Yu Xi put down the things in his hands, turned around and faced him, smiling with crooked eyebrows: "I don't see you saying anything like this, what's the matter, but you are messing around outside, and you want me to clean up the aftermath for you?"
Yinzhen scolded: "Nonsense." He immediately pulled her to sit down and said in a good voice, "Do you know why the seventh brother and the others are getting married in such a hurry, and Ke Jing is so anxious to get married in February."
Yu Xi shook his head and smiled: "If it is a matter of the imperial court, how do you ask me to guess?" But his heart was stirred and he said softly, "My mother-in-law said that she heard from Amma that the emperor was preparing military supplies recently. This
Is there going to be a war?”
Yinzhen said happily: "You are so smart."
But Yuxi was smarter and said with a serious face: "You tell me like this, are you going to fight for Huang Ama?"
Yinzhen shook his head: "I still don't know the whole story right now. Whether Huang Ama sent troops to fight or whether he led the troops to fight in person, we are all waiting for the final decision. But this matter must be done, February Ke Jing
Married to Mobei, she is the first among my sisters to marry into Mobei. I estimate that as soon as Kejing gets married, she will join forces with Mobei and Monan to deal with Galdan."
Yu Xi looked nervous and held her husband's hand and said, "Thank you for telling me with a smile. My heart was shaking. But don't worry, if you really go to the battlefield, I will wait for you at home. I will
I often go to the palace to accompany my mother, and you should return in triumph as soon as possible."
"I know that I can't tell anyone else about this now. I was afraid that you would suddenly get the news and panic, so I told you earlier." Yinzhen hugged his beloved wife and talked about the past, saying that back then he wanted to go to desert.
I took a look at Bei Prairie and saw that the third elder brother had walked with the prince once, but he had never experienced the cruelty of the smoke and flames of war.
But Yuxi remembered another incident that year and said to Yinzhen: "I heard Ama and my brothers discuss it at home. Do you still remember that Prince Yu delayed the military plane? It was the eldest brother who came out to testify against Yu.
My dear, this matter has been going on for quite some time."
Yinzhen's face darkened: "At that time, we all felt that Huang Ama was too ruthless, but now I understand that it was not that Huang Ama was ruthless, but that we took family ties too seriously. It was a fact that my uncle delayed the military flight. If
If it were another general, everyone might only care about the losses caused to the court by delaying the military plane. Because it was his uncle and the eldest brother was involved in testifying, everyone focused on the brotherly relationship, which made the emperor appear ruthless and cold.
Do you think so?"
Yu Xi shook his head: "I don't understand. I just want to remind you that if you really go to the battlefield in the future, you should be more careful. It's your first time to go on an expedition. Huang Ama will not send you to fight the enemy. Just go with Da A
It was the same thing that time, but my eldest brother came back and did such a thing, which was really embarrassing."
Yinzhen smiled slightly: "Since you reminded me, I will naturally be cautious." As he spoke, the look in his eyes gradually became ambiguous, and Yuxi's cheeks turned red at the sight of her, but a baby cried, and Yuxi had to stand up and say, "Daughter
I won’t agree.”
Yinzhen didn't force it, and went to see her daughter with her. He thought that the child who was born with a tiger-like head would grow strong in the future, but the child looked like a doll, and although her body was good, she didn't grow much. But it was obvious that the child herself was not strong enough.
Although he was taller, there were unpleasant things said in the government, saying that Fujin would not take care of children. This was obviously an attempt to instigate a relationship between Yuxi and Li. Fortunately, Li and Fujin knew the current affairs best and would not openly provoke Fujin for such a thing.
"Eniang is too careful. She always misses her granddaughter and doesn't want her to be carried around. After a hundred days, she says it's too cold not to carry her out. She gave birth to her and we brothers and sisters are not necessarily so careful."
Yinzhen held his daughter in his arms and saw that Yuxi was staring at the child without moving. His eyes were full of love and affection, which made his heart soften. He couldn't help but feel even more sorry that she could not have a child of her own.
"I took the child to the palace on New Year's Eve. The Queen Mother hasn't seen her yet." Yu Xi smiled and raised her head, but when she saw her husband staring at her, she couldn't help but be surprised. She gently took the child away and put it in the cradle.
Yinzhen held his hand and said, "If you take good care of yourself, we will definitely have children of our own."
Yu Xi felt a little pain in her heart, turned around and leaned against him and said, "As long as you are nice to me, I don't care about anything."
On the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month, the Ministry of Internal Affairs brought the royal coins to the Vice Dutong's Mansion and Prince An's Mansion to perform the initial wedding ceremony. Naturally, the Seventh Fortune Jin was getting married from his own family, while the Eighth Fortune Jin was about to marry from his maternal grandfather's house.
Ba Fu Jin, whose surname is Guo Luo Luo, lost her parents when she was in her infancy, and was raised by her maternal grandfather, Prince An, in the royal palace. Her father had committed a crime and was sentenced to death, and the family had been in trouble for many years. She had never seen any relatives in her father's family, and she was
She was born with a foreign surname, her maternal grandmother had passed away long ago, and her uncles were not born to the same mother as her. Once her maternal grandfather passed away, and there were many children in the palace, no one would really care about her, an orphan with a rough background.
But just because of the death of her grandfather, Prince An's palace lost its former glory. She, the neglected granddaughter with a foreign surname, became a bargaining chip for the marriage between the palace and the royal family. Her life has been much better than in previous years. Under the guidance of old Fujin, she has learned
She learned etiquette, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and waited for her to be the emperor's daughter-in-law when she grew up.
But the third elder brother and fourth elder brother were not chosen by Fu Jin, and the fifth elder brother was not chosen by the Queen Mother. If the seventh elder brother and eighth elder brother were not chosen again this time, she would have no choice but to settle for the next best thing as she got older.
She chooses a son-in-law from among the children, and in short, she must marry a child of the Aixinjueluo family, so as to live up to the years of support given to her by old Fujin.
Fortunately, God was merciful, and thanks to old Fujin's many travels, he finally caught up with the Eighth Prince's trip, and finally everyone in the palace got what they wanted, and she became the emperor's daughter-in-law.
It has always been easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. Prince An's family has been used to the luxurious life of the past. Even though Prince An's son has inherited the title of prince, he still enjoys the salary from the court. But once the family is not taken seriously by the emperor, the salary will be reduced.
The benefits of being outside have been greatly reduced. The former bustling crowds of Prince An's Mansion now seem like a dream, and the desolate situation of being deserted makes the widowed old Fujin very unwilling.
On the day of the first appointment, because a royal daughter-in-law was born in the palace, she was again valued by the clan and nobles, and the bustle returned to its former glory overnight, all thanks to the good news brought by Bafujin, the granddaughter of Bafujin.
As soon as the twelfth lunar month passed, the wedding was held on the tenth day of the first lunar month. After two months of busy work inside and outside the palace, the marriage of the seventh elder brother and the eighth elder brother was finally completed. Two more adult princes left the palace. Looking back at the past
Brother Thirty-Four, who only cried when he was still in his infancy, in the blink of an eye, Yinqi was eight years old after the New Year.
The unstoppable time passed by, and after finishing the wedding of the two elder brothers, everyone came to their senses. This was already in the thirty-fifth year of Kangxi.
On the day of the Lantern Festival, the royal family only held a family banquet in Ningshou Palace. The elder brothers brought Fujin and their children, as well as several dignified and distinguished clan members, to the banquet. Prince An's Mansion was also invited. Since they After the family's granddaughter became the Eighth Fortune Jin, the old Fujin became even more attentive in his interactions with the inner palace.
When the seventh and eighth elder brothers were newly married, they were often teased by the empress dowager when they brought Fu Jin to pay homage to the Queen Mother. The seventh elder brother was very weak, and when the emperor's grandmother told her a joke, she would blush so hard that she couldn't say anything. On the other hand, the eighth elder brother was very generous. , he could respond easily to the Queen Mother, he could say jokes with a smile, and he could speak seriously without showing any hint of timidity or rudeness. Such a graceful attitude of advancing and retreating at the right pace earned the Queen Mother repeated praise.
You must know that among the princes' wives, the above ones are really not liked by people. Even the crown prince in Yuqing Palace is kept at a distance. It was not until Yuxi from the fourth family that things got better. Wufujin was sweet-tempered but not generous enough. Now the new When I came to Bafujin, I was really impressed.
When the banquet was over, Lan Qi personally sent Sister Rong back because she had eaten too much and was drunk. She only wanted to go back to her place after everything was settled. She didn't want to meet someone from Qianqing Palace on the way, saying that the Emperor was drunk and lazy. , asked the empress to go over and serve them, Lan Qi sent Huan Chun back to take care of the children, and she brought someone else to the front.
The warm sedan stopped on the road, and Luzhu leaned against the window and said that there was someone standing and talking in front of her. The eunuchs below had already gone to disperse, but she just said that there were people in front of her who came to speak. They were the female relatives of Prince An's Mansion and the Eighth Prince Bafujin. There.
Lan Qi did not want to act like an imperial concubine and not put Prince An in the eyes of old Fujin, so she specifically let the sedan go down. People over there came to greet him and saluted. Lan Qi called Luzhu to help old Fujin and said politely: "Why don't aunty go out of the palace in a sedan? But those servants below have no rules."
Speaking of asking Luzhu to find someone, Old Fujin hurriedly said: "The sedan was parked at the corner, and I just didn't see it. I happened to meet Ba Age and Ba Fujin. I want to talk to them."
Lan Qi smiled and said: "It's getting late. If you have anything to say, just ask the Bafu Jin to go to the palace tomorrow. Why do you have to get off the sedan in the cold weather? It's late and everything is about to be locked. It's better to let them go earlier. I'll take you back." Then he looked at the eighth prince and told him, "Send old Fujin all the way back to the palace, and be careful yourself."
The eighth prince bowed his head and turned around to look at his wife beside him. Lan Qi still remembered that Ba Fujin, who had been so generous at the banquet just now, had a tense face full of reluctance at the moment. However, Yinsu touched her lightly and rushed to her. She smiled tenderly, then turned around and stood by the roadside with Old Fujin, both asking Concubine De to go first.
Lan Qi said that she was a junior and should let old Fujin go first, but she could not help but was surrounded by people and could only be escorted back to her sedan chair. The eighth prince followed, and the eighth prince Fujin served Concubine De to get on the sedan chair. Lan Qi He said casually: "I often go to your fourth brother's house. If there is anything I don't understand at home, let your fourth sister-in-law teach you. Although they are also young, they have established their own business earlier than you."
At this moment, Ba Fujin showed the same generous and calm smile as at the banquet just now, and politely bowed to Empress De Fei: "The fourth sister-in-law has invited me to have a gathering tomorrow. I am looking forward to it."
