Two-four-two: Xunzi

Han Lian was stunned, and reacted to Zhang Yan's intentions, so she stretched her sleeves and saluted, and responded, "No"

"As for the Chengming Palace man who came to report the news" Zhang Yan pondered for a moment, turned his head to Chu Fumu and said, "Ah Fu, you go and deal with it yourself"

After the establishment of female officials in the Weiyang Palace, the situation in the palace fell to the Jiaofang Palace, which was already an irrepressible trend, but this palace man named Baiguo was the first to surrender to the Jiaofang Palace, although it was only a news report, but for the exemplary role of this first, the Jiaofang Palace also needed to be rewarded to a certain extent, so as to show their bearing in the palace, and also make other people in the palace more and more heartfelt;

However, at the same time, this reward should not be too much, otherwise if someone else also makes a meritorious contribution in the future, it will not be easy to grasp

In the summer of May, the afternoon sun was a little strong because of pregnancy, Zhang Yan didn't dare to use ice these days, this day, only used a bowl of red bean paste soup with surging well water, Chu Fumu sent the palace people to talk back, saying that the Chengming Palace people did not receive the reward, only begged in front of Chu Fumu, and was willing to serve by the queen's side

Out of consideration for the palace people, although Chu Fumu did not reward Bai Guo in public, he did not avoid people, so he was knelt down by Bai Guo in front of people, but forced Chu Fu Mu to a corner where he refused neatly

Sounds like a smart kid

Zhang Yan became interested, shook her head and signaled that she didn't want red bean paste soup anymore, and turned around and said, "Since she said so, you will bring her in to meet."

A handmaid dressed in green clothes and beards in the outer palace was led by the people of Jiaofang Palace, walked into the hall from the outside, and bowed down tremblingly, "The slave maid Baiguo knocked on the queen's mother, and the queen's mother was happy and happy" from beginning to end, not daring to raise her head

After a pause, Empress Zhang's voice came from above, "Your name is Baiguo?" ”

"Exactly"

"How old is this year?"

"Back to the queen's mother, the maid's mother is a palace slave who did not enter the palace in the first year of the previous year," Bai Guo's voice was a little timid, but the speech was quite clear, and it sounded a little crisp, "Later, I was born in Yongxiang, and the maid turned eight years old this year, and my mother died the year before last, and now, the maid is serving alone in the Chengming Palace."

Eight years old

Zhang Yan felt slight pity in her heart

Eight-year-old child, if in his previous life, or in the arms of his parents spoiled children this white fruit, but has been alone in the Weiyang Palace to survive, although since his own control of the Weiyang Palace, the Jiaofang Palace has gained power, but there are countless palace people in the entire Weiyang Palace, a single Chengming Palace, the palace maids who serve are not less than a hundred and ten, Baiguo is only eight years old, but he can come up with the Jiaofang Palace to report the news, and put it into action, it is also a very clever child

"I'll tell you the truth," Zhang Yan said softly, "The palace people around me all need to be literate and hyphenated, and I never need a palace person like you to be old."

Whether it was secretly running out to report to Empress Zhang in the Chengming Palace before, or refusing the reward given by Chu Fumu on behalf of Empress Zhang just now, it was a very important decision in his life Although Bai Guo was a little smart, he was immature after all, and he had made great efforts, and when he heard the young queen sitting on it say this, he was extremely disappointed in his heart, and he almost cried, and finally remembered the prudent words and deeds that his mother told him before she died, and she barely held back, and said, "The slave is terrified,——

"Still, I can give you a chance"

Zhang Yan said suddenly

Her eyes were slightly fluttering, and she beckoned Tu Yu and commanded her in her ear

Tu Yu's eyes inevitably showed a look of consternation, suppressed it for a while, turned his head to Bai Guo and said, "The queen mother pities you for being clever and gives you two choices, the first is to give you two hundred catties of gold, and after that, you can take these two hundred catties of gold, or return to the Ming Palace, or leave the palace; Second,"

She paused and continued, "In a few days, an inner school will be opened in the palace to teach palace people to read and write, but the scale is very large, which one do you plan to choose?" ”

Bai Guo's expression changed on his face, obviously struggling, he thought for a while, and said, "Slave and maid choose the second" The lips have been bitten and bloody

"Are you sure?" Tu Yu couldn't help but ask

You know, 200 catties of gold, Shicai himself was a little stunned when he heard the queen mother say according to the Han system, the emperor hired the queen, and the dowry was only 10,000 catties of gold, four years ago, when Zhang Yan was related to the royal family, the Empress Dowager Lu deliberately made the decision to double the dowry, a total of 20,000 catties of gold

What Zhang Yan just gave out was one percent of her own dowry However, although this girl hesitated, she chose the latter very firmly

"Sure," Bai Guo replied

"Niangniang," Tu Yu asked curiously, "do you like this ginkgo very much?" ”

Zhang Yan took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and said, "It's a smart child, if you train a little, maybe you can be a game in the future."

"You are very promising, even the teacher and grandmother dare to question it"

In the Xuanshu Palace, Liu Ying looked at Liu Hong, the king of Huaiyang, who was standing below wearing the usual clothes of the kings of the Han Dynasty, and hurriedly reprimanded him

Liu Hong looked stubborn on his face, raised his head, and slammed back, "The father and the emperor blamed the son, and the minister did not admit it, dare to ask the father, which sentence of the son said wrong?" ”

Liu Ying choked on his head with anger for a while, and sneered, "What, are you accusing me?" ”

"It's not"

Hearing his words, Liu Hong's eyes turned red in an instant, he rushed forward a few steps, clenched his fists and yelled at Liu Ying, "I'm just, I just hate that woman in Jiaofang Palace, since she came back, my father doesn't want me anymore."

He burst into tears

Liu Ying was stunned for a moment in her son's crying, and the anger aroused by her son's untaming died down a little, but she pressed her forehead with three points of bitterness and impatience

He actually has no experience in educating children

The two children who had been born were no longer there and Ah Yan's children, who he had great expectations for, were not born before they were born, and Hong'er in front of him was also sent to him unexpectedly after being hidden in the Yongxiang of Changle Palace for four years after being hidden in the snow for four years

For the psychology of this child growing up alone in Yongxiang, he can't really understand and he has become a person after all, and he has long forgotten how he looked up to his father at Liu Hong's age

Liu Ying took a breath and began to reflect, these days, because of Ah Yan, it seems that she has really ignored this child, so she couldn't help but put her voice softer, and said to Liu Hong, "Hong'er, I was considered a father before, not from today, my father will spend more effort with you."

"It's just, Hong'er," he accentuated, "you're a boy, and boys have to stand up on their own, not rely on their parents, and the emperor hopes that you will grow up to be a good boy who knows what to do, and not be vexatious."

Liu Hong sobbed, listening to his initial words, he was still a little happy, and slowly became angry again, annoyed, "You just favor her, why do you like that woman, if she hadn't done it, how could my father ignore us all these years?"

"What nonsense?" Liu Ying shouted loudly

Liu Hong was frightened by his anger, and he didn't dare to move for a while, and there was a touch of timidity in his round eyes

Liu Ying took a deep breath and said patiently, "Who told you that it was Empress Zhang who made a move to keep you from seeing me?" ”

Isn't that so?

Liu Hong looked at his father timidly, and wanted to ask, but looking at his face, he didn't dare to say it after all, but instinctively felt that it was not good, and he didn't dare to say that it was taught to him by his aunt, so he could only snort

Liu Ying came to his son, squatted down, and pressed his shoulder, "Hong'er, my father is honest with you, my father has ignored you all these years, it is because he is the father who doesn't know about your existence at all"

"Let your aunt and you live four years of unattended life in Changle Yongxiang, my father is sorry for you and hopes that you can get out of those days and be a proud child of your father"

Under the comfort of his father's kind words, Liu Hongwa burst into tears, and cried for a while before he sobbed and asked, "Then why has my father ignored me all these years?" When I looked up, my eyes were red

Liu Ying fell silent

The reason why he never knew about Liu Hong's existence was because Empress Lu covered the sky in Changle Palace and hid the news from him

It's just that the son doesn't say that his mother has been in this matter, what can he say about Empress Lu?

After a long time, I can only say,

"Hong'er, you are a boy, boys have to look forward, no matter how you looked in the past, my father doesn't want you to only learn resentment, and,"

His voice was solemn, "Hong'er, you are not only a child, you are also the eldest son of the emperor of the Han Dynasty, you must first know the truth, as a son of man, filial piety to your mother, it is a simple truth, not that you can not do it if you are resentful, secondly, the truth of some things is another fact, you can't make your own conclusions just because you heard a word from others, you always have to see with your own eyes and analyze with your heart"

Huaiyang Wang Hong was born in the third year of the previous year, and in the winter and October of the second year, Empress Zhang married into Weiyang Palace, and Empress Zhang was the queen of Weiyang Palace, and before the age of five, Huaiyang Wang's mother and son lived in Changle Palace

There are some things that can be known by looking at the context

Liu Hong listened stunned, his eyes flashed with confusion, and he opened his mouth for a while, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything after all

There was silence in the Xuanshu hall

At this time, Guan Sheng opened outside the hall, "Everyone, the female official of the Jiaofang Palace, Han Lian, is asking to see you outside the hall."

Liu Ying was stunned for a moment and ordered, "Let her in"

After a while, the lady in the silk dress saw her from the palace gate, knelt on the ground and bowed, "Slave and maid Hanlian see Your Majesty," and turned to Liu Hong and saluted, "I have seen the King of Huaiyang"

Liu Hong nodded and quietly glanced at Han Lian

This was the first time he had seen a female official in the middle palace

Han Lian looked about twenty years old, with a beautiful face, dressed in the clothes of a six-hundred-stone crimson female official, and at the same time neatly curled with green silk behind her head, looking capable and neat

Above, the emperor had already asked, "What is the matter with the queen mother sending you over?" ”

"Returning to everyone," Tu Yu said, "Niangniang heard about the Chengming Palace, and heard that everyone was teaching the King of Huaiyang, she wanted to come over to persuade everyone in person, but after all, her body was heavy, so she sent the slave maid to deliver a message to everyone."

"What?"

Han Lian solemnly changed, "Niangniang said, no matter what the King of Huaiyang does, please remember that His Majesty is a child after all."

A child, no matter what mistakes he makes, is worthy of forgiveness after all

Liu Ying's lips couldn't help but hook up a smile, and asked, "Ah Yan, she heard what happened here, what's wrong?" ”

Han Lian pursed her lips and smiled, "Everyone is too worried about the queen mother, she is an adult, and she can still deal with a six-year-old child."

If you worry about your child, you can only be angry with yourself

The emperor glared at Liu Hong, "When you go back, think about it when you encounter something, don't act like a stuffy cannon."

This time, Liu Hong was blamed, and after resigning from his father, he withdrew from the Xuanshu Palace

Liu Ying took the purple frost pen, wrote Huaiyang's son on the paper, thought for a long time, after all, he couldn't meditate, so he simply stacked all the folds aside, and returned to the Jiaofang Hall at the end

“…… The cloth to be used after the birth of the prince, the slave and maid have already selected it, and the white stack, according to the requirements of the mother, is boiled three times with boiling water, and then sewn out" In the inner hall, Chu Fumu's voice came

"There's Lao Fumu," Ah Yan said softly

"Where is the queen mother, you have killed the slave maid," Chu Fumu responded, "Shaofu's side has also begun to choose the right nurse for the prince."

……

Jiaofang Hall is as bright as in the past, here, there is a beautiful woman he loves deeply, and the child who is about to give birth in the womb is in the Jiaofang Palace, so that he can feel real peace

Zhang Yan turned around, "Hold on, you're back"

She motioned for Chu Fumu to retreat, and she struggled to get up, wanting to meet her in person

"Don't move," Liu Ying said, lifted the curtain and came in, holding down her body

"It's not bad for you to raise it obediently, so I can rest assured"

Zhang Yan chuckled, smiling as usual, as if she had come back ahead of him, without a trace of strangeness, as if nothing had been born

Liu Ying's mind drifted away a little, frowned and thought about it, and asked his wife, "Ah Yan, can you come here in the palace?" ”

Zhang Yan's bright smile froze on her face for a moment, and after a while, Fang asked, "Hold it, what do you mean by that?" ”

Liu Ying turned her head, looked at her with a straight face, and said, "I want to talk to you about Hong'er, can you hold up your body now?" ”

Note: This paragraph does not count as a word count:

The gold mentioned in the Han Dynasty did not refer to the gold of later generations, but brass, so the amount of gold mentioned in the history books was very large

Ahem, it's finally time to exchange opinions about premarital heirs

Parenting is a very troublesome topic

Especially when the family relationship is complicated, it is mixed with selfishness

Fortunately, Ah Yan's parents in the future are harmonious and can have a healthy family environment
