Chapter 1871 Saying farewell to the old and welcoming the new(2/2)
Although he is an emperor, he is also a human being and has preferences.
He looked at the calendar in front of him, which contained oranges and bergamot.
This is the annual tribute between the governor of Guangdong and the governor of Shandong.
Kangxi turned around and whispered to Liang Jiugong, "Go and pack two plates to enjoy the Zhongcui Palace."
Liang Jiugong agreed in a low voice and went down to the fruit room of the imperial dining room.
The eunuch in charge heard that he was rewarded by Zhongcui Palace and wondered: "This is the second time I rewarded you. Last time I rewarded half a barrel of oranges. Just like Yikun Palace, Chengqian Palace only rewarded two plates... "
The oranges were an annual tribute from the governor of Guangdong, and they were transported thousands of miles to the capital, with only ten barrels in total.
At that time, three barrels were sent to Ningshou Palace, two barrels to Yuqing Palace, and only five barrels were received from the fruit warehouse of Qianqing Palace.
I also got a round of rewards.
Only Zhongcuigong has this second round.
Has this person fallen out of favor or not?
In the early years before Zhongcui Palace was closed, it did not have this dignity.
Liang Jiugong glanced at the eunuch and said, "What are you talking about? I have been working as a sergeant for many years and I still don't understand the rules!"
The eunuch in charge immediately became honest.
Liang Jiugong had served Kangxi for more than forty years and knew that his master missed his old love.
Especially after the death of the concubine Xi, the emperor personally saw the relationship between the third concubine and the concubine Rong.
As for the later concubines, concubines, kings and nobles, they are not as good as those old masters.
It was a relationship that lasted for more than thirty years. It was no different from an ordinary couple, but it was not the same weight as these young concubines who wanted to relieve their boredom.
Besides, there are also princes.
This is another constant drag of shearing.
The days when Zhongcui Palace was closed down should be coming to an end soon.
Throughout the year, Empress Zhongcui's palace rewarded her according to the concubine's rules, which was no different from Concubine Hui or Concubine Yi.
As for being rewarded with oranges twice...
Liang Jiugong made a somewhat disrespectful guess that the emperor might have forgotten the reward he received last time.
Otherwise, there would be no special instructions for observing the new year's plate today, and the others would not be used, except for two plates of oranges.
As soon as tonight is over, the emperor will be fifty years old.
Liang Jiugong was a few years older than the emperor, and he could clearly feel the changes in his body.
In his early years, he was on duty beside the emperor. It was common for him to stand for four or five hours, and he did not feel tired.
Now it's been four or five hours, and he feels uncomfortable...
