Comprehensive Qing wear good luck

Chapter 130 4 Master's Backyard is involved in the daily life 55

"My ninth brother came to see me today, and I heard that my ninth brother's sister-in-law came to see you today."

"The two of them are making a fuss again. What do you think Ninth Brother means? They don't interfere with each other, so why did Ninth Brother think of asking Ninth Brother's wife to manage the household for him?"

Yinzhen chuckled: "He regrets it now and wants to live a good life with his ninth brother's wife."

Le Shu sneered: "It's not that easy. The relationship between the two of them was not that bad in the beginning. He hurt my ninth brother's wife so much. Why should I forgive him just because he regrets it? His method is so clumsy."

I regretted letting her be the housekeeper. What kind of logic is this?

Ability is ability, character is character. Le Shu admires Lao Jiu's ability, but she doesn't think much of his character, especially his attitude towards women.

Yinzhen had no interest in interfering in other people's marital relationships, so he just said a few words and then stopped.

This is also a great pleasure for the couple.

There are people behind the scenes, but it’s all private and will never be spread out or recorded.

Le Shu will ensure that she will not let the Ninth Brother bully the Ninth Lady. As for the final outcome of the two, she will not interfere. Love is like drinking water, only the person who drinks it knows whether it is hot or cold. If outsiders interfere, they will easily be in trouble. She will just be a listener.

-

Kangxi passed away in the 15th year of Yongzheng's reign, living a few years longer than historically recorded.

After the funeral, Yinzhen recovered from his depression after two days.

Uya went from being the Empress Dowager to the Queen Mother, and then she started to act like a demon.

She was not happy living in Changchun Garden and planned to return to the palace to live in Cining Palace.

The Cining Palace had been uninhabited since the death of Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, so it was inevitable that it had fallen into disrepair. Logically, it would have been fine for her to move in, but she had many demands, and asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to carry out large-scale renovations of the Cining Palace.

How can I explain this kind of thing!

If she had a good relationship with Yinzhen, she would have repaired it, but their relationship was just average!

Yinzhen and Le Shu were not short of money, but Shoukang Palace was also very good and they could move in directly. However, the couple were not very happy about spending money for her to renovate Cining Palace.

In Shoukang Palace, Le Shu came to pay her respects to Wu Ya.

"Greetings to the Empress Dowager, may the Empress Dowager be blessed with good health and happiness."

"Here you go, sit down!"

Wu Ya also knew that she couldn't be controlled by the rules, so she didn't intend to torture her any further and asked her to sit down neatly.

"How is the renovation of Cining Palace going?"

Le Shu looked embarrassed: "In order to express gratitude to Empress Xiaozhuang Wen for her merits, the Emperor left the Cining Palace untouched for many years. I didn't expect that the Empress Dowager would come back and live in the Cining Palace. I'm afraid it will take a lot of work to renovate it. It may not be completed in a short time. The Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Works are all very busy."

The Qing Dynasty is most in need of people now. It is possible to renovate the Cining Palace, but it is unnecessary.

The concubines in Kangxi's harem who had children, as long as the children were still alive, lived with their children in the prince's palace, the Beile's palace or the princess's palace. Those who did not have children mostly lived in Changchun Garden and were reluctant to return.

There are not many places for the concubine to live in the palace, and Changchun Garden is spacious and comfortable.

It can be said that now only Uya lives in Shoukang Palace.

Yinzhen was frugal and was really not willing to build the Cining Palace at this critical juncture.

He couldn't be impatient even though his Old Summer Palace had not been completely completed. Uya, his heartless mother, only made him angry.

Wu Yashi: "Are you too busy or are you too unfilial to do the repairs for me?"

Le Shu looked terrified and pretended: "How can the Empress Dowager say this about her daughter-in-law and the Emperor? Heaven and earth can bear witness to the filial piety of the daughter-in-law and the Emperor to the Empress Dowager!"

Wu Ya snorted coldly: "Why don't you build the Cining Palace? I am the empress dowager, the emperor's mother, and I can't live in the Cining Palace even if I want to. What's the logic?"

Le Shu: "My Queen Mother, I have explained that both the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Works are very busy. If you don't believe me, you can call the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to question me. I dare not lie to you, Queen Mother."

The Imperial Household Department and the Ministry of Works now only agree with them. As for the Empress Dowager, she is a queen dowager who favors her youngest son. If they side with her, wouldn’t that be going against the Emperor?

They can clearly distinguish what is right from wrong, what is important and what is not.

Wu Ya was making a fuss and Le Shu was practicing Tai Chi. When she returned to Yongshou Palace from Shoukang Palace, her face was still gloomy.

"Thank you for your hard work at the Empress Dowager's place. You don't have to go there tomorrow."

Le Shu looked up at him: "What do you mean? No, what did you do?"

"Since the Empress Dowager likes to live in the palace, let her live there. The Old Summer Palace has been renovated a lot, so we will go to live there. As for the Cining Palace, let the Fourteenth Prince repair it. In order to facilitate the Empress Dowager's communication with the Fourteenth Prince, the Empress Dowager will stay in the palace for the time being."

It’s better not to go to the Old Summer Palace.

"Fourteenth brother? I'm afraid he can't do it!"

Kangxi abdicated early, and there was no room for the Fourteenth Prince to display his abilities in the court. His abilities were all in riding, shooting and martial arts. These were trivial things involving many links, and if one was not careful one could easily fall into traps, which required considerable experience.

"It would be better if it doesn't work." Yinzhen replied with a smile.

Le Shu also smiled: "Your Majesty is wise."

She was not willing to serve a trouble-making mother-in-law, and it was enough for her to endure the anger once.

Yinzhen couldn't bear to see her suffer, so he came to Yongshou Palace early and told her the solution.

The two of them were very active. In Prince Xun's Mansion, which had been idle for a long time, the fourteenth prince received an imperial edict to build the Cining Palace for his biological mother.

In Shoukang Palace, Uya received the news and thought of her youngest son whom she had not seen for a long time.

"What is the fourth brother going to do?"

"My queen, the emperor is your own son. There is no need for you to be tough with him."

The nanny really felt that there was no need for her to do this. Although the emperor was not very filial, Uya had everything that an empress dowager should have. The emperor was the emperor, not just a son, and it was impossible for him to do everything according to the empress dowager's wishes.

"Shut up, I just want a Cining Palace, but he refused. What an ungrateful bastard."

"My lady, walls have ears."

Be careful with your words! The emperor will not kill my mother, but my life is worthless!

How could Uya care about this? She was no longer normal.

With the death of Emperor Kangxi, the dark cloud hanging over her head disappeared. She had been suppressed all her life and had to play the role of a gentle and considerate concubine. Now, she was old and could not continue playing that role, and she felt there was no need to do so.

No matter what Uya and the Fourteenth Prince thought or said, Yinzhen and Le Shu were already in the Old Summer Palace.

"Hongxu is not young anymore, it's time to consider who to marry. I want to choose a Han Chinese wife for him."

Le Shu had no objection to this: "It is indeed time to choose a Han Chinese."

She was prepared for this. The Manchus and the Han people did not intermarry, so it was hard to say who would suffer more.

In today's Qing Dynasty, the next empress needs to be a Han Chinese, and Hongxu's future successor should also have Han Chinese ancestry, not a Han military flag, which does not require a flag-raising ancestry.

"Do you have any candidates?"

"We are still selecting. There are many Han officials and noble ladies in the women's courtyard. If you like any of them, it would be great to choose from them."

When Le Shu heard this, a face appeared in her mind: Zhang Ruoqing, the granddaughter of Zhang Ying, the niece of Zhang Tingyu, a member of the Zhang family, and very knowledgeable.

She studied in a women's college, was born into a legitimate family, had outstanding looks and talents, and I have met her. Her character seems to be fine. The most important point is that, as a Han woman, she did not bind her feet. Le Shu needed a Han woman daughter-in-law who did not bind her feet to serve as a role model.

She wanted to abolish the bad custom of foot binding and the chastity arches.
