There has been a lot of commotion in Huanhua Hall these days. Even if Yun Fenghuang is strict in governing the palace, a few words will inevitably get out.
This comforted the other palaces.
For example, Concubine De, Mrs. Qingshu and Xuan Zhaoyi felt that as the oldest child of Chunjia, King Qin found it so difficult to go to school, so it seemed that there was no need to push the children in front of him so hard
Wei Hengyan was more relaxed because he had a close relationship with Yun Fenghuang and knew more about the details.
Because Sanhuang is a docile woman, although she is a little confused about the unexpected schoolwork, she is a good child who does what she is told.
Although her talent was average and she struggled to learn, she couldn't help but be good. At least she would work hard to write as many words as she was told. She would not be like King Qin and Princess Zhaoqing, who thought about going out to play when the weather happened, and even wanted to take the initiative in order to skip class. Broke leg…
In comparison, Concubine De was simply too satisfied with her daughter.
Xuan Zhaoyi had similar thoughts.
Mrs. Qingshu, on the other hand, was relieved but also a little worried. She secretly discussed with her: "Forget it, Princess Zhaoqing. Prince Qin is so lazy. What if he doesn't work hard after he enters school?"
It's not scary that King Qin has no future, but the key is that if the second prince under his knees tries to imitate his eldest brother, Concubine Min will be unhappy, which will be fatal!
Everyone on the left and right felt embarrassed when they heard this, so they suggested: "Why don't we, Your Highness, stop going to school and take a rest first?"
Just like King Qin, I feel that if the second prince doesn't make up for the lessons in advance, he can crush him if he is not careful. If he learns this in advance, it will be even harder for him to be as good as King Qin. This...
Mrs. Qingshu thought about it and felt that given the second prince's life experience, it would not be a big deal if he held back the school. At most, he would be criticized for a few words. It was not good for him to be too top-notch, so she simply suspended him from class and let him continue to do what he likes. Why go
The Queen of the Middle Palace had mixed feelings about this. She was still working hard for fear that the third prince would not be able to compare with King Qin. Why did she think that King Qin was a scumbag
The queen couldn't believe how lucky she was.
"Perhaps Huanhua Palace knows that we are thinking about inviting the fourth aunt's wife to teach the third prince these past two days, and deliberately spread the news just to make us take it lightly." The queen's attendants also did not believe that such a good thing would happen, and they all felt that This must be a conspiracy, "The imperial concubine has always been scheming and cannot be trusted!"
So they urged the third prince to study hard, and the queen personally came forward to persuade Chunjia to allow the queen's distant cousin to become a female official in Yanfu Palace.
"Why did the queen bring her cousin into the palace?" Yun Fenghuang naturally wanted to inquire after hearing the news, "I heard that she is quite young and is about to become a grandmother. What did she do to bring such a person into the palace? ?”
"My servant went to inquire about it. This Mrs. Gu is extraordinary." Chen Jing said with a smile, "It is said that she was famous for her talent in the boudoir and her reputation spread far and wide. Later she married a very talented man. The courtesan of the late Emperor Xiaozong. A true match made in heaven between a talented man and a beautiful woman. After they got married, the husband followed his wife, and the rumors became more and more popular... It's just that Xu was deeply in love, and her husband died of illness a few years ago, leaving his wife and children. The Queen specially hired the man. As a female official in Yanfu Palace, she is probably expected to help teach the third prince and the others."
Yun Fenghuang snorted and said: "Children are not sensible, and they may not be able to put their talents and knowledge to use."
She was famous for her talents when she was in the North. Although her talents were mainly bragging about her family, there is no problem in teaching King Qin and Princess Zhaoqing now, but these two little things are If she refuses to learn, what can she do
It’s not like we can really fight for good or bad!
Thinking of the day King Qin was beaten to the point of crying, Yun Fenghuang felt soft-hearted, stopped and asked him: "Do you still dare to think about skipping classes in the future, and study hard without paying attention?"
How did the boy respond
King Qin cried and said: "I am being beaten now, and it hurts. I want to say that I don't dare, but when the pain stops, I still don't want to go to school. I want to go to the garden to catch bugs and play!"
Yun Fenghuang: "..."
If she hadn't been young, she might have fainted from anger on the spot!
But she wanted to continue beating her. King Qin cried even louder and shouted that the concubine was lying: "Didn't I say before that I would tell you the truth when something happened, even if I did something bad? In this way, you will definitely be punished lightly. , you lied! You hit me harder than before! I won’t believe you anymore!!!”
She won't teach this unfortunate child anymore!
She can't teach him anymore!
If Zhao hadn't been illiterate, she would have really wanted Zhao to go to school!
Whoever is angry will be the one to blame, don’t torment her as an adoptive mother! ! !
Chen Jing watched it from beginning to end that day. He laughed to himself when he heard this. He coughed dryly and agreed seriously: "What the empress said is true. In fact, the empress also had a sudden illness and went to the hospital indiscriminately."
He opened his eyes and told lies, "The Queen was probably very angry with the Third Prince and His Highness King Chu, so she dragged Mrs. Gu into the palace to support her."
Yun Fenghuang felt much more comfortable after hearing this. He was not just a cheap girl who had to suffer the torment.
As for whether this is true or not, well, Concubine Min has no intention of pursuing it now...
She urgently needs to listen to something nice now to make herself feel that life is still good.
Chunjia found out about this news, and when he came over the next day, he smiled and teased Yun Fenghuang: "I have seen Ahuang lose weight in the past two days, and I thought I was wrong. It turned out that I was only worried about the children. ?”
"What did your Majesty say?" Yun Fenghuang scolded him with a calm expression, "Although Prince Qin and Zhao Qing are usually more naughty and I have a slightly stern face, aren't they just obedient? How can they be worrying?"
Are you kidding me? What was she trying to do by urging her two children to start making up extra classes before they officially entered school? One is not to lose face, and the other is to leave a good impression on Chunjia.
So how could it be possible to admit that King Qin and Zhao Qing were truant
Therefore, he was tired of the emperor's coquettish behavior and made him admit that he was wrong before he gave up.
He turned around and complained to the Qing people: "When I was a child, I competed with my sixth sister for favor, and I forced myself to concentrate on my studies, thinking that I could compare with my sixth sister. I always felt that it was hard enough at that time; when my sixth sister had an accident that year, I was I was alone in the palace, and I came all the way to see my aunt Dijing. I thought that this life might not be difficult anymore. When I first entered the palace, surrounded by jackals, and life and death were only a matter of thoughts from the high position, I felt it was very difficult... Now I think about it. It's the peace of mind, but the lack of progress of these two children really makes it difficult for me to be calm!"
The Qing Dynasty comforted him: "Your Highnesses are still young and have only started school for a few days. It is inevitable that they will not get used to it. Maybe it will get better in a while..."
Yun Fenghuang didn't quite believe this. When she was a child, her brothers and sisters from a large family went to school together, and it was not uncommon for her to see people who didn't like studying.
That allowed him to do anything except study.
Entering the school is like following the execution ground.
At the beginning, some people tried to smooth things over by saying that they were still young and would be more sensible when they grow up and realize that their future is important... That's weird!
He will become more sensible when he grows up, but if he doesn't like reading, he just doesn't like reading, and even if he is beaten to death, he won't bother.
Anyway, if you can’t make a future on your own, don’t you still have a family? The Xie family is so big that they will not starve to death.
This is still the case for an ordinary wealthy family in the countryside, not to mention that King Qin is a prince
Yun Fenghuang felt that this was not going to work. If this continued, she would be angry to death. If King Qin was also the kind of uneducated and incompetent person, then the eldest son would be considered useless. What was the use of raising him? Are you angry with yourself
"When Mrs. Gu comes into the palace, keep an eye on the middle palace for me." The imperial concubine thought for a while and ordered, "Let's see how she teaches the third prince and the King of Chu."
Although Yun Fenghuang firmly believes that the two children don't study hard, it's not that they are not knowledgeable enough, or that they don't teach well, it's simply that the children are not good enough and don't care. But... stones from other mountains can attack jade, right
Maybe asking about Mrs. Gu's teaching methods can bring the two children back to the right path
Time flies to the end of the year, and a banquet from the palace is indispensable.
Yun Fenghuang then saw Yixi, Wei He's protégé, and said he was thirteen years old. He looked about sixteen or seventeen years old in China. This boy looked like a hawk and looked down upon the wolf. He was very heroic. Handsome.
From his eyes to his outline, there is an air of openness and wantonness, reminding people of the innate desolation beyond the Great Wall.
Maybe he was warned before setting off, or maybe it was due to the current situation, but his attitude was quite respectful and he was very conscious of being a proton.
The emperor was very kind to him. He personally inquired about his food, clothing, housing and transportation, and encouraged him not to be polite and to just say anything inappropriate.
This was originally a polite remark, but Yisi brought it up as a matter of course, wanting to wait for the emperor's heir to enter school and then sit in together.
Chunjia thought about it for a while and then agreed. Yun Fenghuang was particularly crazy when he returned to the harem. He stared at King Qin and told him to study hard. Otherwise, as the eldest son of the emperor of the country, he would be outdone by his younger brothers and sisters, and at most he would be embarrassed in the royal family. If you are compared with a foreign prince, wouldn't it be extremely embarrassing
As for Yixi being several years older than King Qin, that doesn't matter. Yixi's Chinese is still very limited.
If this kind of homework can still defeat King Qin, it can be seen that the gap in talent and hard work between the two sides is really not a little bit.
She was worried about her child's lack of progress and disobedience, and this age passed in a daze.
When the court came to court at the beginning of the new year, there was another urgent report from Northern Xinjiang. It was not Wei He's fault, but that after the Dingbei Army transferred the main force into Wei He's territory, the garrison in Northern Xinjiang suddenly fell a lot short.
No, there are actually bandits coming out.
Although he did not dare to approach Yanzhou, where the Dingbei Army was stationed, he also wandered around to test the area, burning, killing and looting.
Even a distant relative of Yun Fenghuang died as a result.
The imperial court was of course furious after hearing the news, and ordered the Dingbei Army who stayed in Yanzhou to clear out the bandits and ensure peace in the countryside.
When Yun Fenghuang heard the news at first, she didn't take it seriously. Later she found out that it was Qi Jiulu who had received the mission, which surprised Yun Fenghuang. She thought that Gu Fangshu personally took command and went to the grassland to help Xifa. Qi Jiulu probably He would also go there, but who knew he would be left behind in Yanzhou
It is not a good thing to stay behind at this time. The emergence of bandits is a trivial matter. The key is that everyone in the government and the public regards this expedition as a great opportunity to gain gold and profit.
The Wei family even tried to seek a title.
As Gu Fangshu's most valued subordinate, Qi Jiulu stayed in Yanzhou. What does it mean
This means that the opportunity to make military exploits has been eliminated from the beginning.
Yun Fenghuang understood why he was treated like this. Even though no one had mentioned it deliberately over the years, and Chunjia didn't seem to have specifically targeted him, he was the ex-fiancé of the emperor's favorite concubine after all.
If he went to the battlefield and didn't make any merit, it would be fine. But if he made some merit, it would be the kind of merit that would be heard by heaven. Who knows whether the emperor would be displeased
Anyway, Qi Jiulu is young and has no particularly impressive past so far.
Letting him go to the battlefield may not be of much use, but not letting him go to the battlefield can avoid offending the emperor. Is this still a choice
"There are distant relatives of the Jiang family who work under him and are his personal soldiers." Jiang told her daughter privately, "He is doing well now. I heard that Uncle Zhaowu valued him very much. Although he didn't take him with him when he went on an expedition, he always gave guidance and attentiveness. It seems that it is everyone's fate to treat his own children. In fact, he is not the best, but Uncle Zhaowu just likes... There is no other meaning in telling you this. This time, the in-laws of the third room have something to do with the banditry. When the fire burns you, you won’t know anything.”
Yun Fenghuang said calmly: "It's been so many years since old sesame seeds rotted millet. Why did you mention it?"
Instead, he asked Princess Kunze, "It's been two years since she fell. Why is there no news? Could it be the same as Princess Sui'an? Has the imperial doctor seen her?"
Jiang frowned and said: "The imperial doctor has looked at it, but there is nothing wrong with it. It means that she is not Yizi's body. The couple are still young, so they should take their time. Your aunt and others are all sensible people, and no one knows about it. Say things you shouldn’t say, just say that your children and grandchildren will have their own blessings.”
"It's just that the body is not suitable for pregnancy. That's okay. Take your time and there will always be hope." Yun Fenghuang nodded and said, "The worst thing I'm afraid of is that Sui'an is completely hopeless."
When it came to Princess Sui'an, Jiang pondered for a moment and finally asked: "Wu Zheng, he... really has no hope of returning to the court?"
"Do you think I don't care about it?" Yun Fenghuang sighed and said, "In the past two years, how could I not mention this matter every time? But His Majesty either avoids it or vetoes it outright. In the end, They are not allowed to come back to the Imperial Capital. Before going on summer vacation last year, I even wrote an article about being a concubine, but Your Majesty didn't take it seriously."
Jiang sighed with some disappointment: "Your uncle and the others are asking questions. I also feel that it is a pity for that child. Among the boys of this generation in our family, he is the most intelligent, capable, and calm... I see now Your brothers and the others find it annoying."
"The days are long, and Brother Twenty-One is still very young." Yun Fenghuang advised her, "I'll just look for another opportunity. I have such a useful brother in my family. If I can, how can I be willing to give up?"
After talking like this for a while, Jiang resigned.
The next day, when Yun Fenghuang was banging the table and cursing King Qin and Zhaoqing as usual for his homework, Chen Jing came in a hurry and said, "Your Majesty, something happened."
