Although Empress Zhang looks gentle and virtuous, the history books record that she is very jealous, coupled with her lively and cheerful personality, she can comfort the soul of Zhu Youji, who grew up in the shadow of the palace struggle since childhood, so that the two have always been in love with each other and never give up.

But in herself, Empress Zhang is still a very capable woman, not only reflected in her husband's favor, but also the rights and interests she won for her mother's family, as well as her future assistance to Zhu Houzhao, welcome Emperor Jiajing to succeed to the throne, and so on.

Therefore, Shen Xi didn't dare to underestimate this woman, and he was still complimenting you abnormally at the moment, maybe he would reprimand him sharply when he turned around, and even condemned him.

Empress Zhang said with a smile: "Shen Qing's family has only learned well, and now he is a lecturer in the East Palace, and he has ascended to a high position as a young man, and he must be the object of the family's favor in the future...... Looking back, maybe Your Majesty will give Shen Qing's family a marriage. ”

The queen will not care about the marriage of a courtier for no reason, unless the queen has a suitable woman to marry him, but Shen Xi has not heard that the Zhang family still has a daughter to marry.

Shen Xi hurriedly said: "Back to the queen, the minister decided to marry when he was young, and now he has married him." ”

"Oh?"

When Empress Zhang heard this, she couldn't help but smile dumbly, "That's one more move in this palace, but think about it, the Shen Qing family's family must have high expectations for the Qing family, and hope to spread out as soon as possible, and now that the Shen Qing family has become famous, they can naturally enjoy the gentleness." ”

Shen Xi only agreed, and Empress Zhang said again, "The prince's studies have to be bothered by Shen Qing's family." ”

Finally got to the point!

Shen Xi knew that Empress Zhang should have something to say later.

Emperor Hongzhi had just punished the crown prince for Zhu Houzhao's trickery with Wang Wei, and now Zhu Youzhang's health is getting weaker and weaker, and cultivating an heir is more important than anything else, and the prince's studies have been raised to the top priority. Now that the prince is mischievous, Emperor Hongzhi has to comfort Wang Wei and other old lecturers to avoid their worries, and Empress Zhang is responsible for summoning Shen Xi, a young lecturer who makes the prince show his face.

Shen Xi saluted and said, "The minister must bow and do his best." ”

Empress Zhang waved her hand: "It's not necessary to do your best, it's just that the prince is ...... now It's too stubborn, His Majesty and Bengong want him to settle down earlier, but this kid ...... Born in the inner garden of the imperial palace, unlike the children of ordinary people, how can he understand the hardships of the emperor's family? ”

"This palace is not to embarrass Shen Qing's family, among the prince's gentlemen, only Shen Qing's family has the most heart of this palace, and Shen Qing's family still has a life-saving grace for the prince......"

Shen Xi saluted respectfully: "The minister doesn't dare to be." ”

"There are some things that can't be said to outsiders, Shen Qing's family is his own person, when the prince is seriously ill, the palace feels that there is nothing to love, and he can't go with him, and in the end, the prince turns the corner, and everyone else says that the prince has God's blessing, but if it is not for Shen Qing's family to offer medicine, even if it is blessed?"

When Empress Zhang said this, a little sadness appeared on her face, and her eyes turned red. It stands to reason that she, a queen, should not be so gaffe in front of her courtiers.

Shen Xi thought to himself, this is about Empress Zhang's means of winning over people, and she is very clever. Crying and complaining in front of him will make him feel that he has won the trust of the queen and redoubles his heart in doing things.

Shen Xi didn't dare to take credit for the matter of offering medicine, just like Xie Qian said, Emperor Hongzhi didn't want to publicize this matter, just forget the benefits in hand, and the emperor would not remember your merits because of this.

Empress Zhang wiped away her tears and sighed lightly: "Now that Shen Qing's family teaches the prince to read, he is stubborn and openly plays with fire in class. Shen Qing's family should always mention it, just like ordinary children, they don't need to study hard, they scold when they should scold, they can beat when they should beat, and they can't be forgiven because he is the prince. ”

"Shen Qing's family is from an ordinary family, and he should know the way Mr. disciplines his students, only a strict teacher can produce a high apprentice, can Shen Qing's family understand?"

To be honest, Shen Xi really didn't know what Empress Zhang meant by saying this.

said that it was okay to beat and scold, but this was not Queen Zhang's original intention, Shen Xi knew how much Empress Zhang doted on Zhu Houzhao's son, and even she was reluctant to do so, but she asked her husband to beat her, which was obviously wrong.

Shen Xi said: "The minister thinks that to teach the prince well, it is not advisable to beat and scold. ”

"Oh?"

Empress Zhang really came to be interested immediately.

Maybe Zhu Youzhi confessed that "Huangjing Tiaozi is a good person", and it belonged to the content that she had to explain to Shen Xi, but she was reluctant in her heart, "Shen Qing's family will listen to it." ”

Shen Xi Zhengse said: "The minister thinks that the prince is talented and intelligent, and he is more talented than the children of ordinary people, but God has given the prince wisdom, but the prince has not used it in learning." It is better to focus on enlightenment. ”

Empress Zhang shook her head and smiled bitterly: "If you can enlighten, why do you need to worry about Your Majesty and the palace?" ”

Shen Xi said: "The prince is active by nature, but not stubborn, the reason why the prince does not study well is all due to the connivance of the people around him, if the queen removes all the people who serve the prince and lets the prince be alone, it may make the prince's personality change." ”

"Huh?"

Empress Zhang didn't understand Shen Xi's words, "Remove the prince's attendants, who will take care of the prince's daily life?" She lives in Kunning Palace, and she can't go to the East Palace every day to visit her son, but after all, Zhu Houzhao has already left the pavilion and has to live in separate mansions like an adult, and then receive all kinds of imperial education.

Until now, Empress Zhang felt that there were fewer people to take care of by the prince's side, but Shen Xi said that she couldn't accept the removal of the attendants from the East Palace.

Shen Xi thought to himself, your son is stubborn, and it is completely your parents who spoiled him...... You removed the people around him and saw who he played with on weekdays? When he thinks it's boring to be alone, doesn't he have to go to school obediently?

Shen Xi said: "You can find one or two old palace maids to take care of it." ”

If you send a few old eunuchs over, these old eunuchs are extremely shrewd, and they will definitely continue to try their best to coax the prince to play for the sake of solid pets, but if they change a few old palace maids, even if they have the heart, they don't have the energy and physical strength.

Empress Zhang thought about it and didn't directly refuse, but obviously she thought it was inappropriate.

Empress Zhang's face was a little serious, and at this point, she felt that there was no need to hide the purpose of summoning Shen Xi in a roundabout way:

"Shen Qing's family, the prince's studies are important, but morality is the foundation of self-cultivation, yesterday the prince suddenly was rude to Bachelor Wang, do you know?"

Shen Xi thought to himself, is this to blame me? He replied immediately: "The minister has heard of it? ”

Empress Zhang said: "Bachelor Wang always said in front of His Majesty that you are not, thinking that you will only teach the prince to have fun, first say to promote weaving, and then recommend Keju, the prince is addicted to Keju these days, and in the long run, he is only afraid that he has no intention of learning." Shen Qing's family, since you are a minister, you can't always teach him how to have fun in order to coax the prince! ”

Shen Xi could feel the reproach in Empress Zhang's tone, was this to give herself a sweet date first, and then a stick? Shen Xi only agreed.

Empress Zhang smiled, "But this palace can understand the Shen Qing family, you are not very old, and you thought that you had the same situation as the prince when you were a child, but the Shen Qing family has a strict family education, so you will not go astray." But the prince is different from the children of ordinary families, if it is Shen Qing's family...... If you are willing to pass on your knowledge, the prince will definitely make a difference in the future......"

Speaking of which, it was all a matter of the prince's studies, and Shen Xi felt that Empress Zhang clearly had something to say.

Perhaps the queen felt that the reason why he was able to give the prince a few lessons and let the prince show his face in front of the ministers was because of his high level of talent and learning, and since then the prince's studies have stagnated, but because he deliberately hides his knowledge. Shen Xixin said that this is really wronging me, I just taught the prince in a stereotypical way according to Wang Wei's instructions, as for learning well or not, it is not a question of the prince's comprehension, but whether the prince is willing to learn.

Shen Xi said: "The minister should do his best. ”

At this time, apart from showing his attitude, Shen Xi had nothing else to say.

Empress Zhang talked for a long time, a little tired, took a sip of tea, but a palace maid came in and played: "Queen Mother, the old lady please come over ......"

In the palace, there is no title of "old lady", but Shen Xi knows that the old lady in the mouth of the palace maid is Queen Zhang's biological mother. After Zhang Luan died, Empress Zhang was afraid that her mother would be lonely and lonely at home, so she took her mother to live in the palace, as if she regarded her mother as the queen mother.

"Got it."

Empress Zhang got up and glanced at Shen Xi, but sighed again, as if she was not very satisfied with Shen Xi's answer, and finally she just confessed and asked a few eunuchs to help Shen Xi deliver the gifts to the palace gate, and she went to see her mother surrounded by palace maids.

After asking the name of Shen Xi's neighborhood, several eunuchs accompanied Shen Xi from Donghua Gate and Dongshang Gate out of the palace.

There were special eunuchs in front to guide the way, and a few eunuchs with gifts followed behind, Shen Xi always wanted to find a chance to talk to Shen Mingyou, but he couldn't find a chance, until he got out of Dong'anmen, several eunuchs wanted to put down the gifts and go back to the palace, but looked around and found that Shen Xi came to the palace alone and couldn't take the gifts away at all.

"Oh, it's troublesome now, the things rewarded by the queen can't be placed on the ground at will, that's disrespectful! Someone, go find a carriage for Lord Shen and help Shen Xi send things back to the house. ”

Wanting to rent a carriage near the palace was tantamount to a dream, the eunuchs were busy, Shen Xi wanted to take the opportunity to talk to Shen Mingyou, but Shen Mingyou didn't give him a chance.

Shen Xi probably understood.

It is estimated that Shen Ming is different from the past, and he feels shameless to see the Shen family again, even if he knows that Shen Xi is now the top student in high school, he has no idea of contacting Shen Xi.

Shen Xi was not reluctant, since Shen Ming pretended to be nothing, it would be inappropriate for him to force it again...... Now that he has entered the palace, Shen Mingyou must have been cleansed, and now Shen Xi is a man with a family and a room, so he naturally knows how miserable a castrated man is! I just don't know if Shen Mingyou actively or passively accepted the fate of entering the palace as a eunuch?

If you are forced, it is really miserable!

"Shou Ninghou is here? Say hello to Master Hou. ”

Just when Shen Xi was waiting for the eunuch at the gate of the palace to look for the carriage, Zhang Heling strode to the outside of Dong'an Gate, and when he saw Shen Xi, Zhang Heling smiled and arched his hand: "Shen Zhongyun entered the palace to teach the prince?" ”

Shen Xi couldn't say that the queen invited him, but this day was not the day he taught the prince, so he could only bow his hand and salute, but he didn't answer Zhang Heling's question.

Zhang Heling looked at the gifts in the hands of the eunuchs, probably understood something, smiled slightly, with a little arrogance in his smile, and then entered the palace. Shen Xi shook his head slightly, and when he looked sideways, he saw Shen Ming looking at Zhang Heling's back, with a bit of hatred in his eyes.

Could it be that the second uncle ended up in this situation because of Zhang Heling?

But an old eunuch next to him was still smiling, chattering: "Shou Ning Hou has entered the palace again, this Ming uncle, who can be so favored as Shou Ning Hou?" This palace gate is like his own door. Every time Master Hou enters the palace, I can't wait for the benefits! ”
