The Forbidden City in autumn is majestic and majestic, and the autumn frost on the bright yellow glazed tiles is gradually being melted away by the scorching sun.As soon as the emperor returned to the palace, he went to Jingyang Palace, which he seldom visited. Concubine Xuan Borzigit was seriously ill. .

Outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, there are first-class guards and second-class guards in the middle and upper ranks of the imperial guards waiting. The emperor is not in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, so the guards can be a little looser.Then a few people came up to congratulate Shun Anyan, the emperor gave him a marriage before going on tour, and married Princess Heshuo Jingshun, congratulated Lord Shang, and wanted to congratulate him on being transferred to the Qianfeng camp as the leader.Shun Anyan had to deal with it one by one, and finally waited until the shift change at noon, and at least she was able to go to the guards to rest.

Shun Anyan saw another young bodyguard, who looked only sixteen or seventeen years old, but had already worn the uniform of a second-class bodyguard. Congratulations to Master Tong Jia for being promoted to the forward leadership." Yunyun.

Shun Anyan didn't dare to underestimate him, so he asked politely: "This brother is a bit unfamiliar?"

"Xiaozhi used to work in Fengtai Daying, accompanied the driver on patrol, and was transferred to the imperial guard when he came back." The second-class guard said neither humble nor overbearing.

Shun Anyan let out an oh, then flashed his head, and hurriedly asked: "Are you Cao Yong Cao's bodyguard?!"

Cao Yong was slightly taken aback, he had never seen Shun Anyan before, but he heard someone congratulating outside when he came in just now, so he didn't want to be rude to the Shangguan, so he came forward to congratulate him, but he didn't understand why Shun Anyan Yan recognized him, "How does Master Tong Jia recognize a humble job?!"

Shun Anyan laughed hastily and said: "Although I have never accompanied you, I have heard of the name of Brother Cao! In Horqin, he defeated Prince Darhan's son and Mongolia's first warrior, Lord Baylor! It has already spread in the palace! I see you Being so young and a bit unfamiliar, I guess it's you!"

Cao Yong cupped his hands slightly, "My lord, I've won the prize!" He said again: "Before I was in Fengtai Daying in a humble position, I never congratulated my lord on the Lord's joy. I congratulate you here!"

"Congratulations!" Shun Anyan said with deep meaning, then glanced around, and lowered her voice when she saw no one around, "Brother Cao and I will be brother-in-law in the future!"

Cao Yong slightly startled.Neither the emperor nor the imperial concubine nor Princess Gu Lun had ever disclosed this matter to the outside world... He thought that Shun Anyan was a child of Tong Jia's family and the emperor's nephew, so he wondered if the emperor had informed him in advance?

Shun Anyan could see Cao Yong's doubts, and said, "I'm just guessing, just look at Brother Cao's appearance. It seems that I guessed it right!" As he spoke, there were a few undetectable traces in his tone. Sadly.

Cao Yong didn't dare to say too much: "My lord, think too much, the imperial decree has not yet been issued, and the humble position..."

"Brother Cao is too polite! Why do you have to say 'adult' and 'low job'? If you don't dislike Tong, then you can get along with each other." Shun Anyan was very polite.With a touch of kindness.

Shun Anyan was originally very popular among the imperial guards.He never relies on his status, so he is supported by others.After all, those who can be imperial guards are all from good backgrounds, and half of them will have great achievements in the future. Making one more friend here will be of great help to future official careers.And Cao Yong showed his sharpness in Horqin.In one fell swoop, he was promoted from a small military officer of the sixth-rank Fengtai camp to a third-rank imperial guard (the fifth rank).After the big victory, not only was he promoted to the second-class bodyguard ([-]th grade), but his whole family carried the yellow flag inlaid into the Manchu army. With such a grand momentum, Shun Anyan naturally guessed that it was because of the sixth princess, so he did not dare to put on the slightest posture of being an official. . ——Shun Anyan was promoted to the first-class bodyguard (the third rank) after bestowing a marriage with the fifth princess, and now he has transferred the forward battalion to the third rank to join the leadership.

Shun Anyan is so polite, Cao Yong naturally will not be ignorant of flattery, immediately called him a brother, and then agreed to go to a certain restaurant to have a drink together at night, so he almost did not become a brother.

Jingyang Palace.

Kangxi looked at Concubine Xuan, who was already haggard on the vermilion bed, and Yinxiang, the thirteenth elder brother who was kneeling on the bed and couldn't help crying Accompany Concubine Xuan, I will go back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation first."

Wen Xi thanked Kangxi in a low voice, and sent Kangxi away respectfully.Then he called out Hu Yu and asked softly, "Concubine Xuan's illness..."

Hu Yu could only shake his head slightly, and said: "The oil is exhausted, and the lamp is dry. It is only by perseverance that I can make it to this day. It's just... I'm afraid it won't last too long."

Wen Xi sighed softly, Concubine Xuan's body was not very good in the early years, and she couldn't bear to miss the thirteenth brother if she could survive until now!Then he moved into the bedroom.Jingyang Palace has never been a place of luxury. Although Concubine Xuan is not a concubine, the interior decoration is not as good as Yonghe Palace, which is a secret concubine.Concubine Xuan has always acted in a low-key manner, not attracting attention, and in addition to being sick and weak these years, she has seldom come into the eyes of others.

The thirteenth elder brother's concubine, Wusuli, served Concubine Xuan very carefully to drink the medicine. Wen Xi watched silently, and walked forward when Concubine Xuan finished drinking a large bowl of thick black and bitter concoction.

Seeing that it was Wen Xi, Concubine Xuan immediately showed a bit of excitement. She couldn't get up, but hurriedly called: "Yinxiang, kowtow to the imperial concubine!"

The thirteenth elder brother has always been filial, so naturally he kowtowed to the ground without saying a word.As usual, elder brother needs to salute when he sees the imperial concubine, but he doesn't need to do such a big salute.Wen Xi didn't understand what Concubine Xuan meant, so she endured it silently, sitting sideways on Concubine Xuan's bedside, and said in a gentle voice, "Do you feel better?"

Concubine Xuan's pale face showed a faint smile, "I know the body of the concubine myself. The concubine does not need to comfort the concubine, nor does she need to be sad." She said with gentle eyes looking at the young man who had grown into a young man. Elder Brother Thirteen said: "The only thing I can't worry about is Yinxiang. I only hope that the imperial concubine will take pity on him. If she can take care of this child for a while in the future, the concubine will die without regret."

Concubine Xuan's words were tantamount to last words, Wen Xi naturally couldn't refuse, and said: "Brother Thirteen is your own child, so I will naturally take care of him." Seeing that there was no outsider in the bedroom, she whispered: " The Empress Dowager is very fond of Qiqige, the daughter of Prince Darkhan, when she went to Horqin this time."

Concubine Xuan immediately became excited: "Imperial Concubine, Yinxiang must not marry Meng Gege as Fujin!" A word was said too quickly, and her pale face turned red abnormally, followed by a severe cough.

Wen Xi hurriedly held Concubine Xuan and said: "Don't get excited! It's just that the Queen Mother likes it!" Then she glanced at Brother Thirteen.

Yinxiang hurriedly knelt down and said, "Emiang, my son doesn't like Qiqige! Neither does Huang Ama!"

Only then did Concubine Xuan calm down her breathing a little, and mournfully said: "If Elder Brother Thirteen marries Horqin's Gege, of course it will be more honorable, but he will definitely lose the emperor's favor!" mean?It's just that in his mind, it's more important to impress this son, not to mention that the queen mother is old and the emperor is in full swing, so concubine Xuan naturally knows who to obey.

Concubine Xuan took Wen Xi's hand, "The concubine is selfish, and I don't want the thirteenth brother to marry Fujin who is too high-status, I just want to be gentle and virtuous, and Yinxiang will like it."

Wen Xi nodded, Concubine Xuan's request was indeed not high, so she naturally would not refuse, and said, "I understand what you mean, the emperor will not treat the thirteenth brother badly, you can rest assured." Kangxi will not call The thirteenth elder brother married Mongolian Gege, and he had already raised and abandoned a tenth elder brother, so how could he raise and waste another son?

And the concubine Wusuli who stood behind the thirteenth elder brother bowed her body obediently, but her ears were always pricked up, and she listened to the words just now.

The seriously ill man was in low spirits, and after talking to Gu Gu for a while, Wen Xi saw that Concubine Xuan was extremely exhausted, so she asked Elder Brother Thirteen to take care of her, and went back to the palace.Concubine Xuan's illness has accumulated over time, even though she is terminally ill now, she will not go away immediately.

After returning to the palace, Wen Xi was thinking about how to tell Kangxi the two things Concubine Xuan asked for. Although she never said it clearly, Wen Xi also understood that he was always inseparable from Brother Thirteen, and there were only two things he asked for. I hope that the thirteenth elder brother will modify Yudie, and the second is that Kangxi will marry the thirteenth elder brother.It's just that Concubine Xuan's appearance may be difficult to survive until next year's draft.

Kangxi came to Chengqian Palace in the evening after dealing with government affairs. Seeing Wen Xi's pensive look, he asked, "What's the matter? What are you thinking?"

Wen Xi immediately came back to her senses, smiled slightly, and said frankly: "I'm thinking about Concubine Xuan again."

Kangxi murmured and didn't answer.Wen Xi mourned and said: "Concubine Xuan is pitiful, and now she is reluctant to part with the thirteenth elder brother to last until now. Just now she asked the concubine for something, and the concubine could not refuse." Wen Xi looked at Kangxi with a serious expression. She seemed to be listening, and then continued: "Concubine Xuan wants to ask the emperor to posthumously confer the title of the thirteenth elder brother's biological mother Mingui as a concubine."

Immediately, Kangxi frowned with deep disgust, and said unceremoniously: "Zhang Jia's crime is unforgivable, I think it is extra merciful to give her the title of noble person after death for Yinxiang's sake!"

"The concubine doesn't like Zhang Jia's either," Wen Xi said with a look of hesitation, "It's just that concubine Xuan and the concubine have known each other for many years, and she is only asking for the thirteenth brother, but she hopes that after she goes, the thirteenth Brother has no adoptive mother to take care of him, and his biological mother is just a noble person..."

Kangxi also hesitated, tapping his fingers lightly on the table.

Wen Xi then added further anger: "Actually, Concubine Xuan has kept herself safe for many years and is filial to the Queen Mother, why not—" Wen Xi looked steadily into Kangxi's still hesitant eyes, and continued: "A person who is about to die is as good as what he says." good."

Kangxi let out a sigh of relief and said, "I see."

Wen Xi didn't understand whether he agreed or not, but it was hard to keep asking.Kangxi suddenly showed his face, and tapped Wen Xi's brow, "It's been six years since you gave birth to Yinli..." As he spoke, his eyes wandered to Wen Xi's flat belly, "The imperial doctor said that I have no body. Why, when I took those things back then, there was no root cause of the disease, so why have there been no good news?"

Wen Xi's face was slightly embarrassed, Concubine Xuan was very sick, but this was what Kangxi cared about the most!He pouted and said: "The emperor means that the concubine is old and can't conceive?!"

"How could it be?!" Kangxi had a smile on his face, twisted Wen Xi's face, and suddenly had a wicked smile, "I really think I worked hard enough!" He hugged Wen Xi as he spoke , Stride towards the sleeping hall.

Depend on!Old pervert!Wen Xi viciously raised her middle finger. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
