Chapter 3: Arithmetic Genius
Lu Yao is in Concubine Shun's palace these days, and his relationship with his younger brother Lu Yuan is getting better and better. For this young brother, Lu Yao loves him very much.
On this day, Lu Yuan went out to play. Although Lu Yuan is not the crown prince, as a prince, when he goes out, there are still a large number of palace maids and eunuchs who follow.
Therefore, Concubine Shun and Lu Yao were not worried. Concubine Shun has been in her eldest daughter's body for a while, she has taken care of Lu Yao wholeheartedly, and Lu Yao has been moved by this meticulous maternal care.
Concubine Shun said to Lu Yao, "Yao'er, Concubine Mother knows that you don't like Ling Gongzi. In fact, although it is rumored outside that Ling Gongzi is so good, in fact, the mother concubine doesn't like him either. The queen has always disliked our mother and son, and you can't get any benefits if you marry into her maiden family. ”
"However, the princess of our Yu Kingdom is either married to such a big family, or married to a neighboring country. Like your two royal sisters, the eldest princess, and the second princess are all married to other countries, the eldest princess is better, and when she becomes the queen, the second princess is just a concubine, and I heard that it is also very difficult. ”
Lu Yao was a little speechless, this body was only fourteen years old, in his previous life, he was only a junior high school student, and now he was going to talk about marriage. There is no way, the world is like this.
Concubine Shun looked silent, Lu Yao sighed and said: "You are so beautiful, even better than when I was young, and you are getting more and more beautiful, if this is in the people, it is the root cause of causing trouble, fortunately, you were born in the royal family, as a princess, beauty, identity, and dowry are all bargaining chips for your glory." However, you must know that in this palace, there are many children of your father. The prince didn't say anything, and there were more than a dozen princesses. Although you are beautiful and favored by your father, you are always so silent, and it is not good to be too introverted. ”
"The palace is such a place, if you don't fight, you will be trampled under your feet."
Lu Yao frowned.
At this time, a palace maid ran in and said, "Concubine Shun, it's not good, the little prince went out and fell into the water, but fortunately he was rescued and has been sent back, and the imperial doctor is also here." ”
Concubine Shun was taken aback and hurriedly followed the princess outside. Lu Yao was also taken aback, this younger brother, she still likes it very much, she is busy and runs outside, when she runs, she feels that this kind of palace dress similar to the dress of the Tang Dynasty in the previous life, the hem of the skirt is too long, but it looks very luxurious, but it is also very inconvenient.
Lu Yao had no choice but to carry his skirt and run to the main hall, where a group of people were already around.
Lu Yao took a look, and Concubine Shun was already crying there again. Lu Yuan was drenched in water, his little face was like white paper, but his expression was very calm, and he was still there to comfort Concubine Shun.
It seems that this is still not a big deal. Lu Yao breathed a sigh of relief. However, seeing that Concubine Shun only knew how to cry, she couldn't help frowning and said: "Mother, don't cry, first invite the imperial doctor to come over to show my brother, and ask the palace maids to quickly change my brother's clothes, although it is spring, but it is still a little cold in the past two days, and wearing soaked clothes is not good for the body." ”
After hearing her daughter say this, Concubine Shun reacted and hurriedly asked someone to do what Lu Yao said. As a result, Lu Yao couldn't help but roll his eyes, his cheap mother really didn't have any talent.
Lu Yao could only open his mouth and order, this one went to get the clothes, that one went to call the imperial doctor, and that one went to the hot water to come over.
After Lu Yao's assignment, it was organized all of a sudden, and after a while, the imperial doctor also came, Lu Yuan's clothes were also changed, and he also drank hot water, and the imperial doctor prescribed medicine, so naturally someone went to decoct the medicine, and after a while, the medicine was also drunk.
Lu Yao asked Lu Yuan about the situation carefully, and called the people who followed Lu Yuan out to come and ask.
Only then did I know that Lu Yuan was beaten by the son of Concubine Ning, who was close to the queen mother in the palace, and pushed into the pond. Fortunately, the water in the pond was very shallow, so there was no problem.
Hearing this, Concubine Shun and Lu Yao were very angry. However, Concubine Shun was angry for a while, and she didn't dare to scold, but said: "This is the case in the palace, I have long been unfavored, and the queen doesn't like me, my mother's family is also an ordinary official eunuch, and the biggest official is just a fourth grade, and you are all angry with me." ”
Lu Yao understood, this is a world of the jungle, in the palace, it is difficult to be alone. In this way, you have to find a way to change your life.
Right now, Concubine Shun's situation needs to be improved, her marriage needs to be improved, and her younger brother needs to be taken care of. However, Concubine Shun's maiden family can't be pointed to, and Concubine Shun is also old, so she can't compare to those young girls. The only way to do that is to be on your own.
The next day, Lu Yao made up his mind, got up early in the morning, and asked the palace maid to dress up for himself. Looking in the mirror, Lu Yao sighed again. In this life, this appearance really satisfies her, if it is left in the previous life, she will be successful in the election of Miss World.
After Lu Yao dressed up, she took people to the Qinzheng Palace to meet her father, the owner of this palace.
This is the method that Lu Yao thought about all night and came up with, that is, to make his father pay attention to himself, so that his power is enhanced, so that no one can bully his mother and son.
When she arrived outside the Qinzheng Palace, she waited respectfully, and the great eunuch went to pay her respects. All I heard was a roar inside, and the sound of books falling. Lu Yao couldn't help but think, hey, it's really not the right time to come, it seems that his father is angry. Didn't you say you were watching the folds before? It can be seen that this is a compromise, and there is something that makes my father angry.
Just thinking about it here, the big eunuch came out with a smile and said to Lu Yao: "Princess Rongqing, the emperor invites you in." ”
Lu Yao hurriedly smiled at the big eunuch and said, "Thank you, father-in-law." ”
Only then did he enter the Qinzheng Palace. I saw that the room was full of twists and turns, and there were several books on the ground, and the emperor was losing his temper there. Lu Yao hurriedly knelt down and saluted.
When the emperor saw his flowery daughter, he was in a better mood and said, "Let's be even." You're not in good health, don't be so polite, I've been too busy these days, and I don't have time to visit you, are you okay? ”
Lu Yao hurriedly said: "Thank you for your concern, my daughter is much better, my daughter is not filial, and my tired father is worried." ”
The emperor said, "As long as you are well." ”
Lu Yao's eyes rolled and asked, "Father seems to have lost his temper before, but who made Father angry?" ”
The emperor smiled and said, "Yes, I am angry, none of these ministers are worry-free. I can't finish reading these pieces every day, and I can't finish them, as well as the matter of repairing the river, the disaster relief, so much money and food, how can I calculate it clearly, so I don't want to watch it angrily. ”
Only then did Lu Yao understand. It can be seen that before, what the palace maids whispered was true, his father was a person who was greedy for pleasure, in fact, he was able to be mediocre and impatient to manage these major affairs of the court.
Lu Yao smiled, squatted on the ground, picked up the folds one by one, and couldn't help but sigh "huh" when he saw the last one opened.
The emperor still loved his daughter very much, and said, "What's the matter? But the body is uncomfortable, just ask the palace maids to do it, you are a princess, golden branches and jade leaves, where are you doing this? ”
Lu Yao smiled and said, "Father, there is nothing wrong with the child's body. I'm just a little weird, I just stumbled upon a glance at this one, and it's a bit wrong. ”
The emperor was a little strange, picked up the fold and saw that it was the minister's report on the disaster relief money and grain, and he didn't see anything for a long time, and asked, "What's wrong with this?" ”
Lu Yao hesitated a little and said: "Father, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, it is the ancestral system, the child didn't want to see the twists and turns, but I saw it inadvertently." ”
The emperor said: "But it doesn't hurt to say, you are not a palace concubine, you are my daughter, a princess of Yu Kingdom." ”
Lu Yao had no choice but to say: "My daughter thinks that this is a compromise, and these money and food figures are not right." ”
The emperor was a little surprised and asked, "In such an instant, you can see that this number is not right?" ”
Lu Yao nodded.
The emperor couldn't believe it, so he called the eunuch who was the best at settling accounts in the palace to come over, and asked the eunuch to calculate it in person, and at the same time, he also let Lu Yao watch the recital and calculate it again.
As a result, Lu Yao figured it out all at once, but the eunuch took the abacus and calculated it for a long time. As a result, it was the same as Lu Yao's.
At this moment, the emperor was very happy, he laughed and said: "I have said a long time ago, Yao'er is a smart child, but she is introverted and doesn't like to talk, she can be so beautiful, how can she not have a glass heart?" Sure enough, my Yao'er is an arithmetic genius. ”
Lu Yao smiled. Such a simple math problem, just addition and subtraction, not even multiplication and division, put it in the previous life, any elementary school student can calculate it. What kind of arithmetic genius is this?
However, it is a good thing to be able to please your father, and you came here by yourself, wasn't it originally to please your father?
The emperor thought for a while, and finally made up his mind and said, "Yao'er, you can't waste such a talent in vain. In this way, in the future, you will come to the Qinzheng Palace every day to help your father see the excerpts. These recitals are not very good for the eunuchs to see, and it is not good for the ministers to see. After all, they are all outsiders. However, you are my princess, not an outsider. You see, I am most relieved. ”
As soon as he said this, Lu Yao and the people in the hall were stunned.
Lu Yao said: "Father, this is not appropriate, right? The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, how can the daughter come to help her father watch the twists and turns? ”
The emperor was resolute and said: "Why not, you are not a harem, you are my biological daughter, the princess of Yu Kingdom, the royal bloodline, the golden branches and jade leaves, this world is the world of our Lu family, you are not an outsider." That's it. Yao'er, you work harder in the future, so that I can relax a little. It's a call to make the best use of one's talents. I am eclectic and make good use of talents. ”
After speaking, the emperor was very complacent.
Lu Yao was speechless, so he could only agree.
