Chengye took Yunshang and went straight to the innermost stone room. The stone room was a martial arts arena, with two rows of weapons neatly placed on both sides, and a large open space in the middle. Now standing on the large open space A group of little radish heads are practicing boxing with the front guard.
After all, they were still young, and it was difficult to concentrate. When they found Yunshang and the others standing outside, some people couldn't help turning their heads to look this way.
Chengye pulled Yunshang's clothes, and when Yunshang bent down, Chengye lowered his voice and said: "Mother, they don't practice as well as me, I'll show you how to practice."
"Okay, then I have to take a closer look."
As soon as Yunshang finished speaking, Chengye quickly ran to the back of the team and stood up, set up his posture seriously, and began to practice with everyone.
Chengye is still young, and his movements are not standardized, and there is no strength between his fists and feet, but he follows the movements strictly and earnestly.
Yun Shang looked at Chengye with a smile for a while, and then turned to the other children in the martial arts arena.
"The children here seem to be about the same size as Chengye? They don't look that big."
Luo Qingyan nodded: "The oldest one is only about four years old. I specially told the dark guard to find a child of this size. It's better to be younger. He's not old enough to remember. If you put anything into his mind, he will Remember what, so that you will be more loyal when you teach from childhood to adulthood.”
"And there is not much difference in age between Chengye and Chengye, so we can talk with Chengye."
Yun Chang hummed, looking at this group of little children, but felt a little unbearable.
Luo Qingyan seemed to know what she was thinking, and his eyes quietly fell on the group of children: "Do you see that these children are all about the same size as Chengye? There are even several who are slightly shorter than Chengye."
"Huh?" Yun Chang didn't understand why he mentioned this, but nodded: "It's almost the same."
"But these children are actually older than Chengye. The oldest is almost four years old, and the youngest is almost three years old. These children are orphans without father and mother, wandering around, and some rely on the relief of neighbors to barely eat. They are full and clothed, but they also eat some wild vegetables. Some of them live by begging, and when they are full and hungry, when they are found by the dark guards, they are skinny and have no meat."
"In the past few months until I was taken to the palace, I had enough to eat, and because I was practicing martial arts, I grew up a little bit, but even so, it basically doesn't look much higher than Chengye."
"If they hadn't been brought into the palace, they might have starved to death. For them, being able to come here is also their blessing."
Yun Chang nodded, knowing that Luo Qingyan was telling the truth, and felt more and more pitiful for these children.
"That's good, at least these children won't be treated badly in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation."
As Yunshang spoke, she saw Chengye turned his head and looked at her, as if to make sure she was looking at him.
Yun Shang quickly waved at Chengye with a smile on her face.
"This kid." Luo smiled lightly and shook his head: "Usually when you are not around, you are much more serious, but now that you are here, you are coy, always wanting to be coquettish with you."
"Kids."
Luo Yan smiled lightly, but didn't make a sound.
Yun Chang watched Chengye finish boxing practice, and then went to the nearby stone room to learn characters. After learning five characters in one class, they went to another stone room to play together.
There are all kinds of toys in the stone room, all of which are half-grown children, and they naturally have no resistance to these things.
At the beginning, the other children were quite afraid of Yunshang and Luo Qingyan.
Just after a while, they started to make noise and play.
Such a big child is just at the age when he is ignorant of the governor, but only obeys his heart. After a while, the room is full of laughter, crying and shouting.
"Mine! It's mine!"
"You are not allowed to play!"
There are too many children, and within a short time, there are several incidents of fighting for snatching toys.
At first, because Yunshang was there, Chengye took a Jiulianhuan and solved it there. It's just that even an adult would have to spend a lot of effort to untie that thing, let alone such a half-grown child.
Chengye lost interest after a while, looked around for a while, and saw that the little wooden horse he had always liked was occupied by a child, so he rushed over to try to grab it, and after a while, the two began to wrestle.
Yun Chang couldn't help but hold her forehead, but there was a smile on her face.
Luo Qingyan looked at the battle situation over there, and deliberately raised his eyebrows: "Chengye seems to be at a disadvantage, why don't you go to help?"
Yunshang glanced at Luo Qingyan, and sneered: "What did I help in the past? They naturally have their own solutions to children's affairs, why should adults intervene? Is it possible that I am trying to protect you in your heart? Is your own child an unreasonable person?"
Luo softly clicked his tongue, but neither denied nor admitted it.
Yun Shang couldn't help laughing by herself: "For children, fighting is also a way of exchanging feelings. And other children are still young now, and they don't know what the prince is like. There are not so many twists and turns. It is also a blessing for Chengye to have such a playmate."
At least she never had such a childhood.
Luo Qingyan also laughed, and nodded slightly.
After watching Chengye play in the stone room for more than half a day, Yunshang brought Chengye back to the East Palace, and the family of three had dinner together in the East Palace.
Chengye had been making a fuss all day, and felt a little sleepy after eating.
Seeing that his eyes were about to close, Yun Chang smiled even more intensely, and only asked the palace servants to take him down to take a shower and wash, and after tidying up and putting him on the bed, he fell asleep.
Yun Chang stood by the bed for a while, reached out to tuck the corner of the quilt for him, and then stood up.
Luo Qingyan was waiting for Yunshang in the outer hall, and seeing Yunshang coming out, the two of them left the East Palace together.
Summer has gradually entered, and the nights in early summer are still extremely cool. You can only hear the calls of crickets one after another, and occasionally you can see one or two fireflies flying by.
The two of them didn't speak, and after walking for a while, Yunshang turned to look at Luo Qingyan: "Your Majesty has been with my concubine and Chengye for a long time, are you going to the Tai Chi Hall to deal with the accumulated political affairs?"
Luo Qingyan raised his eyebrows: "Those things can be dealt with at any time. I will accompany you back to Weiyang Palace. There are more important things to do."
"Huh? Something more important?" Yun Shang frowned slightly: "Is there anything important to discuss with me?"
"Things are important matters, but not just negotiations."
"what is that?"
Luo Qingyan saw Yunshang's blank face, and the smile in his eyes grew stronger: "Well, of course, serving the empress to bed has enhanced the relationship between the empress and empress. This is... a major event related to Jiangshan Sheji."
