Chapter 1066: The bed warmer (Part 1)

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, let me stay with Tianyou! Oh, let us stay! Please, please. Just promise me." Hongpu surrounded Cao Yong and grinded, praying with his eyes and face.

Although Tianyou didn't say anything, he followed Hongpu with his lips pursed and seemed to be unwilling to return to Beijing.

Seeing Hongpu like this, Cao Yong was amused and laughed and said, "You and Tianyou are the age of studying. It has been more than three months since I left Beijing. How long will it take to delay?"

Hongpu's eyes widened and he said, "Brother-in-law, you are not trying to teach me how to numerology and finance with Tianyou, this is also learning."

Cao Yong rolled his eyes. It was when he took them to inspect the military camp before. He was afraid that they would be naughty and not honest, so he taught them for several nights. Now, sending troops in Qinghai is about to be impatient and busy with food, grass, military and salary, so he has no time to teach students.

He restrained his smile on his face and said, "This is the prince's arrangement. The prince cares about you in the capital, and you also sympathize with the prince's love for his son."

Hongpu was embarrassed when he heard this, lowered his head and stopped talking.

Cao Yong turned to Tianyou and said, "Since my father has taken on a new job, I am afraid I can't go back before the New Year. The family is full of women and children, which is really uneasy. You are getting older, so it's better to go back early to share your mother's worries. Next February, whether to participate in the provincial examination, you can do whatever you can and make your own decisions, don't force yourself."

Tianyou lowered his hands and responded respectfully, no longer showing any urgency. He just looked a little worried and frowned and said, "Father, my son will follow my uncle and follow the guards of the palace to return to Beijing. Wei Bo and the others will stay here to avoid the lack of staff around my father."

Cao Yong thought for a while and said, "Wei Hei can stay and let Wu Sheng take half of it with you."

"Father..." Tianyou wanted to say something else.

Cao Yong waved his hand and said, "You don't have to worry. I guess there will be guards in the capital in the future. I don't have enough people."

This is also a common practice. In every war, even if the emperor does not personally fight, the imperial guards will be sent to the front of the army.

This was the case when the 14th Prince was appointed as the general, and Nian Gengyao was no exception to the position of the General Fuyuan.

When Tianyou heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and stopped talking.

On September 17th, Hongpu and Tianyou left Ganzhou with the head of the royal palace and set off for the capital.

At this time, it had been ten days since Nian Gengyao's camp.

Although Nian Gengyao took away 20,000 elite troops, the Ganzhou camp was not deserted. The civilians recruited from Shanxi, Shaanxi, Henan and other places drove horses and came to the Ganzhou camp continuously.

Nian Gengyao had already requested an order to build a city between Ganzhou and Xining.

Although it is mid-September, snow is already falling in the northwest.

These arrived civilians, together with the 5,000 weak brigades drawn from the Ganzhou garrison, will undertake this city construction task.

This is not a good time to build a city, but the imperial edict has been issued, and Cao Yong has no room for doubt. He can only make comprehensive arrangements and distribute the tents, cotton coats, grains, etc. in full, so as to build a new city as soon as possible and freeze a few people to death.

Although the errands are trivial, fortunately, the interpersonal relationship is simple, which saves socializing and fighting in the capital, and Cao Yong's life is quite worry-free...

Capital City, Prince Chun’s Mansion.

Good things have been ripe, and it has been postponed to this day. It is finally time for the seventh princess to give their makeup. Although the royal family’s daughter gets married, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has specifications and systems, in addition to the dowry prepared by the Ministry of Internal Affairs according to the grade, the prince and the concubine also add dowry to the seventh princess.

Although the dowry of the eldest princess who first became married and the fifth princess who were born in the imperial court, the dowry of the seventh princess was also very decent compared to the concubines of other royal palaces.

Because she did not appease Mongolia, she married the nephew of the most favored concubine Nian in the palace. Who would not support this royal family?

After the fifty years of Kangxi, among the emperor's family members, Nian had become the only favor among the women in the residence, especially in recent years. From the 59th year of Kangxi to the present, Nian gave birth to three young princes. Although two of them died young, they still stood up with Prince Fuhui.

Although the fourth prince Hongli was alive when he was alive, he had no mother clan to rely on.

Now, among the four princes of the emperor, Fuhui, the youngest mother, has the most noble status, and his mother's family is grateful to the emperor for being kind.

With Nian Gengyao and Longkodo's success in front of them, many people were thinking about the achievements of the Dragon. Power and wealth were blinded by everyone's eyes, making them selectively forget the tragic tragedy of "the Nine Dragons' Fight for the Throne".

While the women of the royal family gathered together, Chu Yu and the fifth princess who returned to their parents' home were also required to accompany the social engagements and talk.

As the mistress of the Cao family, Chu Yu is used to socializing, and has always had a good temper in front of others. She smiles and can say a few words to the female relatives who come to say hello. However, the fifth princess dealt with it for a while, then impatiently pulled Chu Yu away.

The two sisters went to the yard before the five princess got married.

The prince's wife Borjigit received the news, brought a few maids and personally sent some tea and dried fruits.

Because there were many female guests who needed social engagements, Chu Yu and the fifth princess did not keep her. After thanking her, she asked her to accompany the seventh concubine.

When Borjigit left, the fifth princess sighed and said, "It's hard for my sister-in-law. My mother has been in poor health in the past two years, and she has all the housework in the mansion."

In the early years, the seventh concubine did not like Borjigit, and thought she was not smart enough. After getting along for more than ten years, she gradually became harmonious. Even the fifth princess was willing to get close to her eldest sister-in-law.

Everything is going well. Seeing the harmony of the royal palace, Chu Yu was only happy and said, "My mother only believes in her. If she has changed to someone else's housekeeper, she is not at ease."

The two sisters talked a few words, talking about the seventh princess who were about to get married. The fifth princess hesitated and said, "I heard from the old lady beside my mother, that our brother-in-law has two concubines who have been together for many years, and they are all given by elders. The seventh sister is young, and I don't know if she can suppress her?"

Chu Yu has also heard of this.

The Seventh Concubine was very dissatisfied with this matter. But Nian Xi was so old that if there were really no people in the house, it would be a matter of doubt.

"Since I am marrying to the middle of the capital, under the nose of Ama and my mother, the Nian family dares to be angry with the seventh sister? Don't worry, the fifth sister!" Chu Yu was not worried. Even if Nian Xi had people in the room, they were all maids and concubines. It was just a matter of one sentence to get rid of it.

The fifth princess's in-laws' family is no less than the Cao family, and there are several levels of elders inside and outside.

She was angry with her elders of her mother-in-law. Seeing that Chu Yu didn't care, she snorted coldly and said, "Big sister said it lightly. Did you treat your wife as a daughter like the Cao family back then? Even if the seventh sister was named the princess and became a wife with others, she still had to obey and follow the four virtues."

When Chu Yu heard her talk, he didn't want to quarrel with her, so he smiled and didn't say anything.

Seeing her graceful demeanor and comfortable eyebrows, the fifth princess felt extremely dazzling. She touched her dry face and looked at her elder sister's still fair and tender face. She couldn't tell whether it was jealous or envious.

Chuyu is five years older than her, and she looks younger than her.

The fifth prince raised her eyebrows, a little sarcastic appeared on the corner of her mouth, and said with a smile: "When Huang Mafa was alive, it took four or five years to quell the Junggar rebellion; now the Erut rebellion takes several years. It is said that the northwest is bitter and cold, so the eldest sister is willing to bear the hardship of his elder brother-in-law, so there is no need to let two people pass by?"

Speaking of this, she paused and said inadvertently: "Those who know the roots are better than those who are outside leaders."

Chu Yu had thought about this for a long time. After knowing that her husband was ordered by the food officer, she made a special letter to mention the matter. Now her husband's reply has not arrived yet, but based on her settlement with her husband, ninety percent would not agree to the matter.

She didn't expect that she was still a good five-legged princess just now, and then she turned against her face and talked about her family affairs sarcastically.

Chu Yu was surprised, but he didn't show his face. He picked up the teacup, took a bite of tea, and said calmly: "I'm sorry for my fifth sister, I'm thinking about this. I've chosen a man and just waited for the prince to agree to it, so I sent him to the northwest."

The fifth princess said it on purpose, just to see Chu Yu's ugly and jealous attitude. Seeing that she was still as motionless, she was so angry that she raised her neck and gasped, her expression became stiff.

Chu Yu was afraid that she would make a fuss and was full of people, so he let others laugh at it, so he stood up and said, "Fifth sister sit down first, I have something to look for my mother." After that, he took the maid out of the house without waiting for the fifth princess to speak.

The fifth princess looked at her back, and her originally tight little face suddenly became confused.

Chu Yu left the yard of the fifth princess, but did not go to the main room of the seventh concubine. Instead, he found a side hall and asked the maid to invite the prince's wife.

Seeing her here, Borjigit was a little surprised and said, "Big sister, why are you here? This is a mess, where is the place to rest? If the eldest sister doesn't dislike it, go to my house for tea."

"The banquet is about to start, and I'm still trying to do anything? I invited my younger brother and sister to come over to ask, "I've heard my younger brother and sister beside my mother. Have you ever heard my younger sister mention whether my fifth sister is feeling uncomfortable recently?" Chu Yu asked.

"Did you see it?" Borjigit said: "I fainted once last month. My mother went over to see it, saying that it was weak and blood. The imperial doctor prescribed two prescriptions, saying that it had to be treated slowly."

Chu Yu frowned and said, "It's just that I'm weak? I didn't feel anything when I saw her last time. I didn't say anything about her face when I saw her today. I also had a yellow spot the size of a mung bean on the white of my left eye, which was easier to get angry than before."

When Borjigit heard this, he was surprised and said, "I didn't notice this."

Chu Yu said: "She loves little sex, and I can't say anything more to my mother. If it is heard, she will be more attentive. In the future, brothers and sisters will help you pay attention. If there is anything wrong, let Hongshu arrange someone to hire an imperial physician."

Borjigit responded solemnly, and a little maid came to find someone, and his sister-in-law and sister-in-law went to the banquet together...
