Chapter 622: People Flying Kites in the Palace in Winter
Nanny Wang whispered, "Commander Shang is the emperor's confidant. The Shang family has a high status in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Your Majesty, please do not offend him. You can win him over if you have the chance."
Jiang Fenghua was also polite to Shang Hong before he lost his memory. The fact that the emperor could entrust the safety of the imperial city to him only showed that Xie Shang trusted the Shang family very much, and she definitely could not tolerate such a family.
When I arrived at the upper study, I could only hear the sound of Master Jiang reading from the study. He was teaching one of the chapters in "The Analects of Confucius". A childish voice sounded slowly. It was the sound of Xie Zixiu reciting the book. She recited it very skillfully and fluently.
The next one was Xie Hongyou, who recited it intermittently.
Listening to the noise inside, Jiang Fenghua felt as if she had seen it before. Did she recite lessons like this when she was a child? She pushed open a corner of the window and looked inside. Jiang Huai had a serious face and sharp eyes. When Xie Hongyou didn't recite well, he even picked up a ruler and hit his little hand.
Xie Hongyou didn't dare to shed tears even after being hit with a ruler. His eyes were slightly red, and he looked like he wanted to cry but didn't dare to. He looked very pitiful.
The ruler hit Xie Hongyou's palm and Jiang Fenghua trembled all over. She intuitively felt that Master Jiang was a very strict teacher and she seemed to have been hit by him before.
There were two other children sent to study. They looked like they could not even sit steadily and had to rely entirely on the palace maids and nannies for their care.
Jiang Fenghua was furious when he saw this. Do all the emperor's sons and daughters have to suffer like this? Starting to study at such a young age is simply making the children suffer. Is Master Jiang also confused? Is he really teaching seriously?
At this time, Xie Hongyuan in the wet nurse's arms finally resisted and started crying loudly. He was probably because he had just woken up and Master Jiang disturbed him.
Jiang Fenghua pushed the door open and walked in front of Xie Hongyuan. Looking at her son who was as cute and ignorant as an elf, her heart almost melted, "Yuan'er."
The moment Xie Hongyuan saw Jiang Fenghua, his eyes lit up and unclear words suddenly came out of his mouth, as if he was calling the word "mother".
The wet nurse began to doze off after hearing this, and when she saw the queen coming, she quickly bowed.
Jiang Fenghua said: "Let me hold the Fourth Prince!"
Jiang Huai was about to call Ruan Ruan, but before he could say anything, he quickly asked, "Why is the Queen here?"
"Dad, you have been teaching and educating people for decades, how could you do such a stupid thing?" Jiang Fenghua said directly.
Jiang Huai paused, "Why am I so stupid?"
Jiang Fenghua asked: "Can such a young child understand what you are teaching?"
"How can you not understand? When you were still breastfeeding, you would cry if I didn't read to you. But as long as I read to you, you would stop making noises. When you grow up, you never need adults to worry about your studies. This method of your father is called training your ears. After a long time, you will naturally learn it."
"Look at the eldest princess. Isn't she a good student? In the future, she will study even better than the queen did when she was a child." Jiang Huai said again.
"Xian'er, do you like reading?"
Xie Zixuan nodded without hesitation, "Yes, my mother also likes reading, so I like reading. I always remember my mother reading to me."
"Does Xi'er like it because the Queen Mother likes it?"
Xie Zixuan said calmly: "Not entirely, Xuan'er also likes other things."
"What else does Xi'er like? Mother also wants to like what Xi'er likes."
"Fly a kite." Xie Zixuan said sweetly, "Mother, accompany Xiuxiu and Youyou to fly a kite!"
"It's so cold that you can't fly a kite. You can only fly a kite in the spring when it's windy." Jiang Fenghua said patiently, "In the spring, Queen Mother, can you accompany Xiun'er to fly a kite?"
"You can fly kites in winter, too. There are people flying kites in the sky outside. The kites will fly and disappear in a flash. I saw several kites flying." Xie Zixiu said.
Nanny Wang then remembered and whispered, "It seems like someone is flying a kite..."
Jiang Fenghua said, "Let's check it quietly when we get back!"
Jiang Huai said in a deep voice: "Princess Xian is just playing around and wants to fly a kite! Xian'er, you must study hard. This is what Master Jiang has warned you about." He would not let the children call him grandfather in class. He would call them Master or Taifu equally.
Xie Zixuan was also very obedient and stopped clamoring to fly a kite. "Xun'er knows she is wrong. When she grows up, she wants to be as powerful as mother. Mother knows everything."
"Xian'er doesn't have to be as powerful as the queen mother. Xian'er just needs to be herself." Her father must have regarded her success as a typical teaching material. She herself didn't even fully understand what kind of person she was. Seeing Xie Hongyou, who was originally lively and cheerful, become cautious, how strict must Master Jiang be!
Jiang Fenghua did not take the two children away directly, but patiently told them to study with Master Jiang.
In order to teach by example, she even took Xie Hongyuan to sit beside and listen carefully to Master Jiang's lectures.
Jiang Huai looked at his daughter, his face full of satisfaction and pride. The daughter raised by the Jiang family will be able to take control of the overall situation at any time.
He also got a lot of gossip. He heard that the Empress Dowager came to the palace and was very dissatisfied with the Queen, and hoped that the Emperor could protect his daughter.

At the same time, on the other hand, Song Jing was not allowed to attend the Queen's coronation ceremony. In fact, the concubines in the harem were even ordered not to appear in front of the Queen.
When Song Jing heard that the queen had gone to the study, she also wanted to go to the study to see her son, so she came to Changle Palace to find Gao Qingtong and tentatively asked, "Your Majesty, the Royal Concubine doesn't miss the Second Princess. Being called to study so early in the winter is really tiring." She wanted to see the queen, but she couldn't get any news from Kunning Palace.
"The eldest prince, the eldest princess, and even the fourth prince have all gone to the upper study. What can I complain about?"
Gao Qingtong knew that Song Jing was very dissatisfied with her, because her status and position were obviously not as high as Song Jing's, but in the end she became a noble concubine and even got the power of the harem. However, the queen came back and the power to manage the harem was handed over to her, and she should return it.
Song Jing felt very upset when she saw that her enthusiasm was treated coldly by others. For her own sake, she would not fight for anything, but Rui'er is also a prince!
If she didn't hope that he would be loved by the emperor, how could her mother bear to let him get up early and suffer that pain?
At this time, the maid who served beside the Empress Dowager came over and said, "This servant greets the Concubine Gao and the Concubine Song."
The nanny continued, "I am a servant of the Grand Empress Dowager. I am here on the orders of the Grand Empress Dowager to invite the two ladies to the Kangshou Palace for tea and snacks. The other ladies in the harem have also gone there, so we are just waiting for the two ladies."
