In addition to the Thirteenth Prince, there was also the Seventeenth Prince, but it was a happy event on his side. The daughter of the Minister of Guards, Aling, was accused of being the legitimate wife of the Seventeenth Prince. Niuhulu was the niece of the late queen and the cousin of the Tenth Prince. He was prominent in his family and noble in his family.

This marriage was unexpected to everyone. Because the seventeenth prince's biological mother is low and there are previous rumors. Although he is not in the cold palace, he has been recuperating.

Among the more than ten princes, except for the tenth prince whose father-in-law is the prince's prince and the eighth prince whose father-in-law is the princess's princess, the seventeenth prince's father-in-law is the most noble.

The formal order for marriage was not yet issued, and Prince Ping, Nersu, was the only one who heard the news today. After returning to the mansion, Cao Yong happened to be here, so he told him.

Cao Jia wanted to keep his brothers for dinner, so he asked them to speak first, and went to arrange food himself.

A Linga is also a famous "Eighth Master Party". She recommended the Eighth Prince as the crown prince with Ma Qi, Wen and Wu, but now she has become the father-in-law of the Seventeenth Prince. Cao Yong is a little confused. Why do you remember that this little Seventeenth Prince should be the fourth brother?

After hearing Cao Yong's explanation, he went to the Ministry of Revenue to receive the receipt and set off from Beijing. Naersu thought for a while, nodded and said, "It's better to leave early. The limelight in the capital has been wrong recently! The emperor seemed really annoyed. The ministers and guards in the escort were checking one by one, and I don't know how many people wanted to take off their top clothes!"

Speaking of this, he couldn't help laughing and said to Cao Yong: "This time, I'm afraid someone will shoot himself in the foot! Is it because of the throne of the fifty years that Emperor Long Sui has been in vain? Even if he wants to plot against the prince, this method is too reckless, and he is afraid that both sides will suffer losses!"

Cao Yong saw his brother-in-law's expression full of watching the show, and was afraid that he would be involved. After all, Prince Ping's Mansion and Prince Kang's Mansion, Shuncheng Mansion, belong to Prince Li Daishan, and are very important in the royal family. Therefore, he couldn't help but persuade him. Although he did not mention the Eighth Prince and others by name, he also said that the power changes in the capital in recent years were all surrounded by the word "striving the throne".

Although Nersu knew that his brother-in-law was a little mature, he always regarded him as a younger brother. Now, when he heard him talk about these things seriously, he was a little reminded by his elders in a trance. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Brother Yong, brother-in-law, you are four years older than you, and you are not a child. Do you still need such instructions? So, the prince, others want to flatter you, what's the point of brother-in-law? With the iron hat passed down by our ancestors, even if you have the iron hat, you will only make a false reputation. What's the point of trying to do? If you have that skill, it's better to read two military books well, and wait until you have the opportunity to go to the battlefield in the future, and use real kung fu to open up the territory and promote the heroic spirit of my Manchu man!"

In the end, Nersu's face was filled with indescribable excitement. Cao Yong was not unfamiliar with this look. Cao Song and Hongshu mentioned that they would make achievements in the future, and that was the same look. Even Yongqing, since he was a teenager, was also thinking about making military achievements.

On the battlefield, Cao Yong was a little embarrassed. It seemed that among the young people he knew, he and the Sixteenth Prince were not interested in these things. Is it because he lacked the blood of men?

Inside Andingmen, Prince Yong’s mansion, front yard study room.

There was only a few sandalwood in the room. The fourth prince was holding a string of hand beads in his hand, and he was still stern in his face as usual. He heard the two sticky guards report Cao Yong’s whereabouts today.

The guard of the stick guard is the servant of the royal palace, and now serves as the eyes and ears of Prince Yong's mansion. The stick guard was found here when it was still the Beile Mansion. It was just in the early autumn of summer and several eunuchs who worked specifically to work were busy catching cicadas on the trees.

After the 48th year of Kangxi, the prince was deposed and restored, and the fourth prince was promoted from "Dorobelle" to "Prince Heshuoyong", he became more cautious in his actions. The situation in the capital was turbulent. In order to protect himself, even if he wanted to live a peaceful life, he could not be confused and became a confused prince.

After listening to the advice of his disciples, the Fourth Prince asked the sticker to expand some people, most of whom were the prince's servants, who were used as the eyes and ears of the prince's palace and pay attention to the movements of other prince's palaces in the capital.

First, he left the city to see off his brothers, then returned to the mansion to change his clothes and went to the Ministry of Revenue. Then he went out of the palace, the residence of the Thirteenth Prince, the residence of the Pingjun Prince, and the second day of the Youth Day (5:30 pm).

The Fourth Prince listened and looked at his confidant Dai Jin. Although the undercurrent in the capital is surging, Prince Yong's mansion cannot be spared and pay attention to the situation in various parties, but sending people to investigate Cao Yong's whereabouts throughout the day is not because of the Fourth Prince's original intention, but Dai Jin's suggestion.

Dai Jin pondered for a while and said to the Fourth Prince: "It has been five days since Cao Yong entered the capital. The letter of greeting to Emperor Long Sui has been handed over for three or four days, but there is still no news of summoning from him! Master, this is a bit unusual! According to the many graces he had given to the Cao family before, it was his first time to leave the place, and there was no reason for him to be missing!"

"Oh!" The fourth prince's eyes were a little deeper, and he asked, "What do you mean is that you agree with what Fu Ding said?"

Dai Jin nodded and said, "Reply to my master's words, this is what the slave is about! It was well known to everyone that the Cao family was prominent in Jiangnan in the early years, and the King of Long Sui also knew the grace of the Cao family. If you don't pay attention, you just think that King of Long Sui is nostalgic. Because of the love of the "Saint Madam" in his early years, he treated his descendants with kindness. However, as Master Fu said, this grace for the Cao Yin family seemed to be a little more serious!"

The fourth prince frowned slightly as he heard this. He had a good impression of Cao Yong in his heart and was unwilling to involve him in these messy relationships.

"What news is coming back from Suzhou? What was unusual about Gao and Li in their early years?" The fourth prince thought for a while and asked.

Dai Jin replied: "Master, there is no news in Suzhou yet. It's just that when I checked the three families of Jiangnan, Li and Sun, there were some news that Jiangning had not paid attention to before, but now it seems that it is worth pondering!"

Seeing that the fourth prince looked at him, he did not keep it a secret and continued, "At the beginning of the 33rd year of Kangxi, a nanny in the capital went to Jiangning to take care of the unborn Li family. After a detailed investigation recently, these nanny were old people from Prince Yu's mansion!"

Although the fourth prince did not change his expression, he was very surprised. The owner of Prince Yu's mansion was his uncle Fuquan.

Local officials, not to mention a weaving doctor in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, even the governor of the government, did not make the capital to send people to take care of their wives and concubines. However, I had never heard of any personal relationships between Prince Yu's mansion and the Cao family before. What is the secret behind this?

Is it true that as Fu Ding guessed, the Li family was born into a royal family and was so unique to Cao Yin's house?

Dai Jin said, "Prince, even if Lord Fu guessed it wrong, it won't be in trouble! Cao Yin is old, Cao Yong is the eldest son and the head of the Cao family. Even the Li family and Sun family will probably take the Cao family as the leader in the future. Cao Yong himself is also the younger brother of the prince's wife of Pingjun and the eldest prince of the prince Chun. If he is facing the prince's side, he might be able to borrow great power in the future!"

Although the Fourth Prince knew that Dai Jin was planning for himself, he felt very uncomfortable in his heart to plot against others like this and couldn't help but snort coldly.

A few days ago, Dai Jin's younger brother and the fourth prince's disciple Dai Duo sent someone to send a secret letter, which was nothing more than just a matter of the prince being deposed again and he advised his master.

Now that the throne has not been determined, the kings each have the intention of not standing together, and the emperor is a natural resource and is a master who is not born in the world. It is precisely because "It is easy to deal with the father and son of a mediocre person, but difficult to deal with the father and son of a wise father and son; it is easy to deal with the brothers and feet of a lonely person and a widow, but difficult to deal with the brothers and feet of a large number of hands and feet. Why? It is a wise father and son who do not show their strengths, fear that they will abandon them, and fear that they will show their strengths, and fear that they will doubt them. This is why they are in a difficult situation."

Although the Fourth Prince mentioned in his reply that the position above was a "great suffering" and that he "can't avoid it, but there is still a hope." There is no disaster or good fortune, the monarch and ministers' interests, and the times of lifelong honor and disgrace are not here. However, he himself cannot explain clearly whether he is moved or not.

Seeing that the Fourth Prince looked ugly, Dai Jin knew that he valued Cao Yong quite seriously. He said so bluntly that the master couldn't stand it.

He moved his heart and stopped talking about anything else, only asked about the birthday party arrangements in the mansion tomorrow. Even though he should avoid suspicion at the moment, if it is too abnormal, it will attract attention. It would be better to follow the examples of previous years, watching the show and eating wine, and it would seem to be at ease and calm and have no other intentions.

The Fourth Prince has always been a low-key person. Hearing Dai Jin's arrangements were appropriate, he nodded and agreed.

Seeing that his expression was relaxed, Dai Jin asked again whether he would send a supplementary invitation to the Cao family. The previous guest posts had been drafted a long time ago and were delivered to various prefectures ten days ago.

The fourth prince pondered for a moment, waved his hand, and said, "Forget it! He was in the mourning and was not suitable for the banquet. It was this time again! If the emperor did not see him, it was to protect him; then what could I do with me?" Speaking of this, he looked at Dai Jin and said, "No need to check whether it is the Li family in Suzhou or the Jiangning Weaver Mansion! If he is a person who can be won over, the Ba and the others will let him go? I know what Cao Yong is doing, so there is no need to add anything to it!"

Dai Jin wanted to persuade him again, but the fourth prince had already stood up and said, "No need to say much. I know that your brothers have always been loyal, but I only want to protect myself. If I really have that intention, I would not do this! In the future, this kind of "heart-killing" statement should not be mentioned; in daily life, you should not act rashly!" After that, he left the study room and went back to the inner courtyard.

Dai Jin bowed his head and gave the Fourth Prince a respectful look, but sighed in his heart: "Master, Master, if you really don't have that mind, why have you been worshiping Buddha a lot more recently? If you are not confused, then what are you praying in front of the Buddha?"

Yizhou, Taotai Yamen, inner courtyard upper room, west warm pavilion.

Tianyou finished breastfeeding in his mother's arms and yawned, looking sleepy. Chu Yu saw his son's appearance so popular, and couldn't help but kiss his little face a few times.

Madam Ye was beside him, looking at Chu Yu's slightly thin face, and said, "Prince, let the old slave take the little master to the east house to settle it! These days, the princess has been cleared a lot, and her face looks bad, so she always needs to adjust it!"

Chu Yu touched his face and left this little guy in the house recently, sleeping restlessly every night and his chin was sharp. Although he slept less recently and felt tired, he still felt a little reluctant to leave when looking at his son in his arms.

When Madam Ye saw this, she continued to advise: "Even if the princess doesn't care about her body, she should think about the other side of the prince. The princess has been there for half a month, and maybe she will be back in the past few days. Seeing that the princess is so haggard, isn't it because she feels so distressed? Besides, she just went to the east room, just to let the princess rest for a few days and raise her spirits!"

Chu Yu thought about repeatedly reminding her husband before leaving, asking him to take good care of himself and take good care of himself, and now it seems that he has not done so.

After hesitating for a while, Chu Yu put his son in Madam Ye's arms and watched her holding her son and put him in the east room.

Chu Yu got off the kang, put on a cloak, walked out of the warm pavilion, and walked to the corridor. Perhaps because of the cloudy day, there were no stars in the sky, and snowflakes were floating. She stretched out her hand and took a few pieces, but she didn't know where she was going.

This is the first snow this winter. I wonder what the weather is in the capital? The prince was in a hurry and only wrapped a few small sweaters, and he didn't bring a single big sweater. This trip to the capital and Shandong was thousands of miles away. It would be better if it was sunny. If it was windy and snowy, it would be the first nine. It was cold and freezing. It was really hard to travel around.

Xiyun and Xicai laid a quilt in the room. Seeing that the master was not coming back yet, they came out and saw that they were standing at the door. They hurriedly persuaded them to go back to the room. Although they were out of confinement, they were not good to breathe in the door like this. What if they were as many old ladies said, leaving a headache?

Chu Yu and they grew up together since childhood. They knew that they were really good for themselves. They were not annoyed and went back to the house with a smile.

The house here was specially renovated by Cao Yong, using geothermal heat. In addition to the northern kang, the ground paved with bluestone is also hot.

Cao Yong was not here for half a month, and Xiyun was at night in the house, serving Chu Yu and Xiao Tianyou.

Because he had just seen the cold wind and entered the room, Chu Yu couldn't help but sneeze. When Xiyun saw it, she poured a cup of hot tea and delivered it to Chu Yu. She said with a little concern: "Prince, is it over the air conditioner? Or do I ask someone to order the kitchen to make a bowl of ginger soup! It's not a joke!"

Chu Yu took two sips of hot tea and felt much more comfortable. He shook his head and said, "What are they doing in the middle of the night? It's okay. I just looked at the snowflakes and picked them up for a while, and it got a little cold!"

Xicai brought hot water and served Chu Yu to comb. Because the filial piety period was not over, there were no hairpin, rings and ornaments on his body, which was a waste of time.

When Chu Yu got on the kang and entered the quilt, Xi Cai took out the water. Xi Yun went to tuck the cotton curtains in the warm pavilion and checked the windows. Fang turned around and said to Chu Yu, "Prince, do you want to rest?"

Hearing Chu Yu's response, Xiyun extinguished the candles and groped back to his bed.

She just lie down in the quilt, and then Chu Yu said, "I wonder if the prince has rested?"

Xiyun has been serving Chu Yu for more than ten years, and she has no taboos in private. She can't help but smile and joke: "Is the princess who want to be the prince?"

"Yeah!" Chu Yu replied: "I've been there for more than half a month, and there is no one to take care of me, and I don't know if I'm used to it!"

Xiyun smiled and said, "The princess is really, I'm so worried! The prince is not a child. There are still seventy or eighty people in the capital. How could the prince suffer?" When he said this, he felt something was wrong and couldn't help but think about it.

The prince returned to the mansion and designated to go back to the Wutong Garden in the main courtyard. In the Wutong Garden, Xiyu and Xixue are now keeping to take care of the house. If something happens, it will be really annoying.

Thinking of this, Xiyun was a little worried and wanted to remind Princess of this matter, but she was afraid that she would be worried and annoyed. If she was suspicious and affected the relationship between Princess and the prince, wouldn’t she become a sinner?

Although he looked down on Xiyu from the bottom of his heart, Xiyun had to admit that Xiyu had a good appearance. Whether at the Prince Chun's Mansion or the Cao family, Xiyu's appearance was outstanding.

Thinking of this, Xiyun couldn't help but complain that Wang Fujin had arranged such a woman to accompany her dowry. Isn't this sending the husband to the house?

Chu Yu was on the kang and said, "You don't know that the prince looks calm and sometimes looks like a child. He is very picky about food. Even if he sits and lies on a lie and gets up, he needs people to worry about it!"

Xiyun listened to Chu Yu's words full of concern, thinking about the feelings between the two masters, felt relieved and smiled: "Well, I don't know, it's enough to have a princess alone to worry about it! Even so, princess is generous. In the future, there will be seventy or eighty years of heart to worry about!"

Chu Yu also smiled and said, "In the past few years, my husband has been polite to me. In the future, it will be my turn to polite to him!"

Beijing, Xicheng, Cao Mansion, Wutong Garden.

After Cao Yong finished washing up, he lay on the kang, but he tossed and turned, and his mind was a little confused. The biggest mystery was who planned to plot against the prince? Is it the same person who framed Ning Chun's family?
