Chapter 1024: The same power as water and fire

When the Seventh Confucian and Chu Yu took the carriage to get off the second gate, they both arrived at the front hall of the palace, Chen Fu had already announced the imperial edict and left.

The seventh prince's face was not happy, which made the Hongshu brothers and others anxious.

After sending everyone down, Hong Shufang asked in a low voice: "Does Ama think the Nian family is too silly?"

The father and son have been doing things carefully for many years, and he, the eldest son, knows the Seventh Prince's personality.

The Nian family is a relative of the foreigners and a popular nobleman. If you get married to their family, you don’t have to send your daughter to Mongolia to eat sand. If you put it in other royal palaces, you will most likely feel happy.

However, the Seventh Prince has always been low-key and may not be happy to make this family.

The Seventh Prince raised his head and put the four words in his stomach, and did not say it out loud, which means "the prosperity will lead to decline."

The fifth princess's family is also a Manchu lord. His father-in-law was a magistrate in his early years. So what now is now? The more eye-catching the family is, the greater the ups and downs, and the family rises and downs are just between the emperor's joys and anger.

At this moment, the Seventh Confucian and Chu Yu arrived.

Seeing this, Hongshu hurriedly bowed to his mother to greet him. Chu Yu followed the seventh concubine and also greeted the seventh prince.

The seventh concubine called him up, but his eyes fell on the incense table. He asked with some excitement: "Prince, but the seventh princess is referring to the prince..."

The Seventh Prince nodded and said, "That's right, I have named the princess and pointed it to Nian Gengyao's eldest son Nian Xi..."

When they heard "Nian Xi", the Qi Fujin and Chu Yu both spoke in surprise and frowned.

Seeing this, the Seventh Prince knew something was wrong, so he asked everyone to sit down, and then asked, "Father, what's wrong?"

The Seventh Concubine hesitated and said, "Some gossips passed by the female family members in the inner house are not sure whether they are true or false... They say that the eldest son of the Nian family has a very strong horoscope. He defeated his mother when he was young. When he was young, he followed his father to take office. He killed the little brother of the stepmother and almost killed Nian Gengyao. Later, the father and son separated, which made Nian Gengyao escape. A few years ago, he said that he had a marriage, and he was determined to kill the girl who was unemployed..."

The Seventh Prince doesn't believe what the eight characters are.

He grew up in the palace and had seen many ghosts and monsters, so he would not be as superstitious as an ignorant woman.

However, there is no wind and waves. From this gossip, we can hear that Nian Gengyao and Nian Xi’s father-son relationship is not harmonious. Even if the father-son relationship was good before, some people hoped that he would be bad, otherwise there would be no gossip about "father-son conflict" that would not appear.

The Seventh Prince's heart was inexplicably relieved.

Seeing that Chu Yu was also worried about his mediocrity, the Seventh Prince turned his head and asked, "Have you heard these gossips?"

"I heard a few years ago that my mother heard nothing more. I also heard that Nian Gengyao's relationship with Nian Xi is a little alienated, so the specific reason is unknown. What my daughter is worried about is that Nian Xi has not cut off medicine in recent years. A few days ago, the old man from Nian family even asked for tiger bones from the prince." Chu Yu said.

After hearing this, not only the Seventh Prince was anxious, but also the Seventh Prince and Hongshu were a little moved.

But the imperial edict has been issued. No matter what the other party is, who dares to violate the order...

The atmosphere was a bit heavy, Chu Yu said: "I don't know what the specific is. Maybe the old man in the Nian family cherishes his grandson, and he is more delicate than ordinary people."

It was just a word of comfort. Seeing that the seventh prince did not speak, the seventh concubine said to Chu Yu: "Go back and ask the prince carefully... If so... let's inquire too. It's serious to find a good doctor..."

In the palace, except for arranging the seventh princess to marry, this is the only thing that can be done.

Chu Yu nodded and agreed, and he could not say a few more good words and comfort the Qi Fujin.

Seeing that the Seventh Prince and the Seventh Concubine were not energetic, Chu Yu did not stay for too long. After saying a few words, he got up and left the mansion first.

Cao Mansion, Lanyuan, Shangfang.

Cao Yong was wearing a replenishment and sat on a chair, telling Li about his title of title today.

When Li heard this, he was very happy. What was happiest was not that there was another title in the family that was inherited by descendants, but that his son's good governance allowed thousands of people to avoid displacement and death from starvation.

"When your father was there, he cherished the people. Now my son is beyond his ambition, and your father is in the nine springs, he will be relieved." Li said with red eyes when he thought of his deceased husband.

Seeing that she was much less clear, Cao Yong was moved and said, "My son does not seek success, but only hopes to accumulate some blessings, bless his mother for a long life, and let his son be filial to his mother."

Li looked at his son's worried eyes and felt quite unbearable. He nodded with tears in his eyes and said, "Don't worry, Yong'er, although I'm useless, I can finally help you and your wife see your grandson. I will have to wait until Yong'er is appointed as the prime minister, live forever, and God bless them to get married and have children, so that I can feel at ease."

Speaking of this, she was tearful and said, "All these days, I always remember you when you were a child. At that time, the old lady and your father were both here, and your sister was still a yellow-haired girl. I took you to her side and asked someone to send you to your home to study. After a few days, she had heatstroke... Later, the old lady picked you up, and later, you were abducted, and my heart was about to break... I know that this family has dragged you down over the years. You like a free temperament, but for the sake of the family, you went to Beijing to work as a job at a young age, and you still have to worry about this family... How can I bear to let my son suffer again... As long as you are good and protect yourself, you will be the greatest filial piety to me..."

"Mom is still young, why is she so sad? Think about it, and then think about Tianbao, who can be separated from her mother?" Cao Yong comforted.

The mother and son were talking when they heard the maid from the corridor asking for peace. It was Chu Yu who was back.

Li quickly lowered his head and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with a veil. On his head, he only had joy left on his face.

When Chu Yu entered the room, he felt the atmosphere was a bit heavy, but his mother-in-law's face was filled with joy.

She felt a little confused and did not show her face. She explained to her mother-in-law about meeting the Eighth Concubine and also mentioned that she went back to her parents' home when she met her mother.

Of course, like the Eighth Concubine, who was not a sarcastic Li family, and Chu Yu pressed the words of the Cao family and his son, but said that the Eighth Concubine was worried about the Li family and had no clues to knock on the bell everywhere. Now, after listening to the advice from the Seventh Concubine and her, he has agreed not to move for the time being and wait for news from Jiangnan.

Li sighed relieved and said, "That's great. Although she has a relative in-law with the Li family, she is the Prince of Princess. Such a big talk for the Li family will make your uncle more suspicious of having a private family." After saying that, he realized that the Eighth Concubine is now widowed and said something wrong with "private knots". He hurriedly changed his words and said, "Anyway, it's inappropriate."

They are all their own family members, and Cao Yong and Chu Yu will not think much about it.

Li didn't want his son, and his wife always thought about the Li family and mentioned Cao Yong's title in a different way.

Chu Yu was also very happy when he heard this, thinking in his heart that he didn't know which Shi Jue would fall on Hang Seng or Tian Bao in the future. One was that she was born ten months pregnant, and the other was that her eldest son had all her maternal love after she was taken away, and her palms and backs were flesh.

She looked at her husband with a smile, and felt a little proud in her heart.

The female family members of the powerful and noble families in the capital donated a few incense money to the temple and donated porridge in the first half of the month of the twelfth lunar month, and thought that they had done great good deeds. However, her husband promoted good seeds and lived all over the world.

In joy, the seventh princess was not allowed to ask about the matter.

After the couple accompanied Li to have supper and returned to Wutongyuan, Chu Yu told the story of the seventh princess pointing to the marriage of Nian Xi.

Cao Yong was a little stunned when he heard this.

After all, he was not an expert in Qing history. He only knew a few prominent names of people about the history of the Yongzheng Dynasty. He only knew that the emperor's family was too kind, and then turned against him ruthlessly.

As for the length of Nian Xi’s life and whom the girl he married as his legitimate wife, how did Cao Yong know?

"Last time I went home last year, I only saw the old man, but not Nian Xi. Seeing that the old man was in good spirits, I thought Nian Xi would be fine next year." Cao Yong thought for a while and said.

This time, he miscalculated.

How do you think about it in your heart and how it will be exposed on your face?

When Chu Yu heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and stroked his chest and said, "If this is true, it is really a blessing from the Bodhisattva. Over the years, the court has advocated ethics, and even the princess of the royal family rarely remarries. If it means that the prince's health is not good, the seventh sister will suffer."

Now it seems that Yongzheng and Nian Gengyao, the king and his ministers, are a good story.

Not only did Nian Gengyao be named a Duke himself, but he also gave him a favor to his father and eldest son. If Yongzheng was saying that he was acting like this, he would not be like this.

But this sincere intention, if something happened to him, changed his mind, demoted Nian Gengyao to the end, and finally killed him.

It seems that the most unreliable thing in this world is the emperor's favor...

*

The good mood of Yongzheng and his ministers and his family did not last for a few days.

Two days later, it is the Holy Birthday of Empress Dowager Renshou.

According to the rules, the Ministry of Rites arranged for princes and princes, civil and military officials to go to the Empress Dowager's harem to celebrate.

Although the Cining Palace has been newly repaired and the concubines left by the late emperor have been resettled one after another, the Empress Dowager refused to move the palace and still lives in Yonghe Palace.

Even the title of "Renshou" was added to the empress dowager by Yongzheng, who was unwilling to accept it.

Since the new emperor ascended the throne ceremony, the mother and son have broken up, they have never met each other again.

In order to show his "filial piety", Yongzheng also chose Yinchu (3 a.m.) to pay tribute to Yonghe Palace every day. At this time, the empress dowager had not yet stood up, and Yongzheng was just celebrating outside the hall and making a move.

After a while, some gossip about mother and son disagreement came out.

Now that it is the Holy Birthday, the courtesy of all officials in the royal family is inevitable.

As a lobbyist, the Thirteenth Prince arrived at Yonghe Palace two days ago and asked the Empress Dowager to leave some decentness to the emperor and accept congratulations from all the officials of the royal family.

This time, the Empress Dowager said that she would not compromise any more. Even if the Thirteenth Prince mentioned the Fourteenth Prince, she could not make the Empress Dowager change her mind.

"If he is not afraid of being criticized behind him, he will deal with his own brother. Didn't he only recognize Longkodo as his uncle? How could this palace be qualified to be the queen mother? Even if he did not regard me as the queen mother in his heart, why bother pretending to be in front of others?" The queen mother's words were sharp and mean, and there was a strong sense of hatred.

The 14th Prince returned to Beijing for more than three months, but he could not hide it.

She already knew about the Fourteenth Prince's detainment in Jingshan. She had asked the Thirteenth Prince to bring a message to the Fourth Prince, who wanted to see her youngest son, but was rejected by the Fourth Prince.

Relying on her identity, she wanted to leave the palace, but was intercepted by the guards in the palace gate of Yonghe Palace.

After a while, Yongzheng was not good at dealing with her, but he killed all the eunuchs and palace maids around her.

The empress dowager was shocked and angry, but she had no choice but to feel helpless. The deeper the hatred in her heart. Even the superficial harmony between the mother and son could no longer be maintained.

Even when facing the queen, the queen mother no longer has a good face...

Cao Yong had heard of the conflict between the mother and son of the family this day.
