Chapter 61 Chapter 61(1/3)
Next, quiet days lasted for several months.
Finally, the news that the emperor led the princes to a great victory spread back to the palace.
Everyone in the dynasty and harem wept with joy.
Concubine De, who was unaware of affairs outside the palace, couldn't help but shed tears on her cheeks when she heard the news that the emperor was about to return after a great victory.
She found Luo Jianing and told her daughter-in-law when no one was around: "You don't know that I have nightmares every day, fearing that something will happen to His Majesty..."
This is very disrespectful. After all, it is because he is afraid of something like "something happens to the emperor."
But now that she heard that the emperor was well and about to return, Concubine De wanted to talk, so she told her daughter-in-law truthfully: "At first, I only thought that your majesty was very brave and could accomplish anything. If he really went out in the past years, I wouldn't be able to do anything.
I'm so worried. Maybe it's because I'm older, but now that he goes out like this again, I'm really worried."
Luo Jianing knew that although the relationship between Emperor Kangxi and Concubine De was not love, it was still very much like a family relationship. The two had children and cared about each other. Over the years, they had a deep bond with each other.
It is normal for Concubine De to care about Emperor Kangxi so much.
"My mother misses the emperor just as I miss the fourth master." Luo Jianing shook De Concubine's hand and said, "We all care about them. With our concerns in our hearts, they must be extremely brave on the battlefield and nothing will happen to them.
"
With tears on her cheeks, Concubine De smiled and nodded.
Now that the news of the great victory has come back, the whole country will naturally celebrate.
The palace is responsible for holding the largest celebration ceremony, so this matter should be left to the prince.
Since the incident with Concubine Yi happened a few months ago, the prince has grown more trustful in Sifujin.
You must know that if Sifujin hadn't found him first that time, several steps ahead of Yifei, and reminded him about borrowing Nuanxiang Pills and held Yifei down, Yikun Palace might have been able to jump around even more.
With Si Fujin and the maid whom the Empress Dowager trusted whom Si Fujin had summoned, the prince's matter was finally handled properly.
Yinreng was very satisfied with this.
He now supervises the country and has considerable power. He takes care of Yonghe Palace as much as possible on weekdays to express his gratitude to Sifujin.
This time he was going to hold a celebration ceremony, and the first thing he thought of was Sifujin and her family.
Yinreng wanted to focus on using Sifujin's family members to hold the celebration banquet, so he specifically sought out Sifujin in advance to discuss it with her.
He felt that this fourth sibling was a person with great ideas, so he discussed it with her, lest she have other plans, and it would be bad if the plans of the two of them conflicted.
Luo Jianing knew what the prince would face in the future, and also knew that the fourth elder brother had always been a low-key character and did not want to be too conspicuous at this time.
She took advantage of her father's leg illness and declined the offer.
"My Ama had a serious leg injury before. Every time in winter, the pain was unbearable. At the worst time, I couldn't even walk. I could only lie on my side on the couch to rest." Luo Jianing said: "This time Ama will follow me.
The emperor is going on a personal expedition, so his leg problems will definitely get worse after he returns. I am afraid that my brothers and sisters will have to wait in front of Amma and have no time to distract themselves from preparing for these ceremonies."
At this point, she showed an apologetic smile at the right time: "To put it bluntly, preparing these ceremonies for the emperor is naturally the most important. But as a child, it is inevitable to be distracted by worrying about Amma. Please also ask
Your Royal Highness, please forgive me. In order to make the ceremony formal and correct, it is best not to use members of my natal family. Otherwise, it will be really distracting and something will go wrong, which will not be beautiful."
Yinreng nodded.
Sifujin is really smart, and he has considered these things very carefully.
Holding a home purchase ceremony is a beautiful job, it is not easy to make mistakes, it is easy to get praise, and you can get a lot of benefits overtly and covertly, so most people will not refuse it.
Si Fujin said this, which shows that Master Fei Yanggu's legs are really bad.
Moreover, he vaguely heard from Huang Ama that during the winter, Sifujin often made things like knee pads and had them sent to Ulanara's house for Lord Feiyanggu to use.
Fortunately, I asked Sifujin for his opinion first.
Otherwise, Mr. Feiyanggu will really need his children to take care of him, and it will not be good if the Ulanara family is busy celebrating the ceremony.
Anyway, there are many people in the court, and they are all happy to accept the beautiful errand of welcoming His Majesty back to the palace.
The Uranala family is not in use for the time being, just let others do it first.
"Your filial piety is really commendable." Yinreng said: "In that case, use someone else. Leave time for your family to take care of your mother."
The matter was settled in this way, and both parties were very satisfied.
During this period of time, the Eighth Princess and Concubine Yi took turns confining themselves, causing Yikun Palace to completely lose its popularity.
Both of them knew that after the emperor returned to the palace, they would have to make decisions again about the various things they had done wrong before.
So they stopped doing it during the lockdown.
Even after being banned, the two of them remained very calm and kept to themselves. They basically stayed in Yikun Palace and could not leave Yikun Palace easily.
Lest others find out about their other mistakes and settle their accounts before the emperor.
Once these two people settled down, the atmosphere in the entire palace became much better.
——Anyway, the princes are basically gone, and the concubines have no one in particular who needs to be protected. And the emperor is not here, and everyone has nothing to fight for. They just get along with each other in peace and harmony, and we will wait until the emperor comes back.
In such a harmonious atmosphere, the harem was very stable.
There was only one person who seemed a little anxious, and that was the ninth elder brother Yinzhen.
Yinzhen was thinking about the shop and tried to contact Shun Anyan five times, but to no avail.
Because of the incident involving Concubine Yi, the prince paid attention to Yikun Palace and took control of everyone related to Concubine Yi, both openly and covertly. Even Concubine Yi's son Yinzhen was also implicated.
Yinzhen was extremely anxious.
That shop is really a good one. It is a century-old shop with a good reputation and a large number of guests. If the owner had not been in urgent need of a large sum of money and would never return to the capital, he would not be willing to sell the shop.
Yinzhen took a fancy to it at first, but he couldn't go there at will in the palace, so he had to send people every now and then to take a look.
Unexpectedly, the shop was actually negotiated with Tong Jia's family.
That old fox Tong Guowei...
Yin Zhen knew that if the shop was in Tong Guowei's hands, he would generally not be able to get it back. If someone else in Tong Jia's family got it, it would be fine, there would still be room for change.
He was waiting for news about Shun Anyan in the palace, as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
But he couldn't let other people in the palace know about the business, otherwise he would be charged again with Huang Ama.
Yikun Palace has already been convicted of too many crimes now, and he cannot add to it.
Fortunately, Shun Anyan is also a very trustworthy person.
Although Yinzhen could not leave the palace, Shun Anyan, as the direct grandson of Tong Jia's family, could get the opportunity to enter the palace. After Shun Anyan won the opportunity for Tong Jia's family to pay respect to the Queen Mother, the two finally met.
As soon as Yinzhen heard the news that he was entering the palace, he quickly made arrangements. Therefore, the meeting between the two went very smoothly.
The sun was shining brightly at this time. The bright sunshine made people's eyes sore.
However, Yinzhen didn't care about the sun at all. He immediately withdrew everyone around him under the bright sun and asked Shun Anyan hurriedly: "How is the matter? Can you help me find out?"
"To be honest, this matter is a bit difficult to handle." Shun Anyan said: "The shop is not in the hands of my roommate, but in the hands of my uncle. You know him. He is very stubborn and doesn't listen well.
People advise. Once he identifies something, it will be very difficult for others to take it away."
When Yinzhen heard that the shop was under Longkodo's name, he immediately withered: "It's finished, it's finished. He's... a very difficult person to get along with. If you ask him, there's a good chance he won't come."
If in the past, his mother-in-law was very favored by the emperor, maybe the shop could still fall on his head.
Even if others don't agree with his ninth elder brother, they will still think more highly of him because Concubine Yi is favored. Even if he doesn't come forward in person, it will be easy for someone to get the shop in his name.
Today is different from the past.
Now that Yikun Palace has completely angered the emperor, there is no telling how the emperor will settle accounts with them when he comes back.
For him, it is even more difficult to build a prosperous shop.
The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. He raised his head to the sky and screamed: "I also thought about finding Bage and inviting him to my new restaurant for a big meal in the future. Now that I can't even be the boss, I guess I can't invite him.
"
Those last few sentences were just muttered casually after giving up on myself.
But after hearing this, Shun Anyan found it interesting: "Is your relationship with Eighth Prince so good?"
"That's natural." After hearing this, Yinzhen stood with his hands behind his hands and said proudly: "Bago treats me like a real brother, how can he not do that?"
Shun Anyan smiled: "You are brothers." Even if you don't have the same biological mother, you still have the same father, so you are naturally brothers.
Yinzhen consciously made a mistake.
But looking at Tong Guowei's direct grandson, although he heard that he had made a mistake, he had no intention of targeting him. Yinzhen felt that this person was relatable, so he said: "Even brothers can be close or distant. For example, the fourth elder brother
I have a good relationship with my tenth brother, and I am close to my eighth brother and my tenth brother. It’s the same principle.”
Shun Anyan nodded with a smile: "My uncle also values the eighth elder brother very much and thinks that his gentlemanly demeanor is admirable. If I tell him about this relationship, maybe he will agree to you."
When Yinzhen heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
After thinking about it again, he became a little nervous and grabbed Shun Anyan's sleeve: "I can't let Huang Ama and the others know about my going out to buy a shop. This matter can only be done after I leave the palace and establish a mansion.
, now I can only come quietly."
"Don't worry." Shun Anyan said, "My family has always done things properly."
After hearing this last word of assurance, Yinzhen felt a lot more relieved.
