Qin Yuanhao just remembered that the queen seemed to have not come to harass him in recent days.
In the past, if he had gone to the Yang family to hold the first birthday banquet, the Queen would have rushed over and knelt outside the Yangxin Palace to beg him to retract his order.
"Zhou Mian, where is the queen now?" Qin Yuanhao called Zhou Mian back.
"Your Majesty, the Queen is in Kunning Palace right now, supervising the eldest prince to complete his homework." Zhou Mian said in a low voice.
The queen's father was his tutor, who taught him how to be a king. After he ascended the throne, he retired from the court and no longer asked about court affairs. Naturally, he had some feelings for the queen's family.
Qin Yuanhao felt a headache when he thought of the eldest prince, as he was his first child.
How can it not hurt?
When he was a child, he had a weak constitution and the queen was worried every day, which made him afraid that something might happen to him.
As I spoiled him more and more, I found that the eldest son liked to practice martial arts. He didn't like reading before. How could this be possible?
He and the Queen could only force him to study, thinking that the more he learned, the better!
As a result, the boy became more and more rebellious as he grew up, and the queen covered up for him, making it difficult for him alone.
"Let's go! Let's go to Kunning Palace." Qin Yuanhao waved his sleeves and strode out.
When he arrived at the gate of Kunning Palace, he happened to hear the queen scolding the eldest prince Qin Jinqi.
"You should know that the Third Prince is only eight years old, and he's already appeared before His Majesty. Look at you, all you do every day is follow Master Wu around. Today, the teacher in the study said you skipped class again. You must copy all the knowledge that Master taught today and memorize the annotations for me."
"You should know that your grandfather was the Imperial Tutor of His Majesty, a man of profound learning. I am also quite dull, so how could I have given birth to a son like you?"
The eldest prince, Qin Jinqi, dodged the Queen's hand and said helplessly, "Mother, seeing these things really gives me a headache! Instead of asking me to study, you might as well let me practice archery for another hour."
"You, rebellious son, you really want to piss me off to death. Last time, you were bewitched by the second brother and went to cause trouble for the third brother. Who did you think you could hide this from? Only someone as simple-minded as you didn't even know you were being used as a pawn."
"Mother, why are you bringing this up again? I already know I was wrong."
"Alas, I was afraid that His Majesty would punish you, so I turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside. But you, on the other hand, have let my efforts down in vain."
"Okay, mother, there will be roast chicken tonight. It's a fat chicken that I picked myself. I have been keeping an eye on that chicken for several days, and I saw it squatting in the chicken coop every day to grow meat. But today, I saw several chicks following it, so I quickly asked the imperial chef to slaughter it for me." The eldest prince looked at his mother with a flattering look.
Qin Yuanhao was standing outside. He was a little angry when he thought about how he had made things difficult for the third prince, but then he heard about the hen.
His eyes lit up, thinking it was like a pillow was given to him when he was sleepy. He lifted his robe and walked straight in.
The Queen was stunned when she saw Qin Yuanhao, then quickly stood up and explained: "Your Majesty, I just knew..."
Qin Yuanhao quickly helped the man up, "Queen, I know you are doing this for Qin Jinqi's own good. As the eldest son, he must grow up on his own and cannot always rely on the two of us. I have high hopes for him!"
When the Queen heard this, her eyes lit up. Your Majesty meant that Jinqi had the hope of becoming the crown prince.
She was still somewhat happy in her heart.
She always knew that her son was not good at civil affairs, but there was a voice telling her that her son must be the queen. Moreover, when Concubine Chen was giving birth, she somehow found Concubine Qi.
You have to know that she doesn't care about these things at all, she doesn't love the emperor, and everything she does is according to her father's requirements.
Her father taught her since she was young to be an upright person, so much so that she still can't understand why she is like this.
But when Qin Yuanhao changed the subject, she and Qin Jinqi were both stunned.
"Not enough, Jinqi, you just said that the hen had been in the chicken coop for many days, and then a few chicks followed behind her, and then you asked the imperial chef to cook this hen for you?"
Qin Jinqi nodded helplessly, "Father, that hen is growing very well."
"How old are you? How could you be so cruel? The hen finally hatched a few chicks, and you sent them to the table. What about those chicks?"
ah?
What?
No, the chicks are taken care of by palace servants!
Qin Yuanhao didn't wait for the two to speak and continued, "Qin Jinqi, I order you to observe the entire process of a hen hatching chicks and learn how the hen cares for the chicks. Submit an observation sheet to me every day."
"If you can learn the technique of a hen hatching chicks, I will allow you to go to the Xijin camp for training."
Two voices sounded at the same time.
"Your Majesty, you absolutely cannot do that." The Queen anxiously stopped him. The people in the Xijin camp were all rough men who had returned from the border. How could Qin Jinqi go to such a place?
"Father, are you serious?" The eldest prince Qin Jinqi had long wanted to go to the camp to experience it. He didn't care what kind of camp it was. As long as he had the opportunity, he would go.
When Qin Yuanhao saw the eldest prince's expression, there was everything he didn't understand.
"Empress, I will arrange for someone to accompany Jinqi, so don't worry." He looked at Qin Jinqi again, "But I have made it very clear that I will only allow this if you can control the temperature at which the hen hatches the chicks and successfully hatch them."
Qin Jinqi patted his chest confidently, "Father, don't worry, I will definitely be able to do it."
After hearing this, Qin Yuanhao nodded approvingly: "Very good, I will wait for your good news."
"Queen, there have been numerous natural disasters today. As the mother of a nation, you should do something for the people. It's cold in winter, so you should prepare some clothes for the refugees."
The Queen saw that there was no turning back on the matter of the eldest prince, and was just about to send the guest away, stroking her forehead, when she saw that His Majesty had already gotten straight to the point.
"Your Majesty, why don't you let the people below do this kind of thing? I am really clumsy." The Queen's face at this moment can be described as ugly.
Everyone in the harem knows that the queen is not good at needlework, but this damn emperor actually asked her to make clothes. Isn't this deliberately making things difficult for her?
It was obviously the imperial concubine who did the embroidery.
Qin Yuanhao then remembered that the one who knew how to make clothes seemed to be the imperial concubine.
The imperial concubine always showed him some messy things, but since the last incident, he asked Zhou Mian to throw them all away.
This suddenly got it wrong.
! !
"Ahem, I've been so busy lately. What I mean is that the Queen can set an example. As for who can sew it, all the concubines in the palace can use it." Qin Yuanhao quickly tried to make amends and mentioned the Queen by the way.
The meaning is very clear. I am donating it in your name. You can ask the imperial concubine to do it for you!
The Queen was no fool. She nodded and said, "Your Majesty, I will make the arrangements. Would you like to stay and have dinner with us?"
When Qin Yuanhao heard that it was time to eat, he stood up, rolled up his sleeves and walked out, saying politely, "No need, I still have government affairs to attend to, you guys eat."
Everyone in the palace knew that the queen and the eldest prince loved sweets, and almost every dish was sweet.
Qin Yuanhao couldn't eat it at all.
If you don't slip away now, when will you?
