MTL - Female Official In the East Palace-Chapter 243
Prince Concubine Yufu is indeed right, a few words of praise taught the prince to almost forget the spirit of study he has always insisted on, and even prepared to write another masterpiece.
Rong Xin thought about saying something to dispel his thoughts, but every time she saw the princess leaning on the prince, holding the book of words and laughing horribly, the prince looked pampered and did nothing Unable to speak.
In the future, there are people who regard this book as the only flaw in the prince's body, and he is willing to do so, and it has nothing to do with others.
Besides, who will confirm that this book is related to the prince? she? Prince couple? Or the eldest grandson? None of them will admit it.
Rong Xin smiled.
The prince messed up the world outside the Yuqing Palace, and the Crown Princess Bo was happy to stay leisurely in the palace.
But there are always people who can't see the prince like this.
Since ancient times, the common truth that has been passed down by word of mouth among the people is that one year of flood and drought for one year, after a major flood, there may be a major drought. Before they grow up, they die of drought, and the fields they depend on for survival have no crops. Surviving has become the most difficult thing.
After two years of catastrophic disasters, the first year of relief in the DPRK was exempted from taxes and barely maintained. This year, the court still did not collect taxes, but the intensity of relief has dropped a lot.
The treasury is really difficult. Money is used everywhere, and everywhere is tight, so it is impossible to move out the disaster relief money.
The imperial court has been trying to find a way, but it is still unable to solve the livelihood problems of the victims immediately. almost sick.
Some ministers in the DPRK suggested that the government temporarily turn a blind eye. After the harvest in various places this year, the disaster is over, and the people's situation is stable, and then arrest and deal with those who lead the trouble.
Kangxi did not express his position immediately when he heard this, but instead taught people to speak out, saying that since the imperial court was temporarily powerless, he would agree to it and let the people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang rush for food to survive.
Prince... Naturally, he couldn't sit still. He couldn't watch ordinary people become sinners forced by the world, so he walked out of Yuqing Palace again.
The moment Kangxi found out, the corners of his mouth rose and he was very proud.
Afterwards, the prince and Kangxi jointly issued a "letter to the people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang", which recorded how Chen Kangxi was worried about the people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and how he worked hard; Gong, just to come up with a way as soon as possible to make a living for the people all over Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
To a certain extent, the reality is that in the hearts of Jiangnan people, the prince's prestige is higher than that of Kangxi. Once this book was issued, it did make a lot of people calm down.
At this time, the more important thing is to alleviate the harm of the disaster to the people. Kangxi and the prince, and the prince's ministers discussed it all night, and finally decided to use the method of the prince's relief to the people in Shanxi. In the name of the imperial court, all emergency items such as money, food, medicinal materials, etc. were borrowed from noble families and wealthy businessmen in the undisturbed land.
This is a very shameful thing for Kangxi, but after the prince proposed, he finally did not object, but made this difficult decision with the people and the prince first.
There was a mistake in it, Kangxi accepted the prince's suggestion and ordered the fourth elder brother Yinzhen and the eighth elder brother Yinzhen to accept the matter with full authority.
After another half a month, the disaster relief goods borrowed from various places arrived in Jiangsu and Zhejiang one after another. When the prince was in great peace, he "falled ill" again, and in front of many courtiers, in front of all eyes , No matter how any Kangxi explained to the prince, he couldn't stop Yoyo's mouth.
Kangxi was very angry, but he couldn't bluntly say that the prince had never been ill, and he became more and more gloomy and moody.
The courtiers all thought that he was worried about the prince's health. Some people were full of hope that the prince would recover soon, and some people hoped that the prince would be happy.
The majority of people hope that the prince will recover as soon as possible. After all, the existence of the prince has indeed made it unnecessary for many courtiers to keep the pain of winning the heir, and his excellence has indeed overwhelmed almost all princes. mind.
In late June, the case of the assassination of the prince was closed. The case involved many, involving the remnants of the previous dynasty, the chaos of the party, and a group of people who pretended to be the third prince Zhu.
The Qing Dynasty had a rare opportunity to attack the chaos of the party. Kangxi decided to announce to the world.
After the prince was recuperating for two months again, he decided to attend the morning court.
Rong Xin deliberately got up early, appeared in the prince's bedroom, took over the prince's court clothes, and changed the prince's clothes together with the prince's concubine.
The prince stretched out his hands and let the two put on the prince's royal clothes for him one by one. When they were ready, they smiled and asked the two of them: "Aunt, Song Yi, have I ever Shame on this court dress?"
"Never humiliated." The princess nodded affirmatively, "The proudest thing in Song Yi's life is to have a husband like His Royal Highness."
Rong Xin's eyes were sore, and she almost burst into tears.
She watched the prince grow up, she really saw the prince's efforts to become a qualified prince of the Qing Dynasty, so at this moment, she felt more distressed than anyone else.
However, she is also very proud that the prince is a man of the highest order.
"Auntie..."
The prince took a step forward, with a big arm, hugging Rong Xin with one hand and the princess with the other, and said softly: "You are the two most important women in Yinren's life, I have today, The complete trust and support of any of you are indispensable, thank you."
At this age, Rong Xin is prone to being sentimental, but the princess also has red eyes. In this situation, there is no need to bear it anymore, so she wants to vent together.
However, as soon as Rong Xin's first tear fell down her cheeks, she felt that someone was hugging her waist, turning her head to one side, facing Shang Dongzhu's expressionless face.
The next moment, Orb's cheerful voice sounded: "I want to hug too!"
Then Rong Xin and the Crown Princess were embraced by the Crown Prince and the two children. They could only look at each other and smiled helplessly, and could no longer produce any sentimental emotions.
After a while, the eldest grandson of the emperor also appeared in the prince's bedroom with blank eyes, followed by the prince and the prince's youngest son who had just turned nine months.
Rong Xin looked at Lushen and Xueqing who were standing on one side with a smile, and while everyone was not paying attention, she quietly tapped Dongzhu's nose, "You are the most clever, did you do it?"
The crown prince hid the eldest grandson and several other children, but not Dongzhu, so she knew everything, just didn't speak, many times people would subconsciously ignore her.
Therefore, when Rong Xin saw such an early hour, but all the family appeared neatly, he naturally thought of Dongzhu.
Dongzhu avoided her gaze without wavering and did not reply.
Rong Xin chuckled lightly, reached out and hugged her, the foreheads of the two touched each other, extremely intimate.
…
The Hall of Supreme Harmony—
The courtiers reported today's affairs to Kangxi, and Kangxi ordered Liang Jiugong to carefully read out the results of the case and his disposition. Liang Jiugong faced the courtiers and shouted: "Follow Your Majesty's order, there is something to play, Retreat without incident!"
The courtiers all bowed and said: "I'll be fine."
Kangxi looked down at the prince's demeanor, and had a bad premonition in his heart. He even said to stop: "The prince's body has not yet recovered, so don't worry too much about the affairs of the court, just step back."
"Emperor Ama..." The prince stopped Huang Ama, who stood up, raised his court clothes, knelt with his back straight in the center of the hall, and said word by word, "The matter of my son's invitation, It is both a state affair and a family affair, please ask Huang Ama to certify it."
Kangxi was full of resistance, and in front of the civil and military court, he took two more hurried steps, and had to stop when the prince called "Huang Ama" again.
The princes and courtiers looked at the appearance of the emperor and the prince very strangely.
Kangxi's eyes were full of sadness and rejection, and the prince even thought that maybe there was anger, thinking that he was angry, that he was deliberately wrong...
Not so.
"My son has been the Crown Prince of the Qing Dynasty for thirty-three years, and since I can remember, I have been taking the Qing Dynasty as my responsibility every day. , the Quartet has nothing to do..."
"Ran..." The prince had to pause for a moment because of his emotions, after easing his emotions, he continued, "However, due to the accident, the son's body can no longer bear the responsibility of the prince, and the prince is weak, and The stability of the country's society and crops is useless..."
"Don't say any more." Kangxi held the dragon chair to stabilize his body, "Shut up."
The prince fell on the ground and kowtowed: "My son has been entrusted by Emperor Amma and cannot inherit the aspirations of Emperor Amma, please forgive me."
The eldest brother didn't have so many scruples, grabbed the prince's arm with a cold face, and tried hard, "Prince, what are you talking about?"
The prince's voice trembled slightly, but he bowed his head firmly: "My son has met the expectations of the people and is unable to benefit the people of the world again. Please forgive the emperor and the people of the world."
Kangxi's knees were weak, and he relied on the hand holding the dragon chair and Liang Jiugong for support, and he almost begged: "Prince, take it back, I think nothing happened..."
The prince leaned down for the third time, choked and said: "My son has a negative responsibility to the Qing Dynasty, today... I ask Huang Ama and the world to resign from the position of the prince, and I hope Huang Ama and your permission."
Kangxi fell on the dragon chair, and all the officials knelt down and begged: "Please, His Royal Highness, take your life back!"
Kangxi looked at the prince sadly, his heart ached, his eyelids rolled, and he fainted.
"Ama!"
"Your Majesty!"
Kangxi was quickly carried back to the Qianqing Palace, the imperial doctor arrived, gave first aid, and only woke up after half an hour. During this period, the prince and other princes and courtiers all stood outside the Qianqing Palace, anxiously Waiting for the news that he is safe and sound.
The prince imagined that he would anger Huang Ama, but he did not expect it to be so serious, and he felt very guilty, so he did not resist.
The third prince, the fourth prince and other princes immediately stepped forward, pulled away the eldest brother and the prince, and persuaded them.
At this moment, Liang Jiugong stepped out of Kangxi's bedroom, walked to the prince, and said, "His Royal Highness, the emperor invites you in."
"How is Huang Ama's body?"
Liang Jiugong looked up at everyone, and said respectfully again: "Go back to your highnesses, the emperor is fine for now."
The prince's clenched heart loosened a little, and followed Liang Jiugong into the sleeping hall, while the rest of the people were stopped outside the door again, eager to see through.
In the bedroom, Kangxi closed his eyes and lay weakly on the bed. He didn't open his eyes when he heard the prince coming in, just lay silently.
"Yinren, are you so angry with Huang Ama?"
The prince immediately explained: "My son has never been angry with Emperor Ama."
"Then why, why do you have to be like this?" A tear fell from the corner of Kangxi's eyes, he raised his hand laboriously, and quickly held it when the prince reached out, "If you are really angry, I, I am Ama to apologize to you..."
"Huang Ama!" The prince knelt down to the bed, sobbing, "Huang Ama, don't do this..."
"Then can you..." Kangxi's voice was full of expectations.
The prince clenched Huang Ama's hand tightly, rested his head on it, and let the tears flow down, after a long time, he raised his head, "Emperor Ama, my son will never be angry with you. You, Erchen, just want to be a pure father and son with you, a father and son who will not be disturbed by all external things."
"I'm just your son, okay?"
…
In the evening, the prince returned to Yuqing Palace, Rong Xin, the crown prince and others came out together, and after seeing him, they all said, "His Royal Highness is back."
The folds between the prince's eyebrows stretched out, and he said to them: "Auntie, Song Yi, you say, where should we choose to open the mansion?"
