The Struggle History of the Fourteenth Qing Dynasty

Update time: 21-06-2507 07:[-]

However, Xiao Shisi has been a little depressed recently. He is already five years old, and he will be six years old next year.

Originally, Xiao Shisan should have gone long ago, but Xiao Shisan said that he would go with Xiao Shisan. The two brothers have a good relationship, and Kangxi knew it, so he agreed to Xiaosan's request.

Anyway, Xiao Shisi's birthday is big, and it's the ninth day of the first lunar month, so it's not so short of time.

It's easier for Concubine De to follow. Everything she prepares is made in duplicate, and she is never biased.

The two of them have already settled on the elder brother's place.

"Age House" is not the name of a certain building, but a common name for the permanent residence of the princes of the Qing Palace. There are mainly "South Three Houses", "Gandong Five Houses", and "Ganxi Five Houses".At the beginning of the birth of the prince, he usually lived in the palace area where his biological mother lived.When they are nearly six years old, when they are about to enter school, they will move into the "elder brother's house" to live.

Generally speaking, after the prince gets married and ennobled, he will open the mansion and move out of the elder brother's house, but there are also some who still stay in the "elder brother's house" after getting married and ennobled.

Gandong Wu is located to the east of Qianqing Palace and to the north of Qianying Gate.In fact, there are five south-facing courtyards, which are called "Dongtou", "Donger", "Dongsuo", "Dongsi", "Dongwusuo" from west to east.

"Dongtousuo" used to be the eldest brother's residence, but now that the eldest brother has opened a mansion and got married, it is vacant.

"Dong Er Suo" is the residence of the third elder brother; "Dong San Suo" is the residence of the fourth elder brother, Yinzhen.

The residence of the fifth elder brother of the "East Fourth Institute"; the residence of the seventh elder brother of the "East Fifth Institute".

Ganxi Wusuo is located in the west of Qianqing Palace and north of Baizi Gate.

Like the Qiandong No. [-] Institute, it is also called "Head Institute", "Second Institute", etc. There are five in total.

According to the rules, the eighth elder brother lived in the "Xitou house", the ninth elder brother lived in the "Xi [-]nd house", and the tenth elder brother lived in the "West [-]rd house".

It's no wonder that the three of them have a good relationship, and the eighth elder brother lives in the head of the No. [-] Ganxi Institute.

Moreover, his birth mother's status is low, and his adoptive mother is the elder brother's birth mother, Concubine Hui.

The eleventh elder brother lived in the "Xisi No. [-] Institute", but the eleventh elder brother was not in good health, and the concubine Yi went to the West Fourth Institute basically every day.

Elder Brother Twelve lives in the "West Five".

When it was Xiao Shisan and Xiao Shishi's turn, they could only go to Nansan No. [-] Institute.

The South Sansuo is located in the east and slightly north of Chaowenhua Hall outside the Forbidden City, also known as Xiefang Hall, which was expanded on the site of Xiefang Hall in Ming Dynasty.

Because Kangxi has quite a few sons, and now Xiao San and Xiao Shi Fourteen are going to live in the South Third House, where there are a total of three Elder Brother Houses.

In addition, in the Changchun Garden, the Old Summer Palace, the Summer Resort and other royal gardens, there are also the residences of the princes and brothers, but they are not the places where the princes and brothers usually live.

It’s a place to stay for summer vacation, when you’re out and about.

The third South Institute was going to be renovated anyway, and Concubine De directly renovated all of the Third South Institute. She reported this matter to Kangxi: "The two older brothers' institutes are going to be repaired anyway, so it's better to repair them together. In the future If the prince moves there, he only needs to clean it up, instead of renovating it, what do you think?"

"Then let's renovate together, little elder brother of the Hershey family... Sigh!" Kangxi sighed.

Elder Brother and Princess, who were born in the palace for the past two years, didn't stand still.

Little Fourteen is about to move to the palace, and he is still the youngest elder brother in the palace.

The Hesheli family is a concubine, but she also has an identity, she is the younger sister of the Empress Yuan and the aunt of the prince.

Ten years in the palace, hard work, just gave birth to a little elder brother for Kangxi, the child will not continue to rank before the first birthday, this child is the child that concubine Hesheli has been looking forward to for ten years, but the child is born weak and sick , The nursing mother drinks medicine every day, and then feeds the child.

Even with this kind of support, the child is still dying, and the imperial doctor said that he might not be able to grow up.

The child is six months old, not as good as three months old, and has just learned to turn over.

"Huang Ama, Huang Ama!" Little Fourteen rushed in: "Huang Ama!"

"Little Fourteen, don't be unruly." Concubine De felt a headache when she saw this little son. This child is too naughty, so mischievous that it makes people speechless, and he is not the same age as the emperor. There is a kind of family affection in the intimacy, But how can there be family affection in the palace?

"It's okay." The sons who were born before the head have grown up, and they are not close enough to Kangxi, and they are more than in awe. On the contrary, the younger sons are lively and cute, especially the youngest Xiaoshisi. The relationship is very close.

Therefore, Kangxi would rather indulge his younger son's innocence and liveliness, rather than allow his sons to respect him and regard him as an emperor instead of an Ama.

"Huang Ama, are you going to the garden? Little Fourteen also wants to go, and brother Thirteen, let's go together!" Taking advantage of his young age, Little Fourteen rolled around in Kangxi's arms and acted like a baby: "Are you okay? And my mother."

"How do you know Huang Ama is going to the garden?" Kangxi stroked his youngest son's soft braid, and liked his closeness very much.

"I heard from my aunts that they were packing up. They said that it was the luggage that Erniang had prepared for my brother. I guessed it. I haven't been to the garden yet. I heard that it's very fun in the summer. Cool off." Little Fourteen shook Kangxi's arm, "There's still lake water, so I can get on a boat! What kind of boat is this? I've never been on a boat before."

"Well, what about this, you can work hard and see if your fourth brother will take you there?" Kangxi hugged his younger son for a while, but he didn't agree to his request. He looked at his younger son with great interest. , See if he can do something, and drive to Changchun Garden.

Xiao Shisi thought for a while: "The minister can find a way by himself!"

Concubine De smiled and flicked her handkerchief: "Aren't you going to grind your fourth brother?"

"Hehehe..." Little Fourteen suddenly jumped down into Kangxi's arms: "My son is going, brother Thirteen is going too, shall we go together?"

"Of course." Kangxi could see that the two children played well together: "Ninth and tenth, you and your thirteenth brother have been together since birth, and now they are five or six years old. Sticky?"

"My brothers are all busy with work, and my son is clinging to Brother Thirteen, hehehe..." Xiao Shisi is very lively, but Xiao Shisan is very honest.

Xiao Shisan is at his mother's place right now.

Kangxi didn't eat here at night, but the fourth elder brother received the packaged things from Concubine De, which were some summer clothes and incense to repel mosquitoes.

"Brother, this is the silk brocade quilt brought to you by Master De. One is thick and the other is thin. The thick one is just right for covering now. In April and May, it will be cool over there, but you still need to cover your stomach. "The elder sister next to the fourth elder brother is packing the luggage for the fourth elder brother. She still has to chatter about the things sent by the concubine Defei, so that the fourth elder brother can know that Master De is thinking about this son. I'm not very close to the fourth elder brother, but after Queen Tong Jia went, the relationship warmed up, and now it's like an ordinary mother and child, affectionate, but the relationship between mother and child in the palace, even if it is affectionate, can't It can only be harmonious on the surface, not too intimate, or it will cause trouble.

"Tomorrow, I will pay my respects to Concubine Mu." The fourth elder brother looked at the book in his hand, and glanced at the things that Concubine Mu sent. There are so many, is it because he is afraid that he will have a bad time in the yard?

When he was little fourteen.

Thinking of his own younger brother, the fourth elder brother couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

He noticed that Xiao Shisi always called everyone according to the number of consecutive teeth, such as "Big Brother", "Prince Brother" or "Third Brother" and "Fifth Brother", but when he called himself, it was just A title, "Brother", he feels good when he thinks of this, but he feels a little lonely when he thinks of his lost younger brother, Lao Liu. If Lao Liu is still alive, it would be nice for the three of them to be brothers.

The fourth elder brother went to Yonghe Palace the next day. While paying respects to Concubine De, he also came to visit Concubine Mu. He was going to Changchun Garden with him.

The next time I come, I will say goodbye.

It's just that he had just arrived, and he didn't speak three words to Concubine De, when Concubine De's eldest court lady, Qing Hua, came: "Your Majesty, the little elder brother of Concubine Hesheli, died young."

Concubine De and the fourth elder brother didn't recover for a long time.

"Died?" Concubine De sighed: "Didn't you say that the general was well raised?"

"Concubine Hesheli has passed out, and the sentence of the imperial hospital has passed, and the Lord Long Live also told her to take good care of her." Qinghua asked respectfully: "Then what do you think?"

In such a situation, it is necessary to send someone to take a look and send some supplements or something. After all, although the other party's status is lower, but her background is good, she is the sister of Empress Hesheli.

Although she has always been a concubine, she has always been treated as a concubine.

"Brother, are you scared?" Concubine De looked at the fourth elder brother.

"No, it's just that I didn't expect the little elder brother to be five or six months old, right? If you say no, it will be gone." The fourth elder brother was just a little bit embarrassed.

Underage children in the palace are not considered "human beings", so there are only retinues without titles.

And children who died before the age of six or eight were premature deaths, especially the children who died before they even reached the age of one, there were too many of them to count.

Such a child is not qualified to be buried in the imperial mausoleum, he can only be buried in a small coffin, and someone is sent to find a sunny slope outside the city to bury him, even a tombstone cannot be erected.

"I haven't seen it well before, and Hershey's too. It's been so many years that I have such a child. What kind of baby is it? In fact, it's better to raise this child extensively." Concubine De patted his hand. : "You were raised in the same way before. You weren't very refined, but you were raised strong. Little Fourteen is just like you. Look at the strong ones now, and the naughty ones have no limits."

The fourth elder brother smiled: "Little Fourteen is very good."

"It's okay or not, that's the thing, you go back first." Concubine De sent the fourth elder brother away, turned her head and told Qing Hua: "Pick two or two good bird's nests, and send five catties of brown sugar. By the way, let's go down. Add a bowl of ginger soup to Hershey's every day, alas, why is it gone?"

"Yes, empress." The blue and white palace maid bowed her head and stepped back to make arrangements.

Concubine De felt the gold-encrusted stone bead nail cover on her hand. The nail cover was braided and welded with fine gold wire. The upper part was curved, and the ring pattern was decorated with five orchids. emerald decoration.

Touching and touching, Concubine De raised her head and looked at the old woman beside her: "Look where Lord Long Live is going today? Let Concubine Min get ready, if possible, it is best to let Lord Long Live go to the yard When I was here, I took Concubine Min and Xiao Shisan with me."
