The daily life of the crown prince of the Song Dynasty

After Wang Anshi was shocked, his mind returned to normal, and he said to Song Renzong: "Officials, I should report to you first."

"Okay, tell me." Song Renzong instantly switched to the emperor's state.

Speaking of official duties, both Wang Anshi and Song Renzong are very serious.

Although Wang Anshi had told Song Renzong a lot about Shuzhou in his letter before, there were still many things he didn't say.

Song Renzong also read the Zhazi written by Wang Anshi every month, but the Zhazi wrote about it, not very specific.

When Wang Anshi came back to report his duties this time, he reported to Song Renzong in detail what he had done in Shuzhou in the past seven years.

Song Renzong listened very carefully, and asked some questions from time to time.

The seven-year work report must be endless in one morning.

Song Renzong left Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong to have lunch together.

Perhaps after a whole morning of relaxation, Wang Anshi was not so surprised that Brother Zhou was an official.

During lunch, Song Renzong regarded Wang Anshi as a friend, not as a courtier.However, Wang Anshi also regarded him as a friend, not as an official.It was the same as they ate at Wang Anshi's house before.

Zeng Gong, as a third party, as a bystander, felt the friendship between Song Renzong and Wang Anshi.

After lunch, Wang Anshi continued to report to Song Renzong on official business, and had no time to talk about personal matters for the time being.

It was not until Youshi that the official reporting was over.

Zeng Gong left very tactfully after lunch.

Song Renzong asked Wang Anshi to take a sip of tea to moisten his throat, "Jiefu, you have done very well in Shuzhou in the past seven years. Whether you are a friend or an official, I am proud of you."

"Zhou... Guanjia, thank you."

"Privately, you should continue to call me Brother Zhou." Song Renzong put down the teacup in his hand and said, "Jiefu, privately, I still hope that we are friends, is that okay?"

Wang Anshi said very straightforwardly: "Of course, as long as the officials don't dislike it."

"Of course I don't dislike it." Song Renzong smiled all over his face, "Jiefu, to be honest, I am really happy to be friends with you."

"Officials, I'm also very happy." Wang Anshi met Zhou Zhen first, and he has always regarded Zhou Zhen as one of his best friends.Now that Zhou Zhen has become an official, it cannot change the relationship between them.

"I was worried that you would alienate me if you knew my identity, but now I'm finally relieved."

"Officials, we are still friends in private." Wang Anshi said this very seriously and sincerely.

"Okay, we are still friends in private!" Song Renzong felt that he was so lucky to be friends with Wang Anshi.

"Then Yangyang... is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Wang Anshi finally thought of Zhao Yang.

"Correct."

Wang Anshi smiled and said, "No wonder Yang Yang is so spiritual."

"Xiao'er doesn't know Yang Yang's identity yet, do you want to tell him when you go back?"

"Let him find out by himself." Wang Anshi thought that if he was startled by the officials, his son should also be startled by His Royal Highness, otherwise it would be too unfair for him to be the only one to be scared.

As soon as Song Renzong heard this, he knew what Wang Anshi was thinking.

"You father and son..."

After chatting about private affairs for a while, Song Renzong talked about business again.

"Jiefu, I hope you stay in Bianjing this time, what do you think?"

Wang Anshi thought that his wife was pregnant and it was not suitable for him to go to other places, so he nodded and said, "I am an official, I am willing to stay in Bianjing."

Seeing that Wang Anshi readily agreed to stay, Song Renzong was very surprised: "Are you willing to stay?"

"willing."

"I thought you wanted to apply for a transfer to another place." Song Renzong prepared a lot of words to persuade Wang Anshi to stay, but he didn't expect that it would be useless.

"To be honest, I want to go to other places, but this time the situation is special." After Wang Anshi finished speaking, he couldn't help but be full of joy, "I'm going to be a father again."

"Really?" Song Renzong felt happy for Wang Anshi when he heard the news, "Congratulations, Jiefu."

"Thank you, it must be a daughter this time." In fact, Wang Anshi has always wanted a daughter.

Song Renzong smiled and said, "It must belong to my daughter."

It was getting late, and Wang Anshi could not stay in the palace forever.

Before leaving, Song Renzong gave him many things, all of which were supplements and medicinal materials for pregnant women.

Wang Anshi was also not polite, and accepted it openly.

Of course, Song Renzong arranged a new position for Wang Anshi, which was Zhao Yang's previous proposal to let Wang Anshi go to the Ministry of Punishment.

Wang Anshi served directly in Jixian Academy and knew how to make it.From tomorrow morning, he can go to court.

On the way back, Zeng Gong kept making fun of Wang Anshi's stunned expression in Funing Palace.

Wang Anshi who was laughed at was not shy at all, and said that his reaction at that time was normal.

"Jiefu, now you know that Brother Zhou is an official, how do you feel?" Zeng Gong asked curiously, "How will you face the official in the future?"

Wang Anshi felt that Zeng Gong asked a stupid question.However, since he is his friend, he doesn't dislike him anymore.

"On the surface, he is an official, and I am a minister. In private, he also said that my friend Brother Zhou."

Zeng Gong squinted at Wang Anshi: "Can you really continue to regard officials as friends?"

Wang Anshi asked back, "Why not?"

"That's the official house."

"What's wrong with the officials?" Wang Anshi didn't quite understand Zeng Gong's surprise, "Does the law of the Song Dynasty stipulate that officials cannot be friends with officials?"

"Not really, but no one dares to be friends with officials."

Wang Anshi raised his chin and said proudly, "I dare."

"Jiefu, that's not what I mean." Zeng Gong thought for a while and said, "As the saying goes, companions are like companions to tigers. Officials are officials after all, not ordinary people. If you make friends with officials in private, if you I offended the officials, what should I do?"

"Zigu, in your eyes, what kind of person is the official?"

"Ah?" Zeng Gong was taken aback by this question, and he said inexplicably, "I'm telling you something serious, don't change the subject."

"Why do I feel that the official is a moody and contradictory person in your eyes?"

"I don't, don't talk nonsense." Zeng Gong's expression suddenly became very serious, "The official is a benevolent king."

"Since you know that the official is a benevolent king, why would you say that?" Wang Anshi couldn't understand Zeng Gong's thoughts, "I have been friends with the official for seven years, and I can't be with him just because I know he is an official. Alienation, this is unfair to him. At the same time, it also desecrates our friendship."

These words made Zeng Gong speechless, "Jiefu, you..."

"Zigu, I know what you're worried about, but I trust the officials." Wang Anshi smiled confidently, "I also trust the way I see people."

Hearing what Wang Anshi said, Zeng Gong couldn't say anything more.

"Jiefu, it's good that you know what's in your mind."

Wang Anshi smiled reassuringly at Zeng Gong: "Zi Gu, I have a sense of propriety."

When Zeng Gong heard this, he was no longer worried.

"Then I'm relieved." After finishing speaking, he said with emotion, "I really didn't expect you to become friends with the official family."

Wang Anshi said: "I didn't think of it myself."

"You are the No. 1 person who can become friends with officials." Zeng Gongchao Wang Anshi gave a thumbs up.He learned this action from Zhao Yang.

"This shows that I have a good relationship with the official family." Wang Anshi thought to himself, no wonder when he saw Brother Zhou for the first time seven years ago, he thought he was extraordinary, elegant in conversation, and so knowledgeable. It's official.

Zeng Gong was soured by Wang Anshi's words, and said with a look of disgust: "Jiefu, this is the first time I realize that you are quite shameless."

Wang Anshi glanced sideways at Zeng Gong: "Zi Gu, you are jealous!"

Zeng Gong pointed to himself, with an expression of disbelief: "I'm jealous?"

"Yes, you are jealous."

"I do not have."

"You have it."

The two quarreled like children in the bullock cart.

Zhao Yang didn't go back today either, and was kept by Wang Pangpang again.

When Wang Anshi returned home, he approached Zhao Yang and almost saluted him.However, thinking that Wang Pangpang didn't know Zhao Yang's identity, he held back and didn't salute Zhao Yang.

Zhao Yang felt strange when he saw Wang Anshi come back calmly, as if nothing had happened.

Wang Anshi must have seen his father, otherwise he would not have come back so late.Why was Wang Anshi so calm when he saw him?

Wang Anshi was very happy to learn that his wife was really pregnant.

Seeing that he brought back so many supplements and unnecessary items, Madam Wang thought it was Wang Anshi who bought them and blamed him for spending money indiscriminately.

"This is a reward from the official."

"A reward from the official?"

"I told the official family that I was going to be a father, so I didn't go to other places for the time being, and the official family rewarded these things."

"This... I really appreciate the housekeeper."

"It's rewarded by the government, you have to eat it well." Wang Anshi thought for a while, his wife is pregnant, so he won't tell his wife for the time being, Brother Zhou is the official business.He was afraid that his wife would be frightened when she found out.

"I will eat it well." She dared not take the tonic rewarded by the government.

Wang Anshi asked with concern: "What did the doctor say?"

"The doctor said that I am in good health, and there is no problem with this pregnancy." Mrs. Wang, Wang Pangpang and Zhao Yang told Wang Anshi about going to the doctor early in the morning.

After hearing this, Wang Anshi said, "This kid is considered filial." After speaking, he reached out and touched his wife's belly, and said softly, "We will settle down in Bianjing for the time being, and you will give birth to the child well."

"Okay." After running around with her husband all these years, Mrs. Wang always wanted to settle down.Now that she can finally settle down, she feels very at ease and very happy.

In the next room, Zhao Yang and Wang Pangpang were reading a book.

Wang Anshi walked in and patted his son's head: "Your mother has something to tell you."

"Oh, I'll go then."

After Wang Pangpang left, Wang Anshi hurriedly bowed to Zhao Yang: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince."

Zhao Yang was stunned for a moment, then reached out to support Wang Anshi: "Uncle, I'm at your house now. I'm not a prince, nor are you a courtier. You should call me Yangyang."

Wang Anshi said kindly, "Good."

"Uncle, were you scared when you saw my dad today?"

"Scared, and not lightly scared."

"Uncle, my father has always been very happy to be a good friend with you, and he cherishes your friendship very much. Now that you know his identity, if you are estranged from him, he will be sad."

"Privately, we are still friends."

Zhao Yang felt relieved when he heard this.

"Then my father must be very happy." After speaking, he thought of Wang Pangpang, "Uncle, don't tell Pangpang about my identity just now."

"I didn't intend to tell him, nor did I intend to tell your aunt." After Wang Anshi finished speaking, he added, "Let Wang Pangpang find out by himself."

"My aunt is pregnant now, if she knows our identities, she will definitely be frightened, and it will be bad for the fetus, so it is right not to tell." Zhao Yang nodded and said, "As for Wang Pangpang, let him find out by himself. "

"With his brain, he won't find out for a while." Wang Anshi demoted his son, not polite at all.

After a while, Wang Pangpang came back, and unceremoniously drove Wang Anshi out of his room, telling his father not to disturb their reading.

When it was time for dinner at night, Wang Anshi treated Zhao Yang the same as before, which surprised Zhao Yang.

Wang Anshi is an open-minded and cheerful person, and he will not become cautious or twitchy just because he knows Zhao Yang's identity.
