Yongzheng period

Seeing this, Baochai felt that she was useless even more, and said, "Why don't you go out and do some work, and ask Wen Xing to come in and serve you."

"...Yes, I will go down now, servant girl." Ying'er hurriedly wiped away her tears and ran out.

Unexpectedly, Yinger ran all the way out, and bumped into the fourth elder brother again at the corner, Yinger hurriedly said, "...greetings to the fourth elder brother, the servant is rude..."

Seeing the redness and swelling around her eye sockets, Hongli secretly felt that it was a good opportunity to talk, so he said distressedly, "Why are you crying like this? Who bullied you?"

"No...no one bullies the servants..." Ying'er wiped her face with her sleeve indiscriminately, her eyes dodging in a dilemma.

Hongli sighed, and said softly, "I don't mean anything else... It's just that my biological mother was just a palace maid in a coat... When I was a child, I have seen everything. Seeing you like this, I probably got scolded by the master. Right? It will be better if you say it, and I will feel at ease... Yinger?"

Ying'er stared blankly at the sad and worried expression on the face of the fourth elder brother, with a complex state of fear and gratitude in her heart, she nodded in a sudden accident.

Changchun Palace

"This year's showgirls are very good," Daiyu flipped through the brochure in her hand, and said half-sourly, "For example, the girl from the Shen family who is the co-leader of Jeju, I heard that she is very virtuous and stable. In two months, newcomers will be drafted into the palace." It's time for the emperor to get busy again, right?"

"Cough!" Yongzheng felt embarrassed, and said awkwardly, "The rules of this draft are handed down from the ancestors, and they have existed in all dynasties. It is not only for the emperor to enrich the harem, but also to choose virtuous and noble women for the clan and royal children. Marriage." Seeing Daiyu squinting at him and refusing to speak, Yongzheng knew that what he said was wrong, so he hurriedly coaxed her, "No matter who enters, no one can surpass you, my heart They are all hanging in your palace, so don’t dare to use them elsewhere.”

"There are lonely ancient palaces, and the palace flowers are lonely and red; the white-headed palace maids are here, sitting and talking about Xuanzong." Daiyu suddenly said sadly, "There are often newcomers in the palace, and there is no shortage of delicate flowers and beautiful faces in front of people, but who remembers those What about the man with the withered hair?"

She shouldn't have said these words, and Yongzheng was even more uncomfortable hearing them. He pondered for a while, and suddenly said, "How about I tell you a story?"

Daiyu was annoyed at the slip of the tongue, seeing that he changed the subject, she was very cooperative and said, "I would like to hear more about it."

"Once upon a time in the State of Qi, there was a timid and somewhat nervous person. He often thought of some strange questions, which made people feel inexplicable. One day, after dinner, he took a big cattail fan and sat In front of the door to enjoy the shade, and said to himself: "If one day, the sky falls, what should we do?Wouldn't we have no way to escape, and we would be crushed to death alive, wouldn't that be too unfair? "

Daiyu just listened to the beginning and said with a smile, "This is the saying in "Liezi Tianrui": "People in the country of Qi are worried about the collapse of the world; they are sent by death; those who waste sleep and food." This is left by the ancestors. Where is the emperor? s story?"

Unexpectedly, Yongzheng put on a straight face, pretending to be serious, "I am your master now, teaching you this incompetent student—how can any student disobey the teacher's words? It can be seen that he is not easy to discipline."

After speaking, he still made those sour appearances, pretending to stroke his non-existent long beard. '

Daiyu was also quite amused, she actually stayed in the bed and saluted, with a shame on her face, "Students are ashamed, they are taught by the teacher."

The two had a lot of fun playing 'role-playing', and Yongzheng held his hand to smile, and continued, "From now on, he has been worrying and worrying about this problem almost every day. My friends are worried about him when they see him in a trance all day long, with a haggard face, but, When everyone knew the reason, they all ran to persuade him, saying, "My brother!Why should you bother yourself about this?How could the sky fall down?Besides, even if it really collapses, it can't be solved by worrying and worrying alone. Think about it! "However, no matter what people say, he doesn't believe it, and still often worries about this unnecessary problem."

Daiyu was thoughtful, and Yongzheng said in a deep voice, "In my opinion, the ancients said, 'Don't forget your original intention' is very good, otherwise, like that ignorant person, you will suddenly have a whim and stick to your own stubbornness. Thinking hard day and night, but never seeing any changes in the world, any strange changes in all things, and in the end it hurts the mind and body, which is unnecessary."

Seeing that Daiyu understood what she meant, with a thin red face, Yongzheng said in a gentle voice, "The sentences in good poems are always full of emotion and emotion, which makes people feel sympathetic when they read: I have also read 'Nalan Ci ', the words are really lingering, and the heart is full of sadness." After that, he whispered, "'Every family is competing to sing the song of drinking water, how many people know what Nalan is thinking'? But if you are really immersed in it, you will be sad and troubled by it every day, but you are an idiot , Fool."

Daiyu turned her head away and said, "The concubine is just feeling emotional for a while, but the emperor has a lot of fallacies waiting."

Yongzheng said with a smile, "If you want to study, history books are very good. In your spare time, such as "Taiping Guangji" can also kill time."

Daiyu smiled, "Did the emperor treat his concubine as a man?"

"Didn't Lin Qing's family raise you as a boy since childhood?" Yongzheng didn't know what to think of, his expression flickered, he looked Daiyu up and down, and said narrowly, "If Yu'er is dressed as a man, it must be 'for example. Zhilan Yushu, I want it to be born in the courtyard. In ancient times, there were Longyang Lord Dong Jun and his ilk. If Yu’er is a man, what’s the point of being the king of Wei’anli once?”

"You..." Daiyu has never heard such words, and whispered, "Hey, tell me anything that is not serious?"

Yongzheng laughed 'haha', and when Daiyu was about to change his face, he said sternly, "Ahem, having said that, this year's show girls still have to select the fourth candidate for the side Fujin, and the fifth child has also reached the age of Ci Gege ——Concubine Duan Gui and Concubine Yu have come to discuss with you?"

When it came to business, Daiyu was diverted from pursuing his "bold" words just now, and said with a frown, "Sister Yufei never came to ask anything, she just said but according to the emperor's decision, sister Duan fell in love with Fucha's family." daughter of..."

"Oh?" Yongzheng raised his interest and asked intently, "Which girl from the Fucha family?"

"It's the daughter of Zuo Ling Weng Guotu." Daiyu said, "And in this draft, the Fucha family has three daughters as candidates, one is this Fucha Zhuying, and the other is E Zhe, the minister of Sanzhi. Fucha Yixin, the daughter of Chahar, and Fucha Langhua, the daughter of Mr. Li Rongbao, the chief executive of Chahar." Daiyu paused at this point, then continued, "Mrs. Fucha handed over the sign a few days ago. The reason why I came to visit my concubine is precisely because of Fucha Langhua's marriage."

Yongzheng heard the words and knew that Fucha Langhua was already this year. She was at the right age in the last draft, but Yongzheng didn't let her enter the palace, and it is unlikely that Fucha's family would marry her to whomever she wanted. whom to marry.Fucha Langhua's family background and character are all considered as the royal heir to Fujin. This year, only the fourth and fifth princes are old enough. There are many rumors surrounding the Fucha family, but the fourth prince has the Qi family With the support of the whole family, the fifth elder brother is useless, and the Fucha family is in a hurry.

"It's just that her marriage is really troublesome." Yongzheng lazily leaned halfway on the Ruyi cushion, with one arm around Daiyu's waist, and said distressedly, "The Fucha family was born in Manchuria with a yellow flag, and my grandfather Mi Sihan was in the Kangxi period. The minister of state affairs, who has been the Minister of the Household Department for 7 years, is in charge of the country's financial power, and once strongly supported Huang Ama's policy of withdrawing the vassal, and was highly regarded by Huang Ama."

"Her father, Li Rongbao, is Mi Sihan's fourth son, and his uncle is Ma Qi." Yongzheng said, "Ma Qi has been in charge of three dynasties, over the age of [-], expressing his loyalty, respect and maturity, leader of the Banlian, and has a long-standing reputation. There has never been such a long time in the court. Another uncle, Ma Wu, served as the governor of the capital and the minister of the guards. people"."

"The concubine also heard from her father," Daiyu said thoughtfully, "it was a common saying at the time: "After Ming (Mingzhu) and Suo (Suo'etu) were defeated, Gong (Ma Qi) and his younger brother Taiwei Gongwu (Ma Wu), the weight is momentary, there is a saying that 'two horses eat all the grass in the world'. "

Fucha Langhua's family background is not limited to the prince's descendant Fujin?She also deserves to be a queen, no wonder everyone is concerned about her marriage, if Yongzheng marry her to some prince this time, wouldn't she be the one who is destined to become a great treasure?It's just that Daiyu secretly fussed that Yongzheng never thought of marrying Fucha Langhua to any son, otherwise she wouldn't be so hesitant.

Then he heard Yongzheng say, "I am a little bit interested in Hongtun, the third son of the thirteenth brother, and I intend to give him the rank of Dorobele-this is also worthy of the family background of the Fucha family. was born."

"The concubine thinks it's inappropriate..." Daiyu frowned and hesitated, "This matter involves a dispute between the princes, the concubine shouldn't talk too much... But the concubine knows that the emperor and Prince Yi have a deep brotherly relationship, so the emperor will give it to you." It is a great honor for Prince Yi, if the Fucha family is married to his descendants again, regardless of other people's suspicions, Prince Yu Yi himself may be a big burden."

"What Yu'er said is very true," Yongzheng said in awe, "Thirteenth brother has a chivalrous and courageous temperament, but it is I who arrested him."

Daiyu refused to interrupt again, and after a while, Yongzheng came back to his senses, and when Daiyu was not paying attention, he grabbed his long arm and fell into her arms.

"Your Majesty—?!" Daiyu laughed angrily, and pushed back with her hands. How could she win Yongzheng with her little strength?Yongzheng simply lowered his body, rubbed back and forth on the neck like a big cat, and whispered in her ear, "It will be two years...Give Xiaojiu another brother...?"

Daiyu's earlobes were instantly stained with a thin layer of rouge.
