The gift box is made of wood, which is quite heavy.In addition, the things inside are already big, and the box can't be eliminated.The imperial concubine also said that the gift must be taken personally to show sincerity.
Therefore, Yinyou had no choice but to carry the big wooden box to the big elder brother by himself.However, due to the weight of the box, he is short in stature, and his center of gravity is still a little unstable when he walks.
I don't know if I have no strength, or I am too excited to see my elder brother.Seeing that he was about to walk in front of the big brother, he suddenly crossed his left foot with his right foot, and the whole person, including the big box, rushed straight towards the big brother.
"..."
Everyone's hearts followed his small body to their throats, for fear that he would stumble.Not to mention that this is the emperor's favorite little prince, even bumping into his little face that was pinched by Xue Tuanzi is enough to make people worry.
However, fortunately, the big elder brother has quick eyesight and quick hands, and he caught the silly younger brother and the wooden box together.
Yinyou put the wooden box on the table, and the first thing he did after he stood still was to straighten his hat, and then patted his chest twice: "Woooooo~ You scared the baby to death!"
The elder brother couldn't help poking his face with his finger: "Be careful, if you fall, everyone will feel sorry for you."
This is true, the empress dowager clenched the Buddhist beads tightly: "It's such a big box, and the servants don't help to carry it. How old is he, how can he move it?"
The imperial concubine gently patted the back of her hand and comforted her: "It's okay, the box is not heavy. He is already four years old, he should be exercised."
The empress dowager felt sorry for her great-grandson: "What's wrong with being four years old? He's even shorter than his younger brother. Xu is just five years old, so he should be more careful."
The imperial concubine was worried about the old man's health, and she didn't dare to argue with her ancestors, so she quickly said: "The concubine remembers."
Yinyou adjusted his emotions, straightened his clothes, and then stood in front of the big brother again, and said loudly: "Big brother, although I beat you in the last wrestling..."
Everyone: "???"
All the empresses and young masters in the harem, as well as the Di Fujin and Side Fujin from Prince Yu's Mansion and Prince Gong's Mansion, and even the maids behind them all couldn't help but glanced in the direction of Eldest Brother.
The elder brother was not very interested in reading and writing since he was a child. On the contrary, he is quite talented in Kung Fu riding and shooting. At a young age, he has cultivated a strong figure.You don't need to wait until you are an adult, just by looking at him, you can tell that you will be a handsome and handsome man in the future. If any girl is lucky enough to be his first wife, that will be a blessing.
This is a bit far-fetched, the point is, look at the little brother Qi, who is only as tall as the waist of the elder brother, can he win in the wrestling competition?
Except for the few princes who were present at the time, only Kangxi knew the real situation of the matter best, because he, a biased referee, decided the outcome.
For the Chinese New Year, the youngest son solemnly carried a big wooden box and headed towards giving his elder brother a gift.Everyone was also looking forward to it, which made his old father very curious about what was in that box.
Eldest Brother looked around and found that everyone was looking at him with an inquiring gaze, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
He could only stretch out one finger, and poked the little fool's chubby pink cheek: "That's right, I lost to you in the wrestling competition, and it seems that I will be remembered by you forever."
Yinyou said loudly: "No, I know you let me go this time."
The elder brother thought to himself: "You are quite self-aware." Immediately afterwards, the silly brother said, "I will just let you in next time."
"..."
Big Brother nodded helplessly: "Okay, okay, let me go next time."
"However," the little guy rubbed his hands and continued, "You were the one who protected me last time, so I didn't fall on my face, so today I brought a special gift to thank you."
Falling face to the ground is so visually appealing, everyone imagined the scene following his train of thought, the little guy fell down, his little face was in close contact with the ground, and his chubby little faces were squeezed together, which seemed even cuter.
Big brother doesn't want to accept any gifts now, he just wants this silly brother to sit back in his seat quickly, so that he won't be surrounded by so many people anymore.
Moreover, his intuition told him that the gift in that wooden box must not be to his liking.
The little guy didn't notice the look on the elder brother's face, and he continued to describe it endlessly: "My mother-in-law and I made this gift by ourselves. To make it, we also used a kind of insect caught from a cactus. "
Bugs on a cactus?
The little guy tapped his head: "It's called... Cochineal."
The female relatives are no strangers to this thing. The rouge, danko and lip gloss they use are all made by crushing this kind of insect and mixing it into oil.
However, the seventh elder brother said that this thing was added to the gift for the elder brother. Could it be that he wants to give the elder brother a box of rouge? ? ?
The imperial concubine supported her forehead at the side: "Silly son, don't exaggerate the atmosphere anymore, quickly take out your gift, and give your elder brother a good time."
At this time, Yinti was sitting on the cushion, feeling a little urge to run away.He was Batulu, who had never been timid in wrestling with the Mongols of the Junggar tribe, but today he was about to fall into the hands of his younger brother.
Kangxi sat there without saying a word, as if he was very interested in this scene of brothers and friends respecting each other.
While speaking, Yinyou had already opened the box, and everyone was looking at it curiously, but the elder brother subconsciously turned his eyes away, not daring to look.
The little guy couldn't wait to take out his toy from the box, everyone looked over at the same time, then they were dumbfounded and whispered to each other.
"What the hell is this?"
"I don't know, it looks colorful, and it's really pretty."
"There's a stick underneath, are they chopsticks?"
"There are no long chopsticks, it's clearly a bamboo stick."
"..."
It was indeed a multicolored lollipop that was bigger than the face. Maltose of various colors was kneaded into long strips, then twisted together, rolled up round after round, and rolled into a big circle. The thin bamboo tube is fixed, and the natural refrigerator placed outside is shaped.
After the little guy was not satisfied, he asked Li Xi to find a piece of pink silk for him, and tied a bow about the size of a lollipop on the bamboo pole. It looked like a girl.
The elder brother looked at the red, green and green thing in front of him, wanting to cry but without tears: "This... what is this?"
Yinyou patiently explained to his elder brother: "This is a lollipop that is bigger than your face. I specially asked Er Niang to make it. Do you like it?"
The elder brother looked at the pink bow, and couldn't say the word "like" anyway.
At this moment, he just wanted to find a place to be quiet.
However, his silly younger brother was overly enthusiastic, holding a lollipop and handing it to his mouth: "It's sweet, sweet, come, have a lick!"
At this time, the brothers next to them all lowered their heads and tried their best to hold back their laughter.After all, he is the eldest brother, so he still has to give him some face, and he can't embarrass him too much.
"No, no..." Big brother pushed her hand away, with a respectful expression on his face, "I'm already very full today."
When the elder brother said so, the little guy no longer forced himself, nodded understandingly, and stuffed the lollipop into his hand: "Then take it back and eat slowly, and you must finish it."
The imperial concubine held her forehead helplessly, and before going out, he told his son that the bow tie was not good, it was not suitable for a muscular man like the big brother, but the little guy refused to listen, saying that colorful lollipops must be matched with a bow tie to look good.
So, the muscular man stood there, holding a super-large wave lollipop in his hand, with a bow tied under it, and he almost pouted and stared to be cute.
This scene is really visually impactful. The elder brother stood there for a while, and Yinyou, who was quite satisfied with the present after giving the gift, looked at the expression of the elder brother and found that he was too happy to speak. up.
Yinyou raised his head and asked expectantly: "Do you like it?"
The elder brother nodded, emphatically highlighting two words: "I like..."
"That's good." The little guy nodded, turned around and returned to his seat, hiding his achievements and fame.
Concubine Hui lowered her head, feeling very sorry for her son, this scene was so beautiful, she couldn't bear to watch it as a mother.
Kangxi also couldn't bear it, feeling in his heart, it's really not easy for the boss, and he still doesn't forget to take care of his younger brother's face at this time.As an Ama, I can't just sit idly by, and I must give some rewards in the future to make up for him.
As soon as Yinyou sat on his cushion, several princesses and princesses immediately surrounded him. Even the fifth princess, who was one and a half years old, followed everyone and came to join in the fun.
In all fairness, that lollipop is really pretty.Although the elder brother doesn't like it very much, all the princesses like it very much.Even the fourteen-year-old eldest princess, who had already pointed out marriage, couldn't help but come over and ask her younger brother: "Little cutie, tell me, does eldest sister treat you well?"
Yinyou smiled at her: "Okay, big sister loves me, and brings me gifts every time she enters the palace."
The eldest princess was overjoyed, and was about to make a request, when the little cutie added: "Your future son-in-law and I are good friends."
Future forehead?Everyone was gossiping, and Qiqi turned his head to look at the eldest princess.
The eldest princess was so angry that she couldn't help but push him: "I hate it! You brat."
The bear kid chuckled, found something out of nowhere and handed it to her: "Big sister, this is for you."
The eldest princess took it over and saw that it was also a lollipop, the same style as the one in the elder brother's hand, but it was much smaller and without a bow.
Although not as beautiful as the oversized customized model of Big Brother, it is also very chic.The eldest princess was very satisfied, she hugged her younger brother and kissed him on the cheek, then left contentedly.
When the other princesses and princesses saw it, they also jumped up and pulled Yinyou: "Seventh brother, I want it too, I want it too!"
Even the little fifth princess was pulling his clothes behind her, drooling and saying, "Yes~I want~I want it too!"
The little guy took out another handful, distributed one to each older sister, and handed the last one to the youngest fifth sister.
So, every sister who got the lollipop hugged him and kissed him on the face, and the fifth princess also pouted her little mouth hard, and moved closer to his face.
Yinyou looked at the drool on her chin, took a handkerchief and wiped it off for her: "Okay, let's go play."
The little girl smiled at him, and as soon as her body softened, she threw herself into his arms, and the little milk voice called brother, brother.
Yinyou thought she was hungry, so he took a piece of snack and was about to feed her. The nurse at the side saw it, and hurried over to take the fifth princess away.
Yinyou turned around and saw Fifth Brother and Sixth Brother standing together, staring at him condescendingly.Yinyou was surprised, the two of them never got along, they always quarreled when they were having fun, what happened today, the two of them leaned together and started whispering.
At this time, someone from the palace brought up a plate of dim sum, which was Yinyou's favorite hawthorn jelly.
So, regardless of his two elder brothers, he lowered his head and took a piece, and was about to put it in his mouth when he heard Yinzuo say, "You are playing with girls."
"That's right," Yin Qi echoed, "We don't play with girls."
The implication is that whoever plays with girls, we will unite and not play with him.
Yinyou raised his head to look at them, strange, what happened to these two elder brothers today?
Usually they would quarrel over who played best with me, but today they stand on the same front against themselves.
Yinyou thought about it, and then thought about it... suddenly realized that the two elder brothers also wanted candy.
He guessed right, Yin Qi and Yin Zuo also wanted lollipops.But boys at this age already have gender awareness and think that it is something that girls like, so I am embarrassed to say that I think it too.I blame my brother for giving all the candy to the sisters, but I can't think of them brothers who usually play well.
Yinyou took out another lollipop out of nowhere, and waved it in front of their eyes.Then hand it to Yinqi: "Fifth Brother, here it is."
Yin Qi immediately reached out to pick it up, and said happily: "I knew it, Xiaoqi and I play best!"
Yinzuo looked at him in surprise, he didn't expect that his ally, who had formed an alliance for less than a moment, would be disintegrated by the enemy's sugar-coated shells in one fell swoop, so he moved half a step to the side in anger, pointed at him, and said angrily :"you you!"
Sixth elder brother suffered from not studying. You you you you you for a long time, but you didn't say any harsh words, so you turned around and left.
Unexpectedly, a certain little naughty stretched out his hand, but retracted it when Wu Ge was about to touch the lollipop, and handed it to him instead: "Fifth Brother is already a big kid in school, let's leave it to the lollipop." Brother."
Yin Zuo was overjoyed, and immediately showed a smug smile on his face: "Xiaoqi obviously plays the best with me!"
Unexpectedly, just as he was about to touch the lollipop, his younger brother withdrew his hand again. Yinyou looked at the two of them, turned the lollipop in his hand and said, "I will give the lollipop to whoever plays with me." eat."
Yinqi and Yinzuo immediately leaned over from left to right, and one said, "Seventh brother, fifth brother usually loves you the most, right?" The other said, "Seventh brother, sixth brother has nothing to say to you, right?"
Yinyou was squeezed between the two of them. He was small, as if he was being bullied by them.
The little guy came out again with a lollipop, one on each side, stuffed the lollipop into their hands, and then held their hands: "I have both, I like both brothers very much."
In fact, the imperial concubine made a lot for him, and she made a special trip to ask him to bring one to each brother and sister, and to say an auspicious word when asking him to send candies.
Yinyou gave lollipops to Baotai, Yinhu, Yinzhi and Yinzhen respectively, and the prince's brother also had lollipops. In the end, he secretly kept two for himself.
When I walked out of the main hall, I looked around and saw Nalan and Longkodo standing at the door.But in the little guy's eyes, his third uncle is just a decoration, and he only has the good-looking Rong Ruo in his eyes.
Like a cheerful deer, he came to Nalan's side with joyful steps.The other party was staring at the snowflakes blowing down from the eaves in a daze, and didn't notice him.
Yinyou stretched out his hand and pulled his hand, feeling a piece of ice cold.Rong Ruo turned his head, and his melancholy face immediately changed into a happy smile: "Brother Qi, you're running around again."
Yinyou hid one hand behind his back, pulled him with the other, and walked behind the pillar at the other end outside the hall: "I'll come and see you."
Nalan stretched out his hand, wanting to touch his little face, but then remembered that he had stood outside all night, his palms were cold, afraid of freezing him, so he withdrew his hand back: "Brother Qi misses me?"
Yinyou asked: "Where did you go a few days ago?"
"The emperor asked me to go out to do something, isn't this back?"
Yinyou leaned against the pillar and took his hand: "Squat down!"
"Huh?" Nalan squatted down, eyes level with him.
"Open your mouth," said the little fellow again.
Nalan opened his mouth fluently, and the next moment Yinyou took something out from behind and stuffed it directly into his mouth: "Is it sweet?"
"Sweet." Nalan took out the candy in his mouth. It was in a style that he had never seen before. It looked like the sugar painting sold on the street, but it didn't look like it. It was colorful and pretty. "I've never seen such a beautiful candy."
"My mother-in-law made it, and I specially left one for you."
"Thank you, Seventh Brother, for the reward. I like it very much." Nalan thought for a while, stretched out his fingertips, and gently touched his little face, "It's cold outside, come in."
The two returned to the entrance of the main hall. Yinyou was about to enter the room when he suddenly looked back at Longkodo, who was also looking at him.
The little guy remembered the last time I ate the egg yolk cake that fell on the floor for him, and remembered what Er Niang said in Jiangning before: "Maybe he is not sincere to others, but he must be to you, because you are my son."
So, he turned around and held out his hand to Longkodo: "The last one, I'll give it to you, your sister made it, try it."
Long Kedo was flattered to take it over, but his little nephew only gave him a back view that his relatives did not recognize, but Nalan who was on the side was very happy.
Yinyou had a good time this New Year. He didn't need to study and practice calligraphy, and he had food and drink every day.The imperial dining room and the small kitchen of Chengqian Palace couldn't satisfy him anymore, and he even coquettishly said that he wanted to eat the dishes made by Er Niang himself.
The imperial concubine made it for her son once, and called Yinzhen back from elder brother's place to eat together, who knows that the meal has not yet been served, and another meal is waiting.
Anyway, before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Kangxi didn't have to go to court or deal with state affairs, and he had plenty of time to stroll around the harem.
If he sat with other concubines for a while and chatted with them, he didn't think it was interesting.
The ladies finally met the emperor once, and tried every means to keep him for a meal or even overnight.
But the emperor was not very interested, so he left after sitting down.
Finally he came to Chengqian Palace and saw two brothers Yinzhen and Yinyou playing in the snow in the yard.The brothers spent the afternoon building a row of snowmen, big and small, and even a dog.
Yinyou assigned identities to them one by one: "This is Er Niang, this is Brother, this is Xiao Qi, this is Aunt Xi, this is Aunt Bai, this is Nanny Sun, this is Zhao Cheng...and this, this It's Pfaff."
Baifu was lying under the corridor, and when he heard his name, he stood up and shook his head and tail. Yinzhen waved his hand to make him lie still.
After listening for a long time, Kangxi's face darkened, and he walked over to his son and asked, "You..."
The old father was a little embarrassed, and didn't ask the second half of the sentence.
Yinzhen took his younger brother to greet Khan Ama.Kangxi coughed lightly, got the two sons up, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Xiao Qi, why...is there no Ama in the snowman you made?"
Yinyou was surprised: "Ama doesn't live in Chengqian Palace, why should there be Ama?"
Kangxi: "..."
He turned around and walked towards the main hall, walked two steps and then turned back: "Isn't I often staying in Chengqian Palace?"
The little guy blinked, and ran over to hold his hand in two or three steps: "If Ama likes it, I'll go to Qianqing Palace to make one next time."
Kangxi thought about it, then forget it.With so many ministers coming and going in the Qianqing Palace, if a snowman is built in the yard, the little guy will definitely let go of his voice to publicize-this is me, Ama, do you think it looks like it?
Where is the majesty of the emperor!
The imperial concubine's cooking skills are average, mainly catering to children's tastes, which are light and sweet and sour.It can't be compared with the ones in the imperial dining room, but her son prefers the ones made by Er Niang.
Kangxi sat at the table, obviously wanting to eat the meal, but the imperial concubine didn't say anything, but she was not very happy, mainly because she didn't eat his rice.
Today, at the request of the little guy, the imperial concubine also learned how to make the tofu dish they ate in Jiangning. There are some differences in the choice of ingredients, because some dishes are not in the south and the north, but generally speaking, the difference is not bad. It is that taste.
Yinyou ate very happily, and asked the eunuch who was waiting on the side to serve Yinzhen more: "This is called Babao Tofu, and the name was changed by Ama."
Kangxi recalled those days when they were in Jiangning, the little guy surrounded him all day long, chirping like a happy bird.
During the few days when his dragon body was sick, this little guy went to the street, and he didn't forget to invite him a cook from the restaurant to make this tofu.
Then, he would come to eat twice a day, and after a few more days, he discovered that the imperial concubine did not cook every day, and most of the time the food was made in the imperial dining room, which was no different from that in the Qing Palace.
Only when her son asks for it, the concubine Huang Guifei will cook a meal in person, and no one else has this kind of treatment.
Even if the emperor comes every day, he can only eat whatever he has.
Yinyou's good days came to an end after the Lantern Festival. After eating the last reunion dinner of this new year and watching the last church meeting of Shufangzhai, he was going to study in Qianqing Palace again early the next morning. .
But on the first day of school, he got a piece of good news: at the beginning of the new year, there were piles of memorials from all over the country, and the emperor needed to spend a lot of time reviewing them before discussing with the ministers.
Therefore, there is little time to pay attention to his study.The South Study Room is fully arranged at every hour of the day.Yinyou could only go to Hongde Hall to study every day, but Kangxi arranged for him an unexpected teacher to come and take his place.
Yinyou sat down behind the desk, clasped his fingers, and thought: Why does the New Year pass so fast?The year is over before he gets over it.
He turned his head and looked out the window. The morning sun shone through and shone warmly on his body.
In a few days it will be the season of spring and flowers blooming, which is a good time to fly a kite. He really wants to make a big and beautiful kite with his own hands, so that it can fly so high that everyone in the Forbidden City will be envious.
At this time, someone came in from outside the hall.He walked very lightly, Yinyou was immersed in his own thoughts and didn't pay attention at all.
So, the man coughed lightly, and said, "My servant, send my regards to Seventh Brother."
The little guy came back to his senses, and rushed over in surprise: "Rong Ruo Rongruo! Why are you?"
Nalan hugged him: "The emperor asked me to teach you how to read and urge you to practice."
Yinyou hugged his neck and shook his head happily: "I don't like "San Zi Jing", let's learn something else."
"what do you want to learn?"
Yinyou said solemnly: "I don't want to learn anything."
Nalan hugged the child who was tired of learning and laughed: "It's impossible not to learn. If you don't learn, I can't do a job. Learn a little bit and save face."
He has a lot of face with Seventh Brother, Yinyou nodded: "Okay, I want to learn the poems you taught me before."
"No problem." Nalan put him on the stool behind the desk, "The emperor has explained that the "San Zi Jing" I learned before will be silently written today."
"Ah?" Yinyou pouted, "I still have to learn the Three Character Classic."
"When you finish writing silently, we will start to learn other things."
In Kangxi's eyes, his son is just a little naughty kid who doesn't understand anything.Therefore, the old father's teaching is step-by-step, explaining a few sentences of the Three-Character Classic every day, asking Yinyou to retell the content, and going through the words again, which is considered to be the end of the study.Continue to learn the next day, and the content has to be added a sentence or two compared with the previous day.
For a child who is tired of learning, this kind of teaching method is too boring, so instead of getting better, his tiredness has become more and more serious.
But Nalan's teaching is different. He will selectively teach according to the interests of students.Starting from simple Tang poetry and Song Ci, citing scriptures, from the author's life to the creation background of the work.
After fully understanding the meaning of the poems, and then going back to recite and learn the words in them, it is often remembered faster and more firmly.
Yinyou likes to listen to stories, and is often engrossed in listening to them. He doesn't urinate, drink water, or clamor for snacks. Many times, he even forgets when it's time to leave school.
Fortunately, Kangxi was afraid that he would not study hard, so he made a special trip to ask someone to move a Western clock and put it aside, saying that when the hour hand passed 11 and the minute reached 6, school would be over.
In just half a month, Yinyou's ability to recognize words has made great progress, and he can start to read some simple articles by himself.
Kangxi was very satisfied with his son's performance, and fully affirmed Nalan's teaching achievements, praising him as worthy of being the son of a scholar.
For Nalan, Mingzhu's son is not something to boast about, and it is even a burden for him over the years.
But these days of lecturing to Seventh Prince really brought back memories of his studies in the Imperial College.In these years, nine out of ten things were not going well, and he almost forgot that he still had such a pure pursuit and love for the classics and history collections.
Kangxi finally mentioned: "I know, you and Ziqing have complaints about staying by my side."
Nalan hurriedly bowed: "I dare not."
Everyone has been together day and night for so many years, and no one knows who else.Kangxi knew that the two of them were afraid to say it, and he was already impatient in his heart.
"When he comes back, I will arrange other errands for you two."
He said this more than a year ago, but because Cao Yin went home to Ding You, and Nalan was the only one by his side, he suppressed it.Thinking about it now, Nalan Xu is already 31 years old, which is not too young.
Rong Ruo had been waiting for this sentence for too long, and now that it finally arrived, she was somewhat looking forward to it.
After Kangxi left, Yinyou rushed over and pulled Rong Ruo and said, "Rong Ruo Rongruo, where do you want to go? How about I ask Ama to let you be my master?"
Nalan patted his head: "It's up to me to choose where, and I will obey whatever the emperor arranges."
Having said that, he always felt that with his own talent and learning, he dared not say that he was an official in the outer court, and at least he could enter the Imperial Academy.
Some time ago when he followed Kangxi on his southern tour, Gu Zhenguan once handed him a stack of poems, which were written by many famous people in the south of the Yangtze River for Gu Zhenguan to write inscriptions and poems on the bamboo tea stove in Song'an in Huishan to record the events.Nalan published these poems in a collection called "New Songs of the Bamboo Stove".
This is what he, Cao Yin, Gu Zhenguan and other literati like to do most. They hope to compile poems and articles written by famous literati in the previous dynasty or this dynasty into a collection, and preserve them for future generations of scholars to study, so as not to be lost for a long time.
Kangxi is not worried about Yinyou's study now, he is worried about someone else.
The sixth elder brother Yinzuo was born on the fifth day of February in the 19th year of Kangxi, and he was six years old in just a few days.
Just after the Lantern Festival, Kangxi arranged for him to study in the study room, and specially assigned a master.
This kid is completely different from Yinyou's child who is tired of studying. He was very happy when he heard that he was going to study in the study.
He has long been tired of staying in the harem. Sixth elder brother has his own ideas. He doesn't want to stay with a group of mothers-in-law and women. He wants to study and practice martial arts with his brothers.
There is a ready-made courtyard at Elder Brother's house, which was originally prepared for fifth elder brother Yinqi, but the Empress Dowager insisted on keeping him in Ningshou Palace, and Kangxi had no choice but to leave the vacant yard to the old man. six.
Before moving out of the harem, Kangxi specially allowed him to go back to Yonghe Palace to meet Concubine De.
Concubine De's heart was broken when she saw her son. In the past six months or so, his son has grown taller and grown up, and he is not so close to her mother-in-law.
She pulled her son to close the door and spoke her own words: "After you move to elder brother's house, you must be careful in every meal and refreshment, just in case someone has a heart. Er Niang is a son like you, you must not be troubled."
Although Yinzuo and Yinzhen are not close, and Yinzhen really only regards himself as the son of the imperial concubine and Yinyou's elder brother, but he is the biological concubine De after all.
But in his memory, Er Niang never brought up this matter in these years, even if she personally planned to expose this matter, she never thought that fourth brother was her child.
This made Yinzuo feel somewhat uncomfortable. He couldn't help thinking, if Erniang gave birth to a son in the future, would his younger brother become the only one in her heart, and he might become the noble concubine Niu Colu child.
Concubine De saw that her son was silent, and continued: "Although we are all brothers, you must remember that the crown prince is a virtuous person, and his character and knowledge are worth learning from. Who should be friends with and who should keep a distance? You have to know in your own mind."
In fact, what Concubine De said is correct, the prince will inevitably face problems with the team when he grows up.The prince is the predestined future heir to the great line, who else can he be attached to if he is not attached to him.
Naturally, she dared not let Kangxi know about this, otherwise it would not be as simple as being confined for half a year.Dare to set his mind on the crown prince, deprive him of his title, and take back his treasures.
But Yinzuo is her son, her only hope, and she has to say something.
After listening to his words, Yinzuo was not moved by Yu Erniang's suggestion to him at all, but was very impatient.Even Concubine De wanted to keep him in Yonghe Palace for one night, but he refused.
However, although Yin Zuo has a positive attitude towards learning, his learning ability is a bit weak. Even the enlightened "San Zi Jing" is difficult for him to learn.
Kangxi went to the study every day, and the master in charge of teaching Yinzuo would reflect this problem.The emperor has a lot of state affairs to deal with, how can he have time to ask about these things.I gave the master a dead order to teach him well, and I will come back to check the results after three months.If you don't teach well, you will be punished yourself.
During this period of time, the imperial concubine was surprised to find that his son, who always had a headache when he mentioned reading, took the initiative to take out the set of "Miscellaneous Knowledge in Lushui Pavilion" that Nalan gave him.
However, this little boy's knowledge of characters is really limited, Li Xi must always be by his side when he is reading, and answer his questions at any time for characters he does not understand.
However, the little guy has a very good habit. He will find a piece of paper, write down the words he doesn't know, and then use the pinyin that Er Niang called him.
The imperial concubine saw it, and ordered someone to order a new word book for him the next day.After thinking about it, he simply asked someone to order him a vocabulary book, a math homework book, a book of good words and sentences...
Although Nalan's book is well written, it is really obscure for a child of Yinyou's age, and he can't understand it.
Therefore, the self-study only persisted for half an afternoon, and the little guy gave up decisively.None of the piles of homework that the old mother had worked so hard to prepare came in handy.
This morning, because Kangxi had a plan to go out of the palace, Nalan needed to accompany him.Therefore, Yinyou left school early and returned to Chengqian Palace.
On weekdays, as soon as he entered the courtyard, many people came out to greet him. Sometimes the imperial concubine would open the curtain from the main hall and come out.
It was quiet in the yard today, everyone stood in their positions, and when they saw him coming, they just bowed and saluted without any extra words.
Yinyou found it strange that the atmosphere in Chengqian Palace today was unusual, so something might have happened.
He walked towards the main hall, and just as he was about to lift the curtain to go in, he was stopped by Bai Lu next to him: "Seventh elder brother, you should let the servants go in and report."
"Huh?" Yinyou looked at her in astonishment, "I still need to report when I go back to my mother's bedroom?"
Bai Lu whispered, "We have a guest today."
Her words aroused Yinyou's curiosity even more, what kind of guest is so mysterious.
Therefore, Yinyou had no choice but to carry the big wooden box to the big elder brother by himself.However, due to the weight of the box, he is short in stature, and his center of gravity is still a little unstable when he walks.
I don't know if I have no strength, or I am too excited to see my elder brother.Seeing that he was about to walk in front of the big brother, he suddenly crossed his left foot with his right foot, and the whole person, including the big box, rushed straight towards the big brother.
"..."
Everyone's hearts followed his small body to their throats, for fear that he would stumble.Not to mention that this is the emperor's favorite little prince, even bumping into his little face that was pinched by Xue Tuanzi is enough to make people worry.
However, fortunately, the big elder brother has quick eyesight and quick hands, and he caught the silly younger brother and the wooden box together.
Yinyou put the wooden box on the table, and the first thing he did after he stood still was to straighten his hat, and then patted his chest twice: "Woooooo~ You scared the baby to death!"
The elder brother couldn't help poking his face with his finger: "Be careful, if you fall, everyone will feel sorry for you."
This is true, the empress dowager clenched the Buddhist beads tightly: "It's such a big box, and the servants don't help to carry it. How old is he, how can he move it?"
The imperial concubine gently patted the back of her hand and comforted her: "It's okay, the box is not heavy. He is already four years old, he should be exercised."
The empress dowager felt sorry for her great-grandson: "What's wrong with being four years old? He's even shorter than his younger brother. Xu is just five years old, so he should be more careful."
The imperial concubine was worried about the old man's health, and she didn't dare to argue with her ancestors, so she quickly said: "The concubine remembers."
Yinyou adjusted his emotions, straightened his clothes, and then stood in front of the big brother again, and said loudly: "Big brother, although I beat you in the last wrestling..."
Everyone: "???"
All the empresses and young masters in the harem, as well as the Di Fujin and Side Fujin from Prince Yu's Mansion and Prince Gong's Mansion, and even the maids behind them all couldn't help but glanced in the direction of Eldest Brother.
The elder brother was not very interested in reading and writing since he was a child. On the contrary, he is quite talented in Kung Fu riding and shooting. At a young age, he has cultivated a strong figure.You don't need to wait until you are an adult, just by looking at him, you can tell that you will be a handsome and handsome man in the future. If any girl is lucky enough to be his first wife, that will be a blessing.
This is a bit far-fetched, the point is, look at the little brother Qi, who is only as tall as the waist of the elder brother, can he win in the wrestling competition?
Except for the few princes who were present at the time, only Kangxi knew the real situation of the matter best, because he, a biased referee, decided the outcome.
For the Chinese New Year, the youngest son solemnly carried a big wooden box and headed towards giving his elder brother a gift.Everyone was also looking forward to it, which made his old father very curious about what was in that box.
Eldest Brother looked around and found that everyone was looking at him with an inquiring gaze, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
He could only stretch out one finger, and poked the little fool's chubby pink cheek: "That's right, I lost to you in the wrestling competition, and it seems that I will be remembered by you forever."
Yinyou said loudly: "No, I know you let me go this time."
The elder brother thought to himself: "You are quite self-aware." Immediately afterwards, the silly brother said, "I will just let you in next time."
"..."
Big Brother nodded helplessly: "Okay, okay, let me go next time."
"However," the little guy rubbed his hands and continued, "You were the one who protected me last time, so I didn't fall on my face, so today I brought a special gift to thank you."
Falling face to the ground is so visually appealing, everyone imagined the scene following his train of thought, the little guy fell down, his little face was in close contact with the ground, and his chubby little faces were squeezed together, which seemed even cuter.
Big brother doesn't want to accept any gifts now, he just wants this silly brother to sit back in his seat quickly, so that he won't be surrounded by so many people anymore.
Moreover, his intuition told him that the gift in that wooden box must not be to his liking.
The little guy didn't notice the look on the elder brother's face, and he continued to describe it endlessly: "My mother-in-law and I made this gift by ourselves. To make it, we also used a kind of insect caught from a cactus. "
Bugs on a cactus?
The little guy tapped his head: "It's called... Cochineal."
The female relatives are no strangers to this thing. The rouge, danko and lip gloss they use are all made by crushing this kind of insect and mixing it into oil.
However, the seventh elder brother said that this thing was added to the gift for the elder brother. Could it be that he wants to give the elder brother a box of rouge? ? ?
The imperial concubine supported her forehead at the side: "Silly son, don't exaggerate the atmosphere anymore, quickly take out your gift, and give your elder brother a good time."
At this time, Yinti was sitting on the cushion, feeling a little urge to run away.He was Batulu, who had never been timid in wrestling with the Mongols of the Junggar tribe, but today he was about to fall into the hands of his younger brother.
Kangxi sat there without saying a word, as if he was very interested in this scene of brothers and friends respecting each other.
While speaking, Yinyou had already opened the box, and everyone was looking at it curiously, but the elder brother subconsciously turned his eyes away, not daring to look.
The little guy couldn't wait to take out his toy from the box, everyone looked over at the same time, then they were dumbfounded and whispered to each other.
"What the hell is this?"
"I don't know, it looks colorful, and it's really pretty."
"There's a stick underneath, are they chopsticks?"
"There are no long chopsticks, it's clearly a bamboo stick."
"..."
It was indeed a multicolored lollipop that was bigger than the face. Maltose of various colors was kneaded into long strips, then twisted together, rolled up round after round, and rolled into a big circle. The thin bamboo tube is fixed, and the natural refrigerator placed outside is shaped.
After the little guy was not satisfied, he asked Li Xi to find a piece of pink silk for him, and tied a bow about the size of a lollipop on the bamboo pole. It looked like a girl.
The elder brother looked at the red, green and green thing in front of him, wanting to cry but without tears: "This... what is this?"
Yinyou patiently explained to his elder brother: "This is a lollipop that is bigger than your face. I specially asked Er Niang to make it. Do you like it?"
The elder brother looked at the pink bow, and couldn't say the word "like" anyway.
At this moment, he just wanted to find a place to be quiet.
However, his silly younger brother was overly enthusiastic, holding a lollipop and handing it to his mouth: "It's sweet, sweet, come, have a lick!"
At this time, the brothers next to them all lowered their heads and tried their best to hold back their laughter.After all, he is the eldest brother, so he still has to give him some face, and he can't embarrass him too much.
"No, no..." Big brother pushed her hand away, with a respectful expression on his face, "I'm already very full today."
When the elder brother said so, the little guy no longer forced himself, nodded understandingly, and stuffed the lollipop into his hand: "Then take it back and eat slowly, and you must finish it."
The imperial concubine held her forehead helplessly, and before going out, he told his son that the bow tie was not good, it was not suitable for a muscular man like the big brother, but the little guy refused to listen, saying that colorful lollipops must be matched with a bow tie to look good.
So, the muscular man stood there, holding a super-large wave lollipop in his hand, with a bow tied under it, and he almost pouted and stared to be cute.
This scene is really visually impactful. The elder brother stood there for a while, and Yinyou, who was quite satisfied with the present after giving the gift, looked at the expression of the elder brother and found that he was too happy to speak. up.
Yinyou raised his head and asked expectantly: "Do you like it?"
The elder brother nodded, emphatically highlighting two words: "I like..."
"That's good." The little guy nodded, turned around and returned to his seat, hiding his achievements and fame.
Concubine Hui lowered her head, feeling very sorry for her son, this scene was so beautiful, she couldn't bear to watch it as a mother.
Kangxi also couldn't bear it, feeling in his heart, it's really not easy for the boss, and he still doesn't forget to take care of his younger brother's face at this time.As an Ama, I can't just sit idly by, and I must give some rewards in the future to make up for him.
As soon as Yinyou sat on his cushion, several princesses and princesses immediately surrounded him. Even the fifth princess, who was one and a half years old, followed everyone and came to join in the fun.
In all fairness, that lollipop is really pretty.Although the elder brother doesn't like it very much, all the princesses like it very much.Even the fourteen-year-old eldest princess, who had already pointed out marriage, couldn't help but come over and ask her younger brother: "Little cutie, tell me, does eldest sister treat you well?"
Yinyou smiled at her: "Okay, big sister loves me, and brings me gifts every time she enters the palace."
The eldest princess was overjoyed, and was about to make a request, when the little cutie added: "Your future son-in-law and I are good friends."
Future forehead?Everyone was gossiping, and Qiqi turned his head to look at the eldest princess.
The eldest princess was so angry that she couldn't help but push him: "I hate it! You brat."
The bear kid chuckled, found something out of nowhere and handed it to her: "Big sister, this is for you."
The eldest princess took it over and saw that it was also a lollipop, the same style as the one in the elder brother's hand, but it was much smaller and without a bow.
Although not as beautiful as the oversized customized model of Big Brother, it is also very chic.The eldest princess was very satisfied, she hugged her younger brother and kissed him on the cheek, then left contentedly.
When the other princesses and princesses saw it, they also jumped up and pulled Yinyou: "Seventh brother, I want it too, I want it too!"
Even the little fifth princess was pulling his clothes behind her, drooling and saying, "Yes~I want~I want it too!"
The little guy took out another handful, distributed one to each older sister, and handed the last one to the youngest fifth sister.
So, every sister who got the lollipop hugged him and kissed him on the face, and the fifth princess also pouted her little mouth hard, and moved closer to his face.
Yinyou looked at the drool on her chin, took a handkerchief and wiped it off for her: "Okay, let's go play."
The little girl smiled at him, and as soon as her body softened, she threw herself into his arms, and the little milk voice called brother, brother.
Yinyou thought she was hungry, so he took a piece of snack and was about to feed her. The nurse at the side saw it, and hurried over to take the fifth princess away.
Yinyou turned around and saw Fifth Brother and Sixth Brother standing together, staring at him condescendingly.Yinyou was surprised, the two of them never got along, they always quarreled when they were having fun, what happened today, the two of them leaned together and started whispering.
At this time, someone from the palace brought up a plate of dim sum, which was Yinyou's favorite hawthorn jelly.
So, regardless of his two elder brothers, he lowered his head and took a piece, and was about to put it in his mouth when he heard Yinzuo say, "You are playing with girls."
"That's right," Yin Qi echoed, "We don't play with girls."
The implication is that whoever plays with girls, we will unite and not play with him.
Yinyou raised his head to look at them, strange, what happened to these two elder brothers today?
Usually they would quarrel over who played best with me, but today they stand on the same front against themselves.
Yinyou thought about it, and then thought about it... suddenly realized that the two elder brothers also wanted candy.
He guessed right, Yin Qi and Yin Zuo also wanted lollipops.But boys at this age already have gender awareness and think that it is something that girls like, so I am embarrassed to say that I think it too.I blame my brother for giving all the candy to the sisters, but I can't think of them brothers who usually play well.
Yinyou took out another lollipop out of nowhere, and waved it in front of their eyes.Then hand it to Yinqi: "Fifth Brother, here it is."
Yin Qi immediately reached out to pick it up, and said happily: "I knew it, Xiaoqi and I play best!"
Yinzuo looked at him in surprise, he didn't expect that his ally, who had formed an alliance for less than a moment, would be disintegrated by the enemy's sugar-coated shells in one fell swoop, so he moved half a step to the side in anger, pointed at him, and said angrily :"you you!"
Sixth elder brother suffered from not studying. You you you you you for a long time, but you didn't say any harsh words, so you turned around and left.
Unexpectedly, a certain little naughty stretched out his hand, but retracted it when Wu Ge was about to touch the lollipop, and handed it to him instead: "Fifth Brother is already a big kid in school, let's leave it to the lollipop." Brother."
Yin Zuo was overjoyed, and immediately showed a smug smile on his face: "Xiaoqi obviously plays the best with me!"
Unexpectedly, just as he was about to touch the lollipop, his younger brother withdrew his hand again. Yinyou looked at the two of them, turned the lollipop in his hand and said, "I will give the lollipop to whoever plays with me." eat."
Yinqi and Yinzuo immediately leaned over from left to right, and one said, "Seventh brother, fifth brother usually loves you the most, right?" The other said, "Seventh brother, sixth brother has nothing to say to you, right?"
Yinyou was squeezed between the two of them. He was small, as if he was being bullied by them.
The little guy came out again with a lollipop, one on each side, stuffed the lollipop into their hands, and then held their hands: "I have both, I like both brothers very much."
In fact, the imperial concubine made a lot for him, and she made a special trip to ask him to bring one to each brother and sister, and to say an auspicious word when asking him to send candies.
Yinyou gave lollipops to Baotai, Yinhu, Yinzhi and Yinzhen respectively, and the prince's brother also had lollipops. In the end, he secretly kept two for himself.
When I walked out of the main hall, I looked around and saw Nalan and Longkodo standing at the door.But in the little guy's eyes, his third uncle is just a decoration, and he only has the good-looking Rong Ruo in his eyes.
Like a cheerful deer, he came to Nalan's side with joyful steps.The other party was staring at the snowflakes blowing down from the eaves in a daze, and didn't notice him.
Yinyou stretched out his hand and pulled his hand, feeling a piece of ice cold.Rong Ruo turned his head, and his melancholy face immediately changed into a happy smile: "Brother Qi, you're running around again."
Yinyou hid one hand behind his back, pulled him with the other, and walked behind the pillar at the other end outside the hall: "I'll come and see you."
Nalan stretched out his hand, wanting to touch his little face, but then remembered that he had stood outside all night, his palms were cold, afraid of freezing him, so he withdrew his hand back: "Brother Qi misses me?"
Yinyou asked: "Where did you go a few days ago?"
"The emperor asked me to go out to do something, isn't this back?"
Yinyou leaned against the pillar and took his hand: "Squat down!"
"Huh?" Nalan squatted down, eyes level with him.
"Open your mouth," said the little fellow again.
Nalan opened his mouth fluently, and the next moment Yinyou took something out from behind and stuffed it directly into his mouth: "Is it sweet?"
"Sweet." Nalan took out the candy in his mouth. It was in a style that he had never seen before. It looked like the sugar painting sold on the street, but it didn't look like it. It was colorful and pretty. "I've never seen such a beautiful candy."
"My mother-in-law made it, and I specially left one for you."
"Thank you, Seventh Brother, for the reward. I like it very much." Nalan thought for a while, stretched out his fingertips, and gently touched his little face, "It's cold outside, come in."
The two returned to the entrance of the main hall. Yinyou was about to enter the room when he suddenly looked back at Longkodo, who was also looking at him.
The little guy remembered the last time I ate the egg yolk cake that fell on the floor for him, and remembered what Er Niang said in Jiangning before: "Maybe he is not sincere to others, but he must be to you, because you are my son."
So, he turned around and held out his hand to Longkodo: "The last one, I'll give it to you, your sister made it, try it."
Long Kedo was flattered to take it over, but his little nephew only gave him a back view that his relatives did not recognize, but Nalan who was on the side was very happy.
Yinyou had a good time this New Year. He didn't need to study and practice calligraphy, and he had food and drink every day.The imperial dining room and the small kitchen of Chengqian Palace couldn't satisfy him anymore, and he even coquettishly said that he wanted to eat the dishes made by Er Niang himself.
The imperial concubine made it for her son once, and called Yinzhen back from elder brother's place to eat together, who knows that the meal has not yet been served, and another meal is waiting.
Anyway, before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Kangxi didn't have to go to court or deal with state affairs, and he had plenty of time to stroll around the harem.
If he sat with other concubines for a while and chatted with them, he didn't think it was interesting.
The ladies finally met the emperor once, and tried every means to keep him for a meal or even overnight.
But the emperor was not very interested, so he left after sitting down.
Finally he came to Chengqian Palace and saw two brothers Yinzhen and Yinyou playing in the snow in the yard.The brothers spent the afternoon building a row of snowmen, big and small, and even a dog.
Yinyou assigned identities to them one by one: "This is Er Niang, this is Brother, this is Xiao Qi, this is Aunt Xi, this is Aunt Bai, this is Nanny Sun, this is Zhao Cheng...and this, this It's Pfaff."
Baifu was lying under the corridor, and when he heard his name, he stood up and shook his head and tail. Yinzhen waved his hand to make him lie still.
After listening for a long time, Kangxi's face darkened, and he walked over to his son and asked, "You..."
The old father was a little embarrassed, and didn't ask the second half of the sentence.
Yinzhen took his younger brother to greet Khan Ama.Kangxi coughed lightly, got the two sons up, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Xiao Qi, why...is there no Ama in the snowman you made?"
Yinyou was surprised: "Ama doesn't live in Chengqian Palace, why should there be Ama?"
Kangxi: "..."
He turned around and walked towards the main hall, walked two steps and then turned back: "Isn't I often staying in Chengqian Palace?"
The little guy blinked, and ran over to hold his hand in two or three steps: "If Ama likes it, I'll go to Qianqing Palace to make one next time."
Kangxi thought about it, then forget it.With so many ministers coming and going in the Qianqing Palace, if a snowman is built in the yard, the little guy will definitely let go of his voice to publicize-this is me, Ama, do you think it looks like it?
Where is the majesty of the emperor!
The imperial concubine's cooking skills are average, mainly catering to children's tastes, which are light and sweet and sour.It can't be compared with the ones in the imperial dining room, but her son prefers the ones made by Er Niang.
Kangxi sat at the table, obviously wanting to eat the meal, but the imperial concubine didn't say anything, but she was not very happy, mainly because she didn't eat his rice.
Today, at the request of the little guy, the imperial concubine also learned how to make the tofu dish they ate in Jiangning. There are some differences in the choice of ingredients, because some dishes are not in the south and the north, but generally speaking, the difference is not bad. It is that taste.
Yinyou ate very happily, and asked the eunuch who was waiting on the side to serve Yinzhen more: "This is called Babao Tofu, and the name was changed by Ama."
Kangxi recalled those days when they were in Jiangning, the little guy surrounded him all day long, chirping like a happy bird.
During the few days when his dragon body was sick, this little guy went to the street, and he didn't forget to invite him a cook from the restaurant to make this tofu.
Then, he would come to eat twice a day, and after a few more days, he discovered that the imperial concubine did not cook every day, and most of the time the food was made in the imperial dining room, which was no different from that in the Qing Palace.
Only when her son asks for it, the concubine Huang Guifei will cook a meal in person, and no one else has this kind of treatment.
Even if the emperor comes every day, he can only eat whatever he has.
Yinyou's good days came to an end after the Lantern Festival. After eating the last reunion dinner of this new year and watching the last church meeting of Shufangzhai, he was going to study in Qianqing Palace again early the next morning. .
But on the first day of school, he got a piece of good news: at the beginning of the new year, there were piles of memorials from all over the country, and the emperor needed to spend a lot of time reviewing them before discussing with the ministers.
Therefore, there is little time to pay attention to his study.The South Study Room is fully arranged at every hour of the day.Yinyou could only go to Hongde Hall to study every day, but Kangxi arranged for him an unexpected teacher to come and take his place.
Yinyou sat down behind the desk, clasped his fingers, and thought: Why does the New Year pass so fast?The year is over before he gets over it.
He turned his head and looked out the window. The morning sun shone through and shone warmly on his body.
In a few days it will be the season of spring and flowers blooming, which is a good time to fly a kite. He really wants to make a big and beautiful kite with his own hands, so that it can fly so high that everyone in the Forbidden City will be envious.
At this time, someone came in from outside the hall.He walked very lightly, Yinyou was immersed in his own thoughts and didn't pay attention at all.
So, the man coughed lightly, and said, "My servant, send my regards to Seventh Brother."
The little guy came back to his senses, and rushed over in surprise: "Rong Ruo Rongruo! Why are you?"
Nalan hugged him: "The emperor asked me to teach you how to read and urge you to practice."
Yinyou hugged his neck and shook his head happily: "I don't like "San Zi Jing", let's learn something else."
"what do you want to learn?"
Yinyou said solemnly: "I don't want to learn anything."
Nalan hugged the child who was tired of learning and laughed: "It's impossible not to learn. If you don't learn, I can't do a job. Learn a little bit and save face."
He has a lot of face with Seventh Brother, Yinyou nodded: "Okay, I want to learn the poems you taught me before."
"No problem." Nalan put him on the stool behind the desk, "The emperor has explained that the "San Zi Jing" I learned before will be silently written today."
"Ah?" Yinyou pouted, "I still have to learn the Three Character Classic."
"When you finish writing silently, we will start to learn other things."
In Kangxi's eyes, his son is just a little naughty kid who doesn't understand anything.Therefore, the old father's teaching is step-by-step, explaining a few sentences of the Three-Character Classic every day, asking Yinyou to retell the content, and going through the words again, which is considered to be the end of the study.Continue to learn the next day, and the content has to be added a sentence or two compared with the previous day.
For a child who is tired of learning, this kind of teaching method is too boring, so instead of getting better, his tiredness has become more and more serious.
But Nalan's teaching is different. He will selectively teach according to the interests of students.Starting from simple Tang poetry and Song Ci, citing scriptures, from the author's life to the creation background of the work.
After fully understanding the meaning of the poems, and then going back to recite and learn the words in them, it is often remembered faster and more firmly.
Yinyou likes to listen to stories, and is often engrossed in listening to them. He doesn't urinate, drink water, or clamor for snacks. Many times, he even forgets when it's time to leave school.
Fortunately, Kangxi was afraid that he would not study hard, so he made a special trip to ask someone to move a Western clock and put it aside, saying that when the hour hand passed 11 and the minute reached 6, school would be over.
In just half a month, Yinyou's ability to recognize words has made great progress, and he can start to read some simple articles by himself.
Kangxi was very satisfied with his son's performance, and fully affirmed Nalan's teaching achievements, praising him as worthy of being the son of a scholar.
For Nalan, Mingzhu's son is not something to boast about, and it is even a burden for him over the years.
But these days of lecturing to Seventh Prince really brought back memories of his studies in the Imperial College.In these years, nine out of ten things were not going well, and he almost forgot that he still had such a pure pursuit and love for the classics and history collections.
Kangxi finally mentioned: "I know, you and Ziqing have complaints about staying by my side."
Nalan hurriedly bowed: "I dare not."
Everyone has been together day and night for so many years, and no one knows who else.Kangxi knew that the two of them were afraid to say it, and he was already impatient in his heart.
"When he comes back, I will arrange other errands for you two."
He said this more than a year ago, but because Cao Yin went home to Ding You, and Nalan was the only one by his side, he suppressed it.Thinking about it now, Nalan Xu is already 31 years old, which is not too young.
Rong Ruo had been waiting for this sentence for too long, and now that it finally arrived, she was somewhat looking forward to it.
After Kangxi left, Yinyou rushed over and pulled Rong Ruo and said, "Rong Ruo Rongruo, where do you want to go? How about I ask Ama to let you be my master?"
Nalan patted his head: "It's up to me to choose where, and I will obey whatever the emperor arranges."
Having said that, he always felt that with his own talent and learning, he dared not say that he was an official in the outer court, and at least he could enter the Imperial Academy.
Some time ago when he followed Kangxi on his southern tour, Gu Zhenguan once handed him a stack of poems, which were written by many famous people in the south of the Yangtze River for Gu Zhenguan to write inscriptions and poems on the bamboo tea stove in Song'an in Huishan to record the events.Nalan published these poems in a collection called "New Songs of the Bamboo Stove".
This is what he, Cao Yin, Gu Zhenguan and other literati like to do most. They hope to compile poems and articles written by famous literati in the previous dynasty or this dynasty into a collection, and preserve them for future generations of scholars to study, so as not to be lost for a long time.
Kangxi is not worried about Yinyou's study now, he is worried about someone else.
The sixth elder brother Yinzuo was born on the fifth day of February in the 19th year of Kangxi, and he was six years old in just a few days.
Just after the Lantern Festival, Kangxi arranged for him to study in the study room, and specially assigned a master.
This kid is completely different from Yinyou's child who is tired of studying. He was very happy when he heard that he was going to study in the study.
He has long been tired of staying in the harem. Sixth elder brother has his own ideas. He doesn't want to stay with a group of mothers-in-law and women. He wants to study and practice martial arts with his brothers.
There is a ready-made courtyard at Elder Brother's house, which was originally prepared for fifth elder brother Yinqi, but the Empress Dowager insisted on keeping him in Ningshou Palace, and Kangxi had no choice but to leave the vacant yard to the old man. six.
Before moving out of the harem, Kangxi specially allowed him to go back to Yonghe Palace to meet Concubine De.
Concubine De's heart was broken when she saw her son. In the past six months or so, his son has grown taller and grown up, and he is not so close to her mother-in-law.
She pulled her son to close the door and spoke her own words: "After you move to elder brother's house, you must be careful in every meal and refreshment, just in case someone has a heart. Er Niang is a son like you, you must not be troubled."
Although Yinzuo and Yinzhen are not close, and Yinzhen really only regards himself as the son of the imperial concubine and Yinyou's elder brother, but he is the biological concubine De after all.
But in his memory, Er Niang never brought up this matter in these years, even if she personally planned to expose this matter, she never thought that fourth brother was her child.
This made Yinzuo feel somewhat uncomfortable. He couldn't help thinking, if Erniang gave birth to a son in the future, would his younger brother become the only one in her heart, and he might become the noble concubine Niu Colu child.
Concubine De saw that her son was silent, and continued: "Although we are all brothers, you must remember that the crown prince is a virtuous person, and his character and knowledge are worth learning from. Who should be friends with and who should keep a distance? You have to know in your own mind."
In fact, what Concubine De said is correct, the prince will inevitably face problems with the team when he grows up.The prince is the predestined future heir to the great line, who else can he be attached to if he is not attached to him.
Naturally, she dared not let Kangxi know about this, otherwise it would not be as simple as being confined for half a year.Dare to set his mind on the crown prince, deprive him of his title, and take back his treasures.
But Yinzuo is her son, her only hope, and she has to say something.
After listening to his words, Yinzuo was not moved by Yu Erniang's suggestion to him at all, but was very impatient.Even Concubine De wanted to keep him in Yonghe Palace for one night, but he refused.
However, although Yin Zuo has a positive attitude towards learning, his learning ability is a bit weak. Even the enlightened "San Zi Jing" is difficult for him to learn.
Kangxi went to the study every day, and the master in charge of teaching Yinzuo would reflect this problem.The emperor has a lot of state affairs to deal with, how can he have time to ask about these things.I gave the master a dead order to teach him well, and I will come back to check the results after three months.If you don't teach well, you will be punished yourself.
During this period of time, the imperial concubine was surprised to find that his son, who always had a headache when he mentioned reading, took the initiative to take out the set of "Miscellaneous Knowledge in Lushui Pavilion" that Nalan gave him.
However, this little boy's knowledge of characters is really limited, Li Xi must always be by his side when he is reading, and answer his questions at any time for characters he does not understand.
However, the little guy has a very good habit. He will find a piece of paper, write down the words he doesn't know, and then use the pinyin that Er Niang called him.
The imperial concubine saw it, and ordered someone to order a new word book for him the next day.After thinking about it, he simply asked someone to order him a vocabulary book, a math homework book, a book of good words and sentences...
Although Nalan's book is well written, it is really obscure for a child of Yinyou's age, and he can't understand it.
Therefore, the self-study only persisted for half an afternoon, and the little guy gave up decisively.None of the piles of homework that the old mother had worked so hard to prepare came in handy.
This morning, because Kangxi had a plan to go out of the palace, Nalan needed to accompany him.Therefore, Yinyou left school early and returned to Chengqian Palace.
On weekdays, as soon as he entered the courtyard, many people came out to greet him. Sometimes the imperial concubine would open the curtain from the main hall and come out.
It was quiet in the yard today, everyone stood in their positions, and when they saw him coming, they just bowed and saluted without any extra words.
Yinyou found it strange that the atmosphere in Chengqian Palace today was unusual, so something might have happened.
He walked towards the main hall, and just as he was about to lift the curtain to go in, he was stopped by Bai Lu next to him: "Seventh elder brother, you should let the servants go in and report."
"Huh?" Yinyou looked at her in astonishment, "I still need to report when I go back to my mother's bedroom?"
Bai Lu whispered, "We have a guest today."
Her words aroused Yinyou's curiosity even more, what kind of guest is so mysterious.
