Chapter 5 Eye contact
"One named Chunbai is taller and older than us. On weekdays, if either grandma or Aunt Hua is in poor health, it is sister Chunbai who takes more care of us. Sister Chunbai has always taken care of us and can be tight-spoken.
"
"However, the other sister Manshuang is not so easy to talk to. She always gives advice to everyone she meets. But before, the empress praised her for being the best in rules. Now she is even more strict. No one can control her.,,"
It was Nanshuang who said this. Nanshuang and Manshuang were all girls with the word Sui Shuang. Naturally they lived in the same room. However, Nanshuang couldn't stand the way Manshuang criticized him everywhere, and his qualifications were not as good as others, so he had to live in the same house.
I come to Yuzhu here to kill time every day, and then go back when it's time to go to bed, so as not to hear anyone nagging me again.
Regarding the various evaluations made by the two people towards Cining Palace, Yu Yan only believed half of them, and each person had his own impression. If Man Shuang were to evaluate Nan Shuang, it would be a completely different story.
The three little girls gathered together and talked non-stop, which was so delayed that Yu Lian had to turn off the lamp without even having time to wash herself. She had no choice but to use the dim moonlight to get a basin of water and do some random scrubbing.
.
Yuzhu slept on the narrow bed against the west wall. Although it looked a bit shabby, Yuzhu was already very content. Yuzhu fell asleep peacefully, unlike before when a dozen people shared a big bed and had to wake up at night.
They were snoring and grinding their teeth. They were crowded together and it was hot. I didn’t know how many times I had to wake up in one night.
With chaotic thoughts in her mind, Yuqian quickly fell asleep and had a dreamless night. She even got up half an hour earlier than Yuzhu. She got up and washed herself quietly. She prepared water for Yuzhu and then choked.
Taking the leftover snacks from yesterday, Yu Lian went to the main hall to wait for her errands.
Not long after, Aunt Sumala, Aunt Hua and the servants of Cining Palace also arrived. Aunt Hua gave a lecture first, and then asked someone to do some errands. Yu Lian felt familiar with them first, but
There aren't too many errands to do, so I feel a little uncomfortable being so free, and I lament that I am a hard worker and cannot enjoy the blessings of leisure.
After two or three days of leisure and getting familiar with the place, Yu Lian officially followed the Empress Dowager to serve her. Today happened to be the fifteenth day, and all the empresses in the harem came to Cining Palace to pay their respects.
Emperor Kangxi and his elder brothers came first, and they had three little children in total. The eldest brother Baoqing was now three and a half years old and walked very neatly. Emperor Kangxi asked the children to follow him.
Princess Gege and Prince Baocheng were about to be a little over a year old, and it was time for fun. Emperor Kangxi was reluctant to ask the nanny to hold them, so he simply came over with one in each hand.
Seeing the three little dumpling-like children bowing to her, the Empress Dowager was so distressed that she was unwilling to let the children get into trouble. She hurriedly asked Sumala Aunt and Hua Aunt to pick up the children.
I glanced around at the servants brought by Emperor Kangxi, and scolded Emperor Kangxi rather complainingly.
Emperor Kangxi smiled and apologized. He was not so reckless on weekdays. Today he went to pick up the children from his elder brother's house. When he saw that the children were all healthy and lively, he was also happy. It was also rare to get close to the children, so he acted recklessly.
A little more.
"My grandson, please send greetings to Huang Mama. May Huang Mama be auspicious, and may I be blessed."
There is also an unnamed little brother who is immortal, but he is about to reach the full moon now and is not suitable to be brought out, so the nun who lives with him will come to pay his respects on his behalf.
Emperor Kangxi stroked the crown of his prince's hair. It was rare for him to say such a solemn word, which actually attracted Yu Lian to look at him a few more times.
However, Emperor Kangxi was so noble and imposing, as well as in good shape, that people could not pay attention to the sporadic blemishes on his face.
If he wasn't joking lazily, Emperor Kangxi's aura would be hard to take away.
However, before Yu Yuan could retract his inquiring eyes, who knew Emperor Kangxi was so keen, his eyes immediately turned towards him. Yu Yuan panicked and lowered his head like a thief. His eyes were wandering but he didn't dare to stop.
Looked over.
Emperor Kangxi was not annoyed at facing such a disrespectful little girl. He just thought the little girl's reaction was interesting. What he was thinking about was like a little rabbit raised by Ergege, which was extremely timid and curious.
When I never wore it before, I heard that Emperor Kangxi had acne marks when he was a child, and he had a pockmarked face. Now that I look closely at the real person, I don’t think it’s an exaggeration. There are only some shallow marks on his cheeks, as if he had acne.
"Why don't you ask the children to come in a sedan on such a hot day? How can the children compare with you, a thick-skinned person? You don't even have enough slaves. How can Liang Jiugong give birth to three heads and six arms to help you serve the children?
"
The Empress Dowager held the prince in one hand and twisted an almond from the plate with the other hand and put it on the back of Emperor Kangxi's hand to distract him from his thoughts.
"We can't always protect them too much. If they grow up coddled, how will they be able to carry a sword and protect our Qing Dynasty in the future?"
Although the elder brother and the princesses are young, none of the children in the palace are precocious. They will imitate this moment and kowtow to their ancestors to say hello: "Ukumama is auspicious."
"What are you thinking about? Are you so angry that you don't even want to reply after the Aijia lectured you?"
Emperor Kangxi's hands trembled, and then he came back to his senses. It was rare for him to lose concentration like this, so he had to find an excuse quickly: "My grandson, how can I be angry with you? I have been thinking about many things these days.
I was quite tossing and turning at night, but once I came to Mama’s place, I relaxed a little and felt a little sleepy for a while.”
After saying that, the Empress Dowager sent Yu Lian and others to prepare honey tea and fan the children. It's no wonder that she loves these children so much. Mr. Kangxi's heirs are in trouble, and there are four younger brothers and a little princess in front of the eldest brother.
Well, none of them stood still. It was really sad that such a good child was gone at the last word.
Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager immediately became less angry with Emperor Kangxi and felt distressed. She then sent Chunbai to the dining room to bring him a bowl of nourishing chicken soup. Emperor Kangxi worked hard like this at such a young age. If he lost money,
My health is getting worse.
"State affairs are not your business alone. The civil and military officials of the entire dynasty ask you to support them for free. They go to the dynasty to brainstorm and talk about three things if they can. If they can't, they fight. Why do you have to work so hard like this?"
The Empress Dowager was a resolute and resolute person. She had been up and down in the harem for many years, and she had never been burdened by external affairs. The Emperor Kangxi was raised by the Empress Dowager, so naturally her temperament also followed that of the Empress Dowager. However, she was still young and had always had a good attitude towards things.
Be careful and careful, and the situation is still unclear at the moment, so you don't have to rush to make a decision.
Emperor Kangxi raised his hand and dismissed some of the second-class servants in the room, and then elaborated a few words: "Beating must be done, but when, how, and to what extent it should be done cannot be arbitrary."
