Kangxi's 13 years passed quickly, and the end of the year came in the blink of an eye.Except that the birth of Baocheng brought a lot of laughter to the palace, there was almost no other good news this year.

Most of the celebrations for the year were cancelled, and Kangxi, who was so busy, had a little more free time at the end of the year, so he thought about how to let everyone relax.

It's just that whether it's the national treasury or the private treasury, it's already so tense that one copper plate is broken into two flowers, let alone set aside some money for celebrating the New Year.

Kangxi couldn't hide his guilt.

When he found the Kunning Palace, he originally wanted to confide bitterness with the queen, but when he saw the simple velvet flowers on the queen's head and the simple and plain clothes, his eyes turned red and he almost shed tears.

The queen was taken aback by the emperor's appearance.

She couldn't help laughing: "Baocheng will sit down, the emperor shouldn't be so shocked, right?"

Kangxi became even more excited: "Huh? Baocheng will sit down!?"

He raised his eyes and looked forward, only to see Baocheng, who was wearing a thick padded jacket and wrapped into a ball, was sitting steadily on the couch, his eyes shining like black pearls were looking at him curiously.

Kangxi approached cheerfully, mouth shut from ear to ear.

Instead, he put the sad things in his heart behind him, and looked up and down at Baocheng, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

See you last time... or last time.

Although Kangxi couldn't recall the last time he saw Baocheng, he was still full of love.

Kangxi sat crookedly on the couch, and put his son on his knees. He was a little surprised by the solid weight. Kangxi looked his son up and down together, then turned his head to the queen and smiled: "I can't see, Baocheng's weight is quite It's really heavy, look at the cheeks are almost drooping."

Baocheng was furious: "Ah woo woo!"

He dug Kangxi with his ass, and escaped from Kangxi's knee with an excellent rolling posture.

Kangxi lost his meaty son.

He was disappointed for a while, and then confused, and looked at the queen pitifully: "What's the matter?"

The queen leaned back happily: "Baoqing said earlier that he was a little fat, but Baocheng has been angry until now, and whoever says he is fat, he will be in a hurry with whoever!"

Baocheng waved his fists.

Kangxi couldn't help laughing: "What does Baoqing know? Come—Baocheng, let Khan Ama hug you? The child has to be fatter!"

Baocheng rolled and fled the scene.

Kangxi: ... Lost.

But at the same time he had a new idea.

Kangxi looked at Baocheng proudly: "Look at Baocheng, how healthy! How strong!"

Speaking of this, Kangxi was also moved in his heart.

The thoughts before Baocheng's birth came to his mind again.

The queen remembered Kangxi's teary eyes just now.

She was curious: "Since the emperor is not excited about Baocheng's meeting, what is it for?"

Kangxi came to his senses and coughed lightly.

He scratched his cheek in embarrassment, glanced at the velvet flower on the queen's head, and then sighed: "The queen has suffered a lot since she followed me."

Queen: "... huh?"

What nonsense did the emperor suddenly say?The queen looked suspicious, and almost wanted to touch Kangxi's forehead with her hand, to see if Kangxi was in a coma.

Only then did the queen notice Kangxi's gaze, and she touched the velvet flower on top of her head along the line of sight. She was quite happy: "This is the velvet flower researched by my concubine and concubine Nala. Is it beautiful?"

"Good-looking is good-looking...that's just..." Kangxi's brows and eyes were soft, and the facial features of the queen were depicted in his eyes.The queen of her own family should have decorated it with jewelry and jade, but in the past few years after marrying into the palace, she hasn't made any new jewelry items, not to mention, even the original dowry has disappeared a lot.

Kangxi felt sour in his heart.

The queen finally saw what the emperor was thinking, she pursed her lips and said with a smile: "When the treasury and private treasury are full, the emperor will make something for the concubines, the emperor's mama and the emperor's mother."

That's natural.

Before Kangxi could make a promise, the queen had already changed the subject, talking about the empress dowager and the empress dowager.

The national treasury and the private treasury are clinking poorly, and with the support of the Empress Dowager, Qi Qige also started to plan carefully and carefully.Qiqige first donated all the money in her dowry makeup box and press box, not to mention, she was still dressed plainly, frugally, and at the same time called on many concubines to join the farming brigade to experience the hardships of the people and grow melons at the same time Fruit and vegetable taste.

Kangxi was taken aback when he heard that.

He couldn't help being shocked: "Even the concubine came to participate?"

In the past, only toffees did it occasionally.

The queen nodded cheerfully: "Those who love weaving and embroidery can study weaving and embroidery, study woolen fabrics, and some people like...eating, but they prefer to farm together. Of course, if you don't like farming, planting flowers and plants is also a good adjustment."

Anyway, the emperor does not enter the harem.

The concubines were so free that they were almost digging their feet in the palace, and the queen's suggestion was quite popular with everyone.

At least I can go to the Garden of Compassionate Peace Palace to play, how nice!

Kangxi thought about it, but still looked a little strange: "All the concubines are willing?"

The queen smiled.

Of course, there are those who are unwilling. For example, the queen heard a concubine of the Li family in the harem complain: "The life is not like being in the palace, and it is even more tense than at home. Others say that entering the palace is a blessing, but if I ask you The person who came to be tossed, roughed up my hands and tanned my skin, who is to blame for this?"

Some people are willing to give some strength as much as I can.

Some people don't want to... It's normal, the empress didn't mention the name, but just changed the topic lightly: "Nowadays, the war is tense, are there people outside the palace affected by the disaster?"

Kangxi saw what the queen meant.

He took this matter to the bottom of his heart and changed the subject accordingly: "The situation is better than I expected. The production of potatoes and corn planted in the past few years has increased greatly, especially corn, which can be said to be planted anywhere. In their spare time, the frontline soldiers also teach the common people to grow and eat, and the output is enough to fill people's stomachs."

The queen was surprised.

Kangxi smiled even stronger: "There is also the technique of artificially incubating eggs, which can be used on chickens, ducks and geese. The number of chickens, ducks and geese has also increased greatly, and ordinary eggs can also be sold in time. Now every household has chickens to keep. Eggs, the price of eggs has also dropped a lot, even if you can't afford meat, you can still eat eggs."

There is enough food and eggs.

The officers and soldiers in Zhili, the capital city, and even the people farther away can fill their stomachs, and there is no hunger disaster. It doesn't seem to be a big problem to think about it for a few more years.

"Of course—" Kangxi changed the topic: "No problem, but it doesn't mean there will be no problems. I think the war will last for a year or two. I'm afraid the epidemic will recur, so we can save more food."

The queen also nodded.

The more wars, the more epidemics, the more epidemics, the more victims, the more victims... Maybe a small mistake can cause a collapse effect.

Kangxi got a bad headache when he thought about it.

He waved his hand, not mentioning these things for now: "Speaking of this year's New Year——"

The queen answered with a smile: "The concubine will hold a small banquet in the palace to celebrate one or two, and save the rest for the generals to return after a big victory, shall we celebrate?"

Kangxi was slightly stunned, and then chuckled: "Then I have to work hard."

With the consent of the emperor, the queen prepared the family banquet in an orderly manner.

Since it was a New Year's banquet, it should be held in the Compassionate Ning Palace.It's just that you have to go to the theater in the morning, and it's not solemn enough to watch a movie in the Compassionate Ning Palace, but it's unavoidably annoying to go to the big theater building behind the Imperial Garden in the heavy snow.

When everyone was in a dilemma, Qiqige thought of a good place.She smiled and suggested, "How about Shou'an Palace?"

The Shouan Palace is located behind the Compassion Palace, and it is also very close to the Sixth Palace.In the past, it was requisitioned by Qiqige and the princes and princesses to play and play, and it was repaired after it collapsed in the earthquake. Although it looks brand new and bright, it is really vacant and useless.

The queen thought about it carefully.

Soon her brows and eyes widened, and she nodded with a smile: "What the Queen Mother said is that this is indeed a good place!"

After several consecutive heavy snowfalls, it was New Year's Eve.

The concubines followed the queen to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to pay their respects, and then came Princess Gongxi and Princess Heshun who lived in the capital, Prince Yu Fujin, Prince Gong Fujin and the princes Fujin.

Qiqige scanned around and sighed slightly.

There were two people missing and a few more people.

The few ones are Princess Joo Chia and Princess Kechun.

The former died of illness, and when Qiqige found out, she was already cold, while the latter was imprisoned in Kangxi's palace, and she didn't even plan to let her out for such a big event as the New Year's Banquet.

The reason, of course, is Wu Shifan, the legitimate son who fled.

After Wu Sangui rebelled, Wu Yingxiong and his second son Wu Shilin were arrested in the capital, but his eldest son had disappeared for several days.

Wu Yingxiong attributed all the responsibility to himself, and said that Princess Kechun didn't know about it.But the eldest son hasn't been seen for a long time, so Princess Kechun really doesn't know all the goings-on in the mansion?Never asked the servants of the palace to ask?Didn't even hand over a letter to the palace?

Not to mention that the emperor didn't believe it, neither the empress dowager nor Qiqige could believe Kechun's words, thinking that she was the flesh and blood of the first emperor, the emperor's sister, and finally chose to confine her and her second son in the palace.

Most of them are the prince Fujin.

Qishou and Longxi have reached the age of marriage, and now there is only one bachelor in the palace, Yonggan.Looking at the daughters-in-law with different appearances, Qiqige felt that she had changed a bit.

"Huang Mama, Huang Mama!"

"..." That's right, they are all called grandma.Qiqige responded with tears in her eyes at the same time, and caught Baoqing who was flying forward.

Baoqing, who is almost three years old, is as strong as a calf.

He aggrievedly grabbed Qiqige's lapel: "Huang Mama, Uzhina is bullying her grandson."

Uzhina was aggrieved.

A smile flashed across Qiqige's eyes: "Where did Uzhina bully you?"

Baoqing grabbed the hem of his clothes.

He glared at Uzhina angrily: "Huang Mama looked at her grandson's cloak, and Uzhina actually put a little white rabbit on her grandson!"

Baoqing was wearing a snow-white hooded cloak, with long ears sewn into the hat, which he flicked with Baoqing's movements.Not only that, there is a small tail behind the cloak, Baoqing is wearing such a dress, looking at it is like a soft ball, so naive, so cute that it makes people want to scream.

Qiqige nodded solemnly: "That's right."

Satisfied, Baoqing smiled happily, cupping her cheeks and intending to see how Huang Mama educates Uzhina.

Qiqige pointed to the tail behind: "It's a mistake here."

She explained seriously: "The rabbit's tail looks short, but it's actually not short at all!"

The queen looked shocked: "Is that so?"

Qiqige nodded thoughtfully, and even ordered the servants to fetch a rabbit to check it out.

Baoqing: …………?
