Guoluo Luo's in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 18 Peanut Crisp

After chatting with Wu Yashi, everything else became unimportant.Ignoring nobleman Nala’s stare like wanting to eat people, Wan Zhao dragged Zhao Jia into the chatting mode without any pressure, and the topics were one after another, from fashionable satin to the newly made purse, just like The neighbors are like the aunts who have nothing to do on weekdays, and they are almost eating melon seeds and drinking tea.

Because it's a family banquet, the rules are not so strict, at least Concubine Hui can still talk to the elder brother from time to time, and occasionally touch his smooth forehead, showing a loving mother's feeling.The elder brother Baoqing was not raised in the palace, because in the past, most of the princes and daughters of Kangxi died young. In order to raise the children, Kangxi selected a few ministers to send the princes there. When they grow up to a certain age When she was picked up again, Baoqing would be raised in Nalan Mingzhu's home.However, although mother and son cannot see each other for a long time, the nature of mother and son cannot be separated by time.

Compared with Baoqing who was with Erniang, the little prince was much more lonely.His biological mother passed away early, and although he, Khan Ama, took care of him both as a father and a mother, the care of his mother was what the little prince had always longed for.Although Empress Xiaozhao wanted to have a good relationship with him, the prince himself didn't like this stepmother. Although he kept calling her "Emperor Mother", in the heart of the prince, he never regarded Empress Xiaozhao as his stepmother.Now seeing his eldest brother, who has been competing with him for Khan Ama's attention, by his mother's side, the little prince is naturally very envious.

"Why does Baocheng have such a puffy face? Could it be that someone is not serving you attentively?" The Empress Dowager touched the Prince's small face, "The Ai family felt that they had lost a lot of weight, and the people around you didn't take good care of you." Tonic?"

"Mother Ukuma, Baocheng is fine." The crown prince said with his head lowered while wringing his fingers, "That's right, Baocheng misses my mother..."

The Empress Dowager sighed and touched the top of Baocheng's head.The empress dowager on the side probably also heard the prince's words, and followed suit with a soft "ah".

The little prince blinked and let the empress dowager hug him obediently, but his eyes were looking straight at the position of nobleman Shu.It seemed that he hadn't eaten peanut crisps for a long time, the little prince licked his lips, he had to tell Khan Ama tonight, the promise would be delivered every five days, and he couldn't keep his word!

Wan Zhao, who was happily chatting with Zhao Jiashi, shivered inexplicably.

That night, just after he recovered from his illness and had a very good relationship with Kangxi, Prince Baocheng acted like a baby and asked Kangxi to ask Shugui to continue sending peanut cakes.

Only when Wan Zhao received the notice from Wu Shulai did she realize that she hadn't delivered anything to Qianqing Palace for a long time.It's no wonder that Wanzhao is forgetful, the childbirth, confinement, the Queen Mother's birthday and the smallpox outbreak in the palace more or less took away most of her attention.After people sent Wu Shulai away, Wan Zhao called Grandma Wang and told her to remember to make peanut cakes. Then, thinking that it was the time to eat walnuts, she might as well make more walnut cakes. Brain-intensive, walnuts are the most nourishing.

So in the past few days, apart from the green jade bean cakes and jujube yam cakes that are often prepared, the Wanzhao Palace has also begun to be filled with the aroma of walnut cakes.In addition to supplying to the Qianqing Palace, Wanzhao also had someone send it to Concubine Yi to taste. Anyway, eating walnuts should be good for the development of the fetus.

But only seven or eight days of such a comfortable life have passed. On this day Wanzhao chatted with Yipin about embroidery, and when he was talking happily, a piece of bad news came: the elder brother Wanfu from nobleman Nala Nope, only four years old.Noble Nala cried like a weeping man, but he couldn't save his child's life.

"A good elder brother, how can he be gone if he is gone?" Wan Zhao sighed.

"That child has been weak since he was young, and he managed to stand upright and grow up. A wind and cold took his life. It's really a trick of luck." Yipin rubbed her belly, "Nala The nobleman is still pregnant with one, if you can't think about it, it will be terrible."

This is probably the meaning of the so-called "one word into a proverb". It is said that she was eight months pregnant, and the nobleman Nala gave birth to an elder brother prematurely because of overthinking.Although it is something to be happy about, the little brother is not physically strong. Mrs. Nala is thinking about the matter of Wan Yu, and she often sheds tears when she is confinement, and she cannot control herself. The problem, this is another story.

With this lesson from Noble Nala, Wanzhao valued Yipin's child even more, and tried every means to make Yipin happy.She was really worried that her sister had accidentally suffered from prenatal depression or something, that was no joke.

"Stop hanging around me these days, Xiaoliu wants you to watch." Seeing Wanzhao fearing that she would be affected by the matter of accepting a nobleman, Yipin changed ways to make her happy every day, and felt very warm in her heart. , and said, "Don't worry, the matter of Noble Nala will not affect me, and I'm not so weak that I'm frightened."

Wan Fu was taken care of by Concubine Duan, but this matter cannot be blamed on Concubine Duan. After all, everyone in the palace knew that Wan Fu was in poor health, and he was accustomed to minor illnesses and pains on weekdays. Who knew that a cold would kill him What about your life?If you really want to blame this matter, I'm afraid many people will be implicated.Yipin has served Kangxi for so many years, so she naturally knew that Kangxi would not take his anger out on others.As for Noble Nala, now that she has another son, she naturally has hope to live on.

Without a four-year-old son, Kangxi was also very sad.After all, he is only 26 years old, this age is probably a father who is a new father in modern times, but Kangxi has experienced the pain of bereavement many times, especially the son who lost this time is the son who finally grew up, Kangxi's The mood can be imagined.

"Your Majesty, the prince is back." Wu Shulai saw Kangxi staring at the first page of the memorial in his hand for a long time, and it happened that the prince came back from class, so he simply interrupted Kangxi's contemplation, and said softly, "The prince is outside the palace now. , Waiting to greet the emperor."

"Let him in." Kangxi put down the memorial in his hand and said.

It seemed to be snowing outside, and Kangxi saw the traces of snow melting on his precious son's shoulders, so he asked Wu Shulai to bring a new piece of clothes for Baocheng to change into, before starting the day's homework and prince training.Baocheng also knew that he was unhappy because of his concubine's brother's death, so he worked extra hard to express himself, and finally made Kangxi smile.

"Is Khan Ama still sad?" The little prince asked when he saw Khan Ama laughing.

Kangxi didn't answer the baby son's question directly, but just touched his forehead and asked someone to take out the pastry.The Imperial Dining Room has recently conceived a lot of fresh food, especially the seven emerald soup that Kangxi likes the most, paired with the walnut cake sent by Wanzhao, the taste is absolutely unique.

"My son still thinks peanut crisps are better." The crown prince never pays attention to "eating without talking" when eating dim sum with Kangxi, maybe because he is too young and Kangxi can't bear to scold him, or because Kangxi enjoys this kind of father-son relationship, so The little prince always liked to say a few words when eating dim sum with Kangxi, "I heard that the walnut cake is specially made for Khan Ama, does Khan Ama like it?"

"I like it." It's not that the Yushanfang has never delivered peanut crisps and walnut crisps, but he and Baocheng think that the ones made by Yuanhedian are delicious, so they just wait for Wanzhaoqian to deliver them, and the Yushanfang only Do other food, "He Dezhu told me that some of your teeth are starting to hurt. You can't eat these peanut cakes and candy cakes in the days to come."

"My son knows." Baocheng flattened his lips, but agreed.Knowing how to control can last a long time, and you can't ruin the way to eat peanut cakes in the future because of a momentary greed.

Kangxi took a sip of milk tea, smiled and said nothing.His precious son can't eat it, it doesn't mean he can't eat it, the food will be delivered as usual in the future, just don't ask Wu Shu to send it to the Prince's Palace.But when he thinks of Peanut Crisp, Kangxi thinks of Wanzhao; when he thinks of Wanzhao, he thinks of Yipin, the only pregnant woman in the palace. If Yipin gives birth to an elder brother for him this time, then this will be his No. 13 sons.No matter how many of those children survived, such an increasingly large royal bloodline must be named well.The two names of Baoqing and Baocheng are too common, and now is the time to name a few children.
