An old lady's life

The fan is a good thing, but the hottest weather this year has passed, and it is August, so there is no need for the fan, not to mention the temperature in Rongfu is low, so there is not much time to use the fan.

The time just entered August, and it started to rain that night, one layer of autumn rain and one layer of coolness, and the temperature dropped immediately.

Emperor Changping's large army returned to Beijing on August [-]th this year, and they came back late, but the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the palace will still be held, and the people participating in the palace banquet still enjoy it.

Originally, 25 years was the year of imperial examinations and drafts. However, in recent years, Emperor Changping has grown older and is not keen on female sex. In the first two drafts, he did not select a concubine to enter the palace, but gave marriages to the children of the clan.

Last year, the tenth prince was about 15 years old, and he was still young, so he was not granted a marriage. This year, he is also 16 years old. Emperor Changping and Concubine Rong are also considering candidates for the tenth prince's concubine.

This kind of marriage has already been revealed by Concubine Rong to many imperial wives, many people are interested, Concubine Rong has also met some girls, but she just can't make up her mind.

Since noon, the Rong Mansion has been preparing to enter the palace to attend the palace banquet in the afternoon, and naturally the whole family will go.

Mrs. Wang is choosing clothes for her son and daughter. She must dress up the two children beautifully. Jia Zhu is a young adult. Mrs. Wang will not dress him up gaudyly, with a bun on his head and blue and white clothes Chinese clothes, the young boy is getting more and more beautiful.

Sister Shan's clothes are much more beautiful. She is wearing a red short jacket and the same red skirt. Sister Shan has a round face, and the more she looks, the more beautiful she looks.

After Mrs. Wang told them not to be naughty and not to stain their clothes, she let them go out to find the naughty brothers.

Looking at the cheerful backs of the pair of children, Mrs. Wang felt infinite satisfaction in her heart. Her in-law's side is very good, but her two older brothers are a little worried. It should be because the older brothers have not recovered from their filial piety at the beginning of the year, but she I can't help, everyone has tried their best, but there is no reply from above.At the Xue family's side in Jinling, the nephew has been in the meeting for three months now, presumably the younger sister will not complain to her anymore.

Hongye heard the children's voices, put down the books in her hands, and walked out of the house. She saw Sister Shan walking in front of the three brothers. She was dressed in a festive red dress, which made the little girl even more cute and beautiful. Glancing at the three grandchildren behind him, he suddenly narrowed his eyes with a smile.

"Did you agree to wear the same clothes?" The three grandsons wore the same clothes, but the colors were different. Jia Hu's was blue and white, Jia Zhu's was blue and white, and Jia Lian's was green and white. Along the way, the three children are absolutely eye-catching.

Jia Hu is also 13 years old, and now he is a half-adult. Because he has been fond of Jing since he was a child, even if his body is healthy, Jing has penetrated into his bone marrow. , Hongye sighed, one not paying attention, time throws people away, and it is time for Jia Hu to say goodbye.

The general environment is such that Hongye and Zhang are already preparing to show Jia Hu a marriage, and it will be settled before he is 16 years old. When he is [-] or [-] years old, he should get married.

Jia Hu didn't expect that the three brothers wore the same clothes today, and he couldn't help smiling. Jia Zhu and Jia Lian are even better brothers, you care about my clothes, and I care about yours .

"When you enter the palace in the afternoon, people will know that we are brothers when they see our clothes." Jia Lian said with a grin, and Jia Zhu took the words and said funnyly: "Don't others know that we are brothers?"

Around Shen Shi, Rong Mansion and Ning Mansion together with several carriages slowly headed towards the palace.There were many carriages parked at the entrance of the palace. Adults and children got off the carriages one after another, entered the palace gate, and were guided by the palace staff to Ganquan Palace where the palace banquet was held.

When Jia Rong got out of the carriage, she ran over with her short legs, stretched out her hand to hold Sister Shan's hand, "Auntie."

Sister Shan smiled and rolled her eyes: "Rong'er."

Hongye told Jia Hu to take care of his younger siblings and nephews. It was still early, and after entering the Ganquan Palace, the children couldn't stay in the main hall, and they would basically go to the imperial garden to play.

Sure enough, after entering the Ganquan Palace, Hongye and other female relatives talked with other wives and wives, and the children ran to the imperial garden in groups.

As soon as the unitary hour passed, the sky darkened quickly, and the hall was full of people's heads. Hongye took a closer look at the head position.

Princess Zhaojun's stomach is already seven or eight months old, and she should give birth soon. She didn't see Xiao Shizi, so she should be playing outside.On her left and right are Princess Gong and Prince Qin's Mansion. Compared with Prince Zhaojun's Mansion, there are more children in these two mansions, and they are well educated, so they will stay in their positions quietly.

Hongye glanced at the opposite side again, and was suddenly surprised that King Gong and King Qin were on the list, and then looked at the positions of the other princes, and found that the positions of King Xiang, King Zhao, and King Yu were still vacant, so only King Gong Have the king of the county and the king of Qin returned to Beijing after finishing their errands?

When she was distracted, Hongye found that her surroundings suddenly became quiet. Following everyone's line of sight, she saw that Concubine Rong had arrived first, and she had no pretensions. The four or five-year-old girl's eyes are full of admiration.

Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Xu glanced at each other, lowered their voices, and said, "The tenth prince has grown up too."

Wang and Xu think so, but Concubine Rong is approachable, unlike Concubine Zhao, Concubine Hui and others who all have proud eyes, Concubine Rong walked up to them while talking.

"My wife has seen Concubine Rong." Hong Ye and others all got up and saluted Concubine Rong. Before Hong Ye could finish the salute, Concubine Rong had already helped her up.

Concubine Rong's age is about the same as Zhang's, she does look very kind, but she still has the ambition she should have, "Old madam, don't ruin this palace."

From the point of view of rank, Hongye's imperial wife is higher in grade than Concubine Rong's second-rank concubines, but she is the emperor's concubine, and Hongye and the others will treat them as ordinary wives.

Concubine Rong, Hong Ye and others laughed at Yan Yan, she felt very sorry that the Jia family did not have a girl of the same age, but in fact she liked the girl of the Jia family very much.

Since she doesn't want her son to participate in the fight for the heir apparent, and wants her son to work with King Zhaojun wholeheartedly, then she needs a daughter-in-law who is responsible. The daughter-in-law's family is very important, and she doesn't want her son's backyard to catch fire.

After Concubine Rong left, Sister Shan and Jia Rong came back, followed by several young boys of similar age.

Hongye saw this, she only knew one of them, wasn't that the young son of Zhaojun Wang's family?Why did he get to play with sister Shan?

"Where are the brothers?" Hong Ye pulled Sister Shan, Wang quickly hugged her daughter and sat down next to her, Xu and Hu also quickly hugged Jia Rong and sat down between them.

Seeing Sister Shan sitting obediently, the other three little boys, led by Xiao Shizi, went up and took Sister Shan's little hand and said, "Sister, let's play together in the future, don't forget me."

"Hee hee, sister, don't forget about us too." The other two started talking.

Mrs. Zhang covered her mouth and laughed, leaning close to Hongye's ear and said, "Mother, this is the young son of the Zhaojun Prince's Mansion, and the other two are the young sons of General Yao's family."

Hongye suddenly realized, isn't that the mother's home of Princess Zhaojun?That's right, it's not her natal nephew, how could she let her son play with them at ease!

The three children quickly passed behind the alley and returned to their respective mothers. Hongye also noticed that Princess Zhaojun glanced at them. Their eyes met. Hongye nodded and smiled, and Princess Zhaojun returned a smile.

"Sister Shan, where did you meet the little brothers?" Mrs. Wang was asking Sister Shan something, and Sister Shan was wringing her fingers and talking very fast, but the adults didn't understand, and they were babbling again, It took me a long time to figure out what she said.

"Big brother, second brother and third brother said that you can't be rude to the little brother, and there are other little brothers." Sister Shan started grumbling again, Hongye and the others understood this for a long time before they understood.

It should be that the young prince was playing with his cousins, and he also brought the eleventh and twelve princes in the palace, but the eleventh and twelve princes did not stay long, they are already eight or nine years old, and they can't play with children Together.From Sister Shan's words, I know that the eleventh and twelve princes get along very well with the five and six sons of General Yao's family, and they just happened to meet Jia Hu and Jia Zhu, so everyone got together.

The two young princes who are with Xiao Shizi are the third generation of General Yao’s family. They are the youngest children of Princess Zhaojun’s eldest brother and second brother. They are about the same age as Xiao Shizi. The three cousins ​​usually get along well. Princess Zhaojun often took her two little nephews into the mansion to accompany her son, or sent her son back to her natal home to play.

After a while, eunuchs sang salutes outside the hall, Emperor Changping and a group of concubines arrived, and everyone in the hall knelt down to greet them.

However, Hongye discovered an interesting thing. Concubine Zhen didn't seem to be affected in any way after the accident in Zhen's family last year. During the New Year's Eve palace banquet, there were still concubines Xian, Concubine De, Concubine Hui, and Concubine Zhen under Emperor Changping. These four positions are all withdrawn, Xianfei, Defei and Huifei are the most honored, and Zhenfei is the same as Zhaofei and Rongfei.

So what did Emperor Changping think?It's puzzling.

In the past, Concubine Xian and Concubine Zhen were as good as sisters, but since the accident between Concubine Xiangjun and Xiao Shizi, and the truth came to light, it seems that there has been a rift between Concubine Xian and Concubine Zhen. He was looking for a girl and planned to add another concubine to his son.

Emperor Changping said a few words, and then the palace banquet began, and the stage singing, dancing and opera performances in the middle had already begun. Emperor Changping first summoned his grandson to talk to him one by one. He treated his son differently. Emperor Changping treated his grandson with a particularly amiable expression.

After summoning his grandson, Emperor Changping began to summon the ministers to talk to him, seeing his expression today, he was quite kind.On the side of the women's family, from the concubines to the imperial concubine, everyone is busy looking at the candidates, and they are all looking at the girls for their own children and grandchildren, and they will not miss every such occasion.

Around Haishi, the palace banquet ended, the ministers and their families left the palace one after another, and there would be a small gathering in the harem. Emperor Changping sat in the imperial garden for a while, and when he went to bed, he did not call any concubines to attend the bed.

On the second day, in the middle of the afternoon, Emperor Changping arrived at Concubine Rong's place, and the topic of conversation between the two concubines was about the choice of concubine candidates for the ten princes.Emperor Changping still gave four candidates. After hearing what he said, Concubine Rong frowned. She was only satisfied with one of the four candidates, and she didn't like the other three.

Seeing her expression, Emperor Changping put down the teacup in his hand and raised his brows: "Is there a good candidate for my concubine?"

Concubine Rong gave a jolt, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, the concubines are not optimistic about any girls, but the four candidates you gave, and three of the concubines are not very happy."

In the past six months, she has come into contact with a lot of young ladies. The emperor is afraid that he only cares about the family background and not the character of other girls. Of course, it does not mean that the three girls have a problem with their character, but their personality is not something her son can control. Although the family background is very good, there is a problem with this family background.

Emperor Changping glanced at Concubine Rong with a half-smile, then pondered for a moment and said, "Then Concubine Ai, observe more and see what the emperor likes."

Concubine Rong nodded repeatedly, thinking that when her son came back, she would give him a list and let him choose by himself.

Emperor Changping glanced at Concubine Rong. He loved his ten sons, and Concubine Rong deserved some credit. Concubine Rong had been in the harem for many years, and she still had the mentality of a little girl. If she didn't agree with what he said, she dared to object on the spot.Of course, every time she faced him, she had a timid expression, which made him feel very interesting.

In mid-September, the kings of Xiangjun, Zhaojun, and Yujun returned to Beijing one after another. At this time, autumn is deep, especially after the Double Ninth Festival, the weather will drop sharply.
