This shrill voice of "Master Cao asks to see you", to Yu Ludai, was nothing less than the voice of heaven. Yu Ludai's tearful eyes showed overjoyed joy, and she looked back at Wen Xi with a strong look of pleading.
Yu Ludai was in love. She had always been happy and careless since she was a child, but she was actually in love, so quickly and so deeply. Wen Xi could only say: "Pass him in." Cao Cao said. Yong, if he comes today, it means a lot that he dares to come today. Wen Xi has no reason to turn him away.
Cao Yong's clothes were as before, without any hint of joy, and he was wearing a lake-blue coat. He quickly walked into the main hall, knelt down with a thud, his eyes were red, and kowtowed, "This servant pays my respects to the imperial concubine, and to the six." Greetings, princess."
"An?" Wen Xi snorted softly, her tone raised high, "I am not uneasy at all! How dare you approach the concubine's residence?!"
"Eniang..." Yu Ludai hurriedly cast a pleading look.
Wen Xi just scolded her secretly for not living up to expectations, asking for mercy so quickly, and gave her a sharp look. Yu Ludai lowered his head with grievance, pulled Wen Xi's lapel and muttered: "Don't be angry, E Niang. .." Just like when she was young, every time she got into trouble, she would have this tone and this expression. She would pitifully pull her clothes and say with tears in her eyes, "Don't be angry, mother-in-law." , Wen Xi was always made to lose her temper by her appearance.
Cao Yong knelt there, looking up at Yulu Dai, and said: "I came here just to make myself give up. As long as the princess said something, saying that it was all my wishful thinking, I will go back immediately. I obeyed my parents' orders and accepted it." My cousin is my concubine!”
The person Cao Yong wants to take in this time is the concubine of a cousin of his mother Li's family. She is the same age as Cao Yong, but seems to be a few months younger. It is said that she is an extremely beautiful woman and a lady from an official family, although she is only a seventh-grade girl. The county magistrate's concubine was, after all, Mrs. Li's niece, so the concubine ceremony was held with great ceremony. Even in the palace, noises could be heard.
As soon as Cao Yong finished speaking, Yu Ludai became angry and angry: "I, the princess, do not allow you to have concubines! Not today, nor in the future!! Not only are you not allowed to have concubines, you are not allowed to have connecting rooms!!"
Yu Ludai's words were extremely domineering and even unreasonable, but Cao Yong almost cried with joy. He was so excited that he looked at Yu Ludai with tears in his eyes: "Yes!"
Wen Xi has been observing Cao Yong's expression. If he is even half hypocritical, Wen Xi will definitely not spare him. But he is also a young man in love, so what reason does Wen Xi have to blame him?! Princesses of the Qing Dynasty are indeed noble. But he was not allowed to take a concubine, but he happily agreed. It seemed to be the happiest thing about this matter. He liked Yu Ludai, not necessarily half less than Yu Ludai liked him. The warmth brewed in his heart. All the accusations turned into silence.
Seeing that Cao Yong was so happy and agreed so without hesitation, Yu Ludai's face immediately flushed with embarrassment. At that moment, her little daughter's mentality was fully exposed. Wen Xi always thought that this daughter missed him and would not be easy. She was passionate about the man, but her expression at the moment was so shy and happy. She stamped her feet: "You are not allowed to accept your cousin! You are not allowed to like her!"
"Yes!" Cao Yong responded simply, with a smile as bright as spring. What was even more brilliant was his eyes, which were shining with excitement, looking straight at Yu Ludai's eyes. Eye.
Yu Ludai's face turned as red as pig liver, he stamped his feet fiercely, turned around and ran back to the inner room.
There is the elegant fragrance of orchid in the hall, and the ice cubes carved with bat patterns in the ice basin exude a cool breeze, which makes people's faces cool. It is completely different from the scorching heat outside. The fan in the warm hand seems to have become a decoration. General. There was a trace of unconcealable complexity in her warm eyes. She turned around and sat on the glazed phoenix throne. With a mixture of melancholy in her eyes, she glanced at Cao Yong, who was still kneeling on the ground.
Cao Yong kowtowed deeply and begged: "I beg the imperial concubine to grant her permission!!"
"Perfect?" Wen Xi chewed these two words carefully, "How can this be accomplished by this palace?" Although Kangxi agreed, Yu Ludai would not marry far away, but he would never marry Yu Ludai. Cao Yin, who married a Han army bannerman and had the highest official position in the Cao family, was only a fifth-grade weaver. Even though he was gentle and didn't mind the humble Cao family, how could Kangxi not care?!
Wen Xi glanced sideways. Although Yu Lu Dai escaped, he was still uneasy and was still eavesdropping. Wen Xi sighed lowly and couldn't help but recall that on the ship going south, Yu Lu Dai and Yu Lu Dai were still listening. Cao Yong was placed in a cradle. Cao Yin and his wife Li both wanted to get married. After being declined, they retreated and accepted the adopted son and adopted daughter. Perhaps, the marriage was really destined by God.
"This slave has nothing but true feelings! I ask the Imperial Concubine to show mercy to the Sixth Princess!" Cao Yong said in a fisted voice, somewhat choked with sobs, and kowtowed again.
"I..." Wen Xi was speechless. Yu Ludai was her daughter who was born in ten months of pregnancy and was her first child. How could she not pity her?! That's why Wen Xi was in such trouble! I I planned to ask Yu Ludai to cut off the tangled knot with a quick knife, but it turned out that it was not a tangled knot, but countless dense love threads, which could not be cut off. If I tried to cut them off by force, I would only hurt Yu Ludai. As a mother, Wen Xi really couldn't bear to scream. Yu Ludai was sad.
"I will not object." Wen Xi said sadly.
A look of ecstasy suddenly appeared on Cao Yong's face, and just as he was about to kowtow to thank you again, he said in a gentle tone: "But you should understand that the emperor will never agree!"
Cao Yong seemed to be struck by lightning. He was stunned and could not recover for a long time.
"You should think carefully about how to face the emperor's thunderous wrath." Wen Xi said quietly. Cao Yong broke into the concubine's residence without permission, which was enough to make Kangxi angry. If Kangxi heard that a slave dared to covet his daughter , I don’t know how long I will be furious!
After saying this, Wen Xi waved her hand and said, "Please step back and think about what to do next."
Cao Yong was filled with fear and worry as he looked in the direction of Yu Ludai. He stared for a long time as if he wanted to see through the screen. After looking for a long time, he reluctantly stood up and left.
Things in the palace could not be hidden from Kangxi, not to mention that as soon as Cao Yong went there, he refused to take a concubine. Kangxi understood the reason and was naturally furious. He left the government affairs he was dealing with and came to the ceremony hall with the gentle Youfeng. .
"This is so outrageous!!" Kangxi opened his mouth with the smell of gunpowder, "I am already very kind to the Cao family. I have accepted Cao Yin's sister as a noble, and I regard Cao Yin's eldest daughter as the direct descendant of Pingjun Prince Neersu. I acquiesce in Grandma Sun's general. My niece was given to the prince as a concubine! I didn’t expect them to be greedy!! They actually asked Cao Yong to covet my daughter!! Presumptuous! It’s so presumptuous!!”
Cao Yin's eldest daughter was the daughter of her original wife. She was granted a marriage by Kangxi in her early years to the prince of Pingjun, Nersu. King! Kangxi was indeed very kind to the Cao family. Wen Xi said nothing, only listened to Kangxi venting his anger, and scolded the Cao family from head to toe.
It wasn't until Kangxi's mouth became dry when he spoke that Wen Xi offered him a cup of jasmine tongue: "Your Majesty, please have a sip of tea."
Kangxi was stunned for a long time, looking at his face that was as gentle and moist as before, he couldn't help but question: "Aren't you angry?"
Wen Xi only sighed lowly, and gently stroked the graceful orchid leaves with her hand, which was pierced with gold and flower armor, and poured the leftover and cooled tea from her cup into it, "Tian It’s hot, why bother getting angry in the heat?”
Kangxi's hand covered his warm hand, and then he held the soft catkins tightly and said with relief: "Don't worry, I won't marry Yu Ludai to that rude servant of Cao Yong!"
Wen Xi looked leisurely in the direction of the Cao family's mansion and said, "Today was originally a festive day for the Cao family, but it was upset by Yu Ludai's words."
Kangxi immediately frowned and said: "They were all seduced by that dog slave!!"
Wen Xi couldn't help but laugh. At this time, Kangxi was still so partial. He would not think that it was his daughter's fault, and that any fault was also the fault of others. Yu Ludai said that Cao Yong was not allowed to take concubines, so Cao Yong stubbornly disobeyed his parents. , and forcibly drove back the cousin who was about to be brought in. Many people did not know the inside story, so they secretly laughed at the Cao family.
"Your Majesty..." Wen Xi looked at Kangxi with a sad look in her eyes, like the melancholy of a lilac. Kangxi's gaze softened a little, and Wen Xi continued to mourn: "I'm afraid Bi'er is moving. We are in love, she is so stubborn, if we break her up forcibly, I am afraid she will be sad."
Kangxi frowned deeply, "Why did Yu Ludai fall in love with that dog slave?!" Although the Cao family has been carried as the Han military flag, they were slaves in their early years, and their background was criticized.
"They are all idiots!" Wen Xi sighed and added, "Actually, regardless of his background, Cao Yong's talents, martial arts, and character are all impeccable, and he is also an idiot."
Kangxi frowned: "Are you kidding?! How can I promise Yulu Dai to him?!"
"Why not?!" At this time, Yu Ludai ran in from nowhere, and he was not polite at all. He looked directly at Kangxi with his big watery eyes, "Cao Yong has nothing wrong with him, why can't he do it?" My daughter’s forehead?!”
Yu Ludai's direct question made Kangxi angry, "There are so many outstanding Eight Banners disciples, which one is not better than that slave Cao Yong?!"
Yu Ludai's face turned red for a while, and he said angrily to Kangxi: "He is the best! But no one is better than him!"
"You——" Kangxi was angry, "My daughter's family is not reserved at all! What does it look like?!"
"Huang Ama!" Yu Ludai blushed, "I just fall in love with him, and I just want him to be my consort!"
Seeing that Kangxi was about to get angry, Wen Xi hurriedly stepped forward and glared at Yu Ludai, "Who asked you to come in? Come back quickly!"
"I..." Seeing that E Niang didn't speak for her, Yu Ludai felt a sense of grievance, "Huang Ama has already punished him to kneel under the scorching sun for two hours. It's almost noon now, so he has to kneel down again. , you will get heat stroke!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes.
