[Qing Chuan] The Empress Dowager Raising Cubs Daily

The mournful bell echoed over the capital for a long time.

The concubines in the Buddhist hall of the Compassionate Ning Palace stopped their movements, and raised their eyes to look into the distance in unison, with a ray of sadness floating on their faces.

Even though the vast majority of people have only met Empress Dowager Cihe a few times, they can't help but feel a sense of sympathy at this moment.

Not to mention Xiao Kangxi.

He lay on the body of Empress Dowager Cihe, little Kangxi couldn't stop the sadness in his heart anymore, and burst into tears.

The cloud of Emperor Shunzhi's death had just dissipated, and the Forbidden City was once again shrouded in the shadow of Empress Dowager Cihe's death.

Little Kangxi lost his father and mother in more than a year. No matter how mature he is, he is just a child who is not even ten years old. It is distressed and angry.

The same is true today.

Liang Jiugong led the little eunuch out of the palace, shaking his head worriedly: "The emperor still refuses to eat."

Eunuch Gu frowned: "Old servant, come and try."

As a servant of Emperor Shunzhi, and also took care of Xiao Kangxi who had acne, Eunuch Gu, the consultant line, was very respectable in front of Xiao Kangxi.

Liang Jiugong breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately lifted up the tray to hand it to Eunuch Gu, but to everyone's surprise, Qi Qige took a quick step and reached out to take the tray over.

"Empress Dowager, this is—"

"Ai's family goes in personally." Qiqige said with a cold face, not to be questioned.Immediately afterwards, she ordered Eunuch Gu and others to stand guard outside, and signaled her assistants Fu Quan and Duan Min to open the door, and the three walked in aggressively.

"Eunuch Gu, this..."

"...Let's stay on guard outside." Eunuch Gu shook his head, stood silently at the door, and at the same time listened to the sound inside.

Qiqige stepped into it.

Little Kangxi was the only one in the mourning hall, kneeling on the soft cushion with his back straight. He didn't seem to notice anyone coming in behind him at all, kneeling silently, his eyes vacant.

Qiqige gasped.

Not only her, but Fuquan and Princess Duanmin were also frightened.After all, little Kangxi was so thin that his clothes looked empty.

Qiqige gritted her teeth.

She put the tray in Fuquan's hand, and strode forward to Xiao Kangxi.Qiqige pressed Xiao Kangxi's shoulders tightly with both hands, her voice trembling slightly: "Xuan Ye."

Qiqige usually doesn't call Xiao Kangxi's name.

Even so, Xiao Kangxi remained indifferent, his dark eyes seemed to lose focus, and he stared blankly into the distance.

The whole heart seemed to go with Tong Shi.

Qiqige took a long breath, and then she raised her hand. Under the shocking eyes of Fuquan and Princess Duanmin, Qiqige grabbed Little Kangxi's cheeks and pulled them to both sides.

The feel of the cheek meat is also not as good as before.

Qiqige exerted force with her hands, seeing that her face was about to deform, Xiao Kangxi finally came back to her senses.With tears in his eyes, he grinned and muttered: "It hurts, it hurts—"

"Do you still know it hurts?" Qiqige asked back in surprise, and clapped her hands pretendingly: "Aijia thought that the emperor had become an iron man, and he didn't even need to eat or drink water to survive. , what else do you need to react?"

"..." Little Kangxi said nothing.

"Since you wake up, let's eat first." Qiqi Genunu said, Fuquan and Princess Duanmin brought the meal immediately.

During the period of keeping filial piety, all things are mainly vegetables and beans.

In addition, Xiao Kangxi hadn't eaten food for several days, and the dining room prepared all digestible meals, such as a cup of black rice and red bean porridge cooked until thick, several pickles, and other tender bamboo shoots stewed until soft. , fried tofu crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and crisp and refreshing cold lettuce.

Little Kangxi lacked appetite.

Princess Duanmin took out a magic weapon: emerald green pea cake.Duan Min introduced in detail: "The taste is delicate, and the Queen Mother specially added more sugar to the dining room, and there are berries in it. The sweet and sour taste is very delicious."

It must be the taste that Xiao Kangxi likes.

Surprisingly, Xiao Kangxi, a star of sweets, remained indifferent.

Qiqige had no choice but to use the second method. She signaled with a look, and saw that Fuquan quickly held Xiao Kangxi down, and Duanmin stuffed Xiao Kangxi with a snack, performing a live performance of a bully bowing hard.

Little Kangxi tried to struggle.

It's just that he hadn't had food or water for many days, and he was already so weak that he was easily crushed to the ground. At most, he blushed and panted, and angrily shouted: "Bold!"

If it is a court lady and eunuch, it will take a step back.

If it were Fuquan and Duanmin, they didn't show any fear at all, and they were even more enthusiastic.Duan Min even yelled loudly: "Sister, I'll just do that. Brother Huang, what do you want to do? Just resist if you have the ability?"

Little Kangxi blushed with anger.

He was powerless to resist but there were other ways. Little Kangxi's teeth were clenched, and he was determined not to take a bite.

You don't necessarily want to break Xiao Kangxi's mouth, right?

Now Fuquan and Duanmin were a little bit embarrassed, they both looked at Qiqige.

Qiqige shook her head.

Why do you still have to do it yourself in the end?She took a step forward, holding little Kangxi's face: "Xuan Ye."

Little Kangxi was shocked.

The Queen Mother never called her name, so the sudden change made him feel a little overwhelmed.Little Kangxi raised his head slightly, and stared blankly at Qiqige.

"Don't forget what your mother-in-law said."

"Emiang... what you said..." Xiao Kangxi repeated in a low voice.

"She is most grateful and the luckiest thing is to have you."

"Have you ever thought that if you get sick because of your mother's death, even... even if your mother's spirit is in the sky, you will not be able to rest in peace." Qiqige said in a low voice.

Little Kangxi's face was pale.

Qiqige hugged Xiao Kangxi lightly, she sighed softly: "Mothers all over the world have the same thoughts in their hearts, Xuan Ye, only when you are well can your mother-in-law feel relieved."

"Er Niang... Er Niang..."

"Xuan Ye, do you know? One has to die three times in a lifetime." Qi Qige originally wanted to tell Xiao Kangxi that Tong's family would turn into a star in the sky and watch him all the time.

But little Kangxi is no ordinary child.

She temporarily changed what she wanted to say, Qiqige hugged Xiao Kangxi tightly, and whispered in his ear: "The first time, it was when the heartbeat stopped and the breath disappeared."

"The second time was at the funeral."

"The third time is the last person in this world who remembers and forgets her."①

Qiqige's eyes were slightly moist.

She said the last words: "Although your mother has left, the good times you have experienced will not dissipate, and will only remain in your heart forever. Death is not the end. This memory and Love will always be with you."

Little Kangxi's shoulders trembled slightly.

He sobbed softly at first, then whimpered, and finally wailed loudly.

Even Fuquan and Duanmin were red-eyed.

They sniffled, thinking about what if Queen Erniang and Erniang left... just thinking about it, they couldn't help crying.

Qiqige was helpless: "Why are you crying too?"

Fuquan and Duanmin put their arms around her waist, but they cried even louder.

The anxious eunuchs outside the door paused.

Liang Jiugong was so anxious that he wanted to rush in, but Eunuch Gu stopped him: "It's okay, it's okay! As long as you can cry, the emperor will definitely have a good meal later."

Just like Eunuch Gu thought.

The little Kangxi who has figured it out seriously eats, rests, studies and exercises seriously. The only difference from the past is that he looks more mature than before, and his behavior is more correct. It seems that he is really one step ahead and grows secretly. big.

The past three months could not heal the pain of losing his mother, but it also allowed Xiao Kangxi to come out of the shadows.

The birthday party in May is the same as last year, if not simpler than last year.It's just that after receiving the gifts from his brothers and sisters, Xiao Kangxi looked back subconsciously. In a trance, he seemed to see Erniang rushing towards him, and only after blinking did he realize that it was his own illusion.

Xiao Kangxi's heart was sour, and the circles of his eyes were slightly red.

It's just that before he could think about it, the sudden shout in his ear pulled him back from his mind.

"Brother Huang, Brother Huang, Brother Huang!"

"Yes, yes, yes—" Xiao Kangxi responded, looking down at the seventh brother Longxi and eighth brother Yonggan who were bouncing around.

It should be said that only Longxi danced, and Yongqian was forced.

Long Xi snorted: "One, two, three—!"

What was sent to Xiao Kangxi was a large bouquet, rose pink, light pink, orange red, bright red, blue purple, white... flowers of various colors gathered together, and at the same time, there was a fragrance of flowers blowing towards the face.

"A gift for Brother Huang!" Long Xi proudly puffed out his chest.

"It's for Brother Huang, a gift!" Yonggan's cheeks were flushed, and he added shyly: "Brother Seven picked it up, and Brother tied it up."

Their movements attracted everyone's attention.

It's just that Qiqige took a look, her eyes widened immediately, and her heart skipped a beat.

Like her, there is Xiao Kangxi who took the bouquet.

He looked at the bouquet with a strange expression: "Longxi picked it? Longxi... where did you pick it?"

Long Xi blinked.

Immediately afterwards, he replied cheekily: "It was picked in the garden~"

As soon as the voice fell, a group of toffees also ran in from outside the courtyard.

The leader, Yang Gege, glanced over the flowers in Little Kangxi's hands, and then landed on Longxi's body.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Long Xi turned around and ran away.

Yang Gege and the others also chased after him without hesitation, and the roar resounded throughout the Compassion Palace: "Longxi—!"

"Damn brat, stop!"

"Wow - why are you so angry!"

"Why do you say? Damn it! I told you not to pick flowers!"

"Gift, that's a gift for Brother Huang!" Longxi yelled, trying to refute at the same time.

"There are so many people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, you have to be brave enough to say-!"

"That's it!"

"Even if this is a gift for the emperor, what about the ones you have left behind? Don't think that you can get away with using the emperor as a cover!"

Yang Gege couldn't believe it.

They angrily accused the evil deeds of the little saboteur Longxi: "How long did it take us to plant those? Now you have finished all of them!"

"No, just a little bit!"

"It's still a little bit—!" Yang Gege's eyes turned red anxiously.

They are numerous.

Yang Gege and others adopted tactics of encirclement and captured Long Xi on the spot: "Then from tomorrow on, you will plant flowers with us, and we will let you play when the planting is finished!"

"Hey, hey, what's the matter--Emperor Niang!"

"... Aijia thinks what Yang Gege said is good, are you right?" Qiqige nodded, and asked Niu Gulu Gege sideways.

Niu Gulu nodded his head: "What the empress dowager said is very true."

Long Xi was dumbfounded, and turned his attention to Xiao Kangxi for help.

Little Kangxi was still sad at first.

Now this bit of sadness has been thrown to Java, with crooked eyebrows, and chuckled softly: "Longxi is clumsy, maybe he can't take care of the flowers well, mothers and concubines let him go."

Long Xi suddenly became proud.

He nodded again and again, and quickly hid behind Xiao Kangxi: "What the emperor said is true, what the emperor said is right!"

The proud look makes people want to slap him.

Yang Gege's faces were as black as the bottom of a pot, and they glared at Longxi angrily.

However, Longxi hadn't had time to take a breath of complacency, only to hear little Kangxi change the subject: "It's better to stay with me and farm with Queen Mother, that will be less likely to be harmed."

Long Xi's complexion changed slightly.

He was about to flee on tiptoe, but was caught by the little Kangxi who had expected it.

Long Xi begged for mercy: "My brother picked the flowers for the sake of the emperor!"

Little Kangxi nodded calmly: "I know, this is my return gift."

Longxi: ...

I don't want such a return gift!Help!
