Kangxi bent down, his warm forehead pressed against his warm forehead, "At this time, you are the only one who understands me..." his tone was long and long.
Kangxi naturally would not abandon Chu easily. He was not only reluctant to give up, but also refused to admit defeat. How could Kangxi be so conceited and willing to admit that the heir he taught was a failure?
Wen Xi sighed in confusion, and her breathing gradually became evener. When she woke up the next day, Kangxi had already gone to court, thinking that today happened to be the tenth day of the lunar month, so he should go to pay respects to the Queen Mother. Although he was greedy for a soft bed,
Wen Xi got up anyway, took the Pu'er that Zhu'er offered to rinse her mouth, and asked, "Did Brother Seventeen sleep well last night?"
Zhu'er was holding a phoenix-headed blue field jade comb in her hand to comb Wen Xi's black hair, and said in a slow tone: "According to the master's instructions, I sent the seventeenth brother to the sixth princess last night. As expected, there was no fuss."
Wen Xi hummed, as Yu Ludai had been busy all day long, so he should ask her to take care of him, and said: "From now on, Lu Tan will always protect Brother Seventeen." Lu Tan also gradually became more stable, Wen Xi
I originally planned to personally train Xiaomi Tao for a few more years, and then ask Xiaomi Tao to follow her when she goes to her elder brother's place, but now it's earlier than that. Now I think, if I had called Lutan for protection earlier, maybe Xiaomi Tao wouldn't have suffered like this.
Disaster.
Cining Palace came to greet you. In addition to the concubines, all the concubines and above were present. The Queen Mother looked a little unhappy today, looking very worried.
"Is Seventeenth Brother feeling better?" The Queen Mother looked at Wen Xi and asked.
Wen Xi smiled slightly and said: "It has improved slightly, but I can't speak yet."
The Queen Mother let out a long sigh. "But you have to take good care of it. A good child can't be so bad. It's all because of the servants below who didn't pay attention and actually let me touch such dangerous things! And Tong Bin is also true,
Shu Lu is a princess, how can she play with such dangerous things?!"
Tong Bi looked very bad, her eyes were red and swollen, "I am a mother, I am not careful enough! I feel sorry for Shu Lu. It hurt so much that I couldn't sleep all night..." As she spoke, tears accumulated in her eyes.
Wen Xi looked at her as if she really didn't know anything, and couldn't help but secretly lowered her eyelids.
The Queen Mother lamented, "This year has been such an eventful year! The royal bloodline should be the most blessed, but we encountered such discord. It seems that we have to ask the mage of Baohua Palace to pray for us." Then she looked at Fengxian Palace outside the palace.
Direction. "The Ai family knows that when the emperor punishes the prince, it must be the prince who made a mistake. But the relationship between father and son should not be so frustrated, and you should also give some advice."
The concubines quickly said yes. It rained heavily last night, and Prince Yinreng knelt outside Fengxian Hall all night. When the rain stopped and the sky became dim, he couldn't hold on and fainted. The eunuchs of Fengxian Hall had to carry the prince first.
He went in and hurriedly reported to Kangxi. However, Kangxi angrily scolded the eunuchs in Fengxian Palace, fined them all twenty boards, and told the prince to continue kneeling outside the palace.
The Queen Mother looked at Wen Xi and said: "The emperor may not be able to listen to the concubine's advice, but the emperor must be able to listen to the imperial concubine's words."
Wen Xi hurriedly showed a bit of sadness and said: "I persuaded you last night. Unfortunately, the emperor is angry... I also said that I must at least ask someone to hold an umbrella for the prince, but the emperor will not allow it."
The Queen Mother paused and said: "I was so angry yesterday that I naturally couldn't listen to it. I think it will be better today."
Wen Xi could only say: "I am willing to try my best." Anyway, the prince will not be asked to kneel down forever. If he can be persuaded, it would be a good idea to sell the queen mother and the prince together. The queen mother also values her legitimate son and grandson, so she will naturally treat the prince better than others.
Other brothers are different.
Sure enough, the Queen Mother showed a satisfied and kind expression, "You are the most virtuous, and the Ai family knows that."
Wen Xi smiled slightly and said: "The emperor must feel uncomfortable if the prince is punished. Naturally, I don't want the emperor to feel uncomfortable."
The Queen Mother suddenly looked in the direction of Yongshou Palace and said: "Today, I still haven't come to pay my respects. It seems that I am very ill!"
The concubines didn't answer. Although most of them didn't know why, they could see that concubines were already a taboo. Otherwise, how could the emperor kill all the people in the Yongshou Palace with a stick? Lin Lin, who was in the same palace,
Chang Zai, Xu Chang Zai, and several others who promised to be killed were thrown into the cold palace.
The Queen Mother continued: "People are born, old, sick and die, so you don't need to be too sad. The servants below are not taking good care of them. It's okay to kill them."
The Queen Mother's tone was understated, but she could hear the meaning behind it, "birth, old age, sickness and death"? This shows that the Queen Mother knew the inside story, maybe she already knew that the concubine was dead. There was also a bit of dissatisfaction in her tone, maybe the Queen Mother had remembered all her mistakes.
When it came to the concubine, she felt that she had flattered the prince. Naturally, the queen mother was also partial, favoring her own grandson.
The Queen Mother was not in good health these days, so she didn't leave her concubines to talk much. She told them what needed to be told and then asked them to leave.
After leaving the gate of Cining Palace, Concubine Cheng walked in with a worried look on her face, "Imperial Concubine, my concubine..." She stopped mid-sentence.
Wen Xi smiled slightly and said: "Didn't the Queen Mother say that? People are born, old, sick and die, so there is no need to be too sad."
Concubine Cheng nodded and sighed slightly: "Every cause must have an effect, no one else can blame it." Then she smiled and said: "It's already August, and I don't know if there will be a draft this year."
Wen Xi stroked the flag bun and said: "I will choose naturally. The seventh and eighth elder brothers have reached the age to marry Fujin. The ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother are also fourteen. How can we delay it for another three years?
?”
Concubine Cheng felt a little relieved. The ninth and tenth elder brothers were both fourteen, and her seventh elder brother was already seventeen!
After saying goodbye to Concubine Cheng, Wen Xi got on the carriage and returned to the palace.
Chengqian Palace.
"Mom! Seventeenth brother refuses to eat!" Yu Ludai looked helplessly at Wen Xi who had just returned.
Wen Xi looked at the little peach sitting on the chair, lowering her head and rubbing her clothes. She held him in her arms, took the bowl from Yu Ludai's hand, blew the hot air and said, "Eniang, feed the little one."
Is it good to eat peaches?”
Xiao Mi Tao shook her head, pursed her lips and said nothing.
"Don't you like eating bird's nest?" Wen Xi asked softly, "What about Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup?" Seeing Xiao Pitao still showing a lack of interest, Wen Xi continued to ask: "What about rock sugar snow clam? Red date lily?"
Sweet soup? Mint and mung bean soup?" I said several times in succession, but Xiaomi Tao just kept her head down and didn't react at all.
Yu Ludai frowned and said: "I only ate half of the chrysanthemum bergamot cake this morning, and then I refused to eat anything. My seventeenth brother originally liked to eat a few bites of snow pear and bird's nest, but I think he got tired of it."
"I think it's all because of you!" Kangxi's displeased voice came from outside the palace, and he was seen striding in. He seemed to have just come down from court, and he was still wearing a bright yellow dragon robe with the Nine Dragons and Twelve Coat of Arms.
Yu Ludai turned around and pouted: "Huang Ama, don't speak so loudly, it will scare the seventeenth brother!"
Kangxi looked at Yinli who was still sitting on Wenxi's lap and nestled in Wenxi's arms. He frowned and immediately ordered: "Come down! What is it like?!"
Xiao Mi Tao immediately shrank her neck, grabbed Kang Xi's lapel, and leaned closer. Wen Xi glared at Kang Xi: "He is not even four years old! He was scared to begin with, but he finally got better. The Emperor said
Stop using rules to constrain him!"
Kangxi completely ignored Wen Xi's words, but paused slightly when his eyes fell on Yinli's right hand. Then he looked like a strict father again and said angrily: "Come down! Don't let me say it a third time!" Kangxi
His tone was unquestionable.
Xiao Mi Tao trembled, and then she grasped the left hand side of Wen Xi's clothes and let go. With a tingling sound, she slipped off Wen Xi's body and stood cowering on one side.
Seeing the trembling look on his youngest son's face, Kangxi became even more dissatisfied and said with a cold face: "How could my son be so frightened by a firecracker that he can't speak?!"
Wen Xi hurriedly touched Xiao Mi Tao's shoulder, frowning and said: "He is still young! How has he ever been so frightened?!"
Kangxi still had a cold face, "When I left, you still asked me to say hello, and you came back like this? Where have you learned the rules?!"
Wen Xi felt that Xiao Mi Tao's shoulders were trembling slightly, and she suddenly knelt down to salute, opened her mouth, and finally said, "Please, please be safe, Emperor Ama!"
Wen Xi was suddenly pleasantly surprised. She couldn't help covering her face and exclaimed: "Xiao Tao can talk now?!"
Kangxi immediately frowned and glared at Wen Xi, "Don't use nicknames!"
The smile on his warm face was as bright as clouds. He hurriedly covered his mouth and nodded repeatedly, "It's good if you can speak!"
Yu Ludai stretched out his head and said with a smile: "Does this count as fighting fire with fire?"
Kangxi immediately looked at Wen Xi displeased, stood with his hands behind his hands and said, "I learned it from you, and that's why I'm so unruly!"
Wen Xi was so happy now. She had tried all her methods in the past two months, but she just couldn't get Xiaomi Tao to make a sound. Kangxi just tried to scare him, but he actually managed to scare him! It was really "fighting fire with fire"
Got it!
Kangxi raised his hand, pointed at the little peach and said, "Come here."
Xiao Mi Tao immediately became numb and stepped forward obediently. Kangxi's hand fell on Xiao Mi Tao's moon head, and his tone became gentle, "Does your hand still hurt?"
"Go back to Emperor Ama," Little Mi Taofu spoke slowly, but her words were still clear, "It doesn't hurt anymore."
The wound was naturally healed, but it was still wrapped with gauze, and there were only four fingers on his right hand. Kangxi hummed and said: "It's just that one finger is missing. There are already more people with broken arms and legs on the battlefield! My
My son can’t be so useless!”
Xiao Mi Tao hurriedly said yes, "Son, please remember Emperor Ama's teachings."
Kangxi pointed to the bird's nest on the table and said, "Eat the bird's nest. Don't be picky about food."
Little Peach immediately obediently opened her short legs and stood on tiptoes to pick up the bowl of bird's nests. Since it was inconvenient to hold a spoon, she just raised her head and drank. After a few licks, it turned upside down, and then she obediently put the bowl back in its place.
, said: "My son has finished eating."
Wen Xi hurriedly bent over and wiped Xiao Mi Tao's mouth, her face was filled with joy. She didn't know if it was because she was too coaxing and coddling Xiao Mi Tao, especially when she was injured, for fear that he would be scared even a little bit, and he wouldn't even be able to speak.
Don’t dare to shout loudly. Kangxi’s method is so simple and effective, even Wen Xi can’t believe it. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest
