The daily life of the crown prince of the Song Dynasty

After Song Renzong introduced the clan relatives to Zhao Yang, he asked Zhang Maoshi to send Zhao Yang back to Kunning Palace.

Zhao Yang was held in Zhang Maoshi's arms, thinking about Zhao Zongshi in his mind.If he were Zhao Zongshi, he was carried to the palace by Song Renzong when he was a child, and was raised as a prince, but he was sent back not long after.Then, not long after, he was taken back to the palace.Then, because Empress Cao was pregnant and sent him back again, he would definitely complain in his heart.In the future, he has to pay attention to this Zhao Zongshi.

At this time, Kunning Palace was also very lively.The clan wives and wives all came to Kunning Palace to pay New Year's greetings to Empress Cao.

Seeing that Zhang Maoshi sent her son back, Empress Cao hurriedly stepped forward to hug her son.

Seeing that His Highness the Crown Prince had returned, the clan wives and wives hurriedly got up and saluted Zhao Yang: "I have seen His Highness the Crown Prince."

Zhao Yang leaned on Empress Cao's shoulders, and glanced curiously at the women in the room, who basically didn't recognize them.

"Get up."

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness."

Zhao Yang knew Mrs. Cao, his grandmother, and extended his hand to her.

Mrs. Cao did not expect His Royal Highness to know her, she was very pleasantly surprised, and looked at Empress Cao in disbelief: "The Empress..."

"Mother, Yang Yang wants you to hug him." After Empress Cao finished speaking, she said to Zhao Yang who was in her arms, "Yang Yang, this is my grandmother."

Madam Cao carefully embraced Zhao Yang, "His Royal Highness."

Zhao Yang called out obediently to Mrs. Cao: "Grandmother."

"Hey." The cry of "Grandmother" made Mrs. Cao elated, "His Royal Highness has grown up a lot." Seeing that the little grandson has grown up a lot and is still very energetic, Mrs. Cao felt relieved a lot.For a long time, Mrs. Cao was very worried about Zhao Yang, the little grandson, and was afraid that he would die at a young age like Song Renzong's other children. "His Royal Highness looks a lot better."

Others echoed Mrs. Cao's words, praising His Highness the Crown Prince for his beauty and spirit.

Empress Cao waited for Mrs. Cao to hold Zhao Yang for a while, and then took her son back.Mrs. Cao is getting old, and Zhao Yang is a little heavy. Empress Cao is worried that she will be tired.

Next, Empress Cao introduced everyone present to Zhao Yang one by one.She introduced the clan wives and other wives first, and finally introduced her natal family.

The Cao family, in addition to Mrs. Cao, also Empress Cao's sister-in-law and her two nephews.

Cao Ping and Cao You stared at Zhao Yang curiously, and Zhao Yang also looked at them curiously.

Seeing her two nephews staring at her son, Empress Cao smiled and asked, "Ping'er, You'er, what are you looking at?"

"Auntie, we are looking at His Highness the Crown Prince." Cao Ping said with a smile, "Auntie, His Highness the Crown Prince looks really good-looking."

Cao You nodded in agreement: "His Royal Highness looks good."

Being praised by his two cousins ​​for being good-looking, Zhao Yang smiled immediately, and said to Cao Cao, "You are also good-looking."

Cao Ping is 11 years old, handsome and bookish.

Cao You is ten years old this year. Although he is not as handsome as his brother Cao Ping, he is quite handsome.He looks stronger than Cao Ping, and he is simple and honest.

Cao Ping and Cao You couldn't help laughing after being praised by His Royal Highness as good-looking.

"Ma'am, let me down, I want to play with my cousin."

"Wait for Madam to change your clothes." After Zhao Yang participated in the ceremony, he no longer needed to wear court clothes.The court clothes were too heavy and not very warm. Empress Cao worried that her son would freeze if he kept wearing them.

"You wait for me."

"it is good."

Mrs. Cao and her daughter-in-law were very happy to see His Royal Highness getting close to Cao Ping and the others.

Zhao Yang found that Princess Fukang was not in Kunning Palace, and asked suspiciously: "Madam, where's sister?"

"Fukang is in your little lady's palace, and someone has come to your little lady's house." Empress Cao asked while changing her son's clothes, "Did anything happen during the ancestor worship?"

"No, nothing happened." Zhao Yang obediently opened his hands and raised his hands to allow Empress Cao to dress him conveniently. "Daddy praised me for doing a good job."

Hearing what her son said, Empress Cao felt relieved.She had just been worried that Zhao Yang made the wrong salute when he worshiped his ancestors and heaven.Although the son is young, no one will blame him even if he makes a wrong salute, but the son is the crown prince, so it is best not to make mistakes in the ritual, otherwise he will be criticized in the future.Fortunately, my son is smart, not only learned etiquette, but also remembered it.

Zhao Yang chattered to Empress Cao about the people he met in Zichen Palace. When talking about the envoys of Xixia and Daliao, he wrinkled his face and said unhappily: "Madam, I don't like Xixia and Daliao. The people sent by Liao, they are too rude."

"They have always been like this." Empress Cao once met the envoys of Xixia and Daliao at a banquet, and they were more arrogant and rude than the other.

"Ma'am, they are so rude, why aren't daddy and the others angry?"

This question stopped Empress Cao, and she didn't know what to say for a while.She thought for a while and said, "Because I can't beat it."

"Can't beat it?"

"Yes, Xixia and Daliao have strong military strength, and our Song Dynasty is not their opponent..." Next, Empress Cao used three children to fight to describe the relationship between Xixia, Daliao and Song Dynasty.This made Zhao Yang understand it all at once. "Yangyang, if you want them to respect our Da Song more, do you know what to do?"

Zhao Yang raised his small fist and said fiercely: "Beat them, scare them, and they won't dare to be rude to us."

Empress Cao was surprised by her son's answer, but more of a surprise.Yang Yang is indeed a child of their Cao family.

"Yang Yang is right, beat them until they are afraid of us, so they don't dare to be rude to us."

Zhao Yang said ferociously: "Ma'am, when I grow up, I will definitely beat them to death."

Empress Cao touched her son's little face with her hand, and said lovingly, "Okay, my lady is waiting." The blood of their Cao family was flowing in Yang Yang's body, maybe it could really beat Xixia and Daliao back.

Zhao Yang changed his clothes and went to play with Cao Ping and Cao You with Dabai in his arms.

Cao Ping and Cao You were very surprised to see His Royal Highness holding a white goose in his arms.

Zhao Yang ostentatiously told Cao Ping and the others how Dabai was obedient, and Cao Ping and the others were taken aback.

Seeing that they didn't believe Cao Ping, Zhao Yang showed them on the spot.

"Dabai, reach out your hand."

Dabai obediently stretched out one wing and placed it on Zhao Yang's hand.

"Dabai, the other hand."

Dabai immediately put the other wing on Zhao Yang's hand.

Seeing this scene, Cao Ping and Cao You were stunned.

Zhao Yang made Dabai stand on one leg again, made Dabai turn around in circles, made Dabai fall to the ground, and made Dabai gently nudge Cao Ping and Cao You.

Cao Ping and Cao You were stunned by such a smart and obedient Dabai, and they stared at Dabai dumbfounded.

Because of Dabai, Cao Ping and Cao You are full of admiration for His Royal Highness, who is only two years old.

Empress Cao was also happy to see Zhao Yang playing with her two nephews.

Cao Ping and Cao You felt that although His Highness the Crown Prince was young, he knew a lot more than they did.

After a while, Zhao Yang played with his two cousins.

Cao Ping and Cao You told Zhao Yang a lot of interesting things, and they also talked a lot about the Cao family.

Zhao Yang was very moved when he heard this, and wanted to go to Cao's house to play.In the future, if he wants to elevate his status as a military official, the Cao family is a good partner for him to cooperate with.Besides, the Cao family is his maternal ancestral family, and they will definitely support him in the future, so they should get closer to the Cao family.

At noon, Zhang Maoshi came to Kunning Palace to invite His Royal Highness to the luncheon.

Cao Ping and Cao You also followed.Although they are young, it is not appropriate to stay in the harem for lunch.

Luncheon is nothing more than drinking and eating, watching song and dance performances.

Zhao Yang was held in Song Renzong's arms and fed by Song Renzong himself.

The courtiers and envoys from various countries were shocked when they saw this scene.

Except for Bao Zheng and the others who had seen how Song Renzong doted on Zhao Yang, the other ministers had never seen Song Renzong doting on His Highness the Crown Prince.The ministers were of course very surprised to see that Song Renzong did not feed himself, but fed the prince first.

When the envoys from various countries saw that Song Renzong loved His Highness the Crown Prince so much, they also had some plans in mind.

Song Renzong did not let go of his son after feeding his son, but continued to eat with his son.

Zhao Yang sat in Song Renzong's arms, staring at the others curiously.When Han Qi and the others saw His Highness the Crown Prince looking towards them, they immediately raised their hands to salute His Highness the Crown Prince.

Seeing Han Qi and the others looking at him, Zhao Yang immediately gave them a bright smile.Seeing His Highness the Crown Prince's cute and lovely smile, Bao Zheng and the others were instantly lovable.

After looking at the ministers and envoys from various countries for a while, he felt that it was not very interesting. Zhao Yang changed a comfortable position in Song Renzong's arms, and played with Song Renzong's beard boredly.

Song Renzong was eating, when his son suddenly pulled out his beard, and looked down at his son helplessly and indulgently.

Zhao Yang gave his father an innocent and cute smile.

Song Renzong lowered his head and asked, "Want to eat what Daddy eats?"

"No, I just want to pluck Daddy's beard for fun." He said this very righteously, but at the same time he was very innocent and cute, "Daddy, you can continue to eat."

"Okay, then you pull it out." Song Renzong's words were full of deep affection.

Next, the ministers and envoys from various countries saw His Royal Highness pulling out the beard of the official family.The officials are not only not angry, but also very conniving.

Many ministers couldn't help touching their beards when they thought that His Highness the Crown Prince liked to pluck people's beards.They specially grew beards for His Royal Highness, when will His Royal Highness be able to pull out their beards.

Zhao Yang pulled Song Renzong's beard for a while, and then he felt sleepy.Woke up too early today and didn't sleep well.

Song Renzong suddenly found that his son hadn't pulled out his beard, and he was puzzled. He looked down and found that his son was sitting in his arms and fell asleep.

Zhang Maoshi also noticed that His Highness the Crown Prince was asleep, and whispered to Song Renzong: "Officials, my villain, take the Crown Prince to rest."

"Wait a while, he just fell asleep, and he will wake up as soon as you hug him."

"Yes, official."

Song Renzong gently moved his right arm to let his son lie in his arms more comfortably.

Zhao Yang's head rested on Song Renzong's right arm. Song Renzong used his left hand to eat with chopsticks instead of waking him up.However, his left hand is not as flexible as his right hand, and he is a bit clumsy in picking up vegetables for eating, and he failed to pick up the vegetables several times.Even so, he didn't dare to move casually, for fear of waking up the son in his arms.

The ministers naturally noticed this scene, and all marveled in their hearts at the official's love for His Highness the Crown Prince.

Song Renzong was inconvenient to eat vegetables, so he drank soup instead.After drinking the soup, seeing his son sleeping very soundly, he couldn't help but smile.Seeing that his son was completely asleep, he gently picked up his son and handed it to Zhang Maoshi who was standing beside him.

"Kunning Palace is a little far away, so take him directly to Funing Palace and let Liang Yin watch Yang Yang." At this time, Zhao Yang had fallen asleep, and Song Renzong was worried that he would be frozen on the way back to Kunning Palace .

Zhang Maoshi stretched out his hand and carefully took His Highness the Crown Prince.After hugging His Royal Highness, seeing that His Royal Highness was not awakened by him, he breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart.

"Officials, the villain will leave."

"Be careful on the road."

"Yes, official."

Zhang Maoshi returned to Funing Palace with Zhao Yang in his arms, and told Liang Yin to take good care of His Highness the Crown Prince.

Zhao Yang took a deep nap this afternoon and slept for a long time. He didn't wake up until Shen Shi in the afternoon, which scared Song Renzong.If it wasn't for the first day of the new year that he couldn't invite the imperial physician, he would have called the imperial physician to give Zhao Yang a pulse.

It is unlucky to invite an imperial physician during the Chinese New Year, which means you will be sick throughout the year, so Song Renzong dare not call Zhao Yang an imperial physician.

Empress Cao knew some medical skills and was called to Funing Palace by Song Renzong.Empress Cao thought something was wrong with her son, so she came to Funing to feel her son's pulse in fear. Fortunately, her son was fine and there was no problem, otherwise she...

Song Renzong felt relieved when he learned that his son had no problems and was just sleeping.Accepting the worship of the courtiers early this morning, and then going to worship the ancestors and the heavens, Song Renzong was really worried that his son would be frightened or tired.

Zhao Yang didn't wake up until the end of Shen Shi, and was taken to Jiying Hall not long after he woke up.

The luncheon at noon is a state banquet, and the dinner is a family banquet.

Song Renzong and the concubines in the harem also had dinner with the royal family in Jiying Hall.

Zhao Yang was held in Song Renzong's arms again, and he fed Jiaoer to eat.The corners are dumplings.

After taking two bites, Zhao Yang bit into something hard.Fortunately, he didn't lower his mouth too hard, otherwise his tiny teeth would have been chipped.

Song Renzong was very happy to see his son eat a copper coin.

It was only at this time that Zhao Yang remembered that during the Chinese New Year, someone would wrap money in dumplings.If someone eats dumplings wrapped in money, it means good luck in the new year.

Next, when eating corners, Zhao Yang became more careful, for fear of being bitten again.It turns out that he was right to be careful.When eating the second corner, I got another copper coin.

It is not ordinary good luck to eat five horns in a row, and Song Renzong was very happy.

When Song Renzong was feeding Zhao Yang some horns, he also ate a few.He ate the same corner as Zhao Yang, but he didn't get a single copper coin.

Seeing that His Highness received five copper coins in a row, King Pu stood up to congratulate His Highness and praised His Highness for his great fortune.He also talked about the sudden clearing of the sky when Zhao Yang worshiped in the morning, saying that it was auspicious, and it was the love of the heavens for His Royal Highness, and he would definitely become the "sun" of the Song Dynasty in the future.

This flattery hit Song Renzong's heart.

Others also stood up to congratulate Zhao Yang, flattering Zhao Yang and Song Renzong.

When Zhao Yang heard that King Pu said that when he worshiped, the sky suddenly cleared up, and he suddenly understood why the ministers looked at him so hotly at that time. It turned out that they regarded him as auspicious.

Although it is a bit ridiculous, it is not a bad thing to be regarded as auspicious.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, when Zhao Yang worshiped the heaven and the earth, the originally gloomy sky suddenly cleared up. It spread among the court at first, and then spread among the people.The common people are saying that His Royal Highness is auspicious.

Mrs. Cao was both happy and worried when she heard the rumor. She didn't know whether the rumor was good or not, so she went to the palace and told Empress Cao about it.

Empress Cao had heard of this rumor a long time ago, but at that time it was only spread in the palace, and she did not expect that it had spread outside the palace in just a few days.

"Your Majesty, now even teahouse storytellers are saying that His Royal Highness is auspicious, this..." Mrs. Cao looked worried, "I'm afraid that people in the whole Bianjing City are saying that His Royal Highness is auspicious, whether it is good or bad." At first, Mrs. Cao was very happy when she heard the rumor that His Royal Highness the Son of Heaven was auspicious, but later she learned that the storytellers in all the teahouses in Bianjing City were saying that His Highness the Prince was auspicious, and she began to panic.

Empress Cao smiled reassuringly at Mrs. Cao: "Mother, this is a good thing, you don't have to worry."

"Is it really all right?" Mrs. Cao is still worried, "Now that this matter is being dressed up, is it really all right?"

"It's okay." Empress Cao understood what Mrs. Cao was worried about, held her hand, and patted her lightly. "Yang Yang is the crown prince and the heir apparent of the Song Dynasty. It is a good thing to be regarded as auspicious."

"Where are the officials?" Mrs. Cao has always known that Song Renzong is quite afraid of their Cao family, and she is afraid that the rumor that His Royal Highness is Xiangrui will make Song Renzong unhappy.

"The officials are very happy about this." Empress Cao continued to comfort her, "You forgot that on the first day of the new year, King Pu said that Yang Yang was auspicious, and that Yang Yang was blessed with profound blessings. The officials were very happy to hear that."

Hearing what Empress Cao said, Mrs. Cao just remembered, and felt relieved immediately.

"I'm just afraid that the officials will not be happy."

"Yang Yang is the only son of the official family and the heir apparent of the Song Dynasty. Why would the official family be unhappy when they hear this?" Empress Cao said, "The official family wishes that everyone in the world would know that Yang Yang is auspicious." If Zhao Yang If he is not the only son of Song Renzong, then this rumor is likely to displease Song Renzong.

"That's good, that's good." Mrs. Cao breathed a sigh of relief, "I feel relieved."

"Mother, everything is up to me, so you don't have to worry."

Mrs. Cao held her daughter's hand tightly, sighed slightly and said: "The officials have always treated our Cao family..." She didn't say any more, "I have wronged you all these years, but fortunately you have now Prince." When her daughter was selected to be the queen, she was unwilling.She knew that her daughter would not be happy entering the palace, but she was unwilling and had no choice but to watch her daughter enter the palace as a queen.

In the past ten years, although her daughter has been a queen, she has never been an official heir, and there are many rumors that she is not good for her.After hearing this, she was very angry and at the same time felt sorry for her daughter.It's not that the daughter can't give birth to a prince, but that the officials don't want their daughter to give birth to a prince.Fortunately, the daughter has now given birth to the prince, and the prince is smart and smart, no one dares to say anything wrong with the daughter.

"Mom, I'm fine now."

"Hello, we'll be fine." Mrs. Cao was Empress Cao's daughter, and she loved her very much since she was a child.

"Mother, I have something to discuss with you."

Seeing her daughter's serious expression, Mrs. Cao couldn't help but tremble, "What's the matter?"

"Mother, it's not a big deal, so don't be nervous." Empress Cao said gently, "I want to let Yang Yang go to Cao's house to learn the art of war and martial arts when he grows up."

Mrs. Cao was shocked by Empress Cao's words: "You want the crown prince to go to Cao's house to learn the art of war and martial arts, will the officials agree?"

"I will discuss this matter with the officials." Empress Cao smiled lightly when she thought of her son's talent in the art of war, "Mother, Yang Yang is indeed a child of our Cao family. He is very talented in the art of war."

"is it?"

Empress Cao told Mrs. Cao in detail about Zhao Yang's talent in the art of war and his ambition to regain Youyun Sixteen States.

After Mrs. Cao listened, she was shocked at first, and then pleasantly surprised: "His Royal Highness is exactly the same as you when you were young. When you were young, you liked to hear your grandfather talk about leading troops to fight. Your grandfather told you the art of war, and you listened to it too." I understand."

"I remember, but I was six or seven years old at that time, and Yang Yang was smarter than when I was young."

"It's called green out of blue and better than blue. I'll go back and tell your uncle. Your uncle should be very happy to teach His Royal Highness the art of war and martial arts, but..." Mrs. Cao frowned slightly, "I'm afraid that the officials will not agree." Empress Cao's father died of illness a few years ago, and now the head of the Cao family is her uncle.

"I will persuade the officials. You go back and tell your uncle to make him prepare." Empress Cao said, "When Yang Yang is four years old, I will send him to study with his uncle."

"Okay, I'll go back and tell your uncle." Mrs. Cao wished that His Royal Highness would learn the art of war and martial arts in their Cao family. "By the way, the Shangyuan Festival will be in two days. I will ask someone to send some lanterns to His Highness the Crown Prince."

"it is good."

Mrs. Cao wanted to stay and have lunch with her daughter and grandson, but she was afraid that if she stayed in the palace for a long time, Song Renzong would be upset.After talking to Empress Cao, she got up and said goodbye.

Empress Cao asked Chunyu to send Mrs. Cao to the gate of the palace.

After Mrs. Cao left, Miao Zhaorong returned to Kunning Palace. She didn't ask Mrs. Cao if she came to see Empress Cao for something, but talked to Empress Cao about the Lantern Festival.

"In two days' time, it will be the Shangyuan Festival. Fukang is clamoring to leave the palace. I'm afraid he will come to beg you tomorrow." On the Shangyuan Festival last year, Song Renzong took Empress Cao and Princess Fukang to the palace to watch the lanterns. .Taking Empress Cao out was mainly to make her look after Princess Fukang. "Your Majesty, this year's Shangyuan Festival, the officials should take you and His Royal Highness to the palace to watch the lanterns."

"Not necessarily. There are too many people watching the lanterns during the Lantern Festival, and the officials will worry that Yang Yang will be crowded or scared." Empress Cao has seen the crowds of the Lantern Festival before, "I am not at ease."

"Too."

At this time, Princess Fukang was acting like a baby with Song Renzong and asked Song Renzong to take her out of the palace to watch the lanterns.

Zhao Yang also wanted to leave the palace.He has been in the Song Dynasty for more than a year, and he has not been out of the palace until now.Now that he has the opportunity to play outside the palace, of course he will not let it go.Besides, the Shangyuan Festival in the Song Dynasty was very lively and fun, and he wanted to experience it.

He played Song Renzong in his previous life, and saw the excitement of the Shangyuan Festival in the Song Dynasty in that play, but it is said that the Shangyuan Festival in the play is not half as lively and prosperous as in history.

"Dad, I'm going too."

"You can't go."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yang was unhappy, and asked with a puffy face, "Why can't I go?"

"You are too young to go out." Seeing that his son was upset, Song Renzong coaxed warmly, "There are a lot of people on the Shangyuan Festival, and Daddy is worried that you will be hurt." During the Shangyuan Festival, the entire Bianjing city was crowded. It's leaking.Every year during the Lantern Festival, people are injured.

"Daddy, didn't you hug me?" Zhao Yang said, "If you hug me, I won't be hurt."

"Even if Daddy is holding you, he may be squeezed." Song Renzong looked at Princess Fukang and said, "This year's Shangyuan Festival, you will spend it in the palace obediently."

Princess Fukang shouted in dissatisfaction: "Daddy!"

"It's useless to shout. This year's Shangyuan Festival, we will enjoy the lanterns in the palace." Song Renzong was worried that he would take Princess Fukang to watch the lanterns outside the palace. If he didn't take Zhao Yang, Zhao Yang would definitely quarrel with him. I don’t even bring them with me, just watch the lanterns in the palace.

"Daddy..." Princess Fukang still wanted to beg, but Song Renzong glanced over with a stern look, and she was too scared to say any more.

Zhao Yang's eyeballs rolled around, and he immediately had an idea, and decided to go back to Kunning Palace later, and begged his wife to take them out of the palace to watch the lanterns.

Princess Fukang also thought of Empress Cao, and made eye contact with Zhao Yang.

Zhao Yang understood and nodded to her.

When Song Renzong saw Princess Fukang and Zhao Yang winking, he knew what they were thinking.

"It's useless for you to ask the queen. I don't agree, and the queen can't take you out of the palace."

"Daddy, you don't take us out of the palace to play, and you don't allow the lady to take us out to play." Princess Fukang said angrily, "You are too bad."

Zhao Yang nodded in agreement: "Daddy is bad."

Song Renzong laughed angrily: "You are not allowed to go out to play, is Daddy a bad person?"

"It's the bad guy." Princess Fukang thought for a while and said, "Daddy, Yang Yang hasn't been out of the palace yet, you should take Yang Yang out of the palace."

"I want to go out of the palace to play." Zhao Yang walked to Song Renzong's side, hugged his legs with both hands, and said coquettishly to Song Renzong with his little face up, "Daddy, you took me out of the palace to watch the lantern festival. I haven't seen it yet." .”

Song Renzong reached out and touched his son's little head, coaxing: "When you grow up, Daddy will take you out of the palace to play, but not now."

"I've grown up, Daddy, just take me out of the palace to play."

"No."

As soon as Song Renzong finished speaking, his son pursed his mouth and looked like he was about to cry. He was so scared that he hurriedly said, "Dad, think about it."

Zhao Yang immediately put away his crying expression, and asked happily: "Really?"

"Really." Song Renzong was afraid that his son and daughter would hold on to this matter, so he quickly said to Zhang Maoshi, "Send the prince and princess back to Kunning Palace."

"Yes, official."

"Daddy still has letters to approve, you go back to Kunning Palace first, and father will come to see you at noon." Although the court has not yet come to court, many letters have been sent to the palace during this time.

"Daddy, then we won't bother you anymore."

Seeing Princess Fukang and Zhao Yang finally left, Song Renzong was relieved in his heart.

"Yangyang, let's beg the lady later."

Zhao Yang nodded and said, "Okay." He was fooled by his father just now.Daddy said he would consider it, but he didn't agree with him.It seems that Dad doesn't intend to take them out of the palace to watch the Lantern Festival.

As soon as she returned to Kunning Palace, Princess Fukang ran to Empress Cao, took her hand and acted like a spoiled child: "Ma'am."

Empress Cao reached out and patted Princess Fukang on the head, and said amusedly, "Do you want me to take you out of the palace to watch the Lantern Festival?"

"Madam is wise." Princess Fukang patted Empress Cao's flattery, "Madam is so smart."

Miao Zhaorong scolded her daughter with a smile: "I can see how careful you are, let alone your mother."

Princess Fukang stuck out her tongue at Miao Zhaorong: "Sister, you don't agree with me going out of the palace to watch the lantern festival."

"Last year during the Lantern Festival, you almost had an accident. Have you forgotten?" Miao Zhaorong didn't like crowded places very much. When she was a child, she almost got lost during the Lantern Festival.Since then, she doesn't like to go to the street to watch the lantern festival. "Aren't the lights in the palace pretty?"

"The inside of the palace is not as lively and fun as outside the palace, and besides, Yang Yang hasn't been out of the palace to watch the lantern festival yet."

"Don't talk about His Highness the Crown Prince." Miao Zhaorong said with a straight face, "Even if Madam agrees with you, I don't agree with you."

"Madam..."

"I don't want to go out to watch the Lantern Festival this year."

Seeing that her begging was useless, Princess Fukang looked at Zhao Yang begging for help.

Just as Zhao Yang was about to speak, he was interrupted by Empress Cao: "Yang Yang, you are too young to go out of the palace to watch the lantern festival."

No matter how much Zhao Yang and Princess Fukang begged Empress Cao and Song Renzong, they just refused to take them out of the palace to watch the lanterns.There was no way, Zhao Yang could only cry.

At the beginning, Song Renzong and Empress Cao did not agree softly when they saw their son crying, but later saw that their son was crying more and more fiercely, and his voice became hoarse, so they finally agreed softly.

Crying children have candy to eat, Zhao Yang knows this very well, so he uses this to get what he wants.Besides, he was young and had the right to cry.

Princess Fukang thought that Zhao Yang's crying would not make Song Renzong and Empress Cao agree, but she didn't expect it to succeed in the end, which surprised her very much.She used to want something, and her sister and father disagreed, and she cried too, but when her father said something to her, she didn't dare to cry anymore.However, Yang Yang was told by his father and lady that he not only continued to cry, but also cried more and more.

Zhao Yang told Princess Fukang that she was just too obedient, and told her not to cry if she didn't cry, and she should cry more and more.

After hearing this, Princess Fukang nodded and decided that she would cry a lot in the future.

With the consent of Song Renzong and Empress Cao, Zhao Yang and Princess Fukang were looking forward to the arrival of the Shangyuan Festival.

In their anticipation, the Shangyuan Festival finally arrived.

On the day of Shangyuan Festival, the palace is filled with all kinds of lanterns, each of which is very delicate and beautiful.It will be even more beautiful and eye-catching when it is lit at night.

Although the lanterns in the palace were exquisite and beautiful, they could not attract the eyes of Princess Fukang and Zhao Yang at all.The two of them woke up in the morning, looking forward to the early night.Although they are anxious, the night will not come earlier because of their anxiety.Before the evening came, they had to obediently go to the Shangyuan Festival luncheon.

Shangyuan Festival is an important festival.On this day, the royal family members will enter the palace to meet Song Renzong and Empress Cao to congratulate the Shangyuan Festival.Ministers do not need to enter the palace to congratulate, after all, the luncheon on the Shangyuan Festival is a family banquet.

After the luncheon, Zhao Yang and Princess Fukang couldn't stand it any longer and urged Song Renzong and Empress Cao to leave the palace.Empress Cao and the others were so urged that they had no choice but to take them out of the palace in advance.

Before leaving the palace, they also specially dressed up, pretending to be ordinary wealthy people.

After leaving the palace, there was an ox cart parked at the gate of the palace.

Zhao Yang was surprised when he saw the bullock cart.

Bullock cart? !

Not a carriage? !

Seeing her son staring at the cow in astonishment, Empress Cao remembered that it was the first time her son had seen the cow, so she introduced it to him seriously.

After Zhao Yang was stunned for a while, he remembered that there was a shortage of horses in the Song Dynasty.Horses are basically used as war horses, and when people travel, they mainly rely on ox carts.

Song Renzong held Zhao Yang in his arms, followed what Empress Cao said just now, and continued to tell him about cattle.

In terms of educating Zhao Yang, Song Renzong and Empress Cao have one thing in common, that is, they both teach Zhao Yang very seriously every time, even if it is a small thing, or a very small thing, as long as they If Zhao Yang had never seen it before, or didn't know about it, they would tell their son very patiently.Just like the cow pulling them, they will tell Zhao Yang the characteristics and functions of the cow in detail.

Princess Fukang, who was sitting next to Empress Cao, knew what a cow was, but she still listened very carefully.After listening to it, she lamented that cows are so useful.

Zhao Yang sat in Song Renzong's arms, put his hands on the window of the bullock cart, poked out half of his head, and stared out of the window curiously.

They haven't arrived in the downtown area yet, they are still near the imperial city.The neighborhood is very quiet and tidy, without any bustle.

When Song Renzong saw his son staring out the window, he watched it with his son, and told his son what it was when he saw it.

After a while, the ox cart that Zhao Yang and the others rode finally arrived at the downtown area.

All kinds of lanterns are hung on both sides of the street and in the sky.On both sides of the street, there are also all kinds of stalls, some selling food, some selling toys, some selling rouge and gouache, and some selling calligraphy and painting.There are so many beautiful things in his eyes that Zhao Yang can't see them all.

Although it was not evening yet, many people were already walking on the street, men and women, old and young, shopping together.

Seeing the bustling scene of the busy city, Zhao Yang felt the prosperity of the Northern Song Dynasty at this moment.

Princess Fukang squeezed over at some point, pointed to the sugar man outside the window and said to Zhao Yang: "Yang Yang, you haven't eaten sugar man yet, I tell you that the sugar man is delicious and very sweet." Said After that, she looked up at Song Renzong, "Daddy, Yang Yang hasn't eaten sugar man yet, you can buy it for him later."

Song Renzong didn't know what his daughter was thinking, "I think you want to eat it."

"I..." Princess Fukang smiled flatteringly at Song Renzong, "Of course I want to eat it, daddy, please buy me and Yangyang candy."

"Okay, I'll buy it for you."

"Thank you, dad." Princess Fukang thought of something again, and said to Zhao Yang, "Yangyang, let me tell you that there are still many delicious foods, such as snails soaked in butter, which are delicious." After finishing speaking, she thought again What, quickly said, "There is also Disu."

After hearing this, Empress Cao laughed and said, "Fukang, there are also snails soaked in butter and dipping cakes in the palace, and you usually eat them too."

"Ma'am, it's different." Princess Fukang said seriously, "The buttered snails and dipping cakes made in the palace are different from those made outside the palace."

"Do you think the food cooked in the palace is not as delicious as that made outside the palace?"

"Daddy, the ones made in the palace are delicious, and the ones made outside the palace are also delicious, but they taste different." It is not as delicious as the food made outside the palace. "Daddy, you must let Yang Yang try the buttered snails and dipping cakes made outside the palace."

Song Renzong raised his hand and gently tapped Princess Fukang on the head, "I didn't expect Daddy's Fukang to be a greedy little cat."

"Daddy, I'm just a greedy cat."

"You little greedy cat, don't teach Yang Yang bad." Song Renzong said to his son in his arms, "Yang Yang, don't learn how to eat like your sister."

Zhao Yang laughed at Princess Fukang and said, "Sister, you are delicious."

"Daddy, how can you say that about me." Princess Fukang's cheeks bulged with anger, "I don't eat well."

Seeing that his daughter was upset, Song Renzong hurriedly coaxed: "Okay, Daddy's Fukang is not good."

Zhao Yang nodded and said approvingly, "Sister is not delicious."

"I didn't taste good in the first place." Princess Fukang said with a smile on her face.

"Sister, since you don't like it, let daddy buy me candy later, pickled snails in butter and dipping cakes for me to eat, so don't buy them for you."

Princess Fukang's smile froze on her face, and she said unconvinced, "Why don't you buy it for me?"

"Because you don't eat it, sister." Zhao Yang said innocently, "You said it yourself, then you don't want to eat it. If you eat it, it means you are delicious."

"I..." Princess Fukang was choked by Zhao Yang's words. She wanted to refute, but she couldn't find anything to refute for a while.

Seeing his son bullying his daughter into silence, Song Renzong stretched out his hand and gently pinched his son's little nose: "Little scoundrel."

Zhao Yang reached out and pulled Song Renzong's beard, "Old scoundrel."
