[Qing Chuan] The Empress Dowager Raising Cubs Daily

Kiki Gotten stood up.

Immediately afterwards, she staggered, her eyes turned black and her knees felt weak, her knees that had been kneeling for a long time without blood circulation suddenly congested, her legs instantly went numb and numb, and her head was even more empty.

Uzhina supported Qiqige with quick eyes and hands.

Qiqige quickly took a few deep breaths, and when the black mist in front of her eyes faded, she immediately walked to the fainted boy, and waved away the concubines and servants who surrounded her.

Qiqige laid the boy flat on the ground, then checked his pupils, breathing and pulse.After confirming that the three were all right, she pinched him hard and patted the child's cheek lightly at the same time: "Wake up, wake up!"

A series of actions are very fast.

The boy woke up faintly, and wanted to sit up the moment he saw Qiqige.

Qiqige held him down.

At the same time, she told Uzhina: "Go get a cup of honey water, hurry up!"

Uzhina responded urgently.

After a while, she hurried back with honey water, Qiqige motioned the child to sit up slowly, and then handed the honey water to him: "Come, drink slowly."

The boy answered in a low voice.

After drinking a glass of honey water, his cheeks and lips were a little more bloody.Holding the cup tightly with both hands, he stumbled and said, "My lord, my lord, thank you, thank you Queen Mother."

Qiqige was taken aback.

Then she belatedly remembered that the boy in front of her was probably Xiao Kangxi's brother.

Well, but who is it?

Qiqige looked through the memory carefully, but she couldn't find the boy, insisting on the child's words, it seems that there is a girl?

The empress dowager arrived in a hurry.

His calm water eyes passed over everyone, and finally fell on the calm Qiqige.Qiqige walked back to the front of the mourning hall. Just when she was about to kneel down and continue to watch, the voice of the empress dowager sounded next to her ear: "Qiqige, go back and rest for a while."

"……Yes?"

"Tomorrow is the enthronement ceremony of the third elder brother, you have to keep your spirits up, understand?" The empress dowager urged again.

The concubines in the mourning hall bowed their heads deeply.

Their eyes were full of ups and downs, but they quickly fell silent.

Qiqige agreed.

At this moment, she had been on guard for more than twelve hours, almost the moment she entered the dormitory, Qiqige's eyes went dark.

Her predecessor's body was too weak. Although she had a good foundation, the torment for more than half a year also made her very weak.Qiqige could still grit her teeth and persevere when she was outside, but she couldn't bear it anymore when she returned to Kunning Palace.

The maids hurriedly sent her to the imperial concubine's couch.

With her hair bun loosened and her shoes and socks off, Qiqige leaned on the imperial concubine bed with a tired face and drank a cup of honey water to feel more comfortable.

Of course, at first the maid was planning to deliver ginseng soup, but was stopped by Qiqige.Supplements that are too powerful are not suitable for me, and American ginseng, which is more suitable among ginseng, has not been discovered yet, right?It's better to use some tonic and tonic medicines, but these have to wait for the imperial doctor to see them.

As for now.

Qiqige felt that the bigger reason should be that she was too hungry, and just as her thoughts fell, she heard Uzhina softly said: "Master, you haven't eaten all day, do you want something from the dining room? Continue to cry... If you don't eat anymore... I'm afraid your body won't be able to hold on!"

Of course!

Qiqige cheered up: "It's getting late..."

A look of disappointment flashed in Uzhina's eyes.

I thought that the master seemed to have changed a little bit, but I didn't expect it to be useless?

She was worried and anxious.

Just as Uzhina was thinking about what to do, the voice in her ear brightened her eyes.

"Let's prepare some casually in the dining room." Qiqige said with a smile.

It is impossible not to eat.

What Qiqige never expected was that just after she finished speaking, the movements of the surrounding palace people stopped at the same time, and then one or two choked up their voices.

Qiqige was dumbfounded.

But soon Uzhina came to her senses first, wiped away her tears vigorously, and shouted sobbingly: "Master, you finally, finally figured it out."

Uzhina woke up and laughed with tears in her eyes.

Then she remembered that it was the time of mourning and she couldn't laugh. The round apple-like face didn't know which expression to maintain. It was twisted and weird, and it looked completely funny.

Qiqige looked at Uzhina for a long time, and then looked around at the excited palace people around her, and couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.

All the minds of the previous life fell on Emperor Shunzhi and Empress Xiaoxian, so did he ignore those people who were always by his side to protect him?

Qiqige felt sore in her heart.

She gently took Uzhina's hand, then raised her eyes and looked around: "Why are you crying? Our good days are ahead."

Uzhina nodded heavily, wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh.

After a while, she exhorted: "Master, you can't say this outside..."

Qiqige nodded.

Uzhina breathed a sigh of relief, of course the most important thing now is that the master is willing to eat.

Thinking of this, she is full of fighting spirit.

What to use casually?How is that possible! ?Uzhina hurriedly withdrew from the main hall and chose to pick up the meal in person.

Uzhina just stepped back.

Tana came forward with another group of maids. Qiqige sat up slightly, and let the palace maids remove her makeup and wash her hands.

A court lady fetched a towel and soaked it in the warm water sprinkled with flower petals.A layer of rose soap should be rubbed on the first towel. After rubbing until foaming, it can be gently applied to Qiqige's face and hands. Then take another basin of clean water and clean it with the same steps. The towel wipes clean little by little.

Qiqige: ………

The whole process seems to be more complicated than my previous makeup removal process. As for the cleanliness, I can only say that fortunately, today's cosmetics are all pure natural materials, mainly water-soluble, so there is no need to worry about not being able to remove them cleanly.

We'll talk about these things later.

Now Qiqige's latest reward is her stomach. She is hungry and eagerly looking forward to finally seeing Uzhina who has returned.

The round table was soon filled to the brim.

In addition to the delicate millet porridge and nine kinds of pickles in different flavors, the dining room also prepared brightly colored stir-fried seasonal vegetables, attractively scented green pepper and vegetable meatloaf, steaming pumpkin tofu soup, vinegar Cabbage and more.

Although it is all vegetarian dishes, it also makes people's index fingers wide open.

Qiqige squinted her eyes after taking a bite, and it really tasted very good.She regained her energy, picked up the millet porridge and took a sip, and the warm porridge poured into her stomach, as if taking away all the tiredness in her body.

Qiqige breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at the dishes on the table, she finally felt that she had come back to life.The taste of these seemingly simple dishes is not simple. The sweet taste makes Qiqige want to swallow her tongue!

The stomach that had been barren for a long time also came to life.

My stomach doesn't grow up so much when I don't have a meal, but after I start eating, my stomach also becomes noisy in turn, and I can't wait to take away the portion I haven't got for half a year.

Qiqige stopped the tableware restrainedly.

Even so, she drank two full bowls of porridge, which was enough to make Uzhina and the other court ladies happy.Uzhina couldn't control the tears again, muttering to herself: "That's great, that's great!"

Tana's eyes were also red.

It's just that she was calmer than Uzhina, bumped Uzhina's arm to make her pay attention to her words, then ordered the palace staff to remove the remaining meals, and then asked softly: "Master, can you go back to the bedroom to take a nap?" ?”

Uzhina nodded repeatedly.

Looking at the two pairs of passionate eyes, Qiqige felt sour again.

Perhaps it is the feelings left over from the previous life.

She blinked to suppress her tears, looked at the uneasy two and said with a smile: "That's right."

Uzhina and Tanaqi breathed a sigh of relief.

The two lightly supported Qiqige to walk in, acting cautiously as if Qiqige was fragile porcelain.

Qiqige was very helpless, and at the same time understood the reason for their worries.She thought for a while, and then added with a smile: "It's cold today, let the dining room prepare a bird's nest tomorrow morning, add a handful of white fungus, a few red dates, and a little rose sauce."

"For breakfast, let the dining room prepare vegetarian pasta. It should be cooked with mushroom soup. As for the filling, use carrots, cabbage and mushrooms, all shredded and then add capers."

"In addition, let the dining room prepare some snacks that can fill you up. They should have less debris and can be stored on your body... how about red date cake?"

Speaking of this, Qiqige thought of the child who fainted from hypoglycemia before, and she added: "Let's make the dining room more delicate and cute, and give it to a few elder brothers and princesses tomorrow morning, and let them take it with them. Fill your belly."

Make more requests and see if they still have time to think about it?

Qiqige was talking endlessly, but Uzhina and Tana were stunned. They foolishly helped their master into the bedroom, and they didn't wake up until Qiqige lay down.

Qiqige turned her back and burst out laughing.

Uzhina and Tana finally woke up now, they blushed and shouted angrily: "Master—"

Qiqige turned over.

She yawned tiredly, and after she was covered with the quilt, she kept dozing off: "What's wrong?"

Master wants to sleep.

Uzhina and Tana put all their hearts on their master, how could they disturb Qiqige's rest at this moment?They took two steps back with gentle expressions, and only tiptoed back after their master fell into a deep sleep.

Except for the slightly shorter time, Qiqige slept pretty well.Of course, there is no way to do this. After all, today is the emperor's enthronement ceremony, and Qi Qige, as the aunt, must attend.

Getting out of bed is a big problem.

Today is only the ninth day of the first lunar month, it is freezing and snowy outside, even if a charcoal fire basin is lit in the room, it is difficult for Qiqige to leave the quilt.Wrapped in the quilt, she remained motionless like a cocoon, and it took her a while to pull herself together, and reluctantly moved to the side of the bed.

It is still very difficult to stick out your feet and put on your shoes.

The appearance of the master suffering bitterness and hatred is really funny, Uzhina happily stuffed the stove into the master's arms, coaxing and persuading: "Master, the bird's nest with rose sauce, tremella, red dates, and bird's nest that you want is ready. It is warming on the stove now. After you change your clothes, you will definitely be able to warm yourself with a drink."

With the temptation of snacks, Qiqige reluctantly got up.

With a stove in her arms, she was served by the palace servants and drank the bird's nest slowly. The bird's nest was thick and delicate, with soft red dates, smooth white fungus, and finally sweet rose sauce, which was full of flavor.

After drinking the bird's nest, breakfast was served.

The round table was quickly filled with exquisite food. In addition to the three delicacies I ordered last night, there were also soft and sweet small flower rolls with bean paste, soft and glutinous yam cakes, crispy and delicious almond tile cakes, The sweet and sour rose mincemeat cake, the fragrant green bean tofu and miscellaneous grains siu mai, nine different cold vegetables and a cup of yam glutinous rice porridge.

It was so rich that even Qiqige was a little surprised.

Tana snorted softly: "It's just some things that dogs look down on people, but now they're coming together."

One emperor and one courtier.

In the past, Qiqige's position was shaken, her character was cowardly and small, and even the treasure book of palace power was taken back, and the palace officials who watched the dishes were not paying attention to her.

And now the death of Emperor Shunzhi has also cleared the cloud over Qiqige's head. The past dynasties have ruled the world with filial piety. Wasted queen.

Although Jin's decree to be the empress dowager has not yet been issued, the palace people have changed their minds, and even their own treatment has been quietly upgraded.

Qiqige thought for a while and came back to her senses.

Tana also spoke indignantly about the past evil deeds of the Imperial Dining Room: "Obviously the master was the queen in the past, but in the Imperial Dining Room, she was holding onto Agge and pinching Fujin—"

Ageer Fujin is the daughter of King Borot of Doro County. She has a straightforward personality and belongs to the rare concubine Meng who is more favored by Emperor Shunzhi. , and privately ridiculed her several times.

Tana's dissatisfaction accumulated day by day, and now it finally broke out.Qiqige squeezed the back of Tana's hand, and stopped her complaining words: "It's because Aijia is too weak, and Agger is so dissatisfied with Fujin. As for the people in the imperial dining room..."

Qiqige despised these followers of power.

At the same time, she thought of Xuan Ye, who looked not so strong, and thought of the weak child who fainted, Qiqige frowned slightly: "During this time, pay more attention to the concubines in the harem, as well as Princess Elder Brother, so that you don't get sick. They were wronged."

"My master is kind..."

"It's not kindness. These things are what Aijia should do."

Qiqige shook her head and interrupted Tana's words: "It should be said that the late emperor has just passed away, and people in the palace are in panic. If Ai's family can't come out now, when will they come out?"

As the lord of the first house, he was immersed in sadness and fear all day long.Whether it is Xiaozhuang, or Shunzhi, or Concubine Gongjing, who will be satisfied with himself, how can he convince the public?

Qiqige had to stand up.

It's not that she has much ambition, it's just that Qiqige wants to enjoy her retirement life comfortably, instead of being a doormat, let alone live in anxiety.

Uzhina and Tana were taken aback when they heard that.

The two of them who came back to their senses could not restrain their excitement, their eyes sparkled.They would never allow themselves to drag their master's hind legs, the two of them held their breaths and concentrated on it, they all agreed, and quickly ordered the matter.

As for Kikig.

She got up and sat in front of the dressing table, allowing the palace servants to dress herself up.

The palace people are cautious and careful.

Qiqige first put on a one-piece red satin court skirt, then put on a bright yellow satin embroidered nine-dragon pattern court gown on the outside, then put on a dragon pattern court gown, and finally hung a cassock, and put on a pair of high and low After the women's court boots, the court dress is completed.

It's pretty simple.

What is not simple is makeup, hairstyle and various accessories.

The palace man's movements were very gentle.

The slender fingers tightened the thick black hair little by little, neither making Qiqige feel pain nor letting go easily.

Fortunately, in the early days of the Qing Dynasty, there was no need to have a big winged look. Just wrap your hair behind your head, wear a gold contract full of gems and oriental beads, hang heavy court beads and a collar made of oriental beads, and finally Then put on the hat that makes people's brains sink.

Uzhina and Tana supported Qiqige one by one from left to right. She felt a little heavy when she was sitting. When she stood up and took two steps, Qiqige found that this outfit was a test of her ability to bear weight.

Qiqige walked all the way to the floor-to-ceiling mirror.

When she raised her eyes, she was almost blinded by all kinds of jewels. After blinking her eyes four or five times, Qiqige finally saw her dress clearly, and subconsciously murmured: "Look at Aijia, it looks like a walking jewelry shelf .”
