[Red Mansion+Qing Chuan] The heroine comes from the last days

In a blink of an eye, it is July, and the midsummer is coming to an end, but the heat has not disappeared.

Kangxi was so busy these days that even Jiang Ling was having a hard time, and he would get entangled in some difficult things from time to time, and he didn't even have time to catch his breath.Jiang Ling once asked Kangxi, would he really not be impeached by the courtiers for doing this?Kangxi smiled and said, just don't let them know.What's more, there is no one in the ruling and opposition parties who can compare with Jiang Ling in all matters in the West and Southeast Asia.

It turned out to be one, one, both, no, and yes.

Jiang Ling still remembered the shock she felt when she heard Kangxi say this.

But Emperor Kangxi himself was much more calm than Jiang Ling. At least when he called her to Qianqing Palace or Yangxin Palace, he was upright and righteous.Occasionally, he met some close ministers passing by in a hurry, and Jiang Ling didn't mean to avoid him.After going back and forth, Jiang Ling got used to Kangxi's behavior.Anyway, he is the emperor, so what he says, that's what it is.

After the signing of the border treaty, Kangxi was idle for a while, just before the report from the south arrived, the box of Western envoys had been dealt with, and it happened that the little elder brother was one year old, Kangxi Then I thought about it, I should hold a birthday gift for my little elder brother.

Well, it should be called Seventh Brother now.

But because Seventh Elder Brother is the youngest in the entire Forbidden City, others still call him Little Elder Brother in private.

Seventh elder brother has just turned one year old this year, and is still learning how to speak in a childlike voice, staggering and dragging Jiang Ling's clothes, occasionally sitting in Jiang Ling's arms obediently, watching her deal with those trivial and messy things.For Seventh Brother, there is no more comfortable place than mother's arms. Even in the hottest summer, mother's arms are cool, o(￣v￣)o

Jiang Ling occasionally rubbed his head helplessly and let the nanny take him away, but most of the time, she let him go.

On this day, Jiang Ling had just finished dealing with a bunch of trivial matters at hand, Seventh Brother sat obediently in Jiang Ling's arms, looking at Chief Manager Liang with a pair of round eyes, maintaining an expression of ⊙o⊙.Manager Liang stood in the very center of the hall and reported Kangxi's plan to Jiang Ling:

"Long Live Lord means that since the Chinese New Year, the palace has not been lively for more than half a year. It just so happens that the affairs of Tsarist Russia are settled, and the south side is intensively preparing for the autumn. I am afraid that it will be busy again in two months. Woke up, so I thought about taking advantage of the seventh elder brother's first birthday to call all the clansmen to the palace to have a good reunion. The empress dowager also had this intention, saying, "It has been five or six years in the palace, and there has never been a Such a grand scene' needs to be done in a big way."

Jiang Ling is the queen.Naturally, she was responsible for this so-called big deal.

After Manager Liang finished speaking, Jiang Ling roughly understood what Kangxi meant.She thought about it for a while, and then asked: "Is it going to be on the seventh elder brother's birthday? Or is it going to be postponed a few days earlier or later, to catch up with a ten-day rest?"

Brother Seven couldn't understand what they said, but because his mother was asking the question, he tilted his head again and looked at Jiang Ling with round eyes.

Jiang Ling rubbed the top of his head subconsciously, and continued to ask: "Besides, Brother Qi's first birthday ceremony should be to 'catch the week'? But I don't know if the emperor has any regulations on this?" Inadvertently, I put something inappropriate on the Catch the Zhou Ceremony, and let the little elder brother grab it in his hand, and I am afraid that there will be another chaos.

Manager Liang pondered for a while, then said: "Please wait a moment, Madam." He hurriedly said goodbye and left.Jiang Ling guessed that he should have gone to ask Kangxi.

Seventh elder brother waited for him to go far away, then kicked off two small tiger-toed shoes, stepped on Jiang Ling's knee with his bare feet, clicked twice, and let out a crisp laugh.Jiang Ling held his little arm and said with a light smile, "Why are you so excited today?"

Seventh elder brother still couldn't speak a complete sentence, so he called his mother in a childish voice, and then laughed crisply.

Jiang Ling hugged him, rubbed him, and played with him for a while, then Manager Liang came back in a hurry, and said to Jiang Ling: "Go back to your mother, the emperor said, you don't have to wait until the rest day, you can just wait for the rest day." It was set on the seventh elder brother’s birthday. He also said that there are few things these days, so we might as well give them a day off.”——This is an extra rest day for no reason.

Seventh elder brother still couldn't understand what they were talking about, two small figures reflected in a pair of round eyes.

Jiang Ling looked down at Brother Seven, and his voice became softer: "In that case, let's set it on Brother Seven's birthday."

Manager Liang bowed and said: "Follow the Queen's order."

After speaking, Manager Liang left in a hurry.He wants to go back to Kangxi to restore the order.

Jiang Ling thought about it for a while, then called two female officials to come in, and asked them to report to the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager respectively, asking for their instructions.Although all the affairs in the palace are now handled by Jiang Ling, but this process still needs to go through.

Seventh elder brother sat in Jiang Ling's arms again, playing with her cool fingers.

Jiang Ling rubbed the top of his head, waited for a while, and then the two female officials came back.The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager are all up to Jiang Ling to do it, after all, Jiang Ling is the queen.Jiang Ling pondered for a while, then let them retreat.

"Emiang." Seventh elder brother nestled in her arms, calling in a childish voice.

Jiang Ling hummed softly, carried Seventh Brother into the bedroom, and pondered for a while.Now, there are only a few days left before Seventh Brother's birthday. According to him, it doesn't seem like he wants to simply grab a week and finish the job.But in Seventh Brother's Zhou Catch Ceremony, if the wrong objects are placed, it's no joke.

Seventh elder brother thumped twice in her arms, and called out childishly: "Emiang." A pair of round eyes looked at her.

Ever since he learned to speak, he liked to call Er Niang over and over again.Because he found that as soon as he called Er Niang, Jiang Ling would hug him comfortingly, and occasionally play with him for a while, not as busy as the previous few months, >_

Jiang Ling rubbed him comfortingly again, and said, "Good boy."

Seventh elder brother gave a light yell, then jumped into Jiang Ling's arms twice, nestled in her arms and did not move.The little fingers grabbed her neckline, but there was no hair, t^t, unhappy.

If you don't have Mao Mao to pull, you can only flop around in other places.

Brother Seven was flopping about in her arms, and suddenly found a beautiful round, light blue bead.He stretched out a finger, poked the bead lightly, and the bead turned half a circle, then turned back again.He seemed to have discovered a new continent, poked his little finger, and then poked again, so in the bronze mirror, Jiang Ling could only see Brother Seven nestled in her arms, playing with her pearl earrings.

The bronze mirror was hazy, and could only cast a vague shadow.

Jiang Ling looked at Brother Seven tenderly, and said with a smile, "Did you find a new toy?"

Brother Qi is still poking at that round bead, poking and poking, poking and poking, but he can’t get it off, >_

"Emiang." Seventh elder brother acted softly in Jiang Ling's arms.

Jiang Ling said in a low voice: "Your Ama gave it to me, don't let it be ruined by you playing with it." While talking, she took off one earring and put it in the palm of her hand, letting Seventh Brother poke and play with it. , but he used the other hand to protect it tightly, for fear of being dropped by the child.

Seventh elder brother's little finger was in her palm, poking the light blue pearl, watching it roll around.

Although the south pearl was bigger than other pearls, it still looked very small in Jiang Ling's hand, and it rolled back and forth after a while.Jiang Ling noticed that there were some thin lines on it, like embroidery patterns, spreading on the bead surface.At first, Jiang Ling thought that he had read it wrong, but after looking carefully for a while, he realized that there were indeed some thin lines on it, and he couldn't really see it unless he looked carefully.

It was already night when Kangxi gave this object to her, so Jiang Ling couldn't see these subtle lines clearly.

Usually when dressing up, facing a shadowy bronze mirror, naturally I can't see anything.

Until now, Brother Seven was playing with this South Pearl and rolled the whole pearl in her palm for a week before she noticed the small circle of lines on it, small and small, like a rose flower In the shape of a branch.

This is……

Jiang Ling coaxed Seventh Elder Brother, pointed the South Pearl at the sunlight and looked closely, and sure enough, he saw some very small lines.

"Queen."

A confidant nanny hurried into the room and reported to Jiang Ling: "The Empress Dowager sent someone over to assist the Empress."

When Jiang Ling heard that it was someone from the Empress Dowager's palace, she had no choice but to put back the earrings, and handed Seventh Brother into the hand of the mother, and went to the front to meet people.The seventh elder brother was about to cry when he was hugged by the nanny, followed Jiang Ling, and went outside together.

The person who came was Aunt Su Ma. It is said that the Empress Dowager was still worried and sent her here.

Jiang Ling smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Auntie." She welcomed La Aunt Su Ma into the hall.Aunt Su Ma told Jiang Ling about the empress dowager's instructions, and called two aunts in charge to come in, and together with Jiang Ling, they were preparing for the Zhou Catch Ceremony in a few days. Things, forget about it.

Brother Seven was hugged by Mammy, looked at them from the side, and smiled crisply again.

After discussing with Lagu Su Ma and others for a while, Jiang Ling finalized the plan for the day, and then wrote a post in the name of the queen, inviting all the concubines and others to enter the palace.After finishing writing the ones outside the palace, and then continuing to write the ones inside the palace, Jiang Ling's fingers were a little stiff, and his fingers were a little reddish.

After sending out the post, Jiang Ling sent people to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and told them that they should prepare certain items.

On the list of items to be caught, Jiang Ling still asked Aunt Su Ma for her opinion, to ensure that there would be no mistakes or strange taboos.Because La Aunt Su Ma was sent by the Empress Dowager, she was very concerned about this matter and gave Jiang Ling a lot of good advice.

By the afternoon, Jiang Ling had almost forgotten what happened just now.

A few days later, it was Brother Seven's birthday, which was also Brother Seven's first birthday.

That day the palace was extremely lively, and half of the clan and wives from the Forbidden City had arrived.Perhaps it was because Kangxi granted a one-day holiday, even the outside of the palace was more lively than usual.Because Jiang Ling is the queen and the mother of the seventh elder brother, he took the seventh elder brother to visit the empress dowager and the empress dowager early in the morning, and let the seventh elder brother stay with them for a while.

By the afternoon, almost all the guests had arrived, and the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs had arranged the place.Seventh elder brother was hugged by the female officer in front of the empress dowager, and came to the front to meet the guests.It was also the first time for Jiang Ling to do this kind of thing. Thanks to La Aunt Su Ma who reminded her from time to time, she didn't make any big mistakes.After the meeting, the chief eunuch and a group of people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs began to prepare for the little elder brother's Zhou Catch Ceremony.

Jiang Ling raised her heart to her throat.

These days, she has been worrying about whether there will be something inappropriate among the things waiting for the little elder brother to catch Zhou, such as a needle-prick villain who has committed a taboo.Until this morning, Jiang Ling asked the nuns to search carefully until they confirmed that there was nothing wrong.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone like this, if there is any taboo committed, it cannot be suppressed by an imperial decree.

Her eyes looked around, passing over the guests and people in the palace one by one.As long as there is a slight abnormality, they will order the little elder brother to be brought back.When Seventh Brother stumbled to the middle of those objects, Jiang Ling's heart tightened even more.

1 minutes, 2 minutes, 3 minutes.

Jiang Ling has never felt such a long time, almost like a year.

The little elder brother stumbled and picked in it, but he couldn't see his mother, and he was about to cry again.Suddenly, the little finger touched something cold, and it looked extraordinarily cool at the beginning of July, when the scorching heat still persisted.He subconsciously grabbed the thing, and began to search in the field again, until he saw Jiang Ling sitting high on it, then he stumbled over and threw himself in front of her clothes, rubbing and rubbing.

The chief eunuch at the side hurriedly took out the thing, handed it to Jiang Ling to have a look, and then handed it to the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager to have a look.

It's Kangxi's personal seal, I don't know when it was put in.

Jiang Ling relaxed, hugged the little elder brother in his arms, and rubbed the top of his head.

Seventh elder brother thought that his mother was going to explain something, so he sat obediently in Jiang Ling's arms, opened his round eyes, and looked at the group of people in front of him.But no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like the aunts in charge who usually report things to Yikun Palace simply start to freeze in Jiang Ling's arms.

When the Empress Dowager saw Fang Xiaoyin, she smiled: "This child is quite clever."

A clever sentence drew the curtain for the Zhou Catch Ceremony just now.The guests responded one after another, praising the little elder brother for his dexterity.Jiang Ling nodded to the nuns, and the nuns understood, and asked the chief eunuch and several female officials to take down the objects that were just about to be caught, and let love enter the game.In any case, with so many messy things in front of you, it always makes people feel a little uneasy.

Jiang Ling lowered his head, looked at Brother Seven, put his little hand in his palm again, and breathed a sigh of relief.

A Zhou Catch Ceremony passed without any risk.The days to come will continue as usual.

However, Brother Seven has developed a bad habit since that day. Once in Jiang Ling's arms, he can't control his hand and pokes that round and beautiful bead.

The next day, Jiang Ling still met with those aunts in charge, and made some final explanations for the remaining matters of yesterday.After the aunts in charge left, the little elder brother ran over again, kicked off two small tiger-toed shoes, climbed into Jiang Ling's arms, stretched out a small finger, and started poking Jiang Ling again. earrings, small, round, cool, beautiful beads, o(*≧▽≦*)σ

Jiang Ling rubbed him helplessly, letting him fuss in her arms, leaning on the soft couch again, holding a booklet, flipping through it slowly.

After turning over for a while, she couldn't help but looked down at Brother Seven again. He was still nestled in her mother's arms, poking and poking, poking and poking, the round beads were poked back and forth by him, and when the sun shone, they fell on the ground. casts swaying shadows.Jiang Ling smiled softly, and like last time, disassembled one earring, put it in the palm of his hand, and let Seventh Brother play with it.

The golden sunlight is projected on the bead surface, giving off a subtle luster.

Jiang Ling suddenly remembered that the last time she was in the room, she seemed to see some patterns on the pearl surface, thin and thin, like the shape of a rose flower.

She lifted the bead up, pointed it at the sun, and looked carefully.Last time I was in a hurry, and was interrupted by the nuns again. I only hurriedly recognized the shape of flowers, and it seemed to be the shape of cirrus clouds, but I couldn't recognize what it was.

Jiang Ling thought for a while, then took a piece of white paper, and slowly traced the shape on the paper.

Seventh elder brother looked interesting, so he stopped playing with the beads, nestled in Jiang Ling's arms, half of his small body lay on the table, watching Jiang Ling outline the shape on the beads.Jiang Ling didn't learn to draw, and he wasn't used to brushes, so he didn't look the same after drawing for a while, so he simply took the charcoal pencil he used to draw eyebrows, used it as a pencil, and copied stroke by stroke.

The imitated textures are not so unexpected.

Jiang Ling pondered for a while, then took off the other earring, and placed it side by side with the first one, so that the two patterns were close to each other.This was the first time she took off the two earrings, and it was also the first time she put them side by side, facing the sun, to see the lines on them.

Qiaoqiao made a wrong salary, and said to mow his beetle.The son returned home.Words are like horses.

Strands of entangled patterns, in the sunlight, actually show tiny characters.On the bead on the left, the wrong salary... Yan Mou... the son Yu Gui... Jiang Ling immediately deduced the whole sentence, which is "Qiao Qiao Wrong salary, Yan Mou his son Yu Gui. Yan Mo his horse ".

But those patterns are too weird, winding and winding, like a background wall, hiding the sixteen characters in it.

Moreover, the two beads had to be close together to vaguely distinguish those words.

Jiang Ling looked carefully again, and the bead on the right was engraved with...Jiaochao...Zhai Fu...There is no way to retreat...

It should be "Zhu Yuchaochao. Zhai Fu Yichao. The doctor retired long ago, and the king will not be troubled."

Jiang Ling didn't know whether to be surprised or delighted for a moment. First, she never thought that Kangxi would let someone do miniature carvings here. Second, these words, if she recited them correctly in high school, should imply admiration and thoughtfulness .

These two pearls have been worn on her body for a year, but she has never found anything abnormal.Jiang Ling looked at them for a long time before sighing leisurely, trying to use charcoal to slowly draw those strange patterns on the paper stroke by stroke.

Seeing one of them, Seventh Brother suddenly babbled and poked it with his little finger, making an indistinct syllable.

Jiang Ling looked down at him and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Seventh elder brother thumped twice in Jiang Ling's arms, his round eyes looked at the pattern, and he babbled excitedly.Jiang Ling rubbed the top of his head, sketched some of the lines briefly, and was a little tired, so he put the little elder brother on the soft couch, went to the side to clean his hands, and put the pair of earrings back on his body.

Recalling Kangxi's eyes that day, teasing and gentle, he couldn't help pinching Nanzhu secretly again.

How could he engrave so many things on two beads?

In a blink of an eye, the little elder brother had already walked from one side of the soft couch to the other, and was about to fall off.Jiang Ling stepped forward to help her, and coaxed her gently for a while.Just as Brother Seven was quieted down, Aunt Su Ma came to Jiang Ling's room with the two female officials whom she had met yesterday, and said that there were some matters that Jiang Ling should deal with.

Seeing the tangled patterns on the case, Aunt Su Ma was taken aback.

"This is..." she murmured, "The meaning of admiration and longing..."

Before the words finished, Jiang Ling quickly put away the piece of paper, rubbed it, threw it into the brazier and burned it clean.Aunt Su Ma looked at Jiang Ling quietly, her eyes fell on the pair of earrings, and she smiled faintly: "It seems that the queen already knows."

Jiang Ling was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered the weird and shocked look on Aunt Su Ma's face when she saw them last time.

It turned out that Aunt Su Ma knew about it a long time ago.

Aunt Su Ma smiled, said goodbye and left without saying anything more.

The little elder brother yelled twice, grabbed Jiang Ling's collar, and said in a soft voice next to her ear: "Er, Er Niang, Ama, I have seen, books, many, many books .” He couldn’t speak a complete sentence, he could only gesture intermittently.

Jiang Ling pondered for a while, there are many, many books, does he mean the study room?

Taking advantage of his young age, this little rascal would sneak into his father's study from time to time, and then be carried out tremblingly by the little eunuchs.

"Have you seen it in Ama's study?" Jiang Ling recalled just now, the little elder brother pointed to one of the patterns, babbling, and suddenly remembered that in Kangxi's study, all kinds of things There are things, Manchu, Han, Mongolian and Tibetan languages, usually written together.

The little elder brother is still young, maybe he has seen one of them before, so he has a little impression.

When she was in Rongguo Mansion, the nuns taught her some things, but they didn't continue.

Jiang Ling thought about it for a while, then copied the patterns just now from memory, called a confidant nanny in, and asked her about it.The nanny said: "I don't know much about this servant, but I can still tell that this is a combination of the four languages ​​of Manchu, Han, Mongolian and Tibetan to make this strange appearance." The paper was rolled up and thrown into the fire again to burn it clean.

She was going to ask Kangxi herself tonight.
