Chapter 1070: Ask but not get

Smallpox in the first year of Yongzheng did not cause much trouble in the capital.

With the promotion of cowpox, the tension that originally permeated the capital gradually calmed down. The powerful and noble families cherished their lives and arranged for slaves and servants to grow acne first.

When I saw that the cowpox I was growing was just a place where flowers were planted, I had a slew of bubbles, and the pain was not painful in other places. Moreover, it disappeared in a few days. Apart from leaving scars as big as a thumb cover, there was no other discomfort, and more and more people chose to grow acne.

The beautiful girl who was ordered to enter Beijing from all over the country had been waiting for more than a month. By the end of October, there was finally news that on the second day of November, the beautiful girl who entered the palace candidate.

After receiving the news, Hongzhou could not wait for a moment. He rushed to Jingren Palace with a gust of wind and found his adoptive mother, Concubine Xi, and Niuhulu, to talk about Xiang.

"Mom, good Mom, don't forget, your son is still waiting." Hongzhou asked An, then twisted Niuhulu's arm and came out in anger.

Although he was not born to Niuhulu, he was raised in front of Niuhulu since childhood. The two fell in love with their biological mother and son.

As early as when the palace issued an order to vote for a general election, Hongzhou came to ask for love and asked his adoptive mother to help him pay attention to someone.

In the harem, Concubine Xi is ranked behind the Empress, Concubine Qi, and is the fourth largest figure in the harem. Logically speaking, even if she has a share in the talent show, she is only intrinsic and has no right to make decisions.

However, she is gentle and has always been loved by the queen. She assisted the queen in handling palace affairs. For example, the imperial concubine Nian, although she is very glorious, she has a very delicate body and never bothered with the civil affairs. Concubine Li of Qi fought with the queen in her early years, and in recent years she was not in harmony with Nian. Because of her age, she has long been unpopular. Even if she wants to interfere in palace affairs, she can't speak.

He ascended the throne for one year now. Although he was granted the title of concubine, he was all old people in the residence and did not add new people.

From the placement of these concubines in the palace, we can see who is the one who can speak in front of the queen.

In recent years, the imperial concubine Nian, who had the most favored children for the emperor, was the concubine Li, who had the most children of the emperor, and the emperor's first concubine, Maopin Song, were all placed in the Western Six Palaces.

The queen took the fourth prince's biological mother, Concubine Xi, and the fifth prince's biological mother, Yupin Geng, to separate from the East Six Palaces.

Hongzhou did not beg for his biological mother, but instead begged for his adoptive mother because he was more harsh than his biological mother.

At Hongzhou's begging, Niuhulu had already agreed to him, but he didn't want him to get into women too early. He said with a stern face: "If you are honest and well-behaved, you will stay; if you are charming, even if you say that you are going to be a fool, I will still leave the sign."

Hongzhou was accustomed to observing words and expressions. He knew that she was not really annoyed. He helped Niuhulu beat his shoulders with scruples and said, "It's the girl of the Cao family, the cousin of the Heshuo's prince Cao Yong. Everyone should praise their family tutors, so they can't be wrong."

Concubine Xi knew that the Cao family had a good relationship with the Thirteenth Prince. Among so many royal princes, the queen was quite close to Prince Chun's mansion, who was waiting to marry the Cao family. She naturally satisfied Hongzhou's wish and was willing to make this happen.

However, she was afraid that Geng would be too worried. After all, the Fourth Prince had no one around him yet, so she said, "But I agreed that even if I keep the sign, I will have to wait until next year if I want someone."

Hongzhou was satisfied with being able to get someone smoothly. He didn't dare to bargain. He hugged Concubine Xi's arm and said happily: "I'll follow my mother's arrangement!"

Footsteps came from the door, and then a palace maid and eunuch whispered to his composure.

It's Hongli that has come.

Seeing that he was going to pay his respects to his biological mother, Hongzhou got up and avoided the side.

Seeing him smiling brightly, Hongli held the corner of his mouth and said, "It's so happy? You got a dawn horse and a nanmu bow a few days ago, but you didn't see this success!"

Hongzhou's eyes flashed, his little face flushed, and he smiled "hehe" and did not answer.

Concubine Xi asked their brothers to sit down and asked Hongli, "The fifth brother knows to ask his mother for a favor. What kind of thing do you want as a brother? Do you have a constitution in your heart?"

Hongli knew that according to the rules, both of them had to point to the side room before the wedding. He was ranked higher than Hongzhou. If Hongzhou wanted to ask for the people around him, he would also point one in advance.

"My son hasn't thought about this..." Hongli said, looking at Hongzhou. Sure enough, seeing his little face drooping, showing a little nervous look, she couldn't help but laugh in her heart, and then said, "If it means someone, it depends on the arrangements of the emperor and his mother."

After hearing this, Concubine Xi smiled and nodded, very relieved.

The former emperor's different treatment of Hongli made Hongli show his strength, but it also pushed him to the forefront.

How many pairs of eyes are waiting for them, mother and son to make mistakes.

Hongzhou chose the people around him, but he could do whatever he wanted; Hongli could only wait, waiting for the queen to point to others, waiting for the emperor to point to others.

If you choose someone yourself, choose someone with a low family background and have a vulgar look; choose someone with a high family background and have ulterior motives; choose someone with a beautiful color and be lewd; choose someone with no beauty and be fake and deceive others. No matter how you choose, people will tell you that they are bad.

Hongzhou was okay to act coquettishly in private, but in front of his brother, he couldn't understand it. After saying a few words, another gust of wind slipped away.

There were many people and mixed people, even if they were biological mothers and sons, they would not dare to be too close to each other. Hongli followed Hongzhou.

Concubine Xi was cleaning up, going to the Queen's Palace to pay tribute, and by the way, he also asked about the election of the next day. The next day was the first day of the Eight Banners' Selection, and the two yellow flags were read.

In the warm pavilion of Zhongcui Palace, the queen used up a bird's nest, and the clear water whispered, and complained to Madam Lu: "How can they make a decision to be the emperor's decoration? The emperor is not Taizong, and I am not Xiaoduan Queen. They are jealous of Nian's family, but they don't know that only when Nian's family is ahead can they achieve peace."

Madam Lu hesitated and said, "Empress, look at the meaning of the uncles and wives, and letting the four girls run together, is a bit inevitable. If the Empress does not keep any of them, she will be complained."

The queen sneered: "Let them complain. Don't seek to make progress. If they have a better future, they can support me and help them. What's wrong with it? They only know how to live a life of scattered life and want to rely on women's welfare."

The master and servant were talking when Concubine Xi arrived and a palace maid came in to report.

The queen shouted in because it was not an outsider who came, and her expression was still angry.

Seeing this, Concubine Xi was a little cautious and respectfully invited Da'an.

The queen waved her hand, called her up, sat down beside her, and said, "I was thinking of asking someone to come over..." While speaking, she took a post and handed it to her, "This is a list of royal families who need to be married. You can see first, how many people will be left this year, and I will have a good idea in my heart."

Concubine Xi took it with both hands and glanced at it. It was a few sons of a certain royal family. She had a wife who needed to add a concubine, but had no wife who needed to be a concubine. She was full of pages.

She said carefully: "The people outside need these, where is the palace?"

She also heard about the Queen's family's desire to send someone to the palace. She met the Queen's sister-in-law a few days ago in the Queen's harem.

The empress’s family is Zhenghuang Banner, so I will choose to read it the next day.

The queen smiled and looked at her and said, "Yesterday I talked about this with the emperor. The emperor wanted to keep a mourning for the Emperor and the Empress of Daxing, without leaving any one."

When Concubine Xi heard this, she was surprised, but couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

If the girl from the Ulanara family really entered the palace as a concubine, if there was a prince, she would definitely be kept in the queen's harem. In that case, the fourth prince's position would become awkward.

The queen pointed to the post in Concubine Xi's hand and said, "I am really impatient and upset. My sister is more careful and help me find two similar candidates. The title does not need to be high. Both Duke Zhenguo and Duke assist. My nieces, if you are a concubine, will give me the sign and the decent ones will be given."

Concubine Xi responded respectfully, and said that Hongzhou was asking for advice, not that she had agreed, but that Hongzhou did not dare to ask the queen for advice, and asked her to say something.

Thinking of the appearance of the boy Hongzhou, he knew that he was begging women. The queen smiled a little on her face: "It's hard for him to grow up, so she might as well help him. But the emperor has to hide it from him. Otherwise, the emperor would start to care about other girls when he knew he was young, for fear of being scolded again..."

The Cao family is Zhengbai Banner, and the second day of the Eight Banners election was held. However, the candidate girl had to leave home the afternoon of the previous day and go to the outside of Shenwu Gate to ship cars.

The Cao family is paying attention to this matter because the fourth sister and Wuer are running for the election.

The Cao Song brothers did not have the intention of using their sister to gain power, so they were not as nervous as Zhao Jia.

Although Zhaojia had already gone to the Thirteenth Prince's Mansion, she was still worried about her beloved daughter. She sent off the fourth sister and Wu'er, and waited for them to come back with a silence.

When he learned that his fourth sister and Wu'er had returned from the primary election, Zhao Jia's eyes turned red.

The fourth sister and Wuer all passed the primary election and were re-elected in five days.

In Zhaojia's heart, she didn't know whether she was happy or reluctant to let go, so she fell ill all of a sudden.

The condition is coming in a fierce manner. After a few days of practice, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

The Cao Song brothers were so scared that those who changed shifts and those who asked for leave were all in front of the bed.

At this time, Cao Fu had already passed the Hanlin Academy examination, got a second-class examination, and was appointed as the head of the Ministry of Rites. Because he was a light provincial government office, it was cheap to take leave.

Cao Ying received the news and came back once. Because she lived with her parents-in-law, it was difficult to go back to her parents' home to serve her, so she stayed for a whole day before she returned.

My mother is so seriously ill, so how can I have any thoughts on my fourth sister and Wuer?

Cao Song came forward and went to Prince Zhuang's mansion to ask for help from the Sixteenth Prince. He was not afraid of anything else, but because he saw that Zhao Jia was dangerous and that his two sisters were preparing to marry.

The sixteenth prince knew that Cao Yong was very careful when he was with his cousin of the East Mansion. Now the elders of the East Mansion are seriously ill, and the younger generations are also filial to serve the sick in front of the bed.

But it’s okay if the fourth sister is the legitimate daughter, but if the fifth sister is the concubine’s daughter, it’s unnecessary.

So, he made the decision, and the fourth sister asked for leave and did not participate in the re-election; the fifth one was re-election as usual.

As a result, Wu'er's re-election was left with a sign again.

The fourth sister has to wait for the next draft before participating in the re-election. Because this draft is one year ahead of schedule, if it is probably correct, the next draft will be four years later. By then, the fourth sister is eighteen years old, but she still has to participate in the draft before she can talk about marriage.

Just as the Cao Song brothers were discussing sadly whether to start preparing the birthday materials, Zhao Jia opened her eyes.

The disease comes like a mountain falling, and the disease goes like a thread being drawn.
