Chapter 284 Celebrating New Years Eve in the Palace
A woman who is pampered by a man is full of confidence!
In front of Cao Yi, every order given by Cao Chun was carried out quickly and well by the servants.
There was no other way. Before the mistress could officially consummate her marriage to Yuzhu, she sold off the accompanying housekeepers and servants for nothing.
After Cao Chun killed the chicken with a knife, the servants of the Qing Mansion were all very frightened, fearing that the whole family would be sold to the Minister's Mansion.
Leaving the house?
Are you kidding me? Every one of the servants in the Qing Mansion would think about leaving the mansion only if their brains are in trouble.
Those poor people outside will sell their children and daughters to survive once they encounter a famine or disaster.
Not to mention the jade pillar, he was the head of the Qing Mansion and the left minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs at that time.
Based on this alone, anyone who wants to go out will definitely be stabbed in the spine and scolded half to death by the whole family.
Cao Yi is the head mistress of the county prince's palace, so she can naturally see that Cao Chun's words are indeed effective.
Are the servants just perfunctory to the mistress, or are they going about their errands seriously? Who can still clearly see the real person in power?
"Sister, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, let's pass the sign to the palace to pay homage to the Queen Mother?" Cao Yi asked Cao Chun tentatively.
Cao Chun smiled lightly and said, "Sister, little sister, I'm kneeling in the back row."
This is a bit cryptic.
However, Cao Yi understood it as soon as he heard it.
What Cao Chun meant was that during the Spring Festival, when they went to the palace to pay homage, women who were born outside the palace would enter the Cining Palace in batches according to their rank to pay homage to the Empress Dowager.
According to the usual practice, the iron-hatted prince and the direct descendants of the county prince are always the first to enter the palace to congratulate them. The second place is the direct descendants of the prince's brothers.
After the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, from Shunzhi to Kangxi, it continued to weaken the power of the Manchurian military elites.
However, the power of the Manchurian military elites is still extremely large. At present, this large group of Manchurian powerful people are gathered around Lao Ba.
In the temple, strength has always been important.
By the late Qing Dynasty, the so-called iron-hatted princes had become synonymous with being left to die and had no authority at all.
Just when Cao Yi was about to speak, Cao Chun said: "Besides, little sister, I have to go to meet the noble master of Jingren Palace. Hehe, she is our father-in-law's uncle."
Cao Yi was speechless for a moment.
Cao Chun was not wrong at all. Although Yuzhu was the third and eighth brother of the Tong family, Qingtai was also the eighth brother of Concubine Tong.
No matter from Longkodo's side or from Qingtai's side, Little Concubine Tong is Yuzhu's serious aunt.
Cao Yi looked deeply at Cao Chun, alas, he was deceived by this girl after all.
When she was in the Cao family, Cao Yi was truly a proud daughter of heaven and could control the wind and rain in the Cao family's backyard.
As for Cao Chun, he was just a little transparent. Not only was he deprived of food and clothing, but also, out of his monthly salary of twelve taels, he only really received two taels.
Her little private money was all put into the pockets of the evil-hearted deceitful servants.
Cao Chun is also a powerful and ruthless character. She was obviously bullied, but she still endured it.
It wasn't until after marrying Yuzhu that Cao Chun took advantage of the man's support and took action. Hehe, Cao Chun became famous in one battle and completely cleared away all the obstacles around him.
Nowadays, Cao Chun has all the servants of Qing Palace looking at him sideways and they will never dare to provoke him easily.
"Sister, our master said that King Nejun has been looking at him through the crack in the door. Oh, please forgive my little sister for speaking bluntly. The two of us interact too much, and I'm afraid King Nejun will be unhappy." Cao Chun said this.
, then stood up, knelt down and saluted, and then walked lightly out of the palace door.
Cao Yi vomited to the point of vomiting blood, and his neck turned red with anger.
I think back then, Cao Chun was like a good quail, not daring to express his anger in front of Cao Yi.
It's good now, Cao Chun has Yuzhu's backing, and he dares to show his face to Cao Yi!
"Sister, don't regret it?" Cao Yi felt anxious and used the old tricks against Cao Chun.
Cao Chun didn't even turn his head and said directly: "Sister, don't worry, little sister, even if I hold a broken bowl to beg for rice, I will not pass by the palace of Prince Pingjun."
Oops, that was so arrogant, it made Cao Yi so angry that he was shaking all over!
Cao Chun just left so casually, not caring about Cao Yi's feelings at all!
After Cao Chun walked away, Cao Yi thought about it carefully and gritted her teeth. She had actually been tricked by Cao Chun!
Cao Chun deliberately made trouble and fell out with one purpose. From now on, he had no connection with the Heping County Prince's Palace, and they would never have any contact with each other until death!
The benefits of doing this are actually very obvious. From now on, Yuzhu can pretend to be stupid and not know anything about any troubles related to Nersu.
Because the Cao sisters themselves had internal strife, how could they blame Yuzhu?
Speaking of which, the iron hat prince seems to be extremely noble. In fact, Nersu has not even had a serious job except for being an empty prince.
Without errands, there would be no real power. Without real power, there would not be many people giving money to Narsus.
"Hmph, you damn girl's movie, just wait and see." Cao Yi was suddenly manipulated by Cao Chun. Not only did she not flinch, but she aroused her desire to win.
This matter is not over yet!
Yuzhu went to the forest of steles in the temple and admired the wonderful stone carvings and calligraphy of his predecessors.
When Cao Chun came over, Yuzhu smiled and asked her, "Have you worshiped the Bodhisattva?"
Cao Chun smiled lightly, approached the man, and whispered: "Master, I'm tired of eating the food in the house, and I'm a little greedy."
Yuzhu showed a knowing smile. Only a woman who can act coquettishly can make a man feel more compassionate.
In front of Yuzhu, Cao Chun always pretended to be a pure little white rabbit.
Yuzhu regarded this as a little fun between husband and wife, and had long been accustomed to it.
On New Year's Eve, according to the shift arranged by Acting Imperial Minister Norobu, it was Yuzhu's turn to be on duty in the Qianqing Palace.
The princes, princes, and ministers all stayed at home to celebrate New Year's Eve. Kangxi also summoned his concubine Wang and Lao Shiba to his side, asking them, mother and son, to stay with him to watch the New Year's Eve.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Dang, dang, dang..." After the self-ringing bell at the clock rang, Yuzhu opened the purple fox fur cloak covering his body and climbed up from the bed.
After washing his face with cold water and straightening his clothes, Yuzhu put his hand on the handle of the knife and started to patrol around with his men.
However, as soon as Yuzhu led people to the door of the inner palace, he was called into the Qianqing Palace by Wei Zhu.
Since Wang and Lao Shiba were both there, Yuzhu bowed politely.
Kangxi said with a smile: "Lao Ba said that when he bids farewell to the old year later, he will let you lead him to set off firecrackers and fireworks."
"Hey." When Yuzhu heard this, he dared to coax the little prince to play, and Zha Qian quickly agreed.
"Khan Ama, I still want to sprinkle sesame seeds, drink Tusu wine, eat eight-treasure rice, and cook mutton cakes..." Old Eighteenth made a dozen requests in one breath.
Yuzhu couldn't help but smile. How could the emperor's favorite son be short of food, drink and fun?
On New Year's Eve, the bannermen all stay up late to watch the New Year's Eve. After Zhengzi hour, it's the first day of the Lunar New Year.
According to the old rules of the banner, the first thing on the first day of the new year is to sprinkle sesame seeds on the ground and let people step on them casually to drive away sneaky people.
After exorcising the ghosts, it’s time to have a reunion dinner.
For all noble families, after the first lunar month, the whole family will gather together and have a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner.
Banner people pay a lot of attention to their reunion dinner. You must drink "Tusu wine" and eat eight-treasure rice and "boiled dumplings".
Cooking dumplings means cooking northern dumplings with various fillings.
Usually, purslane, a wild vegetable called "auspicious dish" by the banner people, is mixed with mutton or pork as the filling.
For poor Banner families, having a meal of boiled mutton cake is the happiest thing in the New Year.
Lao Shiba was so powerful that even before it was time, he persuaded Kangxi to agree and asked Yuzhu to accompany him, setting off firecrackers and fireworks in the open space in front of Qianqing Palace.
In the palace, the most fearful thing is getting into trouble. Even if you are celebrating the New Year, who dares to mess with firecrackers and fireworks without giving up your head?
However, the so-called rules can be modified and trampled on anytime and anywhere in front of the emperor.
As a member of the privileged class, Yuzhu inevitably feels a bit refreshed when exercising his privileges!
The psychological factors involved are actually not particularly complicated.
To put it bluntly, it is personal freedom that goes beyond the rules of the game!
Yuzhu's tricks to coax children are endless.
Lao Shiba wanted to set off firecrackers and fireworks with his own hands, so Yuzhu ordered the eunuchs to bring extra-long Buddhist incense sticks.
After the Buddhist incense was lit, Lao Ba held it in his hand and lit firecrackers from a distance.
While Lao Shiba was having a good time, Yuzhu asked the eunuchs to disperse far away.
Yuzhu loudly told them that any remaining firecrackers or fireworks that the Eighteenth Master let off must be stepped on with the soles of his boots.
Anyone who dares to do something perfunctory will be sent to the minister's office after asking for orders and given thirty blows with a heavy stick!
When Yuzhu gave instructions, his voice was very loud. Even Kangxi in the palace heard it.
Kangxi smiled and said to Wang: "Yuzhu did this all for the good of Lao Shiba. If the firecrackers set off by Lao Shiba caused water to escape from the palace, it would greatly affect the reputation."
Wang was not only as beautiful as a flower, but also extremely considerate. She smiled softly and said softly: "Sanlang, Lao Shiba has to mention the jade pillar to me countless times every day. Alas, my ears are all covered with calluses."
That’s it.”
In the entire inner palace, the only woman who dared to call Kangxi "Sanlang" was the concubine Wang.
Wang, who is still a concubine, is actually the cousin of Suzhou weaver Li Xu.
Li Xu's biological mother, Wen Shi, was Kangxi's wet nurse, so Li Xu and Kang Xi were nurse brothers. After growing up, Li Xu became Kang Xi's confidant and worked as a weaver in Suzhou for thirty years.
In addition, Li Xu also had an aunt, the Da Wang family. The brother of the Da Wang family was the county magistrate Wang Guozheng.
This Wang Zhixian was the biological father of the concubine Wang.
In other words, according to the rules of etiquette, the concubine Wang is Li Xu's cousin.
Looking at beauties under the lamp, the more I look at them, the more my heart becomes moved.
Kangxi couldn't help but feel guilty, and took advantage of Lao Shiba playing outside to kill the Wang family on the spot.
