Emperor Kangxi sent me to marry

Abdominal poetry and gas from China.

After receiving four or five months of supplementary education in Princess Kejing's mansion, Zhong Jihai has now become a "female eighteenth transformation."

Not only is it about reading and literacy, Grandma Sai Lun teaches the court etiquette and rules, Ji Lan teaches how to treat others and how to dress, making sure that even if Zhong Jihai is not good enough, he can at least be good enough to follow the four princesses and go out to socialize.

Haifeng devoted herself wholeheartedly to the matter of rectifying the officialdom. When she came to her senses, the cold and arrogant little prairie wolf she once was was able to accept her generously and smooth the soft down on her ears.

Although the Mongolian attire has not changed, Jilan gave full play to her many years of embroidery skills. She commanded the mothers on the front line in the mansion and the embroiderers in Ruixiangfang to buy thirty or forty sets of clothes in different styles for Zhong Jihai, and then covered them with makeup. Regardless of the flaws in his facial features, his original strengths are brought into play. Zhong Jihai's bold and uninhibited eyes and sharp facial contours make people forget the ordinary and unforgettable.

I also learned Manchu and Chinese to a level where I can have daily conversations.

Haifeng looked at the reborn Zhong Jihai several times from head to toe, and couldn't help but nod repeatedly.

"The palace is busy these days, and I just have some free time. On a good day, let's go into the palace and see the Queen Mother."

Zhong Jihai had long heard Aunt Sai Lun introduce the Queen Mother in detail, and knew that she was a Mongolian, and wanted to meet her.

"What's happening in the palace?"

"The Queen Mother is celebrating her 59th birthday. Because next year is her 15th birthday, the Khan Ama is going to have a grand party, so the Queen Mother is thinking of being a little more frugal this year, so as not to make officials comment. The banquet is planned to be held in Changchun Garden. Forget it, you, a little girl, probably don’t want to hear what I say about these trivial matters of daily necessities and careful calculation. I have three younger sisters who are about the same age as you. One is 13 years old, one is 11 years old, and the other is [-] years old. When the time comes, you and I Let them have fun."

On the day of entering the palace, Haifeng got up early and didn't care about himself. He dressed Zhong Jihai up beautifully, sent Dongsheng to wait on her, and prepared four generous gifts and rewards for servants. In total, Thirty.

"It contains small gold and silver ingots, and Dongsheng knows the weight. From now on, she will follow you and be your maid in charge. When you don't know whether to give a reward, don't be awkward and give it directly to Aunt Sai Lun. Give me a look."

Zhong Jihai accepted it graciously, but still solemnly thanked Haifeng.

"I know you didn't spend this money for me. But without these paving the way, I wouldn't be able to enter the Forbidden City, let alone slowly plan to meet Brother Sebuteng. Let's wait and see. I won't always be just An orphan girl with empty hands."

Haifeng liked Zhong Jihai's straightforward and clear answers and pulled her into the palace in the same carriage as him.

In order to help the fourth sister and save face for Zhong Jihai, the fifth princess grabbed the sixth and seventh princesses and waited at the entrance of Ningshou Palace in front of many noble ladies coming and going.

The three conspicuous princess guards and the crowd of maids and eunuchs almost broke the threshold of Ningshou Palace.

When Haifeng got out of the car, he saw three sisters basking in the sun. He was moved and distressed at the same time.

The fifth princess was the first to rush forward and help the fourth sister out of the car.

"But it's here, Mama has been chanting about it since I got up early."

"Isn't it the same for you just sitting inside and waiting?"

"It's different. Didn't Fourth Sister hear about it? The whole capital is waiting for you to bring the eldest lady of the Junggar tribe out to meet people."

Zhong Jihai knew in advance what the three princesses looked like and what their temperaments were.Therefore, one can tell at a glance that this lively, lovely and oldest one is the fifth princess born from Concubine De, and has the closest relationship with the fourth princess.Get off the bus politely and follow the rules.

The fifth princess deliberately communicated with Zhong Jihai in fluent Mongolian.

"Famous is not as good as meeting. The girl is really different from others."

Seeing Zhong Jihai's Queen Mother, she had the same feeling as the Fifth Princess, and asked her subordinates to reward her with some old items that she brought out when she got married from Mongolia.Its value is no less than the golden nanmu Maitreya Buddha statue prepared by Haifeng for Zhong Jihai.

"The Ai family heard from the fourth princess that you are now learning Manchu. The Ningshou Palace in the Ai family is filled with old people who have been serving you for many years. You feel uncomfortable speaking Manchu, but they can also understand Mongolian."

He also asked the three princesses who were still in the palace to be married to come forward to see the ceremony.

"You just met the fifth princess. Here comes the sixth princess."

A young girl in her prime, wearing a lotus-colored palace dress, stepped forward in response.

Zhong Jihai looked at her, she was soft and thin, quiet and a little reserved. He naturally thought of the poem Chen Shuyi taught her, "Ping Ping curled up for more than thirteen years". Then he looked at the figure he had developed in the princess's mansion, and it seemed that he could The three princesses were both so strong, and I secretly laughed in my heart.

"Hello, Sixth Princess."

Dongsheng stepped forward and presented him with a meeting gift, a set of jeweled forbidden steps passed down from the previous dynasty.

"I heard that in the summer in the harem, the concubines and princesses would wear Jiangnan clothes and take a boat to the lake to pick lotus flowers. This kind of thoughtfulness adds color to the Sixth Princess."

The slender Sixth Princess, who was always the most eye-catching at such events, accepted the meeting gift with a smile and gave a return gift to Zhong Jihai.

The fifth princess pushed the seventh princess forward.Zhong Jihai saw that she was smaller than him, as fair and rosy as a porcelain doll, and he liked her more and more. He pulled out a pair of jade hairpins that Jilan bought for her and put them on the seventh princess's head.The seventh princess blushed and returned Zhong Jihai the silver necklace she was wearing around her neck.

The Queen Mother was smiling as if she were meeting a distant granddaughter.

"I've seen it all, so you little girls, go and have fun on your own. The Ai family knows that you are restrained here and don't dare to laugh."

The fifth princess then led her sisters and Zhong Jihai to her boudoir, while Haifeng stayed behind to talk to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother didn't care at all about how to organize her upcoming birthday, and directly talked about the fifth princess's marriage.

"The emperor likes Shun Anyan, the eldest grandson of the Tong family, and the fifth princess herself does not object, so I don't think I am a bad person. On the contrary, Concubine De is a bit worried about gains and losses. There are many Tong family members, and their in-laws are all over the Eight Banners. The favor after marriage The exchanges are enough to keep the fifth princess busy for half a year."

"Then, who does Empress De Fei like to be her son-in-law?"

"You are still so agile. After looking at it herself, she couldn't choose a better candidate than Shun Anyan. First of all, if the fifth princess can stay in the capital, that is the best arrangement."

Speaking of this, the Queen Mother couldn't help but feel lonely.

"You're going to move to Mobei in the spring next year, right?"

Haifeng knew what the Queen Mother was regretting and took the initiative to speak.

"If Ma Ma doesn't mind me staying at my parents' house for too long, I will come to arrange the marriage for my fifth sister next year. I will not leave until you have passed your sixtieth birthday. So I will set off in the spring of the year after next."

"Really? Then Dobu won't care about it, right?"

"I've already asked him about it. Anyway, he has to observe filial piety for a year. He doesn't go out or do things. It's the same everywhere. Besides, my daughter is still young and can't afford the trouble on the road. Let's raise her older."

In the Forbidden City, the Queen Mother had seen many children who died young and did not grow up. She quickly stopped Haifeng and did not allow her to say any unlucky words.

"Just understand in your heart. I wish you could live in the capital for the rest of your life. Does the Emperor know?"

"Ask Ma Ma her idea first. Khan Ma Ma hasn't heard about it yet."

"You don't have to say it, let me tell you. If you say it, he may reject it. The emperor's words are hard to change. When I ask him at the birthday banquet, I will definitely be able to do it."

Haifeng had not been in the palace for a long time because she was busy with court affairs. The Queen Mother asked her to talk about her daily life. She almost forgot the time and just kept talking. It was the fifth princess who came to serve the Queen Mother, take the afternoon decoction and give Haifeng some medicine. Around.

After the Queen Mother went to take a nap, the fifth princess pulled Haifeng into the courtyard to talk privately.

"Ma Ma is getting old and doesn't remember much of what she said. Fourth sister, don't dislike it."

"No matter what, I don't mind it. Mama is willing to tell me this because she really cares about me."

"Fourth sister still understands. I think that one out of ten people who come to celebrate birthdays and give gifts these days is good. They are sincere. After saying three polite words, they are either asking for an official position for their brothers and husbands, or asking for a title for their grandchildren and great-grandchildren. "

"It's human nature, why do you bother yourself in this? How about Zhong Jihai?"

The fifth princess readily gave a thumbs up.

"The fourth sister knows how to deal with people, and she is also lovable and admirable. There are too many flatteries and false feelings in the palace. This person who is quick to speak and speaks straightforwardly makes it comfortable to interact with."

"As long as you can chat." Seeing that it was getting late, Haifeng originally planned to call Zhong Jihai back home, but the fifth princess forced him to talk to an inconspicuous wing in Ningshou Palace.

"Why, the courtyard isn't secluded enough, so we have to change here. Are you sneaky and want to do something bad?"

"Fourth sister is so annoying. When my sister is in trouble, you still make fun of her."

The fifth princess looked around to see if anyone was eavesdropping at the door or window.

Haifeng looked at her carefully and saw some clues.

The girl's thoughts are intricately linked.

Most of them are love threads.

"Why, you and Shun Anyan don't get along well?"

"No, he, he's fine."

The fifth princess was embarrassed to tell her sister directly. She lowered her head and checked her nails repeatedly.

"Since we agreed to get married, I haven't been able to see him very much. He always sends people to bring gifts and writes a few letters. I've been busy these days and haven't replied. I don't know why he sent Ma Ma I was persuaded. A few days ago, I was ordered to go to Changchun Garden to see the arrangements for the birthday banquet, and he, he suddenly jumped out."

"Okay, okay, no need to say any more, I know everything."

Their little thoughts were something Haifeng had experienced many years ago.

"Are you really attracted to him?"

"not yet."

"Well, that's right. It's not in vain that Madam De and I have been teaching each other for so many years. We didn't let him take advantage, right?"

"Oh, Fourth Sister, where are you talking about? How dare he lay a finger on me. When he came, he didn't say any sweet words. He just muttered incoherently and repeatedly to reassure me. Even if I don't give birth to a child, he will I don’t plan to take a concubine.”

"Huh, let's wait until you get married 30 years later to see if it's true or not."

The man's credit had already been overdrawn by Yuan Zhen.

At that time, Yuan Zhen married Wei Cong, the only daughter of a high-ranking official, to a poor and penniless Yuan Zhen. The dowry and jewelry were sold at a discount to support him in officialdom, study and progress, and he did not need a hairpin on his head, but also wanted his husband to have wine with him at dinner. Meat.

When Yuan Zhen finally became prosperous, Wei Cong fell ill and passed away.

Yuan Zhen wrote many mourning poems for her, expressing his willingness to be a widower and never marry again.

But he will keep his eyes open all night, repaying his lifeless eyebrows.

What a nice thing to say, and then he turned around and remarried Pei Shu, the daughter of an aristocratic family.

Not to mention Cui Shuangwen, his first love who was abandoned by him, and Xue Tao, who became a monk for him.

He deserves to be included in three hundred Tang poems and be permanently pulled out and whipped to death for generations to come.

Chen Shuyi used these two sentences to teach Haifeng an emotional lesson, warning her that "if you are a grieving girl, you will have no time to hang out with scholars."

Then she took it out unchanged and taught it to the fifth princess.

"Then what are your plans to find Fourth Sister?"

"I just didn't have any plans, that's why I asked you!"

"Oh. From the fourth sister's point of view, Shun Anyan came to see you, which means roughly two things: first, that he really admires you and couldn't receive a reply, so he was so anxious that he even used the Queen Mother's connections; , he himself doesn’t care, but he listened to Uncle Tong and came over to express his feelings for you, lest the identity of the prince-in-law that he was about to obtain was lost. If it’s one, you might as well try to get along with him again; if two, It’s easy to handle. You two get along like the second sister and Urgon, can he still take care of the princess? "

The fifth princess felt that what Haifeng said was quite good, but a bit empty.

"How does Fourth Sister know which side he is on?"

"This is not easy. Go and ask someone to bring a pen and paper. Write a letter to Shun Anyan as I said."

On the carriage back home in the evening, Zhong Jihai saw that the face of the fourth princess was different from when she came here. The poise was gone, replaced by a playful look that wanted to play tricks, which felt very fresh.

"Ever since I came to the capital, I have felt that you are a bit evil. You are clearly in your early twenties, but you are as sophisticated and domineering as a man in his forties or fifty. When I see you like this today, I feel that you are still a living person. It’s not demon possession.”

After hearing this, Hai Feng felt that Zhong Jihai was possessed by a ghost.

This kind of eyesight is too poisonous!
"Oh. Really? I'll invite the fifth sister to come to the princess's house as a guest in a few days. You can entertain her with me."

"Since you can go out and the Forbidden City is so close, why do you let her come out instead of you entering the palace?"

Haifeng was helpless and wanted to ask Zhong Jihai's opinion. When he got home, he shared the plan with her, Shutai and Axiang.

"Find a way to find a way to give this letter to Shun Anyan directly without disturbing Uncle Tong Guo. I told him not to tell anyone. On the day when the fifth princess comes out of the palace to come to us, go to the Wufang Building and wait for the tryst. Don't worry, Wu The princess won't go. I just want to see if he will reveal this matter to Uncle Tong Guo."

After listening to it, Zhong Jihai felt that Haifeng's design could not explain anything.

"If he didn't tell Uncle Tong and went there on his own, he might not be a good man. The fifth princess is quite beautiful, and she even proposed a tryst. If he had inappropriate thoughts, how could he tell Uncle Tong? I wish he could No one knows that he will be able to bully the fifth princess. Wait, wait for that."

"Raw rice cooked cooked rice?"

"Yes! That's it! Then isn't he determined to be his consort?"

Hai Feng was really hesitant when Zhong Jihai said this.

"What if he doesn't tell anyone and can't reply to the letter?"

"Then he doesn't really like the fifth princess! If the woman he loves asks to meet, if the man doesn't go, what kind of lover is he?"

As a result, the letter was sent out the next morning, and Shun Anyan's reply, promising to meet, was sent back before lunch, and he wrote it very enthusiastically.

Hai Feng held the letter in worry and asked Ah Xiang:
"Uncle Tong Guo doesn't know?"

"I definitely don't know, my slave, I can still find out about this."

That would be difficult.

Fifth princess, should you keep the appointment?

Briefly explain the meaning of long night:
A widower refers to a man whose wife has died, that is, a widower who is left alone.

This word originally refers to a very large fish. Because the fish’s eyes do not close, it refers to a man who cannot sleep at night.

In ancient times, it alluded to a man who was lonely and unable to sleep because he had no wife.

The long night mentioned by Yuan Zhen in the poem means that he does not close his eyes, that is, the widower means that he will not remarry. Combined with the repayment in the next sentence, he has never raised his eyebrows in his life, and he intends to be single for the rest of his life to repay his wife for not caring about his own humble status. Married love.

However, the result was that not only did he remarry, but he also had many romantic affairs.

Not to mention that before Wei Cong, he had an unclear relationship with Cui Shuangwen, the prototype of Cui Yingying in The West Chamber.He also wrote this love story as The Story of Yingying, which was later changed into The Romance of the West Chamber.

Hmm. No matter how outstanding this person is in other aspects, I don't like him.
