After receiving the imperial edict, the Fourth Prince went to Xianfu Palace to pay his respects.
It’s the same place, but things and people have changed.
Yipin, now Xianfei, is a straightforward person. She told him directly: "I didn't have any children before, but now I have such a mother-son relationship with you. This is because the emperor pities me, and I am very happy. I have never been a mother before, so I can only learn slowly. I will learn to do everything I can do in the future. You don't have to feel uncomfortable. If you want to see her, you don't have to worry about me. Mother and child are natural, and I will never blame you for this. As for your wife and children, don't be nervous. I am not the kind of person who tortures people. Affection is developed day by day. Let's take it slowly."
The Fourth Prince bowed his head in agreement, and Concubine Yi ordered someone to bring out something: "This is a gift for meeting you. There are some for you and your wife, and some for Jie'er. Please don't despise them."
The Fourth Prince thanked him hastily.
When I got back home, I saw that Jie'er was wearing two sets of clothes that she had made herself.
The Fourth Prince's wife had one set of clothing and one set of headgear, while he was given two sets of clothing and two headgears.
You know, he has nothing now except the status of a prince. It's not that he has violated the rules, but most of the time, many things are inconvenient to use.
But what is bestowed from the palace is different. What is given by the emperor, the empress, and the mother can all be worn. Wearing them is a sign of filial piety.
But after all these years, he didn't mention it, and his mother never gave it to him.
...
...
Even if she gave him less, he could wear whatever he wanted. Who would count? But she didn't give him anything, so he had to wear it like this. Even children like seven or eight dressed more freely and brightly than him.
After comparing it this way, I suddenly feel that this is a good idea.
It cannot be explained to outsiders, but it is a feeling of sudden relief.
When she showed it to the Fourth Prince's wife, she couldn't help but say, "Love will develop slowly over time. The key lies in the heart."
The fourth prince said, "I understand." He pressed her shoulder and said, "Let's... live a good life."
On August 15, the sixteenth year of Mingyan, Emperor Mingyan abdicated the throne to the Crown Prince.
When the crown prince ascended the throne, he changed the reign title to Chengsheng.
The fourth prince was named Prince Duan and the fifth prince was named Prince Xian.
At the same time, the position of Pingxiang was changed to Shangxiang, the highest official among all officials, and was succeeded by Yan Shiyue.
Right Prime Minister Xu Mingxiu was promoted to Left Prime Minister, and Cabinet Minister Chen Yanyun was promoted to Right Prime Minister.
The cabinet's second assistant Sun Xuancheng was promoted to the chief assistant, and Lin Fujian was promoted to the second assistant.
Prince Chengping Yan Chengyuan was promoted to Prince Ping, Prince Rong Huo Qijing was promoted to Prince Rong, Xu Wenqu was granted the title of Marquis Qingyuan... and so on.
It is worth mentioning that Jiang Yu'an was also granted the fourth-rank title of Jingxing Earl.
But due to Yan Shiyue's strong opposition, the world was not released.
When Yan Shiyue entered the palace again, she felt different... Before, returning to the palace was like going home, but now, it was a bit like being a guest.
She felt awkward when she entered the imperial study, and she was thinking, if she felt awkward, then Emperor Ming Yan must be even more awkward! She had to go see him later.
Emperor Cheng Sheng could see that she was uncomfortable, but he pretended not to know and said with a smile: "Yuer."
"Brother?"
Emperor Cheng Sheng said, "I want Zhen'er to go to the upper study room to study. Do you want Jiaozi to come over?"
Yan Shiyue thought for a moment and said, "Can't I go home now that I'm here?"
Emperor Cheng Sheng said: "Yes, take a rest every ten days."
Yan Shiyue hesitated for a moment: "Then I'll go back and ask A Jing."
The eunuch Wang Chaoqing who was standing next to them couldn't help but look sideways.
I knew this person was different. I saw it with my own eyes. The emperor's words were imperial decrees. Can this be bargained for? I'm going to go back and ask Ah Jing... If Prince Rong doesn't agree, she won't send him?
Emperor Chengsheng was used to it. After all, he had seen her argue with Emperor Mingyan with his own eyes and knew that this was just her temper.
Emperor Cheng Sheng said: "If you ask him, A Jing will definitely agree. You should go back and find him some good study companions and bring them in together."
Yan Shiyue agreed.
Then she went to see Emperor Ming Yan.
Emperor Ming Yan and the Empress, now the retired emperor and the retired empress, also moved out. Before entering, she deliberately restrained her expression, but still went in happily.
After she entered, she saw A Niang's face full of joy, holding Emperor Ming Yan's hand. When she saw her coming, she smiled and said, "Yuer, your father said that from now on, he will only take care of me. You come and bear witness for me."
Yan Shiyue chuckled.
Emperor Ming Yan was very helpless: "How can you say such things to a child?"
Meng Hui raised her eyebrows, her eyes were full of anger, and she was full of charm: "I'm going to tell people so that you can't deny it."
Emperor Ming Yan smiled and shook his head.
Yan Shiyue inexplicably felt that she was redundant. She smiled and said a few words before leaving.
On the way back, she couldn't help laughing.
Meng Hui is really smart.
And she never pretends to be innocent. She shows her true self, without much concealment and without worrying about breaking her image. She is really a very wise woman. Just like now, she is disappointed. Isn't Meng Hui disappointed?
She must have been disappointed too, but the one who was most disappointed was Emperor Ming Yan.
Even if you know this is the best choice, disappointment is inevitable.
So Meng Hui let him know that she would be very happy, that she needed him, and that she liked him like this. This was a great comfort to a man of temperament like Emperor Ming Yan.
Young couples will be companions in old age, so there is really no need to worry too much.
As soon as Yan Shiyue returned home, she told Huo Qijing about her studies.
As expected, Huo Qijing agreed immediately.
In fact, Yan Shiyue was not so averse to going to school. The teachers in the palace were all top talents, and children needed to be with their peers. It was just that she would be gone for ten days at a time, and the nanny could not go with her, so she could only go with the little eunuch. She was a little worried.
As for the companion, in fact, Yan Chengyuan was the companion of Emperor Yan of Ming Dynasty. This is equivalent to letting them cultivate their own close forces, which is good for them and their companion. In such a social environment, one can only follow the local customs.
But how do you choose a reading partner?
Yan Shimi can go, but the others... the children at home are still young, and the four kittens will be easy to choose in the future, but now...
Not only her, but also the Fourth Prince was tipped off by Emperor Chengsheng, so Jie'er, Zhen'er and Jiaozi were all selecting study partners, and the entire Chang'an City was secretly making efforts.
Yan Shiyue's situation is more troublesome than theirs. After all, the other people have eunuchs serving them since childhood, while Jiaozi has never had much contact with eunuchs.
So Yan Shiyue entered the palace and took great pains to pick out a few men with flat heads and straight faces. He came back and asked Jiaozi to choose. Then Jiaozi picked four and named them Ye Jing, Yu Qin, Xing Cheng, and Yu Si.
Taken from: "Diligence makes perfect, play makes waste; thinking makes success, carelessness makes failure."
Okay, Yan Shiyue felt that this son was much more sensible than her.
After dealing with the eunuch, she went to ask Meng Min whether she wanted Yan Shimi to enter the palace, whether to ask for a grace and go in directly, or to go with Jiaozi as a study companion.
