Before the palace examination, Yu Sheng was given the title of Hanlin scholar as an exception, and was always by the emperor's side.
The Prime Minister has become accustomed to the fact that Emperor Yun does not follow the rules, but fortunately the Queen is reasonable.
I really can’t imagine how exhausted he would be if only Emperor Yun had been chosen as the emperor.
No one knew why Emperor Yun valued Yu Sheng. They just thought that he was from Linzhou and his family was related to the Queen.
From then on, whenever important officials met in the palace for a meeting, Yu Sheng was always there. He was responsible for taking notes and drafting imperial edicts, and sometimes officials would even ask for his opinions.
The top three winners of the palace examination were all overshadowed by him.
When Yu Fucheng of Linzhou received Yu Sheng's letters, he opened the first one and happily took two big gulps of cold wine before he calmed down. He then gave a generous reward to the person who delivered the letter.
Mrs. Yu also cried with joy, holding her husband's arm and wiping her eyes. Not only did their son win the exam, he also became a celebrity in the palace.
Then he opened the second letter. His son suspected that it was his behavior towards Sun Feifei that aroused the admiration of Emperor Yun. Emperor Yun always loved Nvjun and never thought of having a second woman.
The couple looked at each other and nodded deeply. The deep affection between Emperor Yun and Lady Jun had spread almost throughout the Great Zhou.
I didn't expect that my son's future was related to Aunt Sun.
The two of them decided that it would be better to make Sun Feifei the legitimate wife, so that the grandchildren would also be legitimate. In the future, Yu Sheng would not take concubines and would not make any mistakes. Emperor Yun would definitely always value him.
He immediately wrote back to Yu Sheng, saying that if his son agreed, they would do so.
Sun Feifei didn’t know yet, but seeing that the master and the mistress were more enthusiastic towards her than before, she guessed that Yu Sheng had graduated from high school.
He fought with his parents many times for the sake of his daughter, a guilty subject. She didn't expect that the choice she made to save her life would become the redemption of her life.
She already understood what true love was, and she secretly swore in her heart that if he didn't leave, she would cherish him.
......
A few months later, five-year-old Xie Zhiyi and Shen Zhixi were preparing to go to school.
When choosing a study partner, Gu Kaizhi's three-year-old son insisted on going with him. Xie Yunzhao sent him back, saying he was too young and even clamored to find a wet nurse.
Let him come back next year, Shen Zhilan will also come next year.
In the end, the candidates were the eldest princess' daughter, Ye Man's son, the prime minister's great-grandson, and several high-ranking officials' children of marriageable age.
Old Tutor Shen and Prince Xuan entered the palace early in the morning to educate their children.
Xie Yunzhao left the court early and did not discuss matters with the ministers. He went to the Shangshufang holding a child in one hand.
They were happy all the way. The child had grown up and would have his own things to do in the future, and would no longer compete with him for Rongrong.
They are already busy, and the little time they finally have is occupied by their three children. They can only be intimate with Rongrong when they are sleeping.
Shen Zhixi pinched his lips to stop him from laughing. She didn't like reading.
"Excuse me, grandfather, please, father-in-law, I'll leave Ayi and Xixi in your care." Xie Yunzhao put the children down and said with a smile.
When the old tutor saw him coming, he wanted to keep him to teach together, to cure his childhood habit of being restless and not liking to study: "Does the Emperor Yun want to listen together?"
"No, no, I still have memorials to deal with, so I'll leave first." Xie Yunzhao was so scared that he waved his hands repeatedly.
Just as she was about to run, Xie Zhiyi grabbed her by the hem of her clothes, with a wicked smile on his little face: "My son has asked my younger sister to keep a close eye on me, so don't try to snatch me away, Dad!"
"You..." Just as his hand was about to touch his butt, Xie Yunzhao seemed to sense something. He turned around to look at his grandfather who was glaring at him. He didn't even bother to beat his son and ran away quickly.
The old tutor shook his head helplessly, not knowing how to behave in front of the child.
At the end of the day, the old tutor almost fainted from anger after only teaching for half an hour, and was sent back to the Princess's Mansion.
The princess personally applied a damp handkerchief to his forehead, and scolded him with a distressed tone: "You are so old now, just leave it to your son and Master Gao, why do you have to teach them yourself?"
The old tutor tilted his head to the inside of the bed, not looking at her, and muttered: "That old guy can still run the court, so why can't I teach?"
The princess held her forehead helplessly, and secretly compared herself with others: "The prime minister is facing officials who can understand what he says, what about you?"
"A bunch of kids playing around so hard that the roof of the house could be blown off. How can your heart bear it?"
"Do you think he is powerful?" The old tutor, no longer able to cover herself with a handkerchief, sat up and stared at her wife and asked.
The eldest princess pursed her lips. Is this the point? Which of her words said that the Prime Minister was so powerful?
"Also, how do you know I'm talking about the Prime Minister?"
"Don't be unreasonable. I don't care about you anymore."
The princess was about to leave when her wrist was pulled: "My heart hurts~"
"You are younger than Zhilan, a three-year-old kid, no more." The eldest princess was so angry that she laughed, but she didn't leave and sat back.
"You don't know how noisy those kids are. Xixi is the worst. Not only can she not sit still on the stool, she is even more noisy than the three kids!"
"When she was asked to answer a question, her voice was as loud as thunder. After class, she jumped up and down like crazy. Several older kids couldn't outrun her. She didn't act like a princess at all."
"It's not time for you to let Xixi have the surname Shen. When you grow up, you start to dislike children for being noisy."
The old lady showed a look of regret on her face: "I thought she would be like my granddaughter when she was little, cute and adorable, and sometimes naughty, but always well behaved."
The eldest princess glared at him and said, "Your granddaughter is the worst, she is mean and mean, otherwise why would the late emperor like her more than the princesses?"
"Haha, that's right. Even Li Chen is not as favored as his granddaughter." The old tutor smiled proudly.
The princess patted his hand and said softly, "Don't go in the future. Let Jingxuan go by himself. He is his own grandson, so he should pay attention to him."
The old master's eyes dodged, but he still refused to admit defeat: "Maybe I will get used to it tomorrow."
The eldest princess was angry because the old man just refused to admit his age.
She didn't force it. She lowered her eyes slightly and said in a coquettish tone: "But... I haven't been feeling well recently. I want my husband to stay with me."
The old tutor looked straight at her, her ears turned red, and she held the eldest princess's hand with a faint smile on her face: "I won't go. Accompanying you is the most important thing."
The eldest princess looked at him with a moved look on her face, and she felt relieved in her heart.
Although he is stubborn, he is easy to please.
Everyone in the court and the country knew that the old tutor was sent back home in anger. Most of the ministers had seen the two children with the queen, and they were always well-behaved. How could this happen?
Maybe the old tutor is too old to bear it.
When the two children came back in the afternoon, they knelt down in the imperial study. They didn't expect that their great-grandfather would be so angry that he would faint.
"What did you learn today?" Shen Shurong was angry that Xie Yunzhao didn't even make his grandfather faint from anger, but was made faint by these two little ones. It was really true that the disciple was better than the master.
"We learned filial piety today." The two children knew they were in trouble and replied obediently.
"We have learned to respect our elders and be gentle, refined, polite and well-mannered in front of them."
"Did you do that?"
"Yes... I learned it after our great-grandfather passed away." The two children pouted, tears welling up in their eyes.
