The daily strike of the favored concubine [qing]

No matter how many moves Mingzhu's faction planned, in front of the Empress Dowager, no one dared to take action.

The old ancestor here is like a needle that stabilizes the sea. Even if they are eager to win over the Cao family and get in touch with the Wang family who is under house arrest by the eldest lady, they have no choice but to hold back.

Before long, the shocking news that the old lady was fined to kneel spread throughout Zhizao Mansion, and the Cao family was in chaos in an instant. It was useless even if Cao Xi tried to support his sick body to beg the emperor for mercy.

In fact, those accompanying officials were all shocked.

Except for Tu Yue, who was full of joy, and Ma Qi, who was just waiting to watch the show, most of those who had a bias in their hearts frowned, thinking about the impact of this matter.

It's too abrupt.

It's just a gift of beauties, why did the Cao family show signs of decline?

Long live God ordered Cao Yin to take a concubine in order to vent his anger on Concubine Yi, which is understandable to them.But what was the reaction of the Empress Dowager?

Just when they were puzzled, a well-informed person whispered: "The woman whose feet are bound by Mrs. Wang is a Han woman..."

At this moment, everyone suddenly fell silent.

According to the rules of the ancestors in the past, Han women were not allowed to be included in the harem. In addition, the ancestors hated those weak women, so it was reasonable to take action to punish the female relatives.

"A well-behaved family has been disturbed by an ignorant woman." Someone sighed.

"No, it's Li Xu's idea..."

As the chief manager of Changchun Garden, Li Xu was not in the entourage. When he said this, the officials all looked at each other in blank dismay.

Well, isn't this hurting his sister?

……

No matter how regretful Patriarch Cao Xi was, it was too late at this time.

A few days later, an edict was sent to the capital, and Li Xu dismissed his position as the manager of Changchun Garden, and transferred to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to become a moderate official. .

You know, within two or three years at the most, Li Xu will be sent to Suzhou to take over the position of Suzhou Weaving.Now that such a thing came out, how many years would he have to endure?

The officials were overwhelmed, but no one dared to intercede for him when the Empress Dowager spoke in person.

You said that Li Xu is Long Live's confidant?Cao Yin's uncle?

Long live has many confidantes, and he is not missing one.Cao Yin himself suffered a lot, saying that there are blessings and hardships, and Li Xuhe should bear it!

During this southern tour, the Cao family's money is still there, still serving as the eyes and ears of Long Live, but the backyard of the house is in chaos.

When the holy car set off to return to Beijing, Mingzhu arranged it quietly, and gave Wang some "help", which made the already muddy backyard even more muddy, and sent a letter to Cao Xi, who seemed to be dozens of years old.

As for what was written in the letter, no one knows.

Yunxiu didn't care how chaotic the Cao family was and what Mingzhu was planning.

The method of drawing salary from the bottom of the pot has been decided early, who cares how the grasshopper jumps after the autumn?

If the Cao family changed their minds and turned to Mingzhu, the emperor would deal with them without her help.

She looked down at her flat belly, her eyes were soft, and she slowly smiled.

Is it Erniang's Yinhu, or the new little princess?

Shengjia stayed in Jiangning for about two months.After the imperial concubine's fetal image was stable, the imperial physician repeatedly assured that the temporary bumps would be fine. Kangxi waved his hand, and on the return journey, he went up the waterway and transferred to Yangzhou.

On that side, Suo'etu had already regained his strength and summoned the old department to fight with Mingzhu in full swing.After the emperor came to court, he watched with cold eyes and added fire from time to time. Liang Jiugong saw it in his eyes and was shocked in his heart

This, this is flattery.

Long live God seems impatient!

But the powerful minister was in the middle of the game, and he couldn't get out of the deep whirlpool.

Needless to say, Mingzhu's power is in the court; Suo'etu is angry at the prince's closeness with Yunxiu. He originally wanted to make a move, but before he could take any action, he became a pawn of the emperor.

He lost his status as a minister, lost the right to enter and leave Yuqing Palace, and never got to see the crown prince who had returned from the southern tour.

The conflict between the two factions deepened day by day. Due to the emperor's deliberate push, the focus shifted from the battle between the prince and the elder brother to the hatred between the two powerful officials, Mingzhu and Suo'etu, which never ceased.

He was impeached yesterday for corruption, and today he was impeached for malfeasance... The attacks from the two factions have also become more intense.

Because of the fight with Mingzhu, Suo'etu couldn't get away for a while, so he had to order the concubine Ping in the palace to separate the prince and concubine Yi, no matter it was a sinister method or not.

Concubine Ping was just recovering from a serious illness, and for some reason offended Concubine Wen Gui who was in charge of the palace power.

With the first time, there is no second time.Ever since Yinqi fell into the water, Yunxiu had people closely monitoring the Chuxiu Palace, and Pingfei's tricks were exhausted, but it was nothing but a bamboo basket to fetch water.

Even if she was jealous that Yunxiu was pregnant again, she could only watch elder brother eleven croak to the ground, and watch the emperor be ecstatic, bestowing the name Yinqi on the younger elder brother, and hugging her tightly.

Eleventh brother was born on the eve of the 24th year of Kangxi.

This child is good-looking, not inferior to his ninth brother, Shui Lingling's eyes blinked, and his heart melted just by looking at him.

Yinxu, a baby who didn't understand anything, quickly replaced his second and fifth brothers in the Empress Dowager's heart, and quickly became the heart of the current Holy Majesty.

In the 26th year of Kangxi, at the age of sixteen, the eldest elder brother who had already been in charge of the government received the imperial decree to marry Yiergenjueluo, the daughter of the Minister of the Household Department, as the next Fujin. The next year, Dafujin gave birth to Xiao Gege, who was The emperor's first grandchild.

In the 27th year of Kangxi, the evidence of Mingzhu's subordinates' corruption, accepting bribes, and selling officials and nobles was presented to the imperial table, and the Nala family collapsed as if the building was about to collapse.

Mingzhu followed in the footsteps of Suo'etu, dismissed from office, and stayed at home. At the same time, his party member and Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, Kerkun, lost his black hat and could never recover.

At the end of 27, the empress dowager, who was already 76 years old, occasionally caught a cold and couldn't afford it. The emperor hugged concubine Yigui and cried bitterly. keep.

In the 28th year of Kangxi, early autumn, Changchun Garden.

"Old Ancestor, I drank the medicine. The emperor said, after the court meeting, I will bring my elder brothers to see you." The heavily covered brocade tent was lifted, and the bitter but refreshing medicine smell filled the air. Lagu Su Ma held the jade bowl, Footsteps entered the room lightly.

After a while, the empress dowager's voice was heard, but she was old and smiling, as if hearing the word 'elder brother', her energy was not normal.

He took a breath: "Don't leave Yinxuan..."

"Who knows, Elder Brother Eleven is what you miss the most. Elder Brother Eleven is filial, so you can rest assured." Aunt Su Ma coaxed, "It's just that, don't let the crown prince hear... "

The Empress Dowager became obviously happy, and said happily, "Okay, okay."

The master and servant talked again, vaguely using words such as "Yinti" and "Fujin". Gradually, the tent became quiet, replaced by the rustling sound of drinking medicine.

After a while, Aunt Su Ma lifted the curtain and came out, her eyes stopped on the woman in light blue flag dress sitting in front of the hall, with a smile on her face: "Fujin, the old ancestor rested, and asked the old slave to send Fujin out of the garden. If you are pregnant, you should be more careful."

Hearing this, Dafujin Ergenjue Luo Shi pursed his lips and smiled gently, helped his waist up and stood up, showing a slightly bulging belly: "Thank you for your understanding, old ancestor, please trouble Su Ma."

She has a delicate and handsome appearance, with a simple headgear in her hair, which is comfortable and natural.She is not a top-notch beauty, but she has a calm demeanor that anyone who sees her will praise her.

Dafujin was born in the Yiergenjueluo family, one of the eight major surnames, and the daughter of the former household secretary Kerkun.Ke Erkun is the mainstay of Mingzhu faction, but at the end of last year, Suo'etu exposed Mingzhu's "eight deadly crimes", among them crimes of participating in cliques, selling officials and lords, and so on.

The emperor was furious and ordered the censor to investigate strictly, and the team of Ming Zhongtang fell apart in an instant.As Mingzhu's confidant, Kerkun was dismissed from his post and is currently at home, occasionally needing help from Dafujin in the palace.

With the respect and love of the elder brother Yinti, the eldest granddaughter who gave birth to Da Gege is the emperor's granddaughter, and now she is pregnant again, her waist is not unreasonably straight.Even though the mother clan was implicated and the glory was no longer there, as the eldest daughter-in-law praised by Kangxi, Da Fujin's status was not shaken in the slightest, on the contrary, the empress dowager and the elders felt a little more pity.

Aunt Su Ma sent her to the waiting sedan chair, told the palace man who carried the sedan chair a few words, and then said gently: "Da Gege's first birthday ceremony will be next month, right? The old slave has prepared some things for fun, and I can So as to add a ring to Gege, and get lucky along the way."

"How did this happen!" Da Fujin smiled sincerely, and declined a few words, "Su Ma has worked hard and made great achievements, and won the trust of our ancestors. We are big and small, and if we want to get involved, it is because of your blessing."

Ever since the Empress Dowager became ill, Dafujin worked tirelessly and went to Changchun Garden to serve her every day.Now that she is pregnant again, she can no longer serve her, but she has not stopped paying her respects. Aunt Su Ma clearly sees all of this.

Escorting Ergen Jueluo into the sedan chair, she thought for a while, then asked the little maid at the side in a low voice: "Da Fujin is pregnant, will Concubine Hui take Da Gege to take care of her?"

"This... slaves have never heard of it."

Aunt Su Ma sighed: "But at the age of seventeen or eighteen years old, I have to manage the middle class and serve my mother-in-law. The burden on my body is really heavy."

Concubine Hui has such a temperament again, not to mention a flowery little girl, she can't bear it even if she is beaten by iron.

I only hope that elder brother can take good care of his daughter-in-law, and don't let her be wronged...

The sedan chair entered the Forbidden City and headed steadily towards the Yanxi Palace.

Seeing the familiar cornices from a distance, Da Fujin stroked his stomach, and the curve of his mouth softened a little.

Entering the hall after a while, she raised a warm smile and saluted meticulously: "My daughter-in-law greets my mother."

Seeing her like this, Concubine Hui showed a satisfied smile, and then quickly disappeared: "Get up, get up. You are all twins, why do you want to greet me when you enter the palace? Don't neglect my grandson!"

"Emiang, etiquette cannot be broken. If we let our master know, a reprimand is inevitable..." Da Fujin paused after hearing the words, and immediately helped Concubine Hui's hand, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law walked around the corridor, "My daughter-in-law also Sorry."

Patting her daughter-in-law's hand with emotion, Concubine Hui's smile deepened, she felt comfortable all over, and looked at Da Fujin with kindness in her eyes.

"I went to Changchun Garden today, what did the Empress Dowager say?"

"Returning to Erniang's words, the old ancestor was very tired today, and he didn't meet his daughter-in-law, so he took a rest after taking medicine." Da Fujin lowered his eyes, concealing the conversation between the crown prince and the eleventh elder brother, and continued, "Take a rest Before, I asked our master a few words and asked Su Ma to send me out of the garden."

Repeating Lagu Su Ma's words in a low voice, Concubine Hui's eyes lit up, and she smiled from ear to ear: "Big princess of this palace is really likable."

I don't know how long I have been looking forward to the emperor's eldest grandson, but the daughter-in-law gave birth to the first child, Concubine Hui didn't say anything, but she still felt a little uncomfortable.But what followed were surprise rewards, Qianqing Palace, Mercy Ning Palace, Ningshou Palace... The rewards entered my elder brother's house like flowing water, and immediately wiped out her complaints, and also paid attention to Bai Nennen's granddaughter. Sincerely love each other.

When Da Fujin became pregnant again, half of this love was transferred to the child in her womb - the eldest grandson of the emperor identified by Concubine Hui.

But Da Fujin said that such expectations really made her breathless.

It's also fortunate... After leaving the Palace of Yanxi Palace, and living with my father behind closed doors, I don't have to look at other people's eyes.

"The ancestors like children. If you have time, please bring Da Gege to pay your respects. Child care is the most important thing. For the rest of the affairs, you should let them go and catch them..." After being happy, Hui The concubine took Da Fujin's hand and urged, "If you really have no skills to separate yourself, apart from serving Yinti, the Wu family and the Guan family are all responsible and can help you."

Wu family, Guan family?

Da Fujin sneered in his heart, unable to tell what it was like.

It's nothing more than two concubines, not even Princess, and they want to separate powers, what kind of spring and autumn dreams are they?

He wanted his master to marry Fang Fujin but failed, so he was distracted by his concubine, and he didn't mind lowering his style.

Also, bring Da Gege to greet the ancestors.Doesn't she want to?

But firstly, the sickness was very serious, and she really didn't have the energy to take care of it; secondly, the child was still young, and the ancestors personally said, "I'm afraid that I will give the child the sickness, it's enough if you have this heart"...

Da Fujin lowered his eyes slightly, and agreed docilely, with no fault in his attitude, but at this moment, based on intuition alone, Concubine Hui guessed that she must be unwilling.

That's right, if Yinti can be caught to death, even if Ergen feels that Luoshi is pregnant, he won't go to the concubine's place!Such a Fujin, how could he be willing to hand over the power in his hands?

Her daughter-in-law is good everywhere, she is filial and considerate, and she can have a good life, but she is jealous and jealous, and it is useless to persuade her every time.

And her mother's family...

Thinking like this, Concubine Hui still had a smile on her face, and slowly let go of Da Fujin's hand, and then said a few words of concern, showing a tired look: "I'm tired, please step back."

As soon as Da Fujin left Yanxi Palace, his smile disappeared without a trace.

Seeing that it was still early, she closed her eyes, let out a breath, walked towards the nearby imperial garden with her waist supported.

After walking a few steps, I heard the little eunuch's terrified cry from afar, which was very familiar: "Master, Lord! Stop climbing, if you let the imperial concubine see you, this slave will be hit by a board and die!"

"Go, let's go." Brother Jiu, who was shaking his legs on the rockery, raised his eyelids, and before speaking, Brother Ten, who was squatting in the grass to catch grasshoppers, waved his hands in disgust, "Shut up, you are very noisy."

"Master Shi, you can do a good job and persuade our master to be sympathetic to the servant." The little dog wanted to cry without tears, "It's okay to be skinned by the imperial concubine, but how will the servant explain to the long live Lord?"

Hearing this, Yinzhen's face changed slightly, and the speed of shaking her legs slowed down.

Yin'e took a look, and immediately yelled: "Ninth brother, what are you afraid of? The world has changed, and Xiao Shishi is the old man's heart, how can he have time to take care of you?"

"..." Yinzhen thought for a moment, that's right, with the eleventh brother here, the old man has no time to take care of him.

So he continued to shake with peace of mind, and in order to show off his skills, he deliberately changed into a difficult posture, which caused Yin'er to let out a "wow", rubbed his hands together, and looked eager to try.

"Brother Jiu, wait for me, brother will come up soon!"

The rockery was built like an attic, with craggy rocks and steep slopes. Just looking at it made me feel timid. Now, let alone a puppy, even the little stool serving Elder Brother Ten almost fainted.

"Hurry up, go to the Qianqing Gate to see if His Highness the Crown Prince has returned to the palace..." Little Gouzi didn't finish his sentence, and the little eunuch who was guarding the side gate of the Imperial Garden to inform the two brothers rushed over, "Nine Lord, Master Shi, someone is coming from the Imperial Garden, and the slave faintly heard the elder brother talking to someone, saying that Da Fujin is here to enjoy the flowers!"

Yinzhen's foot slipped, and immediately, the servants gasped one after another.

After finally steadying her body, Yinzhen said in distaste: "After so many years, the boss still hasn't improved. Whenever the sister-in-law is in a bad mood, she will come to the imperial garden to relax. What flowers are there to enjoy? Why don't you give him a brain!"

At this time, Da Fujin had already come close.

She hadn't had time to be frightened and wanted to urge the ninth and tenth brothers to come down, when she heard these words from the bottom of her heart.

The six-year-old child actually understands her better than her husband!

For a moment, sorrow and joy were intermingled, and the feeling in her heart was unspeakable. Her eyes turned red, and she choked up and said: "Ninth brother."
