[Red House] The First Imperial Merchant

Chapter No.17 My New Wife Can Fly

Xue Pan's first impression of the third prince was that he was naughty and not like a prince.

The birth mother of the third prince is just a Wanyi, and the rank of the harem is the fifth rank, which is higher than that of the court ladies, but some high-ranking officials can also be overwhelmed, so it can be said that they are humble.When the third prince was three years old, Wanyi died, and the third prince was handed over to his good sister Qipin in Wanyi's palace to take care of her. Emperor Pingkang liked it, and he was promoted again, and became Concubine Rui. Just because Concubine Qi disliked Concubine Qi like an abandoned concubine, acting like a coquettish concubine, this is not a big deal. Emperor Pingkang changed her to the word Rui. .

Emperor Pingkang had conferred empress three times in his early years, one was the concubine betrothed by the previous emperor when he was the prince, and later the prince became the emperor's concubine and became the queen, but the queen's fate was poor, and when Emperor Pingkang was the prince, his heirs were weak. A child born to a side concubine, who is now the eldest prince, the empress at that time felt gloomy and uneasy, and became the queen's mother's family. The pressure from the harem of the previous dynasty forced the frail empress to take risks and conceived ten children. It can be said that Yue was careful not to get out of bed and walk around very much. As a result, when she gave birth, one dead body and two lives were lost.Emperor Pingkang still had affection for Empress Jiefa. After three years of vacancy, he accepted another empress under the advice of courtiers. This empress had a shorter life, but died in depression within two years. Those who are ordered to kill their wives are rumored to be placed on the common people. It is difficult to marry a wife in this life, but who is Pingkang Emperor?The Daqing Dynasty belongs to him, which woman in the world does not want to be the most noble woman?During the time when there was a lack of seats, the ministers of the court thought of ways to send their daughters into the palace every year, but this time Emperor Pingkang fell in love with a widow. This widow was originally the wife of a cousin of Emperor Pingkang. The emperor fell in love with his brothers and wives, and thought of a way to get this cousin. Later, as he wished, the cousin was sent to the front to fight and died. Emperor Pingkang married his cousin by stealing the beam. Love sage, all I can think of is this ex-sister-in-law who is now the noble concubine Chen. At that time, Emperor Pingkang fought with his former courtiers for a long time in order to become the noble concubine Chen, and finally he had to take a step back to make the child in the noble concubine Chen the crown prince. , As a result, the baby died young, and Concubine Chen also went. After the death, Emperor Pingkang was heartbroken and disregarded the objections of the ministers, and named Concubine Chen the Queen of Duanjing, Xiaorou, Yijia and Respect Shunren.

Since then, Emperor Pingkang has never been sealed again, even if the second and third princes were born one after another, no woman will fall in love with Emperor Pingkang. Doting and loving is just petting.Emperor Pingkang's attitude towards the three princes is also elusive, no one is biased and no one likes them, but after all, the eldest prince occupies the title of the eldest son, and the mother and concubine have followed Pingkang Emperor from the prince to the present, and now they are among the concubines. The head of Fengyin, who replaces the queen, is also considered generous and virtuous.However, the second prince, mother and concubine have a good family background, and Emperor Pingkang has valued them more and more in the past few years. Grandpa and uncle are all generals with heavy troops in their hands, and the mother and concubine are also favored in the harem. Among the noble concubines, only the second prince's mother and concubine Rou Guifei are the only ones who fight one or two.Such a situation made the officials of the previous dynasty who wanted to stand in line wait and wait, but Emperor Pingkang did not seal the crown prince year after year. In the past few years, Emperor Pingkang was not in good health, and the situation became more and more tense. The eldest prince had secretly formed a clique Well, as for the second prince, he naturally has to earn some money, but the eight-year-old third prince is the only one who is not favored or stands in line.

Although the adoptive mother, Concubine Rui, was favored, she was only a concubine, and she had no power behind her. Her mother's father was once the county magistrate of Yiqingshui, but later retired. He had no money and no power. Years old, Emperor Pingkang seemed to be in poor health, and all the ministers selfishly speculated that Emperor Pingkang could live for a few years, and concluded that the third prince had no chance of earning the throne.

When Xue Pan arrived at the side hall of Qin Xuetang, there was no one there. The little eunuch guarding the gate saw Xue Pan, asked An carefully and said: "The third prince arrived half a quarter ago, and now he is in the backyard----"

The little eunuch spoke cautiously, Xue Pan lifted his feet and went to the backyard. His students are not there, so what is he staying here for?On the way, he happened to meet Yan Yanqing, and Xue Pan saluted Xue Pan. Yan Yanqing had a very good impression of Xue Pan, especially the first-hand article, which was just to his liking. is kind.

"Does Xue Pan have writing?" Hearing that there is no writing, he nodded sternly and said: "The third prince has an active personality, he must be strict when disciplined, his handwriting is too sloppy, and he is playful... "

The third prince was enlightened at the age of four, and the enlightenment teacher was not strict and clear, but another elegant old gentleman. The old gentleman was a man of great talent but a bit rigid. The third prince Sui was not interested in studying, so Yan Yanqing took over.Yan Yanqing is an upright person, he believes in education with a stick, and he also taught the three princes. The naughty and weak third prince let him take special care of him, which made the third prince even less fond of reading. Seeing Yan Yanqing, the punishment will only increase , a long-term vicious cycle, Yan Yanqing has no expectations for the future of the third prince, and the third prince does not want to see Yan Yanqing. When he heard that his father changed him to a wife, the third prince's performance was also indifferent. It's reading, the most boring thing!

Xue Pan patiently listened to Yan Yanqing's teaching experience to him, and nodded happily to show that he understood. The two chatted a few words before Yan Yanqing was busy and left first. Xue Pan waited for Yan Yanqing to leave before turning to the backyard.Qin Xuetang is divided into the front yard and the back yard, and the front yard is divided into the main hall and the side hall. The first prince and the second prince study and rest in the main hall, and the side hall becomes the territory of the third prince. Of course, Xue Pan is added now.The backyard is lush with flowers and trees, and there is a pavilion and hill leading to running water. There are two large main rooms in the backyard through the small courtyard. This is the resting place for the prince to study with. Now the eldest prince and the second prince have long since no longer need to accompany him. Even for study, Strict Qing took the time to arrange homework and check it in the next day. It’s not just to sit there and study all morning. After all, the two princes are people who have errands, and Strict Qing is also busy with work. Here is the backyard. The main house is cheaper than the third prince's two companions.

This imperial palace has a history of 600 years from its construction to the residence of successive emperors. The palaces are repaired every year, and the flowers, plants and trees in the garden are also vigorous and tall. When Xue Pan saw the third prince, the third prince was climbing a tree. There is a hundred-year-old tree, and it has already climbed halfway. The young eunuch and the two companions under the tree turned pale with fright, and they did not dare to urge the third prince to come down, lest they would startle the third prince. Go around the tree with your hands, if the third prince falls, at least he can hit them on the back.

Didn't it mean that the children in the palace are precocious and full of tricks?When Xue Pan saw the third prince like this, he could only think of the court dramas he had watched in the past and present, all of which talked about the ruthless children of the Tian family who were not like children and conspiracies and tricks, but the one in front of him was climbing a tree and digging Is the child with the bird's nest really born in the palace? !I don't know why, but I thought of Jia Huan who was ten years old, but Jia Huan was two years old. Jia Huan's stomach and intestines were all black, and then he looked at the third prince who had successfully pulled out a bird's nest and laughed. The living environment is more dangerous than the palace!

"The third prince may come down to study after digging out the bird's nest?" Xue Pan asked under the tree.

The third prince, who was holding a bird on the tree, heard the words and looked down. An official younger than the second brother asked him to study. He guessed that this was his new wife. He shook his hand and quickly stuffed the bird into the bird's nest. , walking down with both legs and hands and feet, Xu Shi slipped his foot in a hurry and fell down----

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"

Xue Pan threw the book in his hand into the arms of the frightened companion, lightly tapped the tree trunk with his toes, walked a few steps on the tree trunk, bounced, and jumped up to catch the falling third prince. The leaves fell, and Xue Pan hugged him. The third prince had already arrived under the tree. Looking down, the child in his arms was screaming in fright just now, and now he was fine, staring at him curiously.

"Since the third prince has nothing to do, he can come down to study?" Xue Pan put the third prince on the ground, took out the book in his arms to read in a daze, and lifted the leaves stained by the corner of his robe with one hand, turned his back and went to the front yard .

"Master, master, you are really good!" The third prince followed behind, his eyes sparkling like a little tail followed Xue Pan closely. The third prince who didn't like to study was already impressed by Xue Pan's lightness kung fu. It is even more powerful than the masters around the father, his new master can fly! ! !

Xue Pan turned around, frowned slightly, and pointedly said: "I'm just the teacher of the third prince, not a master." In this era, teachers and masters are clearly distinguished. Teachers only teach knowledge and skills, but masters are different. You have to kowtow and offer tea, no matter which field recognizes the master, it is equivalent to joining this sect. The relationship between master and apprentice is not much different than that of father and son. They are very close. Xue Pan didn't want to get too close to the third prince because of his great reputation.

Although the third prince is naughty and hard to learn, he also understands the rules. He frowned when he heard Xue Pan say this. When he thought of Xue Pan's skill, he immediately added: "Students can kowtow to worship their masters. I beg the master to accept disciples."

As soon as the words came out, Xue Pan coldly glanced at the companion standing behind the third prince, but said nothing. Seeing this, the third prince turned around and ordered solemnly: "My cricket fell in the backyard, you two go and give it to me." I'll bring it!" After leaving the two companions, the third prince looked at Xue Pan fawningly.

Xue Pan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, the third prince was too naughty, he even brought crickets with him in class, was this trying to impress his new master? !

"Your status is precious, and you are still too young to do apprenticeship lightly. Besides, where is your father---" No matter how much respect is given to masters and etiquette in this era, but no matter who is the status of a royal child, it takes a long time to accept apprentices. Conti's pass.

As soon as Xue Pan mentioned Emperor Pingkang, the third prince froze immediately, and followed Xue Pan sullenly. The thought of studying was as uncomfortable as playing with a board. Alas, I don’t know if the new master can teach him kung fu. Woolen cloth?It would be great if reading was replaced by practicing!
