The style of the Queen Mother in Qing Dynasty is different

I don't know when it started, the prince couldn't sleep all the time. He either kept his eyes open until dawn, or got himself drunk until he became unconscious and passed out.

Another night of drinking to sleep, this time drinking more than ever.

The prince was very desperate, he felt that the emperor and queen had completely abandoned him, and he was exiled...

In the early morning of the next day, the waiter came and called the prince to get up.

The prince closed his eyes and grabbed the pillow and threw it out, "Go away! Don't bother me!"

The room was quiet for a while, the prince turned over, grabbed the corner quilt and used it as a pillow under his head.

At this time, the waiter spoke, "Prince, the queen mother summoned you, you should get up, otherwise the queen mother will be angry."

The prince suddenly stood up, "Shut up, you son of a bitch! Don't use the Queen Mother to oppress me!"

The prince's eyes were red, his face was ferocious, and he looked extremely frightening.The waiters were so frightened that they trembled and did not dare to press any more.

The hangover caused the prince to have a splitting headache. He sat on the bed for a while before getting down to dress and freshen up.

Breakfast has been set, and all kinds of porridge and side dishes are set on the table.The prince turned around and went out after only one glance. He felt sick to his stomach and felt sick when he saw this.

Qiqige has already finished her breakfast and has been waiting for the prince for a long time.

The prince entered the door to salute and say hello, he asked Qiqige, "Why did the imperial grandmother ask me to come here?"

Qiqige rubbed her nose, a little embarrassed.

"Well... spring is here, and it's time for farming. You see, our manor is so big, it's a pity that a large area of ​​land is empty. You are idle, go to farm!"

The prince laughed out loud, as if he heard a very funny joke, "Me? I'm going to farm? My majestic prince, you let me go to farm!"

Qiqige lifted the tablecloth and pulled out a hoe from under the table.

"There is also a plow, which is a bit big and inconvenient to carry. I put it outside. The tools are all ready, and you can start working."

The prince was so angry that his face was livid, he glared fiercely at Qiqige, and Qiqige looked at him silently.Finally, the prince snatched the hoe in a fit of anger, turned around and strode away from the yard.

Qiqige lowered her head and sighed, "Aruna, get ready, we will accompany the prince."

On the empty land outside the courtyard, the prince was digging frantically with a hoe, and soon a half-meter-deep hole was dug out in front of him.

Qiqige sat next to him with a small bench, "This is not acceptable! You are growing vegetables, not trees. If you dig such a deep hole, the seeds will not germinate."

The prince stared at Qiqige without speaking, like a child who has been wronged and doesn't know how to vent.

Qiqige raised her chin and asked the prince to look into the distance, "There is a plow over there, which can plow the ground much faster than digging with a hoe."

The prince threw down the hoe and sneered, plowing the field just plowing the field, he didn't believe it, the imperial grandmother would let him do farm work all the time!

Qiqige chose another guard to help the prince hold the plow, and the prince walked in front and pulled forward like an old cow with a rope on his back.

This work is really not done by humans. The rope is strangled into the flesh, and it hurts from repeated pulling.The plow seemed to be stuck in the soil, and it took several tugs to move it.

The prince turned around and scolded the guard, "Have you not eaten? Push hard!"

The guards were frightened and increased their strength, but it didn't have much effect.

The prince turned back and continued to pull the plow. In spring, the ground was soft. He stepped on the hem of his clothes accidentally, and fell headlong into the soil.

The guard quickly threw the plow to help the prince, but the prince sat on the ground and refused to get up.

Qiqige walked over and sighed, "Stop it first!"

The guard quietly retreated, the prince lowered his head and said sullenly: "Grandmother, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have lost my temper with you yesterday."

He is always like this now, sometimes happy, sometimes frustrated, sometimes irritable, he can't control his emotions.

"It's okay, I know you feel uncomfortable."

The servants brought the food and placed a small square table in front of the prince.

Qiqige: "I heard that you haven't had breakfast yet, and an empty stomach is not good for your health. Eat something quickly!"

After a fuss, the crown prince was also hungry, so he wiped his hands, picked up chopsticks and ate.

After eating, the prince wiped his mouth, stood up and straightened his clothes, "Grandmother, let's go back!"

Qiqige: "No, we won't go back, you continue to plow the field, I just sent someone to pick up the bunt clothes, you will not fall easily after changing clothes."

The prince couldn't believe it, "I still want to do this?"

Didn't I admit my mistake?Why do you want me to do farm work?

Qiqige said: "Doing farm work is good for you!" Although I don't know if it is useful.

This time the prince didn't argue with Qiqige anymore, he didn't stare at Qiqige anymore, he pretended he couldn't see Qiqige, picked up the plow and went to plow the field far away from Qiqige.

Qiqige is like a black-hearted landlord, watching the prince work.The lunch meal was also delivered to the field, and the prince wanted to go back to take a nap, but Qi Qige ruthlessly refused.She allocated a piece of land for the prince and asked that it must be finished before dark, otherwise there would be no food for the night.

Under such high-intensity labor, the prince fell asleep after dinner at night without even having a dream.

The prince gradually got used to this kind of life. Although he was very tired every day, he felt very relaxed after being able to fall asleep soundly after being tired.

The ground has been plowed, and the seed has been sown into the ground, waiting to germinate.

With less farm work, Qiqige arranged some recreational activities for the prince, such as going up the mountain to hunt wild rabbits together, or picking wicker to weave baskets, or flying kites in spring, and watching the stars in the yard before going to bed at night.

Life in the capital became far away, but someone soon broke the tranquility.

In the middle of the night, the prince was immersed in sleep, when there was a knock on the door suddenly.

Maybe it was because he got used to the relaxed life, and the prince was not very vigilant, so it took him a while to wake up.

The prince held the dagger under the pillow, "Who!"

"His Royal Highness, you are a slave!"

The prince heard that it was the voice of his inner circle and quickly opened the door to let him in.

"I deliberately left you in the capital, why did you come here?"

The confidant knelt on the ground and cried: "His Royal Highness, you did not send back a single word after you left the capital. This servant is in a panic! There is no other way, this servant can only ask for leave and sneak here to look for you. This manor is heavily guarded, and this servant can only hide Sneaking in under the firewood!"

The prince asked him to get up, "How is the capital now?"

The man said excitedly: "Your Highness, the situation in the capital is very bad! You haven't returned to the capital for a long time, and the elder brother is ready to move. Although the emperor reprimanded the elder brother, the eighth elder brother appeared again. A minister said that you are seriously ill It's hard to heal, please ask the emperor to appoint another prince. The eighth elder brother has the most supporters, even Niu Hulu and Tong Jia's support the eighth elder brother!"

The prince sneered, "Hmph, what a eighth brother!"

"Prince, please go back to the capital with your servant! You must go back, we can't sit still!"

The prince was a little hesitant, and his confidants thought that the prince would not dare to go back to Beijing privately.

He quickly persuaded: "Prince, if you break it, you will break it! The emperor kept you here just to imprison you! If you don't go back, the crown prince will have to be replaced!"

At this time, the flames suddenly lit up outside, and Qiqige walked in wearing a cloak.

"It's amazing!" Qiqige applauded and praised, "I'm surrounded by iron barrels, and you can sneak in!"

Qiqige asked someone to take him down, "Check carefully, he definitely didn't come alone, there must be accomplices."

The crowd dragged the confidant down, Qiqige tightened her cloak, and sat at the table talking with the prince.

"How are you feeling lately?"

The prince bowed his head and replied: "Thanks to you, my grandson feels much better, eats more, and sleeps well."

Qiqige sighed: "The emperor, the empress, and the princess, they are all worried about you. Because you drink too much and your mood is capricious. They persuade you, but you refuse to listen. They say you have changed, but I think you are sick You want to be that noble and elegant prince again, but unfortunately you can't."

The prince's fingers rested on the table, rubbing the tablecloth. "Sorry for worrying you."

"I know it's hard to be a prince, maybe... harder than being an emperor. Being an emperor can be your own decision, but a prince has to look at the emperor's face, the minister's face, and beware of other people's schemes. Your confidants may not be Sincerely for you, they took risks to save you, but they actually wanted to keep their own glory and wealth."

The prince nodded vigorously, "I understand that once the emperor and the courtiers, they put the treasure on me, of course they don't want me to fail."

"The next step depends on your choice. If you still want to go back to that den of power and fight to the death, I won't stop you. If you want to stay, I don't object. As far as I am concerned, I hope you stay. "

Qiqige felt that the prince hadn't fully recovered yet, he just left that environment and got a temporary relaxation, and when he returned to the capital, he would definitely return to his old self.

After saying these words, Qiqige went back to sleep, and the prince sat there, thinking about it all night.

The next day, after the prince washed up, he went to inspect the field as usual to see where weeding and fertilization were needed.

From a distance, he saw his confidant and several other people were weeding. They were handcuffed with chains on their wrists and ankles, looking extremely pitiful.

The prince came closer, and when those people saw the prince, they all rushed over like flies seeing meat.

The guards rudely pushed them back, "You are so brave. You spy on the Queen Mother's residence. The Queen Mother kindly spared your life, but you still dare to act presumptuously! Stay away from the Prince, and offend the nobleman. You will feel better!"

"His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness, save us!"

"Prince, slaves have a position and are considered officials of the court. They let us plant the land and pour manure, how can we be insulted like this!"

The prince glanced at them, and skillfully picked up the hoe to weed.

This time they dare not speak, even the prince is farming, are they more noble than the prince?

The prince just went about his own business, his confidants bent down to pull out a blade of grass, then looked up at the prince resentfully, their faces flushed from the sun.

The prince is like a treasure placed in a glass window, they can see it but not touch it.

The prince turned his back and snickered, it wasn't that he didn't have sympathy, but it was really funny to see their miserable appearance.He knew that these few people were not good enemies, and they had done bad things in the name of the prince before, and now it is considered that evil will be rewarded with evil.

After a busy day, the prince's confidant was tired and fell down.They were close to the prince, but they didn't say a word all day.

At night, the gates of the manor were wide open, and several carriages entered the manor.

Qiqige called the prince and the fifth princess to pick them up together.

The guards lifted the curtain of the carriage, and the elder brother and the eighth elder brother got out of the carriage with a stern face, both looking dejected.

The guard handed Qiqige a letter, and the emperor said in the letter that the elder brother and the eighth elder brother were fighting for power in Beijing, and the people in the government and the opposition were fluctuating.The ministers formed cliques and chose the prince they liked one after another.Those ministers who don't rely on the prince have a hard time, and if they don't rely on them, they will be excluded.

The emperor couldn't bear it anymore, and handed over the elder brother and the eighth elder brother to Qiqige for disposal.The leader is gone, it depends on who the ministers support.

Qiqige was also very happy to see the elder brother and the eighth elder brother. One sheep was also raised, and two sheep were also herded, no difference.

She told the prince to use the spirit of "old staff" to help each other and lead the newcomers well.

The prince smiled sinisterly, "Don't worry, Grandmother, I will treat the two brothers well!"
