Chapter 470 New Year
The brothers are full of resentment, especially the Fifteenth Prince!
Who made him the most confident as the elder brother? As early as when he heard that the Eighteenth Brother had traveled more than 200 miles to bring his Fourth Brother and Sixteenth Brother back to Beijing, he boasted to his wife.
In the end, after all the anticipation, everything was in vain.
Not to mention 200 miles, not even 200 steps! He didn't even see the shadow of his brother!
After finally returning to the palace, he couldn't help but be sarcastic to the brat.
Yinzhen explained aggrievedly: "It's not that my brother is unwilling to treat everyone equally, but it's strictly forbidden by Khan Ama. Sixteenth brother can testify~"
Uh-huh.
The Sixteenth Prince nodded quickly, not daring to even have the slightest thought of betraying his brother.
She was afraid that the little guy would bring up the past again and make his mother interested in arranging a marriage for him.
But he didn't want to get married yet. He was looking forward to joining hands with his fourth brother to go to the Japanese and Korean provinces to promote the policy of local rule!
With his endorsement, the Fifteenth Prince was instantly relieved: He just said so!
As a biological brother with the same father and mother, how could he be inferior to the fourth brother in his younger brother's heart?
Concubine Mi was too lazy to watch how the brothers were jealous and sour. She only looked at her daughter-in-law with concern. She asked her about everything since she became pregnant, and sent a stream of rewards to the Fifteenth Prince's residence.
She also temporarily sent Nanny Xin, who had taken care of her for many years and helped her give birth to three princes in succession, over there.
Just to serve her well and help her give birth to a little grandson or granddaughter smoothly.
I really want to think of everything for the young couple.
However, unlike what the Fifteenth Lady had worried about, she did not give the Fifteenth Prince two beautiful women under the pretext of sharing the burden with her.
Just like Empress Defei in her early years.
As soon as the fourth sister-in-law became pregnant, a beautiful and charming Han woman was given to her.
Too……
The Fifteenth Lady sneered in her heart, and at the same time, because of this control group, she became more respectful and closer to her own mother-in-law.
Seeing this, Concubine Mi became even more delighted, and the already harmonious relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law became even better.
Who wouldn’t envy the concubines in each palace who have children?
However, Kangxi loved his fifteenth son very much and intended to arrange a beautiful woman for him.
Fifteenth Prince was so frightened that he fell to his knees and said, "I appreciate your kindness, Khan, but I absolutely cannot do this at this time! My wife is pregnant, and I wish I could sift every ant in the mansion one by one."
"If someone comes into the mansion at this time, what if he is a careless person and harms the wife and her unborn baby?"
No no no.
The Fifteenth Prince said that he could not afford the loss and would never allow Khan Ama's wise reputation to be tainted in any way.
Really, he elevated rejecting a concubine to the level of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism.
Yin Xuan, who heard the news later, couldn't help but silently give him a thumbs up: "Not bad, not bad. With this kind of self-discipline, if he can get rid of his laziness, my fifteenth brother will definitely have a bright future. 】
Fifteenth Prince: ...
Every time he heard his younger brother use the word "lazy", he felt embarrassed as if the cause of death was being announced to him in person.
Shame, so shameful.
His handsome face felt like it was on fire, so he quickly changed the subject and asked about the cameras that were all the rage in Beijing recently.
Hey.
When talking about this, Yinzhen's face was full of pride: "Today, the Japanese country is rampant, and they dare to insult our Qing Dynasty and hurt my tenth brother. This makes me so angry that I want to put on armor and fight in person to kill them."
"My brother asked for permission several times, but Khan Ama refused."
"It caused me to be unable to fight with my brothers and witness the great moment when the country of Wa became the province of Wa. So I had to settle for the next best thing and worked non-stop with Mr. Huang and others to tinker with this camera."
Apart from "amazing", the Fifteenth Prince didn't know what else to say.
Yin Xuan waved his hand nonchalantly, "It's just a small matter. It's nothing compared to the breech-loading rifled cannon and the improved chariot of the Invincible General."
[When the train starts running and can carry one or two thousand people to distant places at the same time, you will understand what a groundbreaking feat is!]
what's that?
Not only the fifteenth prince, but Kangxi and his other sons were also dumbfounded.
In the past, they had only heard the little guy brag countless times about how great and capable this train was, but they never imagined that a train could transport one or two thousand people!
This……
Doesn't this mean that five or six trains can transport tens of thousands of elite soldiers?
Within a day or two, you can reach any place in the Qing Dynasty where there are railways. Then...
Why worry about the emperor being far away?
The day when railways are laid all over the country will be the day when the imperial court will be able to firmly control all the territories under its jurisdiction and not allow any point to escape from the imperial court.
Just thinking about it made Kangxi's heart surge.
I wish time would fly by and the birthday festival would be here in the blink of an eye.
But time is a strange thing. The more you fear that it will pass away easily, the more it will slip away quietly like running water.
The more I hope it passes quickly, the longer it becomes.
There is even a subtle sense of passing the day like a year.
Look, Kangxi waited and waited, and finally the New Year came.
Kangxi got up at midnight and first went to the Qin'an Hall to pay homage to the Zhenwu Emperor, then kowtowed and checked in at the Dou'an Hall and the Tianqiong Hall.
Then there is the Fengxian Hall and the Tiandixiang Pavilion.
After worshipping gods in the Cining Palace and burning incense in the Qianqing Palace, and a long round of similar activities, he would lead the ministers to pay New Year's greetings to the Empress Dowager.
It really started from midnight until early the next morning.
After that, he had to go to the Qianqing Palace to receive greetings from ministers inside and outside the palace, and then receive greetings from concubines in the harem and princes and princesses.
It was not until the morning that I was able to eat a few bites of dumplings.
Tsk tsk.
It’s hard work!
Yin Xuan couldn't help but say: "As expected, being an emperor is the hardest job in the world. You have to get up earlier than a chicken, sleep later than a dog, and work harder than an ox. There are also restrictions on how you walk, sit, or lie down. If you are not careful, you will be praised or criticized in history books."
[Kangxi's father is so tired, and he has to find time to write blessing characters for the ministers! He also has to attend the palace banquet, and...]
cough cough.
If he didn't interrupt him with a few coughs, Kangxi was afraid that he would cry again during the New Year.
But he never expected that he had managed to avoid Yinzhen's complaints with great difficulty, but turned around and fell into the trap of his eldest grandson's New Year gift.
At that time, there was singing and dancing, and the atmosphere was extremely lively. The princes competed to present gifts and wish a happy new year.
Hongxi, the eldest grandson of the emperor, came out from behind all the other princes and said, "Father said that my grandson is now engaged and has a job in the court. I should be listed separately to show my filial piety to you, Khanmafa."
"I agree with this statement, but I am a little nervous as this is my first time preparing. Please forgive me if there is anything I am not considerate of."
Kangxi was already very happy that his good grandson had such thoughts, so how could he blame him?
Even though he only presented a few standard items and a photo album, Kangxi smiled in approval, and took the album to look through it carefully.
As I watched, tears began to roll down my eyes.
