Contrary to the East Palace, Prince An's Palace reached the sky in one step.
Although the emperor did not make him the prince, his attitude was different.
After dealing with the prince and King Xin, the emperor was depressed for several days, and finally cheered up and summoned King An.
Prince An's Mansion and Prince Yue's Mansion were next to each other, and the back garden was separated by a wall. Prince An would climb over the wall from time to time to chat with Yang Shu.
King An was playing Shuanglu with Yang Shu in the back garden. He was pulling his sleeves and yelling at him to get married, when the servant over there came to deliver a message.
King An was so frightened that his knees weakened and he almost fell into the pool.
Yang Shu had quick eyesight and quick hands to pull him back.
"Since His Majesty has summoned you, go ahead! That's your biological father, and it's not like you've never seen him before."
King An was angry: "My father never looks good when he sees me. And these days, they say..."
"You said you were going to be the prince, right?"
"Hey, you can't say this casually!" King An hurriedly covered his mouth.
Yang Shu sneered and said: "Look at your potential! Doesn't the Holy One know about your virtues? He is your biological father! Go quickly, don't let the Holy One wait."
When King An was laughed at by him, he calmed down and quickly crawled back to the next door, washed his hands and changed his clothes.
The emperor summoned him in Taiyuan Palace.
The prince and King Xin were so angry that they had a headache. Taiyuan Palace happened to be clean, so they rested here for a few days.
When King An came, the emperor was dressed in regular clothes, leaning on a lounge chair in the shade of a tree and listening to Concubine Pei reading.
Seeing him coming, Concubine Pei put down her books, asked people to come up to understand the summer soup, and then left.
The emperor did not get up, but slowly shook his cattail leaf fan and spoke to him: "I remember that you hit your husband on the first day of school, right?"
King An lowered his head. Although he was very thirsty, he did not dare to bring the tea. He licked his lips and replied honestly: "Go back to my father, I didn't hit you, but put the grasshopper on your collar. Sir, sir."
He was so angry that he wanted to hit Erchen with the ruler, but Erchen refused, so he pushed..."
The emperor said coldly: "But sir, you are old and you pushed me so hard that you fell and couldn't get out of bed for half a month."
King An could only laugh dryly.
The emperor sighed, sat up and looked at his son.
He is just twenty years old, and his face is still a bit raw, but he has good features and is quite handsome if you look closely. Looking further down, you can see that he is not short, but he moves less and eats a lot, and his figure is slightly fatter...
The emperor thought of Yang Shu's body as tall and straight as a green pine, and couldn't help but feel a little lacking.
But then I thought about it, compared with those dandies, my son seemed not to be much different.
"What books have you read recently?"
King An was speechless and was stopped by the question.
The emperor frowned: "Why don't you answer?"
King An replied with a grimace: "Back to my father, I, my son, I haven't studied recently..."
"Then what did you do?"
King An gritted his teeth and said: "Tossing pots, fishing, listening to music...Oh, I have found a master and am now learning boxing."
When he said something, the emperor's brows tightened, and he relaxed slightly until he said punching.
"Why do you suddenly want to learn boxing?"
An Wang lowered his head and looked at his belly, and smiled dryly: "Er Chen feels that he is a little fat, so he wants to learn boxing and become stronger."
The emperor softened his expression: "It's good that you know." Continuing the previous topic, "Then where did you study when you were in school?"
King An racked his brains to recall and said, "I have finished studying the Thirteen Classics."
The emperor nodded.
It's a little better than he imagined, and he can't talk about it in terms of talent, but he still has the basics and can slowly make up for it.
"I have found a husband for you. From tomorrow on, you will go to Wenhua Pavilion to have classes with the fourth and fifth children every day."
"ah?"
The emperor lowered his face and said, "Ah what? Not satisfied?"
King An hesitated: "No, father, the fourth and fifth brothers are only seven or eight years old. It would be too embarrassing for me to go to class with them..."
The emperor sneered: "It's even more embarrassing for you to be ignorant and skillless! You have just finished studying the Thirteen Classics, and you haven't even started reading the History section, right? Four and five will study for two more years and they will catch up with you. Hurry up and learn next time.
I will test you myself!"
"Ah, oh!"
"What are you doing standing still? Go back and tell your wife to pack up your books and pens and come over to class tomorrow morning!"
"Oh, yes." King An quickly saluted, "My son, please leave."
After taking two steps, the emperor stopped him again: "Wait a minute."
King An thought that he would be reprimanded again, so he quickly turned around and bowed: "Father."
The emperor's eyes swept over his withered lips and pointed to the bowl of heat-relieving soup: "Drink before you leave."
"yes."
...
King An returned to the palace and told Princess An what had happened. Princess An happily went to prepare things.
King An felt excited and walked towards the back garden.
"Big nephew, big nephew!" he shouted across the courtyard wall.
Yang Shu, who was sleeping while fishing over there, responded vaguely: "What are you doing?"
"I listened to you and found that my father doesn't seem that scary after all."
"Nonsense!" Yang Shu twisted his neck, which was crooked in sleep, "That's your biological father, what are you afraid of?"
King An said happily: "I used to think that my father was too scary, but he is actually very easy to talk to. I said that I had only read the Thirteen Classics, and he was not angry. But I have to go to school again tomorrow.
Alas, I am already this age and it is really embarrassing to go to school with my fourth and fifth brothers!"
"What's there to be ashamed of? You two are at different paces, so you must study separately. Then you will have your own study room, and the most knowledgeable celebrities will come to teach you. Wouldn't it be great? Learning is not an easy task, you see.
In the Imperial College, there are many students in their thirties and forties. Even the prince...oh, the eldest prince also studies while discussing politics, and did not graduate until he was in his twenties."
"That's what you said." King An put away his worries, thinking that he would have to get up at five o'clock tomorrow, and he was crying again. "He also said that he would go to pick fruits outside the city tomorrow, but it seems that he can't go. And he would have to get up before dawn,
It’s so hard!”
Yang Shu held the fishing rod in his hand and chuckled: "Although it's hard work, it feels good to be taken seriously by others, right? You lose something, but you gain something. You are no longer a dispensable member, but become important in the eyes of others."
Character, no one will listen to what you say anymore, and I will ask your opinion on everything. What you have got now is what many people dream of!"
Wang An tasted his words and became happy: "What you said is right."
"Hurry up and read the book. The teacher will definitely test you tomorrow. Don't be too embarrassed."
"Oh, you're right, sir, I'm sure he won't let me get away with it this time. I'll go find a book first, see you later!"
King An ran away in a hurry.
Yang Shu sat there, watching the fish bite the hook and pulling the fishing line up and down, but did not lift the pole.
for a long time--
"It would be great if you were a good emperor, but it's a pity that you have such a history. Although you may change for the better, this is related to the Jiang Dynasty, the fate of Daqi, and even the lives of millions of people. I don't dare to bet on it.
