[Qing Chuan] The daily life of the seven princes
Chapter 100
Aunt Su Ma asked again: "There are so many, can you eat it?"
Yinyou patted his stomach: "No problem!"
The empress dowager is so old, how can she eat a lot of food that is not easy to digest.Fortunately, the imperial concubine's bag was small and exquisite, so it's okay to eat one, but it's not okay to eat too much.
She smiled and asked the little guy: "I have bitten these zongzi, don't you dislike them?"
"Don't dislike it," the little guy couldn't wait to eat a meat dumpling, "You are my Ukumama, how could I dislike you?"
He ate the zongzi so deliciously, the corners of his mouth were still stained with the juice of braised pork.This little guy has too many criminal records.Aunt Su Ma was worried that he would not digest again, so she hurriedly asked someone to make a cup of hawthorn water.
A little eunuch came in at the door and said that the altar had been set up and asked Madam Su to go and have a look.
So, Aunt Su Ma asked Seventh Brother to stay with the Empress Dowager for a while, and she was busy with other things.
After returning to the main hall after busying, I found that the Empress Dowager was dozing off sitting on the kang with Buddhist beads. The little guy opposite had eaten two or three of the rice dumplings and the hawthorn water.
Fortunately, just after taking a bite of the third rice dumpling, Aunt Su Ma hurried over and took the rice dumpling from his hand calmly: "Brother Qi, don't you have to send rice dumplings elsewhere? It's getting late."
These words successfully attracted the little guy's attention, and he was still a little annoyed, why he forgot the business while he was eating.
Biyun at the side came up to wipe his mouth with a handkerchief, but Yinyou took it and touched it carelessly.
Biyun bent down to help him put on his boots, the little guy ran to the Empress Dowager, tilted his head to look, and found that Madam Ukuma seemed to have fallen asleep.
Then he turned around, took La Aunt Su Ma's hand and said softly, "I'm coming for lunch later."
Aunt Su Ma touched his belly: "Can you still eat?"
The little guy nodded seriously: "I can eat it, I can eat it!"
So, he carried the basket and left the gate of the Compassionate Ning Palace.
The next destination is Ningshou Palace.In addition to the empress dowager, Ningshou Palace Li also has the fifth elder brother and the fifth princess.
The fifth elder brother and the fifth princess were playing in the yard, one with the cat in his arms and the other with the rabbit.When Yinyou entered, the fifth princess put down the rabbit and ran towards him: "Brother Seven, Brother Seven!"
The fifth princess is more than four years old, she is a beautiful and smart little girl.She grew up beside the Empress Dowager, and Kangxi also had a preference for this daughter, giving her more supplies than the fourth and sixth princesses.
Yinyou hugged her tightly: "Let Seventh Brother see if you have grown taller."
The empress dowager has always raised her children well, and they are fed with everything that is good. Whether it is the fifth elder brother or the fifth princess, they are much taller than children of the same age.
The fifth princess gestured: "Of course I've grown taller. Look, I'm not much shorter than you. You shouldn't be as tall as me when you were four years old."
Of course not, not only is she not taller than her, it is simply far worse than her.
Yinyou pinched her cheeks, asked Zhao Cheng to bring the basket over, and then called out to Fifth Brother: "Fifth Brother, come quickly, my mother-in-law made rice dumplings, they are delicious."
The fifth princess picked a salty one, and the fifth elder brother picked a sweet one.Walking to the main hall of Ningshou Palace, the queen mother also picked a sweet one.
Before leaving, the fifth princess kept pulling Yinyou's robe and sent him to the gate of the palace.
The little girl has always been very clingy to him, Yinyou is not surprised at all.Still stretched out his hand to pinch her face, and asked, "Are you reluctant to part with your seventh brother?"
The Fifth Brother hugged the taro and snorted beside him: "She wants to ask you for candy."
The fifth princess retorted: "Who wants to eat candy, I think it is fifth brother who wants to eat candy."
Fifth elder brother: "I don't want to eat."
"You just want to eat."
The two of them grew up together in Ningshou Palace, and bickering was commonplace.
The fifth princess immediately hugged Yinyou's arm tightly: "I just can't bear Brother Seven, can't I?"
Brother Wu immediately put the cat on the ground, and when he came over, he grabbed Yinyou's other arm: "Xiao Qi is a boy, so he doesn't play with girls."
"Why not?" The fifth princess pulled Yinyou towards her, "Will you play with me, Brother Seven?"
Yinyou's head just nodded halfway, and was dragged by the fifth brother on the other side: "Xiao Qi, are you still a boy?"
The little guy could only nod again: "Yes, of course!"
Therefore, the fifth elder brother and the fifth princess asked in unison: "Who do you want to play with?"
"..."
Yinyou looked to the left and then to the right, and broke his arm out of their hands: "I, I, I... I'm going to deliver rice dumplings to the prince's brother."
The little guy ran out of Ningshou Palace as if he was running away, and he looked back while running, as if he was afraid that his brother and sister would tie him back.
Fortunately, the fifth elder brother and the fifth princess did not follow, the little guy was relieved and leaned on the railing beside him to breathe.
After thinking about it, he beckoned and called Zhao Cheng over. He took a zongzi from the basket and was about to unwrap it.Zhao Cheng looked at him in surprise: "Little master, do you still want to eat?"
Yinyou nodded: "Fifth Brother and Fifth Sister scared me, I have to eat another shock, and replenish my strength by the way."
"..."
He didn't dare to stop Zhao Cheng if he wanted to eat, so the group could only stand by the roadside, waiting for him to eat the zongzi.
The little guy who finished eating the rice dumplings went straight to Yuqing Palace, and just passed through the front yard when he ran into the person he was most afraid of.
Mammy Xiong came up to greet him enthusiastically: "Hey! Seventh elder brother is here, and my maidservant greets you."
Yinyou nodded calmly: "Mother Wolf doesn't need to be polite."
"..."
The kid who can never forget any book by heart, after so many years, still can't tell the last name of the fierce-looking old nanny next to the prince's brother.
Madam Xiong was already used to it, and didn't care what he called her. She took a step forward and said, "The prince accompanied the emperor's temple to worship the ancestors this morning. He just returned to the palace and is changing clothes in the warm pavilion. This servant will go in and report."
When she took a step forward, Yinyou took a step back, with her hands behind her back, and her ten fingers were twisted into a ball.
Yuqing Palace is not big, but the terrain is very complicated. The surrounding palaces form a long and narrow courtyard, and the light is blocked. Although the sun is shining brightly in May, the courtyard in the middle still looks a bit dark.
Yinyou waved his hand: "No, no, no need... I'll go in and find him myself."
While talking, the little guy Yin has already walked quickly, even using the steps Mr. Fu taught him to practice martial arts. In a flash, he has jumped onto the platform in front of Dunben Hall.
Mammy Xiong blinked again, and she only had time to see the hem of the robe lifted by Fifth Prince, and she had already entered the hall.
Yinyou went all the way through the second room and came to the innermost warm pavilion. The prince just changed his court clothes and put on ordinary clothes.Looking up to see Yinyou, with a smile on his face, he waved to him: "Xiaoqi, come here!"
The little guy rushed over in three or two steps, hugged the prince's waist, and acted like a baby in his arms as he did when he was a child: "Brother prince, I'm here to bring you zongzi, which was made by my mother herself."
The crown prince led him to the round table outside, sat on the stool by himself, and let Xiaotuanzi lean against his arms: "Then you came in time, I am really hungry."
Before dawn, Kangxi was going to the Taimiao. The crown prince and elder brother got up at three o'clock in the morning. The court clothes and the pearls and the crown... This outfit is troublesome enough to wear. You have to go out to the Qing Palace after you wear it. Where do you have time to eat? thing.
Worshiping ancestors is a lengthy and cumbersome ceremony, standing motionless for a whole morning, not to mention eating or drinking water.
The prince said he was hungry, Xiaotuanzi was happy, and asked Zhao Cheng to bring the basket over quickly.While taking out the rice dumplings, he introduced: "Sweet rice dumplings include red dates, lotus seeds, raisins... Salty rice dumplings include bacon, ham, and salted egg yolk... Which one do you like, Brother Prince?"
The prince made a very embarrassed expression: "Well... I don't know which one to choose. Does Xiao Qi like sweet or salty food?"
Xiaotuanzi chuckled: "It's the grown-ups who make the choice, I want both!"
"Hahahahahaha!" The prince reached out to touch his stomach, and patted him twice like patting a watermelon, "Quickly tell the prince, how much did you eat this morning?"
Yinyou counted to him with his fingers: "Two, three, four!"
The prince laughed loudly: "No wonder the little belly has bulged into a frog."
Yinyou took one casually and handed it to the counter: "Brother Prince, eat this."
The prince asked curiously, "Why?"
Xiaotuanzi said, "This is ham."
The prince was puzzled: "How do you know?"
Yinyou showed it to him: "The thread that binds the rice dumplings is different, which means the taste is different. The ham is red, and the red dates are also red..."
The prince looked at him leisurely: "Then how do you distinguish between ham and red dates?"
Yinyou pointed to another basket: "Sweet rice dumplings are over there hahaha."
The prince put his arms around him, and the two brothers laughed together, not knowing what they were happy about.In the end, the prince decided to listen to him, and asked the eunuch who was waiting on the side to remove the ham and put it in a small dish.
The prince picked it up and took a bite. Sure enough, the rice dumplings made by the imperial concubine were different from those made by others.Not only is the ham delicious, but the glutinous rice is soaked in the fat of the meat. It is soft, glutinous and salty in the mouth, and it is very delicious.
Xiaotuanzi looked at him expectantly: "How about it, is the ham delicious?"
The prince looked at him with a smile: "Hasn't Xiao Qi eaten?"
Xiaotuanzi shook his head: "I haven't tasted ham yet."
As soon as he finished speaking, the crown prince picked up a piece of rice dumpling with ham and handed it to his mouth: "Then have a taste."
The little guy opened his mouth and ate it in one bite, and closed his eyes with a satisfied expression: "Ah, it's delicious!"
"Hahahahahahaha!" His bulging cheeks and exaggerated expression were so funny that the prince couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.
At this time, someone from outside the hall came in and stood at the door of the outer room, saluting respectfully: "I see the prince."
The prince turned his head back and immediately suppressed his smile.The look at Suo'etu is a bit complicated. The third uncle has been in and out of the East Palace quite frequently recently. Although the prince respectfully called him the third uncle in order to give him face, there is a difference between the two after all, and Suo'etu is Kangxi again. It's not good for the ministers who are discussing affairs around me to pass the secret to the emperor's father.
Yinyou also glanced at Suo'etu, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
He didn't like Suo'etu, probably because two years ago, he heard Suo'etu reprimanding Gao Shiqi in the square of Qianqing Palace.
That is no longer called reprimand, that is called insult.In public, it's okay to call Gao Shiqi a servant of his family, and even insult his mother, wife and daughter.For a first-rank official in the court, what he did was really disrespectful.
It's a big festival, of course Suo'etu didn't come into the palace to wish the prince a happy Dragon Boat Festival, he did have important matters to discuss with the prince.
"Master Suo, excuse me." The prince only glanced at him, then turned his gaze back to Xiaotuanzi, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.He took the veil from He Yuzhu's hand, and carefully wiped a grain of glutinous rice from the corner of his mouth for him.
Suo'etu stood aside quietly, watching the scene of brothers and friends, but there was no disturbance in his heart.
Born in the emperor's family, there is no brotherhood.Not to mention half-brothers, even twin brothers from the same mother have to fight to the death in front of the throne.
Besides, Brother Seven has a special status, so the big Tong's family is there, Tong Guogang is a first-class public, Tong Guowei is the Minister of the Guard and Minister of State, the emperor calls these two uncles, and the imperial concubine is the actual power holder in the harem.
Maybe at some point, Seventh Brother will be another aunt's son, and then things will be troublesome.
The crown prince could tell that Suo'etu had something to discuss with him, so he patted Yinyou on the shoulder and coaxed him: "Xiaoqi, do you still have to go elsewhere to deliver zongzi?"
Not only the prince saw Suo'etu's intention, but Yinyou also saw it.
The little guy nodded: "Yes."
He took a few more zongzi from the basket and put them on the table, and said with a smile: "I will only give one to others, brother prince, you can eat more."
"Thank you." The prince touched his little head, "Go."
Yinyou walked out and passed by Suo'etu, who cupped his hands and called out "Seventh Brother".Yinyou asked him: "Master Suo, do you want to eat rice dumplings?"
"Thank you Seventh Brother, I won't eat it."
Yinyou grinned at him: "It's just right, I don't have many here." After finishing speaking, he walked out of Dunben Hall with a bouncing bouncing.
Suo'etu: "..."
The prince looked at his back, turned and disappeared at the door, still with a doting smile on his face.
Walking out of Yuqing Palace, the next stop is that the little guy is going to the west to deliver rice dumplings to his brothers. During this time, he will pass by the Qianqing Palace. He struggles for a while whether to drop by and give one to Ama, and finally decides to give one.
So he sat under the shade of the tree again, and beckoned to Zhao Cheng: "Bring me another one."
"..."
Zhao Cheng wondered: "Little master, you have eaten a lot this morning, this glutinous rice is really hard to digest, or else, you should stop eating it."
"No, no, you must eat. I can't walk without eating."
Zhao Cheng couldn't beat him, so he had to choose the smallest one for him.
After eating, the little guy went straight to the Qianqing Palace.There is nothing to do when the ancestors come back to Kangxi, and the family banquet will not start until you in the afternoon.When Yinyou went, he had just changed his clothes and was sitting on the kang in Zhaoren Hall reading a book.
The little guy used to deliver food to everyone, and never had Ama's share, but today he was waiting.
Kangxi was not polite to him, the imperial concubine's craftsmanship had always been to his taste, and the rice dumplings were not big, so the emperor ate several in one breath.Next to him, Liang Jiugong could not peel the leaves as fast as he could eat them.
"Okay, okay, don't eat it!" The little guy at the side saw that he was taking one bite at a time, and he didn't intend to stop, and was a little anxious.He picked up the teacup on the kang table and handed it to Ama, "The glutinous rice is easy to digest, and it's time to accumulate food in a while."
He wasn't worried about Ama's accumulation of food, he was worried that Ama would eat up all the zongzi, leaving no other brothers.
Kangxi put down the chopsticks and plates, picked him up and put them in front of him, and showed him a stack of papers from the side.
The little guy took it and turned it over one by one: "January, daffodils: the spring breeze makes the jade come to clear the painting, and the night moon lingers on the embankment. February: Magnolia flowers, Jinying Cuicalyx with spring cold, and there are several kinds of flowers in the yellow flowers. .Peach Blossoms in March: Fenghuaxinsheyan, the old spring is strong...November, rose flowers: do not follow thousands of flowers, and bloom alone for a year. December, plum blossoms: Suyan Xuening trees, full of fragrance and wind branch."
Kangxi asked him: "I just asked you to tell me, shall we make a set of Twelve Flower God Cups?"
The little guy nodded, his eyes still on the stack of papers.Each flower painting is not only the flower itself, but it is actually quite interesting.For example, Peach Blossom is a peach tree with a pond underneath, and there are koi carps swinging in it; butterflies dance lightly in the peony bushes; mandarin ducks play in the lotus pond; jade rabbits squat under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree...
Yinyou liked it so much that he not only memorized all the poems, but also engraved the shape of each flower in his mind: "The Twelve Flower Cups must be very beautiful."
Kangxi put his arms around him: "Then Ama will test you, who is the God of Peach Blossom?"
"Mrs. Xi, she is the wife of Marquis Xi of Chu State. After Marquis Xi died, King Wen of Chu coveted her beauty, and Mrs. Xi died for her husband."
Kangxi nodded, it seemed that the little guy did his homework after going down, and he asked again: "Then who is the flower god of the lotus?"
The little guy folded his hands and pressed his chest, making a "Xizi holding a heart" shape: "It's Xi Shi."
"Where's Furong?"
"Mrs. Huarui."
"Moon season?"
"Wang Zhaojun."
"The last one, Plum Blossom?"
"It's Princess Shouyang!"
The question and answer of the father and son was full of wit and humor, and the palace echoed with the laughter of children.The emperor felt that this little guy was his pistachio. Although he was so angry that he wanted to beat him occasionally, most of the time he was happy.
"Go, write a few big characters, and let Ama see if your calligraphy has improved."
As soon as calligraphy was mentioned, the smile on the little guy's face disappeared immediately.He didn't want to tell Ama that since he received Mr. Fu's guidance, his handwriting became more and more ugly. Instead of learning the essence of his master, he threw away what he had learned before.
He got down from the kang and glanced at the western clock. It was almost eleven o'clock, and he had to rush back to the Compassionate Palace for lunch after delivering the rice dumplings.He bid farewell to Ama and left in a hurry.
When he came to Ganxi No. [-], he first lay down in front of the gate of the elder brother's yard and looked around, and the elder brother practiced boxing inside again.
The little guy had an idea and asked Zhao Cheng to break a branch from the big tree next to him.Holding it in his hand, he pushed the door and entered, and with a wave of the branch in his hand, he stabbed straight towards the elder brother's knee.
The elder brother didn't expect to be attacked by someone when he was practicing in his own yard. He dodged his attack with a wrong step sideways. At the same time, his fist had already come to Yinyou with a strong wind.
The little guy reacted quickly and leaned back, narrowly avoiding the big brother's punch.
Although he was the first to sneak attack, the little guy fell behind in terms of height, figure, and strength.
But Yinyou didn't give up, after dodging the elder brother's fist, the little guy relied on his small size and nimble body, stepped forward quickly, and the branch in his hand stabbed out again.
It was only when the elder brother swung that punch that he saw clearly that it was him, and he hesitated for a moment before giving the little brat a chance.I thought he would act coquettishly and beg for mercy, but in the blink of an eye, the branch in the boy's hand had already pierced his waist.
Just at the very moment, the elder brother glanced down, and found that the little guy was taking too many steps, his steps were a little flimsy, and he didn't stand firmly at all.
So, the bad-hearted elder brother stretched out his legs to trip him.Unexpectedly, the little boy's center of gravity was not on this leg at all, just as he was stretching his leg, Yinyou's leg also lifted up, and for some reason, he came close in three or two steps.At the same time, the branch in his hand lightly picked up a jade pendant from his waist.
With sharp eyes and quick hands, Yinyou bent down to grab the jade pendant, and the jade pendant fell firmly into his hands the moment it landed.
"!!!"
The eldest brother didn't even realize what happened just now, but just stood there with a shocked expression.He lowered his head to glance at his belt, and then went to look at Yinyou. The little brat threw the jade pendant into the air and caught it again, very proud of himself.
The little guy circled around him: "I won, I won! I want everyone in the Forbidden City to know that I won the martial arts competition... Woooo~~oooo~~~"
Before he could say the word "big brother", someone covered his mouth from behind and lazily picked him up.
The elder brother gritted his teeth and whispered in his ear: "It's just that the elder brother underestimated the enemy."
Yinyou went to break his hand, but it didn't work.Afraid of suffocating him, the elder brother took the initiative to let go of his mouth and nose, but still wrapped his arms around his waist with his other hand, holding him in front of his chest with one hand.
The little guy educated his elder brother solemnly: "A husband is a sword, show it to be false, open it to benefit, then use it to attack, and first use it to achieve."
The elder brother was taken aback: "What is this?"
Yinyou rolled his eyes: "This is Zhuangzi's "Speaking of the Sword", have you never learned it?"
No matter how he fights, it is impossible for him to be the opponent of big brother. If it is not for big brother's mercy just now, he has already been punched out of the courtyard.
But the little guy also caught the elder brother's carelessness when he saw it was him, and used a loophole in his steps to attract the other party to the bait, and finally picked the jade pendant from his waist with ease.
"Cut!" Big Brother carried him into the house, "It's too late for me to learn the art of war, so I don't have time to learn these things."
It was uncomfortable for Yinyou to be hugged by him like this, and after struggling for a few times, the elder brother put him down.
The little guy jumped up and down restlessly as soon as his feet landed, and ran to the elder brother. He planned to hang the jade pendant on him again. Hide the jade pendant: "I will do it myself!"
"Oh!"
Yinyou asked him, "Do you want sweet rice dumplings or salty rice dumplings?"
The elder brother sat down on the chair, with that foolish look again: "I don't like eating zongzi."
"No, you have to choose one."
The elder brother has nothing to do with him: "Then have a salty one."
Yinyou said: "Brother Prince also likes salty food."
Hearing that the crown prince likes salty ones, the elder brother immediately changed his mouth: "Sweet ones, I want sweet ones!"
Yinyou took one from the basket and handed it to him: "You should eat this."
Eldest brother didn't have a fake hand, so he peeled off the rice dumpling leaf and took a bite. After chewing twice, he realized something was wrong: "What is this?"
Yinyou cupped his face and smiled at him: "This is white rice dumpling hahahaha."
"..."
White rice dumplings are just white rice dumplings. The elder brother asked the eunuch to bring him a plate of soy sauce, dipped it in and ate it.
Yinyou thought, sure enough his elder brother likes salty rice dumplings, so he took another one with salted meat from the basket and handed it over.
Then he came to the yard of the third elder brother next door. The third elder brother liked sweet ones, so Yinyou gave him a lotus seed, which was sweet and bitter, but the third elder brother liked it very much. He kindly invited Xiaoqi to stay and accompany him Do a set of math problems.
The little guy waved his hand, with a thankful expression on his face: "No, no, I have to continue delivering zongzi."
So, the little guy came to the fourth elder brother's yard again.The fourth elder brother is reading a book in the study, and he is still reading the "Complete Book of Agricultural Affairs". He seems to be particularly interested in this now, especially about the northern wasteland reclamation and water conservancy projects.
Seeing his younger brother coming, he temporarily put down his book, and went to hold the little guy's hand and talk to him: "Why are you here?"
"I'll bring you zongzi."
Others only have one, so you have to pick a flavor.The fourth elder brother doesn't need to choose, because the imperial concubine has specially instructed that there is a basket with rice dumplings of various flavors, which is specially prepared for the eldest son.
In fact, the fourth elder brother matured very early. When he was very young, he was like a little adult. Now he doesn't have the slightest childlike style, and he doesn't have much interest in these sticky foods.
But the food was sent by the imperial concubine, it was Er Niang's wish, whether he likes it or not, he will eat it.
The two brothers didn't chat for a few words, Yinyou got up and went out: "I have to deliver zongzi to the eighth brother."
"Then why don't you come back for lunch later?"
Yinyou thought for a while: "But I promised to go back to the Compassion Ning Palace to have lunch with Mama Ukuma."
The fourth elder brother was a little disappointed, but he still smiled and said, "That's fine."
Yinyou suddenly ran back and put his arms around his brother's neck: "I'm going to sleep with my brother tonight!"
The fourth elder brother patted his head: "Okay, okay, go quickly."
Although he has always disliked the eighth elder brother's personality that loves to express everything, and he doesn't want Yinyou to have too much contact with Duo, but his younger brother has grown up and has his own ideas, so he can't interfere.
As soon as Yinyou walked into the eighth elder brother's yard, he realized that the good guy was so lively, not only the eighth elder brother was there, but Baotai was also there, and there were even nine elder brothers and ten elder brothers.
These two cubs are almost four years old, and they are called Yipi, especially Brother Nine, who jumps up and down like a monkey, and Brother Ten follows behind him stupidly.
When Baotai saw Yinyou, he rushed forward immediately, and complained aggrievedly: "Yesterday my fifth brother went back to Ningshou Palace, and you went back to Chengqian Palace, leaving me alone in elder brother's place. I'm so scared."
It was only when he said this that Yinyou suddenly realized that he went back to Chengqian Palace yesterday afternoon, thinking that the emperor's uncle would take Baotai back to Prince Yu's mansion, but he didn't expect his emperor's uncle to be lazy, thinking that he would go to the palace for a banquet at the Dragon Boat Festival anyway. I didn't plan to pick up Baotai.
Therefore, Baotai can only come to the eighth elder brother.
Yinyou touched his head somewhat apologetically: "There are so many servants accompanying you, what are you afraid of?"
Baotai persisted: "Then I'm just afraid."
Yinyou coaxed him and said, "Come on, give me a kiss, you won't be afraid if you give me a kiss."
Sure enough, Baotai pursed his lips and wanted to kiss him, Yinyou immediately turned his head away: "I don't want to kiss you if I want to."
At this moment, Baotai was suddenly hit by something from behind, and fell into Yinyou's arms involuntarily.
Yinyou hurriedly helped him stand upright, but before he had time to figure out what was going on, he heard someone shouting from the side: "Oh, Baotai, please give way, can you not stand in the middle of the yard?"
This is Brother Jiu's voice, with a little milky voice, but the tone of his speech is already different from that of an adult, and he is quite impatient.
Yinyou frowned and pulled him over: "Can't you even call brother?"
Brother Nine was probably made to cry by him several times when he was a child, and he was somewhat afraid of him: "Seven... Brother Seven."
Yinyou pointed at Baotai with his chin, motioning for his younger brother to apologize.
Brother Jiu bit his lower lip and refused to speak.
He was like a demon king in Yikun Palace. Concubine Yi was busy taking care of Eleven Elder Brother, who was frail and sick all day long, and the palace people didn't dare to take care of him when she had free time, so he developed such a temperament of going to the house to Jiewa , It is really necessary to go to the house to expose the tiles.
Because Chuxiu Palace is not far from Yikun Palace, the age difference between Ninth Brother and Tenth Brother is only one month, and the two have been closer than other brothers since they were young because of their relationship with Er Niang.
But he is shorter than Brother Jiu, and has a gentler temper. He is like Brother Jiu's little follower, and he will do whatever Brother Jiu says.
At this moment Yinyou was standing there, holding Brother Jiu's wrist and refusing to let it go, but Brother Jiu was a bit stubborn despite his young age.He is the prince, Baotai is just the bastard son of Prince Yu, why should he apologize to him?
So, during the big festival, the originally lively small courtyard suddenly became angry and embarrassed.Yinyou protects Baotai, and insists on getting Brother Jiu to apologize to him, but Brother Jiu refuses to say anything.
The tenth brother looked at his seventh brother. In his impression, the seventh brother always smiled every day, and he didn't know where he got so many happy things.
Although the tenth elder brother didn't have much contact with him, he still liked this elder brother very much in his heart.
He looked at Yinzhen again, no one knew what kind of temperament Ninth Brother was like.Even Empress Yifei had nothing to do with this son, seeing him mischievous, she beat her and scolded her, but if he didn't listen, she let him go and let him go.
But the more this is the case, the more Brother Jiu's character is like a wild horse that has run wild, uncontrollable.As you grow older, you can't pull it back even if you want to.
Elder Brother Shi tugged at his sleeve: "Brother Ninth, we were at fault for fighting in the yard and bumping into Brother Baotai, so please apologize to him."
He also took the initiative to apologize to Baotai, who hid behind his seventh brother, waved at tenth brother, and kept saying that it was okay.
Of course he doesn't matter, in this palace, he can't offend anyone except for acting like a baby with Seventh Brother and fighting with Eighth Brother.Even if Brother Nine knocked him down, he just needs to stand up, and he must not dare to let others apologize to him.
Before entering the palace, his Ama told him: Study hard, no matter what happens with your elder brothers, you must give in, they are the masters, and you are just a slave.
That's right, even the young son of Prince Yu's mansion is just a slave in front of the cover.
Baotai firmly remembers that he never dared to argue with the princes, but the elder brothers treated him well, and they all got along like brothers, and no one treated him like this.
Ninth elder brother still didn't speak, and secretly looked at eighth elder brother.
At this time, the eighth elder brother came up to smooth things over, and while pulling the ninth elder brother, he said to Yinyou: "Seventh brother, ninth brother is still young and doesn't understand anything."
Yinyou nodded: "So I'm teaching him."
The eighth elder brother looked back at the ninth elder brother again, turned around and said to Baotai: "Why don't I apologize to Baotai on behalf of the ninth brother, after all, this happened in my yard, as a brother, I have done something Something was wrong, I didn’t take good care of my younger brother.”
Baotai has lived with him for so long, and the relationship between the two of them is even closer than that of Yinyou. There is no need for him to apologize, but I am a little shocked by his words.
Where did it all go, he couldn't figure it out.
He couldn't figure it out, and neither did Yinyou.
But he has a rule in his heart - whoever does something wrong should stand up and take responsibility.
He pulled Eighth Brother away with one hand: "Go away!" He stared at Ninth Brother with burning eyes, "I'll ask you one last time, do you apologize?"
In fact, Brother Nine was already a little shaken under Yinyou's pressure just now.He looked at the eighth brother, instinctively looking for someone to support him, if the eighth brother didn't speak, then he could only apologize to Baotai obediently.
However, the eighth elder brother stood up to protect him at this time.
Now that someone was protecting him, he was even more confident, raised his head and said to Yinyou: "I didn't do it on purpose, but he stood in the middle of the road and blocked my way."
Yinyou took one last look at him and shouted, "Zhao Cheng!"
Brother Jiu thought that he was going to hit someone with his hands, so he couldn't help but took two steps back, and the servant who followed him was also hesitating whether to come over at this time.
After all, this is a dispute between elder brothers, how can slaves participate in it.
When Master Ruruuo went out and was beaten up, how would they deal with Concubine Yi when they went back?
The eighth elder brother went forward to grab Yinyou's hand, and softly called him: "Seventh elder brother~"
He knew that among all the brothers, the only one who loved him sincerely was his seventh brother.So he was only willing to tell Seventh Brother any little secret. He knew that no matter what, Seventh Brother would treat him sincerely.
It was only in front of Seventh Brother that he felt that even if he was just the son of a concubine, he was still pampered.
But today, Yinyou didn't pay attention to him, nor did he hit Yinzhen.
He just asked Zhao Cheng to hand the basket containing the zongzi to Brother Ba, then turned around holding Baotai's hand: "Let's go."
Yinyou patted his stomach: "No problem!"
The empress dowager is so old, how can she eat a lot of food that is not easy to digest.Fortunately, the imperial concubine's bag was small and exquisite, so it's okay to eat one, but it's not okay to eat too much.
She smiled and asked the little guy: "I have bitten these zongzi, don't you dislike them?"
"Don't dislike it," the little guy couldn't wait to eat a meat dumpling, "You are my Ukumama, how could I dislike you?"
He ate the zongzi so deliciously, the corners of his mouth were still stained with the juice of braised pork.This little guy has too many criminal records.Aunt Su Ma was worried that he would not digest again, so she hurriedly asked someone to make a cup of hawthorn water.
A little eunuch came in at the door and said that the altar had been set up and asked Madam Su to go and have a look.
So, Aunt Su Ma asked Seventh Brother to stay with the Empress Dowager for a while, and she was busy with other things.
After returning to the main hall after busying, I found that the Empress Dowager was dozing off sitting on the kang with Buddhist beads. The little guy opposite had eaten two or three of the rice dumplings and the hawthorn water.
Fortunately, just after taking a bite of the third rice dumpling, Aunt Su Ma hurried over and took the rice dumpling from his hand calmly: "Brother Qi, don't you have to send rice dumplings elsewhere? It's getting late."
These words successfully attracted the little guy's attention, and he was still a little annoyed, why he forgot the business while he was eating.
Biyun at the side came up to wipe his mouth with a handkerchief, but Yinyou took it and touched it carelessly.
Biyun bent down to help him put on his boots, the little guy ran to the Empress Dowager, tilted his head to look, and found that Madam Ukuma seemed to have fallen asleep.
Then he turned around, took La Aunt Su Ma's hand and said softly, "I'm coming for lunch later."
Aunt Su Ma touched his belly: "Can you still eat?"
The little guy nodded seriously: "I can eat it, I can eat it!"
So, he carried the basket and left the gate of the Compassionate Ning Palace.
The next destination is Ningshou Palace.In addition to the empress dowager, Ningshou Palace Li also has the fifth elder brother and the fifth princess.
The fifth elder brother and the fifth princess were playing in the yard, one with the cat in his arms and the other with the rabbit.When Yinyou entered, the fifth princess put down the rabbit and ran towards him: "Brother Seven, Brother Seven!"
The fifth princess is more than four years old, she is a beautiful and smart little girl.She grew up beside the Empress Dowager, and Kangxi also had a preference for this daughter, giving her more supplies than the fourth and sixth princesses.
Yinyou hugged her tightly: "Let Seventh Brother see if you have grown taller."
The empress dowager has always raised her children well, and they are fed with everything that is good. Whether it is the fifth elder brother or the fifth princess, they are much taller than children of the same age.
The fifth princess gestured: "Of course I've grown taller. Look, I'm not much shorter than you. You shouldn't be as tall as me when you were four years old."
Of course not, not only is she not taller than her, it is simply far worse than her.
Yinyou pinched her cheeks, asked Zhao Cheng to bring the basket over, and then called out to Fifth Brother: "Fifth Brother, come quickly, my mother-in-law made rice dumplings, they are delicious."
The fifth princess picked a salty one, and the fifth elder brother picked a sweet one.Walking to the main hall of Ningshou Palace, the queen mother also picked a sweet one.
Before leaving, the fifth princess kept pulling Yinyou's robe and sent him to the gate of the palace.
The little girl has always been very clingy to him, Yinyou is not surprised at all.Still stretched out his hand to pinch her face, and asked, "Are you reluctant to part with your seventh brother?"
The Fifth Brother hugged the taro and snorted beside him: "She wants to ask you for candy."
The fifth princess retorted: "Who wants to eat candy, I think it is fifth brother who wants to eat candy."
Fifth elder brother: "I don't want to eat."
"You just want to eat."
The two of them grew up together in Ningshou Palace, and bickering was commonplace.
The fifth princess immediately hugged Yinyou's arm tightly: "I just can't bear Brother Seven, can't I?"
Brother Wu immediately put the cat on the ground, and when he came over, he grabbed Yinyou's other arm: "Xiao Qi is a boy, so he doesn't play with girls."
"Why not?" The fifth princess pulled Yinyou towards her, "Will you play with me, Brother Seven?"
Yinyou's head just nodded halfway, and was dragged by the fifth brother on the other side: "Xiao Qi, are you still a boy?"
The little guy could only nod again: "Yes, of course!"
Therefore, the fifth elder brother and the fifth princess asked in unison: "Who do you want to play with?"
"..."
Yinyou looked to the left and then to the right, and broke his arm out of their hands: "I, I, I... I'm going to deliver rice dumplings to the prince's brother."
The little guy ran out of Ningshou Palace as if he was running away, and he looked back while running, as if he was afraid that his brother and sister would tie him back.
Fortunately, the fifth elder brother and the fifth princess did not follow, the little guy was relieved and leaned on the railing beside him to breathe.
After thinking about it, he beckoned and called Zhao Cheng over. He took a zongzi from the basket and was about to unwrap it.Zhao Cheng looked at him in surprise: "Little master, do you still want to eat?"
Yinyou nodded: "Fifth Brother and Fifth Sister scared me, I have to eat another shock, and replenish my strength by the way."
"..."
He didn't dare to stop Zhao Cheng if he wanted to eat, so the group could only stand by the roadside, waiting for him to eat the zongzi.
The little guy who finished eating the rice dumplings went straight to Yuqing Palace, and just passed through the front yard when he ran into the person he was most afraid of.
Mammy Xiong came up to greet him enthusiastically: "Hey! Seventh elder brother is here, and my maidservant greets you."
Yinyou nodded calmly: "Mother Wolf doesn't need to be polite."
"..."
The kid who can never forget any book by heart, after so many years, still can't tell the last name of the fierce-looking old nanny next to the prince's brother.
Madam Xiong was already used to it, and didn't care what he called her. She took a step forward and said, "The prince accompanied the emperor's temple to worship the ancestors this morning. He just returned to the palace and is changing clothes in the warm pavilion. This servant will go in and report."
When she took a step forward, Yinyou took a step back, with her hands behind her back, and her ten fingers were twisted into a ball.
Yuqing Palace is not big, but the terrain is very complicated. The surrounding palaces form a long and narrow courtyard, and the light is blocked. Although the sun is shining brightly in May, the courtyard in the middle still looks a bit dark.
Yinyou waved his hand: "No, no, no need... I'll go in and find him myself."
While talking, the little guy Yin has already walked quickly, even using the steps Mr. Fu taught him to practice martial arts. In a flash, he has jumped onto the platform in front of Dunben Hall.
Mammy Xiong blinked again, and she only had time to see the hem of the robe lifted by Fifth Prince, and she had already entered the hall.
Yinyou went all the way through the second room and came to the innermost warm pavilion. The prince just changed his court clothes and put on ordinary clothes.Looking up to see Yinyou, with a smile on his face, he waved to him: "Xiaoqi, come here!"
The little guy rushed over in three or two steps, hugged the prince's waist, and acted like a baby in his arms as he did when he was a child: "Brother prince, I'm here to bring you zongzi, which was made by my mother herself."
The crown prince led him to the round table outside, sat on the stool by himself, and let Xiaotuanzi lean against his arms: "Then you came in time, I am really hungry."
Before dawn, Kangxi was going to the Taimiao. The crown prince and elder brother got up at three o'clock in the morning. The court clothes and the pearls and the crown... This outfit is troublesome enough to wear. You have to go out to the Qing Palace after you wear it. Where do you have time to eat? thing.
Worshiping ancestors is a lengthy and cumbersome ceremony, standing motionless for a whole morning, not to mention eating or drinking water.
The prince said he was hungry, Xiaotuanzi was happy, and asked Zhao Cheng to bring the basket over quickly.While taking out the rice dumplings, he introduced: "Sweet rice dumplings include red dates, lotus seeds, raisins... Salty rice dumplings include bacon, ham, and salted egg yolk... Which one do you like, Brother Prince?"
The prince made a very embarrassed expression: "Well... I don't know which one to choose. Does Xiao Qi like sweet or salty food?"
Xiaotuanzi chuckled: "It's the grown-ups who make the choice, I want both!"
"Hahahahahaha!" The prince reached out to touch his stomach, and patted him twice like patting a watermelon, "Quickly tell the prince, how much did you eat this morning?"
Yinyou counted to him with his fingers: "Two, three, four!"
The prince laughed loudly: "No wonder the little belly has bulged into a frog."
Yinyou took one casually and handed it to the counter: "Brother Prince, eat this."
The prince asked curiously, "Why?"
Xiaotuanzi said, "This is ham."
The prince was puzzled: "How do you know?"
Yinyou showed it to him: "The thread that binds the rice dumplings is different, which means the taste is different. The ham is red, and the red dates are also red..."
The prince looked at him leisurely: "Then how do you distinguish between ham and red dates?"
Yinyou pointed to another basket: "Sweet rice dumplings are over there hahaha."
The prince put his arms around him, and the two brothers laughed together, not knowing what they were happy about.In the end, the prince decided to listen to him, and asked the eunuch who was waiting on the side to remove the ham and put it in a small dish.
The prince picked it up and took a bite. Sure enough, the rice dumplings made by the imperial concubine were different from those made by others.Not only is the ham delicious, but the glutinous rice is soaked in the fat of the meat. It is soft, glutinous and salty in the mouth, and it is very delicious.
Xiaotuanzi looked at him expectantly: "How about it, is the ham delicious?"
The prince looked at him with a smile: "Hasn't Xiao Qi eaten?"
Xiaotuanzi shook his head: "I haven't tasted ham yet."
As soon as he finished speaking, the crown prince picked up a piece of rice dumpling with ham and handed it to his mouth: "Then have a taste."
The little guy opened his mouth and ate it in one bite, and closed his eyes with a satisfied expression: "Ah, it's delicious!"
"Hahahahahahaha!" His bulging cheeks and exaggerated expression were so funny that the prince couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.
At this time, someone from outside the hall came in and stood at the door of the outer room, saluting respectfully: "I see the prince."
The prince turned his head back and immediately suppressed his smile.The look at Suo'etu is a bit complicated. The third uncle has been in and out of the East Palace quite frequently recently. Although the prince respectfully called him the third uncle in order to give him face, there is a difference between the two after all, and Suo'etu is Kangxi again. It's not good for the ministers who are discussing affairs around me to pass the secret to the emperor's father.
Yinyou also glanced at Suo'etu, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
He didn't like Suo'etu, probably because two years ago, he heard Suo'etu reprimanding Gao Shiqi in the square of Qianqing Palace.
That is no longer called reprimand, that is called insult.In public, it's okay to call Gao Shiqi a servant of his family, and even insult his mother, wife and daughter.For a first-rank official in the court, what he did was really disrespectful.
It's a big festival, of course Suo'etu didn't come into the palace to wish the prince a happy Dragon Boat Festival, he did have important matters to discuss with the prince.
"Master Suo, excuse me." The prince only glanced at him, then turned his gaze back to Xiaotuanzi, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.He took the veil from He Yuzhu's hand, and carefully wiped a grain of glutinous rice from the corner of his mouth for him.
Suo'etu stood aside quietly, watching the scene of brothers and friends, but there was no disturbance in his heart.
Born in the emperor's family, there is no brotherhood.Not to mention half-brothers, even twin brothers from the same mother have to fight to the death in front of the throne.
Besides, Brother Seven has a special status, so the big Tong's family is there, Tong Guogang is a first-class public, Tong Guowei is the Minister of the Guard and Minister of State, the emperor calls these two uncles, and the imperial concubine is the actual power holder in the harem.
Maybe at some point, Seventh Brother will be another aunt's son, and then things will be troublesome.
The crown prince could tell that Suo'etu had something to discuss with him, so he patted Yinyou on the shoulder and coaxed him: "Xiaoqi, do you still have to go elsewhere to deliver zongzi?"
Not only the prince saw Suo'etu's intention, but Yinyou also saw it.
The little guy nodded: "Yes."
He took a few more zongzi from the basket and put them on the table, and said with a smile: "I will only give one to others, brother prince, you can eat more."
"Thank you." The prince touched his little head, "Go."
Yinyou walked out and passed by Suo'etu, who cupped his hands and called out "Seventh Brother".Yinyou asked him: "Master Suo, do you want to eat rice dumplings?"
"Thank you Seventh Brother, I won't eat it."
Yinyou grinned at him: "It's just right, I don't have many here." After finishing speaking, he walked out of Dunben Hall with a bouncing bouncing.
Suo'etu: "..."
The prince looked at his back, turned and disappeared at the door, still with a doting smile on his face.
Walking out of Yuqing Palace, the next stop is that the little guy is going to the west to deliver rice dumplings to his brothers. During this time, he will pass by the Qianqing Palace. He struggles for a while whether to drop by and give one to Ama, and finally decides to give one.
So he sat under the shade of the tree again, and beckoned to Zhao Cheng: "Bring me another one."
"..."
Zhao Cheng wondered: "Little master, you have eaten a lot this morning, this glutinous rice is really hard to digest, or else, you should stop eating it."
"No, no, you must eat. I can't walk without eating."
Zhao Cheng couldn't beat him, so he had to choose the smallest one for him.
After eating, the little guy went straight to the Qianqing Palace.There is nothing to do when the ancestors come back to Kangxi, and the family banquet will not start until you in the afternoon.When Yinyou went, he had just changed his clothes and was sitting on the kang in Zhaoren Hall reading a book.
The little guy used to deliver food to everyone, and never had Ama's share, but today he was waiting.
Kangxi was not polite to him, the imperial concubine's craftsmanship had always been to his taste, and the rice dumplings were not big, so the emperor ate several in one breath.Next to him, Liang Jiugong could not peel the leaves as fast as he could eat them.
"Okay, okay, don't eat it!" The little guy at the side saw that he was taking one bite at a time, and he didn't intend to stop, and was a little anxious.He picked up the teacup on the kang table and handed it to Ama, "The glutinous rice is easy to digest, and it's time to accumulate food in a while."
He wasn't worried about Ama's accumulation of food, he was worried that Ama would eat up all the zongzi, leaving no other brothers.
Kangxi put down the chopsticks and plates, picked him up and put them in front of him, and showed him a stack of papers from the side.
The little guy took it and turned it over one by one: "January, daffodils: the spring breeze makes the jade come to clear the painting, and the night moon lingers on the embankment. February: Magnolia flowers, Jinying Cuicalyx with spring cold, and there are several kinds of flowers in the yellow flowers. .Peach Blossoms in March: Fenghuaxinsheyan, the old spring is strong...November, rose flowers: do not follow thousands of flowers, and bloom alone for a year. December, plum blossoms: Suyan Xuening trees, full of fragrance and wind branch."
Kangxi asked him: "I just asked you to tell me, shall we make a set of Twelve Flower God Cups?"
The little guy nodded, his eyes still on the stack of papers.Each flower painting is not only the flower itself, but it is actually quite interesting.For example, Peach Blossom is a peach tree with a pond underneath, and there are koi carps swinging in it; butterflies dance lightly in the peony bushes; mandarin ducks play in the lotus pond; jade rabbits squat under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree...
Yinyou liked it so much that he not only memorized all the poems, but also engraved the shape of each flower in his mind: "The Twelve Flower Cups must be very beautiful."
Kangxi put his arms around him: "Then Ama will test you, who is the God of Peach Blossom?"
"Mrs. Xi, she is the wife of Marquis Xi of Chu State. After Marquis Xi died, King Wen of Chu coveted her beauty, and Mrs. Xi died for her husband."
Kangxi nodded, it seemed that the little guy did his homework after going down, and he asked again: "Then who is the flower god of the lotus?"
The little guy folded his hands and pressed his chest, making a "Xizi holding a heart" shape: "It's Xi Shi."
"Where's Furong?"
"Mrs. Huarui."
"Moon season?"
"Wang Zhaojun."
"The last one, Plum Blossom?"
"It's Princess Shouyang!"
The question and answer of the father and son was full of wit and humor, and the palace echoed with the laughter of children.The emperor felt that this little guy was his pistachio. Although he was so angry that he wanted to beat him occasionally, most of the time he was happy.
"Go, write a few big characters, and let Ama see if your calligraphy has improved."
As soon as calligraphy was mentioned, the smile on the little guy's face disappeared immediately.He didn't want to tell Ama that since he received Mr. Fu's guidance, his handwriting became more and more ugly. Instead of learning the essence of his master, he threw away what he had learned before.
He got down from the kang and glanced at the western clock. It was almost eleven o'clock, and he had to rush back to the Compassionate Palace for lunch after delivering the rice dumplings.He bid farewell to Ama and left in a hurry.
When he came to Ganxi No. [-], he first lay down in front of the gate of the elder brother's yard and looked around, and the elder brother practiced boxing inside again.
The little guy had an idea and asked Zhao Cheng to break a branch from the big tree next to him.Holding it in his hand, he pushed the door and entered, and with a wave of the branch in his hand, he stabbed straight towards the elder brother's knee.
The elder brother didn't expect to be attacked by someone when he was practicing in his own yard. He dodged his attack with a wrong step sideways. At the same time, his fist had already come to Yinyou with a strong wind.
The little guy reacted quickly and leaned back, narrowly avoiding the big brother's punch.
Although he was the first to sneak attack, the little guy fell behind in terms of height, figure, and strength.
But Yinyou didn't give up, after dodging the elder brother's fist, the little guy relied on his small size and nimble body, stepped forward quickly, and the branch in his hand stabbed out again.
It was only when the elder brother swung that punch that he saw clearly that it was him, and he hesitated for a moment before giving the little brat a chance.I thought he would act coquettishly and beg for mercy, but in the blink of an eye, the branch in the boy's hand had already pierced his waist.
Just at the very moment, the elder brother glanced down, and found that the little guy was taking too many steps, his steps were a little flimsy, and he didn't stand firmly at all.
So, the bad-hearted elder brother stretched out his legs to trip him.Unexpectedly, the little boy's center of gravity was not on this leg at all, just as he was stretching his leg, Yinyou's leg also lifted up, and for some reason, he came close in three or two steps.At the same time, the branch in his hand lightly picked up a jade pendant from his waist.
With sharp eyes and quick hands, Yinyou bent down to grab the jade pendant, and the jade pendant fell firmly into his hands the moment it landed.
"!!!"
The eldest brother didn't even realize what happened just now, but just stood there with a shocked expression.He lowered his head to glance at his belt, and then went to look at Yinyou. The little brat threw the jade pendant into the air and caught it again, very proud of himself.
The little guy circled around him: "I won, I won! I want everyone in the Forbidden City to know that I won the martial arts competition... Woooo~~oooo~~~"
Before he could say the word "big brother", someone covered his mouth from behind and lazily picked him up.
The elder brother gritted his teeth and whispered in his ear: "It's just that the elder brother underestimated the enemy."
Yinyou went to break his hand, but it didn't work.Afraid of suffocating him, the elder brother took the initiative to let go of his mouth and nose, but still wrapped his arms around his waist with his other hand, holding him in front of his chest with one hand.
The little guy educated his elder brother solemnly: "A husband is a sword, show it to be false, open it to benefit, then use it to attack, and first use it to achieve."
The elder brother was taken aback: "What is this?"
Yinyou rolled his eyes: "This is Zhuangzi's "Speaking of the Sword", have you never learned it?"
No matter how he fights, it is impossible for him to be the opponent of big brother. If it is not for big brother's mercy just now, he has already been punched out of the courtyard.
But the little guy also caught the elder brother's carelessness when he saw it was him, and used a loophole in his steps to attract the other party to the bait, and finally picked the jade pendant from his waist with ease.
"Cut!" Big Brother carried him into the house, "It's too late for me to learn the art of war, so I don't have time to learn these things."
It was uncomfortable for Yinyou to be hugged by him like this, and after struggling for a few times, the elder brother put him down.
The little guy jumped up and down restlessly as soon as his feet landed, and ran to the elder brother. He planned to hang the jade pendant on him again. Hide the jade pendant: "I will do it myself!"
"Oh!"
Yinyou asked him, "Do you want sweet rice dumplings or salty rice dumplings?"
The elder brother sat down on the chair, with that foolish look again: "I don't like eating zongzi."
"No, you have to choose one."
The elder brother has nothing to do with him: "Then have a salty one."
Yinyou said: "Brother Prince also likes salty food."
Hearing that the crown prince likes salty ones, the elder brother immediately changed his mouth: "Sweet ones, I want sweet ones!"
Yinyou took one from the basket and handed it to him: "You should eat this."
Eldest brother didn't have a fake hand, so he peeled off the rice dumpling leaf and took a bite. After chewing twice, he realized something was wrong: "What is this?"
Yinyou cupped his face and smiled at him: "This is white rice dumpling hahahaha."
"..."
White rice dumplings are just white rice dumplings. The elder brother asked the eunuch to bring him a plate of soy sauce, dipped it in and ate it.
Yinyou thought, sure enough his elder brother likes salty rice dumplings, so he took another one with salted meat from the basket and handed it over.
Then he came to the yard of the third elder brother next door. The third elder brother liked sweet ones, so Yinyou gave him a lotus seed, which was sweet and bitter, but the third elder brother liked it very much. He kindly invited Xiaoqi to stay and accompany him Do a set of math problems.
The little guy waved his hand, with a thankful expression on his face: "No, no, I have to continue delivering zongzi."
So, the little guy came to the fourth elder brother's yard again.The fourth elder brother is reading a book in the study, and he is still reading the "Complete Book of Agricultural Affairs". He seems to be particularly interested in this now, especially about the northern wasteland reclamation and water conservancy projects.
Seeing his younger brother coming, he temporarily put down his book, and went to hold the little guy's hand and talk to him: "Why are you here?"
"I'll bring you zongzi."
Others only have one, so you have to pick a flavor.The fourth elder brother doesn't need to choose, because the imperial concubine has specially instructed that there is a basket with rice dumplings of various flavors, which is specially prepared for the eldest son.
In fact, the fourth elder brother matured very early. When he was very young, he was like a little adult. Now he doesn't have the slightest childlike style, and he doesn't have much interest in these sticky foods.
But the food was sent by the imperial concubine, it was Er Niang's wish, whether he likes it or not, he will eat it.
The two brothers didn't chat for a few words, Yinyou got up and went out: "I have to deliver zongzi to the eighth brother."
"Then why don't you come back for lunch later?"
Yinyou thought for a while: "But I promised to go back to the Compassion Ning Palace to have lunch with Mama Ukuma."
The fourth elder brother was a little disappointed, but he still smiled and said, "That's fine."
Yinyou suddenly ran back and put his arms around his brother's neck: "I'm going to sleep with my brother tonight!"
The fourth elder brother patted his head: "Okay, okay, go quickly."
Although he has always disliked the eighth elder brother's personality that loves to express everything, and he doesn't want Yinyou to have too much contact with Duo, but his younger brother has grown up and has his own ideas, so he can't interfere.
As soon as Yinyou walked into the eighth elder brother's yard, he realized that the good guy was so lively, not only the eighth elder brother was there, but Baotai was also there, and there were even nine elder brothers and ten elder brothers.
These two cubs are almost four years old, and they are called Yipi, especially Brother Nine, who jumps up and down like a monkey, and Brother Ten follows behind him stupidly.
When Baotai saw Yinyou, he rushed forward immediately, and complained aggrievedly: "Yesterday my fifth brother went back to Ningshou Palace, and you went back to Chengqian Palace, leaving me alone in elder brother's place. I'm so scared."
It was only when he said this that Yinyou suddenly realized that he went back to Chengqian Palace yesterday afternoon, thinking that the emperor's uncle would take Baotai back to Prince Yu's mansion, but he didn't expect his emperor's uncle to be lazy, thinking that he would go to the palace for a banquet at the Dragon Boat Festival anyway. I didn't plan to pick up Baotai.
Therefore, Baotai can only come to the eighth elder brother.
Yinyou touched his head somewhat apologetically: "There are so many servants accompanying you, what are you afraid of?"
Baotai persisted: "Then I'm just afraid."
Yinyou coaxed him and said, "Come on, give me a kiss, you won't be afraid if you give me a kiss."
Sure enough, Baotai pursed his lips and wanted to kiss him, Yinyou immediately turned his head away: "I don't want to kiss you if I want to."
At this moment, Baotai was suddenly hit by something from behind, and fell into Yinyou's arms involuntarily.
Yinyou hurriedly helped him stand upright, but before he had time to figure out what was going on, he heard someone shouting from the side: "Oh, Baotai, please give way, can you not stand in the middle of the yard?"
This is Brother Jiu's voice, with a little milky voice, but the tone of his speech is already different from that of an adult, and he is quite impatient.
Yinyou frowned and pulled him over: "Can't you even call brother?"
Brother Nine was probably made to cry by him several times when he was a child, and he was somewhat afraid of him: "Seven... Brother Seven."
Yinyou pointed at Baotai with his chin, motioning for his younger brother to apologize.
Brother Jiu bit his lower lip and refused to speak.
He was like a demon king in Yikun Palace. Concubine Yi was busy taking care of Eleven Elder Brother, who was frail and sick all day long, and the palace people didn't dare to take care of him when she had free time, so he developed such a temperament of going to the house to Jiewa , It is really necessary to go to the house to expose the tiles.
Because Chuxiu Palace is not far from Yikun Palace, the age difference between Ninth Brother and Tenth Brother is only one month, and the two have been closer than other brothers since they were young because of their relationship with Er Niang.
But he is shorter than Brother Jiu, and has a gentler temper. He is like Brother Jiu's little follower, and he will do whatever Brother Jiu says.
At this moment Yinyou was standing there, holding Brother Jiu's wrist and refusing to let it go, but Brother Jiu was a bit stubborn despite his young age.He is the prince, Baotai is just the bastard son of Prince Yu, why should he apologize to him?
So, during the big festival, the originally lively small courtyard suddenly became angry and embarrassed.Yinyou protects Baotai, and insists on getting Brother Jiu to apologize to him, but Brother Jiu refuses to say anything.
The tenth brother looked at his seventh brother. In his impression, the seventh brother always smiled every day, and he didn't know where he got so many happy things.
Although the tenth elder brother didn't have much contact with him, he still liked this elder brother very much in his heart.
He looked at Yinzhen again, no one knew what kind of temperament Ninth Brother was like.Even Empress Yifei had nothing to do with this son, seeing him mischievous, she beat her and scolded her, but if he didn't listen, she let him go and let him go.
But the more this is the case, the more Brother Jiu's character is like a wild horse that has run wild, uncontrollable.As you grow older, you can't pull it back even if you want to.
Elder Brother Shi tugged at his sleeve: "Brother Ninth, we were at fault for fighting in the yard and bumping into Brother Baotai, so please apologize to him."
He also took the initiative to apologize to Baotai, who hid behind his seventh brother, waved at tenth brother, and kept saying that it was okay.
Of course he doesn't matter, in this palace, he can't offend anyone except for acting like a baby with Seventh Brother and fighting with Eighth Brother.Even if Brother Nine knocked him down, he just needs to stand up, and he must not dare to let others apologize to him.
Before entering the palace, his Ama told him: Study hard, no matter what happens with your elder brothers, you must give in, they are the masters, and you are just a slave.
That's right, even the young son of Prince Yu's mansion is just a slave in front of the cover.
Baotai firmly remembers that he never dared to argue with the princes, but the elder brothers treated him well, and they all got along like brothers, and no one treated him like this.
Ninth elder brother still didn't speak, and secretly looked at eighth elder brother.
At this time, the eighth elder brother came up to smooth things over, and while pulling the ninth elder brother, he said to Yinyou: "Seventh brother, ninth brother is still young and doesn't understand anything."
Yinyou nodded: "So I'm teaching him."
The eighth elder brother looked back at the ninth elder brother again, turned around and said to Baotai: "Why don't I apologize to Baotai on behalf of the ninth brother, after all, this happened in my yard, as a brother, I have done something Something was wrong, I didn’t take good care of my younger brother.”
Baotai has lived with him for so long, and the relationship between the two of them is even closer than that of Yinyou. There is no need for him to apologize, but I am a little shocked by his words.
Where did it all go, he couldn't figure it out.
He couldn't figure it out, and neither did Yinyou.
But he has a rule in his heart - whoever does something wrong should stand up and take responsibility.
He pulled Eighth Brother away with one hand: "Go away!" He stared at Ninth Brother with burning eyes, "I'll ask you one last time, do you apologize?"
In fact, Brother Nine was already a little shaken under Yinyou's pressure just now.He looked at the eighth brother, instinctively looking for someone to support him, if the eighth brother didn't speak, then he could only apologize to Baotai obediently.
However, the eighth elder brother stood up to protect him at this time.
Now that someone was protecting him, he was even more confident, raised his head and said to Yinyou: "I didn't do it on purpose, but he stood in the middle of the road and blocked my way."
Yinyou took one last look at him and shouted, "Zhao Cheng!"
Brother Jiu thought that he was going to hit someone with his hands, so he couldn't help but took two steps back, and the servant who followed him was also hesitating whether to come over at this time.
After all, this is a dispute between elder brothers, how can slaves participate in it.
When Master Ruruuo went out and was beaten up, how would they deal with Concubine Yi when they went back?
The eighth elder brother went forward to grab Yinyou's hand, and softly called him: "Seventh elder brother~"
He knew that among all the brothers, the only one who loved him sincerely was his seventh brother.So he was only willing to tell Seventh Brother any little secret. He knew that no matter what, Seventh Brother would treat him sincerely.
It was only in front of Seventh Brother that he felt that even if he was just the son of a concubine, he was still pampered.
But today, Yinyou didn't pay attention to him, nor did he hit Yinzhen.
He just asked Zhao Cheng to hand the basket containing the zongzi to Brother Ba, then turned around holding Baotai's hand: "Let's go."
