Chapter 536 The Queen's Entrustment

Although Queen Zhang looks gentle and virtuous, historical records record that she is very jealous and lively and cheerful, which can comfort Zhu Youzhang, who grew up in the shadow of the palace struggle since childhood, so that the two of them have always been together and never left each other.

But Empress Zhang is still a very capable woman. Not only is she reflected in her husband's conscience, but she also has the rights she has won for her family, as well as her future assistance to Zhu Houzhao, welcome Emperor Jiajing to succeed the throne, etc.

So Chen Xi dared not underestimate this woman at all. She is very complimenting you now. Maybe she will scold you if she looks back and even punish you.

Queen Zhang smiled and said, "The Chen Qing family is good at learning, and now he is a lecturer in the East Palace. He has reached a high position when he is young. He is so handsome. He must be the favorite of the ladies of the aristocratic family in the future... Looking back, maybe Your Majesty will give Chen Qing family a marriage."

The queen will not care about the marriage of a minister for no reason unless the queen already has a suitable candidate to marry him, but Chen Xi has never heard of the Zhang family's daughter who is still to be married.

Chen Xi quickly said, "Go back to the queen, I decided to marry when I was a young man, and now I have married."

"oh?"

When Empress Zhang heard this, she couldn't help laughing, "That's why I'm doing this too much, but thinking about it, the Chen Qing family must have high expectations for the Qing family and hopes to grow up sooner. Now that the Chen Qing family has achieved success and fame, they can naturally enjoy all their gentleness."

Chen Xi responded timidly, and Empress Zhang said again, "The prince's studies have to be more troublesome to the Chen Qing family."

Finally, it’s time to get to the point!

Chen Xi knew that Queen Zhang should have something to say later.

Emperor Hongzhi just punished the prince for Zhu Houzhao's teasing Wang Xing. Now Zhu Youzhi's health is getting weaker and cultivating heirs is more important than anything else. The prince's academic performance is being put to the top priority. Now the prince is making a prank, Emperor Hongzhi has to comfort Wang Xing and other old lecturers to avoid their worries. Empress Zhang is responsible for summoning Chen Xi, a young lecturer who made the prince show his face.

Chen Xi bowed and said, "I must devote myself to my whole life."

Queen Zhang waved her hand: "It's not necessary to devote herself to her work, but the prince is now... too naughty. Your Majesty and the Palace want him to calm down earlier, but this child... was born in the inner garden of the palace, unlike the children of ordinary people. How could he understand the hardships of the imperial family?"

"I am not trying to make things difficult for the Chen Qing family. Among the prince's gentlemen, only the Chen Qing family is the best at my wishes. The Chen Qing family has the best to save the prince..."

Chen Xi saluted respectfully: "I dare not take it."

"There are some things that cannot be said to outsiders. The Chen Qing family is considered their own. When the prince was seriously ill, I felt that he was in love and wanted to let him go. In the end, the prince turned into danger. Others said that the prince was blessed by God, but if it weren't for the Chen Qing family offering medicine, what if he would be blessed again?"

When Queen Zhang said this, her face suddenly felt a little sad and her eyes turned red. Logically speaking, she, a queen, shouldn't have been so incompetent in front of her ministers.

Chen Xi thought to himself that this was probably a way for Queen Zhang to win over people, and she was very clever. Crying and complaining in front of him would make him feel that he was deeply trusted by the queen and he would work harder.

Chen Xi did not dare to make contributions to the medicinal matter, just like Xie Qian said. Emperor Hongzhi did not want to be publicized in this matter, so he would forget it if he got the benefits. The emperor would not remember your contributions because of this.

Queen Zhang made a move to wipe her tears and sighed softly: "Now Chen Qing teaches the prince to study, but he is unbearable and openly plays with fire in class. Chen Qing's family should always mention something, just like an ordinary child. If you don't study hard, you will scold him and beat him when you should. You can't be forgiven because he is the prince."

"The Chen Qing family came from an ordinary family. You should know the way that teachers discipline students. Only strict teachers can produce high disciples. Can the Chen Qing family understand?"

To be honest, Chen Xi really doesn't know the purpose of Queen Zhang's words.

He said he could beat and scold, but this was not the original intention of Queen Zhang. Chen Xi knew how much Queen Zhang was, and even she couldn't bear to let her do it, but she asked her husband to beat her, which was obviously not right.

Chen Xidao: "I think that if you want to teach the prince well, beating and scolding is not advisable."

"oh?"

Queen Zhang was indeed interested immediately.

Perhaps the explanation of "The Huangjing Tiaozi has a good person" was written by Zhu Youzhang, and it belongs to the content she had to explain to Chen Xi, but she was unwilling to do so, "Let's talk about it, let's listen to Chen Qing's family."

Chen Xi said seriously: "I think the prince is talented and intelligent, and is more talented than the children of ordinary people. It is just that God has given the prince intelligence, but the prince has not used it in the learning path. It is better to focus on enlightenment."

Queen Zhang shook her head and smiled bitterly: "If you can enlighten me, why should you let Your Majesty worry about me?"

Chen Xidao: "The prince is active by nature, but he is not naughty. The reason why the prince does not study hard is all due to the indulgence of the people around him. If the queen removes all the people serving the prince and leaves the prince alone, it may change the prince's personality."

"Um?"

Queen Zhang didn't understand Chen Xi's words, "Remove the prince's servant, who will take care of the prince's daily life?" She lives in Kunning Palace and wished she could go to the East Palace to visit her son every day, but after all, Zhu Houzhao was already out of the house and had to live in the house like an adult, and then receive various imperial education.

Until now, Empress Zhang felt that there were fewer people around the prince to take care of him, but Chen Xi said that she could not accept the removal of the attendants from the Eastern Palace.

Chen Xi thought to himself, your son is naughty, it was your parents who spoiled him... You removed the people around him and saw who he played with on weekdays? When he felt it was boring to be alone, wouldn't he have to go to school obediently?

Chen Xidao: "You can find one or two old palace maids to take care of you."

If a few old eunuchs were sent over there, these old eunuchs would be extremely smart. Wei Gu would definitely continue to try every means to coax the prince to play, but if a few old palace maids were replaced, even if they were willing, they would not have the energy or physical strength.

Queen Zhang thought about it and did not directly refuse, but obviously she thought it was inappropriate.

Queen Zhang's face looked a little serious. At this point, she felt that there was no need to hiding the purpose of summoning Chen Xi again:

"During the Chen Qing family, the prince's academic performance is important, but morality is the foundation of self-cultivation. Yesterday, the prince suddenly rude to Mr. Wang, do you know?"

Chen Xi thought to himself, is this going to criticize me? He replied now: "I have heard of it?"

Queen Zhang said: "Mr. Wang, the general, said you were not right in front of His Majesty. He thought you could only teach the prince to have fun. He first talked about urging weaving and then introduced Cuju. The prince has been addicted to Cuju these days. In the long run, I am afraid that he would not want to learn. Chen Qing's family, since you are a minister, you can't always teach him how to have fun in order to coax the prince!"

Can Chen Xi feel the blame in Queen Zhang's tone? Is this the first thing I can do is give herself a sweet date and then a stick? Chen Xi responded timidly.

Queen Zhang smiled, "But I can understand the Chen Qing family. You are not old. I think you have had the same situation as the prince when you were a child. It is just that the Chen Qing family is strict, so you will not go astray. But the prince is different from the children of ordinary families. If the Chen Qing family is willing to teach them all their knowledge, the prince will definitely do something in the future..."

After all, it was all about the prince's academic issues. Chen Xi felt that Queen Zhang clearly had something to say.

Perhaps the queen felt that the reason why he could teach the prince a few lessons was that he had a high talent and had a high level of learning. Since then, the prince has been unable to keep his studies, but because he deliberately hid his knowledge. Chen Xixin said that this was really unfair to me. I just taught the prince in a stereotyped way according to Wang Yang's instructions. As for whether he could learn well or not, it was not the question of the prince's understanding, but whether the prince was willing to learn it.

Chen Xidao: "I should do my best."

At this time, there was nothing more to say than to express his attitude.

Queen Zhang said for a while and was a little tired. After taking a sip of tea, a palace maid came in and reported: "Empress, the old lady, please come over..."

In the palace, there is no title of "Old Lady", but Chen Xi knew that the old lady mentioned by the palace maid was Queen Zhang's biological mother. After Zhang Luan died, Queen Zhang was afraid that her mother would be lonely at home, so she took her mother to the palace to live, as if she treated her mother as the empress dowager.

"knew."

Queen Zhang stood up, looked at Chen Xi, but sighed again, as if she was not satisfied with Chen Xi's response. Finally, she just told her to ask several eunuchs to help Chen Xi deliver the gift to the palace gate, and she surrounded the palace maids to see her mother.

After asking about the name of the neighborhood where Chen Xi lived, several eunuchs accompanied Chen Xi from Donghuamen and went out of the palace from the east.

There was a special eunuch in front of him, and several eunuchs holding gifts followed behind him. Chen Xi always wanted to find an opportunity to say something to Shen Ming, but he couldn't find an opportunity. Until he left Dong'anmen, several eunuchs wanted to put the gift down and return to the palace, but looked around and found that Chen Xi came to the palace alone and could not take the gift away at all.

"Oh, it's a big trouble now. The things that the queen rewards cannot be placed on the ground at will. That's very disrespectful! Come and find a carriage for Lord Shen and help Chen Xi take the things back to the house."

It was a dream to rent a carriage near the palace. The eunuchs were busy. Chen Xi wanted to take the opportunity to say something to Shen Mingyou, but Shen Mingyou did not give him a chance.

Chen Xi probably understood.

I guess Shen Ming is different from the past and feels that he has no beauty to see the Shen family again. Even if he knows that Chen Xi is now the top scorer in high school, he has no idea to contact Chen Xi.

Chen Xi did not force it. Since Shen Mingyou pretended to be nothing, it would be inappropriate for him to force it again... Since he entered the palace, Shen Mingyou must have been purged. Now Chen Xi is a man with a family and a family, so he naturally knows how miserable the man who castrated is! I just don’t know whether Shen Mingyou took the initiative or passively accepted the fate of entering the palace to be a eunuch?

If you are forced, that's really miserable!

"Hao Shouning is here? Pay my respects to the marquis."

Just as Shen Xi was waiting for the eunuch at the gate of the palace to look for the carriage, Zhang Heling took a big stroll outside Dong'anmen. When he saw Chen Xi, Zhang Heling smiled and bowed: "Shen Zhongyun entered the palace to teach the prince?"

Chen Xi could not say that the queen invited him, but this day was not the day when he taught the prince. He could only bow his hands and bow, but did not answer Zhang Heling's question.

Zhang Heling looked at the gifts in the hands of the eunuchs, probably understood something, smiled slightly, with a little arrogance and complacent smile, and then went into the palace. Chen Xi shook his head slightly and looked at him sideways, but saw Shen Ming looking at Zhang Heling's back with a bit of hatred in his eyes.

Could it be that the consequences of the second uncle’s current situation were caused by Zhang Heling?

However, an old eunuch next to him was still laughing and muttering: "Marquis Shouning has entered the palace again. Who can be so kind to the uncle of the Ming Dynasty? This palace gate is like his own home. Every time the Marquis enters the palace, I will inevitably have the benefits!"
