Emperor Kangxi sent me to marry

Xin Qimei didn't expect that the majestic fourth princess would live in such a simple way.

She had also been in the Jiangning Weaving Mansion. The furnishings were rich and luxurious, and the servants were dressed in gold and silver. Her attitude was indifferent with a hint of arrogance, clearly belittling her.So since entering the palace, she has also been mentally prepared to be ridiculed, and she is always in fear. She did not expect that the people she met were so kind and unusual, but she was surprised.

After entering Hai Feng's room, she saw that the furniture was half old and not new. Shu Tai opened the green gauze curtain and invited her in. The room inside was not much more glamorous than the two maids' rooms. The most striking thing was that it was full of people. There are four shelves of books, and most of the cases are pens, inks, papers and inkstones. It is not like a young lady's boudoir, but rather like a study room for a young master. Only then did she know that the princess should be valued by the elders, and she does not only hope that the princess will improve her morals , Even poetry and books must be proficient.

"The daughter of the people pays her respects to His Royal Highness the Fourth Princess."

"Get up."

Ah Xiang moved a stool over, and Xin Qimei carefully sat next to it.

"How is Tang Bin's family? Why did you ask a little girl like you to pay back the money? Actually, I didn't expect them to pay back the money. But Tang Bin's family was very strict during his lifetime, so they probably wouldn't violate it. 500 taels, and they only charged 100 taels."

"Back to the princess, the wives and young masters of the Tang family are all good. The Tang family bought land with the 100 taels that the princess gave back then, including my family's. After a few years of delay, they borrowed more than half of it from relatives and friends. Enough principal and interest, I want to find a proper person to send to pay off the debt, so the girl accepted the job. Mrs. Tang's family is kind-hearted, she thinks I am sixteen, my father died early, my brothers are thinking all day, how to sell me , so I entrusted Mr. Tang’s former subordinates to bring me all the way to the capital and go to Ruixiangfang.”

"Then why don't you follow him into Beijing? You're still causing trouble at the city gate."

"I'm actually not on his way. If you want to write the household registration, the brothers will come to you sooner or later. Mr. Tang has a good official voice. We were interrogated several times when we came. One said that he was a servant of Tang Bin, the former prefect of Jiangning. They were all allowed. The capital city has strict rules, so I can’t come in.”

"But, the people here only recognize the patch on the official uniform and the shining silver. So, do you want to be a embroiderer?"

Xin Qimei let out a sigh of relief, held her small and exquisite head high, knelt down, and kowtowed three times to Haifeng.

"Your Highness, forgive me, I, I want to enter the palace and be the master and empress!"

As soon as this remark came out, not only Ah Xiang and Shu Tai were surprised, but Hai Feng was also aroused a little bit of interest.

Of course, when you enter Ruixiangfang, as long as you are not stupid, you will know where to send the beautiful women, but everyone is tacit, whether you want to or not, never say it out loud, and keep a little reserved.It was the first time in three years that Xin Qimei said it so bluntly.

Hai Feng kept a serious face on purpose, and his tone was also gloomy.

"I thought that people from the Tang family at least knew how to be polite. Unexpectedly, they are also vain."

"His Royal Highness, a civilian girl who has never been educated, if what she says is wrong, beheaded or slapped, I am willing to accept it. I just ask Her Royal Highness to give me some pointers."

"Okay, you say."

"Yes. Minnv's family is poor, the land has been sold, and there are many children. Since she was young, she has never eaten a few dry meals. The three older sisters above were all sold for food and clothing. I am the youngest. She is also the best-looking, and the older brothers are holding on to the price, so they refuse to sell easily, so they stay until now. They sold me, but they would not give me the money, they just went out and spent it by themselves. Mother also helped the older brothers, and refused to sell me Stop it. Instead of asking them to sell me, I'll sell it myself, to the most powerful man in the world, at least I can keep this benefit in my hands. Please tell me, princess, what's wrong with me?"

Ah Xiang was infected by her extremely similar life experience, and couldn't help crying.Hai Feng didn't speak, but only looked at Shu Tai.Shu Tai spoke to Xin Qimei.

"Miss, this is wrong. If you want to avoid being bought and sold, it's the same if you stay in Ruixiangfang. As long as you are willing to work hard, you will never be short of food and clothing. The princess's salary is fair, and it is difficult for your brothers to come to you. If you dare to mess around , the princess has her own way to deal with it. Why do you have to enter the palace?"

Xin Qimei kowtowed again, then straightened up, with two big eyes, she looked at Hai Feng frankly.

"Ruixiangfang is a good place. Minnv has never seen such a generous owner since she was born. There are many embroidery workshops in Jiangning, but the embroiderers can only get one tael if they embroider ten taels of work. I heard the Tang family The wife said that the princess is not just in the embroidery business, so she is so generous. But the minnv dared to ask: When will the princess keep the embroidery workshop open? Will Ruixiangfang never close? If the Ruixiangfang is gone, the minnv You are old, where should you go?"

Shu Tai was about to scold Xin Qimei for being presumptuous and crow-mouthed, but Hai Feng stopped her.

"Since you have thought clearly, it is better for me to do things here. Yes, it is better to ask for yourself than to ask for others. I can't guarantee that Ruixiangfang will continue to open. I can't guarantee that the embroidery workshop will provide you with flowers on the day you can't embroider. But as a concubine, as long as you don't make big mistakes, Khan Ama is not mean. If you are willing to be used by me, with my current status in the palace, I will push you to the position of the first favorite concubine , it’s not difficult. You can reach the sky in one step.”

"Thank you, princess, for your success. Minnen are willing to do things for the princess. If you are not loyal, you will be struck with thunder."

"There is no need to make a poisonous oath. If you change your mind, I have my own means to deal with it. Besides, I can't ask you to sleep in for a while. You have to make up your origin to be like that. During this time, you Think about it again. Khan Ama is 36 years old, 20 years older than you. If you work in Ruixiangfang, if you want to marry someone, I can help you find a man of the right age and family background to match you."

Xin Qimei lowered her head sadly, she was completely different from the impassioned woman just now.

"So what if two people are in love, so what about childhood sweethearts. As they get older, men will change their minds and take concubines. Those who don't take concubines are nothing more than poor and have no money. Women want to have children and take care of housework. The husband When the anger is not going well, she will be beaten and sold. Minnv grew up in the countryside, what have you never seen? Serving the emperor, at least those troubles will not be there. I begged Mrs. Tang's."

Now even Shu Tai couldn't say anything better, just like Ah Xiang, he wiped his tears silently.

Haifeng is going to the Prince's place today, the time is too late, first ask Xin Qimei to go down to rest, wait for the palace gate to be closed, and when the eunuchs who are not on duty leave the palace, we can hang out together.

"Since you have made up your mind, from today onwards, you will forget your surname Xin, and just remember your surname Wang. Don't choose a name for now. It's best if Khan Ama is willing to give you a name. That's appropriate. I'll come back in the afternoon , and then discuss something else."

Ah Xiang led Xin Qimei to look for Fucha Madam to take care of her, while Hai Feng hurriedly got on the chariot and led Shu Tai to the direction of Yuqing Palace.
