Concubine Wen Xi who traveled through time

Ever since Mrs. Li entered the main hall, she never mentioned a single word about her marriage. Thinking about it, she didn't dare to call her son the adopted son of the imperial concubine, let alone the princess as her adopted daughter, so she was respectful everywhere. Without losing any courtesy.

Yu Ludai measured Li Shi carefully, and said, "However, he doesn't look very much like you."

Mrs. Li nodded in agreement, with a respectful and decent smile on his face, he said kindly: "A dog is like a father."

Yu Ludai tilted his head, as if he wanted to get some clues from Li's facial features, but he couldn't think of anything, so he said again: "I seem to have seen you somewhere."

Wen Xi didn't want to hide anything, but she didn't say it clearly, she just said: "When you were still a baby, Mrs. Cao Li Shi once gave you a Jade Buddha." Naturally, it was given to you when you recognized your daughter, Yulu Tai naturally didn't remember.And Cao Yong's jade pendant was also given by Wen Xi when he recognized his adopted son.

Yulu Dai hastily pulled out a red rope from his neck, on which he was indeed wearing a jade Maitreya Buddha with an excellent water head. ?"

Li Shi was taken aback, and said in a low voice: "I didn't expect...the princess always carries it with me."

Yulu Dai's slender jade fingers stroked the Jade Buddha. She liked this little thing very much. The big belly Maitreya Buddha opened his mouth and smiled, and the carving was lifelike. Even the wrinkles on the forehead were extremely fine, and the folds of the Buddha's robe were also very clear. .Yu Ludai thought for a while, but still couldn't think of anything, but she looked like a grown-up, and said: "In this case, the princess will not care about that kid!"

Wen Xi pretended to be angry, and said, "This is your fault!"

Yu Ludai pouted, not knowing what he was muttering.

Wen Xi smiled again, and said kindly to Li Shi: "Back then, I recognized Cao Yong as a foster son, so Madam don't need to be too cautious."

Li's forehead protruded, and he hurriedly said: "The imperial concubine was just joking at the beginning, how dare the slave take it seriously?"

Wen Xi just chuckled, and didn't take it seriously.Even if she was willing to accept Cao Yong as the adopted son, Cao Yin and his wife would not dare to recognize this god-in-law.Then he ordered Zhu'er to send Mrs. Li back in person.

Yu Ludai leaned forward curiously, and took Wen Xi's arm: "Did Er Niang really recognize that kid as her adopted son?!"

Wen Xi twisted Yulu Daiqiong's nose angrily, and said, "What 'that boy'?! It's not like he doesn't have a name! Besides, he's a year older! Don't just say 'that boy', it's rude !"

"Got it, got it!" Yulu Dai said "Got it" with a perfunctory attitude. "Why did Er Niang recognize him as a foster son?!"

Wen Xi just chuckled, Cao Yin had planned to get married back then, but Wen Xi shirked that her daughter was already engaged, so she settled for the next best thing, and recognized each other's adopted son and daughter, but Wen Xi did not intend to give Yu Lu Dai talked about what happened in detail.He just said: "It was just a chance meeting at the beginning. Cao Yong was a good-looking man at that time. Then he recognized his adopted son."

Yuludai pouted, "It's settled, it's fine if Erniang recognizes her adopted son, I don't recognize that god-brother!"

Wen Xi poked her eyebrows with a smile, "No one is forcing you to admit it! You just need to stop bullying them!"

Yulu Dai nuzzled angrily, "I hate it! How could anyone bully him!"

Wen Xi warned again: "Don't tell your Huang Ama about this matter..." Before the words fell, Kangxi raised his voice outside: "I already know!" There was no joy or anger in his tone.Wen Xi had no choice but to go up to meet her with Yulu Dai, and said a little angrily: "Why didn't the emperor ask someone to tell you? Come in as soon as you say it!"

Kangxi couldn't help shaking his head. "You too, how could..."

Seeing that Kangxi was not angry, Wen Xi evaded, "It all happened so many years ago! If I hadn't met Cao Yong today, my concubine would have almost forgotten about it!"

"Cao Yong..." Kangxi thought for a moment, "Forget it! I will tell Cao Yin and his son not to speak nonsense to outsiders, and you should not speak out either."

Wen Xi hastily responded, Kangxi meant that he had no intention of getting to the bottom of it, after all Cao Yin was his right man, although Wen Xi's recognition of his adopted son was somewhat inappropriate, after all Kangxi would not have this matter, he just pretended not to know, so let's reveal That's all.

Wen Xi smelled the faint scent of powder on Kangxi's body, so she felt sour in her stomach: "I heard that Cao Yin is very courteous, and I just presented ten dancers to the emperor yesterday, why is the emperor still free?" Is the concubine here?"

Kangxi couldn't help feeling a little helpless when he saw Wen Xi's sour and jealous appearance, and said, "It's just a dancer girl! Don't think about it! Cao Yin, it's not Li Shizhen!"

Wen Xi snorted, "Perhaps he came up with such a plan seeing that his sister has not been favored in recent years!" Cao Guiren has already fallen out of favor, and the Cao family may not see her fall out of favor forever.

Kangxi shook his head, "That's Hu Xuanwu Dancer, you love watching Hu Xuanwu the most, I just accepted it, originally I came to ask you to watch it together, but you are jealous for no reason! That's all, At worst, I will reward others!"

As for who the dancers were rewarded with, Wen Xi didn't know. The next day, Kangxi made an order that local officials were not allowed to present beauties.

Zhizao Mansion in Jiangning, since Kangxi's first tour to the south, Zhizao Mansion has been set up as a residence. Even in the absence of Kangxi, no one is allowed to live in it. It needs to be maintained and repaired every year, which is really a big expense.Since the 23rd year of Kangxi, the Cao family has opened up a new mansion next to Zhizao Mansion. As a residence, the back garden of the palace is connected with the back garden of Cao's new mansion, so it can be seen from a distance that there are female family members of the Cao family enjoying flowers here .

Along the way, Wen Xi has already met several beautiful and beautiful ladies from the Cao family, and Wen Xi has to ask Wen Xi to doubt the intentions of the Cao family. Isn't it enough to have a Cao noble? !Thinking of this, his face was a little heavy.

"All blessings, imperial concubine!" When she was distracted, Cao Guiren's voice came to her ears.

Wen Xi said a word of courtesy, although the noble Cao is not old, but after all, she is not a young girl in her twenties and eight years, and because she has been out of favor for many years, her expression is a little gloomy, that is, it is rare to see her in Zhizhi Mansion.Wen Xi took a look at her. Today's outfit seemed to be a little brighter than usual, and behind her was a very good-looking woman of fourteen or fifteen years old.

Cao shi turned sideways and said, "This is Zhiying, the concubine's cousin."

Wen Xi glanced at the delicate and timid Cao Zhiying, who was dressed elegantly and decently, but Wen Xi couldn't help but wonder, if the daughter of the Cao family was in the Han army banner and lived in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time, most of the people around the Cao family His background is not prominent, and he is not qualified to participate in the draft at all, so why is he still wearing a manchurian attire without looking unnatural?It was obviously trained early in the morning, and she was different from the little-legged Han Chinese Miss Cao I met just now.

"I vaguely remember—" Wen Xi stared at Cao Guiren, "Is there a word 'E' in your boudoir name?"

Cao Gui said yes, and said: "The concubine's humble name is Cao Xiu'e."

The cousin's name is Cao Xiu'e, and the cousin's name is Cao Zhiying, Wen Xi sneered: "Do you want to learn from E Huang Nvying and work together?!"

Cao Guiren gave an encouraging smile, and said respectfully, "The concubine is just taking Zhiying out for a walk."

Wen Xi could hear this kind of excuse very reluctantly, so she sarcastically said unceremoniously: "The former emperor also said that the scenery in the back garden of the palace is beautiful, and told me to come and walk when I am idle, I didn't expect The scenery is really good, and you can see a lady of the Cao family who is as beautiful as a flower in three or five steps! What? Does Mrs. Cao have many cousins?!"

There was a slight sadness in Cao Guiren's eyes, he sighed lowly, and said: "It's just that the concubine's mother is getting old and likes to be lively, so she invited the girl from the uncle's and brother's family from far away, just to have a family relationship. "

Wen Xi snorted slightly, the emerald phoenix steps on the flag bun swayed slightly and the pearl tassels swayed slightly in the spring light, but she said bluntly: "If you want to talk about family relationships, you should go to Ximianzhifu, not the general manager." Drill into the imperial garden of the Xinggong Palace! Grandma Sun is getting old, and I can forgive her for being old and ignorant, so why didn't Mrs. Cao persuade me a little? Breaking into the Xinggong Palace is a serious crime!"

Wen Xi's tone already had the meaning of questioning guilt, Cao Guiren couldn't help being shocked, and hurriedly knelt down, kowtowed and admitted his mistake: "Mother is old and confused, please forgive me, imperial concubine!"

Cao Zhiying, who was kneeling behind Cao Guiren, felt a little bit wronged, and said timidly: "Imperial Concubine, the garden behind the weaving mansion is connected with the imperial garden of the palace. ? Zhiying and her cousin dare not bear such a serious crime!"

The corners of Wen Xi's mouth raised slightly, "He has sharp teeth!" Wen Xi stepped on three-inch-high rosewood soles with flowerpot soles, and the pearls adorned on them were round and as big as thumbs. , Cao Zhiying knelt there and looked at the pearl shoes, envy flashed in her eyes.

Cao Guiren saw that Zhiying was so presumptuous, he hurriedly kowtowed again: "My sister is not sensible, please forgive me!"

The arc of the corner of Wen Xi's mouth evoked the coldness in the spring, and said: "She is right, it is true that there should be a boundary between the back garden of the weaving mansion and the palace garden!" Wen Xi turned her face and raised her finger Pointing to the carp pond ten feet away, he said: "From today onwards, we will use the carp pond as the boundary, and if you pass it, you will be trespassing on the palace!" If this is the case, the several Miss Cao's that Wen Xi met along the way would all cross the boundary Naturally, so is Cao Zhiying!

"If the family members of foreign ministers want to see them, they must first pass the sign to the palace before they can enter the palace! This kind of rule was established early in the morning, and Cao Guiren knows it even if he wants to come!" Wen Xi's tone was rigid, without a trace of warmth.

"Yes, maids and concubines must abide by the rules and never do it again!" Cao Guiren hurriedly said.

Cao Zhiying was a little bit unwilling, and raised her head and said: "But the emperor promised that the noble sister and the old lady will often meet!"

Wen Xi glanced at the restless Cao Zhiying like this, "The emperor promised Grandma Sun, so she can naturally enter and leave the palace! It's just that the emperor didn't allow you, so I don't agree with the emperor. He directly ordered the guards to beat him to death with sticks!" Wen Xi said the last four words coldly, with a bit of murderous intent, which made Cao Zhiying's face turn pale in fright.

Wen Xi let out a snort of disdain and laughed, ambitious but courageous! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
