Emperor Kangxi sent me to marry

This day is undoubtedly worthy of being written into the history books.

Although on the surface it looks like just an ordinary day.

The horse market in Zhangjiakou opened early in the morning on time.

The dark clouds of national mourning drifted from Guihua to Zhangjiakou, and there was only a little light smoke left. It was still stamped by horses and oxen, and had nothing to do with the announcement from the Yamen. Before dawn, a few drops of drizzle passed by, and the grass in the trough became greener. The stone road was dirty, with footprints of people and various livestock.

The emperor is gone, and the lives of ordinary people must continue as usual. The sun will rise, and people will be hungry if they don’t eat. If they don’t make money, the whole family won’t be able to survive.

Therefore, in addition to not daring to laugh out loud, everyone still carefully estimated the age of the animals, checked their health, and bargained in copper coins.

The noisy cries can be heard from any distance.

Haifeng was pregnant and couldn't stand the smell of livestock. She sat in a private room on the highest floor of a nearby restaurant and watched the horse market that she had personally ordered to open. Originally, there were a few die-hard bureaucrats in the capital who objected on the grounds of national mourning. Haifeng pushed them back with a few words, and even extended the original deadline by one day.

This restaurant is one of the properties invested and opened by Haifeng. As the boss, this is the first time in so many years that he has seen the royal princess with his own eyes. Moreover, this princess is also his boss. He is so excited that he doesn’t know what to do. He goes upstairs and downstairs. Run away and collect things for worship.

Haifeng actually didn't dare to eat outside, so he ordered the shopkeeper to stop being busy and come in to answer the question.

The shopkeeper was dressed like a groom, brand new from head to toe, and he knelt on the ground respectfully.

"The common people send their regards to Her Royal Highness the Princess."

On behalf of Haifeng, Axiang helped the shopkeeper stand up and asked a few important questions first.

"Has the prince's room been prepared? Are the other big shopkeepers here? Where's the money you can collect?"

"Yes, yes, wait a minute, girl, I'll say the same thing. The prince lives in a three-bedroom house. It's not very grand in Zhangjiakou. The house is certainly not as good as the ones in the capital, but the inside is well decorated according to the orders of the government. The shopkeepers are all waiting on the second floor, and they have collected 800,000 taels of silver."

Haifeng was just afraid that he wouldn't have enough money to bribe the officials, so he wanted to ask the shops in Zhangjiakou to prepare some cash for emergencies. He was shocked when he heard this amount.

"Don't you want to close your business? If you take out all the money, how will the store turn over? The amount written in the letter should be three hundred thousand taels."

The shopkeeper was afraid of saying the wrong thing, so he clutched his handkerchief tightly and answered.

"Going back to Your Highness the Princess, we are all sincere and want to do more for Your Highness. With Your Highness's care over the years, Zhangjiakou's business has been prosperous and our wife is in peace. The prince came here a few days ago and before leaving, he asked us to be prepared. Blue and white cloth, as soon as the news of the national mourning came, the cloth was sold out in two or three days, and everyone made a lot of money. It is not difficult to honor His Highness with the money."

Haifeng complimented the shopkeeper and planned to go to the second floor to meet the team of senior managers working for her here. However, there was a commotion downstairs that attracted her attention.

"This horse is so energetic!"

"I have been dealing in livestock all my life, and I have never seen such a good horse!"

The center of the merchants' sighs was Duobu's horse, which was casually tied to the signboard at the entrance of the restaurant. The shopkeeper hurriedly went down to inquire. After a while, he ran up panting and answered the question.

"Your Highness, the prince is here. He is on the second floor, toasting with the shopkeepers. Your Majesty, please don't work. He is enough for you."

"I know, you go down and have a drink too."

Haifeng asked Axiang to straighten her hair again and looked at herself in the mirror seven or eight times.

There was the sound of people going up the stairs outside the door. The steps were firm and strong, brisk and rhythmic. Axiang pursed her lips and smiled, opened the door in advance, and said hello to Duobu.

"Good luck to you. My master has been waiting all morning and is concerned about your success on the road."

Duobu strode into the private room, and Axiang wisely hid and looked at the door, then locked the door from the outside.

Hai Feng saw that his expression was unpredictable, showing neither happiness nor anger, so he spoke first to break the awkward silence.

"This time I give birth to a son, how about we come up with the word 'good'?"

Dobu still said nothing, sat down as calmly as water, and picked out a few sugar-coated peanuts from the small plates on the table to eat.

Since she didn't want to lose face, Haifeng simply took it back and drank her sweet osmanthus soup in small sips.

After lingering for a long time, Duobu let out a long sigh, wiped off the crumbs of sugar on his hands, and stared at Haifeng opposite him and asked.

"So, I have to be single for another year?"

Haifeng was choked by these words for a long time, and couldn't help bursting into laughter.

"Oh, that's why I'm unhappy."

"What do you mean 'just for this'? How important this is! Is there anything more important than this?"

"Why not? You don't care about Longkodo's affairs, the throne's affairs, what will happen to Laoba and his wife in the future, just the four or five things that are right in front of you?"

"No matter how difficult it is to deal with, there is always a way out there. This."

Duobu pointed at Haifeng's belly angrily.

"There's nothing I can do about it. I can only wait until you are born. It's really annoying. I'll beat Longke more later to vent my anger. It's him who caused the trouble. How well I controlled it! I've only had two years of comfortable life. Here comes another kid.”

Dobu grumbled happily, then sat over and rubbed Haifeng's hands up and down with restraint for more than half an hour before his rising anger gradually subsided.

Haifeng turned into a pool of spring water under his fingertips. He was a little out of breath when he spoke. "Tong Guowei agreed?"

"What are you worried about when I do things? If the old man doesn't agree, are you going to let Longkodo make the entire Tong family so tired that they can't stand up?"

While the whole Zhangjiakou was attracted by the lively horse market, Haifeng and Duobu tried their best to avoid the eyes and ears of the world, went downstairs, got on the carriage, and went to the house prepared by the restaurant owner to rest.

Longkodo, who had been beaten several times, was also transferred here for custody in advance.

Afraid that the fourth princess would be disgusted by Longkodo's nakedness and festering wounds, the owner of the restaurant thoughtfully put on clothes for him. This move made Longkodo misunderstand, thinking that his death date was today, so he simply broke the pot and sat cross-legged on the haystack to wait for death.

True to his word, Duobu first broke Longko's joints, using the most painful technique. But he didn't want Haifeng to hear the piercing scream, so he blocked Longkodo's mouth with a rag.

It hurts, but I can't scream, and the pain is doubled.

Haifeng sat outside the door for a while, then Duobu opened the door, and then she walked into the woodshed that served as a temporary prison cell.

Axiang moved a chair in and Haifeng sat on it. As soon as he opened his mouth, Longkodo was shocked as he was rolling on the ground.

"Don't worry, I don't intend to kill you."

Duo Bu took off the rag and the joy of escaping from the dead made Longkodo temporarily forget the pain that roamed his body.

"Aren't you angry? No, even if you don't kill me, where is the new emperor's eighth brother? How could he let me go and let the Tong family go?"

"This is quite smart. Your other abilities are mediocre, but your ability to reincarnate is brilliant, which saved your life. I need the Tong family, so I am willing to save you. Listen carefully. The new emperor is Sibeile. You and Tong The pardon of the family will be given to him after he ascends the throne."

There was so much news pouring in at once that Longkodo couldn't react at all. Haifeng took out the edict of succession written by Zhang Yu and unfolded it for him to read.

"Look, do you believe it? Zhang Yushu was just sent to the capital for reading a few days ago. When I came out, I took it with me."

Longkodo knew very well what kind of temper Sibeile had, and he did not feel relaxed immediately.

"Thankfully, you are still a biological sister, but you don't understand him. Sibeile will not forgive me. He will make impassioned speeches in the Qianqing Palace, cite scriptures, and scold me as a sinner of this dynasty. Ling Chi cannot atone for his sins."

"He will. You will be forgiven, and I will become the princess of the country, holding the power of the government. Shut your stinky mouth and listen carefully."

Axiang delivered a large package and opened it in front of Longkodo. Longkodo recognized several of the ornaments as belonging to Sibeile and was shocked.

"Where did you get it?"

"Of course it's on him. You will set off on horseback later to go to the Palace of Naturalization. This injury looks quite decent. When you arrive, the eighth prince will help you in. When you meet Wu Jun and the other bachelors, he will tell you directly , you found Sibeile, and you almost lost your life trying to save him."

"but I……"

Haifeng waved his hand impatiently, signaling Longko to shut up.

"You don't deserve to know where he is. Wu Yu and the others will be very happy, so you can use Si Beile's whereabouts to ask them for a pardon promise to save the Tong family and yourself. Based on my understanding of Wu Yu, he I probably won’t talk to you to death, I’ll just say that everything will be decided after Si Beile comes back. Listen up, the next thing is the most important thing.”

Longkodo reflexively swallowed the non-existent saliva, and Hai Feng also felt a little throbbing in his heart, standing in front of victory.

"You have to tell them that Sibeile was injured by the Junggar bandits. Both hands are disabled and cannot move at all."

After repeating this sentence several times, Longkodo felt the blood flowing back through his body and his body trembled uncontrollably.

"You, you crippled his hand! You vicious woman! He, he is your brother!"

Humph, but he still wants to kill me.

Haifeng was not shaken at all by Longkodo's accusation. Among all the princesses from ancient times to the present, she is definitely not among the most vicious ones.

"If you dislike this evil woman's idea, you can just die here until you starve to death."

Longkodo was immediately stunned by these words and did not dare to speak loudly to the fourth princess.

"Then, what should we do next? What if they force me to reveal the whereabouts of Four Belles?"

"No. You have a good Ama, and he has taken care of everything. In the end, Wu Jun will pardon you on behalf of Si Beile. You don't have to worry about the rest."

Next, the Naturalization Palace will mobilize in full force, and everyone will be sent out to find the heir to the throne.

Next, everyone from the first-rank officials to the feudal officials, down to the petty officials in charge of tax collection in the capital, will all participate in the discussion intensely, discussing whether Sibeile, who can't even get approval, can succeed to the throne.

And this figure who stood at the center of the political storm was lying in the cellar of this house in despair, with nothing but a quick death on his mind.

In ten minutes, he will live like the most disgusting person he has ever been.

Standing in front of the fourth sister he had persecuted, he respectfully admitted defeat.

Then he was canonized with a princess with real power to control the country, in exchange for a Yongzheng reign title.

But he didn't know that such a painful concession was just an appetizer.

A more brutal struggle for power is still waiting behind.
