Everyone quieted down and looked at the venue, because most of the people came here for the first time, and they didn't understand what this was going to be.
The elder brother sat on the mat beside Yinyou, bent one leg, and put one hand on his knee casually, looking nonchalant: "Wrestling show."
Yin Qi asked: "Didn't you perform before?"
"That's dancing, and next is jousting."
"Wow!!!"
Hearing the contest, several children next to him raised their heads one after another, all of them had excitement and anticipation written on their faces.
It’s not that they haven’t seen wrestling, but most of the time, it’s the guards and Ama or Haha Zhuzi and the brothers. How dare the slaves really wrestle when facing the master. .
But this is different. There are not only the brave and skilled soldiers of the Qing Dynasty, but also the Mongols. They grew up riding and wrestling on the grassland all the year round. Naturally, horse wrestling is no problem.
Since the establishment of the Mulan Paddock in the 20th year of Kangxi, the annual Mulan Autumn Festival has only been held for four years. The scale was relatively small in the first two years. A team of hundreds of people came.
Since last year, Kangxi has asked several tribes close to the Mulan paddock to participate in the autumn festival. On the one hand, it is to let them see the military strength of the Qing Dynasty, and on the other hand, it is also to learn about the situation of other ministries, especially the recent ones. For many years, the Zhungeer Ministry has been busy conquering the East and West, and constantly expanding its sphere of influence.
Until this year, Kangxi officially regarded Mulan Qiuxi as an important military exercise.Not only did he bring tens of thousands of elite soldiers, but he also notified the princes of various Mongolian tribes in advance, asking them to send people to participate, and the princess married from afar also came with her forehead. The scale and momentum were incomparable in previous years .
There was a wrestling performance at last year's celebration banquet. Kangxi sent several guards around him to compete with the Mongolian prince. The main purpose was to add to the fun when the emperor ate meat and drank.
This year, there are more people, and naturally this performance was arranged. At the beginning, young people from various Mongolian tribes competed.They are all dark and rough, and tall.
They will introduce their identities before going on the field. When they hear their ages, there will always be some discussions on Daqing's side, because their appearance looks far from their ages.
The wrestling on the field was very exciting, and the deer liver in his mouth was also delicious. Yinyou watched the show and enjoyed the food. He was all Mongolians anyway. He didn't know any of them, and he didn't have any preference. He just watched the fun.
Not long after, it was the turn of the people sent by the Qing Dynasty to play.Although they were just the bodyguards around Kangxi, all of them were relatives of the emperor. If they were not related to the royal family, they would never have become the emperor's personal bodyguards.
In terms of status, they are no worse than these princes and nobles.
Since there are warriors from the Qing Dynasty playing, it is not a pure performance, but a real competition.
The little elder brothers sitting together also took a stand, put down the meat in their hands one after another, and began to secretly cheer for the people on their side.
They are all princes who have been educated since childhood. Although the nervousness and excitement can be seen from their eyes, they are very calm on the surface. It's just that when the person photographed by the Qing Dynasty wins, they applaud louder.
Kangxi is the king of a country, sitting on the throne at the front seems to be very calm, giving rewards no matter whether he wins or loses.
At this time, a prince from the Mongolian tribe suddenly stood up and said to Kangxi: "I heard that all the elder brothers in the Qing Dynasty are both civil and military. Compete with the boys on our grassland."
This is obviously to cause trouble. If Kangxi refuses to agree, he admits that his son is not as good as those Mongolian teenagers. If he agrees, he doesn't study on the grassland and just practices this all day long. His son may not win.
Besides, apart from the elder brother and the prince, the other princes are still young, who else can compete?
At this time, all the eyes on the scene turned to the Mongolian who was speaking in the middle, and then everyone looked at each other.Ask in a low voice, who is this person, what is his background, dare to make such a request to the emperor.
After all, there are dozens of tribes in Mongolia, and this time there were hundreds of people in total, and Kangxi didn't know all of them, let alone the women in the harem.
Although the mothers and elder brothers raised in the deep palace didn't know each other, many generals present were very familiar with him, even Kangxi knew him.
He is from the Junggar tribe of Mongolia and is Wenchun, the younger brother of the leader Galdan.
There are 32 divisions in the Eighteenth League of Mongolia, and they are the most arrogant.
Galdan has led his cavalry to the Uzbek Khanate this year, where he has time to participate in the hunting of the Qing emperor. Sending his nephew here is already enough to give the Qing emperor enough face.
He had already said his words in front of so many princes and ministers, so it was impossible for Kangxi not to agree. It just so happened that he also wanted to take this opportunity to wipe out the arrogance of the Junggar tribe.
The crown prince was younger, and he was the heir apparent of the country. He was the only one with a noble status. Naturally, it was impossible for him to be sent out to wrestle with the Mongols.
The age and status are suitable, and the only one who is good at wrestling is the eldest brother.Not to mention the few princes in the palace, even if you look at the royal family members of his generation, no one can match him.
At this time, the candidate who had been prepared by the Junggar Department came to the center of the venue. Yinyou turned his head and looked over with his brothers. The little princes all stared wide-eyed. A Mongolian man in his twenties.
In fact, when their Khan Ama agreed to come down for this competition, they had already guessed that the person who would go out to compete with others would only be the elder brother.
Yinyou turned his head to look at the elder brother. He used to think that the elder brother's arms were so strong and strong that he could lift himself up with one hand.
Compared with that person now, the eldest brother is also much taller and slender.
Yinyou stretched out his hand and slapped his elder brother on the shoulder: "Are you afraid?"
Big Brother looked surprised and said, "What am I afraid of? Aren't you the bravest Batulu in the Qing Dynasty? You should be the one."
Yinyou thought that what he said made sense, and stood up as soon as he slapped the table. Rao, the elder brother was quick enough to react, and he couldn't hold him back.
The little guy made a lot of noise, and everyone around responded to his voice and looked in his direction.
The imperial concubine gave a "thump" in her heart: "What kind of monster is my son going to do again? At this time, in front of so many people, he can't be ashamed and thrown to Mongolia."
When Kangxi saw that it was his temple, he jumped up suddenly. How could this brat stand up at the most critical moment every time, and what was he going to do today.
The other concubines all looked at Yinyou as if they were watching the excitement, wondering what shocking words would come out of Seventh Brother's mouth.
At this time, the prince frowned. He has been sitting beside Khan Ama all day, helping to deal with the princes and ministers. He only had time to send a rabbit leg to Yinyou, so he didn't pay much attention.
Next, the protagonist is obviously the eldest brother, why did this little group suddenly stand up.
Bundy has been sitting with his father all the time. He is different from others. He has to look at the little elder brothers from time to time.They were wearing similar clothes and hats, all of them were beautifully carved, but the most lively and lovely one was the Seventh Brother.
At this time, the person standing in the center of the field also turned his head to look at Yinyou.His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, and the moment Yinyou and him looked at each other, he was immediately frightened.
"You...don't be arrogant, my elder brother is amazing, he will definitely defeat you!"
"???"
Big Brother still held his hand in the air, but he never expected that Little Baozi stood up aggressively, opened his mouth and sold him without any hesitation.
The prince's frown suddenly relaxed. Hearing Xiaotuanzi's words, he wanted to laugh, but he couldn't laugh on such an occasion. Khan Ama sat beside him, his expression unchanged, and he didn't know what mood he was in at the moment.
Yinyou yelled in Mongolian. Among the younger elder brothers, except for the fifth elder brother Yinqi, everyone else commanded in Manchu, or knew a little Chinese, but hardly knew Mongolian. They looked at each other and didn't know what happened. What.
Yin Qi immediately stood up to support his younger brother: "That's right, our Great Qing's Batulu is very powerful, and he will never lose to you."
As soon as he spoke, the queen mother immediately laughed, very happy, and leaned into the emperor's ear and said: "At this time, you dare to stand up for your brother. Look at these two brothers, they are good boys. Ouch, this Mongolian saying It's so good, it shocked all the Mongolian men."
In the eyes of the empress dowager, only the Horqin tribe is his tribe, and the other tribes are not very close. Instead, everyone stares at each other's territory, but suffers from no chance to make a move.Maybe everyone envies Galdan in their hearts, he doesn't talk about martial arts, and beats anyone who doesn't like him.
The corners of Kangxi's mouth twitched when he heard that, the two brats just didn't understand the rules, and in the eyes of the Queen Mother, they turned out to be a virtue of defending brothers, but they were afraid that they would be punished by themselves, so they hurriedly interceded.
Kangxi has always been a dutiful son, he didn't say anything to his aunt, he was considerate in every way.Now that the empress dowager spoke, he naturally wouldn't argue with the two children.
The elder brother who was cheated by Yinyou had to stand up, brushed off his robe, calmly walked to the center of the field, bowed and clasped his fists to salute Khan Ama: "My son has practiced wrestling since he was a child. It is rare to have this opportunity. I also want to compete with this Mongolian warrior."
In order to attend the celebration banquet in the evening, everyone came back and changed into auspicious clothes.The auspicious clothes are only a little more complicated than the court clothes, and there are still court beads hanging around the neck, so it is impossible to carry out such strenuous exercise.
"Ama Khan please allow my son to go down and change clothes."
Kangxi waved his hand: "Go ahead."
Since the eldest brother is going down to change clothes, it will take some time, so everyone continued to drink and eat meat.
Although the Junggar tribe is arrogant and domineering, and now there is an increasing tendency to ignore the Qing court, other Mongolian tribes are still attached to the Qing Dynasty, especially the Horqin tribe. After several generations of marriage, they have already established a solid relationship. relation.
When Yinyou saw the elder brother going to change clothes, he also stood up from the mat and trotted all the way to chase after him.
Three or four servants inside were changing his clothes. When the elder brother heard the movement of picking up the curtain, he turned his head and saw Yinyou: "Batulu, the bravest man in the Qing Dynasty, is he going to teach me some secrets?"
Yinyou looked at him worriedly: "That man looks so fierce."
The elder brother raised his eyebrows: "Then do I look fierce?"
Yinyou shook his head: "I don't think you can beat him."
"Tell me what I like to hear," the elder brother spread his arms and asked the servants to fasten his belt for him. "If you lose, I will beat you."
Yinyou thought for a long time, and finally found words to encourage his brother: "Then I wish you a little more resistance to beating than me. I usually don't cry when Ama spanks my ass, but I cry when it hurts too much. I will suffer for a while." If you want to cry when you are beaten, bear it, and cry when you come down."
After the elder brother changed his clothes, he turned his head to look at him, and found that the little bun had consciously picked up an orange and began to peel it.
He walked over, took the peeled oranges and stuffed them into his own mouth, and led the man outside: "Go, let's see how your brother beat him up and cried."
When the two returned to the field, the eldest brother asked Yinyou to sit in his seat, the little guy turned around and left, and suddenly ran back and pulled the hem of his clothes, waving his fists and said to him: "Beat him and cry!"
The elder brother patted the back of his head: "Got it."
The elder brother changed his clothes, and the man also changed his clothes. The two stood on the stall in the middle of the field, and first hugged each other to show their friendship.
Manchu wrestling, also known as Buku, is an unarmed fight that focuses on blocking the strength of the feet. One side wins when the other side falls to the ground.
Originally, there was a special short-sleeved jersey, but this trip was originally for hunting, and the elder brother didn't make a special trip to prepare a jersey, only changed into a walking suit that is convenient for activities.
The difference between the two can be seen with the naked eye. The elder brother is not as tall and tall as the other, and looks a whole size smaller.
The two raised their hands and turned half a circle tentatively, looking for each other's flaws.
At the very beginning, Yinyou clenched his fists nervously.Although, compared to the prince, he doesn't like the eldest brother so much.But that was his elder brother after all, and he had given him a rabbit before, so he didn't want his elder brother to lose to that Mongolian.
The Mongolian suddenly stretched his crotch, and came directly in front of the big brother, and stretched out his hand to hug the big brother's waist.
Although the elder brother is not as burly as he is, he is more nimble, and he dodged by turning sideways.
Not to mention Yinyou, the little brothers next to him were also staring at the field.The temperature difference between day and night in the grassland is huge, but at this time, a layer of sweat has already oozed from their palms.
Kangxi, who was sitting high on the dragon chair, was quite calm. He had quite confidence in his eldest son.Although the boss is not as good as the prince in academics, he is not bad at all in riding, shooting and wrestling.
That Mongol is very cunning, his moves are not open and aboveboard at all, he always makes moves behind his back, fast and ruthless, trying to win with one blow.
But the elder brother reacted quickly and didn't give him a chance at all. The two twisted into a knot and competed with each other, trying to trip each other with their feet, but they had to be careful not to be tripped by the other.
At this time, the most nervous person was Concubine Hui, who was sitting next to the imperial concubine, her handkerchief was clenched at her fingertips, her brows were furrowed, and her expression was anxious.
It was his only son who was wrestling with others on the field. They only cared about the victory of the elder brother. As a mother, she was more worried about her son's safety.
From time to time, the Mongol launched an attack on the eldest brother, fast, accurate and ruthless, with a very ruthless style, not at all like a sparring, but rather a fight for life.
The Mongols are free and unrestrained by nature, and they don't have so many rules like the princes of the Qing Dynasty.Seeing the stalemate between the two on the field, they began to shout for their people in Mongolian.
Taking advantage of the two of them holding each other's waist, Yinyou lowered his head and ate two mouthfuls of his deer liver cleanly, and licked his lips contentedly, not forgetting to stuff a piece of it into Yinhu's mouth beside him. .
Kangxi knew that he was not a child who ate alone, so he would definitely give it to his brothers to taste, and the deer liver sent by others was also bigger, and Yinyou couldn't eat that much by himself.
The eunuch serving on the side had already cut it into small pieces for him to eat.
On the other side, seeing Yinyou feeding Yinhu a mouthful, Yinzuo put his head in front of Yinyou and opened his mouth towards him.
Yinyou also grabbed a piece and stuffed it into his mouth, and then there were fifth brother, third brother and elder brother who were a little further away, and none of them could be left behind.
Yinzhen was a little dissatisfied with this, why it was his turn when others came to eat, in his younger brother's heart, was he the elder brother who slept under the quilt since he was a child, or the other brothers were more important.
He pulled Yinyou and refused to let him go, so Yinyou picked up his tea bowl, took a sip of milk tea to relieve the greasy deer liver, Yinzhen hurriedly asked the eunuch who was serving beside him to pour him a bowl of hot one.
At this moment, the competition on the field entered a fierce stage, and the Mongolian could not lower his center of gravity. The elder brother firmly suppressed his lower back and did not give him any chance to stand up, and the two fell into a stalemate again.
Who would have thought that at the next moment, the Mongolian exerted all his strength, grabbed the eldest elder brother's waist and lifted it up, twisting it up. This move was so fierce that Yinti would be overturned to the ground by him if he didn't pay attention.
Yinyou heard the Mongolians shouting louder and louder, couldn't help but jumped up, and shouted at the center of the venue: "Brother, beat him hard!!!"
He yelled out in such a voice, and the elder brothers next to him also yelled as if someone took the lead.
The little guy can do nothing else, he is good at creating atmosphere.He was the smallest, standing in front of his brothers, and when he yelled, his hat would slide down to cover his eyes, so he had to free his hands to support his hat while cheering for his elder brother.
This scene was so ridiculous that the people around didn't even watch the competition on the court, and turned their heads to look at him.Even Kangxi couldn't help turning his head to take a look, and couldn't help laughing.
The moment the opponent rushed forward, the elder brother also controlled the center of gravity at the same time, and moved his body to the side, narrowly dodging his attack.
The Mongol flew into the air, lost his center of gravity, and staggered a bit, that is, the elder brother caught the opening and stretched out his feet to block it, and at the same time, the hand hugging his waist exerted an inch of strength twist in the opposite direction...
At this moment, even the prince next to Kangxi subconsciously stood up.A shout was about to be uttered, but the crown prince's demeanor stopped them between his lips and teeth, and finally he just stood there with a majestic expression and torch-like eyes.
Although he and Big Brother had always been at odds, and neither of them obeyed the other, it was just a competition among their brothers.When facing outsiders, it affects the face of the entire imperial family and even the Qing Dynasty. They must unite and speak out as one!
The Mongolian fell to the ground in response, his eagle eyes were full of dissatisfaction, and he tried to push the eldest brother away, but he was firmly pressed to the ground by the latter, without giving him a chance to stand up.
"it is good!!!"
Kangxi suddenly shouted, stood up and applauded.The royal family members below, the civil and military ministers also stood up with him, applauding one after another, completely covering the voice of the Mongols just now.
Yinyou supported his hat with both hands, jumping up and down excitedly: "Wow! Big brother is so powerful, big brother is the bravest Batulu in the Qing Dynasty!"
The winner was already decided, the elder brother stood up, cupped his hands at the opponent Shi Shiran, and said "Concession", in fact, his expression was arrogant, and he felt that he had won for granted.
At this time, two Mongolian attendants came up from below, one left and one right helped the man up, and called "Second Khan".
At this time, everyone knew that the man was Galdan's son.
However, Galdan's youngest son is also fifteen or sixteen years old this year, and the elder brother is only thirteen years old this year. Thinking about it this way, the eyes of everyone looking at the little Mongolian prince are even more playful.
His son earned him enough face, and the joy on Kangxi's face didn't need to be concealed at all, and he gave him a lot of rewards on the spot.
Concubine Hui at the side was overjoyed, she sat upright and greeted the envious eyes of all the concubines.
At this moment, another Mongolian boy suddenly walked out of the crowd.He walked up to the eldest brother, bowed and saluted first, and then reported his family name: "Horqin Department, Borzigit-Bandi, I wonder if I can have the honor to compete with the eldest brother."
Hearing the voice, Yinyou immediately turned to look: "It's him."
"Huh?" All the brothers raised their heads to look at him, "Do you know him?"
"I saw him today. He wanted to shoot a roe deer, but I let him go."
At this time, when Kangxi heard that the other party reported his family name, there was an expression of appreciation on his face, and he asked the elder brother to discuss with the other party.
The elder brother is a bit baffled. He just won a young son from the Junggar tribe, and another son of King Duoluo from the Horqin tribe.How could he become a guest performer before he had even eaten two bites?
However, Bundy is obviously more talented than the one just now, every move is open and aboveboard, and he will never make small moves behind his back.
But this person is very vigilant, every step is very cautious, he would rather defend blindly than attack easily.
The elder brother couldn't catch his flaws, so he could only spend time with him.
Ever since Kangxi saw this young man, he had been looking up and down with sizing eyes, and even leaned over to whisper to the empress dowager after looking at him.
After the chat, he still seemed dissatisfied, so he called Prince Gong over and chatted a few more words.
The two people on the field seemed to be at odds with each other, neither would accept the other, and neither could do anything to the other, so they remained in a stalemate for a long time.
In the end, Kangxi came out to smooth things over: "Okay, since there is no winner or loser, let's count it as a draw and reward both."
Everyone found it strange that although this Mongolian boy was from the Horqin tribe, Kangxi's attitude towards him was very different from that of the previous one. Is there any secret behind this?
Yinyou hasn't cultivated the habit of speculating on his Ama's mind, but he just thinks that Bandi is so powerful that he can even draw with his elder brother.
After the celebration banquet was over, Yinyou's belly was also plump.No one cares about him tonight, he can eat whatever he wants, whatever is delicious.I ate a lot of venison, rabbit, and pheasant.
He didn't want to go back when he was full, and clamored to take a walk in the camp. The imperial concubine was also worried that he would not digest, so she walked with him.
The little guy raised his head and looked at the top of his head. Sure enough, as Rong Ruo said, there were many stars.
However, after a few steps in the camp, a cluster of torches will be lit, illuminating the entire camp brightly, and the stars blink mischievously, looming.
Yinyou remembered the previous request again: "Emiang, I want to live in a tent."
"There's no tent for you to live in."
"Then why can big brother live in a tent?"
"Because big brother grows up and can live in a tent by himself, but you are too young and have to stay with Er Niang, so you can't live in a tent."
Yinyou sighed in disappointment, and kicked the pebbles in the grass: "I want to lie next to the lake deep in the grassland, and I can see the sky full of stars when I open my eyes."
What he said, even the imperial concubine was a little moved.However, the old mother is a science student after all, and she doesn't have so many romantic feelings, so she told her son to go back to sleep obediently.
"Do you still remember the story of Little Red Riding Hood that Er Niang told you? There are big bad wolves on the grassland, who only eat disobedient children."
"I remember, but I'm not..."
Speaking of this, Yinyou suddenly remembered something, his eyes kept looking up, trying to see the color on the top of his hat clearly, the smile on his face gradually froze, and he immediately untied the string on his chin: "I don't want to wear a hat anymore, I Don't wear it anymore, Er Niang, help me take it off..."
He was so noisy that no one could stand the noise, so the imperial concubine simply hugged him up: "The grassland is windy, so you can pick it up when you go back. You mother will protect you, no one dares to come."
The little guy leaned against his mother's arms, so he felt at ease.The small arms were tightly wrapped around Er Niang's neck, and her head leaned obediently on Er Niang's shoulder, watching the long shadow cast by the torch on the ground, and fell asleep after watching.
He went out to play crazy all day, and at night there was a banquet and a wrestling competition, but he was so excited that he was so energetic that he was a little unconscious, and he fell asleep deeply.
The first day was too tiring, and no one called him in the morning. When Yinyou woke up, only Li Xi was by his side, and the imperial concubine had disappeared.
Yinyou thought that Ama's itinerary today was still hunting, so he deliberately didn't take him with him, but he was in a hurry.
Li Xi hurriedly dressed him: "Don't worry, don't worry, the emperor won't be hunting today, he is meeting with the empress dowager's family in the front hall."
Yinyou asked: "Where is my mother?"
"Your mother-in-law has also passed."
After getting dressed and washing, Yinyou sat at the table and waited obediently.Li Xi brought a bowl of milk and put it in front of him, the little guy didn't even think about it, he held the bowl with both hands and drank it with his head up, and poured it all into his stomach in one breath.
Only then did he raise his head and said, "Aunt Xi, I don't think the milk tastes right today."
Li Xi wiped his mouth with a handkerchief: "You didn't realize it was wrong until you finished drinking."
"I caught it at the first bite, but I couldn't stop."
Li Xi was amused by him, and he was so happy early in the morning: "What do you mean you can't stop?"
Yinyou stretched his waist in satisfaction: "It's so delicious!"
"This is milk from cows running free on the grasslands."
"Oh!" Yinyou nodded, and glanced at the bowl again, "I want to take some back."
"What to bring back, it will be broken on the way." Li Xi thought the milk tasted so good that he wanted to drink it every day, "You might as well drink more during these few days."
"I'm going to take it back for Mama Ukuma and Madam Su to taste."
The imperial concubine walked in, just in time to hear what he said, he must and she must find a way to fulfill her son's filial piety: "We can bring some other dairy products home."
As soon as the words here were finished, a eunuch came to pass the word over there, saying that the queen mother asked the imperial concubine to take the eldest princess to the front hall.
"Huh?" Yinyou tilted his head and thought for a while before realizing that the eldest princess is his eldest sister.
In fact, the eldest princess is the daughter of Prince Gong, one year older than the elder brother.At that time, all the children in the palace died young without exception.Prince Gong Changning's side Fujin was sent to the palace shortly after giving birth to his daughter, and became Kangxi's adopted daughter, who was named the eldest princess.
However, the eldest princess and Yinyou are too different in age, and later she returned to live in Prince Gong's mansion, and she didn't get along with Yinyou much.
At this time, the eldest princess had come over and was waiting at the door.The imperial concubine went out cleanly and led her to the front hall.
Yinyou followed behind them like a little tail.
They were led by the consultants and entered through the back door.Inside is a small area separated by a screen, with two chairs placed, it looks quite simple, but the conditions of the palace are just like that.
Yinyou also followed in, looking out curiously through the gap in the screen.His Ama and Mama sat there, and there were several Mongolians below him. He only knew one boy, the boy named Bundy.
Neither the imperial concubine nor the eldest princess could understand Mongolian, and this little guy followed him by himself, which was just in handy.
The imperial concubine whispered in her son's ear: "Listen to what they said, and whisper it to Er Niang."
At Yinyou's age, although Mongolian and Manchu are both his mother tongue, simultaneous interpretation of the two languages is also very difficult for him.
"His name is Bundy, he is the youngest son of..., smart, brave, loyal..."
Manchu is mixed with Mongolian, and occasionally one or two Chinese words are brought out. The imperial concubine has to guess when she hears him, but the key information is there-this boy named Bandi has a good character.
The eldest princess lowered her head gradually, and a blush quickly spread on her cheeks.She had seen this boy from a distance at the celebration banquet last night, but it was night, the distance was too far, and the light was dim, so she couldn't see it very clearly.
The imperial concubine came close to her ear and said: "The emperor intends to give you a marriage. The empress dowager loves you so much, let you come and see."
The eldest princess lowered her head again, wanting to see but also shy.After all, she was a Manchu woman, her curiosity overcame her sense of shame, she walked to the screen and looked out.
Although the boy was dark-skinned, he looked very energetic, and he had a simple and honest feeling that she had never seen before, which made people quite fond of him.
After sitting for a long time, the imperial concubine brought her out.Yinyou also came out, chased after them and listened for a long time before he understood vaguely that it turned out that Ama wanted to marry the eldest sister to the Mongolian boy.
The imperial concubine patted her hand: "I heard from the queen mother that this matter is not so urgent. When you get married depends on the emperor's arrangement. You have to wait a few years until you get married."
The eldest princess turned her head to the side: "Your Majesty, you are laughing at me."
The imperial concubine didn't laugh at her. Compared to her elder brother who arranged for her when she was young, she didn't want to see these princesses getting married when they were still underage.Since marriage is not up to oneself, then try to let them grow up a bit before getting married.
Yinyou seemed to be more excited than his big sister, running around them: "That Bandi, Rongruo and I met him yesterday. We were chasing a roe deer. He first asked us if we wanted to shoot it, and then I let the roe deer go, and he didn't get angry."
Yinyou has a very good influence on this Mongolian boy, not only because of the roe deer, but also because he is from the Horqin Prairie: "He is also a member of Ukumama's tribe, and he can even wrestle with his elder brother, isn't he very good?"
The eldest princess was even more embarrassed by what he said, and raised her hand: "Believe it or not, I will hit you?"
"Why did you hit me, don't you like him like that?"
"Go, go, go and play." The imperial concubine chased him away, "Little brat, do you know what liking is?"
Although Yinyou doesn't know what liking between a man and a woman is, he understands a truth, sincere and kind people are always likable, just like Ziqing, like Rong Ruo, like the little eunuch Zhao Cheng, like that Mongolian boy...
Er Niang chased him away, so he made a face and ran away.
Walking around in the garden, he remembered the tent outside again, and was about to go to the door to have a look.
As soon as he walked to the door, before he had time to poke his head out, he heard someone calling him from behind: "Brother Seven."
Yinyou was startled, thinking that he was caught straight again and would be caught by Ama.Looking up at the guards and eunuchs around him, he realized that the people behind him were calling him in Mongolian.
So, he turned his head and saw Bundy.
The other party was standing not far away looking at him, Yinyou went to greet him, and it was revealed as soon as he opened his mouth: "Aren't you inside?"
Bandi froze for a moment, seemed to understand something, but did not say it: "My father is talking with the emperor inside, and asked me to wait for him here. We will leave for Horqin in the afternoon."
Yinyou nodded and waved goodbye to him: "Goodbye!"
"..."
Bandi was stunned again, and the day was so chatty, he was obviously not mentally prepared.
After thinking about it, the boy took something from his neck: "This is for you."
Yinyou stood on tiptoe to look, and there was something in the shape of a crescent moon on the rope, with a pointy front: "What is this?"
"It's a wolf tooth, I made it. In our prairie, wearing a wolf tooth symbolizes auspiciousness and can keep you safe, so I will give it to you."
"Thank you!" Yinyou took it and looked carefully.
Bandi squatted down and looked at him with a smile: "If you accept my gift, then we will be Anda."
The word "Anda" is a bit unfamiliar to Yinyou. The Empress Dowager and Aunt Su Ma have never mentioned it, nor has he heard of it.
He asked, "What do you mean?"
"It means brother."
Yinyou nodded, anyway, he has many brothers, one more is not too much, so he readily accepted.
The little guy thought, since we are brothers, and I accepted his gift, I should give him something in return.
He lowered his head and rummaged in the net for a long time, then raised his head, and asked the other party very solemnly: "What toys do you like?"
"Ah?" Bundy didn't expect that the exchange of tokens between brothers would turn into exchanging toys with children in an instant.
Yinyou said solemnly: "I don't bring many, you pick one."
"..."
The elder brother sat on the mat beside Yinyou, bent one leg, and put one hand on his knee casually, looking nonchalant: "Wrestling show."
Yin Qi asked: "Didn't you perform before?"
"That's dancing, and next is jousting."
"Wow!!!"
Hearing the contest, several children next to him raised their heads one after another, all of them had excitement and anticipation written on their faces.
It’s not that they haven’t seen wrestling, but most of the time, it’s the guards and Ama or Haha Zhuzi and the brothers. How dare the slaves really wrestle when facing the master. .
But this is different. There are not only the brave and skilled soldiers of the Qing Dynasty, but also the Mongols. They grew up riding and wrestling on the grassland all the year round. Naturally, horse wrestling is no problem.
Since the establishment of the Mulan Paddock in the 20th year of Kangxi, the annual Mulan Autumn Festival has only been held for four years. The scale was relatively small in the first two years. A team of hundreds of people came.
Since last year, Kangxi has asked several tribes close to the Mulan paddock to participate in the autumn festival. On the one hand, it is to let them see the military strength of the Qing Dynasty, and on the other hand, it is also to learn about the situation of other ministries, especially the recent ones. For many years, the Zhungeer Ministry has been busy conquering the East and West, and constantly expanding its sphere of influence.
Until this year, Kangxi officially regarded Mulan Qiuxi as an important military exercise.Not only did he bring tens of thousands of elite soldiers, but he also notified the princes of various Mongolian tribes in advance, asking them to send people to participate, and the princess married from afar also came with her forehead. The scale and momentum were incomparable in previous years .
There was a wrestling performance at last year's celebration banquet. Kangxi sent several guards around him to compete with the Mongolian prince. The main purpose was to add to the fun when the emperor ate meat and drank.
This year, there are more people, and naturally this performance was arranged. At the beginning, young people from various Mongolian tribes competed.They are all dark and rough, and tall.
They will introduce their identities before going on the field. When they hear their ages, there will always be some discussions on Daqing's side, because their appearance looks far from their ages.
The wrestling on the field was very exciting, and the deer liver in his mouth was also delicious. Yinyou watched the show and enjoyed the food. He was all Mongolians anyway. He didn't know any of them, and he didn't have any preference. He just watched the fun.
Not long after, it was the turn of the people sent by the Qing Dynasty to play.Although they were just the bodyguards around Kangxi, all of them were relatives of the emperor. If they were not related to the royal family, they would never have become the emperor's personal bodyguards.
In terms of status, they are no worse than these princes and nobles.
Since there are warriors from the Qing Dynasty playing, it is not a pure performance, but a real competition.
The little elder brothers sitting together also took a stand, put down the meat in their hands one after another, and began to secretly cheer for the people on their side.
They are all princes who have been educated since childhood. Although the nervousness and excitement can be seen from their eyes, they are very calm on the surface. It's just that when the person photographed by the Qing Dynasty wins, they applaud louder.
Kangxi is the king of a country, sitting on the throne at the front seems to be very calm, giving rewards no matter whether he wins or loses.
At this time, a prince from the Mongolian tribe suddenly stood up and said to Kangxi: "I heard that all the elder brothers in the Qing Dynasty are both civil and military. Compete with the boys on our grassland."
This is obviously to cause trouble. If Kangxi refuses to agree, he admits that his son is not as good as those Mongolian teenagers. If he agrees, he doesn't study on the grassland and just practices this all day long. His son may not win.
Besides, apart from the elder brother and the prince, the other princes are still young, who else can compete?
At this time, all the eyes on the scene turned to the Mongolian who was speaking in the middle, and then everyone looked at each other.Ask in a low voice, who is this person, what is his background, dare to make such a request to the emperor.
After all, there are dozens of tribes in Mongolia, and this time there were hundreds of people in total, and Kangxi didn't know all of them, let alone the women in the harem.
Although the mothers and elder brothers raised in the deep palace didn't know each other, many generals present were very familiar with him, even Kangxi knew him.
He is from the Junggar tribe of Mongolia and is Wenchun, the younger brother of the leader Galdan.
There are 32 divisions in the Eighteenth League of Mongolia, and they are the most arrogant.
Galdan has led his cavalry to the Uzbek Khanate this year, where he has time to participate in the hunting of the Qing emperor. Sending his nephew here is already enough to give the Qing emperor enough face.
He had already said his words in front of so many princes and ministers, so it was impossible for Kangxi not to agree. It just so happened that he also wanted to take this opportunity to wipe out the arrogance of the Junggar tribe.
The crown prince was younger, and he was the heir apparent of the country. He was the only one with a noble status. Naturally, it was impossible for him to be sent out to wrestle with the Mongols.
The age and status are suitable, and the only one who is good at wrestling is the eldest brother.Not to mention the few princes in the palace, even if you look at the royal family members of his generation, no one can match him.
At this time, the candidate who had been prepared by the Junggar Department came to the center of the venue. Yinyou turned his head and looked over with his brothers. The little princes all stared wide-eyed. A Mongolian man in his twenties.
In fact, when their Khan Ama agreed to come down for this competition, they had already guessed that the person who would go out to compete with others would only be the elder brother.
Yinyou turned his head to look at the elder brother. He used to think that the elder brother's arms were so strong and strong that he could lift himself up with one hand.
Compared with that person now, the eldest brother is also much taller and slender.
Yinyou stretched out his hand and slapped his elder brother on the shoulder: "Are you afraid?"
Big Brother looked surprised and said, "What am I afraid of? Aren't you the bravest Batulu in the Qing Dynasty? You should be the one."
Yinyou thought that what he said made sense, and stood up as soon as he slapped the table. Rao, the elder brother was quick enough to react, and he couldn't hold him back.
The little guy made a lot of noise, and everyone around responded to his voice and looked in his direction.
The imperial concubine gave a "thump" in her heart: "What kind of monster is my son going to do again? At this time, in front of so many people, he can't be ashamed and thrown to Mongolia."
When Kangxi saw that it was his temple, he jumped up suddenly. How could this brat stand up at the most critical moment every time, and what was he going to do today.
The other concubines all looked at Yinyou as if they were watching the excitement, wondering what shocking words would come out of Seventh Brother's mouth.
At this time, the prince frowned. He has been sitting beside Khan Ama all day, helping to deal with the princes and ministers. He only had time to send a rabbit leg to Yinyou, so he didn't pay much attention.
Next, the protagonist is obviously the eldest brother, why did this little group suddenly stand up.
Bundy has been sitting with his father all the time. He is different from others. He has to look at the little elder brothers from time to time.They were wearing similar clothes and hats, all of them were beautifully carved, but the most lively and lovely one was the Seventh Brother.
At this time, the person standing in the center of the field also turned his head to look at Yinyou.His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, and the moment Yinyou and him looked at each other, he was immediately frightened.
"You...don't be arrogant, my elder brother is amazing, he will definitely defeat you!"
"???"
Big Brother still held his hand in the air, but he never expected that Little Baozi stood up aggressively, opened his mouth and sold him without any hesitation.
The prince's frown suddenly relaxed. Hearing Xiaotuanzi's words, he wanted to laugh, but he couldn't laugh on such an occasion. Khan Ama sat beside him, his expression unchanged, and he didn't know what mood he was in at the moment.
Yinyou yelled in Mongolian. Among the younger elder brothers, except for the fifth elder brother Yinqi, everyone else commanded in Manchu, or knew a little Chinese, but hardly knew Mongolian. They looked at each other and didn't know what happened. What.
Yin Qi immediately stood up to support his younger brother: "That's right, our Great Qing's Batulu is very powerful, and he will never lose to you."
As soon as he spoke, the queen mother immediately laughed, very happy, and leaned into the emperor's ear and said: "At this time, you dare to stand up for your brother. Look at these two brothers, they are good boys. Ouch, this Mongolian saying It's so good, it shocked all the Mongolian men."
In the eyes of the empress dowager, only the Horqin tribe is his tribe, and the other tribes are not very close. Instead, everyone stares at each other's territory, but suffers from no chance to make a move.Maybe everyone envies Galdan in their hearts, he doesn't talk about martial arts, and beats anyone who doesn't like him.
The corners of Kangxi's mouth twitched when he heard that, the two brats just didn't understand the rules, and in the eyes of the Queen Mother, they turned out to be a virtue of defending brothers, but they were afraid that they would be punished by themselves, so they hurriedly interceded.
Kangxi has always been a dutiful son, he didn't say anything to his aunt, he was considerate in every way.Now that the empress dowager spoke, he naturally wouldn't argue with the two children.
The elder brother who was cheated by Yinyou had to stand up, brushed off his robe, calmly walked to the center of the field, bowed and clasped his fists to salute Khan Ama: "My son has practiced wrestling since he was a child. It is rare to have this opportunity. I also want to compete with this Mongolian warrior."
In order to attend the celebration banquet in the evening, everyone came back and changed into auspicious clothes.The auspicious clothes are only a little more complicated than the court clothes, and there are still court beads hanging around the neck, so it is impossible to carry out such strenuous exercise.
"Ama Khan please allow my son to go down and change clothes."
Kangxi waved his hand: "Go ahead."
Since the eldest brother is going down to change clothes, it will take some time, so everyone continued to drink and eat meat.
Although the Junggar tribe is arrogant and domineering, and now there is an increasing tendency to ignore the Qing court, other Mongolian tribes are still attached to the Qing Dynasty, especially the Horqin tribe. After several generations of marriage, they have already established a solid relationship. relation.
When Yinyou saw the elder brother going to change clothes, he also stood up from the mat and trotted all the way to chase after him.
Three or four servants inside were changing his clothes. When the elder brother heard the movement of picking up the curtain, he turned his head and saw Yinyou: "Batulu, the bravest man in the Qing Dynasty, is he going to teach me some secrets?"
Yinyou looked at him worriedly: "That man looks so fierce."
The elder brother raised his eyebrows: "Then do I look fierce?"
Yinyou shook his head: "I don't think you can beat him."
"Tell me what I like to hear," the elder brother spread his arms and asked the servants to fasten his belt for him. "If you lose, I will beat you."
Yinyou thought for a long time, and finally found words to encourage his brother: "Then I wish you a little more resistance to beating than me. I usually don't cry when Ama spanks my ass, but I cry when it hurts too much. I will suffer for a while." If you want to cry when you are beaten, bear it, and cry when you come down."
After the elder brother changed his clothes, he turned his head to look at him, and found that the little bun had consciously picked up an orange and began to peel it.
He walked over, took the peeled oranges and stuffed them into his own mouth, and led the man outside: "Go, let's see how your brother beat him up and cried."
When the two returned to the field, the eldest brother asked Yinyou to sit in his seat, the little guy turned around and left, and suddenly ran back and pulled the hem of his clothes, waving his fists and said to him: "Beat him and cry!"
The elder brother patted the back of his head: "Got it."
The elder brother changed his clothes, and the man also changed his clothes. The two stood on the stall in the middle of the field, and first hugged each other to show their friendship.
Manchu wrestling, also known as Buku, is an unarmed fight that focuses on blocking the strength of the feet. One side wins when the other side falls to the ground.
Originally, there was a special short-sleeved jersey, but this trip was originally for hunting, and the elder brother didn't make a special trip to prepare a jersey, only changed into a walking suit that is convenient for activities.
The difference between the two can be seen with the naked eye. The elder brother is not as tall and tall as the other, and looks a whole size smaller.
The two raised their hands and turned half a circle tentatively, looking for each other's flaws.
At the very beginning, Yinyou clenched his fists nervously.Although, compared to the prince, he doesn't like the eldest brother so much.But that was his elder brother after all, and he had given him a rabbit before, so he didn't want his elder brother to lose to that Mongolian.
The Mongolian suddenly stretched his crotch, and came directly in front of the big brother, and stretched out his hand to hug the big brother's waist.
Although the elder brother is not as burly as he is, he is more nimble, and he dodged by turning sideways.
Not to mention Yinyou, the little brothers next to him were also staring at the field.The temperature difference between day and night in the grassland is huge, but at this time, a layer of sweat has already oozed from their palms.
Kangxi, who was sitting high on the dragon chair, was quite calm. He had quite confidence in his eldest son.Although the boss is not as good as the prince in academics, he is not bad at all in riding, shooting and wrestling.
That Mongol is very cunning, his moves are not open and aboveboard at all, he always makes moves behind his back, fast and ruthless, trying to win with one blow.
But the elder brother reacted quickly and didn't give him a chance at all. The two twisted into a knot and competed with each other, trying to trip each other with their feet, but they had to be careful not to be tripped by the other.
At this time, the most nervous person was Concubine Hui, who was sitting next to the imperial concubine, her handkerchief was clenched at her fingertips, her brows were furrowed, and her expression was anxious.
It was his only son who was wrestling with others on the field. They only cared about the victory of the elder brother. As a mother, she was more worried about her son's safety.
From time to time, the Mongol launched an attack on the eldest brother, fast, accurate and ruthless, with a very ruthless style, not at all like a sparring, but rather a fight for life.
The Mongols are free and unrestrained by nature, and they don't have so many rules like the princes of the Qing Dynasty.Seeing the stalemate between the two on the field, they began to shout for their people in Mongolian.
Taking advantage of the two of them holding each other's waist, Yinyou lowered his head and ate two mouthfuls of his deer liver cleanly, and licked his lips contentedly, not forgetting to stuff a piece of it into Yinhu's mouth beside him. .
Kangxi knew that he was not a child who ate alone, so he would definitely give it to his brothers to taste, and the deer liver sent by others was also bigger, and Yinyou couldn't eat that much by himself.
The eunuch serving on the side had already cut it into small pieces for him to eat.
On the other side, seeing Yinyou feeding Yinhu a mouthful, Yinzuo put his head in front of Yinyou and opened his mouth towards him.
Yinyou also grabbed a piece and stuffed it into his mouth, and then there were fifth brother, third brother and elder brother who were a little further away, and none of them could be left behind.
Yinzhen was a little dissatisfied with this, why it was his turn when others came to eat, in his younger brother's heart, was he the elder brother who slept under the quilt since he was a child, or the other brothers were more important.
He pulled Yinyou and refused to let him go, so Yinyou picked up his tea bowl, took a sip of milk tea to relieve the greasy deer liver, Yinzhen hurriedly asked the eunuch who was serving beside him to pour him a bowl of hot one.
At this moment, the competition on the field entered a fierce stage, and the Mongolian could not lower his center of gravity. The elder brother firmly suppressed his lower back and did not give him any chance to stand up, and the two fell into a stalemate again.
Who would have thought that at the next moment, the Mongolian exerted all his strength, grabbed the eldest elder brother's waist and lifted it up, twisting it up. This move was so fierce that Yinti would be overturned to the ground by him if he didn't pay attention.
Yinyou heard the Mongolians shouting louder and louder, couldn't help but jumped up, and shouted at the center of the venue: "Brother, beat him hard!!!"
He yelled out in such a voice, and the elder brothers next to him also yelled as if someone took the lead.
The little guy can do nothing else, he is good at creating atmosphere.He was the smallest, standing in front of his brothers, and when he yelled, his hat would slide down to cover his eyes, so he had to free his hands to support his hat while cheering for his elder brother.
This scene was so ridiculous that the people around didn't even watch the competition on the court, and turned their heads to look at him.Even Kangxi couldn't help turning his head to take a look, and couldn't help laughing.
The moment the opponent rushed forward, the elder brother also controlled the center of gravity at the same time, and moved his body to the side, narrowly dodging his attack.
The Mongol flew into the air, lost his center of gravity, and staggered a bit, that is, the elder brother caught the opening and stretched out his feet to block it, and at the same time, the hand hugging his waist exerted an inch of strength twist in the opposite direction...
At this moment, even the prince next to Kangxi subconsciously stood up.A shout was about to be uttered, but the crown prince's demeanor stopped them between his lips and teeth, and finally he just stood there with a majestic expression and torch-like eyes.
Although he and Big Brother had always been at odds, and neither of them obeyed the other, it was just a competition among their brothers.When facing outsiders, it affects the face of the entire imperial family and even the Qing Dynasty. They must unite and speak out as one!
The Mongolian fell to the ground in response, his eagle eyes were full of dissatisfaction, and he tried to push the eldest brother away, but he was firmly pressed to the ground by the latter, without giving him a chance to stand up.
"it is good!!!"
Kangxi suddenly shouted, stood up and applauded.The royal family members below, the civil and military ministers also stood up with him, applauding one after another, completely covering the voice of the Mongols just now.
Yinyou supported his hat with both hands, jumping up and down excitedly: "Wow! Big brother is so powerful, big brother is the bravest Batulu in the Qing Dynasty!"
The winner was already decided, the elder brother stood up, cupped his hands at the opponent Shi Shiran, and said "Concession", in fact, his expression was arrogant, and he felt that he had won for granted.
At this time, two Mongolian attendants came up from below, one left and one right helped the man up, and called "Second Khan".
At this time, everyone knew that the man was Galdan's son.
However, Galdan's youngest son is also fifteen or sixteen years old this year, and the elder brother is only thirteen years old this year. Thinking about it this way, the eyes of everyone looking at the little Mongolian prince are even more playful.
His son earned him enough face, and the joy on Kangxi's face didn't need to be concealed at all, and he gave him a lot of rewards on the spot.
Concubine Hui at the side was overjoyed, she sat upright and greeted the envious eyes of all the concubines.
At this moment, another Mongolian boy suddenly walked out of the crowd.He walked up to the eldest brother, bowed and saluted first, and then reported his family name: "Horqin Department, Borzigit-Bandi, I wonder if I can have the honor to compete with the eldest brother."
Hearing the voice, Yinyou immediately turned to look: "It's him."
"Huh?" All the brothers raised their heads to look at him, "Do you know him?"
"I saw him today. He wanted to shoot a roe deer, but I let him go."
At this time, when Kangxi heard that the other party reported his family name, there was an expression of appreciation on his face, and he asked the elder brother to discuss with the other party.
The elder brother is a bit baffled. He just won a young son from the Junggar tribe, and another son of King Duoluo from the Horqin tribe.How could he become a guest performer before he had even eaten two bites?
However, Bundy is obviously more talented than the one just now, every move is open and aboveboard, and he will never make small moves behind his back.
But this person is very vigilant, every step is very cautious, he would rather defend blindly than attack easily.
The elder brother couldn't catch his flaws, so he could only spend time with him.
Ever since Kangxi saw this young man, he had been looking up and down with sizing eyes, and even leaned over to whisper to the empress dowager after looking at him.
After the chat, he still seemed dissatisfied, so he called Prince Gong over and chatted a few more words.
The two people on the field seemed to be at odds with each other, neither would accept the other, and neither could do anything to the other, so they remained in a stalemate for a long time.
In the end, Kangxi came out to smooth things over: "Okay, since there is no winner or loser, let's count it as a draw and reward both."
Everyone found it strange that although this Mongolian boy was from the Horqin tribe, Kangxi's attitude towards him was very different from that of the previous one. Is there any secret behind this?
Yinyou hasn't cultivated the habit of speculating on his Ama's mind, but he just thinks that Bandi is so powerful that he can even draw with his elder brother.
After the celebration banquet was over, Yinyou's belly was also plump.No one cares about him tonight, he can eat whatever he wants, whatever is delicious.I ate a lot of venison, rabbit, and pheasant.
He didn't want to go back when he was full, and clamored to take a walk in the camp. The imperial concubine was also worried that he would not digest, so she walked with him.
The little guy raised his head and looked at the top of his head. Sure enough, as Rong Ruo said, there were many stars.
However, after a few steps in the camp, a cluster of torches will be lit, illuminating the entire camp brightly, and the stars blink mischievously, looming.
Yinyou remembered the previous request again: "Emiang, I want to live in a tent."
"There's no tent for you to live in."
"Then why can big brother live in a tent?"
"Because big brother grows up and can live in a tent by himself, but you are too young and have to stay with Er Niang, so you can't live in a tent."
Yinyou sighed in disappointment, and kicked the pebbles in the grass: "I want to lie next to the lake deep in the grassland, and I can see the sky full of stars when I open my eyes."
What he said, even the imperial concubine was a little moved.However, the old mother is a science student after all, and she doesn't have so many romantic feelings, so she told her son to go back to sleep obediently.
"Do you still remember the story of Little Red Riding Hood that Er Niang told you? There are big bad wolves on the grassland, who only eat disobedient children."
"I remember, but I'm not..."
Speaking of this, Yinyou suddenly remembered something, his eyes kept looking up, trying to see the color on the top of his hat clearly, the smile on his face gradually froze, and he immediately untied the string on his chin: "I don't want to wear a hat anymore, I Don't wear it anymore, Er Niang, help me take it off..."
He was so noisy that no one could stand the noise, so the imperial concubine simply hugged him up: "The grassland is windy, so you can pick it up when you go back. You mother will protect you, no one dares to come."
The little guy leaned against his mother's arms, so he felt at ease.The small arms were tightly wrapped around Er Niang's neck, and her head leaned obediently on Er Niang's shoulder, watching the long shadow cast by the torch on the ground, and fell asleep after watching.
He went out to play crazy all day, and at night there was a banquet and a wrestling competition, but he was so excited that he was so energetic that he was a little unconscious, and he fell asleep deeply.
The first day was too tiring, and no one called him in the morning. When Yinyou woke up, only Li Xi was by his side, and the imperial concubine had disappeared.
Yinyou thought that Ama's itinerary today was still hunting, so he deliberately didn't take him with him, but he was in a hurry.
Li Xi hurriedly dressed him: "Don't worry, don't worry, the emperor won't be hunting today, he is meeting with the empress dowager's family in the front hall."
Yinyou asked: "Where is my mother?"
"Your mother-in-law has also passed."
After getting dressed and washing, Yinyou sat at the table and waited obediently.Li Xi brought a bowl of milk and put it in front of him, the little guy didn't even think about it, he held the bowl with both hands and drank it with his head up, and poured it all into his stomach in one breath.
Only then did he raise his head and said, "Aunt Xi, I don't think the milk tastes right today."
Li Xi wiped his mouth with a handkerchief: "You didn't realize it was wrong until you finished drinking."
"I caught it at the first bite, but I couldn't stop."
Li Xi was amused by him, and he was so happy early in the morning: "What do you mean you can't stop?"
Yinyou stretched his waist in satisfaction: "It's so delicious!"
"This is milk from cows running free on the grasslands."
"Oh!" Yinyou nodded, and glanced at the bowl again, "I want to take some back."
"What to bring back, it will be broken on the way." Li Xi thought the milk tasted so good that he wanted to drink it every day, "You might as well drink more during these few days."
"I'm going to take it back for Mama Ukuma and Madam Su to taste."
The imperial concubine walked in, just in time to hear what he said, he must and she must find a way to fulfill her son's filial piety: "We can bring some other dairy products home."
As soon as the words here were finished, a eunuch came to pass the word over there, saying that the queen mother asked the imperial concubine to take the eldest princess to the front hall.
"Huh?" Yinyou tilted his head and thought for a while before realizing that the eldest princess is his eldest sister.
In fact, the eldest princess is the daughter of Prince Gong, one year older than the elder brother.At that time, all the children in the palace died young without exception.Prince Gong Changning's side Fujin was sent to the palace shortly after giving birth to his daughter, and became Kangxi's adopted daughter, who was named the eldest princess.
However, the eldest princess and Yinyou are too different in age, and later she returned to live in Prince Gong's mansion, and she didn't get along with Yinyou much.
At this time, the eldest princess had come over and was waiting at the door.The imperial concubine went out cleanly and led her to the front hall.
Yinyou followed behind them like a little tail.
They were led by the consultants and entered through the back door.Inside is a small area separated by a screen, with two chairs placed, it looks quite simple, but the conditions of the palace are just like that.
Yinyou also followed in, looking out curiously through the gap in the screen.His Ama and Mama sat there, and there were several Mongolians below him. He only knew one boy, the boy named Bundy.
Neither the imperial concubine nor the eldest princess could understand Mongolian, and this little guy followed him by himself, which was just in handy.
The imperial concubine whispered in her son's ear: "Listen to what they said, and whisper it to Er Niang."
At Yinyou's age, although Mongolian and Manchu are both his mother tongue, simultaneous interpretation of the two languages is also very difficult for him.
"His name is Bundy, he is the youngest son of..., smart, brave, loyal..."
Manchu is mixed with Mongolian, and occasionally one or two Chinese words are brought out. The imperial concubine has to guess when she hears him, but the key information is there-this boy named Bandi has a good character.
The eldest princess lowered her head gradually, and a blush quickly spread on her cheeks.She had seen this boy from a distance at the celebration banquet last night, but it was night, the distance was too far, and the light was dim, so she couldn't see it very clearly.
The imperial concubine came close to her ear and said: "The emperor intends to give you a marriage. The empress dowager loves you so much, let you come and see."
The eldest princess lowered her head again, wanting to see but also shy.After all, she was a Manchu woman, her curiosity overcame her sense of shame, she walked to the screen and looked out.
Although the boy was dark-skinned, he looked very energetic, and he had a simple and honest feeling that she had never seen before, which made people quite fond of him.
After sitting for a long time, the imperial concubine brought her out.Yinyou also came out, chased after them and listened for a long time before he understood vaguely that it turned out that Ama wanted to marry the eldest sister to the Mongolian boy.
The imperial concubine patted her hand: "I heard from the queen mother that this matter is not so urgent. When you get married depends on the emperor's arrangement. You have to wait a few years until you get married."
The eldest princess turned her head to the side: "Your Majesty, you are laughing at me."
The imperial concubine didn't laugh at her. Compared to her elder brother who arranged for her when she was young, she didn't want to see these princesses getting married when they were still underage.Since marriage is not up to oneself, then try to let them grow up a bit before getting married.
Yinyou seemed to be more excited than his big sister, running around them: "That Bandi, Rongruo and I met him yesterday. We were chasing a roe deer. He first asked us if we wanted to shoot it, and then I let the roe deer go, and he didn't get angry."
Yinyou has a very good influence on this Mongolian boy, not only because of the roe deer, but also because he is from the Horqin Prairie: "He is also a member of Ukumama's tribe, and he can even wrestle with his elder brother, isn't he very good?"
The eldest princess was even more embarrassed by what he said, and raised her hand: "Believe it or not, I will hit you?"
"Why did you hit me, don't you like him like that?"
"Go, go, go and play." The imperial concubine chased him away, "Little brat, do you know what liking is?"
Although Yinyou doesn't know what liking between a man and a woman is, he understands a truth, sincere and kind people are always likable, just like Ziqing, like Rong Ruo, like the little eunuch Zhao Cheng, like that Mongolian boy...
Er Niang chased him away, so he made a face and ran away.
Walking around in the garden, he remembered the tent outside again, and was about to go to the door to have a look.
As soon as he walked to the door, before he had time to poke his head out, he heard someone calling him from behind: "Brother Seven."
Yinyou was startled, thinking that he was caught straight again and would be caught by Ama.Looking up at the guards and eunuchs around him, he realized that the people behind him were calling him in Mongolian.
So, he turned his head and saw Bundy.
The other party was standing not far away looking at him, Yinyou went to greet him, and it was revealed as soon as he opened his mouth: "Aren't you inside?"
Bandi froze for a moment, seemed to understand something, but did not say it: "My father is talking with the emperor inside, and asked me to wait for him here. We will leave for Horqin in the afternoon."
Yinyou nodded and waved goodbye to him: "Goodbye!"
"..."
Bandi was stunned again, and the day was so chatty, he was obviously not mentally prepared.
After thinking about it, the boy took something from his neck: "This is for you."
Yinyou stood on tiptoe to look, and there was something in the shape of a crescent moon on the rope, with a pointy front: "What is this?"
"It's a wolf tooth, I made it. In our prairie, wearing a wolf tooth symbolizes auspiciousness and can keep you safe, so I will give it to you."
"Thank you!" Yinyou took it and looked carefully.
Bandi squatted down and looked at him with a smile: "If you accept my gift, then we will be Anda."
The word "Anda" is a bit unfamiliar to Yinyou. The Empress Dowager and Aunt Su Ma have never mentioned it, nor has he heard of it.
He asked, "What do you mean?"
"It means brother."
Yinyou nodded, anyway, he has many brothers, one more is not too much, so he readily accepted.
The little guy thought, since we are brothers, and I accepted his gift, I should give him something in return.
He lowered his head and rummaged in the net for a long time, then raised his head, and asked the other party very solemnly: "What toys do you like?"
"Ah?" Bundy didn't expect that the exchange of tokens between brothers would turn into exchanging toys with children in an instant.
Yinyou said solemnly: "I don't bring many, you pick one."
