The splendor of the red mansion

Chapter 383: Farewell Like the Sea (2)
Yinzhen nodded, glanced at Hong Yao who was excitedly waiting to see the two emperor uncles bickering, and said, "Accompany grandpa to the study to do some work, and check your homework by the way." Hong Yao immediately lowered his head in frustration.

As soon as Lin Ruhai and Hong Yao went out, they saw Yinreng's eyebrows twitch, and he said in an indifferent way: "Master Lin naturally behaves with restraint, and the most important thing is that he is consistent in appearance and appearance. Eighth brother, don't you think so?"

Yinxiang stroked his forehead helplessly, coughed lightly and interrupted the two of them: "Second brother, mynah, we have business to ask to see the emperor." So can you keep these bickering and provocative things in private? ?This will make the courtiers doubt the age and intelligence of the current prince.

Obviously, Yinfeng still gave Yinxiang a lot of face, he hummed softly at Yinhu, turned around and sat down in the chair beside him.Daiyu smiled and looked at the three people with different expressions, stood up and said with a smile: "Since the lords have business with the fourth brother, I will excuse you first. The fourth brother just gave orders, and the second brother, the eighth brother and the thirteenth brother will stay at noon Let's eat." Yinxiang nodded and said: "Thank you, sister-in-law." Yinhu's smile did not diminish, and he said with a light smile: "Actually, I should talk to the queen's sister-in-law about this matter. The queen's sister-in-law doesn't have to avoid it either."

Yinzhen stretched out his hand and took Daiyu to sit down, and said, "What is so important that the three of you need to talk about it together?"

Yinxiang rubbed his nose and looked at Yinhu, who smiled warmly like a spring breeze and looked at Yinrong.Yinfeng waved the folding fan in his hand angrily, and said: "What's the big deal, the Ministry of Rites and the Clan's House of Internal Affairs have handed over the folded papers, and it's time for the emperor to draft."

"Draft?" Yinzhen raised his eyebrows, what kind of show is going to be picked soon?

Yinfeng said: "This year was supposed to be the year of the general election. Didn't I postpone the day of the draft because I was busy preparing for the enthronement ceremony? Now that everything is over, those eight banners dignitaries shouldn't be thinking about the emperor's harem." One must know that the new emperor's harem may look a bit shabby to ordinary people. There are only five people in total, including a queen, a concubine, and three concubines.But in the eyes of the Eight Banners dignitaries, this is a great thing. Now that the emperor has been appointed, there are still so many vacant seats in the harem, so what are you waiting for if you don't send the girl to the palace quickly?Since the enthronement ceremony was over, there has been a steady stream of audition papers being sent up.The reasons range from the heirs of the royal family to the country and country, from etiquette and palace regulations to the system of the Eight Banners.Everyone in Yinfeng knows Yinzhen's temper. If these papers are suppressed, those people will probably say it in the court. If they offend the new emperor, everyone's face will be ugly, so let's talk about it in advance. One sound is better.

As expected, Yinzhen frowned in displeasure, and said, "I have been busy drafting the talent show less than half a month after I took the throne? Are the people in the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs too busy? If so, they all go to Shengjing to farm."

Yinxiang got up and said: "The emperor calm down, this year is the year of the general election. Besides, the rules of the Eight Banners are set there, and the girls of the Eight Banners are not allowed to marry without going through the draft. Naturally, the girls who have reached their age can't wait for another three years. What's more, there are many royal family members. The children have also reached the age of marriage..."

Yinzhen waved his hand and said, "Thirteenth Brother, you don't have to speak well for those people, how can I not know what they think?" He lowered his eyebrows and thought for a while, then Yinzhen nodded and said: "It's not a big deal anyway. Yu'er, it's hard work You. Take Hongyan to take care of this matter, that girl is not too young. If there is anything you don’t understand, please ask the Pope’s noble concubine.” Daiyu smiled slightly, nodded and said: “I see, Don't worry, fourth brother." On the one hand, Yinfeng raised his eyebrows in surprise, although he couldn't leave Xian'an Palace all these years, he had heard how Yinzhen doted on Fujin alone.Now that she has just ascended to the throne and is about to draft her in a big way, she doesn't feel unhappy or anxious at all. Is this because she has confidence in herself or is she thinking deeply?
Yinhu's eyes dimmed slightly, and a hint of disappointment flashed away from his eyes. He lowered his eyes and smiled lightly: "The emperor's wife has always been virtuous, and even Huang Ama praised her well. Naturally, small things like drafting will be handled properly. .”

Daiyu raised her eyes and said softly: "Eighth brother is too well-known. But eighth brother is not young now, and there is no heir in the house. This time, fourth sister-in-law will definitely leave some good ones for you."

After the morning court the next day, when the emperor issued the draft's decree on the spot, many people secretly breathed a sigh of relief.Many people even saw Lin Ruhai in a different way.The current empress and emperor have been in love for more than ten years. Who in the capital knows who doesn't know?Now that the new emperor has just ascended the throne, these Eight Banners dignitaries have submitted a letter to the draft, which is naturally a little tentative. If the emperor really does not want other women for the empress, they should make plans early.At the same time as the will of the draft, there is another will.Beginning this year, women who enter the palace in a coat whose title is above the nobility's family members and their three clans are not allowed to serve in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.As soon as this decree came out, the excitement of the Bao Yi family, which had just survived the catastrophe, was poured from head to toe like a basin of ice water.Since the Great Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains, the House of Internal Affairs has been controlled by the Baoyi family. Although the palace regulations of the Kangxi and Shunzhi dynasties were very strict, the Baoyi women were not favored in the harem, and only one Wuya family was born in two generations, but these The power of man cannot be underestimated.Now this imperial decree basically cut off the possibility of the Baoyi family reaching out to the harem.May I ask, if a woman from Baoyi does not have the support of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Baoyi family, how can she fight against those noble girls of the Eight Banners?
Lin Ruhai seemed unaware of the attitudes of his colleagues, and he still went up and down calmly and calmly every day. After receiving the imperial decree to be the governor of the four provinces of Jiangsu, Fujian, and Zhejiang, he was even more calm and waving in the eyes of countless envy and hatred. Farewell to my daughter, grandson and granddaughter who left Beijing to take up their posts.Although Lin Ruhai's departure from the capital made countless people jealous that his position and authority had already won the emperor's trust, more people were secretly glad that Lin Ruhai was the only father in the queen's natal family, and Lin Ruhai was secretly known as an old fox. Now that they are far away from the Tiangao Road in the capital, they can make good plans for their girls.

Although it is said that the queen is in charge of the draft, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Etiquette will be busy with the preliminary work, so there is no need to work for Daiyu.So after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Daiyu took Hongyan and Hongchen Hongyan to the Old Summer Palace.Now that Kangxi has retired, he is light-hearted, and when he has nothing to do, he will often bring a few children with him to relieve boredom.Even the upper study room was moved to the Changchun Garden, and the younger brothers and sisters from each family would come to Kangxi's knees to have fun from time to time.
