Chapter 11 Chapter 11 Why did Kangxi come at this time...
Why did Kangxi come at this time?
In the past, Kangxi only came to Xianfu Palace once or twice a month, and it was usually because the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager urged him to come and see the children, and he never stayed overnight. Although Wen Shan looked good and had a good temper, the problem was that her temperament was too gentle. It is said that women should be gentle as water, but Kangxi found her temperament too gentle and found it boring, so he almost never turned over Wen Shan's sign.
In response, Wen Shan said that as a social animal in the new era, being dead and alive is a basic skill at work, and it is automatically triggered when she sees the leader.
Who can muster the energy to deal with the leader?
Kangxi strode in, saw the people kneeling on the ground in the room, and casually raised his hand to call them up.
"What are they doing? Why is it so noisy?"
Wen Shan offered Kangxi a cup of freshly brewed Longjing tea and said with a smile: "Yinsi is learning to roll over. I and Yinzhen are playing with him."
Kangxi glanced at Yinsi lying on the side and picked him up with a rare fatherly heart and weighed him: "Really? He can roll over in just over a month? Let the emperor hold him."
Although Yinsi would not give Kangxi a good face, he would not punch or kick him. He just stood there motionless and let him do whatever he wanted.
Wen Shan smiled and said: "Yinsi's body is soft and he can't roll over. I don't know why he is trying so hard to learn."
Although it seems that he is just rubbing against the ground.
Why else? Of course, it is to be able to control his body earlier, Yinsi thought secretly.
"You have taken good care of Yinsi." Kangxi touched Yinsi's little face, and Yinsi twisted uncomfortably in Kangxi's arms. Wenshan knew from Kangxi's posture that he didn't know how to hold a child, and was afraid that Yinsi would cry with a pout, so she hurried to take Yinsi over.
Yinsi breathed a sigh of relief. It was really uncomfortable to be held by the emperor.
Kangxi drank a sip of tea and continued: "You have taken good care of Yinzhen, and his temper has improved a lot."
Wenshan didn't know what Kangxi wanted to do this time, so she could only smile.
Yinzhen, on the other hand, had a bad premonition.
Kangxi was just about to reward Wenshan with something to reward her for taking care of Yinzhen for the past few months and then send Yinzhen back to Chengqian Palace. In a blink of an eye, he saw the sweet-scented osmanthus wine and soft cheese on the table.
"What is this? I have never seen it in the palace."
Wen Shan handed Yinsi to Zhenzhu to hold, and sat on the other side and said with a smile: "This is a little thing that I made in my spare time. Your Majesty, please try it and see how it tastes."
Kangxi knew that his concubine Xuan liked to tinker with things in the kitchen. The Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother liked it very much, but he had never tasted Xuan's cooking.
This Xuan was simply a wooden head. She went to the Cining Palace every day, and never sent a single snack to the Yangxin Palace.
Kangxi nodded dignifiedly, picked up a piece and tasted it.
"It tastes really good. No wonder the Empress Dowager often praises you."
Kangxi didn't like sweets very much, but this time he ate the whole dumpling in just a few bites, and even took a second one after finishing it.
Kangxi ate three in a row before washing his hands. When he saw Yinzhen standing aside with his hands hanging down, he remembered the business of coming here today.
"Yinzhen, come to the emperor."
Yinzhen looked up at Wenshan, who smiled at him. He then stepped forward with a stern face and respectfully greeted Kangxi.
Kangxi hummed, turned the ring on his hand and asked: "Have you visited your mother in Chengqian Palace recently?"
"Mother Xuan asked me to go every day, but she said she was not feeling well and would not see guests. I kowtowed to her outside the palace every day to greet her."
Wenshan thought that she asked Yinzhen to go there every day to avoid being criticized at such a special time. Kangxi asked this question today, so these days were not in vain. Sure
enough, Kangxi nodded with satisfaction and praised Yinzhen for his filial piety.
Then he said: "Your mother has been depressed since her miscarriage. Now that she is better, she misses you very much. You should go back to Chengqian Palace tomorrow and spend time with her."
Yinzhen raised his head suddenly. Wenshan was also caught off guard by the sudden separation. Although she had known that Yinzhen would return to Chengqian Palace one day, she still felt bitter when that day came.
Even Yinsi, who was in Zhenzhu's arms, raised his confused little face and turned his head with difficulty to look over.
Fourth brother is leaving?
"Why, you can't bear to leave your mother Xuan?" Kangxi asked with narrowed eyes.
Yinzhen couldn't describe what he felt at this moment. He just clenched his fists and lowered his head without saying anything. Wen Shan saw this and hurried forward and said, "The Fourth Prince is still young and he's just gotten used to living here with me in recent days. I don't know how much he misses the Imperial Concubine. The Imperial Concubine is unhappy
and it's time for Yinzhen to go back and enjoy her life." Kangxi was very satisfied with Wen Shan's sense of current affairs. In addition, Yinzhen's reluctance to let her go was enough to show that she loved Yinzhen very much. Looking at the deep love between the mother and son, he softened his tone and touched Yinzhen's head and said, "Concubine Xuan has raised you for a few months. You can come to visit often in the future."
Yinzhen replied sullenly, "Yes, your son obeys your order."
The Three Feudatories had just been pacified, and there were still a lot of memorials to be dealt with on Kangxi's desk. Originally, he only needed to issue an edict. He came here in person today because he wanted to give Concubine Xuan some face as she was raising two princes. After explaining the matter, he got up and left.
Before leaving, he looked at Concubine Xuan's still docile face, thought for a moment and said to Liang Jiugong: "No need to turn over the cards today, I will come to Concubine Xuan's place for dinner."
Concubine Xuan was well-behaved and obedient, so she should be comforted.
Wen Shan, who was hit by two bolts of lightning in succession: "..."
God damn it!
She had originally planned to make some of Yinzhen's favorite dishes tonight and sleep with him for another night, but now everything was messed up by Kangxi.
Even so, she still had to force a smile and thank him with a smile.
Before Kangxi left, he took away the osmanthus wine and soft cheese on the table. Seeing this, Wen Shan's heart was bleeding. She couldn't give it to Wei Da Ying, so she had to make some other snacks to send to her.
As soon as Kangxi left, the entire Xianfu Palace fell into a sad atmosphere. Baoquan, who was usually the closest to Yinzhen, shed a few tears in pain.
Wen Shan was upset but she still managed to cheer up and comfort Yinzhen: "Your father said that if you miss Xuan'e Niang and your brother, come to Xianfu Palace, don't be sad." "
Okay, if you want to eat anything, Xuan'e Niang will cook it for you now. Let's have a meal before dinner."
Yinzhen ran to Wen Shan sullenly: "Xuan'e Niang and I will do it together."
"Okay."
Yinsi in Zhenzhu's arms listened with his little ears erect for a while and waved his little hands to babble.
He also wants to be with Xuan'e Niang!
Wen Shan hugged Yinsi who had been waving at her, laughing and crying, and tapped his little nose: "You can't go, the kitchen is too choking."
In the end, Wen Shan didn't take Yinzhen to cook, leaving him in the room to play with Yinsi.
Yinsi rarely didn't turn his face to his fourth brother, staring at him with blinking eyes. Yinzhen couldn't help but feel jealous when he looked at his carefree eighth brother.
The eighth brother was legitimately raised in Xianfu Palace, and he could call Xuan's mother his mother in the future, but his dreamlike months were completely over.
Yinsi, who was completely unaware that he had been envied and admired by Yinzhen, was also in a low mood. It was a pity that he could no longer kick his fourth brother every day.
Zhenzhu and Amber accompanied Wenshan in the small kitchen. Zhenzhu kneaded the dough and couldn't help saying: "The fourth prince has been in Xianfu Palace for these few months. I really don't want to leave him." "
I am the same." Wenshan looked at her and smiled bitterly: "After all, Yinzhen was raised by the concubine, and he will go back to Chengqian Palace."
Amber looked at Wenshan's lonely expression and wanted to change the topic, so she changed the topic and said: "It's rare for the emperor to come here tonight. Does the master have to cook for him personally?"
Wenshan: "..."
She was really talking about something else. She was even more depressed when she mentioned Kangxi.
Pearl and Amber couldn't help but shudder as they watched their master chop a bone with a knife with a cold face.
"I'm tired, just ask the kitchen to prepare it."
Seeing that the direction was wrong, Amber thought for a while and said, "I heard an interesting story today. It said that Concubine Yi and Noble Lady Guo Luoluo went to see the Sixth Princess and ran into the eldest princess on the way. From their conversation, it seemed that the emperor was already looking for a husband for the eldest princess." "
Huh?" Wen Shan was surprised: "The eldest princess is only ten years old this year, and she has already started looking for a husband?"
The eldest princess was not Kangxi's biological daughter but the eldest daughter of Kangxi's younger brother, Prince Gong. She was adopted in the palace since she was a child. Speaking of which, the eldest princess was also a lucky one. In the early days of Kangxi's reign, several princes and princesses in the palace died early. In order to "bring good luck", the eldest princess was taken to the palace to be raised. Coincidentally, most of the princes and princesses born since the eldest princess entered the palace have grown up, so Kangxi was very happy and loved this adopted daughter very much.
The eldest princess was raised by Empress Hesheli and Empress Niuhulu successively. After Empress Niuhulu passed away, she has been living in the prince's residence. Although the eldest princess is young, she has extraordinary temperament and has always been a role model for the princes and princesses in the palace.
Pearl smiled and said: "The emperor loves the eldest princess so much that he must have seen her in advance, but I don't know which family of talent he has chosen?"
"I am going to tell the master about this." Amber said mysteriously: "I heard that he has chosen the master's nephew from his mother's family, the young master of the Borjigit family of the Khorchin tribe." Manchu-
Mongolian marriage is the norm. Wenshan vaguely remembers that Kangxi had several daughters who married to Mongolia, but it's a pity that she was already in the Forbidden City when she came here. Although she inherited the memories of the original owner, the life and relatives on the Khorchin grassland are always a lot more vague.
If this marriage really happens, she and the eldest princess will be a closer relationship, so Amber told her about it eagerly. After all, it is a happy event and she also wants to make Wenshan happy.
Pearl and Amber tried to make Wenshan happy. The master and servants worked for an hour and prepared the meal. When Wenshan entered the room, she saw Yinzhen and Yinsi sitting together in a rare peaceful time.
Yinsi lay quietly in the rocking bed, rarely facing his fourth brother, and Yinzhen was holding a book and telling Yinsi a story.
"Okay, Yinzhen, come and eat first."
Wenshan greeted with a smile. Yinzhen put down the book and came over. The palace servants had already brought the food to the table one after another. Yinzhen saw that they were all his favorites.
"Tomorrow morning, Xuan E Niang will make some more cakes you like and take them back. If there are no more, send someone to tell Xuan E Niang to send you more."
Yinzhen's eyes were sore. Wenshan picked up some food for him and smiled and said, "Eat quickly."
Yinzhen nodded, without saying a word, just buried his head and ate hard.
Yinsi felt a little uncomfortable when he was fed by Pearl with a spoon. Well, he was not reluctant
to leave his fourth brother, he was just upset because he couldn't eat the delicious food made by Xuan's mother!
