Chapter 115 4 Master's Backyard is involved in the daily life 40
Yongshou Palace, the renovated palace was particularly in line with her aesthetic taste. The furnishings inside were all personally inquired about, arranged, and even designed by Yinzhen.
As soon as Yinzhen stepped in, he heard the laughter of children coming from inside.
Hongxu can already speak some simple words. He is well-behaved and rarely cries. Le Shu likes to tease him very much.
Listening to the children's laughter, Yinzhen smiled unconsciously and walked in quickly.
When Le Shu saw him, he was wearing casual clothes, which were not much different from before. In front of everyone, she stood up to salute, but was stopped by Yinzhen.
"Between you and me, everything is still the same as before."
Le Shu smiled and didn't insist on these rules.
Yinzhen waved his hand: "All of you go out, I have something to say to the imperial concubine."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
All the palace maids had gone out, leaving only the two of them in the room. Yinzhen held her in his arms and sat on the couch.
"Anzhi, the emperor's health is getting worse."
This was all caused by him. He did not regret it, but when he saw Kangxi's old and sickly face, he still felt guilty.
Le Shu suddenly stood up, and under Yinzhen's puzzled gaze, she took out a box.
"what is this?"
"The things I signed in this morning can't cure diseases, but they can save lives. The emperor's condition cannot be cured. Changchun Garden is a good place to recuperate. Let the emperor see that the Qing Dynasty is peaceful and prosperous under your rule."
Le Shu knew that deep down in his heart Yinzhen still wanted to prove himself to Kangxi.
Yinzhen took the box and hugged him: "Le Shu, thank you. If it weren't for you, I would still be alone even if I started over again ten thousand times."
Le Shu hugged him back and leaned into his arms.
Yinzhen gave the stuff to Kangxi. Kangxi's symptoms did not get better, but they did not get worse either. The imperial physician said that his condition had stabilized, and if nothing unexpected happened, he just needed to take good care of himself and not overwork, and he would have some years to live.
In the Yangxin Palace, Yinzhen was extremely busy. He planned to reorganize the Eight Banners. Now all the Eight Banners' young men were playboys and did not engage in production, which was a big problem.
Su Peisheng: "Your Majesty, the Queen requests an audience."
Yinzhen frowned, then put down his red brush and said, "Please come in, Queen."
"Whoo."
The queen came in, bowed and greeted, and Yinzhen asked: "Queen, come here, what happened in the harem?"
"Your Majesty, everything is fine in the harem. I came here to ask Your Majesty to order a selection of concubines."
Yinzhen frowned.
"We just had the election last year, let's forget about it this year!"
The Queen smiled and advised: "The Emperor has just ascended the throne, and now the harem is empty and there are not many offspring. This is also my fault. I am thinking of selecting concubines to fill the harem, which can also put the former dynasty at ease."
Yinzhen waved his hand and said, "The treasury is empty, and frequent selections are too extravagant and wasteful. There is no need to talk about this matter."
The Queen continued, "If Your Majesty thinks the election is a waste, why don't I privately select a few princesses of the right age from the Manchu clan to enter the palace."
Yinzhen looked at her with a cold gaze: "Queen, I have no interest in the harem, and I don't need anyone else in the harem. The government affairs of the former dynasty are busy, so please go back, Queen!"
The queen left as usual, but her steps were a little unsteady.
After she left, Yinzhen just felt bored. The queen was just like in her previous life, always urging him to go to the harem to have children, but he had a lot of government affairs to deal with.
The two have no common language.
Yinzhen called Su Peisheng and said, "Go check if the queen's family has said anything to the queen."
"Whoo."
There are not many people available in the queen's family. Fei Yanggu passed away too early, and there were problems with his son's upbringing. Now that there is a queen in the family, I'm afraid they can't sit still.
When Ulanara was not yet the queen, she could still remain calm, but after she became the queen and saw the visibly special nature of Le Shu, she could no longer remain calm. And Ulanara, who was behind her, was even more unstable than her.
In Jingren Palace, after the queen came back, she calmed down and murmured: "I was anxious!"
Camellia: "What did the queen just say?"
The Queen shook her head: "Nothing, Chamei, select some ambitious young palace maids in private and train them first."
As a prince's wife who could not give birth, she could tolerate a concubine of humble family background being favored alone, but as the queen, her position made it impossible for her to tolerate a concubine who had a son being favored alone.
She sensed danger.
She couldn't use any shady means, but she hoped to muddy the waters in the harem as soon as possible.
Le Shu was unaware of this.
Life in Yongshou Palace was similar to that in Shaoguang Palace before. She was still very busy. Now that Yinzhen had become the emperor, she could do things that she could not do before. For example, she could openly send people to intervene in the Thirteen Factories in Guangzhou.
Maritime trade brings huge profits.
The next day, the first year of Yongzheng's reign, the Qing Dynasty entered a new era.
In this year, Yinzhen began to rectify the administration of officials, reorganize the Eight Banners, and train the navy.
The money for training the navy mainly comes from his and Le Shu's secret fund. Le Shu's business is getting bigger and bigger now. Some time ago, she even published a breeding encyclopedia, which includes poultry, fungi, vegetables, crops, aquatic products...breeding methods.
She published most of it to the common people.
Yinzhen made the local economy the focus of performance appraisal, requiring local officials to promote new breeding methods, adapt to local conditions and develop locally. He also swiftly dealt with a group of officials who were content with their positions and just took advantage of the situation, and then promoted a large group of so-called "mud-legged" officials who had no achievements at all.
Le Shu kept a small number of technologies that were not suitable for current promotion to make money.
This money is enough to support a navy and replace a batch of weapons.
In the second year of Yongzheng's reign, the administration of officials had begun to show results under Yinzhen's vigorous and resolute rectification.
Le Shu is pregnant. The main reason is that there has been no news from the harem for many years and rumors have begun to spread. In addition, Hongxu is not young anymore, so the two decided to have another child.
In the Yangxin Palace, Yinzhen was reviewing memorials when he suddenly heard the sound of porcelain breaking, followed by a clear, melodious and pleasant female voice: "Your Majesty, please spare my life. I didn't mean to do that. Please forgive me..."
Yinzhen looked over unhappily, and saw a strange little palace maid kneeling on the ground.
"Su Peisheng, come in."
Su Peisheng came in quickly, and when he saw the situation in the room, his head started to hurt. He didn't pay attention and wondered which god was trying to make him unhappy!
"It was my fault. Your Majesty, please forgive me. I will take the person away right away."
Yinzhen looked at the little palace maid and felt that she looked familiar, so he said, "Wait, raise your head."
The little maid raised her head, and Yinzhen was so angry that he threw the teacup beside him: "How dare you! Su Peisheng, take the man away quickly and investigate for me. If you can't find out, don't come back to work."
Su Peisheng was trembling with fear, looking at the little palace maid who had fallen to the ground with cold eyes. Since she had made him unhappy, don't blame him for retaliating.
He dared to send a palace maid who looked 50% like Concubine Zhengui to serve in the imperial court, and kept it secret from him, the chief eunuch in the imperial court. He was really capable.
It's just that the means are too immature, and they become useless at the very beginning.
Soon, many people were cleared out of the Yangxin Palace one after another, and Yinzhen was not surprised by the results of the investigation.
He went to Jingren Palace in person and presented the investigation results to the Queen.
"Empress, what are you planning to do? Are you going to place people in the Yangxin Palace? Isn't the harem enough for you to deal with?"
Ulanara didn't expect that man to be so useless and ruin all her arrangements. She also didn't expect Yinzhen to investigate so thoroughly and find her out, which would cause her to suffer heavy losses.
She knelt on the ground and explained: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. As the queen, I cannot watch you favor the imperial concubine alone. Now that the imperial concubine is pregnant, Your Majesty does not like the old people in the palace, so you must have people to serve you."
