[Qing Chuan] Yongzheng's embarrassing empress

The Mulan Autumn Festival is held almost every July and August. The emperor brings his princes and grandchildren, officers and soldiers of the Eight Banners, and the princes and nobles of various Mongolian tribes to gather in the Mulan paddock.

When Mulan was in autumn, the emperor would lead the people to hunt with horses and shooters, hold grand banquets, entertain the princes and nobles from Mongolia, give them generous rewards, and strengthen the relationship between them.

Mulan Autumn is equivalent to a large-scale military exercise, and it is inconvenient for Shuwan to go there.She helped her husband and sons prepare their luggage in advance, and then stayed in the villa to wait for them to return.

The big and small parcels were ready, and Shuwan explained some trivial matters to the three of them.

"Mulan Paddock is no more than a palace. When you arrive, you will have to live in tents. It is August now, and the weather in the capital is still hot. It's already getting cold here. When you live in tents, you must pay attention to keeping warm. If you are exposed to wind or cold, you must stay warm." It's not fun to fall into the root of the disease."

Shuwan patted the box on the left, "This is filled with medicine, all kinds of medicine. There are also three big bottles of medicinal oil. You soak your feet every night and apply some medicinal oil on your knees and ankles. The cold, and a good night’s sleep.”

The fourth elder brother smiled and said: "You have already told the eunuchs who followed the line, they will take care of it, you don't need to repeat it."

Shuwan glared at him, "The eunuchs are willing to listen to me, but they dare not persuade you. I am afraid that you will find it troublesome and refuse to soak your feet properly, otherwise who would like to be a bitch!"

The fourth elder brother raised his hand and begged for mercy, "Okay, okay, I'll just listen to you!"

Shuwan glared at him, then turned her head and began to tell her son again.

"The sword has no eyes when hunting, you two must be careful. It is better not to hit the prey and be ashamed, and not to be brave for the sake of showing off. There is always a time when people forget about being shameful. It is not worth being brave and injured. You are both Little people, no one will write you into the history books."

"Especially Xiaobao!" Shuwan squatted beside Xiaobao and persuaded, "You are still young and still growing, it is normal for you to be inferior to others. When you grow up, it will be too late for you to beat the tiger's mother." No matter. Now don't you try to be aggressive, okay?"

Little Treasure nodded obediently, "Don't worry, Er Niang, I know I'm clumsy. The emperor favors me, I'm already very conspicuous, but I don't dare to expose my strengths in both civil and military skills! These days, I don't study or ride or shoot. I just play and play. Even the emperor doesn't know that I'm outstanding."

The fourth elder brother helplessly supported his forehead, Shuwan forced a smile and said: "...very good, you are indeed excellent."

Little Treasure sighed: "I am not only excellent, I also have a mind and a magnanimity. It's just that although my mind is as broad as the sea, I still feel a little wronged. If my excellence cannot be displayed, it is really a loss for the country and the people, and even more so. The emperor's loss!"

The fourth elder brother pulled Shuwan up and asked her to sit beside her, ignoring Xiaobao.

Kang Bao scolded directly, "Forget it! Are you as broad-minded as the ocean? You are as cheeky as the ocean, unfathomable!"

He covered his face and wailed, "Ah! My face is so hot, so hot, I'm ashamed for you!"

Shuwan persuaded: "Okay, okay, good Kangbao, come to Erniang. Although your brother is thick-skinned, but he only has us as his relatives, let's tolerate him! Otherwise, how pitiful he is! "

Xiao Bao frowned, a little unhappy.

"Emiang, you obviously don't respect me as the breadwinner."

The fourth elder brother coughed and looked at Xiaobao with nuclear eyes, "What did you say?"

Xiaobao corrected his sitting posture and said quickly: "I said, please have mercy on me and my elder brother, and forgive me. Although I hate you, you are my dearest relatives!"

The fourth elder brother smiled with satisfaction, "It's not too bad."

In this way, the Mulan Qiuxi mobilization meeting held by Shuwan passed through gags.

When the day of departure came, Shuwan could only send them to the gate of the yard.

Kang Bao and Xiao Bao were dressed in riding attire, with waist knives, quiver and bows and arrows on their backs, which seemed a bit majestic.

Shuwan smiled and told the three of them, "Be sure to pay attention to safety."

Kang Bao and Xiao Bao came over, each holding Shuwan's arm.

Kang Bao comforted: "Er Niang, don't worry, I will protect Xiaobao!"

Xiao Bao nodded obediently, "I will also listen to my brother."

Shuwan smiled and nodded, "You are all good children of Er Niang."

She turned to look at the fourth elder brother beside her, who smiled at her.

Shuwan's heart suddenly felt much more at ease, with the fourth elder brother here, he will definitely protect the children.

It's almost time, the fourth elder brother took the children to the front to wait for the emperor.Then the army set off, and the team left the summer resort in a mighty way.

Mulan Qiuyu is not a game for entertainment, but a very formal riding and shooting practice.

During the journey, apart from the sound of horses' hoofs, footsteps, and the sound of swords rubbing against armor, there was no other movement in the entire marching team.

Kang Bao Xiaobao had never seen such a scene before, and his blood surged for a while, as if they were about to go to the battlefield soon.

The palace was not far from the paddock, and the marching speed was fast, and they arrived at the paddock in the afternoon.

The emperor circled the place where the tents were stationed, and the officers and soldiers of the Eight Banners worked together to build the tents.

The tents for the emperor and his sons and grandchildren were the first to be set up, but the emperor kept his children and grandchildren waiting outside until the soldiers below had set up their tents before allowing the princes and grandchildren to go back to rest.

The tents of the fourth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother are not far away, and they are all in the same direction.

On the way back, Brother Thirteen told his nephews the rules of hunting.

"The emperor said that in the army, one must take the lead, set an example, and share the joys and sorrows with the officers and soldiers. So even if the tent is set up, the emperor wants us to wait outside, and we can return to the tent when the officers and soldiers can rest."

The fourth elder brother smiled and said: "The hunting time has already been calculated. I went out with the emperor at that time, and we ate whatever the officers and soldiers ate. Food and grass are limited. When there is no war, we only have one meal."

Kang Bao patted his chest, "Don't worry, Ama and Uncle Thirteen, Xiaobao and I will eat anything, and suffering is of course not a problem."

Elder Brother Thirteen warned: "Take a break today, and start hunting tomorrow, when the emperor will command the officers and soldiers to surround the prey, you just follow the emperor's command. Remember, tomorrow's military appearance will be cleaned up, and you are not allowed to laugh and fight, and you are not allowed to talk nonsense."

Kang Bao and Xiao Bao nodded again and again, "Thank you, Uncle Thirteen, for your reminder, we will remember it."

Brother Thirteen said again: "After a few days of patience, the rest will be much easier. You two brothers can bring guards to go hunting for entertainment. The paddock here is also divided into many areas. Some areas have no wild animals, which is very suitable for you."

The fourth elder brother and others returned to the tent, and the accompanying eunuchs made some food. Everyone filled their stomachs indiscriminately, took a good rest, and waited for the official hunt the next day.

On the second day, before dawn, the camp was busy.

The emperor was wearing armor, riding a horse and stopping at the front, and the guards stopped behind him to protect him.

I saw him give an order, and the guards and soldiers following him divided into left and right wings to surround and drive away the prey.

The emperor drew his bow and shot an arrow, and shot a deer first, and the officers and soldiers cheered for the emperor in unison.

Maybe every child has this dream of gold and steel. Kang Bao and Xiaobao felt their blood rushing and couldn't help shouting.

For several days, the emperor personally led people to hunt. At night, the emperor summoned the Mongolian princes from various ministries, talked with them cordially, and then rewarded them according to their titles.

It may be the exaggeration of the environment, the enthusiasm of the emperor's grandsons to hunt is high.

A few days later, when it was time for free activities, Hong Yu and Hong Xi came to invite Kang Bao and Xiao Bao to hunt together.

These days, the emperor is so busy that he has no time to play with Xiaobao.This time, Hong Yu and Hong Xi's invitation, Xiao Bao couldn't shirk it.

The two younger brothers reported to the fourth elder brother, then pulled the horse and bow to find Hong Yu and Hong Xi.

When Hong Yu and Hong Xi saw Xiao Bao, they always looked like they liked to hit it off.

Hong Yu said: "We brothers go out together, but we seldom get close. When I see you, I like you more than my brother at home. When we return to Beijing, we often meet up for tea."

Hongxi sneered inwardly, is it great to live outside the palace?Isn't it amazing to be close to the water?

He smiled and said to Kang Bao: "See? The person who robbed your younger brother is here! He said he would invite Xiaobao to tea, and he must drink wine. You have to watch Xiaobao, don't let him Little Treasure is broken."

Hong Yu sneered, "You live in the palace, I live outside the palace, and you know I love drinking!"

Kang Bao was caught in the middle and muddy, "Whether you please drink wine or tea, just don't forget about me, I don't choose! Let's not talk about this! I am out hunting today, I see this A piece of forest is good, let's start now!"

Hongxi smiled and waved to Xiaobao, "You are still young, just come and join in the fun. You hide behind me for a while, and I will protect you!"

Hong Yu deliberately provoked Xiaobao, "What are you hiding! Xiaobao, your brother is good at riding and shooting, you should be as good as you are!"

Hong Xi smiled and said, "Fourth Uncle is good at riding and shooting, Fourth Aunt is a female general, Hong Hui is also very good, I think Xiao Bao's riding and shooting skills are also very good!"

These two people sang and encouraged Xiaobao to ride and shoot, wanting to test his proficiency.Let's see how good he is in literature and martial arts, so that he can be liked by the emperor.

The two of them are also rivals, and they didn't expect such a tacit understanding in cooperation, but it's a pity that Xiaobao doesn't like this.

"Thank you two brothers for your love. I don't hunt. You can play by yourself! Don't worry about me!"

Xiao Bao waved behind him, "Come here! Spread the blanket, light the insect repellent incense, and bring out all my candied fruit and snacks."

The eunuchs and guards didn't need Xiaobao to order more, they moved very quickly, and spread the blanket in just a few breaths.

In the woods, the sun cast a beam of light, and Xiao Bao stepped forward and sat under the beam of light.The fluffy blanket reflected the soft light, and Xiaobao poured tea with his head down, like a little fairy boy who suddenly appeared in the forest.

Very carefree, very at ease.

Hong Xi and Hong Yu: "..."

Hongxi came back to his senses and sighed: "Xiaobao, quickly put these away and let the emperor know, I'm afraid it will be bad for you."

Kang Bao was not surprised, "Hey, what's wrong with this? Today is not the time for the officers and soldiers of the Eight Banners to practice. Everyone is walking around leisurely. What's the matter with Xiao Bao sitting here drinking tea and having a snack?"

Kang Bao rode on the horse, called Xiaobao's guards to guard Xiaobao, and then urged Hongxi Hongyu to get on the horse quickly, and it would be time for lunch if there was any delay.

Hong Xi and Hong Yu thought about it, then got on their horses and ignored Xiao Bao.

A child who couldn't raise his fighting spirit even after being stimulated by them, he was spoiled and spoiled, he loved leisure and didn't work hard.He can be liked by the emperor, probably because he can talk to please the emperor!

Hmph, nothing special.

Hongxi and Hongyu looked down on Xiaobao's lazy appearance, and their impression of him was slightly worse.

Little Baole couldn't let them misunderstand, sitting in the woods, drinking tea and resting, he didn't know how comfortable it was.

Kang Bao spent the whole morning with Hong Xi and the others, brought the hare he had brought, and led his younger brother back to his tent for lunch.

At the entrance of the tent, Kang Bao handed the hare to the eunuchs and guards to take care of, and then stood at the entrance of the tent talking with his younger brother.

"Tell me about you, what's the point of going to the woods to bask in the sun? The ground is damp and the cold is heavy, go find the emperor!"

Kang Bao teased Xiao Bao, "I see that the emperor is free, so hurry up and hug the emperor's thigh. If you get the Tao quickly, I will follow suit."

Xiao Bao sneered, "It is said that one person can ascend to the sky, and I have achieved the Tao, so what are you?"

"As long as you can ascend to heaven, I can be your chicken and dog!"

Xiao Bao squinted at him, really couldn't stand this brother, and had no sense of shame.

"Honghui, you have great ambitions!"

The emperor lifted the curtain and walked out of the tent.

Kang Bao Xiaobao hurriedly greeted the emperor, and Kang Bao carefully asked: "Your Majesty, why are you here? Is there anyone else in the tent besides you?"

Seeing Kang Bao's nervous look, the emperor thought it was funny.

"The world is so big, could it be that the king's land, I can't go anywhere? Why are you nervous, how about someone in the tent? What if there is no one?"

Kang Bao said: "I would be a little ashamed if there were other people in the tent. If it's just you, then there's nothing to be ashamed of! We are our own family, and I'm a grandson, so I'm not afraid of grandpa's jokes!"

There was no one else in the tent, the eunuchs were driven away by the emperor, and the guards stood guard from a distance, Kang Bao and Xiao Bao didn't notice it.

The emperor deliberately said: "There are people in the tent, there are so many! I step out with one foot, and I step out with eight feet. How can there be less people around me?"

Kang Bao covered his face and rubbed his hands, his ears were a little red.

After rubbing it a few times, he put his hand down, and the redness in his ears disappeared.

The emperor was amazed, "Are you just being ashamed for a short while? Are you shameless?"

"Hi! Look at what you said, I can be a chicken and a dog, can I have face?"

emperor:"……"

I have to admit that the two children of the fourth family are amazing.

The emperor shook his head and laughed, "Okay, let's all come in! There is no one else in the tent, Kang Bao, you don't have to be ashamed. I have free time today, so I came to see Xiaobao, but I didn't expect him to be away."

Xiao Bao hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, why didn't you send someone to find me? I would like to play with you, but not with my brother."

Kang Bao dismantled his desk, "What do we call playing together? I'll go hunting, and you'll enjoy the sun and have tea in the back! Have we played together yet?"

Kang Bao was very familiar with himself, and he even showed off the prey he had caught to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, grandson, I hunted casually today, and I killed more than a dozen rabbits. Would you like to eat here today? We will make roasted rabbits and stir-fried rabbit meat for you!"

The emperor smiled and said: "Okay! I will also taste the filial piety of my grandson!"

Xiao Bao and Kang Bao personally boiled water for the emperor to make tea. The emperor looked at Kang Bao with interest in his eyes.

"It's a pity before, I didn't know you were so funny. Tomorrow, you and Xiaobao can come to my place and stay with me!"

Kang Bao smiled and said, "Of course it's good to be with you! But I'm not the same as Xiao Bao. He got your love because of his cuteness. I rely on my talent. Whether I study or practice martial arts, they are all top-notch. You have to make this point clear to others! I am with you because you appreciate me! It is because you cherish talents!"

The emperor laughed and scolded: "Slick tongue, such a thick skin, I will let you, Ama, take care of you in a while!"

Xiaobao found the people who served the emperor, and asked his own guards to take care of the rabbit quickly, so as not to delay the emperor's meal.

At noon, the emperor stayed in Kang Bao Xiaobao's tent, and the three grandparents had dinner together.

After eating quietly, the emperor asked Xiaobao, what they said and did when he went out with Hongxi and the others in the morning.

Xiao Bao and Kang Bao didn't say what Hong Xi and Hong Yu said, they only said that they hunted together, Xiao Bao didn't like it, and sat alone in the woods to play.

The emperor nodded and said nothing else.He won't just listen to one side of the story, Xiaobao Kangbao doesn't say anything, he has other ways to find out.

After eating Kang Baoxiao's rabbit meat, the emperor went back to continue his work, but this time he didn't bring Xiaobao.

For several days in a row, the emperor didn't call Xiaobao over, as if his love for Xiaobao had expired.

The emperor praised Kang Bao for being interesting before, but there is no more to this matter.

The fourth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother breathed a sigh of relief, Xiaobao is the second son, so it doesn't matter how much the emperor hurts.

Kang Bao is the eldest son, and the emperor loves him too much, that is a political signal.

The hunt was coming to an end soon, and the emperor ordered people to prepare a banquet to bid farewell to the princes of Mongolia.

At the banquet, there are not only delicious food and wine, but also singing and dancing performances.

When the interest comes, Mongolian princes and nobles will also wrestle with the Eight Banners. Every time this part comes, the atmosphere will be more enthusiastic.

The same is true for this banquet. The bonfire is burning, and the night is as bright as day.

Mongolian princes and nobles send their own tribe's warriors, or their favorite children, and let them go up to perform, which can not only add to the fun, but also show off the limelight.

Hongxi sat behind the crown prince and glanced at the Mongolian prince.

The prince noticed it and asked casually, "What are you looking at?"

Hongxi smiled and said, "No, just take a look."

He still didn't believe that the emperor would like a little waste who likes to bask in the sun and eat snacks.

The emperor likes people who are smart, self-disciplined, and brave. Anyway, he doesn't like Xiaobao's lazy, muscular slob.

He wants to try Xiaobao to see if he is really clumsy or a fool.

Not far away, a Mongolian prince from Mobei pushed his youngest son out.

"Your Majesty, I'm not boasting. My youngest son has been extraordinary in martial arts since he was a child. He is very talented. In our place, children who are three or five years older than him can't beat him."

The emperor smiled and nodded, and praised a few words casually.

The Mongolian prince supported his son's shoulders and said with a smile: "I heard that the emperor brought several grandchildren this time. I wonder which one of the grandchildren would like to try? My youngest son just turned ten years old this year."

Hong Xi, Hong Yu, and Kang Bao are about the same age, and Xiao Bao will soon be ten years old.

Everyone's eyes couldn't help turning to Xiaobao who was behind the fourth elder brother.
