Chapter 63 The errand
Chapter 63 Jobs
In early July of the 48th year of the Kangxi reign, the Emperor Kangxi's Emperor stayed in Rehe.
Cao Yong finally refused, but he still accepted the land deed sent by the Sixteenth Prince. It is easy to add icing on the cake, but it is difficult to help him in time. Although the Cao family has not yet reached the time of difficulty, it is a blessing to have such relatives. You must know that in order to avoid suspicion, the Cao family has rarely had contacts with the palace in recent years, but the Secret Concubine was able to care about Cao Yong so much. This is really rare.
Life outside the Great Wall day after day, except for the initial novelty, the rest is boredom. On weekdays, Cao Yong, the Sixteenth Prince and Sukhbaru, ran and shot archers. Occasionally, he was pulled by Baoya and accompanied her to play two games of Go. Perhaps because he was often outdoors, Cao Yong's body was much stronger than before, and he seemed to have grown a little taller. Originally, he was only one punch taller than the Sixteenth Prince, but now he is half a head taller.
Because he was following the Sixteenth Prince, Cao Yong and several princes became familiar with each other. In fact, there were not many princes in Rehe at present. The third prince and the seventh prince returned to Beijing after the Holy Lord arrived outside the Great Wall, leaving only the prince, the eighth prince, the thirteenth prince, the fifteenth prince and the sixteenth prince.
The Eighth Prince is always recuperating and rarely appears in front of others. He acts very low-key. When it comes to the Thirteenth Prince and the Fifteenth Prince, they have their own relationships with Cao Yong. Although they are not as kind to him as the Sixteenth Prince, they are still kind of kind.
Cao Yong was at first avoiding the prince. Before the deposed prince, the prince regarded the Cao family as a silver treasury and came up with various things to send minions to the Cao family to ask for money every year. If two-thirds of the deficit of the Cao family was to welcome the lord, one of the other three was the contribution of the prince. After the dethronement and establishment storm, although the prince was still in the throne, his gangsters had been dealt with almost the same way by Emperor Kangxi, and he dared not stretch his hands so far.
In Cao Yong's view, the princes of Rehe are the most similar to Kangxi. Not only in appearance, but also in their behaviors, they also have a faint shadow of Kangxi. The prince was born to Empress Hesheli, Empress Xiaochengren, who was married to Kangxi. He lost his mother and was immediately appointed as the crown prince and was raised by Kangxi himself. Perhaps it was because of the power formed by the crown prince that influenced the emperor's authority; perhaps it was the civil and military achievements of other adult princes that caused the prince's sense of crisis. After the drama of being called "the battle for the throne of the nine dragons" by later generations, the relationship between the father and son became increasingly tense, and finally caused a storm.
Cao Yong knew the direction of history and was not afraid of the unlucky prince, even if he offended Hongxi Beile. The prince was very casual and calm towards Cao Yong, and he was not particularly enthusiastic because of Kangxi and Shiliu's attention, nor did he look at Cao Yong because of the matter in the capital.
Sometimes, if there is no outsider, the prince would gossip with Cao Yong, but it was Cao Yin who had taught him how to shoot archery or the sage wife's kindness. Cao Yong noticed that when talking about these, the prince would often fall into deep thoughts, and a feeling of indescribable remembrance on his face. Perhaps, while he was thinking of the Cao family, he also remembered the years when father and son were blended.
When Cao Yong heard this, he remembered the prince's rough fate. He spent the rest of his life in a circle, and often sighed in his heart that the world was impermanent. The prince was born in the 33rd year of Kangxi. He is only 35 years old now, but his temples are dotted, and he looks several years older than his actual age.
Among the many sons of Kangxi, the one who experienced the most ups and downs was the Thirteenth Prince.
The Thirteenth Prince suffered from rheumatism several times outside the Great Wall, and he was always tormenting pain. Because snake oil essence has analgesic effects on rheumatism, Cao Yong wrote a letter to Jiangning's father, asking his father to send someone to collect it in Fujian. However, the roads between the north and the south are far away, and this kind of folk elixir cannot be found everywhere, and there has been no reply to this day.

It was July 22nd in a blink of an eye. Cao Yong, who had been free for more than half a month, got an errand. He accompanied other guards to escort the Thirteenth Prince, the Fifteenth Prince and the Sixteenth Prince went to the Mongolian Wenniute tribe to celebrate. Kangxi's thirteenth daughter, and Princess Heshuo Wenke, who married the Wenniute tribe, died.
Princess Heshuo Wenke, biological mother Zhang Jia, is the same mother as the Thirteenth Princess and the fifteenth Princess. Born in the 26th year of Kangxi, he was named Princess Heshuo Wenke in the 45th year of Kangxi. In the same year, she married Borjijit Cangjin, the Duling County Prince of the Mongolian Wenniutte tribe.
Kangxi took into account the Thirteenth Prince's health and did not want him to go, but because the Thirteenth Prince asked repeatedly, he agreed.
The death of Princess Heshuo Wenke was a great blow to the Thirteenth Prince. Two months ago, just after the Shengjia arrived in Rehe, his other sister, Princess Heshuo Dunke, who married Princess Heshuo Dunke of Taijidorji, Korqin, died of illness at the age of eighteen.
The Thirteenth Prince's biological mother died early, and the brother and sister were in a deep relationship. In just two months, he lost two relatives, which made him even worse for the illness.

In addition to the 40th Guards, there were also 300 soldiers who escorted the Thirteenth Guards, the fifteenth Guards and the sixteenth Guards.
The Thirteenth Prince ordered a marching force and rushed to Wengniut, and finally arrived before Princess Heshuo Wenke was buried.
After the princess' funeral, everyone stayed in Wengniuti's tribe for two days. Cao Yong followed several princes to set off south and return to Rehe, but received a letter from the news that the Holy Lord had moved north on the second day of the August 2nd. Kangxi ordered the princes to go to the Daban Palace of Balin's Right Banner to prepare for the pickup.
Balin Youqi is very close to the Wengniuti tribe, and the group arrived from that night with light clothes.

Two generations of Qing princesses married into the Bahrain tribe, namely Huang Taiji's eldest daughter Princess Gulun Shuhui and Kangxi's third daughter Princess He Shurongxian. They brought a large number of immigrants here - dowry slaves and various craftsmen. These people lived in one place, forming a large settlement. The center of the settlement was the prince's mansion, Yuanhui Temple and the palace built for Kangxi. There were a large number of brick and tile buildings around it, just like a small town, several times more prosperous than the Wengniu Te tribe, which was amazing.
Urgon, the Duro County Prince of Balin Right Wing Banner, was the prince of Princess Heshuo Rongxian, and Tana's father. He led the crowd to Rehe to worship Kangxi as early as early June. He had seen everyone, and Cao Yong was not unfamiliar with him. Urgon returned to the tribe with his daughter the next day in the case of the prince. Tana's departure made Baoya recite it for several days, which made Cao Yong's ears calluse.
Several princes were unwilling to live in the palace first, so they were invited by Prince Wu Ergon to the palace to be placed in. Cao Yong and his accompanying guards also moved into the palace. This was exactly what Cao Yong thought, and because he wanted to help Wenxiu redeem himself, he was just right to come to Balin. Cao Yong secretly told the sixteenth prince about this and asked him to find a way.
The Sixteenth Prince asked someone to ask Tana about several female slaves named "Boole" under him, but there were not a young woman who was seventeen or eighteen years old and was thin.
Cao Yong couldn't figure it out, was it because he remembered it wrong? The Sixteenth Prince advised Cao Yong to be calm and remain calm, and he would still stay in Bahrain for a while and then search slowly.
While waiting for the throne, Cao Yong was pulled by the sixteenth prince. He hunted for nothing during the day, sang and danced at night, and his days were quite free-to-day - if he ignored Tana's endless provocation.
Somehow, Tana seemed to have become enemies with Cao Yong, and she also believed that she was her own base camp. She became more and more unscrupulous. She always caused some accidents and deliberately found fault and provoked.
How could Cao Yong care about the same little girl movie? Besides, even if he doesn't mention the identity of a noble girl, he is now on the other person's territory. What can he do? So if he can hide, he will not be able to avoid it, and if he can't, he will respond to all changes. With how she sarcastically mocks and arouses his opponents, he just ignored it and let her make trouble by herself.
On this day, Cao Yong returned from hunting with the sixteenth prince and asked his entourage to take prey to the kitchen to clean up. The two were leading their horses to their yard when they heard Tana's sharp voice roaring: "What? Go hunting again? I came yesterday. You said Cao Yong went hunting. Today I came. You said he was going hunting. In the first half of the day, he still hunted in the second half of the day? Could he want to hunt all the living things all over the mountains of Balin? Or did you deliberately treat the princess?"
Hearing the little aunt's shout, Cao Yong's head suddenly became louder and he hurriedly said to the Sixteenth Prince: "Sixteenth Master, take the lead, I'll go to the kitchen to see how the pheasant is doing..."
The sixteenth prince grabbed Cao Yong and laughed in a low voice, "The kitchen is far away, and I can't help but be caught by her after a while. Why not go to the stable? It's close and not obscene. Tana is the most spoiled and can't stand the pickled ones. I know you won't go to search for it even if you are in the stable." As she said that, she handed the reins in her hand to Cao Yong and said with a smile, "We have to clean our horses too."
When Cao Yong saw him laughing, he knew that it was because the results were not as good as he was hunting. He now wanted to ask him to help him clean the horse, and immediately disagreed with him. He took the reins, turned around and sneaked into the stable.
*
"Chao Lu!" After entering the stable, Cao Yong called out the groom who had been familiar with him recently to help him, but a maid came out of the stable and said as he walked: "Uncle Chao Lu is not here..."
The two of them looked at each other and were stunned.
Cao Yong smiled and said, "It's really a fate." The maid was Wen Xiu, who had never been found for several days.
Wenxiu came back to his senses for a while, and then saluted Cao Yong and said, "I wish you goodbye to the Lord."
Cao Yong waved his hand and asked her to avoid the gift. Then he asked, "Why can't you find out about you in the palace? Didn't you use the name of 'Boole'?"
