Chapter 799 (1/2)

After entering the CIREN palace, the fifth Princess and the fifth master saluted and then retired.

Kangxi knelt directly in front of the Empress Dowager's couch, regardless of the swelling and pain on his feet.

After a pair of battlefield training, full of calluses of hands, the Empress Dowager's hand in the palm.

”Huang e Niang, my son has come to see you.”

”Emperor...” the Empress Dowager held Kangxi back.

She could hear the voice and feel Kangxi's hand.

However, she could only lie on the silk pillow inlaid with money python, unable to move.

Even if she wanted to turn her head and take a look at Kangxi, her heart was more than her strength.

A wrinkled face, waxy yellow.

Even wearing a warm hat can't cover the white silk on the temples.

Dry lips, the same color as the face.

Seeing Kangxi's eyes scarlet, the palm of his hand trembled slightly: ”Huang e Niang, son is in.”

In his eyes, besides scarlet, there was a glimmer of joy.

A few days ago, the Empress Dowager was in a coma and could not speak.

Today, she was able to name him and speak.

The Empress Dowager noticed Kangxi's shaking hand and a smile was drawn from the corner of her mouth: ”the AI family is not afraid. What are you shaking? Even if the AI family is gone, you are still the emperor of the Qing Dynasty...”

”no...” Kangxi shook her head, ”you have not been ill before, but you will get better this time. Look, you can talk to me.”

”My family's illness... My family knows clearly... This time, I'm afraid it's no good...”

Kangxi held his lips and wanted to say something to comfort him.

But his throat was itchy and he didn't interrupt the Empress Dowager.

”When I was young, the AI family was not allowed to be spoiled, and failed to open branches and scatter leaves for the royal family, but the AI family never regretted.” The Empress Dowager's voice was weak and powerless. Every time she said a word, she had to slow down for several times, ”because... The AI family has a son like you, which is more filial than your own son, so there is no regret...”

Kangxi bit the back alveolar and said with red eyes, ”but I am not a good father.”

In the past how iron bloodless emperor, in front of this legitimate mother, finally talked about the helpless in the heart.

His voice was not as dignified as before, but full of vicissitudes and old age.

The imperial education system of Qing Dynasty was strict, so he could not let his sons do nothing.

Is that not a joke for the world and will be recorded in history.

Therefore, the brothers practice in winter and summer.

At that time, the rest system had not been improved. They only took five days off a year, only once or twice a day, and each time could not exceed a quarter of an hour.

The subjects studied are all textbooks compiled by advanced Confucianism and ancestors.

In addition to knowing Manchu, Mongolian and Chinese, we also need to know some Uyghur and Tibetan.

In recent years, several foreign languages have been added and taught by missionaries.

Calligraphy and painting, horse riding and archery, including swimming, should also be learned.

The purpose is to make them develop morally, intellectually and physically.

This is why the Qing emperors were diligent.

Because of the education they received when they were young, they knew that everything was hard won.

But... This kind of education, will cause each elder brother to be quite outstanding.

So, the question comes.

”Alas...” the Empress Dowager sighed, ”most of everyone's talent and personality are born in their bones. Sometimes... If you can teach them to become talents, you can't teach them to be human beings...”

Kangxi: ”my son is not a good husband either.”
