Qingyan and the little eunuch turned around to look at the sound, and saw a woman in her thirties, wearing a plain silver-white flag dress embroidered with large yellow chrysanthemums, being escorted by an equally plainly dressed old woman.
He stood nearly five meters behind them with support.
Qingyan didn't know the person coming, but she felt that this woman had a peaceful and elegant temperament, and her face looked very much like the Guanyin Bodhisattva in the mythological drama, making her look very amiable.
The little eunuch standing next to her couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly when he saw the person coming. Then he immediately knelt down respectfully and saluted: "I have seen the eldest princess Heshuo Kechun."
"The eldest princess?"
The woman smiled bitterly: "Ajige is not so lucky, and now all the family members are rebellious officials and traitors, but I can no longer afford to be called the eldest princess."
When Qingyan first heard the young eunuch's name for the visitor, she didn't realize who the person was. She subconsciously repeated the title in her heart. When she heard the woman mockingly say "a rebellious traitor", she thought
Go to the south where the war between San Francisco and San Francisco is raging, and the title "Grand Princess" can only be used by the emperor's aunt.
Only then did she suddenly realize who this person was. Compared with the title "Kechun", her other title was obviously more famous. Qingyan also hurriedly lowered her head slightly and bowed in salute: "My daughter Hesheli Qingyan has seen her before."
The eldest princess of Jianning."
"Jianning? Haha~" She is really sorry for this title in her life!
"Okay, let's all get up." Princess Jianning gently waved her hand to the two of them and continued walking forward.
This time we were even closer. When Qingyan raised her head, she could clearly see the details of Princess Jianning’s clothing. She couldn’t help but wonder in her heart that this was a shit-sweeper who liked to raise cats.
Most of the nobles in the palace like to embroider plant and flower patterns on their flags. This was the first time she saw someone in the palace embroidering a pattern similar to the paw prints of a kitten with gold thread on the heart of the flags.
: A small triangle with an inverted tip and a slightly rounded shape followed by four small dots.
The triangles and dots are very close together, but I don’t know if there is any special meaning?
When people in the world mentioned this princess, they all lamented her and described her as "half-lived honey, half-lived yellow lotus".
Before the death of Emperor Taizong Huang Taiji, the princess, as the youngest of the fourteenth emperor, was Emperor Taizong Wen's favorite daughter. Even though the princess's own mother died young, her adoptive mother treated her very well.
And my adoptive mother is no small person.
That was the eldest concubine of Yijing, Borzigit Namuzhong, who was ranked third in favor and status in the harem of Shengjing at that time, after Queen Zhezhe and Concubine Hailanzhu.
The Grand Noble Concubine Yijing was originally the royal wife of Lindan Khan of the Chahar tribe in Monan Mongolia. She was in charge of the Ahe Tumen Ten Thousand Households and was the first of the eight great blessings of the last great Khan of Mongolia. She was known as the "Nangnang Fujin".
In August of the eighth year of Tiancong, after Lin Dan Khan died of smallpox in the grassy beach of Xila Tala, Nang Nang Fu Jin gave birth to his posthumous son Abu Nai that same month, Lin Dan Khan's second son.
The following year, he led 1,500 tribesmen to surrender to Dayin and married the Great Khan Huang Taiji. In the first year of Chongde, Huang Taiji proclaimed himself emperor in Shengjing and changed the country's name to "Dajin" (historically known as Houjin).
In the "Great Qing Dynasty", among the five great fortunes, Namu Zhong ranked third and was called the noble concubine of Linzhi Palace.
Taizong had just proclaimed himself emperor, and in March of the same year, Namu Zhong gave birth to Princess Gulun Duanshun, the eleventh daughter of the emperor. Taizong loved the eldest concubine very much, and six years later gave birth to her youngest son Bomubo.
Gor.
After experiencing the pain of losing her husband, Namuzhong endured the pain of separation between her mother and her son. She left her eldest son Abu Nai who was under one year old and came to Shengjing from the prairie. It took her six years to settle in Shengjing.
The palace made up for the "good" word, but both the eldest daughter and the youngest son were not blessed, and they died early not long after they got married, which broke the heart of the eldest noble concubine.
Seven years after Shunzhi, the eldest princess Gulun Duanshun was married for only three years. She died in the Abahai tribe of Mongolia at the age of fifteen. Mother and daughter were separated forever.
The eldest imperial concubine fell seriously ill. After recovering from the illness, in order to express her grief, she transferred her love for her biological daughter to her adopted daughter, Princess Jianning, whom she had raised since she was a baby.
Because of the love and care of the eldest concubine, it can be said that Princess Jianning grew up surrounded by thousands of beauties. In the tenth year of Shunzhi, the late emperor recruited Wu Yingxiong, the son of King Pingxi, to be Princess Jianning's consort.
A beautifully decorated princess mansion was built for her in the capital. After getting married, the young couple sang the piano and played the piano. After their marriage, they gave birth to three sons and one daughter. At that time, Princess Jianning was considered to be such a great princess in the hearts of the people in the capital.
The happiest princess in the Qing Dynasty.
You don't have to go to Fu Meng at a young age like the sisters who preceded you. You can live in the prosperous capital city for a long time. With a token, you can enter the harem at any time to visit relatives. Your consort is gentle, elegant and talented, and you will have abundant children and a happy family.
Envy.
But maybe God saw that her life was too smooth and too happy.
At the end of the twelfth lunar month in the year before the first year (the twelfth year of Kangxi), at the end of the cold and windy month, Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi, suddenly rebelled in the south, holding high the banner of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty.
The world, which had only been peaceful for a short time, was once again in a state of war.
The banner of King Pingxi was raised well. The words "Xing Ming to fight against the captives" gathered a large number of anti-Qing forces. In addition, he had been in control of central Yunnan for fourteen years. At the beginning of the rebellion, the rebels took advantage of the rapid advance across Guizhou.
Province, Hengzhou, Hunan, the situation was very unfavorable to the Qing army for a while.
In order to psychologically shock Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi, the emperor ordered the princess's forehead and the heads of her three legitimate sons to be chopped off in April of the following year, which was a good time of year. The eldest daughter Naren was devastated.
She hanged herself in her boudoir, and Princess Jianning was also imprisoned in the palace.
Suddenly, the eldest princess Kechun, who had been envied by countless people for her happy life, could only survive in the twelve years before Kangxi...
When Qingyan was still at home, she heard E Niang tell her about the life of the eldest princess Kechun, who was the most well-known among the people in the capital. She had been completely separated for more than 30 years. At that time, she felt that the eldest princess
The princess is really unlucky. This father has to repay his debts to his sons and grandsons.
Now that I have recovered my memory, I remember that in my previous life, a long martial arts novel "The Deer and the Cauldron" completely spread the name of Princess Jianning.
After she went online to search for the prototype of "Princess Jianning" out of curiosity, she discovered the miserable life of this princess in history.
Needless to say, "the first royal princess in the history of the Qing Dynasty to marry a Han, a completely miserable political victim", this simple sentence can be completely summed up.
Now, in this royal garden full of flowers, seeing that the princess with such a miserable fate turned out to be such a beautiful, delicate, gentle woman with a face like a Guanyin, she felt a little complicated for a moment, and she couldn't tell what she was feeling.
But I can't help but feel happy in my heart again. Fortunately, I have not been unlucky enough to be reincarnated as a princess of the Qing Dynasty!
Princess Jianning walked to the flower bed, bent down slightly, stretched out her white and tender right hand and pinched the unfolding green leaves of the pot of persimmon closest to her: "The air after the rain smells really good.
, the leaves of this flower are also vividly green.”
Hearing what she said, Qingyan couldn't help but follow her movements and look at the pot of tomato seedlings, which was about thirty centimeters high.
"I originally just wanted to come out for some fresh air, but unexpectedly I overheard you talking about persimmons and sunflowers. To be honest with you, I also like these two flowers, so I came closer to ask about them.
Is there anything extra?" Princess Jianning smiled gently, with a small dimple forming on her lips.
Princesses with titles can call themselves "this palace", but now I heard Princess Jianning directly address her as "I". Obviously, she no longer regards herself as the eldest princess, but the little eunuch still bowed respectfully.
He cupped his hands at the waist and said to her: "I dare not deceive the two masters. These six pots of flowers are actually defective products that I moved from the greenhouse and are ready to be disposed of."
"If you both want to grow these kinds of flowers, you might as well send someone to the greenhouse to get the ones that grow well. There are still a few pots left in the greenhouse that are in excellent condition, but they are much smaller than these seedlings."
"What are the two pots of flowers on the far right? They look familiar to me but I can't remember their names for a moment." Princess Jianning did not answer the little eunuch's words, but followed up with another question.
Seeing the flower pot she was pointing to, the little eunuch felt a little puzzled: "Tell me back to the eldest princess, this is a sweet pepper. In a few days, many beautiful white flowers will bloom. Even if the flowers lag behind, they will bloom first like sweet peppers."
If it bears green fruit, it will eventually turn red, but..."
"But this flower is poisonous. The fruit it produces is not as round and cute as a persimmon, but like a pointed and small bald pen, and the smell is not good. If you accidentally break it, the pulp and
When the juice comes into contact with the skin, it will produce a burning tingling sensation." Princess Jianning interrupted the little eunuch with a chuckle and continued.
Qingyan, who was standing aside and listened to the conversation between the two, realized that the last two pots of flowers were indeed edible. If nothing else, these peppers were the extremely expensive peppers in the apocalypse!
In the apocalypse, mutant peppers grow extremely slowly and because their pungent flavor can drive away some aggressive mutant animals, their prices are much higher than other vegetables.
Qingyan, who accidentally discovered chili peppers, couldn't help but be a little excited. Her taste was quite suitable, but E Niang is a person who loves spicy food.
Whenever it snows in the winter, their family will gather around Amma and Er Niang’s main courtyard, sitting around the round table and eating pot. Amma and their three children will burst into tears every time.
My mother always thinks that the spiciness of pepper, mustard and dogwood is not spicy enough!
"Since you understand this, you know that this flower is not suitable for noble masters like you to raise."
The little eunuch looked at Princess Jianning and then turned to look at Qingyan and continued: "This flower has never been popular in the palace since it was offered as an offering. There are only two pots left in the greenhouse. Now the servant is also regular."
It is planned to be destroyed, but the emperor has ordered that ministers not be allowed to continue to donate this flower..."
"No!" Qingyan became anxious as soon as she heard what the little eunuch said. Did he know that this is a good thing to keep cold away and keep warm? Moreover, she also thought that she could produce peppers for her mother to eat in the future!
Princess Jianning tilted her head slightly and saw the excited look on Qingyan's face, so she chuckled and said, "It seems that you also like these three kinds of flowers. Why don't we two take half of them each, and each of us can have three pots? How about that?"
"Then I would like to thank the eldest princess." When she heard that Princess Jianning was willing to share the shares with her, Qingyan felt that this was not the kind of master who relied on seniority and status to dominate others, and she had a pretty good impression of her.
of.
"You're welcome."
"Please help me deliver these three pots of flowers to Jingqi Pavilion later. Someone will pick you up then." Princess Jianning ordered the little eunuch, nodded to Qingyan, and took the
The old grandma turned around and went back.
"Yes, I will be there later." The little eunuch quickly bent down and bowed his hands again to say goodbye to the eldest princess.
Qingyan was stunned for a moment. Why did she seem to see a trace of apology in Princess Jianning's eyes just now?
But the speed was so fast that Qingyan felt that she might have seen it wrong.
Then she saw the little eunuch bent down, rolled up his sleeves, and hugged three pots of flowers.
This action is so nimble! Qingyan went out today and gained a lot.
This little eunuch gave her a pretty good feeling.
Nowadays, there are indeed too few people in her palace, and almost one person is working for three people. When she goes back, she can let Bai Lu check this person out. If he is innocent, it would be good to be transferred to her palace.
Qingyan thought of this and asked directly: "What's your name?"
"Reply to the little master, my name is Zhang Tianxi. You can call me Xiao Zhangzi or Xiao Xizi." Guessing that he might have really fallen in the eyes of the little master Hesheli today, the little eunuch hurriedly replied with an excited look on his face.
.
"Okay, then you go and send flowers first!" Qingyan said as she folded up the cuffs of her slightly loose flag dress a few times, bent down slightly and with a little effort, she picked up her three pots of flowers and moved towards them.
Walk to Chuxiu Palace.
Zhang Tianxi became anxious when he saw Concubine Hesheli's actions: "My lord, please wait a moment, and I will personally deliver your flowers to your palace when the servant comes back. You are of high status and do not need to do this kind of work."
"
"No need, my palace is close to here, you should go to Jingqi Pavilion first." Qingyan said loudly without turning around.
These three pots of flowers were nothing to mention for her. The only disadvantage was that they would stain her clothes. But when she was digging the tree, she had already ruined her flag uniform and made it dirty.
, now that it’s already like this, she doesn’t care if it gets a little dirtier.
The little eunuch looked at Qingyan's retreating figure, feeling slightly touched in his heart.
He was originally a good boy from a farmer's family. His father was the only scholar in the village. He ran a small private school to support his family. His family was considered wealthy in the village. However, unfortunately, the family suffered a disaster and he was the only one left in the family of five.
, in order to survive and earn a living, he had no choice but to purify himself and enter the palace.
He was only nine years old when he entered this deep palace. Because he was thin and didn't have any powerful masters or godfathers, he was suppressed and bullied by many rogue eunuchs for six or seven years. He suffered countless malice and glares.
Now, I almost don’t know what it feels like to be respected by others...
He originally just thought that it would be more comfortable to go to the Chuxiu Palace to run errands, but today he saw that the concubine Hesheli, who was well-known to the outside world, turned out to be such a kind master. When talking to him, her eyes were very calm and not condescending.
It feels like a lowly and classless slave like him is trash.
At this moment, Zhang Tianxi really felt that he had great luck today. If there was a chance to be transferred to Chuxiu Palace, even if he could not be a great eunuch in charge, he could just quietly and smoothly be a little eunuch growing flowers...
·
Zhang Tianxi walked very quickly and arrived at Jingqi Pavilion in about a quarter of an hour.
Although he has been in the palace for a long time, this is the first time he has come to this place.
When the new emperor Xuanye first ascended the throne, he divided Taizong and the widows left by the previous emperor into three parts.
A large part of them followed the Empress Dowager to live in Cining Palace, and the remaining part was divided into two, and they followed the Empress Dowager to live in Shoukang Palace in the northwest corner of Cining Palace. The rest were taken care of by Concubine Yijing.
We stayed at Ningshou Palace in the east. To the north of Ningshou Palace is Jingqi Pavilion.
To the west of Jingqi Pavilion is the fifth northern residence where the infant prince is taken care of.
The rules in this palace are very detailed, and the Qianqing Palace Square is almost used as the dividing line between the inner palace and the former court.
When the concubine cannot raise her brother due to her low status, the newborn baby will be sent to the North Fifth School in the inner palace to be taken care of by the special nannies there. When the prince reaches six years old (the false age), he will officially start school.
, you have to move to Nansan residence in the former dynasty.
Nowadays, there are very few elder brothers in the palace. In the huge North Fifth Residence, only Wan Fu's elder brother lives, and in the South Third Residence, only Baoqing elder brother lives. The brothers live scattered around, maybe they haven't even met each other yet.
Have seen...
When Zhang Tianxi saw that there were no servants guarding the door, he carefully bent down and placed the three pots of flowers on the ground, then stepped forward and knocked on the red painted door with the copper door knocker.
After a while, the door creaked open, and an old woman in her sixties opened the palace door.
"Are you the little flower-delivery eunuch that the princess mentioned?" Nanny An asked with a smile in her old voice.
"Yes, I am a servant who specializes in tending flowers and plants in the greenhouse of the Royal Garden." Zhang Tianxi nodded and replied after seeing the friendly look on the visitor.
"Okay, just leave the flowers here and I'll move them."
Grandma An opened the door, stepped over the high threshold, and began to bend down to move the flower pots.
Zhang Tianxi was surprised. Is it possible that there are no young and strong eunuchs working here? Looking at Aunt An's trembling movements, he was afraid that she would drop the flower pot and hurt his old waist.
It flashed.
"Mommy, why don't you lead the way, and I can just help you move in."
As soon as Zhang Tianxi finished speaking, he bent down and picked up the two remaining pots of flowers on the ground, preparing to follow Grandma An.
"Thank you very much, my old bones are really useless."
Zhang Tianxi was a little surprised when he followed Nanny An and walked into Jingqi Pavilion. It was already the third month of the lunar calendar, and the Wanshou Festival was approaching, and all the palaces were bustling with activity.
Especially the Imperial Garden, where he was going to do errands, was full of life. Unexpectedly, the front yard of Jingqi Pavilion revealed infinite desolation. There were no beautiful plants, and the surrounding palace walls were extremely high.
It's as if the sun can't even shine in, causing the surrounding bluestone floor tiles to be shrouded in the shadows cast by the high red palace walls, making people feel chilly when staying in this environment.
Nanny An used her wrinkled hands to place the potted flowers one by one on the mahogany flower stand under the eaves of the front yard. After giving Zhang Tianxi a small purse containing one or two pieces of silver, she sent him away.
The door of Jingqi Pavilion was closed again, and when he staggered back to the inner room, he saw his princess sitting on the bed with her head lowered, stroking two small pieces of fine workmanship in her hands.
As the princess' wet nurse, every time she saw this scene, she felt a stabbing pain in her heart.
One of these two little clothes belongs to the four-year-old second elder brother, and the other belongs to the two-year-old third elder brother. Now that they are gone, these relics are just missed...
"Princess, look, it won't take long for this flower to bloom. You must hold on."
Nanny An slowly walked up to her master, then knelt down and looked at the tearful eldest princess and said.
Princess Jianning sniffed, covering the "paw prints" on her chest heartbrokenly, and raised a very happy smile on her lips. The smile grew bigger and bigger, but the tears rolled more and more: "Isn't that right?
My brother-in-law and brother Boguoer like sunflowers, Shilin and Gui's mother like peppers, but the two younger ones and Naren love playing with the red persimmons the most. This flower blooms and falls every year.
But they can never come back, and now I am the only one who can show it to them..."
Aunt An watched her little master with big breasts grow from a pink and jade little dumpling to a lively and smiling girl, and then to a good wife and mother with a happy life, until now she lost her father, mother, and husband.
There is nothing more mournful than the death of a poor person who has lost her sister, brother, son, or daughter. Tears cannot help but flow from her cloudy and yellow eyes, and keep flowing along the lines on her cheeks...
·
Qingyan had just walked into the palace gate of Chuxiu Palace with three pots of flowers in her arms. She hadn't put the flowers on the ground yet. She was about to call Bailu and ask her to help find a sunny place to keep the flowers. The words just came out.
When it reached my throat, I couldn't help but stare wide-eyed at the "basket elevator" that was rising little by little on the lower left side of the ginkgo tree.
The lift is overall dark green. In order to maintain its appearance, the craftsmen specially opened an invisible door on the side that is not obvious and makes it easier to enter and exit.
At the same time, while ensuring safety, the internal space inside has been expanded as much as possible.
Not to mention children, the space is more than enough for two adults to stand together.
In order to raise the safety level to the highest level, Qingyan waited for the craftsmen to finish the small projects of the tree house, and then climbed up and used special powers to carefully fill in every joint of the tree house, elevators, and slides.
.
The bonding effect of her superpower is better than the steel and concrete in the apocalypse. I am afraid that even if an earthquake comes, as long as the ginkgo tree is not broken at the waist, these three things will be fine.
The craftsmen are very careful. In order to prevent the people inside from accidentally falling down when the elevator is taking off, the height of the fence around the elevator is made according to Qingyan's height of 1.7 meters. At the same time, the height of the elevator is also taken into consideration.
Due to the height of the child, the craftsmen also thoughtfully opened rectangular wind tunnels about fifty centimeters long and forty centimeters wide at half a meter, one meter, and one and a half meters in front of the lift, just like
Like a small window, children standing in the elevator can enjoy the scenery as they gradually rise through the wind window.
At this time, there were two chubby little white hands clinging to the edge of the half-meter-high wind tunnel. It was the little one wearing apricot-yellow breasts. However, his two heads and half body were still too short. He was standing on the ground.
Qingyan could only see half of his face with shining eyes.
Baoqing, who was next to him, completely exposed everything above his shoulders. When Baoqing, who was wearing a royal blue round-neck robe, saw Qingyan on the ground, he waved to her in a stylish way.
Little hands.
Looking to the side, there were two little girls with round faces standing next to Baoqing. Their eyes were smiling like crescent moons, and they waved to Qingyan. Tana was revealed at the 1.5-meter windshield.
A pretty little face with a smile.
"Auntie, Gu, Fei, get up, hahahaha~" Yinreng shouted excitedly at Qingyan's milk.
"Concubine, we are flying too!" Muldenge and Flana also said at the same time.
"Hey, Sister Qingyan, you are so mean. You didn't even tell me about the wonderful things in your palace." Tana lowered her elbows on the windshield and waved to her with a slight complaint in her tone.
said.
Qingyan looked at Bai Lu and He Zhuer standing under the tree, both looking hopeless. She clearly saw the look in He Zhuer's eyes that revealed that he was going to be beaten again when he returned to Qianqing Palace at night.
sense of despair.
She was also desperate. This tree house, this lift, and this slide, which she had designed with all her brainpower, and which she had spent her money and effort on as a contractor, were finally built, and she was not the first one to play on them!
