Chapter 754 I really love this child!
The Queen Mother simply picked up the recipe for warming the wine and, while glancing at it, said, "This girl has suffered some injustice in my palace today, so naturally I should reward her with something. How can I let her feel disappointed?"
Speaking of this, the Queen Mother's face suddenly turned cold: "I just want them to know that I cherish this child. They all act like little kittens in front of me, and I just had a nap, and they are already showing their claws? I will see who dares to show their claws!"
"Oh, so my eldest sister knows everything."
Shuhui thought about it and realized that if they hadn't had this ability back then, they wouldn't have been able to survive to this day.
But then she couldn't help but frown slightly: "Even if it's so, there's no need for elder sister to give such an expensive gift. This Jade Moon Hairpin was made for us by the Grand Empress Dowager."
The Queen Mother laughed again: "Do you still remember what the Grand Empress Dowager said when she gave this hairpin and bracelet to you and me? Now when I see them, I feel as if I see you and me in our past. Why, are you giving this bracelet away? Are you feeling bad?"
Shuhui also laughed immediately: "Eldest sister always teases me. You won that bracelet in a gamble a long time ago, so it's all yours. Why should I be unhappy? Besides, the green color is not suitable for our age now, so giving it to them like a flower bud is not a disgrace to the thing."
"You're right," the Queen Mother smiled. "People's hearts are fickle, especially the sincerity of the royal family, which is even rarer. These two are good children. I only hope that they can continue to walk together in peace in the future."
It's a given that the Qing dynasty will eventually fall into the hands of the Crown Prince, and the Crown Princess is a natural fit for a powerful figure. However, her temperament is far more volatile than she appears, requiring the assistance of someone extremely calm and composed. Jiu'er may appear casual, but she's actually incredibly intelligent and possesses a rare calmness. Her only disadvantage is her social status. Of all the wives of this generation of imperial princes, these two stand out.
If the two of them can continue to have no quarrels, then maybe, in the future, they can really change the unhealthy atmosphere in the harem."
After hearing this, Concubine Shuhui couldn't help but be stunned for a moment: "Eldest sister, you still think long-term."
The Queen Mother waved her hand: "When people get old and confused, sometimes they can't help but think too much."
"My eldest sister isn't old yet. How old is she? People would think she's younger than me."
"You're always good at coaxing people." The Queen Mother smiled, but then couldn't help sighing, "It's just that I wanted to see the quadruplets today. But I didn't see them."
Shuhui also laughed: "That's true. The quadruplet sister has been thinking about it for a long time, but now it's too late to bother the children anymore."
The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Next time, I'll ask a few of the children to come and pay their respects to you. I didn't see it either, but I'm still recovering from my illness, so I hope the children won't be affected by my illness."
"That's right, elder sister." Empress Dowager Shuhui nodded. Suddenly, she saw the things on the table and couldn't help laughing. "This little girl Wen is quite interesting. I don't know what gift she gave me, but it was wrapped in oil paper. She even generously told you to eat more."
After saying that, he couldn't help but shook his head and laughed.
If we say that there are the most precious medicinal materials, and the Queen Mother claims to be second, no one would dare to claim to be first, right?
Even if it was the emperor, any precious medicinal herbs would be sent to the Cining Palace. How could he refuse the herbs from this little girl?
"That girl often sends me gifts, and they are all tokens of her thoughtfulness." The Queen Mother said as she smiled and opened the strange-shaped oil-paper package in front of her.
Suddenly, the whole person froze.
"How come this... this... is bigger than the ginseng sent by Concubine De and the Emperor?"
The Queen Mother was in a trance and thought she was dazzled, so she rubbed her eyes.
"This...is this the snow lotus from the Western Regions? It's so big?" Shuhui looked over and was also completely stunned.
In front of me was a wrinkled oil paper package, containing two rare treasures, wrapped together.
This Wenjiu...who is this person!
"This is ginseng snow lotus. Did this kid mistake it for a radish or scallion?"
After reading it, the Queen Mother exclaimed subconsciously.
For a moment, Concubine Shuhui and the Imperial Concubine looked at each other in silence for a long time.
…
The moon was low and the sun was scorching hot.
Wenjiu finally embarked on his journey to the north to tour the border.
This trip was delayed for some time because the Empress Dowager's health had been recurring.
After all, it was a northern tour, going to the Empress Dowager's hometown. Emperor Kangxi wanted to relieve the Empress Dowager's homesickness, so he waited until June. Now, with the weather warm and the Empress Dowager in good health, he finally led everyone out of the border.
"Master, the wind and sand are so strong that you must be thirsty. I just cut some watermelon after the battle. Would you like to have some to quench your thirst?"
Wenjiu was leaning in the carriage with his legs crossed, his head resting on his arms, humming an unknown tune.
After hearing Liusu's words, he opened his mouth.
Liusu immediately fed her a piece of rice.
"It's so sweet. It would be even better if it were iced."
Liusu simply said, "Master, it's hard to get ice at this time of year, and we're on the road, so I'm afraid we won't be able to find any. When we get to the next city, maybe we can buy some ice. But master, you shouldn't be too greedy for cold weather; it's bad for your health."
"I haven't even eaten the ice yet, and you're already giving me instructions! We still have a long way to go." Wenjiu continued to open her mouth, allowing Liusu to feed her.
Liusu just smiled and continued, "I heard Lord Buyan say earlier that it would take two more days to reach the next county. We'll have to set up camp and rest for the next two days. Once we pass the next county, we'll be able to rest and recuperate."
Wen Jiu nodded: "Did the Queen Mother send watermelons?"
"Yes, I sent two as you said. I think it will be enough for the Empress Dowager and the young princes."
"Well, not bad. The rest of the bowl is yours."
Speaking of which, these days are really the most leisurely days for Wenjiu.
The child no longer needs to be looked after. Now, as soon as the child wakes up every day, the empress dowager will have someone send the child over, and he will start playing with the child all day long.
To be honest, Wenjiu initially thought that taking children out would be a difficult task.
Who would have thought that after just saying one sentence to the Fourth Master, he would actually bring the child out and go out of the border together.
Later, she asked the Fourth Master what the Emperor thought of this matter. The Fourth Master simply said, "I just mentioned it to the Emperor, and he agreed."
Later, after being out for a long time, Wenjiu finally understood.
Emperor Kangxi brought me along simply because he wanted to have his own private chef with him.
As for agreeing to let her bring her sons, it was probably because he wanted to keep an eye on the children's schoolwork.
However, this time Emperor Kangxi met his nemesis, the Empress Dowager.
One always wants to teach the children something, while the other always feels sorry for the children, so she explicitly forbids them from messing with children under the age of two.
Now, Emperor Kangxi has also been scolded by the Empress Dowager several times.
