Daily life in the academy

Bai Zhi didn't know what they discussed, but two days later, she heard that His Majesty had returned to the palace. He first interrogated the Crown Prince and the King of Qi separately, demoted them to commoners, and expelled the King of Qi back to his fiefdom in Qizhou, never to return to Sheng'an City.

On another day, the emperor announced to the world that the fifth prince Yan Jian would be made the crown prince, and would move into the Eastern Palace after its renovations were completed.

Several consecutive imperial edicts made the people guess some of the inside story of the fire in the East Palace and the escape of the imperial guards not long ago. The people who had received favors from Yan Minghe refused to believe that he was also involved in the rebellion, and they came to the residence of Yan Minghe, a commoner in Yongpingfang, one after another to inquire.

It was just a small house with two entrances. You could see the end of the house at a glance when you opened the door. Visitors leaning against the door could only see a little boy sweeping the house. The saint-like prince in their hearts had never come out of the house.

Most of them came to watch the fun, and only a few of them were truly concerned about Yan Minghe. They would secretly stuff some small change into the room through the crack in the door. Those who had no money would take some food from inside the house and throw it in from outside the courtyard wall. After a day or two, few people came to the courtyard anymore.

A Yuan would always bring these things to Yan Minghe to show him, and say happily that everyone still remembers the master's kindness.

Yan Minghe just glanced at it and continued to look at the book in his hand without saying a word.

A Yuan didn't care at all, as if she was used to it.

That day, Yan Minghe brought Yan Yi back to the Eastern Palace, and took the opportunity to take a large bag of gold, silver and other valuables and threw it to A Yuan, asking him to escape from the Eastern Palace. Although A Yuan was young, he had seen a lot in the Eastern Palace during these days and knew that something big was happening, but he didn't want to leave his benefactor alone to face it, so Yan Minghe ordered Wei Yi to carry him out of the Eastern Palace.

Originally thinking that he would never see his benefactor again, he hid in Anguo Temple for several days, holding his belongings tightly in his arms. The monks in the temple thought he was a young man who had run away in anger, so a few days later, his family came to look for him, so he went with him and would bring him some vegetarian meals every day.

Just like that, he didn't know whether it was four or five days later, he heard people in the temple discussing that the crown prince of the current dynasty was involved in treason and was demoted to a commoner. Someone also saw him being carried into a small courtyard in Yongpingfang by the soldiers of the city defense camp. Only then did A Yuan become energetic. He ran from Anguo Temple to Yongpingfang without stopping, holding his bag, and scared the believers who were worshipping there.

When A Yuan ran to Yongpingfang, he looked every house, but only one door was open. The owner inside didn't seem to care whether someone would come in to steal. He walked in carefully. When he reached the innermost main house, he saw a familiar person lying on the bed, and suddenly he felt at ease again.

Yan Minghe also tacitly allowed him to stay, and thus the two of them, one big and one small, settled down in this small house in Yongpingfang. There was no struggle for power, and they only lived together day and night in a small area of ​​three feet.

...

Although Yan Yunrui had an acute illness due to anger, he recovered almost completely under the care of Doctor Hu. Except for being unable to walk on his own, he was no longer in any other condition. Perhaps he would be almost fully recovered after a period of further care, but he would not be able to return to his peak condition.

But for Yan Yunrui, it was enough. He only needed to endure for a few more years, and when Crown Prince Yan Jian was able to stand on his own, he could retire.

Doctor Hu has been temporarily summoned to the Imperial Medical Bureau. Although he is a little worried about the future, he is happy to be able to study medicine with some seniors. One day, when he came out of the Purple Palace, he met Yan Qingchen who came to ask for a meeting.

Doctor Hu was about to salute respectfully when Yan Qingchen stopped him. He only heard him ask softly, "Doctor Hu, how is His Majesty feeling today?"

Doctor Hu shook his head. "Your Majesty is testing the Crown Prince on his homework today. The Crown Prince seems a little nervous and his answers aren't very good. Your Majesty is currently scolding him."

Yan Qingchen nodded gratefully, "Thank you, Doctor Hu. You can go back soon."

When the two finished their conversation, Xiao Fuzi walked into the house to ask Yan Yunrui for instructions. After a while, Xiao Fuzi walked out quickly and saluted Yan Qingchen, saying, "Your Highness, His Majesty invites you in."

"Thank you, Eunuch Wang." Yan Qingchen nodded slightly and quickly stepped into the Zichen Hall.

Since Yan Yunrui returned to the palace, he let Xiao Fuzi replace Wang Changqing's position as the chief steward of the imperial court. He changed his surname to Wang and his name to Fu. In the past, Wang Fu also followed Wang Changqing to serve Yan Yunrui. Occasionally, he heard other eunuchs calling Wang Fu "Eunuch Wang", and he felt that Wang Changqing was still following him.

It can be considered as an idea.

After Yan Qingchen entered the hall, he really saw that Prince Yan Jian's eyes were red and he was standing in front of the table with a wronged look on his face. Upon closer inspection, he found that Yan Jian, who was already nine years old, was only a head taller than the table.

This head is a bit short. Perhaps in the future, I should let Xiaowu eat well and practice his skills so that he can grow taller. This thought flashed through Yan Qingchen's mind. The next moment, he bowed to Yan Yunrui and said, "Greetings, Uncle Emperor."

"Qingchen, you're here." Yan Yunrui looked at Yan Qingchen with a warm expression, which was completely different from the expression he had when he faced Yan Jian before.

Yan Jian pursed his lips and turned to look at Yan Qingchen with grievance. The latter gave him a soothing look and replied, "Uncle Emperor, Qingchen came here to discuss important matters. Your Highness, please let him go back to study."

Upon hearing this, Yan Yunrui said in a deep voice, "Prince, please think carefully about what I said today when you get home."

"Yes, father, I'll take my leave." Yan Jian lowered his eyes to hide his relaxed expression. After turning around, he could no longer conceal his temper and quickly left the Zichen Hall, as if there were man-eating beasts in it and he would be devoured if he was a step later.

Seeing this, Yan Yunrui sighed helplessly and complained to Yan Qingchen, "Qingchen, look at the Crown Prince's character. How can I safely hand over the world to him?"

"The prince is still young and innocent. When he grows up, he will mature."

Yan Yunrui waved his hand. "Forget it. Being too smart isn't good. Qingchen, tell me why you came here today."

Yan Qingchen knelt on the ground with a thud, prostrated himself, and respectfully asked, "Your Majesty, please allow me to lead the remaining 30,000 central troops to the north for support."

"You..." Yan Yunrui's expression became complicated. He sighed and said, "Do you know what you are talking about?"

"I know."

"Does your father agree? You are his only son. If anything happens to you in the North, how will I explain it to him?"
