His Royal Highness the First Prince of Daliang

Ever since the emperor made a wish for him, Kang Ning has been looking forward to the coming of warm spring with grass growing and warblers flying.He began to obediently drink the recuperating prescriptions that Wang Taiyi constantly considered and changed every day, no longer tried every possible means to delay and avoid those sour soups, and listened to the arrangements of the nuns for eating and sleeping, changing clothes, and every now and then. Following the martial arts master's gestures and strokes, the small fists and calves made people laugh quietly.

He spent the first month with apprehension, followed by February when he was pleasantly surprised to find that he had grown taller again. In the second half of the month, the wind has warmed up, and the Datong River outside the capital is only a few ice balls floating on the turbulent spring water. , Zaoqing couldn't wait to reveal the continuous turf in the suburbs of Beijing, making the air smell of moist soil and rain.

Bitao changed Kang Ning into a new jacket made this spring, and Concubine Zhao began to dress him up as if he were a big child. She no longer just chose some too soft and tender colors, but used a few Suzhou horses brought in by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The satin made by tribute, half of the family made clothes for the little prince and Qi Changfeng.Sapphire blue, black blue, and silver gray, Qi Changfeng's upper body is already suave and suave as a young man, and even Kang Ning, who is still childish, is also dressed with a bit of elegance.

At the end of February, on a holiday in full spring, Qi Changfeng used to go to the camp of the imperial guards to train with the chief of the Kyoto cavalry. The one who could stay in the palace flew out early in the morning before Kang Ning woke up. Kang Ning searched around excitedly, but not long after, he led his little follower back listlessly.

Concubine Zhao Gui is arranging for her servants to check the warehouse and find out the things that are not needed to make room for Yongchun Palace.Raising a child is like this. Every quarter and every month, the House of Internal Affairs sends him food and clothing, and the House of Internal Affairs sends his daily utensils. The more they are gathered, the more complicated it becomes. Those palace lanterns—not counting the dozens of lamps specially painted by the emperor for his youngest son—had already occupied an ear room in a row of storerooms in the apse.Most of these may not have been seen by Corning at all.

Kang Ning stayed beside his concubine and played quietly by himself. A set of trivial bamboo and wooden generals was scattered on the floor. Concubine Zhao heard the youngest son muttering in his mouth while fiddling, and sometimes looked at it. I was not busy, so I walked around her feet, begging for a bite of the fresh meat snacks on her plate.

After a while, Huanqing brought in a very delicate big kite.It was a framed kite, with lively auspicious blessings painted on it, covered with hundreds of "whistle whistles" of various sizes, all made of goose feather tubes, and when shaken lightly, A clear whistle can be heard.This was given to Kang Ning by Zhao Yunxia when he was a child. At that time, Zhao Yunxia was in Chongzhou. He specially asked a kite-making expert to make it for his little nephew. It took half a year to get it. When the New Year was approaching, I made another detour to Jiangning Mansion to pick it up in person.

But at that time, Kang Ning couldn't play at all, and he didn't even have any impression of this exquisite big kite.When he was young, he suffered from groggy and sickness for months and months, his life was like a cluster of thin flames swaying in the wind, and he was always in a daze all year round.Concubine Zhao was grateful for her younger brother's kindness, even though her son would not need it, she would not be willing to pass on such an insignificant but rare good thing to another prince or princess, so she ordered her servants to keep it properly and leave it for her son to grow up Enjoy.

A few years have passed in a flash, and she no longer remembers the kite that earned her a few tears back then.Seeing it suddenly today, she just remembered that there is such a thing.

When Kang Ning saw it, he reached out to ask for it.

"It's really buried the good things," Huanqing sent the big brightly colored kite to the arms of the little highness, and told him to hold it for himself. "Fortunately, I also forgot about this rare thing! Those little kites Where has the girl seen such a kite? I don’t know how to take care of it, these whistles. It took half a day to wipe off the dust.”

Concubine Zhao put down the warehouse booklets that gave her a headache and dazzled her eyes—there were two or three books piled up in her hand alone, and she glanced at the bright sky outside.The youngest son has been posting around her all the time, and she also knows that he is bored, and deliberately pretends to be pitiful in front of her to ask for attention.Concubine Zhao thinks her son's superficial thoughtfulness is cute, so she deliberately stretches him to pretend not to know, firstly, she has never eaten Qi Xiaolang's idle jealousy in the past six months as a mother, and secondly, taking care of vulgar affairs is boring and annoying, there is a The little guy teased her beside her, and she would feel better.

"Take your big guy out for a run," Concubine Zhao now realizes the benefits of letting the children run and dance outside more, and no longer blindly sticks to her side and watches closely, "It's just that you have to behave well, Be careful not to bump into each other, and you can't blindly play around and sweat all over. You have to listen to when you add or remove clothes—"

Her eyes turned around the window in the hall.Dozens of palace attendants usually feel that the Yongchun Palace will not be able to accommodate so many people, but when it comes to festivals, or when the warehouse is tossing around like today, there are not enough people.Even the little eunuch who usually accompanied Kang Ning to play full-time on weekdays went to share his hands and dry books, and Huanqing Huanxue and a few nuns had no time to stand up.She was suddenly envious of Concubine Shu, who had a sensible eldest daughter who could help her.

But when she doesn't get close, her life is the most important thing, and Concubine Zhao didn't hesitate-"Listen to Ye Momo. If you wait for you to come back, Ye Momo says you are disobedient. Next time, mother concubine But don’t worry about going out by yourself.” She waved her hand and told a second-class court lady beside her, “Huanyue, go and call Xiaofuzi and the others back, and ask them to accompany your Highness to fly a kite in the garden.”

Corning was happy again.Holding his new baby, he flew out like a little butterfly.The sky was clear at this time, with wisps of clouds moving slowly overhead, and the light was not as dazzling as before.

The kite that Zhao Yunxia asked for was really extraordinary. When several people unfolded it on the ground, they were already amazed. When it flies into the air, hundreds of finely carved whistles whistle in the wind, and the whistles with the lowest syllables are arranged in a string of beeping gourds. The whining sound is long and clear, and the huge imperial garden will soon be overwhelmed. All the palace attendants on duty were attracted, and they stopped to watch and applauded.

Kang Ning led the little eunuchs to play like crazy, ran wildly and laughed so hard that their faces flushed red, the buttons of the small jacket on their body had been undone two times, and hot sweat broke out on their necks and foreheads.Ye Momo called him urgently, hurriedly chasing after him to feed the little master water, straighten his clothes and wipe his sweat, but the old mother was also happy in her heart——

People who watched and made fun of this garden were laughing and laughing, which made people happy and carefree.The most important thing is that her little master is so happy, running and jumping, looking strong and healthy, the old mammy sees it, and her heart is sweeter than drinking honey.

When the cool wind blew quietly, none of the happy people noticed it, until a palace lady standing at the gate of Haitang Garden felt that it was a little cold, looked up, and then exclaimed: "The sky is going to change!"

The weather in spring is really unpredictable. The garden was covered with golden light just a moment ago, and at this moment, the sky in the distance is still clear, but the clouds are overcast above their heads, and the wind has picked up.The flying kites in the air soared up in an instant, and thousands of whistles rang loudly, like a drum ensemble, like a hundred birds clanging.

"Your Majesty, go back quickly!" Yu said, and Ye Momo's face changed suddenly, she rushed over and hugged Kang Ning into her arms, and the hot sweat on the child's head was blown away by the wind in an instant. "Oh my god!" She said bitterly, looking forward to the palace sweeper who had cleverly gone to get the umbrella, but it was not so fast.

The old mother was heartbroken: "The old slave will run back with the little master in his arms!"

Although Kang Ning was swept away and pursed his lips a little unhappy, he also knew to be obedient at this time.Just: "Little Fuzi, quickly take back the kite and run back quickly. Don't get wet!"

The two young eunuchs were about to cry at this moment, the spring breeze was so fast and urgent that the kite could not be pulled at all for a while.The two of them and the strong eunuch who rushed to help dragged the string to death. The squall and rain came soon after, and there was only an inaudible "呲" sound, and the kite string was instantly caught by a The tall tree branches were cut off in the air.

Kang Ning watched helplessly that his new love, who had made him extremely happy just now, disappeared in the sky before he had time to present a treasure to Brother Changfeng, and immediately let out a sad cry.But he couldn't play his temper at this time.Seeing that many low-level palace people braved the rain and started looking for kites for him, he could only hold back the sadness in his heart and shouted: "You guys go to hide from the rain, don't worry about the kite!" The cold wind in the stomach.

The princes and princesses who were outside today were all chilled by this ever-changing sky, but Zhao Guifei, who was in charge of the affairs of the harem, couldn't care less about others.Half of the people in the Yongchun Palace rescued the objects, calligraphy, paintings and books that were put out to dry, and half of the people circled around Kangning, took a hot bath and poured ginger soup for the little prince, and at the same time sent someone to urgently call the doctor Wang who is always on duty in the palace.

Kang Ning's whole body was wilted. Thinking of his hope that he would be able to go out with Brother Changfeng to play without getting sick for ten days, and thinking of the beloved kite he lost, he felt scared and sad.Concubine Zhao has been hugging her son to comfort him, saying that Kang Ning has grown up, and now she has become strong and strong, and will not get sick easily again.

Coax him and coax himself.

But in the short time that Wang Taiyi was brought back to the Yongchun Palace, the high fever surged up violently, and made a comeback in this weak body.
