The amount of exercise today was really too much. After the rest of the people had a simple dinner, although they did not sleep on pillows like Fuquan, they were all sitting on chairs with their heads drooped, yawning all day long and feeling drowsy.
This group of children, young and old, literally stayed in the snow for almost a day.
Even if there is an imperial doctor accompanying the motorcade, it is not as convenient as being in the palace. If they are accidentally infected with the cold, both the children and the adults who serve them will suffer serious consequences.
Therefore, as soon as she returned to the inn, the imperial concubine specially ordered the imperial doctor to cook a large pot of decoction to dispel the cold, and asked the palace servants to deliver it to the rooms of the young masters one by one.
Older children like Yinti and Yinreng are already sensible. When the palace servants brought over the hot and cold soup that had just come out of the pot, they drank it without saying a word, and then went to the clean room to wash the hot soup.
Take a shower and get ready to go to bed.
Although Xiao Jiu, Xiao Ten, Xiao Eleven and Xiao Twelve did not like the taste of the soup, the four little breast dumplings had all been sick at one time or another when they were in the womb. Knowing that they felt weak and limp all over after being infected with wind and cold, it was even more painful.
It felt uncomfortable, and they were still thinking about getting up early to play in the snow tomorrow, so they all drank the bitter soup one mouthful at a time while sticking out their little tongues.
The little palace maids standing aside saw them drinking the decoction, and immediately stuffed a few sweet preserves into the mouths of the little breast dumplings. Before they could taste the taste, they carried them to the clean room to take a bath.
.
The rest of the people were easy to talk to, but when it was the turn of the little thirteen and fourteen brothers, the imperial concubine was really in trouble.
The two little brothers have weak mutated earth powers in their bodies, so when they were born, their bodies were much healthier than those of Little Eleven and Little Twelve, who were not much older than them. For eleven months, they didn't even get cold.
It was okay, only Xiao Shishi had a fever when he awakened his second power.
But after all, they stayed outdoors for too long today. Qingyan thought that they were both under one year old and it would be safer to drink a small bowl of cold-repelling soup, so she took a small silver spoon and fed each of them a mouthful.
The two brothers were dissuaded by the unpleasant taste of the soup after only one sip. They covered their mouths with their small hands and their little brows were so furrowed that they were almost tied into bows. No matter how much the imperial concubine tried to coax them, they were unwilling to take a second sip.
.
Not only that, when the two of them sensitively felt that their mother was impatient and wanted to pinch their noses and forcefully pour water into their mouths, the two brothers, wearing soft cotton pajamas, hurriedly crawled to the corner with their buttocks sticking out and hands and feet,
No matter what, I am not willing to cooperate with my mother-in-law.
The imperial concubine was also tired after a day and was very sleepy. However, the twins almost slept in their parents' arms for the second half of the trip. Now they are full of energy, not even the slightest bit drowsy, and very energetic. The tired old mother
Unable to compete with the two sons, he just turned around and was about to let Bai Lu take the decoction. At this time, Kangxi, who was wearing a bright yellow pajamas after taking a bath, opened the cotton curtain and walked in.
Seeing the twins huddled at the foot of the bed like two fat rice dumplings stuffed with glutinous rice, Xiao Shisan seemed to be addicted to playing with his ears. He raised his two small hands to press down his ears with big earlobes and "pop"
" He suddenly let go and bounced up. Little Fourteen drooled stupidly, holding his chubby feet with his two short arms, as if he wanted to stuff his toes into his mouth, and the emperor
The imperial concubine stood beside the bed with a deflated look.
He couldn't help but stepped forward and asked:
"Yan'er, what are you doing?"
Qingyan glanced at him, and yawned because she was very sleepy. A thin layer of mist instantly rose up in her beautiful big eyes, and she raised her chin in the direction of the two brothers, expressing her sleepiness.
With a thick nasal tone, he said helplessly and vaguely:
"Huang Sang, these two brothers have become semen, and the Zidao decoction doesn't taste good, so we can't feed them."
The imperial concubine's appearance was already good, but she had just taken a bath recently. She was wearing a lavender pajamas, with red lips and white teeth, soft black hair, and a slender waist. She looked even more delicate and charming when she stood beside the bed under the warm candlelight.
Kangxi's throat suddenly became a little tight. He also drank a bowl of cold-repelling soup before taking a bath. If he was strong enough to drink it, the two brothers would definitely not be able to escape. He raised his right arm and took it from Bai Lu.
Taking the soup and medicine bowl, he coughed twice and waved his left hand cheerfully towards the imperial concubine:
"Yan'er, you go in and rest, I'll feed them both."
Qingyan, who was so sleepy that her head almost fell off, saw someone taking over the offer, so she walked straight into the inner room without saying a word.
I don't know how long it took, but when she was half asleep and half asleep, she felt someone coming up from the outside of the bed, and the next moment her body was pulled tightly into a hot embrace.
Starting from the capital, he spent seven days on the road, and then stayed at Qingliang Temple for a few nights. Kangxi had been here for a long time, and after some irregular movements, the imperial concubine pushed his chest with her hands and gasped.
Suffocating, he muttered in a low voice, "The twins are still sleeping outside, their soup is theirs." After drinking the soup, Kangxi pressed her down and kissed her until the words were stuck in her throat before she could even finish her words.
Snow was falling heavily outside the house. The two brothers outside were coaxed by my mother to drink the cold-repelling soup, and then they both slept in the middle of the bed with their eyes closed and wearing diapers.
There are people in the palace who specialize in teaching the princes and princesses how to sleep. In order to have a straight sleeping posture, even the little mistresses have tied their legs with silk ribbons since childhood so that they can sleep upright.
But the imperial concubine felt that sleeping like this was too uncomfortable, so several children living in Chuxiu Palace had never had to correct their sleeping postures since they were young.
The twins, like their fourth brother and cousin Changquan, are unrestrained in bed and do whatever makes them feel comfortable.
Little Thirteen's right arm rested on Little Fourteen's soft belly, while Little Fourteen's left leg was pressed against his brother's leg. The two brothers' furry little heads covered with swarthy fetal hair were close to each other, breathing.
Huge sleep.
The interior of the wing was full of spring. From time to time there was a slight popping sound from the charcoal basin in the corner. The goose feathers outside the window were falling with heavy snow. A piece of bright red strawberry slowly grew on the white neck of the imperial concubine.
When there is joy, there is sorrow. The royal family slept soundly in the backyard, but a group of Rakshasa people locked in the front yard could not eat well and could not sleep. In addition, they were uneasy and felt uncomfortable all over their bodies.
comfortable.
The two Rakshasa men who were brought down from the wooden house on the mountain in the afternoon were interrogated by the secret guards using torture instruments overnight.
In the largest guest room in the front yard, a Rakshasa boy with long legs and long arms was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, and would get up from the bed after a while, irritably scratching the chestnut half-length curly hair on his head with his hands.
, the meal placed on the table not far from the bed was almost uneaten, and it was already cold, with a layer of white lard on the outside...
The next morning, at four o'clock, it was bright outside.
The imperial concubine slowly woke up, and as expected, there was no one around her, and the quilt was cold.
Qingyan hugged the quilt and got up from the bed, only to find that the sleeves of her pajamas were torn. She used the power to spread all over her body and found that her body felt much better.
Pulling on her indoor slippers, Zhuo got out of bed and sat in front of the mahogany dressing table not far away. She looked at the red strawberries clearly visible on her neck in the mirror. She was so angry that she almost bent the gold hairpin on her hand. She felt that Kangxi last night was really
He turned into a dog man and covered his neck with supernatural powers. After rubbing it for a long time and seeing that the red marks became less obvious, he specially picked a high-collared winter coat and wore it.
When she was fully dressed and walked outside with her hair disheveled, she wanted to call a palace maid to comb her hair, but she saw that the twins were not on the bed, and not even Bai Lu was here.
Just when she was confused, she saw the palace maid Mang Zhong walking in with a smile on her face, carrying hot water in a copper basin.
"Mother, are you awake?"
"Where are the two brothers?"
Qingyan scratched her messy long hair with her hands, yawned and asked in confusion.
Mang Zhong placed the copper basin on the mahogany washbasin stand against the wall, and neatly prepared the sweat towel and toothbrush. While busy with the movements of his hands, he said with some surprise:
"Your Majesty, the Emperor accidentally discovered several large and expensive dogs among the goods carried by the group of Tsarist Russians. The Emperor said that they were sled dogs. Now all the little masters are happily looking at the open space in the backyard.
The eunuch who knows how to train dogs organizes the big dogs to pull the sled."
"Sled dog? Are they the same breed as Haha?"
Qingyan couldn't help but asked in surprise when she heard this.
"Master, they don't have Haha's 'three fires' on their heads, but they are just as good-looking as Haha. Two of them are as chubby as pigs, they look majestic and silly, and the other two are all white and have a grin on their lips.
They look like they are smiling at people. They are all big dogs that are half as tall as a man. My hands feel itchy just looking at them and I want to go up and rub their furry dog heads."
"You don't even know that Brother Si is going crazy with joy. If the guards hadn't stopped him, he would have stepped forward to ride the sleigh."
"It's not the other two idiots, is it?"
After hearing what Mang Zhong said, Qingyan's heart skipped a beat. She quickly rolled up her sleeves, brushed her teeth, washed her face, let Mang Zhong comb her hair into a bun, and hurried out the door.
In the other room, Kangxi and Fuquan were sitting together for breakfast, listening to the secret guard standing in front of the dining table, dressed in black, with the lower half of his face covered with a black cloth, talking about what he had learned after being tortured last night.
result.
Due to the language barrier, although the secret guards did not get enough information from the interrogation, the tip of the iceberg was enough to surprise the brothers.
It took Kangxi and Fuquan a while to digest the new news. Fuquan pinched the white porcelain spoon placed in the porridge bowl and glanced at the emperor who was leaning slightly on the back of the chair, frowning in deep thought, and couldn't help but speak.
road:
"Your Majesty, I think that now that the treasure island has been recovered and soldiers have been stationed on it, it's time for us to train the navy, develop sea trade, and go outside to have a look. The Rakshasa Kingdom is so close to us. Among the royal family, this
Such a big turmoil has occurred in more than ten years, and we don't even know about it, which is really a pity."
Kangxi leaned on the back of his chair and turned the jade ring on his hand, silently.
He knew what his second brother was regretting, which was nothing more than "taking advantage of your illness to kill you!"
After the Manchus entered the customs, under the influence of poetry, books, rituals and music, over the past few generations, they gradually became educated people.
But the people in the north are still very barbaric. They attack the border defenses of the two countries and burn, kill and loot the people in the northeast for more than a day or two.
If he knew that Tsarist Russia had been in such chaos in recent years, even if he could not allocate troops and energy to make the Rakshasa side suffer because of San Francisco, he could still take advantage of the chaos to add fuel to the chaos and make it even more chaotic.
Yes, it can be regarded as a warning to them, but precisely because of the maritime ban inherited from the late Ming Dynasty, except for the foreign missionaries in the Qing Dynasty, they did not even know the slightest bit about the situation in the outside world. This was really due to the lack of information.
I missed a great opportunity to clean up my mess!
"Second brother, I will consider the suggestion you made. Let's go to the front yard and have a look now."
