Nine Volume 15, Ginseng Doll(1/2)
In April, the emperor was busy in the first half of the month of the Changyu ceremony and enjoying the Taimiao ceremony. In the second half of the month, the palace examination was used to serve the country. In one second, wonderful novels were read for free without pop-ups!
On May 11th, Wanxi was about to give birth to the seventeenth son of the emperor.
Because the Seventeenth Prince was born in Zishi or in the middle of the night, because of his rebirth, he awakened the entire Summer Palace. The Emperor, Yuqin and others had been guarding the side hall since that night, waiting for the letter.
When the city was most sleepy, Xiao Shiqi's loud cry broke the tranquility of the midnight night in the Imperial Garden.
As Wanxi was at this time, the Imperial Hospital was worried that the Imperial Concubine would not be able to take care of the child for ten months, so she was extremely careful from the time she received the good news and was ready for the Imperial Concubine to give birth at any time. But who would have thought that Wanxi would be the good news that she received the good news that she received the good news that she received the good news that she received the good news that she received the good news that she received the good news that she received the good news that she received the good news that she received the good news that she received the good news that she received the good news that she received the good news that she received the good news that she received the good news was exactly three months after she received the good news!
This made everyone surprised, and they could only say that the seventeenth prince was blessed; those who knew the inside story of the imperial concubine's fertility were even more admirable: the emperor was really cautious in order to ensure the imperial concubine's fertility, so he naturally went all out.
There are also the ginseng that the imperial concubine has eaten in the past few months, which has also worked. The Seventeenth Prince was born not only full-term, but also white and fat. She was particularly flexible from the birth of her black eyes. Although she knew that the newly born child could not see anything, she looked at her appearance and seemed to be able to see everything.
Grandma Shouyue, nanny, Yuqin and others, who have seen this Seventeenth Prince said, "Oh, this kid's eyes are so lively, so bright!"
Even though Wanxi has given birth to so many children, her eyes are so lively as soon as she was born, so this is still the first one. Wanxi can only smile and answer, "...I'm afraid that all the ginseng is going to be given to him."
Wanpin also laughed, "It's my personal prince, Prince Ginseng! He is full of energy and has been exposed from his eyes."
Master Yuqin said, "That's it. After this struggle, the children born in Zishi have not been asleep after getting off the ground and are still waiting for their little eyes to look around. With this spirit, how many children can compare with each other?"
Listening to the lords of the inner court, the emperor couldn't help but be happy, and hugged Xiao Shiqi and sat on the opposite kang, staring at him and laughing.
"Boy, what are you looking at? It's like you can see it! If you can really see it, you'd touch it, which one is Ama's eyes and which one is Ama's beard?"
The female family members listened from the opposite side and could only smile helplessly.
This little Seventeen is the emperor's old son. The emperor is fifty-six, and this little Seventeen is a serious "old lump".
It has always been a tradition of loving the old son.
After the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, although it was increasingly accepted the system of inheritance of the eldest son in the Central Plains, the Qing royal family also attached great importance to maintaining the old tradition of Manchus while absorbing the Central Plains ritual system. In the old Manchus, Manchus, like many nomadic peoples, inheritance of the family was not the system of chief, but the system of young sons.
In the era of the ancestors of Manchus, most of the older sons had to go out to hunt and fight, and there were often good fortunes and good fortunes; only the old son could guard his parents at home and support his elderly care and filial piety, so the youngest son often had the deepest feelings for his parents, and in the end, the youngest son was the youngest son who could support his parents in his old age and see him to the youngest son, so the family business was naturally passed on to the youngest son.
Because of this tradition, the emperor loved the seventeenth prince particularly well; and the birth of the old son proved that although the emperor was fifty-six years old, he was still not old. This was naturally a great encouragement for the country, the family and the emperor himself.
Wanxi sat leaning against the pillow, smiling weakly but joyfully, "Your Majesty, look at you. His eyes are still chaotic, but the emperor is still asking him seriously."
Because Wanxi spoke, the emperor looked up and looked at Wanxi, but relaxed his "precautions" against the Seventeenth Prince.
As a result, in just one gap, the Seventeenth Prince actually turned high like a dragon head, and as soon as he urinated, he fell on the emperor's beard!
Everyone was shocked, and Wanxi almost jumped off the kang.
Fortunately, there was a nanny serving him, so he quickly took Xiao Shiqi over with a smile.
Gao Yuncong hurriedly came in with a towel to wipe it. The emperor himself smiled, "Good boy, this peeing is quite energetic!"
Fortunately, he looked up at Jiuer. Otherwise, he would have been peeing either by the eyes or directly into his mouth!
Wanxi hurriedly said, "I apologize to the emperor for Xiao Shiqi. When he is full month old, I will beat him!"
The emperor didn't care about the fact that every beard was slacking off. He just laughed, "What are you afraid of? This is a boy's urine!"
Grandma Shouyue, who was beside her, also joined in the fun, "Go back to the emperor, this is the first peeing that the Seventeenth Prince gave birth to..."
The emperor laughed again, "Good boy, I can't give this first shot to others, I'll give it to you, right? This is your filial piety!"
Wanxi laughed and helpless, and hurriedly said, "Sister Chen, please cover Xiao Shiqi's ears quickly, don't tell him to hear the emperor's words. Otherwise, when you grow up, you will have to go lawless."
When Wanpin asked Wanpin to do this, she respected Wanpin as the old man in the emperor's residence and was the oldest among the sisters.
But Wanpin deliberately stumbled and covered her mouth with a round fan and smiled, "Imperial Concubine, you're afraid that's too late to say this. How could my steps be faster than the emperor's words? Even if I pounced over at this moment, the emperor's words were finished. Xiao Shiqi listened to everything he should have heard!"
Wanxi could only smile helplessly, "But no matter what, the sisters will definitely help me remember it today. You must not let Xiao Shiqi know that today is in trouble!"
Wanpin said the first time, "I have time to agree to you. Xiao Shiqi has just been born and has a long future. Some of us have been hiding the situation from him."
I heard that E Nie gave birth to a younger brother again, and Xiao Qi and several other children wanted to come over and see him immediately.
Xiaoqi and Jiujiu are fine, they are older sisters, so they know the importance of it. However, the emperor stopped Xiao Shiwu and asked Mao Tuaner to watch over it. Don’t come here to make trouble that day.
As a result, Xiao Fifteenth was allowed to visit him on May 12th.
Before Xiao Shiwu came, he prepared something solemnly. He first asked Mao Tuaner to change his clothes and change his most noble set of princely robes.
Mao Tuaner was shocked when she heard this, and looked at Xiao Shiwu carefully, "Oh, my little master, what did you say? The little master's court uniform is a winter outfit. It's already May, so why are you still wearing that?"
"It's just that. The servant is afraid that the sable hat and big sweater will be wrapped in. The little master will get a prickly heat!"
Xiao Shiwu was so happy that he could not stand up even with his stomach in his arms. "Yan Da was right, I forgot that it was a sweater!"
Xiao Shiwu smiled but he flattered his mouth with some displeasure, holding his cheek and thinking, "Yanda, when will my emperor Ama make me a summer court robe?"
Mao Tuaner raised his eyebrows, "Oh, my little master, the winter set is already the only one among all princes. In the past, there was no example of a prince under ten years old who gave him a court robe and a crown. One winter set is not enough, but you still want a summer set? But there is no ancestral banquet in summer, right? That is all in the first lunar month."
Xiao Shiwu's small brows frowned tightly, "Then there is also the birthday gift from Emperor Ama."
Mr. Mao Tuaner nodded, "What the young master said is reasonable. Since the clan banquet has been held, I am afraid that the young master will have to wear a court robe to celebrate this year's birthday celebration. But... it was August, it's only May, and it may not be prepared."
"Oh, what should I do..." Xiao Shiwu actually hugged his little head and leaned on the table with a very distressed look.
Mao Tuaner looked a little strange when she looked at her little master today.
The fifteenth prince is precocious. Although he is young, he always speaks and acts properly. He doesn't look like a child who is only five and a half years old.
But he is only five and a half years old after all. He is precocious in big things, but he is still innocent and cute in small things.
Mao Tuaner hurried over and squatted down beside Xiao Shiwu, so that he could look at Xiao Shiwu's eyes, "What are the little masters worries today? Let me tell you. I might be able to relieve my worries for you."
Xiao Shiwu tilted his head and his cheeks were still resting on his arms. It was obvious that his worries were very heavy.
"Anda...I'm a brother. I'm a brother again."
Mao Tuaner's heart was so sour and sweet when she said these two words.
After all, Xiao Shiwu is still a child. How can he compare his perception of death with adults? The sudden departure of the Sixteenth Prince actually left a very big scar in the heart of the fifteenth Prince. However, Xiao Shiwu is still young, and he doesn't know how to express it himself, let alone how to relieve it.
But he tried his best not to show it in front of E Nie, and this was only one person in his heart.
Mao Tuaner and a few eunuchs who were serving each other in person realized that after the 16th prince died, he suddenly had nightmares on many nights. He couldn't wake up but kept crying and muttering in his dreams, "...Eat pomegranates, ah."
Therefore, when he had a younger brother so soon, I think the fifteenth prince must be extremely happy; but the child will also be worried about gains and losses. Why isn't the younger prince still afraid that one day, this younger brother will disappear?
Mao Tuaner was reluctant to say that sadness again, so he only asked sweetly, "Yes, the little master is the elder brother. The little master wants to wear a court robe, but he wants to be solemn and dignified. Will he show it to the Seventeenth Prince?"
Xiao Shiwu Zheng pointed at the key point, "Yes, I'm a brother, I have to go like an adult and show it to my brother Seventeen!"
Mao Tuaner deliberately smirked, "Show your brother's majesty?"
Xiao Shiwu then burst into laughter, straightened his body, stretched his arms forward and hooked Mao Tuaner's arm, "Don't laugh. I'm the eldest brother."
Mao Tuaner lowered her head and nodded, "That's right, the little master has officially entered school now, but the eldest brother is the eldest brother. Children who have officially entered school can wear long gowns."
Children are mostly dressed in short clothes and small shirts, and they can only wear long shirts after entering school. This is respect for gentleness, but it is also the beginning of their growth when children enter school.
"Then, I'll prepare other beautiful long gowns for the little master?"
Xiao Shiwu's eyes lit up and told Mao Tuaner to remind him of what he had just said. He turned around and went downstairs, ran to the side of the rolling tank, bent around the mouth of the tank to dig something.
Although the rolling tank was not deep, it could not hold on to the small fifteen-headed and round one. Mao Tuaner was afraid that he would fall into it, so he quickly came up and asked repeatedly, "What are you digging for me? Ask me to the slave, and I will dig for me for me."
"I've found it!" Xiao Shiwu's voice echoed in the rolling tank, with a special muffled voice.
Mao Tuaner quickly pulled Xiao Shiwu out of the mouth of the rolling tank like a big radish. "What did you find, the little master?"
Xiao Shiwu smiled proudly, and then "pulled" in front of Mao Tuaner, and actually threw away a folding fan!
"Look at Anda, I can use this!"
Since ancient times, Confucian scholars must have a folding fan when going out wearing long gowns. Over the years, these two objects have almost formed a set of outfits, Meng is not out of focus, and Guang is not out of focus.
Especially for the Qing Dynasty men, a "fan bag" was specially arranged in the entire set of "works" tied on their belts, which were hung in winter and summer, which proves that folding fans are not only fan-winding for the princes, but also have a meaning similar to ritual instruments.
——This is also the intention of Wanxi sending Fuheng folding fan when she was separated from Fuheng. - She always keeps her alone.
Mao Tuaner also clapped her hands and smiled, "Oh, that's not it! The little master wants to wear a long gown to see our seventeenth prince, so he naturally has to bring another folding fan!"
Mao Tuaner was also puzzled and stared at the folding fan, "But where did the little master get such a folding fan?"
Because the folding fan matches the identity of scholars and long gowns, it gradually becomes more solemn. It is not usually used by children. Therefore, they are still fifteen years younger than them, and no one makes folding fan. They are just like the shape of a palm fan, a banana fan, or a round fan.
Where did the little master turn out the folding fan today?
——Yes, although Mao Tuaner saw with his own eyes that the little master dug out of the rolling tank, he didn’t have a folding fan in the rolling tank, right? This folding fan must have a way out.
Besides, folding fans have always had various details and rules, including what the fan bone is made of, whose words and drawings are on the fan face, and what paper materials are used for the fan face. Mao Tuaner can tell at a glance that the hand in the fifteenth prince's hand is absolutely extraordinary.
This fan is made of ivory strands, gourd heads, gold paper sprinkled... not to mention the delicate carvings on the heads and the inscriptions with beautiful bones on the fan.
Seeing Mao Tuaner Anda seeing that the fan was a good thing, Xiao Shiwu was so happy that he smiled, "Is it good-looking? It's the Eleventh Brother! I look good and I'm here for you!"
All the princes of the Qing Dynasty were skilled in calligraphy, and Yongyan was the best. Yongyan's study was extremely elegant, and the folding fan that swayed in front of people when they went out was even more thoughtful.
"It turns out it's the Eleventh Prince. I can't blame such a icy skin and a beautiful bone." Mao Tuaner also praised.
It turned out that the little master and the Eleventh Prince were coming. It seemed that it must have been the one that the Eleventh Prince never left. I couldn't blame the little master for "burying" it into the rolling tank. When I used it, I had to dig it out with my head and ass.
Are you afraid that the Eleventh Prince will go back?
Xiao Shiwu hugged the folding fan with joy, "I used to look good, so I asked Brother Eleven. Now I feel that I was doing the right thing at that time. Otherwise, if I go to see Xiao Shiqi, how could I just wear a long gown but not even a fan in my hand?"
Wearing a long gown and shaking a folding fan, Xiao Shiwu really looked like a little adult.
