Chapter 49: The Golden Autumn Crab Feast

Before and after the cold dew, it was late autumn, and the weather began to turn from cold to cold.

At this time, the crab roe were the fattest, and the palace began a crab roe banquet with a small gathering for three days and a large gathering for seven days.

Kangxi's physique is cold, and every time he eats it, he feels a little unwell, so he is not very enthusiastic about eating crab roe.

On this day, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager and Tong Jiashi held a banquet in Congcining Palace, and asked the eunuch to invite Kangxi. The emperor's grandmother invited him, even if Kangxi was busy, he would definitely find time to go.

Kangxi entered the palace gate with his front foot, and Xiaozhuang immediately ordered to open the fire and prepare food.

After a while, all kinds of dishes made of crab roe were put on the table one after another, and there were also many ordinary dishes, including a few dishes that Kangxi always loved to eat.

Seeing that Kangxi was vigorously picking a few chopsticks for those ordinary dishes of meat, Xiaozhuang said: "When the crab roe is fat, you can use some." ”

Kangxi smiled and nodded, and said, "If the imperial grandmother likes it, eat more." "It's rare that Xiaozhuang is now in his sixties, and he is very old among the emperors and queen mothers of the Qing Dynasty, but his appetite and body are quite tough.

"Hmm." Hyozhuang replied.

"The old lady forgot." Su Ma took the small golden bowl in front of Kangxi, put a bowl of crab roe porridge for him, and said: "Since Xuan Ye was born with smallpox when he was a child, his body's resistance was weak, and he had a high fever for a few days. ”

She handed the small bowl to Kangxi and said, "The emperor drinks some crab roe porridge, this is relatively mild, it's okay to drink a little." He said: "Xuan Ye, since then, my body has been cold, when has the old queen mother ever seen the emperor eat raw and cold things?" ”

Xiaozhuang patted his brain and said with a smile: "I think about it, at that time, Liu Yunhe said that Xuan Ye's body was a little cold. Looking at the mourning family, who is the emperor's grandmother, it is not as good as Su Ma that you are careful about Xuan Ye. ”

Kangxi picked up the small bowl and looked at the emperor's grandmother, full of complaining little eyes, and said, "The emperor's grandmother doesn't care about her grandson." ”

Xiaozhuang patted his forehead and said, "If the imperial grandmother doesn't love you, will she hand over the entire majestic Qing land to you?" ”

Kangxi put down the small golden bowl in his hand, looked at the imperial grandmother, and said, "Imperial grandmother, this is not a big gift for your grandson, but a big burden, okay?" ”

When he said this, he made Xiaozhuang cry and laugh, and blamed her grandson for beating him.

"When my aunt and grandmother met the emperor, the two grandparents always had to quarrel." Borzigit shook his head and said with a smile, and then said: "Su Ma's bowl of crab roe porridge is just right for the emperor's taste." ”

"If Aunt Su Ma is a nurturing aunt, she will definitely be able to take care of the children who are meticulous and teach them with a good temperament!" Kangxi took the handkerchief handed over by Liang Jiugong and wiped his hands, and said.

"That's it?" Xiaozhuang saw that Kangxi was about to get up and leave, and asked.

"Imperial grandmother, my grandson doesn't eat much at night, but I ate a lot today." Kangxi Road.

"Then let's go, it's okay to go and see them, don't let the harem be cold." Xiaozhuang admonished again.

"Yes!" The back of Kangxi's head had disappeared at the door, and he raised his voice to answer the words of the emperor's grandmother.

"Every time, it's done, but what should I do, this grandson." Hyozhuang muttered.

"Alas!" Hearing her say this, the Borzigit clan couldn't help but sigh, and said: "After Chenghu went, the harem did not pass on happy events for a long time, and later after Prince Gong's Chunxi came, although there were the eldest brother, the prince and Lan Qi, but in the final analysis, the emperor as an emperor, the heirs are still too thin. Every time he told him this, he said that he was himself and his emperor Amabi, saying that he was only two brothers, and the Qing Dynasty did not see anything to do. ”

Borzigit continued: "Although the emperor has been getting better and better recently, but recently, Wei's stomach has been moving a little, why is the rest still silent?" She approached Xiaozhuang, her eyes showed a slight fear, and said, "Could it be that there is something dirty in the palace?" Let's stop doing a ritual, right? ”

"Say what?" Xiaozhuang still listened to it in front, and then listened to Borzigit's last sentence, he was a little uncomfortable, and said: "I can't rush anything, the emperor is still young, and he will slowly get better." He is a young and arrogant person, and in the past few years, he was concerned about his political achievements, and all these things he did were shocking and breaking the habit, so he naturally neglected the love between men and women in the harem. No matter how much others urge these things, it is useless, everything has to be done by himself. ”

"That's what my aunt said." Borzigit Road.

"Wait." Xiaozhuang also ate well, took the handkerchief and wiped his hands, and said.

Borzigit was busy cleaning his hands, carrying the Empress Dowager to the Luohan couch, almost every day to come to talk to her old man, today's crab feast, dinner is over later, and the time has not yet come to go back to rest, so he will stay as usual.

"By the way, next month is your birthday." Xiaozhuang said: "Is there an arrangement?" ”

Borzigit said: "Aunt Lao's grandmother is worried that Tong Jia's family is very filial, and she has already come to the Erchen Palace to report it, saying that it will be a banquet in Cining Palace at that time, and everything should be arranged by her, and I am also relieved." ”

"She's a capable one." Speaking of Tong Jia's family, Xiaozhuang said.

"How could it be wrong for my aunt and grandmother to choose?" Borzigit tract.

"Since the funeral of the daughter of the Niu Hulu clan, if you stuff him with the daughter of an auxiliary minister, I am afraid that he will go crazy like his father to show you." Xiaozhuang said with palpitations: "This Tong Jia's family can be regarded as a good general, the most important thing is that her mother's family and our Xuanye's mother's family are a family, close to each other, Xuanye can't say anything." ”

"They all have thoughts and ideas, and if one is not satisfied, it will be amazing." Borzigit remembered that Shunzhi was infatuated with Concubine Dong E, and insisted on abolishing her aunt Meng Guqing despite the great opposition, and he still couldn't help but feel a little pimple in his heart.

"Huining (Tong Jiashi), this child, if she can be as generous as her aunt (Tong Jiashi, the queen of Xiaokangzhang), she will be able to gain a firm foothold in this harem and go for a long time." Xiaozhuang sighed: "It's just that her aunt has a bad life and went early." ”

Kikige's eyes suddenly seemed a little scattered, and he pulled out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth, and stopped talking.

Kangxi walked on the road, he didn't like to sit on the shoulder of that kind of transportation, he always felt that the squeaky was carried slowly and unrestrained, because he was good at riding and archery exercise, so his physical fitness was very good, so no matter what the situation, he only needed to take a sedan chair not very far, and he usually walked on his legs.

From Shoukang Palace to Qianqing Palace, he just passed through Yongshou Palace, and when he walked here, Kangxi remembered the crab roe porridge just now, and the first thing that came to mind when he drank crab roe porridge was Jing Yu's girl's figure, because some time ago, she personally made crab roe for him.

He almost forgot that he never ate crab roe.

However, in her place, she forgot about this stubble, and ate everything very sweetly.

Furthermore...... He suddenly remembered that the last time he ate crab roe at her's place, he really didn't have a stomach upset after he went back—I don't know if it was because she handled it very carefully, or because she added balanced and warm herbs and oranges, or some other reason?
