Kaolin Flower Raiders Guide

See you in the next year, and it will be difficult to see you in the next year.

Emperor Yunkang held a grand banquet for all the officials, during which the second prince chatted loudly and stroked the tiger's whiskers, making Emperor Yunkang very happy.I don't know which minister mentioned that the second prince will be crowned in a few months, and Emperor Yunkang mentioned it like a sigh, Xing'er is about to grow up, and there is no caring person around him.It was supposed to be a matter of discussion between Emperor Yunkang and Concubine Ning, but it was brought to the banquet of the ministers, and no one took up the matter for a while.

Emperor Yunkang said with a smile: "All lovers, there is no need to panic. The prince's marriage is a major event. It is not a bad idea to discuss it with all of you."

The first one to stand up was a man in Tsing Yi at the end of the ceremony, who said in a loud voice: "My minister, Li Wanjun, go back to your majesty. I think this is a big matter, so I can first list the women of the right age with clean family backgrounds, your majesty and the imperial concubine. After looking over it, the empress will calculate the date of birth with the second prince's, and the final decision will be made by His Majesty himself."

Emperor Yunkang leaned his elbows on the dragon chair, did not reply, but turned to Ning Guogong, and said casually: "Guo Gong, what do you think?"

Ning Guogong got up immediately, clasping his hands in front of him: "Your Majesty will definitely be able to choose a good match for the second prince. I have no other ideas. What this Master Li said is also a feasible method."

"All right, what about you?" Emperor Yunkang glanced sharply at Xie Shenxing, smiling unabated.I only heard that Xie Shenxing said respectfully: "The ministers listen to the emperor, and the selection of the princess is entirely up to the emperor."

"Since that's the case, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will draw up the list tomorrow and send it to me in three days."

After the banquet was over, Qi Jiansi was worried and walked towards the outside of the hall as if fleeing.Thinking that it was a disaster, Xiao Huizi, Cao Fuzhong's apprentice, ran up to him in small steps, and said cleverly, "Lord Qi, stay a while, Your Majesty calls you to the South Study Room." Qi Jiansi's unhappiness was written all over his face, Follow Xiao Huizi to the direction of the South Study Room.

Emperor Yunkang held a jasper inkstone in his hand, and said: "Jian Si, don't be nervous, I ordered you to come, it's nothing serious. It's just that I haven't seen your father for a long time, how is Qi Aiqing recently?"

In the past two years, Qi Ce has been proclaiming that he is constantly suffering from various illnesses, and it is difficult for him to go to the court to discuss matters.In fact, he recruits cats and dogs at the house, shares family relationships with his wife and daughter, only pushes the adult Qi Jiansi to work, and rarely pays attention to official affairs.Emperor Yunkang has always turned a blind eye to a boy who has just turned [-], or confronted this father and son, in anyone's eyes he would not choose the latter.

"Return to Your Majesty, father these days has always been weak in the waist and legs, unable to stand for a long time."

Emperor Yunkang beckoned him to come over, Qi Jiansi followed the emperor's wishes and spread out the rice paper, seeing the Zihao brush swaying on the paper, there were two large characters.Ueda and lower mind are for thinking, while upper and lower minds are for kindness.

"The two of you, brother and sister, both have good names."

Qi Jiansi's heart was beating wildly, and he braced himself up and said: "Grandfather is the name bestowed by the minister and the minister's sister. I don't dare to say anything when I see it, so I should take it for granted."

When mentioning the word grandfather, Emperor Yunkang looked up at him and said: "I remember, your younger sister will be sixteen this year."

"Ah Ci just reached Ji a few months ago, and she is not yet sixteen. She has a very bad temper. After a few days in school, she clamored to go home. She has been raised by her mother and nanny all along." Tightly shut, I only hope that Emperor Yun Kang can listen to it for a while.

Emperor Yunkang couldn't see through what he was thinking, stared at the cold young man with downcast eyes and said: "Jin Yuan is also at this age."

Qi Jiansi shook his pitch-black eyelashes, and said in a deep voice: "The third princess has golden branches and jade leaves, is well-educated and sensible, and although Ah Ci is the same age as the princess, he is extremely stubborn, not as good as the princess."

Emperor Yun Kang was silent for a long time, his eagle-like eyes fixed on Qi Jiansi's face, as if he wanted to see him clearly, but finally gave up the idea of ​​embarrassing this junior.Qi Jiansi had a brocade box in his sleeve, and in the box was a tortoiseshell hairpin that Emperor Yunkang ordered him to bring to Qi Jianci before he was driven away.

This tortoiseshell hairpin is like an alarm bell, reminding Qi Jiansi all the time that his only sister is very likely to become Nao Shizi's princess.

Qi Mansion.

Mrs. Qi and a servant girl were holding Qi Jianci to teach her how to embroider. With their fingers flying, the gold-edged peonies on the silk cloth seemed to be in full bloom in front of Qi Jianci's eyes.Qi Jianci nestled beside his mother, the mother and daughter heard the hurried footsteps at the same time, and the next moment the carved wooden door slammed.

Mrs. Qi frowned slightly, and asked softly: "Si'er?"

After seeing Qi Jiansi's complex face, Mrs. Qi realized that something had happened, she gathered herself together: "Si'er, you are in such a hurry, what happened?"

Qi Jiansi usually doesn't like his mother calling him Si'er the most, his younger sister is A Ci, and to him it's Si'er, but it sounds like a brother and sister who have lost each other.

Today he was really not in the mood to correct the title, so he paused, took out the brocade box in his sleeve, and then said: "The emperor mentioned the matter of finding a concubine for the second prince at the banquet of the officials today, and he called I went to the South Study Room."

Mrs. Qi was slightly startled, and the embroidery piece in her hand fell to the ground.Qi Jianci and Qi Jiansi are five points alike, with the same curved eyebrows and thin lips, the difference is that she has a pair of almond eyes.Those apricot eyes full of aura were full of fear, Qi Jianci was already spoiled, and immediately rushed in front of his mother and asked, "Could it be that you want me to be the second prince's concubine?"

If the daughter of another family had heard such news, she would have been so ashamed that she would have hid long ago. Only his younger sister was not afraid of anything, but she was 1 unwilling, with the three big characters of disbelief written on her face.

The tortoiseshell hairpin was held by Mrs. Qi, she calmed down and looked at Qi Jiansi: "Does the emperor really have this intention?"

"Don't say it's absolutely true," Qi Jiansi lowered his voice, lowering his eyes, "There are nine out of ten."

Qi Jianci didn't think it was a great honor, so he sat down as if frightened, subconsciously wrapped his arms around Mrs. Qi's waist, and said in a crying voice: "Mother, I don't want it, I don't want to marry the second prince!"

Qi Jianci buried in his mother's arms for a while, then raised his head again and said: "Brother, you have a way to teach the second prince not to choose me, you should think of a way, I'm afraid, I'm really afraid..."

Qi Jiansi looked at his sister with hazy eyes, and his face turned cold again.Why didn't he understand his younger sister's resistance? The emperor's family is the most difficult to get along with. The Qi family has never had a queen, not even half a noble concubine. Let his delicate and naive younger sister marry into the palace, if it is just a princess, However, in the current situation, if his silly sister enters the palace, she will probably be entangled with countless women in the palace in the future. Without the protection of her parents and brothers, she really has to shed her skin to save her life.

Qi Ce has not yet returned to the mansion, and he does not know that his wife and children are all worried about the same thing, and when he returns, there will be another troublesome person in the Qi mansion.

In the south study room, incense was burning in the dragon pattern censer, and the steam was steaming, which made Emperor Yunkang feel depressed.Thinking of Qi Jiansi's reluctant face a few hours ago, Emperor Yunkang threw down the Zihao pen heavily.Cao Fuzhong slanted his eyes and drove away the maids and eunuchs in the hall in a low voice: "Hurry up, don't you feel comfortable not seeing His Majesty!"

Then quietly walked around behind Emperor Yunkang, pressed the temples of Emperor Yunkang lightly and heavily with his rough fingertips, and said tentatively: "Your Majesty, take care of the dragon body."

Emperor Yun Kang slowly opened his eyes, scanned the unchanged room, waved his hands and said: "Go to the Imperial Garden for a walk, don't ask people to follow you."

Cao Fuzhong responded: "Hey! This old servant will follow your majesty."

In the first month, the sky is cold and the flowers are dormant, but the plum fragrance remains the same.Holding a bright yellow cloak in his arms, Cao Fuzhong followed Emperor Yunkang step by step.After all, Emperor Yunkang was nearly half a hundred years old, he couldn't walk for long in this icy and snowy place, so he found the Sijiao Pavilion to rest nearby.Cao Fuzhong just stood quietly behind him. The master he followed was serving the old emperor. When the master was gone, he stepped forward until Emperor Yunkang became the great treasure, and Cao Fuzhong was still standing beside him.

In the past 30 years, Cao Fuzhong has understood too many things, the most obvious of which is that as long as the emperor does not speak, he will stand aside as a decoration, and there will be no mistakes.

Emperor Yunkang seemed to be about to speak, but he heard the sound of Xixisuo.Cao Fuzhong craned his neck and looked over, they were just two little palace maids, they seemed to have received food, and they gathered together to talk about themselves.In the new year, the management of these servants in the palace was looser than before. Seeing that Emperor Yunkang had no intention of speaking, Cao Fuzhong withdrew.

The snow piled on the rockery tightly covered the pores in it, but it couldn't block the crisp sound.

"By this time next year, I will be able to leave the palace." There is no need to follow the etiquette when talking between maids and maids, only at this moment do they not need to call themselves slaves.The maidservant who spoke was probably an old man in the palace, and at the age when she could be released from the palace to marry someone, her words were full of joy that could not be concealed.

Another childish voice said: "Sister is very lucky, she will definitely find a good husband's family when she leaves the palace."

"What a blessing or not, serving a good master is a blessing for you and me." The palace maid turned to sigh and said, "I've been in the palace for so many years, if you want to say good luck, you have to count that little Huizi. He is clever , and also recognized Director Cao as his master, who is more than a year younger than you, and can see Shengyan every day."

When Emperor Yunkang heard the conversation between the two maidservants, he smiled a little.

This time it was the young girl who spoke: "Sister, I heard many people say that the second prince bought a big yard for Uncle Cao, and Uncle Cao gave the original residence to Eunuch Hui instead."

In this icy and snowy place, Cao Fuzhong broke out in a cold sweat, hesitating and trying to stop the two little palace maids.Emperor Yunkang froze, and silently waved his hands at Cao Fuzhong, the palace maid who had spoken before hurriedly said: "Don't talk nonsense, it has nothing to do with you and me where Uncle Cao and Xiao Huizi live outside the palace, don't follow those nonsense Chew your tongue."

The little girl was obedient, and the two left with small steps after a short while.

Emperor Yunkang's face sank like water, and he said coldly: "I don't know when you got in touch with the second child."

Cao Fuzhong immediately "plopped" and knelt down in the snow: "Your Majesty, calm down, these girls will break their mouths! The adopted son of the old slave is doing some small business outside, and he bought the house himself. It has absolutely nothing to do with the Second Highness." ! This old slave has served His Majesty for nearly 30 years, and he is so sincere to His Majesty, even if I gave this old slave ten more courage, I would not dare to do so!"

Emperor Yunkang sneered: "Whether you dare or not depends on who gave you the courage."
