Chapter Fifty-Seven: Ci Ning Reminiscences
In Cining Palace, the night is getting deeper, and the smell of benzoin in the furnace makes people can't help but sleep.
And the mother and son under the light chatted for a long time without sleepiness.
After dinner, Emperor Kangxi simply put down the troubles of political affairs during the day, and wanted to accompany the elderly queen mother more, and the mother and son enjoyed the family together.
Because of the small turmoil on the chrysanthemum banquet, the queen mother refused the queen and other concubines to accompany her, and only let the emperor drive Luan, followed her phoenix, and returned all the way to her Cining Palace.
After a day of hustle and bustle, at this time the mother and son sat facing each other, each holding a cup of tea, through the quiet night, you can see a bright moon from the window lattice, as if looking down at the earth, but also want to listen to the window lattice, the mother and son usually do not talk about things.
At this moment, both mother and son in the moonlight are thinking about someone.
This person is the first empress of Emperor Kangxi, the wife of the deceased for many years, the Empress Hesheri of filial piety.
After a long sigh, the Queen Mother said emotionally: "Emperor, after many years, you may not remember it for a long time. But the mourners will never forget ......"
"In the year of your wedding, the magnolia flowers in the imperial garden haven't bloomed so beautifully for many years. I looked at the two of you wearing auspicious clothes for the first time, and I really felt like a pair of fairy couples. ”
"The mourning family remembers that the day of your wedding ceremony is the 28th day of the first month, and it is an auspicious day for the mourning family to ask someone to take the eight characters of the two of you and find someone outside the world to count it for you."
"On that day, the queen's ascension to Fengyu should be the third quarter of the first month of the Zichu from the main hall of the mansion, the first quarter of the Zizheng to the East Chang'an Street, the second quarter of the first quarter of the ugly ten to the East Chang'an archway, the second quarter of the first month of the first five minutes to the Qianqing Gate, the third quarter of the Yin Zheng to the eaves of the Qianqing Palace."
And the mourner stood under the eaves, and gave her the vase and the apple with his own hands. The mourning family remembered that her appearance at that time was very delicate, a delicate little appearance, and the mourning family looked left and right, and there was indescribable joy in her heart......"
When Kangxi heard this, a pair of deep eyes seemed to be ignited by a little light, and his eyes burned and continued: "E-Niang is right......
"On that day, I don't know who placed a brazier at the gate of the Qianqing Palace early in the morning, and pressed two apples with a saddle on the threshold. The queen did have a beautiful appearance that day, and she was a beautiful person. ”
Seeing her smiling, I walked into the main hall gently, Yingying and I performed the "account ceremony", and went to her Kunning Palace like a cloud. ”
"I've never seen her in all these years, with eyes that speak like her. Like her, a woman whose cheeks were already crimson before she could speak. And they're just doing it. ”
"By the time I arrived at Kunning Palace, she had already changed out of her dragon and phoenix robe, changed into a court robe and gown, and her long hair was also pulled up and combed into a scarred flag."
"I'm so happy to see it, look, the most beautiful woman in the world is my hair-tied wife......"
"When I was married to the queen, a female official from the Ministry of Internal Affairs moved into a banquet table and laid a mattress under the edge of Longxi's bed.
"I sat on the right side of the table, and the queen sat opposite me. When I picked up the glass, she looked at me and smiled at me, and then she was too shy to pick up the other glass, wrap her arms around me, and drink a glass of wine together. ”
"The dishes of that day were also very bright, and she and I ate very humbly to each other, and while eating, we heard under the eaves outside the palace, there were guards and couples with knotted hair drinking and exchanging songs in the Manchu language of the Qing Dynasty......
The Queen Mother stared at the front with Emperor Kangxi stupidly, and said with a smile: "You don't know how relieved the mourning family was when they saw you standing side by side. The mourning family felt at that time that the biggest wish in this life was finally gone. ”
"Later, did the queen use her children and grandchildren to eat? There are also two of them that the mourning family personally packed. If not for anything else, just for the sake of taking one, a good omen for good things to come in pairs. ”
Emperor Kangxi nodded with satisfaction, and said leisurely: "The emperor personally gave the bag, how dare the ministers not use it?" Naturally, it was used. Otherwise, how could the queen give birth to six heirs for me in a row, and how could I have such a smart and beautiful child as Yinren......"
Speaking of this, Emperor Kangxi suddenly stopped talking for a while, obviously recalling the tragic memories when the first queen died of hemorrhage shortly after giving birth to the sixth prince Yinren.
The queen mother blamed herself again and again in her heart, why was she so careless, and asked the emperor to follow her, recalled the past many years, and hurriedly said to Kangxi: "Emperor, the past has long since disappeared." No matter how sad and melancholy you are, it will not help. It's no wonder that the mourning family shouldn't always bring up the old things, provoke the emperor to relive the old dreams, and the scars will not fade......"
Emperor Kangxi heard Huang Eniang's guilt-filled self-blame, took a deep breath, and said with a smile: "Huang Eniang doesn't have to worry, these past things, Erchen usually rarely traces, where is there such a thing on weekdays, you can do whatever you want, and spend a while in front of Huang Eniang." The government affairs of the previous dynasty had already made Erchen very busy. ”
The Queen Mother stared at Emperor Kangxi with affection, and said with concern: "E-Niang has always known that for so many years, the bitterness in your heart. You haven't received much decent fatherly love since you were a child...... Now that you have become a father and have so many children, you love them one by one......"
Emperor Kangxi smiled slightly and said: "Huang Eniang, everyone has their own lives, and the sons have got enough, so there are no complaints." Erchen also felt from the bottom of his heart that the emperor had done her best for Erchen since she was a child, and it was not easy to live in this life. Therefore, Erchen wants to honor your old man, and I hope that your old man will watch me sit firmly and enjoy all the glory and wealth in the world. ”
When the Queen Mother heard this, she couldn't help but say, "What a stupid child." The mourning family doesn't care about any glory and wealth, what the mourning family cares about is that you are not only sitting firmly in the country, but also so young and promising, not only a bright monarch, but also a loving father. The mourning family watched, that one by one little Miao Miaoer, in a blink of an eye, all looked like a talent, I Daqing under the rule of the emperor of the country, the people, seeing this, the mourning family thought, one day, the mourning family in this world, living tired, living tired, close their eyes, go to the underworld, and your emperor Ama finally met, whether he cares about these or not, I have to tell him personally, how prosperous our Qing Dynasty is now......"
Emperor Kangxi said lightly: "Huang Eniang, don't say such things." Your body is so strong, as long as you take care of your body, you will definitely be able to accompany your sons and daughters to enjoy the blessings of a thousand years. ”
The Queen Mother smiled faintly and said: "When people are old, they all have to die, and the mourning family has long looked down on this matter of life and death." It's just that there is only one thing in my heart, and I have always been obsessed with it, and I don't know whether to talk about it in front of the emperor or not? ”
