Chapter 44: The concubine is eccentric
The Manchurians have the custom of marching in autumn, and before the Mulan Autumn Festival has begun, Kangxi has already begun to itch, and is ready to bring a group of concubines, princes and close ministers to Nanyuan to enjoy it first.
The momentum of this day was very immense, and those who got the order were Guifei, Hui Concubine, Rong Concubine, De Concubine, Yi Concubine and Wei.
In the past, the concubine often had to stay in charge of the harem affairs, and since she had four princes, she has now collected the custody of the prince, so she naturally has more shares to fight for.
Concubine Rong, who has always rarely gone out, is also very happy, and she can go out of the palace to see the scenery, and she can't help but feel relaxed and comfortable.
This time I want to go to the palace to stay for one night, and the next day there will be a unique polo match, I heard that the polo match of the people is very intense and beautiful, after all, their riding and archery skills are not covered, Jing Yu also felt both excited and looking forward to it.
The living conditions of the palace are incomparable with the palace, but it has a unique style, although the space is smaller, but the arrangement is warm and elegant, everything is available, and it is very clean.
Jing Yu felt that after the crossing, the whole person was full of lazy muscles, just more than half an hour's drive, and he already felt bumpy and tired, and after looking around, he collapsed himself on the couch, but he was still in a good mood.
Then there was a palace eunuch to report the itinerary of the two days, Jing Yu didn't know where the 'Gourmet Xiang Pavilion' was, it was said to be a big tent set up on the edge of the green water in the wilderness, as a palace for dining.
It's also very happy to think about it, I remember that there was fresh goat's milk locust soup last time, very sweet and soft glutinous, now I remember it vividly, I don't know what is fresh this time, it must be different from those steamed meat and braised meat jars in the palace, uh - she is a foodie.
The little eunuch said that there is a bonfire dinner in the evening, this is better, the bonfire party in the Qing Dynasty should be quite original, I am looking forward to it.
In fact, the main event of this trip is a polo match tomorrow afternoon. So when it was noon, Meimei went to the big tent to have lunch, and then went back to wait for the evening project.
Many concubines with children accompanied the little prince and princess to the horse farm or the surrounding closed pasture to play.
Jing Yu also went to take a look, and the little eunuch in the racecourse was very enthusiastic. The eunuch chose a docile pony for her, which just happened to fit her petite body, riding a horse in the natural wilderness, and the wind and grass were blowing, and it felt really extraordinary.
In the evening, a huge bonfire rises and illuminates as if it were day.
The musicians who came with the palace were present, babbling and auditioning, not the Shao Le chimes at the time of the feast, but the brighter, louder and lively drums, the 'band' composed of the like, this formation, like a concert - music is really no place and no time limit.
The moon star, the scene began to liven up, everyone joined hands around singing and dancing, followed by a few male dancers dressed in shaman costumes dancing shaman dance, the dance steps are very atmospheric and rough, plus the hand with a variety of bells with different sounds and colors, the sound of Ding Ling is very lively, but also full of a mysterious exotic style, but this is not strange for the Manchu people of shaman culture.
Many people went up to dance along, and Jing Yu couldn't help but join them and dance with them.
After the group dance, some people coaxed Yi Concubine to dance.
Yi Concubine is not stunned, her graceful posture and dynamic dancing posture won the applause of everyone.
Manchu women are basically good at singing and dancing, followed by the passing of flowers, and when Yi Concubine passed the flowers to Jing Yu, Jing Yu was instantly dumbfounded and resisted in her heart.
She dragged her steps and was pulled into the arena by Yi Concubine and a few dancers.
What can I do about this, the concubine can't do it.
Kangxi saw that the atmosphere stiffened for a moment, and said, "It's okay if you don't jump." ”
"The emperor is so eccentric!" Yi Concubine shouted: "Everyone is just having fun, the Manchu daughter dances when she hears the sound, how can anyone not dance?" ”
Jing Yu knew that Concubine Yi had no malicious intentions, she just didn't look down on anyone who robbed Kangxi, and she would be jealous of anyone who got Kangxi's favor. shook his head at Kangxi and said to the musician: "Knock a four-beat." ”
She plans to sing "When Will the Bright Moon Be", and chose this song because the lyrics will be remembered very clearly, because when she was in junior high school, this was a must-memorize ancient text that was once memorized to the familiar brainwashing, and the melody was beautiful, and it was almost the Mid-Autumn Festival, which was very appropriate, and the most important thing was that this lyric would not worry about losing the vest at all in ancient times.
In fact, think about it, when I was studying, I was also a literary and artistic activist in the school, not only participated in the song and dance troupe to learn piano for a few years, but also the captain of the chorus.
Concubine Hui was dumbfounded, still waiting to see this usually very restrained, uncoordinated limbs, but the result was to win the applause of the house.
Kangxi didn't expect that she could not only dance, but also sing so movingly.
Jing Yu knows that she sings averagely, but this pop song adds a lot to her singing.
The next day, the concubines all came to the polo field early, set up a viewing platform on it, and under the guidance of the eunuchs, they came to the viewing platform one after another.
This viewing platform is very spacious, it is the design of the pavilion verandah, and the surrounding area is open, just to be able to clearly see the whole field, no matter which corner you sit in, the line of sight is extraordinarily open.
Kangxi took the lead, wearing a riding outfit to enter the arena, and the people on the opposite side also entered one after another.
As he spoke, the game began to be raised, and the atmosphere in the field was tense, and the game began to become more and more enthusiastic.
Just when he was looking nervous, he was sweating for Kangxi, Jing Yu was suddenly poked by a fleshy hand, and turned around to see that it was the fourth elder brother.
Well, it's my own baby!
Suddenly rose to a strange strange and familiar rush, but still a little closer.
"Yinzhen." She said.
"Mother Niangniang!" Yin Zhen smiled brightly and reached out to hug him.
Jing Yu's heart was melted, although as this brain, the "son" is still a little distant, but the first reaction is that he can't deceive people, this baby is a baby born of this body, ten fingers and a mother, there is a natural feeling.
She suddenly had a sour nose, I don't know why, where did I get moved, I felt so amazing, there was a little milk baby and called her mother Niangniang, she was really well-behaved, cute and bearable.
After playing with the fourth elder brother for a while, whether he had grown up with Tong Jia's family until now, or whether he was closer to her mother-in-law, after playing for a while, he said that he was going to find Eniang, and Yueyao took the fourth elder brother to the concubine.
After a while, Yinren also came, now Yinren although eight or nine years old, but looks like a teenager young man, tall and strong, he just went to the horse farm to ride a pony back, after the mother concubine Niangniang salute, he went to the side and put the two bags of arrows into his quiver.
The fourth elder brother, who was originally in high spirits in the chrysanthemum cake, saw that his brother had taken away his arrows, so he went to his brother to ask for it.
Yinren frowned, raised one hand high, and said, "It's enough if you want it!" ”
Yinren couldn't reach it, and said angrily: "Why did my brother take away my arrows?" ”
"You're so young and you can't ride a horse, it's a waste if you want this!" Yinren shouted.
Although the fourth elder brother is young, it was prepared by the emperor Ama to order the horse farm, twenty arrows per person, and now they are all snatched by his brother, and he is gone, and he can't understand it at a young age, and he is even more unwilling, so he rushed to ask his brother for it.
Tong Jiashi frowned and showed displeasure, and scolded Yinzhen: "Yinzhen, this is what my brother got first, can't you let my brother have a little?" ”
When Jing Yu heard this, her mouth opened wide in shock.
Tong Jia's handling of the problem is really rough and simple!
For a four-year-old child, what is the reason for letting him let a half-grown brother?
Originally, what about Tong Jia's family towards Yinzhen? What about dealing with the problem fairly and impartially? What are you doing now? Just because Yintuo is the prince and is also raised by her, did he start to change his face and follow the prince?
Jing Yu finally realized an old mother's mentality, and her heart was full of 10,000 righteous indignation, and she almost wanted to step forward and take back the plate in Yinzhen's hand to Yinzhen, but she still resisted it - calm, keep calm.
