In the blink of an eye, it was already June and July of the second year of Jianye. The summer grain had been harvested and the grain tax had been collected. Perhaps because it was near the capital, the grain chief and the li chief did not dare to go too far, so they allowed him to get it.
According to the news, although they collected the fire consumption, there was not much left because they had to bear the rations of the peasants transporting the grain to the granary.
June and July are the hottest times of the year. As long as you stand under the sun, even if you do nothing, you will be sweating for a while. Although Yunxi can take out ice cubes from the "natural refrigerator" to relieve the heat and cool down.
, but you can't carry ice cubes with you. This made Yunxi, who was very fond of sports, stop walking by himself and asked the eunuchs to carry the covered steps from one palace to another. Although he still insisted on practicing martial arts, the number of people who practiced martial arts was
The location has also changed.
Near Kunning Palace, there is a palace that is several feet long and wide. At this time, ice basins filled with ice cubes are placed on all sides of the palace. If the ice cubes melt, eunuchs will come over to remove them and change the basins. Not only
In this way, behind the ice basin, there are several objects that are as tall as one person and similar to electric fans. Each of them has several fan blades and a handle at the back. The two palace maids shook the handle to fan the ice cubes to the middle of the palace.
In the middle of the palace, a young man wearing loose clothes was practicing boxing. Next to him, a girl wearing similar clothes was learning the man's boxing skills.
After a while, the man stopped and said to the girl beside him: "Yunzhi, this boxing technique was passed down to me by the master who taught me kung fu when I was twelve years old. He said it is a unique skill passed down from family."
"I don't know if it's a secret skill passed down from his family. Anyway, it's very useful for moving the muscles and bones. It's better than the basic boxing skills of Shaolin and Wudang. You practice this diligently and wait until you are fifteen or sixteen before you learn the ones that can hurt people."
Boxing.”
Yunzhi also stopped her hand and muttered: "This boxing technique is not easy to practice. The Shaolin and Wudang boxing techniques I learned from the guards before are easier to learn than this one."
"That's natural," Yunxi said with a smile: "There are many places where you can practice this, so naturally it's not easy to learn."
Turning around, he saw Wen Yao and Wen Yuan standing aside. Wen Yao was still making gestures, as if he was imitating Yun He's actions just now.
Yunxi immediately said: "Wen Yao, you are still young, practice what the master gives you first, don't practice me."
When Wen Yao heard Yun Xi's words, he stopped.
Yunxi squatted down again and said to Wenyuan: "Wenyuan, do you want to practice martial arts?"
Yunzhi interrupted: "Brother Huang, Wenyuan is still young, so he probably won't understand what you say."
Just as Yunzhi said, Wenyuan really didn't know what Yunxi was talking about, so he opened his mouth and laughed, not knowing what he was laughing at.
Yunxi just gave it a try. Anyway, there was nothing to lose if he didn't understand. He picked him up and said, "Father is also hungry. Come on, let's go have a meal." He then said to Wen Yao, "You are here too.
Let’s have a meal at Kunning Palace.”
Yunzhi looked at the engraved cups placed aside and said with a smile: "Is it already this time? Brother Huang, I'm hungry too."
Yunxi looked at her angrily: "If you want to get some free money, just say so. Why are you so hesitant?"
Yunzhi stuck out her tongue and said nothing.
"This month started from the first day of the lunar month until today is seventeen. You have already had fifteen dinners at Kunning Palace. You are sincerely trying to save money for your dowry. Why are you in such a hurry when you are only eleven years old?" Yun said.
Xi laughed again.
Yunzhi pretended to be angry and said: "Brother, you are laughing at me again. The three sisters in the palace will make fun of me."
The two brothers and sisters were laughing and joking, heading to Kunning Palace on the side.
At this time, Yunxi suddenly saw Xiyao coming to the palace. He quickly walked a few steps and said, "Why are you here?"
Xiyao smiled and said, "The imperial doctor said it won't be a problem."
Yunzhi also saw Xiyao at this time and immediately said: "I have met my sister-in-law." Wen Yao also saluted and said: "I have met my mother."
Xiyao smiled and said, "You don't have to be polite." Then she said to Wen Yao, "Yao'er is also eating in the Queen Mother's Kunning Palace. After eating, she will go back to Chengqian Palace."
Wen Yao flinched a little, but still agreed.
A group of people got on the bus and headed to Kunning Palace.
On the way, Xiyao and Yunzhi laughed and said: "I don't know what happened to Min'er recently. She insists on learning martial arts from you. She practices martial arts in the hall every day after school, and she practices so paradoxically that it's very funny. Not only her, but also Bao Qing.
Auntie is the same, she comes here with Miner every day."
Yunzhi smiled and said, "What? Min'er and Aunt Baoqing also want to practice martial arts?"
"Who knows? Maybe it's just the heat of a cup of tea, and you won't be in the mood after two days." Xiyao laughed.
"I think so. Min'er and Aunt Baoqing are just freshmen, and they don't have any long-term intention to practice martial arts. Practicing martial arts is very hard," Yunxi said.
"That's not necessarily true. Sister Xianqin, who lives in my palace, now gets up early every day to practice martial arts with me, no matter how hot it is. Xianqin can do it, but Min'er and Aunt Baoqing may not be able to do it," Yunzhi retorted.
"How do Xianqin, Miner and Aunt Baoqing compare with her? The previous Qingzhou Rebellion..." Yunxi said.
Hearing this, Yunzhi didn't know what to say and kept silent. Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Xiyao quickly interrupted and talked about something else.
After a while, several people arrived at Kunning Palace. Min'er came out of the palace and said to Yunxi: "Father." At the same time, he stretched out his hands and looked at Yunxi expectantly.
Yunxi had no choice but to reach out and pick up Min'er, and said with a smile: "I will pester my father."
Miner smiled and said: "I am daddy's daughter, so naturally I will pester him."
At this time, the food in Kunning Palace was ready. They walked to the dining hall. Yunxi put Min'er on a chair aside and started eating.
At this time, Yun Zhi, who had forgotten the embarrassment just now, asked Min'er while eating, "Min'er, I heard from the emperor's sister-in-law that you have been practicing martial arts recently?"
"Well, Min'er is practicing martial arts." Min'er replied.
"Why did you suddenly think of practicing martial arts?"
"Oh, I was playing with my fifth uncle (Yun Xi) before. The fifth uncle suddenly talked about you, Fourth Aunt. He said that during the Li and Tang Dynasties, there was a Princess Pingyang who led the troops to fight. He said that Fourth Aunt, you also like martial arts so much, maybe in the future.
To be able to become someone like Princess Pingyang."
"I asked my fifth uncle who Princess Pingyang was, and he told me a brief story about Princess Pingyang. Then I thought, Princess Pingyang is so majestic, and I also want to be Princess Pingyang, so I also want to practice martial arts."
The older people sitting there were all amused by her. Yunxi smiled and said, "Oh, Min'er also wants to be Princess Pingyang?"
"Yes." Min'er's little face showed a determined look.
But several people laughed even harder, and Xiyao also laughed and said: "Min'er, let's eat first, and then we can talk about growing up as Princess Pingyang. If you don't eat well, how will you grow up?"
After hearing what her mother said, Min'er also felt that eating was more important, so she lowered her head and went to eat seriously.
Yunxi was still smiling and was about to say something else. Suddenly the door curtain was opened. Wang Xi walked up to Yunxi and said, "Your Majesty, the former Princess Yan has given birth. She is the general of the country."
"Oh, Gao Chi's child was born? According to the rules, he was named a general of the country." Yunxi paused and asked, "Have they given a name?"
"Your Majesty, I have already given him a name, Zhu Zhancheng," Wang Xi said.
"Zhu Zhanquan?" Yunxi was trying to recall the name of Zhu Gaochi's second son in history. But after thinking for a long time, he couldn't remember his name. Zhu Gaochi's second son had no important deeds and was not famous. He was not a professional student of history. Can't remember.
So Yunxi didn't remember his name. But it didn't matter. Yunxi ordered: "Send someone to send something. After all, it's the clan. Just follow the previous rules for the birth of Shang Lie's son."
Wang Xi retreated.
In the afternoon, of course, Yunxi had to go to the Qianqing Palace to handle the memorials. Although even the officials were lazy on a hot day, and there were fewer memorials than in spring and autumn, you still had to do what you should do, and you couldn't be lazy.
In the evening Yunxi came to Miaojin's Yanxi Palace to rest. As soon as Miaojin saw Yunxi, he said: "Husband, Gao Chi's second son was born. I also collected a gift and sent it to him. Husband will not blame me. Right?" She was a little happy and a little worried at the same time. According to the palace rules, the concubine could not send things to any family other than her natal family without authorization.
"It's nothing. Isn't the fourth aunt also your eldest sister? Of course my husband won't blame her. It's just," Yunxi said with a smile, "it's not appropriate for you to call Gao Chi's name directly."
"Oops!" Miao Jin stuck out his tongue and said, "Gao Chi, no, Prince Wanping was my nephew before. I am used to calling him by his first name, and I won't be able to change it for a while."
Yunxi smiled and said: "Yes, Gao Chi was your nephew before, but now he is your uncle."
The two joked for a while, and Miao Jin said: "Before, the fourth sister stayed in the capital to take care of Prince Wanping and arrange the marriage of Prince Liangxiang (Zhu Gaosui). Now..."
When she said this, Yunxi suddenly interrupted: "You should call them by their first names. It always feels weird to call the titled husband."
Miao Jin rolled her eyes at him and said, "I'll just call you by your first name. Now that Gao Chi's child has been born, it's time to organize Gao Sui's wedding. Husband, I want to go out of the palace to attend the wedding."
"Husband, Gao Sui is both my nephew and brother-in-law. No matter which way you look at it, you should go and see it. Moreover, after presiding over their wedding, the fourth sister should take Gao Sui to the Su Fan Kingdom. Can we still do it in the future? It’s hard to say whether I’ll see Fourth Sister again. I want to see Fourth Sister.”
Yunxi turned his head to look at Miao Jin's face. Seeing the look of expectation on her face, he couldn't bear to refute it. After thinking about it, he felt that it shouldn't be a big deal and said, "In this case, my husband agrees to your proposal." Leave the palace in one day."
"I thank you husband. You are the best." Miao Jin said happily.
When Yunxi saw Miaojin, who had a smile as bright as a flower, he suddenly became agitated and teased, "How do you thank your husband?"
They have been married for more than half a year, and Miaojin knew what Yunxi was thinking as soon as he said these words. But this was exactly what she expected - she had not had a child for more than half a year after entering the palace, and she was a little anxious.
Miaojin then said in a gentle voice: "Thank you as much as your husband says."
"Is that so? You're welcome, husband." With that said, Yunxi picked up Miaojin and walked into the bedroom.
