Chapter VII: Anyang

Chapter 7 Anyang

In the early morning, Concubine De looked at her face in the mirror, the fine lines at the corners of her eyes, although they were covered by fat powder, but they couldn't be covered up for long anyway, she was also considered to be at the age of being old and yellow, although because of the indifferent personality she showed, she was in line with Kangxi's mind, and she still had honor, but what she said in front of Kangxi has gradually become more and more weightless.

I don't have a high background, my mother's family doesn't have much power, and there are not many people who can give Fourteen, and the only thing I can do is probably just to find a way not to let the fourth get in the way of Fourteen.

Everyone said that the fourth child was an honest man, liked to plough and read, and ate fasting and recited Buddha, but that person, after all, was her son, she knew in her heart that that person, in fact, from a very young age, only when he was a teenager, he had ambitions for that chair, although in recent years, he has changed a lot, and he has become almost unrecognizable. However, his ambition will not disappear, and every dragon and phoenix grandson, as long as he has ambition, it is impossible to give up easily.

Compared with other emperors, the emperor is the most special to Yinzhen, if it is ...... Hey, it seems that the fourth child's backyard still has to start with a storm, and the muddy water can only be fished, it is too clean, and it is not easy to control.

Concubine De stretched out and patted her face, cheering up, the corners of her mouth hooked slightly, and she showed her usual calm and indifferent smile.

However, no matter what Concubine De thinks, Zhiyun's life is not bad.

The weather is getting hotter, but the floating city has always maintained the most suitable temperature for human life.

The place where Zhiyun lives, he has taken a name called 'Lang Yuan', at the top of the World Giant Tree, connected to the tower of the Adamantite Mage Tower, but it is not in the same space as the student living area and teaching ground below, it is isolated, there are four oval lands suspended in the Lang Garden, which does not look big, but Ouyang has applied space magic, in fact, it is vast, and the magic contained on it is very abundant, and the attributes are earth, fire, water, and wind.

There is a botanical garden built on the 'soil', in addition to magical plants, it also includes two orchards, two grain and vegetable bases, and most of the food and drink in the floating city come from here.

'Fire' has a heavenly fire burning all day long, because the temperature inside is very high, except for Ouyang and Zhiyun, no one else dares to approach it for five miles, and it is connected to the large refining furnace of the alchemy laboratory, and it also transmits firepower to the entire floating city.

As for 'water' and 'wind', they are mainly leisure areas that Zhiyun likes, but at the same time, they are also connected to the space where students live, and students above the level can enter them on a regular basis, of course, there are restrictions.

Above the 'water' is a large lake built in imitation of the Mapanyong Tso Lake, the scenery is beautiful and magnificent, the water temperature can be controlled, if the temperature is cooled and frozen, it is a natural ice rink, Zhiyun occasionally comes to the interest, and will play double figure skating with Ouyang.

The 'wind' is the sports field, where there are many kinds of sports, and the most attractive should belong to the floating skateboard, because the students of the level can already make a simple floating skateboard, so there are often several students running here to play games and competitions, and occasionally Zhiyun will come to see.

Because Zhiyun established the Academy of Magic, the main purpose is to train apprentices, in that case, of course, it is impossible to work slowly and meticulously like cultivating a mage, therefore, the Academy of Magic adopts a grading system, and the students are divided into levels, no matter when they come to school, whether they are new students or old students, as long as they can pass the exam, they can be upgraded, and the student authority of each level is different, and now, the students of the level do not exist, only the July and October that have been with Zhiyun all the year round have reached the eighth level, and the secretary and sword are the seventh level, There are also eight levels, and there are more than five levels......

And in the first year of the students' arrival, in fact, the most critical time, if the freshman performs well at the first glance, then he will naturally get more resources, and he will get twice the result with half the effort when he learns magic, but if he can't enter Zhiyun's eyes in the first year and take a big step first, then it will not be very easy to catch up with the students who are walking in front in the future.

Therefore, the competition for new students every year is very fierce, of course, Zhiyun likes this kind of competition very much, it is easy to produce talents, anyway, as long as it is not vicious competition, she supports and encourages it.

The so-called flickering winter and spring, the cold and heat are suddenly changing. Zhiyun often felt that time slipped through her fingers in the blink of an eye.

Spring is about to pass, summer has arrived, Zhiyun and Ouyang have long left the Forbidden City and moved to their own territory, but they did not live in the Mage Tower, but lived in the farm above the 'soil'. First, the environment of the farm is good, and Zhiyun likes this environment. Second, this place is relatively close to the students, so it is convenient for Zhiyun to 'peek' at her future assistants when she occasionally gets sexual. Third, it is also to keep Zhiyun away from the laboratory kind of place, she has a child, and the alchemy experiment is never allowed to touch her hands.

The daughter-in-law now has a doll in her belly, although Ouyang did not put aside the errand at hand, no matter whether he has time or not, even if he is squeezed, he will squeeze out time to go to the floating city every day to talk to Zhiyun.

On this day, Zhiyun was in a good mood, and personally ran to the small pond of the farm, and commanded Ouyang to pick a large basket of lotus roots and lotuses. He also caught two yellow sheep from the botanical garden and cut off the lean flesh from the calves.

Zhiyun smiled and said, "Baby, my mother will show you a hand today." As he spoke, he asked October to help set up the stove, place the pots and pans and various colored materials, roll up his sleeves, take out a polished knife, chop the meat filling, sandwich two pieces of lotus root, wrap it in batter, and throw it into the oil pan to fry, as soon as the lotus root enters the oil, it immediately becomes charred yellow, and a fragrance comes to the nose, provoking Ouyang, who is spreading out the drawing paper and wants to continue painting under the grapevine trellis, can't help but be happy, his daughter-in-law is very lazy, and rarely cooks.

"I also borrowed the baby's light to taste the good craftsmanship of my daughter-in-law." Ouyang simply put down his paintbrush, took two high-waisted glass cups, took a bottle of home-brewed red wine, and helped clean up a few green vegetables, a white radish strip, a hot sweet potato, and a whole tomato and egg, stewed half a chicken, all home-cooked food, but this meal, Zhiyun's gluttonous mouth, actually did not protest, you know, Ouyang can't cook, this guy didn't even have time to go to the kitchen before, and now it is the first time in the two generations to wash his hands and make soup.

Full of wine and food, Zhiyun hugged his belly to eat, and leaned over to look at the painting made by Ouyang, on the table of the big bluestone, there was a good jade version of Xuan, on which were painted eighteen babies of different shapes, there were men and women, Zhiyun stretched out his hand, pointed at a child on the far left, and said with a smile: "This is the one in my belly." ”

It was a round, small face and frost and snow, pink and cute child, wearing a small cotton jacket with red flowers printed on a black background, a tiger head hat on his head, a pair of tiger head shoes decorated with red tassels on his feet, a purse hanging from his waist, and a jade medal in his hand, which was the one that Ouyang had carved carefully.

Ouyang's painting is excellent, at least much better than Zhiyun, the painting is vivid, vivid, this child's facial features, three points like Ouyang, seven points like Zhiyun, especially the pair of small dimples, so pitiful.

"Whew...... What if my son wasn't so cute? ”

Zhiyun was stunned, but he was inexplicably suffering from gains and losses, Ouyang raised his eyebrows, hugged his daughter-in-law's shoulders, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter what your child looks like, as long as you gave birth to him, he is the cutest in the world, besides, if this is not like this, let's have ten or eight more, there will always be similar ones." ”

Hearing this, she slapped him on the arm, Zhiyun couldn't help but smile and shook her head, how can this child's appearance be booked in advance, it's just a joke, but, she didn't think it before, now that she thinks about it, the child in her belly is a boy, not Zhiyun is patriarchal, but after all, she lives in such an era, and I don't know if there is a day when this generation can leave, girls always suffer more than boys in such a place.

Thinking that one day, after her baby daughter got married, she would have to compete with a large group of women for a man, Zhiyun felt angry. Ouyang probably knew what she was thinking, and smiled: "Don't think nonsense, even if our baby is a girl, I can keep her safe and happy all her life." You, the only thing to do now is to raise the baby safely and steadily, and strive to give birth to a healthy baby for me, as for the other things that should be worried about the future, that is my task, don't you often say? The biggest advantage of marrying me is that you have a free, hard-working coolie ......"

Zhiyun nodded, smiled in his heart, and felt that it was fortunate that Ouyang was here, and Ouyang was a person who liked to play wits games, and was willing to compete for the chair.

Think about it, if you marry a certain emperor, then in the future, your children will either be Gege or princesses, and the princesses of the Qing Dynasty will be easy to do? If one is not done well, it is likely to be married to Mongolia. Although there is a saying that if you enjoy the treatment of a princess, you should assume the duties of a princess, but it is not easy for Zhiyun to do it, so it is impossible for her to let her baby daughter make sacrifices for the so-called politics inexplicably. When the time comes, where will there be free time.

Even if she didn't marry the emperor, but just married the clan or someone else, I'm afraid that her daughter's husband and monarch candidate will not be able to be the master, and when the time comes, for the sake of the child, even if she feels bored and disliked, I am afraid that she will have to work hard to plan and plan, and may even confront the most powerful part of the Qing Dynasty, and the day will not be better.

So, fortunately, there is Ouyang in this world.
