Queen Xiaoxi

Chapter 386

"I heard that today the emperor decreed that Honghui of the fourth family was posthumously crowned the crown prince of Prince Yong, and Hongsheng, the eldest son of Yinqi, was enthroned as the crown prince of Prince Heng." The empress dowager said, one from the fourth family and the other directly. From the name, we can understand how close and distant we are.

"After all, Long Live Master cares about his son and daughter-in-law. Long Live Master is thinking that Brother Honghui died young and will be able to enjoy the incense after being crowned the Crown Prince. As for Brother Hong Sheng's position as Crown Prince, it was the fifth elder brother who won the first place yesterday. Reward." Wanxian said truthfully.

The Queen Mother shook her head and sighed and said, "How can it be so simple?" After saying that, the Queen Mother carefully looked at Wanxian who was sitting next to her.

Not only the Queen Mother, but also the Crown Princess looked at Wanxian carefully.

In fact, not only the Empress Dowager and the Crown Princess, but also outsiders also knew that Kangxi's temperament had changed somewhat since Wanxian, the concubine, was brought to Kangxi's side.In the past, Kangxi, who had so many things to do, would take care of the affairs of the harem and the female family members of the palace, as well as a group of elder brothers.In the past, Kangxi always hated that iron could not become steel, but what about now?Anyone with a discerning eye would know at a glance that it was Wanxian who followed Kangxi.

The more the Queen Mother looked at Wanxian, the more satisfied she became. Before, the Queen Mother was still a little dissatisfied with Wanxian.After all, she sat on the imperial concubine's throne despite having no family background and no heirs. Such a promotion was too eye-catching.

"Originally, because I wanted to pay my respects to the Queen Mother today, Long Live Lord specially asked my servant to bring Galudai's candidate for the husband-in-law to advise the Queen Mother. But my servant felt that the investigation was not comprehensive enough, so I wanted to investigate it all. Once you know it clearly, I will bring you the roster for the Queen Mother to take a look at." Wanxian didn't know what to say to the Queen Mother, so she could only communicate with the Queen Mother about Galudai's marriage.

The Queen Mother and Crown Princess were overjoyed when they heard what Wan Xian said about the list of consorts.The candidate Kangxi selected as his consort was naturally the best.But after hearing what Wanxian said next, the two of them felt anxious again.

As for Galudai, when he heard that it was his prince-in-law, his face turned red and he lowered his head and said nothing.

The Empress Dowager asked anxiously: "But is there any important matter that has not been investigated clearly?"

The Crown Princess also looked at Wanxian anxiously.

Wanxian saw the Empress Dowager anxious and quickly replied: "Actually, the list prepared by Long Live Master is already very detailed. The candidates' virtues, surnames, ages, and family backgrounds are all complete. It's just..."

"Just what?" The Queen Mother was too impatient to hear what Wanxian said so slowly.

Galudai also recovered from the girl's embarrassment and looked directly at Wanxian who was speaking.

Wanxian really didn't know that the Empress Dowager was so impatient. The Empress Dowager interrupted her before she could finish her words.Wanxian quickly replied: "I think the slave should also add the candidate's parents' treatment and temperament to the list. After all, in the future, when my husband-in-law is out serving the country loyally, Galudai still has to get along with his mother-in-law. If you meet a mother-in-law who is difficult to get along with, you will suffer."

"That's not what you said. What you said makes sense." The Queen Mother listened to Wanxian's explanation and patted her thigh happily.

The Crown Princess also quickly stood up and saluted Wanxian and thanked her: "My daughter-in-law is here to thank Concubine Shuma for thinking so much about Galudai's future. Come on Galudai, come and thank you Sumama." The Crown Princess sincerely said Shiyi waved to Galudai.

Galudai hurriedly stepped forward and saluted Wanxian and said, "Thank you so much, Grandma Shuma, for planning for your granddaughter."

"This is nothing, it's just my humble opinion. Besides, Galudai and I get along very well. I also want to make Galudai happy in his life." Wanxian shook her head and said embarrassedly .

"That's not what you said. In addition to the husband, the mother-in-law is also extremely important to the daughter's family." The empress dowager said, recalling the time when she had just married into the palace.At that time, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang was both her aunt and her mother-in-law, but so what.After all, people's hearts are still biased towards their sons.

The Crown Princess also nodded secretly.Although the Crown Princess does not have a biological mother-in-law, there are so many concubine mothers-in-law above her and below, which one is easy to get along with.

Although Galudai didn't understand the reason, he was so excited when he saw Uku's mother and Er Niang.Galudai knew that this matter was extremely important, and it seemed to be related to a major event in his life.

Seeing that all the masters in the hall were sighing, Grandma Ning quickly arranged for her servants to serve freshly brewed tea and freshly made snacks.

The Empress Dowager took a new tea cup, took a sip of tea, and said to Wanxian: "Shu Fei, your proposal is good. This is a major event that affects Galudai's life, so it is better to be careful. Shu Fei , you go back and tell the emperor... No, wait for the emperor to come, the Ai family will tell him personally. Galudai is still young. The candidate for the prince-in-law can still be selected slowly." The empress dowager said. He started talking to himself.

Listening to the Empress Dowager talking to herself, the Crown Princess felt extremely grateful.The Crown Princess stood up and knelt down in front of the Empress Dowager. While beating her legs, she said, "Empress Ma Ma, granddaughter-in-law, thank you for your love and care."

The Empress Dowager patted the Crown Princess's hand lovingly and said, "You don't have to say that. The Ai family has always seen your filial piety."

The Crown Princess nodded and just kept beating the Queen Mother's legs.

The Empress Dowager asked Wanxian, who was sitting next to her: "There was a commotion in the East Palace yesterday. Did you hear about it?" Wanxian nodded and said: "Yes, I heard about it."

"Did the emperor say anything?" The empress dowager was also a little worried. Although she didn't care about it during this period, Kangxi's love for Hongxi before could not be underestimated.

Wanxian quickly replied: "Long Live Lord praised the Crown Princess after hearing the whole story."

"What are you bragging about?" the Queen Mother asked again.

"Long Live Master's original words are: After all, the crown prince is still the most generous, and I did not choose the wrong wife." Wan Xian answered truthfully.

The Queen Mother nodded, feeling relieved now.He said to the Crown Princess: "Come and bring Hong Jin here to pay your respects from time to time. Hong Jin is a naive boy, and he doesn't look like someone who would burn bridges when crossing rivers."

"Yes, grandson-in-law understands. It is also his blessing that Hongjin can have Mama Huang care so much." The princess nodded.Yesterday, Galudai also told the Crown Princess exactly what Kang Xi had said.The Crown Princess also had a plan in mind.

"The Ai family remembers that Hong Xi's marriage is scheduled for the beginning of next year." The Empress Dowager said inexplicably.

The Crown Princess quickly replied: "As far as I'm concerned, Ma'am, yes. The chosen one is the Mongolian Horqin Wulanghan Zilmo family."

"Yes. Once we get married, the Ai family will propose to the emperor that Hong Xi open the palace." The Empress Dowager spoke.

The Crown Princess was overjoyed. This meant that the Crown Prince's eldest son left the palace to open a palace. The implication was that Hong Xi's inheritance rights were gone.

At this moment, the eunuch on duty outside came into the hall, saluted and said: "To the Queen Mother, Long Live Lord has arrived."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kangxi, wearing bright yellow uniforms, walked into the hall.

The Crown Princess quickly got up from the ground.Wanxian and Galudai also stood up quickly.

Kangxi glanced at Wanxian first, then walked to the Empress Dowager, knelt down and saluted, and said, "I would like to send my regards to the Queen Mother. I wish the Queen Mother long blessings and good health."

The Empress Dowager said quickly: "Get up, get up. Why are you so polite? You are an old person now, so you should take good care of yourself."

Kangxi stood up and said: "It is also appropriate to pay tribute to the emperor's mother."

Wanxian, the Crown Princess and Lu Dai quickly saluted Kangxi and said hello.

After Kangxi waved his hand to signal everyone to stand up, he unceremoniously sat where Wanxian had just sat.

"Today Horqin sent cattle and sheep. The Ai family originally wanted to keep Concubine Shu for lunch. But Concubine Shu missed you, the emperor, and insisted on returning to the palace. So the Ai family had no choice but to invite you, the emperor. "The Empress Dowager pointed at Wanxian standing below Kangxi and said with a smile.

Wanxian was embarrassed by the Empress Dowager's remarks, and she quickly blushed and lowered her head.

Kangxi looked at Wanxian with her head lowered, didn't say anything, and just smiled.

The Empress Dowager asked Kangxi: "Emperor, the Ai family heard that you appointed two princes in court today?"

"Back to the emperor's mother, exactly. One is the late Honghui of the Yinzhen family, and Honghui's sixth anniversary will be held in just two days. I thought that the child was pitiful, and he would be able to have incense to pay homage to him in the future. Also It’s Yinqi’s eldest son Hongsheng. Hongsheng is now old enough and should have a name,” Kangxi said.

The Queen Mother nodded and said: "This is the best."
