What is more painful than having to drink medicinal food for three meals a day is having to take three classes a day.

In the morning, he followed the other princes to start their education. Not only did he read with his head shaking, but he also practiced writing.

In the afternoon, I played musical instruments and painted. In between, I had to learn etiquette and manners from the maids sent by the Queen, and I also had to learn some embroidery.

If you calculate it this way, there are six classes a day!

Ruoyue, who finally got the door unlocked, sneered, "You're lucky. The Queen has made the arrangements. In the morning, we read, write, and paint; in the afternoon, we play the piano, play chess, embroider, and behave... all the same!"

If I go back late, I will have to deal with my mother's extra teaching.

I don't need to be proficient in everything, but I want to be good at everything.

Ruoyue also told her, "My third sister and I both learned the guqin, and my eighth sister learned the konghou. What are you learning?"

Once it is determined which instrument to learn, the Queen will arrange for someone to come and teach.

Chen Jia is interested in both, but has learned enough for now.

She considered it for two days and decided on the konghou.

The days of dire straits began.

As Chen Jia gradually adapted to this state of learning, he could even feel some fun in it.

A month ago, Crown Prince Zhan was sent by the emperor to Jianglin area to thoroughly investigate the governance of local officials. He was accompanied by the imperial commissioner Guan Xuewen.

At present, they have completed the investigation of the last place and will set off back to Beijing soon.

Tonight, they rested at the post station.

The prince was wearing a simple black robe and sitting in front of a simple table with a green jade bowl at his side.

"Your Highness, this is a letter from the Ninth Prince to you."

A secret guard dressed in black appeared out of nowhere, kneeling on the ground, holding a letter in both hands.

Prince Zhan stood up slowly, took the letter and unfolded it.

As expected, this was another letter with poor wording and messy handwriting.

Thinking of that day when the girl came to him excitedly and her surprised and envious expression when she learned that he was about to go out, he felt a little better.

However, this character should be practiced well!

The prince folded the letter and casually put it into a wooden box, which already contained several letters, all written by the same person.

"Hey, Your Highness, is there something urgent?"

Guan Xuewen, sitting in the carriage, dared not say anything but get angry. He was exhausted from the long journey!

When he came, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was quite slow, but later on he became quite decisive. As he is the Crown Prince, he can understand that!

On the way back, I became a completely different person!

He wished he could rest on his horse day and night. If it weren't for his strong protest, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would probably have abandoned him and rode back alone.

Life is hard, so hard!

Guan Xuewen grimaced and pounded his aching legs and feet.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a good prince praised by everyone in the court. He is proficient in the six arts, kind and benevolent, and has all the means and strategies. The emperor has trained him very well.

The prince is a qualified crown prince!

These ministers believed it without a doubt. As long as he was not tyrannical, bloodthirsty, or licentious and was willing to listen to advice, they would be satisfied...

Prince Zhan has already far surpassed the expectations of other ministers. Guan Xuewen said that he can handle this inexplicable speed-up!

Your Highness, I am willing to sacrifice my old bones for you!

The inspection schedule was originally scheduled for three months, but the prince traveled day and night and actually returned before the winter hunt.

On the day the prince returned to the palace, he and the emperor stayed in the imperial study for a long time, and no one knew what they talked about.

All I know is that the winter hunt was held as usual, and that the court meeting was held before the winter hunt.

The emperor was furious and threw out a lot of ironclad evidence, leaving the corrupt officials with no way to refute. He did not listen to any excuses and promptly sentenced them to beheading and confiscating their property.

The number of officials involved this time was staggering, and the gold, silver and treasures seized from the homes of these officials were piled up like a mountain, comparable to the national treasury.

The emperor's heart became even colder and harder.

There was no way to escape the punishment of nine generations of the clan, including the mother of the tenth prince, and the family was deeply involved.

The emperor showed no mercy and gave her a white silk to save her dignity.

The childless concubines in the palace looked at the Tenth Prince with fiery eyes.

Unfortunately, the emperor didn't care at all whether they had children or not, and he had the tenth prince taken to the queen to be raised by her.

It must be said that the emperor is a scumbag.

But he is a qualified king and will not touch the bottom line of the queen or the interests of the prince.

These are the foundations of the country. If you shake the prince, you will shake the foundations of the country.

The emperor was growing old, but he was not confused and his mind was clear.

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince wants to see you." Eunuch Changde came in and reported. The emperor was reviewing memorials and heard the words without turning his head. "Call him."

"Here"

Eunuch Changde pushed the door open and went out. He pushed the door again and it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who walked in.

"Your son wishes you the best of luck to your father."

Prince Zhan walked up to the table and bowed.

This mountain of memorials gives me a headache and is too much for my eyes to bear.

The emperor simply put down his pen and looked at the crown prince Zhan beside him inquiringly, "You don't come to the temple for no reason. Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Father, do you still remember what you said on my birthday last year?"

Prince Zhan's words evoked the emperor's memories. At that time, there was an urgent shortage of food and fodder, and everyone in and outside the court had to set an example and be frugal.

Not only were the Emperor and Empress' birthdays celebrated in a simple manner, but the Crown Prince's birthday was also celebrated in a simple manner. For them, each birthday was a first in their lives.

But the prince not only did not take it to heart, he also took the lead in donating his private treasury and donated it all!

Afterwards, the queen also donated all her savings, and everyone in the harem did the same. Finally, the required military funds were raised, laying a solid foundation for this victory.

With Wu Juguo's tribute and the proceeds from the confiscation of property, both the national treasury and the emperor's personal treasury were extremely full.

This made the emperor forget about it.

"Let Changde take you there." This means that the prince can choose.

The emperor always kept his word and never gave anyone a chance to criticize him.

The prince has clear principles and never takes advantage of his favor to become arrogant.

When passing by the national treasury, the prince did not stop. His goal was clear: he was heading for the emperor's private treasury.

The emperor did not specify which warehouse it was, which means that he tacitly allowed the prince to enter both warehouses at will.

But the prince knew that the national treasury could not be touched, but he could make a lot of money from the private treasury.

Eunuch Changde opened the door of his private storehouse. The huge palace was filled with treasures. The treasures on the shelves glowed brightly, and boxes of all sizes were piled on the ground.

The emperor never thought that he would become so rich one day!

The prince was neither pretentious nor polite.

I carefully looked at the items displayed on the shelves one by one.

A folding screen with kingfisher feathers and colorful butterflies playing with flowers, a golden crown with lotus flowers, a dagger inlaid with gems, a red jade and coral tree, a box of pink quartz jade, ten pieces of moonlight brocade... Finally, a copy of famous calligraphy was collected.

The prince withdrew his hands and led his men away.

Eunuch Changde shook his head, closed his private treasury, and reported the prince's battle achievements to the emperor.

After hearing this, the emperor laughed and said, "He is really rude!" But he did not look unhappy.
