Comprehensive Qing wear good luck

Chapter 131 4 Master's Backyard is involved in the daily life 56

"Zhang Ruoqing, I quite like that child. You can observe him for two more years."

As for whether it is good or not, and whether it is suitable for the two children, we will have to wait and see.

Just because she likes it doesn't mean Yinzhen thinks it's appropriate. Even if they think they like it and think it's appropriate, Hongxu may not be able to accept it.

Hongxu knew his responsibilities. Although he had not officially attended court in recent years, Yinzhen and Le Shu had never been reluctant to train his abilities in private, and he had indeed lived up to their expectations.

Ke Leshu was still greedy and wanted him to live in harmony with his future wife.

"Zhang? What's the relationship with Zhang Tingyu?"

"It's her niece."

Zhang Tingyu had a good reputation among officials and came from a scholarly family. Yinzhen had no doubt about his family's education. In fact, Yinzhen admired the way these scholarly families educated their girls.

"I'll send someone to check it out."

He had no problem with the Zhang family's upbringing. His main purpose was to find out whether the girl had a lover or not. Although the possibility was not high, it was just in case. In addition, Yinzhen wanted to know what kind of character the girl had.

For a person, ability is one aspect, character is one aspect, and mind is another aspect. All three are very important.

Hongxu's future wife will be the next empress of the Qing Dynasty. This represents a lot of political significance and cannot be taken lightly at all.

Three months later.

The Cining Palace was still under renovation, and Fourteenth was almost going crazy. The funds allocated by the Ministry of Internal Affairs were not enough, but he could not explain how the money was spent or where it was spent.

But he couldn't just give up.

Logically, Yinzhen was the monarch and he was the minister, and the tasks assigned by the monarch to the minister must be completed by all means.

In terms of emotion, the Queen Mother is his mother. If he gave up halfway in renovating her residence, it would be considered unfilial, and he could not bear such a reputation.

dilemma.

So he went to Shoukang Palace.

The Queen Mother looked at her haggard and exhausted little son with a look of heartache: "But he is sick, why does he look so bad?"

Fourteen shook his head: "I am not ill, Queen Mother, I have something to tell you."

The Queen Mother waved her hand and everyone in the room left.

The Queen Mother looked concerned: "But has anyone bullied my son?"

Hearing this, Fourteen could no longer hold back his grievances and said, "Mother, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has betrayed me. I'm afraid I can't fix the Cining Palace."

The Queen Mother was stunned: "What's going on?"

Although she has now been promoted to the empress dowager, her network of contacts is not as good as when she was the Defei. There are many things that she cannot know as long as Yinzhen and Le Shu do not want her to know.

Even though the Cining Palace is very close to the Shoukang Palace, the Empress Dowager was unaware of the progress of the renovation.

It's ironic that the Queen Mother was not as good as the Concubine.

Fourteenth Prince explained, and after listening to it, the Empress Dowager immediately realized that he had been tricked by Yinzhen. Under Yinzhen's rectification, the Imperial Household Department would not dare to embezzle so blatantly. It was just because the higher-ups had given the order.

All the connections of Wu Ya's family in the Ministry of Internal Affairs were wiped out, so even if she was the empress dowager, she could not help him at all.

The only way to save the youngest son was to give up renovating the Cining Palace.

After figuring this out, the Queen Mother couldn't help but said directly: "I should have drowned him in the beginning, what an ungrateful bastard. I really regret giving birth to him..."

Fourteenth listened to her complaints and resentment but did not say anything to stop her. He also disliked Yinzhen. This dislike was very complicated and mixed with inferiority. The only person who could compare to him was his mother who loved him.

When he was a child, he enjoyed his mother's favoritism. He liked to see Yinzhen endure his pain and long for his mother's love but not getting it.

Now that Yinzhen no longer had any desire, he discovered that he no longer had any weapon that could hurt him. Hearing these complaints, he felt better.

"Mother, what should I do?"

The Queen Mother was silent for a moment. She was reluctant to part with her youngest son. "It's good for me to live in Shoukang Palace. There's no need to repair Cining Palace."

At this moment, she deeply felt that Yinzhen really no longer longed for her love. He was an emperor with absolute power. The emperor could not do anything he did not want to do, even if the empress dowager forced him.

It was like going back many years ago, when she was "driven out" from Chengqian Palace after giving birth to Yinzhen and could not raise her son. That was the time when she was most helpless and humble.

Because of Kangxi's words, her son couldn't even see him.

It seems that the few moments of helplessness that left the deepest impression on her in her life were all related to Yinzhen, so she disliked him and ignored him.

Fourteen: "I, your son, thank you, Empress Dowager."

The Queen Mother looked at him with complicated eyes. Even though she was unwilling to admit it, she had to admit that the younger son she favored was not as capable as her older son.

After Fourteen left, the Queen Mother fell ill.

The conversation between mother and son in Shoukang Palace was presented on Yinzhen's desk that evening.

Looking at those resentful words, Yinzhen's expression remained calm, he had truly let it go.

Le Shu also saw it: "If you don't want to watch it, then don't watch it."

"It's really not pretty, but it doesn't hurt to take a look. It's just like those memorials to pay respects. It's just a waste of time. You know, if I had heard these words in my previous life, I would probably posthumously confer the title of Empress Dowager on Empress Xiaoyiren. Even if this goes against my political plan, I would do it. But now I just feel calm and don't want to do anything."

Le Shu couldn't help but hugged him: "Not all parents are qualified."

Yinzhen hugged her back and said, "I'm really glad you're here. It's really good to have you around."

Like the clear morning after waking up from a dreamless night in spring, peaceful, satisfied and extremely happy.

The results of the investigation on Zhang Ruoqing have also come out. How to say it, she is a very smart girl. Even Yinzhen can't say anything bad about her. There is no childhood sweetheart relationship between them. Overall, Yinzhen is very satisfied.

So Yinzhen and Le Shu called Hongxu over and gave him Zhang Ruoqing's information.

"What do the Emperor and Empress mean?"

Yinzhen: "This girl is Han Chinese. Your Royal Mother and I want you to get to know her."

Hongxu: "You mean she will be your son's future wife?"

Le Shu smiled and said, "That's not necessarily the case. What if you don't like her, or she doesn't like you? Even if we think she's good, it's useless. We just let you get to know her for a while. If you really don't like her, we can just change her."

Hongxu: "Son, I understand."

Yinzhen looked at his young face and said, "Don't you want to know why I chose a Han woman as your wife?"

She is a Han woman, not a Han army flag.

Hongxu: "The Emperor and Empress are far-sighted. The Manchus and the Han are one family. The Emperor wants to abolish the rule that the Manchus and the Han cannot intermarry."

Upon hearing this, Yinzhen looked at him with a bit of pride. He was very outstanding.

Yinzhen: "It's good that you understand. You can choose a girl from the Zhang family. It's related to Zhang Tingyu. It doesn't matter if it's someone else. There is only one thing: the girl you choose cannot have bound feet."

The Han people were afraid of being killed in the past, so they bound their feet and left their hair. The Manchus could not force them too harshly, so they allowed Han women to bind their feet. Hongxu looked at Le Shu and guessed that this was probably her idea.

"Thank you, my son, for your kindness, my father and my mother."

He was given the right to choose as much as possible, even if it was a limited choice. He grew up in love and care, and even though he was not yet twenty years old, he was mature and steady, and was no less than anyone else.
