Chapter 53: Back to Normal
Fu Shiya, who was guarding the corner of the Imperial Garden, finally found a chance encounter after squatting for three days in a row.
"The courtiers have seen His Royal Highness the Prince, the Crown Princess." Fu Shiya saluted the two of them with the demeanor of a noble girl.
Yan Huai led Yuan Yuan to pass by without squinting, not a single extra corner of the eye was given to her, and Fu Shiya kept her posture and froze in place.
The palace maids who passed by all showed disdain, and they thought that they were the niece of the favorite concubine, if she hadn't had a good father, I am afraid that there would have been no Fu Guiren in the harem.
"Yan Shenzhi, why is that Miss Fu here? It seems to be waiting for you on purpose. Yuan Yuan turned his head and looked back, and saw that she was still in place, but that look was a little scary.
"Can you practice today's words?" Yan Huai turned a deaf ear to her muttering, and just asked about the things she cared about.
When it comes to practicing calligraphy, the whole person is not good, Yan Shenzhi is simply a big villain! actually asked her to practice an article every day, saying that she couldn't waste her studies? Come on! She's still a child, wow, Yan Shenzhi is simply disrespectful and bullying children!
"Yan Shenzhi, don't talk to me! I don't want to pay attention to you! Yuan Yuan twisted his little neck and glared at him angrily.
"Didn't write it again?"
It's no wonder that Yan Huai grabbed her homework tightly, mainly because the little girl was difficult to entangle, and the words that were a little difficult were used to tricking her and refusing to practice, Tsing Yi and others used to feel sorry for her, and as soon as she shouted that she was tired, she asked Tsing Yi and others to disarm and surrender, where was she willing to force her.
"I won't, those words are so hard to write! Yan Shenzhi, I haven't been out of the palace to play for a long time, can you take me out to play? β
Yuan Yuan jumped wildly on the verge of Yan Huai's imminent anger without any eyesight, and shook his palms flatteringly, and coquettishly with a milky voice.
"After writing the notes you owe today and yesterday, Lone will take you out to play."
Yan Huai insisted unmoved that she finish the homework she assigned first, and the little girl was so angry that she didn't even hold his hand, and stepped on the road under her feet hard, as if she regarded the ground as Yan Huai.
Seeing that Fu Shiya's gaze lingered on the crown prince and the crown princess who had already walked away in front of her, the palace maid who was traveling with her had to remind her loudly, "Miss Fu, we should go back, the princess is still waiting for you." β
"Let's go." Fu Shiya retracted her humiliated gaze and followed the palace maid to Chuxiu Palace in the opposite direction.
After another half a month of busyness, I was willing to resume the hard life of going to school at the National Academy, and I was caught up from the soft bed on time by the cold-blooded and ruthless Yan Huai every day.
Because the two got married, it was even more convenient for Yan Huai's vicious behavior, even if she was angry in her heart, she couldn't refute it, because her little sister was waiting for her eagerly at the National Academy.
"Obediently, tomorrow I will take you back to the Gongfu to visit Grandpa Yuan." Yan Huai reached out and touched the top of her hair to soothe her manic little emotions.
"Then you mean what you say!" The little girl was afraid that he would regret it, so she immediately took his hand and pulled the hook and stamped it.
"Hmm."
Tomorrow, Emperor Yan wants to select the show girls who have entered the palace, Yan Huai doesn't want to see a group of women vying for power and favor to annoy herself and the little girl, so she simply can't see it.
With Yan Huai's guarantee, he was originally willing to be led by Tsing Yi to go to school at the National Academy, and Yan Huai also reduced the number of times he went to the Qinzheng Palace since Emperor Yan wanted to choose a concubine, and more often chose to study in the upper study, and Emperor Yan and Taifu Pang, who taught him, would examine his homework every day.
Since the death of Empress Wen, the ministers of the court and China have automatically formed two factions, one is the civil officials headed by Prime Minister Fu Cheng, and Emperor Yan wants to advise the prince to accept the teachings of Taifu Pang in the upper study with the prince.
The other faction of military attachΓ©s, led by General Guo, advised the princes to take martial arts classes together and conduct martial arts assessments twice a month.
Although they have their own opinions, their purpose is obvious, they are all seeking more benefits for the princes they want to support, taking the opportunity to carve up Yan Huai's uniqueness in the palace, and trying to shake the prince candidate in Emperor Yan's heart.
"Presumptuous! You are all presumptuous! β
"Everyone wants to bully Shenzhi when Wan'er is gone? I'm not dead yet! Dayan can't take your turn to call the shots! Emperor Yan angrily pointed at the courtiers under him and roared angrily.
The Son of Heaven was furious, and the civil and military officials did not dare to say more, and knelt on the ground one by one to plead guilty, "Your Majesty forgives your sins!" The ministers know their mistakes. β
"In the future, if I hear such disloyal and unfilial words, you don't have to come to this hall to discuss politics again!" Emperor Yan threw down his words in anger and left, and Juan hurriedly followed in small steps.
Emperor Yan strode to the door of the upper study with a calm face, listening to Yan Huai read the famous sayings and ancient sentences in the "University" one by one, and felt relieved in his heart, Wan'er left such an excellent eldest son for the sky, what he could do was to keep the position of the prince that belonged to him.
Seeing that his face gradually softened, Juan said tentatively in a gentle voice, "Your Majesty, can you let Taifu Pang examine His Highness's homework?" β
"No need, let Shenzhi concentrate on studying, and I will go to the National Academy to see the other princes." Although he values his eldest son more as a crown prince, this does not mean that he does not care about the homework of his other children.
"Your Royal Highness is also studying at the National Academy, would you like to stop by and have a look?" Since Yuan Yuan and Yan Huai got married, the palace people spontaneously called Yuan Yuan His Royal Highness, instead of the crown princess Niangniang, who sounded high and unapproachable.
Speaking of original wishes, Emperor Yan has not gotten along with the little girl for a long time, and she rarely appears in front of him, and sure enough, without Wan'er, not only does his son not want to take care of himself, but even the little girl who has always been happy and jumps away is no longer close to him.
"Let's go check it out."
"Yes, Your Majesty wants to use a chariot?"
"No need, I want to go too." After Emperor Yan finished speaking, Juan led him in the direction of the National Academy, and the palace people behind him kept a constant distance to follow.
When he arrived at the National Academy, Juan first led Emperor Yan to the classroom where Yuan Yuan was, and the young master was explaining the interpretation of the Analects to the students.
"I am five out of ten and am determined to learn, thirty and stand, forty and not confused, fifty and know the destiny of heaven, sixty and obedient, seventy and do what I want, do not exceed the rules."
The students read it to the young master, and then quietly listened to the young master's explanation, "I have the ambition to learn at the age of fifteen, the foundation of my life at the age of thirty, the direction of my mind at the age of forty is not confused, the age of fifty knows that my fate is like this, the age of sixty can listen to the words and is not affected, the age of seventy moves with my heart, and does not exceed the rules." β
"Is there any student who has any doubts? You can raise your hand to ask questions. After speaking, the young master swept over the students under the seat, expecting the students' response.
Yuan Yuan raised his hand with a puzzled and disapproving face and asked, "Sir, I don't think that's right, why did the person in the book only read at the age of fifteen?" But we have to go to the national academy at the age of five? Sir, I don't think it's right to write like that. β
I wanted to say it in an orderly manner, and the students in the classroom also questioned the interpretation of the young master's explanation, and the originally quiet classroom became lively, and you and I overshadowed the young master's argument with every word.
