Qi Concubine's Cultivation Notes in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 100

On the second day Li Yunting went to Yonghe Palace to pay her respects to Concubine De, she hadn't walked around like this for a long time, and with her heavy clothes, she felt that her steps were a lot heavier.Opening the courtyard door, I was exposed to the slightly cooler air, and I couldn't help but feel refreshed.

Li Yunting went around the wall of the imperial garden to the Yonghe Palace. The weather was so cold that the plum blossoms were also urged to bloom. Although the flowers were not seen, one could smell the faint fragrance floating around.It's still early now, and the scenery of the imperial garden is fine. Looking at the sky yesterday, it is also a sunny day today. Wait until you come out of the Yonghe Palace, and then walk through the imperial garden.

The steps were originally heavy, but gradually became brisk, and Yin Chen, who was following behind, also quickened her steps. Before entering the Yonghe Palace, Li Yunting saw Yin Chen's cheeks were bright red, reflecting the cold white weather, As bright as peaches and plums in spring.

Soon I arrived at the Yonghe Palace. As soon as I entered, I opened a small gap and felt the warm wind blowing on my face. The maid quickly closed the door, and Li Yunting took off her skin, with a slim posture.

When Concubine De saw Li Yunting, she was plumper than before, with a smell of fireworks in the world, and her complexion was set off like snow.

"Sure enough, you've become a mother-in-law. Take a step forward and let me have a look?" Concubine De smiled and waved to Li Yunting. Seeing her approaching, she squeezed her hand, "I'm more blessed than before. Yes. Take a look, Mammy, don't you?"

The nanny next to Concubine De also smiled and said: "Isn't it? This is better than before. Our fourteenth elder brother was just talking about it yesterday. We haven't seen Sifang Fujin for a long time. Hearing the full moon banquet, I immediately Baba ran over."

Concubine De said: "It's still childish, it hasn't grown up."

"I feel a lot calmer than when I saw it last time." Li Yunting said.

"Where, it's clearly still a child." Concubine De said with a smile. "I once watched him reading in the upper study from afar, looking calm, and I said, Amitabha, it can be regarded as a blessing to make him calm down, who knows if it is an illusion, or the skin is tight."

Originally, the topic of the two of them basically revolved around Yinzhen, but now that Li Yunting also has a child, half of the time is spent on Hongpan.

The first thing to talk about is Hongpan's name, "The Holy Majesty named him, privately, he gave him a nickname, closed the door and let the maids who are close to him call him, it can suppress his luck." Concubine De said.Because the Holy Majesty's name is naturally very good, so I don't discuss it, and I said a nickname.

"Brother Rui." Li Yunting said, "Let our two maids and the foster mother shout and play in the room."

"It's a good name." Concubine De said, "Auspicious snow heralds a good year, this year's snow is also good, and the name fits the occasion."

"It was because of the snow that I thought of this name." Li Yunting said, "When I named it that day, I thought about it several times. It was because the girls under me said that it was snowing, so I remembered this."

"I heard you talking about nurturing nanny, I remember it was Nanny Wu." Concubine De asked.

"It's Nanny Wu." Li Yunting said, "I helped a lot when I first got pregnant. When I gave birth to Brother Rui, you saw that Sumu girl, and she deserved your reward. It is said that she has a calm personality, but she stood there blankly that day, and was instructed by Nanny Wu to do some work."

"I have some impressions of that girl." Concubine De used a handkerchief to cover her slightly raised lips, "She is clever, and her personality is rare to be calm. It's also difficult, after all, I have never seen such a scene."

Talking gossip, Li Yunting brought the topic to how to raise children without a trace. Sometimes Defei would talk about her experience in raising children, and sometimes she would talk about the funny stories of the fourteenth elder brother when she was young. Li Yunting is a very A good listener, she speaks along with Concubine De, but at the same time has her own thoughts. Concubine De has not spoken so freely for a long time. She added cakes and tea in the middle, until noon, after eating, she covered her mouth with silk and slapped her. yawned.

Li Yunting naturally offered to resign.

"When the weather gets warmer, bring Xiao Hongpan over here, I'll take a good look at it." Concubine De said with a smile.

"That should be the case." Li Yunting said.

Although it was spring, the fourth elder brother opened the mansion, and a group of people moved out, and they would come in to say hello before Fujin entered the door, but waiting for Fujin to enter the door, the time for Li Yunting to come again would be short.Concubine De couldn't help feeling the rush of time.

Li Yunting came out of Yonghe Palace, saw Kangxi's guard of honor approaching, she stepped aside and squatted down.

Kangxi saw Li Yunting standing aside, "Whose family?"

"It's the four-sided Fujin." The father-in-law said quickly.

"Don't worry about it, let's move on." Kangxi said flatly, he gave Hongpan a name because he was Yinzhen's first son, and Erniang had some status.Li Yunting just has some connection with Prince Yu's residence, he just pays a little attention to it, and it can't be said that he looks favorably on him.After eating at noon, I was a little drowsy during the march, so I didn't bother to accept her modest courtesy.

After the guard of honor passed by, Yin Chen supported Li Yunting's arm, "Cian Fujin, do you still want to go to the Imperial Garden?"

"Of course!" Li Yunting said.

There are plants in the four seasons in the imperial garden. In addition to plum blossoms and wintersweet in winter, there are also evergreen pines and cypresses and camphor trees.Li Yunting is wearing Chu Hong's cloak today, with her hands and feet showing the tender apricot hem, when will she look good.A touch of red in the distance in winter makes people feel warm in their hearts.

"Cian Fujin, let's go back to the room early." Yin Chen said, "After sleeping, we can tease little elder brother when we wake up."

"It's enough to have you take care of me." Li Yunting said, "Although I like Hongpan, I can't live without him every day. What's more, I haven't touched books or chess records for a long time during confinement, and I can't even practice two big characters. No, now I have some time for myself."

"Brother Rui's son Yuxue is cute." Seeing that there was no one in private, Yin Chen called Hong Pan as Brother Rui, her voice kept low.Originally seeing those who have children, no matter whether they are cute or not, even many children are crying and making people upset. When a mother sees her son, her heart is filled with tenderness.From Yin Chen's point of view, Elder Brother Hongpan had a good birth and a good temper, especially in Li Yunting's arms, he didn't cry or fuss, instead he showed a soft smile, his dark eyes were shining brightly.Li Yunting would definitely not want to leave such a child, so now that Li Yunting said that she would rather read books and play chess, Yin Chen was a little confused.

"Silly girl." Li Yunting said, "Each of us is an independent individual. Although Brother Rui is born and has an additional mother's identity, it does not prevent me from doing other things. Everything is too late. I have a mother to take care of me. He, I feel at ease, just play with him once in a while."

Yin Chen's eyes were wide open, apparently unable to understand what Li Yunting was thinking.

Li Yunting said with a slight smile: "At least, I'm still side Fujin, serving our master. If my heart is all on the child, wouldn't it be that my father is being left out in the cold?"

A single word awakened the dreamer, and Yin Chen suddenly realized.Actually, Li Yunting didn't want to please Yinzhen, but she didn't need to explain in detail about Yinchen.

"Side Fujin's far-sightedness." Yin Chen said.

"Little girl is better than before." Li Yunting said.

"It's no match for Sister Su Mu."

"After all, Su Mu is older than you, and he used to be with my mother." Li Yunting said, suddenly thinking of Yinzhen's words, soon his father went to Beijing to take office, probably because his family moved to the capital. Fujin can return without entering.I don't know how my younger brother is doing now?Counting his age, he might have tried to take the exam, or he might have been preparing for the exam in Beijing.Across the high walls of the Forbidden City, there is no chance to walk around dignifiedly.

"Cian Fujin, let's go back." Yin Chen said, "It's cold, be careful of catching cold."

"Let's go."

When he returned to the yard, he saw Mrs. Song, she was bending over to look at Hongpan, Nanny Wu was staring at the child in the cradle, Su Mu's eyes lit up when he saw Li Yunting. "Side Fujin."

Waiting for Mrs. Song to greet Li Yunting, Mrs. Song took the initiative to say: "I saw my little elder brother yesterday, he was born really well, so I couldn't help but come over to say hello to my little elder brother."

During the three rites, Song also met Hongpan, but at that time his body was still red, and his eyes were not opened, which was not very good-looking, but now it is different, Hongpan's white and round body, facial features resemble Yin Zhen, thinking of the unfated child in her stomach before, Song felt that her heart melted when she saw Hongpan little elder brother.

Li Yunting looked at Hongpan. At this time, the nanny had passed milk, and it was time for him to sleep. Because of Song's teasing, he frowned and pursed his mouth, looking like he was going to cry or not. Song also praised Hongpan's cuteness.

"Nurse just passed Hongpan's milk." Li Yunting said, "Song Gege might as well go back to rest first."

The smile on Song's face froze. Originally, Song was thinking about how to open her mouth to see Hongpan little elder brother more. Now that she recognizes someone, Hongpan can also remember herself. Now Li Yunting poured cold water on her. His face also sank. "Ci Fujin also had a good rest, and the maidservant left."

Hastily came out of the yard, stood at the gate of Li Yunting's yard, couldn't help but spit, "What the hell." Is it because Li Yunting's people will hear it, and the voice is very low, that's all it is. The maid beside her jumped up, "Ge Ge."

"Calling the soul!" Song said angrily: "Calling everyone's voice can make a broken sound, so what's the use of keeping you?"

"Gege, let's go back first." The person who followed Song Shi today was a second-class maid, who originally thought it was a good opportunity, but she had never seen such a posture, and she acted like this at the door of Xi Fujin.The voice was faintly crying.

"Our little elder brother in Fujin is just full moon, and he is happy about it." Song Shi vented all the anger in her heart just now on this girl, "Who will show you such a bitter look here? Even if you don't talk about it, little ah Brother, Ce Fujin also needs to rest, why are you crying?"

Li Yunting in the house could hear Mrs. Song's words clearly, because the doors and windows were tightly controlled, and the others only knew that Mrs. Song was attacking the little girl outside, but the voice was intermittent, "Nurse Wu, let Mrs. Song Go to rest early, with such a big anger, could it be that you are on fire? Keep eating light food until the Chinese New Year."

"Yes." Nanny Wu bowed out, Li Yunting's voice was light and light, which reduced Song's role.

When Mrs. Song heard what Nanny Wu said, there was a smile on her face, but there was no smile in her eyes, which seemed to make Nanny Wu tremble, "Thank you for your kindness, I feel that there seems to be something in my mouth during this time. ulcer."

Mammy Wu laughed dryly, and didn't know what to say, but it was Song who said, "Mammy also go back to rest earlier. I'll take a step first." She said while staring at the maid who followed her, "What are you doing in a daze? Like a wooden stake, waiting for the rain to grow mushrooms?" Then he said to Nanny Wu, "It's really this girl who is so annoying, so stupid, it makes me angry for no reason." Without waiting for Nanny Wu to answer, Song Shi left first.

Madam Wu lamented that it was indeed not a fuel-efficient lamp, so she went back to her room and returned to her life.

"We can't make any waves." Li Yunting said, "Mama has worked hard just now, so go and take a nap for a while, and let Su Mu and Yin Chen take care of it."

Yin Chen smiled and said, "That's right, Nanny Wu, let Sister Su Mu and I come, you go to rest first."

In the cold wind outside, Mrs. Song's face changed color and she returned to her yard, while Li Yunting's yard was peaceful for a while, and occasionally the sound of the charcoal fire exploding inside the house could be heard.

Before it was time for dinner, Mrs. Song went to visit Li Yunting, but was kicked out. Mrs. Song stood stupidly at the gate of Li Yunting's yard, pointing and cursing Huai, but Li Yunting cut the expenses. It was a good show, at least Wu Shi heard it with a smile on his face.

"Song Gege will last forever." Wu said, "As long as there is her in this yard, there will be me. Amitabha, I often think about why some people can live without paying attention. We can live on."

"How can Song Gege compare to Gege? You have a clear mind." The servant girl said.

"It's just that in such an environment, it's inevitable to see clearly." Wu Shi said.

As soon as Song Shi was attacked by Li Yunting, she felt depressed and couldn't get out of her chest.Throwing the pillow and quilt on the bed, beat it to vent.

Finally, she was persuaded by the servant girl's soft words to come back. She sat down and embroidered for a while, and saw that the dishes in the evening were really light, and she felt like she was staring at the food. It was as if she was chewing on Li Yunting's flesh and blood. The maid's eyelids twitched.I thought in my heart why I was assigned to such a master.

After Song ate this bland dish for a full month, Hongpan also grew a lot.

Brother Hongpan's limp hands and feet also began to gain strength. Nanny Wu took Yin Chen to take care of Brother Hongpan, thereby grinding her temper. It stands to reason that Li Yunting should also recruit some new people here. It's just that there are no useful people at the end of the year.

"When the mansion is opened, we will also need to add people." Li Yunting said, "There is no rush. At this moment, Su Mu and Yin Chen are the ones I have always used, but they are helping hands. Hongpan has a good temper and takes care of them." Not too tired to wake up."

This sentence is true. If Hongpan is shitting and pissing, he doesn't cry, he just hums a few words, and it's the same when he's hungry. He usually smiles when he sees Li Yunting, who looks like It’s like a joyful blessing baby, and Nanny Wu also likes this little elder brother very much. In her words, “I have never seen such a good elder brother. The little elder brother is so obedient."

Speaking of Hongpan, Yinzhen's expression also became more relaxed. There was a biting cold wind outside, but the room inside was warm.

When it was snowing's turn one day, Li Yunting ordered Song's food to continue as usual.
