Chapter 109: Patrol (8)
Everyone saw the tenth elder brother showing his face like this, and naturally had different tastes in their hearts, if they wanted to say what he did, others were not unable to do it, but they didn't expect this layer, so everyone looked at the thirteenth elder brother at the same time, but they didn't expect the thirteenth elder brother to sell Guan Zi until now, saying that his gift was offered at night, because the effect could only be seen at that time, and the queen mother was naturally not bad at such a time, so she smiled and nodded. { With}{ Dream } Novel ัww{suimะตng][lฤ}
Seeing the birthday gifts of Concubine Yi and Brother Ten Brilliant one after another, Hajilan was very happy, she hoped that this was the case, she couldn't steal the limelight, but she couldn't be too low-end, the best thing was to tend to be middle and upper, which was not only in line with her identity as the queen mother, but also not to attract jealousy, but because Hajilan used Mongolian wool thread to weave gloves embroidered with some unique patterns of flowers, birds, fish and insects and the cloak style was novel, especially the embroidery of the cloak was very much to the queen mother's like, I saw a lush green pine standing on the back of the cloak, several cranes hovering in it, forming a pattern of longevity, the predecessor is a pattern composed of peony flowers, plus a few snow-white pompoms swaying in it on the tether, it seems to be both festive and chic, so the queen mother tried it on the spot, and naturally won the admiration of everyone present.
And then everyone eats together, although the Queen Mother has an edict to stop the feast, it is only for the state banquet, and a small family banquet is still possible, it is a birthday banquet, and longevity peach noodles are naturally indispensable. The birthday banquet was used, although several princes did not have colorful clothes to entertain their relatives, but they also said a lot of jokes, and the atmosphere of the audience was very lively.
"Huang Mama," said the thirteenth elder brother who stood up and bowed to the Queen Mother, "The gift of the grandson is not only to be offered at night, but also to go outside to watch. โ
"Emperor, look," the Queen Mother said to Kangxi with a smile, "I also said that Concubine Yi has a lot of things, and it seems that there are really a lot of things here." โ
"Little Thirteen," Kangxi looked at Brother Thirteen with a smile, "You just toss it like this, if the gift offered for a while can't satisfy your Imperial Mother, don't complain that I will punish you." โ
"Huang Ma don't worry," the thirteenth elder brother said with a grin, "Huang Ma will definitely say yes in a while." โ
"Oh, you're so confident?" Kangxi raised his eyebrows and said.
"Of course," the thirteenth elder brother looked at the Queen Mother with a smile, "Huang Ma is so kind, where is she willing to let me be punished, it must be good or good, and bad is good." โ
"You would think," the Queen Mother said with a deliberately straight face, "but now I am not as good as you like, I have to be bad or bad, good is not good." โ
"If the Imperial Mother has to see her grandson be punished to be happy," the thirteenth elder brother said with a bitter face, and made a heroic appearance, "Then the grandson has no choice but to give up his muscles and flesh to do his filial piety for the Imperial Grandma." โ
"Okay, you little thirteen, you will be a fool," the queen mother was amused by the appearance of the thirteenth elder brother, and then said to Kangxi, "Emperor, why don't we give him a face, and go outside to have a look?" โ
"Great," the thirteenth elder brother waited for Kangxi to nod, and immediately came to the queen mother, "Huang Mama, my grandson has already chosen a place to display the birthday gift, and I am waiting for you to go over, didn't you just get a cloak?" Let's go in that. โ
"Okay, it's up to you." The Queen Mother nodded, and the palace maids waited for her to put on her cloak, and then accompanied by Kangxi and others, the thirteenth elder brother led the way outside.
Although it was outside, it was impossible for the thirteenth elder brother to lead everyone outside the palace, so he just chose a relatively empty place in the courtyard, and then asked people to bring a Taishi chair and placed it far away from the house, relatively speaking, closer to the courtyard wall.
"Huang Mama," after the thirteenth elder brother commanded the eunuchs to set up the chairs, he stepped forward and stretched out a hand to the queen mother, "Grandson is waiting for you to go over and sit." โ
"Okay, I'll let you toss it today, see what flowers you can toss?" The Queen Mother looked at the chair in the distance suspiciously, but she didn't ask anything, only stretched out her hand to support the thirteenth elder brother, and he helped him to sit on the chair.
After the thirteenth elder brother arranged the queen mother, he did not walk away immediately, but asked someone to move a chair over, set it up some distance from the queen mother, and then raised his voice and said to a few elder brothers, "A few brothers, please wait for the emperor Ama to come and sit here." โ
"Oh, and what about me?" Kangxi raised his eyebrows, shook his head at the brothers who wanted to come forward to help, and said, "I don't need your help, I will go by myself." However, you guys should also come along and take a look, and see what this little thirteen is going to do? โ
Several elder brothers agreed, and sat down with Kangxi in their arms.
The thirteenth elder brother saw that the queen mother and Kangxi were accompanied, so he left over there, and called the eunuch to bring a considerable thing that was also covered with a cloth, and placed it directly opposite the queen mother and Kangxi, of course, there was a distance in the middle, Hajlan visually inspected, it was about fifty meters away, but he couldn't think of what the thirteenth elder brother would do. It's not just Hajlan, no one who is present can figure out what tricks the thirteenth elder brother wants to play.
The thirteenth elder brother first asked people to leave all the lanterns around him except for one, and then took off the cloth on the object, but it turned out to be a concave mirror, not just a concave mirror, but a large concave mirror, with a diameter of about five or six feet, the thirteenth elder brother adjusted the concave mirror, so that it reflected the light of the only remaining lantern around him into a parallel light, and then shone it on the queen mother's body, and when the light was adjusted properly, the thirteenth elder brother shouted to the other elder brothers to get aside, And take the lamp in that place away from the Queen Mother.
So in the dark night, the Queen Mother sat alone in the circle of light, and the gold thread used by Hajlan to embroider on the cloak was also shining with a little golden light, and she looked like a fairy.
"Little Thirteen," the Queen Mother covered her eyes with her hands and looked at the Thirteenth Elder Brother, "What are you?" How do I feel warm, as if I am in the sun. Let your Emperor Ama feel it too. โ
The thirteenth elder brother moved the aperture towards Kangxi, and replied, "This is the Ruiguang Mirror, it can concentrate the strong light, just the light of such a lantern, it can make you feel like day over there, and in addition to making people feel warm all over the body, it can also shine far away, miles away, it can be illuminated." โ
"Really? I'll try. Kangxi felt it in the chair for a while, then got up and walked to the side of the thirteenth elder brother, and after probably asking how to use it, he began to operate, and sure enough, a pillar of light shone far away, if it wasn't for the courtyard wall, it would definitely be farther.
After seeing the thirteenth elder brother's birthday gift revealing his true face, Hajlan couldn't help but think of something in his heart, that is, the "searchlight", although it is not as good as the modern searchlight, but it is really a bit earth-shattering at the level of this era. These thirteen elder brothers are really smart!
Hajlan was thinking like this, the ninth elder brother went directly over and praised the thirteenth elder brother, and the tenth elder brother next to him nodded and agreed, and since then, on the way out of the tour, I have often seen these three elder brothers Jiao Jiao Meng, Meng Bu Jiao Jiao.
Soon after the queen mother's birthday, that is, on October 11, Kangxi and his party arrived in Xingjing, sacrificed to Yongling, and the next stop was Shengjing.
Kangxi first went to live in Fuling East, and on the second day, that is, October 15, he went to Fuling and Zhaoling to salute, drink, and mourn, and then lived in Shengjing City. When he was in Shengjing, Hajlan stayed in the backyard until he was about to leave for Beijing.
On October 21, Kangxi returned to Luan with the Empress Dowager, and at that time, the civil and military officials of Shengjing, as well as soldiers, people, merchants, men and women, old and young, all gathered in the suburbs, kowtowed and cheered, burned incense and knelt to send off.
Kangxi's current tour was in July, out of the ancient north mouth, through the Mongolian tribes, to the Songhua River and Jilin Wula, and then south to Xingjing to worship Yongling, and then to Shengjing to worship Fu and Zhaoerling, and the return journey was to take Shanhaiguan, and returned to the capital on November 13.
