Chapter 4: Pretending to be stupid
"Nonsense." Feng Xu didn't blurt out: "Can that kind of thing be decided by the child?"
Ask me?ββ Feng Zhirong stayed in place with a puzzled expression, always feeling a dilemma.
Liu Zhubo said: "Feng Pingzhang must not be in a hurry, this is also what His Majesty meant."
"Did Your Majesty really say that?"
Lord Liu said with a smile: "Feng Pingzhang has been an official in the court for forty years, but he has watched His Majesty grow up since His Majesty was established as a prince, how can he not understand His Majesty's temperament?"
Feng Xu lowered his face and said, "Don't speculate on Your Majesty's thoughts casually."
Liu Zhubo said again: "Your Majesty also said that when Feng Pingzhang can still say this, it means that Feng Pingzhang's temper has not changed, and it doesn't hurt to listen to fresh ideas."
Feng Xu finally said helplessly: "In the past, above the court, everyone said that I could guess His Majesty's thoughts, but only I knew in my heart, and the one who knew Wei Chen's thoughts the most was Your Majesty."
Liu Zhubo set his eyes on Feng Zhirong, who was in a dilemma, at this time, and said, "Child, there is something, I want to hear your thoughts, okay?"
Feng Zhirong felt a little embarrassed, so she looked at Feng Xu with a distressed gaze, and Feng Xu nodded heavily, and said, "You can answer Liu Zhu Bo honestly according to what you think."
"Is it really honest?" Feng Zhirong couldn't help but ask: "Grandfather, is it this kind of honesty to you, or the kind of honesty to your parents?"
Feng Xu's mood was still a little depressed, but after hearing Feng Zhirong's words, he was amused again, so he also smiled and said: "It's good to be as honest as you are to me!"
Feng Zhirong tilted her head and thought about it, and then thought about it in her heart, and then said to Master Liu: "Uncle Liu, may I ask!" Zhirong knows everything!"
Master Liu smiled and said, "Actually, this time I came to disturb not only at the request of Xun Jianzheng, but also on the orders of His Majesty."
Feng Zhirong wanted to frown, but she didn't dare to express it too obviously, so she pursed her lips and waited quietly.
Liu Zhubo continued: "Your Majesty attaches great importance to Feng Pingzhang, an old minister of the two dynasties, and also attaches great importance to the Feng family, who was born and died for the imperial court. Almost everyone in the Feng family is an official in the court, and His Royal Highness is also quite concerned, but His Majesty once said that if the Feng family gives birth to a girl, they must also receive education like a boy. β
Liu Zhubo said a long preface in a twist and turn, which made Feng Zhirong's face darkβshe always felt that this situation didn't seem to be good?
Liu Zhu Bo looked at Feng Zhirong, who was stupidly listening to his tirade, and couldn't help but secretly feel that the other party was really a child, and seemed to be confused by his preface, so he coughed and continued: "Girls from ordinary families usually only learn to be a female celebrity, manage accounts, and cook, but most girls from official families don't have to be proficient in this way. Instead, they must learn other skills so that they can help their husbands in the future. So His Majesty asked Feng Zhan Shi if he wanted to let his daughter go to the palace to study?"
"Entering the palace... Reading?"
Ah, that's not true, is it? Do you want to participate in the draft after that?
No, no, no, although Feng Zhirong has not watched less and acted in some historical dramas or costume dramas, this does not mean that she is willing to get involved in that quagmire! What's more, acting is acting, but if the real situation is as "exciting" as a drama, then few people's physical and mental health can withstand so many heavy blows, right? What's more, human life and time are gone forever
If you want to bury your life in it so unfreely, then it is better not to give her the time of this life!
All right! She admits she's overthinking.
Feng Zhirong likes such a free childhood a little, but if she wants to live the kind of life that needs to walk on thin ice in the future, it will be a sea of bitterness! She doesn't want it!
Listening to Feng Zhirong's slightly hesitant voice, Liu Zhubo thought that the child was still young and couldn't understand, so he said again: "The study in the palace is slightly different from the study outside, in addition to the general etiquette, there are also qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, and you also have to read the books of sages, most of which are the same as what men learn."
Feng Zhirong knew that Liu Zhubo had already given an explanation, and if she continued to pretend to be stupid, it would be too much, so she said, "So, can you still learn to ride a horse and shoot arrows?"
Liu Zhubo was stunned for a moment and said: "Women don't need to learn to ride horses and shoot arrows......"
Feng Xu explained: "At the beginning of my dynasty, there were many women who learned to ride horses and shoot arrows to defend against the enemy, but after the state affairs were basically stable, women did not need to fight the enemy on the battlefield."
Feng Zhirong fiddled with her fingers and said, "But I like to be with my grandfather......"
Liu Zhubo smiled and said to Feng Xu: "Feng Pingzhang loves this granddaughter too much."
Perhaps Feng Xu was also proud of this matter, and raised the corners of his mouth and said: "Soon after I resigned from His Majesty, God gave the Feng family a girl, so what I enjoy most is this family happiness!"
Master Liu said with a smile: "Feng Pingzhang's other grandchildren are not so lucky, let Feng Pingzhang follow him personally, no wonder this child is so close to Feng Pingzhang."
Feng Xu said: "This kid is also very caring, just so that I have something to do!"
Liu Zhubo nodded, turned back to Feng Zhirong and said, "Child, your father and grandfather are still undecided, what do you think?"
Damn, it's like a game of choices, and the wrong choices can lead to the wrong route or even a bad outcome!
Feng Zhirong simply decided to pretend to be dead to the end: "If you can't ride a horse and shoot arrows in the palace, it's stuffy!" Moreover, I made an appointment with my grandfather that when my horseback riding skills improved, he would take me on a tour of the mountains and rivers. "Since as a child, there are some wayward rights.
After listening to Feng Zhirong's words, Liu Zhubo couldn't help but look at Feng Xu curiously, and Feng Xu also nodded: "At that time, seeing that this child was studying so seriously, I agreed to her."
Master Liu smiled: "Feng Pingzhang really loves this granddaughter."
Feng Xu shook his head and asked Feng Zhirong: "Even if you can't ride a horse and shoot arrows in the palace, you still have a lot to learn, and in the future, you will also have to read sage books, learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting in the Feng family." Now that His Majesty has given you such an opportunity, do you want to refuse?" Feng Zhirong saw that the expression on Feng Xu's face changed slightly, which made her heart tighten.
"Hmm......" Feng Zhirong began to feel a little embarrassed, she felt that Feng Xu was reluctant to let her leave at first, but now why did she seem to be persuading herself to enter the palace to study?
Feng Xu's next words can be regarded as solving her doubts: "You have only studied in the palace for three years, and you will have to marry and marry in the future." If you waste three years of studying, it's not good. Also, there are a lot of good teachers in the palace, so I think you will learn a lot of interesting things there. β
"But if I study in the palace, I won't be able to see my grandfather." Feng Zhirong thought about it, and felt that what she said was still a little wrong, and added: "There are also fathers and mothers, and brothers, they can't meet every day!"
Feng Xu smiled: "You kid, you're half a child, and you love to be coquettish so much!" Also, you said that your mother is just a mother, and I don't hear you mention your father and brothers on weekdays, but now you remember it?"
Feng Zhirong smirked and said, "I usually meet every day!" If you can't see each other, you'll start missing them, won't you?"
Anchor Liu said: "After all, the Feng family is still in the capital, if the child enters the palace to study, he can rest for two days every half month or so in the first year." It's okay to go back to Feng's house. β
Feng Xu also continued: "In three months, you will be ten years old, and it will be the day to set up a palace, and you can go to the palace to study." After you leave the palace in three years, your grandfather will take you to ride a horse and see those beautiful mountains and rivers, okay?"
Feng Zhirong saw that Feng Xu, who was usually quite serious, said this point, and could only pretend to be aggrieved and agree: "Then, grandfather can't break his word!"
