After the next court, Zhu Cihong turned back to the harem.

At this time, the imperial eunuch came over and asked, "Emperor, which palace will you send the recital to tonight?" ”

After going on the expedition for half a year, he left a lot of official duties, and every day there was a new recital, and Zhu Cihong would spend time reading the previous recitals every day.

But the wives and concubines can't be comforted, and Emperor Zhu wants to comfort the concubines who have been separated for half a year one by one, take turns to accompany them, and live and official affairs at the same time.

Zhu Cihong hesitated for a moment and said, "Send it to Kunning Palace." ”

The eunuch answered, and immediately went down to make arrangements.

In the evening, when I came to Kunning Palace, Queen Xu was telling stories to the fourth prince Zhu Heqian in the inner room.

"Father!"

Seeing his father coming, the fourth happily rushed over and naughtily hugged Zhu Cihong's thigh.

Zhu Cihong touched his little head, squatted down and said with a smile: "What did Qian'er learn today?" ”

The fourth prince said: "The queen mother told the story of "King Kong Gourd Baby". ”

As he spoke, he hugged a stack of picture albums and pushed them in front of Zhu Cihong, turning them page by page, telling the above stories with words in his mouth, sometimes pretending to be a gourd baby to say lines, and letting the palace maid pretend to be a snake spirit......

The fourth prince has a naughty personality and is full of vitality, which makes the palace maids who take care of him tired and half dead every day, but also adds a lot of joy to the palace.

Zhu Cihong and Xu Chenyun are both high-level intellectuals, and they are particularly concerned about the education of their children.

This set of albums of "King Kong Gourd Baby" was painted by Zhu Cihong himself, with a complete plot and high-end painting work, which is the favorite story of the princes.

After Empress Xu and Zhu Cihong saw each other, they sent their four sons out.

The fourth prince ran out of the hall in response, and several palace maids followed behind in a panic, and hurriedly shouted: "Your Highness, you slow down......"

Looking at his son's distant figure, Zhu Cihong smiled and said: "Time flies so fast, Qiang'er is more than three years old. ”

Xu Chenyun nodded slightly and said, "Wait for another two years, and you will have to arrange for him to be taught by a master alone." ”

In the Ming royal family, when the prince and the princess were young, their biological mother would teach them to read and read some words, and when the prince was five or six years old, he would find them a master to formally teach them all kinds of knowledge.

During the dispute over the national capital of the Wanli Dynasty, Shen Shixing, the head of the cabinet, persuaded the Wanli Emperor to appoint the emperor's eldest son Zhu Changluo as the crown prince as soon as possible, so he took a roundabout route and said to Wanli: "Your Majesty, when you were in the East Palace, you were only six years old and already studied, and the eldest son of the emperor was already very late in studying at the moment. ”

In the Ming Dynasty, the prince's study out of the pavilion is equivalent to recognizing him as the crown prince, which means that the East Palace team will be formed.

Wanli's answer was like raising a bar and slapping his face: "I can already read at the age of five!" ”

Zhu Cihong is not like Wanli, he thinks that if a person is talented and smart, it is okay not to study.

It must be a good thing for the prince to read early, after all, there is no heavy homework in the palace, and the prince's parents do not need to accompany the children to do their homework......

Zhu Cihong said: "One-on-one teaching with a master is not good for children's growth, it is best to learn with their peers from an early age, get along and communicate with others in a group environment, so that it is more conducive to their growth." ”

Xu Chenyun thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty's idea makes the concubine feel refreshed and seems reasonable. ”

Zhu Cihong said: "The world is so big, the nobles of the past dynasties are active in a corner of the palace, how can they see the sinister outside, we must let them integrate into this society!" ”

Xu Chenyun picked up the album of the gourd baby and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you made up this story of the gourd baby, it should be to give the emperors what you call a 'social lesson', right?" ”

Zhu Cihong raised his eyebrows and asked, "Oh? What do you see? ”

Xu Chenyun pointed to the big baby in the album and said: "The ability of the big baby is infinite, the way the goblin deals with him is to use money, endlessly throwing money, since ancient times, there is no way to survive without money, and no matter how strong the ability is, it is difficult to escape the temptation of money." ”

She pointed to Erwa and said: "Erwa's ability is clairvoyance, symbolizing a person who can distinguish between right and wrong, and the goblin's method of dealing with him is to roll up a crooked wind and evil qi to make him blind, and the atmosphere is not right, and it is easy for people to be unable to distinguish right from wrong." ”

Zhu Cihong's eyes revealed a hint of appreciation, this beautiful and intelligent woman deserves to be the first talented woman in Jinling!

"Sanwa's ability is invulnerable, symbolizing a very good sense of control of the incorruptible person, this kind of person is difficult to Du Fu, the goblin's method is to give her "small shoes", honest and independent people in the world, and they can't stand being put on small shoes, and it is difficult to step by step. ”

Queen Xu continued: "The interesting thing is that the four babies have the ability to control fire, and the way the goblins deal with him is to cook a pot of rice. ”

She pointed to the accompanying words on the album and said: "The fairy reads white and says, 'You are a child, you are ignorant, you always exaggerate, you don't know that this big pot of rice is not easy to burn', in front of the big pot of rice, even if the individual who does practical things is strong, they can only end up exhausted and feel that their bodies are hollowed out." ”

"The five babies who can control water, after drinking the black and smelly water prepared by the goblins, their bodies are damaged, and in this world like a dye vat, a pool of clear water is the easiest to dye color."

Zhu Cihong came to Queen Xu's side, smiled with a smile: "My wife is smart, if it weren't for her daughter, she would be a great sage!" ”

Empress Xu chuckled, tapped on his forehead, and said angrily: "How dare the concubine be called a great sage, the parenting story written by His Majesty contains infinite wisdom, this is a great sage!" ”

Zhu Cihong smiled and waved his hand: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, I'm just picking up people's teeth......"

Xu Chenyun said; "These big truths can only be slowly understood by the emperors when they grow up, okay, the education of the next generation will be put on first, and the concubines must solve the affairs of their husbands first!"

Zhu Cihong was stunned for a moment and said, "What's the matter with me?" ”

Xu Chenyun glanced at him and said, "How did you forget, the triennial draft." ”

Zhu Cihong was surprised: "It's going to be a draft again?" Let's cancel again this time. ”

Originally, the draft was in the spring and summer, but it was postponed due to the war.

Since Zhu Cihong ascended the throne, three drafts, one was cancelled, and two were postponed, which made the people's good impression of Emperor Zhu continue to improve, praising his noble character and being a good emperor who is not greedy for power!

Empress Xu smiled: "Don't look reluctant, these show girls are all beauties like youth flowers, do you really want to miss it?" ”

Zhu Cihong gently hugged her slender waist, kissed her on the face, and said, "No matter how beautiful they are, they are not as good as the people in my heart." ”

Xu Chenyun's face flushed, spat him, and said, "Don't be ashamed, we are all old husbands and wives, and we are still so open-mouthed!" ”

Zhu Cihong smiled and said: "Didn't you say that young couples are old companions, we are slowly growing old together, it should be a happy thing in life!" ”

Saying that, Emperor Zhu hummed a small tune: "The most romantic thing I can think of is to grow old with you slowly, until we are old and can't go anywhere, I still regard you as a treasure in the palm of my hand......."

Xu Chenyun was stunned, feeling that this minor key was quite good, but the important thing was that the words were a bit sassy.

She lightly hammered Zhu Cihong and said with a smile: "The husband is talented and can compose music, but this word must not be passed on......"

Zhu Cihong said shamelessly: "What's the matter with spreading it, the people will only say that our emperor is loving, and it will be a beautiful talk!" ”

Xu Chenyun's face was unhappy, but her heart was beautiful.

Hundreds of queens in Chinese history, half of them ended in tragedy, and it is rare for an emperor to say such shameless love words like their husband and wife, and Empress Xu is very satisfied......

During Zhu Cihong's night in Kunning Palace, Xu Chenyun never mentioned the prince's grounding from beginning to end, as if she didn't know about it.......
