The family has a throne to inherit

Empress Xie took Situ Jin to watch the imperial chariot leave, and then took Situ Jin's hand into the inner hall. There is no queen mother in the palace now, and Empress Xie is too lazy to make any greetings. The concubines from various palaces came to pay their respects, and at other times, she didn't bother to pay attention to the jealousy between those concubines.

Empress Xie had long since lost her girlish thoughts about the Holy Majesty. When Empress Xie was proposed to marry the Holy Majesty, she still had a little longing. Giving marriage also has the meaning of paving the way for the Holy One.Empress Xie's background was not much lower than that of the previous ones, and she had spent a period of time at the beginning, so it was inevitable that she had some unrealistic ideas.

When the Holy Majesty succeeded to the throne, Empress Xie only got the title of Concubine Ning, and none of the titles of Concubine Guide, Shuxian, and Fourth Concubine. This is how Empress Xie knows what is unpredictable and what is Emperor's mind.What's more, Empress Xie has no physical problems, but she has no children for so many years. It would be strange if she had no thoughts in her heart.Now thinking about the competitive heart she used to have, Empress Xie finds it funny, instead of counting on the occasional pity from the Holy Spirit like a resentful woman, it would be better to raise flowers and tease birds in Changning Palace!

That's right, Empress Xie raised a parrot, which was a tribute from Qianxiang Kingdom. She was very good at talking. Now Empress Xie is keen to teach this parrot named Linglong to read poems. This parrot is still smart, but Generally, only half of a poem can be read, and the next half of the sentence is not remembered. Empress Xie was not in a hurry, so she taught it slowly.

Situ Jin watched with some melancholy as Empress Xie taught Linglong to read "Plucking Wei, Cai Wei, Wei also stops", and the parrot kept chanting: "Cai Wei, Cai Wei, Cai Wei, Cai Wei!" Then He said pitifully: "My queen, I really want to go to school! Can't I be the same as before, and learn from my mother?" Situ Jin didn't have any obsession with knowledge. Two years ago, Queen Xie I took a few enlightenment books like Sanbaiqian and taught him to read, and he learned quite quickly.

Empress Xie smiled and nodded his forehead, and said, "How can you not go to school? Your father has always said that you must go if you want to go, so you should admit it! Fortunately, there is only one day before your birthday." It's a month, so you can take the time to relax!"

Situ Jin nodded dejectedly. If he had known earlier, he would not be talking nonsense. However, Empress Xie seemed to see what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "You, put it outside, ordinary officials and eunuchs can start studying at the age of three or four. , you, a prince, can't just follow me to learn something that women and other people would learn!"

After thinking about it, Empress Xie said: "Xiaoqi, you are not very studious, and the royal family does not need you princes to take the exam for the number one scholar. Oh, you want to test for Hua, it is unnecessary, gentlemen, you The requirements are not too high, even if you are mischievous, there are companions to carry it! Well, you should also choose a companion, what kind of companion do you want?"

Situ Jin blinked and said, "Well, the queen mother can help me choose, I have no objection!"

A smile appeared on Empress Xie's face, she tapped Situ Jin's head lightly, and said, "You're such a cunning little fellow!"

Situ Jin blinked and just smiled.It's a good job for the prince to accompany the prince to read, and the older princes don't mind it. If you do the companion, you can be regarded as completely standing in line. Situ Jin is much younger than the eldest prince and the prince. The dust has settled. After all, Mr. Lai, under normal circumstances, no one would choose a little kid to be the emperor.Situ Jin is the adopted son of his successor. No matter who becomes the emperor in the future, the successor will be the queen mother, and Situ Jin is at least a prince, not the kind of marginalized prince who can hold some real power no matter what. At that time, as his reading companion, I could reap some benefits no matter what.

Therefore, being a companion reading with the prince Situ Jin is a matter with more benefits and less risk.Of course, it is limited to those who are noble or who do not plan to rely on the imperial examination to become an official.After all, although the teachers in the palace school are all top Hanlin scholars, they don’t talk about stereotyped writing. After all, no matter whether they are princes or clan children who can study in the palace school, they don’t need to take any imperial examinations. If you want to learn any art, you can just dream!

Situ Jin handed over this matter to Empress Xie, and Empress Xie would naturally be able to use the prince's companionship to get some benefits, for example, to sell some favors to some people, and to have the qualifications of being a prince's companion, when Enyin becomes an official in the future, It is also a capital.

Of course, if the companion is very precocious, the connections he has made in the palace school are enough for him to get along well in the future.

Situ Jin is now preoccupied with that multi-dimensional forum, and doesn't care much about other things. He doesn't know the situation outside at all. The people he knows are only in the palace, and the Xie family who occasionally come to the palace to say hello. As for the others Even if she would enter the palace to attend the palace banquet during the New Year's Eve, Situ Jin, with her small stature, obviously wouldn't have any contact with those people, even if they were familiar, it was impossible.

After playing with Empress Xie for a while, having a snack, and reading a few more pages with Empress Xie, Situ Jin returned to her side hall.

"Go and find out, what's the situation in Gongxue now?" Situ Jin lay on his small table and fiddled with Kong Mingsuo for a while, and after thinking about it, Situ Jin ordered Li Xing on the side to say.

Li Xing quickly agreed. The palace rules are strict, and there are very few places that palace people like them can go. Even if they go out to run errands, they can't go out alone. At least two people should be in a group to avoid any collusion. , There are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom. For these palace people, there is always their own channel.What's more, the matter of the palace school is not a secret, at most it is a little troublesome to inquire about the positions of everyone in the palace school, and the rest, in fact, you will know after a little inquiring.

Although Li Xing is young, he has been in the palace for seven or eight years.This is also a normal thing, most of the eunuchs were still young when they were castrated, and it is easier to get through that test when they are young, but the wounds are not easy to heal when they are older.What's more, the younger ones are actually easier to cultivate.Poor families have so many children that they cannot afford to support them. In order to sell them for more money, some families will ask someone to castrate them at home and ask someone to sell them into the palace. Although there has been a ban for a long time, it means that private castration is not allowed, but this kind of thing has never happened. Can't stop.

Li Xing can't remember where his hometown is. He only remembers that there was a disaster one year, and the family couldn't live on, so he sold him to Ren Yazi. He was handsome, and Ren Yazi almost sold him out. He gave it to the theater troupe, and later an old eunuch went out of the palace to select apprentices. Seeing that he was clever, the man saw that he was clever, so he gave him to the old eunuch directly.Later, Li Xing worshiped the old eunuch as a godfather, and he gained a foothold in the palace. Later, when the old eunuch passed away, Li Xing used his savings to bribe the eunuch in charge, and was able to win it. The seventh prince Situ Jin, who can already walk, has the opportunity to serve by his side, and now he can be called brother in other places.

Li Xing is one of the more dutiful ones. Situ Jin looks like a child. In fact, even a child in the palace is not easy to fool. Li Xing is able to squeeze out other people only by relying on his honesty. Serving by Situ Jin's side, it was rare to get Situ Jin's order at this moment, so she immediately came forward in person and went to inquire about the situation.
