The Princess of Fortune in Qing Dynasty
Chapter 123
The clattering of horseshoes passed on the wide asphalt road, and the poplars on both sides of the road fluttered in the wind, as if they were cheering for this group of people.
This is a caravan. The leader has protruding temples and thick calluses on his hands. He can be seen as a Lianjiazi at a glance.Behind him followed several carriages. The appearance of the carriages was extraordinary, and even the curtains on the doors were the most common blue and white florals.
A breeze blew over one foot of the curtain, revealing the fine fur that lay beneath.
The window of the car was opened by a chubby little hand, revealing a chubby little face. The little girl was only five or six years old, with two buns tied on her head.Her eyes were lively and she was full of curiosity about everything outside, but before she could see clearly, a pair of big hands stretched out and covered the curtain back.
"Ama," the little girl said dissatisfiedly with her lips pouted.
Sitting next to her was a young woman. The woman was wearing ordinary Han clothes, her hair was tied into a bun, and there were only a few red hairpins stuck on it.Even so, it was hard to hide the woman's beautiful eyes.
After twisting the little girl's face, the woman said, "Anhe, you forgot again, we are now businessmen from the Han family, you have to call me father and mother."
This group is none other than Kangxi and the prince and his party.
It has been three years since Kangxi got the system.Great changes have taken place in the Qing Dynasty. Not to mention the improvement of people's lives, the most important thing is that a "Great Wall" was built in the southeast coastal area.
Back then, the Great Wall to the north made a lot of contributions to preventing the Qing soldiers from entering the pass. The Manchus love and hate this promenade.Therefore, after obtaining the system, Kangxi followed the example of the pre-Qin period to build the Great Wall in the southeast.The purpose is naturally to prevent the Japanese and Westerners from coveting the Qing Dynasty.
It is difficult to build the Great Wall, not to mention the manpower and material resources it needs to consume, but it is said that the Japanese would not allow it in the first place.
With the system, Kangxi is not afraid of the Japanese. He is worried that he will not be able to show the power of the Qing Dynasty to the world. It would be best for the Japanese to invade.He only ordered five thousand soldiers and horses, and the elder brother Yinti and the fifth elder brother Yinqi led the team to the southeast.
These five thousand soldiers and horses are skilled in water and water warfare, and their marksmanship is first-rate.The Japanese who beat them retreated steadily, and the Japanese who beat them the most ruthlessly did not dare to go to sea for a year.
At this time, after three years, the city defense along the southeast coast had almost been built. Kangxi simply abandoned state affairs and asked Prince Yu Fuquan to supervise the country. He took his sons to the southeast for inspection.Accompanying them are the Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager, Shiliu, Sa Ren's mother and son, Concubine Yi, Concubine Yi and two favored little promises.
A group of people left the palace in micro-clothes, and changed into an ordinary caravan.Kazakh is the captain of the caravan. They went to Guangdong to find relatives and make some noise by the way.
An He is young and curious about everything. Now that she has entered the territory of Guangdong, she hastily opened the curtain first, wanting to see the difference between Guangdong and the previous province.
It's just that she was slapped off by her Ama before she could see the one, two, three.
An He sticks out her tongue, "I'm sorry, Er Niang, I won't forget next time." I'm used to calling Ama, and if I ask her to change her mouth, she will always forget subconsciously.No, she said she was sorry, and called her Er Niang again.
Shiliu shook her head helplessly, she also knew that the habit of five or six years would be difficult to change, but they are now acting as businessmen.Although the emperor did not explicitly prohibit the Manchus from doing business, the status of the merchants was low. If people knew their Manchu identities, it would inevitably cause unnecessary trouble.
Only Anhe is young and well protected, so she has no sense of crisis in her heart.
Hongxi at the side saw her sister's pitiful look, and turned to look at Shiliu, "Emiang, can we see Hongyu and uncle this time?" Counting the days, he and Hongyu haven't seen each other for three years. , he really missed him a little bit.
Kangxi was a good father when there were no rights disputes. Whether it was the elder brother or the fifth elder brother who had been guarding the southeast for three years, all their family members were brought here.The fifth elder brother is easy to say, Wu Fujin is the only one who follows, and the eldest elder brother drags his family with him, and all his children follow.
She reached out and touched Hongxi's head, "Hongxi misses your uncle so much, you don't know how happy your uncle will be when he sees you." She didn't expect Hongxi to show face every time he saw his elder brother , The two of them got along very happily.
Hongxi raised the corners of her lips, her appearance was exactly the same as when the prince framed someone.Er Niang is too simple, he still doesn't want to tell Er Niang, he just thinks the uncle's clumsy look is very funny.
The weather in Guangdong is different from that in the capital. They set off from the capital in July, and it is now September. They thought it would be cool, but it turned out that it was still hot here, and people were sweating all over their faces.
'Royal Inn', this is the inn opened by the ninth elder brother, Kangxi. You can tell from the name that it belongs to the official power, which is similar to the inn but very different.The post station is a place for officials to live. If you are not an official, you can't get in at all.But as long as you have money, you can live in the Royal Inn, from high-ranking officials and dignitaries to traffickers and pawns, they will not refuse anyone.
The construction of the 'Royal Inn' is all small reinforced concrete five-story western-style buildings. Not to mention the Qing Dynasty, this kind of building is the only one in the world.
Of course Shiliu and the others lived in not such a room, but in several independent garden-style three-story buildings next to it.It costs 500 taels of silver to live in such a building for one night, and the level of gold absorption is staggering.
Of course, it is expensive and has its advantages. There are guards patrolling twelve hours a day, and each guard has at least three years of battlefield experience, which means that they are all veterans who have retired from the battlefield.Even valuables can be registered with the shopkeeper. As long as you pay a certain amount of money, if you lose something in the inn, you can get double compensation.
Because of this service, it has attracted many wealthy businessmen to stay here.
The independent guest room is the first choice for those people. If Brother Jiu hadn't asked someone to vacate a separate room at the beginning of the construction, they might not be able to live in it.
Pomegranate and other female relatives went to wash and rest by themselves, and Kangxi, Jiu Age and others recruited the shopkeeper to start checking the accounts.
Before she could tidy up, she saw Yinreng coming in. She looked up at the sky suspiciously, not understanding why Yinreng came back so early.
I saw Yinfeng sitting on the chair with no image, "Old Jiu and Han Ama are the ones who are checking the accounts. My third brother and I will find an excuse to sneak back."
Now he can still imagine the resentful look in Jiudi's eyes.
Yinfeng smiled unkindly.
The ninth brother loves money. When he wanted to build this inn, Khan Ama originally disagreed, but he helped intercede, and the ninth brother promised to pay a million taels of silver every year, so Khan Ama reluctantly agreed.
The ninth brother was very happy to get what he wanted, but later he found that things were not as easy as he imagined, so he started to scold his mother.
Now everyone else can find a reason to rest, only he has to settle accounts with an abacus.There are so many books in the Royal Inn. They will stay here for at most three days, and the ninth brother may not even have the chance to go out for a stroll.
Shiliu smiled unkindly when she thought of how busy the elder brothers have been like dogs in the past three years.Who would have thought that in the past, the princes of the emperor could only be assigned errands at the age of 15, and sometimes they had to go to the study room to study after the court was over if there was no errand arrangement.It's good now, even a little elder brother like Shi 34 has been sent out to help.
Like Brother Nine, how much he wanted to be a businessman to make money, but now he wants to stay away from this industry.Because too busy.Especially for this trip, everyone else was resting and shopping to see the scenery, but he was the only one hiding in the guest room and making plans.
Looking at it this way, Yinfeng is the easiest, he just needs to distribute the things the emperor entrusted to him.With a chuckle, "Aren't you afraid that your younger brothers will pull you off the horse?" The elder brother Huang's eyes were almost twisted when they looked at Yinfeng, but he himself was still gloating behind his back unconsciously.
Yinfeng shook his head, they do have that time.Let's just talk about the ninth brother, don't look at him with bitterness and hatred on his face, but in fact he is touching money in his hand, and I don't know how happy he is in his heart.
How should I put it, it should be called pain and happiness.
If the ninth younger brother was to be busy everywhere like he is now, the ninth younger brother would definitely be the first one to quit.
There is also the eighth brother. Now that the Qing Dynasty is getting stronger and stronger, Galdan dare not make mistakes, and the Qing Dynasty will do what it says.The eighth brother probably tasted the sweetness of negotiating with others, and he has already turned his attention to Tsarist Russia and Xinjiang in the north, intending to provoke them into turmoil, so that he can peel off the opponent at the negotiating table.
Looking at the aggrieved expression on the other side, the smile on the eighth brother's face is much more sincere.
Needless to say the other princes.The reason why he can have free time is thanks to his fourth brother, who can take care of whatever matters are entrusted to him.
Yinreng directly ignored Si elder brother's resentful and cold eyes looking at him, anyway, Si elder brother would not say anything, and he would not lose a piece of meat after being stared at, so he just pretended not to see it.
Hearing that Yinreng is like a family treasure and clearly arranged for the brothers, Shiliu can only light the wax for these brothers in her heart.
After a short rest, Shiliu went to see the Empress Dowager, she was getting old, so Shiliu would worry about whether she would be uncomfortable every time she made a trip.
When she went, the female relatives were talking around the empress dowager, and Yifei's laughter could be heard from afar.
"Your Majesty is in great spirits,"
Concubine Yi saluted the Crown Princess, the Empress Dowager pointed at her and said with a smile: "Lao Wu has been away for three years, she has been thinking about it day and night, and now she is about to see Lao Wu, Aijia sees that her thoughts have already flown away. "
Shiliu pursed her lips and showed a slight smile, and went straight to the Empress Dowager to rub his shoulders, "My concubine, it seems that you miss the fifth younger brother."
Concubine Yi immediately followed suit: "It's still the Crown Princess who understands you. Obviously you want to be the fifth child, but you actually push it to the concubine. The concubine will not obey."
"It's a pity that you can still get together with the fifth brother. It's a pity for Concubine Hui." Originally, the emperor planned to bring Concubine Hui with him this time. Concubine Yi also had a son by his side, and Concubine Hui was born to the elder brother.Unfortunately, Concubine Hui fell ill before departure.Besides, the harem couldn't be without the main empress, so she and Concubine Rong were left behind.
"The concubine heard from the prince that the Japanese people have settled down now, and the Great Wall is almost built, and there are soldiers on it. It will be a hundred times harder for them to harass the people again. If Khan Ama is satisfied this time, maybe he will Let eldest brother and fifth younger brother return to Beijing."
Concubine Yi couldn't hide the joy on her face, "That's really great, to be honest, the fifth child is not around, even if I know he will be fine, this concubine still feels very upset."
The empress dowager nodded, and the mother who traveled thousands of miles was worried, who would not be worried about his son as a mother.
Speaking of this, she couldn't help but think of the late Wu Yashi.
Three years ago, the sixth elder brother conspired against her and ended up with no bones left. On the same day, Wu Ya ran to the emperor crying, saying that the sixth elder brother was possessed by evildoers, and she herself was also controlled.
The empress dowager wanted to laugh, Wu Ya really thought everyone was a fool, no one in the palace knew how she treated the sixth child.If it is said that the sixth elder brother is possessed by someone, then Wu Ya's must be the first one.
Why didn't Wu Yashi say anything for so long? She couldn't be said to have been controlled from the beginning, right?
Now that the sixth elder brother is gone, the emperor is still furious, so she came here.For what, both she and the emperor knew.
It's just that he is afraid that he will be liquidated by the emperor.
Looking at her attitude towards Fourteen and Fourth Elder Brother, you can see that her son is just her tool.
It is understandable that the women in the palace have other purposes for their sons.But for someone like Wu Yashi, I'm sorry she can't understand.
Therefore, she was not surprised at all to see the emperor dealt with the Wuya clan mercilessly.
Look at Concubine Yi again, the Fifth Elder Brother was also carried to Qiqige's side since childhood, does Yi Concubine have no feelings for Fifth Elder Brother?No, although she seems to love the ninth elder brother who is by her side the most, in fact, it is the fifth elder brother that she can't let go of the most in her heart.
"Old Ancestor, do you want to go out for a stroll tomorrow?" Pomegranate interrupted the Empress Dowager's thoughts.
Whenever he went to a place, the emperor would stop to observe the people's sentiments. These female relatives were relatively free, they could rest in the inn, or go out for a walk.The emperor took the empress dowager and the empress dowager with the intention of letting them go around, but the empress dowager was too old to move, so she had to rely on pomegranates to persuade them every time.
"Stop talking about being afraid of the cold, this excuse doesn't work here."
The Empress Dowager laughed, "Can the Ai family be afraid of the heat?" It wasn't that she wasn't interested in the outside world, but she felt that she was getting old and followed them out, and they had to take care of her old bones, so they definitely couldn't have a good time shopping.Besides, not everyone just took a look at Shiliu and regarded her as an ordinary old lady. It was inevitable that others would feel uncomfortable when she went.
An He ran over and hugged the Empress Dowager's thigh, "Don't the ancestors like An He? An He wants to go shopping with the ancestors. An He has monthly money and silver to buy flowers and clothes for the ancestors."
The Empress Dowager clutched her heart, this girl was so cute, who could bear her coquettish appearance.Anyway, she can't.Hugging An He, "Our An He is the most filial, good, good, the ancestors will go out with An He tomorrow and buy flowers for our An He."
Concubine Yi looked at An He greedily, "I heard that the old five family has another one, I wonder if I can have a little princess this time." Unlike other families who hope for a son, Concubine Yi dreams of having a daughter.Now that she is too young, she can't give birth by herself, so she has her eyes on Wu Fujin's stomach.
"Anhe and Hongxi are going to study in the study next year. When will you and the prince have good news?" The empress dowager wanted to talk about this two years ago, but she was not in a hurry to see the emperor and the prince. I didn't mention it.Now that Hongxi is not young, it would be appropriate to have a second son.
She has seen the busyness of the elder brothers in the past three years. With a younger brother, Hongxi will have someone to help her when the time comes.
Shiliu didn't expect the Empress Dowager to say this, her face turned red.In the past few years, she and the crown prince have indeed been intentionally contraceptive, and they just want to educate Hongxi and Anhe well first.Originally, they planned to conceive and have a child this year, but when Yinfeng learned that they were leaving the palace, they postponed it.
If there is only the Empress Dowager alone, she will just say it. In front of so many people, she can't discuss this matter with the Empress Dowager, right?
What the Empress Dowager said meant nothing else. Although the prince and concubine's contraception was not publicized, the general physician knew about it.The Empress Dowager once summoned the imperial physician to inquire about the health condition of the Crown Princess, so she naturally knew about it.Although she found it a little difficult to understand, she didn't intend to interfere too much.
Today, she has a deep understanding of what to ask and what not to ask.
But the newcomer to the palace Xiao promised to misunderstand.Calculating carefully, it has been five or six years since the Crown Princess and the Crown Prince got married. Except for the birth of twins in the first year, there has been no movement in the Crown Princess' belly in these years.Seeing that the princess's face turned red, she mistakenly thought that the princess was injured and unable to give birth.
So, she said: "The maidservant's natal family is in Guangzhou. If the Crown Princess doesn't dislike her, the maidservant also has a concubine who is just thirteen this year. She will definitely honor the Crown Princess if she is honest and responsible."
Everyone understood the meaning of what Xiao promised, but Concubine Yi just laughed out loud without giving any face.Xiao promised to enter the palace last year, because of her delicate and pretty appearance, she has been favored since entering the palace.He raised his hand to look at the pink nails on his hands. This man, once he is favored, he tends to forget his duty.
It's not without reason that the princess has been favored by the princess for so many years. The emperor didn't say anything, just a small promise.Heh, "Promise to have a good relationship with my concubine?" Concubine Niu Hulu deliberately emphasized the word "concubine".
Xiao promised to lower her head shyly, "The slave and the concubine are about the same age, and they grew up together, so the relationship is naturally good."
Carelessly fiddled with the teacup, the imperial concubine said, "Since I promised to have such a good relationship with my sister-in-law, I will let your sister-in-law enter the palace to accompany you in my palace's opinion. You two are still getting along so harmoniously. This really moved me emotionally."
Niu Hulu is a noble concubine, even if the emperor doesn't like her, he will look at the Duke's Mansion behind her to give her face.Don't look at her as a noble concubine, that's because Niu Hulu's family has a queen, otherwise, after Tong Guifei passed away, Kangxi should have entered her as the imperial concubine.
Xiao Xu promised not to understand why the noble concubine was upset by being so nice, but she didn't dare to say that.Her concubine sister was prettier than her, and her concubine's forehead was deliberately raped by someone.The emperor's time to go to the harem is limited, and now she can only take her turn once a month. If the concubine sister is allowed to enter the palace, I don't know if she will have a share.
She is different from the imperial concubine, how can she be willing to let others divide her favor.
The Empress Dowager glanced at her, and said coldly: "The Ai family thinks that the concubine's idea is good. The Niu Hulu family is indeed a famous family, and the girls they cultivate are knowledgeable."
Pomegranate is filial, what if he misunderstands himself because of this promise?
An He looked at Xiaoyue and asked curiously: "Are you going to send me a woman?" She turned her head to look at the Empress Dowager, "Is this the old patriarch of the Goulan Courtyard that Uncle Ten said? Uncle Ten said that they always introduce customers like this, and Uncle Ten also said that once those people say this, they want to cheat money."
She looked at Xiao Xu vigilantly, "I, Ama, have no money." She had seen it all, and Ama would always ask Emiang for money when he went out. He really had no money.
Concubine Niu Hulu squatted down and looked at An He, "An He, tell me, did your tenth uncle take you to that kind of place?" Thinking about it, it was time for Xiao Shi to release the people in the house, but she listened to the prince The concubine once said that it is not good for a man to start eating meat too early, so that's why he has been procrastinating.Could it be that Xiao Ten couldn't bear it by himself, so he went out to find a woman.
It took An He a while to understand what the imperial concubine meant. She shook her head, "No. It was when An He went shopping with Ama and his uncles that Uncle Ten said that when he saw someone greet them with a handkerchief." Uncle Ten's appearance was so disgusting, he almost vomited in front of those people.
It's fine if you don't have it, it's fine if you don't have it.Touching An He's head, she said with a pleasant face, "An He is so good." The old ten is unreliable, he can say anything in front of the child, and he must teach him a good lesson later.
Hong Xi looked up at An He, his sister was cheating again.Could it be that she wanted to ride a horse and Tenth Uncle didn't agree, let her bear the grudge until now, and actually sued the imperial concubine in a disguised form.Sure enough, only villains and women are difficult to raise. He, Ama, is really wise and mighty so he didn't bring a group of women back.
Of course, the worst thing was Han Mafa's promise, who was regarded as a soliciting bustard.However, he will not sympathize with the other party.
Concubine Yi covered the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, oh, Xiao Anhe is so cute.Even though she knew she was deliberately deceiving others, she still couldn't help liking her.
Among the people present, only Xiao Xu's face turned purple.That's the prince's first daughter, what can she do?
Xiao promised that she had been wronged, but she didn't know that what made her feel wronged was yet to come.
The Empress Dowager was very talkative, and treated these few who followed her out of the palace with a pleasant face.Usually they are not qualified to enter the gate of the Palace of Compassion and Peace, but now they are able to accompany the Empress Dowager every day, such an honor spreads to envy everyone.
"What did you say?" Xiao promised to look at the nanny in front of her in disbelief.She was stopped outside by the Empress Dowager, saying that she was not qualified to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager when she promised. She was obviously blind just now when she agreed to go in at the same level as her.
"Agreed to atone, this is what the Empress Dowager meant." Mammy said neither humble nor overbearing.
Xiao Xu's chest heaved, what did the Empress Dowager mean? According to her, it was clearly the Crown Princess who was obstructing it.She just made an opinion, and she was so jealous, she didn't have the bearing of a doctor at all.
It is not without reason why Xiao promised to trouble Pomegranate.It all started when the prince went to Pingyang for disaster relief.At that time, she happened to pass by Pingyang on business, and when she saw the prince smiling in the sun, she fell in love with him deeply.
She originally thought that with her family background and appearance, she would definitely be favored by the prince.Later, she ran into the prince again in the imperial garden, and she felt it was fate.How could she have thought that what she thought was a sure thing, would turn around and be accepted into the harem by the emperor.
Although she is also favored in the harem, but the prince is young, how does the emperor compare with the prince?
She didn't think it was the prince's fault, so she blamed everything on the allegedly jealous princess.

Looking at it this way, Yinfeng is the easiest, he just needs to distribute the things the emperor entrusted to him.With a chuckle, "Aren't you afraid that your younger brothers will pull you off the horse?" The elder brother Huang's eyes were almost twisted when they looked at Yinfeng, but he himself was still gloating behind his back unconsciously.
Yinfeng shook his head, they do have that time.Let's just talk about the ninth brother, don't look at him with bitterness and hatred on his face, but in fact he is touching money in his hand, and I don't know how happy he is in his heart.
How should I put it, it should be called pain and happiness.
If the ninth younger brother was to be busy everywhere like he is now, the ninth younger brother would definitely be the first one to quit.
There is also the eighth brother. Now that the Qing Dynasty is getting stronger and stronger, Galdan dare not make mistakes, and the Qing Dynasty will do what it says.The eighth brother probably tasted the sweetness of negotiating with others, and he has already turned his attention to Tsarist Russia and Xinjiang in the north, intending to provoke them into turmoil, so that he can peel off the opponent at the negotiating table.
Looking at the aggrieved expression on the other side, the smile on the eighth brother's face is much more sincere.
Needless to say the other princes.The reason why he can have free time is thanks to his fourth brother, who can take care of whatever matters are entrusted to him.
Yinreng directly ignored Si elder brother's resentful and cold eyes looking at him, anyway, Si elder brother would not say anything, and he would not lose a piece of meat after being stared at, so he just pretended not to see it.
Hearing that Yinreng is like a family treasure and clearly arranged for the brothers, Shiliu can only light the wax for these brothers in her heart.
After a short rest, Shiliu went to see the Empress Dowager, she was getting old, so Shiliu would worry about whether she would be uncomfortable every time she made a trip.
When she went, the female relatives were talking around the empress dowager, and Yifei's laughter could be heard from afar.
"Your Majesty is in great spirits,"
Concubine Yi saluted the Crown Princess, the Empress Dowager pointed at her and said with a smile: "Lao Wu has been away for three years, she has been thinking about it day and night, and now she is about to see Lao Wu, Aijia sees that her thoughts have already flown away. "
Shiliu pursed her lips and showed a slight smile, and went straight to the Empress Dowager to rub his shoulders, "My concubine, it seems that you miss the fifth younger brother."
Concubine Yi immediately followed suit: "It's still the Crown Princess who understands you. Obviously you want to be the fifth child, but you actually push it to the concubine. The concubine will not obey."
"It's a pity that you can still get together with the fifth brother. It's a pity for Concubine Hui." Originally, the emperor planned to bring Concubine Hui with him this time. Concubine Yi also had a son by his side, and Concubine Hui was born to the elder brother.Unfortunately, Concubine Hui fell ill before departure.Besides, the harem couldn't be without the main empress, so she and Concubine Rong were left behind.
"The concubine heard from the prince that the Japanese people have settled down now, and the Great Wall is almost built, and there are soldiers on it. It will be a hundred times harder for them to harass the people again. If Khan Ama is satisfied this time, maybe he will Let eldest brother and fifth younger brother return to Beijing."
Concubine Yi couldn't hide the joy on her face, "That's really great, to be honest, the fifth child is not around, even if I know he will be fine, this concubine still feels very upset."
The empress dowager nodded, and the mother who traveled thousands of miles was worried, who would not be worried about his son as a mother.
Speaking of this, she couldn't help but think of the late Wu Yashi.
Three years ago, the sixth elder brother conspired against her and ended up with no bones left. On the same day, Wu Ya ran to the emperor crying, saying that the sixth elder brother was possessed by evildoers, and she herself was also controlled.
The empress dowager wanted to laugh, Wu Ya really thought everyone was a fool, no one in the palace knew how she treated the sixth child.If it is said that the sixth elder brother is possessed by someone, then Wu Ya's must be the first one.
Why didn't Wu Yashi say anything for so long? She couldn't be said to have been controlled from the beginning, right?
Now that the sixth elder brother is gone, the emperor is still furious, so she came here.For what, both she and the emperor knew.
It's just that he is afraid that he will be liquidated by the emperor.
Looking at her attitude towards Fourteen and Fourth Elder Brother, you can see that her son is just her tool.
It is understandable that the women in the palace have other purposes for their sons.But for someone like Wu Yashi, I'm sorry she can't understand.
Therefore, she was not surprised at all to see the emperor dealt with the Wuya clan mercilessly.
Look at Concubine Yi again, the Fifth Elder Brother was also carried to Qiqige's side since childhood, does Yi Concubine have no feelings for Fifth Elder Brother?No, although she seems to love the ninth elder brother who is by her side the most, in fact, it is the fifth elder brother that she can't let go of the most in her heart.
"Old Ancestor, do you want to go out for a stroll tomorrow?" Pomegranate interrupted the Empress Dowager's thoughts.
Whenever he went to a place, the emperor would stop to observe the people's sentiments. These female relatives were relatively free, they could rest in the inn, or go out for a walk.The emperor took the empress dowager and the empress dowager with the intention of letting them go around, but the empress dowager was too old to move, so she had to rely on pomegranates to persuade them every time.
"Stop talking about being afraid of the cold, this excuse doesn't work here."
The Empress Dowager laughed, "Can the Ai family be afraid of the heat?" It wasn't that she wasn't interested in the outside world, but she felt that she was getting old and followed them out, and they had to take care of her old bones, so they definitely couldn't have a good time shopping.Besides, not everyone just took a look at Shiliu and regarded her as an ordinary old lady. It was inevitable that others would feel uncomfortable when she went.
An He ran over and hugged the Empress Dowager's thigh, "Don't the ancestors like An He? An He wants to go shopping with the ancestors. An He has monthly money and silver to buy flowers and clothes for the ancestors."
The Empress Dowager clutched her heart, this girl was so cute, who could bear her coquettish appearance.Anyway, she can't.Hugging An He, "Our An He is the most filial, good, good, the ancestors will go out with An He tomorrow and buy flowers for our An He."
Concubine Yi looked at An He greedily, "I heard that the old five family has another one, I wonder if I can have a little princess this time." Unlike other families who hope for a son, Concubine Yi dreams of having a daughter.Now that she is too young, she can't give birth by herself, so she has her eyes on Wu Fujin's stomach.
"Anhe and Hongxi are going to study in the study next year. When will you and the prince have good news?" The empress dowager wanted to talk about this two years ago, but she was not in a hurry to see the emperor and the prince. I didn't mention it.Now that Hongxi is not young, it would be appropriate to have a second son.
She has seen the busyness of the elder brothers in the past three years. With a younger brother, Hongxi will have someone to help her when the time comes.
Shiliu didn't expect the Empress Dowager to say this, her face turned red.In the past few years, she and the crown prince have indeed been intentionally contraceptive, and they just want to educate Hongxi and Anhe well first.Originally, they planned to conceive and have a child this year, but when Yinfeng learned that they were leaving the palace, they postponed it.
If there is only the Empress Dowager alone, she will just say it. In front of so many people, she can't discuss this matter with the Empress Dowager, right?
What the Empress Dowager said meant nothing else. Although the prince and concubine's contraception was not publicized, the general physician knew about it.The Empress Dowager once summoned the imperial physician to inquire about the health condition of the Crown Princess, so she naturally knew about it.Although she found it a little difficult to understand, she didn't intend to interfere too much.
Today, she has a deep understanding of what to ask and what not to ask.
But the newcomer to the palace Xiao promised to misunderstand.Calculating carefully, it has been five or six years since the Crown Princess and the Crown Prince got married. Except for the birth of twins in the first year, there has been no movement in the Crown Princess' belly in these years.Seeing that the princess's face turned red, she mistakenly thought that the princess was injured and unable to give birth.
So, she said: "The maidservant's natal family is in Guangzhou. If the Crown Princess doesn't dislike her, the maidservant also has a concubine who is just thirteen this year. She will definitely honor the Crown Princess if she is honest and responsible."
Everyone understood the meaning of what Xiao promised, but Concubine Yi just laughed out loud without giving any face.Xiao promised to enter the palace last year, because of her delicate and pretty appearance, she has been favored since entering the palace.He raised his hand to look at the pink nails on his hands. This man, once he is favored, he tends to forget his duty.
It's not without reason that the princess has been favored by the princess for so many years. The emperor didn't say anything, just a small promise.Heh, "Promise to have a good relationship with my concubine?" Concubine Niu Hulu deliberately emphasized the word "concubine".
Xiao promised to lower her head shyly, "The slave and the concubine are about the same age, and they grew up together, so the relationship is naturally good."
Carelessly fiddled with the teacup, the imperial concubine said, "Since I promised to have such a good relationship with my sister-in-law, I will let your sister-in-law enter the palace to accompany you in my palace's opinion. You two are still getting along so harmoniously. This really moved me emotionally."
Niu Hulu is a noble concubine, even if the emperor doesn't like her, he will look at the Duke's Mansion behind her to give her face.Don't look at her as a noble concubine, that's because Niu Hulu's family has a queen, otherwise, after Tong Guifei passed away, Kangxi should have entered her as the imperial concubine.
Xiao Xu promised not to understand why the noble concubine was upset by being so nice, but she didn't dare to say that.Her concubine sister was prettier than her, and her concubine's forehead was deliberately raped by someone.The emperor's time to go to the harem is limited, and now she can only take her turn once a month. If the concubine sister is allowed to enter the palace, I don't know if she will have a share.
She is different from the imperial concubine, how can she be willing to let others divide her favor.
The Empress Dowager glanced at her, and said coldly: "The Ai family thinks that the concubine's idea is good. The Niu Hulu family is indeed a famous family, and the girls they cultivate are knowledgeable."
Pomegranate is filial, what if he misunderstands himself because of this promise?
An He looked at Xiaoyue and asked curiously: "Are you going to send me a woman?" She turned her head to look at the Empress Dowager, "Is this the old patriarch of the Goulan Courtyard that Uncle Ten said? Uncle Ten said that they always introduce customers like this, and Uncle Ten also said that once those people say this, they want to cheat money."
She looked at Xiao Xu vigilantly, "I, Ama, have no money." She had seen it all, and Ama would always ask Emiang for money when he went out. He really had no money.
Concubine Niu Hulu squatted down and looked at An He, "An He, tell me, did your tenth uncle take you to that kind of place?" Thinking about it, it was time for Xiao Shi to release the people in the house, but she listened to the prince The concubine once said that it is not good for a man to start eating meat too early, so that's why he has been procrastinating.Could it be that Xiao Ten couldn't bear it by himself, so he went out to find a woman.
It took An He a while to understand what the imperial concubine meant. She shook her head, "No. It was when An He went shopping with Ama and his uncles that Uncle Ten said that when he saw someone greet them with a handkerchief." Uncle Ten's appearance was so disgusting, he almost vomited in front of those people.
It's fine if you don't have it, it's fine if you don't have it.Touching An He's head, she said with a pleasant face, "An He is so good." The old ten is unreliable, he can say anything in front of the child, and he must teach him a good lesson later.
Hong Xi looked up at An He, his sister was cheating again.Could it be that she wanted to ride a horse and Tenth Uncle didn't agree, let her bear the grudge until now, and actually sued the imperial concubine in a disguised form.Sure enough, only villains and women are difficult to raise. He, Ama, is really wise and mighty so he didn't bring a group of women back.
Of course, the worst thing was Han Mafa's promise, who was regarded as a soliciting bustard.However, he will not sympathize with the other party.
Concubine Yi covered the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, oh, Xiao Anhe is so cute.Even though she knew she was deliberately deceiving others, she still couldn't help liking her.
Among the people present, only Xiao Xu's face turned purple.That's the prince's first daughter, what can she do?
Xiao promised that she had been wronged, but she didn't know that what made her feel wronged was yet to come.
The Empress Dowager was very talkative, and treated these few who followed her out of the palace with a pleasant face.Usually they are not qualified to enter the gate of the Palace of Compassion and Peace, but now they are able to accompany the Empress Dowager every day, such an honor spreads to envy everyone.
"What did you say?" Xiao promised to look at the nanny in front of her in disbelief.She was stopped outside by the Empress Dowager, saying that she was not qualified to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager when she promised. She was obviously blind just now when she agreed to go in at the same level as her.
"Agreed to atone, this is what the Empress Dowager meant." Mammy said neither humble nor overbearing.
Xiao Xu's chest heaved, what did the Empress Dowager mean? According to her, it was clearly the Crown Princess who was obstructing it.She just made an opinion, and she was so jealous, she didn't have the bearing of a doctor at all.
It is not without reason why Xiao promised to trouble Pomegranate.It all started when the prince went to Pingyang for disaster relief.At that time, she happened to pass by Pingyang on business, and when she saw the prince smiling in the sun, she fell in love with him deeply.
She originally thought that with her family background and appearance, she would definitely be favored by the prince.Later, she ran into the prince again in the imperial garden, and she felt it was fate.How could she have thought that what she thought was a sure thing, would turn around and be accepted into the harem by the emperor.
Although she is also favored in the harem, but the prince is young, how does the emperor compare with the prince?
She didn't think it was the prince's fault, so she blamed everything on the allegedly jealous princess.
