Chapter 38: The Birthday Banquet (5)

So Hajlan stood there with his head held high, feeling the gaze that was being cast at him from all sides, the difference, the surprise, the inquiry, and so on. Hajlan silently calmed her mood, constantly reminding herself not to be nervous, and then smiled at the kilowatt light bulb-like gaze cast on her.

Seeing Hajilan, who was standing between the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother, calmly facing the searchlight-like gaze of the ministers and family members, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang couldn't help nodding secretly, she really wanted to see the child's reaction today, so she didn't let Aunt Su Mala bring Hajilan to her side, and let Hajilan face such a high-profile scene alone, now it seems that this girl is very good!

Kangxi looked at the princes, ministers and family members below, thinking that the pursuit of an emperor is not to become a wise saint lord who has been praised through the ages? The rivers and mountains of the Qing Dynasty have been continuously carried forward in their own hands, the society of the rivers and mountains is stable, and the people of Li are bathed in the emperor's grace. Kangxi felt that he was a very good emperor. Kangxi is familiar with history books and knows that balance is the ability that an emperor should have to dominate the ministers, and only by balancing the throne can he sit firmly. This time, having Hajlan hold a birthday banquet with his little nine, little ten and little thirteen is an alternative way of balance. Kangxi couldn't help but nod secretly when he saw Hajilan's expression, this little girl is very good, not inferior to his own princes.

The ministers did not come one by one, in that case it would be too much time, the ministers were divided into five classes according to the princes and men, and each class would give gifts together, and the chamberlains would shout the names of the ministers and the gifts offered. Most of the gifts offered by these ministers were calligraphy and paintings, and Hajlan was a little aesthetically tired when he heard it, and there was nothing new at all!

"Why don't you have swords and bows? Who likes to read those books, paintings, these are all things that give me a headache when I look at them? Hum! Brother Ten muttered quietly.

"Brother Jiu, I know, don't speak! What a prince's demeanor! Really. Okay, Brother Jiu, tap it, just listen to you. Brother Ten said in a low voice.

Hajlan listened to the secret interaction between the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother with a black line, and it was conceivable that the ninth elder brother cared for the tenth elder brother, so he made some small actions regardless of his princely demeanor, which actually caused the fact that his princely image was overshadowed, and even if there were such consequences, the ninth elder brother was still secretly reminding the tenth elder brother to pay attention to the image of the prince. The deep brotherly relationship between the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother is really rare in this Forbidden City full of power struggles! Hajran couldn't help but sigh secretly.

In Hajran's emotion, this boring and monotonous offering finally came to an end, and the next step was the feast process of eating and drinking.

"Su Ma, you take Xiao Jiu, Xiao Shi and Hajlan to the side hall to rest for a while, and let the inner servant Chuanmingzhu family go to the side hall to meet Hajilan later." Xiaozhuang smiled and instructed Aunt Su Mala beside him.

"Obey the will of the Empress Dowager." Su Mala replied respectfully.

"Ninth Elder Brother, Tenth Elder Brother and Hajirangege, slaves and maids are waiting for you to go to the side hall to rest for a while. Hajirangege, are you happy to see your Guo Luo Mafa (Manchu: maternal grandfather), Guo Luo's mother (Manchu: maternal grandmother) and a few Na Ke Chu (Manchu: uncle) in a moment? Su Malagu smiled.

Hajilan, who was still being led by the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother, nodded with a smile, but secretly thought about how to let the third uncle pass a message to Ama when he met with the Mingzhu family, saying that he needed to cooperate with himself in order to enter the fairyland garden in Chahar. What made Hajlan so anxious was that she was at a loss after thinking about it for a long time, and the side hall was immediately seen.

"Hajran, what's wrong? Why are you so upset? Say it, what else do I have, and I'll do my best to help you do it! Brother Jiu, who was on Hajlan's left, whispered.

"Brother Jiu, Hajlan is unhappy, he must be as angry as the master, and those ministers send some calligraphy and paintings, which give the master a headache. Who is like the ninth brother who carries books and paper on his body at all times! The Ten Elder Brothers, who were on Hajlan's right, interjected quietly.

"Hey, paper ......," Hajran's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Is it possible to write a letter to Amma, and then ask the third uncle to send someone to Chahar to Amma, then...... Then write this letter in pinyin, so that no one except me and Amma will know the content of the letter. Oops, there's finally a solution. ”

As soon as Hajlan thought of this method, his eyes rolled a few times and weighed how he would implement it.

So Hajlan looked at Brother Jiu with blinking eyes, "Hajlan, why is there anything you need me to help you do?" I'll help you get it right. Brother Nine asked.

Hearing this, Hajlan said secretly: "What a wise little boy who is on the way! ”

Hajlan smiled sweetly and whispered: "Brother Jiu, I want you to give me paper and pen, I want to write a letter to my Amma, and then ask the third uncle to help me send it to Chahar to give me Amma." ”

"Okay, but do you know how to write? Or you say I'll write it! Brother Jiu said in a low voice.

"I ...... I, my Amma taught me a good and easy way to get in touch, heck, you don't care about this, just give me paper and pen! Hajlan suddenly realized that he was still a 2-year-old child, how could he write, so he had to say such a lame reason to prevaricate the Ninth Elder Brother, God bless the hope that this reason will pass the test at the Ninth Elder Brother, after all, no matter how smart he is, he is only a four-year-old boy.

Brother Jiu blinked his phoenix eyes, nodded with a smile: "That's it, as soon as I get to the side hall, I will ask my attendants to write a letter to you with pen and ink, when you can't write it or don't know how to write it, you say I'll write it!" ”

Hajlan nodded again and again with a sigh of relief, and said secretly: "As long as you don't break the sand pot and ask the end about how I can write a letter in a simple way, it's OK." ”

So as soon as he arrived at the side hall, Brother Jiu instructed his attendants to take out paper and pen and ink, and Hajilan wrote her first letter in the Qing Dynasty in pinyin on the small desk in the side hall.

Hajlan happily blew the letter he had written, and the faint ink fragrance on the letter made Hajlan feel that he would get better and that tomorrow would be better!

"Okay, you have blown the ink fragrance all over the house, let me seal this ink fragrance into the envelope in my hand, and then ask your third uncle to send someone to Chahar to give you Amma, you Ama will be very happy to smell the faint ink fragrance that carries your strong thoughts, and your aunt will definitely be very happy to see the letter you wrote to him." Brother Jiu said with a smile.

Hajlan looked at the smart little boy in front of him, and secretly slandered himself that this is obviously a very good little boy, so he is obviously not the same person as the image of the ninth elder brother in history! Is it because Brother Jiu was only a four-year-old child at this time, or because history is written by the victors? Maybe it's because you're ...... Thinking about it, Hajlan felt that he was messy, so he gave up thinking about this problem, handed the written letter to Brother Jiu, who carefully folded the letter and put it in the envelope, and then looked up at Hajilan with a smile.

"What an extremely handsome little guy!" Hajran said darkly.
