Chapter 217 The Queen's Teachings 3
Listening to the Queen's words, Si Jin thought deeply.

The queen nodded secretly in her heart. This is a person who can listen. She was happy and said again, "It takes ten years to grow trees and a hundred years to cultivate people. The eldest prince will be raised by your side. Don't let him become a short-sighted person. , rich clothes and fine food, calling and calling servants, these are all what he deserves, it is the dignity of a prince, you have to remember."

Si Jin's heart was like thunder, and she instantly understood where she was wrong.She regarded the three of them as a small family so much that she forgot that her son might be the most likely heir in the future.

Hearing this, Si Jin stood up, and respectfully bowed to the queen, "Thank you for your advice, my concubine, I know I was wrong."

"It's not your fault, and you don't have to worry about it. When the First Prince is enlightened, the Emperor will definitely ask a famous teacher to teach him. At that time, someone will teach him how to be a qualified Prince His Highness."

"Yes, at that time, the concubine also asked the empress to give some advice."

The queen was slightly taken aback, she did not expect that Concubine Xi would agree to her meddling in the eldest prince's education, this is no small matter.After taking a deep look at Concubine Xi, the queen smiled easily, "The emperor will have his own opinion on this matter, and neither the palace nor you need to intervene, do you remember?"

What does the queen mean by this?
Si Jin didn't understand it for a while, but she still nodded.

"Then you should go back and rest too. You should also prepare for the matter of the first year and the first week." The queen said with a smile, just don't grab a rouge box when the eldest prince arrives.

Si Jin thanked the queen again, and then she left Fenghuan Palace.

Walking on the road to Huiyi Hall, the queen's words were still in his mind.Neither the empress nor she can interfere with Yu Jin's education, which means that the empress...hasn't actually tried to be right with the emperor?So what will the government do?
Is the queen going to take a different path from her family?

Chu Chenglan has been in the palace for so long and hasn't been favored, so don't think about the child for the time being.Then, in the eyes of Duke Ling, the child born to Concubine Xi, who is attached to the queen, is not much different from the queen's own son. The only difference is that the eldest prince's biological mother is still alive, which is annoying.

The queen...will she compromise with the family in the end regarding the matter of the eldest prince?

Si Jin didn't know that she didn't have a golden finger to observe the future, but at least the empress and her were relatively harmonious for now.

Besides, the Queen's words today are sincere, and Si Jin is really grateful to her.

If you are not in this position, you will not be able to understand what you should do, what you should learn, and the main points you should master.But today, the queen gave her advice and let Si Jin avoid the big hole in front of her.

The queen is actually a very good person.

It would be great if... if they could go on like this without interfering with each other.

The new year has come to the year of the imperial examination, and students from all over the country have rushed to Kyoto.Starting with suppressing bandits, and finally colluding with pirates as an excuse, under Liang Chengji's iron and blood methods, the family suffered heavy losses this time.There are vacancies in many important official positions in the Six Ministries and in Kyoto.

This means that these candidates have an enviable future waiting for them in the imperial examination in the coming year.

Duke Ling was simply used as a backstop, and his face was covered in blood. Thanks to the empress kneeling in the palace and begging the emperor to express his feelings, the matter turned for the better.In contrast, Cao Guogong, Quzhou, Su, Liwang and others suffered heavy losses. Many officials under his banner were involved, and the questioning of those who were decapitated and decapitated spread to all parts of the country with Kyoto as the center.

On the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival, when Qin Yuchuan returned to Beijing, the emperor personally sent Su Shengyang, the commander of Xiaolongwei, to greet him. There is no other honor like this.

Ten miles out of the city, Qin Yuchuan meets Su Shengyang.

When they met again, although they still looked down on each other, they secretly exchanged information about each other in private.

This bandit suppression operation went so smoothly, thanks to the great contribution of the sea chart provided by Qin Yuchuan, otherwise the team led by Su Shengyang would not have suffered the fewest casualties.

"Is that all there is?" Su Shengyang asked in a low voice, stuffing a volume into the armhole.

Qin Yuchuan shook his head, "No, it's just a large part. The rest is hard to get, and we need to wait for the right time."

Su Shengyang was not disappointed either, he just said: "The Liang Chengji you recommended is really a talent, he is cruel and dark, and now there are countless people in the capital who want to skin him. Thanks to him, no one treats me anymore. resentment."

Qin Yuchuan raised his eyebrows, and said: "Although he is cruel and merciless, fortunately he is still fair in dealing with things. He is not a person who willfully slanders and slanders. Under the current situation, the emperor needs such a knife."

Su Shengyang turned his head and glanced at Qin Yuchuan, "This is just like an old man, if you weren't in your prime, I thought you were going to die soon."

Qin Yuchuan heard the words with bitterness on his face, heaved a long sigh, and changed the topic, "The eldest prince's birthday is coming soon, please pass on a gift for me."

Su Shengyang's face turned black immediately, "No, if the emperor finds out, do you want to die? You don't want to kill my sister to live well."

"Not in my name, just in your name." Qin Yuchuan said in a low voice, "I just hope that she can be well in the palace, and I have nothing else to pray for."

"That doesn't work either." Su Shengyang can accommodate other things, but he is determined not to help with this matter. "Yu Chuan, it's time for you to start a family, why don't I find out for you."

Qin Yuchuan shook his head, "The country is in turmoil, why do you want to start a family? I don't have that kind of thought now, so I won't bother you." He didn't take out the gift in his arms, and he knew that Su Shengyang absolutely refused to say no. People are hard bones. "After you and I return to Beijing, we can still be the same as before, and we can't communicate too closely."

"It's up to you to say." Su Shengyang's face darkened, it's nothing more than an eldest prince in their family, Qin Yuchuan alone is in danger.Those who are eyeing their family can't do anything, if they know the relationship between Qin Yuchuan and their family, I'm afraid his life will be difficult.

When Qin Yuchuan returned to the capital, although he didn't line up the streets to cheer, there were quite a few people watching.Especially most of the girls who have not left the court, half covered their faces with handkerchiefs, looking shyly at this talented and beautiful Lord Qin who has not yet married, but has made great contributions and returned to Beijing.

This Mr. Qin, without a mother at home, and without a mother-in-law to suppress him after passing through the door, is simply the best candidate for the most perfect husband-in-law.Even Su Shengyang, who is so heroic and mighty, paled a lot in front of him, who made him get married.

Just looking at Lord Su's appearance, many people thought in their hearts, no wonder the concubine Xi in the palace is so favored, her brother is already a dragon and a phoenix, so the appearance of the empress is naturally not a problem.

Qin Yuchuan left expressionlessly under the crowd's gaze, and instead of going home, he followed Su Shengyang directly into the palace to meet him.

The mid-autumn banquet and the First Prince's first birthday celebration were the first and last days. Under the empress's auspices, they were quickly organized with great vigor and excitement.

During this period of time, Xiao Qi basically did not set foot in the harem, and with the fact that Concubine Xi's mother and son lived in Heyi Hall, how could he give others a chance to see the emperor.Therefore, whether it is the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet this time, or the First Prince's Zhou Ceremony, it is an excellent opportunity.

Peng Mingwei looked at Qiao Xiaoyi who was sitting opposite, with a faint smile on her face, "Actually, what's the difference, the emperor's eyes have always been on Concubine Xi, so we went, I'm afraid the emperor won't see it So it doesn’t matter whether it’s clothes or jewelry.”

After listening to Peng Mingwei's words, Qiao Lingyi raised her eyes to look at her, the smile on her face could hardly hold back, and she sighed heavily, "I really don't know how Concubine Xi did it, table... Your Majesty was not like this before. .”

After listening to Qiao Lingyi's words, Peng Mingwei was in a daze, and after a while she said, "I heard that both Li Cairen and Wang Guiren specially hired Si Yi to tailor clothes." No, her father's official position is too low, and these people don't take it seriously.If she hadn't been friendly with Qiao Lingyi, she would have been bullied in this palace.

It has been a year since he entered the palace, and so many things happened in this year, thinking about it now, Peng Mingwei felt as if he had stayed in this palace for the rest of his life.Everyday life is to look up at the sky in the four corners in that small courtyard, like water in a dry well, without even a single ripple.

It is heard that Concubine Xi was sued by Li Zhaoyi in front of the emperor, and then demoted to Yilanxuan, where she met the emperor who was sheltering from the rain, and then she turned around and walked all the way to the current position of Concubine Xi.

"Before Concubine Xi, I heard that the emperor did not only favor one person in the harem." Peng Mingwei said softly, her voice was still as gentle as before.

"Yes, the emperor was a very fair person before."

fair man?Is that unfair now?

Peng Mingwei looked at Qiao Lingyi's expression. After living in the palace for more than a year, she was no longer the simple person she was when she first entered the palace.Here, she is considered a master, but she has no imperial favor, no strong posture, and those palace people treat everyone with their dishes, and she doesn't know how much grievance she has received.It was only after I figured it out later that I slowly got closer and closer to Qiao Lingyi, and gradually got closer, and this made life easier.

Even though the calligraphy and painting around Qiao Lingyi disappeared inexplicably, as long as the Queen Mother is around, her days will never be as good as hers.

What's more, Qiao Lingyi said these words to her now, did he just say them casually?It's not to encourage her to compete with Concubine Xi for favor.Thinking of this, Peng Mingwei's heart is also very complicated, the feeling of Concubine Xi is really hard to explain.

Concubine Xi at the flower viewing banquet made people feel sharp, unattainable nobleness, and the unbridgeable gap.But after the emperor returned to the palace, Concubine Xi became that person who stayed at home again.It's like everything in this harem, nothing can attract her.
