Wen Xiaotu once thought about how many years she could be a beloved concubine?
One year, two years? Or three years and five years?
Jinshu and Jingjun were just toddlers and babbling, and now they are about to enroll.
Children grow up so fast. If you don't pay attention, they will grow taller. The twins are already six years old - although they are false years old, they are already in the late kindergarten and almost entering elementary school.
It is already the spring of Tianze's seventeenth year. Not to mention that Tianze has not drafted in thirteen years, and three years later, Tianze still has not drafted in sixteenth year!
There are still the same people in the harem, unchanged, and even the favor remains unchanged.
It has been seven years since Wen Xiaotu entered the palace. People say she has the seven-year itch, but her relationship with the emperor still seems to be very close.
Such long years are enough to smooth out the unwillingness in people's hearts. Jiang Meiren, Lin Cairen, and Cui Baolin all chose to accept their fate, but they still maintained their past favors, and with the kindness of the concubine, their days in the harem
It's quite generous.
In recent years, Concubine De has become increasingly unpopular with the emperor. After several encounters with her, she no longer dares to speak ill of the concubine. As Princess Jinyan has grown into a young girl, Concubine De is now busy with her work.
He was secretly investigating the noble sons of Beijing.
Although Concubine De is probably not qualified to interfere in the princess's marriage, it does not prevent Concubine De as the mother-in-law from secretly choosing her son-in-law.
The emperor knew about this matter, but Concubine De did not bring it to light, so he did not bother to take care of it.
From the emperor's point of view, Jin Yan was still young, so why should he choose a son-in-law?
Wen Xiaotu also feels the same way. How old is the princess? Why are you so anxious to choose? In this dynasty, you have to be fifteen years old and have haircuts. If you are a princess, you don't need to get married early. Marry again at the age of seventeen or eighteen.
It's not too late.
Is the emperor's daughter still worried about getting married?
Although Concubine De is very annoying, the eldest princess has won the love of almost everyone in the Sixth Palace. Princess Jinyan is lively, cute, gentle and polite. Even when facing concubines who are not favored, she will politely call her "Ms."
Regardless of status, everyone will take the initiative to say hello.
Wen Xiaotu also liked her very much. Although Princess Jinyan did not often come to Changyi Palace, because she was raised under the Queen Mother's knees, Wen Xiaotu, as a noble concubine, had to pay her respects from time to time.
Jinyan's favorite is Wen Xiaotu's daughter Goose Congee. Congee has been sculpted since she was a child, and her eyebrows are more like Wen Xiaotu's current appearance, with thin willow eyebrows and big eyes, as white as milk.
The skin is really cute.
Presumably, Fanfan's appearance was much lower when she was a baby. Fortunately, as she grew up, her forehead finally became less prominent, and now she is pretty and cute. This child only has eyes like her, but other than that
, eyebrows, nose and mouth are more like an emperor. At a young age, he already has some heroic spirit.
The two children were about the same weight when they were born, but when they were about three years old, Fanfan's height and weight gradually surpassed that of his sister - by the way, don't girls develop earlier than boys?
Anyway, Chow Chow is now about half an inch shorter than his younger brother Fanfan. Even though it is only half an inch, it is still obvious when standing next to him!
In this regard, Wen Xiaotu could only encourage Female Goose: "Come on, eat more, and exercise more!" - If you can't be taller than your brother when you are a child, it will be even worse when you grow up.
Jin Shu clenched his pink fist and nodded heavily.
Jing Jun on the side almost rolled his eyes: My mother and sister are so childish...
Wen Xiaotu held a cub in one hand and said, "Let's go have a meal." Then, he walked into the West Flower Hall.
When the prince and princess enter the school at the age of six, they have to move into the palace according to the rules. The princesses live in the seventh hall of the West Palace, and the princes except the prince live in the sixth hall of the East Palace. The West Palace is located behind the Queen Mother's Yi Nian Palace. It is very convenient to greet the grandmother.
Cheaper, Dongsuo Hall is located on the side of the East Palace, relatively close to the East Sixth Palace.
In fact, it is okay for the princesses to stay in their mother's palace for a few more years, but the prince cannot be so willful. Wen Xiaotu considered fairness, so he reluctantly let Qi Zhou move to Xiaohe Hall, the second palace of Xisuo.
As for the first palace in Xisuo, it naturally belongs to the eldest princess Jinyan. Although the eldest princess was raised under the Queen Mother's knees, the first palace in Xisuo, Xiaoshun Hall, where she once lived, is still preserved.
As for food, there is no doubt that I stayed in the Zhongxiao Hall of Dongsuotou Hall.
The princess' palace begins with the word "filial piety", and "filial piety" comes first. There is not much to say.
The prince's palace begins with the word "loyalty", which is obviously a warning to the princes not to forget their duties as ministers.
In fact, Wen Xiaotu really hopes that Fanfan can become the prince. In recent years, the harem has not added any more children, which means that Fanfan's advantage is getting bigger and bigger. In this case, it is because Wen Xiaotu has no thoughts about the East Palace.
Fake!
But no matter how much she thought about it, she didn't dare to whisper it in Fanfan's ears, let alone mention it to the emperor.
Even if she was favored again, the reserve position meant that she would have the power of the country, so she would not dare to get involved in politics.
Fortunately, Fanfan has lived up to the innate conditions of being born with a big brain. This child has been smart since he was a child. He can recite more than a hundred ancient poems at the age of three. He has already known the Three Hundred Thousand by heart before entering school. Now he is reading Wang Fengyuan's
"Seventeen Histories of Mengqiu", Zhu Xi's "Primary School" and "Xunmeng Poems", and Sima Guang's "Family Model".
Oh, by the way, there are also introductions to arithmetic and martial arts.
This is called the ancient version of Chicken Baby!
Congee's course was relatively easy, with three hundred thousand, plus female celebrities. In fact, there was originally a class on women's virtues, but Wen Xiaotu canceled it because of the pillow talk, and announced that the princess's women's virtues would be taught by the imperial concubine herself.
No one dared to object.
Wen Xiaotu doesn't object to girls learning some needlework. Anyway, Zouzhou likes it quite a lot and just thinks of it as a handicraft class. Zouzhou doesn't have physical education classes, so he doesn't worry about not getting enough exercise. Zouzhou likes to play shuttlecock and often plays with her.
Go to the gym, and when you get older, you can consider learning horse riding and shooting from Xin Ruozhi.
The two children had a good appetite after they were young, and the rice was very fragrant. The old mother Wen Xiaotu saw it and was very pleased.
After the meal, Wen Xiaotu asked the children one by one what they had read today and whether they had learned it.
The course of Congee Congee is simple and there are no assessment requirements, so it is naturally a trivial matter.
Jing Jun puffed up his chest and said, "It's all very simple, I've learned it all!"
Wen Xiaotu: Real or fake?!
"If mother doesn't believe it, I can recite it to you." Jing Jun stood with his hands behind his back, as if he was ready to start reciting at any time.
Wen Xiaotu took a look at the sky and said hurriedly: "I believe you, don't you?" He touched Goose's head and said, "Okay, it's getting late, so go back to bed early and don't stay up late. Oh, by the way,
Don’t you have any homework after school, sir?”
Jin Shu smiled and shook his head, saying no.
Jing Jun said: "Mr. Zhang asked me to write three large characters."
Wen Xiaotu frowned, a child who is just over five years old actually has homework?!
Jing Jun said: "I can finish it quickly and won't delay my sleep."
Wen Xiaotu sighed. She also knew that the prince must have a harder time studying than the princess. She touched Goose's head lovingly and said, "After I finish writing, I will lie down and go to sleep immediately. I have to get up early tomorrow."
Although it was only the evening, Wen Xiaotu did not dare to keep the child for too long. Porridge was okay, and he could just get up at 10:00 the next day, because the princess's teachers always hired women from scholarly families to enter the palace as female teachers. The female master lives directly in the palace, and the school where the princesses study is next to Nishoden.
As for the princes who want to study in the upper study room south of Qian'an Palace, the distance is much further, and it takes two-quarters of an hour to sit on the couch!
