Chapter 126: A Smart and Hateful Baby
On the thirteenth, Emperor Kangxi once again came to Xingxi Spring Garden to attend the birthday banquet of 13 princes and 26 emperors. On that day, Kangxi was also complacent and let the historian remember the thirteenth, and the princes set up a banquet in the garden of the third son of the emperor. ”
Su Li despised Kangxi's shameless behavior to the extreme, but she didn't dare to say that the eighteenth was the right day, and as usual, Lao Kang was going to accept the official congratulations of the ministers and envoys in the Taihe Palace, so that day was when Su Li should officially play, and today for her, she was a singing belt, and she could leave after singing.
Xichun Garden is actually rewarded by the old man, it is a royal garden, anyway, the old man is generous to the people of the whole country, and he doesn't want him to spend money. She followed the musicians into the "North Stage" of the I-shaped hall of Xichun Garden, and I heard that there is also a south stage, but this stage is three times larger than the south stage, and the front hall of the I-shaped hall is also the largest and largest hall in the park, which is more suitable for Kangxi, a big man.
Under the urging of Concubine De, Su Li was still wearing formal attire, fortunately, it was not hot, otherwise Su Li felt that she would faint, and fortunately she didn't plan to go out to dance, otherwise, she would have to be exhausted to death by this dress. But she thought about it, Concubine De actually asked Su Li to wear this dress to receive the reward, you must know that her dress of this grade can be seen on the head, Concubine De wants her to appear in front of the old man, forcing the old man to be embarrassed, and promote her in person, she thought that Su Li would change it when she danced. Kangxi said in Xichun Garden this time that he was accepting his sons' birthday wishes, but in fact, there were also arrangements, why are there only twenty-six imperial grandchildren? These thirteen are all adult princes over the age of sixteen, but except for the eldest son or concubine of each province, the imperial grandson under the age of eight is not allowed to come. In this way, some of the little elder brothers only brought one son, but the abolished prince's son-in-law Honghui came, and several of the eldest sons of the third elder brother were also sitting under the leadership of his son-in-law Hongsheng; Yin can only bring Hongshi, and the eighth has no choice at all, only Hongwang can bring.
Hiroshi looked very reserved. This was the first time he had participated in such a party, and Yin was usually not smiling, so he only silently followed behind Hongsheng, looking lonely. He glanced ahead intentionally or unintentionally, and Huang Marfa was talking and laughing not far from him, and Li had told him before he went out. Be cautious, be well-behaved and obedient, if Huang Mafa likes it, maybe the prince will fall to his own land, but the Li family didn't teach him how to please Huang Mafa. He could only follow behind everyone, kneel down and knock, and kneel down and knock again...... He could hear the laughter of Huangmarfa, and he even glanced straight at himself.
After the feast, everyone sat in the hall in front of the stage. Naturally, the emperors and grandsons stepped aside. In the middle is Kangxi, and naturally beside him is the mother who is still alive among the thirteen princes. Concubine De and Concubine Hui are the eldest, and their identities are currently the most noble. sat on both sides of the long-lived lord on the left and right, Concubine De held the one-and-a-half-year-old baby, and Concubine Hui looked at the busy Hongwang and sat in front of her. The eldest son of the emperor was circled, and the title was also taken, and Concubine Hui was left with only the eighth adopted son, so Hongwang also became her only grandson, so she naturally couldn't let Concubine De be beautiful.
Kangxi saw the baby at this time, and thought that he was a little unhappy about his order, and glanced at Concubine De. But seeing the baby's happy appearance still teased.
Concubine De did it on purpose, Su Li deliberately left Mingxin before going out, let Mingxin look at the baby, and let Concubine De not take it, how could Concubine De listen to her, what a good opportunity, naturally let Kangxi see more. accompanied the smile to show some helplessness, "Isn't Li'er going to perform for Your Majesty?" The concubine really didn't worry about the baby staying in the palace alone, and only the protest was brought. ”
Yin was also frightened when he saw the baby. looked at Kangxi nervously, of course he knew his mother's little abacus, but it was too risky. gave Fu Jin a look, Fu Jin understood, and hurriedly stepped forward.
"It's really the daughter-in-law who didn't think about it, let the mother suffer, the baby is coming!"
"Stay! Just watched his mother sing. Kangxi waved his hand, and when everyone came, he couldn't rush out, so he took an apple and prepared to hand it to the baby. When I saw the apple, I remembered what happened in the south study. I couldn't help but laugh and handed the apple to Hongwang. Li Dequan has followed Kangxi for so many years, and it is not in vain. I was busy cutting half of it, and I was ready to use a small silver spoon to scrape the apple puree and scrape it to feed the baby. Kangxi took the baby from Concubine De's hand, learned from the last Yin, and came to feed the baby, but it was Li Dequan who scraped on the side, and Kangxi was only responsible for feeding.
"Huang Ama. That ......" the third child was overjoyed to see Kangxi feeding. It's a little uncomfortable. Bother to do so much on your own. I can't catch up with a one-year-old boy.
"Oh. Let them get started! Kangxi didn't raise his head. The baby is more than a year old. The teeth are all grown. Eating apples in small bites like this is something he has long disdained to do. Although it is very comfortable to lean on like this. But it's better to hold and nibble on your own. So he sat up and found Li Dequan. After visually measuring the distance, he crawled to his feet. Holding Kangxi's collar with one hand. Snatched the half of the apple with one hand. Sit down again and lean back into Kangxi's arms. Holding the half of the apple in both hands, he nibbled on it.
Yin was about to cry. Now he knew why the old man didn't let the emperor grandson under the age of eight come out. What a shame! It's like there's no apples for him at home. Do you need to use the old man as a ladder to grab apples? He also used the old man's collar as a handrail...... I can't live anymore!
Concubine De first looked stunned. Babies can talk. In the palace, it is usually the baby who directs himself to cut the apple. How much to cut. He grabbed it and ate it himself. I didn't expect him to grab it directly in front of the old man. I was a little surprised. But I endured it for a long time and still couldn't hold back. He covered his mouth with a handkerchief and giggled.
Kangxi was stunned to see the baby finish a series of movements quickly, and then leaned back into his arms to nibble on the apple. Look at the silver spoon in your hand. Then I looked back at Li Dequan, who was staring blankly at himself empty-handed. Turn around and look again. I'm sure I'm right. The little monkey was impatient to eat apple puree. Just grab the apple. I really didn't know how to express it for a while. Concubine De's laughter saved the scene. Kangxi also laughed helplessly. He returned the silver spoon to Li Dequan. Li Dequan looked at the apple puree. Ruthless. I ate it myself. Kangxi laughed even more. The tears are coming out. Everyone had to laugh along. What are you doing together? Isn't it just the old man who is happy?
After the baby finished eating, he pulled out the apple, sewed Su Li on the placket, and wiped his hands slowly with a handkerchief. Wipe your mouth again. It looks very calm. I wasn't ashamed of what I had just done. It doesn't even associate everyone's laughter with their own behavior. He watched intently as the performance took place on the stage. At this moment. Except for him, no one paid attention to what was going on on stage. After a while. He heard the familiar sound of passing through the door. Busy jumped directly from the old man's lap. He made a silent motion. I listened very carefully to the door. Kangxi waved his hand. Everyone was quiet immediately.
On the stage, the palace maids dressed in white Luo clothes walked out of the small door, and the door ended at this time. Su Li's slightly hoarse voice came out of nowhere, and the baby actually sang along with Su Li's singing, and Su Li's voice was light and soft. And the baby's childish voice, with each other is seamless, a song, lingering, no one on the I-shaped hall speaks, applause.
The baby looked at them with disdain, first bowed to Kangxi and them, and then turned around and bowed deeply in the direction of the band, showing a special Domingo demeanor. He followed Su Li to rehearsals every day, and that's how Su Li taught. But what Su Li didn't expect was. Concubine De will bring him here, otherwise Su Li will not teach him like this, of course, if she knows Concubine De's plan in the morning, she will also soak the baby in cold water first, and get sick directly. But now it's too late!
Yin didn't dare to look at it anymore, closed his eyes and took the prayer beads to recite the Buddha's prayers. It was Kangxi who laughed first this time, seeing that the one-year-old child didn't even speak clearly! I can actually sing, and I also sing the Book of Songs: "Good! Kangxi shouted loudly! Even so, Yin didn't dare to look at it. Concubine De hurriedly got up and pulled the baby to kneel, "I wish Huang Marfa a long life?" ”
"Huang Ma Fa has no borders!" The baby doesn't know what it means, just follow along.
"Reward! What about his mother? Why don't you just listen to the sound and see no one? ”
Only then did everyone realize that they had just seen a group of people dancing, but they didn't see Su Li. It's also that everyone is focused on the baby, who still pays attention to the dance! Li Dequan was busy calling people to proclaim.
Su Li was backstage, and when she was singing just now, she couldn't actually hear the baby's harmony. In ancient times, the stage of the rich and noble people was very exquisite. I am afraid that the applause of the audience will affect the wave of the people on the stage, so the sound on the stage will be amplified during the design. But the voices from the audience could not be heard. (It's not absolute, but it's true.) So she was relieved that she was done singing, and was ready to say hello to the musician and go back to the palace, first, she was worried about the baby, and second, there were a lot of things. Unexpectedly, a little father-in-law rushed to pass her by yelling, she sighed lightly, it seemed that she still couldn't hide, but on the way she still wondered, that dance was not very brilliant? I can't even count the level of professional K songs, that is, I have been familiar with singing with musicians in the past few days, Kangxi won't be so open-eyed that he even wants to appreciate this, right? So nervously followed the steps of the little father-in-law to the I-shaped hall, and honestly knelt down when she saw a bright yellow boot, and she didn't dare to raise her head, but soon she saw a pair of familiar little boots, embroidered with two white rabbits, Su Li was really about to cry this time.
"Eniang, what are you doing kneeling?" The baby squatted in front of Su Li, holding the candied fruit in one hand and wanting to pull Su Li in the other.
Su Li knelt beside him directly with the baby, and the baby was helpless, so he had to put the candied fruit into the small purse indiscriminately, and then learn to be the same as Concubine De just now: "I wish the emperor a long life!" After saying that, he kowtowed again.
Su Li is so dizzy! Lying on the ground, I almost want to find a hole to drill into.
"Niu Hulu, you wrote the song just now?" Kangxi couldn't hold back a smile and didn't tell her to get up, and tried to fix her.
"No, it was made by the mother." Su Li can push the point at this time, if she goes on like this, she really can't live anymore, Concubine De glanced at her, but she was really happy in her heart, and felt that Su Li didn't take credit or take credit, and she really didn't hurt her in vain.
"This kid is really, the concubine is only slightly modified from Li'er's humming tune, and Li'er also thought of using the verses of the Book of Songs to compose a song." Concubine De explained to Kangxi.
"The baby is also your place to teach?"
Su Li finally understood why the old man called her, and looked sideways at the baby on the side, Su Li didn't get up, and he didn't get up very righteously, but he didn't feel too good when he knelt on the ground and ate the fruit.
Su Li hated it so much, but she couldn't kill her relatives in front of the emperor, so she had to take a breath and lay down and said helplessly, "That ......" Yin cleared his throat, Su Li woke up and calmed down, "Back to the emperor, slaves sometimes bring babies when they go to rehearsals." ”
"So you didn't teach it, but how could he bow?"
Kangxi did it on purpose, it must be on purpose! Su Li hated it even more in his heart, pretending to be confused about the past, why do you want to ask so clearly, after Su Li scolded the villain ten thousand times in his chest, he said softly.
"When he returned to the emperor, the slave and maid saw that he had learned a similar way, so they taught him fun at will, and he never wanted to sacrifice his ugliness in front of the emperor." This time, I was not afraid, and the voice was clear and stable.
"What else was taught?"
Su Li was stunned for a moment, she didn't seem to have seriously thought about what to teach the baby, one and a half years old, what can she teach? It's enough to eat and drink, do you still want him to really become a prodigy? She only shook her head, Yin had to cough again, she sighed secretly in her heart, but still spoke, "Back to the emperor, the slave didn't deliberately think about teaching the baby anything, he was happy." ”
"Now the baby can recite the Book of Songs!"
"He doesn't know how to sing, he just sings, and he doesn't know the meaning of the poem, so it's just fun."
"Will you?"
"The slave and the maid will not either, the poem was given to the slave by the fourth master, the song was composed by the mother, and the slave and the maid just sang it." At this time, Su Li pushed the credit out, there were cotton pads on her knees, after the last injury, she also learned to be obedient, and honestly sewed such a piece on each of her trouser legs, but after kneeling for so long, she still felt a little trembling.
"Oh......" Kangxi was about to say something more, but the baby had already changed his posture and was sitting cross-legged, probably just kneeling tired. He was about to say something, but the baby had already spoken.
"Mrs., Ama, my mother, the baby is tired."
Concubine De hurriedly looked at Kangxi, Kangxi was depressed and thought about why the baby didn't call herself, glanced at the pale Yin couple, the two of them knelt down honestly, and the baby saw that Ama and his mother also knelt down, so he had to kneel down again, lying on the ground and shaking the little **, enjoying himself.
