The Palm Jade of the Red Chamber

The earthquake was erratic, the emperor and the ministers were too busy to touch the ground, the houses around the capital suffered heavy losses, the people suffered heavy casualties, even the ministers in the court suffered countless casualties, the positions were vacant, and the manpower was insufficient... These things were all helped by women. Those who didn't make it all stayed in the tent peacefully, and went to talk with the Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces or pray in front of the Buddha every day.

The most they can do is to donate their gold and silver jewelry to disaster relief.

[How is the situation outside? 】Xiaobai often went out to check in the past few days, and Daiyu could only learn about the situation outside from Xiaobai.

[There are countless casualties. ] Xiaobai shook his tail.

Daiyu frowned, Xiaobai jumped onto Daiyu's lap, tilted her head, and said, "Things in the world are impermanent, and there are only so many things you can do as a woman in the inner courtyard of the palace. These are enough for the doctors in the medical center to make outpatient visits and dispense medicines. 】

[These things I did were just for peace of mind and to accumulate blessings for the children, but when I think of how many children will be homeless in this disaster, there is always a breath in my heart that cannot be dissipated. 】In the tent, the prince was leading the fourth elder brother. The prince's small face was full of sadness that shouldn't belong to his age. Daiyu sighed and called out: "Your Highness, come to Concubine Xi."

The little prince hugged the fourth elder brother and rubbed against Daiyu, looking up at Daiyu with his little head up.Daiyu stretched out her hand to hug the fourth elder brother, let the little prince sit in front of her, and asked, "What are you worried about, Your Highness?"

The little prince pursed his lips, held the fourth elder brother's hand with his little hand, thought for a while, and then said: "I went to see the scene outside, there were crying everywhere, and the collapsed house, Huang Ama said, those people They all lost their homes and their loved ones.”

"Is His Highness afraid?"

The little prince nodded, and then shook his head again: "At first I was afraid, the natural disaster was really terrible, even Huang Ama said that in front of the natural disaster, he was as insignificant as dust, but after the natural disaster, looking at the emperor Ama is tired from running around, and I am not afraid at once, the sky is far away from me, but Huang Ama is very close to me." The little prince's eyes were bright, but they dimmed again in the next moment, "Mother Xi, concubine Xi, Will I also become like Huang Ama in the future?" With doubts in his eyes, the emperor took the two princes with him, and took them to see the appearance of the disaster and the people. This is their life. This is the first time in the world, and it is also the first time they have faced such a disaster.

From being afraid at the beginning to following the emperor's side and seeing their father's resolute actions, the hearts of the two children gradually calmed down, but at the same time they were also thinking that if they were themselves, they would be like Huang Ama. Is it generally handled safely and quickly?

Daiyu looked at the little prince with a smile, stretched out her hand to touch the little prince's head, and said with a smile, "Your Highness shouldn't ask Concubine Xi this question."

"Then who should I ask?" The little prince tilted his head, eyes full of confusion.

"Ask Your Highness yourself." Daiyu said, "Does Your Highness have the confidence to become a person like the Emperor?"

The little prince squeezed the fourth elder brother's hand, and the fourth elder brother happily let the elder brother hold it. His big eyes blinked and looked at his elder brother and mother. After the little prince finished squeezing the fourth elder brother's hand, he went to pinch his flesh again His little face finally seemed to have figured it out, his brows stretched out, and the confident light in his eyes slowly overflowed: "This is inevitable!" He is the son of Huang Ama, the prince, and the future monarch of this country. , he will definitely not lose to Huang Ama.

"Well, Concubine Ximu also believes so." Daiyu stuffed the fourth elder brother back into the arms of the little prince, and said, "But now, our Highness needs to help Concubine Xi take good care of my younger brother. The concubine is going to prepare food for you Huang Ama and Grandma Huang."

"I will take good care of my younger brother." The little prince hugged the fourth elder brother and raised it high. Although he was not strong enough and his arms were not long enough, the fourth elder brother still smiled cheerfully and was very supportive.

Daiyu left Nanny Li and Bailing here to look after the two children, and took Xueyan and Nanny Gui to the temporary kitchen. Due to the busy relationship, he became haggard. Even Xiaozhuang, who was in the back tent, also lost weight because of worrying about the affairs of the previous dynasty. Daiyu had nothing else to do except take care of the two children, so she changed her ways Cooking food and taking care of the bodies of the three giants in the palace.

Anyway, this is what she is best at.

Kangxi and the minister finished discussing the matter, and when they were all gone, he rubbed his brows tiredly. In a month, the earthquake happened again and again, with different sizes. The people had already made arrangements, but this time the loss was heavy. It will take some time to deal with it, and with the rumors spreading, it's a headache to think about it.

"Your Majesty, the snow geese next to Concubine Xi have brought over food." Liang Jiugong came in and reported.

The corners of Kangxi's mouth rose, with a smile in his eyes: "Send it in."

Xueyan came in with a small basket and bowed to Kangxi: "My maidservant greets the emperor, and the empress has prepared millet porridge and ginseng fried belly slices for the emperor. The emperor has an upset stomach these few days. The empress said that the emperor will not eat it for the next few days." It's too greasy to eat, it's better to be light."

The millet porridge is golden in color, with lilies in it, dotted with white, and the ginseng goji roasted tripe juice is rich and fragrant, and the smell makes people appetite. Kangxi sandwiched a piece of tripe, delicious, and took another sip of millet porridge, After taking a bite, the whole stomach warmed up: "What is your mother doing now?"

"Your Majesty brought His Highness the Crown Prince and Fourth Elder Brother to accompany the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager to have dinner together." Xueyan replied.

"I haven't visited her for a few days, what has she been doing recently?" Kangxi asked, since the accident until now, he hasn't visited those women in the harem for a long time.

"The empress woke up in the morning, and she took the fourth elder brother to greet the empress dowager and the empress dowager. They talked with her for a while, and there were two hours, and then they did something with Niu Yulu in the tent The needleworker took the fourth elder brother for a lunch break after lunch, took the fourth elder brother for a walk outside the tent when she woke up, and then went to copy the scriptures, and when it was time for dinner, she went to prepare dinner to accompany the empress dowager Have dinner with the empress dowager," Xueyan reported her master's daily schedule without leaving a trace.

Kangxi asked about the situation of the youngest son, and Xueyan also reported them one by one. After Kangxi had finished eating, the questions were almost finished. Xueyan packed up the bowls and chopsticks and took them back. When she was full, her stomach felt better. Kangxi picked up the memorial and read it. After a while, his brows became more and more wrinkled.
