[Qing Chuan] The Empress Dowager Raising Cubs Daily

Everyone is in high spirits.

They forgot the hunger in their stomachs, and started a new round of tossing full of fighting spirit.

In addition to the delicious fish soup, the guards also hunted several pheasants and hares.Peel the skin and remove the internal organs, then skewer it on an iron rack, put it on the stove, and bake it until it is browned and crispy, and the aroma is tangy.

Some guards even found some wild fruits.

The tempting little berries don't have their own names, but they are equally sweet and delicious. Pounding them into a puree and adding a little salt can amplify their sweetness, and it's delicious to smear them on barbecue.

While drinking fish soup, eating barbecue.

Whether it's Qiqige, the queen, or the little princesses, all of them look very satisfied.

To say that happiness is like a fairy is nothing more than that, right?

After eating their stomachs and round their waists, everyone sat or stood comfortably, or walked along the stream to blow the cool breeze to digest food.

Immediately afterwards, everyone remembered the matter of changing clothes. After all, they were so dirty that they couldn't see people. Many little princesses felt that if they continued like this, they might be mixed into beggars.

It's a pity that their behavior of approaching the carriage step by step was stopped by the empress dowager again, Qiqige said with a smile: "Should we change when we go back?"

Everyone's pupils trembled.

This means - no, no, no, no?Again?

Even Ling Yi was complaining: "Mama Huang, I'm full, now it's time to take a nap..."

Qiqige glared at her: "Nonsense, the official start is now!"

Everyone's eyes went dark.

But Qiqige is full of energy - of course she will come!

After finally coming out for a trip, it's over like this?Is that possible?Even if you think about it, you know it's impossible!Absolutely impossible!

Qiqige looked at the sluggish little Gege, stretched out her hand and poked her forehead one by one: "It's still early, you guys work harder."

Everyone was depressed: "...Yes."

After resting for a while, Qiqige immediately gave orders: "Get ready to go."

Lingyi and Xiaogege all agreed.

They stood up one after another and walked towards the carriage, but they were stopped by the empress dowager again halfway.Qiqige was full of doubts: "What are you doing there? For the rest of the road, we have to walk up with both feet."

Ling Yi's almond-shaped eyes widened: "Go, walk!?"

Qiqige nodded affirmatively: "You can't take a carriage for the rest of the journey, you should spray the insect repellant immediately, we are about to set off."

Ling Yi looked at the queen in disbelief, and got a positive answer from the queen.Her whole body was not well, looking at the green mountains and green waters in the distance, she suddenly had an ominous premonition.

The eyes of the students lost their light, and their faces turned pale.

They obediently agreed, followed the empress dowager with heavy steps, and walked up the mountain along the path.

At first it was a tree-lined trail.

A group of people walked slowly along the not-so-narrow road, and the breeze with the smell of earth rushed towards them. The chirping of insects and birds around them became clearer and brighter, and occasionally monkeys could be seen jumping over the top of the branches.

Everyone's footsteps were relaxed, and the stops and stops were very leisurely.

The previous tension and worry gradually faded away, and the little princesses gradually showed smiles, chattering in twos and threes, talking about flowers and plants they had never seen before.

Only Lingyi, Zhenzhen and Sichun looked serious.

Knowing the horror of Huang Mama deeply, they felt that it was impossible to go to this level. Sure enough, such a relaxing journey only took about two cups of tea, and then they changed the road and took a narrower mountain road.

The mountain road is said to be a road, but in fact it is just a trail used by the mountain people to chop firewood. In the narrow place, only one person can walk up the mountain ridge.

Even the trees gradually became fewer.

The western sun shone unscrupulously on everyone, and everyone was sweating profusely.They don't know where the end of the mountain road is, so they can only grit their teeth and walk forward step by step.The sweat of the students slid from their foreheads, along their cheeks, and fell on the skirts of their necks one by two.

They took the handkerchief and wiped it randomly a few times, gritted their teeth and continued to walk up. No one knew where the empress dowager planned to go.

But the empress dowager is still leaving!

All the students had no choice but to grit their teeth and work hard.

Qiqige was also exhausted.

After decades of living a pampered life in the Forbidden City, climbing mountains was almost physical work for her.

Even Qiqige wanted to give up halfway through.

But she turned around and looked at the child who was still insisting behind her, Qiqige shook her head secretly.

Even the kids didn't give up.

She must also be ready to take the lead and climb to the top of the mountain in one go!

The two groups of people did not expect that their brain circuits were connected to the wrong signal, no one complained of suffering, no one complained of being tired, and they both tried their best to move forward.

Then they went to the top.

In front of them was a stunning scene—they were surrounded by clouds and mist, and there was a cliff in front of them, and there was an abyss that could not see the bottom.

The large clouds slid past lightly, and at the same time brought a shadow to the forest below, making people think that they were stepping on the clouds.

This is just the beginning.

It took them more than an hour to climb to the top of the mountain, from the afternoon until the sunset.

The white clouds were gradually dyed crimson, and finally turned into burning clouds all over the sky. The color of unbridled enthusiasm filled the sky and the earth, and even himself and the people around him were covered with a layer of golden-red glow.

This is the beauty they have seen for the first time in their lives.

Everyone was breathless, staring at everything in front of them intently.

If the younger Gege is still a little ignorant, the older Gege can't help but have a thought at this moment: If they didn't come to the women's school, would they be able to see such a scene?

I'm afraid...it's impossible, right?

At this moment, there was a wave of waves in their peaceful hearts, and strands of different feelings arose in their hearts.Thinking of the poems they learned in the past two days, the students were in a daze for a moment. The poets in history have traveled all over the world. What about them?

Just... Do you want to stay in the yard all the time?

Just... want to keep looking at that little patch of sky?

They raised their heads subconsciously, looked at the boundless sky, and suddenly had some hesitation.

Qiqige noticed the changes in their expressions.

If the young Gege is a blank canvas waiting for everyone to paint, then these older Gege are craft canvases made on the assembly line, or the kind that will be put into photo frames.

The painter with the pen is numb and indifferent.

They stubbornly believe that the painting has been completed, and there is no need to modify any color or shape, just waiting to be put into the photo frame that also comes out of the assembly line.

How difficult it is to change.

Looking at the thoughtful expressions of the children, Qiqige smiled slightly.She doesn't ask everyone to wake up quickly, but she hopes to plant a small seed in their hearts, and one day this seed will be able to germinate and grow vigorously.

The sunset gradually faded, and the moon shyly revealed its face among the clouds.It seemed that in the blink of an eye, the whole world was shrouded in darkness. The guards quickly lit torches and led the crowd down the mountain.

I have to go all over again! ?

Just thinking about it, everyone's eyes went dark, but looking at the pitch-black surroundings, if they don't leave...how is that possible!They didn't have the courage to stay in the dark mountain for one night. The students gathered together like ducklings and followed the guards slowly down the mountain.

After only taking two steps, everyone was slightly taken aback.

The path they took was not the one they originally took, it was much, much smoother.

Um?The students' minds went blank for a moment.

The first one to wake up was Ling Yi, her cheeks were flushed with anger: "Huang Mama! How can this happen? There is a gentle road, but you have to climb the exhausting mountain road..."

Qiqige sneered: "Exercising..."

Ling Yi pulled the corner of the Queen's robe and complained: "Mother Huang Er, you are talking about the Empress Mama, what kind of exercise is this... It's just deliberately tormenting people."

Qiqige lowered her voice: "...That's not true."

Lingyi wanted to complain again, but her mouth was covered by Qiqige: "Shhh—"

The guards put out the torches.

It was pitch black all around, and the little Grids were trembling with fright, looking ahead nervously.

Could it be... what happened?

Ling Yi couldn't help but began to tremble, until she saw a little bit of light.

The dots of light gradually brightened and converged into a band of light.

They merge with the Milky Way starlight on a summer night and dance around everyone.

Qiqige held her breath and stretched out her fingertips.

A chubby figure stopped at her fingertips, and the green light flickered.

Obviously bugs are scary.

But if it was a firefly...it wouldn't be scary at all.

Ling Yi stretched out her hand to catch one.

Mingming opened her palm and danced unscrupulously around her fingertips, but when she wanted to catch it, the firefly flickered again and deftly escaped from her fingers.

Ling Yi pouted.

Qiqige chuckled: "It's best to let them be free."

After walking a little farther, the guards lit the torches again after the fireflies disappeared, and hurried down the mountain along the path.

This time it is really time to go home.

The little princesses were also sleepy, and after getting into the carriage, they leaned against each other and fell asleep in the gentle rocking of the carriage.

By the second day, everyone was grinning.

Qiqige and Queen are no exception.

If the queen could at least stand upright, Qiqige just got down on the ground.Lying on the bed, she felt that her waist and legs were not her own anymore, and they were so painful that they were kneaded.

The empress dowager came after hearing the news.

She was both angry and funny: "I didn't come back until so late yesterday, and my whole body was so sore... You are 40 years old now!"

In this era when 60 years old can be considered an advanced age, 40 years old is also the age at which people can be called ancestors outside.

Qiqige dared to run to climb the mountain.

The Empress Dowager had a dark face, and complained angrily: "Why are you getting younger and younger?"

Qiqige still has time to talk back: "My son is in a good mood—oh!"

The Empress Dowager punched Qiqige's leg.

Qiqige almost foamed at the mouth, her face twisted into a ball, hers gasping for air.

The empress dowager smiled, "What are you talking about?"

Qiqige struggled and continued to complain: "Emperor Niang...you hit someone!"

Empress Dowager was expressionless: "Yes, I learned from you."

Qiqige felt that her heart had been stabbed heavily by an arrow, and she covered her face and wept: "Emperor Niang doesn't love Erchen anymore."

The empress dowager's complexion was dull.

She even squeezed her fist and looked at Qiqige with a kind heart: "Did you see this fist?"

Besides, I will beat you again.
