Chapter 17 Tea Ceremony

As soon as the north wind rose, Ouyang Yi stretched out his hand, hugged Zhiyun into his arms, and wrapped her in his snow-white fox robe, in fact, Zhiyun is not very cold, as a mage, even if she is pregnant now, she can't use magic, but even if her own physique can't reach the point where the cold and heat are not invasive, it is not far behind, and such a little cold wind will never hurt her.

Ke Zhiyun was holding a big 'stove', enjoying it very much, very comfortable, and naturally she would not refuse.

The two of them walked forward as if no one was around, but the slaves around them all hung their heads and did not dare to look directly, and saluted like a stake, except for the two girls in July and October who exchanged a rather teasing smile with each other.

Honghao and Hongtian squinted their eyes, looked at them with a smile, and bit their ears from time to time and muttered a few words, Ouyang coughed, but he was not embarrassed, until Zhiyun glared at him, and as a result, there were a few sneers behind him, Ouyang suddenly made a righteous man, and reprimanded with a straight face: "You two little ones, why don't you go to the study to study?" Stay at home and be lazy. ”

"Amma, today is a good day for the third brother, and the younger brothers have taken leave." Of course, Honghao is not afraid of him, a paper tiger-like Amma, and blocked back with a word.

The two of them walked slowly to the main courtyard, the hall was full of crowds in the early dark, everyone saw that the prince and Fujin were leaning on each other and entering the house, Prince Yong, who had always been cold-hearted, even personally helped Zhiyun go to the cloak and handed it to the girl waiting next to him, and he didn't say anything, they were already strange, no way, now the other women in the entire Yongwang Mansion are completely furnishings, even the mother of the two elder brothers in Hongyun Hongshi, the Li family, can only see each other in broad daylight by discussing family affairs with the prince, They have long lost their minds, and I have to say that they really can't underestimate these ancient women, their resilience and adaptability are amazingly strong.

Zhiyun generously dealt with these women, and said to Li with a smile: "I have seen Hongshi's daughter-in-law, she is really good, her family background is good, Derong's speech and skills are first-class, and her father and brother are also angry, you, just wait to enjoy the blessings of your daughter-in-law in the future." ”

Li's face is not very good-looking, but he still showed a happy smile on his face, and for a while attracted the Song family, Geng's several women looked sideways, who in the house didn't know, in fact, at the beginning, Li's intention was Wu Ya's Wanting, although the relationship between this Wanting's family and Concubine De's family is not too close, but it is also a relative who has not come out of the five suits, with her as a daughter-in-law, Hongshi must be valued by Concubine De, and, compared with many high-ranking families, the door of Wuya's family is slightly lower, and that Wanting heard that she is an honest person who is easy to handle. Don't worry about her mastering Hongshi, so the Li family is familiar at a glance, and has also said it to Yinzhen a few times, but unfortunately, for that kind of girl like dough, although Ouyang is not disliked, it is obviously not suitable to be the daughter-in-law of the royal family, and Ouyang does not want to harm others, so he still chooses the Dong E clan with a good temperament and good means.

Zhiyun took a sip of tea, quietly touched his belly, looked indifferent, actually knew everything about the changes below, and looked at the Zhong, Liu and Tian who were standing behind Li and had a slender body, these three are Hongshi's concubines, and their Zhong family was personally selected by Li's family, and they were also the most favored by Hongshi, Liu's and Tian's were sent by Concubine De's mother, not the kind of person who is very beautiful, it can only be said that it is quite upright, Hongshi is also light on these two on weekdays, and there is not much favor.

looked at these three, and then glanced at the Fan family who was sitting on the embroidery bench carefully because she was pregnant, Zhiyun hooked her lips, or her own father-in-law's eyesight is good, this Fan family is the side Fujin personally selected by Prince Yong for Hongyun, it is the daughter of the Fan family's generation, the Fan family is a famous Han family in the Qing Dynasty, it is not the same as the so-called big family of the nouveau riche now, it is the descendant of Fan Zhongyan, a serious scholarly family, a strict family education, and the daughter raised by their family, then there is no one with shallow eyelids.

Just thinking about it, I saw Mama Cui walk into the house, turned around and looked behind her, with a smile on her face, and bowed down and said, "Master, Fujin, the third elder brother and the third lady have come to invite the lord to make tea." ”

As soon as Cui's words fell, I saw Hongshi walking into the house with a woman wearing a red flag suit and a beaded hair.

Zhiyun took a closer look, and saw that this Eshi was born with bright eyes and bright teeth, snow-white skin, and was an extremely moving beauty, walking upright, generous, and her face did not have the shyness of ordinary women, and she was pretty and lively, even if she was standing in Prince Yong's mansion and was stared at by so many women's hot eyes, she was still neither humble nor arrogant, and she was very stylish, of course, with Zhiyun's eyesight, it was impossible not to see that her hands were also a little trembling, obviously not completely without apprehension in her heart, but, There is indeed the posture of the lady of the main room.

Li saw Dong E's at this time, and saw the envy in the eyes of others, even if he was not very comfortable at first, but at this time he didn't feel a little satisfied.

That's it, her daughter-in-law here is still very handy, Hongshi can have a good family, plus he is much older than Honghao, maybe, the position of Prince Hongyong may no longer be an empty mansion......

Zhiyun smiled and said a few words to Hongshi Dong E, in October he took the futon and put it on the ground, Hongshi and his wife bowed down, and handed Dong E a tea cup in July.

"Amma, please drink her daughter-in-law's tea."

Dong E respectfully held the teacup in front of Ouyang's eyes, Ouyang nodded, grimaced, dipped his lips meaningfully, handed over the red envelope, and taught a few words to teach a good husband, and that's it.

Zhiyun covered his mouth and snickered, Ouyang must not be very comfortable at this time, speaking of which, although Ouyang is already an 'old monster' according to his real age, but in his heart, he still regards himself as a young man, and now that he drinks his daughter-in-law's tea, the feeling must be very subtle. Zhiyun didn't have so many ideas, but he didn't feel it, thinking that when Honghao Hongday married his daughter-in-law in the future, would he also be entangled? Probably not, Zhiyun touched her chin, her adaptability was still very strong.

After Dong E's tea was given to Zhiyun and Li, and then to Song and Geng, half a salute, and the other concubines also came to meet her, and then, the three concubines in Hongshi's mansion knelt down to serve her tea.

After this ceremony, most of the morning passed, and there was a family banquet in the evening, which was regarded as a celebration of Hongshi's wedding, and it was a whole day, and the little brothers were happy, they just took the opportunity to ask for leave and did not have to go to the study to study, but Zhiyun was very tired, and before it was dark, he went back to the house with Ouyang to rest.

At night, the snow fell, staining the earth white.

Zhiyun leaned on the bedside to read, while Ouyang flipped through the dense folds of letters from all over the world on the kang table on the side, some of them were ready to be distributed or delivered tomorrow after reading the instructions, and the other part was thrown into the basin where a piece of spar with an extinguishing effect was placed, and in an instant, it disappeared so much that there was no dust left. Looking at it, Zhiyun couldn't help but sigh, it was really not easy to be an emperor.

Of course, if you want to be the next emperor, the trust of this emperor cannot be missing, in order to make the Lord believe in himself, the mind of fighting for power and profit cannot be too heavy, no matter which emperor, even if he wants to cultivate his son as a prince, he will not be willing to be in this position when his son has a mind that he should not have.

However, if you are bent on pleasing the imperial father, without showing any aggressiveness, and without any power of your own, then the best outcome is that the Lord will treat you as the most favored son, and will never let you touch the throne, after all, if you want to sit on that chair, how can you do it without ambition?

Besides, even if the emperor likes you, if you really want to be the emperor with a testament to the throne, you don't have the strength, no one to support you, and you want to be the emperor just by relying on a testament? Don't dream, really think that other brothers who are eyeing each other are paper paste? Even if you really make you an emperor, I'm afraid you will be a puppet emperor.

Just like Ouyang, he usually puts on a loyal minister, a direct minister, when he is too there, he is loyal to the emperor, assisting Tai, too abolished, he is dedicated to running errands for the court, not to mention secretly, his power on the surface is not small, or it is established in a bright and bright way, it looks and does not deliberately, it seems that it is just for a better errand, and has a vision, although the people who value it are not conspicuous at first, but they all have the ability, he just took a hand because of his talent when people were not going well, and he definitely did not know in advance that this person would be developed in the future, So, it was so logical and lucky to develop such a big force.

Kangxi saw it clearly, and he would only stroke his beard and praise his son for his eyesight, his ability to know people, and his material to be a virtuous king, and he would not have any precautions in his heart, and when he wanted to determine Yinzhen as the heir, such qualifications were enough to bear a country, and he had nothing to worry about.

"What do you think? Under the weather? ”

After reading a book, Ouyang looked up, and saw his daughter-in-law in a daze, couldn't help laughing, threw down the official business at hand, leaned over to hug her daughter-in-law, and rubbed her waist, today is a busy day, and her daughter-in-law is pregnant again, I'm afraid I'm really tired.

Zhiyun snorted pleasantly, and then said lazily: "It's nothing...... By the way, November 23rd is Concubine De's birthday, don't you forget...... "Ouyang this guy can't remember Concubine De's birthday, he is also a mage, and his memory is so good that he won't forget what he ate on a certain day a year ago, but he doesn't care about these very much, every time Concubine De celebrates her birthday, the gifts are picked from the treasury casually, and compared with the well-prepared birthday gift of the fourteenth person, the gap in mind is obvious, the Qing Dynasty rules the world with filial piety, since he wants to be the emperor, How can you leave anyone with any handle on this.

Ouyang probably guessed his daughter-in-law's thoughts, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "My relationship with Concubine De is not very good, I guess few people don't know, although I have never bad rules on the surface, but if I do too much dedication, it will be a bit fake, like now, not rude, not too close, is the most normal, you see, after so many years, Long Live Lord didn't say anything, maybe, he still feels that his four sons are sincere, and any thoughts in his heart will be shown in a bright and bright way, not so many flowers." ”。
