After a while of tea, Chu Yi gently put down the book in his hand that recorded the specific situation in Nanyang that he learned from Governor George, Earl Harry and others, and slowly tapped the table with one hand.
The whole person seemed to be thinking about some issues.
Chu Yi sat there, lost in thought, while Yue Buqun stood there solemnly, not daring to disturb Chu Yi at all.
As for Zhu Zaiji next to him, he obviously had a psychological shadow on Chu Yi. He was holding the book in his hand, looking bitter and resentful, muttering softly in his small mouth, and he didn't know what he was muttering.
What.
Glancing at Chu Yi secretly, Zhu Zaiji couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he saw that Chu Yi didn't seem to notice him. His small body bowed quietly, then he raised his short legs and took a step quietly.
Although Zhu Zaiji kept making small moves, he did not forget to stare at Chu Yi's actions. Then seeing that Chu Yi still had no reaction, Zhu Zaiji endured the joy in his heart and stepped out again, approaching the pavilion in the distance step by step.
When Yue Buqun, who was standing aside, came in, he naturally noticed everyone in Chu Yi's courtyard at a glance, including Zhu Zaiji and the queens in the pavilion not far away.
However, Yue Buqun did not dare to look any further. At this moment, Zhu Zaiji's small movements naturally attracted Yue Buqun's attention.
As a fellow commander of the Imperial Guards, Yue Buqun naturally knew the situation of the royal family very well, and even met the prince Zhu Zaiji more than once.
Therefore, Yue Buqun is no stranger to Zhu Zaiji. It is also known to the world that Chu Yi taught Zhu Zaiji as the crown prince and tutor.
Seeing Zhu Zaiji acting cautiously and leaving while Chu Yi was thinking about the problem, Yue Buqun couldn't help but feel a little funny in his heart.
At this moment, Zhu Zaiji had walked almost ten feet away. It seemed that because Chu Yi had no reaction, Zhu Zaiji's face was filled with joy, and his eyes were full of infinite joy. He immediately took steps and ran straight towards the distance.
He ran over to the attic.
In the attic, accompanied by several palace maids, the queen was sitting there reading a book. Although I can't say that all the queens of the Ming Dynasty were virtuous and virtuous, they did not have any troublemakers. Queen Xia was born in a family of officials.
, he is naturally proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Sitting there reading a book at the moment, he looked extremely quiet.
A maid standing next to Queen Xia obviously noticed the little prince Zhu Zaiji's little movements in the distant courtyard and couldn't help but said to Queen Xia: "Empress, look at the little prince..."
Queen Xia raised her head and looked into the distance, just in time to see Zhu Zaiji bowing slightly and walking away from Chu Yi with a cautious look.
Just looking at Zhu Zaiji's cautious look, Queen Xia couldn't help but smile a little on her face.
"Your Majesty, what a joke!"
Although she said this, her words were filled with infinite favor. Queen Xia only had one son. If nothing else happened, Zhu Zaiji would be the future emperor and her support for the rest of her life.
For Zhu Zaiji, it is natural to imagine that Queen Xia dotes on him. Fortunately, Queen Xia also knows that if Zhu Zaiji wants to ascend the throne, he must rely on Chu Yi and other important officials in the court. Even if it is just for Zhu Zaiji's own consideration, Zhu Zaiji must
Be willing to study hard.
Therefore, no matter how much Queen Xia doted on Zhu Zaiji, when Queen Xia was teaching Zhu Zaiji to Chu Yi, no matter how Chu Yi punished Zhu Zaiji, Queen Xia would not come forward.
Of course, Queen Xia was able to leave the palace and accompany Zhu Zaiji to Prince Wu's Mansion, but she had to seek permission from the emperor, and Queen Xia assured the emperor that she would never interfere with Chu Yi's teaching of Zhu Zaiji.
If this were not the case, how could Queen Xia leave the palace and appear in Prince Wu's Mansion.
"Queen mother..."
Zhu Zaiji trotted towards Queen Xia, his little face full of joy.
With a creak, the door opened. Zhu Zaiji ran into the room, stepped forward and threw himself into Queen Xia's arms. He held Queen Xia in his arms and raised his little face with an aggrieved look and said: "Mother, Ji'er wants to go back to the palace.
!”
Hearing what Zhu Zaiji said, Queen Xia couldn't help laughing. She stretched out her green-white jade finger and tapped Zhu Zaiji's forehead and said, "You little guy, doesn't the Queen Mother know what you are thinking?"
Among Zhu Zaiji's teachers, only Chu Yi would discipline him strictly at all times without treating him as a prince. Even Wang Shouren and Yang Yiqing would occasionally teach Zhu Zaiji strictly, but as Chu Yi did
He would hit his palms with a ruler at every turn, but this was something no one else had done except Chu Yi.
It is conceivable that Zhu Zaiji is just a child. Among the people who are doting on him, suddenly there is such a person who dares to beat him. If there is no fear in his heart, then who is to blame?
In fact, when Zhu Zaiji walked away cautiously, Chu Yi had already noticed Zhu Zaiji's actions. Even if Chu Yi's mind was on the news, with Chu Yi's cultivation, it was impossible for Chu Yi to hide any disturbance.
Yi.
Zhu Zaiji even ran away from him. If Chu Yi didn't notice it in this situation, it can only be said that Chu Yi's reaction was too slow.
Glancing at Zhu Zaiji lightly, even Zhu Zaiji didn't notice Chu Yi's look towards him, and thought Chu Yi didn't notice at all.
Gently tapping on the table, Chu Yi looked at Yue Buqun and said: "Commander Yue, I have something for you to handle!"
When Yue Buqun heard this, he couldn't help but perked up. His face showed a bit of excitement and he said to Chu Yi: "My lord, I will do whatever I ask you to do, but I will do my best."
Chu Yi nodded slightly, whispered a few words, then looked at Yue Buqun and said, "Have you written it down?"
Yue Buqun nodded towards Chu Yi and said: "I have taken note of it and will do it now!"
Seeing Yue Buqun leave in a hurry, Chu Yi smiled slightly, stood up slowly, and then looked towards the attic in the distance.
Chu Yi's eyes just happened to meet Zhu Zaiji's. When Zhu Zaiji saw Chu Yi looking at him, he was so frightened that he fell into Queen Xia's arms and said: "The Tutor has found out, Ji'er is in terrible condition, Queen Mother, let's go back to the palace quickly..."
"
Just when Zhu Zaiji looked pitifully and asked Queen Xia for help, a voice came: "Ji'er, can you memorize the Thousand-Character Essay?"
Queen Xia felt a little funny when she saw Zhu Zaiji's appearance. She patted Zhu Zaiji on the shoulder and said: "Ji'er, go to the Taifu quickly!"
Zhu Zaiji raised his head and looked at Queen Xia with grievance and shook his head. It was a pity that Queen Xia usually doted on Zhu Zaiji, but she didn't dare to do so now.
Chu Yi could have made it clear to him and the emperor at the beginning that if he wanted him to discipline Zhu Zaiji, then neither the emperor nor the queen would have any objections during the process of his teaching Zhu Zaiji.
Zhu Houzhao naturally had great trust in Chu Yi and agreed to Chu Yi at that time. Even if the queen had any opinions, she did not dare to raise them. All fools knew that she would definitely hate Chu Yi.
Queen Xia spent a lot of effort to make Chu Yi the Crown Prince and Tutor, and to get Zhu Zaiji to have a relationship with Chu Yi. With this relationship, unless Chu Yi made it clear that he did not support Zhu Zaiji
, otherwise, in the eyes of everyone, Chu Yi is Zhu Zaiji’s supporter.
Pushing Zhu Zaiji away from her arms, Queen Xia stood up and gave a slight salute to Chu Yi outside the door: "Ji'er is naughty, but it's time to trouble the prince!"
Chu Yi smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty, you are too polite. It is Chu's duty to teach Ji'er. Chu should try his best to teach Ji'er and live up to the trust of Your Majesty and Your Majesty."
After patting Zhu Zaiji's little head, Queen Xia pushed Zhu Zaiji and said: "Ji'er, go quickly!"
Zhu Zaiji looked reluctant, but he didn't dare to play tricks. You must know that when he first came to visit, he was taught a lesson by Chu Yi for playing petty.
Zhu Zaiji's little hands were swollen from being beaten by Chu Yi with a ruler. After that, Zhu Zaiji seemed much more docile in front of Chu Yi, at least he was quite afraid of Chu Yi.
Reaching out to pull Zhu Zaiji, Chu Yi said with a smile: "If Ji'er can memorize a thousand-character essay, the master will take you out to play later, how about it?"
"Go out and play?"
Zhu Zaiji's eyes couldn't help but light up when he heard this, his face was full of yearning and expectation. He blinked, looked up at Chu Yi and said, "Master, didn't you lie to Ji'er?"
Seeing Zhu Zaiji's appearance, Chu Yi couldn't help laughing and said, "Teacher never lies!"
