Brother Jiu is not the only one who thinks too much.
When Yuqing Palace got the news, the prince thought too much.
He also knew that there was a Crown Princess in the East Palace, and even if she came over again, her status would not be too high.
The two princesses of Dong E's family were from a wealthy family and their fathers were not of high rank. One of them should be admitted to the Yuqing Palace.
It's just that he has more patience, this is not something he can interfere with.
A beautiful lady staying in the palace means that she should avoid it before and after marriage. There are princes and royal family members, and perhaps concubines in the harem.
There was a precedent of marrying concubines, and no one knew whether the emperor's father would fill the harem as a beautiful girl of the Eight Banners again.
Nowadays, it is easy to catch the news of beautiful girls.
He looked up at the eunuch in charge and said, "Jin Yiren hasn't come over to say hello yet?"
The eunuch in charge said: "Master Jin went to Qianqing Palace."
The prince frowned, what did he find out?
Who is tampering with Xian'an Palace?
Is it aimed at Yuqing Palace?
Or is it because of the civil strife in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and others are giving Jin Yiren, the new general manager, "power"?

At the gate of Qianqing Palace, Jin Yiren came over to ask for a meeting with the investigation results of Xian'an Palace.
He was cautious in doing things and was on guard against anyone making trouble in Xian'an Palace. Even the Shenxing Department was dispatched.
The palace attendants, nuns and eunuchs in Luncha also asked the question.
The reason why they are so nervous is because according to the Dong E family sisters, they were fine before entering the palace. This was testified by the Dong E family head and Zheng Hongqi.
To send a beautiful girl to the palace, the clan leader and the commander of the banner must come forward.
One of those two people was a father-in-law and the other was an uncle. Naturally, it was impossible for him to lie for a clan girl and deceive the palace.
After being admitted to the palace, one of them had diarrhea and had to relieve himself four times in one hour. He almost collapsed, which looked scary.
At that time, Xiu Nu had already had a breakfast and drank two rounds of tea. This was also a stressful point. She was worried that there was something wrong with the tea room in Xian'an Palace, so these were the key points to inspect.
Even Jin Yiren was overthinking it at the time. He thought that Brother Jiu specially ordered this tea room to come here. There wouldn't be anything unspeakable in it, right?
He didn't want to take the blame, so he investigated more carefully.
Nothing was found.
Excluding dietary impurity, the imperial physician gave other conclusions.
For diarrhea caused by spleen deficiency and liver stagnation, prescriptions are used to nourish the spleen, soften the liver, remove dampness and stop diarrhea.
Just the right thing.
After taking some medicine, I got some relief.
Is this the character of the Xungui family?
Jin Yiren was born with contempt.
No wonder the concubines in the harem are all in the spotlight, while Concubine Tong and Concubine Xianfu, who are not from concubines, are silent.
Only one of the concubines, taking advantage of the youth, made some movement.
After a while, a young eunuch came out and called Jin Yiren to go in.
Kangxi looked at Jin Yiren. The last time they met was when Jin Yiren had just returned to Beijing.
At that time, Jin Yiren was very reserved and cautious in answering questions; now he seems much more calm.
Is this a powerful thing?
"How is the situation of the beautiful women in Xian'an Palace?" Kangxi asked.
Jin Yiren talked about the imperial doctor's diagnosis and Xiu Nu's reaction after taking the medicine.
Kangxi nodded.
After he came to the throne, he went through many drafts, and there were times when things went wrong.
This kind of diarrhea has happened to beautiful women. The spleen deficiency and liver stagnation are all euphemisms. In fact, they are timid and frightened.
Kangxi didn't show it on his face, but he felt more disgust in his heart.
Can such a cowardly biological mother still see the royal grandson she gave birth to?
Although he valued the rituals, he also understood the difference between distance and distance.
The second eldest son of the Dong E family is not a descendant of Princess Wenzhe, and is separated from the royal family by one floor.
He wanted to promote the gift, but he would not give an unqualified beautiful girl to his son.
He looked at Jin Yiren and said, "What about the other show girls? Is there anything inappropriate?"
Jin Yiren wonders?
That was Xiu Nu. Even if he went to Xian'an Palace to investigate the matter in the morning, he would only be outside the palace gate. How could he go in without knowing the rules?
Besides, it only took half a day, and there was no place to inquire.
Jin Yiren thought carefully and replied: "I don't know. I am careless. I only care about the beautiful lady here."
Kangxi did not ask Xiu Nu again, but asked: "How is the weaving field in Tongzhou?"
He got the news and knew that after the twelfth elder brother took Gao Yanzhong to Tongzhou, Jin Yiren also brought his nephew there and recommended his son to be the head of the agency. The ninth elder brother was also approved.
This was not very comfortable in Kangxi's eyes.
Thinking that Jin Yiren was really used to being the "Tu Emperor" in Hangzhou, he also gained power in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Brother Jiu was not satisfied with the general duties he had given him, and even wanted to get involved with outside properties.
Jin Yiren never thought that things had gone wrong. He thought that the emperor, like the ninth elder brother, was not trusting of laymen.
He said confidently: "Your Majesty, don't worry. Although the previous management was somewhat inadequate and the proportion of weavers and dyers allocated was not too large, the problems are not major and have been adjusted."
Kangxi praised: "Aiqing is indeed an old man in weaving. Brother Jiu has been struggling for three years, but it's still not good enough. He still needs Aiqing's help to check it out before he can succeed."
Jin Yiren hurriedly said humbly: "The slave is just picking up the pieces and filling in the gaps. The credit belongs to Master Jiu. Cao Zhizao also worked hard."
Kangxi said: "Everyone has contributed, I know it well..."
After coming down from the imperial court, Jin Yiren felt a little lighter.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs is in charge of the palace, and there are more than three or five major and minor affairs every day.
Perhaps, he will have more opportunities to meet Your Majesty in the future than imagined...

In the Qianqing Palace, Kangxi was meeting Zhao Chang.
Zhao Chang had just returned from outside the customs after a long journey.
Last month, he was ordered to leave the customs and go to the Wula Yamen to investigate the amount of ginseng imported into the customs in recent years.
In addition to the recorded ginseng, there are also some private garden ginseng, which are estimated based on the ginseng fields and the middle number is taken.
In one year, more than 7,000 kilograms of ginseng is needed.
However, only half of the customs duties were collected, and only about 1,200 kilograms entered the palace.
Those ginseng sold privately cost more than two hundred thousand taels of silver a year.
Kangxi looked at the amount in his hand and his face turned dark.
When the water is clear, there will be no fish, and you will not be afraid of small greed. This kind of big greed cannot be tolerated.
This is not drinking soup with the royal family, but the slave eating meat and letting the master drink soup.
This is because he doesn't take the royal family into his heart at all, he digs out the royal family's money and enriches his own pocket.
Kangxi put down the folder and handed Zhao Chang the list that Brother Jiu had given him in the morning, and then said: "In addition to these people, we have begun to investigate the Jin family's property. In addition to the Jin family father and son, his family members must also be thoroughly investigated! In addition to the file recorders of the Eight Banners Division, Property and private property that are not registered are also being investigated!”
Jin Yiren has been in Beijing for more than a month, and he is starting to check now. It should be almost before the Dragon Boat Festival.
Zhao Chang agreed, hesitated for a moment, and did not go down immediately.
Kangxi looked at him.
Zhao Chang said: "Master, I just heard the boy mentioned in private that after Jin Yiren came to Beijing, there were many banquets..."
Kangxi said: "Check, I want to see who his backer is in the capital!"
Is it Prince Anjun’s Mansion?
Is it the Hesheli family?
Or is there someone else?
He remembered clearly that King An once sent his steward to the south of the Yangtze River to purchase a boatload of good things. The excuse at the time was to prepare a dowry for Ba Fujin, but in fact most of the good things from the south of the Yangtze River were purchased privately by the brothers of King An. Well, when Bafujin got married, many of the dowries used were hand-me-downs from Bafujin’s biological mother.
Was the silver purchased at that time brought from the capital, or was it ginseng silver directly withdrawn from Jiangnan?
Kangxi wanted to find out.
Zhao Chang responded and went down.
Kangxi once again looked at the greeting envelope for officials from other places, read it twice with the greeting envelope for Shanxi's chief envoy, and wrote a reply...

Ninth Prince's Mansion, go to the upper room.
"Sister-in-law Jiu, look..."
Shi Fujin was spinning on the ground, with a happy face on his face, and said, "Have I lost weight?"
She and her tenth brother came back yesterday afternoon. They set off on the second day of February. Including the round trip, they were out of Beijing for a total of 21 days.
The effect is quite obvious.
The curve of the chin is obvious, and the waist has been retracted by more than an inch.
Shi Fujin felt different. He touched his flattened belly and said, "It was a bit uncomfortable to sit down earlier, but now I feel much more comfortable."
Shu Shu nodded and said: "I have lost weight, and it is rare that I look good."
In the past two years, Shi Fujin has been trying to make a fool of himself, but every time he failed to persist, he always failed due to greed.
This time in Hongluo Temple, I didn’t have much to eat, and I still climbed the mountain every day to be pious, and the effect was obvious.
It's just that she's still far from a healthy weight.
Shu Shu said: "If you want to keep it up and persist after returning to Beijing, you can discuss it with your tenth brother and see whether you should go hiking in Xishan Mountain or ride horses every day. If you move around, you can continue to lose weight. "
Shi Fujin sat down and was drinking Pu'er tea.
After listening to Shu Shu's words, she put down the tea cup and nodded: "We discussed it on the way back. Master Shi said that we will move to my brother's house tomorrow, so that we can go hiking with me every morning, just in time when it is not too cold or too hot. , when the weather gets hotter, I will be almost as thin..."
Shu Shu was a little surprised when he heard this.
Tomorrow this time, only the Wubeile Mansion planned to go to Changchun Garden, and there was no movement from the other princes' mansions.
Everyone understands the Wubeile Mansion, because the Queen Mother is here, and it is convenient for the Fifth Prince and his wife to go there and pay their respects.
Other mansions have their own affairs, and it is impossible to live outside the city with them all the time.
Since I have free time during the Chinese New Year, it is naturally more convenient to live in the city on weekdays.
But if the Tenth Prince and his wife lived outside the city, the Ninth Prince's temper would probably follow them.
Shi Fujin obviously didn't think of this, he had already stood up and said: "I want to go see our Fengsheng and Akdan, I have thought about it..."
Shu Shu got up and accompanied him directly to Ning'an Hall.
In the afternoon, the two little brothers were in Ning'an Hall.
Spring is warm.
In Ning'an Hall, Mrs. Bo asked the girl to carry the carpet to the yard, where several children were playing outside.
Akdan is well-behaved and quiet, willing to sit rather than walk.
Mrs. Bo took the toy and Akdan ignored it.
On the other hand, Fengsheng and Niguzhu cooperated very well and walked from one side of the carpet to the other.
The difference is that Ni Guzhu is impatient and can only walk and crawl; Feng Sheng is much more stable, just slow.
Shu Shu and Shi Fujin walked in and watched with gusto.
Madam Bo stood up when she saw the two people coming in.
The three children also looked over.
Ni Guzhu immediately said "Ahhh" twice and came to Shushu.
Shu Shu hurriedly caught it.
Shi Fujin looked at the sitting Akdan and the standing Fengsheng, and he was entangled, not knowing which one he should hug...
