Chapter 305: Zhu Xiongying Fell Ill, Zhu Biao Was Unaware [Please Subscribe, Please Subscribe]
After watching "A Play on the Ming Dynasty" from the Agricultural College, all the princes including Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, and Zhu Di returned to their respective palaces.
After all, with the unheard-of emperor selection system of "prince going to the county", they had to discuss it carefully with their respective aides and ministers and formulate a general response plan, so that they could feel at ease.
Prince Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma who were also going to the East Palace beside him, and couldn't help but smile bitterly:
"Dad, Mom, what are you doing?!"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao and snorted coldly:
"Let's go see our eldest grandson, it's none of your business!!!"
Zhu Biao's expression became even more helpless and he said:
"Dad, that was just a drama that couldn't be taken seriously. Madam Lu will treat Ying'er well."
However, Zhu Biao's words did not reassure Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma.
Queen Ma shook her head and said:
"Yes or no, I'll find out later by asking Qingluan. -"
Qingluan is the maid she sent to Zhu Xiongying to take care of Zhu Xiongying. If there is anyone who knows Zhu Xiongying's situation best, it must be Qingluan.
Hearing what Empress Ma said, Zhu Biao had no choice but to shake his head and smile bitterly.
After returning to the East Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma didn't even think of going to the main hall to sit for a while, so they asked Zhu Biao to take them directly to the dormitory where Zhu Xiongying lived.
It's just that Zhu Biao is usually busy with government affairs and has little time to take the initiative to see Zhu Xiongying. Zhu Xiongying occasionally comes to see him, but he is quickly disturbed by Lu.
If calculated carefully, Zhu Biao had not been to Zhu Xiongying's dormitory for almost a year and a half, and for a while he actually forgot which dormitory Zhu Xiongying lived in.
Seeing that Zhu Biao didn't even know where his own son's bedroom was, if he hadn't cared about Zhu Biao being the prince and wanted to save some face for Zhu Biao, Zhu Yuanzhang would have wanted to beat Zhu Biao at this moment.
However, although they did not take action against Zhu Biao, Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma both looked at Zhu Biao with a little more dissatisfaction.
Obviously, let’s not talk about how Lu treated Zhu Xiongying, but now Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma can be sure that Zhu Biao, as a father, does not care enough about Zhu Xiongying!!!
Fortunately, there were chambermaids and maids everywhere in the East Palace. I randomly found a chambermaid to lead the way and brought Zhu Yuanzhang, Queen Ma and Zhu Biao to Zhu Xiongying's bedroom.
As soon as he arrived at the door of Zhu Xiongying's dormitory, a maid came out in a hurry and almost bumped into Queen Ma and others.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, slave...empress?!!"
The maid had already lowered her head and apologized repeatedly. However, when she looked up and saw Queen Ma, a look of surprise suddenly flashed across her face, and she immediately knelt down and saluted:
"My slave, please give your regards to your majesty! Please give your regards to your empress! Please give your regards to your highness, the prince!"
Empress Ma raised her hand to show off her courtesy, looked at the maid in front of her, and said kindly:
"Qingluan, where are you going in such a hurry?!!"
The maid in front of her was Qingluan, the maid she sent to take care of Zhu Xiongying.
Upon hearing Queen Ma's question, Qingluan immediately said respectfully:
"This slave is preparing to prepare medicine for His Highness."
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of both Queen Ma and Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly darkened, and Zhu Biao's brows furrowed even more.
"Decoction?! What kind of medicine?!! What happened to Ying'er?!!"
Before Queen Ma could speak, Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a majestic look.
"Back to Your Majesty, Your Highness has caught wind and cold, so he is ill. The imperial doctor has prescribed some medicine."
Qingluan replied without daring to raise his head.
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to continue asking, but was interrupted by Queen Ma, who signaled that they were still at the door.
Then, Queen Ma looked at a maid beside her and said:
"Azure Lotus, help Qingluan prepare the medicine."
"Let's go in and talk.
Immediately, Queen Ma was wearing a narrow-sleeved official robe, and a maid named Azure Lotus stepped forward and took the medicine bag from Qingluan's hand.
After carefully asking and remembering the corresponding precautions, Azure Lotus took the medicine bag and asked the waiter from the East Palace to take her to the pharmacy to boil the medicine.
In the dormitory, Zhu Xiongying was sleeping, but because of the cold, his face was burning red, which made him look cute, but also more distressing.
Empress Ma touched her eldest grandson's somewhat hot forehead with a distressed look on her face, and returned to the outer hall after a while.
"Didn't I ask you to take good care of Yinger?!!"
"Why did Ying'er still catch the cold?!"
Queen Ma frowned slightly and looked at Qingluan, Ande, and Nullah who were kneeling in front of her.
Among them, Qingluan and Ande were the maids and chamberlains she sent to take care of Zhu Xiongying.
Mingqu was Chang's original dowry maid. She was originally responsible for taking care of Chang, but after Chang died of illness, she was arranged to take care of Zhu Xiongying.
"The imperial doctor said that His Highness fell ill due to excessive mental exertion and tiredness. Coupled with the heavy spring cold and dew at night, His Highness fell ill accidentally.
Qingluan replied with a look of fear.
Queen Ma frowned even more and her tone became a little more serious:
"Excessive mental exhaustion?! Why excessive mental exhaustion?!!"
"There is also a heavy spring cold and dew at night. Is it possible that Ying'er's place is still short of firewood for the stove at night?!!"
Hearing Empress Ma's further inquiry, Qingluan, Ande, and Nuanqu all quietly raised their heads and glanced at Zhu Biao. After a while, Ande finally said in a somewhat cryptic manner:
"Because the Crown Princess has to memorize His Highness's homework every day recently. If he can't memorize it, His Highness will be asked to copy it dozens of times for her to check.
"So in order to memorize your homework, Your Highness will memorize it until very late every night before going to bed. The servants and others have also advised Your Highness to go to bed early."
"But His Highness doesn't want to, and the servants and the others don't have a calendar."
"Your Highness woke up yesterday morning with a cold."
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma both had a look of anger on their faces.
Zhu Biao couldn't help but said:
"Yinger is enlightened?!!"
"How come you don't know about such a big thing?!"
At the end, Zhu Biao couldn't help but ask!
Enlightenment is the stage when children officially start learning.
Generally speaking, children's initiation time is after the age of five, and most of them start from the age of six or seven.
Even the descendants of the royal family are no exception to this point.
For example, Zhu Xiongying has just celebrated the New Year and is only six years old now.
Although I have reached the age of enlightenment, I will not become enlightened so quickly.
Because Zhu Xiongying is the eldest grandson of the emperor no matter what, and is currently the most distinguished person among the third-generation descendants of the Ming Dynasty.
His enlightenment education and achievements will even be recorded in the history books!!!
Therefore, it can be said that the choice of Zhu Xiongying's first teacher must be done carefully.
............
Because this is very likely to involve the education of the future third generation emperor of Ming Dynasty!!!
Therefore, in order to provide Zhu Xiongying with the best first-year education, Zhu Biao has been carefully selecting suitable first-year teachers with sufficient ability and noble moral character.
But Zhu Biao never expected that while he was still selecting a teacher for Zhu Xiongying, Zhu Xiongying had already started to teach him?!
What's more important is that Zhu Xiongying didn't tell him about such a big thing as his enlightenment?!
Does his mother-in-law still have eyes for him as the prince?!!
Hearing Zhu Biao's shout, Qingluan's trembling voice sounded:
"No...no...it doesn't count as enlightenment. It means that the Crown Princess specifies three or five pages of the contents of the "Four Books and Five Classics" every time, and asks us to come back and teach His Highness how to recite and write from memory."
"Then the next day, the Crown Princess slapped His Highness on her back again, saying that it was to familiarize His Highness in advance and prepare for his studies after enlightenment, so as to leave a good impression on the husband.
Hearing this is not enlightenment, but just familiarity in advance. The eyes of both Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma became cold.
0....
People at different stages have different educational methods and educational contents.
Children like Zhu Xiongying who have not yet begun to learn literacy, that is, who have not formally read and literate, should be taught literacy and writing at the beginning, and during this teaching process, they should be as interesting and easy to understand as possible.
Only in this way can children's interest be attracted, and children will be willing to listen and learn.
However, if the reading, memorizing, and dictation are extremely boring, boring, and boring from the beginning, it will easily arouse the child's rebellious psychology.
As a result, children become unwilling to learn, and even become a little disgusted with learning.
In this regard, the former King of Qi Zhu Shu is an example of this.
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma, who had brought up King Zhu Bo of Qi, both understood this truth. Likewise, Zhu Biao, who had helped Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma take care of King Zhu Bo of Qi, also understood this truth.
But now, Zhu Xiongying has not yet officially initiated his enlightenment, so he has been asked to recite and write down the contents of the "Four Books and Five Classics" directly.
In the eyes of Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma, they were no less than deliberately trying to force Zhu Xiongying to hate studying!!!
And if Zhu Xiongying really doesn’t like studying, is such Zhu Xiongying really qualified to take over Zhu Biao’s position in the future?!!
And if Zhu Xiongying is not qualified to take over Zhu Biao's position, then who can get the greatest benefits?!!
Who can replace Zhu Xiongying and take over Zhu Biao’s position?!
All this seems to be self-evident.
Zhu Biao took a deep breath, looked at Qingluan and asked:
“Why didn’t anyone inform me about Ying’er’s illness?!!”
Qingluan raised his head and glanced at Zhu Biao timidly, and then hesitantly said:
"Yesterday, I wanted to report this matter to His Highness the Crown Prince, but the Crown Princess said that you are busy with state affairs and there is no need to disturb you with such a small matter. She only needs to know that it will be fine. Let the imperial doctor prescribe some medicine and you will be fine."
Zhu Biao's face immediately froze, and Queen Ma and Zhu Yuanzhang's expressions were as gloomy as water.
