"Your Highness, it's not good to not concentrate on studying."

Qi Jiaxuan put down the book and looked slightly dissatisfied at the girl who had been focusing on the lush trees outside the window.

"I'm listening to the cicadas chirping."

The girl rested her chin on her hands, seemingly not ashamed that she was caught not paying attention to her study.

"What did your Highness hear?"

"Noisy tight."

Wei Yan sighed, "My mother once said that Zen has been dormant underground for ten years just for this summer cicada. When it comes to late autumn, it will die after it has finished singing. So if I hear its noise, don't let others catch it." , It’s a waste of ten years of hard work.”

"Is His Highness dissatisfied with the fact that the content of the class is not good enough and is he deliberately making fun of me?"

Hearing Qi Jiaxuan's blunt words, Weiyan couldn't help but turn her head and look at the woman who was about the same age as her sister, but her serious expression really made her look a few years older.

"The way you talk is nothing like Mr. Qi."

She had seen Mr. Qi in her mother's study, who was over fifty, still full of energy, funny and lively in speech. Even Mr. Qi Jiabao, who returned to the imperial capital once every three years to report on his work, was not as serious as this one. .

No wonder she had worked as an official in other places for several years and had done practical things, but her father transferred her back to her and became a tutor who studied and taught etiquette.

Her mother once said that she was afraid that if the master continued to behave like this, he might die on the streets one day, and he would have to come back to temper his temper.

"Doesn't this treat me as a whetstone?"

Thinking of this, Wei Yan couldn't help but mutter something in a low voice.

"My father is my father, and I am me, so naturally I am not like him."

Seemingly not hearing Wei Yan's complaint, Qi Jiaxuan saw that the concubine really didn't want to study. She didn't bother to pretend, so she took out a local chronicle from under the desk and continued reading.

She was thinking that the empress knew that the Four Books and Five Classics were useless, and that these were no longer tested in the imperial examination reform. As a result, the concubine was asked to read these books, which made her want to read them too.

The more she read, the more upset she became.

She wants to go out and realize her ambitions, even if the place is far away or a little remote, it doesn't matter.

Qi Jiaxuan thought about it, and his eyes fell on "Yingzhou Chronicle", which was only published in the past two years. It was rumored that Dacheng had spent a lot of time sending people to garrison and educate people in the place where Yinshan was rumored to be overseas.

However, the place was often turned over, and many officials were not very willing to go there, but she wanted to go.

She heard that the buildings there were very relics of the previous dynasty, and there were also continental flowers blooming in spring. She also wanted to see them.

She also heard from people at the Ministry of Industry that Yingzhou's sword forging skills were also very powerful. If Dacheng hadn't studied gunpowder, this sword forging skills would definitely attract His Majesty's attention.

But now, it's not surprising that the queen asked people to use this knife-forging skill to study it and use it for people's livelihood.

"I'm going to see my mother in the afternoon. Let's finish reading today's book here."

Wei Yan is young but has big ideas. If she says she has read this, she will read this, and even His Majesty will rarely change her decision.

But she didn't expect that after she resigned today, someone in the palace would send a message in the evening saying that Her Royal Highness would go to court with His Majesty in the future, and that she would no longer be needed in the Imperial Study Room.

At the same time, she also received a transfer order from the prefect of Yingzhou.

·

"The queen's health is getting worse and worse. The heavy rain a while ago has caused gas problems..."

After dinner, Qi Jiaxuan told Qi Jinghao about the sudden change.

"Her Royal Highness was taken to the former court to listen to government affairs... Her Royal Highness was only thirteen years old..."

There is a folk saying in Dacheng that a girl reaches adulthood at fourteen, but later the Queen and Her Majesty set the age for girls to get married at sixteen.

"Although Her Royal Highness is very talented, she was suddenly brought into the previous dynasty by Your Majesty at such a young age..."

Qi Jinghao couldn't help wiping his tears with his sleeves. In the past two years, these close ministers had vaguely discovered something.

The queen's health seems to be getting worse and worse in the past two years.

"It's a long way to Yingzhou. Take advantage of the warm weather to go north from Zhuzhou. I think you can arrive before winter comes, and you can also bring a letter from home along the way." Qi Jinghao no longer mentioned the queen, but talked with his daughter Xu Xu Taotao talked about going to Yingzhou.

"You are not young anymore. I am afraid that your trip to Yingzhou to get married will be delayed again..."

After talking about political affairs, Qi Jinghao was thinking about Qi Jiaxuan's marriage again, but he had no sense of urgency about it.

"When I meet a destined daughter, my daughter will naturally grasp it. If not, please ask my father to help me adopt one from my brother and sister's knees..."

···

When Wei Yan has a cold face recently, others think she looks more like your majesty. She is sitting at the desk specially set up for her by her father in the Zichen Palace.

She looked at the paper, and her hand was not slow in commenting, but the smell of medicine in the air made her feel uneasy.

This medicinal smell was not the familiar medicinal smell from her mother, but a different kind.

"what happened?"

Discovered by his father beside him, Wei Yan's eyes finally fell on Dongfang Jing'an.

She remembered that this smell came from her father.

"It's nothing, I just feel that my father handles a lot of government affairs every day." Wei Yan put down the zhezi in his hand and turned his head to look at the stacked zhezi on Dongfang Jing'an's table.

"Has mother always helped father to deal with matters before?"

"Yeah." Dongfang Jing'an smiled slightly and asked, "But are you tired?"

"I'm not tired. If my father is tired, why not find more people... Anyway, there are so many people in the court."

"Everyone has their own things to do, and only the emperor can decide these matters." Dongfang Jing'an did not comment on the memorial for the time being, but took Wei Yan for a walk outside the Zichen Palace and talked about the emperor's mind.

Wei Yan kept these things in mind and turned around and told Mei Qian who was admiring the flowers in the greenhouse.

"Well, feudal monarchs always strengthen the centralization of power."

Wei Yan couldn't understand what her mother said at the time. It wasn't until Wei Yan remembered what her mother said when she was old that she vaguely understood what her mother said at that time.

"Wei Yan, if one day the people no longer need us, we should let go."

"At that time, it was not the fall of the dynasty, but the beginning of a new era."

"History is a torrent. If we go against the current, we who were once praised by thousands of people will be scolded as remnants~"

·

The autumn wind blew all the big trees in the courtyard bald overnight. Wei Yan came to accompany Mei Pei after participating in the government affairs. Later, when Mei Pei was tired and sleepy, she went to Zi Chen Hall to help Dongfang Jing'an review the memorials.

Wei Yan discovered that the political views of her father, the emperor, and her mother were actually different, the kind of differences that would turn the world upside down if revealed. However, her father, the emperor, and her mother acquiesced to each other's existence.

However, her father, the queen, and her mother were independent of each other but dependent on each other, but she silently digested their opinions and pulled each other. Sometimes she even suddenly had a "brain twitch" because of Dongfang Jing'an. Something stirred up a fuss.

This matter finally reached Mei Bei, who kept giggling, making Wei Yan feel embarrassed and angry.

"The idea is good, but it must also be combined with reality and timing. This is not the right time to move these out."

Mei Bei never thought that Wei Yan would be so smart. Some of what she said was actually mentioned to her by Mei You. However, Mei Bei felt that Mei You had good ideas, but some steps were still too big.

Although the steam engine has been invented and trains are being prepared, this does not mean that what she said can be used in the court immediately.

So Mei Mei talked about some things in private with Wei Yan, but she didn't expect that Wei Yan really thought about it carefully and dared to use it to mess with her father.

"Then when is the right time?"

"Wait... wait until Weiyan really grows up and can stand alone~"

I also felt that Weiyan was a little pitiful in the early stages. In fact, he was not pitiful. He just had young parents who had a greater influence.

Mayberry: Just wait until I die.
