The Son of Heaven dotes on his youngest son very much.

Under the influence of the former queen, he believed in Buddhism, and his children's names came from Buddhist scriptures and Buddhist treasures, all of which were from his mouth. However, in order to give his youngest son a milk name, he couldn't find a satisfactory Sanskrit name after looking through all the scriptures, which could express the preciousness and extraordinariness of this little son in his heart.

After dragging on for a long time and thinking about it too much, I became a little crazy, and the name that came out gradually made people cry and laugh.

Finally, one day, he said to Xu Si, "Let's call him Devadatta1." ”

Celebrities and scholars talk about Confucianism, metaphysics as the key, and commentary and Taoism as the side. Today's families, many of them have concurrently cultivating Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, and most of the Buddhist monks are famous people who bypass Confucianism and Taoism. Although the Xu family does not believe in Buddhism, they have a lot of exchanges with senior monks, and the children in the family also know some Sanskrit.

Xu Si also understood as soon as he heard it - Devadatta is a Sanskrit transliteration, which means the son of heaven.

The Son of Heaven wanted to give his son a name based on the Dharma. In Buddhism, there is peace and tranquility, and wisdom and detachment are often emphasized, but the mood of the Son of Heaven is clearly ecstasy and doting. In his heart, when this child was born, the room was full of red light, the court was full of color, there was a strange fragrance lingering, and the heavens were singing. It was the precious son that God had given him. He hated to give him all the wealth and blessings, so he was not in the mood to talk about purity, innocence, purity, and detachment.

It can be seen that in essence, the Son of Heaven is indeed not a person in Buddhism.

The name aptly reflects the mood of the Son of Heaven, and you can't say it's bad. But it's her own son who wants to use that name!

Xu Si smiled, "Why do you have to take Sanskrit sounds?" Why don't you just call him Ah Ci? ”

The Son of Heaven immediately said, "My milk name is Alan Ruo, and my children have also named after the Dharma. His name is Ah Ci, what should he think? ”

The Son of Heaven has always been meticulous and considerate of what he likes. But considering the child's mood in the future, Xu Si couldn't help but be touched. Just laughing for a moment.

The Son of Heaven chose a name and felt a sense of accomplishment. He picked up his youngest son and tried to call him, but he couldn't do it for a long time - when he was about to do it, he finally realized how ashamed he was to name his son "Devadatta".

For such a milk name, the Son of Heaven was entangled and didn't sleep for several nights. Who knew that it would be such a result, and I couldn't help but be deeply shocked.

In front of Xu Si, he didn't care too much about face. But if you get the surprise of the treasure, this will be vetoed, which is too ugly. Fortunately, he was quick-witted, and immediately changed his words, "If you think this name is too long, it will be awkward." Let's simply call him a tan - he was born with a strange fragrance, and the tanna is close to the Daduoyin, and it is all about giving and giving to him. It's not far from being called Ah Ci. ”

Xu Si smiled, "Ah Tan is it...... My brother's third child's name was changed to Tan Lang. ”

It's rare for the Son of Heaven to come up with such a compromise method, I heard that it was taken over, and I couldn't help but lose my temper while being disappointed, "Let him change it!" That's what I want to do. ”

Xu Si only thought that the Son of Heaven was joking, but the Son of Heaven really called Ah Tan to his youngest son.

After calling for a few days in a row, Xu Sicai came back to his senses. In order to avoid creating an established fact, she could only pretend to be confused, and said, "Da Lang is called Vimo, and Erlang might as well be called Pranya." Vajra and Hokko are also good names. Horizontal and vertical is the name of the milk, and it won't take a few years. There are a lot of folk called Guanyin maids and Vajra slaves. ”

In the end, the second prince was finally decided, but the Son of Heaven felt that this name was not close, so he still called Erlang as Atan.

When Xi took his son into the palace, Xu Si mentioned this matter to her.

Xi pondered and said slowly, "It turns out that there is such a thing - a few days ago, the Son of Heaven suddenly wanted to see a few boys in the family. Seeing that Saburo liked something like it, he said that this child was "tolerant and considerable, and there was a degree of advance and retreat", so he asked if he had taken a scientific name. I heard that I haven't taken it yet, so I should even give the word 'Yi'. Now that San Lang's name and characters are complete, the milk name is naturally useless. ”

Xu Si felt helpless when he heard this, and sighed, "He has never liked to take straight points, and he has more of this kind of scheming." ”

Xi didn't care, and said, "It's just a milk name, take it away." She lowered her voice and said, "I'm worried about something else...... On that day, the Son of Heaven also spoke to your brother about Devadatta. If the girl doesn't love the Buddhist scriptures, she doesn't know. Devadatta means indeed a God-given son, but there is really such a person in the Buddhist scriptures - how wise, but he is bent on murdering the Buddha and committing the five sins of rebellion. Your brother also wondered why the Son of Heaven believed in Buddhism, so he said that it was a good name. Now that I think about it, probably the Son of Heaven didn't really know the Buddhist scriptures. ”

The Son of Heaven is indeed not a person in Buddhism, and his belief in Buddhism is also influenced by the ears and eyes of the former queen. I know some allusions, but I may not have really studied the Buddhist scriptures. It's not surprising that he accidentally gave his son the name of a wicked person - didn't Xu Si know that there was really such a person in the Buddhist scriptures?

But he chose such a name, obviously with the intention of showing off. Once it is self-defeating, it will inevitably become angry.

Xu Si couldn't help asking, "Did my brother correct him?" ”

Xi Shi said, "I'm afraid it's ......" and said vaguely, "But your brother doesn't know that this is the name he gave to the second prince." ”

Xu Si said, "That bento has never happened, don't mention it to anyone again." I don't know. ”

Xi Shi was still a little hesitant, and said tentatively, "The Son of Heaven won't take such a trivial matter to heart, right?" ”

Xu Si smiled, "It doesn't matter, Brother can handle it." ”

Even so, although the name of the second prince is written as Prajna, it is tacitly read as Atan. Xu Si didn't correct it, but he didn't want to admit it, so he just called him "Erlang".

With such a messy name, even Ruyi was confused "What is the name of my younger brother", not to mention the second prince himself?

He was extremely slow to learn. Ruyi started to learn to speak at seven months, and when he was one year old, he was able to speak simple sentences. At the age of two and a half, he can already memorize many poems, and the second prince is about to be one and a half years old, and he can't speak.

Not only can't he say it, but he doesn't even have the will to say it. He just quietly watched the people around him, and he could sit all afternoon before learning to walk, as long as someone was talking or playing.

Fortunately, he was born extremely good-looking - there is nothing that is not exquisite, there is nothing to be faulty, and it is so good-looking that people sigh that "I often suspect this falsehood, but now I know it".

The concubines in the palace had nothing to say when they saw him once. Originally, Xu Si was known as stunning, but after seeing her, the concubines all felt that her beauty was indeed rare in her life, but it was an exaggeration to call it "stunning" - at least Zhang Guifei had her own merits compared to her. But since they met the second prince, they couldn't deceive themselves - after all, Xu Si was nearly thirty years old when he entered the palace, and he was a half-old man. When she was twenty-eight or ten years old, her appearance was indeed unbeatable, and it was stunning.

Therefore, even if the second prince looks at people quietly, there is no big difference between watching ants and ants, and the palace people also feel that he is very well-behaved and lovely.

However, he didn't speak for a long time, and in the eyes of those who care, he was inevitably a handle.

In particular, the eldest prince has been smart and studious since he was a child, and he has been known as a "poet idiot" since he was only seven or eight years old. Since Xu Mao went out, the people of the world, led by Shen Daolin, the abbot, have gradually converged on him.

In contrast, Erlang is almost two years old and still refuses to speak, and under the perfunctory presentation of people in the palace, people can't help but wonder if he has any hidden traces.

The Son of Heaven doted on the second prince, and when he heard this rumor, he only laughed, and said, "Don't hear it, don't fly for three years, and soar to the sky; Three years without a hit, a blockbuster'? My son was only two years old, and was growing his wings and looking at his people. Do not be in a hurry, but wait and see. ”

The Son of Heaven is not strong in words, but he really feels that the second child in his family is not unable to speak, but has such a personality.

His family Ah Tan is quiet and elegant by nature, and does not do superfluous things. What do you say children learn to talk so early? He blinked unintentionally, and there was a group of people trying their best to figure out what he meant. He didn't have any special requirements at all. And even if a child at the age of one or two speaks, it is useless nonsense, and because of the immature tone and incoherent speech, people will be stunned and stared at like a monkey.

What's more, except for being too lazy to speak, Ah Tan learns the rest of the things faster than the children next to him.

He doesn't speak, but he understands everything. The Son of Heaven also used tangram and nine links to test his cleverness. The Son of Heaven taught him once, and he was able to get started. After a few days he was getting into the game, and after a few more days he was tired of it—he did have a problem, lazy and easily bored.

The only thing he hasn't been tired of studying since he was born is probably Ruyi.

But why is he not bored with Ruyi, and the Son of Heaven is a little unintelligible - is it because they have a common language that only the two of them understand?

Obviously, Ruyi was 15 months younger, and Ruyi was already able to run and jump when Erlang was born, but when he got along with Ruyi, he always sent Ruyi around.

He raised his hand, and Ruyi took the initiative to give him the ball he was playing with. He pursed his lips, and he knew what he wanted to eat. He wanted to lie down, and Ruyi immediately helped him pat the pillow softly...... Sometimes Ruyi is not by his side, and the maids can't figure out why he is upset, so they will go to ask Ruyi.

When he could walk, he chased Ruyi all over the yard all day long. However, if you look closely, you will find that where you go and whether you go fast or slow, he is actually in charge. He was tired of playing, spoiled, Ruyi smiled and waited for him to catch up, if he was too lazy, she took the initiative to go back to him, and then the two held hands and walked slowly together.

Every time the Son of Heaven sees wishful people running around for him, he will feel that his son is like an elegant and lazy cat, looking like someone is raising him, but in fact he has domesticated people.

The Son of Heaven can faintly see that there are so many nurses and maids beside Ah Tan, but what he likes the most is actually Ruyi - Ten* is still because Ruyi is the closest age to him, it can't really be because they have a common language between them, right?

Originally, Ruyi was like a doll for Xu Si to raise to relieve boredom, which was not a burden, but it was still somewhat in the way. But since he had Atan, the Son of Heaven felt that Ruyi was still somewhat useful. After all, they grew up together, and she loved Ah Tan from the bottom of her heart and regarded him as her own brother. If anything, she will definitely protect Ah Tan desperately. This affection is even more reliable than the loyalty of a servant.

And Ruyi is a sister and not an elder brother, she will not compete with Ah Tan for anything, she is naturally useful and harmless to Ah Tan.

Of course, the Son of Heaven did not feel that his son was in need of wishful self-sacrifice. But having such a person on reserve is unlikely to be too much.

Realizing this, the Son of Heaven gradually became less indifferent to Ruyi. watched the two of them play together, and occasionally hugged Ruyi together on their knees, talking to the sisters and brothers with a pleasant face.

Xu Si was the closest person to the Son of Heaven and Ruyi, and she naturally noticed the change in the Son of Heaven's attitude towards Ruyi.

She knows a lot about the Son of Heaven, of course, she will not be naïve to feel that the Son of Heaven has become soft-hearted after having a son, and she loves the house and the Wu with herself, so she treats Ruyi kindly.

After all, he is a ruthless and selfish person who will marry his beloved woman to a thief in order to stabilize the situation.

Such a person cannot do anything out of pure love.

But she's not going to debunk it.

Ruyi is indeed a moth, and it is impossible for the Son of Heaven to love her from the bottom of his heart.

Because she is useful, she domesticates her intentionally or unintentionally, and guides her with purposeful love—this is simply in keeping with the character of the Son of Heaven.

For children who have nothing to do, false love is not much different from real indifference. The hateful thing about the former is that when it has already happened, and the child has tasted the joy of being noticed and loved, it is even more harmful for you to expose it.

Fortunately, the fake is always cheaper than the real thing, and the child himself will compare, choose and learn.

As long as she teaches Ruyi to be strong enough in her heart, when she is old enough to see through the truth, even if she suffers a blow, she will not be cynical because of it. That blow will only let her know what is worth it and what is not, and she will become smarter and stronger as a result.

Xu Si only loves and teaches Ruyi in his own way.

The second prince did not let the courtiers wait for three years.

Just as the courtiers were privately disturbing and comparing the eldest prince with the second prince to prove that the eldest prince was talented and extraordinary, the second prince finally spoke.
