[Qing Chuan] The daily life of the seven princes

Seeing Kangxi's expression was different, the ministers were also puzzled, neither could guess whether the emperor was happy or unhappy.I can't guess what Seventh Brother painted.

Therefore, everyone could only wait obediently a few steps away, watching the changes.

Although the ministers waited patiently, the younger elder brothers couldn't wait any longer and gathered around the table to see what Yinyou had painted.

Brother Jiu widened his eyes when he saw Yinyou's painting, and exclaimed, "Brother Seven, what are you painting?"

Yinyou put down the pen, straightened the sleeves on the scroll for fear of staining, and replied calmly: "You don't know the bamboo you painted?"

Brother Jiu said: "Of course I know bamboo, but why is the bamboo you draw different from the bamboo drawn by others?"

"What's the difference?"

Brother Jiu had a subversive look on his face: "Why is the bamboo you painted red?"

Yinyou smiled and squinted his eyes: "Isn't red good-looking?"

Kangxi stood aside, didn't say anything, just stared at his son's painting intently.

Bamboo is not pure red, it has a slight orange hue. The bamboo body is slender, with distinct knots, and the bamboo leaves are also red, with a slight curvature, and a slightly upturned curvature at the tail.

At the bottom of the bamboo sits a child, with a big head and a small body, eyes curved like a crescent in the sky, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, he is actually asleep.

There is also a book on his head, and the direction of the pages is the same as that of the bamboo leaves.

Just looking at such a still picture can make people feel the leisurely breeze.

Kangxi could tell at a glance that the child under Takeshita was Yinyou himself.

Brother Six frowned and asked, "Is there any red bamboo?"

This question has asked everyone, not only a few princes, but also ministers are discussing whether there is red bamboo in this world.

Yinyou didn't care, and looked at the sixth elder brother with a sly smile: "No one has ever seen black bamboo, but someone painted black bamboo."

Among the ministers brought out by Kangxi, there were Manchus and Han Chinese, civil servants and military generals.

Some people are still at a loss, and some people understand what is going on when they hear the red bamboo.

This man's name is Fahai, and he is also one of Yinyou's many uncles - he is the second son of Tong Guogang, and unlike other men in the Tong family, everyone else is a guard first and then rises up step by step.

For example, Longkodo, the third-class bodyguard was Luan Yiwei, and now the deputy capital of Zhenglan Banner Mongolia.

Fahai is a scholar. He was born as a Jinshi and changed to a scholar. Now he works in the Imperial Academy and walks in the Cinan Study Room.This time I also went on tour with Kangxi.

Because this uncle is the same as the monk in the play of The White Snake, and also a scholar, so Yinyou was deeply impressed by her.

Fa Hai took a step forward and said, "Seventh Brother, this is the red bamboo painted by Layman Dongpo."

A person who doesn't know this allusion, when he heard that he imitated Su Shi's painting of red bamboo, had an expression of "Although I don't understand, but I think it's amazing", and was about to praise it.

Yinyou himself shook his head, and said with a smile: "The brushstrokes are careless, not looking for similarity, just chatting for self-entertainment." [Ni Zan]

What this means is that I just drew for fun and didn’t think too much about it.

Fahai asked again: "Dongpo Layman draws bamboo without drawing joints, and draws it from bottom to top with one stroke. Seventh elder brother draws bamboo, not only has bamboo joints, but also outlines each one with emphasis. Why?"

Yinyou said: "Of course it is necessary to draw bamboo joints. A gentleman should be like a bamboo, unbreakable in the wind, tenacious and indomitable, so that he can show his integrity."

After hearing this, the ministers all nodded and said in awe-inspiring tone: "Elder Brother Qi is very intelligent at such a young age, and has such profound thoughts. It is indeed the emperor's ability to teach his children well."

With his hands behind his back, Kangxi looked up and saw the clump of bamboo in the corner, and then looked at Yinyou's paintings, except for the young children under the bamboo, the others were also seven or eight times similar.

It was mid-afternoon at this time, and a beam of sunlight shone from the other side of the wall, just covering the clump of bamboo forest, and the bamboo showed a faint golden orange color.

Kangxi smiled, couldn't help but want to touch his son's head, but held back in front of so many people.

When leaving, Yinyou specially rolled up his painting, ready to take it back and show it to the Empress Dowager.

Li Shizhen came out to see him off, and walked a long way, watching the emperor's chariots and horses leave.

Yinyou suddenly remembered something, turned around and came back, and said to Li Shizhen: "Aunt Xi is thousands of miles away in the south of the Yangtze River, so she can't be with her knees all the time, Master Li must take care of herself."

Li Shizhen hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Thank you, Brother Seven."

Yinyou returned a salute with a smile, and then the aunt left.

Back in the palace, Yinyou couldn't wait to run to the courtyard of the Empress Dowager, where the Empress Dowager, Imperial Concubine and Concubine Yi were also there.

This time when Kangxi went out, he took Concubine Yi with her, because her family was originally in Shengjing, and her father was the head of the Shengjing House of Internal Affairs, Fangyin Zuoling.

But Kangxi didn't take eleventh elder brother out, Yifei was somewhat worried, after all the child was not in good health, she was always worried about an accident or something.

Everyone is a mother, and the imperial concubine understands her feelings very well.But there is no way around this matter, I can only comfort her, Elder Brother Eleven is already nine years old, there are mothers, maids and eunuchs by his side, there is no shortage of servants, he will be safe and sound.

Besides, even in the palace, Elder Brother Eleven lives in Elder Brother's residence, and their mother and son cannot see each other often, and Concubine Yi can't help if there is any accident.

Since you are going out with the emperor, be happy, don't always ask the empress dowager to make her worry.

This is very clear, if the empress dowager is not happy, then the emperor will also be unhappy, if the emperor is not happy, everyone should not be happy.

Concubine Yi also listened to the persuasion, she let go after going out for a few days.I can see fifth elder brother and ninth elder brother every day. Although one is not close to her and the other is a mischievous and mischievous boy, they are their own sons after all, and I am very happy to see them often.

Before Yinyou entered the room, his voice first entered everyone's ears.He was happy to hear that, and stretched his neck to look at the door.

As soon as Yinyou came in, he saw a room full of people, so he quickly saluted and greeted them one by one.

The imperial concubine wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief, and said scoldingly: "How old is he, I don't know how to be more prudent, noisy, I will let your Ama hear it later, and I will punish you again."

"It's okay," the Empress Dowager waved with a smile, letting Yinyou go to her side: "I just like to hear him quarrel, he looks lively, who dares to punish him?"

The old ancestor is now in the same family for five generations, and there are many juniors who have Chenghuan under her knees, but her favorite is Yinyou, and she panics every day if she doesn't see her.

Yinyou took out his painting as if offering a treasure and unfolded it: "Mama Ukuma, I drew a picture today, let me show you."

The empress dowager put on reading glasses: "Come on, let me have a look."

Yinyou told her about what happened in the afternoon: "When I was painting, I thought that the sunlight would turn the beads orange-red. Unexpectedly, Uncle Fahai said that I was imitating Dongpo Layman's painting of red bamboo. The minister also followed suit, only Ama noticed it, but he didn't say anything, Ukumama, do you think it's funny?"

The matter itself was quite funny. After his description, the expressions of the ministers at the beginning, their reactions later, and what they said to Kangxi... This exaggeration made it even more ridiculous.

The empress dowager was so amused by him, the empress dowager, imperial concubine, concubine Yi, and the fourth and fifth princesses also laughed.

The Empress Dowager looked at his paintings carefully, and when she saw the child sitting under the bamboo, she stretched out her hand tremblingly, stroked it gently, and said with emotion: "Isn't this you when you were a child?"

Yinyou insisted on sitting next to the Empress Dowager, holding her arm, tilting his head and asking: "Then tell me, can I draw well?"

"Good painting, good painting!" The Empress Dowager called Aunt Su Ma, "Put it up, I have to take it back to the palace."

The Empress Dowager and Concubine Yi seldom see these princes who moved out of the harem. They only know that their younger brothers who were born around the same time are already twelve or thirteen years old.

At least the fifth elder brother, sixth elder brother, and eighth elder brother seem to speak and act like adults. Unexpectedly, this seventh elder brother is still as lively, cheerful, and likes to act like a baby.

When he was away from home, Yinyou just wanted Ukumama to be happy every day, as long as she was happy, Yinyou could do whatever he wanted.

Everyone sat happily for a while, the empress dowager was tired and wanted to rest.The fifth princess accompanied the empress dowager, and the fourth princess accompanied Yifei, and each returned to their own courtyard.

Yinyou also followed the imperial concubine to go out, and the mother and son talked about this matter again on the way.

The imperial concubine glanced at her son: "Uncle Fa Hai is helping you out, you think he really can't see what you are painting."

"Why did he help me out?"

The imperial concubine shook her head and sighed softly: "Ama asked you to write and paint, because you want to show off how good your son is in front of the ministers, and let you show them your true skills, not to please you as you please Own."

"So, uncle is afraid that I will be punished by Ama?"

The imperial concubine rubbed her son's head: "As you grow older, to your uncles and the entire Tong family, you are even more important than their own children, especially your position in your Ama's heart."

"They think too much. With or without me, Amma treats them very well. After all, Amma still calls their father uncle."

The imperial concubine led him into the room: "I'm just telling you the reason behind this incident. I don't want you to do something you don't like because of the rise and fall of your mother's family to please your Ama."

Holding his face in his hands, Yinyou suddenly came up to her and asked, "Then tell me, is my painting good today?"

The imperial concubine nodded his nose: "The childlike innocence is still alive."

"Master said so too."

The imperial concubine held her son's small face: "The old mother only hopes that you will always be childlike, always act rashly, and always only please yourself and never please others."

"No!" Yinyou took her hand and smiled innocently, "They are people I care about, so I will naturally please them."

"That's to please yourself, too."

In the early morning of the second day, everyone continued to drive north.In a few days, I came to Gubeikou.

Kangxi sent the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager to the palace as usual, and asked the female relatives to stay with them.He took his son and went out to have fun.

This time, I came to the general book written by the commander-in-chief Cai Yuan, and the teaching ground is training soldiers.

Kangxi sat down on the tower, overlooking the entire teaching field, and the princes, clan and civil and military officials stood behind him.

After the Battle of Ulan Butong, Kangxi also realized that the elite soldiers of the Eight Banners he was proud of were as vulnerable as paper.There were even senior generals who fled the battle, which was simply a shame to the entire Manchurian nobility.

Therefore, on the basis of forming various firearm battalions, Kangxi also strengthened the training of elite soldiers of the Eight Banners.

I went to have a look today, and the effect is really remarkable. The soldiers' riding and shooting skills, and their mental outlook are much better than usual.

After seeing the training of the soldiers, Kangxi became interested, led the crowd down the tower, and ordered Shixia Lieutenant General Wang Tingbiao and the following generals to demonstrate their shooting skills. After the generals demonstrated, they let the princes go up to try.

Although some princes may not be good at reading, they are very good at riding and shooting.

And some princes are good at reading and writing, but they seem to be a little bit worse in riding and shooting.

Maybe it's not bad, it's just that I don't like it.

Yinyou and the fourth elder brother stood aside, with no intention of going out.

In the end, the third elder brother, the fifth elder brother, the sixth elder brother, and the eighth elder brother stepped forward and shot five swords, and all of them hit the target. Among them, the third elder brother and the eighth elder brother had the best results.

The eighth elder brother is the youngest and has such an excellent performance, Kangxi is very satisfied.

After that, Kangxi asked those who were good at using swords and spears to show their abilities, and they all came to the center of the venue to show off.

This Yinyou is very focused on what everyone is good at, how to use swords, guns, swords and halberds, what are their characteristics, and what are their flaws. He just read it once and remembered it in his heart.

As the princes grow older, they will also learn some boxing skills from Wai Dada, and let them practice swords, spears and various weapons.

After all, the wars have been going on all these years, and the royal family members have to wear armor to go into battle.

At this time, Kangxi sent several guards and several clans with good martial arts skills to come out to compete with the generals.

The competition between the guards and the lieutenants was very interesting, everyone was very good at kung fu, you come and go, how wonderful is the fight.

But the children of the clan are far behind. Except for the elder brother who still has the power to fight, the others couldn't last a few rounds and were defeated one after another.

It's not hard to see that these Baylor's sons and princes of the royal family usually practice ostentatiously, which looks good, but it's not enough for real fights.

On the contrary, it was the lieutenant generals, that was the real kung fu, without those bells and whistles, their moves were fast and straight to the point, forcing the opponents to retreat again and again.

Yinyou was curious about it, he usually played with his brothers as if he was just playing, and he had never really fought with anyone.

"I want to try too."

His voice was not loud, but it was enough for the sixth and eighth elder brothers next to him to hear clearly.

Brother Six frowned. Those lieutenants all looked strong and strong, and they were much older than them. Yinyou was not yet 13 years old, and his height and body were incomparable to others. I have to wail for a long time, how can I stand up to being beaten.

Hearing what he said, Eighth Brother couldn't hold back his eagerness to try: "I want to too."

Yinyou tilted his head and whispered: "Then you go."

Eighth Brother: "I..."

Before he could finish the rest of the sentence, Yinyou suddenly stood up: "Father, the eighth brother said that he also wants to try."

Eighth Brother: "???"

He said so, and the eighth elder brother had no choice but to bite the bullet and stand up together.

But just as he was about to move, Yinyou pushed him back.

"Erchen thinks that the eighth brother is still young, so let me be the elder brother to fight on his behalf."

Kangxi turned his head and looked towards them.Yinyou is obviously not a few months older than the eighth elder brother, but at a glance, he is half a head taller than the eighth elder brother.

This made the old father a little dazed. In his impression, for a long time, Yinyou was the favorite among the brothers, and he was shorter than the younger eighth brother.

Because of this, the Empress Dowager specially ordered the imperial physician to prescribe a prescription for him to drink.

Looking at it now, standing there, he was a bit taller than the people around him.

"You want to go down and compete with them?" Kangxi looked him up and down, and then looked down the field.He didn't say anything, but hinted at his son with actions, "Well, those are a group of generals who lead the army to fight, they are taller, stronger and older than you."

Yinyou followed his gaze and nodded, "Try it."

Kangxi was silent for a long time. To be honest, he was still looking forward to it. He often heard Yinyou brag about how powerful his swordsmanship was, but he had never really experienced it.

However, after all, his son is not yet thirteen years old, so the old father is somewhat worried.

At this moment, Wang Tingbiao, Lieutenant General of Shixia, took the initiative to stand up: "My Majesty, there will be a son at the end, who is about the same age as Seventh Brother, and is also serving in the army. Let's compete with Seventh Brother."

As soon as he said this, everyone present was a little surprised. General Wang's son was only 13 years old, and he had already joined the army.

In fact, Wang Tingbiao misunderstood. He saw that Yinyou was taller than all the elder brothers beside him, and not much shorter than his own son, so he thought they were the same age. In fact, his son was already 15 years old.

That being the case, Kangxi let Wang Tingbiao lead Yinyou down.

"I don't know what weapon Seventh Brother is good at using?"

Yinyou usually practiced swordsmanship with Mr. Fu, so naturally he practiced swords more.

He didn't bring Seven Stars with him when he went out, so he stood in front of the weapon rack and drew a sword at will.It doesn't feel right in the hand - the sword is too light to handle smoothly.

Wang Tingbiao's son, named Wang Guocheng, admired his father since he was a child, grew up in the army, was brave and resourceful, and was a young hero.

At this time, he was wearing armor, holding a spear in his hand, standing there straight, quite like a general.

Yinyou cupped his fists at him: "Major General, please advise."

The other party said "offend", just as the words fell, the man had already approached with a long gun.

This move was extremely fast, piercing the throat, Yinyou reacted faster, and swung his sword to block it.

With a "choke", the blade of the sword collided violently with the barrel of the gun, almost giving the illusion of splashing sparks.

Mr. Fu once said that an inch is long and an inch is strong, and an inch is short and an inch is dangerous.The swordsman fights with the spear-wielding man, and the key to victory lies in the distance.

Yinyou couldn't get in, the opponent's marksmanship was fierce, and he hit the vital point every single time. He dodged left and right with the sword in hand. Several times, the tip of the spear barely passed his eyes.

It sounds like a competition, but obviously this young general in the army did not show mercy. The off-court competition was extremely thrilling, and the elder brothers clenched their fists tightly, and their palms were full of sweat.

Kangxi's face sank like water, and he stood with his hands behind his back.Although he was also worried about his son in his heart, he didn't show a trace of timidity or panic, and stood there calmly, staring at Yinyou.

This person didn't play at first, it was Yinyou who offered to compete with others, and Wang Tingbiao recommended them when he saw that they were about the same age.

Therefore, Yinyou is not familiar with him, and this series of entering the palace left him with only the power to parry.

The little guy was calm, holding his sword to deal with it, while observing carefully.

If you want to break through the distance, you have to let the opponent show its flaws.

But the opponent's marksmanship was fast and hateful, and he didn't give him a chance to get close at all.

It is not difficult to see that the opponent has also undergone rigorous training, and has a lot of experience in fighting short weapons such as swords. He knows how to maximize his own advantages and wants to win quickly.

The more anxious he was to win, the more Yinyou refused to let him go.The two fought from one end of the field to the other.After a few rounds, Yinyou figured out his moves and routines.

As a result, even dodging and responding has become calm and unhurried.

Wang Guocheng made a feint, and stabbed Yinyou's left shoulder with a long spear. This strike seemed to be thunderous, but it didn't use much strength.

Yinyou raised his sword to block it, but was in vain, because the inertia of the sword could not be retracted, a large gap was exposed in front of him, and it was too late to retreat, the point of the spear had already reached his chest.

"Seventh Brother!" Eighth Brother almost shouted.

The fourth elder brother couldn't help but take a step forward, feeling that his heart had already jumped into his throat.

Everyone was terrified to see this scene. If something happened to Yinyou, not to mention Wang Guocheng and his old man Wang Tingbiao, even the chief soldier Cai Yuan might have to be punished accordingly.

Before going on the field, someone had told Wang Guocheng that he was fighting against the prince, so it was fine for him to mean what he wanted, not to be too serious, and not to embarrass the emperor in public.

But he is a young man, although he understands this truth in his heart, but when it comes to the real competition, he refuses to admit defeat easily.

At the critical moment, he jumped into the air with his toes pointing at the tip of the spear, but in an instant, the person had already rushed to him, and the tip of the sword pointed at the throat of Kingdom City.

A long spear is not a sword, if you want to take it back, you will have no power to fight back if you get close.

In a panic, Wang Guocheng retreated a few steps, trying to draw out his spear, Yinyou kicked him, Wang Guocheng felt his wrist tremble, and then his whole arm went numb for a moment. let go.

Before Yinyou fell to the ground, he picked up the long spear, took advantage of the situation, and pointed the spear point behind him, and handed it to Wang Guocheng: "The major general accepts it!"

At this time, the nine elder brothers and ten elder brothers standing behind Kangxi finally couldn't help shouting: "Seventh brother, that's amazing!"

The civil and military ministers were also discussing that Brother Qi was so young, but his kung fu was so good.

At this time, Kangxi's straight back finally relaxed, and he turned to Wang Tingbiao, "How old is your son?"

Wang Tingbiao replied: "Back to the emperor, I just turned fifteen."

Kangxi showed a rather smug smile: "Xiao Qi is less than thirteen years old."

Wang Tingbiao was shocked, and hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty: "The last general thought... Please forgive me, the emperor."

The emperor is happy, how can he be punished for offending: "Get up."

Wang Guocheng took his weapon and clasped his fists at Yinyou: "I lost, and I lost so convincingly."

Yinyou said with a smile: "The major general is sharp with marksmanship, brave and resourceful, so don't be overly modest."

As he spoke, he handed back the light long sword in his hand to the soldiers at the side, and turned back to Kangxi.

Kangxi looked at his son, but he didn't praise him too much, he just nodded at him: "Go back."

"Yes."

Yinyou returned to his brother, and when he passed by the fourth elder brother, he was grabbed by his hand and asked softly, "Are you not injured?"

Yinyou shook his head lightly: "It's all right."

Walking all the way, Fifth Brother and Sixth Brother also patted him on the shoulder.

Yinyou stood beside the eighth elder brother, accepting his younger brother's adoring gaze, he raised his hand, and put his arms around his younger brother's shoulder calmly: "Seventh elder brother is not very powerful."

The same emotion flashed in the eyes of Eighth Prince, and he bumped him with the shoulder: "I was scared to death by you."

On the other hand, Brother Nine and Brother Ten surrounded him from left to right: "Brother Seven is amazing!"

"Teach us."

"I want to worship you as my teacher!"

Kangxi turned his head when he heard the commotion, and glanced at them sharply, how decent it is to go out.

The two young brothers were swept away by the emperor's eyes, and immediately stood back in a well-behaved manner.

On the way back, the elder brother had been riding beside Kangxi all the time.At this time, Kangxi called the third elder brother and the fourth elder brother to him and asked them about their affairs in Qufu.

The eldest elder brother slowed down the speed of the horse, and soon he was driving alongside Yinyou.

"Not bad today."

Yinyou made a face at him: "Just ask if you are afraid?"

"Cut!" Big brother snorted coldly, "I'm afraid of you just because you're so small?"

Yinyou stuck out his tongue at him, with a provocative tone: "You are defeated."

The big brother exploded when he heard this: "When did I become your defeated general again?"

Yinyou has a good memory and is best at turning over old accounts: "You forgot, once in your yard, I took a tree branch to compete with you, and took away your jade pendant."

"That's because you little fool looks too confusing, I was careless."

"If you are careless, it can only show that you are a big fool."

Elder brother refused to accept: "Go back and compare!"

"Comparison, who is afraid of whom?"

The two were arguing, and Kangxi had finished asking the third elder brother and the fourth elder brother what he wanted to know, so he called Yinyou over.

Yinyou came to Kangxi's side on horseback, and said with a smile: "Hey, Ama, I didn't lie to you. Is my swordsmanship superb? Taking the head of an enemy general out of a million troops is like picking something out of a bag, killing one person in ten steps, Never leave a thousand miles behind..."

"Okay, stop bragging!" Kangxi glared at him, and then began to reprimand, "Do you know how dangerous it is?"

Hearing this, Yinyou immediately faltered: "Did you see it?"

"There's nothing you can't see, you just can't get close, and deliberately show a flaw to lure the other party."

This is Yinyou's usual tactic. He always remembers the first lesson of swordsmanship that Mr. Fu taught him - the sentence in "Zhuangzi Talking about Swords": "A husband is a swordsman. Benefits come later, and come first.”

Yinyou watched the horse's ears tremble, and thought it was cute, so he reached out to touch it.

His little white dragon seemed to have sensed it, tilted his head and rubbed against his palm twice, as if acting coquettishly.

Kangxi looked at his son's childish behavior, and really couldn't connect it with the son who just pointed his chest at the tip of a gun and won the victory.

Yinyou comforted him: "Don't worry, Ama, if I'm not sure, I won't do that."

"You go back and wait to be scolded."

Yinyou was stunned: "Don't wait to go back, if you want to scold, you can scold now."

Kangxi showed a calm smile: "I won't scold you, someone will scold you."

Yinyou: "???"

Back in the palace, the fifth elder brother heard that the queen mother was also with the empress dowager, so he went there with Yinyou.

As soon as he entered the room, he shared with everyone about Yinyou's big show in the teaching field today.

He didn't think it was exciting enough, so he added more oil and vinegar to it, especially the part where Yinyou was almost shot in the chest.

Not to mention the empress dowager and imperial concubine, even the empress dowager and concubine Yi were shocked.

The Empress Dowager immediately stroked her chest and shouted, "You're going to scare me to death!"

Yinyou gave Brother Wu a hand and told him not to talk, then he hurried to Mama Ukuma and said flatteringly, "No, no, don't listen to Brother Wu's nonsense, it's just a discussion, it's not that dangerous. "

"I was terrified when I heard that, someone stabbed your chest with a long gun, if you didn't dodge... Ah, don't scare me."

Yinyou quickly coaxed her: "I didn't stab my chest, but it's far away, don't worry."

On the other side, the fifth elder brother was pulled aside by the empress dowager, telling him to shut up quickly, and don't really scare the empress dowager when he is away from home.

Yinyou talked and said repeatedly, emphasizing repeatedly: "It's really just a martial arts competition, click to the end. They stand far away, and they can see so clearly. Really, really, there is no danger at all. In the end, I pointed my sword at their throats, I didn't really stab down."

The empress dowager held him and refused to let go: "In the future, you are not allowed to do such a thing again, and let Mama Ukuma worry."

"Okay, okay, I will obediently stand behind Ama from now on, Mama Ukuma can rest assured."

"That's what you said." Kangxi walked in from the door and was quite happy to hear his son being scolded.

He greeted the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager to sit down, and the others also greeted him, and the whole room chatted lively for a while.

But after a while, it was time for dinner, and the Empress Dowager asked everyone to stay and eat together.

The fifth princess has always liked the seventh brother, and she also sat with the seventh brother when eating. When Yinyou sat down, the fourth princess was already sitting on the other side.

So, the fifth elder brother and the fifth princess competed secretly for who was sitting next to Yinyou.

Although they were not born of the same mother, the blood relationship between the fifth elder brother and the fourth princess was closer than that of the fifth princess. After all, the biological mother of the fourth princess was his aunt.

But because the two of them were raised by the empress dowager's side since they were young, the relationship between the two is even closer than other brothers and sisters.

The fifth princess didn't give her the fifth brother face at all: "You are an older brother, how dare you compete with your younger sister for the position."

"What do you have to do as a younger sister to squeeze in between two older brothers?"

"I want to sit next to Seventh Brother."

"I want to sit with Xiaoqi."

Yinyou looked at this and then at that: "How about I get up and let you two sit down?"

"No!" The two said in unison.

"Sit down, both of you!"

They were arguing, and Kangxi scolded them, which startled them.

Taking advantage of the emperor's father speaking, the fifth princess immediately sat beside Yinyou: "Sit down now."

The fifth elder brother had no choice but to sit next to him.

In order to make the Empress Dowager happy, the meal was not formal, with a few children at the side, lively and lively.

After leaving Gubeikou, he arrived outside the Great Wall. Kangxi traveled all the way to the various tribes of Mongolia. When he arrived at a place, Mongolian princes would come to greet him and have a banquet. There were various activities and banquets almost every day.

The empress dowager is getting old, but she can't stand it.Everywhere he went, he was accompanied by the empress dowager, imperial concubine and others to rest in the palace.

As for Kangxi taking his sons to participate in various celebrations, gatherings, banquets and tours, then let them go.

The autumn on the grassland is crisp and the air is pleasant. The sun is shining during the day and it is quite warm, but the temperature difference between day and night is large, and the temperature drops at night.

But Yinyou still likes this place very much. He has liked to come to Beyond the Great Wall since he was a child, especially at night, away from the camp, lying on the grassland and watching the stars, not to mention how comfortable it is.

One day, after nightfall, he took his little white dragon out of the stable and tried to sneak out to camp, but he was still caught.

"Why are you going here?" A voice came from behind, making Yinyou shudder.

With such a good hearing, he didn't hear the footsteps of this person. It can be seen that...he had actually been standing there the whole time.

You don't need to look back, Yinyou is very familiar with this voice.The little guy turned his head, closed his eyes to crescent moons, and shouted sweetly: "Brother~~"

The fourth elder brother frowned. After so many years, he still hasn't developed immunity to his acting like a baby. After hearing this, his heart will still be soft-hearted, and he can't bear to blame him no matter what he does.

"Don't you call me brother?"

Yinyou clasped his fists together, his voice suddenly became coarse, his words were correct, and he shouted with the momentum of a Liangshan hero: "Brother!"

His "brother" attracted all the guards on duty nearby, and they all looked this way.

The fourth elder brother was sweating, and couldn't afford to lose this man, so he dragged him out quickly.

The camps are radial, and the farther they go to the periphery, the farther they are, and they stretch for several miles.

If Yinyou wants to go out, the fastest way is at least.However, he found that he only led one horse out.

"I can't sleep, I'm going to see the stars."

The fourth elder brother smiled: "That's just right, I can't sleep either."

Yinyou pulled his hand: "Let's go together."

It's not impossible for two people to ride a horse. Yinyou got on the horse first, then stretched out his hand to his brother, and pulled him up, making him sit firmly behind him.

There is a small hill not far from the camp, and from their perspective, the moon seems to be hanging on it.

The two brothers rode on horses, and they came to the top of the hill in a short while.Looking back and looking in the direction of the camp, the torches are connected into a long dragon, just like the Milky Way falling to the ground.

At this time, a gust of wind blew, and the fourth elder brother rubbed his arms. He was only wearing a single shirt: "To be honest, it's a bit cold."

Yinyou was ready when he went out, and shook off his cloak to cover his shoulders: "Don't catch a cold, Erniang will scold me to death if she knows."

The fourth elder brother took off the cloak and wrapped him up again: "You are the one who won't catch a cold."

Yinyou simply tore off the cloak and spread it on the grass, and pulled the fourth elder brother to lie down directly.He even showed him with his hands: "That's the Big Dipper, Ursa Major, Ursa Minor, Andromeda, Orion..."

"You do know a lot."

Yinyou tilted his head and leaned on his shoulder: "Of course, I heard Master Nan said that Master Zhang Cheng and Master Bai Jin also taught me, and I also read it from the books they brought."

The fourth elder brother asked him: "Why study these?"

"Because... I'm curious."

The fourth elder brother asked: "What are you curious about?"

Yinyou didn't answer his question directly, but asked instead: "Tell me, does Chang'e really live in the Moon Palace?"

"..."

"Do you know how far the moon is from us? Do you want to go up and see?"

"..."

"Is there anyone on other stars? Is it a fairy or an ordinary person?"

The fourth elder brother was asked a few questions by him, which aroused his thinking and curiosity about the vast universe.Then, I heard him say again: "Chang'e exists, I have seen it, and it is very beautiful."

"..."

The fourth elder brother breathed a long sigh of relief, and wanted to slap him, but he had already raised his hand, but he just patted his face lightly: "What do you think about every day, you little head?"

"It's a lot to think about." Yinyou put his hands behind his head, "The ancients explored the celestial phenomena, so they had a calendar, four seasons, years, months and hours."

"Er Niang said that in the boundless river of time, everyone is just a drop in the ocean. Seeing a leaf fall, you know the end of the year."

"Brother, do you believe it?" Yinyou turned his head to look at the fourth elder brother, "A trivial decision may affect the future for hundreds of years. Many things are not without warning signs."

He said so much in a paradoxical way, but the fourth elder brother didn't fully understand the meaning, but he felt that it seemed quite reasonable.

Then, Yinyou changed the subject and said: "Many years ago, I remember that on this grassland,
