Chapter 2017: Keep Smart
The Queen Mother saw the Fifth Prince's dilemma and came to his rescue, saying to Niguzhu: "The tiger is the king of beasts. It is proud and won't let anyone ride it. You can go and ride a horse."
Niguzhu was a child who was easily satisfied. He nodded immediately and said, "Then let's ride a horse. It's more beautiful when riding a horse..."
When she came here a few days ago, she followed Guidan on horseback, but she only rode for a quarter of an hour.
After we left the city, it was dusty and we got back into the carriage.
"Then let the horses run on the meadows instead of on the roads, where there is a lot of dust and sand in their mouths..."
Niguzhu did not forget to make a request.
The Fifth Prince breathed a sigh of relief and nodded quickly, saying, "Okay, then Uncle Wu will take you to the field to race horses..."
The Queen Mother left some food for us.
Niguzhu pointed out his favorite elephant-eye buns to Tana.
"They all have a bag of meat, they are delicious..."
As he spoke, he asked someone to bring a bun to Tana.
Tana ate it and nodded, saying it was delicious.
It’s just that she prefers sweeter cakes, but she didn’t dare say it.
It was Guaerjia who was there and gave her a piece of honey and red date cake.
After lunch, the Queen Mother said, "You guys go and do your work first, and come back when you have time."
The Fifth Prince stood up and responded.
Before he brought Tana out, he was thinking of sending his eldest daughter over to entertain the old lady, but after seeing how his eldest daughter acted, he gave up the idea.
Sending a child like this to the Empress Dowager is not filial piety but unfilial behavior, and will cause the Empress Dowager to worry about it.
The Fifth Prince thought so and looked at his eldest niece with even more affection.
Fortunately, Niguzhu was a lively and lovely child. With her by the side of the Royal Grandmother, the old lady could be happier.
Guaerjia glanced at Niguzhu and sincerely felt that Mrs. Fu was unwise.
The fifth princess was married off in the 39th year, and the empress dowager's side became deserted.
At that time, Tana was already three years old. After she was well educated, she was sent to the Queen Mother to be her carefree daughter.
It is hard to say whether Fu Jin has bad intentions, but she definitely has selfish motives.
If Tana was kept by the Queen Mother, Prince Hongsheng's status would also rise.
When the Fifth Prince took Guaerjia and Tana away from the Empress Dowager's Palace, Nanny Bai was ordered to come out to see them off, holding a lunch box with four plates of sweet and savory cakes in it.
Niguzhu watched the new girl leave and whispered to the Queen Mother, "No wonder she is so thin. She only ate two steamed buns and barely ate a bite of food."
If it were her, she would eat half a plate of elephant eye buns.
The Queen Mother nodded and said, "Yes, Niguzhu must eat well and grow tall in the future."
Niguzhu said proudly with her bulging belly, "Yes, yes, my mama said that good children should eat by themselves and cannot be coaxed to eat. Besides, I don't need Mama Wuku to coax me. The buns here are delicious. I know that Mama Wuku loves me, so she prepared these delicious foods for me..."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
The Queen Mother was delighted to hear this. Nanny Bai happened to be sending someone back, so she ordered, "The people in the pastry room have worked hard these past few days. Our eldest princess eats well, so give her a monthly salary as a reward."
The old lady did give special instructions.
I wanted to make my great-granddaughter happy, and I also wanted to keep her for a few more days.
Such a huge palace would be different with or without children.
I felt that things were suddenly getting lively around me, and the days were no longer so hard to endure.
In addition, because she was taken care of by her little great-granddaughter, the empress dowager ate a few more bites of food and took a walk to help digest the food. She also slept very well in the past two days, and her complexion also improved.
Nanny Bai agreed with a smile and went downstairs to distribute the rewards.
Niguzhu smiled and looked at the Queen Mother and said, "Mother Wuku, should I be rewarded as well?"
The Queen Mother shook her head and said, "No, you are still young, Mother Wuku will give you the reward."
Niguzhu nodded and said, "If you don't have enough pocket money, tell me. I have kept all my New Year's money. I have two boxes full of money."
The queen mother touched Niguzhu's back and said, "Mother Wuku is not short of money, keep your money for yourself!"
Niguzhu shook his head and said, "You can't spend it all yourself. You still have to save it."
The Queen Mother was a little surprised and asked, "Do you want to buy something?"
She could see that Shushu was a "strict mother" and the Ninth Prince was not in charge of the family, so she was afraid that the two would be too strict with their children.
Niguzhu said: "My father said that this is called responsibility. Parents should think about helping their children to start a family; children should also think about supporting their parents and elders. I will save this money to support my father, my mother, my mother and my mother Wuku..."
Although she ranked herself fourth, the Queen Mother knew that these were the child's true words.
She smiled and said, "Nikuzhu is such a good and filial child."
Niguzhu smiled and said, "Because I am the child of my father and mother. My mother said that my father and mother are also good and filial children."
I feel sleepy after eating.
But today the Queen Mother felt less sleepy.
After coaxing Niguzhu to sleep, the Queen Mother strolled out to the outer room.
Aunt Bai served a bowl of barley tea.
The Queen Mother took the drink and said to Nanny Bai, "Guaerjia is a sensible person. It's time for Old Fifth to live in peace."
Nanny Bai said, "The Fifth Master is a blessed man. Even if he had some troubles in the past, they are all over now. Your Majesty, don't worry."
"That's it. We can't mess around anymore, or else we'll just be laughed at..."
The Queen Mother said.
Having a noble lady from the Guwalja clan as a concubine was not a good thing for either the Fifth Lady or Hongsheng and his sister.
The Fifth Prince is soft-hearted. He feels pity for his eldest son and daughter, as well as his legitimate son who is ill. But no one can predict what will happen if he has a healthy concubine with a decent family background in the future.
The Queen Mother sighed and said, "I just hope that Guaerjia can continue to be so smart and not make any mistakes..."
When the Fifth Prince was arranged to be married, the Empress Dowager was not happy about it. She felt that the Fifth Prince was of the lowest social status and had a small dowry, and she was afraid that the Fifth Prince would be wronged.
Later, he promoted the Fifth Lady in the hope that they would live in harmony.
Before, the two of them had a legitimate son and thought that their future life would be smooth sailing. Who would have thought that it would be like a dream.
I actually don't know whether it is better to have that child or not.
If she didn't have a legitimate son, the Fifth Lady would not have the confidence and would not have gotten into such a big disaster.
Nanny Bai said, "Fifth Master is just soft-hearted, not stupid. He will teach you well."
As the master and servant talked like this, they both knew that there were hidden dangers in the Fifth Prince's Mansion.
Women are weak, but mothers are strong.
Before she had a child, Guaerjia was content to be a concubine; after she had a child, how could she not have other thoughts?
This is the heart of the people.
Even the Queen Mother couldn't say for sure whether she would favor Guaerjia's children in the future.
Such a smart woman will definitely give birth to smart children.
Hongsheng's clumsiness is well known.
Although the Fifth Lady is a little ignorant of the ways of the world, it is not a fool for Mafa to be able to become a minister.
The Queen Mother originally hoped that the Second Prince would be a smart child...
*
The head room and the back room.
Guaerjia changed her clothes and lay down on the kang.
Her nurse asked, "Master, is it time to go to the fifth residence?"
Guaerjia nodded and said, "Please ask Madam to go there on my behalf and tell her that I want to accompany Gege to pay my respects to Duoluo Gege tomorrow morning and ask if it is convenient for Ninth Lady."
The wet nurse agreed and did not go empty-handed. Instead, she filled a basket with mulberries that she brought back from the city yesterday, and then took a little maid with her and went to the fifth residence.
Shushu, the Tenth Lady is here.
The Tenth Lady knew that there were two more children here and was afraid that Shushu couldn't take care of them, so she came over to help.
Seeing that the Third Princess's speech and movements were not very smooth, but she was able to remember the contents of the literacy cards, the Tenth Lady said, "She is a fast learner. Can she be sent to the backyard to study with me?"
As long as you don't treat San Gege as a five-year-old child, but as a two or three-year-old child, and be more patient with her, she will be easy to teach.
Now, the "Bu Ge'er" from the Tenth Lady's family is also attending the class.
Regardless of whether I can understand it or not, I have learned to be obedient.
When facing your parents, you don’t always say “no, no, no”. Occasionally, you will keep silent and wait for you to explain it again, or shake your head and say “I don’t understand”.
Shu Shu said, "It's not right to act on your own. Let's wait until Sister-in-law Qi comes over in a few days."
Otherwise, it would seem like she was impatient to take care of her niece.
The Tenth Lady said, "I heard that the Fifth Uncle also brought a princess here, and there is another child..."
As he was speaking, Cui Baisui came in to deliver a message.
"Madam, the head of the Guaerjia sect has sent a nanny over to wait in front..."
Shu Shu was a little surprised and said, "Bring it here."
She thought about sending Baiguo over to deliver the steamed buns yesterday, and guessed that it was a return gift or a request for help with something.
After all, I said before that if the kitchen is not complete, just send someone over.
After a while, the wet nurse followed Cui Baisui in.
She had followed Guaerjia into the palace to pay respects, and had also met the wives of the princes.
Seeing that she was a neat and tidy woman, she knelt down to greet her when she came in. Shushu motioned Baiguo to help her.
"You're welcome, Mammy..."
Shushu was also a bit polite.
It is unclear whether the concubine is a wife or a concubine.
You should know that before Kangxi added the system of examination and ennoblement for the royal family, the children born to concubines were always considered legitimate and were granted titles according to the legitimate system.
After the system of examination and appointment was introduced, the status of children of concubines was not immediately lowered.
It was in recent years that the Yellow Belt population had too many illegitimate children, and the court restricted high titles, stipulating that the titles of concubines' children should be two levels lower than those of legitimate children, which widened the gap.
This is why the emperor's grandson born to Li of Yuqing Palace is so proud and complacent.
Neither Akdun nor Hongxi were bastards.
The concubine wears a crown and belt.
The relationship between Guaerjia and Shushu cannot be simply a matter of seniority, there is also the issue of age.
A younger sister-in-law is also a sister-in-law.
The wet nurse explained her purpose.
"I know that Duoluo Gege is being raised in Fu Jin's place and is Gege's elder. Tomorrow, our Fu Jin wants to accompany Gege to pay her respects to Duoluo Gege. I wonder if it is convenient for her."
Shushu knew that even if Guaerjia didn't find an excuse to come over, she would have to find an excuse to go over.
The Fifth Prince and the Ninth Prince are brothers. If the women of the two families did not interact with each other, there would inevitably be speculation from outside.
Not to mention that Guaerjia was a concubine, even if she was just a princess, as long as she represented the women of the Fifth Prince's Mansion, Shushu would inevitably have to meet her.
Shu Shu immediately said, "We are all family, there is no inconvenience, just tell your wife to come over."
The wet nurse just came to deliver a message, but now that she saw there were guests, she took her leave.
Shushu asked Baiguo to deliver the tea bags and sent the person out.
The Tenth Lady was curious and asked Shushu, "What does the eldest princess call the county lady when she sees her?"
Shushu said: "According to the rules, you should call her 'Auntie'."
The Tenth Lady said, "Then Fengsheng and the others will suffer a loss, right?"
Shu Shu said: "Everyone has his own opinion..."
There is nothing we can do about this.
In ordinary families, relatives are considered in terms of distance; in the case of the royal family, relatives are definitely considered first...
