The identity of the direct son - Xu I's prosperous world

Liu Jia's refusal didn't make Shi Niang sad, and she also knew Liu Jia's concerns, so she didn't bring it up again afterwards.

Early the next morning, just after dawn, Eleven Niang and her party set off.

She took two servant girls by her side, followed Liu Jia and the guards to the capital quickly, and arranged for the steward to slowly go to the capital with a batch of dried vegetables and game that should be given to Jifu.

Qiu Yun Zhuang is not very far from the capital, and a day's walk is enough to reach the Henglan Palace.

It was evening when Eleven Niang arrived. After entering the palace gate, she was taken directly to Yuehuayuan. The two maids she brought with her were not allowed to serve her in the palace, but they were left in the palace. Stay overnight in the servants' room, then let them leave the next day.

Eleven Niang personally arranged for them to go to Xu's house in the capital. When she saw the arrangement for her and her maid in the palace, she knew that she might not be able to meet the emperor and leave.

Eleven Niang came to Yuehuayuan. Yuehuayuan has not changed much from when she lived two years ago. If you want to talk about changes, it is just that the people serving in it have changed, and the few osmanthus trees in the yard have grown more prosperous. However, the furnishings in the house have not changed.

Eleven Niang knew that after she left, no one should have lived here again, and she couldn't help feeling a little emotional in her heart.

Eleven Niang grew up in the south, just like Xu's. Over the years, she is used to sleeping on the bed but not on the kang. Maybe Yue Huayuan took her habit into consideration and used the bed instead of the kang. Now Lying on the bed where she had slept for a year, Eleven Niang always felt that the time was quiet, as if there were no traces of flow, she was still so familiar with this place.

Eleven Niang had a good night's sleep, and in the morning she was washed and tidied up under the service of the palace people. While eating breakfast, a eunuch outside said, "The emperor will be here in a while, you should be ready."

Everyone cheered up, and after Eleven Niang had breakfast, the maid who combed her hair suggested changing her hairstyle to a more gorgeous one, but Eleven Niang declined with a smile, saying The toilet she combed before is already very good, and she likes it very much.

Eleven Niang has a very gentle temper, and she has always been polite to these palace people, but after all, she is from everyone and has worked as a steward, so she naturally has her own majesty, and these palace people dare not look down on her in the slightest.

Although the eunuch said that the emperor would come soon, the emperor did not come until noon. Eleven Niang found that all the books on the bookshelves in the room were still there, so she waited while reading, and the voices of palace people visiting the emperor sounded outside. , she put away the book, went outside and knelt down to greet him.

Eleven Niang did not dress herself up beautifully, she was wearing lotus-colored autumn clothes, and there were only a few simple hairpins on her head, but her flair was not affected at all.

The emperor walked past her and said, "Be flat."

Eleven Niang got up after thanking her, and the emperor had already walked to the upper seat to sit down, so she stood at the bottom of the seat in a proper manner. The emperor looked at her a few more times, and after giving her a seat, she went to the chair below to sit up.

The emperor dismissed the palace attendants with a wave of his hand, and after all the palace attendants left, the emperor said to her, "Miss Xu is disturbing your comfortable life."

Eleven Niang did not expect the emperor to be so polite this time, she slightly raised her head to look at the emperor, then stood up and said in a blessing manner, "The emperor has spoiled the daughters of the people. It is a great blessing for the daughters of the people to be summoned by the emperor."

The emperor raised his hand before she went to sit down again.

The emperor took a second look at her face, and found that she had lived in Qiuyunzhuang for two years, she looked much healthier, her skin was a little darker, but with a healthy luster, and even her face was a little tougher Some, they are still similar to Ji Heng.

The emperor didn't think about why she was so similar to Ji Heng, but just lamented that there could be such a person like Ji Heng in the world, even if it was only in appearance.

The emperor said again, "This time I will trouble you to live here for a year and a half. If there is anything that has not been arranged, you can make arrangements again, as long as you come back within ten days. You should also be understandable."

Eleven Niang responded quickly.

The emperor nodded, "It's done, I won't treat you badly."

Eleven Niang hurriedly got up and said that she was very willing to serve the emperor, and the emperor got up and left after nodding.

After that, Eleven Niang left the palace and went into the capital first. The package of dried game for Ji's mansion had already arrived. When she went to see Mrs. Xu, Mrs. Xu happily expressed her gratitude to her for her hard work.

Eleven Niang went to arrange her Zhuangzi and servants again, and then returned to the Henglan Palace. This time the emperor was very relaxed with her, even if she went out of Yuehuayuan for a walk, she was not restricted.

Ji Heng was pregnant this time, and the morning sickness reaction was very serious. Fortunately, he didn't have to get up and vomit once at night, so he slept well, and the emperor felt much more at ease.

After Ji Heng returned to the Henglan Palace, the emperor was afraid that he would be tired, so he never let him go to the morning court. The ministers found that the queen did not come to the morning court anymore, and they couldn't get used to waiting for a group of people. They still whispered and asked each other after the court. Do you know why the queen suddenly didn't come early?

"Is the queen sick? Why didn't you come to the morning court?"

"How does this old man know, has anyone heard anything?"

"It is said that when we were in the Xishan Palace, Imperial Physician Weng was always close by to wait on me. I am afraid that he is really sick again."

"The queen's body is too poor."

Although no one would say it out loud, many people would think in their hearts that they must be suffering from a serious illness, but that the wind and rain are unbearable.

In the end, he put away his profane thoughts, and talked about the topic in a serious manner, "When the queen is not in good health, the emperor is not easy to serve, so you should be more careful."

Then someone echoed, "Yes."

Although Ji Heng would also undertake some government affairs for the emperor, and the emperor would come to him to discuss difficult matters, but after all, both of them cared about their health, so Ji Heng spent much less time going to Yuheng Hall to accompany the children There will be more time.

Although the emperor invited Song Taifu to continue to be a teacher for his sons, but Song Taifu was a generation of great Confucians, and it was too talented to teach four-year-old children to read. It's a sledgehammer.

And Yang Qier naturally prefers his father to teach him, because Ji Heng's explanations are much more flexible than Song Taifu's, and he also draws beautiful pictures for him.

The children's literacy enlightenment textbooks of this era are already full of pictures and texts, not rigid at all, and Yang Qier, as a prince, is more exquisite than ordinary children's textbooks, the paper is very good, and it is full of color pictures, but Yang Qier is small At this age, he was already very artistic, and he decided that the pictures in the textbook were too rigid, so he didn't want to look at them. He insisted on drawing Ji Heng's pictures for him, because Ji Heng's pictures were more vivid.

Ji Heng would teach Yang Qier how to read and count in the morning, and let Yang Qier write in the afternoon. When he was not studying, he would also play puzzle games with his son.

During these times, Yang Xiner was an auditor, playing with herself most of the time, and sometimes fell asleep directly.

Yang Qi'er doesn't have much time to study, and he is allowed to play in other time.As a full-time househusband who only takes care of the children, Ji Heng spends a lot of time with the children, and the two children also like Ji Heng very much.

Ji Heng was sitting on a chair and flipping through a book. There was a large plate of grapefruit on the tea stool next to him. Now he relied on the scent of grapefruit peel to suppress his nausea. In fact, he also liked eating grapefruit, but Imperial Doctor Weng refused to let him eat it. He ate it, saying that the grapefruit was cold.

The baby in her stomach has been nearly four months. When she was pregnant with Yang Qi'er and Yang Xin'er, she had no morning sickness at this time, but this time Ji Heng would still vomit, and he couldn't help it.

Yang Xin'er played puzzles with her brother for a while, and felt a little sleepy. She got up from the blanket and walked towards Ji Heng without saying a word to Yang Qier. Yang Qier saw her brother leaving, and quickly followed , Yang Xiner came to Ji Heng's side and threw himself on him, muttering, "Father, sleep."

Yang Qi'er quickly reached out and pulled him into her arms. Before Ji Heng could speak, he acted like a serious teacher and said to his younger brother, "Father has a sister in his belly, you can't ask him to hold her." Sleeping, it will make my younger sister unable to grow up."

Yang Xiner looked back at Yang Qier, yawned, and said vaguely, "But I want to sleep."

Ji Heng picked up Yang Xiner, kissed Yang Qier's forehead, and said, "I can still hug Xiner now."

Yang Qier stared at Ji Heng's stomach, "My sister hasn't grown up yet."

Ji Heng nodded, "We still have to wait."

Then he said to Yang Qier, "Call Du Ruolai."

Yang Qier went and called Du Ruo, Du Ruo hurriedly came to Ji Heng's side, Ji Heng asked her to bring Yang Xiner a quilt, then wiped Yang Xiner's hands and face, put him on the couch and covered him with the quilt , let him sleep.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival on August [-]th, Ji Heng attended the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet and left very early.

Since Ji Heng went to the Xishan Palace in June, he has not appeared in front of the ministers, and many ministers still miss him very much. Although he only showed up at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet this time, he has still become the subject of attention and discussion among the ministers.

This time the emperor invited quite a few courtiers, and he also allowed to bring his nephews to attend, because it happened that osmanthus and chrysanthemums were in season in Yutang Garden. Poetry club, and the emperor said that the leader can get any painting from the court painting academy.

Although the emperor has dabbled in calligraphy, painting and poetry, these are not his strong points, and he just knows how to do it. He never shows off his knowledge, nor does he act to let people appreciate his poems and paintings. When the emperor didn't pay attention to his talent in this area, the Royal Court Academy of Painting naturally didn't have any high-quality painters, and the painters inside were just craftsmen who made standard paintings.

Although there are no good painters in the Imperial Academy of Painting, it does not mean that there are no good paintings in the Academy of Painting. The emperor himself is not good at painting, and he does not regard those masterpieces as treasures. There are many masterpieces of famous artists in the Academy of Painting.

Collection in troubled times and gold prosperity is now a prosperous time. Even though the emperor advocates frugality, the trend of collecting is still very popular. Showing their talents in front of the emperor, or wanting to get a certain painting, they all showed their talents and it was very lively.

In the end, there were more than 50 poems collected. The emperor went through them and selected a few. He smiled and said to the courtiers below, "I asked the empress to choose the top three."

Then the eunuch asked the eunuch to show the papers to Ji Heng who was resting in the Jiayu Building. Ji Heng flipped through them and found that one song was quite aura, while the other ones were too ostentatious, so he put the papers on the On the table, Yang Qi'er carried Yang Qi'er to the selection. Yang Qi'er took a brush, and according to Grandpa's request, he took out one at random and wrote a three on it, and took out another one and wrote a big two on it, and then in the quarter The one that Heng asked for was written with a one. Although the strokes of the characters were complicated, Yang Qier still wrote neatly. Ji Heng praised him well and asked the eunuch to take the stack of paper to the emperor again.

The author of the first poem is Tan Hualang, who was in the Spring Festival last year. He is now working as an editor in the Imperial Academy. He was able to attend this Mid-Autumn Festival banquet because he is the son of Zhao Zhihan, the first assistant, named Zhao Yuzhi.

The emperor rewarded the second and third with a set of bowls fired in the official kiln, but to Zhao Yuzhi, he said, "Which painting do you want, tell me."

Zhao Yuzhi knelt down and said with a blushing face, "I implore the emperor to forgive me."

The emperor froze for a moment, "Huh?"

He continued, "I implore the emperor to reward me with the long summer summer painting hanging in the study room in the back hall of the Emperor's Yuheng Palace. I want to win the emperor's love."

The emperor was stunned for a moment, and then said, "I don't reward people with this painting." That painting was made by Ji Heng two months ago when he was staying at the West Mountain Palace. Mats are spread in the gazebo, and two children are playing on the mats.

This picture is drawn casually, but the brushwork is sophisticated and romantic, and a distant and elegant atmosphere is directly revealed from the painting. The artistic conception is very lofty, but there is not a famous person in the gazebo, but a pair of children. In this long and elegant, it brings the meaning of endless life, childlike innocence and interest.

According to professional comments, this painting should be analyzed in this way, and the emperor naturally appreciates it so well, but its real significance to the emperor lies in the fact that the painting was painted by his wife, and the painting on it is his own. of two children.

The emperor was a little surprised how this person would see this painting, and after thinking about it for a while, he remembered that two days ago, he was called to the study room in the back hall of Yuheng Hall to ask about Yang Xiner's name.

Yang Xin'er's name was decided to be Yang Fengyu.

When the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Academy discussed naming him, they presented many characters to the emperor, but Ji Heng chose the word Yu.

This word was reported by this Zhao Yuzhi. This time, when the clan's mansion came to repay the fact that a batch of jade certificates were issued after the establishment, a vassal king made one of his concubine sons a son-in-law, and the emperor also looked at it. When it came to the name given to Yang Xiner on the jade ultimatum.So, he called this Zhao Yuzhi and asked him why he thought of naming this word for the third prince, because the emperor didn't like this word very much.

The emperor's refusal made the chief assistant, Mr. Zhao, also come to kneel down and say that his son is not sensible. The emperor smiled and said, "It's okay, Aiqing wants another painting."

But Zhao Yuzhi said, "This minister is really fascinated by this painting, thinking about it day and night, and begging the emperor to give up his love."

Now the emperor's face completely darkened.
