14, the princess's academic plans
Although Concubine You had already put forward her opinion, Mama Kong still wrote late at night that night, and the next day, after teaching the etiquette course normally,
When everyone was about to disperse, Mama Kong left the queen: "Queen, please stay."
When the queen saw her stop herself, her eyes were a little cold: "What's the matter with Mama Kong?" ”
Mama Kong paused, "Regarding the princess's teaching, the old slave thought about it for a long time last night, and discussed it with the queen."
The queen heard her say this, thought about it: "It's okay", seeing the queen nodding, Zhao Yuzhen and Zhao Yuli sisters went back to the dormitory after saluting, they wanted to wait for the queen to come back and ask some private words, so it was better to eat in Xinuan Pavilion.
There was no one in the teaching pavilion for a while, Zhu Bi helped the queen to sit down on the couch behind the bamboo curtain, the queen signaled to bring a round stool to Mama Kong, Mama Kong made a move, but she was not in a hurry to sit down: "Queen Mother, yesterday the old slave young from the queen's point of view for the princess's sake, what he said seems to be reasonable but there is little human warmth, the old slave is shallow, apologize to the queen and the princess." ”
The queen did not refuse, and replied casually: "It's okay", "Does Mama want to discuss the issue of the princess's teaching with the palace?" Sit down. ”
Mama Kong nodded yes, no longer twisted, and sat on the small stool.
"After that, the old slave intends to teach etiquette and female popularity, supplemented by cooking, flower arrangement, pot throwing, juju, and arithmetic.
When the queen heard this, her eyes lit up, "Who does Mama want to explain this kind of men's general education course?" ”
Mama Kong said: "I hope that the princesses can work with the prince to accept the master's teaching." ”
"The princesses and the crown prince are too different in age, how can they go to class together?" The queen's eyebrows furrowed.
"Only the Mengxue course is taken together, this kind of course is not difficult to understand, such as with the knowledgeable female officer on the side to help the student, after class to help the princess solve her doubts, I think I can keep up with the progress."
The empress nodded: "However, this matter will be determined after I discuss it with the emperor." The queen thought for a while, and then asked, "Does Mama still want the princesses to change the fate of women in the world?" ”
Mama Kong smiled: "Press it for the time being, but I don't know if the queen is willing to listen carefully to the content of the course I set up for the princesses?" ”
The queen smiled: "You go slowly."
Mama Kong took out what she had written last night, and Zhu Bi stepped forward to take it and handed it to the queen.
"What the old slave thinks about is all this, but the course is hard, and the fireworks are also very strong, whether to teach like this, please let the queen decide." After the queen took it, she first swept it roughly, "It's interesting, it's not just about letting the princesses wash their hands and make soup, make a fire, and stir-fry vegetables."
There are, oh, sewing clothes too. ”
Mama Kong nodded: "There are things that ordinary women do to run a family, there are also arithmetic that must be taught by merchants' families, and there are also national roads that men want to learn."
The queen smiled: "Mama Kong's plans are very big, it seems that she has not given up what she wants in her heart", Mama Kong heard this, she couldn't help but sweat behind her, and listened to the queen continue: "Okay, the princesses in the class must have feelings, how to do it, they decide."
Seeing off the queen, Mama Kong retreated with the new little girl, and as soon as she returned to Canghai Pavilion, she saw the concubine feeding the fish outside the pavilion again.
Concubine You smiled and asked, "How?" ”
Mama Kong said: "As you expected, although the Mengxue course with the prince still needs the emperor's approval, the queen basically accepted the teaching arrangement", "It's just that I am very emotional, the queen actually accepted what these civilian women have to do, it may be as you expected, the queen is not easy to be young."
Concubine You nodded: "This is natural, but it is true that the queen herself is not an arrogant person, and it is true that she really thinks about the princess" She fed the fish again, "It is a respectable woman, if it is not for the current embarrassing situation and the future is difficult to understand, I am really willing to be friends with her."
Mama Kong took the fish food in her hand, "Don't feed it, these fish are fat enough", "I'll do a good job of teaching, and I can do my part."
Concubine You nodded: "Mama has worked hard." ”
The queen talked with Mama Kong for a long time, and when she returned to Xinuan Pavilion, Zhao Yuzhen and Zhao Yuli had already eaten a bowl of bird's nest soup each, and waited for the queen to sit down before having lunch together. After the meal, the three of them sat in front of the window drinking fragrant tea and gossiping, and the queen asked Zhu Bi to take the book written by Mama Kong and show it to the two. There are too many words, and the two of them pick the key points to read, and Zhao Yuli is still impatient to read so many words, and they are even more rough.
"Why does Mama want us to light the fire and cook the vegetables? Do you want to tailor and make clothes? Do you still have to learn arithmetic? Do you want to go to my brother's school office to take a Mongolian school class together? Zhao Yuzhen's mouth pouted, "The courses are many and trivial, and it is also interesting to arrange flowers, juju, and throw pots", the queen smiled: "You wish it was all about playing, Xiao Yuli, do you like these classes?" ”
Zhao Yuli nodded: "It's not all about etiquette, it's fun to burn fires and vegetables, it's fun to tailor and make clothes, my father said that arithmetic is very useful, Yuli also wants to learn, and Keju is also very interesting, I have long wanted to ride a pony, and my brother is here in the pot and Mengxue, so it's best to play with my brother." ”
The queen listened to her slowly milky voice, and her eyes bent unconsciously, "The queen mother also finds it interesting, and has basically promised Mama to teach you according to these contents, but the lessons of Mengxue still have to wait for your father to agree, and the queen mother has asked the palace people to ask your father, and it is estimated that there will be a response soon." ”
The queen expected it well, and the palace people quickly replied: "The emperor is willing, and the master has already called to speak." ”
The queen nodded, "In this way, the content of the lecture is decided, and you can teach the class like this."
Zhao Yuli tilted his head and asked: "Didn't Mama say before that she wanted to find justice for the women of the world and let us set an example in words and deeds, do we still have to do this?" ”
The queen smiled: "Do we want to do it?" ”
Zhao Yuli nodded: "I want to fight for justice for my mother, I don't want my mother to stay in the cold palace all the time, and she doesn't even have a chance to speak."
The queen touched her little face: "We miss our mother?" ”
Zhao Yuli nodded, looking at her drooping little head, the queen smiled, "Then take everyone's lunch break, hurry up and go to see, Yuzhen is not going today, you and your mother will talk more."
Zhao Yuli raised his head excitedly, "Great, I'll go!" ”
Zhao Yuzhen pouted, "I want to go too." ”
"You go next time, this time Yuli will go by herself, just a little, Zhu Bi is also together, when will you come back, listen to Zhu Bi." The queen said to her.
Zhao Yuli hurriedly nodded, "Then I'll go now, Mama Zhu Bi, go quickly!" ”
Hearing that she was anxious, the queen and Zhu Bi both laughed, and Zhu Bi replied to her: "Okay, princess, I'll be fine", while neatly putting the uneaten snacks into the food box, and at the same time telling the little palace maid to run to the dining room to get food.
After finishing it, Zhu Bi followed Zhao Yuli through the small garden and went to the cold palace through the back door.
