Concubine Yi looked at Kangxi and said: "Compared with outsiders, there is a father-daughter relationship, but compared with the father-son relationship, this father-daughter relationship will lag behind. The world is like this, there is nothing to complain about. , my mother gave birth to me and nursed me for ten months. In her heart, Daobao and I must be ranked ahead of others. Even if she values Daobao more, she would not treat me lightly. If my mother really loves me. , there would have been no such thing as nobles entering the palace back then, but I was young at the time and couldn't figure it out, so I believed Ama's words about the mutual support of flesh and blood..."
She participated in the talent show held in the twelfth lunar month of the fifteenth year of Kangxi's reign, and became one of the two famous ladies in the House of Internal Affairs. She officially entered the palace on the 27th of the first lunar month of the following year and lived directly in the back hall of Yikun Palace.
Half a year later, the Guo Luoluo family sent the widowed Guo Guiren into the palace as a concubine to live with Yi Fei on the grounds that Concubine Yi was not pregnant.
Kangxi was sarcastic when mentioning the past.
At that time, she only regarded the three officials as being kind and caring, and was not worried about her daughter being alone in the palace. She arranged for the eldest daughter to enter the palace to help Concubine Yi.
But after looking at it over the years, I realized that Sanguan Bao valued the children from his legitimate wife more than the eldest daughter and eldest son from his side wife, so his intentions back then were very hateful.
How much love can there be between father and daughter?
In her early years, Concubine Yi, like other concubines, cared for and rewarded her natal family a lot, but since her biological mother died of illness, she has gradually become alienated, and she must have known this well.
The relationship between father and daughter is so weak and unreflective, but what about the relationship between sister and brother?
My biological mother entered the palace when she was a teenager. At that time, the two uncles Tong Guogang and Tong Guowei had just grown their hair and the other had just lost their teeth. They were separated from each other in the palace, so how could they have any affection?
The relationship between sister and brother cannot withstand scrutiny, and the relationship between uncle and nephew is even more false.
Kangxi felt bored.
Amma, who is also a princess himself, is also the brother of the eldest princess.
The relationship between brother and sister, or the relationship between father and daughter, really comes second to the relationship between father and son.
Seeing Kangxi's depressed mood, Concubine Yi thought that her previous words were too straightforward and inconsistent with the current filial piety.
She sighed and said: "Women are all petty, and I am no exception. In my early years, I was thinking about fairness and so on, and wanted Amma to love me more. But when I have a child, I know what the 'five' is." Fingers may be long or short...
Also born to me, Lao Wu has his shortcomings, but I always feel that he is loyal and loyal, as long as he doesn’t suffer in the future, I don’t dare to control him as much as I pay attention to him; when it comes to Lao Jiu, I don’t care how big he is when he is a child. He is naughty and kind-hearted, but I am always a little less patient with him. I feel that he is unsatisfactory and fails in civil and military studies, which makes the emperor worry...
The love between mother and son can be thick or thin, let alone the love between father and son...
Without the ten months of pregnancy, all that is left is 'love the house and the bird'..."
Kangxi said nothing more, rolled up a piece of cake and ate it.
It's quite refreshing to eat this in the morning.
Not only women are petty, men are also petty.
After all, he was the one who was demanding.
He praised the Tong family and hoped that the Tong family would be grateful and become his ministers, loyal to the emperor and the country.
But the Tong family are just ordinary people. They are no different from other noble families. Loyalty to the emperor comes after family interests and the future of their children and grandchildren...

Ninth Princess Mansion, main room.
Bu Xi and Jiu Gege sat opposite each other, both husband and wife were a little at a loss.
The two of them were here at their age and had experienced very few things. They knew that something had happened to the government in the east, and they didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
Jiu Gege frowned, but his heart was very clear.
Khan Ama is wise, if the Tong family is punished, it will be the Tong family's fault.
With Longkoduo scorning the prince in front of him, Elundai has always been an arrogant person in the Eight Banners, and it is not uncommon for him to make any mistakes.
She would only be impatient with the Tong family, feeling that they were dissatisfied and causing the royal family to worry, but she would not be as uneasy as Bu Xi.
Bu Xi rubbed his face, looked at Jiu Gege and said: "Gege, as a son of a man, I don't want to be indifferent and keep to myself. I always have to go to the imperial palace, but maybe I will be in trouble."
Jiu Gege looked at Bu Xi. He was not old, but he was an understanding person.
When it comes to setting up a good life, sometimes you can weigh the pros and cons, but sometimes you can't.
So even if you know you can't do it, you still have to do it sometimes.
She nodded and said: "It's okay, my husband-in-law, go ahead. The worst result is that my husband-in-law will be grounded too."
After Bu Xi heard this, he squeezed Jiu Gege's hand and said, "Well, Gege, don't worry about me..."
After the couple made up their mind, Bu Xi got up and left the princess's house, and went into the palace to see her.
Nanny Lin, Jiu Gege's wet nurse, is her dowry and is still working as a servant for Jiu Gege.
Seeing that Bu Xi didn't say anything else, Aunt Lin said to Jiu Gege: "Finally, my consort is still understanding, and she doesn't have that bastard thought of hiding behind and encouraging the princess to enter the palace to inquire. Otherwise, she will It’s time to establish good rules.”
Jiu Gege looked at Nanny Lin and said: "Teach him slowly. If you can maintain the current situation, it will be worry-free. If he doesn't comply, let's wait."
Nanny Lin nodded and said: "Princess, it's good to know what you know, but don't believe those gossips about husbands and wives. The king and the minister are in front of the husband and wife, with clear distinctions of superiority and inferiority. Just be polite to each other. If you are too easy-going, you will easily get offended by others and make you angry." , the so-called women are humble, that’s what they say to outsiders, the princess’s bloodline is only noble..."

Outside Qianqing Palace, Bu Xi handed over a sign to invite him, but there was no movement.
After standing there for an hour, at noon, Kangxi sent Liang Jiugong out.
"Nine foreheads consort, the emperor's decree..."
Liang Jiugong arrived and said to Bu Xi.
Bu Xi knelt down in a hurry.
Liang Jiugong said: "The emperor said, take Bu Xi back to the princess's mansion, stay there honestly, and don't run around!"
Bu Xi kowtowed and took the oral instructions, but felt much more at ease in his heart.
Ken was scolded, but there was no other punishment. It felt a bit like "disaster for fish in the pond", but the impact was not too big.
It can be deduced from this that things on Ama's side should not be big.
Then just wait quietly and wait for the emperor to calm down.
He humbly agreed and left the palace to return to the princess' mansion.
Kangxi sighed after hearing Buyi's reaction.
He already regretted it.
At that time, when Shun Anyan was not suitable, he should choose Jiugege's son-in-law from another family.
The matter has come to this, there is no use regretting, we can only think of the brighter future.
Buxi has a peaceful temperament, not as violent as Tamarfa and Ama, so he should be able to get along well with Jiu Gege.
Longkodo's wife and children are already on their way back to Beijing. We need to think more about how to explain Longkodo's death to the outside world.
As the world is at peace and there are no wars to gain military glory, the disputes between the princes' mansions and noble families about seizing the title become increasingly fierce. Everyone is eyeing the worldly title left by their ancestors.
For example, the Dong E family's "nephew to uncle" last year and the internal fighting in Sunubei's house this year are all related to the title in the final analysis.
The atmosphere of the Eight Banners was ruined.
Instead of bravery, there is more sinister plotting.
This must be carefully considered and we must not set a bad precedent.
Thinking of the rhetoric outside, Kangxi was speechless about the matter of Ninth Prince Fangren.
Some people actually believe this illusory thing, and it is nothing more than spreading rumors.
Why does no one think about the dignity and inferiority of the law?
However, he is planning to promote Hangzhou Weaving Jin Yiren to be the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Beijing. When the time comes to clean up the Jin family, he is afraid that there will be more examples of the "fangren" incident of the ninth elder brother.
Kangxi couldn't help but laugh when he thought of this. He wondered if Brother Jiu would be confused by then, whether he believed this argument or not...

Miyun Palace.
Brother Jiu took a rest and felt refreshed. He was thinking about fishing in the afternoon and said to Shu Shu: "Since it is a big river in ancient times, will there be big fish in it? Maybe we will be lucky and catch a big fish. , have a good meal then!”
Shu Shu wasn't familiar with this, and couldn't tell what the upper limit of river fish was, but if there was a big fish, not only would it be spread by word of mouth, but it would also be recorded in the county annals.
Nowadays, I have never heard of it, so I probably don’t have it.
However, she did not lose interest and nodded: "The fat-headed fish I bought a few days ago is two and a half feet long. One fish head can be divided into four plates. It would be great if I could catch such a big fish today. Then I can eat the whole fish." feast……"
Brother Jiu felt a lot of pressure and was afraid that Shu Shu would be disappointed, so he said: "River fresh food is not only fish. When the time comes, we will look at other things. You can also try river shrimps, river mussels and so on."
Shu Shu had no feelings for river clams, but was thinking about snails.
The main kitchen of the palace served mutton soup today. Four sheep bought from the county were stewed directly in a big pot.
This is for the people who are accompanying you to eat.
Brother Jiu and Shu Shu's meal here is relatively simple, just sesame pancakes with eggs and a few side dishes.
However, the two of them have been vegetarian for three days, which is about it. They plan to eat meat tonight.
The carriage had been prepared long ago.
There are enough fishing rods and nets needed by the river.
Everyone in the Prince's Mansion, except Fu Qing who brought the guards to rest, followed Brother Jiu out.
It's a coincidence that there are two river systems in the upper reaches of the Chaobai River. The Bai River comes from the northwest, outside the mouth, north of Zhangjiakou; the Chao River comes from the northeast, which is Rehe, where they want to go.
The two rivers meet in Miyun and become the Chaobai River.
This tidal river flows right through Gubeikou.
Everyone said they were going to the Chaobai River, but in fact they were going to the Chaohe River in front of them, about twenty miles away from the palace.
Brother Jiu helped Shu Shu get on the carriage and said to Shu Shu: "If this were ancient times and roads had not been built yet, then we could go north along the river and reach Rehe."
Shu Shu said: "No wonder people say that reading thousands of books is worse than traveling thousands of miles. If you didn't listen to Mr. Cao's words, you would never know that the Chaohe River actually originates from the Northeast."
The Nenjiang River and the Liaohe River were also known to later generations.
Maybe the Chaohe River water area is too small.
Brother Jiu thought of something else and said, "Huh? If we take a boat, can't we go back to Beijing directly from Rehe?"
After a southern tour, everyone knows that taking a boat is much more comfortable than taking a car.
Shu Shu said: "I can take a good look, but the so-called source is mostly a trickle, which may not be able to carry a boat. Also, the royal road from here to Mulan Paddock was built a few years ago. The road condition is relatively good, and the speed of riding a horse is not very fast." It will be slow.”
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "You are right. Let's take a look at it then..."
The twenty-mile journey took the carriage half an hour to arrive.
When we arrived, everyone was dumbfounded and finally understood why it was called Chaohe River.
The water is rushing and its sound is like the tide.
Compared with the Yellow River and Huaihe River that Shu Shu and Jiu Age had seen, Chaohe River looked like a stubborn child.
Because of the dry season, the water surface is not wide, only twenty to thirty feet.
However, because it is a river in the mountains, the rocks on both sides of the river bank are mainly caused by the impact.
Looking at the way the river rushes down, it is not a place where fishing and netting can be done...
