[Qing Chuan] The Empress Dowager Raising Cubs Daily

"Pfft—!" Qiqige spewed out all the tea in one sip, and choked herself half to death by the way: "Cough cough cough cough, you...you say?"

The maids who were waiting on the side hurriedly gathered around.

They either patted Qiqige on the back, or offered towels with both hands, or quickly removed all the refreshments from a table and replaced them with new ones.

Little Kangxi was very calm: "My son said 20 taels."

Qiqige opened her almond-shaped eyes, looked at Little Kangxi without blinking, and murmured repeatedly: "20 taels... just that thermometer?"

Little Kangxi nodded again.

Qiqige sat in the chair blankly, as if silver rain began to rain in her mind: "20 taels, 20 taels, how could they say it?"

Little Kangxi echoed: "Yes."

He also felt the same way. Fortunately, Ama in Xiluntu didn't bite his teeth and bought it and sent it in. If it was sent in... Hehe.

Xiluntu who returned home: "...Ajiu!"

He rubbed his eyes, and rubbed his eyes again.

Sirentu stared fixedly at a certain place in the room.

He slapped himself severely, and the servants who served beside the general of the movement were also startled.

it hurts!it hurts!It hurts!

Xilentu sniffled, and big tears rolled down his cheeks.

His fingers began to tremble.

Xiluntu cried and said, "Ama!? Didn't you say you didn't want to buy it yesterday? Why did you buy it back today?"

"You have the nerve to say it!" Chang Adai, the father of Xilentu, kicked his son's ass with a dark face.

Xilentu was beaten yesterday and kicked today.

He jumped up with a groan, almost breaking out in cold sweat from the pain.Xiluntu grinned his teeth, took several breaths, and looked at his Ama with aggrieved eyes: "What's going on?"

"Why didn't you say yesterday that the emperor wanted it?"

"Hey? How do you know, Ama?"

"No matter how I know, it's just that you are stupid or not?" Chang Adai kicked his son's ass again, thinking that his son is too stupid: "Is what you want and what the emperor wants are the same thing?" ? You must know that the emperor wants it, you, Ama, and I paid that money yesterday—at most, I will keep you there.”

This time, Sirentu didn't feel any pain.

He stared at the thermometer worth 20 taels, his eyes empty.

"Hey!" Chang Adai narrowed his eyes and looked at his son, "You don't think that I will really suppress you, kid?"

"It's not the problem... just buy it back for what!?"

"Of course I want you to take it into the palace tomorrow and present it to the emperor!"

"But……"

"No, but." The 20 taels is more than half of the savings of his Baylor Mansion, and Chang Adai's heart aches when he thinks about it.

"But--"

"What else are you?" Chang Adai's face darkened, and he rolled up his sleeves, hoping that Xi Luntu would give him another beep, and he would stop him.

"But..." Xiluntu cried bitterly, "When my son reported it to the emperor today, the emperor said that only fools would buy this thing..."

Chang Adai: "...fool?"

Xiluntu: "My son doesn't want to be a fool...QAQ"

The two father and son looked at each other, and the atmosphere was extremely awkward.

When Baylor's mansion was in chaos, Qiqige in the Compassionate Ning Palace nodded repeatedly: "That's right, that's right, the one who bought this is... wait a minute."

Her eyes lit up, and a thought flashed through her mind.

Qiqige picked up the tea brought up again by the palace servants, and tentatively said, "Then... can we make it and sell it?"

Little Kangxi laughed out loud.

A blush rose on Qiqige's cheeks, and seeing Xiao Kangxi laughing non-stop, her expression turned from embarrassment to anger.

Little Kangxi stopped laughing very winkingly.

He quickly told Qi Qige all the guesses of the three people: "...In short, the foreign goods store is not necessarily selling this item at a high price, but to improve the grade of its own shop."

Qiqige was thoughtful, and then applauded enthusiastically.

Little Kangxi coughed a little shyly, and said angrily: "When I grow up, I must cultivate a lot of talents, so that the Europeans can see how powerful our Qing Dynasty is!"

Qiqige applauded vigorously.

She praised enthusiastically: "Good! Our little emperor is the best!"

Little Kangxi's cheeks flushed slightly.

He coughed to cover up, and retorted slowly: "I will be proud of the emperor's mother who praised me like this."

"Then do you like it?"

"...I like it." Xiao Kangxi thought for a while, but still blushed.

"That's it." Qiqige nodded happily, and then added another sentence of praise: "Our emperor is awesome!"

"Emperor lady—!"

"Our emperor is studious and thoughtful, and sets an example. He is hardworking and frugal..." Qiqige looked at Xiao Kangxi blushing, and she was more and more happy when she said it.

Little Kangxi literally blushed and ran away.

When he returned to Qianqing Palace, he immediately explained the matter.For example, after knowing the principle of thermal expansion and cold contraction, Xiao Kangxi ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to ask them to restructure and make something light and compact with the same effect.

Lightweight, compact yet effective.

The minister in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was blinded by the request, not to mention what is the use of measuring temperature?Worried, he turned around and summoned the principals to discuss it, and the faces of the principals were also very strange.

One of the principals replied cautiously: "The temperature changes in the four seasons are the laws between the heaven and the earth. How can people check it?"

Little Kangxi asked Chang Ning to go.

Then the top and bottom officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were stunned. They looked at the thermometer in bewilderment, and then looked at the principle of thermal expansion and cold contraction that the fifth elder brother showed them, their minds were all muddled.

So... isn't it really a fairy art?

Chang Ning put the glazed cup aside, and after feeling the surprised, shocked and even terrified eyes of several principals, he pouted dissatisfiedly: "I said it's not a fairy art, why don't you try it yourself?"

Masters, you look at me, and I look at you.

The chief of Qingfeng Division with the least seniority was pushed to the front, so he bit the bullet and did it himself.

All are their own operations, untouched by anyone.

His jaw almost dropped to the ground when he watched the clear water go upstream.

There was a commotion in the House of Internal Affairs.

Many pen post styles and subordinate coatings rushed forward, and tried them one by one.

That's how people think.

If he was confined to one world all the time, he wouldn't see any problems.And once the limitation is punched in, once the imprisoned thought walks out of the gate, it will be difficult to shrink back.

Except for a few old and rigid people who stayed far away, other officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs have already begun to rub their hands.Especially when the key words 20 taels and Europa people came out, raging flames burst out from behind everyone.

Barbarians can do it, but we can't! ?

This is impossible!For a while, the House of Internal Affairs was in full swing. No matter in the government office or looking back, everyone was thinking about how to make a more efficient, more accurate, and better-use thermometer.

On the other hand, Qiqige also rarely prepared a party.

As the empress dowager, apart from interacting with the concubines, she occasionally had to deal with the wives of Fujin outside.

Among them, Prince Jian Fujin, Duanmin's biological mother and Qiqige's eldest sister had the most contacts, followed by the princesses who were married but still stayed in Beijing.

Compared with the big sister, Qiqige is more enthusiastic about the two daughters in name.She ordered someone to take Prince Jian Fujin to the wing room to talk to Bo Wenger Fujin and Princess Duanmin, and then called the palace servants to bring new snacks: "Come, come, try it! These are made by the Empress Dowager herself." made."

The three stood up together: "Thank you, Empress Dowager/Empress Dowager."

Qiqige waved her hand: "You three, don't be so polite, give it a try~!"

Princess Joo Chia, the youngest, picked up the fork.

Just picking up the little fork, she couldn't help but take a second look, only to see that the little fork was made in the shape of a kitten, delicate and cute, full of childlike fun.

"The fork... so cute."

"Is that so? This is the pattern drawn by Queen Mother." Qiqige held up Xiao Hei who was passing by, "Is it exactly the same?"

"Meow ouch."

"Little Heihei let my mother kiss me!" Qiqige stroked her fluffy belly and rubbed her swarthy little feet one by one: "Xiaohei's feet are black, Xiaobai and Xiaoju's feet are pink, especially cute!"

Princess Joo Chia looked at the kittens curiously.

She picked up a kitten fork and inserted a piece of snack into her mouth, the mouth was glutinous.

The soft and glutinous Q bomb of mochi, the sweet honey soup, and the fragrant soybean powder or sesame powder.The method of mochi is simple, but the taste is incredible.The sweet taste spread between her lips and teeth, and at the same time, it seemed that an incredible force emerged, gently soothing her worries and anxiety.

Princess Roujia wowed: "It's delicious."

Princess Heshun also tried a piece. It was a bit like rice cake, but it was stickier and sweeter than rice cake. It tasted unexpectedly good.

"and this."

"This...huh?" The mouth is soft and glutinous, but the inside is salty and crispy.Fried fritters, fried eggs, peanuts, and even the aroma of stewed pork. Obviously soft and crispy are diametrically opposed flavors, but at this moment they are very compatible.

Princess Heshun's eyes lit up.

Even the most reserved and prudent Princess Kechun cast a curious look, and couldn't help picking one up to taste.

Have another cup of warm milk tea.

Whether it is salty or sweet, as long as it is delicious food, it can always touch everyone's heart.

Seeing everyone relax, Qiqige also got to the point.

Her eyes fell on Princess Roujia: "How is life in the palace? Is the forehead treating you well?"

Qiqige looked at the little girl with an apple face, feeling sore in her heart.

Among the three people present, Princess Kechun is the oldest, she is only 20 years old now, followed by Princess Heshun, who is 16 years old, and the youngest is Princess Roujia, who is only 13 years old this year, and she was only a junior high school student in her previous life age.

Unlike the stabilization of the situation in the middle and late Qing Dynasty, when women’s marriage age was gradually delayed until they were fifteen to twenty years old or even later, in the early Qing Dynasty, early marriage at the age of twelve or thirteen was common.

But there are very few people like Princess Joo Chia.

She was only seven years old when Shunzhi got married in 15 years, so... no!The whole thing is a child bride.

Princess Kechun was thoughtful.

She smiled softly, "Roujia is about to get married, right?"

Princess Joo Chia was red up to her ears.

She replied in a soft voice: "Efu is very kind to my minister, and the prince and Fujin are also very gentle to my minister."

Seeing her peace of mind, it was a sincere compliment, and the hearts of several people were also relieved.Princess Heshun leaned over, murmured and chewed her ears with her younger sister, seeing Princess Roujia's pitiful look with widened eyes, fidgeting, and flushed face, she knew that what Princess Heshun said basically meant the need blocked content.

Qiqige turned to look at Princess Kechun again: "What about you?"

Princess Kechun's smile could be seen with reluctance: "Eufu has always been considerate to his sons and ministers."

Before Qiqige asked, Princess Kechun changed the subject.

There was a bit of mystery on her face: "Your Majesty, do you know that something big has happened in the capital!"

Kiki Gordon suddenly became interested.

She was quite surprised before that there was a lot of trouble in the House of Internal Affairs this time, but the Empress Dowager pretended not to know, and Xiao Kangxi didn't say that someone was obstructing it, but now it seems that there is something else?

Qiqige thought for a while: "But it has something to do with the four ministers?"

Princess Kechun raised her eyebrows in surprise, then nodded: "Exactly."
