Let Chen Hen be stricter with Yu Jiujiu. After that, Yu Jiujiu practiced with Chen Hen again, and Chen Hen's methods turned out to be much harsher.
She gets up at 9 o'clock every day to practice. She has to run around a road in front of Shenwu Gate for half an hour, with heavy sandbags hanging on her legs.
After that, go to the archery pavilion to practice riding and shooting until breakfast.
She hasn't decided yet whether she wants to study medicine or poisoning, but Chen Hen asked her to go to the Tai Hospital every day after breakfast and follow the little medicine boy to identify herbal medicines and learn about the medicinal properties and toxicity of various herbs.
You can take a short break after lunch.
But after taking a nap, I had to practice with Chen Hen for another hour.
After that, I went to the library in the palace to read.
In the evening, after dinner, it was time to complete the homework left by Lin Jijiu in the study. The next day, Luluo sent it to Lin Jijiu for correction by him.
After going on like this for several days, Yu Jiujiu felt like a cow.
Although it was tiring and bitter, it was quite fulfilling. Jiang Youyou felt sorry for her at first, but seeing that she ate much more than usual, she didn't say anything.
Emperor Xuanping still didn't know why she practiced so hard.
Queen Mother Yin only told him that the study lessons were too easy for Yu Jiujiu, saying that Xiao Jiuer was so smart that she should learn something that interested her while she was still young.
Emperor Xuanping had always been proud that Yu Jiujiu was smarter than his peers, and since Empress Dowager Yin said so, he naturally had no doubts about him.
"Queen Mother, I came here today because I have something to discuss with you." Emperor Xuanping said with a bit of joy on his face.
"What's the matter? Just tell me." Queen Mother Yin sat on the soft couch and glanced at him casually.
"Ahem, it's like this. Concubine Shu is pregnant..." Emperor Xuanping looked a little shy.
"Concubine Shu is pregnant?" Queen Mother Yin raised her eyebrows, a little surprised, "Why didn't I hear Xiao Jiuer mention it?"
"Xiao Jiu'er doesn't know yet." Emperor Xuanping chuckled twice, "She has been so busy recently that she hasn't even seen Concubine Shu a few times. Of course she doesn't know. I only found out last night.
, Concubine Shu saw that she was tired and couldn't bear to disturb her, so she didn't tell her about it."
The Empress Dowager Yin was naturally happy that the concubine was pregnant.
But she looked at Emperor Xuanping's hesitant expression and knew that he still had something to say.
So he asked again: "Is this what you want to say?"
Emperor Xuanping immediately said: "It's like this. After Concubine Shu's pregnancy, she will have three children by her side. I was thinking that Zhongcui Palace is too small after all. I had promised Xiao Jiu'er before to build one for her."
As for the Princess Mansion, I see now that the two palaces next to Yanxi Palace and Yonghe Palace are empty, and there are no concubines living there, so I simply opened them up and built a Princess Mansion for Xiao Jiuer.
"We are starting to build it now. By the time the baby is born, the princess's mansion should be completed.
"When the time comes, let Xiao Jiu'er move to the Princess Mansion, so that Zhongcui Palace won't be overcrowded!"
When Queen Mother Yin heard what he said, she took a sip of tea.
She glanced at him.
He thought to himself, this emperor's heart is really too far gone.
Concubine Shu has now given birth to three children and is pregnant with another one.
The third prince, Yu Ye, was raised in her Cining Palace.
Concubine Shu now has Xiao Jiuer and Yu Susu by her side. She will definitely keep them by her side when she has another baby.
The emperor wants to build a princess palace for Xiao Jiuer, but he has to merge two idle palaces and only let Xiao Jiuer live alone, instead of letting Concubine Shu live there with several children...
Once this matter reaches the ears of other concubines, it will definitely cause trouble.
Even the ministers in the DPRK would definitely complain if they knew about it.
"Emperor, is this your own idea?" Queen Mother Yin put down the cup in her hand and asked in a calm tone.
"It was Qibin's father, Meng Zhengtao, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, who suggested it to me. However, I have already planned to build a spacious and comfortable princess mansion for Xiao Jiuer." Emperor Xuanping said honestly.
As soon as she heard that this matter was related to Qi Concubine, Queen Mother Yin knew something in her heart.
"The emperor seems to be using Meng Zhengtao very seriously recently." She smiled and said.
"Meng Zhengtao supervised water conservancy a few days ago, saving the people from a flood. He is a useful talent." Emperor Xuanping commented matter-of-factly.
"Then the emperor also plans to leave the matter of building the princess palace to Meng Zhengtao?" Queen Mother Yin asked.
"I do have this intention, what does the Queen Mother think?" Emperor Xuanping also knew to ask the Queen Mother Yin for her opinion.
"To build such a large princess mansion, and to build it for Xiao Jiu'er, the materials must be the best, and the building must be beautiful enough. After all, this is the place where Xiao Jiu'er will live before she gets married.
I only leave it to Meng Zhengtao alone, I'm afraid he will be too busy."
"What the Queen Mother said is absolutely true. However, it is the residence of the princess after all, so it is not a big deal. If it were supervised by other officials from the Ministry of Labor and Industry, I am afraid those officials would talk too much." Emperor Xuanping was a little distressed.
When Queen Mother Yin heard this, she glanced at him and thought to herself, he's not too stupid.
"Then the Ai family will recommend someone to the emperor."
"who?"
"Jiang Yan."
"Jiang Yan? Isn't that... Concubine Shu's eldest brother and Xiao Jiuer's uncle? But he is just a businessman and has no official position." Emperor Xuanping couldn't understand what Empress Dowager Yin was doing.
"Although Jiang Yan is a businessman, he is the son of Prime Minister Jiang. He is now taking care of all the affairs of the Jiang family. And you also said that he is a relative of Concubine Shu. Concubine Shu is pregnant now.
If he could see his brother from time to time, he would definitely be in a good mood. Moreover, he is Xiao Jiu'er's biological uncle, and he loves Xiao Jiu'er very much. With him keeping an eye on the construction of the princess mansion, it would definitely be useful.
With this information, both the emperor and the Ai family can rest assured."
Empress Dowager Yin gave her reasons, and every point was impeccable, "Besides, it is not an exaggeration to say that Jiang Yan is the richest man in the capital. Building a mansion for his niece can provide a sum of money, and it can also silence the mouths of those officials."
, lest they say that the emperor and the Ai family pampered the princess too much and spent too much money from the treasury."
After hearing this, Emperor Xuanping nodded with great conviction.
That's how things were settled.
It was only after Yu Jiujiu found out that the emperor's father was going to build a princess palace for her in the palace that her beautiful mother was pregnant again!
I want to ask the palace, who is the most fertile!
No, who is favored the most!
It definitely depends on who has the most children!
There is no doubt that this person is her beautiful mother.
Therefore, Yu Jiujiu asked Chen Hen for half a day off to spend time with his beautiful mother.
I just didn't expect that as soon as I returned to Zhongcui Palace from Arrow Pavilion, I would see Qi Bi and the seventh princess Yu Yaoyao coming to visit the beautiful mother.
The moment he saw the mother and daughter, a sentence suddenly appeared in Yu Jiujiu's mind.
——The weasel sent New Year greetings to the rooster, which was not a good intention!
