The Warm Jade of the Red Chamber

Zhuang Yu promised Daiyu an outing and lake tour, but he failed to make the trip. Although it was all due to force majeure, he would have to bear the consequences of breaking his promise and gaining weight for a long, long time.

The spring was cold and the temperature turned from warm to cold. Emperor Xuankang didn't pay attention to it. After a sudden change in the weather, he caught a cold and fell ill.

After Emperor Xuankang recovered his health, he suddenly announced the throne of Zen without warning, passed the throne to the crown prince Zhuang Yang, and abdicated himself as the Supreme Emperor.

Emperor Xuankang's move was actually within the expectation of many people, but no one thought that he would so quickly and simply give up the will of the Zen position, including Zhuang Yang and Zhuang Ye, who were all surprised.

Naturally, Zhuang Yang is not stage-frightened. After decades of being a prince, he already knows very well what he needs to do as an emperor.However, he still declined for a while, before he actually took over the jade seal representing the supreme status from Emperor Xuankang, and sat on the high dragon chair.

When the new emperor came to the throne, because Emperor Xuankang was a Zen throne rather than dying, Emperor Xuankang was the master. This year, he directly changed the year name to "Chunyou".

Chunyou Emperor Zhuang Yang is 41 years old this year. From the prince to the prince, from the prince to finally ascending the throne, he has traveled a long and hard way.

When Emperor Chunyou succeeded to the throne, his gang of brothers naturally wanted to reward him generously.

Emperor Chunyou had 11 brothers, only the eldest Zhuang Yang, the third Zhuang Sheng, the fifth Zhuang Xi, the seventh Zhuang Shu, the ninth Zhuang Xi, and the youngest eleven Zhuang Ye. 【Note 1】Because of the previous relationship with Concubine Wade, the lineage of the old Qi Zhuangshu is considered abolished.

Therefore, Emperor Chunyou only had four younger brothers who needed to be conferred or promoted.The third child Zhuang Sheng was conferred the title of Prince Zhongshan, the fifth child Zhuang Xi was conferred the title of Prince Zhongmin, the ninth child Zhuang Xi was conferred the title of Prince Zhongshun, and the eleventh child Zhuang Ye was conferred the title Prince Chengke.

For Emperor Chunyou's move, Emperor Xuankang, the Supreme Emperor, was also very pleased. His son was still extremely generous.

The transfer of power between the two emperors appeared to be very calm and stable on the surface, but the undercurrents under the current situation must not be ignored.

In such a sensitive period, Zhuang Ye and Qiu Qingyu would never agree with Zhuang Yu and Daiyu to go outside the city for an outing or swim in the lake.Fortunately, the construction of the "Yuelan Court" for Daiyu to study has been completed, and the matter of little Daiyu's study can be put on the agenda and arranged.

With the succession of Emperor Chunyou, Zhuang Ye's title changed from a county king to a prince, and he was entrusted with an important task by Emperor Chunyou to lead the three armies, and served as the first-rank Grand Marshal of Dingguo. The largest force in the world.

Under such circumstances, no one would be foolish enough to refuse an invitation post from Princess Chengke to send her daughter to study in the palace.

In a few days, as the female gentlemen arrived one by one, several girls carefully selected by Qiu Qingyu also gathered in the Prince's Mansion on the same day.

Qiu Qingyu found a total of five little girls, the oldest was no more than seven years old, and they were all about the same age as Daiyu, as if they were innocent and lively.

The biggest one is Feng Zilan, the daughter of Shenwu General Feng Tang. Very heroic.

She is only three months younger than Feng Zilan, but one year younger in terms of age. She is the second daughter of Yu Maozhou, the left servant of the household department. Her name is Yu Fangqing. She has a cold temper and doesn't like to talk much.

In addition, Wen Kangxiu, the granddaughter of the university scholar Wen Zhongxian, is six years old this year. She is the only girl in the family.

Shui Rong's younger sister, Shui Xi, was also six years old, and was named princess by Emperor Chunyou.Her personality is a bit withdrawn, which is probably related to the loss of her father when she was young.Shui Xi is born of the side concubine. Since the former King of Beijing passed away last year, Shui Rong, who was only 11 years old at the time, inherited the title of county king, and Princess Beijing became a concubine. , living an almost isolated life.Although Shui Xi is Shui Rong's only younger sister, the two are not close because of their respective biological mothers. Therefore, although Li Shi and Shui Xi have not been treated badly, their status is not as high as it used to be.Sudden changes, the little girl's disposition inevitably undergoes some changes.

Shi Xiangyun, the youngest, is several months younger than Daiyu.Both of her parents died, she now lives with her two uncles, and most of the time she lives in her second uncle Shi Nai's house.But her third uncle, Shi Ding, is Zhuang Ye's capable subordinate. Hearing that Prince Chengke's mansion wanted to find someone for the concubine to study with him, he licked his face and begged Zhuang Ye, and recommended Shi Xiangyun to come in.Although Shi Ding is a rough man, he still cares about the only daughter left behind by his elder brother.Shi Xiangyun lost both her father and mother since she was a child, and it would be hard for her to marry in the future. Shi Ding thought that if she could be sent to the palace to be taught by some female gentlemen, it would be easier to talk about marriage in the future.Besides, those who can accompany the prince and concubine to study are not of low status. If Shi Xiangyun can make friends with them, study with them and grow up together, this kind of friendship is extraordinary, and it will benefit her a lot in the future .

Daiyu was very happy to meet five girls with their own characteristics. She, who already liked reading very much, became more and more interested.

Qiu Qingyu chose these five playmates for Daiyu, but there was no standard, and it could even be said that each had its own characteristics, and some could even be regarded as shortcomings, for example, Feng Zilan was impulsive, Yu Fangqing was arrogant, Wen Kangxiu was ignorant, Shui Xi is withdrawn, Shi Xiangyun is bold, and the five are different from each other.Qiu Qingyu doesn't want Daiyu to contact the same people. She will be the crown prince or even the princess in the future. The people she wants to contact cannot be sincere and kind, and may even be because of Zhuang Yu's identity. It is necessary to face some open and hidden arrows.Therefore, Qiu Qingyu didn't want to teach Daiyu to be a dodder flower that couldn't stand the wind and rain.The girls who come out of this mansion, even if they are young, are not simple characters. Their existence allows Daiyu to gradually understand the differences in human hearts and human nature in this world. It's okay - after all, in Prince Chengke's mansion, these little girls were all told by their family members, even if they were a little cautious, they didn't dare to make big moves.

Girls study, but they don't do stereotyped essays to catch up with the science exams, and the female gentlemen teach them quite casually.Qiu Qingyu also took a lot of effort to find these female gentlemen. Although they are female, some of their talents and learning are not even as good as those of Jinshi and Juzi, and because they don't have to use their knowledge and knowledge to take the imperial examination. Framed within the framework of stereotyped essays, their thinking is broader and unconstrained. The lectures to Daiyu and the others are quite casual, involving a wide range of things, and the little girls are never taught to read by rote. , and I prefer to give lectures to girls by quoting from many sources and citing scriptures, which makes people feel very interesting and not boring.

In this way, even Feng Zilan, who doesn't like reading the most, can patiently listen to the class for half an hour, not to mention Daiyu, who is very smart and loves reading. Remember and draw inferences from one instance, so that several gentlemen love her very much.

And the only one who can compete with Daiyu is Yu Fangqing.However, Yu Fangqing felt that she was two years older than Daiyu, but she could only be as close as she was, so she felt a little dissatisfied.Therefore, it is quite hard for the waiter to study harder and harder.

Wen Kangxiu is not stupid, but her mind is more on snacks and tea, and she is very careless about reading. The so-called studies are just passing by.

Shui Xi, on the other hand, was only inferior to Daiyu in terms of status, but she seemed to be the one who knew what she needed best.In terms of reading comprehension, Shui Xi's performance can only be regarded as mediocre.But in learning rules, etiquette, female celebrities, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, she has put all her heart into it.

As for Shi Xiangyun, because he is the youngest, he has been taken care of by other people. Even Daiyu finally met someone younger than himself, and he sympathized with her having no father or mother, so he took good care of her.Therefore, among the few little girls, Shi Xiangyun lived the most comfortable life, laughing and laughing heartlessly all day long.

Although the quality of these female students varies from good to bad, the female gentlemen will not show dislike towards them, after all, their identities are different.

The days passed quietly. During the day, Daiyu studied with the little girls for two and a half hours, and played together for half an hour. When the little girls returned home, she would follow Qiu Qingyu in and out. Chirp chattered happily like a little sparrow.Qiu Qingyu was very pleased to see her like this, a little baby should be full of vigor, why suppress her lively nature for some etiquette and rules?

On the contrary, Zhuang Yu was a little sad, his Dai'er was ignoring him more and more now.But seeing Daiyu becoming more cheerful and cheerful, Zhuang Yu had no choice but to admit it, thinking how long would it take for him to become the most important person in Daiyu's heart?He is now not only inferior to his mother's concubine's influence on Daiyu, but also competing with a group of little girls for Daiyu's attention, really, no one is more pitiful than him.

However, maybe God is still on Zhuang Yu's side, and soon he will have the opportunity to get along with Daiyu day and night.

After Emperor Chunyou came to the throne, he brought people to Chunxi for the first time. Zhuang Ye was responsible for the safety of the paddock and planned to protect Emperor Chunyou personally, so he naturally wanted to go with him.Originally, he wanted to take Zhuang Yu with him, but the Supreme Emperor was too old to go to Chunxi, and felt lonely in the palace alone, so he simply summoned his two favorite grandsons to accompany him, and missed the time when Zhuang Ye and Qiu Qingyu's childhood jokes amused him so much that he simply called Daiyu into the palace, thinking that maybe he could continue to watch the jokes about his grandson and grandson-in-law.

Qiu Qingyu entrusted the queen to look after Zhuang Yu and Daiyu on her behalf, while she followed Zhuang Ye to the paddock.
