Kangxi went there for two months, and when he came back, it was already the end of the year.
After returning to the palace, he was busy for a while. It was not until the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, when Kangxi burned incense in front of the Qianqing Gate and performed the great ceremony of "sealing the seal" and "sealing the pen", that he was free.
After having no need to continue to deal with the government affairs, with a lot of time, the time spent in the harem will be longer and longer. The relationship between the imperial concubine and Kangxi is not ordinary, let alone the little happiness of Chengqian Palace and Yinzuo The fruit is here, so Kangxi stayed most often at the imperial concubine's place.
It was snowing outside again, the north wind was blowing, Kangxi hugged Yinzuo, the father and son lay comfortably on the couch, one was drinking hot tea, the other was eating tea and snacks, for the new year, Yinzuo was finally allowed to Eat more sweets.
Yinzuo was knocking melon seeds, and there was a small porcelain plate in front of him, which was used to hold the melon seeds he had peeled. Be patient and fight with melon seed shells seriously.
It’s just that for some reason, today’s melon seeds are very slow to peel, and after a while there are still only a handful, not enough for a bite.
And Kangxi is playing chess with the imperial concubine.
"Your majesty, it's your turn." The imperial concubine was sure of winning this round, and her momentum was overwhelming.
Kangxi, who has been distracted to tease Yinzuo, "cough cough, Yinzuo."
"Huh? Huang Ama, you call me?" Yinzuo turned his head and looked at him puzzled.
"Go quickly to your empress's place and feed her a snack. Your empress must be hungry because she patronizes playing chess."
The imperial concubine glanced at him with a smile, knowing that he was deliberately asking Yin Zuo to delay time.
Yinzuo got up and ran over, threw himself into the arms of the imperial concubine, then picked up a piece of dim sum placed on the plate on the kang table, handed it to her mouth, and said with a smile: "Mother Huang Gui, eat dim sum~"
"Thank you Xiaoliu for the snacks." The imperial concubine opened her mouth after saying this.
From the corner of Yinzuo's eyes, he noticed that Huang Ama was picking up his small plate of melon seeds and pouring them into his own mouth!
"Huang! Ah! Ma!" Yinzuo stood up quickly and called out angrily.
The dim sum that Yin Zuo just fed was too big. The imperial concubine covered the lower half of her face with a veil, so as not to show an undignified posture. She only aimed her eyes at Kangxi on the opposite side. I plan to watch a good show.
Kangxi quickly put the plate back, but it didn't delay him chewing the melon seeds in his mouth. The crispy fragrance in his mouth really made people feel good.
"I just saw that you peeled it for a long time and didn't eat it yourself. I thought you wanted to show filial piety to me. I thought I couldn't live up to Xiao Liu's filial piety. Could it be that I misunderstood you?"
Kangxi was so thick-skinned that even the imperial concubine who was sitting across from him could hardly stand it anymore.
Yin Zuo looked at the empty plate aggrievedly, then at Huang Ama.
Guaziren is gone, if he tells the truth, maybe Huang Ama will be sad, Yinzuo is a kind and filial boy after all.
Wiping his tears, he said softly: "...There is no misunderstanding, it's just...it's for Huang Ama...Wow~"
The more Yin Zuo talked, the more sad he turned and threw himself into Huang Gui's mother's arms, tears falling from his eyes.
The imperial concubine glanced unhappily at Kangxi who was grabbing food with the child, and quickly patted Xiao Liu on the back and coaxed him softly.
"Okay, okay, don't be sad, can Huang Guieriang peel melon seeds for Xiao Liu?"
While sobbing, Yin Zuo whispered back a word "um".
After all, it was Kangxi himself who made the little guy cry. Looking at his aggrieved and sensible appearance, he felt a little sorry in the end, so he couldn't care less about playing chess, and together with the imperial concubine, he peeled the little guy's melon seeds.
It is naturally faster for two adults to concentrate on one thing than for a child, but within a quarter of an hour, a handful of melon seeds have accumulated in the small plate.
"Look, Xiaoliu, I ate your melon seeds just now, and I'll pay you back now, so don't cry anymore." Kangxi took the initiative to pick up the small plate and placed it on the table closest to Yinzuo.
When Yinzuo heard the words, he turned his head and took a look quietly. It was really similar to the amount of melon seeds he had just accumulated, and finally he was no longer sad.
"Hurry up and eat." The imperial concubine adjusted his posture for him to face the kang table so that he could eat more conveniently.
Yinzuo put his two small arms on the kang table, holding the small plate containing melon seeds, then lowered his whole little head, buried his whole face in the plate, and finally opened his small mouth to go Eat the melon seeds in that little dish.
When he raised his head, his cheeks were puffed out, like a little squirrel hiding winter food in its mouth.
Kangxi finally breathed a sigh of relief seeing that he finally burst into laughter. If the little guy went to complain to the Empress Dowager or Concubine De and spread the matter, then he really couldn't hold back his face. It's just fun, and it would be a bit shameful to spread it out.
"So, Xiao Liu won't blame me for accidentally eating your melon seeds, right?"
Yin Zuo chewed the melon seeds in his mouth, but his two smart eyes were rolling around, as if he was thinking of something.
After a while, after he swallowed the melon seeds in his mouth, he said: "Half of the melon seeds just now were peeled by Huang Guieriang for Xiao Liu, so Xiao Liu ate half of the melon seeds returned by Huang Ama. , as for the other half of the melon seeds that Huang Ama accidentally ate, Xiao Liu is fine..."
Yinzuo blinked his eyes quickly, that pretending to be strong, with tears in his eyes, no one would feel distressed, anyway, the imperial concubine was the first to feel distressed.
"Since the emperor has already paid back half of it, why don't you return the other half as well. It's the New Year's Eve, is it possible that you are going to grab food from a child? If the emperor wants to eat, the concubine can just peel it for the emperor."
"Return! Return! Return! I dare not pay back."
Kangxi was partly out of the little bit of shame left, and the other part was out of love for the little guy, anyway, he patiently peeled off a handful for him.
Yinzuo buried his little face in the melon seeds again, took a big bite, held his little face contentedly, and smiled happily.
"Your way of eating is very strange. It's the first time I've seen someone eat melon seeds like this, but it tastes good." After speaking, Kangxi continued to eat melon seeds. He planned to peel them for himself and save up a bite. into the mouth.
The father and son had exactly the same plan, face to face "Ka Ka Ka", the crisp sound of skin breaking one after another, but Kangxi's end was naturally much faster than Yinzuo's. , the speed is far inferior to Kangxi.
Kangxi felt that it was almost done, so he cleared all the shells of the melon seeds in his hand, clapped his hands, and planned to put the pinch of peeled melon seeds into his mouth in one gulp.
"Huang Ama!" Yinzuo suddenly called out to him.
"Huh?" Kangxi looked at him.
"Can Xiao Liu borrow some melon seeds from you?"
"Borrow a little?" What kind of weird idea is this, Guaziren can still borrow it?Kangxi chuckled, and suddenly became interested.
"I've only heard of borrowing money, borrowing people, and borrowing things. This is the first time I've heard of borrowing melon seeds. You should tell me, how do you want to borrow?"
"Because I have too few melon seeds, but I also want to eat them, so I will borrow some to eat first, and then pay them back later. It's the same as borrowing money and borrowing things. It's not difficult to borrow and repay, right~ "
"That's fine, I'll lend you some." Kangxi peeled off a handful.
"Huang Ama, I still want to borrow a handful more, okay~"
Yinzuo acted coquettishly, and I have to say that he was really cute, and Kangxi was very useful.
"All right, all right, I'll lend you another handful." So Kangxi peeled another handful and gave it to him.
"Wait a minute, Huang Ama." Yin Zuo poured all the melon seeds from the small plate into his mouth, leaving a clean empty plate.
Then he signaled Huang Ama to put the second handful of melon seeds he borrowed in it. Kangxi didn't know what he was trying to sell, but he didn't bother with him. Eat it all in your mouth.
Chinese New Year, it’s rare to relax and have plenty of time. After Kangxi finished eating, he continued to peel himself. After a while, there was another bite in the plate. He glanced at Yinzuo’s small plate, which was just enough to pay back the one he had borrowed just now. .
"Xiao Liu, can you return the melon seeds I lent you just now?"
"Of course~" Yinzuo poured back the second pinch of melon seeds on the plate.
"Huang Ama, I returned the melon seeds you just borrowed~"
"Why only half?" Kangxi raised his eyebrows and asked him.
"Huang Ama, half of what, this is a handful, I have already paid you a handful just now~"
"But you have borrowed it twice in total, and now you have only repaid the first one. What about the second one? Where did it go?"
"But this is the second time! The second time Guan Huang Ama borrowed Xiaoliu and didn't eat it. Didn't she just return it to Huang Ama~"
Yin Zuo looked at him innocently.
Kangxi was choked by his logic, at first he couldn't say that Xiaoliu was wrong, but he always felt that there was something wrong.
"No...it's not right."
"What's wrong~" Yinzuo showed a sly smile.
Just now, the emperor also secretly ate the melon seeds that Yinzuo peeled. Yinzuo didn't know, but she saw it clearly, so she helped Yinzuo speak.
"Your Majesty, it's just a handful of melon seeds, and it's not a rare item. Why do you have to be serious with a child like Xiaoliu? If you eat too many melon seeds, you will get angry easily. The concubine asked the small kitchen to make longan red dates and barley soup." , Your Majesty, why not use some?"
The imperial concubine said so, so Kangxi naturally had to give her this face.
"Let's have a taste then."
Yin Zuo smiled like a little fox who only did bad things and succeeded.
Kangxi hugged him and started to tickle his armpit.
"You little clever, are you deliberately fooling me?"
"Not at all~"
Yinzuo wouldn't admit it himself anyway, and it's all because Huang Ama ate his melon seeds without saying hello. My brother said it, it's called "coming but not reciprocating is indecent".
"You still don't admit it, you little one."
Yin Zuo rolled around, avoiding Huang Ama's attack, tears of laughter came out, and the laughter of father and son was heard outside the hall.
"Huang Ama, please tell Xiaoliu the interesting things you encountered during the southern tour~" Yin Zuo, who was tired from laughing, looked at Huang Ama in his arms and asked.
"That's a long story. I followed the Yongding River all the way to Shuntian Mansion and Hejian Mansion, then to Dezhou in Shandong Province, and then to Jinan Mansion. There is an underground spring in Jinan called 'Baotu Spring. ', very unique, I also climbed to the top of Mount Tai, it really is 'I will be the top of the mountain, and I will see all the small mountains'."
"Huang Ama, why are you talking about mountains and rivers, there is nothing delicious~" Yin Zuo didn't want to hear these things.
Kangxi chuckled and scratched his nose.
"Of course there is. There is sweet and sour carp. It is charred on the outside and tender on the inside. It is sweet and sour. I guess you will like it very much. The famous Confucian dish of tofu is tender and refreshing. The braised prawns are delicious and fresh. I think it's all good."
The more Xu Zuo listened to this, the more he drooled.
"What else? Did Huang Ama go elsewhere?"
"Of course, there is also the Xuzhou Mansion. I stopped by to inspect the course of the Yellow River. I still remember that when I first came to the throne, the Yellow River once flooded, flooding many villages and towns and farmland, and countless people were displaced. It was truly a human tragedy. "
"But now our Qing Dynasty is under the rule of Huang Ama, and the people can live in peace. Huang Ama makes everyone's life better and better~"
"You have a sweet mouth, but when I come to Suzhou Mansion this time, I can really see the prosperity of the south of the Yangtze River. The courtyards and terraces are quiet and unique, and the flowers, plants and trees are well arranged. It can be called a scene at every step."
"Is it better than the palace?" Yinzuo's eyes widened, the palace was already magnificent enough.
"The two are different styles and cannot be compared. I plan to build a garden to imitate the landscape of the south of the Yangtze River for the purpose of escaping the summer heat. It is called 'Changchun Garden'. From now on, I will take you to appreciate the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River."
"Alright~ Xiaoliu hasn't been to Jiangnan yet!"
"I said to take you there last time, but you couldn't bear Qionghua and didn't want to go, no wonder I did."
"Qinghua is still young, she doesn't want me to leave."
When Yinzuo said this, he couldn't help looking out the window. It was snowing in winter, and it was freezing outside. Huanggui's mother wouldn't let him go out, and he hadn't seen his sister for several days.
"Why are you not clinging to your brother anymore? If you really have a younger sister, you forget about him? Then what if you have a younger brother in the future?" Kangxi asked him deliberately.
"No! I like my sister, and I like my brother. We are all relatives of Xiaoliu! Huang Ama, when will my brother stop going to the study and stay with me? I haven't seen my brother for a long time."
To be specific, I haven't seen him since the beginning of winter. It's cold, and Chengqian Palace is far away from Shangshufang and Nansan Institute. Yinzhen has been studying for almost a year. The masters arranged The homework is also more difficult than the previous few months, and there is no time to come to the harem.
"He can take a day off on New Year's Eve."
"Is that the only day?" Yinzuo pouted sullenly.
"Study must be hard. You know that all the students in the world have to study hard for more than ten years, or even decades, before they can be named on the gold list, used by the imperial court, and become the pillars of our Qing Dynasty. The prince should lead by example."
"Xiao Liu knows." My brother said this many times before.
"You've grown up too, why don't you go to the study together next year." Kangxi calculated, the child will be five years old in February of next year, and the imaginary age is six years old, so he should go to the study when he arrives age.
"Ah?" Yinzuo is about to cry now, he is extremely resistant and unable to accept this reality, but he dare not express his objection in front of Huang Ama.
"Your Majesty, this year Xiaoliu has been delayed in getting the pox because of his illness. I think it's better to hurry up and do it after the beginning of spring." The imperial concubine helped to break the conversation.
"Forget it, then don't worry, the vaccination is important."
During this southern tour, he learned that countless people died of smallpox among the people, and even some villages, because of the raging smallpox, only a few people survived. The vaccination is the most important thing. Thinking that Xiao Liu might get this kind of disease, I felt extremely uncomfortable.
It's a pity that after the arrival of the new year, another major event happened, which made Kangxi ignore Yinzuo's affairs again.
In the 24th year of Kangxi, Tsarist Russia took the opportunity to expand its power to Nerchinsk, Yaksa and other places, seriously threatening the fundamental "Shengjing" of the Qing Dynasty. Kangxi issued an edict to select soldiers of the Eight Banners and ordered them to go north to Shengjing to stand by and go to the battlefield at any time.
In May, Pengchun, the deputy capital of Manchuria under the Zhenghong Banner, led his troops to a fierce battle with Tsarist Russia in Yaksa. With the support of warships and red cannons, Tsarist Russia was finally defeated and sent envoys to seek peace.
Naturally, these important national events have nothing to do with Yinzuo for the time being. He still goes to Yonghe Palace to play with his younger sister every day. Qionghua has already learned how to run, so Yinzuo will accompany her to play eagles and chickens in the yard. , but he is the chick caught by Qionghua.
Yinzuo was caught by her on purpose again.
"Qinghua is so powerful, I caught my brother again~" Yinzuo hugged her and kissed her.
Qionghua, who is now one and a half years old, is also able to speak quickly. She frowned and said with some displeasure, "Brother! Seriously!"
Qionghua is very courageous and has a strong desire to win. She is serious about playing, and she is not willing to let her brother let her go.
"Okay, brother, be serious!" Yin Zuo could only restart the game and play with her seriously.
Although Qionghua didn't even touch her brother's clothes this time, she smiled even more happily.
"Sixth brother is playing with the fifth princess to catch chicks!"
De Fei Rou Wan, who was sitting on the porch, stood up with a smile, and greeted her with her hand.
"Why is my sister here? Didn't the imperial doctor tell you to lie down and rest?"
"Greetings to Sister Defei." Wan Liuha, who was just over two months pregnant, wanted to kneel down and salute like a normal person.
Concubine De quickly supported her, and said with a smile: "Why do you and I need to be so polite?"
"Yin Zuo, Qiong Hua, come quickly and meet Wan Guiren."
Only then did the two brothers and sisters notice the movement here, and Yinzuo led his sister and walked over.
"I've seen you all~"
"Hey, it would be great if my child was as cute as their brother and sister." Wan Liuhashi had wanted a child for a long time.
Concubine De smiled and said, "Go sit and talk."
A few days ago, Concubine Yi gave birth to another elder brother, who was named Yinti by the emperor. On the day of delivery, Wanliu Hashi also went to Yikun Palace. When he smelled the smell of blood, he felt a little nauseous. Now, after feeling her pulse, she realized that she was more than two months pregnant. When this happened, Concubine De happened to be present.
"I'm here to thank my sister and sixth elder brother for giving me the 'child-giving' lucky bag."
Yin Zuo tilted his head with a dazed expression, he didn't remember what he gave to Wan Guiren, so he asked suspiciously: "What?"
Concubine De remembered clearly, after all, the ginkgo leaves had already been rumored as miraculous, and everyone said that she and Concubine Yi were able to conceive one after another thanks to the ginkgo leaves that Yinzuo had given them before.
"It was just a joke, but you actually took it seriously."
Wan Liuhashi took out the as-new lucky bag from his bosom, took De Fei's hand and put it back into her palm.
"It must be so. At the beginning, you were pregnant with Qionghua and Yifei was pregnant with Brother Jiu in the same year, and now she gave birth to another one, which has passed you. It must be because Rou Wan gave me your blessing bag, so I Only after you have this child, I will return this lucky bag to you today, and you will get pregnant again as soon as possible, but you can't let Concubine Yi be inferior to you just because of me!"
This Wanliu Hashi looked even more aggrieved than Concubine De herself, she could only smile and shook her head.
"Are you really going to pay me back?"
"Really! It's enough for me to have this one!" Wanliu Hashi was not that kind of greedy person.
"Then I'll keep it for now. If you change your mind in the future and want another one, tell me."
"I can still be polite to you!" Wan Liuhashi smiled cheerfully.
"Let's not talk about this now, Sixth Brother, I heard from your mother that your prediction was accurate. Back then when your mother was pregnant with Qionghua, you could tell at a glance that she was a younger sister. Help me find out." Look, is my belly an elder brother or a princess?"
Concubine De just wanted to stop her, and explained to her that it was just a coincidence, but Yinzuo had already blurted it out.
"It's the younger brother!" Yinzuo was talking nonsense, he just wanted a younger brother, because now he already has a younger sister.
Wan Liu Ha Shi smiled and touched his lower abdomen and said: "Then I can rest assured, in the future, I will rely on this in my stomach to take me out of the palace to retire."
"You are only so old, you just want to take care of yourself." Concubine De didn't even think about this.
"Sister, of course you don't have to worry. You have two sons, the fourth elder brother and the sixth elder brother. If you want to go to that son's house, go to that son's house!"
"Er Niang, let's go to my place, brother must be very busy in the future." Yin Zuo followed along to join in the fun.
"Qinghua! I'm going too!" Qionghua hugged her brother's arm and said.
"Qinghua, you should get married when the time comes. You have your own concubine and your own family, how can you go to the sixth elder brother's house!" Wan Liuhashi teased her with a smile.
Concubine De couldn't help but give her a blank look, and said helplessly: "You are too, how old is she now, why don't she marry or not."
"No problem, Qionghua is welcome to live in my house at any time. Even if you are married, you will still be my sister~" Yinzuo hugged Qionghua and coaxed her to be happy.
"Brother!" Qionghua smiled and smeared her brother's face with saliva.
Qionghua and Yinzuo don't look alike at all, but the only thing that resembles them is that they love their relatives.
Concubine De and Wanliu Hashi laughed as they watched the intimate interaction between the two brothers and sisters.
"No! Yinzhen!" Qionghua said surprisingly.
"What?" Yinzuo was stunned, Qionghua must have heard Er Niang calling her brother's name before remembering it, but why did she hate her brother?
"It seems that Qionghua and the fourth elder brother don't get along very well? I saw that the fourth elder brother and the sixth elder brother were in harmony, and the sixth elder brother was deeply in love with the Qionghua siblings. I thought the three of them got along very well!" Wan Liuha Everyone was surprised.
"Yinzhen is studying in the upper study room and lives in Elder Brother's residence. She rarely meets Qionghua, maybe she is not familiar with her." When Concubine De concubine made this guess, she couldn't even convince her.
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that since Qionghua was a child, she would cry every time she saw Yinzhen. At first she thought it was because Qionghua and Yinzhen were not familiar with each other. Naturally, this aura is not compatible, but Xiaoliu has a soft temper and can get along well with these two brothers and sisters with unique personalities.
"Qinghua, brother is very good, why don't you like brother?"
"Brother!" Qionghua pointed to Yinzuo, "Yinzhen...no!"
"The fourth brother is also your brother! I am your sixth brother, we are the same, the fourth brother is very nice, I like him very much."
Yin Zuo didn't want his younger sister to get along with his elder brother at all. They were both Er Niang's children. He hoped that everyone could love each other.
"No! Brother... likes..." Qionghua patted her chest.
"No... Yinzhen!" Qionghua's tone and eyes were firm.
Yinzuo started to have a headache.
The author says:
here it is~
After returning to the palace, he was busy for a while. It was not until the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, when Kangxi burned incense in front of the Qianqing Gate and performed the great ceremony of "sealing the seal" and "sealing the pen", that he was free.

"Wait a minute, Huang Ama." Yin Zuo poured all the melon seeds from the small plate into his mouth, leaving a clean empty plate.
Then he signaled Huang Ama to put the second handful of melon seeds he borrowed in it. Kangxi didn't know what he was trying to sell, but he didn't bother with him. Eat it all in your mouth.
Chinese New Year, it’s rare to relax and have plenty of time. After Kangxi finished eating, he continued to peel himself. After a while, there was another bite in the plate. He glanced at Yinzuo’s small plate, which was just enough to pay back the one he had borrowed just now. .
"Xiao Liu, can you return the melon seeds I lent you just now?"
"Of course~" Yinzuo poured back the second pinch of melon seeds on the plate.
"Huang Ama, I returned the melon seeds you just borrowed~"
"Why only half?" Kangxi raised his eyebrows and asked him.
"Huang Ama, half of what, this is a handful, I have already paid you a handful just now~"
"But you have borrowed it twice in total, and now you have only repaid the first one. What about the second one? Where did it go?"
"But this is the second time! The second time Guan Huang Ama borrowed Xiaoliu and didn't eat it. Didn't she just return it to Huang Ama~"
Yin Zuo looked at him innocently.
Kangxi was choked by his logic, at first he couldn't say that Xiaoliu was wrong, but he always felt that there was something wrong.
"No...it's not right."
"What's wrong~" Yinzuo showed a sly smile.
Just now, the emperor also secretly ate the melon seeds that Yinzuo peeled. Yinzuo didn't know, but she saw it clearly, so she helped Yinzuo speak.
"Your Majesty, it's just a handful of melon seeds, and it's not a rare item. Why do you have to be serious with a child like Xiaoliu? If you eat too many melon seeds, you will get angry easily. The concubine asked the small kitchen to make longan red dates and barley soup." , Your Majesty, why not use some?"
The imperial concubine said so, so Kangxi naturally had to give her this face.
"Let's have a taste then."
Yin Zuo smiled like a little fox who only did bad things and succeeded.
Kangxi hugged him and started to tickle his armpit.
"You little clever, are you deliberately fooling me?"
"Not at all~"
Yinzuo wouldn't admit it himself anyway, and it's all because Huang Ama ate his melon seeds without saying hello. My brother said it, it's called "coming but not reciprocating is indecent".
"You still don't admit it, you little one."
Yin Zuo rolled around, avoiding Huang Ama's attack, tears of laughter came out, and the laughter of father and son was heard outside the hall.
"Huang Ama, please tell Xiaoliu the interesting things you encountered during the southern tour~" Yin Zuo, who was tired from laughing, looked at Huang Ama in his arms and asked.
"That's a long story. I followed the Yongding River all the way to Shuntian Mansion and Hejian Mansion, then to Dezhou in Shandong Province, and then to Jinan Mansion. There is an underground spring in Jinan called 'Baotu Spring. ', very unique, I also climbed to the top of Mount Tai, it really is 'I will be the top of the mountain, and I will see all the small mountains'."
"Huang Ama, why are you talking about mountains and rivers, there is nothing delicious~" Yin Zuo didn't want to hear these things.
Kangxi chuckled and scratched his nose.
"Of course there is. There is sweet and sour carp. It is charred on the outside and tender on the inside. It is sweet and sour. I guess you will like it very much. The famous Confucian dish of tofu is tender and refreshing. The braised prawns are delicious and fresh. I think it's all good."
The more Xu Zuo listened to this, the more he drooled.
"What else? Did Huang Ama go elsewhere?"
"Of course, there is also the Xuzhou Mansion. I stopped by to inspect the course of the Yellow River. I still remember that when I first came to the throne, the Yellow River once flooded, flooding many villages and towns and farmland, and countless people were displaced. It was truly a human tragedy. "
"But now our Qing Dynasty is under the rule of Huang Ama, and the people can live in peace. Huang Ama makes everyone's life better and better~"
"You have a sweet mouth, but when I come to Suzhou Mansion this time, I can really see the prosperity of the south of the Yangtze River. The courtyards and terraces are quiet and unique, and the flowers, plants and trees are well arranged. It can be called a scene at every step."
"Is it better than the palace?" Yinzuo's eyes widened, the palace was already magnificent enough.
"The two are different styles and cannot be compared. I plan to build a garden to imitate the landscape of the south of the Yangtze River for the purpose of escaping the summer heat. It is called 'Changchun Garden'. From now on, I will take you to appreciate the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River."
"Alright~ Xiaoliu hasn't been to Jiangnan yet!"
"I said to take you there last time, but you couldn't bear Qionghua and didn't want to go, no wonder I did."
"Qinghua is still young, she doesn't want me to leave."
When Yinzuo said this, he couldn't help looking out the window. It was snowing in winter, and it was freezing outside. Huanggui's mother wouldn't let him go out, and he hadn't seen his sister for several days.
"Why are you not clinging to your brother anymore? If you really have a younger sister, you forget about him? Then what if you have a younger brother in the future?" Kangxi asked him deliberately.
"No! I like my sister, and I like my brother. We are all relatives of Xiaoliu! Huang Ama, when will my brother stop going to the study and stay with me? I haven't seen my brother for a long time."
To be specific, I haven't seen him since the beginning of winter. It's cold, and Chengqian Palace is far away from Shangshufang and Nansan Institute. Yinzhen has been studying for almost a year. The masters arranged The homework is also more difficult than the previous few months, and there is no time to come to the harem.
"He can take a day off on New Year's Eve."
"Is that the only day?" Yinzuo pouted sullenly.
"Study must be hard. You know that all the students in the world have to study hard for more than ten years, or even decades, before they can be named on the gold list, used by the imperial court, and become the pillars of our Qing Dynasty. The prince should lead by example."
"Xiao Liu knows." My brother said this many times before.
"You've grown up too, why don't you go to the study together next year." Kangxi calculated, the child will be five years old in February of next year, and the imaginary age is six years old, so he should go to the study when he arrives age.
"Ah?" Yinzuo is about to cry now, he is extremely resistant and unable to accept this reality, but he dare not express his objection in front of Huang Ama.
"Your Majesty, this year Xiaoliu has been delayed in getting the pox because of his illness. I think it's better to hurry up and do it after the beginning of spring." The imperial concubine helped to break the conversation.
"Forget it, then don't worry, the vaccination is important."
During this southern tour, he learned that countless people died of smallpox among the people, and even some villages, because of the raging smallpox, only a few people survived. The vaccination is the most important thing. Thinking that Xiao Liu might get this kind of disease, I felt extremely uncomfortable.
It's a pity that after the arrival of the new year, another major event happened, which made Kangxi ignore Yinzuo's affairs again.
In the 24th year of Kangxi, Tsarist Russia took the opportunity to expand its power to Nerchinsk, Yaksa and other places, seriously threatening the fundamental "Shengjing" of the Qing Dynasty. Kangxi issued an edict to select soldiers of the Eight Banners and ordered them to go north to Shengjing to stand by and go to the battlefield at any time.
In May, Pengchun, the deputy capital of Manchuria under the Zhenghong Banner, led his troops to a fierce battle with Tsarist Russia in Yaksa. With the support of warships and red cannons, Tsarist Russia was finally defeated and sent envoys to seek peace.
Naturally, these important national events have nothing to do with Yinzuo for the time being. He still goes to Yonghe Palace to play with his younger sister every day. Qionghua has already learned how to run, so Yinzuo will accompany her to play eagles and chickens in the yard. , but he is the chick caught by Qionghua.
Yinzuo was caught by her on purpose again.
"Qinghua is so powerful, I caught my brother again~" Yinzuo hugged her and kissed her.
Qionghua, who is now one and a half years old, is also able to speak quickly. She frowned and said with some displeasure, "Brother! Seriously!"
Qionghua is very courageous and has a strong desire to win. She is serious about playing, and she is not willing to let her brother let her go.
"Okay, brother, be serious!" Yin Zuo could only restart the game and play with her seriously.
Although Qionghua didn't even touch her brother's clothes this time, she smiled even more happily.
"Sixth brother is playing with the fifth princess to catch chicks!"
De Fei Rou Wan, who was sitting on the porch, stood up with a smile, and greeted her with her hand.
"Why is my sister here? Didn't the imperial doctor tell you to lie down and rest?"
"Greetings to Sister Defei." Wan Liuha, who was just over two months pregnant, wanted to kneel down and salute like a normal person.
Concubine De quickly supported her, and said with a smile: "Why do you and I need to be so polite?"
"Yin Zuo, Qiong Hua, come quickly and meet Wan Guiren."
Only then did the two brothers and sisters notice the movement here, and Yinzuo led his sister and walked over.
"I've seen you all~"
"Hey, it would be great if my child was as cute as their brother and sister." Wan Liuhashi had wanted a child for a long time.
Concubine De smiled and said, "Go sit and talk."
A few days ago, Concubine Yi gave birth to another elder brother, who was named Yinti by the emperor. On the day of delivery, Wanliu Hashi also went to Yikun Palace. When he smelled the smell of blood, he felt a little nauseous. Now, after feeling her pulse, she realized that she was more than two months pregnant. When this happened, Concubine De happened to be present.
"I'm here to thank my sister and sixth elder brother for giving me the 'child-giving' lucky bag."
Yin Zuo tilted his head with a dazed expression, he didn't remember what he gave to Wan Guiren, so he asked suspiciously: "What?"
Concubine De remembered clearly, after all, the ginkgo leaves had already been rumored as miraculous, and everyone said that she and Concubine Yi were able to conceive one after another thanks to the ginkgo leaves that Yinzuo had given them before.
"It was just a joke, but you actually took it seriously."
Wan Liuhashi took out the as-new lucky bag from his bosom, took De Fei's hand and put it back into her palm.
"It must be so. At the beginning, you were pregnant with Qionghua and Yifei was pregnant with Brother Jiu in the same year, and now she gave birth to another one, which has passed you. It must be because Rou Wan gave me your blessing bag, so I Only after you have this child, I will return this lucky bag to you today, and you will get pregnant again as soon as possible, but you can't let Concubine Yi be inferior to you just because of me!"
This Wanliu Hashi looked even more aggrieved than Concubine De herself, she could only smile and shook her head.
"Are you really going to pay me back?"
"Really! It's enough for me to have this one!" Wanliu Hashi was not that kind of greedy person.
"Then I'll keep it for now. If you change your mind in the future and want another one, tell me."
"I can still be polite to you!" Wan Liuhashi smiled cheerfully.
"Let's not talk about this now, Sixth Brother, I heard from your mother that your prediction was accurate. Back then when your mother was pregnant with Qionghua, you could tell at a glance that she was a younger sister. Help me find out." Look, is my belly an elder brother or a princess?"
Concubine De just wanted to stop her, and explained to her that it was just a coincidence, but Yinzuo had already blurted it out.
"It's the younger brother!" Yinzuo was talking nonsense, he just wanted a younger brother, because now he already has a younger sister.
Wan Liu Ha Shi smiled and touched his lower abdomen and said: "Then I can rest assured, in the future, I will rely on this in my stomach to take me out of the palace to retire."
"You are only so old, you just want to take care of yourself." Concubine De didn't even think about this.
"Sister, of course you don't have to worry. You have two sons, the fourth elder brother and the sixth elder brother. If you want to go to that son's house, go to that son's house!"
"Er Niang, let's go to my place, brother must be very busy in the future." Yin Zuo followed along to join in the fun.
"Qinghua! I'm going too!" Qionghua hugged her brother's arm and said.
"Qinghua, you should get married when the time comes. You have your own concubine and your own family, how can you go to the sixth elder brother's house!" Wan Liuhashi teased her with a smile.
Concubine De couldn't help but give her a blank look, and said helplessly: "You are too, how old is she now, why don't she marry or not."
"No problem, Qionghua is welcome to live in my house at any time. Even if you are married, you will still be my sister~" Yinzuo hugged Qionghua and coaxed her to be happy.
"Brother!" Qionghua smiled and smeared her brother's face with saliva.
Qionghua and Yinzuo don't look alike at all, but the only thing that resembles them is that they love their relatives.
Concubine De and Wanliu Hashi laughed as they watched the intimate interaction between the two brothers and sisters.
"No! Yinzhen!" Qionghua said surprisingly.
"What?" Yinzuo was stunned, Qionghua must have heard Er Niang calling her brother's name before remembering it, but why did she hate her brother?
"It seems that Qionghua and the fourth elder brother don't get along very well? I saw that the fourth elder brother and the sixth elder brother were in harmony, and the sixth elder brother was deeply in love with the Qionghua siblings. I thought the three of them got along very well!" Wan Liuha Everyone was surprised.
"Yinzhen is studying in the upper study room and lives in Elder Brother's residence. She rarely meets Qionghua, maybe she is not familiar with her." When Concubine De concubine made this guess, she couldn't even convince her.
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that since Qionghua was a child, she would cry every time she saw Yinzhen. At first she thought it was because Qionghua and Yinzhen were not familiar with each other. Naturally, this aura is not compatible, but Xiaoliu has a soft temper and can get along well with these two brothers and sisters with unique personalities.
"Qinghua, brother is very good, why don't you like brother?"
"Brother!" Qionghua pointed to Yinzuo, "Yinzhen...no!"
"The fourth brother is also your brother! I am your sixth brother, we are the same, the fourth brother is very nice, I like him very much."
Yin Zuo didn't want his younger sister to get along with his elder brother at all. They were both Er Niang's children. He hoped that everyone could love each other.
"No! Brother... likes..." Qionghua patted her chest.
"No... Yinzhen!" Qionghua's tone and eyes were firm.
Yinzuo started to have a headache.
