[Qing Chuan] No pet little promise

After lunch, Yinzhen left.

After sending off the royal driver respectfully, the whole family returned to the main hall.

Inside the main house in the backyard.

Mrs. Tai held Taifei Yi's hand and sat on the edge of the couch.Several daughters-in-law sat at the bottom.

"Why does the emperor suddenly think of our family?" After sending the emperor away, Mrs. Tai was still in a dream.

"Your majesty must value Prince Heng, and came here when he heard that Prince Heng is here." The eldest lady complimented.

"That's right, among the brothers, only our prince can be relied on for help." The fourth lady also echoed.Seventh elder brother, the descendant of the late emperor, is lame and unable to serve as an official, and the rest are underage.

Concubine Yi smiled and did not respond. She was very aware of her son's qualifications. His intelligence could only be described as mediocre. For him.

Besides, if you really value the fifth elder brother, you can just go directly to the palace, why bother with such detours.

The second lady turned her eyes, "Could it be because of the fate with our family?"

There was a moment of silence in the room.

Mrs. Tai's eyes gradually turned red, "The emperor is a man of true temperament, I'm afraid he still misses fifth girl."

That used to be the granddaughter she cherished the most.

As the biological mother, the eldest lady felt even more uncomfortable, tears almost fell down.

"Oh, it's a pity that the child is not blessed." Mrs. Tai sighed again and again.It was because Guo Luoluo was unlucky. At that time, they only thought that they had lost a prince, Fujin, but now it seems that they have lost the position of queen!

The second lady sighed, "I remember the day before the fifth girl's death, the emperor sent someone to send a sacrifice."

The eldest lady held back her tears, "The emperor is a long-term lover."

She also heard that after her daughter passed away, the fourth elder brother mourned extremely, and even wrote poems to pay tribute to her.My daughter is a beautiful woman with both talent and appearance, and it is reasonable for a man to admire her.

Although I don't know when he saw his daughter.

Amidst the sighs, Mrs. Tai thought further.The Guo Luoluo clan started as a military general, and now the world is safe and peaceful, seeing that the opportunities for military generals to make meritorious deeds are becoming less and less.In the future, the glory of the family cannot rely solely on the men outside, the girls also have to support it.Manchus always valued girls, and their Guo Luoluo family especially worked hard to teach their daughters.

Among the girls of the previous generation, there is Concubine Yi who is a favorite concubine of the holy family, and their Guo Luoluo clan has been honored for many years. Now that the new emperor has just ascended the throne, with this old relationship, there is great hope .

It just so happens that Concubine Yi is here, she can help her.

***

Wei Rong had just returned to the side hall, and before he had time to eat lunch, he was called to meet Concubine Yi.

With Yinzhen's suggestion, Wei Rong was relieved a lot.Following the crowd to the main room with the attitude of coming and going.

The big maid in front of the door raised the curtain, and several girls entered one after another.

She thought she was here to thank her, but when she entered the upper room, Wei Rong noticed that the people who were called were all teenage girls waiting to be married, and none of the younger ones came.

Five people entered the room, and a maid had already spread out a row of cushions.

Wei Rong knelt down obediently, and followed everyone to salute, "Greetings to the empress dowager."

"Let's all be flat." Mrs. Tai smiled.

Concubine Yi also had a smile on her face, she glanced at several beautiful nieces and daughters, and when she saw the last one, her eyes froze.

Did she get it wrong?Or is there really such a similar-looking person in the world?

Seeing her staring at Wei Rong, the eldest lady smiled and said, "Liu girl just came out of the palace, and speaking of it, I owe it to you to take care of me for those few months."

Concubine Yi's brows twitched, she agreed twice, and lowered her gaze.

Mrs. Tai called her two beloved granddaughters to come forward, holding hands and talking to Mrs. Yi.

The atmosphere returned to harmony, Concubine Yi agreed with her mother, talking and laughing happily.Chatted with every girl, and when it was Wei Rong's turn, she mentioned her parents and wiped the corners of her eyes with a silk handkerchief.

"Third brother left unexpectedly, fortunately there is still a single seedling like you..."

If he hadn't noticed her strange sight before, Wei Rong would have suspected that she didn't recognize him.

Sure enough, after staying in the palace for so many years, no matter how straightforward a person is, he has already cultivated to become "fine".

***

It was not until the afternoon that Concubine Yi and Prince Heng took their leave.

Concubine Yi boarded the chariot, and Prince Heng walked beside him on horseback.

Seeing that his mother was worried, he approached and asked.

Concubine Yi said absent-mindedly: "It's your grandmother who wanted to send another daughter into the palace."

Yun Qi thought about it, before the emperor was still the fourth elder brother, he did have a marriage contract with Guo Luoluo.

"But now entering the palace, I'm afraid it's hard to get a position in the middle palace." Guo Luoluo's family is also considered a first-class noble family, but not the top.Moreover, Yuxin, the eldest daughter of the first lineage, is only 12 years old, so it is impossible for her to enter the palace.The status of the concubine is inferior.

"Yeah, your grandmother also thinks so, but I don't know which one to give."

"Naturally, it's better to choose the color. I don't think the sixth sister is bad." Yunqi blurted out.

Concubine Yi's expression was stiff, "When did you see it?"

"When I sent my mother out just now, several cousins ​​followed behind, and I saw it at a glance."

Among a group of young and beautiful girls, she has a particularly outstanding appearance, which is amazing at first sight.Yun Qi clicked his tongue twice, if it wasn't for his mother's cousin, he would really look like a side Fujin.

Concubine Yi's face darkened, "Shut up!" After saying that, she threw down the curtain of the car.

Yun Qi didn't know which words she said annoyed Er Niang, so she stopped talking in a daze.

In the sealed car, Concubine Yi leaned on the pillow and smiled wryly.

It's no wonder that this niece was dragged into the palace by the Ministry of Internal Affairs under the banner of her as soon as she entered Beijing.It is said that because she looks exactly like Ce Wang's dead wife, she can just marry Junggar.

She thought it was pretty good after hearing it, and this was also the glorious contribution of their Guo Luoluo family.

Originally, I wanted to summon this niece and daughter to meet her and tell her some words of loyalty to the country.But was blocked.

She sensed something was wrong right then, and wondered if it was because this girl didn't know how to flatter her and kept crying, that's why she stopped her from seeing her family?Or the emperor had other ideas about Zhun Geer, obviously it was a marriage, but actually secretly trained her to be an assassin or something?

After thinking about it for a while, I didn't expect to find out the answer today.

Your Majesty, Your Majesty!She didn't know how to evaluate this matter.

Concubine Yi finally shook her head, that's all, this matter hurt the face of the late emperor, it must not be spread to the outside world, just treat her as the third brother's orphan.

***

Because of the arrival of Concubine Yi and Yu Jia, the entire Guo Luoluo family's mansion was busy all day, and the next day it was busy dealing with relatives and friends who came to visit and inquire about the matter.

These things have nothing to do with Wei Rong, she had a good night's sleep that night, and the next day, she started planning to go out.

It's a pity that she hasn't seen the scenery of the capital with her own eyes after traveling through these years.

There are many properties under her name, including farms outside the city and shops in the inner city.

The pile of land deeds were all found in the dowry box, and Wei Rong knew at a glance that it was specially prepared by someone, including the dim sum shops she negotiated with him in the back garden of Yonghe Palace.

Yufu and the others only regarded it as a reward arranged by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and repeatedly lamented that the Ministry of Internal Affairs is kind and kind, not only rewarding so many jewels, jade, gold and silver, but also arranged for farm shops!

The Guo Luoluo family didn't restrict their daughter very much, Wei Rong reported the request to go out to the eldest lady of the family, of course he didn't say that he wanted to visit his own shop, but only said that he wanted to go shopping in the inner city and buy some clothes and jewelry.

A day later, the Da Furen agreed, and the concierge prepared the carriage and the people following the carriage. The next day, Wei Rong went out smoothly.

Bringing Yufu and Yulian, followed by two servants from the small courtyard, and two coachmen and servants, the group left the mansion.

Wei Rong originally wanted to spend a day strolling around from shop to shop, but she didn't expect to overestimate the speed of the carriage these days. It took a whole morning to visit a calligraphy, painting, literature and play shop, and a silk and satin shop.

Knowing that it was the owner who came to the door, the two storekeepers welcomed him in respectfully, and reported the store's management and personnel matters. The specifications were neat and respectful. Wei Rong suspected that someone had told him in advance.

The people who run the two stores are smart and capable, and the accounts are clear. There is really nothing to be picky about.

After leaving the silk and satin village, she was hungry, of course Wei Rong would not treat her badly, and went directly to the nearest restaurant.

The steward who followed the car went to the restaurant to pass the news, then opened the door of the backyard, and the carriage drove in directly.

Screening away the idle people waiting around, Yufu helped Wei Rong get out of the carriage.

Wei Rong had to sigh with emotion.It is really inconvenient for women in this era. Just now when I went to visit the shop, all the carriages drove directly into the courtyard. When getting out of the carriage, I had to put on a veiled cap and a cloak, everything was tightly covered.

This is an open-minded family like the Guo Luoluo family. If it is a family that pays special attention to etiquette and rules, the number of times girls go out throughout the year is limited.

After entering the top floor, the food and drinks have already been set up in the box.In order to prevent someone from bumping into her, the boxes on the left and right were also booked.

Based on the principle of not wasting, Wei Rong ordered someone to set up a table in the next room, and let the servants who followed the car take turns to eat.

Sixth Miss was generous, and the rewards were generous, and the stewards and servants who followed the car were all overjoyed.

Only Yufu was left in the room to serve. Wei Rong ate a few dishes, and the taste was not bad.Although not as detailed as in the palace, it is fresh and delicious.

While eating, Wei Rong suddenly felt a chill.As if being stared at.

Looking up at the window, across the garden is another bakery on the top floor.

The doors and windows inside were closed, and no one seemed to be using it.

Wei Rong shook her head, shook off the inexplicable thoughts, and continued to eat.

***

In the box opposite.

The tall figure standing by the window slowly withdrew his gaze, his face gloomy.

The guard beside him said in a low voice: "Khan, it's very rude for the Qing emperor to turn back on what he says, otherwise we might as well take him away, rush out of the capital, and return to Mobei."

"This is the capital city, do you think it's a flat grassland?" Ce Wang reprimanded.

The leader of the guards dared not speak again in embarrassment.

Ce Wang's eyes were heavy, and the person who had agreed to get married at first, but after he went to Beijing, he was told that the candidate was changed to the princess of the Aixinjueluo clan.The ceremonial officer who announced it was all smiles, thinking that this was the value of Zhuanger Khanate.But it's not what Ce wants.

However, this matter has been announced to the world, and it is irreversible.Going back on this matter will affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries.

He only felt that his breath was stuck in his chest, and he didn't turn his face on the spot because he relied on his reason.

It is impossible to change the candidate, but it is also impossible for him to give up.

Fortunately, the officials in the previous peace talks mentioned that it was Guo Luoluo's daughter who was supposed to marry.He arranged for people to watch Guo Luoluo's mansion, and he found her.

Looking at the unconscious Wei Rong in the box.A smile appeared on the corner of Ze Wang's lips,

His dark green eyes were like a pool of deep water, brewing a storm.
