The holy driver returned to Changchun Garden on February 29, and the princes and officials of the capital had already begun to prepare for the celebration of the Birthday Festival.

Every year, after the holy car goes out to tour Beijing, a great court meeting is held, but this time there is no news of the grand court meeting. It's a small dynasty, but it's just a few scholars who take turns to go to the garden to see the garden.

The opinions and resignations of other officials have not been flipped up.

Although no one dares to question anything blatantly, they are not stupid, and most of them sniff out something wrong.

The number of officials who asked for a meeting with several scholars and scholars increased.

Some people even began to speculate whether they were going to "change the sky".

After the New Year this year, it is out of phase, and some time ago, the news from Shanxi and Shaanxi was still blizzard in February.

Although Kangxi's prestige is still there, he has still become old since he beat the "second waste" prince. This trip to Gidian, and when the weather was warm and cold, what ...... "once a son of heaven and a courtier", after getting the right, how many people are willing to let go?

Kyori seems to be unfazed, but in fact, there are not a few people who are in a hurry.

When the holy driver first returned to Changchun Garden, Cao Yin originally wanted to hand over the sign to ask him to meet, but later heard that the holy driver had not turned over the sign for several days, so he did not move.

It's just that within a few days, my hair has turned a lot grayer, and I can't hide my worry when I get home.

Although the identities are different, it seems that Cao Yin and Kangxi's young monarchs have another friendship.

Cao Hao persuaded his father a few times, but to no avail, even in the yamen of Taifu Temple, the subordinate officials below were also discussing. In comparison, the four officials were as usual. Even Iduli, who has always been fond of gossip, did not mention it.

Yes, woe comes from the mouth. It's nothing to laugh and scold in Ping, but now that the momentum is not right, he has nothing on the surface, and he is also careful in his heart.

Wang Jing had come back with him, and there were many Han officials who wanted to hear the news from him, not just the Yamen of Taifu Temple.

Wang Jingzeng held the shelf and kept silent about the incident. Because of this, he has not had a good time at these times, and I heard that he has offended several of the same year.

He can only secretly complain, this Taifu Siqing is just a charter. Long live the Lord by his side, there are the Minister of the Interior and the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, although he said that he was with him, but he had never seen the Holy Driver a few times.

Tang Zhiyu is the kind of person who does his duty, and he has never paid attention to power disputes.

Even if he heard that Long Live Lord Xu was a dragon's body, he didn't take it to heart, in his opinion, it should have been a matter of the Tai Hospital's heart, what did he do as a courtier?

The atmosphere in Beijing became more and more weird, and even Cao Hao couldn't help but wonder. History, what is it really like?

He and Cao Yin, father and son, two people who should have been eliminated in the long river of history, are still alive, is the emperor who is said to have seven years of life to return to heaven?

However, after watching coldly for a few days, Cao Hao put his mind at ease.

Even if Kangxi is really sick, there should be no danger. It's just that I don't know if he doesn't have time to take care of the undercurrents in the capital, or if he deliberately does this, and wants to see the reaction of the courtiers.

On the third day of the first month of March, under the holy decree, the two deputy commanders were dismissed in the name of "lax management of troops" and "lack of talent". At the same time, there are two other clans that have been removed from the subordinate positions of the Zongren Mansion because of their "unbearable behavior".

At this moment, it made everyone more and more thrilled. Some people are already secretly speculating whether it will be changed next year.

Among the elder brothers, which one of them can live?

It's like gambling, if it's right, it's a bright future?

Even Sun Jue, who was a little bookish, was not exempt from vulgarity, and made a special trip to Cao's mansion.

He has left the Ministry of Rites, and now he is in charge of the official name, bereavement, and rank.

Compared with the stubbornness of the Qing Gao when he first entered Beijing four years ago, Sun Jue's behavior is much smoother, and he no longer has the loneliness he had back then.

He came to greet Cao Yin, and he just wanted to find out the inside story. At the same time, he also wanted to explore the bottom of the Cao family and see which elder brother they were going to support.

Although he hated the Cao family in his heart, Sun Jue also had to admit that the relationship between the Cao family and the royal family was incomparable to that of the Sun and Li families.

Even Cao Hao was relieved, not to mention Cao Yin, an old fox, who was naturally already calm.

Seeing Sun Jue's impetuousness, and then thinking of his son's doubts to calmness, Cao Yin faintly felt a little proud in his heart.

Whenever he met someone praising Cao Hao in front of him, he said that "the dog's qualifications are mediocre and unusable", and he is still proud of his son.

Thinking of Li Ding, who died tragically in the capital, Cao Yin treated Sun Jue much gently.

Although this cousin is a little superficial and exaggerated, after all, he is the eldest of the Sun family, and Cao Yin does not want to watch him take a detour in Beijing.

Thinking of this, Cao Yin stopped answering Sun Jue's tentative words, picked up the teacup, lifted the tea lid, took a sip, and said: "There are ten more days, it is the Wanshou Festival, although according to the example of previous years, there are regulations, but I have to be busy for a while." Compared with the two, the nephew's current errand is light. I heard that there are a lot of 'ice respects' and 'charcoal respects' in the ministry, and although they want to be with the light, they must not lose their hearts. It's useless to think too much, and if you take charge of your own errands, you won't be able to make mistakes. You have just been promoted to Langzhong, and if you want to be promoted to another level, you have to look at the performance of your nephew in the past three years. ”

Listening to the front, Sun Jue was still a little anxious, slandering Cao Yin for being unkind, and was suspected of diverting the topic.

In the end, seeing Cao Yin's expression becoming more and more solemn, Sun Jue heard the meaning of his words.

Since the Wanshou Festival can be held as scheduled, even if the Long Live Lord is really infected, it is inconsequential to think about it. Besides, he was himself, and he was transferred from the Ministry of Rites to the Ministry of Officials after a year, and he was promoted from the head of the sixth grade to the fifth grade.

He is just a man from a human background, and after four years of hard work, he has reached this position. Even if you want to speculate now, if you want to go up, you have to stay up for years.

Thinking of this, Sun Jue's ambition before coming suddenly disappeared, and he said a few words of gossip to Cao Yin happily, and then left.

Out of the gate of Caofu, Sun Jue got on the horse, looked back at the plaque hanging high, and looked unpredictable...... * The female dependents of the inner house will not be affected by the changes of the government and the opposition at all.

After several days of recuperation, Li has recovered, and he has been to see Zhaojia's twice, but he just can't cry or laugh.

The wound on Zhao Jia's face gradually healed, only the bridge of his nose collapsed completely.

Her surname is that the older she gets, the worse it gets, and when she eats cigarettes in the middle of the night, she eats and sleeps. The burning tobacco in the smoke pot was poured on the mattress, almost running out of water.

Originally, one girl was on duty at night, but now she has two. I'm afraid that if there is something I can't see for a while, there will be some mistakes.

The imperial doctor instructed that Zhao Jia's diet should be light and less oily, so that he could slowly go to the floating fire. Therefore, Jinghui didn't dare to let the kitchen cook meat dishes for her again, and mostly vegetarian dishes.

Because Zhaojia's vegetarian dishes are meatless and unhappy, Jinghui also specially invited a master to cook vegetarian dishes to cook vegetarian dishes into meat fragrant.

Zhao Jiashi ate it for two days, and then remembered the duck again.

Jinghui asked the kitchen to remove the fat skin of the duck from the outside, and used the duck breast to cook the vegetables and send it to Zhaojia's.

When Zhao Jiashi saw it, he almost didn't lift the table, counted Jing Hui well, and then sent someone to the kitchen to order food.

Although Jinghui said that there was no way to do it, she could only listen, but when she had the next meal, she still asked the kitchen to have less oil and less meat.

Zhao Jia's sometimes remembers what he ate at the last meal, and sometimes he doesn't, no matter what, there is no time to stop.

When the Li family and Chu Yu came over, the Zhao Jia family did not shy away from it, and directly pointed at Sang and scolded Huaidi in front of Jing Hui, without saying a good word.

Li and Chu Yu were afraid that Jinghui would be embarrassed, so they had to say good things for Jinghui. Zhao Jia's family became more and more annoyed, thinking that the eldest daughter-in-law was a deceitful person, and she was playing tricks on the long house behind her back.

In this comparison, she felt more and more that the other daughter-in-law was well-behaved.

She turned her head, frowned and asked Jinghui: "Don't do it, don't go and see your brother and sister, she is not in good health, so you should be careful." Saying that, I was still a little worried, so I had to go down to the kang to visit in person.

But her head was heavy, and she was holding on to the edge of the kang, and she felt faint in front of her.

Li Shi hurriedly persuaded her, but it was only after watching Jinghui go that she could be relieved.

was ordered to take care of Ruhui's Jinghui, but her heart was full of feelings.

After Zhaojia's illness, Jinghui and Ruhui took turns to take care of her. I don't know if it's because I'm afraid or because I'm tired, but Ruhui quickly lost weight.

Jinghui advised her to rest, but she didn't listen, and it eventually led to bad results and a miscarriage. The moment she knew, Jinghui didn't even shed tears, she was just stunned, as if she had lost her soul.

Cao Shuo saw that his wife, who was so domineering before, was now thin and lost her vitality, and he felt extremely guilty and guilty.

Jinghui discussed with Cao Shuo, originally to make someone beat the legal person to send a letter to the Shilang Mansion, but was stopped by Ruhui.

As a result, in addition to hiding the matter of her miscarriage from Zhaojia's family, she also concealed it from the Shilang Mansion.

Cao Song came back with Hu, saw his mother's appearance, and knew that it was because of Ruhui that he was angry.

Although he is a reckless surname, he values filial piety, how can he tolerate Ruhui's disobedience?

He originally wanted to reprimand Ruhui and practice family law, otherwise he would ask his uncle and aunt to discipline him.

Cao Shuo, who had been silent, disagreed with his brother's so, and said, "Brother, if you want to be beaten or punished, your younger brother will bear it." The matter goes back to the roots, and it's not my brother's. If I hadn't broken my word and gained weight, Ruhui wouldn't have been angry and rude. She had known she was wrong, and now she was ...... I'm the one who should be punished. ”

Cao Shuo was not having a good time, and it was difficult to hide the pain on his face.

Cao Song remembered the absurdity of his youth, and where did he have the face to blame his younger brother, and it was still impossible to punish Ruhui.

Less than two months after the separation, such a change occurred in the second room, which made Cao Song, Cao Shuo and others grow up rapidly.

It's just that in this growth, accompanied by pain and saltiness, people lose the innocence and liveliness of youth, and become a little more stable and silent.

Thinking of this, Jinghui sighed and walked into Ruhui's West Cross Courtyard.

Ruhui wore her hair loose, half-leaning on the cabinet next to the kang, her face was white, and her eyes, which were already quite large, were even bigger because of her emaciation.

When Jinghui entered the house, Mama Tao was sitting on the edge of the kang, holding a bowl of porridge in her hand, and was persuading Ruhui to eat two more bites.

Ruhui just shook her head and refused to take another bite.

The moment she saw Jinghui, Ruhui nodded lightly and said, "You're here...... Is your wife okay......"

Mama Tao just wanted to persuade again, but when she heard Ruhui speak, she saved someone from coming. Turning her head to see that it was Jing Hui, she hurriedly got up from the small pestle and gave Jing Hui a salute.

Jing Hui stretched out her hand to stop it, and took the porridge bowl from Mama Tao's hand.

She walked to the side of the kang, sat on the side of the kang, and said softly: "It's good over there, my brother and sister, don't worry about this, it's good to be healthy." This porridge is not an ordinary ginseng porridge, and what is left in it is the red ginseng sent by the sister-in-law, which was bought by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and it is the most nourishing. The younger siblings are not for anything else, just for the sake of their own less sin, and in order not to let their uncles and uncles and wives worry, they also have to drink more. ”

Ru Hui Yuan was still wooden, and when she heard Jinghui mention her parents, she couldn't hold back her tears anymore and fell.

When Jinghui saw it, she took out her handkerchief and was busy trying to persuade her not to cry, so she heard her say quietly: "I am really a useless person, I will be tired of my parents at home, and I will embarrass them when I get married." I only hate myself for not being a man, I only hate myself for being vain, and I don't want to be an old girl, asking people to point fingers behind my back, so I marry myself in a daze. ”

Speaking of this, she raised her head and looked at Jing Hui and said, "You are a blessed person, although the second cousin's surname is a little irritable, but I have never seen him cold to you." This...... It's enviable......"

Jinghui saw that her face was full of tears, and she didn't know how to wipe it, so she leaned over and started to wipe it for her.

But the more she wiped it, the more she wiped it, as if she couldn't wipe it out, Jinghui frowned, and her words were a little reproachful: "Brother and sister, hurt your eyes carefully, this is not the time for the surname Ren." ”

When she said that, Jinghui regretted it a little.

She knew that Ruhui didn't like herself, and the two of them were just getting by, but this sentence was a bit shallow and deep, afraid that Ruhui would be annoyed?

Ruhui burst into tears and laughed, and the whole person was a little more angry, turned her head sideways and said: "Speaking of which, you are one year younger than me, why are you like a little adult?" Isn't it that when you were with your second cousin, you coaxed him like a doll? ”

Jinghui listened to her teasing, her face was full of shame, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

Ruhui's eyes came alive, she looked Jinghui up and down, and said puzzledly: "It's strange to say, although they don't look alike, but looking at the behavior, you and your eldest cousin look like two sisters." It's just that the eldest cousin is too gentle, and she has to listen to the eldest cousin in everything; Although you don't like to talk, you can make ideas for your second cousin. ”

Jing Hui listened to her change her name, and looked at Jing Hui with some doubts.

Ruhui had already wiped all the tears from her face, reached out and took the porridge bowl from Jinghui's hand, picked up the spoon and ate it in a big gulp.

Although she lowered her head, Jinghui still saw her tears falling again, and her voice seemed to be extremely cheerful: "It's really delicious, I want to get better early, my aunt will trouble my second cousin, just remember to stew me two more cups of supplements......"

Jing Hui couldn't help but feel sad in her heart, only to feel that her eyes were sour and unstoppable, and nodded gently.

* Day by day, the day continues, some people make decisions, and some people are still saying and talking.

The world is impermanent, whether it is a person who takes the initiative to fight, or a person who goes with the flow, who can fully control his own destiny.

Even Kangxi, who was the emperor, almost lost his surname due to an unexpected illness in this spring.

I don't know if it was the good effect of the foreigner's medicine, or his emperor's tenacious willpower, which made him finally survive the difficulties.

After going through this experience at the threshold of life and death, although Kangxi is thinner, his mood is different than before.

He had already shaken off the depression of his twilight, and his eyes were becoming more and more pressing, as if he were several years younger.

In the face of death, he has carried it all, what are you afraid of?

The pride of the emperor made him raise his head and look down on all beings, and no longer regard himself as an old man.

He only felt as if something had recovered in his bones, and he desperately wanted to prove that he was still an unstoppable emperor, not a little old man who felt sorry for himself.

After a few years of hard work, there were a few more nobles in the garden, and they were always there.

On March 14, when Kangxi appeared in the garden of the third elder brother, all the princes accompanying him were surprised.

Is this the rumored terminally ill Huang Ama? Is it really sick, or is it because of the young palace concubine?

Some people have already begun to think about whether they want to inquire about which palace concubines are sleeping in these words.

The four concubines who were favored in the early years are not counted, and Kangxi's favorite concubines are Concubine Min, the mother of the thirteenth elder brother, and Wang Concubine, the biological mother of the fifteenth elder brother and the sixteenth elder brother.

The thirteenth elder brother used to be second only to the second elder brother in the limelight, and the third son born by the princess was the most spoiled elder brother of Kangxi in recent years.

Everyone's abacus from the harem to the previous dynasty, and they didn't pay attention to the age of Huang Ama anymore.

Even if you have bad thoughts before, you can't help but be afraid. Fortunately, they were smarter and didn't act rashly, otherwise, wouldn't they be wronged?

* Cao Hao, who has always been a little apprehensive, also heard various news from Kangxi one after another. Although he hadn't seen Kangxi yet, he knew that he was fine, and he was secretly relieved.

A few days ago, when he was in a panic, Cao Hao once again realized that until now, the rise and fall of the Cao family is still tied to Kangxi. This sadness made him blame himself, whether he was too laissez-faire now, and did not have the fear and perseverance of his early years.

Just now I was glad that Kangxi was able to recover, but the message passed by the sixteenth elder brother in private was shocking and speechless.

There was an abnormality in the northwest, Kangxi was furious about the sharp decline in horses, and Cao Hao's top was afraid that he would not be able to keep it......
