Chapter 4 Filial Piety

When Ji Shen was welcomed into the Chenglian Hall, Mu Biwei had changed into a sandalwood cross-collar wide-sleeved shirt. The sleeves were embroidered with bamboo-green silk thread and willow green silk threads to embroider lingering rattans and flower branches. The lower system was a red-colored tooth-colored skirt, with jade belt hooks, double pendants, and a flying fairy bun on her head. She shook Ding Dong, Cui Qiao Ran, and was Xiping, which was held by Mu's young mother, was dressed in an orange-red gold skirt, wearing a red gold hollow pearl ring around her neck, with flying beads, and a little cinnabar in her eyebrows.

Princess Xiping's appearance is biased towards Jiang and with the shadow of Ji Shen. Jiang was favored by Ji Shen as a slave. Needless to say, Ji Shen himself is the first person in the royal family in terms of appearance. Therefore, although Xiping is far from growing up now, he looks extremely beautiful and cute.

Ji Shen has no children so far. Gong Shi, who was diagnosed with a male baby last month, only had a minor birth. Naturally, she liked her daughter. As she walked into the hall and avoided everyone's courtesy, she bent down and picked up Xiping in person, looked at her face, and said with a smile, "What has Yutong done today?"

"When I returned to my father's words, I learned the words today." Xiping put his hands around his neck and said naively, "The mother said that my son is quite talented in this way!"

"Oh?" Ji Shen saw the post presented by another daughter, Princess Xintai. Xintai said that she was Xiping's sister, and the two were only a few hours apart. In terms, Xintai was pregnant first. Xintai's word has also been practiced for a few days. In the end, it is also crooked. At this time, Xiping boasted his talent, so he asked Mu Biwei. Go.

Seeing this, Xiping also looked at Mu Biwei with expectation, but saw Mu Biwei smile and said generously: "Yutong is His Majesty's beloved daughter. What is there no talent to learn? If your majesty doesn't believe it, just take Yutong's calligraphy to ask the Wenwu of the Man Dynasty. Who dares to say it well?

Her words were righteous and obvious that she oppress people with her identity. Ji Shen was not angry when she heard it. Instead, she laughed dumbfounded and understood it. She reached out and pinched Xiping's little face and laughed loudly: "Your mother is right. Naturally, my eldest daughter is the bell of heaven. How can she not be given?"

Mu Biwei thought that she was still thinking about how to speak tomorrow, but this was a ready-made topic, so she answered with a smile, "Your Majesty is no longer right. Your Majesty Yutong was born with the life of Jinzhi Yuye. She asked her to say it. Why should she learn from those old-fashioned and stubborn people to restrain her? Take good care of your body and live a happy life, so it's not in vain to be an empress woman!"

Her words really fell in the heart of Ji Shen, but Ji Shen remembered her tragic career when she was young and was watched by Gao Zu and the former emperors to learn the way of governing the country. She sighed, "What Wei Niang said is reasonable. My flesh and blood are also princesses. Why should I suffer them? Of course, you have to recognize a few words. If they are not interested in learning, you can't make them suffer.

"I'm going to thank Your Majesty for Yutong!" Mu Biwei naturally seized this opportunity and wink at Xiping, "Why don't Yutong thank your father quickly? This is your father's love for you. When you grow up, you should be filial to your father!"

Xiping didn't understand it at all, but she had always been obedient and said childishly in Ji Shen's arms, "Thank you for your love."

Ji Shen smiled and sat on the couch above the main hall. Mu Biwei naturally sat with her. Although Ji Shen smiled, it was difficult to hide her sadness between her eyebrows. Knowing that he must have known about Gong's, she was curious that he would come to her side now. , why are you still in the mood to laugh with Xi Ping?

I heard Lei Mo smile and make fun of it: "In the past, it was said in the palace that Your Highness was like Your Majesty. Because Your Highness is still young and a woman, the maidservants can only see a little. Now when you look at the appearance of Your Highness overlooking the whole palace in your majesty's arms, it is like your majesty in those years!"

Lei Mo was a first-level eunuch when he was Gaozu. At that time, Ji Shen was still young, but he was qualified to say this sentence. Mu Bi listened to it and looked at Xiping, but saw that she was boringly grabbing Ji Shen's hair and playing. The holy birthday was in May. Ji Shen has now performed the crown salute, and now wears it on her head. A purple and gold crown, and the long black hair scattered behind the crown. Xiping grabbed one after another. Her hands were very small, and there were still many that had not been caught, and she was very excited for a while.

Mu Biwei was afraid that she would pull Ji Shen and quickly laughed and scolded, "Yutong was about to stop. Lei Dajian said that you were like your father when you were young, you should not lose your father's face - do you have a comb in your hand? Why is filial piety so much?"

Ji Shen knew that it was related to her hair. Looking back, she was pulled. In pain, she didn't realize it. Seeing this, Mu Bi quickly took Xi Ping over and coaxed her to let go in a low voice. Lei Mo also quickly came forward to straighten Ji Shen's hair and straightened the crown.

Seeing that Ji Shen was full of anger, but she was a little unhesitant, Mu Bi hurriedly hugged Xiping and explained, "Your Majesty, don't be angry, but Yutong has just got your majesty's grace to do her best for your majesty. It was also because my concubine didn't make it clear to her. Previously, my concubine taught her filial piety, and later, when Yutong tied up for her concubine, Yutong She held a comb next to her to comb her hair. Every time, she praised her filial piety. Unexpectedly, she told her not to forget the kindness of her father. Without a comb in her hand, she thought she would do filial piety for your majesty.

"But how much strength can a child have? Yutong is also a piece of filial piety. Ji Shen originally felt a little disappointing. Hearing what Mu Biwei said, she turned to be happy. She saw that Xiping was a little at a loss and felt that she had blamed her daughter again. Her eyes softened again. She reached out her hand and hugged Xiping again. When she was in high spirits, she casually ordered Lei Mo, "Princess Xiping is young, but her filial piety is commendable. Yunxia Ruijin has ten horses, two sets of pen and ink, and then opened the inner library to take out a set of amber jewelry, and sent it to the internal division.

Mu Biwei never refused such a reward for Ji Shen. At present, she reminded Xiping to thank her kindness. She didn't wait for Ji Shen to speak next and said with a smile: "My concubine also thanked Her Majesty's love on behalf of Yutong. It was only just that my concubine found a porcelain bottle injected with hot water and a warm jade cicada for Yutong. Yutong had not received it. I asked my sister if she also had it. I heard from my concubine that You Zhaoyi didn't seem to go to the inner department to ask for it. At that time, I had to give it to my sister first!"

Speaking of this, Xiping is young and ignorant. She only thought that Mu Biwei really wanted to give things to Princess Xintai. She was only a few hours older than Xintai. Because of the mother of the two concubines, she had never met her. When she met, she was also surrounded by a group of people and was afraid of the loss of the other party. When it comes to sisterhood, this is only a three-year-old child. Zi really doesn't understand. Both the porcelain bottle and the jade cicada are what she likes. For a moment, her face turned red. Thanks to Mu Youniang, she is afraid that she is not Mu Biwei's own flesh and blood. If she is not clever enough, Mu Biwei will inevitably be negligent when she has her own flesh and blood, so she doesn't refute Mu Biwei's words. I didn't dare to object.

Mu Bi glanced at her and knew what she was thinking. She squeezed her mouth and smiled, "Yutong is so young. She was so shy when she was told by her concubine!"

Ji Shen looked down and saw that Xiping grasped the skirt on his chest and looked at Mu Biwei with a little blush, as if he was in a hurry. He couldn't help laughing and said happily, "Yutong is the eldest sister. She has the style of the eldest sister at such a young age!"

He also praised Mu Biwei, "What on earth is Wei Niang's teaching!"

"How dares my concubine make contributions?" Mu Bi's eyes turned slightly and smiled, "This is all your majesty's luck. Yutong is the blood of the emperor. Naturally, he is talented and intelligent, far more sensible than ordinary children."

Xiping was relieved to hear that the porcelain bottle and the jade cicada were no longer discussed here. Then he heard Mu Bi mention it slightly: "That porcelain bottle and jade cicada are just a play piece found in the inner department. Thinking about how many they are, my concubine told her that she would send someone to Anfu Palace to ask Princess Xintai later. If she likes it, if she is happy Huan asked people to send another condom, and Yutong took it.

Speaking this, Mu Bi smiled and said, "So, Your Majesty's reward to Yutong this time..."

As long as Xiping doesn't take away what she already like, she has no reaction to Mu Biwei's words. Ji Shen understood and smiled, "It turns out that Wei Niang is afraid of giving Xiping a reward but not Xintai, which makes Xiping uneasy? What's so difficult about this?"

Then he ordered Lei Mo to prepare a copy and send it to the prayer hall, and asked him to make it clear that it was Princess Xiping who asked for it. Mu Biwei took advantage of his order to restrain her proud smile at the corners of her lips - last time Ji Shen rewarded Princess Xintai, Sun did not be such a good person. After all, she still had a copy of Xiping. This time Xiping Thank you. Where will Xintai be less?

Ji Shen now has only two daughters, and they are of average age. Both of them have been promoted to princesses in advance. You Zhaoyi Sun and Xuan Huimu Biwei are both concubines who have been spoiled since they entered the palace. He does not lack such a little reward, so naturally he will not forget which one.

Mu Biwei interfered so horizontally, which was nothing more than using the words of the person who sent things to make Sun feel unhappy, in return for the words that Sun had to teach Xiping's old accounts in advance.

Although this hand is of little significance, although Sun's origin is low, she has always regarded herself very high because of God's gift. She ignores Princess Xintai's young age and keeps teaching Xintai calligraphy embroidery. In addition to this, she really wants to praise the people of Xintai religion - this is also because of Sun's birth. The heart disease of being slandered and attacked by the concubine and the previous dynasty, so she was not only unwilling to fall behind, but also her daughter.

Originally, the Princess Xintai she produced should be the eldest daughter. She didn't want the Empress Dowager Gao to suddenly take action. Not to mention her premature birth, Jiang Shi called Xintai as the second daughter a few hours late. Therefore, Sun was very worried. She and Mu Biwei had old grievances. After Mu Biwei raised Xiping, the resentment became deeper. The two sides fought back and again before, such as When the two princesses grew up to learn something, Sun certainly couldn't wait to start to help.

Mu Biwei disdains this kind of comparison at all. She is different from Sun's origin. The pastoral family can't be regarded as an official eunuch for several generations. She is also the first daughter of the first-partner who grew up in the palm of her hand. For this origin, some people praised her casually revealing her hands. The daughter of the Sun family is divided into this family. In the Ming era, even if you have the real ability, you have to bow your head in front of the daughters of the family.

The two of them teach their daughters, and their routes are naturally different.

Mu Biwei saw that Ji Shen really readily agreed. She thought that Sun's people who heard the delivery stressed that it was Princess Xiping's reward for Princess Xintai. With Sun's consistent pride since she escaped from birth and became You Zhaoyi, that face...

She suddenly felt in a good mood and asked with a smile, "Didn't Your Majesty deal with the government with Nie She people in the Xuanshi Hall these days? Why did you come here now?"

- Nie Yuansheng was the first one to be promoted to an important minister after Ji Shen's pro-government. However, he was really too young. In addition, he followed Ji Shen's faction and asked the previous dynasty to oppose it vigorously. Ji Shen was in charge of politics. In desperation, he had no choice but to raise Mu Qi as the order, making Lou Wangu the right prime minister - as for the left prime minister, Jiang and Ji ruled more In the year, there are really few people who can take over this position for a while. These are all born in song and high school. Although Ji Shen is greedy, he still remembers the instructions of the late emperor before his death.

The Gao family has had an empress dowager, and the Qu family almost had a queen. The two families are deeply rooted and powerful, and they have also produced a group of generals. They are very familiar with the Yecheng Army and Feihewei. Before his death, the late emperor Ruizong earnestly told them that they could not be like each other.

Ji Shen naturally refused to make them a match. In fact, the Gao family of the Qu family has also had this awareness for a long time. Now that the Liang Dynasty has only been established more than 30 years ago, they have also stood second only to the royal family. Although Ji Shen is not a wise king, the foundation of the Liang Dynasty is still strong, and it is not so easy to seek to usurp the throne. The two families are Ji Shen's intention and more inquiries were insisted on refusing to take office.

The Lou Wangu Ren Youxiang or the eldest princess Xuanning entered the palace. He looked for Ji Shen and said bluntly that he wanted to save some family voice for Lou Wangu - after all, he had done the right and didn't do it well. The Liang Dynasty has no war now, and the lost land outside the Xuelan Pass has not been able to take back for a while. What General Lou Wangu did is really aggrieved. .

Of course, Lou Wangu's ability to be the prime minister is not qualified. Princess Xuanning also saw that there is no one available to Ji Shen now. She talked to Ji Shen and asked Lou Wangu to fill the number while Ji Shen had not found the right person. In this way, after Ji Shen found the right person, Lou Wangu will find an excuse to resign - Ji Shen There is a reason to offer him a title. Well, it is a euphemism to save some family voices. Naturally, the real purpose of Princess Xuanning is to raise the title.

Ji Shen readily agreed to his sister's request, so the left prime minister was still held by Jiang and Ji Li, who was a few years younger, and Lou Wangu was just a name.

In this case, Ji Shen transferred Nie Yuansheng to a position, from the six-grade servant of Huangmen to the sixth grade Shangzhong Shushi. In this, he was promoted to half a level, but there was nothing to say in the court - the Huangmen Shilang was to pass the imperial edict, but the middle school secretary drafted the edict and classified the medal or read it first, although However, it is only a half-level promotion, and the importance is self-evident.

If Ji Shen hadn't planned to vigorously promote Nie Yuansheng after his own politics, so he would have given him the title of servant of Huangmen at the beginning, and this position would have been given to him long ago. In contrast, the Chinese scholar is not only half a level higher than the servant of Huangmen, but also more noble.

Listen to Mu Biwei's words, the smile on Ji Shen's face was suffocating...
