MTL - Female Official In the East Palace-Chapter 202
The relationship between Kangxi and the prince and his son has long been foreshadowed. The prince was only depressed because of the death of his teacher, Tang Bin, so he was particularly sensitive.
After Rong Xin learned about it, he understood that the prince finally chose to step back.
And the relationship between them has indeed eased. Rong Xin sees the prince's mood improving, and pretends that nothing happened that day, and it is peaceful.
At the end of the first month, Kangxi took the eldest grandson of the emperor, the fourth elder brother Yinzhen, the seventh elder brother Yinyou and the thirteen elder brother Yinxiang to patrol the Yongding River. Brother Yinqi replaced Fourth Brother and Seventh Brother with Kangxi to inspect the Yongding River embankment.
The prince is still in custody.
In early April, the censor again impeached Shaanxi officials for embezzling money for disaster relief.
At this time, Brother Jiu went up and asked to go to Shaanxi. The prince asked him to go to Yuqing Palace to explain the reason.
lock up.
When Jiu Ge arrived at Yuqing Palace, the gate of Yuqing Palace was about to open, a gust of wind blew in, Rong Xin subconsciously coughed twice, then stood in front of Dongzhu, not teaching her blow to the wind.
"Aunt Rong?" Brother Jiu didn't know whether the two were going to go out or what, until the doorman quickly closed the door, then he reacted and apologized, "Are you alright?"
"Cough." Rong Xin cleared his throat and said with a smile, "It's nothing, it's because of the piercing spring breeze, I take Gege for a walk every day at this time, so I'll close the front door for the time being, you Don't blame."
Brother Jiu shook his head, "Aunt Rong is polite."
He looks very much like Yi Fei Guo Luoluo, his facial lines are soft and extremely delicate, he has matured a lot after two years of work, but he still has the spirit of a teenager, and he can't bear it Live absentmindedly.
Rong Xin noticed the blushing face of the palace maid, and said calmly: "His Royal Highness Ninth Prince, His Royal Highness is waiting for you in the study, please come in."
Brother Jiu gave her a slight bow, and when he was about to walk away, he saw the person at the entrance of the side hall and immediately saluted, "Second brother, the prince."
"Come in." It was precisely when the prince learned that Jiu'er was coming, he walked to the door of the study to welcome him. After calling people in, he said to Rong Xin and Dongzhu, "Auntie, you too Come in with Dongzhu and warm up?"
Rong Xin responded with a smile, and urged, "You don't have any clothes on, don't catch a cold, go first."
The prince nodded and led Jiu elder brother into the study.
While Rong Xin hadn't even moved, Dong Zhu took small steps towards the study, and after a few steps, she found that she was not following, and looked back at Rong Xin suspiciously.
Rong Xin couldn't help but tap Dongzhu's forehead, "When did you love listening to people so much?"
Dongzhu's expression did not move, she only blinked slowly.
"It's fine." Rong Xin couldn't bear her, holding Dongzhu's hand, walking towards the prince's study, while saying, "You should also say a few words to save the prince and the prince. Concubine is disappointed."
The more Rong Xin thought about it afterwards, the more convinced that Dongzhu had made a sound, but she was always reluctant to open her mouth again, and they couldn't bear to force her, so they lived like this, not sure if it was right or not .
Dongzhu still did not make a sound, and walked into the study with Rong Xin hand in hand in silence.
The two entered together with the maid who served tea. As soon as they entered, they heard Jiu'er indignantly say: "These officials dare to fill their own pockets with the money for disaster relief in the imperial court, and they must be severely punished!"
The prince's eyes drifted to Rong Xin and Dongzhu, then turned back to Jiu'er, and said, "Drink some hot tea first."
Jiuge stopped talking, picked up the teacup obediently, and drank the tea slowly.
Rong Xin took off the cloak for Dongzhu, put it on the chair next to it, then poured her a cup of tea, and put it in her palm until it was no longer hot after touching it.
Brother Jiu finished drinking a cup of tea, and there was no one else in the study, so he said again: "In the past two years, according to the intention of the second brother of the prince, I and my staff have tried every means to fill the national treasury, but for the sake of others. Even if it costs a lot, they are still corrupt, Jiu Ye, I absolutely can’t bear it!”
The prince looked at him gently, without saying a word.
Brother Jiu quickly changed his tune and said, "Don't worry, the second brother of the prince, Huang Ama also doesn't like corrupt officials, and the younger brother will definitely seek justice for the victims of Shaanxi."
Nine elder brother is a Pixiu, he just wants to come in but not out, but in the past two years, more money has come in and more has gone out, is he seeking justice for the victims, or is he Rong Xin was very skeptical about seeking justice by himself.
"Second brother, Prince, look, can you allow my younger brother to go to Shaanxi as an imperial envoy?"
The prince picked up the teacup and pondered while drinking the tea. Brother Jiu didn't dare to disturb him, just stared at his face.
Rong Xin got up and refilled a cup of tea for Brother Jiu. When the prince put down the teacup, he filled it up for the prince.
"Aunt, just sit down." The prince asked with concern, "Did you cough again?"
Rong Xin heard the words, and deliberately expressed anger, "Which one came to report to you again, and teach you to worry, I have to talk about him."
"He did nothing wrong, how could Yinren tell you his name."
"You're protecting him..."
But they both knew in their hearts that it was only the one or two who could "tell the prince", and they were just having fun.
However, they gossip here, and one person is anxious.
Ninth Brother asked: "Prince Second Brother, you should pay attention to your younger brother. Are you allowed to go to Shaanxi?"
"Your patience is really poor." The prince's expression was not very satisfied, "So, how can I rest assured that you are going to Beijing alone?"
Brother Jiu caught the gap in the prince's words in an instant, his eyes lit up, and he said, "If there are others with you, will you allow your younger brother to leave Beijing?"
The prince paused and laughed: "If you guessed it, why don't you continue to guess, who will I teach you to go to Shaanxi with you?"
Brother Jiu rolled his eyes and guessed: "Is it one of the brothers?"
"I want to go out with the starling, but the starling can't control the younger brother, the prince and the second brother will not allow it." Jiu'er guessed with great interest, "Neither the fifth or seventh brother, Together with me, Lao Liu has to face each other all day long, but it can't be done, could it be..."
That must be the fourth brother.
Rong Xin smiled and shook his head for Jiu's self-knowledge.
In recent years, I don't know if the fourth brother is because he has to control the thorns of the sixth brother, the face becomes more serious, the princes below, except the prince and the eldest brother, are in him Don't dare to be presumptuous.
The prince affirmed Jiu's remarks, and then said: "But to send the two of you out of Beijing, you need to hurry up and report to Huang Ama. Take advantage of these few days, you can pack up. Bag, I have other things for you to do."
After hearing this, Brother Jiu got up and bowed seriously: "Prince and second brother have a life, I will do my best."
"It's not a big deal, it's just that there are often corrupt officials and cruel officials in the area. It's hard to know in the mountains and the sea, and in Beijing. I think the two of you will take this opportunity to visit in a low profile." The prince said slowly, "But if You don't need to be alarmed when you find out, send the letter to Beijing, and I will send someone to find out the truth. The two of you are only for the case of embezzling money for disaster relief in Shaanxi."
After thinking about it, Brother Jiu said: "So, it should be divided into two teams, which is more secret?"
The prince nodded, "I will plan this matter more carefully, I cannot put the two of you in danger, and I will discuss it with you before you set off."
"Okay." Brother Jiu replied, still sitting upright on the chair and looking at the prince.
The prince looked back, and after a while, asked him, "What else? If there is nothing, you can leave the palace."
Brother Jiu glanced at Rong Xin and Dongzhu, and knew that neither of them would be talkative, but he kept his voice low and whispered: "Prince second brother, younger brother didn't know before, Huang A When Ma went on a tour, the treasury had to spend so much money..."
Rong Xin and the prince were both surprised, but he didn't expect that he would even feel distressed about the money for the imperial tour.
But when I think about the appearance of Jiu Ge who always mentions spending money, he will be black in public, and Kangxi's tour, except for the Nian Yeling Jiu Ge accompanying him, the rest of the time is not listed...
Rong Xin looked at the prince, the two looked at each other, and both felt that this kind of conjecture was... absurd.
Brother Jiu continued chattering: "The second brother, the prince, will not betray the younger brother, so the younger brother dares to say in front of you that Huang Ama's heart for the tour is for the people, and can be replaced by others, saving money Isn’t it good to use this money to repair river embankments, relieve disasters, and support places? And…”
The prince immediately interrupted: "Emperor Ama has his own considerations, how can you and I judge randomly?"
Nine Brothers stopped and said angrily: "Yes, my brother made a mistake, and my brother retire."
Nine elder brothers sighed and said solemnly: "Yes."
When the nine elder brothers left, Rong Xin smiled at the prince: "I looked at these lively elder brothers, in front of your highness, very relaxed."
The prince spread out a clean piece of paper and disapproved: "It's all a bad habit brought on by the third child. Whenever something happens, I want to teach my brothers to bear it."
Rong Xin studied ink for him, "Nine elder brothers are not like this in front of others. Besides, the emperor is also happy to see that the princes have a good relationship."
The prince held the paperweight in his hand, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he couldn't do it, so he said, "I will give him all of Yinzhen's previous errands. Bad brothers."
Rong Xin's face is full of smiles, she can already think of how the three elder brothers will complain in the future, but the able ones will work harder.
Yes, Rong Xin supported: "His Royal Highness said very much, when Jiu Ge returns, you should also persuade the emperor to arrange more errands for him, otherwise how to grow up quickly."
"It's still my aunt who understands me." The prince smiled meaningfully, "Little Fourteen and Little Fifteen are not too small, especially Little Fourteen, the degree of rebelliousness is not inferior to Old Sixth. This brother from the same mother should do more homework, and he will start after the job."
Mo was almost polished, Rong Xin put down the grinding block, and suggested: "It is hard work for the fourth brother to manage the sixth brother alone, and the fourteenth brother should let the older brother lead him."
Dongzhu looked at their expressions and moved her **** to the distance.
