Ye Tongying didn't know what country England was, and she didn't understand how there was still a country that would let the princess inherit the throne. If the princess can inherit the throne, where will the princes go? The crown prince actually allowed the Taoist doctor to spread such remarks in Changle Palace. She secretly peeked at Chen Youcong's expression, but saw that his face was not different.

At this time, Princess Renhe pulled Chen Youcong's placket: "Brother Prince, take us to Changle Palace." Princess Deqing also said: "Go to Changle Palace and find the imperial grandmother." ”

The concubine's Qianqiu banquet has also come to an end, and some concubines have begun to prepare to retire.

Chen Youcong also asked the emperor and the concubine to resign, and took the princesses back to Changle Palace. Ye Tongying also has to follow. So the group left Xiyuan and headed towards Changle Palace.

When they arrived at Changle Palace, everyone greeted the Queen Mother, and Renhe and Deqing stayed in the main hall for a while and wanted to go out to play.

Princess Renhe's nanny persuaded the princess in a low voice: "Princess, didn't you say that you miss the Queen Mother and want to accompany the Queen Mother?" Let's not go out, right? You forget, Concubine Shun has always said that girls should be quiet and obedient, and they can't always run outside. "This nanny has been by her side since the princess was born, and she is very trustworthy and respectful, and she has a bit of face. She didn't want the princess to go out, but also because she knew that the princess was going to find Zhang Weizhao when she went out, and she knew that although Concubine Shun was grateful to Zhang Weizhao for saving the princess, she didn't want the princess to listen to her strange talk, and she was afraid that it would be difficult to discipline the princess if she taught her temperament.

Because of the respect for Confucianism in the Great Yan Dynasty, the princesses were also raised to be humble and weak, and their actions were restricted by the palace maids and eunuchs around them. Some palace maids and eunuchs are so powerful that even the princess has to bribe them before summoning the horses, and they can only proclaim it if they agree, otherwise they will accuse you of misbehaving and only thinking about men and women all day long.

If the princess's mother is powerful, has a strong personality, and knows how to protect her daughter, the princess's life will be better. If the mother concubine is timid and afraid, or just wants her daughter to be chaste, no matter what the princess's intentions are, then the princess's life will not be easy.

The eldest princess of Fengqing was favored by the first emperor, her biological mother, Empress Dowager Liu, knew very well that she would protect her children, and her younger brother became the emperor again, so her status was noble, and no palace person dared to rub her. But even so, she has to work hard to be a virtuous daughter-in-law in her in-laws' house, and she also made clothes, shoes and socks for her in-laws, so that no one can say that the princess is arrogant.

Even the eldest princess of Fengqing is like this, not to mention other princesses whose biological mothers are not powerful. Therefore, since the founding of Dayan, the princesses have not lived long and have few heirs, all because of the strict control of etiquette and religion.

Zhang Weizhao heard some of these things in Xuanmiaoguan, and when he went to the palace, he listened to a lot of gossip from the palace maids. Hearing this always made Zhang Weizhao's heart heavy.

Every time she saw Jen's soft cheeks and clear eyes like roses, it was hard to imagine that she would have to bear such a heavy life in the future. She wants Renhe to live as freely and happily as possible before she grows up, and develop her true self, so that when she grows up and has to face her own fate, she will not be weak and powerless, give up her dominance over herself, and let others slaughter her.

Just when Renhe came to play with her, Zhang Weizhao would take her to play games, tell her some stories praising the power of women, and draw dolls for the pothos to make and give them to Renhe to play. Zhang Weizhao regards this as a kind of support and blessing for Renhe.

Princess Ren and Princess are very fond of playing games with Zhang Weizhao, Zhang Weizhao will never restrain her everywhere, don't get her clothes dirty, don't run, don't shout loudly, but can take her to laugh, jump and run. She also likes the stories Zhang Weizhao tells and the dolls she gave her. She also brought Deqing over to play with her. Although Deqing is only two years old, he also likes to come to Zhang Weizhao.

Renhe and Deqing's nanny only felt a headache. Secretly slandered, how could anyone dare to teach the princess like this? But the Queen Mother didn't care, and always connived at the princesses to follow the Taoist doctor to mess around.

Sometimes these palace people will also discuss in private, saying that the queen mother was from a humble background, and her father was only a peasant in the suburbs of Beijing, so she was the least concerned about etiquette and rules. It is said that the reason why the first emperor favored her was only because she was so childbearing. The first emperor's most beloved person is still Empress Qian, a knowledgeable, gentle and elegant woman, who has always been lukewarm to the Liu family. When the first emperor died, he specially told Empress Qian to be buried in his imperial mausoleum after a hundred years, but he did not mention anything about Liu.

Empress Dowager Liu once quarreled with the emperor because of this incident and wanted to leave a place for her in the mausoleum of the first emperor, but the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the imperial historians resolutely opposed it, believing that this move violated the edict of the first emperor and was disrespectful to the first emperor. This matter has been discussed since the death of the first emperor, and there is still no result. Now the court has a bad opinion of the Empress Dowager Liu, but the Empress Dowager Liu still goes her own way. The emperor honored his mother, and no matter what the courtiers said, the queen mother still had a noble status in the harem. But the princesses still have to choose a son-in-law to marry in the future, if they don't know the rules and etiquette, how can they adapt to the life after marriage?

These private discussions sometimes reach the ears of the two princesses' mothers, Concubine Shun and Concubine Jing. These concubines also had the same worries, worried that the princess would become wild and difficult to teach. Da Yan is not a Han and Tang Dynasty, and the princess cannot be allowed to be arrogant and capricious, otherwise she will inevitably be criticized by the officials, ridiculed by the literati, and blamed by the clansmen in the future. But none of them dared to anger the Queen Mother, and since the Queen Mother didn't mind the princesses being wild in her palace, they couldn't say anything. At most, I can teach it when I bring it back to me.

Sure enough, just when Princess Renhe's nanny tried her best to persuade Renhe to stay in the palace and sit quietly and not run out, the Queen Mother said: "She is young, so she should run more, so that her body and bones will be strong, and she will not always be soft and easy to catch a cold." She just went if she wanted. ”

Many children in the palace died young, and the three children of Empress Dowager Liu all lived well to adulthood. Therefore, Empress Dowager Liu is very confident in her way of raising children, she thinks that children should run and jump, and it is not too late to learn when they grow up.

Princess Deqing saw her sister going out to play, so she naturally wanted to go out with her, and pulled her sister and said, "Find Ah Zhao!" ”

Ye Tongying was very curious about what Ah Zhao was capable of, and the two princesses who teased her liked to play with her so much, and asked the Queen Mother to take care of the two princesses.

The Queen Mother has always been cold to Ye Tongying, and only told "Be careful" to agree.

When Ye Tongying was leaving, she innocently put the basket with the puppy next to Chen Youcong, saying that she asked him to take care of it on her behalf. Chen Youcong didn't say anything, it was a tacit acquiescence.

And the girls came out of the temple and went out into the backyard.

Zhang Weizhao had long known that the princesses were coming to Changle Palace, so he sat under the tree in the backyard and waited. Sure enough, after a while, the two little princesses ran towards her happily.

"Ah Zhao! Ah Zhao! ”

"Princess Renhe is well! Princess Deqing is well! Seeing the princesses coming, Zhang Weizhao was sincerely happy.

After she entered the palace, she was most relaxed only when she was with the little princesses. Because they haven't formed an inherent mode of thinking, they won't think you're a heretic or a demon just because you think differently from others. They only have heartfelt likes or dislikes.

Princess Renhe and Princess Deqing really like Zhang Weizhao and like to stay with her.

This result is natural, Zhang Weizhao was very good at working with children in his previous life. She understands the trajectory of children's psychological development and has a great respect for their needs and ideas. She believes in the power of love and freedom and dislikes intimidation and tight mind control.

So with Zhang Weizhao, she will not restrain your behavior in a "good for you" way, but will try to meet your needs in a safe and reasonable way.

For example, playing with sand, because the nannies don't like the princesses to play with the sand and hide all the sand grains in the seams of their clothes, she will ask the pothos to sew bibs with sleeves for the two princesses, and they will not have a lot of sand in the sleeves and corners of their clothes when they play on their bodies.

Another example is painting, Zhang Weizhao prepared enough paper and thin carbon strips for Princess Ren and Princess to draw whatever she liked. Princess Renhe likes to paint leaves the most, and Zhang Weizhao accompanies her to observe the shape, size, and veins of various plant leaves. Renhe draws leaves all over each piece of paper, one after another, tirelessly and patiently.

In fact, this is also a characteristic of children of this age, when they like the same thing, they will be extremely focused and repeat it constantly. Adults often feel that this is a waste of time and should learn as much as possible in the limited time they have. But it is in this way that the child is establishing a deep connection with the world, and this repeated thing is his entry point into the world.

So Zhang Weizhao won't disturb Renhe when he is painting, unless Renhe asks her for help.

Later, Princess Deqing also joined, and Zhang Weizhao also prepared drawing paper and charcoal for her, and she painted some messy lines casually. Then Zhang Weizhao will add a hat, or a pair of eyes, or a few leaves to these lines, and turn these messy lines into some cute little animals, plants, or other cartoon shapes. Princess Deqing clapped happily when she saw it.

Princess Renhe and Princess Deqing entered the backyard and rushed to Zhang Weizhao. Zhang Weizhao stretched out his arms and hugged them left and right.

The two princesses' nannies and attendants shouted "Princess, please slow down!" He followed.

Ye Tongying also followed behind, and secretly looked at Zhang Weizhao as she walked.

Zhang Weizhao greeted Ye Tongying, but he didn't bother to greet her first.

"Zhao, I want to play with sand!" Princess Renhe shouted.

"Zhao, sand!" Princess Deqing learns everything from her sister.

"I want a bucket and a shovel, and a cart!" Princess Renhe liked the toys that Zhang Weizhao specially prepared for them.

"Buckets, small ones!" Princess Deqing parroted, and she couldn't tell the pronunciation of the word "car".
