Chapter 152 Concubine Chun plans for Yong Zhang; Concubine Chun is promoted to Concubine Chun

Then Yong Zhang is only one step away from the position of crown prince.

Thinking of this, Concubine Chun became more determined to fight for the position of queen!

Su Lian curled the corners of her lips unconsciously. She knew that as soon as the child was mentioned, Concubine Chun would ignore everything else.

"But the emperor values ​​Imperial Noble Consort Yongji more," said Concubine Chun.

"Well, Concubine Chun's daughter Yongji is still young, but your Yongzhang is different. Your Majesty has seen it all."

"You must also try your best to let the emperor see you. Your title of assistant to the six palaces is not for nothing."

Concubine Chun went to Xiefang Palace to pick up Yongzhang from school.

"What did Yong Zhang learn today?"

Yong Zhang hesitated and couldn't explain clearly, and Concubine Chun immediately raised her eyebrows: "Yong Zhang, you are a prince, how can you be so careless? How can mother still count on you?"

Yong Zhang was so frightened by her that he was shaking. He didn't know what was wrong with his mother today. She was usually the gentlest and had never been so strict with him.

When it was almost time for dinner, Concubine Chun brought Hongli his favorite dish, lotus duck.

Li Yu said: "Your Majesty, Concubine Chun is really thoughtful."

Hongli nodded and said, "This dish takes the most time to prepare. Let's go to Zhongcui Palace."

When Hongli and his party entered the Zhongcui Palace, they only heard Yongzhang's voice reciting:

The Master said, “A filial son serves his parents by showing them respect when they are at home, by taking care of them, by giving them joy, by worrying about their illness, by mourning their death, and by performing sacrifices with solemnity.”

Only when these five qualities are in place can one serve one's parents. Serving one's parents means not being arrogant when in a superior position, not being disruptive when serving a subordinate, and not being argumentative when in an awkward situation.

If you are in a superior position and are arrogant, you will perish; if you are in a subordinate position and cause chaos, you will be punished; if you are in a bad position and are quarrelsome, you will suffer war.

If these three things are not eliminated, even if one uses three kinds of animals every day for food, it is still unfilial.

Hongli walked in and asked Yongzhang, "Do you know what this means?"

"I know.

Confucius said that filial sons should serve their parents with utmost respect in their daily life at home, and with a happy attitude when providing for their parents with food and daily life. If their parents are sick, they should take care of them with a worried attitude.

If your parents pass away, you should take care of the funeral affairs with the utmost grief; when worshiping your ancestors, you should strictly follow the rituals and rules.

These five aspects have been done thoroughly and thoughtfully, which can be regarded as fulfilling the responsibilities of a child to his parents.

In serving one's parents, one should not be arrogant or overbearing even when in a high position, nor commit crimes or cause chaos even when in a low position; one should live in harmony with the people and not fight with them.

Those who are in high positions and are arrogant are bound to perish, those who commit crimes and cause chaos in the lower classes will inevitably be punished, and fighting among the people will lead to mutual slaughter.

If one does not give up these three evils of pride, disorder, and contention, even if one diligently provides daily nourishment to one's parents with meat from cattle, sheep, and pigs, one will still be unfilial.

Hongli nodded: "Okay, Yongzhang has grown up, I am very pleased."

"Thank you for your hard work, Concubine Chun. I know your feelings and I have always been thinking about you and Yong Zhang."

Concubine Chun lowered her head shyly and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I just wanted to help share some of your burden."

Hongli looked at the table. All of them were his favorite dishes. It must have taken a lot of time and effort to prepare such a large table.

He held Concubine Chun's hand and said, "You are so thoughtful."

On the second day, Concubine Chun was promoted to Noble Concubine.

She asked someone to invite Su Lian over to thank her in person.

"Fortunately, you reminded me, otherwise I still wouldn't be able to figure it out."

Su Lian smiled and said, "I just feel sorry for you. I have followed the emperor since he came to the palace. Moreover, you have brought up Yong Zhang so well. It would be strange if the emperor didn't see it."
