The princes of the Ming and Qing dynasties lived in the east of the Forbidden City, which was established by Zhu Di based on the "Zhou Li" and the theory of the five elements of yin and yang, that is, the outer court handled government services for the emperor and courtiers, and the inner court was used for the daily life of the emperor's family members. As the residence of the prince of the Ming Dynasty, it is in the east of the Forbidden City, because the east is "called green" in the five elements of yin and yang, implying the meaning of all things in spring, so this is the area where the prince lives.

The prince's east palace is a building complex, with more than 300 rooms of all sizes, the main building is the prince's dormitory, the Duanben Palace, and the Wenhua Palace, where the prince studies and works. More than a dozen princes of the Ming Dynasty and the crown prince of Kangxi, Yinren, lived here, but after Yinren was abolished, it was no longer a separate palace for the prince. Emperor Yongzheng's secret crown prince was Prince Bao Hongli, but he never lived alone in the East Palace, but shared it with his brothers. A few years later, when Hongli's status as the crown prince was consolidated, he moved out of the East Palace and moved to the "Qianxi Second Institute" in the northwest of the Forbidden City, which was named the "Qianlong Residence" Chonghua Palace after Qianlong's accession to the throne.

And the East Palace here in the Qing Dynasty Qianlong 11 years to rebuild several halls into three palaces, still for the prince to live, this is now the Forbidden City in the south three.

The East Palace is close to the east of the Forbidden City, and Qian Yiai is located in the West City, but there is no way, the waist card given to him by the emperor has to enter the imperial city from Dong'an Gate, and Qian Yiai can only bypass most of Beijing City to go to Dong'anmen.

When you arrive at Dong'anmen, you will go inside to the imperial city, and the people are not allowed to enter here.

Qian Yiai is a frequent visitor in the palace, and he is still the teacher of the emperor's eldest grandson, and the brocade guard guarding the door naturally recognizes this adult, but how can this good-looking adult have two scars on his face today?

Today's guard is a hundred households, seeing Qian Yiai like this, it can't help but be a little funny, it seems that this Qian adult's family is not quiet, it should be that he and his wife just came out of a fight.

Qian Yiai looked at the hundred households with a smile on his face, and quickly explained: "The scars on the face are scratched by the cat at home!" ”

Can that brocade guard speak, nodded again and again to show understanding.

Entering the imperial city is the palace city, the palace city and the Dong'an Gate correspond to the Donghua Gate, the brocade guards guarding the door here have the same expression as just now, there is no way to Qian Yiai can only explain again.

Entering the Donghua Gate is considered to be officially entering the Forbidden City, Qian Yiai entered the Jinshui River under the leadership of the eunuch and came to the gate of the Wenhua Palace.

Today, the prince doesn't have any government affairs, and he doesn't have any classes to attend, so it's quiet here, and Li Mi, the chief housekeeper of the East Palace, is waiting for Qian Yi's love here.

Li Mi had a good relationship with Qian Yiai because he interceded for him in front of the prince a few years ago, and he has a big deal to say about waiting for Qian Yiai here today.

Li Mi saw Qian Yiai coming, stepped forward and said anxiously: "Lord Qian, you are here, go in and have a look!" The master wants to punish the emperor's eldest grandson! ”

Qian Yiai knew that the prince didn't like this eldest son very much, but why did he punish him?

"Grandpa Li, why is this?"

Li Mi had something in his heart just now, and he didn't look at Qian Yiai carefully, but now he can see the scars on Qian Yiai's face clearly.

Although Li Mi is a eunuch, he is also a human spirit, and he can tell what this scar is at a glance!

"Lord Qian, what's wrong with your face?"

Qian Yiai hurriedly covered it with his sleeve and said, "It's nothing, I was scratched by a cat!" ”

Li Mi couldn't help but smile and said, "I see, do we need any injury medicine in our family?" ”

"There's no need for that, let's ask Gonggong Li to tell me why the emperor's eldest grandson is being punished!"

Li Mi only then remembered something important, and hurriedly said: "This morning, the two emperors and grandsons are reviewing their homework, I don't know why the emperor's eldest grandson fought against the emperor's second grandson, and finally the little master was also alarmed, and the old slave saw that the young master had to punish the emperor's eldest grandson, so he came out to wait for Lord Qian!" Mr. Qian, let's get in! ”

Qian Yiai followed Li Mi through the Wenhua Palace, and came to the Duanben Palace, the prince's dormitory, and heard Zhu Hai shouting and scolding Zhu Shengduo before he entered.

"Zhu Shengduo, you say! Why did you beat your brother? ”

Qian Yiai walked into the house and saw the crown prince Zhu Hai sitting in the center with an angry face, and two officials sitting on the left hand side. At the age of more than forty years, with a long beard, it was Zhu Shengyu's teacher Hou Fangyu. Sitting below Hou Fangyu is Qian Yuai's old rival, Xia Wanchun, the head of the East Palace.

There were two children kneeling on the ground in the middle of the house, led by a little black fat man, who was looking at the prince Zhu Hai with an angry face. The other is very beautiful, with a slender body and a handsome appearance, and it is Zhu Shengyu, the second son who inherited the excellent genes of the Ma family. But now Zhu Shengyu is a little embarrassed, the clothes on his body are covered with mud, he can't see the pattern clearly, and the corners of his face and mouth are blue, it seems that he has suffered a loss this time.

Zhu Hai saw Qian Yiai enter the house and said, "It's just that Zigao is here, look at the good students you teach!" Now it's even going to hit someone! ”

Qian Yiai walked into the house unhurriedly, first gave Zhu Hai a salute, and then gave a half salute to Hou Fangyu opposite. Although Hou Fangyu is about the same age as him, Hou Fangyu is older than Qian Yiai, and he still needs to have the respect he deserves.

Hou Fangyu also hurriedly stood up and returned the salute, but Xia Wanchun, who was beside him, saw that Qian Yiai directly ignored him, and glared angrily at Qian Yiai.

Qian Yiai sat down on Zhu Hai's right hand after saluting, and then asked unhurriedly, "May I ask why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince punished my students?" ”

Zhu Hai pointed at Zhu Shengyu and said, "Second brother, you say!" Why did your brother beat you? (There are only two masters in the palace of the Ming Dynasty, one is the emperor, the other is the prince and the prince is called the little master, and the others, whether they are the prince or the grandson, are all called brothers!) ）

Zhu Shengyu, who was crying at this time, brought rain, heard his father ask himself, and quickly stopped crying and said: "Father, today Erchen went to the classroom to review his homework as usual, my brother arrived first, and my son said a few words to my brother at the beginning, I don't know that that sentence made my brother dissatisfied, my brother stood up and beat Erchen, and Erchen couldn't prevent being beaten like this by my brother!" Please let your father call the shots for your sons! Woo woo woo ... ”

Qian Yiai listened to Zhu Shengyu say what happened, and said unhurriedly: "Your Highness, this is just a fight between children, why make a fuss?" ”

Qian Yiai's words made Hou Fangyu on the other side, of course you can say whatever you want if your students are not beaten.

Hou Fangyu arched his hand and said: "Your Highness, the eldest grandson is so stubborn, it is the teacher's teaching that is not good!" ”

Qian Yiai saw that Hou Fangyu was coming by himself, and said with a smile: "How does Brother Chao think that it is not good to teach below? ”

"The eldest grandson is only seven years old this year, what does he know at a young age? It must be you, the teacher's daily misconduct, that made the eldest grandson so stubborn! ”

Qian Yiai did not answer Hou Fangyu's accusation, but said to Zhu Shengduo: "Zhu Shengduo, recite the fifth sentence of the Three Character Sutra!" ”

When his teacher spoke, Zhu Shengduo hurriedly memorized the fifth sentence of the Three Character Sutra. "It is the fault of the father to raise or not to teach; If the teaching is not strict, the teacher is lazy. This means that it is the fault of parents who only provide food and clothing for their children and do not educate them well. It's just education, but not being strict is the laziness of being a teacher.

Qian Yiai means that now that the child has become like this, the main responsibility is your prince's problem, not the teacher's problem. Hou Fangyu saw that Qian Yiyi threw the pot to the prince, so naturally he couldn't accuse the prince of doing something wrong, so he had no choice but to sulk himself.

Xia Wanchun has been dealing with Qian Yiai for a long time, knowing that this guy can be cunning if he ignores it, seeing that Hou Fangyu has nothing to say, Xia Wanchun continued: "Education is to let children understand etiquette, know honesty and shame, and let children be brothers and sisters to become equal inside and out!" Qian Yi loves you with traces of wind and moon, but you come to educate the emperor and grandson, do you still want to be shameless? ”

When Qian Yiai entered the house just now, everyone saw the scars on his face, but the atmosphere in the room was depressed at that time, and everyone didn't bother to care about Qian Yiai's mess. But Xia Wanchun said it now, which made Qian Yiai very angry.

Qian Yiai is very simple when he gets angry, and when others say it, you Xia Wanchun still have the face to say me? Xia Wanchun's wife's name is Qian Qinzhen, and she is also a female man with an extremely strong temperament. Qian Qinzhen's father Qian Yanlin is a very famous talent in Jiashan, and his personality is bold, he actively participated in the anti-Qing Dynasty when he died, and was generous after being caught by the Qing army, Xia Wanchun's mother-in-law Xu did not want to live alone after getting the news, and also dived into the water to be martyred. Xia Wanchun's two uncles were also pioneers of the anti-Qing Dynasty, among which the eldest brother Qian Xifeng was executed by the Manchus with his father, and the second uncle Qian Mo escaped because of his young age.

Qian Qinzhen's family style is so natural and strong, and Xia Wanchun studied under Chen Zilong, the third son of Yunjian, and naturally learned the teacher's graceful and suave, and when he was in Nanjing, he made a fuss about Xia Wanchun visiting a brothel and being blocked by his wife Qian Qinzhen and beaten up.

Today, Qian Yiai saw that you Xia Wanchun was shameless and said that I went to the Fengyue place, so she stood up angrily and scolded: "Xia Wanchun, you bastard, why don't you say that you were blocked by the Qian family and ran away, but said that Lao Tzu didn't come?" ”

Xia Wanchun was originally at odds with Qian Yiai, but now when he heard him scold himself, he couldn't control it, and he stood up and opened his hands to strangle Qian Yiai. Qian Yiai is also a literati who has experienced a hundred battles, and when he saw that Xia Wanchun was about to make a move, he also stood up and prepared to fight.

Zhu Hai, who was sitting in the middle, saw what was going on? Why did the teacher fight again just after the student just finished fighting? Zhu Hai was so angry that his face turned white, and he said to Li Mi beside him: "What are you doing stupidly, why don't you go find a few people to come in and separate the two gentlemen?" ”

Li Mi then went out to find four eunuchs to come in and separate the two guys who were teachers.

Zhu Hai had a headache when he saw this, and was about to speak, when he saw a palace beauty rushing in outside, and as soon as he entered the house, he hugged Zhu Shengyu and cried bitterly!

"My son! Who is so ruthless to beat you like this? For your mother, you must be angry! ”

Zhu Hai saw that it was his wife, the crown princess Ma Ning'er, who came in. Seeing this, Zhu Hai couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he was cautious, and he was afraid to come back every day to take care of these short things in the parents. Thinking of this, Zhu Hai couldn't help but have a headache.
