Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 1298 Chapter Three Hundred and One of the Thousand

"Aunt and Grandmother..." Xiangyu greeted Mrs. Li politely first, and then stood in front of her affectionately.

"An, An, our Xiangyu is also well..." Seeing Xiangyu's cuteness, Mrs. Li was quite emotional.

Speaking of it, Xiangyu was two months younger than Tianhui, but she had a lot of bad luck since she was a child. She lost her father before she landed, lost her biological mother when she was young, and caught up with the Li family to interrogate her when she was more than ten years old. Elected into the palace.

If it wasn't for Concubine Mi to take care of her and bring her out of the palace, I don't know how long she would stay in the palace.

Xiangyu was embarrassed by Shi Li, pursed her lips and lowered her head.

Concubine Mi was thoughtful when she saw this, and said to Xiangyu: "Your aunt loves almond tea the most, you go and get someone to make a bowl, put less sugar and more sweet-scented osmanthus."

Xiangyu agreed, and retreated with her servant girl.

"But don't worry about Xiangyu?" Concubine Mi said to Li Shi.

She called Li's "cousin" earlier, but when Li's identity surfaced, it was not good to call her that way again, but it was inappropriate to call her by other names, so she simply didn't call her anything.

The same is true for Mrs. Li, but the address is just a formality, and it has not affected the relationship between the two.

Mrs. Li shook her head with a smile, and said, "With you taking care of her, why worry? I just think that she will be born next year, and you've made her look so juicy. I don't know who will take advantage of it?"

Concubine Mi nodded, and said: "This child is very painful. If she has a good background, anyone is worthy of it. However, due to the limitations of her background, she must find a proper family, so that it is not in vain for you and me to worry about her. .”

Mrs. Li hesitated, and said, "The palace?"

"Don't worry, I'm paying attention. You can't let Sister Yu talk about marriage with palace registration. It just so happened that I saw Chen Guiren in the palace during the Longevity Festival. She also wanted to help the girl from the Sun family get out of her citizenship. The Sixteenth Master greeted them, and gave them two exempted years ago." Concubine Mi said.

The Chen Guiren she was talking about was the 21st elder brother's birth mother, the Chen family, and the girl of the Sun family was the third daughter Sun Wencheng had chosen to enter the palace.

Chen Guiren is a cousin of the Sun family, and was sent to Beijing by the Sun family for a draft. When the Sun family was in trouble, taking care of the daughter of the Sun family was considered reciprocal.

"Chen Guiren wants to let the third girl of the Sun family out of the palace?" Hearing this news, Li Shi was a little surprised.

When Cao Ying returned to Ning, she once mentioned the little girl who was selected into the palace, she only said that she was with the nobleman, and the nobleman cherished her as her own junior, and she was very dignified.

Concubine Mi twitched her lips and said: "She is lonely in the palace, she finally has a relative by her side, how can she be willing to let her go? She wants to give her to brother 21, and she is afraid that Miss Sun San's background is too low. , being bullied in the future, she thought about leaving her nationality first, and then occupying a status first. When there is a man and a half woman, it will be more suitable for her to be promoted as a side Fujin."

After hearing this, Mrs. Li couldn't help frowning.

Speaking of which, Mrs. Chen is Sun Wencheng's younger generation, and she and the third girl from the Sun family are cousins.

If you don't care about your status, but only about your seniority, the third girl from the Sun family is the cousin of Brother 21.

Besides, as a prince, Elder Brother 21 has no shortage of people around him. Even if he is not married, Elder Brother still has a few characters. This year, he has added two concubine daughters.

The third girl from the Sun family was born in wrapping clothes, and she didn't have her mother's backing, so why did she go to Elder Brother's place to compete with those noble girls from the Eight Banners?
When Elder Brother officially gets married on the 21st, he must go out of the palace to open the house, and Chen Guiren will also go out of the palace to support him.

Using my cousin as a concubine for my son, how will mother-in-law and daughter-in-law get along in the future?
Concubine Mi looked at Mrs. Li and said, "You don't have to worry about her, she has her own plans. If she hadn't been upright, how could she be so 'preparing for a rainy day'?"

Mrs. Li was a little puzzled when she heard this.

Concubine Mi sneered and said: "It's just because I was worried that 21 elder brother would point out the noble Fujin in the future, and her mother-in-law would not be easy to control, so she pushed the third girl of the Sun family to the front. If the daughter-in-law has something wrong in the future, she just needs to take care of the third daughter-in-law." If the girl complains a few times, she will be able to suffocate the daughter-in-law for a while."

Mrs. Li couldn't help shaking her head when she heard this, and said, "No matter what her status is, she is Brother 21's biological mother. Even if Fujin 21 enters the door, can she still be treated slowly?"

Concubine Mi said: "That's why I say it is annoying and hateful. It's just that I have been in the palace for a long time, and I always think about status. In the palace, the nobles are not as honorable as the prince Fujin, and they have to respect the prince Fujin when they meet. Performing the ceremony. If she becomes a concubine, she won't have to worry about the confusion between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the future..." At the end, she lowered her voice.

The status of a nobleman is not as good as that of Prince Fujin.The mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law, according to the family law, the elder is superior to the younger; according to the national law, the prince Fujin is superior and the others are inferior.

Li Shi said: "I heard that brother 21 is humble and filial, and the nobleman thinks too much..."

Thinking that the thirteenth Fujin is still there, Mrs. Li didn't stay long, waited for Xiangyu's almond tea to be delivered, after eating half a bowl of almond tea, and after making an appointment with the concubine to leave Beijing on the eighteenth morning, Mrs. Li said goodbye and left.

Concubine Mi sent someone to call for the fifteenth Fujin, and asked her to send Mrs. Li out on her behalf.

When the fifteenth Fujin came back to see off the guests, he took the thirteenth Fujin to Concubine Mi.

Just now at the [-]th Fujin, the [-]th Fujin explained his intentions.

Fifteen Fujin said one thing. Originally, she saw that Xiangyu was getting better and better, and the concubine really loved her. She once proposed to keep Xiangyu in Baylor Mansion, and promised Xu Yifang the position of wife, but was rejected by the concubine. .

According to the etiquette system, Baylor Mansion allows one first wife and two side wives.

The fifteenth elder brother didn't care about women's sex. Apart from the first wife, the fifteenth Fujin, there was only one concubine Guerjia, one concubine Du Shi who gave birth to a concubine, and three other concubines.

There is also a side wife in the Baylor Mansion. The [-]th Fujin wanted to promote Mrs. Du, but she didn't get her husband's approval.

Fifteen Fujin knew that her husband was doing this not to save face, but because he was reluctant to have someone on an equal footing with the concubine, and he did not want Du's son to affect the status of Guarjia's son.

Fifteenth Fujin hated it so much, and suggested that Xiangyu stay in Baylor's Mansion, but he just wanted to raise the banner of the concubine, drive away tigers and wolves, and just wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.

Concubine Mi has been struggling in the palace all these years, what hasn't she seen?

She just said "the seniority is wrong", and she didn't need Shiwu Fujin to worry about it.

Although she couldn't understand her son pampering the concubine, because the fifteenth elder brother hadn't been around since childhood, the mother and child were already estranged, so she couldn't open her mouth to meddle in her son's affairs.It's just out of sight and out of mind, when you can enter the palace, you can spend more time in the palace.

Now that Mrs. Zhuang Tai Fujin died of illness, the sixteenth elder brother is no longer inconvenient to travel to and from the Baylor Mansion, and the concubine is content with it, not in the mood to participate in the battle between wives and concubines in the Baylor Mansion.

"I can only say that my sister-in-law can give it a try, but it's hard to say if she's sure. Seeing what the empress means, she really loves that girl Xiangyu, and I'm afraid she won't agree to let her suffer for my concubine." Fifteen Fujin said.

Thirteenth Fujin didn't know that there was still such a stubble, thinking that fortunately it was the fifteenth Fujin who spoke, not the fifteenth elder brother, otherwise, no matter how good Xiangyu was, she would not have told Xiangyu to Fuseng.

Although Thirteen Fujin already hesitated when she thought that Xiangyu was also involved in the Cao family and the Li family, but she has always been straightforward and not a vague person.

When I went to the dorm room of the concubine, I saw that Xiangyu was there, and Thirteenth Fujin had to look at it carefully again, and I was quite satisfied.

When Xiangyu withdrew, Thirteen Fujin still explained his intention.

Surprisingly, Concubine Mi did not refuse directly after hearing Thirteen Fujin's words, nor did she have a sullen expression on her face, she just thought about it for a while and said she was not in a hurry, allowing her to think and discuss with Xiangyu's elders.

Thirteenth Fujin returned to the house in a daze, and told her husband about her doubts.

Brother Thirteen laughed and said: "You are just a fan of the authorities. Although you are taking a concubine for your son-in-law, but the concubine has no wife, what do you have to worry about? You will be the matchmaker. The monk is filial and courteous, Is it still possible to treat the girl of the Li family slowly? Whenever the girl of the Li family suffers even the slightest bit of grievance, the concubine doesn't have to look for a blessed monk, she just talks to you, and you can still watch? The concubine is transparent, that is, she really loves that girl, Where do you care about those false names? Let her be a wife to someone she doesn't know, a husband and in-laws who don't know what kind of character; if you promise Fujin, the girl from the Li family will enter the scholar's mansion, even if the in-laws come back from a foreign job in the future, it will look like you On the face of it, Sixth Aunt will not treat Li's girl harshly..."

After hearing this, Thirteen Fujin suddenly realized, and felt a little worried, and said: "Then if the girl from the Li family is naughty, no one can tell her?"

Elder Brother Thirteen raised his eyebrows, and said: "You think Empress Dowager is a foolish person, protecting her shortcomings so much that she doesn't care about anything..."

Xidan, Cao's new residence.

It was a gloomy day, and there were scattered snowflakes, but Elder Sixteen was in a good mood and couldn't help laughing "haha".

Cao Yong rolled his eyes helplessly, he was obviously very busy in the household department, but he was pulled out by Brother Sixteen under the pretext of looking at the garden.

Brother Sixteen's face was tense, and Cao Yong was still worried, thinking that something serious had happened.

Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the garden, there was no one around, the ice and snow melted on the face of the sixteenth elder brother, and he was beaming with joy.

However, Cao Yong also found it novel to see such a sixteenth elder brother who is so happy and angry.

Having been a prince for a few years, Elder Sixteen is even more majestic, and in front of him, it is rare for him to lose his composure.

"Hahahaha..." Brother Sixteen looked up at the sky for a while, looked down at the ground for a while, and laughed for a long time.

Cao Yong just stood by and looked around. Some earth, stone and wood had been piled up, and the garden with withered vegetation added some mess.

The sixteenth elder brother was almost happy, looked at Cao Yong dissatisfied and said, "Furuo, why don't you ask why you are happy?"

Cao Yong asked remonstrantly, "Why is Master Sixteen happy?"

Brother Sixteen was choked by Cao Yong, couldn't help snorting, and then couldn't help laughing: "The emperor's grace, Prince Yunyi's residence and Prince Zhuang's residence please God to return to the residence..."

"Huh?" Cao Yong listened and became curious: "Only these two palaces?"

The so-called "asking the gods to return to the mansion" means offering sacrifices to the gods in the palace.

It is an old custom in Manchuria to enshrine the gods of morning sacrifices and evening sacrifices, and it is usually one surname and one sacrifice.

In the early years, the princes and princes of the clan first worshiped the gods in the palace, and later allowed the princes to invite the gods to return to the mansion. In the 57th year of Kangxi, Kangxi decreed to stop the princes from inviting gods into the mansion.

Unexpectedly, the current emperor's kindness, this one, makes the status of Yizhuang's two palaces rank high among the clan palaces...
