Chapter 8 second quarter

Concubine Yi was confused by her six-year-old son, a little perplexed, a little unhappy, but also a little happy and proud - for the eldest brother to look alive, like a distinguished eldest son of the emperor. But when she saw the faces of the eunuch and the maid, she woke up from her confusion, and immediately said with a sullen face, "What are you doing here?" When the elder brother saw her mother like this, he felt a little flustered, but when his eyes fell on Xiao Anzi, he suddenly became courageous, and Lang Lang replied: "I want to ask Chen Shengwen to ask, and I'll talk to Er Niang, okay?" Quaranda' interjecting? Who made the rule?"

To be able to talk so eloquently, Concubine Yi knew in her heart that she can no longer use the method of dealing with a child, coaxing and deceiving, and the matter will be settled, but she must not follow him.The master was talking, and the eunuch "Quaranda" interrupted. During the Qianlong period, he would be bound to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and beaten to death.According to the current crime, at least it will be punished and expelled from the palace.Even though Xiao Anzi didn't feel sorry for him, his face should not be torn apart! So she thought about it for a while, and said with a sullen face: "I'm here, don't worry about it!

Xiao Anzi is wrong, I will punish him. " "Then ask Erniang to punish Xiao Anzi!" Being so aggressive, Concubine Yi was very annoyed, she couldn't bear Su Liu's anger enough, she was also angered by her own son!At this moment, there was a dull pain between her chest and diaphragm, and she couldn't help but raised her hand to cover the pain. When Xiao Anzi saw the situation, he knew that something was wrong!Originally, she was counting on Concubine Yi to protect her, but now Concubine Yi is so angry that she loses her temper. When she is sick, she has the worst temper, and she will turn her face when she says she will turn her back on her. "Long live God" can save his life.

When he thought of this, he didn't dare to be negligent, and with a plop, he knelt down on the water-polished brick floor, bowed his hands left and right, slapped himself on the mouth, and cursed at the same time: "Damn Xiao Anzi! Damn Xiao Anzi!" The elder brother felt more comfortable now, showing off his desire for revenge, he said loudly: "Hit me hard!" "Yes! Hit him hard!" Xiao Anzi replied loudly, as if he wasn't the one who hit him. I swollen my own face, that’s not counting, the elder brother said again: "Hit one hundred!" So from the beginning, another eunuch sang "one ah, two ammonia" and counted. After hitting a hundred, Xiao Anzi had to kowtow to Concubine Yi and elder brother, thank you for your "graciousness".

In the evening, the swollen-faced little Anzi knelt in front of Concubine Yi and cried, saying that Eldest Brother had been provoked by others to humiliate him for no reason, expressing that he was unwilling to be beaten so hard, and kept saying, "Master, for me!" The slave is the master! The master is the master for the slave!" Concubine Yi was also very unhappy in her heart, so she just said: "Why do you have to be serious with elder brother!" It means why you need to be as knowledgeable as a child, this can be regarded as a word of comfort. Xiao Anzi had no choice but to grind on, asserting that someone must instigate him.But who is instigating?Concubine Yi asked him to point out someone, so Xiao Anzi remained silent.But this breath, no matter what, I couldn't swallow it.After an open and unannounced visit, he finally found out that he is a "knowledgeable person". He couldn't get used to his ugly appearance, and he heard that the elder brother hated Xiao Anzi, so he came up with such a "smart trick" to punish him. .And I taught it many times, so the elder brother can sing this play so vividly.

So, Xiao Anzi went to Concubine Yi to inform her again, but he changed his words a lot. He didn't say that he was hated by others, but that others knew that he was favored in front of Concubine Yi, and they deliberately attacked him to hurt Yi. Concubine.In other words, he suffered for Concubine Yi. Naturally, after hearing it for the first time, Concubine Yi was very angry, and asked, "Then, who is instigating Big Brother?" "The servant dare not say it!" "Is there anything you dare not say? Is it still the queen?" "It's not the queen. It's..." He dipped in his saliva and wrote the word "Li" on the brick floor.

Is it Li Fei?Concubine Yi sneered: "She dare not!" "If the master doesn't believe it, the slave will have nothing to do." "Trivial matters, the past is the past!" Concubine Yi said lightly.She had already calmly thought that this matter must never be brought up again, it was a joke, and it was really not a big deal for the elder brother to punish a eunuch.If something like this needs to be taken care of by the master, the master is too ignorant and disregarding his status. Xiao Anzi naturally wouldn't think so, he beat himself up so badly that he lost all face, but said it was "a trivial matter!" He thought Concubine Yi was trying to vent her anger on her, but she was so inconsiderate, On the contrary, the grievance became deeper and deeper.It seems that all loyalty is completely useless.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel chilled, and when I accepted the assignment, I deliberately pretended to be deaf and dumb, lazily and not very energetic.Concubine Yi also knew that he had been wronged, so she tolerated it for the time being.It's just once or twice, it's always like this, but it annoys her. "I think you're a bit of a bitch!" Concubine Yi scolded him with a straight face, "If you want to work here with me, you can tell me as soon as possible, I will help you, and immediately upload to the respect room to take you away!" This time, Xiao Anzi was so frightened that he didn't dare to say another word.But sleeping on the bed at night, after thinking about it, I felt that it was a temporary mistake to serve Concubine Yi with all my heart and soul, and it was still a thousand days' good. I would be willing to bear beatings, scolding and punishment, but I was actually going to be kicked out, so unfeeling , not only chilling, but also really sad!

Therefore, like a wronged child bride, Xiao Anzi hid in bed and cried all night, the redness and swelling on her face did not go away, and her eyes were swollen again. It's really cheap to say, the eunuch's body is spoiled by the acquired thieves, which hurts the harmony of nature, so many of their ideas are absolutely different from men, and even from ordinary women.Xiao Anzi made Concubine Yi scold until she cried, but from the tears she was determined, thinking how to win Concubine Yi's favor, how to win Concubine Yi's praise?Only by thinking thoroughly in this way can he feel that a heart has a place to rest.

So the next morning, when the door of Concubine Yi's bedroom was first opened, when the maid came out to scoop water, he knelt outside the door and loudly reported, "Little Anzi, please greet the master!" There was no sound inside at first, and then he said, "Come in!" Opening the door curtain, I saw Concubine Yi sitting in front of the dressing table with her back to the door. She was wearing a rose purple satin jacket, moon white soft satin trousers, and a long sapphire blue nylon silk vest for combing hair. Like black satin, it was draped below her waist, and a court lady was smoothing her hair with a wide-tooth comb.She herself was raising her hand and scratching her scalp gently with her five extremely long nails. The sleeve of the jacket fell to the elbow, revealing a white wrist. On her wrist was a jade bracelet as green as A Wang Chunshui.

Little Anzi didn't dare to look any further, knelt down again, stood up and said with a smile, "Master, did you sleep well last night?" "En!" Concubine Yi saw his swollen eyes from crying in the mirror, turned around quickly, looked at him intently, nodded and said: "Be careful when you are on the job! You will benefit in the future." "Master's grace." Xiao Anzi got down on the ground, kowtowed again, and then got up to be his servant. What he does is very different, but there is an ever-changing purpose, everything he does, he must let Concubine Yi know.At this time, I checked the checkpoints in the house. Are those exquisite eight-tone bells wound up?What furnishings are not in the right place?Everything was found.Finally, seeing dust under the kang bed, I personally took a brown broom and went inside to clean it. Concubine Yi saw his actions, but didn't say anything.According to the daily routine, after freshening up and passing breakfast, the front and back yards "wander around" to digest food. After walking around enough, change clothes and go to the central palace to greet the queen. Now Xiao Anzi was in a difficult situation again, he had to go with him every day to the Central Palace as usual, but his swollen face, especially his eyes, was really shameful, yet he didn't dare to ask Concubine Yi for leave.After thinking about it for a long time, I had no choice but to hide, hoping that if the master didn't see him, he wouldn't ask and just pass by. Concubine Yi is a very delicate person, so why not ask: "Where is Xiao Anzi?" Since he couldn't get through, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree: "The slave is here!" He replied loudly, and rushed to work as an errand. Seeing him like that, Concubine Yi felt that he was a bit pitiful, so she said, "You don't have to wait on me today!" If Xiao Anzi was amnesty, he didn't dare to show a happy expression, and answered "Yes!" in a low voice, as if he didn't ask him to follow, and felt aggrieved. "What's wrong with your eyes?" Knowing that he was swollen from crying, Concubine Yi was embarrassed to point it out, so she said: "Go back to your room and rest! You don't have to work today! Find some medicine to treat it, and then apply it with a hot towel! " Xiao Anzi really felt grateful for such warm words and comfort.Think about the tears that night, consciously not in vain. The time for Concubine Yi to arrive at the Central Palace is usually later than other concubines. This is due to three reasons. First, she wants to show that she has the highest status among the concubines.Secondly, she doesn't want to meet Concubine Li. When she sees Concubine Li, she will feel sore and uncomfortable.Another thing is to stay at the end, so that you can talk to the queen, first to inquire about some news, and second, to speak to the camera, and to fulfill her wish with the order of the middle palace. This day, it was the queen who asked her something first, and before she said anything, she frowned, "What's the matter?" When she opened her mouth, she didn't even take it seriously, "It's presumptuous to say Xiao Anzi, isn't it?" As soon as Concubine Yi heard the queen's words, she felt angry-not at the queen, but at the people who came to the queen to tell tales, but she refused to express these feelings in color, only calmly and slightly arrogantly He replied: "No one in my place dares to be presumptuous!" "Then, how do you say that he contradicted elder brother?" Concubine Yi smiled, this smile was artificial, very contrived, one could tell at a glance that she was proud of her son, and then replied in a slightly regretful tone: "Brother is self-willed, naughty, little brother An Zi can be considered a very alert person, which made him laugh and cry." Talking about this important public case as a joke, the queen has nothing to say, and just laughed it off. So Concubine Yi casually asked again: "Who did the Queen listen to?" The queen was honest and not good at telling lies, so she replied casually: "My elder brother told me." She smiled and added: "This child!" Concubine Yi also smiled silently.Then he dropped the matter and talked about something else.It's just that he still couldn't let go of it in his heart, and Xiao Anzi kept saying: It's not a good thing for big brother to be willing to get close to the queen!It seems that this is really not without insight. So, in the afternoon, she went to Zhonggong again.The queen loves to eat snacks. In addition to the exquisite snacks from the imperial dining room, there are often special messengers who send famous snacks from the capital. The eldest princess born to Concubine Li.This is also one of the reasons why the sister and brother clamored to go to the Queen's place in the afternoon. As soon as Concubine Yi arrived, the two siblings stood up to greet Concubine Yi like sensible big children, knelt down and called her "Emiang".Then they held hands and went to play with their jigsaw puzzles again. Concubine Yi accompanied the queen to sit on the kang, drinking tea and chatting. After a while, the sister and brother quarreled, "What's the matter? What's the matter?" the queen asked loudly. Everyone's nannies came to fight one after another.The two sisters and younger brothers ignored them and ran to the queen one after the other to tell them. "Elder brother bullied me!" The princess pouted and said. "Who bullied you?" The elder brother opened his voice and yelled, looking righteous and strong, "You can't show it, it's a shame. The old fisherman lacks a head, so what is it?" The queen was delighted when she heard it, "What's 'the old fisherman has lost his head'?" "Emperor Niang, come and see!" The elder brother took the queen to watch the jigsaw puzzle they put up, and the eldest princess followed closely.This kind of "lawsuit", from the beginning to the present, they have ignored Concubine Yi, and Concubine Yi can't get in a word. The jigsaw puzzles played by the eldest brother and the eldest princess are different from the folk ones. They were improved by their grandmother, Empress Xuanzong Xiaoquan.Empress Xiaoquan grew up in Suzhou, and she is proficient in all the games in the Jiangnan Pavilion. The jigsaw puzzles improved by her are actually more than seven pieces, so they can put out more and more complicated tricks.Each pattern is drawn into a picture and titled, which is called "Qiqiaopu". The sisters and brothers competed to put up the "score", and the elder brother made a trick called "the beauty under the moonlight forest". The beauty was done, but he forgot to put the moon. Brother lost, he refused to be called a slap, but said: "You deserve five slaps. If you lose, fight straight, if you win, fight together! " The eldest princess agreed, and put on a trick appointed by the eldest brother, called "Fishing the Snow in the Cold River Alone". The queen asked their sister and brother to pull them over, and she could tell at a glance: "It's one piece less!" Sure enough, one piece was missing!One piece of semi-circular board is missing, hanging above it is the "moon", and it is placed on the old fisherman's body, which is the "head". Before the eldest princess can speak, the elder brother yells first. "Why is one piece missing? Find it, find it quickly!" So the maid and the nanny bent down to look for it. The semi-circular board was only half an inch long, and it was too small to find it. "Forget it!" the queen ordered, "There's no need to look for it. Bring another pair for Elder Brother and Princess to play with." "No! You have to find it." The elder brother pointed to the eldest princess and said, "If you can't find it, you lose!" "Emperor Niang, look, elder brother is unreasonable." "Okay, okay!" The queen persuaded the fight with a smile, "This one doesn't count." "And what about the first one?" asked the eldest princess. "The first one? Let's count..., Double Happiness loses. Come on, Double Happiness, let the Eldest Princess hit the palm of your hand!" Shuangxi smiled and stretched out her hand, but the eldest princess refused to hit her, so she twisted her body in refusal.Concubine Yi looked on coldly, seeing the elder brother making troubles, she walked over quietly, stretched out her hand to grab his small fist, and took out the hard-to-find semi-circular board from the fist! "A worthless thing! I lost to Sarai!" Concubine Yi casually slapped the elder brother's palm hard. Playing very lively, all of a sudden because the elder brother was punished, he wanted to cry and didn't dare to cry, drove away the laughter in the room, looked at each other, and didn't dare to make a sound. The queen felt very bored, turned around and went back to the kang to sit and smoke a pipe.Shuangxi winked at the nannies, and they all knelt down with the elder brother and the eldest princess, and quietly left the palace. "Big brother is going to school soon, so it's time to calm down." The queen said so. From the second day on, the elder brother could no longer play as happily as usual, until the sixth day of April, the day before the entrance, the emperor specially summoned the elder brother's master Li Hongzao to inquire. When Li Pengzao reported the elder brother's preparations for school, the emperor expressed his satisfaction.He asked again: "Emperor Gao Zongchun's hadith, there is a passage about the emperor's classics, do you remember?" "I will keep it in my heart, don't dare to forget!" "Read it to me." This is to test the "master" on purpose, Li Hongzao replied: "Yes!" Then he thought about it for a while, and recited in a very clear voice: "On the twenty-fourth day of the first month of the first year of Qianlong, the emperor's master and grand scholar Ertai, Zhang Tingyu, Zhu Shi, Zuo Du Yu Shi Fumin, Shi Lang Xu Yuanmeng, Shao Ji: "Although the prince is young, Tao Shu's cultivation must start from a young age. You can teach him with all your heart. If you don't teach, Qing and others might as well be too strict. The way of teaching has always been that being strict is beneficial while being lenient is detrimental. In the future, the prince will grow up to know himself.'" "That's right!" The emperor nodded, "What I want to tell you is these words, As the saying goes: 'You have to eat well when you open your mouth', you are the master who enlightened you, don't let me down!" Li Hongzao hurriedly met with his hat off, and replied in fear and trepidation: "I dare to be unstoppable, I owe God's grace!" The emperor turned his face to the imperial minister standing next to the imperial book case, the six-headed son-in-law Jingshou, and said, "It's not suitable for the study to be lively, but it's also not suitable for it to be too deserted. Brother, it would be great if I had someone to read with me!" Jing Shou was naturally clumsy, and he replied slowly: "It must be of similar status and age. King Dun's second child, Zai Yi, and King Gong's eldest brother, Zai Cheng, can accompany the elder brother to read, but they are not there. Here. Unless...." "Unless you are in Beijing." Sushun, who was standing behind the emperor, took a step forward and said, "Besides, there is only Master Li alone now, so I'm afraid that he will be too busy and delay the elder brother's homework. , after returning to Luan in the autumn, I will ask for an order to handle it!" "Well, that's true too!" The emperor said nothing more.There should not be too much silence between the monarch and his ministers, so Su Shun pouted, Li Hongzao knelt down, and Jing Shou led the way out of the imperial study. "What should I reward?" the emperor turned around to discuss with Sushun. "As usual, it's Wenqi's pen and inkstone." When the emperor picked up the ink brush, he wrote the words "Reward Li Hongzao". Su made his own claim by the way, and read the reward behind the emperor's back. "Two bolts of Ning silk, a pair of purses, a side inkstone, and ten large scroll brushes." He read a sentence, the emperor wrote a sentence, and after finishing writing, he handed Zhu Yu to Sushun, and the emperor went to the central palace again, called the elder brother, and warned him earnestly. Brother seems to understand the ground should be.
