After returning to Beijing, it was already July of the thirty-eighth year of Kangxi's reign. The days were passing by in detail. The bamboos were embroidering a white-headed and wealthy screen, with large peonies blooming like clouds in full bloom, and a pair of small and smart flowers on it. The white-headed man is looking forward to it, and the peony means wealth. If you add a pair of white-headed men, you will be rich and wealthy. It will be a perfect wedding gift for Princess Heshuo Jingshun and Shun Anyan.
The marriage decree was issued after Kangxi returned to Luan, and the princess palace was almost built. The wedding date was set for next year when spring is warm and the flowers are blooming. Qi Buchen and Shun Anyan, a lady gentle, a gentleman modest, naturally It couldn't be a perfect match. The day after Kangxi issued the decree, Shun Anyan wrote a letter of thanks, saying that he would treat the princess well, which made Kangxi very happy. If Yu Ludai hadn't started things, he would have been even happier.
Today is a holiday, and Yinlu and Yinli are also accompanying Wenxi. Yinli has already mastered the newly acquired guqin music, so he comes to play it for Wenxi. The music is naturally good, but it seems that it is The song of farewell is quite melancholy.
After finishing the song, Yinli saw that Wenxi was still unhappy, so he said angrily: "It's all my fault that that bitch slave Cao Yong dared to seduce my sister! Emperor Ama also asked him to go to Fengtai camp to practice. It's really flattering. This is a slave!"
Yinlu was also quite dissatisfied, "The Cao family is too contented!"
Wen Xi couldn't help but sigh. Ever since he returned to Beijing and since Cao Yong was transferred to Fengtai Camp, Yu Ludai seemed to be a different person. He was bored in the side hall all day long and refused to go out to play. Seeing that Everyone looked gloomy, which really worried Wen Xi.
"You are still young." Wen Xi only said this in a low voice. Yu Ludai has really grown up and has already been hurt by love.
Yinli still had annoyance on his face and was eager to say something else. Zhu'er hurriedly said: "My young master, please keep your voice down. What if the Sixth Princess hears it?"
Zhu'er said this, and Yinli became a lot more dissatisfied, muttering: "Sixth sister actually worked for a dog slave..." The two brothers were very dissatisfied with Cao Yong and the Cao family. They showed it to everyone in front of them and behind them. , but Yu Ludai heard it a few times, and almost fell out with his two younger brothers.
"I've heard it." With a clear and pure voice, but with a heavy smell, Yu Ludai walked in slowly. Yinli hurriedly shrank his neck, and a flattering smile appeared on his face: "Sixth Sister !”
Yu Ludai gave Wen Xifu a gift and said, "Mother, I want to learn how to tie the knot with you."
"Huh?" Yu Ludai's reaction made Wen Xi confused.
However, Yinlu suddenly became happy and said with a smile: "Sixth Sister, has she figured it out?"
Yu Ludai glanced at his two brothers lightly, turned around and sat on the couch next to Wen Xi, and said to Wen Xi, "My daughter was too impulsive before." Fu raised his head. There was less sadness in his eyes and more perseverance. " It’s just that my daughter’s decision will not change!”
Yinli's eyes widened, "Sixth sister, do you still want to marry that slave Cao Yong?!"
After Yu Ludai heard this, he was about to have an attack, but he suppressed it again. He reached out and grabbed a ball of silk thread from the box in front of Wen Xi, and pulled it in his hand.
Wen Xi smiled slightly and said, "You have learned to control your temper."
Yu Ludai kneaded the ball of thread into a mess in his hand, and Juanxiu's forehead wrinkled. Her mind was a little confused, "Even Xiao Mi Tao said this, let alone others, let alone Huang Ama."
Kangxi still had a lot of affection for the Cao family, otherwise he wouldn't have just transferred Cao Yong to the Fengtai camp. In fact, in the final analysis, whether this matter was successful or not depended on Kangxi, but how could Kangxi put it What if his daughter marries a servant of the Han army who was born in Baoyi? What's more, Yu Ludai is the Princess of Gu Lun, and the status of the previous princesses Heshuo is much higher than that of Cao Yong. How could Kangxi be willing to wrong Yu Ludai? ?
"Sixth sister!" Yinli suddenly puffed up his cheeks angrily, "Don't call me by my nickname!!"
Zhu'er, who was closest to her, couldn't help bursting out laughing. For a while, all the palace ladies and eunuchs in the palace were laughing so hard that they couldn't stand up straight. They were afraid of breaking the rules and didn't dare to laugh out loud. It was very hard for them to endure.
Yu Ludai's face, which had been dull for a long time, finally showed a rare smile. She reached out to touch Yin Li's smooth forehead and said with a smile: "As you grow up, you become less and less cute!"
Yinli twisted his head hard and snorted loudly to express his dissatisfaction.
After laughing, the atmosphere was finally no longer dull. Wen Xi put down the bag in her hand and said: "The emperor will inspect the outside of the Great Wall in the seventh month. It happens to be sweltering in the capital, so he can go out to cool down." This matter was proposed by the Queen Mother herself. , Kangxi had also agreed, and the necessary place to visit during the inspection outside the Great Wall was naturally the Horqin Grassland, the Queen Mother’s natal home, so the Queen Mother would also go there during this trip.
Yinlu was slightly startled and said, "Didn't I just come back from Jiangnan and go on patrol again?"
She expressed her kindness gently and said leisurely: "The Queen Mother said that she is homesick. Your Majesty, don't refuse. I just want to go to Horqin. It won't take long."
"Huang Ma Ma..." Yin Lu pondered slightly, his eyes were bottomless, and he glanced at Yu Ludai, then lowered his head.
Yinli didn't think much about it. When he heard that he was going on patrol again, he was so happy that he almost clapped his hands and cheered, "Okay, okay! My son hasn't been to the grassland yet!"
Yinlu looked at Wen Xi and asked, "Did Madam Huang Ma say that she wants Sixth Sister to go too?"
Wen Xi nodded, "Not bad!"
Yinlu frowned deeply: "Horqintai Ji's second son is nineteen years old this year and has not yet married." Then he looked at Yu Ludai steadily and said, "E Niang should have made plans for the sixth sister earlier."
Wen Xi pursed her lips and smiled. Wen Xi had been planning for Yu Lu Dai since she was not born. Kangxi also promised Wen Xi that he would never ask Yu Lu Dai to marry far away. And in Mongolia today, today Different from the past, marriage can certainly bring benefits, but without marriage, it is expected that they will not do anything. Therefore, Kangxi never had the idea of asking Yu Ludai to marry far away.
Wen Xi looked sideways at Yu Ludai and said, "Are you going?"
"No!" Yu Ludai angrily put the messy thread ball back into the box.
Her gentle eyebrows were raised, with a hint of joking: "You really don't want to go?"
"If you don't go, I won't go!!" Yu Ludai is not a fool. What Wen Xi and Yin Lu said could not be more clear.
Wen Xi held a round fan in her hand, covering half of her face, and said leisurely: "When the emperor goes on patrol, he must choose the most elite Eight Banners disciples in the Fengtai camp as his escort..."
Yu Ludai's eyes suddenly lit up, and he blurted out: "Really?!"
After all, it's still a girl's feelings, Wen Xi secretly thought in her heart, but she didn't say anything more, just let her get excited. In the afternoon, the nun of Cining Palace sent a roster, which was full of the list of chauffeurs patrolling outside the Great Wall, Wen Xi Xi took one look, and the Queen Mother had indeed chosen her and Yu Ludai.
The nanny was very polite and said with a pleasant smile: "The Queen Mother has said that it is up to the Queen Mother to decide which of the concubines will accompany you."
Wen Xi nodded with a smile. After the Queen Mother sold this freshman, she naturally hoped that by going to Horqin, Wen Xi could stand on the same side as her. During the introduction, the Queen Mother was the matchmaker. Wen Xi, the biological mother, agreed. I am afraid that Kangxi would not object. Right? After all, the Queen Mother would never think that a majestic concubine would ask her daughter to marry Cao Yong.
Wen Xixin circled several concubines, including Concubine Hui and Concubine Rong, who had come to beg for help before. She kept her posture very low. Wen Xi would not embarrass them in such a matter. Then she circled the noble Shangbu, and then said in a calm tone : "Let the Seventh Princess accompany you. Jingshun is preparing to get married, so it's naturally inconvenient to go. I'm afraid that Yu Ludai will be bored alone, so let's ask the Seventh Princess to accompany us."
Mammy nodded hurriedly in agreement.
The biological mother of the seventh princess was just the noble Nala, a daughter who received little attention from Kangxi. She was asked to accompany Concubine Hui on this trip. This arrangement was all right. The first princess was either married or planning to get married, and the second princess was either married or planning to get married. The eighth princess is in the Zen courtyard, the ninth princess, and the tenth princess are still young, so the seventh princess is the right age. The seventh princess was born in the 26th year of Kangxi's reign, and is now thirteen years old.
The high-ranking concubine Wen Xi only selected Concubine Hui and Concubine Rong, and originally planned to add Concubine Cheng, but Wanjing suddenly became pregnant at this time, and she had no intention of becoming Concubine Cheng. She also circled a few more unimportant concubines. Chang Zai agreed and finally decided on the list of concubines to accompany him. As for He Changzai, he had never accompanied him on the southern tour before. Now that he was touring outside the Great Wall, Wen Xi still kept her isolated.
"That's it, just take it to the emperor for review." Wen Xi put down the brush and said calmly.
Xiaoluzi hunched over and walked in quickly, saying in a low voice: "Master, the emperor has turned over He Changzai's sign."
Wen Xi raised her eyelids and said indifferently: "I know." It has been more than half a month since I came back, and this is the third time that Hezhe's name has been turned over. It seems that the favor is becoming more and more abundant.
Wen Xi and Hezhe had almost no interaction, just because she was from Tong Bin's palace, so they met once or twice. Hezhe didn't seem as arrogant and domineering as the rumors in the palace, and I don't know if it was because he didn't behave well in front of her. Dare to be arrogant. But since she didn't offend Wen Xi, Wen Xi wouldn't embarrass her.
Xiao Luzi paused for a moment, hesitated to speak, and finally spoke out after a long time: "Qian'er, the people in front of the imperial court are not talking about it, saying that the emperor has promised to make young master Hezhe a noble man!"
"I was born as a palace maid, and if I can get to this point, it's the end of it!" Zhu'er said coldly.
Wen Xi chuckled, "Don't forget, the former Concubine De was also a maid of honor!"
The next day, when the list of escorts came down, there was one more concubine than Wen Xi had planned, and it was He Changzai who was said to be made a nobleman by the Jin Dynasty. For a time, everyone in the harem was jealous, even the high-ranking concubines. She couldn't help but say a few sour words. This made Tong Bi even more proud. Shen Bi couldn't bear to see it and muttered: "What's so proud? It's as if she wants to accompany the driver on a tour!" Yes, Kangxi only asked He Changzai to accompany him, but not Tong Bi.
No matter how others criticize, since Kangxi decided that He Chang would accompany him, there is no doubt about it. This Hezhe family has become more and more reclusive, and if she falls in the eyes of others, they will mutter that she is too arrogant! (To be continued.
