Li Dequan and Du Lan also knelt on the ground with smiles on their faces.

"Everyone, get up. Today I am in a good mood and everyone will be rewarded."

Even though they tried to keep their voices down, it was already late at night and everything was quiet, so the voices of congratulations still reached the palace not far from Qingxi Palace.

For example, Yikun Palace.

The light in Concubine Yi's eyes has completely disappeared.

Her son is not close to her, the emperor does not favor her, and her family no longer cares about her.

Guo Luoluo, who was once looked down upon the most, has now become a concubine with a title, and it won't be long before she will be on equal footing with her.

In fact, Guo Luoluo's status might be higher than that of Concubine Yi, because she raised the Sixth Prince, but her Fifth Prince was pushed away by her.

Thinking of Concubine Hui who stopped herself in time, Concubine Yi's eyes flashed with brilliance.

If her relationship with Xiaowu is repaired, will Queen Huang stop making things difficult for her?

At that time, the emperor will give less punishment for the sake of the queen?

However, this idea was soon completely shattered because she still had more than half a year before she could go out.

Although Yinqi went back to see him, there was already a rift between the two of them because of what happened last time. As long as the Queen was mentioned, Yinqi would find an excuse to slip away.

Once is an accident, twice is a coincidence, but if she can't tell the difference after three or four times, then she is a fool.

Every time Yinqi came out of Yikun Palace, he would say, "Fortunately, the Royal Madam taught him how to avoid danger, otherwise I don't know what to do."

Every time he came to Yikun Palace, he would tell the Queen Mother his whereabouts, and then the Queen Mother would repeatedly warn him not to talk about the Empress Dowager in private.

The Queen Mother spoke simply and directly, without any bias.

She said: Concubine Yi was confined to her house because she made your Royal Father angry, not your Royal Mother.

Your royal mother has a good personality and even the servants are reluctant to scold her, let alone your mother.

Therefore, you should carefully consider everything your mother says and does, and then make a decision based on your own feelings towards your mother.

The Imperial Madam does not ask you to be partial to your Imperial Mother, but she asks you to absolutely not believe Concubine Yi's one-sided words.

Your royal father is busy with all kinds of affairs. If your mother hadn't done something wrong, he would have no time to take care of her.

There are so many women in the harem, why are others fine, but only a few concubines are scolded or even confined by your royal father?

Yinqi, you are still young and it is okay for you not to understand, but you cannot blindly trust anyone.

Anyone mentioned by the Royal Mama includes the Royal Mama.

If one day you feel that the Royal Madam is not doing a good job, or that something makes you feel uncomfortable, you can raise it.

But people, if you have questions or doubts, you can't keep them to yourself. You should ask them in time and sort out the doubts in your mind.

It must never be allowed to accumulate or go unsaid.

As for your mother, the Empress Dowager can only say that she did something wrong. As for where she did it wrong, you will understand when you grow up.

Yinqi looked at the empress dowager in confusion, not quite understanding, but seeming to understand.

The Queen Mother looked at him, sighed, thought for a moment, and said only one sentence: You cannot discuss anything about your Royal Mother with your Mother, including your younger brothers and sisters.

Once you reveal any information about the Empress Dowager and your younger siblings, you will never be able to play with your elder brother and younger siblings again, and you can't even go to Qingxi Palace anymore.

Yinqi nodded repeatedly, covering his mouth and not saying anything.

He likes his younger brothers and sisters, and also likes the Empress Dowager.

Therefore, every time he came to see Concubine Yi, he would stand at the door for a long time and make sure he was mentally prepared before going in.

Because the Queen Mother said that Concubine Yi was his biological mother, and no matter what wrong he did, as a son he could not forget his mother.

Look, he would come to see Concubine Yi every three days, but he didn't stay for long.

Not too close, but not too unfamiliar either.

"Let's go, let's go see my sister."

After coming out of Yiku Palace, Yinqi hurried towards Qingxi Palace. He hadn't seen Beibei for two days and missed her very much.

The servants around him were all carefully selected by the Empress Dowager. Seeing the Fifth Prince patting his chest, they all lowered their heads and smiled secretly.

Kangxi sent troops to attack Taiwan.

On the day of the expedition, he still took Harigana to the city gate. This time, he was not as excited as last time. He was a little worried as he watched the army marching away.

"Xuanye, it will succeed, don't worry."

I don’t know how they discussed it, but since they sent troops, it proves that they have weighed the pros and cons and will not harm innocent civilians.

But if the war really breaks out, how could there be no harm?

"Yes! If Jiaojiao says she will, she will."

Kangxi hugged Harigana and leaned on her: "Jiaojiao, I'm so tired."

This was the first time she heard Kangxi say the word "tired".

Patting him lightly on the back, he said, "Xuanye, you have done very well.

When you are tired, you should learn to rest and let your subordinates do the work.

Although I don't understand court politics, the affairs of the harem should be a microcosm of the previous dynasty.

I don’t know how, but my mother is here.

Also with you are Prince Yu, Prince Kang, Lord Mingzhu, Lord Li, and Lord Zhang.

You can try to let them do it themselves and report back to you in the end.

Because you trusted Prince Kang before, you now have the powerful general Dai Zi, right? "

Harigana said it simply and didn’t dare to go into details.

She believed that Kangxi could understand.

The only difference between ancient people and modern people is that they dare not give up power for fear that they will not get it back.

But sometimes it’s mutual.

If you want power, you cannot be afraid of hard work, but you may be blinded by one thing and become autocratic.

However, we cannot delegate power excessively. The inability to take it back is another matter, which may lead to the abuse of power.

Therefore, there needs to be a connection here, and how to do it depends on Kangxi himself.

Many things have two sides, and learning to balance is the most important thing.

It’s just like some people are suitable for a career in politics, while some people are only suitable for sitting in an office and helping others.

"Jiaojiao, thank you."

Kangxi felt that Jiaojiao was right and he was being too stubborn.

Perhaps he was influenced by Oboi and others, so he is afraid to give up power now.

At this moment, the pressure on him suddenly eased a lot.

In the past, he had so many memorials to review that he couldn’t finish them all and had to stay up late to review them.

But since those useless memorials were stopped, not only has the national treasury's expenditure been reduced a lot, but he also has a lot more free time.

At first I was nervous and worried that something might go wrong, but it has been almost two years now and nothing has happened.

So, he can delegate power, but he needs something to check and balance those in power.

As long as checks and balances are in place, there will be no chaos.

“I just shared some of my thoughts, I don’t know if they are applicable.

Moreover, trust the people you employ, and don't employ people you don't trust.

Just like I will believe in my mother because I believe she will not harm me.

You're just pushing yourself too hard."
