Chapter 117
Chapter 117
It didn't take long for Niu Hulu's going to Jingren Palace to spread in the harem.Even Kangxi, who was busy reviewing memorials in the imperial study, learned of this, and went to Jingren Palace to ask Concubine Tong what Niu Hulu was doing in Jingren Palace.
Tong Guifei did not hide it from Kangxi, and directly told him that Niu Hulu came to show her favor.However, she did not tell Kangxi that Niu Hulu was here to make a deal with her.
As soon as Kangxi heard it, he knew why Niu Hulu was courting Concubine Tong Gui.
"The concubine guessed that it was the Empress Dowager who asked Concubine Shu to come."
Kangxi nodded slightly and said, "It should be."
"Your Majesty, these gifts from Concubine Shu... should I keep them or not?"
"Keep it." Kangxi said with a smile, "Don't waste the things that come to your door."
"The emperor said so, the concubine will keep it."
"If the Niu Hulu family still shows kindness to you later, you can continue to accept it."
Concubine Tong laughed at Kangxi's words: "Your Majesty, wouldn't it be too bad to do this?"
"No, you can take it at ease, I will support you." Kangxi said this very domineeringly.
Concubine Tong smiled softly at Kangxi: "With the support of the emperor, the ministers and concubines will not be afraid."
In the Cining Palace, the Empress Dowager and Niu Hulu learned that Kangxi had gone to Jingren Palace.
"Empress Dowager, do you think Concubine Tong Gui will agree to help my concubines?"
"You only go to Jingren Palace once, and she will definitely not agree." The Empress Dowager said in a deep tone, "You have to ask several times before Concubine Tong Gui will agree."
Niu Hulu also guessed, after all, she had a problem with Tong Guifei before.If Concubine Tong Gui agreed to help immediately, she would definitely look down on Concubine Tong Gui.
"The concubine is ready."
The Empress Dowager confessed: "During this time, you will go to Jingren Palace every day."
Niu Hulu nodded obediently: "I understand."
At noon, Kangxi had lunch in Jingren Palace and did not go to Compassion Palace.During lunch, Kangxi told Concubine Tong about his tour outside the Great Wall.
Every time Kangxi went on a tour outside the Great Wall, he would not be able to come back within a few months.This visit lasted for a few months, and Kangxi had to make arrangements for the affairs of the court and the harem.
In the dining hall in Shangshu's study, Xiao Yinzhen and his three brothers are also having lunch, and they are also talking about the tour outside the Great Wall.
"Third brother, fourth brother, I also want to go to Mongolia, and I want to visit Horqin." The fifth elder brother was raised by the queen mother since he was a child, and he often heard her old man talk about the Horqin grassland. Hometown of the Empress Dowager.
The third elder brother said: "I also want to go to Mongolia, but we are too young, Khan Ama will not take us there."
Xiao Yinzhen is not very interested in going to Mongolia, but it is good to be able to go out to play.
"Khan Ama won't take us there, but he should take the eldest brother and the prince."
"Fourth brother, when we grow up, can we also go beyond the Great Wall?" The third elder brother is also very yearning for Beyond the Great Wall.
"It should be possible, but we are still young, so we definitely can't go." Since we can't go to Mongolia now, there is no need to think about it.
"I wonder if Khan Ama can take Huang Mamo there?" The fifth elder brother knew that the Queen Mother had been missing her hometown Horqin very much, and she always wanted to go back and have a look.
The third elder brother shook his head and said, "Impossible, Huang Mama is too old to withstand a long journey."
"Alas..." Fifth Brother sighed for a long time.
Xiao Yinzhen picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in Fifth Brother's bowl, "Fifth Brother, eat well."
The fifth prince's attention was instantly shifted to the braised pork, and he didn't sigh anymore.
After lunch, the three brothers rested for a while before going to the school grounds for class.
During this time, in addition to learning horse riding and archery.Xiao Yinzhen and the others began to learn some boxing skills.As an elder brother, you need to know a little bit of boxing to protect yourself.
At this time, Xiao Yinzhen was wrestling with the fifth elder brother.Don't look at the fifth elder brother who is fatter than Xiao Yinzhen, but his strength is not as strong as Xiao Yinzhen.
With a bang, Fifth Prince was thrown to the ground by Xiao Yinzhen again.
"Fourth brother, I won't come." The fifth elder brother fell with staring eyes and pain in his buttocks.
Xiao Yinzhen stretched out his hand to Fifth Prince who was lying on the ground, "Get up."
The fifth elder brother reached out and grabbed his fourth brother's hand, and then he was easily pulled up by his fourth brother.
"Fourth brother, you are thinner than me, why are you stronger than me?"
The third elder brother came over, raised his hand and gently patted the fifth elder brother on the head.
"Although your fourth brother is thinner than you, he eats as much as you do. Do you think he has less strength than you?"
Xiao Yinzhen said with a serious face: "Fifth Brother, I am strong, but you are puffy."
"puffiness……"
The third elder brother pinched the fifth elder brother's chubby little face, and joked: "It's really puffy."
"Third brother, I'm not in vain. I don't believe you wrestled with me." The fifth elder brother thought he couldn't wrestle the fourth brother, but he could beat the third brother.
The third elder brother waved his hands quickly, and said with a face of refusal: "I won't wrestle with you."
"Third brother, are you afraid?" The fifth elder brother also knew how to use the aggressive method.
The third elder brother admitted it very readily: "Yes, I'm scared, I can't fall but you." After finishing speaking, he raised his hand and patted the fifth elder brother on the head, "School is over, we should go back."
"I'm hungry, hurry back to Jingren Palace for some snacks." During this time, Concubine Yi would go to Jingren Palace to pick up Fifth Brother in her arms every afternoon.
As soon as he returned to Jingren Palace, Xiao Yinzhen was attracted by Brother Nine.As soon as Brother Jiu saw Xiao Yinzhen, he happily asked him for a hug.
If Xiao Yinzhen didn't hug her, brother Jiu would start crying immediately.There was no other way, Xiao Yinzhen had no choice but to reach out and hug him.
Every time the fifth elder brother saw that the ninth elder brother did not want him as his own brother, but wanted Xiao Yinzhen as his fourth brother, he felt very envious and hated in his heart.
No, as soon as Xiao Yinzhen and the others walked into the main hall of Jingren Palace, Brother Jiu in Yifei's arms stretched out his hands to Xiao Yinzhen excitedly, babbling something.
"Ninth Brother, let Fifth Brother give you a hug."
Brother Jiu glanced at his fifth brother, then immediately turned his head over, staring at Xiao Yinzhen not far away with burning eyes, and stretched out his hands very anxiously.
Concubine Tong Guifei couldn't help laughing when she saw Brother Jiu's eagerness for Xiao Yinzhen to hug him: "Hurry up and hug Brother Jiu, otherwise Brother Jiu will cry."
Sure enough, Brother Jiu pursed his mouth.
Xiao Yinzhen was startled, and he didn't dare to hesitate any longer, he hurried forward and reached out to hug Brother Jiu.
Brother Nine was hugged by Xiao Yinzhen, his little face immediately turned from cloudy to sunny, and he gave Xiao Yinzhen a bright and happy smile.
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah……"
Xiao Yinzhen couldn't understand Brother Jiu's words, and when he was about to carry Brother Jiu to sit down on the couch, Brother Jiu's face was saliva again.
Brother Jiu held Xiao Yinzhen's head in his chubby hands, opened his small mouth and gnawed at Xiao Yinzhen's pretty face.Fortunately, he has no teeth yet, otherwise Xiao Yinzhen's pretty face would be disfigured by him.
Being gnawed with saliva all over his face, Xiao Yinzhen looked unlovable.
"Jiudi, my face is not an apple." Xiao Yinzhen felt that elder brother Jiu would eat his face as an apple or other fruit.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..." while waving his hands cheerfully, he giggled.
Unable to communicate with the baby, Xiao Yinzhen gave up communicating with Brother Jiu and carried him directly to the couch.
Xiao Yinzhen hugged Brother Jiu and let Brother Jiu sit in his arms, and he ate snacks.
The third elder brother sat across from Xiao Yinzhen, pinched a small piece of dim sum and fed it to the ninth elder brother's mouth, but the ninth elder brother refused to eat it.
When Xiao Yinzhen was eating snacks, Brother Jiu was drooling and staring at Xiao Yinzhen.
Xiao Yinzhen deliberately refused to give him food, but Brother Jiu hurriedly reached out to grab it.Xiao Yinzhen deliberately put the dim sum in Brother Jiu's hand, so that Brother Jiu thought he could get it.When Brother Jiu was about to get it, Xiao Yinzhen moved the dim sum away in a tricky manner.
"Ahhhhhhhh..." Brother Jiu looked anxious, and desperately reached out to reach for the dim sum in Xiao Yinzhen's hand.
Xiao Yinzhen brought the dim sum to Brother Jiu's mouth, and Brother Jiu immediately opened his mouth to bite, but Xiao Yinzhen took the dim sum away again.Then, Brother Jiu watched helplessly as Xiao Yinzhen ate the snack.
Brother Nine stared blankly at Xiao Yinzhen, then yelled anxiously.
Next, Xiao Yinzhen teased Brother Jiu like this again.
The fifth elder brother didn't cry when he saw the ninth elder brother being teased like this, his tone was full of sourness: "If I teased the ninth brother like this, the ninth brother would have cried."
The third elder brother said very heartbrokenly: "Obviously, the ninth brother likes the fourth brother very much, and doesn't like you as an elder brother."
The fifth elder brother who was stabbed | felt sad, wronged and unconvinced: "I am the brother of the ninth brother."
No matter how Xiao Yinzhen teases Brother Jiu, Brother Jiu will not cry, but his eyes will look at Xiao Yinzhen with aggrieved eyes.
Xiao Yinzhen teased Brother Jiu for a while, then pinched a piece of snack and fed it to him.
Brother Jiu, who was being fed dim sum, smiled happily with his mouth open.A pair of chubby hands were still waving vigorously excitedly.
While Xiao Yinzhen was eating snacks by himself, he was feeding Brother Jiu.
"Niang Niang, the emperor is going to go beyond the Great Wall, do you have any idea who will accompany you, do you want to go?" Only then did Concubine Yi remember Kangxi's tour outside the Great Wall.
"I won't go, I want to stay in the palace to manage the harem and take care of Yinzhen." Concubine Tong looked at Concubine Yi, "Brother Jiu is so young, you can't go."
"Oh, I really want to go." Concubine Yi has never been to Beyond the Great Wall and has always wanted to visit. "Doesn't the emperor take anyone with him?"
"The emperor should take Mr. Wei and a few people from Qianqing Palace to promise to go."
"What?" Concubine Yi said angrily, "Take that bitch Wei?!"
"Concubine Yi!" Concubine Tong's reaction to Concubine Yi was too strong, which scared Xiao Yinzhen and the others.
Concubine Yi realized that she had lost her composure, and put away the anger on her face, but her tone was still very dissatisfied.
"Eighth elder brother is only two years old, Wei family followed the emperor to go outside the Great Wall, what should eighth elder brother do?"
"The emperor asked Concubine Hui to take care of the eighth elder brother." Tong Guifei said lightly, "The eighth elder brother was raised by the concubine Hui after he was born." Wei Gui's status is low, so he is not qualified to raise the eighth elder brother, so Kangxi put the eighth elder brother Elder brother was handed over to Concubine Hui to be raised.
Concubine Yi said with a cold face, "I just don't want Wei to go."
Concubine Rong looked at Concubine Yi amusedly, "What do you care about with her?"
"I just can't get used to it." Concubine Yi has always disliked such humble concubines as Wei Guiren and De Concubine, especially the two of them are very favored. "Imperial Concubine, you have never been outside the Great Wall, how can you let Mrs. Wei go outside the Great Wall?" The more Concubine Yi thought about it, the more angry she became, and the more she thought about it, the more jealous she became.
"I don't care if I go beyond the Great Wall or not." Concubine Tong didn't think it was a good thing to accompany the driver outside the Great Wall, on the contrary she felt very tired.From the capital to Mongolia, it was really exhausting to travel all the way. "Concubine Yi, you have to think about it this way. It's better for nobleman Wei to accompany the emperor to go outside the Great Wall than for the emperor to bring back a few Mongolian concubines from outside the Great Wall."
Concubine Rong echoed Concubine Tong's words, "With Mr. Wei around, those Mongolian women will look much inferior."
Hearing that Concubine Tong could say this to Concubine Rong, Concubine Yi felt less unwilling and angry.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty Wei went to the outside of the Great Wall with the Emperor, and it took several months to stay with the Emperor day and night. Are you really not worried at all?"
"There is nothing to worry about. If Mrs. Wei can serve the emperor well, I would like to thank her."
When Concubine Yi heard this, she said angrily: "Your Majesty, you are really virtuous." After speaking, she left with Fifth and Ninth Brothers.
Brother Jiu couldn't bear Xiao Yinzhen, and when he was carried away by Concubine Yi, he even started crying.
Every time he is separated from Xiao Yinzhen, brother Jiu is very reluctant, which makes Concubine Yi have to forcefully take him away.
When Brother Jiu was carried away by Concubine Yi, he kept reaching out to Xiao Yinzhen, crying and shouting.
Every time Xiao Yinzhen saw Brother Jiu's appearance like this, he always felt weird, as if they were being taken apart by Concubine Yi.
After Concubine Yi and the others left, Concubine Rong also brought San Elder Brother back to Zhongcui Palace.
"Er Niang, I'm not a child anymore, if you want to go beyond the Great Wall, go." Xiao Yinzhen thought that Tong Guifei didn't go beyond the Great Wall because of him, "I can take care of myself."
Guifei Tong smiled softly when she heard what Xiao Yinzhen said, "Er Niang is not because you don't want to go outside the Great Wall, but because you don't want to go."
"Er Niang, why don't you want to go beyond the Great Wall?" Xiao Yinzhen asked puzzled, "Beyond the Great Wall is so fun, why don't you go?"
"Er Niang doesn't think it's fun." Concubine Tong reached out and touched Xiao Yinzhen's head, "Besides, it's a long way from the capital to Mongolia, Er Niang doesn't like to travel long distances." Compared to going to Mongolia or Jiangnan, Concubine Tong prefers to stay In the Forbidden City.
Xiao Yinzhen don't believe it: "Emiang, you really didn't go because of me?"
"No, if Er Niang really wants to go beyond the Great Wall, she will also take you there, and will not leave you alone in the palace." If Kangxi wants to bring Concubine Tong to Mongolia, Concubine Tong will definitely bring Xiao Yinzhen with her of.If Xiao Yinzhen is left in the palace, it is unknown what the Empress Dowager will do.
Xiao Yinzhen understands that his mother is a house girl and doesn't like to travel far.
"Emiang, I really want to go beyond the Great Wall."
"You are still young, and you can't afford to travel long distances." Tong Guifei looked at Xiao Yinzhen with loving eyes and said, "After a few years, when you grow up, Erniang will ask you, Khan Ama, to take you outside the Great Wall." .”
Xiao Yinzhen nodded obediently: "Emiang, let's go together when the time comes."
Seeing the anticipation in Xiao Yinzhen's eyes, Tong Guifei's heart softened, and she didn't say any words of rejection.
"Okay, when you grow up, Er Niang will go outside the Great Wall with you."
"Thank you mother."
"Let's have dinner."
After dinner, Xiao Yinzhen and the third elder brother returned to elder brother's place.
"Fourth brother, why doesn't Emiang like Wei Guiren?" Fifth elder brother thinks that Wei Guiren is good-looking, gentle and soft-spoken, and he is a good person.
The third elder brother raised his hand and knocked on the fifth elder brother's little head, pretending to be stern and said: "Don't worry about your lord's affairs."
Xiao Yinzhen nodded slightly, agreeing with the third elder brother's statement: "Fifth brother, don't worry about your lord's affairs."
Seeing that the two older brothers were so serious, the fifth elder brother couldn't help being a little scared, and didn't dare to say any more.
"Third brother, fourth brother, I understand."
"Fifth brother, your handwriting is too ugly, don't practice it well."
Fifth elder brother covered his little head with both hands, and said pitifully: "Third brother, I will practice hard now, don't hit me on the head again."
Next, the three brothers practiced calligraphy while doing their homework.At the four quarters of Xu time, it's time for Xiao Yinzhen and the others to go to bed.
If you don't go to bed at the four quarters of Xu time, you will definitely not be able to get up at Yin time the next day.
Regarding Kangxi's tour outside the Great Wall, the front and rear palaces were very concerned.However, this matter has nothing to do with Xiao Yinzhen and the third elder brother, and the three of them did not pay attention to this matter any more.
When the Empress Dowager learned that Kangxi was going to take Noble Wei to the Great Wall, she naturally strongly opposed it, but Kangxi insisted on taking Noble Wei there, which made the Empress Dowager very angry.
Tong Guifei was called to the Palace of Compassion, and the Empress Dowager asked her to persuade Kangxi not to take Wei Guiren to Mongolia.Tong Guifei said that she persuaded, but Kangxi did not listen to her.
The Empress Dowager hoped that Kangxi could take Niu Hulu to go outside the Great Wall.In this way, the Niu Hulu family can get along with Kangxi day and night for several months.Maybe, Niu Hulu could become pregnant while going outside the Great Wall.
The Niu Hulu family has not passed the "test" of Tong Guifei, and she has not agreed to help the Niu Hulu family, so she will not persuade Kangxi to take the Niu Hulu family to go outside the Great Wall.However, even if she agreed to deal with Niu Hulu, she would not persuade Kangxi to take her to Mongolia.It took a few months to go to Mongolia, and Kangxi would not be willing to spend a few months with the Niu Hulu family day and night.
The Empress Dowager saw that Tong Guifei was unwilling to persuade Kangxi not to take Wei Guiren outside the Great Wall, so she had to do it herself.She called Wei Guiren to the Compassionate Ning Palace, severely reprimanded her, and made her kneel at the door of the Compassionate Ning Palace.
After Kangxi learned about it, he directly took Wei Guiren away, which completely angered the Empress Dowager.
The empress dowager knew Kangxi's temperament, so she couldn't force him, otherwise the grandparents and grandchildren would quarrel again.Since she couldn't dissuade the emperor, she made it impossible for nobleman Wei to go outside the Great Wall.However, there was still some time before Kangxi went on a tour outside the Great Wall, and the Empress Dowager was not in a hurry to attack nobleman Wei.
On this day, after school at noon, Liang Jiugong invited Xiao Yinzhen and the others to have lunch in the East Nuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace.
When Xiao Yinzhen and the others arrived at the East Nuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace, they were a little surprised to see the sixth and eighth elder brothers.
After a while, Kangxi was going to go beyond the Great Wall.He wanted to spend some time with his sons before going outside the Great Wall, so he asked Liu Jinzhong to report the sixth and eighth elder brothers to Qianqing Palace.As for Brother Seven, he was very timid, and every time he saw Kangxi, he would be so frightened that he couldn't speak. Kangxi didn't let Liu Jinzhong pick him up for dinner.
When the sixth elder brother and the eighth elder brother saw Xiao Yinzhen and the others, they called out "third brother", "fourth brother" and "fifth brother" very obediently.
"All sit down."
Xiao Yinzhen and the three of them sat together, and the sixth and eighth elder brothers sat opposite them.
Brother Six kept staring at Xiao Yinzhen.When Xiao Yinzhen looked at him, he immediately smiled obediently at Xiao Yinzhen.
Perhaps because they are siblings from the same mother, the sixth elder brother naturally wants to get close to Xiao Yinzhen, but because he is often sick, he rarely goes out of the Yonghe Palace, and there are very few opportunities to get close to Xiao Yinzhen.
"Fourth brother." The sixth elder brother called timidly.
"What's the matter, Sixth Brother?" Although Xiao Yinzhen didn't like De Concubine, he didn't dislike Sixth Brother, but he didn't have that kind of affection for Sixth Brother.
"Fourth brother." Sixth brother called softly again.
"Sixth brother, what's wrong with you, are you feeling unwell?"
Brother Six shook his head and did not speak.
"Sixth brother, are you really okay?"
Brother Six shook his head again, but still didn't speak.
Seeing that elder brother Liu didn't seem to be in trouble, Xiao Yinzhen didn't say anything.
After a while, the sixth elder brother looked at Xiao Yinzhen anxiously, and said timidly: "Fourth brother, can I play with you?"
