[Qing Chuan] Yongzheng's embarrassing empress

In the Forbidden City, the married princes are having New Year's Eve dinner with their wives and concubines.Shuwan and the fourth elder brother watched the fireworks tenderly and affectionately, and other people were full of wives and concubines, which was another kind of excitement.

In the crown prince's Yuqing Palace, the crown princess stood up to carry the wine, and both Fujin and Princess stood up.

"I wish the prince good luck and good health every year." The princess smiled and toasted.

The prince smiled and nodded, and drank the wine in his glass.

After the concubine finished toasting, it was the turn of Fujin and Princess.

Side Fujin Li Jiashi stood up first, she was wearing a rouge-colored dress today, and the candlelight was dim at night, the rouge color looked very similar to Zhenghong.

Seeing the concubine bowing her head and sneering, Li Fangfujin thought a lot.

Li Jiashi has a round face, big eyes, and looks very cute and cute.

She raised her glass and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness, I haven't read many books, and I can't talk like the Crown Princess. I only hope that His Royal Highness is safe and happy, and live a long life."

After speaking, he raised his head and drank all the wine, sticking out his tongue coquettishly.

"Ah! So spicy!"

The prince smiled and beckoned her to come over, picked up a tangerine from the plate, peeled it off, took out a piece and fed it to Li Jiashi's mouth.

"You! If you don't know how to drink, don't be brave. Wouldn't it be nice to drink some honey rose water?"

Li Jiashi shook her head, "I want to drink the same drink as the prince!"

She squatted down and saluted, "His Royal Highness, I have practiced a dance recently, and I want to cheer the prince, princess and other sisters."

The prince became interested as soon as he heard it. The women in the palace are very well-behaved. For them, singing and dancing is not something that a serious woman should do.The prince is happy no matter whether Li Fangfujin dances well or not today.

Li Jiashi smiled at the crowd again: "Today's Chinese New Year, all the people present here are my sisters, I made a fool of myself, sisters, don't make jokes."

Everyone laughed and echoed, "There are no outsiders here, it's just for fun, who would laugh at you?"

Everyone spoke beautifully, and cursed Li Fangfujin in their hearts.

Not everyone can see the prince often, and the Chinese New Year family banquet is a good time to attract the prince's attention.Everyone put on new clothes and the best jewelry, and they prepared for a long time for this New Year's Eve meal.

Li Jia's behavior of not vacating space after toasting is the same as occupying the latrine and not shitting.

The princesses sitting in the back almost hated Li Jiashi to death. She is already favored enough, but she is not satisfied!She dawdled and danced, and the others followed suit and recited poems against the prince. After dawdling, the New Year's Eve dinner was over, and those unfavored ones didn't even have a chance to show their faces!

The two Gege who were friends with Li Jiashi played the piano and flute, and Li Jiashi held a round fan and danced to the sound of the piano and flute.

To tell the truth, Li Jia's dance was very ordinary, but she twisted her waist twice, turned around a few times, covered her face with a round fan, and then slowly revealed her eyes, giving the prince a loving look.

The prince watched it with great interest, and the pretty and charming side Fujin bothered to please him, of course he was happy, what he was watching was not a dance, but a person.

The crown princess sitting on the side looked at the crown prince and then at Li Jiashi, feeling bored in her heart.

After dancing to a song, Li Jiashi panted slightly, squatted down to salute the prince, "I'm making a fool of myself."

The prince personally went to help her, "The dance is very good, it can be seen that she has put in hard work, and the piano and flute are also very good. Thank you!"

Li Jiashi and the two princesses happily saluted and thanked each other.

The faces of the other side Fujin and Gege were not very good, and even the crown princess couldn't help showing a lonely look.

The crown prince and Li Jiashi stood there holding hands, like a talented man and a beautiful woman in a playbook, they are a perfect match, but she is the first wife!

Li Jia was proud of herself. At this moment, everyone's eyes were on the prince and her, which greatly satisfied her vanity.

Li Jiashi looked at the crown princess, so what about your status, the crown prince still likes me the most.

"Sister Crown Princess looks uneasy, but she doesn't like the concubine's dance?"

Everyone turned their heads to look at the Crown Princess, who had a sullen face, without a hint of a smile on her face, as if she was not very happy.

The prince sneered in his heart, he just doted on Li Fangfujin more, she couldn't stand it anymore.

"It's Chinese New Year, what are you doing!"

It's good that the prince didn't say this, but when he said this, the princess was furious.

You are sticky, it's good if you don't think you are an eyesore, do you want my sincere blessing?What do you think of me?

The princess recalled the art of speaking taught by Si Fujin, and suddenly laughed.

"The prince misunderstood. It's the New Year's Eve. I'm not an ignorant child on such a festive day. How could I lose my temper? Li Fangfujin also misread it just now, and I wasn't surprised."

Li Jiashi said timidly: "The light is not bright at night, maybe my concubine misread it! I thought that the elder sister of the princess didn't like the dance I danced."

The princess said lightly: "It's really not like I like it."

Li Jiashi's eyes widened involuntarily, the Crown Prince praised her just now, how dare the Crown Princess say that!Is she going to compete with the prince?

The princess said indifferently: "The dance moves are too simple, except for turning around or turning around. The piano is average, a simple piece of music has three wrong notes, and the flute is okay, but the breath is not enough."

The princess looked apologetic, "I really can't praise you enough, your dance is so hot that my eyes are so hot."

On the other side, Fujin and Gege snickered.

The princess got up and apologized to the prince, "I wanted to hold back, but Li Fangfujin wanted to ask. His Royal Highness, for the sake of the festive atmosphere, praised against his will. I am indeed not as good as you. In the future, the concubine must practice hard and strive to be To the point where you can’t show your emotions or anger.”

"Don't be sad, Li Fangfujin, you can't dance well, but your courage is commendable." The crown princess turned her head and asked the maid to go back to pick up the things, "Go and fetch my favorite round fan and give it to Li Fangfujin."

She smiled at Li Fangfujin and said, "No one will laugh at you for the New Year's Eve. Go back and practice hard, and you will dance again on New Year's Eve next year. Try to dance better than you are now."

Li Fangfujin blushed with embarrassment, she looked at the prince sadly, hoping that the prince would stand up for her.

In addition, Cian Fujin had already disliked her, so he took the opportunity to start ridiculing her.

"Sister, what are you doing in a daze? The Crown Princess rewarded you with something you love, and you still don't thank me?"

"Yes! This is the crown princess encouraging you!"

If only the Crown Princess speaks, the Crown Prince will say a few words for Li Jiashi.But the other side Fujin also spoke, this is a matter between women.

The prince returned to his seat with his hands behind his back. He never intervened in women's fights for favor. They made trouble if they wanted to. Just ignore them for a while. This is his own experience.

Li Jiashi watched the prince abandon her, she could only bow her head and obediently salute the princess to thank her.

The others were very happy when they saw it, to see if you dare to be arrogant in the future, as if you are the only one favored in Yuqing Palace!

After New Year's Eve, the next day, New Year's Day is still New Year's greetings and kowtow.

The emperor had a banquet with his son and brother in front, and the empress dowager led the concubines, princesses and granddaughters-in-law to drink and watch a play in the back.

Today is the New Year, and all the performances on the stage are auspicious and festive.Concubine Hui and Concubine Yi flattered the Empress Dowager, making the Empress Dowager laugh.

This is the first time for the Crown Princess to prepare a palace banquet, so it is inevitable that she will be in a hurry.Seeing that she was so busy that her forehead was covered with sweat, Shuwan took the initiative to ask her if she needed help.

The princess's eyes lit up when she saw her coming, "I'm short of people! Come and help me with something!"

But seeing Shuwan's belly, the princess changed her mind again.

"Hey, you'd better go back and sit down! I'll talk to you later! You lend me two maids to watch the candlelight."

Today is a cloudy day, the sun outside is dim, and it can't shine into the palace at all. If you don't light candles, you can't see the figures on the stage clearly.Most of the candles at this time were made of suet and other substances, and the wick would turn black when it burned. If the burnt wick was not cut off in time, the candle light would become dim and the smell would be unpleasant.

There are court ladies and eunuchs who specialize in looking after the candles in the palace. The crown princess is inexperienced and there are not enough manpower left.

Shuwan leaves Qiuxiang and Bingxiang behind and asks them to be ordered by the princess.

She was not polite to the princess when she was pregnant. The princess asked her to rest, so she went to rest.

The Crown Princess was busy until the palace banquet was over. At this moment, the Empress Dowager had already gone back to rest. All kinds of exquisite dishes had already been removed, and there were some snacks and fruits on the table.

There is still babbling and singing on the stage, everyone can walk around freely, chat with each other, and they can leave after a while.

The Crown Princess smiled and came to Shuwan's side, "Thanks to you lending me two, it saved me a lot of trouble!"

Shuwan stood up and saluted her, "Look at what you said, how much credit can the two girls get if they cut the lantern flowers?"

The Crown Princess held Shuwan's hand, "Although the matter is small, the heart is heavy."

The crown princess pouted towards Dafujin and Sanfujin, "There are so many people, only you sent someone over, the others! They are all waiting to see my joke!"

It's no wonder the Crown Princess thinks too much, they are both royal daughters-in-law, so they feel a little bit of comparison.

They must be thinking, aren't you the princess?Then let's see how good you are!

It's love to help you, it's duty not to help, and the princess and concubine have a noble status and can't do anything to them.

The princess took Shuwan to sit down, and chatted with Shuwan about what happened last night with great interest.

"The trick you said is so effective! Someone invited the prince to dance last night. I followed what you taught and said that she danced with sharp eyes. Hahahahaha, you didn't see it, her face was blue at that time! You teach me again A few tricks are even more powerful!"

Shuwan smiled and said: "There is no such thing as a free lunch. It's not bad for you to take a trick from me empty-handed. If you want me to teach you for nothing, that's impossible."

The princess smiled and said: "Look, you can do it, don't you still want me to send Shuxiu and offer you a cup of apprenticeship tea?"

Shuwan smiled and waved her hands, "Don't dare, you don't need to respect tea, and you don't need to call me master, but don't miss Shuxiu."

Shuwan and the Crown Princess laughed together, Sanfujin who was not far away saw it, and complained to Dafujin, "Look at her, she is the most sycophant, sycophant!"

Da Fujin tilted his head for a look, then lowered his head and smiled without speaking.

The New Year is the most leisure time for the princes. They don't have to go to school, they only need to socialize once in a while.

The fourth elder brother seldom goes out, tries to avoid useless social activities, and stays at home with Shuwan.

He will go out to fight soon, and he doesn't know how many months it will take to go, maybe before the war is over, Shuwan has already given birth.

The fourth elder brother felt very sorry that he couldn't be with Shuwan and watched his belly get bigger and bigger.

Recently, he likes to gently press his hand on Shuwan's stomach to feel if her stomach is moving.

"I heard that it's almost time for the fetus to move."

Shuwan never gave birth, and she doesn't know for sure. "No way! It seems that it will take a while."

The fourth elder brother's hand suddenly bounced, as if a thorn had grown in Shuwan's stomach. "He...he seemed to move!"

"How is it possible? I don't feel anything at all!" Shuwan joked that he was too nervous, "It's your illusion!"

The fourth elder brother is very sure, "It's not an illusion, he just moved!"

He put his hand on Shuwan's stomach again, and Shuwan smiled and said, "I've said it all, he still can't move now!"

The fourth elder brother covered Shuwan's mouth, not allowing her to speak, "Be quiet, I can't even feel it!"

Shuwan wanted to sigh, so why don't you just get into my stomach and communicate with the child!

The fourth elder brother waited for a while with a solemn expression, and finally shook his head regretfully.

"He's too lazy to move at all."

Shuwan: Brother, it doesn't matter whether you are lazy or not, okay?The child has not yet reached that stage of development!

The fourth elder brother managed to divert his attention from his stomach, "Tomorrow will be the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and all kinds of palace lanterns are hung everywhere in the palace, which is very beautiful."

Shuwan nodded. The lights in their yard are ready, and they can just hang them up tomorrow. What do you mean by this?

The fourth elder brother was suddenly a little shy, he turned his head away, pretending not to care and said: "I also prepared one for you."

Shuwan was stunned, "You... prepared a lamp for me? Where is it? Why didn't I see it?"

The fourth elder brother ordered someone to bring the lamp. It was an octagonal palace lantern with a somewhat ordinary style. Eight tassels made of rice grains and large pearls hung down from the eight corners of the top. Wishing people a long life, thousands of miles together.

The lantern has been lit, and the beauty on the lantern lowers her eyebrows and smiles.The red tassels under the lantern dangled back and forth, all the way to the tip of Shuwan's heart, making her dizzy.

"Did... you do it yourself?"

The fourth elder brother felt a little uncomfortable, "I did it...how did you find out?"

Shuwan held the lantern and smiled happily, "Intuition! Because the two of us have a good understanding!"

Shuwan put the lantern on the table and looked at it carefully.Seeing that she likes her so much, the fourth elder brother is also happy in his heart.

"You gave me a New Year's gift, so I have to give you something too, don't you? Don't get so close, your eyes hurt when you look at it. You can just play with this thing for two days. It's very easy to do this. If you like it, next year I will give it to you." Do it for you."

The fourth elder brother said that the cloud is calm and the wind is light, but in fact he has suffered a lot in order to do this.

He has an excellent taste in aesthetics, and the blueprints he drew at the beginning are extremely beautiful, but it is a pity that he has no taste and no skill, so he can't make beautiful palace lanterns.In the end, I changed it and made it like this.

Shuwan couldn't put it down holding the palace lantern, so she ordered someone to bring her a cloak, and insisted on taking the palace lantern that Si elder brother gave her to go out for a couple of circles.

The fourth elder brother was helpless, "It's still cold outside! It's daytime now, what's the point of you carrying it out."

Shuwan refused to listen, "This is a gift from you, I want to go out and show off."

Nurse Ning and others fetched a cape and warm hat for her to put on, and Shuwan wandered around the yard joyfully holding the palace lantern.

Nurse Ning and others surrounded her to accompany her, Shuwan went over one by one and asked, "Do you think my lantern is pretty?"

Nurse Ning and the others dare to say no?Even if the fourth elder brother only pastes an ordinary red lantern, they have to boast about the lantern.

"Beautiful, very beautiful, Fujin is holding this beauty lantern, it looks like a peach blossom on a human face."

"This lantern fits well with Fujin. Not only is the lantern beautiful, but the beauties on it are also beautiful. Of course, Fujin is even more beautiful."

The exaggerated words of Nanny Ning and others made Si elder brother blush, but Shuwan was different, the more exaggerated others said, the more excited she was.

She was carrying the lantern as if she was carrying a big baby, and she wanted to show off to everyone in the palace.

Holding the lamp, Shuwan tilted her head and waved at the fourth elder brother. She was wearing a red cloak, and the white fox fur on the warm hat made her lips red and teeth white. The fourth elder brother looked at her, and his heart softened into a ball of mud.

Fourth elder brother walked over to La Shuwan and went back to the house, "Stop showing off! Fifth younger sister is more mature than you!"

If it wasn't for being pregnant, Shuwan would want to jump up and down, "I don't want to be mature! With you pampering me, I am willing to be a child for the rest of my life!"

The fourth elder brother didn't care about the people in the yard, so he lowered his head to touch Shuwan's forehead.

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the fourth elder brother became busy again, and the number of trips out of the palace also increased.He is in charge of the Zhenghongqi camp and needs to go around the barracks.

Frequently going in and out of the palace, the fourth elder brother happened to meet his father-in-law.

For Shuwan's sake, the fourth elder brother respected Fei Yanggu very much. Seeing his father-in-law, he quickly got off his horse and saluted to say hello.

Fei Yanggu quickly returned the salute, the son-in-law is the prince, according to etiquette, he didn't have to bow down to salute himself.The fourth elder brother is so solemn, it seems that his daughter is doing well in the palace.

Fei Yanggu was happy in his heart, and he was very close when talking to the fourth elder brother.

"Brother is about to go to war with the emperor, so be careful outside. There are many ways in the barracks, so listen more and watch more. With my intelligence, if you go out and come back, you will definitely become a good general."

The fourth elder brother said: "Father-in-law Miao Zan, I am young, and I will be satisfied if I can learn a little bit from the emperor and other adults."

Fei Yanggu was also promoted by military merit, and he imparted some war experience to the fourth elder brother.Both of them have other things to do, and time is tight, so we can only highlight the key points.

"Now the ice and snow in the capital have almost melted, but it's still cold in the north, brother, wear more clothes when you go out."

Speaking of this, Fei Yanggu noticed the gloves of the fourth elder brother, "Huh? Elder brother's gloves are good, it should be very convenient for riding and archery. Where did this come from as a tribute? I have never seen it before!"

The fourth elder brother smiled and said: "This is made by Shuwan, it is warm and flexible, and it is very suitable for riding a horse."

Fei Yang became bitter, "Is that so! It turned out that Sifujin weaved it!"

No wonder needlework is so ugly!His daughter doesn't make any progress after getting married, and her needlework is still the same as before!He is not rare!

Although he complained about the ugliness in his heart, Fei Yanggu's sourness became stronger and stronger.

As a father, he often went out to fight, and later he protected the safety of the capital, so he finally didn't have to go out.But he is also a military officer, and he often has to ride a horse to inspect the barracks.

His good daughter doesn't make gloves for him, and now that the fourth brother is going to go to war, she figured out such a good thing.

Sure enough, it was the water thrown by the married daughter!

The fourth elder brother was a little proud, look, this is a good thing that Shuwan worked so hard to think of for him!Not even a father-in-law!

The fourth elder brother suppressed the smile on his lips, "A few years ago, Fujin ordered people to make a lot of gloves, and I will send people to deliver some to the house later."

Fei Yanggu sneered, "No need, brother, use it! You have worked so hard on the expedition, so this is the best! I can't go on an expedition this time, so I just need to stay in the capital and guard the gate. I don't need such a good thing."

Farewell to the fourth elder brother, Fei Yanggu returned home full of sadness.

When he got home, he began to complain about Shuwan to his wife, "Look at our good daughter! When I was at home, I watched my old father suffer, and I didn't know how to make gloves for Ama. Now that I'm married, I actually learned how to make five. A finger glove!"

Fei Yanggu tried his best to describe how warm and soft the gloves are, and he wished to describe a pair of gloves as a natural treasure.In fact, he just glanced at it, and only knew that the five fingers were more flexible.

His old wife was full of impatience, "Didn't the fourth elder brother tell you to give you a pair?"

Fei Yanggu: "I don't want it! It's from charity!"

His wife sneered and said, "Since you don't want to give alms, then wear old gloves! Don't even think about your daughter honoring you. Your daughter said that Brother Si is the most handsome man in the world! You are so old, Wear old gloves only!"

Feiyangu: "..."

For a moment, he didn't know whether to complain about his daughter's aesthetic problems, or to complain about Fujin's attitude.

In February, the emperor put on his armor and led an army to leave the capital from the north gate to pacify Galdan.

Snowflakes suddenly fell in the sky. This should be the last snow.

The fourth elder brother sat on the horse, looked at the profuse snowflakes and suddenly laughed.

The fifth elder brother who rode beside him on horseback asked: "Fourth brother, this is really strange, why did you suddenly laugh?"

Where's your wooden face?Is it so fun to go to war?

The fourth elder brother smiled and said, "I think snowing is a good omen, so I'm happy."

Fifth elder brother muttered in a low voice, "Is this a good omen? I've never heard of it before!"

In fact, the fourth elder brother wanted to stay in Shuwan in the Forbidden City. When it first snowed, they embraced under the snowflakes.

It should be the last snow now, but it's a pity that I can't be with her and be the most handsome man around her.

The fourth elder brother put away his smile and looked at the road ahead seriously.He will work hard to learn from Huang Ama, finish this battle safely, and return to the capital as soon as possible.

Because there are still people waiting for him to come back!

The fourth elder brother patted his chest lightly, he was wearing a sweater that Shuwan knitted for him.

Shuwan stood at the door, looking at the north.

Nurse Ning persuaded: "Fu Jin, it's still cold! Go back quickly!"

Shuwan rubbed her stomach and laughed, "Wait a little longer."

The little life in the belly moved slightly, Shuwan smiled and patted it lightly, being naughty, she must wait for your Ama to leave before learning fetal movement.
