Chapter 21 Chapter 21 Wen Shan and the second batch...

Wen Shan and the second batch of canonization also included Concubine Ping. She jumped two levels and was directly promoted to Concubine Ping.

In comparison, she was more conspicuous than Wen Shan.

After the canonization ceremony, Wen Shan returned to Xianfu Palace and stamped her feet in the cold.

"Oh my God, we still have to worship heaven and earth in the snow." Wen Shan took off her cloak and went to the charcoal stove to keep warm. "The canonization ceremony is too long. I stood outside for more than two hours."

Originally, Yinzhen and Yinsi had to go to watch the ceremony, but Wen Shan forced them to stay in Xianfu Palace because of the heavy snow. What if the children were frozen? Besides, there was nothing to see. She knelt here and there like a puppet. The

responsible ritual officer was almost smiling and said something like auspicious snow means a good harvest, which is a good omen.

She thought it was just torture.

It just so happened that it was the first snow today, and there was a night banquet in the palace according to the rules. She was tired for half a day and had to go to accompany the banquet at night.

Thinking about it, her life was even more miserable.

Yinsi was wearing a dark red double-breasted cloud pattern jacket, and the cuffs and neck were made of white fluffy wool that Wen Shan had found for them. It surrounded his fair face and looked very festive. Yinzhen was also wearing the same clothes as Yinsi, which were specially made by Wen Shan for them. The two brothers were sitting on the couch and jumped down when they saw Wen Shan coming back.

"Don't touch mother first, mother is too cold." Wen Shan urgently stopped Yinsi who wanted to jump on her.

Yinzhen looked outside: "Why did mother come back alone? After the enthronement ceremony, shouldn't there be a lady of honor to pay homage?"

It was all white outside and no one was seen.

"It's really inconvenient because of the heavy snow, Your Majesty, please don't do it." Wen Shan waved her hand.

This is good, otherwise she would have to go back to Xianfu Palace and smile for two hours.

Zhenzhu brought a bowl of hot rice dumplings and said with a smile: "Master, you have worked hard. Drink something hot."

"My brother and I also roasted sweet potatoes for our mother in the stove." Yinsi also said with a raised face.

Wenshan roasted the fire for a while and felt that it was almost done before hugging her two precious sons. She was so moved that she felt that her own family

was the best. Since Wenshan roasted sweet potatoes with Yinzhen and Yinsi twice, they fell in love with this career. They would roast two in the stove whenever they had nothing to do. They even gradually became better than Wenshan in controlling the heat and time.

"Let me help you take off these jewelry first?" Amber said caringly as she stepped forward and looked at Wenshan's luxurious but heavy headdress and clothes.

Wenshan nodded quickly. This outfit almost bent her waist.

It took another half an hour to change the imperial concubine's clothes.

Wen Shan, who changed into casual clothes, finally breathed a sigh of relief. She simply tied her hair into a bun and tasted the sweet potatoes that her two sons had just baked on the couch.

Wen Shan gave them a thumbs up and used all her life's knowledge to praise their cooking skills, making the two children smile. Yinsi, who was sitting next to Wen Shan and watching her drinking wine and making dumplings, was also eager to try a bite. Wen Shan looked at his eager eyes and carefully avoided the dumplings and scooped a spoonful of soup for him to taste a small bite. These dumplings were not easy to digest, so she tried not to let Yinsi eat them.

Yinsi was too young to eat Yinzhen, but it didn't matter. He had drunk two bowls in a short while, and then Wen Shan strictly stopped him from eating anymore.

Yinsi was gloating on the side, and Yinzhen came over to rub his face and the two rolled into a ball again.

Wen Shan drank the hot wine and watched her two sons playing, and suddenly felt that this was what a peaceful life was like.

In the afternoon, the snow had not stopped yet. It was quiet outside. From time to time, there were one or two crisp snapping sounds of branches being crushed by the snow. Wen Shan suddenly felt like cutting window paper-cuts. She asked Zhenzhu to find some red paper. Yinzhen and Yinsi were too young, so Wen Shan couldn't let them touch the scissors. So she asked them to draw patterns on the side. She would cut out the ones they liked and let them play with them.

Wen Shan was always good at this kind of handicraft. Baoquan and a few others also sat around the table and cut out some spring characters, peonies, butterflies and other festive patterns.

Wen Shan cut out two in a short time, one was a galloping horse and the other was a chicken spreading its wings to fly, which were the zodiac signs of Yinzhen and Yinsi.

The two window paper-cuts were lifelike. Yinzhen and Yinsi liked them very much and kept them very carefully.

Wen Shan came over to look at the two children's masterpieces. Although Yinzhen had been enlightened, his painting skills were not very skilled. Wen Shan looked at him for a while and found that he was painting a very classic nine fish painting, but he added two little people in the middle of the nine jubilant fish, and at the bottom there was a long-haired woman holding a lantern and smiling at the two little people playing with the koi.

Yinzhen blushed a little when he saw Wen Shan coming over: "I don't draw well."

Wen Shan took him and said: "Yinzhen drew very well. Is this mother, brother and Yinzhen?"

Yinzhen nodded.

Wen Shan exclaimed "Wow" and deliberately teased him: "It looks good, but mother may not be able to cut it out."

This is indeed a bit complicated. Yinzhen has a serious personality and is easily teased by Wen Shan. At this time, he was a little panicked. He looked left and right and didn't know how to change it. Wen Shan hurriedly said that it could be cut, and when it was cut out, it would be pasted on the window of the main hall so that it could be seen when the door was pushed open.

What surprised Wen Shan the most was that Yinsi's painting skills were surprisingly good.

Wen Shan was so shocked that she could hardly speak

when she saw the painting of mother and son playing with butterflies drawn by Yinsi. The lines were smooth and the expressions were lively. The people and butterflies were painted vividly. It was impossible for a one-year-old child to draw this.

Yinsi, who was holding the paintbrush, felt a little nervous. He thought it was not good. He just wanted to draw a beautiful pattern to please his mother, but he forgot that he was still a child, far from Yinsi who had been painting for decades.

Yinsi nervously watched Wen Shan holding his painting and carefully examining it. A thin layer of sweat appeared on his palms, and his mind was quickly thinking of a reasonable explanation.

"Oh my God, our little eight is really a genius." He didn't expect his mother to be so excited that she picked him up and kissed him several times.

"You are too smart. How can you know everything?" Wen Shan looked at her little son with light in her eyes. Is this the genius child described in the novel?

Could it be that Yinsi of their family has an extraordinary talent for painting?

Even Yinzhen admired Yinsi's paintings again and again. He didn't expect his younger brother to be so smart.

Yinsi was praised to the point of being a little ecstatic and touched at the same time. As expected, his mother would never doubt him and loved him wholeheartedly. No matter what was different about him, she would accept it completely.

He didn't want to lie to his mother. He just wanted to tell her that he was a person who had lived a second life. Would his mother be scared? After all, such things about gods and ghosts have always been taboos, and his mother was so timid.

Yinsi had thought about this before, but finally decided to keep it secret for now. It would not be too late to tell her later if there was a chance, or he could hide it for the rest of his life.

What Yinsi didn't know was that Wen Shan herself had experienced such a bizarre thing as time travel, so she was really accepting of all kinds of emergencies.

It was a bit difficult to cut out the two images of Yinsi and Yinzhen that were drawn. Wen Shan worked on it for more than two hours before she was barely satisfied with the two images and put them away properly, planning to stick them on the windows during the Chinese New Year, so that the whole family could stay up together to celebrate the New Year.

After cutting the paper-cuts, it was almost time for the night banquet. Fortunately, the snow stopped an hour ago. Wen Shan took Yinzhen and Yinsi to the night banquet. They arrived early. Kangxi and the two ancestors had not arrived yet. Only Concubine Niuhulu, Concubine Rong, and Concubine Yi had already taken their seats.

Concubine Niuhulu sat opposite the Imperial Concubine, while Wen Shan sat below the Imperial Concubine and opposite Concubine Hui.

Concubine Hui was the leader of all the concubines because she had the eldest prince.

This palace banquet was organized by Concubine Niuhulu, who was still busy checking the preparations everywhere. After Wen Shan took Yinzhen and Yinsi to sit down, a palace maid immediately served tea and snacks. The appetites of the two children were spoiled by Wen Shan's cooking skills, and they were not interested in the snacks made in the imperial kitchen. Wen Shan picked some fruits for them to eat.

Concubine Yi sat below Wen Shan and chatted with her when she saw this.

"Sister Imperial Concubine is really enviable now. The Fourth and Eighth Princes are so well behaved."

Wen Shan saw that Concubine Yi had a rosy face and a smile on her face, and knew that she had been doing well recently. As she wished, she was made a concubine, and Emperor Kangxi had always been quite fond of her. Wen Shan calculated that Concubine Yi should be pregnant with the Ninth Prince by the New Year.

"The New Year is coming soon, and the Fifth Prince will also return to the Yikun Palace for a few days, so my sister can also relieve her longing for him." Wen Shan said with a smile.

After hearing this, Concubine Yi sighed sincerely: "We can only get together for a few days throughout the year. Although we are also raised in the palace, we often don't see each other. We are together less and more than we are apart." After Concubine Yi

finished speaking, her face changed and she hurriedly said: "Sister, please forgive me. I just missed my son and said something wrong. I didn't mean to disrespect

the Queen Mother." Wen Shan listened to Concubine Yi's words and thought of Yinsi and Wei. She smiled and said: "Of course I know you. There is no need for you and me to talk about this."

Concubine Yi breathed a sigh of relief. Concubine Xuan has always been frank and open-minded. She gets along with her casually, so she just said something wrong. While

the two were talking, Concubine De came. Now she is almost five months pregnant and her pregnancy is obvious. Although her body is not too heavy, Wen Shan can see that her face is not good. The Sixth Prince followed her and sat down opposite Concubine Yi.

Yinsi pulled Yinzhen to talk and asked him to tell him a story. Yinzhen looked at Yinsi helplessly: "Brother, I'm fine."

He no longer minded his biological mother's partiality or his noble mother's disgust. Now he can live in Xianfu Palace with his brother and mother accompanying him, and he is already very satisfied.

Yinsi's little thoughts were discovered and he turned away in anger: "Forget it."

"..."

Concubine Yi glanced at Concubine De and whispered to Wenshan: "I heard that the imperial physician in Concubine De's palace said that she caught a cold two days ago. I thought she would not come today."

After all, she was pregnant, and it was snowing today. She caught a cold a few days ago, so it was okay even if she asked for leave.

"Maybe she is better now, come out for a walk." Wenshan said.

"No, no." Concubine Yi raised her eyebrows and said, "The emperor has only been to Yonghe Palace once this month, and most of the time he was with the Imperial Concubine and Concubine Niohuru. The Empress Dowager did not tell her about Princess Chunxi's wedding. If she doesn't come out, people will really forget about her."

Wen Shan laughed, "After all, Concubine De is pregnant with a dragon fetus. You are exaggerating."

"What's so strange about a dragon fetus now?" Concubine Yi didn't care. "Our emperor already has eight brothers. It's not the time when he just ascended the throne."

Wen Shan thought so too. There are indeed many children in the palace now.

After sitting for a while, Kangxi came, and he came with the Imperial Concubine.

When Wen Shan bowed, she saw that Concubine Niohuru clenched her hands tightly.

It seems that Concubine Hui can take a break. The two big Buddhas, the Imperial Concubine and Concubine Niohuru, are about to rush to the battlefield.
