Houmen's step-wife

Chapter 589 The Queen's Thousand Years (1)
Back in the living room of the apse, Emperor Xiande really helped Su Wan squeeze his shoulders and beat his back, served tea and water, Su Wan never felt flattered.

Because in her heart, the two are husband and wife, equal, she can do this kind of thing for him, why can't he serve her?Besides, this is not the first time.

The eunuchs and maids around were indeed shocked and stunned at first, but later they got used to it and did what they had to do without making any fuss anymore.

Emperor Xiande squeezed Su Wan's shoulders while asking Su Wanshu if she was feeling well.

At the beginning, his craftsmanship was naturally not good, it was either too heavy or too light, but now he has mastered some skills, as can be seen from Su Wan's comfortable expression.

"Have Tuantuan and Yuanyuan finished school yet?" Su Wan asked.

"Well, it's about time, I'm afraid they're going out to play again!" Emperor Xian De said firmly.

Su Wan sighed, and said, "These two little guys are so naughty, you don't even know who they look like? Fortunately, you found a husband for them and restrained them, otherwise, I don't know what will happen?"

In order to make Tuanyuanyuan calm down, Emperor Xiande found a few gentlemen for them to enlighten them, cultivate their various interests, and restrain their temper, so now they have no time to pester Su Wan up.

The gentlemen who teach Tuantuan and Yuanyuan are not great Confucian scholars or scholars who serve as lecturers, but are selected from officials with good character, down-to-earth but funny, with real materials, and people with their own strengths , to enlighten them, and most of them are very young, not like teaching the two highnesses, but like the playmates of the two highnesses.

Even so, many people's eyes were red with envy, after all, they had already fallen into the eyes of the emperor.If the Ninth Prince became the crown prince and gained the trust of the crown prince, he might be able to enter Zhan Shifu, and his future achievements would be limitless.

These people were carefully selected by Emperor Xian De.How could he be sloppy and perfunctory in teaching his son who he loves and values ​​the most!

Unlike the Ming Dynasty, the Dagan Dynasty still paid great attention to the education of the prince. When he was six or seven years old, he would go to Wenhua Palace to study.

The Ming Dynasty only cared about the education of the crown prince, and generally did not care much about other princes. Once a prince was confirmed to study in the pavilion, he would be appointed a crown prince.

This court also pays attention to the education of other princes, but it is not as careful as it is for the crown prince. They are all general attendants who study bachelors, attend lecturers to give lectures, and adopt the attitude of herding sheep. It is up to the prince himself whether to learn or not.

However, once it is established as the crown prince, it will be different. The education of the crown prince will be taught by the cabinet bachelor and the prince Taifu. Usually there are bachelors who study and lectures, and the teaching content is also the same as that of the prince. The other princes don't need it, and there are more ways to be a king, a way to balance, a way to be an emperor, and so on.

In fact, even if they teach the way of being a king, it is only superficial. After all, they are just ministers.If the crown prince is valued by the emperor, the emperor will definitely bring him by his side to teach by example.

Because there is no crown prince, none of the princes has received the education of the crown prince, and they have no chance to develop relationships with the cabinet ministers, so naturally they will not get their support. This is why the cabinet ministers are not active in opposing the second prince as the prince. .

They already understood Emperor Xian De's intentions, what's more, they have no relationship with the Second Prince as a teacher and apprentice, even if the Second Prince ascends the throne as Emperor in the future, I'm afraid they won't be reused.These shrewd old foxes have already set their sights on the Ninth Prince.

However, they will not propose the Ninth Prince as the crown prince right now, because the Ninth Prince is still young, and it is not a good time to become the crown prince now, and they can only continue to wait now.I believe that day will not be too far away, isn't the emperor already paving the way for the Ninth Prince?
Emperor Xian De's obvious eccentricity made all the concubines itch with hatred.

Especially Empress Ning, jealous, resentful and unwilling, with her eyesight and experience, it is not difficult to guess that Emperor Xiande is training a team for the Ninth Prince.

If His Majesty does this, where will the Second Prince be placed?

Now she finally sees clearly that His Majesty has no plan to make the second prince the crown prince.That being the case, then don't blame her for not caring about the relationship between husband and wife, because he forced it, and she had no choice.

Although Empress Ning had already made up her mind, she also knew that this matter could not be rushed, so she was quite calm.After seeing Emperor Xiande in Qinzheng Palace that time, he became completely silent, did not see any outsiders, and could only recuperate from his illness.

The other concubines were originally still waiting for Empress Ning to uphold justice for them, but after seeing Empress Ning met His Majesty, they became so low-key, thinking that she had suffered a setback from Emperor Xiande, and did not dare to make a fuss .

Afterwards, they were beaten again by the people sent by Emperor Xian De, and they became completely honest.

In the harem, the surface calm was restored.

Time passed day by day, and two months passed quickly.

During the period, because the queen was ill in bed, Su Wan, the imperial concubine, presided over the silkworm kissing ceremony in person.

On the same day, Su Wan left the palace from Xuanwumen (Shenwumen) and went to the Xiancan Altar outside Ding'anmen in the northern suburbs to offer sacrifices. Emperor Xiande sent 1 soldiers to guard the altar and along the way.The women of the fourth grade of literature and the third grade of martial arts each bring a maid to accompany them.

The imperial concubine picked three mulberries, the third prince ordered his wife to pick five, and the marquis Jiuqing ordered his wife to pick nine.After picking mulberry leaves, the mulberry leaves are taken to the silkworm room to feed silkworm mothers.After the ceremony, a banquet is given, and the imperial concubine returns to the palace.In April, the cocoon curing ceremony is held, that is, silkworm women are selected to reel silk and weave it into silk and satin.

Because of the silkworm kissing ceremony, Su Wan gave a strong sense of presence in front of everyone.

However, Su Wan's mind was not on this, her mind was all on cultivating sweet potato seedlings.

Now two months have passed, and the sweet potato seedlings have been cultivated, and then they are transplanted.

Although the sweet potatoes that Yao Rong brought back were all used for seedling cultivation, they were not too much, and they could be completely digested in just one place in Shuntian Prefecture.

The land for transplanting sweet potatoes has naturally been prepared long ago, as long as the sweet potato seedlings are planted.Of course, after planting, people still need to take care of it, so that the sweet potatoes can grow better, and they can be harvested in about four months.

At that time, you can also plant autumn sweet potatoes and winter sweet potatoes.

Emperor Xian De obviously cared about the sweet potatoes. These sweet potatoes are carefully managed, and after a few detailed data, they can be promoted later.
