Chapter 623: The Four Princes (1)
As Fang Yu's first child, it was still very difficult to come, and there is no doubt that Fang Yu loved the four princes at the top of his heart.
This has nothing to do with men and women, but it is really because when the fourth prince was born, he was too weak, so that the imperial doctor said that he could only grow up safely after ten years of age.
There is such a sentence, which mother who loves her child will not care for it?
Fang Yu is not afraid of others saying that she raises her children delicately, she just wants the fourth prince to grow up safely.
So since the birth of the four princes, it is really very delicate to take care of, and it is completely appropriate to describe it as being afraid of falling off in your hand and being afraid of melting in your mouth.
The imperial doctor came to see Ping An Pulse twice a day in the morning and evening, and the nurses and others who were waiting beside the four princes were almost half of the pediatric experts.
Of course, Fang Yu knew that it was hard to take care of a frail child like the fourth prince, so he was also very generous to those who served people, and rewarded and subsidized them, and because she was favored, the people below did not dare to be careless, so after so many years of fine care, when the fourth prince was raised to the age of five or six, he was no different from an ordinary healthy child.
Imperial Physician Zeng sighed that Fang Yu had indeed put ten percent of his efforts into the four princes.
Outsiders can see the intentions, and the fourth prince himself naturally knows how well his mother treats him.
So since he was a child, the fourth prince has felt sorry for Fang Yu and is filial to Fang Yu.
This kind of filial piety is especially manifested in the fact that after the four princes began to enlighten and study, with the teaching of the master, they learned the rules and etiquette, and the way of benevolence and filial piety, and they became more and more sensible.
In particular, Fang Yu will take care of the child's body and educate the child clearly.
She feels sorry for the four princes, but distress is not doting, so she is not soft at all in educating the four princes.
At the beginning, the four princes teased the master, Pei Yao didn't think it was a big deal, but Fang Yu changed his gentle attitude in the past and educated the four princes fiercely.
If you love your child, you can't raise your child crookedly, Fang Yu has always thought so in her heart.
In fact, she was indeed right to teach like this, and the four princes grew up very well.
Filial piety and respect for elders, friendly brothers, and excellent in schoolwork.
But even if the fourth prince was so good, Fang Yu really didn't want him to compete for the crown prince from the beginning.
First, Fang Yu was worried that the fourth prince was not in good health and could not withstand such twists and turns, so she accompanied Pei Yao through the battle for the heir, she knew too well the hardships along the way.
Just be an idle prince and have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life, what's so bad?
What's more, after seeing too much of the open and secret battles between the women of Pei Yao's harem, and the loss of the imperial heir, Fang Yu really didn't want his son to live in such an environment in the future, and he would not be at peace.
Besides, the four princes are neither eldest nor elder, and they are not easy to fight at all.
At that time, the five princes had not yet had an accident, and the relationship between the queen and Fang Yu was also harmonious, Fang Yu had thought about it, as long as the five princes were a good child, there was nothing bad about their son-in-law ascending the throne.
As long as you can accommodate the four princes and her, you will be stable for a lifetime.
But in the world, where can things be as good as they should be?
The various changes in the back also slowly pushed the four princes step by step and sat on the throne of the crown prince.
At this time, even if Fang Yu knew that being a prince was not good in all kinds of ways, she couldn't help but plan for the four princes.
A prince who has been discussed as a prince, unless he completely loses power in the future and has nothing to do with the throne, will definitely become a thorn in the side of other ambitions.
But what Fang Yu didn't know was that the fourth prince was interested in the position of the crown prince in his own heart.
The children who grew up in the palace, without saying it, can see more, listen more, learn more, and understand in their hearts?
Don't look at the fourth prince who is lively and jumping all day long, in my heart, this kid thinks no less than anyone else.
How can you not understand the truth that wolves have more meat and less meat.
There is only one father, and there is only so much favor, and the mother concubine takes up almost everything, so the others will naturally want to fight and rob.
For so many years, it was not easy for his mother to protect him and his second sister to grow up.
And although no one in the Jade Palace mentioned it, the four princes also secretly knew about Fang Yu's past, and they knew how difficult it was for Fang Yu to get to this day.
So, if he doesn't become a prince or an emperor, will the mothers of the other brothers be able to let go of the women who have suppressed them for many years in the future?
Even if he saves his life, he will be inferior in the future, and he must be restrained and careful everywhere.
Thinking of the concubine being so groveling in front of others, the four princes were the first unhappy in their hearts.
So he studied hard and worked hard to make his father like him more and give him more opportunities.
But even if he was interested in the crown prince's position, the fourth prince never regarded the eldest prince and the fifth prince as enemies.
The eldest brother is kind and gentle, and he has always taken good care of him, brother and friend, and the younger brother should be respectful.
And the fifth prince, at the beginning, he really didn't like this younger brother very much, but later the master said that the gentleman is square and virtuous.
The fourth prince suddenly figured it out, his own mind is not right, he has no virtue, how can he take on a big responsibility, he can't compare to the fifth prince in the future, he deserves it.
Besides, it's still the same sentence, brothers, friends, brothers.
He, who is an elder brother, never treats his younger brother from the beginning, and treats his younger brother badly, how can he get his younger brother's respect?
After figuring out this layer, looking at the five princes will not be as unpleasant as it was at the beginning.
The friendship between children is always purer.
In addition, the queen thinks that the five princes are young, so she has never said anything in front of him, and her teaching on weekdays is centered on schoolwork, so the five princes' minds are also pure, and whoever treats him well, he will naturally be close to whom.
came and went, and the relationship between the two children became close.
Later, the fifth prince experienced something like that, and after the fourth prince found out, he was a little overwhelmed for a while.
He could see that the eldest brother was not interested in the position of the crown prince, and the third brother was not to mention because of his birth, but the fifth brother's talent was not worse than him, so in his heart, in addition to brotherhood, the fourth prince also secretly regarded the fifth prince as a competitor.
suddenly told him that the fifth prince was unqualified for the crown prince, and he was the only one left, and the fourth prince was in a mess for several days.
But it was soon adjusted.
It doesn't matter if he is left alone, then he will take care of everyone, his father often talks about the pain of fratricide, and the fourth prince thinks that as long as he becomes the prince, he may be able to make his brothers well.
In fact, he did.
Pei Yao's seven children, four sons and three daughters, are all close and harmonious.
It can be said that counting up and looking back, there has never been such a scene of royal harmony.
This is also one of the many things that the four princes have done, which makes Pei Yao the most relieved and satisfied.
But such a child who is good anywhere, but in marriage, it broke Pei Yao and Fang Yu's hearts.
The other six children are added together, and it is not difficult for the four princes to do it alone.
So much so that the good-tempered Fang Yu couldn't help but scold him fiercely and drove people out of the palace.
