Chapter 113: The Prince's and Princess's Small Theater

After the eldest brother moved into Yikun Palace, he grew taller and his face was rounder, and he went in and out with Yongzhang every day, and he made great progress in reading and shooting. Yongzhang likes to play with the big boy, the brother's relationship is getting closer and closer, and sometimes he will invite the fourth elder brother and the fifth elder brother to come to Yikun Palace to eat snacks, the eldest princess and the fifth elder brother live together, and it didn't take long for them to get together, just like a big sister, with a group of stinky fart children to drink around, even the sixth elder brother who can speak smoothly does not let go.

Yongzhang is reading, and reading is not good. Riding and shooting, riding and shooting is not good. Sometimes he twists and squirms, and likes to be coquettish in the arms of the green orange. But when it comes to affinity, it is one among the brothers. Xu is because of the relationship between Qingcheng and spoiling, Yongzhang is used to doing nonsense in the world of Yikun Palace, and the Queen Mother likes him, except for being afraid of the emperor, he is comfortable and free in the palace, so in the relationship between brothers and sisters, he is frank and open, respectful to his brother, humble to his brother, and everyone likes to play with him.

On this day, Yongzhang dozed off in class, and the teacher slapped him with a few feet of haha beads. After the school ended, the emperor announced that the brothers went to the Heart Cultivation Hall to ask for homework. Yongzhang was afraid that the emperor would be scolded when he asked, so he conspired with the eldest brother and decided to pretend to be sick and not go. The fourth elder brother was clever and said: "It's not okay to pretend to be sick, Huang Ama knows that it is the crime of bullying the king." ”

The eldest brother said: "What should I do then?" ”

The fourth elder brother thought about it seriously and said, "When I was a child, I fell into the imperial pond and coughed for half a month. ”

The eldest princess smiled coldly and said, "When you were still a child, have you grown up now?" ”

The fourth elder brother puffed up his chest and raised his face and said, "I will be six years old soon!" The eldest princess glanced at her and said, "I'm already six years old, little boy." Then he leaned into Yongzhang's ear and said: "Listen to me, you do a hundred push-ups first, then cover your forehead with a hand stove, and then tell the chief master that you have a headache, he thinks you have a fever, he must be afraid, and he will let the eunuch send you back to Yikun Palace." The eldest elder brother also felt that this method was better than that of the fourth elder brother, so he instigated Yongzhang to draw a scoop with a gourd.

Yongzhang first planned to do 100 push-ups, and when he reached the 40th, he was already sweating profusely. The eldest princess looked very good, so she desperately stuck the copper stove on Yongzhang's head. When it was almost over, let the eldest brother go and tell the chief master that Yongzhang had a fever. The chief master is a Han man, full of wealth, and a nerd. Seeing that Yongzhang was sick, he was very frightened, and hurriedly asked the eunuch to carry Yongzhang back to Yikun Palace. When the emperor summoned him, he asked, "Why didn't the third elder brother come?" ”

The eldest princess's schoolwork is not as good as that of several elder brothers, but she has also been studying in the south study, and she has the right to pass the time, learn more and learn less, and the emperor doesn't mind. The eldest princess said eloquently: "Emperor Ama, after dinner, Yongzhang had a fever, and the chief master asked him to go back to Yikun Palace first. The emperor was worried, called Wu Shulai, and said, "Go and ask the third elder brother if it is serious." ”

Wu Shu came and went.

The emperor continued to ask the eldest elder brother, the fourth elder brother, and the fifth elder brother about their homework, and in the end, he asked the eldest princess a little more. Coming out of the Heart Cultivation Palace, the eldest princess said triumphantly to the eldest brother: "It's still the way I want to go!" The eldest brother said: "Be quiet, don't let people hear it." "The night is getting dark, the eldest princess takes the fifth elder brother back to Changchun Palace, the eldest elder brother goes back to Yikun Palace, and the fourth elder brother goes back to Yanxi Palace.

After school the next day, the fourth elder brother proposed to visit the third elder brother in Yikun Palace, and the eldest princess said: "Are you greedy for pure Niangniang's cuiyi bean cake?" The fourth elder brother rolled his eyes and said, "No, the eldest elder brother said that the third elder brother really had a fever last night, and I was worried about him." "Yesterday Yongzhang did forty push-ups, tired and sweaty, sat on his shoulders and returned to Yikun Palace, blew the wind on the road, the fake play came true, and vomited five or six times at night.

A few people played all the way to the Daode Hall, but the grandmother said that the third elder brother was resting in the pure master's bedroom. The fifth elder brother was curious and said, "Can I sleep with Eniang when I am sick?" The eldest princess pouted and said, "How is it possible?!" The fourth elder brother answered and said, "Anyway, my mother never let me sleep with her, boys have to be brave, what is it when they are sick." In the words, it is sour.

When he arrived at the courtyard of the main hall, he happened to meet Hai'an under the porch, and hurriedly entered the house and said, "Master, the eldest brother, the eldest princess, the fourth elder brother, and the fifth elder brother are here." Qingcheng was thinking about the silver taels to be used in the new year with Concubine E, and after listening to Hai'an's words, he hurriedly let them in. The three elder brothers and the eldest princess all respectfully greeted An, and the eldest elder brother asked, "Is the third elder brother better?" ”

Yongzhang heard a sound in the dormitory, ran out with his shoes on, and said with a smile: "Little problem, what are you afraid of." Obviously he hadn't seen him for a day, as if he hadn't seen him for hundreds of years, and the eldest princess jumped and jumped up and down in his arms. Yongzhang blushed and said, "I still have some coughs, don't infect you." As he spoke, he covered his mouth and coughed twice.

The eldest princess smiled: "Don't be afraid, you're fine." She thought that her own plan had caused Yongzhang to fall ill, but when she saw that he was fine, her heart rejoiced. Yongzhang knew that the eldest princess liked the rabbits he brought back from Chengde, so he ordered the eunuch to fetch them, and several people gathered around the table to feed the rabbits radishes.

Concubine E herself did not have children, and when she saw the noisy children, she suddenly became envious in her heart, and secretly thought that maybe the emperor would look at it for the sake of the pure master, and let her have a child. Whether it's a prince or a princess, she likes it all.

Night gradually fell, and the concubine said goodbye and returned to Jingren Palace.

Er Qi specially made two tables of snacks for the princess and elder brother, the eldest princess and the fifth elder brother lived in Changchun Palace, the queen was strict, and they were never allowed to let go of their belly to eat, especially the eldest princess, who was afraid that she was not good-looking, and only let her eat seven or eight points full at every meal, and the sweets were particularly restrained. Not to mention the fifth elder brother, the queen rarely takes care of him, where will the grandmothers do their best. Although the fourth elder brother lives with his biological mother Concubine Jia, but Concubine Jia is a member of the Li family of the foreign dynasty, and likes sweet and spicy food.

Therefore, this dazzling and fragrant dim sum is tantamount to heaven for a few children.

The eldest princess took a bite of Saqima and said vaguely: "Chun Niangniang, can I still come here tomorrow to use snacks?" When the fifth elder brother heard the eldest princess say this, he echoed and said, "I'm coming, I'm coming." Qingcheng became a waiting grandmother, wiping her hands for this one and drinking saliva for that one, she smiled and said, "This matter requires the consent of your imperial mother." Speaking of the emperor's mother, the eldest princess was a little frustrated, so she stopped talking, and blindly stuffed food into her mouth, for fear that she would never be able to eat again.

The fourth elder brother fell in love with a plate of hot and sour chicken feet, he felt that Chun Niangniang was very kind, and he was not afraid of her at all, and said, "Chun Niangniang, can you give me a bag of chicken feet?" I want to keep it for Ming'er. Qingcheng smiled: "Of course." He also instructed Er Qi to pack the rest of the kitchen in a food box and hand it over to the fourth elder brother's little eunuch.

A few little guys laughed and laughed, and seemed to be full of strength to overturn Yikun Palace.

When the emperor entered the Yikun Gate, he heard laughter from a distance, was stunned, waved his hand to call a eunuch, and asked, "What's the matter?" The eunuch said: "Long live the lord, the eldest princess and several elder brothers came to visit the third elder brother, and they are now having a snack." The emperor walked to the door in a few steps, and without waiting for the palace people in the corridor to pass the word, he lifted the curtain and entered the house.

I looked at it and stayed where I was.

It's okay to eat all over the table, I don't know what kind of funny thing it is, the eldest princess doesn't have a ladylike demeanor, she opens her teeth and claws and laughs with a mouth full of snacks. The third elder brother and the fourth elder brother hugged each other and grabbed something, but the fifth elder brother was silent, holding a roast chicken leg and biting his mouth greasy. Only the eldest brother is serious, holding the sixth elder brother in his arms to play.

The sixth elder brother was the first to see the emperor, revealing two rabbit front teeth, and shouted in a milky voice: "Emperor Ama." ”

It was like a gust of wind blew away all the laughter and scolding in an instant. It was a pause for a long time before the house was full of noise. laughed, lost food, and didn't even have time to wipe his mouth, so he knelt down to say goodbye. The slave and maid who was waiting also bluffed, held her breath, and retreated to the corner, her head in her chest.

Qingcheng blessed his body, and smiled first: "Didn't you say that you came with a late snack?" ”

The emperor glanced at her, as if he was angry, but the sixth elder brother rolled into the emperor's arms with his calf in his hands. He pinched half a piece of minced meat in his hand, handed it to the emperor with a small face, and said, "Give it to Huang Ama to eat." The emperor sighed, looked helpless, picked up the sixth elder brother, ate the baked cake in his hand, and said, "Get up." Then he asked, "Yongzhang is cured?" ”

Yongzhang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Xie Huang Ama cares, and the sons are no longer in trouble. ”

The fifth elder brother ate too much, and couldn't help but burp, the room was too quiet, and it seemed that his hiccups were very loud, like a fart. When the emperor heard this, he couldn't help but smile. He laughed, and the sixth elder brother also giggled. The sixth elder brother smiled, and several elder brothers couldn't help it, covering their mouths and looking at the fifth elder brother and smiling secretly.

The fifth elder brother's face turned purple and red, and he said to the ground: "The son of the minister has lost his honor, please ask the emperor Ama to forgive the sin." The emperor stopped talking, and everyone was a little afraid. The eldest elder brother knelt down and said: "People have three urgency, the fifth elder brother is young, and he can't help but be common sense, please don't punish Huang Amma." Yongzhang also knelt down and said, "Big Brother is right, please ask the emperor Ama to forgive his sins." The fourth elder brother had nothing to say, and knelt down with Yongzhang. The eldest princess was about to speak, when the emperor spoke, "Did I say that I would punish him?" Get up! ”

They were brothers, and the emperor was a little happy.

Qingcheng saw that the emperor's face was dark, so he said: "Are you hungry, do you want to use snacks?" ”

The Emperor said, "Very good." The eldest brother thought that the emperor was going to be late, so he said: "The retainer will not disturb the emperor's meal, and retire first." The eldest princess, the fourth elder brother, and the fifth elder brother also agreed. The emperor said, "Since you have bumped into it, let's finish eating with me and then leave." He smiled and said, "Have you ever eaten rose dew?" ”

This rose dew, but the emperor's favorite, there is no one.

However, the eldest brother despised the emperor in his heart, and said secretly: Aren't all the sweet and sour things eaten by the eldest princess? But his face was silent and obedient.

Erqi cleaned up the broken table, re-served the snacks, and gave everyone a cup of rose dew. The emperor intended to be close to the princes and princesses, but they were bound and did not appreciate it at all. Not long after, Changchun Palace and Yanxi Palace sent people to interrogate, and the eldest daughter of the emperor took the opportunity to take the fifth elder brother to resign, and the fourth elder brother knelt down with him, and then the eldest elder brother and the third elder brother also returned to the moral hall.

The emperor didn't even run out of lates, and they scattered in a hurry.

Back in Changchun Palace, the eldest daughter of the emperor and the fifth elder brother went to the queen's house to say goodbye, knowing that they couldn't hide it, so they told them one by one about visiting Yongzhang, leaving a late snack for Concubine Chun, and meeting the emperor. The queen was angry in her heart, but she couldn't say that the pure concubine was not, and said: "You are a girl's family, and you will be allowed in two or three years, so you have to think more about everything." I am your mother-in-law, I want to be in front of you in everything, so that you can eat less and eat less, and it is also for your good. After all, Concubine Chun is an outsider, where will she really think for you? ”

The eldest daughter of the emperor said busily: "What the emperor said is true, Min Yue kept it in mind. ”

The fifth elder brother thought that the queen was going to reprimand him, so he kept standing with his head down. Unexpectedly, the queen only asked: "Fifth elder brother, did the emperor ask you about your homework today?" The fifth elder brother said: "I have asked." The queen glanced at him twice, and said with a wry expression: "Okay, it's getting late, you all go back and rest." The two of them knelt down, but they retreated.

When he arrived at the palace corridor and opened the nursing mother and eunuch beside him, the fifth elder brother said in frustration: "Why did you say that the emperor only asked me?" Am I doing something wrong? The eldest daughter of the emperor patted him on the shoulder and said, "You haven't done anything wrong, didn't the emperor say that Concubine Chun is an outsider, and compared to me, you are also an outsider." ”

The fifth elder brother said: "In that case, why don't you let me live with Concubine Yu?" ”

The eldest daughter of the emperor thought about it, she was older than the fifth elder brother, and she had more worries than the fifth elder brother, and she knew that it was because of the low rank of the concubine that he could not live with his biological mother. But if he told the truth, he was afraid that the fifth elder brother would be sad, so he told a little lie and said: "Huang Ama wants a sister-in-law, and the grandmother in the palace said that you are raised under the knee of the emperor's mother, and it is easy to attract a younger brother." ”

The fifth elder brother nodded with a twisted face and stopped talking.

The fourth elder brother saw Concubine Jia waiting at Yanxi Gate from a distance, and hurriedly trotted forward and said, "E-Niang, go back to the house, don't freeze." Concubine Jia had been standing in the wind for half an hour, caressing the face of the fourth elder brother and asking, "Why is it so late?" The fourth elder brother said: "I accompanied Huang Ama to have a late snack." Concubine Jia herself has few days to see the emperor, and it is rare for the fourth elder brother to be close to the emperor, and said happily: "What did the emperor say to you?" The fourth elder brother then told Concubine Jia about the cause and effect of the incident, and the two mothers and sons chattered and slowly entered the house.

Qingcheng accompanied the emperor to have a snack, and the two were separated by the flower hall, one was serving the sixth elder brother in the back room, and the other was making folds in the study. The sixth elder brother was too excited to play just now, and he didn't feel sleepy at all at this time, jumping on the bed, tossing and turning, but he refused to sleep. Qingcheng pretended to be angry and said: "If you don't lie down well, Emperor Ama will come over, and I will have to scold you." ”

The sixth elder brother was not afraid, and said with a smile: "But I still want to play for a while." ”

Qingcheng hugged him and stuffed him into the quilt and said, "It's late, the baby has to go to bed earlier to grow taller." The sixth elder brother said: "Can I be as tall as Huang Ama when I grow up?" In his opinion, the emperor is the tallest man in the world. Qingcheng softly reassured: "You have to go to bed early to be as tall as Huang Ama." ”

The sixth elder brother suddenly stiffened his body, closed his eyes tightly, and looked like he was at home.

Qingcheng was half-crooked beside the couch, supporting his head with one hand, gently patting the sixth elder brother with the other, humming a little tune softly in his mouth. The sound reached outside, and if there was none, the emperor couldn't help but put down his pen and paced into the back room.

He leaned over to the tent and said, "Are you asleep?" ”

Qingcheng put his index finger to his lips and said faintly: "I'm asleep, don't make any noise about him." She got up slowly, asked the grandmother on duty to blow out the lamp, said a few words, and pulled the emperor out.

As soon as she got outside, the emperor hugged her and gnawed on her, Qingcheng pushed his face away and said with a smile: "What are you doing?" The emperor said: "I finally came to the harem, what do you say?" "Since the high emperor and concubine are ill, this is the emperor's first night to enter the concubine's bedroom. Qingcheng pouted and said, "What's so hard, I gave it to Concubine Jin a few days ago." ”

The emperor unbuttoned her, stretched his hand in, pinched it, and said with a smile: "It's not for you?!" ”

Qingcheng is not a fool, he can naturally understand the meaning of the emperor's words, although he is a little jealous, he reluctantly forgives him in the end. She has a slender waist, takes off her wide robe, and wears a forged red coat, showing her slender posture. The Emperor paused, took half a step back, and looked at it for a moment before tearing the knot behind him.

He hugged her to the couch, kept moving his hands, and said, "Sixth Elder Brother is more than two years old, it's time to wean." Qingcheng knew his idea and said, "It started to break as early as when I was in the palace, and I was only fed by the nurse at night." The emperor increased his strength, sucked the orange painfully, and couldn't help but muttered "um".

The two of them were warm in the spring boudoir, it was inseparable, and suddenly they heard the sixth elder brother crying loudly outside, "Eniang", Qingcheng pushed the emperor away, turned over and sat up, took the robe on the truss casually, and held it in vain, about to leave. The emperor is ready to fly, it is simply a hundred thousand urgent, and the angry crown is rushing. Qingcheng was a little embarrassed and said, "Wait a minute, I'll come when I go." ”

The emperor grimaced and said, "Can this wait?" ”

Compared to him, Qingcheng still thought about his son, leaned over and kissed the emperor's face. The emperor beat his chest and stood, and followed with his shirt. The back room was lit, and Qingcheng asked anxiously, "What's the matter?" When the nurse saw the emperor with a blue face, she was so frightened that she was at a loss, and trembled all over: "Qiqi pure master, the sixth elder brother has a nightmare. ”

The sixth elder brother was full of tears, kicking his hands and feet, but he didn't wake up.

Qingcheng shouted in a distressed soft voice: "Yongying, wake up, E-Niang is here, don't be afraid." Yongying opened her eyes, calmed down, and muttered in her mouth: "Eniang, don't go." Qingcheng held his little hand and said, "E-Niang is not leaving, E-Niang is not leaving." She coaxed softly, and in less than half a cup of tea, the sixth elder brother was already asleep.

The emperor waited in the room with his hands on his chest, his face calm and silent.

Qingcheng was afraid that he would say that he would send the sixth elder brother back to the elder brother's house, so he flattered him with a shy face, rubbed on him, and said, "Fortunately, Yongying lives with me, otherwise he has a nightmare, and the grandmothers will not coax him wholeheartedly." The emperor ignored her and turned back to the bedroom, and Qingcheng continued: "Shall we continue or not?" ”

The emperor glanced at her and said, "I'm not in the mood." ”

He was awkward like a child, Qingcheng thought it was funny, took out the trick of the sixth elder brother, took his hand and shook and pinched, pinched his voice and said in a milky voice: "Okay, okay, Huang Ama is not angry." ”

The emperor had goosebumps and said, "Who is your Emperor Ama?" Run off at the mouth. ”

Qingcheng hooked his neck with both arms, twisted his body and pressed it up, and said, "Then don't be angry, otherwise I will keep calling you Huang Ama, Huang Ama, Huang Ama..." The Emperor sneered, "You little thing, it's..."

Seeing him smile, Qingcheng was relieved.

As soon as the mourning period of the noble concubine passed, the sky was completely cold, and the goose feathers were snowing heavily every day, and the north wind was howling. If it was this time in previous years, Qingcheng would just nest in the room every day to draw patterns, eat some stomach-warming snacks, and transcribe a few scriptures to pass the time. But this year, she is in charge of the six palaces, not only to prepare the meals and songs and dances at the New Year's banquet, but also to set up a booklet to arrange the rewards and gifts of the princess and princess and the minister's wife.

At this point, it was very busy.

Qingcheng is not on the shelf, Yongzhang likes his brothers, sisters and brothers, and the children in the palace are completely conquered by the kitchen in charge of Er Qi, and they must come to Yikun Palace every few days to make a fuss. On this day, a few people squatted in the corner to watch the rabbit eat turnips, the squirrels peel chestnuts, play around, I don't know how happy. After the business was settled, Qingcheng heard the laughter and looked at them under the porch.

Now that no one is afraid of her, the eldest princess took Qingcheng's hand and said, "Chun Niangniang, can Xiao Ash let me take it back to Changchun Palace to play for a few days?" "Ash is the name of a rabbit. Qingcheng said: "Xiao Ash was raised by Yongzhang, you have to ask him." If he agrees, you can take it back. The eldest princess didn't take Yongzhang in her eyes at all, and said, "Yongzhang agreed." ”

Qingcheng asked, "Yongzhang, did you agree?" ”

Yongzhang was reluctant to let go of Xiao Ash, but he respected the eldest princess as a sister, so he said: "Eniang, I promised the eldest princess." When the eldest princess heard this, she smiled sweetly, pinched Yongzhang's face, and said, "The third elder brother is so kind. ”

Qingcheng thought sullenly in his heart, and said, "Why is she like Huang Ama, she loves to pinch people's faces." At this time, the sixth elder brother shouted for Qingcheng to hug, Qingcheng came back to his senses, leaned over and picked up the sixth elder brother, and couldn't help pinching the sixth elder brother's face, and said, "Yongying, you have grown up, and Eniang is about to be unable to hug you." As soon as he said that, Yongying was afraid that Qingcheng would let go, and his feet and hands stuck to Qingcheng like an octopus.

A palace person came over to say: "Long live the Lord has arrived at Yikun Gate." ”

The emperor has already decreed, it is cold, let her not go out to meet her, just stay in the house. But Qingcheng was trying to walk around at this time, the court had been swept away with snow and sprinkled with grass ash, she held Yongying and walked slowly into the courtyard, not necessarily to greet him, but he came, and she took it casually. The emperor only followed Wu Shulai by his side, saw her holding Yongying, and said with a smile: "Is it cold?" ”

Qingcheng stood up, waited for him to get closer, turned back together, and said, "Yongying is like a fire, not cold." ”

The emperor snatched Yongying from her arms and said, "He is also heavy, I will hug him." The emperor hugged Yongying the most, but the rule in the palace that he didn't hold his grandson was still there, Qingcheng said: "I'll hug it." The emperor smiled slightly, put Yongying on his shoulder, held Qingcheng's fingertips, and said, "This way I can hold your hand." ”

Qingcheng also smiled, and he was not reluctant.
