Chapter 547: Mother and Son
To be honest, Zhang Fan really didn't expect that Empress Dowager Li would let him stay to comfort and comfort Zhu Yijun, this is not to say that Zhang Fan is unwilling, after all, he still attaches great importance to Zhu Yijun, even if Empress Dowager Li doesn't mention it, he will do it, but Zhang Fan didn't expect that Empress Dowager Li would mention it to him like this.
In other words, Zhang Fan didn't expect that Empress Dowager Li would be so straightforward and not tell him this matter in the slightest.
You must know that Zhu Yijun is the emperor after all, and the Empress Dowager Li is also the queen mother after all, as a royal person, and the most noble mother and son in the imperial family of the Ming Dynasty, the family relationship between them cannot be understood with a few simple words.
There are many things, even if the Empress Dowager Li wants to say something to Zhu Yijun in person, but because of their identity, many things can't be said, or they can't say it directly, not only because as the queen mother and the emperor, they have to take into account the royal etiquette, they also have to make such an appearance to show others, showing a majesty, although it sounds too tiring, but there is no way, they can only do this.
For Zhang Fanlai, entering the official career and his entry into the palace to teach Zhu Yijun are almost the same time, so over the years, he also understands the things between Zhu Yijun and the Empress Dowager Li, Empress Dowager Li is not like Longqing, Longqing is an emperor with real power, and he is also an emperor who does not need to be recognized by others, and is a somewhat arbitrary emperor, so his attitude towards Zhu Yijun is also quite casual.
But Empress Dowager Li is different, maybe because she is a woman's relationship, women have always been more right and wrong, whether in the palace or in the people, and at that time, several of Longqing's sons died, Zhu Yijun is his only son, and it will inevitably be Zhu Yijun who will inherit the unification in the future, and therefore, when Empress Dowager Li was the imperial concubine, she didn't need to play the intrigues and tricks that only existed in that set of dramas, she just needed to do a good job of being majestic and educate Zhu Yijun well.
Therefore, when Zhang Fan first contacted Empress Dowager Li, he could feel that she was also quite concerned about her son Zhu Yijun, but she would never put this concern on the surface, but put it all in her heart, and on the surface, she made a stern appearance, and any praise for Zhu Yijun was also very reasonable, but for any mistake of Zhu Yijun, it was definitely a severe accusation.
In this regard, Zhang Fan felt at first that Empress Dowager Li just couldn't let go of face, but in fact, she was also very concerned about Zhu Yijun in her heart, or it can be said that Empress Dowager Li looked forward to Zhu Yijun with a lot of things.
But in the face of Empress Dowager Li's cold attitude, over time, let alone Zhu Yijun herself, even Zhang Fan felt that she was a little too cold, it seemed that what she cared about was not Zhu Yijun, but whether Zhu Yijun would do her own thing and not let her lose face.
This emotion has always been in Zhang Fan's heart, until today, until just now, the words that Empress Dowager Li said to him made Zhang Fan suddenly realize, it turned out that Empress Dowager Li didn't dislike her son, but she couldn't put her feelings of liking him on the bright side.
Thinking about it this way, Zhang Fan felt that this matter was very reasonable, because it made him think of one thing, that is, Empress Dowager Li's attitude towards her second son, Zhu Yiyi, that is really holding it in the palm of her hand for fear of falling, and holding it in her mouth for fear of melting, it is completely a doting appearance, Zhang Fan originally thought that this was just a very normal situation, after all, parents love their younger sons more much.
But now, Zhang Fan feels that this is not the case, I am afraid that the Empress Dowager Li sees that Zhu Yijun is already on the throne, so Zhu Yijun can only be a carefree prince in the future, and for a prince, there is no need to be like the emperor, it is too conventional, and the most important thing is that the Empress Dowager Li wants to make up for the strictness of Zhu Yijun through her love for Zhu Yijun.
It's a little funny to say, Tonggui loves Zhu Yijun, to give Zhu Yijun a kind of compensation, and by the way to find her own mood, it sounds like a fantasy, but Zhang Fan thinks about it carefully, it's really like this, and he also thinks that this doesn't seem unreasonable.
But Zhang Fan is still worried about something else, you know, although he is not a woman, but he is also a person who has a child, and now, Luo Ling'er is also about to give birth, to be honest, although Zhang Fan still loves Yanyi and Yanyue very much, but he is more hopeful about the child who is still in Luo Ling'er's womb and has not yet come to the world.
Although he understands that this is human nature, Zhang Fan still thought of something else, especially for women, who likes to be emotional, who will know what kind of consequences Empress Dowager Li's doting on Zhu Yiyi will cause in the future, not to mention how pampered and domineering this Zhu Yiyi will be after becoming a prince in the future, let's just say that Empress Dowager Li, whether she will have any different thoughts in the future, no one can say for sure.
Zhang Fan was thinking about this issue, but it didn't take long, he didn't plan to worry about himself anymore, not to mention that he couldn't figure it out at all, besides, Zhu Yiyi was only a little over two years old now, and when he grew up to the time that Zhang Fan was worried about, it would be more than ten years later.
This is not that Zhang Fan has doubts about Zhu Yijun's ability, because some things are inevitable, by that time, Zhu Yijun will inevitably be pro-government and become an emperor with real power, at that time, no matter what Zhu Yijun has done wrong, or Empress Dowager Li's doting on Zhu Yijun has reached a depth that cannot be extricated, and it is absolutely impossible to change anything.
Thinking of this, Zhang Fan was relieved.
was thinking about these messy things in his heart, but Zhu Yijun came back and changed into a regular clothes, Zhu Yijun's face looked very ruddy because he had just bathed, but Zhang Fan could still see that Zhu Yijun's face still had some traces of whiteness through those blushes.
"Teacher, you haven't left yet," seeing that Zhang Fan was still there, Zhu Yijun looked very happy, and withdrew the eunuchs and palace maids around him, and when he and Zhang Fan were left in the room, Zhu Yijun's face once again appeared with that kind of self-pity.
"Your Majesty, but what troubles have you encountered," Zhang Fan asked knowingly when he saw his appearance.
"Teacher, Queen Mother...... Does the queen mother don't like me anymore," Zhu Yijun was silent for a long time, and asked such a sentence.
When Zhang Fan heard him ask, he secretly said "sure enough" in his heart, but there was a strange look on his face, and he said, "What did Your Majesty say, the Queen Mother is Your Majesty's biological mother, how can she hate Your Majesty?"
"But......" Zhu Yijun still seemed to be a little hesitant to tell Zhang Fan, but he thought about it and still said it, "Just now, the queen mother reprimanded me well, I ...... What I mean is that I really don't know about this matter today, although I made a decision that the ministers couldn't accept, but I didn't know in advance that this would happen, didn't I say, those who don't know are not guilty, why does the queen mother blame me so much?"
As he spoke, Zhu Yijun showed a sad expression on his face again, as if he had been wronged by something.
Zhang Fan naturally understands his mood, if he is an older person with more experience, he will not say anything when he encounters this kind of thing, after all, this kind of thing is too common in life or in the court, but Zhu Yijun is different, he is still a ten-year-old child after all, and he doesn't stay up all night for many people, obviously he feels that he is not wrong, but in fact he has not done anything wrong, but he has to be reprimanded by his mother, of course he will feel wronged.
"Your Majesty," Zhang Fan said, "that's the way it is, many times, people obviously don't do anything wrong, but they have to be blamed by others, which is actually nothing, there are many times, people just can't do anything because things can't be solved, they just want to find a place to vent, and that's the case with those ministers today."
"And the Queen Mother reprimanded Your Majesty, but it is different, after all, the Queen Mother and Your Majesty have special identities, and Your Majesty is still young, the Queen Mother is not only doing this for the sake of royal face, but also for educating Your Majesty, everything in the future must be planned and moved, think twice before acting, so that you can be foolproof,"
"But...... After all, she is my biological mother, why ......" Zhu Yijun still seems to be a little puzzled.
"Your Majesty," Zhang Fan smiled and said to Zhu Yijun, "Actually, the Queen Mother has always cared about Your Majesty,"
Seeing Zhu Yijun's look of disbelief, Zhang Fan changed his expression, as if he had made up a lot of determination, and said: "Weichen tell the truth to Your Majesty, Weichen stayed here and waited for Your Majesty, which is actually the order of the Queen Mother,"
"Queen Mother," hearing Zhang Fan's words, Zhu Yijun was puzzled.
"Yes," Zhang Fan nodded and said, "The Queen Mother really cares about Your Majesty, but it is inconvenient for the Queen Mother to say it to Your Majesty in person, so she has to use Weichen to say these words to Your Majesty, which shows that the Queen Mother's care for Your Majesty has not changed in the slightest,"
Hearing Zhang Fan say this, Zhu Yijun was silent, and for a long time, he raised his head and said to Zhang Fan: "Thank you, teacher,"
Seeing that Zhu Yijun had returned to his previous appearance, although it was not complete, Zhang Fan had already put his mind at ease.
