Lanqiao and Bihai also understood the concerns that Jiufujin had in his heart at this moment.

Although Fu Ling'an was born in a vassal, he was the eldest son after all. The emperor treated Fu Ling'an not low: in addition to Duluo's prince, he was given to the third-class guards as soon as he was thirteen years old.

Besides, Zi Fulingan was still working in the Northwest Military Camp at this time, following Fuwen's son, Cheng'en Gong Mingrui, and the three-ei prince Sebute. With such a kinship relationship, Mingrui and Sebutebalejul gave Fulingan a chance to make meritorious contributions. Although he was still young, the emperor had personally commended him several times.

As for Fulong'an, although he is a legitimate son, he is still young after all, and he has not had the chance to enter the barracks to serve - a Manchu man has the most important military merits. If he does not have military merits, the future path will be difficult.

Besides, although Fu Longan is the fourth prince, he is only a gentle prince. The fourth princess’s mother is Chun Guifei--and the two sons of Chun Guifei have no hope of inheriting the throne at this time. Therefore, both Chun Guifei herself and the fourth princess’s value have been greatly affected.

The Nine Concubine had been worried for many days, fearing that Fu Ling'an would surpass Fu Long'an with his military merits; in that case, Yunxiang's status in the mansion would pose a great threat to herself.

The legitimate and illegitimate are in a certain position; but after all, everything depends more on the luck of the child after he grows up. There are countless cases where the child grows up, the illegitimate son surpasses the legitimate son and the youngest son surpasses the eldest son.

——Just like the Fu family’s own family, Li Rongbao, the previous generation, was the legitimate son, inheriting the middle-aged position of his family; but his position never exceeded that of two concubine brothers, Ma Qi and Ma Wu.

In Fu Heng's generation, Fu Wen was the eldest son, the main son, and inherited the title of benefactor; but in fact, the Fu family had the highest status at this time, but the youngest son Fu Heng.

Jiu Fujin was too afraid that such a thing would happen again in her children's generation. He didn't want Yunxiang's child Fulingan to surpass her Fulongan and Fukangan.

——She never thought that Fulingan's child would be so promising when he grew up, and he was not afraid of going to the front line at a young age. After going to the front line, he not only did not escape, but instead made achievements. She couldn't figure it out. With a mother like Yunxiang, how could Fulingan's child be so blessed?

Lan Qiao and Bi Hai looked at each other and replied carefully, "...In fact, Jiu Ye didn't go to anyone's house. Jiu Ye was already busy with military affairs, and it was too late to return home every night, so he rarely went to those two houses."

"Besides, Miss Zhuan is always serving her master every day. Even if Master Jiu comes back, she will not be able to see him alone."

"That is, occasionally... when Brother Ling of Northwest comes to a letter from home, or if the Military Affairs Office receives a war report related to Brother Ling of Northwest, then Jiuye will go to Yunxiang's house and have a simple meal with Yunxiang, and then leave."

The Nine Concubine felt relieved.

Looking into the mirror, her expression changed from nervousness to relaxation at that moment. She was also a little embarrassed and lowered her eyes and smiled slightly.

"After all, I am old. Master Jiu... is almost forty years old. At this age, those love and love have faded. It's just a closed door and live a stable life."

"Yunxiang is a concubine after all, and Ling'an is now competing for her. Ninth Master is also taking care of the other end of Yunxiang."

Bihai looked at Jiufujin, but he was a little reluctant to speak but stopped.

Jiufujin glanced at her from the makeup mirror, "You said."

Bihai frowned and said, "Master, what I meant is that Master Jiu has been disgusted with Yunxiang over the years, and even if he mentions it again now, it is for Brother Ling. However, there is no such thing as Master, who always pushes Master Jiu out!"

"Even if Master Jiu doesn't stay with Yunxiang today and will not stay with Yunxiang tomorrow, I may not stay there one day..." Bihai bit his lip gently, "How long will it take for my master to recover from this 'disease'?"

The "illness" of the Nine Concubine Jin received a letter from Fu Heng to Rehe in July. It was the end of November until now, and it was not cured.

Even if the Jiuye came back from Rehe and Panshan Palace, he did not see Jiufujin saying "recovery". Even if Jiufujin was not in a hurry, Lanqiao and Bihai were both anxious.

Lampe himself knew that it was not a big deal, but...

She sighed softly, "Why would I always be like this? Even if Master Jiu comes, I dare not keep Master Jiu for a stay... But if he doesn't do this, Master Jiu will immediately take Kang'er back from the palace."

"I, as a mother, can endure even if I feel aggrieved for my son's future."

Lan Qiao couldn't help but persuade, "Why are you so anxious, Master? The Ninth Princess is still young. Even if Brother Kang comes out of the palace, it won't be a big deal."

But Lampe grabbed the wooden comb tightly, "I'm not in a hurry? I was not in a hurry last time, but I didn't expect that the emperor would argue with the marriage in two months of the Seventh Princess! If I'm not in a hurry this time, the emperor might have promised the Ninth Princess to a family of heroes again!"

Lan Qiao whispered, "...We Brother Kang is the master's son after all. Whether the emperor is for the sake of Empress Xiaoxian or for the sake of our master, he will always give Brother Kang a background. If we Brother Kang is not the prince, what else can we do?"

Lan Pei raised his eyes and glanced at Lan Qiao sadly, "It is the son of Jiu Ye and the nephew of Empress Xiaoxian. The emperor must give him a birth? But have you forgotten that the princes and grandchildren of the Aisin Jueluo family. In addition to inheriting titles and ranks, many people in each family have no titles and no positions, and they have finally become idle royal families."

"Is there a yellow belt tied around my waist, but it's worse than the next generation. In the end, I didn't know how to make a living, so I secretly sold my ancestral property and flag land in private?"

"The emperor is like this to his royal children. How can you not worry about me, ah?"

Lanqiao and Bihai couldn't speak either.

The Nine Concubines are right. The Aisin Jueluo family still has so many idle royal families, without a vocational position, and the master has no official position. How many yellow-belly children were pulled out of the pass by the emperor and sent them out of the pass, sent back to Shengjing, and even to Lao Wula City, Jilin, asking them to farm in Shengjing to make a living.

After all, the prince of the Empress can be regarded as a kind of "worldly position": the rank of the Gulun prince is equivalent to the Beizi of Gushan; the rank of the Heshuo prince of the Empress is equivalent to the Duke of Zhenguo.

Just like Fu Longan, he was elected as the fourth prince at the age of four, and he had already enjoyed the public rank and could receive the salary of the duke. Now he has become an imperial guard with the status of the Heshuo prince. This is the job of gold, so you don’t have to worry about having no future in the future.

Fu Kangan is not the eldest son and cannot inherit his family business. If you want to have a background in the future, you can only rely on military merits - and military merits will naturally have to work hard. Who in this world is willing to send his son to the battlefield to bleed and go hard?

Therefore, in the eyes of Jiufujin, his military achievements are naturally not as good as being selected as the prince-senior. The prince-senior is her Kanger, and she has the most secure future in her life.

"Besides, Ling'er is a concubine, and the emperor can be elected as the prince of Doro when he is born; then Kang'er is still the legitimate son of the Ninth Master, so the emperor can be elected as the prince of the emperor - even if the emperor's own princess is not, there are so many princes, princesses of the prince's family, and princesses of the Duluo family, why can't they do it?" The Ninth Concubine stared at the makeup mirror, and her eyes became cold and hard under her gaze.

"But the emperor just didn't - if the emperor didn't spit this one day, I couldn't let it go all day. So I could only prepare for Kang'er first - in the end, the master had such an old relationship with our family. She wouldn't misunderstand my wish, and she would naturally be able to help her in the palace."

"So at this time, you must not ask Master Jiu to take Kang'er back, otherwise the effort will be in vain, and the efforts of these years will be in vain."

She knew that it was inconvenient to serve Master Jiu in order to pretend to be sick, which was a risk for her. But Master Jiu was originally despised by Yunxiang and Zhuanxiang. Besides, even if he took a step back, Master Jiu would enter the house of Yunxiang and Zhuanxiang because of her "illness" - but compared with her son's lifelong future, she would still choose to continue to pretend to be sick.

After all, Jiu Ye is almost forty, and even if he spends sleeping with Yun Xiang and Zhuan Xiang, what else can he do?

In December, war reports came from the northwest. Originally, Zhao Hui went south and began to take charge of pacifying Hezhuo, and the situation in southern Xinjiang was already very good. Under Zhao Hui's command, coupled with the assistance of the local nobles of Hui tribe, E Min and Zhuo, E and Huojis, the only remaining Kashgar and Yarkand in southern Xinjiang were still in the hands of the brothers Hezhuo, and the other important city-states had surrendered to the court.

The emperor thought that at the end of this year, the Hui tribe would be pacified. However, he did not expect that the war report in the northwest reported that Zhao Hui's army was besieged on the banks of the "Hei Water" River.

Hei Shui was outside the city of Yarkand. In the city of Yarkand, tens of thousands of people were guarded by Xiaohezhuo Huojizhan. Zhao Hui led 4,000 cavalry to attack Yarkand. When crossing the river and crossing the bridge, he only had 400 people crossed the bridge. As a result, five thousand cavalry suddenly rushed out of Yarkand, and 10,000 infantry were besieged by the Qing army. As a result, Zhao Hui was injured in the face and legs, and his war horse was shot and fell to the ground and died... The Qing army suffered heavy casualties. Because it was unable to break through, it had to camp by the Hei Shui River, called the "Hei Shui Camp".

Heishui was besieged by Xiao Hezhuo Huojizhan. It was cold and the ammunition and food were gone. Reinforcements were not arrived, and there was no danger to follow. Zhaohui urgently sought reinforcements from the capital, and the emperor sent "General Jingni" Namzar to rescue.

Namzar and the generals led more than 200 cavalry to march at night in order to meet with Zhaohui at dawn, but on the way, they encountered more than 3,000 reinforcements sent by Yamato Zhuoporoni, and were surrounded, but they were wiped out on the way...

After the war was reported back to the emperor's desk, the siege of the Black Water Camp was not resolved. The emperor was so anxious that he did not enter the water for several days. During the Chinese New Year, he had to attend all the sacrifices and celebrations of the business, but he could not have asked the front harem to see his anxiousness at this time.

Such a forced smile on the outside and an anxious heart inside were intertwined, and the emperor accidentally suffered from a cold. Fortunately, the emperor was proficient in medical treatment and timely conditioning, so he did not fall ill, but he had a low fever for many days.

Wanxi would rather the emperor have a high fever than such a low fever.

With such low fever, it is difficult to find out the root cause of the disease, and imperial doctors dare not use medicine easily.

Wanxi asked Guiyunzan privately, and Guiyunzan also said, "This low fever is the most consumed... The root of the emperor's illness is still the internal fire attacking the heart. But this fire is not a medical skill, and it can be cured by metal and stone. Only good news can be heard from the northwest as soon as possible."

But this is the capital and the Forbidden City. Even if Wanxi was anxious, she couldn't fly to the northwest military camp to help Zhao Hui remove the siege of the Hei Shui Camp, capture Yerkang, and capture Xiao Hezhuo as soon as possible...

At this moment, Wanxi really hated that she could only be a woman in the harem.

Wanxi understood that this time of persuasion was actually useless, so she could only take a few children and stay with the emperor as much as possible.

Children are ignorant and will not persuade them, but their innocence is actually the best elixir. When you are with the children, the emperor can temporarily withdraw his mind from the military situation in the northwest.

Even if you can only steal for a moment, you can relieve the emperor's condition slightly.

On this day, Duo Guiren came to Yongshou Palace with a serious expression. Although he didn't speak when he entered the door, he only took Wanxi's needlework basket and helped Wanxi do those needlework. However, how could Wanxi not see that there was something in her heart?

Wanxi pulled the needle and thread basket back, held Duogui Ren's hand and asked, "What's wrong with Duogui Ren?"

Duo Guiren's eyes were a little flustered, "...My father brought his tribesmen back to the court from Erut. Because he could never return to the original nomadic land, the emperor was polite to my mother's house, so he settled my mother's house in Hulunbuir and assigned it to the nomadic land."

Wanxi nodded, "I have also heard of it. Like your Galezate tribe, there are also Dulbert tribe, Minggate tribe, etc. This is all the emperor sympathizes with you and asks you to return to the court and live and work in peace. This is a good thing, how can you still look worried when you have many noble people?"

Duo Guiren lowered his head, and his voice was vaguely choked, "... Because my mother's family escaped from Kazakh Xila's pursuit and was robbed by Wulianghai on the way, so when he returned to the court, there was nothing left. Livestock, farm tools, wheat seeds, etc. could only rely on the court to give them."

"After the emperor's kindness, every two households paid a liang of silver for each farmer, a stone of wheat planting, and a ox plowing. Each cow was given a 8 tael of silver for it to be cultivated..."

Wanxi nodded, "After all, the journey is long, so the court gave these livestock and farming tools, so it is not convenient to drive them away from you thousands of miles away. It would be fined into silver and handed over to your mother's house, so that they can buy it nearby locally."

Duo Guiren nodded, but shed tears.

"But the emperor was in the will and suddenly scolded my mother's family and others for being greedy and gluttonous, and did not know how to save money." Heilongjiang General Choledo, who was required to strictly control my mother's family and not to be frugal, and not to be frugal in the Qing Dynasty.)

After hearing this, Wanxi's heart trembled slightly.

Since the imperial court used troops in the northwest, the emperor has always given favorable treatment to all the tribes of Erut who came to return, and rarely used such strict words - not to mention that this refers to the Galezate tribe where the mother of the noble family is located.

Wanxi lowered her head and said softly, "Don't blame the emperor... The emperor has been unable to eat these days, and has had a low fever for several days. His heart is stolen by the Hei Shui Camp. Under such a state of mind, the emperor's words are a little stern, so you can understand it at least."

There is another layer: the Galezate tribe is the old subordinate of Kazakh Xila after all. Until now, Kazakh Xila has not been arrested. The emperor was anxious, so he couldn't help but reveal some resentment...

The noble man nodded, but the tears fell more and more anxiously. "I just hated myself! After all, I was in the palace, so I should be able to explain a little to my mother's house in front of the emperor. I can think that if my mother's house receives the order, it will definitely be disappointed with me... The emperor will not say such words to them if he has some affection for me."

Wanxi's heart was also a little heavy.

After five years of military service in the northwest, he was exhausted. The emperor couldn't help but express his resentment towards the various tribes of Erut Mongolia in his words. At this time, the various tribes of Erut Mongolia would also have various doubts about the court and the emperor.

If you are not careful at this moment, the tribes of the Erut who will call back may rebel again. Didn’t this happen once after the first pacification of Junggar? Those tribes that originally returned and were enthroned by the emperor were dissatisfied with the war, and turned their guns and rebelled against them under the instigation of Qingguzabu.

At this time, the emperor's favor for the tribes of Erlut cannot be reduced, and these tribes that have moved to the mainland cannot be in chaos. Otherwise, all the efforts of the five years of military use in the northwest will be in vain.

Wanxi hurriedly held Duo Guiren's hand, "You must not think like this! You must also try to tell your mother's family and clan members not to think like this."

"Not only your Galezate tribe, but also those around your family, Dulbert and Mingat, can't think like this..."

Duo Guiren nodded with tears in his eyes, "I don't want to think like this. After all, the emperor has just regained my position as a noble person, and the emperor is also very nice to me - but now, the emperor actually said that in the emperor's decree, I really don't have confidence."

Wanxi took a deep breath, raised her eyes and focused on the noble people, "What should you do to calm your heart?"

"Is it a position? Don't worry. As soon as you have just restored the noble, you have to wait a moment to get the title again. But I dare to tell you: The emperor will definitely not be wronged in the matter of being in power. Don't worry."

Duo Guiren shook his head gently.

Her eyes fixedly stared at the faint sunshine on the floor.

The winter sun is quiet and quiet, but it is short. I can't say it for a while, but when I look at it, it has become smaller and shallower.

After a long time, many noble people suddenly raised their eyes and focused on them.

"Since entering the palace, the emperor has turned over my sign several times. But I have never really served the emperor - I was a woman from Kazakhstan after all, and the emperor's heart is also separated by a layer, and I am also separated by a layer. The emperor does not want to be grateful to me, and I do not want to serve him..."

"But now--I changed my mind."
To be continued...
