[Qing Chuan] The daily life of the seven princes
Chapter 104
Yinyou has been paying attention to Brother Wu's reaction, including the last time he handed Brother Jiu the oil-paper umbrella for sunshade.
He is a very kind person, especially like small animals.When Yinyou moved back to Chengqian Palace, he left the rabbit in Compassion Palace.The fifth elder brother was distressed that the rabbit was unaccompanied, so he made a special trip to bring it back to Ningshou Palace to raise it.
Even if he treats animals like this, how can he not feel pity for his fellow brothers.
Everyone played together for a while, and in the evening, they went back to have dinner.
When walking out of the yard, Yinyou saw that the fifth elder brother was at the end, so he stood there and waited, but the fifth elder brother lowered his head and walked past him directly.
"Fifth brother, fifth brother!"
"..."
The fifth elder brother seemed not to hear it, and walked straight forward.
Yinyou ran forward in two or three steps, put on Fifth Brother's shoulder from behind, leaned into his ear and shouted: "Fifth Brother!"
"Ahhhhhhh!" Brother Wu was immersed in his own thoughts, when he suddenly jumped up, "Xiao Qi, what are you doing? You scared me!"
Yinyou pouted: "You ignore me when I tell you."
"Where is it?" Fifth elder brother continued to walk forward, "I just didn't hear it."
Yinyou leaned over and put his arms around his shoulders and asked him, "Fifth brother, I think you don't seem very happy."
Fifth elder brother shook his head: "No, why are you unhappy?"
The little guy said: "You have it all written on your face, and you still say you don't have it."
Fifth elder brother bowed his head and did not speak.
Yinyou was not in a hurry, so he quietly followed Fifth Brother.
Two people walked by the lake, and the cranes flapped their wings and passed by the lake.Yinyou closed his eyes, as if he could feel the splash they made.
Actually no, because the cranes are far away from them, there is no water splash.
After a short walk, you will arrive at the lotus pond, where a large area of water is covered by layers of lotus leaves.June is the season when lotus blossoms are in full bloom, and the pink and tender petals are reflected in the setting sun, which looks extraordinarily gorgeous.
Yinyou bent down, plucked a dewdrop from a lotus leaf, and said: "After all, the scenery of West Lake in June is different from that in four seasons."
The fifth elder brother spoke behind him: "The lotus leaves are infinitely green in the sky, and the lotus flowers are red in the sun."
Yinyou turned around and held the small water droplet in his palm to the Fifth Brother: "Fifth Brother, try it, it's sweet."
Fifth elder brother looked at him suspiciously, and asked, "Really?"
"Really!" Yinyou said sincerely, "It must be sweet, otherwise why would Aunt Yun come to catch the dewdrops in a jar every morning, saying that she would save it for Mama Ukuma to make tea."
As soon as he said this, Fifth Prince lowered his head in conviction, rolled his tongue in the palm of his hand, and rolled the dewdrop into his mouth.
"Hey hey hey!" Yinyou felt his palms itching, he hid back and asked him expectantly, "Is it sweet?"
The fifth elder brother frowned: "The water in the well in the back mountain is sweeter."
Yinyou Yinyou sat on the big rock beside him, and saw a fish under the lotus leaf vomited a bubble, and quickly disappeared into the water.
He asked, "Fifth brother, are you happier?"
Brother Fifth sat down beside him: "Xiao Qi, can you tell me in detail what you met by the lake that day..."
At this point, he paused, as if looking for an appropriate word in his mind, and finally said: "Have you encountered the matter of my mother-in-law and my two younger brothers?"
Yinyou turned his head to look at him, and then told the details of that day.It also includes the conversation between him and Brother Jiu at the Yuanfei Yuyue Pavilion.
The fifth prince became even more silent after listening.
After a while, the sun had slowly set over the mountain before he opened his mouth: "She never took me for a walk by the lake."
"???"
At first Yinyou didn't realize who the "she" the other party was talking about, but it took him a while to realize that it was Concubine Yi.
The fifth elder brother was sent to Ningshou Palace by Kangxi since he was a child, and was raised by the empress dowager.
Firstly, Concubine Yi was not of high status at that time, so she was not qualified to raise her own children.
Secondly, the empress dowager is Mongolian, and Kangxi asked her to raise the fifth prince not only to pass the time, but also to win over the Borzigit family.
The fifth elder brother grew up under the empress dowager's knee since he was a child. Before Concubine Yi gave birth to the ninth elder brother, he would go to Ningshou Palace to see the fifth elder brother from time to time.
Later, the ninth elder brother and the eleventh elder brother were born in succession, especially the eleventh elder brother was in poor health, so she really couldn't spare any attention to pay attention to the eldest son.
At the age of studying, the fifth elder brother was so spoiled by the empress dowager that he was reluctant to say a word of serious words, let alone stern supervision.Naturally, he is not as diligent and motivated in studying as other elder brothers.His grades are at the bottom among his brothers, and he still can't speak Chinese fluently, let alone write it.
Concubine Yi knew that this son could not be counted on, and Xiao Wu had no relationship with her, let alone closeness.As a result, the relationship between mother and son naturally became more and more distant.
Yinyou put an arm around his shoulder: "What does that matter, am I walking by the lake with you?"
The fifth elder brother squinted and looked towards the mountains in the distance: "I don't even know what wronged the ninth brother. At least he grew up with Er Niang since he was a child, but what about me? Since I was a child, she has never coaxed me to sleep She slept once, didn't feed me once, and she never stayed by my side when I was sick."
Yinyou comforted him: "Don't you still have Huang Mama? She loves you the most."
The fifth elder brother lowered his head: "Huang Mama is Huang Mama, and Erniang is Erniang."
Yinyou thinks what he said is right, no one in this world can replace Er Niang's position in a child's heart.No matter how nice Huang Mama was to Fifth Brother, it couldn't make up for the importance of Er Niang's role.
But in half a year, the fifth elder brother will be nine years old.The loss in the past will become an eternal regret, no matter how Yifei treats him in the future, such a regret cannot be made up for.
"Actually..." Yinyou thought for a long time and didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only say, "Actually, Empress Yifei also has you in her heart, but she has three sons, and her love must be divided into three parts."
When the fifth elder brother was discussing this issue, his mind turned quickly: "There are still three shares of different sizes, and I gave the smallest share to me."
The little guy suddenly changed the subject: "Did you secretly learn mathematics from the third brother?"
"No way, didn't the third brother go out with Ama?"
Yinyou asked him: "Then why are you so good at counting?"
"..."
"Okay! Think about it, at least you still have Huangma's greatest love, isn't there a lot in total?"
That being said, it seems pretty good.
The fifth elder brother leaned on Yinyou's shoulder with his head broken.The younger brother's thin and thin shoulders seem to be able to give him enough comfort.
"Fifth brother, look!" Yinyou suddenly pointed to the underside of the lotus leaf and shouted loudly.
"What?" Brother Wu looked intently, only to see the lotus leaf trembling, but couldn't see anything clearly.
"A little fish was spitting bubbles just now."
"..."
Although Yinyou learned swordsmanship from Mr. Fu, he didn't lose the mentality that the little sword spirit gave him.But instead of waking up every morning and starting to practice, I went to bed after practicing at night.
One morning, the weather was particularly muggy.Nalan taught Yinyou an article in the study, which was "Book of Zhou Wuyi" in "Shangshu".
It was too hot in the study room. Although Yinyou was wearing light cotton silk regular clothes, every button was buttoned neatly, and he couldn't fan himself. The little guy was so hot that he was a little restless.
Nalan said: "This article was written by Duke Zhou."
Yinyou asked, "Who is Duke Zhou?"
"Duke Zhou, the founding father of the Western Zhou Dynasty. Ji's name is Dan."
"Huh?" The absent-minded little guy was suddenly attracted by the name, "There are eggs?"
"..."
Nalan had no choice but to continue to talk: "A gentleman's place, there is no escape. The prophet knows the difficulty of farming, and if it is ease, he will know the support of the villain."
Yinyou asked him: "Does this 'Wuyi' refer to the 'Wuyi' in Wuyi Zhai?"
Nalan gave him a thumbs up and praised him for his cleverness: "Yes, the word "Wuyi" in Wuyizhai was taken from this article. A gentleman should not be greedy for pleasure if he is in his position. Only through hardships can we understand the difficulties of the common people."
"It was the announcement of Zhou that warned King Cheng not to be greedy for ease, but to learn from the quality of Zhou Wenwang's diligence in governing by learning from the Shang Dynasty." [Baidu Encyclopedia]
Yinyou nodded: "No wonder the place where you study is called 'Wuyizhai', so this is what Ama wants to say to the prince's brother."
Nalan thought for a while: "Perhaps it is also a warning to all the princes to be prepared for danger in times of peace."
Yinyou nodded, and when he mentioned Ama and the prince's brother, his thoughts flew out of the Great Wall and onto the endless prairie.
He also really wants to ride a horse on the grassland... If you can't ride the sun, you have to get a taller and stronger horse.Watching his brothers hunt, watching Mongolian warriors wrestling at night, eating rabbit legs and his favorite deer liver.Sleeping in the yurt when he was sleepy, asking the elder brother to change and wash him, and asking the prince brother to coax him to sleep...
Thinking of this, the little guy became unhappy. Ama took her four sons out this time, but she just didn't want to take him with her.
The little guy secretly decided in his heart that when Ama came back from outside the Great Wall, he must not talk to him for three days... no, five days!
"Seventh brother, seventh brother?"
With the sound of "click", Yinyou finally pulled his thoughts from outside the Great Wall back to reality.
His eyes changed from being confused to focusing, and he saw Rong Ruo looking at him with a surprised expression.The little guy said dumbly: "What... what's wrong?"
Nalan rushed over quickly, held his little hand, took out a piece of the pen held by his fingertips, and looked down at his fingers carefully: "Is there any scratch?"
"Ah?" Yinyou lowered his head and saw that a writing brush he just held in his hand was broken into two pieces.
The little guy stared wide-eyed and asked, "This... I made this?"
He even forcibly squeezed a pen holder made of ceramics into two pieces!
Although the pen holder is made of ceramics, it is also made by the Royal Kiln Factory for the convenience of the little princes. It is particularly thin and light, so it is not heavy and is easy to hold.
Shun Anyan on the side nodded: "Yes, it was you who pinched the brush into two pieces."
Yinyou turned his head to look at his haha bead. Apart from being surprised, there was also admiration for him on the other side's face, as if the seventh elder brother had mastered some kind of martial arts.It's nothing to crush a brush, and it's not a problem to crush a person's neck.
Nalan hurriedly asked the eunuch waiting at the door to come in and clean up the broken porcelain pieces on the table.He looked carefully at Yinyou's hand again, and felt relieved after making sure that he was not injured.
"It doesn't matter, maybe this pen was cracked because of bumps before, and you just crushed it with a coincidence."
"..."
But in Yinyou's memory, he has never touched this pen.
Yinyou has been thinking about this matter all day.Because his hands are small and the pen is light and handy, he uses it smoothly and has been using it all the time.
His three Haha Beads, Nalan and Mr. Fu usually choose to use other than to use his pen.
He also thought that maybe some eunuch bumped it accidentally when tidying up. Anyway, the pen was already broken, so it was useless to think about it.
Lying on the bed at night, when Yinyou was about to practice the mental method, the little sword spirit ran out.
In fact, he can summon the little sword spirit at any time without using the Seven Star Sword.It's just that Yinyou despises the little thing's chattering and annoying, and generally doesn't like to let him out, only let him out when lying on the bed at night to help him practice mental dharma.
Hearing what he said about the pen, Little Sword Spirit snorted softly: "It's not the pen's problem, it's you, your power is awakening, but you can't fully control it yet."
"Huh?" Yinyou asked, "Is my power just to crush a writing brush?"
"of course not!"
"Then what else can I do? Help my mother open walnuts, one in each hand!"
"..."
Yinyou found that his power was indeed out of his control. Anyway, after crushing that writing brush, he never crushed anything else.
The sword moves that Mr. Fu taught him are actually very simple, there are only twelve moves in total, and if you learn one move a day, you can finish it in twelve days.
But Mr. Fu didn't teach him new ones, he asked him to practice this set over and over again every day.
Yinyou was a little impatient: "Master, shouldn't it be time for us to learn something new?"
Mr. Fu glared at him: "Learn something new, you haven't practiced well yet."
"But I have learned it all."
"You can't learn until you beat Nalan."
"..."
Yinyou thought: "It will take several years to beat Rong Ruo."
But Mr. Fu said: "Although there are only twelve simple moves in the sword, the changes are endless. Only when the sword moves are practiced to the level of proficiency and can be retracted and released freely can you be fierce and invincible."
All right, since Master said so, let's practice.
Mr. Fu didn't just teach him swordsmanship, he also taught him everything when he was interested.
Nalan once said: "This Mr. Fu's knowledge is unfathomable. Ordinary people can become officials if they learn one-tenth of him, and they can worship generals and become marquises if they learn half or six percent of him."
Yinyou asked: "What about [-]% to [-]%?"
Nalan just smiled and didn't answer.
It wasn't until Yinyou really started to study with Mr. Fu that he realized what Nalan said was true.The things that Mr. Fu told him seemed to open a new door for him, which he had never heard of or read in any book.
At the beginning of July, Kangxi returned to Luan from outside the Great Wall.On the way, they also sent someone back to the Empress Dowager with a whole bear skin, bear bile that can be used as medicine, and preserved deer preserved.
After Kangxi returned to the capital, according to the usual practice, he would go to Jingling to pay homage to the two empresses.Then spend one night in Nanyuan, and then return to the palace.
The night before Kangxi came back, the concubines who lived in Changchun Garden got the news.On the second day, everyone got up early in the morning, dressed up, cleaned themselves up beautifully, and went to the gate of the palace to greet them.
The emperor has been away for more than a month, and when he comes back, the first thing he sees is that the eyes of the empress shine, maybe he will turn over whose brand at night.
Not only do you have to dress up beautifully, but your children should also dress up beautifully.There are so many princes and princesses standing in a row, how can the emperor pay attention to everyone, he naturally chooses the one that catches his attention the most.
Yinyou followed the brothers to the gate of the palace, and everyone stood in a row in order of seniority.On Yinyou's right is the sixth elder brother, and on the left is the eighth elder brother. Looking over there, the two-year-old Xiao Shiyi is also standing there obediently, tilting his head to welcome Khan Ama.
After standing for about an hour, the sun had already risen above the head, and then the eunuch came to report that the emperor's Luanjia had passed the mountain gate and was about to arrive at the Dagong gate.
Kangxi sat on the Luanjia, surrounded by his Luan Yiwei, followed by the prince, eldest elder brother, third elder brother, and fourth elder brother. The four princes were all wearing court clothes and riding on horses.
Yinyou stretched his neck and looked over, the eldest brother had grown into an adult's stature, the prince's brother was already a handsome young man, and the third and elder brothers also had their own charms.
The little guy turned his head and glanced at all the empresses, as well as brothers and sisters.Suddenly he remembered the conversation he had with Fifth Brother by the lake a few days ago.
At that time, he said that Concubine Yi had three children, so love should be divided into three parts.
Thinking about it now, in the final analysis, they have to blame their Ama for this matter, why did they marry so many wives and have so many children.
Thinking of this, the little guy temporarily revised his decision from ignoring Ama for five days to seven days.
The imperial concubine led the crowd to salute the emperor. Among all the concubines, she stood at the front and wore the most plain clothes.
She doesn't even want to come, but if others don't come, the emperor might not notice, and if the imperial concubine doesn't come, is that plausible?
Kangxi picked up the imperial concubine and bowed his head and said something to her, but Yinyou was too far away, so he couldn't hear clearly.
The point is that his attention is not on Ama at all, but on the prince behind him.
The prince was wearing an apricot-yellow court dress, a court crown on his head, and court beads hanging on his chest. He was the most distinguished person besides the emperor.
Every gesture he made showed the majesty of the crown prince, his temperament was warm and restrained, but there was no trace of joy on his face.
Others don't know, or no one pays attention to why the prince doesn't seem very happy.
But Yinyou knew that every time he came back from Jingling, the prince would be depressed for several days.This is a son, nostalgia for a mother he never met.
Yinyou really wanted to rush over to hug him and comfort him.
However, everyone stood here in order to welcome Ama back to the palace. He could only stand with his brothers until Ama had seen everyone and let them go back separately.
The imperial concubine walked beside Kangxi all the time, and when the emperor asked him something, she would just answer it.First of all, of course, he was concerned about the Empress Dowager's health. After learning that the ancestor was well, he asked about the situation in the harem.
Concubines below the rank of concubine all stay in the palace, and there are less than ten concubines in the Changchun Garden. Everyone has mixed into this position, knowing the rules.The emperor is not here, and there is nothing to argue about.
In general, everything is fine.
Kangxi walked up to the children again, all of them seemed to be in good shape, but Xiao Shiyi's height didn't seem to match his age.
This child is constantly suffering from serious and minor illnesses, just like Xiao Qi before, Kangxi doesn't have too many demands on him, as long as he grows up safely and healthily.
Yinyou's eyes didn't stay on Ama for long, and he couldn't wait to look at the prince behind him.
Just when he smiled and wanted to say hello to the prince's brother, suddenly, a big hand pressed on the top of his head, causing the brim of his hat to slide down a lot, blocking his sight.
The little guy hurriedly raised his hand to help his hat, and when he raised his head again, Ama and the prince brother had already walked past him.
Yinyou pouted as he stared at the tall figure in the front, and gave Ama a two-word evaluation—childish.
In the end, Kangxi asked all the concubines and princes to go back to their residences to rest. The imperial concubine, Yinyou, and the four brothers who accompanied him on a tour outside the Great Wall accompanied him to the Ningchun Hall to greet the Empress Dowager.
Yinyou ran over quickly, first took his elder brother's hand, the fourth elder brother looked down at him, the little guy raised his head, gave him a bright smile, and then prepared to run forward.
But the third elder brother on the other side always stops in front of Yinyou intentionally or unintentionally.The little guy was in a hurry, so he stretched out his hand to tug on his belt. The two brothers tugged and tugged for a long time. The little guy finally squeezed past the third brother by virtue of his agile figure, and turned around and made a face at him.
Finally, when Yinyou came to the prince, he glanced in front of him uneasy, and found that Ama was talking with Er Niang, in a very good mood, talking and laughing, and he didn't notice it for a while later.
So, the little guy boldly stretched out his hand and took the hand of the prince's elder brother.
As if he knew it was him, the prince didn't lower his head or look at him, but held his little hand, walked forward quietly without saying anything.
The eldest elder brother standing on the other side of the prince glanced this way, then turned his head back, and after a while, he turned his head and looked again.
Then, he stretched out his hand and pulled the prince calmly. Taking advantage of the moment when the prince frowned, he stood on the other side and quietly extended his hand to Yinyou.
The prince had no choice, he was walking forward side by side with the elder brother, so if he didn't move to the side, the formation would be impossible to see.
So, he could only take a step aside quietly.So the formation became that he and the elder brother moved forward with Yinyou sandwiched between them.
This movement was not small, although Kangxi, who was talking to the imperial concubine, didn't see it, but the guards and eunuchs next to him saw it.
But this is a matter of several princes, everyone has seen it, and pretended not to have seen it.
The elder brother kept his palms spread out towards Yinyou, but some little guys pretended not to see and didn't reach out.
The elder brother stretched his hand towards him again, almost touching Yinyou's arm.The little guy got impatient and stretched out his hand to push his hand, but the elder brother took the opportunity to hold his hand in his palm.
Therefore, Yinyou was held by the elder brother with one hand, and the eldest brother with the other, and walked all the way like this, no one let go of his hand.
Until a group of people followed the emperor to the courtyard gate of Ningchun Hall.
The door is only so narrow that three people standing side by side will definitely not be able to get in.Kangxi was already standing in the yard with his hands behind his back, the prince and elder brother were still screaming, and no one would let go.
The old father seemed to sense something was wrong, and suddenly turned his head.The moment he turned his head, the prince and elder brother let go of their hands in panic.
So, Kangxi looked at the three sons standing there, not knowing what they were doing.
He frowned and reprimanded softly: "Come in soon!"
"..."
After greeting the Empress Dowager, Kangxi will take his sons to the Empress Dowager to greet him.Then let them go back to West Garden, their respective residences.
Yinyou followed the prince to the Douyuan Bookstore, and originally wanted to accompany the prince's brother to make him feel better.
Unexpectedly, before staying for a while, that annoying Mr. Suo'etu came again.
This time the crown prince was extra polite to him, and even asked someone to give him a seat.
The two didn't talk about anything else, Suo'etu kept talking about the former queen.It is said that she was a lady from a famous family before she came out of the cabinet, and her words, deeds, and smiles are not comparable to ordinary women.
When you become a queen, it is even more ceremonial to the world.The emperor's first wife has an unparalleled status in the heart of Long Live God.
After going to Jingling, the prince was already full of longing for Er Niang.When Suo'etu mentioned it, he listened more carefully and asked him to talk more about the past of the Queen Mother.
Yinyou stood there, looking like an outsider.The little guy originally wanted to accompany the prince, but now it is a bit redundant.That being the case, he planned to go back.
So, he waited for a long time, and finally took advantage of Suo'etu drinking tea to moisten his throat, ready to say hello to the prince and left.
Who knew that he hadn't spoken yet, the prince seemed to know his intentions, grabbed his hand, pulled him to him, and held his hand.
Suo'etu just put down the teacup and looked up.Boy, those brothers are stuck together again.
The prince lowered his head, smiling at the corners of his brows and eyes.Looking at his younger brother, he was full of pampering: "Xiaoqi stay here and have dinner with the prince's brother, okay?"
Yinyou thought for a while, then turned to look at Suo'etu.
Then Suo'etu heard the prince say: "After traveling with Khan Ama for a few days, I am also a little tired. I will stop here today. Third Uncle, go back and rest first."
Suo'etu got up quickly, bowed to the prince and took his leave.
It was only when he walked out of the palace gate that he remembered that the crown prince had already seen off the guests before he had even said the official business, so it was a waste of time to come.
Yinyou accompanied the prince for dinner, and pestered him for a while to talk. After listening to their itinerary for more than a month, it seemed to be similar to previous years.Only then did the little guy feel relieved. Looking at it this way, he didn't seem to miss anything if he didn't follow.
The prince asked again: "How is your book going?"
"I will finish studying "Shangshu" soon, and I will start studying "Book of Rites"."
The prince recalled it for a while, only to realize that this little guy's learning progress is so fast.When the other princes were at his age, he hadn't finished studying "The Analects of Confucius", but he had already learned several classics.
Later, the prince asked him to write a few words, and looked at his calligraphy.Over the past month or so, the little guy's handwriting has improved a lot, with both form and spirit, more and more Yan Zhenqing's charm, round in the square, but also sharp.
The prince smiled and patted his head: "Xiaoqi is already so good at such a young age. When he grows up, he must be a person who has read poetry and books, and has both civil and military skills."
Later, Yinyou told Mr. Fu the crown prince's compliment to him.The latter knocked him on the head: "With your little knowledge, don't go out to show off in the future."
For some reason, Yinyou seemed to understand what Master said suddenly.
"My elder brother is not what you think."
Mr. Fu just glanced at him meaningfully, and didn't mention this matter again, leaving the rest for him to understand.
Later, Yinyou told Concubine He Huanggui about this.The imperial concubine pulled her son and sat side by side with him under a willow tree by the lake: "I think what Mr. Fu means is to tell you that if a tree is beautiful, it will be destroyed by the wind in the forest."
Yinyou bit his lower lip: "But I think brother Prince is not what he thinks."
"This has nothing to do with the prince. If the prince can't, it's hard to guarantee that others won't. You have to know how to restrain your edge in order to protect yourself."
Yinyou nodded: "I understand."
Kangxi stayed in the Changchun Garden for more than half a month, and did not drive back to the Forbidden City until the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month.
As the weather cooled down, the princes resumed the course arrangement of learning cultural knowledge in the morning and riding and archery in the afternoon.
However, Kangxi accepted the suggestion of the third elder brother and added a math class to the princes, taught by the Belgian missionary Ando.
The princes have never been exposed to this course, and it can be said that they know nothing about numerology.So, no matter how old or young, even the elder brother who is about to leave the palace and start a mansion, he also attends classes with his younger brothers.
Therefore, the little guy Yinyou had to go too.
He was so happy to be back in the study room with his brothers in class.And this time it was no longer the younger ones, but the brothers, except for the prince, were studying together.
This Mr. An just came to Daqing not long ago, and he spoke crappy official dialect in the capital, and made the princes below roar with laughter in the first class.
Everyone didn't care about listening to his lectures, they were all focused on his accent.
Among them, Yinyou is the one who can make the most noise. He has always been a serious hob meat to the masters in the study. He can't cut it, cook it, or chew it.
Returning to the study room this time, instead of getting rid of his bad habit of wandering off in class and affecting others, Seventh Prince got worse.
Go there, just like a storyteller in a teahouse, there is always something to say, the key is that the brothers next to him are really willing to listen to him.
The masters were so angry that they went back to the Hanlin Academy to find Nalan and asked him how he had taught students in the past few months, and the classroom discipline was too bad, but because of his identity, he could not be beaten or scolded , this is too difficult.
Nalan was at a loss, and had no idea what they were talking about: "Seventh elder brother is very obedient, he is serious in class, and he learns quickly..."
His colleagues all gave him a look of "who are you fooling", and dispersed one after another, each going to his own business.
On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Kangxi announced two things at the family banquet in the evening.Both of these things are pretty much the same.
The first thing is the marriage of the eldest princess. As early as a few years ago, Kangxi had already married his nominal eldest daughter to Borzigit Bandi of the Horqin tribe in Mongolia.
The eldest princess will be eighteen years old next year, and she will be of the age to get married.
The second thing is the big brother's marriage.As soon as Concubine Hui heard this, her smile could not be restrained from creeping up the corners of her eyes. She had been looking forward to these few years, and her son was going to start a family and start a career.
When the prince comes of age, he must first be enshrined, and then get married.After getting married, they are no longer children, and the emperor will arrange more opportunities for them to gradually get in touch with political affairs.
The elder brother's mansion has been planned and selected by the Ministry of Rites, and it is finally close to Luo Cheng. Dafujin has already been selected before, and he is waiting to pick a good day and auspicious day for the wedding.
This is Kangxi's first adult son. As a father, he is naturally happy.He also made a special trip to ask the Ministry of Rites to go over the process of the prince's marriage and present it to him.
The point is, after the elder brother gets married, it will be the crown prince's turn.
The brothers looked at the elder brother who was sitting at the front one after another. The elder brother was about to leave the palace and became a real adult. The younger brothers were more or less envious.
But the elder brother sat there, acting as if nothing happened.
He has no idea about whether he will get married or not. The key is that he doesn't have to study anymore, and he can help Ama handle government affairs in an upright manner. This is what he looks forward to the most.
Not long after the Mid-Autumn Festival, a series of changes took place in the previous dynasty.
First of all, Han Su, who had been promoted all the way and was highly valued by Kangxi, unexpectedly resigned from office because of the persuasion of several colleagues.
Kangxi made a special trip to summon him to the South Study Room, and the monarch and his ministers chatted for a long time, but they couldn't change his decision.
Han Su's intention to go has been decided, Kangxi has no choice but to let him go.
This incident caused quite a stir in the court.All the grown-ups, who have trouble sleeping and eating when there is little trouble, thought it was Mr. Han who knew something in advance, so he put himself out of the matter first.
After all, in just a few years, he was able to skyrocket from a small cabinet secretary to a second-rank official in the court, and there was only one cabinet bachelor.
If he didn't get some news, why would he leave.
But Mr. Han really saw through the officialdom's activities of forming parties for personal gain and fighting against each other, and he just wanted to go back and be a scholar who studied learning.
Then came the situation of the Yellow River during the flood season this year. The cement developed by Dai Zi really had a miraculous effect.The embankments built with it did not break this year.
This made Kangxi feel relieved, and also allowed Jin Fu's precarious black hat to be temporarily preserved.
Not long after, someone suddenly read a copy of Tang Bin, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, in the court hall, and some of his early remarks were excerpted and reported to Kangxi.
He also found a sentence in Tang Bin's proclamation in Suzhou: "Love the people with a heart, but there is no way to save them", as his slander against the court, and asked the emperor to severely punish Tang Bin.
Kangxi was shocked after hearing this, and immediately sent someone to investigate the matter thoroughly.
When Tang Bin came to Kangxi, he didn't argue for himself. He just said that he was ignorant and made many mistakes, and asked the emperor to punish him severely.
Kangxi: "..."
He is a very kind person, especially like small animals.When Yinyou moved back to Chengqian Palace, he left the rabbit in Compassion Palace.The fifth elder brother was distressed that the rabbit was unaccompanied, so he made a special trip to bring it back to Ningshou Palace to raise it.
Even if he treats animals like this, how can he not feel pity for his fellow brothers.
Everyone played together for a while, and in the evening, they went back to have dinner.
When walking out of the yard, Yinyou saw that the fifth elder brother was at the end, so he stood there and waited, but the fifth elder brother lowered his head and walked past him directly.
"Fifth brother, fifth brother!"
"..."
The fifth elder brother seemed not to hear it, and walked straight forward.
Yinyou ran forward in two or three steps, put on Fifth Brother's shoulder from behind, leaned into his ear and shouted: "Fifth Brother!"
"Ahhhhhhh!" Brother Wu was immersed in his own thoughts, when he suddenly jumped up, "Xiao Qi, what are you doing? You scared me!"
Yinyou pouted: "You ignore me when I tell you."
"Where is it?" Fifth elder brother continued to walk forward, "I just didn't hear it."
Yinyou leaned over and put his arms around his shoulders and asked him, "Fifth brother, I think you don't seem very happy."
Fifth elder brother shook his head: "No, why are you unhappy?"
The little guy said: "You have it all written on your face, and you still say you don't have it."
Fifth elder brother bowed his head and did not speak.
Yinyou was not in a hurry, so he quietly followed Fifth Brother.
Two people walked by the lake, and the cranes flapped their wings and passed by the lake.Yinyou closed his eyes, as if he could feel the splash they made.
Actually no, because the cranes are far away from them, there is no water splash.
After a short walk, you will arrive at the lotus pond, where a large area of water is covered by layers of lotus leaves.June is the season when lotus blossoms are in full bloom, and the pink and tender petals are reflected in the setting sun, which looks extraordinarily gorgeous.
Yinyou bent down, plucked a dewdrop from a lotus leaf, and said: "After all, the scenery of West Lake in June is different from that in four seasons."
The fifth elder brother spoke behind him: "The lotus leaves are infinitely green in the sky, and the lotus flowers are red in the sun."
Yinyou turned around and held the small water droplet in his palm to the Fifth Brother: "Fifth Brother, try it, it's sweet."
Fifth elder brother looked at him suspiciously, and asked, "Really?"
"Really!" Yinyou said sincerely, "It must be sweet, otherwise why would Aunt Yun come to catch the dewdrops in a jar every morning, saying that she would save it for Mama Ukuma to make tea."
As soon as he said this, Fifth Prince lowered his head in conviction, rolled his tongue in the palm of his hand, and rolled the dewdrop into his mouth.
"Hey hey hey!" Yinyou felt his palms itching, he hid back and asked him expectantly, "Is it sweet?"
The fifth elder brother frowned: "The water in the well in the back mountain is sweeter."
Yinyou Yinyou sat on the big rock beside him, and saw a fish under the lotus leaf vomited a bubble, and quickly disappeared into the water.
He asked, "Fifth brother, are you happier?"
Brother Fifth sat down beside him: "Xiao Qi, can you tell me in detail what you met by the lake that day..."
At this point, he paused, as if looking for an appropriate word in his mind, and finally said: "Have you encountered the matter of my mother-in-law and my two younger brothers?"
Yinyou turned his head to look at him, and then told the details of that day.It also includes the conversation between him and Brother Jiu at the Yuanfei Yuyue Pavilion.
The fifth prince became even more silent after listening.
After a while, the sun had slowly set over the mountain before he opened his mouth: "She never took me for a walk by the lake."
"???"
At first Yinyou didn't realize who the "she" the other party was talking about, but it took him a while to realize that it was Concubine Yi.
The fifth elder brother was sent to Ningshou Palace by Kangxi since he was a child, and was raised by the empress dowager.
Firstly, Concubine Yi was not of high status at that time, so she was not qualified to raise her own children.
Secondly, the empress dowager is Mongolian, and Kangxi asked her to raise the fifth prince not only to pass the time, but also to win over the Borzigit family.
The fifth elder brother grew up under the empress dowager's knee since he was a child. Before Concubine Yi gave birth to the ninth elder brother, he would go to Ningshou Palace to see the fifth elder brother from time to time.
Later, the ninth elder brother and the eleventh elder brother were born in succession, especially the eleventh elder brother was in poor health, so she really couldn't spare any attention to pay attention to the eldest son.
At the age of studying, the fifth elder brother was so spoiled by the empress dowager that he was reluctant to say a word of serious words, let alone stern supervision.Naturally, he is not as diligent and motivated in studying as other elder brothers.His grades are at the bottom among his brothers, and he still can't speak Chinese fluently, let alone write it.
Concubine Yi knew that this son could not be counted on, and Xiao Wu had no relationship with her, let alone closeness.As a result, the relationship between mother and son naturally became more and more distant.
Yinyou put an arm around his shoulder: "What does that matter, am I walking by the lake with you?"
The fifth elder brother squinted and looked towards the mountains in the distance: "I don't even know what wronged the ninth brother. At least he grew up with Er Niang since he was a child, but what about me? Since I was a child, she has never coaxed me to sleep She slept once, didn't feed me once, and she never stayed by my side when I was sick."
Yinyou comforted him: "Don't you still have Huang Mama? She loves you the most."
The fifth elder brother lowered his head: "Huang Mama is Huang Mama, and Erniang is Erniang."
Yinyou thinks what he said is right, no one in this world can replace Er Niang's position in a child's heart.No matter how nice Huang Mama was to Fifth Brother, it couldn't make up for the importance of Er Niang's role.
But in half a year, the fifth elder brother will be nine years old.The loss in the past will become an eternal regret, no matter how Yifei treats him in the future, such a regret cannot be made up for.
"Actually..." Yinyou thought for a long time and didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only say, "Actually, Empress Yifei also has you in her heart, but she has three sons, and her love must be divided into three parts."
When the fifth elder brother was discussing this issue, his mind turned quickly: "There are still three shares of different sizes, and I gave the smallest share to me."
The little guy suddenly changed the subject: "Did you secretly learn mathematics from the third brother?"
"No way, didn't the third brother go out with Ama?"
Yinyou asked him: "Then why are you so good at counting?"
"..."
"Okay! Think about it, at least you still have Huangma's greatest love, isn't there a lot in total?"
That being said, it seems pretty good.
The fifth elder brother leaned on Yinyou's shoulder with his head broken.The younger brother's thin and thin shoulders seem to be able to give him enough comfort.
"Fifth brother, look!" Yinyou suddenly pointed to the underside of the lotus leaf and shouted loudly.
"What?" Brother Wu looked intently, only to see the lotus leaf trembling, but couldn't see anything clearly.
"A little fish was spitting bubbles just now."
"..."
Although Yinyou learned swordsmanship from Mr. Fu, he didn't lose the mentality that the little sword spirit gave him.But instead of waking up every morning and starting to practice, I went to bed after practicing at night.
One morning, the weather was particularly muggy.Nalan taught Yinyou an article in the study, which was "Book of Zhou Wuyi" in "Shangshu".
It was too hot in the study room. Although Yinyou was wearing light cotton silk regular clothes, every button was buttoned neatly, and he couldn't fan himself. The little guy was so hot that he was a little restless.
Nalan said: "This article was written by Duke Zhou."
Yinyou asked, "Who is Duke Zhou?"
"Duke Zhou, the founding father of the Western Zhou Dynasty. Ji's name is Dan."
"Huh?" The absent-minded little guy was suddenly attracted by the name, "There are eggs?"
"..."
Nalan had no choice but to continue to talk: "A gentleman's place, there is no escape. The prophet knows the difficulty of farming, and if it is ease, he will know the support of the villain."
Yinyou asked him: "Does this 'Wuyi' refer to the 'Wuyi' in Wuyi Zhai?"
Nalan gave him a thumbs up and praised him for his cleverness: "Yes, the word "Wuyi" in Wuyizhai was taken from this article. A gentleman should not be greedy for pleasure if he is in his position. Only through hardships can we understand the difficulties of the common people."
"It was the announcement of Zhou that warned King Cheng not to be greedy for ease, but to learn from the quality of Zhou Wenwang's diligence in governing by learning from the Shang Dynasty." [Baidu Encyclopedia]
Yinyou nodded: "No wonder the place where you study is called 'Wuyizhai', so this is what Ama wants to say to the prince's brother."
Nalan thought for a while: "Perhaps it is also a warning to all the princes to be prepared for danger in times of peace."
Yinyou nodded, and when he mentioned Ama and the prince's brother, his thoughts flew out of the Great Wall and onto the endless prairie.
He also really wants to ride a horse on the grassland... If you can't ride the sun, you have to get a taller and stronger horse.Watching his brothers hunt, watching Mongolian warriors wrestling at night, eating rabbit legs and his favorite deer liver.Sleeping in the yurt when he was sleepy, asking the elder brother to change and wash him, and asking the prince brother to coax him to sleep...
Thinking of this, the little guy became unhappy. Ama took her four sons out this time, but she just didn't want to take him with her.
The little guy secretly decided in his heart that when Ama came back from outside the Great Wall, he must not talk to him for three days... no, five days!
"Seventh brother, seventh brother?"
With the sound of "click", Yinyou finally pulled his thoughts from outside the Great Wall back to reality.
His eyes changed from being confused to focusing, and he saw Rong Ruo looking at him with a surprised expression.The little guy said dumbly: "What... what's wrong?"
Nalan rushed over quickly, held his little hand, took out a piece of the pen held by his fingertips, and looked down at his fingers carefully: "Is there any scratch?"
"Ah?" Yinyou lowered his head and saw that a writing brush he just held in his hand was broken into two pieces.
The little guy stared wide-eyed and asked, "This... I made this?"
He even forcibly squeezed a pen holder made of ceramics into two pieces!
Although the pen holder is made of ceramics, it is also made by the Royal Kiln Factory for the convenience of the little princes. It is particularly thin and light, so it is not heavy and is easy to hold.
Shun Anyan on the side nodded: "Yes, it was you who pinched the brush into two pieces."
Yinyou turned his head to look at his haha bead. Apart from being surprised, there was also admiration for him on the other side's face, as if the seventh elder brother had mastered some kind of martial arts.It's nothing to crush a brush, and it's not a problem to crush a person's neck.
Nalan hurriedly asked the eunuch waiting at the door to come in and clean up the broken porcelain pieces on the table.He looked carefully at Yinyou's hand again, and felt relieved after making sure that he was not injured.
"It doesn't matter, maybe this pen was cracked because of bumps before, and you just crushed it with a coincidence."
"..."
But in Yinyou's memory, he has never touched this pen.
Yinyou has been thinking about this matter all day.Because his hands are small and the pen is light and handy, he uses it smoothly and has been using it all the time.
His three Haha Beads, Nalan and Mr. Fu usually choose to use other than to use his pen.
He also thought that maybe some eunuch bumped it accidentally when tidying up. Anyway, the pen was already broken, so it was useless to think about it.
Lying on the bed at night, when Yinyou was about to practice the mental method, the little sword spirit ran out.
In fact, he can summon the little sword spirit at any time without using the Seven Star Sword.It's just that Yinyou despises the little thing's chattering and annoying, and generally doesn't like to let him out, only let him out when lying on the bed at night to help him practice mental dharma.
Hearing what he said about the pen, Little Sword Spirit snorted softly: "It's not the pen's problem, it's you, your power is awakening, but you can't fully control it yet."
"Huh?" Yinyou asked, "Is my power just to crush a writing brush?"
"of course not!"
"Then what else can I do? Help my mother open walnuts, one in each hand!"
"..."
Yinyou found that his power was indeed out of his control. Anyway, after crushing that writing brush, he never crushed anything else.
The sword moves that Mr. Fu taught him are actually very simple, there are only twelve moves in total, and if you learn one move a day, you can finish it in twelve days.
But Mr. Fu didn't teach him new ones, he asked him to practice this set over and over again every day.
Yinyou was a little impatient: "Master, shouldn't it be time for us to learn something new?"
Mr. Fu glared at him: "Learn something new, you haven't practiced well yet."
"But I have learned it all."
"You can't learn until you beat Nalan."
"..."
Yinyou thought: "It will take several years to beat Rong Ruo."
But Mr. Fu said: "Although there are only twelve simple moves in the sword, the changes are endless. Only when the sword moves are practiced to the level of proficiency and can be retracted and released freely can you be fierce and invincible."
All right, since Master said so, let's practice.
Mr. Fu didn't just teach him swordsmanship, he also taught him everything when he was interested.
Nalan once said: "This Mr. Fu's knowledge is unfathomable. Ordinary people can become officials if they learn one-tenth of him, and they can worship generals and become marquises if they learn half or six percent of him."
Yinyou asked: "What about [-]% to [-]%?"
Nalan just smiled and didn't answer.
It wasn't until Yinyou really started to study with Mr. Fu that he realized what Nalan said was true.The things that Mr. Fu told him seemed to open a new door for him, which he had never heard of or read in any book.
At the beginning of July, Kangxi returned to Luan from outside the Great Wall.On the way, they also sent someone back to the Empress Dowager with a whole bear skin, bear bile that can be used as medicine, and preserved deer preserved.
After Kangxi returned to the capital, according to the usual practice, he would go to Jingling to pay homage to the two empresses.Then spend one night in Nanyuan, and then return to the palace.
The night before Kangxi came back, the concubines who lived in Changchun Garden got the news.On the second day, everyone got up early in the morning, dressed up, cleaned themselves up beautifully, and went to the gate of the palace to greet them.
The emperor has been away for more than a month, and when he comes back, the first thing he sees is that the eyes of the empress shine, maybe he will turn over whose brand at night.
Not only do you have to dress up beautifully, but your children should also dress up beautifully.There are so many princes and princesses standing in a row, how can the emperor pay attention to everyone, he naturally chooses the one that catches his attention the most.
Yinyou followed the brothers to the gate of the palace, and everyone stood in a row in order of seniority.On Yinyou's right is the sixth elder brother, and on the left is the eighth elder brother. Looking over there, the two-year-old Xiao Shiyi is also standing there obediently, tilting his head to welcome Khan Ama.
After standing for about an hour, the sun had already risen above the head, and then the eunuch came to report that the emperor's Luanjia had passed the mountain gate and was about to arrive at the Dagong gate.
Kangxi sat on the Luanjia, surrounded by his Luan Yiwei, followed by the prince, eldest elder brother, third elder brother, and fourth elder brother. The four princes were all wearing court clothes and riding on horses.
Yinyou stretched his neck and looked over, the eldest brother had grown into an adult's stature, the prince's brother was already a handsome young man, and the third and elder brothers also had their own charms.
The little guy turned his head and glanced at all the empresses, as well as brothers and sisters.Suddenly he remembered the conversation he had with Fifth Brother by the lake a few days ago.
At that time, he said that Concubine Yi had three children, so love should be divided into three parts.
Thinking about it now, in the final analysis, they have to blame their Ama for this matter, why did they marry so many wives and have so many children.
Thinking of this, the little guy temporarily revised his decision from ignoring Ama for five days to seven days.
The imperial concubine led the crowd to salute the emperor. Among all the concubines, she stood at the front and wore the most plain clothes.
She doesn't even want to come, but if others don't come, the emperor might not notice, and if the imperial concubine doesn't come, is that plausible?
Kangxi picked up the imperial concubine and bowed his head and said something to her, but Yinyou was too far away, so he couldn't hear clearly.
The point is that his attention is not on Ama at all, but on the prince behind him.
The prince was wearing an apricot-yellow court dress, a court crown on his head, and court beads hanging on his chest. He was the most distinguished person besides the emperor.
Every gesture he made showed the majesty of the crown prince, his temperament was warm and restrained, but there was no trace of joy on his face.
Others don't know, or no one pays attention to why the prince doesn't seem very happy.
But Yinyou knew that every time he came back from Jingling, the prince would be depressed for several days.This is a son, nostalgia for a mother he never met.
Yinyou really wanted to rush over to hug him and comfort him.
However, everyone stood here in order to welcome Ama back to the palace. He could only stand with his brothers until Ama had seen everyone and let them go back separately.
The imperial concubine walked beside Kangxi all the time, and when the emperor asked him something, she would just answer it.First of all, of course, he was concerned about the Empress Dowager's health. After learning that the ancestor was well, he asked about the situation in the harem.
Concubines below the rank of concubine all stay in the palace, and there are less than ten concubines in the Changchun Garden. Everyone has mixed into this position, knowing the rules.The emperor is not here, and there is nothing to argue about.
In general, everything is fine.
Kangxi walked up to the children again, all of them seemed to be in good shape, but Xiao Shiyi's height didn't seem to match his age.
This child is constantly suffering from serious and minor illnesses, just like Xiao Qi before, Kangxi doesn't have too many demands on him, as long as he grows up safely and healthily.
Yinyou's eyes didn't stay on Ama for long, and he couldn't wait to look at the prince behind him.
Just when he smiled and wanted to say hello to the prince's brother, suddenly, a big hand pressed on the top of his head, causing the brim of his hat to slide down a lot, blocking his sight.
The little guy hurriedly raised his hand to help his hat, and when he raised his head again, Ama and the prince brother had already walked past him.
Yinyou pouted as he stared at the tall figure in the front, and gave Ama a two-word evaluation—childish.
In the end, Kangxi asked all the concubines and princes to go back to their residences to rest. The imperial concubine, Yinyou, and the four brothers who accompanied him on a tour outside the Great Wall accompanied him to the Ningchun Hall to greet the Empress Dowager.
Yinyou ran over quickly, first took his elder brother's hand, the fourth elder brother looked down at him, the little guy raised his head, gave him a bright smile, and then prepared to run forward.
But the third elder brother on the other side always stops in front of Yinyou intentionally or unintentionally.The little guy was in a hurry, so he stretched out his hand to tug on his belt. The two brothers tugged and tugged for a long time. The little guy finally squeezed past the third brother by virtue of his agile figure, and turned around and made a face at him.
Finally, when Yinyou came to the prince, he glanced in front of him uneasy, and found that Ama was talking with Er Niang, in a very good mood, talking and laughing, and he didn't notice it for a while later.
So, the little guy boldly stretched out his hand and took the hand of the prince's elder brother.
As if he knew it was him, the prince didn't lower his head or look at him, but held his little hand, walked forward quietly without saying anything.
The eldest elder brother standing on the other side of the prince glanced this way, then turned his head back, and after a while, he turned his head and looked again.
Then, he stretched out his hand and pulled the prince calmly. Taking advantage of the moment when the prince frowned, he stood on the other side and quietly extended his hand to Yinyou.
The prince had no choice, he was walking forward side by side with the elder brother, so if he didn't move to the side, the formation would be impossible to see.
So, he could only take a step aside quietly.So the formation became that he and the elder brother moved forward with Yinyou sandwiched between them.
This movement was not small, although Kangxi, who was talking to the imperial concubine, didn't see it, but the guards and eunuchs next to him saw it.
But this is a matter of several princes, everyone has seen it, and pretended not to have seen it.
The elder brother kept his palms spread out towards Yinyou, but some little guys pretended not to see and didn't reach out.
The elder brother stretched his hand towards him again, almost touching Yinyou's arm.The little guy got impatient and stretched out his hand to push his hand, but the elder brother took the opportunity to hold his hand in his palm.
Therefore, Yinyou was held by the elder brother with one hand, and the eldest brother with the other, and walked all the way like this, no one let go of his hand.
Until a group of people followed the emperor to the courtyard gate of Ningchun Hall.
The door is only so narrow that three people standing side by side will definitely not be able to get in.Kangxi was already standing in the yard with his hands behind his back, the prince and elder brother were still screaming, and no one would let go.
The old father seemed to sense something was wrong, and suddenly turned his head.The moment he turned his head, the prince and elder brother let go of their hands in panic.
So, Kangxi looked at the three sons standing there, not knowing what they were doing.
He frowned and reprimanded softly: "Come in soon!"
"..."
After greeting the Empress Dowager, Kangxi will take his sons to the Empress Dowager to greet him.Then let them go back to West Garden, their respective residences.
Yinyou followed the prince to the Douyuan Bookstore, and originally wanted to accompany the prince's brother to make him feel better.
Unexpectedly, before staying for a while, that annoying Mr. Suo'etu came again.
This time the crown prince was extra polite to him, and even asked someone to give him a seat.
The two didn't talk about anything else, Suo'etu kept talking about the former queen.It is said that she was a lady from a famous family before she came out of the cabinet, and her words, deeds, and smiles are not comparable to ordinary women.
When you become a queen, it is even more ceremonial to the world.The emperor's first wife has an unparalleled status in the heart of Long Live God.
After going to Jingling, the prince was already full of longing for Er Niang.When Suo'etu mentioned it, he listened more carefully and asked him to talk more about the past of the Queen Mother.
Yinyou stood there, looking like an outsider.The little guy originally wanted to accompany the prince, but now it is a bit redundant.That being the case, he planned to go back.
So, he waited for a long time, and finally took advantage of Suo'etu drinking tea to moisten his throat, ready to say hello to the prince and left.
Who knew that he hadn't spoken yet, the prince seemed to know his intentions, grabbed his hand, pulled him to him, and held his hand.
Suo'etu just put down the teacup and looked up.Boy, those brothers are stuck together again.
The prince lowered his head, smiling at the corners of his brows and eyes.Looking at his younger brother, he was full of pampering: "Xiaoqi stay here and have dinner with the prince's brother, okay?"
Yinyou thought for a while, then turned to look at Suo'etu.
Then Suo'etu heard the prince say: "After traveling with Khan Ama for a few days, I am also a little tired. I will stop here today. Third Uncle, go back and rest first."
Suo'etu got up quickly, bowed to the prince and took his leave.
It was only when he walked out of the palace gate that he remembered that the crown prince had already seen off the guests before he had even said the official business, so it was a waste of time to come.
Yinyou accompanied the prince for dinner, and pestered him for a while to talk. After listening to their itinerary for more than a month, it seemed to be similar to previous years.Only then did the little guy feel relieved. Looking at it this way, he didn't seem to miss anything if he didn't follow.
The prince asked again: "How is your book going?"
"I will finish studying "Shangshu" soon, and I will start studying "Book of Rites"."
The prince recalled it for a while, only to realize that this little guy's learning progress is so fast.When the other princes were at his age, he hadn't finished studying "The Analects of Confucius", but he had already learned several classics.
Later, the prince asked him to write a few words, and looked at his calligraphy.Over the past month or so, the little guy's handwriting has improved a lot, with both form and spirit, more and more Yan Zhenqing's charm, round in the square, but also sharp.
The prince smiled and patted his head: "Xiaoqi is already so good at such a young age. When he grows up, he must be a person who has read poetry and books, and has both civil and military skills."
Later, Yinyou told Mr. Fu the crown prince's compliment to him.The latter knocked him on the head: "With your little knowledge, don't go out to show off in the future."
For some reason, Yinyou seemed to understand what Master said suddenly.
"My elder brother is not what you think."
Mr. Fu just glanced at him meaningfully, and didn't mention this matter again, leaving the rest for him to understand.
Later, Yinyou told Concubine He Huanggui about this.The imperial concubine pulled her son and sat side by side with him under a willow tree by the lake: "I think what Mr. Fu means is to tell you that if a tree is beautiful, it will be destroyed by the wind in the forest."
Yinyou bit his lower lip: "But I think brother Prince is not what he thinks."
"This has nothing to do with the prince. If the prince can't, it's hard to guarantee that others won't. You have to know how to restrain your edge in order to protect yourself."
Yinyou nodded: "I understand."
Kangxi stayed in the Changchun Garden for more than half a month, and did not drive back to the Forbidden City until the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month.
As the weather cooled down, the princes resumed the course arrangement of learning cultural knowledge in the morning and riding and archery in the afternoon.
However, Kangxi accepted the suggestion of the third elder brother and added a math class to the princes, taught by the Belgian missionary Ando.
The princes have never been exposed to this course, and it can be said that they know nothing about numerology.So, no matter how old or young, even the elder brother who is about to leave the palace and start a mansion, he also attends classes with his younger brothers.
Therefore, the little guy Yinyou had to go too.
He was so happy to be back in the study room with his brothers in class.And this time it was no longer the younger ones, but the brothers, except for the prince, were studying together.
This Mr. An just came to Daqing not long ago, and he spoke crappy official dialect in the capital, and made the princes below roar with laughter in the first class.
Everyone didn't care about listening to his lectures, they were all focused on his accent.
Among them, Yinyou is the one who can make the most noise. He has always been a serious hob meat to the masters in the study. He can't cut it, cook it, or chew it.
Returning to the study room this time, instead of getting rid of his bad habit of wandering off in class and affecting others, Seventh Prince got worse.
Go there, just like a storyteller in a teahouse, there is always something to say, the key is that the brothers next to him are really willing to listen to him.
The masters were so angry that they went back to the Hanlin Academy to find Nalan and asked him how he had taught students in the past few months, and the classroom discipline was too bad, but because of his identity, he could not be beaten or scolded , this is too difficult.
Nalan was at a loss, and had no idea what they were talking about: "Seventh elder brother is very obedient, he is serious in class, and he learns quickly..."
His colleagues all gave him a look of "who are you fooling", and dispersed one after another, each going to his own business.
On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Kangxi announced two things at the family banquet in the evening.Both of these things are pretty much the same.
The first thing is the marriage of the eldest princess. As early as a few years ago, Kangxi had already married his nominal eldest daughter to Borzigit Bandi of the Horqin tribe in Mongolia.
The eldest princess will be eighteen years old next year, and she will be of the age to get married.
The second thing is the big brother's marriage.As soon as Concubine Hui heard this, her smile could not be restrained from creeping up the corners of her eyes. She had been looking forward to these few years, and her son was going to start a family and start a career.
When the prince comes of age, he must first be enshrined, and then get married.After getting married, they are no longer children, and the emperor will arrange more opportunities for them to gradually get in touch with political affairs.
The elder brother's mansion has been planned and selected by the Ministry of Rites, and it is finally close to Luo Cheng. Dafujin has already been selected before, and he is waiting to pick a good day and auspicious day for the wedding.
This is Kangxi's first adult son. As a father, he is naturally happy.He also made a special trip to ask the Ministry of Rites to go over the process of the prince's marriage and present it to him.
The point is, after the elder brother gets married, it will be the crown prince's turn.
The brothers looked at the elder brother who was sitting at the front one after another. The elder brother was about to leave the palace and became a real adult. The younger brothers were more or less envious.
But the elder brother sat there, acting as if nothing happened.
He has no idea about whether he will get married or not. The key is that he doesn't have to study anymore, and he can help Ama handle government affairs in an upright manner. This is what he looks forward to the most.
Not long after the Mid-Autumn Festival, a series of changes took place in the previous dynasty.
First of all, Han Su, who had been promoted all the way and was highly valued by Kangxi, unexpectedly resigned from office because of the persuasion of several colleagues.
Kangxi made a special trip to summon him to the South Study Room, and the monarch and his ministers chatted for a long time, but they couldn't change his decision.
Han Su's intention to go has been decided, Kangxi has no choice but to let him go.
This incident caused quite a stir in the court.All the grown-ups, who have trouble sleeping and eating when there is little trouble, thought it was Mr. Han who knew something in advance, so he put himself out of the matter first.
After all, in just a few years, he was able to skyrocket from a small cabinet secretary to a second-rank official in the court, and there was only one cabinet bachelor.
If he didn't get some news, why would he leave.
But Mr. Han really saw through the officialdom's activities of forming parties for personal gain and fighting against each other, and he just wanted to go back and be a scholar who studied learning.
Then came the situation of the Yellow River during the flood season this year. The cement developed by Dai Zi really had a miraculous effect.The embankments built with it did not break this year.
This made Kangxi feel relieved, and also allowed Jin Fu's precarious black hat to be temporarily preserved.
Not long after, someone suddenly read a copy of Tang Bin, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, in the court hall, and some of his early remarks were excerpted and reported to Kangxi.
He also found a sentence in Tang Bin's proclamation in Suzhou: "Love the people with a heart, but there is no way to save them", as his slander against the court, and asked the emperor to severely punish Tang Bin.
Kangxi was shocked after hearing this, and immediately sent someone to investigate the matter thoroughly.
When Tang Bin came to Kangxi, he didn't argue for himself. He just said that he was ignorant and made many mistakes, and asked the emperor to punish him severely.
Kangxi: "..."
