"Alas..." The imperial concubine sighed in her heart again, adults always think that children are innocent, as long as they don't tell them, they don't understand anything.
In fact, they know everything, have delicate feelings, have the keen intuition like small animals, and their perception ability exceeds the imagination of adults.
The son's sentence "she doesn't like you" really amused the old mother. A little baby under six years old can understand the emotional entanglements of adults so clearly.
It's not surprising when you think about it, after all, he is close to Nalan and Cao Yin.Most of the scenes where Li Xi was able to meet these two people were related to the little guy. He didn't know, and who else knew?
The imperial concubine wanted to laugh, but felt it was inappropriate, so she secretly looked at Kangxi's face next to her.
As she guessed, the emperor's face was not pretty.
So far, Kangxi has thirteen surviving sons. He is not yet 33 years old this year, and he is in the prime of his life. It is not a problem to have thirteen more sons.
There is no doubt that Yinyou is the one he loves the most among so many sons.He was given various preferential treatments in life, and he was always taken with him wherever he went. Western missionaries paid tribute to some delicious and fun things, and they would immediately think of sending them to him.
As Emperor Kangxi, although the Qianqing Palace did not have maids to serve him closely, the harem had never been short of women.As long as you don't leave the palace to marry someone, it's all his.Only these women can't get his favor, he doesn't need to win other people's favor.
If he really wanted to do something about Li Xi, he wouldn't have to wait until now. Ten years ago, Li Xi was his man, and he just...
He just loves his son, and doesn't want to see Yinyou feel sad because of such a trivial matter, and pretend to be sensible.Obediently in front of Ama Erniang, she said that she was willing to let Li Xi out of the palace, and always secretly wiped her tears behind her back.
As for now, his eyes are still red and swollen, and the pupils washed by tears are shining brightly, and he does not know how many times he has cried secretly.
It's just a court lady, as for making his most beloved son cry like this.
Seeing that Ama and Erniang were not talking, Yinyou thought for a while, then suddenly walked to Kangxi's side, and gently pulled his finger: "Ama, I know, you don't like Aunt Xi either, because you I want to keep her and take care of me."
The son's childish voice sounds clean and clear, with a little melancholy, which makes people feel distressed.
Kangxi glanced at him, but didn't pull out his hand, and didn't speak.
Yinyou continued: "I also don't want Aunt Xi to leave, but I know that she doesn't want to stay here, and has been waiting for the day when she leaves the palace. After finally waiting, but suddenly telling her that she can't leave, she must It would be sad. But I don't want to see her sad, I want her to be happy."
When Yinyou entered the main hall, Li Xi was standing by the door, and he could hear everything he said clearly.With his head down, his eyes were already blurred, and tears kept falling on the ground.
Kangxi put his arms around his son's back, let him lean into his arms, and said: "Li Xi is out of the palace, it will be very difficult for you to see her again in the future."
The little guy shook his head, but didn't even cry: "It's okay, it's her choice, and I respect her."
The imperial concubine stretched out her hand and scratched his chin: "My son is awesome!"
The little guy saw that Ama didn't speak, so he sat on Ama's lap with his hands and feet, put his arms around her neck and started acting coquettishly: "Ama, don't ask her to agree, why don't you agree to me if she promises? "
As soon as he said this, not to mention the imperial concubine at the side, the palace people inside and outside couldn't help but bow their heads and laugh.Only Li Xi cried even more sadly, as if he was separated from his own flesh and blood.
Sometimes, in the dead of night, some inexplicable thoughts would even flash through her.
Unknowingly, he took Seventh Brother out of the palace and found a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to live in seclusion. He stayed by his side every day and asked him to call himself mother.
Of course, this is just a little secret thought in her heart, she won't really do that.Seventh elder brother grew up in the palace since he was a child, with rich clothes, fine food and colorful flowers. How could he live a life in the mountains.
On the second day, Kangxi summoned Cao Yin to Qianqing Palace again, this time in the name of talking to him about business affairs, after all the emperor was still very concerned about where the money in his pocket was spent.
Cao Yin stood there tall and tall. He was almost 30 years old, and his appearance and temperament were still the same as that of a young man.Most of the time, they are not very serious, and when they are serious, there is a sense of coolness that strangers should not enter.
Kangxi listened to his detailed report, and after listening, he casually asked two questions that he was more concerned about.
After that, the South Study Room became quiet.
Kangxi didn't speak, neither did Cao Yin.After a while, Kangxi rolled his eyes at him angrily, and said, "What are you doing? I think you haven't been living well by yourself all these years, so you can't wait?"
Kangxi never cared, and rarely asked about the family affairs of his courtiers.Even the Son of Heaven doesn't care whether other people marry or not, and who they want to live with.
But Cao Yin is different, their relationship is extraordinary.Previously, the two were inseparable, with few secrets.As his personal bodyguard, Cao Yin guarded outside Qianqing Palace every day, and he knew exactly which empress sign he turned over that night.
Kangxi was naturally concerned about Cao Yin's marriage. When he heard that the Empress Dowager named Li Xi to marry Cao Yin, he felt a little unhappy.
I can't tell what kind of mood it is, it's not that Li Xi is bad, but it's a bit like a mother-in-law looking at her daughter-in-law, and everyone thinks it's bad.
This is the same as when he tried every means to keep Nalan in the South Study Room. He always felt that staying by my side was best for my use, and it was not appropriate to go anywhere.
But he finally let Nalan leave the South Study Room. Cao Yin will marry a wife and have children sooner or later, so he can't just be a bachelor for the rest of his life.
Thinking about it this way, Li Xi might not be a bad choice.
"No," Cao Yin stood there bowed, with a respectful attitude, "It all depends on the arrangement of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor."
This sounded like anger to Kangxi's ears. He stood up from behind the dragon case, walked up to Cao Yin, and suddenly raised his hand to push him: "Look at you, if I really sealed Li Xi Promise, you are afraid that you will remember and hate me for the rest of your life."
He was emotional this time, and the attack was not light, but Cao Yin stood still and said, "I dare not."
He said he didn't dare, but his attitude was very clear: That's right, you didn't do it properly, and I just don't want to talk to you.
Kangxi asked again: "Aren't you still in Ding You?"
"Back to the emperor, Ding You's 27-month period has expired."
Kangxi murmured: "Let Li Xi stay with Xiaoqi for a few more days, you go home and prepare for the marriage."
Cao Yin said, "I won't marry anymore."
Kangxi raised his foot and kicked: "Kick your nose and face."
Cao Yin dodged away: "You said this, you are not joking."
"roll!"
This time Cao Yin didn't leave, and approached him smilingly thanking him.Kangxi tidied up his appearance and said, "If you want to thank you, thank Brother Qi. Remember, this is the grace he gave you."
"Yes yes yes..." Cao Yin nodded with a smile, "I have a very close friendship with Seventh Brother, and I will remember this kindness forever."
Kangxi couldn't help laughing at the way he walked out and how different he was when he came in.
He still vaguely remembered the appearance of Cao Yin when he was a child, curiously looking at him from behind Cao Xi with his head tilted. Although he didn't look like him, his expression and gaze were very similar to the current Yinyou.
In the past, after going to the study and leaving school, Yinyou would go to elder brother's house every now and then to play with his brothers and eat and drink in the elder brother's yard.
Now he doesn't go anywhere, as soon as school is over, he rushes back to Chengqian Palace.
Li Xi always stood at the gate of the palace early and waited for him as usual, looking at the other side of the aisle from a distance.
Seeing that little figure from far to near, he would laugh and wave to him.
Yinyou got off the horse, handed the reins to Zhao Cheng, and ran forward, took Aunt Xi's hand and walked in.
Li Xi looked at Ta Ri's size, then at Yin You, and said with a smile: "No matter how tall my brother is, I'm afraid I won't be able to ride it next year."
Yinyou said obediently: "It's okay, my leg is healed, and I can walk by myself."
Li Xi teased him: "Who said that his legs were uncomfortable two days ago and asked me to rub them for him?"
The little guy followed her back to the house, raised his hand, and asked her to change his clothes: "Then I just want you to spend more time with me."
"..."
Li Xi couldn't talk for a while, so he could only bury his head in his work, take off his clothes, put on new ones, fasten the buttons, and fasten his belt.
In the past few days, the first thing Yinyou did after school was to rush back to Chengqian Palace, sticking to her all the time.
She was asked to accompany her when she was studying, and she even took the initiative to move a stool for her.
When practicing handwriting, let her study ink on the side, and let her see how well she writes.From big characters to lower case, it is more than twice the usual amount of writing.
During dinner, she also wanted Li Xi to accompany her every step of the way.
As long as Kangxi is not around, the imperial concubine will let Li Xi sit down and eat together.
At this time, Yinyou was very happy, and would take the initiative to bring food and soup to Aunt Xi, which was called hospitality.
"This dress is a bit short, I'll make another one for you."
Li Xi withdrew his thoughts, afraid that if he thought about it again, he would cry again.
"No need," Yinyou pulled down his sleeves, "You should do it for yourself..."
Speaking of this, he suddenly got stuck and thought for a long time before he remembered: "Make yourself a wedding dress."
Li Xi put the dirty clothes he changed into a basket: "I won't do it."
"Then let Ziqing do it for you."
Li Xi couldn't help blushing again: "Go and wash your hands, I'll ask someone to bring in the snacks."
Whenever it was time to go to bed at night, Yinyou went to bed early and lay down.In the past, the imperial concubine would tell him bedtime stories.
In the past few days, the little guy didn't even want Erniang, so he picked a book from the bookshelf, brought it over, and asked Li Xi to read it to him.
Hearing this, the little guy fell asleep, and when he fell asleep, he was still holding Li Xi's clothes, preventing her from leaving.
When you wake up in the morning, you must see Aunt Xi when you open your eyes, otherwise you will sit on the bed and yell relentlessly.
Finally, half a month later, it was time for Li Xi to leave the palace.
The first night, she silently packed her things.Take a stack of papers from the bottom shelf of the bookshelf.
Those were the calligraphy practiced by Yinyou at various stages, and she couldn't bear to lose them, so she arranged them in order according to the time, and kept them pile by pile.
He took out a sheet from each stack, representing different periods of Yinyou's writing, and then brought it to the imperial concubine, and asked, "Your Majesty, can this servant take these as a souvenir?"
The imperial concubine nodded: "You take it."
She beckoned again, and Bai Lu brought over a wooden box, opened it and put it on the table: "These are from your mother, they are all gold hairpin jewelry."
Li Xi took a look into the wooden box, there were a lot of things, and all of them were treasures that could not be seen outside the palace.
Bai Lu took out another handkerchief and stuffed it into her hand: "This is given to you by some of our sisters, please keep it in mind."
Yinyou stood behind them, watching them exchange gifts.Suddenly he walked up to Li Xi, pulled something from his belt and stuffed it into Li Xi's hand: "Aunt Xi, this is for you."
Li Xi looked down and saw that it was a safety buckle made of warm jade, which was given to Yinyou by Tong Guowei on his birthday one year.Every year after Bailu, the weather gradually turns cold, and the imperial concubine will take it out for him to wear.
"Brother, this is not acceptable." Li Xi quickly squatted down, trying to put the jade pendant on him again.
The little guy dodged and hid behind Eniang: "Hold it, and when you see it in the future, you will be able to think of me."
This piece of jade is very valuable, the imperial concubine saw Li Xi's hesitation, and said with a smile: "Since he gave it to you, you can take it."
After finishing speaking, the imperial concubine took Bai Lu and pushed it out.Save the last night for your son, let him say goodbye to Aunt Xi.
In the evening, Li Xi put Yinyou to sleep first, then sat down at the table lightly, and took something from his neck. It was a jade pendant strung on a red silk rope, a Guanyin carved from clear jadeite, and the eyebrows and eyes between the square inches were very small. lifelike.
She took off the red string on the top, took the red silk thread and spun a new one.
Early the next morning, Yinyou got up, Li Xi dressed him, took out the Jade Guanyin, hung it around Yinyou's neck, and adjusted the length of the rope for him.
"My mother gave it to me before entering the palace. Although it may not exist in the palace, it is also my heart. You wear it and let it accompany you instead of me."
Yinyou touched the Jade Avalokitesvara, which was smooth and delicate, with the unique icy and cool touch of jadeite.
Today Li Xi has been sending Yinyou to the corner gate leading to Qianqing Palace. The two of them have also discussed that the little guy will rush back to see her off after school in the afternoon.
But today, the instructor who taught riding and archery was ignorant. Everyone had to do the movements again, and they were not allowed to dismiss the get out of class until they met the standard.
So, it was a bit late when school was over.
Yinyou rode Ta Ri all the way back to Chengqian Palace, Sun Nanny told him that Li Xi had already left, and Shenwu Gate would be closed later, so she couldn't get out.
Yinyou didn't even enter the gate of Chengqian Palace, he clamped Ta Ri's belly tightly, and walked all the way to the imperial garden along the road in Dongtong.
The imperial concubine heard the movement, and hurriedly chased him out, only to see his figure on the horse, Zhao Cheng and a few eunuchs hurried behind, shouting anxiously: "Seventh elder brother, please slow down!" , don't fall."
The imperial concubine was worried about her son, so she could only follow along.
When Li Xi came to Shenwu Gate, Li Xu and Cao Yin were already waiting outside the gate.All her things have been loaded into the carriage, as long as people go out, they can go in the carriage.
Li Xu didn't see his younger sister very often, so he was quite excited when he saw her, and he kept waving at her outside the Shenwu Gate: "Here, your brother is here, come out!"
Li Xi glanced at him, but squatted on the spot without moving.
She turned her head and kept looking east.But there was nothing there except a few eunuchs doing odd jobs.
The guard on duty at the palace gate also urged: "Hurry up, you won't be able to leave as soon as the palace gate is closed."
Just as Li Xi was about to move, there was the sound of horseshoes coming from far and near behind him.
Looking back, the little pony was indeed carrying that little figure on its back.
Yinyou came to Shenwu Gate, reined in the reins, and told Ta Ri to stop.
His pony has not yet stood still, and the man can't wait to jump off the horse.
Not to mention Li Xi's dismounting posture, even Cao Yin, who was standing outside the Shenwu Gate, was terrified and almost flew in to catch him.
At this time, Li Xi had already run over and squatted in front of Yinyou.Although he was smiling, his voice was crying: "What are you doing running so fast, look at the sweat on your head, blow the wind carefully, and you will catch a cold again."
At this time, the imperial concubine also rushed over.The empress and princesses who were finishing swimming in the imperial garden planned to go back to the palace before it was dark, but when they saw her coming, they gathered around to say hello.
The imperial concubine waved her hand, her eyes kept on her son, but she didn't step forward to disturb him.
So, everyone gathered around her, quietly watching the two people in the distance.
The wind in the imperial garden was very strong, Li Xi had already changed into the maid's clothes, and her hair was combed like an ordinary woman.His forehead hair was blown by the wind, just blocking his eyes.
Yinyou stretched out his little hand, and gently smoothed the broken hair flying around for her, then wiped the tears from her face, smiled, and said, "I haven't said goodbye to you yet."
Li Xi couldn't bear it anymore, and hugged him tightly into his arms, crying so hard that he couldn't help himself.
The thought that had been suppressed by her came out without warning, and it became stronger and stronger.The words are stuck in the throat, and they may blurt out at any time regardless of reason.
Cao Yin walked up to the guard, bowed his head and said something to the guard.
Cao Zuoling has been a Luan Yiwei for ten years, and there is no celebrity around the emperor who doesn't know him, so naturally he has to accommodate his unfeeling invitation.
So, Cao Yin walked into the palace gate, came to Yinyou and Li Xi, and patted Li Xi's shoulder lightly.
Li Xi and Yinyou looked up at him at the same time, Cao Yin had a slight smile on his face, and when he restrained his cynicism, he seemed much warmer.
For some reason, Li Xi had known him for ten years, but he was not familiar with him, and he hadn't spoken a few words.But with just one look, Li Xi understood what he meant.
Yinyou pouted, pushed his hand away very unhappy, and said very bluntly: "Don't touch my Aunt Xi, she is not your daughter-in-law yet."
When Cao Yin heard this, he was taken aback for a moment, and then he felt a little bit of grievance, inexplicably giving birth to the illusion that his friends turned against each other.
Yinyou turned his head and said to Li Xi: "Don't worry, I will take good care of myself. When I grow up and can go out of the palace, I will visit you."
As he spoke, he took Li Xi's hand again, pulled her to stand up, walked to Cao Yin, took Cao Yin's hand with the other hand, and solemnly handed over his Aunt Xi to his good friend.
"Ziqing, I'm handing her over to you now. You have to take good care of her, protect her, and don't let her cry."
Cao Yin smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
The little guy turned his head to look at Li Xi again: "If he treats you badly, you can come to me. I will still take care of you when you get old, and keep what you say."
Li Xi was choked up and unable to speak. After living for more than 20 years, he found that none of his children were sensible.
At this time, the sun had already set on the eaves on the west side, and it was getting dark, and the closing time of Shenwumen could not be delayed any longer.
Cao Yin took Li Xi's hand: "Let's go."
Yinyou stood where he was, quietly watching them turn around and walk out of Shenwumen slowly.
Just when the palace gate was about to close, the little guy finally couldn't hold back and shouted towards Li Xi's back: "Aunt Xi, I will miss you!"
Seeing this scene, the people in the imperial garden who originally wanted to watch the excitement were all moved by it, and they all picked up handkerchiefs to wipe the tears from the corners of their eyes.
Who wouldn't want to have a son like Seventh Brother, he is so cute, so kind, so empathetic and righteous, no one would dislike him.
Seeing her son sad, the imperial concubine was also saddened to death, her son cried, and she cried too.
She wanted to step forward and give that little figure a hug, and she didn't want her son to stand there alone.
At this moment, there is another person beside Yinyou.
That person was half a head taller than Yinyou, wearing a light pink dress, with hairpins dotted on his hair, he was the fourth princess who was one year older than Yinyou.
The little girl raised her brother's face, and wiped away his tears with a handkerchief: "Why are you crying, this is a good thing."
Yinyou blinked his big eyes and looked at her blankly.
The fourth princess said again: "Anyway, the people in this palace either want to be empresses, or they want to get out of this palace gate. Aunt Xi got what she wanted. You should be happy for her."
The adults on the side looked at the two of them, and it was hard to believe that these words came from a seven or eight-year-old girl.
As the emperor's daughters, their fate was predetermined from the moment they were born.
When she was sixteen or seventeen years old, the imperial father bestowed the title of Princess Heshuo, and traveled a long way to marry to Mongolia, using their happiness to consolidate the rule of the Qing Dynasty over Mongolia.
Yinyou looked at the fourth sister in the twilight, and always felt that she was different from other brothers and sisters.
Because he had made enough psychological preparations, after Li Xi left, Yinyou's life remained the same without any impact.
Grandma Sun still took care of him with all her heart, and the imperial concubine assigned Bai Lu to his side to take care of his daily life.
On this day, Nan Huairen came to the South Study Room to teach Kangxi as usual.
He was old and still unable to walk, so he recommended his Belgian compatriot Anduo as his successor to Kangxi, and continued to teach mathematics and natural science for Kangxi.
Today is Nan Huairen's last class for Kangxi.Kangxi recalled that Yinyou was depressed recently because of Li Xi's going out of the palace. When he was young, he liked to listen to Nan Huairen talking about legends and fables from all over the world.
So, he specially sent someone to bring the little guy here, and asked him to accompany him to listen to Nan Huairen's lecture for the last time.
In this last class, Nan Huairen spoke in a rather illusory way, talking about cosmic playthings, philosophy and theology, which made Yinyou, a real little fairy, feel drowsy.
Finally, the class was over, and the little guy couldn't help stretching himself.Halfway through, he was glared at by Ama, and he locked his hand back embarrassingly.
Nan Huairen was about to stand up, bow to Kangxi and leave.Yinyou suddenly thought of something, stepped forward, and stopped him: "Master Nan, please stay!"
He helped Nan Huairen to sit down again, thought for a while and asked seriously: "I remember hearing you say that your temples, castles and palaces are all very tall and large."
Nan Huairen nodded, and said in Chinese with a distinct accent: "European buildings are generally tall and magnificent, mainly masonry structures, which are very different from the civil structures of the Qing Dynasty."
Yinyou asked: "We also use glutinous rice cakes... no, is it built with glutinous rice paste?"
Kangxi sat on the dragon chair, quietly listening to his son's questions.I don't know why he became interested in Western architecture again.
"No, no, no..." Nan Huairen shook his head, "Of course not using glutinous rice paste, glutinous rice paste is not durable, there are rich volcanic resources in Rome and Greece, people use volcanic ash and limestone to make cement and bricks Stone houses."
Hearing this, Kangxi couldn't help snorting coldly in his heart.The simple and crude construction method of building stones on top of each other is tall and magnificent when the building is high.The ingenuity and ingenuity of the civil architecture are beyond the comprehension of these Westerners.
Yinyou doesn't have as much inner activity as his Ama. When he heard a new term, he asked, "What is a volcano?"
Nan Huairen patiently explained to him again: "Brother Seven can just understand it as a mountain that erupts. And the fine debris brought out by the volcano when it erupts is volcanic ash."
Yinyou nodded: "Can this volcanic ash replace glutinous rice mortar?"
"More durable and corrosion-resistant than glutinous rice mortar."
Yinyou continued to ask: "Then do we have volcanoes and volcanic ash here?"
Nan Huairen shook his head and said with certainty, "Yes, but not many."
After Nan Huairen left, Kangxi laughed and teased his son: "You don't read well all day long, and you are always interested in these messy things."
The little guy ran up to him and waved at him: "No, Ama, I want to help you."
"Help me?" Although the son's words made Kangxi feel funny, but he was a little relieved. The little guy was not yet six years old, and he already knew that he wanted to share Ama's worries.
"Okay, tell me how you can help me."
Yinyou leaned on his dragon chair: "Look, they glued volcanic ash and sand and gravel to build a house. It can be built very high without collapsing. Then we can also use it to build a house."
Kangxi patted his head: "Why do we want to build such a tall house?"
Yinyou frowned: "Then let's not build a house, let's build something else?"
Kangxi's mood at this time was still that the old father had nothing to do to make the child happy, and asked him with a smile: "What's the cover?"
Yinyou said: "The embankment of the Yellow River."
"..."
The river engineering of the Yellow River has always been a heart problem of Kangxi. So much manpower and financial resources have been invested. Jin Fu, the governor of the river, has been stationed in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, trying to solve the local flood problem. The local people brought a lot of trouble.
Kangxi himself has read many books on river management. These ancient books have clear records on where and how to take soil.
But in the final analysis, these are raw soil, no matter how hard it is rammed, it cannot withstand the rushing water of the Yellow River.
As a plant gel, glutinous rice mortar can replace limestone and volcanic ash to play a gelling role. It is okay to build large buildings such as the Great Wall or fortresses, but it is not corrosion-resistant underwater and has little effect.
Yinyou put two small hands on Ama's arm and pushed it: "I read in the book that spring is the best season to build river embankments. Ama, you are sending people to find volcanic ash now. Isn't there such a big Qing Dynasty?" Is it a volcano? Find it and use it to build a river embankment."
Kangxi nodded his little nose: "The volcanic ash is not so easy to find, even if it is found, it is not so easy to transport it to the Yellow River."
Yinyou smiled and said, "Then find other soil to replace the volcanic ash."
Kangxi picked him up immediately: "Okay, let Ama worry about this matter, don't think about it, you should think about how to study hard."
Hearing the word reading, the little guy lowered his head involuntarily.
In a blink of an eye, it is the twelfth lunar month again, and the Laba season is also Yinyou's birthday.
As usual, the brothers have prepared various gifts for him.
On the day the little guy was six years old, something frightened him.
He was playing hide-and-seek with his brothers and sisters in the garden of the Compassionate Palace, covering his eyes with a handkerchief.
Originally, the fifth elder brother was blindfolded to arrest people, and he was about to grab the sixth elder brother. At this time, Yinyou ran out from the side, pushed his sixth elder brother away, and was caught by the fifth elder brother.
The fifth elder brother pulled, and tore off the handkerchief covering his eyes.When he saw it, he was quite disappointed: "I was going to arrest the sixth son, why did you escape, Xiao Qi?"
Yinyou pouted innocently: "Humph! The fifth brother said he wanted to arrest the sixth brother, but he grabbed me. Isn't he just bullying me because I have bad legs and can't run?"
Hearing these words, Fifth Prince frowned, raised his handkerchief again, and prepared to cover his eyes: "Then I'll do it again."
Yinyou immediately rushed forward to grab the handkerchief in his hand: "No need, no need, I'm not lazy, I should come if I lose."
At this time Yinzuo suddenly stood up and pulled the handkerchief from their hands: "I should have been arrested, but Xiao Qi stood in front of me, so I don't want others to help me." .”
All right, brother five doesn't want to rob him, but Yinyou can't rob him, so let him catch people, everyone hide quickly.
Yinyou ran and ran far away unconsciously. He walked around to the other side of the rockery alone. He didn't forget to look back at the situation here, but suddenly he tripped and fell down.
Everyone was on the other side, and no one noticed him.Children play games, run around, the ground is snowy and slippery, and wrestling is also common.
Yinyou supported the ground with his small hands, intending to stand up by himself, but there was something salty inside, and he spat on the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
The little guy sat on the ground, took a closer look, and found something in the blood foam he spit out.
Picking it up and examining it carefully, I found that it was his teeth.
The little guy used his tongue to scan the mouth indiscriminately, and he found a defect.
He suddenly sighed deeply, and couldn't help feeling sad.
"Xiaoqi, Xiaoqi!" Sixth Brother's voice came from not far away, "You ran so far, how can I catch you?"
Yinyou quickly raised his sleeves and wiped his mouth, put his teeth into the purse on his waist, then stood up and walked back.
After he walked in, Eighth Brother was the first to notice something was wrong: "Seventh Brother, what's wrong with you?"
The fifth elder brother and sixth elder brother also found him covered in mud and snow, looking a bit embarrassed.
Everyone hurried up and patted off the stains on his body in a hurry.
At this time, the fourth elder brother who stood by and watched them play games with cold eyes also ran over and asked nervously, "What's the matter?"
Yinyou wanted to grin and smile at him, but suddenly remembered that he had lost a tooth, so he closed his mouth and showed a half-smile expression: "It's okay, it's okay, I fell down."
The fourth elder brother asked again: "Where did you fall?"
Yinyou shook his head: "There was a lot of snow on the ground, and it didn't fall anywhere."
The fourth elder brother touched him up and down, and pinched his right leg emphatically: "Are you all right?"
Yinyou shook his head: "Really."
Therefore, Yinyou seemed preoccupied throughout the whole day, no matter who teased him, he kept a smile showing only four front teeth, as cute as a little rabbit.
When it was time to go to bed at night, Bai Lu prepared to rinse his mouth according to the imperial concubine's arrangement. The little guy took the green salt and water and cleaned it up by himself, without Bai Lu helping him.
Bai Lu only thought that it was because Li Xi was gone and he was not used to interacting with others, so she let it go and just waited silently by the side.
When sleeping at night, Yinyou took out his teeth and looked at them again and again.
In his impression, Mama Ukuma also lost a tooth, and the Empress Dowager explained to him with a smile that people lost their teeth when they were old and useless.
So, the little guy suddenly thought, is he also old and useless, so...
Thinking of this, he was a little scared, tossing and turning on the bed, thinking wildly.
What should I do if I get sick? Will I die? If I die, I won’t be able to see Mama Ukuma, Erniang and Ama.
Woooooo~ So sad!
Early the next morning, the imperial concubine found out that something was wrong with him.The thick dark circles under his eyes seemed to have been up all night, so he asked him, "Did you not sleep well last night?"
Yinyou nodded.
The imperial concubine asked again: "Is there something on your mind?"
Yinyou bit her lower lip: "Emiang, I want to tell you something."
Seeing him like this, the imperial concubine suddenly became nervous: "What's wrong?"
"I really want to be sick," he suddenly threw himself into Er Niang's arms, "If I die, you'd better have another baby. Although it's not as smart and cute as me, it's better than nothing."
The imperial concubine was frightened to death by him: "What's the matter, what's wrong with you, tell Er Niang."
The little guy stretched out his hand and spread his palms.
In fact, they know everything, have delicate feelings, have the keen intuition like small animals, and their perception ability exceeds the imagination of adults.
The son's sentence "she doesn't like you" really amused the old mother. A little baby under six years old can understand the emotional entanglements of adults so clearly.
It's not surprising when you think about it, after all, he is close to Nalan and Cao Yin.Most of the scenes where Li Xi was able to meet these two people were related to the little guy. He didn't know, and who else knew?
The imperial concubine wanted to laugh, but felt it was inappropriate, so she secretly looked at Kangxi's face next to her.
As she guessed, the emperor's face was not pretty.
So far, Kangxi has thirteen surviving sons. He is not yet 33 years old this year, and he is in the prime of his life. It is not a problem to have thirteen more sons.
There is no doubt that Yinyou is the one he loves the most among so many sons.He was given various preferential treatments in life, and he was always taken with him wherever he went. Western missionaries paid tribute to some delicious and fun things, and they would immediately think of sending them to him.
As Emperor Kangxi, although the Qianqing Palace did not have maids to serve him closely, the harem had never been short of women.As long as you don't leave the palace to marry someone, it's all his.Only these women can't get his favor, he doesn't need to win other people's favor.
If he really wanted to do something about Li Xi, he wouldn't have to wait until now. Ten years ago, Li Xi was his man, and he just...
He just loves his son, and doesn't want to see Yinyou feel sad because of such a trivial matter, and pretend to be sensible.Obediently in front of Ama Erniang, she said that she was willing to let Li Xi out of the palace, and always secretly wiped her tears behind her back.
As for now, his eyes are still red and swollen, and the pupils washed by tears are shining brightly, and he does not know how many times he has cried secretly.
It's just a court lady, as for making his most beloved son cry like this.
Seeing that Ama and Erniang were not talking, Yinyou thought for a while, then suddenly walked to Kangxi's side, and gently pulled his finger: "Ama, I know, you don't like Aunt Xi either, because you I want to keep her and take care of me."
The son's childish voice sounds clean and clear, with a little melancholy, which makes people feel distressed.
Kangxi glanced at him, but didn't pull out his hand, and didn't speak.
Yinyou continued: "I also don't want Aunt Xi to leave, but I know that she doesn't want to stay here, and has been waiting for the day when she leaves the palace. After finally waiting, but suddenly telling her that she can't leave, she must It would be sad. But I don't want to see her sad, I want her to be happy."
When Yinyou entered the main hall, Li Xi was standing by the door, and he could hear everything he said clearly.With his head down, his eyes were already blurred, and tears kept falling on the ground.
Kangxi put his arms around his son's back, let him lean into his arms, and said: "Li Xi is out of the palace, it will be very difficult for you to see her again in the future."
The little guy shook his head, but didn't even cry: "It's okay, it's her choice, and I respect her."
The imperial concubine stretched out her hand and scratched his chin: "My son is awesome!"
The little guy saw that Ama didn't speak, so he sat on Ama's lap with his hands and feet, put his arms around her neck and started acting coquettishly: "Ama, don't ask her to agree, why don't you agree to me if she promises? "
As soon as he said this, not to mention the imperial concubine at the side, the palace people inside and outside couldn't help but bow their heads and laugh.Only Li Xi cried even more sadly, as if he was separated from his own flesh and blood.
Sometimes, in the dead of night, some inexplicable thoughts would even flash through her.
Unknowingly, he took Seventh Brother out of the palace and found a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to live in seclusion. He stayed by his side every day and asked him to call himself mother.
Of course, this is just a little secret thought in her heart, she won't really do that.Seventh elder brother grew up in the palace since he was a child, with rich clothes, fine food and colorful flowers. How could he live a life in the mountains.
On the second day, Kangxi summoned Cao Yin to Qianqing Palace again, this time in the name of talking to him about business affairs, after all the emperor was still very concerned about where the money in his pocket was spent.
Cao Yin stood there tall and tall. He was almost 30 years old, and his appearance and temperament were still the same as that of a young man.Most of the time, they are not very serious, and when they are serious, there is a sense of coolness that strangers should not enter.
Kangxi listened to his detailed report, and after listening, he casually asked two questions that he was more concerned about.
After that, the South Study Room became quiet.
Kangxi didn't speak, neither did Cao Yin.After a while, Kangxi rolled his eyes at him angrily, and said, "What are you doing? I think you haven't been living well by yourself all these years, so you can't wait?"
Kangxi never cared, and rarely asked about the family affairs of his courtiers.Even the Son of Heaven doesn't care whether other people marry or not, and who they want to live with.
But Cao Yin is different, their relationship is extraordinary.Previously, the two were inseparable, with few secrets.As his personal bodyguard, Cao Yin guarded outside Qianqing Palace every day, and he knew exactly which empress sign he turned over that night.
Kangxi was naturally concerned about Cao Yin's marriage. When he heard that the Empress Dowager named Li Xi to marry Cao Yin, he felt a little unhappy.
I can't tell what kind of mood it is, it's not that Li Xi is bad, but it's a bit like a mother-in-law looking at her daughter-in-law, and everyone thinks it's bad.
This is the same as when he tried every means to keep Nalan in the South Study Room. He always felt that staying by my side was best for my use, and it was not appropriate to go anywhere.
But he finally let Nalan leave the South Study Room. Cao Yin will marry a wife and have children sooner or later, so he can't just be a bachelor for the rest of his life.
Thinking about it this way, Li Xi might not be a bad choice.
"No," Cao Yin stood there bowed, with a respectful attitude, "It all depends on the arrangement of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor."
This sounded like anger to Kangxi's ears. He stood up from behind the dragon case, walked up to Cao Yin, and suddenly raised his hand to push him: "Look at you, if I really sealed Li Xi Promise, you are afraid that you will remember and hate me for the rest of your life."
He was emotional this time, and the attack was not light, but Cao Yin stood still and said, "I dare not."
He said he didn't dare, but his attitude was very clear: That's right, you didn't do it properly, and I just don't want to talk to you.
Kangxi asked again: "Aren't you still in Ding You?"
"Back to the emperor, Ding You's 27-month period has expired."
Kangxi murmured: "Let Li Xi stay with Xiaoqi for a few more days, you go home and prepare for the marriage."
Cao Yin said, "I won't marry anymore."
Kangxi raised his foot and kicked: "Kick your nose and face."
Cao Yin dodged away: "You said this, you are not joking."
"roll!"
This time Cao Yin didn't leave, and approached him smilingly thanking him.Kangxi tidied up his appearance and said, "If you want to thank you, thank Brother Qi. Remember, this is the grace he gave you."
"Yes yes yes..." Cao Yin nodded with a smile, "I have a very close friendship with Seventh Brother, and I will remember this kindness forever."
Kangxi couldn't help laughing at the way he walked out and how different he was when he came in.
He still vaguely remembered the appearance of Cao Yin when he was a child, curiously looking at him from behind Cao Xi with his head tilted. Although he didn't look like him, his expression and gaze were very similar to the current Yinyou.
In the past, after going to the study and leaving school, Yinyou would go to elder brother's house every now and then to play with his brothers and eat and drink in the elder brother's yard.
Now he doesn't go anywhere, as soon as school is over, he rushes back to Chengqian Palace.
Li Xi always stood at the gate of the palace early and waited for him as usual, looking at the other side of the aisle from a distance.
Seeing that little figure from far to near, he would laugh and wave to him.
Yinyou got off the horse, handed the reins to Zhao Cheng, and ran forward, took Aunt Xi's hand and walked in.
Li Xi looked at Ta Ri's size, then at Yin You, and said with a smile: "No matter how tall my brother is, I'm afraid I won't be able to ride it next year."
Yinyou said obediently: "It's okay, my leg is healed, and I can walk by myself."
Li Xi teased him: "Who said that his legs were uncomfortable two days ago and asked me to rub them for him?"
The little guy followed her back to the house, raised his hand, and asked her to change his clothes: "Then I just want you to spend more time with me."
"..."
Li Xi couldn't talk for a while, so he could only bury his head in his work, take off his clothes, put on new ones, fasten the buttons, and fasten his belt.
In the past few days, the first thing Yinyou did after school was to rush back to Chengqian Palace, sticking to her all the time.
She was asked to accompany her when she was studying, and she even took the initiative to move a stool for her.
When practicing handwriting, let her study ink on the side, and let her see how well she writes.From big characters to lower case, it is more than twice the usual amount of writing.
During dinner, she also wanted Li Xi to accompany her every step of the way.
As long as Kangxi is not around, the imperial concubine will let Li Xi sit down and eat together.
At this time, Yinyou was very happy, and would take the initiative to bring food and soup to Aunt Xi, which was called hospitality.
"This dress is a bit short, I'll make another one for you."
Li Xi withdrew his thoughts, afraid that if he thought about it again, he would cry again.
"No need," Yinyou pulled down his sleeves, "You should do it for yourself..."
Speaking of this, he suddenly got stuck and thought for a long time before he remembered: "Make yourself a wedding dress."
Li Xi put the dirty clothes he changed into a basket: "I won't do it."
"Then let Ziqing do it for you."
Li Xi couldn't help blushing again: "Go and wash your hands, I'll ask someone to bring in the snacks."
Whenever it was time to go to bed at night, Yinyou went to bed early and lay down.In the past, the imperial concubine would tell him bedtime stories.
In the past few days, the little guy didn't even want Erniang, so he picked a book from the bookshelf, brought it over, and asked Li Xi to read it to him.
Hearing this, the little guy fell asleep, and when he fell asleep, he was still holding Li Xi's clothes, preventing her from leaving.
When you wake up in the morning, you must see Aunt Xi when you open your eyes, otherwise you will sit on the bed and yell relentlessly.
Finally, half a month later, it was time for Li Xi to leave the palace.
The first night, she silently packed her things.Take a stack of papers from the bottom shelf of the bookshelf.
Those were the calligraphy practiced by Yinyou at various stages, and she couldn't bear to lose them, so she arranged them in order according to the time, and kept them pile by pile.
He took out a sheet from each stack, representing different periods of Yinyou's writing, and then brought it to the imperial concubine, and asked, "Your Majesty, can this servant take these as a souvenir?"
The imperial concubine nodded: "You take it."
She beckoned again, and Bai Lu brought over a wooden box, opened it and put it on the table: "These are from your mother, they are all gold hairpin jewelry."
Li Xi took a look into the wooden box, there were a lot of things, and all of them were treasures that could not be seen outside the palace.
Bai Lu took out another handkerchief and stuffed it into her hand: "This is given to you by some of our sisters, please keep it in mind."
Yinyou stood behind them, watching them exchange gifts.Suddenly he walked up to Li Xi, pulled something from his belt and stuffed it into Li Xi's hand: "Aunt Xi, this is for you."
Li Xi looked down and saw that it was a safety buckle made of warm jade, which was given to Yinyou by Tong Guowei on his birthday one year.Every year after Bailu, the weather gradually turns cold, and the imperial concubine will take it out for him to wear.
"Brother, this is not acceptable." Li Xi quickly squatted down, trying to put the jade pendant on him again.
The little guy dodged and hid behind Eniang: "Hold it, and when you see it in the future, you will be able to think of me."
This piece of jade is very valuable, the imperial concubine saw Li Xi's hesitation, and said with a smile: "Since he gave it to you, you can take it."
After finishing speaking, the imperial concubine took Bai Lu and pushed it out.Save the last night for your son, let him say goodbye to Aunt Xi.
In the evening, Li Xi put Yinyou to sleep first, then sat down at the table lightly, and took something from his neck. It was a jade pendant strung on a red silk rope, a Guanyin carved from clear jadeite, and the eyebrows and eyes between the square inches were very small. lifelike.
She took off the red string on the top, took the red silk thread and spun a new one.
Early the next morning, Yinyou got up, Li Xi dressed him, took out the Jade Guanyin, hung it around Yinyou's neck, and adjusted the length of the rope for him.
"My mother gave it to me before entering the palace. Although it may not exist in the palace, it is also my heart. You wear it and let it accompany you instead of me."
Yinyou touched the Jade Avalokitesvara, which was smooth and delicate, with the unique icy and cool touch of jadeite.
Today Li Xi has been sending Yinyou to the corner gate leading to Qianqing Palace. The two of them have also discussed that the little guy will rush back to see her off after school in the afternoon.
But today, the instructor who taught riding and archery was ignorant. Everyone had to do the movements again, and they were not allowed to dismiss the get out of class until they met the standard.
So, it was a bit late when school was over.
Yinyou rode Ta Ri all the way back to Chengqian Palace, Sun Nanny told him that Li Xi had already left, and Shenwu Gate would be closed later, so she couldn't get out.
Yinyou didn't even enter the gate of Chengqian Palace, he clamped Ta Ri's belly tightly, and walked all the way to the imperial garden along the road in Dongtong.
The imperial concubine heard the movement, and hurriedly chased him out, only to see his figure on the horse, Zhao Cheng and a few eunuchs hurried behind, shouting anxiously: "Seventh elder brother, please slow down!" , don't fall."
The imperial concubine was worried about her son, so she could only follow along.
When Li Xi came to Shenwu Gate, Li Xu and Cao Yin were already waiting outside the gate.All her things have been loaded into the carriage, as long as people go out, they can go in the carriage.
Li Xu didn't see his younger sister very often, so he was quite excited when he saw her, and he kept waving at her outside the Shenwu Gate: "Here, your brother is here, come out!"
Li Xi glanced at him, but squatted on the spot without moving.
She turned her head and kept looking east.But there was nothing there except a few eunuchs doing odd jobs.
The guard on duty at the palace gate also urged: "Hurry up, you won't be able to leave as soon as the palace gate is closed."
Just as Li Xi was about to move, there was the sound of horseshoes coming from far and near behind him.
Looking back, the little pony was indeed carrying that little figure on its back.
Yinyou came to Shenwu Gate, reined in the reins, and told Ta Ri to stop.
His pony has not yet stood still, and the man can't wait to jump off the horse.
Not to mention Li Xi's dismounting posture, even Cao Yin, who was standing outside the Shenwu Gate, was terrified and almost flew in to catch him.
At this time, Li Xi had already run over and squatted in front of Yinyou.Although he was smiling, his voice was crying: "What are you doing running so fast, look at the sweat on your head, blow the wind carefully, and you will catch a cold again."
At this time, the imperial concubine also rushed over.The empress and princesses who were finishing swimming in the imperial garden planned to go back to the palace before it was dark, but when they saw her coming, they gathered around to say hello.
The imperial concubine waved her hand, her eyes kept on her son, but she didn't step forward to disturb him.
So, everyone gathered around her, quietly watching the two people in the distance.
The wind in the imperial garden was very strong, Li Xi had already changed into the maid's clothes, and her hair was combed like an ordinary woman.His forehead hair was blown by the wind, just blocking his eyes.
Yinyou stretched out his little hand, and gently smoothed the broken hair flying around for her, then wiped the tears from her face, smiled, and said, "I haven't said goodbye to you yet."
Li Xi couldn't bear it anymore, and hugged him tightly into his arms, crying so hard that he couldn't help himself.
The thought that had been suppressed by her came out without warning, and it became stronger and stronger.The words are stuck in the throat, and they may blurt out at any time regardless of reason.
Cao Yin walked up to the guard, bowed his head and said something to the guard.
Cao Zuoling has been a Luan Yiwei for ten years, and there is no celebrity around the emperor who doesn't know him, so naturally he has to accommodate his unfeeling invitation.
So, Cao Yin walked into the palace gate, came to Yinyou and Li Xi, and patted Li Xi's shoulder lightly.
Li Xi and Yinyou looked up at him at the same time, Cao Yin had a slight smile on his face, and when he restrained his cynicism, he seemed much warmer.
For some reason, Li Xi had known him for ten years, but he was not familiar with him, and he hadn't spoken a few words.But with just one look, Li Xi understood what he meant.
Yinyou pouted, pushed his hand away very unhappy, and said very bluntly: "Don't touch my Aunt Xi, she is not your daughter-in-law yet."
When Cao Yin heard this, he was taken aback for a moment, and then he felt a little bit of grievance, inexplicably giving birth to the illusion that his friends turned against each other.
Yinyou turned his head and said to Li Xi: "Don't worry, I will take good care of myself. When I grow up and can go out of the palace, I will visit you."
As he spoke, he took Li Xi's hand again, pulled her to stand up, walked to Cao Yin, took Cao Yin's hand with the other hand, and solemnly handed over his Aunt Xi to his good friend.
"Ziqing, I'm handing her over to you now. You have to take good care of her, protect her, and don't let her cry."
Cao Yin smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
The little guy turned his head to look at Li Xi again: "If he treats you badly, you can come to me. I will still take care of you when you get old, and keep what you say."
Li Xi was choked up and unable to speak. After living for more than 20 years, he found that none of his children were sensible.
At this time, the sun had already set on the eaves on the west side, and it was getting dark, and the closing time of Shenwumen could not be delayed any longer.
Cao Yin took Li Xi's hand: "Let's go."
Yinyou stood where he was, quietly watching them turn around and walk out of Shenwumen slowly.
Just when the palace gate was about to close, the little guy finally couldn't hold back and shouted towards Li Xi's back: "Aunt Xi, I will miss you!"
Seeing this scene, the people in the imperial garden who originally wanted to watch the excitement were all moved by it, and they all picked up handkerchiefs to wipe the tears from the corners of their eyes.
Who wouldn't want to have a son like Seventh Brother, he is so cute, so kind, so empathetic and righteous, no one would dislike him.
Seeing her son sad, the imperial concubine was also saddened to death, her son cried, and she cried too.
She wanted to step forward and give that little figure a hug, and she didn't want her son to stand there alone.
At this moment, there is another person beside Yinyou.
That person was half a head taller than Yinyou, wearing a light pink dress, with hairpins dotted on his hair, he was the fourth princess who was one year older than Yinyou.
The little girl raised her brother's face, and wiped away his tears with a handkerchief: "Why are you crying, this is a good thing."
Yinyou blinked his big eyes and looked at her blankly.
The fourth princess said again: "Anyway, the people in this palace either want to be empresses, or they want to get out of this palace gate. Aunt Xi got what she wanted. You should be happy for her."
The adults on the side looked at the two of them, and it was hard to believe that these words came from a seven or eight-year-old girl.
As the emperor's daughters, their fate was predetermined from the moment they were born.
When she was sixteen or seventeen years old, the imperial father bestowed the title of Princess Heshuo, and traveled a long way to marry to Mongolia, using their happiness to consolidate the rule of the Qing Dynasty over Mongolia.
Yinyou looked at the fourth sister in the twilight, and always felt that she was different from other brothers and sisters.
Because he had made enough psychological preparations, after Li Xi left, Yinyou's life remained the same without any impact.
Grandma Sun still took care of him with all her heart, and the imperial concubine assigned Bai Lu to his side to take care of his daily life.
On this day, Nan Huairen came to the South Study Room to teach Kangxi as usual.
He was old and still unable to walk, so he recommended his Belgian compatriot Anduo as his successor to Kangxi, and continued to teach mathematics and natural science for Kangxi.
Today is Nan Huairen's last class for Kangxi.Kangxi recalled that Yinyou was depressed recently because of Li Xi's going out of the palace. When he was young, he liked to listen to Nan Huairen talking about legends and fables from all over the world.
So, he specially sent someone to bring the little guy here, and asked him to accompany him to listen to Nan Huairen's lecture for the last time.
In this last class, Nan Huairen spoke in a rather illusory way, talking about cosmic playthings, philosophy and theology, which made Yinyou, a real little fairy, feel drowsy.
Finally, the class was over, and the little guy couldn't help stretching himself.Halfway through, he was glared at by Ama, and he locked his hand back embarrassingly.
Nan Huairen was about to stand up, bow to Kangxi and leave.Yinyou suddenly thought of something, stepped forward, and stopped him: "Master Nan, please stay!"
He helped Nan Huairen to sit down again, thought for a while and asked seriously: "I remember hearing you say that your temples, castles and palaces are all very tall and large."
Nan Huairen nodded, and said in Chinese with a distinct accent: "European buildings are generally tall and magnificent, mainly masonry structures, which are very different from the civil structures of the Qing Dynasty."
Yinyou asked: "We also use glutinous rice cakes... no, is it built with glutinous rice paste?"
Kangxi sat on the dragon chair, quietly listening to his son's questions.I don't know why he became interested in Western architecture again.
"No, no, no..." Nan Huairen shook his head, "Of course not using glutinous rice paste, glutinous rice paste is not durable, there are rich volcanic resources in Rome and Greece, people use volcanic ash and limestone to make cement and bricks Stone houses."
Hearing this, Kangxi couldn't help snorting coldly in his heart.The simple and crude construction method of building stones on top of each other is tall and magnificent when the building is high.The ingenuity and ingenuity of the civil architecture are beyond the comprehension of these Westerners.
Yinyou doesn't have as much inner activity as his Ama. When he heard a new term, he asked, "What is a volcano?"
Nan Huairen patiently explained to him again: "Brother Seven can just understand it as a mountain that erupts. And the fine debris brought out by the volcano when it erupts is volcanic ash."
Yinyou nodded: "Can this volcanic ash replace glutinous rice mortar?"
"More durable and corrosion-resistant than glutinous rice mortar."
Yinyou continued to ask: "Then do we have volcanoes and volcanic ash here?"
Nan Huairen shook his head and said with certainty, "Yes, but not many."
After Nan Huairen left, Kangxi laughed and teased his son: "You don't read well all day long, and you are always interested in these messy things."
The little guy ran up to him and waved at him: "No, Ama, I want to help you."
"Help me?" Although the son's words made Kangxi feel funny, but he was a little relieved. The little guy was not yet six years old, and he already knew that he wanted to share Ama's worries.
"Okay, tell me how you can help me."
Yinyou leaned on his dragon chair: "Look, they glued volcanic ash and sand and gravel to build a house. It can be built very high without collapsing. Then we can also use it to build a house."
Kangxi patted his head: "Why do we want to build such a tall house?"
Yinyou frowned: "Then let's not build a house, let's build something else?"
Kangxi's mood at this time was still that the old father had nothing to do to make the child happy, and asked him with a smile: "What's the cover?"
Yinyou said: "The embankment of the Yellow River."
"..."
The river engineering of the Yellow River has always been a heart problem of Kangxi. So much manpower and financial resources have been invested. Jin Fu, the governor of the river, has been stationed in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, trying to solve the local flood problem. The local people brought a lot of trouble.
Kangxi himself has read many books on river management. These ancient books have clear records on where and how to take soil.
But in the final analysis, these are raw soil, no matter how hard it is rammed, it cannot withstand the rushing water of the Yellow River.
As a plant gel, glutinous rice mortar can replace limestone and volcanic ash to play a gelling role. It is okay to build large buildings such as the Great Wall or fortresses, but it is not corrosion-resistant underwater and has little effect.
Yinyou put two small hands on Ama's arm and pushed it: "I read in the book that spring is the best season to build river embankments. Ama, you are sending people to find volcanic ash now. Isn't there such a big Qing Dynasty?" Is it a volcano? Find it and use it to build a river embankment."
Kangxi nodded his little nose: "The volcanic ash is not so easy to find, even if it is found, it is not so easy to transport it to the Yellow River."
Yinyou smiled and said, "Then find other soil to replace the volcanic ash."
Kangxi picked him up immediately: "Okay, let Ama worry about this matter, don't think about it, you should think about how to study hard."
Hearing the word reading, the little guy lowered his head involuntarily.
In a blink of an eye, it is the twelfth lunar month again, and the Laba season is also Yinyou's birthday.
As usual, the brothers have prepared various gifts for him.
On the day the little guy was six years old, something frightened him.
He was playing hide-and-seek with his brothers and sisters in the garden of the Compassionate Palace, covering his eyes with a handkerchief.
Originally, the fifth elder brother was blindfolded to arrest people, and he was about to grab the sixth elder brother. At this time, Yinyou ran out from the side, pushed his sixth elder brother away, and was caught by the fifth elder brother.
The fifth elder brother pulled, and tore off the handkerchief covering his eyes.When he saw it, he was quite disappointed: "I was going to arrest the sixth son, why did you escape, Xiao Qi?"
Yinyou pouted innocently: "Humph! The fifth brother said he wanted to arrest the sixth brother, but he grabbed me. Isn't he just bullying me because I have bad legs and can't run?"
Hearing these words, Fifth Prince frowned, raised his handkerchief again, and prepared to cover his eyes: "Then I'll do it again."
Yinyou immediately rushed forward to grab the handkerchief in his hand: "No need, no need, I'm not lazy, I should come if I lose."
At this time Yinzuo suddenly stood up and pulled the handkerchief from their hands: "I should have been arrested, but Xiao Qi stood in front of me, so I don't want others to help me." .”
All right, brother five doesn't want to rob him, but Yinyou can't rob him, so let him catch people, everyone hide quickly.
Yinyou ran and ran far away unconsciously. He walked around to the other side of the rockery alone. He didn't forget to look back at the situation here, but suddenly he tripped and fell down.
Everyone was on the other side, and no one noticed him.Children play games, run around, the ground is snowy and slippery, and wrestling is also common.
Yinyou supported the ground with his small hands, intending to stand up by himself, but there was something salty inside, and he spat on the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
The little guy sat on the ground, took a closer look, and found something in the blood foam he spit out.
Picking it up and examining it carefully, I found that it was his teeth.
The little guy used his tongue to scan the mouth indiscriminately, and he found a defect.
He suddenly sighed deeply, and couldn't help feeling sad.
"Xiaoqi, Xiaoqi!" Sixth Brother's voice came from not far away, "You ran so far, how can I catch you?"
Yinyou quickly raised his sleeves and wiped his mouth, put his teeth into the purse on his waist, then stood up and walked back.
After he walked in, Eighth Brother was the first to notice something was wrong: "Seventh Brother, what's wrong with you?"
The fifth elder brother and sixth elder brother also found him covered in mud and snow, looking a bit embarrassed.
Everyone hurried up and patted off the stains on his body in a hurry.
At this time, the fourth elder brother who stood by and watched them play games with cold eyes also ran over and asked nervously, "What's the matter?"
Yinyou wanted to grin and smile at him, but suddenly remembered that he had lost a tooth, so he closed his mouth and showed a half-smile expression: "It's okay, it's okay, I fell down."
The fourth elder brother asked again: "Where did you fall?"
Yinyou shook his head: "There was a lot of snow on the ground, and it didn't fall anywhere."
The fourth elder brother touched him up and down, and pinched his right leg emphatically: "Are you all right?"
Yinyou shook his head: "Really."
Therefore, Yinyou seemed preoccupied throughout the whole day, no matter who teased him, he kept a smile showing only four front teeth, as cute as a little rabbit.
When it was time to go to bed at night, Bai Lu prepared to rinse his mouth according to the imperial concubine's arrangement. The little guy took the green salt and water and cleaned it up by himself, without Bai Lu helping him.
Bai Lu only thought that it was because Li Xi was gone and he was not used to interacting with others, so she let it go and just waited silently by the side.
When sleeping at night, Yinyou took out his teeth and looked at them again and again.
In his impression, Mama Ukuma also lost a tooth, and the Empress Dowager explained to him with a smile that people lost their teeth when they were old and useless.
So, the little guy suddenly thought, is he also old and useless, so...
Thinking of this, he was a little scared, tossing and turning on the bed, thinking wildly.
What should I do if I get sick? Will I die? If I die, I won’t be able to see Mama Ukuma, Erniang and Ama.
Woooooo~ So sad!
Early the next morning, the imperial concubine found out that something was wrong with him.The thick dark circles under his eyes seemed to have been up all night, so he asked him, "Did you not sleep well last night?"
Yinyou nodded.
The imperial concubine asked again: "Is there something on your mind?"
Yinyou bit her lower lip: "Emiang, I want to tell you something."
Seeing him like this, the imperial concubine suddenly became nervous: "What's wrong?"
"I really want to be sick," he suddenly threw himself into Er Niang's arms, "If I die, you'd better have another baby. Although it's not as smart and cute as me, it's better than nothing."
The imperial concubine was frightened to death by him: "What's the matter, what's wrong with you, tell Er Niang."
The little guy stretched out his hand and spread his palms.
