Prince Heng [Qing wear]

"Hmm—" Fifth Prince woke up startled from his dream.He dreamed again, but unfortunately he couldn't remember anything.He only knew that he seemed to be looking for something very important, but he didn't know what it was.

"My elder brother, you are awake, hurry up, the fourth elder brother is already waiting for you outside." said the little eunuch who served him.The fifth elder brother didn't like to be guarded when he was sleeping, and behind him were the queen mother and the concubine Yi, who were doting on him, so the nuns didn't dare to force him.Ever since he moved to Elder Brother's house, Fifth Elder Brother forbade others to enter his house at will.The fifth elder brother is the master, and he has big ideas since he was a child. The nuns have no choice but to talk about it, so the fifth elder brother agreed to let the little eunuch stay in the house, but it should be far away from the bed.

"Let the fourth elder brother have breakfast first, and I'll go there right away." The fifth elder brother finished dressing quickly, asked the eunuch to comb his hair and wipe his face, and then walked towards the hall.

"Fourth brother!" Fifth elder brother shouted.

"How old are you, and you're still so frizzy, hurry up and have a meal, or you'll be late again." The fourth elder brother frowned.

The fifth elder brother made a grimace: "I know, I know, fourth brother, you are getting more and more verbose."

After dinner, the two went to Shang's study.

The Shang study is now empty.The coolness of the early morning has long been replaced by the heat of summer.Khan Ama took the Empress Dowager to Beikou to escape the summer heat, and also took away the unfamiliar eldest brother, the more majestic second brother of the prince, and the third brother who was more talkative than the fourth brother, leaving him and the fourth brother alone in the In Shangshufang, I have to get up so early every day to study.Oh, and those little cubs who only drool in the harem, but they just need to have fun every day, and don't need to get up early to read, ah, he is so jealous.

The fifth elder brother changed the direction and lay on his stomach, looking at the fourth elder brother who was listening to Gu Badai's "Book of Changes" wholeheartedly, feeling ashamed of himself.If you don’t understand, it’s not as interesting as Zhang Ying’s "The Book of Songs". He silently took a pen and wrote on the paper: You can know it when you are happy; , Ru Ru Ye, Yi Ru Ye, Yi Cheng.Don't know how wonderful that pure joy is?

Shi Yangui sat on the side, looking at the familiar words, he couldn't help but pick and choose, that was the source of the names of his aunt's cousin and cousin.As the only youngest daughter of my grandfather, my aunt was spoiled and spoiled since she was a child, but in the end she married Manchu by mistake.Fortunately, his Tara family is quite kind. Although my uncle is a bit dull, he treats his aunt well. Not only is he wholehearted, he even accepts the request of giving his children Chinese names.But there is also the reason why the grandfather was favored by the emperor.Shi Yangui was a little hesitant, this is already the second coincidence, it must be his overthinking.

Gu Badai in the front glanced helplessly at the drowsy fifth elder brother. I don’t care about this young master, I’m sorry for my conscience as a teacher; The desire to save one's life prevailed, so I had no choice but to walk up to the fifth elder brother from time to time, reminding him tactfully.

The days became hotter day by day, and the humming of cicadas echoed around Elder Brother's house, making people's hearts hotter and hotter.

One day after school, the fifth elder brother was having a meal, and there was a plate of oily dates in the food box delivered by the servants, which was dark red in color and shiny with oil.

"The taste of this jujube is really good. It is big and seedless, with thin skin and fine lines, and the meat is sweet and fragrant. It's good to eat as a snack. If you have any more, I will send a plate to the fourth brother." Looking at the nanny beside him, he said.

"I don't know, this Baode jujube was sent back from Wutai Mountain by the Lord Longevity because the concubine Yi was pregnant. Although the other concubines and elder brothers in the palace have all been rewarded, this oil jujube Only the Ciren Palace and the Yikun Palace got it, and even the Yonghe Palace, which is also pregnant, only got some clothes and jewelry." The mother speculated on the expression of the fifth elder brother, "Our jujube here is also the Queen Mother and the Empress Dowager. Empress Yifei loves you so much, she specially sent it here. Although there are still some left, there are not many. Si elder brother, look—"

"Forget it, then don't give it away." The fifth elder brother sighed, the fourth elder brother has always been sensitive and thoughtful, it would be bad if he thought I was showing off.

"Is Empress Yifei going to give birth soon?" Except for the New Year's Eve, he really hasn't had much contact with this mother-in-law. It was only after arriving at Elder Brother's place that she gave him things, so the chances of contact increased. "I Is it convenient to visit her?" He knew that this nun was sent by Concubine Yi.

"It's convenient, it's convenient," Nanny said with a smile on her face, "I don't know how happy your mother will be when you go to see her?"

"Then tomorrow, after the Manchu class is over, Wenda and I will ask for leave and go to Yikun Palace to accompany the empress for lunch." The fifth elder brother looked at the mother who couldn't hide her smile, and couldn't help being touched , "You send someone to ask, it's not convenient to see the empress."

The nanny couldn't stop smiling: "Hey, this servant will send someone there right now, the empress will be very happy to know that the fifth elder brother is going to visit her."

Seeing the smiling faces of the people around him, Brother Wu couldn't help but laugh too.

The next day just after afternoon school, the fifth elder brother told the fourth elder brother and hurried back to the elder brother's place to change clothes.

The fifth elder brother told the nanny: "I'm afraid it's too late to take a bath, let someone smoke the clothes with tangerine peel, so as not to leave a sweaty smell."

"Brother, don't worry, Empress Yifei and you are mother and son, no mother would dislike her child." The nanny smiled and asked the little girl to fetch the tangerine peel.

It wasn't that he was afraid of being rejected by Er Niang, but he was not nervous when he heard people say that some pregnant women can't smell sweat. The fifth elder brother retorted silently in his heart.

In his vague impression, Empress Yifei was an exquisite and noble woman, deeply loved by Khan Ama, and she was always included in the first appreciating dishes at the banquet.He doesn't have much contact with her, but he still remembers that slightly cold hand caressing his forehead over and over again when he was dizzy from burning, waking him up from that dream full of smoke and burning heat come over.

Concubine Yi, what kind of person is she?Will she like me?Would she prefer the child in the belly?After all, he is the fifth elder brother of Mercy Palace, not her elder brother.

Yinqi walked into the Yikun Palace under the guidance of the nanny, thinking carefully along the way.

The palace where the empress lives is called Kunning Palace, and the palace where Concubine Yi lives is called Yikun Palace.Yi is the assistant, and Yikun means to assist the queen in managing the six palaces.Now there are no queens in the harem, only imperial concubine Tong Jia, Niu Hulu and four concubines. Among the four concubines, the second concubine Yide is the most favored by Khan Ama.Khan Ama let Empress Yifei live in Yikun Palace, probably because she had placed high hopes on her.Therefore, this Yikun Palace has carved beams and painted buildings, with brackets and arches under the eaves, and the beams are decorated with Su-style paintings.The door is a door with a brocade bottom and a five-bat holding longevity skirt board partition door, and the window is a step-by-step brocade branch window, decorated with the Wanzi group longevity pattern.Every step is a scene, everywhere is exquisite, it can be said to be extravagant.

Yikun Palace, the main hall.

"Yinqi pays respects to Concubine Yi." The fifth elder brother stood upright and saluted Concubine Yi who was sitting upright.

"Good boy, come here quickly, come here and let Er Niang take a look." Concubine Yi pulled the fifth elder brother over and hugged her in her arms, "Xiao Wu, Yinqi, Er Niang's fifth elder brother, Er Niang's fifth elder brother ..."

Tears slid down Yifei's face, soaked Fifth Prince's collar, and hit Fifth Prince's heart drop by drop.

Brother Fifth is a little at a loss. He has seen many women in these years, but he has never seen a woman who is hugged and hugged as soon as she comes up, and is full of emotions: Mother Uku, solemn and solemn; Ji, loving and benevolent; Khan Ama's concubines are luxurious and exquisite, not like real people; the nuns and maids who serve him are always cautious and humble.And the concubine Yi in front of him was in a hurry, but she seemed to be made of water, her teardrops were like pearls that had fallen off a thread, and she couldn't stop no matter what.He had no choice but to reach out his hand clumsily, pat Yifei's back lightly, and comfort her carefully...

Concubine Yi finally calmed down, she could feel the child's uneasiness and alienation, she sighed in her heart, it seems that if she wants to ease the relationship with this child, she should take her time.

She asked someone to wash her face with water, and the fifth elder brother watched blankly from the side.

Concubine Yi chuckled: "Would Xiao Wu come over and help Emiang draw her eyebrows?"

"Ah?" Brother Fifth took a step back, and quickly waved his hands, "Ma'am, I don't know how to thrush."

"Come here, Er Niang will teach you, okay, Xiao Wu can help Er Niang draw it once." Yi Fei winked mischievously at Fifth Brother, and handed the eyebrow pencil to Fifth Brother, "How about it, Xiao Wu?"

The fifth elder brother blushed all of a sudden, as if he had drunk strong alcohol, and his whole body was about to smoke.

He took the eyebrow pencil carefully, but he didn't dare to hold it firmly, he only held it tentatively. Under Yi Fei's guidance, he carefully drew Yi Fei's eyebrows bit by bit. His limbs were stiff, and he didn't dare to move except his arms.

Concubine Yi kept smiling at him, smelling the fragrance of milk and the freshness of dried tangerine peel on Fifth Prince's body.This is her flesh and blood born in October of her pregnancy.Although there is still estrangement between mother and child, the love between mother and child that blood is thicker than water is rooted in the bones, and nothing can change it.

"Okay... okay." The fifth elder brother put down his eyebrow pencil stiffly, and looked at Concubine Yi fixedly.

"Not bad." Concubine Yi fiddled with the mirror, "Xiao Wu Thrush is amazing. Let's go eat."

The fifth elder brother let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was bored before and learned a hand from the fourth elder brother, otherwise it would be bad.As for how the fourth brother learned to thrush, anyway, the fourth brother knows everything except riding a horse, so it's strange that he knows how to thrush.

Concubine Yi got up and took Fifth Elder Brother's little hand, and walked to the dining table.

More than half of the dishes on the table are always prepared on the table of the Ciren Palace, and they are all the favorite dishes of the fifth elder brother.

"Okay, Xiao Wu, try it quickly." Yi Fei took a piece of crispy meat for Brother Wu, "Is it delicious? I heard that you like to eat this recently."

"Yeah, it's delicious, thank you, ma'am." The fifth elder brother picked up the meat and devoured it hungrily.Because Erme Ge Erji doesn't eat pork, so the small crispy meat is not on the menu of the Charity Palace.It seems that Concubine Yi really cares about her. It's great to have such a mother who loves her so much.

After lunch, the nurse in charge of Yikun Palace came to remind Concubine Yi that it was time for her lunch break.

Concubine Yi lovingly stroked her belly: "Would Xiao Wu take a break at Erniang's place?"

"No, I still have homework in the afternoon. Although I have already asked the master for leave, it is not easy to delay too much." The fifth elder brother let Yifei hold him in her arms, "Yi... Er Niang, I'm going back to class."

Concubine Yi had tears in her eyes: "Okay, Xiao Wu wants to visit Emiang often, okay?"

"Yeah." The fifth elder brother gently took Yi Fei's hand, "Emiang is pregnant, so she should take good care of herself, rest well, and don't work too hard."

Concubine Yi touched Fifth Elder Brother's bare forehead: "Emiang knows, then you can go back quickly. Is the ice that Elder Brother has enough? You are a prince, if you are not comfortable somewhere, just come to Er Mother, Er Niang will make the decision for you."

Fifth Elder Brother shook his head: "Everything is fine with Elder Brother, so don't worry about Er Niang, Yin Qi will leave."

Concubine Yi glanced at him reluctantly: "You go back. Be careful on the road, don't run, it's hot, be careful to catch heat again."

Fifth elder brother: "Yes, my son knows."

The author has something to say:

1. Ziyu Master Lu’s music, said: “You can know how to enjoy it: from the beginning, it is like it; from it, it’s pure like it, it’s like it, it’s like it, it’s like it, and it’s completed.”

Translation: Confucius discussed music performance with the music official of the state of Lu, saying that music is knowable.The beginning is an ensemble, and after letting go, it is a pure, clear, and long tone, and it is completed.

2. Great-grandmother——Uku Mama (Manchu) Grandma: Emoge Eji (Mongolian)

3. Baode oil jujube has been cultivated for more than 380 years.It is said that there is an old jujube tree in Panjia Township in the county. Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty ate the jujubes on this tree when he was on tour, and left a message: "In Baode Prefecture, which is poor and white, there are only carp and big jujubes."Since then, Baode oil jujube has become a tribute. When the dates are harvested in autumn, local officials collect fresh dates from the common people and send them to Beijing as a tribute.
