MTL - Female Official In the East Palace-Chapter 187
On March 23, Kangxi decided to temporarily separate from the empress dowager, and patrolled Gaojiayan and Guiren embankment in the south of the Yellow River in a low-key manner.
Before he left, he didn't make a big splash, he just communicated with the entourage, and taught Rong Xin to take good care of the empress dowager and a few grids.
"Mother Rong, do you think I embroider this pattern, will Huangma Fa like it?"
Rong Xin inserted the needle into the embroidery stretcher, glanced casually, looked up at Baoxian who was full of anxiety, "The emperor's preference, if you ask me, I can't answer you. "
Bao Xian blinked, not believing beyond words.
"Preferences will change." Rong Xin smiled softly, "But there is one truth that will not change, the pure and sincere heart can be felt by the emperor."
Bao Xian raised the half-finished clothes in her hand, showed a small smile, and nodded heavily, "Well, I see, thank you mama."
"Don't thank me, you are being too careful."
But this is all personal choice, Baoxian wants such a life, Rong Xin has no right to force her to change, the real variable is another kind of person.
Rong Xin's eyes swept across the quiet Dongzhu and asked the maid standing behind Baoxian: "Are Jiyage and Wanqi still on the deck?"
The palace maid replied respectfully: "Yes, Er Gege is asking the guards for martial arts."
Rong Xin curled the corners of her mouth, put down the embroidery stretcher, walked to Dongzhu's side, and said, "Gege, stop painting, let's go out for a walk."
Dongzhu stood up obediently, one hand naturally stretched into Rong Xin's hand, and the other was still holding the book, reading intently.
Rong Xin reluctantly pulled out the book in her hand, pointed her finger outward, and said, "Now unlock the release time, and the book is blocked."
Dongzhu pursed her lips slightly, pulled her hand to stop, took out the handgun from the cloth bag on her body, held it in her hand, and followed her out with peace of mind.
Rong Xin chuckled lightly, and led Dongzhu down to the second floor. In the middle of the deck, Ji Ya was holding a waist knife in her right hand and swung it hard towards the guard.
"Second sister! Left! Second sister!!" Wan Qi shouted nervously.
Rong Xin and Dong Zhu stopped beside Wan Qi, patted the little **** the shoulder, and after she turned around, she reminded: "You gave Jiyagege the wrong signal."
Jiya is a little girl, even if she swings the knife very hard, the guard is still very skillful.
Just now, the guards faltered to the left and then dodged to the right, but Ji Ya was inexperienced in fighting and was disturbed by Wan Qi, so she failed to move according to her consciousness during the war.
"Actually..." Rong Xin smiled, "Tiger father has no dog daughter, Jiyagege is very talented, let's just look at it."
And Jiya was not the guard's opponent after all, after a few moves, she began to pant, and then the two waist knives collided, with a sound of "clang", the guard jumped back and stopped at the right time.
Jiya flipped her wrist, the sword was down, and she clenched her fists at the guard, "Concession."
The guard immediately put away the knife, clenched his fists at her, and said politely, "Gege agree."
"Sassy and heroic!" Wan Qi jumped around Ji Ya and said excitedly, "Sister is amazing!"
Jiya was accustomed to her sister's support, she casually bypassed her sister and talked to Rong Xin, but she just called "Mommy" and suddenly stopped.
"Sister, what's the matter..." Wan Qi followed her closely, and when she saw the scene in front of her, her eyes widened, "Dongzhu! Why are you pointing at my second sister? !"
Dongzhu's hand was raised again, facing Ji Ya's heart.
Wan Qi suddenly stood in front of her sister, raised her chin, and said with a puffed face: "How can you scare the second sister?"
Rong Xin immediately took Dongzhu's handgun, pressed it down gently, and explained, "Dongzhugege means that firearms are more powerful and more useful than pure martial arts."
Jiya frowned, clenched the waist knife in her hand, and retorted: "Dongzhu, talent is the foundation, and you shouldn't be controlled by external things."
Dongzhu still stubbornly raised her handgun, the meaning is self-evident.
"Dongzhu..." Ji Ya said, and Wan Qi immediately stood beside her sister to support her.
Rong Xinjiya really had the stance of arguing with Dongzhu clearly, and quickly said: "Firearms are like waist swords, if you want to exert the due power, you must be physically strong and complement each other, not one or the other. ."
"We can experiment slowly, and we will find out later."
She said, holding Dongzhu in one hand, and the other little girl Ji Ya and Wan Qi in the other, and returned to the cabin.
On March 28, the Empress Dowager's ship arrived at Qingkou and joined Kangxi and others.
Kangxi greeted the empress dowager, and the elder brother also cared about Rong Xin and his three daughters a few words before leaving with the empress.
After the eldest grandson asked Huang Mafa for instructions, he temporarily stayed on the empress dowager's boat, and vividly described to the sisters the scene of them patrolling the embankment alone.
Rong Xin looked over with a smile, and said to the little palace maid on the side: "Give the eldest grandson and the others a pot of tea, lest they get thirsty."
The little palace maid smiled and exited.
The eldest grandson of the emperor turned to Rong Xin and said excitedly: "Aunt, do you know? The emperor ordered the bottom of the river to be dredged so that the Yellow River would not be inverted into Hongze Lake and flooded; Also, open another river to the east of the river, and if there is another flood, another river will flow into the sea!"
Rong Xin raised the corners of his lips, echoing his praise for Kangxi's wise strategy.
Kangxi is indeed the sage monarch of the Qing Dynasty, and he is highly respected by his children and grandchildren. Except for Dongzhu, several grids listened to him attentively, with light in their eyes.
"There is one more thing, I forgot to mention." The eldest grandson sat up slightly and said seriously, "The birthday of the emperor Marfa will be spent on the southern tour, and the river officials have discussed and decided to open the river. For this matter, hold a river opening ceremony to celebrate the birthday of the Emperor Marfa."
"River opening ceremony?" Rong Xin stopped the needle and asked curiously, "What river opening ceremony?"
"The river officials have made a huge sand table and drawings. They will use explosives to create a river mouth in the place where the river will be opened first. Please Huang Mafa to come and watch."
Rong Xin frowned slightly, "Is it safe? The amount of explosives that can blow up the river is definitely not a simple amount..."
"Huangmafa did not watch the ceremony nearby, but local officials and river officials set up a viewing platform on the east side of the hill..."
Rong Xin asked: "So the emperor has agreed?"
The eldest grandson of the emperor nodded, "The officials of the river have repeatedly ensured that the safety is safe. The emperor has ordered people to investigate carefully and has agreed to carry out this ceremony."
Kangxi's sacred words have been opened, and naturally it is impossible to take them back. Rong Xin can only think of the positive meaning brought by this form.
Kangxi's southern tour was to control the river. Even though he repeatedly told local officials not to disturb the people this time, the people still paid close attention to the words and deeds of the imperial car and Kangxi.
The River Opening Ceremony...It can teach the people to see Kangxi's determination to manage the river, and...
"Would you like to see that sand table?"
Rong Xin's thoughts were interrupted by the voice of the eldest grandson. When he looked up, he saw Ji Ya and Wan Qi questioning him with interest, and even Dongzhu looked up at the eldest grandson.
The eldest grandson of the emperor stood up and greeted: "Come on, let's go to the cabin of Huangmafa together."
Bao Xian asked anxiously: "Isn't it right? We appear at Huang Mafa so rashly, if we encounter Huang Mafa and ministers discussing matters, wouldn't it be a mistake?"
"No." The eldest grandson took Dongzhu's hand, seeing that Baoxian was still apprehensive, he had to say, "Send someone to inform Huangmafa first, and Huangmafa agrees. , let's go over there."
Bao Xian nodded after hearing this.
Rong Xin took advantage of this time to pick up the clothes she had sewed for a long time and unfolded it to the eldest grandson, "Just right, try this dress to see if it fits, if it doesn't fit, I'll tell you later. Change it."
