Chapter 140: Chunwang Mansion

September 15th is the birthday of Nala, the legitimate concubine of the Chun Palace. As the future son-in-law, Cao Yong also received an invitation from the Chun Palace three days in advance.

Logically speaking, Cao Yong had already gotten into a marriage with the eldest princess of the Chun Palace and should have come to pay his respects to his future father-in-law and mother-in-law. Because Cao Yin was in the south and the Cao clan had no other relatives in Beijing, Cao Yong, the future son-in-law, had no reason to visit him, and he had never had the chance to enter the gate of the Chun Palace.

On that day, after the class in the study room, the sixteenth prince followed Cao Yong out of the palace, and he was also going to Prince Chun’s mansion for wine.

The Chunwang Mansion is located in Mi Lane, Dongjiang. He left Donghuamen, followed Chang'an Street and rode a horse towards Chongwenmen for a quarter of an hour. Because the Ministry of Rites and the Honglu Temple, the Four Translators are all here, and there are many carriages, horses, and sedan chairs. This "Four Translators Hall" is the "Huitong Hall", also known as the "Four Translators Hall", which is specially used to receive four vassal states from Annan, Mongolia, North Korea and Myanmar, so there are also some pedestrians dressed in foreign races here.

Cao Yong thought that he could go to work in six ministries, but when he saw the sign of the Ministry of Rites, he felt a little jealous. This was a light provincial government office, with not so many twists and turns. Qingshui government office was the most suitable for being lazy.

The sixteenth prince was riding a horse with him. When he saw him looking at the ritual office over there, he smiled and said, "What? I'm thinking about errands now? Other departments are okay, but you don't think about the rituals!"

Cao Yong understood what the Sixteenth Prince meant and smiled bitterly in his heart. He just thought about it. Now, Prince Chun is in charge of the Ministry of Rites, and he is his future son-in-law. Even if he wants to avoid suspicion, the superiors will not let him serve in the Ministry of Rites.

"I think the Ministry of Revenue is good! I have been empty recently, and I heard that people are stuffed into it everywhere! Otherwise, let's go through the Fourth Brother's path and go to the Ministry of Revenue, and you can't help but find a high-quality one!" As the Sixteenth Prince said, he couldn't help laughing: "But, the Fourth Brother's temper is not easy to match. With your tiredness, how can you catch his eyes!"

Cao Yong smiled and waved his hand, "I know myself, so I'd better find a place to relax!"

While speaking, I had already arrived at Prince Chun's Mansion.

There were many carriages, horses, mules and sedans in front of the door. The Yingke manager at the door was in his twenties. It seemed that he recognized the Sixteenth Prince. He hurried forward and beat him up first: "My servant Wang Qing has seen the Sixteenth Prince, please pay tribute to the Sixteenth Prince!" Then, he personally took the reins of the Sixteenth Prince and asked him to dismount.

The sixteenth prince turned over and dismounted, threw a few golden seeds casually, and said with a smile: "You are smart, are you from those mansions now?"

Wang Qing returned: "Dear masters, the concubine has arrived. Prince Jian's mansion, Prince Ping's mansion, and several masters from Prince Shuncheng's mansion have just entered!" Because he looked at Cao Yong, who was not dressed in a entourage guard behind the Sixteenth Prince, he couldn't help but take a look at him twice.

The sixteenth prince laughed and scolded: "You are so angry, what are you looking at? Why don't you pay me a favor? That's your future master, the eldest princess, Mr. Cao."

Wang Qing's eyes lit up. While approaching him to pay homage, he hurriedly called the servants to lead the two masters, and then accompanied the Sixteenth Prince and Cao Yong into the mansion. After entering the outer door and passing through the Lion Courtyard, the serious gate of the palace was.

As soon as he entered the gate of the royal palace, Wang Qing whispered: "The Sixteenth Master and the eldest son of the Cao Mansion have arrived."

This is the front yard of the royal palace, so there is naturally a manager who welcomes guests, so he takes Cao Yong and the Sixteenth Prince in.

Although Yin'an Hall is the main building on the Wangfu Middle Road, the real living room is in the east. In the front yard, the main room and the east-west room are all five rooms. A plaque is hung on the main room with three large characters "Diefuxuan" written on it. This is the living room of the Wangfu.

There have been many tourists in Diefuxuan, and some people know each other, but Cao Yong doesn’t know each other. However, looking at the dressing grade, they are not princes, but also from Beilebeizi. There are several non-senate families, and they are all from Duke and Marquis.

"Little Sixteen is here, come, come here, brother sit here!" The person who greeted loudly was the tenth prince Dun Prince Yinyi, who was sitting with the eighth prince and the ninth prince.

Prince Chun was originally sitting on a chair, talking to the two princes with his back to the door. Hearing the 10th Prince's greeting, he turned around and looked at the door and saw Cao Yong coming in behind the 16th Prince.

Looking at Cao Yong's gentle and elegant appearance, Prince Chun couldn't help but show a hint of joy on his face, and then stopped, slowly posing as a "majestic" elder.

The Sixteenth Prince had already clasped his fists to the Tenth Prince and smiled, "Thank you, Brother Ten, I will go there after seeing Brother Seven!" As he spoke, he entered the living room with Cao Yong.

When the prince greeted him, he did not follow the rank, but just held his fists. However, Cao Yong had to perform the junior rituals and beat him up in a regular manner.

Prince Chun first greeted the Sixteenth Prince, then nodded at Cao Yong: "Get up!" The eyes of him were quite satisfied.

Cao Yong lowered his eyebrows and looked pleased, but he felt a little amused. His father-in-law was too young, and even if he looked like an elder, it would be difficult for people to feel respect from the heart.

Although Cao Yong and the Big Princess were only engaged, they were half of the master. Therefore, Prince Chun raised his chin slightly and said to Cao Yong: "Follow me and go to see these uncles and brothers. In the future, if you are in the capital, you still need to rely on them if you can't keep a place in mind."

The Sixteenth Prince smiled "hehe" next to him, and Cao Yong naturally understood his pride. Now, as soon as Prince Chun spoke, the status of his elders and young people was decided. If he was in front of others in the future, according to the rules, Cao Yong would call him "Uncle Sixteen".

Inner courtyard, Dutch Flower Hall

Cao Jia came much earlier than Cao Yong and the others, but he was not the earliest one. When she entered the door, Prince Chun was sitting on the kang, talking to the fourteenth concubine on the left. On the right were the fifth concubine, the eighth concubine, the ninth concubine, and the tenth concubine, and were tasting tea at the same place, and chatting with several princes and princes.

Because Cao Jia was a junior, he went to greet the princes and concubines one by one, and then solemnly celebrated the birthday of King Chun Fujin.

Prince Chun asked someone to pull him and smiled and gave up his seat aside. The Fourteenth Prince stood up and said with a smile: "Come here and sit down, you two have a good chat."

Cao Jia hurriedly refused: "Aunt Fourteenth Aunt has ruined her niece-in-law!"

Although the fourteenth concubine was of the highest generation, the Cao Jia family was actually similar to hers. Moreover, the Wanyan family's Heping County Prince's Mansion had always been in good condition. The fourteenth concubine treated Cao Jia family without the air of being younger. She just like a sister, and immediately grabbed her hand and pulled it to Prince Chun's Fujin.

Prince Chun smiled and said, "Don't be too difficult for her, it's the same for her to sit on the other side of the chair."

The 14th Fujin blinked at King Chun, put Cao Jia's hand, asked someone to set up a chair, and placed Cao Jia's head in King Chun. He smiled secretly, and came to King Chun's ear and muttered: "It can be seen that it is the in-laws, so I'm protecting it like this?"

Prince Chun glared at her with a smile and said angrily: "You, you don't look like an elder."

The fourteenth concubine chuckled and asked Cao Jia a few more common words to her children, and Cao Jia laughed and answered.

After a while, the Third Concubine, Fourth Concubine, Twelve and Thirteen Concubine arrived one after another. Cao Jia hurriedly stood up and greeted him one by one. Before he could sit firmly, the Crown Princess brought the Fifteen Concubine into the door.

Everyone hurriedly gave the crown princess to the seat, paid tribute to the state gift, and sat back again. At that time, there were already people in the room, and only a few princes and concubines were still there. The princes and concubines could not sit down. Prince Chun said a few words with a smile, and then gave up the people to the outside table. Because there were still female relatives who came to pay their birthday, she still had to wait here and could not enter the table, so she entrusted the three concubines to help take care of them.

Everyone stood up and went to the outer room, while Cao Jia was called to stay. Prince Chun pulled her to sit beside her. Seeing that she was still pushing her, she smiled and said, "There is no one anymore, you don't have to be a heretic. Let's sit down." She asked again, "Your Fourth Prince is almost one year old, right? Let's hold more seats?"

Cao Jia replied: "Aunt Lao Qi is concerned about it. This month, I will be here for the 19th day of the month."

Prince Chun said with a smile: "It's been half a year since I saw him last time. Two days ago, Mrs. Tong came over and said that she was so strong, she became more handsome, and she looked more and more blessed. I was thinking about where to go and see him. Nineteen will definitely go."

Cao Jiaqian said: "Mrs. Tong praised it. The boy is just a little stronger. Aunt Qi is willing to give the glory, that's the best."

Prince Chun Fujin smiled and said, "I'm talking about the heretics again, right?"

While speaking, she reported that Prince Jian’s concubine Yiergen Jueluo came to pay her birthday. Prince Jian’s concubine Guarjia had been bedridden for several months, so it was Prince Jian’s concubine Yiergen Jueluo who came out for socializing. She was in her thirties, with a kind face and a thick robe, which made her look a little rich. When she came in, she first celebrated Prince Chun’s concubine, and then asked Cao Jia with a smile.

Prince Chun gave up his seat and asked her, "Why, your grand concubine has not yet recovered? I was in a daze a few days ago and I heard it was going to be done!"

Irgen Jueluo's face looked worried: "It's a little better in the early September and I can go to the ground. But the weather has turned cold these two days, and I've been suffering from the wind and I've gotten new troubles."

Prince Chun sighed and said, "It's not a big deal for her to always be recurrent. You should also change a few doctors. Find folk prescriptions, and maybe it will work."

Irgen Jueluo nodded and said, "What the concubine said is right. She has found a lot of folk remedies and is eating them by example, but she has not yet achieved any results."

Prince Chun said, "Oh, I can't be impatient. But I see, you are wearing thick clothes now. Why, I'm not feeling well recently? The ginseng Guipi pill you asked for last time has been matched again recently, so I turned around and thought about taking some."

Irgen Jueluo said gratefully: "I am already very happy because my wife is thinking about it. My hands and feet are a little cold, so I changed into thick clothes early. The ginseng Guipi Pills you gave last time are still some at home, and it is enough to eat for a while. I will definitely come to you again after I don't have any less."

Prince Chun nodded with a smile: "Well. If you are gone, send someone to say, I will send it to you. I said you are too. Your eldest princess is already married, what else do you have to worry about? Let's keep it with peace of mind!"

Irgen Jueluo smiled and said a few more words of politeness, and stepped down to join the seat.

Prince Chun went to see her and couldn't help but sigh, "She was in good health, but she was not lucky. Forty-four, forty-five, forty-six, and three years, four children were broken, two and a half-sized princes. This heart-breaking and lung-damaging, her body was not done! There is no easier in this world than being a mother!" As she said that, she remembered her daughter who died prematurely, her eyes were slightly wet.

Several concubines and Cao Jia were sad when she heard her talk, and hurriedly advised her about the happy days, so why bother to mention those, and said that everyone has their own blessings.

Cao Jia smiled and said, "Last month, her eldest princess got married, and I went to watch the ceremony. Seeing that the eldest princess was extremely beautiful and her son-in-law was very good, isn't this also her blessing? And her sixth prince Yongxu, who is also well-behaved and clever, must have a future. It can be seen that if there is a blessing, God will make up for her."

Prince Chun nodded: "That's the most said!" He then turned his sadness away and talked about the marriage of Prince Jian's mansion.

Because Cao Jia's date of his sister's marriage was decided, but the brothers' date of marriage had not yet been believed, so he thought about asking the seventh prince what he meant. If it was next year, it would be okay, so he didn't have to worry. If it was done before the New Year, he would have to immediately calculate the days and prepare for the grand settlement. After thinking about it, Cao Jia's dated to introduce the happy event of Prince Jian's mansion and mentioned his own marriage.

After hearing this, Prince Chun smiled and said, "It was just a matter of discussion. Let me ask my prince to see what the prince means!" As he said that, he glanced at the biological mother of the big princess sitting on the ground, and had a bit of inquiries.
