Retirement in Qing Chuanwen

Jinghao couldn't figure it out, because Jinghao herself had read the thoughts written by Kangxi for her, and there was one thing to say, it was indeed beyond her level to write.

But the little prince didn't doubt it at all?

Jing Hao thought to herself, could it be that she is always such an unpredictable and knowledgeable image in the little prince's mind?

The little prince: "..."

Perhaps it would be more appropriate to describe it as being wise and foolish?

Jinghao: "..."

She reasonably suspected that he was implicating her!

After all, is she really wise? If others don't know, how can she not know?So if you really want to describe her with great wisdom and Ruoyu, then she will only be left as Ruoyu, okay?

"What do you want to do so much? Anyway, I can do it for you." Naturally, it is impossible for Kangxi to tell Jinghao the truth, because helping her with her homework has become a benefit to him.

After all, probably only when there is something for him, Jing Hao will be more enthusiastic and cooperative on the couch.

"It's true to say that, but why do I always feel that something is not right?" Jing Hao thought about it carefully, and she always felt as if she had overlooked something.

But how could it be possible for Kangxi to really make Jinghao react, just at this time, Xiao Baokang saw that the rice dumplings they made were served on the table, but no one served him, so he did it himself immediately.

In the past, Xiao Baokang could only drink milk, but ever since he could eat some rice paste and egg custard, and even some simple food for adults, Jinghao no longer let people hug him to eat, but After drawing the blueprints, someone made a children's dining table and chairs.

Since having this children's dining table and chairs, the happiest person is not Xiao Baokang, the client, nor Jinghao, the mother-in-law, or even Kangxi, but the little prince and the others who are brothers.

You must know that when Xiao Baokang could not eat and could only drink milk, the elder brother had a very bad idea, that is to hold Xiao Baokang at the dinner table.

——In this way, they can not only eat delicious food, but also watch Xiao Baokang.

It's a pity that you can't have both fish and bear's paw since ancient times. The big brother has to make a "painful" choice between delicious food and Xiaobaokang. But with this children's dining table and chairs, it's different. They can have fish, You can also get a bear's paw, which is simply the best of both worlds.

Therefore, compared with his brothers, Xiao Baokang can be said to be the first one on the dinner table among the brothers, although there are still many dishes on the dinner table that are not suitable for Xiao Baokang, such as today's zongzi.

Although one and a half year old children are not completely forbidden to eat glutinous rice, but you must know that glutinous rice is a kind of food that is difficult to digest, not to mention children, even some adults with poor stomachs cannot eat more or even eat it .

Although Xiao Baokang is much healthier than the average premature baby, but he is still young, so Jinghao never thought of giving him zongzi at all.

Seeing that he couldn't help himself and was about to get up from the children's dining table and chairs and reach for the zongzi on the table, Jing Hao didn't care about continuing to think about the fact that the little prince was still giving her homework, so she quickly reached out and pressed Xiao Baokang back in his chair.

"No." Jinghao stretched out her index finger and shook Xiao Baokang, then said, "You are still young, you will have a stomachache if you eat it."

While talking, Jinghao reached out to touch Xiao Baokang's belly, and then asked him, "Baokang, do you want a stomachache?"

Xiao Baokang shook his head quickly: "Don't hurt."

He knows what pain means, it means suffering, so he doesn't want it.

"That's right." Jing Hao said with her eyes bent, "Er Niang has asked Pomegranate to make you the beef noodles you like."

"Mian Mian~" Xiao Baokang's eyes lit up, and when he heard that it was his favorite food, the little guy became more enthusiastic.

He didn't have the unlovely look that made him take a few extra steps at ordinary times.

"Yes, I made noodles for you." Jing said with a smile. She personally prefers to eat rice. After all, she was an authentic southerner in her previous life. Not much has changed.

But Xiao Baokang is different. He probably followed his father and prefers to eat pasta than rice. Steamed buns, wontons, and noodles are Xiao Baokang's favorite.

Although Jing Hao likes to eat rice, she did not force her son to like to eat rice with her. On the contrary, after knowing that Xiao Baokang prefers to eat pasta, she began to think about the pasta that she knew and ate in her previous life Which ones are suitable for Xiao Baokang to eat.

But Xiao Baokang is still young, and the food he eats must be bland, so many of them are not suitable for him. As for the beef noodles she is talking about now, they have also been improved.

The soup base is a broth made from beef and beef bones. The beef is minced, and some vegetables are added after the noodles. Except for these ingredients, there are very few seasonings, so the beef noodles served on the table look like It's very light.

However, Xiao Baokang has never seen anything in the world, and when such bland beef noodles are served in front of him, it is no different from delicacies from mountains and seas.

Xiao Baokang, who is usually lazy in everything and speaks slowly, is a lot more active in front of food. After the nanny helped him wrap his pocket around, the little guy couldn't wait to eat.

Because Xiao Baokang doesn’t know how to use chopsticks yet, it’s not suitable to use a spoon to eat noodles, so Jinghao asked someone to make a set of wooden forks for him. The front ends of the forks are round, so Jinghao I don't worry that Xiao Baokang will accidentally hurt himself when he eats with a fork.

But after all, she is a mother-in-law. Even though she knows that Xiao Baokang is very worry-free about eating (because he is too lazy to do dangerous actions), Jing Hao still focuses more on him. body.

"There are slaves watching, so you can eat with peace of mind." Kangxi didn't start serving Xiao Baokang, but picked a rice dumpling that looked a little better by himself and peeled it. After peeling, he sent it to Jing Hao said in front of him, "Come and taste the zongzi made by yourself, how about it?"

Why did Kangxi know which zongzi was wrapped quietly?

It's very simple, because this pile of zongzi is distinct in size, and a discerning person can tell at a glance that the big zongzi is made in a quiet and easy way, and the small zongzi is made in a small and healthy way.

Watching Kangxi give herself the first peeled rice dumpling, Jinghao raised her eyes and glanced at him, the smile in her eyes gradually grew stronger, after she picked up the chopsticks and put the tip of the rice dumpling into her mouth, the taste was unexpected good?

After the outermost Ruo leaves are subjected to high temperature, the attractive plant fragrance locked in the leaves will be released, sticking to the glutinous rice and red beans, while the meaty aroma of pork and the salty egg yolk wrapped in the innermost The oil will also soak the red beans and glutinous rice, so when you eat it, the glutinous rice and red beans reveal a complex deliciousness, which makes people feel full of fragrance.

"Delicious." Jing Hao praised herself without blushing, "I'm really a genius."

It's the first time you can make zongzi so delicious, isn't that a genius?

Kangxi was amused by Jinghao's stinking (not) (immodest) (immodest) (immodest) (faceless) speech, but he didn't forget to echo her: "It's really delicious. It's the first time I can make zongzi like this Delicious, it seems that you are indeed very talented."

Liang Jiugong, who watched Kangxi blow a rainbow fart to Jing Hao without taking a bite: "..."

Long live you can spoil her.

"By the way, I have something to tell you." Kangxi said suddenly.

"What's the matter?" Jing Hao asked.

……

Jing Hao and Xiao Baokang were not the only ones making zongzi today, Mr. Pinggui was also asking his servants to prepare ingredients for her, and planned to start making zongzi.

Although Ping Guiren has been in the palace for so long and has not been turned over by Kangxi, she is the concubine sister of Empress Renxiao. Even though Empress Renxiao has passed away for many years, the little prince is still there.

In addition, when nobleman Ping entered the palace, both Gabra and Suo'etu had prepared a lot of money for her, so even if she was not the empress of Chuxiu Palace, she would not have any favor, but nobleman Ping If you want to make zongzi, someone has prepared all the ingredients today.

Mr. Pinggui's purpose of making zongzi today is of course not to be greedy for a bite, but to make it for the little prince.

After Ping Guiren received some advice from Suo'etu before entering the palace, he knew that he was not suitable to compete for favor at all. After all, Jinghao is in the limelight now, and so many concubines in the harem have been defeated, not to mention that they are still dissatisfied now. 13 year old myself.

So even if Kangxi didn't turn over his own brand, Pinggui was not discouraged, but put more energy on the little prince.

Because for Pinggui, what is more important now is not to get Kangxi's favor, but to win back the little prince's heart.

Pinggui didn't know how Jinghao managed to win over the little prince in the first place, but she thought, she just started with the young prince's death of his mother.

After all, the little prince lost his mother when he was born, and Kangxi couldn't take care of him all the time, so he inevitably longed for family affection more than other children.

If that's the case, then it's easy to handle.

Ping Guiren thought that in terms of blood relationship, she is closer to the little prince than Jinghao, and she looks somewhat similar to her sister-in-law, Queen Renxiao, and the little prince has feelings for his biological mother whom he has never met. A heart of admiration.

As long as she perseveres in caring for him, then after a long time, the little prince will naturally know who he should get closer to.

In this regard, Mr. Pinggui is very confident, because firstly, Jinghao is not the biological mother of the little prince after all, and she has her own son, and secondly, the little prince will grow up day by day, and sooner or later he will understand that there are only them, the Hesheli, in the world He is the one who supports him wholeheartedly.

I have to say that there is nothing wrong with Pinggui's thinking, and the strategy is correct, but the problem is that the relationship between Jinghao and the little prince is not as complicated as she or even others think.

If it wasn't for the coincidence at the beginning, Jinghao wouldn't have any intersection with the little prince at all, and if the little prince wasn't because of an experience in the cold palace, he wouldn't be so close to Jinghao and like Jinghao.

The little prince is indeed young, but it doesn't mean he can't tell the good from the bad. He can feel whether Jinghao's kindness to him is out of use or sincerity.

Mr. Pinggui's words are indeed true, the little prince is indeed more eager for family affection than other children, or to put it more directly, he is indeed a little lacking in love, and what he lacks is maternal love.

Humans want what they don't have.

When he was younger, the little prince didn't think there was anything wrong with not having a biological mother, because there were very few children in the palace at that time, and the people around him didn't know what to say in the little prince's ears.

But then the elder brother returned to the palace, everything was different.

And just when the little prince realized this and began to yearn for maternal love, Jinghao happened to appear again.

The little prince didn't regard Jing Hao as his biological mother, but he did start to be greedy for Jing Hao's kindness to him.

Otherwise, the little prince wouldn't have gone to Jingxiu Palace repeatedly regardless of whether Jinghao was deposed or favored.

Closer to home, it is precisely because of this reason that the little prince doesn't know how to refuse Ping Guiren's repeated favors.

Because nobleman Ping didn't want to use him or plot against him, he just wanted to treat him well instead of his grandfather and mother-in-law.

Plus……

"His Royal Highness, since it's Ping Guiren's wish, why don't you accept it?" Tingqin is not only the eldest maid next to the little prince, but also the close maidservant of the former Empress Renxiao. the same.

Because of this level of relationship, Tingqin will naturally give support to Ping Guiren, she said, "Ping Guiren is not favored by the emperor now, if you don't associate with her, then her life in the palace may be difficult."

There are people with red tops and whites everywhere in the world, but where there are the most people with red tops and whites, it is undoubtedly in the Forbidden City.

If Noble Ping is not favored and the little prince doesn't walk around with her, even if she comes from the Hesheli clan, she will be neglected by the servants in the long run.

After staying in the Forbidden City for so long, Tingqin naturally understood.

Hearing this, the little prince took a look at Tingqin and said: "Then accept it, and let someone take care of Chuxiu Palace by the way."

Although the little prince is a junior, he has a high status, so it doesn't make people feel that it is against harmony to say such words from his mouth.

At least after listening to the piano, he just smiled and said: "The servant obeys the order, and the servant will also tell Pinggui the prince's wishes."

Hearing this, the little prince didn't say anything, but went straight back to the house. When he was eating, he saw that the rice dumplings given to him by Pinggui were also on the table, and the little prince lowered his eyes slightly.

-

Time passed unhurriedly to the first day of May, and the annual Dragon Boat Festival party in the Forbidden City began.

As I said before, the Dragon Boat Festival is to wear a five-poison bag, and the implication is to trap the five poisons in the bag so that it cannot cause trouble ([-]).

Although Jing Hao is not a superstitious person, she still understands the principle of doing as the Romans do, so Jing Hao, who asked her servants to prepare the five-poison bag in advance, put it on Xiao Baokang directly on the first day of May.

It is impossible for Jinghao to embroider it herself, and the five-poison bags can not only be carried in purses, there are many other five-poison bags made of different materials.

For example, the five-poison bag Xiao Baokang is wearing now is carved out of white jade, and the one prepared for the little prince is also the same, it looks very delicate.

It is said to be a five-poison bag, but it is more like a work of art.

The prince has worn many five poisonous bags since he was a child, no matter how delicate and beautiful he has worn them, but he likes the one Jinghao prepared for him.

There is no other reason, but because the five-poison bag that Jing Hao prepared for him is exactly the same as the one that Xiao Baokang wears, and they are a pair at a glance.

But apart from Jinghao preparing the five poison bags for the little prince, Pinggui also prepared for him, and the ones Pinggui prepared were the ones he embroidered.

I have to say that Ping Guiren's female celebrity is really amazing, because the five poisonous patterns of centipede, scorpion, gecko, etc. on the five poisonous bag she embroidered for the little prince are all vivid.

You can tell at a glance that a lot of effort has been put into it.

This was Pinggui's wish, and the little prince accepted it on the spot, but he didn't wear it, because he still wanted to wear the brother's five-poison bag with his brother Baokang.

But when the little prince woke up the next day, when the servant was helping him to dress, what he put on was not the white jade five-poison bag that Jing had prepared for him, but the one embroidered for him by nobleman Ping.

The little prince frowned: "Where is the five-poison bag that Gu wore yesterday?"

"I saw you yesterday, the precious five-poison bag my concubine prepared for you, so I put it away for you. After all, I'm going to watch the dragon boat race today. There are so many people in a mess. If you accidentally touch it or drop it, you Don't you feel bad?"

Tingqin explained to the little prince with a smile, "That's why the slave specially replaced it with the five-poison bag embroidered for you by Mr. Pinggui. Because the materials are different, it is also light and not easy to bump."

"It's okay, just be careful." The little prince said after taking off the five-poison bag that the slave put on him, "Bring the original one to Gu."

"I'll get it now, servant." Hearing Qin's response, he turned around and took back the white jade five-poison bag that he had put away for the little prince, then squatted down and put it on for the little prince, and said with a smile, "If this happens It’s gone, it’s gone, Prince, don’t feel bad about it.”

"Gu will not be distressed." The little prince said, "Because Gu won't let it be bumped, let alone get rid of it."

Listening to the piano...

The little prince glanced at Tingqin, then looked away.

Because Tingqin and Tingqi are old people around Empress Renxiao, the little prince has always trusted them. In fact, they have lived up to his trust in them all these years and have always been loyal to him. .

But ever since Mr. Pinggui entered the palace, the little prince discovered something was wrong, or something that violated harmony.

The little prince is still sure that Tingqin and the others are loyal to him, but he has never thought about the question, and now he has to start thinking, is Tingqin and the others loyal to him because he is his empress's child?Or is it because the Empress is a member of the Hesheli family, and he is the child of the Empress, so she is loyal to him?

Or to put it more simply, is Tingqin and the others really loyal to him?Or is he just one of their allies?

The little prince didn't want to doubt the old man who had served him for so many years, but some of Tingqin's recent actions made him doubt her motives.

It's true that nobleman Ping is his aunt, but is it for him or nobleman Ping that Tingqin works so hard to win her favor in front of him?

The little prince pursed his lips, but did not explode on the spot.

Tingqin naturally doesn't know what the little prince is thinking. It's true that she doesn't have any malice towards the little prince, but it's also true that she wants the little prince to get closer to the nobleman.

In her opinion, since Mrs. Pinggui is the little prince's aunt, and both of them have the blood of the Hesheli clan, then they are on the same boat, and she will do her part to make the little prince more happy. It doesn't hurt to accept Lady Ping early and get close to her, right?

……

What happened in Yuqing Palace, let alone quiet, even Kangxi didn't know about it, after five days of lively Dragon Boat Festival, this grand party finally came to an end.

It has to be said that Concubine Xiangui lost her love brain and was really capable when she was doing things seriously, so after the Dragon Boat Festival, both Concubine Xiangui and Concubine Xiang were rewarded by Kangxi.

Obviously, this kind of reward is different from the rewards received by the concubines before and after the Dragon Boat Festival. The rewards that everyone received before are the usual ones, while the rewards received by Concubine Xiangui and Concubine Xiang are considered to be a reward.

Concubine Xian Gui and Concubine Xiang know this, other people in the harem know it, and Jing Hao naturally knows it too, but what she doesn't know is——

Concubine Xiangui and Concubine Xiang were rewarded, they deserved it, so why did she also get the reward?

Jing took a look at the lacquer box that Wei Zhu ordered someone to open. Inside were eight pairs of Wan fans with different styles and materials.

The so-called Wan fans are actually round fans. Jing Hao stretched out her hand to pick up one of them. The handle was made of white jade, and the tentacles were slightly cool. Shaking it a couple of times brought a gust of wind.

After Jinghao asked Wei Zhu and the others to give the lychees as rewards, she asked them to put away everything except the round fan she was holding.

She thought, Kangxi sent her the round fan because he was afraid that she would be jealous of Concubine Xiangui and Concubine Xiang?

In fact, this is true, but it is not only that.

When Kangxi came to Jingxiu Palace that day, he saw that Jinghao was holding the round fan he gave her, and before he could speak, a smile appeared on his face.

After chatting with Jinghao for a while, Kangxi asked Jinghao: "How is it? Have you considered it? Do you want to go with me to escape the summer heat outside the Great Wall?"

Yes, this year Kangxi is planning to go out for the first time to escape the summer heat. This trip will take at least two months, so Kangxi must take someone with him. As for who to take?

The first thing Kangxi thought of at that time was to be quiet.

If it were the same as before, Jinghao would definitely agree, but now with Xiao Baokang...

The little guy is not yet two years old. It is definitely impossible to go to Mongolia with them at this age.

Jing Hao said: "If I go with you to spend the summer outside the Great Wall, wouldn't I have to separate from Baokang for at least two months?"

Hearing what Jinghao said, Kangxi didn't show it on his face, but some disappointment still came out of his words: "Then you mean you won't go with me?"

Jing Hao glanced at Kangxi, then smiled and said: "Who said that? I'll go with you."

Seeing Kangxi looking at her, her eyes were obviously brighter than before, Jing Hao bent her eyes and said: "Anyway, it's only two months."

Kangxi wanted to hold back his laughter, but he still couldn't bear the sudden surprise of the heavenly general, and deliberately asked Jinghao: "We've been separated for so long, what if Baokang misses you?"

"That's right." Jing Hao pretended to think for a while, and then said seriously, "Then I let him... be strong?"

Xiao Baokang: "...???"
