Comprehensive Qing wear good luck

Chapter 168 Kangxi Pure Concubine 35

After returning to Qixiang Palace, Wangshu was inspired and painted a picture of a kindergarten student entering school. It was an oil painting with rich colors. After finishing it, Wangshu still felt it was not enough, so he took the new painting to the Qianqing Palace.

"Why are you here, my beloved?"

"Your Majesty, today is the first day that Yinfu enters the study. I am so anxious that I made a painting. Your Majesty, please take a look. I also want Your Majesty to accompany me."

Kangxi took the painting and looked at it. The oil painting was realistic. Wangshu painted Yinfu's look back when he went in. She put a lot of emotion into it, and the feeling of reluctance was overwhelming.

It is the reluctance of the writer and the reluctance of the people in the painting.

Even those who don't have much artistic talent can feel it, not to mention that Kangxi's artistic attainments are not low.

As he watched, he thought of Yinfu. Although he did not have as much affection for this child as the crown prince, because he often went to Qixiang Palace and Wangshu often brought Yinfu in front of him, Kangxi's feelings for Yinfu were no less than those for the eldest prince.

This is already difficult.

Because the eldest prince was the first son he raised, Kangxi had an extraordinary affection for him.

As he watched, Kangxi began to feel reluctant to leave.

Then I thought, my son was just going to the study to study, he was not leaving the palace, I could see him whenever I wanted, there was no point in being reluctant to let him go!

Kangxi chuckled: "I have been led astray by you again. This painting is good and full of emotion. I will keep it."

Wangshu said reluctantly: "The Emperor wants my paintings again."

"My beloved concubine's paintings are outstanding. I will keep them for my appreciation."

"That's my honor. The emperor asked for my paintings, so he can't just give me nothing, right?"

Kangxi laughed loudly: "Little money-grubber, Liang Jiugong, go to my private storehouse and take three jade bonsais that were newly sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to Concubine Chun."

Wangshu smiled and thanked him: "Thank you for the reward, Your Majesty. I have been studying how to make a jade bonsai recently! With the reward from Your Majesty, I will definitely give one to Your Majesty first after I make it."

"Only one pot?"

"Your Majesty, I don't have that much jade to make too many bonsai."

"That's easy. I'll give it to you."

When Wangshu returned to Qixiang Palace, the three jade bonsais had already been delivered, along with many other jades of various colors, magnificent and valuable.

In Chengqian Palace, Imperial Noble Consort Tong listened to the Nanny talking about what reward Consort Chun of Qixiang Palace had received. As the Nanny spoke, her voice became softer.

"… Madam, if you don't like to listen, you don't have to force yourself to listen."

"It's not that I don't like to hear it, Mammy. I'm used to it. Ever since I forced myself to give birth to a princess last year and the princess died, the emperor has become more and more impatient with me.

You say, how could Concubine Chun live such an enviable life! This year, the Emperor kept a total of ten jade bonsais sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to the Palace of Heavenly Purity, and gave three of them to Concubine Chun at once.

Even though I haven't seen it with my own eyes, I know that those three pots must be the most exquisite. Concubine Chun likes luxury and flowers, so the Emperor always thinks of her first when he has something luxurious.

When will the emperor remember that I am the Imperial Noble Consort, and that the Imperial Noble Consort cannot be as wealthy as the Imperial Consort? Now the emperor has even given me no dignity. Mammy, do you think I made a mistake by giving birth to that child?"

The nanny also felt that she shouldn't have given birth to the baby, but she still had to comfort the girl.

"What are you talking about, Your Majesty? Your Majesty is so precious, why do you have to compare yourself with Concubine Chun? Concubine Chun can only ask the Emperor for what she wants, but Your Majesty is different. Whatever Your Majesty wants, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will deliver it to you immediately.

You are the Imperial Noble Consort, acting as the Empress. In theory, you are the Emperor's wife. Why compare yourself with Concubine Chun, a concubine?"

"Really? But I am not the queen after all."

"My lady..."

"Madam, you don't need to say more. I understand. You can send some things to the prince's residence for Yinzhen. I neglected him a lot when I was pregnant. Yinzhen is a good child. I am sorry for him."

"Your Majesty, don't blame yourself. The Fourth Prince doesn't blame you."

"That's because he is sensible. I can't just pretend that nothing happened because he is sensible. Mammy, I don't have enough energy. Please take care of Yinzhen for me. This way, I will feel better."

Ever since she gave birth to a princess and she died young, Imperial Noble Concubine Tong has been in poor health and has been sickly. She still holds power in the palace and often falls asleep in her study.

The imperial physician said that she needed to rest, but how could she do that? She was the Imperial Noble Consort, and she knew that she could not gain the favor of her cousin the Emperor, and she was absolutely unwilling to lose the honor of being the Imperial Noble Consort.

Besides, the Tong family would not allow her to lose.

"Don't worry, Madam. I will take good care of the Fourth Prince. You should also take care of yourself."

The nanny's tone was filled with worry. Imperial Concubine Tong was in a very bad condition.

On the first day that Yinfu went to the study, as soon as he came in, he was greeted by the gazes of his brothers.

The eldest prince, the crown prince, and the third prince are older. Although they are also studying, they are not in the same place.

The age difference between the four princes, from the Fourth Prince to the Eighth Prince, is relatively small. Although their progress is different, they all study together.

Yinfu arrived last.

"Fourth brother, fifth brother, sixth brother, eighth brother, you are all here."

Yinfu greeted calmly.

Yinzhen, as the leader of the group, said: "Seventh brother is here, please sit down! The teacher will be here soon."

Yinfu found an empty seat and sat down. Zhou Zheng put his writing utensils in place. As soon as he sat down, he heard the voice of the Fifth Prince: "Seventh brother, I just heard that Empress Chun sent you here. Is it true?"

Yinfu nodded: "Yes, what's wrong?"

The Fifth Prince Yinqi shook his head: "Nothing, I'm just a little curious, is Seventh Brother afraid of going to school?"

Yinfu shook his head: "Why do you ask me that, brother? I'm not scared!"

"I thought you didn't want to come to school like me, so that's why Lady Chun sent you."

Yinfu smiled and thought of Wangshu: "Mother just can't bear to part with me, Fifth Brother, you think too much."

"Okay!" He said with regret.

When the Fifth Prince was born, the environment in the harem had improved a lot, but Concubine Yi, who was still Yipin at the time, did not know about it. She was afraid that she could not raise the Fifth Prince. When she realized that the Queen Mother wanted to raise a child, she gave the Fifth Prince to the Queen Mother to raise.

The languages ​​spoken in the Empress Dowager's Shoukang Palace were Mongolian or Manchu. When the Fifth Prince started school, Kangxi realized that his son could not speak Chinese fluently.

The study room was a place full of study, so he developed a slight aversion to studying.

Yinfu was sent to school by Wangshu. It is said that he was very reluctant to part with Wangshu. He thought he had met a fellow man! But it turned out that his happiness was in vain!

Because Yinqi spoke first, Yinfu was the first to become familiar with Yinqi. Although the people in this room were all brothers of similar age and blood relationship, in fact, before going to school, their understanding of each other was limited to knowing each other and knowing each other's names.

After a while, the teacher came in.

Yinfu officially started his school schedule.

At noon, Yinfu returned to the prince's residence and said: "The queen asked the small kitchen in Qixiang Palace to send lunch, which is the master's favorite. The queen said that the small kitchen prepared Buddha Jumps Over the Wall for dinner."

Yinfu smiled and said, "I see. The yard is well tidied."

"These are what slaves should do."

Yinfu had a very comfortable lunch and even took a short nap before going to the study.

The afternoon passed quickly. After coming out of the upper study, Yinfu went to Qixiang Palace. Yinqi saw him and asked, "Aren't you going back to the prince's residence?"

"I'm going to Qixiang Palace for dinner, so I won't be going there today."

Yinqi didn't think much about it, as he was often taken back to the Cining Palace by the Empress Dowager's people to stay for a short time.

"Okay then, just remember not to be late tomorrow."

"Well, thank you for the reminder, Brother Five."
