Prince Heng [Qing wear]

On December [-]th, the emperor finally returned to the palace from Zhengyangmen in the capital.

At first, everyone thought that the emperor was going to celebrate the New Year in Jiangnan, so they couldn't cheer up.Now that the emperor has returned to the Forbidden City, this new year has suddenly become lively.

Ask the fifth elder brother to tell me what is the difference between this year's Chinese New Year and previous years: probably the ceremony is more cumbersome. In addition to offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, Khan Ama now also worships Confucius. In contrast, his knees are more swollen. .In addition, at this year's banquet, Khan Ama announced the cancellation of the big dishes such as whole roasted lamb and roast meat that need to be cut with a knife, and all dishes are closer to Chinese.As a result, the palace banquet, which was almost only left with steamed bowls and stewed dishes, became even more unpalatable, and the atmosphere became more serious.

Yikun Palace.

"Your Majesty, this servant has prepared a medicinal soup, so you can go to bed after soaking your feet." The grandma next to Concubine Yi ordered someone to bring the medicinal soup into the room.

Concubine Yi gently smiled softly: "Okay, thank you for your hard work, mammy."

"Where does the servant dare to say what hard work? Your mother is very lucky. Although the elder brother who gave birth is not as many as the masters of other palaces, the fifth elder brother and ninth elder brother are now standing firmly and healthy. Unlike other masters, blessings It's coming, but I can't bear it. The baby you are pregnant with now, Madam, will be safe and sound." The mother comforted.

"Then I'll take Mammy's advice." Indeed, although her pregnancies were not as many as others, her children were all healthy.Coupled with the fact that Wanzai has to visit her from time to time, she should be at ease.

"The maidservant asked the small kitchen to stew wolfberry and black-bone chicken soup, the empress should also drink a bowl." The mammy carefully handed the bowl to Concubine Yi.

"Okay. I tasted today's black-bone chicken soup. It's not as greasy as before. It's refreshing and refreshing, which makes people feel comfortable." After drinking this bowl of soup, her feet were soaked in the hot medicine soup again, Yifei felt The whole person came alive.

"It's Liu Gege's idea. She heard that the mother has been losing her appetite for the past few days, so she asked people to try to use winter melon to remove the oil and tangerine peel. The eunuchs of Yikun Palace made it up for themselves, no outsiders participated." Mammy quickly explained.

Concubine Yi ordered: "Okay, I know, I believe in Mammy's loyalty, so you don't have to be so nervous. That kid Liugege really worked hard thinking about these things. You give me the emperor's southern tour last time." Find out the pair of hair and hats you brought, and add a few boxes of good clothes and send them over, thank you for the child's hard work."

"Yes, the servant will do it later. Madam, let the servant wait for you to wash up."

Concubine Yi nodded.

Rows of little maids moved gently.

When the May Festival came, Kangxi ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to reward the ministers of the fourth grade and above and their families with zongzi, calamus and other things.After the rice dumplings are eaten and the calamus is planted, it is time for the ministers to roll around to deal with official duties.There are no holidays, no holidays in this life.

"Yangui, it turns out that you also brought colorful rice dumplings and a sachet. When you hang it like this, the whole person is very happy." The fifth elder brother grinned.

Shi Yangui looked up and down the fifth elder brother, his eyes were self-evident - you are not equally dressed up.

"Actually, I don't want to take it at all, but Nanny Bai wants me to take it. She is too old, and I really can't screw her up." The fifth elder brother said aggrievedly, pouting.

Shi Yangui smiled and said, "Children wear sachets during the Dragon Boat Festival. Legend has it that they have the meaning of warding off evil spirits and expelling plague. It must be a good intention to take care of your mother."

"I just know that she is kind, so I can't bear to refuse." The fifth elder brother looked at Shi Yangui's sachet curiously, "Your sachet has a special shape, can you show me?"

Shi Yangui took off the sachet and handed it to the fifth elder brother: "It seems that there is nothing special about it, it's just an ordinary sachet."

"That's it, let's exchange it." The fifth elder brother took off the sachet on his body and handed it to Shi Yangui, "We are good friends. Yangui, it seems that we haven't exchanged any gifts yet, let's exchange this first." "Yangui, you shouldn't be angry."

"No, I will take good care of this exchanged gift." The sachet was made by Xiaoru, but there is no special mark on it. It should be a coincidence that the fifth elder brother took a fancy to this sachet. in the way.

"I will also take good care of this first gift." The fifth elder brother smiled innocently at Shi Yangui.

Back on the bed in Elder Brother's courtyard, Fifth Elder Brother still held the sachet tightly in his hand. His memory began to gradually recover after seeing Xiaoru with his own eyes. Now, he has remembered everything.In this era, women are very strict, and I don't know if she is doing well in the Minister's Mansion.It seems that he still has to find a way to get out of the palace in the future.

Fifth elder brother thought of Concubine Yi in Yikun Palace, his mother in this life.In the previous life, he and Xiaoru were both orphans, and they grew up together in the orphanage. Although the aunts in the orphanage were very kind to them, they were somewhat different from their real relatives.

In this life, he was reborn in the emperor's family. Although he was not free, he still felt at home.At least, the emperor's grandmother and Er Niang were sincere to him.Although the second brother and the fourth brother also have their own little thoughts, these thoughts have never been used on him so far.Khan Ama, the Emperor Kangxi in the history books, the creator of the prosperous Kangxi and Qianlong era, he also felt the father's love from this great emperor, and these warmths made him nostalgic.

The fifth elder brother turned over on the bed. Because of Xiaoru's enthusiasm for history, he also has a certain understanding of Qing history-the eleventh son of Emperor Kangxi, who has not grown up.But now, he was waiting to be born in Erniang's womb.He will definitely work hard to protect this child.

Thinking of this child, he thought of Sixth Brother, that child also seemed to be destined to die young.What should he do?

The fifth elder brother gradually fell asleep.

Two days later, Empress Yifei of Yikun Palace gave birth to the emperor's eleventh elder brother Yinxu.

Kangxi was very happy. The little girl he liked gave birth to another elder brother for him, which made up for the loss of the nobleman Guo Luoluo's son some time ago.Son, no one can think too much.

When Emperor Kangxi was happy, he took his two sons, the prince and elder brother, out to escape the summer heat.

A group of young elder brothers were thrown at elder brother's place.

As the little big brother of a group of little elder brothers, the third elder brother had to take on the responsibility of disciplining the younger brothers.At one moment, he had to guard against Xiaowu teasing Xiaosi, and at the other moment he had to worry about the sickly Xiaoliu. It was simply miserable.

"What's going on? Why hasn't Xiao Wu come to Shang's study?" The third elder brother was a little helpless.Xiao Liu was ill again, and hadn't come to Shang's study for several days.Although Xiaoliu used to love to get sick, but the illness was not as violent as this time.Now Xiao Wu is not here, so nothing will happen.

The fourth elder brother replied: "Xiao Wu went to visit Xiao Eleven, and he has already asked the master for leave. Third brother, don't worry."

The third elder brother breathed a sigh of relief, and said stubbornly: "I have nothing to worry about, I won't worry about that kid. He is alive and kicking all day, who would worry about him. I'm going back to study, Xiaosi, please take a look Xiaoqi."

"Okay, third brother, don't worry. Khan Ama will be back soon, and everyone will be fine." The fourth elder brother secretly said that Xiao Liu will be fine.

The fifth elder brother went to Yikun Palace to visit the eleventh elder brother.He finally understood why everyone in the red building felt that Lin Daiyu was deficient when they saw her, because he felt the same way when he saw Xiao Shishi, and this child seemed to have deficiencies.He is thin and small, not half the size of Xiaojiu when he was born, his breath is very short, and the tip of his nose hardly rises and falls, as if it will disappear in the next moment.The child was too quiet, and I was afraid that once he fell asleep, he would never wake up again.

"You have to take a good look at Brother Eleven. If you let me know who among you is a little bit slack—" Brother Fifth cast a cold glance at the people kneeling on the ground, "The consequences are not something you can bear!"

"The slaves and others must do their best to take care of Elder Brother Eleven." Everyone promised in unison.The servants in the palace all said that the fifth elder brother had a good temper and treated others generously. It seemed that the rumors could not be completely believed. This elder brother's aura was comparable to that of Long Live.

"Emiang, are you feeling better these days?" The fifth elder brother walked to Yifei's bed and helped her up.

"It's much better, Xiao Wu, don't worry about Er Niang. Er Niang is not alone in this palace, there is also your aunt. Your sixth sister is now grown up, and can help a lot. Xiao Wu, don't Worried about Er Niang." Yi Fei patted Fifth Elder Brother's little head.

The fifth elder brother nodded: "Then Er Niang, take a good rest. Wu Ku's mother is also feeling a little unwell these days, so I'll go and see her. Er Niang, I will leave."

"Go. Xiaowu, stay in the Compassionate Ning Palace for a while, your mother Wuku is very lonely, and I like you children the most." Yifei sighed, the empress dowager is ill, and Long Live should come back .

The fifth elder brother took Yi Fei's hand: "Okay. Er Niang, please remember to take good care of yourself."

Cining Palace.

The fifth elder brother looked at the carved gate of the Compassionate Ning Palace, and remembered some past events.

When he was young, Emege Eji often took him to the Compassion Palace to pay his respects, and Uku's mother would always ask the nanny to bring him hot milk cakes.The milk cakes are very fresh, just out of the pan. I don't know how long Wuku's mother has been waiting for their arrival.

Mother Uku is a very kind old man. She likes their little great-grandchildren, and she likes to watch him and the prince compete for favor and act like a spoiled child in front of her.But Wuku's mother's face doesn't look kind. On the contrary, from her, the fifth elder brother can feel the heroic spirit of the real grassland children. She is a female politician who has assisted three generations of emperors.Today, this great old man is approaching the end of his life.

"Fifth elder brother, don't we go in?" asked the little eunuch beside him.

"Go in." The fifth elder brother raised his foot and stepped over the threshold.

"Yinqi sends greetings to Wuku's mother and Ermogeerji, and wishes the two elders a long life and good health."

"It's Xiao Wu, come here quickly. Su Mala, ask someone to go to the small kitchen to see if there are any freshly made snacks, and bring them to Brother Wu to cushion his stomach." The Empress Dowager laughed.

"Thank you, Wuku's mother. Wuku's mother, you must get well soon. When the time comes, you will take your sisters and sisters to play on the swing, and I will help count." The fifth elder brother smiled sweetly.

"Okay, our little five is really good. Mother Uku will definitely get better soon. Hey, you Khan Ama is also really good. As soon as you heard that I was sick, you rushed back, and you don't know how much you will be delayed. "The empress dowager is half complaining and half sweet, and she is naturally happy when her grandson is filial to her.

The fifth elder brother said: "That's Khan Ama's filial piety to you. How can your body be as important as your tour outside the Great Wall?"

"Okay, okay, our little five can talk a lot more than you, Ermege'erji." The Empress Dowager complained, "Look at your Ermege'erji, who said she came to take care of me, an old woman, except for serving tea. Delivering medicine, you don’t know how to do anything, just sit there stupidly by yourself. It’s not as good as Xiao Wu, you will spend more time chatting with my wife and me.”

The queen mother was a little helpless: "Grandmother, I—"

The fifth elder brother hurriedly said: "Who said, isn't Er Ge Erji still with you? How can you bury people like this. You like me to talk with you, then I will take those little ones after school. They all called to the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and I guarantee that your palace will be lively."

The Empress Dowager shook her head: "It's still not possible, just you are enough to make a fuss. If a large group of them come, wouldn't my palace be in trouble?"

Everyone in the room burst into laughter.

The author has something to say:

In the summer of the 24th year of Kangxi, I went to the fortress to escape the summer heat, and went to Hetun in Boluo. When I heard that the Queen Mother (referring to Xiaozhuang here) did not hesitate to return to the capital, the Queen Mother was already ill.
