imperial psychologist

Chapter 382
What Sun Beiji said, Zhang Shouzhong really couldn't be more clear.

Why in the 24th year of Jianxi, the emperor personally ordered to open a special channel for the memorial mentioning Xuanxiu?In the final analysis, it is because there are too many brochures handed in every day.

For Emperor Jianxi, there were endless excerpts.

There are urgent issues that need to be resolved everywhere. When the former chief minister of the cabinet was in charge, important documents would be specially arranged at the front so that Emperor Jianxi could see them as soon as possible.

And the peace memorials or congratulatory forms will be suppressed at the bottom—although these memorials will also be sent to the imperial court, Emperor Jianxi's energy is really limited.

Sometimes the memorials of the previous day were not read, and the new day's memorials still had to be sent to the inner court.

As a result, some excerpts will never have a chance to see the sun again in the pile of old papers.

The courtiers have a special description of this - "the book is flooded".

"I remember that Song Bozong would write all the matters that need to be approved in a notebook during the daily recital," Sun Beiji said softly, "Since the emperor was unwell last night..."

"Song Bozong took the risk because he expected that the emperor would not read the entire chapter, so he included private goods in it," Zhang Shouzhong said in a low voice, "Is Mr. Ge always guessing like this?"

Sun Beiji neither admitted nor denied it.

He raised his eyes and looked at the meeting hall not far away.

"...Whether it is or not, we will know the details when the prince returns later." Sun Beiji said in a low voice.

……

In the small garden of Prince Gong's Mansion, Chen Yicong walked quickly with a brocade box in his arms.

The princess is also taking good care of her small garden today. The spring flowers are gone, and the midsummer flowers are gradually blooming again, so she will always have something to do.

"Mother Concubine." The boy called out from afar.

Zhen Shi turned her head and saw Shizi walking towards her, she was a little surprised, "Didn't you go to the Imperial College today?"

"My child has gone, but I really can't listen to the class, so I asked my masters for leave and came back first." Chen Yicong said in a low voice.

Zhen Shi was slightly taken aback, "You don't feel well?"

Chen Yicong shook his head, "When I came back yesterday, I forgot to ask my concubine about something. My son has been thinking about this all day, so I decided to ask now."

Zhen looked at the brocade box in his son's hand.

She handed the scissors in her hand to the maidservant, and then walked to the stone table with Shizi and sat down.

Open the brocade box - inside is the lotus hair crown that she personally put on the crown prince yesterday.

Zhen looked at it, and quickly guessed what the son wanted to ask.

"Grandpa Huang said that this hair crown has a history," the son looked at his mother, "he asked me to ask you."

Zhen Shi gently closed the lid of the brocade box, with a slight gentleness in her eyes.

"Why did my concubine ask me to wear this hair crown into the palace yesterday?" Chen Yicong asked again, "Whose hair crown is this?"

"This is your hair crown." Zhen said in a low voice, she raised her eyes to look at the prince, "the year you turned one year old coincided with a severe drought. manage.

"Your father and I discussed it and exempted you from the full-year wine. But thinking that it is your first year after all, I learned the customs of the common people, prepared some thin wine at home, invited three or five guests, and asked you to catch it. week.

"I finally put you down, and your grandpa came."

Chen Yicong listened carefully.

"You were very stubborn when you were a baby. As long as you wake up, you have to be hugged by me. Neither your father nor the nanny can coax you well, so I'm so tired..." Zhen Shi laughed, "That day, you caught the week , is also the first time your grandpa saw you—"

"See you for the first time?" Chen Yicong was a little surprised, "Didn't Grandpa Huang come to see me before that? Didn't you say that Grandpa Huang rewarded me with a lot of things as soon as I was born——"

"I haven't mentioned this to you. Because before you were born, the emperor asked someone to divination. According to the divination, your fate is very dangerous before you are one year old, and you will die if you are not serious—so during that time, Even your royal father finds it difficult to see you every day." Zhen said softly, "The main reason is that they are afraid that their luck will crush you."

"There is such a thing..." Chen Yicong laughed dumbly, "Do you believe it too?"

"Believe it or not is one thing, but none of us can afford to take the risk. Anyway, that day, your grandpa saw you for the first time," Zhen continued, "We all stood up to salute, and your grandpa Stopped it—he was probably worried that everyone’s reaction would surprise you, and he kept looking at you, wondering what you would catch in the end.”

"What did the child catch?"

"You didn't grab any of the things we prepared for you." Zhen lowered her head and smiled, "After you climbed to the other end of the red carpet, you kept staring at your grandpa. Your father was watching from the side. , I was so scared that I almost couldn't stand still... Fortunately, my eyesight was quick and my hands were quick, so I supported him."

Chen Yicong could almost imagine the scene at that time, and he couldn't help but smile, "And then?"

"Then your grandpa's face darkened, saying that the things we prepared were too vulgar, so the prince didn't like any of them." Zhen Shi said softly, "After he finished speaking, you just sat on the table and giggled, as if it was true. As if I understood what he was saying.

"Then, he approached and wanted to hug you—I was also terrified at that time, I was afraid that you would cry in public again, which would upset your grandpa, or make him feel that you were born with him -"

"Even if you are born, you should take it for granted." Chen Yicong said softly, "After all, I have never seen it before."

"That's the truth, but people's feelings are always unreasonable," Zhen said softly, and the memory warmed her eyes, "I just stood there watching, watching, and almost thinking Stopped speaking... I watched your grandpa lift you up and hug you on his shoulders - you didn't cry.

Mrs. Zhen said softly, "At that time, I suddenly felt that there might be some kind of tacit understanding in the world. Afterwards, Eunuch Huang also told me that he had warned the emperor before when he was in the palace. He is a particularly difficult child, no one would have thought that the grandpa and grandson would feel that they would be so attached to each other at the first sight."

Chen Yicong looked at the brocade box on the table, "What about the hair crown? What's the matter with the hair crown?"

"Don't worry, we're getting to the point," Zhen looked at Shizi, "just as I was relieved, you suddenly stretched out your hand—you grabbed this hair crown, which was wearing on your grandpa's crown at the time." on the head."

Chen Yicong was taken aback for a moment.

"So what I'm trying to catch is..."

"That's it." Zhen smiled, "We thought the emperor would be angry, and everyone knelt down to apologize; but he didn't, not only didn't he, but he laughed loudly, as if he was very happy. Later, he sent someone He sent this hair crown to the palace, and told us that he won it from the late emperor when he was young in a poem competition with his elder brother...so he seldom wears it and keeps it as a treasure, thinking that today is the first time he came to see himself A grandson just put it on on a whim.

"Yesterday's meeting was no small matter," Zhen looked at the son, "the power of the sky is unpredictable. After thinking about it, I let you wear this hair crown. In this way, even if he feels unhappy in his heart, he can always remember it when he looks at this old thing. Let's have a little tenderness from the past... After all, you are the child he watched grow up."
