[Qing Chuan] The daily life of the seven princes

Yinyou is very busy now, studying and practicing sword are getting more and more nervous. After going out for a few months, it is birthday and Chinese New Year when he comes back. Mr. Fu said that if he does not calm down and study hard, he will be abandoned.

Laziness was something that happened when I was a child. When Yinyou grew up, he was very serious about studying and practicing swordsmanship.

If you're not serious, you can't do it. Mr. Fu has a special bamboo branch in his hand. It doesn't matter whether he is a prince or an elder brother. If he is not serious, he will be beaten.The key is that Mr. Fu only lectures once, and if he doesn’t understand or hear, he won’t have the chance to review.

When Yinyou came to Yumajian, he saw his Rouge and Xiaobailong butt to butt, kicking each other with their hind hooves in the open space.

The two Ma Caos who were in charge of taking care of the horses next to each other tried to pull the reins of a horse to pull them apart, but they couldn't pull them apart anyway.

Especially Yan Zhi, who is born as a little wild horse in the prairie. Except for Yinyou, he is not close to anyone. He can also feed him fodder and lead him for a walk twice. Now, anyone who dares to get close to kicks anyone will attack indiscriminately.

Seeing this scene, Yinyou became angry, and went to pull Yanzhi's rein from Ma Cao's hand, and forcibly pulled them away.

When the two Ma Caos saw the seventh elder brother coming, they retreated a few battles away in an instant as if seeing a savior, and watched the excitement from the sidelines.

Yinyou grabbed the rouge and scolded him: "Do you think this is a grassland, and there is grass to eat when you bow your head?"

A few people around were taken aback, Brother Qi is "training" the horse?

Yinyou nodded the horse's forehead, and continued: "When you are in someone else's territory, you don't know how to restrain yourself. You are still so arrogant that you even bullied the aborigines."

"Who do you think you are? Believe it or not, I will kick you out of the palace."

"Let me tell you, this is the capital city. A pony like you is unfamiliar with the place. When you go outside, you can only be slaughtered for meat!"

A few horses stood far away, and it was quite interesting to watch Seventh Prince's stern words lecture the horses.

How can other elder brothers be so funny, only seventh elder brother, who has weird ideas all day long, what he says and what he does make people laugh.

Yinyou turned to reprimand his little white dragon again: "And you, why are you so stingy? Did it drink your water or eat your fodder? I didn't short you for a bite, what's wrong with you?" satisfied?"

Xiao Bailong snorted and gently rubbed against his hand.Yinyou moved his hand away, and seriously criticized: "Is it useful to act like a baby? If you do something wrong, you have to admit it."

Xiao Bailong leaned over again and rubbed against his hand.

Yinyou saw that it was so obedient, so he touched his ear: "Okay, I forgive you."

Seeing this situation, Yan Zhi at the side also came over, imitating Xiao Bailong and rubbing against Yinyou's hand.

Yinyou ignored it, and he came over to rub it again.

So, Yinyou lowered his hands, Yanzhi thought for a while, then moved her face closer to him, and rubbed against his face.Accidentally, he rubbed his face with saliva.

Instead of feeling dirty, Yinyou slapped it twice on the neck: "Be obedient and live in peace."

Having said that, Ma Cao still suggested euphemistically that Brother Seven should take this hard-earned horse away. It is really not suitable for group life, and other horses are almost oppressed by it so that there is no room for them to live.

Yinyou had no choice but to take the horse back to Chengluxuan and keep it in the bamboo forest behind.He can also run two laps in the small bamboo forest every day to consume his excess energy.

He was just worried that Yan Zhi and Ta Ri would not get along well, Ta Ri's small body was not enough for Yan Zhi to beat him.

However, after staying for two days, I found that they got along very well.

The only bad thing is that the gardener said that the few pots of phalaenopsis that were just about to bloom were gnawed bare overnight.Did Seventh Brother get a new dog?

Seventh elder brother ran to the back of the yard, just in time to see Yanzhi lowering her head and nibbling on the daisies on the other side. Good guy, this is an extra meal in his yard.

From then on, Yanzhi was no longer allowed to enter Chengluxuan, and she was only tied to the bamboo forest behind.

At the beginning, Yan Zhi was dissatisfied with seven and eight were angry, and chased the two peacocks flying around.

Later, Yinyou got an idea and asked people to move Ta Ri out to be with him, Yanzhi calmed down and was tied up in the bamboo forest obediently.

In case of rain, Yinyou made a special trip to ask someone to set up a stable for them.

A few days later, Ma Cao from the Yumajian told him that Xiao Bailong was ill and would not eat or drink, so Yinyou had to run over to see him again.

Seeing him, the horse was full of grievances. He didn't eat for a few days and lost a lot of weight.

Yinyou had no choice but to take him back to Chengluxuan and tie him to the stable in Houzhulin.

Now the three horses gathered in the small bamboo forest, and it was a lively day.

Ta Ri is small and lives in the middle, while Xiao Bai Long and Yan Zhi live on the two sides.They are both attentive to Ta Ri, but they always dislike each other.

Yinyou didn't bother to mediate, so if you don't like it, you can't like it. Anyway, it's tied up, and you can't kick it.

When spring came, Yinyou's legs began to ache again.It was just a dull pain during the day, and it was so painful that I couldn't sleep at night.

He was tossing and turning on the bed, and he couldn't bear the pain that invaded the bone marrow, which really tortured him so much that he couldn't sleep.

The imperial physician prescribed several prescriptions to invigorate the kidney and promote growth, but the effect was not obvious after drinking it, and it still hurts.

It was so painful that he couldn't fall asleep, so Yinyou got up, took his seven stars and went to the bamboo forest to dance a set of sword skills. He was exhausted and could fall asleep when he came back.

In the bamboo grove, two peacocks slept with their necks crossed, Ta Ri lay on the soft and dry grain and grass, Xiao Bailong leaned against the wall to doze off, and Yan Zhi stood aside, staring straight at Yinyou.

Yinyou pulled it out, untied the rope, and let him move around in the bamboo forest.After running for two laps, Rouge began to sweat a little, the blood under the thin skin gushed out, and the skin showed a faint pink color, shrouded in the brilliance of the moonlight, and the whole horse seemed to be shining, like a heavenly horse descending from the earth.

Yinyou put away the sword, tied up the horse, and went back to sleep.

The little sword spirit suggested that he could practice mental techniques, which would help him sleep.

This is a good way, Yinyou lay on the bed, calmed down and began to practice luck, and soon forgot the pain from his legs, and gradually fell asleep.

Yinyou has been suffering from leg pain for a long time, but he has grown very fast.Going to Chengluxuan, the imperial concubine would sigh with emotion: "It's really grown taller visible to the naked eye."

Not only did the height change rapidly, but the figure also began to change significantly.When I was young, I was a chubby little dumpling, and when I grow up, it looks like a thinner boy.

But now it is different, because of practicing martial arts all the year round, the shoulders are stretched out to the sides, the waist line is tightened, and the legs are also elongated a lot.

In addition, he usually likes to wear some light-colored robes, which makes the young man look tall and straight, handsome and elegant.

The imperial concubine patted his face: "It's almost as tall as me."

Yinyou nodded: "Come on, it's almost time to see you next time."

The imperial concubine was a little melancholy: "Why do you grow up so fast?"

Yinyou shrugged: "Because I ate a lot."

He does eat a lot, and he is at the age of "half a child, eats a poor old man", but because his Ama family has a big business, no matter how many sons he raises, he can't eat poorly, so he specially ordered the accounting department to increase the supply of the seventh elder brother , let him open his mouth to eat.

Every spring, Kangxi would spare time to visit Jidian, that is, to see the farmland cultivation around the capital, inspect the river construction, Nanyuan Xingwei, pay homage to the imperial tomb, and stay in Tangquan for a while...

This time is usually not too long, only more than ten days.In the beginning, only the prince was brought along, highlighting the heir to the throne, and letting him observe the emperor's father handling government affairs.Later, he gradually joined the adult princes, and let the princes understand the hard work of the folks, labor insurance farming, and river management.

Yinyou has also been there a few times, watching them use raw soil to ram and cast river embankments when they were young, and gradually began to use concrete to build stronger embankments.

The surrounding farmland has worked hard at the beginning, with unstable harvests, and later began to scientifically breed, transplant, fertilize, transplant, irrigate, and prevent insects... The grain harvest is getting better every year.

Surrounded by his ministers and princes, Kangxi is inspecting the sowing of rice fields this year.

Yinyou sat alone on the ridge of the field, watching a group of children playing in the distance.The children were plainly dressed, some didn't even wear shoes, there were boys and girls, young children of three or four years old, and older children of five, six, even eight or nine years old.

After a while, the third elder brother walked over from nowhere, stood beside him, and asked, "What is Xiaoqi thinking?"

Yinyou put his hands behind his head, half-closed his eyes, and looked very leisurely: "I was thinking, with such a good time, they should be allowed to study instead of wasting their time."

Hearing this, the third elder brother was a little bit surprised: "I never thought that one day I would hear Xiao Qi's words of urging people to study."

"Although I don't like reading, I hope others can read."

The third elder brother said: "Their parents have been farming for generations. It is good to farm, marry a wife and have children. The greatest happiness is to be able to eat and wear warm clothes. Where can I have spare money to study?"

Yinyou raised the corners of his mouth, but there was no smile in his eyes: "The poorer you are, the more you need to study. Only in this way can you change your destiny. Not only can you change your own destiny, but also the destiny of the country."

He thought for a while and added: "I'm talking about learning scientific knowledge, not the Four Books or the Five Classics."

"..."

Yinyou said this for a long time, but did not wait for the third brother's response.Looking sideways, Kangxi walked over without knowing when, with a serious expression, and he didn't look very happy.

The third elder brother bowed and lowered his head: "Royal father."

Kangxi only stared at Yinyou, and the little guy also stood up consciously and followed the third brother.

Kangxi didn't say anything in the end, and when he got to the palace, he called Yinyou over: "Who taught you what you said during the day?"

Yinyou thought he was asking him to play chess, but he didn't expect to ask this, and he didn't realize it for a while: "What are you talking about?"

"Reading." Kangxi reminded him, "Nalan taught you, or Fu Shan?"

"Neither." In fact, the imperial concubine told him, but he couldn't say it, so he said without changing his face, "I think so myself."

Kangxi looked at him: "Then you know how complicated the thoughts of scholars are. If everyone can read and write, the world will be in great trouble. What's more, you still don't ask them to read the books of sages and learn from the strange skills of Westerners." .”

Yinyou was shocked, but he didn't argue with him any more.

In the eyes of his Ama, Western science is a strange skill. He only allows himself to learn it, but does not let his people touch it.

He did not study science to improve people's production and life, but only for his own hobbies and to better rule his people.

This is imperial power. Except for myself, I hope that all people in the world will be low-level animals with simple thinking, and obey the rule of the emperor to death.

Yinyou asked: "Are you still playing chess? If not, I'll go back to sleep."

Kangxi pointed to the opposite side of the kang table, and motioned him to sit down: "Take two."

The weather is getting hotter, there are many mosquitoes in the suburbs, and the tour of Jidian is almost coming to an end.

After Kangxi took his son to pay homage to Xiaoling and Jingling, he stayed in Tangquan for another night before returning to Changchun Garden.

However, not long after returning to Changchun Garden, he fell ill.

At the beginning, it was chills, and it spread from the limbs to the back, chest, abdomen, and head, so that the whole body felt cold.Goosebumps appeared on the skin, cyanosis of the lips and nails, and pale complexion, which could not be alleviated by covering with several quilts.

Everyone thought it was a cold when they went out, but after the imperial doctor checked and discussed again, the initial diagnosis might be malaria.

The imperial concubine quickly rushed over, immediately lifted the quilt, took off his clothes, and made a palpation on the abdomen, and found that hepatosplenomegaly was obvious.

The doctor's diagnosis was correct, it should be malaria.

After a while, the coldness subsides and high fever begins to appear. The more pronounced the chills, the higher the body temperature.

Ever since he was afraid of the cold, Kangxi felt very bad. The feeling of serious illness made the emperor who was usually killing and decisive unable to do anything, and he always had the illusion that his time was approaching.He became stubborn and self-willed, and would not let anyone near him except the imperial concubine.

This is a disease that occurs frequently in warm and tropical regions. Infection in the capital is usually through mosquito bites. The incidence rate is not high, and the imperial physician's understanding of it is also very limited.However, the tongue condition, pulse condition, and symptoms and signs all have heat signs. According to the policy of treating different diseases with the same treatment, the prescription is prescribed for febrile symptoms.

The imperial concubine knew that there was a medicine in the hands of Western missionaries called Cinchona Cream, which was quinine.Grinding the bark of the cinchona tree into powder has the effect of inhibiting the reproduction of malaria parasites or killing them.

Kangxi's body temperature was too high. Just by touching it with his hands, he knew it was not lower than [-] degrees. open.

When Yinyou heard the news of Ama's illness, he rushed over immediately.Over the years, he has experienced many close relatives who were seriously ill, among which the ones that most touched his heartstrings were the Empress Dowager and Imperial Concubine.

Every time, Ama put down everything in her hands and stood in front of them wholeheartedly.Yinyou has always felt that Ama is the real dragon emperor, Ziwei Xing descended to earth, always majestic and inviolable.

He never thought that there would be a day when Ama fell ill, and the sick Ama was lying on the bed, also looking so fragile and vulnerable.

After hearing the news, all the princes, concubines, and ministers rushed to fill Qingxi Bookstore to the brim.The emperor was in danger, and no one could care about whether it was proper or not, everyone was asking about the situation in a hurry.

Once upon a time, Western missionaries sent Cinchona cream.Originally, I wanted to explain the usage and dosage to the imperial concubine, but the ministers and concubines rushed forward and firmly opposed the use of western medicine for the emperor.

They are old-fashioned and don't believe in Western things. How can the emperor's dragon body be used to test medicine so easily.Besides, what if these Western missionaries have no good intentions and put poison in the medicine?

At this time, someone proposed to test the medicine for the emperor, which was supported by everyone all the time. Everyone signed up enthusiastically, and they didn't want to miss this opportunity to sacrifice their lives to test the medicine for the emperor.

The imperial concubine looked dumbfounded, and thought that it would be fine if she couldn't help, and even came here to make trouble.Although this medicine is effective against malaria, it also has many side effects. It can cause various damages to the cardiovascular system, respiratory system, nervous system, and hearing and vision. Is it safe to eat and play with?

Yinyou was still squatting on the bedside, staring at Ama without blinking, and stayed with him all the time.Kangxi was groggy, his body temperature was too high, and his consciousness had already gradually blurred.But he hadn't completely passed out yet, he frowned slightly when he vaguely heard the noise outside.

But Yinyou suddenly stood up and walked out, the crown prince saw his gloomy expression, so he called him: "Xiaoqi!"

Yinyou ignored him, strode outside, first protected the imperial concubine behind him, and glanced at the crowd coldly: "If you want to quarrel outside, let me try the medicine. I, Ama, have something wrong. Accompany him. You don’t need to worry about it, what should you do!”

After he finished speaking, he pulled the imperial concubine and walked into the house, leaving a group of ministers behind.

Because this seventh elder brother has been unreasonable since he was a child, when he went back to Shengjing, he not only beat his brother-in-law, captured the traitor, but also smashed his shop in front of the emperor, he was not easy to mess with.Although everyone was dissatisfied in their hearts, they did not dare to show it.

At this time, it was time for Yinyou's uncles to show up. The imperial guards around the emperor invited everyone outside the courtyard, and then stopped at the entrance of Qingxi Bookstore. Who would dare to try trespassing.

The imperial concubine prepared the medicine and brought it to the bed, the crown prince helped Kangxi up, Yinyou reached for the cup in Emiang's hand, the imperial concubine opened his hand: "What are you going to do?"

Yinyou said: "Let me try."

The imperial concubine gave him a hard look: "It's not your turn to try."

The prince said, "I'll come!"

"Don't make any trouble!" The imperial concubine brought the cup to Kangxi's mouth, coaxing him to drink the medicine.The emperor, who was always cautious and suspicious, became obedient in front of his closest relatives. If he was asked to open his mouth, he would open his mouth, and if he was asked to drink medicine, he would drink it.

After taking the medicine, he didn't recover immediately. The emperor still had a high fever and his consciousness was drowsy. Except for his son and the imperial concubine, no one was allowed to approach him.

The imperial concubine couldn't walk away, and kept using alcohol and warm water to physically cool him down.I can only ask my son: "Xiao Qi, you send Huang Mama back to the palace."

Seeing that Ama is not getting better, Yinyou doesn't want to leave, but Er Niang has spoken, so he can only do as he wants.

The empress dowager and Yinyou left, except for Kangxi who was seriously ill lying on the bed, there were only the imperial concubine and the prince in the room.After all, it is not a biological mother and child, so it is inconvenient, and the prince has to retreat to the outside room.

After sitting outside for a while, he was still worried about the emperor's body, feeling that the room was stuffy, and planned to go out to get some air.

Not long after he left the door, he met Suo'etu, who was waiting outside Qingxi Academy, watching Yinyou send the empress dowager away, guessing that the prince would come out soon.

Sure enough, the prince came out soon.The two were talking next to Qingxi Bookstore, in a place shaded by trees.

It was already night, and the eunuchs were standing far away with lanterns in their hands, so that no one else could easily spot them.

Suo'etu seemed to be more worried than the prince, and had been concerned about the emperor's situation.After such a day of tossing, the prince is also a little tired, and he doesn't want to talk.

But Suo'etu was very anxious: "Prince, no matter whether the situation is good or bad, you must always give me a letter." The voice behind the words was extremely low, almost whispering close to the prince: "I wish I could help you sooner." prepare for."

The prince frowned and took half a step back.Although Suo'etu was thinking of him wholeheartedly, these words sounded very harsh. His emperor's father was still lying on the bed, life and death were uncertain, and Suo'etu was so bold as to say such words.

"The imperial father has taken the western medicine offered by the missionary, and his condition has improved." The prince looked very impatient, "Master Suo can rest assured."

Suo'etu didn't really want Kangxi to die, but just in case Kangxi couldn't make it through, he had to prepare for the crown prince's enthronement.The other elder brothers are still young, the most threatening one is the elder brother, and...

Thinking of this, he asked again: "Now only the imperial concubine is with the emperor?"

The prince nodded absently: "Yeah."

Suo'etu became anxious again: "Then how can you come out at this time, since the holy body has improved, you should be with the emperor, and you can't let their mother and son stay by the emperor's side, in case something happens ..."

These words made the prince even more disgusted: "Master Suo, you have to worry too much."

"The emperor has intended to support the Tong family over the years. I heard that he still wants to become a queen, so we must guard against it."

"Defense against what?" The prince asked sharply, "Defend against my own brother?"

"Prince..."

The crown prince didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and his voice became deeper and deeper: "Except for the emperor, Xiao Qi is my closest person. I won't guard against you, nor will I guard against him."

"Prince, you are confused," Suo'etu looked angry and was about to stomp his feet anxiously, "I am the one who wholeheartedly plans for you, and the Hesheli family is the relative you can rely on."

The more the prince listened to it, the more he felt that at this moment, these unfaithful and unfilial words were part-time Lipu.Not wanting to talk to him, he waved his hand, indicating that he could leave.

Suo'etu sighed and could only leave first.

He thought that the place was hidden, and he and the prince's people were all around, so no one had the ability to eavesdrop.But what he doesn't know is that some people's hearing is much better than he imagined, and they can hear their conversations clearly without getting close.
