Concubine's Handbook of Good Life in Ancient Times

Chapter 337

The fourth prince stood aside and watched Ouyang Mao practice martial arts with his hands behind his back.

With his grandfather's permission, he taught Ouyang Mao the Fang family's marksmanship. Yang's family's marksmanship is a royal secret. Fortunately, the Fang family's marksmanship does not have this rule.

He was originally going to kill the enemy on the battlefield, knowing that Ouyang wanted to be a general, the old Hou Ye immediately agreed.

Since the prince took charge of the government, he seldom came to practice martial arts, let alone the second prince and the eldest prince.

So the entire training ground is the domain of the fourth prince, and he is the biggest here.

Everyone who taught them martial arts has also changed from the old Hou Ye to the current Yongning Hou Fangxian.

The Fourth Prince is not afraid of his uncle at all.However, when practicing martial arts, Fang Xian was very strict like the old Yongninghou, and he couldn't do anything wrong.

Shu Ning had also been to the martial arts training ground a few times, but she couldn't bear to see her son's miserable relationship with them in martial arts.But he was also afraid that the loving mother would fail her children, so she simply stopped coming, fearing that her heart would be soft-hearted and unwilling to part with it.

The fourth prince concentrated on practicing on the field with a gun, demanding perfection in every move.

"Drink~"

A shot pierced the dummy on the field, and it was still in the throat.

"The fourth prince's move is very good, keep working hard."

Fang Xian nodded. The fourth prince is really talented in martial arts. Although he is not as good as the prince, he is better because of his hard work. It will not be a problem to surpass the prince in the future.

Although the prince also practiced martial arts, he spent quite a lot of time on it, but he was busy with state affairs, so naturally he didn't have as much time as the fourth prince.

After killing all the dummies, the fourth prince retracted his gun, picked up the towel held by the servant, and wiped his sweat.

"Uncle, can I also go to the battlefield to kill the enemy?"

The gun in the fourth prince's hand has not been put down.

"This minister can't be the master."

Fang Xian shook his head, the prince's expedition is no small matter.And he also wondered, when the fourth prince was old enough, would Daxia still have battles to fight?

Which of the surrounding countries is not considered a vassal state to Daxia, paying tribute every year.Not to mention fighting with Daxia, now I wish I was also from Daxia.

The emperor sent envoys to various countries along the sea every year. Even if the sturdy warship encountered pirates at sea, it was hard to say who would rob him in the end.

The navy of Daxia has become more and more powerful in recent years, and they defeated the island country.Therefore, as long as the people are not in the brain, they know that they can't live with Daxia.Don't think that if your family is on the sea, Daxia can't hit you. Daxia's navy is very powerful. Your island will sink after a few shots.

It is said that the treasury is almost out of money now, and the country is neither short of food nor money, and the emperor is in a great mood.Even the welfare of officials has been increased. Although there are still corrupt officials, under the eyes of the emperor, all big corrupt officials have been dealt with.If the small corrupt officials are capable, let them pay off with their merits, otherwise only one will die.

The emperor allowed them to receive gifts on three festivals and two birthdays, plus some gray income.

But people must have a limit, beyond which the butcher's knife in the hands of the emperor will come down.Do you really think the emperor doesn't know?He didn't know when he didn't want to know, and no one could hide from him what the emperor wanted to know.

Moreover, the salary has increased, and with the addition of gifts and some gray income, the life of officials will definitely not be sad.If you are still not satisfied with this, dare to reach out to the treasury, if you don't chop yours and whose hands?No matter if it is the relatives of the emperor or ministers of civil and military affairs, as long as they dare to stretch out their hands, they will be chopped up. The emperor doesn't care what relationship they have with him?All sons are the same, let alone them.

Shu Ning sat next to the queen, thinking about things.In fact, she is more accustomed to using the calculation method of later generations. There are too many people here, so I had to draw the abacus.Fortunately, she is also good at abacus, and she does the abacus and mental calculation together.

One account was quickly finished by her, and the result was written down later, and another account was taken out to continue the calculation.

"Sure enough, I still need the help of the imperial concubine, so I can relax!"

The queen put down the ledger and took a sip of tea.

"Ha, I was dragged by my sister to do coolies early in the morning, so of course my sister is relieved."

Shu Ning quickly finished another book, wrote down the result later and left it alone.

After a whole morning, she was also tired.

"Pfft, don't be annoyed, sister, why don't you give me a banquet later to thank you?"

The queen couldn't help laughing.

The imperial concubine has the ability to make people laugh no matter what time.

"By the way, someone asked me about the princess again. Have you not decided yet?"

The prince is fifteen, and next year he will be sixteen, and it will be too late if he does not choose.

"I have taken a fancy to a family, but I need to observe for a while." After all, we are choosing the mother of the country in the future. It is one thing for this family to be well-educated. First of all, the character must be good.

She has a bad character, no matter how well educated she is from her family, she dare not make a decision for her son.

"Well, I see. You have to know it yourself."

The queen is right, she is still at ease when the imperial concubine handles affairs.

As for who the imperial concubine chose, don't ask for now.There are so many people, if the news spreads but no one is selected in the end, isn't that forcing the other party to die?
Who would dare to want someone who the crown prince doesn't even want?

The empress still approves of Shuning's cautiousness.

"Sigh~ being a mother is really hard. When I was young, I was worried about them getting hurt, not getting enough to eat, and not wearing enough clothes. Now that I'm grown up, I have to worry about their future, daughter-in-law and grandson. It's really all kinds of worries."

Shu Ning said depressedly, feeling that she had been worrying about her children all her life, and couldn't take care of herself anymore.
