The style of the Queen Mother in Qing Dynasty is different

Na Ren has a good physique, and it only took an hour from mobilization to giving birth.

It took about two quarters of an hour between Qiqige's arrival at the princess mansion and the birth of the child.In this short period of two quarters of an hour, she lost half of the furnishings in the house.

From the pots and pans to the incense burner bed net, only Qiqige can't think of it, and Naren can't.

In the delivery room, Mrs. Wen and the maids were not nervous at all.

The wives of rich and noble families are all delicate and fleshy, and when Mrs. Wen delivers the baby, she is terrified, for fear that those wives will have a difficult birth.But Princess Naren doesn't have this concern anymore, it must be no problem to be able to ask for things so vigorously.

After giving birth, Na Ren was sweating profusely, and her whole body was sore as if she was about to fall apart.

If you draw her mood at this moment into a pie chart, then 30.00% is the joy of the baby just born, and the remaining 70.00% is regret.

well!She should give birth slowly, and she can ask for more things after giving birth a little longer.

Wen Po took the child out and showed it to the Emperor, Queen Mother and Prince Consort.

"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the queen mother, congratulations to the forehead, the princess gave birth to a healthy little brother."

Qiqige asked: "How is the princess?"

Wen Po smiled and said, "The princess is also safe, but a little tired."

Knowing that Na Ren was safe, Qiqige breathed a sigh of relief.Then she said sourly: "I knew she would be fine, and she still has the strength to ask me for things after having a baby."

The emperor thought to himself, you still have the nerve to complain, didn't Na Ren learn from you to be such a money fan?

He smiled and said: "Mother Huang, you are the richest in the palace, and sister Na Ren is not an outsider, so what's the matter with giving me something? Don't be so stingy!"

He reached out to Mrs. Wen, "Come on, give me a hug for the baby."

Qiqige grabbed the sleeves of the emperor's clothes to prevent him from hugging, "Why are you so indebted! The child's Ama couldn't be hugged, is it your turn?"

She thought to herself, if you say I'm stingy, my eldest grandson won't give you a hug!

Ban Di smiled innocently, "The emperor hugs him first, it is my elder brother's blessing that the emperor hugs him."

Of course the emperor knew what Qiqige was thinking, he said with a helpless smile: "I'd better hug the forehead first! Otherwise, the queen mother will definitely say that you are flattering."

Bandi took the child over with a smile, and the child shook his head in his arms, as if he was very comfortable.

Bandi held the child for a while before handing the child to the emperor. As a subordinate, he was very winking.

After handing over the child to the emperor, Ban Di first apologized, and then went to report everywhere.

First of all, tell the empress dowager and queen in the palace, followed by Prince Jane's mansion.When Na Ren first started, he was not allowed to inform his mother-in-law. Her mother-in-law was too old to be stimulated. Now that Na Ren gave birth safely, Bandi had to report the happy news to his mother-in-law.

The emperor was holding the baby outside, and Qiqige went into the house to visit the mother.

The palace maid briefly scrubbed Na Ren with hot water, and quickly put on clean bedding.Na Ren was lying flat on the bed, her energy was good, but the baby was born, her stomach was empty, and her internal organs seemed to be sinking.

Qiqige was sitting by the bed, Naren pouted and acted like a baby, "Auntie, I'm so tired! My body hurts so much!"

Qiqige sat closer and patted Naren's shoulder tenderly, her heart full of love and compassion.Na Ren stretched out his arms around Qiqige's waist, and put his head on Qiqige's stomach, acting like a spoiled child.

Naren's dependent appearance awakened Qiqige's motherhood, and she gently stroked Naren's back to make her relax.

Naren buried her face in Qiqige's stomach, and said coquettishly, "Auntie, you can't go against the bill for the things you promised to give me just now! You can't miss the gift for your grandson!"

Qiqige: "..."

She pushed Na Ren away and looked at her niece carefully, just like looking at another self in this world.

Qiqige thought: Ah!That's how I look when I'm angry with others!

Na Ren tugged Qiqige's sleeves and shook them, "Auntie, would you like to give my son a golden ten thousand taels?"

Qiqige pulled back her sleeves and stuffed Na Ren's hands into the quilt.

"I'm going to call the imperial doctor, I think you're hysterical."

Naren quickly grabbed Qiqige's hand, "Okay, okay, ten thousand taels of gold is a little too much, is the head office of one hundred taels of gold okay?"

Qiqige squinted at her, "What the hell are you thinking! The gold collars I gave the prince when he was born were all hollow, what's wrong, you still want to surpass the prince?"

Na Ren was stupefied, "Oh! Of course my elder brother would not dare to surpass the crown prince. Aunt Congratulations, who was born, will give it to you! But... you are too stingy! The collar for the crown prince is actually hollow! If you give The crown prince has a thousand taels of gold, won’t you be able to reward me with a hundred taels of gold?”

Qiqige: Do you think I look like two hundred and five?One hundred taels of gold, one thousand taels of gold, even one tael of gold!

Na Ren no longer fretted over the birth gift, she wanted to see the child, "Just now, Wen Po gave me a look and took the child away, Empress, please help me bring the child here!"

Qiqige went outside the delivery room and carried the baby from the emperor's arms.

The emperor hasn't hugged enough yet, this child's calves and hands are very strong, the emperor likes such a strong child.

"Emperor Niang, give me a hug for a while."

Qiqige drove him away like a chicken, "Go, go, go back to the palace and hug your own son!"

emperor:"……"

Carrying the child into the house, Na Ren struggled to get up, "Show me quickly, I'll see who the child looks like."

Qiqige put the child beside Na Ren, and Na Ren looked sideways at the child carefully.

"My son is so good-looking, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, just like me. Small cherry mouth, high nose, also like me."

Qiqige looked down at the baby sleeping with eyes closed on the bed, with a flat nose, bald head, bald eyebrows, and red and wrinkled body. How did Na Ren see that the child looked like her?

Na Ren held the child's little hand, with a gentle smile on his face, full of maternal brilliance.

"Hey, when I go back to Beijing, I'll just bring my boss back with me, so our family will be reunited."

Qiqige said: "It's not easy? You'll go back to Horqin when you're out of confinement. You've been in the capital for half a year, so it's time to go back. You're out of confinement, and it's just a good time for autumn. Hurrying is the most comfortable way, so let's go!"

Qiqige: I'm really fed up with your unfilial daughter!

Of course, Naren saw Qiqige's impatience, she would be the most annoying thing for her aunt, how could she make Qiqige fulfill her wish?

She said: "My aunt is tired of me again, anyway, I always want to go back to Horqin. The forehead is the prince, and Horqin has a lot of things to deal with! When I leave, don't miss my aunt too much. Leave my son with you."

Na Ren patted her newborn son, "You bring him up to comfort the pain of lovesickness."

Qiqige's eyes darkened, I just taught you to be the second Qiqige to make trouble for me, now you send another little one, I'm afraid I will be pissed off by you two.

"Don't mind, don't keep it! It's better to bring the child by yourself. I don't love you, so you don't have to keep him."

Qiqige's terrified appearance pleased Na Ren, and Na Ren smiled on the pillow, her belly ached from laughing.

After laughing enough, Na Ren said seriously: "Auntie, I don't want to joke with you, I do have the idea of ​​leaving the child in the capital."

Qiqige touched her forehead, "Good boy, you lie down first. I'll call the imperial doctor to come in and treat your hysteria."

"I don't have hysteria!"

Qiqige swears, "Fart, why do you want to leave the child in the capital if you don't have hysteria? He was just born, thank you for being willing!"

Naren explained: "I'm also thinking about the child! My eldest son will inherit the throne of the prince in the future, what about the child? When the forehead was here, he was the son of the prince, and his life was rich and worry-free. , Does he rely on his brother to live? I have to arrange a way out for him. "

Although Na Ren seemed a little cruel to keep the child in the capital, but in the long run, it was indeed for the child's benefit.

The emperor was very fond of the Tongjia family, and even more highly regarded the Borzigit family, but the Borzigit family was far away in Mongolia, and it was not convenient for the emperor to reuse them.

If the child is left in the capital, even if it is not raised by Qiqige's side, the emperor will love the child very much for the sake of Naren and Borzigit.When the child grows up, let him stay in the capital to marry a wife and have children, and the emperor will give him an official position no matter what.If this child is capable and promising, the future is limitless.

Naren said: "I have seen it in the grasslands these years. When the children are not separated from their parents, the relationship is called a close relationship. When they are married and separated, look at it, brothers and sisters are not as good as you. Friends are getting close! My eldest son looks fine now, who knows what will happen in the future? My youngest son should not count on his parents and brothers. He should stay in the capital to study hard and be an official. In the future, I will also be a first-rank member!"

Qiqige felt that Na Ren was a bit like a chicken baby, and Na Ren made a career plan for the child as soon as he was born.

Qiqige covered Na Ren with a quilt, "I advise you to sit on the confinement with peace of mind, take care of your body early and take the child back to Horqin, don't mess with such nonsense. How can the child leave the mother? Think about it when you entered the palace. How old are you? You can go back to Prince Jane’s mansion every month to visit relatives! The fifth elder brother is raised by my side, and I have never stopped Yibi from going to Xian’an Palace to look after the child. You leave the child in the capital, three to five years Can't see it, don't you want to?"

Na Ren touched the child's little face. Indeed, this was the child she gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy, and she was reluctant to let it go.Even if she leaves the child with her most trusted aunt, she is reluctant.

Qiqige said again: "Quickly put away those ridiculous thoughts! Let the child be a first-rank official... Is it so easy for you to be a first-rank official? To be a first-rank official, you must be educated and able to read. Dragon begets dragon and phoenix begets phoenix, which one is better for studying, you or Bandi, if neither of you can do it, your son will do it?"

Naren smiled wryly, "Auntie is right. Ban Di and I don't like reading, and my eldest is not very enlightened. Speaking of which, they are not as good as me! I can recite a few lines of poetry at least."

She performed it for Qiqige on the spot, "The north wind blows the ground and the white grass folds, curling three hairs on my house. Auntie, look, I haven't studied for so many years, and the foundation of the year has not been thrown away!"

Naren tilted her head proudly, as if waiting for Qiqige's compliment.

Qiqige boasted a few words as she wished, "Well, not bad! With your literary talent, it's better to forget your basics."

You also curled three hairs on my house, why don't you say three hairs on my head?Your poetry is really bald!

Na Ren also felt that she had a brilliant literary talent, and she also felt that her mind became smarter after giving birth.

She thought, leaving the child in the capital is hard for the child, and it is indeed hard work for him to study and progress. In this case, it is better to let the son eat soft food!

Naren asked Qiqige, "Auntie, you see my son is so handsome, why don't you let him be your son-in-law too! Which princess in the palace do you think is suitable? It can be three or five years older than my son, I don't think so." pick."

Qiqige: Sorry, I choose!My princess is going to fight for her career for the rest of her life, so she can't just marry casually.

Naren also worked hard to make her son prosperous and wealthy all her life. She said: "I can let my son take men's morality classes since he was a child, and make sure he is obedient and obedient!"

Qiqige grabbed the quilt and pulled it to the corner of Naren's mouth.

"You must be tired after giving birth, go to sleep!"

I'm going to ask the doctor to cure your madness.

Na Ren was indeed a bit tired. When she spoke, she was more energetic, but she didn't feel tired. When Qi Qige mentioned the word 'tired', Na Ren felt as if she had caught a drowsy bug, and felt that she couldn't open her eyes.

So exhausted, Naren insisted on saying to Qiqige: "Auntie, don't forget your grandson, you go back to see which princess is suitable, remember to tell me!"

Qiqige left the delivery room and ordered the maids to take care of the princess.

She said to the emperor: "Let's go back to the palace!"

The emperor smiled and said: "Na Ren has just given birth, it's okay for you to stay in the princess mansion for a few days, why don't you spend more time with her!"

The emperor is kind, Naren was raised by Qiqige, just like Qiqige's own daughter.

For the emperor's kindness, Qiqige appreciated the kindness, "Oh, let's go back to the palace!"

Living in Na Ren's Princess Mansion is prone to early menopause.

As soon as Qiqige left the main courtyard, she bumped into Naren's mother-in-law, her eldest sister, Baoyin.

Baoyin saluted the emperor and Qiqige. After the salute, she asked anxiously, "How is Na Ren?"

Qi Qige said: "Na Ren is fine, mother and child are safe, don't worry, eldest sister."

Baoyin nodded. Although the messenger had already said that the mother and child were safe, a mother could not rest assured that she did not see her child.

Baoyin complained to Qiqige: "This child is too big, and she didn't tell me such a big thing about having a baby. It's the same when returning to Beijing. Before she left, she sent a letter saying that she was pregnant and wanted to return to the capital." Childbirth. I disagreed at the time, but she returned to Beijing without even saying hello. How dare you say this child! The road is bumpy, and if something happens, what will you do in the wilderness?"

Qiqige said: "She wrote you a letter anyway! She went back to the capital without telling me!"

Baoyin sighed: "This child!"

Seeing that Qiqige and the emperor seemed to be returning to the palace, she couldn't help asking: "The emperor and the empress dowager rarely come here, why are they going back to the palace? But the princess and the concubine didn't entertain well?"

Qiqige hurriedly said: "No, I am in a hurry to leave!"

She leaned over to her sister and whispered, "I can't stay here anymore. Your daughter's idea is too novel, and I can't accept it."

After speaking, she waved to her sister and went back to the palace with the emperor.

Na Ren never forgot to ask for things when she gave birth. In order to let her son eat a mouthful of hot soft rice, she could teach him male virtue.

Qiqige refused to obey anyone in her life, so she only obeyed Naren. This woman is really daring and ruthless.

Back in the palace, Qiqige ordered people to pack up all the things Naren wanted.Take out the gold collar and bracelet that you have prepared for the baby and send them to the princess mansion together.

In her heart, Qiqige didn't want Naren's child, Princess Shang, because of the close blood relationship, Qiqige couldn't accept it.The second is because Qiqige hopes that the princesses can choose their own marriages.

In this era, in the royal family, regardless of men and women, their marriages cannot be decided by themselves.Marriage in the royal family should consider interests, not feelings.

Even if the emperor is the son of heaven, his marriage cannot be decided by himself.

Qiqige has a wish, she hopes that the princesses can go out to work in the future.They go out to see the world and people, and when they meet someone they like, they marry him.Maybe they didn't choose a lover, so make peace.

In any case, they have experienced the sweetness of love, even if the ending is bitter, it is their choice anyway.

Qiqige knew that what she thought was a bit idealized, but who can say for sure what will happen in the future?

Qiqige had just considered the marriage of the princesses, and within a few days, the emperor came to her because of the eldest princess's marriage.

"Emperor Niang, what rules do you have for the princesses?"

Qiqige replied: "I can have any regulations, of course I want them to study hard."

The emperor sighed: "The eldest princess is 11 years old this year, and she will be married in two or three years. I came here to remind the empress, if you want the eldest princess to make a career, You have to hurry."

"But...but she's only 11 years old, she's so young, she hasn't finished reading yet, what can she do?"

The emperor was also helpless, "Galdan is very ambitious. I have been dealing with the affairs of the San Francisco these years, and I have no time to deal with them. Although the Qing Dynasty and Galdan are planning to open trade and commerce, I dare not open up too much. In the future One day, the Qing Dynasty will go to war with Galdan, so now I have to win over the various Mongolian tribes and make them work for me."

Qiqige was upset, "In the final analysis, you still want the princesses to get married."

The emperor sighed: "My mother's words hurt my heart too much. They are all my daughters. Don't I feel distressed? I have raised princesses for so many years, let alone my flesh and blood, even if they are kittens. I can't bear the dog either!"

Qiqige apologized to the emperor, "I was the one who said something out of choice, I'm sorry."

The emperor clenched his fists tightly, rubbing the knuckles of his index finger with his thumb.

"Princess Naren in Horqin is not enough. It is better to marry another princess. The Mongolian prince of Khalkha and the Bahrain department have to win over. Empress, if you want the princesses to make a career , I have to speed up. I can keep them until they are 20 years old at most, no more."

Qiqige understands what the emperor means, princesses are no better than elder brothers, elder brothers can get married first, and then go to the court to show their skills.

Brothers start a family first, and then start a career. There is no conflict between family and career.Princesses can't, they have to start a career first and then a family.

Once the princesses are married, even if they don't have to marry to Mongolia, their husband's family will not allow them to go out to show their faces.

It would be different if the princesses made achievements. Those who are capable are worthy of respect everywhere.

The emperor set a deadline for Qiqige, and he could keep the princess until she was 20 years old.

20 years old is the emperor's limit. In this era, girls have to marry at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and they are old girls at the age of 20.Although the emperor's daughter is not worried about marrying, but if she is over 20 years old, there will be rumors in the court and harem.

Qiqige knew that the emperor could keep the princesses until they were 20 years old, but they had to make achievements before that.

20 years old is the age for a princess to get married. Generally, she has to get engaged before she gets married, leaving two years in between to prepare for the bride price and wedding ceremony.

Qiqige took a deep breath, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do my best!"

The emperor knows that it is not easy to accomplish this task, how many young talents are there in the world?At the age of 80 or 16, there are many people who are still taking the exam for talent.He was able to capture Oboi at the age of [-], thanks to the advice of the Empress Dowager behind him, it may not be what he looks like on his own!

The world is quite prejudiced against women, especially the eldest princess is not talented, what achievements can she make?

Qiqige smiled and said: "Everything is difficult at the beginning. When I train the eldest princess and the second princess, the other princesses don't have to be in such a hurry."

The emperor thought to himself, relying on the eldest princess' talent, the empress' mother might be sad.

After chatting with the emperor, Qiqige suddenly felt that time was running out.

She adjusted the school's schedule, shortened the courses for cultivating sentiments such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and increased the learning time of arithmetic and Western science.

She pulled out the eldest princess and gave her a small treatment alone.

This small step is not for the teacher to give one-on-one tutoring to the eldest princess, but to tap the talents and advantages of the eldest princess.

The eldest princess doesn't know how to read, so Qiqige doesn't force it.Moreover, under the high-pressure guidance of Niu Hulu and Concubine Tong, the eldest princess has learned everything she should learn and memorized what she should memorize. In fact, she is more educated than Qi Qige.

Now Qiqige focuses on exploring her advantages and characteristics to see what kind of work she is suitable for.

If she cannot learn the ways of Confucius and Mencius, she may be good at Western learning; if she cannot learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, she may be good at agriculture;

After Qiqige's various tests, the princess' career direction has also become clear.

She is not suitable for anything!

Qiqige has seen a child who is biased, but she has never seen a child who is partial to Keke!You have to have at least one of them!

The emperor likes western learning, he has a room full of calculation tools.Now it is the famous missionary Nan Huairen who teaches the princes and daughters Western learning.

The eldest princess has been studying for so long, and she can't understand all kinds of calculation tools, so she can basically say goodbye to science.

Speaking of agriculture, the eldest princess has read all kinds of agricultural books, and Qiqige even took her to farm.The eldest princess is a little afraid of bugs, but she knows that Qiqige took her to farm for her own good, so she suppressed her fear and went to grow vegetables.

The child is a good child, and this bravery is worthy of praise, but within three days, she killed all the vegetables that Kiki Gexin worked so hard to grow.Obviously, the amount of watering and various operations are the same as Qiqige's, but the vegetables she has served are all dead.

What else can Qiqige say besides boasting about being awesome?

Finally, there is the butler director, and the eldest princess can get a passing grade on the butler director.But what is this passing grade good for?The steward director is well done, and can only be used after marriage.

Qiqige wanted to give up a little bit, or pin her hopes on the second princess!

She wanted to give up, but Qiqige still went to find the queen.

She wanted the queen to split up the palace affairs, take out the part of the Xian'an palace and the concubine, and hand over this part of the palace affairs to the princesses for practice.She hoped that the Eldest Princess could be trained. It was impossible to enter the House of Internal Affairs. The House of Internal Affairs was handed over to the emperor's most trusted clan. But maybe Qiqige could think of a job suitable for a housekeeper in the future.

When the queen learned of Qiqige's intentions, she blew a wave of rainbow farts first.

"The empress is so kind, she really broke her heart for the princess. As a concubine, it is the concubine's duty to teach the prince and princess. The empress loves me so much, she has worked hard for me all these years, I can't be lazy all the time." Queen She smiled and said, "Emperor Niang, why don't I divide the palace affairs into several parts, let the princesses take care of one part alone, give them practice, and let the concubines relax."

Distributing the palace affairs to the princesses to practice their hands, the queen is not afraid that the children will seize power, and she can sell it to the queen mother, which can kill two birds with one stone.

The queen was kind, but Qiqige couldn't accept it.

"That's all for the eldest princess. When the other princesses are in power, they will inevitably want to benefit their biological mother. This is human nature. It is not easy for you to manage the harem. The princesses are young. If they are deceived by others, it is not good to make excuses .”

Queen creepy, yeah!In case someone took advantage of the loophole and caused trouble, the princesses would be scolded, and in the end, she, the queen, would be responsible.She wanted to make it easier for the Queen Mother and the princesses, but she still thought about it simply.It's okay for the princesses to be greedy for money on the pretext of managing the palace affairs, but it's not good for those high-minded concubines to place people at will.

The queen quickly thanked, "Thank you, Queen Mother, for thinking about me. I'll go back and sort out the account books."

The queen quickly sorted out the account books, Qiqige relieved the schoolwork of the eldest princess and the second princess, and asked them to come to Xian'an Palace every morning to handle palace affairs.

The queen patiently taught her for a while, and performed the loving gesture of a aunt.

In handling palace affairs, the eldest princess performed mediocrely, while the second princess performed much better.

She is good at observation and decisive in doing things. Not long after she took office, all the court ladies and eunuchs who came into contact with her were afraid of her.

The imperial palace is huge, and the palace affairs are complicated. Although the princesses just took over the palace affairs related to the concubine, these things are troublesome enough.

Concubines had to eat and drink Lazard when they lived in the palace, and the maids and eunuchs who served them also had to eat and drink Lazard.

The monthly silver, the clothes and fabrics for changing seasons, the jewelry to wear, the rouge and gouache on the face, the objects in the palace, a piece of paper, a thread, all kinds of things need to be taken care of by the princesses.

Furthermore, the toffees are the elders, and the princesses have to be careful not to offend when they are housekeepers.

Dividing things is a trivial matter, Qiqige loves the princess, everyone in the palace knows it, and the concubines respect Qiqige very much, so even if the princesses are negligent, the toffees will not care.

The most difficult thing is to deal with the servants of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The people of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are all old and cunning. They are greedy for a little bit, and the princesses have suffered a lot.

The second princess was careful, she could remember Qiqige's behavior rules when she was very young, and when she arrived at the House of Internal Affairs, she naturally noticed the tricks of the House of Internal Affairs.

She wants to deal with the moths in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but this is not something she can decide.
