The concubine entered the palace and the concubine was very attractive

Chapter 196 Moral Education

Mao time, Yanxi Palace.

After Nanxiang woke up, she kept thinking about how to tell Gu Yuchen that Gu Junshen wanted to establish a crown prince.

As a mother, what Nan Xiang wants to avoid most is Gu Yuchen being hurt in this national war.

But as a prince, it was inevitable that his interests would be harmed.

What Nanxiang needs to do is to minimize the damage she suffers.

Moreover, he is still young and ignorant, and is very vulnerable to harm.

Therefore, he must have a process of acceptance before the imperial edict arrives.

Most importantly, she was not sure whether the Queen Mother would interfere.

After all, once Gu Yuchen is canonized as the crown prince, as long as nothing unexpected happens, the position of empress dowager will be hers in the future.

But will the current Queen Mother and Empress really be willing to accept this?

Or will the Chen family behind the Queen Mother and the Empress be willing to accept this?

Nan Xiang thought that if she were the empress dowager or the queen, she would never be willing to accept the fact that she had carefully planned for the position of empress dowager or queen for so many years, but in the end it fell into the hands of an irrelevant person.

In other words, there are still obstacles for Gu Yuchen to obtain the position of crown prince.

"Then let mother help you clear the obstacles and send you to the throne."

Nanxiang was secretly calculating in her heart, and her eyes were shining with an unprecedented light, like the brightest stars in the night sky, deep and powerful.

She knew very well that this was a war without the smoke of gunpowder, and what she had to do was to pave a way forward.

After a long time, she sat at the table and started to eat breakfast.

"Kikuhei wakes them both up at 7 p.m."

She spoke softly, already thinking out what she was going to say to Gu Yuchen next.

……

Chen time, Yangxin Palace.

Gu Junshen, who had just finished bathing, walked slowly into the study room, his steps solemn and dignified.

His eyes were deep and sharp, and his fingertips gently fell on the imperial edict that was placed in the middle of the desk and was about to be inked.

Writing the edict to enthronize the crown prince was an extremely sacred matter, so after returning to the Yangxin Palace, Gu Junshen ordered people to prepare a bath to wash away the dust on his body first.

Write your best self on this imperial edict.

The imperial edict in front of him was like a carefully crafted work of art, lying there quietly, exuding a faint scent of ambergris and the unique luster of silk. The material used for the imperial edict was the rarest and finest cloud brocade in the world, embroidered with lifelike auspicious patterns of dragons and phoenixes. The golden silk threads sparkled brightly in the sun, demonstrating the supreme majesty and dignity of the royal family.

He opened his hands slightly and carefully took the imperial edict out of the exquisite brocade box with a somewhat nervous mood.

Then, he gently spread the imperial edict on the desk. As the edict was slowly unfolded, a stronger smell of ambergris wafted to his face.

At this moment, Gu Junshen's heart was filled with complex emotions. It had been nearly twenty years since the previous dynasty had appointed him as the crown prince.

Recalling the nervousness and excitement when he first learned that he was named crown prince, scenes began to echo in his mind.

The competition for the throne in the previous dynasty was different from now. He had seven or eight brothers in the previous dynasty.

After he ascended the throne, he was also conferred the title of prince and scattered all over the place. Only Gu Jintang was relatively close to him, so he built a mansion in the capital of the Northern Dynasty.

At that time, he had to perform the best among all the princes in order to be noticed by his father.

After getting up at the hour of Mao, he would review his lessons. Every day he would be either in the study or in the martial arts field.

Now Gu Yuchen is lucky. He has no competitors at all. He became the crown prince naturally in accordance with the situation of the court.

Of course, at this time he also placed high hopes on the eldest prince Gu Yuchen.

This is not just a simple decree, but also a heavy responsibility and mission for the future crown prince of the Northern Dynasty.

Once this imperial decree is issued, Gu Yuchen's future study and life will no longer be simple, and countless eyes will be staring at him.

This is also the reason why Gu Junshen wanted to inform Nanxiang in advance.

Soon, the ink from the pen tip slowly spread on the golden satin-like imperial edict, forming lines of neat and powerful handwriting.

……

Soon it was already afternoon.

Liu Sheng slowly walked towards the study in the Yangxin Palace. Seeing Gu Junshen concentrating on reading, he said softly, "Your Majesty! The two young masters are here."

Upon hearing this, Gu Junshen kept his eyes on the book in his hand and said casually, "Biography"

He had already written the imperial edict to appoint the crown prince, and put it in the treasure box, waiting to announce it to the world at the appropriate time.

After a while, two young masters came slowly over.

They walked to the desk, knelt down and saluted, saying in unison, "Your Majesty, your humble servants pay their respects!"

"Both young masters, please stand up."

Gu Junshen quickly adjusted his sitting posture from lying casually to sitting upright.

He had a gentle gaze, a sparse brow, and his clothes were like flowing clouds. He held a book in his hands, looking extremely humble and gentle, dignified yet noble.

"I wonder why the Emperor called us here?"

"Oh! I want to ask the prince and princess how their studies are going these days."

After hearing this, the two tutors looked at each other, and then Tutor Xu bowed and said, "Your Majesty! The prince and princess are still young, and we dare not teach them too much. We can only start with the basic classics. Now they have finished learning the Three Character Classic and the Thousand Character Classic, and also touched on astronomy and geography."

Chen Taifu then added: "In addition, we teach 'history' and 'poetry'."

After the two men finished speaking, they didn't dare to look up and kept their heads down. They didn't know if this was too much. They were also taught according to what the princes of the previous dynasty had learned during their enlightenment, so it shouldn't be much.

After listening to this, Gu Junshen thought about it for a while. He thought there would be a lot, but after listening to what the two young masters said, it should not be much, and they are all basics.

I think the progress is too fast. The two children are still young and they need time to develop their ability to accept things.

"I haven't learned much. I'll slow down my teaching pace in the future. After all, they are still young, so I won't be too strict."

Gu Junshen reminded them softly, you have to know that they didn’t start their enlightenment until they were five years old, so they were six years old in age.

Originally, he wanted to follow the normal progress, but Nanxiang had already started to learn, and if he didn't teach her later, it would be a waste of time.

Now it’s faster.

Unfortunately, the two children are not yet at the normal age for enlightenment.

No matter how great the responsibilities are in the future, you must put in the corresponding hard work now.

The two of them were somewhat stunned. Thinking back to the teaching during this period, they were indeed much faster. Without thinking too much, they replied softly, "Yes!"

"Also, pay more attention to Chen'er's moral education!"

As Gu Junshen spoke, his eyes became more stern and warning.

At this point, most of the ministers should have guessed that he would enthrone Gu Yuchen as the Crown Prince, and now he is just informing them in advance.

The two young masters had been in the court for a long time, so they could easily hear the hidden meaning behind Gu Junshen's words. Their faces turned pale and their eyes became more serious and solemn.

You must know that if you become the prince's tutor, it will definitely be recorded in history books in the future, which is a matter of honor for the family.

The two were extremely excited at this moment, but they couldn't show it.

"We obey your command!" The two of them knelt down together and bowed to Gu Junshen.
