Chapter 162 Wishes
Ulan was on the side holding a knife and peeling the freshly picked apples like playing, watching the smirk of the master and the prince standing over there, with her head lowered and the corners of her lips curled up.
In front of the master, almost everyone can keep their original intentions.How majestic is His Royal Highness the crown prince outside, who doesn't praise him inside and outside the palace?But he still acts like a child in front of his master.
Someone once asked Ulan, if one day the prince grows up, gets married and has children, and there is a gap between the imperial concubine and the imperial concubine, how will the imperial concubine, who has no children and no children, deal with herself?
Ulan just smiled sarcastically, and sent the other party directly to the Punishment Department.
Worry?How can it be?Outsiders don't know, but people around them, can't they see that the affection between the imperial concubine and the prince is far beyond that of ordinary mother and child?They are each other's dependence, and they are indispensable!
There is no way that day will come!
After chatting with his aunt, Yinrong ate the apples and felt extraordinarily relaxed.In front of my aunt, there is no need to wear any disguise.
How important is height to a person?Ming Xuan didn't think there was anything wrong with the child being happier.
Instead, he snickered and said, "Do you know? I saw a tall woman at the New Year's banquet last time. The husband sitting next to her was much lower than her. The woman was wearing a flower pot bottom. When she stood up, It's just impossible to watch!"
Yinfeng nodded, and echoed: "Indeed, it's really unreasonable to be lower than a woman. Aunt, you are talking about the eldest son of the Zhen Guogong family and the eldest son Fujin?"
"It seems so. This couple was married by you, Ama Khan... Sigh! Ama Khan's vision is really not very good." Ming Xuan sighed.
Yinfeng laughed lightly and said, "Ama Khan didn't expect that man to be so short! The key is that Lord Zhen Guo came to ask for an order, and Ama Khan gave him the marriage."
Ming Xuan waved her hand, signaling to stop talking about Kangxi, it's a disappointment!
Suddenly, the last time the concubine came to pay her respects, and I heard Concubine Hui say that in the next year's draft, the elder brother is about to give a marriage, and that one of the elder brother's former companions has become Ama.Concubine Rong also said that Brother San is not young anymore.The big brother is going to get married, so will the prince be far behind?
Mingxuan can only help him win it, let him get married when he is more mature, and try not to let Kangxi give him a gift before the concubine enters the door, so as not to cause a lot of concubines before the concubine is born. .
Thinking so in her heart, Ming Xuan also said so.
"Auntie, you are so long-winded!" Yinreng said directly, looking at Mingxuan's cliché.
He really didn't think too much about the Crown Princess, if the other party could help him manage the Yuqing Palace well, and if he could respect and be filial to his aunt, he would treat her well and show her respect and love.If not...how can he like it then?
Mingxuan doesn't want to talk too much, does she?But this matter was always over her head, coupled with the sense of urgency when she saw Concubine Hui and Concubine Rong, she couldn't help but worry.
"Just listen to what I said, don't talk back." Ming Xuan tapped Yinrong's head lightly.
Yinfeng bowed his head and continued to eat his own apple, and secretly complained: "It's not what you said, we have each other's shortcomings and we have to point them out in person. It's really a needle in a woman's heart."
"What did you say?" Ming Xuan asked curiously after hearing him muttering,
"No, I just said that the taste of this apple is not bad. In fact, I like to eat it with the skin on. It's the most decompressive to eat with the skin on." Yinfeng took another apple from the fruit plate, got up and left after speaking.
When he reached the door, Yinfeng turned his head and said, "The officials who went to Holland before are coming back and have already arrived in Guangzhou. Auntie, if you want anything, just tell me."
This is the reason why the apples of Yongshou Palace were sold by Xiao Jiu at a sky-high price this year. It is said that the envoys who went to the Netherlands and other countries brought people with them. They seem to be princes and important ministers from other countries. Khan Ama 'has no choice' to buy Yongshou at a high price. The apples that the palace can sell are used to show off.
"I'll tell you when I think about it." Ming Xuan waved her hand, the emperor cared about overseas, she had actually achieved her goal.Regarding the current West, to be honest, Ming Xuan felt that she would not be able to see much.
Wait, after Yinfeng left, Mingxuan remembered that there are still many things she can admire, such as gems and the like.
"Does this mean the same thing as the Wanbang came to court in the Tang Dynasty?" Ming Xuan deliberately asked in front of Kangxi.
Kangxi paused. Compared with the description of the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty in the book, the Qing Dynasty was far from reaching that level, but the words of the imperial concubine made him feel excited. This is a good starting point.
"What do barbarians have?" Yinzhen asked curiously.
Ming Xuan casually said, "Gold! I read in their books that they use gold and silver coins for transactions. Hmm...it seems like there are also firearms and wool?"
Yinzhen's eyes lit up immediately.
"We used to have glass and clocks, but now we also have..." Ming Xuan pouted her lips and said, "We still have more skilled craftsmen. If you ask me to improve the treatment of craftsmen, let us have more good things in the Qing Dynasty. It’s cool to get all their gold and silver back.”
"Your Majesty, you're right, this is the most enjoyable way!" Yinzhen said with a face full of surprise, which really touched his heart.
Mingxuan drank her saliva, smiled and said to Kangxi: "Look at Xiaojiu who is more up-to-date, when he grows up, you let him make money, foreign gold and silver, and establish our Qing Dynasty. It feels nice."
"I see that you are all whimsical, how can my elder brother do business?" Kangxi glared at them and said.But I was a little moved in my heart, I don't need Xiaojiu, can I use someone else?
"Oh!" Ming Xuan nodded, and asked back: "Is there any high-ranking official in the court who can take care of this matter? It's okay for Xiao Jiu to do it when the time comes. Life must be done what you like, so that it is meaningful."
"How old is he?" Kangxi said with a smile: "Okay, let's talk about the future, Xiaojiu, you have been studying well recently, I am quite pleased."
"Thank you, Ama, for your compliment." After Yinzhen finished speaking, she took another look at the imperial concubine, thinking that she was her confidant, she was beautiful and kind, and she was so considerate.
On the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival, foreign envoys arrived in the capital. Kangxi first summoned the people he sent out and looked at the things they brought back.
Kangxi used to know about the West from Nan Huairen and other people's narrations and books, but after his own people went out, the news they brought back surprised him. The relationship between Western countries is so complicated?
And what kind of company in England, how come the kings of all dynasties are still involved in business?Occupying territory, building private armies...
"You guys write me a detailed account of the country called England, the Netherlands, and the company." Kangxi rubbed his forehead, and sighed because there was too much information.
"Saltpeter?" Yinreng was sitting on the side, looking at the things that were said to be best-selling by some company, such as porcelain tea from the Qing Dynasty, and... saltpeter from all over the world?Saltpeter is not... gunpowder making...
Kangxi's expression changed, and he thought of Nan Huairen, the cannons and firearms he could make as a missionary...
Kangxi couldn't help but think of what Mingxuan said, she could kill several strong men with a gun.
"I heard that your request to Suo'etu is to ensure the integrity of the Qing territory?" After letting those people go down, Kangxi asked Yinfeng.
Yinfeng nodded, and said as it should: "The country is indivisible. Didn't you teach your son Khan Ama?"
"Galdan has agreed with the Mobei tribe, and now it has become a serious problem for the Qing Dynasty and has to be eliminated. If we continue with Tsarist Russia at this time..." Kangxi looked at his son and explained: "I thought you knew why a small loss makes a big difference. ?”
"What about signing a lease contract?" Yinfeng asked again: "Sign a century-old treaty, give up part of the land, and take it back after the contract expires. My son will not believe it. At that time, the Qing Dynasty will allow other countries to bully me?"
Kangxi didn't speak, he didn't have any hope about it.
But it didn't stop Yinfeng from sending all the Russian-speaking people in the Lifan Academy to translate.After all, Yinfeng couldn't help but trust the missionaries representing the translators of the Qing Dynasty, and neither could Kangxi.
Mingxuan never asked about the affairs of the emperor, but Kangxi gave Mingxuan a catalog of the things he brought back this time, and asked her to pick a few first.
As usual, Ming Xuan first chose the various seeds she brought back, and then there were jewelry!Finally, he said that after translating the book he brought back, he would send it to her.
Kangxi quickly ordered people to bring these things in, and Yinfeng also picked some that Mingxuan liked and sent them over.
Ming Xuan gave the lace and the knitwear to Chunni and the others. As for the big palace-style skirt, after Ming Xuan had seen it, she asked people to put it away.
It doesn't matter if you show a little breasts in your own palace, but wearing a waist...let's forget it!
The perfume was too strong, and Ming Xuan didn't like it either.
"Niang Niang, do you think Khan Ama will let me manage the business affairs of Fanbang in the future?" When Mingxuan received the gift, Yinzhen ran over with Yinzhen and Yinzhen, Yinzhen looked at Mingxuan and asked seriously.
This Mingxuan couldn't give him an answer, but she couldn't suppress the child's enthusiasm, right?
So Mingxuan thought for a while and replied: "I don't know, but if Xiaojiu grows up and you still like these things, you can apply to you Khan Ama yourself. I think, the emperor is your dear Ama, and he will always Do your best to meet your needs.”
"Oh!" Yinzhen sighed, picked up a magnifying glass, put it on his eyes and sighed: "I will definitely be the richest elder brother in the Qing Dynasty in the future!"
"I want to be the closest younger brother of the wealthiest elder brother in the Qing Dynasty!" Yinti followed.
Yinzhen raised his lips and said, "I want to be the most useful younger brother to the prince's brother." This has always been Yinzhen's goal.
Mingxuan chuckled, and said: "Then you guys, come on, Xiaosi's goal is really great. And Xiaojiu, to be honest, Xiaojiu, maritime trade really makes money. If you want to like it, you have to learn a lot. It’s better to learn their language. Back then, Nan Huairen underestimated Ben Gong because he didn’t know their language? And Xiao Shi too... Your ninth brother keeps improving, but you are stagnant, so it’s easy to lose you Brother's. Didn't you see that your fourth brother is trying to chase your prince's brother?"
After the imperial concubine finished speaking, Yinzhen nodded vigorously, and then just wanted to say that the tenth younger brother didn't need to work so hard, but saw that Yinzhen's eyes, which were originally just a slit, had become the width of a soybean.
Although the eyes are still not big, they are enough to make Yinzhen novelty.
"Tenth brother, you can actually open your eyes? Then you can open your eyes more in the future, maybe you can grow older!" Yinzhen said full of surprise.
