But these are not what people like Princess Zhan who have lived in the back house for a long time can think of.
After hearing what her daughter said, she was deeply moved.
"It wasn't until this moment that I felt relieved that you would have such a loving person for the rest of your life. Even if I died immediately, I would still feel at ease."
"What nonsense are you talking about, mother? How old are you? At least you still have decades of life. After you and your brother follow us to Jicheng, our family will live a good life. When the time comes, choose a life for your brother."
It’s a perfect marriage, but you still have to be a grandmother.”
These days were something Princess Zhan had never imagined before.
She has been able to survive until now just so that she can see her two children get married.
But now, the appearance of her daughter Yu Wenjie has given her the possibility of another way of life.
Princess Zhan is lying if she says she is not moved.
But it was not easy to agree immediately.
After all, after being weak for decades, even if he once stood up and took charge, he would still retreat a little.
Yu Wenjie knew that her mother was moved, but she needed some time to think about it again.
So she didn't continue to be aggressive.
What I think most about is to be filial to my mother in the villa, so that she can live a comfortable life and enjoy the happiness of a family.
By then, maybe she won't need any consolation, and her mother will understand.
How to spend the next days.
The carriage procession moved slowly towards Zhuangzi outside the city. To Princess Zhan, it seemed like a road to heaven with all the hardships and joys.
Since winter has entered Shengjing City, life has slowed down.
I stay up day after day and get nowhere.
Except for those people who still need to make a living, they are still shuttled through the heavy snow, working hard to spend the New Year easier and faster.
The princes and nobles basically stayed at home and refused to go out.
The same is true in the imperial city.
It's just that Cining Palace is very lively today.
On this day, after the second prince finished school, he went to the Queen Mother's Palace to listen to the training.
He actually loved going there.
In the past, I only thought that the Queen Mother was far away and unattainable, but now I feel that she has the kindness of an ordinary grandmother and the foresight to plan ahead.
Sometimes the doubts that he had been pondering over and couldn't figure out were cleared up by the Queen Mother's gentle words.
This feeling of sudden enlightenment really made him comfortable, so he was happy every time he went back.
Not only did he listen to the instructions, but he also accompanied the Queen Mother most of the time, showing his utmost filial piety.
In the inner hall, the Queen Mother held a scripture in her hand and was reading it. She relied on these things to pass the time during the long winter.
Therefore, I read page after page very carefully.
When Aunt Wen opened the curtain and entered, she brought a bit of chill with her.
"What's up?"
Before Aunt Wen could speak, the Queen Mother asked in a rich voice.
Aunt Wen said with a smile on her face.
"Go back to the Queen Mother, the second prince is here."
"Oh? Didn't you tell them that they don't have to come here for the past few months? It's snowy, windy and slippery, and I might have cracked my hands and feet from the cold."
As she was talking, she immediately pointed to the charcoal brazier and said.
"The Second Prince doesn't like to use charcoal. Let's withdraw it and let them burn a few more Tangbaozi to warm his hands and feet."
"Yes, I understand."
Grandfather and grandson have also been getting along for a few months, so they understand each other's habits somewhat.
Therefore, after the second prince entered the door, except for the faint scent of sandalwood, he did not smell the slightest bit of silver carbon.
Soaking the handkerchief in hot water, the second prince wiped his face and hands himself.
It was indeed very cold along the way.
But he was extremely excited. Just because he learned a new article in school today, he came to Cining Palace to ask the Queen Mother for advice.
After washing up, Grandma Wen had already folded the Tang Pozi in her hands and placed it on his usual seat.
Warmed him up early.
"My grandson has met the Imperial Grandmother. Please be kind to the Imperial Grandmother."
"Well, get up."
The Queen Mother has never had any airs about these juniors.
Especially the second prince who came here despite heavy snowfall, she liked him more and more.
Therefore, the tone of speaking is somewhat relaxed.
"What are you doing here in this snowy day? Didn't I tell you and the Third Prince a long time ago? Just wait until spring comes."
"What the Tutor taught today was "Bai Gui Addresses the Lord of the New City". My grandson found it very interesting, so he came to invite Grandma Pope."
The Queen Mother heard this and said with a smile.
"However: Night walkers can do nothing but commit treachery, and dogs cannot be restrained from barking. Therefore, ministers can restrain the king from criticizing him, but he cannot restrain others from criticizing ministers."
"Yes, the imperial grandmother is really knowledgeable and knowledgeable."
Then the second prince analyzed it word for word.
"Tai Tuo said, this means that people who walk at night can refrain from doing evil things, but they can't stop dogs from barking at them. So I can prevent others from talking about you when I'm with the king, but I can't stop others from talking about you. I just want us all to be magnanimous gentlemen."
What he said was serious, which made the Queen Mother look a little amused.
Even though the second prince entered school late, he always had his own way of learning principles.
It’s not about memorizing things by rote, but about understanding them thoroughly, and you can even draw inferences later.
Therefore, I have to praise Lin Wanyi for his skillful teaching.
It's not about forcing knowledge into his mind, but teaching him how to look at problems correctly and understand them deeply.
The Queen Mother liked this very much.
"Well, what the Master said is right. But do you know what this person became in the end?"
The second prince shook his head, he really knew nothing about this.
"Became the ancestor of Shang."
"Shang Zu? What does this mean?"
The second prince asked a question, and the queen mother took the trouble to explain it to him.
"Abandoning politics to engage in business, he became a famous businessman in Luoyang at that time."
Hearing this, the second prince's eyes widened.
The Taifu only said that this person was a talented person in the prime minister's office, but never said the latter.
Probably because I feel that this part of my experience is not "glorious".
So he asked with a curious attitude.
"Why is this?"
"A person's life is not only about making achievements in the court, but it is interesting when a hundred flowers bloom. Being useless in the government does not mean that it is useless in other places. On the contrary, you should use your strengths to do other things in other places. It’s good for a place to shine and heat up, isn’t it?”
After saying this, the Queen Mother asked Aunt Wen to bring over pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
Then he wrote four words on it: wisdom, courage, benevolence, and strength.
The second prince was puzzled, so the Queen Mother explained it word for word.
"Don't underestimate the way of doing business. Dynasties from ancient times to the present have focused on agriculture and suppressed business. There are a lot of intentions to fool the people. Compared with smart and flexible businessmen, they feel that honest farmers are easier to rule. That’s all, that’s why I keep demoting merchants to the point where they can’t be demoted any more, just for the sake of perpetuating my dynasty.”
