While the construction outside the imperial city was in full swing, there was no peace within the imperial city either. In early May, due to the crown prince's sacrifice to the queen's mausoleum, the palace affairs were complicated, and Emperor Kangxi also focused on his son Yin?
Although Yin is young, he has a bright mind. He kneels in front of the Queen's mausoleum and behaves gracefully and politely. After being taught orally by a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, Yin Xi could memorize every word of a memorial essay of more than 100 words well. It was rare that he lost his mother when he was young, but he still had feelings of admiration in his heart. Yinyin was so hurt that he burst into tears. Fortunately, the first-class public servant Xinyu who accompanied the sacrifice stepped forward to persuade the crown prince to get up, and Yinyi's tears did not stop. In fact, there is no need to be taught. Children who have been without a mother since childhood are always precocious and sensitive. What's more, being born into a royal family, they naturally have more worries.
When Emperor Kangxi listened to the attendants' detailed report on the prince's words and deeds during the sacrifice to the queen, he was filled with pity. He even went to the palace gate in person to welcome the crown prince Yin? Yijia returned to the palace. The emperor tried his best to express the highest attention and care he could give to this young prince.
After the crown prince returned to the palace that day, he took the initiative to stick to the emperor's side, with a sad look on his face. Kangxi was not at ease and personally took Yin? to the Empress Dowager's Palace for dinner. The Empress Dowager loved children, and even specially summoned the eldest brother, eldest princess and other princes and princesses to chat together, hoping that the lively atmosphere of family affection could dilute the melancholy in Yin?'s heart.
During the dinner, Yin? was also teased by his brothers and sisters several times. After saying goodbye at night, Kangxi took Yin? to personally send him back to Yuqing Palace to rest. When he arrived outside the main hall, Yin said farewell to Huang Ama in a formal and polite manner. On his fair and tight little face, there was a hint of loneliness that was inappropriate for his age. Kangxi couldn't bear to see it, so he took his awkward son to bed, personally helped him tuck him into bed, and softly coaxed him to sleep.
When Kangxi was about to get up, he saw that Yin's little hand was still holding the corner of Kangxi's dragon robe. Kangxi said to him: "Yin, have a good sleep. Tomorrow Emperor Ama will take you to ride a horse."
Yin? He closed his eyes slightly but was reluctant to leave. With a hint of coquettish tone, he whispered pitifully: "Huang Ama, don't leave."
Kangxi felt sourly, caressed Yin?'s cheek, and promised him: "Well, Ama will watch you sleep."
After waiting for a long time for Yinxi's little mouth to curl up slightly and fall asleep soundly, Kangxi took out the corner of his clothes from his son's hands, put Yinxi's hand into the quilt and covered it, got up and returned to Qianqing Palace. However, after Kangxi returned to the palace, he provoked a huge rage.
According to the rules of the palace, when the emperor comes back, there will naturally be close officials who will immediately serve the emperor to change his clothes. During these days, considering the situation in which Emperor Kangxi and Wei Liangyi were inseparable, sleeping with their necks crossed, it was inevitable that the Wei family would always be in front of the imperial chariot. It's not that Kangxi specifically wanted Wei Liangyi to work hard, but the couple who were passionately in love with Zheng Nong, even if they didn't do any work, as long as that person could appear in front of him without saying a word, they would be happy in their hearts.
Kangxi felt sorry for Yin, so he was a little absent-minded when changing clothes at first, but after a while, he remembered that he had not seen Wei Liangyi since he came back. Kangxi frowned slightly, turned around and ordered: "Serve tea."
When Kangxi came out of the clean room and sat down at the sapphire and yellow silk table, the person who brought tea was another palace lady specializing in tea. Kangxi's face did not show any signs of depression, and his heart was not depressed. The emperor had no other training in the palace, and he was the first to master the art of concentrating his mind. The more he cared about the people and things in his heart, he would not say a word out of his mouth, but would just keep his face calm and let the servants serve him. Take a guess.
Manager Gu was very obedient. Taking advantage of Kangxi's calmness while drinking warm tea, he gently walked in and reported: "Your Majesty, Master Wei is feeling a little unwell and rested early."
When Kangxi heard this, his eyelids twitched inexplicably. He raised his head and asked, "You were fine last night. Did you catch a cold?"
Manager Gu replied calmly and cautiously: "I say I'm a little tired, but I didn't catch a cold."
Kangxi was a little relieved, probably Wei Liangyi just felt tired and went to bed first. Kangxi didn't think much about it. He lay on the dragon bed and tossed and turned for a while before falling into a deep sleep. Unexpectedly, when Kangxi slept until midnight, he was gently awakened by Manager Gu.
"Your Majesty, wake up."
Kangxi was woken up inexplicably, and he was about to get angry in a daze, but when he heard Manager Gu's words, he jumped up in shock, grabbed Lao Gu's collar and shouted: "What did you say?"
Manager Gu also looked pale and reported to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the people in the palace are blushing."
