Chapter 458 Concubine Shao Shu
Wu Youwei stood up, but still lowered his eyelids, don't look at evil!
"Master Wu, I heard that you encouraged His Royal Highness to take the two princesses out of the palace?" The Queen Mother Zhou asked angrily, "Is there such a thing?"
"Report to the Empress Dowager, no." Wu Youwei directly denied it.
"Nonsense!" A female voice said in a high-pitched tone: "You were the one who took them out? A majestic princess, how decent is it to go out to play in the palace?"
Before Wu Youwei could refute, Empress Dowager Zhou spoke up.
"Bold!" Empress Dowager Zhou scolded: "What are you? How dare you criticize the princess? Come on, open your mouth!"
Then he heard two crisp "pop" sounds.
The atmosphere in the hall was condensed, and everyone fell silent.
"Master of Zuochunfang University, Maid Wu." Emperor Xianzong said indifferently: "It is the lecturer of the East Palace who I personally selected to be responsible for educating the prince. Teacher, anyone, without evidence, has no right to accuse him." Xian
Emperor Zong's words were too serious, and Wu Youwei felt that he was not that good.
In fact, Wu Youwei underestimated himself.
Because there are not only the emperor and the queen mother, but also the concubine Wan Gui.
Who is Wan Zhen'er?
That was the heart and soul of Emperor Xianzong.
In his mind, even his own mother, the Empress Dowager Zhou, was ranked behind Wan Zhen'er.
This matter concerns Wan Zhen'er's two daughters and one son, how could Wan Zhen'er not be present?
Years of being an imperial concubine gave Wan Zhen'er a touch of nobility. Coupled with the fact that she was well maintained all year round, Wan Zhen'er became more and more popular with Emperor Xianzong.
However, Concubine Shao Shu's actions made Concubine Wan Gui very dissatisfied.
Wan Zhen'er just sat there with a sullen face, not saying a word, only looking at Emperor Xianzong.
She didn't even watch the Empress Dowager Zhou.
How could Emperor Xianzong not protect her?
If he wanted to protect Wan Zhen'er, he had to protect the prince, the princesses who left the palace privately, and even more so, the only adult, Wu Youwei.
Moreover, he knew about Wu Youwei's relationship with Wantong, so he had to protect him even more.
What's more, Wu Youwei's masters who appear and disappear, can Emperor Xianzong not favor him.
That's why Emperor Xianzong lifted Wu Youwei high. He is the emperor, so it's not easy for him to lift anyone up.
"The concubine knows that she is wrong, please forgive me!" Concubine Shao Shu is a model of resilience. If she is not smart, she will not be selected by the guarding eunuch in Hangzhou to teach her poetry, etiquette and music, and send her to the palace to participate in the draft. .
"Okay, okay, you stand aside." The Empress Dowager Zhou had no choice but to come out to smooth things over, pointing to the corner next to her, and asked Concubine Shao Shu to stand there, far away, so as not to talk too much.
The person her son is holding, even her mother can't say too heavy a word.
Concubine Shao Shu went over to stand aggrieved, and the other concubines felt relieved when they saw it. After all, they were all of high birth, and she, the adopted daughter of the guarding eunuch, won the favor of the emperor and even got the title of concubine "Shu".
What is "shu"?
Gentle and quiet, Jiazi Yifan, Yi Pei dotes on Lun, so she is named "Shu Concubine"!
Everyone's ladylike, Xiaojiabiyu, can't be more virtuous than an adopted daughter who guards the eunuch?
In addition, Concubine Shu has another son, so it's no wonder that the women in the harem find her pleasing to the eye!
After dealing with Concubine Shao Shu who spoke indiscriminately, the Empress Dowager Zhou asked Wu Youwei: "You said no, then why did Ai's family hear that you took them out?"
"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, do you know, who did you listen to?" Wu Youwei explained without waiting for the Queen Mother Zhou to answer: "The academic schedule for His Highness the Crown Prince is set by the minister. At that time, His Highness and his servants consulted together and got the permission of the emperor before starting to teach His Highness. There is a fixed number of courses every day, and there is a practical class among them, have you heard of it?"
When it comes to learning, the Empress Dowager Zhou is stuck.
"That's right, I've seen the schedule, and the practical class is pretty good." When Wu Youwei mentioned the practical class, Emperor Xianzong thought of the benefits of this course and was very satisfied: "The emperor will take over the world in the future. , You can’t be ignorant of the sufferings of the people. Come, give me a seat!”
Wu Youwei didn't expect that he didn't have to stand up to answer the question. That's great. Who wants to stand when he can sit?
So he thanked his seat, sat down, and continued: "Yes, your majesty, the crown prince is the prince. He must know the sufferings of the people, let alone neglect his duties. If others neglect their duties, there is still the possibility of redress. If the prince in the future He has neglected his duties, and the Ming Dynasty, who can redeem it?" He tried his best to get closer to the righteousness: "As the prince of a country, he must not only learn the knowledge in books, but also practice it, otherwise it will be just talking about it and harming the country."
As for the practical class, Wu Youwei wanted the little prince to know what the outside world looked like at the beginning, instead of cultivating a novice like Emperor Hui of Jin.
It's too embarrassing for the time traveler.
That's why he designated practical courses at that time, and they were essential.
Children need to be taught well, and they will understand things when they grow up. Fooling the children of ordinary people can also be said to delay the family. If they fool the crown prince, it will delay an era.
This is how Wu Youwei talked to parents in modern times. Have you never seen such a vile child?
To tell the truth, the little prince is not very bearish, he usually puts on a show, and occasionally he is so bearish once or twice, it is also a child's heart.
But the little prince is really good at teaching, and he is becoming more and more like a prince, he has learned a lot, and he is also very concerned about people's livelihood.
Wu Youwei talked a lot, and with Emperor Xianzong talking to him, the monarch and his ministers came and went, talking a lot about the little prince's education work.
Including chemistry experiments, physics experiments, and growing vegetables.
Wu Youwei even wanted to take the little prince to Jingshan to dig wild vegetables one day.
The little prince has eaten wild vegetables, and there are regular wild vegetables in the palace, but he certainly has not dug them himself.
The monarch and his ministers chatted very happily. Emperor Xianzong even laughed out loud from time to time, and the little prince and two princesses sitting next to him also laughed from time to time.
The Empress Dowager Zhou was also happy when she heard the embarrassing things about the little prince when he was in school.
Wan Zhen'er was still sitting there quietly, and now her complexion is much better.
The others couldn't say anything, so they could only keep echoing or laughing along, the atmosphere was very warm.
Only Concubine Shao Shu was holding her handkerchief tightly with her slender fingers, because everyone else was sitting, but she was the only one standing!
The masters in this palace are all sitting, even Wu Youwei has a small embroidered pier to sit on, the eunuchs or palace maids standing, and only Concubine Shao Shu is also standing, which is embarrassing.
But just now she was too impatient to speak up and was personally reprimanded by the emperor, but now she dare not continue to provoke trouble.
Before entering the palace, the adoptive father said that the rules in the palace are strict, but no matter how big the rules are, they are not as good as a word from the emperor.
As long as there is grace, it is more important than anything else.
Even if you are just a little beauty, no one will dare to disrespect you.
After talking for a long time, the atmosphere became better and better. At the end, she didn't know what to say, which made the Queen Mother sigh with emotion: "Scholar Wu is right. To be an emperor, you can only be a wise emperor if you practice it. His father, the emperor, Where did he fall and where did he get up, what happened back then made the first emperor a wise king for half his life."
In the first half of his life, he was a faint king, and was controlled by a Wang Zhen, which also caused the instability of the Ming Dynasty.
But it is impossible for her to say that the late emperor was wrong.
Everyone is gone, who can comment on the merits and demerits?
"The emperor's son suffered a lot when he was a child because of his father's relationship, thanks to the presence of Zhen'er back then." The Queen Mother Zhou held Wan Zhen'er's hand: "Zhen'er protected him so that he could survive until the restoration of the late emperor. .”
The old people like to talk about the past, and the Queen Mother Zhou is getting old again, so she can't stop talking about it.
The women in the harem are all human beings, one by one, they advised the queen mother to take care of her body and avoid hurting her heart, since Qingfu is yet to come.
The little prince and the two princesses were apprehensive at first, but now they let go. In order to change the subject, the two princesses even shared what they had seen and heard when they went out.
It doesn't matter if you don't say anything, when you say "Concubine Shao Shu's younger brother claims to be the uncle of the country", everyone's expressions brighten.
At this moment, because the queen was not there, she was grounded in Kunning Palace by Emperor Xianzong.
Otherwise, she is the one who should be angry the most.
But others are just looking forward to the show.
Concubine Shao Shu was anxious and her face turned pale. She knew that the palace people were being liquidated in the princess mansion, because she was the adopted daughter of the guarding eunuch. It was only after careful planning that she was chosen as Concubine Shao Shu.
And she is also the umbrella of those people.
After gaining favor and giving birth to the prince, she was able to stand firm.
Especially after Queen Wang was "grounded" in Kunning Palace, Concubine Wan Gui didn't care about anything, she was equivalent to mastering the power of the harem.
It's just that this great power was bought with the liquidation of the eunuchs and maids in the princess mansion outside. At this time, many people took money to make connections and entrusted favors to her.
This made Concubine Shao Shu happy, but at the same time her heart grew bigger...
Especially when someone sent her a letter saying that her younger brother was arrested and taken into the clan's mansion, she became anxious. She didn't ask what the reason was, but only knew that it was His Royal Highness who brought the two princesses out of the palace and met her Brother, and then her brother was arrested and taken to the clan mansion.
Concubine Shao Shu thought of one thing at that time, that Concubine Wan Gui finally couldn't bear it anymore!
Which concubine doesn't want to be in charge of Fengyin?
But with the queen here, no one can surpass her. She is the rightful queen of the palace.
Now she has just been angered by Emperor Xianzong and grounded, which is a great opportunity for them.
The day before yesterday, Concubine Shao Shu was still thinking about how to take over the management of the harem, but Emperor Xianzong came to tell her to let her take care of the harem temporarily.
She thought it was Emperor Xianzong who valued her, so of course she accepted it with full confidence.
Today I found that I have something to do, and seeing Concubine Wan Gui's unhappy appearance, Concubine Wan Gui must also want to take over the seal of the phoenix, right?
So Concubine Shao Shu thought too much, and now that she heard it, there was such a thing?Immediately, he threw himself down in front of Emperor Xianzong: "My lord, my concubine was wronged, and my concubine's younger brother is just a young scholar, how could he say such a thing?" As he spoke, he glanced at Concubine Wan Gui who was lowering his eyebrows: "I'm afraid there are some people who don't like my concubine and try to frame her concubine! The concubine's family has been in Beijing for several years and has never caused any trouble. Why did something happen when the concubine took over the palace affairs?"
"Pretending to be the uncle of the country" can't be admitted to death!
Besides, people from the Eastern Palace were present at the time, who knows if Concubine Wan Gui ordered someone to frame her younger brother?
Concubine Shao Shu boldly raised her face so that Emperor Xianzong could see her tearful face, and the faint pleading and sorrow in her eyes.
She knows how to seduce a man.
Otherwise, how could she hook up with the emperor among so many beautiful girls?Back then, her adoptive father had hired eight out-of-date oiran ladies to teach her.
But she didn't know that Emperor Xianzong hated not to distinguish between public and private in business.
He prefers that tune, because there is no such thing in the palace, and the women selected are either ladies from great families or jade from a small family, and it is impossible for women to have the style of brothels and Chu houses.
So Emperor Xianzong has been very fresh for a while, but that's it.
How many women did Emperor Xianzong meet?
What kind of beauty is there?
Concubine Shao Shu was specially selected by him to be favored by others. He had to choose between the eunuch's adopted daughter and the palace lady's background. No, everyone chose the palace lady.
"You mean, my crown prince and eldest princess, the fifth princess is lying?" Emperor Xianzong looked at Concubine Shao Shu who was kneeling in front of him indifferently: "My imperial concubine Tanhualang, the hand-picked scholar of Zuochunfang; There is Wanzhuang, the headquarter of Jinyiwei, all risking the crime of deceiving the emperor and lying together?"
If that's the case, he has failed too much as an emperor.
As for Wan Zhen'er, her complexion didn't change a bit. She knew better than anyone else what kind of woman the emperor hated the most.
