Siruke held his son in his arms and sat across from Qingyan, lowered his head and pressed his forehead against his son's little face, then gently squeezed Changquan's little hand, raised his head with gratitude and said to Qingyan: "My wife really doesn't know what to do.
How can I thank you so much, little master, you have done a great job in raising Chang Quan."
She had never dared to think about such an energetic son.
"Fu Jin is so polite. My little brother is very well-behaved and sensible. He is easy to take care of."
"It doesn't have much to do with me. The main reason is that His Highness and the others come frequently and always play with Xiao Changquan. The more the child moves, the more he eats and the more he eats, and he looks better."
A lot." Qingyan also smiled and reached out to touch Changquan's little hand.
"Hey!" Chang Quan smiled and waved his fist up and down, as if to cater to what Qian'e Niang said.
Little dolls are always fun.
Several children saw their little brother being taken away and ran from the bed to the table.
The little prince was standing next to his aunt with a yogurt pimple in his hand, and Qingyan directly lifted him onto her lap.
Baoqing, Muldenge and Flana also climbed onto the chair pulled by Bai Lu one after another. The three of them sat in a row obediently, chewing spiced beef jerky in their mouths and not bothering to talk.
"Brother, I'm hungry!"
Yinreng and Changquan happened to be sitting across from each other. They saw Xiao Changquan staring at the milky white yogurt pimple in his hand with his big black eyes. He licked his small mouth up and down, and a lot of saliva flowed out.
, He turned his head and said to his aunt.
After hearing the little prince's words, Siruke also quickly lowered his head and saw his son's greedy little cat appearance. She felt a little funny in her heart and called the nanny to her side: "Mommy, hurry up and carry Changquan down to breastfeed."
"Yes, slave, let's go right away." Auntie bent down, hugged Chang Quan tightly into her arms, and left in a hurry.
"The fengguo in Chuxiu Palace is really nourishing. As soon as I came here, I felt very comfortable. There are many things in my heart that I want to say."
These days, Siruke comes to Chuxiu Palace almost every two or three days. Qingyan has met her more often, and the two of them have gradually become familiar with each other. In addition, they have developed a close relationship with each other.
After some tacit understanding, he heard that she had something to say, so he lowered his head and said to Yin Reng in his arms: "Your Highness, let's eat grapes later. You and Bai Lu go to pick out some big and red bunches."
Can you take it off?"
"Yeah." The little prince nodded happily and slid off Qingyan's lap. He greeted the eldest child and his two sisters and ran out, with Bai Lu quickly following behind.
Seeing that there was no one else in the room, Siruke smiled and said softly to Qingyan: "I don't know, little master, but now the Ministry of Internal Affairs has begun to make phoenix robes. I heard that the concubine, concubine, and concubine are auspicious.
The clothes are also being prepared.”
"My wife heard from our prince two days ago that the situation in the south has changed and has almost entered a critical period. I am afraid that the emperor will have to start a wave of merit-based rewards for meritorious ministers as early as next year."
After listening to Siruke's words, Qingyan, who was drinking tea from a cup, paused slightly. Although the other party's words were a bit vague, she understood clearly that the withdrawal from San Francisco was now at an emergency, and the royal family needed to step up efforts.
With all the efforts to win over military generals and dignitaries, Kangxi will seal off the harem at the latest next year.
Naturally, I didn't know that this news was closely connected with the government.
It was probably Prince Yu and his wife who reciprocated the favor for the sake of their son Changquan and revealed it in advance.
She couldn't help but wonder in her mind that if she followed the trajectory of history, the phoenix robe must have belonged to the Niu Hulu family of Yikun Palace, and the imperial concubine's auspicious dress should have been the same size as the eldest cousin of Qiangong Palace, Ma Jia.
Nala and Guoluoluo are definitely concubines, so the remaining "concubine" will probably belong to you.
Seeing Qingyan lowering her head slightly and stroking the cup without saying anything, Siruke then reached out to pick up the tea cup and reminded with a smile: "I think the young master may be able to see something about the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet in a few days.
, the little master’s blessings are yet to come.”
"Thank you Fujin." Qingyan also smiled and pushed the dessert plate closer to Siruke. Both of them are smart people, so there is no need to explain some things clearly.
...Five days later, it will coincide with the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th.
At the beginning of Xu Shi, the sun had almost set and the sky was gradually getting dark.
The palace people lit the palace lanterns early, and the tables and banquets in the imperial garden were arranged in order.
The bright moon hung high in the night sky, and Qingyan took good care of herself today before bringing Bailu to the banquet.
Because the Imperial Garden and Chuxiu Palace were close to each other, they left the palace not too early. When they arrived at the banquet, they had already seen many concubines sitting down under the leadership of the palace maids.
The banquet arrangement is similar to a "口" shape with no bottom cover at the bottom.
There are three long tables placed in the middle, and a slightly smaller table is placed in front and left of these three tables. The tables arranged on the left and right are symmetrically distributed. This sequence seems to
They are also ranked according to the layout of the six east and west palaces and the favorability of the concubines.
As soon as Qingyan sat down at the first place at the table on the left, she saw her charming cousin sitting opposite her sitting at the first place at the table on the right. The two people's eyes happened to meet each other, so Tong took the first step.
His head glanced to one side.
Qingyan:……
Forget it, don't argue with her, Qingyan complained in her heart.
No matter how well-groomed her eldest cousin looks, she can still tell that she is extremely unhappy at this moment, and she doesn’t know who provoked her again.
Except for Tana, she has almost no contact with the concubines in this palace. She doesn't know most of the people here now, but this beautiful scenery and beauties do look very eye-catching.
When Qingyan looked at others, the people who were interested in her were also observing her calmly.
Someone also sat down next to her. Qingyan originally thought it was Tana, but she was a little surprised when she turned her head away.
She originally thought that she was already relatively tall in the palace, but she didn't expect that the woman next to her wearing a snow-blue flag uniform was even slightly taller than herself.
The woman felt Qingyan's gaze and turned her head, smiling gently at her.
Qingyan's greatest feeling for this woman, who had the same simple headdress and wore flat embroidered shoes on her feet, was that she was "handsome."
That's right, according to the previous life's description, this woman looks very androgynous.
Although her appearance may not be in line with the current aesthetic standards of the Qing Dynasty, she would definitely look better than most men if she wore men's clothing.
When Bai Lu saw her master's gaze, she bent down slightly to block her sight and said, "Master, this is Concubine Li, the granddaughter of Mr. Li Yongfang, the consort of Fuxi. She lives in Changchun Palace."
After hearing this, Qingyan nodded and moved her gaze forward. It turned out that she came from a family of military commanders. No wonder she had a neat and free spirit about her.
Qingyan's eyes turned away, but Li couldn't help but peek at her from the corner of her eye. She didn't expect Concubine Hesheli to be so good-looking. She really wanted to see her practicing kung fu.
.
The eldest maid who was following Li moved her steps and stood side by side with Bai Lu, blocking Li's view.
She knows her master best. She likes to look at beauties, eat delicious food, and even more likes to play with beauties who are good at skills. If it weren't for her lack of friendship with the little master Hesheli, she would have paid a visit long ago, but now she does
Let her find the opportunity.
After a while, at about three quarters to eight o'clock, the sound of quiet whips came from the entrance to the Imperial Garden.
All the concubines stood up and bent down to salute. They saw the emperor and Niu Hulu supporting the empress dowager on one side and the other on the right. Following the three of them was the emperor holding the little prince with his right hand.
Queen Mother Qiqige, and Mongolian Gergetana slightly supporting her on the left side.
This was originally a family banquet for the royal family. After the three giants sat down, the young prince slipped onto Qingyan's table.
Kangxi caught a glimpse of his son's little movements and ignored him.
Qingyan saw that Baoqing opposite was also sitting on the same seat as Nala, so she ordered Bailu to move another high chair and put it next to her, then reached out to lift the little prince up.
From the corner of her eye, Qingyan saw Mrs. Niu Hulu sitting on the smaller table in front of Kangxi's left. The banquet had not yet begun, but the eldest cousin opposite her was already drinking a glass of fruit wine and her face was already turning slightly red.
What else can’t be understood? Obviously at this banquet, the three giants have clearly announced to everyone their next successor...
Not only were there plump autumn crabs and mooncakes of various flavors to eat on the banquet, but the singing and dancing performances were also very exciting. Qingyan was in good spirits throughout the banquet.
"What are you drinking, auntie? It smells sweet, can Baocheng have a try?" Yinreng said curiously, looking at the translucent fruit wine in Qingyan's white porcelain cup.
"No, this is something that children will become stupid immediately after drinking it."
Qingyan immediately raised her neck and drank the very low-alcohol fruit wine in the cup. Then she pinched the small knob on the top of Yinreng's head and said half-intimidatingly, half-coaxingly: "Drink your milk obediently, and I'll wait for my aunt tomorrow."
Let Bailu squeeze pomegranate juice for you."
"We need to add an extra spoonful of honey." The little prince raised three fingers and said to discuss.
"Well, Auntie can't stop what His Highness wants to do."
Qingyan said with some melancholy: "If Your Highness wants to have rotten teeth that are black, leaky in speech, and spit out rice when eating, you can add a few spoons of honey to Bailu. Anyway, I won't stop you."
Qingyan turned her head away as soon as she finished speaking.
Yinreng: ...As expected, it is always very difficult for children to ask for food from adults.
Seeing that his aunt really would not agree to this matter, the little prince had no choice but to sigh and drink the milk. After putting down the small bowl, his mouth was also stained with a milky white color.
.
Qingyan quickly took out her handkerchief and wiped him with it. She also used serving chopsticks to put some vegetables on a small plate for him that he would eat.
The moon climbed higher and higher, and the banquet lasted for more than an hour before it ended.
After the three giants and the young prince left the banquet, Mrs. Tong immediately stood up and turned around, leaving no trace of face for Niu Hulu, who was hosting the banquet.
Niu Hulu just calmly ordered the palace people to clean up the table and then turned around and left.
Qingyan and Bai Lu had just walked to the entrance of Chuxiu Palace when they suddenly heard a slightly deeper female voice coming from behind.
"Sister Hesheli, please stay."
When she heard someone calling her, Qingyan turned around and saw that the person coming was Mr. Li. Her face was already slightly red after a glass of fruit wine.
