Emperor Kangxi sent me to marry

Chapter 19 Wax Pills
The Compassion Ning Palace is still brightly lit in the middle of the night, which has never happened in the past ten years.

Usually, this means either great joy or great sorrow.

Aunt Su Ma suppressed the fire, and asked Sai Lun to watch the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang closely, while she went outside to inquire about the news and preside over the overall situation.

The folks say, 73, 84, the king of hell will not ask him to go.

The master is 73 years old, and everyone in the palace is taking good care of her, for fear that something might go wrong.

The Tong family, what they did this time was too much.

"Aunt Su Mo'er, the Empress Dowager is calling you!"

Sai Lun quickly walked out of the quiet room at the back of the main hall, and greeted Lagu Su Ma.

"I'll take my place for a while. The master doesn't look very well. Go and persuade me, aunt."

Aunt Su Ma heard the words and hurried in.

In the quiet room, the sandalwood is heavily lit, but the bitter smell of the pills has not dissipated.

Xiao Zhuang didn't have any pearl ornaments, leaning lightly on the kang table made of agarwood wood, his breathing was a bit difficult.

Could it be that I am really old and can't even grasp such a simple situation?
I thought that everything about Nanyuan today was in the palm of my hand.

She had already ambushed a few people in the garden, and she would never let Si GeGe lose a single hair.

Concubine Rong spends a lot of money on the way of her natal family's distant relative, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, through her Ama member Wailang Gaishan, and wants to plot four things, Xiaozhuang knows;
Duling County King sent someone to go through Tong's family, and wanted to see Si Gege's appearance in advance, and she knew it;
Prince Gong made his own decision temporarily and brought people into Nanyuan. Although he didn't ask for an order, he was relieved.

This is the way it should be done. It's not a big deal for guests who come from afar just want to visit the garden.

But it happened that it was this little detail that accidentally rescued Si GeGe, which messed things up instead.

He almost caught up with Guo Guiren's child.

Seeing Aunt Su Ma come in, Xiao Zhuang hurriedly asked questions.

"The eldest princess has returned to Prince Gong's mansion, there is no news yet?"

"That's right. Logically speaking, it will be soon. I think the matter is very important. Prince Gong has to choose every word carefully."

"Have you ever cried?"

They have lived together for five or sixty years, and Xiaozhuang can see any changes in the dowry maid.

"Damn the slave."

Xiao Zhuang also felt guilty in his heart, and he still insisted on it.

"Don't be a loving mother who is a loser. This is where you are going. She will get married in the future, open a mansion, and the whole tribe will have to take care of it. Wouldn't it be better to be tempered? How is Si Gege now?"

"Wake up, but wake up. I was dumbfounded, and I didn't laugh or talk. I asked and answered. I said it was a nightmare I often had before. The young man on the battlefield, covered in blood, called her back. The servant guessed..."

Aunt Su Ma didn't dare to say her name, but only held out five fingers.

Xiaozhuang Qingzhi was like this, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

Isn't it the husband Wu Yingxiong who was executed by Princess Jianning?

The almost burnt out palace lantern gradually dimmed.

Aunt Su Ma accosted her and put on a new candle, not daring to look into her master's tearful eyes.

"Si Gege's appearance, to be honest, is really similar to Princess Jianning. How about we do something special?"

"The deep-rooted hatred of ransacking the family and destroying the children and grandchildren is probably not enough for ordinary mages. Why was the eldest princess brought in to block the evil? Why did Xuan Ye's children always grow up a few years ago? It only stopped for a year or two."

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao.

Sai Lun finally brings the news that Xiao Zhuang has been waiting for.

"Master, the eldest princess is back."

This year, the fourteen-year-old eldest princess, slim and tall, moves forward and retreats well, wearing a turquoise peacock fur cloak, holding white wax pills in her plain hands, bowing down to Xiaozhuang to pay her respects.

"The Empress Dowager is auspicious."

"Good boy, I'm really sorry for you. This matter is too big, and I don't feel at ease for other people. Go and rest!"

The Eldest Princess had been instructed by her biological father, Prince Gong thousands of times earlier, that she knew the secrets in the wax balls were not a good thing, so she hurriedly saluted, handed over the things, and left immediately.

Xiao Zhuang glanced at ten lines, read the secret letter in the wax pill, and handed it to Aunt Su Ma to read.

Si Gege, it's not good for him to be too outstanding.

The marriage of the county king's family has not been settled yet, and the Khan king's family is waiting to propose marriage.

It seems that it will take a lot of trouble.

"Su Mo'er, how old is this child?"

"Nine years old."

"Oh, the age is quite appropriate. But according to the Mongolian custom, Sigege must marry at the age of twelve or thirteen. The little girl's body is not yet full-grown, and it is not good to give birth too early. But the man is fifteen or sixteen years old, and his blood Fang Gang's daughter-in-law who is as beautiful as a flower is placed in a tent, can she bear it?"

"That's right, so from the beginning, the emperor thought of the second princess. She is two or three years older than the concubine, and she will be able to give birth to her first great-grandson as soon as she gets married. bitter."

Speaking of Sony's granddaughter, Xiao Zhuang felt sad again.

The women in the palace are all for the stability of the dynasty, and they have given up the greatest happiness in life.

"If she is still here, I can still enjoy a few years of happiness. The imperial concubine is too petty, and she has the same background as her aunt. I said a long time ago that I can't elevate the slaves to this level. It makes Mongolia and the Eight Banners unhappy. The imperial concubine is Ye Bilong's own daughter, and Empress Niu Yulu's own sister, but she is inferior to her, so it is not proper. Xuanye was coaxed by his uncle, and he wants to elevate the Tong family, so I don't want to forcefully intervene."

"Master, why don't we just leave it alone. Si Gege has a bright future in the future. Although it is a bit far away, this is a real high-end marriage. There is no such noble and suitable family in the grassland. The rest will be left to the imperial concubine." Concubine Rong and Concubine Rong are dog-eat-dog, so let's make trouble."

Xiao Zhuang has managed the royal family's marriage all his life, but he is actually tired.

She slowly stretched out three fingers.

"My life span is only so much."

"Master, you live forever..."

"Don't talk nonsense. From ancient times to the present, who can live forever without bounds? Wouldn't that be a goblin? Only you know what your body is like. How many girls have I raised by my side? Han Chinese, Manchu, biological, and brought in .I dressed them up, taught them, and in the end, I sacrificed all these good girls. I have made so many sins, and I have to pay them back."

"Empress Dowager, don't blame yourself too much, isn't it all a last resort?"

"Gongxi, kid, I'm afraid the white-haired man will send the black-haired one."

Xiaozhuang came to the end of his life, and finally mustered up the courage to face his mistakes.

"My only granddaughter, Fulin, is just such a daughter, elder sister Xuanye. I held her in my hands and raised her for 15 years. Just to fight Oboi, she married Nerdu, and then she was implicated innocently. , alone, suffering in Shengjing. The Tai Hospital came to report, I'm afraid, I won't be able to survive this winter."

"That's right, she's often been sick since she was a child, and Shengjing doesn't have any good doctors."

"Su Mo'er, I, I have devoted myself to Mongolia, to the Qing Dynasty, and to three generations of emperors. Can't I follow my own heart, even just once, and be worthy of my conscience?"

Xiaozhuang drank up the ginseng soup in his hand suddenly and threw away the porcelain cup.

"That's all. I can't close my eyes if I don't arrange the marriage of these last few girls properly. Even if I try my best to make the emperor unhappy, I have to marry them to a good family!"
