Prince Heng [Qing wear]

Qianqing Palace.

Kangxi was reviewing the memorial with a vermilion pen, and the Maozi in the north was restless again, but everything was fine in the south, so it was a good choice to send Pai Shilang out.

"Long live." Liang Jiugong approached cautiously.

Kangxi didn't raise his head: "What's the matter?"

"The Yongshou Palace has come to report that the imperial concubine and empress have given birth to a tenth elder brother at three o'clock in the next year, and now both mother and child are safe."

"Well, I see." Kangxi's voice was neither happy nor angry.

What do you know, Liang Jiugong was wondering, if you want to go to the Yongshou Palace, then just say, you are still waiting there, don't be like the Yonghe Palace last time.

Kangxi didn't hear Liang Jiugong's voice, and only dealt with government affairs wholeheartedly.

Yongshou Palace.

"How, is there any news from Qianqing Palace?" The nun who was guarding outside the palace asked anxiously.

The little maid who delivered the news shook her head helplessly.

"Hey—" Mammy let out a long sigh.She walked towards the hall, and the imperial concubine was sleeping peacefully because she had exhausted her energy just after giving birth.Mammy couldn't help but sigh in her heart, the mother's life is suffering.

The imperial concubine Niu Hulu did not actually fall asleep. Although her body was extremely exhausted due to childbirth, her spirit was very clear.

She thought of her imperial concubine, which stated that she was "a noble family of nobles". She is the daughter of Ye Bilong, the Grand Master Guoyi, and the younger sister of Empress Xiaozhaoren. She has a prominent family background. reason.As for the others, they are just compliments, just to look good.

Back then when she entered the palace, although it was also because of the battle in the court, she also had the heart of a girl, hoping to find a good husband and be loved by all.But she didn't expect that after entering the palace, she would be greeted with a cold palace-like life, she was really tired from living.

My sister must have been very tired back then.The father straddled the wall between Oboi and the emperor, and they did not help each other.Like her, the older sister recognized Aobai as her adoptive father.Obai has dominated the government for many years, but the two sisters want to enter the palace to serve the emperor, presumably the elder sister was in the same dilemma as she was back then.Because of her father and adoptive father, her sister failed to become the queen, but with her own efforts, she won the trust of the emperor and succeeded in becoming the successor.

But in less than a year, my sister passed away. She didn't know the reasons for this period, but she must have breathed a sigh of relief when she left.She really wanted to leave, but now that she had a child, she had to hold on for a while longer for this child.

I'm so tired, I wish I could sleep all the time.

"The emperor is here!" The eunuch's loud voice woke her up.

"The servant kowtows to the emperor." Everyone in the hall knelt down and saluted.

The imperial concubine Niu Hulu was still lying on the bed, and the nurse hurried in to help her up.

Kangxi approached the bed, and gave Niu Hulu a faint look: "No need, you can continue to lie down and rest."

Niu Hulu continued to lie down: "Yes, my concubine, I would like to thank the emperor for his kindness and generosity."

Kangxi didn't pay much attention to the words of the noble concubine Niu Hulu, and ordered the nurse who was watching: "Bring out brother ten and show me."

"Yes." The wet nurse carried elder brother out.

Brother Ten is very small, very thin, like a black mouse, it seems that he will die in the next moment.

Kangxi looked at the child a little upset, and said sharply: "You take good care of elder brother, if elder brother Shi makes a mistake, be careful of your heads."

"Yes... yes..." Everyone agreed.

Kangxi looked at the emaciated face of the noble concubine, and said with concern: "You take a good rest, don't think too much. I have something to do, so I'm leaving first." After speaking, he shook his sleeves and left.

"The courtiers and concubines send the emperor respectfully." Niu Hulu fell on the bed and bowed to the bottom.

"Slaves are waiting to see you off to the emperor." Everyone in the palace said in unison.

After the emperor came and left in a hurry, the grandma next to Niu Hulu came forward to ask for food, and it was already Haishi.

Niu Hulu's voice was a bit sleepy: "You can do whatever you want. Let someone get some lighter ones and serve them."

As a result, the imperial concubine only drank a bowl of porridge hastily.

The nurse who took care of her was a little worried: "Your Majesty, please use another bowl of black chicken soup. You use so little, what if you hurt yourself?"

Niu Hulu was a little helpless: "Nurse, I know you are doing it for my own good, but I really have no appetite."

"Your Majesty, I know the pain in your heart, but for the sake of Elder Brother Shi, please use some more." Mammy picked up the bowl.The nanny watched Niu Hulu grow up, and she treated Niu Hulu like her own daughter.Seeing Niu Hulu's change from a young girl when she first entered the palace to a lifeless one now, the mother's heart hurts as if being dug out by a knife.

"Bring it here." Niu Hulu forced the soup into his mouth and spread it on the bed in a daze.She can't die yet, she still has ten elder brothers.

A month later, dry the palace.

"Report-"

"My Majesty, Shi Lang, Admiral of the Fujian Navy, defeated the Zheng's navy led by Liu Guoxuan in Penghu, Ming Zheng has surrendered." The young general said in a loud voice.

"Okay, okay, Shi Lang's merits are very great. If someone like Shi Lang has such a great honor, he will be ordered to hold the festival axe forever, and his glory will last forever!" Kangxi clapped his palms and laughed, "Give him the general of Jinghai and the title of Marquis of Jinghai. Wait When it comes back, let’s celebrate again.”

All the ministers in Qianqing Palace congratulated Kangxi one after another: "Congratulations to the emperor, you have expanded the territory and strengthened our Qing territory."

Kangxi laughed loudly: "Okay, okay."

Shang study.

"Yangui, I heard from the second brother that we won. Your grandfather is going back to Beijing, so please be happy." The fifth elder brother put his hand on Shi Yangui's shoulder.

"Yes. A letter from my family. After the family ancestor has finished handling the Fujian affairs, he will return to Beijing." Shi Yangui calmly stroked the hand on his shoulder.

"It's great, then your family can be reunited." The fifth elder brother put his hand on Shi Yangui's shoulder again, "The homeland was recovered, and Khan Ama took the second brother to Nanjing to sacrifice to Ming Xiaoling. They went out to play. If you don’t take me with you, I really want to get out of the Forbidden City to have a look, I’m going to be bored to death if I’m stuck in this small courtyard all day.”

Shi Yangui said indifferently: "Brother, this time it is a mausoleum sacrifice, which is different from usual."

The fifth elder brother pouted: "I know, I'm not stupid, so this time Khan Ama only brought the second elder brother! But I just want to go out and play."

Shi Yangui had no choice but to persuade: "Brother, you are still young, when you grow up, Long Live will naturally take Brother out."

The fifth elder brother looked up to the sky and imagined the future: "But it will take a long time until that time. When will I grow up? Reading, riding and shooting every day is really boring."

Shi Yangui raised his hand to rub Fifth Prince's head, thought for a while and then put his hand down: "How could it be? There is no limit to the sea of ​​books, except for the classics of sages, there are many interesting books in this world, just the history books of various dynasties No more than a thousand volumes. How can life be boring if you haven’t finished reading so many books? As for martial arts, if elder brother is in good health and good at riding and archery, the emperor will be more willing to take elder brother out.”

The fifth elder brother made a grimace at Shi Yangui: "Got it, Yangui. You really did your best. As a reading companion, if you disagree with me, just ask me to study."

"Brother, I..." Shi Yangui hastily opened his mouth to defend.

The fifth elder brother spoke first: "And Yangui, you said a lot today. You are also very happy to know that your family is coming back. Although I don't see any happiness on your face."

Shi Yangui raised the corner of his mouth: "Yes, you are right."

"Let's have a riding and archery lesson later. Let's compete. This time I will definitely beat you." The fifth elder brother pretended to be aggressive.

Shi Yangui cheered: "Okay. But last time I gave up my brother's hand, and my brother didn't win. Do you want to give up another hand this time?"

The fifth elder brother yelled: "Shi Yangui! You are too deceitful!"

Shi Yangui looked tolerant as an elder: "I am much older than my brother, so don't be discouraged if my brother loses. Just try to win against me in the future."

The fifth elder brother expressed dissatisfaction: "No way. Recently, I practiced hard with Wenda, and this time I will definitely beat you, Yangui."

Looking at the angry fifth elder brother, Shi Yangui smiled slightly: "Okay, then Yangui will wait and see."

Soon the lunch class was over, and after the snacks, it was time for the riding and archery class.

The main content of today's class is Buku, which has been taught before.So all the brothers and masters just repeat the technique again, and then let the brothers start practicing freely.

"Yangui, let's compete." Fifth elder brother was excited.

Shi Yangui nodded: "OK."

The two of you come and go, fighting together.Acting in twos, the two each looked for the other's flaws.In the end, Shi Yangui was slightly better, seized the opportunity, and pushed the fifth elder brother out of the circle.

"Brother, are you okay?" Shi Yangui stretched out his hand to the fifth elder brother who fell on the ground, and comforted him, "Sure enough, after three days of farewell, you should look at him with admiration. Brother, you have improved a lot. This time I used two Only one hand can defeat you."

The fifth elder brother took Shi Yanguila's hand towards him, and pulled him to the ground: "Are you making a mistake, Yangui? Are you and the second brother's words of comfort so hard to explain? Do you know what to do?" Comfort people!"

"Ah—so annoying." The fifth elder brother raised his head to the sky and screamed.

For a moment, everyone on the school grounds cast surprised glances at Fifth Prince.

The fifth elder brother was thick-skinned, his face was not red and his heart was not beating, he ran to the fourth elder brother's side: "Fourth elder brother, let's have a competition!"

The fourth elder brother had just finished a buku, and was sweating profusely from exhaustion.He knew that this kid had practiced every day recently and had made great progress. Now that he had just finished the competition and was at a disadvantage, he might not be able to beat the little calf in front of him.So he pointed at the third elder brother and said, "Your third elder brother is idle, Xiao Wu. Go find your third elder brother for a match first, and then compete with you after your fourth elder brother and I finish rest."

The fifth elder brother looked at the third elder brother, and sure enough, the third elder brother was swinging his braid leisurely.

"Third brother, let's compete." Xiao Wu ran to the third elder brother.

"Ah? Cough cough, Xiao Wu, I ate too much snacks today, and I'm feeling overwhelmed. Look, the elder brother is there. Be good, let's go and compete with your elder brother." He was so stupid that he competed with this little monster, Xiao Wu. Well, Shi Yangui is a general's son, and he is five years older than Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu can now draw with Shi Yangui. Does he compare himself with Xiao Wu to give food?After all, he is also an older brother, so he loses face if he loses.Xiao Si is a ghost spirit.

"Ah - big brother." The fifth elder brother was a little hesitant, the eldest brother was seven years older than him, and because of the second brother, he didn't know him very well.

The fifth elder brother walked up to the eldest elder brother eagerly, a little afraid to speak.

"Hey, your little ball was kicked to me. Why, want to make gestures with your elder brother and me?" The eldest brother rubbed the fifth elder brother's little head.

"Brother, please enlighten me." The fifth elder brother shook his head and firmly cupped his hands.

"Okay, come on." The elder brother adjusted his clothes with a serious expression.

The Buku of the two is pretty good, but everyone in the school field can see that the elder brother is deliberately letting the water go.After all, the elder brother is already twelve now, and in a few years there will be someone in the house, plus the elder brother is tall, he can be considered an adult in stature; as for the fifth elder brother, although he grows fast, he has already grown up. It is taller than the fourth elder brother, but compared with the eldest elder brother, it is far from enough.So in less than a quarter of an hour, Fifth Prince had already been thrown out of the circle.

"How about it, Little Five?" Big Brother dragged Fifth Brother up from the ground, "You are still too young, not half as tall as me! Big Brother waits for you to grow up a few more years, then come and compete with Big Brother."

"Well, thank you big brother." The fifth elder brother smiled sweetly at the eldest brother.

"My brother, you don't need to be so polite." These eyes are so clean, no wonder the prince is willing to play with this leather child.However, the elder brother sneered in his heart, hehe, it was also because Xiao Wu was the least threatening to him, after all Xiao Wu was raised by the Queen Mother.Aixinjueluo Yinfeng, you must think so.

At the end of today's practice, the fifth elder brother was carried back to elder brother's place by the eunuch.

"Ah! Mammy, please be gentle." The fifth elder brother lay on the bed and howled ghostly.

Mammy said sarcastically: "Brother, if you were afraid of pain, you wouldn't go overboard and compete with big brother. Why didn't you expect the result now?"

The fifth elder brother argued aggrievedly: "I didn't want to compare with the eldest brother from the beginning. Who knows that the third brother and the fourth brother are all trying to shirk, they put me on the stage, if I don't continue, where will I put this face ah!"

"So brother, you deserve the pain." Bai Momo applied the medicinal wine on the bruise and rubbed it vigorously, "Since you care about face, you deserve this pain. Brother, I'm a slave, and I'll be with you." Tell me a few words. You need to change your temperament, this time it is between brothers, when you grow up and leave the Forbidden City, do you still want to act impulsively?"

"Mommy, I know I'm wrong... ah--you should be gentle." The fifth elder brother wanted to cry but had no tears.

Elder brother's office, four elder brother's courtyard.

"I see that Xiao Wu was seriously injured by the elder brother today, has the wound medicine been delivered?" Si elder brother asked the mother beside him while flipping through the book in his hand.

"Fourth elder brother, don't worry, you will send it over as soon as you order." The eldest mother smiled, "Fifth elder brother has Baimao by her side. She was a pharmacist in the early years, and she is most proficient in these bruises. Don't worry, take a rest early, reading carefully at night hurts your eyes."

The fourth elder brother breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that Xiao Wu is fine. Mommy, I'll read two more pages of the book, you go down first."

Mammy persuaded helplessly; "Yes, you can stop after reading two more pages of the book."

The fourth elder brother promised earnestly: "Understood—Nurse, don't worry, I have a sense of proportion."

Sure enough, within a quarter of an hour, the lights in the room were turned off.

The author has something to say:
