[Qing Chuan] The daily life of the seven princes

Seeing his younger brother so excited, the fourth elder brother also laughed, but he was not as blindly confident as Yinyou, and he was still a little worried about the health of the imperial concubine.

Kangxi stood in front of the bed, bent over to look at the imperial concubine, and asked her softly, "How does my cousin feel?"

The imperial concubine was still lying on the bed. After taking the medicine last night, she fell asleep again groggy. At some point, she broke out in sweat and the fever subsided, but she still couldn't exert any strength on her body, and her whole body collapsed. Same, opened his mouth, but couldn't speak.

Although Kangxi was worried, he was not a doctor, and he couldn't do anything, so he had to step aside and ask the imperial physician to check.

The three imperial doctors checked around the imperial concubine for a while, and then whispered to each other for a long while. Kangxi got a little impatient, and several people turned around and said, "My Majesty, the temperature of the empress has dropped, and she is not in danger for the time being, but The body is weak and needs to be carefully nursed back to."

Yinyou didn't wear shoes, and he is still being hugged by his elder brother. The age difference between the two brothers is more than two years. He has grown rapidly in the past two years, and the fourth elder brother can't hold him.

The little guy put his hands around his brother's neck, and his legs between his waist, as if he was afraid of falling: "Take the medicine prescribed by my master. My master is so powerful. He cured my mother's illness. Learn medicine from him!"

He was so excited, it was a pain for Yinzhen, holding him was like holding a small stove, and he was still tightly attached to his body, when he spoke, his head turned to the back, and the center of gravity followed. Move, as if there is a possibility of falling to the ground with his brother at any time.

Yinzhen simply turned around and walked a few steps, came to the window, threw him on the kang, and left him alone.

The imperial concubine's illness did not recover in three days as Mr. Fu said, but after the most dangerous night, she did get better day by day.

But because the weather was too hot and her body was very weak, she was sweating profusely every day and needed to change several clothes.

Later, accompanied by Yinyou, Mr. Fu came to Chengqian Palace again, made a return visit to the imperial concubine, and readjusted the prescription.

Before leaving, he took out a book and handed it to the imperial concubine: "I heard that the imperial concubine likes to study medical books and has a lot of research on medical principles. I will give this book to you."

Over the years, during festivals and festivals, his little apprentice would always have people give him a lot of things, not expensive palace rewards, but ordinary items for food and clothing.

Seventh elder brother is a child, how can he be so thoughtful, and after a little thought, it is not difficult to guess that these are all sent by the imperial concubine.

The imperial concubine took the book and thanked her with a smile: "It is my honor to receive the book from Mr.

Yinyou poked his head over to look at it: "Let me have a look, let me have a look."

He opened the book. This book was not the prints he had seen, but a manuscript.Although the book is not thick, every word is written on it.

Yinyou is too familiar with this handwriting, isn't it written by his master?

That is the medical technique, which is mainly classified according to "meridian, belt, fetus, production, and miscellaneous". It details the etiology and pathogenesis, symptoms, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, treatment principles, syndrome differentiation, prescription and prognosis of each disease, etc. The description is very detailed.

But Yinyou couldn't understand, he was a little strange, why the book only talked about women, don't other people get sick except women?And what kind of menstrual disease and leukorrhea are these diseases? Why has he never heard of them.

Mr. Fu is going to leave after seeing his illness.The imperial concubine was still seriously ill and unable to go out, so she asked her son to send Mr. Fu out of the palace for her.

Yinyou took his master to the outside of Chengqian Palace, blowing rainbow farts all the way: "Master, you are amazing. My mother-in-law has been sick for so long, and even the imperial doctors in the imperial hospital can't cure her. You saved her. I will also study medicine with you in the future."

Mr. Fu didn't even look at him, and strode forward with his hands behind his back: "You practice your sword first."

"There is no delay in practicing sword and studying medicine. I practice sword in the morning and study medicine in the afternoon."

Mr. Fu turned his head: "Then you know which subject I mainly study, and you want to study medicine with me?"

"Ah?" Yinyou didn't think about this question, so do you need to divide into medicine?

He asked Mr. Fu, "Then what subject do you study, Master?"

Mr. Fu smiled slightly: "I can treat your mother, what department do you think I am from?"

Yinyou still didn't understand: "Which subject?"

"Gynecology."

The little guy tilted his head: "Which department is gynecology?"

"It is to treat women's diseases specifically, and the treatments are all related to women's diseases, such as menstruation, vaginal discharge, fetus, childbirth, and miscellaneous things."

"Oh, I saw it just now, it is menstrual disease, leukorrhagia, pregnancy, postpartum and miscellaneous diseases."

Although the little guy didn't know what was written in that book, he had a good memory, and he remembered the general idea after reading the table of contents.

Mr. Fu nodded, and patted his head twice with his old palm, as if he was very satisfied with his bright little head: "That's right, are you still learning?"

"Learn!" The little guy said with a smile, "My mother, and Ukumama, Huangmama, sisters and sisters, so many empresses in the palace, and Aunt Xi outside the palace, aren't they all women?" ?"

The little guy raised his head and looked at Mr. Fu: "If I have the ability of Master, I can heal them when they are sick in the future. There are still so many people in the Qing Dynasty, and we need more doctors who are as powerful as you , to save their lives."

Mr. Fu nodded, as if he was very satisfied with his answer: "Well, since you want to learn, I will teach you as a teacher."

Although in detail, medicine has disciplines and schools such as internal and external women and children, typhoid fever, febrile disease, and epidemic disease, etc., but the basic content of philosophy, observation, hearing, questioning, syndrome differentiation and treatment, and meridian and acupoint prescriptions are all interlinked.

Sometimes Yinyou taught his teacher as he was learning: "For example, if the tip of the finger is bleeding, you can't press the tip of the finger, you have to press the sides of the finger to stop the bleeding."

Mr. Fu was taken aback for a moment. This view was very novel, and he had never heard of it before, so he asked, "Where do we start?"

"Because the blood vessels are on the sides, not in the middle."

"Who said that?"

The little guy raised his head proudly: "My mother said so."

Mr. Fu asked: "What else did the imperial concubine say?"

The little guy thought for a while: "She also said that there are three types of bleeding to be judged. Bright red and spurting are arterial bleeding, dark red that is slowly flowing is venous bleeding, and oozing out is capillary bleeding."

Mr. Fu asked him to talk about it again, the little guy rolled his eyes and smiled naively: "I didn't like to hear this when I was young, so she won't tell me about it."

"..."

After taking a few doses of Mr. Fu's medicine, the imperial concubine's health gradually improved. Although she was still weak, there were no major life-threatening events and she gradually recovered.

She leaned on the bed and flipped through the book, which was the monograph on gynecology that Mr. Fu gave her.

She also took a look at the prescription prescribed by Mr. Fu from the imperial physician. Maybe it was because she was not good enough, so she didn't see any mystery.

But she remembered that when she was unconscious, a small hand was holding her hand tightly.

That hand is so small and so soft, Yinyou's image appeared over and over again in her mind, his wrinkled little face just born, his clever eyes when he was mischievous , when he was well-behaved, he snuggled into his arms and acted like a baby, he cried and cried, only he could coax him well...

How could she die, what would her son do if she died?She couldn't imagine how sad and sad the little guy would be without his mother.In any case, she had to live on, and she wanted to watch her son grow up slowly and become a handsome boy who everyone loved.

Later, Yinyou fell asleep, and someone wanted to take him away. She held her son's hand tightly, unwilling to let go.

Someone whispered in his ear, the voice was very familiar, saying that he brought his son here for a change of clothes.

Her consciousness seemed to be a little clear, but not fully awake.My mind was always concerned about my son, and I was very anxious.She was so anxious that her palms were covered with sweat, her forehead, neck, and back were covered with sweat, and her whole body began to sweat.

Finally, after an unknown period of time, the son was sent back to her side.Although I can't hold him, but knowing that he is sleeping next to me, I can feel at ease.

At this time, Yinyou ran in from the outside, holding a bowl in his hand, and said cautiously, "Er Niang, Er Niang, hurry up! Drink the medicine, drink the medicine!"

The imperial concubine quickly straightened up and took the medicine bowl from him, for fear that he would lie down.It was only after holding it in his hand that he realized that the medicine wasn't actually hot, and this kid was exaggerating a bit.

The little guy knelt on the edge of the bed, raised his hand and gently patted Euniang's head: "You must drink the medicine obediently, and your illness will be cured."

As soon as he came, the whole room was filled with his voice and breath, and the enthusiastic atmosphere was enough to infect everyone.

After the imperial concubine finished drinking the medicine, her son stuffed a candied date into her mouth: "Is it sweet?"

The imperial concubine shook her head: "It's not sweet, you can try it."

"Okay, I'll try it." The little guy smiled and fed himself one, "It's so sweet, you still say it's not sweet."

"Then I just want you to try it too?"

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

The mother and son are talking and laughing while enjoying a good time of small talk.Suddenly, someone walked in outside.

Kangxi heard his son's laughter when he was still outside the courtyard, and asked him with a straight face without saying a word when he came in, "Why are you here again?"

Yinyou got off the bed, greeted his Ama first, and then said: "Then you are here too?"

"Did you skip class again?"

"I know what the master said."

"Yes?" Kangxi snorted coldly, "Several masters have come to complain to me, saying that you are not serious about your studies, and that you are influencing others, and even if you are asked to answer questions, you will not be able to answer."

The little guy put his hands behind his back and rubbed them back and forth, obviously a little guilty: "I..."

"what happened to you?"

"I will definitely be able to answer it next time."

Kangxi glanced at him and didn't bother with him. He sat down and cared about the body of the imperial concubine.After a while, I mentioned another thing to her.

When the imperial concubine was seriously ill, the empress dowager worried that she would not be able to make it through, and asked Kangxi to be the queen immediately.

At that time, Kangxi also had the same worry in his heart. On the one hand, he thought that it would be a happy event after all to make his cousin a queen, and if she was happy, she might be cured of her illness.

At that time, the Ministry of Rites was ordered to establish a queen, but the establishment of a queen itself has very complicated rules and procedures, and it cannot be completed in a day or two.

Officials of the Ministry of Rites received the emperor's imperial decree in the middle of the night, and started to go through the process in a panic, notifying the great scholars to act as the chief and deputy envoys, and to prepare gold books and treasures, and the cabinet scholars or Hanlin scholars to write good books and treasures...

However, as soon as this series of procedures started, the imperial concubine's illness improved.

The Minister of Rites also knew that the reason why the emperor wanted to make the imperial concubine the queen was because she was seriously ill at the time.The point is, now that the illness is cured, should Li Hou continue with this matter?

Shang Shu didn't dare to ask, so he asked Nalan, the minister of rites, to ask. He used to be the emperor's imperial bodyguard and had always been close to the emperor.

Kangxi came here today to discuss this matter with the imperial concubine: "I have already told the Ministry of Rites that I want to be crowned empress. You are not joking, I will definitely appoint you as empress."

The imperial concubine was a little embarrassed, and she was not very happy, mainly because being a queen for him was a high-risk job.But she didn't show it, and continued to listen.

Kangxi continued: "At that time, you were seriously ill, so I asked the Ministry of Rites to hurry up and handle various matters related to the posthumous establishment. It was very hasty. Now that your body is gradually recovering, it is time for you to rest. There is no need to rush the process, you can take your time." Come."

Yinyou strained his ears to listen to their chat, and when he heard Ama say Lihou, the little guy asked, "What does Lihou mean? Do you want my mother-in-law to be the queen?"

Kangxi smiled and nodded: "Your mother has become a queen, and you are the first son. Your brothers and sisters will call her mother."

"That won't work," the little guy threw his arms around my mother's neck, "She is my mother's mother, how can she share it with others, it's not like they don't have their own mother's mother."

"It doesn't matter if you say it or not," Kangxi pulled him over, "In such a hot day, don't always cling to your mother, she is still sick."

Yinyou was in a hurry: "Ama, it's really not possible!"

Kangxi was taken aback: "Why not?"

The imperial concubine had a bad instinct, she was afraid that her son would say something that would make his Ama furious, so she hurriedly tried to stop her, but it was still a step too late.

Yinyou bit his lower lip and said: "Every time we go out and come back, we will go to Jingling to pay homage. There is the prince's elder brother's mother and your other queen. As you said, it will take many, many years to pay homage. Let Er Niang lie down with you."

The little guy turned his head and looked at the imperial concubine full of nostalgia: "My mother's illness has just recovered, I don't want her to lie there so soon."

"!!!"

His logic is always so impeccable, so angry that people can't speak, and they can't refute.

Kangxi stared at him for a long time, and he didn't know if he was brewing anger, or he was reflecting on his own special constitution and the reason why he persisted in not standing up for so many years.

All in all, the room fell silent.

The imperial concubine looked at Kangxi's face, but couldn't see anything.The emperor hides his thoughts deeply, and what he is best at is not showing his emotions or anger.

But after all, they have been together for so many years, and the imperial concubine still has a certain understanding of him.Yinyou's words touched a certain unpleasant thought in his heart - he restrained his father and mother and also restrained his wife.

The imperial concubine was worried that he would lose his temper with his son because of this, so she reached out and took his hand.

Yinyou probably also saw that Ama was a little unhappy, and there was a little disappointment mixed with the unhappiness.

So, he walked over and took Kangxi's hand: "Ama, are you angry?"

Kangxi didn't speak, took his son's hand and brought him to him: "No, Ama was just thinking, what you said makes sense."

Therefore, the matter of becoming a queen was temporarily put aside by Kangxi on the grounds that the imperial concubine was not in good health.

But he clearly informed the Ministry of Rites that it was only a postponement, not a cancellation.As for when the canonization ceremony will be held, it depends on the health of the imperial concubine.

Yinyou proudly said to the imperial concubine: "Now I am not only practicing swords with my master, but also learning medical skills from him."

"Oh, so powerful." The imperial concubine snorted dissatisfied, pretending to be angry, "When I taught you before, why didn't you learn?"

"Because..." The little guy rolled his eyes, trying to find an excuse in his mind, "Because I didn't like it before."

"So you like it now?"

The little guy nodded: "Yes! When I finish my studies, I will be a gynecologist in the future!"

"Huh?" The imperial concubine didn't understand, she was clearly a pediatrician, why did her son want to become a gynecologist?The key is that there is no little boy who is motivated to study gynecology.

"Wait a minute, why is it a gynecologist?"

"Because the master said that he studies gynecology. When I finish my studies, I won't have to worry about my mother getting sick anymore!"

It turned out that the son was so enthusiastic about studying gynecology because of her, so there was no need for it.

She smiled without embarrassment: "Why don't you think about it again."

Yinyou was curious: "What are you thinking about?"

The imperial concubine supported her forehead: "Consider learning something else."

The little guy really thought about it seriously: "Isn't it good to study gynecology?"

"It's not bad, everyone has their own aspirations. If you are really interested and want to learn, I think it's okay." The imperial concubine looked at him, "But I hope you study out of interest rather than because of other things. , it may be difficult for you to hold on."

The little guy waved his hand, and said confidently: "No way, you see I don't like reading so much, and I have read it until now. I have long been familiar with the "Doctrine of the Mean", "Book of Rites", and "Mencius" taught by the master. Recite, I understand what they said, my master has already told me."

"Okay, my mother knows, you are the best."

The little guy leaned over, put his arms around the imperial concubine's neck, and rubbed her face twice with his small face: "So you get better soon, when you get better, you can teach me, this time I will definitely Study well."

The imperial concubine is about to be smitten by this little brat who is used to acting like a spoiled child: "I've grown up so much, why do I still like to hug my mother-in-law and act like a spoiled child? What should I do when I marry a daughter-in-law?"

Yinyou said: "Then hug your daughter-in-law and act like a baby."

"!!!"

During these days when the Imperial Concubine was ill, not only Concubine Tong came to accompany her every day, but also Concubine Niu Colu and Concubine Yi also came several times.Send her some supplements, reassure her that the child will always have it, don't be sad.

The imperial concubine nodded cooperatively, and said in her heart: "How did you know that I am sad?"

Concubine Hui also came here, and asked tactfully about Empress Li, but the imperial concubine didn't answer, she just said: "This kind of matter is up to the emperor, how can we know?"

Concubine Hui stopped asking.

Even Yin Changzai, who made clothes for Yinyou every year in Concubine Tong's Palace, came here once, and stood in the courtyard, not even daring to go up the platform, and knelt down to say hello.

The imperial concubine asked her to come in and talk, so she entered the room timidly.

She came from a low background, and her family couldn't produce any good things, except for her own embroidery work.

The weather was hot, so she embroidered two round fans and a few handkerchiefs for the imperial concubine.

The imperial concubine herself doesn't know how to do these things. Seeing that the magpies embroidered by her are lifelike and the peonies are also layered, they look like works of art.

Yinyou went to the study to continue studying, and still did not forget to preach and learn from his brothers.Especially his sixth brother, Yinyou discovered that he was particularly interested in shipbuilding and sailing.

Therefore, Yinyou told him all the knowledge he had learned from Nan Huairen.

But Yinyou knew very little, so he read books everywhere, learned from Western missionaries, and then came back to teach his sixth brother.

One day, he suddenly realized a problem, why did he want to be a middleman to earn the difference? He just asked the Western missionaries to explain this knowledge to Brother Liu.

Zhang Cheng, a French missionary who had the best relationship with him, followed Soetu to Nerchinsk to negotiate with Tsarist Russia.

So now he always looks for Bai Jin, because Bai Jin is working in the construction office, and it is convenient to find him in the Hall of Mental Cultivation next to Qianqing Palace.

Yinyou brought the sixth elder brother over to ask Bai Jin for advice. After coming and going, the two became acquainted.

Bai Jin, like all the missionaries who came to the Qing Dynasty, has dabbled in various subjects, but is not proficient.However, it is more than enough to cope with two small children.

Yinyou was very busy all day long, so he couldn't always come with the sixth elder brother. After a long time, the sixth elder brother could come to Bai Jin by himself for advice.

The little guy is very satisfied. He thinks that since the sixth brother is interested in these things, let him study hard. Maybe in the future, he will be able to visit their country and learn from them like these missionaries came to the Qing Dynasty. science.

After class at noon that day, several little princes got together.After all, everyone ate so many snacks made by the imperial concubine, and after learning that the imperial concubine was ill, they often cared about her condition, and would comfort Yinyou, saying that the imperial concubine was such a nice person that nothing would happen.

Brother Seven nodded: "My mother-in-law is much better, she can get out of bed and walk around now."

Eighth Brother asked, "Then Seventh Brother, have you read any interesting books recently that you want to share with us?"

Yinyou said: "I've been very busy recently, I've been studying medicine, and I don't have time to read novels."

The fifth elder brother looked surprised: "Are you studying medicine?"

"That's right, I'm reading medical books now, and I'm studying gynecology."

Brother Ten asked, "What is gynecology?"

"It specializes in treating women's diseases, so it's called gynecology."

Several princes roared with laughter: "Wow, it turns out that Seventh Brother will treat women specially in the future, hahahaha."

Yinyou didn't understand, what's so funny about it, everyone's mother-in-law and sisters are not all women, and women also need to see a doctor, so why can't women see a doctor?

Isn't it all about hanging pots to help the world, curing diseases and eliminating disasters for others, what's so ridiculous?

"What are you laughing at?" Yinyou glared at the brothers, "You can't learn it even if you want to. Fifth Brother, have you memorized the "Book of Rites-Wangzhi Chapter"? Ninth Brother, you have finished your arithmetic problems." Is it? And you, Xiao Shi, did you remember the words you copied yesterday, just a few words, how long will it take you to learn them?"

"..."

Seventh elder brother, a scumbag who went to class, talked and slept, took the initiative to take the job of a disciplinary committee member, urging others to study every day, without any persuasiveness.

Brother Si couldn't help laughing at him: "Xiao Qi, do you know that there is a saying called 'Law others first, discipline yourself'?"

The little guy raised his chin: "What about you, have you planted your wheat and rice this year?"

This year, because of Kangxi's southern tour, none of them went to Changchun Garden.When Yinyou asked this question, he was obviously sure that his brother did not take care of this matter this year.

However, the fourth elder brother nodded: "Don't worry, everything has been planted. There will be a harvest next month. I think it should be more than last year."

"..."

The little guy had nothing to say, he even wanted to go to the Changchun Garden to see the plants he planted.He planted some new southern vegetables and fruits last year, but I don't know how they are growing this year.

However, it is now the middle of June, the hottest dog days.

Kangxi saw that the imperial concubine was recovering day by day, the Changchun Garden was cooler than the Forbidden City, the scenery was nicer, and the well water could support people, it should be better to recuperate there than in the palace.

So, I picked a time when the weather was not so hot, and accompanied the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, and several concubines in the harem to live in Changchun Garden for a short stay.

This year's weather is extremely hot, and there is little rain, so it may not be much cooler in Changchun Garden.

The imperial concubine had just recovered from a serious illness, and her health was not very good, and she still walked back and forth.On the way to Changchun Garden, the Empress Dowager said that instead of going back and forth to greet her every day, just rest in Jifengxuan.

The little guy Yinyou immediately leaned forward: "Mama Ukuma, then I will replace my mother-in-law to greet you every day, okay?"

"It's not good, it's not good," said the Empress Dowager, clutching her petite hand, "It's so hot, I don't want you to walk back and forth under the scorching sun."

When he arrived at Changchun Garden, Yinyou really saw a piece of yellow wheat ears and rice, and the growth was indeed better than last year.

The little guy asked his brother: "I looked at the crops in the fields below the mountain, and they didn't grow well. Why do we grow so well here?"

"Because we have water here." The fourth elder brother only showed him that a canal was dug next to him at some time, which could bring the water from the former lake to the fields for irrigation.

Yinyou asked: "Then can we lead the water to the fields below the mountain?"

The fourth elder brother frowned: "I'm also thinking about this problem."

Yinyou went to inspect his glass house again. The orange tree has grown very tall, and if it grows longer, it will cover the roof of the house. Fortunately, the gardener told him that the orange tree can only grow so high in the north, and it will not be taller. up.

Then he looked at those pots of orchids, they were at the best blooming time, so he sent people to Ningchuntang and Tanningju respectively.

The little guy turned his head and saw a row of vegetables by the wall. He had never eaten them, so he couldn't name them, but looking at the green ones, he had an appetite.

"what is this?"

"Brother Qi, this is water spinach, we planted it last year, and it happens to be the season to eat water spinach now."

That's great, Yinyou ordered someone to pick off the edible part and send it to Ningchun Hall for the Empress Dowager to taste.

Coincidentally, both Kangxi and the imperial concubine came over in the evening.

Seeing that the imperial concubine's complexion improved a lot, and her spirit gradually recovered, she went out for a walk when the sun was setting, and came with Kangxi.

The crown prince also came to greet the empress dowager today, and met the emperor father and imperial concubine at the gate of Ningchun hall, and they happened to come in together.

As soon as Kangxi entered the room, he saw the palace people passing the news, and asked with a frown, "Why hasn't the ancestor had dinner at this time?"

He was about to question the eunuchs and maids, but was stopped by the Empress Dowager: "It's Xiaoqi, who picked some vegetable leaves that we haven't seen before, and said he wanted to add a vegetable."

After a while, the dishes were served on the table, Yinyou hurried over to take a look, and said in surprise: "I brought so much, why is there only so little?"

Probably the only one in this place who has seen and eaten your water spinach is the imperial concubine, she also stepped forward to take a look: "This is the big head that has been thrown away, only the sharp point is left."

The imperial chefs handled the dishes for the Empress Dowager very meticulously, cutting off the beginnings and tails, leaving only the most tender part to fry in a small dish.

The little guy frowned: "Can't you eat those?"

"You can eat it, but it doesn't taste that good."

So the little guy said again: "Then you can fry the rest in another plate, let everyone have a taste, don't waste it."

Kangxi laughed loudly after hearing this: "You know how to be frugal now."

Not only Kangxi, but the crown prince also found it novel when he looked at the plate of green vegetables on the table. The rhizome was cylindrical and hollow in the middle, and the leaves grew on both sides, which looked pretty good.

So, after the Empress Dowager tasted it, she asked them to taste some too.

Kangxi asked: "How does the prince feel?"

The prince smiled and said: "I have never eaten this dish before, it is tender and crispy, very fresh, and the taste is good."

"This is grown in the glass house that Xiaoqi is clamoring to build. It is said that it is a vegetable that grows in the southwest region, called water spinach."

The glass house is near Wuyizhai, it is very conspicuous, no one has never seen it.

Yinyou said: "We can build more glass houses, so that the people in the whole capital can also build them, and grow vegetables and fruits that can only be eaten in the south. They can eat them by themselves or sell them."

The prince smiled and nodded: "Well, it's a good idea."

"And more!" The little guy hurriedly showed off to Ukumama, Ama, and the prince's brother, "Cheng Luxuan's windows have been replaced with glass, and the reading room is bright during the day. In winter, you can It’s nice to have the sun without the cold. Let’s replace all the windows in the house with glass.”

Now the Manufacturing Office has mastered the technology of building this kind of flat glass, and the glass factory can also produce it on a large scale.Kangxi thought for a while, then asked the prince again: "What do you think?"

The prince thought for a while and said: "The minister will go to Chengluxuan to have a look in a while. If what Xiao Qi said is really so good, we will ask the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to measure the size of the windows of the various houses first, and then find a glass factory to make them." , Just put it on."

The little guy was very happy when he heard it: "We have used it, and soon people in the whole capital will use it, and finally the people in the entire Qing Dynasty will be able to use it."

The imperial concubine asked him: "Isn't that going to build a lot of glass factories?"

The little guy said: "Then build it, and build it in places that are not suitable for growing crops, so that the people there can go to work in glass factories."

He thinks a lot, not only to solve the basic necessities of life, but also to solve the problems of people's livelihood and employment.

Kangxi didn't know what this little guy was thinking about all day long, but he was so simple and kind. When he got something good, he would be the first to think of the Empress Dowager, and he couldn't wait to share it with everyone. people.

The little guy said: "There is also cement. Now we have mastered the method of firing cement. It is said that it is much easier than firing porcelain. After the river embankment is repaired, it can last for a long time, so we can use cement to build bridges and pave roads. benefit the people."

The prince looked at his younger brother and thought he was really smart and cute.This time, without waiting for the emperor's father to ask his opinion, he boasted first: "Xiao Qi is getting more and more thoughtful."

The empress dowager is in good health, the imperial concubine has almost recovered, and the prince is already proficient in handling government affairs, prudent and thoughtful, and Kangxi is quite satisfied.

The emperor was in a good mood, and he was eager to take his sons out of Gubeikou for a tour outside the Great Wall. By the way, he learned about the situation of the Khalkha tribes and the war with Junggar.

Therefore, this time, the route is slightly different from previous years.

This time, he brought a lot of people, all the little princes who were eight years old or older, the eldest brother, the third elder brother, the fourth elder brother, the fifth elder brother, the sixth elder brother, the seventh elder brother, the eighth elder brother and Prince Yu and Prince Gong went together.

The only thing is to keep the prince in the capital and continue to work with the cabinet to help him handle state affairs.

The prince is now an adult, and the wedding is already on the agenda, just waiting for the Ministry of Rites to finalize the system and procedures.

When he was young, Kangxi loved him the most, and he had to take it with him everywhere.Now that he has grown up, Kangxi does not take him anywhere, but entrusts him with the heavy responsibility of supervising the country.

Out of Gubeikou is the Mongolian Great Wall, and when you go to Mulan Paddock, the emperor's annual tour outside the Great Wall is naturally a must-have item.

You little princes have grown to this age, and it is time to show your talents in the paddock.

Everyone has learned riding and archery for so many years, and has followed Ama to Nanyuan and Mulan Qiuxi many times, hoping to have such an opportunity to perform in front of the emperor.

The first night, when everyone gathered in the garden of the palace to enjoy the cool air, the fifth elder brother said: "Tomorrow I will shoot a sika deer, and send the antler and deer skin back to Huang Mama."

Brother Six said: "Then I'm going to shoot a rabbit, it's delicious to roast."

Yinyou immediately nodded in agreement: "Yes, Brother Six left me a rabbit's leg."

The eighth elder brother smiled, but did not speak.

Baotai frowned: "Then I'll shoot a roe deer, it is said that it is the stupidest and easy to shoot."

At this time, the eldest brother, the third elder brother and the fourth elder brother came from elsewhere.

When the elder brothers heard their conversation, they had completely different expressions on their faces.

The elder brother had a disdainful expression of "listen to you bastards bragging", the fourth elder brother was not very interested in Xingwei, and he seemed to complete the task every year.Brother San always had a consistent smile on his face, and no one knew what he was thinking.

He suddenly stood behind Yinyou and asked: "Xiao Qi usually shoots every arrow in the riding and archery class, so I don't know how many prey he will harvest tomorrow."

Brother Six pinched the back of Yinyou's collar: "It always hits my archery target."

But the little guy stood up and said nonsense: "Just wait and see, I will definitely be the one who shoots the most prey tomorrow!"

So, on the second day, everyone carried their bows and arrows, rode their horses, and galloped across the prairie.

The enclosure of the paddock is getting smaller and smaller, and the sound of antlers can be heard everywhere in the jungle and grassland. The stags ran out of their hiding places one after another in order to court a mate and other animals to hunt for prey.

Kangxi took the lead, and the first prey was naturally reserved for the emperor.After he successfully shot a black bear, a snow-white fox ran out of nowhere in the distance.

Snow foxes are rare to see, especially at this time of year.Kangxi then shouted: "If anyone shoots this fox today and brings it back, I will reward you a lot!"

Not only the prince, but all the royal family members and princes of Mongolia are all high-spirited, rolling up their sleeves and preparing to fight hard.Driving his own horses to scatter, each looking for the target.

Yinyou carried a quiver on his back, held a bow in his hand, and rode a white horse, walking slowly on the grassland alone.

The Mulan paddock is too big, and every time they come, the area surrounded by them is different.

Today this area is dominated by jungles, with few grasslands and no lakes.

Yinyou saw that Baotai really chased a silly roe deer into the jungle, and he followed in with the mentality of watching the fun.

At this time, other brothers came chasing their prey one after another.

The silly roe deer suddenly jumped up not far in front of Yinyou, Baotai was on the other side, and kept gesturing to his seventh brother: "Shoot it, shoot it!"

Yinyou looked at Baotai, then at the others, everyone was waiting to see how he would take down the roe deer.

The silly roe deer didn't know that he was in danger, looked at Yinyou curiously, and turned his head towards him, so cute.

Yinyou slowly draws from the quiver
