Dressed as Su Peisheng

Kangxi 45 years

At the end of February, Siye Mansion

At night, in Fujin's hall, a few delicate figures are reflected on the window lattices mottled with candle shadows.

As soon as Mo Yaqi's voice fell, Ulanara's Jiayi froze in place, and Wu Yashi got up in a panic and said, "Fu Jin, Jiayi has no intention of provoking, we are all one family, and Jiayi is of one mind. For your sake—"

"Okay," Fujin interrupted Wu Yashi's words, and leaned back a little tiredly, "It's just a joke of a few daughters, you still take it seriously."

"It's my niece who is being rude," Jiayi lowered her head, pursed her lips, and stretched out her hand to tug on Wu Yashi's sleeve.Seeing that Fujin didn't intend to pursue it, Wu Yashi reluctantly sat back with a smile.

"Is mother tired?" Mo Yaqi turned his head to look at Fujin, "It's too late today, so my daughters won't bother you to rest."

Fujin bent his mouth, and raised his hand to let Shihuan bring in two bolts of fabric, "This is the new Suzhou embroidery this year, and it looks very unique. Just in time for you to come, just take it back."

"Thank you, mother," Mo Yaqi and Ilhaqiqi saluted, then nodded to Wu Yashi, ignored Ulanara's Jiayi, and left with the maids.

The room fell silent, and Fujin's face became darker and darker. Wu Yashi looked around, and was about to get up and leave with Jiayi, when Fujin let out a long sigh.

"Er Niang went early, and Ama is old." Fujin leaned on the soft cushion, "When I was young, I took care of my sister-in-law and brothers. Now, Ama passed away, and I am alone, so I cannot rely on my in-laws to help the family People, my heart is also very uncomfortable."

"My aunt's words are off the table." Wu Yashi glanced at the silent Jiayi, pinched the handkerchief and pressed the corners of her eyes, "Since I married into the government, I have been closest to my aunt, looking at my aunt From a young girl who is beautiful and graceful to a big girl who is handsome and courteous day by day, my heart is no different from when I gave birth to Jiayi. Although your brother is not up to date, he hurts his aunt to the bone. Now, The reason why the family is eager to fight for some future is because they are afraid that Ama will leave, Honghui will be gone, you will lose your backing behind you, and you will be wronged in this prince's mansion."

"My brother and sister-in-law are all thinking of me, I understand," Fujin said with a bitter smile, "I am not an ungrateful person, and I don't want to lose the relationship between relatives. Today, let's talk about it. Brother and sister-in-law are planning to Find a marriage for Jiayi to be a royal relative? Doesn't it matter even if it's a concubine or princess?"

Wu Yashi pursed her lips dryly, and said in a hoarse voice, "Jiayi is the eldest daughter of your brother and me, and we are reluctant to bear it. But, you know in our house, there is only an empty shelf..."

"I see," Fujin sighed lightly, and turned his gaze to the side, "Jiayi, tell your aunt honestly, are you really willing to accept your parents' arrangement like this?"

Jiayi pursed her lips, looked up at Fujin, and said in a low voice, "My niece has been weak since she was a child, and Ama and Erniang have put in so much effort for me. Now, my niece is so devastated that I can't repay her just in case I just want to do my best for the family so that Ama and Erniang don't have to work so hard."

Fujin pursed his lips and nodded, "Since you have such filial piety, my aunt will help you. However, the fourth master is stubborn, and I will definitely not agree to the fact that my aunt and nephew serve a husband together."

"Auntie, I—" Jiayi's expression of ready to cry was particularly endearing.

Fujin raised his eyebrows, leaned back and said, "You don't have to worry, there are so many adult princes in Beijing, and my aunt is pregnant, it's not difficult to find a place for you."

"Oh," Wu Ya's eyes lit up when she heard the words, she got up and gave a blessing, "Then it's all up to my aunt. When Jiayi gets married, she can help my aunt to some extent, and our family can feel relieved."

Fujin slightly bent the corners of his mouth, and didn't speak any more. Unlike Wu Yashi who had a happy face, Jiayi kept her head down, full of reluctance.

Sending the two female guests out, Shiyao was full of bad luck, turned around to help Fujin and said, "Master, it's true, how can there be such a maiden family. You should listen to Er Gege's words, and each of you will slap your mouth twenty times, and drive them all out." Go to the mansion. The master is gone, if he is—"

"If Ama was here," Fujin interrupted Shiyao, "Jiayi wouldn't come to our house."

"Master," Shi Yao furrowed her brows angrily, "You really want to propose marriage to Miss Jiayi. It will be troublesome for such a person to marry. What if I bring trouble to you later?"

"Don't worry," Fujin walked into the bedroom holding Shiyao's arm, "Since I agreed just now, I made a plan for her. Since she doesn't even mind being a concubine, why should I ruin her future?" ?”

"Which family is Master thinking about?" Shi Yao blinked tentatively, "Is it Brother Fourteen or Brother Thirteen?"

Fujin smiled coldly, and shook his head, "If I remember correctly, Bafujin just had a miscarriage a few years ago, and there isn't a decent concubine in Baye's mansion, right?"

Shi Yao's eyes lit up, she nodded and said, "Yes, servant girl heard people say that after the year, Bafu Jin took two girls from good families into the mansion, but they have never had a decent position. I think if they have a child in the future, they will have to hug them directly. It was raised under the name of Eight Fujin."

"That's it," Fujin sat down in front of the dressing table, "I'll ask Master Baylor later, Master Ba has never had any heirs, and I think Huang Ama is also very anxious. Ulanala's name is a common surname of the Manchu family , Assigning Ba Ye to be a princess is not considered high-profile."

"Master's heart is kind." Shi Yao took off Fujin's hairpin, "Even if it's for the good of the family, Miss Jiayi has to get rid of it as soon as possible."

Looking at the figure in the bronze mirror, Fujin lightly stroked his temples, and finally sighed heavily.

At the beginning of March, spring has already appeared in Beijing.

Tong Guowei, who had received the sacred teachings, suffered a serious illness and was asked to resign from the old man, causing an uproar in the government and the public.

Long live Lord didn't hold back much, rewarded some gold, silver and jade, and agreed to Tong Guowei's request.

The Ba Age faction seems to have died down, and the news that the emperor intends to let the prince move back to Yuqing Palace spread early in the morning, and the sons who praised the prince flew to the palace like snowflakes.

Qianqing Palace

Lord Kangxi sat behind the dragon case, frowning slightly. Li Guangdi waited on the side, registering the approved papers one by one.

The consultant bowed and walked into the door, and bowed to the emperor, "Long live lord, the fourth elder brother left the cabinet and went straight to Xian'an Palace."

"He is aboveboard." Master Kangxi stopped his pen and leaned back in the chair, "Tong Guowei is telling the old man, is there any movement from the eighth place?"

"Back to Lord Long Live, Babeile has been staying behind closed doors, and the slave hasn't gotten any news," Consultant Xing nodded slightly.

Li Guangdi took a step back, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the second month has passed, and the courtiers have been worried about the position reserve. In my opinion, it's time for the crown prince to move back to Yuqing Palace."

"You're right," Lord Kangxi lowered his eyes thoughtfully. "When I visited Jidian, Yinzhen said that the courtiers changed from supporting Yinhu to supporting Yinreng. It was probably a conspiracy. Now, as you see, Among the voices of praise from the ruling and opposition parties for the prince, how many are true and how many are false?"

Li Guangdi was slightly stunned, bowed his head and said, "I am stupid, and courtiers are used to meeting with the wind, so it is hard to detect their true intentions. However, Babeile is still young, and his roots are not deep, so the courtiers may not be willing to help him wholeheartedly." .As long as Long Live God gives more guidance, I think I won’t make a big mistake.”

"Yeah, Yinhu is young after all." Master Kangxi took a breath, and then ordered the consultant to say, "Let someone clean Yuqing Palace, and get the best from the Ministry of Internal Affairs if there is anything missing."

"Yes, my servant obeys," the advisor knelt down.

Lord Kangxi closed his eyes slightly, leaned against the back of the chair and did not speak for a long while. Li Guangdi stood aside with his head bowed, with a faint premonition in his heart that the real wave had just arrived.

"Decree to lead the ministers of the guards and the Minister of the Ministry of Officials," Lord Kangxi opened his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Go to Wang Hongxu to wear him and dismiss him from the position of Minister of the Ministry of War..."

Xian'an Palace

The crown prince and the fourth elder brother sat facing each other, the smoke from the jade incense burner was faint.

The prince gathered the fragrance with one hand, narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "This is my new agarwood fragrance, the best red sandalwood, mixed with the morning dew, it smells light and elegant, but it has a long lasting aftertaste. I was only willing to add a spoonful when the fourth brother came over."

"Second brother, you're welcome," the fourth elder brother curled his lips, "I don't know when second brother fell in love with spices? This red sleeve adds fragrance, and a beautiful woman must be by your side. Don't be idle and elegant."

The prince smiled and shook his head, "I'm just bored and looking for some fun. This square wall and square sky are the only things that can be interesting."

"Second brother did a good job." The fourth elder brother picked up the tea bowl and scraped off the tea powder, "Re-entering the court is just a matter of the world, and the Yuqing Palace is empty there, but no one can get in. of."

"It's also thanks to the fourth brother's help," the prince picked up the tea bowl and clinked glasses with the fourth elder brother teasingly.

"Your Highness, Sibeile," Wei Min, the commander of the guards, came in from the outside and hurriedly saluted the two of them.

"What's the matter?" The prince raised his eyebrows slightly.

Wei Min lowered his head and cupped his hands, "Long Live God has just issued an edict to dismiss Wang Hongxu, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and also reprimanded A Ling'a, Nalan Kuixu and others. The reasons are roughly the same as Tong Guowei."

"The ministers are playing the role, and the song is secretly passed..." The fourth elder brother frowned, and a thought flashed through his mind, "Second brother, this time Huang Ama—"

"It ruined my plan," the prince's face darkened, "Huang Ama dismissed Wang Hongxu from his post, and reprimanded A Ling'a and Nalan Kuixu, seemingly continuing to suppress Yinhu. In fact, it is breaking Yinhu's previous position." A difficult situation where the major forces behind each other are suspicious of each other."
