Ever since Feng Sheng knew that the King of Wei was taking care of her body, she never thought that she would be able to conceive in a short time.
The medicine is taken at regular intervals, and the medicated diet is not taken every day, which makes her health much better now than before. In the past, my hands and feet were cold every winter, and I was particularly afraid of the cold. Now I am still afraid of the cold, but my hands and feet are no longer as cold as stones, and my complexion is much better than before.
Because there is no such thing in her heart, and she used to have her menstruation often late, sometimes once every two or three months, and at that time she was dressed as a man, but she felt that it would be better if she didn't come, and she didn't care about it over time. So it was too late this time, and she didn't take it to heart, and the days went on as usual, and it was when Doctor Wang came to ask her for a safe pulse that she diagnosed an abnormality.
The days are still short, and the imperial doctor Wang is not sure. The time to check the pulse is much longer than usual. It is so long that Feng Sheng starts to think about the bad things, and Zhi Qiu starts to worry. Wei Wang's face is dark, and the old man is hesitant. Said it might be happy.
possible
This kind of ambiguous statement was unacceptable to the king of Wei. He immediately ordered Xiao Anzi to let him enter the palace to report to the imperial concubine Li, and then invited some imperial doctors to come.
Seeing that he was making such a fuss, Feng Sheng hurriedly stopped him and said: "The matter has not been confirmed yet, if you make such a big fuss, it would be a waste of people's jokes. Besides, even the doctor Wang is not sure, I am afraid that the time is really too short, it is better to wait period of time."
What Feng Sheng said was quite reasonable, and even though King Wei was not afraid of being judged by others, he knew that Feng Sheng cared about it, even though she usually seemed like a normal person, if she didn't care about Sun Wencheng's plan back then, she wouldn't have succeeded , so I agreed with her statement, and I will look at it in a few days.
Having said that, King Wei seems to really think that Feng Sheng has it. Usually, he would be greedy about bed affairs, but ever since this happened, he never even touched Feng Sheng with his fingers.
The girls are as detailed as they can be, and they even asked Imperial Physician Wang to change the tonic prescription. Before Feng Sheng went out, he didn't care, but now he is not even allowed to go to the academy. Feng Sheng can't screw him, so he stays in the mansion After half a month, Doctor Wang came to check the pulse again, this time it was real, more real than real money.
As for why she could still conceive after taking the anti-child medicine, Feng Sheng and Wei Wang also discussed after the incident. Wang Taiyi said that any medicine is not 100% effective, and this prescription is based on nourishment. , it is not uncommon to be pregnant. Fortunately, Feng Sheng's body is much better now, although it's not the best time to be pregnant, it's not too bad.
From then on, Feng Sheng began to raise a baby.
Before, Feng Sheng didn't realize that Wei Wang was so clingy, but now he followed her, and he followed her whatever she did. It's not that she dislikes him following him, but that she can't do anything if he follows him like this.
Originally, it was a troubled time at the academy, so she should have gone over to watch more, but now it's good, she can't even get out the door. But what King Wei said is not unreasonable, the academy is in the suburbs of Beijing, the distance is not far, but it is not close, the carriage is bumpy, the first three months of a woman's pregnancy are the most important, everything has to wait until the fetus is firmly seated.
Feng Sheng could only listen, and as for the affairs of the academy, he could only leave it to King Wei.
Originally, King Wei didn't bother to do this, but in order to prevent Feng Sheng from going to the academy, he had to do it himself.
Just eat with eyes open and sleep with eyes closed every day, Feng Sheng is so boring, fortunately there are girls from Zhiqiu to talk with her, King Wei also stays with her when he is not busy, and Han Jiangshu from the women's hall is also there. I often write letters to Feng Sheng, talking about things in the academy.
In fact, Feng Sheng really likes chatting with Han Ying. This woman has walked out a path she once thought about but never did. under unimaginable pressure.
Just like Han Ying, she was originally from the south of the Yangtze River, but she went to the capital to make a living by herself. This was actually a last resort. But she did come out and live a good life, which is inseparable from her own resilience and broad-mindedness.
Every time I talk to her, it can always arouse some sympathy in Feng Sheng, so when there is nothing to do, Feng Sheng likes to talk to her. This time, Feng Sheng was pregnant and couldn't go to the academy. If she had anything to tell her about the women's hall, she would write a letter to Han Ying. Or talk about the situation of the academy, or talk about those female students.
Women's minds are always much more delicate than men's. In the men's hall, the husband only cares about teaching and does not care about other things. These female students have their own hardships and misfortunes because of their different family backgrounds, which makes Han Ying and Feng Sheng pay special attention to them. Overall situation.
In fact, it was the girl named Xiao Yinzi that caused the two of them to be like this.
This girl is extremely intelligent, but she has too many problems. Her years of begging make her unwilling to trust people easily. The seven-year-old girl tells lies, although these lies have not affected the lives of others. And Feng Sheng's sensitivity to human nature let her know that Xiao Yinzi's lies are not malicious, she wants everyone to be well, because her inner tendency makes everything well, and she uses lies to whitewash peace, which is not a problem .
Because they paid attention to Xiaoyinzi, they found that other girls also had more or less problems. For example, there was a girl named Huaer who was very timid, never took the initiative to talk to others, and had to be asked to do everything. She dared to do it.
Through Han Ying's unremitting efforts, they learned that Hua'er's timidity comes from her childhood experience. Her family is too poor and there are too many children. She is a girl, and she often makes mistakes at home. Criticism and beatings made her more timid and fearful of making mistakes in everything she did.
In order to improve her situation, Han Ying has done many things, but unfortunately the results are not great. The academy rests for one day every ten days, because the women's hall is full of girls, and they are not very old. , and ordered people to send them back next to each other in a special car.
Anyway, there are only about twenty people, all living nearby, and half a day is enough. Every time I was a flower, I managed to improve. Once I go home and go back to the academy, it is like going back to the beginning.
Han Ying was very anxious, thinking that this was not possible, but there was no proper way, so she could only watch slowly. But this time her letter was related to the book in the Women's Hall.
After the most basic literacy, these female students should learn more content. Only by reading and literacy can they learn the principles of life.
But what is a human being
This meaning is too broad, and what women learn nowadays is "Women's Precepts", "Internal Training", "Women's Rules", "The Analects of Women", "Nv Fanjielu", and more choices-"Biography of Women", " "Jieyi Zhuan" and "Zhenshun Biography", these are the books that women can read, that is to say, the books that women should read nowadays.
Only by reading can you know how to be a man. If you study all these books, you will probably teach some humble and submissive women, just like the content in the female commandment, which runs through the whole text to teach women to know how to be humble.
A boy is called Nongzhang, and a girl is called Nongwa. Women cannot be compared with men from birth; men regard strength as the most important thing, and women regard weakness as beauty. No matter right or wrong, women should obey their husbands unconditionally; Righteousness, women have no two suitable texts.
Anyway, on this point, both Feng Sheng and Han Ying despised Ban Zhao, who is also the author of "The Commandments of Women", so after reading this letter, Feng Sheng subconsciously thought that since she opened the academy, she was completely You can learn what you want them to learn.
She even quickly made up her mind and wrote a reply.
During the writing process, Wei Wang came suddenly.
Like doing these things now, Feng Sheng will never hide it from King Wei, and it is King Wei who doesn't allow her to have things he doesn't know. This person is very domineering and seems to like to spy on her thoughts, so he is very keen to participate in everything about her, and of course he is also keen to tell her everything about himself.
Feng Sheng is not the kind of person with a small belly, he will let him know if he wants to know, so when Wei Wang stood beside her and watched her write a letter, she didn't hide it.
After watching for a while, King Wei suddenly said, "Are you sure you want to do this?"
He was referring to Feng Sheng's reply letter, in which she asked Han Ying to teach those female students with books that men had learned, such as the Four Books and Five Classics.
Wei Wang's question made Feng Sheng stunned for a moment.
"Do you know why Confucianism became the mainstream among all the schools of thought in the Spring and Autumn Period?"
Of course this Feng Sheng knows, she has even researched on this, because the research is thorough enough, so many times her thoughts are not in line with the current situation.
In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, a hundred schools of thought contended. At that time, it was still an era of relatively free thinking. Many people dared to think and create schools of thought and academics. The most widely circulated schools of thought are Legalism, Mohism, Confucianism, Taoism, Legalism, and Strategists.
After several twists and turns, Confucianism, Taoism, and Mohism, represented by Confucius, Laozi, and Mozi, became the three mainstream schools of thought. After a long period of time and the change of dynasties, Confucianism represented by Confucius and Mencius became the mainstream thought.
Then why can Confucianism win over others, become the mainstream thought, and even be favored by many kings? All because the ruler needs it to control the people and consolidate the rule.
The Confucian school was not ideal at the very beginning of its development. The Warring States period was a time of disputes among princes and gunpowder everywhere. The idea of benevolent government and anti-tyrannical government could not satisfy the concept of princely rule and great unification. It was not accepted by those in power until Dong Zhongshu in the Han Dynasty developed Neo-Confucianism and advocated the divine right of kings.
After that, after a long period of time, the Confucian school gradually moved closer to the rulers, absorbed the teachings of Buddhism and Taoism, and had new variations, such as the three cardinal principles and the five constant principles, the interaction between heaven and man, and being ordered by heaven. , to fool the people.
Feng Sheng is good at thinking, so she understands all this, so she learns it, uses it, but does not fear it, which is why she dares to challenge the ruling class represented by the prince by herself. As for the king of Wei, he is regarded as the ruling class, so he naturally understands the core of it and will not be fooled by it.
"You can do this, but the current mainstream is like this. If you teach them this way, if one day they leave the academy and return to the secular world, will they be aliens?"
What is heterogeneous? Those who are different from ordinary people are heterogeneous.
There is no way for aliens to live in the world, just like Han Ying, she can be said to not give in to men, but even if she is like her, she must stay away from her hometown and struggle to survive alone. Han Ying's good life is due to her tenacious character and broad-mindedness, but not everyone has this quality.
Take Hua'er for example, she is used to the way her family treats her, if you force her out, tell her that other people's families are not like this, that other people's daughters don't have to be beaten or starved, and they don't have to give in to their brothers and sisters. She understands, she understands, but she has no ability to change the environment she is in. What should she do? Maybe then, it will be the most painful time for her.
People, sometimes it’s not that the more thorough the vision, the better. It’s not bad to live a life in a daze. Wisdom is bound to hurt. This is probably what I’m talking about.
Feng Sheng fell into deep thought for a long time. Seeing her like this, King Wei obviously wanted to remind her that she had been sitting for a long time, so he chose to keep quiet and make room for her to think seriously.
He could see that she cared about this, so he was willing to help her think about it and avoid some predictable mistakes.
Feng Sheng thought about it for a long time, until it was nearly evening before writing to Han Ying to reply.
In the letter, she raised Wei Wang's doubts, and wrote some of her own thoughts, and at the same time made a decision, or teach them all. After learning what women should learn, and then learning what men should learn, when there are differences and differences, they will naturally ask questions, and when they have questions, they will think about it. When they grow up, they will understand what they want.
After writing the letter, she ordered someone to send it to the academy. After finishing all this, she was very happy and went to have dinner with King Wei.
King Wei was in the study, just finished speaking with his staff, when he saw Feng Sheng coming, he asked everyone to disperse, and he himself walked towards the main courtyard with Feng Sheng.
Seeing her eyebrows and eyes stretched, he knew she was in a good mood, so he asked, "Have you finished writing the letter?"
She nodded.
"Fortunately, she is a woman." Otherwise, King Wei's vinegar bucket would have been overturned long ago. One letter a day, King Wei paid special attention to this matter, and ordered someone to investigate that Han Ying, but Feng Sheng didn't know.
Feng Sheng smiled: "If she was a man, I wouldn't be able to chat with her." The empathy for each other is the main reason why the two of them can chat.
"In a few days and sixteen weeks, we will go to the palace."
Hearing this, Feng Sheng came to realize that the sixteenth prince is already one year old, time flies so fast.
"I'll ask someone to open the storeroom later to see if there's anything good to add, and I'll add it to Little Sixteen to catch Zhou." According to Daliang's custom, if there are children in the family or relatives, there will be a Zhou Chow Ceremony, in order to show the close relationship It is to add something for it to use to catch the week.
So it's settled, after dinner, the two asked people to open the storeroom, and after a while of picking and choosing, they chose a few suitable things to come out, and asked the servants to keep them and send them to the palace tomorrow.
Soon the day will come.
This is not a big day, and since the child is young, people have the idea of hiding it so as not to ruin their luck, so Xiao Shiliu's weekly ceremony is limited to his family.
Apart from the ladies and wives in the palace, there are all the princes including King Wu, King Zhao and King Xiang and their family members. Empress Chen also came. Since the last incident in the Chen family, she immediately recovered from her illness and began to show her face in front of people.
This time the attitude is completely different from the previous ones. To be honest, Empress Chen is arrogant. Although she treats people gently on the surface, she is arrogant in her bones, but this time she is very high-profile, high-profile to the point of enthusiasm. Every concubine in the palace, as far as the queen's duties are concerned, she pays attention to everything.
Just like this time, she was the first to mention Xiaoliu's Ceremony of Catch the Zhou, and she personally ordered people to do it. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Empress Chen attaches great importance to this matter.
Feng Sheng and King Wei didn't know about Empress Chen's anomaly, so when they saw Empress Chen in Xianfu Palace, and saw her solemnly and thoughtfully instructing the maids and eunuchs how to arrange the scene and fill in the gaps, they suddenly thought it was in Kunning palace.
The atmosphere at the scene was very strange, probably only Empress Chen hadn't noticed it.
But she is the queen after all, Emperor Jianping has always treated the queen with dignity, so it's hard for others to say anything. Wei Wang and Feng Sheng are juniors, so naturally they can't say anything, they can only watch from the side.
Feng Sheng quietly looked at Concubine Lihuang a few more times, seeing that she was smiling, but she couldn't tell what mood she was in.
With the arrival of Emperor Jianping, the Zhou Catch Ceremony began.
According to the rules, the father of the child should also put one thing to show his expectation. Emperor Jianping didn't know whether he forgot to prepare or what. When Empress Chen reminded him, he took a jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Fu Lu to put it on.
In an instant, the eyes of everyone in the hall came together.
Feng Sheng couldn't understand Wu Wang's eyes, and glanced at Wei Wang, who gave her a calm look.
It was the thirteenth prince who spoke out first. He is fourteen this year, and he is not too old or too young. With a slender body and a circle of fluff growing on his lips, he looks like a young and immature boy.
"Father is so kind to Little Sixteen. You didn't give me this jade pendant when Second Brother asked you for it."
King Wu glanced at him, and scolded with a smile: "Thirteen, don't gossip about your second brother in everything, is it because you have taken a fancy to this jade pendant, how old is Sixteen, you want to snatch it from him?"
"Second brother, I didn't rob Little Sixteen. Father, I just want to say..."
Thirteen blushed anxiously.
The eldest prince at the side interjected in a strange way: "Second, you have been wanting this jade pendant for a long time, who doesn't know, why are you running on Thirteen."
Seeing that the eldest prince revealed his shortcomings, King Wu's eyes flashed annoyed, and he said with a smirk: "Look at what elder brother said, I'm not joking with Shisan."
"I don't think your tone is like a joke."
"What does the elder brother think it looks like?" Wu Wang sneered.
Zhao Wang hurriedly came forward to smooth things over: "It's almost time, today is Xiao Shiliu's good day, father, queen, queen, mother and concubine are all here, big brother and second brother, don't say a word, don't steal Xiao Shiliu's limelight."
He looked up while talking, and saw that Emperor Jianping's face was a little cold, and the First Prince and King Wu stopped talking immediately.
