Chapter 46: The Three Divisions

The prince is only three years old and has to follow the teacher to do learning, and Ye Tingfeng always feels that it is too harsh for such a young child.

Wen Qing glanced at the drip on the side, and reminded Ye Tingfeng, "Queen Mother, it's almost time." ”

The day before, Emperor Jianning had already listened to Feng at the same night to discuss, and after the morning court today, he would summon the prince's three divisions of the East Palace to the Qingxin Palace, so that the prince could recognize the master.

Ye Tingfeng nodded slightly, let go of the prince's little face, let the prince sit in his arms, and told again, "Yu'er, you must remember that when the minister and other concubines are around, you must call your mother the queen mother as you just now." ”

"Mother, I see." The prince nodded obediently, climbed into Ye Tingfeng's arms and said, "When there is only my father and my mother, I will call my mother." ”

Ye Tingfeng nodded, and held the prince's soft body in his arms and shook it gently.

As he spoke, Lu Zhi followed Yao Yuan and walked in from outside.

Lu Shi greeted Ye Tingfeng, got up and said, "Queen Mother, the emperor asks you to bring the prince over." ”

Ye Tingfeng patted the prince on the shoulder and let him get off his lap.

After Ye Tingfeng got up, he raised his hand to support the beaded flower phoenix hairpin on his hair bun, and after making sure that the makeup was neat with the palace people, he asked Zhiliu to take a water-blue cloak and drape it on his shoulder.

Meng Zizong, He Qing, and Liu An were already waiting in the study room in the Qingxin Palace.

Emperor Jianning didn't look at the excerpts, and was chatting with Meng Zizong, talking about some of Meng Zizong's family affairs.

Meng Zizong bowed slightly, listened attentively to Emperor Jianning's questions, and answered them respectfully one by one.

When a 'Queen Mother' arrived outside the hall, Emperor Jianning was facing Meng Zizong and asked, "Prime Minister Meng, I heard that you had a granddaughter a few days ago?" ”

After Meng Zizong nodded yes, he followed He Qing and Liu An to the sideways and bowed slightly to Ye Tingfeng, who slowly came in from outside the hall.

Emperor Jianning raised his head and watched Ye Tingfeng come in with the crown prince, and the corners of his mouth provoked a smile.

Listening to the sweep of Feng's beautiful eyes, the three ministers standing on the side of the dragon case were in their eyes.

The closest to the dragon case was the gray-haired old man. The old man was slightly thin, his face was ruddy, and he had a three-inch long white beard under his chin, and he looked like a well-read scholar.

Standing behind the old man was a middle-aged man about forty years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, although he bowed his body respectfully, he couldn't hide the momentum of the horse on his body.

Standing in the last place is a handsome boy who looks dignified and seems to be powerless.

Ye Tingfeng retracted his gaze and slowly walked to Emperor Jianning's side, and blessed, "The concubine asks the emperor for peace." ”

The crown prince, who was standing beside Ye Tingfeng, also performed a standard palace salute, "The son of the emperor greets his father." ”

"The queen is exempt, and the prince is exempt." Emperor Jianning raised his hand to let Ye Tingfeng get up and stood up from the dragon chair.

Meng Zizong, Liu An, and He Qing were busy listening to Feng and the prince kneeling down at night, "Weichen see the queen mother, the queen mother is a thousand years old." Weichen see His Royal Highness the Prince, the Crown Prince Chitose. ”

Ye Tingfeng raised his eyes to see that Emperor Jianning was looking at him, raised his hand and smiled at the three of them, "Don't be polite, be flat." ”

After that, he turned to look at Emperor Jianning, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, the concubine has retired first." ”

After Emperor Jianning nodded, Ye Tingfeng turned around and left the Qingxin Hall with Zhiliu.

Sending the prince to the Qingxin Hall was supposed to be done by the minions, and I heard that Feng came in person at night, just to see what the prince's three teachers looked like.

Meng Zizong and Liu An made Ye Tingfeng very satisfied, and He Qing, who was quite young, made Ye Tingfeng's heart beat a drum.

At such an age, can you afford to take on the position of the crown prince?

"Zhiliu, can you see that young Lord He?" Ye Tingfeng held Zhiliu's hand, and walked outside the Jianzhang Palace, and said softly, "Does it look like a person with strong martial arts?" ”

How she thinks He Qing is empty.

Zhiliu shook his head, "The slave can't see it, but isn't Lord Wu also young and strong in martial arts?" ”

When I heard Feng enter the Cloud Valley to find Wu Yue to cure poison, Wu Fengtian was only twenty-one or twelve years old, and he seemed weak on the outside.

Ye Tingfeng raised his eyebrows slightly and did not speak. The Wu family, can others compare?

"Queen Mother, the emperor loves the prince so much, there will be no mistake in choosing Lord He as the crown prince." Zhiliu said with relief.

It's only been February, and the garden is already full of purple and red. In the tea garden, Mrs. Miao, who was dressed in a bright yellow palace costume, and Wen Chongyuan, who was dressed in a lake-green palace costume, were playing with the three princes and the eldest princess.

Princess Celestia is five years old this year, and it's time to be cute. The third prince was young, only two years old, and he was just a toddler.

The eldest princess took the little hand of the third prince, entered the camellia bush under the care of the palace maid, raised her hand to pick a pink camellia, and soiled a pair of small shoes embroidered with apricot blossoms.

Mrs. Miao turned around and heard Feng coming over with the palace people, stepped forward in two steps, and blessed, "The concubine sees the queen's mother, the queen's mother is a thousand years old." ”

Wen Chongyuan was watching the eldest princess pick off the camellia with the help of the palace maid, and after hearing Mrs. Miao's words, she hurriedly turned around and listened to Feng Fu at night, "The concubine asks the queen mother to say goodbye, the queen mother is a thousand years old." ”

"Mrs. Miao Wen Chongyuan doesn't need to be polite, please get up." Ye Tingfeng stretched out his hand and helped Mrs. Miao.

This tea garden is the only place to listen to Feng from Jianzhang Palace back to Guan Ju Palace at night, and recently because the morning tea flowers have bloomed, many concubines have come to watch.

Mrs. Miao stood up with the gesture of listening to Feng at night, and Wen Chongyuan also stood up straight.

Wen Chongyuan took a few steps closer to Ye Tingfeng and said with a smile, "Queen Mother, the sun is so good today, why didn't you see the prince come out to play?" ”

"Yes, the three princes have been shouting to find the prince's brother in the past two days, and the concubines are still thinking of taking the three princes to the Guanju Palace in the afternoon to greet the queen's mother." Mrs. Miao was also smiling warmly.

Ye Tingfeng replied with a smile, "The prince went to the Qingxin Palace, and the emperor looked for him something." ”

The appropriate smile on Mrs. Miao's face has not changed, but the hands hidden in the sleeves are clenched, "The emperor really loves the prince, the prince is so young, he follows the emperor's side to listen to state affairs." ”

Madame Miao knew what the prince was doing when he went to the Qingxin Palace, but now she just asked about it.

Wen Chongyuan covered her lips and smiled, looked at Mrs. Miao and smiled, "Mrs. Miao is really joking, the prince is so young, how can he understand?" ”

"I don't understand it now, but I will understand it when I listen to it." Mrs. Miao raised her eyes and looked at Ye Tingfeng, and said with something in her words, "Just like the queen mother, the queen mother could only listen to and not speak when she first arrived in Dayue, but now Dayue is talking better and better." ”

Ye Tingfeng glanced at Mrs. Miao meaningfully, and replied in four or two, "What Mrs. Miao said is reasonable, the prince is talented and intelligent, and he will understand it when he listens to it." ”

Wen Chongyuan looked at Ye Tingfeng on the left and Mrs. Miao on the right, knowing that none of these two people she could afford to offend, she raised the corner of her cherry red lips and smiled, and said, "Queen Mother, Mrs. Miao, the eldest princess is tired of playing for a while, and the concubine chose to take her back." ”

After that, he blessed the two of them and took the eldest princess away.

As soon as the eldest princess left, the third prince suddenly cried incessantly, interrupting the strange atmosphere that inexplicably rose between Ye Tingfeng and Mrs. Miao. “

How disgusted Mrs. Miao is with Ye Tingfeng and the crown prince, Ye Tingfeng knows it clearly in her heart. So the first thing she did after returning to Guan Ju Palace was to call Yao Yuan to the inner hall and ask him to tell Mrs. Miao in detail about her recent movements.

Yao Yuan stood on the side of the low couch and said respectfully to Ye Tingfeng, who was sitting there eating tea, "Queen Mother, since the emperor posthumously crowned Mrs. Ru, Mrs. Miao has not moved. ”

"Impossible." Ye Tingfeng raised her eyebrows, and said with great certainty, "She seems to be respectful to me in the Imperial Garden today, but the hostility in her eyes has not diminished at all, and she can't just stop like this." ”

"Minions will check again." Yao Yuan bowed.

"Has there been any movement in the Qing Xiuyi lately?" Ye listened to Kaede and asked again.

Now in the harem, in addition to the crown prince, there are the second prince and the third prince. Mrs. Miao regards Ye Tingfeng as a thorn in her eye, and Qing Xiuyi doesn't regard the prince as a thorn in the flesh.

"Qing Xiuyi has been very close to Mrs. Wen and Tao Niangzi in recent days." Yao Yuan replied.

"Getting close to Lady Wen?" Listening to Feng at night, his beautiful eyes were full of surprise.

The prince was afraid of Mrs. Wen, all because of Qing Xiuyi's means. Mrs. Wen lost the opportunity to raise the prince in her heart, and she had long hated Qing Xiuyi in her heart, so how could she get close to Qing Xiuyi?

"yes. A few days ago, on the birthday of the second prince, Mrs. Wen also embroidered the belly pocket of the second prince with her own hands, embroidered it by herself, and sent it to the second prince in person after embroidery, and wore it on the body of the second prince with her own hands. Yao Yuan said it in a good way, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

Ye Tingfeng raised his hands and rubbed his temples lightly, and after thinking for a moment, he said to a few loyal servants standing beside him, "No matter what Mrs. Wen and Qing Xiuyi did to rebuild the old friendship, you all have your eyes brightened and protected the prince." ”

Yao Yuan, Wen Qing, and Zhiliu bowed down, and said yes in unison.

After putting down his hand, he looked out the window and sighed softly, and listened to Feng at night, "Wait for the prince to grow up, just wait for him to grow up." ”

At the gate of Guan Ju Palace, Emperor Jianning walked in with a thousand smiles on his face and behind his back. Lu Zhi lowered his body, took a step behind and followed closely behind Emperor Jianning.

Ye Tingfeng hurriedly stood up and greeted him, looked at Emperor Jianning's empty back and asked, "What about Yu'er?" ”

Emperor Jianning grabbed Ye Tingfeng's slightly cool little hand and smiled, "What do you say?" ”

Ye Tingfeng raised his eyes to look at Emperor Jianning, and lowered his head after looking at Xu Xuan, his eyes showing loneliness.

The prince recognized the teacher, and now he naturally follows the third teacher to do learning.

"It's almost noon, won't you come back for lunch?" Holding Emperor Jianning's hand, he listened to Feng walking towards the hall at night, and said quietly.

"I don't come back for lunch, but I'll come back for dinner." As Ye Tingfeng entered the inner hall, Emperor Jianning smiled and said, "Mu'er, he has only been away from you for less than an hour. In the past, when he went out to play, he didn't leave you for more than this time. ”

"That's different." After Emperor Jianning sat down on the low couch, Ye Tingfeng took the tea cup in Zhiliu's hand and handed it over to him, saying, "In the past, when he went out to play, the palace maids and grandmothers who followed him were all my reassuring ......."

"Don't you worry about the prince and the princess?" Emperor Jianning raised his eyebrows.

"Not really." Sitting beside Emperor Jianning, Ye Tingfeng thought for a moment, bit his red lip and said, "I can't say the feeling, it seems to be ......."

"Someone seems to be robbing Yu'er with you?" Emperor Jianning asked again.

Ye Ting Feng nodded again and again, feeling that what Emperor Jianning said was close to what she thought in her heart.

Emperor Jianning put down the teacup in his hand, and laughed out loud against Ye Tingfeng's white forehead, "Mu'er, he will always grow up." ”

"Are you still smiling......" Ye Tingfeng stretched out his tender white hand and gently pinched Emperor Jianning's chest.

"Okay, I won't laugh anymore." Holding Ye Tingfeng into his arms, Emperor Jianning raised his hand to remove the beads on her bun, and said softly, "Mu'er, when we have another child, you won't put all your attention on him." ”

Spreading out Ye Tingfeng's bun, Emperor Jianning picked up Ye Tingfeng and walked towards the dormitory, and said with a smile, "Mu'er, Yu'er won't suddenly appear this time." ”

Hearing Feng's exclamation, his face turned red after hugging Emperor Jianning, and he gently slapped Emperor Jianning's shoulder and said, "It's daytime." ”

"What does it matter?" Pressing Ye Tingfeng into the bed, Emperor Jianning tasted the fragrance and tasted the jade, and said with a smile, "Children grow up fast, you have to give birth to a younger brother to Yu'er quickly." When Yu'er's younger brother grows up to three years old, you will give birth to ......."

Listening to Feng's beautiful eyes getting bigger and bigger, when Emperor Jianning said that his younger brother's younger brother would give birth to a younger sister, she couldn't help but ask out loud, "Wanyan Zhe, shouldn't it hurt for you to give birth to a child?" ”

The prince was young, and Meng Zizong, the prince and master who stayed to teach the prince on the first day, did not teach the prince much, but only chose a passage of the Analects for the prince to recite.

The prince was smart and studious, and under the teaching of Meng Zizong, it only took half an hour to recite the words of the Analects.

Meng Zizong was very happy that he had a three- or four-year-old child in his own house. He knows what such a big child can learn and how receptive he is.

After memorizing the Analects, Meng Zizong took up a pen and wrote down the two characters of the Analects on rice paper to teach the prince to learn characters.

When the prince returned to Guanju Palace, the sun was already in the west, and Emperor Jianning and Ye Tingfeng were sitting in the inner hall eating tea.

Watching the young prince straighten his spine and walk into the Guanju Palace step by step very steadily, he listened to Feng smiling at night, and smiled at Emperor Jianning who was holding her hand, "It is said that three years old looks old, and looking at Yu'er like this, it is like seeing him walk in from the outside with his hands behind his back ten years later." ”

"Ten years later, he will be thirteen years old." Emperor Jianning lightly grasped the softness in his hand and said with a smile, "Thirteen years old is already the age to go out of the palace and build a mansion." ”

Ye Tingfeng pulled his hand back, pursed his red lips, raised his beautiful eyes and glanced at Emperor Jianning.

Emperor Jianning teased again, "At that time, his youngest sister should have just been born." ”

Ye heard that Feng's face turned red, and he bit his red lip and said, "Nonsense." ”

Looking at Ye Tingfeng's shyness, Emperor Jianning laughed heartily.

The crown prince walked in under the leadership of Litmus, and stood in front of Emperor Jianning and Ye Tingfeng and performed a regular palace ceremony, "The sons and daughters ask for peace for their father and queen, and for their mothers." ”

Emperor Jianning let go of Ye Tingfeng's hand, stood up and hugged the prince into his arms, and said with a smile, "Yu'er, are you happy today?" ”

Ye Tingfeng asked, "Yu'er, what did you learn today?" ”

The crown prince snuggled in the arms of Emperor Jianning, and replied to the milky voice of Feng Milk at night, "Mother, the Taishi taught Yu'er to learn the Analects. He turned around and said to Emperor Jianning, "Father, be happy, the Taishi said that Yu'er is very smart." ”

Lu Shi followed the prince in, and said to Emperor Jianning, who was in a good mood, "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Meng Cheng has not left, saying that he wants to see the emperor." ”

"Come to my mother." Ye Tingfeng stretched out his hand to the prince and said with a smile, "Mother's hug." ”

The prince opened his little hand to Ye Tingfeng and wrapped it from Emperor Jianning's arms to Ye Tingfeng's arms.

"I'm afraid I'm going to talk to you about Yu'er." Ye Ting Feng said to Emperor Jianning, "You go over quickly." ”

"I'll come back at dinner." Emperor Jianning raised his finger and scratched the prince's nose lightly, and went out with a smile.

Ye Tingfeng walked outside the Guanju Palace with the prince in his arms, and watched his husband walk out of the Guanju Palace step by step in the sunset.

Putting his forehead on the crown prince's shoulder, Ye Tingfeng's heart was full of happiness, "Yu'er, is your father very tall?" ”

The crown prince nodded, struggled to get out of Ye Tingfeng's arms, and walked outside step by step with his head held high in the sunset like Emperor Jianning, "Mother, Yu'er and my father don't look like the emperor." ”

Ye listened to Kaede chuckle and nodded, "Like." ”

"Yu'er will also grow as tall as her father in the future." The prince turned around and walked towards Ye Tingfeng, one step at a time, and his steps were not chaotic at all.

Emperor Jianning failed to go to the Guanju Palace for dinner as scheduled, because after he returned to the Qingxin Palace to see Meng Zizong, he had a poisonous attack.

I heard that Feng sat in the Guan Ju Hall and waited for a long time, and when he arrived, he heard Yao Yuan, who went to the Qingxin Hall to investigate, say that after Emperor Jianning was sick, he couldn't sit still anymore.

It was too late to tidy up, so I heard that Feng put on a cloak and took Zhiliu to the Qingxin Palace.

The Qingxin Hall is no different from the past, and the orange-red palace lamps emit a soft light in the quiet night.

Emperor Jianning sat on the dragon bed, his face was pale, and he had lost the slightest consciousness.

Ye Tingfeng saw the red circles in his eyes, and tears rolled down.

Emperor Jianning was still fine when he returned from Guanju Palace in the afternoon, why did he suddenly become so sick.

"Have you called in the Imperial Doctor?" While wiping his tears with a handkerchief, Ye Tingfeng asked Lu Shi who was standing beside him, "When did you get sick?" ”

"When I go back to the queen's mother, I have already ordered someone to invite the national teacher." Lu Zhi glanced at Ye Tingfeng with a weak heart, and replied, "But the national teacher has not returned from a long journey." ”

"If the national teacher is not here, won't he call the imperial doctor?" Ye Tingfeng gritted his teeth and looked at Lu Zhi like a knife.

"Queen Mother, you can't call the imperial doctor." Lu Shi suddenly knelt down at Ye Tingfeng, raised his hand and slapped himself in the mouth, and replied, "No one in the imperial hospital can cure the emperor's illness?" ”

Ye Tingfeng glanced at Lu Zhi suspiciously, and pressed the three fingers of his right hand on Emperor Jianning's left wrist vein.

Emperor Jianning's skin was cold, and under the light touch, Ye Tingfeng's tears rolled down again. She bit her lip and tried to diagnose what kind of illness Emperor Jianning was.

After diagnosing for a moment, he listened to Feng's fierce eyes widen at night, and looked at Emperor Jianning's eyes full of surprise.

Judging from the pulse, Emperor Jianning is disease-free.

The pulse is strong and powerful, and it is no different from the previous days.

Ye Tingfeng remembered that when Emperor Jianning was sick many years ago, Emperor Jianning was hot all over his body, but he couldn't see the slightest illness in his pulse.

The main thing for the imperial doctor to cure the disease is to look at the pulse. With such a pulse of Emperor Jianning, it is indeed difficult for the imperial doctors of the imperial hospital to diagnose the symptoms.
