[Qing Chuan] The Empress Dowager Raising Cubs Daily

Inside Yanxi Palace.

Concubine Nalashu looked at Baoqing lovingly, Baoqing had a happy smile on his face, and acted like a baby in Nalashufei's arms.

"Is Baoqing obedient in the Compassion Ning Palace?"

"My son is good, very good!" Baoqing replied loudly, and happily took out the album from his bosom to show to Concubine Nala Shu: "The emperor Mama gave it to Erchen, saying that only good babies can have it." oh?"

Consort Nala let out a wow.

She took the picture album, and after flipping through two pages, she showed a little surprised expression: "Can Baoqing read the words on it?"

Baoqing lowered her head in shame.

He snapped his fingers: "I will, I will know a little..."

"know a bit?"

"Woo - there will be a few!" Baoqing pointed to the cover of the album with red ears and said, "This is a havoc in heaven!"

"Wow, Baoqing is amazing!" Concubine Nala applauded enthusiastically, and Baoqing was even more happy from ear to ear, with the word "satisfaction" written all over her little face.He raised his chin happily, and coughed: "The picture book says that Sun Dasheng has learned martial arts well..."

Baoqing spoke vividly.

Concubine Nalashu looked at her son who spoke smoothly in surprise, and was extremely relieved.

Being able to speak so smoothly, obviously someone must have been reading to Baoqing.Thinking of this, Concubine Nalashu couldn't help being a little curious: "Who read it for Baoqing?"

"Er Niang is so stupid! Empress Mama!"

"Is it—the Empress Dowager?" Concubine Nalashu was stunned for a moment, and then she showed a gentle smile: "Baoqing, please listen to the Empress Dowager's words carefully?"

Baoqing nodded, finished talking about the story and started talking about toys.

By the way, he also looked at Concubine Nala with great anticipation: "Lingyi is so cute, Erniang will give Erchen a younger sister and younger brother, okay? Or an older brother is also fine!"

Baoqing clapped her fingers, thinking happily.

He muttered with a smile on his face: "If it's a younger brother, I'll read a storybook to him; if it's a younger sister, I'll pick flowers for her; if it's an older brother——I'll take me to play horseback riding and fighting!"

Concubine Nala Shu showed helplessness.

The nannies and palace people at the side lowered their heads, trying hard to endure the smiles welling up in their hearts.

Baoqing didn't know it, and his face was full of anticipation.

Concubine Nala couldn't laugh or cry, but after thinking about it, she smiled and said: "That's right! Baoqing has seen the empress's belly, right?"

"Hmm! I even touched it!"

"Touched, touched?" Concubine Nalashu widened her eyes and repeated subconsciously.

"Yes!"

"It's actually a baby inside, maybe you will have a younger brother to play with you soon!" Concubine Nalashu calmed down and explained with a smile.

Baoqing suddenly realized.

He jumped up and down excitedly, still yelling: "When will it be?"

Concubine Nala tried hard to recall: "Maybe it's May... right?"

Baoqing's face was serious, he counted seriously with his fingers, and then his face turned pale with shock: "There are only four months left."

He didn't care to talk to concubine Nala Shu.

Baoqing jumped down: "My son, go out and find something!"

Concubine Nala Shu was stunned: "Oh?"

Baoqing ran out jumping up and down: "It's a gift for my brother! You have to start preparing now—!"

Almost in the blink of an eye, he was gone.

Of course, this is not a problem for the nurses who have gone through many trainings and assessments. There is no need for Concubine Nala Shu to open their mouths, they have already caught up quickly and nimbly.

Concubine Nala Shu was dumbfounded.

It took a long time for her to come back to her senses, and she shook her head dumbfoundingly: "This child is really making a fuss."

Mother Guo was full of pride: "Master, little master is really smart! You can speak so many words and recognize so many words at the age of two, and you will definitely have a great future in the future!"

Concubine Nala Shu was also delighted from ear to ear.

She nodded with a smile: "As long as I can see Baoqing thrive, I can endure the loneliness of not being able to see him every day."

"Actually, master can also go to the Compassion Palace—"

"But..." Concubine Nala Shu sighed, "With Empress Empress and Zhalut Gege here, there is no place for my young master in the Compassionate Ning Palace."

Nanny Guo hesitated for a moment.

Then she took a step forward and whispered in her ear: "Master, I heard from people in the palace that the empress's midwife has been added two more people. It is said that Hesheli strongly requested it. Do you think Hesheli will do this? To make the Empress Dowager dissatisfied...so much so that the Empress Dowager has a rift against the Empress Empress...?"

Concubine Nala Shu took a deep breath.

She sat up straight, twisted her handkerchief and pondered for a while, but at the end she was genuinely confused: "What's wrong with the Hesheli family? These years, the empress dowager has been kind to the empress. They still can't see it." come out?"

I don't know how many concubines are envious and jealous.

But who told the empress to have been raised by the empress dowager for a period of time in the past, and had a close relationship with the two married princesses, this kind of relationship is really incomparable to others.

Only Zarut Gege received similar treatment.

It's not that no one is trying to encourage Zalutge to compete, but although she and the queen have similar education, their personalities can be described as completely different.

When it hits the queen, the queen usually gives a gentle education, punishes copying the scriptures, and re-examines; when it hits Zalutgege, it is a trivial matter to be ridiculed and ridiculed, and it is not an exaggeration to be slapped...

It's not that no one went to the empress dowager, the emperor, and the empress to complain that Zalutgege beat the concubine, but at this time everyone discovered that the biased eye was passed down in one continuous line.

The empress dowager is eccentric.

The emperor and queen are also eccentric.

Zhalut Gege had nothing to do, and was still a happy little princess in the Compassionate Ning Palace. As for the suing concubine who sued, she was very unlucky and was directly relegated to the palace lady, and then sent to Xiyuan to live temporarily.

And then?There's no after that.

After this battle, everyone in the palace knew that the empress and Zalutgege had a different position in the empress dowager's heart than the other concubines.

The more clearly she understood, the more confused Concubine Nalashu became.

Nanny Guo also felt the same way, hence the previous suggestion.

Concubine Nala cheered up.

She thought about it for a while, and then said seriously: "I'm afraid there are things we don't know about it! Before the queen gives birth, I should just go on as usual... No, it's better to be careful, pockets, clothes, food, etc. Don't give it away for now!"

Concubine Nala supported her forehead.

She had a severe headache: "From what Baoqing said earlier, he was always close to the empress. If there was something wrong with the fabric, sewing or even eating, the empress would touch her..."

Nanny Guo shuddered.

She sneered: "Slaves, do you want to inquire again?"

Concubine Nala Shu waved her hand: "There's no need to inquire any more... If my master's premonition is correct, I'm afraid there is something important hidden inside."

The same is true for the concubines in other palaces.

The Hershey's meddling in the matter of the queen's birth has attracted a lot of attention in the front and rear palaces, and soon rumors spread.

"It is said that the emperor intends to establish a crown prince!"

"Hiss - who is it?"

"Isn't that the one?"

"As expected of the empress's child, it's different from the others!"

"That's it!"

"The fourth elder brother is like a monkey every day, how can he compare to the queen's little elder brother!"

"Don't say that, the Empress Dowager still loves Brother Si very much."

"That's Empress Empress's little elder brother who hasn't been born yet, just wait and see? It will definitely fade away in the future."

Baoqing, who was holding a pile of leaves, paused.

He pursed his mouth, and the nanny rushed forward aggressively, grabbed two pale maids from behind the rockery, and immediately escorted them to the Punishment Division.

But this can't make Baoqing feel better.

He lost the mood to choose Ye Zi, and went back to the Compassion Ning Palace in a sullen mood.

Qiqige was chatting with the queen about precautions: "Your feet are a little swollen now, you should walk in moderation, sleep on your left side when you sleep at night, and raise your feet a bit higher when you sit like now. "

The queen listened carefully.

She was a little embarrassed to look at the legs on the chair: "That's it... not very elegant?"

"What are you afraid of? Anyone else dare to say that you can't do it?"

"This is also... Huh? Baoqing is here?" The queen answered obediently, and at the same time noticed the listless Baoqing.

Baoqing greeted Ann slowly.

He didn't act like a baby in Qiqige's arms as usual, nor did he go to the queen's side to try to touch the queen's belly, but he left with a gloomy face and a heavy heart.

Qiqige and the queen looked at each other.

Immediately, Qiqige called the nanny to come over and answer. The nanny looked at the queen, and hesitated to speak.

Obviously it's about me.

The queen frowned: "Tell me, I will never blame you."

Qiqige also nodded: "Let's talk."

The nanny then carefully said the matter, and almost as soon as she finished speaking, Qiqige and the queen all changed their expressions.

The news that the emperor intends to establish a prince is spread!

The prince and the prince are completely different concepts. From Qiqige who knows that the emperor has nearly 50 years to live, the prince is just a waste of time to be discarded, but it is completely different in the eyes of others.

Qiqige was annoyed, and at the same time worried about keeping her clean.

Although Qi Qige didn't understand why Yinti and Yinreng were tit-for-tat in history, they were brothers but became enemies who wanted to kill each other, but the attitude of the palace people must be one of the driving factors.

She turned her head to Tana and ordered: "Go to the Punishment Department, and you must ask where they got the news? Is someone encouraging them to talk nonsense in front of Baoqing?"

Tana responded respectfully, and immediately left the palace.

Qiqige comforted the queen again, and then walked towards the ear room where Baoqing lived.

Baoqing lives in the same house that Qian Min once lived in.

He threw all the leaves and flowers he had picked on the table, and threw his head under the quilt sullenly.Hearing the creaking sound of the door opening, Baoqing deliberately shrank into the quilt, shrinking into a quilt ball.

Qiqige was amused when she walked in.

He gently pushed the quilt dumpling, trying to fish out the little cutie inside.It's just that Baoqing huddles together and refuses to come out, and mutters: "My son is a monkey, he's not likable."

Qiqige laughed loudly: "Even if it is a monkey, it is also the cutest monkey in the world!"

"That's still a monkey!"

"What's the big deal about monkeys, Ai Jia wanted to be a panda before!"

"panda?"

"Yeah——" In the last life, who would not want to be a happy national treasure giant panda without worrying about eating and drinking?Qi Qige described in detail: "It looks black and white, round and fat, and holds bamboo every day."

"It's so pitiful, I can only eat bamboo." Baoqing was wrapped in a quilt, showing a small face, and there was a trace of pity in his dark eyes: "Baoqing eats meat every day."

"That's right, Baoqing eats meat every day, don't you like braised pork?" Qiqige smiled, "But pandas can also eat meat, right!"

Qiqige blinked narrowly: "Pandas can still eat pots."

Baoqing's eyes widened, his small mouth was wide open, and most of his body poked out from under the quilt: "Eat, eat the pot!? Huang Mama is a lie, right?"

"Really, it's not a lie!" Qiqige nodded thoughtfully, "Pandas are also iron eaters. It is said that they will sneak into farmers' houses and eat their pots!"

Just thinking about it, Bao Qing felt his teeth ache.

When his little face was wrinkled into a ball, Qiqige reached out and fished Baoqing out of the quilt.

Baoqing wanted to crawl in, but was held back by her again.

In the end, Baoqing could only be held by Qiqige, Qiqige poked his cheek: "Why is Baoqing unhappy? Could it be that you believed what those scoundrels said? Woohoo, Huang Mama looks so unworthy of protection." Do you believe it?"

At the end, Qiqige pretended to cry a few times.

Baoqing waved his hands again and again: "No—it's just..."

Qiqige asked: "What is it?"

Bao Qing nestled in Huang Mama's arms, his eyes couldn't stop turning red: "Huang Mama."

"Ok?"

"Is it possible that Huang Mamo will dislike me after having a younger brother..."

"how come?"

"But they, they all said—

"So what if they all talk?" Qiqige pinched Baoqing's chubby cheeks, "Tomorrow, please invite some of your royal uncles to talk with you, okay? Let's see if Empress Huang Erniang treats them differently?"

Qiqige is no longer what she used to be.

Today's Qiqige is already a qualified Duanshui master.With the superb methods formed by her own raising Kangxi, Fuquan, Changning, Qishou, Longxi, Yongqian, Duanmin and Gongxi, Qiqige still can't manage to keep a little girl safe?

Seeing the certainty of Huang Mama's words, Baoqing felt a little relieved.

He put up his little finger and hooked it on Qiqige's fingertips: "Then... we made an agreement?"

Qiqige smiled and nodded.

She also hooked her finger up: "It's an agreement! Huang Mama will treat everyone equally, and at the same time, Baoqing must be a good brother and protect his younger siblings!"

Keep your head clear.

He shook his fingers vigorously, and cheered happily: "Grandson will be a good brother!"

Children's emotions come and go quickly.

The recovered Baoqing jumped up happily again, working hard at the table.

"what is this?"

"This is a gift for my younger siblings!"

"Baoqing is awesome!" Although Qiqige couldn't understand, she would applaud!

The news that the emperor intends to confer the title of prince quickly spread.

Undercurrents are raging inside and outside the palace, and the concubines can't express their sourness, and there are many powerful people outside the palace who have regrets.

The Forbidden City is like a pool of deep water.

The surface is still calm, but in fact, an undercurrent has emerged. I don’t know how many people from the Eight Banners secretly gathered to discuss this matter.

The interrogation of the two maids soon came to a result, and it was not surprising that it was triggered by the movement of Hesheli's house.I heard that a junior of the Hesheli family boasted about the glory and future of the Hesheli family after being drunk, and then it was spread by those around.

Qiqige's face turned blue.

She was very angry and laughed back: "It's really not enough to achieve success, but more than failure!"

The empress dowager was also angry.

The matter of dealing with the palace people in the past few times came first, and according to the usual procedures, a few palace people with bad mouths were soon found out in the palace, and two people who secretly passed on the news were caught from the imperial dining room.

Of course there is Kunning Palace.

Fortunately, the palace rules were strict, and the empress was very strict in control. Except for the expelled mother Zhaojia who passed on the news, the ups and downs were basically like iron buckets, and no problems were found.

The queen also specially sent a message back.

Her words were sharp and fierce: "...If the glory of the Hesheli depends on me or the children in my womb, why not just resign from office and go home to take care of yourselves, uncles? Make people laugh?"

Of course Hershey dared not speak.

Including Suo'etu, everyone is honest and dedicated to doing things in the court, and we must not let the matter of relying on women to honor the lintel come true!

Of course, this cannot be assured.

Qiqige was vigilant, and even the female doctor, midwife and even the family members of many palace people were protected, strictly preventing anyone from buying, bribery or even threatening.

In addition to removing possible external risks, at the same time, Qiqige did not forget to continue to urge the queen to continue to exercise.

She was allowed to wander around the palace for two cups of tea every day, and the meal was even more special, requiring the female doctor to watch the preparation in person, which has achieved the goal of adequate nutrition.

The atmosphere in the harem is tense, and the court hall is becoming more and more restless.

In March of the 13th year of Kangxi, Geng Jing, King of Jingnan, rebelled against him.

In response to Wu Sangui and Geng Jingzhong, officers of the general army in Jiangxi, Zhejiang and other places chose to set up rebel flags one after another. For a while, the entire territory of Fujian, and most of Jiangxi and Zhejiang were occupied.

In April of the 13th year of Kangxi.

Cai Lu, the commander-in-chief of Hebei Province, had an affair with Yang Laijia and conspired against the Qing Dynasty.

For a time, most of the Central Plains fell.

In just three months, Kangxi lost a lot of weight.

Even before Kangxi could catch his breath, there was news of the frequent invasion of the Raksha Kingdom at the border. Chang Ning, who had already been named Prince Gong, asked to go to the border. He was good at Raksha Mandarin, and he was determined to personally investigate the situation of the Raksha Kingdom and solve the border issues. fighting.

Kangxi was actually not at ease.

It's just that Wu Sangui, Geng Jingzhong and others' battles have already made him burnt out, so he reluctantly told Chang Ning a few words, and then agreed to Chang Ning's proposal.

This trip is not a year or two, maybe it will take four or five years.

Qiqige is worried about the queen on one side, but she is parting from Chang Ning on the other.She looked at the flickering Chang Ning, thousands of words came to her lips, and only one sentence remained: "Take care of everything."

Chang Ning smiled: "My son knows."

Qiqige sighed softly, and said again: "I'll let you Fujin enter the palace to accompany your mother-in-law more."

Chang Ning smiled and said yes.

Compared with Kangxi and Fuquan's smooth marriage, the relationship between Changning and Fujin can only be said to be mediocre, or it is normal for them to be like this.

Qiqige also regretted it.

It's just that the custom of blind marriage and dumb marriage wants to be changed. I'm afraid it's not something that happens after women of this era have progressed.

In this age of war, it is useless to say that.

Qiqige put regret in her heart, and planned to start the plan slowly after two years.She sent off Prince Gong Fuquan who had gone away, and put all her thoughts on the queen again.

The queen's due date is getting closer.

Mrs. Zhao, who is good at reincarnation techniques, carefully checked the queen's stomach every day, while the other two female doctors watched and studied, while taking the queen's pulse and checking the child's condition.

Qiqige did not forget to read it once a day.

The queen's body is very healthy, and everything seems to be going well.

On the night of the second day of May in the 13th year of Kangxi, Qi Qige, who had not slept for a long time, was awakened by a palace maid.

Qiqige woke up sleepy.

She yawned: "What—"

The maid said urgently: "The Empress has activated!"

Qiqige's drowsiness disappeared in an instant, she sat up quickly, washed up as quickly as possible, and prepared to go to Kunning Palace with the palace staff.

As soon as Qiqige walked to the door, she suddenly found two sedan chairs waiting outside.Who else but myself?Of course it is the Empress Dowager!In this era, there are no blood pressure-lowering drugs, let alone blood-sugar-lowering drugs. The body of the Empress Dowager is maintained entirely by traditional Chinese medicine and diet.

Stay up late and don't sleep, I'm afraid the blood pressure will explode tomorrow!

Qiqige's eyelids twitched, and she hurriedly stopped the Empress Dowager: "Emperor Mother? What are you going to do in the middle of the night? Go back and rest quickly!"

"Of course Ai's family has to go and have a look."

"The queen is the first child, and it is normal within five hours. What are you doing so early? Just go and watch!" Qiqige replied decisively, and together with Su Mala, the empress dowager was taken away again. Send it back to the palace.

It wasn't until seeing that the Empress Dowager was really lying down that Qiqige turned around and rushed to Kunning Palace.

The Kunning Palace was brightly lit.

The palace people looked serious and came and went in a hurry, and it was Dagong actress Chu who came forward to meet her.While she couldn't hide her worry on her face, she still introduced the current situation in an orderly manner: "Master, you have time to have a cup of tea when you go in, and everything is fine now."

Kangxi was waiting inside.

Kangxi's eyes were black and blue, and he dozed off with his head on his head.

He didn't sleep at all, and he has been writing the memorial until now.

Even sitting in the Kunning Palace, he did not forget to read the two memorials.

Too sleepy, the body flickered and fell to the ground.

He slowly wanted to pick it up with his hands, but was stopped by Qiqige, put all of them aside, and ordered Liang Jiugong: "Fuhuang, go to the second room and lie down for a while."

"My son...haven't finished watching yet."

"Let's see tomorrow." Qiqige coldly refused.

"My son, guard the queen and take a look."

"There's Queen Mother here, why don't you worry about it?" Qiqige sneered, and then looked at Kangxi with a half-smile: "Or are you worried?"

Although Kangxi was so sleepy that he stared in a daze, his instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages was still there.

He froze in place, hesitating for a moment.

Then he nodded obediently under Qiqige's increasingly hostile eyes, and let Liang Jiugong lead him away.

It looked rather cute.

After confirming that Kangxi had gone to rest, Qiqige raised the curtain and looked into the delivery room.

There are large scarlet letters on the queen.

Qiqige's heart was suddenly raised to the highest point, and then slowly fell back.

Well, it's a normal situation for pregnant women.

Qiqige retreated to her seat with peace of mind, she listened to the movement inside, and twirled the Buddhist beads in her hand for peace of mind.

The queen is primiparous.

It is normal for primiparas to have about five hours, and it will be about morning from now.Qiqige rested her cheeks to estimate the time, lifted the curtain from time to time to look at the situation inside, and at the same time told people to make fish soup and broth to send in, so as to replenish water and nutrition for the queen.

The queen is in high spirits.

Qiqige watched it five or six times in a row, but she didn't see any abnormal scarlet letters on the queen's body.

The originally anxious mood gradually calmed down.

Suddenly, Qiqige inexplicably felt that perhaps the queen had already survived the catastrophe of her fate.

After all, the queens in history experienced the death of their eldest son, and then became seriously ill, and their health has always been poor. However, the queen in front of her can run five laps around the Kunning Palace without any problem, and even if she is pregnant, she can walk two or three laps. circle of people.

The more Qiqige thought about it, the more relieved she became.

After relaxing, I feel hungry for no reason.

Qiqige took advantage of the situation and made people have breakfast.

When Kangxi hurriedly got up from the second room, he could even have a bowl of hot chicken noodle soup.

Of course, the Queen also drank a large bowl of chicken soup.

Qiqige gave Kangxi a list of dish names like a few treasures—all of which were eaten in front of the queen. Kangxi was still annoyed that he didn't stay outside, but after listening to the list of dish names, he immediately calmed down.

The queen's appetite is better than mine!

Kangxi inexplicably lost his previous worries, so it must be all right for the empress to come, right?

Besides, there is also the Queen Mother here!

Thinking of this, Kangxi happily finished eating the noodles, and strode towards the Qianqing Palace with his head held high.

I can't admit defeat either!
