Leisurely Four Fortunes

Chapter 185

"Congratulations to the fourth sister-in-law, you are the most blessed among our sisters-in-law."

Xiaoyi looked at the eighth younger sibling who spoke insincerely in front of her. Although her face was full of smiles, the tightly pulled veil still revealed her unwillingness.

She understood that when the rebels cleared up the previous two days, the Ba Age Mansion was bustling with people.The emperor is getting old day by day, the prince and Ba Ye are the two most likely to succeed to the throne.Now that the crown prince is about to fall, Ba Ye is the next emperor.Now flatter me, at least I'm familiar with it.

But who would have thought that the situation would turn around in less than a day.The imperial decree from outside the Great Wall clearly tells everyone: the exchange of a civet cat for the prince is not a legend, and reality is always more bloody than drama.

"Wang Fujin of Yongjun is blessed at first glance."

The old Fujins in the clan complimented, as soon as the emperor's imperial decree arrived, the masters and sons of each family had already tasted it.

Although the king of Yongjun has been quiet these years, no one thinks he is stupid.There are very few things that he has taken over in the past few years since he entered the court, but counting them down, everything that has been completed is very good.

So they realized: This is the one who has the real ability. When others fight for the head, he is unscathed.In the current situation, the emperor was exhausted by the princes fighting for the throne, and the prince's rebellion bent the last straw that supported him. Now he must like this kind of pure and filial son who does not fight or grab .

Except for a few who couldn't turn back, most people immediately followed suit.

"It's getting late, and Luanjia will be back tomorrow, so it's inconvenient for me to keep everyone."

The people who came here were all savvy, and after such an obvious order to chase away guests, they all left immediately.Looking at the clean mansion, Xiaoyi let out a long breath of relief.

The emperor didn't know what to think, but asked her to help deal with the affairs between the clan Fujin.

"Emiang, I think the situation is simpler than Amma imagined."

There was affirmation in Jin'er's voice, and Xiaoyi sat down.The day before yesterday, she received the imperial decree from the fourth master to be crowned prince, and she still hasn't recovered.

This is really the Kangxi who cherishes his feathers, he actually admitted the matter of changing sons back then, and he happily made the fourth master the prince.In this way, no one can criticize him anymore.

Because no matter in terms of status or succession conditions, fourth master is justified.Rumors such as tampering with the suicide note in the previous life and passing on the throne to the emperor's grandson are completely self-defeating.

"Yao'er pinched me, is that true?"

Yao'er started lightly and controlled her strength.Jin'er frowned, and looked at Eniang helplessly, how could she think so.

"Hiss, it hurts, it really is true. But it's really weird for you Huang Mafa to do this."

Xin'er, who had been silently looking at the account book, raised her head: "It's nothing strange. He understands very well that when people mention Emperor Kangxi, they will only say that he wisely chose an heir and created the Huaxia Wanshi Foundation. As for this flaw, it will It is said to be decisive and decisive."

It's really like this, the benefits of speaking out are much more than not speaking.

"So now, what shall we do?"

Jin'er sat cross-legged: "We just need to sit in the mansion and wait for Ama to become emperor and Erniang to be queen. Yes, maybe now we can choose the titles of my sister and me."

After finishing speaking, she held her chin and looked distressed: "What should I choose, those titles are so ugly now. Xin'er, you Li family members are talented, help me choose."

Xiaoyi was also taken out of her thoughts, and quickly joined the discussion.Until bedtime, still inconclusive.Being carried back to the room by the nanny, Jin'er glanced at her younger brother and sighed silently.

In fact, it's not that simple, but with her around, those with small thoughts can't make things happen.Er Niang has been worrying about her second brother's illness for the past few days, so let her have a good rest.

**
While Xiao Yi breathed a sigh of relief, Hongli huddled in a corner on a nailed airtight carriage of the return team.

"It's all your good deeds!"

The prince knew that he was doomed, and now he hated this son to death.If it wasn't for him to kill the eighteenth brother, he wouldn't have put all his eggs in one basket and ended up being imprisoned by now.

The princess's eyes were blank, she knew that the prince was hopeless.Now she is thinking about how to get her two daughters out.As for Hongli, life or death has nothing to do with her.

From then on, Hongli began to live in dire straits.The imprisoned prince finds him the most unpleasant, he must be tortured physically after drinking, even the servants in the courtyard don't care about him, and poverty and illness accompany him all his life.

**
Early the next morning, Luan drove back to the court.As a female relative, Xiaoyi only needs to wait in peace.

"Sifu Jin, my master sent a servant here to tell you that he is staying in the palace."

Su Peisheng went home first, and Xiaoyi picked up his son beside him.Seeing that although Hongchen's face had lost a lot of weight, his whole complexion was ruddy and he was full of energy, he was finally relieved.

"How is Huang Ama now?"

Su Peisheng shook his head and lowered his voice: "I can't get up anymore, my master stayed in the palace to handle government affairs on his behalf."

Xiaoyi really didn't expect it to be like this, Kangxi was a very long-lived emperor in her previous life.But now it's only 44 years, it's still a long time before his body declines.

Could this be a trick against fourth master?

"Chun Xing, find someone to wait outside Doctor Li's residence. Once he comes back, invite him to see Hong Chen again."

Chun Xing went to arrange the manpower according to her words, and before Xiao Yi could ask her son a few words, a report was sent outside that officials from the Ministry of Rituals came to the mansion to inquire about the size of the fourth master's clothes, so that they could be used as a sacrifice to the crown prince.

Canonizing the crown prince is not a trivial matter. She was busy until the afternoon, and she finally got an answer from Li Taiyi.On a whole piece of white paper, a cross was drawn with ink.

The emperor really can't do it.

Although she couldn't figure out the reason, Xiaoyi knew that it was not important anymore.As long as the fourth master ascends the throne, everything will be fine, but before that, she has to keep a close eye on the mansion to prevent any mistakes.

**
For the next half month, the Yongjun Palace fell into complete hectic activity.Xiaoyi and her sons and daughters don't touch the ground.

But the master in the mansion is even busier.He was so busy that he went on a tour of Beijing for half a month, and he didn't even have time to return home.Occasionally, there are only a few words, not even a clear handwriting.

"Ama has been here for so many days, why hasn't she come back?"

Chen'er said with some embarrassment, this time he fell ill, Ama has been by his side to take care of him, he knows all about it.After all, he is a child, no matter how smart he is, he still panics after not seeing him for so long, what will happen to Ama.

Xiaoyi climbed out of the account book, hiding the anxiety on her face: "He should be back soon."

Looking out the window, she thought about the movement in the capital these past few days.Elder Eighteen's health miraculously improved, but at the same time, Kangxi, who had been weak all the time, did not receive any good news.

The princes took turns to serve the sick, and even the elder brother who was practicing the navy on the southeast coast rushed back.As the prince's fourth master, he always waited on him all day long.

"Chun Xing, is everything arranged?"

Hearing the affirmative answer, Xiaoyi rubbed her forehead.Fourth master actually blamed the bubonic plague on foreigners.She understood his intentions, and under her daughter's guidance, she fully cooperated.

"Tomorrow is the day to confer crown prince, Er Niang should rest earlier."

"Well, it's almost as busy as this, you all go to rest, and you must cheer up tomorrow."

Xiaoyi lay on the Babu bed, extremely tired, but it was difficult to fall asleep no matter what.

**
The Qianqing Palace in the Forbidden City was brightly lit, waves of imperial physicians came in and out, shaking their heads one after another.

"The emperor suffered a fundamental injury in the early years, and has never recuperated. This time, the anger is too much, and I am afraid that the situation is not good."

Kangxi on the bed opened his eyes weakly: "How long is it?"

"Slaves are guilty."

"How long, I forgive you for your innocence."

The imperial doctor knelt on the ground, his eyes were full of death: "Use the best ginseng to hang it, just these few days..."

"Okay, Li Dequan, go and call those people outside."

The princes are all guarding the side hall, and the coefficient will expire in a moment.Fourth master knelt in the front, looking at the weak Huang Ama, tears could not help but come to his eyes.

At this time, he only remembered the good things about his father.Although he was the best to the prince, he was not short of anything to these brothers.He tried his best to love each son.

"Old Ba, from now on you will be transferred from the Ministry of Officials and go to the Ministry of Rites to practice."

One sentence actually erased all the accumulation of the eighth elder brother in the past few years, and the faces of the ninth and tenth elder brothers turned red.But remembering what Concubine Yi told them, comparing the fourth brother with the prince, they still endured it.

"Boss, you are capable in war, but you are indeed lacking in handling political affairs. From now on, take your fifth and fourteenth brothers with you. Third, don't let go of your book repairs. Seventh and twelve, follow your third brother well... .”

Kangxi spoke intermittently, actually pointing out the strengths of each son.It is now 44 years, and Jiulong has just seen the signs of seizing the throne. All the princes' eyes were red when they heard these words.

"Huang Ama, my son misses you."

"Who are you going to teach your son how to archery?"

Fourth master lowered his head, but the tears couldn't stop falling.Huang Ama's move is paving the way for him.Thinking of what he asked him to do a few days ago, now he has an urge to run out and tell Xiaoyi that the plan has run aground.

"Let's all fight, no one will die. I called you here today to tell you that the illness of me and your eighteenth brother is a conspiracy of those foreigners."

When Kangxi said this at the beginning, others might believe it or not.But now, no one has the slightest doubt.

"Huang Ama, I'll chop up those missionaries."

"Fourteenth brother, tenth brother is with you."

Seeing such a son, Kangxi smiled gratifiedly.He began to doubt the scene that Hongli said, each of these sons was looking forward to his death, but he had no choice but to hand over the throne to his grandson, which was simply too absurd.

Anyway, he was about to die, and using his own death to fight for a reasonable reason for future generations was really the best.Looking at the trembling fourth child again, although this son has his own schemes, he is still filial after all.

Having said so many words in one breath, he felt his physical strength draining away rapidly.He raised his head and looked out the window, the sky was full of stars, he was going to see his mother.

"Remember, keep this country."

After saying the last sentence, he lowered his hands weakly, but he didn't make a sound anymore.

"Doctor, come in quickly."

**
Before falling asleep, Xiaoyi heard a bell ringing in the distance.

It's death knell!
For a moment she couldn't believe it, Kangxi died like this?After getting dressed, she began to order the mansion to tear down all festive decorations, and the children also wore sackcloth and filial piety.

"Sifujin, the imperial concubine invites you to attend the funeral in the palace."

**
Kangxi's funeral was very grand. He reigned for a long time and the Qing Dynasty was relatively prosperous, so the mausoleum was very luxurious.On the second day after the coffin was suspended, the original canonization ceremony for the crown prince directly became the enthronement ceremony.

Kangxi's funeral had just been completed, and the old queen mother couldn't bear the pain of a white-haired man sending a black-haired man away, so she died in her sleep.

**
One month later

Wearing plain white clothes, Xiaoyi stood on the city wall with Fourth Master, looking at the mountains in the distance.

"Is Grandpa tired?"

At this time, the fourth master is already dressed in a dragon robe, and Xiaoyi has just been conferred the title of empress.Compared with the semi-old man in his 40s in his previous life, he is at the best time of his life when he is not yet [-] years old.The tall body made Xiaoyi feel dizzy.

"Fortunately, I'm going to transfer Wuge back to deal with foreigners."

"I don't know what my brother is capable of. My concubine thinks that Duoxihui is more suitable, so I send him to be under Lord Ertai to study for two years before talking about it."

It's good not to seize power or greed for power, fourth master is more satisfied.

"It's all up to you. It's inconvenient to go to war during the national mourning period. Let him practice for a few years first."

There was another long silence between the husband and wife.

After a while, a gust of wind blew by, fourth master turned his head and looked at her gentle face.Like a tacit understanding, Xiaoyi also turned her head to the side, seeing the unconcealed friendship in his eyes, her heart was touched for a while.

Life is too short, maybe she will go there at any time, she should cherish the present even more.

Holding his hand, she raised a bright smile, just like when she was first married in her previous life.Unbroken feelings, everything is silent.
