Emperor Tong's Concubine Tong in Qing Dynasty

When Yang Dan said this, he was not joking at all. After he came out of Shisanjia, he packed his bags and saluted, and then came to Qianqing Palace and told Kangxi that he wanted to go to Jiangnan.

The Yamen of the General Administration Department in the south of the Yangtze River did find out something, and Kangxi let him go to the south of the Yangtze River without thinking too much.

Tian Mi, who received the report from the fourth elder brother, wanted to drag this kid back after hearing it.But there is no way, Tian Mi counted with her fingers, it’s okay, after more than 100 years, it’s normal for people to get married at the age of 40 or [-], and she also opposes young people getting married too early, this kid is only in his twenties. Could keep him running for a few more years.

However, Tian Mi was still dissatisfied with Yang Dan going to the south of the Yangtze River at this time. It is already winter, and many people think that the south is warm in winter, but the place where Jinling is located is wet and cold in winter.

It's better to stay in the north, and go to the south of the Yangtze River to suffer at this time.

That's because it's winter now, and the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and there are more people buying new year's goods on the street.The taste of the year is getting stronger and stronger.

There are not too many festivals to meet relatives in a year, and because of the restrictions of transportation and communication and many other reasons, it is very grand to be able to see relatives and friends and celebrate with relatives.And because during the year, delicious food and good clothes are exchanged, not only children are looking forward to the New Year, but even adults are looking forward to the New Year.

There are many rules around the Chinese New Year, such as eating Laba porridge from Laba.It is not enough to just drink porridge, but also put some carved things in it.

In these folk palaces, the rules have become more special. In order to show grace, the palace has to give Laba porridge outside.It's winter, even if it's just out of the pan and delivered to the prince's residence, it's already completely cold by now.

It can be eaten if it is hot, and the taste is not as good as when it was just out of the pan.But decades have passed like this, and these princes will not say much.

After drinking the cold Laba porridge at home, I have to go to the palace to give thanks.It wasn't a big deal, Kangxi didn't see them, these princes brought Fujin directly to Tian Mi to thank the emperor.

Now most of the princes are married, and those under fifteen are still bachelors.Every time these married couples enter the palace, they must bring a few children with them.There was a lively scene in Laba on this day. After the families went back, Tian Mi felt that she had been troubled by these children, so she had a bowl of porridge with preserved egg and lean meat for dinner.

Now Tian Mi finds that her taste is getting stronger and stronger, she doesn't like the sweet ones very much, especially the salty ones.Whether it's from one's own daily life, or from one's own body functions, or one's own taste... From any aspect, I am already old.

It is an indisputable fact, and there is nothing to be said but a sigh.

In the evening, Honghui had dinner with her. Tian Mi avoided showing such disappointment in front of her children, so she forced herself to finish eating happily, and asked someone to clean up the tableware, holding a teacup to talk with Honghui.Honghui hesitated and said that he would not come over at night in the future.

After all, he is already an older child, so he doesn't need to stare at him like he did when he was a child. Tian Mi didn't think too much about it, and just asked a casual question. "Why didn't you come? Did your master give you too much homework?"

Hong Hui shook his head, looked around and looked around, hesitant to speak, Tian Mi knew that there was something to say, and after sending him off, he asked him in a low voice: "What's the matter? What's wrong with me? Haven't been able to tell before?"

"After this story was told, people were ashamed and flustered. Grandson also heard from others." Hong Hui got off the kang and sat next to Tian Mi, "Grandson heard people say that the second uncle and the concubine in the palace are a bit..."

Having said this, she paused for a while, Tian Mi was not stupid, she suddenly understood.

At this time, he turned his head and looked at Hong Hui, "Who did you hear this from?"

"I didn't hear anyone else say it with my own ears. It was my grandson who listened to a few court ladies. Besides, my grandson is getting older and older, and it's not suitable for me to run into the harem every day. Otherwise, my grandson will move back to the palace. I heard that the Ministry of Internal Affairs has arranged a yard for Uncle Sixteen, and Uncle Sixteen will move out in a few years. We are about the same age, and my grandson has no reason to continue to live.”

"Since you have such an idea, let me arrange it, but let's forget it before the year, and find a chance to let you move out after the year."

Tian Mi manages the entire court. If something like this happens, Tian Mi must take care of it.

After Honghui left, Tian Mipo couldn't wait to call the court ladies and eunuchs who were in charge of the harem over, and told them to pay attention to this kind of gossip.

Tian Mi herself does not believe that the prince can do such an ugly thing. After all, she has been the prince for so long. She has received strict education since she was a child. Confucian education pays attention to etiquette, integrity and shame. Tian Mi did not believe that he would do such a thing as a pig or a dog.

I'm afraid some people can't sit still, and feel that the old man is too slow in abolishing the prince, and want to add fuel to the flames.Since ancient times, there are some things that princes must not get involved in, and that is the secret history of the palace. Once a certain prince has some scandalous rumors, that person's future is already doomed.

Chengqian Palace is brightly lit at night, and the stewards from all over the palace come and go.Shisi saw such a scene when he came out of the Yonghe Palace, and couldn't help asking the people around him: "What's the matter, why is it so lively?"

The eunuch next to him replied: "Isn't the New Year coming soon? I think the empress will personally inquire about the arrangements for the New Year this year, so that everyone can have a lively New Year."

Another eunuch next to him said: "It's true. Although the empress was in charge of it in previous years, the name was not right at that time. It's not like this year. This year must be lively."

Fourteen also accepted this statement, and took a few eunuchs out of the palace. Seeing that he didn't go outside the palace, but turned around to go to Elder Brother's house, the eunuchs reminded him to leave the palace right now. , If you go out late, you won't be able to go out.

Fourteen has been living outside the palace recently, and he also has family members outside, because he has not lived in the palace for many years, and some younger brothers have grown up and need to be moved to elder brother's house, his yard It has long been freed up for other people to use.That is to say, there is no place to live if I stay today, unless I squeeze with others.

Fourteen didn't take it seriously, and directly found Fifteen's courtyard. Fifteen was about to move out, but it was not suitable for moving during the period before the year, and this was also his last year in the palace.

Although Fifteen was younger than Fourteen, some thoughts had already begun to move. When Fourteen came over, he was eyeing his maid.So when Shisi entered, he found the atmosphere awkward. He also realized that he had disturbed the younger brother's good business, so he joked and went to Shiliu next door.

Sixteen, after drinking and eating, spread out his limbs and lay on the kang, coaxed by the warm heat, staring dazedly and wanting to sleep.

Shisi didn't let the eunuch inform him, so he quietly went to Shiliu's bedroom, saw Shiliu's appearance, went to him and sat down on the kang, and found a pottery lychee on the kang table.

Lifting the stem of the lychee with my hand, I found that it was empty and contained tea leaves, which turned out to be a tea caddy.This lychee is very realistic, its appearance is delicate and small, its color is very similar to that of a real lychee, and it still has that uneven texture to the touch.

Shisiyi couldn't put it down for a while, and Shiliu had already noticed his arrival, so he turned over and sat up and asked, "Why did Brother Fourteen come to my place?"

"I wanted to go out of the palace, but I can't go out now, so I came here to have a look. Can you take brother in for a night?"

Fourteen felt that as long as he said it out, Sixteen would keep him no matter what he said, but Shiliu looked embarrassed, "This... If my brother came and said earlier, my brother would definitely stay here to accompany him, but today I am going to Shiliu Where is my brother. If my brother wants to stay, just stay here. My brother will not be with you tonight."

"Why do you go to Seventeen? Are you drinking and gambling at night? Take me with you. I haven't had a drink with you for a long time."

"No, it's the seventeenth brother whose mother-in-law has been ill recently. He wanted to pick up the books, but the servants around him couldn't read, so he invited me and Hong Hui to flip through the books with him." Sixteen I was particularly worried that Shisi would go with me, and everyone didn't know each other well. After going, the atmosphere would be very awkward, but I was afraid that this brother would think too much, so he quickly added, "We are going to stay up all night. Brother, if you go, it may affect the situation." You rest, or you'd better stay with me and sleep all night."

After hearing this, Shisi really didn't want to go, but Shiliu wasn't here, so it wouldn't be interesting to live alone.

Considering that Seventeen, Honghui, and Sixteen are together, it might be more lively if there are more people.Eighteen is too young, and I can't speak a few words with him, so it's better to pick up books with those three people.So I volunteered to pick up books with them.

This time Shiliu really had nothing to say, the four gathered in Shiqi's yard, Shiqi said a few polite words, then moved out the book, and put a candle in front of each of them.

Everyone buried their heads in the pages of the book, and after a while, a eunuch came over and urged them to go to bed early.

"Masters, you still have to study tomorrow. The master has been very strict recently. If the gentlemen fall asleep in the study again, the masters will sue the emperor."

Shi Qi was anxious at this moment, and he didn't care about it at all. Honghui and Shi Liu yawned so much that they couldn't keep their eyelids open after a while.

Looking at the words on these books, the more I looked at them, the more I felt unfamiliar. After staring at them for a while, I found that I was still staring at the page just now.

The eunuchs who were serving at the side also found that they could not keep their eyes open, so they advised them to go to sleep.

Shi Qi couldn't bear it any longer. He turned to look at the others, and told them to go to bed first, and read the book for a while.

Honghui couldn't stand it any longer, and fell asleep lying on the table. Several eunuchs supported him and put him on the kang.

Shiliu couldn't take it anymore, he waved his hand to prevent the eunuch from supporting him, stood up unsteadily, said something, and ran to sleep.

The place he went was the place prepared for Honghui. After seeing Honghui fell asleep, he didn't take off his shoes. He lay on the kang and waited for the eunuch to pull his shoes off. In Honghui's bed, the two uncles and nephews were sound asleep.

Fourteen put down the book and rubbed his temples, "Don't worry, your mother is just suffering from a cold occasionally, don't take it to heart. You see that your eyes are black and blue from the last few days, your mother must feel distressed when she sees it." .”

Having said that, these imperial physicians in the palace really dare not make people feel at ease.Shi Qi thought that his mother-in-law was not favored, and he had no ability, these imperial doctors were somewhat inferior, what if they didn't care about Er's mother's condition?How many serious illnesses are caused by these minor illnesses.

But I also admit that Fourteen is right. At this time, I can no longer treat myself like a candle and burn both ends.Otherwise, he would fall down by then, who would worry about Er Niang?

"It's too late, let's go to bed too, brother, the room is ready, Brother Fourteen, come with me."

The yard was originally not big, and the best yard was the bedroom of these brothers. Shiqi gave up his bedroom to Shishi, thought about it, and turned to the room where Shiliu and Honghui lived.

He didn't have time to wash his face and feet. After taking off his shoes, he asked someone to take a quilt to cover him. He only had time to order the eunuch to heat up the kang, and he wanted to order other things, but he was extremely tired and fell asleep caught.

At three o'clock in the morning, when the three were still sleeping, the eunuchs came and woke them up. They still had to study today, but the three felt that their heads were so heavy that they couldn't even get up.

Shiliu didn't want to go to school, so he writhed in the bed a few times, and said to the eunuch outside: "Let's just say that the master has caught a cold these two days, let the teachers be more accommodating, and let the master recuperate for two more days."

His eunuch was a little embarrassed, "If the other two masters say so, the masters still believe it, you have already asked for leave three times this month. The master doesn't believe it anymore, you should get up quickly."

Honghui got up staggeringly. He also felt that he didn't get enough sleep. He didn't know how he woke up. Anyway, when he woke up completely, his clothes were put on and his braids were combed. He just needed to lift his legs and walk. .

Shi Qi struggled to get up, and was suddenly sobered by the cold wind outside.

The two turned their heads to look at Sixteen. Sixteen were awake, but they didn't want to come out.

Honghui advised him to get up quickly, otherwise the master would blow his beard and stare again if he was late for a while.

But Shiliu is a hob meat, he just can't get up, "Leave me alone, you just don't know that I won't get up today, and let the eunuch next to me ask for leave later, if the master is willing to accommodate me, I will sleep One day, if the master is not accommodating, at worst, he will sue Huang Ama and let the old man beat me up. Let me tell you two, even if there is a knife in the sky, I will not go."

These two people had no choice but to persuade Shiliu no matter what, seeing that time was running out and it was really too late, the two hurried out together.

As soon as the two of them left, most of the servants in the yard took away. I heard that Shiwu also got up, and because he got up a little late, he also left in a hurry at the moment. Sixteen was completely relieved.After all, if Shiwu heard that his younger brother was not going to go to school, he might kill him and lift the quilt and drag him outside into the cold wind.

Therefore, in order to avoid being dragged out of school by his own brothers, and to make this incident more realistic, Elder Sixteen asked all the eunuchs around him to go back, "When you go back, be careful to avoid Elder Fifteen and his eunuchs." Man, don't let him know, let's make another arrangement by the way, Grandpa is going to recuperate today."

Shiliu lay on the kang, thinking happily: As long as Brother Shiwu arrives in the study, it will be useless even if he finds out that he didn't go to school, and he can't come back to wake himself up.

He decided to take a nap and eat something later, and he must sleep until noon today.

But before that, I still have to do some camouflage. Sixteen asked the eunuch next to him to borrow a piece of Luozidai from his mother-in-law. Later, he was going to get some black and blue marks on his face. If Brother Fifteen came back Well, if I pretend to be listless, I can definitely hide it.

As for the imperial hospital, you just need to let the eunuch go over to say hello, and then bring a bowl of medicine, whether you drink it or not, put it on the table, and the room smells of medicine, which is more realistic. up.

He had already figured out a plan, sent people away, stretched out on the kang, put the quilt over his head, and prepared to sleep for a while.

But after covering his head with the quilt, he realized that the quilt smelled like feet.Shiliu resolutely refused to admit that the smell of his feet was his own, "This kid Honghui is really too, why are his feet so smelly?"

He threw the quilt aside, turned around and covered his body with the quilt that Brother Seventeen was covering just now.

I closed my eyes and fell asleep for a while, in a drowsy sleep, I heard someone talking in the corridor.

"I heard that this purse was rewarded by the inner palace." The voice was very unfamiliar, and Elder Sixteen thought he had never heard it before.

Then I heard Fourteen say: "It should be the fabric used by the women in the harem."

The voice said just now: "I'm afraid the Seventeenth Lord got it from the nobles in the harem."

Seventeen's mother-in-law is a noble person, and it is very common to make a purse for her son.There was no sound in the yard, and Shiliu didn't pay attention to it, and fell asleep in a hazy state of consciousness.

When he woke up again, it was already high in the sun, Shiliu wobbled out of bed, went back to his yard for lunch, just sat in the yard basking in the sun for a while, when he saw his eunuch running over.

"The fifteenth master is here, and he looks angry. Do you want to hide?"

When Shiliu heard this, he hurried back to the bedroom, took off his clothes, drew the borrowed Luo Zidai under his eyes a few times, and rubbed them vigorously.Then he looked at the eunuch with a look of anger.

"What do you think~ Lord looks like this~ How do you look?" The eunuch nodded with a weak look inside and out of the words, "It should be possible to hide the fifteenth master from the past."

Shiliu then ordered weakly, "You let someone~ hurry~ to heat the kang, and then cover me with an extra quilt, as long as ~ let you Shiwuye~~ see my whole body~ sweating, he will definitely believe it."

When the fifteenth elder brother rushed in, he saw his younger brother lying on the kang as if he was dying, reaching out his hand to touch his forehead, it was scalding hot.Smelling the smell of medicine in the room again, and seeing the black and blue on his face, my heart suddenly skipped a beat.

"What's wrong with you?"

In order to cope with his brother's inspection, Shiliu ate all the dry food today and did not drink any water. His mouth was already a little cracked in winter, and if he licked it vigorously, it would become even more cracked when he saw the cold wind.

This person is a patient, so he signaled the eunuch with his eyes, and the eunuch had no choice but to help out, "I read the book for half the night yesterday, and the wind and evil entered the body, so I woke up early this morning and fell ill."

Fifty-one stomped anxiously, "You are too, why don't you know how to wear a cloak. Besides, why don't you guys sit on the kang to read? You deserve the cold."

After speaking, she hurriedly stood up, walked back and forth in front of Shiliu's bed several times, rubbed her hands, "Did you tell Erniang about your illness?"

The mother in their mouths is the secret concubine, and the secret concubine has had a hard time recently.She was presented by Li Xu, and Li Xu was involved with the eighth elder brother, so the secret concubine did not dare to stand out for a while.

Sixteen shook his head, and Fifteen felt relieved, "Your illness is not considered a serious illness, you should recover from your illness first, and don't tell Er Niang about this beforehand, or she will always miss you. I will go to Yanan Xigong asked Tong Erniang for some supplements, and asked someone to stew it for you and drink it first. This disease, three-part cure and seven-point cure, don't worry, I will go to the study tomorrow and tell the master to let you take care of it for a while. There is no rush for homework."

After finishing speaking, he went out in a hurry, and when he was sure that Fifteen was gone, Sixteen sat up and got off the bed triumphantly, "See? I tricked Brother Fifteen over there, and finally there is no need to wake up early in the morning in such a cold day." Going to study, it’s really great to be able to rest like this tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or even the day after tomorrow.”

The eunuch has a bitter face, you can hide for a day or two and forget it. You have been hiding for a long time and you have alarmed all the empresses in the palace. When the time comes, the empress will ask someone to check the prescription prescribed by the imperial physician. You can't be fooled with your current appearance. of.

"Master, if Tong Niangniang knows about it, it means that the Empress Dowager knows about it. If the Empress Dowager Tong knows about it, maybe the Emperor will know about it too, and there will be no way to hide it."

"Look at your guts. Do you want to pretend to be ill for a lifetime? It's only two or three days. It's okay, coward, don't be afraid."

Shiliu insisted that it was the courageous ones who starved to death and the timid ones who died of starvation. As long as he pretended to be sick for two days, he would have two days of good life.

After thinking of this, he lay back on the bed, opened his mouth, asked the eunuch to break up the snacks and feed them to himself, humming a little song happily.Is there anything more beautiful than lying in a warm bed in winter?

No, absolutely not.

After a while, another eunuch hurried in from outside the door, "Master, I saw the sedan chair of the empress of Yanxi Palace coming this way, and Lord Fifteen followed. Maybe he invited the empress here." ".

Sixteenth elder brother was very calm, "Don't be afraid, how you fooled fifteenth brother just now, now you are perfunctory empress".

Not long after, Tong Pin was helped out of the sedan chair by the fifteenth elder brother, and the two hurried to the bedroom. Seeing Shiliuyi's angry look, Tong Pin was frightened and at a loss what to do.

Brother Sixteen saw the two of them coming in, and struggled to get up from the bed, with a veil still on his forehead, he yelled twice in an extremely weak voice, "Er Niang~ Er Niang~ is here."

Tong Pin was terrified at this moment, "Didn't your brother say that you had a cold? Why did you become like this?" The illness looked like it was a near death, it didn't look like a cold.

After Shiliu heard this, he thought in his heart: Is it possible to pretend too much?

Tong Pin hurriedly stretched out her hand to lift Shiliu's quilt, and touched his back vest.

When their brothers were young, they couldn't tell whether they were hot or cold, Tong Bin always judged whether they needed more or less clothes.

But now that the two brothers are already big children, Shiliu weakly yelled not to let Er Niang touch his vest, "My son is going to marry a wife, don't treat him like a child, cough cough cough..."

Because the kang was relatively hot and the quilt was thicker, Shiliu was sweating all over, Tong Pin scratched his back and found it was slippery.Hearing him coughing here again made me even more frightened.

Concubine Tong was terrified, "Why are you still coughing? It's okay. Let me tell you that coughing should not be regarded as a minor illness. If it drags on for a long time, it will be like the empress. Fifteen, which imperial doctor took the pulse for this kid?" , call someone over."

Fifteen agreed and went out. When Shiliu saw it, it was broken, and he really had put on too much.

But he has a solution. When he sent people to his hospital to get the medicine, he had already made an agreement with the imperial doctor.At this time, he nodded to his eunuch, and the eunuch knew what it meant, made a gesture to reassure Shiliu, and then went out.

Concubine Tong raised these three sons. Now one is lying on the bed and the other is running around outside. Considering that Thirteen is also in poor health in winter, she couldn't help crying with her eyes burning.

Shiliu panicked when he saw it, "Emiang, don't cry, you cry, son... son is not bad. Don't cry, people think that the son is going to serve the ancestors soon, please don't cry." do not Cry."

Concubine Tong quickly wiped away her tears.

"Your thirteenth brother hasn't been in the palace for a long time. Has it been a long time since you brothers talked together? I'll ask someone to invite him over, so we can sit and talk together."

After finishing speaking, he gave some instructions in the ear of the maid, who nodded and went out.

I didn't expect Shisan to come very quickly. He heard that Shiliu was sick, so he hurried to the palace on horseback. Although his legs hurt especially in winter, it will be more painful when it is cloudy. , has little effect on walking.

He hurried to Shiliu's yard with a whip in his hand, and happened to meet Shiwu who brought the imperial physician over.

Brother Fifteen also knew about Thirteen's legs, so he stepped forward to support his hand, "I didn't expect that Shiliu's illness would alarm you too, and I didn't live up to my expectations after reading the book for half the night yesterday. .Your brother is supporting you, please slow down."

"You don't need to hold on, it's not like I can't move. I read half the night yesterday? Why did I hear that I still have a cough?"

Thirteen came rushing to the ground because of this incident. In the palace, everyone knew that coughing was not a minor illness. Just looking at the sufferings the empress had suffered in recent years, one knew what was going on.Once you cough, take medicine quickly, especially for those female relatives, who have to boil some brown sugar pear water to nourish their lungs in winter.

A group of people arrived in the bedroom, the imperial doctor felt his beard and felt his pulse for a while, then shook his head and began to recite the medical book, Tong Pin's brain hurt from memorizing it.

Thirteen and Fifteen couldn't help but look at each other after hearing this.It just so happened that Honghui, Shiqi and Shiba rushed over at this time, Shiba was really anxious, Shiqi and Honghui felt that Shiliu might have pretended that this matter was caused by Shiliu, after all Shiliu was fine when they went out in the morning .

A room full of people was crowded, seeing the imperial doctor explaining and explaining, everyone was confused.

It's a pity that this room is a group of fine people, Tong Pin was fooled, but he couldn't fool these princes.

Thirteen stood up from the chair, came to Sixteen's bed, stretched out his hand to lift his quilt, and touched his armpit amidst Sixteen's gasping.

The temperature under the armpit was normal, and Fifteen knew at a glance that it was suspected that Sixteen was pretending to be sick.

At this time, Shiliu still didn't forget to pretend, he asked breathlessly with a weak look, "Brother Thirteen, what are you doing? Hurry up and let my brother cover you with a quilt, it's too cold, it's too cold... "

Concubine Tong had already stood up and pulled Shisan's clothes to prevent him from continuing to check, "Your brother is sick like this, cover him quickly, don't let him freeze again."

Fifteen and Eighteen looked at each other, and Seventeen turned around and whispered to Honghui.The eighteenth elder brother took a few steps back, left the bedroom, asked someone to fetch a basin of hot water, and took a dry cloth towel.

After soaking the cloth towel and wringing it dry, he came in with a half-dry cloth towel.

At this time, Concubine Tong was still protecting Shiliu, covering Shiliu's body tightly with the quilt. While covering the quilt, she counted Thirteen: "How can you lift the quilt of your younger brother? He is really serious right now." Sick, look at this little face..."

Shiliu was next to him, hey, hey, he looked out of breath.

Shiba walked over, holding the cloth towel, "Ma'am, his face looks black and gray, it's probably frozen, and he's sweating profusely, it must be comfortable, let's wipe him off."

Shiliu looked at the younger brother in horror, and saw his expression change. The brothers present knew what was going on. Fifteen and Thirteen nodded at the same time, walked over and held tenth brother down. six.

Shiba took a step forward, pressed the cloth towel on Shiliu's face, and rubbed it desperately a few times.

Concubine Tong still wanted to talk, but Hong Hui and Shi Qi dragged her back to the stool.After a while, Brother Shiba took off the cloth towel and saw something black on it, and looked at Shiliu again. His little face was fair and clean, without even dark circles under his eyes.

This turn of events frightened all the slaves in the house, they knelt on the ground tremblingly, and several personal eunuchs of Shiliu kowtowed like pounding garlic, begging for mercy endlessly.

Even the imperial physician knew that he had been exposed, so he hurriedly begged for mercy from the princes.

Concubine Tong was stunned by this turn of events, "What do you mean, kid, what are you trying to do?"

"He's lazy, he's stupid, he doesn't want to study." Brother Shiwu hated iron for being weak, and punched the ground a few times through the quilt.

Shiba couldn't help but look down on Shiliu, "You really are, you're still an older brother, not to mention a good example, but you're so familiar with things like this." Then he saw Hong again, standing Behind Concubine Tong's back, she couldn't help but sneered at Shiliu again, "The embarrassment is thrown in front of my nephew, you really have you."

Sixteen was not worried about embarrassing himself in front of his younger brother and nephew, but he was a little ashamed to see Concubine Tong's look of hating iron and steel, so he hurriedly covered his head with a quilt and begged for mercy in the bed, "Mother, please spare my son This time, my son won’t dare anymore, he will go to study with his master tomorrow, and he won’t dare stay in bed anymore.”

Fifteen felt that he shouldn't be spared so easily, "Emiang, he has taken sick leave several times this month, and each time he slept until the sun was high, saying that learning is like sailing against the current. He doesn't care about teaching like this. Nothing will happen in the future.”

Tong Pin nodded, "Now that he is no longer with me, you brothers are optimistic about him. If he makes such a mistake again, then we will not give him good fruit."

A group of people preached around Shiliu, making Shiliu hide in bed and reluctant to come out.

Seeing that it had been talked about for a long time, Shiliu felt that this should be over, but he did not expect that the empress would send someone over.

It was a second-class court lady who came, and she was very polite when she saw Concubine Tong, "Your Majesty heard that Lord Sixteen was ill at noon today, so she specially sent a servant over to take a look."

Everyone looked at Sixteen, they deserved it!Wait a minute and see how you explain it?

If you tell the truth, you will be ashamed.Maybe the whole palace knows, even the old man will hear about it.The old man hates the princes not studying.Maybe they drag you out and put dozens of boards on them. Don't you want to lie on the bed?Just let you lie down for ten days and half a month and not let you get up, and see if you dare to stay in bed in the future.

If you don't say it, but you can't hide this matter, if you try your best to hide it until the end, you may leave a bad impression on the old man, and dozens of boards are still inevitable.

Thirteen sighed, and looked at Sixteen: "Brother just wanted to follow up on Er Niang's words and ask you, what are you trying to do, you're being fooled by your cleverness!"

Sixteen is really clever but was mistaken by cleverness. When the news reached Kangxi, Kangxi didn't even lift his head. I've seen them a lot, and I'm no longer in the mood to ask what embarrassing things they did again.

But it is necessary to make a warning to others, and also let the little fellows below know that if they don't study hard and imitate their sixteenth brother, it will be bad luck.

So I called this group of children in front of me, and at that time I asked them to drag Shiliu out to beat dozens of boards.

The third child and the others left after watching the execution. The old man's killing chickens and respecting monkeys could not scare them. After all, this group of people stopped studying.

The younger ones were really frightened. As soon as the matter was over, they jumped up one after another, as if the board would fall on them if they ran too slowly.

And a few brothers who were about the same age as 16 squatted beside them, looking at Shiliu who was lying on the stool.

"Why do you think you are doing this?" Seventeen asked, "We must never do this again in the future."

Sixteen sighed, "This is really, I never thought it would end like this." However, after experiencing the board once, the pain is not unbearable.Let's talk about it next time, if you really can't get up and get beaten hard, you have to sleep in again.

After all, Shiwu felt sorry for his younger brother, so he went up to help him by the shoulder and asked him to carry him away. While supporting his shoulder, he couldn't help but say to him: "You are really thick-skinned, Shi Qi and Hong Hui will go After reading, you lie there, sleeping in someone's house until the sun is high..."

The speaker didn't care about the listener, but Shisi's eyes moved after listening. Just as he was about to open his mouth to speak, Shisan next to him stepped out and told the eunuchs to be gentle.

Shisi wanted to leave earlier, but he will not leave now. He followed them to Shiliu's bedroom. Thirteen followed him to work all day, and his legs felt a little uncomfortable. After talking to the people present, he left early. , fifteen, Honghui eighteen, the three followed him and sent him out of the yard.

At this time, Sixteen was still lying on the bed and screaming, Fourteen walked over and pulled a stool to sit down, "When did you wake up at Seventeen's place?"

"It's already noon. Why do you ask this?"

"It's okay, just ask." After Fourteen finished speaking, he changed the topic to Sixteen's wound, "You have been beaten hard this time, and those slaves are really cruel, they beat your ass to pieces , It is estimated that ordinary sore medicines are not effective, but I know some people, because they often practice martial arts, there are many medicines for bruises like this, I will send them to you tomorrow, use them on time, and they will recover sooner, after all, Chinese New Year is coming soon Yeah."

Sixteen is not only thick-skinned and a hob, he is also very smart. He agreed and thanked Fourteen loudly. After the others came in, Fourteen felt that there was nothing wrong with staying here, so he and The others say goodbye.

Sixteen lay on the bed stretching his neck to see Fourteen leave, and couldn't help but let out a heavy breath.

"Master, I may be involved in something."
