[Qing Chuan] The daily life of the seven princes

Just looking at each other from such a long distance, it is not difficult to see that Kangxi is really panicked.

The emperor doesn't have an affectionate personality, he has too many wives, and a large group of people revolve around him alone.On weekdays, others coax him.He pretended to be a major event in the world in his heart, so he couldn't pretend to be anything else.

Only the emperor's grandmother, let him always think about it in his heart.It was the empress dowager who taught him since he was a child and single-handedly supported him to the throne. If there was no empress dowager, there would be no emperor today.

When he heard that the Empress Dowager was sick, he was more anxious than anyone else. He knelt in front of his ancestor's bed, wishing he could take her sick.

The imperial concubine expressed her understanding of the eagerness and worry of the family members, and only said: "The ancestor has just taken the medicine and has fallen asleep. The emperor should be quiet."

Kangxi was stunned for a moment, maybe because he was overthinking, sitting there and still had time to say something, Yinyou who was standing beside him couldn't wait to run over there.

The little guy has lived in the Compassion Palace for so many years, and now there is still his green gauze cabinet in the warm pavilion that has not been dismantled.

He is more familiar with this place and the empress dowager than anyone else, and has a deep affection.

Now that Erniang and the imperial physicians retreated from the warm pavilion one after another, he thought he should go in by himself to accompany Aunt Ukuma.

However, just as he was about to move his footsteps, his small body fell to the ground involuntarily, and he couldn't use any strength in his legs, and he felt a pinprick-like pain when he moved a little.

His fall frightened everyone in the room. Sitting there, Kangxi stretched out his hand to grab it, but Yinyou ran in the opposite direction and fell in the other direction. His hands were not that long. He could only watch helplessly as his son fell on the floor tiles.

Yinyou propped his small hands on the ground, and tried twice but failed to stand up.

Everyone in the Compassion Ning Palace knew that Brother Qi suffered from leg problems after a serious illness.Although it has been two years, it seems that he can run and jump, and there is no major problem.

But the imperial doctor said that the root cause of this disease cannot be broken, and there will always be some impact.

On weekdays, the Empress Dowager was extremely worried.Those who are servants naturally remember it firmly.

Seventh elder brother stays at the Palace of Compassion and Ning every year during the Chinese New Year. The stove and cushions are all properly prepared for him, so as not to be cold and tire him.

The fall made the maid next to her panicky.He was in a hurry to help him, but he didn't get up.

The prince stepped forward to help him, but Yinyou waved his hand and simply sat on the ground: "My legs are numb and I can't stand up."

He walked such a long distance with Ama in the afternoon, and stood beside her for at least an hour, motionless, no wonder his legs didn't feel numb.

Kangxi was so focused on the imperial grandmother inside, how could he be distracted to notice him?

At this time, the imperial concubine had already walked over, and picked up her son: "It's too cold on the ground, my mother is holding you."

He is almost seven years old, he has grown a lot taller, and he is no longer a child who can act like a baby in Erniang's arms casually.

It was also difficult for the imperial concubine to hold him, and Kangxi stood up immediately, making room for the warm and soft position under her buttocks, and helped the imperial concubine, and let the mother and son sit down.

The imperial concubine let her son sit on her lap and gently rubbed his legs to relieve the numbness and muscle stiffness caused by standing for a long time.

Kangxi patted his son's head: "Why don't you tell me your legs are numb?"

Yinyou raised his eyes, looked at him with big and clear eyes, did not speak, but silently leaned against Eniang's chest.

The imperial concubine felt the strangeness of her son, but the little guy tried her best to look calm, so she didn't say anything, thinking that her son was worried about the condition of the empress dowager.

Yinyou didn't speak, but his body seemed to avoid him, and Kangxi could only withdraw his hand in embarrassment.Turning around, seeing the imperial physician still kneeling on the ground, he waved his hand and told him to go down first.

The room was a little stuffy, which made the emperor even more depressed, so he strode to the door of the hall with his hands behind his back, lifted the curtain and went out.

Seeing him, the prince went out like that, took the cloak and hat from the attendant at the side, and followed him out.

It was only after Kangxi went out that he found that Cao Yin was still standing guard outside the courtyard.Kangxi walked over and took him into the garden without saying anything.

Seeing his face, Cao Yin knew that the Empress Dowager was not in a good condition.I wanted to comfort him a few words, but I didn't know what to say.

So, the prince and the prince just stood with him in the cold wind.

I don't know how long it took before I heard the emperor say: "Ziqing, you go to the cabinet to convey my will. In the past few days, I will serve the empress dowager in the Palace of Compassion and Peace. All memorials will be handled by the cabinet until the empress dowager. Until the Empress Dowager recovers."

"Yes!"

He turned his head and glanced at the prince: "You go too."

But the prince bowed and said, "My son also wants to stay and serve Ukumama."

Kangxi waved his hand: "You just take this opportunity to take a look at the cabinet's process of handling memorials, anyway, it will be useful in the future."

In the end, the emperor's voice became low and difficult.Not just the Empress Dowager, everyone will grow old, this is the law of nature, even the emperor who is used to hearing "long live" will inevitably be born, grow old, get sick and die.

After he finished speaking, he left without looking at Cao Yin and the prince again.

When Kangxi walked back to the courtyard, Prince Yu, Prince Gong and other princes who received the news all came to the Palace of Compassion and Peace, and stood in the courtyard in the wind and snow, fearing to disturb the Empress Dowager's rest, so they did not dare to enter the house.

Kangxi glanced at them: "Go back, don't make trouble here. Brothers should study tomorrow morning, don't be affected."

The princes did not dare to disobey the emperor's father's arrangement, and retreated quietly.Only Prince Yu and Prince Gong were still standing there, refusing to leave.

The three brothers served the Empress Dowager together in her later years, but because the ancestors had always lived in the palace, Fu Quan and Chang Ning could only visit the palace regularly to pay their respects, and were accompanied by followers when they left the palace.

Now the emperor's grandmother is ill, and I don't know what the situation is. Although the two of them are not as anxious as Kangxi, they are also very worried, and naturally they refuse to leave.

Kangxi waved his hand again: "The Empress Dowager has fallen asleep, come back tomorrow morning."

The emperor said so, the two princes could only obey the order and retreat.Because she was worried about what would happen to the empress dowager, she didn't dare to leave the palace.

After being massaged by the imperial concubine, Yinyou's legs soon recovered.So the little guy became restless again, struggling to get down.

The imperial concubine hugged him to prevent him from moving: "Why are you going?"

"I'm going to see Aunt Ukuma in the warm pavilion."

"But Mama Ukuma is already asleep, we can't go in and disturb her."

"I know." The tears on the little guy's face had already dried up. He didn't cry or fuss, and he was very sensible. "I'll go in and stay with her, and I won't disturb her."

The imperial concubine patiently explained to her son: "But Aunt Ukuma is sick now and needs to rest. A little sound will wake her up. You will inevitably disturb her when you walk in. When she gets better, Er Niang will take you in to visit her again." ,OK?"

The little guy has always been able to listen to persuasion, since Er Niang said so, he agreed: "Then can I stay in the Compassionate Ning Palace today?"

"No, there's no place for you to sleep here."

Yinyou said: "I don't sleep... Or, I just lie on the table and sleep for a while."

The imperial concubine didn't speak, obviously she didn't agree to her son's request.

The little guy bit his lower lip and lowered his head: "I just want to get closer to Mama Ukuma, what if she misses me after waking up?"

When Kangxi returned to the house, he heard his son's words and didn't say anything.He grew up here and was closest to the Empress Dowager.At this time, where can I let him go?

"Just let him stay."

The Compassionate Ning Palace is very lively tonight, the two princes, the princes, and the concubines and princesses are all here.Kangxi didn't let any of them in, and sent them all back.

Liang Jiugong is an old man beside Kangxi, and his words carry some weight.Only then did he boldly step forward and ask, "Your Majesty, do you want to pass on the meal?"

In fact, the time for dinner had already passed, but at that time the warm pavilion was busy, and Kangxi didn't have the heart to eat, so he didn't let them pass the meal.

Now he was still not in the mood to eat, and when he was about to refuse, Liang Jiugong had the courage to look at the imperial concubine and the seventh elder brother, and said softly: "Your majesty, use some."

Kangxi followed his gaze, and if he didn't eat it himself, the mother and son would too.Then he nodded and asked someone to send the food to the second room on the other side.

The Empress Dowager slept groggyly all night, while Kangxi, Concubine Huang Guifei and Yinyou stayed outside all night.

After all, Yinyou is a child, and his biological clock is very punctual. After eight o'clock on the western clock, he will go to bed.

Kangxi and the imperial concubine were talking about the situation of the empress dowager, the little guy ran to the study by himself, fell asleep lying on the table.

The imperial concubine felt sorry for her son, so she took him to the Bisha cabinet.Yinyou was too familiar with that bed, and the little guy who hadn't slept very well at first fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow.

Kangxi sat beside the empress dowager's bed for a while, then came in to see his son, touched his little face with the back of his hand, and said softly, "I just know how to make trouble."

The Empress Dowager woke up again in the early morning of the second day. The old lady didn't open her eyes, and her consciousness was still a little fuzzy. The first name she opened her mouth was not Xuanye, nor Xiaoqi. He called Fulin.

Even though she was lying on the sickbed, the old lady still cared deeply about her only son, Fulin.

Although, her son regards her as a vicious and cruel enemy who has no family.

Kangxi listened to it with mixed feelings, and wished he could immediately issue an order to send people to Wutai Mountain to escort that "travel crazy" old monk to the capital.

Yinyou didn't care who Ukuma was calling, he just lay quietly beside the bed.The imperial concubine went to pull him, but he didn't leave, and said in a very soft voice: "I'm right here, so that Mama Ukuma can see me when she opens her eyes."

Sure enough, not long after, the Empress Dowager will be fine.Once an elderly person gets sick, his whole energy is gone, and he looks old and haggard.

Sure enough, she saw Yinyou at the first sight, and then tried her best to smile and opened her mouth, as if calling "Xiao Qi", but even Kangxi who was the closest couldn't hear whether she made a sound or not.

At this time, the maid brought the medicine bowl.Yinyou stepped aside obediently.The imperial concubine and Biyun helped the empress dowager up a bit, and put soft pillows on the back.Kangxi took the pills and personally served the Empress Dowager to take the medicine.

After a few days like this, the weather became colder and colder, and the Empress Dowager's health did not improve much, and the situation repeated again and again.

Yinyou has been with Ama Erniang, by Mama Ukuma's side, refusing to leave even a single step.

He always said: "Mama Ukuma loves me the most. I want her to see me every time she wakes up. In this way, she will be reluctant to leave me."

In front of the Empress Dowager, he never cried once, and every time the Empress Dowager drank porridge or took medicine, he would obediently stand by and wait.

When the Empress Dowager was awake, she was talking softly beside her.The Empress Dowager fell asleep, so she took it quietly.

"Mama Ukuma, get well soon, I haven't practiced swords or read books for several days."

"Grandma Ukuma, I haven't paid my respects to the Buddha today. May I recite Buddhist scriptures for you?"

"Mama Ukuma, let me tell you secretly that Ama yelled at me very fiercely that day. I decided not to talk to him these days. When you recover from your illness, you must reprimand him well, and I will forgive him."

"..."

Kangxi sat on the kang under the window for a nap, and when he woke up, he heard his son's last words.With question marks all over his head, he recalled when he had yelled at him.

The point is, why does he still hold grudges?

According to the judgment of the imperial concubine, the empress dowager is likely to have left heart failure caused by high blood pressure.The symptoms seem a bit serious, even if it can be corrected, the prognosis is not very good.

But she has no experience in treating this type of disease with pure Chinese medicine, and she doesn't know the treatment effect, so she dare not make a judgment lightly.

Winter is a period of high incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and elderly people will fall ill if they don't pay attention.

It had been several days, and Kangxi felt more and more tormented when he saw that the Empress Dowager's illness was not getting better.

In his thirties, an upright and mature emperor, he couldn't bear the possibility of his grandmother leaving at any time.

Pointing to his forehead, he discussed with the imperial concubine: "I plan to go to the Temple of Heaven to pray for the emperor's grandmother tomorrow, and my cousin will serve in front of the emperor's grandmother instead of me."

The imperial concubine believes that it is better to stay with the empress dowager to get rid of these feudal superstitions.

At this time, the three people that the old lady cared about the most, besides the first emperor, were Kangxi and Yinyou.As long as the two of them stay with the Empress Dowager, the ancestor will be in a good mood, and maybe his illness will get better day by day.

Then, she heard Kangxi say again: "I would rather reduce my lifespan and increase the lifespan of the Empress Dowager by several years."

Tears were shining in the emperor's eyes, and he was genuinely worried about the condition of the empress dowager, but there was nothing he could do.No matter what the method is, as long as the empress dowager recovers, he will do everything.

"And mine!"

At this moment, Yinyou ran out from the warm pavilion, and happened to overhear the conversation between Ama and Erniang: "As long as Madam Ukuma gets better, I'm willing to do anything."

Kangxi raised his eyelids to look at his son, and the little guy immediately hid beside his mother, as if he was very afraid of him.

Kangxi asked: "Then Xiaoqi will go to the Temple of Heaven with Ama tomorrow?"

I thought the little guy would keep his promise in front of the Empress Dowager and ignore him, Ama.

Unexpectedly, Yinyou said without thinking: "Go!"

That night, Yinyou dreamed of that fairy again.Mr. Huode Xing said: "Oh, the Empress Dowager is already at the end of her life, even if Ziwei Xing is willing to trade her life for her, it will not help."

"Nonsense!" This fairy is unreliable, and now Yinyou can't believe what he said, "My mother Ukuma is usually in good health, she is just sick, and she will get better soon."

Huode Xingjun said: "She can't let you go, and she is worried that if she leaves, no one will be able to protect you in the future."

"My mother-in-law is very concerned about Ukumama's body every day. She takes good care of her. She will be fine."

I don't know why, but Yinyou insisted that Mama Ukuma was just sick and would never leave!

Huode Xingjun looked at him and smiled: "Why don't you think about it, it's because of you, the fairy, who stays with her all the year round, making her more blessed and longer."

Yinyou loves to hear these words: "From then on, I will be with her every day."

The time has entered the twelfth lunar month, and it will be Laba soon, which is also Yinyou's birthday.But the Empress Dowager was still ill, no one mentioned it, and Yinyou himself didn't mention it, so everyone passed by.

However, the imperial concubine heard the little guy say to the empress dowager in front of the bed: "Mama Ukuma, I am seven years old today. Every year on my birthday, you ask the small kitchen to make me a bowl of longevity noodles."

Then, she heard the Empress Dowager shout as usual: "Su Mo'er."

Aunt Su Ma, who was waiting at the side, immediately stepped forward, bent down to listen to the master's instructions.

The Empress Dowager said: "Go, let the kitchen cook a bowl of longevity noodles."

Yinyou was very happy, with bright eyes, lying on the side of the bed and asked: "Mama Ukuma, will you eat with me?"

"Mama Ukuma watched you eat."

"it is good!"

When the noodles were served, Yinyou sat beside him and ate them.He always eats with an appetite.The Empress Dowager looked at it for a while, then said with a smile, "I'm a little hungry."

As soon as she said this, the imperial concubine quickly asked someone to bring a bowl of porridge, and fed it to her spoonful by spoonful.Seeing her eating half a bowl intermittently, Kangxi watched from the sidelines, not saying anything, not to mention how happy she was.

The imperial concubine usually pays attention to her diet and physical condition, and it stands to reason that the empress dowager is in good health.Although the illness was sudden and critical, it did not develop in a worse direction, so far the situation is not too bad.

I don't know whether it was Kangxi's blessings at the Temple of Heaven that really moved God, or the medicine of the imperial physician, or the proper care of the imperial concubine.In short, after more than half a month, the Empress Dowager's condition gradually stabilized.

Although he still can't get out of bed and walk around, he can still sit up with the pillow, eat, take medicine, chat with Yinyou, and teach him to recite Buddhist scriptures for himself.

Seeing that the imperial grandmother's condition was getting better day by day, Kangxi finally let go of his hanging heart.

On this happy day, apart from going to the Temple of Heaven to pray for blessings, he stayed in front of the Empress Dowager's bed all day and all night, never leaving a single step.The whole person lost a lot of weight.

Looking back at the imperial concubine, she was not much better than him.No makeup was applied on the face, the eyes were dark and dark, and the whole person looked tired and haggard.

Kangxi stretched out his hand, intending to hold his cousin's hand, but he stretched out halfway, and a maid came out of the room, bent her knees and said, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager invites you in."

He quickly turned around and entered the Nuan Pavilion.

Kangxi was sitting by the bed, the Empress Dowager raised his hand, and he quickly stretched out his hand for the imperial grandmother to hold.

"You have guarded me for so long, I have seen it all, and you are all filial children."

Kangxi said: "This is what it should be."

The Empress Dowager patted the back of his hand: "Yes, you are all good boys. You and the imperial concubine should go back tonight and have a good rest."

"Don't worry about us. Get well soon, so we can feel at ease."

The empress dowager sighed: "The imperial concubine is a good woman, with so many concubines in the harem, no one can do what she does."

Kangxi nodded: "Yes, grandson knows."

"The last time the sixth child was ill, she was the one who took care of her wholeheartedly in front of the bed. Before, Concubine De made such a mess because of the matter of the fourth child, and she didn't care about it."

Kangxi said: "Cousin never cares about these things."

"It's been so many years, and you've always refused to become a queen. Although there are so many women in the harem, the middle palace can't always be empty. You should think about it."

After not talking for a while, the Empress Dowager was not recovering from her serious illness, and she was a little tired.Kangxi helped her to lie down and rest.

The Empress Dowager has always liked Yinyou, and naturally she also likes the imperial concubine, and she always takes her with her wherever she goes.

The emperor's grandmother said everything so clearly, how could Kangxi not understand what she meant.

However, these days, the Empress Dowager's illness has really tormented him a lot.A lot of things are piled up in the court, and I haven't had time to ask them.Every day when the emperor came to report to him, he didn't care about politics, and he sent the prince to discuss with the cabinet.

Now that the empress dowager's illness is better, he still has no time to rest besides the affairs of the previous dynasty, let alone the empress dowager.

However, since the Empress Dowager also dragged him to bring up this matter when she was sick, it meant that the old lady attached great importance to this matter in her heart, and if he didn't put this matter on the agenda, it might be difficult for him to make a deal.

Although the prince is still underage, he is prudent and considerate.The emperor's father asked him to go to the cabinet to assist in handling the memorial, and he did it dutifully.Don't you forget? Make a record every day, and tell the emperor one by one when you come to the Palace of Compassion and Peace.

Even though Kangxi was preoccupied with the Empress Dowager's condition, he was quite satisfied to hear the prince talking about the government and the cabinet's review every day, as well as his own views.

He has carefully cultivated his successors for so many years, and he did not disappoint him.

The most important thing for the former dynasty now is to negotiate with Tsarist Russia on the border issue next year. Both Mingzhu and Suo'etu want to take this negotiation as their own achievement, and they will fight hard without giving an inch.

Ever since the incident with Tang Bin last time, Kangxi had been critical of Mingzhu, and his trust in him had begun to be compromised over the years. He had long been inclined towards the candidate in his heart, but he remained calm in front of the crown prince.

He wanted to see how the crown prince would decide on this matter.

This posed a problem for the prince, after all, Suo'etu was his third uncle, his only foreign relative in the court, and he certainly hoped that Suo'etu could be reused by the emperor.

Moreover, the crown prince could also hear from Kangxi's words that the emperor's father was secretly dissatisfied with Mingzhu.

The most ideal way to deal with it is naturally to avoid this matter, not to bring it up, not to give any suggestions, and let the emperor make his own decision.

Firstly, it can avoid suspicion, and secondly, Suo'etu has a great chance of winning in this matter, and he doesn't need to let the emperor think that he is a prince who is acting for his own benefit.

Of course, this was also Suoetu's suggestion to him.

However, the prince always hesitated in his heart. He always felt that this way of handling things was inappropriate and inconsistent with his usual principles of handling things.

But I have to say that Suo'etu's suggestion is indeed the most appropriate.

On this day, the prince came to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager.Kangxi was sitting on one side chatting with the Empress Dowager, and Yinyou was sitting on the other side.

A court lady brought a plate of oranges, and Yinyou suddenly remembered that he still had an orange tree planted in the glass house in Changchun Garden. In such a cold day, I don't know if the orange tree froze to death.

Kangxi took an orange casually, peeled it and divided it into two halves, gave one to the Empress Dowager, and handed the other half to Yinyou.

But the little guy didn't answer, and said confidently: "I told Mama Ukuma not to talk to Ama."

With the protection of the Empress Dowager, he used to sue, Kangxi didn't dare to do anything with him, so he could only stare at him: "Did I offend you?"

The crown prince was watching the fun, there were so many brothers and sisters in the palace, and the only one who dared to reject the emperor's father and talk to the emperor like this was this little boy in front of him.

During her illness, although the Empress Dowager did not have the energy to open her eyes to speak, she was still conscious most of the time. She heard and remembered what Yinyou said to her at the bedside.

Yinyou pouted: "You are killing me."

"When did I kill you?"

The little guy glanced at Mama Ukuma: "On that day, come out of the South Study Room."

Only then did Kangxi remember that when he heard the Empress Dowager fainted suddenly, he was very anxious, for fear that something might happen to his ancestors.

Looking back, I saw the little guy crying again, and my heart was even more flustered, so I scolded him and told him not to cry.

Didn't expect him to really hold grudges until now?

But it's not easy to tell the matter in front of the Empress Dowager, the son complained, and the emperor can only eat Coptis chinensis dumb.

So, the half of the orange was handed to the table.The prince had no choice but to accept the reward from the emperor's father.

Turning his head, he found a pair of eyes staring at him... the orange in his hand.

Some small dumplings obviously want to eat, but they still don't forget to get awkward with Ama.

Seeing the emperor deflated in front of his son, the empress dowager was delighted, and the situation improved a lot.

"That's right, he's still so young. If you have anything to say, just talk about it. Why are you always blaming him?"

Kangxi defended himself: "Not always."

"That can't kill him for no reason."

"Yes!" The emperor glanced at his youngest son again, thinking that next time he would directly beat him up.

His son didn't have time to look at him at this moment, the little guy was leaning in front of the prince, who divided the oranges one by one, cleaned the top of the orange, and then sent it to his brother's mouth.

"..."

Whoa!To eat an orange, the crown prince has to feed him himself!

The old father couldn't understand these arrogant habits, but there was nothing he could do.I can only stand up: "Let Xiaoqi stay here with the emperor's grandmother. I still have some government affairs to discuss with the crown prince. Let's go to the outhouse first."

The Empress Dowager waved her hand: "Go."

Although the prince didn't take the initiative to mention it, Kangxi took the initiative to ask about it today.

"You also know that both Mingzhu and Suo'etu want to be the negotiators to negotiate with Tsarist Russia." Kangxi glanced at the prince, "tell me your opinion."

For some reason, the scene where Yinyou refused the emperor's father to give him oranges suddenly appeared in the crown prince's mind.

Xiaotuanzi can always do some unexpected things. He is not a rebellious child. On the contrary, he is very considerate of others, and he can always say some heart-warming words to please others.

But his flattery is always from the heart, not for certain interests.No one in the entire Forbidden City can do this.

The prince suddenly seemed to have received some kind of inspiration, so he stood in front of the emperor generously, bowed and cupped his fists: "My minister believes that it is more appropriate for Suo'etu to negotiate with Tsarist Russia this time."

Kangxi was taken aback for a moment, he did not expect him to be so calm when he recommended Suo'etu: "Tell me your reasons."

The prince said: "My minister remembers that this time was discussed at the last cabinet meeting. Suo'etu's point of view is that Tsarist Russia occupied Nerchinsk. This is the nomadic place of my Maoming Anbu, and Yakesa is my Dahuer manager. The old ruins of Le'er were not originally owned by Luocha, nor was it the land between the two worlds."

"Nerchinsk, Yaksa, Heilongjiang and the upper and lower rivers, and the rivers and streams that pass through them all belong to our land, and should not be abandoned to Tsarist Russia."

Hearing this, Kangxi also thinks this is very important, and he also approves of the policy of not giving up an inch of territory in the country.

The prince also said: "Suo'etu also mentioned that if Tsarist Russia can return the fugitives and recognize Nerchinsk, Yaksa, and Heilongjiang as the territory of the Qing Dynasty, they will draw borders with them and trade with them. Otherwise, he will return them immediately and not Discuss peace with him." 【Baidu Encyclopedia】

The prince raised his head and glanced at the emperor's father's expression.Then he continued: "I think that what Suo'etu mentioned is the attitude we should clearly inform Tsarist Russia in this negotiation. Therefore, I think that he is the best negotiator."

Kangxi nodded in satisfaction, not because he also thought Suo'etu was a good candidate.It's because the prince didn't deliberately avoid suspicion because of his relationship with Suo'etu.

Instead, he expressed his thoughts frankly and gave the most reasonable and appropriate suggestions, which were well-founded and very convincing.

In the blink of an eye, the New Year's Eve came, and the Empress Dowager's health improved a lot.However, this is also the time when the temperature in the capital is the coldest.

Because he was worried that the empress dowager would catch the cold, Kangxi did not let the ancestors attend the family banquet at Qianqing Palace, but moved the family banquet forward to the 28th of the twelfth lunar month.

On New Year's Eve, he made a special trip to order someone to hold a banquet at the Compassionate Ning Palace, and personally accompany his ancestors to celebrate the New Year.

He also invited the empress dowager, the imperial concubine and the prince to accompany the ancestors in the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and at the same time let the other elder brothers and princesses spend the New Year with their biological mother in the harem, especially the eldest elder brother, who left the palace. There is no such opportunity.

When the empress dowager came over, the fifth elder brother and the fifth princess would naturally follow.The imperial concubine also brought the fourth elder brother and seventh elder brother over.

This is the real New Year's Eve dinner, unlike the state banquet in the Hall of Supreme Harmony and the family banquet in the Palace of Qianqing, where everyone eats their own food at a table.

Everyone sat around the round table, talking and laughing, and then picked a few good singers from the troupe, and sang some festive songs for the empress dowager next to it, which was lively and lively.

Yinyou has been living in the Compassionate Ning Palace these days, and his studies and swordsmanship have been put on hold for the time being.

Kangxi asked him: "Do you still remember the articles you learned?"

His question suddenly made the atmosphere of the New Year's Eve dinner tense.

It's okay that the prince is older, the fourth elder brother and the fifth elder brother lowered their heads one after another.I wish I could comprehend the unique art of invisibility immediately, so that Khan Ama could not see them.

The imperial concubine looked at the two sons, and a smile appeared on her face unconsciously.This is to start the Spring Festival Gala mode, and the program is that the children despise each other for their talents.

Yinyou was burying his head in eating the big chicken drumstick, and only raised his head when he heard Ama's question: "I haven't studied for more than a month."

"You should remember the articles you have learned. Recite "Shangshu-Wuyi Pian" and listen to it."

"..." Yinyou put down the chicken legs, and looked back at the troupe who had stopped, "Does Ama think their singing is not good?"

Due to the limitation of the venue, just singing without acting, it is true that without the immersive experience, the perception will be much worse.

"I asked you to endorse, what do you see them doing?"

The little guy lowered his head: "I don't remember."

He has always been very smart and has a photographic memory.Kangxi asked him to endorse me on weekdays, and I don't remember this statement for the articles that I have never learned.

I don't know what's wrong today, it's been a long time and I haven't studied, or I really don't remember.

The imperial concubine glanced at her son, and suddenly remembered what she said to him a long time ago - Mu Xiuyu will be destroyed by forest wind.

At this time, the fourth elder brother stood up suddenly, and before he could speak, Kangxi told him to sit down and talk.

"Let my son carry it for Xiaoqi."

He is older, he has learned this article a long time ago, and he reads it steadily, 120 times a day, and there will be no shortage of one time. Of course, there is no problem in memorizing "Shangshu" once.

Kangxi always felt that it was a pleasure to watch Yinyou's endorsement triumphantly, and then begging for praise after reciting it.It's less fun to read other brothers' endorsements.

So, he waved his hand and looked at the fifth elder brother beside him: "Yinqi, please recite it."

Brother Fifth wished he could hide under the table. What is "Shangshu-Wuyi Pian", I seem to have learned it, but I don't seem to have learned it.Have you ever learned it?He didn't know that he could just speak a few words of Chinese now, and he could recite books anywhere.

"My son... my son..." His eyes turned to the other side, and he asked the empress dowager for help.

The empress dowager has always protected her shortcomings, and she doesn't want to see her precious grandson suffer any grievances.Just now she was talking to the Empress Dowager with her head turned sideways, now she put down her wine glass, and was about to say something to save her Xiaowu from the siege.

Unexpectedly, someone stood up on the other side.

Although the fifth elder brother couldn't remember whether he had learned "Shangshu-Wuyi Pian", Yinyou remembered that he didn't forget a single word.

Because Nalan told him about this article, he still remembered that the two of them had a discussion at that time, and the name of the Wuyizhai they studied in Changchunyuan was taken from this.

The little guy always remembers Mr. Fu's teachings, and besides, the table is full of delicious food for the New Year's Eve, he can't eat it all, so what books do he have to memorize?

However, Ama turned her head and called Fifth Brother up.Seeing Fifth Brother's distressed appearance, he had to stand up.
