At the second moment of Shen Zheng, the sister and brother arrived in Haidian.
The fifth elder brother got off the carriage and led Shi, the princess's palace chief, to return to the imperial palace.
Princess Kejing was waiting in the carriage, waiting for the oral instructions.
Although they are close relatives, the princess is Fu Meng, and now she is the princess of Tuxie Tuhan. When she will see her, she has to wait for Kangxi's summons.
The princess's palace chief, Shi, was a foreign minister and could not wait directly in Changchun Garden, so he waited outside the small east gate.
The fifth elder brother entered Changchun Garden by himself.
If he was in the palace at this time, it would be the time when Kangxi went to the study to take the prince's homework test; when he arrived in the garden, he didn't know whether he went to Wuyizhai or not.
The fifth elder brother directly asked the eunuch on duty at the door: "Is Khan Ama here? Or did you go to Wuyizhai?"
The eunuch at the door said respectfully: "The emperor is summoning Sibeile..."
The fifth elder brother nodded and said: "Then when the fourth master comes out, you can send a message inside and say that I will return to life..."
The eunuch responded respectfully.
The fifth elder brother couldn't stand the heat, so he went to check in.
There is also an ice cellar here in Changchun Garden, and there is an ice basin in the check-in room.

In Qingxi Bookstore, besides Si Age, there was also Bai Qi.
It was just that Brother Si was standing, while Bai Qi was kneeling, honestly speaking everything he knew.
"After I became a man, I directly made up for the military academy and did not make up for the vacancy of the imperial kitchen. However, I know that this account will always be handed over to the public account..."
The relationship between the Wuya family's imperial dining room is now in the hands of his second uncle Yue Se.
However, Bai Qi knew that he had such an income because he had to pay accounts at the public school.
Just now he told the fourth elder brother outside the household department about this matter, and the fourth elder brother immediately made a decision.
You can't hide it, you can't hide it.
Then take the opportunity to reveal it and make a separation from the affairs of the Imperial Kitchen Room. This room of the Wuya family will raise its flag and no longer belong to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
How can you know that it is a blessing in disguise?
Offending people at this time is not entirely a bad thing.
The fourth elder brother was not thinking that "the law does not punish everyone", but that the emperor's father was on the throne and had "eyes as bright as a torch", and he might have noticed the little moves of each family.
After all, here at the Ministry of Internal Affairs, there have been several rounds of investigations from the year before last to this year.
In this case, there is no need to deceive yourself and others, it is better to deal with it as soon as possible.
Kangxi held the Wuya family's account book in his hand, looked at the numbers on it, and paused.
Then, he looked at Bai Qi, with no emotion or anger on his face.
Bai Qi is only a few years older than Si Age, and he has an honest temper, so he likes to ask his nephew, Si Age, for advice on everything.
Kangxi asked his seventh elder brother to check Yufeng Tower, and found out that the three families in the imperial dining room, the Wuya family, the Wei family, and the Zhang family, were all guests of Yufeng Tower.
He looked at Brother Si with more appreciation in his eyes.
The choice of the fourth elder brother is not surprising. This son has a very upright character and cannot get sand into his eyes. He will not hide this matter if he knows it.
Kangxi closed the account book, looked at Bai Qi and said: "According to what is recorded in the account book, make up for the misappropriated money and wait for the punishment!"
Bai Qi kowtowed hurriedly and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. I will go back to raise money now!"
Kangxi snorted coldly: "If you make mistakes later and hurt my brother's dignity, you don't have to think about raising the flag, just go to Xinzheku!"
Bai Qizhan retreated tremblingly.
Kangxi looked at the fourth elder brother and frowned: "Don't you know the principle of 'hiding one's relatives from each other'? Even if you want to tell me about this, there is no need to sneak Bai Qiti over..."
In this case, the fourth elder brother will inevitably be criticized, and he may even be resented by his mother-in-law.
Kangxi's family relationship was weak, so he hoped that his children would be more closely related to each other.
Also, since the Ministry of Internal Affairs is being watched from outside, there is no need for Fourth Brother to wade through this muddy water.
The fourth elder brother said seriously: "The three banner officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are all from Conglong's old family, and they are related to each other. So many officials have been arrested at once, I am afraid that many people will be uneasy. The Wuya family has come out now to plead guilty and accept punishment." , it can also make people’s hearts more peaceful…”
Kangxi's expression softened a little, and he pointed to the chair next to the kang, motioning for the fourth elder brother to sit down, and said: "What do you think about the accounting department? If it were you, how would you deal with it?"
The fourth elder brother thought for a while and said: "Cut the mess with a quick knife. The third brother handled it well and chose the time well. It happened to be an opportunity for someone to offend the prince. It is logical. Even if someone wants to intercede, he will wait and see for one or two and wait for three." Brother, please calm down and won't jump out at this time; if it's your son, you may have to wait for a while, he will 'catch the thief first, capture the king', deal with the Fucha family first, and then the Dong family and the Li family..."
Kangxi listened, sighed, and said: "Think before you act. This is the mature way. Third Brother is too reckless this time!"
The fourth elder brother hurriedly said: "The third elder brother has always been kind to others, and he is even more modest outside. I guess he himself was shocked. He didn't expect the Baoyi disciple to be so arrogant. To be able to deal with such an unexpected situation is rare and thoughtful. My son is beyond my reach."
Kangxi looked more relieved after hearing this.
It's not that he was convinced by Si Age, but he was satisfied with Si Age's reaction.
This is what it means to be a brother. Even if you know that your brother is lacking, you still make up for it.
This behavior followed Empress Xiaoyi, who was generous and kind-hearted.
Kangxi thought of Wu Ya's family and said, "Bai Qi is an ordinary talent. He is good at his duty and obedience. He can make a few points later."
The fourth elder brother was ashamed and said: "My son was negligent and did not pay attention to his mother-in-law. He should have restrained him as soon as possible, but let Khan Amma worry about it."
Kangxi waved his hand and said: "Relatives are relatives, and we don't live together. Who knows how they live? Just pay attention in the future..."
Just like the Tong family, he thought it was his mother-in-law who was close to him and promoted him, but he had his own little thoughts.
Speaking of this, he remembered that the Wuya family's other left collar was allocated to the boss, and it was the coated left collar under the boss's name.
Now the family of Concubine De is preparing to take out Baoyi. The rest of Baoyi are the distant branch tribesmen and will not be able to make a difference.
The fourth elder brother said respectfully: "Well, my son must pay attention."
The father and son were about to talk again, and Liang Jiugong came in and said: "Your Majesty, the Fifth Master is back and has been waiting in the room for a while..."
After hearing this, the fourth elder brother stood up and prepared to leave.
Kangxi looked at his clear face and thought that his son was now working hard between Hubu and Huangzhuang. He wanted to keep food, so he said, "Kejing is back. You should also listen."
Fourth Brother responded and sat down again.
Liang Jiugong went out and called the fifth elder brother to come in.
When the fifth elder brother greeted him, Kangxi pointed to the fourth elder brother and asked him to sit down.
The fifth elder brother said: "Khan Ama, the princess's car has arrived outside Changchun Garden. Princess Changshi is waiting at the small east gate, waiting to be summoned."
Kangxi looked a little depressed, pondered for a moment, looked at Liang Jiugong and said: "Go and pass on my oral instructions, saying that the princess has come a long way and is tired. She can go back to the princess's courtyard to rest first, and come back tomorrow morning to pay her respects to the elders..."
Liang Jiugong responded.
The fifth elder brother showed surprise on his face.
I didn’t mention the time of meeting, so when will we meet?
There seems to be something wrong...
Didn't the emperor's father like sister Kejing very much in his early years?
The year before last, sister Kejing gave birth to a daughter, and the capital even sent an angel to the Princess's Mansion in Suiyuan City to deliver a reward.
Kangxi looked at the fifth elder brother angrily.
They are really heartless. The Guo Luoluo family and Yi Fei mother and son are almost at odds with each other. The fifth elder brother only thinks that the Guo Luoluo family is arrogant.
I never thought about the other possibility, that is, the Guo Luoluo family had a guilty conscience and did not dare to come forward and be an eyesore.
Regarding Princess Kejing, Kangxi's current mood is complicated.
Earlier, he regarded Princess Kejing as the eldest daughter of the mother and son of Yikun Palace. He liked her ambition and intelligence. He felt that the aura of the Guo Luoluo family was in her, and she was more qualified than the fifth and ninth elder brothers. Much better.
Now that he knows Guo Guiren's paranoia and ruthlessness, he is also wary of this daughter.
Concubine Yi appears to be smart and strong, but in fact she is at ease.
Lao Wu and Lao Jiu also followed Concubine Yi. Even the deceased Eleven brother had a tolerant and easy-going temperament during his lifetime, and did not have the arrogance of the youngest son who loved the concubine.
When it comes to Princess Kejing, whose ambition and progress will she follow?
it goes without saying.
Kangxi felt bored and couldn't decide when to summon his daughter.
When the fifth elder brother saw Kangxi looking at him, he asked directly: "Khan Ama, will sister Kejing only see the imperial grandmother and the empress tomorrow..."
At this point, he paused and said: "On the way just now, sister Ke Jing mentioned Wuyizhai and missed Ama..."
Seeing that he still wanted to complain about Princess Kejing, Kangxi felt a headache.
But he knew that his son was upright, and if he didn't answer, he would be verbose.
He rubbed his temples and said, "I've been upset and impatient these past two days, so let's meet up with you at the family dinner in a few days!"
The fifth elder brother couldn't help but worry when he saw it.
Could it be that Lao Jiu caused trouble again? !
Thinking of this possibility, the fifth elder brother felt guilty. He turned his head and asked softly: "Fourth brother, what...is there anything going on today?"
The fourth elder brother glanced at the kang and saw the emperor drinking tea. He didn't mean to stop him, so he whispered: "The third elder brother found out that everyone in the accounting department was greedy for money, so he cleaned up the accounting department today..."
The fifth elder brother breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
It doesn't sound like a big deal.
Which yamen in the Ministry of Internal Affairs is not greedy for ink?
He had been running around all day. Although he had eaten at the inn at noon, he was almost healed now.
Seeing refreshments on the coffee table next to him, he became even hungrier, so he looked around and called to Wei Zhu, "Bring me a wet handkerchief to wipe your hands with..."
Wei Zhu glanced at Kangxi, then went to get a clean towel and handed it to the fifth elder brother with both hands.
The fifth elder brother wiped his hands, took a piece of peach cake, and took a delicious bite.
"Kachakacha..."
The room became quiet, except for the sound of the fifth elder brother eating pastry.
Kangxi rubbed his temples again. Is this his reaction?
The fifth elder brother noticed Kangxi's gaze and said with a sneer: "Khan Ama, my son is on foreign duty for the past two days. He has some symptoms of heatstroke. He didn't eat much at noon and is a little hungry..."
After hearing this, Kangxi stopped scolding him and ordered Wei Zhu: "Pass the imperial physician..."
Wei Zhu responded.
The fifth elder brother waved his hand and said: "Khan Ama, no, no, no, it's nothing serious. My son took Huoxiang Zhengqi and lost it. He drank two packets..."
Kangxi frowned and said: "Since there are patent medicines, just take them, but you should also check the pulse to prevent other discomforts..."
Hearing what he said, the fifth elder brother felt uncomfortable on his face and trembled as if he had lice all over his body...
