Yinyou's attention was all on Yinzhen, holding the piece of lotus cake and handing it to his lips, waiting for him to bite down with anticipation, as if his brother had eaten the lotus cake made by Er Niang, and it was better than himself. Even if you eat, you will be satisfied.
He was so focused that he didn't realize that there were two people approaching quietly behind him.
"Brother, eat..." Before Yinyou could finish his sentence, he saw Yinzhen frowned, sat up straight, and looked behind him.
The little guy tilted his head strangely, and was about to turn around, when suddenly, a hand pressed against his shoulder with great strength.
Before he could react to what was going on, another hand pressed on his right shoulder again, although the strength was not strong, but it was firm - it was obviously not a person's hand.
Yinzhen didn't even think about eating lotus flower cakes, so he quickly put down his book, grabbed his brother's little hand, and refused to let go.
Yinyou: "!!!"
Yinhu on the side opened his mouth and looked at Seventh Brother surrounded by three people. He felt that the delicate atmosphere in the air was about to condense into substance, and he was so overwhelmed that he couldn't breathe. He instinctively covered his mouth with his hand .
Yinyou was very calm, he didn't realize what happened...or what was going to happen.
So, he raised his head and looked to the left, and saw the eldest brother who had gone and returned, with a look of impatience on his face.
Then, he turned his head and looked to the right. The elder brother of the prince frowned, his smile froze on his face, and his expression was a little annoyed.
Yinzhen held his younger brother's hand, refusing to let go.It is well known that the prince and elder brother have always been at odds.He always felt that these two elder brothers had malicious intentions and wanted to make use of his younger brother.
Seeing Xiaotuanzi, the prince was in a good mood at first, but who knows, just as he walked into the study, the elder brother followed him in.Every time something happens, as long as the boss joins in, nothing good will happen.
The big elder brother went back and forth originally to get the copybook, but he changed his mind when he saw the prince.That little bun is so cute, how could only the prince like it.
The prince pulled Yinyou to his side, with a doting smile on his face, and asked in a soft voice: "Xiao Qi, I haven't seen brother Prince for a long time, do you want to play with me?"
Of course Yinyou wanted to go, the elder brother of the prince was very kind to him, he would order the kitchen to cook his favorite dishes and snacks, and he would also give him toys.
However, before he could speak, on the other side, the elder brother tugged him again, and Yinyou's body involuntarily tilted to the left: "The lotus cake tastes good, and the imperial concubine's craftsmanship is very good, but the cook who makes dim sum in my place The craftsmanship is not bad either. In the past two days, I have improved the recipe of Yunpian Cake, do Xiao Qi want to try it?"
Of course I wanted to, Yinyou never forgot about eating the Yunpian Cake from Big Brother once, and he even mentioned it to the imperial concubine a few times, hoping that Erniang could make it too.
The prince was not convinced, and pulled Xiaotuanzi to his side: "Ama Khan recently gave you a new Western gadget, and I haven't had time to send someone to deliver it to you. Just in time, you go and get it yourself."
Eldest elder brother immediately made a move and brought Yinyou to him. He was older than the prince, and on weekdays he valued martial arts rather than culture.
"Don't you want to be Batulu? Batulu is nothing if you don't know kung fu. Let's go, big brother will teach you!"
Yinyou: "..."
He was swayed like this, his hands were still tightly held by Yinzhen, and he felt that he was about to be torn into three pieces by them.
Yinhu stood aside, with a rich expression on his face. He looked at the prince and elder brother with respect and fear, and wanted to rush to rescue his seventh brother, but seeing the expression on Yinzhen's face, he wanted to hide. farther away.
How to do it?How to do it?
Ah, it seems that the brothers love Seventh Brother very much, so... why don't you just stand by and watch obediently.
"Oh, oh!" Yinyou struggled twice, "My shoulder hurts so much."
The prince kicked at the big brother: "Let go!"
The elder brother stared back unceremoniously: "Why don't you let go?"
Yinyou shouted: "Let go, both of you!" He looked at his brother tearfully, "You let go too."
So the three of them were startled by Xiaotuanzi's crying cry, and they let go of their hands in a tacit understanding.
Yinyou pouted, glanced at the prince, then at the elder brother, and finally at the lotus cake in his hand.
He asked the elder brother: "Do you want to eat?"
Although the imperial concubine is very good at cooking, the elder brother has always disliked sweets, and it's almost enough to try one, but he doesn't really want it very much.
But the person who asked him was the little bun with thin skin and stuffing in front of him, so he nodded, and just about to say "it's okay to eat another one", but Yinyou withdrew his hand.
The little guy seemed to remember something, and immediately withdrew his hand: "You have already eaten one, this is my brother's."
Big brother: "..."
Yinyou couldn't help saying, stepped forward and stuffed the lotus cake into Yinzhen's mouth: "Eat it quickly! Otherwise, big brother will snatch it!"
"???"
The big elder brother roared in his heart: "Am I as good as that? Grab food with my younger brother."
Yinzhen's younger brother stuffed his mouth full of lotus flower crisps. The outside of the thing was puff pastry, and his mouth was full after one bite, and the inside was filled with sweet lotus seed paste.
He was just a child under the age of six, and he almost choked to death when he was stuffed into a whole piece of lotus puff pastry.
But Yinzhen was still very happy in his heart. The prince and elder brother were at war for his younger brother, but the little guy was still thinking about himself at the first moment. The feeling in his heart was much sweeter than the lotus in his mouth.
Yinyou freed his hands, rubbed his two shoulders first, and thought: "Brother's strength is really great. Could this be the strength of Batulu? Then I have to practice hard and surpass him in the future!"
Then he walked to the side of the eunuch, took out another lotus cake from inside, and handed it to the prince: "Brother prince also eats it, Xiaoqi specially left it for you!"
The brothers all looked at him, this little guy was dragged around by the three brothers for a long time, but he still hasn't forgotten his mission on this trip - to deliver snacks to the brothers, and insist on fair distribution, one for each person!
Yinhu looked at him, and wanted to ask Brother Seven, did you miss the point, now they are not fighting for lotus cakes, but you.
Yinyou is a kid with his own ideas. He first walked up to the stage and hugged the Prince's leg: "Brother Prince, please don't give your toys to others. Xiaoqi will come and play with you tomorrow."
The prince was so cute by his actions, he patted his head and said, "Okay, I'll keep it for you."
After speaking, he rushed over to find Yinzhen: "Er Niang told you to come over to have dinner tonight, don't forget it!"
Yinzhen smiled and took his little hand: "Okay!"
In the end, he passed by the elder brother, raised his head to look at him, bit his lower lip and asked, "Do you keep your word?"
The elder brother raised his chin proudly: "Of course it counts!"
Yinyou stood on tiptoe and wanted to pat his elder brother on the shoulder, but he couldn't reach it, so he could only pat him on the chest: "Then I will go to you to learn kung fu in two days."
"Oh..." Big brother touched his chest, and was about to die laughing at his stepping.
Yinyou called for a suitable eunuch, and then took Yinhu's hand: "Let's go, let's send lotus cakes to Brother Wu."
Yinti, Yinreng and Yinzhen looked at each other behind him: "The little guy still has lotus cakes!"
The two brothers came to the place where the queen mother lived. It was a cool day today. The fifth elder brother was playing in the yard, and the ninth elder brother was also there.
This made Yinyou so worried, he took a peek outside the yard, and there were only two pieces of lotus cake left, and he wanted to save one piece for Sixth Brother.
Yinqi saw him from a long distance, jumped up and waved to him: "Seventh brother and seventh brother, come in quickly! Oh, eighth brother is here too!"
Yinyou led Yinhu into the yard, took out lotus cakes from the food box, and was about to pass them to Yinyou, when a babbling sound came from beside him.
Ninth elder brother Yinzhen, before he learned to speak, he had already learned to eat.He was held in the arms of the nanny, and he leaned desperately towards Yinyou's direction, stretching out his little paws to grab the lotus cake in his hand.
Yinyou tilted his head to look at him, and asked the nanny for a handkerchief to help him wipe his saliva: "Look, the child is so hungry, you must be starving, Seventh brother feed you."
The grandma was frightened by him, she took a few steps back holding the child: "Seventh brother, you can't help it, ninth brother can't eat these now, it's a big deal if you choke!"
The lotus cake in Yinyou's hand swayed around in front of Yinzhen's small mouth and nose, then shrank back, speaking in a gloating tone: "You can't eat it yet, Brother Seven will feed you when you grow up."
Yinzhen has been ten months old. Although she can't speak, she can already express her thoughts with other actions. With a "wow", she burst into tears, kicking and kicking non-stop, trying to rush over to grab that piece of lotus flower cake , Xiao Shouha almost caught his seventh brother's nose.
It's not hard to see that at such a young age, Brother Jiu already has the potential to be a brat.
Yinqi ran over and stroked his younger brother's head. The child hadn't shaved his head yet, and his hair was so limp that it felt like touching a kitten or puppy: "Don't cry, don't cry, if you cry again, fifth brother will beat you up .”
He said the most hated words in the cutest tone, and Yinzhen immediately shut up, looking at them both helplessly, not daring to say anything more.
Yinyou handed the lotus cake to Yinqi, and the latter enjoyed his summer dessert one bite at a time under the watchful eye of his younger brother with tears in his eyes.
Concubine Yi came out of the room when she heard the cry of the child, and happened to see Yinyou, Yinqi, and Yinhu, three elder brothers of similar age, talking and laughing, while Yinyu was sucking her finger pitifully beside her, with a smile on her face. tear stains.
Yinyou was standing with his back to the main hall, and didn't notice that Concubine Yi came out, but Yinhu, who was standing opposite him, saw it and vigilantly gave his seventh brother a wink, but Yinyou was still talking to Yinqi vividly The story of how I dismantled the toy and how I put it back together under Ama's guidance.
Yinhu walked up to Yinhu, wiped away the tears on his face, and coaxed: "Ninth brother, good boy, don't cry."
Concubine Yi smiled without saying anything, put down the curtain and entered the room again.
The eighth elder brother has a keen mind and sees all directions, which is very characteristic of a child who grew up in the palace.
In contrast, Brother Seven is simple-minded, even a little silly, but he is so cute that people unconsciously want to get close to him and treat him kindly.
There are too many smart people in this deep palace, especially those who think they are smart, but people prefer fools.
Unfortunately, her fifth elder brother is about to grow up to be such a fool.The two little fools are so happy when they get together, apart from eating and playing, they can't hold other things in their eyes.
After entering the house to greet the queen mother and concubine Yi, Yinyou brought Yinhu out of the yard.Yinhu asked him, "Seventh Brother, where shall we go next?"
Yinyou thought for a while and said, "I want to go and see Sixth Brother."
Yinhu bit her lip: "The courtyard where Concubine Niu Gulu lives is far away."
Yinyou raised his head and looked at the gradually darkening sky: "Then I'll take you back to Concubine Hui first."
Yinhu was reluctant to part with him, so he still took his hand: "I'll go with you."
"No need!" To go to the imperial concubine, you will pass by Concubine Hui's residence, Yinyou waved his hand and let Yinhu go in.The latter reluctantly said goodbye to him.
Yinyou walked a long way before arriving at the courtyard where Concubine Niu Colu lived. From afar, he saw a person at the door. It was the sixth elder brother Yinzuo. what to think.
The courtyard is very lively. The imperial concubine Niu Yulu is coaxing the elder brother to call her Er Niang. The child is only nine months old, and the babbling is a bit early. He can only pronounce some monosyllables, but it still makes the people around laugh. laugh.
Yinyou sat beside Sixth Brother, saw his eyes sparkling, and asked him: "Sixth Brother, are you crying?"
Yinzuo wiped his face: "No, I didn't cry!"
Yinyou nodded understandingly: "That means it's a bit windy today."
Yin Zuo turned his head to look at him, a little strange, the courtyard where Concubine Niu Colu lives, Khan Ama is usually not willing to come, only Concubine Yi occasionally comes to have a look, why Yin You suddenly came here.
Yinyou asked the eunuch who helped him carry the food box to come over, took out a lotus cake and handed it to him: "I will bring you delicious snacks."
Yin Zuo curled his lips: "There is only one?"
The implication is that you have the nerve to give one away.
Yinyou pouted: "What's the matter with one, my mother-in-law made it herself, no one else has it, only brothers and sisters have it."
He retracted his hand again: "It's fine if you don't eat it, I will eat it myself."
Yin Zuo reverted to his old ways, and immediately rushed over to snatch the lotus cake from Yin You's hand: "What's the hurry, I didn't say I wouldn't eat it."
Dim sum is not big, even a four or five-year-old child can finish it in a few bites.
Yin Zuo looked at the clouds floating in the sky and sighed again.
Yinyou raised his little hand and slapped him on the shoulder: "If you have anything to say, just say it."
Yin Zuo lowered his head, and his voice suddenly dropped: "I miss my mother-in-law."
Concubine De is now being put aside by Kangxi, her son and daughter have been taken to other palaces to be raised, and she is alone in Yonghe Palace to reflect.Not to mention the palace, he can't even get out of the Yonghe Palace.
Yinyou turned his head and looked into the yard: "Is the imperial concubine treating you badly?"
Yin Zuo shook his head: "Very good."
If Concubine Niu Colu had treated him badly, Yin Zuo would have made a fuss long ago.
After all, they are princes, and all of them are Kangxi's own sons. They are extremely precious. Which concubine dares to treat them slowly.
But, after all, Niu Gulu has his own son to take care of, so it is impossible for him to care too much about the sixth elder brother. On weekdays, the nuns and maids are serving him for basic necessities of life.
When Yinzuo first arrived at Chuxiu Palace, he was called a mischievous and mischievous person, and made a fuss all day long, crying and shouting to go back to Yonghe Palace to find Erniang.
Concubine Niu Colu also went to look for Concubine Huang Guifei because of this, but was sent back by the other party with a few words.
Later, the emperor came again, and happened to meet Yin Zuo messing around in the yard, and the other concubines stood aside to watch the fun, so he gave him a severe scolding, saying that if he was so mischievous again, he would never see De Huo again. Concubine, I will go to study in the study room next year, so I will move directly to elder brother's office.
Only then did Yinzuo calm down, he stopped rolling around, and stopped being mischievous. He just stayed alone every day, missing his mother-in-law, and also missing the days when he was a domineering bully in Yonghe Palace.
He turned his head to look at Yinyou, opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, he just bit his lower lip tightly.
Yinyou was about to go to the yard to pay respects to Concubine Niu Colu, and then went back before dark.
Just as he was about to stand up, Yinzuo pushed him back: "Seventh brother..."
"Huh?" Yinzuo blinked at him with big eyes, "Just say what you have to say."
Yinzuo leaned over and whispered in his ear, "Can you... can you tell the imperial concubine that I will go back to Yonghe Palace and stay with my mother, and I will accompany her to contemplate my mistakes together."
Yinyou thought for a while, this question stumped him.He didn't like Concubine De, not at all, even though Concubine De was pretty and spoke very softly.Although Yinyou couldn't tell why, but Yinyou could feel that her gentleness was just like those singing operas on the stage, they were all disguised by paintings.
He didn't like Sixth Brother before, because Sixth Brother always robbed him of everything, whatever he liked.
But since the sixth brother promised him that he would never rob him or anyone else, he never did anything again. Therefore, although they didn't play together much, they could get along peacefully.
Yinyou suddenly became curious: "Sixth brother, why do you always rob me of things?"
Hearing his question, Yinzuo's melancholy face suddenly showed a blushing expression: "Why is there no reason, can't you like it?"
"Then why don't you steal other people's things?"
Yinzuo turned his head: "No one else has your toys, and besides, others are easy to bully without you."
Yinyou tilted his head to look at him: "Sixth brother, why are you blushing?"
"No blush!"
In fact, what Yin Zuo thought was: "You think I like your torn paper and branches, but I want to snatch them because they are in your hands."
Yinyou would not let him go easily, stretched out his index finger, and poked his blushing cheek: "Here, here, and here, you are blushing, and your ears are also red."
Yin Zuo stood up angrily: "Do you want to help me?"
Yinyou suddenly suppressed his smile and looked at him seriously: "I can't help you."
"why?"
"Because De Concubine made a mistake, she has to accept punishment. Taking you and fifth younger sister away from Yonghe Palace is also her punishment. The time has not yet come, how can I go back?"
Yin Zuo was not convinced, but he didn't know how to refute. After holding back for a long time, his face turned even redder: "Then tell me, when will the time come? It's been a long time."
"It's not long, it's just a few days."
"How could it be only a few days, it has been several years."
Neither of the two children has a precise concept of time, so arguing for a long time will naturally lead to no results.Their voices became louder and louder, which alarmed the people inside. Niu Gulu's family sent the maid out to see what happened to the sixth elder brother, and hurriedly brought them back to wash their hands and prepare for dinner.
However, the court lady brought back two people.
Niu Gulu was very surprised when he saw Yinyou: "Brother Qi, why are you here?"
Yinyou greeted her: "I'm going back now."
"Or, stay and have dinner together."
Yinyou glanced at Yinzuo and refused, "No, Mama Ukuma is still waiting for me."
Since the Empress Dowager is waiting, it is naturally not easy for the imperial concubine to keep him.
Yinyou took two steps, then turned around and looked at Yinzuo: "Then I'll go back and ask my mother."
A smile appeared on Yin Zuo's face, and Yin You immediately added: "I asked about the time."
Yinzuo: "..."
Yinyou is not only very principled, but also very trustworthy.After dinner, the imperial concubine took him for a walk in the garden as usual.
Yinyou remembered the promise he made to Yinzuo: "Emiang, how long will Defei be punished?"
The imperial concubine recalled, at the time it was said that it was half a year, and now it is about two months: "It's more than three months, what's the matter, do you want to intercede for her?"
Yinyou shook his head: "No, I'll inquire for Sixth Brother, he said he wants to go back to Yonghe Palace."
The Yonghe Palace cannot go back for the time being. Although the child was taken away by the imperial concubine, in the final analysis, it is the emperor who has the final say on who will raise the prince and princess.
If Kangxi didn't speak, who would dare to send the child back to her.
Later, the imperial concubine also discussed this matter with Kangxi, and the emperor was more considerate.Concubine De was born in a humble background, and she did not receive any cultural education before entering the palace. What's more, she has bad conduct, so how can she set an example for her children.
Yin Zuoxu is already five years old, and he will be going to school next year, and he won't be able to stay in the harem for long. After returning to the palace, he has to consider the matter of enlightening him.
The imperial concubine asked her son carefully about what happened this afternoon, and she was quite surprised when she learned that he rejected Yinzuo with righteous words. She didn't expect her son to be so principled.
But Yinyou said: "Every time I made a mistake, Ama said that I would not spank my buttocks, and I never fell behind. If I make a mistake, I will be punished, and I can't escape."
The imperial concubine picked a flat stone and sat down, and hugged him up: "My baby has really grown into a big child, and he will learn from one another."
"Of course, Xiaoqi knows a lot now. The third brother still told me today, 'If you don't come, it's indecent; if you come and don't go, it's indecent'."
The imperial concubine smiled and asked him: "Does Xiao Qi want to study now? Just like the brothers."
Yinyou nodded, and nodded helplessly: "Anyway, sooner or later, I have to read it."
"..."
What is this, speaking as if someone is forcing him.
After a good night's sleep, Yinyou almost forgot what he said the night before when he opened his eyes the next day.
What about reading and literacy, let’s talk about it later, even the fifth brother who is one year older has not started reading yet, and there is a sixth brother in the middle, so it will be his turn somewhere.
The little guy continued to play carefree, get close to nature, and was full of curiosity about all the animals and plants he saw. He couldn't stop asking why, and the imperial concubine hated that he didn't have a smart phone with Internet access.
On this day, Kangxi was rarely free from government affairs, and when he had some spare time, he called Nan Huairen to the palace to give him lectures.
I also remembered that Yinyou hadn't attended lectures with him for a long time, so I sent consultants to the Empress Dowager to pick him up.
Perhaps Yinyou hadn't heard Nan Huairen's miraculous experiences for a long time, so he went there happily.
Today, Nan Huairen took out the map he drew ten years ago - "The Complete Map of Kunyu", which is the teaching aid he often gave Kangxi to popularize world geography.
Yinyou has seen it several times before, but the little guy only likes to listen to those stories with twists and turns, and has no interest in the strange lines on the map.
Today, Nan Huairen introduced a plant to Kangxi. It grows in hot and humid places. This plant produces flat seeds with long oval nuts. The oil content is very high, and the fried oil has a unique fragrance. and melting properties.
This kind of tree is called cocoa tree, the seeds are called cocoa beans, and the food made from the squeezed oil is called chocolate, which melts in the mouth, has a rich aroma, and has high nutritional value.
Yinyou's saliva flowed out as he listened, and he almost landed on his Ama's dragon case. Fortunately, the emperor had quick eyesight and quick hands, and lifted his son to the side stool and sat down.
Not to mention his son, Kangxi also became very interested in this kind of food called chocolate. He lowered his head and searched carefully on the map for the areas where the cocoa trees that Nan Huairen mentioned were distributed.
Since then, Yinyou has never forgotten this chocolate, and talked about it in front of the imperial concubine for several days.
The old mother can only look at her son and sigh. Eating a piece of chocolate is such a simple wish, but it is so extravagant in this era.
She told Yinyou: "After the Qing Dynasty lifts the sea ban, we will have trade relations with people from other countries on the other side of the ocean. Maybe someone will bring chocolate."
Yinyou was puzzled: "What is the sea ban?"
The imperial concubine patiently explained to her son: "It is to prohibit foreigners from doing business with us."
Yinyou asked: "Then what is trade?"
"It's about exchanging what we have and what they don't have for what they have but we don't."
Yinyou was very strange: "Isn't this a good thing, why should it be banned?"
"This is a system inherited from the previous dynasty. It was originally intended to prevent Zheng Chenggong from getting in touch with his subordinates in the interior."
Zheng Chenggong Yinyou has heard of it. After all, the recovery of Penghu last year was a major event known to the entire Qing Dynasty.He once met Zheng Keshun and his wife in the South Study Room.
Yinyou asked again: "Then when will the sea ban be lifted?"
The imperial concubine only said two words: "Hurry up."
After regaining Penghu, Kangxi soon officially opened the border, allowing those coastal residents who were forced to relocate by the relocation order around the 18th year of Shunzhi to return to their original places, and specially sent a servant of the Ministry of Officials to Fujian and Guangdong to supervise the matter.
After a year, with the emperor's resolute style of action, it is only a matter of time before the sea ban is lifted.
Yinyou was very happy to hear that, it seems that he can eat chocolate just around the corner.When he jumped up and cheered, the imperial concubine did not forget to remind him: "You can't tell others about this, baby, remember the agreement with Er Niang."
Yinyou nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, Erniang said that you can't tell others, but Xiaoqi never said it."
The Empress Dowager was getting old, and sometimes she couldn't read the words clearly even with reading glasses. At this time, she had to use a magnifying glass. After a while, she got tired and complained that she was old and useless.
Yinyou sat across from him, and was playing with a wind-up toy again. As long as he held this kind of toy with a mechanical device, he couldn't control his hands, and always wanted to take it apart to have a look.
"Whoever said that old people are useless, my Ukumama is amazing."
The Empress Dowager looked at him with a smile: "Nonsense, Mama Ukuma is already at this age, how can she be amazing?"
The little guy didn't raise his head: "I think many empresses in the palace are inferior to Ukumama."
"Oh," the Empress Dowager put the book and magnifying glass on the table, "how did you say that?"
"Sigh, they are illiterate just like me. Aunt Ukuma can speak Manchu, Chinese and Mongolian, which is amazing!" After he finished speaking, he thought for a while, "Madam Su is also amazing. Yes, he is my first teacher, Amma."
The two old ladies laughed out loud after being teased by him, and their mood suddenly improved.
Yinyou took the magnifying glass, looked at his toys, looked at the toys, then looked at the white teacup on the table, and looked at the colored glaze patterns burned on it.That serious little appearance looks like that.
The Empress Dowager asked him: "Do you understand?"
Yinyou nodded: "It looks good!"
He took a magnifying glass and looked here and there, as if he had discovered a new world.
But after a while, people have already arrived in the yard, from the flowers and plants, to the flying insects on the leaves, a group of ants crawling on the ground, to the braids of the little eunuch hanging behind...everything is missed one by one.
Looking at the things in front of him is not enough, he held up the magnifying glass in front of his eyes, and began to look at farther places, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't see clearly whether it was the sparrows on the treetops or the roofs in the distance.
Finally, on a whim, the little guy pointed the magnifying glass at the sun.
But the next moment, he received a solid slap on the buttocks: "Bear boy, do you still want your eyes?"
"Yes," the bear boy retorted while clutching his buttocks, "why not?"
The imperial concubine pointed to the magnifying glass and showed him: "It's thick in the middle and thin on both sides. What's that called?"
"It's called a magnifying glass!"
"..."
Teacher Tong used a set of questions, but who knows that his son has learned to answer quickly.She was angry and funny: "This is called a convex lens. It can gather light and converge to a point through the refraction of the convex lens. The light will be very concentrated and have high energy. It will hurt your eyes. Do you understand?"
The preschool children had a half-knowledge of this optical physics knowledge, nodded and shook their heads again.
So, the imperial concubine brought a dry leaf and took her son to do an experiment.
She aimed the magnifying glass at the sun, let the point where the light focused fall on the dead leaves, and then handed the magnifying glass to her son to hold it firmly, and then it was the moment to witness the miracle.
After a while, white smoke rose from the point where the light gathered, and then the dead leaves burned.
The imperial concubine took the water from Bai Lu and extinguished the fire: "See, what would happen if the leaves were your eyes?"
The little guy was stunned, his eyes were wide open, and his mouth was also wide open. He was extremely scared and excited: "Then will my eyes burn too?"
"That's not necessarily true, but maybe I won't be able to see anything in the future."
Yinyou immediately covered his eyes with his hands: "Can't you even see Erniang?"
"Yes, I can't even see Er Niang." The imperial concubine said dryly, she raised her head and drank the remaining half glass of water in the quilt.
At this moment, Yinyou suddenly rushed over and hugged his leg: "No, my mother-in-law looks so good-looking, I want to see my mother-in-law every day!"
"Cough, cough, cough..." The imperial concubine clutched her handkerchief, choking so hard that her tears almost came down, "Bear boy!!!"
Although the summer vacation in the palace is boring, Yinyou can always find some fresh fun for himself.
When he first came here, he picked up a group of tadpoles from the edge of the pond and raised them in the yard for a while. The tadpoles first grew back legs, and now even the front legs have grown.
So, Yinyou came to the garden with a bucket and poured them all into the big pond: "Go, go and find your mother-in-law."
Yinqi, Yinzuo, Yinhu, who were not in school, and the three and four princesses gathered around to watch the excitement.These princes and princesses who grew up in the deep palace have never seen the growth and change process of other species, and they have a heated discussion about who the mother of the little tadpole is.
Yin Qi said: "It's a koi, the little tadpole's mother must be a koi."
Yinhu nodded seriously: "Fifth brother makes sense."
"No, no," Yin Zuo retorted, "The koi is red, and the little tadpole is black, so the tadpole's mother must be a black carp."
Yinhu suddenly realized and nodded again: "Sixth brother also makes sense."
The third princess said: "You are all wrong, the tadpoles have legs, and the carp has not retreated, so their mothers should be crabs."
Yinhu nodded thoughtfully again: "What the third sister said seems to make sense."
Yinyou snickered at the side: "You are all wrong, it took a lot of effort for the little tadpole to find Erniang."
Everyone said that they really couldn't guess who the little tadpole's mother was, so I asked the seventh brother to quickly announce the correct answer.
Yinyou stood among the brothers and sisters, and began to tell stories to everyone vividly: "One day, a group of happy little tadpoles were swimming in the pond. My mother-in-law."
"But they had never seen Er Niang before, so they didn't know what their Er Niang looked like, so they went to ask Eunuch Xia."
The little guy has a great talent for storytelling, with both voice and emotion, and his brothers and sisters sat in a circle around him, and quickly entered the context of the story.
"Elder Shrimp said, your Erniang has a white belly. The little tadpoles searched and searched, and found a turtle with a white belly. So the little tadpoles came forward and shouted 'Erniang, Erniang, Are you my mother-in-law'."
Speaking of this, everyone pricked up their ears, thinking: "Oh, it turns out that the tortoise is the mother of the little tadpole."
Yinyou went on to talk: "So, he shook his head, opened his mouth and swallowed all the tadpoles, and said, 'Ah, it smells so good!'."
"!!!"
He was so focused that he didn't realize that there were two people approaching quietly behind him.
"Brother, eat..." Before Yinyou could finish his sentence, he saw Yinzhen frowned, sat up straight, and looked behind him.
The little guy tilted his head strangely, and was about to turn around, when suddenly, a hand pressed against his shoulder with great strength.
Before he could react to what was going on, another hand pressed on his right shoulder again, although the strength was not strong, but it was firm - it was obviously not a person's hand.
Yinzhen didn't even think about eating lotus flower cakes, so he quickly put down his book, grabbed his brother's little hand, and refused to let go.
Yinyou: "!!!"
Yinhu on the side opened his mouth and looked at Seventh Brother surrounded by three people. He felt that the delicate atmosphere in the air was about to condense into substance, and he was so overwhelmed that he couldn't breathe. He instinctively covered his mouth with his hand .
Yinyou was very calm, he didn't realize what happened...or what was going to happen.
So, he raised his head and looked to the left, and saw the eldest brother who had gone and returned, with a look of impatience on his face.
Then, he turned his head and looked to the right. The elder brother of the prince frowned, his smile froze on his face, and his expression was a little annoyed.
Yinzhen held his younger brother's hand, refusing to let go.It is well known that the prince and elder brother have always been at odds.He always felt that these two elder brothers had malicious intentions and wanted to make use of his younger brother.
Seeing Xiaotuanzi, the prince was in a good mood at first, but who knows, just as he walked into the study, the elder brother followed him in.Every time something happens, as long as the boss joins in, nothing good will happen.
The big elder brother went back and forth originally to get the copybook, but he changed his mind when he saw the prince.That little bun is so cute, how could only the prince like it.
The prince pulled Yinyou to his side, with a doting smile on his face, and asked in a soft voice: "Xiao Qi, I haven't seen brother Prince for a long time, do you want to play with me?"
Of course Yinyou wanted to go, the elder brother of the prince was very kind to him, he would order the kitchen to cook his favorite dishes and snacks, and he would also give him toys.
However, before he could speak, on the other side, the elder brother tugged him again, and Yinyou's body involuntarily tilted to the left: "The lotus cake tastes good, and the imperial concubine's craftsmanship is very good, but the cook who makes dim sum in my place The craftsmanship is not bad either. In the past two days, I have improved the recipe of Yunpian Cake, do Xiao Qi want to try it?"
Of course I wanted to, Yinyou never forgot about eating the Yunpian Cake from Big Brother once, and he even mentioned it to the imperial concubine a few times, hoping that Erniang could make it too.
The prince was not convinced, and pulled Xiaotuanzi to his side: "Ama Khan recently gave you a new Western gadget, and I haven't had time to send someone to deliver it to you. Just in time, you go and get it yourself."
Eldest elder brother immediately made a move and brought Yinyou to him. He was older than the prince, and on weekdays he valued martial arts rather than culture.
"Don't you want to be Batulu? Batulu is nothing if you don't know kung fu. Let's go, big brother will teach you!"
Yinyou: "..."
He was swayed like this, his hands were still tightly held by Yinzhen, and he felt that he was about to be torn into three pieces by them.
Yinhu stood aside, with a rich expression on his face. He looked at the prince and elder brother with respect and fear, and wanted to rush to rescue his seventh brother, but seeing the expression on Yinzhen's face, he wanted to hide. farther away.
How to do it?How to do it?
Ah, it seems that the brothers love Seventh Brother very much, so... why don't you just stand by and watch obediently.
"Oh, oh!" Yinyou struggled twice, "My shoulder hurts so much."
The prince kicked at the big brother: "Let go!"
The elder brother stared back unceremoniously: "Why don't you let go?"
Yinyou shouted: "Let go, both of you!" He looked at his brother tearfully, "You let go too."
So the three of them were startled by Xiaotuanzi's crying cry, and they let go of their hands in a tacit understanding.
Yinyou pouted, glanced at the prince, then at the elder brother, and finally at the lotus cake in his hand.
He asked the elder brother: "Do you want to eat?"
Although the imperial concubine is very good at cooking, the elder brother has always disliked sweets, and it's almost enough to try one, but he doesn't really want it very much.
But the person who asked him was the little bun with thin skin and stuffing in front of him, so he nodded, and just about to say "it's okay to eat another one", but Yinyou withdrew his hand.
The little guy seemed to remember something, and immediately withdrew his hand: "You have already eaten one, this is my brother's."
Big brother: "..."
Yinyou couldn't help saying, stepped forward and stuffed the lotus cake into Yinzhen's mouth: "Eat it quickly! Otherwise, big brother will snatch it!"
"???"
The big elder brother roared in his heart: "Am I as good as that? Grab food with my younger brother."
Yinzhen's younger brother stuffed his mouth full of lotus flower crisps. The outside of the thing was puff pastry, and his mouth was full after one bite, and the inside was filled with sweet lotus seed paste.
He was just a child under the age of six, and he almost choked to death when he was stuffed into a whole piece of lotus puff pastry.
But Yinzhen was still very happy in his heart. The prince and elder brother were at war for his younger brother, but the little guy was still thinking about himself at the first moment. The feeling in his heart was much sweeter than the lotus in his mouth.
Yinyou freed his hands, rubbed his two shoulders first, and thought: "Brother's strength is really great. Could this be the strength of Batulu? Then I have to practice hard and surpass him in the future!"
Then he walked to the side of the eunuch, took out another lotus cake from inside, and handed it to the prince: "Brother prince also eats it, Xiaoqi specially left it for you!"
The brothers all looked at him, this little guy was dragged around by the three brothers for a long time, but he still hasn't forgotten his mission on this trip - to deliver snacks to the brothers, and insist on fair distribution, one for each person!
Yinhu looked at him, and wanted to ask Brother Seven, did you miss the point, now they are not fighting for lotus cakes, but you.
Yinyou is a kid with his own ideas. He first walked up to the stage and hugged the Prince's leg: "Brother Prince, please don't give your toys to others. Xiaoqi will come and play with you tomorrow."
The prince was so cute by his actions, he patted his head and said, "Okay, I'll keep it for you."
After speaking, he rushed over to find Yinzhen: "Er Niang told you to come over to have dinner tonight, don't forget it!"
Yinzhen smiled and took his little hand: "Okay!"
In the end, he passed by the elder brother, raised his head to look at him, bit his lower lip and asked, "Do you keep your word?"
The elder brother raised his chin proudly: "Of course it counts!"
Yinyou stood on tiptoe and wanted to pat his elder brother on the shoulder, but he couldn't reach it, so he could only pat him on the chest: "Then I will go to you to learn kung fu in two days."
"Oh..." Big brother touched his chest, and was about to die laughing at his stepping.
Yinyou called for a suitable eunuch, and then took Yinhu's hand: "Let's go, let's send lotus cakes to Brother Wu."
Yinti, Yinreng and Yinzhen looked at each other behind him: "The little guy still has lotus cakes!"
The two brothers came to the place where the queen mother lived. It was a cool day today. The fifth elder brother was playing in the yard, and the ninth elder brother was also there.
This made Yinyou so worried, he took a peek outside the yard, and there were only two pieces of lotus cake left, and he wanted to save one piece for Sixth Brother.
Yinqi saw him from a long distance, jumped up and waved to him: "Seventh brother and seventh brother, come in quickly! Oh, eighth brother is here too!"
Yinyou led Yinhu into the yard, took out lotus cakes from the food box, and was about to pass them to Yinyou, when a babbling sound came from beside him.
Ninth elder brother Yinzhen, before he learned to speak, he had already learned to eat.He was held in the arms of the nanny, and he leaned desperately towards Yinyou's direction, stretching out his little paws to grab the lotus cake in his hand.
Yinyou tilted his head to look at him, and asked the nanny for a handkerchief to help him wipe his saliva: "Look, the child is so hungry, you must be starving, Seventh brother feed you."
The grandma was frightened by him, she took a few steps back holding the child: "Seventh brother, you can't help it, ninth brother can't eat these now, it's a big deal if you choke!"
The lotus cake in Yinyou's hand swayed around in front of Yinzhen's small mouth and nose, then shrank back, speaking in a gloating tone: "You can't eat it yet, Brother Seven will feed you when you grow up."
Yinzhen has been ten months old. Although she can't speak, she can already express her thoughts with other actions. With a "wow", she burst into tears, kicking and kicking non-stop, trying to rush over to grab that piece of lotus flower cake , Xiao Shouha almost caught his seventh brother's nose.
It's not hard to see that at such a young age, Brother Jiu already has the potential to be a brat.
Yinqi ran over and stroked his younger brother's head. The child hadn't shaved his head yet, and his hair was so limp that it felt like touching a kitten or puppy: "Don't cry, don't cry, if you cry again, fifth brother will beat you up .”
He said the most hated words in the cutest tone, and Yinzhen immediately shut up, looking at them both helplessly, not daring to say anything more.
Yinyou handed the lotus cake to Yinqi, and the latter enjoyed his summer dessert one bite at a time under the watchful eye of his younger brother with tears in his eyes.
Concubine Yi came out of the room when she heard the cry of the child, and happened to see Yinyou, Yinqi, and Yinhu, three elder brothers of similar age, talking and laughing, while Yinyu was sucking her finger pitifully beside her, with a smile on her face. tear stains.
Yinyou was standing with his back to the main hall, and didn't notice that Concubine Yi came out, but Yinhu, who was standing opposite him, saw it and vigilantly gave his seventh brother a wink, but Yinyou was still talking to Yinqi vividly The story of how I dismantled the toy and how I put it back together under Ama's guidance.
Yinhu walked up to Yinhu, wiped away the tears on his face, and coaxed: "Ninth brother, good boy, don't cry."
Concubine Yi smiled without saying anything, put down the curtain and entered the room again.
The eighth elder brother has a keen mind and sees all directions, which is very characteristic of a child who grew up in the palace.
In contrast, Brother Seven is simple-minded, even a little silly, but he is so cute that people unconsciously want to get close to him and treat him kindly.
There are too many smart people in this deep palace, especially those who think they are smart, but people prefer fools.
Unfortunately, her fifth elder brother is about to grow up to be such a fool.The two little fools are so happy when they get together, apart from eating and playing, they can't hold other things in their eyes.
After entering the house to greet the queen mother and concubine Yi, Yinyou brought Yinhu out of the yard.Yinhu asked him, "Seventh Brother, where shall we go next?"
Yinyou thought for a while and said, "I want to go and see Sixth Brother."
Yinhu bit her lip: "The courtyard where Concubine Niu Gulu lives is far away."
Yinyou raised his head and looked at the gradually darkening sky: "Then I'll take you back to Concubine Hui first."
Yinhu was reluctant to part with him, so he still took his hand: "I'll go with you."
"No need!" To go to the imperial concubine, you will pass by Concubine Hui's residence, Yinyou waved his hand and let Yinhu go in.The latter reluctantly said goodbye to him.
Yinyou walked a long way before arriving at the courtyard where Concubine Niu Colu lived. From afar, he saw a person at the door. It was the sixth elder brother Yinzuo. what to think.
The courtyard is very lively. The imperial concubine Niu Yulu is coaxing the elder brother to call her Er Niang. The child is only nine months old, and the babbling is a bit early. He can only pronounce some monosyllables, but it still makes the people around laugh. laugh.
Yinyou sat beside Sixth Brother, saw his eyes sparkling, and asked him: "Sixth Brother, are you crying?"
Yinzuo wiped his face: "No, I didn't cry!"
Yinyou nodded understandingly: "That means it's a bit windy today."
Yin Zuo turned his head to look at him, a little strange, the courtyard where Concubine Niu Colu lives, Khan Ama is usually not willing to come, only Concubine Yi occasionally comes to have a look, why Yin You suddenly came here.
Yinyou asked the eunuch who helped him carry the food box to come over, took out a lotus cake and handed it to him: "I will bring you delicious snacks."
Yin Zuo curled his lips: "There is only one?"
The implication is that you have the nerve to give one away.
Yinyou pouted: "What's the matter with one, my mother-in-law made it herself, no one else has it, only brothers and sisters have it."
He retracted his hand again: "It's fine if you don't eat it, I will eat it myself."
Yin Zuo reverted to his old ways, and immediately rushed over to snatch the lotus cake from Yin You's hand: "What's the hurry, I didn't say I wouldn't eat it."
Dim sum is not big, even a four or five-year-old child can finish it in a few bites.
Yin Zuo looked at the clouds floating in the sky and sighed again.
Yinyou raised his little hand and slapped him on the shoulder: "If you have anything to say, just say it."
Yin Zuo lowered his head, and his voice suddenly dropped: "I miss my mother-in-law."
Concubine De is now being put aside by Kangxi, her son and daughter have been taken to other palaces to be raised, and she is alone in Yonghe Palace to reflect.Not to mention the palace, he can't even get out of the Yonghe Palace.
Yinyou turned his head and looked into the yard: "Is the imperial concubine treating you badly?"
Yin Zuo shook his head: "Very good."
If Concubine Niu Colu had treated him badly, Yin Zuo would have made a fuss long ago.
After all, they are princes, and all of them are Kangxi's own sons. They are extremely precious. Which concubine dares to treat them slowly.
But, after all, Niu Gulu has his own son to take care of, so it is impossible for him to care too much about the sixth elder brother. On weekdays, the nuns and maids are serving him for basic necessities of life.
When Yinzuo first arrived at Chuxiu Palace, he was called a mischievous and mischievous person, and made a fuss all day long, crying and shouting to go back to Yonghe Palace to find Erniang.
Concubine Niu Colu also went to look for Concubine Huang Guifei because of this, but was sent back by the other party with a few words.
Later, the emperor came again, and happened to meet Yin Zuo messing around in the yard, and the other concubines stood aside to watch the fun, so he gave him a severe scolding, saying that if he was so mischievous again, he would never see De Huo again. Concubine, I will go to study in the study room next year, so I will move directly to elder brother's office.
Only then did Yinzuo calm down, he stopped rolling around, and stopped being mischievous. He just stayed alone every day, missing his mother-in-law, and also missing the days when he was a domineering bully in Yonghe Palace.
He turned his head to look at Yinyou, opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, he just bit his lower lip tightly.
Yinyou was about to go to the yard to pay respects to Concubine Niu Colu, and then went back before dark.
Just as he was about to stand up, Yinzuo pushed him back: "Seventh brother..."
"Huh?" Yinzuo blinked at him with big eyes, "Just say what you have to say."
Yinzuo leaned over and whispered in his ear, "Can you... can you tell the imperial concubine that I will go back to Yonghe Palace and stay with my mother, and I will accompany her to contemplate my mistakes together."
Yinyou thought for a while, this question stumped him.He didn't like Concubine De, not at all, even though Concubine De was pretty and spoke very softly.Although Yinyou couldn't tell why, but Yinyou could feel that her gentleness was just like those singing operas on the stage, they were all disguised by paintings.
He didn't like Sixth Brother before, because Sixth Brother always robbed him of everything, whatever he liked.
But since the sixth brother promised him that he would never rob him or anyone else, he never did anything again. Therefore, although they didn't play together much, they could get along peacefully.
Yinyou suddenly became curious: "Sixth brother, why do you always rob me of things?"
Hearing his question, Yinzuo's melancholy face suddenly showed a blushing expression: "Why is there no reason, can't you like it?"
"Then why don't you steal other people's things?"
Yinzuo turned his head: "No one else has your toys, and besides, others are easy to bully without you."
Yinyou tilted his head to look at him: "Sixth brother, why are you blushing?"
"No blush!"
In fact, what Yin Zuo thought was: "You think I like your torn paper and branches, but I want to snatch them because they are in your hands."
Yinyou would not let him go easily, stretched out his index finger, and poked his blushing cheek: "Here, here, and here, you are blushing, and your ears are also red."
Yin Zuo stood up angrily: "Do you want to help me?"
Yinyou suddenly suppressed his smile and looked at him seriously: "I can't help you."
"why?"
"Because De Concubine made a mistake, she has to accept punishment. Taking you and fifth younger sister away from Yonghe Palace is also her punishment. The time has not yet come, how can I go back?"
Yin Zuo was not convinced, but he didn't know how to refute. After holding back for a long time, his face turned even redder: "Then tell me, when will the time come? It's been a long time."
"It's not long, it's just a few days."
"How could it be only a few days, it has been several years."
Neither of the two children has a precise concept of time, so arguing for a long time will naturally lead to no results.Their voices became louder and louder, which alarmed the people inside. Niu Gulu's family sent the maid out to see what happened to the sixth elder brother, and hurriedly brought them back to wash their hands and prepare for dinner.
However, the court lady brought back two people.
Niu Gulu was very surprised when he saw Yinyou: "Brother Qi, why are you here?"
Yinyou greeted her: "I'm going back now."
"Or, stay and have dinner together."
Yinyou glanced at Yinzuo and refused, "No, Mama Ukuma is still waiting for me."
Since the Empress Dowager is waiting, it is naturally not easy for the imperial concubine to keep him.
Yinyou took two steps, then turned around and looked at Yinzuo: "Then I'll go back and ask my mother."
A smile appeared on Yin Zuo's face, and Yin You immediately added: "I asked about the time."
Yinzuo: "..."
Yinyou is not only very principled, but also very trustworthy.After dinner, the imperial concubine took him for a walk in the garden as usual.
Yinyou remembered the promise he made to Yinzuo: "Emiang, how long will Defei be punished?"
The imperial concubine recalled, at the time it was said that it was half a year, and now it is about two months: "It's more than three months, what's the matter, do you want to intercede for her?"
Yinyou shook his head: "No, I'll inquire for Sixth Brother, he said he wants to go back to Yonghe Palace."
The Yonghe Palace cannot go back for the time being. Although the child was taken away by the imperial concubine, in the final analysis, it is the emperor who has the final say on who will raise the prince and princess.
If Kangxi didn't speak, who would dare to send the child back to her.
Later, the imperial concubine also discussed this matter with Kangxi, and the emperor was more considerate.Concubine De was born in a humble background, and she did not receive any cultural education before entering the palace. What's more, she has bad conduct, so how can she set an example for her children.
Yin Zuoxu is already five years old, and he will be going to school next year, and he won't be able to stay in the harem for long. After returning to the palace, he has to consider the matter of enlightening him.
The imperial concubine asked her son carefully about what happened this afternoon, and she was quite surprised when she learned that he rejected Yinzuo with righteous words. She didn't expect her son to be so principled.
But Yinyou said: "Every time I made a mistake, Ama said that I would not spank my buttocks, and I never fell behind. If I make a mistake, I will be punished, and I can't escape."
The imperial concubine picked a flat stone and sat down, and hugged him up: "My baby has really grown into a big child, and he will learn from one another."
"Of course, Xiaoqi knows a lot now. The third brother still told me today, 'If you don't come, it's indecent; if you come and don't go, it's indecent'."
The imperial concubine smiled and asked him: "Does Xiao Qi want to study now? Just like the brothers."
Yinyou nodded, and nodded helplessly: "Anyway, sooner or later, I have to read it."
"..."
What is this, speaking as if someone is forcing him.
After a good night's sleep, Yinyou almost forgot what he said the night before when he opened his eyes the next day.
What about reading and literacy, let’s talk about it later, even the fifth brother who is one year older has not started reading yet, and there is a sixth brother in the middle, so it will be his turn somewhere.
The little guy continued to play carefree, get close to nature, and was full of curiosity about all the animals and plants he saw. He couldn't stop asking why, and the imperial concubine hated that he didn't have a smart phone with Internet access.
On this day, Kangxi was rarely free from government affairs, and when he had some spare time, he called Nan Huairen to the palace to give him lectures.
I also remembered that Yinyou hadn't attended lectures with him for a long time, so I sent consultants to the Empress Dowager to pick him up.
Perhaps Yinyou hadn't heard Nan Huairen's miraculous experiences for a long time, so he went there happily.
Today, Nan Huairen took out the map he drew ten years ago - "The Complete Map of Kunyu", which is the teaching aid he often gave Kangxi to popularize world geography.
Yinyou has seen it several times before, but the little guy only likes to listen to those stories with twists and turns, and has no interest in the strange lines on the map.
Today, Nan Huairen introduced a plant to Kangxi. It grows in hot and humid places. This plant produces flat seeds with long oval nuts. The oil content is very high, and the fried oil has a unique fragrance. and melting properties.
This kind of tree is called cocoa tree, the seeds are called cocoa beans, and the food made from the squeezed oil is called chocolate, which melts in the mouth, has a rich aroma, and has high nutritional value.
Yinyou's saliva flowed out as he listened, and he almost landed on his Ama's dragon case. Fortunately, the emperor had quick eyesight and quick hands, and lifted his son to the side stool and sat down.
Not to mention his son, Kangxi also became very interested in this kind of food called chocolate. He lowered his head and searched carefully on the map for the areas where the cocoa trees that Nan Huairen mentioned were distributed.
Since then, Yinyou has never forgotten this chocolate, and talked about it in front of the imperial concubine for several days.
The old mother can only look at her son and sigh. Eating a piece of chocolate is such a simple wish, but it is so extravagant in this era.
She told Yinyou: "After the Qing Dynasty lifts the sea ban, we will have trade relations with people from other countries on the other side of the ocean. Maybe someone will bring chocolate."
Yinyou was puzzled: "What is the sea ban?"
The imperial concubine patiently explained to her son: "It is to prohibit foreigners from doing business with us."
Yinyou asked: "Then what is trade?"
"It's about exchanging what we have and what they don't have for what they have but we don't."
Yinyou was very strange: "Isn't this a good thing, why should it be banned?"
"This is a system inherited from the previous dynasty. It was originally intended to prevent Zheng Chenggong from getting in touch with his subordinates in the interior."
Zheng Chenggong Yinyou has heard of it. After all, the recovery of Penghu last year was a major event known to the entire Qing Dynasty.He once met Zheng Keshun and his wife in the South Study Room.
Yinyou asked again: "Then when will the sea ban be lifted?"
The imperial concubine only said two words: "Hurry up."
After regaining Penghu, Kangxi soon officially opened the border, allowing those coastal residents who were forced to relocate by the relocation order around the 18th year of Shunzhi to return to their original places, and specially sent a servant of the Ministry of Officials to Fujian and Guangdong to supervise the matter.
After a year, with the emperor's resolute style of action, it is only a matter of time before the sea ban is lifted.
Yinyou was very happy to hear that, it seems that he can eat chocolate just around the corner.When he jumped up and cheered, the imperial concubine did not forget to remind him: "You can't tell others about this, baby, remember the agreement with Er Niang."
Yinyou nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, Erniang said that you can't tell others, but Xiaoqi never said it."
The Empress Dowager was getting old, and sometimes she couldn't read the words clearly even with reading glasses. At this time, she had to use a magnifying glass. After a while, she got tired and complained that she was old and useless.
Yinyou sat across from him, and was playing with a wind-up toy again. As long as he held this kind of toy with a mechanical device, he couldn't control his hands, and always wanted to take it apart to have a look.
"Whoever said that old people are useless, my Ukumama is amazing."
The Empress Dowager looked at him with a smile: "Nonsense, Mama Ukuma is already at this age, how can she be amazing?"
The little guy didn't raise his head: "I think many empresses in the palace are inferior to Ukumama."
"Oh," the Empress Dowager put the book and magnifying glass on the table, "how did you say that?"
"Sigh, they are illiterate just like me. Aunt Ukuma can speak Manchu, Chinese and Mongolian, which is amazing!" After he finished speaking, he thought for a while, "Madam Su is also amazing. Yes, he is my first teacher, Amma."
The two old ladies laughed out loud after being teased by him, and their mood suddenly improved.
Yinyou took the magnifying glass, looked at his toys, looked at the toys, then looked at the white teacup on the table, and looked at the colored glaze patterns burned on it.That serious little appearance looks like that.
The Empress Dowager asked him: "Do you understand?"
Yinyou nodded: "It looks good!"
He took a magnifying glass and looked here and there, as if he had discovered a new world.
But after a while, people have already arrived in the yard, from the flowers and plants, to the flying insects on the leaves, a group of ants crawling on the ground, to the braids of the little eunuch hanging behind...everything is missed one by one.
Looking at the things in front of him is not enough, he held up the magnifying glass in front of his eyes, and began to look at farther places, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't see clearly whether it was the sparrows on the treetops or the roofs in the distance.
Finally, on a whim, the little guy pointed the magnifying glass at the sun.
But the next moment, he received a solid slap on the buttocks: "Bear boy, do you still want your eyes?"
"Yes," the bear boy retorted while clutching his buttocks, "why not?"
The imperial concubine pointed to the magnifying glass and showed him: "It's thick in the middle and thin on both sides. What's that called?"
"It's called a magnifying glass!"
"..."
Teacher Tong used a set of questions, but who knows that his son has learned to answer quickly.She was angry and funny: "This is called a convex lens. It can gather light and converge to a point through the refraction of the convex lens. The light will be very concentrated and have high energy. It will hurt your eyes. Do you understand?"
The preschool children had a half-knowledge of this optical physics knowledge, nodded and shook their heads again.
So, the imperial concubine brought a dry leaf and took her son to do an experiment.
She aimed the magnifying glass at the sun, let the point where the light focused fall on the dead leaves, and then handed the magnifying glass to her son to hold it firmly, and then it was the moment to witness the miracle.
After a while, white smoke rose from the point where the light gathered, and then the dead leaves burned.
The imperial concubine took the water from Bai Lu and extinguished the fire: "See, what would happen if the leaves were your eyes?"
The little guy was stunned, his eyes were wide open, and his mouth was also wide open. He was extremely scared and excited: "Then will my eyes burn too?"
"That's not necessarily true, but maybe I won't be able to see anything in the future."
Yinyou immediately covered his eyes with his hands: "Can't you even see Erniang?"
"Yes, I can't even see Er Niang." The imperial concubine said dryly, she raised her head and drank the remaining half glass of water in the quilt.
At this moment, Yinyou suddenly rushed over and hugged his leg: "No, my mother-in-law looks so good-looking, I want to see my mother-in-law every day!"
"Cough, cough, cough..." The imperial concubine clutched her handkerchief, choking so hard that her tears almost came down, "Bear boy!!!"
Although the summer vacation in the palace is boring, Yinyou can always find some fresh fun for himself.
When he first came here, he picked up a group of tadpoles from the edge of the pond and raised them in the yard for a while. The tadpoles first grew back legs, and now even the front legs have grown.
So, Yinyou came to the garden with a bucket and poured them all into the big pond: "Go, go and find your mother-in-law."
Yinqi, Yinzuo, Yinhu, who were not in school, and the three and four princesses gathered around to watch the excitement.These princes and princesses who grew up in the deep palace have never seen the growth and change process of other species, and they have a heated discussion about who the mother of the little tadpole is.
Yin Qi said: "It's a koi, the little tadpole's mother must be a koi."
Yinhu nodded seriously: "Fifth brother makes sense."
"No, no," Yin Zuo retorted, "The koi is red, and the little tadpole is black, so the tadpole's mother must be a black carp."
Yinhu suddenly realized and nodded again: "Sixth brother also makes sense."
The third princess said: "You are all wrong, the tadpoles have legs, and the carp has not retreated, so their mothers should be crabs."
Yinhu nodded thoughtfully again: "What the third sister said seems to make sense."
Yinyou snickered at the side: "You are all wrong, it took a lot of effort for the little tadpole to find Erniang."
Everyone said that they really couldn't guess who the little tadpole's mother was, so I asked the seventh brother to quickly announce the correct answer.
Yinyou stood among the brothers and sisters, and began to tell stories to everyone vividly: "One day, a group of happy little tadpoles were swimming in the pond. My mother-in-law."
"But they had never seen Er Niang before, so they didn't know what their Er Niang looked like, so they went to ask Eunuch Xia."
The little guy has a great talent for storytelling, with both voice and emotion, and his brothers and sisters sat in a circle around him, and quickly entered the context of the story.
"Elder Shrimp said, your Erniang has a white belly. The little tadpoles searched and searched, and found a turtle with a white belly. So the little tadpoles came forward and shouted 'Erniang, Erniang, Are you my mother-in-law'."
Speaking of this, everyone pricked up their ears, thinking: "Oh, it turns out that the tortoise is the mother of the little tadpole."
Yinyou went on to talk: "So, he shook his head, opened his mouth and swallowed all the tadpoles, and said, 'Ah, it smells so good!'."
"!!!"
