Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty

The midwife carefully picked up the baby, cut the umbilical cord with herbs and scissors boiled in boiling water, and immediately carried it to clean it.Because of the birth, the charcoal basin in the house will not freeze the little elder brother.

Mrs. Chen cared more about Chen Xiuming than the midwife cared about the little elder brother. She glanced at the child being carried to be cleaned, and then looked down at Chen Xiuming.

Mrs. Chen and Madam Su also noticed that Chen Xiuming's expression was very strange. Both of them grew up watching Chen Xiuming, and at this time Chen Xiuming's state was obviously not right.

Chen Xiuming had just given birth at this time, her face was pale from exhaustion, and the maid who scrubbed Chen Xiuming couldn't see anything, the most strange thing was that Chen Xiuming's lips began to turn purple.

Thinking of the reason, Mrs. Chen suddenly felt dizzy, "Go... go and call the imperial doctor, Ming'er has a heart attack. Go!"

Chen Xiuming had frequent heart attacks when she was a child, and many times when it was severe, it was the same as this time. Apart from the purple lips, Chen Xiuming would still press the heart very painfully.

Kangxi waited for half an hour before the midwife came to announce the congratulations, "Congratulations to the emperor, the empress dowager, and the imperial concubine have got an elder brother. Although the elder brother is not full-term, he is still healthy."

Kangxi immediately laughed and said, "Reward!"

Before everyone could say congratulations, they saw Fanghua who was serving in front of the Empress Dowager, but now serving Chen Xiuming, entered the room in panic.

"Your majesty, the empress dowager, all the ladies are blessed and safe." Fanghua hurried into the room.

"What's the matter of panic." Kangxi felt a thump in his heart when he saw that Fanghua, who had always been calm and composed before, looked so hurried.

"Back to the emperor, the imperial concubine gave birth to the little prince, and she has a heart attack." Fanghua's voice was crying, "Physician Zhou and other imperial physicians are not sure..."

"Li Dequan, go to Xuanwang imperial physician and hospital envoy!" Kangxi was originally happy, but he was also anxious after hearing this. "Let them go straight to the imperial concubine!"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Dequan went outside when he heard Kangxi's words.

Of course, Li Dequan's legs and feet were not enough, so when he went out, Li Dequan asked the little eunuch standing outside to go to the Imperial Medical Office, while he stood outside the gate of Yongshou Palace and waited for the envoy and Imperial Physician Wang to arrive.

The envoys of the Imperial Medical Office are not passed on casually. The envoys are the most skilled people in the Imperial Medical Office. They only listen to Kangxi's summons, and usually only give Kangxi and the Empress Dowager a pulse. For example, Chen Xiuming has a high status, is favored by Kangxi, and is willing to be an envoy.

Kangxi also felt helpless at this time. Since Chen Xiuming's pregnancy this time, various accidents have occurred frequently.First, I found out that I was pregnant and found that my body couldn’t bear the shock. Then I twisted my foot a few years ago, but it was a false alarm. Even I fell down yesterday. It didn’t hurt too much. I woke up this morning and gave birth to a strong elder brother. Why is it that he has a heart attack again now? If this is not good, how can it be good.

"Hey, you all go back, there's nothing you can do if you stay here." Kangxi sighed and began to let the concubines go back.

"Yes." The concubines have been sitting here for a long time, and they are also tired. Now Kangxi obviously wants to make people leave the Yongshou Palace, so the concubines left wisely.

When the concubines left Yongshou Palace, they held back a lot of words in their hearts, but they didn't dare to talk nonsense at this stall, so they went back to their own palace in silence all the way.

Back in the palace, the concubines who had been favored and lived together gathered together to talk.

Before Chen Xiuming entered the palace, although Kangxi rarely came to the harem to rest, he would come, and he still had something to look forward to.After Chen Xiuming entered the palace, Kangxi went to Yongshou Palace the most besides Qianqing Palace, and then went to high-ranking concubines or concubines with children. The low-ranking concubines who were favored before would never see Kangxi.

It was inevitable that jealousy would arise from this, but they also knew in their hearts that Kangxi never cared about them, and after thinking about it, they figured it out. Apart from chatting with a sister who lived in the palace, they did not dare to go out and talk nonsense .

In addition to the low-ranking concubines gathering together to chat, the high-ranking fourth concubine was also preparing a gift for Chen Xiuming when she returned to the palace, and a gift for the little elder brother to be washed for the third time.

The palace hasn't been so lively for a long time, and I'm afraid there will be a big event after the third wash, and then there will be a few people in charge of the harem busy.

After the concubines left, Kangxi and the Queen Mother went to see the newborn little elder brother. The little elder brother was not born at full term, and his stature was inevitably smaller.

Fortunately, the wet nurses in the palace were all selected from the seventh month of the concubine's pregnancy, and they began to use food to recuperate their bodies, which can be regarded as effective now.

The little elder brother fell asleep after eating. Kangxi and the queen mother were relieved when they saw that the younger elder brother had no other problems except that his body was smaller, and the imperial doctor had diagnosed him.

Kangxi and the queen mother didn't know that the moment Kangxi saw the child, the golden dragon in Kangxi's body came out of Kangxi's body and floated in the air.

Jin Long looked at the little elder brother curiously, tilted his head and slapped it down with his paw, the little elder brother seemed to move his mouth feeling something.

Jinlong was frightened by the little elder brother and froze immediately before touching the little elder brother's paws. After finding that the little elder brother hadn't made any other movements, Jinlong left the room and went to Chen Xiuming's bedroom.

At this time, the bedroom had already been cleaned up. The maid not only changed clothes and scrubbed Chen Xiuming's body, but also changed the sheets and quilts. Although there was still some bloody smell in the bedroom, it was extremely strong under the cover of incense. Light.

The hospital envoy hurried over and followed Li Dequan directly to Chen Xiuming's sleeping hall. After taking the pulse, he said with a relaxed expression, "It's okay, it's okay, my mother just caused her heart disease because she was too frightened during childbirth. Although she looked dangerous, she didn't die. worries."

All the imperial physicians standing next to him also went forward to check the pulse, and the pulse diagnosed was almost the same as what the hospital envoy said, so they felt relieved.

Everyone then withdrew from the bedroom, Madam Chen was relieved when she heard the imperial doctor said that there was no danger of life, but Chen Xiuming's situation was too scary this time, which made Madam Chen worried for a while.

Mrs. Chen is also getting older, and her emotions have been a little bit more ups and downs from yesterday to today, and now she feels her tense nerves loosen after listening to the doctor's words.

Jin Long didn't pay attention to the words and expressions of other people in the room. When he saw Chen Xiuming lying on the bed quietly, Jin Long was very happy.

Just like in the past when Chen Xiuming and Kangxi fell asleep, the golden dragon floated quietly on the bed.After being quiet for a while, Jinlong also seemed to realize that something was wrong. Kangxi was not sleeping on the bed at this time, and the seat next to Chen Xiuming was vacant.

Jin Long swept the bed with his hand, sank down and lay down on the bed by himself, tossed and turned for a while, Jin Long put his tail on Chen Xiuming's stomach before he calmed down, stared at Chen Xiuming for a while, Jin Long closed his eyes .

Kangxi also thought of Mrs. Chen after seeing the little elder brother and hearing the imperial physician report that Chen Xiuming was not in danger of life.Hearing from Li Dequan that Mrs. Chen was still in the bedroom, he sent someone to send Mrs. Chen down to rest.

Mrs. Chen also experienced a lot of emotional ups and downs in just two days, and her body, which was already struggling, couldn't hold it back immediately after returning to the room.Grandma Liu brought calming tea to Mrs. Chen to drink, and Mrs. Chen fell asleep soundly.

Kangxi, who stayed in Yongshou Palace, also asked the Queen Mother to go back. Now Yongshou Palace has a strong smell of medicine, and the Queen Mother always coughs when she smells it.

The Empress Dowager left Fu Hai as a messenger, so she returned to Shoukang Palace.It's not that the Empress Dowager doesn't want to stay, it's just that the weather has gotten hot these days, and the Empress Dowager is not feeling well, if she stays in Yongshou Palace and gets sick, it will also cause trouble for Chen Xiuming.

Kangxi was not idle in Yongshou Palace, and the envoy was sent to inquire carefully about Chen Xiuming's body, and Kangxi also understood.Kangxi was already knowledgeable and talented, and he also dabbled in medical skills. Although he could not reach the level of diagnosis and treatment, he could still understand Chen Xiuming's current condition.

Chen Xiuming just drank a bowl of medicine and it has already seen the effect. The purple lips have faded a lot, and the pulse has stabilized a lot.

After learning about Chen Xiuming's situation, Kangxi remembered that the birth of a little elder brother was to be rewarded.Although Chen Xiuming has a good family background, she is a girl of the Han family and her status cannot be further promoted.

In this way, only the Chen family was promoted, or honored for the young elder brother who was just born.

Not thinking about anything else, Kangxi ordered Concubine De to lead the concubines to start preparing for the third baptism of the little elder brother.

As an elder brother, the three rites of baptism are unusual, not to mention that Kangxi said that it will be a big one, so naturally the standard of the three rites for the younger brother is also very high.

In addition to ordering the Ministry of Internal Affairs to rush to make special washing basins, it is also necessary to prepare water for washing for three o'clock. Although these will be done as soon as the order is given, there are also things that need to be discussed carefully.

For example, the things that are placed in the sansan basin, the peanut Ruyi-style cushion basins ranging from silver, gold to jade, and the small weights used for the sansan are all carefully selected.

In addition, there are people who need to be invited during the three-day bath. These people are all life wives, and they are extremely particular about how many and which ones to invite.

Several people in power discussed for half a day before finalizing the list, and after it was finalized, they had to send it to be recorded and made an order.

This matter took a lot of effort, and with the joint efforts of everyone, it was finally completed in one day.

Chen Xiuming lay on the bed for three days while drinking medicine every day, and her heart disease was relieved a lot in three days.

During these three days, Kangxi stayed in Yongshou Palace except for going to court and approving memorials.

Kangxi saw the little elder brother every day, and also saw the wrinkled red skin of the little elder brother when he was born, and saw how the redness faded and became fair and smooth.

Children less than three days old cannot see clearly and sleep almost all the time.Kangxi was also happy to see the little elder brother's appearance, and felt that the younger elder brother was good-looking, so he only picked Chen Xiuming and his own good-looking place to grow.

Not to mention a baby with unopened facial features and full of flesh, how did Kangxi see that he is good-looking, even if he looks like him now, he can't tell.

It has to be said that Kangxi's thoughts are becoming more and more biased towards the thoughts of young men who have just become fathers.

But this is also human nature, and it is very rare for the little elder brother to be the old man of Kangxi.

Besides, this child belongs to Chen Xiuming and his own whom Kangxi likes a little, so naturally he feels happy just looking at it.

Chen Xiuming still didn't wake up for three days, and Jinlong also lay in the place where Kangxi slept in front of Yongshou Palace for three days, except for going to Kangxi's body to stay in Kangxi's body for a while before going to see the little elder brother, he just stayed in Yongshou Palace.

The three baptisms began on May [-]th after the busy preparations in the palace.

The three baptisms were completed by the midwife holding the little elder brother.

At noon, the three rites were being washed, and an incense table was set up on the front of Chen Xiuming's bedroom. Wait for thirteen statues.

The statues are dignified and solemn, with natural expressions. These thirteen statues are all made of white jade. Although they look exquisite, they also have a sense of cold distance.

There are censers in front of these statues, and the censers contain millet as incense ash for incense.

A pair of "small double bags" (mutton oil small red wax specially used for sacrifices) are inserted on the wax skewer, and yellow coins, ingots, and thousand pieces of money and food for worshiping the gods are pressed underneath.

Later, the statues of "Kang Gong and Kang Mother" were offered at the head of Chen Xiuming's bed.

As usual, the selected old man led the midwife to offer incense. At this time, there was no more suitable person for Mrs. Chen in the palace.

Mrs. Chen offered incense and kowtowed, and the midwife also bowed three times.After the ceremony, the copper basin containing locust leaves and mugwort leaves for making soup and all etiquette supplies were neatly placed on another table.

Hongli, who was born in the 50th year of Kangxi, used an exquisite ichthyosaur change basin, while the little elder brother used a newly made 24 dragon play basin.This pot was specially drawn by Kangxi and ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make it quickly, which can be regarded as a kind of grace.

The auspicious time has come, and the midwife led the Empress Dowager, Kangxi, all the concubines, the prince Ji Fujin and others to start feeding.

First, the Empress Dowager put a small spoonful of water into the basin, and then put in the jade Buddha bead bracelet she had been carrying all year round, and then Kangxi also added a spoonful of water, and put a piece of jade pendant.

As soon as Kangxi let go of the jade pendant, he put it into the basin, except that it was white and decorated with bright yellow tassels.

Afterwards, the fourth concubine and several concubines who were eligible to participate in this pot filling also poured water and put things in order.After that, there are the princes and Fujin, and finally the royal family.

There are many people adding basins, and the midwives kept saying good things after everyone added water and things. The boiling water in the 24 dragon play basins that were served earlier also turned into a warm water.

After adding the pot, the midwife used a piece of osmanthus wood to stir in the pot, and said auspicious words while stirring, "Stir once, stir again and again, brother leads brother to run..."

After reading a passage, I began to bathe the little elder brother.

At this time, the already slightly cold water was poured on the little elder brother, and the little elder brother cried loudly because of the cold, and the people standing around watching the ceremony kept talking about auspiciousness.During the third bath, it is auspicious for the child to catch a cold and cry loudly, which shows that the little elder brother is in good health.

Bathing is also very particular, head, waist, abdomen, feet... the order is extremely important, and auspicious words are also spoken during the process.

After washing, light it with mugwort leaf balls, use ginger as a support, and put it on the little brother's forehead for a symbolic burn.Then comb the little elder brother's hair and roll his face with eggs.

Then he tied up the little elder brother symbolically, and lightly beat his body three times with a green onion, saying, "One dozen is smart, two dozen are smart..." Then he ordered people to put the onion on the high roof, as a token of righteousness. The child will be very smart in the future.

After that, make three gestures with the weight and the lock, implying that the future status is as light as light, prudent and prudent.

Then put the little elder brother on the tea tray, and tuck the little elder brother with the gold and silver scorpion (ke four sounds) prepared in advance, which means that the little elder brother will be blessed with great fortune and fortune when he grows up.Although the little elder brother will not lose wealth if he is born in the royal family, but this process still has to go.

At this point, Mrs. Chen and the midwife invited the yard, god-worshiping money and food, and incense roots together, and sent them to the side for incineration.

The midwife used copper chopsticks to hold the magic code of "Kang Gong and Kang Mother" and said, "Kang Gong and Kang Mother are originally surnamed Li, and the adults and children will be handed over to you..."

Then, wrap the ashes with red paper and press them under the bedding of Chen Xiuming's bed, implying to protect Chen Xiuming and the little elder brother in safety.

Afterwards, the midwife congratulated Kangxi and the Queen Mother immediately, in order to ask for a few rewards.

What the midwife can take is the money and food that were originally enshrined to the gods, gold and silver, jewelry, and millet for making incense ash...but there are a lot of them.

The three baptisms took a long time and were very grand. The golden dragon lying on Chen Xiuming's bed was coiled on a pillar in the outer hall through the door of the sleeping hall at the beginning of the three baptisms.After Kangxi put things into the basin, Jinlong also stirred the water with his tail.After that, Jin Long looked at the little elder brother quietly.

When the midwife was bathing the little elder brother again, Jinlong also ran there, standing on the ground with two hind paws, and imitating the movements of the nanny with two front paws, pretending to have water in the paws. brother cleaning.

This scene is very funny, but it's a pity that the only one who can see now is Chen Xiuming, who is also lying on the bed, so no one can see this funny and warm scene.

Jinlong did not return to Chen Xiuming's side after the three baptisms, but went to stay in Kangxi's body again.

At this point, the three baptisms were officially over, and the little elder brother was carried back to his own room. The people present did not leave immediately, but stayed in Yongshou Palace for a meal.

During the meeting, Kangxi asked Hongli who had also performed the three rites before, "Fourth brother, the fourth and fifth elder brothers in your house are now about to reach the age of enlightenment."

"Returning to Emperor Ama, Hongli and Hongzhou are out of temper, and the servants have already asked the staff in the mansion to characterize their enlightenment." Prince Yong replied.

"Children, it's better to move around a bit. Now that the 21 and 22 elder brothers are going to go to the elder brother's school, it will be good to let the four of them go to school together in a few days."

"Yes." Prince Yong agreed, his face was expressionless as usual, making it impossible to see emotions.

Concubine De, who was sitting closer to Kangxi, and Prince Yong's biological mother did not look very happy.

Almost everyone in the palace knew that Concubine De didn't like Prince Yong, because Prince Yong was raised by Empress Xiao Yiren when he was young, although he returned to Concubine De's side later.But everyone knew that Concubine De had already had another child at that time and had begun to alienate Prince Yong because of Empress Xiaoyiren.

If it was only because Prince Yong grew up beside Empress Xiao Yiren, he definitely wouldn't be so alienated... He wouldn't even be very dissatisfied with Fujin in Prince Yong's mansion.

The reason for this is unknown to everyone, but the relationship between Concubine De and Prince Yong is extremely bad.

Concubine De's appearance fell in the eyes of the other concubines, and they all laughed in their hearts.

In the past, Prince Yong would grow up under Empress Xiao Yiren's lap, isn't it because Concubine De made it herself.He used his first son to raise Empress Xiaoyiren, while relying on Kangxi's pity, he became pregnant and promoted one after another.

Now because Prince Yong was once raised by Empress Xiao Yiren, he treats him coldly, only cares about the fourteenth elder brother, and belittles Prince Yong openly and secretly.He also gave hope to the fourteenth elder brother. Although the fourteenth elder brother also got the favor, it is obviously a bit silly to let the fourteenth elder brother fight for it.

Prince Yong has been rooted in the household department for many years now, and he is also the most powerful assistant among the adult princes of Kangxi. If Concubine De wins over, the chances of winning may be better, but it's a pity...

Jinlong stayed in Kangxi's body for a while, and he didn't know what happened outside.

After Jinlong stayed enough, he left Kangxi's body. Jinlong first went to the little elder brother's room as usual.

When the golden dragon came, the little elder brother was not asleep, but was looking at the roof curiously with his eyes open.

The little elder brother can see things clearly now. The decorations in the palace are mostly bright and eye-catching colors such as red, blue, and bright yellow. At this time, the little elder brother is staring at the wood painted with flowers, birds, fish and insects on the roof.

Looking at the little elder brother, he also noticed the golden dragon shining on the side.

Jin Long raised his paw, and when he found that the little elder brother's eyes would follow his paw, Jin Long immediately became more interested in playing.

Not only did he stretch out his paws to tease the little brother, but he also flew over the little brother, twisting his body into various shapes to make the little brother unable to move his eyes.

No matter how curious the little elder brother is, he can't match the sleep that his body needs, and he gradually changes from dozing to deep sleep...

Seeing that the little elder brother was asleep, Jin Long's paws were itchy, and he stretched out his claws to poke the little elder brother, but it was a pity that Jin Long couldn't touch the little elder brother... After trying a few times, Jin Long also gave up and swayed slowly Back to Chen Xiuming's bedroom.

Chen Xiuming's three-day coma did not enter that fantasy space, nor did she fall asleep with a consciousness that knew nothing.After she fell into a coma, she had a very blurred and fantastic dream...

Chen Xiuming regained consciousness in a dark place, as if he heard Chen Xiuming's inner voice, a little candlelight lit up in the darkness.Staring at the candlelight, Chen Xiuming also felt that the candlelight was getting closer, until she saw the pure white candle under the candlelight.

The candlelight is not the usual orange, but a faint blue that seems to be covered with a layer of tulle.

The candle quickly became shorter, and the blue candlelight became brighter and brighter.

Until the candles were all burned out, something finally emerged from the blue candlelight.

A strand of golden candlelight entwined with a strand of black candlelight. Gradually, the golden candlelight dyed the black candlelight into gold, and the two strands of gold gradually merged.

After an unknown period of time, a trace of black candlelight appeared in the combined golden candlelight.

Candles of two colors could not assimilate the other color. In the end, the golden candles faded and disappeared, and then the black candles also disappeared.

Chen Xiuming felt that what he saw this time might not be a very ordinary thing, but Chen Xiuming couldn't figure out what it was, so he could only think of nothing.

Then Chen Xiuming began to feel sleepy, and finally the sleeping Chen Xiuming disappeared, and a sigh came from this empty and frightening place...

When Chen Xiuming woke up, it was already the afternoon of the day of the three baptisms, and it was not accurate to say that it was the afternoon, it was going to be dark.

When Chen Xiuming woke up, Mrs. Chen and Madam Su were overjoyed, and immediately sent someone to inform Kangxi and the Queen Mother.

Chen Xiuming also saw the child for the first time three days after she gave birth.

When the child was brought in, what Chen Xiuming saw was not the child, but the clusters of golden little clouds on his own child!

The luck of the people I have seen before, although there are clouds, are all kinds of colors with a hint of gold at most. I don't want my child's luck to be completely golden.

Although gold is the most precious, now it seems that the little elder brother is full of clouds, and I am afraid that he will not have the emperor's life like Prince Yong.

That's fine, all the grown-up elder brothers I've seen before are dragons or snakes, and it seems that they are all involved in the struggle for imperial power.

Before Chen Xiuming saw the exotic flowers and plants on the bodies of several young elder brothers, he still felt strange, but now it seems that they are also lucky.

Although they will not touch the imperial power, they will not be able to reach the highest status they can reach, so they will not be under such pressure, and they will not experience the harem secrets of brothers and sisters... It is also good.

Chen Xiuming just woke up, her arms were weak and she didn't hold the little elder brother. She just asked Madam Su to put the baby on the bed, while listening to Mrs. Chen and Madam Su talking about what happened in the past few days.

Today is the third baptism of the little elder brother, and Kangxi ordered it to be done, but today people understand that Chen Xiuming and the little elder brother are the recipients of the Sacred Heart.

And after that, Nanny Su showed Chen Xiuming two things, a string of Buddha beads and a jade pendant.

"What's so special about this jade pendant?" Chen Xiuming certainly recognized the bracelet, which was always carried by the Queen Mother, but she had never seen this jade pendant before.

"Go back to your mother, this jade pendant was added by the emperor, and the emperor has been hanging around his waist for many years." Su Momo smiled as she spoke, "Brother is a lucky person, and he is very fond of the emperor. .”

"The emperor likes children." Chen Xiuming touched the jade pendant engraved with nine dragons.

When Kangxi and Chen Xiuming talked many times, they all mentioned children, and they also mentioned many times the interesting stories of the grown-up brothers when they were young.

Chen Xiuming listened quietly at this time, and sometimes talked with Kangxi about his expectations for the child's future.

Although this sounds beautiful, it is also because Kangxi's identity and concerns have not been fully communicated, and the talk is relatively superficial.

"Ming'er..." Mrs. Chen could hear a trace of melancholy in Chen Xiuming's tone.

"Mother, it's getting late, you'd better rest first, and it's better to chat with your daughter after recovering your energy tomorrow." Chen Xiuming said with a smile.

"Forget it, I'll come back tomorrow." Mrs. Chen let go, and did not force Chen Xiuming.

After Mrs. Chen retired, only Chen Xiuming, my little elder brother and a few maids were left.

Chen Xiuming touched the little elder brother's face, "It is said that the child grows up fast, and the appearance changes a lot. I haven't seen your appearance two days ago..."

"The growth in the past two days is almost the same as today's, but the skin is flushed and the skin has not yet opened." Madam Su said after hearing Chen Xiuming's words as she brought the soup to replenish her body.

"So, it's not good-looking, I don't know if Long Live Lord has seen it, and if he thinks he's not good-looking." Chen Xiuming shook her head.

"Your Majesty is just joking. The Emperor has seen newborn children. He knows they all look the same, so why would he think they are ugly? And this morning, the Emperor even praised our Elder Brother for being exquisite and cute. How similar is he to Your Majesty?"

"That's good." Chen Xiuming was helped to sit up, drinking the soup that Madam Su served with a spoon.

After Chen Xiuming drank the soup, she stared at the little elder brother for a long time before letting the grandma carry her down.

Seeing Jinlong collapse on the bed instantly because the little elder brother left, Chen Xiuming found it very funny.

Before the golden dragon was shrouded by the cloud of the little elder brother looming, it seemed to get along harmoniously, and it seemed that the little elder brother was lucky to be blessed by it.

When Chen Xiuming was about to sleep, Fanghua came in and said that Kangxi had come.

Chen Xiuming felt that his current appearance was very ugly. He didn't take a bath after giving birth, but just wiped it with a wet towel. It was clean, but Chen Xiuming always felt that his body was very strange.

"Fortunately, I woke up, but it's still a bit late, and I missed the third baptism of my little elder brother." Kangxi said.

When Chen Xiuming gave birth before, no matter how anxious Kangxi was, he could not step into this bedroom, because it broke the rules. Even if Kangxi and the mother doted on Chen Xiuming again, Chen Xiuming would be criticized by the former court and the harem for this. .

Now as soon as Chen Xiuming woke up, Kangxi put aside his political affairs to see that she was just showing favor.

"But it's okay if you didn't wake up, but you have escaped a while. Now take good care of your body, and when our little elder brother is full moon, we will be able to hold the little elder brother to the table." Kangxi took Chen Xiuming's hand and said I patted and patted.

"Is there a big deal to be done at the full moon?" Chen Xiuming asked in surprise.

"Of course, my little elder brother is a lucky one, why can't we make a big deal?" Kangxi said.

In fact, Kangxi has been thinking about this since he knew that the little elder brother was in good health. He is now sixty-two, and his imaginary age is also 63.Being able to let concubines conceive and have children at this age is also a proof of their own health.Use this to deter courtiers, princes, and ambitious Mongolian foreigners...

Chen Xiuming also understood that Kangxi was not simply holding a full moon banquet for the little elder brother.

Although it was not just a banquet, Kangxi also really liked the little elder brother. After all, it has been six months since he was diagnosed with pregnancy.During this period of time, Chen Xiuming tried his best to guide Kangxi to have a father-son relationship with the little elder brother. Maybe it was because he was old and soft-hearted, or maybe it was because Kangxi really loved the house and the black. Now the little elder brother has the highest status in Kangxi's heart among all the sons. .

Kangxi came here without government affairs, so he didn't stay long and left. Before leaving, he also asked Chen Xiuming not to take a bath these days.

At this time, the weather was gradually getting hotter, and Chen Xiuming was fond of cleanliness again. If she couldn't bear it anymore, she asked someone to wait for her to take a bath.Kangxi knew Chen Xiuming's temperament, so he had no choice but to speak directly.

After Kangxi left, Chen Xiuming sighed, originally thinking about taking a bath comfortably, so it seems that in this month, all she can do is wash her body.

Chen Xiuming woke up, and the palaces also sent congratulatory gifts. After counting, Madam Su handed the booklet to Chen Xiuming for review.

When Chen Xiuming woke up, the imperial physician also came to check the pulse and re-prescribed the prescription.Chen Xiuming drank medicine and soup to nourish qi and blood every day, which made her numb.However, these decoctions are also effective. After drinking for more than half a month, Chen Xiuming's body has strength, and he can still hug the little elder brother when he is awake.

When she held a child for the first time, it was still her own child, Chen Xiuming was stiff all over.She didn't know where to put her hands. It was the nanny who helped to support the little elder brother, and after teaching Chen Xiuming carefully, Chen Xiuming finally hugged the little elder brother.

Kangxi happened to come to Yongshou Palace that day, seeing Chen Xiuming's clumsy movements, he laughed, "Isn't the child also good at hugging, the arms are so stiff, be careful not to drop our little elder brother."

Chen Xiuming was already very distressed, but after hearing Kangxi's words, she became annoyed, "Long Live Lord teases his concubines like this, so it's hard for Long Live Lord to hug him."

Kangxi was amused by Chen Xiuming's words, so he simply stopped sitting on the chair, walked over and hugged the little elder brother in his arms, and without saying a word, he even changed another arm for the little elder brother to use as a pillow.

"I have hugged before..." Kangxi paused, "I have hugged many princesses, but they are older than our little elder brother."

After finishing speaking, he gave the little elder brother to the nanny, "Look at the hour, the little elder brother is going to sleep, so hold him down and take good care of him. You will be able to hug him more. After confinement, there is more time to hug , but...you should change your clothes."

Seeing that Kangxi's expression was unnatural, Chen Xiuming suddenly thought of something, looked down at his chest and felt very shy, and after pulling up the quilt, he glared at Kangxi, "It's still like this, so..."

This is Chen Xiuming's recent troubles. It's not enough to make up her body too well. Before, the effect of the decoction was not obvious, but now Chen Xiuming has to change several clothes a day.

Seeing Chen Xiuming's shy look, Kangxi also wanted to tease her, "What's wrong with me? I didn't say anything, I didn't do anything."

Seeing Kangxi's appearance, Chen Xiuming was not annoyed anymore. Kangxi was just waiting to see her get angry, but she refused to let him do what he wanted.

"Long live, my concubine needs to change clothes."

Seeing Chen Xiuming like this, Kangxi stopped teasing her, got up and left the bedroom.Now that Chen Xiuming is not in good health, Kangxi will not make it difficult for Chen Xiuming to change clothes in front of him, or Chen Xiuming will get up and go behind the screen to change.

Seeing that Kangxi had gone out, Chen Xiuming breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Majesty, it's a little bad now. The servant has learned some tricks from the nanny, why don't the servant give me a massage for the Empress?" Su Mama is also thinking of Chen Xiuming.

"That's good." The little elder brother has a separate nanny, so he doesn't need Chen Xiuming to feed him himself, which is a pain for himself. Fortunately, the nanny has a way to relieve the situation.

"Your servant has offended you." Su Momo made a move after pleading guilty.

That's what Chen Xiuming is like. He learns to hold the little brother every day, and teases the little brother when he wakes up.The days are also passing quickly, and it will be the time when the little elder brother is full moon in a blink of an eye.

During this period, the Empress Dowager and all the concubines in the palace also visited Chen Xiuming alone, and they also brought some shoes, clothes, hats, etc. that the younger brother can use.Among them, the most delicate one is the little tiger head hat given by Concubine De.

When Chen Xiuming asked how the hat was made so exquisitely, Concubine De replied, "It's just because the concubines make too many, which makes perfect."

After thinking about it, Chen Xiuming understood that Concubine De had the most children in the palace, and she was also the concubine who had the most children.Concubine De has three sons and three daughters, and two sons and one daughter have grown up. It can be said that she has extremely rich experience in childbearing and raising children.So Concubine De has more experience in making children's clothes than other concubines.

Chen Xiuming and Concubine De asked about their experience in making these children's clothes, shoes and hats. During the exchange, they felt that Concubine De was also a smart person.Not to mention anything else, at least Concubine De's temperament is very similar to that of Chen Xiuming.

After making an appointment with Concubine De to go out of confinement, Chen Xiuming ordered Mother Su to send Concubine De out of Yongshou Palace.

The day before my little elder brother's full moon, Chen Xiuming was the happiest.Thinking about it, Chen Xiuming just wiped his body and hair with a handkerchief soaked in water for a month, and his body was also uncomfortable. Chen Xiuming couldn't stand it anymore and never saw Kangxi again.

Chen Xiuming understood that maybe Kangxi didn't think Chen Xiuming was that good, but Chen Xiuming himself couldn't bear to see Kangxi without taking a bath for a month.So Kangxi could only talk to Chen Xiuming outside the door.

Chen Xiuming hadn't bathed for a month, and the bathing time that night was also very long.

The hot water and fresh flowers, coupled with Mammy's well-balanced massage, made Chen Xiuming want to stay in the water all the time, but Su Momo reminded him not to soak for too long, so Chen Xiuming had to get up.

After Madam Su helped Chen Xiuming clean and change her clothes, she helped Chen Xiuming into the bedroom.

As soon as Chen Xiuming entered the door, he found Kangxi sitting on the bed, and Jin Long was also slumped on the bed with a lazy look. He was stunned for a moment and then walked over, "The concubine greets the emperor..."

"Didn't I say that you don't need to salute, why are you saluting again?" Kangxi helped Chen Xiuming up, and they sat on the bed together.

"The hair is still wet." Kangxi stretched out his hand, and Li Dequan handed Kangxi a handkerchief.

Kangxi held the handkerchief and said, "If you don't turn around, how can I dry your hair?"

Chen Xiuming didn't react, she turned around, and when she came back to her senses, she wanted to turn around, but when she turned her head and scalp, there was a burst of pulling pain, "Hiss, Lord Long Live..."

"It's enough to just sit down, turn your head to do something, and you won't be afraid of pulling your hair." Kangxi hurriedly let go of the blue silk in his hand, and gently pressed the place where Chen Xiuming's hand was touching.

Chen Xiuming had no choice but to sit and dare not move. At this time, there was only the slight sound of a handkerchief rubbing against her hair in the dormitory. Kangxi focused on the hair in his hand, and Chen Xiuming didn't speak any more.

Jin Long looked at the appearance of the two, slowly
