Chapter 4 He is still just a child
The little mouth opened and closed and he slept soundly.
After practicing for nearly a day, I am really tired.
Zhu Youtang has never seen his silly son looking so tired.
Before it could walk, it was very active and crawled around.
The screams are much louder than those of ordinary babies.
When he can walk, he becomes the little bully in the palace. He is not afraid of anything and everything, running around and playing around.
Looking very energetic all day long.
I will calm down when I fall asleep. No, I am not honest even when I am asleep. I move my little hands and feet from time to time and always kick the quilt.
Zhu Youtang covered his son with a quilt again and let the palace ladies watch him carefully. He walked quietly outside the palace.
"You just watched the prince practice like this for nearly a day?" Zhu Youtang looked at Liu Jin and the others with calm eyes.
Liu Jin and the other three immediately knelt down and said with fearful expressions: "This slave deserves to die."
Everyone inside and outside the palace knew that Emperor Hongzhi had a kind and gentle personality and never punished indiscriminately.
But when it comes to the prince, His Majesty's only son at this time, they dare not take any chances.
“Hmph, the prince is fine, I’ll spare you this time.
Continue to protect the prince at all times. No matter who he faces or anything he faces, he must never let anything go wrong. Do you understand? "Zhu Youtang said solemnly.
"Yes, I understand. "Liu Jin and the others were shocked and immediately responded.
At the same time, they also secretly smiled helplessly. The prince's character sometimes does not even listen to His Majesty's words. How could they stop it?
But there is no other way but to do so.
“You said the prince is making rapid progress? "Zhu Youtang said.
"Back to Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince is indeed making rapid progress. The three servants have seen it with their own eyes. I am afraid that in a few days, His Highness the Crown Prince will be able to learn the thirteen Tai Chi poses." Liu Jin quickly replied.
Cao Youxiang and Cao Zhengchun nodded.
They witnessed with their own eyes today that His Royal Highness made progress every time he practiced.
There is no need for them to teach the essence of it. It is said that it is such a simple martial arts. He can just practice it and there is no need for them to teach it.
This is definitely a gift of extraordinary talent and extraordinary understanding.
Zhu Youtang's eyes twinkled. At present, it seems that Zhao'er's intellectual talent and perseverance in martial arts may exceed his expectations.
I hope Zhaoer can persevere.
Suppressing his heartache, Zhu Youtang turned and left without saying anything more.
Zhu Houzhao woke up early the next morning, feeling better than before.
I put on my favorite gorgeous clothes, wolfed down my breakfast, and couldn’t wait to continue practicing the Thirteen Tai Chi poses.
until evening.
Seeing that there were only a few more times before he could reach 100, Zhu Houzhao no longer even thought about eating and kept practicing.
Liu Jin and the others could not persuade him, so they could only report to His Majesty.
Not long after, Zhu Youtang came, "Zhao'er, why don't you have dinner?"
"Dad, don't disturb my martial arts practice." Zhu Houzhao shouted fiercely.
Zhu Youtang opened his mouth, closed it, and waited aside.
Just looked at Liu Jin, Li Guang and the others, ‘Is the prince okay? ’
Li Guang and the others looked at the prince carefully and shook their heads.
The palace became even quieter, with only the sound of Zhu Houzhao practicing martial arts, and others waiting quietly.
About half an hour later, after Zhu Houzhao finished typing, he felt that he had understood a lot of things.
My tired body felt much more comfortable and relaxed, and I felt more powerful.
Looking at the talent with joy.
Thirteen Postures of Tai Chi (Introductory: 1/200)
At this time, Li Guang, Liu Jin and others were all surprised in their eyes.
Prince, it seems that you are getting started!
"Keke, Dad, I'm just getting started. I've already learned the thirteen Tai Chi poses.
Am I good, right?" Zhu Houzhao laughed triumphantly and rushed towards Zhu Youtang.
Zhu Youtang reluctantly caught his silly son and looked at Li Guang. Li Guang, Liu Jin and the others looked at each other and nodded, indicating that the prince had indeed entered.
"Hahaha, it's awesome, my Zhao'er is the best." Zhu Youtang suddenly laughed happily.
At the age of five, he learned the thirteen Tai Chi movements in two days, and his understanding is absolutely rare in the world.
My Zhao'er really looks like Taizong!
He couldn't help but praise him a few times. Zhu Youtang accompanied Zhu Houzhao to dinner.
"Eat slowly, eat slowly, Father will give you some."
Father and son were sitting at the same table, with a total of sixteen dishes carefully prepared by the imperial dining room. Youtang personally served Zhu Houzhao with vegetables from time to time.
Zhu Houzhao just buried his head in eating, his whole little face was oily.
After he ate and ran away, Zhu Youtang waved the maid away, picked up the handkerchief and wiped his silly son's face.
Zhu Houzhao felt that his father's wiping was uncomfortable, so he skillfully pulled up the sleeves of his dragon robe and wiped it thoroughly himself.
Zhu Youtang had no choice but to let it go.
"Zhao'er, although you have learned the Thirteen Tai Chi Postures, you can't be proud in the future. You must practice the Tai Chi Thirteen Postures better and better, you know?" Zhu Youtang warned.
"Don't worry, Dad, in just a few days, I will be able to practice the Thirteen Tai Chi poses better than anyone else." Zhu Houzhao said confidently, patting his small chest.
Zhu Youtang would never try to expose his son, he was used to it.
Just smiled and asked: "What about the meridian diagram?" Zhu Houzhao's face subconsciously twitched, but without any hesitation, he shouted: "I will definitely remember it in a few days."
"Haha, okay, father is waiting for the good news about Zhao'er." Zhu Youtang said with a smile.
"Dad, just wait." Zhu Houzhao said confidently.
Without waiting much, Zhu Youtang went to Kunning Palace as usual.
"Has the queen eaten? I have already eaten with Zhao'er." Zhu Youtang said to Queen Zhang gently.
"I have already used it, has the prince started practicing martial arts?" Queen Zhang, who was favored by the Sixth Palace, asked calmly.
"Well, Zhao'er's talent is excellent, definitely rare in the world. Queen, you don't know-"
When mentioning his son, Zhu Youtang suddenly said with great interest, but still Without saying a few words, he noticed the calmness on Queen Zhang's face. He couldn't help but stop talking and sighed secretly.
After hesitation, he said softly: "Queen, Zhao'er has a pure heart. You can go and spend more time with him."
After a pause, he added: "We only have one son."< br>
Empress Zhang's eyelids moved, and she said a little aggrieved and angry: "I also want to spend more time with the prince, but the prince doesn't like me, what can I do?"
"Zhaoer him I'm just a child, how can I not like you for no reason?
Even if you are a little childish, just calm him down a bit," Zhu Youtang said sincerely.
"Your Majesty, do you mean that I have a problem with my concubine, so I don't want the prince to like her anymore?" Empress Zhang snorted, feeling a little more aggrieved.
"No, that's not what I meant." Zhu Youtang quickly took Queen Zhang's hand and said softly: "There is nothing wrong with the Queen, it's just that Zhao'er is just a child. We, as parents, It’s okay to coax him more, what do you think?”
“I understand, Your Majesty is right, I will coax the prince and spend more time with him.” Queen Zhang was silent for a moment and nodded.
Zhu Youtang showed a relieved smile.
“But Your Majesty, the prince has grown up and can no longer fool around like this all day long.
You see, he is domineering in the palace and has no regard for etiquette and rules.
Last month, he also said that the emperor loves his people like his own children, so all the people of Ming Dynasty are your children, that is, his brothers and sisters.
When a eunuch who had become a monk felt a little wronged, he directly contradicted me and wanted to beat my head chamberlain.
No one should bully his brothers and sisters for no reason.
When I told him, he quarreled directly with me and even took the eunuch away. I almost lost my face.
Your Majesty, how could I be such a mother-in-law? "Empress Zhang blushed as she spoke.
Zhu Youtang quickly coaxed her a few words and sighed: "Zhao'er is still just a child after all, and we don't have the same experience as him.
Of course, what he did was indeed wrong, and I will teach him a lesson later. "
"Your Majesty's lesson is to gently pinch the prince's face? "Queen Zhang's questioning eyes were undisguised.
"Ahem. "Zhu Youtang was a little embarrassed. He wanted to say something harsh and teach the prince a lesson, but he couldn't.
Because he can't do it.
Empress Zhang was once again disappointed. She calmed down and said sincerely: "Your Majesty, I know you love Zhao'er, and I love Zhao'er too.
As Your Majesty said, we I only have one son now.
But if you love your son, you can’t spoil him too much, otherwise it will be harmful to him.”
Zhu Youtang is silent.
"Your Majesty, it's time to find some teachers for the prince to teach him well." Queen Zhang advised again.
"I will consider it carefully." Zhu Youtang hesitated.
Queen Zhang wanted to say something else, but Zhu Youtang said, "I'm tired too, let's rest first."
Queen Zhang felt powerless and angry.
When he met the prince, His Majesty seemed to be a different person, and even she couldn't do anything about it.
It's simply pampering without a bottom line, it's too much.
Child, child, how can there be such a hateful child?
Another early morning, Zhu Houzhao got up in high spirits. After breakfast, he continued to practice martial arts with undiminished interest.
In less than a cup of tea, after doing the thirteen Tai Chi poses, Zhu Houzhao immediately went to see his talent.
Thirteen Postures of Tai Chi (Introduction: 2/200)
He nodded with satisfaction and continued practicing.
After practicing until noon and having lunch, Zhu Houzhao seemed to have thought of something. With a determined look on his face, he asked Liu Jin and the others to bring the meridian diagram and memorized it as if fighting.
Liu Jin and the other three were surprised.
The prince really loves martial arts!
Flash forward four days later.
"Keke, my prince is already young, isn't he powerful?" Zhu Houzhao said with his hands on his hips and a smile.
"Awesome, awesome, the prince is so awesome!" Liu Jin and the other three praised him.
More than six days have passed.
“Why do I feel that His Highness is practicing faster and faster!” Cao Zhengchun said in surprise.
“It’s not a feeling, it’s a fact. The Thirteen Tai Chi poses are easy to learn and difficult to master, but for His Highness, the more you practice, the easier it becomes.
This talent is truly shocking. "Liu Jin said solemnly.
"In a few days, His Highness will achieve great success. Once he has achieved great success and his inner strength is self-generated, he should choose formal exercises.
Report to Your Majesty. "Cao Youxiang said in a concentrated voice.
"Yes. "Liu Jin and Cao Zhengchun nodded in agreement.
