When the sixteenth prince entered Cao's mansion, Cao Yong had just returned home and had just changed his official uniform in Wutongyuan.

When he heard that the Sixteenth Prince was coming, Cao Yong went to the front yard to meet the guests with surprise.

"Furuo, I am here by order." When the sixteenth prince saw him, he smiled and said, "It was still the grace I had from the past few days, which was rewarded to the person ordered by the Lingtang.

Cao Yong was not surprised to hear Li mention this matter, and said, "In this case, should my mother come and receive the order?"

The sixteenth prince waved his hand and said, "The decree has been passed on a long time ago. Today I am just performing the decree. I will follow you to visit the Order Hall."

After hearing this, Cao Yong sent someone to Lanyuan to pass the message first, and then asked the sixteenth prince to move.

The sixteenth prince left all the guards and entourage in the front yard and followed Cao Yong to the second gate.

"There is news coming in Suzhou. The Li family will arrive in Beijing soon. Just do it and don't get too involved." The Sixteenth Prince whispered.

"So quickly, don't you say there are still ten days and half a month?" Cao Yong said.

The sixteenth prince snorted and said, "They are afraid of responsibilities and are eager to escort them to the capital quickly. Li Xu is not as good as Chen Gu who committed suicide a few days ago, but is just promoted to a minor official. After all, he is a minister who is the former emperor and has a reputation among the scholars and common people in the south of the Yangtze River. You, the nephew who is the uncle of the uncle, and I, the younger generation of the prince, are always afraid."

Cao Yong heard this and didn't say anything.

Long before Li Xu was convicted, the court sent a new Suzhou weaving fabrication, which was the emperor's brother-in-law, Hu Fenghui, the eldest son-in-law of the Nian family.

The officials in Jiangnan who were the chief judge of this case, for the sake of the Cao family and the Sixteenth Prince, were just trials, but they would not do too much, and would always leave Li Xu with some decentness.

Hu Fenghui is not only Nian Gengyao's in-laws, but also his confidant. He served in the Sichuan Governor's Office in his early years. With Nian Gengyao and Concubine Nian as his backer, he might not take Cao Yong and the Sixteenth Prince seriously.

Since Li Xu was forced to die almost, it was naturally a criminal responsibility.

Cao Yong felt heavy in his heart when he thought that Li Xu was already an old man in his seventies and would suffer such a crime until he was old.

While talking, the two had already arrived at Lanyuanyuan.

Li and Chu Yu had already received the news and were waiting in the corridor.

When he saw the Sixteenth Prince, Li wanted to bow his knees. The Sixteenth Prince stepped forward and supported him, saying, "Don't kill me!"

Seeing that he was like this, Li stopped advocating. After Chu Yu invited the Sixteenth Prince, everyone entered the room.

Although Li met the Sixteenth Prince during the funeral a few days ago, because he was away, he had many eyes and ears and ears, and he was not cheap to speak, but just a few answers.

Now that he arrived at home and sent out all the maids and servants, Li said, "Have you seen the concubine these two days? How about she... Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

It turned out that the emperor only asked the 14th Prince to guard the tomb in his decree. In fact, in addition to the 14th Prince, he also kept the 15th Prince in Jingling.

When Li heard about this, he was worried about Concubine Mi, so he asked this question.

The sixteenth prince said, "Don't worry, my mother, after hearing this news, she was not worried, but instead breathed a sigh of relief. My mother said, the fifteenth brother is still young, and he can keep the tomb for the last emperor for a few years, and it is also a blessing to collect his temperament."

Li nodded and said, "It's good that the Empress Dowager can think about it." As she spoke, she took out a foot-and-a-half-foot-long wooden box from her sleeve, pushed it to the sixteenth prince, and said, "I just want to think about it, but the concern in the Empress is inevitable. You attacked the king's title, but you want to support a whole family. How can you be so rich? In the palace, you are waiting for you to get some money everywhere. You can use it to call me. If it is not enough, come and talk to me again..."

After hearing this, the Sixteenth Prince hurriedly said, "Your kindness is yours, but life is still acceptable. If you really can't live, Sixteen will not be polite and will speak with you."

Li refused to take it back and said, "This is not for the prince, but for the concubine and your sister-in-law. Although the fifteenth prince has not been close to me over the years, he is your mother's eldest son. If your mother doesn't say anything, she is also worried. You attacked the prince, so many people will watch it. Just do it well, don't bother with money and leave a message to the villain."

The life of the 16th Prince is really tight. Not only do you have to reward the Cining Palace to make your biological mother live a more comfortable life, but you also have to find a way to take care of the family of the fifteenth Prince who stayed in the 15th Prince's office.

There are also many relatives who have been dependent on Prince Zhuang’s mansion, and they are also counting on living in the palace.

However, he was still embarrassed to receive gifts from Li in front of Cao Yong and Chu Yu.

Those two are his nieces and nieces and son-in-law, and his nephew and nieces-in-law.

Seeing that he refused to accept it, Li looked at Cao Yong and asked his son to think of a solution. Cao Yong smiled and said, "My mother thought of going with her son, and her son was preparing to respect the concubine. The Sixteenth Master refused to accept it, so he must have thought that his mother had prepared less. He will prepare double copies later."

When the sixteenth prince saw Cao Yong intervening, he glared at him hard. This kid not only "slandered" but also "slandered" in front of him. He had never opened the box at all. I don't know how much gift Li gave, so where did he think it was less?

Cao Yong only did not see him, and smiled and took the box and delivered it to the Sixteenth Prince, saying, "If the Sixteenth Master doesn't mind it, he will take it away and ask me to save some money."

Having said that, the Sixteenth Prince was not willing to bear it, so he had to get up and thank Li.

Li said with red eyes: "This is nothing. The prince is rich and prominent. What I do now is just icing on the cake. How can I compare to the timely help of the prince and the concubine back then? Now I have nothing to look forward to. I just hope that the concubine will live a long life for a hundred years, and I hope that you will all be happy."

The sixteenth prince thought that the Li family was defeated, and the saddest thing was Li. He said warmly: "The emperor values ​​friendship. Although Cao Yong is not an old minister of Qiandi, he is still half a direct lineman. He has a bright future. Just wait and enjoy your happiness!"

"Well, I'll wait." Li looked at his son and said with some pride.

After saying these family matters, the Sixteenth Prince began to talk about the serious matters and handed the list of subordinates to Li.

Li is not at home now, so he looks impatiently, glances over and handes it over to Chu Yu.

Chu Yu took a look and found that the people above were already reported to the Inspectorate Office and transferred from the Interior Affairs Office to the Cao family as slaves. The six men and women were fine, but the ten palace maids were "small choices" to enter the palace.

She hesitated for a moment and asked, "Uncle Sixteen, are there many women who are going to the palace to be released, these women?"

The sixteenth prince said: "From today on, they are not palace maids, and they don't have to follow the old rules in the palace. Since they are slaves of the Cao family, they will be the masters of life and death, and the Cao family will be the masters."

Chu Yu didn't feel relaxed at all after hearing this.

These women all have family members in the Interior Affairs Office. The Cao family was also under the Interior Affairs Office in his early years. If they really despise these palace maids and fall into the eyes of outsiders, they would be frivolous.

She was worried, but she didn't show it on her face and smiled and said, "It's better to do this, just thinking that there is not enough staff in the family."

The sixteenth prince glanced at her, and without saying much, he mentioned the matter of warming up the sedan chair with Li. It was a meticulous job, and it would probably take some time to prepare and deliver it to him.

Li said that she was not in a hurry, not to mention the sedan chair, she didn't plan to sit on the carriage given by the emperor again.

After returning from Jingling, she decided not to go out easily, so as to avoid being able to take the imperial carriage and not being able to show off.

After saying a few words with Li, the sixteenth prince stood up and said goodbye when he saw it was getting late.

Li wanted to see him off, but was stopped by the Sixteenth Prince and sent him to the door, watching the Sixteenth Prince leave with Cao Yong.

Mrs. Li returned to the house, looked at the list, and said, "It's okay for the men and women, how can these ten palace maids be arranged?"

Chu Yu thought for a while and said, "Old lady, why don't you ask Aunt Luo to visit Aunt Chang first, look at the character, and then decide which yard to be sent to as a yard? No matter how big or small, it is always given by the palace. You will be a maid in the first-class example, so that people can avoid talking. "

When Li heard this, he was very satisfied and nodded, "Just do this, please ask Eunuch Tian to take care of him. He has been in the palace for a lifetime and has never seen anyone."

Chu Yu replied, thinking in his heart that there were all eunuchs and palace maids in this mansion. In his heart, the emperor really treated his mother-in-law as a princess, which was also a good thing for the Cao family...

At this moment, Cao Yong had already sent away the sixteenth prince and asked Cao Yuan to arrange the sixteenth household servants, and asked Cao Yuan's family to take the ten palace maids to Lanyuan.

Li was chatting with his wife. After hearing what Cao Yuan's family said, he took the person outside the door and waited, so he asked him to lead him into the house.

They were all dressed in the same way, with a gradual green silky dress, braided hair, and red velvet flowers on the sideburns. Ten people were divided into two rows according to their height.

The first five are only thirteen or four, and the faces are still tender; the second five are fifteen or six, and they are all beautiful and beautiful, not too outstanding, nor too stupid.

Li and Chu Yu looked at each other, and they both felt relieved. Although it was given to Li by the emperor, Li could not call ten of them alone and pointed them to others casually. They were also disrespectful and had to let them go to their children and grandchildren. If there were really charming, they would be really worried.

At this moment, Hengsheng came back from the palace and came to pay tribute to Li.

He stayed in the palace all day long, and he could see at a glance that the ten girls on the ground were dressed as palace maids. He didn't look at it much, but just asked for peace to his grandmother and mother, and then retreated.

When Chu Yu returned to Wutongyuan, Hengsheng was waiting here and said seriously: "Mother, the women from the palace are mostly cunning. If the grandmother takes care of people in various places, it is better to be exempted from other places, but it is better to be exempted from the younger sister."

Seeing that his son, who had always been honest and honest, Chu Yu felt relieved and distressed, and said, "I know you feel sorry for your sister and will not send someone to your sister."

Only then did Hang Seng feel at ease and go with a smile.

Chu Yu looked at his little adult appearance and said to Cao Yong: "In a blink of an eye, the boss has ended up and the second brother has become sensible. The wind is blowing tonight, and I don't know how Tianyou is in the examination school?"

Cao Yong was also worried about his son. The first exam of the imperial examination was eight-legged essays. The results of the current exam depended on the results of the first exam.

It is a good thing for a son to be strong, but for a teenage child, it is really proud of his god. It is better to have a son to be strong, if he answers well, he will be sad for a while if he doesn't answer well.

I just didn't want my wife to worry, so he said, "It's summer, how can I get frozen?"

He was afraid that his wife would be too concerned, so he changed the conversation.

Cao Yong did not take the palace maids given to Tai Jiang today to heart. He had nothing to say to others at present. Not to mention giving it to Cao's Mansion, even if he gave it to Wutong Garden directly, he would have nothing to panic.

What he was worried about was Xiangyu going to the palace to take office.

"The Sixteenth Master made a special trip to ask for a while, asking him to give him a free choice." Cao Yong thought for a while and said, "The Sun family's concubine is also on the alternative booklet. In the past two days, you can take Xiangyu over and have a look to let the two girls meet. It's better if you can take care of each other in the future."

When Chu Yu heard this, he said, "Mr. Xiangyu is only ten years old, so she is really too young... I'm afraid that the old lady will not let anyone go..."

When it comes to this, Cao Yong also has a headache.
