Chapter 6 Blind Date (1)
Zhu Changwen waited until Song Lian finished speaking and returned to his seat without saying a word. Seeing his rebellious expression, Song Lian was probably sighing in his heart, "It's not advisable for a child." After a while, he began to talk about books.
On this day, I don’t know if it was to apply what I learned. Song Lian was talking about the Book of Rites, and he focused on explaining the chapters about keeping faith and prudentials. The most exciting thing is that this old master is obviously very knowledgeable. He can not only quote scriptures, but also express the contents of the Book of Rites in a realistic manner. This is really admirable.
I listened with relish for a long time, and secretly paid attention to Zhu Changwen next to me, but saw that he seemed to be a little drowsy. He looked like he didn't know where he went to "be a thief" last night.
Suddenly, Song Lian chanted in a long and comprehensive manner: "The Master said: I can't see the sage! I can't see the gentleman. The Master said: I can't see the good man! I can't see the sage! I can't see the sage. I can't see the sage. I can't see the sage when he dies, I can't see the sage when he dies, I can't see the sage when he dies, I can't see the sage when he dies, and I can't be able to tell us the future generations." After a slight pause, he said to Zhu Changwen: "Crown Prince, please tell me what the sage wants to tell us in this sentence?"
Zhu Changwen didn't pay attention to listening to Song Lian's words, so he naturally couldn't answer. He saw that his face was confused and he was immediately suffocated.
Seeing this, my heart moved and rushed to say, "Brother, did you explain this sentence to your minister yesterday? Saint Confucius wanted to say, "It is impossible for me to see a saint, but I can see a gentleman, that's enough. Saint Confucius said, "It is impossible for me to see a good man, but I can see a person as always. It is enough. It is impossible for a person to pretend to be there, but I pretend to be full, but I am poor but rich. It is difficult for such a person to have perseverance." After thinking about it, I presented the experience I learned from my daily study: "In the eyes of a saint, the saint is more saint, because his standards are higher. When Saint Confucius said this, he was actually a saint, but because the rituals and music were broken at that time, the saint was worried about the world, but he never thought that his character had met the standards of a saint."
My move was just to help Zhu Changwen. Zhu Changwen was also a smart person. He gave me a look with approval, then nodded and said, "Your brother, you are right, you really did not disappoint me to teach you yesterday."
Although Zhu Changwen and I have already sang together, the flaws are obvious. Song Lian glanced at me with a point of view and continued to talk about the book. I clearly felt that there was a little praise in his eyes.
A few days later, my father finally finished the social engagement outside, went to the palace to see me and said goodbye to me. Although I was still short of my time with my father, I was always reluctant to let it go. I said something to me for a while. After my father told me what he should give me, he suddenly patted my shoulder and said to me happily: "Changluo, my father knows that you are a good child. When I met Lord Song that day, he praised you in front of me!"
"Oh?" I smiled slightly and said, "Father, you don't have to take it too seriously. The teacher is just talking casually!"
"Hey..." The father waved his hand and said, "I don't know anyone else, but this Lord Song never praised people easily. When he taught you the Emperor, he didn't say a word of praise to him outside, but that day he said in front of many people that you are 'a quick-witted and able to understand the heart of a saint from the book'! Hey, even your Emperor's grandfather couldn't close his mouth when he heard it."
When I heard this, although it was vain, I couldn't help but feel happy and was so unhappy. My father told me to serve the emperor's grandfather and grandmother carefully, and finally I reluctantly left the palace.
I stood alone in front of the palace gate and watched my father disappear gradually. For some reason, I suddenly felt a little worried about Yanjing, my mother and Uncle Zhu Lu, and my eighteenth brother and nineteenth sister. It seemed that as soon as my father left like this, I was even further away from them.
The sad mood made me stand there motionlessly. After a while, I finally came to my senses and touched my face again. Two wet traces of unknowingly... That day, even my father didn't know that I was eleven years old.
Since that day, I have been staying in the palace. In addition to accompanying Zhu Changwen to study with Song Lian every day, my only entertainment in the palace was to read idle books, and I also chat and laugh with Zi Ruo at her residence. These days, on Zi Ruo, I have learned a lot of cloud and rain skills I learned from my master before, and Zi Ruo has become increasingly unable to live without me.
Perhaps because of my well-being and intelligence, I could see that Song Lian liked me more and more. Whenever I was teaching, although I was just accompanying me, Song Lian always said something to me, because I often had eye contact with him, which brought the love of the teacher for his disciples and my respect for him. His deep understanding of Confucian classics was even higher than that of the master.
On this day, the emperor's grandfather had a rare day of free time. I was summoned by him to his residence and the emperor's grandmother. When he was safe, he immediately happily pulled me to his side and asked, "Chang Luo, are you still used to living in the palace these days?"
I nodded respectfully and said, "Everything is good in the palace. Even the emperor treats me well. I also gave me a personal girl to serve me. I am very good to my grandson."
Actually, I didn't want to praise Zhu Changwen, but at this time, I mainly wanted to mention Zi Ruo in front of the emperor's grandfather, so as not to let Zhu Changwen catch my "lewd palace" in the future.
The emperor's grandfather has always liked harmony between his descendants and his brothers, because he often said that only when the descendants of the Zhu family live in harmony can the world be surnamed Zhu forever. It is precisely because of this that the emperor's grandfather enfeoffed all his sons everywhere in order to protect the Zhu family's world together.
After talking, I didn't really agree with the fact that the emperor's grandfather had granted the kings. I always felt that the emperor's grandfather did this, but I was afraid that the old story of the seven kingdoms in the Western Han Dynasty would be caused to our Great Wu in the future.
"Okay, I'm the happiest to be able to get along well with you guys." Although the emperor's grandfather was already the emperor, he never liked to make a fuss, so he always called him "me" to us.
"The emperor's grandfather is busy with national affairs. My grandson has not seen you for several days. My grandson has a request here, and I hope the emperor's grandfather will agree!"
"Oh?" The emperor's grandfather didn't seem to know what I had "request", so he said strangely: "Do you have anything to be lacking? Just tell me, I'll let someone prepare for you."
I shook my head and said, "Please allow my grandson to come and pay tribute to you and my grandmother every day. My grandson wants to meet the emperor and my grandmother more!"
When the emperor and the emperor's grandmother heard this, they were stunned at first, and then they were moved in their eyes at the same time. The emperor's grandfather pulled me up from the ground and said in a harmonious voice: "Okay, okay, okay, what a good child! It's rare that you have this filial piety. After the morning court every day, you go to the imperial study room, and the emperor's grandfather is waiting for you there!" When he said that, he pointed at me at the emperor's grandmother and said: "Look, look, this is the root of our Zhu family, the root of our Zhu family!"
I felt a little guilty when I used the means of scheming power against my relatives, but my master had told me a long time ago that the world was actually the emperor's grandfather's world, and everything I had come from him. As long as he was letting me love me in every way, everything was left to me, then other people would not be afraid. I could also get the wind and rain in the capital.
I have been thinking about what I said today for a long time. At this time, no one can see any flaws in the seven emotions. What's more, I have the guise of this eleven-year-old boy. When the emperor's grandfather and grandmother heard me say this, they were immediately moved.
The emperor's grandmother looked at me with a smile and asked, "Changluo, do you know why you were summoning you here today?"
I was stunned for a moment. I had never thought about this, so I shook my head in a daze.
The emperor's grandmother waved to me, asked me to sit beside her, and said, "Actually, we want you to meet someone today, guess who it is?"
"See people?" How long have I been to Yingtian? I met only the few people in the palace. I could guess who they were, unless this person was related to what my father said...
Just as he was thinking in his heart that the emperor's grandmother probably couldn't guess, she said straight: "That man is Hu Meixin, you are your wife who has not passed away, and the daughter of the current prime minister Hu Weiyong."
"Ah, what happened?" I was really surprised. I remember when my father told me last time, he was asking someone to match me, but this time the emperor and grandmother had already said that I had "not passed the door". It seems that with them, there are only a few things that cannot be done in the world.
Seeing that I had no words, the emperor's grandmother said that I was shy and said, "Men are the best when they get married, and women are the best when they get married. The marriage I chose for you is the best. I don't know how many young men and brothers in our capital can't marry them."
When the emperor's grandfather heard the emperor's grandmother say this, he seemed a little reluctant and said, "My wife, it's wrong for you to say this. Could it be that our Changluo is not bad? Hey, you don't know that when Song Lian accompanied me out of the palace to inspect the people's conditions two days ago, he asked Changluo if he had been engaged. Look at his wishes, he wanted to give the talented girl Song in his family to Changluo."
"There is such a thing? There is such a thing?" Although he regards himself as a "gentleman", he still can't help but feel vanity when he hears such a thing. For men, there is nothing more fulfilling than hearing such a thing.
"Song Lian also intends to be our Changluo?" The emperor's grandmother seemed to be so popular with me. She was very happy. After a look at me, she said, "Just marry them all together. Anyway, we Changluo will be at least the same prince in the future. Three wives and four concubines are extremely common."
"At least?" I was surprised and couldn't figure out what the emperor's grandmother said. It sounded like a "big rebellious" idea.
The emperor's grandfather didn't seem to notice the flaws in the words of the emperor's grandmother, and said with a smile: "Song Lian doesn't even buy my account on weekdays, and often pushes my words in front of everyone in the court, which is the most elm-head. Hey, I didn't expect that this time, for Changluo, he actually started to think about it. He tried to please me all the way and ask about Changluo. It's really relieved, haha, relieved..."
When I heard the words of the Emperor's grandfather, I was really funny and angry. What I laughed was that it made the Emperor's grandmother and the Emperor's grandmother so happy. What was angry was that they seemed to be preparing to use my lifelong event to play with the last treasure, which really made me wonder what to do.
The grandparents and grandsons talked and laughed like this. It took a long time to pass. The emperor and grandmother looked outside the house and said in confusion: "Why is it so late? That little girl is not here yet?"
Just as he was talking, a close servant eunuch ran in panic and reported: "Your Majesty, Empress, and the lady in the Hu Mansion said that she was sick and could not enter the palace today."
The emperor's grandfather, the emperor's grandmother and I were shocked when they heard this. At the same time, a wave of inexplicable disappointment arose and my own mind. I couldn't tell what it was for.
"How could it be that if you don't get sick one day, you're sick today? Could it be that you want to deceive the emperor? It's so outrageous!" The emperor's grandfather had always been strong. When he heard this, he immediately refused to believe it. He cursed loudly, and only scared the eunuch below to the ground and did not dare to raise his head.
"Don't be angry, don't be angry!" At this time, only the emperor's grandmother could persuade the emperor's grandfather. "You don't know that the little girl from the Hu family has always been above the top. This time, we are talking to Changluo, and with Hu Wei's temperament... He will agree no matter what. I'm afraid that the little girl is not willing to do this!"
"Even if this is the case, it cannot be done. I am the emperor. This is my will!" After hearing the emperor's grandmother's words, the emperor's grandfather's anger was somewhat relieved, but he still said annoyed.
