Latest website: At the end of the class, Mr. Zhuang said with a smile: "Although you are filial to the common people, you may not lack food and clothing to support your parents, but filial piety is the same. If you can support your parents, even if the gold and silver you spend is not yours, I think
, they will also be very happy.”
"So, next time you take a break, give your parents or grandparents something as a gift when you go back, maybe a set of clothes, or a bowl of food."
Seeing that everyone responded respectfully, Mr. Zhuang smiled slightly and said, "I will ask."
Everyone:......
It was the first time that the students were a little distressed when their husband forced them to give gifts to their parents.
The prince couldn't feel their distress because he didn't think the matter had anything to do with him. However, he was late in dealing with government affairs in the Tai Chi Hall in the afternoon and had to stay to have dinner with his parents. The prince was enjoying eating meat and raised his head.
Seeing that the mother on the side seemed to have a bad appetite, he took a chopstick of vegetables from the plate in front of him and gave it to her, "Mother, is it a bitter summer?"
The queen was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Yes, it's getting hotter and muggier today, so I've had a bad appetite these past two days."
The emperor couldn't help but look at her with concern, knowing that she didn't like to ask the imperial doctor, so after thinking about it, he said to the prince: "Let Zhou Man come to Tai Chi Hall for a walk and see if there is any way to relieve the heat."
The emperor said: "It's only May, and you've already had a bitter summer. What will you do next month?"
The queen did not refute this time. When she saw that he only ate meat and no vegetables, she smiled and said, "Don't blame me, Your Majesty. You have been sweating a lot in the past two days. The imperial doctor has told you to eat less meat."
Eat more vegetables, fruits and vegetables.”
The emperor bowed his head and ate without saying a word.
The queen turned to look at the prince and winked at him.
The prince was stunned for a moment, and glanced at the vegetables that were very close to him. Then he saw that the vegetables in front of his father were full of meat. After thinking about it, he also gave him a chopstick of vegetables, "Father, eat more vegetables."
After finishing it, he felt that it was not enough, so he motioned to Eunuch Wu to bring all the vegetables in front of him to the emperor.
Eunuch Wu was trembling and hesitantly moved forward.
The emperor looked at the pile of green vegetables in the bowl and couldn't help blowing his beard. However, he looked up at the queen, then at the prince, then silently raised his chopsticks and ate.
Forget it, it was the prince who got it anyway.
Speaking of which, among the children, only the third child and Mingda could put food in his mouth. This was the first time that the prince had given him food.
It's a pity that this dish is not my favorite.
Even though joy is discounted by half, it’s still joy after all, isn’t it?
When Eunuch Wu saw that the emperor was actually eating vegetables, he immediately moved forward to pick up the plate of vegetables and put it in front of the emperor.
The emperor glanced at his son who was chewing on a chicken leg, then ordered a plate of green vegetables from a distance and said, "Bring it to the prince. It's hot. Eat more vegetables and less meat."
The queen sat aside and smiled, watching the father and son hurt each other, and her appetite improved.
The two sons' appetites are like their father's. They only like to eat meat and drink wine, but don't like vegetables. The same goes for Mingda, who is always greedy for meat even though he is too weak to eat more meat.
The prince had eaten and drank enough, and worked overtime with the emperor. It was completely dark, and all the palace gates were locked. Only then did he finish approving the coupons assigned to him, and after handing them to his father, he patted his butt and left.
.
Thinking of what Zhuang Xun said today, children work on behalf of their parents, and a concubine still has to share the benefits of the land and use it with due care and respect for his parents. He does not have to work as hard as a concubine, but it is still okay to give him a warning.
There is no need to do it for him. Putting aside the question of whether he is willing or not, if he really offered to do it for him, his father might have thought that he wanted to seize the throne and become the emperor.
So the prince tried to be as sincere as possible and said some nonsense, "My son, please leave now. Father, please rest early. Don't stay up late and hurt yourself."
The emperor nodded and let him go. Adhering to the rules of courtesy, he also told Eunuch Wu: "Light two more lanterns and be careful where you step."
Eunuch Wu respectfully agreed, and the palace people brightened their lanterns to light the way for the prince.
After the prince left, the emperor turned to ask Gu Zhong, "The prince didn't lose his temper with the courtiers today?"
Gu Zhong thought for a while and then bent down and said: "His Highness is in a good mood today and has not lost his temper."
The emperor was quite baffled, "You actually care about me, what's going on?"
Gu Zhong felt that the emperor suspected that the prince was paying New Year greetings to the rooster, so he immediately said: "I heard that the prince went to Chongwen Hall this morning to read the "Book of Filial Piety"."
The emperor was surprised, "Did Kong sacrifice wine? What's so strange about him reading the "Book of Filial Piety"? I remember that he often taught the "Book of Filial Piety" to the prince in the early years, and I didn't see the prince listening to it much, but he followed it a lot
I don’t want to show any signs of it.”
Gu Zhong smiled and said: "It was told by a minister named Zhuang Xun. His Majesty just recently made him a ninth-rank minister and allowed him to give lectures in the East Palace."
When the emperor heard this, he reacted, "Teacher of Zhou Man and Bai Shan?"
"yes."
The emperor put down his pen, stroked his beard and thought, "Not to mention Zhou Man and Bai Shan, they are both filial people. Does their junior brother named Bai also respect his parents?"
How did Gu Zhong know?
However, he still bent down and said with a smile: "That Mr. Bai can not only enter the Imperial Academy, but also the Chongwen Hall, so he is naturally a filial person."
The emperor thought about it, and after a while he said: "Kong Lao'er is good at everything, but he can't compare with others in speaking the Book of Filial Piety, and he has a bad temper. The prince's temper is like mine. No matter how verbose he is, no wonder the prince can't listen."
Gu Zhong:……
Who scolds the prince for being a bitch every time he doesn't listen to the teacher?
Now I know that the prince has a temper similar to yours.
Gu Zhong responded with a stiff smile. He glanced around the palace and found that only his apprentice and two palace maids were there. He felt relieved.
Well, it's a good seal. What I just said shouldn't get out.
It is true that these words did not spread, but yesterday the prince not only had a friendly dinner with the emperor, but the emperor also expressed concern about the lighting problem when the prince walked at night.
Everyone in the court and palace knew about it.
Everyone knew that the relationship between the prince and the emperor had become more harmonious and harmonious. Before the prince realized it, his behavior in the court became smoother.
Even Wei Zhi, who had always been critical of him, rarely smiled at him. During the break, he even chatted with him, "The deal with Shengzhou that your Highness handled today was pretty good."
The prince nodded reservedly and couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.
Even his father rarely gets praise from Wei Zhi.
After hearing this, Mr. Old Tang laughed and said: "The weather has been hot recently and the Queen is not in good health. Why don't Your Highness suggest that the Queen should go to the Daming Palace to escape the heat?"
The Queen has gone, why don't you take the opportunity to suggest that the Emperor should go with her?
This is also filial piety.
As time passes, the relationship between father and son will naturally improve.
Mr. Tang, who has always had a good relationship between father and son, understands this deeply.
