Retirement in Qing Chuanwen

Concubine Hui didn't know what other mothers and sons were like when they talked about their studies. She only knew that every time she and her elder brother mentioned her, she would be filialed to death by her elder brother.

Although concubine Hui is not the little prince's biological mother, and she didn't take care of him, but don't think that she doesn't know how the little prince is studying in the Shang study.

After all, Concubine Hui really doesn't have any treasonous thoughts now, and she doesn't even think about letting her son replace the little prince, but they are both the sons of the emperor, and they are also studying in the Shangshufang. Regardless of her mentality, Concubine Hui couldn't help caring about the little prince while she was concerned about the elder brother's studies.

At the beginning, Concubine Hui thought that her son was older than the little prince, and his ability to understand and learn must also be higher than him. After all, the little prince is young, maybe he hasn't enlightened yet.

As a result, I was so much looking forward to it at the beginning, but I was so disappointed later on. It is true that there is someone in the Shang study who has not been enlightened on the matter of reading, but this person is none other than her big brother!

Concubine Hui: "..."

The clown is herself?

Although no one knew what Concubine Hui was thinking, but she still felt embarrassed, and at the same time was very angry, her son is so unbelievable?

They are obviously two years older than the little prince, but it's fine if they don't overwhelm him academically, but they are about to be overwhelmed by others?

"I think you are trying to make me faint from anger." Concubine Hui twisted the elder brother's ear and said, "Would it kill you to make you spend more time studying?"

Big brother: "..."

alright.

"Emiang, if you don't want to be angry in the future, I have a way." The elder brother rubbed his twisted ear and said.

"What way?" Concubine Hui asked, "You will study hard in the future?"

"Er Niang, you are so funny." Eldest brother laughed, "Of course, you can just ask me how I learned horseback riding and archery in the future, and don't ask me anything else."

"I guarantee that if you do this, it will make you happy every day."

Concubine Hui: "...!!!"

She doesn't know if she can be happy or not, anyway, she is almost pissed off now!

……

Unlike Concubine Hui, every time Jing Hao asked about the little prince's studies, she didn't get angry, it wasn't because he wasn't her own, she didn't care, it was because the little prince was so smart, and reading was so unexpected for him. It's as simple as eating and drinking.

So why does this make Jing Hao angry?

Angry at him for being too smart for studying too well?

When Kangxi came to Jingxiu Palace today, he was also talking to Jinghao about the little prince and elder brother studying. Although they are both his own sons, the little prince is the one who resembles him the most.

Because Kangxi is also the kind of person who loves to read, even though he has become the emperor now, he no longer needs to read and study every day like he did when he was a child, but he still never leaves books when he is free.

Just like the two poems in "Two Poems of Viewing Books Part One" written by Zhu Xi in the Southern Song Dynasty: Ask how clear the canal is?For the source of living water.

Just as if you want to keep the water in the pond crystal clear, you need to keep injecting it with living water. Only when a person keeps learning and accepting new things can his brain keep active and progress.

"Based on this point, he has done a good job in protecting his achievements. He has already understood the benefits of studying at a young age, which is to protect his purity..." When mentioning the elder son, Kangxi couldn't help shaking his head, "It's really Yumu's head. .”

All of them fight the world on horseback, so the elder brother Xiwu Kangxi actually has no objections, as he himself has not lost his ability to ride horses and shoot arrows.

But while enjoying martial arts, one should not be disgusted with literature. It is true that martial arts can make a country safe, but literature can govern the country, both of which are equally important.

And now that the Qing Dynasty has been defeated, how to govern the country and the world is the most important thing.

Jinghao actually understood what Kangxi meant, but she didn't know whether she should say some words or not.

She knows that Kangxi really wants to cultivate the little prince and let him inherit the great rule of the country, but she also knows how the father and son of Kangxi and the prince ended in history, and at the same time, she also knows the relationship between the little prince and the elder brother in the future. Watching how hard the half-fraternity fights.

I have to say that people's hearts are biased. Although Jinghao knows that he is a good boy after meeting the elder brother a few times, she admits that she really prefers the little prince.

So she wants to remind Kangxi how to treat the big brother's study correctly?If I remind you, will it cause trouble for the future prince?

After thinking about this in Jing Hao's mind, she finally decided to remind her.

Because she has already traveled through time, maybe she has already flapped the butterfly's wings and changed the direction of history.

Besides, Jinghao is now watching the relationship between the little prince and the elder brother, although they often don't care about each other, but to be honest, it looks more like a dispute between brothers.

Taking a step back, even if the two younger brothers might break their heads because of the competition for the crown prince in the future, but for now, the elder brother is just a child.

Jinghao doesn't want to look at the relationship between the little prince and the elder brother with colored glasses prematurely, because she is taking care of the little prince now, if she believes that their brothers will be in the same situation in the future, then who knows what her thoughts will be? Will it affect the little prince unconsciously, resulting in a change in his attitude towards the elder brother?

So Jinghao said to Kangxi: "Has your majesty heard the story of Zhong You and Ran Qiu, two of Confucius' disciples?"

"You mean?"

"It is said in "The Analects of Confucius" that one day Zhong You and Ran Qiu asked Confucius the same question, but the strange thing is that Confucius gave completely different answers to the two disciples, and then watched from the sidelines. Disciple Gong Xihua was stunned, and asked Confucius, "Sir, why are you acting like this?"

"Brother Zhong You and Brother Ran Qiu asked if you should act immediately when you heard a correct idea, and you said to Brother Zhong You, that's not okay, you are not a fool, your father and your brother It’s still there, so what’s the point of doing it without asking them? But to Brother Ran Qiu, he said, “Yes, yes, yes, don’t be so sluggish, just roll up your sleeves and do it.”

"So sir, what do you want to do? Gong Xihua couldn't figure it out, and then Confucius said, oh, it's not because of your two old brothers, one is hot-tempered, crazy to death, so I have to restrain him, and the other one is our first-class retired drummer in the Spring and Autumn Period. Every time something happens, the retreated drum beats loudly, so I have to encourage him to play less drums and do more work?"

"So do you understand? What does this story tell us?" After Jinghao finished speaking, she looked at Kangxi, and then heard Kangxi holding back a smile, "Gongxihua is not from Henan, he is from the three eastern provinces."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kangxi couldn't help laughing. He didn't even think that Jinghao had such a talent for storytelling. Look at the words printed on the book, which came out of her mouth. It was so witty that people couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"I'm telling you something serious." Jinghao glared at Kangxi feigning anger, but she couldn't last a second, and she laughed too, "It doesn't matter where Gongxihua is from, what matters is the story Tell us that it is important to teach students in accordance with their aptitude."

"Teach students according to their aptitude?" Kangxi savored these four words carefully after laughing, and felt that Jing Hao summed it up quite well, he said, "It really makes sense."

"Really?" Jing Hao said, "Some people are born to love reading, and some people are born not to love reading. For these latter people, it is useless to follow the book and memorize it by rote. We must find a way to mobilize their enthusiasm for reading. , as long as they are interested in reading, they will take the initiative to learn without being forced by others."

Jing Hao thinks that since the elder brother Xiwu wants to be a general, then he must not only be interested in horseback riding and archery, so he can be asked to read military books, so that he can learn more about the reason why some famous generals in history are so powerful Not because they are good at fist and kick, but because they know a lot and know how to fight.

Kangxi nodded. If you only know what it is, but not why it is, then it is better not to read it, because it is easy to spoil people.

"I understand." Kangxi is not the kind of parent who sticks to the past, so he won't delay the child because of rigidity, he said with a smile, "If this trick is useful, I will reward you in due course."

"It's really insincere." Jinghao shook her head, deliberately disgusted and authentic, "The matchmaker doesn't even include having children."

"The matchmaker doesn't do it, but I do." Kangxi said meaningfully, "I will satisfy you as many as you want."

Jinghao: "...!!!"

All right, how did you get the car out?

and also……

Are you sure this is to satisfy her?

Why did she feel more like it was to satisfy him?

But no matter who it was to satisfy, anyway, Jinghao and Kangxi were satisfied. After a fierce battle, Jinghao and Kangxi lay back in bed after cleaning up.

Originally, there should be one quilt for each person, and the well water does not interfere with the river water. At the beginning, Jinghao and Kangxi were also like this, but Jinghao's sleeping position is really...

Well, it can only be said that he has a strong sense of rebellion. Anyway, a quilt cannot imprison Jinghao.

So as time went by, Kangxi simply asked someone to remove a quilt and slept with Jing Haoda.

When Kangxi woke up the next day, Jing Hao was still sleeping soundly in the quilt. He didn't know where she got this problem. She always liked to get into the quilt when she slept, so every time she woke up, Kangxi had to do it. She "digged" out of the quilt.

Kangxi "digged" like this, no matter how deeply she slept, she would be "digged" awake by him: "Your Majesty?"

"Go on to sleep, I don't need you to wait on me." Kangxi saw her lying on the couch, covered with a quilt, with only one head exposed and staring at him in bewilderment, his heart softened suddenly.

Jing was stunned just after waking up, but now she was even more stunned when she heard Kangxi's words——

Ah, what do you do if you don't need her to wait on you and wake her up?

Wake her up and let her go back to sleep? ? ?

Kangxi: "..."

Isn't it because she didn't sleep well?

Jinghao couldn't feel Kangxi's affection for her anymore, she only felt his "maliciousness" towards her, and "digged" her awake before dawn in winter, are you sure who is in charge?

Jinghao complained about Kangxi silently in her heart, while silently closing her eyes and going to sleep, there is no way, it is too early now, even if Jinghao is going to Chengqian Palace to pay respects to Concubine Tong Jia, she can use Don't need to get up so early.

Seeing that Jinghao really closed her eyes and fell asleep again, Kangxi couldn't help but chuckled, don't think he didn't know, although she didn't say anything, she must have slandered him.

Thinking of this, Kangxi stretched out his hand and pinched her face, seeing that her brows were about to frown, he stopped, and then got up and walked out.

Jing Hao didn't even have the strength to open her eyelids: "..."

What's wrong?

Before leaving, Kangxi, who had a bad habit, did not forget to tell Lizhi a few words: "Serve your little master well, and remember to let her have breakfast before going to pay her respects."

"I obey the order." Li Zhi also deliberately lowered her voice. She had never served other concubines before, so she wondered if Kangxi treated other concubines with such care and consideration.

But after Li Zhi had been serving in Jingxiu Palace for so long, he discovered that the emperor cared about the young master's affairs no matter how big or small.

It's like he specifically told her to let the young master have a meal before going to pay his respects. That's because today is the fifteenth day. The concubines in the harem will not only go to the Chengqian Palace to pay respects to Concubine Tong Jia, but also to the Compassionate Ning Palace Greetings to the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager.

It took more than twice as much time to pay respects than before.

In fact, Jinghao knew that today was different from usual without Kangxi's special instructions, but after waking up and hearing Lizhi tell her Kangxi's concern for her, Jinghao was in a good mood.

After seeing the beef noodles on the table with pomegranate, Jing's mood is even better.

In fact, there was no beef noodles at this time, because Lanzhou beef noodles first appeared in the Jiaqing period, and Jiaqing’s grandfather Yongzheng was still a small dumpling at the moment.

But who told Jinghao to come from later ages? After telling the standard of Lanzhou beef noodles—one clear, two white, three green, four red, and five yellow—to Pomegranate, Pomegranate soon wanted to eat Jinghao. The beef noodles are made.

After taking a sip of the noodles, I chewed the beef and spicy noodles together. The taste of the soft beef and springy noodles with the spicy pepper is simply amazing. After the white radish and coriander and garlic sprouts absorb the full aroma of the meat, It also became very delicious.

Finally, take another sip of the hot and mellow beef soup, and Jing Hao feels that her whole day's energy will be released with the sudden rise in temperature in her body.

"Let's go." After feeding her five internal organs temple, Jinghao got up and went to Chengqian Palace. On the way there, she thought to herself, she wondered if Concubine Tong Jia's mood had recovered after so many days ?

Since Concubine Yi successfully gave birth to a prince, Yinqi, in early December, Concubine Tong Jia has not been in a good mood, but everyone understands that after all, everyone in the palace knows that Concubine Tong Jia wants to be a queen. Besides, do you still want to give birth to a prince?

Even though she has Yinzhen under her knees now, for Concubine Tong Jia, the one who is not her own is not her own after all, and Yinzhen's biological mother, Concubine De, is still alive and well.

Now that Yinzhen is still young, and spends most of his time in Chengqian Palace, Concubine Tong Jia naturally has a way to make him unable to know the truth, but when he grows up, what about when he enters the Shang study?

Concubine Tong Jia could not prevent him from knowing the truth.

However, unlike Concubine Tong Jia, the Empress Dowager has been in a good mood these days. Although she already has a great-grandson, the population is prosperous, and the Empress Dowager must be happy to see it.

Especially when Yin Qi was born with a weight of seven pounds and six taels, he could be regarded as a standard fat boy at this time. He cried loudly when he was born, and he was a very healthy child at first glance.

In a royal family with a high infant mortality rate, a healthy baby is very happy, because it means that he is much more likely to grow up safely.

Concubine Tong Jia may not be able to empathize with the empress dowager's happiness, but she is not stupid, it is impossible for her to touch her bad luck knowing that the old ancestor is so happy.

So after inviting An Dajun to come to the Palace of Compassion, Concubine Tong Jia put away her previous unhappy look, even if the Empress Dowager asked her about Concubine Yi's confinement, Concubine Tong Jia did not hesitate complexion.

She said: "Old Ancestor, don't worry, Concubine Yi gave birth to a fat boy for the emperor. This is our great hero, and my concubine will definitely tell the people below to take good care of her, so that she will not suffer any grievances."

"Well, that's good, but you have worked hard during this time, concubine, and when the time is over, the Ai family will let the emperor reward you well."

The Empress Dowager knows very well that if you want the horse to run, you have to let the horse eat grass. As for how Kangxi will reward Concubine Tong Jia in the future, that is Kangxi's business. Anyway, the Empress Dowager first drew a big cake for her up.

I have to say that this trick is still very useful for Concubine Tong Jia, especially because she has really worked hard during this time, and she will handle all the affairs of the Six Palaces, and there will be New Year's events next.

Originally, Noble Concubine Tong Jia was sullen because of Yipin's childbirth, but now she is full of energy from what the Empress Dowager said.

Jing thought to herself, the Empress Dowager deserves to be the Empress Dowager, she will know if there is one as soon as she makes a move, she knows how to deal with Concubine Tong Jia.

-

Nursery rhymes are sung: Don’t be greedy, children, after Laba, it’s the New Year.

For later generations, the Spring Festival starts from the first day of the first lunar month, but the Spring Festival in the Qing Dynasty starts from the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month to the [-]th day of the first lunar month, which is almost one month long.

But of course, there is no word for Spring Festival now, everyone just talks about New Year.

As the New Year is approaching, the Forbidden City is full of lights and festoons, full of joy. Concubine Tong Jia has sent someone to inform them that they don't need to go to Chengqian Palace to pay her respects these days because she is busy with the New Year.

And on the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, Kangxi also held a pen and seal ceremony. The meaning of this ceremony is equivalent to telling others——

I'm on vacation, it's okay, don't bother me.

Only the little prince and elder brother are very hard-pressed to continue to study in the Shangshufang. Obviously, the taste of next year is already so strong, but they still can't see the hope of a holiday.

There is no way, Kangxi strictly requires that the princes only have five days of vacation a year, except for the three major holidays of New Year's Day, Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, there are only two days left for his own birthday and Kangxi's birthday.

That is to say, on New Year's Eve, the little prince and eldest elder brother still have to go to study in the Shang study. After the first day of the first lunar month, they have to continue to study in the Shang study on the second day of the new year.

But going back, as the footsteps of the Chinese New Year are getting closer, let alone the elder brother, even the little prince can't sit still while studying in the Shang study.

There is no way, after all, one of them is only six years old and the other is only eight years old, and this is the first year they have entered the Shang study, so seeing them reading and reading, their minds are not on the books, and the teachers above have no choice but to read. Open one eye and close one eye.

After all, they also came from childhood, so they naturally know that children have an inexplicable love for the New Year.

After finally making it to New Year's Eve, the little prince and elder brother can finally have a holiday!

This makes the two little brothers so happy, even more excited than picking up money.

But then again, on New Year's Eve, the little prince and elder brother did pick up money, not only them, but also the eldest princess, second princess, third princess, and Yinzhen all picked up money.

Because at the New Year's Eve banquet, the little prince and the others lined up to say auspicious words to Kangxi, the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager, so everyone received the lucky money from them.

Although these princes and princesses are not short of the lucky money, but children, they must be happy to receive these things.

After the little prince and the others had finished speaking the auspicious words, it was time for the concubines, starting with the noble concubine Tong Jia, and the nice auspicious words came out one after another. He said his auspicious words when he raised his wine glass.

"My concubine wishes the emperor peace and joy in the new year, and everything goes smoothly."

"Okay." Looking at Jinghao, who was dressed in a concubine-colored flag dress, Kangxi smiled warmly at her, "I accept your wish, you don't drink well, and I will wait for you later." Don't be greedy."

It was also to say auspicious words to Kangxi, but Jinghao was the only one who got his extra advice, especially when seeing the smile on Kangxi's face, the jealousy in Concubine Tong Jia's heart couldn't be suppressed.

She didn't understand, what's so good about this Dai Jiashi, the emperor didn't feel tired of caring for her for several months?

However, after Madam Liu's suggestion, Noble Concubine Tong Jia knew how to measure, even if she was jealous, she did not show it.

Although Jinghao doesn't have the ability to read minds, she is not a piece of wood, so how could she not notice the eyes of other concubines on her?

but--

never mind.

Jinghao is already used to it now, after toasting Kangxi, she should eat and drink next, and she didn't take other people's eyes to heart.

After Kangxi, who was sitting at the top, listened to the auspicious words of the other concubines, his gaze fell on Jinghao again. Seeing that she was just like the little prince and the others, focusing on the delicious food on his table, he didn't know what to think of. Just smiled, and told Liang Jiugong beside him: "Take a string of lucky money in the style of the princesses and send it to you, Xiaozhu Dai."

The Empress Dowager, who is over 60 years old, still has sharp eyes and ears, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help twitching when she heard Kangxi's words——

There are so many tricks for young people nowadays.

Back then, she and Dorgon were not so tired.
