Several princes have never been to the mausoleum of the first emperor, and they are all excited to leave the palace this time.

The first emperor here is not Pei Yao's uncle Emperor Chengjing, but Pei Yao's biological father, Emperor Renxuan.

The four princes stood in a row, following behind Pei Yao.

The rules of worshipping the imperial tomb are big, everything is in accordance with the process of the Ministry of Rites, although the children are not very old, they are all sensible rules.

The children raised in the palace are naturally different from ordinary people, they have experienced more, seen more, and are less old.

Looking at a few children, Pei Yao felt a little relieved at the moment.

The imperial tomb is on the outskirts of Beijing, and after worshipping the first emperor, the next thing is to see the granary on the outskirts of Beijing.

Today's weather is good, Pei Yao did not take a sedan chair, but chose to ride a horse.

The princes are not very old, and they still ride in the car.

Four children shared a troika.

The children got on the bus in the order of eldest and youngest, the eldest prince and the third prince went up first, and when it was the turn of the fourth prince, after he took a step, he suddenly turned around and stretched out his hand to the fifth prince behind him.

"Come, Fourth Brother pull you."

Today is a royal sacrifice, and the carriage used is naturally tall and luxurious, and it is a little difficult for children to get on the carriage.

Especially the fifth prince, not only is he the youngest, but he is still in poor health now, and he was about to hug the slave who was serving, but he didn't expect the fourth prince to take the initiative to reach out.

The fifth prince looked at the hand stretched out by the fourth prince, was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and took it.

Seeing all this in his eyes, Pei Yao's gaze softened a little.

Next, the group went to the granary on the outskirts of Beijing.

It's been a good year, and it's been a fruitful one.

The official in charge of the granary led Pei Yao and other people to visit the storage of the granary, and when they talked about this year's harvest, the corners of their smiling mouths were grinning to the root of their ears.

This harvest is good and the granary is full, which is naturally a credit to him.

There are not many opportunities to perform directly in front of the emperor.

Pei Yao saw his thoughts, but he was not stingy with kindness, and he was even more pleased that the official smiled like a flower.

And then, Pei Yao said suddenly.

"Ji'er, come here."

Originally, several princes were watching from behind.

Growing up in the palace, in addition to learning agriculture and mulberry in books, I have seen the picture album, how can I have seen the original appearance of food, and I recognize it when it is made into a delicacy and served on the table.

At this time, the son was named, and the four princes immediately stepped forward and saluted respectfully.

"Erchen is here!"

Pei Yao smiled and patted him on the shoulder, pointing to the pile of grain in front of him, "Do you recognize what this is?" ”

The simplest, the four princes can naturally answer.

And then, Pei Yao asked deeply.

Ask when to sow seeds, how to plant them, how to maintain them, when to harvest them, how to harvest them, how to store them, and so on.

The four princes can't answer all of them.

I touched my head and was a little embarrassed to admit that I didn't understand.

Pei Yao was not annoyed, only said gently.

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, my father will slowly teach you in the future, this people take food as the sky, the country is people-oriented, and agriculture is a knowledge that cannot be lost."

"Yes, Erchen remembered!"

The four princes are positive, and they said loudly, small people, serious and serious.

Pei Yao showed a satisfied smile on his face, and immediately led the four princes to begin to recognize every grain stored in the granary the same, and explained to him simply, gentle and patient.

The four princes listened carefully and asked questions from time to time.

For a while, both father and son seemed to have forgotten that there were civil and military officials beside them.

And the officials present at that time looked at each other, and they all knew in their hearts that the position of the prince should be decided.

On the return trip.

The fourth prince was ready to ride with his brothers as usual, but this time he was stopped by Pei Yao.

"Do you want to ride a horse?"

Hearing this, the four princes were stunned for a moment, and then a pair of big eyes were shining, and they replied crisply.

"Yes!"

"Then come here, ride back with my father!"

Pei Yao sat on the back of the horse and stretched out his hand at him with a smile.

The fourth prince was not afraid, ran over neatly, grabbed Pei Yao's hand, and with the power of his father, turned over and sat firmly in front of Pei Yao.

In this way, the father and son ride together, which is naturally conspicuous.

After returning to the palace that day, it spread in the capital.

For a while, the whole capital also knew the emperor's choice.

In the Yuzhang Palace, Pei Yao and the four princes had not yet returned, and Fang Yu had already gotten the news first.

After listening, Fang Yu was also silent for a while.

After a while, he said, "I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse." ”

"Don't think too much about it, Your Highness, you have the blessings of Your Highness." Yan said softly.

Fang Yu took a deep breath and waved his hand, causing everyone to retreat.

On that day, Pei Yao went back to Fengxuan Palace with the four princes.

The seventh princess is still young, and now she is still a family of four with dinner.

When he went out of the palace during the day, the fourth prince was very excited, and kept talking to the second princess about things outside, Fang Yu looked at his son's smiling face, and really hoped that he could be so happy forever.

After dinner, the two children went back to rest, and Pei Yao retreated from his side and sat down to talk to Fang Yu alone.

"Ji'er is a good child, I plan to make Ji'er the prince, in the future I will take him with me and raise him personally, he is smart, I think he will not be worse than me in the future."

I had already prepared in my heart, and Fang Yu was still calm after listening to it.

"The affairs of the court, everything is up to the emperor, those words of self-depreciation, the concubines will not say it, the concubines have been accompanied by the emperor day and night all these years, I don't think there is any need for those hypocritical things, but the emperor, the concubines are still worried that Ji'er will not do well, he is really young."

While speaking, Fang Yu raised his eyes to look at Pei Yao, with sincere worry and reluctance in his eyes.

How can the prince be so good?

Now that he has stepped into that position, he will have to be educated separately from other princes, and the things he learns will be different, he will be stricter, he will have to endure more hardships, and he needs to hide more emotions.

Listening to Fang Yu's words, Pei Yao was also silent for a while.

He pondered for a moment before whispering.

"Don't worry, I won't let Ji'er suffer too, I will teach him everything about my society, pave the way for him, lead him to grow up, I am his biological father, I also know your thoughts."

"The concubine believes in the emperor." Fang Yu said softly, and then raised his hand and gently covered Pei Yao's hand, "Since the emperor thinks that Ji'er can, the concubine will listen to the emperor, and the concubine only wishes that in the future, she can be honest with the emperor like this, the emperor does not doubt or abandon the concubine's mother and son, the glory of the concubine's life is given by the emperor, and there is nothing to repay, only this sincerity." ”

"Do you know your sincerity, it is rare in the harem, Ji'er is with you, I can see that he is smart and smart, filial to his elders and friendly to his brothers, benevolent but decisive, it is you who raised such a good child for me."

Pei Yao held Fang Yu's hand and said in a deep voice.
