Yingshu's game was played for His Majesty the Emperor to see, so that His Majesty could find an excuse to delay. Naturally, it was not easy to continue making noise at this time, so she took Peng Liangren to the study. In recent days, Yingshu has discovered that Xiao Peng is actually very easy to learn and has a very good memory. The upright child can calm down easily. This makes Yingshu like her even more, so she likes to be a teacher and is happy to answer Xiao Peng's questions.

But today, Xiao Peng's focus is a bit strange: "Sister, will your Majesty stay overnight in Zhaoyang Palace today?"

"Do you want His Majesty to stay overnight, or do you not?"

"Of course I don't want it. Your Majesty is like an elder in the family, and you are awe-inspiring when you look at him. But if it is for the sake of my wife, I should hope that your Majesty will stay in Zhaoyang Palace, right? Let's just talk to Zeng later. Talent and others are also prohibited from walking in the backyard of the palace? But I don't know if there is a vacant bedroom. If we move the bedding there, would it be against the rules?"

The courses of the Internal Training Department have not yet taught what rules should be followed when His Majesty the Emperor favors the main palace and invites talents and beloved people to live with him as the head of the palace. Xiao Peng knows that of course he can't make any more noise and disturb him, but there are other rules. Woolen cloth? There seemed to be a sense of oppression that made me dare not even breathe loudly.

"Are you also in such awe of your parents when you are at home?"

Yingshu asked this because she was very familiar with Xiao Peng now. Xiao Peng had almost nothing to say to her. Yingshu knew that Xiao Peng had a sister from the same mother. She got married last spring and moved to Yizhou. Xiao Peng missed her sister very much. She would not cry when she missed someone, but would describe the person she missed in endless words. So Yingshu knew about Xiao Peng My sister was born in autumn, so her maiden name is Yanzi. She also has a pair of big round eyes, but the pear dimple is only on the left cheek. Little Sister Peng loves to eat jujube cakes, so she also likes to "feed" her little one with jujube cakes. Peng didn't like being forced to practice calligraphy. She always begged Xiao Peng to trace the calligraphy for her. Before leaving the cabinet, Sister Peng couldn't bear to leave Xiao Peng. She hooked Xiao Peng's finger and said, "It would be great if my sister gets married to Yizhou too." ".

But Xiao Peng rarely mentioned her parents.

"My father and my mother-in-law always quarreled. I rarely see my father. My mother-in-law only dotes on my two brothers and is very strict with my sister and I. But my mother-in-law will not teach me the books like my sister Shu." Allusion, it seems that nothing I say or do is right, but my mother-in-law doesn’t tell me where I made a mistake or how to correct it. She always punishes me. Once my father scolded my mother-in-law, I begged my father not to be angry. I was made to kneel down. Another time when my father scolded my mother-in-law, I didn’t dare to persuade her to make peace, but my mother-in-law still punished me. I didn’t know what I should do, and my mother-in-law never told me What should I do.”

Xiao Peng said this, but she was not sad. The pear dimple on the right cheek appeared: "So I can apply for the election. I am actually very happy. I think someone will finally teach me the rules. I know that I can't marry to Yizhou. Grandma He said that if I didn't choose, I could only marry a son of the He family, He Liangren's cousin. But he actually hated me and said that I just looked stupid and stupid. In fact, I was not stupid. It’s just that no one taught me how to behave, but if someone was willing to teach me, I could learn it.”

In fact, it’s okay if you don’t learn some rules and “ways of life”. There are many smart people in the world. You can’t be invincible just by being smart. Of course, if you live in the arena of power, you must have the ability to judge the situation, but this is not the case. The way to be a human being is just a skill of "enterprising" and self-preservation. The real winners in life are certainly wise, but their wisdom has nothing to do with seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages. In addition to wisdom, there are also indispensable things. Courage and luck.

In addition, the choice at critical moments is also extremely important, and the correct choice often does not rely on the judgment of utilitarianism. People who only value utilitarianism are often trapped in a cocoon, but those who never forget their innocence are willing to retreat bravely. Having achieved his ambitions, he can still protect himself wisely and be respected by the world.

This was the previous life, the teachings given to Yingshu by her grandfather Wang Lan before she entered the palace. It was only after a lot of trial and error that Yingshu could truly appreciate the connotation of these teachings. But she was young and energetic, and had not yet reached a point where she could advance or retreat, so she had no chance to pass the final practice and test.

Yingshu didn't think about instilling this set of teachings into Xiao Peng right now. In her opinion, Xiao Peng should really read more books by sages now.

The books of sages that Ying Shu considers do not only refer to Confucian classics. Although there are Confucian scholars in Henan, they have never respected Confucianism alone. Many celebrities actually pursue the philosophies of Lao and Zhuang. In short, they do not have the string of respecting them. Due to the strong constraints of the celebrities, the behavior style of celebrities is quite straightforward, handsome and elegant - of course, fake celebrities like Yingshu's second uncle Wang Dai do not count.

No matter which theory it is, Yingshu believes that all have merits. In short, these sage books will not teach people to follow others' influence, hypocrisy and insidiousness. Even the military books will emphasize "conquering the enemy without fighting" at the beginning. Although In many cases, there is no choice but to enter into a situation of "attacking the army next" or "sending troops to attack the city".

When learning how to behave, you should avoid copying other people's experiences, because you may encounter someone who is not a gentleman, but a self-righteous veteran or even a sinister villain.

Xiao Peng is like a piece of white paper. Although it has been thrown into a big ink tank like the back court, who says that white paper must be filthy after being stained by ink? Those who foresee the filthy and then cherish the pure are truly rare and valuable.

"I don't think your mother-in-law doesn't care about you." Yingshu's words were not to comfort Xiao Peng: "Your father should also be confused. I don't know why she is disgusted by your father even though she is clearly right. She dotes on your brother. Is that so? Because she is at home and desperately needs the recognition of her family, her father cannot give her love and respect, so she can only fight for the love and respect of her son.

But the daughter's family will eventually leave the court. No matter whether the marriage is far away or close, if you worry too much about your mother's family, you will definitely suffer in the eyes of the royal family. She is determined to punish you to force you to break up. Although this is my guess, it is not completely unfounded. "

Xiao Peng was dumbfounded: "Sister, tell me the evidence."

"I have a second aunt, who is really patriarchal, so she has been teaching her sister to please her grandfather and grandmother since she was a child. She always follows others' influence and uses her marriage to benefit her brother. My cousin is also a well-educated elder. My second aunt has never punished her, and she is protective of her faults, but my cousin has never been as carefree as you. She doesn't dare to blurt out what she wants to say. "

"But why doesn't Aniang teach me to read the books of sages? She doesn't even let me read the books of women and the virtues of women?"

After Xiao Peng asked this question, he suddenly realized: "I told Sister Shu that books are too precious in my house. My daughter's family is not allowed to enter the library at all, and even my sons and daughters cannot take the books back without permission." I stayed in the hospital to read, but it wasn’t my mother who didn’t let me read the books of saints, it was my mother who couldn’t persuade my grandfather and father to let me read the books.”

"As for women's books and women's virtues, she has read them, and her words and deeds are all in compliance with the rules in the book. But as a result, she is disgusted by her husband, and naturally she will not be valued by her parents-in-law or respected by her sisters-in-law. Although she doesn't know How should I teach you, but Xu feels that since I don’t know how to teach, I might as well not mislead you. Xiao Peng just said that your mother-in-law punished you, first because you interceded for her, and then because you didn’t intercede for her. I guess she actually wanted to What's more, she's worried that seeing too much of your father's ruthlessness will affect your mentality, and she's worried that her unfortunate marriage will hurt you."

Not all adults necessarily know how to protect their children. In fact, Yingshu has seen too many people who don't even know how to stand on their own. Like Xiao Peng's mother, she should love and care for her children equally, but unfortunately She was in an embarrassing situation at her husband's house, and reality forced her to use her son as a "talisman."

Yingshu made this judgment because she also heard Xiao Peng mention her brothers at home. Even though the brothers had always been doted on by their mother, when Sister Peng and Xiao Peng were punished, she took the initiative to intercede for them. Mother Peng followed suit. Xiao Peng's mother, Xiao Peng's mother, used her own methods to make her two sons feel compassion for her two daughters. She knew that she was a useless mother, so she had no choice but to hope that her two sons could become her daughters' support in the future.

On the other hand, Wang Rong and Wang Jie never got close to Wang Qing'e. They did as the Yao family told them. Especially Wang Jie, he even said bad things about Wang Qing'e in front of Ying Shu many times to show that he loved Ying Shu more than his cousin. . Although Wang Rong and Wang Jiao seemed to stand up for Wang Qing'e at the Qushui Meeting, that was not their original intention. They became thoughtless idiots under Yao's guidance. In fact, they were the same to Wang Qing'e and Ying Shu. There is no brotherhood at all.

"Actually, I don't blame grandma." Xiao Peng said in a low voice: "Actually, I heard that the reason why grandma and dad were arguing was because she didn't want me to marry to the He family. Grandma said, Since the He family's son looks down on me, no matter how much our family tries to please the He family, I will only be able to endure endless neglect when I marry in the future."

Xiao Peng bit his lip: "How come my mother-in-law has such a difficult life?"

Because your father is not a good man - but Yingshu didn't say this. She touched Xiao Peng's head and said, "It will be fine. When your two brothers become successful, your life will be comfortable."

Of course Yingshu does not agree with the theory that "daughters are useless", but that is the fact. Mother Peng's situation can only be improved by relying on her son. Even Mother Peng herself does not want to burden her daughter. As an outsider, if she encourages Xiao Peng to bear the burden of If Xiao Peng is too eager to get things done, he is likely to go astray.

But when it got dark that day, something unexpected happened, and Yingshu took Xiao Peng, who could completely avoid the storm, to watch an inner court war. As the same saying goes, now that we are in the quagmire, we should face it squarely. Having been trapped in a filthy environment, she still had to be aware that she was in danger. Xiao Peng was actually protected by Peng's mother at home, and did not experience real troubles. She did not realize the sinister side of human nature.

It was Yingshu who met the young palace maid of Zhaoyang Palace first and went straight to the main hall from the palace gate. She didn't know what she said to the senior palace maid on duty. The senior palace maid then turned around and talked to Zhang Yong, the imperial attendant who often accompanied the imperial chariot when walking in the inner court. Of course, he was a eunuch. Yingshu knew that Zhang Yong had the emperor's trust, and only Zhang Yong dared to go inside to announce an "unexpected incident" when His Majesty visited the Zhaoyang Palace.

Not long after, Yingshu saw His Majesty walking out of the main hall, followed by Mrs. Xie with a sullen look on her face.

"Xiao Peng, we also have to go and see the emperor off." Ying Shu took her new friend who didn't know why and went to watch the battle.
