starling is not a bird

On the second day, the two of them stood outside the courtyard of Brother Jiu early in the morning, hoping to see if the brother was safe, but the servants in the courtyard replied that Brother Jiu had gone to Wuyi Hall to study, so they felt that something was wrong. Some trouble.But when the two of them arrived at Wuyi Hall, they saw a young brother who was studying peacefully. The eighth elder brother pulled him to a secluded place and didn't ask what happened to him. He groped his thigh carefully, and waited until he found no trauma before finding the energy to question him.

No matter how soft-spoken eighth elder brother was, or how coercive tenth elder brother was, Xiao Jiu just lowered his head and didn't answer, gritted his teeth and didn't even look at them.When Xiao Shi got anxious and asked harshly, he didn't make a sound, only a little blush rose on his face, and it seemed that even the bottom of his eyes were stained crimson. No matter what happens, no one is hurt, and it will always be untied.After all, he was older than his younger brother, so he could hold his breath, knowing that if he insisted on getting to the bottom of it like Xiao Shi, he would screw things up instead.

Pressing down the worry in his heart, Yinhu pulled Xiao Shi who was shaking his younger brother away, and said to the silent Xiao Jiu: "Jiu brother, you are old too, you can make up your own mind about everything, just don't forget, anytime we It's all behind you."

After finishing speaking, regardless of Xiao Shi's fussing around, he dragged his two younger brothers back to Wuyi Hall, the three of them sat together, and one of them stuffed a book and started to read aloud.Yinhu was thinking about the benevolence and righteousness of Mencius, and his eyes were still on the expressions of his two younger brothers. He watched the strange color on Xiaojiu's face slowly recede, and changed into a deep look, before exhaling the sullen breath on his chest. .If you think about it, you can deduce that Xiao Jiu is wandering around in the prince's palace, and you will definitely not meet him if you seek rebellion. Zuo is just some secrets of the court or the filth of the boudoir. Although Xiao Jiu is usually naughty, he is still young. If he can't stand it, he must be shocked, and it will be fine to coax him more in the future.

Look at Xiao Shi again, with a look of worry and anger on his face, both amused and distressed in his heart, when the two younger brothers are in good times, they will not let anyone else go, but they care about each other more than anyone else when they encounter problems, they are really a pair of enemies .

After closing the book, Yinhu whispered into Xiao Shi's ear and said, "Your Brother Ninth is no longer a child, and Brother Ninth knows you are worried about him, but you have to be a bit more modest and don't do unnecessary things." Holding the book in his hand tightly, Yinhu didn't expect him to be able to understand it in a while, but after a while, Xiao Shi put down the book in his hand, raised his head and looked straight into Yinhu's eyes: " Starling, I know what you said is right, but we are brothers, even if it is superfluous, I have to do it!"

Brother Ba's ups and downs didn't last long, because although Xiao Shi kept chasing after Xiao Jiu's buttocks to care about her, Xiao Jiu was so good-tempered that he didn't stop him. Just before Ba Prince felt that things started to become interesting, Wen Concubine Xi's condition worsened.

Emperor Kangxi read the pulse report presented by the Imperial Hospital, pondered for a whole night, and ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare Niu Colu's family to be crowned imperial concubine. Xiao Shi didn't have the heart to run away with his ninth brother, and he never explained what happened that day. Xiao Jiu, who met something, still didn't say anything, but started to follow her younger brother to visit Concubine Wen Xi every day to see her.

In early winter, when the sky is cold and the ground is cold, the sun rises late and sets early, Yin Rong and I quietly handed over a booklet to Kangxi, stopped my homework, and handed over my errands, but I just stayed with the imperial concubine every day. keep watch.After all, the eighth elder brother and the ninth elder brother's own mother-in-law is still alive, and it is not easy for the two of them to ask for leave. They just perfunctory with various affairs every day, seeking medical treatment, asking gods and worshiping Buddha everywhere.

Xiao Jiu mentioned inviting Ye Tianshi and the others back, but the eighth elder brother went to look at the face of the imperial concubine every day, she looked like she was dying, and even her face was thin and dry. Kangxi had spoken, and the Tai Hospital used the medicine in such a way that it wanted the imperial concubine to survive this winter and spend another year with her son.

I remember that in the last life, Niu Colu's family died in November Yichou Shuo Dingmao (the third day of November in the 33rd year of Kangxi), and the number of days is almost the same.Xiao Shi hasn't seen a smile on his face in the past ten days. He has been guarding his mother day and night, and he has lost a lot of weight. The baby fat on his cheeks has long since disappeared. The dark circles under his eyes make people feel distressed. Only those eyes were shining brightly in their sockets.

Looking at the empty desk, the younger brothers who should have worked hard to do errands disappeared again. The fourth elder brother also knew that the imperial concubine was dying, and he didn't want to criticize his brothers for it. ?Seeing the sad eyes of the tenth elder brother, even if the fourth elder brother had something to say, it was nothing but a long sigh.

Thinking of this, the fourth elder brother felt heavy while holding the job bowl, but the concubine Defei was in good health. I was thinking about the winter cold these days, and asked Fujin to visit the palace with a prescription for tonic, but I got a faint reply. I can't help feeling sad, comparing myself with the ten elder brothers, I don't know which one is more pitiful.It's just that the fourth elder brother doesn't like Qiqing, and everyone says he is cold-hearted, so who can feel sorry for him?

The eighth elder brother and the ninth elder brother came out from the concubine Yi. Recently, the concubine Yi was very favored by the emperor, so naturally she was honored by the imperial concubine's death.The family members who followed the emperor all the way walked in front of the emperor, and there were fewer and fewer elderly people who knew the basics and interests.

In addition, the eighth elder brother and the ninth elder brother are very respectful to the imperial concubine. The emperor does not say anything, but loves these two sons in his heart. He has a kind heart. Kangxi lacked the care of his relatives since he was a child. Dayue is also willing to show respect to their mother, if it is not for the impediment of the imperial concubine's serious illness, this new year Kangxi would like to be promoted to the position of the Wei family.

In the harem of the Qing Dynasty, mothers have always valued their sons and sons are more valuable than their mothers. The eighth elder brother can be considerate of himself in everything, and brotherhood is even better. Now that he has a roommate, it is time for him to make contributions as an adult.It's just that Wei's family background is too low, if this child goes to the court to do things in the future, without the support of a prominent mother's family behind him, he will inevitably be restrained everywhere, and he will be ruined in vain.

If Wei had been promoted earlier, the eighth elder brother, the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother would have stood side by side in the future, so that the brothers would have less care and get along with each other, and their childhood affection would be saved. .

In the bed tent, Niu Gulu was panting like a cow, his once plump face was covered with cold sweat, and the towels used to wipe the sweat were changed several times, but in the end the dripping was not water, it was as sticky as mud.Elder Brother Shi knelt on the bedside, holding Niu Gulu's hand and refused to let go, but his eyes were dry without a single tear.Niu Yulu took a sip of the ginseng soup, looked at his son's face when he saw Yingwu for the first time, tried hard to swallow the pain from the knife in his throat, and said softly: "I, I'm afraid I won't be able to last this time, remember, You have nothing wrong with me before Bengong, you don't need to mourn until you are ruined, if you are doing well, you are filial to Bengong."

Yin Rong trembled when I heard the words, her eye circles were red, but her mouth was still stubborn: "Your Majesty, what unlucky words did you say? It's almost the Chinese New Year, and my son is still waiting for you to reward me with a red seal, so don't hold back! There are many places where your son is filial to you, so there is no need to add them up first!"

Niu Gulu smiled slightly, she knew her son was unwilling to accept this fact, even if she didn't give up, she finally managed to get to this position in this palace, saying that she didn't expect anything That's fake.I am also a surname of the Eight Banners, and my mother's family has made great achievements. From myself to Ama, I have some thoughts, so I have dirty my hands all these years.

Niu Gulu doesn't regret it, a woman is a strong mother, and she has a son, why don't she fight for it?It's just that the destiny cannot be controlled by others, and now that I am leaving, I am afraid that the sins I made will harm my son, so I can't say anything, so I have to let him bear it.

At any rate, I also left behind, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so frivolous, even if he doesn't act, there are still people plotting, and he may not have the opportunity to punish his son.Look at the eighth elder brother and ninth elder brother guarding the outside. The family members of Concubine Wei Yifei are all good, and they are in harmony with each other. The Qing Dynasty is not happy to kill the clan. I think the future of my son is not bad, and I can go away with peace of mind up.

On the night of the third day of November in the 33rd year of Kangxi, it was a sunny day. The new moon was hanging quietly in the sky. With the cry of the ten princes, the imperial concubine Niu Colu died. The emperor stayed up all night and wrote the inscription He got a posthumous title——Wen Xi.

On this day, the Ministry of Rites announced that noble concubines should stop court for three days, and those below the grand family and above the imperial clan should wear salty and plain clothes within three days and not worship the gods.All the ministries were ordered to stay in court for five days.The ten princes born to the imperial concubine, Yinyu, cut off the braids of my hair, took off the crown and tassels to make clothes, and took off the clothes on the day of the great sacrifice, and shaved my head for a hundred days.

Women in the imperial concubine's palace and eunuchs have their hair cut and braided into clothes until the day of the great sacrifice, and their heads are shaved for a hundred days.In-laws and relatives wait for the clothes to be worn, and the clothes are removed on the day of the big sacrifice, and the head is shaved for a hundred days.Order the three princes, five elder brothers, eight elder brothers and nine elder brothers, to complete the uniforms, and the rest will take off their crowns.

One person in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the staff of the tea and catering staff wear the clothes, and remove the clothes and shave their heads on the day of the big festival.The assistant leader of the Erneifu and the wives of the officials and other officials under the leadership of the Erneifu to which they belonged, and the wives of Yi et al. wear the clothes.

From the prince of the early days, to the general of Feng En, from the Duke of the people to Hou Bo, and above the first-rank official, there will be three laying ceremony in the morning and evening, and they will gather together.Princesses, below Fujin, county lords, and first-rank wives above, all gathered day and night, and gathered until after Fengyi, only on the day of worship.The Ministry of Rites has set a rule that there will be three solar eclipses within three months, and two solar eclipses within a hundred days.During the unburial period, there will be a meal every new moon.

During the unburial period, there will be a meal every new moon.The big sacrifice is the same as the first sacrifice.The Yi Festival the next day is the same as the previous Yi Festival.In the first week and the first month of the week, gold and silver were used to set the money, each of which was ten thousand. There were ten tables for feasts, five sheep, and five wines.The second and third weeks and months are the same as the hundred days, and the sacrifices are the same as the week and the month.At the end of the mid-yuan and winter solstice, two thousand gold and silver are used, and one thousand chu coins are used. There are five feasts, one sheep, and one wine.

Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would not be able to celebrate with his cronies in Yuqing Palace, he was relieved all the time in his heart. Concubine Wen Xi was a noble concubine, and Niu Gulu's family was deeply rooted in the imperial court, and there were always some movements.

Huang Ama is in her prime, and no one knows what will happen in the future. If she is made a queen, her position will be embarrassing.Now that she has gone, after all, she has a heart problem. Looking at Hongxi in the cradle, the prince swore secretly that no one would let anyone step on this child's head in the future.

Therefore, on the day when the coffin stopped, the crown prince cried sincerely, without any trace of misrepresentation. Noble Concubine Wen Xi's own son, Elder Brother Shi, was about to retreat, but he knelt down and never shed a single tear.
