Princess Consort Raising Children

Chapter 19 Growing up, awkward, red bean porridge

Wen Yu fell into a deep sleep.When I woke up, my mind was blank for a long time, and my whole body seemed to be falling apart.

Beside him was a milk doll crawling around and a white fox.

San'er was very obedient, with her eyes wide open and her mouth grinning, she called Wen Yu, then lay on the bed and opened her arms to be hugged by him.

It took Wen Yu a lot of strength to sit up. The only feeling was that starting from the waist, the bottom was useless.But when I saw San'er early in the morning, my heart was still sweet. Just as I reached out to hug the child, San'er was carried away by another pair of big hands.

The princess looked up and saw that it was the son-in-law.Then all at once every detail of the previous night came back.

Wen Yu's face was completely red, although she pretended to be quite calm, she looked at San'er, who was beating the general in Yan Wang's hand, and asked, "Has he eaten anything?"

Yan Wang was sitting by the bed, teasing the child: "I just had lunch, I couldn't find you, and I've been restless, so I'll be safe when I carry you to the bed."

"En..." Wen Yu's voice was hoarse last night, and now it is dry and astringent. "Go and get busy, San'er, I'll come and see."

Yan Wang didn't leave, he carried Yan Jue back to the cradle, brought him warm water and food.

The princess was already hiding under the quilt with her back turned to him.

"What's the matter... Where's the discomfort?" Yan Wang was worried and wanted to poach someone inside.

"..." Wen Yu ignored him and hid under the blanket.

Yan Wang tried a few times, but seeing that Wen Yu ignored him, after thinking about it, he probably knew that Wen Yu was being embarrassed.

"Is it possible that the princess is planning to hide in it for a lifetime?"

Wen Yu ignored him.

"Who said that I was drunk last night and you took the wrong medicine?" Yan Wang smiled.

Wen Yu still ignored him.

"Come out to eat, or when Jue'er grows up, I'll tell him all the stupid things you did..."

Wen Yu moved a little.

"Or you come out and I tell you why I didn't respond to that medicine?"

Wen Yu finally turned around, showing a slightly red face.Hoarse: "Why?"

"Drink some water first." Yan Wang brought him the water, and Wen Yu drank it obediently, in a hurry, coughing until he choked.Yan Wang shook his head, hugged him over and slid behind his back to help calm him down.

"A few years ago, when I was fighting outside the customs, I passed by a small tribe. At that time, my troops rescued the chief of the tribe by accident. As a thank you, they gave me a fruit. I can't do it, but ordinary little tricks can't hurt me..."

"..." Wen Yu still felt uncomfortable after hearing this.So I struggled to get rid of it, but was hugged tightly.

The son-in-law whispered in his ear deliberately: "Last night, the red candle burned until dawn..."

"..." Wen Yu didn't move, and stopped coughing.

"And you forgot something."

Yan Wang took out something from his arms, let go and hung it around Wen Yu's neck.

It was the jade pendant that I took off when I took a bath last night.

Wen Yu raised his hand to touch it, it was still warm.

"Have you ever been bitten by a winter melon?"

"No, they dare not bite me... hiss... why are you..."

Yan Wang was grabbing Wen Yu's arm and biting down, quite forcefully.

"If you don't like it...just think it was bitten by me last night, or I'll bite you back?" Yan Wang opened his sleeves and put his arm to Wen Yu's mouth.

Wen Yu Mingming laughed, amused: "What are you doing biting, can you fill your stomach..." She looked so brainy and shy, very cute.

Yan Wang suppressed a smile, and quickly brought something hot.

Wen Yu took a look.His face, which had finally faded away, turned red again.

That is clearly a bowl of red bean porridge...

Yan Jue is nine months old.

I don't remember when it started, the little guy started to stand up by himself, and he crawled very fast, the little Bodhisattva could no longer fit in the old cradle.

Yan Wang had no choice but to ask someone to spread thick plush blankets in Wen Yu's bedroom, so that it would be safer for Yan Jue to crawl around on the ground.After the blanket was laid, the three cats were very happy.Everyone happily ran around the house, occasionally got into a fight, occasionally teased Yan Jue, and occasionally dropped Wen Yu's things everywhere.

Wen Yu is also happy to be at leisure, the child is older, and there are much fewer things for him to worry about every day.Xiaowangwang and San'er have the best relationship, one person and one fox always stay together, sometimes Wen Yu goes out and can't find the child, so she calls the white fox out, and the child just crawls behind the fox. Out……

Wen Yu was still a little scared about San'er's serious illness.I'm afraid that the child's life will be saved, but the burn will be stupid.

Fortunately, San'er is quite clever.He can laugh and make trouble, every time he calls his name, he will still smile silly at you, drooling everywhere, and the first baby tooth on the lower gum also pops out... Now when you grin, that one The little milky white is very attractive.

Fast forward to July.

There was also a lot of movement in the court.

The emperor's new imperial examinations have been released for more than three months since the provincial examinations began in March this year, and preparations for the courtyard examinations are also sound.

Situ Qi had no sense of panic.So he took the throne for several years without thinking about the imperial examination.It's just that in these years, the number of imperial envoys who were executed by him and ransacked their homes and exiled is too numerous to count.Then he found that Wei Yi's work was getting harder and harder. After asking, it turned out that some officials who were originally corrupt but still did some facts were investigated and prosecuted.Wei Yi also has no one under his command.

So the emperor regretted not thinking of this earlier.He was very annoyed by those boring stereotyped essays, but he had been arguing for a long time in the court, and he half thought that the recommendation system could be considered, that is, the imperial envoys recommended juniors who thought they had both ability and political integrity to be officials, which was faster and less troublesome.The other half argue that the recommendation system is easy for officials to interact with each other, and it is too watery.

Situ Qi listened to the courtiers quarreling for three days, made a decision, and asked Qin Gong, the imperial historian who strongly recommended the recommendation system, to preside over the imperial examination. Anyway, the imperial historian was in charge of supervision and paperwork on weekdays, and half of the emperor's study The sour memorials are all written by Doctor Yushi and his disciples.

Situ Qi was already used to not playing cards according to common sense, Qin Gong only said that he had been placed in the same position by the emperor, and he could only happily take over the job and go to Zhang Luowen's imperial examination.

However, the imperial examinations of martial arts have been handed over to Yan Wang to preside over them, but the preparations for the court examinations are all ready, and Taiwei Wei Zhongxian returns to the court after three years of mourning at home.He took over the work of Yan Wang in an all-round way.

The prime minister, Taiwei and Doctor Yushi are among the three princes in the court.The prime minister is in charge of the official position, the Taiwei is in charge of the military, and the censor is in charge of civil affairs and supervision. They are the most powerful people besides the emperor.However, the situation of mutual restraint of the three pillars has never been formed.

Although Prime Minister Weiyi holds a lot of power, he has always been a low-key and cautious person. It is rare to see him quarrel with anyone in the court. He mostly listens quietly to the arguments of other courtiers, and finally helps the emperor to summarize the key points of the debate. Let Situ Qi make up his mind.The Taiwei Wei Zhongxian went home to serve mourning shortly after Situ Qi ascended the throne. Yan Wang was called back to the capital by Situ Qi from the frontier for the position of Taiwei. Now the Taiwei regained the military power of the country and was reinstated The Taiwei's recent movement is also very big.

In short, the first thing the Taiwei did after he came back was to take away all the authority of Yan Wang.

Situ Qi was very happy to see this situation.He wasn't very familiar with the Taiwei, and he didn't like Yan Wang anyway, so he happily watched how the two men fought.

On the contrary, Yan Wang's attitude disappointed him. This man was emptied of power, so he went to the school to train soldiers all day long, and occasionally accompanied the emperor to hunt, and then he had nothing else to do, so he didn't even need to write memorials.The emperor sent someone to the general's mansion to watch for a long time, and then he heard that Yan Wang went home all day and Princess Wen Yu took care of Princess He'an.When they are free, the family goes out for a walk in the General's Mansion in the evening. During holidays, the whole family even travels, visiting the vicinity of the capital.

After hearing this, Situ Qi felt unbalanced again.

Wei Yi was looking at the brochure at that time, and he had already thought of several sets of questions for the court exam to be selected. Qin Gong handed it over to the emperor to make the final decision, but the emperor casually threw it to Wei Yi: "I hate stereotypes the most, you Just look at the choice."

So Wei Yi had been contemplating for a long time, thinking about Situ Qi's preferences and Qin Gong's intentions in choosing topics, and after thinking about it for two full hours, he finally picked up his pen and drew Zhu Zhu on several topics.

Slightly relieved.Just about to move his neck to loosen his muscles and bones, he saw a person not far from him staring at him in a daze with one hand resting on his chin...

"..." Situ Qi often did this, and Wei Yi didn't dare to move, and lowered his head to continue reading the next document.

"How about the Prime Minister accompany me for a walk in the suburbs tomorrow?"

"But what kind of festival?" Wei Yi thought about it for a long time, but he didn't know why the emperor suddenly came to Yaxing.The last time this person left the palace was obviously when Qingming offered sacrifices to the imperial mausoleum.Situ Qi's life is quite boring.Every day, I just watch the people quarreling in the court, and then I read the booklets in the study to meet the ministers. When I am in a good mood, I go to Wei to play chess and read the booklets together.When I'm in a bad mood, I just randomly find one or two papers on the impeachment of officials and throw them to the Supervision Department to investigate...

I don't know where it came from. Leisurely mood is going to the suburbs of Beijing.

"Is it so strange that I want to go out of the palace? Look at your wrinkled face. I heard that the general and the princess often go there, so I'm curious to see what those two people are up to..." Situ Qi grabbed the butterfly cakes on the table After taking a bite, it was fragrant, sweet and refreshing.So he narrowed his eyes happily.

"Does the emperor not trust the general and the princess?" Wei Yi asked cautiously.

"I don't believe in anyone, everyone has to guard against it. But I don't know why Yan Wang, Wen Yu, and their princess don't like it..." Swallowed one and brought another to eat.Li Hecheng, who was waiting on the sidelines, guessed that the ancestors were hungry, so he went to make new tea, which was changed for the emperor and the prime minister, and also went to the imperial dining room to prepare supper.

"I don't know why the general and princess bothered His Majesty?" Wei Yi asked boldly.

Situ Qi also stared at the half-bitten butterfly cake: "I can't tell... I just think they have something that I don't have, but I don't know what it is."

"..." Wei Yi knew the answer.He squinted and saw Li and Cheng secretly aiming towards him.

These years, the emperor was not in a hurry, probably the eunuchs around him were in a hurry.But the prime minister could only sigh inaudibly, and lowered his head: "I'm stupid...can't relieve His Majesty's worries..."

Situ Qi was hungry, tired of watching memorials, and seeing Wei Yi motionless was even more boring, and he didn't want to think about this topic: "Li Hecheng. Chuan Shan, I want white jade hoof flowers, fresh milk almond tofu, emerald jade bean cake, And the almond cheese…”

"It's not good to eat too much sweets at night..."

"Okay, you've been nagging all day..."

"I know I was wrong..."

"It's good to know what's wrong, you should eat more, and take the prince with you tomorrow..."

Situ Qi himself doesn't know, he's just jealous of Yan Wang and Wen Yu... It's rare for him to take the prince out on a trip, it's more like he wants to demonstrate like the general's family - you have a daughter, I have a son, you have a princess, I have a prime minister, you have no real power right now, but I am sitting on this thousand miles of land...

Wei Yi looked at the emperor who was eating sweets like a child, and the corners of his mouth were raised all the time.

This person will start to be jealous, and maybe one day he will also want to enjoy family happiness.

What Situ Qi lacked was humanity.

I don't want to see him enjoying this boundless loneliness.He always needs someone to accompany him, be it the prince or someone else...

He can't be with him for a few years...
