80. The Qing Dynasty, Which Was Worn Like a Sieve (Thirteen)
Ever since the day trip outside the palace that day, the relationship between the brothers has become strange. Xiao Jiu, who used to have conflicts with Yinzhen, still likes to find faults, but it seems that there is no malice anymore, only awkwardness; Xiao Shi looks forward to riding and shooting lessons all day long, and when he takes riding and shooting lessons, he pesters Su Yuanyuan to let her teach. He climbed trees and taught him other fun things to do.
There are also Xiao Wu, Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba, who are all very close to Yinzhen. Not only do they like to talk to him, they also like to get close to him. So now you can often see a group of young masters playing together in the palace. The eldest is Yinzhen, and all those younger than him who can read follow him. Plus Su Yuanyuan and Guo Luoluo Mingfang, the eight of them are busy wherever they go. If it doesn't work, it seems that Yinyin, Prince and Yinzhi are not so gregarious.
But who told them that they are already old? It was normal for children not to like playing with them, and Kangxi also hoped that they would focus more on business.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and the day for Su Yuanyuan and Xiaojiu's bet arrived. On this day, not only all the elder brothers and princesses were here, but also Kangxi, the Queen Mother and several concubines above the imperial concubine rank. They simply heard a lot of interesting things about the palace during this period and came to watch the fun.
Su Yuanyuan complained in her heart that it felt like a sports meeting. In order to increase the fun for these big guys, the competition that originally only involved her and Mingfang became a competition for everyone. After the two of them competed, the brothers also competed.
Mingfang, wearing a fiery red riding outfit, took the lead on the horse and said to Su Yuanyuan with a smile: "Today we have a fun competition. No matter who loses or wins, I recognize you as a sister!"
Su Yuanyuan was wearing a sky blue riding outfit, which made her skin fairer. She smiled confidently and openly, "Well said! We will always be good sisters. Whoever betrays first will be the puppy!"
"It's a deal!"
The two hugged each other's fists, heard a "start" and rushed out together. Su Yuanyuan ran fast and steadily, always half a horse's length ahead of Mingfang. When she was approaching the finish line, she suddenly exerted her strength and suddenly beat Mingfang by one horse's length. Mingfang caught up and gave her a high-five, and the two went to compete in archery and horseback archery. There was no doubt that Su Yuanyuan won the game because she was stable and slightly better than her.
This has become normal in the past half month. Not only are the brothers not surprised, but even Mingfang herself is convinced that she has lost. She is very happy that she has met such a good sister. But the Queen Mother and the concubines were very surprised, and Concubine Yi's face turned dark.
Xiaojiu awkwardly handed a cup of tea to Yinzhen and said loudly: "I am willing to admit defeat. I will serve tea for three days and I will be able to win it back on my own one day!"
Yinzhen took it, took a sip, and said with a smile: "If you are ambitious, fourth brother is waiting for you."
Kangxi laughed loudly, patted his two sons on the shoulders, and said: "Brothers fighting tigers, father and son go into battle. We love the men of the Xinjueluo family to be so grand. Prince, you and your brothers will compete. Let's compete." Your Majesty is also happy to see you."
The prince smiled and responded: "Yes, I will let Madam Huang enjoy watching it."
Yinyin took a deep breath and worked hard during the competition, beating the prince in every aspect. If the prince was brave in all aspects with a touch of elegance and nobility, then Yinyin was working hard and overshadowed the prince to take the lead.
Yinzhen was first, the prince was second, and Yinzhen was third. However, Kangxi could see that Yinzhen had retained his strength. He clearly wanted the prince to enjoy the glory of being number one in front of everyone, but he didn't expect that Yinzhen would not give in at all. Pushing the prince to second place. In fact, the prince is already excellent in all aspects. He can keep smiling even if he loses. Unlike Yin Yin, who is too concerned about gains and losses and is dissatisfied with his younger brother. As people grow up, their hearts become bigger.
Kangxi squinted his eyes and looked at the expressions of several people, and felt that they should teach them more. Yinyin was impatient, so it was best to go to the battlefield to sharpen his character, which would bring out his talents. Yinzhi loved literature wholeheartedly, so he would just write it in the future. Books can also accomplish something. As for Yinzhen, his performance is getting better and better, and there seems to be no sign of arrogance. After all, he is not big yet, and he can still watch it slowly.
Regardless of whether the prince lost or won, he was still the best son in Kangxi's eyes. Although he gave the reward dagger to Yinyin during the game, Kangxi gave the prince a lot of good things in return the next day. This is his sincerity as a loving father, and it is also his declaration to everyone that the prince's status is unshakable, and his favor is the best support, no matter how hard others try, it will be useless.
Kangxi's mind was full of twists and turns, and he was intrigued by the ministers of the previous dynasty. Su Yuanyuan and her gang of children still had a lot of fun. They stayed together all day long, either climbing trees or digging holes. They ran all over the palace and even destroyed most of the flowers in the imperial garden. But how long did it take for Su Yuanyuan to feel that the things they harmed were valuable to sacrifice? She has become the king of children!
Xiaojiu and Xiaoshi are her most loyal followers, and Mingfang is her best handkerchief. Although Xiaowu, Xiaoqi, and Xiaoba are always embarrassed to show off, they have long been accustomed to following along when nothing happens in the lively atmosphere. They are. Su Yuanyuan felt that she didn't need a wife's diplomacy at all. Who could break up this kind of relationship that has been played since childhood? She is definitely not going to win over the heirs in Kowloon. After all, Yinzhen is much better than them now. When the gap is only a little bit, they may still fight for it, but they spend all day with Yinzhen, who is better than Kangxi. He and the prince know Yinzhen's true strength better, so how can they still have the desire to compete? It’s almost as good as following.
Su Yuanyuan enthusiastically won over several generals here. Not only did Kangxi not feel any fear, he also felt that she was a little lucky star, making most of his sons get better and better. So on a whim, Kangxi ordered all the princesses to play with Su Yuanyuan, run and jump to exercise, so as not to get sick or die young.
Su Yuanyuan couldn't believe her ears when she heard the news. She pulled Yinzhen's sleeve and made a sad face, "What is your cousin doing? Are you really treating me as a babysitter? I'm only seven years old after my birthday." Woolen cloth!"
Yinzhen couldn't help laughing, "Who told you to behave so well? In Huang Ama's eyes, aren't you really good at taking care of children? The most important thing is that even the weaker seventh brother has not been sick during this period. Once again, if you can make all the sisters strong, he will definitely be very happy."
Su Yuanyuan twisted on him, "Your sisters must have cried when they heard what you said. What does it mean to be strong? How about raising cattle?" She waved her hands and said nonchalantly, "Forget it, just look after the children. My child, he gave this to me personally, and he will never regret it when he becomes mine."
The two looked at each other and smiled, happily accepting the order. They will not only enjoy the treatment of nobles in this era. Not to mention the raging wars at the border, even in the capital there are people who can only feed the generals. How many people starve to death or freeze to death every year, and even in the palace there are often those who are weak and die young. children.
These things exist in their hearts, but they can't control them now. If they want to change everyone's life, they must first have enough power. They are growing up and working hard for the future. One day, they will make the words "strong country and peaceful people" a reality!
While she was busy conquering her sisters, Concubine De gave birth to a healthy and lovely 14th brother. Moistened by the water of the spiritual spring, the fourteenth prince was born white and fat, with big, dark, watery eyes. He smiled when he saw Kangxi, and Kangxi naturally liked him very much.
Concubine De finally saw the hope of regaining her favor. As soon as the confinement was over, she quickly dressed herself up and welcomed Kangxi with her cute little fourteen in her arms. After such a long time, Kangxi's anger and affection for her faded away, and he just regarded her as an ordinary concubine. When he saw her, he only had ordinary chats, without any intimacy or enthusiasm. After teasing Xiao Si for a while, Kangxi left Yonghe Palace without looking back, despite Concubine De's pleas to stay, because he heard that Su Yuanyuan had a quarrel with his daughters, but in the end he defeated them in all aspects. , all losers must practice riding and archery under the sun for three days.
He was quite curious and was anxious to go to Chengqian Palace to listen to what the little girl told him.
Concubine De was so angry that after he left, she hurriedly fed Xiaosi a lot of spiritual spring water and whispered: "Don't worry, you will be his favorite son in the future. Son, my mother-in-law depends on you. You You must grow up quickly and let E Niang be the most noble woman in the world.”
Xiao Shisi is nourished by the spiritual spring water. He is very smart and clever. But no matter how cute he is, he is still a dumb baby. Compared with the daily jokes made by Su Yuanyuan's group of children, he is not at the same level. Although Kangxi will still come to see Xiaosi, his time is limited, so he comes here The frequency is getting less and less, and recently I have no interest in other concubines. When I enter the harem, I always go to Chengqian Palace to eat with Tong Jiawanxian, Yinzhen, and Su Yuanyuan.
As an imperial concubine, Tong Jiawanxian is like a deputy concubine. She has a wife-like status in his heart, and he can feel the warmth of husband and wife when they get along with her. And Yinzhen has become a son that makes him proud, and he is satisfied in every aspect. Naturally, he is willing to give more advice and help the prince in the future. Not to mention Su Yuanyuan, a little girl who could make him laugh at any time. Whenever he was upset, he would definitely relax in front of Su Yuanyuan in a short while.
Therefore, Chengqian Palace has become a place like "home" in his subconscious. Although he has not realized it yet, he always feels boring when going to other places. Every time he enters the harem, he subconsciously stays in Chengqian Palace. Everyone felt the crisis.
Concubine De couldn't accept this result. She had done a lot of tricks towards Tong Jiawanxian over the years. She thought that they had become mortal enemies. If Tong Jiawanxian was favored, she would definitely not be able to please her, so she was a little anxious. After Kangxi failed to invite him once, Concubine De boldly opened the window and froze Xiao Shishi for a night. The next day, Xiao Shishi fell ill with a fever.
She hugged Xiao Shisi and said softly: "Don't be afraid, just for a while, when your emperor Ama comes, I will give you some spiritual spring water to drink, and you will be fine soon."
Little Fourteen cried loudly, instinctively not wanting to stay in her arms. However, Concubine De only listened to what was going on outside. When she heard that Kangxi was coming, she immediately cried so hard that she pressed her face against Xiao Shisi's face and choked out, "My dear son, you must be good, don't Leave your mother behind like your cruel sixth brother!"
