[Qing Chuan] The daily life of the seven princes

For Yinyou, "teacher" and "go to school" are two new words, he has never heard of them, but his brother is going to school, and he wants to follow, so he pricked up his ears.

The princes were only sent to the study when they were six years old. The teachers Kangxi selected for them were scholars with profound knowledge and good character. The teachers of Prince Yinreng were Zhang Ying, Li Guangdi, Xiong Cilu and Tang Bin. Famous officials.

But before the prince entered school, he was kept by Kangxi's side, taught and enlightened by Kangxi himself.

Today's prince is intelligent and studious, with both civil and military skills. He is not only proficient in hundreds of classics and poems of past dynasties, but also proficient in Manchurian bow horse riding and shooting. 【Baidu Encyclopedia】

It can be seen how successful Kangxi's preschool education was.

Not only is he a successful preschool education expert, but he is also very happy to personally teach the classics to the princes, supervise and guide their studies, and check their homework almost every day.

Even the princesses who can't go to the study room will specially assign their aunt to teach them to read, read, write and paint. It can be seen that he is a father who attaches great importance to the cultural education of his children.

The imperial concubine touched the eldest son's head, smiled and looked at Kangxi: "Where is the need to find a teacher, isn't the best teacher here?"

Kangxi raised his head, and the imperial concubine was standing beside him, holding a piece of Poria cocos cake and handing it to him.

The eyes of the two met, and a strange emotion flashed in the young emperor's eyes, but the situation, a little out of place, quickly subsided.

He took a sip of the Poria cocos cake, although the sweetness was not as sweet as that of Yushanfang, but the light taste was also unique.

"The imperial concubine means that you want me to enlighten Yinzhen personally?"

The imperial concubine smiled and said nothing, thinking: The son is your own, so it is also necessary to tutor him in his studies.

The Empress Dowager also nodded at the side: "Qingyi's idea is not bad. Just look at the prince and you will know that the emperor is also a good teacher."

Perhaps it was because the imperial concubine's intentions were too obvious, when the empress dowager helped her, she silently gave her a wink.

A restless little guy next to him was also making noise: "Brother, don't be afraid, Xiaoqi is with you."

In fact, Yinzhen felt a little uneasy when he heard Ama and Erniang discussing their schooling. He had been growing up with the imperial concubine in Chengqian Palace.

My childhood memory is a little fuzzy, I only remember that I stayed with the nanny all day long, and I rarely saw Erniang, let alone Khan Ama.

However, since her younger brother was born, Eniang paid more attention to him instead.Later, the younger brother was sent to the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and Er Niang personally took care of his food and daily life, and would bring him with her every day when she came to the Palace of Compassion and Ning.

Now that Khan Ama mentioned his going to school, it meant that he couldn't stay with Erniang all the time.

Unexpectedly, my younger brother saw his anxiety, took his hand, and kept saying that he would go to school with his elder brother.

Kangxi thought for a moment, and then agreed: "After these days are over, let Xiaosi come to Qianqing Palace, and I will enlighten him personally."

It is not difficult for children to learn the enlightenment book, just teach them to recognize characters and recite some simple poems and books.

The imperial concubine pulled Yinzhen to thank her, Kangxi stretched out his hand, and was about to help her, when he stood up by himself, without looking at him again.

Kangxi withdrew his hand resentfully, looked down, there was a little guy hugging his leg, raised his face to look at him, there were still crumbs of pastry on his mouth: "Ama, Xiaoqi also has to go to school , Xiaoqi wants to be with brother."

Looking at the youngest son, Kangxi's mood changed from cloudy to sunny again. He picked him up and hugged him in his arms, took the handkerchief from the maid's hand, and wiped his little mouth: "You are still too young, Ama just wants to Letting you go to school, the ancestors would not be willing."

Although Yinyou is not yet three years old, his emotions are very delicate, and he is a child with strong empathy.

Knowing that Ama loved him, she leaned on the other's shoulder and acted like a baby: "Emiang is also reluctant to part with her brother, Ama must treat her brother well."

Looking at the little thing in his arms, listening to his soft and waxy milk voice telling him to be good to his brother, the majestic Ninth Five-Year Lord in front of all the officials of the former court, his heart is also unreasonably soft at the moment.

The Empress Dowager was talking to Yinzhen, telling how he studied hard and diligently when he was young, and only slept for two or three hours a day, before he became the wise king he is today.

Let him go to the study room, not only to be diligent and studious like Ama, but also to live in harmony with several elder brothers.

Yinzhen listened carefully and nodded in agreement.

The imperial concubine was very relieved, she knew that Yinzhen was a cautious child and would not easily quarrel with his brothers.

She just watched Yinyou rubbed her eyes several times with her hand, she looked sleepy, and wanted to bring the child over, but Ama didn't intend to let the child go at all.

The young son's even breath sprayed on the shoulders and neck, Kangxi looked down, Yinyou closed his eyes, the thick eyelashes cast a shadow on the fair little face, the corners of the mouth slightly raised, motionless.

Ama's embrace was generous and reassuring, and the little guy, who was full and full, fell asleep just snuggled up in his arms.

Tong Qingyi herself is a top student in a medical university with a bachelor's degree and a master's degree, and the education of her two children has not been left behind in her daily life.

However, most of her education focuses on inspiring thinking and exercising memory, and she seldom teaches children to read and practice calligraphy.

Let Kangxi personally enlighten Yinzhen, firstly, to make Yinzhen and Amador get closer and make the child feel more secure.

Secondly, it is indeed because Kangxi taught the prince well and can lay a good foundation for Yinzhen.

Yinyou, who was raised in the Compassionate Ning Palace, was different. He started from babbling, and his language environment was in the three languages ​​of Chinese, Manchu, and Mongolian. He was also taught by Lagu Su Ma, the first teacher of Kangxi, and his speech was often Chinese is mixed with Manchu, and occasionally there are a few Mongolian vocabulary, but it is rare to learn all three languages.

The imperial concubine still wanted to start teaching him English when he was a little older. There were many missionaries from Europe in the Qing Dynasty, and they also brought a lot of popular science books, so it was impossible to do without some language foundation.

Since that day, Yinyou has kept Yinzhen's schooling in his heart, and he has to ask Kangxi every time he sees him, more caring than Yinzhen himself.

In just a few tens of days, the Qing army broke through Penghu, and Zheng Keshuang surrendered to Shi Lang. After 22 years, the Zheng Dynasty declared its demise.

Kangxi was naturally in a good mood, remembering his previous promise to the imperial concubine, he just put Yinzhen's enlightenment on the agenda.

The imperial concubine sent her son outside Chengqian Palace, and gave a few instructions. She was not worried about his son's hard work, but cared more about his sitting posture and eyesight during his studies.

Not to mention the maids who are close to me, even the other ladies in the harem have already noticed that the master of Chengqian Palace has changed his style of painting since he gave birth.

Fortunately, the imperial concubine takes charge of Qian Palace and Compassion Palace every day, and the emperor doesn't go to her very often. Although she acts as the empress, she doesn't have a strong sense of presence.

After bidding farewell to E Niang, Yinzhen went to Qianqing Palace surrounded by everyone.

With an introverted personality, he has some separation anxiety. The night before, he asked Er Niang to accompany him to the Qianqing Palace, but was rejected by the imperial concubine.

At this time Yinzhen frowned, his preoccupied look made his personal eunuch Su Peisheng beside him also tense up.

At this moment, a figure suddenly jumped out from the side, stumbled and fell into Yinzhen's arms.

All the maids and eunuchs: "???"

Yinzhen bowed his head: "Xiao Qi?"

Yinyou raised his head and smiled at him: "I'll go to school with you."

At this time, the palace people of the Compassionate Ning Palace rushed over panting, and the leader was Li Xi and Yinyou's nanny, Grandma Sun.

Yinyou is a big kid, and when he saw the two of them dodge and hide behind Yinzhen, he tilted his head, poked his head out from behind his elder brother, and blinked his big smart eyes: "I won't go back, I will go to school with my elder brother."

Li Xi coaxed softly: "The fourth elder brother is rushing to study, so you can't keep the emperor waiting for a long time. The seventh elder brother should go back with the servant girl. The servant girl has prepared golden jujube cake and kidney bean cake."

Yinyou stuck out her little tongue and licked her lips. Just when Li Xi thought her food temptation was successful, she heard a crisp "no".

Yinyou thought for a while, and then added: "Keep Xiaoqi back to eat."

Behind them, all the maids and eunuchs of Chengqian Palace lowered their heads, holding back their laughter.

I don't know why, the moment his younger brother appeared, the anxiety in Yinzhen's heart gradually subsided, and he didn't want to be separated from Yinyou.

So, he coughed lightly, and said solemnly: "Why don't you... go back first."

Grandma Sun immediately knelt down: "I don't dare to do it, the empress dowager will be very serious if she finds out."

"When Mama Ukuma asked, she said that Xiao Qi went to Qianqing Palace with me, so Aunt Xi should come too."

After saying this, Yinzhen took Yinyou and walked away quickly. Although he was young, he was a prince after all, and he had the calmness and majesty of an emperor's family in every gesture. The servants didn't dare to say anything, so they could only let him go.

Li Xi and Nanny Sun explained a few words, and followed quickly.

In Zhaoren Hall, Kangxi was also a little surprised when he saw Yinyou. He thought he was just talking, but unexpectedly, this kid really followed.

Kangxi looked at him with a stern face: "Study is a serious matter. Children from common people's families also go to private schools to study when they are old. No one brings his younger brother with him."

The two brothers were very smart, and they recognized that Kangxi's words meant to blame Yinzhen, the elder brother.

Just as Yinzhen was about to admit his mistake, Yinyou took a step forward with his short legs and stood in front of him: "Xiaoqi will be obedient, neither noisy nor disturbing, Ahma~"

"..."

Big watery eyes, twinkling, clear and pure.

Who can stand this look, even the emperor with a heart of stone can't stand it.

Isn't it just that multiple sons go to school together, and they have to learn sooner or later, so it's better to teach together.

Anyway, he doesn't have any requirements for the little one, just like Yinyou himself said, just be obedient and don't make noise.

In the first class, Kangxi did not teach Yinzhen any substantive content. He talked about the rules, how much he attached importance to the study of the princes, and also praised the prince and his success in educating the prince. .

Unsurprisingly, some obedient, quiet children fell asleep on the table after listening to the beginning.

Yinzhen:"……"

Even the king of a country who controls the entire huge empire has nothing to do when looking at his sleeping young son.

I can only call Liang Jiugong, and take Seventh Brother to Zhaoren Hall to sleep, and cover it, so as not to catch a cold.

Yinyou didn't know how long he slept, but when he woke up, he was sleeping alone on the big dragon bed.

The palace was very quiet. He called Aunt Xi twice, but did not get a response from Li Xi.

He climbed off the bed on all fours and ran around the palace barefoot, looking at the swinging Western clock on the table for a while, and at the ambergris rising from the censer for a while.

Finally, he was attracted by a sword hanging on the wall.

This sword is very beautiful, Yinyou wanted to touch it very much, so he ran to move a stool by the table.

A young eunuch in Qianqing Palace was sent by Liang Jiugong to watch Brother Qi sleep, which was originally a leisurely job.

Someone came to call him on the way, so he went outside the hall to deal with some chores. In less than half a cup of tea, when he returned to Zhaoren Hall, he was scared out of his wits by the sight in front of him.

I saw that Brother Qi fell on the ground unconscious, with a sword and scabbard scattered beside him, and a stool that fell on the ground.

The little eunuch was so frightened that his legs went limp, and he knelt down on the ground.

At this time, the maids and eunuchs who were serving outside heard the movement rushing in one after another, and all of them knelt together with cold hands and feet.

The prince has a lot of problems in the emperor's bedroom. There are dozens of people inside and outside, and none of them can live.

Only Li Xi was still calm, rushed over to pick up the child, checked briefly, found no trauma, touched the child's forehead, it was hot - it was sick again.
