Chapter 1992: Enjoying the Love
"Ha ha……"
The Queen Mother smiled so hard that her teeth were showing.
As people get older, life becomes more difficult.
I am always afraid that I will become an old object and be despised by others.
As a result, it was treated as a treasure, which felt really good.
"Giggle..."
Niguzhu took the Queen Mother's hand and laughed too.
Children, like small animals, are most able to sense adults' emotions and are most likely to take advantage of them.
Seeing the queen mother happy, she kept talking, "Mother Wuku's hands are dry, remember to wipe them with perfume. It's windy now, it won't hurt if you wipe them with perfume, otherwise Mother Wuku's father will be worried..."
The old man couldn't stop smiling after hearing the previous sentence, and this sentence almost made him cry.
The empress dowager was a little stunned. She was already this age and her parents had passed away decades ago, but now when she closed her eyes, it seemed as if their voices and smiles were right in front of her.
When my aunt was deposed, the Empress Dowager took charge and appointed a successor from Khorchin for Emperor Shizu.
As a result, Emperor Taizu did not agree, and the mother and son argued. In the end, she entered the palace with the ceremony of a concubine, and was made empress a month later.
The younger sister who entered the palace with him was the wife of Emperor Taizu. Like other Mongolian concubines, her rank was lower than that of a concubine, but higher than that of Manchu concubines of the rank of Xiaofujin and Gege.
Decades passed, and the people in the palace were replaced. The only old people left were her, two concubines dowagers, and a nanny named Su Ma.
Shushu sat below the Ninth Prince and knew that Niguzhu could not say anything more, so he said, "You have learned the Nine Clans, so learn from Mother Wuku."
Niguzhu immediately closed her mouth, fearing that it was not closed tightly enough, and covered it with her little hands, looking at Fengsheng as if for help.
Shushu saw it and felt amused.
This is a poor student.
As soon as you mention studying, he immediately becomes obedient.
Fengsheng was a good brother who always protected his younger brothers and sisters. He had been sitting obediently beside them, but now he took the initiative to step forward and said, "Mother Wuku, the nine clans are the family members, and they can all be included in the family tree. I just told my little brother..."
As he spoke, he recited a few lines from the Three Character Classic clearly.
"Three Character Classic" is an enlightenment book, catchy and easy to understand.
The Queen Mother listened, touched Fengsheng's head, smiled and praised: "This is good, brother is really smart, he knows so much."
Fengsheng has grown up a little now and doesn’t look as much like his mother as he did when he was little, but the shadow of Shushu is still between his eyebrows and eyes.
The Queen Mother loved the child and loved his dog. Seeing that the child was so sensible, she couldn't help but feel pity for him. She looked at the Ninth Prince and said, "This child is the eldest in terms of age, but he is only a few hours older than his brothers and sisters. As a father, you must not be too strict with the child. He is still young."
The Ninth Prince said with some pride: "Grandmother, this is because my grandson and your granddaughter-in-law are sensible, and the children they gave birth to are also sensible, without much teaching."
The Tenth Prince also spoke up for the Ninth Prince: "It was the Ninth Brother and Sister-in-law who taught by example, and the three children followed their example and became filial and sensible."
The Queen Mother nodded and looked at Akdan again.
Akdan was wearing a light blue jacket without a single wrinkle on his body. He sat upright, and the soles of his boots were snow-white.
She looked at the other children, who were dressed similarly, but none of them looked as spotless as this one.
She looked at Shushu.
Grandparents and grandchildren have lived together for many years. Shushu looked at the old lady's doubts and said helplessly: "Akedan loves cleanliness. He changed his clothes at the fifth institute before coming here."
Not only does she love cleanliness, she is also vain.
I have a mirror and I must look in it when I go out. I cannot stand having any unevenness on my body.
She had clearly just changed her clothes before leaving the Prince's Mansion, and less than an hour had passed before she had to change her clothes because her back was wrinkled from riding in the carriage.
Born rich, that's him.
The Queen Mother said with a smile, "You are very meticulous in raising your children. This is not like his fifth uncle. When he was young, he wanted to run around the palace and his body was never clean."
The old lady was talking about ancient times, and Niguzhu felt that he was able to do it again, and said, "Then isn't Fifth Uncle tired? My mother said that I get tired easily when I walk because I have more flesh than my eldest and second brothers, just like I am holding two big geese."
The Queen Mother shook her head and said, "I'm not tired. I'm very energetic. It's just that my appetite has increased. When I was your age, your uncle could eat two bowls of rice."
It’s not that she spoils the child, it’s just that the deaths of children in the palace before were terrifying.
Being able to eat is a blessing, and keeping it strong is better than anything else.
Thinking of this, she looked at the little prince and was not very satisfied. She asked the Tenth Lady, "Is the little prince growing taller? Why doesn't he look as fat as his brothers and sisters?"
The Tenth Lady said, "He loves to say no lately, even when we eat. He always says 'no' no matter what we ask him to eat. It takes a lot of coaxing before he eats a few bites."
The Queen Mother heard this and felt distressed. She said, "That's because the food we prepared didn't suit his taste. If he doesn't like it, you should prepare something he likes. This is your first time raising a child, so you are too careless. If you don't know, ask your sister-in-law."
The Queen Mother had raised the Fifth Prince and the Ninth Princess before, so she knew that children get hungry easily. She didn't care that it was not yet lunchtime, and told Nanny Bai, "Set up the small dining table and bring up the steamed buns and cheese prepared for the children."
Nanny Bai responded and went downstairs. After about half a cup of tea, she brought in someone to carry in a kang table with a dozen plates of steamed buns on it.
There are steamed steamed buns, meat rolls, boiled dumplings, four-happiness steamed buns, fried rolls and small pancakes, baked pumpkin cakes and ham and Buddha's hand cakes. In addition to sweet crispy cheese, there is also salty chicken sauce tofu pudding to go with the buns.
The best pastry chef is in the palace, and the best pastry chef in the palace is in the Empress Dowager’s palace.
The rest were fine, but the lifelike pumpkin pastry and ham and Buddha's hand pastry not only made Niguzhu unable to take his eyes off, but the other three children couldn't help but be attracted as well.
"Ernie, little pumpkin..."
Niguzhu was amazed and asked Shushu to look: "Is it the little pumpkin born in Pumpkin's family..."
As she spoke, she couldn't help but clench her fist, looked at the pumpkin crisp, then looked at her own hand, and said, "It's smaller than my hand, as big as my little brother's hand."
Shushu said with a serious look on his face, "This is the food that Mother Wuku prepared for you. What do you want to say?"
"Thank you, Mother Uku..."
Several voices came one after another.
In addition to Niguzhu, not only Fengsheng and Akdan spoke, but the young prince also spoke.
The triplets were usually taught together and were used to it.
The younger brother is learning from his older brothers and sisters.
Young children love to play with older children and also love to imitate their actions.
The Queen Mother was delighted to hear this and said with a smile, "You're welcome. Mother Wuku is happy to prepare these for you..."
Listening to the children's baby voices, she felt younger.
She was getting older and increasingly afraid of silence.
Looking at these healthy and lively children, she thought of the little prince from the Fifth Prince's family.
Ever since Hetala gave birth to a child, I thought there would be children making trouble in Ningshou Palace.
She had given him respect in the past, and even didn't get close to Hongsheng, but what did she get in the end?
The Queen Mother felt that she could finally let it go.
She has no shortage of great-grandchildren.
Shushu and the Tenth Lady's sister-in-law stood up, wiped the children's hands, rolled up their sleeves, and let them eat by themselves.
The steamed buns in the palace are served on plates, with eight pieces on each plate, so there is no need to worry about children fighting over them.
The Tenth Lady was watching her son, still thinking about how to coax him to eat, when she saw the little prince sitting between Niguzhu and Fengsheng, waiting obediently for Fengsheng to share the pumpkin cakes with them.
Niguzhu looked at the pumpkin crisps on the plate, then at the Buddha's hand crisps, and said, "Brother, do you want more..."
The little prince beside him also said: "I want that..."
Fengsheng gave his younger brothers and sisters another round of Buddha's hand pastry.
The children then began to eat.
Shifujin was stunned as she watched her son eat so much that he couldn't even lift his head. She looked at Shushu and whispered, "Sister-in-law Jiu, what's going on?"
Shu Shu said: "Children are like this. They like to rush to eat something delicious when it smells good from another pot."
Tenth Concubine: “…”
This is the downside of having only one child in the family.
No one competed with him.
The Tenth Prince was sitting on the ground, looking at his son with mixed feelings.
You listen to everyone except your parents, right?!
The Tenth Prince finally understood why some people would be willing to beat their children.
It's really infuriating when it comes.
By the time the children had eaten a circle of steamed buns, yogurt and tofu pudding, each of them had half a bowl, and they were all full.
Niguzhu thought that there was a garden outside the main hall, which looked so huge, so he wanted to go out and play.
"Mother Wuku, do you have any geese here?"
Niguzhu gestured and said, "I have a big goose, this tall, this big, very majestic, called General Bai."
The Queen Mother thought for a moment and said, "I don't have geese, but I have a pair of peacocks and a pair of cranes..."
But their wings are clipped and they cannot fly.
It was specially raised in the garden for the Empress Dowager to enjoy.
Niguzhu widened his eyes. He had never seen the real thing, but he had seen crane ornaments.
Seeing this, the Queen Mother ordered Nanny Bai, "Take the children to see the peacocks and cranes. Bring more people, and carry the little prince and princess..."
After hearing the instructions, Nanny Bai took the palace maids and carried the young masters out.
It was exactly two o'clock in the afternoon, time for lunch, and the empress dowager called someone to the dining table.
Nanny Bai had just said in front of everyone that the food prepared was what Shushu and the Tenth Lady liked to eat, but when lunch came, there was the Ninth Prince's favorite scallops and stewed cabbage, and the Tenth Prince's favorite roasted pork belly.
The Ninth Prince immediately said, "It is still the Imperial Grandmother who loves her grandson."
The Queen Mother said, "Now that you are older, you are not allowed to be picky about food anymore. Don't let your appetite be outdone by the children."
There were eight plates of steamed buns on the children’s table just now, and every one of them had been eaten.
Niguzhu, who eats a lot, ate everything and even had two extra steamed dumplings.
Akdan, who ate less, also ate three or four steamed buns.
The Ninth Prince smiled and said, "Don't be picky, my grandson has already changed it."
The Tenth Prince was also very happy. He ate a few more bites of the barbecued meat and said, "My grandson has prepared a barbecue oven at home, but it can never taste as good as the one in the palace."
The Queen Mother smiled and said, "The oven here is tall and big, and has strong firepower. Next time you want to eat, ask Xiao Buyin to come and get it..."
