Since they are all worn by the Qing Dynasty, you might as well be bold and choose Kangxi!
Chapter 21: Punishing Prince 9, Kang Takes the Hook
The Ninth Prince was kneeling on the cold ground at this time. When he heard the words of the Emperor, he was shocked.
What happened? How did the Emperor know that he had someone teach Shi Gege a lesson?
There are also people called Shi Da Gege and Shi Er Gege, there are actually two Shi Geges!
So I spent all that effort today and ended up picking the wrong person!
What should Xiao Xuzi do?
Kangxi sat at the top, looking at the Ninth Prince's constantly changing face. He saw through his thoughts at a glance and smashed a teacup down on him.
"As expected, you did all this. Whether you recognized the wrong person or took revenge on the original Princess Shi, you are extremely bold and reckless. Your status as a prince does not allow you to do whatever you want. And what is Kunning Palace..."
His tone was calm, but his eyes revealed an invisible deterrent force:
"This is the palace when Empress Hesheli was alive. You can't be so unruly here. You are so vindictive at such a young age. You are disrespectful to your deceased mother, disrespectful to your elder brother, and unkind to the two princesses of the Shi family. I am extremely disappointed in you."
The Ninth Prince was startled awake. He looked up and met the Emperor's gaze. His scalp suddenly went numb and he became extremely nervous. He wanted to explain something but could not utter a word.
Kangxi stopped looking at the Ninth Prince and called out:
"Come here, drag the Ninth Prince out, make him kneel outside the palace and reflect on his mistakes. When you realize your mistakes, you can stand up again."
After saying that, an imperial guard came in from outside and dragged the Ninth Prince away. The Ninth Prince was shocked, frightened and confused at this moment.
In the past, whenever he made a mistake, the emperor would at most scold him or make him copy a book, but he never made him kneel. Even outside the Qianqing Palace, he was dragged down before he could even have the chance to beg for mercy.
As night fell, Kangxi finally finished his busy work. He held his forehead with his hand, looking a little tired. The hall was extremely quiet.
Liang Jiugong stepped forward quietly and offered a cup of hot milk tea, and said softly:
"Your Majesty, the Ninth Prince is still kneeling outside the palace, and he has fainted."
Without the Emperor's order, no one dared to step forward even if the Ninth Prince fainted.
However, when Kangxi smelled the rich and sweet scent of milk, a pitiful pale little face suddenly appeared in his mind.
His eyes were red and swollen, his expression was panic-stricken, and he huddled behind the door weakly and helplessly, trembling from the cold, as if he was going to faint any moment.
He suddenly opened his eyes, his expression normal, but his words were startling:
"Let someone wake him up and ask him if he knows he's wrong."
How to wake up someone who has fainted?
Liang Jiugong's heart tightened, but he did not dare to hesitate, and was about to quietly retreat and pass on the message. At this time, a voice with no emotion suddenly came from behind him:
"Is there anything wrong with that person going back today?"
Liang Jiugong was confused. Who would be in trouble if he went back today? However, the next moment, a light bulb suddenly lit up in his mind, and Shi Nanxi's face appeared.
It was said that today, as usual, he did not follow the emperor into the main hall of Kunning Palace to disturb him, but waited outside the hall. Unexpectedly, not long after he stood there, he heard some noise coming from inside.
He was startled at first, thinking that something had happened inside, and raised his hand to push the door open, but his hand was on the door and no instructions from the emperor came for a long time.
After hesitating for a long time, he finally withdrew his hand, but pricked up his ears to listen carefully, ready to rush in at the first sign of anything wrong.
As a result, he accidentally overheard the conversation between the emperor and Princess Shi Er, including the vague account of Princess Shi Er giving the emperor paper stars.
At that time, people lamented that Princess Shi Er had really bad luck, but at the same time, she was very lucky to have met the emperor both times she was in danger, and unexpectedly caught the emperor's eye.
Why do you say this?
Of course it is because the emperor is the ruler of the world, rich and powerful, and has everything he wants. He would be interested in a paper star made of colored paper, but he accepted it from the other party. This does not explain the problem.
At this time, when he heard the emperor's question, he confirmed this guess again in his heart, and immediately bowed and replied:
"In reply to the emperor, Princess Shi Er sent someone to the Imperial Hospital to get medicine after returning. She must be feeling unwell."
Fortunately, he secretly planted someone there after the emperor asked Shi Ergege for the first time.
Kangxi pursed his lips when he heard this. Liang Jiugong waited for a while and saw that the emperor had no other instructions, so he quietly retreated. However, just when he reached the door and was about to turn around and walk out, he heard the emperor's voice from behind again, which could not tell whether he was happy or angry:
"Know the rules."
His heart trembled, and he immediately responded respectfully, then went out. As soon as he stepped over the threshold, he saw the Ninth Prince fainted on the ground.
Xiao Fuzi saw Liang Jiugong coming out from outside the door and hurried over, looking embarrassed and saying:
"Liang, Chief Steward, what should we do about the Ninth Prince? It's still cold in March. Just now, Concubine Yi sent someone to inquire, but I sent him away."
"You did the right thing." Liang Jiugong flicked his whisk and conveyed the emperor's intention.
After hearing this, Xiao Fuzi couldn't help rubbing his ears, with a look of disbelief:
"Liang, you heard it wrong. They didn't ask someone to send the Ninth Prince to East Fifth Hospital to call for a doctor. Instead, they asked someone to wake him up now?"
Liang Jiugong also felt that the emperor was indeed a bit harsh today, but then he thought that the emperor always hoped that the princes would be friendly and respectful to each other. As a younger brother, the Ninth Prince teased his elder brother, the Fourth Prince, which was disrespectful.
What's more important is that the Emperor had just paid tribute to Empress Hesheli when he encountered the Ninth Prince who was so bold as to disturb the Empress's peace for his own selfish reasons. It was normal for him to be strict with him.
Then he said calmly:
"I have very clear ears and eyes. Are you doubting me?"
Xiao Fuzi quickly shook his head:
"How dare I doubt Chief Steward Liang? I will go right away, right away."
At that moment, Liang Jiugong swung his whisk again, striking left and right:
"And you, all of you serve in the imperial court. You know the rules, what to say and what not to say. Keep your mouth shut."
Today's events involve the deceased Empress Hesheli, the Fourth Prince, the Ninth Prince, the future Crown Princess and her sister. If word gets out, it may cause trouble and will also push Princess Shi Er to the forefront.
Thinking of this, Liang Jiugong felt a little strange in his heart, but when he saw that the Ninth Prince had woken up, that strange feeling passed by and he could no longer remember it.
He shook his head and hurried over.
The Ninth Prince leaned on the guard's arm and was suddenly awakened by the smelling salts that irritated his nose. As soon as he woke up, he felt cold and hungry, his knees had no feeling, and his throat was very dry and hoarse.
At the same time, he recalled what happened before he fell into a coma. He was severely reprimanded by the Emperor and was forced to kneel outside the Qianqing Palace. The ministers and palace maids who came and went seemed to be looking straight at him, but in fact they were looking at him strangely out of the corner of their eyes.
He has always been very concerned about his reputation, but this time he was completely embarrassed and his face turned red.
At this time, Liang Jiugong heard the words from the Emperor's father, and he was even more shocked and frightened. However, he did not dare to resent the Emperor's father, so he turned all his anger towards the Shi Nanxi sisters.
Just wait and see. It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge, but it is important to admit your mistakes now.
Seeing the Ninth Prince admit his mistake, Liang Jiugong nodded and went in to pass on the message. The Ninth Prince was scolded again and punished to copy the "Book of Rites" and the Palace Rules thirty times each before being carried back.
When Liang Jiugong entered the hall again, he saw the emperor reading a book. The hall was silent.
He stood quietly at one side, but just as he stood firm, he saw the emperor ordering without even raising his head:
"Weishan has just sent a batch of preserved fruits as tribute, so there are just a few left. Tell the Ministry of Internal Affairs to distribute some to Chuxiu Palace tomorrow."
The little girl had been wronged today and was physically tired, and it just so happened that the candied fruits that Weishan brought into the palace were the most fragrant and sweet, which could suppress the bitterness.
The candied fruits offered as tribute from Weishan have always been the favorite of the masters of each palace. There is no reason for this. Liang Jiugong has served Kangxi for many years and is naturally a smart man. He knows that the emperor gave this fruit specially to Shi Ergege.
But in order to avoid misunderstanding, he said that he would reward everyone in Chuxiu Palace. He thought of the other party's pitiful and miserable appearance today, and she was the sister of the future Crown Princess. It was reasonable for the Emperor to compensate her.
He quickly responded and gave instructions.
So the next day, Chuxiu Palace became lively.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs brought a basket of candied fruits and distributed them to each of the ladies. Looking at the candied fruits on the plates, they had soft colors, were crystal clear, and smelled sweet and tempting. Everyone was discussing the matter with joy.
The Shi Nanxi sisters naturally got some as well, and while the others only got three each, they got one plate, and Shi Nanxi even got one extra plate.
At this moment, the young eunuch in charge of distribution in the Ministry of Internal Affairs explained with a smile on his face:
"The preserved fruits offered as tribute by Weishan are always hard to come by. This time, the tribute is a little more. When the emperor learned about the bee incident in the Imperial Garden last time, he ordered people to distribute some to Chuxiu Palace.
The two princesses were frightened several times when they first entered the palace, and my servant heard about it and ordered more food to be given to the two princesses to calm them down. Just now, I heard that the second princess was not feeling well and was taking medicine, so I privately gave her another plate, hoping that the second princess could use candied fruit to reduce the bitterness. "
So that's what's going on. Shi Rongyue was a little unhappy when she saw that Shi Nanxi had one more plate than her, but she immediately understood after hearing what he said.
Sickly seedlings will definitely require more candied fruit.
Heather Creek was flattered.
But I know it clearly in my heart.
Kangxi took the bait!
