Chapter 285 The Second Prince

When you have a child, the child becomes a timer.

Xie Yunjue was enlightened at the age of three and became a prince at the age of five.Having the crown prince also gave those old ministers who thought about it all day long and advised him to expand his harem one less excuse.Yun Jue is the eldest son, and the second prince Yun Xuan is nearly six years older than him.

Yunxuan was born at noon.That day, as soon as the prince came back from school, he saw a crowd of people gathered outside his mother's bedroom.Everyone was concerned about the queen inside and didn't notice the prince coming.

What happened?The little prince originally had an article in his hand, and the prince and the master praised the writing well. He threw the words away and squeezed in through the crowd.

It turned out that it was his pregnant mother who started it.

"Mother!" The prince stood by the bed, supporting his mother who was about to move the bed, and asked anxiously: "Is the little brother coming out?"

Haitang nodded and forced a smile: "Yunhui is going to be a brother. Can you help your mother and go to the side hall?"

The little prince nodded solemnly.Without his father, he is just a little adult.

The attack had just happened not long ago, so Haitang figured it would take some time. The emperor was still attending the morning court, so he asked someone to pass it on later.Who would have known that this second prince was impatient, and he was born just over two hours ago.

"How is the queen?" The emperor ran back in a hurry.There was no movement before the court in the morning, and before the afternoon court started, someone came to tell her that the queen was pregnant.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, your Majesty has successfully given birth to the Second Prince." The midwife smiled and held the Second Prince out for the Emperor to take a look at.

"So fast?" The emperor was a little surprised. The eldest child had been struggling for a long time.

"I'm not happy, my mother has been in pain for a long time!" The emperor looked down and saw a little man standing on the ground.

The little prince didn't go anywhere for the past two hours, so he moved a chair and sat outside the window of his mother. Changde brought some snacks but didn't want to eat them. When he heard his mother humming inside, he always felt that she was about to die and secretly cried. twice.

The emperor squatted down with his younger brother in his arms, and asked the prince to look at his infant younger brother as well.

But the little prince looked like he wanted to cry. He turned away and didn't look at his brother. He only complained: "My brother is not good. He is causing pain to his mother!"

The emperor was a little amused and enlightened him: "My brother is already running very fast. On the day you came out of your mother's belly, your father copied ten scriptures before you ran out. My father had just come back after giving birth to your younger brother, and the scriptures hadn't had time yet." Copying it." The emperor looked at the prince and said firmly.

The prince asked dubiously: "My brother is really faster than me?" It's not good to be faster than me. Thinking about it makes me a little frustrated.

"But he is definitely not as fast as you on horseback." The emperor came up with a new idea.On the prince's fifth birthday, Xie Yuanfang asked Shi Wu to send him a pony. The prince liked it so much that he insisted on letting the horse sleep in his room all night. Sleep well.

"Yes, my brother doesn't even have a horse!" The prince became happy after thinking about it and glanced at his wrinkled brother sympathetically.

The arrival of the second prince has reduced the pressure on the emperor a lot. Now he not only has a prince, but also a backup.Therefore, there is no shortage of four banquets on the third day of the lunar month, the full moon, the hundredth day, and the first year of the year.

On Xie Yunxuan's first birthday, the emperor granted a general amnesty to the whole world.As for the third child, let nature take its course.

There is a big age difference between the two brothers. By the time the second prince learned to want this or that, the prince no longer bothered to compete with him.His favorite thing now is to practice archery with Sun Huaixin.The small bow Yan Shiyi gave him was no longer enough, so Ling Xue made a bow for each of them, a bow for children around ten years old.As soon as the second prince saw the prince brother and Huaixin brother holding bows and going out, he stepped on his short legs and wanted to follow his brothers.

"Go, go, go play with Cheng Bingde!" The nine-year-old prince didn't want to play with a three-year-old kid.

Sun Huaixin stopped to comfort him and said, "Sun Jiming has a small bow. Let him play with you."

Xie Yunxuan lowered his head and said gloomily: "But I don't have a bow..."

The prince also stopped. He thought for a moment and said to Sun Huaixin: "Wait for me." After saying that, he ran to his room.

After a while, the prince took his small bow that Yan Shiyi gave him when he was born, and handed it to Yunxuan: "Here you go, ask Aunt Shuang for the arrows. Don't follow us anymore!"

After saying that, the two older children ran away laughing.

The second prince was also very happy, and ran into the mother's back room with a small bow: "Mother's queen! Mother's queen! I have a bow!"

When Haitang took a look at it, she knew it was the little bow that the prince had been playing with for several years. She felt a little guilty. The prince was the eldest son, and he had been appointed prince early. Every detail was carefully crafted.The second prince was raised much more generously.

According to the emperor's words: "It's enough to have one outstanding and motivated person. Why should the second child be so outstanding and motivated? Do you want him to compete with his elder brother to inherit the throne?" The emperor did this because he hoped that in the future, their brothers would not Like the royal brothers of all dynasties, they fought with swords for the throne.

Therefore, the second prince grew up wantonly in the palace without seeking to make progress.

But Yunxuan is very smart, and she can learn anything after being taught it once.Haitang tried him several times, including telling him about the medicinal properties and medicinal methods of a plant. He understood the meaning and applied what he learned after just one explanation.

"Ruitang, maybe our brains were inherited by Yunxuan..." Haitang said with some annoyance: "Seeing that it's time for enlightenment, it's a pity that he is obviously a smart child, but he can't be nurtured properly!"

"It's not that I don't want to train him. You can train him to be a doctor, and I can train him to be a general, but I can't train him to be an emperor." Xie Ruitan said with a smile: "How about this, let's see what he likes first. "

The second prince did not find a special master to teach him, but the queen taught him personally. "Three Character Classic" and "Thousand Character Classic" can be memorized in a short time.Haitang did not teach anyone, but asked Ji'er to take him around the palace and teach him how to recognize various plants and animals.

Xie Yunxuan liked this way of learning very much, and after going around, he even caught a few different bugs.Later, there was really nothing new, and he was even asked to see the honeycombs in the East Palace.

The second prince asked Chang An to catch a few bees and bring them back, saying that he wanted to study their stings.

Haitang said to him: "The sting of a wasp is poisonous, but some people use its sting to pierce acupuncture points and use bee venom to stimulate the acupuncture points to achieve therapeutic effects. Leeches suck human blood, but some people use them to suck out rotten meat from wounds, which is better than any other method. The scraper is clean and the damage is minimal.”

"It's like arsenic is poisonous, but it can cure malaria, right?" Yunxuan said with a smile: "Mother, I feel that all things in nature have their own strengths. People can learn from their ancestors and from all things. Am I right?"

Haitang looked at her son playing with bees and ladybugs, and suddenly understood what her second son could learn.
