Chapter 164 The Crown
Chunni also felt that she had nothing to do with her own mother, so she comforted Concubine Zhao repeatedly.
Mingxuan had suffered a loss from Concubine Zhao once, so she didn't want to do it again, so she waited for Kangxi to come over and asked, "You think Concubine Zhao won't play tricks on concubines again, right?"
"No, as long as she has some brains, she should know. If you touch you again, I can't get around her." Kangxi said directly domineeringly.
Mingxuan felt relieved when she heard this, and felt that Kangxi was still useful.
"I have a political matter recently, and I have a disagreement with Baocheng. Go back and persuade him for me." Kangxi leaned on the chair and sighed.
Tong Guogang, who was far away in Nerchinsk, sent him a secret book on a fast horse, saying that the people from the Lifan Academy just sent by the prince caught the two translators and a missionary who had accepted bribes before. The Tsarist Russian negotiators threw harsh words and refused to budge.As a result, the current negotiations cannot continue.Galdan is becoming more and more rampant now, and it is time to fall without delay.
Disagreement?political affairs?
Mingxuan's heart shook, she frowned and said, "What kind of political affairs does my concubine know? How talented is Baocheng? He's wrong, why don't you explain to him slowly?"
Kangxi closed his eyes and rubbed his head with some headaches.
Ming Xuan immediately stood behind him and massaged his head. In the past, she would not be so courteous, but since it was about the crown prince, Ming Xuan became courteous.
Feeling the gentle massage on his head, Kangxi sighed comfortably, and then said to Mingxuan: "Baocheng is right, it's just a youthful spirit. If the Qing Dynasty is peaceful now, I will definitely support Baocheng, but... karma Erdan has been too rampant in recent years, I... oh... this is the first time that Baocheng has really participated in the court affairs, and the child has given Suo'etu an order early on, I..."
Ming Xuan knew where Suo'etu was going, and she was also familiar with the place name Nerchinsk. She knew that a Treaty of Nerchinsk was signed. Mingxuan no longer remembered the content of this treaty, but vaguely remembered that it was a treaty of equality, but Also a lost ground treaty.
As for Galdan, how could Mingxuan forget Kangxi's most important achievement?Zhu Aobai, Ping Sanfan, Sanzheng Galdan...
It can be seen that the danger of Galdan is indeed great!
"The concubine doesn't understand, but the emperor thinks what should be done, so do it! You can persuade the child well, Baocheng has not experienced too much wind and rain, and it is easy to distinguish black and white when looking at problems. You can tell him your thoughts slowly. , he will understand. He is a child raised by you, and you understand it better than my concubine." Ming Xuan said softly.
Kangxi looked up at Mingxuan, saw the sincerity in her eyes, and responded softly.
"I'll give Suo'etu some more time. This time, Baocheng has really made a contribution, so it should be able to delay for some time." Kangxi closed his eyes again, and sighed softly: "My Baocheng is thinking about things now, and he often thinks about things better than him." I have considered Zhou Xiang."
For example, sending more people who understand Tsarist Russian can catch the mistakes of the previous translators.
"It's all taught well by the emperor." Ming Xuan said while rubbing, "Occasionally, if you do something well, it will make you proud."
After hearing what Ming Xuan said, Kangxi realized that his mouth was raised.I couldn't help laughing and said: "You are right, I am very proud."
"It's done! The concubine is tired." The danger was over, and Ming Xuan quit!The work of serving people is too tiring and not suitable for her.
Kangxi shook his head, feeling a lot more relaxed. He sat up straight away, smiled and said to Mingxuan: "When Baocheng was young, I heard me occasionally talk about him smiling when I saw him, and he felt happy. He came here every day to give me a silly smile. , Even just after fighting with Baoqing, I laughed when I saw it, and asked me if I was in a better mood after laughing, which made me angry and moved."
Mingxuan nodded and said: "That's not it. At that time, when I came here every day, I asked my concubines, saying that Ahma Khan was happy when she saw Baocheng smiling, and she practiced alone with a mirror all day long. She said that she couldn't help Ama Khan. I'm busy, I hope Khan Ama's mood will be happy every day. I made my concubine sour and ate a lot of yogurt lumps."
Kangxi smiled complacently for a while, and then said: "You didn't eat it because it was sour, you were already delicious."
"Your Majesty, are you poking at your concubine?" Ming Xuan said furiously.
When Kangxi saw this, he was amused again!
Liang Jiugong saw that the smile on Kangxi's face had not stopped since he entered the Yongshou Palace, and this time he couldn't stand up straight from laughing, so he couldn't help admiring the imperial concubine's ability to coax people.
Kangxi didn't really ask Mingxuan to persuade Baocheng, but after talking to Mingxuan, he felt very comfortable and some things were not easy to say to others.He found that not only Baocheng, but also Mingxuan could give accurate evaluations to other princes and princesses.
There are many things that bother him now, but Kangxi is also full of pride that his children are so outstanding.
At the mid-autumn night banquet, Kangxi invited envoys from various countries. Seeing a group of foreigners with blonde hair and blue eyes, brown hair and blue eyes... many people were very surprised, and many people were afraid and wanted to see it.
Ming Xuan glanced lightly for a few times, then stopped.Because there was nothing too beautiful to catch her eyes, she lost interest in an instant.
The palace banquets in the Qing Dynasty are different from the balls in Western countries, and they are strictly hierarchical.
After translation, everyone knew that the empress had passed away, the young woman sitting closest to Kangxi was the deputy empress of the Qing Palace, and the others were all concubines, so they toasted Mingxuan frequently.
"These barbarians really have no rules." Concubine Yi couldn't help muttering.
"It's not that there are no rules. Western countries practice monogamy, but their kings will have many unnamed lovers...so in their eyes, there are only imperial concubines and concubines...it is inevitable to have no concubines." Yinzhen explained coolly on the side.
It's fine if Yinzhen doesn't say anything, but Concubine Yi just mutters, and Concubine Yi explodes immediately when she says it!
"Why is Erniang so angry? The son is not angry at all! In their country, only those born by their wives are princes and princesses, and the others...hehe...are all illegitimate children!" Yinzhen looked at the angry face in confusion. Er Niang, curiously said: "Even Khan Ama said that Er Niang has become a bit angry recently, Er Niang, do you want to control it?"
If it wasn't for a palace banquet, Concubine Yi really couldn't bear it in public, how did she get her violent temper?It's not that they are angry!
"Cousin Ninth, let's go and play!" Anya tilted her head and looked at the gentle Eighth Brother who was not far away. Among the people in the palace, Eighth Brother had the best attitude towards her.Then turned around and said to Yinzhen.
Yinzhen quickly shook her head and said, "No, no, fourth brother is over there, I don't want it! Besides, I don't want to go there with my cousin, men and women can't get married, I don't plan to marry my cousin, let's stay far away."
Anya's face was flushed, and she replied directly: "If I marry a pig, I can't even marry you!"
"Then you... um..." Before Yinzhen finished speaking, he was blocked by Yinyu who was coming, and Yinti looked at Anya honestly and said, "Sister Anya, you are so beautiful, why don't you marry me?" ?”
Of course, Yinyi just said it casually, mainly because she didn't want to lose face, after all, she was Brother Nine's cousin.
"I don't want it, you look like a pig..." It was too late when Anya realized something was wrong.
The three sons beside Concubine Yi, and the fifth princess Galu stood up abruptly, all glaring at Anya.
"Guo Luo Luo Ge Ge, you are really good. Insulting the prince? Huh!" Ga Lu stood up, looked at Anya expressionlessly, and then reminded Concubine Yi: "Yi'eniang, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep her. .”
Ga Lu remembered what the imperial concubine said before, no matter how fierce the fight is in the nest, no matter how fierce the fight is, outside they are brothers and sisters, they are family members.
Especially when Xiao Ten did nothing wrong, he shouldn't be insulted like this.This is the bottom line of being a human being.
After speaking, he grabbed Xiao Jiu with one hand and Xiao Shi Yi with the other, and walked away quickly, preparing to sit with other princesses and princes.
Yinqi also wanted to comfort Er Niang and tell her to send him away quickly.But being pushed away by Yinyi, she could only look at Concubine Yi with concern.
"Fifth sister, I'm fine." Yinqi suddenly said, "I...I will lose weight."
"Shut up! You are the emperor, why should you be insulted by her, the daughter of a criminal minister? You should tear her mouth off on the spot." Galu stopped, turned to look at Yinji and said, "Let me Gong Hearing you say such worthless words, there is no need for others to insult you, I will directly beat you to a cripple!"
"..." Yinbi shrunk her neck, then nodded abruptly and said, "No one can insult me anymore."
Mingxuan inadvertently saw the situation around Concubine Yi.She had seen the fifth princess who followed Concubine Yi silently before, and now she looked at the proud princess, she had to admit that Princess Galu, who was full of confidence, was pretty good-looking.
"This tiara looks quite delicate." At this time, the envoys who came to Zhuguo just said that they would give Kangxi a gift.A prince gave Kangxi a crown.
It was a ruby crown, said to be a gift of peace entrusted to him by his king father.Kangxi looked at some shining crowns in the box, and asked someone to call Galu over.
Galu knew that he couldn't hide what happened just now from Khan Ama, but he didn't expect that he would tell him to go there now.
"My little Phoenix, what do you think of this crown?" Kangxi reached out and took out the crown and handed it to Galu, saying affectionately.
Ga Lu paused, then with a bright smile on his face, he looked at Kangxi and said, "It's pretty good."
"Then I'll give it to you." Kangxi said with a smile, handed it out casually, and then asked Galu to stand beside Yinfeng, let them stand together, and proudly told those princes and princesses that these are his children.
Ga Lu held the crown, and inadvertently glanced at Ming Xuan. She did it just now because she couldn't understand Anya's arrogance. Gong saw that the people were filled with righteous indignation and cursed Nan Huairen.
After returning to the palace, Khan Ama took the second brother of the prince to tell the imperial concubine, and the imperial concubine replied directly: "Regardless of the Manchus and Han people, no matter how ruthless the fight in the nest is, it is the family's business, but if outsiders dare to attack, they will naturally be of one mind. What's so strange about working together to defend against the enemy?"
What's so strange about giving your younger brother a head start?There was no trace of complacency on Garu's face.Even when seeing the imperial concubine smiling at him, he raised his head and smiled at her.
Mingxuan didn't know why when she was looking at Yinfeng, she saw that the fifth princess seemed to be smiling at herself, looked around, and found that she was really smiling at herself, and she was a little confused!
"Aren't they tired of wearing less heavy crowns?" Chunni asked curiously, looking at the shining crowns on the heads of the barbarian royals.
Ming Xuan came back to her senses, glanced at the princes and princesses who held their heads high, thought for a while, and said, "It's a symbol of status, and it's to tell them not to bow their heads, the crown will fall off! The weight of the crown is to remind them responsibility."
