Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Dynasty

Kangxi didn't just come to Jiangning to have fun. After those singers were stuffed into a corner, An He never heard from them again. Even the elder brother didn't dare to act recklessly. Ignore it, but it can't stop the prince's contemptuous eyes anyway.As the elder brother grew older, he gradually realized that although the elder and younger are orderly, there is a difference in the status of the concubine. Even if he is the eldest son of his own Khan Ama, he is helplessly inferior to the noble status of the prince who is the descendant of the Yuan empress, so He took a deep breath and wanted to compete for a seat in front of himself Khan Ama.

After a day's rest, Kangxi led a group of elder brothers to the Yuhuatai to observe the situation of the city, mountains and rivers.Naturally, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager were not idle, and the wives of the officials below asked someone to set up a stage in Zhizao Mansion, and specially invited several famous opera troupes from Jiangsu and Zhejiang to sing.The empress dowager likes peace and quiet, and has not heard drama for many years, so she is not very interested in today's arrangement; the empress dowager does not need to say much, she can't even understand Chinese, let alone listen to opera.

An He occasionally listened to one or two operas when she was in the mansion before, and she sang really well, but she probably felt that she did not have the talent to appreciate dramas, and she only felt headaches after listening to them for a long time, so she just concentrated on eating Jinxiu Although the peeled pine nuts and melon seeds are sitting upright, people have already lost their minds.

The wives of the officials below listened attentively, and occasionally told the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager about the origin and allusions of this opera.Probably they all pretended to be proper, but no one saw the slightly impatient look of the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager.Seeing the empress dowager, An He couldn't help but secretly yawned, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and asked Jinxiu to send the empress dowager a plate of peeled peanuts.

The Empress Dowager couldn't stand the opera singing over and over again, no matter how good her self-cultivation was, she stood up holding Nanny Chen's hand and said, "I'm tired." Then she turned and left.

Seeing this, the Empress Dowager also stood up, put on Lu Nanny's hand and followed the Empress Dowager's pace.

"The Empress Dowager is probably tired too, so let's withdraw the troupe first." An He smiled slightly, "The ladies are well-intentioned, but we can't keep singing this play like this, or our ears will get tired after listening to it for a long time. Some people send rewards to these troupes, and then take them out. I have to go to see the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, and it is inconvenient to talk to the wives again."

As soon as An He's voice fell, the people below understood that their arrangement today failed to please the Empress Dowager, and they secretly cursed the people below for not inquiring about the preferences of the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, so they quickly got up and left. I am afraid that I will leave a bad impression on the two masters.

"The two sisters are tired too, let's go back and have a good rest." An He turned around and said with a smile to Concubine Tong and Concubine Borzigit.

"It's not too tiring, why don't you go to the Empress Dowager's place first." Concubine Tong Shu said softly.

An He glanced at her, unable to see what she was thinking, so he nodded slightly and took a step forward.Probably the two most honorable old ladies in the world were really tired and took a nap as soon as they got back.An He didn't ask any more questions after hearing Nanny Chen's and Nanny Lu's reply. He only ordered the two old ladies to take good care of them, and led Jinxiu and Feiqing back to their yard.

Xu Shi understood that he flattered the horse's leg, and all the officials' wives did not come the next day, and An He was also very happy, and slowly flipped through the miscellaneous notes that Jinxiu bought from outside.Today Kangxi took the crown prince to visit the mausoleum of Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty. Naturally, the elder brothers did not accompany him. It was rare for Yinzheng and Yin'e not to quarrel. One was practicing calligraphy quietly in the study room, and the other was sleeping dimly next to Anhe. .

"Master, let's eat something first." Madam Wanyan brought a few plates of snacks, "Master didn't use much for breakfast, it's still early, I'm afraid I'll be hungry if I don't need some snacks."

"I don't feel anything." An He put down the book in his hand, "Go and make a bowl of goat's milk, I don't want to drink tea today."

"Yes." Wanyan Nanny replied in a low voice.

"Er Niang." A soft and glutinous voice rang in his ears, An He put down the pastry in his hand, and saw Yin'e rubbing his eyes while rolling to An He's side, acting like a spoiled child, "Er Niang hugs Yin'er."

Pulling out the handkerchief to wipe off the debris on his hands, An He lifted him up and hugged him into his arms, and asked Feiqing to bring hot water to wipe Yin'er's face: "Are you awake? Are you hungry?"

Yin'e shook his head, arched his head in An He's arms a few times, and yawned again.

It seems that going out with Kangxi yesterday made his little baby tired, otherwise he wouldn't wake up early in the morning and fall asleep after eating half a bowl of porridge.According to Yin'er's usual food intake, one and a half bowls of porridge is about the same.An He wiped Yin'er's face and hands with a warm handkerchief, and then patted his back and hummed a little tune softly.

Yin'e didn't continue to sleep, she nestled quietly in An He's arms, and only said a word after a long time: "Emiang, yesterday the elder brother quarreled with the prince's elder brother."

An He's hands paused slightly, and then asked softly, "Why did you quarrel?"

"I don't know." Yin'e reached out and rubbed his eyes again.

Yin'e is only two years old, so he probably doesn't understand these things, so it seems that he has to ask Yinxuan.

After waking up, Yin'er was full of fighting power, so An He asked people to put away all the books on the table and lock them up, and brought some plates of pastries, and asked them to call Yin Zhe to eat together.Yinxuan's eyes lit up when he saw that it was his favorite honey jasmine tea and butter puff pastry. After saluting An He, he rushed to the table to pick up a piece and put it in his mouth.This snack was only eaten after he came to Jiangning, and this cream is still a thing for Westerners.His movements are elegant, but his eating speed is not slow. Yin'e, who is small and short-legged, can only watch helplessly as his brother sweeps up the snack with a sudden speed.

Seeing his youngest son's puffy face and eye sockets starting to turn red, An He quickly comforted him, "There's still some in the kitchen, let's ask Fei Qing to bring another dish."

Only then did Yin'er nod obediently, the redness in her eyes slowly receding.

Yinxuan didn't do anything after sweeping up a plate of butter pine rolls, but just sat next to An He and let An He be obedient.My mother's hand was warm and soft, and the feeling of sweeping it on her back was warm and comfortable.Since he moved to Elder Brother's office, An He has rarely made such close gestures to him. One is that he has less time to return to Qixiang Palace, and the other is that he always feels that he has grown up and should no longer be like a younger brother. Same spoiled.

"Have you finished writing today's words?" Seeing that Yinxuan half-closed his eyes, An He asked with a smile.

"I have written ten big characters, and I will show it to the prince's elder brother when he comes back." Yinzuo replied with a smile.

"Just now Yin'er said that the elder brother had a quarrel with the prince yesterday?" Seeing that his eldest son and the prince were getting closer, Niu Hulu's family had drifted away from Nalan Mingzhu's family under the leadership of Faka.Although they are relatives, the marriage relationship between Manchus is inherently complicated. How many people would really take such a relationship to heart.

"It's not a big deal, but Khan Ama asked a question about the allusion of Yuhuatai, and both the prince's brother and the eldest brother answered correctly. Khan Amado praised the prince's brother a few times, and the eldest brother was not happy." Yinzuo replied Said, "According to my son, the elder brother of the prince is already distinguished. It's okay for Khan Ama to praise the elder brother of the prince in front of all the ministers. The eldest brother is too stingy."

"So it's just like that." An He lowered his eyes.It's not just once or twice that Kangxi praised the prince for his hard work and meritorious service in front of the officials. Isn't it always like this in the past?But since Kangxi bestowed Irgenjue Luo's marriage to the elder brother, the elder brother has become more and more targeted towards the prince. I am afraid that he feels that he has such a powerful family of wives, and there is Nalan Mingzhu in the court, so his mind has become active. Woke up.

"Brother Prince didn't look very good at that time, it was my son who persuaded him." Yinzhuo said again.

"You did a good job. After all, the prince should not be angry in front of you, Khan Ama, and other officials." An He touched Yinxuan's head, "It's just that the elder brother is also your elder brother after all, you treat him You have to be respectful."

"My son knows." Because of being close to the crown prince, Yinxuan also got the elder brother's eyes, but he never bothered to get angry with this elder brother who was ten years older than him but still had a childish temper, "Yesterday Khan Ama said that she will take her son out tomorrow, and then the son will buy things for Er Niang."

"If you have this filial piety, my mother will be satisfied."

"What did big brother do today?" Kangxi asked directly after he brought the prince back from Ming Taizu Mausoleum.

"If you go back to the emperor, elder brother has been studying in the yard all day today." Li Dequan waited on him, while Wei Zhu stayed in the Jiangning weaving mansion. When Kangxi asked about elder brother, he replied truthfully, "In the afternoon He went to the school yard to practice riding and archery."

"Oh, didn't you meet anyone?" Kangxi asked, rubbing the jade wrench in his hand.

"No." Wei Zhu also heard about the quarrel between the crown prince and elder brother yesterday, no wonder the emperor wanted to stay in the mansion to closely monitor elder brother's actions.

Kangxi gave a faint "hmm".The eldest son, Yinfeng, was his first son who grew up safely. He was handsome and good at reading, riding and shooting. Kangxi also placed high hopes on him, hoping that he could be a virtuous minister and assist Yinfeng like his elder brother, Prince Yu.But as Yinyi got older, he deviated from Kangxi's expected trajectory.In the court hall, the conflict between Nalan Mingzhu and Suo'etu is beginning to emerge. Yinyi and Nalan Mingzhu are also getting closer and closer. Yesterday, he even dared to choke with Yinrong in front of him and his officials. Zhi and Yinzuo were persuaded to leave in time.

Yinreng is the only bloodline left to him by Renxiao. He is the crown prince he personally registered and the future master of this country. He cannot allow others to shake Yinreng's position, even if that person is his own flesh and blood.Kangxi narrowed his eyes slightly, and said: "Continue to observe Elder Brother's words and deeds for me, and if there is something wrong, get back to me immediately."

"Slave obeys the order." Wei Zhu hurriedly bowed in response.

After all, it was his son, Kangxi decided to give Yinyi another chance, he just regarded what happened yesterday as Yinyi's youth and frivolity.

Yinyi, don't let your Khan Ama down!
