Chapter 219 The Prince
Because Yongzheng's body was still a little weak, he immediately arranged breakfast in the Ganqing Palace. At this time, no matter whether the emperor had eaten or not, breakfast was ready. At that time, more than a dozen eunuchs and palace maids brought a food box containing dishes into the Ganqing Palace.
After hungry all night, Bai Wuqiu let go of the amount and started to eat and drink. After hearing Yongzheng's words, he said, "Your Majesty, you are so polite. Who is idle and use elixirs as food every day? Who, you bring the plate of duck stewed to me. There is also the pot of deer tail...and the shredded mutton..."
Yongzheng was a person who was very kind. When he saw Bai Wuqiu and Xiao Ren eating and drinking without anyone else, he felt a little bored. However, there was no other expression on his face. He looked at the dishes on the tables in a blink of an eye, and smiled and ordered the imperial kitchen to continue to deliver dishes.
At this time, the queen who had been serving next to her advised her a few words: "The emperor's dragon body has just recovered, so it's better to go back and rest..."
Yongzheng seemed to have not heard it, but he still smiled and said something to Gui Bugui. Bai Wuqiu said from time to time. He asked the eunuch to bring the dishes in front of him and rewarded them to Bai Wuqiu and Xiao Rensan's table. In the past, the princes and nobles who gave banquets like this would have to kneel down to thank him after being rewarded with dishes. However, these people were all monks and monsters. Being able to have a meal here would give the emperor a great face.
Seeing that Yongzheng ignored him, the queen paused for a moment, then looked up at the three princes who were still kneeling outside the palace. She continued: "Hongli and the others have been kneeling for a long time, and the ground is full of dew. Don't let me get any more disease..."
"I can't kneel to death. At their age, aren't I still kneeling outside the palace gate waiting for the teachings of the Holy Ancestor?" Originally, Yongzheng picked up a piece of venison, but now he felt lost. He put down his chopsticks and smiled at Wu Mian, Gui Bugui and the others and said, "I made the monks laugh. Although the queen is the mother of a country, she still has some protection for her calf..."
Gui Bugui smiled and glanced at the princes kneeling outside the palace gate, saying, "The Empress is right. The dew in the morning is the coldest. I also plead for the princes. Your Majesty should let the princes come in. They are all flesh and blood of the Tian family. If the prince suffers from the cold, Your Majesty will also be worried."
Yongzheng was waiting for the old guy to give him a step. After nodding with a smile, he said to the eunuch in charge next to him: "Go, let the three of them... let Hongli come in and meet several great monks, Hongshi and Hongzhou kneel down and let the imperial kitchen prepare such a table of breakfast for the two of them, so that they can get them back to the royal palace for meals."
When the emperor suddenly changed his words, although the queen was a little helpless, she could not say anything.
Gui Bugui glanced outside the palace gate and saw that after hearing that the emperor only allowed the fourth prince Hongli to meet, an older prince suddenly showed an unhappy expression. Seeing his words and gestures, he seemed to be thinking of the eunuch asking why his father only met the fourth prince Hongli but did not see him. The three of them were Yongzheng's sons, so why did they still have to distinguish between the distance and the thickness...
However, after all, this place was outside the Ganqing Palace, and the prince did not dare to make things worse. After a few words of success, he sneered, turned around and walked towards the outside of the palace. The other two princes persuaded him a few words, but did not persuade the left prince back. Finally, one of the teenage princes came to the Ganqing Palace under the guidance of the eunuch. The other youngest prince hesitated for a long time and did not dare to leave directly, and waited outside the palace gate to wait for his brother to come out.
Yongzheng had already mentioned Hongli's name last night. Now everyone in the Ganqing Palace knows that this is the one who will inherit the throne of the Qing Dynasty in the future. The eunuchs in the Ganqing Palace are now unconsciously flattering to the little prince in his teens. Someone has already saluted the fourth son first.
Seeing the eunuch guarding the door saluting him, Hongli frowned, and then stood at the palace gate motionless. Yongzheng waited for a long time but did not see Hongli come in. After turning his head and looking at it, he frowned and said, "What are you doing outside? Didn't Su Peisheng (ethnician general) let you in?"
After hearing Yongzheng's words, the teenage prince saluted outside the door and then said: "The palace servants around His Majesty bowed to his sons, and the sons were frightened and dared not be good at dealing with him..."
According to the rules of the palace, the eunuchs around the emperor do not have to salute the foreign ministers, including the prince. However, over the years, when encountering officials such as ministers such as the ministers of the regent, the palace servants around the emperor also have to salute. Especially in the later years of Emperor Kangxi, the eunuchs in the palace and the palace maids did not know what the future was, and now they began to try their best to curry favor with foreign ministers, wanting to find a backer outside the palace. In recent years, this rule has been in name only and almost no one will abide by it...
Unexpectedly, Hongli, who was only in his teenage years old, would say this at this time. After being slightly stunned, Yongzheng said to his eunuch Su Peisheng: "Have you heard what Prince Bao said? The person who just bowed to the prince at the door was 20 years old. The palace maid left the palace and sent him back to his hometown. The eunuch sent him to Yuquan Mountain to carry water. You, the eunuch, was demoted to the first place to use..."
After dealing with these eunuchs and palace maids, Yongzheng continued to say to his fourth son: "Hongli, come here, these monks are like living gods. They used magic medicine last night to cure my stubborn illness. You salute them on my behalf."
Yongzheng was poisoned by poisoning, and although Hongli had heard a few rumors before, he did not dare to think about the fact that anyone wanted to see the emperor in the Nightmare. Hearing these strange people cured his father, he knelt on the ground without saying a word and gave a big gift on behalf of the emperor.
"How dare you take this..." Gui Bugui smiled and pretended to say something after the Hongli ceremony was finished. Then the old guy continued, "Prince's salute, isn't this a way to destroy my life? Your Highness gets up quickly..."
At this moment, he saw Yunxiang, the Thirteenth Master who left the palace not long ago and went to capture the emperor lama of the Nightmare Town, and returned to the palace. He returned empty-handed in a short time. It seemed that the lama who was about to be captured had probably escaped.
Sure enough, Yunxiang saluted the emperor with some embarrassment and said, "Emperor, I am not good at doing things. The lama who collected money yesterday and wanted to be unfavorable to the emperor has escaped. I have asked the Ministry of Justice to draw pictures and investigate the whereabouts of this lama around the capital."
Hongli obviously didn't know what happened. He looked at his thirteenth uncle in surprise. He heard him continue saying, "But I still caught a few young lamas and found out from their mouths. Someone went to inform the lama last night, and the lama suddenly cast a spell to re-control the poison in His Majesty's body. Fortunately, there were several great monks here, and then he turned bad luck into good luck."
"Someone informed the lama?" Yongzheng put down the chopsticks in his hand, and then said with a calm face: "Old Thirteen, you are right, there are really people around me who are traitors! Just to prevent this person, I dare not even touch my own health and money. Have you found out who it is?"
"I have checked again. I have obtained all the list of people who went out of the palace last night. I will check them one by one later." When I said this, Yunxiang smiled at Gui Bugui's position and said, "Gui Mass Master Xi Ying really misses you. The master said that when he was not here, he would like to ask you for help when he encountered such a thing..."
"So Thirteenth Master, you are really a disciple of the Great Warlock..." Gui Bugui smiled, and his tone seemed to be surprised. However, there was no expression of surprise on his face. After looking at Yunxiang, he continued, "For the sake of the Great Warlock, I have to take care of this matter. But why can the Emperor and Thirteenth Master tell us the whole story? This matter is not as simple as it seems..."
