[Qing Chuan] The daily life of the seven princes

Because the Bisha cabinet was in the bedroom, in order not to disturb the rest of the Empress Dowager, the two of them spoke very softly.

Yinyou is a master who asks him to write a few pages of big characters, and he has to find ways to be lazy. He has never written so many characters before.The wrist is white, thin and tender. It is no wonder that it is not sore after holding the pen for a long time.

This made Li Xi's heart ache, and went in the dark to get the ointment for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. When he came back, he thought Yinyou had fallen asleep, so he leaned into his ear and called him softly: "Brother, brother!"

"..."

Yinyou didn't say anything, so Li Xi stopped calling him and concentrated on rubbing his wrists. After rubbing, he put the little guy's hands under the quilt and tucked him in the quilt.

Finally Li Xi leaned down and kissed the little guy on the forehead: "Sleep, good boy."

She entered the palace at the age of 16, and this was her tenth thought of serving in the palace.I haven't experienced the lingering love between children and children in the poems, but I have really felt the sadness and joy of being a mother for four years.

She wholeheartedly takes care of and loves the child in front of her. Although she is just a maid beside her, in Li Xi's heart, she has already regarded him as her own child.

I think about him every day, worrying that he won’t be able to eat well or dress well, worry that he won’t grow tall, worry that he will always get sick if he is in poor health, worry that he won’t study well, and that he will be punished by his master when he goes to the study... always want to put Give him the best.

Seeing that the end of the year is the new year, if there is no accident, this will be the last year for her to take care of the seventh elder brother. When she reaches the age of 25, she can leave the palace and have the freedom she yearns for.

But she was so reluctant to part with this child in front of her, her little master, she really wanted to watch him grow up day by day.

I don't know if the little guy will cry on the day he leaves the palace.

"Girls are not allowed to kiss boys casually."

In the darkness, Yinyou suddenly opened his eyes, and the moonlight from outside the window suddenly fell into his eyes, bright like stars falling into the sea.

Li Xi raised his hand, touched his face hastily, and said softly: "What are you talking about? You are a child, I am an adult, of course I can kiss you."

"I'm five years old."

Li Xi smiled suddenly: "It's not that you told the emperor yourself that you are still a child at the age of five."

"I just said that because I didn't want to move out of Chengqian Palace."

Li Xi patted his head: "You are the only one who is smart."

Yinyou suddenly raised his hand to touch her face: "Aunt Xi, are you crying?"

"No."

"Why are you crying?"

"I didn't cry."

"I touched it all, and there are tears on your face."

"Go to sleep," Li Xi lay down beside him, and gently patted his chest with his palm, "I'll be with you."

Since she stopped asking about the government affairs of the previous dynasty, waking up every morning to chant scriptures and worship Buddha has become a part of the Empress Dowager's life.

When living in the Palace of Compassion, the Empress Dowager copied the scriptures, and Yinyou quietly accompanied her, playing with her own toys.

Now the little guy has grown up and is already a little boy who can read and write.

Aunt Su Ma told him that if he copied the scriptures for the Empress Dowager and prayed for the blessing of the Bodhisattva, the ancestors would be safe and healthy and live a long life.

Yinyou felt that this was unreliable. If you want to be safe and healthy, you should take good care of your body. This is what Eniang said.

However, since Aunt Su Ma said it was okay, then it was okay just in case.No matter what, as long as it can make Mama Ukuma live a long life, copying Buddhist scriptures is nothing, it is considered as completing homework, and he just copied it.

However, repeating these monotonous copying actions is always a bit boring. The Empress Dowager and Lagu Su Ma are on the side, and he will copy a sentence and tell him a sentence.

In the Buddhist scriptures, there are not only Buddha’s Jataka stories, karma stories, and Buddha’s biography stories, but also some koans of believers. Not to mention the meaning and inspiration behind the stories, just listening to the stories themselves is quite interesting for the little ones.

Kangxi and the imperial concubine came to pay their respects to the empress dowager every day, and Yinyou took a pen to copy Buddhist scriptures there seriously.

The old father had to test him from time to time, asking about Buddhist allusions, and the little guy could answer fluently.

The imperial concubine does not believe in Buddhism and never goes to Buddhist halls.The books in his hand are either medical classics, history books or poetry collections, and there have never been books like Buddhist scriptures in the study.

The old mother also found it very novel to hear her son explain Buddhist allusions in a clear and logical manner.

On the third day of the junior high school, Kangxi specially invited an eminent monk from outside the palace to give a lecture to the Empress Dowager in the Great Buddha Hall.

Yinyou naturally wanted to go with Ukumama.Yinyou has copied so many Buddhist scriptures in the past few days, and he is quite curious about the "eminent monk who has attained the Tao" in the mouth of Ama and Mama Ukuma.

When I went to the Great Buddha Hall and saw the master himself, I realized that he was an old monk who was too old to tell his age. His beard and hair were white, his cheeks were sunken, his skin was wrinkled like bark, but his eyes were piercing.

Yinyou went out with Ama several times, visited many temples, and met many eminent monks. Those masters looked dignified. The one in front of him might be too old, but he looked a little kind.

There were two court ladies each, one on the left and one on the right, supporting the Empress Dowager and Aunt Su Ma to kneel down on the futon in front of the altar.Yinyou stood aside, motionless, not intending to kneel down at all.

The little guy went to so many temples, and his Ama had to kneel down to worship. He always stood far outside the temple and never worshiped.

The Empress Dowager smiled and waved to him: "Xiaoqi, come to Mama Ukuma."

Yinyou walked to her side according to her words, but the empress dowager said to the eminent monk: "Seventh elder brother is still young, and he still doesn't know how to respect the Buddha. Don't blame the master."

"Amitabha Buddha!" ​​The big hands clasped together and sang the Buddha's name, and said with a normal expression, "The immortal king is reincarnated, so you don't have to worship."

"!!!"

As soon as the master said this, the two elderly people and the four maids present were all taken aback.

Good guy!Noble such as the empress dowager also bowed down in front of the Buddha.The Taoist monk opened his mouth and said that elder brother Qi was the reincarnation of the immortal king, so he didn't have to worship him.

The Empress Dowager also turned her head and exchanged glances with Aunt Su Ma, her expression was as usual, and she didn't say much.

The originally solemn and peaceful atmosphere in the Great Buddha Hall suddenly felt a little awkward.

There were only two people at that time with a calm expression, Yinyou grinned and spoke like an ignorant brat: "You have seen it all."

The master still didn't say much, and made a "please" gesture to the Empress Dowager: "Let's start now."

After this worship to the Buddha, the Empress Dowager rewarded the eminent monk and the monastery where the eminent monk was located.

After returning to the Compassionate Ning Palace, Aunt Su Ma specially called a few maids in front of her, and stared at them a few words: "Seventh elder brother is young and ignorant, and he refuses to bow down in front of the Buddha. The master is merciful and said: He is the reincarnation of Xianjun, and he doesn't want to embarrass the Empress Dowager and Seventh Brother, so don't spread this matter to the outside world."

The ladies in the palace are all old people in the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and they also know about the gossip and gossip when Seventh Elder Brother was just born. Since Madam Su specially asked them to come over and say these things, they naturally kept saying yes and never dared to talk too much.

Yinyou's memory is really good. As long as it is the Buddhist scriptures he has copied, he can basically remember them almost exactly. Many of them can even be recited in the original language, and even if some can't be recited in the original language, he can also recite them.

The Empress Dowager stayed with him every day, with a smile on her face all the time, and she couldn't finish talking.

People have a problem when they get old. They can't remember the recent events clearly, but they can recall every detail of the past events many years ago.

She often mentioned to Yinyou some people and things in Shengjing.She said that Yinyou listened carefully. Sometimes the clan relationship is too complicated, and the little guy can't figure it out, so he will ask her.

Talk about how she made people pour ginseng soup into Hong Chengchou's mouth one by one, and persuaded him to surrender to the Qing army.

Talk about how she mediates under the watchful eyes of Hauge and Dorgon, and finally let Fulin, who is only six years old, ascend to the throne of God.

She is an unfortunate woman. She married Huang Taiji at the age of 13, and she has one son and three daughters. She ranked second in the harem, and later ranked last among the five Fujin. His own sister doted on the harem.

But in the end, with her political ability, she supported the two emperors who were rushing to board the plane during the most difficult period when the Qing army entered the customs, stabilized the political situation, maintained the unity of the clan, and finally allowed Aixinjueluo to aspire to the Central Plains.

Yinyou listened very carefully, some things were not even dared to write in history books, but the Empress Dowager told him calmly as if recalling the past in her life.

Later, when it comes to Abahai, the great concubine of Emperor Taizu of the Qing Dynasty, she has three second sons, Azige, Dorgon and Duoduo.

Yinyou has already heard the deeds of Dorgon and Duoduo, and the only one who doesn't know much is this Azig.

The little guy raised his head from Hua Rongdao on the table: "Who is Azig?"

Hearing his question, the Empress Dowager suddenly laughed: "Azig, don't you know who it is?"

Yinyou shook his head: "It seems... I don't know much."

The Empress Dowager half-closed her eyes and thought for a while: "You don't know about Azig, but you must know about his grandson."

"do not know."

Aunt Su Ma couldn't help reminding him: "You are in Qianqing Palace, the person you can see every day."

Yinyou thought about it, he could see Ama every day in Qianqing Palace.That certainly wasn't Amma.Who else but Ama?

"Ah, I see!" The little guy suddenly realized, "It's Rong Ruo!"

He bowed his head again and calculated the relationship. It seemed that they were relatives, but he really couldn't figure out what kind of relatives they were.

Forget it, there are too many relatives, and the little guy really can't tell who is who.

The Empress Dowager not only told him about Azig, but also Nalan's ancestor, Jin Taiji, how the Yehenala tribe gathered nine allied forces to attack the Jianzhou Jurchen, and Yehe City was defeated by the Jianzhou army.

Yinyou asked: "Who are the Jianzhou Jurchens?"

The Empress Dowager touched his little head: "Silly boy, I have been listening to the story for a long time, but I don't know who it is talking about. Isn't the Jianzhou Department your ancestor?"

The little guy nodded: "Understood! My ancestor broke into Rong Ruo's ancestor's city. He is still willing to be my teacher. Rong Ruo is really a good man."

How else can you say that he is a fool, the brain circuit is so simple and direct.He believes that a person is a good person, no matter what kind of grievances or hatreds his ancestors have, anyway, in Yinyou's heart, Nalan is a very good person!

Yinyou lived in the Palace of Compassion and Peace until after the Lantern Festival, and every day he copied Buddhist scriptures for Madam Ukuma, chatted with her, and listened to her stories.After half a month of getting along, the Empress Dowager had some minor illnesses and pains before. The imperial doctor took her pulse routinely and found that her body is getting stronger and stronger now.

Living in the Compassionate Ning Palace for more than half a month, he lived a life where he was taken care of properly every day, and if he wanted to eat, someone would immediately prepare it and bring it to him.

The imperial concubine came to pick him up to return to the Qian Palace, but he was still a little unhappy: "I don't want to go back."

In this matter, the imperial concubine is not used to him: "If you don't want to go back, you have to go back, you have to go to school."

The little guy looked at Erniang's face, and suddenly touched his right leg: "I...my leg doesn't feel right."

The imperial concubine let out a sneer, and pierced him ruthlessly: "I'll give you two slaps and you'll feel better."

"..."

The little guy turned his head to look at the Empress Dowager on the kang, the old ancestor sat there as if he had already settled down, his eyes were closed, he was twirling the Buddhist beads, and he was still chanting.

This was so obvious that even Mama Ukuma thought it was time for him to go back.

Yinyou had no choice but to obediently follow the imperial concubine back to Chengqian Palace.

Before leaving, the empress dowager stopped the imperial concubine: "He still occasionally says that his legs are uncomfortable, so you should pay more attention, don't always think he is lying."

The imperial concubine bowed and replied: "Yes."

The Empress Dowager said again: "The child I raised, I know, he won't lie."

The imperial concubine nodded: "The concubine knows, so don't bother the ancestors to worship the Buddha. The concubine will take Xiaoqi back."

"Go."

After leaving the gate of the Compassionate Palace, the imperial concubine sat on the board, and Yinyou rode his pony behind.

At the gate of Chengqian Palace, Yinyou seemed to suddenly think of something, raised his head and asked the imperial concubine: "After I go back, you won't just let me move to Elder Brother's house."

"What are you talking about?" The imperial concubine was really annoyed by him, "You go to the Compassionate Ning Palace to live for more than half a month, so I can't be the one who misses you."

Yinyou immediately rushed forward and hugged her leg: "I miss you too."

"Did not see it."

The little guy hangs on Erniang's lap like a pendant: "Really, I think about it every day."

"I think you don't want to come back yet."

"I'm afraid you'll send me away."

"..."

The conversation between mother and son fell into an endless loop. Yinyou let go of Erniang's leg and turned to hold Erniang's hand: "I'm back now? Don't be angry."

The imperial concubine pinched his face with a smile: "How can I be really angry with you?"

I heard that the seventh elder brother returned to Chengqian Palace, and Concubine Tong rushed to Chengqian Palace before lunch.

In the past half month, because Yinyou lived in the Compassionate Ning Palace, he and his aunt only saw each other at banquets, but they didn't have much chance to talk.

This little nephew is a bit skinny, and his small mouth is very good at speaking, but he is also really cute. I haven't seen him for a long time, and I still miss him.

Yinyou laughed when he saw her: "Auntie, Auntie!"

Concubine Tong smiled and patted his head: "Ouch! I haven't seen you for half a month, I've grown taller."

"Really?" Hearing others praised him for growing taller, the little guy was very happy, and complimented Concubine Tong politely, "Auntie, you have gained weight too."

Concubine Tong: "..."

I can't talk anymore today.

The imperial concubine went back to her bedroom to look in the mirror, and concubine Tong followed her in.There is a full-length mirror in my sister's room, which was paid by Western missionaries, and the emperor gave it to the imperial concubine on the spot.

She stood in front of the mirror and looked from all directions: "It seems... a little fat."

The imperial concubine raised her head and looked at her: "You are in puberty at this age, and you are still growing your body. It is normal to gain weight, and you will be fine in two years."

How could Concubine Tong listen to these words? Entering the palace to participate in the audition and being named a concubine meant that she had grown up and was old enough to marry.

How can I tell from my sister that she looks like a child and still has a long body?

The imperial concubine gave her a push: "Don't look, gaining weight won't affect anything at all."

That's true, anyway, the emperor didn't even enter the threshold of their Jingren Palace.That is to say, there are many family banquets in the palace during the month of Chinese New Year.Otherwise, he would almost forget what the emperor looks like just by seeing him on the day of the draft.

It stands to reason that his Yin Yingying from Jingren Palace is the most beautiful among this group of beautiful women, and the emperor has not even turned over the sign.

"Sister," Concubine Tong called Huang Guifei, "what do you think the emperor likes?"

His nephew was playing diabolo next to him, when he heard this, he suddenly raised his head: "It's not like you anyway."

The imperial concubine stuffed an amber walnut kernel into her son's mouth: "Shut up and play with you."

The little guy was full of happiness after eating the layer of icing on the outside.

The imperial concubine remembered the girl Wang sent by Li Xu when they were in Jiangning.

That looks like the big beauty who came out of the painting, the emperor probably likes that.

Not to mention the emperor, she likes it very much.

It's a pity that the girl couldn't go back to the palace with them in the end, because she was disturbed by this brat in front of her.

"elder sister?"

Concubine Tong looked at her suspiciously, not knowing what was going on with her.

The imperial concubine came back to her senses: "There are so many women in the harem, and the styles are all different. I can't say for sure which one I like."

At this time, the brat who had finished chewing the walnuts and swallowed down his stomach said again: "Of course he likes my mother."

Concubine Tong nodded with a smile: "I also think, why not my sister is the imperial concubine."

The imperial concubine looked at the two idiots, one big and one small, next to her.

One of them counts as one, plus the entire Tong family, they can have today's status, thanks to the former master of Jingren Palace, that hard-working woman.

Kangxi called Tong Guogang and Tong Guowei "uncles" to give him the face of his mother who died young, but it was just love for the house and Wu.

They are all just compensation objects.

Otherwise, how could her concubine younger sister be the lord of the first palace as soon as she entered the palace and enjoy the same treatment as the fourth concubine.

Looking back, Concubine Tong was high-fiving Yinyou, the two were bickering just now, and now they can play together again.

During lunch, Concubine Tong remembered that her little nephew said she had gained weight.So, the chopsticks that stretched out stretched out again.

The imperial concubine looked at her: "Why don't you eat?"

Concubine Tong was a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice, "It doesn't look good to be fat."

Imperial Concubine: "..."

Yinyou asked: "Who do you want to show this beauty to?"

"I……"

Before the aunt got angry, the little guy quickly put a piece of meat in her bowl: "Eat it quickly, I'm just kidding you, it doesn't matter if you are fatter."

Concubine Tong was a little touched, and her little nephew still loved her very much.She was about to put the meat in her mouth when she heard Yinyou muttering next to her: "Not fat nor good-looking."

"!!!"

The imperial concubine really wanted to laugh, and wanted to beat him up: "Why are you so annoying. Let me tell you, in the future, you are not allowed to say that girls are fat, let alone that girls are not good-looking!"

"Okay, okay!" Seventh elder brother's biggest advantage is that he admits his mistakes very quickly. He quickly put another piece of meat in his aunt's bowl, and another three pieces for himself, "I'll get fat with you!"

Satisfied, he ate one piece, another piece, and three pieces after eating three pieces: "Anyway, I look good no matter how fat I am."

"..."

On the second day, Yinyou was about to go to Qianqing Palace to study.He is now six years old. According to the rules Kangxi set for the prince, he should go to the study to receive a more systematic education.

The child is sensitive and sensible.Because of this, Kangxi was even more unwilling to see him crying and making a scene.

On this day, Kangxi came to check his homework, and found that his writing in lower script was getting more and more refined, beautiful and agile, and his strokes had a bit of elegance.

The old father liked it so much that he asked Liang Jiugong to put it away and send it to the South Study Room, where he had to show off in front of Tong Guowei.

The little guy put down his pen and sighed softly: "This was copied for Mama Ukuma during Chinese New Year."

He raised his little hand and said coquettishly: "Ama, look, my hand is almost swollen."

Kangxi laughed and held his little hand, and gently drew circles on his wrist with his thumb, coaxing him: "It's not swollen or swollen, it's more powerful, let Nalan ask you to paint some other day."

It's not enough for the little guy to get a massage from Ama himself, he has to push forward: "You blow it up."

"Okay, okay, I'll show you off." Kangxi had something to discuss with him today, so he was naturally obedient to him.

After Ama finished kneading and blowing, the little guy withdrew his hand and said to Kangxi, "Ama, I've made up my mind. I'll go to the study to study in the future."

"..."

Kangxi had been thinking about this for a long time, but he didn't say it out of his mouth, for fear that he would start crying.

Unexpectedly, the little guy brought it up by himself.

"why?"

Yinyou blinked, and his long and thick eyelashes fluttered: "My brothers are all studying in the study, and my eighth brother is also there. I can't let them go too far."

"Compared to them, you are not bad at all."

The little guy smiled and said, "But, I want to study with them."

In fact, the little guy just wanted to get closer to Sixth Brother.The fairy's words always lingered in his heart, but he couldn't worry about the safety of Sixth Brother no matter what.

"Well, from tomorrow on, you can go to the study to study."

Kangxi sat down on the chair beside him and waved to his son. After Yinyou came to him, he said: "When you go to the study room, you have to talk about the rules of the study room. When do you go to school, when do you leave school, what? What should I learn at this time, I can’t be willful, you know?”

The little guy nodded: "Got it."

"You must study hard and learn from the prince's brother. You must also help your brothers and get along well with them."

Yinyou nodded: "Okay, my brothers and I had a great time, they all like me."

The little guy is quite confident that others like him.

Kangxi said again: "Ama asked Prince Yu to send Baotai to study in the palace, and picked out some haha ​​beads for you."

"Can Xiaoyu come too?"

"Xiaoyu?" Kangxi obviously didn't remember who this person was.

Yinyou gestured to him: "I just have long hair, and I look like my sister."

Speaking of his younger sister, Kangxi understood: "You mean Cao Yin's heir?"

"That's right, it's him, let him make haha ​​beads for me too."

Kangxi looked aside and asked Cao Yin: "Are you willing to send the child to the palace?"

Cao Yin immediately smiled and said: "That is the blessing of the Cao family, so naturally I am willing."

Kangxi patted his son's head: "Since you are so good today, then Ama also has a gift for you."

The little guy's eyes lit up: "Is that the Seven Star Sword?"

"The Seven Star Sword said I would give it to you, so it is naturally yours. I will give you something else today."

The little guy's eyes lit up all of a sudden: "What is it?"

"It's what you've always wanted, so I won't tell you." Kangxi stood up, took his hand and walked out, "Let's go, Ama will send you back to Chengqian Palace, and you will know when the time comes."

The little guy's appetite was whetted by him, and he kept asking what it was all the way.

The more anxious he was, the less Kangxi would tell him.Instead, it was amused to see him racking his brains to figure out what it was.

Until returning to Chengqian Palace, the little guy was still asking: "What is what? Ama, tell me quickly."

The imperial concubine saw the father and son walking into the main hall, and she didn't know what they were entangled with.

Kangxi sat down leisurely, waited for everyone to salute him, and waved everyone to get up.

The maid brought him a teacup, and he picked it up and took a sip.Yinyou was so anxious that he circled around him.

Kangxi put down the teacup, and then ordered people to bring the things up.

The eunuch put a silver box and two strange big fruits on the table and retreated.

Yinyou looked at it curiously for a long time: "What is this?"

Kangxi asked him: "Do you still remember a plant that Nan Huairen once said? It grows in hot and humid places."

"Remember!" The little guy jumped up immediately, "Wow! I know, this is chocolate, made from the fruit of the cocoa tree, I have been thinking about it for a long time."

When he said this, the imperial concubine also became interested.She is naturally no stranger to chocolate, but she is curious about the kind of chocolate presented to Kangxi by Western missionaries.

The chocolate was obtained by Hong Shiheng, a Western doctor at the Imperial Hospital, at the behest of Kangxi.They also carefully made a silver box and a boxwood mixing spoon according to the habit of European nobles eating chocolate.

Hong Shiheng also told Kangxi how to eat: put the chocolate in a silver jar, then add cinnamon, fennel and sugar, etc., then boil it with hot water, stir it evenly with a boxwood spoon, and drink it, warming the stomach The effect of digestion.

Hearing this, the imperial concubine beside her couldn't help laughing, it was the first time she heard that chocolate could be used as medicine.

Kangxi turned his head to look at him: "What are you laughing at, cousin?"

"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it to come from the West, and we have to add our Chinese medicine when eating it."

"Ah!" Yinyou never expected that the chocolate he had been waiting for for so long turned out to be a kind of medicine, "Do you have to be sick to eat it?"

"Xiao Qi," the imperial concubine called him, "Think about what Mr. Nan said back then."

It's been too long, and Yinyou can't remember what the original words are, but he can only remember a general idea: "The seeds of the cocoa tree are called cocoa beans, and the food made from the squeezed fat is called chocolate. It has high nutritional value."

"That's right, Mr. Nan didn't say it was a kind of medicine." The imperial concubine looked at Kangxi, "According to what my concubine saw, Mr. Hong Shiheng just wanted the emperor to eat their food, so he said it was medicine."

Kangxi pondered for a while, not caring about the crime of deceiving the emperor.Instead, according to what Hong Shiheng said, they prepared fennel, cinnamon, sugar, etc., and prepared to taste what this chocolate tastes like.

As a result, the chocolate was ready, and Kangxi looked at the dark lump inside. The bitter taste of traditional Chinese medicine wafted in the air, and the emperor had no desire to taste it at all.

Yinyou volunteered to hold up the silver jar: "Ama, I used to take medicine a lot. I'm not afraid of hardship. I'll taste it for you."

The imperial concubine is dying of laughter, the father and son eating chocolate is like testing poison.

The little guy took a sip from the spoon, his little face immediately twisted together, and he turned his head and vomited: "This is so unpalatable, it doesn't taste good at all, and it's very bitter."

Kangxi looked at his painful expression, and quickly called someone: "Give him water to rinse his mouth!"

Yinyou sticks out his tongue like a puppy: "Bah, bah, it's really bad, it's really bad!"

The imperial concubine picked up the fruit next to it and took a look. It was two cocoa fruits with fresh cocoa beans inside.

She really wanted to tell her son that it's not that the chocolate tastes bad, it's that you eat it the wrong way.

"How about..." The imperial concubine thought for a while, and suggested to Kangxi, "The emperor will leave these chocolates in Chengqian Palace, and the concubine will try to find a way to make them taste better."

It was impossible for Hong Shiheng to return this thing, and Kangxi didn't intend to try it again, so he stayed here, maybe the imperial concubine could really research some new way to eat it.

After Kangxi left, the imperial concubine opened the jar of chocolate and took a look.My good fellow, there is a full jar, and it is quite a lot.Each piece is individually packaged and wrapped in oiled paper.

She took out a piece, broke off half of it and put it in her mouth. It was very pure dark chocolate, and it was quite delicious.

"I'm about to vomit!" Yinyou was anxious beside him, "This is not tasty, you are about to vomit."

"But I think it's delicious."

"what……"

The little guy set up a stool to probe the forehead of the imperial concubine: "It's over, it's over, my mother-in-law won't eat this and feel stupid."

The imperial concubine patted his hand away: "You are a fool."

"It's okay!" The little guy hugged her, "Even if you are a fool, you are still my mother, and I will not despise you."

"..."

The concubine Huang Guifei planned to show off to her son and turn the food that he thought was unpalatable into something delicious that he had never tasted before.

First take out a few pieces of chocolate, melt them, add fresh milk and sugar, stir and pour into the mold.

The temperature in Beijing is not too high now, so put the mold outside, and the chocolate will solidify in a short while.

The imperial concubine broke off a piece and handed it to her son: "Taste it."

The little guy took two steps back, his eyes full of fear: "Can you...can you eat it?"

Seeing his fearful expression, the imperial concubine wanted to laugh: "Of course I can eat it, it's so cute."

The little guy didn't believe her: "I'm the only baby for you, if I...ah!" He opened his mouth and rolled his eyes, making a gesture of falling down, "You don't have such a smart and cute baby. "

The imperial concubine said: "It's okay, I still have my fourth elder brother."

"..."

The little guy bit his lower lip: "I knew it, you are an eccentric mother."

After speaking, he snatched the chocolate from the imperial concubine's hand, as if mustering up so much courage, stuffed it into his mouth.

The imperial concubine looked at his heroic death expression, which was really cute and funny.

The next moment, the little guy frowned, raised the corners of his mouth, and sparkled in his eyes: "Wow! This is so delicious, it's silky and smooth, and it really tastes like Master Nan said. It melts."

The imperial concubine put away the others: "Okay, you just have to taste a piece. I will leave the rest to my eldest son."

"you……"

"Anyway, I'm an eccentric mother."

The little guy immediately rushed forward to show off his cuteness: "I mean...you are..." He tried his best to find words, his eyes sparkled, "You are a mother who favors my little son. "

The imperial concubine squatted down: "Kiss me once, and I'll eat it for you."

Without saying a word, Yinyou went up and hugged her neck, and kissed her madly on the face: "My mother is very fragrant, she is the most beautiful and generous mother in the world."

The imperial concubine quickly blocked his mouth with chocolate: "Hurry up and eat!"

Yinyou thinks that such delicious chocolate cannot be enjoyed by him alone, but must be shared with Mama Ukuma, Ama, siblings and good friends.

Kangxi didn't need him to share, so he came by himself that night.

The little guy fed Er Niang's new chocolate to his mouth as if offering a treasure, and Kangxi immediately turned his head to avoid it: "What is it, it doesn't taste good."

"It's delicious!" The little guy was very persistent, and he insisted on stuffing the chocolate into his Ama's mouth, "Try it!"

The son was so enthusiastic that the old father couldn't resist him, so he had to put the piece of chocolate in his hand into his mouth.

It is sweet and bitter, and has a strong milky aroma. The taste and texture are really good, but he doesn't like sweets at all, and his usual diet is very simple, so he is really not used to these foreigners.

Yingyou wanted to give everyone a taste of the chocolate, but after all, the quantity is limited, too much is not enough, and too little is outrageous.

The imperial concubine thought it was a good thing for her son to know how to share, so she thought of a way to make chocolate into chocolate cookies, so that the little guy could give it to his brothers, sisters and friends.

After sending off the brothers and sisters in the study room, Yinyou remembered a person, Dai Zi, his friend he met in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Master Dai once gave him a painting, but he hasn't returned the gift yet.Just in time, I will send some snacks over now, and I can also take care of how his "Renju Gun" is doing.

Dai Zi didn't expect that after a year, Brother Qi still remembered to bring him some snacks.I was really moved, I didn't expect him to be a errand in this court, and the only friend he made was a five-year-old child.

Yinyou asked him: "Has the 'Lianzhu Gun' been made yet?"

"No."

Dai Zi was drawing again, Yinyou stood on tiptoe and took a look, this time he drew a four-wheel flatbed cart with a long iron bucket on it.

Yinyou asked him: "What is this?"

"Western-made Francois cannon."

"Are only Westerners able to come out early?"

Dai Zi sighed: "It seems so at the moment."

This thing existed in the previous dynasty, because they called the Spaniards and Portuguese from Europe Franji, so they called this gun Franji.

The two of them didn't chat for a while, the eunuch's message came from outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation: "The emperor is here!"

The Hall of Mental Cultivation is so big, Yinyou can't avoid it, so he had a face-to-face meeting with his Ama.

Kangxi also did not expect to see his son in the building office: "Why did you come here?"

"I'll see when my glass house will be built."

An official from the Manufacturing Office at the side quickly replied: "It will be soon, we have already discussed with Mr. Zhang and Mr. Bai, and we will start manufacturing plate glass."

Kangxi came to the construction office today because he had an important matter to explain.Behind him was Belgian missionary Nan Huairen, and called Dai Zi to the side room next to him.

It was actually a small study room, and every time Kangxi came to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he summoned craftsmen there.

Yinyou was curious about what Ama was going to say to his friend, so he followed in.

Recently, the situation in Mongolia is getting worse and worse. As early as the third year of Shunzhi, the leaders of various Mongolian ministries have jointly surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.

As early as the 17th year of Kangxi, Taiji Gardan of the Junggar tribe took the title "Galdan Boshuoktu Khan" bestowed by the fifth Dalai Lama. At that time, he was determined to establish the Junggar Khanate.But because of the covenant, he didn't dare to be blatant.

After capturing the Uzbek Khanate now, he shifted the political center to the Ili Valley for a generation.This is to rebel openly and intends to oppose the Qing court.

Heilongjiang just expelled the Russians from the city of Yaksa, and Mobei may go to war at any time
