Retirement in Qing Chuanwen

At the beginning, Kangxi allowed the little prince to get close to Jinghao and allow Jinghao to take care of the little prince, which was due to his love for his son.

But now he regrets it, and now he loves himself even more.

If he didn't feel sorry for the little prince, it would be impossible for the little prince to come to Jingxiu Palace if he wanted to come to Jingxiu Palace; sin, once again being doubted by his son about his "ability".

Didn't it mean that children are disgusted by dogs until they are seven or eight years old?

The little prince is only six years old this year, so he has already reached this point in advance?

Kangxi thought to himself, it is true that Baocheng is his own, and it is true that he has loved him to the bone all these years, and it is even more true that he despises him so much now!

"It's fine, why don't you come to Jingxiu Palace to study in Shangshufang?" Kangxi asked with a straight face on purpose.

"Huang Ama is meal time now." The image of the heroic and mighty Huang Ama in the little prince's mind had already collapsed like a landslide when he let him down again and again.

So Kangxi asked him with a straight face on purpose, and the little prince also answered him with a straight face on purpose, as if every word was full of dissatisfaction.

"What did you come to Jingxiu Palace to eat?" Kangxi asked, "Didn't Shang Shufang prepare any meals for you?"

"Then Huang Ama, what are you doing in Jingxiu Palace again?" The little prince imitated Kangxi's tone and said, "Didn't Qianqing Palace prepare any meals for you?"

Kangxi: "..."

This little bastard wants to be beaten, right?

Jing Hao on the side looked so good that she almost fell down laughing in her heart. Ever since she knew that He Qing was Kangxi, Jing Hao didn't dare to be too presumptuous in front of him, so seeing him being choked by the little prince now, It's inevitable that Jing Hao will be a little nostalgic.

"Since you're back, let's go wash up first." Jing was afraid that Kangxi would not come down, so she stretched out her hand to hold the little prince and left first.

"Why are you looking forward to having younger brothers and sisters more than your Huang Ama?" Jinghao waited for the little prince to wash his hands, then handed him the handkerchief in his hand to wipe his hands.

"I want younger brothers and sisters." The little prince thought to himself that he finally knew what it means that the emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuchs are in a hurry. He wiped his hands and looked at Jinghao and asked her, "When will I have younger brothers and sisters?"

"Is this? It depends on fate." Jing thought that she is not a fortune teller, and she is not familiar with Guanyin, so when she will be happy, or whether she will be happy in this life, she may not know for herself .

"Can't you and Huang Ama work hard?" the little prince asked sincerely.

Jinghao: "..."

Sure enough, the wind and water turned.

When Jing Hao was watching Kangxi's excitement just now, she never thought that she would be choked by the little prince in a blink of an eye, but well, I can't say anything, because Tong Yan has no taboo.

Jing Hao thought to herself, the little prince can ask so confidently because he is not sensible now, if he thinks about this matter when he becomes sensible later, I am afraid that he will embarrass himself to death.

Of course, the premise is that the little prince still remembers this matter by then.

Now Jinghao can't tell the little prince clearly, and can only answer him vaguely: "It doesn't necessarily matter whether you work hard or not."

Some couples have obviously worked hard, but there is no result. Some people can conceive a baby only three or five times, and it is not a problem to have two children in three years.

So it's really a matter of luck.

But to be honest, Jinghao has seen a son being born by an elder, but never a father being born by a son. Did Kangxi and the little prince get the wrong script?

Jinghao smiled and brought the little prince who had washed his hands back to the main room. As soon as he sat down, Jinghao said: "It's cold now, and it's time to eat mutton. It just so happens that the prince is not good at cooking mutton in the Shangshu room." Eat it, I don’t feel like eating it by myself, so I just invite him to come over and be my company.”

Shabu-shabu has a very long history. After all, this technique is so simple that it doesn’t even need to rely on any complicated kitchen utensils. It’s just that this way of eating was not popular at the beginning.

It must be said that there is still a little difference between the ancients and the ancients, that is, the farther away from them the ancients were, the less they knew how to eat.

It’s not that they don’t know how to eat. It’s just that they don’t have that condition. At the beginning, they only boiled meat with clear water, but in the Northern Song Dynasty, the hot pot culture was already very rich, especially in the Qing Dynasty, the last feudal dynasty in Chinese history. , not only the hot pot culture is very rich, but the rest of the food culture is quite bright and charming.

Closer to home, after hearing Jinghao's explanation, the little prince glanced at Kangxi. Although he didn't say anything, the expression on his face seemed to say——

Look, look, look, he didn't come uninvited.

Kangxi: "..."

Isn't he?

Jinghao who didn't invite Kangxi: "..."

If he said no, it wouldn't be right.

Kangxi: "..."

While talking, Xiao Chenzi and the others set up the table and brought out the pot and all the ingredients.

This table is not an ordinary table, but Jing Hao imitated the sunken tables of the hot pot restaurants in later generations. When the pot is placed in the middle, it avoids the problem that the pot is too high and difficult to hold.

"This table is really well made." Kangxi praised.

Jinghao thought, it is necessary, this is made by combining the wisdom of countless working people.

Pots are no strangers to things like pots. Families of later generations will eat hot pots every winter. As for Kangxi, he has also eaten hot pots, but it is very new to the little prince.

Children are delicate beings in the palace, not to mention the little prince, so everything they eat, drink, wear, use and use has been strictly followed the rules since childhood.

And if the child is too young, it is indeed not suitable for eating hot pot. After all, his digestion ability is not that good, but now that he is six years old, he is not so careful, just don't let him eat too thick pot bottom.

So today this pot is a mandarin duck pot, one side is spicy and the other side is clear soup, Jing Hao and Kangxi can eat two pots in turn, as for the little prince?

Let him eat his consommé pot in peace.

"It's interesting to eat the pot. It's interesting to cook and eat by yourself." Jing Hao didn't let anyone serve her, and the little prince was absolutely convinced of Jing Hao's eating, so she didn't want anyone to serve her, and neither did he, so the two watched To Kangxi, who was served by a dignitary.

Kangxi: "..."

They are all like this, so why does he need someone to serve him?

"Let's all step back." Kangxi was not the kind of person who could only stretch out his clothes and open his mouth when he wanted.

So all the servants in the room withdrew, leaving only Jinghao, Kangxi and the little prince. After the little prince dipped in the sauce and ate a mouthful of freshly cooked mutton, he asked Jinghao: "Can the deer eat this?" ?”

"It's too hot, the deer can't eat it." Jing Hao said, "Don't worry, I have already fed the deer in advance."

When the little prince heard this, he immediately understood why Xiao Lu was so lazy just now, it was not because the weather was cold and he didn't like to move, but because he was full.

"That's good." The little prince can't eat too spicy, but it's really amazing to eat it with sesame sauce and coriander after being cooked with thinly sliced ​​mutton.

"You really treat Xiaolu like a younger brother." Jinghao laughed.

"Of course." The little prince blurted out, "Xiaolu is my half-brother."

As soon as the little prince said this, let alone be quiet, even Kangxi was amused by him. Since ancient times, he has never heard of any family whose brothers are half-brothers.

Of course, if this is used to express the brotherhood between each other, it is not impossible, but if Baocheng worships a small dog, isn't it equivalent to him suddenly having a dog son?

Kangxi couldn't laugh or cry.

"Not necessarily." Jinghao said suddenly.

"Huh?" The little prince looked at Jinghao curiously, and then heard her say, "You know, right? The calculation of the age of a deer is different from that of a human. Generally speaking, when a deer is one year old, it is equivalent to You are seven years old."

"...???"

"That is to say, Xiaolu is your younger brother right now, and next year it will be your older brother."

"...!!!"

"As you grow older little by little, Xiaolu will be your uncle, your uncle, and then grandpa, grandpa, etc."

"...???!!!"

The little prince, who has always believed that Xiao Lu will always be his own younger brother, was stunned when he heard Jing Hao's words.

This is this...

How can someone be older and younger?

Watching Jing Hao teasing his son so much that his little face wrinkled into a bun face with just a few words, Kangxi didn't feel bad, instead he ate and watched the fun.

Jing Hao was also narrow-minded, and while eating, she showed an expression of "Oh, what should I do" to tease the little prince.

Compared with Xiaotaizi's sauce, Jinghao has a much stronger taste, soy sauce, millet pepper rings, and chopped green onion and garlic, then poured sesame oil and chili oil, sprinkled with a layer of fried sesame seeds and crushed peanuts, and finally put The cooked food is sandwiched with coriander dipping sauce. No kidding, every bite is enjoyable.

Unlike Jinghao and the little prince, Kangxi really doesn’t like coriander. Although it’s not so bad that it’s uncomfortable to smell it, when making dipping sauce for himself, he completely avoids the option of coriander. of.

Although it is said to be hot-boiled mutton, Jing Hao didn't really only have mutton prepared. In addition, there were other ingredients, such as duck blood, tripe, lettuce, bean sprouts, soft tofu, and so on.

Not to mention, although the meat is more expensive than the vegetarian ones, vegetarian dishes like soft tofu and bean sprouts have a special taste when eaten like this.

The two unscrupulous adults, Jinghao and Kangxi, had a good time eating, but after hearing what Jinghao said, the little prince no longer had any taste for delicacies from mountains and seas.

How can there be such a thing in the world.

A younger brother is a younger brother, how can he become an older brother in the blink of an eye?Not to mention that he will become an elder in the future, so where can he reason for a man who is going to be a brother for the rest of his life?

……

After eating and drinking enough, the little prince did not leave. Fortunately, when Jing was in the small courtyard, because there were not many houses, even if the little prince wanted to take a nap, he could only make do on the couch, but after moving back to Jingxiu Palace, he would not leave. same.

Now Jingxiu Palace only has one master, Jinghao, so it is not difficult for someone to arrange a bedroom for him to rest in, Jinghao even decided to leave that bedroom to him.

Although this is a bit unruly, Kangxi and the Empress Dowager have given the little prince to Jinghao to take care of, so there is no need to be too obsessed with any irregularities.

Although Kangxi regretted it just now, but seeing the little prince's ease in Jingxiu Palace, Kangxi's idea of ​​regret has gone to nowhere.

"You are fine." Kangxi held Jinghao's hand and said.

Jing took a good look at him and didn't speak, and then heard Kangxi continue, "If the old ancestor saw it, she would be very relieved to hand over the guarantee to you to take care of."

Jinghao still looked at Kangxi again, but this time she said: "Don't give me a high hat, besides, I am not kind to the prince just to get your praise."

Jinghao really likes the little prince, that's why she treats him sincerely. If she doesn't like the little prince at all and takes care of him just to complete the tasks assigned to her by Kangxi and the empress dowager, then she won't be like Treat him like this now.

"I know." Kangxi understood what Jing Hao meant, and he said, "So what I said comes from the heart, even if you don't praise me for it, but I must praise you."

Kangxi himself knew very well that Jinghao and the little prince had no blood relationship at all, and they had only known each other for a few months, so she had to treat the little prince with all her heart and soul like a real mother. If things are perfect, then Kangxi thinks it is no different from embarrassing others.

Besides, if Jinghao can really do this, Kangxi will wonder if he has misjudged the person.

Because people who can really do this are either seeking fame or seeking profit, whether it is the former or the latter, it is not a safe thing for such a person to take care of the little prince.

Moreover, children's minds are always the purest. They are very clear in their hearts who is really good to him and who is pretending to be good to him. That's why Kangxi said that Jinghao deserves his praise.

"Oh, it's annoying." Jing Hao gave Kangxi a white look, but Kangxi was not angry, but rather found it a bit novel, because he found that Jing Hao was actually embarrassed.

This is so rare.

"What's so annoying? Since you love Baocheng too, why don't you fulfill his wish as soon as possible?"

"what?"

"Give him the siblings he wants."

"...!!!"

-

Concubine Tong Jia, who was far away in Chengqian Palace, didn't know what happened in Jingxiu Palace, but after learning that Kangxi came to Jingxiu Palace, she could imagine that he and Jinghao must be in love with each other right now. .

Thinking of this scene, Concubine Tong Jia became jealous to death, but at the same time she felt a little panic.

Before she invited Kangxi to come to Chengqian Palace, he refused over and over again. At that time, Noble Concubine Tong Jia thought it was because Kangxi was seduced by that charming girl Jing Hao, so she didn't come to Chengqian Palace.

But after Grandma Liu came back, and after her awakening, Noble Concubine Tong Jia realized how wrong she was.

Perhaps part of the reason for this is the appearance of Jinghao, but as Kangxi's cousin and the highest-ranking concubine in the palace, if she hadn't done something wrong, it would be impossible for Kangxi to be so cold her.

Especially since she raised a prince under her knees.

Why are women in the palace willing to raise children born to other concubines even if they are not their own?Not only because of the loneliness in the deep palace, but also because of raising a child under her knees, then no matter what, there will always be a bit of love with the emperor.

Just like the person who served the most sleepers in the previous period was indeed Jing Hao, but Kangxi also went to the Zhongcui Palace of the Concubine Rong, the Palace of Yanxi Palace of the Concubine Hui, and even the Concubine Duan and the Concubine Jing. Kangxi never set foot in her Chengqian Palace.

"Mommy, it will be Yinzhen's birthday in two days. If my cousin doesn't come even that day, then what should I do?" When Concubine Tong Jia thought about this, she couldn't care less about being jealous.

Although it is said that Kangxi loves the little prince the most, it is not because he does not care about the other children. Otherwise, Concubine Rong and others who fell out of favor would not have the chance to see Kangxi occasionally.

Now Kangxi even went to Concubine Rong and the others, but he just didn't come to her Chengqian Palace. If he didn't come on Yinzhen's birthday, wouldn't she be so ashamed that everyone would know about it?

"No, master." Madam Liu comforted Concubine Tong Jia, "Didn't you already send someone to send a gift to Concubine De as an apology? Lord Long Live will definitely forgive you after knowing this."

Although the reason why Kangxi neglected Concubine Tong Jia was not just because she made things difficult for Concubine De, but if Kangxi didn't bring up such things as spying on the emperor's trace, there was no need for Concubine Tong Jia to come forward and admit it foolishly.

So Liu Mama only instructed Concubine Tong Jia to give gifts to Concubine De as an apology, after all, what Concubine Tong Jia did before was really a bit disgraceful.

Grandma Liu was much more sober than Concubine Tong Jia, she knew that even if Kangxi wanted to snub her and teach Concubine Tong Jia a lesson, she would not go too far.

Because she is the daughter of the Tong family, just because of her surname, Kangxi can't really embarrass her and embarrass the Tong family.

It can be said that Guifei Tong Jia's surname is her best life-saving talisman.

But Grandma Liu knew that she couldn't say such things to Concubine Tong Jia. Not only could she not say it, but she had to say it in a serious direction: "But it's just three things. Master, you should know that Long Live Lord is not only your cousin, but also a The emperor of the Qing Dynasty, he will tolerate you once, but it does not mean that he will tolerate you every time."

"Once his patience is worn out by you, there will be consequences if you don't tell me." Madam Liu said, "Master, it's true that you are the highest-ranking concubine in the palace, but don't worry about it." I forgot that Empress Xiaozhao's younger sister Xiao Niu Gulu is still in the palace."

Although the status of that person is under the noble concubine Tong Jia, she can still look down on other concubines, and why was Empress Xiaozhao still registered as a queen when she was clearly not favored?

It's not because Lord Long Live valued her ability.

Therefore, although Long Live God does not dote on Empress Xiao Zhao, he still respects her.

And Xiao Niu Gulu's family was conferred the concubine when she entered the palace. Although Nanny Liu didn't have much contact with her, she heard that she was quite like her sister. Kangxi's suppression has come to an end.

So Grandma Liu was worried that the little Niu Gulu family would become their master's strong enemy. After all, the Niu Gulu family had lost their former glory. If they want to make a comeback and restore their former glory, they must try their best to please the Lord Long Live. And if Lord Long Live wants to employ people, he will naturally consider such people.

Concubine Tong Jia's expression changed again and again after hearing Madam Liu's words. During the time when Madam Liu was not by her side, she lived as she wished, and once thought that the power of the palace and the position of the middle palace were all in her pocket , no one can compete with her.

But after the actual beating and the analysis by Madam Liu, Concubine Tong Jia realized that what she thought was really just what she thought.

"Don't worry, mother, I will never be so capricious in the future." Concubine Tong Jia can't remember her resentment towards Kangxi anymore, she only hopes that Kangxi will take care of the Tong family's face and their past friendship On, I can forgive her once.

Kangxi didn't know what Madam Liu had said to Concubine Tong Jia in private, but on October [-]th, Kangxi still came to Chengqian Palace to celebrate Yinzhen's birthday.

Seeing Kangxi appearing in Chengqian Palace, Concubine Tong Jia was very happy, but she did not forget the previous lesson, so she was gentle and careless throughout the whole process, and did not show her jealous side at all.

Concubine Tong Jia is his cousin after all. Although Kangxi was annoyed at her waywardness before, seeing her now and seeing him being cautious when he even spoke, it is inevitable that he will soften his heart a little.

Seeing that Kangxi looked at him no longer as indifferently as when he first came in, Concubine Tong Jia didn't show her face, but she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After finishing the meal and letting the nanny carry Yinzhen down, Concubine Tong Jia waved away the other people in the hall, and then knelt down in front of Kangxi.

"What are you doing?" Kangxi slightly restrained the expression on his face, but did not reach out to help Concubine Tong Jia up.

"Cousin, Min'er wants to apologize to you." Now there are only the two of them in the palace, and Concubine Tong Jia is not worried about embarrassment. Your love is unscrupulous..."

Kangxi didn't speak, and after Concubine Tong Jia finished speaking, he said: "You should know that I will give you the right to rule the Six Palaces, because I hope you will take care of the affairs of the Six Palaces for me, and I hope you will not will disappoint me."

"The concubine knows."

"Get up." Since Kangxi has come to Chengqian Palace today, he has no intention of continuing to neglect Concubine Tong Jia. He doesn't know whether she had figured it out before sending someone to give gifts to Concubine De to make amends, or was it awakened by others. But as long as she is willing to change, he is still willing to give her a chance.

Concubine Tong Jia is not afraid that Kangxi will reprimand her now, but she is afraid that he will keep silent like before when he knows she has done something wrong. In Concubine Tong Jia's opinion, this is more serious than directly reprimanding her.

-

When the concubine of Yonghe Palace learned that Kangxi went to Chengqian Palace today because of Yinzhen's birthday, the expression on her face was faint.

Although both Jinchai and Yinchai felt that Concubine De was Yinzhen's biological mother, but because Concubine Tong Jia adopted Yinzhen, Concubine De could no longer get close to Yinzhen at will, even a good day like today would be cheap Concubine Tong Jia.

But because both of them were worried that Debi's bad mood would affect the fetus, no matter how much they complained, they didn't dare to tell Debi, they could only tell her something that made her happy as much as possible.

However, in fact, Debi's current mood is indeed not so good, but it's not because Kangxi went to Chengqian Palace, but because she suddenly realized——

She seemed to have fallen out of favor without knowing it.

but……

why?

Debi was suddenly a little uneasy.
