Yang Sheng watched his thirteenth son leave after the gift. The smile on his face did not fade away, but instead he smiled even more happily.
"Wu Kui, what do you think of this kid, Xiao Shisan?"
"He is smart, well-founded in his advance and retreat, and has a lively mind without losing his duty. The previous evaluations of His Highness the Thirteenth Highness in the palace do not seem to be appropriate." Wu Kui couldn't say anything to disappoint him. And Yang Rui really felt that way to him.
What he said was somewhat unexpected.
Yang Sheng was very satisfied with Wu Kui's answer, and even thought it was not enough, saying: "Now it seems that all the things in the past were just pretended by this child. Alas, life in the palace is not easy, even the prince has his own way of survival. Now Hina
The bird is flying high, and there is shelter from the wind and rain. Naturally, the pretense before is no longer needed.
This kid is good. Honesty is especially rare. He doesn’t make excuses or perfunctory things. If he can do it, he can do it. If he doesn’t, he can’t.
But it seems that in just one year, Zhang Yan’s weight in this child’s heart is no less important than that of our royal family.”
Yang Sheng himself went from prince to prince and then ascended to the throne as emperor. Even he was not the eldest son among his brothers. He knew his survival and goals from the moment he was born. The difference between Yang Rui's performance before and now is easy to understand.
It's not strange, nor surprising, nor does it feel like there's anything wrong with it.
This is how the royal family is, they have to fight since they were born, and they have to avoid fighting if they don't. Otherwise, how can we hold the world together?
"But it can be heard from Xiao Shisan's words that Zhang Yan is very confident in his method and is sure that even if we take it, it won't be possible. The threshold! It's really hard to say about this thing."
"Your Majesty, I think this threshold may be an obstacle to others, but it is not difficult for the royal family to cross it. There are millions of living beings in the world, even if you pick one out of ten thousand or even one out of a million, you can find something.
Young Master. It depends on whether Mr. Zhang is willing to teach."
Yang Sheng smiled and continued walking in the garden without stopping, taking a sip of the warm tea in the teapot in his hand from time to time.
"Teach? I used to think that Zhang Yan's skills would be taught in the same way as in the martial arts academy. But you also heard what Xiao Shisan said today. Do you think Zhang Yan can teach more skills in teaching?
Someone? He doesn't have the energy even if he wants to."
How could Wu Kui not understand what Yang Sheng said. He nodded. Indeed! According to His Highness the Thirteenth Prince, Zhang Yan tried his best to the smallest detail for his three disciples. Not only
It is limited to teaching methods, but also provides guidance from daily life to character training and principles of dealing with things. To put it bluntly, many fathers may not necessarily have such meticulous teachings for their own children.
How much effort does it take to teach like this? Wu Kui couldn't tell, but he knew that if it were him, he would only have one or two such disciples at most. Even if Zhang Yan is stronger than him, three is already a lot now.
"Then, Your Majesty, are you ready to stop mentioning the matter of seeking justice?" Wu Kui knew that the emperor's recent thoughts were almost entirely on the return of the Thirteenth Prince. The most important thing was that he hoped to learn from the Thirteenth Prince's mouth.
I got some news about Zhang Yan's methods. The idea was to keep the wealth and water from going to outsiders. But now it seems that he has changed his mind?
"Why don't you ask for it? You don't understand the principle of those who are near the water, those who get the moon first, right? It's just that Zhang Yan's way of teaching students is so unexpected. It broke some of my previous ideas. Now I have to change it.
After a while, you can prepare some rewards for Xiao Shisan. Concubine Mingying, including her mother-in-law, will also receive rewards. If you give them a bigger reward, you can also start preparing for him. What I said must be done before I
Make sure everything is in place before your birthday. Don’t be careless.
Then tell the dining room that there will be a banquet for Concubine Mingying tonight, and we can get together again."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will make arrangements right away."
After Wu Kui received the order, he hurried down to make arrangements. Although Yang Sheng did not say it explicitly, Yang Sheng's plan could be guessed from these arrangements. This could not even be considered a plan, it was just a roundabout way of doing things.
Concubine Mingying is Yang Rui's mother-in-law. In addition to Yang Rui, Concubine Mingying also has a daughter, who was married the year before last.
Today's banquet was given by the emperor, which was a very rare thing. At least Concubine Yang had never received such a reward after giving birth to Yang Rui. Usually it was just some rewards during festivals, or the emperor would come to spend the night for a long time.
Night.
Although they take care of themselves diligently, they are not as good as when they were young. There are always new beauties in the emperor's harem, so they will naturally lose their thoughts. Therefore, the women in the harem are always paranoid. It is not that they think that the environment is like this and they have no choice. Just like
Concubine Mingying, at her age, she can still be considered charming outside the palace, but in the palace, she is old and wan. If she didn't have a promising son, would the emperor give her a banquet?
It is very rare for a "family of three" to have dinner together in the palace. Many women in the palace would not dare to dream of such a good thing.
Yang Rui has a precocious mind, but that does not mean that he has completely lost the expectations and ideas that a child should have. He also cares about the reunion and warmth of the family, and even finds it more precious.
I thought that my father would mention the things that happened at noon again during the dinner, but he didn't at all. Yang Sheng hugged Concubine Ming Yang with great interest and kept talking about some interesting things about Yang Rui's past, and even took advantage of his drunkenness to talk about it.
He played the piano and asked Concubine Mingying to dance a song. The whole family had fun until late at night.
Yang Rui, who was in a happy mood, was unable to stay in Concubine Mingying's courtyard and went back to his old courtyard to rest. The emperor stayed overnight in Concubine Mingying's courtyard tonight.
Early the next morning, Yang Rui got up and packed up and went to pay his respects to his mother and concubine. He was not surprised to learn that the emperor had left before dawn. He sat in the courtyard and had breakfast with his mother and concubine, and then had a good chat.
.
However, Concubine Yang shed tears while chatting about it. She was talking about the hard work of the heartbroken emperor. It can be said that one person dedicated his whole life to the country. Even if there are some warriors who are close to him, they can't stop such hard work. He is getting older day by day.
I hope that Yang Rui can help the emperor to share his worries. Instead of asking for the crown prince position in the future, it is always appropriate to ask for some filial piety, right?
What Concubine Ming Yang said made Yang Rui unable to retreat, because it was indeed true. His father was definitely a good emperor and a diligent emperor, and he did worry about state affairs. And shouldn't he be the son of a man?
Do you want to help me out of filial piety?
"Mother and concubine, how can I help my father? I can't teach the teacher's skills privately, otherwise..."
"Silly boy! Why would mother let you do such a senseless thing? But you can beg for mercy on behalf of your father. You are Mr. Zhang's disciple, so you are easy to talk to. You don't need any powerful means. You are a simple warrior.
As long as it works. And don’t force it if you try it. This can be regarded as your filial piety, and Mr. Zhang will not blame you for such a trivial matter."
ps: I have to go to the hospital for physical therapy in the next two days, so I will make up the remaining chapter in the afternoon. I hope you can bear with me.
