Chapter 16 - Props for Daddy

The newborn little prince took root in the second institute, and every day he eats people~ milk, listens to stories, watches everyone usher in the send-off, and thinks about his "past life and present life"...... In the meantime, on March 20, the 11th year of Shunzhi, "Huang Ama" issued an edict ordering his fifth brother, Zongren Mansion Zong Ling, and Prince Shuo Shuo of Heshuo Chengze, together with Wang Yuele of Duoluoan County, to replace himself for the little brother who had just turned three days to "wash three and beat smart[1]". The decree also made it clear that when the little prince was full moon, the emperor would personally "run a full mouth" in the reigning palace, and asked the relatives of the clan to go to congratulate him on the prosperity of the heirs of the Xinjueluo family according to Manchu customs.

Fulin, who has never been very attentive to the eldest brother, has been so affectionate to the second elder brother this time, which makes Concubine Kang overjoyed, but it makes Concubine Dong E's chest resentful, and also makes the queen mother feel quite "surprised", and decided to hurry up and implement her own "brake" Jihua.

Under the careful care of the "attendant team", Hongyi grew up quickly, and soon became fat and fat, which was quite lovely. Not only that, in less than a month, Hongyi secretly worked hard to learn Manchu, and after thirty days, in addition to not being able to read and write, there was no problem in understanding daily conversations. Even, he seized the opportunity of Park's chatter with himself to sing children's songs and tell stories in Korean, and learned the daily language of "Smecta" at that time. In fact, in the original time and space, Hongyi has lived at the forefront of reform and opening up since he was a child, and there are many Koreans in his city, and he also has a little Korean language skills. I can't stand it and have nothing to do when I'm full every day, only to listen to foreign languages. No, you can try it when you become a baby, and you can also try professional level 8! Fortunately, Hongyi was speechless at this time, otherwise the entire Qing Dynasty would have regarded him as a god and worshipped a "multilingual" baby who was not yet a full moon and could speak!

With the scheming and cleverness of the next 30 years, Hongyi silently observed the etiquette, etiquette, words and deeds of these people around him, carefully memorized and deliberately imitated. As the weather in Beijing enters April, the weather is getting warmer and hotter day by day, and the restraints on the baby Hongyi are becoming less and less, in addition to sleeping at night because of the custom of "sleeping on a flat head [2]" and suffering, but often can move freely on the kang, and will often make some moves beyond the scope of the baby, saying one or two sentences, and then four or five simple Manchu sentences, while provoking the Park and Sun families to laugh at the same time, they continue to report the various abilities of the little prince to the emperor and the queen mother. Out of his love for Hongyi as his own, the conclusions of the report zuihou are all auspicious words such as "auspicious from the sky, smart and extraordinary, and he will be able to take on a great responsibility one day"! In more than 20 days, the queen mother visited the East Fifth Institute four or five times, saying that she was visiting the two elder brothers, but she always settled in the East One of the eldest brothers, and then transferred to the Second Institute, making the concubine Dong E that envious, jealous and hateful! In particular, I heard that the palace maid came back and said that the rumors outside the palace had soon spread, saying that at noon on the day of March 18, Ouchi [3] Jingren Palace gave birth to a prince, holding Fang Ding, the instrument was Xuanang, and the sound was like thunder, and at the moment of birth, the sun was bright and the red sun was like fire, and all the rooms in the palace were bright and bright, no matter what corner you were in, and the little prince must be very prosperous in the future! Even the Empress Dowager and the Emperor went to Jingren Palace on an exceptional basis, and accompanied the little prince until dark before returning. And the concubine who gave birth to the little prince heard that she was immediately canonized as Concubine Kang, which is many times stronger than those concubines who gave birth to children! …… Hearing this, Concubine Dong Eshi couldn't hold back any longer, first scolded the palace maid, and ordered her to be punished by "Banzhu [4]", and she was so angry that she cried and fell to the bed, but she was helpless.

At noon on April 18 in the 11th year of Shunzhi, he was in the palace.

Seeing that the emperor was a little restless, Wu Liangfu deliberately turned a blind eye, and just kept adding tea and pouring water.

It is no wonder that Fulin is so out of shape, on the fifth day of the fourth month, the queen mother really promulgated the edict of "stopping the women from serving", in order to "strictly enforce the body and eliminate suspicion". Could it be that the emperor heard some rumors and wanted to cut off the contact between herself and her, cool and dilute their newly budding relationship, and let it die silently? No matter what, Fu Lin secretly decided that he would fall in love with her at first sight and would definitely die until death. In this, no one can change it! But today is the day of the full moon of the little prince, how did Wu Liangfu, the minion, do that thing? I don't want to get to the bottom of it, do you really want me to tell this matter myself! Thinking of this, Fu Lin looked up at Wu Liangfu and found that the old slave was peeking at him!

"Wu Liangfu! Cough...... cough ......" Shunzhi was in a hurry and coughed suddenly. Recently, his body has become weaker and weaker.

"The minions are here!" Wu Liangfu hurriedly stepped forward and stroked the emperor's back, with a look of concern.

"Don't come here for these useless things! I ask you, how is the errand? Shunji held back his cough and asked eagerly.

"If you go back to the master, the errand has been done, please relax the master!" Wu Liangfu then leaned into the emperor's ear and whispered......

Gyeongin Palace. Concubine Kang hugged her son, who she hadn't seen for several days, with a happy face. Although the queen mother cared for her, she always intentionally or unintentionally went to Qiandong Wusu to visit the two elder brothers, and then came to this Jingren Palace with the little elder brother in her arms, but compared to the mother's thoughts about her son, this kind of relationship is far from enough. Fortunately, under the care of Park and Sun, my son is getting stronger day by day, and he is smart and clever, and now he is pouting and shouting "Mo, Mo", as if he is practicing the pronunciation of "Emo" (Manchu mother) over and over again! It's really auspicious from the sky, he spoke so early, and when his grandmother and his mother entered the palace to ask for peace, they all said that the world has not heard of a full moon child to speak! Also, after a while, the emperor will personally fill his son's mouth, but this will make the entire ** concubines not envious of death......

"The old slave asks for peace to Master Kang!"

Suddenly, Wu Liangfu's disgusting voice appeared in his ears! And he is so arrogant that he says that he is an old slave, not a slave! As soon as she thought of that obscene and despicable face, Concubine Kang was resentful! But he is a concubine, and he can't compete with a minion, and he is still a slave who is favored by the emperor's side!

"Get up! What is the matter with Grandpa Wu? ”

"It's not that the old slave has something, but the emperor's ...... that he has assigned," Wu Liangfu said quietly.

Concubine Kang's heart sank, knowing what he said! This matter was told by Wu Liangfu under the banner of the emperor not long after the little prince moved to the East Fifth Institute, during which it was full of threats and intimidation, saying that if he didn't do it, it would be difficult for the little prince to see each other before he grew up! When I can see him, it will be difficult to say whether my son will recognize my mother or not! Under this threat, although Concubine Kang was 10,000 unwilling, she could only accept it. zuihou, Wu Liangfu said with a murderous aura: "The emperor said that the queen mother has too many things to do, don't bother easily, otherwise, hum ......" So, Concubine Kang also broke off the idea of asking the queen mother for help.

"Then Gonggong Wu will report to the emperor, and the concubines have been arranged......" Concubine Kang replied helplessly.

Hongyi in his arms heard it clearly, but he didn't know what the two were planning, so he had to stare at it. But when Wu Liangfu was proud, he saw that the little prince was staring at him, and he couldn't help but have a cold war, and he wanted to admonish Concubine Kang a few more words, but he couldn't think of anything all of a sudden. was stunned for a moment, dodged the three-point eyes, only said "That's good", and hurried back to the Yugong Palace.

When Wu Liangfu left, Concubine Kang hugged the baby Hongyi, and said in tears: "Son, is the mother doing evil......" Hongyi couldn't bear it, and hurriedly continued to shout "Mo, Mo", which made Concubine Kang burst into tears and laughed. Yes, with his son by his side, it doesn't matter if he is a blessing or a curse......

On April 18, the 11th year of Shunzhi, at night, he was in the palace. The palace lanterns were hung high, the ribbons were staggered, the nobles of the clan gathered together, and the little prince's "full mouth" celebration was held as scheduled. The emperor led the crowd to hold a ceremony to raise the claim. Fulin first invited the "descendant rope" from a pocket called "Buddha Buddha Duo Moxi Mother", and tied a small bow and arrow to it, representing the birth of the little prince, and then respectfully tied one end to the oblique pillar of the ancestral board in the hall, and the other end was pulled out of the door and tied to the willow branch that had been prepared for haode. Preparing to stop, Fulin led the entire family of the Aixin Jueluo royal family to bow to the ancestor board, and then the sacrificial ceremony ended.

"The emperor has an edict to give a banquet!" Wu Liangfu stepped forward and loudly announced the opening of the table!

Fu Lin looked very happy today, which also made the Queen Mother very satisfied, but when she saw the woman behind her who was now familiar and even silently "remembered" in her heart every day, her mood became cloudy.

"Su Ma, as soon as the wife was served, the emperor just wanted to hold a banquet for the second elder brother according to the customs of his hometown, you said there would be nothing wrong, right?" The Queen Mother asked in a low voice.

"Back to the Queen Mother, the slave maid has already asked the Zongren Mansion just now, as soon as the banquet is over tonight, all the Fujin Gege will leave the palace separately, and it should be fine." Su Mala is also bottomless in his heart.

The Queen Mother didn't speak, just watched, observed, and calculated......

After a while, the emperor really stepped down from the throne and came to the emperor's side to toast. After Fulin worshiped the Queen Mother, he received the "half-squatting" of all Fujin and Gege, and toasted with everyone. The whole process actually only had a brief eye contact with that little Fujin, and it was closed at the first touch, and there was no follow-up. With the emperor's graceful return to the throne, the queen mother and Su Mala put down the boulder in their hearts and relaxed, especially the queen mother, who kindly accepted the congratulations of the women, and talked and laughed with the women from time to time......

Baby Hongyi didn't have the time to observe the ladies of this big courtyard at that time, what kind of fortune, Gege, although there are also beautiful flowers, and there are extremely ugly ones, he is now being fully armed by the uncle of the Zongren Mansion and the aunt and aunt of the Aixin Jueluo family, and he is wearing a full coat and vest, riding boots and hats. In the distance, his grandfather Tong Tulai was presenting "Heyi[5]" to the emperor's main table; Here, his two uncles Tong Guogang and Tong Guowei are hanging up a yoga car for themselves, listening to the reborn mother tell me that this yoga is still used by his reborn Ama when he was a child, and it has always been treasured by the Park family; In front of him, all kinds of small clothes and small bells and other toys brought in by the royal family are dazzling, many of which are "new things" that have long been lost after 360 years and have never been seen or heard of by Hongyi; Next to it, the aunts and aunts of several clans put the two steamed buns together and held them for Concubine Kang to take a bite, which was called "full mouth". From this day on, she can increase her diet, and there are no more taboos, which is what the Han people call the confinement of the confinement. At the same time, the palace ladies successively served a large pot full of long noodles to each table, which means that they continue to live a long and healthy life, and the royal family members are busy scooping up the noodles, showing as if the royal family has endless joy...... It was lively for a while, and as the emperor who was on the throne raised his hand, everyone quieted down, and Concubine Kang hummed while pushing the yo-yo cart containing Hongyi-

Little Brother,

Yoyozha,

Your father has sent troops,

Large-flowered feathers,

bright red top tie,

The credit for the earned work is yours and your grandfather's.

Thou Amma sent out an army to Maka,

My sweet little baby, you wait,

O big flower feathers,

Bright red top,

The credit for the earning is your grandfather's. [6]。

……

Although he is the protagonist of tonight, Hongyi feels that he is actually a prop from beginning to end......

The prosperity was gone, the banquet was over, and people went out of Xihuamen one after another. Emperor Taizong's eleventh son, Bomu Bogol's Fujin Dong E[7], went alone, because his husband had been fighting abroad all the year round, and he had long been accustomed to going in and out of the palace alone. It's just that the originally peaceful life made waves after the Mid-Autumn Festival last year. That day, she served the queen mother, but the emperor came up, and she competed with herself about what crab roe to eat, and she let herself win, and she was willing to admit defeat by drinking, and then touched her hand intentionally or unintentionally...... Shame on you. I can't see Eleven Baylor all year round, and I have no sleep in the spring night, but I just met a handsome and dashing young offspring who has affection for him, but this offspring is still his own brother-in-law! It's just that this affectionate, handsome and chic uncle is still the current emperor...... Since then, the emperor's eyes are always hot when he sees himself, but his heart is still so useful and longing...... But tonight, the emperor was much colder, and he turned around and left in a hurry, feeling lost and aggrieved in an instant! …… It's messy, my heart is so messy! …… Fortunately, the queen mother has already made an edict and stopped ordering women to serve, so there will be no need to be so embarrassed in the future...... But Weishenme clearly has a little reluctance in her heart, and even some resentment, this black and swarthy palace forbidden, is it so nostalgic for herself? …… Oops, my face is so hot, do I think of that little uncle again? Shame on you......

The Fujin Dong E clan was thinking wildly, when he suddenly heard someone shouting: "Eleven Belle Fujin!" Eleven Belle Fujin! Please stay! ”

Isn't that calling yourself? Dong Eshi hurriedly stopped and looked back, but it was the chief eunuch who had been standing by the emperor's side tonight, and he was asking for peace.

"What's the matter with my father-in-law?" Dong Eshi asked.

"The slave saw Concubine Kang's master just now, and Master Kang said that he wanted to invite Fujin to Jingren Palace to see the little brother." Wu Liangfu bowed his head and replied.

"This ......" Concubine Kang is also familiar with each other, and she laughed in front of the Queen Mother earlier, but she always couldn't leave the two of them behind. But it's getting late, as for being in such a hurry to see the little brother again? Didn't you already see it just now? Besides, it's not the little kung fu he knows? …… I had a lot of questions in my heart, but I couldn't go against Concubine Kang's intentions.

"Oh, Master Kang said, I worked all night, but I didn't say a word to you, and Master Kang also said that after she gave birth to the second elder brother, it was not the same as before, saying that she wanted to talk to Fujin ......"

Dong E's face flushed, a eunuch knows what happens after giving birth, this is the trick that Concubine Kang wants to tell her how to give birth to a boy and a woman with Eleven Baylor......

"In this case, Ben Fujin will go."

"Please get on the sedan chair!" Wu Liangfu looked back and greeted a small sedan in the dark shadow not far away. "It's dark and the road is far away, Master Kang said please sit in a sedan chair!"

"Concubine Xie Kang's grace!" Dong E's style got on the sedan chair and disappeared into the darkness......

After a long while, Dong E felt that the sedan chair had stopped, and when he came out, he saw that it was not the regulation of Jingren Palace. was wondering, Wu Liangfu approached again, bowed down, and said, "Please come with the minions." Seeing that Dong Eshi was a little hesitant, he urged again: "Fujin, please!" Don't let the master wait long! ”

Hearing this, Dong E's family didn't dare to think about it, so he followed Wu Liangfu into the apse. As soon as he entered the door, someone blocked him, and when he looked up, Dong E was so shocked that he almost fainted! This master is not Concubine Kang at all, but ...... It's her brother-in-law! It is the emperor of today!

"The Emperor...... Emperor...... The slave and maid were shocked...... Slaves...... Master Nakang ......"

"Don't say it, Concubine Dong! You want to die! The young emperor didn't wait for Dong E's to continue to answer shyly and babble, and hugged the beautiful girl who had been coveting for a long time!

"Your Majesty! Emperor! Other...... Don't ......" said "don't", but Dong E's family was already soft, and Rourou fell into the emperor's arms. As soon as Fu Lin made a strong effort, he picked up Dong E's family horizontally and hurriedly entered the dormitory of the Yu Palace......

That night, Wu Liangfu sent the servants of the Dong E clan who were waiting anxiously outside the Xihua Gate, and Concubine Kang also sent someone to the Eleventh Baylor Mansion, saying that Fu Jin would stay in Jingren Palace tonight and return tomorrow morning......

In fact, how did Hongyi know that he and Eniang were both used as props by his own Amma!

[1] Manchu's "washing three and beating smart": on the third day of the child's birth, the "washing three" is carried out, and an old lady (called grandma) with both children and prestige is taken to the home, and the grandmother uses a large copper basin to give the child a hot bath, and nags while washing: "Wash your hair and be a prince; Wash the waist, one generation is higher than the other; Wash your face and be a county ......". Zuihou hit three times with a green onion, and said while beating: "One dozen smart, two dozen smart, three dozen clear." After saying that, the child's father threw the green onion on the house, and relatives and friends congratulated the child's parents together.

[2] "Sleeping flat head" is unique to the Manchus, that is, let the baby pillow with a small pillow filled with grain, this is called "head pillow granary", in the future, rich and noble, and let the baby lie on his back, for a long time, the back of the baby's head sleeps flat and flat. At the same time, babies sleep on their backs with flat backs and broad shoulders, which the Manchus consider aesthetically pleasing.

[3] At that time, the Qing court had not yet decreed the naming of Gongban as the "Forbidden City", and generally followed the common name of the Ming Dynasty as "Da Nei".

[4] "Banzhu" means that the punished court maid stands facing the north, bends down and stretches out her arms, and holds her feet with her hands. The body is not allowed to bend, and it must continue for an hour, that is, about two hours, and the general situation is that the punished palace maid must be dizzy, stiff and lying on the ground, and even vomiting into illness, until she dies.

[5] When the moon is full, the grandmother's family will steam the child with a "river ge" (a long snake-shaped noodle foal), which is commonly said to grow more hair after eating.

[6] A type of Manchu yoyo tune.

[7] You have to look carefully, the plot of this chapter needs to appear two Dong E, one is "Concubine Dong E", and the other is "Fujin Dong E", both of whom were later Shunzhi women. In history, there are a total of three concubines of the Dong E clan in Shunzhi who reigned at the same time! Sweat!
