Qingxi Palace Crossing Jingfenghua

Chapter 141

The sluggish atmosphere in the harem because of continuous miscarriages of concubines dissipated as new concubines entered the palace and a new round of old and new competition for favor.

The pace of time is always in a hurry. After the newly promoted concubines joined the harem, they ushered in their first festival in the harem, the Double Ninth Festival.

Early in the morning, Kangxi personally sent the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager to Jingshan Mountain, and all the concubines and concubines in the harem accompanied him, except for the two pregnant concubines Xiu Yu and Xi Concubine, who were not required to accompany them after they got the decree.

This day, all the heads in the palace were out of the palace, and it was rare that no one was holding them down. Suddenly, Xiu Yu felt like the sky was high and the air was clear.Of course, if her three monkey children didn't make trouble, life would be even more beautiful.So she is in pain and happy! !
It was rare to have time to have breakfast with the three children, so early in the morning Xiu Yu asked the nanny to bring the three children to the main hall.After the four of them had breakfast, Xiu Yu leaned on the concubine's couch covered with fox fur and watched the three children play.

"Er Niang, Er Niang..."

The fourth elder brother directed the little eunuch to move his special small table and chair to the side of the couch, and the four treasures of the study were placed on the table.Although the villain is small, he already has the air of a master when commanding the little eunuch.

The fourth elder brother is sitting upright on the table, rice paper has been laid out, his chubby little hand is holding the special mini brush that Xiu Yu gave him in the correct posture, and a pair of long and narrow phoenix eyes are looking at Xiu Yu expectantly .

"My mother, write in big characters."

"Should I write it now, or write it after I don't play for a while." Xiu Yu looked at her son curiously and asked.

Ever since Yinzhen spoke sharply, I heard from Kangxi that the crown prince practiced big characters well, so Yinzhen wanted her to teach him.Originally thought that he was too young and wanted to wait until he was three years old to teach him, but Yinzhen couldn't bear to torture her every day, so Xiu Yu took time every day to teach him to write big characters by herself.Seeing how the eldest elder brother went to the study to study hard, Xiu Yu also knew how hard the prince's study was when he was young, and he didn't want his son to lag behind others, so Xiu Yu had stricter requirements on his son.

But usually this little guy would have to play for a while before he was willing to write big characters, but today he was very active.

"Don't play, but write. Write well, better than all of them!" Xiaojia said with a serious expression on his face.

How is this going?What's the matter with him?Xiu Yu looked up at Nanny Sun, and Nanny Sun almost stayed with the third child now, especially when she left Jingren Palace.

"Ma'am, the fourth elder brother went to Shoukang Palace to pay his respects yesterday, and met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the elder brother." Nanny Sun said cautiously while looking at the fourth elder brother's expression.

Come on, she knew what was going on.

Ever since she taught Yinzhen how to write big characters, every time he went to greet her, he had to bring his big characters to show to the Queen Mother. All praised this little guy very happy.Thinking about it, the crown prince and elder brother saw his handwriting at the empress dowager's place yesterday, making fun of him hurt his self-esteem.

Xiu Yu was the clearest about how her son wrote, so she barely recognized it.The crown prince and elder brother were also raised and raised, so it is natural to see that Yinzhen is not more favored by the queen mother than them, and it is normal to hit Yinzhen.After all, Yinzhen is young, unlike the elder brother who was raised outside the palace, the prince raised by Kangxi's side has seen many people and things, and his mind is more familiar.

There have never been innocent children in this palace, besides, the eldest elder brother is already nine years old, and the prince is seven years old, so he is already considered half a grown-up, and the two of them grew up being compared by others, so they naturally know that Yinzhen's identity is opposite their threat.And because Yinzhen was not raised in Concubine Tong and was close to the prince after all, as in history, and because he was a twin, he was taught by Suo Ertu to guard against the prince early.

But seeing his son's stubborn appearance, and his small mouth muttering that he should write better than the prince and elder brother, Xiu Yu felt for the first time that perhaps his personality might also be innate.For such a small person, Yinzhen is already very stubborn, stubborn and narrow-minded at such a young age.

"Okay, don't read it, it's not enough for Er Niang to teach you to write. But Er Niang has something to tell you before writing."

Xiu Yu got up and sat face to face with Yinzhen, and looked at Yinzhen rigorously, "Zhener, do you still remember the story that Er Niang told you about hurting Zhongyong?"

"Well, I remember, it's just that my son doesn't quite understand it yet."

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. Remember it in your heart. After thinking about it slowly, you will understand. Now Er Niang is going to tell you another story. Listen carefully. It doesn't matter if you don't understand now. You must remember it in your heart."

"Well, my mother, tell me."

Let Nanny Sun take her two daughters to the side room to play, and dismiss all the palace people, leaving only herself and Yinzhen.Xiu Yuyu flicked her finger towards the roof, and felt that the breath was long before she began to speak.

"In the Han Dynasty, Emperor Han Gaozu had a favorite concubine Bo Ji who had four princes, Liu Heng. Liu Heng was smart and studious since he was a child, and he had the ability to see clearly. The prince raised by the empress Lu's family, but the prince was weaker than Liu Heng, and Empress Lu avoided Bo. Ji and Liu Heng wanted to make people murder Bo Ji and Liu Heng. In order to protect herself and Liu Heng, Bo Ji secretly ordered Liu Heng to pretend to be an idiot, and announced to her face that Liu Heng was seriously ill and his brain became stupid...Liu Heng pretended to be an idiot After nearly twenty years of stupidity, I finally won the throne after the death of Empress Lu..."

Xiu Yu told Yinzhen the allusions about Emperor Wen of Han that he had seen in TV dramas in his previous life, and then explained the allusions to him in detail.

"Have you understood the truth, Zhen'er?"

"My son knows that he has to hide his clumsiness and not be too smart..."

"anything else?"

"Also, I still have to show weakness, protect myself and Erniang, er, my sister and younger brother." As he spoke, his eyes fell on Xiu Yu's slightly protruding belly.

"Erniang's Zhen'er is really a good younger brother and older brother, what else?" Although he didn't mention the whole point, Xiuyu was very moved by this feeling.

"Also, uh... still have to hold back, and... I don't know." The little brow frowned, although it was plain and naive, but it meant that, Xiu Yu was very pleased to hear that .Her son is really smart!

"It doesn't matter if I don't know, but you have to remember what Er Niang said, and then think about it slowly, and don't forget what you said just now, you know?" With a gentle and loving smile, Xiu Yu Gently stroked Yinzhen's little head.

Her son's cleverness made her forget that his son is only two years old, and no matter how smart a child is two years old, he can't understand so much.

But she thought about it, maybe she should adapt and copy the thick black school collected by her father in her previous life, and hand it to him after Yinzhen goes to school; there are also history books, she should read more history books for him; Many princes in the former court and harem survived the fierce struggle and lived well.

"Then next time I want to see the crown prince and elder brother at the queen mother's place, what should Zhen'er do?"

"Even if the prince and elder brother laugh at Zhen'er again, Zhen'er won't care. If Zhen'er comes back to continue practicing, one day he will write better than the prince and elder brother." The little guy said stubbornly with a bulging face.

Xiu Yu was a little speechless, but also a little relieved and distressed. This child is really stubborn.

"Okay, come on, Er Niang will teach you how to write big characters."

Xiu Yu taught Yinzhen to write big characters for a while, and Hutu Ling'er, who was tired of playing in the middle, ran in with Tuli Yichenbihe.Hu Tulinga rushed over like a small cannonball and hugged Xiu Yu's calf, waving a small horsewhip with one hand and shouting loudly.

"Emiang, look, whip, watch me play." Talking in a nonsensical manner, seeing Xiu Yu looking at her, he started to play with the small whip. "Drink, drink..."

Not to mention, she played in a decent manner, and Hu Tuling'a giggled happily after being praised by Xiu Yu.

"Er Niang, book." Not to be outdone, Tuli Yichen grabbed a picture album and handed it to Xiu Yu, "Er Niang, read!" After speaking, he sat on the floor in front of the couch, which was covered with blankets.

"Which story does Xiao Qi want to hear?" This picture album was drawn by Xiu Yu before. Although it was taken away by Kangxi, it was sent back not long after.As for why Kangxi took it, Xiu Yu didn't care, but it didn't take long to hear that the prince, eldest brother and third brother all had such albums.

Tuli Yichen is too quiet, so quiet that it makes people feel distressed, making Xiu Yu want to love her more.Whenever she had time, Xiu Yu would guide her slowly, let her talk more, and wanted her to be more lively.It's much better now than before.At least in terms of competing for Er Niang's favor, she will never lag behind.

"Jade, jade."

"Why does Xiaoqi want to hear this?"

"Jade, Xiaoqi likes it, likes jade." Tuli Yichenbi pulled the mutton fat white jade pendant around his neck. This is a talisman specially carved by Xiu Yu for the three children, and the three children have been carrying it with them since the full moon. .

"Does Xiaoqi know how Yu came from?"

Tuli Yichen looked up at Xiu Yu, followed by Xiu Yu's big, round almond eyes and looked at Xiu Yu suspiciously.

"Xiaoqi doesn't know, right? It's in the story. After listening to Erniang tell the story, Xiaoqi will tell Erniang, okay?"

"Is it in the story?"

"Yes, there is in the story. Well, Er Niang is about to start talking. Jade is not perfect if you don't know it. People don't learn and don't know righteousness. When Fang was young, he learned etiquette with relatives, teachers and friends. The meaning of this sentence is to say; Jade is a kind of A stone that can be used as an ornament, if you don't think about it, can't become a beautiful utensil that everyone loves... It is said that there was a man named Bian He in the state of Chu. One day, he found a piece of stone in the mountains. The jade was unpolished, so he presented the jade to King Chu Li at that time..."

Half a day passed while Xiu Yu was teaching and playing with the three children, and after lunch, someone took the children back to take a nap.In order to ensure the health of the children, Xiu Yu asked them to take a nap every day, at least for an hour.

Because she was pregnant, Xiu Yu was particularly prone to fatigue, and she was already exhausted after playing with the child for a long time.After lunch, I took a nap,
Thinking of the dinner tonight, she needs to rest and replenish her strength.

The Double Ninth Festival is also a very important festival. Kangxi has long ordered to hold a banquet at the Qianqing Palace tonight, eating crabs and tasting osmanthus wine.Although Xiu Yu can't eat crabs or drink alcohol, she has to participate.

At the beginning of September in the golden autumn, the air is high and the air is crisp, the night wind is gentle, and the shadow of the moon is sparse. The weather is not yet cold but slightly cool.The Qianqing Palace is brightly lit, and there are dragon chairs and a golden dragon banquet table in the middle of the hall, which are naturally the throne of Kangxi; the left and right sides of the golden dragon banquet table are set back a foot, and there are also two golden phoenix banquet tables covered with bright yellow carved phoenix tablecloths. On the left is the phoenix seat of the empress dowager, and on the right is the phoenix seat of the empress dowager.Under the left and right phoenix seats is the position of the harem concubine.Concubines in the harem sit in order of respect.The first seat on the left is naturally Concubine Tong, and the opposite is Concubine Niu Hulu's concubine. Still analogously, Xiu Yu sat on Concubine Rong's left, opposite Concubine Xi.

The emperor held a banquet, and the concubines in the harem dared to be late. The concubines arrived early before dark, and so did Xiu Yu.Not long after she arrived, Concubine Tong and others also arrived one after another. After Kangxi Fengtai Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager took their seats, they announced the start of the Double Ninth Banquet.For a while, the cups were mixed with each other, the aroma of wine was pervasive, and the aroma of crabs was alluring.Xiu Yu kept staring at the crab, but could only look at it and couldn't eat it. She was too slanderous, except for a few small plates of lukewarm snacks on the table that could be eaten, she couldn't touch anything else.

She wanted to talk to divert her attention, but it was fine for her to sit next to Concubine Rong, but Concubine An sat on her left.She had a grievance with Concubine Rong, and she had a feud with Concubine An, so the enemy was naturally extremely jealous when they met, so there was nothing left to talk about.

Such a banquet would be a torment for Xiu Yu, she could only secretly swear in her heart that she hoped that the banquet would be restrained soon.

However, just as she was distracted, there was a retching sound from the last seat. Xiu Yu turned her head and saw that it was Wei Chang.At first, Xiu Yu felt that she seemed to have forgotten something important, but now that she saw Wei Shi like this, she suddenly remembered, "Eight Wise Kings in History," Xiu Yu subconsciously turned her head to look at Kangxi, and indeed Kangxi's face was incomparable Gloomy and black as ink.
