Emperor Kangxi sent me to marry

When Dobu returned to his room in the middle of the night, he smelled of alcohol.

"Does it smell unpleasant to you? If it does, I'll take a shower first."

Haifeng usually likes to drink double-ingredient jasmine wine, but since she was pregnant, she dared not touch even a drop of alcohol.The smell of alcohol on Dobu's body was not enough to offend her.

"Just change into some clothes."

Since he didn't plan to take any maids as concubines, Duobu always changed his clothes at home.

Standing busy behind the screen, he told Haifeng about meeting Ce Leng.

"I just can't figure it out. When he came to Beijing with his grandmother, he was already over 20 years old. He had a wife and children. How come he changed his place to live and only five or six years ago, he completely became a Manchurian. He spoke and behaved politely. That's incredible. What are you talking to me about, which family has handsome pigeons, and which family has neat houses."

"Do as the Romans do. If he doesn't learn these things, he won't be able to integrate into the circle of those Eight Banners disciples in the Forbidden City."

"I warned him. Mongolians, you must behave like Mongolians. Avoid those dandy habits. It seems that he must have listened."

After Duobu changed his clothes, Axiang led Qing'er in to make the bed.

Because the month is getting older, it is inconvenient to get up at night. Starting from the past few days, four maids have taken turns to stay on duty in Haifeng's house, waiting for calls.Yesterday, Duobu was too tired to notice. Today, he saw that Qing'er seemed to be staying outside the door. After asking them what happened, he asked them to rest for the day.

"Forget it if I'm not at home. Since I'm at home, I will naturally serve your master. Go ahead."

Qing'er didn't dare to leave until Haifeng told her to leave.

The couple made arrangements, and before Haifeng closed his eyes and fell asleep, he smiled and ordered:

"You asked for this yourself. I won't be polite and wrong myself. I will treat you like a maid."

"You're at your service. Even counting my daughter, you two together are not heavy. I can serve you without my feet touching the ground."

"Don't talk too much."

After sleeping until midnight, Haifeng wanted to take a break, but before she could say anything, Duobu sat up.

"Want to drink water?"

"No, I need to go out."

"Wait."

As expected, Duobu kept her feet off the ground. Instead of supporting her, he wrapped her tightly in a cloak, then picked her up horizontally and carried her all the way outside.After Haifeng finished dealing with it, he carried her all the way back.

He went out to ask her for hot water to wash her hands, and asked if she wanted some midnight snacks.

"What's there?"

"Qing'er said before leaving, chicken soup wontons prepared in the kitchen."

"Oh, that's alright."

After feeding Haifeng a bowl, Duobu also ate it himself, rinsed his mouth and lay down again.

"Thank you for your hard work, my dear."

"You're teasing me again, right? Taking care of your wife and children is so hard."

After some physical contact, Dobu held her in his arms again. Naturally, he couldn't sleep, so he simply found some topics to distract himself from the thought of having sex.

"I won't be able to stay at home for a few days. Khan Ama is on his northern tour and I have to go with him again. But at the end of July, that is, before you are born, I will definitely come back. Just for these few days, I will tell them not to come and I will take care of them all. How are you."

"Can't you not go?"

Since Haifeng was reborn, he had rarely acted coquettishly in such a soft and soft tone. When Dobu heard that, he really wanted to agree to her on the spot, not to leave even an inch, not to go anywhere, but to stay at the princess's residence until she matured.

"Yes, I have to go for something important. I am not in front of Khan Amma. If the matter of Galdan comes up, no one can help me to intercede. Today at the banquet, I asked Celeng, Galdan's ashes , how should we deal with it; should his children be forgiven? Guess what he said?"

Haifeng yawned slightly and replied half asleep:
"He will probably say that Galdan's body was broken and ashes were thrown away, and his son's head is missing. His daughter will be imprisoned and guarded for life."

"Why do you know everything? You're like a god."

"What's so difficult about this?" As she spoke, she no longer felt sleepy.

It was rare for Dobu to be at home with her.

No big deal, I'll get up late tomorrow morning.

"You can ask casually. Everyone in the civil and military dynasties is just a parrot. Everyone says so. Because Wu Sangui's family was dealt with like this, why should Galdan be an exception? His son Wu Yingxiong is still the son of Khan Amma. Where is my uncle?"

"But Ce Leng is a Mongolian. Mongolians do not avenge women and dead people. What Ce Leng said today really chills my heart. Feng'er, I just love you again. You want me to put down my Mongolian pride and completely change my appearance. If you become a Manchu, that is absolutely not possible.”

"I know. You don't need to change. What do Manchus have to do? The situation of ordinary Manchus is actually getting worse day by day."

"Yes. I see that in the military camp, the Eight Banners soldiers brought by General Sabsu are quite decent, but the rest are getting weaker year by year."

Haifeng lay in the darkness, with thousands of words in his chest at this moment.

poppy.

opium.

Here, they have the most suitable soil for growth, so they can take root deeply and poison generations.

This huge country almost capsized in a small gutter.

The rulers of the Qing Dynasty did not allow the Manchus to do business, farm, or learn crafts. They emphasized martial arts and suppressed literature, as long as they could recognize the necessary Manchu and Chinese characters.They are born soldiers and have no other choice.

Such a twisted system was barely justified in the war years. But in the peaceful years when there is no war to fight, what can these people do to make a living while holding the empty titles of nobles and taking the free money and food?

I'm tired of playing with flowers, birds, antiques, and concubines, and a new thing that can make me drunk has appeared, so why don't I just dive in and enjoy it.

But the banner people who really want to make progress and improve their material life through hard work can only hide their origins and pretend to be Mongolian or even Han to find a well-paid job.

Among the victims that Haifeng rescued, it was unexpectedly found that there were more than a dozen Eight Banners people who were accused by the current society of being "degenerate".

In an avalanche, no snowflake is innocent.

The cracks that caused the collapse of the late Qing Dynasty appeared as early as the Kangxi Dynasty.

"What are you thinking about? You haven't spoken for a long time?"

"Oh, it's nothing. Go to sleep. It doesn't matter to me. If you don't do it tomorrow morning, you still have to go to the South Study Room as an errand."

Dobu sighed helplessly, gave up the quilt to Haifeng, and turned his back to her.

"I can't sleep otherwise. Don't worry, it's not cold. I can sleep even if I'm wrapped in a sheepskin in the wild, let alone with such a good pillow and mattress."

So I was speechless all night.

When Haifeng opened his eyes the next day, Duobu had already left.

Axiang came in to clean up and arrange breakfast.

"I said that the master didn't sleep well and we were not allowed to bark. He took his clothes and went to the side room to wash up. Also, there was a letter from the palace. The fifth princess said that she knew the master wanted to see her. You are heavy, so don't bother. She came out of the palace to visit you."

"This ghost wants to go out to the palace to play on his own, but he uses me as an excuse. It's not impossible. Get ready. I didn't tell you, when will you come?"

"Three days later. The Ministry of Internal Affairs sent people to help today, knowing that our house has a small population and cannot support it. No matter how close it is, it is the princess's outing, and the honor guard cannot be missing."

Shutai opened the jewelry box, held it to Haifeng's bed, and asked her to choose the hairpin ring she would use when meeting the fifth princess.

"My servant guesses that with just a few steps, the princess's motorcade may have entered the gate of our mansion at the front, while the others at the back may still be stuck in the Donghua Gate!"

Her casual words came true three days later.

The five princesses were all smiling, holding hands with their elder sister and talking to each other. The last group of people in the motorcade had just left the Forbidden City.

"Fourth sister, I'm here!"

The recipe for jasmine wine copied from Feng Mengzhen's "Kuaixuetang Manlu" of the Ming Dynasty is as follows: Use Sanbaijiu or snow wine with good color and taste. Do not fill the bottle full, leave it empty by two or three inches, weave bamboo strips into a cross or a tic-tac toe, and block the bottle. Bottle mouth.Dozens of freshly picked jasmine flowers were tied with silk threads and hung on bamboo poles, about a finger's distance away from the drinks.Then seal it with paper.In about ten days, the wine will have the aroma of jasmine.Double ingredient refers to increasing the amount of jasmine and choosing it well, so the aroma is stronger than ordinary.
