Hearing this, Nian Sheng really breathed a sigh of relief, she thought that Concubine De Niangniang was so excited to let her come, it was something big, it turned out that it was for Yinxiang to have passed the letter with herself before.

In fact, Niansheng was grateful to Concubine De in her heart, no matter what, she still wanted to tell herself the news in advance. But Nian Sheng couldn't help but feel funny, the women in this palace are no different from the women outside the palace, they are all husbands and three wives and four concubines who still have the heart to sympathize with others, but this sympathy is just that, because they will still persuade people after all, "Look away, which man is not like this?" ”

And Nian Sheng treats this matter not so much as seeing it, but not taking it to heart at all. Just looking at what her own Ama is like, Nian Sheng's composure in this matter can be imagined.

But Concubine De didn't think so, she and the emperor both felt that since Niansheng and Yinxiang were in love with each other first, just looking at Yinxiang's tough attitude towards this matter, Niansheng would only be worse than him. Therefore, according to Kangxi's intentions, Concubine De first revealed this letter to the voice, so that she could be mentally prepared. And Concubine De herself is ready to explain her thoughts.

"This palace knows that you will feel uncomfortable, but I don't want to ask your opinion again for this matter." Concubine De didn't say anything when she saw Niansheng, but she just thought she was in a temper, and just said what she had prepared before, "This palace thinks that it is for you to know in advance that it is a fancy to you, and you should cherish your blessings." ”

Nian Sheng thought about it, how to live up to Concubine De's kindness and explain his thoughts clearly, in fact, it is quite difficult. "Back to the mother's words. Thank you for your love. Read the statement, so don't count it. But after thinking about it, I couldn't come up with a way, so I had to say it concisely.

The more Nian Sheng understated it like this, the more Concubine De felt that she was losing her temper, and she couldn't help but continue to feel relieved: "Actually, to put it bluntly, this is not a big deal. Not to mention, you always know what your house is like. Since ancient times, men have three wives and four concubines, and women have three subordinates and four virtues, which are all fixed numbers. Even if you are the only one now, there will always be new people in the future, after all, people can only prosper when they are prosperous. ”

Concubine De said like a river, and responded sentence by sentence.

I don't know how long I said, Concubine De's mouth was already dry, but her voice was still tepid.

"What the hell do you think, kid? Hongu has been talking for so long, why haven't you reacted? "Concubine De's patience is about to wear out.

Nian Sheng got up with a wry smile and said: "When the mother first asked, the courtiers said it, and the courtiers didn't care about it. ”

"You!" Concubine De felt that her eyes were dark, and she almost fainted.

Nian Sheng hurriedly explained: "What Niangniang said just now, every sentence is beautiful, and the courtiers have written it down one by one and understood it. I also know that my mother is sincerely caring, so I must obey and dare not be disobedient. However...... "Nian Sheng didn't know how to explain his mind clearly," but Niang Niang asked Rong Chennu to say something presumptuous. No matter who the courtier's daughter marries, and whether this person has the same heart with the courtier, the courtier's daughter has a very indifferent view of the future wives and concubines. As you said, this is not something that can be controlled by the courtiers, since it is not something that can be controlled by one's own strength, why care too much about it? ”

After listening to Niansheng's words, Concubine De thought for a long time before she slowly spoke: "What you said is very open-minded and in line with Buddhism, but saying such things at your age really makes this palace feel a little unbelievable." ”

Nian Sheng smiled respectfully, "The courtiers don't worship the Buddha, so I don't know if what I said is in line with the Buddha's principles." But the courtiers know that adapting to the things that can't be changed can at least make themselves and others live happily. ”

Concubine De finally nodded, at least for the time being, her words were from her sincerity, not perfunctory. In general, Concubine De was still satisfied with Niansheng's reply, and even if such words were relayed to the emperor, it would not be a gaffe. But Concubine De still couldn't help but ask: "Do you know Yinxiang with such thoughts?" ”

Nian Sheng recalled his previous conversations with Yinxiang, and then said: "The courtier really doesn't remember if she mentioned such an idea to the Thirteenth Elder Brother, but this meaning should have been revealed. ”

"If you have the opportunity, you might as well say this to Yinxiang, if he thinks that you don't care about him, but misunderstands your open-mindedness, it's not good." Concubine De kindly reminded Niansheng.

"The courtiers have written it down." Nian Sheng felt that he was not open-minded, but helpless and powerless.

In this way, Concubine De got the answer that the emperor wanted, and she also re-examined her thoughts. At ten o'clock in the twilight, a soft sedan chair came out of Yonghe Palace and sent the seventh lady of the Malhan family out of the palace gate.

After dinner, the emperor drove to Yonghe Palace and talked with Concubine De behind closed doors.

"That's what she said?" Kangxi listened to Concubine De's relay, and asked hesitantly.

Concubine De handed the peeled orange in her hand to the emperor, "The concubine was also a little unconvinced, but in the end, the concubine believed it." Zhao Jiashi is an open-minded child, and it is even more rare to see through this matter. ”

Kangxi took the orange and suddenly smiled: "Listen to this, you are very satisfied with this child?" ”

"Isn't it? The concubine now only sighs that her son does not have such a blessing, and she can't marry such a sensible daughter-in-law for the concubine. Concubine De half-truthfully joked with the emperor.

"Look at what you said. Naturally, I won't treat our son favorably. Kangxi whispered the choice of daughter-in-law in his heart to Wu Ya's ear.

Nian Sheng returned to the house, and he had to tell his mother about today's affairs in the palace one by one, but at this time, Lord Marhan was also listening.

As soon as the words fell, Marhan couldn't help but ask: "So Concubine De asked you to enter the palace specifically to tell you about it?" ”

"Thinking about it, Concubine De didn't mention anything else. If it is something strange, it is nothing more than that today's daughter did the work of a palace maid for a day. Concubine De also accidentally knocked over the water bowl, and her daughter changed into Aunt Huanchun's clothes, which was still on her before leaving the palace, and the palace maid of Yonghe Palace cleaned up and helped her daughter change it. Nian Sheng recalled all the things in the palace this day, and said slowly.

Marhan and his wife glanced at each other, and Mrs. Marhan smiled before speaking, and then explained: "Silly girl, this is Concubine De who is picking on you." If you show something that she is not satisfied with, I am afraid that you will have your good fruit to eat today. ”

I really didn't expect this, she just did it according to the rules.

Lady Marhan nodded, "My son is right. As long as we don't lose the number of courtesies, we are not afraid of people picking. ”

Marhan echoed thoughtfully, and then said, "It seems that this matter is already a certainty, and the Holy One should have a will in the near future." Although our family knows a little bit first, everything needs to be cautious, don't say what you shouldn't say, it's not good for your daughter. ”

"Are you still afraid that he will not succeed in the Fucha family?" Mrs. Marhan has always been worried about her daughter's grievances, and in her heart, even if her daughter is corrected in the future, she is now wronged, she never thought that her daughter would marry as a concubine. "Our daughter is about to start being wronged from the wedding, how do you want her to lower her eyebrows and look at the face of the Fucha clan?"

"If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan!" Marhan knew that Madame's anger was still not good, but he still said angrily. In fact, Marhan himself is not happy, even if Yinxiang has made a promise, he is still afraid that this promise will not be fulfilled. Therefore, he has secretly made up his mind that if the emperor summons him, he will definitely try his best to ask the emperor for an explanation.

Yinxiang was angry with Marhan, and he already had a bottom in his heart, so he simply held it to his own emperor, and never said more than half a word except for official business. It was Kangxi who left him to play alone, and Yinxiang only said official business, and left without waiting for Kangxi to say anything else. Although the emperor knew what was going on, he still felt a little guilty about his son.

In the afternoon of this day, Kangxi first summoned the monks, first praised them, and then announced the marriage.

Although the monk is a big surname clan, after all, he has a low official position, and he knows that he is already loved by the emperor so much, so he is happy and grateful.

Then the emperor summoned Marhan, first to talk about military affairs, and then slowly got to the point.

"Aiqing, I heard that you have seven daughters and one son, what a blessing." Kangxi pretended to say casually.

Marhan also pretended that he didn't know anything, and replied cooperatively: "If you go back to the emperor, it is true. ”

The Emperor nodded, continuing to infiltrate a little bit, "I remember a daughter I saw when I was hunting, that is?" ”

"The emperor has a good memory. If you go back to the emperor, it is the youngest daughter of the minister, and it is from Weichen and Clumsy Jing. Marhan followed the Emperor's words very smoothly.

Kangxi smiled, "Oh? Then Ling Yan has promised to marry someone? ”

"If you go back to the emperor, the little girl is still in the draft, and she has never dared to make a match." Marhan waited patiently for the emperor to speak.

But Kangxi still looked unhurried, and the emperor knew very well that it was impossible for Marhan not to know any news, and now he was comparing himself to who could be more calm. Kangxi didn't want Marhan to really think that his daughter was a strange commodity to live in, so that he had the opportunity to knock himself hard. "Aiqing, since Ling Yan doesn't have a matchmaker, why don't you let me be a matchmaker for her?"
