imperial psychologist

Chapter 423

For 14-year-old Bo Ling and 20-year-old Bai Yi, the most disturbing and funny thing is probably their marriage.

The girl's 14 years old, in the impression of these two people, is mostly the age when adults are strictly guarding against it, for fear that children's puppy love will affect their studies.

However, here, at the age of 14, she has already stepped into the ranks of old girls.

Not to mention the fact that Bai Yi didn't get married at the age of 20.

But for men, everyone has always been more tolerant.

In the past few years, Bai Shijun and Bai Yi have truly experienced what it means to have a family with a hundred women.

Some people talk about relatives in a more subtle way. Here, Bai Shijun and Bai Yi said "the child is not ready", and the other side understands, and some directly start to make sense of the situation——

14 years old is really not young, in this ten miles and eight villages, any decent family, whose girl has passed sixteen and hasn't talked about marriage, will be stabbed in the back by the neighbors.

Bai Yi's head was full of question marks - he had already learned this set of rhetoric when Song Na came, but he didn't expect to repeat it again and again, and learned the lesson over and over again.

Ordinary matchmakers can basically understand facial expressions by this time, but when they encounter some who can't count, they will often continue to say: Those who can't get married at the age of fifteen or sixteen must have something wrong—either the horoscope is too hard, or Too hot tempered, either because of his ugly appearance, or some hidden disease on his body...

Anyway, girls from good families, except for going to high places - such as sending them to the palace, there is absolutely no one who is still undecided after fifteen.

Usually when it comes to this point, Bai Yi goes directly to the backyard to get a broom.

In the past three years, the palace has also pushed through the selection of concubines twice.

Everyone in the court remembers that Emperor Qitai died less than a month after he ascended the throne.

They all still remember that when Emperor Shengming came to the throne, he was almost broken at the enthronement ceremony - at that time, everyone was a little bit guilty, how long can this young emperor last?

But in the most difficult days, the boy survived.

The first major event after Emperor Shengming ascended the throne was the reorganization of the cabinet. Sun Beiji was officially appointed as the first assistant minister and minister of the Ministry of officials, and Zhang Shouzhong was the second assistant and minister of the Ministry of war.

In the past when the Song Party was in power, the two kept a low profile, but now that the situation is irreversible, the two have no taboos.

The new appointments have brought about a new atmosphere. Externally, the rulers and ministers are united, and the ambitions of the main combat faction are unrestricted; internally, everyone has turned their attention to Chen Yicong's empty harem—Your Majesty, you should stay early. It's better to go down to the Dragon Heir.

However, Chen Yicong himself was not in a hurry at all, he didn't keep any of the beauties who were sent to the palace after many screenings.

——"The gold thief is not destroyed, so what is the family?"

That's what Chen Yicong said, and the officials couldn't fault it.

However, the eunuchs in the inner palace still fulfilled their responsibilities meticulously, observing the emperor's preferences - which beauties he was indifferent to during the selection, and which beauties were gentle, and even smiled... Eunuchs All recorded.

Relying on these meticulous observations, the folk aesthetics of the Ming dynasty also changed immediately.

At that time, Emperor Jianxi favored beautiful women who were good at riding and shooting and heroic. During his reign, the trend of women riding and shooting swept across the country;

But now Chen Yicong is on the contrary, only those girls with a bookish look can get his favor, if they can talk freely, comely and have a bit of air, even if he doesn't stay in the palace, he will give some extra rewards;
As a result, ladies from famous families all over the world quickly shifted their requirements for daily lessons from "knowledge of Chinese characters" to "full reading of poetry and books", and occasionally even study policy theory like men.

Of course, this is not a small expense, but even if you can't afford it, it doesn't matter, Emperor Shengming still has an itching spot.

The eunuchs once left such a record - it was a girl who didn't study much, but her nails were beautiful, so Chen Yicong looked at those hands and was lost in thought for a while.

In the end, although he didn't say anything to the girl, he still left a lot of rewards.

So as long as you take good care of your nails, you might be able to win the emperor's favor.

During these three years, Bo Ling still entered the palace on time every day and went home on time most of the time. Occasionally, when it rained heavily or was windy, he would temporarily stay in the courtyard of the palace for one night.

According to Emperor Jianxi's will, during the past three years, Bai Ling divided the psychological lecture into several small lectures on several themes, and taught Chen Yicong the original one.

In the spring of the second year of Shengming, Chen Yicong insisted on a northern tour despite the objections of his courtiers. This time, the northern tour lasted seven months. Bai Ling did not follow, but Bai Yi was assigned to accompany him on the trip. The disinfection methods and nursing common sense developed by the hospital will be taken to other places.

But it is a pity that when he followed the emperor's chariot and horses, all the rules and drawings he left behind were shelved. Military doctors everywhere had their own set of rules. Take the doctor's words to heart.

After the end of the northern tour, Bo Ling continued her course by connecting with the previous progress.

The course is still going on today, but since she started teaching Chen Yicong until now, there has never been any companion reading.

From the beginning to the end, there was only Chen Yicong.

Chen Yicong learned very well, partly because he is really smart, and partly because he hardly misses what he said to Bo Ling.

He and Bo Ling argued about some things, and a few times it made Bo Ling look a little gloomy.

The most troublesome time had nothing to do with the content of the coursework—he asked Bo Ling why he didn’t use the spermaceti he gave him for several days. .

But now Chen Yicong is no longer at a loss like he was three years ago.

At certain moments, he even felt that Bo Ling's appearance of not speaking because he was angry was a little cuter than usual.

Three years later, that courtyard still has no name, only the "Zhenshan Liufang" bestowed by Emperor Jianxi that year is still hanging in the center of the main hall, silently overlooking everything.

……

November of the third year of Shengming.

In the early morning, the damp and cloudy sky made people feel unbearably cold.

However, the three members of the Bai family still got up according to the time. Bai Yi and Bai Ling were busy in the kitchen. Let's check his and Bai Yi's medicine cabinets for today.

After eating, the three of them went out together.

Bai Shijun and Bai Yi went to the imperial hospital, and Bai Ling entered the palace.

The days are back to normal.

The courtiers also got up early and entered the palace to participate in today's morning court.

Outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, all the ministers waiting to enter the hall were tense - because the matter that Emperor Shengming wanted to discuss today was not trivial.
