Chapter 9: Gifted

Although Ciqing Palace is in the imperial palace, it does not belong to the harem, but is on the right side of the three major halls, located on the east side of the Forbidden City. However, as the residence of the prince, there are concubines in it, but it is not something that ordinary people can enter and leave at will. Therefore, the palace ban system of Ciqing Palace is also very strict.

The palace guards only guarded the gate of Ciqing Palace, and there was not a single normal male inside, except for the crown prince. Oh, and of course, there is now a grandson.

Since that day to Wanli, Zhu Youxiao no longer has to hide anything, and runs around with joy every day. The eunuchs and maids of the East Palace were stunned to find that the young master was really not an ordinary baby, and it only took three days to go from walking to running. This is deliberately covered up by Zhu Youxiao, otherwise the effect is even more surprising.

Zhu Youxiao didn't know if it was because of the ball lightning that caused him to cross, or because he was a traverser, his body was very different from other babies, he was much stronger. It's just half a year, and I can run and jump for exercise, although the amount is still small, but other babies are still developing at this time.

The consequence of meticulous exercise is a big increase in the amount of food, but fortunately, there is not much else in Keyinyue, just a lot of milk, Zhu Youxiao couldn't eat it all before, but now he can eat it cleanly. By the time Hakka's milk supply was insufficient, he would be able to digest normal people's food.

Time passed in the constant fluttering of Xiao Youxiao, and in the blink of an eye, it was another two months. At this time, it was the seventh month of the thirty-fourth year of Wanli, and it was also the middle of July of the lunar calendar, and the middle of August of 1605 in the Western calendar.

Sitting in the study of the Qianqing Palace, Wanli sat on the soft couch, frowning and looking at a piece of music on the table. That was Shoufu Shen's usual resignation.

Wanli's chubby face was covered with beads of sweat, and the screams outside the palace made him very irritable, and he only felt a fire of ignorance coming out of his heart. And what made him even more angry was the recent noisy dispute in the outer court.

Because of the demon book case in the thirty-first year of Wanli, Shen Yiyi, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Shen Li, the cabinet minister, have just stood up, but our first assistant is not capable enough after all, but he was targeted by the official and impeached every day. In three years, the recitals of his impeachment could fill a room.

Finally, our Shoufu classmate couldn't stand it, he was also a very popular minister, a well-known figure in the world, and he also wanted to be faced. I was caught and scolded every day, how could I accept it. Since the cadres have gone down, let's resign.

So, Shen Yiyi's classmate wrote a letter in a chic manner, telling Wanli, I can't do it anymore, you can find someone else to do this CEO position. At the end of the recital, our classmate Shen also used his past feelings to make a request to the emperor: I go, and Shen Li will also go.

What a hatred, what a hatred.

Looking at this recital, Wanli thought for a while, then stretched his brows, and wrote a quasi-word. I've granted your request, you and Shen Li get out of here.

After approving this letter, Wanli's mood was obviously much better. Let the two of you quarrel every day, and go back to farming together.

As for the first assistant and the second assistant, there was only one seventy-two-year-old Zhu Geng left in the cabinet. Well, this is not in the consideration of our great Emperor Shenzong, anyway, it is your group of civil officials who are in charge, and you are also doing it, so I can't interfere at all.

In the end, if there is no one to work, you will have to do more work if there is one less person, and it is better to be able to exhaust a few to death, so that I will be the happiest. In his heart, Wanli thought so viciously.

"Yay, yes!"

Just when Wanli was in a good mood because of the lack of two upsetting things in front of him, a childish voice came from the door. Along with the voice, it is an extremely unfamiliar name. In a trance, Wanli couldn't even remember who this title should be called.

With doubts and curious thoughts, Wanli raised his head and looked towards the door, which made him so stunned that he could hardly believe what he saw. In his disbelief, he even raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, trying to prove whether what he saw was true or false.

At the door of the study, there was a small person, judging from the immature little face, this was the imperial grandson who should be happy in Ciqing Palace, Zhu Youxiao!

"Yay!" Seeing Wanli's stunned appearance, Zhu Youxiao called out vaguely again, and then ran towards the room with a proud mood. Screaming as he ran.

"Bang dang!"

At this time, seeing the villain running towards him, Wanli believed that everything in front of him was real, and in a panic, he wanted to stand up to greet his good grandson, but he was in a hurry, but he touched the delicate and warm white porcelain teacup on the table to the ground.

Sharp splinters were scattered on the carpet, landing exactly in the direction Zhu Youxiao was advancing.

"My good grandson, be careful." Wanli's heart was in a hurry, his fat body became agile in vain at this moment, he got up from the soft couch with three times and five divided by two, stepped on the porcelain fragments in a few steps, and hugged Zhu Youxiao.

"Yay!" After being picked up, Zhu Youxiao shouted happily again.

Looking at the beads of sweat and the happy look on the villain's face, Wanli was so excited that his eyes were hot, and a few tears actually flowed out. He clearly knew how far it was from Ciqing Palace to this Qianqing Palace, and this little doll didn't know how many miles it had walked to get here.

Thinking of this, Wanli was moved, and couldn't help but be furious, those bastards in the East Palace actually allowed such a little doll to be exposed to the sun.

"What a group of, they didn't take care of Haoyouxiao and let him walk around! Damn it! "The prince was furious, and millions of corpses were ambushed. Wanli was really angry this time, and his fierce momentum was something that these palace maids and eunuchs could bear.

"Your Majesty spares your life, Your Majesty spares your life."

The palace maids and eunuchs led by Ke Yinyue and Li Jin Zhongxian were full of joy waiting for Wanli's rewards and praises, who would have thought that what came to their heads was violent murder and anger. For a while, there were no weak legs, spread to the ground, just kowtowing and begging for mercy, and couldn't say anything.

Li Jinzhong, who was kneeling in front, wanted to say something, but as soon as he looked up and saw Wanli's discolored dragon face, the courage that he had finally mustered up in his heart disappeared again, and he couldn't open his usual very clever mouth.

On the contrary, Wang An, who came with me for fear of accidents, is still as immobile as I am. I saw him bend over and bow, and said with a little choked up: "Your Majesty, how dare the emperor's grandson and others dare to stop him with a pure filial piety." The ministers also wanted to come over with the grandson, but the grandson insisted on refusing and had to come over by himself. ”

As he spoke, Wang An knelt on the ground, his tone became more and more sad, and he said with some tears in his voice: "Taisun is pure filial piety, and you can learn from it every day." Today is not the first time that the grandson has walked to the Qianqing Palace, in order to find His Majesty accurately, the grandson started from being able to walk, walked out of the palace every day, and walked to this side, until today, he can see His Majesty. ”

"Old slave...... It's not that the old slave doesn't feel sorry for the grandson, but he can't bear to tarnish the pure filial piety of the grandson. Every time he saw the struggling appearance of his grandson, the old slave also ......., "Speaking of this, Wang An couldn't continue anymore and cried loudly. And the other eunuchs and palace maids were not stupid, and they cried together. Of course, it is not known how many of them are sincere and how many are scary.

"This..."Hearing Wang An's cry, Wanli didn't know what to say for a while, just hugged the little doll in his arms and let the tears roll in his eyes.

That night, a decree came out from the Qianqing Palace, and twenty green eunuchs and palace maids were selected to fill the East Palace and take care of the grandson. The seven or eight people who followed the grandson to the Qianqing Palace were sealed. Li Jinzhong's grade was raised, and even the nurse Ke Yinyue, a supernumerary staff, had an unexpected reward, and she was willing to allow her to live in the palace.

After knowing the news, Ke Yinyue, a hard-working rural woman, was suddenly pleasantly surprised. According to the old rules, the nurse waited until the prince was able to eat alone. After leaving the palace, the helpless Hakka didn't know how to survive. In Ke Yinyue's view, freedom is more important than survival. This will to allow her to live in the palace is tantamount to saving her life.

At night, Zhu Youxiao, who was resting on the bed, was full of smiles. Everything today is out of his planning, and the purpose is just to win Wanli's favor and increase his weight in the emperor's heart. Judging by today's results, this effect is a bit excessive.

"But that's all I can do." In addition to being delighted, Zhu Youxiao sighed a little. He was not a very good talent in his previous life, but he trained in the army for two years, and then did his best to be admitted to the civil service and became a prison guard who dealt with criminals all day long.

Years of experience, although he has a deeper understanding of the world, but he can't really ask him to welcome and send him. One is that he is tired and unwilling in his heart, and the other is that his acting skills are not up to par, and it is too fake to shoot sycophants.

Of course, if you let him plan in advance, you can also do it more satisfactorily. But if you don't do more, the current scene of filial piety looking for grandpa is his limit, and if he is asked to do something, he can't think of it.

"I knew that I used to read more female frequency articles, but now I can't even compete for favor, it's really blind to my nickname of taking precautions."

"Fortunately, it's enough to please Wanli alone." Thinking of his pretentiousness today, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but feel a wave of nausea in his heart△ As a sincere person, he still has a certain spiritual cleanliness.

"However, such things will be indispensable in the future, so let's cultivate hard." After comforting himself, Zhu Youxiao's head tilted and slowly fell into a deep sleep, he was really tired today.

Since then, Zhu Youxiao began to walk to the Qianqing Palace every day to greet Wanli, and when his body was a little stronger, he began to run. As time went on, he began to speak more and more words, and he was amazed at how clearly they were organized.

With his adult mind, if he wants to say something pleasing to him, it's not too easy, just a few words can make Wanli laugh. Every time Wanli saw him, he was reluctant to let go, and he had to reduce this action when the principal was so big that he couldn't hold it.

Wanli's honor and favor for the emperor's grandson are almost known to the government and the opposition. After the crown prince Zhu Changluo, several children were born one after another, but Wanli ignored it and only cared about the well-behaved grandson.

It's strange to say that the children born behind Xiaoyou School, even after the life of Ciqing Palace has been improved, they still die one after another. Some people say that this is too hard, too heavy, and grammatic.

This saying was once very popular in the palace and has been circulating for a long time. It wasn't until Zhu Changluo's fifth son grew up and survived that this rumor disappeared.

This fifth son is Chongzhen in history, Zhu Youxiao's half-brother, Zhu Youzhen. Mingguangzong Zhu Changluo had a total of seven sons in his life, and only the eldest son Zhu Youxiao and the fifth son Zhu Youzhen grew up.

Of course, these are all later words, so I won't say them here.
