The fourth prince is a man with a strong spirit of research.
You say this method is good? Then I want to see it with my own eyes, conduct a field investigation and study, and see whether this method is good or not and why it is good.
He stayed in Changle Palace for two days seriously.
Yan Shiyue was not polite to him at all.
To her, there were few useless people in this world, so when she was studying, she asked him to sit in the front and demonstrate.
The Fourth Prince stood with his shoulders straight and his back straight, and his posture was just like a textbook. He was a good role model for children.
Children are very innocent, so after two days, they started calling him "Mr. Four".
Yan Shiyue doesn’t think she is a virtuous person. She is fine playing with children and completing tasks, but she really doesn’t have the patience to hang out with children all day.
Besides, she still has a one-year agreement with Emperor Ming Yan! Time is also very tight!
In the afternoon, Huo Qijing returned to the palace.
...
...
As soon as he appeared, there was an inexplicable feeling that the head of the family had returned, and the whole atmosphere suddenly became different.
Yan Shiyue instantly turned into a little woman and ran over to greet him.
As a person who is at the top of the food chain in the children's minds, he suddenly showed such an attentive side, and the children couldn't help but exclaim "Wow!" in their hearts.
So when Huo Qijing came over after taking a shower and changing his clothes, he found that several children were staring at him intently.
Children can distinguish good faces from bad ones. If he keeps a straight face and no expression, the children will become more restrained. But if he smiles... the children will relax instantly.
Huo Qijing had coaxed Jiaozi and Nian Gao many times and was very experienced. He looked at the Fourth Prince and saw that one of them already had a sullen face, so there was no need for him to be so, so he smiled.
The children immediately began to chatter again.
The fourth prince: “…”
After dinner, the Fourth Prince and his wife took Zhen'er back home. The Fourth Prince's wife held Zhen'er's hand and said to him, "Tomorrow is the Autumn Festival. How about Zhen'er taking a bath and drying books with you, mother?"
"Okay." Zhen'er said, "Mother, do you know how the Sun-drying Autumn Festival came about?"
The Fourth Prince's wife said, "I don't know."
Zhen'er told her: "Legend has it that the Dragon King of the East China Sea comes out of the water to dry his scales on the sixth day of every June..."
The fourth prince listened silently to the conversation between the mother and daughter behind him.
Zhen'er has never spoken so proactively before.
But is there no rule? No, he was humble and polite from beginning to end.
When he got back, he turned around and called out, "Zhen'er."
Zhener stood up quickly, his expression becoming serious.
The Fourth Prince's wife hesitated to speak.
The fourth prince came over, thought for a moment, then squatted down, looking him straight in the eye, and tried to speak gently, "Zhen'er, Daddy taught you strictly before for your own good, but I didn't think there could be a better way. You don't have to be too restrained in front of Daddy in the future, just follow what Auntie teaches you."
He paused and said slowly, "Don't be angry with Daddy. Is it possible?"
Zhener blinked his eyes for a long time before he said softly, "Zhener is not angry with Dad. Aunt said that this is the first time for Dad and Mom to be parents, and he doesn't know how to do it either. He also needs to learn, and he may make mistakes."
He patted his face gently and repeated very seriously: "Zhen'er is not angry with Daddy."
The Fourth Prince was startled for a moment, feeling the small hand on his face, and he almost burst into tears.
If it had been before, Zhener would never have said, nor could he have said such words.
Even until Zhen'er fell asleep, the Fourth Prince was still standing under the moon in a daze.
He kept telling himself that once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. Since he has taken that step, he must do his best to reach the end... Otherwise, when the dust settles, the new king on the throne will not be able to tolerate a brother with ulterior motives.
But in fact, there is another way.
Stop in time and join the "Crown Princess". You can show your skills and do whatever you want. As long as you don't violate the bottom line, she will definitely protect you.
In fact, he has always understood it, but... he just doesn't want to accept it.
The next day was the Autumn Drying Festival. Yan Shiyue got up early in the morning and took a group of children to dry the autumn leaves.
Originally, they mainly dried clothes and books during the autumn season, but because there were many children in the Changle Palace, the people below joined in the fun and prepared a lot of rice, fruits, and peppers. They put them in round winnowing baskets. They were of various colors and shapes, spread out, and it was very interesting to look at.
The dumplings and rice cakes were so big, and Huo Qijing kept picking them up and throwing them away, seeming to understand what was going on. Huo Qijing stared at them all the way.
Jieer Mier was at the stage of having a hundred thousand questions, and she kept asking: "What is this? What is this? How do I eat it? How do I grow it?"
Yan Shiyue was just about to be overwhelmed by his question, but he heard someone behind him laughing and saying, "If you want to know, go and see for yourself!"
When Yan Shiyue turned around, she saw Emperor Mingyan and the Fourth Prince coming over.
Emperor Ming Yandi suddenly became interested and asked someone to mark out a piece of land with the intention of taking his children to experience it for himself.
The emperor wanted to farm, so his subordinates didn't dare to fool around and leveled more than an acre of land from the garden.
Yan Shiyue and a few others went to take a look. This was originally a garden in the palace, surrounded by blooming flowers, and fluttering bees and butterflies. There was only this piece of land suddenly appearing next to the wall. In such a short time, a thatched shed was built here, making it look presentable.
Emperor Ming Yan was in high spirits. He ordered his men to divide the land into three plots and said with a smile, "I will bring Jiulang and Shilang, Silang will bring Jieer and Zhener, and Ajing will bring Jiaozi, Niangao and Mier. Let's see who grows the best crops."
Then each child was given a small hoe and asked to plow the soil, and the adults followed suit.
Although Huo Qijing had lived a hard life, he had never farmed, let alone the Fourth Prince. In comparison, Emperor Ming Yan looked very imposing, and he was thin and did not look old at all.
Several children gathered around and watched in amazement: "Wow!"
Emperor Ming Yan was obviously very pleased, and his movements became more and more skillful, just like an old master.
Even Yan Shiyue looked at him with some admiration.
The queen sat nearby and watched for a while, then turned around and said with a smile: "In ordinary families, men farm and women weave. Since the men in the family are farming, we have to take care of the stove."
So she took Yan Shiyue and the Fourth Prince's wife, changed into civilian clothes, and went to pick wild vegetables.
Yan Shiyue truly admires the Queen.
Emperor Ming Yan was indeed a little childish sometimes, with a lot of thoughts and stuff, but when he wanted to play, the Empress would play with him. Not everyone has this awareness.
The emperor lived in this temporary palace and he wanted to sweep the floor eight times a day. How could there be any wild vegetables? So several people got on the carriage and went out to dig them up.
The Fourth Prince's wife was a lady of noble family, and she was of a dignified nature. She didn't know any wild vegetables, and she couldn't let go. She looked very restrained and panicked.
But the Queen and Yan Shiyue were having a lot of fun.
There were a bunch of servants helping behind. No matter what kind of vegetable it was, they would just dig it up and pick out the edible ones at the end.
While digging, Yan Shiyue couldn't help but ask the queen: "Why does Aye farm?"
The queen smiled and said, "When your father was young, he served in the army for many years. The army had cultivated land, and he led by example. He knows a little bit about everything." She whispered in his ear and laughed, "He even knows how to sew clothes!"
What a versatile person!
Only Yan Shiyue knew how to cook wild vegetables. She didn't do anything complicated. She just cooked some multi-grain porridge, mixed it with jelly, chopped the wild vegetables finely, added lots of egg fritters, and spread them into half-moon shaped vegetable pancakes.
At noon, three people went over carrying baskets.
