Changchun Garden, Huichun Villa.
Yi Fei took the fruit plate and sighed inwardly.
She remembered an old saying that was not very respectful, that is, if you come into the house, you will come for everything.
Isn’t the Emperor too diligent in reading the signs here these days?
Are the young and tender concubines and nobles just for decoration?
She couldn't help but glance at the emperor's waist. Was he chatting with her just to look good?
She couldn't help but complain in her heart.
Perhaps, this means "mother is more valuable than daughter"?
Maybe it was for others to see, so that others would not think she had fallen out of favor?
I always feel that life has been going too smoothly lately, and I feel like I’m getting stuck.
Kangxi noticed Concubine Yi's wanton gaze and looked over.
Concubine Yi smiled and said with honey in her voice: "The watermelon I cut this afternoon was sweeter than the others, so I kept most of it. I thought I would send someone to deliver it to you tomorrow to try it... …”
The watermelon in the fruit plate has been cut into triangular pieces, but the watermelon rind is still there, but all the watermelon seeds have been removed.
Kangxi was satisfied when he saw this.
He likes to eat watermelon by hand instead of using a fork.
Kangxi ate two horns of watermelon, and Concubine Yi also ate a corner.
Kangxi's eyes fell on the ground, which were two wooden horses, one big and one small.
Yi Fei smiled and said: "The two brothers are just having fun. Xiao Shiqi likes his younger brother. Concubine, I don't have to worry about it. Let the two brothers play by themselves and they can spend a long time in the lake..."
Kangxi wiped his hands, there seemed to be hesitation on his face.
Yifei knew that this was getting to the point.
What's the topic?
Yifei was thinking, her eyes also fell on the wooden horse, and she couldn't help but feel a little worried...
Xiao Qi...
Yi Fei withdrew her gaze, grabbed a few pumpkin seeds, peeled them, and put them in a three-inch plate.
Kangxi glanced at her and saw that she was concentrating on peeling melon seeds, and said: "Eat less this in summer, it is very oily and dry..."
Yifei put down the melon seeds and said, "I'm sorry to say that, I've been greedy these past two days. I ate two more handfuls and my mouth blistered."
Then, she told Peilan: "Make a cup of Kuding tea, and give the Emperor a cup of chrysanthemum tea."
Perrin responded.
Kangxi looked at Concubine Yi and said: "Last year, the Queen Mother once mentioned something to me, saying that Concubine Shuhui wanted to adopt Shi Qi Ge Ge, but I asked the imperial doctor and found that Shi Qi Ge Ge had weak lungs and had If you have qi disease, you will get sick when the season changes. I'm afraid I won't be able to stand up..."
Seventeen Gege is the current youngest daughter of the emperor, the daughter of Liu, the concubine of the Zhongcui Palace. She was born in the twelfth month of the thirty-seventh year. She was only three years old, but was actually only one and a half years old.
Concubine Yi was also a nirvana. When she heard the news, she felt uncomfortable in her heart and said worriedly: "Now that I am one year old, isn't the most difficult time over?"
Kangxi shook his head and said: "Children are difficult to raise. Before vaccination, there were many obstacles. Even if Seventeen Gege survives these years, he is so weak that he cannot get vaccinated..."
Concubine Yi was smart and understood what Kangxi meant, and said, "Your Majesty, is Seventeenth Brother going to be vaccinated?"
Kangxi nodded and said: "I will order you to go down and prepare the mature seedlings, and wait until the winter moon to vaccinate the seventeenth brother."
The time for vaccination in Beijing is mostly in the second month of winter and the first lunar month.
Although Concubine Yi had known about this day for a long time, she was still worried and said: "Please, Your Majesty, please allow me to follow you and take care of you when the time comes. I've had flowers before, so I'm not afraid of this..."
The prince's vaccination must be done outside the palace, in a special vaccination center.
Kangxi shook his head and said: "Don't be ridiculous, you still have 18th brother to take care of..."
Having said this, he paused and said: "When the seventeenth prince returns to the palace after being vaccinated against acne, he will move to Ningshou Palace..."
Yifei pouted, with a look of displeasure on her face. She was silent for a while and then nodded.
Kangxi took her hand and said: "There is nothing we can do about this. If we let the concubine teach Princess, we will have to separate our flesh and blood when she cares for Meng. A standing brother will not need the concubine to work hard, but he can also support her." Beneath the knees..."
Concubine Yi nodded and said, "That's my grandmother too. Princes should be filial, but I'm just a little reluctant to let go. Xiao Qi is caring and well-behaved."
When Kangxi saw this, he couldn't bear it anymore and said: "Chen Guiren will not move the palace, but is still in Yikun Palace. When the seventeenth brother comes over, you can see him often."
Yi Fei nodded, tears flashing in her eyes.
She can see him, but he is no longer her adopted son.
She can only be a concubine like the other concubines. From now on, it will be up to Concubine Shuhui to decide on the food and daily life of the Seventeenth Prince, as well as whether he will go to school to get married in the future...

In the North Fifth Institute, looking at the menu being circled by everyone, Brother Jiu couldn't help but complain.
"Hahahaha, the one who ordered the shark's fin and bird's nest must be the third brother. It's not enough to take advantage of him. It doesn't matter whether it suits your taste or not. Just pick the most expensive one..."
Shu Shu said: "Even if we don't include these items, we still need to add a few big dishes. We can't have a dinner with home-cooked dishes."
Brother Jiu continued to watch and said: "The secret lamb chops and pot-roasted pork are from Fourteen, and the braised pig's trotters and roasted turtle dove are Thirteen's favorites..."
"Big Brother's is boiled fish and spicy beef? Tsk tsk! You have a pimple on your face, but you love spicy food so much, and you're not afraid of getting angry..."
"I've seen the people in Fifth Brother's circle. There's nothing but meat. Dongpo pork, lion's head, braised pork elbow, steamed pork with rice noodles. They're all so fat, and they only order fat meat..."
"Huh? Hot waist and rotten garlic sausage, are they so heavy-handed? Is this the seventh brother? I really didn't notice it, haha..."
Seeing the end, Brother Jiu couldn't help laughing out loud.
Shu Shushi couldn't help but pinched him and said: "It's true, I can even arrange flowers after ordering a dish..."
Speaking of this, she thought of the twelfth elder brother and said: "Let the twelfth elder brother also draw two lines tomorrow, don't neglect it."
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "I know, I know, it's right under my nose. I don't believe I can still pass by Twelve."
There was no words for the whole night, and the next day Brother Nine went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Seeing this, the twelfth elder brother stood up with a look of surprise on his face.
Didn’t you say yesterday that you wouldn’t come today?
Arrange the plan well.
Obviously, what I said before was that I would be in Changchun Garden every other day, but now it became that I would be in Changchun Garden two days out of three.
Brother Jiu said: "I have something to arrange..."
With that said, he told He Yuzhu: "Go to Gao's house and call Lao Gao over... Then go to the Prince's Mansion and call Cao Shun..."
Here, Gao Yanzhong wants to take off the prince's ceremonial duties and directly replace him as the head doctor of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Cao Shun had hired a third-class guard before, so there was no need for trouble. He could just go back to Jiangnan in the name of "visiting relatives."
He lost his first wife and only had one daughter in Jiangning, so he could take her back by the way.
When He Yuzhu went out, the ninth elder brother took out the menu, handed it to the twelfth elder brother and said: "Your sister-in-law asked me to draw, it looks good, at least two, at most four, make it honestly, it will save your sister-in-law the trouble of preparing the table..." …”
The twelfth elder brother listened carefully, looked at it carefully, and then ordered two dishes, eight-treasure tofu and yam and fungus.
Brother Jiu frowned and said, "You are so thin. Do you have the wrong diet? Do you eat less meat on weekdays? Don't you like meat?"
The twelfth elder brother frowned and said: "Ninth brother, pork has a smell, I don't like to eat it."
The prince's daily food supply is mainly pork, six pounds of pork, and ten chickens and ducks every month.
Brother Jiu's face turned ugly after hearing this, and said: "Is it a taste of being a kid? Is it still a taste of it now?"
The twelfth elder brother was a little confused. He thought for a while and said, "It seems to have always been smelly."
Brother Jiu immediately made a call and ordered: "Go to the imperial dining room and call the principal over..."
The post was echoed.
The twelfth elder brother looked a little confused.
Brother Jiu said angrily: "The pork in the palace, the pork supplied to the master is fifty kilograms of piglets, how can it smell? The ones with strong smell and fishy smell are the large ones supplied to the palace people and eunuchs." pork!"
The twelfth elder brother did not expect this distinction. He almost never eats pork. He rarely eats pork when he has eaten out for a few meals. He has no idea that there is such a difference.
The twelfth elder brother said: "What about the little pork?"
Brother Jiu sneered: "I also want to know..."
After a while, the steward of the imperial dining room arrived.
Seeing Brother Jiu's expression look bad, the boss became a little more careful.
Brother Jiu didn't rush to lecture him, he just sneered and said, "I want to see if I have wronged you!"
The man was frightened, but he was confused and didn't know where to start.
After a while, there was a movement outside. It was Sun Jin who brought two eunuchs from the Fifth Ganxi Institute.
The two eunuchs were carrying baskets in their hands, and inside were the twelfth prince's gifts for today.
Big pork and small pork can be clearly seen at a glance and cannot be faked.
The eyes of the ninth elder brother were about to burst into flames. He pointed at the pork and said, "Is this the case for the twelfth elder brother?"
The principal was still a little confused and said hesitantly: "It should be so..."
Brother Jiu said angrily: "How did you get here as an official? You only have tea on duty all day long? You can't even tell the difference between good and bad pork?"
The manager was so frightened that he knelt down and said, "It's my servant's negligence. Normally, the deputy chef below is responsible for the selection of ingredients!"
"Check! Let's see which bastard was in charge. He only changed the twelfth brother, or other places as well..."
Brother Jiu looked at the man with a cold face and said: "Whoever is found responsible will be sent directly to the Criminal Punishment Department. If you can't find it... go to the Criminal Punishment Department yourself to charge up!"
The boss hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Master Jiu, please calm down. I will investigate carefully! I will investigate carefully!"
Brother Jiu snorted coldly: "Go back and tell those uncles to clean up their tails. The fate of the Ma family and the Wei family in front of them is there. Even the prince can't be a backer. What do they have as slaves?"
The boss was submissive.
Brother Jiu took out a breath and said: "Even if I am angry, one day I will be so angry that you will be left behind too?!"
The manager was sweating all over and was scared to death.
After finishing the training, Brother Jiu waved his hand and said, "Okay, get lost. Within three days, I will wait for news from the Division of Punishment, and then think about how to report to the emperor..."
The chief kowtowed and retired respectfully.
The twelfth prince looked a little ugly.
Has this been caused by the lake for ten years?
Brother Jiu looked at him and said, "Look, a slave has bullied you. If you don't stand up, will you marry Fujin and let Fujin follow you and be bullied?"
The twelfth elder brother waited for a long time before he said: "Has the ninth brother been touched by the lake?"
Brother Jiu rolled his eyes.
A wicked child, do you still need to ask this?
Really can't speak.
Stab the heart.
My own prince's warehouse has been emptied, what is it if it's not Lake Alley?
