Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 1208 The Six Frames of Prince Jian's Mansion

After listening to the sixteen elder brother's determination, Cao Yong finally let go of his heart.

After all, she is marrying into a master, not into the royal family. Even if there is an extra Prince Fujin, it will not be enough to make the royal family afraid.

Prince Yu's mansion won the title twice in three years, and even if Guanglu took the title, he would just live his life honestly.The cousins ​​and elder brothers of this sect can't be counted on, and the distant sect can't get in touch for a while, so they will never neglect their wives.

From this point of view, Fourth Sister is really a blessed person.

Seeing Cao Yong smiling at Mimi, Elder Sixteen glanced at him and said, "If the emperor really refers to Fu Jin, what will happen to Fu Ruo?"

Cao Yong's expression froze and he was speechless.

If there is such a will, as a subject, he has no room to refuse.It's just that even if the cousin is a concubine, she can't be easily treated lightly. If she is really made things difficult, her mother's side will come forward.

It's just that it's meaningless.

If the name is not correct and the words are not right, my nephew will live under the direct line of the royal family as a concubine or concubine.

Perhaps after arriving in this world, Cao Yong lived as the eldest son and grandson, and was used to considering issues from the direct line.

For those who are distinguished by direct lineage, Cao Yong is enlightened, and never despises those who are concubines;

The eldest son inheritance system is good for families and countries in this era, stability is the most important thing.Once the identity is established, the situation of rivalry among the princes is curbed.

Elder Sixteen's expression also became more serious, and he said in a low voice: "Your family's fifth daughter is the concubine of Hongli, here, in the future...if there is a little elder brother, what will happen to the Cao family..."

Cao Yong only felt his eyelids twitch. If the general direction of history remains the same and Qianlong lives to 88, then even if Wu'er gives birth to the top prince, he will not be able to afford it.

Unless, Qianlong did something earlier...

"It's all about nothing, how did the sixteenth master talk about this?" This question is hard to answer, Cao Yong can only laugh.

Brother Sixteen glanced at Cao Yong and said, "Huh, there are always times when you can't calm down..."

I don't know if there was a daughter of the Cao family who was a concubine in the original history, but Cao Yong remembered clearly that the one who succeeded Qianlong was a fifteenth prince born in his later years.

The princes in front died of illness, and the successors died of illness, and few of them survived until Qianlong abdicated.

It is not uncommon in the past dynasties that foreign relatives support the prince to seize the heir apparent, and it is not a suitable business.

Most of the princes who ascended to the emperor's throne would clean up their mother's family when they turned around.

After all, if he was really humane and soft-hearted, he wouldn't be able to get that position.

The father's brother, father and son are all ruthless. It would be too nonsense to talk about human feelings only to the mother.

Cao Yong has always been lazy, how could he bother?Although he has never met Suo'etu and Mingzhu, he is familiar with the deeds of those two.

But, is the world really as smooth as Cao Yong thought?
If history really turned a corner, what will happen to Cao Yong?

At this moment, among the two people in the carriage, one said it casually and the other took it as a joke, but they forgot what it meant to be "one word becomes a prophecy".

Seeing Elder Sixteen smiling, Cao Yong suddenly felt something was wrong.

There is no taboo between the two of them, but Elder Sixteen is not a random person.

"There is news from Shu Fu Jin?" Cao Yong asked.

Elder Sixteen shook his head and said: "No, it's just that another concubine Jin of Elder Brother had a happy pulse. The news reported that the emperor and empress were in front of them. Both of them were very happy and rewarded that concubine Jin heavily. People in the palace are used to exalting the high and trampling the low, and the life of the fifth girl may be difficult."

Hongli is sixteen this year, and there are already two concubines and concubines around him, but none of the palace servants are pregnant, which makes the emperor and empress very worried.

Especially after the emperor got seriously ill this autumn, he attached great importance to Hongli and Hongzhou's heirs.

In this year's draft, for the sake of the face of the prince's wife Fujin, apart from correcting the wives of the two princes, he did not point out the side Fujin, but there are several Ge Ge and concubines.

Although the fame is not high, it is obvious that the emperor is looking forward to the early success of the two princes.

Even if the status is low, if the emperor's grandson is born at this time, he will be famous in front of the imperial court.Even if Fujin enters the palace next year, he should be more polite to the emperor's biological mother.

Cao Yong was not worried about Wu'er, if Wu'er really gave birth to Hongli's eldest son, it would be on the cusp.

"With Master Sixteen taking care of you, even if you are sad, where can you be sad?" Cao Yong laughed.

Seeing Cao Yong's magnanimity, Elder Sixteen couldn't help shaking his head and said: "The fourth girl has become Prince Fujin. The Cao family's prominence is not in the present, but in the future. Unless the fifth girl doesn't give birth to the emperor's grandson, the Cao family will always mess up." Those who go in should be more or less aware of it.”

This is a sincere warning, Cao Yong restrained his smile, and nodded solemnly.

As soon as he spoke, the carriage had already arrived at Cao's mansion.

Cao Yong had already sent someone back to communicate, so when the sixteenth elder brother followed Cao Yong into the Orchid Courtyard, Mrs. Li had already changed her clothes and was waiting under the porch, while Chuyu was standing behind her mother-in-law.Standing next to her was a young girl of thirteen or fourteen, with delicate eyebrows and graceful figure.

Seeing the sixteenth elder brother arriving, Mrs. Li bowed down and bowed down.

Seeing this, the sixteenth elder brother hurriedly took a few steps, stepped forward to support Li Shi, and said: "How many times have I said that Mrs. Tai is still so polite, isn't it a shame for me?"

The elder sister and the younger brother of the two were acquainted, so Elder Sixteen helped Mrs. Li and entered the house together.

"I wanted to go to pay my respects to the concubine, but I didn't dare to act lightly. I didn't expect that the concubine still remembered my old birthday, so she sent Xiangyu here." Mrs. Li pointed to the girl and said gratefully.

That's right, this girl is exactly Li Xiangyu who was selected into the palace a few years ago.

Brother Sixteen smiled and said: "That girl has been with Er Niang for several years, and Er Niang likes it very much. Now even Brother Fifteen and I have to stay behind. Er Niang said that since she was taken out of the palace, it should have been early in the morning. Arrange for her to be reunited with her family apart from her palace status. But she really loves this girl and wants to stay for another two years. If Mrs. Tai doesn't worry about Er Niang robbing her, Er Niang said that this girl's life is also entrusted to Er Niang."

These words involved Xiangyu's life, Xiangyu couldn't stay any longer, she blushed and pulled Chuyu's sleeve, said in a low voice, and backed out.

Concubine Mi was originally an in-law of the Li family, and was sent to the imperial court by Li Xu. She was always grateful to the Li family.

Treating Xiangyu so favorably is due to Xiangyu's submissiveness, obedience and loveliness, but most of them still think about the old love of the Li family and want to repay one or two.

Although she went out of the palace to take care of her, the fifteenth elder brother was in a delicate situation, and she didn't like to help the Li family blatantly.

Mrs. Li knew it in her heart, and she already showed some gratitude on her face, and said: "It is this girl's blessing to be favored by the concubine, and it is too late for me to be happy, so why bother?"

The birthday gift given by Concubine Mi was delivered by two nuns in the morning, and Xiangyu arrived at that time.

Brother Sixteen went down first and then came over in person. Although he had explained to Xiangyu, he also gave Li Shi face.

That night, Elder Sixteen had dinner with Mrs. Li, which was an early birthday greeting.

Xiangyu stayed at Cao's house, and returned to the fifteenth elder brother's house ten days later.

Early the next morning, Cao Yong dressed neatly, and the whole family went to Lan Yuan to pay their respects.

Mrs. Li changed into a maroon flag dress with the pattern of longevity, with the pattern of "Five Blessings Holding Longevity" embroidered on the front and hem, and a long hairpin inlaid with beads inlaid with Wanfu and Longevity on her head, making her look more loving and peaceful.

Even if you don't invite outside guests, but only relatives and friends, many people will come to celebrate birthday today.

Cao Yong also entered the palace to congratulate Wanshou, and had to go to the Yamen to make a round before returning, so he handed over the hospitality to Tianyou and Hang Seng.

Tianyou and Hang Seng listened carefully, and after sending their father out, they went to find a few housekeepers to discuss the matter of welcoming guests.

Today is Lee's 59th birthday, and also the emperor's 49th birthday.

According to folklore, "Ming Jiu" and "Dark Jiu" are Kan'er. Li's son was almost lost, and the eldest son was almost implicated. Yinzi lit ten long-burning lamps and began to eat a long meal himself.

On Yongzheng's side, although Li did not miss his children and grandchildren and pray to the Buddha, he also realized the fragility of life.

He can't forget the days when he was unconscious in bed in Yuanmingyuan. He was so anxious, but he couldn't open his eyes no matter what.

He wanted to see the thirteenth brother, but the queen decided to let him "retreat", and even the thirteenth brother was turned away.

Yongzheng was sitting on the dragon chair in the main hall of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, with the empress leading the concubines in the harem to congratulate him on his longevity.

Looking at the bright yellow auspicious clothes on the empress, Yongzheng only felt that it was very dazzling.

After the concubine retreated to the side, the next ones to celebrate her birthday were the princes and the princesses raised in the palace...

Yongzheng moved to the Hall of Supreme Harmony after the congratulatory birthday celebrations of the princes and princes, to accept the congratulations from the princes and ministers.

Dull court rites and music, cumbersome ceremonies, sitting high on the dragon chair, accepting the worship of princes and officials, Yongzheng's heart is getting heavier.

Seeing that the year of knowing the destiny is approaching, Yongzheng suddenly feels a little afraid...

After congratulating in the palace, he went to the household department to participate in a ministry meeting, and Cao Yong hurried back to the mansion.

It was already noon, and He Shou's relatives and friends had almost arrived.Cao Xiang also came back from the Imperial Academy, bringing Tianyou and Hengsheng to accompany his guests.

In addition to the two aunts of the Cao family who went out, there are also relatives such as the Zhu family, the Li family, and the Sun family. As for the Wei family brothers and the Zuo Cheng brothers, they came to the house as grandchildren to celebrate their birthday.

Even if no outside guests were invited, more than a dozen tables were set up inside and out, and it was quite lively.

During the dinner, what everyone paid most attention to was the fourth sister's alleged marriage, and they couldn't say congratulations to Mrs. Zhao Jia.

Zhao Jia smiled from ear to ear, looking at Cao Yi with a bit of complacency.

The difference between the concubine and the concubine, this is the difference between the concubine and the concubine.

I have never heard of any girl from a concubine marrying better than a daughter from a concubine.

Cao Yi was lucky, married General Feng En, but won the title of duke of the direct branch of the country; the fourth sister was even more lucky, pointing it to an elder brother of the Wujue Palace, and became a prince in a blink of an eye.

Cao Yi was stunned, he pulled his sister-in-law Chuyu and whispered something.

After hearing this, Chu Yu still had a smile on her face, but her expression became a little more serious. She pleaded guilty to Mrs. Zhu who was next to her, and took Cao Yi to leave the table...
