smile: "Our eldest grandson has a good Ama and a good mother, so it's natural to be out of blue."
Hong Zhao giggled as he kicked his feet.
Rong Xin's eyebrows and eyes are gentle, "I really like to laugh."
Xue Qing looked down at the eldest grandson with a bright face, and said, "This should be with our Crown Princess, the Crown Princess has the most hearty temperament."
Rong Xin nodded in agreement, the prince's outwardly good temper was developed over many years, but the prince concubine, bathed in the favor of the elders since childhood, has a very good temperament.
And such a woman brings vitality and warmth to the prince and their children, and even the Yuqing Palace, which is rare.
Rong Xin hugged the eldest grandson by the window and said to the palace maid, "Bring me another thin blanket."
The palace maid took back the blanket and put Rong Xin on the emperor's eldest grandson, and then ordered the window to be opened. The pope's eldest grandson sat in her arms and watched the rain outside.
When a few drops of rain fell on Hong Zhao's face, Hong Zhao was stunned for a few seconds, then laughed happily.
In order to prevent the rain from splashing on the emperor's eldest grandson, Rong Xin raised a hand slightly to block his face, not wanting Hong Zhao to take her hand away and reach for the banana leaf.
The bananas transplanted in Changchun Garden are all specially cultivated by people. They can only be seen in Changchun Garden in summer, but not in the Forbidden City.
At this time, Hong Zhao would grab the water droplets with his small hands, and whether he caught it or not, there would be a series of crisp laughter unique to a baby.
This season is rainy and sultry, not cold at all, so Rong Xin is not afraid that he will catch a cold when he touches the water, just protect him not to fall down.
Rainy days will teach people to feel peaceful, but peace is short-lived. Not long after enjoying the rain, there was a sound of smashing things in the main hall of Kangxi.
When the eldest grandson heard the sound, he immediately ignored the grasp of the banana leaf, leaned his neck and turned his ears to listen, and his small eyes also stared at the direction of the sound.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the officials filed out, all of them bowed their heads and bowed their bodies, and they didn't dare to open their umbrellas.
Rong Xin was surprised that Kangxi's Qi-nourishing skills were quite good, but he was not such a tyrannical emperor.
Xue Qing looked at them and wondered: "What's wrong..."
Of course Rong Xin couldn't answer, looked out at the falling rain and said, "You look after the eldest grandson of the emperor. I'm worried that the prince will get rained, so go and hold an umbrella for him."
Xue Qing immediately took over the eldest grandson obediently, and after Rong Xin got up, she took her place and sat at the window again.
While waiting for the palace maid to find the oil-paper umbrella, Rong Xin instructed Xueqing: "Don't stay in front of the window for too long, and take the eldest grandson back to the house in a moment and a half."
"Good."
Rong Xin held three umbrellas and stood in the corridor for a while, before seeing the prince and the elder brother coming out of the main room, looking at the expressions of the two, the elder brother's face was a little heavier , while the prince looked at the elder brother from time to time.
At this time, Rong Xin saw that Xiaotangzi, Xiaozhuzi and others were all carrying umbrellas, but usually when the palace attendants held umbrellas for the master, they could only get drenched in the rain, so , Rong Xin still walked over with an umbrella.
The prince and elder brother noticed Rong Xin and stopped under the corridor.
"Auntie."
"Auntie."
Rong Xin did not directly ask what happened here, but smiled: "Just now I watched those ministers walk away in the rain, and I was worried that you would be in the rain too. I've been thinking too much, Xiaotangzi and Xiaozhuzi are both attentive."
The prince looked at the three umbrellas in her hand and asked with a smile, "Does my aunt want to give me and my eldest brother a ride?"
"In Changchun Garden, it's better to see each other every day in the palace, it's okay to send one or the other." Rong Xin said, glanced at the elder brother, and invited, "Damn Your Highness doesn't mind if I drag you and the Crown Prince to walk in the rain with an umbrella?"
The big brother laughed, "I don't mind."
The dark color between his brows remained unchanged, Rong Xin pretended he couldn't see it, and handed them two oil-paper umbrellas.
Wet everyone's hem and shoes.
Rong Xin said in disbelief, "The left and right sides are also wet, so I'll go back later and change."
The prince guessed that Auntie heard it, and she must have been very concerned. She pointed to a pavilion by the back lake and said, "Why don't you rest here and go back when the rain is a little lighter."
Rong Xin and the elder brother did not object, so the three came to the pavilion, and the palace attendants stood quietly under another pavilion for fishing not far away.
The eldest brother stood in the pavilion with his hands behind his back, watching the rain in the lake hit Xia He, and said expressionlessly: "The imperial censor impeached me today, disregarding the law, abusing private power, and acting willfully. "
Rong Xin's pupils slightly opened, she turned to the prince, and when he saw him nodding lightly, he knew it was true, and he really taught people to catch the handle.
But how? The elder brother has a slightly irritable temper, but he is not the kind of person who ignores the law.
"What's the misunderstanding?"
The prince did not follow her to look at the eldest brother. The eldest brother had explained this to the emperor before, so he knew the reason.
The eldest brother listened to Rong Xin's words, and after a moment of silence, he shook his head, "It's not a misunderstanding, I did do something wrong, and I deserve to be scolded by Emperor Emma."
This…
He didn't make any excuses, but taught Rong Xin what to say, but was really curious about what he did.
At this time, the prince explained: "The imperial censor impeached, and the elder brother privately ordered Dai Zi, a former official of the Ministry of Industry to be brought back from Shengjing.
"Dai Zi?" Rong Xin sounded a little familiar, but after thinking about it, she didn't come up with the reason.
Until the prince explained: "This man has a long history and is very talented in firearms manufacturing. He imitated the Flang machine on the 5th day, and built the son and mother cannon on the 8th. This is the battle of Ulan Butong. A mighty general cannon that plays a great role."
Rong Xin suddenly realized, and suddenly remembered who this person was. After all, the "Mighty General" named by Kangxi himself had been discussed in the capital for a long time, and even the palace was amazed.
"Why was he exiled?"
The eldest brother still didn't say a word, and the prince explained to her: "I fought with others and filed a lawsuit, and this person is usually a bit arrogant and upright, and offended a lot of the court. people."
The word arrogant and arrogant is quite strange. Ordinary people usually do not have the confidence to do so, but talented people with such qualifications will make people jealous or even hate, and it has nothing to do with whether he is high-profile or not.
The elder brother listened to what the prince said, but there was not much shame on his face.
Rong Xin thought for a while, and then tentatively asked: "This person is a firearm maker, what does your Highness think?"
The big brother turned around, glanced at the prince, and said, "Our army suffered heavy losses in the battle of Ulan Butong. It has been half a year since the battle, and we still haven't been able to recuperate."
The prince nodded and agreed: "The treasury is not rich, and the last two years have not been a year of great harvests, so the people are extremely taxed and miserable. If the war continues for a long time, I am afraid they will be disaster."
This disaster is both natural and man-made. There are precedents in all dynasties and dynasties. Therefore, what the prince said is not an alarmist.
"Recuperation is not achieved in a day, and firearms improvement is not a day's work, but it does not delay the simultaneous progress." The elder brother said, "Dai Zi is not a major sin, and he has this talent, why? Can't use him eclectically?"
"Auntie doesn't know anything." The prince shook his head helplessly and said, "Among the people that Dai Zi offended at the beginning was Huang Ama's Western-school teacher Nan Huairen, and Nan Huairen has been around for many years. The Qing Dynasty made a lot of achievements, so Huang Ama did not hesitate to exile him at that time."
Rong Xin never thought of this reason, and it was said from the prince's mouth.
Kangxi is indeed extremely arrogant at times, but he is also partial to those close to him. Since the prince and elder brother entered the court, he has been strict, but they are always different .
Rong Xin sighed and said: "You are the emperor's favored sons, even if your intention is to do your best for the society, but you are so speculating on the emperor's heart and doing things in private behind the emperor's back, how not to teach Are people sad?"
"Your Highness, how did the emperor punish you?"
The two of them were already shaking their heads because of her words. At this time, when the elder brother heard Rong Xin's question, he said in a trance: "Emperor Emma only reprimanded me in public, without punishment. …”
Rong Xin stared at him, then turned to the prince.
The prince immediately got up and said, "I haven't seen Hong Zhao today, so I need to go back and see him again."
Rong Xin did not persuade the eldest brother, but just held up his umbrella and said, "The rain has not diminished for a long time, so I can only send His Highness here."
When Rong Xin walked out of the pavilion, he heard the movement behind him, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
After the prince and elder brother returned to the Qingxi Bookstore, they were immediately stopped by Liang Jiugong under the corridor.
Liang Jiugong bowed to the two of them and respectfully said: "His Royal Highness, Your Highness, the Emperor has a life, I will not summon the two Highnesses today, and I will order His Highness to move out after returning to Beijing. Brother opened a mansion and fined him half a year's salary."
The eldest brother was stunned, then bowed and saluted at Huang Ama's door, accepted the penalty and retire.
The crown prince was also not allowed to be summoned by Huang Ama. Thinking of his previous excuse, he said to Rong Xin, "I'll go see Hongzhao."
Liang Jiugong took a wrong step to block in front of the prince, and said embarrassingly: "Report to His Royal Highness, the emperor is now in the house of the emperor's eldest grandson."
The implication is that if the emperor does not see the prince, the prince cannot see the eldest grandson of the emperor.
The prince felt a sense of disaster for a while, so he looked at the culprit and said seriously: "Brother, Huang Ama is not in the room, you just made a mistake."
The eldest brother glared at the prince fiercely, his eyes clearly meant that it was impossible to salute the house of the emperor's eldest grandson, and then he flung his sleeves and strode away.
The prince followed, holding an umbrella and stepping into the rain.
The two of them left, but Rong Xin was the one who took care of the eldest grandson of the emperor and had to enter the house. In the house, Kangxi was holding the eldest grandson of the emperor, and there was not much anger on his face.
Rong Xin saluted properly, and then stood aside.
Kangxi squeezed the small fist of the emperor's eldest grandson and asked lightly, "Did you persuade the elder brother?"
"The emperor is very careful."
I know they will definitely come back again."
"Knowing son Mo Ruofu..." Rong Xin felt that something was wrong after he finished speaking, so he changed his words, "Eldest brother is upright but filial, I just want to be wrong, not intentionally to anger the emperor."
"Even the crown prince pleads for him.
As a result, Rong Xin did not reply to this, and remained silent.
Kangxi picked up Hongzhao, looked at his eldest grandson lovingly, and said, "It is still my grandson who is well-behaved and sensible, but your Ama and uncle are getting more and more worried now, half a point is not as good as Teaching people to like it as a child.”
Rong Xin recalls the past, the prince is just that, when the elder brother was young... he was very bearable?
As for the eldest grandson of the emperor who is well-behaved and sensible...Rong Xin don't open his eyes, let's look at it in a few years, it's still too early.
