Chapter 118 - The Queen Wants to Adopt (Second Watch, Celebrate New Year's Day)
On the ninth day of the ninth month of September in the twelfth year of Shunzhi, Gengyin, Double Ninth Festival.
Yesterday, Hongyi had another fulfilling day: getting acquainted with Mara's brother and Tuo, gathering the most pro-soldiers of the Rakshasa team, Ji Kaisheng calculated Geng Zhaozhong, the son of Geng Jimao, for himself, accepted Tan Qian as his staff, recognized Kong Sizhen as his sister and got Sun Yuanhua's military book as a meeting gift, and also initially implemented his own and "reborn mother" Concubine Kang's little harve~ palace conspiracy, with this rich result, little Belle Ye slept exceptionally sweetly.
This morning, Hongyi got up early, dressed refreshed, and routinely went to the East House next door. Today is the Double Ninth Festival, according to the customs handed down in the Ming Dynasty, the royal family will get together today to eat flower cakes to celebrate, and then the emperor Fulin will personally go to Jingshan to climb the heights, "to Chang Qiu Zhi". On this kind of grand day, Hongyi can't leave the little brother Fuquan behind.
"Ahun! Ahun! As soon as he entered the gate of the East Lodge, Hongyi began to shout.
"Xuan Ye, you have to be steady!" While speaking, a little Belle who was also dressed neatly came out of the main hall without hurrying or slow!
It was Fuquan who was eight months older than Xuan Ye who came, if it was according to the current folk customs, after the New Year, this little master who was Enfeng Baylor could be counted as three years old. Although the gestures are also as cute as "cute pets", I don't know if it is because of the influence of Xuan Ye, who was born through the crossing, Fuquan is also very precocious, and he has the spirit of Lord Belle and the eldest son of the emperor in his gestures.
"Oh, Xuan Ye has seen Big Brother!" was criticized by others, and the meritorious Beile Xuanye hurriedly stood up in order. Throw off his little horseshoe sleeves and say hello to his brother seriously.
"Get up, brother, why be polite?" The child on the other side looked serious, there was really such a thing!
"Hehe, big brother, do you want me to give you a hug gift?" Hongyi, who got up, looked at the little prince's behavior, was very happy, and was ready to tease him.
"Oh? Isn't the hug ceremony for our elders? My mother didn't tell me, if you give me this hug ceremony. What should I do? Fuquan, who was about to get off the platform, was stunned. Stand there and ponder.
"Then you can bring it back to me!" Hongyi continued to tease.
"Well, well, I see, isn't it just Buku hugging around? All right. Come on. Let's compete! "Fuquan figured it out.
"Ah...... Slowly, slowly. Let's not try it today, Huang Ama will lead us to greet Huang Ma Ma in a while, it's not okay to stain this clothes! "As soon as I saw my little brother pulling his sleeves, I was ready to come for real. Hongyi hurriedly hid behind Park and poked his head out to persuade him.
"Yes, yes, big brother, the hug ceremony is not Buku. Besides, today is the Chung Yeung Festival, don't you want to go to Cining Palace to eat flower cakes? Park hurriedly smiled and dissolved.
"Oh, yes! Although eating flower cakes is not as interesting as Buku, but eating flower cakes made by Aunt Su Ma is really good! Let's go, Xuan Ye? Fuquan changed his mind. Hongyi knew that Su Mala was actually very good to Fuquan, and on the surface, she really couldn't see the difference between the eldest son and the second son of the emperor in front of her, which must also be the meaning of the queen mother.
"Huh!" Hongyi learned from the appearance of the little eunuch, and only promised to give Fuquan a gift, and the two of them smiled and got on their respective shoulders together, and went separately to find their own mothers to salute the emperor together. It's just that Fuquan didn't know that his younger brother Xuan Ye on the side was sneering proudly at the moment: As long as you don't "come like a spring breeze overnight", it's easy to do it if you don't cross over into a smart child like me! Play well at a normal level in the back, my little brother! Hongyi thought.

Half an hour later, Emperor Fulin led a large group of concubines, two elder brothers and a few Gege, gathered in Cining Palace. Joining in the fun, there are also several concubines left by the first emperor Taiji. Headed by the mother, the prince of Heshuo Xiang Bomu Bogol, and the great concubine of Yijing, Borzigit. Zhong Muna[1]. Although this is also the Borzigit clan, it is not from the Korqin department, but from the Abayuan department, and the two families are distant relatives. Bumu Butai and Zhong Muna can also be regarded as cousins.
Every festival, it is the most lively time in Cining Palace, the queen mother took a little brother in her arms, and instructed Su Mala to go on this and that, a group of concubines and children laughed and laughed, and a group of palace maids and eunuchs shuttled back and forth, and everyone was happy.
Fu Lin is also in a good mood, and he often says a few words of Tang poetry and Song lyrics with Kong Sizhen on the side, and the relationship is very close. The Queen Mother saw it in her eyes and was happy in her heart: as long as there is no chance for the Dong E family! Even Zhong Muna looked at it, and felt a lot of relief in her heart: her son's Fujin is safe for the time being.
Hongyi sat on the throne of Huang Mama, facing everyone, and saw clearly. Inadvertently, he and Concubine Jing's eyes met, and for a moment, Hongyi clearly felt the surprise and anger in the other party's eyes, but it was fleeting, and he was still calm as usual.
"The queen mother, the emperor, after the New Year, the eldest brother will be three years old, and the second elder brother will be three years old, the princes and princesses will be favored by the emperor and live in harmony with each other, it is really the blessing of the queen mother, the concubines and the Qing Dynasty!" The queen also seemed to touch Concubine Jing's gaze, so she put down the pastry in her hand and took the lead in praising it.
"Yes, yes, it's all thanks to the blessings of the Queen Mother, the concubines and the emperor!" A group of concubines heard the queen's words and hurriedly followed Yinghe.
"Good, good, you can all talk! My two little grandsons are really getting stronger and stronger day by day! Emperor, their daughters-in-law have made great contributions. The Queen Mother was happy and echoed. The concubines on the side also agreed.
"What the emperor said is very true, and the ministers know it in their hearts!" As he spoke, the emperor glanced around his wives and concubines, and everywhere he looked, all the women, from the queen to the concubines, had to get up and give a half-squat salute.
"It's not enough to count, Emperor, you still want the rain and dew to make their stomachs bulge, don't you say?" The queen mother came to such a sentence. It's good now, all the concubines are ashamed and blush. Bow your head and say nothing. Only the concubines said yes on the side, and you don't have to be too cold when you say anything to me. The emperor didn't want to "lie down", but kept silent.
Seeing that the main characters couldn't get off the stage, Hongyi was just about to help, but he heard Fuquan on the other side stuffed a mouth full of flower cakes as he wished, and muttered:
"Huang Mama, let you ...... Eniang...... Paunch...... What's the use? Are they hungry? There's so much to eat here...... Flower cake? ”
This sentence can be regarded as a relief, and everyone laughs stupidly.
"You are still young, Huang Ma Ma is asking them to give you a few more Dou Dou [Manchu: younger brother]! Would you rather not? The Queen Mother smiled and reached out to wipe the dim sum residue from the corner of Fuquan's mouth. explained.
"Oh. Dou Dou? Huang Mama, Dou Dou doesn't need too much, one Xuan Ye is enough! In the future, Xuan Ye will be a great minister, and I will be a general. We are one article and one martial arts. Keep the emperor and the country! "Three-year-old Fuquan has his own understanding. And fast-talking. Maybe in his mind, now that Emperor Ama has the two of them, he has no worries.
As soon as this statement came out. Everyone was a little embarrassed at first: this blessed sentence seemed to make many concubines hopeless. Even the Queen Mother didn't answer, and her heart was not very comfortable. At the critical moment, Yijing's concubine Zhong Muna hurriedly made a move, but she couldn't let a little brother ruin the emperor's current good mood:
"Big brother, your emperor Ama still has to give you more Dou Dou, otherwise you will be a general, and the following deputy generals and staff leaders, how can you do it without your own brothers? Isn't that reasonable, huh? haha……”
Seeing Fu Quan carefully break his fingers and calculate how many sinus sinuses will be born before he can make up the number of deputy generals and staff leaders under his hands, everyone couldn't help laughing.
The Empress Dowager knew that this was Fuquan's childlike words, and if she was Xuan Ye, she wouldn't have spoken like this. So he turned his head and asked Xuan Ye:
"Xuan Ye, do you want Dou Dou?"
Hehe, I'll give you a standard answer! Hongyi put down the snack in his hand, stood up, faced the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, knelt in the middle, and greeted Fuquan, who was counting there:
"Big brother, come over too!" Between the words, he did not hide his authority, and Dong E's brows frowned.
"Oh, here we are!" Fuquan was obedient, and hurriedly knelt down with his younger brother.
"Erchen wishes my emperor Ama a flourishing branches, dragon veins and longevity, and I wish the Qing Dynasty from generation to generation and enjoy the four seas forever!" Hongyi led a sentence.
"Oh, my sons wish the Emperor Ama Zhi...... Dragon...... Good fortune...... I wish me a great ...... Enjoy the world forever! Fu Quan obviously didn't have enough brains, so he could only outline it, and when Xuan Ye took his second retelling, he slipped down.
But even so, it can be regarded as the only two elder brothers in the royal family who "sound in unison" wishes!
Fu Lin was really happy when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, you are still young, you all have to be obedient." Hurry up and study the civil and martial arts diligently, and in the future, I will assist me and your emperor Ama to be a wise ruler of the country! ”
"Sons obey orders!"
The little performance entered its first climax in laughter.
"Queen Mother, the two elder brothers are really my great blessings! The daughter-in-law has another please, please decide. "This is the queen speaking again.
The queen mother is a little curious: her niece and granddaughter can talk less on such occasions on weekdays, and she can not open her mouth without opening her mouth.
"Tell me about it?" The Queen Mother smiled and agreed.
"The daughter-in-law watched the two elder brothers grow up day by day, and there was no man and half woman under her knees to serve the emperor. I wondered if I could ask the Empress Dowager to move these two elder brothers to my palace, and I would take care of them day and night to help the Qing Dynasty's imperial lineage! "The queen spoke with sincerity and sincerity, without the slightest hypocrisy.
"This ......" The Queen Mother obviously didn't expect it, and was silent for a while. The emperor on the side instantly widened his eyes, and he couldn't think through it.
"The queen mother, the daughter-in-law has no other intentions, the rules in the palace, the prince must find another residence when he is young. Now that they are all just growing up, they naturally need to be taken care of, and they will be able to teach them according to their aptitude in the future. Besides, living with me is much more comfortable than the five schools in Qiandong. The empress promptly quoted a famous saying from Confucius, the purpose of which was to win the emperor's approval.
"Xuan Ye thanked the emperor for his love!" Hongyi didn't wait for the queen mother to speak, and suddenly stood up and saluted the queen.
The queen smiled but didn't answer, waiting for the superior to make a statement, but she whispered in her heart: Stinky boy, it's all your electronics, are you satisfied?
The queen mother and the emperor behind him were stunned: Why did this little guy agree first, this is not like your usual style!
Just when everyone thought that Xiao Xuanye hastily agreed, he continued:
"However, the sons and daughters are still young, and they can't take care of their own food, clothing, housing and transportation, so if it is convenient to come to the Qiandong Fifth Institute, they can't bother the emperor about everything. The eldest brother is older than me, he can go to the emperor to set an example and honor you! ”
"Ah......" Everyone was dumbfounded! Especially the concubine Dong E below, it is like a thunderbolt. His son has finally grown up to the present, although he can't be with him day and night, he has nothing to do, but he can soak in the East One all day to take care of him. If you go to the queen, not to mention that your son is not her own, it will be much more troublesome to meet than now!
"Oh, Erchen Fuquan is willing to go to the queen's mother and set an example for Xuanye Ahun!" Fuquan followed his younger brother and became an assistant in a daze.
"What do you mean, Emperor?" The Queen Mother smiled and looked at Fulin.
"Huang Eniang, the meaning of the ministers, now the two elder brothers are thriving, and the two subordinates are also doing their best, there is really no need to bother. This harem trivial, the queen still wants Zhou Quan, if she takes care of the prince again, it is really difficult. Brother is raised, and the queen mother mentions, naturally there will be no difference. Fu Lin nodded at Xuan Ye on the ground, but did not pay attention to Fu Quan. I thought: Seeing that Xuan Ye is reused by me, you Borzigit clan want to come and insert a bar again, don't think about it!
"Well, what the Emperor said is very reasonable! Queen, your painstaking mourning is clear, and the emperor knows it. The Queen Mother answered.
"Yes, yes, I know. The queen is hard! Fu Lin hurriedly agreed. For this nominal wife, the emperor sometimes can't help but give face.
"Catch Ming'er and wait for you to conceive the dragon seed, don't you have to work hard to raise you, right? From the perspective of the mourning family, it is better to let the two brothers accompany them in the five institutes in Qiandong, and it is also convenient for Fan Chengmo and other Longxing Shengji Day lecturers to serve as masters and train them more. The Queen Mother made up her mind. She also thought in her heart: Since the birth of this little Xuanye, I have taken care of and trained it myself, don't you know? Why did you suddenly bring up this file, it's really disappointing!
So, in a hurry, the concubines and concubines were still scattered at the end of the song, and only the queen and Concubine Jing stayed, waiting for their aunts and grandmothers to ask.
Hongyi smiled and passed by the queen's side, and after saluting respectfully, he was about to leave triumphantly......
"Xuan Ye, you come with me!"
"Huh!"
What are you looking for me?
