On the other side, Princess Yaoyue returned to Beijing and naturally brought her husband Zhu Qi and her twin sons into the palace to meet Emperor Qin and Concubine Shu in the harem.

I don’t know if the Zhu family’s secret recipe for having children had an effect. In recent years, the harem has seen frequent births of princes and princesses, with a total of six sons and four daughters.

Concubine Shu alone gave birth to two sons and one daughter, which shows her great honor and favor.

The fourth princess that Concubine Shu had just given birth to was mellow and cute, and she was the treasure of her heart. She already liked children, and when she saw the twins brought by Princess Yaoyue, she loved them very much and praised them repeatedly.

Comparing it with the two dead children she showed before, she felt a little disdainful.

"How did you raise them? How did you raise Cathay and Min'an so well?" Concubine Shu looked envious. She always thought that she was born in a famous family and was already good at raising children. The prince under her knees was also outstanding among the princes.

, but for some reason, he fell behind when compared with the twins.

Princess Yaoyue laughed: "How can I raise this well? It was Qilang who raised him. Qilang has a true and pure temperament and can play with children. He..."

Balabala picked out a few things about how Zhu Qiping took care of his children and told them to Concubine Shu.

Concubine Shu was surprised. She didn't expect that Zhu Qi could actually take care of a child?

Well, the way he raises children is indeed a little different from everyone else.

She had always known that the Zhu family had a special education system, but she didn't expect to see it clearly with Zhu Qi. It was also enlightenment. They didn't wait until the children were three or four years old before teaching them to memorize books, hold pens, and just sit in front of the desk.

.

It starts when the child can't speak and can walk.

Zhu Qi is also a father and a mentor. From literacy pictures to enlightenment pictures, to enlightenment picture books, to various small practices...

He doesn't just take his children to read in the house. He really takes his children around, seeing and touching them. It seems like a game, but it allows the children to come into contact with new things during the game, and they input things unconsciously.

into the child's mind.

Probably because of Zhu Qi's leadership style, Cathay and Min'an especially liked to ask questions about astronomy and geography, as long as they could come into contact with them, they would ask about everything.

As for Zhu Qi, he has read many books and can basically answer them.

Even if he can't answer, it doesn't matter. He will take his children to look up the information in books and ask people who know.

He is not ashamed to ask questions, is respectful and courteous, has a humble attitude, and sets an example for the children with his practical actions. Therefore, the children around him are like gentlemen, and are not ashamed to ask questions to people of lower status. In their eyes,

, everyone has something they need to learn.

Different from the "not ashamed to ask" the princes who taught them to condescend to their superiors, the children raised by Zhu Qi truly achieved what is called "the master is a teacher".

By simply staying in the upper study room for a while, the two children gained the love of all the masters in the upper study room, who looked forward to them entering the upper study room to study as soon as possible.

The neglected princes and princesses: "..."

Concubine Shu was thoughtful.

Of course, this is something to talk about later. At this moment, Princess Yaoyue looked at Concubine Shu and hesitated to speak. In the end, she could not stop herself and asked the people waiting around to get down. She whispered to Concubine Shu: "The ages of the princess and the prince in front of me.

The age difference is less than three years, right? You are too indulgent to the emperor’s brother. In any case, you should wait until the one in front of you is three years old to have another child..."

She knew that Emperor Qin doted on Concubine Shu, but since there was no queen above him, Emperor Qin could just prefer Concubine Shu, and it didn't matter to her. But because of his preference, Concubine Shu was always allowed to have children, and what should she do if Concubine Shu's body bones were broken?

Princess Yaoyue didn't know until she married into the Zhu family that the Zhu family would not let their daughter-in-law give birth to a child within three years. They said that the distance between them was too short, which would damage the mother's body and make it easy for dystocia.

Not only is it bad for adults, it's also bad for children.

So after the first one gave birth, he had to use birth control for three years.

After three years, another child will be born by chance.

If it weren't for the need to observe filial piety after the death of her two elders, Princess Yaoyue would have already prepared to give birth to a third child. No, after returning to the capital, she was ready to start preparations.

Seeing that Zhu Qi was so good at raising children, and Cathay and Min'an were so good, and she didn't have to worry about anything, she really hoped to have more children.

Concubine Shu's expression froze, and she embarrassedly explained to Princess Yaoyue that this princess was an accident. They didn't expect that they just didn't pay attention and got pregnant.

But I’m already pregnant, so I can’t let go, right?

This is the royal family, and there is no room for the willfulness of concubines like them.

The explanation was cryptic, but Princess Yaoyue understood it. She was immediately embarrassed and quickly changed the topic.

Afterwards, Zhu Qi received an imperial edict from Emperor Qin, asking him to serve as a tutor in the study room and teach the princes' sons and grandsons.

Zhu family: "..."

Wait, where does this come from?

Princess Yaoyue, who had guessed something, was both angry and funny. She asked her to show off her husband and son. Now, let’s get people to watch her, right?

However, Zhu Qi has never had a legitimate career, and he only works as a temporary errand in the Hanlin Academy. Now that he has a job that allows people to see his "ability", she is still happy.

After talking to the rest of the Zhu family, they started to guide Zhu Qi to make preparations.

Zhu Qi didn't feel much, it was just playing with the children. He liked "playing" the most.

Cathay Pacific, Minan's second treasure: "..."

Suddenly I felt pressure.

It seems that they have to keep an eye on their father from now on and not let him be "bullied" by others.

well……

There is no way, who makes their father too simple?

"Aqiu——" Zhu Qi sneezed, lowered his head without knowing anything, and continued working on his teaching plan.

Well, after he writes it, let his wife read it too.

…

Ye Yuran asked a few questions about Zhu Qi's career change and then ignored it.

He is now the father of the child, and he is protected by Princess Yaoyue. It is Princess Yaoyue who has to worry, not her turn.

In comparison, the upcoming exams for Dabao and Erbao made Ye Yuran more worried.

She was not afraid that they would not get good grades in the exam, but she was afraid that they would suffer in the exam room and get hurt.

I have been in this world for so many years and have done a lot of things, but this examination room has not changed much. It has always been like this.

The only good news is that with the addition of cement, the examination room has been renovated and is airtight and airtight. But it is still a luxury to be able to take exams in a spacious and bright classroom like Ye Yuran did in his previous life.

After all, the imperial examination is very important. Without certain technological innovations, the "single-compartment examination" will probably last for a long time.

In March, the spring chill is quite severe, and it is quite cold.

Fortunately, cotton-padded clothes are now available. Although cotton has not been widely used in large areas, with the improvement of Dayan's economic strength, most people can afford it. It is just a little expensive and a bit painful.

However, for such an important moment as the exam, you must prepare, no matter how expensive it is.

Therefore, almost everyone who came to participate in the examination this year had one.

The clothes were thicker, so the soldiers responsible for the inspection spent more time and inspected more carefully, for fear that someone might have brought a cheat sheet.

Unexpectedly, someone really took a chance and hid the cheat sheet in his cotton-padded clothes, and was found out.

Bing Ye lost his temper and threw the man out on the spot.

The person who made such a fuss was deprived of his honors and was not allowed to take part in the imperial examinations for life. It can be said that the gains outweighed the losses.

"Is he stupid? He has already passed the examination and cheated. Even if he did not pass the exam, he can still become an official through the selection process. Zhu Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue became an official through the selection process. He is now a second-grade official.

Official..."

"Who knows, I probably want to do better in the exam and think my name looks better."
