The swansong of the swansong

Chapter 78: Examination of Injuries in the Qianqing Palace

The necessary skill for people in the palace is to be alert to the traps set by bad guys at any time and anywhere. Otherwise, you will die without knowing how you died.

At this time, Yinyou's wet nurse, Nanny Zhang, arrived in time. She walked over, held Nanny Zhang's hand, and whispered, "It's the master's business, why should servants like you and me meddle in it? Stay still and I'll keep you safe. If you say or do anything wrong, not to mention your future support, your head will be chopped off immediately."

Older gingers are more spicy!
As Yinyou's career progressed, Nanny Zhang's market value also skyrocketed N times!
The wet nurse of the new chief steward of the Imperial Household Department, tsk tsk, I want to curry favor with him but I’m afraid I won’t find a way!
After Kangxi took power, Cao Yin's stepmother, Lady Sun, received three thousand taels of silver in congratulatory money in one day.

When one person succeeds, his followers will also benefit from it. This is an objective law that cannot be changed by human will!
Outside the house, the wet nurses were fighting.

In the room, Yinyou abused Old Eighteen to the point that he was unable to take care of himself.

Old Eighteen was in excruciating pain, but no one could help him, no matter how hard he tried.

After crying for more than an hour, Old Eighteen, who was only five years old after all, finally got tired of crying and became obedient.

Yinyou secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the old man was young, otherwise he would not be able to control him.

When Yinyou appeared in front of everyone holding Old Eighteen's little hand, everyone clearly saw Old Eighteen's swollen eyes, but no one dared to say a word.

In order to save their heads, everyone present wisely kept their mouths shut.

Since everyone was so tactful, Yinyu naturally couldn't treat them unfairly, so he immediately ordered, "Come on, everyone who serves the eighteenth brother will be rewarded with ten taels of silver."

The silver was lubricated just right, and Old Eighteen's swollen eyes from crying were ignored by everyone.

For a moment, the originally tense atmosphere relaxed.

Yinyou brought the Eighteenth Prince and lived in his courtyard.

As for the people around Old Eighteen, they were temporarily physically isolated by Yinyou and were not allowed to get close to Old Eighteen.

There is no way. The eunuchs and palace maids around Old Eighteen are too servile.

As long as they stay with Lao Shiba, they will habitually behave themselves.

For half a month, Yinyou and Lao Shiba ate and lived together and never left each other's side.

If the Eighteenth Prince was a little disobedient, Yinwei would pinch his skin and make him cry.

When a child cries, how long can he last as long as there is no one around?
After being tossed around countless times, the spoiled Old Eighteen finally began to give in.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Yinyu led the Eighteenth Prince and entered the palace with a sign to congratulate Kangxi on the New Year.

When Kangxi saw the obedient Old Eighteen, his jaw almost dropped.

Facing Kangxi's puzzled look, Yinyu explained calmly: "My dear Khan, if you are not ruthless now, you will be a disaster in the future sooner or later."

Kangxi thought of the arrogant and rude prince and fell into silence.

At this moment, Lao Shiba suddenly said pitifully: "Damn it, he hit me!"

Kangxi immediately glared at Yinyou, hoping that he would give a reasonable explanation.

"Khan Ama, you are reluctant to hit him now, but will others be reluctant to do so in the future?" Yinyu told the truth and poked directly into Kangxi's trachea.

The emperor’s own father couldn’t bear to beat him, so could it be that the emperor’s brother also couldn’t bear to be cruel to him?

Yinyou's words were a bit confusing, but they actually implied that he had no ambition to ascend to the throne and only wanted to be a leisurely and comfortable prince.

As for the emperor’s brother, it could only be someone else!
Please note, it is the Fifteenth Idle Kings, not the Eighth Wise Kings!

However, Kangxi felt sorry for the young cub after all, so he ordered someone to take the Eighteenth Old Man away to examine his injuries.

Yinyou was just pulling the skin in different places, so how could there be any external injuries?
After paying his respects, when he heard that he would follow Yinyou back, the Eighteenth Prince pouted on the spot.

Yinyu glared at her and shouted in a deep voice: "Don't cry!"

The pitiful look of Old Eighteen, who was holding back tears and wanted to cry but didn't dare to, made Kangxi angry but also somewhat relieved.

What Yinyou said is actually a wise saying. How could Kangxi not understand it?
As Kangxi grew older, it was unknown how long he could continue to dote on the Eighteenth Emperor. Kangxi, who was well-versed in history, knew very well that the emperors before him generally did not live past 50.

This year, Kangxi was already fifty-three years old, and his health had always been poor.

"Hmph, if he makes the slightest mistake, you'll be in trouble!" Kangxi had to uphold the dignity of his father.

"Yeah." Yinyou responded loudly and politely.

As for how to discipline Old Eighteen after returning, hehe, that’s another story.

After all the princes gathered, they went to Ningshou Palace under the leadership of Kangxi to congratulate the Empress Dowager on the New Year.

The first day of the Chinese New Year is called Yuandan or Zhengdan by the Banner people. It is the grandest festival of the year.

After entering the hall, Kangxi was the first, followed by the crown prince, and then the third brother. They all belonged to a unique class.

The eldest, the fourth, the fifth, the seventh and the eighth, all Beile, knelt in a row.

Logically speaking, Yinyou, who had been promoted to Beizi, should be ranked ahead of the ninth and tenth princes without titles.

However, Yinyou didn't want to arouse too much envy, so he simply knelt in the second to last row with the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth brothers.

Behind them were the young princes, wearing open-crotch pants, with runny noses, and held in the arms of their wet nurses.

Anyway, in the eyes of the Empress Dowager, there are only the Fifth Prince and Princess Wenxian, and the other princes and princesses are just transparent background boards.

"Your son Xuanye, congratulates mother, the Empress Dowager, on the New Year's Day."

In private, Kangxi called her E'ne or Empress Dowager E'ne, both were acceptable.

However, in formal occasions, it must be the Queen Mother or the Empress Dowager!

My mother is the Empress Dowager, and my legal mother is also the Empress Dowager!

If Kangxi's biological mother was still alive, she would be the Holy Mother Empress Dowager.

The Virgin Mary gave birth to the emperor.

If your biological mother is the queen of the previous dynasty, then congratulations. You can skip the titles of Queen Mother and Holy Mother and just directly call her Empress Dowager.

"Everyone, get up!" The elegant and graceful empress dowager waved her hand majestically, asking everyone to stand up.

"Emperor, you have worked hard. Sit here and talk to me."

Yinyou, who was kneeling in the back row, secretly found it funny. In movies and TV dramas, "Ai Jia" was everywhere, but in fact, it was totally wrong.

"Yes." Kangxi responded with a smile, and then sat down opposite the Empress Dowager, which was his old seat.

The princes were lined up on both sides according to their ranks.

The Empress Dowager glanced around the room and suddenly discovered that the young Eighteenth Year was standing obediently with Yinyou, not moving a muscle.

"Oh, Emperor, little Eighteen is so well-behaved and sensible?" The Queen Mother immediately became curious, but she still spoke in Mongolian, "Last time, this little monkey almost tore down the roof of my house."

The extremely noble Empress Dowager spoke Mongolian all her life, and it was impossible for her to change it as she grew old.

Kangxi glanced at the Eighteenth Prince, then at Yinyou, and explained with a smile, "Empress Dowager, the Eighteenth Prince will be living outside the palace for a while. I have informed you of this before." He also spoke in Mongolian.

"Oh, hi, look at my memory. I'm really getting old and confused." The Queen Mother stroked her forehead slightly exaggeratedly, blaming herself for her bad memory.

In fact, everyone present knew that the Empress Dowager not only didn't care about anything, but was also very good at pretending to be confused.

PS: I still need 400 votes, which is the usual 200 votes. If I catch up, I will add one more chapter. If I can stay in the top ten of the monthly votes, I will add two more chapters.
