[Qing Chuan] The daily life of the seven princes

Not long after Yinyou sent the empress dowager away, the empress dowager saw that he was absent-minded and knew that he was thinking about Kangxi, so she didn't want him to send him off and asked him to go back first.

Chunhui Hall is not far ahead, there are so many court ladies and eunuchs beside the Empress Dowager, besides, this is the Royal Garden, so there will be no danger.

Therefore, Yinyou bowed to the queen mother and walked back in a kind manner.

When he walked near Qingxi Bookstore, he heard the voices of two people talking, one was the prince he was familiar with, and the other was not unfamiliar, it was Suo'etu.

Yinyou listened all the way, and finally stood in front of the intersection, and when he was about to turn around, he met Suo'etu who hurried out again.

The two met each other, and Yinyou smiled and said, "Master Suo, it's so late, and you haven't gone back to rest yet?"

Suo'etu just had a bad nose with the prince, and now he has no patience to chat with him: "The emperor is critically ill, as a subject, how dare he rest. But Seventh Brother, he can still laugh now."

Yinyou tilted his head: "Who told you that my Ama is critically ill. After he took the medicine, he is already much better."

"Is that so, the minister is relieved." Suo'etu saluted perfunctorily and left in a hurry.

Yinyou also wanted to ask, "Is my Ama much better, Mr. Suo, are you not happy?" However, he walked too fast and didn't give him a chance to make use of the problem.

Yinyou thought for a while, instead of going into Qingxi Bookstore, he turned into the path that Suo'etu came out just now, walked around the flowers, and saw the prince still standing under the tree, so he walked to his side , shouted softly: "Brother Prince."

The prince turned around and reached out to him: "Come here."

Yinyou put his hand in his palm, and when he gently tugged, he rushed over and hugged his prince brother tightly.

Yinyou obediently leaned on the crown prince's shoulder, and the crown prince stroked his back lightly with his hands, and said with a smile, "You're almost as tall as me, and you still have to act like a baby."

Yinyou was surprised: "Didn't the prince brother want to hug me?"

"No, I just want to hold your hand."

Yinyou immediately took half a step back: "That's my misunderstanding."

The prince smiled helplessly, and pulled him into his arms again: "Okay, okay, I can't say no to you, you have not misunderstood, brother prince just wants to hug you."

The two brothers stood quietly under the tree for a while, Yinyou leaned on his elder brother's shoulder, almost fell asleep standing up, the prince patted his back lightly: "Sleepy?"

"No."

"Okay, let's go in."

The crown prince dragged him into the Qingxi study, and when he came to the inner room, he saw that Kangxi was awake, half leaning against the head of the bed, and the imperial concubine was holding a porridge bowl in her hand, and was feeding him bit by bit.

Yinyou rushed over, reached out to touch Ama's forehead, touched the sweat on his hand, but was still very happy: "It seems that the fever has subsided."

Kangxi looked very sleepy, raised his eyelids to look at his two sons, moved his lips and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't have the strength to say it, so he gave up.

Finally, his eyes fell on the imperial concubine again, and he said in a difficult voice: "Go and rest for a while."

The imperial concubine finally fed him two more spoonfuls, half a bowl of porridge was enough.Only then did he pass the porridge bowl to the maid, and helped him to lie down: "Go to sleep for a while."

Needless to say, the imperial concubine also planned to rest for a while after he fell asleep.

The fever is only temporary, and after the intermittent period, the periodic chills, fever and sweating will still repeat.

But this kind of fever is irregular, and the time is not easy to grasp.So, the imperial concubine confessed to the prince and Yinyou: "You two will stay by Ama's bed tonight, monitor your body temperature at any time, and once it rises, ask someone to call me, I'm next door."

The prince bowed to her and saluted: "Okay! Please rest assured, imperial concubine."

The imperial concubine was still worried, she turned around and explained: "The imperial physicians are outside, let them in if there is anything to do. If the emperor wakes up and has no fever, let him drink more water."

The prince and Yinyou nodded: "Yes."

When it was time to go out, the imperial concubine turned around again: "If he says he is fine...forget it, you can send someone to call me when he wakes up. If you are tired, you can rest on the couch next to you for a while, and you don't have to stay by the bed all the time .”

"Oh!" Yinyou went over to push her: "Got it, if you say a few more words, my Ama will really wake up."

After the imperial concubine left, the two brothers sat in front of the bed, afraid of disturbing Ama, they didn't dare to speak, one of them took a book and read by candlelight for a while.

It was already late at night, Yinyou patted the prince on the shoulder, pointed to the other side of the room and mouthed to him: "Go to sleep for a while."

The prince waved his hand, told him to go to sleep, and kept watch by himself.

Yinyou shook his head, pushed him again, and sat in the seat where the prince sat just now.

The prince was helpless, patted his head, and walked to the other side.The eunuch brought a thin quilt, and the prince just squinted his eyes.

The next day, when Kangxi woke up, it was still dark.As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Yinyou was resting his head on his shoulders, eyes closed, curled up, sleeping beside the bed, with a thin blanket on his body, as if the eunuch covered him after falling asleep.

After a good night's sleep, there is no fever now, and Kangxi feels much lighter both mentally and physically.

He moved inward, and Yinyou's body tilted inward a little bit, until Yinyou changed from lying on his side to lying on his stomach, and he slowly woke up.

The little guy opened his eyes, his eyes were still a little hazy, he focused slowly, and saw that Ama was smiling at him.

He quickly sat up, reached out to touch Ama's forehead, with a smile on his face: "It seems that there is no fever."

Thinking about it again, Er Niang said to drink more water, she turned around and told the consultant: "Hurry up, pour water... pour two glasses!"

According to what he said, the consultant brought two glasses of water, Kangxi drank one first, and Yinyou had to let him drink another one: "Er Niang said, you need to drink more water."

Kangxi poured another glass of water down, and then his son pressed him on the pillow again and covered him with the quilt.

Yinyou said in a commanding tone: "Sleep for a while."

"Ama can't sleep, show me a book."

"No!" Yinyou pressed him, not letting him get up, "Er Niang said, you have to rest, you can't read."

Kangxi asked, "Where's your mother?"

"next door."

Kangxi thought about it again. Before he fell asleep, he remembered that the prince was there, so he asked again: "Where is the prince?"

Yinyou pointed in another direction: "I just fell asleep not long ago."

So, Kangxi patted the vacant space beside him: "You also sleep for a while."

Yinyou waved his hand: "I'm not going to sleep anymore, you go to sleep, I'll be here guarding you."

Kangxi looked at the eunuchs waiting in the room: "With them guarding, where do I need you? Hurry up and sleep with Ama for a while."

Yinyou thought for a while, Ama's fever subsided and she drank the water, so it should be nothing serious, so she lay beside Kangxi with a thin blanket in her arms. After all, he was young, and fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow.

Kangxi stared at his face for a long time, his son was almost grown into an adult, but in his heart he always remembered Yinyou's appearance when he was a child, so clingy and cute.

Early the next morning, when the imperial concubine walked into the room, she saw the prince standing in front of the bed with a helpless smile on his face. On the bed, the father and son were head to head, sleeping soundly.

After waking up during the day, Kangxi still felt that he was healed, so he clamored for Wei Zhu to get him the memorial, and he had to hurry up and review it.

The imperial concubine stopped him: "The emperor has not recovered from his serious illness, so he should rest in peace and not be too tired."

"I've recovered, you see, I'm very energetic."

"It's not good." The imperial concubine stopped Wei Zhu, "The government affairs of the previous dynasty are left to the prince, so you can rest at ease."

After resting for a while, Kangxi found out that the imperial concubine was still planning things like a god, and his body temperature rose again.

Yinyou went to fetch the quinine cream and handed it to the imperial concubine: "Take this medicine again, and Ama's illness should be cured."

"It's not that easy," the imperial concubine hesitated while holding the medicine. After all, this medicine has side effects, and the side effects are not small. Severe cases can cause arrhythmia. The dose should not exceed one gram within 24 hours. She asked Kangxi, "The emperor feels how?"

Kangxi pointed to his ears: "There is some tinnitus, and things are a little blurry."

The imperial concubine sat by the bed and discussed with him: "Although this western medicine has miraculous effects on malaria, it also has certain toxicity (traditional Chinese medicine regards side effects as toxicity). Since the emperor is much better now, let's stop using it first and continue to take important treatments. Bar."

"Row."

The imperial concubine was a little surprised, and she discussed with him, but he said "OK" without even thinking about it.

Yinyou frowned at the side: "But Ama took the imperial doctor's medicine, but she didn't get better. On the contrary, the effect of this western medicine is better."

The imperial concubine looked at her son and explained patiently: "Malaria is a rare disease in the palace. The imperial physician has never encountered it before, so it is difficult. Last time I heard from Imperial physician Liu that there is a famous doctor in the south of the Yangtze River who is especially good at treating febrile diseases. He happened to come to the capital. , let's invite him to take a look and prescribe two medicines, what does the emperor think?"

Kangxi still nodded without thinking too much: "According to my cousin."

At noon, Imperial Physician Liu invited the famous doctor who had traveled from the south of the Yangtze River to the capital.

This genius doctor's surname is Ye, and his single name is Gui.

Yinyou originally thought that famous doctors were old men like Taiyuan Hospital, but he didn't expect that Dr. Ye was very young, only in his thirties by visual inspection, wearing a blue gown, and his official language was soft with Wu dialect. It looks like a Jiangnan literati.

However, he was born in the Kangxi period, so he is not as pedantic as the adherents of the previous dynasty.Called into the palace to see a doctor for the emperor, she didn't feel nervous at all. She bowed to the emperor, imperial concubine, and prince without being humble or overbearing, and then began to diagnose the pulse.

According to him, the emperor has always been in a strong body, feeling the aura of obscenity and evil, fighting between good and evil, chills and fever symptoms are more serious than ordinary people, and now he is at the most critical stage of the disease process.

Dr. Ye said: "Caomin suggested to use Artemisia annua for treatment."

After hearing this, the imperial physicians on the side showed disdainful expressions on their faces. They thought it was some rare medicinal material, but after talking for a long time, it was still Qinghao.

"My Majesty, when I was first diagnosed with malaria, I had already used Artemisia annua."

The imperial concubine waved her hand, and said gently: "Don't worry, Doctor Zhang, just listen to what Doctor Ye has to say."

Ye Tianshi went on to say: "The imperial doctor decocted Artemisia annua and other medicinal materials and gave it to the emperor. Naturally, the effect is not good. I suggest directly taking it with Artemisia annua juice, which has a miraculous effect."

The doctor Zhang said again: "The Artemisia annua is bitter and cold, so it is not suitable for raw use. Your Majesty is the Ninth Five-Year King, and no mistakes can be tolerated."

"..."

The adverse reactions of Artemisia annua are much less than those of Cinchona Cream, almost negligible.

But these old doctors are the same as the group of ministers outside. Whether they are cautious or old-fashioned, they can't accept things that are unexpected to them, for fear that others will take credit for them.

Kangxi was ill and didn't have time to listen to their wrangling, so he waved his hand and let the imperial concubine make the decision.

The imperial concubine didn't listen to the earnest words of the imperial doctors, and only said to the eunuch who was waiting at the side: "Take Doctor Ye down to prepare the medicine."

Ye Gui really lived up to the reputation of famous doctors in the south of the Yangtze River, especially in terms of febrile diseases, which were beyond the reach of several doctors in the Imperial Hospital.

Kangxi took the waist for three consecutive days, and on the fourth day, he no longer had a fever, but his body was a little weak.

At this time, Dr. Ye adjusted the prescription again, saying that after stopping the medicine, the stomach would be tired and closed, and he would not want to eat or drink.Therefore, the following prescriptions should be based on regulating the spleen and stomach.

Ye Gui cured Kangxi of malaria, but some imperial physicians still disdained quacks like him, saying that these doctors from the south could only treat febrile diseases and knew nothing about typhoid fever.

So, Ye Gui stood with his hands behind his back, and in his not-so-standard Mandarin, he recited "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" backwards, which made several imperial doctors dumbfounded.

Yinyou found it interesting, so he also sat down and asked Ye Gui to check his pulse to see if there were any hidden diseases.

Since Seventh Brother wanted to check his pulse, Ye Gui didn't dare to refuse, put his fingers on his wrist, and after a while, he only said eight words.

At that time, in addition to several imperial physicians standing in the room, there were other personnel from the imperial hospital, as well as several eunuchs.

Everyone was stunned for a moment when they heard his words, as if they didn't hear clearly.

After he reacted, he was even more shocked. If what he said reached the ears of the emperor, Ye Gui might lose his life.

What he said was: "The harmony of the six channels is either immortal or strange."

Yinyou's reaction was not as exaggerated as others, he just withdrew his hand calmly, and then twitched the corner of his mouth: "Dr. Ye was joking, I am a martial arts practitioner, and the harmony of the six channels is the most basic requirement of the master. "

After hearing this, all the imperial physicians suddenly realized that it is normal for a young man to have a strong body and a harmonious pulse.

But Dr. Liu frowned, always feeling that something was wrong.

Seventh elder brother has been in poor health since he was a child. He ran to Chengqian Palace and Compassionate Palace twice in three days.After the age of five or six, things get better.

Thinking about it carefully, it is true that I haven't checked the pulse of Seventh Brother for many years.I also don't know how the child with vain pulse conditions grew into the young man with harmonious six pulses today.

In the end, this matter was not kept a secret, and it soon reached Kangxi's ears.The transmission is also quite evil, leaving out the four words "six meridian harmony" in front of it, leaving only the four words "either immortal or strange" in the back.

So, this sentence became, that Doctor Ye felt Brother Qi's pulse and said that he was either a god or a monster.

What parent likes to hear that his son is a monster, and his son is a little monster, so what has he become?

Therefore, all those who spread rumors and believed in rumors were pulled out to beat the top [-] boards, and those who said that Brother Qi was a god would not fight, because he was a dragon heir after all, and he was similar to a god.

After the little sword spirit learned about this, she scolded Yinyou: "Look at you, I told you not to be so ostentatious, one day, you will be exposed."

Yinyou sneered: "You are a sword spirit, why do you worry so much every day?"

Seventh elder brother is very bad, and he is required to be on call when something happens, to solve his own problems.When it's okay, I don't call myself once for ten days and a half months.

When he was a fairy, he was at ease, and when he was reincarnated as a human, he was still free and unfettered, and his life was always different from others.

Kangxi just recovered from his illness, so he went to Ningchun Hall to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager.

The empress dowager only knew that he was sick, but she didn't know what it was.The people didn't want to worry the ancestors, they only said that the emperor caught a cold occasionally, and they were afraid of giving the ancestors the sickness, so they didn't come to pay their respects these few days.

The imperial concubine and Yinyou accompanied the driver in front of the bed all day long, so they couldn't go.If everyone didn't go, it would be easy to see the flaws, so they could only ask the fourth elder brother to go for them, making excuses in every possible way, almost revealing the truth, it was the empress dowager who brought the fifth elder brother and the fifth gentleman over to make a break, and transferred the old man. Ancestors pay attention to round things up.

Fortunately, with Ye Gui's medicine, Kangxi's illness can be recovered as soon as possible.

Kangxi greatly appreciated Ye Gui's medical skills, and wanted to keep him in the Imperial Hospital.However, the family is unwilling, saying that there are still wives and children at home, and there are still many places that have not been visited when traveling, and they will leave the capital in a few days.

Kangxi did not force others, gave him a reward, and let him go.

The prince grew up to Yinyou's age, he was thirteen or fourteen years old, and he needed to share some worries about the emperor's father's political affairs, and attended some sacrificial or cultural activities alone.

The fifth elder brother, the sixth elder brother, and even the eighth elder brother are indeed like this. Only Yinyou, like a child, reads books and practice swords all day long, and does nothing else.

Of course, he didn't like to do these things, but he thought it would be more interesting to visit the military generals who stayed in the capital after they became officials, and listen to them talk about their past battles in the battlefield.

Not long after, the third elder brother moved out of the Forbidden City, and married General Pengchun's daughter, Dong E, as the first Fujin, and the pen-sticking Dundali's daughter, Tian, ​​​​as the side Fujin.

After he moved out of the palace, the small courtyard was left for the twelfth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother to live together.

On the day the third elder brother moved out of the palace, the brothers sent him outside the palace gate.

On the way back, Yinyou suddenly had a whim, pulled Si elder brother and said: "If only I could marry a general's daughter in the future."

The fourth elder brother frowned when he heard it: "How could you have such an idea."

Yinyou said: "In this way, it is possible for my Di Fujin to practice martial arts since childhood."

The fourth elder brother was puzzled: "Why did your son Fujin practice martial arts since he was a child?"

Yinyou laughed loudly: "Maybe she will be a female general in the future."

"..."

The fourth elder brother sighed, and couldn't help stretching out his finger to tap his temple: "What have you been thinking about all day long?"

"Hey!" Yinyou laughed like a little fool, "I used to think that I must marry a talented woman in the future, but now I think it's not bad to marry a female general."

"The ancients said that 'a woman without talent is a virtue'."

Yinyou stretched out a finger and shook it: "The ancients are wrong. No matter men or women, they should have both ability and political integrity. Who doesn't like talented women like Xie Daoyun and Li Qingzhao? They not only have talents, but also have integrity, which is better than many men. .”

The fourth elder brother couldn't help pouring cold water on him: "Who to marry as a Fujin, you can't let you be a scholar."

Yinyou raised his eyebrows: "I must be a scholar for this matter!"

"..."

After Yinzhi got married, Kangxi assigned Chen Menglei, whom he brought back from Shengjing, to his mansion to serve as the third elder brother's attendant.

Yinyou is also very interested in this Mr. Chen, thinking that he is a person with high attainments in literature and education, he likes to chat with him, and has been pestering the third brother, saying that he will go to his house as a guest and have a small gathering with Mr. Chen .

However, at this moment, Chen Menglei broke out a shocking event that had been dusty for many years.The parties came to face Kangxi and confronted each other, their faces were red and their ears were red. Everyone was stunned, and for a while they couldn't tell who to believe.
