It wasn't until Yinyou finished reciting that piece of scriptures that the imperial concubine walked over and handed him the sweet-scented osmanthus tea: "Drink your saliva first, your lips will split."
The little guy held the tea bowl and gurgled down it.
The Empress Dowager persuaded him: "Slow down, slow down, don't choke."
Yinyou ate a bowl of yogurt with enough ingredients just now, and now he drank a bowl of sweet-scented osmanthus tea, which can be regarded as supporting his belly and hiccupping.
The empress dowager's gaze never left him. She was serious and focused when she was studying, like a little boy, and she still had the childishness and innocence of a child when she ate and drank. No matter how she looked at her, she felt cute, and no matter how much she looked at her, she couldn't get enough of them.
The little guy touched his stomach, and then touched it again.It's probably really holding on.Pacing up and down the room.
Aunt Su Ma said: "Why don't you get some hawthorn to help you digest it?"
Kangxi waved his hand, and when his son walked up to him, he raised his hand and slapped his belly: "Don't eat, go out for a walk, move around."
During the few days of Chinese New Year, Kangxi would come to the Compassion Palace to stay for a long time every day.I heard Yinyou recite Buddhist scriptures to the Empress Dowager, and watched him copy Buddhist scriptures on paper.Finally, I don’t forget to comment on his writing, where it is well written, and where it needs to be improved.
When it comes to excitement, I will pick up a pen to demonstrate in person, and then let my son copy and write, and even hold his hand and practice calligraphy with him.
But the little guy didn't accept his favor, and said softly to the Empress Dowager: "Ama spends a long time in the Compassion Palace every day, which affects my speed of copying Buddhist scriptures."
The Empress Dowager couldn't straighten up laughing when she heard this, and said to Aunt Su Ma, "Look, look, the child has grown up, and he still thinks that Ama is in the way."
Aunt Su Ma also laughed at the side: "So, tomorrow, let's tell the emperor to let him go shopping elsewhere, and don't delay our seventh elder brother copying Buddhist scriptures."
The little guy immediately jumped up and waved his hands: "No, no! Ama is only happy when Ama is here."
The Empress Dowager took his little hand: "Mama Ukuma is happy to have you here."
The little guy laughed and his eyes bent into crescent moons in the sky: "Ama is here, so Aunt Ukuma is even happier."
Aunt Su Ma gave him the soft and glutinous golden jujube cake: "Our seventh brother's small mouth is as sweet as honey, and it can be sweet to people's hearts. Come and have a snack. "
The weather was good that day, it snowed heavily for several days, it was considered to be seeing some sunshine, the imperial concubine took Yinyou to play in the imperial garden.
As long as the weather is good, the Imperial Garden is very lively.Especially after heavy snowfall, the ground is covered with thick snow, which creaks when stepped on, which can make snowmen and snowball fights.
When Yinyou arrived, several brothers and sisters had already started playing.The little guy couldn't wait to rush over. Because he ran too fast and had too much inertia, he plunged into the snowdrift and crashed a big snowman they had finally piled up.
"It's you again, Xiaoqi. Why do you always sabotage?"
The fourth princess stood aside, with her waist thrust up, she squeezed a snowball in her hand, and couldn't help but slammed it at her brother's round buttocks.
The fifth elder brother ran over excitedly from a distance, holding a carrot in his hand, which was intended to be used as a nose for the snowman, but when he got closer, the snowman had been knocked beyond recognition by Yinyou, and only half of it was left body.
"Hey!" He shoved the carrot into his arms, "I can only take it back to Ningshou Palace to feed the rabbits."
Brother Nine and Brother Ten saw Brother Seven lying motionless in the snowdrift, so they held snow in their little hands and sprinkled it on Yinyou's body.
The fifth princess is about to turn four years old, she has already grown very tall, and she can speak very neatly, so she stamped her feet anxiously: "What should I do?"
Fifth elder brother said: "How about we build another snowman?"
Sixth elder brother sat down on the flower bed and waved his hands: "You guys pile it up, I'm too tired, I need to rest for a while."
The fifth elder brother rolled his eyes at him: "You are like made of dough, you will be tired every time you move."
He not only complains of being tired at every turn, but also gets sick at every turn.He pretended to cough twice, but the fifth elder brother was terrified: "Okay, okay, you rest, don't move, don't move."
They talked for a while, only to find that Yinyou was still lying motionless in the snowdrift, and the ignorant bastards of Lao Jiu and Lao Shi were about to make Seventh Brother into a snowman.
Brother Ba rushed over, grabbed Yinyou's arm, and dragged him out with all his strength, trying to pull him up.
But Yinyou still lay there motionless, Yinhu became anxious now, kneeling beside him, shaking his body constantly: "Seventh Brother, Seventh Brother! Are you okay, don't scare me!"
It was his exclamation that made the people around him realize that something was wrong. Yinyou seemed to have been lying there motionless for a long time, so maybe there was something wrong with his fall.
Elder Brother Six didn't rest anymore, and hurried over and lay down in front of Yinyou: "Xiaoqi, Xiaoqi, Xiaoqi, what's wrong with you?"
One in each hand, the fifth elder brother dragged the nine and tenth elder brothers to the side and put them away, then knelt down and brushed the snow off Yinyou's body.
Everyone frantically surrounded him for a long time, and finally heard Yinyou muffled: "My leg..."
"Leg, what's the matter with the leg?" Sixth Brother hurriedly touched his leg: "Did you fall down? Get up quickly and let Sixth Brother take a look."
At this time, the fourth princess also came over, went to break his shoulders, and wanted to turn him over: "Oh, my fourth sister was teasing you, where did you fall? Are your legs uncomfortable? Doctor, is your head all right? Hurry up!" According to the imperial physician..."
The ladies are sitting in the pavilion chatting, saying that the twelfth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother are almost one year old, and there is no good news from any empress in the palace. I don’t know who will give birth to a prince or princess for the emperor next. Who will be the lucky one?
The fourth princess called Chuan Tai Physician, which attracted the attention of the adults next to her.The imperial concubine turned her head to take a look.I saw my son lying on the snow and hadn't stood up yet.
He began to think that the little guy was joking with his brothers and sisters, so he ignored him. He didn't expect that he had been lying on the ground for a long time, so he really fell.
But if it really hurt from the fall, Yinyou would have burst into tears with his squeamish temperament.
Just as the imperial concubine was about to come out of the pavilion, she saw her son turn over deftly, grab a handful of snow on the ground and sprinkle it on the face of the fourth princess.
Seeing this scene, the imperial concubine involuntarily closed her eyes.A group of children over there got into a fight, and they were all pinching snowballs and throwing snowballs at each other.
Everyone was in a scuffle, and it was hard to tell who was in the same group. Anyway, after pinching the snowball, it was enough to see someone smash it.
The laughter of the children came over, and the ladies were relieved.
In order to help the fourth princess, the fifth elder brother picked up a snowball and threw it at Yinyou.The eighth elder brother rushed forward to help the seventh elder brother to block, the sixth elder brother dragged the fifth elder brother down, and the two wrestled in the snowdrift.Nine elder brothers and ten elder brothers also gathered around to join in the fun. In the chaos, Yinyou saw the back of the fourth princess walking away.
As soon as the little guy turned over and stood up, before he could shake off the snow from his body, he quickly chased after him and grabbed the fourth princess's hand: "Fourth sister, fourth sister~~"
The fourth princess threw him away, clutching the handkerchief with the other hand, covering her eyes, and continued walking forward without saying a word.
Yinyou stopped her and refused to let her go: "What's wrong with your eyes? Let me see."
He refused to let him go, but the fourth princess turned her body aside and ignored him.
Yinyou was in a hurry, and wiped her face with his hand.But his hand was pinching the snowball for a long time, and now it was icy cold, and as soon as he touched the face of the fourth princess, he ran away.
The little guy became even more anxious: "My good sister, tell me something, if sand flew into your eyes, I'll blow it for you."
He is not as tall as the fourth princess, so if he wants to blow his eyes, he has to put his feet up, puff his cheeks, and try his best to blow air towards the eyes of the fourth princess.
The fourth princess finally couldn't hold back anymore, she burst out laughing with a "puchi", and gently pushed his chest: "Okay, okay, you are allowed to pretend to be sick to scare me, and I am not allowed to scare you too."
"Hey~" Yinyou showed a smirk, bent down and rubbed his knee, "I didn't pretend, it really hurts."
"You deserve it!" Although the fourth princess said that he "served it", she knelt down and touched his knee, "Does it still hurt now?"
The little guy shook his head: "It doesn't hurt anymore."
Over there, the fifth elder brother and the sixth elder brother are still rolling in the snow, and the eighth elder brother is watching the battle with his two younger brothers.
On the other side, the elder brother, the prince, the third elder brother and the fourth elder brother came from the other side.Yinyou's eyes lit up, and he hurried over: "Where did you go?"
The prince patted his head: "Ama Khan said that the weather is fine today, so he took us to Jingshan to practice riding and archery, and then we came back."
The little guy pouted: "Then why don't you take us there?"
The eldest brother looked at him with a half-smile: "Probably because you are afraid that your stomach will stick to the ground when you go up the mountain."
As soon as he said this, the brothers who surrounded him all laughed.
The third elder brother suddenly said: "Xiao Qi, I have a gadget here, do you want it?"
Yinyou asked: "What?"
"Don't worry about anything, just say whether you want it or not?"
"Yes!" The little guy gritted his teeth, he didn't care about anything, he wanted to come over first.
"Then let's play a game. If you guessed it right, I'll give it to you."
Yinyou nodded: "OK!"
The third elder brother came to the snowdrift, then pinched three snowballs and put them on the ground, and said to Yinyou: "The little thing I want to give you is hidden in one of these three snowballs, you choose , choose the right one, it’s yours.”
The children formed a circle, the elder brother, the prince and the fourth elder brother stood silently aside, while the other younger ones stood in front of Yinyou and chatted, helping him with advice.
Brother Fifth said: "Choose the one in the middle, the one in the middle looks bigger."
Brother Six said, "Choose the one on the right, the one on the right was made by the third brother first."
The fifth princess took his hand: "Brother Seven, choose the one on the left, the round one on the left is really beautiful."
The eighth elder brother stood close to Yinyou and didn't speak.
Yinyou looked at the fourth princess: "Fourth sister, which one do you choose?"
The fourth princess replied without thinking: "It's all the same."
Everyone rushed to give Yinyou ideas, and finally the little guy chose to listen to the fifth sister, and chose the one on the far left.
As he spoke, Yinyou reached out to take the snowball he had chosen.While everyone was waiting to see if he chose the right one, the third elder brother stopped his hand and smashed the snowball on the far side. It was empty and contained nothing.
The imperial concubine stood at the railing of the pavilion, looking down at them.From hearing that the third elder brother asked Yinyou to choose one of the three snowballs, he knew that this was a probability calculation problem, and he thought that this was the result of studying mathematics for a few days in the South Study Room?
Now the little guy is in trouble again.The brothers were on the sidelines to advise him again, and the fifth elder brother said: "If it were me, I would not change it."
Brother Six said, "I won't change either."
Yinyou went to see Brother Ba: "What do you think?"
Brother Eight shook his head: "I don't know, Brother Seven, you decide."
"Don't change it, don't change it!" The fifth princess jumped up and down with her little hands up, "This snowball is the most beautiful, Brother Seven won't change it!"
The elder brother booed from the side: "To be a man is to stick to one's own choice."
The prince smiled and said nothing, looking at him very gently.
The fourth elder brother seems to be thinking about whether to change or not.
"Change! I'll change." After finishing speaking, Yinyou rushed forward without hesitation, as if he was afraid that his third brother would regret it, and smashed the snowball in the middle with one foot.
Then, he bent down and took out a crystal clear glazed bead from the snowdrift. It was a bit big, but it held a lot of weight in his hand. It turned out that this was the little thing the third brother was talking about.
This thing looks beautiful, and it's quite strange, but Brother Qi may not have it there, Yinyou is not very interested.But the fifth princess next to him seemed to like it very much, and kept pawing his hand to see it. He handed it to his younger sister casually, not forgetting to tell her: "Don't put it in your mouth!"
The imperial concubine smiled, the little guy has really grown up, and he already looks like an older brother.
The eighth elder brother held his hand all the time, with a look of admiration on his face: "Seventh brother, you are so amazing, how did you know that the third brother hid things in the snowball in the middle."
"I don't know," the little guy grinned silly, "I guess."
Brother Wu thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure out why. After hearing what he said, he patted his thigh: "I'll just say it, Xiaoqi must have guessed."
Brother Six interjected: "That's right, it's also possible that the thing is in the snowball that Xiao Qiyi picked at the beginning, it's just luck."
Brother San touched Yinyou's head and asked him: "Is that so?"
Yinyou nodded: "Yes."
After returning to the Compassionate Ning Palace, the Empress Dowager had already ordered the small kitchen to prepare snacks for him.Drink a bowl of hot Mongolian milk tea to warm up your body first, sit down and rest for a while, and wait for dinner.
At this time, the imperial concubine suddenly leaned over and asked him, "Baby, why did you choose to change to the middle one?"
The milk tea is a little hot, and Yinyou is blowing it into the bowl.The question suddenly thrown by the imperial concubine stunned the little guy: "Change? What for?"
"Snowball, when the third brother asked you to choose, they told you not to change. Why did you choose to change in the end?"
The little guy couldn't wait to pick up the bowl and took a sip. His little tongue was burning, and he quickly fanned his mouth with his hand: "Because I think the thing is in the snowball in the middle."
The imperial concubine became even more curious, leading him to tell the reason: "Why?"
"Because..." Yinyou stuck out his tongue to dissipate heat, looking as cute as a puppy.
The imperial concubine was not in a hurry, she waited patiently, and even brought over milk tea to cool him down.
"Because, I think the third brother must know which one is missing, so he destroyed the other one. He has already helped me eliminate one, and of course I will choose the remaining one."
Although the little guy couldn't express it very clearly, the imperial concubine was very familiar with his language habits, so she understood what he meant as soon as she heard it.
He doesn't understand how to calculate this probability, but he can analyze the core of the problem with his clever little brain.The most commendable thing is that the friends next to him told him not to change, but he insisted on making the final decision, which shows that he will not be easily influenced by others when making decisions, and he is a child with independent thinking ability .
The imperial concubine handed him the cold milk tea: "Drink slowly, don't worry."
Then, she took three teacups from the tea tray, and another pine nut, and repeated the question "The probability of each cup containing a pine nut is one-third."
Yinyou asked: "What is one-third?"
"It is to divide a thing into three parts, and one part is called one-third."
Seeing his son's eyes turn from confusion to clarity, he knew he understood the question, and then, the imperial concubine went on to say: "If you choose one of them, you have chosen one-third of the chance, and the remaining two, third brother If you rule out one for you, does the other have a two-thirds chance?"
Hearing the last sentence, the little guy nodded in agreement: "Yes, that's what I meant. So, I chose to change."
"So, this is mathematics, is it interesting?"
"interesting."
The imperial concubine asked him: "Does the baby want to learn?"
"Not learn."
"..."
The Empress Dowager sat on the kang beside her, and she couldn't close her eyes when she heard the last conversation between the two of them: "We Xiaoqi is still young, so we must learn, and we will learn slowly in the future."
"Yes, learn slowly." The little guy drank the milk tea in one gulp, and handed the bowl to the maid at the side, "I want another bowl."
The imperial concubine waved her hand at the maid, and she stepped back: "No more."
"some!"
"It's time for dinner soon, and you won't be able to eat if you drink too much."
Hearing that dinner was served, the little guy obediently put down the bowl.
The weather stopped for one day, and the next day it began to snow again, falling piece by piece, and the ground was soon covered with a thick layer.
Yinyou wanted to go out to play, but it was too cold outside, so the little guy could only be locked in the palace.
Either help Mama Ukuma to copy the scriptures, or play with the toys he played with when he was a child.
Finally he was really bored, and while everyone was not paying attention, he started to dismantle the Western clock in the empress dowager's bedroom.
"..."
Aunt Su Ma looked at the parts on the ground and sighed: "Brother Qi, if the emperor finds out about this, your little butt will be beaten again."
The little guy didn't even raise his head: "With Mama Ukuma here, Ama won't beat me up."
This time, even the Empress Dowager didn't protect him: "Oh, I don't care, if you let Ama beat you up, you will have a long memory."
Yinyou raised his head: "Are you really willing to let Ama beat me?"
"Willing! He is willing to beat his own son, why am I reluctant?"
Yinyou looked at the things in his hand. In fact, he only dismantled half of them. Some places were fixed with tiny screws, and he couldn't dismantle them even if he wanted to.
So, he fiddled again and again, and put back the ones that had been removed.The Western clock was not affected in the slightest, it could continue to run after it was wound up.
Aunt Su Ma saw it fresh: "Oh! Take a look, old ancestor, our seventh elder brother is very good, even this Western clock can be repaired."
Yinyou laughed twice: "Small meaning, small meaning!"
He has disassembled a lot of wind-up toys, and he has gained experience in dismantling them.However, the little guy still has a lot to say. He thinks it would be more interesting if he can take this thing apart completely and put it back together again.
Another day of snow fell that day, the little guy stood guard at the entrance of the main hall, opened a corner of the curtain and looked out.The cold air hit his face, making him shiver.
The little guy sighed, it was getting dark, and he couldn't go out again today.
"Seventh elder brother don't look, it's cold outside, just stay indoors." The maid came in from outside and handed him a heater.
Holding the heater in his hands, Yinyou rolled around on the ground. He didn't know what cleverness he used. He rolled out not far and then rolled back. The little guy made himself laugh out loud.
The lady-in-waiting picked up the stove from the ground, and the satin cover on the outside was now covered with a layer of dust, which couldn't be removed no matter how much she patted.
The maid looked at the little master, then at the stove, sighed helplessly, and had no choice but to change it by herself.
The little guy followed behind and asked her, "Aunt Yun, are you angry?"
This court lady also served in front of the Empress Dowager for a period of time, and she was quite familiar with Seventh Brother, so she said a little unhappy: "I don't dare."
"Then just bear with it."
"..."
Yinyou went to the desk and spread out the paper, but it was not easy to ask Lagu Su Ma to grind ink for him.So he walked up to Bi Yun who was taking care of the plum vase: "Aunt Yun, it was my fault just now, don't be angry."
The master suddenly came over to admit his mistake, but Biyun was taken aback, and quickly put down the work in hand, squatting down: "Seventh brother, don't say that, you are the master, everything is right."
Yinyou asked: "Then you are not angry?"
"I am not angry."
"That's good," Yinyou pulled her to the study, "Come and help me grind ink."
The empress dowager was still sitting on the other side, and she couldn't help but smile when she heard their conversation. The little guy made such a big detour just because he wanted someone to grind ink for him.
Yinyou picked up the pen, but didn't know what to write.It suddenly occurred to me that the Empress Dowager always mentioned the Horqin Prairie.
Although he has never been to the Horqin Grassland, he has been to the Mongolian Grassland and can imagine what it looks like there.
So, he picked up a pen and wrote on the paper: "Chilechuan, under the Yin Mountain. The sky is like a dome, covering the four fields. The sky is blue and the fields are vast. When the wind blows and the grass looks low, you can see cattle and sheep."
Before the ink was dry, the little guy hurriedly took it to the Empress Dowager to "present the treasure": Mama Ukuma, look. "
The Empress Dowager looked around for her reading glasses, Yinyou smiled and said, "I can read the big characters I wrote clearly."
He asked, "Is this Chilechuan also in Mongolia?"
The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "Yes, you have been there."
The little guy tilted his head and thought for a while: "I don't remember."
At this time, someone came in from outside and spread the word, saying that Qianqing Palace sent a consultant to come over, saying that the emperor asked Seventh Brother to go there.
The Empress Dowager looked at the sky outside, it was already late, and it was still snowing, she was a little worried: "What did the emperor ask him to do?"
The consultant replied: "Back to the Empress Dowager, the slaves don't know, the emperor must miss Seventh Elder Brother."
Yinyou hadn't been outside the door of the Palace of Compassion and Ning for several days, and now he was thinking of going out for a walk, and said beside him: "Yes, yes, I miss my Ama too."
The empress dowager saw his thoughts at a glance: "Didn't you just meet Ama this morning?"
"But now I miss him again."
The little boy's heart has already flown away, so there is no way he can stay.The Empress Dowager waved her hand and asked the two maids to come over: "Take him in and change."
After a while, the little guy couldn't wait to run out from inside, wearing a thick mink hat on his head, a stone blue satin jacket, a mink vest, a cloak on the outside, and a collar at the collar. A circle of white rabbit fur makes his thick lips and teeth white, that is a beauty.
When Yinyou came to Qianqing Palace, Kangxi was studying in Hongde Palace. When he saw him coming, he first squeezed his little arm: "The clothes are thick enough."
"Aunt Ukuma said it was cold outside, she was afraid that I would catch a cold, so she asked me to wear more clothes."
After speaking, Yinyou raised his head to look at Ama, and then jumped up happily: "Ama, Ama, are we going out of the palace?"
"Who said you're going out of the palace?"
Yinyou pulled his clothes: "You don't usually wear this in the palace, you only wear it when you go out of the palace."
Kangxi usually wears bright yellow uniforms in the palace, and when he leaves the palace, he will change into casual clothes that are convenient for riding horses. Unexpectedly, the little boy will notice all this.
"Yes, Amma is going to take you to a place, but you can't tell others about it."
The little guy blinked: "Mama Ukuma can't say that too?"
"Especially don't tell Mama Ukuma."
"Okay, okay," the little guy held Ama's hand, "I promise not to say anything."
Usually, if he wanted to go out of the palace with Kangxi, he would have to fight Ama for wits and courage. Unexpectedly, Ama would take the initiative to take him out of the palace today.
As soon as he reached the gate of the Hongde Hall, the little guy hesitated again: "But, if I don't go back later, Mama Ukuma will send someone to look for me. Isn't this just a fraud?"
Kangxi looked down at him, the little guy's expression was very tangled: "I don't want to deceive Mama Ukuma."
Kangxi let go of his hand: "Then don't go."
After speaking, he strode out.The little guy hurried to catch up with him and took his hand: "No, no, I'm going, Ama, you can't leave me..."
When the father and son got into the carriage, the sky had already begun to darken.The two of them got into the carriage, and the charcoal stove was burning inside, which was very warm.
This is the least crowded time for the little guy to go out with Ama.There were only two carriages, and a few guards and eunuchs, and there was no grand guard of honor and ministers of civil and military affairs around Kangxi.
The carriage had to run for a while before leaving the palace before it could get out of the Forbidden City.Then, there is the lively street.
Now is the busiest time for the night market, and it is also during the Chinese New Year, the streets are crowded with people, all kinds of snacks, and a variety of goods, it is called a bustling scene.
The little guy opened a corner of the curtain, looked out, and saw everything that was very novel, and wanted everything.
In the end, Kangxi asked the eunuch to buy him a lantern and brought it in. The little guy held and played with it for a long time, and he liked it so much that he couldn't bear to let go after playing with it for a long time.
Unknowingly, the carriage drove into an alley and stopped in front of a house.
A eunuch knocked on the door, and Kangxi couldn't wait for his master to come out to pick him up, so he got out of the carriage first, and carried his son down.
The last time Yinyou left the palace to go to someone else's house was in broad daylight, and he followed Ama and Er Niang to Tong Guowei's house for the funeral.The atmosphere was too solemn, even in the daytime, the little guy was a little scared, leaving some shadows.
Now it is night again, although there are two lanterns hanging in front of the door, but they are too high to see clearly, only the two closed doors can be seen slowly, and an old face is exposed inside, ready to receive Greetings.
Kangxi was about to put his son on the ground, but the little guy hugged his neck tightly, with his legs wrapped around his waist, and refused to let go no matter what he said.
He held his son in one hand and strode towards the door.
The emperor still needed some greetings when he was going out, so he directly said to the old man at the door: "Go and call your master, and say that his master is here."
Seeing their situation, the old man knew that they were not young, so he didn't dare to neglect them, so he hurried in to pass on a message to the housekeeper.
After a while, someone came out in a hurry.Jumping and running like a rabbit, Yinyou recognized a blurry shadow from afar: "Ziqing, it's Ziqing!"
Not only Cao Yin, but also his younger brother Cao Quan and several nephews came out to greet him and knelt down on the snow to greet the emperor.
Kangxi waved his hand: "Get up, I'm just here to drop by."
Knowing that this is Cao Yin's home, Yinyou gets off Ama with confidence.
Hearing that Cao Yin and Li Xi were married years ago, the little guy looked around for a long time but didn't see his Aunt Xi, so he was a little anxious.
The little guy didn't see anyone for a long time, only saw Cao Yan, took his hand and asked, "Where's my Aunt Xi?"
Cao Yan was still a little dazed: "I'm... staying with grandma inside."
Cao Yin walked up to Kangxi and asked him, "Why did you come out of the palace?"
"Come and see Grandma Sun."
Cao Yin asked again: "Did you have dinner?"
"not yet."
Isn't that a coincidence?Anyway, their house has just been prepared, and today the whole family is sitting around eating hot-boiled mutton.
As soon as Kangxi entered the room, Nanny Sun rushed up to greet him and saluted him. Kangxi held her up as soon as he stretched out his hand: "No need to be too polite, Mammy, I'm just bringing the child to drop by. You can do whatever you want."
It is said that everyone is free, but he is the emperor after all, who would dare to eat at the same table with him.The female relatives took their children and retreated to the backyard one after another, leaving only the two brothers Cao Yin, Cao Quan and Nanny Sun to accompany him to have this dinner.
The first time Yinyou stepped into the room, he saw Li Xi. No matter her clothes, makeup and hair accessories were very different from when she was in the palace.
After all, she came from the palace, and she is the head mother of the Cao family, so she is naturally much more decent in her dealings with others than Cao Quan's wife.
Kangxi deliberately kept her here, mainly to take care of Yinyou.
I haven't seen him for a few months, but the little guy didn't like seeing Aunt Xi at all. Li Xi squatted down to look at him, and he immediately jumped up and hugged her neck tightly: "Aunt Xi, I miss you so much. Did you think of me?"
Li Xi saw that he was more excited than him, just like seeing a child he had been parting from for a long time, a little speechless, so he just nodded.
Cao Yin smiled at the side: "Why don't you think about it, I miss you every day, just in the past few months, I have made several clothes for Seventh Brother."
The new daughter-in-law of other people's family will make clothes for baby dolls to prepare for the future.The new daughter-in-law of their family made clothes for six or seven-year-old children after she got married, all of which were made of the best fabrics.
Every day, I don't forget to ask my husband if he has been to Qianqing Palace, and if he has seen Brother Qi.
Cao Yin is not the bodyguard next to Kangxi now, even the emperor can't see him all the time, let alone Seventh Brother.
Li Xi held Yinyou's face and looked at it again and again: "Why does it seem to be a little thinner?"
"No," Yinyou comforted her, "my mother said, it's called whipping."
As soon as he said this, everyone in the room was amused by him.
The charcoal fire in the fire boiler has already been ignited, the soup base is also gurgling and steaming, and the fresh mutton is placed around the stove, which makes people appetite.
Yinyou followed Ama and sat at the table. The little guy had never seen such a strange-shaped stove. He looked and looked curiously, and even reached out to touch it.
Li Xi quickly grabbed his hand: "Brother, be careful it's hot! If you want to eat, this servant will hold it for you."
The little guy has never eaten hot-boiled mutton, and he didn't expect it to be so delicious.Thinly sliced mutton is soaked in the soup, picked up and dipped in a little sauce, and put in the mouth, it is delicious.
The little guy seemed to have opened the door to a new world. After eating a piece, he couldn't care less about reminiscing with Aunt Xi, and kept asking Li Xi to bring him food.
The descendant of the hunting nation is born to eat cattle, sheep and game. In his eyes, vegetables are like grass, which are used to feed rabbits.Anyway, Erniang wasn't around, so Ama didn't care about him, the little guy refused to eat a single vegetable leaf, and only cared about eating meat.
After a full meal, Kangxi had something serious to discuss with Cao Yin, so the two went to the study.Li Xi took Yinyou to stay in the warm flower hall.
The servant girl brought some snacks, Yinyou ate too much meat just now, and now he has no appetite for anything.Li Xi asked someone to make him a cup of hawthorn water to digest.
As he said that, he asked the servant girl to take out the clothes he made, and gesticulated on him one by one to see if they were too small.
"Not too small, I like these very much, and I can wear them in spring!"
Li Xi patted his head: "I'll do it for you if you like it."
The little guy waved his hand: "No, no, don't do it for me, do it for your little baby."
Li Xi turned her head away in embarrassment: "How can there be any baby?"
The little guy sat on the stool, his legs dangling: "It will be there in the future."
Over there, Kangxi finished discussing business with Cao Yin in the study, and was about to leave.Li Xi took Yinyou out, just as Cao Yin also came out of the house with Kangxi.
"Since we are going to make this thing, we have to do it better than others and achieve the ultimate. The garden has been built, and I plan to live there for a while after the year. We will discuss the specific shape of the thing at that time."
Cao Yin nodded: "Yes!"
The little guy held the tea bowl and gurgled down it.
The Empress Dowager persuaded him: "Slow down, slow down, don't choke."
Yinyou ate a bowl of yogurt with enough ingredients just now, and now he drank a bowl of sweet-scented osmanthus tea, which can be regarded as supporting his belly and hiccupping.
The empress dowager's gaze never left him. She was serious and focused when she was studying, like a little boy, and she still had the childishness and innocence of a child when she ate and drank. No matter how she looked at her, she felt cute, and no matter how much she looked at her, she couldn't get enough of them.
The little guy touched his stomach, and then touched it again.It's probably really holding on.Pacing up and down the room.
Aunt Su Ma said: "Why don't you get some hawthorn to help you digest it?"
Kangxi waved his hand, and when his son walked up to him, he raised his hand and slapped his belly: "Don't eat, go out for a walk, move around."
During the few days of Chinese New Year, Kangxi would come to the Compassion Palace to stay for a long time every day.I heard Yinyou recite Buddhist scriptures to the Empress Dowager, and watched him copy Buddhist scriptures on paper.Finally, I don’t forget to comment on his writing, where it is well written, and where it needs to be improved.
When it comes to excitement, I will pick up a pen to demonstrate in person, and then let my son copy and write, and even hold his hand and practice calligraphy with him.
But the little guy didn't accept his favor, and said softly to the Empress Dowager: "Ama spends a long time in the Compassion Palace every day, which affects my speed of copying Buddhist scriptures."
The Empress Dowager couldn't straighten up laughing when she heard this, and said to Aunt Su Ma, "Look, look, the child has grown up, and he still thinks that Ama is in the way."
Aunt Su Ma also laughed at the side: "So, tomorrow, let's tell the emperor to let him go shopping elsewhere, and don't delay our seventh elder brother copying Buddhist scriptures."
The little guy immediately jumped up and waved his hands: "No, no! Ama is only happy when Ama is here."
The Empress Dowager took his little hand: "Mama Ukuma is happy to have you here."
The little guy laughed and his eyes bent into crescent moons in the sky: "Ama is here, so Aunt Ukuma is even happier."
Aunt Su Ma gave him the soft and glutinous golden jujube cake: "Our seventh brother's small mouth is as sweet as honey, and it can be sweet to people's hearts. Come and have a snack. "
The weather was good that day, it snowed heavily for several days, it was considered to be seeing some sunshine, the imperial concubine took Yinyou to play in the imperial garden.
As long as the weather is good, the Imperial Garden is very lively.Especially after heavy snowfall, the ground is covered with thick snow, which creaks when stepped on, which can make snowmen and snowball fights.
When Yinyou arrived, several brothers and sisters had already started playing.The little guy couldn't wait to rush over. Because he ran too fast and had too much inertia, he plunged into the snowdrift and crashed a big snowman they had finally piled up.
"It's you again, Xiaoqi. Why do you always sabotage?"
The fourth princess stood aside, with her waist thrust up, she squeezed a snowball in her hand, and couldn't help but slammed it at her brother's round buttocks.
The fifth elder brother ran over excitedly from a distance, holding a carrot in his hand, which was intended to be used as a nose for the snowman, but when he got closer, the snowman had been knocked beyond recognition by Yinyou, and only half of it was left body.
"Hey!" He shoved the carrot into his arms, "I can only take it back to Ningshou Palace to feed the rabbits."
Brother Nine and Brother Ten saw Brother Seven lying motionless in the snowdrift, so they held snow in their little hands and sprinkled it on Yinyou's body.
The fifth princess is about to turn four years old, she has already grown very tall, and she can speak very neatly, so she stamped her feet anxiously: "What should I do?"
Fifth elder brother said: "How about we build another snowman?"
Sixth elder brother sat down on the flower bed and waved his hands: "You guys pile it up, I'm too tired, I need to rest for a while."
The fifth elder brother rolled his eyes at him: "You are like made of dough, you will be tired every time you move."
He not only complains of being tired at every turn, but also gets sick at every turn.He pretended to cough twice, but the fifth elder brother was terrified: "Okay, okay, you rest, don't move, don't move."
They talked for a while, only to find that Yinyou was still lying motionless in the snowdrift, and the ignorant bastards of Lao Jiu and Lao Shi were about to make Seventh Brother into a snowman.
Brother Ba rushed over, grabbed Yinyou's arm, and dragged him out with all his strength, trying to pull him up.
But Yinyou still lay there motionless, Yinhu became anxious now, kneeling beside him, shaking his body constantly: "Seventh Brother, Seventh Brother! Are you okay, don't scare me!"
It was his exclamation that made the people around him realize that something was wrong. Yinyou seemed to have been lying there motionless for a long time, so maybe there was something wrong with his fall.
Elder Brother Six didn't rest anymore, and hurried over and lay down in front of Yinyou: "Xiaoqi, Xiaoqi, Xiaoqi, what's wrong with you?"
One in each hand, the fifth elder brother dragged the nine and tenth elder brothers to the side and put them away, then knelt down and brushed the snow off Yinyou's body.
Everyone frantically surrounded him for a long time, and finally heard Yinyou muffled: "My leg..."
"Leg, what's the matter with the leg?" Sixth Brother hurriedly touched his leg: "Did you fall down? Get up quickly and let Sixth Brother take a look."
At this time, the fourth princess also came over, went to break his shoulders, and wanted to turn him over: "Oh, my fourth sister was teasing you, where did you fall? Are your legs uncomfortable? Doctor, is your head all right? Hurry up!" According to the imperial physician..."
The ladies are sitting in the pavilion chatting, saying that the twelfth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother are almost one year old, and there is no good news from any empress in the palace. I don’t know who will give birth to a prince or princess for the emperor next. Who will be the lucky one?
The fourth princess called Chuan Tai Physician, which attracted the attention of the adults next to her.The imperial concubine turned her head to take a look.I saw my son lying on the snow and hadn't stood up yet.
He began to think that the little guy was joking with his brothers and sisters, so he ignored him. He didn't expect that he had been lying on the ground for a long time, so he really fell.
But if it really hurt from the fall, Yinyou would have burst into tears with his squeamish temperament.
Just as the imperial concubine was about to come out of the pavilion, she saw her son turn over deftly, grab a handful of snow on the ground and sprinkle it on the face of the fourth princess.
Seeing this scene, the imperial concubine involuntarily closed her eyes.A group of children over there got into a fight, and they were all pinching snowballs and throwing snowballs at each other.
Everyone was in a scuffle, and it was hard to tell who was in the same group. Anyway, after pinching the snowball, it was enough to see someone smash it.
The laughter of the children came over, and the ladies were relieved.
In order to help the fourth princess, the fifth elder brother picked up a snowball and threw it at Yinyou.The eighth elder brother rushed forward to help the seventh elder brother to block, the sixth elder brother dragged the fifth elder brother down, and the two wrestled in the snowdrift.Nine elder brothers and ten elder brothers also gathered around to join in the fun. In the chaos, Yinyou saw the back of the fourth princess walking away.
As soon as the little guy turned over and stood up, before he could shake off the snow from his body, he quickly chased after him and grabbed the fourth princess's hand: "Fourth sister, fourth sister~~"
The fourth princess threw him away, clutching the handkerchief with the other hand, covering her eyes, and continued walking forward without saying a word.
Yinyou stopped her and refused to let her go: "What's wrong with your eyes? Let me see."
He refused to let him go, but the fourth princess turned her body aside and ignored him.
Yinyou was in a hurry, and wiped her face with his hand.But his hand was pinching the snowball for a long time, and now it was icy cold, and as soon as he touched the face of the fourth princess, he ran away.
The little guy became even more anxious: "My good sister, tell me something, if sand flew into your eyes, I'll blow it for you."
He is not as tall as the fourth princess, so if he wants to blow his eyes, he has to put his feet up, puff his cheeks, and try his best to blow air towards the eyes of the fourth princess.
The fourth princess finally couldn't hold back anymore, she burst out laughing with a "puchi", and gently pushed his chest: "Okay, okay, you are allowed to pretend to be sick to scare me, and I am not allowed to scare you too."
"Hey~" Yinyou showed a smirk, bent down and rubbed his knee, "I didn't pretend, it really hurts."
"You deserve it!" Although the fourth princess said that he "served it", she knelt down and touched his knee, "Does it still hurt now?"
The little guy shook his head: "It doesn't hurt anymore."
Over there, the fifth elder brother and the sixth elder brother are still rolling in the snow, and the eighth elder brother is watching the battle with his two younger brothers.
On the other side, the elder brother, the prince, the third elder brother and the fourth elder brother came from the other side.Yinyou's eyes lit up, and he hurried over: "Where did you go?"
The prince patted his head: "Ama Khan said that the weather is fine today, so he took us to Jingshan to practice riding and archery, and then we came back."
The little guy pouted: "Then why don't you take us there?"
The eldest brother looked at him with a half-smile: "Probably because you are afraid that your stomach will stick to the ground when you go up the mountain."
As soon as he said this, the brothers who surrounded him all laughed.
The third elder brother suddenly said: "Xiao Qi, I have a gadget here, do you want it?"
Yinyou asked: "What?"
"Don't worry about anything, just say whether you want it or not?"
"Yes!" The little guy gritted his teeth, he didn't care about anything, he wanted to come over first.
"Then let's play a game. If you guessed it right, I'll give it to you."
Yinyou nodded: "OK!"
The third elder brother came to the snowdrift, then pinched three snowballs and put them on the ground, and said to Yinyou: "The little thing I want to give you is hidden in one of these three snowballs, you choose , choose the right one, it’s yours.”
The children formed a circle, the elder brother, the prince and the fourth elder brother stood silently aside, while the other younger ones stood in front of Yinyou and chatted, helping him with advice.
Brother Fifth said: "Choose the one in the middle, the one in the middle looks bigger."
Brother Six said, "Choose the one on the right, the one on the right was made by the third brother first."
The fifth princess took his hand: "Brother Seven, choose the one on the left, the round one on the left is really beautiful."
The eighth elder brother stood close to Yinyou and didn't speak.
Yinyou looked at the fourth princess: "Fourth sister, which one do you choose?"
The fourth princess replied without thinking: "It's all the same."
Everyone rushed to give Yinyou ideas, and finally the little guy chose to listen to the fifth sister, and chose the one on the far left.
As he spoke, Yinyou reached out to take the snowball he had chosen.While everyone was waiting to see if he chose the right one, the third elder brother stopped his hand and smashed the snowball on the far side. It was empty and contained nothing.
The imperial concubine stood at the railing of the pavilion, looking down at them.From hearing that the third elder brother asked Yinyou to choose one of the three snowballs, he knew that this was a probability calculation problem, and he thought that this was the result of studying mathematics for a few days in the South Study Room?
Now the little guy is in trouble again.The brothers were on the sidelines to advise him again, and the fifth elder brother said: "If it were me, I would not change it."
Brother Six said, "I won't change either."
Yinyou went to see Brother Ba: "What do you think?"
Brother Eight shook his head: "I don't know, Brother Seven, you decide."
"Don't change it, don't change it!" The fifth princess jumped up and down with her little hands up, "This snowball is the most beautiful, Brother Seven won't change it!"
The elder brother booed from the side: "To be a man is to stick to one's own choice."
The prince smiled and said nothing, looking at him very gently.
The fourth elder brother seems to be thinking about whether to change or not.
"Change! I'll change." After finishing speaking, Yinyou rushed forward without hesitation, as if he was afraid that his third brother would regret it, and smashed the snowball in the middle with one foot.
Then, he bent down and took out a crystal clear glazed bead from the snowdrift. It was a bit big, but it held a lot of weight in his hand. It turned out that this was the little thing the third brother was talking about.
This thing looks beautiful, and it's quite strange, but Brother Qi may not have it there, Yinyou is not very interested.But the fifth princess next to him seemed to like it very much, and kept pawing his hand to see it. He handed it to his younger sister casually, not forgetting to tell her: "Don't put it in your mouth!"
The imperial concubine smiled, the little guy has really grown up, and he already looks like an older brother.
The eighth elder brother held his hand all the time, with a look of admiration on his face: "Seventh brother, you are so amazing, how did you know that the third brother hid things in the snowball in the middle."
"I don't know," the little guy grinned silly, "I guess."
Brother Wu thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure out why. After hearing what he said, he patted his thigh: "I'll just say it, Xiaoqi must have guessed."
Brother Six interjected: "That's right, it's also possible that the thing is in the snowball that Xiao Qiyi picked at the beginning, it's just luck."
Brother San touched Yinyou's head and asked him: "Is that so?"
Yinyou nodded: "Yes."
After returning to the Compassionate Ning Palace, the Empress Dowager had already ordered the small kitchen to prepare snacks for him.Drink a bowl of hot Mongolian milk tea to warm up your body first, sit down and rest for a while, and wait for dinner.
At this time, the imperial concubine suddenly leaned over and asked him, "Baby, why did you choose to change to the middle one?"
The milk tea is a little hot, and Yinyou is blowing it into the bowl.The question suddenly thrown by the imperial concubine stunned the little guy: "Change? What for?"
"Snowball, when the third brother asked you to choose, they told you not to change. Why did you choose to change in the end?"
The little guy couldn't wait to pick up the bowl and took a sip. His little tongue was burning, and he quickly fanned his mouth with his hand: "Because I think the thing is in the snowball in the middle."
The imperial concubine became even more curious, leading him to tell the reason: "Why?"
"Because..." Yinyou stuck out his tongue to dissipate heat, looking as cute as a puppy.
The imperial concubine was not in a hurry, she waited patiently, and even brought over milk tea to cool him down.
"Because, I think the third brother must know which one is missing, so he destroyed the other one. He has already helped me eliminate one, and of course I will choose the remaining one."
Although the little guy couldn't express it very clearly, the imperial concubine was very familiar with his language habits, so she understood what he meant as soon as she heard it.
He doesn't understand how to calculate this probability, but he can analyze the core of the problem with his clever little brain.The most commendable thing is that the friends next to him told him not to change, but he insisted on making the final decision, which shows that he will not be easily influenced by others when making decisions, and he is a child with independent thinking ability .
The imperial concubine handed him the cold milk tea: "Drink slowly, don't worry."
Then, she took three teacups from the tea tray, and another pine nut, and repeated the question "The probability of each cup containing a pine nut is one-third."
Yinyou asked: "What is one-third?"
"It is to divide a thing into three parts, and one part is called one-third."
Seeing his son's eyes turn from confusion to clarity, he knew he understood the question, and then, the imperial concubine went on to say: "If you choose one of them, you have chosen one-third of the chance, and the remaining two, third brother If you rule out one for you, does the other have a two-thirds chance?"
Hearing the last sentence, the little guy nodded in agreement: "Yes, that's what I meant. So, I chose to change."
"So, this is mathematics, is it interesting?"
"interesting."
The imperial concubine asked him: "Does the baby want to learn?"
"Not learn."
"..."
The Empress Dowager sat on the kang beside her, and she couldn't close her eyes when she heard the last conversation between the two of them: "We Xiaoqi is still young, so we must learn, and we will learn slowly in the future."
"Yes, learn slowly." The little guy drank the milk tea in one gulp, and handed the bowl to the maid at the side, "I want another bowl."
The imperial concubine waved her hand at the maid, and she stepped back: "No more."
"some!"
"It's time for dinner soon, and you won't be able to eat if you drink too much."
Hearing that dinner was served, the little guy obediently put down the bowl.
The weather stopped for one day, and the next day it began to snow again, falling piece by piece, and the ground was soon covered with a thick layer.
Yinyou wanted to go out to play, but it was too cold outside, so the little guy could only be locked in the palace.
Either help Mama Ukuma to copy the scriptures, or play with the toys he played with when he was a child.
Finally he was really bored, and while everyone was not paying attention, he started to dismantle the Western clock in the empress dowager's bedroom.
"..."
Aunt Su Ma looked at the parts on the ground and sighed: "Brother Qi, if the emperor finds out about this, your little butt will be beaten again."
The little guy didn't even raise his head: "With Mama Ukuma here, Ama won't beat me up."
This time, even the Empress Dowager didn't protect him: "Oh, I don't care, if you let Ama beat you up, you will have a long memory."
Yinyou raised his head: "Are you really willing to let Ama beat me?"
"Willing! He is willing to beat his own son, why am I reluctant?"
Yinyou looked at the things in his hand. In fact, he only dismantled half of them. Some places were fixed with tiny screws, and he couldn't dismantle them even if he wanted to.
So, he fiddled again and again, and put back the ones that had been removed.The Western clock was not affected in the slightest, it could continue to run after it was wound up.
Aunt Su Ma saw it fresh: "Oh! Take a look, old ancestor, our seventh elder brother is very good, even this Western clock can be repaired."
Yinyou laughed twice: "Small meaning, small meaning!"
He has disassembled a lot of wind-up toys, and he has gained experience in dismantling them.However, the little guy still has a lot to say. He thinks it would be more interesting if he can take this thing apart completely and put it back together again.
Another day of snow fell that day, the little guy stood guard at the entrance of the main hall, opened a corner of the curtain and looked out.The cold air hit his face, making him shiver.
The little guy sighed, it was getting dark, and he couldn't go out again today.
"Seventh elder brother don't look, it's cold outside, just stay indoors." The maid came in from outside and handed him a heater.
Holding the heater in his hands, Yinyou rolled around on the ground. He didn't know what cleverness he used. He rolled out not far and then rolled back. The little guy made himself laugh out loud.
The lady-in-waiting picked up the stove from the ground, and the satin cover on the outside was now covered with a layer of dust, which couldn't be removed no matter how much she patted.
The maid looked at the little master, then at the stove, sighed helplessly, and had no choice but to change it by herself.
The little guy followed behind and asked her, "Aunt Yun, are you angry?"
This court lady also served in front of the Empress Dowager for a period of time, and she was quite familiar with Seventh Brother, so she said a little unhappy: "I don't dare."
"Then just bear with it."
"..."
Yinyou went to the desk and spread out the paper, but it was not easy to ask Lagu Su Ma to grind ink for him.So he walked up to Bi Yun who was taking care of the plum vase: "Aunt Yun, it was my fault just now, don't be angry."
The master suddenly came over to admit his mistake, but Biyun was taken aback, and quickly put down the work in hand, squatting down: "Seventh brother, don't say that, you are the master, everything is right."
Yinyou asked: "Then you are not angry?"
"I am not angry."
"That's good," Yinyou pulled her to the study, "Come and help me grind ink."
The empress dowager was still sitting on the other side, and she couldn't help but smile when she heard their conversation. The little guy made such a big detour just because he wanted someone to grind ink for him.
Yinyou picked up the pen, but didn't know what to write.It suddenly occurred to me that the Empress Dowager always mentioned the Horqin Prairie.
Although he has never been to the Horqin Grassland, he has been to the Mongolian Grassland and can imagine what it looks like there.
So, he picked up a pen and wrote on the paper: "Chilechuan, under the Yin Mountain. The sky is like a dome, covering the four fields. The sky is blue and the fields are vast. When the wind blows and the grass looks low, you can see cattle and sheep."
Before the ink was dry, the little guy hurriedly took it to the Empress Dowager to "present the treasure": Mama Ukuma, look. "
The Empress Dowager looked around for her reading glasses, Yinyou smiled and said, "I can read the big characters I wrote clearly."
He asked, "Is this Chilechuan also in Mongolia?"
The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "Yes, you have been there."
The little guy tilted his head and thought for a while: "I don't remember."
At this time, someone came in from outside and spread the word, saying that Qianqing Palace sent a consultant to come over, saying that the emperor asked Seventh Brother to go there.
The Empress Dowager looked at the sky outside, it was already late, and it was still snowing, she was a little worried: "What did the emperor ask him to do?"
The consultant replied: "Back to the Empress Dowager, the slaves don't know, the emperor must miss Seventh Elder Brother."
Yinyou hadn't been outside the door of the Palace of Compassion and Ning for several days, and now he was thinking of going out for a walk, and said beside him: "Yes, yes, I miss my Ama too."
The empress dowager saw his thoughts at a glance: "Didn't you just meet Ama this morning?"
"But now I miss him again."
The little boy's heart has already flown away, so there is no way he can stay.The Empress Dowager waved her hand and asked the two maids to come over: "Take him in and change."
After a while, the little guy couldn't wait to run out from inside, wearing a thick mink hat on his head, a stone blue satin jacket, a mink vest, a cloak on the outside, and a collar at the collar. A circle of white rabbit fur makes his thick lips and teeth white, that is a beauty.
When Yinyou came to Qianqing Palace, Kangxi was studying in Hongde Palace. When he saw him coming, he first squeezed his little arm: "The clothes are thick enough."
"Aunt Ukuma said it was cold outside, she was afraid that I would catch a cold, so she asked me to wear more clothes."
After speaking, Yinyou raised his head to look at Ama, and then jumped up happily: "Ama, Ama, are we going out of the palace?"
"Who said you're going out of the palace?"
Yinyou pulled his clothes: "You don't usually wear this in the palace, you only wear it when you go out of the palace."
Kangxi usually wears bright yellow uniforms in the palace, and when he leaves the palace, he will change into casual clothes that are convenient for riding horses. Unexpectedly, the little boy will notice all this.
"Yes, Amma is going to take you to a place, but you can't tell others about it."
The little guy blinked: "Mama Ukuma can't say that too?"
"Especially don't tell Mama Ukuma."
"Okay, okay," the little guy held Ama's hand, "I promise not to say anything."
Usually, if he wanted to go out of the palace with Kangxi, he would have to fight Ama for wits and courage. Unexpectedly, Ama would take the initiative to take him out of the palace today.
As soon as he reached the gate of the Hongde Hall, the little guy hesitated again: "But, if I don't go back later, Mama Ukuma will send someone to look for me. Isn't this just a fraud?"
Kangxi looked down at him, the little guy's expression was very tangled: "I don't want to deceive Mama Ukuma."
Kangxi let go of his hand: "Then don't go."
After speaking, he strode out.The little guy hurried to catch up with him and took his hand: "No, no, I'm going, Ama, you can't leave me..."
When the father and son got into the carriage, the sky had already begun to darken.The two of them got into the carriage, and the charcoal stove was burning inside, which was very warm.
This is the least crowded time for the little guy to go out with Ama.There were only two carriages, and a few guards and eunuchs, and there was no grand guard of honor and ministers of civil and military affairs around Kangxi.
The carriage had to run for a while before leaving the palace before it could get out of the Forbidden City.Then, there is the lively street.
Now is the busiest time for the night market, and it is also during the Chinese New Year, the streets are crowded with people, all kinds of snacks, and a variety of goods, it is called a bustling scene.
The little guy opened a corner of the curtain, looked out, and saw everything that was very novel, and wanted everything.
In the end, Kangxi asked the eunuch to buy him a lantern and brought it in. The little guy held and played with it for a long time, and he liked it so much that he couldn't bear to let go after playing with it for a long time.
Unknowingly, the carriage drove into an alley and stopped in front of a house.
A eunuch knocked on the door, and Kangxi couldn't wait for his master to come out to pick him up, so he got out of the carriage first, and carried his son down.
The last time Yinyou left the palace to go to someone else's house was in broad daylight, and he followed Ama and Er Niang to Tong Guowei's house for the funeral.The atmosphere was too solemn, even in the daytime, the little guy was a little scared, leaving some shadows.
Now it is night again, although there are two lanterns hanging in front of the door, but they are too high to see clearly, only the two closed doors can be seen slowly, and an old face is exposed inside, ready to receive Greetings.
Kangxi was about to put his son on the ground, but the little guy hugged his neck tightly, with his legs wrapped around his waist, and refused to let go no matter what he said.
He held his son in one hand and strode towards the door.
The emperor still needed some greetings when he was going out, so he directly said to the old man at the door: "Go and call your master, and say that his master is here."
Seeing their situation, the old man knew that they were not young, so he didn't dare to neglect them, so he hurried in to pass on a message to the housekeeper.
After a while, someone came out in a hurry.Jumping and running like a rabbit, Yinyou recognized a blurry shadow from afar: "Ziqing, it's Ziqing!"
Not only Cao Yin, but also his younger brother Cao Quan and several nephews came out to greet him and knelt down on the snow to greet the emperor.
Kangxi waved his hand: "Get up, I'm just here to drop by."
Knowing that this is Cao Yin's home, Yinyou gets off Ama with confidence.
Hearing that Cao Yin and Li Xi were married years ago, the little guy looked around for a long time but didn't see his Aunt Xi, so he was a little anxious.
The little guy didn't see anyone for a long time, only saw Cao Yan, took his hand and asked, "Where's my Aunt Xi?"
Cao Yan was still a little dazed: "I'm... staying with grandma inside."
Cao Yin walked up to Kangxi and asked him, "Why did you come out of the palace?"
"Come and see Grandma Sun."
Cao Yin asked again: "Did you have dinner?"
"not yet."
Isn't that a coincidence?Anyway, their house has just been prepared, and today the whole family is sitting around eating hot-boiled mutton.
As soon as Kangxi entered the room, Nanny Sun rushed up to greet him and saluted him. Kangxi held her up as soon as he stretched out his hand: "No need to be too polite, Mammy, I'm just bringing the child to drop by. You can do whatever you want."
It is said that everyone is free, but he is the emperor after all, who would dare to eat at the same table with him.The female relatives took their children and retreated to the backyard one after another, leaving only the two brothers Cao Yin, Cao Quan and Nanny Sun to accompany him to have this dinner.
The first time Yinyou stepped into the room, he saw Li Xi. No matter her clothes, makeup and hair accessories were very different from when she was in the palace.
After all, she came from the palace, and she is the head mother of the Cao family, so she is naturally much more decent in her dealings with others than Cao Quan's wife.
Kangxi deliberately kept her here, mainly to take care of Yinyou.
I haven't seen him for a few months, but the little guy didn't like seeing Aunt Xi at all. Li Xi squatted down to look at him, and he immediately jumped up and hugged her neck tightly: "Aunt Xi, I miss you so much. Did you think of me?"
Li Xi saw that he was more excited than him, just like seeing a child he had been parting from for a long time, a little speechless, so he just nodded.
Cao Yin smiled at the side: "Why don't you think about it, I miss you every day, just in the past few months, I have made several clothes for Seventh Brother."
The new daughter-in-law of other people's family will make clothes for baby dolls to prepare for the future.The new daughter-in-law of their family made clothes for six or seven-year-old children after she got married, all of which were made of the best fabrics.
Every day, I don't forget to ask my husband if he has been to Qianqing Palace, and if he has seen Brother Qi.
Cao Yin is not the bodyguard next to Kangxi now, even the emperor can't see him all the time, let alone Seventh Brother.
Li Xi held Yinyou's face and looked at it again and again: "Why does it seem to be a little thinner?"
"No," Yinyou comforted her, "my mother said, it's called whipping."
As soon as he said this, everyone in the room was amused by him.
The charcoal fire in the fire boiler has already been ignited, the soup base is also gurgling and steaming, and the fresh mutton is placed around the stove, which makes people appetite.
Yinyou followed Ama and sat at the table. The little guy had never seen such a strange-shaped stove. He looked and looked curiously, and even reached out to touch it.
Li Xi quickly grabbed his hand: "Brother, be careful it's hot! If you want to eat, this servant will hold it for you."
The little guy has never eaten hot-boiled mutton, and he didn't expect it to be so delicious.Thinly sliced mutton is soaked in the soup, picked up and dipped in a little sauce, and put in the mouth, it is delicious.
The little guy seemed to have opened the door to a new world. After eating a piece, he couldn't care less about reminiscing with Aunt Xi, and kept asking Li Xi to bring him food.
The descendant of the hunting nation is born to eat cattle, sheep and game. In his eyes, vegetables are like grass, which are used to feed rabbits.Anyway, Erniang wasn't around, so Ama didn't care about him, the little guy refused to eat a single vegetable leaf, and only cared about eating meat.
After a full meal, Kangxi had something serious to discuss with Cao Yin, so the two went to the study.Li Xi took Yinyou to stay in the warm flower hall.
The servant girl brought some snacks, Yinyou ate too much meat just now, and now he has no appetite for anything.Li Xi asked someone to make him a cup of hawthorn water to digest.
As he said that, he asked the servant girl to take out the clothes he made, and gesticulated on him one by one to see if they were too small.
"Not too small, I like these very much, and I can wear them in spring!"
Li Xi patted his head: "I'll do it for you if you like it."
The little guy waved his hand: "No, no, don't do it for me, do it for your little baby."
Li Xi turned her head away in embarrassment: "How can there be any baby?"
The little guy sat on the stool, his legs dangling: "It will be there in the future."
Over there, Kangxi finished discussing business with Cao Yin in the study, and was about to leave.Li Xi took Yinyou out, just as Cao Yin also came out of the house with Kangxi.
"Since we are going to make this thing, we have to do it better than others and achieve the ultimate. The garden has been built, and I plan to live there for a while after the year. We will discuss the specific shape of the thing at that time."
Cao Yin nodded: "Yes!"
