I open a history tutorial class in Daming

Chapter 45 This kid is no ordinary person!

An hour later.

Song Shen, who had just gotten up and was taken to take a bath and change clothes, was finally ready.

He touched his meticulously combed and slightly damp hair, and couldn't help but complain in his heart -

There were no hair dryers in those days, but his hair was much longer than that of modern women. It took a long time just to dry his hair after washing it. During the two hours of showering and changing clothes, half of the time was spent by someone taking turns drying his hair.

He had just washed his hair two days ago. According to ancient people, washing once every five or seven days was considered very clean. But today the Queen suddenly summoned him, so he had to wash it again...

Alas, the royal family is trouble.

"Sir, can you go by yourself?"

Before leaving, Lan Yun, who helped Song Shen onto the carriage personally, was a little worried.

Song Shen waved his hand and said with a smile:
"Aren't there people sent by my grandfather? What are you afraid of? They won't sell me off."

"Don't worry. Although I can't remember the past, I've been in the palace for so long. I'm afraid that once I step into the palace, my body will react faster than my brain. Nothing will happen. Just stay at home and prepare dinner for dinner, and wait for me to come back and have a good meal."

After a few words of comfort, Song Shen patted the carriage and said loudly:
"Let's go!"

…………

The carriage wobbled out of the back door of the new house and onto the road.

Song Shen couldn't see the scenery outside, but he could hear the bustling voices, which meant that the area around the new house was indeed very lively, and the sound insulation of the alley was indeed very good. No matter how noisy it was outside, no one could hear anything inside, especially judging by the hearing ability of a blind man like Song Shen.

After a while, he clearly felt that the carriage was not shaking as much.

Fumbling to lift the car curtain, Song Shen asked:

"Where is this?"

The driver in front turned around and replied while reining in his horse:
"Sir, we are almost at the palace gate. What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Do you want to go slower?"

Song Shen smiled and shook his head:

"No need. I just felt that the car was not shaking as much, and there were fewer people outside. It was a bit strange, so I asked."

The driver was delighted when he heard this:

"Hey, I used to drive the carriage into the palace for the old master, but I didn't realize it. But now that you mention it, it really is true!"

"The closer you get to the palace, the wider and smoother the road becomes. The bluestone slabs used for paving are better, and there are fewer people. Even if someone passes by, they dare not make a loud noise, otherwise they will be beaten with a stick."

"Alas, I have been driving for so many years and have been to and from the palace gate many times, but I have never noticed this. You are so perceptive!"

Song Shen smiled but said nothing.

Of course a normal person wouldn't notice these details, but he is blind.

After losing your eyesight, you become more sensitive to subtle changes in your surroundings and can easily detect differences.

But compared to this sensitivity... Song Shen still hopes that his eyes can return to normal as soon as possible.

It would be a pity if I never experienced the splendor of the Ming Dynasty hundreds of years ago, the Nanjing Palace that was destroyed in the war, and the customs and culture of the early Ming Dynasty before I die.

…………

Kunning Palace. Empress Ma sat on a couch with a screen beside her.

After she sent all the palace servants out, she spoke to the screen:
"What are you two doing back there? No one's here yet, and you two are silent. Is it that serious?"

Two heads popped out from behind the screen.

It was Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao who were hiding here secretly!
Zhu Biao straightened his clothes and said with a bitter face:

"Mom, Dad and I are a little worried. It's already noon. What if he suddenly goes to class in the middle of the conversation? What should we do?"

Queen Ma was stunned:
"He's in class, why are you worried? There's a screen here, and no one would notice if you were pulled in. Isn't it the same as before?"

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and added:
"Biao'er is worried. When the class starts, we don't know how Song Shen entered the classroom. If his body disappears on the spot like ours, how will we make things right? Will you deal with him or not? Will you call for help or not?"

"If we panic and call for help, Song Shen is not a member of our family, and the matter will eventually be reported to Song Lian. Even if Song Shen comes back, it will be difficult to explain."

"If you don't call anyone, what will you say if he asks you why you weren't surprised?"

"Ah, this midday class is really awkward in terms of timing..."

Her husband's concerns were justified, but Empress Ma disagreed.

She waved her hand slightly and said:

"Why not? When the time is almost up, you two come out and wink at me. I'll pour the tea on him and ask someone to take him to change his clothes. That way, he'll have a chance to be alone."

"If there is any need to delay further, tell him that I am not feeling well and call the imperial physician for a consultation first, and ask him to wait there for a while."

"You two are usually very smart when handling government affairs, but why are you so stupid now? You have so many ways to deal with it!"

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao opened their mouths in shock at the same time, speechless.

Indeed...when it comes to this kind of means, the two of them combined are no match for Queen Ma alone.

You still have to listen to your wife!
Not long after.

A eunuch came in from outside and whispered to Queen Ma:
"Empress, Song Shen has arrived and is waiting outside the palace."

Queen Ma raised her eyebrows and nodded modestly:
"Call him in. You all just wait outside. I have something important to discuss with him."

The eunuch hesitated for a long time and was about to advise the queen that it was against etiquette to be alone in a room with a man outside the royal family, but in the blink of an eye he saw two heads popping out from behind the screen.

His Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stared at him in unison, as if they were going to attack him if he uttered one more word of nonsense.

The eunuch was so frightened that sweat broke out all over his back. He agreed immediately, bowed, and turned away.

When passing by the door, the eunuch took a look at Mao Xiang who was guarding the door like a door god, and he wanted to slap himself twice.

Why didn't I notice Commander Mao was here just now? He is the emperor's personal attendant. Wherever the emperor is, he is there. I actually ignored this. I deserve to be glared at!
But...isn't Song Shen the eldest grandson of Song Lian? He just suffered some injuries, so it would be fine for the Queen Mother to comfort him, but why are even His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hiding there and peeking?

Hiss, this kid is no ordinary person!
outside the temple.

Song Shen, who was standing quietly waiting, heard footsteps getting closer and knew that someone was coming to summon him.

He put on a smile and was about to say a few polite words when he heard a shrill, slightly flattering voice coming from the other side.

"Sir Song, the Queen is calling you in. Come, hold my arm and walk slowly. There's no rush."

Song Shen:?
The eunuchs in the early Ming Dynasty were so kind...are they like eunuchs?
