Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 1066
Although they are not as noble as the masters and wives in the palace, when it comes to body and appearance, they are not inferior to those in the palace.Not to mention that the two beautiful concubines were bought from Yangzhou, and they both have a pair of golden lotus.

If the emperor's master had seen the taste of Yangzhou women, he might follow the example of the former emperor and start accepting Han concubines.

Su Peisheng had known for a long time that his master was not so pure-hearted and ascetic as he seemed, but he never thought that he would do this.

Such a disregard for human relations, it is an ordinary family... Such a private matter, but he does not avoid himself, if there are gossips spread, I am afraid that he will be the first to die...

Thinking of this, Su Peisheng was shocked, broke out in a cold sweat, and looked around cautiously...

Zhongcui Palace, Xinuang Pavilion.

Empress Ulanara was wearing a dark red flower cheongsam that was probably new, and she was sitting on the edge of the kang.

On the ground, there was an old eunuch bent over and kneeling.

Hearing the old eunuch's whispered report, the queen sighed faintly, and said, "Eunuch Gu, get up quickly, it's hard for you to handle it properly, so that this palace can save me a lot of worry."

The old eunuch responded, carefully waiting for the queen's order.

The queen was silent for a long time, Fang said: "Be careful, don't ask anyone to spy on the emperor."

The old eunuch respectfully responded, and then he followed the order and retreated.

The narrator stood by a nanny, whose maiden name was Lu, who was the Queen's confidant. After the old eunuch withdrew, she was puzzled and said, "Master, isn't this the one from Yikun Palace who is taking advantage of you? It's becoming more and more unseemly, not only pretending to be sick She came to pay her respects to the master, and even asked someone to inquire before the imperial court. Now that this happened again, it is time for her to be taught a lesson."

"Even if trouble breaks out, so what? She has a good brother. Even if the emperor is tired of her in his heart, he will not lose her face." The queen smiled bitterly: "In the end, the unlucky one is the other one."

Speaking of this, Nanny Lu curled her lips and said, "I thought she was honest, but I didn't expect to do such a despicable thing."

The queen frowned when she heard this, and said: "Forbidden! From now on, this matter will be rotten in my stomach. If even the slightest bit falls into the eyes of the emperor, I will not be able to protect you."

Nanny Lu was originally the queen's dowry maid, she was handed over to the servants of the palace when she was old, and she returned to serve the queen after she became a widow.

She had seen the emperor's cold methods before, her heart was agitated, and she immediately stopped talking.

The queen raised her head and looked at the empty palace, as if she was talking to herself, but also as if she was talking to Nanny Lu: "Since the emperor loves you, pretend not to know, what's the point if it's fulfilled? Just be more It’s good to have a poodle, which can make the emperor relax. It won’t grab fame, and it won’t have children. It’s not much better than a newcomer. Although I don’t care about these things, Concubine Xi is submissive, and so is Hongli. A filial and sensible person, for the sake of their mother and son, I have to think more..."

On this day, Zhong Cui Gong died of illness and a palace lady died. A young eunuch in the Hall of Mental Cultivation violated the palace rules and was sentenced to another place after being punished with a stick.

These two events were like two small water droplets, without causing a single ripple.

A few days later, the empress suspends her green head card in the name of Nian Shi, the noble concubine of Zhongcui Palace, suffering from an illness.

Although Nian is fond of him, he is mainly weak and weak when acting in front of the imperial court, and he does not dare to resort to aggressive methods.After living in the concubine for many years, she has long realized that even if she is favored again, she will not be able to shake Nala's status.

The emperor deserves the word "respect" for his wife.

Many people were waiting to watch the excitement. One was the empress of the Yuan Dynasty, and the other was the favored imperial concubine. She suffered from the previous year's family name, but she had a good brother, and an elder brother was beside her.The queen has no children, and her natal family is not visible. If it is discussed, she may not be able to compete with the Guo Nian family.

Nian's reaction was amazing, not only closed the palace honestly to "recover from illness", but also sent people to Zhongcui Palace to "thank you".

Yongzheng knew that Nian's body was weak.Therefore, he didn't even have doubts about the queen's handling.

He was already used to leaving the inner palace to the Queen to take care of, as he did when he was in the palace, and did not interfere with palace affairs.This is also his respect for his wife.

Only Su Peisheng noticed that something was wrong. Just as a maid "died of illness" in the imperial concubine palace over there, the queen here withdrew the green card, which looked more like punishment.

Although the noble concubine looked docile, she was unwilling to suffer.Now to be honest and obedient, I don't know if I have a "guilty heart"?
Although he was a bit puzzled, Su Peisheng didn't intend to talk too much.Over the years, Nianshi has wooed him privately and gave him a lot of good things. Although he accepted them all, he didn't intend to speak for Nianshi.

The emperor is a sensible person, and the queen is also a sensible person. How could these two masters be fooled by others... As for the noble concubine, no matter how high the grade is, she is only a concubine...

Cao's family, Xifu.

Seeing Tianyou's return, Li Shi and Chu Yu were overjoyed.

"Oh, it's dark and thin, but it's hard for my eldest grandson to drive in this cold weather." Mrs. Li took his hand, touched here, pinched there again, and said distressedly.

Tianyou raised his arms, tightened them, and said with a smile, "Grandmother, grandson is getting stronger. Before, the flesh was weak, but now it's grown."

Mrs. Li hugged him in her arms, rubbed him for a long time before letting go, and said: "Let your mother take a good look at it, she is thinking about you these days. If you don't come home again, you will send people to go to the northwest Welcome."

No wonder Mrs. Li and Chu Yu were concerned, they had already inquired about the news from Prince Zhuang's residence, and knew that they left Ganzhou to return to Beijing in early September.I thought they would be able to go to the capital at the end of September or early October, but unexpectedly it was delayed until the end of the ten days.

But thinking that he came back with Seventeenth Elder Brother, Li Shi said again: "Fortunately, Seventeenth Master is here, or else you and Second Elder Brother are two and a half older children, which is even more worrying."

After Tianyou heard this, he cursed in his heart, if he hadn't met Elder Seventeen during the break, and was later "dragged" by Elder Seventeen, he would have arrived in the capital a long time ago.

Chu Yu stared at her son intently, with a smile on her face, but her eye circles were red.

Seeing this, Tianyou softened his heart, and said, "It's the child's unfilial piety that makes the wife worry."

Chu Yu shook her head and said, "You are very good. The master even praised you in the letter. He said that you are very sensible. If it wasn't for the fear of delaying your studies, the master would like to keep you in the Northwest for a little longer."

When Tianyou heard this, his heart fell.

Along the way, he had already figured out why his father sent him back early.It is definitely not because of his studies. The rural examination in February next year was announced to the world last year.

My father had known for a long time that before taking him out of Beijing, he asked him what he meant, and then he took him out of Beijing.

In the end, he and Hong Pu were still worried about their safety, so they sent them back.The reason why he lost a lot was not because of traveling, but because he was worried about his father.

Thinking of the fearful days in Ganzhou after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Tianyou clenched his fists and smiled a little: "Madam, is Aunt Qi's wedding lively? This time in the northwest, my son met Aunt Qi's father-in-law. With uncle."

When Chu Yu heard this, she couldn't help frowning, because she had many scruples in front of her mother-in-law, and said, "It's lively, your uncles even asked about you. From now on, we will be relatives with the Nian family, don't shorten the etiquette to let others see joke."

"Yes, my son knows." Tianyou responded obediently.

At this moment, Changsheng, Tianhu, and Tianyang also got the news, asked for leave from their husbands, and came to see Tianyou.Tianhui and Niuniu also came here together.

When the little ones met each other, they chirped and chattered, which made Lan Yuan a lot more angry.

When Zuo Zhu's brothers left school and Hang Seng came out from the palace, there was another excitement.

The reception banquet is held in the upper room of the orchid courtyard.

Listening to Tianyou talking about the local customs and customs they have seen and heard during this trip, the children couldn't take their eyes off their eyes, their faces were full of envy, and they said that they wanted to go out too.

Tianyou listened with a smile. After this experience, he has grown up a lot.

He has a modest personality, and he has met many dignitaries in Beijing, and some of his classmates are rude because of their family background.But he never thought that he would face the threat of "family ruin and death".

He looked at the women and children in this room, but the shadow of his father appeared in his mind.

Father is the pillar of the Cao family.If something happened to father... Tianyou didn't dare to think about it...

In the young man's heart, there was suddenly a strong hatred.

After dinner, Chu Yu called his son to Wutong Garden and asked about the northwest.She knew that there was a rift between her husband and the Nian family, and she was afraid that her husband would suffer a loss when he was away.

How could Tianyou dare to tell the truth to make her worry, he only picked up nice things to say.

As soon as he came back, he was about to resume his studies at Qi Xue.

However, before going to Qi School, he first went to Prince Chun's Mansion and Prince Zhuang's Mansion.Going to Prince Chun's Mansion is to greet my grandfather and grandmother; going to Prince Zhuang's Mansion is to complain about "grievances" to Elder Sixteen.

Although Cao's family is related to Prince Chun's House, Prince Ping's House, and Prince Zhuang's House, God You knows that my father does not avoid Elder Sixteen for some things.The other two palaces, on the contrary, have to rely on some matters.

"Grandpa, grandpa, grandson is worried about father!" Tianyou said with red eyes the moment he saw elder brother Sixteen.

Last night when Hongpu returned home, Elder Sixteen had already asked about the details of Ganzhou.

It's just that Hongpu was so angry that he brought his own likes and dislikes into his words, which made Brother Sixteen a little confused.

Now that Tianyou came, Elder Sixteen listened to him tell the story again.

"Even if it wasn't Nian Gengyao's envoy, it was unforgivable. My grandson later asked two local people in private, and found out that the bandit was a very cruel person. If my father was really tricked, the consequences would be unimaginable. I am afraid that even my grandson You and my little uncle won't be able to see grandpa..." Tianyou said with a bit of depression.

Elder Sixteen's face was gloomy, and he said angrily: "The bastard really thinks he is a dish! What is it?!"

"Grandpa, my father is working in the Northwest now, what if I suffer a loss?" Tianyou said very worriedly.

Elder Sixteen couldn't sit still anymore, got up and said: "I really don't believe it, is he really going against the sky? There is nothing to be afraid of, your father is the only one who can take care of other people, and others can't take care of him. I'm going to enter now." Gong, always want that old boy to look good..."

*
Northwest, Ganzhou.

Cao Yong watched and escorted the horses, grain, leather jackets, dried meat and other teams away, not without doubts in his heart.

Originally thought that the current imperial court was only a deterrent, and Nian Gengyao led troops to station in Xining to intimidate the Qinghai tribes. They would have to wait until the spring of next year before dispatching a large army to quell the rebellion.

Unexpectedly, the army was scheduled to be dispatched years ago...
