Chapter 148 Chapter 148(1/4)
Si Fujin's body recovered quickly. After more than half a month, she was as full of life as she was before giving birth. Even her figure was the same as before.
The sisters-in-law all marveled: "Sifujin, how do you maintain your health? We eat delicacies from the mountains and the sea, but we have never seen you recover as before."
Luo Jianing naturally couldn't say that there was such a thing as "health potion". Moreover, during this period of time, she exercised for a long time every day in order to be able to follow her on her tour to Qidian. This was how she got her current figure and health.
Facing everyone's exclamation, she could only smile awkwardly: "Maybe those nourishing herbs are just good for my body." At least this matter was settled.
As for asking the fifteenth and sixteenth elder brothers to follow them, it went very smoothly.
Emperor Kangxi originally intended to let his two sons go for exercise, but he was not sure whether to take them with him before. Later, after being mentioned a few times by Si Age and Si Fujin, he also felt that it would be good to let the children go out and experience more.
, and added their names to the list.
On the day of the trip, everyone will gather in the palace and set off together.
Luo Jianing and Yinzhen got up early before dawn and sent their two children into the palace.
——In the past, she would have left Honghui in the Zhang family so that he could study more easily.
But now that the Zhang family had returned to their hometown in Tongcheng, and Honghui happened to be studying in the palace with all the young brothers, she simply sent her two children to Yonghe Palace.
Concubine De was so happy when she saw her grandchildren: "Oh, look at Sister Chen's pretty little face... she was carved out of the same mold as you." She said to Si Fujin.
Luo Jianing smiled and said: "Why do I feel that Sister Chen looks like her Amma?"
"Yin Zhen is not that good-looking!" Concubine De said: "If the child looks like him, how can he be so beautiful? Right, Sister Chen? Our Sister Chen wants to be as beautiful as Er Niang, but not like your Ama.
, so ugly that he keeps a straight face all day long.”
The baby couldn't speak, but she seemed to know that the person holding her was a relative of hers. Even when she was asleep, her little face smiled sweetly.
The more Concubine De looked at it, the more she liked it. She kept talking to her sleeping granddaughter.
The 13th and 14th elder brothers stood by and marveled: "Well, the fourth brother is already ugly with his appearance, so how can we look at each other like this?"
The thirteenth and fourteenth elder brothers looked at each other. They both felt that their mother-in-law was too strict with the fourth brother's appearance. He was obviously the most handsome among the brothers, but he was called "ugly".
.
The fifth princess also followed her into the palace because she wanted to say goodbye to her brother-in-law and brothers.
At this time, when she saw the appearance of her two brothers, she couldn't help laughing: "The fourth brother is good-looking. But you have to see who you are comparing with? Who is not 'ugly' compared with the fourth sister-in-law?"
The two elder brothers suddenly realized, and they both looked at Si Fujin. Finally, they came to the conclusion that it was because the fourth sister-in-law was so beautiful that the fourth brother seemed not so good-looking!
Luo Jia stared at the various expressions of the people in the room, wondering whether to laugh or cry: "Is Bimei here today?"
Concubine De nodded from the side: "It seems 80% yes."
Yinzhen took his wife's hand and walked out: "Let's go find Huang Ama. We don't want to talk to these ordinary people who only care about appearance."
Several others laughed together.
Yinzhen sent Luo Jianing to the car to let her rest for a while, while he went back to find his brothers.
As a result, before returning to Yonghe Palace, I met the Fourteenth Brother on the way and asked, "Where is your Thirteenth Brother? Where have you gone?"
The fourteenth elder brother was planning to talk to the fifth elder brother. After all, the brothers would not see each other for a while. Hearing this, he looked around and said, "I didn't see the thirteenth elder brother. We came out together just now. He said that he would go directly to the emperor." I don’t know about Ama’s side or the other side.”
Just now, Yinzhen sent Luo Jianing to the carriage. He already knew that Emperor Kangxi should be waiting around the courtyard where he was about to set off, so he did not go to Qianqing Palace, but headed towards the carriage.
When he was about to arrive at the place where the carriages and horses gathered, he happened to meet the prince and said hello casually. Because he wanted to find his thirteenth brother, Yinzhen did not stay longer and continued walking inside to look for him.
After searching for a long time, Yinzhen finally saw the person he was looking for near the horses: "What are you doing here?"
At this time, the thirteenth elder brother was leaning over and staring at Emperor Kangxi's horses carefully.
Yinzhen leaned over and followed his gaze.
"Fourth Brother." The Thirteenth Brother pointed at the top of the stirrup and said, "Do you think the buckle is broken here? Why does it look a little crooked?"
The stirrups are made of leather and fixed together with the saddle. The position that Brother Thirteen is pointing to now is the leather part connected between the stirrups and the saddle.
Yinzhen took a few glances and found that what Brother Thirteen said was true, so he responded softly.
The Thirteenth Prince immediately started to roll up his sleeves: "I'll adjust it for Emperor Ama, so that he won't fall easily when he is riding a horse."
At least when you start galloping, your feet should be on the pedals. If there is a problem with the connection of the stirrups, the rider will easily fall off the horse if he is unstable. If there are other horses nearby, if there is a stampede, it may be dangerous. life.
However, Yinzhen was a little hesitant: "Let's leave quickly. If there is a problem with this thing, just tell Liang Jiugong and others and have someone do it. There is no need for us to do it ourselves."
He has another concern.
How can Huang Ama's things be tampered with at will? If you are not careful, you may be held accountable.
What's more, Huang Ama's pedals were generally checked by someone in advance. How could they suddenly become crooked? He didn't know any other details.
Besides, there aren't many people around here.
After the palace people helped the masters organize these things in advance, they could no longer stay here and could only wait quietly outside the venue where these things were placed.
After a while, the masters returned to their seats one after another and came to their horses, and the palace people could accompany them. Otherwise, no one would be able to guard the time here.
Yinzhen believes that it is better to be careful. He thinks it is better not to get involved in this kind of thing. Otherwise, nothing can be explained clearly.
The Thirteenth Brother said: "I'm just helping Huang Ama adjust it. It's just a little effort. It's not a big deal." As he said that, he started to adjust it.
Yinzhen had no choice but to accompany him, but he was afraid that he would be taken advantage of by someone with intentions, so he stood not far away.
At this time, Liang Jiugong hurried past.
Yinzhen simply called him, which was regarded as a reminder to his thirteenth brother: "Eunuch Liang, are you so busy looking for Huang Ama?"
Liang Jiugong glanced at the two of them and said: "It's almost time to set off, and everyone in the palace is looking for the masters. I have to hurry up and call the Lord Long Live. I just happened to meet the second prince.
, he said the emperor might be here, so the servant came."
Although the prince has acquiesced in restoring his position in the East Palace, if the edict is not issued, he is not a serious prince yet.
Liang Jiugong still sometimes calls him "Second Prince".
Yinzhen understood and briefly said a few words to him, before Liang Jiugong left quickly.
Just at this time, the Thirteenth Brother had already straightened his stirrups. Seeing that they were about to gather together, the two brothers went to Yonghe Palace to say goodbye to Concubine De and the others.
After everyone had arrived, Emperor Kangxi had an impassioned speech with all his elder brothers. He was about to mount his horse, but his sharp eyes discovered that there was something wrong with the leather on the horse's stirrup.
There was actually a very deep scratch.
Because it was cut with a sharp instrument, the scratch was not very obvious unless you looked carefully. Fortunately, Emperor Kangxi was used to being careful, so he took a few more glances when he saw something was wrong here.
Emperor Kangxi was silent for a moment, staring at that spot without moving his eyes at all.
Liang Jiugong noticed something was wrong and was about to come over to ask more, but was overtaken by the prince on the side.
"Huang Ama!" The prince approached Emperor Kangxi first and asked softly: "Why don't you get on the horse? Are you feeling unwell? Do you want my child to help you up?"
This rhetoric made Emperor Kangxi very disgusted, making it seem as if he was too old to even get on the back of a horse normally.
Emperor Kangxi said coldly: "No need." He called Liang Jiugong again and ordered: "Change the stirrup and saddle."
Because I had to travel, the people in charge of the horses in the palace were waiting nearby, and I had several extra sets of these phrases placed nearby, so that if any master was dissatisfied with the configuration of his mount, he could change them at any time.
.
Liang Jiugong hurriedly asked the people next to him to change the saddle and stirrups for Emperor Kangxi.
When he was about to ask someone to take away the suit that the emperor had previously disliked, Emperor Kangxi pointed to the suit he had just replaced and said: "Take that too."
For fear of someone secretly tampering with this thing, he added: "Put it in Sifujin's car and let her watch it for me."
Liang Jiugong hurriedly answered the call and left.
Because the auspicious time had come, and if he didn't set off, he would miss the auspicious time. Emperor Kangxi did not say anything at this time, but waved his hand and ordered people to set off immediately.
This first day of travel went quite smoothly.
In the evening, everyone came to a town to rest for a while.
After Emperor Kangxi entered the house, he asked someone to bring the replaced harness from Si Fujin's car, then closed the door and looked at it alone.
After a long time, he called Liang Jiugong into the house. Just as he was about to ask more questions, he heard someone knocking on the door outside.
When I asked loudly, it was the prince.
Emperor Kangxi asked Liang Jiugong to stand aside temporarily and asked the prince to come into the room.
The prince smiled when he entered the room: "Emperor Ama, I have asked you to prepare a good barbecue. Would you like to have a taste?" As he said this, he turned his eyes and looked at the horse gear on the table, and couldn't help but wonder.
: "Isn't this what Huang Ama did before? Why did you take it out at this time? Is there something wrong with this thing?"
Emperor Kangxi didn't want to talk to him that much.
After all, we still don’t have a clue about this matter. If we talk about it first, many subsequent matters will not be easy to deal with.
Who knew that the prince also had sharp eyes and suddenly saw scratches on the leather on the stirrups.
Before Emperor Kangxi asked Liang Jiugong to put the things away, the prince grabbed the harness with sharp eyes and pointed at the scratch and said: "Huang Ama, how come there is such a deep mark here?"
After saying that, he was shocked and said: "Fortunately, Emperor Ama was wise and replaced this thing as soon as possible. Otherwise, if this part breaks while you are riding on the horse, wouldn't you be in danger?"
"That's it." Seeing that his son had discovered it, Emperor Kangxi did not continue to cover up anything: "I don't know who is so vicious and dares to harm me!"
In fact, he wanted to be held accountable at that time.
To be continued...
