Chapter 1999: Receiving Gifts Today (Begging for Monthly Tickets)
Niguzhu continued talking in his childish voice.
"My eldest brother is not obedient either. He can't keep his own things well. I gave them to him because I liked him. My second brother also gave them to him because he liked him. My mother said that this is not good. You don't need to give away your beloved things. It's not good to put yourself at a disadvantage..."
"The second brother is the most naughty and the best at coaxing my father. My father said that he can trick a little princess into giving birth to him with his mouth in the future..."
"My dear little brother, you only eat and sleep, but you are fat, your arms are full of flesh..."
The Queen Mother listened patiently and couldn't help but smile.
Niguzhu said again: "The flute outside Ning'an Hall sounds so nice. I wanted to learn to play the flute, but my hands couldn't reach it. The small flute didn't work either. It made a 'woohoo' sound, like crying. My tenth uncle bought me a whistle, and I used the whistle to play the flute with my eighth aunt..."
The Queen Mother sensed something was wrong and asked, "What's going on with Eighth Aunt?"
Niguzhu blinked and said, "It's my eighth aunt... She lives next door to us. My mother said that my eighth aunt is very beautiful. I will be able to recognize her when I see her in the future."
The Queen Mother thought about the locations of the two families and the general layout of the Prince's Mansion, and sighed in her heart.
It is also pitiful for the wife of the first wife to live in a side courtyard.
I just hope that the Eighth Lady can be educated and be more careful with her words and actions in the future.
The royal family is the royal family. Even if she is the daughter of a princess and a descendant of Taizu, she must abide by the rules.
Niguzhu leaned against the Queen Mother's arms and said, "Mother Wuku, have you seen my Eighth Aunt? Is she as pretty as my Enie?"
The Queen Mother nodded and said, "I have seen it, it is almost as beautiful."
Niguzhu puffed out her chest and said, "Ene said that my eighth aunt really loves me. She gave me several good things as a first birthday gift. I will like my eighth aunt when I meet her. I like others to love me."
The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Okay, wait a while, your Eighth Aunt will be here, and you will see her then."
The Ninth Prince ignored the Eighth Prince, and the Queen Mother thought it was right.
The Eighth Prince has a crooked heart, and the Ninth Prince is close to him, so he can be easily fooled and suffer losses.
Shushu did not bear any grudge against the Eighth Lady, and she only spoke well of her sisters-in-law in front of the children. The Empress Dowager liked her behavior.
When the Eighth Lady was in power, Shushu never got close to her; when she lost power, she did not add insult to injury and even had good intentions towards her. This is what it means to be kind.
It's not easy for women to establish themselves in this world, so they don't need to be too harsh on others.
Niguzhu's eyebrows curved, and he said: "I have never seen the eighth aunt, but I have seen the seventh aunt. The seventh aunt is also beautiful and likes me. She also has a little sister at home..."
The Queen Mother praised: "You remembered all of this? That's amazing!"
Niguzhu nodded and said, "Seventh Aunt loves to eat candy. When she came home a few days ago, I gave her some candy, but she only ate a little bit and refused to eat any more."
If the Seventh Lady ate more of her candy, she would remember it clearly and would not want to give it away; but if she ate less of her candy, she would feel a little embarrassed, as if she seemed stingy.
"I'm not stingy..."
Niguzhu looked reluctant and said, "I have one little tiger left for my seventh aunt's elder sister..."
The Queen Mother held Niguzhu's little hand, feeling sorry for her great-granddaughter, and said, "If you love it, you don't have to share it with others. Mother Wuku will prepare other toys for you and your sisters."
Niguzhu shook his head and said, "No, it's just my favorite, so I wanted to give it to my sister. My sister will like it too..."
The grandfather and grandson were just chatting when two concubines arrived.
The two men couldn't take their eyes off the little fat girl.
There is really no such fat child in the palace. This child is really strong.
Niguzhu was sitting next to the Queen Mother, but he stood up when he saw the visitor, looked at the Queen Mother, and didn't know what to call.
The Queen Mother said to the two concubines: "This is the eldest princess of the Ninth Family, Niguzhu..."
As he spoke, he gently nudged Niguzhu again and said, "These are the two concubines. Please pay your respects!"
Niguzhu had just learned how to greet people and was curious. When he heard this, he took two steps forward and knelt down to greet them: "Greetings, Your Majesty. Greetings, Your Majesty."
Concubine Shuhui loved children very much and had taken care of the Seventeenth Prince before. When she saw Niguzhu, she reached out to help him and said, "I hope the eldest princess is well..."
Concubine Duanshun loves quietness and usually has a serious expression, but now she looks a little softer.
When the two concubines came, they prepared gifts for Niguzhu.
Not to mention anything else, just the food that the Ninth Prince and Shushu have presented to the Ningshou Palace over the years has never left out the two concubines.
The two concubines are not in a hot situation here. Although they have enough food, it will be different if they have something to fill their stomachs.
The two of them loved Niguzhu so much that they were more tolerant and fond of him.
The gift prepared by Concubine Duanshun was a string of eighteen pigeon-blood red coral beads, with a few jade beads interspersed in the middle and rubies the size of pigeon eggs at the bottom. It looked very valuable.
The Queen Mother looked at it and said, "Isn't this your beloved?"
Concubine Duanshun said, "It has been stored in the box for decades. Let the eldest princess play with it. It's also good to take it apart and re-string the beads."
As she spoke, she placed the eighteen seeds in Niguzhu's chubby hand.
Niguzhu fell in love with the bright red color, the rare green beads, and the huge ruby. However, he clenched his fist and looked at the queen mother instead of putting it away.
The Queen Mother nodded and said, "Take it and thank the Concubine Dowager."
Niguzhu then opened his chubby hands, took the eighteen-bead bracelet with both hands, and said, "Thank you..."
Her little face was round and chubby, and it trembled when she spoke.
Concubine Duanshun couldn't help herself, so she stretched out her finger and gently touched her chubby cheek, which felt so tender.
She was seldom so close to her children, so after touching them for a moment, she would take them back.
Niguzhu put the eighteenth child in the small bag he had prepared, then took Concubine Duanshun's hand, rubbed his chubby face against the palm of her hand, and said, "It feels so tender when you touch me like this. Guo Luomafa said I'm the fairest little princess..."
Concubine Duanshun felt her palms were warm, looked at Niguzhu's little red face, nodded and said, "Yes, the eldest princess has a tender face and is fair..."
The Queen Mother was standing nearby, and couldn't help laughing as she watched Concubine Duanshun lie with her eyes open.
Compared with her parents and brothers, she is not the same color.
That family of four is very fair-skinned. This one is either a little black girl or a little red-faced girl.
Other children's hair would turn this color only in summer; but for Niguzhu, it was this color in spring, which showed that he ran outside a lot.
The one prepared by Concubine Shuhui was a Galaha, which was carved from mutton-fat white jade and looked extremely soft.
The Queen Mother also recognized that this was the gift her sister received on her fifth birthday, an old item brought from Khorchin to the capital.
This was found out a few years ago. At that time, Concubine Shuhui wanted to raise the sixteenth princess born to Concubine Wang, but later the emperor chose the seventeenth prince.
The little prince doesn't play with these little girls' toys, so this thing was not given away.
Now is a good time to give Niguzhu as a gift.
Niguzhu let go of Concubine Duanshun's hand and looked at the four Galahas.
When the Queen Mother nodded, she also put her hands away and asked Concubine Shuhui: "You also like to play Galaha? Then give this to me, do you have any more?"
Concubine Shuhui also saw that the child was not afraid of strangers, so she smiled and nodded, "I still have a big one. This small one is suitable for small hands to play with. I kept the big one for big hands to play with."
Niguzhu said: "That's good. If it's not there, just tell me and I'll ask Enie to find it for you."
"Hey……"
Looking at this caring child, Concubine Shuhui couldn't help but reach out and hug him.
Niguzhu did not struggle and let her hug him.
Concubine Shuhui said to the Queen Mother: "The little princess is really considerate..."
When the Seventeenth Prince came to her, he was also four years old, almost his third birthday, but the Seventeenth Prince was very similar to his mother in character. He was a quiet little prince, not as lively as Niguzhu.
The Queen Mother smiled and said, "You are also 'a sweet potato'. Our little Seventeen is no worse than the others. He is a filial and smart child."
The Seventeenth Prince was also the son of a bannerman concubine, but his maternal family was a family of scholars among the bannermen, and his maternal grandfather was a governor during his lifetime.
The biological mother of the Seventeenth Prince, Lady Chen, was a late-born daughter who lost her father at a young age and was raised by her elder brother. Both the brother and sister had a scholarly air.
When raising her children, Concubine Chen brought some of them out.
Therefore, although the Seventeenth Prince is young, he is well-behaved and is now doing well in his studies in the study room.
Concubine Shuhui said, "I just hope that Xiaoshiqi will be stronger. No matter how good he is at studying, if he is not good at riding and shooting, he will not be worthy of the emperor's attention."
Niguzhu listened in, put away the Galaha, looked at the chubby little hands, and his face looked a little conflicted.
Concubine Duanshun saw it and asked softly, "What happened to the eldest princess?"
Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager and Concubine Shuhui also looked over.
"I can't count anymore..."
Niguzhu frowned and said, "Is Xiao Shiqi also an uncle? Why do I have so many uncles? Uncle Ten, Uncle Twelve, Uncle Thirteen, Uncle Fifteen, Uncle Eighteen, Uncle Nineteen..."
The child's questions stumped the three adults.
The Queen Mother called Niguzhu forward and said, "You, Khan Mafa, are a powerful emperor and a blessed emperor. You have many children, so your uncle is ranked as the 20th uncle and your aunt is ranked as the 17th aunt."
Niguzhu had forgotten what happened four months ago, but because Mrs. Yinbo mentioned it to Shushu several times, she knew that Aunt Seventeen and Uncle Nineteen had lived in her house and played with her.
She said, "I know Aunt Seventeen and Uncle Nineteen. They had birthdays last month and gave us birthday gifts, but I don't remember them. Will they remember me?"
The Queen Mother thought for a moment and said, "Your Seventeenth Aunt is two years older than you. She can already remember things and will remember you. Your Nineteenth Uncle is still a child, one year younger than you, so he probably has forgotten you too. But it's okay. When he grows up, he will remember you."
This time, the emperor moved to Changchun Garden and brought his concubines with him.
However, among the young princes and princesses, only the Eighteenth Prince and the Nineteenth Prince came with their biological mothers.
The Seventeenth Princess should have been moved to the palace after the New Year, but her birthday was at a young age, in the twelfth month, and she was still weak, so the Empress Dowager allowed her to move a year later. Now she lives with her biological mother in Chuxiu Palace.
Niguzhu nodded and said, "That's good. If you don't remember anything, you won't recognize me when you meet me later..."
