Chapter 3 Yangcheng Secret Whistle?
The childhood life of worry-free food and clothing is always beautiful, if it is brocade clothes and jade food, then even if the gods are afraid of the gods, they have to envy a few points, since the arrest of Zhou, Li Zhen's small life is very moist, clothes to stretch out their hands, food to open their mouths, there are people waiting for everything, not to mention how cool it is, every day leisurely wandering around, from time to time pretending to be innocent, rubbing the oil of the palace maids, how a cool word, but unfortunately good days are always short-lived, just enjoy it, trouble comes.
What? The old man is called? Make no mistake! Li Zhen's eyes suddenly widened. The two little eunuchs who came to pass the word hurriedly explained: "Eighth prince, this is the will of the Holy Lord, and the queen mother is also here, please go here." ”
What's the matter, we haven't done anything bad during this time, how can we still need to be so grand? Li Zhen was depressed for a long time and didn't remember that something had gone wrong, but the old man announced that it would be impossible not to go, so he had no choice but to wander all the way to the Manna Palace.
As soon as he walked into the Ganlu Palace, he saw Li Shimin and Empress Changsun sitting on the dragon bed laughing and talking about something, Li Zhen didn't dare to listen carefully, stepped forward with two small feet, knelt on the ground, and said respectfully: "The son has seen the father and the queen mother. ”
"Excuse me, get up." Li Shimin waved his hand with a smile, and looked at Li Zhen with interest for a while before continuing: "Zhen'er, if my father is not mistaken, you should be four years old." ”
Hey, that's it, you have a lot of sons, and it's normal to remember how old we are, right? Li Zhen despised the old man fiercely in his heart, but his face was full of respect and replied: "Back to my father's words, I will be four years old when I was a child. ”
"Oh?" Although Li Shimin's face was calm, there was a slight embarrassment in his eyes, without him, he forgot the age of his son, this father should really be a good student to review one or two, but this is no wonder Li Shimin, first, the court is entangled in everything, and there is still a war outside, and secondly, Li Zhen, who doesn't want to be in the limelight, has always been very low-key, and he is stunned that there is no surprising performance, and it should be ignored, if it is not mentioned by the eldest grandson queen today, I'm afraid that Li Shimin still can't remember that his son, who was born strangely but has no outstanding performance, still has a big thing to do.
"Zhen'er, since you have reached the age of four, it is time to start studying literature, the queen mother discussed with your father, and planned to let you worship Kong Yingda and Master Kong as teachers, what does Zhen'er think?" Seeing that Li Shimin was a little embarrassed, Empress Eldest Sun, who had always been empathetic, immediately said.
What? Kong Yingda? Make no mistake! Li Zhen was stunned when he heard this, without him, this old Comrade Kong is a learned Confucian, and worshipping him as a teacher will not be wronged, but well, I'm afraid that it's not so simple - according to the Tang system, all princes have to start enlightening and learning literature at the age of four, and they start practicing riding and archery at the age of five. Let's take this Kong Yingda and Master Kong as an example, now Comrade Lao Kong is the young Zhan Shi and the right concubine of the East Palace, to make it clear, Comrade Lao Kong is the prince's master, and it is strange to let Li Zhen worship Comrade Lao Kong as his teacher at this time, and there is nothing strange there.
Although Li Zhen has always been low-key and never hooked up with the older brothers, but in the palace and other gossip everywhere, he is still clear about the collusion between the bullshit brothers, as for what kind of goods the prince is, Li Zhen has long known - the prince Li Chengqian was also a smart and studious person when he was young, and both the literary and martial arts had two hits, which was quite the same thing, but the bigger the more it was, the less it was. Due to the lack of timely treatment, he became a lame prince, he didn't read or talk about books at this time, and he was fooling around in the East Palace all day long, and he had already become a laughing stock in the palace.
Dizzy, can you do it if you don't go? Of course, it can't be done, not only can't you say no, but you have to pretend to be happy, Li Zhen wants to cry, but she still has a happy look on her face and says: "Erchen obeys orders." ”
"Well, Zhen'er, you have been steady since you were a child, and your father knows this in his heart, and when you go to the East Palace, you will study hard with Kong Yingda, well, if it is ......, well, if there is anything wrong with your prince's brother, you will tell me." Li Shimin's face was pale, and he said very seriously.
Damn, after a long time, we dare to be in love with the work of a dark whistle in Yangcheng, it's miserable, how can I live this day! Grandma's, nine times out of ten, this idea came out of the eldest grandson queen, alas, you always feel sorry for your son who is not angry, but you use us as a whip, it's too inauthentic, so many concubines don't look for us, what do you do with us, won't your old young son Li Zhi also turn four years old? Send him. Li Zhen was crooked in her heart, but she didn't dare to bring it to her face, and responded very respectfully: "Yes, Erchen remembers." ”
"Just remember." Seeing that Li Zhen agreed, Li Shimin took out a jade pendant from his arms, handed it to Li Zhen with a smile: "Zhen'er, this is a common thing for my father, with this thing, you can come to me at any time, go." ”
Oh, dare to love this is the legendary special pass, ha, good things, we are worried about how to go out of the palace to see a strange, you always delivered to the door, gotta thank you. Li Zhen was overjoyed in her heart, but her face was very plain, she took the jade pendant with both hands, and she didn't look at it carefully, she put it in her pocket, kowtowed respectfully to thank her, retreated out, and wandered back to Min'an Palace.
Generally speaking, because there are many long-tongued women in the palace, and the yin is strong, what bad things in the palace are spread quickly, no, Li Zhensi was only called when he was called, and at noon, the people who were interested in the palace got the news, and they said everything for a while, after all, a prince who came out of the palace can enter the East Palace to study, it is already an outlier, and he is the same teacher as the prince, this thing is even rarer, isn't it? So throughout the afternoon and evening, there was an endless stream of concubines from various palaces who came to Min'an Palace to visit Concubine Yan, and those concubines who had children were even more enthusiastic, just asking around Li Zhen non-stop, what hints, flattering or threatening things like that were endless, stunned to stir Li Zhen upset, but he couldn't have a seizure, he could only deal with it with a smile, and when he encountered a topic that was really difficult to deal with, Li Zhen pretended to be naïve, and it was easy to deal with all the nasty ghosts, and it was dark that morning, Li Zhen's little stomach was already growling with hunger.
Life and death are small, eating is big, it's easy to wait for dinner, Li Zhen let go of eating, and looked like she was sprinkling all her anger on the food, like a whirlwind, after the matter was over, she asked Concubine Yan to say goodbye, so she planned to go back to the room to think about countermeasures, but Concubine Yan sat behind a few children, and while eating, she said lightly: "Wait." ”
Yes, the old lady has spoken, and if you don't wait, you have to wait, right? Although Li Zhen had something on her mind, she could only stand aside with her head bowed in a proper manner. Li Zhen was in a hurry, but Concubine Yan was not in a hurry, she used the meal slowly and methodically, didn't say anything, just used the meal, rinsed her mouth by the way, and then knelt down behind a few sons, calmly looked at Li Zhen who was full of black lines in her head, and asked lightly: "Zhen'er, do you have a grudge in your heart?" ”
Hey, look at what I'm saying, can we not be angry? Li Zhen felt bitter in her heart, but in the face of the old lady who had taken good care of herself over the years, she didn't want to lie, so she simply stood still and acquiesced.
"Zhen'er, you have been serious since you were a child, and your mother has nothing to worry about, just remember one: the master leads you into the door, the practice is personal, and you have to rely on yourself to learn your skills, what to do Niang thinks you will have a number in your heart." Concubine Yan paused, clapped her palms, and the two palace maids walked in carrying a small box and placed the box in the hall. Concubine Yan looked at Li Zhen and said with a smile: "Zhen'er, you have kept your monthly money for you all these years, and now it is all for you. ”
Ha, the old lady is used to being mixed up in the court, but the content in such a simple sentence is very rich, hey, interesting! Li Zhen was originally a clever person, and when she heard it, she understood what Concubine Yan was talking about - be serious, it is true to follow Kong Yingda to learn skills, and you don't have to pay attention to how the prince makes trouble, it is not something that a prince from a concubine can manage; The meaning of giving money is to let yourself sometimes pretend to mess around with the prince, as long as you have the bottom in your heart.
"Yes, the kid remembers." Li Zhen saluted respectfully, waved his hand, and motioned to the two little eunuchs on the side of the guard to step forward and move the box back to their own room, and respectfully retreated.
Money, money, I have been in this dynasty for more than four years, although I am a prince, but Li Zhen is a poor bastard, and he has never had a penny on his body - according to the Tang system, a young prince like Li Zhen who has not yet been crowned king also has a fixed monthly amount of money to take every month, and if it is converted into coins, it is generally about three times a month, but the money is in the hands of Concubine Yan, Li Zhen has not even seen the shadow of money, and now that there is money, why don't you hurry up and take a look? No, when I returned to my own room, I couldn't wait to open the cash box, and when I saw it, I suddenly lost my temper like a frosted eggplant—the box was not small, and it was also stuffed full, but except for a few silks, the total number of coins was only two or three thousand.
Dizzy, we're the prince, we've been saving so much for more than four years, what a demon moth! Li Zhen didn't know what the price was today, and when she saw that there was not much money, she was immediately so depressed that she wanted to cry, helpless, looked at the money in the box and smiled bitterly and sighed, and lay down on the bed and remembered her thoughts......
