"Uh, cool, four-four, also, want, red, dot, dot, ah." Yin Xiaozhen held Qingyan's legs and rocked gently, raising his furry little head and looking at her eagerly.
When the maid who was dressing up the concubine Jing who was sitting on the embroidery stool put red flowers between her brows, she paused for a moment when she heard this, and then continued her movements hurriedly.
Using a black pen, she lightly swiped the concubine’s eyebrows twice, and in a blink of an eye, Concubine Jing’s facial features were already exquisite and outstanding, adding a bit of compelling aura and grace.
After the hand of the dressing lady stopped, Qingyan turned her face slightly to look at her makeup in the glass mirror. She felt very satisfied and felt that the nearly half an hour of dressing up time was not wasted.
"Uh, cool~"
Yin Xiaozhen, who was wearing a red dress, saw that his mother was obsessed with looking at herself in the mirror and ignored him, so she quickly raised her little hand and shook Qingyan's arm.
In the blink of an eye, it’s the end of the month again, and today is April 29th, Qingyan’s nineteenth birthday, and Yinxiaozhen’s first birthday.
This is the first birthday that mother and son have spent together, which is very memorable.
When they were in Yonghe Palace, Xiaosi's third-party shower and full moon were not held, so Qingyan attached great importance to his first-year anniversary ceremony. Not only did mother and son get up early in the morning to tidy up, but the entire Chuxiu Palace was also cleaned inside and outside.
The floor was clean and hung with colorful silk.
Qingyan lowered her head and looked at the little baby girl who had been pricked with curly hair by the little palace maid and had two strands of slightly curly bangs on her forehead. She looked at her with longing eyes, so she had no choice but to stretch out her hair.
She stretched out her arms to pick him up and put him on her lap.
"Xiao Si, take a look for yourself. You're so handsome, why do you still need to put a red mole on your eyebrows?" Qingyan pointed to the clear portrait in the mirror and showed it to Yin Xiaozhen.
The little fourth baby turned his head to look at his own appearance in the mirror, nodded his head with satisfaction, then stretched out his two little hands with dimples to touch his forehead, and said with a sigh: "Uh, cool.
, and ginger, cow, son, all have red dots, four, four, also, want, want ~ "
"There are red dots, four-fours, it will be better to see!"
Qingyan looked at her son who was waving his little fists in front of the mirror and vowed that he already had his own aesthetic. She could only turn to the dressing lady and said: "Since he wants to do it, come and give him a rouge mole."
The little palace maid looked at the fourth prince with expectant eyes and bright eyes, while the imperial concubine, who was the mother-in-law, had a helpless look on her face, suppressed her smile, and said hurriedly and respectfully: "Yes".
Since Si Age's walking became more and more stable, whenever the imperial concubine started to dress up, Si Age would stand aside holding his wooden puppy, looking up at her little head very patiently.
It’s good that such a tiny little baby can keep his attention all the time. However, when the fourth brother saw that the jewelry on his wife’s head was not looking good, he would stand up on tiptoes and had to let her hold him on her lap while he lay on his back.
In front of the dressing table, I stretched out my little hand to pull the jewelry box to select hairpins and silk flowers for the empress.
It's also strange. Every time the jewelry chosen by Fourth Prince is worn on the empress's hair, it will match the flag dress she is wearing. Once it can be said to be accidental, but many times, even the dressing palace maid has to admit that Fourth Prince's
The vision is indeed very unique.
"Mother, these flower patterns are a bit complicated and not suitable for children. In my opinion, Si Age's skin is fair, so he only needs to use rouge to draw a round red dot between his eyebrows. This is both festive and simple.
It’s beautiful.” The dressing-up maid said to Qingyan after selecting from the flower box.
"Okay, then you can paint for him." Qingyan turned Xiaosi's direction so that he was facing the dressing lady, making it easier for the little palace lady to draw.
Xiao Si kept staring at the dressing lady with his inner phoenix eyes. He saw her stretching out her arm to pick up a round white porcelain box with peony flowers painted on it, which was about the size of his little hand, and twisted it gently.
He opened the lid at once, then picked up a thin brush and dipped it in it, then pointed the tip of the brush at his fair forehead.
Sitting sideways, he couldn't see the scene in the mirror. When the cool tip of the pen touched his skin, Yin Xiaozhen felt a little itchy, and his bright black eyes couldn't control their movements up and down.
"Your Majesty, I've finished the painting." The little palace maid's hands were fast and steady, and she quickly said with a happy smile in just a few breaths.
When he heard that the painting was finished, Yin Xiaozhen immediately raised his short arm and wanted to touch his forehead, but was stopped by Qingyan with quick eyes and hands: "Xiaosi, don't touch it, it will be ruined as soon as you touch it. You can see for yourself whether it looks good or not."
.”
Qingyan turned around, and Yin Xiaozhen immediately saw the red dots on her forehead, which were exactly the same as he imagined. The little one was instantly happy, and she pointed at herself in the mirror and said with a sweet voice
: "Well, Liang, Xiaosi, I still want to change into new clothes~"
"Aren't you wearing new clothes?" Qingyan stretched out her hand and pulled the red robe on his body, and asked with some confusion.
Yin Xiaozhen shook his little head and said seriously: "Four, four, I want to wear the same clothes as Niu'er."
"I want to look at things peacefully and not the same."
Yin Xiaozhen shook her short legs and made her request happily.
"No." Qingyan picked up her son and ruthlessly rejected his proposal.
The "Niu'er" he spoke slurringly was actually the young monk "Jiang Liu'er".
Today he wanted to arrest Zhou in front of all the concubines. How could he wear a cassock? Not to mention that there was no cassock for him to wear in the palace!
Seeing E Niang's direct refusal, Yin Xiaozhen also blinked in a good-tempered manner, clasped his two little hands on his chest and said nothing.
Just as Qingyan walked out of the inner room with her son in her arms, she saw Bai Lu hurriedly walking towards her with a smile on her face.
"Your Majesty, everything in the hall has been decorated, and the ladies from all the palaces are almost here."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, let's hurry over now."
The seven concubines, Concubine Wen, Concubine Tong, and Tana were all sitting on armchairs in the hall, drinking tea and quietly waiting for the two birthday girls today.
This is the first time that Concubine Wen Xiaoniu Hulu, who usually lives in seclusion, came to Chuxiu Palace. By drinking tea, she looked around without leaving any trace, and found that the furniture, vases, and ornaments on the ancient shelves in the hall,
As long as they are physical objects, they are all priceless products. Even the tea we are drinking is the top-notch new tea supplied this year.
After seeing clearly the situation in Chu Xiugong, she reached out and put the tea cup on the high table on one side, her eyes lowered and she said nothing.
Except for An Bin and Tana who often come to Chuxiu Palace, this is the first time for everyone else to come to Chuxiu Palace.
Concubine Tong sat in the main hall of the Chuxiu Palace for the first time today. She felt sour in her heart when she saw that this humble cousin, whom she had never liked, could live alone in such a nice palace.
The fine silk handkerchief was almost twisted into braids by her.
"I really kept you sisters waiting for a long time."
A clear voice sounded, and the concubines hurriedly looked up in the direction of the inner room, and saw Concubine Jing with a pink jade tasseled peach blossom hairpin stuck diagonally on her head, a three-petal flower hairpin on her forehead, and wearing a uniform.
The silver-red flag uniform was striding towards them.
The bright sunlight shines on the palace clothes through the glass windows, and you can faintly see the peony flowers and large intertwining branches embroidered with gold thread.
Everyone present was stunned for a moment. Concubine Rong and Concubine Yi had always been the ones with the most flamboyant styles in the palace. In the past, Concubine Jing’s outfits were very simple. Unexpectedly, today she just dressed up a little and then suddenly dressed up like this.
The room full of charming beauties competed with each other.
An Bin watched Qingyan walking towards them with starry eyes the whole time.
Concubine Wen, who was two years younger than Qingyan, did not expect that the cousin of the Empress Yuan would be so good-looking, but she understood in her heart. No wonder the emperor was always in a lack of interest and wanted to rest for a few days after ordering Concubine Jing to sleep with her.
.
With such a beautiful appearance as the imperial concubine in front of me, it would be a bit tasteless if I ordered other people to sleep with me right after.
"My concubine is a little bit fascinated by your concubine's dress today." An Bin stood up from the chair and said with a smile, and also got everyone's attention back.
"Four-four, well, look, duck!" Yin Xiaozhen said loudly when he heard that the familiar Empress An didn't praise him, so he quickly turned his little head away from An's arms.
Only then did everyone look down and saw Si Age being held in Concubine Jing's arms.
"Oh! If you hadn't turned your head, Xiaosi, Ms. An wouldn't have known that there was such a handsome little brother in this palace!" Concubine An also immediately started acting, speaking loudly and exaggeratedly.
Praising Yin Xiaozhen.
Yin Xiaozhen's little face couldn't help but turn red with embarrassment after being praised by outsiders, but he still nodded his head reservedly, as if he was acknowledging what An Bin said.
Such a cute and clever move instantly made everyone present couldn't help but burst into laughter. Only Concubine Tong looked at Yinzhen with a complicated expression.
Concubine Jing also stretched out her hand in a funny way and pinched the curly hair on the top of Yin Xiaozhen's head, thinking that the time was about to reach an auspicious time, and she didn't know if Kangxi would come today.
Just as Qingyan was thinking this in her heart, the sound of a whip suddenly sounded outside the door.
Everyone followed the sound and looked towards the entrance of the main palace, and saw the emperor holding a little baby in his arms, followed by the eldest brother and the little prince.
"I am here to see you, Your Majesty." Everyone quickly stood up and bowed to salute.
When Kangxi saw Qingyan, his eyes instantly lit up with surprise. When he saw the pink jade peach blossom hairpin inserted sideways in her black hair, his mood became even better.
"Everyone, let's get up and start catching Zhou." Kangxi held his little daughter in his arms and said loudly.
After hearing what the emperor had said, Qingyan didn't say anything else. She carried Yin Xiaozhen directly to a long table covered with red cloth. There were seals, books, pens, inks, paper and inkstones, abacus, and money on the table.
, account books, jewelry, food, toys, etc. 1. It can be said that all the common things that are usually used in Zhouzhou gifts are placed here.
"Xiaosi, go and grab something you like."
Qingyan put the little baby on the edge of the table, patted his fleshy little butt and said.
Nowadays, people take Zhuozhou very seriously and believe that what they catch during the Zhuozhou ceremony can express their children's ambitions when they grow up.
For example, what the prince captured when he captured Zhou was the emperor's seal. On the day when his elder brother and third elder brother turned one year old, they both rushed back to the palace to hold a ceremony to capture Zhou. The former captured a small bow and arrow, while the latter captured a book.
It can be considered a very good meaning.
Everyone also focused their attention on the bright red little dot, wanting to see what Brother Four would catch today.
Qingyan had also trained Xiaosi to grab books before, as books have good meanings and are safe.
However, she was keeping a close eye on Yin Xiaozhen at this time, for fear that he would catch him too well and cause unnecessary trouble, and she was also afraid that if he did not catch it well and his reputation would be affected, she watched the small breast dumplings crawling on the table.
She crawled over, but couldn't catch anything, so she couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
"Xiaosi, go and grab something you like!" Qingyan couldn't help but say again.
Yin Xiaozhen turned his head and saw E Niang urging him from behind.
He spread his short legs and sat on the table, then bent down and stretched out his hand to touch a small round white porcelain box.
Qingyan was shocked.
Kangxi's face also turned bad instantly.
I saw my youngest son holding a rouge box in his left hand. As if he knew what it was, he used his right hand to unscrew its lid, then stretched out his little hand and touched it inside, then took out the red rouge box.
I applied it to my white and tender cheeks! In an instant, the little baby girl grew a few "red beards" out of thin air.
In an instant, the entire hall became quiet, and Grandma Jixiang also felt that she was unlucky. Looking at the scene in front of her, she didn't know what auspicious words to say now.
Qingyan was even more shocked and didn't know what to say. She had obviously taught him how to grasp books before!
Concubine Tong put the handkerchief at the corner of her mouth and sneered, feeling in her heart that even if the child born to the slave Yangzi had a noble adoptive mother, she would never be able to get rid of that despicable temperament.
She said with a strong sarcasm in her tone: "I think the fourth elder brother will definitely be a man very popular with women in the future. I am afraid that the imperial concubine will have to choose some good servants for the fourth elder brother in advance."
Several children present could not understand her words, but the adults all understood the implication of Concubine Tong's words: Fourth Brother caught Zhou and Rouge, which shows that in the future, he will be addicted to makeup and powder and is destined to have no great future.
Hearing Concubine Tong's sarcasm, Kangxi's face became even worse.
Just when Qingyan was about to say something else, Yin Xiaozhen suddenly turned around and picked up a thin book, stretched out his two short arms and pressed the table to stand up.
Holding the book in his left hand and the rouge box in his right hand, he held the curly hair on his head and waddled like a little duck with short legs towards his Khan Ama and his mother-in-law.
When they reached Qingyan, Siwa smiled sweetly and stretched out her little hand to hand the rouge box to her.
No one expected that there would be such a change.
At this time, Grandma Jixiang, who was standing aside, quickly seized the opportunity and shouted loudly with a smile on her face: "The fourth brother caught the book at the first birthday ceremony, and he will definitely be a smart and diligent Batulu in the future. She also specially came back with a bottle of rouge.
Give it to the noble concubine, you are so sincere and filial!"
When Qingyan heard such auspicious words, she immediately became happy and quickly stretched out her arms to take her son into her arms and kissed him.
Kangxi was also very satisfied with the result of Xiao Si's capture of Zhou, and he hurriedly laughed and said: "Xiao Si caught Zhou well, reward him!"
In an instant, the originally tense atmosphere became relaxed.
Everyone saw that the emperor and Concubine Jing were so happy, and they also spoke out a string of auspicious words with great eyes and joy.
Only Concubine Tong, who was standing at the front, felt her cheeks burning hot, as if she had been slapped hard invisibly. She was embarrassed and annoyed and wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in immediately, but
The adults all heard the implication of Concubine Tong's words: Fourth Brother captured Zhou and captured Rouge, which shows that in the future, he must be addicted to makeup and powder and is destined to have no great future.
