When Yinyou came back with the new toy, he didn't even notice the anger hidden in his mother's eyes. The little guy triumphantly placed the wooden box on the table. After being bored for several days, he finally had something to play with again.
When the old mother heard that her son wanted to learn how to read, she almost burst into tears with excitement. The son has been brought up to such an age, and he takes the initiative to eat, toy, and hang out. This is the first time he takes the initiative to learn.
She really thought about what she needs to prepare for recognizing characters, whether to start with Hanyu Pinyin, or start with characters with simple strokes, how to improve his interest in learning, and whether there are too many strokes in traditional characters, will it be difficult to learn at the beginning? , making him shrink back...
As a result, Hanyu Pinyin, simplified characters, and traditional characters... are not needed at all. Her son is so weak-willed that as long as he hears the words "new toys", his soul has already been hooked away.
The imperial concubine stood aside, watching her son excitedly open the wooden box, and screamed in surprise when he saw the toys inside.
The old mother was even more angry, her teeth itching with hatred, she picked up the copybook in her hand, and slapped him on the back twice: "Toy, toy, I think you look like a toy."
Where was she willing to hit it, those two slaps were like tickling, the little guy sat motionless at the table, still studying the toy carefully.
The Empress Dowager also smiled and comforted her: "Xiao Qi is only three and a half years old, and he is still two years away from the age stipulated by the emperor. If he doesn't want to learn, he can wait."
Aunt Su Ma smiled and said: "The old ancestor is partial to the seventh elder brother."
The Empress Dowager was not happy: "Tell me, why am I biased?"
"Back then, the emperor avoided acne outside the palace until he returned to the palace at the age of eight. You ordered your servants to ride horses from the Cining Palace to the mansion outside the Xihua Gate every day to enlighten the emperor."
"That's right, the emperor is now able to write beautiful Manchu, all thanks to you."
The two old sisters were reminiscing about the past, and the imperial concubine forgot to discipline her son, so she quickly asked them to sit down and chat slowly, and let the maid serve tea.
The so-called "relying on education and teaching national books", Kangxi lived outside the palace when he was a child, and he was only taken care of by two wet nurses, one of whom was Cao Yin's aunt Sun.
The life outside the palace was lonely and desolate. Even Kangxi himself said, "Parents have never been happy for a day." At that time, the only person he could see from the palace was the maid next to his grandmother. There was no blood relationship between them. , but has a stronger kinship than blood. Aunt Su Ma is his teacher, and she exists like a mother.
The Empress Dowager patted the back of Aunt Su Ma's hand with a smile: "I remember that when Xuan Ye returned to the palace, he still called you Er Niang."
Yinyou can now speak Manchu, Mongolian and Chinese, but neither knows nor writes.
Although La Aunt Su Ma is nearly [-] years old now, her body is strong and her spirit is hale and hearty.The Empress Dowager originally wanted her to teach Yinyou to learn Manchu, but the little guy had no intention of learning, and wanted to play all day long.
Yinyou played with the toys while listening to their chat.
Ama lived outside the palace for a long time, and Aunt Su Ma enlightened him every day, writing a beautiful Manchu poem... Yinyou didn't remember all these, he only remembered two words.
"Mother Su, Mother Su!" Yin Youkao went over and pulled Aunt Lasumala's sleeve, "Xiao Qi wants to ride a horse too."
Aunt Su Ma patted his head: "When you grow up, the emperor will naturally arrange for a master to teach you riding and archery."
Alas, I have to wait until I grow up again, the little guy sits back on his stool shaking his head, let's take a look at the new toy first.
The crown prince asked the manufacturing office to develop it by himself based on the gadgets brought by the missionaries.
On the top of the toy is a boy with a thick head and a thick head wearing a bellyband, holding a feather fan in his hand. Below is a wooden box with a clockwork on the back. When the spring is twisted, the boy will keep fanning the fan up and down.
Although it's just a toy, the boy's size is limited, and the wind from the fan can't untie it, but the toy is very delicately made, and it's a rare thing to look at. Even the Empress Dowager finds it interesting, and Yinyou can't put it down, it's fresh for several days.
In the beginning, he just played the regular game, winding up the clockwork, watching the little boy fanning himself one after another, leaning his little face from time to time, and the soft feathers swept across his pink and tender cheeks, making him giggle .
Within a few days, the imperial concubine noticed that he was no longer interested in this mechanical fanning.
So, he ran to the yard to pick up many fallen leaves, and when he came back, he dressed up the fairy boy. First, he took a larger leaf to make a hat for the fairy boy, and carefully dug two holes to expose his braid. Come.
Later, I wrapped a hula skirt under his bellyband and wound it up. When the little boy fanned the fan again, his body swayed slightly mechanically following the rhythm, just like an Indian dancing a hula dance.
Imperial Concubine: "..."
My son is really a clever little ghost. One toy can also develop multiple ways of playing. She doesn’t know if he can learn both Chinese and Western in the future, but he will definitely be able to play and eat both Chinese and Western.
A good mechanical toy was played as a dress-up game, Yinyou was really fresh for two days, and even took the rouge from his mother-in-law's dressing table, and almost turned the beaming little fairy boy into a murder victim.
Fortunately, the imperial concubine arrived in time and stopped him: "Er Niang thinks this is not good."
Yinyou was puzzled: "What's wrong."
"You should treat the toy that the prince gave you kindly, otherwise, the prince will be sad when he knows that you don't cherish the gift he gave you."
Yinyou gently hugged the toy in his arms: "I cherish it very much, and I am reluctant to give it to others."
"Then have fun and don't destroy it."
Yinyou remembered it in his brain, but not in his hands. He thought that not to cause damage meant not to smear rouge on Xiantong's body, but the next day he found something more interesting than a dress-up game.
He actually had nothing to do and dismantled the wooden box at the bottom of the toy, revealing the mechanical device inside, and then he lay down on the table to observe carefully. When the clockwork was screwed to the fullest state, the metal sheet inside would be tightly rolled. Together, let loose little by little.
But the box is too small, the inside is dark, and some parts are covered, so you can't see it at all.
Yinyou vaguely felt that the following metal parts were the key to the movement of the feather fan in the little boy's hand, but he didn't understand how it moved, and he was full of curiosity and exploration spirit, so he had to figure it out .
So I just did it, three times and two times, and within a short time, I dismantled the most core mechanical device at the bottom of the whole toy.
At this time, the imperial concubine was chatting with the empress dowager. The empress dowager talked about her life on the grassland when she was young. As she talked, she began to miss the delicious food in her hometown and wanted to drink a bowl of Mongolian milk tea.
None of the royal chefs in the palace could make the taste she remembered, only Lagu Su Ma could make it. The imperial concubine followed suit a few times and probably mastered the basic method.
On such a hot day, La Aunt Su Ma was also getting old, so she volunteered to try: "If you can't make the taste you remember, please forgive me."
The Empress Dowager took her hand: "You are a good and filial child, I like whatever you do."
As soon as she turned around, she found Yinyou sitting on the other side with his back to everyone. He was lowering his head, surrounded by a pile of large and small metal parts.The little fairy boy was put aside together with the wooden box at the bottom.
"!!!"
At that moment, the imperial concubine felt that her blood was rushing to her head, and the old mother's blood pressure was already full.
The child is quiet, he must be acting as a demon.This is indeed true in any era.
She walked over, tried to suppress her anger, and tried to reason with her son: "Xiao Qi, didn't we agree? The toys given by the prince's brother should be played well and not damaged."
Yinyou raised his head, avenging himself righteously: "I didn't cause damage, you see, the little boy is standing there properly."
"But the second half is about to be dismantled by you." The imperial concubine twitched the corners of her mouth, so angry that she didn't know what to say.
Yinyou pouted: "But, Erniang didn't say that the bottom cannot be removed, I just want to see, how does it fan?"
"Do you understand then?"
Yinyou shook his head: "No."
The imperial concubine tugged at her sleeves, Yinyou thought she was about to be beaten, so she quickly turned over, her black and round eyes rolling around: "I... I, I, I will put it back."
The imperial concubine smiled: "Can you put it back?"
Yinyou patted his chest and promised: "I can!"
The imperial concubine nodded: "Okay, just pretend, I'll see if you put it back later."
As soon as she left, Yinyou shouted from behind: "Aunt Xi, Aunt Xi, did you bring that western toy, the one that can dance on the stool."
"Bring it."
He has been tired of playing with this toy for a long time, and he hasn't asked for it for a long time, but it was a gift from the prince, and he clamored to wear it when he came. Before Yinqi and Baotai asked him for it, he didn't give it to him.
Li Xi dug it out for him from the bottom of the box: "Why do you think of wanting this again?"
Yinyou took it over and wanted to dismantle it without further ado, Li Xi hurriedly stopped him: "What is this for, that one hasn't been put back yet, let the imperial concubine know later, you are really going to be beaten."
Yinyou told her in a low voice: "I can't pretend to go back! The prince brother said that it was made according to this, so I will open it and have a look..."
Since that was made by imitating this, it seems to be the same reason to put that back according to this.
On the other side, the Empress Dowager also noticed the pile of messy things in front of him, she closed her eyes and said slowly: "If he likes it, let him take it apart, if he can't put it back, let the manufacturing office send someone over to teach him how to put it back together." .”
After all, it’s just a toy. It’s rare for a child to have this research spirit. Isn’t he like this when Ama was a child?I want to learn everything and study everything, from Manchus to Hans to Westerners... I don’t know how many masters I hired for myself.
So, when the imperial concubine came back after making milk tea, what she saw was not the toy that had been put back together, but two toys that had been taken apart.
Yinyou also carefully placed the two piles of parts in different positions, for fear that if they got mixed up, they would never be able to put them back together.
Imperial Concubine: "..."
Yinyou: "..."
The mother and son stared wide-eyed, and the atmosphere was tense.The Empress Dowager smelled the Mongolian milk tea just out of the pot, and pulled Aunt Su Ma to watch the fun.
The imperial concubine would not beat a child in front of her ancestors, but that doesn't mean she wasn't angry.
The item was given by the crown prince, and Xiao Qi cherished it very much before, but no one would give it to him.It's good now, all of them are broken into pieces and dismantled into two piles of scrap iron.
"Have you ever thought about the feelings of the prince's brother?"
Yinyou: "..."
When I disassembled it, I only focused on figuring out why the fan moved, without thinking too much, and I was confident that I could put it back together, who would have thought...
Yinyou walked over and tugged on La Eniang's sleeve: "Give me a little more time, and I will put them all back."
With a confident expression in his grievances, he almost killed his old mother, thinking: "How can it be so easy, even if I give you a little more time, you may not be able to go back, my silly son."
But it didn't show on his face, he still looked at him seriously: "What if you can't pretend?"
Yinyou bit his lower lip, remembering that Ukuma had mentioned the Manufacturing Office just now, and wanted to ask them for help.
Rolling his eyes, he felt something was wrong again.
I have so many toys, I like to play with them for a while, and when I get tired of playing with them, I will put them aside for a long time without turning them out to have a look.
The brothers came to him to play and fell in love with his toys. As long as it wasn't the one he liked or the prince's brother gave him, he would generously share it with his brothers, and Er Niang never said anything.
He remembered again that Er Niang had said before that if the prince's brother knew that he didn't cherish the toys he gave him, he would be very sad.
Feelings of guilt suddenly rushed into Yinyou's heart, he just wanted to see why the fan in Xiao Xiantong's hand moved and how it worked inside, but he didn't want to make the prince brother feel sad.
Yinyou thought for a while, and solemnly assured Erniang: "I will work very hard to put them back, if not, I will apologize to the prince brother."
The son is sensible and cute, the imperial concubine squatted down and hugged him: "Then mother will help you put it back together, okay?"
"it is good!"
As soon as Yinyou said "good", he was caught off guard and slapped on the buttocks. After the slap was over, someone kissed his little cheek again: "You..."
At this time, the eunuch announced in the courtyard: "The emperor is here!"
It was probably because the yard was too small, and as soon as his voice fell, Kangxi opened the curtain and walked in stridingly.
Seeing Ama, Yinyou immediately ran over to hug his leg, and shouted anxiously: "Ama, Ama!"
Kangxi lowered his head and frowned at him: "When you see Ama, what should you do first?"
Yinyou stepped back half a step: "My son, please greet Ama!"
Everyone in the room also paid respects to the emperor.
"rise……"
Before Kangxi could say the last two words, the youngest son turned into a sticky brown candy again, and came over to stick to him tightly: "Ama, what if someone beats your son?"
Kangxi raised his head and looked right at the imperial concubine. The two exchanged silently. He patted his son's head and said with a smile, "Then I will beat her son."
Yinyou let go of Ama's leg, took two steps back, and walked away quickly: "Oh, it's all right."
Kangxi stopped him with a smile: "What's wrong?"
Yinyou thought: "Ama is too bad." But he said, "I don't want my brother to be beaten too."
The emperor didn't even keep up with his thoughts for a moment: "Who said you are going to beat your brother?"
Yinyou tilted his head: "But, my mother only has two sons."
"Alas..." The imperial concubine sighed silently at the side, "It's just me, a silly son, no wonder the toys can't be put back together after being dismantled."
Yinyou returned to the table where he was playing just now, and was worried about the pile of parts.
Kangxi went to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager, and then sat at the table and asked about the aroma of milk tea coming towards him: "If you smell this smell, you will know that Madam Su cooked it herself."
Aunt Su Ma smiled and said: "Then the emperor guessed wrong, it was cooked by the imperial concubine."
"Oh," Kangxi was a little surprised, "Then I have to try it, whether it's authentic or not."
Hearing what Grandma said, Yinyou's ears moved, and then again... Every time Ahma came, she would either eat food or snacks, and today she even wanted to eat the milk tea made by my mother.
He put down the things in his hand, and ran to the table slowly: "Xiao Qi also wants to try it, authentic or not."
His tone was so learned that he made everyone present laugh, especially the Empress Dowager.This day and night, how can we leave this little guy.
Kangxi waved his folding fan and asked him: "Do you know what authentic Mongolian milk tea is? You have never been to the Mongolian grasslands."
"Although I have never been there," Yinyou patted his chest proudly, "but I, Ukumama, am a Mongolian, and I was raised by her."
Kangxi pinched his chin: "This mouth, why is it sweeter than milk tea?"
As soon as the milk tea was served, Yinyou couldn't wait to bring the bowl to his mouth, and poured it all down: "It's so fragrant!"
Watching him eat is a very appetizing thing, Kangxi also took a sip with the bowl.
Yinyou looked at him expectantly, and asked, "Is it authentic?"
The emperor asked instead: "So what if it's authentic, so what if it's not authentic?"
"Authentic means that my mother-in-law is good at craftsmanship." Yinyou looked at his bowl, "if it is not authentic, give me a drink."
"You are..." The folding fan fell, and it happened to hit the little guy on the forehead, "It's a beautiful idea!"
After drinking the milk tea, Yinyou continued to study his toys contentedly, when suddenly a voice came from behind: "This piece should be put here, left and right, it's stuck, right!"
I don't know when, someone stood behind him, watched him fiddle with it for a long time, kept trying, and finally couldn't help but give instructions.
It was a toy after all, and the mechanical device was not complicated.Yinyou couldn't pretend to go back because he was too young. It was his first attempt and he didn't understand the mechanical structure.
Now with some pointers from the side, he put the first one back in no time.
Yinyou turned around, raised his fist and cheered, "Ama is amazing!"
The emperor casually chuckled: "I have already dismantled many of these things."
Behind the two of them, the Empress Dowager and the Imperial Concubine looked at each other. It turned out that the habit of dismantling things is hereditary.
Kangxi raised the folding fan in his hand and clicked another pile of parts: "You put that back yourself."
Whether he plays with building blocks or Kong Mingsuo, Yinyou is a good player. He belongs to the type who can learn quickly after thinking about it for a while. He has a good memory and strong hands-on ability.
The other one is similar to this principle, and Yinyou quickly installed half of it, but there is still a slight difference in the middle.
The old father stood behind and watched, and when he couldn't figure it out, he asked himself for help. How could he know how to draw inferences from one example at a young age, and the parts are all the same. in the box.
Because the child's hands are very small, he can connect the last iron wire without any tools, and then screw on the law bar, and the little figure on it starts dancing on the stool again.
The emperor kept his expression on the surface, but he praised Yinyou in his heart: "As expected of my son."
He also took the time to come over today, and he has other schedules in a while.
Before leaving, he suddenly asked his son: "I'm going to take the boss and the prince out tomorrow, do you want Xiao Qi to go together?"
When he heard that he was going out, Yinyou's eyes lit up: "I want to think about it! Ama, Xiaoqi wants to go!"
"Without you."
After finishing speaking, Kangxi took his head and left without looking back.
Yinyou: "..."
If you don't take it, you don't take it, Yinyou knows, anyway, he didn't plan to bring him with him from the beginning, but he just said that.
After entering the dog days, the temperature is getting higher and higher, and the hot weather makes Yinyou stay in the house for several days, watching the tadpoles in the pond grow back legs and almost turn into frogs, accompanied by the sound of frogs and insects at night I fell asleep and was woken up by the cicada on the tree in the morning.
On this day, it finally rained the night before, and it didn't stop until dawn. The scorching sun was covered by thick clouds, and the rare cloudy sky brought a bit of coolness.
The imperial concubine knew that the child was suffocated, and she shouted to go out to play every day. It happened that it was cool today, so she took fresh lotus flowers and made him some sober and refreshing lotus cakes, and asked him to take them to his brothers to play.
Yinyou went to find Yinhu first, thinking that he was going to take his eighth brother out to play, and he had to pass the test of Concubine Hui.
I didn't expect it to be so easy today, I just asked the nanny next to Concubine Hui to pass a message, and the other party agreed.
After going out, Yinyou took his younger brother's hand and walked forward bouncingly: "Ms. Hui is really easy to talk to now. I have already thought about how to praise her when I go in. I didn't expect that she agreed directly." .”
Yinhu pulled his finger and said, "A few days ago, Khan Ama came here."
Only then did Yinyou learn from Yinhu that the sudden change in Concubine Hui's attitude was due to Kangxi's sudden visit.
He first praised the elder brother well, he is both civil and military, and many officials are full of praise for him.
Then, he mentioned Yinhu again, saying that the child was so smart and sensible when he was young, and he must be as good as his elder brothers when he grows up. In the end, he did not forget to affirm Concubine Hui's contribution and praised her for taking good care of the children. Very good, I also rewarded some melon and fruit cloth.
Concubine Hui was already very excited by the emperor's sudden visit, and adding a few words of praise, especially the part that exaggerated her elder brother, made her feel elated as a mother, and her attitude towards Yinhu also came to a halt. After a big change, she looks amiable every day, and gets closer to her children a lot.
Yinyou came to play with Yinhu, and Concubine Hui naturally didn't stop her.
The two brothers came to the place where the older brothers were in class, just in time for the morning class to be taught, and they were about to leave school.
Yinyou pulled Yinhu, the two brothers hid behind a pillar, cautiously poked out half of their heads, and watched the master come out of the room.
The study room in the palace is naturally not as good as the upper study room in the Forbidden City. The space is limited. Except for the prince, all the princes have classes in one place.The masters take turns to teach everyone according to the lecture content.
Today happened to be Xu Yuanmeng, a very young but strict teacher.
Ever since he was carried out of the study by him last time, Yinyou had a psychological shadow on him.
The domineering little elder brother who always walks sideways in Qianqing Palace, every time he sees this master, he curls up and walks around.
When Xu Yuanmeng was far away, Yinyou pulled his younger brother out from behind the pillar and walked into the study all the way.
There are three desks at a time in the middle of the study, and the outermost one belongs to the elder brother. He is sitting there absent-mindedly at the moment.
The person sitting in the middle is the third elder brother Yinzhi. Although the master has left and it is time to finish school, he still keeps his head down and flips through the books, and occasionally takes a pen to record something.
The innermost table is Yinzhen. He is the youngest, and it is actually a little difficult to go to school with his brothers, but he has always been strong, and he will only work harder in private, and will never lose to others.
As soon as the elder brother looked up, he saw two little guys coming in from the outside. He was near the water tower, stopped the two first, leaned on the chair slantingly, and shouted at the two younger brothers: " Stop! What are you doing, you two children, trespassing on the important place of the study, you should fight!"
Yinhu was a little bit afraid of big brother. Hearing his sudden shout, his small body flinched and hid behind Yinyou.
Yinyou was not afraid of him, and raised his head: "It's school time, the master has already left!"
Speaking of the master leaving, he couldn't help showing a happy smile on his little face, let alone the eldest brother, the third elder brother who suddenly looked up and saw this scene couldn't help but laugh.
Yinti raised his chin at him: "Come here."
At the same time, Yinzhi also waved at him, expressing the same meaning as Yinti.
And Yinzhen, who was sitting behind the innermost table, just looked at his younger brother tenderly, and slightly opened his arms to him, but did not speak.
Yinhu looked at the eldest brother, then at the third brother, then at the fourth brother, and finally fell on the face of the seventh brother beside him, his eyes were full of doubts - how do you choose?
Everyone fell silent, and their eyes fell on Yinyou alone.The room suddenly fell into silence, only the voices of cicadas shouting from the big tree outside, and the voice of Tang Bin explaining the article to the prince in the east wing room could be heard.
Yinyou was shocked: this master not only ignored the class, but also delayed the class. Everyone else was out of school, and the prince threw it in class.
"Prince, the emperor has always attached great importance to your leaving the court to give lectures, and has made full preparations. At this time, you must not relax at all."
The prince's gentle voice came from the east: "Yes, master."
Yinfeng was the first crown prince in the Qing Dynasty, and he was established as the prince just after he turned one year old.Therefore, until now, there has not been a complete set of etiquette and systems for the crown prince, and many of them have been used in the previous dynasty, and the prince's lectures when he came out of the cabinet is one of them.
In the Ming Dynasty, being able to give lectures as a prince means that the emperor has acquiesced in his status as the crown prince.In other words, this is the privilege of the crown prince, which other princes do not have.
Kangxi had always paid attention to Han culture, and the princes' culture courses mainly consisted of the "Four Books" and "Five Classics", so naturally he paid special attention to the matter of the prince leaving the court to give lectures.
Hearing this, no one else reacted. The two little ones, Yinyou and Yinhu, didn't even know what "leaving the pavilion" was.
Only Yinti sat there as if nothing had happened, but his eyes were a little erratic, and his heart was even more uncomfortable.
He wants to compete with the prince in every way, as long as he can get a little talk and respect from Khan Ama, he will be happy for a long time. He always feels that he is no worse than the second child, and Khan Ama will find out sooner or later.
But every time at this time, there are always some inadvertent moments that make him realize the reality—although they are both Khan Ama's sons, the prince is the prince, and the prince is the prince, and they are different after all.
Yinyou asked the eunuch to open the food box, took out a piece of lotus cake and handed it to the elder brother.
The elder brother glanced at the lotus cake, then at him, but didn't reach out.
Yinyou handed the lotus cake forward again: "Eat it, my mother-in-law said that if you eat something sweet, you will feel better."
The elder brother was a little bit annoyed when a little doll saw what was on his mind: "Who told you I was in a bad mood?"
Yinyou's expression was ignorant and naive, he just saw that his eldest brother was unhappy, but he didn't know why he was unhappy: "You don't need others to tell me, it's all written on your face."
Yinhu was standing behind him, looking at him with a look of shock and admiration.Although Yinhu was taller than him and had to lower his head a little to see him, his eyes were enough to express an effect of looking up.
He could also see the unhappiness in the elder brother's heart, but he dared not say it, and he would not say it in front of him.
Yinyou raised his hand holding the dim sum for a long time, feeling a little sour: "Brother, do you want to eat it, or I will eat it myself."
Yinti looked at him in shock, can he take back what he gave away and eat it by himself?
"Bring it here." Yinti stretched out his hand and took the lotus flower cake from his hand, the movement was so fast that he seemed a little caught off guard.
He took a bite, and layers of meringue exploded in his mouth, with the aroma of lotus. The lotus seed paste inside was sweet but not greasy, and tasted very good.
Yinti leaned forward and asked Yinyou: "I heard that someone wants to compete with me for the title of Batulu No. [-] in the Qing Dynasty."
When he spoke, he showed his thick arms intentionally or unintentionally, and the muscles bulged out under the thin clothes, causing Yinyou to take half a step back in fright.
"Oh," the little guy didn't change his expression, "Who is so ignorant?"
Yinti was about to die laughing at his cowardly but calm appearance: "Can you ride a horse?"
Yinyou shook his head: "No."
"Can you punch?"
"will not."
"Can you wrestle?"
"will not."
Big brother clenched his fist and stood up: "I'll teach you!"
Yinyou: "???"
With a face full of respect and indifference, he took another half step back: "No...don't!"
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
Yinti was really going to die of laughter from this younger brother, as expected, the little buns with such a cute appearance were all exchanged for the stuffing inside.
He ate the last bite of the lotus flower cake, rolled up the book casually, greeted his companion and haha beads and walked away.
Yinyou watched him walk out of the yard all the time, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, and went to the third elder brother's desk, picked up a piece of lotus cake and handed it over: "Third elder brother, try it."
Yinzhi took the snack, but put down a small paper bag in his hand.
Yinyou opened the paper bag, and there were several peanuts inside. He stuffed a mouthful into Yinhu's mouth, and took another one to eat by himself. The icing sugar on the outside melted on the tip of his tongue, and the peanuts inside were crunchy.
The third elder brother pointed to the "Book of Rites" in his hand, and said with a smile: "Going and not coming, it's against the rules; coming and not going, it's against the rules."
Yinyou nodded his head as if he understood, and understood a little bit, so this is the meaning of reading.
All he knew was that the crown prince gave him toys, so he should give him some delicious food.When I get to the third brother, I will say "come and don't go indecently".
"Do you two remember?"
Yinhu and Yinyou nodded at the same time: "I remember."
"Next time I see you two, I will test you two." While talking and laughing, Yin Zhi also carefully put away his notebook, got up and left.
In the study room, only Yinyou, Yinhu, and Yinzhen who was buried in the book at the far end were left.Companion and Haha Zhuzi retreated outside the door, not to disturb them.
Yinyou rushed over to hug Yinzhen, and shouted in his ear: "Brother, brother!"
Yinzhen pulled his paw away, turned his back to him, and continued to read.
Yinhu knew that Yinzhen didn't like him, and hadn't glanced at him since entering the door, so she stood aside tactfully.
Yinyou knew that his brother was angry again, because when he walked into the study, his brother opened his arms towards him, but he didn't rush over to give him a warm hug immediately.
Yinyou turned half a circle around the chair, leaned up to him and took his hand, Yinzhen avoided: "I'm reading a book."
Yinyou leaned in front of him: "Stop reading, just look at me."
With just such a sentence, Yinzhen couldn't hold back any longer, and the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously.
Yinyou hurriedly picked up a piece of lotus cake and fed it to his mouth: "I brought you the lotus cake made by Erniang herself, you can try it, it's delicious."
The younger brother handed all the delicious food to his mouth, how could Yinzhen be awkward with him, he opened his mouth and was about to eat.
At this time, a person walked in from the door.
Tang Bin dragged the hall for a long time, and then explained the truth to the prince, and then left after school.
The prince's nerves that had been tense all morning could finally be relaxed. As soon as he went out, he saw Yinyou circling around Yinzhen in the opposite study.
This little guy has always disliked the study, so it is rare to come here.When Tang Bin was lecturing just now, he heard Xiaotuanzi's voice faintly, and he must have been here for a long time.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the prince's face, and he walked towards the opposite side.
The elder brother had just walked out of the academy, and remembered that the master would check the copied copybook in class tomorrow. He hadn't written it yet, so he hurried back to get it.
As soon as he entered the yard, he saw the prince, and followed him into the study.
Yinhu stood aside, watching the prince and elder brother walk in at the same time, and walked towards the innermost desk at the same time, he had an intuition that something unexpected might happen next, and his eyes widened involuntarily.
When the old mother heard that her son wanted to learn how to read, she almost burst into tears with excitement. The son has been brought up to such an age, and he takes the initiative to eat, toy, and hang out. This is the first time he takes the initiative to learn.
She really thought about what she needs to prepare for recognizing characters, whether to start with Hanyu Pinyin, or start with characters with simple strokes, how to improve his interest in learning, and whether there are too many strokes in traditional characters, will it be difficult to learn at the beginning? , making him shrink back...
As a result, Hanyu Pinyin, simplified characters, and traditional characters... are not needed at all. Her son is so weak-willed that as long as he hears the words "new toys", his soul has already been hooked away.
The imperial concubine stood aside, watching her son excitedly open the wooden box, and screamed in surprise when he saw the toys inside.
The old mother was even more angry, her teeth itching with hatred, she picked up the copybook in her hand, and slapped him on the back twice: "Toy, toy, I think you look like a toy."
Where was she willing to hit it, those two slaps were like tickling, the little guy sat motionless at the table, still studying the toy carefully.
The Empress Dowager also smiled and comforted her: "Xiao Qi is only three and a half years old, and he is still two years away from the age stipulated by the emperor. If he doesn't want to learn, he can wait."
Aunt Su Ma smiled and said: "The old ancestor is partial to the seventh elder brother."
The Empress Dowager was not happy: "Tell me, why am I biased?"
"Back then, the emperor avoided acne outside the palace until he returned to the palace at the age of eight. You ordered your servants to ride horses from the Cining Palace to the mansion outside the Xihua Gate every day to enlighten the emperor."
"That's right, the emperor is now able to write beautiful Manchu, all thanks to you."
The two old sisters were reminiscing about the past, and the imperial concubine forgot to discipline her son, so she quickly asked them to sit down and chat slowly, and let the maid serve tea.
The so-called "relying on education and teaching national books", Kangxi lived outside the palace when he was a child, and he was only taken care of by two wet nurses, one of whom was Cao Yin's aunt Sun.
The life outside the palace was lonely and desolate. Even Kangxi himself said, "Parents have never been happy for a day." At that time, the only person he could see from the palace was the maid next to his grandmother. There was no blood relationship between them. , but has a stronger kinship than blood. Aunt Su Ma is his teacher, and she exists like a mother.
The Empress Dowager patted the back of Aunt Su Ma's hand with a smile: "I remember that when Xuan Ye returned to the palace, he still called you Er Niang."
Yinyou can now speak Manchu, Mongolian and Chinese, but neither knows nor writes.
Although La Aunt Su Ma is nearly [-] years old now, her body is strong and her spirit is hale and hearty.The Empress Dowager originally wanted her to teach Yinyou to learn Manchu, but the little guy had no intention of learning, and wanted to play all day long.
Yinyou played with the toys while listening to their chat.
Ama lived outside the palace for a long time, and Aunt Su Ma enlightened him every day, writing a beautiful Manchu poem... Yinyou didn't remember all these, he only remembered two words.
"Mother Su, Mother Su!" Yin Youkao went over and pulled Aunt Lasumala's sleeve, "Xiao Qi wants to ride a horse too."
Aunt Su Ma patted his head: "When you grow up, the emperor will naturally arrange for a master to teach you riding and archery."
Alas, I have to wait until I grow up again, the little guy sits back on his stool shaking his head, let's take a look at the new toy first.
The crown prince asked the manufacturing office to develop it by himself based on the gadgets brought by the missionaries.
On the top of the toy is a boy with a thick head and a thick head wearing a bellyband, holding a feather fan in his hand. Below is a wooden box with a clockwork on the back. When the spring is twisted, the boy will keep fanning the fan up and down.
Although it's just a toy, the boy's size is limited, and the wind from the fan can't untie it, but the toy is very delicately made, and it's a rare thing to look at. Even the Empress Dowager finds it interesting, and Yinyou can't put it down, it's fresh for several days.
In the beginning, he just played the regular game, winding up the clockwork, watching the little boy fanning himself one after another, leaning his little face from time to time, and the soft feathers swept across his pink and tender cheeks, making him giggle .
Within a few days, the imperial concubine noticed that he was no longer interested in this mechanical fanning.
So, he ran to the yard to pick up many fallen leaves, and when he came back, he dressed up the fairy boy. First, he took a larger leaf to make a hat for the fairy boy, and carefully dug two holes to expose his braid. Come.
Later, I wrapped a hula skirt under his bellyband and wound it up. When the little boy fanned the fan again, his body swayed slightly mechanically following the rhythm, just like an Indian dancing a hula dance.
Imperial Concubine: "..."
My son is really a clever little ghost. One toy can also develop multiple ways of playing. She doesn’t know if he can learn both Chinese and Western in the future, but he will definitely be able to play and eat both Chinese and Western.
A good mechanical toy was played as a dress-up game, Yinyou was really fresh for two days, and even took the rouge from his mother-in-law's dressing table, and almost turned the beaming little fairy boy into a murder victim.
Fortunately, the imperial concubine arrived in time and stopped him: "Er Niang thinks this is not good."
Yinyou was puzzled: "What's wrong."
"You should treat the toy that the prince gave you kindly, otherwise, the prince will be sad when he knows that you don't cherish the gift he gave you."
Yinyou gently hugged the toy in his arms: "I cherish it very much, and I am reluctant to give it to others."
"Then have fun and don't destroy it."
Yinyou remembered it in his brain, but not in his hands. He thought that not to cause damage meant not to smear rouge on Xiantong's body, but the next day he found something more interesting than a dress-up game.
He actually had nothing to do and dismantled the wooden box at the bottom of the toy, revealing the mechanical device inside, and then he lay down on the table to observe carefully. When the clockwork was screwed to the fullest state, the metal sheet inside would be tightly rolled. Together, let loose little by little.
But the box is too small, the inside is dark, and some parts are covered, so you can't see it at all.
Yinyou vaguely felt that the following metal parts were the key to the movement of the feather fan in the little boy's hand, but he didn't understand how it moved, and he was full of curiosity and exploration spirit, so he had to figure it out .
So I just did it, three times and two times, and within a short time, I dismantled the most core mechanical device at the bottom of the whole toy.
At this time, the imperial concubine was chatting with the empress dowager. The empress dowager talked about her life on the grassland when she was young. As she talked, she began to miss the delicious food in her hometown and wanted to drink a bowl of Mongolian milk tea.
None of the royal chefs in the palace could make the taste she remembered, only Lagu Su Ma could make it. The imperial concubine followed suit a few times and probably mastered the basic method.
On such a hot day, La Aunt Su Ma was also getting old, so she volunteered to try: "If you can't make the taste you remember, please forgive me."
The Empress Dowager took her hand: "You are a good and filial child, I like whatever you do."
As soon as she turned around, she found Yinyou sitting on the other side with his back to everyone. He was lowering his head, surrounded by a pile of large and small metal parts.The little fairy boy was put aside together with the wooden box at the bottom.
"!!!"
At that moment, the imperial concubine felt that her blood was rushing to her head, and the old mother's blood pressure was already full.
The child is quiet, he must be acting as a demon.This is indeed true in any era.
She walked over, tried to suppress her anger, and tried to reason with her son: "Xiao Qi, didn't we agree? The toys given by the prince's brother should be played well and not damaged."
Yinyou raised his head, avenging himself righteously: "I didn't cause damage, you see, the little boy is standing there properly."
"But the second half is about to be dismantled by you." The imperial concubine twitched the corners of her mouth, so angry that she didn't know what to say.
Yinyou pouted: "But, Erniang didn't say that the bottom cannot be removed, I just want to see, how does it fan?"
"Do you understand then?"
Yinyou shook his head: "No."
The imperial concubine tugged at her sleeves, Yinyou thought she was about to be beaten, so she quickly turned over, her black and round eyes rolling around: "I... I, I, I will put it back."
The imperial concubine smiled: "Can you put it back?"
Yinyou patted his chest and promised: "I can!"
The imperial concubine nodded: "Okay, just pretend, I'll see if you put it back later."
As soon as she left, Yinyou shouted from behind: "Aunt Xi, Aunt Xi, did you bring that western toy, the one that can dance on the stool."
"Bring it."
He has been tired of playing with this toy for a long time, and he hasn't asked for it for a long time, but it was a gift from the prince, and he clamored to wear it when he came. Before Yinqi and Baotai asked him for it, he didn't give it to him.
Li Xi dug it out for him from the bottom of the box: "Why do you think of wanting this again?"
Yinyou took it over and wanted to dismantle it without further ado, Li Xi hurriedly stopped him: "What is this for, that one hasn't been put back yet, let the imperial concubine know later, you are really going to be beaten."
Yinyou told her in a low voice: "I can't pretend to go back! The prince brother said that it was made according to this, so I will open it and have a look..."
Since that was made by imitating this, it seems to be the same reason to put that back according to this.
On the other side, the Empress Dowager also noticed the pile of messy things in front of him, she closed her eyes and said slowly: "If he likes it, let him take it apart, if he can't put it back, let the manufacturing office send someone over to teach him how to put it back together." .”
After all, it’s just a toy. It’s rare for a child to have this research spirit. Isn’t he like this when Ama was a child?I want to learn everything and study everything, from Manchus to Hans to Westerners... I don’t know how many masters I hired for myself.
So, when the imperial concubine came back after making milk tea, what she saw was not the toy that had been put back together, but two toys that had been taken apart.
Yinyou also carefully placed the two piles of parts in different positions, for fear that if they got mixed up, they would never be able to put them back together.
Imperial Concubine: "..."
Yinyou: "..."
The mother and son stared wide-eyed, and the atmosphere was tense.The Empress Dowager smelled the Mongolian milk tea just out of the pot, and pulled Aunt Su Ma to watch the fun.
The imperial concubine would not beat a child in front of her ancestors, but that doesn't mean she wasn't angry.
The item was given by the crown prince, and Xiao Qi cherished it very much before, but no one would give it to him.It's good now, all of them are broken into pieces and dismantled into two piles of scrap iron.
"Have you ever thought about the feelings of the prince's brother?"
Yinyou: "..."
When I disassembled it, I only focused on figuring out why the fan moved, without thinking too much, and I was confident that I could put it back together, who would have thought...
Yinyou walked over and tugged on La Eniang's sleeve: "Give me a little more time, and I will put them all back."
With a confident expression in his grievances, he almost killed his old mother, thinking: "How can it be so easy, even if I give you a little more time, you may not be able to go back, my silly son."
But it didn't show on his face, he still looked at him seriously: "What if you can't pretend?"
Yinyou bit his lower lip, remembering that Ukuma had mentioned the Manufacturing Office just now, and wanted to ask them for help.
Rolling his eyes, he felt something was wrong again.
I have so many toys, I like to play with them for a while, and when I get tired of playing with them, I will put them aside for a long time without turning them out to have a look.
The brothers came to him to play and fell in love with his toys. As long as it wasn't the one he liked or the prince's brother gave him, he would generously share it with his brothers, and Er Niang never said anything.
He remembered again that Er Niang had said before that if the prince's brother knew that he didn't cherish the toys he gave him, he would be very sad.
Feelings of guilt suddenly rushed into Yinyou's heart, he just wanted to see why the fan in Xiao Xiantong's hand moved and how it worked inside, but he didn't want to make the prince brother feel sad.
Yinyou thought for a while, and solemnly assured Erniang: "I will work very hard to put them back, if not, I will apologize to the prince brother."
The son is sensible and cute, the imperial concubine squatted down and hugged him: "Then mother will help you put it back together, okay?"
"it is good!"
As soon as Yinyou said "good", he was caught off guard and slapped on the buttocks. After the slap was over, someone kissed his little cheek again: "You..."
At this time, the eunuch announced in the courtyard: "The emperor is here!"
It was probably because the yard was too small, and as soon as his voice fell, Kangxi opened the curtain and walked in stridingly.
Seeing Ama, Yinyou immediately ran over to hug his leg, and shouted anxiously: "Ama, Ama!"
Kangxi lowered his head and frowned at him: "When you see Ama, what should you do first?"
Yinyou stepped back half a step: "My son, please greet Ama!"
Everyone in the room also paid respects to the emperor.
"rise……"
Before Kangxi could say the last two words, the youngest son turned into a sticky brown candy again, and came over to stick to him tightly: "Ama, what if someone beats your son?"
Kangxi raised his head and looked right at the imperial concubine. The two exchanged silently. He patted his son's head and said with a smile, "Then I will beat her son."
Yinyou let go of Ama's leg, took two steps back, and walked away quickly: "Oh, it's all right."
Kangxi stopped him with a smile: "What's wrong?"
Yinyou thought: "Ama is too bad." But he said, "I don't want my brother to be beaten too."
The emperor didn't even keep up with his thoughts for a moment: "Who said you are going to beat your brother?"
Yinyou tilted his head: "But, my mother only has two sons."
"Alas..." The imperial concubine sighed silently at the side, "It's just me, a silly son, no wonder the toys can't be put back together after being dismantled."
Yinyou returned to the table where he was playing just now, and was worried about the pile of parts.
Kangxi went to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager, and then sat at the table and asked about the aroma of milk tea coming towards him: "If you smell this smell, you will know that Madam Su cooked it herself."
Aunt Su Ma smiled and said: "Then the emperor guessed wrong, it was cooked by the imperial concubine."
"Oh," Kangxi was a little surprised, "Then I have to try it, whether it's authentic or not."
Hearing what Grandma said, Yinyou's ears moved, and then again... Every time Ahma came, she would either eat food or snacks, and today she even wanted to eat the milk tea made by my mother.
He put down the things in his hand, and ran to the table slowly: "Xiao Qi also wants to try it, authentic or not."
His tone was so learned that he made everyone present laugh, especially the Empress Dowager.This day and night, how can we leave this little guy.
Kangxi waved his folding fan and asked him: "Do you know what authentic Mongolian milk tea is? You have never been to the Mongolian grasslands."
"Although I have never been there," Yinyou patted his chest proudly, "but I, Ukumama, am a Mongolian, and I was raised by her."
Kangxi pinched his chin: "This mouth, why is it sweeter than milk tea?"
As soon as the milk tea was served, Yinyou couldn't wait to bring the bowl to his mouth, and poured it all down: "It's so fragrant!"
Watching him eat is a very appetizing thing, Kangxi also took a sip with the bowl.
Yinyou looked at him expectantly, and asked, "Is it authentic?"
The emperor asked instead: "So what if it's authentic, so what if it's not authentic?"
"Authentic means that my mother-in-law is good at craftsmanship." Yinyou looked at his bowl, "if it is not authentic, give me a drink."
"You are..." The folding fan fell, and it happened to hit the little guy on the forehead, "It's a beautiful idea!"
After drinking the milk tea, Yinyou continued to study his toys contentedly, when suddenly a voice came from behind: "This piece should be put here, left and right, it's stuck, right!"
I don't know when, someone stood behind him, watched him fiddle with it for a long time, kept trying, and finally couldn't help but give instructions.
It was a toy after all, and the mechanical device was not complicated.Yinyou couldn't pretend to go back because he was too young. It was his first attempt and he didn't understand the mechanical structure.
Now with some pointers from the side, he put the first one back in no time.
Yinyou turned around, raised his fist and cheered, "Ama is amazing!"
The emperor casually chuckled: "I have already dismantled many of these things."
Behind the two of them, the Empress Dowager and the Imperial Concubine looked at each other. It turned out that the habit of dismantling things is hereditary.
Kangxi raised the folding fan in his hand and clicked another pile of parts: "You put that back yourself."
Whether he plays with building blocks or Kong Mingsuo, Yinyou is a good player. He belongs to the type who can learn quickly after thinking about it for a while. He has a good memory and strong hands-on ability.
The other one is similar to this principle, and Yinyou quickly installed half of it, but there is still a slight difference in the middle.
The old father stood behind and watched, and when he couldn't figure it out, he asked himself for help. How could he know how to draw inferences from one example at a young age, and the parts are all the same. in the box.
Because the child's hands are very small, he can connect the last iron wire without any tools, and then screw on the law bar, and the little figure on it starts dancing on the stool again.
The emperor kept his expression on the surface, but he praised Yinyou in his heart: "As expected of my son."
He also took the time to come over today, and he has other schedules in a while.
Before leaving, he suddenly asked his son: "I'm going to take the boss and the prince out tomorrow, do you want Xiao Qi to go together?"
When he heard that he was going out, Yinyou's eyes lit up: "I want to think about it! Ama, Xiaoqi wants to go!"
"Without you."
After finishing speaking, Kangxi took his head and left without looking back.
Yinyou: "..."
If you don't take it, you don't take it, Yinyou knows, anyway, he didn't plan to bring him with him from the beginning, but he just said that.
After entering the dog days, the temperature is getting higher and higher, and the hot weather makes Yinyou stay in the house for several days, watching the tadpoles in the pond grow back legs and almost turn into frogs, accompanied by the sound of frogs and insects at night I fell asleep and was woken up by the cicada on the tree in the morning.
On this day, it finally rained the night before, and it didn't stop until dawn. The scorching sun was covered by thick clouds, and the rare cloudy sky brought a bit of coolness.
The imperial concubine knew that the child was suffocated, and she shouted to go out to play every day. It happened that it was cool today, so she took fresh lotus flowers and made him some sober and refreshing lotus cakes, and asked him to take them to his brothers to play.
Yinyou went to find Yinhu first, thinking that he was going to take his eighth brother out to play, and he had to pass the test of Concubine Hui.
I didn't expect it to be so easy today, I just asked the nanny next to Concubine Hui to pass a message, and the other party agreed.
After going out, Yinyou took his younger brother's hand and walked forward bouncingly: "Ms. Hui is really easy to talk to now. I have already thought about how to praise her when I go in. I didn't expect that she agreed directly." .”
Yinhu pulled his finger and said, "A few days ago, Khan Ama came here."
Only then did Yinyou learn from Yinhu that the sudden change in Concubine Hui's attitude was due to Kangxi's sudden visit.
He first praised the elder brother well, he is both civil and military, and many officials are full of praise for him.
Then, he mentioned Yinhu again, saying that the child was so smart and sensible when he was young, and he must be as good as his elder brothers when he grows up. In the end, he did not forget to affirm Concubine Hui's contribution and praised her for taking good care of the children. Very good, I also rewarded some melon and fruit cloth.
Concubine Hui was already very excited by the emperor's sudden visit, and adding a few words of praise, especially the part that exaggerated her elder brother, made her feel elated as a mother, and her attitude towards Yinhu also came to a halt. After a big change, she looks amiable every day, and gets closer to her children a lot.
Yinyou came to play with Yinhu, and Concubine Hui naturally didn't stop her.
The two brothers came to the place where the older brothers were in class, just in time for the morning class to be taught, and they were about to leave school.
Yinyou pulled Yinhu, the two brothers hid behind a pillar, cautiously poked out half of their heads, and watched the master come out of the room.
The study room in the palace is naturally not as good as the upper study room in the Forbidden City. The space is limited. Except for the prince, all the princes have classes in one place.The masters take turns to teach everyone according to the lecture content.
Today happened to be Xu Yuanmeng, a very young but strict teacher.
Ever since he was carried out of the study by him last time, Yinyou had a psychological shadow on him.
The domineering little elder brother who always walks sideways in Qianqing Palace, every time he sees this master, he curls up and walks around.
When Xu Yuanmeng was far away, Yinyou pulled his younger brother out from behind the pillar and walked into the study all the way.
There are three desks at a time in the middle of the study, and the outermost one belongs to the elder brother. He is sitting there absent-mindedly at the moment.
The person sitting in the middle is the third elder brother Yinzhi. Although the master has left and it is time to finish school, he still keeps his head down and flips through the books, and occasionally takes a pen to record something.
The innermost table is Yinzhen. He is the youngest, and it is actually a little difficult to go to school with his brothers, but he has always been strong, and he will only work harder in private, and will never lose to others.
As soon as the elder brother looked up, he saw two little guys coming in from the outside. He was near the water tower, stopped the two first, leaned on the chair slantingly, and shouted at the two younger brothers: " Stop! What are you doing, you two children, trespassing on the important place of the study, you should fight!"
Yinhu was a little bit afraid of big brother. Hearing his sudden shout, his small body flinched and hid behind Yinyou.
Yinyou was not afraid of him, and raised his head: "It's school time, the master has already left!"
Speaking of the master leaving, he couldn't help showing a happy smile on his little face, let alone the eldest brother, the third elder brother who suddenly looked up and saw this scene couldn't help but laugh.
Yinti raised his chin at him: "Come here."
At the same time, Yinzhi also waved at him, expressing the same meaning as Yinti.
And Yinzhen, who was sitting behind the innermost table, just looked at his younger brother tenderly, and slightly opened his arms to him, but did not speak.
Yinhu looked at the eldest brother, then at the third brother, then at the fourth brother, and finally fell on the face of the seventh brother beside him, his eyes were full of doubts - how do you choose?
Everyone fell silent, and their eyes fell on Yinyou alone.The room suddenly fell into silence, only the voices of cicadas shouting from the big tree outside, and the voice of Tang Bin explaining the article to the prince in the east wing room could be heard.
Yinyou was shocked: this master not only ignored the class, but also delayed the class. Everyone else was out of school, and the prince threw it in class.
"Prince, the emperor has always attached great importance to your leaving the court to give lectures, and has made full preparations. At this time, you must not relax at all."
The prince's gentle voice came from the east: "Yes, master."
Yinfeng was the first crown prince in the Qing Dynasty, and he was established as the prince just after he turned one year old.Therefore, until now, there has not been a complete set of etiquette and systems for the crown prince, and many of them have been used in the previous dynasty, and the prince's lectures when he came out of the cabinet is one of them.
In the Ming Dynasty, being able to give lectures as a prince means that the emperor has acquiesced in his status as the crown prince.In other words, this is the privilege of the crown prince, which other princes do not have.
Kangxi had always paid attention to Han culture, and the princes' culture courses mainly consisted of the "Four Books" and "Five Classics", so naturally he paid special attention to the matter of the prince leaving the court to give lectures.
Hearing this, no one else reacted. The two little ones, Yinyou and Yinhu, didn't even know what "leaving the pavilion" was.
Only Yinti sat there as if nothing had happened, but his eyes were a little erratic, and his heart was even more uncomfortable.
He wants to compete with the prince in every way, as long as he can get a little talk and respect from Khan Ama, he will be happy for a long time. He always feels that he is no worse than the second child, and Khan Ama will find out sooner or later.
But every time at this time, there are always some inadvertent moments that make him realize the reality—although they are both Khan Ama's sons, the prince is the prince, and the prince is the prince, and they are different after all.
Yinyou asked the eunuch to open the food box, took out a piece of lotus cake and handed it to the elder brother.
The elder brother glanced at the lotus cake, then at him, but didn't reach out.
Yinyou handed the lotus cake forward again: "Eat it, my mother-in-law said that if you eat something sweet, you will feel better."
The elder brother was a little bit annoyed when a little doll saw what was on his mind: "Who told you I was in a bad mood?"
Yinyou's expression was ignorant and naive, he just saw that his eldest brother was unhappy, but he didn't know why he was unhappy: "You don't need others to tell me, it's all written on your face."
Yinhu was standing behind him, looking at him with a look of shock and admiration.Although Yinhu was taller than him and had to lower his head a little to see him, his eyes were enough to express an effect of looking up.
He could also see the unhappiness in the elder brother's heart, but he dared not say it, and he would not say it in front of him.
Yinyou raised his hand holding the dim sum for a long time, feeling a little sour: "Brother, do you want to eat it, or I will eat it myself."
Yinti looked at him in shock, can he take back what he gave away and eat it by himself?
"Bring it here." Yinti stretched out his hand and took the lotus flower cake from his hand, the movement was so fast that he seemed a little caught off guard.
He took a bite, and layers of meringue exploded in his mouth, with the aroma of lotus. The lotus seed paste inside was sweet but not greasy, and tasted very good.
Yinti leaned forward and asked Yinyou: "I heard that someone wants to compete with me for the title of Batulu No. [-] in the Qing Dynasty."
When he spoke, he showed his thick arms intentionally or unintentionally, and the muscles bulged out under the thin clothes, causing Yinyou to take half a step back in fright.
"Oh," the little guy didn't change his expression, "Who is so ignorant?"
Yinti was about to die laughing at his cowardly but calm appearance: "Can you ride a horse?"
Yinyou shook his head: "No."
"Can you punch?"
"will not."
"Can you wrestle?"
"will not."
Big brother clenched his fist and stood up: "I'll teach you!"
Yinyou: "???"
With a face full of respect and indifference, he took another half step back: "No...don't!"
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
Yinti was really going to die of laughter from this younger brother, as expected, the little buns with such a cute appearance were all exchanged for the stuffing inside.
He ate the last bite of the lotus flower cake, rolled up the book casually, greeted his companion and haha beads and walked away.
Yinyou watched him walk out of the yard all the time, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, and went to the third elder brother's desk, picked up a piece of lotus cake and handed it over: "Third elder brother, try it."
Yinzhi took the snack, but put down a small paper bag in his hand.
Yinyou opened the paper bag, and there were several peanuts inside. He stuffed a mouthful into Yinhu's mouth, and took another one to eat by himself. The icing sugar on the outside melted on the tip of his tongue, and the peanuts inside were crunchy.
The third elder brother pointed to the "Book of Rites" in his hand, and said with a smile: "Going and not coming, it's against the rules; coming and not going, it's against the rules."
Yinyou nodded his head as if he understood, and understood a little bit, so this is the meaning of reading.
All he knew was that the crown prince gave him toys, so he should give him some delicious food.When I get to the third brother, I will say "come and don't go indecently".
"Do you two remember?"
Yinhu and Yinyou nodded at the same time: "I remember."
"Next time I see you two, I will test you two." While talking and laughing, Yin Zhi also carefully put away his notebook, got up and left.
In the study room, only Yinyou, Yinhu, and Yinzhen who was buried in the book at the far end were left.Companion and Haha Zhuzi retreated outside the door, not to disturb them.
Yinyou rushed over to hug Yinzhen, and shouted in his ear: "Brother, brother!"
Yinzhen pulled his paw away, turned his back to him, and continued to read.
Yinhu knew that Yinzhen didn't like him, and hadn't glanced at him since entering the door, so she stood aside tactfully.
Yinyou knew that his brother was angry again, because when he walked into the study, his brother opened his arms towards him, but he didn't rush over to give him a warm hug immediately.
Yinyou turned half a circle around the chair, leaned up to him and took his hand, Yinzhen avoided: "I'm reading a book."
Yinyou leaned in front of him: "Stop reading, just look at me."
With just such a sentence, Yinzhen couldn't hold back any longer, and the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously.
Yinyou hurriedly picked up a piece of lotus cake and fed it to his mouth: "I brought you the lotus cake made by Erniang herself, you can try it, it's delicious."
The younger brother handed all the delicious food to his mouth, how could Yinzhen be awkward with him, he opened his mouth and was about to eat.
At this time, a person walked in from the door.
Tang Bin dragged the hall for a long time, and then explained the truth to the prince, and then left after school.
The prince's nerves that had been tense all morning could finally be relaxed. As soon as he went out, he saw Yinyou circling around Yinzhen in the opposite study.
This little guy has always disliked the study, so it is rare to come here.When Tang Bin was lecturing just now, he heard Xiaotuanzi's voice faintly, and he must have been here for a long time.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the prince's face, and he walked towards the opposite side.
The elder brother had just walked out of the academy, and remembered that the master would check the copied copybook in class tomorrow. He hadn't written it yet, so he hurried back to get it.
As soon as he entered the yard, he saw the prince, and followed him into the study.
Yinhu stood aside, watching the prince and elder brother walk in at the same time, and walked towards the innermost desk at the same time, he had an intuition that something unexpected might happen next, and his eyes widened involuntarily.
