The family banquet was very lively, the harem concubines gathered together to compete for splendor, competition, beauty, and children... Those concubines who have no status and no children are even qualified to visit the empress dowager and the empress dowager on weekdays. No, I can't see the emperor all year round, so I can only try my best to show it at the banquet.
Everyone exchanged cups with their own ideas and goals. The princes and princesses either bowed their heads to taste the delicious food, or sat quietly beside the mother, or were taken to the empress dowager and the empress dowager to say hello... Generally speaking, the banquet is here In the second half, they have the opportunity to move freely.
Now Yinyou doesn't need Li Xi or Nanny Sun to feed him. Although he is not very flexible with chopsticks, he can already use a spoon to eat skillfully.
He lowered his head to take a bite and raised his head to look at the prince's brother. He saw that the prince's brother was talking beside Ukumama, and then returned to his position, and saw Ama bowed his head and said something to him. .
Brother Prince always has a smile on his face when he talks to others, but the smile on his face disappears when he sits down.
Yinyou lowered his head and took a mouthful of Dongpo meat, then raised his head, but his sight was blocked by someone.
He looked up along the man's chest, and saw Sixth Brother's frowning expression.
"Six...six brothers!" Yinyou's hands trembled, and the piece of Dongpo meat that he bit into on the spoon fell back into the bowl.
Yin Zuo lowered his head, just in time to see this scene.Yinyou smiled awkwardly, and kept the bowl in front of him calmly: "You, you, you, don't you have it yourself?"
Yinzuo couldn't help but say, his buttocks fell down and took up half of his cushion, and the two children squeezed together.
Yinyou gave himself a moment of psychological construction, and finally pushed the bowl over generously: "Why don't I give you a bite?"
Yin Zuo turned his head aside: "Whoever wants to eat your food, you can eat it yourself."
"Huhu..." Yinyou's hand seemed to be equipped with a spring, just stretched out and then retracted, he breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, that's good."
He lowered his head, opened his mouth as wide as possible, and stuffed all the remaining Dongpo meat into his mouth in one gulp. His cheeks were bulging, chewing and chewing, chewing and chewing...the meat was too big, and his mouth was too small. He couldn't chew or swallow for a long time, thick gravy overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and his pink cheeks shook up and down with his difficult chewing movements, it was so cute.
Yin Zuo was not at all cute by him, instead his brows became more and more wrinkled, his eyes even looked a little disgusted, but finally he reached out his hand helplessly and patted him on the back: "Eat slowly, I won't follow you Rob."
Yinyou: "..."
Under the continuous efforts of the two brothers who patted their backs vigorously and chewed vigorously, Yinyou could chew the piece of meat in his mouth and swallowed it.
On the other side, Yinhu slipped over at some unknown time, picked up the soup bowl on the side and handed it to him: "Come on, Brother Seven, take a sip of the soup."
The soup is also Yinyou's favorite, Longjing bamboo fungus stewed chicken, after a big mouthful, the little guy is quite satisfied.
Yinhu took the handkerchief again and handed it to him: "Wipe."
Yinyou took it and wiped his mouth: "Thank you eighth brother!"
Yinhu smiled sweetly at him, and went to touch his head with him, and the two little guys got together to whisper.
Yinzuo annoyed the two of them to death, no one cared about his own worries.He stood up to leave, but a hand grabbed his robe: "Sixth brother, what do you want from me?"
"It's gone now." Yin Zuo pulled back his clothes from his hand and continued to walk back.Yinyou and Yinhu, one on the left and the other on the right, pressed him on the mat again.
Yinyou said: "There must be, I can see it."
Yin Zuo looked up at him: "You foodie, you only have food in your eyes, what can you see?"
"I see that you have something on your mind." Yinyou sat beside him, "You came to see me because you have something to tell me."
Yinzuo sighed: "I want to find my mother-in-law."
Concubine De sat at the back of the concubines on the other side. The mother and son looked at each other from a distance across the diagonal, and they were blocked by other people on the path from time to time.
Yinhu also glanced over there, and happened to meet the concubine Wei Jiashi on the other side.The other party quickly looked away, pretending that it was just an accident.
Yinyou said: "I think it's better not to."
Yinhu turned her head and echoed: "I think so too."
Yin Zuo couldn't figure it out: "Why, she is my mother-in-law, why can't I go to her?"
Yinyou couldn't say why, he just simply felt that if the sixth brother went to find the concubine De, he would be unhappy if Ama saw him, Ama would be unhappy, and everyone would be unhappy.
But Yinhu said: "You are going to look for your mother now, just to make trouble for Empress Defei."
Hearing this, Yinzuo's body shook, and he looked at Yinhu with a shocked and strange expression, speechless for a while.
After finishing speaking, Yinhu stopped looking at him and turned to continue whispering to Yinyou.When Yinyou talked about Wu Ge and Baotai robbing "Zhu Yingtai" today, the two giggled, but they didn't dare to laugh too loudly.
Yinzuo thought for a long time before he understood Yinhu's words.Now that Khan Ama left him in Chuxiu Palace, he just didn't want him to see Er Niang. If he openly ran over to find E Niang now, even if he went against Khan Ama, he would embarrass Concubine Niu Colu.
Yinzuo sighed, and was about to return to his seat, but Yinyou took his hand: "Sixth brother, don't think about it, since Ama asked Defei to attend the family banquet, it means that she has forgiven her, and said Maybe after a while, I will let you go back to Yonghe Palace."
When he said this, Yin Zuo had hope again, and his mood improved a lot.
At this time, the eunuch who was in charge of serving the dishes brought another dish, which was fish fillets in milk that Yinyou liked very much. The snow-white and smooth fish fillets were soaked in milk, tender and delicious, and Yinyou could eat a lot every time.
Before he started eating, he glanced in the direction of the prince again, and found that Ama called the eldest brother to talk to him again. The smile on the elder brother's face was bright, and Kangxi also looked at the eldest son with admiration, and the prince sat quietly beside him. , did not speak from beginning to end.
At this time, Yinyou couldn't bear it anymore, he wanted to accompany the prince's brother, but he looked down at his favorite fish fillet with milk, and sucked hard.
He looked up at the prince's brother, and down at the milk fish fillet, having a hard time choosing between the two.
I watched it back and forth several times like this, and I was so anxious that I was about to cry.
Finally, I made up my mind to take a bite first, and then went to find the prince's brother after taking a bite.
The little guy spotted a piece of fish floating on top of the milk, and he struck fast and hard, but he was not accurate enough, and the fish "slicked" and slipped away!
Yinyou was almost dying of anxiety. He took the spoon and chased after the fish fillet. He fished it several times. Seeing that the fish fillet finally got into the spoon, he was about to send it to his mouth when he lifted the spoon halfway. He bent down, lowered his head, and reached for it with his mouth.
"Seventh brother!"
Baotai's voice suddenly rang in his ears, causing Yinyou's hand holding the spoon to shake in fright. His big beautiful eyes were round and round, watching the fish fillets slipping from the edge of the spoon and falling into the milk.
"..."
Xiaotuanzi was so angry and impatient that he couldn't help crying with a "wow".
He cried so much that he was wronged, which shocked everyone around him.
Baotai was so frightened and stupid, he quickly reflected on himself, didn't he just call Seventh Brother, and did nothing else, how could he scare him like this.
Li Xi quickly came over from behind, put his arms around him and coaxed him: "Seventh elder brother, don't cry, today is the holiday, the emperor will not be happy to see you crying."
Yinyou shut up immediately, but still sobbed and said aggrievedly: "I want... woo... I want to find the prince's brother."
At this moment, the prince didn't know whether he heard his cry or could feel his younger brother's grievance, so he suddenly turned his head to look this way.Seeing Yinyou leaning against Li Xi's arms wiping tears, he wondered why this little dumpling was crying again.
Li Xi looked ahead and whispered to him, "You can't go there now."
Yinyou wiped away his tears: "But I want to find Brother Prince, he needs me!"
Li Xi didn't understand what the last sentence "he needs me" meant, and he still coaxed him patiently: "Brother, if the emperor finds out that you are running around, you will be spanked."
"I'm going to spank my ass too."
"..."
Yinyou usually listens to Li Xi's words the most, and he does what Aunt Xi says, but today he doesn't know what's wrong, he is very persistent, and he just wants to go to the prince's side.
When Li Xi was helpless, the eunuch He who was beside the prince walked over from a distance, and said to Yinyou with a smile: "Seventh elder brother, the prince invites you to go over."
Xiaotuanzi, who was crying just now, immediately wiped away his tears, and said with a happy smile, "Okay, I'll go there now."
He followed Eunuch He for a few steps, then stopped suddenly: "Wait a minute!"
After finishing speaking, he turned his head and ran back, holding the bowl of fish fillets with milk in both hands: "Let's go, don't keep the prince waiting too long."
"..."
By this time, he still couldn't forget this bite.Eunuch He held back a smile and whispered in his ear: "Seventh Brother, the Prince has everything to eat."
But Yinyou said: "I like this the most, I want to take it to the prince to taste."
He decided that the prince didn't have it, so he wanted to bring the bowl of fish fillets with milk, no matter what eunuch He said, he didn't have it.
In the end, he could only lose the battle and took the bowl from him: "Let the slaves come to help you."
After passing through the crowd and coming to the prince's seat, Yinyou looked up first. He, Ama, was busy and was being pulled over by the empress dowager to speak.He couldn't hear what he was saying, but Ama nodded repeatedly in agreement.
Yinyou rushed over from behind and hugged Yinreng: "Brother Prince, I'm coming!"
Yinreng turned around, with a look of joy on his face, he also hugged him, and pulled him to sit in front of him.Seeing that there were still wet tears on his face, he wiped them with his thumb: "Why are you crying again?"
Yinyou couldn't remember why he was crying, whether it was because he didn't eat the fish fillet or he couldn't come to see the prince's brother. In short, he has forgotten now and can't remember.
Eunuch He put the bowl of milk fish fillets on the table: "Seventh brother said, this is his favorite food, I must bring it here for you to taste."
How could the prince have any appetite tonight, the dragon liver and phoenix marrow tasted like chewing wax in his mouth.
He touched Yinyou's belly again, it was round, and it seemed that he had eaten a lot: "Isn't Xiao Qi full yet?"
Yinyou shook his head: "If you are full, you can still eat two bites."
The prince grinned, revealing the first involuntary smile of the night.
The failure lesson just now made Yinyou fall into thinking. Finally, he picked up the chopsticks with his right hand and the spoon with his left hand. After a lot of effort, he managed to pick up a piece.
The little guy looked nervous, and his movements became slow and cautious, lifting the fish fillets on the spoon bit by bit.
The prince looked at him, and suddenly became interested, wondering if he would be able to eat this piece of fish in the end.
Unexpectedly, Yinyou raised his head to look at him suddenly: "Brother Prince, open your mouth quickly, this fish is very cunning and always slips away, I have already caught it, eat it quickly!"
His description is simply too contagious, as if what is in the spoon is not a well-cooked fish fillet, but a nimble little fish, which may escape by wagging its tail at any time.
The prince didn't expect that Xiaotuanzi wanted to feed him after putting in so much effort.
The crown prince has learned etiquette for several years, how could the crown prince of a country bend over to eat the food fed by his younger brother regardless of his manners.
Well, it’s so sweet!
The fish meat is tender and silky, covered with a layer of thick milk, full of rich milk flavor.
Yinyou tilted his head to look at him, his eyes full of anticipation: "Is it delicious, is it delicious?"
Ever since he came, the smile on the prince's face has never stopped: "Xiao Qi fed it, it's naturally delicious."
He held up the chopsticks and spoon for a long time, but he was so focused on the crown prince just now that he didn't notice it. Now that he suddenly relaxed, his arms felt sore and weak. He quickly put down the chopsticks and spoon, and then went to see the crown prince.
The prince immediately understood his meaning: "Do you want me to feed you?"
Yinyou nodded, "Hey me, feed me, feed me quickly" was written all over his face.
Eunuch He went to the first one, bent down and said to the prince: "Let the slaves feed Seventh Brother."
The prince waved his hand, he is just having so much fun now, how can he pretend to others: "It's okay, I'll feed you."
The elder brother of the prince fed delicious fish fillets with milk, and Yinyou was very happy to eat. From time to time, he let the prince also have a bite.
The two brothers quickly finished the fish fillet with milk, and Yinyou wanted to eat something else. The prince looked at his stomach and pushed up his clothes: "No, you can't eat any more. have eaten."
Yinyou thought for a while, and finally made a request: "One more bite of crab."
The prince said, "Just one bite, the last one."
Yinyou nodded heavily: "OK!"
The prince gave a look, and the waiter came over immediately, took the steamed crab meat out of the shell, and put it in a small plate with ginger vinegar sauce.
Yinyou kept thinking beside him: "A little more, a little more, I want a big bite, a big bite."
There is only so much meat in a crab, and you can only eat so much in a big bite.
When Kangxi turned around, he happened to see the little guy sitting next to him, who was full of food and drink, and wiped his mouth with satisfaction.And the prince looked at the younger brother with pampering eyes.
Only the cute little Yinyou can make the prince laugh at this time.
"Xiaoqi," the prince asked him, "I saw some of them playing in the yard, do you want to go together?"
Yinyou thought for a while and asked, "Then will the prince brother go with you?"
The prince is now eleven years old, so it is naturally impossible to play wildly with his younger siblings in the yard: "I won't go."
"Then I won't go either, I'll stay here with you."
The prince pinched his nose and said with a smile, "It would be great if you could stay with me all the time."
Yinyou opened the net hanging with him, and took out a Kongming lock from it: "Then I will go back to Yuqing Palace with you tonight."
"Do you want to go back to Yuqing Palace with me?" At this moment, the eunuch brought out a Junshan silver needle, and the prince took a sip, "I'll ask Madam Xiong to pick us up."
Yinyou: "..."
He was stunned for a while, and then asked seriously: "Why don't we go back by ourselves?"
The prince laughed loudly: "Just kidding, how could Madam Xiong come to pick us up after such a long journey."
After the family banquet was over, the Empress Dowager wanted to take Yinyou back to the Palace of Compassion, but the little guy held the Prince's hand and refused to let go: "I have already discussed with the Prince's brother, we will live in Yuqing Palace tonight."
Kangxi frowned: "What are you going to Yuqing Palace for?"
Yinyou said: "I want to accompany the prince brother."
"The prince doesn't need your company."
Yinyou hugged the prince: "Need! The prince brother said that he is afraid of the dark tonight and needs my company."
"The prince is going to study in the study tomorrow morning. Why, you want to hide under the desk and annoy the master again? Tang Bin is old, but he can't stand your troubles."
Yinyou knew he was in the wrong, so he didn't dare to argue with his Ama: "But I really want to sleep with the prince brother today."
At this time, the elder brother bent down and scratched his nose: "Sleeping with the prince, what should you do if you wet the bed again?"
As soon as he said this, the empress dowager, empress dowager, several empresses, elder brother, and princess all laughed.
Yinyou pushed his hand away and retorted loudly: "Brother hates it! I didn't wet the bed, I just..." His voice gradually dropped, "I just peed on Ama."
"Hahahahahaha!" The Empress Dowager couldn't help laughing, "Our Xiaoqi is now three and a half years old, and he can't pee his pants anymore."
The old ancestor turned his head and looked at the prince with cloudy eyes. He noticed at the family banquet just now that the prince was not in a very high mood all night, and he was cautious when speaking in front of the emperor, for fear of making him unhappy. The matter of the picture is implicated in himself.
The child Yinfeng is pitiful, he lost his mother when he was born, although the emperor took care of him himself, but he is so busy, how can he take care of the child, he is not the mother and mother on weekdays, so he just takes care of the study thing.
The prince has a lot of things on his mind, he has always been a sensitive and sensible child, especially at this time, it might not be a bad thing for Yinyou to go and accompany him.
Now that the ancestor had spoken, Kangxi didn't say anything anymore, and only asked him two points: "Don't disturb the prince's rest, and don't disturb the prince's study."
The imperial concubine took him to the side and explained a few more words: "Let Aunt Xi and Nanny Sun go with you, and tell Aunt Xi if you have anything to do, and you must listen to the prince's brother, and don't be mischievous."
Yinyou rushed over and hugged the imperial concubine: "Don't worry, Er Niang, Xiaoqi will be obedient."
The imperial concubine was not at ease, he said obediently, he often made mistakes without knowing it, and thought he was doing the right thing.
Yinyou followed the prince to Yuqing Palace, and on the way, he met a few palace people carrying lanterns coming from a distance.
It was only when Yinyou got closer that he realized that the leader was not the wolf mother?
He reacted very quickly, and immediately hid behind the prince, holding on to the prince's clothes tightly, only daring to show a pair of eyes to look around.
"Brother Prince, didn't you say she wouldn't come out?"
The prince didn't understand the situation either: "Maybe I'm worried."
Several people saluted the prince, and then someone brought a big cloak, Madam Xiong said: "Prince, it was quite warm a few days ago, but it's getting cold tonight. The servant is worried about you catching cold, so I rushed to send you clothes to keep out the cold come over."
The palace man put a cloak on the prince and tied a bag on him.
The prince suddenly remembered Xiaotuanzi behind him, a poor little boy who was weak and sick every now and then.
He turned around and asked Yinyou: "Xiao Qi, are you cold?"
Yinyou shook his head, just about to say it wasn't cold, when a gust of cool wind blew over, the little guy sneezed loudly.
Only then did Mammy Xiong notice that the prince was followed by a little tail: "Hey, this is elder brother Seven. I didn't know you would be here today, so I didn't prepare any clothes for you."
"No, no need..." Yinyou took half a step back, always a little afraid of her, "I'm not cold."
The prince bent down, passed his hands under his armpits, picked him up lightly, and wrapped him in a cloak: "Let's go."
In the past six months, the prince has also grown taller and stronger, and it has become easier and easier to hold him.
Xiaotuanzi felt a little sad in his heart, brothers and sisters were growing taller, why didn't he grow taller himself.
It's not that he didn't grow up at all, but he grew up a little slower than others.
Grandma Xiong knew that it was impossible for Seventh Elder Brother to sleep alone when he came to Yuqing Palace, he had to sleep in the same bed with the crown prince and cover him with a quilt.
At night, all the candles in the bedroom were extinguished, leaving only a single lamp on the table.
Yinyou opened his eyes and asked softly, "Brother Prince, are you asleep?"
"No," the prince replied quickly, because he hadn't had a good night's sleep for several nights, "Why don't you sleep?"
Yinyou turned over, lying on the pillow, and looked at him sideways: "Why are you unhappy?"
The prince smiled and shook his head: "Even you can see that I am unhappy."
How could he be happy, Suo Etu was originally the most powerful person of the Hesheli clan in the court, but now he was dismissed by the emperor's father because of his misbehavior.At the family dinner tonight, he praised big brother again, so he couldn't help but not think too much.
Yinyou asked: "Is it because of Mr. Suo? Did he bully you?"
Yinyou is a little doll raised in the harem, how could he know what happened in the previous dynasty, he just instinctively felt that the prince's brother's unhappiness must have something to do with that Suo'etu.
The prince still felt strange when he heard the first half of the sentence, but he was a little curious after hearing the second half: "Why did Xiao Qi say that?"
"Last time I saw him bullying Master Gao in Qianqing Palace."
The prince frowned: "Gao Shiqi?"
"Yeah." Yinyou nodded, "It's Master Gao who always writes in a small notebook next to Ama."
Gao Shiqi is just an insignificant official in Zhan Shifu, only a sixth-rank official, why would he dare to challenge a relative of the emperor like Suo'etu?
The Zhan Shifu also followed the Ming system and was established to assist the prince of the East Palace. However, there was no prince before, so it was revoked and then restored.
Although Gao Shiqi works for Zhan Shifu, he is not from the East Palace.
But before that, he was just a disciple who was given to Suo'etu.At that time, Gao Shiqi was just a poor and shabby scholar who lived in the capital by selling calligraphy and paintings, and Suo'etu didn't think much of him at all.
But because of Gao Shiqi's good knowledge, he was admitted to the Imperial Academy and stayed in the Imperial Academy.At that time, Mingzhu was ordered to select two people for Kangxi to be in the South Study Room. One of them was Zhang Ying, the later teacher of the prince, and the other was Gao Shiqi.
Kangxi resigned to Suo'etu's position on the grounds of arrogance and recklessness. It may sound like a big deal, but he was never wronged.
Until now, Gao Shiqi has become a very trusted person around Kangxi by virtue of his real talents and flattery skills. He also scolds whenever he wants, and even scolds the female family members of the family without leaving a trace. feelings.
The prince once asked Suo'etu about this matter, and the answer he got was that Gao Shiqi deserved to die. As a slave of his own family, he dared to take refuge in Mingzhu.
The prince thinks that Suo'etu's statement needs to be verified, because he grew up with Khan Ama and had a lot of contact with Gao Shiqi.Although this person is very flattering in front of the emperor's father, and it is true that Mingzhu was selected from the Imperial Academy back then, it is absolutely impossible for him to seek refuge with Mingzhu.
Because he is very smart, he doesn't have any major pursuits in politics. In his heart, besides learning, he wants to live a rich life.He can get the glory he wants as long as he pleases the emperor alone, there is no need to please Mingzhu.
But Suo'etu didn't believe it. He decided that Gao Shiqi was a villain who clings to the powerful and powerful. He not only knelt and licked the emperor, but also knelt and licked his sworn enemy, Pearl, and would not even give him a good face in front of Kangxi.
Thinking of this, the prince finally figured out how Suo'etu killed himself.
Over the years, how many good deeds Suo'etu and Mingzhu have done, it is impossible for Kangxi not to know, the reason why he can tolerate them until now is because of internal and external troubles and repeated wars in the past few years.It is the time when the emperor is employing people, and it is impossible to easily move any powerful minister.
It's different now, Sanfan has been flattened, and Penghu has been recovered. It's time to settle accounts after autumn.
Perhaps coupled with the fact that a favored minister like Gao Shiqi made a fuss in front of the emperor, Suo'etu was dismissed in such a muddled manner.In view of Donggong's face, the dismissal is relatively light.
So, Suo'etu was dismissed, will he be far from his half-assed pearl?
After figuring this out, the prince suddenly felt enlightened, and the worries of the past few days suddenly dissipated a lot.
He turned his head and glanced at Yinyou who was sleeping next to him, maybe because he couldn't wait for his response for a long time, Xiaotuanzi had already fallen asleep.
One side of her face was sunken in the soft pillow, her lips were slightly opened, her breathing was even, her thick eyelashes were still trembling slightly, and she didn't know what good things she had dreamed about.
Yinfeng couldn't help stretching out his hand and pinching his face, but Xiaotuanzi frowned, as if he was about to wake up.
The prince patted his back lightly again, and Xiaotuanzi fell asleep peacefully again.
He was very fortunate that Yinyou followed him back to Yuqing Palace tonight, and a few chats with his younger brother gave him such great inspiration.
In the next few days, the prince paid special attention to Khan Ama's attitude towards him.
He realized that maybe he was too sensitive a few days ago, or maybe he was really frightened by Suo'etu's incident, so he thought that Khan Ama had neglected him.
In fact, Khan Ama still came to the study every day to check his homework and riding and shooting, and often asked him to go to the south study to listen to Khan Ama discussing politics with the ministers, and occasionally asked him for his opinion.
And these are the treatment that big brother doesn't have.
Yinyou was also surprised, he just slept next to the prince's elder brother all night, why he was depressed the day before, but he felt refreshed the next day.
Wow!Er Niang was right, she is a little sun who can warm others, and everyone will be happy when they are with him.
He proudly told the Empress Dowager about this matter, patted his chest and said: "If anyone is unhappy in the future, Xiao Qi will go and sleep with him for one night, so that he will be happy."
The Empress Dowager hugged him, laughing so hard that she couldn't straighten her waist: "Oh, my seventh elder brother, you are really Ukuma Mama's happy fruit."
Yinyou said: "I sleep in the green gauze cupboard in Mama Ukuma's bedroom every day, so Mama Ukuma must be happy every day."
The Empress Dowager hugged his little great-grandson, and while stroking his back, she raised her head and looked at Lagu Su Ma next to her.
Even the crown prince can figure it out, let alone these two legendary women who have been in the court and harem for decades.
After hearing this, the imperial concubine's face darkened, she found an opportunity to take her son back to Chengqian Palace, closed the door and called him: "What Er Niang said to you next is very important, you must firmly remember it .”
"Okay!" Yinyou didn't know what Er Niang was going to say to him, but he could feel that Er Niang was talking to him very seriously.
"Listen well, from now on, no matter what you hear and see in Qianqing Palace, you can't tell others."
The little guy was puzzled: "Why?"
"Because Ama doesn't like it. He doesn't like children talking about things between adults."
Yinyou asked in a ignorant manner, "Can't Brother Prince also say?"
"cannot!"
"Can't Mama Ukuma say it too?"
"cannot!"
Yinyou nodded: "Okay, Xiaoqi will remember."
"Emiang didn't joke with you, you must keep this matter firmly in your heart."
Yinyou raised his head and looked at her: "I heard and saw what I saw at Ama's place, and I never told others. I just don't want the prince's brother to be bullied."
The imperial concubine hugged him into her arms: "Good boy. When you grow up, you will have your own judgment on what to do, but you can't do it now. You have to protect yourself first, and then protect others."
Yinyou leaned his little head on Er Niang's shoulder: "Er Niang won't tell me about Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi is the most obedient."
The imperial concubine kissed his forehead. She really hoped that he would never grow up, and would always be a cute little girl in her arms.
September [-]th is the annual Mulan Autumn Day when Kangxi leads the clan children, princes and ministers.
In the 20th year of Kangxi, the emperor opened a royal hunting garden in the northeast of Zhili in order to train the army.
The emperor had his own considerations for establishing the Royal Hunting Garden again.
To the north of Mulan Paddock is Mongolia, and Mongolian tribes have begun to move around these years, taking advantage of the constant wars inside and outside the Qing Dynasty.
Mulan Paddock is a strategic location between Beijing and Mongolia.Since its establishment, every year on September [-]th, the emperor will lead the elite soldiers of the Eight Banners to conduct military exercises in the form of hunting, and implement the "Wu Wu Sui Fan", so as to achieve the purpose of controlling Mongolia and deterring Tsarist Russia. 【Baidu Encyclopedia】
In the past two years, Yinyou was too young. Kangxi would not take a prince as young as him with him, so he could only stay in the palace.
This year, Kangxi changed his mind. Except for Brother Nine and Brother Ten, who couldn't even walk, the other princes brought him with them to gain insight.
Not only that, but he also brought the Empress Dowager and several concubines with him. In addition to the imperial concubine, noble concubine and four concubines Hui, Yi and Rong, he also brought along the concubine Wei Jia by name.
Before the emperor officially announced the entourage list, the harem had already received the news.
This time the East and West Six Palaces were blown up, and everyone was not surprised that there was no concubine De.After all, she was still contemplating the past. It was already a great grace for the emperor to let her attend the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. How could he take her out of the palace with him?
But what happened to Wei Jiashi?Although she was favored by Kangxi as a court lady because of her outstanding looks, she has since changed from a slave to a master, but after giving birth to the eighth elder brother, the emperor did not see how much favor she was for her.
Putting her in a place like the Yanxi Palace, she would not see the emperor a few times for a year or so.
But this year's Mulan autumn, the emperor actually brought a concubine with him.
The female family members in the palace have very few opportunities to go out of the palace. Except for the summer vacation, that is, Mulan Qiuxi, which has only started in the past two years, several high-ranking concubines have to squeeze their heads. Wei Jia is a concubine, why should she?
Because she gave birth to a son, Kangxi felt a little pity for this son after seeing him a few times, and then thought of his biological mother again.
Whether it is going to Zhili or Jiangnan, as long as he can go out with Ama, Yinyou will be very happy.
He pulled the empress dowager and asked, "Will Mama Ukuma go?"
"Mama Ukuma is too old to walk anymore."
"Xiao Qi will support you."
The old ancestor touched his head and smiled: "I can't walk even if you support me, you go with Ama, don't you always say you want to be Batulu? Go and see who our Daqing man is. How to hunt on horseback, you have to be like them in the future."
Hearing this, Yinyou became a little anxious: "Oh, but I don't know how to ride a horse yet, is there still time to learn it? Mother Su, please teach me."
"Don't worry, don't worry," Aunt Su Ma comforted him with a smile, "The emperor won't let you little kids ride horses to hunt, you just wait in the tent to eat meat."
Hearing about eating meat, Yinyou's eyes sparkled immediately, he swallowed again, and asked with interest: "Eat meat! Will there be meat to eat when I go out riding a horse? But I don't know how to ride a horse, can Ama know?" Won't you let me eat meat?"
The Empress Dowager and Aunt Su Ma couldn't help it, they laughed so hard.
The kid was excited for several days, eagerly waiting to go hunting with Ama. After a long time, he didn't even know what hunting was.
Everyone exchanged cups with their own ideas and goals. The princes and princesses either bowed their heads to taste the delicious food, or sat quietly beside the mother, or were taken to the empress dowager and the empress dowager to say hello... Generally speaking, the banquet is here In the second half, they have the opportunity to move freely.
Now Yinyou doesn't need Li Xi or Nanny Sun to feed him. Although he is not very flexible with chopsticks, he can already use a spoon to eat skillfully.
He lowered his head to take a bite and raised his head to look at the prince's brother. He saw that the prince's brother was talking beside Ukumama, and then returned to his position, and saw Ama bowed his head and said something to him. .
Brother Prince always has a smile on his face when he talks to others, but the smile on his face disappears when he sits down.
Yinyou lowered his head and took a mouthful of Dongpo meat, then raised his head, but his sight was blocked by someone.
He looked up along the man's chest, and saw Sixth Brother's frowning expression.
"Six...six brothers!" Yinyou's hands trembled, and the piece of Dongpo meat that he bit into on the spoon fell back into the bowl.
Yin Zuo lowered his head, just in time to see this scene.Yinyou smiled awkwardly, and kept the bowl in front of him calmly: "You, you, you, don't you have it yourself?"
Yinzuo couldn't help but say, his buttocks fell down and took up half of his cushion, and the two children squeezed together.
Yinyou gave himself a moment of psychological construction, and finally pushed the bowl over generously: "Why don't I give you a bite?"
Yin Zuo turned his head aside: "Whoever wants to eat your food, you can eat it yourself."
"Huhu..." Yinyou's hand seemed to be equipped with a spring, just stretched out and then retracted, he breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, that's good."
He lowered his head, opened his mouth as wide as possible, and stuffed all the remaining Dongpo meat into his mouth in one gulp. His cheeks were bulging, chewing and chewing, chewing and chewing...the meat was too big, and his mouth was too small. He couldn't chew or swallow for a long time, thick gravy overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and his pink cheeks shook up and down with his difficult chewing movements, it was so cute.
Yin Zuo was not at all cute by him, instead his brows became more and more wrinkled, his eyes even looked a little disgusted, but finally he reached out his hand helplessly and patted him on the back: "Eat slowly, I won't follow you Rob."
Yinyou: "..."
Under the continuous efforts of the two brothers who patted their backs vigorously and chewed vigorously, Yinyou could chew the piece of meat in his mouth and swallowed it.
On the other side, Yinhu slipped over at some unknown time, picked up the soup bowl on the side and handed it to him: "Come on, Brother Seven, take a sip of the soup."
The soup is also Yinyou's favorite, Longjing bamboo fungus stewed chicken, after a big mouthful, the little guy is quite satisfied.
Yinhu took the handkerchief again and handed it to him: "Wipe."
Yinyou took it and wiped his mouth: "Thank you eighth brother!"
Yinhu smiled sweetly at him, and went to touch his head with him, and the two little guys got together to whisper.
Yinzuo annoyed the two of them to death, no one cared about his own worries.He stood up to leave, but a hand grabbed his robe: "Sixth brother, what do you want from me?"
"It's gone now." Yin Zuo pulled back his clothes from his hand and continued to walk back.Yinyou and Yinhu, one on the left and the other on the right, pressed him on the mat again.
Yinyou said: "There must be, I can see it."
Yin Zuo looked up at him: "You foodie, you only have food in your eyes, what can you see?"
"I see that you have something on your mind." Yinyou sat beside him, "You came to see me because you have something to tell me."
Yinzuo sighed: "I want to find my mother-in-law."
Concubine De sat at the back of the concubines on the other side. The mother and son looked at each other from a distance across the diagonal, and they were blocked by other people on the path from time to time.
Yinhu also glanced over there, and happened to meet the concubine Wei Jiashi on the other side.The other party quickly looked away, pretending that it was just an accident.
Yinyou said: "I think it's better not to."
Yinhu turned her head and echoed: "I think so too."
Yin Zuo couldn't figure it out: "Why, she is my mother-in-law, why can't I go to her?"
Yinyou couldn't say why, he just simply felt that if the sixth brother went to find the concubine De, he would be unhappy if Ama saw him, Ama would be unhappy, and everyone would be unhappy.
But Yinhu said: "You are going to look for your mother now, just to make trouble for Empress Defei."
Hearing this, Yinzuo's body shook, and he looked at Yinhu with a shocked and strange expression, speechless for a while.
After finishing speaking, Yinhu stopped looking at him and turned to continue whispering to Yinyou.When Yinyou talked about Wu Ge and Baotai robbing "Zhu Yingtai" today, the two giggled, but they didn't dare to laugh too loudly.
Yinzuo thought for a long time before he understood Yinhu's words.Now that Khan Ama left him in Chuxiu Palace, he just didn't want him to see Er Niang. If he openly ran over to find E Niang now, even if he went against Khan Ama, he would embarrass Concubine Niu Colu.
Yinzuo sighed, and was about to return to his seat, but Yinyou took his hand: "Sixth brother, don't think about it, since Ama asked Defei to attend the family banquet, it means that she has forgiven her, and said Maybe after a while, I will let you go back to Yonghe Palace."
When he said this, Yin Zuo had hope again, and his mood improved a lot.
At this time, the eunuch who was in charge of serving the dishes brought another dish, which was fish fillets in milk that Yinyou liked very much. The snow-white and smooth fish fillets were soaked in milk, tender and delicious, and Yinyou could eat a lot every time.
Before he started eating, he glanced in the direction of the prince again, and found that Ama called the eldest brother to talk to him again. The smile on the elder brother's face was bright, and Kangxi also looked at the eldest son with admiration, and the prince sat quietly beside him. , did not speak from beginning to end.
At this time, Yinyou couldn't bear it anymore, he wanted to accompany the prince's brother, but he looked down at his favorite fish fillet with milk, and sucked hard.
He looked up at the prince's brother, and down at the milk fish fillet, having a hard time choosing between the two.
I watched it back and forth several times like this, and I was so anxious that I was about to cry.
Finally, I made up my mind to take a bite first, and then went to find the prince's brother after taking a bite.
The little guy spotted a piece of fish floating on top of the milk, and he struck fast and hard, but he was not accurate enough, and the fish "slicked" and slipped away!
Yinyou was almost dying of anxiety. He took the spoon and chased after the fish fillet. He fished it several times. Seeing that the fish fillet finally got into the spoon, he was about to send it to his mouth when he lifted the spoon halfway. He bent down, lowered his head, and reached for it with his mouth.
"Seventh brother!"
Baotai's voice suddenly rang in his ears, causing Yinyou's hand holding the spoon to shake in fright. His big beautiful eyes were round and round, watching the fish fillets slipping from the edge of the spoon and falling into the milk.
"..."
Xiaotuanzi was so angry and impatient that he couldn't help crying with a "wow".
He cried so much that he was wronged, which shocked everyone around him.
Baotai was so frightened and stupid, he quickly reflected on himself, didn't he just call Seventh Brother, and did nothing else, how could he scare him like this.
Li Xi quickly came over from behind, put his arms around him and coaxed him: "Seventh elder brother, don't cry, today is the holiday, the emperor will not be happy to see you crying."
Yinyou shut up immediately, but still sobbed and said aggrievedly: "I want... woo... I want to find the prince's brother."
At this moment, the prince didn't know whether he heard his cry or could feel his younger brother's grievance, so he suddenly turned his head to look this way.Seeing Yinyou leaning against Li Xi's arms wiping tears, he wondered why this little dumpling was crying again.
Li Xi looked ahead and whispered to him, "You can't go there now."
Yinyou wiped away his tears: "But I want to find Brother Prince, he needs me!"
Li Xi didn't understand what the last sentence "he needs me" meant, and he still coaxed him patiently: "Brother, if the emperor finds out that you are running around, you will be spanked."
"I'm going to spank my ass too."
"..."
Yinyou usually listens to Li Xi's words the most, and he does what Aunt Xi says, but today he doesn't know what's wrong, he is very persistent, and he just wants to go to the prince's side.
When Li Xi was helpless, the eunuch He who was beside the prince walked over from a distance, and said to Yinyou with a smile: "Seventh elder brother, the prince invites you to go over."
Xiaotuanzi, who was crying just now, immediately wiped away his tears, and said with a happy smile, "Okay, I'll go there now."
He followed Eunuch He for a few steps, then stopped suddenly: "Wait a minute!"
After finishing speaking, he turned his head and ran back, holding the bowl of fish fillets with milk in both hands: "Let's go, don't keep the prince waiting too long."
"..."
By this time, he still couldn't forget this bite.Eunuch He held back a smile and whispered in his ear: "Seventh Brother, the Prince has everything to eat."
But Yinyou said: "I like this the most, I want to take it to the prince to taste."
He decided that the prince didn't have it, so he wanted to bring the bowl of fish fillets with milk, no matter what eunuch He said, he didn't have it.
In the end, he could only lose the battle and took the bowl from him: "Let the slaves come to help you."
After passing through the crowd and coming to the prince's seat, Yinyou looked up first. He, Ama, was busy and was being pulled over by the empress dowager to speak.He couldn't hear what he was saying, but Ama nodded repeatedly in agreement.
Yinyou rushed over from behind and hugged Yinreng: "Brother Prince, I'm coming!"
Yinreng turned around, with a look of joy on his face, he also hugged him, and pulled him to sit in front of him.Seeing that there were still wet tears on his face, he wiped them with his thumb: "Why are you crying again?"
Yinyou couldn't remember why he was crying, whether it was because he didn't eat the fish fillet or he couldn't come to see the prince's brother. In short, he has forgotten now and can't remember.
Eunuch He put the bowl of milk fish fillets on the table: "Seventh brother said, this is his favorite food, I must bring it here for you to taste."
How could the prince have any appetite tonight, the dragon liver and phoenix marrow tasted like chewing wax in his mouth.
He touched Yinyou's belly again, it was round, and it seemed that he had eaten a lot: "Isn't Xiao Qi full yet?"
Yinyou shook his head: "If you are full, you can still eat two bites."
The prince grinned, revealing the first involuntary smile of the night.
The failure lesson just now made Yinyou fall into thinking. Finally, he picked up the chopsticks with his right hand and the spoon with his left hand. After a lot of effort, he managed to pick up a piece.
The little guy looked nervous, and his movements became slow and cautious, lifting the fish fillets on the spoon bit by bit.
The prince looked at him, and suddenly became interested, wondering if he would be able to eat this piece of fish in the end.
Unexpectedly, Yinyou raised his head to look at him suddenly: "Brother Prince, open your mouth quickly, this fish is very cunning and always slips away, I have already caught it, eat it quickly!"
His description is simply too contagious, as if what is in the spoon is not a well-cooked fish fillet, but a nimble little fish, which may escape by wagging its tail at any time.
The prince didn't expect that Xiaotuanzi wanted to feed him after putting in so much effort.
The crown prince has learned etiquette for several years, how could the crown prince of a country bend over to eat the food fed by his younger brother regardless of his manners.
Well, it’s so sweet!
The fish meat is tender and silky, covered with a layer of thick milk, full of rich milk flavor.
Yinyou tilted his head to look at him, his eyes full of anticipation: "Is it delicious, is it delicious?"
Ever since he came, the smile on the prince's face has never stopped: "Xiao Qi fed it, it's naturally delicious."
He held up the chopsticks and spoon for a long time, but he was so focused on the crown prince just now that he didn't notice it. Now that he suddenly relaxed, his arms felt sore and weak. He quickly put down the chopsticks and spoon, and then went to see the crown prince.
The prince immediately understood his meaning: "Do you want me to feed you?"
Yinyou nodded, "Hey me, feed me, feed me quickly" was written all over his face.
Eunuch He went to the first one, bent down and said to the prince: "Let the slaves feed Seventh Brother."
The prince waved his hand, he is just having so much fun now, how can he pretend to others: "It's okay, I'll feed you."
The elder brother of the prince fed delicious fish fillets with milk, and Yinyou was very happy to eat. From time to time, he let the prince also have a bite.
The two brothers quickly finished the fish fillet with milk, and Yinyou wanted to eat something else. The prince looked at his stomach and pushed up his clothes: "No, you can't eat any more. have eaten."
Yinyou thought for a while, and finally made a request: "One more bite of crab."
The prince said, "Just one bite, the last one."
Yinyou nodded heavily: "OK!"
The prince gave a look, and the waiter came over immediately, took the steamed crab meat out of the shell, and put it in a small plate with ginger vinegar sauce.
Yinyou kept thinking beside him: "A little more, a little more, I want a big bite, a big bite."
There is only so much meat in a crab, and you can only eat so much in a big bite.
When Kangxi turned around, he happened to see the little guy sitting next to him, who was full of food and drink, and wiped his mouth with satisfaction.And the prince looked at the younger brother with pampering eyes.
Only the cute little Yinyou can make the prince laugh at this time.
"Xiaoqi," the prince asked him, "I saw some of them playing in the yard, do you want to go together?"
Yinyou thought for a while and asked, "Then will the prince brother go with you?"
The prince is now eleven years old, so it is naturally impossible to play wildly with his younger siblings in the yard: "I won't go."
"Then I won't go either, I'll stay here with you."
The prince pinched his nose and said with a smile, "It would be great if you could stay with me all the time."
Yinyou opened the net hanging with him, and took out a Kongming lock from it: "Then I will go back to Yuqing Palace with you tonight."
"Do you want to go back to Yuqing Palace with me?" At this moment, the eunuch brought out a Junshan silver needle, and the prince took a sip, "I'll ask Madam Xiong to pick us up."
Yinyou: "..."
He was stunned for a while, and then asked seriously: "Why don't we go back by ourselves?"
The prince laughed loudly: "Just kidding, how could Madam Xiong come to pick us up after such a long journey."
After the family banquet was over, the Empress Dowager wanted to take Yinyou back to the Palace of Compassion, but the little guy held the Prince's hand and refused to let go: "I have already discussed with the Prince's brother, we will live in Yuqing Palace tonight."
Kangxi frowned: "What are you going to Yuqing Palace for?"
Yinyou said: "I want to accompany the prince brother."
"The prince doesn't need your company."
Yinyou hugged the prince: "Need! The prince brother said that he is afraid of the dark tonight and needs my company."
"The prince is going to study in the study tomorrow morning. Why, you want to hide under the desk and annoy the master again? Tang Bin is old, but he can't stand your troubles."
Yinyou knew he was in the wrong, so he didn't dare to argue with his Ama: "But I really want to sleep with the prince brother today."
At this time, the elder brother bent down and scratched his nose: "Sleeping with the prince, what should you do if you wet the bed again?"
As soon as he said this, the empress dowager, empress dowager, several empresses, elder brother, and princess all laughed.
Yinyou pushed his hand away and retorted loudly: "Brother hates it! I didn't wet the bed, I just..." His voice gradually dropped, "I just peed on Ama."
"Hahahahahaha!" The Empress Dowager couldn't help laughing, "Our Xiaoqi is now three and a half years old, and he can't pee his pants anymore."
The old ancestor turned his head and looked at the prince with cloudy eyes. He noticed at the family banquet just now that the prince was not in a very high mood all night, and he was cautious when speaking in front of the emperor, for fear of making him unhappy. The matter of the picture is implicated in himself.
The child Yinfeng is pitiful, he lost his mother when he was born, although the emperor took care of him himself, but he is so busy, how can he take care of the child, he is not the mother and mother on weekdays, so he just takes care of the study thing.
The prince has a lot of things on his mind, he has always been a sensitive and sensible child, especially at this time, it might not be a bad thing for Yinyou to go and accompany him.
Now that the ancestor had spoken, Kangxi didn't say anything anymore, and only asked him two points: "Don't disturb the prince's rest, and don't disturb the prince's study."
The imperial concubine took him to the side and explained a few more words: "Let Aunt Xi and Nanny Sun go with you, and tell Aunt Xi if you have anything to do, and you must listen to the prince's brother, and don't be mischievous."
Yinyou rushed over and hugged the imperial concubine: "Don't worry, Er Niang, Xiaoqi will be obedient."
The imperial concubine was not at ease, he said obediently, he often made mistakes without knowing it, and thought he was doing the right thing.
Yinyou followed the prince to Yuqing Palace, and on the way, he met a few palace people carrying lanterns coming from a distance.
It was only when Yinyou got closer that he realized that the leader was not the wolf mother?
He reacted very quickly, and immediately hid behind the prince, holding on to the prince's clothes tightly, only daring to show a pair of eyes to look around.
"Brother Prince, didn't you say she wouldn't come out?"
The prince didn't understand the situation either: "Maybe I'm worried."
Several people saluted the prince, and then someone brought a big cloak, Madam Xiong said: "Prince, it was quite warm a few days ago, but it's getting cold tonight. The servant is worried about you catching cold, so I rushed to send you clothes to keep out the cold come over."
The palace man put a cloak on the prince and tied a bag on him.
The prince suddenly remembered Xiaotuanzi behind him, a poor little boy who was weak and sick every now and then.
He turned around and asked Yinyou: "Xiao Qi, are you cold?"
Yinyou shook his head, just about to say it wasn't cold, when a gust of cool wind blew over, the little guy sneezed loudly.
Only then did Mammy Xiong notice that the prince was followed by a little tail: "Hey, this is elder brother Seven. I didn't know you would be here today, so I didn't prepare any clothes for you."
"No, no need..." Yinyou took half a step back, always a little afraid of her, "I'm not cold."
The prince bent down, passed his hands under his armpits, picked him up lightly, and wrapped him in a cloak: "Let's go."
In the past six months, the prince has also grown taller and stronger, and it has become easier and easier to hold him.
Xiaotuanzi felt a little sad in his heart, brothers and sisters were growing taller, why didn't he grow taller himself.
It's not that he didn't grow up at all, but he grew up a little slower than others.
Grandma Xiong knew that it was impossible for Seventh Elder Brother to sleep alone when he came to Yuqing Palace, he had to sleep in the same bed with the crown prince and cover him with a quilt.
At night, all the candles in the bedroom were extinguished, leaving only a single lamp on the table.
Yinyou opened his eyes and asked softly, "Brother Prince, are you asleep?"
"No," the prince replied quickly, because he hadn't had a good night's sleep for several nights, "Why don't you sleep?"
Yinyou turned over, lying on the pillow, and looked at him sideways: "Why are you unhappy?"
The prince smiled and shook his head: "Even you can see that I am unhappy."
How could he be happy, Suo Etu was originally the most powerful person of the Hesheli clan in the court, but now he was dismissed by the emperor's father because of his misbehavior.At the family dinner tonight, he praised big brother again, so he couldn't help but not think too much.
Yinyou asked: "Is it because of Mr. Suo? Did he bully you?"
Yinyou is a little doll raised in the harem, how could he know what happened in the previous dynasty, he just instinctively felt that the prince's brother's unhappiness must have something to do with that Suo'etu.
The prince still felt strange when he heard the first half of the sentence, but he was a little curious after hearing the second half: "Why did Xiao Qi say that?"
"Last time I saw him bullying Master Gao in Qianqing Palace."
The prince frowned: "Gao Shiqi?"
"Yeah." Yinyou nodded, "It's Master Gao who always writes in a small notebook next to Ama."
Gao Shiqi is just an insignificant official in Zhan Shifu, only a sixth-rank official, why would he dare to challenge a relative of the emperor like Suo'etu?
The Zhan Shifu also followed the Ming system and was established to assist the prince of the East Palace. However, there was no prince before, so it was revoked and then restored.
Although Gao Shiqi works for Zhan Shifu, he is not from the East Palace.
But before that, he was just a disciple who was given to Suo'etu.At that time, Gao Shiqi was just a poor and shabby scholar who lived in the capital by selling calligraphy and paintings, and Suo'etu didn't think much of him at all.
But because of Gao Shiqi's good knowledge, he was admitted to the Imperial Academy and stayed in the Imperial Academy.At that time, Mingzhu was ordered to select two people for Kangxi to be in the South Study Room. One of them was Zhang Ying, the later teacher of the prince, and the other was Gao Shiqi.
Kangxi resigned to Suo'etu's position on the grounds of arrogance and recklessness. It may sound like a big deal, but he was never wronged.
Until now, Gao Shiqi has become a very trusted person around Kangxi by virtue of his real talents and flattery skills. He also scolds whenever he wants, and even scolds the female family members of the family without leaving a trace. feelings.
The prince once asked Suo'etu about this matter, and the answer he got was that Gao Shiqi deserved to die. As a slave of his own family, he dared to take refuge in Mingzhu.
The prince thinks that Suo'etu's statement needs to be verified, because he grew up with Khan Ama and had a lot of contact with Gao Shiqi.Although this person is very flattering in front of the emperor's father, and it is true that Mingzhu was selected from the Imperial Academy back then, it is absolutely impossible for him to seek refuge with Mingzhu.
Because he is very smart, he doesn't have any major pursuits in politics. In his heart, besides learning, he wants to live a rich life.He can get the glory he wants as long as he pleases the emperor alone, there is no need to please Mingzhu.
But Suo'etu didn't believe it. He decided that Gao Shiqi was a villain who clings to the powerful and powerful. He not only knelt and licked the emperor, but also knelt and licked his sworn enemy, Pearl, and would not even give him a good face in front of Kangxi.
Thinking of this, the prince finally figured out how Suo'etu killed himself.
Over the years, how many good deeds Suo'etu and Mingzhu have done, it is impossible for Kangxi not to know, the reason why he can tolerate them until now is because of internal and external troubles and repeated wars in the past few years.It is the time when the emperor is employing people, and it is impossible to easily move any powerful minister.
It's different now, Sanfan has been flattened, and Penghu has been recovered. It's time to settle accounts after autumn.
Perhaps coupled with the fact that a favored minister like Gao Shiqi made a fuss in front of the emperor, Suo'etu was dismissed in such a muddled manner.In view of Donggong's face, the dismissal is relatively light.
So, Suo'etu was dismissed, will he be far from his half-assed pearl?
After figuring this out, the prince suddenly felt enlightened, and the worries of the past few days suddenly dissipated a lot.
He turned his head and glanced at Yinyou who was sleeping next to him, maybe because he couldn't wait for his response for a long time, Xiaotuanzi had already fallen asleep.
One side of her face was sunken in the soft pillow, her lips were slightly opened, her breathing was even, her thick eyelashes were still trembling slightly, and she didn't know what good things she had dreamed about.
Yinfeng couldn't help stretching out his hand and pinching his face, but Xiaotuanzi frowned, as if he was about to wake up.
The prince patted his back lightly again, and Xiaotuanzi fell asleep peacefully again.
He was very fortunate that Yinyou followed him back to Yuqing Palace tonight, and a few chats with his younger brother gave him such great inspiration.
In the next few days, the prince paid special attention to Khan Ama's attitude towards him.
He realized that maybe he was too sensitive a few days ago, or maybe he was really frightened by Suo'etu's incident, so he thought that Khan Ama had neglected him.
In fact, Khan Ama still came to the study every day to check his homework and riding and shooting, and often asked him to go to the south study to listen to Khan Ama discussing politics with the ministers, and occasionally asked him for his opinion.
And these are the treatment that big brother doesn't have.
Yinyou was also surprised, he just slept next to the prince's elder brother all night, why he was depressed the day before, but he felt refreshed the next day.
Wow!Er Niang was right, she is a little sun who can warm others, and everyone will be happy when they are with him.
He proudly told the Empress Dowager about this matter, patted his chest and said: "If anyone is unhappy in the future, Xiao Qi will go and sleep with him for one night, so that he will be happy."
The Empress Dowager hugged him, laughing so hard that she couldn't straighten her waist: "Oh, my seventh elder brother, you are really Ukuma Mama's happy fruit."
Yinyou said: "I sleep in the green gauze cupboard in Mama Ukuma's bedroom every day, so Mama Ukuma must be happy every day."
The Empress Dowager hugged his little great-grandson, and while stroking his back, she raised her head and looked at Lagu Su Ma next to her.
Even the crown prince can figure it out, let alone these two legendary women who have been in the court and harem for decades.
After hearing this, the imperial concubine's face darkened, she found an opportunity to take her son back to Chengqian Palace, closed the door and called him: "What Er Niang said to you next is very important, you must firmly remember it .”
"Okay!" Yinyou didn't know what Er Niang was going to say to him, but he could feel that Er Niang was talking to him very seriously.
"Listen well, from now on, no matter what you hear and see in Qianqing Palace, you can't tell others."
The little guy was puzzled: "Why?"
"Because Ama doesn't like it. He doesn't like children talking about things between adults."
Yinyou asked in a ignorant manner, "Can't Brother Prince also say?"
"cannot!"
"Can't Mama Ukuma say it too?"
"cannot!"
Yinyou nodded: "Okay, Xiaoqi will remember."
"Emiang didn't joke with you, you must keep this matter firmly in your heart."
Yinyou raised his head and looked at her: "I heard and saw what I saw at Ama's place, and I never told others. I just don't want the prince's brother to be bullied."
The imperial concubine hugged him into her arms: "Good boy. When you grow up, you will have your own judgment on what to do, but you can't do it now. You have to protect yourself first, and then protect others."
Yinyou leaned his little head on Er Niang's shoulder: "Er Niang won't tell me about Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi is the most obedient."
The imperial concubine kissed his forehead. She really hoped that he would never grow up, and would always be a cute little girl in her arms.
September [-]th is the annual Mulan Autumn Day when Kangxi leads the clan children, princes and ministers.
In the 20th year of Kangxi, the emperor opened a royal hunting garden in the northeast of Zhili in order to train the army.
The emperor had his own considerations for establishing the Royal Hunting Garden again.
To the north of Mulan Paddock is Mongolia, and Mongolian tribes have begun to move around these years, taking advantage of the constant wars inside and outside the Qing Dynasty.
Mulan Paddock is a strategic location between Beijing and Mongolia.Since its establishment, every year on September [-]th, the emperor will lead the elite soldiers of the Eight Banners to conduct military exercises in the form of hunting, and implement the "Wu Wu Sui Fan", so as to achieve the purpose of controlling Mongolia and deterring Tsarist Russia. 【Baidu Encyclopedia】
In the past two years, Yinyou was too young. Kangxi would not take a prince as young as him with him, so he could only stay in the palace.
This year, Kangxi changed his mind. Except for Brother Nine and Brother Ten, who couldn't even walk, the other princes brought him with them to gain insight.
Not only that, but he also brought the Empress Dowager and several concubines with him. In addition to the imperial concubine, noble concubine and four concubines Hui, Yi and Rong, he also brought along the concubine Wei Jia by name.
Before the emperor officially announced the entourage list, the harem had already received the news.
This time the East and West Six Palaces were blown up, and everyone was not surprised that there was no concubine De.After all, she was still contemplating the past. It was already a great grace for the emperor to let her attend the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. How could he take her out of the palace with him?
But what happened to Wei Jiashi?Although she was favored by Kangxi as a court lady because of her outstanding looks, she has since changed from a slave to a master, but after giving birth to the eighth elder brother, the emperor did not see how much favor she was for her.
Putting her in a place like the Yanxi Palace, she would not see the emperor a few times for a year or so.
But this year's Mulan autumn, the emperor actually brought a concubine with him.
The female family members in the palace have very few opportunities to go out of the palace. Except for the summer vacation, that is, Mulan Qiuxi, which has only started in the past two years, several high-ranking concubines have to squeeze their heads. Wei Jia is a concubine, why should she?
Because she gave birth to a son, Kangxi felt a little pity for this son after seeing him a few times, and then thought of his biological mother again.
Whether it is going to Zhili or Jiangnan, as long as he can go out with Ama, Yinyou will be very happy.
He pulled the empress dowager and asked, "Will Mama Ukuma go?"
"Mama Ukuma is too old to walk anymore."
"Xiao Qi will support you."
The old ancestor touched his head and smiled: "I can't walk even if you support me, you go with Ama, don't you always say you want to be Batulu? Go and see who our Daqing man is. How to hunt on horseback, you have to be like them in the future."
Hearing this, Yinyou became a little anxious: "Oh, but I don't know how to ride a horse yet, is there still time to learn it? Mother Su, please teach me."
"Don't worry, don't worry," Aunt Su Ma comforted him with a smile, "The emperor won't let you little kids ride horses to hunt, you just wait in the tent to eat meat."
Hearing about eating meat, Yinyou's eyes sparkled immediately, he swallowed again, and asked with interest: "Eat meat! Will there be meat to eat when I go out riding a horse? But I don't know how to ride a horse, can Ama know?" Won't you let me eat meat?"
The Empress Dowager and Aunt Su Ma couldn't help it, they laughed so hard.
The kid was excited for several days, eagerly waiting to go hunting with Ama. After a long time, he didn't even know what hunting was.
