Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 1284 Painful and Painful

Changchun Palace, Xici Room.

Empress Nala was sitting on the kang, and there were eight chairs in two rows facing each other on the ground, which were filled with orders to enter the palace to pay her respects.Chuyu's place is the second chair to the west.

At the head of Chuyu is Princess Heshuo Shushen who left the cabinet last year.Although she meant to marry Horqin, she stayed in Beijing for the time being because her husband was in Beijing and did not go to Mongolia.

Today, Princess He Shuo Shushen came here for the wedding of her younger uncles.

The Fujin wives present here are either ordered by the Mongolian princes, or the princesses of the clan and county, and most of them are here for their children and grandchildren.

In last year's draft, many clans were married, but this year is Yongzheng's [-]th birthday, and there has been news from the palace that the bridesmaids who have left a sign to be adopted will be married to the noble daughters of the clan.

Those who can ask the queen are mostly like Chuyu, the two families have already discussed it, and there is only one decree missing.

The other two, relying on their seniority, wanted to choose a daughter-in-law with a higher family status than their own to give their children and grandchildren their status.However, such careful thinking may not pass the Queen's side.

The queen is known as a honest person, how could she do such a thankless thing?

Therefore, there are two situations for the people who came to pay their respects.

Like Chuyu, the two families talked in front of the queen and were willing to get married, the queen nodded with a smile.Only one side is picking and choosing, and the family background is not very suitable, while the queen is vague.

Although everyone is not satisfied, but no one dares to be presumptuous in the Queen's Palace.There is an elderly county king Fujin who is also from the clan Gege, and the one chosen for his eldest grandson is the Liugege of Prince Jian's Mansion.

Now that she has failed in all her calculations and let the Cao family take advantage, Lao Fujin feels no pain in his heart, and starts eating Da Chuyu strangely.

Inside and outside the words, it is the Cao family who is easy to calculate, wishing to marry all the daughters into the clan, and even climb up the clan.

Chu Yu got the letter of approval, and she made up her mind.

Although I was impatient to sit like this, it was not good to leave first, so I had to sit obediently.Chu Yu couldn't talk back to old Fujin's eating habits in front of everyone, so she pretended to drink tea, as if she had never heard of it.

Speaking of which, among the people who came to pay their respects, the queen and Chu Yu were the closest.

Seeing Chuyu being run over, the queen felt a little unhappy, and was about to speak to help her out, when the little eunuch came in to report.

Brother Fuhui came over to say hello.

The orders in the room were all quiet, and I was more curious about the son of the imperial concubine who rarely showed his face in front of people.

The Qing Dynasty not only said that "the mother is more valuable than the son", but also "the son is more valuable than the mother". If the concubine's family is in decline, Fuhui's status will be higher than the other princes.

As for whether Fu Hui came from the Concubine Man, the princes of the Eight Banners might pay attention to it. How many of these ladies in the inner court care?Emperor Shizu was of mixed Manchu-Mongolian blood, and Emperor Shengzu was of mixed Manchurian-Mongolian-Han blood. The roots of the royal family have long been impure.

Everyone stood up, wanting to salute Fuhui, the queen waved her hand and stopped them all: "Brother is still young, you may be his elders..."

Chu Yu also fixed her eyes on the well-behaved little man who greeted the queen well.

Mingming is about the same age as Tianbao, but Fuhui looks much thinner, pale and unhealthy.

The queen asked someone to lift him up and pull him to her side.

The queen patted Fuhui's head pitifully, and said: "Although it's cold, it's not good to be bored in the room all the time. It's good like this today. Come and see the queen's mother, and you can move around. It's just Don't hurry, if you sweat and see the wind, it's not for fun."

"Well, my son listens to Queen Mother." Fuhui nodded, looked around, and asked in a low voice, "Mother Queen, where's Sister Shuya?"

"She was taken back to the palace by her mother-in-law, and she will be back in a few days." The queen replied lovingly.

This Shuya is the niece of the queen's natal family, she is very fond of the queen, and she lives in the palace for half a year all year round.

Fuhui was annoyed and looked forward to it: "My son's starling can talk, and I want to listen to sister Shuya. Sister Shuya needs to come back earlier, or else my starling forgot to talk again, what should I do?"

The childish words made the queen laugh, and she asked a few questions about food and daily life carefully before sending someone to take the blessing...

When Cao Yong came back from Luoya, he heard his wife talk about entering the palace to ask for an order.

Knowing that things went well, Cao Yong was also relieved.

Don't talk about Liugege, just talk about Yongqing talking about it for two years, if the marriage fails, maybe there is something wrong with him.In Cao Yong's life, he had only a handful of close friends, so he really didn't want to be suspicious of him.

"It's good if it goes well. Although Prince Jian is unreliable, Wanyan Fujin's rules are well-known, and the daughter she brought up can't be fooled by the rules." Cao Yong said.

Chu Yu smiled and said, "Master, don't worry, in this generation's clan Ge Ge, Liu Ge Ge's appearance and temperament can be counted among them."

"After all, you are young, so what are your shortcomings, you can adjust it slowly." Cao Yong thought of the saying that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are natural enemies, so it is not good to praise Liu Gege too much, so he said.

Chu Yu gave her husband a sideways look, and said, "Whoever leaves the court is a good daughter-in-law? You have to learn slowly. Back then, my father-in-law and mother-in-law didn't pick on me, so are you going to pick on my daughter-in-law?"

When Cao Yong saw his wife defending the daughter-in-law who hadn’t entered the house, he smiled secretly in his heart, but he still didn’t care much on his face, and said: “It’s not good not to pick on her, but I just think that she has a noble background and good manners, but her temperament may not be submissive. Knowing how to serve Weng Gu will make you angry."

Chu Yu said dissatisfiedly: "Master is too stubborn. If you want to marry and be a daughter-in-law, you will be happy with God's blessings. It's not about adding a girl. How can I be short of someone to wait on you? My mother-in-law used to treat me well in the early years, so I have to treat my daughter-in-law harshly instead?"

It was time to get vaccinations, and Cao Yong had all of them, so he changed the subject and said, "How does the queen look? The queen has been ill intermittently in the past few years, which is really worrying."

"I've been at peace for a long time. It looks like I'm in good spirits. It's just that I'm old. After all, I'm in my fifties." Chu Yu hesitated for a while and said, "I saw Brother Fu Hui in the Queen's Palace today. If you I remember well, elder brother Fuhui is already seven years old, but he didn't go to study in the study, probably because of his poor health. The empress treated Fuhui very kindly and sympathetically."

Everyone knows the filth between the empress and the late Concubine Nian. It was because of the concubine's quarrel that angered Yongzheng.Even the Empress Qianqiu was not allowed to enter the palace to congratulate her.

From this point of view, even if the queen does not vent her anger on Fuhui, she should still be indifferent, so why does she show a bit of sincere love?

But if the queen really cared about Fuhui, why would she let him waste her time?
Chu Yu couldn't figure it out, but Cao Yong immediately thought of the key point: "The prince's enlightenment is a major event, even if the queen is the master of the six palaces, it will not affect the study room. Without the emperor's nod, who would dare to reject a prince elder brother?" Outside the upper study room? The queen’s love may not be true, but pity may be true. A little prince who has no mother to rely on and was abandoned by the emperor, how can he be so pitiful?"

Chu Yu was stunned when he heard that, "They are all flesh and blood, why are they so?"

Cao Yongdao: "What else? I was bitten by a snake once, and I was afraid of the well rope for ten years. It was too tragic for the emperor to win the heir. The emperor must be afraid in his heart. No matter how talented Fuhui is, don't give him a chance to stand out , just let him live a mediocre life, and avoid royal brotherhood, and also make the new emperor have no taboos on this little brother. Such an arrangement is not only the emperor's mind, but also a kind father's heart."

In the end, Cao Yong couldn't help being a little moved.

Everyone in the world said that Yongzheng was ungrateful and ignorant, but they didn't think deeply about Yongzheng's arrangements for several princes.

Hongshi overestimated himself, contacted the ministers, and tried to save the throne, which was a stab in the heart of the next emperor.In addition, Hongshi was the eldest among the established princes, and the etiquette of the Han people also emphasized that there should be a descendant to establish a descendant, and no descendant should establish an elder. This is another taboo in the heavenly family.

Yongzheng succeeded Hongshi directly, removed his clan status, removed his qualifications to win the crown, and preserved Hongshi in disguise.

It's a pity that Hongshi was too extreme, and the gap from the eldest son of the emperor to the common people was too great, which made Hongshi finally come to a dead end.

The same is true here for Fuhui. Although he is young, when Nian Gengyao was in glory, there were many people who thought of Fuhui.Do you really not care about it when the fourth elder brother ascends the throne?And Fuhui himself, is he really willing to settle down?
Now "pampering" Fuhui, he is just a little prince who lost his mother.Even the queen has gone to the heart, and I really feel pity; the fourth elder brother will not be shy about the little brother.

The two sons, the two arrangements, are all for avoiding the struggle for succession, which is another kind of preservation.

It's just that although the starting point is good, it is a bit self-righteous.From the proud son of heaven to being pitiful, who can bear such a gap?
Cao Yong shook his head and didn't think about it anymore, he just said: "Since Yizhi is about to come down, please ask someone to pick a day after the Wanshou Festival, and the ceremony will be made."

Chu Yu complied, and the husband and wife did not mention the grooming arrangement.

The next day, Cao Yong got the news that Li Wei, the governor of Zhejiang, went to Beijing to congratulate him.

According to the usual practice, when governors from other places come to Beijing, they must manage six yamen, which are the so-called "ice respect" and "charcoal respect".

It can be seen that Zhejiang is a rich and prosperous place, and all the officials of the household department are full of red faces, and they are all very satisfied.

Cao Yong, the second-in-command of the household department, also has more than 2000 taels of "Tan Jing".

Cao Yong did some calculations in his mind, and this time Li Wei went to Beijing, the amount of money he gave out was tens of thousands of taels.

However, there are more than a dozen governors and governors in the world, and few of them can receive the honor of congratulating them on the Longevity Day.Li Wei is both the governor and the governor, and the money and food officials are in charge, so it is necessary to have a good relationship with the six ministries.

In addition to caring about Li Wei, Cao Yong also missed Cao Song's side.

Counting the days, Zhang Yi had already arrived in Jiangning, and there should have been a reply there.

Brother Sixteen's words certainly moved Cao Yong's heart; but if Cao Song wanted to make a military exploit, Cao Yong was still willing to support him.

In this yamen of the Ministry of Households, everyone was talking about Governor Li in the morning, and in the afternoon it was replaced by Governor Fan.

Compared with Li Wei, the governor of Zhejiang, Fan Shiyi, the governor of Liangjiang, looks more prominent.

Speaking of which, he was still an old acquaintance of Cao Yong.

Governor Fan was only transferred to Jiangnan last year. In his early years, he served as the commander-in-chief in Zhili and served as Cao Yong's subordinate.

Governor Fan was also among the governors who were ordered to go to Beijing to congratulate him.

Everyone in the household department received another "charcoal respect". Although it is not as rich as Governor Li, it is also more decent than the governor of a remote place coming to Beijing...
