After Kangxi came out of Yin'er's mansion, his brows never relaxed.
Even though he had anticipated the harm of opium, after meeting the addict, Kangxi couldn't help but feel a little scared.
He could never have imagined that someone in the royal family of the previous dynasty had been contaminated with that thing. Whenever Kangxi thought of the incompetent emperors in the late period of the previous dynasty, his scalp tingled.
After returning to the palace, Kangxi issued a secret order to the head of the Thirteen Hongs, requiring him to completely ban opium from entering the country.
It was not until the secret order was sent out that Kangxi felt he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
After recovering, Kangxi couldn't help but think of the veterans in Beijing who still needed to rely on opium to relieve pain and calm their nerves.
Those bastards will give him problems!
After pinching his face and brows with a headache, Kangxi asked,
"What is the prince doing?"
Liang Jiugong's eyebrows jumped, he took a step forward and answered,
"The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess went to the Imperial Clan House together."
"Zongrenfu? What was that evil creature doing in Zongrenfu?"
Kangxi frowned deeply, and a sense of uneasiness rose in his heart.
It's impossible not to be nervous. This kid is too troublesome. Basically, if he looks at any government office for a second longer, something will happen there.
Kangxi didn't know whether to blame him for being blind and trusting people who were greedy, or to blame Yinreng for being intolerant.
If you are neither deaf nor blind, you are not qualified to be the head of the family. That evil creature is so troublesome that I am afraid that in the end, few people will be willing to support him.
“…I don’t know.”
Liang Jiugong was also speechless. Who would have thought that the Emperor would want to see the Crown Prince as soon as he returned to the palace.
"Go check!"
“Yeah.”
Kangxi was really afraid that Yinreng would find out some problems from the Ministry of Clan Affairs and continue to make trouble. So he might as well give up the throne and give it to someone from the lower five banners.
Kangxi waited anxiously for half an hour, and finally received the follow-up -
"Are they going to select servants?!"
There was a glint of disbelief in Kangxi's eyes.
Could it be that Yuqing Palace is still short of servants?
It doesn't make sense. Yinreng was such a soft-hearted person. During the two most difficult seasons, the cleaning outside was done by the young eunuchs in shifts, but he personally went to select the maids. It doesn't seem real no matter how you look at it.
"Can you please tell me why he chose the maid?"
Kangxi subconsciously ignored the Crown Princess.
He chose Guaerjia as Yinreng's wife because he wanted her to give birth to a child and win the hearts of the Han army. Now that the prince is destined to be childless, Guaerjia is like a chicken rib to him.
But although he disliked Guaerjia, he could not do anything to her. Otherwise, given Yinreng's temper, he might really go with her.
It was he who had insisted on passing this weakness to Yinreng, but he never expected that Guwalgiya would not become Yinreng's weakness, but his.
Kangxi felt uncomfortable every time he thought of this.
"It's said that they're choosing someone for the Fifth Princess. The Crown Princess specified that they want someone strong and healthy. If they have martial arts skills, that would be even better."
Kangxi: “…”
It turned out that it was picked for Jiugege.
If it weren't for this eunuch's reminder, Kangxi would have almost forgotten the wedding date of Shun Anyan and Jiu Gege.
It was also because there were too many things going on during this period. He had already used up all his energy just dealing with those troubles, and he had hardly been to the harem in the past few months.
"This evil creature has thrown the court into chaos, yet he acts like nothing happened."
While Kangxi felt relieved, he also felt a little aggrieved. Why was he so overwhelmed while the prince's life was getting easier and easier?
What an unfilial son, he doesn't even know how to share his burden.
While Kangxi was feeling angry in the Qianqing Palace, Yinreng and Guwalgiya were having an "interview" at the Zongrenfu.
Since Yinreng was planning to train a few evil women for the Ninth Princess as soon as possible, he had to check their faces first.
After all, if you want to scare people, a ferocious face is always more effective than a kind one.
The wedding date of Jiugege and Shun Anyan was set for April of the following year, when spring is in full bloom.
If he comes here to choose now, he can still train her for half a year. By then, if the Tong family dares to bully the Ninth Princess behind others' backs, these old women will be of great use.
While everyone's attention is now on the Imperial Household Department, he must settle the matter as soon as possible and then send it out through Yinzhen.
After learning that Kangxi had arranged a marriage between Shun Anyan and the Ninth Princess, Yinreng approached her several times, intentionally or unintentionally.
The Ninth Princess was brought up...how should I put it? To put it nicely, she was brought up to be polite, but to put it bluntly, she was brought up to be cowardly, just like the wooden-headed guy in "A Dream of Red Mansions".
Rather than seeking justice after the person dies, it is better to make plans now so that Shun Anyan will be cautious and dare not bully Jiu Gege openly.
Speaking of which, the Manchurian rules are quite ridiculous.
They said that they valued Manchu noble ladies, but in reality, Manchu women were trapped in the harem all their lives and could not have their own names. Even for such powerful figures as Empress Xiaozhuang and Empress Dowager Cixi, only their surnames and posthumous titles were recorded in history books.
Not even worthy of a name.
In the dynasties when the Han people were in power, great figures such as Lü Zhi, Wu Zetian, Zhangsun Wugou, and Li Qingzhao were all preserved with their names.
The Qing Dynasty is so weird!
