Chapter 374 A House Full of Children and Grandchildren
In a blink of an eye, it’s spring in the 23rd year of Yongzheng’s reign.
The Danning Hall has remained the same for many years. It was a warm day and Chang Li brought Xi Fujin and the children to pay their respects.
Looking at the little carrot heads one by one, Shu Jin couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
Hong Zhou's eldest son Yong Hu is already a well-behaved and sensible child. He can kowtow, salute, and say hello very fluently.
Yes, this child is almost five years old, and is already six years old according to the imaginary age. Hong Zhou is now studying government affairs with the emperor's father and uncle, and there is no need to go to the study room to study. After Hongxin branched out, the study room was completely closed.
.
Now that the study room has been restarted, it will be time for Yonghu to study in a few days.
Yongbi is already a lively child running around, and although Yongying, the son of Zhangjia family, is only half a year younger than Yongbi, she is much thinner and is still held and kowtowed by her nanny.
The youngest fourth elder brother, Yongyao, had just turned six months old, and it was Changli who gave birth to Hongzhou's third son.
There is also Fu Shan, who is wearing a peach-pink palace dress with pink and jade carvings. Looking at this child, Shu Jin can't help but think of Feng Keli when he was young. The child also liked pink clothes the most when he was young.
"Let's all get back together." Shu Jin's voice was a little slow.
Everyone then stood up, and Mrs. Wu Zaku stepped forward and said, "Mother, you seem to be in low spirits, but the lightning and thunder last night disturbed your sleep?"
Shu Jin smiled and said, "It's okay, it's just that seeing Fushan's lovely appearance reminds me of Huairou when she was a child."
Wu Zaku secretly thought, E Niang regards sister Huairou as her biological daughter.
Upon seeing this, Fucha Shunhua of Jin Dynasty gently pushed his daughter.
Fu Shan was a well-behaved and smart child, so she leaned close to Shu Jin's legs, raised her head and called out in a milky voice: "Grandma Imperial~"
Shu Jin smiled and touched her little face, "Fushan is getting more and more handsome. When you grow up, what kind of forehead do you want to have?"
At such a young age, Fushan didn't know what "forehead" was, but she still thought about it seriously for a while, and then said: "Handsome!"
Shu Jin couldn't help but laugh!
Fucha Shunhua said hurriedly: "You kid, you are talking nonsense again!"
At this moment in Qingxi Palace, Qibele Hongxin also entered the palace with his wife and children to pay his respects.
Concubine Mi happily kissed her fat grandson, then took her daughter-in-law Li Jia Qingluan's little hand and said, "You finally look better."
Li Jia Qingluan said softly: "Thank you so much for your concern. The weather is getting warmer, so my body is also feeling warm."
The birth of Qi Fujin's first child was a bit difficult. It took two days and one night of hard work to give birth to a big fat boy. After raising him for half a year, his health started to feel better.
But Concubine Mao was alone looking at the spring peach blossoms in Wuling, and she couldn't help but feel stunned - Feng Keli used to like this peach blossom forest the most.
In the past few years, the royal family has had many children. Needless to say, Hong Zhou already has four sons and one daughter. Six and seven Beile also have their eldest sons. If Hongli had not been imprisoned in Yonghe Palace, he would have given Yongzheng a few more children.
Grandson, even if this is the case, the fourth prince's residence also has two sons and two daughters, and Hongshi also has a legitimate daughter.
At a glance, His Majesty Yongzheng, who is nearly sixty years old, already has eight grandchildren and four granddaughters, which can be regarded as a full house of children and grandchildren.
Whenever there is a family dinner, the scene of a bunch of big and small carrot heads kowtowing is also quite lively.
And whenever he saw the children cuddling with joy, Shu Jin couldn't help but think of Concubine Mao.
When Hong Zhou's concubines and children all knelt down and Chang Li went to work for her in the study, Shu Jin called Lan Ruo to come over.
"At the beginning of spring this year, Concubine Mao fell ill again, and she still coughs all the time." Shu Jin lamented, "I remember that some fine dendrobium was recently donated from the south. Instruct the Imperial Pharmacy to send more.
Let’s go to Ningchun Palace.”
"Yes, I have taken note of it." Lan Ruo bowed in agreement, "I heard from people below that Concubine Mao often goes to Wuling to enjoy the spring flowers recently."
Shu Jin sighed: "Feng Keli used to like peach blossoms the most."
Funkriyirha means cymbidium, but this child doesn't like orchids in the empty valley. Instead, he prefers bright and delicate flowers.
Yes, Feng Keli is a young girl as bright as a peach blossom.
At this moment, the eunuch below reported that the emperor had arrived.
Young Master Shu Jin had no choice but to quickly notify Chang Li in the study, and the two of them came out of the main hall to greet the emperor.
Yongzheng is really much older now. In the past few years, he has been ill almost every winter, and sometimes again in early spring. He gets sick every year, rather than being cured by the imperial doctor.
Once the weather warms up, the disease will subside.
Yongzheng was wearing a dark azurite coat, and dark colors tend to show the most old-fashioned look. Of course, if he wore bright colors, it would not match the look. Yongzheng's old face is really hard to look at now.
The age spots are like bird droppings, and the ravine lines are like the loess plateau caused by soil erosion! The pale goatee and beard, the dull purple and chapped lips...
Time is like a butcher's knife!
Shu Jin clearly remembered that when Yong Zheng was young, he could barely read it.
"Everyone is free of charge." Seeing that his daughter-in-law was there, Yongzheng's face became a little more kind.
Shu Jin personally served tea to His Majesty the Emperor as usual, and said with a bright smile: "The Emperor's complexion is much better, which shows that the atmosphere of the Old Summer Palace is good and can nourish people!"
Yongzheng sighed, "The weather is getting warmer. Even if you don't look good, your face will turn red due to the heat."
Shu Jin didn't know how to answer these words.
Yongzheng sighed sadly, and suddenly looked at the corners of the eyes and eyebrows of the imperial concubine Geng, "I see, you also have wrinkles."
Shu Jin: Which pot won’t be opened and picked up!!
Shu Jin had to keep his smile, "Changli just gave birth to my fourth grandson, how can I not grow old?"
Speaking of his grandchildren, Yong Zheng's eyebrows became a little kinder, "At the beginning, I just saw that Wu Zhaku was a good man and a good fortune."
Mrs. Wu Zhaku felt unhappy after hearing this, but she still said respectfully: "If Khan Ama hadn't given me the marriage, how would my son and I be so lucky?"
Shu Jin secretly thought, Yinan? How Yinan? Is it possible that three is not the end?!
Although he couldn't help scolding the Dog Emperor for favoring boys over girls, he said with a smile on his face: "Changli's good fortune really makes others envious. The day before yesterday, King Kejun Wang Fujin entered the palace and looked at Changli and Yongyao.
, I’m so envious that I can hardly move away.”
Yongzheng sighed regretfully: "I'm afraid it will be difficult for Hongshi to have any heirs." - I'm afraid it's just fate.
Shu Jin smiled: "How could it be? Prince Kejun is still young and strong, so he will naturally have heirs in the future."
Yong Zheng waved his hand and said, "It's God's will. It's useless to force it."
Shu Jin secretly thought that this year Yong Zhengzheng seems to be a little less tough and a little more resigned...
Yes, this year is the 23rd year of Yongzheng!
In this time and space, Yongzheng ascended the throne ten years early, but his life span has already come to an end.
