Grandpa's Obsession

Kangxi has always been a vigorous and decisive leader. Since he thought of using this method that can not only show force and deterrence, but also promote the Qing Dynasty's national prestige, accurate news came out within two days. Later, when the Russian envoys came to Beijing for peace talks, that is to say, the specific date is still to be determined.

But these words have been widely circulated, and there is a craze for Cuju among the people.

In fact, Cuju has never disappeared. It has a long history in China. It can be traced back to the Warring States Period. It flourished in Han Dynasty, flourished in Tang Dynasty, and reached its peak in Song Dynasty. Although it has been ups and downs, it has never really disappeared, so when Kangxi's Jinkou opened, almost the whole people boiled, and the news rolled from the Forbidden City to Beijing City and then spread to the whole Qing Dynasty like a tide.

Everyone began to prepare for Cuju with enthusiasm, and the organization of the competition was naturally handed over to the Minister of Rites, Yisang'a, and only Mr. Shangshu suffered.

He didn't know whether His Majesty the Emperor really wanted it or it was just for fun, he had never organized such a similar event, and he was quite anxious all of a sudden.

Not to mention Lord Shang Shu's embarrassment and the boiling of public opinion are irreversible, even the Forty-Nine City has become a little more energetic because of this news. Don't think that women in the Qing Dynasty can only stay at home obediently, it also depends on the situation. of.

Manchu girls are less constrained by rules, they don't have to bind their feet or study, it's not that they are not allowed to read, but they are not forced, so most of the Manchu girls are bold, shrewd and capable.

For women of good background like Concubine Hui and Concubine Yi, riding a horse-drawn bow has become an instinct, and of course they prefer such intense sports as Cuju, especially when Concubine Yi was famous among the younger sisters when she was not in the palace good hand.There are not many Manchu women in the harem, so many spicy people gathered together, and for a moment they forgot to be jealous and secretly secretly involved. In the end, the Queen Mother took the lead. The nobles also played Cuju in the palace, and often organized competitions. It’s just that everyone Everyone went to play cuju, so it was inevitable that His Majesty the Emperor would be left out in the cold, so...

On a rare day without incident, Kangxi raised his legs and went to Jingren Palace. As a result, the little eunuch who had just arrived at the gate "plopped" and knelt down, saying that the imperial concubine had gone to the school grounds.

Could it be that Tong Jiashi wanted to see how Yinzhen's riding and shooting kung fu is learning?Forget it, go to Yonghe Palace.

It's just that when His Majesty the Emperor finally got angry after being closed door again, his stubborn temper suddenly became aroused, and he didn't want Li Dequan to ask questions. He didn't believe in evil, and he couldn't find any of them. The Palace of Yanxi Palace was also empty, and it seemed that everyone disappeared for a while...

It is early spring at this time, although it is not too cold, the spring is expected to be chilly, the wind blowing on the face is like a gentle knife on the face, although it is not too painful, it is very itchy and extremely uncomfortable, and the magnolia flowers blooming on the roadside seem to be Feeling the depression of Kangxi, the blooming flowers left the branches one after another and floated down, swirling non-stop under the drive of the spring breeze, but it made a generation of emperors alone feel even more desolate .

Li Dequan followed from a distance, the emperor's face was already darker than the ink, of course he knew what was going on, but how dare he stroke the tiger's beard at this time?It's just that the emperor is really pitiful now...

Kangxi was irritated by repeated attempts, and suddenly felt that this huge palace looked so unpleasant?Well, why don't you watch it?Grandpa is going out of the palace!Grandpa wants to visit in private!Grandpa wants to run away from home!How dare you ignore me!

"Li Dequan, go get ready, I want you to leave the palace in a micro-clothes!"

Kangxi's tone was actually quite sad, Li Dequan was slightly startled, but he didn't show it on his face: "Hey."

Knowing that the emperor would not be angry at this time, Li Dequan hurriedly ran to Kangxi. Kangxi squinted at Li Dequan's cautious face, and felt even more uncomfortable: "Hmph, I don't even want to see you! I don't want you when I leave the palace this time." and!"

Li Dequan knelt down in surprise, but he was secretly amused, it was rare to see the emperor playing with his temper like a child: "Your Majesty, absolutely not! The old slave deserves to die, the old slave deserves to die..."

"Come on! That's what I mean! You dirty bastard! Hurry up!"

"Thank you, Emperor Jinkou!"

Li Dequan stood up with a smile, how could there be a trace of worry on his face?Kangxi looked angry and funny.

Kangxi and Li Dequan walked and watched. As soon as they reached Deshengmen, they saw two children walking out side by side, talking and laughing. There were only two young eunuchs by their side. Kangxi was surprised. It was not the fourth and eighth children. what?What are they going to do?

He didn't go up to ask the guards until the two younger ones were far away. The eight guards saw that it was Kangxi and were about to kneel down. Kangxi was impatient with these hypocrisy and only asked the two elder brothers how they got out. The guards were respectful. Respectfully held out two waist tags, but they were engraved with Concubine Tong's name.

Kangxi watched the two boys turn left and right in a familiar way, and he was curious, so he couldn't help but also followed, and he didn't think there was any shame in this behavior.

Yinzhen and Yinhu came out for no other reason than Concubine Tong's birthday was approaching, Concubine Liang's birthday was almost a month away, but it was not far away, and more importantly, their little sister , Ziyue, the fourteenth daughter of the emperor, is almost half a year old. The little girl was just curious, so the two discussed going out together and even bought gifts and toys for the little guy. Even though they are princes, it is not so easy to leave the palace. Yes, they are all underage after all.

"Fourth brother, what do you think we should buy for Xiao Ziyue?" Yinhu asked Yinzhen enthusiastically, rubbing his hands together non-stop.

"Ziyue is only half a year old, what do you know? They are mostly brightly colored playthings. There are plenty of them in these palaces, but I don't know why you have to go outside the palace to buy them."

Yinzhen shook his head. Although it was in the name of buying gifts, it was actually to do something for a little girl. Thinking of this, Yinzhen couldn't help but feel guilty. He was sure that Concubine Tong knew what they were doing here, and he didn't see them. Did Concubine Tong have a mysterious smile when she went to ask for a waist card?

"Hmph, we didn't choose that by ourselves. I want to choose a gift for my little sister myself! Gifts are given from the heart, and it's the same reason to buy toys for children. Only those who choose with their own hands and heart are more sincere." Yinhu The corner of the mouth is raised with a flick of the head.

"Since that's the case, why don't the eighth brother make some toys for Ziyue to play with? Wouldn't it be more sincere?"

Yinhu was choked by his words, staring blankly and unable to say a word.If he has that skill, can he still use it to buy it?It took a long time before I rolled my eyes and pouted my mouth and hummed twice to show that I don't have the same knowledge as you.

"Okay, let's go to Liulichang first, buy gifts for Er Niang and the others first, and then take a look at the little girl's things, don't be in a hurry."

"That's right, the food outside is much more delicious than the inside, fourth brother, let's eat one by one later, and bring back more delicious ones for everyone to taste!"

As soon as Yinhu mentioned this, his brows and eyes were crooked with a smile, and he couldn't see his teeth. Every time Yinzhen saw it, he felt helpless: "You... Could it be that someone treats you harshly? Look at you, a starving ghost reincarnated... ..."

"Tsk tsk, fourth brother, don't you know? Lotus has the elegance of lotus, plum blossom has the pride of plum blossom, peach blossom has the charm of peach blossom, and this daisy also has the toughness of daisy. If you eat too much of this big meal, you always have to eat some side dishes to adjust it .You won’t just eat one dish all your life, right? This is the function of snacks!”

"You're the only one with a lot of lies!" But Yinzhen had to admit that these words were indeed reasonable.

"Li Dequan, do you think this little Ba is really smart or fake smart?" Kangxi was puzzled, he was not far behind, and although he didn't hear it clearly, he understood the general meaning.

"The servant doesn't know!" Li Dequan frowned.

"You're so boring! Forget it, you don't have to be formal when you're out of the house! Don't you mean to let others see you?"

Kangxi murmured dissatisfied, and imitated Yinzhen Yinhu's way of looking around, but he was not far away from them. He just became more and more puzzled as he walked, why are there fewer and fewer vendors around here?The population is getting thinner?Are the alleys getting narrower?Is there any shortcut to Liulichang?

The small alleys in Beijing are criss-crossed and deep and shallow like spider webs. If you are not careful, you may get lost, so when you see Yinzhen and Yinhu turning into a small alley and disappearing, you quickly follow.

He didn't want to monitor anything, it's just that he happened to come across it once in a while, and his curiosity couldn't help being aroused. Besides, he really wanted to know what gift the two children planned to choose "by hand", hehe, it was his birthday Why haven't they bothered so much?In short, His Majesty the Emperor is jealous.

Just after turning the corner, Kangxi saw darkness in front of his eyes. In panic, he forgot that there were always guards around him. Following the direction of the sound, he punched backhand, but he didn't expect that this person was petite and stretched out his hand, but he twisted his body quite nimbly. So he dodged, his fist only scratched the man's clothes, and then the right ear was blown, but it was another person.

Although I can't see it affecting my performance, it is not something ordinary people can resist, but these two people are unambiguous when they move their hands. Relying on their sharp eyes and ears, they just dodge their own fists and feet, but they are hit by their own body for a while. Lots of punches and kicks.

Only one of them was particularly tricky, obviously small, he ran up from a distance, took two steps, jumped up the wall, then turned around and kicked him on the left cheek, and the left cheek immediately hurt.Kangxi was furious, he had never been injured in such a big age, and he was still in Beijing, on his own territory.

Kangxi staggered two steps, followed the sound and rushed over, and then heard Li Dequan's shrill and miserable screams next to him, he didn't expect to meet a group, and there were two besieging him, I don't know how many people dealt with Li Dequan over there. This Li Dequan is not like he has practiced before.

Just as he was about to make a move, he felt the two people back away. He was about to take off the things covering his head when he heard a familiar voice say: "Obey, don't move. Otherwise, I don't mind being hit by a brick." You are full of peach blossoms, so that you can know why the flowers are so red!"
