Emperor Renzong of the Great Song Dynasty

Fan Lingyi looked at the sleeping baby in the swaddle with trembling eyes, and asked with difficulty: "Is it a young master?"

The midwife beamed and said: "Congratulations, ma'am, you got a man in one fell swoop! Madam is really a lucky person!"

Fan Lingyi twitched the corners of her mouth, lay back on the bed, and murmured, "It's a boy, it's a boy..."

So that dream just now was really just a dream?

My child is a boy, so naturally he won't have the beauty that surpasses Jinghua... It's not right...

She thought of her husband's appearance - what's wrong with the man, the man can also crown the capital.

However, no matter how beautiful a man is, he will not be favored by the prince.Even if the crown prince is as good as Long Yang and falls in love with a beautiful man, it is impossible to go back to the palace and ask the emperor to marry him, let alone marry a man and spend his life with this man.

How do two men get married?

It's impossible for Chu Jun to be a woman himself!

Fan Lingyi laughed, and put this absurd and funny idea behind her, together with the dream that she once thought was the revelation of future destiny.

Still thinking about what to name the child!

It is not good for a newborn child to marry a big name immediately, but it must first have a small name to be called casually.You don't need to care about the meaning of the nickname, just call it fluently, and the humble name is easy to support.This child was born before the Dragon Boat Festival, his nickname might as well be...

She looked up at the colorful thread tied on the maid's arm, commonly known as Baisuo.

...Why don't we call it Baisuo...

Di Qing's eldest son was born just before the Dragon Boat Festival, just in time for it - Dragon Boat Festival is a festival for exorcising evil spirits and eliminating disasters and diseases. Little gadgets of omens, such as multicolored threads, charms consecrated by Master Xiangguo Temple, and the like.Since the gift is given, you have to come to the door. When you come to the door and see that a baby has just been born in someone's home, it is reasonable to congratulate and add some color.

The child named Di Baisuo by his mother was only a few days old, and half of the house had already received presents.

Even his nominal cousin Zhao Yiyi took the opportunity to give Baisuo to the officials, and included some for children in the share given to Di Qing.

It's just right to give a hundred ropes with a hundred ropes.

The main reason is that although adults and men and women can also wear Baisuo, it is mainly used to ward off evil spirits for children.Now there are only two children in the imperial palace, the emperor raises a queen, and an eldest princess who is in her early teens.Logically speaking, even if the two and a half children were tied with colorful strings all over their bodies, it would not take a catty of colored threads.But the imperial palace is such a place full of tranquility, and the Baisuo that was finally sent to the emperor's bedroom was filled with a large box. According to Zhao Yiyi's visual inspection, one or two Zhao Xu could be buried alive.

And this is the result of sending the prince's part to the queen first.

Zhao Yiyi looked at Zhao Xu, who was chasing Xueqiuer to the upper room again outside, and asked Liu En to catch her back. Her hands and feet were wrapped in hundreds of ropes, and the rest of the big box was packed and distributed to the children in the family. officials.

When will this oversaturated supply stop...

Zhao Yiyi was a little distressed.

Although he has tried his best to reduce the expenditure in the palace, the officials in charge of palace expenditure can always bring him unexpected surprises.

Seeing the big from the small, in the corner where he usually can't see, these people don't know how much money they have wasted on him.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but gently squeezed Zhao Xu's small shoulders, and said earnestly, "Girl, Dad is really hard."

Zhao Xu was lowering his head and tugging at the colorful white sash in his hand - Liu En was afraid of strangling her wrist, so he tied it looser for her.But she is usually very active, and her hands are a little short. When she saw a loose colored thread hanging on her wrist, she wanted to be pulled off by others.

Hearing Zhao Yiyi speak, she looked up at him: "What's the matter?"

Zhao Yiyi sighed: "There are bad people squandering Dad's money!"

Zhao Xu said, "Father is so stupid."

Zhao Yiyi was angry: "Why am I stupid!"

Zhao Xu said: "Father is the emperor, everyone is afraid of you, how can anyone dare to squander Dad's money?"

She pulled the colored thread and smiled slightly: "Snowball likes to bite my hand. Every time it wants to bite me, I tell Shui Ling that it can't eat today. Every time it gets angry but doesn't bite me, I Everyone asked Shui Ling to give him half a fish. Xueqiuer is so obedient now! Daddy is still squandering money. Daddy is so stupid!"

Shui Ling is one of Zhao Xu's personal maids. Due to the small staff in Yuchen Palace, she also feeds cats part-time.

Zhao Yiyi thought, no wonder Xueqiuer doesn't like to bite people's hands recently.

He patted Zhao Xu's hand off: "Don't pull it, it's for evil spirits, wear it well. I'll cut it for you after the Dragon Boat Festival."

Hearing "Dragon Boat Festival", Zhao Xu's eyes lit up: "It depends on my cousin!"

Zhao Yiyi took a deep breath: "Okay, I got it, I'll remember it for you!"

A little pervert, just remember to look at beauties!

"By the way, your cousin gave birth to a child."

Zhao Yiyi gestured to her: "I didn't go to see it. Liu En went. The child is only this big. It's much bigger than when you were born!"

Zhao Xu was one of the twins, who were much smaller than the other babies when they were born.

"You have delicate features, and you're just born, so you look like a jade doll. When you were your age, you were like a hairless little monkey."

Zhao Xu really became interested: "Does it look good?"

Liu En said with a smile: "Of course it's good-looking. The blue is better than the blue. This little Mr. Di grows up, and he may be more handsome than Mr. Di now."

The light in Zhao Xu's eyes grew at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Prettier than my cousin?"

"After all, he's still your cousin." Zhao Yiyi squeezed Zhao Xu's braid and said, "Three or four years younger than you. Your cousin named him Baisuo. It's the one in your hand." Basil."

Zhao Xu looked down at the colorful silk rope on his wrist, and treasured it in his sleeve.

Sitting next to her, Zhao Yiyi laughed so hard that he fell down.

On the eve of the Dragon Boat Festival, Zhao Xu was so excited that he was about to see his cousin that he couldn't sleep, and Zhao Yiyi was so tired that he had to play chess pieces with her in the middle of the night.

Zhao Xu is almost four years old, and the focus of his daily life is to go to the house to expose the tiles.Zhao Yiyi wanted to train her in a calm and introverted direction, so he invited a national player to teach her how to play chess. As a result, the national player taught her for two and a half months. The only thing she learned was how to stack chess pieces one by one. .

The highest record remains at twelve.

Zhao Yiyi tried it himself, and found that these two months were not in vain. It is not an easy task to be able to stack twelve chess pieces.

Later, Zhao Xu's skill in stacking chess pieces had become so good that the national players had nothing to teach her. Just as she was about to leave the palace and return to her hometown to live in seclusion, she was called by the queen to play chess with the pope.

Zhao Yiyi heard that the prince doesn't like stacking chess pieces, so he is learning how to play chess well, and he is learning very well.The national champion Lao Huai was very relieved, he did not return to his hometown, and bought a house in Bianliang through his relationship, which seemed to mean that he would settle here all year round.

Therefore, during the dragon boat race on the second day, Zhao Yiyi was sluggish all the way, covering himself with his sleeve and yawning several times.

The culprit, Zhao Xu, may have a belief in looking at beauties in his heart, but he is full of energy and energy.

The so-called dragon boat is a huge three-storey cruise ship with carved beams and painted buildings, and the decoration is extraordinarily gorgeous.There is no steam boiler and no sails, and it is dragged purely by manpower.

Zhao Xu tugged at his sleeve quietly: "Father, the boat is so slow."

She had never been on a boat, but she felt that the boat was very slow.

Because Zhao Yiyi wanted her to sit neatly beside him before the boat arrived at Bianhe, she was not allowed to run around, and she was not allowed to go to her cousin-Di Qing was indeed on this boat, but she was far away from them. Somewhat far.

Moreover, the queen and the prince were also traveling with them. Zhao Xu was a little cautious in front of his mother and brother, so he felt that the boat was extremely slow.

Zhao Yiyi looked at the shirtless man on the shore struggling to stretch under the scorching sun, and said to Zhao Xu, "It's very slow, but it takes countless manpower to maintain this slowness."

Zhao Xu asked: "Why can't we come out by bicycle? The bicycle is running very fast, and it's here!"

She had never seen a self-propelled boat with her own eyes, but Zhao Yiyi and Liu En had mentioned this kind of fast and heavy-duty boat countless times.

Just as Zhao Yiyi was about to answer, he heard an immature voice answer: "If we all ride bicycle boats, how will the people who stretch our fibers live?"

Zhao Yiyi looked down and saw that it was his son who was answering his sister's question.

Zhao Xu looked at him with interest: "Why do you say that?"

Zhao Dan puffed up his chest: "The reason why the boat we are on is that someone is pulling it on the shore. It is very hard to pull the boat, so we will give them a lot of money, and they can use the money to go back to live. If we all If they take a self-propelled boat, no one will need them to pull the boat, and they will have no money to live on, and they will starve to death. How is this different from killing someone? So we don’t take a self-propelled boat because our father is benevolent and sympathetic to the people.”

Zhao Xu shook his head: "No."

Zhao Yiyi glanced at Kou Yaoniang: "You taught him?"

Kou Yaoniang smiled wryly: "How could I teach him this, he figured it out by himself."

It's not that she doesn't know the emperor's mind, how could she teach him to say such words to please the emperor.

Moreover, it can be said that the self-propelled boat was supported by the emperor alone. Such words just flattered the horse's ass.

This was really figured out by Zhao Dan himself.Although Zhao Dan is young, he has his own opinions on everything, and his opinions are often eye-catching.

When bicycle boats were popular before, Zhao Dan also heard her mention a few words by the way, and after a deeper understanding, he sighed: "If everyone rides bicycle boats, how will the people who pull the rope live?"

Hearing Zhao Xu say "no", Zhao Dan said, "Why not?"

Zhao Xu said: "They don't pull the boat anymore, they can always do other things. With hands and feet, they can always survive. How can we say that we killed them? Besides, they can burn the boiler on the boat!"

Zhao Dan shook his head: "It's easy for my sister to say, but how can I know the hardships of the people's livelihood! Father knows the difficulties of the people, so he didn't come out by bicycle today."

Zhao Yiyi couldn't help interjecting: "Well, you're wrong. The reason why I didn't take a bicycle boat today is because there are too few bicycle boats today, and they are all useful. I can't allocate one for my own needs. Come on. When more self-propelled boats are built in the coming year, I will be the first to replace this dragon boat."
