In the main hall of Cining Palace, the Queen Mother gently closed her eyes and leaned on the soft pillow, slowly turning the Buddhist beads in her hand.

Kangxi and Liang Jiugong strode into the hall, and saw Mama Huang who was sitting on the soft couch with her eyes closed and concentrating. She hurriedly walked forward with light steps, leaned over slightly and saluted: "My grandson, give it to Mama Huang.

Please greet me."

The Queen Mother raised her eyelids and glanced at her grandson, gently shook the Buddhist string in her hand twice, and then said calmly: "Xuan Ye is here, go find a chair and sit down."

The imperial edict announced a few days ago at the memorial ceremony for the third anniversary of the Empress Yuan Dynasty was actually made by Kangxi himself on the spur of the moment without consulting the Empress Dowager in advance. Now she is a little unhappy.

Kangxi, who knew he was in the wrong, raised his hand to touch the bridge of his nose in embarrassment, and then sat obediently on the armchair closest to his royal mammy.

After he sat down, the Empress Dowager saw the obvious embarrassment on Kangxi's face, and the depression in her heart gradually disappeared.

Chenghu was her eldest great-grandson. When he passed away, Xuan Ye was accompanying her to recuperate at the Tangquan Palace in Chicheng. In order to avoid being sad, Xuan Ye forcibly mentioned it even after receiving the news that Chenghu had died in the palace.

His spirit did not show up in front of her. Later, the Yuan Dynasty Queen Hesheli fell ill. When Xuan Ye rushed to the palace to accompany her, he learned the truth from Aunt Sumala.

Because of this unexpected stimulation, her condition, which was about to recover, suddenly worsened.

When she learned that Xuan Ye had given the child the title of crown prince, she was actually willing to do so from the bottom of her heart.

But what she was unhappy about was the emperor's behavior. He had to read out the imperial edict directly in front of everyone paying tribute. Wouldn't it be a slap in the face of the Niu Hulu clan? If it had been a few days earlier or two days later, it would not have caused the current harem.

turbulence in.

Even she, who lives in the far west, has been hearing frequent rumors recently that the successor Niu Hulu "hid her pregnancy and cheated on the canonization ceremony." You can imagine how chaotic the palace is now!

Normally Niu Hulu was very sensible and managed the palace affairs in an orderly manner. She was very satisfied with her successor as grandson-in-law, but this time even she had to admit that Queen Niu Hulu was indeed

What a bad move!

Rather than the apparent chaos, she was more angry at her grandson's willfulness!

The sentence "Prince Fuchen is the favorite of all my sons" clearly poked her lungs, forcing her to recall the Dong E family who had caused her a lifetime of pain...

Suppressing all the chaotic thoughts in her mind, the Empress Dowager held back her anger and took a sip of tea from the table on her right, then stared at Kangxi sitting at the bottom with her sharp eyes.

, said in a low voice: "Now that the child in Niu Hulu's belly is more than four months old, can you honestly tell Ai Jia what you really think in your heart?"

"The Ai family also heard that you haven't been to Kunning Palace for more than half a month? How could it be possible that you really don't want this child to be born?"

Hearing this, Kangxi's brows couldn't help but frown, and he looked up at the Empress Dowager: "Huang Ma Ma, tiger poison can't even eat its seeds. It's okay if Niu Hulu doesn't believe me. Why are you like this?"

Where are the ideas?”

The Empress Dowager choked hard when she saw the grievances in her sweet grandson's eyes. Could it be that he was the only one who didn't realize that he loved the little prince as if he were eyeballs and had to be tied to his pants to ensure his success?

Do you carry it everywhere with you on your belt?

As the successor, Niu Hulu's family's power is even greater than that of the Crown Prince's mother's family. When the Emperor loves the legitimate son of Empress Yuan so much, she is worried that the Emperor will not be able to tolerate her children. This kind of thinking is quite normal...

Kangxi looked at the suspicious look of the Empress Dowager, and could only sigh and said: "If the child is an imperial daughter, she will be my first Princess Gu Lun, but if she is born as a little brother, I am afraid she will still need

Madam Huang Ma helps."

When the Empress Dowager heard this, she was a little confused as to what Kangxi was thinking, and asked hurriedly: "Xuan Ye, what do you mean by this?"

"I have been thinking about it for several days. If the child is successfully born as a little brother at the end of the year, the Niu Hulu clan will have more stewards and assistants than the Hesheli clan. In order to secure the position of crown prince,

Be stable, when this child grows up, I will find him a good girl in Horqin to be his blessing, don't you ask for your help?"

When the Empress Dowager heard Kangxi's words, she couldn't help lowering her head, stroking her cup and thinking deeply. Marrying to Mongolia would eliminate the possibility of this child ascending to power through the power of her powerful maternal clan in the future.

E Niang is a queen of noble birth. After the prince ascends the throne, he will definitely be a prince in the future. Living a life of wealth and leisure without pressure is the best choice at the moment...

The Empress Dowager had no fault with her grandson's behavior, and was even happy. After all, Horqin was also her natal family.

Seeing that the most difficult matter had been solved, she was also interested in talking about other things, so she smiled and led the topic elsewhere: "Why do you want to take Xiaosi to Chuxiu Palace to raise him?"

Mentioning the sons, the somewhat solemn atmosphere between the grandfather and grandson instantly became relaxed, and Kangxi's eyebrows were also stained with a thick smile: "Imperial Mammy, you don't know, those two silly boys accept death, and they are not allowed to die."

I feel that my younger brothers and sisters were all grown by me planting gourds with their own hands, and Baocheng has been pestering me all day long to make noises about leaving the palace and going to Chuoerji's house to see Yinzhi."

"I'm also thinking about raising the fourth child in the Chuxiu Palace. Their children meet many times, and it's easy to develop feelings for them, right?"

The Queen Mother also smiled and nodded. In her opinion, as long as Xuan Ye did not take the child to Concubine Tong, she would be happy.

Thinking that it was not easy for little Heshel to conceive, the Queen Mother suddenly asked her grandson curiously: "Then will Xiaosi's Jade Butterfly be changed to the name of little Hesser? After all, this child now doesn't even have his mother's family anymore."

.”

Hearing this, a dodgey look flashed in Kangxi's eyes. Seeing that he couldn't be deceived, he could only say vaguely: "Huang Ma Ma, actually, I haven't asked the clan to give the mistress a jade butterfly yet."

The Empress Dowager was also shocked by the news. Good guy, her little great-grandson is almost one month old, and now he is still a black man!

Kangxi saw that Madam Huang looked at him as if he was a scumbag father, so he quickly took the tea handed over by Aunt Sumala, lowered his head and drank it.

Alas, he felt helpless when talking about this. In fact, even he himself didn't understand why.

Whenever he was preparing to give Xiaosi a jade butterfly, there would always be a mysterious and mysterious thought lingering in his mind. This subtle feeling forced him to not let Xiaosi be recorded in the name of Wu Ya, so all his four sons were.

It’s been dark for a month, and I still don’t have a mother yet...

In the main hall of Kunning Palace, Mrs. Niu Hulu sat on the soft couch with a fragile face and red eyes.

Cuizhi carefully walked to her side with a bowl of warm anti-fetal medicine, leaned over slightly and said, "Master, why don't you drink this bowl of medicine first?"

Mrs. Niu Hulu turned to look at the white porcelain medicine bowl, tears instantly falling from her eyes: "Cuizhi, do you think I shouldn't hide my pregnancy from the Emperor?"

Cuizhi felt that her master's mood had become extremely unstable since she became pregnant. The master did not shed tears so easily before, so he quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears:

"Master, the position of successor belongs to you. If the emperor knew that you were pregnant at that time, I am afraid that the candidate for this position will only have troubles. What's more, under normal circumstances, many people are pregnant, and they will wait until the fetal position is stable.

You said it after three months, what's wrong with you?"

When Mrs. Niu Hulu heard this, she felt much better. She held her breath and drank the anti-fetal medicine in one gulp. After wiping the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, she handed the small bowl to Cuizhi.

But she knew in her heart that she did not think carefully about what she did this time, and it was right for the emperor to be angry. She only hoped that the emperor would not be unhappy with this child...

Just when the air pressure in Kunning Palace was low and full of the smell of medicine, Chengqian Palace in the east was no less generous.

Mrs. Tong frowned and finished the bowl of dark brown bitter soup, then raised her head and said to Nanny Tong: "Is there any more? I think you can drink some more."

"Your Majesty, this is medicine that is three-thirds poisonous. Can you calm down!" Aunt Tong took the small bowl from her with a headache and couldn't help but growl at her.

She felt that she would faint sooner or later because of Concubine Tong's anger. Ever since the news of the Queen's pregnancy spread, Concubine Tong became a little bit crazy.

She was asked to have the hospital prescribe a lot of medicines to help her get pregnant at once. She drank the medicines like porridge three times a day and couldn't stop her. She was simply crazy!

Hearing the strong disapproval in the tone of the person opposite, Concubine Tong knocked over the bottles and cans on the table, then lay down on the table, crying and shouting:

"Mommy, how can you keep me calm? Why can't I get pregnant when others can give birth? Those older and younger than me have children, and now even Niu Hulu has a child.

, Wuwuwuwuwu, why do I have to carry and raise a child born to slave Yangzi when other people have biological children?"

Seeing Concubine Tong's collapse, Aunt Tong didn't know what to say to comfort her now. Her master and his stepmother entered the palace at the same time, but their current situations are very different. It can only be said that it is God's will, and there is no control over it.

…

…

After the storm of post-conception pregnancy subsided completely, the time came to the end of the month.

May 29th.

Qingyan was bored and nestled on the couch in the east side hall, looking at Xiao Changquan who was being fed cold tomatoes by her nanny not far away.

After the nanny wiped the juice from his mouth, Xiao Changquan, who had a red mouth, couldn't wait to walk up to Qingyan with swaying steps and asked for credit: "Fuck, eh

Mother, Chang, Quan, finished eating all the persimmons!"

"Ah! Changquan is really awesome!" Qingyan smiled and stretched out her hands to carry him onto the soft bed covered with cool mat, then shook the fan in her hand to gently fan her godson twice.

Xiao Changquan, who was praised, laughed happily, like a well-fed kitten, lying on the cool mat with his little butt sticking out, yawning and asking with a purr:

"Brother, brother, why don't you come?"

On a summer afternoon, listening to the noisy chirping of cicadas outside the window, Qingyan felt a little sleepy. She patted her godson's little buttocks and said, "Maybe it's too hot on the road. My brothers have to ride in the shade of trees to achieve this speed."

Slow down a little, if Chang Quan is sleepy, just go to sleep first, and when you wake up, Brother Prince and the others will come."

"Hmm, um, wait for brother, brother..." Xiaonuituanzi yawned and shed tears sleepily. He was still talking about brother, and then he turned over and snored a little and fell asleep.

Qingyan looked at Xiao Changquan who fell asleep for a second with amusement, took the thin blanket next to him and covered his belly, then gently got off the bed, pulled up her shoes and moved the ice cube away.

After walking a little further, he whispered to the nanny: "Keep an eye on Chang Quan and wake him up when the time is almost up. Don't sleep too much in the afternoon and stay up late at night."

The nanny also hurriedly leaned over and said softly: "Please don't worry, I will take good care of the young prince."

Qingyan nodded again, yawned twice, and lazily walked out of the door of the East Side Hall.

As soon as she went out, the hot and dry atmosphere that filled the air almost forced her to step back. Qingyan couldn't help but frown. The weather was too hot for her.

If the little prince and Baoqing hadn't already agreed in advance, they would definitely go to Yonghe Palace with him to see Xiaosi after class today.

She really didn't want the two children to come here. It would be troublesome if they got heatstroke on the way.

Just as Qingyan was about to go to the west hall opposite to see how the palace officials had cleaned up the house, she heard the little prince calling her.

"Aunt~"

Qingyan hurriedly turned to look at the palace gate and saw the two brothers who were pedaling a tricycle hard. Even though there was a parasol above their heads, their little faces were still red with heat, let alone following behind them.
