At noon, Kangxi had lunch in the Wenxi Palace. As usual, he ate a bowl of iced lotus root starch dumplings, and then took a lazy nap in the warm and cool Bisha cupboard.
The sunshine in early summer was still very scorching at noon. It is easy to feel sleepy when it is hot, but Wen Xi could not sleep today. She only waited for Kangxi to take off his outer robe, and asked the palace maid to fold peonies and insert them into colorful flowers.
The gold-painted plum vase was placed in the temple in place of incense.
After all, Wen Xi was still worried about whether Little Pomegranate and Little Peach were safe outside the palace, so she asked someone to go to the palace gate to keep an eye on them. If they came back, she would report back early.
The fragrance of peonies was graceful and luxurious, and the entrance screen was replaced with a glazed peacock and peony one, which suited the occasion. Zhu'er stood beside Wen Xi and talked leisurely: "Master, don't worry, Brother Sixteen has always been steady."
What he said was true, but Wen Xi still liked to worry, so he asked casually: "What is Yu Ludai doing now?"
Zhu'er smiled and said: "You know that the Sixth Princess doesn't like to take a nap. Just now Luhen came to tell the slave that the Sixth Princess had lunch and then went to Changchun Palace to play with the Fifth Princess. Today Qifujin happened to be taking her with her.
The day when Nuan'er Gege comes to the palace to pay her respects. The Sixth Princess likes Nuan'er Gege very much."
Wen Xi hummed, and a smile couldn't help but appear on her lips, "That child is indeed lovely." Lu Hen entered the palace according to the selection process, and Wen Xi sent Yu Lu Dai to wait for her to marry him in the future.
Now, she is getting married as the eldest maid next to the princess, which is more honorable. Now that Zhu'er has her daughter by her side, the smile on her face is getting bigger and bigger.
While they were chatting together, Xiaoluzi came to report that the sixteenth and seventeenth brothers were back.
Just listen to Little Pomegranate shouting to E Niang. With her younger brother on her back, she ran in quickly from behind the screen, "E Niang, hurry up and make a bowl of sobering soup for Seventeenth Brother."
Little Pomegranate's face was abnormally flushed. She fell asleep and lay on Little Pomegranate's back with saliva dripping from her mouth. The saliva dripped on her brother's shoulders, making Little Pomegranate's clothes wet. Little Pomegranate's face was full of expressions.
I was worried, carrying Xiao Peach on my back. I was already sweating. Fortunately, Xiao Pomegranate had good physical strength and her breath was even, but it was just caused by the heat.
"Didn't I tell you to watch him and not drink?!" Wen Xi couldn't help but get angry and said, Xiao Pitao is only six years old! A six-year-old child actually had a mouth full of alcohol and slapped it on Wen Xi's face. Wen Xi hurriedly said
Covering his mouth and nose, how much wine did he drink to become so drunk?
Xiao Pomegranate also looked helpless, "My son has been looking at the seventeenth brother! After a while, he didn't pay attention, and he secretly poured himself a bottle of wine! The son had no choice but to say goodbye to the prince brother early and come back with the seventeenth brother on his back.
"
A bottle of wine?! A child can drink just out of curiosity. But most of the wine is spicy, and children can’t drink it. But he actually drank a bottle?!
At this time, Little Peach, who was lying on Little Pomegranate's shoulder, woke up hazily, maybe because of the coolness in the Wenxi Palace, but her eyes were still blurry and her mind was not yet clear. Suddenly her arms were all over her body and she raised her head.
He shouted boldly: "Good wine!!" Then he climbed on his brother's shoulder and snored.
Wen Xi’s face suddenly turned green!
Little Pomegranate smiled helplessly and put her brother on the sofa. But as soon as he put it down, he heard "vomit~~" Little Peach was overwhelmed, and told him all the delicacies he had eaten for lunch, and vomited all of them into Little Pomegranate
On clothes.
Little Pomegranate was not angry, but looked guilty, "It's my son who didn't take good care of his younger brother, please don't blame Yinli."
Wen Xi took two deep breaths and said, "Go back and change your clothes first." Then she hurriedly ordered someone to change Yinli's clothes, wash her, and then ordered the kitchen to make sobering soup.
Xiao Mi Tao was really drunk and unconscious. Not only was her face as red as red, she took off her clothes, and her skin was all red, as if she had been scalded by hot water. Wen Xi hurriedly soaked in the tub and took a bath.
After washing away the sour smell of vomit, I secretly fed him some spiritual spring water, which made him feel better. However, I vaguely heard Xiaomi Tao murmuring: "Good wine... good
liquor..."
His gentle face was covered with black lines, and he wanted to slap him twice on his bun face! What a naughty boy! He had been told not to drink alcohol, but he still dared to drink secretly, and drank so much!
They were all so drunk that Wen Xi didn’t ask anyone to send her back to her elder brother’s house. Instead, she ordered her to be placed in a side hall nearby. Fortunately, today was a holiday, so she wouldn’t miss the opportunity to go to Jie Fang Hall to study. But Wen Xi was
I was feeling stuffy, and my son didn’t have anything to worry about! He started drinking at the age of six, so what’s the point?! So he thought he’d have to teach the monkey a lesson.
While he was minding his own business and sulking, Kangxi woke up from a nap, put on his clothes and came to the side hall to have a look, "It's all Yinreng's fault. Yinli is so young, how can he drink?"
Wen Xi looked at her red-cheeked son on the couch and said in a low voice, "The prince didn't force him to drink, he drank secretly himself!"
"Hiccup~good wine..." Xiao Pitao on the bed swallowed her saliva and murmured unconsciously.
The gentle face suddenly turned greener!
Kangxi couldn't help but laugh, "My son is a good drinker!" (Fortunately, it's four tones here)
In the afternoon, at less than three quarters, Xiao Pomegranate also changed her clothes and rushed back, "Mom, how is the seventeenth brother?" Seeing that Kangxi was also there, he quickly saluted.
Wen Xi pointed at the bed where she saw you for the first time, feeling sulky. The main hall of the side hall was still the same as before, and it was still the furniture that Xiaomi Tao used when he was a kid. He usually studies the piano and needs to burn incense, so it was just the right time to burn incense.
After seeing this, Xiao Pomegranate hurriedly admitted his mistake again, "Brother Seventeen didn't put any wine there originally, but I didn't expect that he took away his son's wine bottle while he wasn't paying attention! My son noticed it.
By then, my brother was already drunk!"
Wen Xi immediately grasped the key point in Xiao Pomegranate's words, immediately squinted her eyes and asked in a bad tone, "Does that mean you drank too?!"
Xiao Pomegranate smiled awkwardly, "The prince's brother poured wine for his son himself. It's hard for the son not to drink, right?" Then he quickly emphasized: "My son only drank that small cup, which was only 1 yuan of wine!"
"Don't worry, don't drink even a drop!" Wen Xi yelled viciously.
"Okay, okay!" Kangxi hurriedly comforted Wen Xi and picked up the newly brewed Biluochun on the table and drank it to moisten his mouth. "Yinlu is not a child anymore. He can't help but drink a little. He knows how to control the amount of alcohol and don't drink it.
Just get drunk."
Wen Xi pursed her lips, put down the octagonal Xiang Fei bamboo fan in her hand, raised her eyebrows, and said half-blamingly: "How old is Yin Lu? What kind of wine are you drinking?!" Then she looked at the one on the bed, who had a bigger butt, Wen Xi
Only then did I understand that they were all led astray by my brother Xiao Pomegranate!
Suddenly Li Dequan came to report that there was an emergency in the previous dynasty, and Kangxi patted the back of the gentle hand again: "Okay, don't be angry, aren't everything fine?"
Reluctantly, Wen Xi agreed first, respectfully escorted Kangxi out, and sent other people in the hall to leave and take care of the doors and windows. After Kangxi left, Wen Xi could give Wen Xi some details, "What did the prince tell you?
?”
Little Pomegranate's still immature face was somewhat mature for her age, but she smiled nonchalantly and said, "What else can I say? What he said is nothing more than trying to win over us brothers and ask us to follow him!
Let's not get close to the eldest brother. My son is not a brainless person, and the fifth brother, seventh brother, and tenth brother are not fools. We just need to say nice things first and deal with it."
Wen Xi nodded. Little Pomegranate was already like a human spirit, so Wen Xi didn't need to worry too much. But after thinking about Little Peach's appearance, she said with a cold face: "You are not allowed to take your brother out of the palace in the future!"
After finishing speaking, Wen Xi ordered Zhu'er to ask someone to come in and clean the side hall. Today, Xiao Mi Tao is going to stay in his palace. Since he moved to his elder brother's house, the empty side hall has only been cleaned regularly.
Wen Xi looked at the ground and it didn't seem very clean. It hadn't rained in the past few days and the air was dry, so there was a little dust on the ground. Wen Xi ordered that everything should be cleaned carefully.
The servant wanted to clean up, so Wen Xi naturally wanted to go back to the main hall, but when he saw a few rough ladies and eunuchs holding long mops in their hands, he hurriedly stopped him, "Where did this thing come from?!" Although Wen Xi
I don’t know when the mop was invented, but in order to mop the floor in the palace, you had to kneel on the ground with a rag to wipe it, so it’s obvious that there was no such thing!
Zhu'er smiled and said: "Master still doesn't know where Changping came from a month ago, or who was so smart as to come up with such a thing. Mopping the floor is the most convenient, it saves effort, and it's easy to wipe.
It’s so clean that three or four people from a side hall can finish it in half an hour! The Ministry of Internal Affairs bought it from Changping! I heard that this thing is also very popular in Beijing!"
"Changping?" The corner of Wen Xi's mouth twitched, it must be Ru Yan's good deeds again! You know she can't be idle all day long! When Shu Lu left the palace, he was also sent to Changping nunnery to accompany the eighth princess to pray for the Queen Mother. It was so hard.
Without her jumping up and down, Wen Xi's life is a little more leisurely, and she actually jumped out again?
"That's all!" Wen Xi waved her hands and they went to work. It wouldn't do her any harm anyway.
Zhu'er continued: "I don't know who came up with such a good thing, Linglong is such a sweetheart!"
Wen Xi snorted and suddenly thought about it, as a time-traveler, am I not doing my job too well? I haven't invented anything good? Is it too embarrassing for the time-traveling predecessors? Others have invented everything and made a lot of money.
It was full, but she could only watch helplessly.
If Yan really loves to flutter her wings, so what if she just loves to fan? From the earliest hand-operated shaved ice machine, she had pirated copies and made favors for concubines in the harem, as well as snow-skin mooncakes. I don’t think she made any money at all.
. And this mop will be pirated everywhere in a few months. Wen Xi has already had a lot of money in her pocket over the years, so why should she care about such a small amount of money?
When I returned to the blue gauze cabinet in my main hall, the rosewood chair with the Wanfu Longevity pattern under my buttocks was a bit hard, so I thought, if Yan loves to plagiarize from future generations, why not plagiarize the sofa? She can also pirate it. I thought of this.
, I couldn’t help but laugh. In fact, Manren’s couch is similar to a sofa. It is similar in shape to a bed. There is a small square table in the middle. People can sit on both sides. There are soft cushions under the buttocks and pillows. It’s just that it’s hot in summer.
, I was too lazy to sit on it. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
