It seems that the Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, will reach the age where he can go to the Imperial Study after the New Year.
Duofu was lazily yawning on the cushion, looking like he would never wake up.
Looking outside, it was still a world of ice and snow, with no sign of spring at all, and yet I was suddenly notified that I had to go back to school.
Upon hearing this news, the Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, was somewhat excited and happy to be able to study in the Imperial Study.
Duofu was quite shocked.
this……
The snow outside hadn't melted yet, but I went to school. In the past, when there was heavy snow and the roads were blocked, people's companies would have to close for the holidays.
Now, in this tiny ancient palace, a six-year-old toddler braves the freezing cold to pursue his studies.
No wonder he was an emperor who, as an adult, would be exhausted from writing memorials to the emperor.
I've known the way of the King of Scrolls since I was a child.
It's no wonder that the Kangxi era saw the momentous event of the Nine Princes vying for the throne.
Perhaps education should start from childhood to ensure that one's genes are fully developed.
Before Duofu could even let his thoughts wander further, a eunuch walked in through the door and relayed Consort Tong's message: Emperor Kangxi had arrived and summoned the Fourth Prince to lunch.
The meaning of "多福" is...
Quickly send the Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, to show his face to Emperor Kangxi and curry favor, so that Emperor Kangxi will not forget that there is a Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, in Chengqian Palace, and will not always only think about his precious Crown Prince.
Even though Duofu only stayed in Chengqian Palace, he had heard of the great name of the Qing Dynasty Crown Prince Yinreng.
All the princes and princesses in the entire palace combined probably didn't even weigh as much as Crown Prince Yinreng in Kangxi's heart.
Looking at them individually, Emperor Kangxi lost too many children in his early years, so the ones who are still alive are very precious. However, nothing is absolute.
As long as he doesn't compare himself to Crown Prince Yinreng, he treats these princes and princesses fairly well.
However, if we're comparing, no one is better than the Crown Prince Yinreng, whom he personally raised.
Upon arriving at Consort Tong's main hall, the Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, paid his respects to Consort Tong and Emperor Kangxi. Then, Emperor Kangxi summoned him to check on his study progress.
Before each prince entered the Imperial Study, he would be taught some basic literacy skills by his own concubine, so that he wouldn't be completely clueless when he entered the Imperial Study.
The Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, this little prince, has done his homework very well in this regard.
He had already memorized the Hundred Family Surnames and Thousand Character Classic perfectly, and he even had a fairly good understanding of the Classic of Filial Piety, which Consort Tong usually liked.
The Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, also planned to wait until his handwriting improved so that he could personally copy a copy of the Classic of Filial Piety for Consort Tong, as a surprise for her birthday this year.
Consort Tong looked at the Fourth Prince Yinzhen, who answered fluently in front of Emperor Kangxi, and couldn't help but smile. A hint of pride also appeared on her face. This was the child she had raised since childhood.
She has grown from a tiny little girl to an age where she can now go to the study room to learn.
Her eyes held a mixture of relief, joy, and reluctance.
Unable to hold back, Consort Tong's eyes reddened, and small tears streamed down her face. Emperor Kangxi, who was standing nearby, was distracted by his cousin.
Seeing her crying with tears streaming down her face, he couldn't help but feel sorry for her. He really liked his cousin, and they had grown up together since childhood. She never asked anything of him, and her love for him was wholehearted; she had given him her whole heart.
Emperor Kangxi could still sense Consort Tong's affection for him.
Emperor Kangxi quickly sat down next to Consort Tong, gently wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, and softly comforted her.
"My dear concubine, what's wrong? Why are you crying so sadly all of a sudden? Has someone upset you?"
"Tell me, and I'll avenge you."
"You mustn't cry anymore; it breaks my heart to see you cry."
Under Emperor Kangxi's gentle comforting words, Consort Tong gradually stopped crying, her cheeks flushing slightly with embarrassment.
She's such a grown woman, yet she still sheds tears in front of the Fourth Prince, Yinzhen. He used to secretly shed tears only in front of his cousin, the Emperor.
The situation was already awkward, and now, looking at the worried Fourth Prince Yinzhen...
Consort Tong blushed even more, her eyes darting away as she buried her face in Emperor Kangxi's arms, unwilling to lift it.
That's so embarrassing.
Once the crying subsided, Consort Tong finally spoke in a muffled voice.
"It just suddenly occurred to me that Zhen'er is going to study in the Imperial Study, and I feel reluctant to part with him."
"When Zhen'er goes to the Imperial Study, my palace will become much quieter. I want a child..."
Emperor Kangxi immediately interrupted Consort Tong, gently patting her back, his dignified voice unusually tinged with sadness.
"Yes, yes, Yinzhen will stay in Chengqian Palace for one more night, and then move to the Prince's Residence tomorrow. If you really want it, just ask the Fourth Prince to come back more often to keep you company."
Upon hearing this, Consort Tong raised her head, her face beaming with joy.
"Really? My cousin the Emperor."
I wonder if Consort Tong is happy that the Fourth Prince Yinzhen can come back to visit more often, or happy that she can have a child.
Seeing his happy cousin, Kangxi put aside his slight regret from just now.
It's just one child. There are so many children in the harem now. Making my cousin happy is the most important thing right now.
It's possible that Consort Tong and Emperor Kangxi's brainwaves were not in the same time and space.
Kangxi meant to see which princes or princesses in the harem could be given to Consort Tong to raise.
Consort Tong's understanding was that the Emperor cousin said she would have a child, her own biological child, so how could she not be happy?
Over the years, everyone else has been able to have children, but she is the only one who has not yet given birth to a child. She would be happy as long as she could have a child, whether it is a boy or a girl.
Consort Tong was truly delighted; her eyes were sparkling with joy. Her eyes, still moist from crying, were now brimming with tears, and she looked absolutely beautiful as she smiled.
The Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, was also very happy. He was delighted to hear that Emperor Kangxi had allowed him to visit his mother more often at Chengqian Palace and to see her joy.
He thought that his mother was happy because he wouldn't come back. The fourth prince, Yinzhen, was very happy about his mother's affection. Although his mother would show concern for him in the past, she had never been as happy as she was now.
The Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, secretly thought to himself.
His mother still likes him very much. She's probably just a little shy usually, but today when he's going to study in the Imperial Study, she immediately feels reluctant to part with him and even cries.
Fourth Prince Yinzhen was also very happy today.
If Duofu, who was lying on the mat next to them, knew that the three people were happy, it would mean this.
You'll definitely feel confused.
You're all so self-centered, always thinking of the good things for yourselves. You're dreaming!
Looking at this family, Duofu couldn't help but think of his mother from the modern era.
His mother used to love him too. Every time he came home from school, she would cook a big table of delicious food for him.
He probably doesn't know that every time he goes back to school...
His mother would invite her best friends out to celebrate.
Otherwise, even someone who's just dreaming will have a share of good fortune.
