822: Xiao Li's scheming
,!
This incident was like a huge rock thrown into the water, breaking the peace of the capital.
The Fourth Master and Wen Xin have not had a few leisurely days, and they are busy all of a sudden.
Wen Xin didn't remember this incident very much. After that, she tried hard to recall it but never remembered what happened in history.
However, judging from the stern eyes of the Fourth Master, this matter is probably a lot of involvement, and the meaning of his words is vaguely related to the Eighth Master.
Wen Xin suddenly remembered something. She remembered that the Eighth Master was later suspended from his salary. Could it be that this matter is related?
This person is so lingering. He is wherever there is something wrong.
It has reached this point, and the deposed prince is still trying to make a comeback. Wen Xin doesn't know what he thought.
However, after the Fourth Master came back, he mentioned to Warmth, probably the prince had already fallen for his sons, but he hoped that the children would still have a future.
But the prince doesn't know the warmth of his mind. If it's really for his sons, wouldn't it be the most effective way to guide Kangxi? You want to get involved in military power. Isn't this your own death?
If Wen Xin doesn’t understand, it doesn’t mean that the Fourth Master doesn’t understand.
As the emperor's body became weaker, he was now a one-man rule in politics. Now no one in the court dared to have any dissatisfaction with the emperor's will, and everyone shrank their necks to be a human being.
There is still a problem with the prince’s affairs, but Master Kong ordered the construction of Xiaotangshan Palace.
Wen Xin faintly smelled the smell of whitewashing and diverting everyone's sight. Sure enough, the construction of Xiaotangshan Palace broke out and the capital became lively again, as if Puqi had not had any incident before.
Longkodo came to see the Fourth Master more and more frequently, and the Fourth Master stayed in the study longer and longer, and Wen Xin felt even more uneasy.
The winter of this year was extremely tense, and even the curfew was slightly more than before.
Just after the New Year, before he took a breath, he got the news that the Eighth Master was angered by the Shengyan and was suspended from his salary.
The other big rock hanging above the head finally fell to the ground, and the warm heart became a little calmer.
This should be the follow-up to the prince incident, but it is certain that the deposed prince can no longer be involved. Moreover, Master Kang stayed until the New Year to deal with the eighth master with such an excuse. It seems that the eighth master has indeed reached out for Puqi's matter.
The Fourth Master has been in a good mood these days, and the construction of Xiaotangshan Palace is in full swing. He said to Wenxin: "When the weather is warmer, let's go to the village to stay for a few days."
I haven't been to the village for a long time. Wen Xin naturally missed the relaxing atmosphere in the village, so she agreed and asked with a smile: "Who are you taking?"
Listening to these jealous words, the Fourth Master looked at Wen Xin with a sneering smile. After so many years, the old couple has become an old man, and the jealous bottle will fall down just by saying that.
"If you don't take anyone else, we will go there."
Our family, Wen Xin liked these words, glanced at the Fourth Master, and then said, "The Third Prince and the Fourth Prince must bring them with you. The Fourth Prince and the Thirteenth Master are not in Beijing. Should they take their children over and play for a few days?"
If only she followed the Fourth Master, it would be much more conspicuous, but it would be much better to bring a group of children.
He paused again as he said, "The second prince has just gotten married. Should I take them there?"
The Fourth Master shook his head, "No."
I have to take my son and daughter-in-law to go to the village to Xiaoyao. What's the point?
After the New Year, the big princess and Fuyi came back to celebrate the New Year ceremony. After the Spring Festival, the Fourth Master beat Fuyi to Sichuan.
When I met my in-laws during the old New Year Festival, Wen Xin also received a lot of news. For example, Hou Lin did a good job in Sichuan, and Mrs. Hou was more respectful when she saw her than before.
The Fourth Master first sent a letter to the Thirteenth Master's Mansion, asking them to send their children to the imperial village, and then sent Hongshi, Hongzhou, Hongpei and Hongqi. When the children arrived at the village, the Fourth Master let the mansion know that he was going to take Concubine Wen to the village to live.
The mansion was shocked by the news. When I sent a few princes to the village, everyone vaguely guessed that the Fourth Master was going, but unexpectedly, the Fourth Master still only brought Concubine Wen.
Xiao Li also got the news and knew that Concubine Wen was favored, but she was a little surprised that the second prince didn't follow him, and she felt a little uneasy for a moment.
All other princes can go, why do you leave the second prince?
"Have you asked clearly?" Xiao Li looked at her close-fitting girl Xiuyun coming in, and hurriedly asked.
"Master, I've asked clearly. Master and Concubine Wen are coming up."
"The day after tomorrow?"
Xiao Li clamped his handkerchief tightly and was about to leave the next day. The second prince had not moved yet, so it was definitely a foregone conclusion that he could not go there.
She thought about it and said, "Give me a dressing, I'll pay my respects to my mother."
Xiu Yun hurriedly said, "Master, don't be impulsive. No one dares to say anything about the master's decision."
"I know." Xiao Li stood up, but his attitude was very firm. "The second prince is a good-tempered person and will definitely not ask, but as his wife, I always ask for something for him."
Li Xiao did not dare to ask about concubines and concubine Wen, so he could only go to concubine Li to beat and drum.
Her mother-in-law likes to play with airs, and it is best to fool her. It is easy to find out what she wants. As long as she is doing embroidery in front of her, everything else is easy to say.
Xiao Li changed his clothes and hurried to the east courtyard.
Li in the East Courtyard was also a little angry. This time, the Fourth Master did not take the Second Prince with her, which made her feel very surprised. But she didn't dare to go to the Fourth Master to ask clearly.
He was in the east courtyard and heard that Li Xiao was here. Li frowned and still asked someone to invite her in.
"My daughter-in-law greets my mother. Yesterday I heard that my mother was a little uncomfortable and had no appetite. Today I specially asked the kitchen to make steamed cheese with candy. Do you want to taste it?" Xiao Li opened the food box with his own hands, took out the colorful stew pot with a silver spoon, and put a small bowl in front of Li.
A faint fragrance spread across the nose. Even though Li had a stern face before, he couldn't put it on now. He said to Xiao Li, "Where are you doing this? Just sit down."
"The second brother always reminds his daughter-in-law to be filial to her mother, but she dare not slack off. Her mother has a bad appetite and can't do anything else, so she can still be attentive to a bowl of snacks."
Madam Qiao, who was beside her, glanced at the young lady and slowly lowered her head, making it difficult to see her face clearly.
Li took a few bites with a very pleasing bite, then put down the bowl and said to Xiao Li, "It tastes good, is Hongyun's health good?"
