The style of the Queen Mother in Qing Dynasty is different

Qiqige recited with full emotion and enthusiasm: "The spring breeze blows, the drums of war are beating, and the little class for the princesses is starting! You don't have to worry about the princesses' studies anymore!"

This scene was not good at all. The empress dowager and the emperor lowered their heads, digging their toes, and got goosebumps all over their bodies.

After reading this, Qiqige couldn't help laughing. She put away the thick speech and signaled everyone not to be nervous.

"Everyone, I just made a joke, please don't take it to heart."

Everyone applauded awkwardly, expressing their appreciation for Qiqige's humor, although they could not understand Qiqige's humor.

Qiqige put away her laughing expression and became serious again.

"You must be wondering, the princesses already have a place to study and a teacher to teach, why I have to prepare again. The answer is actually very simple, I am very dissatisfied with the previous education method."

She asked everyone present, "Why do people study? To be sensible and to understand the rules? I don't think so! Knowledge is the most precious thing in this world. It is the accumulation of people's experience for thousands of years. Wealth and status can be taken away. But knowledge is always with you. Only learning female virtues and female rings constrains the minds of princesses, and they should have a broader future and see a wider world."

Qiqige finally said to the princesses: "You are still young, and you don't understand many things after I tell you. Life is short, and I hope you can find a career that you can devote your whole life to in your bitter and short life. "

Qiqige's speech was very short, and many concubines who didn't know Qiqige didn't even understand what she was expressing.

It's not that Qiqige is unwilling to talk about her educational philosophy, but that Qiqige dare not express her thoughts blatantly.

The concubines in the palace received the education that men are superior to women, and they are the daughters of the princesses. The princesses are naturally close to hers, and they must believe her words.

If Qiqige said, I want the princesses to be independent women, have a career, and raise their face first, don't think about the emperor's thoughts, the concubines in the palace will not accept it.At that time, there will be a huge conflict between Qiqige and the concubines' education concepts. Who should the princesses listen to?

Some concubines are oppressed in the palace without knowing it. They think that they are the masters in the palace, and the emperor's favor is glory.It's unreasonable to talk to such people. They live a life of supporting their husbands and raising their children, and they take it for granted that princesses should do the same.

Qiqige wants to subtly change the princesses' thinking, so that they can look at life more positively and optimistically.Precious knowledge is important, but more important is a vigorous attitude towards life.

After briefly explaining her educational philosophy, Qiqige took everyone to visit the classrooms of the princesses.

The first is the classroom for children aged three to seven. The decoration inside the room is very cute, and there are many novel and interesting toys.This classroom is only used by the third princess, who is just five years old this year.

The second classroom is for children over the age of seven, and the furnishings in the room are plain and elegant.

This classroom is for the eldest princess and the second princess. The eldest princess is nine years old this year. She is not the emperor's own daughter, but the first daughter of the emperor's younger brother Chang Ning, who was adopted in the palace.The second princess is seven years old this year. She is about the same age as the eldest princess, and usually prefers to play with the eldest princess.

The princess's school is full and there are only three students. When the princesses' companions are selected, it will probably be more lively.

After visiting the classroom, Qiqige took everyone to eat a nutritious meal for the princesses.

"The children stay here at noon to eat lunch and sleep. It's hard work to keep them from running around. Everyone, come and taste the children's lunch. This is the cook I specially transferred from the imperial dining room, you guys See how."

The princesses are spoiled and spoiled, and each of them has the problem of picky eaters.They have been assigned since birth, and there is never a shortage of chicken, duck and fish. Their biological mothers are afraid that they will be wronged, so they will definitely give them good things if they get them.

In response to the picky eaters of the princesses, Qiqige ordered the chef to make the food look better.

The rice is pressed through a mold and turned into a naive little bear.Dishes also pay attention to the presentation of the dishes, and they must be rich in color, so that people will feel appetizing when they see them.

The chef tried his best and practiced for several days, and finally made beautiful and delicious dishes.The emperor, the empress dowager and others are all here today, so he can take this opportunity to show off his skills in front of the emperor, empress dowager and others.

Everyone sat down in the dining room, and the maids served food boxes one by one. Each person had a food box. The dishes were packed in exquisite dishes. The portions were not large but enough to eat.

The princesses have never seen such delicate and lovely meals. They don't need to be coaxed to eat, and they eat sweetly with a spoon.

The emperor nodded in relief when he saw it, "Emperor Niang has a way!"

After dinner, Qiqige took everyone to see the place where the princesses took their lunch break.The beds in the house are made into boats, carts, and big fish.

When the princesses saw such a novelty bed, they couldn't help but want to pounce on it, but the etiquette they learned from childhood required them to salute and thank them in a proper manner, and they couldn't show such impolite behavior in front of their elders.

After all the things that should be visited are finished, Qiqige will carry out the last activity.

She first stated her position, saying that the children would definitely live happily here, and then she stretched out her evil little hand to the emperor.

"Emperor, you haven't given Shu Xiu yet."

The emperor clutched the purse around his waist tightly like a reflex, "Why do you want money again? Queen Mother, you are going too far, we have already paid at the door."

Qiqige retorted: "Do you understand the rules? The one at the door is called Suiziqian, and Shuxiu is the salary that will be paid to the teachers in the future. Do you want the teachers to work for nothing?"

She turned her head and shouted at Niu Hulu: "Concubine Xian, come here, the emperor wants you... eh!"

The emperor quickly covered Qiqige's mouth with his eyes, "Okay! I'll send someone to bring Shuxiu back when I get back, and please don't provoke my relationship with the harem."

After successfully asking for money, Qiqige changed his face again.She smiled and said, "Good boy, I knew you were filial!"

The emperor shook his head with his hands behind his back and sighed: "Mother Huang! I regret letting you teach the princess. If the eldest princess grows up and becomes as stingy and greedy as you, what will I, the emperor Ama, do? No matter how fast I make money, I can't beat them!"

Qiqige comforted: "Don't worry, the children are not filial! In the future, the eldest princess, the eldest brother, and the second elder brother will be more unfilial than you imagined. You get used to it as soon as possible, and it will be fine when you get used to it. "

The emperor: "Okay... I thank the Queen Mother for her comfort."

The princesses' school has been built, and the princesses will formally study here next.

Although there are only three princesses, Qiqige also attaches great importance to their education.She has no experience in running a school, so she has to grope step by step and constantly sum up experience in order to make the school better and bigger.

These three princesses look well-behaved, but each of them has some small tempers and problems.They usually have the most contact with the nanny and nanny. The nurses don't dare to take care of the little problems of the princesses.

This time Qiqige is so determined to discipline the princesses, the first thing is to correct their picky eating habits.

Qiqige is still busy here, and the emperor has one more worrying thing here.

"The children in the palace are all raised by high-ranking concubines. Although the Yi concubine Guo Luoluo can be regarded as the head of the palace and has the funds to raise children, she has a bit of a careless temper. I don't quite care if the children are asked to be raised by her. rest assured."

The emperor chatted with the empress dowager about his concerns, and he hoped that the little brother Guo Luoluo had just given birth to could be brought up by Qi Qige.

The Empress Dowager couldn't help laughing after hearing this, "At the beginning, I persuaded the first emperor to take Naren into the palace and give her to Qiqige to be raised, so that Qiqige won't have anyone to take care of her in the future, and her knees will be miserable."

After hearing this, the emperor smiled and said: "This is a good thing! I want to take my little elder brother to the empress's mother, and I also hope that the Xian'an palace of the empress's empress will not be lonely."

The Empress Dowager shook her head and smiled and said, "You are very wrong if you think so. Your mother-in-law is in charge of the princesses now, so why is she lonely? Even if she doesn't care about the princess, she will not be lonely. The small vegetable garden in the imperial garden is getting better It's getting bigger and bigger, it's all the result of your mother-in-law sneaking up on wasteland. There are many lonely people in the palace, only your mother-in-law can't."

The emperor sighed: "But I can't rest assured that Guo Luoluo's education of the child, she is born with a generous heart, she is young, and she can't take care of herself well."

The Empress Dowager thought for a while and said: "Why don't you give the child to E Wenzhu to raise! Your mother and concubine has been in the palace for many years and is also my grandniece. She is close to Age, and Qiqige is her biological sister. , give the child to E Wenzhu, and the three of them will treat the child well."

The emperor felt that the emperor's grandmother's proposal was very good, and soon issued an order to hand over the newborn little prince to Concubine E Wenzhugong to raise him.
