"Your Majesty, Princess Ji'an would like to see you."
The purpose of Yao Manzhi's visit is undoubtedly to select a companion for the fourth prince. Historically, princes have always chosen their companions from the royal family and their mother's family, and Yao Manzhi's son Yan Chengtang is undoubtedly a close member of the royal family - but the only problem is
Yan Chengtang is one year younger than the fourth prince!
Choosing a reading companion is not just about choosing a companion, it must be smart and able to take care of the prince. For a four-year-old child, who takes care of whom? So, Yao Manzhi came through the back door.
"Ah? You want Ah Tang to be a reading companion for Ah Di?" Yue Wangshu said he didn't understand. Reading companionship is not an easy task. You have to get up at dawn and read the Four Books and Five Classics, play chess, calligraphy and painting, horseback riding and archery. It can be called ancient times.
Chicken version!
"You don't know how hard it is to read with me," Yue Wangshu advised tactfully.
Yao Manzhi sighed: "Of course I know, but I have to think about Ah Tang in this life. Reading with me is just a hard work for a while, and it will take more than ten years to get over it." - The most important thing is to hug your thighs early, and someone will protect you in the future.
.Don't be like the old money, who has to work hard to build the emperor's tomb despite having a bad reputation.
Ten years... How many more ten years can a person have in his life? Yue Wangshu knew that Yao Manzhi wanted to take sides. If it happened in the future, the next generation of the Prince of Cu'an County would be safe.
But Ah Tang was only four years old, so Yue Wangshu couldn't bear to let a four-year-old child serve as his son's companion.
Now, the selection of companion reading has reached the final stage. Children younger than little Adi were originally no longer included in the selection... Yue Wangshu could indeed decline for this reason.
But how could she not understand the hard work of a mother?
"I can tell the emperor, I don't dare to guarantee whether it will happen or not." The words came to his lips, but he still couldn't refuse.
Yao Manzhi smiled and said: "As long as you are willing to speak, how can the emperor not agree?"
The prince usually has four companions, and the Yue family has already sent two candidates, her eldest brother's younger son, and her younger brother's eldest son. When the time comes, he will choose one of them. As for the royal side, who does the emperor prefer?
Wang Shu still doesn’t know.
"Sun Liangshu, the eldest son of King Ping, I have agreed to this in advance. The rest... still need to be considered." Yan Zheng came to Yuanzhi Hall in the evening, widened his robe, looked at Yue Wangshu, and
Suddenly something occurred to me.
"I heard that the Yao family has entered the palace again?" Yan Zheng immediately guessed something.
Yue Wangshu brought him a cup of tea and said, "She's here to ask for a reading companion for Ah Tang."
Yan Zheng frowned, "That boy from Laojiu's family isn't old enough, is he?"
Yue Wangshu nodded: "He is one year younger than Adi, but he is still quite smart."
Yan Zheng couldn't help but think, Wang Shu actually helped to say good things, obviously he wanted to choose that boy...
Seeing the drama, Yue Wangshu said: "I also know that Ah Tang is a little young, so I thought about choosing three first, and then let Ah Tang enter the palace as a companion next year."
Yan Zheng waved his hand, "I'm afraid I won't be able to keep up with the class by then! That's fine, he's just a companion. It doesn't matter if Wang Shu chooses him."
Yue Wangshu: I feel sorry for this four-year-old milk baby.
Within a few days, the places for reading companions were officially announced. They were Yan Liangshu, the eldest grandson of King Ping, Yan Chengtang, the eldest son of King Qi'an County, and Yue Changying of the Yue family. As for the last place, it was given to the eldest grandson of the Meng family, Xian.
Empress Ning is Meng's nephew. Yes, the empress's natal family is her aunt's family...
As for the third prince, the status of the members of the companions was not that good. The clan chose a son of a county prince and a young and intelligent ordinary clan member. In addition, they selected two from the natal family of the Langui concubine and the Shen family.
Cousin.
On the eighth day of February, little Adi officially moved out of the side hall of Yunzhi Palace and went to live in the Prince's Palace.
On the tenth day of February, little Adi officially took his four little companions to study together at Qinxue Hall. His emperor father had chosen a teacher early in the morning. Little Adi’s team of teachers was extremely large, and there was an enlightened one.
Teacher, plus Yang Wen, the great scholar of Wuyingdian Palace, Song Jixian, the minister of rites, Chen Xueru, the Imperial Confucian priest, and many other eminent scholars in the court - of course, these officials with official positions only work part-time as the prince's teacher, and naturally they still have to do their job as a teacher.
First, at most smoke
It’s time to give lectures.
With many-to-one precise teaching, it is impossible to be lazy.
Fortunately, the martial arts class was relatively simple, just learning the foot bow, so before it got dark, little Adi led his four companions to Yuanzhi Palace to say hello.
Yue Wangshu ascended the throne in the main hall, and received the kowtow ceremony from these little carrot heads before he was called Pingsheng. Among the four companions, three were older than little Adi, and the eldest among them was Sun Liang, the eldest son of Prince Ping.
Shu is a thin and tall boy, two years older than little Adi, followed by her eldest brother Yue Fuguang’s youngest son Yue Changying, who is also seven years old, wearing a bright red robe, very energetic, and once again
This is the child of the Meng family, called Yuan Xi. He is gentle and quiet, and is only one year older than little Adi.
The most conspicuous thing is the little guy A Tang, who is one head shorter than others. He looks like a child to others, but he is clearly still a toddler!
However, this kid has been in the palace many times, so he doesn't show any timidity. After reading all day long, he is still in great spirits.
Yue Wangshu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then asked with a smile: "Are you still used to it after entering the palace?"
Yan Liangshu, the eldest, hurriedly stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your concern, the imperial concubine. Everything in the palace is fine, so there is nothing I'm not used to."
Look, he looks like an adult.
Several other children then agreed one after another, and their answers were similar.
Only Ah Tang was young and didn't know what politeness meant, so he said abruptly: "Sir, you are strict, you didn't have enough lunch!"
Yue Wangshu was silent for three seconds before asking: "Is it because your husband is too strict that you don't have enough lunch?" Is there a logical relationship between the two?
Ah Tang said: "There is not enough time!"
Little Ah Di couldn't help but cover her face and said, "Mom, it's Ah Tang who eats too slowly! When the time came and he wasn't full, the people behind him were taken away."
Yue Wangshu:......
How mature can a four-year-old be expected to be?
He could only smile and say, "Then you should eat faster tomorrow."
Ah Tang nodded his little head and said, "I know!"
Quite well-behaved.
Okay, the fellow sent her son to the palace, so she could only take more care of him. Then she asked someone to bring snacks and milk tea to entertain all the young ladies.
Everyone took their seats in an orderly manner and ate snacks slowly, except Ah Di and Ah Tang who ate without restraint, as if they had returned to their hometown.
Needless to say, Ah Di is used to it.
This Ah Tang is really familiar with him, probably because he is young and doesn't know what politeness means.
But it's still cute.
Before leaving, he packed a box of cakes for each of his brothers. Yue Wangshu had a basic understanding of these children. Yan Liangshu was the most mature and steady, and her eldest nephew and the eldest nephew of the Meng family were both
He was a quiet and well-behaved child, but Yan Chengtang was still childish, so Yue Wangshu had no choice but to arrange a few more capable people to take care of him in the prince's palace.
