A few days later, it will be November 19th. This day is not only the twins' first birthday, but also the 40th birthday of the late Empress Dowager Cihe. Therefore, at the beginning of Mao period, the sky is still so dark that you can't even see your fingers. Chuxiu Palace in the northwest corner and Jingren Palace in the southeast corner are already brightly lit, and the palace people are busy preparing for important events at dawn.
About an hour later, when the white fish belly appeared in the east and the sky brightened above their heads, the palace people were delighted to find that after the sky had been gloomy for many days, they could finally see the warm sun. The palace maids and eunuchs were working The movements of his men became more and more agile.
At the end of the morning, after attending the morning court, Kangxi, who was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, took Liang Jiugong and called his precious son who was studying in the side hall of Qianqing Palace, and the group hurried to Jingren Palace in the east.
The royal family princes, county princes, and belles from the lower dynasty also rushed to Cining Palace in twos and twos.
Kangxi and Yinreng personally offered incense to their mother-in-law/mother Huang in Jingren Palace, and after kowtowing to pay homage, they hurried along the bluestone palace road to Cining in the west as if they were on a journey. Go to the palace.
Liang Jiugong was behind the father and son.
As soon as they entered Cining Gate, they heard bursts of laughter coming from the hall in the distance.
When the two eunuchs guarding the door saw the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince coming, they hurriedly saluted and said hello, then respectfully stretched out their hands to lift the dark purple cotton door curtain beside them.
After the father and son raised their legs and stepped across the threshold into the warm hall, they saw a lot of people sitting inside.
The prince, the county king, and the Belles were all sitting on armchairs in the side hall, drinking hot tea.
The bead curtain hanging from the door frame of the side hall separated the female guests from the male guests.
The young clan members sat together and laughed and talked with the imperial concubine, who was wearing a bright orange winter coat.
Concubine An, Concubine Yi and other leading concubines sat together and chatted casually. Beside them were a large group of princesses and princesses who were studying at the Fifth North School.
The birthdays of the twins happened to coincide with the mid-term rest day of the Fifth North School. From the eldest princess Fulana to the fourth princess Kejing, the four sisters were all dressed in festive and beautiful winter clothes, with exquisite little hair combed, chatting and laughing with the clan in the banquet. cousins, the cousins talked affectionately.
The Empress Dowager, who had not recovered from her leg injury, was leaning on a soft couch under the carved glass window on the east wall, surrounded by a circle of elderly royal family princes and old Fujins.
The twins sat next to their Aunt Ukuma, held by the Empress Dowager with both arms.
The two brothers already looked alike, but now they both wore red auspicious clothes with gold trim and embroidered with mighty unicorn patterns with silver thread. Their eyebrows were dotted with round red dots by the dressing lady with rouge, and they wore them around their necks. The ruby gold necklace given by Grandma Ukuma, the furry and dark fetal hair was hidden in the golden tiger head hat, and the tiger head boots on her feet were embroidered with colorful auspicious clouds with fine silk thread.
Dressed like this, he looked just like the Bodhisattva sitting down. The fairy boy with red lips and white teeth ran from the purple bamboo forest in the South China Sea to the Cining Palace in the Forbidden City.
The two little brothers' chubby smooth little faces, thick Buddha-shaped earlobes, and bright and clear eyes all poked at this group of old people with an average age of over sixty-five years old, missing teeth in their mouths, and leaky speech.
Ladies, my heart goes out to you.
The old ladies grabbed the chubby little hands of the twins one by one, like squeezing the flesh pads of kittens, pinched and touched them, and smiled at the Queen Mother with surprise and envy:
"My sister-in-law is really lucky. These two little brothers are really well fed. The little ones must be white and fat like this to make people feel comfortable."
The twins could understand "people say they are fat." The two little brothers, who were still grinning with a few baby teeth open, smiled so hard that they couldn't even see their teeth. They immediately removed their chubby hands from the old Fujins.
He withdrew his big wrinkled hands and put their chubby hands under his little buttocks to hide them from others.
This act of not thinking of twins, but it touches on the cuteness of the old ladies.
Old Fujin of Prince Jian's family was extremely surprised when he saw this, and praised with some disbelief:
"Ah, it's really amazing. They can understand words at such an old age?"
The Empress Dowager put her hands on the backs of her two great-grandchildren to calm them down, and replied cheerfully:
"Isn't that right? The two brothers are very good at it. At such a young age, they can make little sounds every word."
"Sister-in-law, I think they look like they were carved from the same template. Which one is the elder brother and which one is the younger brother?"
Old Fujin of Prince Kang's family squinted his presbyopic eyes covered with crow's feet and looked at the two little milk babies sitting cross-legged side by side on the soft couch. After looking for a long time, he couldn't find any difference, so he asked softly with curiosity.
"The active one is younger brother Fourteen, and the quiet one is older brother Ten. The two of them do look alike, let alone you. They usually wear clothes of different colors, but today they wear the same Jifu. At first glance,
, even the Ai family can hardly tell them apart."
The Empress Dowager hugged her two little great-grandsons, her whole body was full of energy, and she answered with a smile.
"The royal family is lucky to have such a pair of unicorns."
The old Fujins were so envious that they couldn't move their eyes away from the twins. They only wished that these fat babies did not land in their own palace.
The twins who are obviously the protagonists today, but are treated as mascots and let the old ladies suck their babies to their heart's content. Their little heads are already confused by the words of the old ladies with strong accents around them. They wear it on their heads.
The tiger-head hats and tiger-head boots worn on the feet were almost shaved off by the young Fujins who were eager to have children.
The two young brothers, who exuded the aura of lovelessness, saw Kangxi and Yinreng standing at the screen at the entrance of the hall through the gap in the crowd. Their big eyes suddenly lit up, and they became anxious.
Little Fourteen immediately stretched out his two short arms and shouted loudly:
"Mama, hug!"
Kangxi saw Xun Sheng looking towards him and everyone saluted.
He smiled and took his precious son beside him, walked to the soft couch in a few steps, saluted his royal mother, and chatted warmly with the old Fujins for a few words, automatically ignoring the looks that his two younger sons looked at him eagerly.
He looked for help as if he hadn't seen the twins. After a round of greetings, he walked to the imperial concubine.
Yinreng sympathizes with the situation of his twin brothers. After all, he was also a cute little baby when he was a child. He also experienced the dilemma of being sucked by these old ladies. It’s not that he didn’t save the two brothers, he was really helpless.
, there is nothing I can do to help.
Liang Jiugong, who was following the father and son, saw the tenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother. In just a few breaths, like a folk trick of changing faces, he stretched out his two short arms and couldn't wait to be hugged by Khan Ama and the prince's first brother.
First of all, Your Majesty the Emperor and the Crown Prince
Then he turned a blind eye to them, and walked away without even looking at them. The two brothers' eyes were shaking, they couldn't believe that they turned into transparent people, and they almost couldn't hold back their laughter.
Speak up.
This group of old Fujins are all of the same generation as the Empress Dowager. They followed the Empress Dowager from Shengjing to the customs. The Emperor and the Imperial Concubine are both grandchildren, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a great-grandchild.
Being able to step forward and take the two little brothers away spoiled the mood of the old ladies.
But Liang Jiugong was obviously wrong.
Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine and the Crown Prince don't dare, but the Emperor's eldest son Yinti dares!
There was a flurry of footsteps at the entrance of the hall, and in the next moment, a large group of royal elder brothers and clan princes who had come from Nansuo and Shangshu rooms to get out of school early rushed into the warm hall.
After Yin Ti took the lead and ran in, he glanced around quickly. When he saw the twins sitting on the soft couch, his round eyes lit up. Before the group of old ladies could react, he was like a whirlwind.
He ran over, picked up the twins who were sitting on the soft couch, turned around and ran away.
"Come on, come on, everyone is lining up to come here. I'm going to tell you something ugly. You can only touch me, but you can't kiss me."
Yinti sat down on an armchair, put the twins on his lap, and said to a group of little cousins in front of him who were seeing the twins for the first time.
"Cousin, as long as we touch the twins, will my mother-in-law give me twin little brothers to play with?"
Xiao Douding, who was in his early years and whose smallpox acne marks from a recent infection on his face had not yet been completely eliminated, blinked at Yin Ti and asked curiously with a milky voice.
The young Fujins of the clan who were sitting together became happy when they heard Xiao Douding's words. Xiao Douding's forehead was even red with shame, and she wanted to lower her head and find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
"Then there's still a lie."
Yinti was addicted to teasing the little beans, shaking her legs, opening her eyes and telling lies.
The twins sitting on the eldest brother's lap were shaking up and down as Yinti shook their legs. It was the first time for the younger brothers to see so many relatives, and they hadn't even waited for them to say anything.
After hearing Yinti's answer, a group of cheerful little beans immediately lined up with joy.
The little chubby guy at the front is Yantai, the second son of Prince Kang Jieshu.
Yantai is a chubby little boy who is stronger than Xiao Shi, and his eyes become squinty after eating.
He stretched out his two hands and grabbed one of the twins' chubby hands.
Xiao Ten and Xiao Fourteen's little yellow eyebrows were so wrinkled that they were tied into bows. They couldn't figure out what these strange cousins who suddenly appeared were trying to cause trouble like that. What was going on? Could it be that the older one touched the two brothers?
Still addicted to touching?
Little Fatty looked at the twins and looked directly at him, just like believers who go to a temple to pray to God and see the Buddha appear. He immediately looked at the twins' round faces piously and made a wish with the sound of milk:
"Twin cousins, I think I want my mother-in-law not to take away my snacks. If I don't eat snacks for a meal, I won't even be able to memorize the book."
Little Fatty's mother-in-law, Prince Kang Jieshu's direct descendant Fujin, was also a Mongolian noblewoman named Borzigit from the Horqin Prairie.
Mrs. Borzigit saw that as soon as her fat son finished speaking, her sisters-in-law who were sitting next to her turned their eyes to her, and they were so embarrassed that they wanted to run over and cover themselves on the spot.
Son's mouth.
Yinti looked at the chubby little chin in front of him, twitching the corners of his mouth, and advised speechlessly:
"Yantai, you are so fat, how dare you eat? Next time I meet Prince Kang, I must tell him, but I don't dare to let you eat again. If you get fatter, I'm afraid you will all
It can roll into a ball and roll on the ground. When you sit on a horse, you may be able to turn the horse into a camel."
Although the twins didn't know who the "Uncle Prince Kang" in their elder brother's mouth was, and they didn't know whose brother Yantai was in front of them, but after seeing the figure of Little Fatty, the younger brothers also nodded and said,
Compared with this cousin, they are really slim! Not fat at all.
Prince Kang Lao Fujin, who was sitting next to the Empress Dowager, was even more heartbroken when he heard his eldest brother's straightforward words. Is it possible that her grandson is really fat as a ball?
The little chubby Dun Yantai saw his elder cousin saying he was fat, and the two little cousins who looked like New Year's Eve dolls also nodded their furry little heads. He was hit hard by 10,000 points, and his eyes narrowed.
It was round, and before he started to feel disappointed, Little Douding standing behind him couldn't wait any longer.
"Come on, it's my turn."
After Yantai's little chubby boy moved away, another little cub with four heads appeared.
Yinti recognized this as Bolton, the grandson of Prince An Yue Le.
The half-year-old Bolton looked at Xiao Shi sitting on Yin Ti's left leg, then at Xiao Shi Si sitting on Yin Ti's right leg, and rubbed his two slightly sweaty little hands on his winter robe.
After a while, he followed Yan Tai's example and grabbed the twins' little hands, pursed his lips, and made a wish:
"I hope the seventh aunt's daughter can quickly follow her mother back to her home. It was her who robbed my toys that time. Mafa also said that I refused to let her cousin, and her mother also spanked me. I don't like her.
Stay in our palace."
The half-year-old little Douding felt extremely aggrieved when he talked about the sad things that happened recently.
I was already a little impatient to be surrounded by people, and wanted to find E Niang's twins. Looking at the strange little cousin whose eyes were red and sad as he talked, I didn't rush to struggle anymore.
Yinreng, who happened to be walking over, couldn't help but raise his beautiful long eyebrows when he heard Xiao Douding complaining.
The young little Douding who are not yet sensible do not understand the principle that "family scandals should not be made public".
Bolton's words were heard by many young members of the clan.
Yantai's mother-in-law had always been on good terms with Bolton's mother-in-law. When she heard this, she turned to look at the young woman sitting next to her, lowered her head slightly and asked softly:
"What's going on?"
The young woman chuckled sarcastically:
"The old man loves her seventh daughter who is a concubine more than once. His son-in-law Guo Luoluo Mingshang was sentenced to imprisonment by the emperor two years ago for fraudulent gambling of more than 2,000 taels.
In the past two years, my seventh sister-in-law, who is a concubine, has come to the palace from time to time with her daughter in her arms, crying and saying that her life was miserable. Her daughter lost her father just after she was born, and she also took away the widow."
"Not long ago, her daughter was fighting for toys with Bolton. Before Bolton even touched her, her little girl burst into tears. If there wasn't a maid waiting by her side, her daughter's nails would have been directed towards her.
Bolton's face greeted."
"Oh my god, then you still fight Bolton?"
Prince Kang's direct descendant Fujin looked at his good sister with a look that said, "Are you sick?"
The young woman lowered her head to drink tea and said rather disdainfully:
"The old man has so many children and grandchildren, but he doesn't care about his grandchildren. He only cares about the seventh sister-in-law, E Niang, the seventh sister-in-law, and her cheap granddaughter."
"Grandparents and grandchildren are all unruly. If I don't come up and spank Bolton, I'm afraid the old man will take care of his own grandson himself."
"This is really a sutra that every household has a hard time reciting. Prince Lao An is obviously so brave on the battlefield, why is the inner house so chaotic?"
After hearing these words, Mr. Borzigit couldn't help but shook his head and sighed.
To be honest, the conversation between the two was not really loud, but Qingyan happened to hear these words when she was about to go to Concubine An and Concubine Yi after chatting with a group of sisters-in-law of the clan.
Prince An was considered her uncle, and Yue Le's second wife, Fujin, happened to be Suo'etu's half-sister.
But Qingyan was still young when her aunt got married. After she entered the palace, she knew very little about the affairs of her aunt's mother-in-law's family.
Nowadays, the two sentences "Prince An's cheap granddaughter" and "Ama Guo Luo Luo Ming Shang, who was beheaded for gambling fraud" are very similar to the famous Eight Fortune Jin in history\&t;Guo Luo Luo\
&t;.
Qingyan saw the two Fujins who were complaining about Prince An just now saluting her. She also smiled and nodded, then walked to the concubine's seating area and saw Concubine Xuan, Concubine An and Concubine Yi sitting together having a drink.
Guazi, she walked to sit down next to Yi Fei and asked curiously:
"Sister Yi, what does Guo Luoluo Mingshang, the husband of the princess who was beheaded by the emperor the year before last, have to do with your family?"
When Concubine Yi heard the question from the imperial concubine, she spat out the melon seed rinds in her mouth and put them on the white porcelain plate beside her. She glanced at the clan Fujin pile with her beautiful peach blossom eyes, and then whispered to Qingyan:
"It doesn't matter. Their family is much more prominent than ours. If you insist, Ming Shang is my clan brother, but he really deserves that ending. The laws of the Qing Dynasty are so strict. Gambling is prohibited.
, Ming Shang still insists on violating the law, if the emperor doesn’t chop off his head, then whose head should he chop off?”
"I have also heard about his Fu Jin. She is obviously the daughter of a concubine. She was canonized as a princess just because she was favored. If you ask me, the daughter of a legitimate concubine, Prince An, who is so partial to Amma, is really unlucky!
"
"Sister Jing, why are you asking this?"
Concubine An, who was sitting next to Concubine Yi, listened to what the two said, looked at Qingyan and asked doubtfully.
Qingyan smiled and waved her hands:
"It's nothing. I just heard the two sisters-in-law talking about Ming Shang's family over there. I thought they were from the Guo Luoluo clan, so I was a little curious, so I came to ask Sister Yi."
After hearing Concubine Huang's explanation, Concubine An, Concubine Xuan and Concubine Yi suddenly lost interest.
Qingyan was convinced in her heart that the people the two Fujins were talking about were indeed the "Eighth Fujins" in the future.
Thinking of the Eighth Prince, Qingyan turned her attention to the Eighth Prince Yinsu who was joking among the brothers.
Both the Kangxi in history and the Kangxi in this world were both on guard against and wooed Prince An Yue Le.
The reason is that before Shunzhi "passed away", because he was worried that his princes were too young, he had the idea to pass his throne to his cousin, Prince An, Yue Le.
Yue Le had great influence in the army, and he also had the connections and resources of Zhenglan Banner and Xianglan Banner. Coupled with his transcendent status in the clan, Kangxi was deeply afraid of his cousin.
The best way to win over Yue Le is to get married.
But because they are from the same clan, whether it is marrying the princess to Prince An's palace, or marrying Prince An's biological granddaughter to the prince, with the same surname "Aixinjueluo", such an marriage will definitely not be possible.
Guo Luoluo, who was favored by Prince An Yue Le and whose surname was not "Aixinjueluo", whose father was a criminal official and whose mother was short-lived, became the best marriage tool.
Kangxi probably saw this clearly, and deliberately gave up his eighth son, who was of the humblest origin, and married an orphan whose parents were both dead. Moreover, when Yue Le was around, Guo Luoluo was still able to make people
Be careful. When Yue Le goes away, who will take her seriously? Maybe the dowry will be deceived by others.
Qingyan lowered her head and took a sip of scented tea, thinking about it in her heart.
Kangxi wanted to win over Yue Le, and a marriage was inevitable. He was afraid that Xiaoba would not be able to escape this marriage in the future.
But in history, the Eighth Fortune Jin was pointed in the face by his father-in-law Kangxi and scolded him as a "jealous woman" during his lifetime. After his death, his ashes were crushed by Yongzheng. He was rejected by two emperors in a row. He was also the first person among the Fujins in the clan.
.
After Yongzheng ascended the throne, he did liquidate the brothers who had seized the throne. He might have been so angry that he disregarded the emperor's dignity and went to deal with the eighth brother and sister himself. Qingyan believed that Bafujin must have done something to poke Yongzheng's heart behind his back.
Qingyan feels that such a "strange woman" is really a hot potato. After all, things are different now. Xiaoba in this life is the adopted son of her good sister Li, and Xiaosi is her nominal eldest son. He has a history
Endorsement, this imperial concubine who cannot tolerate short-tempered shortcomings is not partial...
After a while, the empress dowager, wearing a reddish-brown winter robe embroidered with phoenix patterns, opened the cotton curtain and walked in with several wealthy nuns.
When everyone saw the Empress Dowager, they understood that the auspicious time had come and stopped joking.
After Qiqige and Sister Jixiang completed the previous procedures, the sturdy eunuchs carried the four corners of the soft couch and moved the Empress Dowager into the side hall.
Kangxi and the imperial concubine each held a little baby and placed them on two long golden nanmu tables that were joined together and covered with red brocade cloth.
In addition to the common items sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs on the long table, Kangxi also saw the items carried by his brothers and cousins.
For example: Prince Yu Fuquan's hollow ivory jade pendant hanging on his waist, Prince Gong Chang Ning's Pixiu jade pendant hanging around his neck, Prince Chun Longxi's jasper ring ring on his hand, Prince Kang Jieshu's pendant on his wrist
Agate bracelets, etc.
Apparently, the group of men sitting in the side hall just now had nothing to do, so they put all their belongings on the table and gave them to the twins as jackpots.
Qingyan looked at the table full of things, and the corners of her eyes couldn't help but twitch.
"Hahahaha, Queen Mother, look at what's piled on the table. Little Ten and Little Fourteen are all dazzled by it. It's going to be even harder to choose something."
The empress dowager didn't mind watching the fun and turned to smile at the empress dowager who was sitting on the soft couch.
Xiao Jiu, Xiao Ten, Xiao Eleven, Xiao Eleven, the four little breast dumplings also squeezed their way to the front through the gaps in the crowd with their faces still covered in acne scars.
Xiao Yinzhen, who knows the goods, saw so many precious jade pendants on the table, his peach blossom eyes were shining, and he shouted loudly to the twins in his tender voice:
"Little Ten, Little Fourteen, listen to Brother Ninth and pick out valuable things."
When Concubine Yi heard her youngest son's obvious words to "seduce" the twins to love money as much as he did, her eyelids jumped fiercely. She hurriedly squeezed through the crowd and covered Xiaojiu's mouth to prevent the troubled little boy from letting go.
The son spoke.
Unfortunately, Concubine Yi was still a step too late. The two little babies in their parents' arms blinked their big eyes, apparently hearing what Ninth Brother said.
Qingyan had not trained the twins to catch Zhou in advance. Anyway, everyone knew that the twins had no inheritance rights. Whatever the brothers caught had no impact on them. Because they had not been trained, not to mention other people, even Qingyan and Kangxi were curious about the twins.
What pleasant things will you catch soon?
It can be said that everyone present was happy, except Da Tongbi.
Tong Jia and Yurou almost lost their teeth today. They saw the old Fujins surrounding the twins as if they had never seen little babies before, and the young Fujins in the clan were surrounded by stars.
The imperial concubine, and even some young girls who have just married into the clan want to ask the imperial concubine to find some ordinary clothes and quilts worn by the twins, so that they can take them back to the mansion to feel happy, and hope that they can have a big baby next year.
Fat boy.
Da Tongbi's face was expressionless, and she rolled her eyes one after another in her heart.
Seeing the princes, county princes, and Belles in the clan putting things on the twins' table, Tongbi's lips almost bled from being bitten by her, and she was going crazy with jealousy.
Looking at her cousin who had been crazy about playing since she was a child and didn't look like a noble girl at all. Over the past few years, she had gained fame, fortune, and even had more than one son. She gave Kangxi a sad look, as if she was scolding herself.
Her cousin is a heartless and heartless man, and she is the miserable "Chen Ajiao".
Kangxi could not see the pitiful look that Concubine Tong gave Kangxi, but the Empress Dowager who was sitting on the soft couch looked at her.
The Empress Dowager saw Da Tongbi twisting the silk handkerchief in her hand into shape, and her lips were bitten bright red by herself.
The joy in the eyes of the Empress Dowager, who never wanted to see women from the Tong Mansion, faded a little, and she said warmly to the twins who were in the arms of Kangxi and the Imperial Concubine:
"Ten, fourteen, you two go to the table and pick something you like and pick it up."
Kangxi and Qingyan heard the sound and put the baby in their arms on the table.
The two of them were not worried about the steady Xiao Shi, but they were worried about the impetuous Xiao Shili.
Kangxi stretched out his big hand and patted Xiao Yinzhen's butt. When he saw his youngest son frowning and turning his head to look at him with dissatisfaction, he coughed twice and said:
"Catch it carefully, don't mess around."
Xiao Si didn't pay any attention to his mother, and he and Brother Ten beside him were like little dragons who loved shiny things and fell into a cave full of jewels.
The twins looked left and right, very busy.
Aunt Jixiang saw Brother Fourteen grabbing a small bow and arrow, and was about to praise him, "Brother Fourteen will definitely be a brave Batulu in the future." But before she even opened her mouth, Little Yinzhen started talking again.
He put down the small bow and arrow in his hand.
For nearly a quarter of an hour, the guests watching the ceremony watched the brothers pick up an object, look at it, touch it, and then put it on the red cloth again.
Xiao Shi even picked up a green onion that symbolized "smartness", put the green onion under his little nose and smelled it. He was immediately choked by the overbearing smell of green onions, and sneezed twice before taking the green onion away.
Let it go.
"Brother Crown Prince, what are they trying to catch?"
Yinzhen saw that in such a short time, the two brothers had already picked up and put down the things on the table and touched them all, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice in confusion.
Yinreng also shook his head in confusion, and replied thoughtfully:
"Maybe it's like Madam Huang said, there are too many things on the table, and the two brothers are suddenly spoiled for choice."
Xiao Jiu, who struggled to free herself from Yi Fei's hands, moved to the middle of her brothers with her short legs. She looked at the little babies crawling around on the high table with bright eyes and made excited milk sounds.
Nai Qi said:
"There are so many good things. You can choose whatever you want. Of course, you can take them all with you."
Yinren, Yinti, Yinzhi, and Yinzhen heard Xiaojiu's voice and looked down in surprise at the little breasted dumpling standing by their legs. They didn't expect that Xiaoyinzhen had just finished speaking.
The two little babies lying on the table started to move quickly.
The people watching the ceremony watched helplessly as the two little ones used their two short arms to push the things on the table to the middle. Then the two brothers cooperated to lift the red brocade cloth on the table and pull the four corners together.
.
Xiao Shi squatted on the table and used his chubby little hands to tie the four corners together to form a tight knot.
The green onions are so long that they poke out from the gaps in the four corners, and their green leaves lie softly on the red brocade cloth, making it look even greener.
Seeing that his brother had already packed the things, Xiaosi also stood up unsteadily with his two small hands on the table, picked up a red package that was four times as big as him with one hand, and simply looked like
Holding a light feather in his hand, he walked toward the imperial concubine standing at the head of the table.
All the guests who came to watch the ceremony had never seen Zhuzhou like this. He wrapped things around in one go, and their eyes widened in surprise.
Especially when they saw Little Fourteen carrying a big package without showing any signs of exertion, and thinking of the rumors about this child's "natural power", some martial princes, county princes, and Baylors were even more envious of the emperor. Everyone was jealous.
Your surname is "Aixinjueluo", how come you are so lucky!
Even Grandma Jixiang doesn’t know what auspicious words to say now to support the most bizarre Zhuzhou Zhou she has seen in her career.
No one spoke, but Da Tongbi suddenly covered her mouth and said with a smile:
"Sister Huang Guifei is really good at teaching children. Look at how well the tenth and fourteenth elders know how to live. They don't forget to bring anything they see to their mothers. Even a green onion is put into the package for Huang Guifei to take back.
If you cook and eat it in Chuxiu Palace, you will really live up to your expectations."
Da Tong's laughter was as clear and sweet as a silver bell, but her words sounded awkward and awkward. It was almost as if the imperial concubine, mother and son were ignorant, and they were so curious about everything they saw that they couldn't let go.
Qingyan didn't say anything. To be honest, she was a little confused when she saw the big red package. She had no idea that the brothers would pack the things on the table directly.
Adults can all hear the sarcasm hidden in Da Tong Bin's words.
Yinreng's brows furrowed. Although he was still smiling, Ruifeng's eyes were obviously cold.
Yinzhen, who was standing next to him, had a dark face and looked at Da Tongbi with deep eyes.
Tong Jia Yurou spoke a long series of words. Although the twins could not understand it, it did not mean that the younger brothers could not feel the unkindness in Tong Bin's tone.
Xiao Shisi's temper was more impatient than that of Yinzhen, and his temper was even more violent than that of Yinzhen's. His light yellow eyebrows wrinkled. Before anyone could react, he immediately stretched out his right hand to pick up the green onions in the big package in his left hand.
I pulled it out,
With a "swish", it was thrown towards Da Tongbi head-over-face.
Everyone just heard a crisp "snap" sound. The hosta and bead flowers inserted on the delicate little heads by the big Tong concubine were all swept down by the green onion leaves. The neatly combed bun was scattered, and the green onions were blown away.
It was also shattered by the force of the impact. The pungent smell of green onions, the pulpy white color of green onions and green onion leaves hung on Da Tong's face and hair.
Everyone present was confused by this incident.
After Da Tong Bin felt the onion juice splashing into her eyes, compared with the burning pain caused by the onion juice stinging her eyes, the gazes of the onlookers made Da Tong Bin even more embarrassed, and tears immediately rushed out of her eyes.
He bit his bright red lower lip with his white teeth, and looked at Kangxi with tears in his eyes without saying anything.
The men of the clan who were present raised their heads to look at the sky, looked down at the carpet, and did not even look at Concubine Tong.
The members of the clan, regardless of their age, felt quite embarrassed watching this scene.
The Tong family only came into being after the emperor ascended the throne. A small family suddenly became rich and powerful, but they had no real background. They were raising little girls who were petty.
Little Tongbi also felt ashamed and panicked, so she quietly retreated behind the palace concubine and hid herself.
Qingyan expressionlessly stretched out her arms to hold her youngest son, who was walking up to him with a big package, in her arms. She pretended to be angry and patted Xiao Shisi's butt to "criticize":
"Yinzhen, how can you be so rude? Please apologize to Concubine Tong quickly."
Hearing E Niang call out the word "Yin Zhen", Xiao Shisi's first reaction was to look at his fourth brother "Yin Zhen".
The little baby's eyes are so understanding.
Qingyan helplessly patted her youngest son's butt again and said softly:
"Fourteen, I'm calling you by your name."
Little Fourteen pursed his lips and looked at E Niang, but before he could say anything, Little Ten staggered to the table with his hands behind his back and two short legs. His voice was very childish, but his enunciation was extremely clear:
"There is no lack of greenery in our palace. Let's give it to that empress."
"Tong, my dear, stupid, pick up, no, stop."
When Xuan Bin Tana heard Xiao Shi's explanation, especially when she looked at the little girl's round face with a stern expression on her hands behind her hands, she couldn't help but said such a slap in the face in a serious manner, "Puch."
"I laughed out loud.
Hearing Xuan Bin's laughter, Da Tong Bin's face turned even redder. She was in a dilemma.
Sure enough, after the death of Wu Ya, whom she hated the most, little Heshel was still alive and well.
When the Queen Mother heard Xiao Yinxiang's words, she raised the corners of her mouth and said coldly without even looking at Tong Jia Yurou:
"Da Tongjia, your appearance is messed up. Why don't you go down and clean it up quickly? Is it possible that you are here and the emperor is planning to carry you back?"
The Empress Dowager's words were like an invisible slap in the face. Da Tongbi couldn't stay where she was anymore and immediately covered her face and ran away.
The eldest maid who followed her also felt extremely embarrassed, feeling that her master would die sooner or later because of her dumb mouth. She followed the steps of the eldest concubine, lowering her head, shrinking her neck, and walking slowly.
Left hastily.
When Kangxi heard his wife reprimanding Concubine Tong, he even brought her in. He felt that he was even more unjust than Dou E.
Seeing that the lively atmosphere just now suddenly became condensed.
Grandma Jixiang had a flash of inspiration, leaned over and said with a smile;
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, the tenth elder brother, the fourteenth elder brother, these are all-rounders, Yun Wen Yun Wu, they are really outstanding."
All the prizes on the table were packed away by the two brothers. Didn't they just absorb all the good meanings?
The Empress Dowager, who already favored the twins, relaxed her stern eyebrows and said with a smile:
"reward!"
The Empress Dowager, who had the highest seniority and the most distinguished status, was happy, and everyone else also smiled and congratulated the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine.
The atmosphere in Cining Palace became more lively.
On the other side, the palace people on the palace road looked at each other secretly, and Concubine Tong quickly ran back to the main hall of Chengqian Palace with tears in her eyes.
As soon as I walked in, I smashed the set of teapots and cups on the table.
The eldest maid who followed behind and the little maids guarding the hall were all frightened by the angry eldest concubine.
When the broken porcelain pieces were all over the floor and there was nothing left to smash, the eldest concubine sat down on the carved chair, held her forehead with her plain white jade hands, and without raising her head, she ordered to her eldest maid:
"Go and find for me the box of birth secret pills that E Niang brought before."
The eldest maid heard her master's words and was stunned for a moment. She quickly realized that the eldest Tong concubine was referring to the pills that little Tong concubine had taken before she became pregnant with her sixth brother. She hurriedly rushed to the inner room to rummage through the cabinets. After a while,
He took out a flat mahogany rectangular box and gently placed it in Da Tong's hand.
Tong Jia Yurou bit her lower lip and pressed the mechanism in the middle of the box. She opened the lid of the box and saw round black pills lying on beige brocade cloth inside.
There were ten pills in total. After little Tong Bi took one pill, there were still seven pills left.
Tong Jia Yurou reached out and picked up a pill, put it to the tip of her nose and smelled it. The pill was wrapped with a thin layer of beeswax and could be stored for a long time.
She gently rubbed the pill she held with her fingertips a few times, remembering that her mother had brought in a small piece of paper with the wooden box, which read in small capital letters:
[Men and women walking together | Take it together before sex, and you will be able to have a baby in one fell swoop. 】
She pursed her thin lips tightly and thought, the concubine took the secret birth elixir by herself, and even though she gave birth to a baby with a handicapped hand, she was indeed a little brother.
If she and her cousin take pills together, won't they both have a cute little brother with a face that looks like their mother and eyebrows that look like their father's?
The entire hall was so quiet because of the angry Tong Bin. Tong Jia Yurou looked at the pills in her hands, her eyes getting brighter and brighter...
