Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 920 "Distinguished Guest"

Li Shi was originally suffering from a heart disease, and after deciding to reject this reward, she slowly recovered.Don't care about others, I really don't want my son and daughter-in-law to suffer.

Her own illness did not make any noise.

Cao Jia's sisters all went to the house to visit their mother.

Mrs. Li was both gratified and sad.The good news is that the children are filial; the sad thing is that because of their own reasons, there will be some gossip, and the children will feel uncomfortable at that time.

But she didn't know that both Cao Jiashi and Cao Yi were confused.

After all, they are in the gate of the house, even if they know some news, it is just that Mrs. Li received the bequest from the Queen Mother.

This is a good thing, how come you get sick when you are fine?

Moreover, Mrs. Li is not a person who does not show emotions, even though she did not say anything to her daughters, Mrs. Cao Jia and Cao Yi also saw her forceful smile.

After Li's medication was settled, they went back to Wutong Garden with Chuyu, wanting to ask for details.

Cao Yong is already waiting for them here, and even Li's life experience can be vague to the outside world, but he doesn't want to hide it from his family.

It was heard that the Li family was born of Concubine Hui, and if there were no accidents, this Concubine Hui would be crowned Empress soon, Cao Jia and Cao Yi both frowned.

"What is the emperor's intention? Since Concubine Hui can recover the title, why can't she recognize her mother justifiably? No matter how generous the reward is, it is also a dishonorable name!" Regarding the mother's life experience, Xu Shi had heard too many rumors before, but now she is in the dark. In fact, Cao Jiashi was not surprised, but was full of grievances for her mother.

"Isn't it more sad that we can't recognize each other even though we have established a relationship? That's why my mother got sick?" Cao Yi was worried about Li's illness.

Cao Yong took a long breath and said, "Mother has already made a decision, so she will not be rewarded."

"Ah?" Cao Yi was already surprised; "This is a crime of resisting the order..."

Cao Jiashi was much calmer. She took a look at Cao Yong and said, "I shouldn't be afraid. Since the emperor feels guilty towards his mother, he will take care of it. But if these are really the dowry left by Concubine Hui, the emperor will not take it back. Go, I'm afraid it will fall on my mother in the end."

Cao Yong also wanted to understand this point in the past two days, but he still supported his mother's "rejection".

This grace is heavy, Cao Yong has been uneasy for half a month, but he has no room to speak.Now, let the Li family make a good gesture, it can be regarded as letting those who are watching this matter understand that the Cao family is not greedy.

Chu Yu was by the side, seeing that the three of them had sullen faces and no joy, she couldn't help thinking wildly.If you were someone else, wouldn't you be delighted to know your emperor's grandson?

Although the Cao family is raising the flag now, they are Han Chinese with limited roots.It wasn't until Chuyu came in and the emperor contacted Jiaen again, it was better, but it couldn't compare with those Manchurian dignitaries.

Due to her low birth, Cao Jia also received a lot of anger in her early years.It's just that she has a strong stomach, she has given birth to four sons, and the relationship between the husband and wife of Prince Ping is good, so Fujin's position is secure.Otherwise, the county prince's mansion would not have no side Fujin.

Only the sons and daughters of the Cao family can do this. They don't pay attention to power and money, and they are led by "filial piety".

At this moment, Cao Jiashi had thought through her mind, sighed, and said, "Even if my mother doesn't accept these things, I will accept the grace that should be received. I thought earlier that the emperor's kindness to our family is too great. Even if Grandmother has the affection for Fusheng, and these have passed. Now I understand that I can refer to the marriage of Pingjun Wangfu, my younger brother can marry Chuyu, and the third brother-in-law can attack the Duke of the country. It is not the affection between grandmother and father, but the In mother's favor."

After saying this, the three brothers and sisters looked at each other in blank dismay.

Cao Yong didn't expect Kangxi to really take these things back, but he was just looking for a step, which not only obeyed his mother's wishes, but also solved the 10 taels of gold.

In this world, there are no absolute secrets.

The country is poor but the people are rich, isn't this inviting disaster?Brother Sixteen used that method to hide it from people for a while, but it couldn't hide it from Kangxi.

Cao Yong was still looking forward to returning the 10 taels of gold.

Although gold is a good thing, it is dazzling to look at, but to be honest, the Cao family does not lack this.

Cao Yong's family property over the years, if counted, has saved 80 million taels of silver.It's just that he's not greedy, and knows what to do. Otherwise, it's not easy to think about the idea of ​​making a fortune for the country. It's not difficult to create two time-honored brands after such a small fight.

Now it seems that they really have no right to say anything other than Xie En.

Even if there was a grievance in this, only Li Shi was wronged.

Thinking of this, the three of them who claimed to be filial felt a little uncomfortable.

"I knew it was so, back then..." Cao Jia muttered half a sentence, but couldn't say the rest.

If I knew this earlier, what could I do?Can she not marry, can Cao Yong not marry, can Cao Yi prevent her husband from inheriting an heir?
Thinking of this, everyone felt uncomfortable, and couldn't speak in embarrassment.

In the end, it was Cao Jia who came to a conclusion and said: "Let's be sons and daughters, let's do it according to my wife's wishes."

Cao Yong understands the meaning of this sister, this is to take care of Li's emotions, only when "rumors" are "rumors".Since the emperor was vague, they figured out what to do so clearly.In the eyes of outsiders, they appear to be frivolous.

Cao Mansion's reaction really surprised many people.

These days, the news that the emperor wants to make Concubine Hui the queen has spread back to Rehe and the capital.

In Rehe Palace, Concubine De and Concubine Yi were half-dead with anger, but everyone knew that Concubine Hui was a taboo, not someone they could mention, so they could only endure it and inquire about the news of Yuqian and the capital.

Sheng Jia has sent a decree to the Ministry of Rites to prepare for this matter. After Sheng Jia returns to Beijing, he will officially issue a decree to posthumously.

Concubine Wang didn't know whether it was joy or surprise, and she was a little worried about the Li family in the capital, so she had to send someone back to Beijing with gifts next year on Cao Yin's third anniversary, mainly to visit the Li family.

In the capital, Concubine Rong and Concubine Hui couldn't sit still.

Both of them were Kangxi's earliest concubines, and Concubine Rong started serving the emperor before his wedding, and she had heard of "Concubine Hui".

Don't say anything else, let's just say that the noble daughter of Horqin was brought up in the empress dowager's palace, and she almost became the adopted daughter of the empress dowager, they still vaguely remember it.

At that time, they all thought that the noble daughter of Horqin would be canonized as a noble concubine, but they didn't expect to get the will of the minister who gave the marriage.

These days, even the Queen's life is difficult, trembling.

Many people rumored that the emperor was in charge personally, and he couldn't tolerate Oboi, nor Suo Ni and Ni Bilong.

The queen's position is unstable. After all, the empress dowager and the queen mother are both noble daughters of Horqin. It is not unusual for them to want to establish another queen of Horqin.

However, some people said that the noble daughter of Horqin was promised to the old emperor earlier.

Although she didn't officially serve the old emperor, but she has the status of half a concubine, so the empress dowager did not allow the emperor to accept her.

Concubine Rong and Concubine Hui were just concubines who entered the imperial court at the beginning, and they didn't even have the title of nobleman. Regarding these concubine titles, they were only heard as news.

Later, the noble girl was not married after all, but died of illness in the palace.If you don't enter the imperial court, you can be named a concubine, and only the noble daughter of Horqin who is of the same clan as the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager can have this dignity.

That's it, the emperor felt wronged by that one, and made a fuss with the empress.

Unexpectedly, after more than 50 years, the emperor brought up the old matter again, how could the two concubines not be shocked.

"Emiang, that Concubine Hui is really Huang Ama's childhood sweetheart? Why hasn't anyone mentioned it all these years?" The first one who couldn't bear it was Princess Gulun Rongxian.

She has already received the letter from the third elder brother, she knows what happened in front of the emperor, and she also knows what the third elder brother is thinking.

Although she was the same as the third elder brother, she didn't intend to stop him, but she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

She always thought that she was the most beloved daughter of the emperor's father, and she was secretly proud of being named Princess Gulun.

In the capital, the dignity of her princess mansion is no worse than those of the prince's mansion and county prince's mansion.

Unexpectedly, all of a sudden, a queen was going to be named, and there was also a real first princess.

There was no one else in the hall, and everyone was sent out.

Even so, Concubine Rong still lowered her volume, and said: "Concubine Hui just died of illness, and some people in the palace talked about it. Just talking about the palace of the empress dowager killed more than a dozen, the maids and servants of the empress palace It was even changed. Since then, it has become a taboo in the palace. After a long time, no one mentioned it. Now it seems that if the Li family is really from Concubine Hui, then the 'Death of illness' is false, leaving the palace is true."

After hearing this, Princess Rong Xian felt that there was something wrong.

Since the empress dowager, the empress dowager, and the emperor are protecting people, even if the empress does not tolerate it, she dare not do it lightly.Unless those few people acquiesced in Concubine Hui's leaving the palace, she could leave the nine-door palace.

The reason why the emperor didn't forget it after more than 50 years is because the Concubine Hui abandoned the palace and fled, right?

Princess Rong Xian looked at Concubine Rong, feeling wronged for her mother and concubine.

His mother and concubine were the first to serve by the emperor's side, and lost four elder brothers in a row. Although she is now ranked as the fourth concubine, she has long been out of favour, and even the power in the harem is controlled by Concubine De and Concubine Yi.

The title of noble concubine, even if the mother concubine wants it, can she get it?
Princess Rong Xian only felt distraught, she told herself to be more cautious, but she couldn't help but want to fight for her mother and concubine.But can it really be won?
Knowing a child is like a mother, Concubine Rong could see something was wrong when she hesitated.

Concubine Rong took her daughter's hand and said: "Didn't you usually not like to mix things up? Why are you being stubborn now? The emperor is the emperor, so we can guess at will. Er Niang only hopes that you and the third elder brother will be together." If you are safe, you will be satisfied. The emperor’s grace, if you give it, you will accept it, and if you don’t give it, don’t worry about it. Erniang is cowardly, so don’t scare her. How did Concubine Hui survive these years? If she was not afraid of herself It's gone, the grandchildren have no one to take care of them, they have passed away long ago. Er Niang can't live like that, if it makes Er Niang worry about her, her old life is about to die."

Hearing these words, Princess Rong Xian sighed in her heart.

Yes, indisputable.

If the younger brother really had that blessing, and as the eldest son ascended to the reserve position, Eniang would also have a queen's day; if the younger brother didn't have that blessing, he would end up as a prince, and Eniang would be promoted to the throne, which would only arouse the fear of the new emperor...

How could Li Shi know that Princess Gu Lun had already rejected her before she showed her face.

Just as she didn't want to break her peaceful life, others didn't like her "turned out".

Although the princess does not have the right to succeed to the throne, but because of this, the princess' identity is more concerned by the princes and elder brothers.If you win over, you are helping, and you will never become an enemy.

Therefore, on the day of Cao Yin's "Third Anniversary", the distinguished guests who came to Cao's house without warning were not one or two...
