After coming out of the Ganqing Palace, Yuzhu led Cao Chun to Cining Palace to pay homage to the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager likes flowers, plants, rockery and strange rocks, and usually stays in Xianruo Pavilion.
After reporting, Yuzhu and Cao Chun entered the Xianruo Pavilion, but saw Cao Yi sitting next to the Empress Dowager, whispering a joke.
"The first class guard with swords in front of the imperial chief, Yuzhu, please respectfully invite the Empress Dowager Sheng'an." Yuzhu took a few steps quickly and took the lead in worshiping.
"First-class male lady, servant Cao Jia, please respectfully invite the Empress Dowager Sheng'an." Cao Chun followed closely behind and squatted down to bow.
Lao Wu always said good things about Yuzhu in front of the Empress Dowager.
Moreover, the Empress Dowager also knew that Lao Wu and Yu Zhu were so safe, so she treated Yu Zhu as her own person.
"Get up. Come on, give me a seat and serve tea." After the Empress Dowager gave her a smile, she waved to Cao Chun and said, "Good boy, come, come to me, let me take a good look at you." ”
Yuzhu knew in his heart that Cao Chun might not understand Mongolian language, so he took the initiative to take on the work of translation...
The Empress Dowager took Cao Chun's little hand, looked at it carefully, and then smiled and said to Yuzhu: "You are a lucky person, such a handsome Geri!"
Gerigo, in Mongolian language, means wife.
Yuzhu knew that the Empress Dowager loved Wu Jiwu because of the Wu Wu relationship, and she was particularly kind to him.
"Go back to the Empress Dowager, relying on the emperor's kindness, I will take a big advantage." Yuzhu continued to speak in Mongolian.
The Empress Dowager immediately became interested, put aside Cao Chun, who did not understand Mongolian language, and talked with Yuzhu about various beautiful things on the grassland.
"Oh, I want to ride a horse again, but unfortunately, the emperor refused to let him go." The Empress Dowager felt wronged.
How dare Yuzhu talk too much?
If the Empress Dowager falls out of the horse, at least Kangxi will be forced to chop off his head no matter how much he likes him.
Facing the Empress Dowager's hopeful gaze, Yuzhu felt a little reluctant, so he came up with a good idea that was both in line with the Empress Dowager's thoughts and was also very happy with Kangxi.
"Emoge Eji (Old Ancestor), why would you please ask the emperor to accompany you to Mount Wutai to relax?"
Yuzhu knew better than anyone else. Kangxi liked to go out on a tour, and he liked to go on a banner of empress dowager traveling the most.
The Empress Dowager was originally the daughter of the grassland. She was used to being free on the grassland and always felt that the palace was too boring.
Upon hearing Yuzhu's proposal, the Empress Dowager nodded immediately and ordered the aunts and nannies around her.
"You all remember it. At that time, I will give me a word with the emperor."
“Ware.”
This flattery, even if Yuzhu is photographed in place!
Yuzhu is very clear-headed. Anyway, Kangxi is also a person who can't sit still and always has to spend money to travel around.
Instead of getting the benefits from others, it would be better to just ask for something from Yuzhu in front of the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager and Yuzhu had a very happy chat, while Cao Yi kept secretly watching his sister Cao Chun's every move.
Cao Chun was originally under the Zhengbai Banner of the Han Army. When she was asking for marriage to Yuzhu, she was carried into the Zhengbai Banner Manchuria.
In this way, Cao Chun and his legitimate sister Cao Yi became Shangsanqi people with the same subordinate.
Cao Chun had noticed it long ago, and Cao Yi looked at her and smiled.
After all, they were sisters, so Cao Chun quietly smiled unrestrainedly.
Cao Yi could see that there was an unconcealable spring feeling between Cao Chun's eyebrows and eyes.
Well, I had a bed with Yuzhu last night and tasted the pain of broken melons and the joy of fish and water?
Although Cao Chun and Cao Yi are sisters, their relationship is average.
Although the Cao family is a Han army bannerman, it is a habit of the Han people at heart. The treatment of legitimate and illegitimate sisters is thousands of miles apart.
When Yuzhu accompanied the Empress Dowager, chatted for a good time and led Cao Chun away, Cao Yi had not left yet.
Yuzhu’s impression of Cao Yi is neither good nor bad. At most, he is just a wife and sister.
After leaving Xianruo Hall, Yuzhu and Cao Chun went to pay homage to Concubine Xiao Tong again.
Yuzhu's new wife would be very unfilial if she didn't come to pay her respects to her aunt's father.
When Concubine Xiao Tong saw Yuzhu and Cao Chun, she was extremely happy. Not only did she admire a lot of objects in the palace, but she also held Cao Chun's hand and said a lot of self-cultivation for a long time.
When the women were whispering, Yuzhu naturally couldn't continue to stay in the hall to listen, so he found an excuse and went to the back garden of Jingren Palace.
Concubine Xiao Tong is Yuzhu's biological aunt, so there are naturally not so many taboos.
After staying in the palace for a long time and knowing the taboos, Yuzhu sat in the pavilion, drinking tea and enjoying the scenery.
However, what Ling Yuzhu never expected was that Cao Yi was coming.
"I've seen my elder sister." Yu Zhu was a polite person. After hearing the movement, he saw that Cao Yi was coming, so he bowed and bowed from a distance.
Cao Yi just pretended not to notice that Yuzhu was deliberately distant, and walked straight to him. While squatting and saluting, he suddenly whispered: "Be careful of Nersu, he is planning with the Fourteenth Master.
What."
Yuzhu was slightly stunned. Isn’t Neersu Cao Yi’s man? What’s going on with her?
Before Yuzhu could react, Cao Yi had already stood up and walked out.
Men and women are not close to each other, let alone Cao Yi is the wife of the prince, so he should avoid suspicion.
However, Yuzhu did not ignore Cao Yi's warning and kept secretly watching the every move of Nersu and Lao Shisi.

Soon, before New Year's Eve, all the yamen in the capital will be sealed.
Banners call the beginning of the Spring Festival "seal", and "seal day" means that the bannermen can start preparing for the New Year.
The so-called seal day means the most auspicious day among the four days from the 19th to the 22nd day of the 12th lunar month measured by the Imperial Day.
From this day on, all governments can "seal" the official seals, and all private schools can also have annual leave, which means the beginning of the Spring Festival holiday.
Generally speaking, the seal day of the imperial court is mostly concentrated on the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month.
After "Seal Day", you can start preparing New Year's goods.
According to convention, the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month can be called the first day of the New Year.
From this day on, bannermen often "sacrifice the Kitchen God", and yellow sheep are the best offerings for people to offer sacrifices to the Kitchen God.
Ordinary bannermen cannot afford the cost of a whole yellow sheep. Most of them use stove candy, fruit and horse feeding materials as sacrifices, among which the stove prince is used for feeding horses on the road.
On this day, some bannermen have already started to set off fireworks and firecrackers.
As soon as the firecrackers sounded, the New Year atmosphere in the whole city of Beijing came out.
On the day of sealing, other Beijing yamen began to have holidays, but Yuzhu still led his squad to guard the Qianqing Palace.
There is no way, anyone can have a holiday, but the imperial guards must rotate their posts as usual.
After ringing the clock, Yuzhu put down the book in his hand, sorted out his clothes, led his people to patrol around the Qianqing Palace.
The biggest event in the palace is not only to guard against assassins, but also to prevent water from being discharged (fire).
I heard from the old eunuch in the palace that in the 18th year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi, water flowed from the Palace of Supreme Harmony and burned it for five days and five nights.
As a result, Kangxi was extremely furious and hanged the six officials and eunuchs who had neglected their duties.
Jade Pillar knows better than anyone else that the Forbidden City of the Ming Dynasty, from Emperor Yongle to Emperor Chongzhen, the number of fires caught as many as 40 or 50 times.
The most powerful one was that the second year after Emperor Yongle moved the capital to Beijing, the three newly built halls were burned to pieces, and the tiles were gone.
Even if Yuzhu is favored, he will not dare to be careless when he is in the process of leaving the water.
After a complete inspection, Yuzhu had just returned to the duty room and sat down to have a sip of tea when he saw Wei Zhu coming.
"Mr. Yu, Master Yu has given you instructions and ordered you to change your casual clothes and prepare to protect your car." After Wei Zhu issued the oral order, he quietly squeezed at Yuzhu three times.
Yuzhu understood in a flash that Mr. Huang was going out of the palace to play, and he was still at the third brother's mansion.
It is generally believed that Kangxi loved the fourth son in his own right, but in fact, this is a wrong understanding.
In his later years, the prince's mansion, which he visited the most, was actually the third child's home.
Not to mention anything else, Yuzhu has been with Kangxi to the third brother's mansion in the past few months as the foreman, in the past few months.
The Beile Mansion of the third son of the emperor, Yinzhi, is located in Guanyuan on the southeast of Xizhimen South Street.
When Kangxi went out in a mist, he didn't like to bring too many people to follow him.
However, Yuzhu shoulders the heavy responsibility of protecting the carriage, how dare he be careless?
The emperor has requirements, but safety is safe and safe, which is indeed a dilemma.
At this time, Yu Zhu's real ability is best seen.
Yuzhu deliberately delayed Kangxi's travel time so that the casual guards sent in advance rushed to the vicinity of Guanyuan and controlled the idle people passing by.
The news of the emperor's trip was a top secret. Yuzhu did not dare to tell anyone except the guards sent out.
If you are not strict with your mouth, you will lose your head sooner or later.
After Yuzhu served Kangxi as he got on the carriage, Kangxi called him into the carriage and talked with him.
"You sent someone to the third brother's side in advance?" Kangxi could understand everything when he calmed down.
Yuzhu smiled and said, "No matter what I did, I can't hide it from your old eyes."
Kangxi was very comfortable when he was photographed, so he stroked his beard and smiled, saying, "You just like to be troublesome. I used to be often out of the palace, so how could you be so troublesome?"
Being a great guard for the emperor and obedient voice is a necessary basic skill.
There were some things that the emperor clearly didn't say, but Yuzhu had to do quietly.
There are some things that even if the emperor spoke in person, Yuzhu would not take seriously.
If you take it seriously, if something goes wrong and you can't end up losing money, it's impossible that it's Kangxi, but only Yuzhu.
When he arrived at the third brother's mansion, Kangxi went straight into the side door as before.
When they were out, it was not convenient for the guards in casual clothes to wear knives brightly, and their belts were like a soft sword.
"My son Yinzhi, please invite Khan Ama Sheng'an." The third brother was still outside the Chuhua Gate, waiting for Kangxi's saint to come, just like last time.
"My minister, Sun Hongsheng, please invite Khanmafa Sheng'an."
The eldest son of the third brother, Hongsheng, is just eleven years old this year. This child has had smallpox early, and is as numb as Kangxi.
Yuzhu could see that Kangxi did not like Hongsheng.
Because, like his biological father, this child likes to be clever, but he is also very fake.
