[Qing Chuan] The Empress Dowager Raising Cubs Daily

The children were still full of doubts.

Qiqige laughed back angrily, she turned her head and told the palace servants: "Take Ai's family and others to see the female beast."

The palace man responded: "The servants are already ready."

A group of people rushed forward, but after walking a few steps, Qiqige became a little suspicious.Obviously, the residence of the mother beast and its cubs should be in the next yard, but the palace people led a group of people away from the iron-eating beast garden, and gradually walked towards a building not far away.

Following the guidance of the palace staff, she walked up to the high platform, and the square below appeared in front of Qiqige.Qiqige paused, looked around in astonishment, and her shocked eyes finally fell on the iron cage placed in the center.

There was a buzzing sound in the cage.

Xiong Bao's brother, another cub of the iron-eating beast was sitting in it, yelling restlessly, changing its posture from time to time, corresponding to the roar from under the high platform, Qiqige moved in three steps. He rushed forward in two steps, and was shocked to find that the other female beast, which he hadn't seen, was also locked in the iron cage—the iron cage was placed under the high platform!

Qiqige turned around abruptly.

Her complexion was as black as the bottom of a pot, and she shouted angrily: "What's going on? Aijia didn't let you keep bears... iron-eating beasts in such a place?"

The palace man looked bewildered and puzzled.

And the queen on the side looked around, her brows were tightly locked: "Wait...this, can't it be...the Colosseum!?"

Qiqige's eyes widened: "What!?"

The palace man wiped off his cold sweat, and realized the problem belatedly.He stammered and replied: "Reporting to the empress dowager, reporting to the empress empress, didn't you mean... didn't you mean that the iron-eating beast should show its ferocious... ferocious nature?"

Qiqige was stunned: "..."

The queen was also stunned by the divine operation of the palace man, and the only sound left in the Colosseum was the humming of the mother beast and her cubs.

The cold sweat of the palace people dripped down.

In fact, they still haven't figured out what the empress dowager is angry about?The chief steward also wanted to explain: "Reporting to the Empress Dowager, the ferocity of the beasts in the palace test is all obtained from fighting beasts..."

Or more than just testing.

Except for some rare and precious animals that will be kept in the zoo for the appreciation of the royal family members, many of them, such as tigers, leopards, bears and wolves, will be used for fighting animals, or they will be used as prey in hunting.

Hunting is a traditional activity of the Eight Banners, and Qiqige has nothing to say.However, it was the first time Qiqige had heard about fighting beasts. She was completely stunned, and the first sentence she came to her senses was: "What are you doing in a daze? Why don't you put the mother beast and the cubs together?" Put the cub back in the yard?"

If future generations hear that you use pandas to fight beasts, every mouthful of saliva from each of you will drown you.

The palace people felt a chill.

They obediently followed the Queen Mother's orders, and a group of elder brothers were stunned for a while. Although they didn't know what happened, the beasts still understood.

Thinking about the cute beast just now, and thinking about the cute and lovely Xiong Bao in the palace, the children looked at the palace people with shock and horror in their eyes, and Yinzhen even exclaimed: "How could such a cute eater be so cute?" Can iron beasts even handle it!?"

Palace people: ...

They were so miserable that the palace man who was in charge of taking care of the female beast didn't think the iron-eating beast was cute at all.The palace man said weakly: "The iron-eating beast is really fierce."

But under the evidence, no one believed it.

Looking back, Qiqige looked through the past materials of the zoo, and she was even more shocked: "So many rare and rare animals, you actually use them to fight beasts?"

Kangxi has been very busy recently.He was dizzy and had just been called to the Compassion Ning Palace, but he was greeted with a slap in the face as soon as he entered the door.He couldn't figure it out, looked at the queen blankly, and tentatively replied: "...is it?"

"Yes, yes, yes, it's a head!" Qiqige started to pluck the whisk in Liang Jiugong's hand, but this time Liang Jiugong's reaction was very sensitive, and he caught it?Qiqige and Liang Jiugong looked at each other in embarrassment, then Qiqige withdrew her hand, rolled up the scroll expressionlessly, and slammed it on the table: "They are all rare and rare animals in the world, so you can't create a garden for people. To visit, it is better to charge some ticket money than fighting beasts?"

"Isn't this... a competition for the interests of the people?"

"How can this be regarded as competing with the people for profit? The palace people in the animal garden don't spend money to take care of animals? Animals don't need money for food and shelter? They don't need money for sick treatment?" Qiqige explained earnestly, "This can also demonstrate the royal authority and the Qing Dynasty. Majestic. In addition, you can also set up a botanical garden. Aijia heard that people in Yunnan and other places often died of eating fungus, and people near the capital were poisoned by eating wild fruits. Instead, you can collect all kinds of flowers and plants, and publicize the types and dangers of flowers and plants for the people. "

"In addition, we can build farmland and sericulture pavilions to introduce the best methods of raising sericulture, rice, wheat, corn, and even sweet potatoes. Wouldn't it be fun?"

In the early years of Kangxi, there were continuous wars, and the people were in poverty, and the court was also in distress.Now, as time has entered the 25th year of Kangxi, coupled with the vigorous addition of corn and sweet potatoes, the people have no worries about food and drink, and life is prosperous, and the tax revenue of the court has also increased year after year, making them quite wealthy.

Ningshou Palace was built and Tsinghua Garden was repaired.

Plus repairing a zoo...it doesn't seem like a big deal...is it?

Qiqige looked at Kangxi viciously.

Kangxi was not very interested in the empress dowager's zoo, but he was quite moved by the proposal of the botanical garden and sericulture hall.Soon he nodded with a smile, and agreed to the matter: "I will let the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs think about it later."

Qiqige cheered.

Seeing the joyful appearance of the Queen's Lady, Kangxi smiled and thought about it again—it is still necessary to urge the House of Internal Affairs to serve some snacks and toss around a lot.

Zoo, Botanical Garden and Sericulture Pavilion.

As soon as the three projects came out, the Construction Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs also collectively stopped cooking.Kangxi didn't make things difficult for them, and ordered Fengchenyuan and even the Manufacturing Office to coordinate with them. This matter should be handed over to Prince Yu Fuquan.

Fuquan was very happy.

Over the years, he was either assigned to work in the imperial court, or faced with all kinds of gossip disputes in the clan and Eight Banners every day, or he was confronted with a bunch of young and middle-aged sons, and he was given a splitting headache every day.

Today's Fuquan looks at these infrastructure projects... that is so touching!Look at the present day, every day, except dealing with the officials of the Ministry of Industry, the construction department, Fengchenyuan and the construction office, the rest of the time only needs to face blueprints, various animals, bricks and the like, how comfortable the small days are Just how comfortable it is.

Fuquan was beaming with joy and high spirits.

Another one who has a more relaxed life is Qi Qige. Apart from teasing Xiong Bao every day, she is just being a vicious Party A and criticizing various projects, and her life is extremely comfortable.

Time passed smoothly, and it was the end of the 26th year of Kangxi in a blink of an eye.Ningshou Palace has been repaired. Kangxi originally chose an auspicious day to invite the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager to move to the palace. Unexpectedly, the Empress Dowager fell ill with a cold before the date of relocation.

The empress dowager is old, and it is common for her to be sick.The Compassion Ning Palace was working in an orderly manner, even Qiqige was very calm.When she was taking care of the Empress Dowager herself, Qi Qige laughed and said, "Your ministers have said that you should move in the spring. You still have to be brave. Look? You'll get sick after a little cleaning!" The Empress Dowager Having lived in the Compassionate Ning Palace for decades, every place is full of her memories.Thinking about the upcoming move, she also started preparations a month in advance, taking out the utensils one by one, wiping them clean, looking at them again, and thinking about the past days.

The things that have been preserved for decades are already an astronomical figure. In addition, the Empress Dowager is unwilling to hand over to others for sorting, so that she is exhausted all her life.

Qiqige couldn't help talking about it.

The Empress Dowager frowned, held the soup in both hands and drank it in one gulp: "Okay, okay, Aijia is finished!"

You'd better leave now.

Qiqige didn't see what the empress dowager meant, she smiled and handed over another plate of toffee, the empress dowager looked at the toffee, then snorted coldly: "Ai's family is not Yinyuyin, after drinking the medicine You have to eat some candy."

What is the difference between your temper and that of a child?

Qiqige dared to think the above sentence in her heart, but she dared not say it on the face.She explained with a smile: "Mother Huang, this is different from ordinary toffee. It also has fruit filling inside. It tastes great."

"is it?"

"Try it, it's delicious!"

"What's so delicious about the fruit sandwich..."

"Think about how uncomfortable the taste of the medicine is in your mouth, shall we have a candy?" Qiqige pushed the tray forward again, urging again.

The empress dowager can't stand in the way of love.

Finally she twisted one, put it in her mouth and tasted it.The outer layer is sweet toffee. After chewing hard, what comes out is... chocolate sandwich?The empress dowager blinked in surprise: "Oh? This thing... Aijia remembers that it's gone?"

"The ships from overseas came back and brought back a lot of cocoa beans." Qiqige laughed, "It's just that nine out of ten of the saplings died, and I don't know if the rest can be planted alive."

The overseas ships brought back not only cocoa beans, but also a lot of news about overseas.The European countries that occupied the New World continent, the conquered African continent and the foreigners who became slaves everywhere, and all kinds of things that have never been seen before.

Because of this matter, Kangxi didn't have time to pass the New Year this year.

When Qiqige learned some news from the princes Yinreng and Yinti who were also busy, she was both happy and excited.She talked happily, until she saw the Empress Dowager yawning, then she hurriedly got up to leave.

The weather suddenly cooled down.

Qiqige felt a little cold when she walked into the main hall, and when she raised the thick curtain, she found that snowflakes had fallen outside at some point.She sneezed several times in a row, tears welled up.

Qiqige rubbed her eyes, the circles of her eyes were a little reddish.

At this moment, she heard the sound of footsteps from far to near, Qi Qige raised her eyes and saw Yin Reng running towards her, with a look of panic and panic on her face.

"Yinfeng?"

"Emperor, Mama?" Yinfeng stopped, subconsciously saying hello.Standing up, he raised his head, just in time to see the blush in the corner of Qiqige's eyes.

Huang Mama seemed to cry just now.

There was a buzzing sound in Yinrong's mind, and he felt his world spinning.His face was bloodless, he opened his mouth but didn't know what to say, he hurriedly walked towards the inside.

What came to the face was a strong smell of medicine.

The palace people were quiet, and they were all cautious in their gestures.

Everything seems to be verified——

Yinfeng's heart was tightly locked into a ball, and even the blood on his lips gradually faded.

Yinfeng's reaction was weird.

Qiqige who was following behind him frowned, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.She stretched out her hand to hold Yinreng who wanted to go in: "Yinreng? What's wrong with you? You don't look well? Are you sick?"

Yinfeng woke up suddenly.

He managed to adjust his expression: "Grandson didn't, grandson, grandson just had some dreams...some want to see Mama Ukuma. How is Mama Ukuma?"

Qiqige smiled and said, "The fever has subsided this morning."

She stretched out her hand and lifted the curtain: "I just fell asleep, if you come in, please be quiet... Queen Mother?"

The Empress Dowager, who had yawned several times to see off the guests just now, was now leaning on the pillow, flipping through the books with great interest.What attracted Qiqige the most was the tray next to it. Most of the toffee that was originally piled up was gone, and even the bitter soup and medicine smell in the air also brought a faint sweetness and milky taste.

Qiqige smiled softly: "Emperor Niang?"

The empress dowager who disliked Qiqige's long-windedness, pretended to be sleepy and threw her out: ...

She silently folded the books and put them aside.

The Empress Dowager coughed: "Can Aijia... explain?"
