The royal descendants have to go to the study to study at the age of five, and since the weather is getting warmer, King Wei intends to send Brother Ping to the study.
Here he reported the matter to Emperor Jianping, while Feng Sheng was mentally preparing his son on the other end.
Before Feng Sheng asked Wei Wang, it is extremely hard to go to the study room, study early in the middle of the day, and go to school in the late hours. I can't go home after school, and I have kung fu and riding and archery classes.
That is to say, Brother Ping has to get up earlier than the rooster, and he can only go home after dark. A five-year-old child can only live for two days a day.
The fourth son of the Taizu made a joke before, and after going there for a few days, he didn't want to go anyway, crying and arguing with Qin Wangfei in the mansion, and after being forcibly sent away, he quarreled with the masters in the study.
A child who was only a little over five years old didn't know how to endure humiliation and study hard. Emperor Jianping became angry when he found out about this, and asked King Qin to take the child back.
Anyway, as far as Feng Sheng knew, the kid was beaten severely by King Qin after returning home.
Feng Sheng showed his interests to Brother Jue, and even used the fourth son of Qin Wang's family as an example.
"Although there is a mother, your father will not beat you, but you are the only child in our family. If you embarrass your father in the study room, it means that everyone in the Wei Palace will lose face. So you think about it , if we really can’t hold on, why don’t we wait a year before going.”
"How about that? Uncle Sixteen started school at the age of five."
"Actually, with the enlightenment that your father and I gave you before, even if you go a year later, you will not be worse than others. But if you really plan to go, you can't go back on your word, lest you be ashamed and thrown into the palace."
Feng Sheng has said these words back and forth several times, and Brother Jue is a little impatient.
"Mother, my son has already made his decision, so don't talk about it anymore."
Feng Sheng smiled: "That's fine, since you have already made up your mind, mother won't say any more, don't say that mother is a stepmother, and treat you badly, or go to grandma to complain."
Brother Yu became a little angry from embarrassment, "Is this the kind of person my son is in Mother's heart?"
Feng Sheng didn't say anything, but his eyes clearly said that you don't do this kind of thing too often
Brother Ping ran away in a hurry, Feng Sheng ordered someone to prepare things for him to go to the study. After finishing all this work, she leaned back and stroked her protruding belly.
King Wei walked in from the outside, dressed in formal princely attire, as if he had just returned from the palace.
The weather was too hot, and King Wei's collar was wet with sweat. Dewang took two young eunuchs to wipe his sweat and change his clothes. He changed into a cool silk summer shirt and his boots into open cloth shoes before he came. He sat down on the kang and asked, "Did the child make trouble with you?"
Feng Sheng glared at him: "You're only a little older, so what can you do to me?"
The servant girl brought herbal tea, and King Wei took a sip of it: "Where's Brother Ping?"
"I told you to run away in anger."
King Wei knew her nature, since her son grew up, this mother became more and more unscrupulous, she either bullied her son to the point of screaming, or coaxed him into a daze.
He felt that the reason why Brother Ping was getting more and more stupid was entirely because this mother was too deceitful, and he didn't have the consciousness of being a mother at all, which made him a little worried when he thought of his second child who was going to be born in the near future.
"What did your father say when you entered the palace, did you agree?"
"There is nothing to say or not to this kind of thing, but let's go through the motions, the father has already mentioned the matter of Brother Ping's entry into the study."
"Father said that because Little Sixteen wanted Brother Ping to play with him. People say that the emperor loves the eldest son, and the common people love the youngest son. Our father is the opposite."
Emperor Jianping really loved Shiliu, maybe Shiliu was the youngest. Since Shiliu was born, no child has been born in the palace for many years. But this is also normal, after all, Emperor Jianping is old, and has been pampering the imperial concubine in recent years.
"That's right. In the past, the emperor's favorite was the eldest son."
"It's not bad now."
The husband and wife said something that the servants could not understand, so it seemed that it was getting late, and it should be time for lunch.
In the hot summer, most people have no appetite, Feng Sheng is pregnant, although she hasn't hurt her mouth since she was pregnant, she is still sick.
She doesn't like anything to eat recently, Wei Wang is watching closely, and the kitchen is trying to make the princess eat more. In addition to frying a few refreshing dishes for lunch today, I also prepared cold noodles.
Shredded cucumbers, blanched bean sprouts, served with thin noodles that have been simmered in well water, topped with a layer of meat sauce, topped with vinegar, chili oil, and garlic, it tastes delicious no matter how you eat it.
As soon as the meal was served here, brother Jue came back from the outside, asked Taozhi to mix noodles for himself, and ate a bowl.
Taozhi is one of the newly promoted maidservants after Zhiqiu got married. Although Zhiqiu has always said that she would not marry, but when the marriage comes, nothing can stop her. She waits by Feng Sheng's side, and often deals with people around King Wei. You got it right.
Although Huo Wu is ranked fifth, he is actually the only one in the family. It is said that his mother raised four children before him, but none of them raised him, so she raised him, hence the name. Although the Huo family is not very rich, but the family is quite well-off. There is only such a son in the family, and he is the confidant of King Wei, so it goes without saying that life is easy.
Originally, after Zhiqiu got married, she stayed by Feng Sheng's side to serve her. Not only did she just get pregnant, she went home to raise her baby.
Brother Jue ate a bowl of noodles and asked Taozhi to mix another bowl for him. Taking advantage of the spare time, he did not forget to report Feng Sheng to King Wei.
"Your mother is also doing it for your own good. Look at the fourth son of your sixth uncle's family, who has completely embarrassed your sixth uncle." Wei Wang said calmly.
"Father, you are biased. Whatever mother says is right, my son is definitely not like him." The little boy became angry again, just as he finished his bowl of noodles, he wiped his mouth angrily, and ran away .
For ordinary people, children can't eat like this, so they have to let people follow to see, but this couple seems to be okay. Seeing that Feng Sheng had a good appetite today, King Wei gave her another dish with chopsticks.
"What's the matter with him these days, is he always making trouble?"
"Is it because it's too hot?"
"Let me say that boys grow up to be skins. There are no girls who are well-behaved. It would be nice if this child was a girl."
Uh, it's about the birth of a daughter again. Recently, the king of Wei can say anything about his daughter.
"It's not born yet, who knows if it's a daughter or a son."
Don't look at Brother Ping's good words, when he went to the study, he still couldn't get up early.
Fortunately, Feng Sheng had already ordered him, seeing that the little master hadn't been woken up, the maids and eunuchs beside Brother Ping took the initiative to pick him up from the bed, put on his clothes, wiped his face, and rinsed his mouth. Well, I didn't rinse my mouth. After all this was done, it was still dark outside.
Standing in the dark, Feng Sheng watched Brother Ping being carried into the carriage, and the accompanying eunuchs got into the carriage, and the carriage was escorted by several guards to leave the palace and go to the palace.
King Wei walked up to her and closed the cloak around her.
"Go back to sleep for a while."
Feng Sheng answered irrelevantly: "You were also like this back then?"
The king of Wei nodded, "You should pay as much as you enjoy the honor. Don't you think that the children of dragons and phoenixes don't have to do anything and just wait to enjoy it?"
Really thought so, Feng Sheng smiled dryly in his heart and didn't speak.
"Okay, don't worry about him, as the king's son, he is no worse than others."
Feng Sheng is not afraid of this, but feels that it is too hard, although this kind of hard work is necessary, there is no such thing as something for nothing in the world, and she did not suffer less in order to study.
But knowing and understanding are two different things. It hurts the child's body and hurts the mother's heart. This is probably something that mothers all over the world can't escape.
On the other side, in fact, brother Ping has already woken up after all this tossing, but he is still in a daze.
The car was still going on the road, and the eunuch Da Dezi who served him was whispering in his ear.
We will soon arrive at the palace, the young master hasn't had breakfast yet, if we don't take advantage of this time to eat something, we won't be able to eat later when we go to the study, and the prince and concubine are all up today, so I send him out. Anyway, Brother Ping had never seen anyone as nagging as Dade Zi, but it was effective, and all his drowsiness was disturbed.
Seeing the little master sitting up, Da Dezi hurriedly winked at the little eunuch next to him.
The things in the car are all ready, and all the things that may be used are brought. The little eunuch poured hot water from Mrs. Tang and wiped Brother Ping's face to wake him up from sleepiness. Take out breakfast.
"Little master, you can eat as much as you want."
Brother Ping, who has always had a good appetite, lacks interest, and is really disturbed and sleepy and loses his appetite.
"You are not full right now, so you will have a snack in the middle of the study. It will not be until noon. The princess ordered someone to prepare millet pumpkin porridge, golden jujube cake, sesame milk roll, and honey cake milk roll , and your favorite fried tripe with green sprouts... "
The rest of the words were lost to brother Jue.
However, he also ate some breakfast casually as Da Dezi wished, and when the breakfast was collected, the carriage just arrived in front of the palace gate.
At this time, Dongfang had just turned pale, anyway, brother Jue hadn't entered the palace so early.
It's not lonely along the way. As the princes grow up, there are many children in each house. The bottom line is to start with three or five. Wei Wang's family has only one son, which is really rare.
Moreover, the study room is not only for the princes and grandchildren to study, but also for the descendants of the royal relatives and important ministers. The number of places broke the head.
Brother Yu is not familiar with these people. Feng Sheng is not a person who likes to go out to socialize, so it is natural to take him out less often. The playmate he often plays with is Uncle Sixteen. Even if he knows other people, it is through The sixteen princes knew each other.
Before reaching the Qianqing Gate, Brother Ping saw two figures, one big and one small, walking towards it from a distance.
The smaller figure was in the front, about his height, wearing a prince's uniform, with red lips and white teeth, handsome appearance, a pair of black and bright eyes, except for a little thinner, there was nothing wrong with it.
It was the sixteenth prince.
Next to him was his personal eunuch Xiao Wangzi.
"Brother Ping, you are finally here. I got up early today and waited for you here."
"Uncle Sixteen."
"Let's go, let me lead you in, you are the youngest here, and I will protect you so that they won't bully you."
"Whoever dares to bully me, I'll beat him." Brother Ping said, clenching his fists.
This is also what Wei Wang and Feng Sheng couldn't figure out the most. When he was young, Brother Ping was extremely smart, but the older he got, the more he seemed a little stunned. People use their brains but not their hands, but this kid only likes to use his hands and doesn't like to use his brain.
But Brother Ping was still young, so they didn't take it too seriously.
"With Uncle Sixteen around, how could someone bully you. Come on, follow me in."
