Blessed by God

In the 23rd year of Kangxi, there were no major events worthy of national celebration, so the New Year's Eve banquet was not very extravagant.

After Yinyou brought Fuduo to Qianqing Palace, he consciously followed the servants of Qianqing Palace to lead him to a side room and waited for the Holy Master to call.In the wing room, the elder brother, the third elder brother, the fourth elder brother, and the fifth elder brother have already arrived. Yinyou stepped forward to greet each other one by one, and obediently walked to Yinzhen's side to stand still.

The third elder brother didn't like or dislike Yinyou much, and after talking to Yinyou for a few words, he sat alone and talked with the fifth elder brother.

Yinzhen pulled Yinyou to sit beside him, touched his hand, and felt that it was warm, so he was relieved. He was afraid that the servants below would not serve him wholeheartedly, and it would be bad if the young Yinyou caught the cold.

Fuduo, who was standing with the eunuch beside the fourth elder brother, twitched his brows when he saw the fourth elder brother's action, and then bowed his head in a proper manner, neither looking nor listening.

"The relationship between the fourth brother and the seventh brother is really good." The elder brother Yinyi is already 13 years old, and he loves martial arts. He looks tough like a 15-year-old boy. He glanced at Yinyou, and glanced at Yinyou without any trace Yinyou's left foot, "Seventh brother's feet are not convenient, we should ask two more servants to take care of him."

When Yinzhen heard the elder brother's words, he slightly raised his eyelids, and quickly returned to normal, but Yinyou who was sitting next to him still noticed this behavior.However, a child who is only six years old, no matter how smart he is, still has some shortcomings. He stood up from the chair and called Yin Yin, "Thank you for your love, brother. The seventh brother just wants to exercise more, so I didn't call him that." There are many servants to serve."

Seeing Yinyou's behavior like this, Yinfei didn't have any interest in talking to him, so he waved his hand to expose the matter.

Yinzhen looked at Yinyou who was standing upright, and saw that Yinyou's fair face was indifferent, without any unhappiness.He got up and pulled Yinyou back to sit beside him, leaned over and whispered in Yinyou's ear, "Today I got a new gadget, and I'll come to you tomorrow."

Yinyou nodded when he heard the words, and made what a child should expect, "Then fourth brother, you must remember to come to me."

It was just a conversation between two children, and the elder brother was not interested in listening to it. Thinking of the prince accompanying the dragon to the banquet, as the eldest son, he was somewhat envious and jealous, so he didn't put much thought into the other brothers. body.

"Eighth brother is here."

The arrival of the eighth elder brother Yinhu did not arouse much reaction from the elder brothers in the room. Yinyou looked at the elder brother, and seeing his expressionless face, he knew that the elder brother didn't care about this elder brother who was raised by him. The eighth brother under his name.

"Eighth brother, please greet elder brother, third brother, fourth brother, fifth brother, and seventh brother." Yinhu saluted respectfully, her voice was soft, but cute.It's a pity that the elder brothers responded indifferently, and they didn't seem to take this eighth brother seriously.When Yinyou said hello, at least these elder brothers exchanged a few pleasantries, but the eighth elder brother didn't even greet him.

Yinyou glanced at the eighth elder brother who was standing alone in the middle of the room, and then at the fourth elder brother who was sitting beside him. After all, he just smiled at the eighth elder brother and said, "It's snowing outside and the road is not easy, the eighth elder brother Sit down." He said no more.

The eighth elder brother glanced at Yinyou, chose a lower seat to sit down, looked up at all the elder brothers in the room, and finally turned his gaze to Yinyou, and then slowly retracted his gaze.

Not long after, I saw a nanny leading the maid and eunuch into the wing room holding Brother Jiu. Yinyou looked at Brother Jiu who was being carefully served by the court lady and eunuch, and lowered his head expressionlessly.

After a while, Kangxi issued a decree for the elder brothers to have a banquet. Except for the sixth elder brother who was seriously ill, all the other elder brothers were there. Yinyou followed the fifth elder brother Yinqi without saying a word, and then joined all the elder brothers Greetings to Kangxi and the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager gave a few words to the elder brothers, each of them rewarded some gadgets and said nothing more. Kangxi asked the elder brothers to get up and ask about their daily life one by one.

"Xiaoqi, I heard that you have recently started to learn how to read, which is very good," Kangxi smiled, "Who taught you all this?"

General eunuchs in the palace are not allowed to read and write. When Yinyou heard Kangxi's question, he was startled. Is Kangxi testing himself?He quickly came to his senses, with a shy smile on his face, "Huang Ama also knows that my son is practicing calligraphy?" A child should be happy and uneasy when he hears that his respected father knows that he is diligent and studious?

"I met the prince's elder brother, third elder brother, and fourth elder brother in the garden that day. Erchen went to Tong Eniang's for some snacks. The prince's elder brother had to go back to study after eating. So Erchen was curious and pestered the four elder brothers. Brother taught me how to read." After speaking, his fingers seemed to unconsciously grab a purse hanging on his body, "I can write a lot of words."

After Kangxi listened, he nodded to the crown prince sitting under him, very relieved, "It's good to know how to take care of the younger brother, and not forgetting to study in his spare time." After speaking, he nodded to the fourth elder brother, "The fourth elder brother is young I knew it was good to take care of my younger brother." After speaking, he rewarded the two of them again, and then he tilted his head to tease Yinyou, "Then Xiaoqi, tell me, what words do you know how to write?"

Yinyou looked at Kangxi, blinking his big black and white eyes, "Many, many, Tong Erniang, De Erniang, and the fourth brother all said that I am very smart."

"Oh?" Hearing the child showing off like this, the smile on the corner of Kangxi's mouth became more obvious, and he asked the eunuch beside him to move a small table with paper and pens on it, "Then you write a few words for Huang Ama, If the writing is good, how about Huang Ama rewarding you and the fourth elder brother with a set of calligraphy?"

Yinyou buried his head in thought for a while, and asked a little embarrassedly, "If the writing is good, we can also reward Tong Erniang for his virtue, Erniang, and Erniang's elder brother and third elder brother?"

Kangxi lowered his eyelids slightly, and quickly asked with a smile, "Your fourth brother taught you how to read, why should you reward other people?"

Yinyou puffed up his face, "Do you have to say it?"

Kangxi nodded, "Don't you want me to reward them?"

Yinyou seemed to accept his fate, and said with his fingers, "Tong Erniang gave Erchen a lot of delicious snacks, and she was very good to Erchen. And De Erniang also gave Erchen delicious snacks, and returned them to my son. Erchen has embroidered purses, which are very pretty." After speaking, he showed off the two purses hanging from his waist, "One is given by De Erniang, and the other is made by Erniang for me. "

The surrounding concubines laughed softly when they heard this, and some praised Yinyou for their filial piety, Tong Jia's face also showed a smile, and even the concubine De, who was in a bad mood because of the sixth elder brother's illness, also showed a hint of A shallow smile.

The Empress Dowager was also amused when she heard it, and beckoned Yinyou to come forward, glanced at the two little purses, and nodded with a smile, "Well, they are beautiful, and they are all handy, Su Ma, go to the Ai family's house and put the The three bolts of silk and satin I got were given to the three empresses, and when they were free, I asked them to embroider two purses for Ai's family. Ai's family is getting old and their eyesight is not good, so why don't they just hope for some loving people to help Ai's family? Are you at home?" After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand to pinch Yinyou's white and tender face, "You child remembers the goodness of the girls, and is a filial one."

Kangxi narrowed his eyes and saw two purses with a white and fat rabbit embroidered on one and a puppy embroidered on the other. They were just things that children like, but seeing Yinyou showing off, he was in a good mood. It's getting better and better.

Several concubines who were rewarded hurriedly said they didn't dare, stood up and saluted to thank them, and then sat down under the envious gazes of all the concubines.

Yinyou just smiled foolishly and let the Empress Dowager pinch her face. After the Empress Dowager retracted her hand, she took off the purse embroidered with the little white rabbit and put it in the Empress Dowager's palm, "Yinyou heard the fourth brother tell a story The story says that the little white rabbit is the pet of Fairy Chang'e, and the Empress Dowager is so beautiful, then Yinyou will give you the little white rabbit." After finishing speaking, he looked at the chubby little rabbit reluctantly.

Although the Empress Dowager was the most honorable woman in the Qing Dynasty, she was naturally happy when a child who was only three years old said she was beautiful, so she put Yinyou in her arms and rubbed her.Most three-year-old children like to hide their favorite things. Yinyou is a child. Hearing that she likes purses, he gave her his own. The empress dowager loved it, so she asked Su Ma to reward Yinyou with a lot of things that children like, obviously in a good mood.

Seeing that the Empress Dowager was happy, Kangxi became more friendly towards Yinyou, and after Yinyou stepped back from the Empress Dowager, he asked, "Then why do you want me to reward the Crown Prince and the third elder brother?"

Yinyou said very seriously, "The first time I saw Tong Eniang was the elder brother of the prince who took me there, and the third brother gave me a purse with delicious candies in it."

"I see that you like the candy in the purse of the third child, I understand, Xiaoqi, you are a greedy little pig," Kangxi said with a loud smile, "Well, if you write well today, the emperor Let Ama reward you together."

"Xie Huang Ama," Yinyou leaned over the small table, dipped a brush in ink, and wrote it down stroke by stroke. Everyone present was curious about how many words a three-year-old child could write.

When he took Kangxi to get the words written by Yinyou, he suddenly laughed, and saw the five characters Huang Ama Wanfu written crookedly on the paper. To the eunuch beside him, "Go, show everyone what Xiao Qi wrote."

After a while, the concubines laughed at the banquet, making the children under the throne blush from face to neck.

Tong Jiashi took the paper from Concubine Yi, seeing the crooked characters with missing strokes and few strokes, she couldn't help covering the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief and laughing, "My child, how could this be written? Look, it's clearly the kitten's scribbling."

Concubine Yi has a bright temper, and she smiled when she heard the words, "Sister, don't make fun of me, my sister looks good, and the three characters of Huang Ama are quite neatly written. It seems that Seventh Brother must practice these three characters often." After speaking, he himself laughed too.

The handwriting was passed around and returned to Kangxi. Kangxi asked the eunuch to put away the handwriting, "Okay, Xiaoqi can indeed write, but I'm afraid this handwriting must be practiced, Yinzhen, in the future you have to treat this younger brother Be stricter." After speaking, he rewarded those people Yinyou just mentioned.

After Yinyou took his seat, he could still hear the laughter of the concubines. He sat on the side with a blushing face, but secretly sighed in his heart that this move was dangerous.Writing words like that is nothing more than making people think that they are young and ignorant. If they really write neatly and neatly, even if they are not destined to be a great treasure, they will become a thorn in their eyes.The people in the palace died early because of early wisdom. He flattered Tong Jiashi because of Kangxi's respect and love for Tong Jiashi, and the De concubine must not be ignored. How can such a skill be underestimated, what's more, she will be the lord of the Yonghe Palace in the future, and the concubine Cheng is still living in the wing of the Yonghe Palace.

The crown prince should not be offended. Now in the eyes of Kangxi, the crown prince is his smartest son. He will not be so stupid as to say that the crown prince is not good. This is not only harming himself, but also harming the fourth elder brother.

After Yinyou withdrew, Kangxi praised the third elder brother and fifth elder brother several times, and asked the third elder brother to compose a poem and bestowed many things before letting the third elder brother retire.

Everyone's attention was on the third elder brother.

No matter how funny the seventh elder brother with a disability is, it can't compare to the third elder brother who ranks high.

Yinzhen who was sitting on the table looked at Yinyou and saw Yinyou smirking at him, so he lowered his head and thought, handwriting is so ugly and he still shows it to make others laugh. He's stupid and embarrassing.
