Chapter 694 Concubine Song Shu's Thoughts
The more Xie Shang coaxed her with sweet words, the more doubts Jiang Fenghua had in her heart. She also relaxed her mind. Did Xie Shang want to gain some benefit from her?
It seemed like he was more beneficial to her. After all, he was the emperor. No matter what secrets Xie Shang had in his heart, what would it matter if she knew? She did not experience any of the eight sufferings in life, and she could still eat, drink and have fun as usual.
At this time, the eldest princess and the eldest prince were arguing outside the door: "Mother, father, get up, it's dawn."
Nanny Wang hurried over to stop them, "Little Ancestor, please don't disturb the Emperor and Empress' rest. It's a rare day off for the Emperor."
"The sun is already setting, and a day's plan begins in the morning. Father and mother should not stay in bed too late." Xie Zixuan slept very well last night, and she looked very energetic, not like she had caught a cold at all.
Jiang Fenghua quickly got up from the bed when she heard the voice. Only then did she smell the smell of alcohol on her clothes. Xie Shang's clothes also smelled of alcohol. She said, "We can't appear in front of the children like this."
"I asked someone to turn on the water for bathing and changing clothes. I want to take a bath with Ruan Ruan."
Jiang Fenghua hurriedly said: "No, you wash it yourself, I will wash it myself." Xie Shang was the wolf, she couldn't afford to offend him and could only hide.
After saying that, she was the first to go out, and saw Xie Zixuan, Xie Hongyou and Xie Hongyuan waiting outside the door. When they saw her coming out, they pretended to be pitiful and said, "Why did you get up just now, mother? We have already had breakfast."
Her face was full of smiles, and she kissed their little faces one by one, "Xian'er, You'er, Yuan'er, you are the best."
Xie Zixuan said, "Yue'er is up too, the nurse is feeding her, every time the emperor comes, the queen mother is lazy in bed."
Xie Hongyou asked, "Is Father bullying Mother again?"
Jiang Fenghua's face was full of questions. When had Xie Shang ever bullied her? Did they misunderstand something?
She said quickly: "From now on, mother will not be lazy in bed anymore. She will get up early to exercise with you."
"Can the Queen Mother box?" Xie Zixuan asked.
Jiang Fenghua then demonstrated two moves, causing them to look at him in admiration, "Wow, mother, you are even more heroic than Xiaoxue'er, Xian'er also wants to learn."
"You can learn slowly when you grow up. There is no rush. Just have fun now." Jiang Fenghua said.
Xie Shang came out of the bedroom, his eyes full of majesty, "When your father was your age, he had already started learning the basic skills. If you want to learn, your father will teach you."
Xie Shang wanted to hug Xie Zixi.
"Father, you stink!" Xie Zixiuan said bluntly.
Xie Shang glanced at Jiang Fenghua, who hadn't changed her clothes or bathed, "Your mother smells the same as your father, how come she doesn't stink?"
"The Queen Mother smells good, but the Emperor smells bad." Xie Hongyou said.
Xie Zixuan also nodded vigorously, "My mother always smells good."
After breakfast, Xie Shang gathered a few young generals to practice basic skills in the yard. Concubine Song Shu and Gao Qingtong also came with the second prince and second princess.
The two of them bowed respectfully with their children, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
The second prince and the second princess followed suit and said softly, "Greetings, father."
Xie Shang said in a deep voice: "No need to be polite!"
Seeing them coming, Xie Zixuan waved to them enthusiastically, "Ruirui, Huanhuan, come practice martial arts together."
The two were a little scared when they saw the emperor. Song Jing quickly pushed the second prince and said, "Go, second prince! Your father is teaching you martial arts." She wished her son could have more contact with the emperor.
But Xie Hongrui didn't dare and tried his best to hide behind his mother. No one knew what was wrong with him. Normally, he liked to play with them.
Xie Shang frowned slightly after hearing this, "The child is too young, just stand aside and play, there is no need to rush to practice, when he is three years old, ask a martial arts master to slowly teach him the basic skills."
Song Jing was slightly stunned and said in her heart, "Yes."
To Song Jing, it sounded as if the emperor didn't want to teach her son. In fact, Xie Shang was also considering the child. The child was too young and his bones had not yet grown firmly. Practicing too early would hurt his body.
She didn't understand, and naturally felt resentful. Why could the queen's child be allowed to have sex but her child couldn't? The second prince was also the emperor's child.
Gao Qingtong just felt embarrassed and said quickly: "I will take the second princess to pay respects to the Queen first." She knew that Song Jing didn't want to go because the emperor was there, and she would not miss any opportunity to let the second prince meet the emperor.
Gao Qingtong doesn't want her daughter to practice martial arts. It is enough for a girl to learn to be gentle, generous and decent. Why suffer that? She only hopes that the second princess can live an ordinary life and marry a man who truly treats her well. She doesn't ask for high positions or power, but only asks him to be good to her daughter wholeheartedly, so there is no point in learning such things.
It would be best if her daughter could read and write, know etiquette and be sensible. She only wanted her daughter to be ordinary, not too outstanding. An outstanding girl is not necessarily happy.
Gao Qingtong led the second princess away. The second princess glanced sideways at Princess Qian, her eyes full of envy. She also wanted to go and play, but was afraid that her mother would be unhappy.
Jiang Fenghua had just finished bathing and changing clothes when she saw Gao Qingtong and the second princess come in. She smiled and said, "Xiao Yanhuan is here."
"Huanhuan pays respects to the Queen Mother."
Jiang Fenghua helped her up and said, "Mother, we have some sweet cakes here. Do you want some?"
Xie Yanhuan glanced at Gao Qingtong again, and after getting a nod, she said, "I want to eat."
Jiang Fenghua asked Hongxiu to bring some candy cakes to the Second Princess and asked her to take the Second Princess out to play before saying, "Noble Concubine Gao, don't be so strict with the Second Princess. Children's nature is to love playing, and playing can make them happy."
Gao Qingtong smiled and said, "The Second Princess has been shy since she was young, and usually plays with the First Princess. Just now, I saw the Emperor teaching the First Princess martial arts in the courtyard, and I didn't dare to let the Second Princess disturb her."
Seeing that she was not fighting or competing, Jiang Fenghua said, "Just let the Second Princess get closer to the Emperor. The Emperor is also the Second Princess's father."
Gao Qingtong added: "The Emperor said that children cannot practice martial arts before the age of three, otherwise they will hurt their bones. I don't want the Second Princess to practice martial arts, just learn more words. It takes a lot of brainpower to learn needlework."
Lian Ye brought in fruits and snacks. "That's true. If a child practices martial arts too young, his bones will be deformed, which is not good for his growth. But Concubine Song Shu doesn't think so. She is taking the Second Prince to practice martial arts. It seems that Concubine Shu is teaching more seriously than the Emperor. The Second Prince is stronger than others, and he is exhausted. I feel sorry for him when I see him."
Gao Qingtong glanced at Jiang Fenghua and said calmly, "Concubine Song Shu has high expectations for the Second Prince. I heard that the Second Prince has to recite books every night before he can go to sleep."
Jiang Fenghua frowned, "She is trying to force the child to grow. Can the child withstand her torture? Don't tire the child out."
"As long as she doesn't feel tired, she thinks the child won't be tired either." Gao Qingtong sighed, "It's not her fault, actually."
Jiang Fenghua was puzzled, "Why do you say that?"
