My concubine is so good at curling

1
The eldest prince Xie Zhao knew it from birth, and he was extremely intelligent.

The third prince, Xie Qi, is courteous and friendly, and his riding and archery skills are superb.

Xie Zhao will not talk about him anymore. His biological mother, Concubine Hao, is a hero among women. How can the son she raises be bad?
Xie Qi's biological mare, Ronghua, did not deliberately raise her son. She was assigned to be a servant of the daughter of the Rong family since she was a child. He was not willing to indoctrinate adult plots in him... Under all kinds of entanglements, Ma Ronghua didn't teach his son anything except asking for his health.

But Xie Qi especially loves to cling to the two elder brothers.

The "study plan" customized by the eldest prince, Xie Qi, also did not need to be supervised, and gradually showed a talent for riding and shooting, and was also very interested in leading soldiers and fighting generals.

It happened that the second prince Xie Sheng was under the pressure of Guo Xiaoyi, his homework was mediocre, and his riding and archery classes were a waste of time.

After the three princes went out of the palace to build a mansion as adults, and each took charge of the imperial errands, Xie Sheng intensified.Not only did he not think about getting familiar with the errands and taking on more responsibilities, but after he was sure that his presence and absence would not affect the operation of the household department...he just let it go.

on duty?
I am sick, and I have a disease that can only be cured by going to the flower shop to hug my beautiful sister.

Send him a job?

This is simple, there is no shortage of patrons around the prince, and there are many capable people in the Guo family who are willing to help the prince.

Brothers who went to practice at the same time, the first prince lost his childishness and became more radiant, and the third prince was tanned and thinner. Every time he entered the palace, Ma Ronghua was so distressed that he burst into tears. She didn't have a good face either, thinking that the daughter-in-law didn't take good care of her son.

Only Xie Sheng's face became rounder, his complexion improved, and he became more energetic.

Xie Sheng lay flat for more than half a year, and no one in the household department dared to report him.

For one thing, the original official didn't want the airborne troops to affect his work and take credit for it. He just pretended not to influence others. No one thought there was a problem. At most, he felt that the second prince was lazy and had no ambitions.

Second, isn't this the same as telling the emperor that you don't know how to teach your son?
I don't know if Xie Sheng will be punished, but the one who made the report will have a bad impression on the emperor, so no one is willing to step into this muddy water.

But there is no impenetrable wall in the world, and this matter finally reached the emperor's ears.

The emperor was furious and immediately sent the second prince into the palace.

At that time, Jiang Xian was beside him, and patted him on the back to comfort him: "The emperor calms down, let's listen to the child's thoughts first, the Second Highness is still young..."

"Qi'er and his imperial concubine are pregnant, how young is he as the second brother?!"

To be honest, Jiang Xian can't quite understand the thoughts of the rich second generation.

But she knew that coercion was useless: "If it is useful to scold him and teach the servants around him, Second Highness won't let the emperor be hurt today. If the emperor scolds him angrily, what is the difference with Guo Xiaoyi?"

Liang Yuyin was very impressed after hearing this.

As expected of Noble Concubine Hao, she fully understands the emperor's pain points.

The emperor raised his face and looked at Jiang Xian sadly: "I changed it, how can Xian'er compare Guo Xiaoyi to me."

"So the emperor will be able to talk to the Second Highness calmly later?"

The emperor nodded and beckoned Jiang Xian to sit in his arms.

He asked her to tell her what she thought of Xie Sheng's behavior.

"Your Majesty, the Second Highness was not born by me. Zhao'er and him are both brothers and competitors. It's not appropriate for me to say anything, so it's better not to say anything."

It's not a good thing to say.

If Jiang Xian had to say it, she didn't care.

What is her origin?Gritting her teeth all the way up from the abyss, achieving 120 points can barely be "fair" with people who are [-] points. If she said that the second prince's family background is so good, he can do whatever he likes. Not only does she not understand the troubles of the second generation , I just feel very luxurious.

"That's right, it's embarrassing for Xian'er. It's just that the Second Highness always went to your palace in the past. I think you have a little understanding of his temperament."

"I have taught him knowledge, but I have never taught him how to behave, so as to save Guo Xiaoyi from coming to me."

Jiang Xian said it so clearly, she knew that the emperor would not blame her for this.

She is not a virgin, and she has no hobby of teaching children.

When Xie Sheng arrived, Jiang Xian insisted on staying in the side hall instead of listening to the conversation between father and son.

"No matter how close we were when we were young, Second Highness is now a man. The emperor teaches his son, but let the beloved concubine listen to him. How will he deal with himself?"

"If he wanted face, he wouldn't do such a thing..."

Under Xian'er's gaze, the emperor finally changed his words: "Alright, I will listen to what he has to say!"

……

When Xie Sheng came in, he saluted his father as usual and stood at the head.

"Cheng'er, do you know why I sent you here?"

"My son knows."

The emperor choked: "Since you know, Cheng'er committed the crime knowingly?"

"Father, my son doesn't want to work in the household department."

The emperor: "Then where do you want to go? Tell me."

The emperor loved and cared for his sons and daughters very much. He always packed them up and sent them to the moon if he wanted stars. Since the Ministry of Households is not happy staying here, he should try another department. Let the children try it, and he will take care of everything.

It seems that the second son has something he wants to do!

The emperor was very pleased to think about it.

As a result, the second son's next sentence was: "I just want to get some money from my father, mother and concubine every year, and stay in the palace to have fun every day. If my father is bored, I can send my son to the palace to relieve boredom. The elder brother and the third younger brother both If you are busy, your ministers can be filial on your behalf."

"..."

His father almost lost his breath, and his filial piety became filial piety.

The emperor also felt that his son was just thinking about it for a while, and said: "I am still young, and I have a lot to do, and I don't have much free time. You don't have to worry about me, it is time for you to show your strengths. As long as Wherever you want to go, just tell me."

"If you insist on what I say, I want to witness the greatness of the Xie family on behalf of the emperor who guards the capital."

High emotional intelligence: experience great rivers and mountains
Low EQ: Touring mountains and rivers
The emperor was furious, and remembered that Xian'er told him not to worry.

So he calmed down and asked again, Xie Sheng said:
"I have figured it out—I have figured it out many years ago. If I want to think about it, I don't want to go to the study, but I am happy with my eldest brother and third brother, so I endured it. Father is in his prime, eldest brother The three younger brothers are all capable, all the civil and military affairs of the court are used by the father, and even the noble concubine Hao can share the father's worries. In this huge capital city, it is no problem for a young minister to contribute. I beg the father to let his son go, let him be a good man Prince Xiaoyao, let Yonglu live forever."

He said and knelt down.

The concubine mother forced him to fight with his elder brother, but he didn't want to fight at all, so what if he won?Like my father, prepare for the morning court before dawn, and turn on the lamp to review the memorial until late at night?This is not the life he wants to live.

Xie Sheng talked about all the places he wanted to visit, and he talked for a long time. After he finished talking about the Shu land, which was said to have miasma, he stopped and looked at his father eagerly.

The emperor looked at his grown-up second son, but thought of Jiang Xian in the side hall.

I tried to persuade him countless times, but was rejected when I wanted to go out with her.

People's temperaments are very different, it would be great if Sheng'er and his concubine Hao can be reconciled, one is living too hard, the other is lying too relaxed.He also thought that the late emperor had four sons, all of whom were quite promising, but in the end two were killed in the fight, leaving him and the second elder brother.

If he had to choose, he would rather all three sons live well.

An idle prince, he can afford it.

Xie Sheng thought he would be punished.

Penalties and thinking about mistakes behind closed doors are the most basic. If it is serious, you may close the door and teach him a lesson. Unexpectedly, after thinking about it for a while, the father said:

"You recorded the itinerary that you dictated to me today. You said that you want to see the great rivers and mountains of Xie's family for me, right? Then you go and see, record the customs, and see if the local officials have been corrupt or dereliction of duty. Make peace with the injustices in the world, and send letters home regularly to let me know that you are safe."

Xie Sheng was stunned, and didn't realize it for a while, but his father actually took his joke seriously!
In fact, he has no idea about traveling in mountains and rivers.

After all, he hasn't been out of the capital yet.

His father granted him this way, but he became timid instead: "Isn't my father punishing my son for playing things and losing his mind? Except for the first day of reporting, my son has never been to the household department..."

If it was the mother concubine, she would definitely punish him severely.

No, it will be worse.

She would be stunned and then break down and cry, feeling hopeless in this life.

But Xie Sheng has endured it for many years. After leaving the palace and building a mansion, he hopes to live it for himself.

"If you don't want to go, don't go. I insist on you going, but you are not willing." The emperor waved his hand, motioning his second son to sit beside him. "I knew ten years ago that persuasion is useless."

Xie Sheng had admiration for his father, and it was just an ordinary opportunity not to get close to him. Now that he was beckoned over, his little heart was beating wildly, and he leaned over and sat down curiously: "Who else would let father be so close?" Troubled?"

Anyway, it will definitely not be the eldest brother.

The third younger brother is also a reliable person, at most he was a bit lazy. Two years ago, he fell off his horse and was injured. Ma Ronghua was so scared that he couldn't sleep at night: he took care of his son in front of his bed with his clothes untied.

"Who else could it be?"

The emperor sighed leisurely, and said a name in front of Xie Cheng that he couldn't even think of: "How could it be? Concubine Hao's mother is the most capable person in the harem, and the emperor often says that she is indispensable to assist him?"

"But I just want to take her to the south of the Yangtze River for fun. She said that the first emperor once visited Qufu in the east. The emperor has not been to the south of the Yangtze River for a long time. The salt merchants will definitely donate money to welcome the emperor. In addition, the details of the construction of water conservancy will be the best after field inspection. Set it down so that the people will not be disturbed by floods.”

Both father and son are people who love to play. After hearing this passage, their faces showed the same expression of concern.

Although Guo Xiaoyi was concerned about Xie Sheng being dispatched, she was not very sad.

As for the prince, being sent out to experience training is a sign of being valued. Although she would prefer her son to find a job in the Six Departments so that he can show his face more in front of the emperor, the holy will has been determined and she cannot change it.

The saddest thing is the eldest prince.

He sent letters frequently, asking if his second brother was okay.

Xie Sheng wrote back - of course it's all right, my father sent a lot of elite soldiers and hidden guards to me, I don't even feel comfortable visiting brothels, I'm afraid I won't be able to go to the place of fireworks in the future.

At the very beginning, Xie Sheng was like a wild horse running wild, running to have fun.

Unexpectedly, after seeing his "travel arrangement", Concubine Hao brought him into the palace and delivered him some things - she bought the distribution of some resource crops of Yanchi from the system with a lot of money, and regarded it as Homework is also a task, Xie Sheng must complete it.

Imperial Concubine Hao has treated him half as a teacher, so he dare not resign.

Think about it, it's boring to play, it's more fun to find some new objects on the way!
When he agreed, Aunt Zhenqiu held out a palm-thick loose-leaf book with both hands and handed it to him.

Xie Sheng: ...

If he wants to repent, he shouldn't underestimate Concubine Hao's workload.

The Second Prince left the capital, but he did not return for several years.

Although the person didn't come back, letters from home were frequently sent back—with the seeds, metals and books that Jiang Xian asked him to find.

He also heard about his low-key trips, exposing a gentry of a local fish and meat villager, and his family letter wrote in detail how he pretended to be a pig and eat a tiger, and finally revealed his father's identity in a majestic manner.

The elite soldiers and secret guards sent to him by the emperor were really not in vain, and after half a year, another den of the rebel party was wiped out, and this home letter is even more terrible-Xie Sheng said that he fought against people in the Jianghu, and fought for [-] rounds. It was chopped off by the horse.Hearing this, the third prince's blood boiled with enthusiasm, and he insisted on adding a sentence to his reply letter: "Looking forward to leading troops and fighting generals with the second brother, and the emperor father would like to nominate a general again in the future!"
When Xie Sheng sent home a letter back to Beijing, he said that he didn't want to be a general, how hard it is to lead the army in battle.

He wants to act chivalrously, so please give me more money from my father, eldest brother and third brother.

It is said that when Guo Xiaoyi finished reading the family letter passed to her, she fainted directly.
