It is not advisable for men to meet concubines in the inner palace. Even if Jingyi looks old, Kangxi is still very cautious. Wen Xi is also rare. With Jingyi's appearance, Kangxi should not need to be so cautious!

I was still behind the screen and listened to Jingyi preaching to Kangxi. Although what I was speaking was just the "Tao Te Ching", it was very easy to understand, but it had a lot of connotations and was chewable. I didn't expect that Jingyi was quite good!

"The heaven and earth are not kind, and treat all things as straw dogs. The mountain man does not agree with it. The heaven moves in a constant way. The so-called "constant" is a law. The way of heaven only follows the law, not because of Yao, nor because of Jie, so there is no such thing as "benevolence" or "benevolence" in heaven and earth..."

But Wen Xi was not interested in these things. If he said something about cultivation, maybe to listen. Jingyi was already quiet, but Wen Xi became sleepy as he listened. Perhaps because of pregnancy, his body was prone to fatigue. In addition, Jingyi's "lulava" might have caused him to fight quickly.

"Your Majesty?" Li Dequan called softly in Wen Xi's ear.

"Hmm?" Wen Xi opened her sleepy eyes, "Is there anything wrong?"

Li Dequan wiped the cold sweat from his head and said, "Master, the national master has finished teaching the Taoist scriptures."

"Let's go?!" Wen Xi saw the two little eunuchs moving the screen in front of her, and knew that Jingyi had already said goodbye at some point.

It seems that it is not easy to say something to him in private.

When Wen Xi returned to the palace, Concubine Cheng happened to ask for a meeting, and discussed with her the details of Yu Ludai's marriage. Wen Xi was pregnant and lacked energy, so she had to ask her to assist in the matter. After all, Qi Buchen's marriage was handled by her. In this dynasty, Princess Gulun got married, and there were examples to follow, but it was quite troublesome to talk about the details.

The wedding date of Yuludai is scheduled to be on the seventh day of the fourth month. The princess's wedding must go through a marriage, asking for a date, receiving a lottery, giving a surrender, and returning to Ning, and asking for a date, and asking for a date, and asking for a date have been completed. The next two are receiving a lottery. That is, the so-called bride price. Today, the quasi-grand prince Cao Yan has already given "carry one, eight horses", a pair of wild goose, ninety-nine silk, ninety-nine gold ingots, one gold tea utensil, two silver tea utensils, and two silver basins, and sent the bride price to the outside of the Meridian Gate. These things have now been sent to Wenxi Palace.

Concubine Cheng passed by herself and smiled and said, "It's very compliant." The gift of receiving lottery tickets was slightly higher than Princess Shang Heshuo, but it was similar.

Wen Xi pointed to the pair of wild gooses with red silk tied around their necks and kept calling out, and told Xiao Luzi, "Send this to the Sixth Princess!" The wild goose is a loyal bird. It means harmony between husband and wife and is also an etiquette that is necessary for folks to receive lottery. Yuludai is a jasper bird, which just happens to send her a pair of birds to relieve her boredom.

Concubine Cheng smiled and said, "Then, it will be the 'success' in seven days." The so-called 'success' means getting married, which specifically refers to the marriage of the emperor's daughter. Because of the high status of the princess and her pride, it is "success".

For the sake of Yuludai's "succession", the members of the Caojia clan had already arrived in the capital.

On the second day of the 40th year of Kangxi, Kangxi held a banquet at Zhonghe Hall and Baohe Hall to entertain the prince and his male tribe. Cao Yin, his younger brother Cao Xuan, and his nephew Cao Fu, all attended the banquet.

In the Cining Palace of the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager was hosted by the Empress Dowager to host the banquet for the female family. Cao Yan's grandmother Sun should have come, but Wen Xi was old and weak, so she was not tired from the journey, so she told her not to come to the capital. Therefore, the female family led by the Cao Jia clan was Cao Yan's mother Li.

Outside the screen, the eunuch of Cining Palace kowtowed and reported: "You report to the Empress Dowager, the Imperial Concubine, I am here to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager!"

This is the rule of the lottery winner. Only when the prince-in-law Xu Xiang kowtowed to the Empress Dowager could he return to Baohe Palace.

The Empress Dowager was not very happy today, but she could only choose Cao Yong to visit the Cining Palace to pay tribute according to etiquette. Wen Xi, as the "mother-in-law", naturally accompanied the Empress Dowager to attend the banquet. Yu Ludai, who had been depressed for a long time, also accompanied Wen Xi, wearing Princess Gulun's court robes and appeared in full dress.

I saw Cao Yong steadily stepping into the hall, wearing a bright red wedding dress, and kneeling three times in front of the Empress Dowager, kowtowed nine times in front of him to perform the great ceremony. The Empress Dowager did not like Cao Jia, but only rewarded him as usual, and gave him a few instructions casually, which was very perfunctory.

Yu Ludai was very excited. She couldn't speak casually due to the rules. However, since Wen Xi discovered that "trick" she had never seen Cao Yong again. Even though she tried her best to remain calm, her excited eyes betrayed her.

After hearing the empress dowager's advice, Cao Yong stood up and kowtowed to Wen Xi.

Wen Xi held her body and smiled and said, "Since you have won the lottery, the marriage will be settled. On the seventh day of this month, the auspicious day of the zodiac, it is the day that the emperor personally decided."

Cao Yong said yes and said in a calm voice: "Sister will never let down the emperor's love!"

Cao Yong's mother Li hurriedly said with a smile: "It is a blessing for Cao Jia to join the clan to be married!"

Isn't it a blessing to raise the clan? Because I wanted to marry Princess Gulun, the Cao family raised the clan and raised the flag, and the Cao family made great success in one fell swoop. The excitement in Li's eyes was almost unconcealed. When she was in Jiangning, she dared not imagine that her son would have the same day as the Lord! Li secretly glanced at Princess Wen Xu of Gulun again, but it was a pity that she could not take a concubine after marrying the princess. Li's eyes fell on the imperial concubine's belly that was already showing signs of her husband. The imperial concubine was a person who could give birth to her, and I guess the princess would not be bad either... Well, the sixth princess' butt was also very big...

Unfortunately, Yu Ludai didn't notice Li's almost obscene gaze. If she knew what her prospective mother-in-law was thinking, she would probably be furious.

After the lottery banquet, Wen Xi drank a glass of Lingquan water and fed the one in her stomach first before Zhu'er asked her to get the dowry list. The things on it were all made by Kangxi according to the regulations of Princess Gulun.

There are two imperial villages, there are sixty hectares of fertile land in the eastern suburbs, forty hectares of fertile land in the southeast, and fifty hectares of mountain forest land in the southeast; there are one gardens, and one hot spring village in Xiaotangshan.

Two thousand taels of gold ingots, six thousand taels of silver ingots, five hundred Ruyi gold ingots, and eight hundred mandarin ducks combined with silver ingots.

Twenty plates of pearls, one hundred and eight pieces per plate; ten plates of coral beads, ninety-six pieces per plate; ten plates of jade beads; ten plates of beeswax beads, and ten plates of jade beads...

One ruby ​​is topped by the hat, ten second-class east beads are embedded; five golden phoenixes are embedded with twenty-five fifth-class east beads; one gold-intact coral headband is surrounded by a gold-intact blue gold square-winning; four pairs of gold bracelets weighing thirty-five taels......

Five pieces of embroidered colorful satin gold dragon robes, twenty-three pieces of embroidered colorful satin python robes, two pieces of embroidered colorful gauze python robes, eight-piece gold dragon robes, eighteen pieces of woven colorful satin eight balls... Two pieces of satin with golden longevity characters, one hundred silk satin, one hundred silk satin..., one hundred silk, one hundred spun, nine hundred and eighty pieces in total.

A pair of silver powder makeup boxes weighing thirty-eight taels per piece; a pair of silver pots weighing 21 taels per piece; a pair of Shangyin small discs weighing 2 taels per piece; a pair of silver boxes...

Ten boxes of ivory wood combs, twenty boxes of boxwood combs, ten boxes of red sandalwood combs, twenty boxes of big scrubbing, and one box of brushing...

A green and Han jade pen holder, a green and jade holding pot, a Han jade fairy mountain, a red sandalwood stand with jade half a jade, a red sandalwood stand, a black lacquer pen and inkstone table, a Han jade pen holder, a red sandalwood stand, a Han jade water holder, ten pairs of red carved lacquer long trunk boxes, six pairs of carved lacquer rectangular boxes, two pairs of red lacquer chrysanthemum-style holding boxes...

Wen Xizai looked at the dowry list carefully and said, "I look at it, it seems that it is more than three times more than Princess Jingshun's dowry."

Zhu'er echoed: "Our sixth princess is Princess Gulun, it's worth it to be thicker." As he said that, he handed a list to Wen Xi, "My master is called Nu Cai and list 30% of your family's fortunes, and Nu Cai seems to have a lot of them."

Wen Xi looked carefully, and there were all kinds of land, restaurants, pawn shops, tea shops... but these things cannot be placed in the open, but they are also essential. Kangxi gave a lot of things, but except for gold and silver, everything else was fixed assets and could not be moved. Although the imperial village had annual income, it was a long-lasting flow. Yuludai was about to get married and could be used every year. Except for the imperial village's income, there was only annual salary. Princess Gulun's salary was equivalent to the prince: the annual salary was 10,000 taels of silver and 10,000 hu of rice. It seemed a lot, but the income on the surface was definitely not enough. The things Wen Xi gave were all hens who could lay golden eggs.

In the afternoon, the people from the Faculty Office sent Yuludai auspicious crowns for marriage, which were dazzling and luxurious: three layers of gold on the top, ten layers of Dongzhu, seven layers of peacock, three types of pearls, three types of pearls, and golden colors of stone knots, and golden colors of hanging ribbons. Just look at it. It is much more luxurious than Princess Heshuo's Auspicious crowns. I remember that the first few princesses who were married were just two layers of gold on the top, nine layers of Dongzhu, and six types of peacock.

Wen Xi rubbed her temples, and she saw too much and felt dizzy.

Zhu'er whispered: "There are only the concubines' makeup left. Let's see it tomorrow. You are pregnant with your little prince, so you can't work hard."

"Yu Ludai's marriage is so tired of Cheng Fei." Wen Xi smiled, pointed at Cai Ji Guan again, and said, "Yu Ludai is afraid she's waiting. You can send this to her, so he can also be happy."

Zhu'er responded quickly and said, "Two days ago, the peacock on top was a little crooked. This time I've been resting. It's really good. The princess will definitely be satisfied after seeing it."

Yuludai is naturally more nitpicious about her wedding auspicious clothes and crown. She naturally cares about this one in her life.

Wen Xi instructed again: "Please give her the dowry list together. You should ask her to come and thank her a few mothers who have added makeup to thank her so that she can do her etiquette."

"Master, don't worry!" Zhu'er personally helped Wen Xi up. "I will make arrangements. You are not more important than the little prince with a belly! Master, drink a bowl of bird's nest, take a nap first."

My daughter is getting married, and Wen Xi is more worried about her mother-in-law. Although she is only a concubine, she can't help but take care of Yu Ludai.

On the seventh day of the fourth month of the 40th year of the Kangxi reign, it was an extremely sunny day. The imperial court said that it was a great auspicious day, and it was time to get married.
