Chapter 186 Chapter 186(1/3)
He Zhuer, who broke out in a cold sweat at night, was running hard along the east-west palace road towards the North Fifth Palace. Unexpectedly, as soon as he ran to the Imperial Garden, he saw Concubine Jing hurriedly walking out of the palace holding Princess Ke Jing.
, his eyes suddenly lit up, he quickly took three steps and then ran two steps, quickly rushed to Concubine Jing, leaned over anxiously and said:
"Empress, this servant has finally seen you. You should hurry back to Chuxiu Palace. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Fourth Brother made the Emperor very angry because they talked back to him. Now they are both wearing thin clothes and standing by the east wall.
I was thinking about facing the wall at the big slide."
"What?"
When Qingyan heard this, she was shocked. There were three eunuchs who came to report to her on the way from the Princess Academy to Chuxiu Palace, but the information they conveyed was different from each other, and her knowledge was still unclear.
Zhang Tianxi, who was following behind, told her about the two children who burned the New Year's gift in Prince Chun's Mansion behind the adults' backs. How come Yinreng and Xiaosi were already punished by their Khan Ama in the blink of an eye?
Feeling the chilly temperature outside, Qingyan hugged the warm and soft little body of Xiao Kejing in her arms, and became more anxious. She said urgently to He Zhuer who was standing in front of her and saluting:
"He Zhu'er, we were talking as we walked, please tell me carefully from beginning to end what happened? Why did Baocheng and Xiaosi burn the New Year's gift from their uncle Wang, and why did they talk back to the emperor?
?”
After playing with Concubine Jing in the North Fifth House all day, little Kejing, who was now a little drowsy in the arms of Concubine Jing, was also awakened by the sound of the two talking, and opened his mouth to yawn.
Clear, black, round, almond-shaped eyes
A thin layer of mist appeared in her eyes. She blinked her eyes and shook her dizzy little head to cheer up and look at Manager Xiao He. She also wanted to hear what happened to the prince and fourth brother.
What happened.
He Zhuer also knew that time was urgent now, so he nodded quickly and moved away to follow Concubine Jing on the right side. As he walked forward, he turned his face and spoke clearly:
"Your Majesty, around the end of the Shen Dynasty, the servant and the Crown Prince came to the Chuxiu Palace to look for Princess Kejing. Who would have thought that after entering the main hall, they only saw Si Age lying on the soft couch tinkering with the gifts in the storehouse. After asking, I found out about you.
The fourth princess and I are still in the fifth northern residence and haven’t returned yet.”
"The recruitment format for female teachers has changed this time. I added an extra written test for the candidates in the morning, so I came back late today. You can continue."
Qingyan hugged little Kejing who was about to slide down, and said a casual sentence, which was an indirect answer to the reason why she came home late.
"Yes." He Zhuer nodded and said, "I don't know what Fourth Brother is going to do. He brought a total of more than a dozen items from the warehouse, and among them, Prince Chun's Palace happened to be given to you.
I gave you four small glass bottles of black blessing | longevity | ointment.”
"After His Highness discovered the thing, he raised his hand and picked up a bottle from the soft couch. He lowered his head and looked at it carefully for a while, and immediately said that he suspected that the thing was a poison that would cause people to see Changshengtian after eating it, so he ordered it to be taken away.
All the palace servants except the servants were sent outside the main hall, and the servants were ordered to unscrew the sealed lid and plan to burn it with fire."
"Dark blessing | longevity | ointment? Baocheng said it is a bad thing? Want to burn it?"
When Qingyan heard this, her eyes widened instantly. She stopped and turned to look at He Zhuer. A guessing idea suddenly passed through her mind, and her heart jumped rapidly with "bang bang bang".
Several palace attendants following Concubine Jing didn't understand why Concubine Jing suddenly stopped. He Zhuer also stopped in confusion and explained to her in further detail:
"Yes, Your Majesty, that black thing is the life-prolonging ointment on the market that is said to be equivalent to gold, but His Highness the Crown Prince insisted that the thing was poisonous and should not be eaten. After the slave opened the lid, he personally picked up a silver spoon.
After digging out a large spoonful, he threw it into the silver charcoal basin. Unexpectedly, when the paste hit the charcoal fire, a wisp of gray smoke and a pungent smell came out. When His Highness saw this, his face changed.
It suddenly became dark with a "swish" sound, and he dug out the remaining bottles of paste and threw them into the charcoal basin, but the smoke that came out was too much, and the whole hall was filled with smoke.
It’s made a mess and can’t treat anyone.”
"Fourth Brother
Then he cleverly found a bottle of potpourri perfume from the pile of things on the soft couch. He originally wanted to suppress the pungent smell, but who knew that the smell of the blessing | longevity | ointment was so overbearing that it not only suppressed the smell, but also suppressed the smell.
Instead of going down, it was mixed with the smell of perfume, and it became fragrant and smelly, with a vague sweet and greasy smell. It was really weird, and the three of us had to run to the west side of the palace of the fourth elder brother.
Unexpectedly, the three of us had only been in the side hall for a while when the emperor and the servant's master came running."
He Zhuer raised his head and glanced at the imperial concubine's face, which also turned cold and serious. He swallowed his saliva and summed up the following sentence in a short and simple manner:
"Originally, His Highness and Fourth Prince's attitude towards admitting their mistakes was quite good. His Highness also said that he was 'preserving the show and selling cigarettes', but the Emperor just said that the Fu | Shou | ointment was an expensive health medicine tribute to the royal family.
, His Highness suddenly lost his temper for some reason, and began to sarcastically talk back to the Emperor. The Fourth Brother standing next to him also followed suit, and the next scene was completely out of control."
After finishing his long words, He Zhuer lowered his head in shame with a hot face, and his voice became softer and quieter. If it hadn't been so dark, everyone could see that his ears were red. After all,
He was the only adult in the hall at that time. Not only did he fail to stop the young prince's reckless behavior, but he obediently unscrewed the glass bottle. Strictly speaking, he also played a part in the smoke-filled main hall.
.
After hearing what he said, the other adults fell into deep silence for a while.
Bai Lu looked up speechlessly at the bright moon in the sky, wondering in her heart, on this day when the master was no longer at home, how could the usually well-behaved and sensible Si Age and His Highness the Prince suddenly turn into bold and naughty children?
Playing with fire in this palace is really not something that can be joked about! If it really goes wrong by accident, half of the Chuxiu Palace will be gone if it says no!
Zhang Tianxi, who was standing next to her, also had his eyes twitching wildly. He was not in the hall. He only knew that what the two young masters were burning was a New Year gift from Prince Chun Longxi, but he never expected that His Highness the Crown Prince and Si Age would be so good at it.
I picked up the most expensive blessing | longevity | ointment to burn! How much gold was lost!
Qingyan also wiped her face with a free hand with complicated emotions, connecting this information with past memories. She had almost guessed that the dark ointment must be the sinful opium.
! She used to think that opium only appeared in the late Qing Dynasty, but she didn't expect that it was available now, and it also appeared in her palace. She didn't know how to express her feelings for a while.
"Empress Jing~"
Xiao Kejing actually didn't quite understand He Zhuer's words, but when she saw that everyone suddenly stopped talking, the imperial concubine also became silent. The prince brother and fourth brother were still waiting for them to plead, so she hurriedly raised her head to Xiao Kejing.
He tugged Concubine Jing's sleeve with his head and shouted softly.
Qingyan came back to her senses, put away all the thousands of thoughts that appeared in her mind, and said to the people around her:
"Okay, I have almost figured out the matter. Let's go back quickly."
As soon as she finished speaking, Concubine Jing hurried to the Chuxiu Palace on the west side as quickly as possible. Bai Lu and others did not dare to delay any longer and hurriedly raised their feet to catch up.
A short while later, after the group of people crossed the mahogany threshold of Chuxiu Palace, walked down the steps, and stepped on the bluestone floor in the front yard, Qingyan hugged little Kejing and walked around the cradle swing and sand pit to the east wall.
Behind the big slide, looking at Xiao Si and Yin Reng without even wearing woolen clothes under the bright and cold moonlight, they frowned tightly.
"Brother Prince! Fourth brother!"
After seeing the two of them, Xiao Kejing immediately shouted out in her tender voice.
When the two brothers heard the sound, they quickly turned around and looked back. When they saw the imperial concubine coming back, they turned around and ran over in surprise, and shouted in unison:
"Eniang!"
"Auntie!"
The cold wind at night was very cold. Qingyan handed the little girl in her arms to Bai Lu who was standing next to her. She stretched out her hands and grabbed the hands of Xiao Si and Yin Reng. She felt them both cooling off as if they were cold.
With my hands soaked in ice water, my original intention of scolding them for their reckless behavior disappeared in an instant. I rubbed my warm hands on the backs of the two brothers' hands with some distress, and asked in a low voice.
:
"Do you two realize where you went wrong?"
"I understand, aunt, even if Gu knew that the blessing | longevity | ointment was a bad thing, I couldn't help but take Xiaosi to burn it without waiting for you to come back. I couldn't control my emotions in front of Khan Ama and talked back to him."
Except for being spanked by his Khan Ama when he was a child, this was the first time Yinreng was punished by Kangxi to face the wall and think about his mistakes. Usually the relationship between father and son is the best, so after staying outside for nearly a quarter of an hour, the feeling in his heart
After my hatred for Fu|Shou|Gao dissipated, my mood became very depressed and low when I thought of Khan Amma.
Xiaosi also blinked and said with some distress:
"Mom, I also know where I went wrong. I shouldn't have gone against Khan Ama. If he wants to spank me in the future, I, I will let him spank me, and I will never get under the bed again."
When Qingyan heard her nephew's words, she thought they were quite reliable. When she heard her son's words, she couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth slightly and wanted to ask him, "Xiaosi, do you really know where you went wrong?"
But before Qingyan could speak again, Yinreng nervously grabbed her soft hand and asked expectantly:
"Auntie, you know that the blessing | longevity | ointment is poisonous and cannot be eaten. If you eat it, you will die, right?"
"eat?"
Qingyan didn't understand her nephew's words for a moment, so she couldn't help but asked in confusion.
When Yinreng heard this, he became anxious instantly. Doesn't his aunt know Fu | Shou | anointing?
"Auntie, Humen is destroying opium. There is a man named Lin Zexu who is destroying opium in Humen. Don't you know? I am imitating Mr. Lin today and carrying out the 'showing off opium'!"
Yinreng asked anxiously, how could it be? He clearly had a feeling that his aunt and Khan's Ama were different. She should understand her experience in the world of Changshengtian. Why couldn't she understand him now?
What if?
Qingyan saw her little nephew's anxious look and hurriedly spoke out to calm him down, and asked tentatively:
"Baocheng, do you think opium is for eating? Is burning cigarettes in Humen also done with fire?"
"Isn't it?"
Yinreng was stunned when he heard this, and asked in confusion.
Qingyan was dumbfounded when she saw that he didn't seem to be hypocritical. She recalled that a few years ago, after Yinreng was infected with cowpox and just woke up, he stood on the bed and shouted loudly that many people lost their lives after "eating" black opium.
Motivated.
At that time, she didn't pay much attention to the word "eat", thinking it was purely because Yinreng was too young and expressed it incorrectly. Now that she heard that he was almost seven years old and still said "eat" opium, she could almost guess it.
In modern times he
What happened in the world? The truth is ninety-nine out of ten. It must be that while "she" in that time and space was memorizing modern history with a history book, Yinreng learned about the dangers of opium from "her" mouth, and about Lin Zexu's "
The story of "Humen Destroyed Opium".
To be continued...
