It snowed at night, and the north wind seemed to be whizzing past my ears.

Yun Yao felt that it was not a bad feeling to have a human-shaped pillow hugging her to sleep, and this feeling would make people addicted.

The next day was the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, the day of the new year. This was also the last morning of Kangxi's 38th year. After today, Kangxi sealed the pen, and the ministers will also have a holiday, all waiting for the New Year.

Of course, it doesn't mean that political affairs are not handled during the holiday, it's just that they don't go to court. Courtiers still have to work in the Yamen, but the time will not be as strict as before.

There will be a family banquet on the New Year's Eve, so Li Xie simply didn't enter the palace in the morning, and in the middle of the afternoon, the two of them entered the palace together to attend the family banquet in the evening.

It was too late last night, and Li Xie didn't take the initiative to show up. If Kangxi wanted to know that he was back, it should be a few days later.

During the day, Li Xie learned about the affairs of Sibeile's residence. Li Chongzhou obeyed Yunyao's order and developed a lot of contacts in the dark. The court opened up more business rights and opened some shops following the trend. , the finances of Sibaile's mansion are more than income.

Around Shen Shi, there was movement in Babeile's mansion next door. Yinhu, Bafujin, and Ce Fujin led two daughters in a carriage and were about to enter the palace. The other four golden flowers were too small and their birth mother status was not enough, so they did not enter The qualifications of the palace to participate in the family banquet, but in this kind of weather, it is good news not to enter the palace.

Their carriage started slowly, and the Yimen door on the side of Sibeile Mansion also opened. Yunyao and Lixie were wrapped in thick winter clothes, and both wore capes of the same color. Lixie wore a hat on his head, and Yunyao was The head of the flag is full of pearl hairpins, and the bottom of the flowerpot is still on the feet. She is no shorter than Li Xie.

The coachman controlled the white horse to stop, and reminded his master in a low voice that Yinhu froze in the carriage, and Ba Fujin's eyes darkened. After a while, Yinhu still opened the curtain.

Li Xie and Yun Yao were about to get into the carriage, when they saw Yinhu, they had to say a few words of greeting, no matter what they were arguing about in private, if they met, they would always maintain the superficial peace.

Li Xie glanced at Yinhu, and landed on the child held in the arms of Fujin opposite him. Yinhu's eldest daughter is already ten months old. The little girl will be standing on Fujin's lap, her big eyes watering. Barking, his whole face was wrinkled together, and he kept burrowing into Fujin's arms, it was already cold enough without blowing wind, and it was even colder when blowing wind.

"Congratulations to my eighth brother for becoming Ama." Li Xie was serious, Yinhu's face froze, and he smiled and said, "Thank you, fourth brother."

Yinhu's mind turned quickly, recalling what he knew about Yongzheng's situation, it seemed that Yongzheng had no destiny for a daughter, and his only daughter died shortly after getting married. Raising, so he likes girls, right?Thinking of it this way, most of his heart was relieved.

No, the fourth brother quietly returned to Beijing again!

Babeile Mansion used three carriages, Yunyao and Li Xie used one, and four carriages drove on the street under the dark sky.

After entering the palace, Yunyao and Lixie went to Yonghe Palace, and Yinhu naturally led his wife and daughter to Changchun Palace, where Concubine Ning lived.

The Yonghe Palace is still very lively. Before Yunyao and Lixie entered the palace, they heard the loud commotion inside. It was the Fourteenth and Seventh Princesses arguing about something, mixed with Concubine De and Fifth Princess the sound of.

Li Xie frowned, and the corners of his mouth were slightly pursed. Unexpectedly, the memory of the previous fourth master appeared in his mind. Concubine De of Yonghe Palace, Fourteenth and the others are family members, and he will always be rejected.

Yun Yao glanced at him, Li Xie calmed down, and the two walked into the Yonghe Palace together, the bustle in the palace was like a movie whose pause button was pressed.

After about [-] breaths of silence, the Seventh Princess said loudly, "Fourth Brother, you are back!"

The fifth princess was rather shy, and blessed her body with a salute: "Fourth brother, fourth sister-in-law."

Concubine De has returned to normal now, Fourteen bowed her head to her fourth elder brother and fourth sister-in-law, and then stopped talking. The mother and son are very twisted.

Yun Yao and Li Xie bowed to Concubine De, Concubine De didn't make things difficult for them, and let them sit beside them, and everyone chatted one after another.

The fifth princess and the seventh princess didn't want the atmosphere to be too embarrassing, but the two sisters did their best to warm up the scene, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

The last time Concubine De asked Yun Yao to investigate several candidates for her son-in-law, Yun Yao compiled the information into a book and reported it to Concubine De after she had checked it out. After that, she did not ask the fifth princess to choose her son-in-law again.

Because there is not much time today, I will go to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to pay respects to the Queen Mother later, and then set off directly from the Palace of Compassion and Ning for the family banquet. The concubine immediately mentioned the marriage of the fifth princess.

Concubine De also spent half a year investigating the candidates on the list last time, until she confirmed that Yunyao did not deceive her, but the fifth princess's marriage could not wait any longer, and she would definitely make a decree in the next year.

Li Xie had already heard about it from Yunyao. When Concubine De mentioned this, he turned his head to look at the fifth princess, and said after a while: "If the fifth younger sister wants to get married, first of all, the fifth younger sister must start exercising now. The body is too thin to bear the responsibility of having children."

The face of the fifth princess turned pale in an instant, Concubine De's eyes widened, the seventh princess and Fourteen were dumbfounded, what did the fourth brother mean by this?

"Also, the Fifth Younger Sister has a special fate. She was originally Zaoyao's fate, but now that she has passed through the catastrophe, her life is going smoothly. But the fate of offspring is not deep. She can only give birth to one child. Whether it is a son or a daughter The identity of the forehead is determined. The forehead who is married to the fifth sister at the same time cannot have other women for life, let alone have other children, otherwise the forehead will bear the original fate of the fifth sister."

Yun Yao could see the fifth princess's face, but after Li Xie said these words, her face changed, it really changed as Li Xie said.

Li Xie really knows how to benefit the fifth princess, but I don't know how he did it. Yun Yao feels that Li Xie's ability seems to be recovering well.

The hall was quiet for a while, Concubine De's face was flushed with anger, and it took a long time before she sternly said: "It's just nonsense!"

The fifth princess was already on the verge of collapse, and the seventh princess supported her. The 13-year-old girl looked at the fourth brother angrily, and she also felt that the fourth brother was talking nonsense.

Li Xie shrugged: "Emiang doesn't believe it, why don't you ask some old monk or Taoist priest to have a look at Fifth Younger Sister's face and fate."

He turned his head and glanced at Seventh Princess again, deep in his eyes were dark clouds, this 13-year-old girl should have died young last year, but she survived, it was Yinhu's credit.

It should be what Yinhu did or said to her. As the darling of God in this world, everything Yinhu did and said could be adopted by God.However, although the seventh princess has survived the death calamity, as a princess, she will not have too many twists and turns in her life, but it is not the case in marriage. Her husband and wife are not so good. Yes, unless the princess herself is stupid.And the fate of children of the seventh princess is worse than that of the fifth princess, unless she starts to do good deeds from now on, maybe she can have a child in 20 years.

Li Xie took another deep look at Concubine De, the hands and feet of the high-ranking concubines in the harem were not clean, the sins committed by Concubine De were basically retribution on her children, so she gave birth to six children, There are only three grown-ups, and the others have reported to the underworld early.

Concubine De thought for a moment, got up and called Li Xie to the back to speak, there were only Yunyao, Fifth Princess, Seventh Princess, Fourteen or Fourteen people in the hall, Yunyao did not know how to comfort Fifth Princess, after thinking for a while, she whispered: "Five Sister, don't worry about your fourth brother's ability to pinch and count, he won't harm you. Your body is indeed a little thin, and you should exercise more in the future, this is harmless. "

The fifth princess had already forced herself to calm down, but she also listened carefully to Yun Yao's words.

"Also, the matter of marriage is actually good for you. You are a princess. Normally, your concubine cannot take concubines, but some men can't control their mouths. If you have this condition, you don't have to worry about it. On the one hand, it's a bit regrettable, but you can still have a child, no matter whether it's a son or a daughter, you will be a mother-in-law, so it's not really a pity."

About half a quarter of an hour later, Li Xie and Concubine De came out one after the other, Li Xie's expression remained unchanged, Concubine De's expression could not hide her sadness, her spirit seemed to collapse all of a sudden.

Li Xie didn't say anything, and told her the fate of the fifth princess and the seventh princess. Although the two survived, the future is not happy in the eyes of the world.

In this era when childbearing is a major responsibility, it is a sin not to have children, or to have fewer children, even if it is a princess, who calls her a woman!

It was getting late, Concubine De had no choice but to put the matter of her two daughters in her heart for the time being, and lead her children to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager.

The Queen Mother and others already knew about Li Xie's return to the capital. After all, half an hour had passed since he entered the palace, and the news in the palace spread very quickly.

But after a while, Kangxi sent the little eunuch to call Lixie away.Just now when he was told by Li Dequan that his fourth son had returned to Beijing, his face was so tangled up that it was like a burrito.

He should be angry, but he thought about it, even if he was angry, the fourth child would remain indifferent.In the past, he could still punish the fourth brother by threatening him with his guards, but now that the reputation of the wolf warrior has risen, the fourth brother's force value is extraordinary, and he will definitely not be able to please him, so let's not make fun of himself .

This is called one wrong step, wrong step by step, the war wolf is now a weapon, such an army was built by Lao Si, he can see their ability, if the war wolf is handed over to others, it is tantamount to destroying the war wolf Wolf, as a wise king, he can't do such a thing.

Facing Kangxi, Lixie was still the same. When Kangxi asked, he answered, and briefly told about what he had seen and heard along the way, but skipped the matter of meeting Fu Ming and Lu Fei in Guangzhou.

After a while, the king of Zhijun, the prince, and others all came, and of course the sons who had not opened the house later also came. Li Xie faced them as usual. It seemed that since Yinzhen was trapped by Li Xie last time, He has grown up, he seems to be quiet now, and he hasn't been tripped by Lixie in this year, so I don't know if he has changed his ways or is holding back a big move?

The family banquet was held at the Summer Palace next to the Imperial Garden. When Xushi was approaching, Kangxi led his sons to the Summer Palace. The Empress Dowager led the concubines and a group of grandchildren, great-grandsons, and great-granddaughters had already arrived.

As for the family banquet, it was naturally harmonious and beautiful, and it was enjoyable, no one mentioned irrelevant things at the family banquet, so naturally there was no embarrassment for Li Xie and Yunyao.

After coming out of the palace, it was already the time of Hai, the sky was thick with dark clouds and heavy snow was flying.

On the second day, at the right time, a young eunuch came to Sibeile Mansion. Kangxi summoned Li Xie to enter the palace, and the little eunuch asked him to go directly to Yonghe Palace.

Concubine De couldn't wait for a moment, she woke up today and went to Qianqing Palace to invite Kangxi, she didn't hide it, but told Kangxi exactly what Li Xie told her.

When Lixie entered the Yonghe Palace, he was greeted by Kangxi and Concubine De, and he saluted as usual.

Kangxi had contacts with eminent monks in some famous temples around the capital, and also exchanged scriptures with some real Taoist priests, but every monk and Taoist priest would not give him any fate, they counted the luck of the world.

At this moment, he wondered, "Fourth brother, when did you learn how to tell fortunes?"

Li Xie lazily said: "I have learned a thing or two from some wandering Taoist priests and monks outside. I am very talented. Those Taoist priests and monks are very sorry that I cannot become a monk."

Kangxi almost choked to death by the air, became a monk?Think beautifully!He remembered the folk saying that his emperor Ama Shunzhi became a monk, and his face suddenly turned blue and purple.

"Your Fifth and Seventh Sisters' fates are really that bad?" All distracting thoughts drifted away from his mind, Kangxi frowned and asked about the business.

Li Xie glanced at him, and said, "Yes, you old man will ask the old monks and Taoist priests of Xiangguo Temple to show the fifth and seventh younger sisters and you will know?"

These old monks and Taoist priests still have a few brushes, not nonsense.

It will be freezing cold, even if Kangxi wants to find the abbot of Xiangguo Temple, he will have to wait a few years.

Afterwards, Kangxi called Lixie away and went to the imperial study room to continue the unfinished conversation yesterday, talking about Lixie's ideas for military reform and what he saw and heard on the road.

The Man and Han ministers knew about Li Xie's return to the capital, but the timing was not right now, so they all waited until the next year when they officially went to court, and then they would bring up the matter about Sibeile and the Wolf Warriors.

Years later, when she returned to her natal home in the second day of junior high school, Li Xie accompanied Yun Yao back to Ulanala's house.As for the situation of their daughter and son-in-law, Fei Yanggu and Jue Luo could not do anything about it. They just hoped that another woman would never enter the Sibeile Mansion, otherwise their daughter's life would not be as easy as before.

From the third day to the seventh day of the junior high school, it was the time for the princes to come and go for banquets. The Four Baylor Mansion also had a banquet for a while.

After the seventh day of the lunar new year, the yamen began to work, but the court had not yet started.

During the two days of the ninth and tenth day of the lunar new year, Li Xie specially visited the Minister of the Ministry of Household and the Minister of the Ministry of War. He had a lot of conversations with the two ministers, and his back felt chills after hearing the Minister of the Ministry of Household and the Minister of the Ministry of War.

They also don't know how Sibeile knew their secrets, such as the fact that the Minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs hooked up with the widow of the subordinate who died. If this matter is exposed, the Minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs will completely lose face in front of all his subordinates , and will no longer gain the trust of subordinates.

The Minister of the Household Department and the Minister of the Ministry of War thought for a long time. They couldn't understand what the purpose of Si Baylor looking for them was!

After the courtiers knew about this, they looked at the probing eyes of the Minister of the Household Department and the Minister of the Ministry of War, which made the two ministers feel miserable.

Kangxi was a little curious about the purpose of the fourth son looking for the Secretary of the Household Department and the Minister of the Ministry of War, but he couldn't guess. The fourth son hadn't entered the palace recently, and he hadn't entered the palace since the first day of junior high school.

Soon it will be the Lantern Festival, and there will also be a Lantern Festival banquet in the palace, but the participants are limited to the clan and princes.The main hall of the Summer Palace is full of children running around. Yinhu's eldest daughter and second daughter can't walk yet, so they can only watch their brothers and sisters running around.

Accidentally, Yinqi's daughter bumped into Li Xie, Li Xie reached out and hugged the little girl. Compared with the year before, the little girl grew up a lot.

Li Xie stretched out his hand again, and took Yinxie's fifth daughter into his arms. The two little girls were about the same age, with buns on their heads, and little cheongsams. ).

Yin'e slapped Yin'e and Yinqi's hands suddenly, and her eyes signaled them to look in a certain direction.Yinfeng and Yinqi turned their heads to see this scene, and suddenly remembered the scene of the 37th Wanshou Festival. The two immediately put down their wine glasses, but they didn't dare to take their daughter back. Didn't they seem very narrow-minded?

The two of them just kept staring at Li Xie, knowing that for about a quarter of an hour, the two little girls happily left the fourth uncle/uncle and continued to play with their friends.

Li Xie is secretly proud of himself, trying to scare you all!

The next day, Kangxi's first court meeting in 39 years, Li Xie left the capital at dawn and went to the camp in the southern suburbs. Not long after he arrived, all the members of the Wolf Warriors returned one by one.

After staying in Daying in the southern suburbs for about five days, when the weather began to warm up, Lixie took half a day to go back to Beijing. He asked Kangxi for a decree. He wanted to live in Guangzhou and other coastal areas. He said that fighting Japanese pirates meant fighting Japanese pirates.

After Kangxi inquired about his plan carefully, he gave him the right to act cheaply. Anyway, even if he didn't give it, the military generals along the coast would not dare to oppose him.

At the same time, Kangxi probably understood why Li Xie went to the Minister of the Ministry of War and the Minister of the Ministry of Households, and he was really thoughtful.

By the time the ministers of the DPRK and China came to their senses, Li Xie had already taken the members of the Wolf Warriors team south to Guangzhou, this time by boat, if they encountered pirates or Japanese pirates at sea, they would naturally not let them go.

At the same time, Yunyao is also starting to pack her luggage and start dealing with the affairs of Sibeile's residence. Soon, she will follow her south, and even if she returns to Beijing in the future, she will not stay permanently.

In two months, after Li Xie and the Wolf Warriors team arrived in Guangzhou, everyone in the Wolf Warriors team received a mission. Each of them had to train a 500-man navy.

This time, Li Xie met Fu Ming and Lu Fei openly and aboveboard, and also met the 1000 soldiers that Fu Ming and Lu Fei had recruited. After nearly two years of training, they were considered excellent soldiers.

These 1000 people were already questioning in their hearts, what are they going to do in the future?Could it be that he was tricked into joining an organization that opposes the Qing Dynasty and restores the Ming Dynasty?The appearance of Hui Lixie made them feel excited suddenly. It turned out that their master was Sibeile, and they no longer had to worry about being arrested by the court as a traitor one day.

These 1000 people were directly integrated into the navy by Lixie, and their 1000 people were just divided into five ships, with 200 people in each ship.

Of course, these 1000 people will be gradually eliminated by Lixie in the next two months, and part of the kicked out will be made up from various government soldiers. At the same time, this 1000-person team is named the Lihuo team.

In two months, Lixie formed a naval force of 10 people, but apart from the Wolf Warriors and Lihuo, the other members were of different levels.

On March [-]th, Kangxi's birthday, Lixie returned to Beijing from Guangzhou ten days earlier.

At this time, Yunyao has already integrated the affairs of the entire Sibeile Mansion. The affairs of each village have found a manager, and each store has also found a manager, except that they will have a very high salary every month. In addition, all the proceeds were handed over to another person, and someone sent the money to Guangzhou.

Li Chongzhou is going to Guangzhou with Yunyao. As a housekeeper, he has a big task in the future.

Regarding Li Xie's return to Beijing, especially the one who came back specially to celebrate his birthday, Kangxi was in a very good mood. The fourth son did not return to Beijing to participate in the Longevity Festival last year.

Kangxi is 47 years old, not a whole birthday, so the Wanshou Festival will be held the same as last year.

Kangxi would not stop his son from taking his daughter-in-law to Guangzhou, but he suddenly remembered that his fourth son had no children yet.He mentioned that he had forgotten to give his fourth son a woman, but Li Xie flatly rejected him, saying that he would not support idlers.

Kangxi looked at him speechless, and then thought that the fourth son was not too old, so he was not in a hurry to have an heir, but he still told Lixie solemnly that he would give them five years as a husband and wife, if Ulanara hadn't given birth yet child, then he has to accept other women, and his son can't live without an offspring!

Li Xie didn't nod or shake his head. Seeing that he didn't speak, Kangxi assumed that he agreed.Then he mentioned the matter of the fifth princess and the seventh princess. After the beginning of spring, he asked the abbot of Xiangguo Temple and the master of Wuxu temple to enter the palace, and personally met the fifth and seventh princesses.Originally, the abbot of Xiangguo Temple and the master of Wuxu Temple had spoken beforehand, and they would not tell fortunes and futures for the royal children. After seeing the fifth and seventh princesses, the master of the Wuxu Temple agreed to watch their fortunes.

However, the old monk and the old Taoist were not as accurate as Li Xie divination, but the changes in the fate of the fifth princess and the seventh princess were also calculated. As for the marriage, they did not calculate it.For the variables such as the fifth princess and the seventh princess, sometimes fate is better than marriage. Perhaps at the moment they count, the marriage of the fifth princess and the seventh princess has not arrived due to the change of fate. These are very ethereal and illusory Yes, even old monks and Taoist priests are not sure.

On March [-]th, Li Xie and Yunyao led a group of men and servants to take a merchant ship at the Beijing Wharf, and then transfer to a sea ship at the Tianjin Wharf. They did not stop on the way and went directly to Guangzhou. Yes, I cleaned it up by the way.
