The Long Song of Reincarnation of the Tenth World

On this day, Yang Jing went to court, detoured to Taiye Lake, and went to Changning Palace to visit the two princes who were studying.

Walking to the lake, there is a bustling brocade, and a green and gentle voice came from the path behind the bushes: "The peonies here grow really well. If you read correctly, this one is an extremely rare reunion, right?"

A woman's gentle and respectful voice came from the side: "The fourth son is right, it is a happy reunion. This was specially transplanted from Jiangnan by the queen a few years ago. After several years of cultivation, I finally got used to it. The water and soil beside it only started to bloom last year."

The man laughed softly and said, "It's really rare. I should ask my third sister to come and see. When it comes to flowers, she and my third brother are very similar."

Yang Jing raised his eyebrows and turned to the secluded path.

Among the clusters of flowers, there was a young man Ning Heya, standing by the flowers, carelessly stroking the peony petals beside him with a white jade-like hand.Just this one hand is better than countless beauties.

"Your Majesty?" Xiao Zicheng saw that the Emperor was obviously taken aback, and hurriedly knelt down to salute.

Yang Jing held his hand in person, asked him to excuse himself, and asked with a smile: "Why are you here? Your brother took you into the palace?"

Although Xiao Zicheng was a little apprehensive, he quickly calmed down, adjusted his expression, and said softly and respectfully: "Yes. This morning, the empress sent someone to bring Cao Min and his sister into the palace together, saying that the days are dull, let us Stay in the palace for a few days and talk to the queen."

Hearing the gentle and peaceful voice of the young man, Yang Jing couldn't help softening his tone, and said, "Your sister has also entered the palace? I don't know." He glanced at the maid accompanying Xiao Zicheng behind him, and asked: "Why are you here alone? The third miss of the Xiao family hasn't visited the Imperial Garden yet, right? I heard you just now, it seems that your sister likes flowers very much?"

Xiao Zicheng explained with some embarrassment: "The third younger sister and the empress concubine Shu are admiring the flowers in the imperial garden in front, and it is not easy for the grass-roots to follow, so I asked this court lady to take me here for a walk. The third younger sister likes flowers, so in her hometown in Qiantang I love the flower garden in the backyard the most, and the third brother left some notes on how to grow flowers in his hometown, and the third sister has always cherished it very much."

Concubine Shu is Xiao Wanniang.Although Xiao Zicheng is the queen's younger brother, he still needs to avoid suspicion in the harem, so it is not easy to follow Xiao Wanniang, so he wandered here alone.

Yang Jing nodded and said: "Since you are staying in the palace for a short time, I can be regarded as the host. I am going to Changning Palace to visit the prince, you can come with me, and I will show you the scenery of Taiye Lake."

Xiao Zicheng was flattered, and hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Yes."

Yang Jing took him around Taiye Lake and went to Changning Hall.The prince was reciting the book, the emperor listened outside the door for a while, and when the prince finished reciting, he took Xiao Zicheng and walked in.

When Qin Taifu saw the emperor coming, he knelt down and saluted.Yang Jing hurriedly supported him and sat on the main seat.

The prince and Yang Jian came to salute.Yang Jing casually introduced in the way of family members: "This is your little uncle, the queen's younger brother Zicheng, did you all meet the last time you entered the palace?"

The prince said: "Yes. I have seen Xiao's uncle." As he said that, he went forward and saluted for a while, how could Xiao Zicheng dare to accept it?He hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it, and saluted the prince respectfully.The prince didn't avoid it, so he accepted it quietly.

Yang Jian's eyes lit up when he saw the emperor coming in.After seeing Xiao Zicheng, he couldn't help but look at him curiously, smiled and walked forward to salute, and said loudly, "Hello, little uncle."

His voice is clear and clear, his confidence is loud, and he looks childish and fearless.

Xiao Zicheng quickly took a peek at the emperor, and saw that the emperor was smiling at the corner of his mouth, looking at the second prince lovingly.Xiao Zicheng lowered his head and avoided it, and returned the second prince's salute.

Yang Jing looked at the prince and said, "I heard you recite "The Analects of Confucius" just now, and now I will test you with a few questions."

"Yes."

Xiao Zicheng watched the emperor and the prince question and answer, the prince looked respectful and answered meticulously, the emperor looked serious at first, and then showed a hint of satisfaction.

After the question and answer was over, the emperor nodded and said calmly: "It's not bad, but don't be complacent. You need to continue to learn from the Tai Tuo, you know?"

"Yes."

The emperor turned his eyes to the second prince, his expression immediately became kind, and his voice became much gentler: "What did Jian Er learn today?"

The second prince Yang Jian seemed to be impatient, and immediately puffed up his chest and said loudly: "Father, my son also learned "The Analects of Confucius" today!"

"Oh?" Yang Jing raised the corner of his mouth and waved, and Yang Jian rushed to his side.

Yang Jing put his arms around him and asked in a low voice: "What did you learn today? Did you memorize it all? Did the Taifu explain the meaning to you? Did you understand everything?"

Yang Jian answered one by one, and grabbed the emperor's sleeve and said: "I have memorized it all, don't believe that the emperor will test me."

Yang Jing laughed and said, "Okay. Then you can recite it to Father."

Yang Jian couldn't wait to recite it.

Xiao Zicheng saw that the emperor's attitude towards the two children was obviously different, just like ordinary people, he was strict and serious with the eldest son, but he was more doting and loose with the second son (in Yang Jing's heart, the eldest son is for nurturing, and the youngest son is for pampering Yes, the division of labor is clear, and the responsibilities are clear, just like Lu's father and Lu's mother to Lu Xingshi and Lu Xingchen's brothers).And the crown prince didn't seem to be surprised by this, he looked at his younger brother who was reciting with a smile on his lips, his eyes were soft, and he seemed to love him very much.

It is strictly forbidden to spread the matter inside the palace.If the common people knew about the living conditions of the two princes in the palace, then Xiao Canghai, the empress, would have done it too.Therefore, at most, everyone can speculate on the situation of the inner palace based on side information such as some upward trends and rewards from the emperor.Even Xiao Zicheng, because he came to Beijing with his mother not long ago, he only vaguely knew that the emperor didn't care about the 'second prince' born by the empress on the grassland, but he didn't know that he loved him so much.Looking at this scene now, I know that the rumors are true.

After Yang Jian finished reciting it in one breath, he looked at the emperor proudly, his eyes shining brightly, as if saying: "Father, praise me, praise me, praise me."

That cute little boy was so handsome that Yang Jing couldn't help but want to kiss him.But Qin Taifu and Xiao Zicheng were both there, he just touched Yang Jian's round head, and praised: "Jian'er recited really well. Xia Qi, bring the pine inkstone in Zhen Yu's study and give it to the two Prince." Then he praised Taifu Qin for his good teaching, and rewarded him with two volumes of Taihu Shengxuan and two Langhao brushes, but there was no reward for the prince.

When the prince heard that the emperor gave his pine ink inkstone to the second prince, there was a look of envy in his eyes, but in a blink of an eye, seeing his younger brother's eyes shining with joy, he couldn't help but smile, so he put away that bit of envy and was happy for his younger brother stand up.

Xiao Zicheng watched coldly from the sidelines, he couldn't help lowering his head and thinking secretly.
