"It's so hot, the emperor sent the children to harvest wheat, it's really..." The queen mother waved her fan and looked at the bright sun outside.

Aunt Wu Ya handed over the citron tea that had been chilled in ice: "Your Majesty forgot, the Emperor Xiandi was like this at that time, but the time was not so long."

The queen mother said distressedly: "It is precisely because the Ai family saw that the emperor and the others went to the field in person and came back tanned and thin, so they know how distressed they are."

However, the third concubine Qi Xiyu still doesn't know.After all, although they are not from any top rich and famous families, they are all ladies from official families, and they have never seen anyone harvesting wheat in the field.

The emperor took his sons out, and they, the mother-in-law, were more relieved than worried at this time.The relationship is based on getting along with each other. It is rare for the emperor to spend a few days in his busy schedule and take the children to work in the field himself. This is an extremely precious opportunity to show his face in front of Huang Ama and cultivate his relationship.

They can't even imagine how hard it is.

The Empress Dowager had seen the tragedy, and seeing that the concubines were still happy for her son, she sighed in her heart: When the child comes back, I'm afraid you will cry.

Thinking of her grandsons working in the fields, the queen mother would not be able to eat well, and she was worried when she looked at the sun outside, wishing that the clouds above the Old Summer Palace would rain every day, so that the grandchildren would not be exposed to the sun.

After receiving the citron tea handed over by Aunt Wu Ya, the Empress Dowager felt anxious and said, "Ai's family is not too old to move. When I was a court lady, I used to eat ice when it was hot. You don’t even have a sip of iced tea these days? Just put it in the ice jar and chill it, what’s the fun.”

Aunt Wu Ya could only smile apologetically, and said in her heart: "Oh, the emperor has arrived at the Old Summer Palace, the Fourteenth Master is studying hard at the Ministry of War day and night, and the Empress Dowager is not here with her sons, her grandchildren are suffering, and she is in a panic!"

No matter how many children there are in the Prince's Mansion of Xun County, it would be great if they are the children of the Prince's Mansion. Even if the Empress Dowager is concerned about it, it is not good to take them into the palace for a permanent residence. The separation of mother and child is a headache for the Empress Dowager herself, so she can't bear it. Let Fourteen Fujin give her the child to raise.As for the concubine's children, the queen mother can't take them in, otherwise they will have the status of being raised by the queen mother.

So the queen mother had no choice but to be greedy.

It would be great if there were children in the palace who could be intimate with the empress dowager.

Afterwards, Aunt Wu Ya thought of this day, and felt that it was really rare for her to be open-mouthed.

After drinking a cup of iced tea that wasn't too cold, the Queen Mother was really bored and said, "Why don't you call Concubine Xin to stay with Ai's family for two days. She also has a lot of new stories in her belly, and she also reads a lot. I talked about it last time. The stories in Zuo Zhuan are actually quite interesting."

What Jiang Heng told the queen mother was the story of Duke Xian of Jin.

This is what she learned in her junior high school textbook, and she feels very intimate when she sees it in Zuo Zhuan.It is said that Duke Xian of Jin wanted to have a wife (equivalent to helping a concubine he likes as his wife at this moment), so he asked the officials to use turtle shells for divination. After the officials finished divination, it was honestly unlucky, so Duke Xian of Jin made a show Operation, since this is unlucky, then change the method of divination, and then change the method of divination, probably because the official is more clever, and it will be auspicious immediately after divination, Jin Xiangong is happy to follow the auspicious statement.

This is practical metaphysics.

Just like modern people, if the left eye makes money, they believe it. Oh, I’m going to get rich, but the right eye doesn’t believe it. I don’t engage in feudal superstition, but I just didn’t sleep well, and feudal superstition retreats.

What Jiang Heng said was so interesting that the Empress Dowager was overwhelmed with joy, and said: "It turns out that the collection of classics and history is not all the dry knowledge of saints."

Now that I think about it, I'm going to let Jiang Heng tell the story again.

Aunt Wu Ya hastily asked someone to announce it.

Unexpectedly, before she finished giving orders to the servants of the Compassionate Ning Palace, the No. 1 Imperial Physician Liu of the Qianjin Department of the Imperial Hospital and Qiu Xue, the first-class maid of the Yonghe Palace, begged to see her at the gate of the palace.

When Aunt Wu Ya saw this pair, and then saw the joyful expression on the faces of this pair, her heart jumped wildly: Could it be that what I was expecting just now has come true? !

He quickly brought the two of them in to meet the queen mother.

The Empress Dowager was leaning on the pear blossom couch, tearing the tassels from the fan and playing with boredom.

Seeing this pair come in, my thoughts turned, and I couldn't help but sit up straight immediately.

When the imperial physician saw the Empress Dowager, he didn't dare to be impatient or hesitant at all, and immediately knelt down in a 'plop': "Go back to the Empress Dowager, the Empress Xinbi has diagnosed the happy pulse!"

A short sentence fell into the ears of the Queen Mother, but it was like thunder.

Counting from Hong Zhou's good news to now, it has been nearly seven years.She had hoped for the emperor to have another heir for so many years, but this time she couldn't believe it for a while.

Aunt Wu Ya saw that the Queen Mother was not in line with her usual grace and elegance, she quickly got up from the couch, stood in front of the couch and asked the imperial physician like a cannonball: "Really? Imperial physician Liu, as usual, concubine Xin asks for a pulse every ten days. Yes, why didn’t she diagnose it last time? Is she doctor Xuan today? But there is something wrong, is there something wrong with the child? Also, how is the month? , Is there an imperial physician guarding the Yonghe Palace? This is the first time Concubine Xin is happy, what does she know as a young girl!"

The weather was already hot, and the empress dowager's series of questions made the imperial doctor sweat profusely.

The queen mother saw that he was sweating profusely, and immediately became uneasy: "Aijia asked, you just answer it bluntly, what are you sweating for? Is there something wrong with the fetal image?!"

Imperial Physician Liu is about to cry: I want to answer, but the Empress Dowager has never stopped talking, who dares to intervene.

Aunt Wu Ya dared, she stepped forward to support the queen mother: "Mother! It's hot, don't be overjoyed, it hurts your heart. And you have to give Imperial Doctor Liu a chance to speak slowly. Come on. Physician Liu is a master of Xinglin in the imperial hospital, and he can never make a mistake when he diagnoses the happy pulse. You just sit still and listen to the good news from the emperor's grandson."

Doctor Liu looked at Aunt Wu Ya, as if he saw Master Qingtian.

Sure enough, the Empress Dowager was persuaded, at least she stopped standing to give Physician Liu a sense of oppression, but sat down and stared at Physician Liu with burning eyes.Seeing Qiuxue still at the side again, the queen mother stopped the tirade Liu Taiyi was about to speak, and said to Qiuxue: "You are the maid in charge of the Yonghe Palace, you go back first, so that you can take good care of your master! The Ai family has its own idea."

Qiu Xue kowtowed and ran away.

Physician Liu hastened to describe the situation of Concubine Xin one by one.

"Back to the empress dowager, the concubine asked for the peace pulse six days ago, but she didn't diagnose the happy pulse at that time. Today, the Yonghe Palace announced the imperial doctor, and the next official came with the previous pulse case. I thought the empress had a bad spleen and stomach in summer. After examining the pulse, I found that although it was only a month old, it was an obvious happy pulse. It should be that the pulse surfaced when the reaction was severe."

Doctor Liu didn't even dare to change his tone, and immediately continued: "Because I believe that my concubine was born strong, and she took good care of herself when she entered the palace. She has no symptoms of physical weakness and blood deficiency, and has abundant qi and blood, so the mother's body is not hindered by the fetal image." Stable. Now it’s just as usual, and there is no need to make up.”

When the Queen Mother heard the last word, she couldn't help Amitabha.

"It's good to be stable, it's good to be stable. The first child was originally a heavy reaction." The queen mother only felt layers of joy flooding up, and the scorching summer sun outside the window that made her irritated turned into a golden auspicious omen. Said to Aunt Wu Ya: "Looking at the good weather, we know that this child has come smoothly, he must be a good child."

Aunt Wu Ya pursed her lips and smiled: The empress dowager is so happy and confused, it is true that the concubine's pregnancy was diagnosed today, but who knows when she got it, maybe what day it will be.

But naturally he continued: "Your Majesty is right, I believe that your concubine is a blessed person."

The Queen Mother thought about it for a while, and said to Aunt Wu Ya: "Tell Yu Si to stay in Yonghe Palace for a few months, at least after the first three months."

Sister Wu Ya was a little surprised: Tiao Yusi went to Yonghe Palace?The queen mother really valued it.

This Yu Si was the same as her, she was by her side when the Empress Dowager was favored and gave birth to a child, and she was also a palace maid who was good at taking care of women.It's just that most of the servants in the palace have ailments here and there due to the hard work in the early years.

Aunt Wu Ya has some minor problems, but it doesn't matter.

It was miserable for Mammy, she slipped and fell to the ground in a hurry to work in winter, her hip was broken once, and she was a little inconvenient to walk around.Because she had made great efforts to give birth to the Empress Dowager one after another back then, the Empress Dowager thought of her benefits and contributions, and when she was a concubine, she was raised in her own palace and took the position of a nanny.

After becoming the empress dowager, the number of palace people around her became more abundant, so she was directly raised in the Palace of Compassion and Peace, at most she was just a little maid in the palace.

But this time she was going to be sent to Yonghe Palace.

Aunt Wu Ya promised to leave when the Empress Dowager said again: "Also, go and have a look at the tonics in the warehouse, pick some good ones and send them, but ask the imperial doctor to use them, don't ask her to make them up herself! She is still young It's the first time again, if the child is too big, life will be difficult and it won't be good."

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard the imperial doctor's weak voice echoing from the corner: "The empress dowager will see you."

The queen mother looked at the corner in surprise: "Hey, Imperial Physician Liu is still there." She was almost startled, thinking that the walls of the Forbidden City had been infiltrated by the imperial spirit for many years and finally became a spirit who could speak—the queen mother's recent interest has turned to gods, Buddhas and spirits. The novel moved on.

Imperial Physician Liu wiped off his sweat: Sure enough, the queen mother forgot about him, but luckily he said something right in time.

The Empress Dowager nodded and said: "It would be better if you didn't leave. After a while, I will go back to Yonghe Palace with the nuns in the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and bring all the words that Ai's family ordered. It just so happens that the emperor is not in the palace now, and Ai's family wants him When I came back, I saw a good concubine Xin, and in the future, the Ai family will also see a good mother-in-law and children! This matter is on you, do you understand?"

As expected of a mother and son, how did the emperor threaten Dr. Mao, the director of surgery at that time, and how embarrassing Dr. Liu, the director of obstetrics and gynecology, is now.

Physician Liu answered yes again and again, and said very clearly.

He's actually very confident.

Concubine Xin has been favored since she entered the palace, and has always been one of the objects that their imperial hospital attaches great importance to.Physician Liu knew a lot about her physical condition—Concubine Xin was in good health.

At this moment, the joy of Yonghe Palace is like water about to boil, with a kind of boiling that does not know what to do.

Qiu Xue has already turned [-] times in situ.

It's not that I don't know what to do, but that there are too many things to do, and my mind is in a mess for a while.Fortunately, there was an ice basin in the room, so Qiu Xue simply took two pieces of ice and stuck them on her face directly.

After Qiushuang ran out, she did the same thing, her face looked like she had a serious burn, and she was still a little sickly red.

"Sister Qiuxue, can master use ice-conditioning now?"

Qiu Xue tried to calm down: "If a concubine is pregnant, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will send a nanny according to the rules. Just now, the Empress Dowager also said that there will be arrangements. Let's not move around, just let the master rest quietly."

Qiu Shuang nodded: "I'm also in a daze looking at Master."

Jiang Heng was indeed a little surprised.

But this time, he is no longer confused.

Knowing the history of Yongzheng Dynasty, she has no pressure to bear children, but the lack of pressure does not mean that she has entered the industry of concubine, and has not considered this extremely important issue, and it can even be said to be the most important issue.

Be prepared and always have a planb and a backup plan in hand to avoid panic. It can be said that there are sequelae of work.

Jiang Heng has long planned how to take care of her here if she becomes pregnant.

Although she didn't have the experience of being born in person in her previous life, she had the experience of witnessing: the girl who entered the company with her, Jiang Heng watched her get married, became pregnant, gave birth to a full-time mother, and the other party watched her liver project, liver project, promotion salary increase.

The two took completely different paths, but their relationship was very good.

Jiang Heng accompanied her through the whole process of pregnancy and childbirth - in terms of time, she saw pregnant women much more than the child's father.Moreover, the mutual sympathy between girls is a kind of tenderness and sympathy that comes from the same, and many difficult men cannot experience it by empathizing.

At that time, when the two had lunch at the table at noon, it was inevitable to chat about the children.

Colleagues also had to tell all the hardships of pregnancy, and Jiang Heng also listened to many maintenance guidelines and precautions, many of which were different from those mentioned by her parents in the early years.For example, modern people are rich in nutrition and do not have the hardships of the past. Generally, they are not allowed to take more supplements. Even when a child is just born, eat a lot of eggs or drink chicken soup with oily chicken soup. In addition, people now have too much nutrition and it is easy to block milk.It's not the era when the nutrition was not enough to eat an egg, so that the mother had no milk.

After arriving here, besides taking care of pregnancy, what Jiang Heng thinks about the most is: if he has a child, how to raise it according to gender.

For example, for a boy, the first thing to do is to teach him the survival guide of the royal family, how to get along with an emperor like Emperor Yongzheng; for a girl, she is required to work harder and be more aggressive, and try to keep her daughter in the capital without touching him.

Regarding this point, Jiang Heng also deliberately conducted a vertical timeline survey: During the period of Lord Shunzhi, most of the concubines in the palace were Mongolian concubines, and the daughters of Lord Shunzhi all caressed Mongolia without exception. in Mongolia.After 50 years of hard work by Emperor Kangxi, Mongolia gradually changed from an ally to a subordinate, the number of Mongolian concubines in the palace decreased, and the princesses gradually began to stay in the capital.

There is a precedent and it will be easy to handle.

And when it comes to the emperor, it's even more so. The concubines of the Mongolian Army Banner have become rare species in the palace, and there has never been a favored child.

Jiang Heng had calculated that Emperor Yongzheng himself was a prophetic emperor, coupled with his perfectionist character, he estimated that in this life he would require himself to be more perfect, and he would make up for the omissions in the war before, so he would not have to give up his very rare daughter Come to caress.

What's more, there is still oneself, it is man-made.

Before Jiang Heng felt that he had made all the planning outlines very clear.

But it wasn't until I actually faced this matter that I realized that this kind of feeling is unpredictable.

She was really confused at the time, so she simply didn't want to do the familiar work first, so she asked Imperial Physician Liu: "The concubine in the palace is pregnant, do I need to report the good news to the empress dowager and empress in person?"

At that time, Imperial Physician Liu was dumbfounded by her question.

He has seen pregnant concubines carrying buckets - of course, they are all the carts and buckets of the late emperor.

The concubines all ask about their own fetal images or about their children first, so why should a concubine ask about the rules first.

At that time, Imperial Physician Liu only said hastily: "Your Majesty, you don't need to move around. It was always the rule in the palace of the late Emperor that if a concubine is diagnosed with pregnancy, the imperial physician and the maids in the palace will report back to the Empress Dowager..." At this point, Imperial Physician Liu got stuck.

The reason for the rule of the first emperor is because there was no queen in the palace later.

Today's rules... Today's rules will start with this one.

Jiang Heng thought for a while: "Then press this first, and please go back to the Empress Dowager with Imperial Physician Liu and Qiu Xue. I have my own palace servants here before going back to the Empress Dowager."

Doctor Liu accepted the arrangement.

As for Jiang Heng, after arranging this matter, he began to calm down and think about the child.

She remembered that her colleague said that the baby had just had a fetal heartbeat when it was more than a month old, but it was actually a very small and weak life less than two centimeters long.

Jiang Heng gently patted his invisible abdomen as if comforting: In other words, you are still a little peanut now, it doesn't matter, it's fine if mom rolls, you can just make peanuts with peace of mind.

In Yuanmingyuan.

Hong Zhou sat on the ridge and cried like a little black cat.

After harvesting the wheat for four days, his white and tender little face was already red and tanned to the naked eye, and because there was dirt on his hands and he wiped his face again, there were several streaks of ashes on his face, which can be said to be various meanings. little black cat.

Hongli came over and squatted beside him, a little weak: "Fifth brother, don't cry."

Hong Zhou was still crying silently at first, but now he simply burst into tears with his throat turned upside down.

"I want to go back to the palace, I want Erniang, I want fried chicken, I don't want to pick up wheat anymore!"

As soon as he howled, Hongli hurriedly persuaded him: "Be careful to attract Huang Ama".And just when Hong Zhou was halfway through crying, an angry voice came from the field: "Cry, cry, you're still crying like a picker and hugger, you'd be exhausted if you didn't see me bending over to cut the wheat here." Already?!"

Hirotoki stood up wearing a straw hat.

Because Hongli Hongzhou is too small, even a small sickle is not suitable for use after evaluation.

So the emperor asked Hongshi to cut the wheat by himself—this son was the one he wanted to cure the most.

Hongli and Hongzhou followed behind, responsible for binding up the wheat lying on the ground after Hongshi had harvested and carrying it to the edge of the field, waiting for the last ox cart to pull it away to dry the wheat.

Hongshi's tone was very fierce, and his age belonged to the eldest brother, so Hongli Hongzhou had no choice but to stand up.

In a thatched shed next to the wheat field, two imperial physicians waited bitterly. They were ordered by the Holy Order to watch over the prince so as not to heal heatstroke or cuts in time.The emperor prepared a seat for them, but the princes cut the wheat in the wheat field, hugged the wheat to bind the wheat, and they sat next to them, eating watermelon and drinking big tea, they would definitely be hated.

The emperor has only these three sons, no matter who succeeds in the future, they will be in bad luck.

So they had to stand aside and wait.

The emperor himself went to Qingyan, Kyushu to handle government affairs.

Although he picked a relatively free time to bring his sons here to experience life, but he is the emperor after all, it is impossible to stay in the field every day.

Besides, he really doesn't need to endure such hardships to hone his mind—not only he doesn't need it, but all his brothers don't need it either.

Their training goes far beyond this.

"Hong Zhou."

At this time, another gentle voice sounded outside the field.Hong Zhou looked up, then ran to the person, sat on the ground hugging the person's leg and continued to cry: "Uncle Thirteen, Uncle Thirteen, please take me home."

Prince Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and regardless of Hongzhou's dusty and dirty body, he bent down and picked him up, and then supported him with one arm, and he still had one free hand to hold Hongli, and comforted him: "It's already Almost half of the day has passed."

Hongzhou became more and more sad: "It's less than half the day!"

The Thirteenth Master took two young ones and greeted Hongshi: "Let's rest for a while and eat melons for a while." The little eunuch who followed him quickly put the white jade melons that the emperor had just rewarded on the table in the thatched shed, Split with a clean knife into fine teeth.The cold and honey melon soon attracted the three princes.

No one seems to be particular about this meeting in the palace.Sitting on the wooden chair in the straw shed, holding a toothpaste and eating it was very sweet.

With the thirteenth master's endorsement, the eunuch who is in charge of 'stalking' the princes' work can also release water, so that the three princes can sit in the tea shed and eat melons for a short rest.

And Thirteenth Master parted his braids in his waist, and did some farm work for his nephews.

From Hongshi onwards, the princes all looked at each other with admiration.Hong Zhou even held a melon like a surprised cub: "Uncle Thirteen, you also farm?"

Prince Yi turned around and said with a smile: "Don't you think Brother Huang is making things difficult for you? We have personally passed through these."

After working for the children for less than a cup of tea time, Su Peisheng came galloping.

"Master Thirteen, Lord Long Live is urgently announcing you."

Prince Yi was shocked: Does the emperor have clairvoyant eyes and ears?Didn't the emperor know that I was cheating by harvesting wheat for the children not long after I left, so he told me to go back?

In fact, the Thirteenth Master had just left Qingyan in Kyushu, and the eunuch who announced the good news arrived.

When the emperor received this letter, he also felt like a dream.

In this way, it didn't take long for him to get the hexagram, and the child arrived.Is it true that the heavens have pity on him, pity on his past life regrets?

Because it was in the Old Summer Palace, he couldn't see Jiang Heng, and he couldn't see the Queen Mother either, so he felt a throbbing joy that he couldn't share with others.

So he urgently ordered people to announce Thirteen back.

When Prince Yi entered the door, he felt that the emperor's brother was in an unusual state. He seemed to be deeply moved, but he was somewhat relieved.

"Brother Emperor?"

The emperor supported the back of the dragon chair and smiled at him.

"Thirteenth brother, do you remember that I told you about allergies?"

Prince Yi nodded vigorously: This is really quite memorable.

The emperor's smile was like a golden light shining on the ice and snow: "She is here."

On the same day, Jiang Heng received an urgent letter from Yuanmingyuan.

Jiang Heng took the gold needle, opened the envelope sealed with dragon pattern gold powder, and took out the flower note inside.A flattened Michelia flower fell out of the envelope, still carrying a faint fragrance.

The painting on the flower paper was obviously not printed before, but a few strokes of the emperor's brush and ink, using a vermilion brush.It is painted with scarlet mountains and scarlet flowers.The emperor didn't have time to change the brush, so he directly used Zhu Pian's imperial brush. It can be seen that the flower paper was drawn on the imperial case, which is a kind of eager joy.

There are only eight characters on the flower paper, half a sentence, and it seems to have nothing to do with the flowers and mountains outlined in the background.

"Huaigen Mengjue, all hardships are rewarded."

At first, Jiang Heng felt a little awkward when he saw this piece of paper. The emperor himself should not think of his heirs as a hardship. Isn't the word "suffering and sweetness coming" too heavy?

Just when she was drawing a pen and thinking about how to reply to the emperor, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration: No, she seems to have seen this word before.

Qiu Xue saw the empress coming to the bookshelf, flipping through the books one by one, flipping through the books for half an hour.

When he finally turned over, Jiang Henglei's arms were sore.

She looked at the answer she finally found and said in her heart: Your Majesty, you are indeed worthy of being you, Aixinjueluo's generation of Minmin, with so many hidden tricks.

Zhao Min gave Zhang Wuji a Tibetan prescription for pearl hairpins, and the emperor sent half a sentence of metaphor.

Jiang Heng looked at the patterns of mountains and flowers drawn by the ink brush—it seemed that what the emperor wanted to send her was not at all the first half of the sentence "the root of the locust tree is a dream, and the sweetness of all hardships come", but the second half of the sentence "the flowers also like, and the mountains also love each other. "

Jiang Heng wrote with emotion: The emperor's romance, one visit is enough, and she is afraid that she will be overwhelmed if there are too many visits.

It seems that there is no end to learning, and it is a universal truth.What else is there to say, think of cute peanuts that must not be rolled up?

As soon as Jiang Heng finished writing the reply letter, Qiu Shuang came in outside: "The little eunuch from the Empress Dowager who ordered someone to deliver something to the emperor is about to leave, and I came here to ask the empress if she has any letters to carry?"

Jiang Heng just happened to stuff the palm-sized miniature portrait of Min Min he drew recently into the envelope together with her reply letter.

When the emperor opened her letter, he was still a little apprehensive.I don't know if she can understand the hidden words in metaphor.

Juanxiu's handwriting is vivid in front of my eyes: "Shan's wife is childish, laughing and talking together, and the joy is boundless", which is exactly the sentence he wrote to her in "Putianle".

She knows it.

She understood Zhengou's mountain flowers, and she didn't do it casually.

The emperor looked at the half-sentence Jiang Heng wrote back, and then at the small portrait in the envelope, and unconsciously, a picture of a family relationship with a beautiful woman hugging a young girl's knees, laughing like pearls, appeared in front of his eyes.

Su Peisheng was at the side, looking at the emperor's expression, he thought to himself: Oh, I really want to know what the concubine Xin wrote, the emperor is so happy.

Recently, Eunuch Su, who couldn't grasp the emperor's mind, became so envious.
