Qingyan's imperial concubine canonization ceremony ended, and immediately afterwards, the little prince also celebrated his eighth birthday in Chuxiu Palace.
After the Dragon Boat Festival, the temperature got higher and higher day by day, and the amount of ice used in each palace increased day by day. The Forbidden City entered the scorching summer, and Xiao Si was aggrieved and had his head shaved by their Khan Ama, and he felt depressed for a little while.
moon.
After Zhang Tianxi retrieved the golden curling wig made of his hair from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Xiaosi was instantly resurrected with full health. From time to time, he would put his wig on his head and stand in front of the mirror to look beautiful.
He was also specifically asked to
E Niang got herself a suit of Western clothes, put them on and asked the little palace maid who was good at painting to draw him a self-portrait of him holding a trident and imitating Wu Song's bravery, only going up the mountain to fight a tiger.
Xiaosi was very satisfied with his "Fighting a Tiger in a Dress" statue, and specially ordered the palace servants to frame it with glass and hang it in his west side hall.
On June 25th, at the end of the morning, the school bell for South Third School rang.
Today is a little different from usual. Xiaosi and Changquan took the final exam papers given to them by their masters. Both of them got "excellent" grades, which indicates that their enlightenment is over and they can graduate from Nansan School.
After a few days of rest, I needed to go to the still study.
Changquan was very excited. In order to let his mother, mother, and sister see his good grades as soon as possible, he hurriedly waved goodbye to Xiaosi after school, and happily ran out of the study door and called to the nanny who was waiting outside.
Ma went to find his Ama and left the palace to return to Prince Yu's mansion.
After Changquan left, Xiao Si was thinking about E Niang's loss of appetite when she and E Niang had breakfast together in the morning. She also packed her schoolbag and just put her backpack on her back when she heard "
A loud little voice came from the door: "Fourth brother!"
Wearing a sapphire blue robe and a wide-brimmed hat on his head, Xiao Wuyi led his younger brothers to run to intercept Xiao Si after school. Normally, when they came, they would find that his fourth brother had already run away. This time
Wu Xiaotuanzi ran over as fast as he could. When Xiao Wu ran to the door panting, he saw that Xiao Si had not left yet. His peach blossom eyes lit up instantly and he shouted in surprise.
.
Because Xiao Wu stopped suddenly at the door of the study, Xiao Yinzuo, Xiao Yinyou, Xiao Yinsu, and Xiao Fulhun who were following him and couldn't stop in time all crashed into a ball.
.
When Xiao Si turned his head around in response to the sound, he saw the little breasted dumplings pushing and pushing each other at the door, all sitting on the ground with their buttocks squatting, blocking the door tightly. He couldn't help but blink.
A hard jump.
The next moment, the five little guys pressed their hands on the ground and slowly climbed up from the ground with their little buttocks stuck out. Xiaoba, the youngest, had just stood up and suddenly sat down because his legs were unstable.
When they got to the ground, they even fell down and squatted down. Xiaoba didn't cry. He spread his short legs and sat on the ground. He looked up at his brothers cheerfully and said slowly in a milky voice.
:
"Hahahahaha, Xiaoba's butt was sucked by the ground."
When Xiaosi heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched uncontrollably, and he quickly walked over and picked up Xiaoba, patting the dust on his butt with his hands.
Xiaowu, on the other hand, sucked in his bulging belly and loudly ordered his brothers to stand up quickly in order from oldest to youngest in the "Eagle Catching Chicken" sequence. When all five of them raised their hands, one by one pulled the person in front of them.
When the schoolbags on his back were lined up, Xiaosi raised his hand and wiped his face resignedly and stood in front of Xiaowu, acting as the "chicken mother" protecting the "chickens".
Liang Jiugong, who was waiting outside Nansan Institute, heard the chirping sound of little chickens inside and knew that several little brothers were about to come out. He turned around with a smile and saw a helpless "Mama Chicken" leading a team.
The cheerful, lively and active "chicken boy" came out.
He suppressed his smile, hurriedly stepped forward, leaned down and saluted, "I would like to pay my respects to you, my young masters."
"Eunuch Liang, why are you here?"
Xiao Si looked around and found that except for Liang Jiugong and Ful Hulun's nannies, the palace attendants from Shoukang Palace, Changchun Palace, Xianfu Palace and Chuxiu Palace who usually came to pick up their brothers were all missing. He couldn't help but wonder.
He opened his mouth and asked.
After hearing Fourth Brother's words, Xiao Wu and others also poked their heads out from behind one by one, looking up at Liang Jiugong with confused expressions.
Liang Jiugong saw the little brothers looking at him cutely, the smile in his eyes became deeper, and his voice softened and he said:
"The fourth elder brother, the fifth elder brother, the sixth elder brother, the seventh elder brother, the eighth elder brother, and the servants were ordered by the emperor to take you to Qianqing Palace for dinner. You don't need to worry. The people who were waiting outside to take you back to the palace are also here.
I have already gone back to report the news to the Queen Mother and your empress."
"Then cousin Xiao4, cousin Xiao5, Xiaoliu, Xiaoqi, Xiaoba, I'll go find my Amma with my nanny first."
When Ful Hulun heard this, he knew that Uncle Huang must call his cousin. The cousins had something to do, so he wisely let go of Xiao Wu's schoolbag, broke away from the "chicken boy" team, and was picked up by the nanny standing next to him.
He turned around and left first.
"Fourth brother, let's hurry up and find Khan Ama. The royal meal must have been placed on the table."
After the little cousin left, Xiao Wu turned to greet Xiao Liu, grabbed his backpack and reconnected the broken team, reached out and patted Xiao Si standing in front of him and urged him impatiently.
Xiaosi turned his head and wanted to tell the little ones that even if we got to the royal dining room, you would definitely be able to eat only light baby food. But seeing the bright eyes of his brothers, in order not to ruin their interest, he had no choice but to put it in his mouth.
He swallowed his words, turned his gaze back to Liang Jiugong and asked:
"Eunuch Liang, when you saw Zhang Tianxi waiting here before, did he say anything to you?"
Liang Jiugong was stunned when he heard this. He didn't understand what Xiao Si meant by what he said. However, seeing Xiao Si's serious look on his face, he still answered:
"Fourth Brother, I saw Zhang Tianxi who came to pick you up. He only said hello to me as usual and didn't say anything."
Xiao Si felt relieved when he heard this. He guessed that E Niang was definitely fine. If anything happened, Zhang Tianxi would definitely tell him.
He relaxed, raised a smile on his face, and dragged the "chickens" behind him towards the Qianqing Palace.
When a group of people entered the front yard of Qianqing Palace from the east side door of Qianqing Palace, as soon as they crossed the threshold and walked into the main hall, they saw their Khan Ama, Brother Prince, Brother Dawa, and Brother Sanwa all sitting on armchairs waiting. With them.
"Hey, this is quite neat."
When Kangxi saw his sons sneaking in in a row, he stood up from his armchair and smiled with the corners of his mouth raised.
"Son, please give my regards to Khan Amma."
"Everyone, get up. Let's go have a meal first."
Kangxi smiled and said that he actually had nothing to do today. He just finished handling government affairs early and wanted to gather his sons together and test their homework in public.
The taste of the royal meal is naturally very good. Although Xiaowu and the other two children cannot eat as much as they want like the four brothers, they all ate their favorite dishes, so even though this is the first time for the nine of them, father and son. We all ate together, but everyone enjoyed themselves.
About an hour later, the nine father and son finished their meals. Kangxi leaned back on the chair and reached out to take the tea from the eunuch who served the cloth meal, rinsed his mouth, and wiped the corners of his mouth with a clean white sweat towel, while the eight brothers They all leaned lazily and happily on the back of their chairs, stroking their slightly bulging bellies to eat.
Kangxi looked at the group of bastards enjoying themselves endlessly, and felt a bad taste in his heart. He was about to grab one of them to ask questions about their homework, but who knew that Liang Jiugong suddenly walked in with Doctor Zhang and Zhang Tianxi in a hurry.
"This servant would like to express his regards to the emperor, and to express his regards to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"The humble minister pays homage to the emperor, and pays homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
The two people stood together and bowed together and said.
When Xiao Si saw Zhang Tianxi and Doctor Zhang coming together, his heart skipped a beat and he quickly stood up from his chair.
Yin Reng, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but frown, obviously guessing that something must have happened to Chu Xiugong.
Kangxi also wondered why these two incomparable people got together, and asked in confusion:
"What are you here for?"
Hearing the emperor's question, the two of them looked at each other, and then Zhang Tianxi spoke first: "Returning to the emperor, at the beginning of noon, our mother-in-law was planning to have a meal. Who knew that she would retching as soon as she smelled the chicken soup? , and almost fainted, so I hurried to the Imperial Hospital to call Dr. Zhang. After checking his pulse, Dr. Zhang discovered that our master is almost two months pregnant."
"What?"
Hearing this, Kangxi suddenly stood up from his chair, his eyes bursting with astonishing joy. He counted the days in his heart and realized that he should have been conceived on the night of his canonization.
Xiaosi and Yinreng's eyes were also full of surprises. They did not expect that their mother/aunt was going to give birth to a little brother or sister for them.
Liang Jiugong was also shocked by the news. He did not expect that the imperial concubine was so lucky. She became pregnant just after she was enthroned.
"Okay, okay, I'll go see the imperial concubine."
Kangxi turned the jade ring on his hand and walked a few steps on the ground before raising his feet to go out. Unexpectedly, he noticed that Doctor Zhang's face was a little pale, and the smile on Zhang Tianxi's face was also very forced.
He suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, and said again: "What do you two mean by this?"
Doctor Zhang knew that it was his turn next, and sighed deeply in his heart, and then said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, judging from Wei Chen's pulse diagnosis, the imperial concubine is 80%, 80% sure this time."
"Eighty percent what?"
Kangxi saw that Doctor Zhang was hesitant to say the next words, so he frowned and asked again.
Doctor Zhang buried his head hard and said tremblingly: "80% of them are twins."
"Twins?"
When Kangxi heard this, his body stiffened instantly and he asked in disbelief.
"Bah!" Xiaosi also accidentally broke the green-glazed lotus bowl in front of him. Yinren's eyes widened and his heart beat "bang bang bang" in panic.
Although they are young, they also know how dangerous it is to give birth in this palace. It is very difficult for others to give birth to a child, and some of them unfortunately pass away, but my mother/aunt was pregnant with two at once.
Moreover, it is the first child, which means that when the time comes to give birth, the risk will be doubled!
Kangxi was also very panicked at this time. Naturally, he also thought of the dangers during childbirth. He couldn't help but feel a little sad. Could it be that his life really killed his wife? The two queens were not born during childbirth. Before, little Hesheli
As soon as she entered the palace, she was poisoned by the secret medicine given to her by her little aunt. He was prepared to be a little Hesheli, and perhaps he would never be able to do so in this life.
He was mentally prepared for the pregnancy, and now he has indescribable feelings for her. He had just been canonized as an imperial concubine, and this person was pregnant. Regardless of whether she was pregnant, he really wanted to have someone for the two of them.
His biological children, but before he could be happy for a while, they turned out to be ominous twins. Could it be that he was destined to be a widower...
Liang Jiugong saw the unhappy look on the emperor's face, and hurriedly walked over and stood beside him, reaching out to support Kangxi.
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Since ancient times, it has been an extremely bad thing for the royal family to have twins. Whether it is twin dragons, twin phoenixes, or the auspicious dragon and phoenix twins, it is not something that people look forward to in the royal family.
pregnancy.
Because it is really difficult to give birth to twins, they are usually born early before they are even a month old. In the previous dynasties, too many mothers struggled with their lives and had to go through a lot of twists and turns to give birth to twins. However,
One of the twins will always be relatively weak and will die soon after being raised.
The healthy twins who survive are the great auspiciousness of the dragon and the phoenix! If the dragon dies and the phoenix lives, or if the dragon lives and the phoenix dies, this is all unlucky. What is even more frightening is that there is a high possibility that it will be lost.
Three lives, then this is not an ominous omen that can be described in words!
Even if we don't talk about this, if twin dragons are born who look alike, in order to avoid Li Dai Tao's stiffness in the future, the twin dragons will automatically lose the chance to succeed; even if they look different, twins often have a spiritual connection.
, and the most taboo thing for those in power is to have their inner thoughts guessed by others, so considering this, two dragons with different looks cannot succeed to the throne.
No matter how you calculate it, twins are not cost-effective. The emperor and the concubines are extremely reluctant to see twins. If the imperial concubine is really pregnant with twins, it is really hard to say whether they are the same thing.
happy event.
"Let's go, let's go to Chuxiu Palace first."
Kangxi forced himself to calm down and spoke.
When Xiaosi and Xiaotaizi saw their Khan Ama leaving, they quickly opened their legs and followed them.
Xiaowu, Xiaoliu, Xiaoqi, and Xiaoba actually listened in a daze, but Yinzhi and Yinzhi also knew that this matter was extremely dangerous for Huang Eniang.
The two brothers glanced at each other with a slight frown, and then decided to send the four little brothers back one by one with the same purpose.
When Kangxi hurried to Chuxiu Palace with his two sons, he saw the imperial concubine leaning on the bedside in the inner room with frowning eyebrows.
"Eniang!"
"aunt!"
Xiao Si and Yin Reng hurried to the bed, and Kang Xi pursed his thin lips and walked over.
Qingyan came back to her senses when she heard the voice and saw that the father and son were already sitting by the bed.
"Oh, oh, oh, oh, mother, please don't have a baby, okay?"
Xiaosi thought that the crown prince's brother and his fourth sister's mother were both gone, and Xiaowu's mother almost died when she gave birth to Xiaojiu. When he thought about the two children in her belly, he wanted to lie on her and then
He didn't dare to touch her belly, and he was worried all the way. When he saw his mother-in-law, he couldn't help but burst out "Wow" and started to cry loudly.
Although Yinreng didn't say this, his eye circles were still red.
Qingyan couldn't help but laugh or cry, reaching out and patting her son's back to comfort him.
She was also a little panicked at this time. After all, she was pregnant for the first time in her two lives, but her worries were different from those of the people at the moment.
