"Your Majesty, this is the latest intelligence from the princes of various places."
Xiu Fu was presented to Emperor Yanxing.
Emperor Yanxing took a quick look and narrowed his eyes slightly. The King of Qi actually had a grandson.
The Prince of Qi is twenty years older than Emperor Yanxing. He is forty-one now and should have a grandson long ago.
However, the fight for the throne is very cruel. Not only the King of Qi, but also the children of other brothers in the backyard will not live long even if they are born safely.
Some of them were injured and some were disabled, and after Emperor Yanxing ascended the throne, they were sent to their fiefdoms.
The Queen Mother was too lazy to deal with them, and the concubines remained in the palace, which was equivalent to hostages.
Now, the King of Qi has two sons, both born to concubines. The elder one was adopted by the princess at birth, and married and took concubines when he was thirteen or fourteen years old, and only then did the King of Qi have the grandson he had been longing for day and night.
Prince Han also had two sons, Prince Xiang had one son, and Prince Qing had three sons.
Someone in the harem of Prince Han's son is also pregnant.
Emperor Yanxing didn't care about these things. He only cared about whether his injured brothers were well behaved.
It was fine before, but now that they have grandchildren, they may not be content anymore.
If these brothers had not been injured, their father would not have passed the throne to him, a three-year-old child, and those brothers might not have been willing to watch him ascend the throne smoothly.
Emperor Yanxing put down the information in his hand and stood up. He was eager to see his children.
Emperor Yanxing came to Fuhua Palace, but Bei Lingyao and the two children were not there.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine and the Crown Prince and Princess have gone to the Upper Si Courtyard."
Emperor Yanxing was stunned and walked towards Shangsiyuan.
Xiu Fu hurried to catch up.
Shangsiyuan is the royal horse farm. Today, Bei Lingyao brought her two children here to select foals for them.
"Your Highness is too impatient. The prince and princess are still young."
As Emperor Yanxing spoke, he also realized that he had failed in his duty as a father.
Although the prince is still young, he should have arranged everything in advance.
"Xu Fu, remind me tomorrow to choose a tutor for the Crown Prince and Princess."
Xiu Fu: “…” He just said that the imperial concubine was too anxious, and the emperor himself was the same.
Even if royal children were to start elementary school, they would have to be at least three years old, and they would not officially start school until they were six years old.
The prince and princess were only over one year old, and Xiu Fu couldn't help but feel sympathy for them.
There are more than a hundred horses in Shangsiyuan, many of which are tribute.
Emperor Yanxing's Changfeng was chosen from among the many fine horses in Shangsiyuan.
Of course, it is impossible for the emperor to have only Changfeng as his personal horse.
In the past two days, two Ferghana cubs were born in Shangsiyuan, and Bei Lingyao brought the two children here.
When Emperor Yanxing arrived, he saw the mother and her two children circling around a one-day-old white horse cub.
A purebred Arabian horse.
Emperor Yanxing came here yesterday, but he didn't think of bringing Bei Lingyao and her son with him.
"Your servants, I pay my respects to His Majesty."
"Stand up"
"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you."
Bei Lingyao also took her two children to pay her respects to Emperor Yanxing.
"Father~Emperor"
The two children were very happy to see Emperor Yanxing coming.
Emperor Yanxing held his children in his arms, feeling a little relieved.
It was obvious that he didn't like children. When he was young, the deposed empress dowager always summoned a group of cousins from his mother's family into the palace to play with him.
The older ones were okay, but some were sent to the palace when they were only a few months old. They were howling like ghosts and making devilish noises, which was really terrible.
He was annoyed every day, from morning to night except when he was in court, but Emperor Yanxing couldn't help but be dissatisfied.
When he lost his temper and didn't want to pay attention to his cousins, the deposed empress dowager would teach him a lesson, make him get close to his cousins, and even take care of them.
Emperor Yanxing was truly disgusted with the situation. After the twins were born, he seldom accompanied them. Thinking of this, Emperor Yanxing felt guilty.
"The Imperial Concubine, please stand up."
Emperor Yanxing spoke in a gentle tone and walked to the young horse with the two children in his arms.
"This white pony will be given to Fengyang."
Emperor Yanxing said, looking at the Left Minister of the Imperial Court, "Bring out that black colt."
"I obey your command."
The Minister of the Left immediately ordered someone to bring out the black colt.
The two-month-old horse, pure black, is Changfeng's child.
This was also what Bei Lingyao had her eye on, but Emperor Yanxing took the initiative to bring it up, which saved her some trouble.
In this way, the prince and the eldest princess each had a horse of their own.
"Your Highness, please choose a horse as well."
After hearing what Emperor Yanxing said, Bei Lingyao had an idea. "I'm not familiar with horses either. How about Your Majesty choose one for me?"
"Okay, I'll pick one for you, my lady."
Emperor Yanxing looked at the stables with great interest. A group of officials and eunuchs including the left and right ministers followed Emperor Yanxing to visit one stable after another.
Not long after, Xiu Fu brought out a tall and strong chestnut horse. The horse was bright in color and looked shiny and smooth in the sunlight. It was very beautiful.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the gift of the horse."
Bei Lingyao also likes this beautiful chestnut horse very much.
"Return to the training ground. I will teach you how to ride a horse."
Seeing Bei Lingyao liked it, Emperor Yanxing smiled and said, "Go back to the training grounds, and I will teach you how to ride a horse."
Bei Lingyao naturally responded without hesitation.
The original owner had been in Taiji Palace since entering the palace and had no chance to learn horse riding.
Emperor Yanxing was willing to teach better.
But isn't Emperor Yanxing a misogynist? The twins, a boy and a girl, are over one year old, but Emperor Yanxing has no desire for them at all. He won't sleep with them even when he goes to Fuhua Palace.
Bei Lingyao was also a Buddhist. Knowing his personality, she did not rush to seduce him to have a baby.
After returning to Fuhua Palace, the twins were taken care of by the wet nurse and other maids. Bei Lingyao, dressed in simple and capable riding clothes, went to the training ground with Emperor Yanxing.
Emperor Yanxing looked at the heroic Bei Lingyao and exclaimed, "This outfit really suits the Imperial Concubine."
Bei Lingyao looked at the royal blue riding clothes on her body and felt that this style of dress suited her.
Xiu Fu and Xiao Linzi were quite surprised. After all, compared with the current Bei Lingyao, their former owner seemed to have been completely reborn.
It is said that the emperor’s favorite people are raised by his beloved ones, and it is indeed true.
In the past, in Taiji Palace, the imperial concubine was inconspicuous even among the other palace ladies. She always kept her head down and hunched her back, and had no sense of existence.
Afterwards, she had a brief affair with the emperor, became pregnant, and some changes happened to her.
Only two years had passed, and the imperial concubine had become bright, dignified, graceful and elegant, as if she were born a noblewoman. No one could tell that she came from a humble background.
At this moment, Bei Lingyao was helped onto the black Ferghana horse by Emperor Yanxing, and the next second, Emperor Yanxing was already sitting behind her.
"drive"
Changfeng started running.
Emperor Yanxing spent most of the day teaching Bei Lingyao how to ride a horse in the training ground.
Bei Lingyao gradually became proficient from being unfamiliar with riding, and her horsemanship improved dramatically. She could race with Emperor Yanxing on her own chestnut horse without the Emperor Yanxing leading her.
"good"
Emperor Yanxing was amazed, and his eyes lit up as he looked at Bei Lingyao. "Your Highness has given me such a big surprise."
"It's the Emperor's teaching that's good."
Bei Lingyao smiled faintly, her face also filled with joy.
Emperor Yanxing was stunned when he saw Bei Lingyao's bright and sunny news. While Bei Lingyao's attention was on the red horse, he said to Xiufu, "Why do I feel that the imperial concubine is becoming more and more beautiful?"
