At the beginning of the year, in the Qianqing Palace, Kangxi had just finished his meal and came to the imperial study room to look at the important information accumulated over the years. The palace servants from the Changchun Palace who came to announce the good news were ushered in by Liang Jiugong.
"This slave is here to see the Emperor."
As soon as the little eunuch entered the royal study and saw the emperor sitting upright next to the royal desk on the third step, he immediately knelt on the ground and shouted loudly.
"Your Majesty, this person was sent by Concubine An of Changchun Palace to tell you the good news. He said that Wei Changzai gave birth to a very healthy little brother at the beginning of noon."
Liang Jiugong, who was standing next to the young eunuch, saw Kangxi raising his head from the memorial and turning his eyes, and immediately explained with a smile on his face.
"Oh? Really? Is there really nothing wrong with my little brother's body?"
After Kangxi, who was sitting in an armchair, heard the good news, he couldn't help but leaned forward slightly, holding the wooden armrest tightly with his right hand, and stared at the palace man kneeling below and asked again.
When Liang Jiugong heard what he said, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "The emperor is really frightened by the crippled diseases of the sixth and seventh elder brothers in the first month."
The little eunuch who came to deliver the message from Changchun Palace was also very clever. Hearing the words, he hurriedly leaned over and said happily:
"Thanks to the Emperor for praying for the Great Qing Zhai, this little brother was born weighing six pounds and eighty taels. When he was taken out of the delivery room by the midwife, our mother-in-law came forward and held the baby in her arms. I can feel my little brother kicking his legs all the time, and his legs are so powerful!"
"Hahahaha, okay, okay, reward! An Bin is a kind person and takes good care of Mrs. Wei, so she should be rewarded!"
When Kangxi heard what the young eunuch said, he immediately stood up from his armchair excitedly.
In the first month of the first month, two Tiancan children were born in the harem, but after he devoutly offered sacrifices to his ancestors and heaven and earth, and fasted and prayed for blessings in the fasting palace for a month, the fasting had just ended today, and he had more children that day. A healthy child! Even though Kangxi knew that the little eunuch's words were a compliment to him, he couldn't help but be happy. He felt that his efforts were rewarded, and God could see his sincerity and hard work!
With his heart surging, he stood up from the armchair and stepped on the carpet for a few steps. Then, as if he had thought of something, he turned around and sat back in the armchair. He picked up the finest sheep hair, dipped it in some royal ink, and waved his hand wantonly on the rice paper. , before the ink on the paper dried, he picked up the rice paper and said to Liang Jiugong who was standing below:
"Liang Jiugong, you will take someone to the warehouse later. When you send rewards to Changchun Palace as usual, you will also bring this with you."
"Yes, I obey your order."
Liang Jiugong hurriedly and respectfully stepped forward, stretched out his hands to take the rice paper, and then turned around and left the Imperial Study Room with the young eunuch from Changchun Palace.
About a quarter of an hour later, the rain stopped outside. Liang Jiugong took out some antique ornaments, jewelry, headdresses and other items from the warehouse, and called seven or eight young eunuchs from the Qianqing Palace to serve them on mahogany trays, followed by An Bin. The little eunuchs walked together along the palace road to the Changchun Palace in the northwest corner.
After the group of people walked out of the Qianqing Palace, Liang Jiugong dared to lower his head and look at the rice paper in his hand, only to see two lines of short words written in black and white on it:
【Eighth Prince Yinsu】
【Good nobleman】
This content was concise and concise. After Liang Jiugong understood it, he raised his head again. With a warm smile on his face, he quickened his pace and continued to walk forward. At the same time, he couldn't help but think in his heart: "The person who is greedy is also a sacrifice." The emperor felt that his Fasting and offering sacrifices were effective, so the eighth prince was given this name?
But from this aspect alone, Brother Eight does have some luck. This child is a lucky person who knows how to choose the day to be born.
Not only did she have a sort and name just after she was born, but she could also benefit her biological mother. The Wei family came from Xinzheku and was currently the youngest mistress in the palace. When she was pregnant, Jing The imperial concubine promoted her "always-on" status to a "noble person", but her rank had not changed at that time, and now she has officially become a titled noble person.
Although it is said that "a gentle and taciturn person is called 'Liang'" 1, the word "Liang" is not a top-notch title compared with "An", "Hui", "Yi" and "Rong", but it will be better if it has a title. It is half a level higher than the simple surname, but it is still profitable. When the eighth prince grows up, in order to give him dignity, the emperor will definitely give him a higher position, even if it is to concubine or concubine, it is possible. , it can be said that a good person is really worth more than his mother...
When Liang Jiugong led his people to send the reward to Changchun Palace, the situation of the eighth prince Yinhu was also spread to other palaces. However, because the background of his biological son Eniang Liang was really poor, and the eighth prince Yinhu's situation was too bad. The power of the mother clan is also pitifully weak. People like Hui, Rong, and Yi who have biological sons under their knees do not pay attention to this little shrimp at all. After listening to the palace servant's report, they waved their hands indifferently. He let them go down with interest.
In the Chuxiu Palace, Qingyan took her son back to the inner room for a lunch break after entertaining Tana.
Xiaosi, who had eaten and drank enough, lay on the big bed smelling the faint fragrance of E Niang and fell asleep soon. Qingyan, who was lying outside, felt her left hand was numb. She was about to lift it up and move it, but she found her son when he moved. Like a little koala, he was hugging her left arm tightly and sleeping soundly. Because the soft flesh on his cheek was pressed against her arm, his little mouth was also squeezed open, and he was fast asleep at this time. , there was glistening saliva on the corner of his mouth again.
She moved to the side. Unexpectedly, Xiaosi, who was sleeping, also unconsciously held her arm and moved to the side. Qingyan was a little dumbfounded, so she had no choice but to stretch her right arm to reach for the handkerchief on the bedside. , gently wiped the corner of Xiao Si’s mouth. I don’t know if the little guy was dreaming about delicious food, but he also chirped twice.
Thinking of Tana accidentally mentioning that "Little Si's eyes look more and more like hers" when she was having dinner today, she simply turned sideways and looked at the little guy's eyebrows. She didn't pay attention to it in the past, but now she looked carefully It took me a while to realize that it was exactly what Tana said.
To be clear about her eye shape, Qingyan herself can't tell. She just has double eyelids, big eyes, and her eyes are particularly bright set off by long, black and thick eyelashes.
In the past two years, Xiao Si's eye shape was exactly the same as that of Kangxi. He had slender red phoenix eyes with inner double eyes. Now that he is about to turn three years old, his eyes have changed from inner double eyes to outer double eyes, and his eyes are much bigger than when he was more than one year old. , at first glance, it looks more and more like her eye shape.
In the past, Qingyan only knew that there was a relationship between husband and wife. The couple ate and lived together, and after years of getting along, they looked similar. Now, looking at the relationship between mother and son, it should also exist...
Her son's regular snoring was mixed with the sound of raindrops sliding down the cracks of the golden glazed tiles from under the eaves. Qingyan also felt a little sleepy, so she closed her eyes and thought about the situation in her heart. The difference from historical records is really getting bigger and bigger.
The fourth elder brother Yinzhen changed the jade certificate and became her son. After the Wuya clan became a guilty minister, there could no longer be a virtuous concubine in the palace. The famous and powerful Princess Haiben in Mongolia became the successor Niu Hulu clan. She gave birth to a daughter, the sixth prince Yin Zuo was changed from the second son of Wuya clan to the eldest son of Tong Guiren, and the adoptive mother of the eighth prince Yinsu was also changed from Hui concubine to An concubine in history. She didn't know that the seven concubines in history were Does elder brother Yinyou have an adoptive mother? But now he has indeed become the adopted son of Mongolian Princess.
Thinking of this, Qingyan couldn't help but shake her head and throw all these chaotic thoughts behind. There are too many variables at present. What the future will be like can only be determined step by step. But what makes her a little relieved is that with the Regarding her relationship with Li, not to mention that Xiaosi and Xiaoba will become as close as Xiaosi and Yinreng in the future, but they should not become the kind of life-and-death rivals in history...
Less than half a month later, in early March, when spring flowers were blooming and people were preparing for spring plowing, the news that "the sixth and seventh elder brothers are Tiancan" and "the emperor fasted and prayed for a month" almost seemed to be given wings. It flew out of the palace and quickly spread to the people.
Some interested people immediately saw the opportunity to exaggerate the previous news and spread the rumor that "if a child born to a royal family is born with a natural disability, there will definitely be a big disaster."
However, due to the two waves of good reputations accumulated by cowpox and ice cubes, except for a few people who were actually affected by the rumors and caused a stir for a while, most people did not take it to heart. After all, they spent all day in order to fill their stomachs. With hard work, they can barely survive today, but they don't have the energy to care about whether there will be any big disaster in the future.
When Kangxi heard about Xiaoliu and Xiaoqi's situation, his first reaction was to get angry, but he quickly calmed down. Because he understood that since he chose to keep these two sons, he could not lock them in the palace. Let's face it, the news that the royal family gave birth to a crippled child will be known to the common people sooner or later.
He was still worried at first. After all, most people were more feudal and superstitious. Unexpectedly, after he sent people to inquire secretly outside the palace, he unexpectedly found that most people did not take this seriously. Da'an, go and do other things directly.
Perhaps because praying for blessings is really useful, everyone soon discovered that the 19th year of Kangxi's reign seemed to be somewhat unusual.
After spring plowing, the weather has always been smooth. In previous years, Kangxi would always receive reports from various places that there was either drought or waterlogging. This year, everything was basically going smoothly, and the harvest of the crop fields had doubled.
Farmers have harvested more grain, businessmen are doing well, and there are even more newborns in the capital. The simple people are still secretly thinking in their hearts: The emperor is indeed worthy of being the emperor, and the emperor's blessings are indeed true.
It will bring blessings.
Not only the common people think this way, but also the civil and military court officials feel that this year is indeed better than previous years, and all the errands in the Yamen are handled smoothly.
In a blink of an eye, the tender green leaves turned into dark green, and the flowers on the branches quickly turned into dense fruits. Several bleak autumn winds blew by, and the green leaves withered and fell.
It was the middle of winter again. In early October, nearly two years after Yibin Guo Luoluo gave birth to her fifth elder brother, Yinzhi, on New Year's Eve the year before last, she became pregnant again.
Half a month later, Concubine Wen Xiaoniu Hulu, who lived in Yongshou Palace, was also pregnant. Because Concubine Wen was the first child and she took her child very seriously. At the beginning, she entered the Princess College as a female teacher teaching arithmetic.
At that time, she originally planned to enjoy the happiness of the children, get pregnant early, and also have a chance to get ahead so that the emperor and the two empresses could see her abilities, but Concubine Wen did not expect to become a female master.
Giving lectures to princesses and clan members was such a tiring job, so as soon as she became pregnant, she told Concubine Jing that she needed to take good care of her baby and was ready to resign from her job.
