Chapter 142 Chapter 142 Is this the reason? ...
Li Shuyao didn't feel bad about eating...
Well, actually, a little bit.
She asked Tian Jiarou, "Are you going to send so many people every day from now on, or is it just today?"
Tian Jiarou was a little confused by her question, "Of course it's only today. Concubine Yi from next door also sent several meals over."
After all, it was my prince's first day in the study room...
Just as she was beginning to think, she was suddenly interrupted by Li Shuyao's voice: "Ah? Qingyao also sent it?"
"How can a bunch of kids like them finish eating so much? It's shameful to waste it." Li Shuyao kindly reminded them.
Tian Jiarou suppressed a laugh and replied, "Your Majesty, there are more than just the young princes in our palace in the Upper Study."
"There are also some young princes of the royal family who are of appropriate age and are studying in the upper study room."
In addition, each prince had two Hahazhuzi and two tutors by his side, who were basically selected from the families of capable ministers of the previous dynasty.
By this calculation, there are as many as forty or fifty children in the upper study room.
So if her prince couldn't finish the food, he could naturally share it with Hahazhuzi and his tutor who served him, or other cousins from the royal family who he liked.
Li Shuyao gradually understood.
He sighed, "It's quite complicated."
Tian Jiarou helped her back to the rocking chair.
Li Shuyao suddenly remembered something and asked her, "According to palace rules, after class, will Yinzhen come back to Changchun Palace to pay his respects to me?"
Tian Jiarou nodded.
Yue Shu added, "However, the Fifth Prince needs to go to the Qianqing Palace and the Cining Palace to pay his respects to the Emperor and the two ancestors first. After that, he must also pay his respects to the Imperial Noble Consort before returning to our Changchun Palace."
"The same process applies to other brothers."
"Also, because the two ancestors prefer quietness and don't want to burden the younger princes, they previously instructed that the princes only need to come and pay their respects every five days. Since the Cining Palace has already said so, the Imperial Noble Consort doesn't want the princes to pay their respects every day, so she follows the two ancestors' lead and has the princes pay their respects every ten days."
"When Consort Hui and Consort Rong heard the news, they didn't dare to bypass the Imperial Noble Consort, so they asked the eldest and third princes to return to pay their respects once every two weeks."
Li Shuyao: “?”
Hmm? Isn't this involution?
She pondered it for a while, and suddenly felt that this was not a bad idea.
The little guy was with her for six years, plus the ten months of pregnancy, it was almost seven years.
Everyone gets tired.
It's time for her to have some time to herself.
So she waved her hand and said, "Okay, since Concubine Hui and Concubine Rong have said so, let's do the same."
"Just have Yinzhen come back every fifteen days to pay his respects."
Nanny Yan and Tian Jiarou looked at each other, their eyes filled with helplessness.
Did her mother make this decision too quickly?

Go to the study.
The rhythmic sound of reading rang out aloud.
Yinzhen sat in his seat, holding a book in his hand, feeling a lot of emotions in his heart.
He originally thought that with his new life and the memory of his past life as a blessing, when he picked up the books again, he should be able to memorize all the books after reading them two or three times, if not every memory.
But the actual situation was completely different from what he had imagined.
Not to mention two or three times, even twenty or thirty times might not be enough for him to memorize the book "Mencius" in his hand!
Yinzhen intuitively felt that something might be wrong. Why did he remember that the first book he read when he first went to the upper study in his previous life should be "Thousand Character Classic"?
Just as I was lost in thought, someone knocked on the table twice with a folding fan.
Yinzhen quickly sat up straight, turned a page and continued reciting.
Tang Bin, who knocked on the table to remind him, saw that the Fifth Prince quickly came back to his senses and continued reading, so he stood there and listened for a while. He saw that he pronounced the words clearly without any pauses. He read several paragraphs in a row and recognized every word. He was very fluent and was very satisfied.
Then he walked between the Sixth Prince and the Young Prince Chun, who were also visiting the study for the first time, and stopped to listen for a while, his brows furrowed so tightly that it seemed as if he could pinch a fly to death.
After reading the book ten times, the sounds in the study gradually stopped.
After Tang Bin walked back to the desk, he continued to explain the next chapter of the book without changing his expression.
Yinzhen realized belatedly that he had forgotten to hide his incompetence!
Logically, this was his first time in the study. At the young age of six, no matter how talented he was, he shouldn't be unfamiliar with a single word.
They should be like Yinqi and An'er, who read two sentences, stopped, and tried to identify the words to each other for a long time, and then continued to read stutteringly, with a bitter face, trembling with fear that another unfamiliar word would appear in the book.
I was careless.
It’s all his mother’s fault.
After spending so much time with his mother, he had lost even the most basic sense of vigilance, leaving nothing behind.
I finally waited until the get out of class was over.
As soon as the lecturer left, the eunuchs who were delivering meals came in one after another, each holding a heavy food box in their hands.
Yinzhen sat in his seat and looked around for a while before catching sight of the Crown Prince. He quickly stood up and walked towards him, clasping his hands together and bowing, "Brother Crown Prince, can I have dinner with you?"
Crown Prince Yinreng paused as he stood up, but remained silent.
The eldest prince on his right spoke hurriedly, "This is Xiaowu's first day in the study. Your Highness should take him to dinner."
Yinzhen: “?”
A hint of displeasure flashed across the prince's dark eyes, but he quickly concealed it. When he looked at Yinzhen, his smile returned in an instant, and his voice was very gentle and pleasant, "Okay, then let's go to the pavilion outside to eat."
The eldest prince quickly told the eunuch who was serving him food to leave.
Yinzhen realized it belatedly the second time. He seemed to have disturbed his elder brother and the crown prince?
He almost couldn't help but want to squat down and hold his head.
Why are the two brothers acting so weird?
Don’t they have a good relationship in this life?
If he couldn't figure it out, he stopped thinking about it. He called Yinqi and An'er who were walking behind him to follow.
The group arrived at the pavilion not far from the upper study. While the eunuch was setting the table, Yinzhen couldn't help but ask, "Crown Prince, did you and my eldest brother have a fight?"
The prince was silent for a few breaths, "...No."
That's it.
Yinzhen nodded in understanding and asked, "Then why doesn't Big Brother come and have dinner with us?"
The prince scoffed, "Who knows?" He then took the lead, picked up his chopsticks, picked up a piece of braised beef, and put it into his mouth. "This is the work of Master Liu in your mother's palace, right?"
"I haven't had it for a while, and I miss it."
As soon as he finished speaking, two more pairs of chopsticks suddenly appeared on the plate of braised beef. Each pair of chopsticks picked up a thick piece of beef and put it into Yinzhen's bowl.
Yinqi and An'er said in unison: "Brother, you eat."
"The prince said it's delicious, brother, please eat more!"
Yinzhen: “…”
He realized it too late the third time. Not to mention the prince and his elder brother, wasn't his relationship with Yinqi also different from that in his previous life?
In his previous life, Yinqi was taken to Shoukang Palace and raised by the Imperial Mama as soon as he was born. He was rarely with Yi'en Niang. Not to mention him, he had only seen his other brothers a few times.
Moreover, since the Empress Dowager did not know Chinese and only knew Mongolian, she was unable to teach Yinqi. As a result, when Yinqi first arrived at the study, he suffered a lot because he could not recognize a few big characters.
How could my life be this bright and optimistic, almost to the point of being heartless?
Everything is a new beginning.
The memory of his past life was no longer reliable, and he could no longer cling to the past...
If you are a genius, then you are a genius. If you can read, then you can read.
Tang Bin, Xu Chao and Li Guangdi would never become his disciples just because he learned knowledge quickly.
In a few years, when the Wenhua Hall is completed, they will all follow the Crown Prince to give lectures there.
What does it have to do with him?
Anyway, he never wants to participate in the fight for the throne again in this life.
If for no other reason than for his new mother in this life.
The new mother is so timid. If she knew that he was going to do such a dangerous thing, she would probably not be able to sleep well or eat snacks.
As for Big Brother and the Crown Prince...
They are so much older than him, it shouldn't be that they can't handle even a small matter like a quarrel.
He is still a baby who just turned 72 months old. He shouldn’t worry about adults’ affairs. Just let them handle it themselves!
Awooo, the chef in the small kitchen of Changchun Palace still cooks the best food. I don’t know if my mother will ask someone to bring him food every day. When I go to pay my respects in the afternoon, I should remind my mother in a subtle way.
Otherwise, with her personality, she would probably forget the existence of her son in just a few days.

Yinzhen's guess was correct. During this period, some unpleasant things did happen between the eldest prince Yinzhi and the crown prince Yinreng.
But the main root of the problem lies in the haha beads of the two of them.
As the eldest prince and the crown prince grew up, undercurrents began to surge in the court and the harem.
A few years ago, the emperor was preparing to choose a wife for the eldest prince. As he was choosing, he suddenly changed his mind, perhaps because of some concubine in the palace who whispered something in his ear.
It was said that the eldest prince was still young and had not yet grown up. Choosing a wife for him at this time would not only hinder his studies, but would also be of no benefit to his offspring.
As he spoke, he took out several ancient pharmacopoeias and Western medical books, and used himself as an example, saying that so many princes died in the early years because they were too young.
Before the court officials could react, more than a dozen white-haired doctors appeared in the Golden Palace. Some of them were the former director of the Imperial Medical Bureau, while others were medical experts recruited from the public. They investigated all provinces in the world, from the prosperous Kyoto to the remote and desolate Lingnan, covering more than tens of thousands of households, and recorded the birth rates of the past two or three decades in a book.
The harmfulness of early childbirth and early childbearing is illustrated by real and bloody data.
Yes, it means early birth and early childbearing. I don’t know where the emperor got this word from, but just four words make people fully understand its meaning.
Looking at the investigation results held high in the hands of the doctors, the ministers in the court fell silent one by one.
Thinking back to the princes and grandchildren who died before their full month in the palace in the early years, and the situations in their respective families, those daughters and daughters-in-law who got married at the age of ten and gave birth at the age of eleven...
It seems that, indeed, few of the children born can survive.
Previously, I thought that it was because the newlyweds were ignorant and not cautious enough that the baby was born weak and infertile, and died prematurely after only a few months.
But I didn't expect that this was the reason? !
