Chapter 188 The Maid Who Married in Place 22
The child born by Sirong was named Li Chenxi by Prince Duan.
Chen Xi is like the rising sun, gentle and full of hope. Even after going through hardships, there is still warmth and light in his heart.
When he knew this name, the happiest person was Muchen. Now when he saw Prince Duan, he felt a little more favorable to him.
Chenxi and Muchen, both of their names contain the character "Chen".
When little Chenxi was 7 years old, he was specially approved by the old emperor to study in the Shangshufang with his princes and grandchildren every day.
Muchen has been by the old emperor's side for many years, working as a compiler. The old emperor wanted to promote him several times, but he refused.
By the time little Chenxi entered the upper study to start his studies, Muchen also successfully made his way into the upper study and took on the task of enlightening these young princes.
How to say it, with Muchen's current official position, he is not qualified to be the Grand Protector or the Junior Protector.
Only high-ranking officials of the imperial court are qualified to sit in this position.
But this did not prevent him from going to the study to teach and answer questions for little Chenxi.
After all, although Muchen's position is low, doesn't the Prince's Guardian also need some assistants to help him?
What's more, the old emperor has great trust in him.
In the old emperor's eyes, Muchen was just a bookworm who had become stupid through studying.
He has been given several opportunities for promotion before. After a few years, he can be promoted if he improves his performance.
But Muchen argued so happily and was not moved at all.
Fortunately, Muchen has no ambition to be in the officialdom. If he wants to teach in the study, then he can go and teach.
They won't form cliques or seek to rely on the prince to place their bets.
The princes and grandchildren who are currently studying in the upper study room have no chance to compete for the throne, simply because they are too young.
The princes who had the opportunity to be selected as the crown prince are now in the court and have received their respective tasks.
During the day, Xiao Chenxi went to the study room to study, and Muchen taught him all kinds of knowledge. In addition to the six arts of a gentleman, there were also many ways to behave.
And his views on the situation in the court.
In addition, Muchen also taught him mathematics, astronomy, geography and other miscellaneous subjects that were not valued in this dynasty.
When he returned home in the evening, his loving mother Sirong took care of his food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Although Li Chenxi was a posthumous child, with the existence of Mu Chen, and the relationship between them like a teacher and a father, Li Chenxi did not feel that he was any different from other children of aristocratic families.
On the contrary, he received more favoritism than those who had both parents.
Fortunately, with the guidance of Sirong and Muchen, Li Chenxi did not grow up astray. Otherwise, with Princess Duan's doting personality, who knows what Li Chenxi would become.
Prince Duan is no less capable. In short, no one is better than his eldest grandson, and whatever Li Chenxi does is right.
When Prince Duan passed away, Li Chenxi naturally inherited the title of Prince Duan.
Then came the death of Princess Duan, and then the second year after Li Chenxi's wedding, the old emperor also passed away.
The succession of imperial power was indeed as the old emperor wished, extremely smooth and successful.
The one who took over the old emperor's position was the former third prince.
After ascending the throne, the third prince did not indulge in the joy of victory, but quickly devoted himself to the governance of state affairs.
He governed the country with benevolence, recruited talented people, and made the government and the country prosperous.
At the same time, changes were quietly taking place inside and outside the court.
Some old officials began to retreat to the second line, and new forces were quietly rising, either talented young talents or local officials who were well aware of the suffering of the people.
Li Chenxi is also among these talented people, and the new emperor trusts him very much, so many important matters are entrusted to him.
Of course, these things have nothing to do with the Prince Duan's Mansion. Sirong is now an old noble in the Prince Duan's Mansion, and she lives a very carefree life every day.
Sirong handed over the power of housekeeping in the mansion to the new daughter-in-law on the second day after she entered the house.
He took his close servants to a farm in the suburbs and lived a pastoral life.
The Anyuan Marquisate has now been inherited by the old marquis's eldest son, Shen Jiyang.
The old couple passed away a few years ago, and Shen Jiyang also knew about Sirong's existence.
The person in power in a marquis's mansion is quite clear about the overall situation.
Over the years, he treated Sirong the same way as he treated his other two sisters.
Even because Sirong married into Prince Duan's Mansion, he treated her more favorably than his other two sisters.
Sirong and Muchen's mission had actually been completed when Li Chenxi was born.
However, they were both reluctant to leave such a young child to be raised by Prince Duan and his wife, so they stayed in this world until Li Chenxi had his own child.
The two of them left when they were old enough to hold a happy funeral.
Muchen has never married in this world, which was a source of worry for Cheng's mother back then.
Every day he kept saying that the Cheng family's incense would be cut off and so on.
Later, it was Muchen who took her to hide secretly in Prince Duan's Mansion, near the main gate, and let her take a look at the little Chenxi, who was only three years old at the time. Only then did she stop urging Muchen to get married.
One day later, Muchen brought a baby boy back to Cheng's mother and told her that this was his child. He asked her to take good care of her grandson at home so that Cheng's mother would not be so sad every day.
In fact, the child was an orphan in the orphanage in the capital.
Normally, orphanages rarely receive healthy baby boys, and most of the abandoned babies are girls.
This abandoned child probably has his own tortuous story.
But these are not what Muchen needs to consider. He kept all the clothes that the baby boy was wearing at that time intact, and would tell him his origins when he grew up.
Now he urgently needs a child to inherit the Cheng family's incense, so he can only let him take over first.
You may say that Cheng's mother is conservative, but she is more flexible than many women of this era.
For example, taking Muchen away and asking him to change his identity.
She also accepted the fact that she knew Muchen had an affair with the mistress of Prince Duan's Mansion.
We cannot say that her values are not correct, we can only say that the knowledge of ancient people is still very comprehensive.
But if you say she is not conservative, when Mu Chen took her to see Li Chenxi, he told her that he was her grandson and now the young master of Prince Duan's Mansion.
She was happy, but still regretful that her grandson would not be able to inherit the Cheng family's incense.
If her son dies, who will burn incense and offer sacrifices to them?
This forced Muchen to bring back another baby boy for her to take care of.
