The Struggle History of the Fourteenth Qing Dynasty

Update time: 21-06-1910 42:[-]

Kangxi fell asleep to the nagging of Concubine De.

He has been quite tired recently, and it is rare to find a trace of tranquility in Yonghe Palace. Soon, Concubine De found that he was asleep and stopped talking. Instead, she guarded Kangxi, holding a silk thread in her hand, tying the knot .

She used two beautiful bead beads, tied with a rope, and tied to the rope. This was used to hang Xiao Shisan and Xiao Shishi on the pigtails, so the light green color was used.

The child is still young, and his hair is also soft. It is braided into a small braid, and it is only a little bit big. It looks better with some things.

But you can't drop too heavy things, so as not to pull the child's scalp.

After finishing it, after thinking about it, I edited a larger one, this one, let's give it to the fourth child.

As soon as the weaving was finished, Kangxi woke up and saw Concubine De there weaving things. The two were small and one was big, and the styles were different, but the beads used were good, they were tribute north beads.

Emperor Kangxi reached out and took one, which happened to be the big one: "Who is this for?"

This bead is as big as a pigeon's egg, it's a good thing, but if a child wears it, it's a little too big, and it will cause headaches.

"This is for the fourth child. The last time I looked at the net on his head, it was a golden horn. It seems that he wore it during the Chinese New Year, right? Thinking of weaving another bead for him? This The northern bead was given to your concubine during the Chinese New Year, and it happened not to be perforated..." Concubine De took another bead: "Weave two for him and wear them differently. Boys, always I'm not careful, the last time Xiao Shishi took a fancy to his purse, he reached out to ask for it, and he also gave it, really, the used Xiao Shishi is getting skinnier..."

"Make up two for me." Kangxi put the things back into Concubine De's small basket: "Come here!"

"Long Live Lord!" Liang Jiugong was right outside the door, and as soon as Kangxi called for someone, he came in.

"Go, give the ten golden pearls that were brought in as a tribute from the south to Concubine De." Kangxi ordered, "Go and fetch a bundle of golden tassels and a bundle of golden thread."

Liang Jiugong bent down and went out in response. The ten golden pearls came from the south as a tribute and were stored in the emperor's private treasury. Without Kangxi's nod, Liang Jiugong would not have opened the door of the private treasury, and Kangxi ordered him to do so. If he made a personal trip, he wouldn't worry if someone else got into the private treasury.

"Use these, let's make up ten." Kangxi thought for a while: "Two for me, two for the prince."

"Then, two for the fourth, two for the thirteenth, and two for the 13th!" Concubine De bargained with Kangxi: "Is it the manual fee of the concubine?"

"Your manual fee is quite expensive! I have ten pendants, and you have to leave six!" Kangxi laughed loudly: "Okay! You have the final say! I will have dinner with you today, and I will go to see the chapter later. Jiashi."

Zhang Jia was pregnant again, Concubine De wasn't jealous at all: "Yes, sister Zhang Jia hasn't been shy for the past two days, she's been eating since her appetite has started, and she's looking better."

Concubine De is very good at taking care of pregnant women. She has given birth to several children. Although there are only three standing, she is very good at taking care of her. Otherwise, she would not have given birth one after another, both boys and girls.

Taking care of the pregnant Zhang Jiashi is also very thoughtful.

This is where Kangxi is most satisfied with her.

After seeing nobleman Zhang Jia, Kangxi ate at Concubine De's place, but the people around Shisan and Fourteen ran back to report to Concubine De that the two young elder brothers ate at Concubine De's.

"Dining at the fourth brother's place?" Kangxi was a little surprised, because the elder brothers in the palace seldom visited, and only the fourteenth, young, lively, wandering around, this time he actually got mixed up with the fourth elder brother Go to dinner: "What are they doing at Lao Si's place?"

The eunuch who came to report the letter was Laixi who was in front of Little Fourteen. Although he was a little younger, he was eloquent. Hearing the inquiry from the Lord Long Live, his bun face was wrinkled: "The little master is clamoring to eat quail. For the steamed custard, I also want to eat spiced sparrow eggs, and I want to have some snake soup, but the fourth elder brother did not agree, and only asked people to prepare quail steamed eggs and spiced sparrow eggs. I heard that the dining room prepared squab soup... . . . "

These are some weird things, but they are all things that are suitable for children to eat.

"This little Fourteen! No wonder he tormented his Thirteenth Brother all day long the past few days, insisting on borrowing his Thirteenth Brother's little slingshot, so he wanted to shoot birds' nests!" Concubine De's willow eyebrows stood up angrily: " Why doesn't he climb a tree to the sky?"

Kangxi also knew something about this, and it was Li Dequan who told him that Elder Fourteen would look up the tree every day to see if there were any bird nests on it, and also wanted to know if there were any bird eggs in the bird nests... The co-author wanted to eat birds egg?

It's a pity, for the sake of safety, the trees in the palace are not tall. There are only a few tall trees, and there are no birds nesting there. Most of them are short trees that are only one person tall.

This is because there are assassins hiding on the top. The trees in the palace are either tall with only a small canopy, or low and only half the height of a person. If there are tall trees, then there will be palace people pruning the branches to fight for the top. Sparse and loose, not to mention Tibetans, even a slightly larger bird can't hide.

Not to mention a bird's nest.

"Don't be angry, children are very curious." Kangxi can only explain in this way, his little son, who does not love him?

"Your majesty, just be like the fourth child. Just let him go. The guy who climbs trees all day long to dig out birds. After a few days, all the concubines are afraid that he will go to the house to expose the tiles." Concubine De couldn't laugh or cry: "Xiao Shi Such an obedient child as San, let little Fourteen take care of her wildly."

"Boys are not naughty, so they can't be as quiet and elegant as princesses, right?" Kangxi really likes lively children, especially the little fourteen who has a good relationship with him. Laixi: "Let the Imperial Dining Room make another pot of vegetarian dishes and send them over. They are not allowed to drink cold food, um, and send over a pot of hot sweet goat's milk."

"According to the order."

After Liang Jiugong went to handle the matter in person, only Kangxi and Concubine De were left in the room. Kangxi looked at Concubine De and said, "Didn't you not want Si Elder Brother before?"

"Look at what Long Live Lord said, it's not that the concubine doesn't want it, it's that the concubine can't have it!" Concubine De knew that this was a knot in Kangxi's heart. If it was not solved, there would be big problems sooner or later. Now this opportunity is just right, so she spread it out and said: "Si elder brother, it is also a piece of meat that fell from the concubine, can you not want it? But at that time, Empress Xiaoyi was like that, if the concubine Bringing the fourth elder brother back to the Yonghe Palace, what hope does she have? But I didn't expect that if the concubine wanted to go back to the fourth elder brother, Empress Xiaoyi would still go... Speaking of which, the concubine would like to thank her, and the empress Xiaoyi would like to send the fourth elder brother back to Yonghe Palace. Brother taught me very well, and my concubines also liked it, but unfortunately, this child failed to keep her..."

Concubine De used to be a maid in Empress Xiaoyi's palace, and later became a female official. Later, she was sent to Kangxi's dragon bed by Empress Xiaoyi.

Speaking of it, it has something to do with Empress Xiaoyi. Her remarks today made Kangxi silent for a long time: "Xiaoyi...is a good mother."

"The concubine knows that the fourth elder brother would go to Chengqian Palace to kowtow every year on the anniversary of Empress Xiaoyi's death. It was just last year that it rained heavily. There was no other way to persuade him. The concubine personally held up an umbrella to cover him from the rain. , Empress Xiaoyi who paid homage together, remembering it, it was like yesterday. The concubine still remembers the first time she went to pay her respects to Empress Xiaoyi. Boredom, let the concubine make you happy, and said that the life in the palace is to be spent with a smile..." As he spoke, Concubine De also fell in love: "The concubine was a little worried back then. , will be cleaned up by the imperial concubine, come to show off or something, but no, the concubine gave birth at a young age, and I don’t understand anything. Thanks to her care, the fourth elder brother, in those years, there were too few children in the palace who could stand upright Well, even Empress Renxiao’s son-in-law died young, and the concubine was really afraid of the fourth elder brother... At that time, I was in constant panic every day, and the imperial concubine told the concubine that it’s okay, the fourth elder brother looks good, With a healthy body and bones, he will definitely grow up... The concubine is counting the days like this, and later, I found out that this child is really, stand still!"

"Yeah, in those years, I was also worried every day, worried about the world, and worried about my children..." Kangxi stared at a pot of seven-star crabapple flowers in full bloom by the window and was stunned.

He was also afraid in those years!

But he couldn't show it.

Because he is the son of heaven, he is the emperor, and he is the only hope for the old, weak, women and children in this palace.

How did the previous dynasty perish?There are many reasons, one of the biggest reasons, in his opinion, is that he has no children.

Several emperors in the previous dynasty had no sons, and the princes were either adopted or brothers.

The beginning of chaos!

No one knew what these two people said, and Kangxi's imperial dining room was dedicated to serving him alone, and the chef inside would not cook for the second person unless it was rewarded by Kangxi.

It is a very honorable thing for the emperor to appreciate food in the palace.

At this time, in the elder brother's office, Xiao Shisi was standing on the ground with Xiao Shisan, with a sullen face, being tested by the fourth elder brother, the future Emperor Yongzheng, for his school homework.

"One one gets one, one two gets two..." the child said in a childish voice.

Multiplication formulas are the basic calculation rules for multiplication, division, and square extraction in ancient calculations. It has been used for more than 2000 years. The nine-nine table is also the basic skill of elementary school arithmetic.

The multiplication formulas in ancient times were from top to bottom, starting from "Nine Nine 81" and ending with "One Yi Ru Yi", which is opposite to the current order. Therefore, the ancients used the two characters "Nine Nine" at the beginning of the multiplication formulas as The name of this formula is also called Jiujiu Table, Jiujiuge, Jiuyinge, and Jiujiu Multiplication Table.

It was not until the 81th and [-]th centuries that it was reversed and became our nine-nine formula "one by one gets one... ninety-nine [-]".

The fourth elder brother said that you have to recite it before you can order. Xiao Shishi has already recited it, and now Xiao Shisan is reciting it. After both of them have passed, the fourth elder brother allows them both to wash their hands and eat snacks, but the snacks It is also the kind of soft and glutinous milk beans, one bite at a time, just put a few in a small plate, don't eat if there are too many, I am afraid that if you eat too much in a while, you will not be able to eat it.

After eating snacks, I have to go out for a walk again, wash my face, wash my hands, climb onto the kang, and sit there waiting for dinner...

When they heard that there was a meal rewarded by Huang Ama, the fourth elder brother and Xiao Shisan respectfully thanked each other, and Xiao Shisi jumped up and cheered: "Long live Huang Ama!"

It really makes me cry.

On the other hand, the fourth elder brother thanked his kindness sincerely. During the meal, he took care of the two younger brothers to eat and drink. He was very conscientious, but too conscientious. , the famous "tired emperor".

With such a character, if he is not exhausted, who is exhausted?

"Brother, you eat!" Little Fourteen took pity on his brother once, and gave half a bowl of his own small bowl of custard to Fourth Brother: "You need to eat more, Erniang is always nagging that you have lost weight. "

"Well, you eat too." The fourth elder brother is a standard "eat without talking, sleep without talking", it is good to be able to say a word.
