When the Louvre meets the Forbidden City

Empress Hesheli finally gave birth to a little prince at Sishi on the second morning, but the empress also became critically ill due to dystocia. The imperial doctor tried his best to rescue him but was unable to recover, and collapsed in the Kunning Palace at Sishi two hours later.

There was no warning about the queen's death, but when the bad news came out suddenly, the government and the public were shocked, and the palace was in chaos for a while.

Emperor Kangxi was heartbroken and full of condolences for Empress Hesheli. He decreed to stop court for five days.They all gathered to mourn and held their clothes for 27 days.

Suddenly such a major event happened, and Kangxi had no time to care about him. Naturally, Wei Xiaobao couldn't stay in the palace all day with his young emperor's friend and lover. The matter of him giving a banquet to see him off was also forgotten, and no one mentioned it again.

At the beginning, Wei Xiaobao didn’t pay much attention to His Majesty’s need to make a special ceremony to see him off. Kangxi mentioned to him the many ostentations during the farewell, why should there be a halogen book outside the Meridian Gate? Wei Xiaobao had heard about giving clothes, horses, bows and knives, but he didn't appreciate it, but felt a little troublesome.

Now that Kangxi had put this matter behind him, Wei Xiaobao became interested instead, and would spend his spare time pondering: What does the seal of the halogen book look like?

Sitting in the study at home and thinking for a long time, he suddenly woke up, knocked his head, shook his head and laughed at himself, this kind of reaction was too naive, it was not what he should do for a person who is over fifty years old and has read everything in the world, it is pure waste time!You know, he is still busy, and there are important family matters to be resolved before leaving!

Standing up and bypassing the red sandalwood desk in front of him with the Xiangmohu brush, he went outside and shouted, "Shuang'er! Shuang'er! Go and ask the eldest lady to come over, I have something to discuss with her."

The eldest wife, Su Quan, is the most powerful among Wei Xiaobao's wives, and she is also the one Wei Xiaobao can't offend. Wei Xiaobao has always treated her with an attitude of avoiding her edge, and hiding if she can.

I have been hiding for almost two years, and it is already the limit to procrastinate. No matter what, I can't hide any longer. I have to make up my mind to talk to her clearly before going out again. people.

Shuang'er was packing things in the outside room, after hearing this, she left in response, and invited the eldest wife Su Quan over after a while.

When Su Quan entered the study room, he nodded slightly to Wei Xiaobao with a smile that was not a smile, "It's really rare today, when my husband and you took the initiative to talk to me, I don't know why my husband came to discuss with me?" I don't know if she did it on purpose or not , I saw his eyes shifting while speaking, full of obsession.

Wei Xiaobao is now used to looking at the looks of oriental people, and he can clearly tell which is beautiful and which is ugly. He knows that someone like Su Quan is the top of the top, and the beauty of the beauties, even the little emperor's harem may not be able to pick out one. Two beauties of this level.There is not only one like this in his family, but also an even more beautiful A Ke, Wei Xiaobao can't help being a little proud.

First I warmly praised Su Quan's beauty in my heart, and then said, "Madam, please sit down, I have something to talk to you." Then asked Shuang'er to bring a cup of hot tea to Madam, and then went outside Watch out, don't let anyone come in casually.

Su Quan kept his composure, just smiled and watched him tell Shuang'er, wait for Shuang'er to serve tea and go out and close the door, then took a sip from the teacup politely, and then said, "Actually, it doesn't need to be so troublesome, but Shuang'er is still needed." The girl has worked so hard to guard the door, if someone eavesdrops outside, I will naturally find out."

Wei Xiaobao was not afraid of being eavesdropped, but because he was afraid that if the conversation didn't work out for a while, Su Quan would not accept his kindness, and would think that he was humiliating himself, so he would attack him in anger.In terms of martial arts, three Wei Xiaobaos can't defeat one Su Quan, so keep Shuang'er outside, and they can come in to help in times of crisis.

Of course, there is no need to explain this thought to Su Quan, Wei Xiaobao asked her directly, "Madam, did you like any of the young masters you saved last time at Guangyuan Temple?"

Su Quan froze, staring at Wei Xiaobao, "What do you mean?"

"That time you went to Guangyuan Temple was actually specially arranged by me. The purpose was to give you the opportunity to meet some young talents in the capital."

The smile on Su Quan's face disappeared, and he asked in a deep voice, "So what if we meet those young masters?"

Wei Xiaobao made a comforting gesture, "Don't worry, please listen to my explanation."

Su Quan raised her brows, gritted her teeth, and said, "I'm not in a hurry, please tell me, my husband." He added, "Speak slowly and carefully!"

Wei Xiaobao coughed, and patiently said slowly, "...there are seven women in the mansion, among them Fang Yi, Xiaojunzhu and Zeng Rou, I am not very worried. They are willing to live with me, so I will treat them as my relatives Treating me like a friend, living here is better than wandering around the rivers and lakes. If they get bored after a while, they are free to go back to Muwangfu and Wangwupai. It all depends on their own decisions. So I picked one of my lieutenants for her. That person is capable and promising. When the rebels came back, I asked him to come to propose marriage and marry Shuang'er. Ake, the princess, and you were the rest. I've been in trouble for a while, I've thought about it for a long time, and finally decided it's better not to delay your life..."

With a 'snap', Su Quan slammed the tea cup in his hand on the table to interrupt him, and said angrily, "You mean to send us all away! Little Princess, Zeng Rou and the others really don't care, If you don’t marry, you can marry someone else. Men in the world are not dead. They are all young and beautiful. I don’t care about the princess’s golden branches and jade leaves, but sister A Ke and I both gave birth to your child. , you don't even want your son!"

"I want it, of course I want my son, and I'm not crazy, how can I not want my own sons!" Wei Xiaobao dragged the chair and backed away without a trace, and thought it over in his heart, thinking that he didn't need to be called Shuang'er for the time being.

Su Quan took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, stared at him and said, "Then what do you mean?"

Wei Xiaobao continued, "I'm doing it for your own good. It's not a name for you to follow me like this. What's the difference between being a widow? I can't bear it, so I want to make another arrangement."

Su Quan originally thought that Wei Xiaobao was greedy for glory and wanted Princess Shang to be his son-in-law, so he would stay away from these women. Later, he found out that this boy was lawless, and it was true that he hooked up with the princess. He simply stole Princess Jianning home and placed it with the wives and wives.

Su Quan didn't understand what was going on.After Wei Xiaobao got the princess back, he immediately led his troops to Gansu to fight against the Guangxi army. Su Quan wanted to find out but couldn't catch anyone else.I had to be patient and wanted to wait for him to come back.

As a result, Wei Xiaobao beamed at his son and daughter after he came back, but still kept away from his wives. The Wei mansion was almost divided into two halves, half where the wives lived and the other half where Lord Wei lived.It's really annoying and helpless, no matter how powerful Su Quan is, she is still a woman, and she can't do something like snatch a man back to the room.

Now finally Wei Xiaobao is willing to speak clearly, it is actually a plan as long as his son does not want them, how can Su Quan not be angry, and he is extremely confused when he is angry, "What is your reason, sister A Ke and I ask ourselves He is not an ugly person, do you still despise him?"

Wei Xiaobao knew it was hard to make sense of this, so he dragged it on until now before he said it. Seeing Su Quan's pretty face flushed red and her chest rising and falling, it could be seen that she was very angry. She is really a beauty, even when she is angry Beautiful, Wei Xiaobao felt very pity and guilt in his heart, and felt that he was really sorry for them, so he had to tell the truth, "It's because I only like men now, and I'm not interested in women anymore."

"Ah!" Su Quan was dumbfounded, and said after a while, "What did you say, say it again!"

Shuang'er's voice suddenly came from outside the door, "My lord, Chief Li from the palace is here, and has been greeted by the steward to serve tea in the front hall, please hurry over."

Wei Xiaobao glanced apologetically at Su Quan who was still in a daze, got up and left in a hurry.

The person who came was Li Jinchao, the deputy chief eunuch next to Kangxi. He had a good personal relationship with Wei Xiaobao, and he had received a lot of benefits from Wei Xiaobao in private, so he could be regarded as one of his own.Seeing that Wei Xiaobao came out, he stood up and said with a smile, "How is Master Wei these two days?"

Wei Xiaobao cupped his hands, "Please sit down, please sit down, Mr. Li is thinking about me, I'm fine."

Wei Xiaobao used to enter the palace almost every day to see her, but this time the empress had an accident, Kangxi was busy with the empress's funeral, the first one to be neglected was Wei Xiaobao, and he hadn't been allowed to enter the palace for two days.

Li Jinchao secretly thought that he would not be in a good mood at this time, so he didn't talk too much nonsense, and said directly, "This morning, the emperor thought of the matter that he said a few days ago to see Mr. Wei off, and he might not have time to deal with it. Let me tell you, he will dispatch a thousand soldiers from the Vanguard Battalion to escort you to Gansu."

Wei Xiaobao thought to himself that although the little emperor was very talented in sweet talk, he never said anything nice, but he did things in a down-to-earth way, so he nodded and smiled, "Okay, I see, you go back and tell His Majesty, it's fine if you can't see him off, don't let it go In my heart."

There are a lot of things going on in the Heavenly Palace these days, and several managers are extremely busy. Li Jinchao hurriedly got up to leave after exchanging a few words of greetings. Taking it out of the sedan chair for a closer look, I saw that the whole body of the ring finger is green and transparent, without any flaws. It is a real top-grade Laokeng glass jade. I couldn't help but praise Mr. Wei, "the etiquette is really thoughtful!" '

Wei Xiaobao was lamenting that the practice of bribery in the officialdom was too strong, and if things went on like this, the government would inevitably become corrupt!He still doesn't care about it now, when the power reaches that point in the future, he must rectify it.

In the past two days, his cronies in the army sent back news, saying that the situation in Shaanxi and Gansu has changed again. Leerjin, king of Shuncheng County on the eastern front, has led his army to Yangping Pass, but the soldiers who have been stationed there already The horse stared at them, and his attitude was not friendly. It seemed that he didn't regard them as allies, but wanted to bring his troops under his banner. The deputy general Zhang Yong who stayed there was dealing with King Shuncheng under pressure.

Wei Xiaobao thought that Su Quan would definitely need time to think about what they had just said, so he stopped looking for her. After sending Li Jinchao away, he went back to his bedroom directly, preparing for an early rest and recharging his energy. It is time to leave tomorrow morning. .

The lack of interest of the little emperor and the entanglement of the wives at home are small things, just take care of them. The real big pressure is on the battlefield. The current situation is much more complicated and difficult than he expected. There are several tough battles to be fought, not only against Wu Sangui's rebels, but also against his own people!

However, he was not troubled when he was under pressure. Instead, he was slightly excited. Because of these pressures, he felt the long-lost excitement again. It was the passionate fighting spirit from the bottom of his heart when facing challenges!It was this high-spirited emotion that inspired him to break out of the predicament again and again, turn the crisis into safety, and let his life reach a new peak!
