Retirement in Qing Chuanwen

The Empress Dowager only found out that Gui Xianren somehow crawled out of the pool in Linxi Pavilion today and even left the Compassionate Ning Palace when the servants below came to report.

In fact, it is also because Gui Xianren is too lazy and too lazy to move at all, so seeing it stand up today, the servants below will feel surprised and report it to the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager also felt strange when she heard about it, but she was not too worried. Firstly, even if the Immortal Turtle left the Compassionate Ning Palace, there were still servants by her side, and secondly, because no one in the Forbidden City knew that this long-lived turtle was Kangxi. Pay tribute to the mascot of the Empress Dowager?

So the Empress Dowager didn't worry about any accidents or dangers that would happen to the Immortal Gui after he left the Compassion Ning Palace, she was just curious why the Immortal Gui would have such an abnormal reaction today.

The Empress Dowager, who was rarely curious, ordered her to go down, saying that if the Guixian came back, she would come and report to her.

"Su Mo'er, you said it well, why did the Guixian go out? Where could it go?" The Empress Dowager asked Lagu Su Ma beside her, even though her daughter-in-law was her grandniece, she was with her again. They live together in the Compassion Palace.

But the scope of the Compassionate Palace is so large, and they don't live in the same place, and now the Empress Dowager is raising Yinzuo, so the only one who can always accompany the Empress Dowager is Lagu Su Ma.

"Master, you really think highly of this slave." Aunt Su Ma made a pot of tea for the Empress Dowager and smiled while serving it to her, "If this slave has the ability to pinch fingers and tell fortunes, he would have It's revealed to you."

Hearing Aunt Su Ma's words, the Empress Dowager couldn't help laughing: "I've grown up, and now I'm going to run on your master."

"Don't dare, dare not, even if I give the slave a hard heart and leopard courage, the slave will not dare to run on you, the master."

Aunt Su Ma has been with the Empress Dowager for so many years, and the time they spend together far exceeds the time they spend with other people. Therefore, they are both masters and servants and sisters, so it is inevitable that they talk a lot in private. A little casual.

The Empress Dowager smiled and shook her head. In fact, she didn't have to get a definite answer from La Aunt Su Ma, so she didn't continue to talk about this topic, but talked about other things with La Aunt Su Ma. .

The Empress Dowager didn't know if it was because she was old, so she always unconsciously recalled the past on weekdays, obviously when she was young, she was not a temperament that loves to remember the past.

For the Empress Dowager, there are some people who have something, and if they miss it, they miss it. She will not waste time regretting or reminiscing about things that cannot be repeated. After all, looking forward is the most important thing.

But now that I am getting older, if I look forward, all I can see is death, so the Empress Dowager often thinks about the past and the people in the past.

"In fact, Aijia sometimes thinks about it, and thinks that it is not a good thing for people to live too long." The Empress Dowager said to Aunt Su Mala, "Because sending away people you know one by one, in the end you just have to The Ai family is left alone."

Parents, brothers and sisters, husband, friends and even her own children were sent away one by one by herself. For the Empress Dowager, this was undoubtedly a more heart-pounding blow than one.

When she was young, she took care of him flawlessly. In order to fight for a way out for herself, she didn't even have that much time to grieve, but when she was old and recalled the past, those dense sorrows and sourness invaded her overwhelmingly. Come.

"Master, there are servants accompanying you." Lagu Su Ma said to the Empress Dowager with a smile, "And there are also the Emperor, Empress Dowager, His Royal Highness, and the others accompanying you. How can you be the only one left?" Woolen cloth?"

"When His Highness the Crown Prince and Eldest Brother grow up and get married and have children, you will have more great-great-great-grandchildren."

Lagu Su Ma's words brought back the Empress Dowager's emotions. The Empress Dowager was already content to see so many great-grandchildren and great-granddaughters born.

After all, at her age, she could already smell the coffin.

The Empress Dowager was not afraid of death, but she knew that if she really said that, then Aunt Su Ma would definitely refute her, so she didn't say anything at all, and followed her words: "Then Aijia Just wait."

But before the empress dowager waited for her great-great-grandson or great-great-granddaughter, she first waited for the little great-grandson brought back by Guixianren.

"What's going on here?" Although the Empress Dowager had seen so many worlds, she still couldn't hold back when she witnessed the scene where the Guixianren carried Xiao Baokang in front of her.

Just, so cute that it's a little outrageous.

Originally Xiao Baokang was born white and tender, just like the little golden boy under the seat of the Guanyin Empress, but now he appears in front of her in this form, people who don't know think that God sent a turtle fairy to her A little fairy boy who just came down to earth.

After the grandma and the others saluted the empress dowager, seeing her asking, the grandma boldly stepped forward to answer her question: "Returning to the empress dowager, our master took Brother Yinyou out for a walk today, unexpectedly On the way, I met Gui Xianren..."

The nanny told the Empress Dowager the whole story, and she was a little taken aback when she heard it.

Because of the huge size of the turtle fairy, although it is a mascot that symbolizes longevity, few children in the Forbidden City dare to really climb on its shell.

Moreover, Gui Xianren is not the kind of temperless, not everyone can touch it, let alone let people sit on its turtle shell.

But I never expected that today there would be a Xiao Baokang who is not afraid of Guixianren, and Guixianren would also be willing to serve Xiao Baokang as a mount.

The combination of these two things really surprised the Empress Dowager.

Xiao Baokang had met the Empress Dowager, but he hadn't seen much, so he didn't seem to remember her very much. After being reminded by the nanny, the little guy who came down from the Guixian held his hands together in front of his chest. Shaking at the Empress Dowager, she said in a childish voice: "Zu Zu'an~"

Although Xiao Baokang can call out titles like "Er Niang" and "Ama" fluently, it is a bit difficult for him to call him "Old Ancestor".

After all, I don’t say one more word, and I don’t shout it often, so "greetings to the ancestors" became "Zu Zuan" in Xiao Baokang's mouth.

But the empress dowager is not the kind of person who pays special attention to red tape. Besides, it is normal for a child to speak incompletely, and he is his own great-grandson. How can the empress dowager care about this with Xiao Baokang?

Although Xiao Baokang did not often come to the Palace of Compassion and Peace, and the Empress Dowager saw him only a limited number of times, but I have to say that Xiao Baokang is still very attractive.

Not to mention being cute, after all, few children in this age group are not cute, but Xiao Baokang is not only cute, he has a more attractive trait.

The Empress Dowager didn't know what to say, she could only say that he was particularly easy to catch people's attention?

Anyway, the Empress Dowager, who had not met him a few times, now saw Xiao Baokang making a nondescript salute to her, and the soft heart in her heart was immediately seduced by him.

"Come on, give the ancestor a hug." The Empress Dowager bent down and opened her hands towards Xiao Baokang.

"Master..." Aunt Su Ma hurriedly said, not because she wanted to prevent the Empress Dowager from getting close to her little great-grandson, but because the Empress Dowager is already getting old now, and her body is not as good as when she was young .

"Don't worry, it's just holding a child, Ai's body is not so useless." The Empress Dowager said.

Xiao Baokang looked up at the Empress Dowager in front of him, blinked and then stepped forward to hug her.

Although Xiao Baokang didn't seem to know the Empress Dowager very well, but the little guy was smart, and the nurses around him didn't stop him, so it proved that the other party was not a bad person.

And for the current little Baokang, wish!meaning!hug!he!All of them are good people, big good people!

After picking up the chubby little Baokang, the Empress Dowager couldn't help showing a smile on her face. She doesn't know what cute is, and she doesn't know how lethal a cute baby is, but after not knowing and What she didn't know, she had experienced it herself.

"You find someone to tell Concubine Zhengui that Yinyou is here at Ai's house." The Empress Dowager walked inside with Xiao Baokang in her arms, while ordering the servants of Jingxiu Palace.

Because Nanny is the person who often takes care of Xiao Baokang, she is worried that he will not be used to staying in the Compassion Palace later, so she has to stay.

Even Xiao Baokang seldom cries, but what if, right?

It's not easy to ask Xiao Baokang to visit the Compassion Ning Palace, but in the end, the empress dowager is displeased.

I have to say, Nanny and the others are actually thinking too much, not to mention that Xiao Baokang is not crying, even if he does cry, it is impossible for the Empress Dowager to dislike Xiao Baokang because of this reason .

After all, the Empress Dowager herself was also a mother, so she naturally knew that children's crying is very direct, unlike adults who can control their emotions well.

Not to mention the empress dowager, even the empress dowager who has never been a mother knows this.

Everyone knows that the empress dowager was not favored when she was a queen, let alone had any children. Originally, the empress dowager thought that she would never have children in this life, but who knew that in the blink of an eye, Yinzuo suddenly fell from the sky.

Although Yinzuo was not her own child, or even her own grandson, the empress dowager had to admit that during the past year of raising Yinzuo, the empress dowager really felt the joy of raising a baby.

When Yin Zuo was first brought to the Palace of Compassion and Peace, he had already lived under Wu Ya's promise for about a year. Wu Ya promised to put all her hopes on Yin Zuo and take good care of him. Most of them were done by themselves, so Yinzuo cried every night when he first arrived at the Palace of Compassion and Ning.

During that period of time, the empress dowager was really exhausted, but as time went by, coupled with the empress dowager's care, Yinzuo wanted Wu Ya to agree less and less. After more than a year, he had already forgotten about Wu Ya's promise, and he never thought of it again.

Now the Empress Dowager’s daily routine is almost all about raising, teasing, and playing with the baby. Today, because I heard that Gui Xianren "run away from home", when he came back, he gave the Empress Dowager a small health care, so the Empress Dowager The queen mother brought Yin Zuo over to see what was going on.

……

Not to mention the empress dowager, Jinghao also wanted to know what was going on, but when she was suddenly told by the servant that Xiao Baokang was carried to the Compassionate Ning Palace by the Guixianren, she was in a daze.

After she reacted, Jinghao had an embarrassing expression on her face, wondering if all animals have the same problem?

Wasn't Xiaolu the one who hooked up the little prince back then?Now Guixianren has "hooked" Xiao Baokang back to the Compassionate Ning Palace again.

"Let's go, let's go to the Compassion Palace."

Because I heard that Xiao Baokang took the initiative to use the Guixian as a mount, so when Jinghao went to the Compassion Palace to meet the Empress Dowager, she looked a little embarrassed.

"The Empress Dowager, please forgive me, it is Baokang who is young and ignorant." Although Jinghao knows that according to the Empress Dowager's temperament, she is unlikely to blame Xiao Baokang.

But it's one thing for the Empress Dowager not to blame her, but it's another thing for her, the mother-in-law, to apologize or not.

"It's just a trivial matter." The Empress Dowager really didn't care about it, she said, "The Ai family has also heard about the ins and outs, and the Guixian is willing to let Baokang ride, that is also their fate."

Speaking of fate, the Empress Dowager couldn't help but think of what Xuangui had said to her back then.

She said that Jinghao is the protagonist in the story, so she will be the final big winner. Regarding this point, let alone the empress dowager, whether she believes it or not, but from the cowpox to the turtle fairy, the empress dowager can't help it. It is indeed a bit of luck not to admit Jinghao and her child Xiao Baokang.

Otherwise, there would be so many people in the world, and Jinghao would not be the only one who would associate smallpox with cowpox; and there would not be so many children in the Forbidden City, but only Xiao Baokang could let Guixianren serve as his mount.

Jing Hao naturally didn't know what the Empress Dowager was thinking, she was relieved to see that she didn't care about it, she originally planned to come to the Palace of Compassion to Ning to pick up Xiao Baokang, but who knew it was not only the Empress Dowager Here, the empress dowager and Yinzuo are also there, and both Yinzuo and Xiao Baokang have already started playing.

In this way, Jinghao could not tactfully propose to take Xiao Baokang away first. After all, even if the little guy has the little prince and his brothers to play with him, they often have to go to the Shang study to study, so they can accompany Xiao Baokang. Kang didn't have much time to play.

And they are all so much older than Xiao Baokang, so it is the first time for Xiao Baokang to play with children of similar age today.

Hearing the empress dowager talk about fate, the empress dowager on the side smiled and said: "It seems that Yinzuo and Baokang are quite close, look at how well they play, unlike Yinzuo and Yinqi, the little pair Once the brothers get together, it's easy to fight."

In the past, Yin Zuo was promised by Wu Ya to be spoiled like an eyeball, not to mention, but after arriving at the Palace of Compassion and Peace, he also became the empress dowager's favorite, so he raised Yin Zuo's temper a little bit.

As for Yinqi, he was originally begged by Concubine Yi to worship God and Buddha, and he has been raised under her knees since birth, especially after knowing that he has fallen out of favor, Concubine Yi put more energy on Yinqi On Qi's body, he was so spoiled in Yikun Palace that he walked sideways.

So if this pair of self-centered little brothers who were raised together stay together, not to mention sparks hitting the earth, but at least it can be said that the tip of the needle is right.

After all, their nature is that they don't let anyone else, so it's easy to conflict when they get together.

Originally, when Yinzuo wanted to play with Xiao Baokang, the empress dowager was worried that Xiao Baokang would be bullied. After all, he was young and was born prematurely.

Unlike Yinzuo, who was born on the full moon, he has a strong body, and the empress dowager raised Yinzuo according to the way the Mongols raised children, so he was raised like a calf when he was only two years old.

But when they really played together, the empress dowager was surprised, because Yin Zuo, who was usually a little tempered, became docile in front of Xiao Baokang? ? ?

The empress dowager felt very surprised, and also felt very miraculous. Only Jing Hao saw this scene, her heart was not fluctuated, and she even wanted to laugh a little.

No way, who made her son be a real straight man?

From his birth to the present, I don't know how many straight guys and tough guys have fallen under his diapers, so a mere Yin Zuo...

Sprinkle water (small meaning).

As a straight man, Xiao Baokang actually didn't have much fluctuation in Yinzuo's liking for him, and even felt that he was a bit noisy.

Xiao Baokang, who is only one and a half years old, usually listens to Jing so that they may not understand Chinese, let alone Mongolian, which he has never learned.

Yes, Yinzuo was just learning to speak when he was brought up by the empress dowager. As we all know, the empress dowager is a Mongol. Even after decades in the Qing Dynasty, her Chinese is still rotten. All speak in their mother tongue.

So even with Yinzuo, an authentic Manchu, he spoke Mongolian with a smell of barbecue, not necessarily fluent, but very authentic.

However, no matter how authentic Yinzuo's Mongolian is, it's useless, because Xiao Baokang can't understand it at all, so even if Yinzuo babbled to him like a small talker, a lot of "brother is cute" and "" I like my brother", "I'll let my brother play with you" and so on to express love, but Xiao Baokang's expression has only one meaning, that is——

so tired.jpg

Seeing that Xiao Baokang's loveless emoji is about to go online again, Jing Hao was almost laughed to death by him, but she was afraid that the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager would be unhappy, so she explained: "Baokang, this child Usually he is very lazy, sometimes he is too lazy to play, he just wants to sit and lie still, plus he can’t understand elder brother Yinzuo’s words, so maybe he is a little bit unmotivated.”

However, in fact, neither the Empress Dowager nor the Empress Dowager felt unhappy. Instead, they were amused by Xiao Baokang's tired little expression, because the contrast caused by such an expression on the face of a one-year-old child The cuteness is so unbelievable.

There is also Yin Zuo, who usually fights with Yin Qi for grabbing things and is unwilling to admit defeat. Today, he is as good as a rabbit, not only offering his usual treasures to Xiao Baokang , and shouted "brother" to Xiao Baokang one by one, looking at him as if saying——

I like it, I like it brother~

Yin Zuo, who was squatting in front of Xiao Baokang, held his chubby face in both hands, and watched him play with bent eyes. What about that smile?

Looks like a little idiot (bushi).

At this time, Concubine Yi brought Yinqi to come, because she had come to the Palace of Compassion and Ning many times, so when Yin Qi came to the Palace of Compassion and Ning, it was like coming to her second home, and she didn't recognize her at all. After running in from the outside like a small cannonball, he rushed to the Empress Dowager to say hello to her.

Yinqi saw the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager many times, so he naturally recognized them, but he didn't have much impression of Jinghao, and he only saluted her when someone reminded him.

"Hello, Miss Zhen."

"Brother Yinqi is also good." Jing looked at Yinqi with a good smile, and found that this child was really well raised by Concubine Yi. He looked very healthy and lively, not an introvert.

Sure enough, after saluting and saying hello to the elders, Yin Qi went straight to play with Yin Zuo.

Although Yinqi and Yinzuo often get together and fight, children never hold grudges, so after fighting with Yinzuo today, he will still come to the Palace of Compassion to find Yinzuo to play with Yinqi the next day.

But why is there another younger brother today?

Yinqi happily ran to find Yinzuo, but before he ran in front of him, he found Xiao Baokang who was playing on the carpet with his back to him, and Yinzuo who ignored him.

As I said before, Yin Qi's temperament was raised by Concubine Yi to be a bit domineering, seeing her little friend ignoring her, Yin Qi was not happy at the moment.

He rushed forward and said loudly to Yin Zuo, "I brought my sword today."

The "sword" Yin Qi mentioned refers to a small wooden sword he got recently, which was made for him by Concubine Yi. Although it is just a small wooden sword, it is very exquisite in workmanship, and it also comes with a scabbard and a sword tassel. , don't mention how majestic it is when it is hung on the waist.

Normally, Yin Qi treasured his own wooden sword, Yin Zuo had been greedy for a long time and he was unwilling to let him touch it more, but today...

In order to win back the heart of his little friend, Yinqi did not hesitate to betray his "sword" appearance.

However, at this moment, Yin Zuo has no intention of playing swords, and only Xiao Baokang is left in his eyes, so no matter how loud Yin Qi speaks, he is not moved, and even thinks he is noisy.

"Don't you want to play?" Seeing that Yin Zuo didn't respond, Yinqi continued to shout loudly, "If you want to play, I can play for you."

"No." Yin Zuo shook his head, ignoring Yin Qi.

Now Yinqi was even more unhappy, he turned his head to look at Xiao Baokang who didn't raise his head, and said fiercely: "Hey, you..."

Before Yin Qi finished speaking, Xiao Baokang looked up at him, his long eyelashes curled up naturally, and his eyes, which were already big, looked bigger and rounder because of looking up like this, like something Like a cute little animal.

Yinqi instantly felt as if his heart had been stabbed by a sword.

Yin Qi, who was obviously fierce just now, suddenly blushed for some reason, and spoke coyly, "...Do you want to play? If you want to play, I can give it to you."

Just wanted to play Yin Zuo who was only allowed to play for a while: "...???"
