The Palace of Peach and Plum

Chapter 35:

Ling Wei was a little surprised when he received the verbal order for him to enter the palace.

In order for him to concentrate on preparing for the exam, he has not entered the palace for several months.

Although there is no Taifu, there are still a lot of bachelor degrees. They take turns to give lectures to the prince, and the little majesty continue to study the three-character classics.

Liu Qi and Zhao Gui were also called to give a lesson to the little majesty. When they came back, their expressions looked as if they had drunk huanglian, especially bitter.

Even Liu Qi, who is so proud and peaceful on the inside, can’t help but sigh, no wonder they say that the children of the heavenly family are not easy to teach.

Although Ling Wei also felt that the children were more energetic, it didn’t seem to be that serious to say how difficult it was to teach. But it’s good to be able to share these things with others and prepare for the exams by yourself.

So now the emperor let him into the palace again, and the words revealed that it seemed to be the prince’s matter, which made Ling Wei a little confused.

Fortunately, Li Ying explained his confusion: “His Royal Highness…this time…the mood is a little depressed. The emperor wanted to let the prince figure it out for himself, but in the end he felt distressed.”

upset? Why? Isn’t it because you changed your teacher? The second monk Ling Wei couldn’t figure it out, and Li Ying didn’t say much, only that he would know when he went to see his majesty.

To coax the child, Ling Wei is still very good at it. Although he didn’t know the reason, he still prepared something, packed it in a basket, and entered the palace together.

When preparing the things, Li Yin couldn’t help but ‘stole” a small piece from the basket, which was very despised by Ling Wei.

“You haven’t eaten less, this is for His Royal Highness to eat.”

Li Yin looked away embarrassedly. When I smell the familiar sweet scent, I can’t help it. He is not so sweet-toothed.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Because Li Ying was on duty, Ling Wei guarded the little basket and went to see His Majesty the Emperor who had not seen him for months.

Before he got down on his knees, he was hurriedly yelled at by His Majesty: “Get up, don’t kneel! Go and show me Qichen!”

Ling Wei asked: “Your Majesty, you should always tell the minister what is going on with the prince? Otherwise, the minister doesn’t know how to comfort him.”

His Majesty the Emperor coldly snorted: “Isn’t it the thing that you kid caused?”

Ling Wei innocent: “The minister was wronged!”

“Okay, okay!” His Majesty seemed to be very upset, and didn’t want to watch Ling Wei playing treasures anymore, “I know about Qichen’s meeting with the Xie family **** in the Zhuangyuan Building. Jintang, you said I am Don’t you know how to teach children?”

Why did the topic suddenly get here? You really don’t know how to teach children, and I dare not say anything.

“Why did your Majesty say this?” Pretending to be a fool.

His Majesty the Emperor didn’t seem to want Ling Wei to answer, and continued to say to himself: “I have suffered a bit in my youth. After I have Qichen, I will inevitably spoil myself. I always think that Qichen is still young. It is not too late to be more severe. But I understand that this is just self-deception. As the prince, Qi Chen, the crown prince of the country, cannot continue to spoil him.”

Ling Wei said: “This is a good thing. Your Royal Highness must also appreciate your majesty’s painstaking efforts.”

The emperor hesitated: “But, it seems, I… have said too much?”

Ling Wei: “???”

His Majesty the emperor hesitated again: “It’s just… to talk about things in the court… it’s a little too sinister.”

Ling Wei listened to it for a long time before he realized that his Majesty the Emperor of Emotion finally realized that the prince was not a child of ordinary people because of the Zhuangyuan Building. So he began to explain to the prince the hardships, the turmoil in the frontier, and the cunning of the minister of the DPRK (?).

However, His Majesty estimated that his elders often suffered from common problems, and he was a little boastful of his son, so he exaggerated the dark side several times to show his extraordinaryness.

Ling Wei’s cold sweat dripped as he listened to His Majesty’s words. According to His Majesty’s statement, it seems that this peaceful and prosperous age is an illusion. The frontier barbarians approached the city, and the ministers of the Central Government had their own ghosts. The people outside the capital were not living, and there were tragedies of selling children and girls. As an emperor, he looked at the scenery on the surface, but he was actually trembling. Any policy proposed by him would be opposed by a group of selfish people. But

After all the people were cut, he became the bachelor commander. So knowing that these people are very annoying, he has to endure to continue to reuse it.

Those who hear it are sad and those who see it weep, this is Shengshi Mingjun, he is obviously the doomsday emperor living in the cracks.

Ling Wei was speechless for a long time before he said: “Your Majesty tells His Majesty that the words you have said are exaggerated.”

“I am the emperor!” Li Li stared.

Ling Wei: “…” Then what?

“I am the father!” Li Li stared.

Ling Wei: “…” So what?

Li Li’s tone softened: “Furthermore, I thought, if it was more serious, it would make Qichen think more and mature earlier. I just waited a few months…”

Waited for a few months, then what? Why are not you talking? Could it be because he was frightened by watching the Prince, and finally realized that he was too much, but was ashamed to explain to the Prince that he was frightening him?

“If someone else wakes up Qichen, it would be better than I said.” Li Li’s eyes were obviously guilty.

Anyway, I just don’t say it! Anyway, I am embarrassed! Anyway, I just want to save face in front of my son! Anyway, I just don’t admit that it was my fault that frightened my son!

Ling Wei gave a dry cough: “Ahem, the prince is still young, I might not be able to understand the deep meaning of his majesty. If Rong Chen persuades him, the prince will understand.”

“Hurry and go.” Li Li breathed a sigh of relief, with Ling Wei persuading him, there should be no problem. It’s also to blame for him that the prince’s recent silence is a sign of maturity, and because of his busy government affairs, he didn’t pay much attention. When I noticed, I realized that something was wrong.

He is indeed guilty of conscience. Neglecting the son so much is really not what a good father should do. But he is really busy.

“Just ask again, the queen empress…” Although the queen empress was very fond of the prince before, and did not teach the prince about the private side, but the empress is not an impulsive person, if she wants to teach the prince, I am afraid she will not use it. So… nonsense, right?

Li Li’s expression became even more guilty: “The queen… has been contaminated with the heat of the summer, and has been recuperating in the summer palace, but did not return to the palace. I think that Concubine Xu and Concubine Xie take care of the palace affairs together. There must be no problem in Qichen’s life. Yes. Alas, I really cannot do without the queen.”

Ling Wei was even more speechless. It’s not a question of who takes care of the palace affairs, right? Who is in charge of palace affairs, dare not treat the favored prince wrongly, right? Obviously your dad frightened people, so I shouldn’t be relieved!

Although the emperor and the queen spoiled the prince, she was very strict with those around her and would never allow anyone to spoil the prince. The consequence of this being too severe is that the eunuchs and palace ladies abide by the rules very much, and at most point to the rules of the prince. No other personal matters can be involved, and it is even more impossible to comfort and guide.

After the queen was ill, the emperor frightened the prince and went aside. The child who had been innocent and naive before staying alone held the terrified Cautious Liver trembling, and finally covered the illness.

Ling Wei said dryly: “The empress, she must be very distressed…” It is estimated that she has finally developed a little disease and will be aggravated by anger.

Li Li glanced at Ling Wei: “I let the queen recover from illness without letting her know. I will tell him when Qichen figured it out.”

If His Royal Highness didn’t figure it out, are you still going to keep hiding it until the queen returns to the palace? ? ? ? ?

This is really the rhythm to make the queen angry again…

Ling Wei said helplessly: “The minister will go and see the prince first?”

“Go, go.” Li Li suddenly stopped Ling Wei, “Wait, what is the basket in your hand?”

“Some children like to eat.” Ling Wei opened the basket. “The minister thinks that the prince will eat something delicious, and he may be in a better mood.”

“…Let Qichen eat more.” Li Li was even more guilty. “He has been a little thin recently.”

That’s why the little fat man has lost a little weight, and you realize that something is wrong with him?

Ling Wei came to…East Palace with contempt for His Majesty the Emperor? !

Is this the East Palace? !

The East Palace is located in the southeast of Miyagi, near the east gate. It can be seen that although it is in the palace, it is far away from the residence of the emperor and the harem.

Li Li originally felt sorry for the prince’s young age, so the prince had not moved into the East Palace before, saying that he would move in after the prince was married.

But this time Li Li seemed cruel, and after frightening the prince, he let the prince move to the east palace.

Empress Liu must be aware of such a big matter. However, it seems that Empress Liu also believed that the prince should be independent, so she did not oppose it.

Of course, Empress Liu didn’t know that His Majesty even frightened the prince before he let the prince move into the east palace.

Ling Wei felt even more speechless. Young children are inherently fragile, especially those who are spoiled by their parents. When being forced to leave their parents to live alone, children will be in a state of anxiety for a long time, not to mention that the emperor still…

Hey, a few months have passed since the prince? How easy is this?

While Ling Wei felt distressed, he was informed that he entered the East Palace for the first time. When he saw the prince, he felt distressed, but he was angry.

“Jintang.” The prince reluctantly smiled.

Ling Wei put the basket on the table, not even a gift, and took a few steps forward to hold the prince in his arms: “Why are you so thin? It’s only a few months?!”

The crown prince leaned against Ling Wei’s arms, his mouth squashed: “I’m lonely, so I’m thin.”

Liar! A few months ago, he was a sturdy black fat man, but now he is not black anymore, but besides his face, there are some babies whose fatness has not receded, and his figure looks obviously shrunk too seriously!

Fortunately, he looked healthy, and he was indeed taller, otherwise Ling Wei would be so distressed.

He watched the little fat man for three years, how did he become a thin man? Have you become skinny in just a few months? No matter how fast a child’s metabolism is, he shouldn’t be thinner so fast if he gets a long one?

Daddy, your majesty the emperor, you are a real dad! Your son has become so thin that you reacted to something wrong!

“It’s really okay to be lonely. The royal doctor also said it was a normal phenomenon of being taller in adolescence.” The prince sniffed.

“How many buns to eat in the morning now?” Ling Weiyin asked.

The prince washed his nose again, his eyes were red: “Two.”

“You used to eat five or six?” Ling Wei gritted his teeth.

“Because this summer is very hot and bitter, and I have a bad appetite.” The crown prince blinked his eyes, but tears still fell. It’s okay to eat less, lest you get too fat…”

“Where are you fat? Obviously you are strong!” Ling Wei gritted his teeth. After he came to this dynasty, he actually had the closest contact with the children in the palace, and the closest children were naturally the three children of the queen.

The prince is the oldest and has a naughty character, but he is the best with him. In fact, he was closer to him than the two children who said that they were uncomfortable. Especially after the friendship between teachers and students for a period of time, Ling Wei put the child in his heart even more. Even if he knows that this is the prince, his subconscious mind still treats him like a nephew, holding it on his back, and it is estimated that the degree of pampering is no worse than that of the prince’s father and mother.

Now seeing the sturdy and cute little fat man in front of him, now he has become a weak and thin man, Ling Wei’s pain in his heart, his eyes couldn’t help but red.

“Jintang…uuuu…” The prince grabbed Ling Wei’s clothes, buried his face in Ling Wei’s arms, and finally couldn’t help crying. The cry became louder and louder, and turned into a howl, all crying hiccups.

Ling Wei picked up the prince who was no longer a fat man, patted him on the back and comforted him softly for a while before the prince choked and stopped crying.

“Father’s words are terrible…”

“It’s terrible outside…”

“The palace is so terrible…”

“The ministers are terrible…”

“The war is terrible…”

“Father said that there is no one you can trust… Qichen is scared… so scared… I dare not stay alone in such a big palace, and no one speaks to Qichen! The mother is not here! Brothers and sisters are not allowed to come over! Just Qichen Alone! But my father is busy, Qichen can’t bother my father… ooh… Qichen promised my father that he must be good, grow up quickly, and not be a kid anymore… Don’t be afraid… but Qichen is still afraid …”

“I miss Jintang…I miss mother…I miss my father…I miss Jinque and Ankang…” The prince lay in Ling Wei’s arms and trembles all over crying, “Qichen is not a good prince, and Qichen disappointed his father…”

“No, my lord, you heard from the minister, it’s actually not that scary at all.” Hearing that the prince cried so much that he even claimed to have become a child like Jinque and Ankang calling his own name, Ling Wei knew that the prince was really afraid of urgency. NS.

Not to mention children, adults suddenly change to a big house that is empty and quiet and there is no one to talk to, and they will be depressed for a period of time. Your Majesty… I really don’t know how to teach children. Before blindly pampering, but now it’s facilitating it, it’s too extreme.

“Come on, Your Majesty. Didn’t the minister say that he will teach his Highness the next time in class? Shall we make up?” Ling Wei hugged the prince and sat on a chair. He retired and stood guard at the door, “The minister brought new pastries to His Royal Highness. Your Royal Highness will try it first?”

The prince’s emotions finally got under control. He rubbed the crying face on Ling Wei’s robe, and sobbed, “I heard that I’ve heard of Gu, Gu, Jintang didn’t forget to make good food during the exam. I don’t know when Jintang will make good food.”

“Chen has always been there, but before he didn’t have his own kitchen, his mother and eldest brother were also very strict about cooking.” Ling Wei opened the basket, and there were a few cute, soft, light yellow snacks inside. A bit like steamed buns, but softer and bubbler than steamed buns. “This is called steamed cake.”

“Steam the cake?” It seems that the emotions have been vented. Recently, the prince who has not been hungry very much, feels that his stomach is groaning.

With paper underneath the small pastry, Ling Wei pinched the paper-wrapped part and picked up the steamed cake: “Try it.”

The prince took a bite with Ling Wei’s hand. It’s soft, it’s a cake, but it doesn’t taste like eggs. It has a little milky and sweet fragrance, a taste and texture that has never been tasted. Although it is a bit warm and cold, it is still very delicious.

The prince ate the small steamed cake in two mouthfuls: “I want more!”

“Dip this again and eat.” Ling Wei carefully uncovered a small jar in the basket, took out a small spoon, and spread the tender yellow sauce in the jar on the steamed cake. “Peach jam, since it was made, Your emperor uncle takes it every day and dips it in steamed buns.”

“Peach jam?” The prince took a bite cautiously. “It’s delicious! It tastes like peaches! No, it’s more fragrant than peaches!”

“Okay, eat for yourself, and the minister will tell you a story.” Ling Wei handed the spoon to the prince, “Don’t get it on the clothes of the minister.”

“I won’t be lonely.” The prince finally regained his vitality a little bit before, “What is Jintang talking about?”

“Talk about history? Listen to the class.”

Ling Wei straightened his throat, sorted out the history books of this dynasty in his memory, and narrated the stories in them in interesting and simple language.

He was talking about the biographies of the princes of each dynasty and generations.

Before crossing, most of Ling Wei’s knowledge of the prince was learned from TV dramas.

In the TV series, the prince in it is a tragedy. It seems that there is no suspicion of the emperor and no frame of brothers, so it is not like a prince.

In fact, there are indeed tragic princes in history, but more logically inherit the throne.

The tragedies of the prince dispute in history are generally based on these kinds of situations.

For one, the prince’s mother fell out of favor, with other favorite concubines and other queens. In many cases, the mother is more expensive by the child, but more often, the child is more expensive by the mother;

Second, they were as aggressive as Li Shimin and Zhu Di, and went directly to the palace with a knife. But at this time, there must be an emperor who is not as domineering as his son. This forced the palace is not only forcing the prince, but even the emperor;

Third, there are very few emperors who are too jealous. Whoever becomes the prince is unlucky, like Wu Zetian. In fact, this is not the tragedy of the prince, but the tragedy of the emperor’s sons. At that time, all the sons prayed unanimously to the gods and Buddhas, and the crown prince must not fall on their heads, that is a reminder;

Fourth, it is the prince who vie with each other. And this is almost limited to the Qing Dynasty. In other dynasties, there was a dynasty, but no dynasty, and no dynasty and no long. Even the famous prince Li Chengqian was guilty of treason before being cruelly abandoned by Tang Taizong. However, Li Tai only showed his intention to seize the crown prince in front of Tang Taizong, and was demoted by Tang Taizong.

Tai Cheng is a talented person, and Qing Cao knows it in my heart; but for the sake of the society, he cannot keep on using righteousness. Those who keep him outside are also the ears of both sides.

Wei Wang Li Tai is my extremely beloved son, and I really like this son. This son was very smart when he was young, and he was very fond of literature. My love for him was so unusual. However, I couldn’t let future generations think that the throne could be obtained through planning, so I reduced Wei Wang Li Tai to Donglai. Sheriff. (Here I despise Comrade Tang Taizong, who has obtained the throne by abnormal means.)

It can be seen from this that it is rare to raise princes like Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, at least in the Han Dynasty, the change of the throne must pay attention to etiquette. After the Yuan Dynasty’s concubine was established, if it were not for the sin of witchcraft and conspiracy, it would hardly be abolished. If you meet a wise father and a wise mother, your status will be even stronger.

However, film and television dramas pay attention to drama. There are so many dramas in Jiulong Duoyuan. Anything that is overhead or other dynasties must be cast in the shadow of Jiulong Duoyuan to be good-looking. So let modern people think that as long as it is a prince, it will be abolished in all likelihood.

Of course, this is not the case. For example, in the Ming Dynasty, except for the initial rebellion by Zhu Di, all the other emperors succeeded to the throne as long as the prince did not die.

So although the prince was difficult to do, he was not as walking on thin ice as expected. As long as his mother can hold on, he can hold on himself. Otherwise, Emperor Han Jing would not be angry for a while when he was the prince, and use a chessboard to kill his brother, and if nothing happened, he would continue to succeed as the emperor.

In history, the prince of temper was not the only one of Han Jingdi.

Although the history of this world is different from that before Ling Wei’s crossing, because it is both of the Han dynasty, there is no such strange flower as the Qing Dynasty, so roughly the rule of throne replacement is similar.

Of course, Ling Wei naturally could not talk about the change of the throne. He only talks about history, it’s just about history. As for the reasons for each abandoning the prince, well, that was written by history, not by Ling Wei.

After listening, the prince calmed down. It turns out that being a prince is not so terrible? The emperor said that he was embarrassed on all sides when he was the prince, and everyone wanted to pull him off the horse. What happened? He thought that even the brothers would harm him. (His unreliable emperor.)

“Father… Grandma Huang died young, didn’t she?” The prince asked vaguely, biting the steamed cake.

Ling Wei gave a teachable look: “As for what your Majesty said about frontier warfare and affairs in the court… Although it is really hard, your majesty has exaggerated it a little. Your majesty just wants your majesty to understand more deeply. It is so serious that it is so serious. , Qin|How could His Royal Highness be recalled to Beijing because he had nothing to do in the frontier? How did the great southeast victory come from some time ago? Your Majesty is Mingjun. Although the ruler is still inadequate, there may be ministers’ corpses and civilians may be hungry. Frozen, but roughly, this is still a flourishing age.”

The prince swallowed the last bite of the steamed cake and looked at Ling Wei silently for a while.

“Guo is hungry, Gu still wants to eat steamed cake.”
