The identity of the direct son - Xu I's prosperous world

On the Qixi Festival, there is no curfew in the capital, and people can come and go to have fun at their own discretion.

Because the emperor and empress live in Henglan Palace all year round, the palace in the capital is very deserted.

On Qixi Festival, the emperor did not return to the palace, nor did he call several concubines to Henglan Palace, but sent eunuchs to deliver some items and greet them, that's all.

The emperor lived in Henglan Palace permanently, and the early court and officials moved there, so the surrounding area of ​​Henglan Palace became prosperous.

The tower of Henglan Palace is no different from the imperial palace, and the moat was also dug out using the same rules.

Although Qixi Festival is an important festival for unmarried men and women, the emperor also wanted to take his queen to have a good time.

He originally wanted to hang up colorful lanterns around the Henglan Palace with great fanfare, and then let the painting boats be arranged, and the Lefang Division even rehearsed new songs and dances, but Ji Heng's words made him give up all these.

Ji Heng said, "Compared to tossing about in the palace, we might as well go out of the palace and have a look."

The emperor immediately agreed with both hands and feet in his heart, but with a calm and gentle smile on his face, he said, "It's good if we can go for a walk outside with Qingqing."

It turned out that the day of Qixi Festival really came...

Because the court does not have a holiday on Qixi Festival, the emperor had to go to the early court with his empress early in the morning, and then deal with political affairs. After driving away all the courtiers, I went back to Lan Zhilou by myself, thinking that I could go out with Ji Heng at night, old couples also need romance.

did not expect……

As soon as he entered the building, his baby son, Yang Shenger, ran towards him. When Yang Shenger was about to salute him, he immediately picked up his son. Yang Shenger was very heavy, and only he could carry him. Ji Heng couldn't hold him anymore.

Yang Sheng'er is seven years old, and she is a cute and beautiful little fat man.

In the royal family, the prince is seven years old and is still being carried around by the emperor. Except for Yang Sheng'er, there really is no one else.

Yang Sheng'er whispered in the emperor's arms, "Father, Father said to take us out to play at night, and told us to be obedient."

The emperor was stunned for a moment, "Father said it?" He wondered if it wasn't a two-person world, and he had to bring three sons with him?

Yang Sheng'er nodded, "Father said it, he said it when we came back from get out of class, and he even prepared clothes for us to go out."

The emperor felt a little sad, but he couldn't say anything, so he said, "Be obedient, don't make trouble when you go out, there are many people outside."

The emperor put his youngest son down and went to Ji Heng. Ji Heng was spot-checking the homework of Yang Qier and Yang Xiner. Both of them were smart kids. The teacher and Ji Heng were very strict, so both of them did well in their studies. Ji Heng was relatively satisfied.

After the emperor entered, the two children saluted the emperor immediately, "My son greets father and emperor."

The emperor told them not to be too polite, and then sat next to Ji Heng, and said, "Junqing, have things been arranged?"

Ji Heng nodded his head and said, "Okay. Let's go after dinner."

When Ji Heng said this, Yang Xin'er's eyes were filled with joy, while Yang Qi'er had a bitter face, and said to Ji Heng, "Father, let me go too."

Ji Heng said, "You are the crown prince, you should guard the court."

Yang Qi'er's expression was even more pitiful, and Ji Heng comforted him, "You will go next time, and your younger brothers won't go, that's fine."

Yang Qier had no choice but to nod.

The emperor taught him a lesson, "I'm already 12 years old, and I will make you a concubine in two years. You will move to the East Palace. Look at you, you still look like a child. You don't look like a prince."

Yang Qi'er was told by the emperor that he stood there without daring to make a sound, but Yang Xin'er saw how pitiful his elder brother was, so he said, "The Tai Tuo said, for a king, one must be considerate of the people's feelings. My elder brother also has a heart to go out and see the lives of the people. Please don't be angry, father."

The emperor laughed, and Yang Qi'er remained silent, saying that he should have followed his brother's words and hit the snake with the stick.

Seeing that the quarrel was so stiff, Ji Heng said, "Qi'er, you know what your father and I mean, but you just acted like you didn't understand when you got into a temper tantrum. In a country, there is no reason for the emperor and the prince to leave the palace at the same time."

Indeed, if something happened, there would be chaos.

Yang Qi'er knelt down and replied, "I understand."

After the emperor woke him up, he let the two sons out of the study room. After they left, Yang Xin'er said to Yang Qi'er, "Brother, what do you want, I'll buy it for you."

Yang Qi'er put her arm around his shoulder, "It's okay, I don't want anything. Besides, if I really want something, someone can sneak it into the palace and give it to me, I'm not bad at all."

Yang Xin'er said, "Oh, that's all."

The emperor said to Ji Heng in the study, "When I was as big as Qi'er, how could I be as childish as him. Twelve or thirteen years old, I still look like a child."

Ji Heng reached out and patted the emperor's hand, held his hand again, and said, "We won't die so soon, we can still teach him for many years, and we are not in a hurry. Besides, he is also a Not bad."

The emperor looked at Ji Heng and said, "That's not bad, it's not even a tenth of what you were back then."

Ji Heng said, "How can this be compared, and there is no need to compare it. When he is 16 years old, let him go to the Sixth Ministry and the cabinet as a prince to study for a while, he will know a lot, and then let him go out of the palace to go to the local government Do a few things, you will increase your knowledge, and slowly, you will get better."

The emperor sighed, "You understand me. I am not afraid that he will do bad things, but that he has no intention of governing the country and has no self-consciousness as a prince. He never thought that he would rule the world in the future."

Ji Heng knew that the emperor got the point right. Yang Qi'er didn't have the ability to govern the world, but he didn't have the consciousness to govern the world. He still hasn't realized that it is his responsibility to govern the world well.

But Ji Heng still said, "Wait a little longer, maybe he'll go for a few times among the people, and it will be fine."

"I hope so," said the emperor.

Although the emperor was angry with Yang Qi'er, when he left the palace later, he regained his good mood.

The emperor and Ji Heng went out of the palace, accompanied by dozens of guards and guards. They did not go into the capital, but only stopped the carriage by the Yongdong River in the east of the city.

The Yongdong River flows out of the capital city and connects with the East Lake. Because the emperor and empress lived in Henglan Palace, the section outside the Yongdong River city has also built streets and many houses, making it very prosperous.

Because this section is the only way for ministers to go from the capital to Henglan Palace, the road in this section is wide, paved with bluestone slabs, the streets are well-organized, and the houses look like they are in order.

Ji Heng advocated that the prince should take a closer look at the situation outside the palace, so that they can have an understanding of the lives of the people below, instead of learning some high-level empty talk.

Therefore, Yang Xin'er and Yang Sheng'er have been out of the palace many times.

There are red lanterns hanging on both sides of the street, and the street is full of people. Many residents of the city also come to the east of the city to play this night. There are three large water systems in the east of the city, and there is a lake. It is a good place to take a boat. .

Yang Sheng'er was sitting with his third brother, he looked out of the carriage with big black eyes, and kept sighing, "There are a lot of people, there are sugar sellers, hey, Father, there are fried cake sellers, and, ah, ah, ah!" , what is that, it seems delicious..."

Sitting on the side with the emperor, Ji Heng said, "Let's take a look in the car, don't eat outside food, it's bad for your stomach."

Yang Sheng'er was a little lost, but soon he was attracted by the monkey play outside, and continued to chirp.

The carriage stopped in front of a building by the Yongdong River. Liu Sheng came over and lifted the curtain of the carriage for the emperor and his family. The stools were already placed under it. The third prince got out of the carriage steadily, and then he picked up his younger brother. After that, the emperor got out of the carriage, turned around and helped Ji Heng out.

The building facing the street is three stories high, and it is beautifully built. Yang Sheng'er looks around, the plainclothes guards have separated the crowd and don't squeeze in this way. Standing there, he sees people laughing or laughing amidst the bright lights. Noisy, coming and going, there are men or women with children, there are girls wearing kilt hats who have not left the pavilion, and there are peddlers carrying burdens to sell things... The air is filled with the smell of sweat, powder and food. All kinds of smells are mixed, Yang Sheng'er didn't dislike these smells, but felt that there are many people and it's very lively outside. This is what the master said, under the rule, the politics is clear, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment.

He was proud of his father and father. When Ji Heng asked him to go over, he maintained the dignity and majesty of a prince, and walked solemnly step by step with chubby short legs. , his father saw him walking in a strange way, so he took his hand, "Did your legs go numb from sitting in the car just now?"

Yang Sheng'er was stunned for a moment and was shocked, and said in a whisper, "No."

Ji Heng said, "Oh, that's good, let's go in."

Yang Xin'er was no less moved than his younger brother, because he was three years older than Yang Sheng'er.

Trees are planted on both sides of the street, including locust tree, willow tree, poplar tree, jujube tree, saponaria tree, persimmon tree, maple tree, etc. It is midsummer, and all the trees are lush with branches and leaves, and there are drainage ditches between the trees and the houses. There are public wells in every street, and there are special personnel to guard the wells.

Yang Xin'er once went out of the palace in the daytime, and when he rode a pony through the street, the street was shaded by trees, and vendors selling cold water and fruits were peddling under the shade of the trees, and he felt very happy at that time.

Because he had just been reading Du Fu's poems a few days before that day, he knew the suffering of the troubled times, so he deeply felt the stability of the present world.

After entering the building, it turns out that there is a river behind the building, and there are already painted boats waiting there.

The emperor held Ji Heng's hand, "Are we going to swim in the river? I thought we were walking along the road."

Ji Heng said, "There are too many people on the street tonight, let's squeeze in that street, it will be unsafe and humiliate our identity, if we want to avoid crowding, the guards will drive passers-by away, it's too disturbing, so we Just take a boat trip on the river and lake.”

Sitting on the boat, Ji Heng was afraid that Yang Shenger would fall into the water too excitedly, so he asked the female officer to look after him, and Yang Xiner also volunteered to say that he would keep an eye on his younger brother, and then he and Yang Shenger ran to the bow of the boat, Yang Sheng'er was lying on the side of the boat, thinking that this one was novel and that one was also fun, what's more, someone was slowly paddling past their boat in a small boat, and then someone was sitting on the bow and grilling fish, Yang Sheng'er let out a cry Shouted, "I want to eat grilled fish too."

Yang Xiner quickly covered his mouth. The man sitting on the boat grilling fish was wearing a blue Confucian shirt. He should be an unruly scholar. The boat stopped, he stood up and smiled at Yang Sheng'er, "Young master, if you don't mind..."

He handed over a bunch of grilled fish. His boat was much shorter, and Yang Sheng'er reached out to pick it up, "I don't dislike it...Thank you, my lord..."

Yang Xin'er held him back, and said to the scholar, "My brother is too rude, please don't take it to heart."

Then Yang Sheng'er was about to be pulled away, and Yang Sheng'er was unhappy.

The scholar said, "It's just two skewers of grilled fish, nothing worth it. Four or five skewers have already been sent out."

Yang Xin'er said, "Thank you, son, for your kindness. My brother has a weak stomach and cannot eat these things."

The scholar thought it was funny, looked at Yang Xiner and said, "I don't know the name of the young master?"

Yang Xin'er said, "I dare not take it."

Pulling Yang Sheng'er into the boat, Yang Sheng'er said dissatisfiedly, "I'll just take a look, but I won't eat."

Yang Xiner said, "I don't believe you."

Yang Shenger's face was serious, and he stomped his feet, "You're going too far."

Yang Xin'er said, "Impressive prince, how decent is it to receive such alms from others?"

Yang Sheng'er said sternly, "This isn't charity. It's just that I just saw his leisurely manner. He just wants to make friends."

Yang Xin'er didn't expect him to have more reasons, so she said, "You have to listen to me."

Yang Sheng'er snorted, and ran to the other side of the ship to look out, Yang Xiner sighed and had no choice but to follow.

When the two palace guards guarding the two heard the two arguing, they were only amused in their hearts and did not dare to come forward to disturb them.

Yang Sheng'er lay down on the side of the boat, unexpectedly, he happened to meet the scholar's boat again, the other party smiled at him, and continued to grill the fish again.

Yang Sheng'er didn't ask him for food anymore, but just watched his grilling fish, and felt that it was much more beautiful than playing the qin and sheng, and he was almost drooling.

Yang Xin'er did not lie on the side of the boat, but leaned against the pillar decorated with curtains and stared at her younger brother. The scholar saw that Yang Sheng'er was very cute, and at such a young age, she was already gorgeous and beautiful, although she was chubby , but can not change the beautiful fact.He has never seen such a beautiful child, so he always wants to tease him.

The scholar asked Yang Sheng'er, "Which mansion are you from?"

The boats that can be launched on this day have all been inspected. Such a large painting boat needs a pass certificate before it can drive in the river. It is not easy to get a pass pass on this day.

There are many dignitaries and dignitaries in the capital, and there are many wealthy businessmen. There are many people who can afford such a boat, but not many can get a pass on this day.

If it is a noble family, there should be a family emblem on the boat, but there is no one on this boat, which makes people feel strange, so the scholar asked.

Yang Sheng'er wanted to chat with him, so she glanced at her brother and said, "It's from Ning Anbo's residence in Liu Zhuangyuan Hutong."

Yang Xin'er thought his nonsense was very funny, and he didn't expose it. The scholar was a little surprised, but because Ning Anbo was the son of a rebellious minister, although he was conferred a title later, he didn't have an emblem, which is in line with the facts, but, "Ning Anbo's house Ah, but I heard that Uncle Ning An is not married and has no heirs. But which relative of his family is the young master?"

Yang Shenger couldn't answer for a while, so she looked at her brother, and Yang Xiner came over and said, "It's just a friend's son."

There were guards staring at this side, and when they saw the scholar's boat approaching, they were already vigilant, but it was not easy to drive him away. Seeing that he kept chatting with the fourth prince, they had no choice but to strengthen their defenses, and did not send him away. The fourth prince took him away.

The scholar cupped his hands and said with a smile, "I'm in Yin Ji, I don't know the young master's name."

Yang Xin'er had no choice but to say, "My surname is Yang."

It's not easy to talk about your own last name.

The scholar's expression changed, "It's the surname of the country. It's rude."

Yang Sheng'er said, "I've been talking to you for so long, don't you want to grill fish?"

The scholar was amused by his serious look, "I will roast slowly, eat slowly, and I will go all the way to the East Lake."

As he said this, he had already asked his boatman to shake the boat away from Yang Xiner's boat, because Yang Xiner's boat deliberately moved very slowly, so his boat went faster, and soon it was far away. After going, Yang Xiner and Yang Shenger heard him singing, "The water in the Canglang is clear and can wash my tassels. The water in the Canglang is turbid and can wash my feet."

Yang Xin'er listened, and said, "This person is really strange. Now that the world is in order, he wants to sing this song."

Yang Sheng'er didn't understand, but just couldn't bear to let go of the fish, and felt very melancholy.

How can the food in the world be limited to those in the palace? Qingge grilled fish on the boat is a kind of enjoyment.

The emperor and Ji Heng were sitting on the window on the second floor inside the painting boat. There was a veil fluttering gently with the wind, and people were looming behind the veil.

The emperor put his arms around Ji Heng's waist and looked at the lanterns hanging on the tall buildings on both sides of the river. The lanterns were reflected in the water, creating a special mood.

In the distance, I could hear singing and human voices from other ships.

Neither of them spoke, and there was no need to speak. Ji Heng leaned against the emperor and looked out the window at the sky, the stars, the moon, and the orderly houses shrouded in thousands of lights.

The emperor kissed him on the cheek and said softly, "We have been married for more than eight years."

Ji Heng gave a "hmm" and said again, "Yes."

The boat gradually sailed into the East Lake, there were many painted boats in the East Lake, and there were quite a few people singing and dancing on the boats, but the emperor and Ji Heng's boat did not allow musicians to follow.

Yang Sheng'er was about to run to the second floor, but was stopped by Yang Xiner, "Don't disturb Father and Father. Let's play downstairs."

Yang Sheng'er had no choice but to agree, and then watched the excitement on other people's boats.

After a while, there was a flute sound upstairs, and both Yang Xin'er and Yang Sheng'er looked up at the top of their heads in surprise.

Slowly, the sound of the flute really came, the sound was very low at first, and then gradually increased, it was a song "High Mountain and Flowing Water".

Yang Sheng'er said to Yang Xin'er with a fluttering sound, "This is the high mountain and flowing water blown by the prince's brother, I know it."

Yang Xin'er said, "Understood, don't make trouble, just listen."

Ji Heng was sitting on a chair, holding a long flute in his hand and playing it. After playing for a while, he put down the flute and said, "I'm out of breath."

The emperor took the long flute from his hand with a smile, and wanted to play the next part, but he didn't expect the sound to come out empty. He was stunned for a moment and said to Ji Heng, "I forgot that I can't."

Ji Heng took it with a smile on his face, and blew the rest of it.

Ji Heng is actually talented in music, but he has never learned it himself, and he doesn't have time to practice like Yang Qinzhi. He only needs to study for a while, and he will probably be able to play the tune.

Yang Qier's music cells should still come from him.

Listening to the flute played by Ji Heng, the emperor may have mispronounced it, but he still cannot deny that he played it very well. At this moment when the moon is hanging in the sky and the boat is sailing in the middle of the lake, the sound of the flute is long and ethereal, open-minded and ethereal. , the passionate place breaks through the sky, and the low place is like a lover's whisper, which makes people feel infinitely heartfelt, and the lingering love makes the whole heart soften.

Because Huafang avoided other people's boats, it did not encounter the embarrassment of being recognized by the courtiers. The boat slowly sailed to the shore, and someone was already waiting to pick it up.

When the family went ashore, Yang Sheng'er was already dozing off. After the emperor hugged him, he said, "We're going to a restaurant for supper, and there's grilled fish to eat."

Yang Shenger immediately opened his eyes, "Really?"

The emperor said, "Is what I said true?"

Yang Sheng'er pursed her lips and smiled, and put her arms around his neck, "Father is so kind."

They really came to a restaurant on the shore, sat in the arranged box, the East Lake was outside the window, the family ate a fish feast, and then went back to the palace in high spirits.

Yang Xin'er was still living with Yang Qi'er. When he went back to the house, Yang Qi'er was still awake and was sitting under the lamp reading a book. When he saw him come back, he said, "You're back?"

Yang Xiner nodded with a smile, "Father took us to take a boat ride on the lake and eat fish."

Yang Qi'er said, "Is that so?"

Yang Xin'er said, "Naturally. There are many people on the street, and my father will only arrange it this way for safety."

Yang Qier said, "Oh."

Yang Xiner said again, "Brother, don't be sad, it's not like you won't be able to leave the palace in the future."

Yang Qi'er said, "I'm not sad. Besides, the prince was supposed to oversee the country when the emperor was on tour, and now I don't have that heavy responsibility of overseeing the country, I just guard the palace."

Yang Xiner let out an "oh" and said, "I also met a scholar named Yin Ji on the boat. This person is interesting. I don't know if he is going to be admitted to Jinshi, and I don't know if he will pass the exam. He's a good officer."
