[Qing wear] Harem promotion expert

The front hall of the open and open hall is called Yangxin hall, and the back hall is called Jiyue hall.

In terms of area, the open and open hall is larger than the Yonghe Palace in the palace, and the back door and west door of Jiyue hall are all near the water. Jiang Heng didn't put Minmin in the backyard, but stayed in the east. side hall.

Nanny Yu originally wanted to persuade, but the words rolled down the tip of her tongue.

There is a reason why the empress in the palace raises the prince and princess, and puts them in the apse: if the emperor comes, the front and back halls are separated, and there is a sense of distance between parents and children, and it is better to guard the gate, so as to avoid the emperor getting along with concubines (even if it is serious and private) Get along), was disturbed by children who do not understand the world.

But thinking about the fact that the princess is still so young, and this is the first time that the concubine Xin brought the child back to Yuanmingyuan, Mammy Yu swallowed the words again.

Wait until the princess can walk, run and talk before moving.

The emperor spared some time to come to the Tantan Pavilion today. Apart from not seeing his daughter for two days, he wanted to take Jiang Heng to see the fish.

Watching fish at night is also a scene in the Forbidden City.In several ornamental fish ponds in the palace, the railings were built high and dense to ensure the safety of concubines carrying lanterns to watch fish at night.

"The place in the palace is small, not as big as the goldfish pond here, and it is less natural." The ten scenic spots in Yuanmingyuan, just like the ten scenic spots on the West Lake, have their own essence in different seasons.

Now in summer, looking at the fish in the goldfish pond at night is one of the most seasonal scenery among the ten sceneries of Yuanmingyuan.

After the two had dinner, the emperor went to put Minmin to sleep before going out.

Jiang Heng walked to the East Side Hall with the emperor, and said with a smile: "It's easy to coax her to sleep. Minmin is very easy to coax her."

The emperor laughed as if thinking of something when he heard the words: "Yes, Minmin doesn't recognize her life. Last time I asked Thirteenth Brother to hug her. This Uncle Wang is rare and unfamiliar to her, but she doesn't cry or make trouble. Yes, in the end he fell asleep leaning against Thirteenth Brother, so that he didn't dare to breathe hard."

Minmin fell asleep leaning back against Thirteenth Master's abdomen. Thirteenth Master saw that the soft and small one was sleeping against him, and was really afraid that he would wake her up with a deep abdominal breath, so he slowed down his breathing. Yes, when I carried it to Yuanmingyuan, I felt my stomach was sore.

Some babies have high needs and need someone to accompany them at all times, but Minmin seems to have too many people accompanying her, and she has developed a very comfortable and low-needs appearance, with a regular schedule, and when it is time to sleep, she can hardly sleep. Don't be fooled by others.

After the emperor came over, he originally wanted to play with his daughter for a while to consume her energy before putting her to sleep.

However, Minmin was sitting on the kang, and after the emperor played bocce ball with her for a while, before the emperor could coax her, Minmin was so sleepy that she fell back and forth, and almost fell back on the mat, but the emperor quickly supported her with his hands the back of her head.

Then Jiang Heng just smiled at the side, not worried, the emperor couldn't help but smiled and shook his head and said: "You are a mother-in-law with a big heart."

Jiang Heng patted the cushion: "Your majesty, try it, it won't hurt."

And Minmin fell asleep on the emperor's palm at this time, quite indifferently falling asleep from wherever she fell.

The emperor is busy with government affairs, although he often visits his daughter, he seldom spends time coaxing the child to sleep. Seeing Minmin sleeps so well, he can't help but be amazed.

Asking the nurse to come up and take the baby away from his hands, the emperor got up, adjusted his clothes slightly crooked when he sat down, and walked around the back door of Jiyue hall with Jiang Heng to the best place to watch the fish in the goldfish pond.

On the white stone railing, huge Mingwa lanterns have long been hung.

While walking, the emperor pointed to the fish pond and said: "When Huang Kao bestowed the garden, I wrote a poem for this fish pond: the nature of things is leisurely and comfortable, and the sight is also pleasant."

Such a laid-back tone, it really was the style of Prince Yong who was pretending to be a rich and idle person during the reign of Duozhen at that time.

"The Zhiyu Pavilion next to it was written by him after I submitted the poem to the emperor for examination."

Presumably, Lord Kangxi was annoyed at the time when he was seized by the princes. Seeing Prince Yong's leisurely physical nature of Buddhism and Taoism, he thought, um, he is really a son who does not follow the stereotypes.

Jiang Hengfu watched the fish on the white stone fence.

When she was traveling before, she had seen a pond full of koi, but it was not the same beauty as this palm-sized goldfish with a tail like a big golden red fan.

Jiang Heng watched the fish swimming around and stayed there for a while.

That kind of immersion in a daze is like watching a cat licking its fur or a hamster running a rim, because small animals don’t care about people and have no distractions. They just focus on doing their own things smoothly, which makes human beings who always have many thoughts and burdens in their hearts , I couldn't help but stare blankly and immerse myself in it, feeling very relieved.

"how?"

Jiang Heng came back to his senses: "It's really a beautiful scene, all the courtiers and concubines watched it."

In order for the goldfish to swim according to the light, there are not many candles except on the surface of the pool.The emperor seemed to hold her hand in his palm very naturally, and also seemed to say very casually: "Since Minmin was born, we usually only talk about children, but rarely spend a while alone looking at the scenery like this. "

Jiang Heng was startled for a moment, and then instantly understood: There is too little world between two people.Too little attention has been paid to the highest boss, and the boss even started to mention something cryptically!

She immediately thought back to herself in the past six months—she had indeed neglected the workplace. In the past few months, she really thought that she was on maternity leave, and spent more energy on adapting to Minmin's appearance and changes.

It's really relaxing.

How could he forget that his boss is a tsundere cat.That's the temper that I shook my head and left in a cool manner on the surface, but secretly waited, "Why don't you come and pat me down?"

When he opened his mouth to make a point, it was obvious that it was his own negligence.

Jiang Heng wrote a review and summary in his mind on the spot, and he had to be on the lookout: I ignored the boss's thoughts this time, and we should try our best to avoid making the same mistakes in the future. .

She didn't want Minmin to be her amulet, but she hoped that she, the mother-in-law, would have the energy to protect her daughter.

The emperor saw the rare look of annoyance on her face, and even bit his lips: "Your majesty, my concubine..." Under the light, the color of her lips was a crystal pink, like the rouge rose jelly used on the table just now. .

It is about the lip balm of Xingong from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The emperor remembered that since she was pregnant, those heavy-colored lip balms with cinnabar or red juice had been put away, and most of the time, only a little beeswax was used to make transparent lip balm.

The emperor thought of beeswax and honey, and felt a sweetness on the tip of his tongue.

This kind of sweetness lingering on the tip of her tongue or her heart, coupled with her somewhat annoyed expression, put the emperor in a good mood, his eyes were as bright as Mingwa lanterns hanging above him, and he pulled her in with force: "Zhen I know, of course the mother-in-law loves the child dearly, not to mention we Minmin are still so young and we are daughters, so we can beat them no more than our sons."

"Let's go back." Yuanmingyuan was originally cool, especially by the water.

With just a hint of night breeze, the two of them went back to Suxintang as before.

The emperor stayed with his concubines, and they all brought their own attendants and belongings—the palace staff of the Hall of Mental Cultivation would prepare the dragon robes the emperor would wear when he got up the next day, the pajamas he would use at night, and the emperor’s unique specifications. appliance.

When Su Peisheng, the almighty butler, brought the pajamas, Jiang Heng suddenly remembered something.

The emperor sent her a dress before, but two buttons were missing on it.She has made it up.

So Jiang Heng held the attitude of working hard tonight, and ordered Qiu Xue to fetch the pajamas: "Your Majesty, the concubine has already mended it. It has also been cleaned and dried. Does the Emperor want to wear this?"

The emperor was slightly surprised: "It was brought to Yuanmingyuan?"

Jiang Heng quickly expressed his dedication to the emperor's clothes and his concubine's dedication wherever he went.

The emperor smiled, but instead of taking the one offered by Qiu Xue, he reached out and shook the one on the mahogany tray held by Su Peisheng.

"I'd better wear this one." Then she pointed out something: "I think you will like this pajamas more. Come here, and look at the dragon crystal buttons of this pajamas, they are very delicate."

Su Peisheng held the empty tray, looked at Qiu Xue and others, and retreated quickly.

In the room, Jiang Heng looked at the new clothes that the emperor was holding in his hands, and his face turned red: The emperor's pajamas were obviously made specially, and the buckles were very fine from top to bottom, and it was twice as many as ordinary clothes. many.

Jiang Heng: If I am guilty, you can arrest me instead of exposing my hobby on the spot.

Dragon spar, in fact, is obsidian. The crystal black is shining with a strong and mysterious light. Among the dozen or so black buttons, there are two golden obsidian buckles. The gold threads are dazzling, and form the obsidian. Jiang Heng admires it very much. Black and gold color scheme.

Such buttons are fiddled with slowly.

Sure enough, it's one thing to be exposed to death, but in essence, she really enjoys watching it...

Moreover, the emperor specially prepared such a pajamas, and unbuttoned them one by one, Jiang Heng suddenly felt like a patron who was spending money on someone's consumption.

In the early morning of the next day, after seeing off the emperor, Jiang Heng changed his clothes and went to pay his respects to the empress.

Dedicated professionals want to work overtime at night, do not ask for leave the next day, and continue to be full of energy and report on Dingding.

The queen took the concubines to pay her respects to the queen mother: it has been two or three days since I arrived in Yuanmingyuan, and I think the queen mother has also passed the life here.The queen should come forward at the right time and ask the queen mother if she wants to arrange some entertainment, such as organizing a group tour to the garden.

After all, this was the first time the emperor brought his concubines to Yuanmingyuan after he ascended the throne.

The queen mother said: "It's a good visit to the garden. This is the first time Ai's family has come back. I saw that the scenery of each courtyard in this garden is very different. Some imitate the southern region, and some imitate the northern Xinjiang. It is time to take a good look. Choose a shady day. It doesn't matter if it rains a little. Let's go to the garden together!"

At the same time, I was still dreaming: "This summer, the children should have a bitter summer. Wouldn't it be too hard to surround them with studies? Now that they are all here, Aijia asked the emperor if he could give the children a day off." , Accompany Ai's family to visit the garden."

Jiang Heng kept silent when he heard the words: the emperor mentioned it during the chat last night, it was a pity that the three elder brothers did not catch up with the wheat harvest this year because they arrived at the Old Summer Palace late this year.

"Even so, they can't make them think that this time they are here to cool off the summer. I will test their recent homework tomorrow." The emperor paused here, did some mental calculations, and then said: "Say it It's been ten days since I took the exam. I'm afraid they're too lazy."

What Jiang Heng felt at the time was that some fearful memories dominated by the weekly and monthly exams had revived and were attacking her.

Hongzhou's small mouth curled up in his heart, and he sighed: "Children have a limited childhood, let's give them a summer vacation."

Because she didn't know the emperor's plan, the empress dowager was still dreaming of her grandson's visit to the garden, and when the empress and others were leaving, the empress dowager deliberately left Jiang Heng behind.

First, I asked Minmin how her daily life was: "I came to this Yuanmingyuan suddenly, and the Ai family lives in such a large courtyard with mountains and rivers. If people don't watch and tidy it up again, it's not easy to welcome Minmin here. Two or three The day is gone, I really panic."

He also asked Min Min if he suddenly changed places when he came to the Old Summer Palace, if he couldn't eat, if he felt uncomfortable, if he couldn't sleep.

Speaking of being unable to sleep, Jiang Heng told the Queen Mother the story of the emperor accompanying his daughter and the daughter falling asleep headfirst, and the story of the emperor telling her that Minmin slept on the thirteenth master.

The queen mother was both happy and puzzled.

"Min Minsheng looks very much like the emperor, but his temperament is not very similar."

The queen mother said that it was difficult to take care of the emperor when he was a child. It is said that the child in the confinement can't see and distinguish people, but he is very stubborn. Hug it.

It's just that the empress dowager doesn't know whether the emperor is still so stubborn in recognizing him after three months. After that, the emperor will be brought up by Empress Xiaoyiren.

At that time, the emperor was carried away and she was really uncomfortable. How would a child who recognizes people like this sleep in a strange palace?

This Minmin is not at all like the emperor, Minmin is the kind of cookie who is happy to be hugged.

After Jiang Heng returned to Suxintang, he sat down and drank a cup of lemon tea.

One disadvantage of going to Yuanmingyuan is that the commuting time to and from get off work is significantly longer: it was not too convenient for her to go to pay her respects to the queen, which is equivalent to a 5-minute walk from her work unit in front of her house.

But now it's different, the Queen's Fun House is quite far away from her.

The road in Yuanmingyuan also pays attention to artistic conception. It is not the smooth and stable road in the Forbidden City, but the pursuit of the graceful beauty of the winding path leading to seclusion.

The problem is that some roads are not winding paths leading to seclusion, but leading to seclusion, and there is no way to walk.

There is another road that is "the willows are dark and the flowers are bright, another village". It is like a fisherman entering the Peach Blossom Spring. I don't know when I meet love at the corner, which courtyard suddenly appears in front of me, and whether I have strayed into the wrong route again.

Jiang Heng has to memorize the road and walk at the same time, which is much more tiring than in the palace.

So, after coming back and drinking a cup of tea, she went to see her daughter.

Looking at it this way, I found a very important problem.

The modern way of education is to stimulate the child's interest and let her do more activities to promote growth and development.So Jiang Heng brought people from Yonghe Palace to make many colorful hydrangeas, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs also sent many princess toys, including crisp golden bells, leather balls and other playthings.

Jiang Heng's original intention of getting these things is to make his daughter more active, from sitting to attract her to crawl, to guide her to walk, in short, to make her move on her own.

But she found that the wet nurses seemed to have misunderstood her meaning.

Children like things that are bright in color, quiet and crisp, and Minmin is no exception.

But the understanding of the nurses is: the princess likes to watch the ball move, so they will perform for the princess!

Minmin likes to watch the hydrangea roll around, but she is too weak to push the ball very far, so the two nurses started to push the ball to each other. Seeing the princess was happy, they pushed more diligently, and even practiced spontaneously I threw the ball in the air to catch the ball, and the house was as lively as a lion dance party during the New Year.

After Jiang Heng figured out the situation, he was helpless: I didn't want Minmin to watch the performance, but I wanted her to be interested and try to move.

In particular, Mammy Yu said that the next two to three months will be when the child starts to learn to crawl, so everything will be done for her, and someone will hold her wherever she points, and she doesn't even have to push the ball herself. Find it, the child must not like to move.

Jiang Heng started by trying not to let the wet nurse hug Minmin to sleep.

At first, Minmin was not used to it. She was lying in the car, moving around in a small ball, looking very pitiful and dazed, as if she didn't understand why she suddenly lost all kinds of soft embraces, her own world The whole thing turned sideways.

Originally, she almost fell asleep in the hug before being put down.

But Minmin didn't cry, she just sniffed her little nose, leaned her little head to the side, and leaned against the thick cotton cloth on the edge of the car, as if she had found some comfort and was satisfied, she closed her head I closed my eyes and fell asleep by myself.Only the hands still stretch out unconsciously, making the gesture of asking for a hug.

In an instant, Jiang Heng felt that the eyes of the whole palace became a little veiled and accusatory, and he was heartbroken.

And when Minmin woke up, Jiang Heng kept teasing her forward with the ball, and Minmin couldn't reach her so that her center of gravity was unsteady and she lay on the mat. Why bother to bother the princess, the princess is still so young."

Even Nanny Yu asked privately, "Your Majesty, is this trying to guide the princess to learn to crawl and walk quickly?"

Think about Xinbi talking to the princess non-stop every day, and even reading allusions to the princess before giving birth.Then I asked again: "Your Majesty still wants to teach the princess how to speak or even memorize books now? Isn't it too early? The princes in the palace are only enlightened at the age of three, and they have to be six years old when they go to the study."

She talked more and more: "The maidservant thinks that the mother has always used the princess's well-being as an excuse. Why do you have to work so hard for the princess to let the princess learn to crawl, walk and talk early?"

Nanny Yu has gotten along with Jiang Heng a lot, and she knows that she is not the kind of person who will use her children to favor her.

Jiang Heng tried his best to explain to Nanny Yu: "It's not that I want a girl to become a dragon and force her to learn these things early in order to show off her intelligence and that I can raise children myself."

"It's because it's good for her. Mammy thought, a child who has been pampered by everyone since he was a child, and who has done everything for her, what kind of mind will he have in the future? Besides, the child has not moved. Her health is not good either. Encourage her to stretch out her arms, sit more, climb more, turn over more, exercise more, and her body will be healthy."

Only then did Nanny Yu connect with Jiang Heng: "Your Majesty, let the princess stretch out her hands more, so tired, it's like the palace would rather feed less than feed more, and would rather suffer a bit from food than feed the child. What do you mean it's broken?"

Finally connected to the line!

Generally, the palace does not bring children like this: this wet nurse takes care of the prince and princess with her head tied to the waist of her trousers, and she can only get what she wants!Where is the reason why a prince or princess has to stretch his little arms to reach for a ball if he wants it?In case the princes and princesses cry because they can't reach the things, and let the ladies watch, the nurses won't be able to run away after a meal.

Therefore, taking care of children in the palace is more than thoughtful.

I really wish I could drink all the milk for the children, so that the emperor's heirs would not be small and weak, and would not be able to digest the milk after drinking it.

Concubine Xin's words made Nanny Yu ponder.

She asked herself that she was also an expert in taking care of pregnant women and children, but at this moment she couldn't help wondering if there was something wrong with taking such meticulous care: After all, the child is not a pregnant woman, and it doesn't matter how delicate the pregnant woman is, it will be over after nine months.

But children have to grow up on their own. It takes six or seven years for a child to barely stand still after being vaccinated.

No matter how careful she is, will there be a hundred secrets and one sparse.

Is it like what the concubine Xin said, it would be better for the princess brothers to move more and get in touch with the outside environment more?

She remembered hearing nurses chatting about the children in the family, no one cared about them, they were all brought up by the older ones, and many of them crawled around on the ground to play at eight or nine months old.But Nanny Yu remembers that the children in the palace are always white and fat in the arms of the wet nurse, and it takes a little later to learn to crawl and walk...

All kinds of thoughts kept turning in Mammy Yu's mind: Originally, she thought it was helpless for the poor children to be in charge of the family early. The princes and princesses in the palace don't need to suffer this kind of hardship, and they don't have to walk and fall like the children outside. No one took care of me, so I had to get up and continue walking.

But now it seems that learning to walk without falling is a good thing?

"It's like a delicate orchid that is carefully cared for. It's beautiful, but it can't stand the wind and snow. I would rather Minmin is like the horned violets planted in Yonghe Palace. It is hardy, sun-resistant and easy to grow.

Jiang Heng just didn't want her child to be hugged all the time. She still remembered that Zhang Ailing once described a child who was only hugged by a nanny as a "sick piece of lard".

When I saw this metaphor at the time, I felt that Zhang Ailing really knew how to write, and it highlighted the child's weakness and sluggishness.

Thinking about it now, I feel startled.

Nanny Yu understood a little bit: Although it was the first time for the concubine Xin to have a child, she had her own opinions.

Seeing Nanny Yu nodding his head, Jiang Heng breathed a sigh of relief: We must persuade Nanny Yu to join and cover together.Otherwise, neither the emperor nor the queen mother would be able to understand how she raised her daughter.

Although Nanny Yu was temporarily on Jiang Heng's side, she didn't know what to do.

The next time Imperial Physician Liu came to ask the princess for a pulse, Nanny Yu grabbed him and asked, "The princess is half a year old now, how do you think the princess is doing?"

Imperial Physician Liu was surprised and said, "Why do you suddenly ask such a question? Is it because the princess has any symptoms in the past two days?"

Nanny Yu shook her head: "Not really." She revealed a little bit: "It's just that the empress wants to take the princess out to play more in the future, do you think it's okay?"

Physician Liu was relieved: he thought that he had stumbled and didn't get any pulse.

So he smiled and said: "When you arrive at the Old Summer Palace, the scenery is different. Naturally, the empress wants to take the princess around. In my opinion, it's okay. To tell the truth with the mother, the emperor is in the prime of life, and the concubine is in good health. Is your health bad?"

"The princess is half a year old now, and the common fever, wind, spitting up, and colic in children are all gone. The jaundice that was just born disappeared quickly, and I didn't take any medicine." Doctor Liu elaborated Let me count it down: "When the emperor set out to drive to the Old Summer Palace, he specially called me over to ask if the princess could withstand a day's driving. Mammy knew that it was about the health of these little masters, so how could I guarantee it, but the fourth princess , I really dare to say one thing, as long as you take good care of it on the road, it will be fine."

"Sure enough, when the princess arrived at the Old Summer Palace, she didn't have the night terrors of changing her residence, nor the cold of facing the water. According to my inquiries with the nurses and nurses, she didn't even miss a meal of milk. Even the rice cereal just added , the princess is also very sweet, unlike many children who don't like to eat. Amitabha, I have also been in the palace for most of my life. If everyone is as healthy as the concubine Xin and the little princess, then We can save a lot of trouble by being too hospital."

Nanny Yu: ...

The two talked for a while before Qiu Xue came out of the room: "Princess Liu, please come in. The princess is here with the empress, and the empress has something else to ask the physician Liu."

Need advice?Doctor Liu's eyes lit up.

Concubine Xin is very generous and often rewarded. If you ask for advice, you will get a red envelope in a while.

Nanny Yu looked at Imperial Physician Liu, whose back was full of joy, and couldn't help but cursed with a smile: "Money fan!"

Then I made up my mind: It's really like what Imperial Physician Liu said, it's good for the empress to raise the princess so honestly.As long as it doesn't kill seedlings to encourage growth.

Speaking of pulling seedlings to encourage growth.

At this time, three seedlings were being tortured in Qingyan, Kyushu.

The emperor looked at his daughter and his son with different eyes.If Jiang Heng's practice of raising his daughter's independence at a young age reaches the ears of the emperor, the emperor may feel distressed and even stop him when he finds out, but if he raises his son in this way, the emperor will 100% agree.

For example, right now, he is taking the exam for the three princes with a straight face.
