Tai Chi Palace, East Palace.
Xu Fenglei sat on the futon and read quietly.
"Master..."
Li Chengqian crawled over from the floor and shouted softly.
"Um?"
Xu Fenglei stroked his head and said with a smile,
"What's wrong, Cheng Qian, what's the matter with you?"
Li Chengqian hesitated for a moment, then said with some trepidation:
"Master...will my child be crowned this year?"
Xu Fenglei nodded.
"yes."
He said seriously,
"Your father has decided to crown you in October this year. The crowning ceremony was originally supposed to be held this month, but now is the busy farming season and we cannot disturb the people."
"You see, this is the thinking of a wise king, who always considers the common people. After you are crowned, you will be considered an adult, and your father will leave some government affairs to you."
"You have to think like your father, do you understand?"
Li Chengqian let out a long oh, his eyes rolled around, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Are you worried?"
Xu Fenglei tilted his head and said with a half-smile,
"You kid, you have never been so coy..."
"Tell me..."
Li Chengqian scratched his head in embarrassment.
"The child just heard that after being crowned, he will get married... Will the child get married and have children?"
His face turned slightly red and he said,
"Will my father choose a woman for his child? What kind of girl will it be?"
Xu Fenglei laughed.
"I asked you why you are acting like this. It turns out you are thinking about things between men and women."
He said,
"There's nothing to be shy about. As the saying goes, food and sex are also important. As you get older, you will naturally have such thoughts. Be more generous."
"You are right. Your father and mother were still discussing with me a while ago, thinking about how to arrange your marriage."
"You are the Crown Prince, and your first wife will naturally be the Crown Princess, and will be my Queen of the Tang Dynasty in the future! You cannot choose her casually, she must have excellent character, talent and beauty."
Li Chengqian's eyes lit up.
"Will she be beautiful?" The little kid looked expectantly.
Xu Fenglei touched his chin, nodded and said:
"Probably, but when the royal family chooses a concubine, character and virtue are the first priority... Besides, everyone has different evaluation criteria for whether they are beautiful or not."
"Maybe your father, the queen, and your mother think she's beautiful, but you don't like her... It's also possible."
Li Chengqian curled his lips.
"Can the child choose for himself..." He said hopefully.
"That's not okay."
Xu Fenglei shook his head and said,
"You're just a kid, what do you know?"
"Your marriage is a national matter and cannot be taken lightly! It must be controlled by adults."
"But don't be disappointed...after all, you are the prince, and you will definitely have more than one wife in the future. Even if you are not satisfied, you will have to find a beautiful woman in the future!"
As the prince of the Tang Dynasty and the future emperor, are you afraid that you will not have a woman?
Eh……
etc.
Cheng Qian, this boy, seems to have a bit of a crooked hobby. There once existed a man named 'Ring Xin' in history, who was his male favorite...
"All right……"
Li Chengqian was slightly disappointed and reluctantly accepted this fact.
"Go and call your brothers and sisters."
Xu Fenglei suddenly said,
"The time is almost here, it's time to start your physiological lessons."
"It is also my duty as a teacher to let you understand your own and each other's physiological structures, as well as the significance of the union of men and women to reproduce offspring."
Chinese people are just too reserved and ashamed to talk about sex, which leads to all kinds of weird problems.
Let’s just talk about Li Chengqian. He is about to get married, but he is still confused. What should he do when he is asked to face his wife?
A random argument?
Then specifying is not possible...
"good!"
Li Chengqian got up and ran out.
Xu Fenglei took a piece of paper and started scribbling...
After a while.
The four children, Li Chengqian, Li Tai, Li Ke, and Li Lizhi, sat in a row with their heads raised, looking like good babies.
"I'm going to tell you something a little different today."
Xu Fenglei pointed at the drawing board and said,
"First of all, let's determine one thing, and that is your sexual orientation."
"Chengqian, Qingque, Ke'er, do you like women?"
"To put it more simply, do you like pretty girls?"
He grabbed two fairly good-looking ladies from the East Palace and pointed at them.
"Just like the two of them, would you like it?"
Xu Fenglei asked.
The two palace maids were both blushing with embarrassment at this moment, but at the same time, they also secretly raised their eyelids and looked at the three His Highnesses.
They are just slaves, but if they can be favored by His Highness, anyone... their status and destiny will be completely different.
"I don't like them. If they were prettier, I might like them."
Li Chengqian said honestly,
"The queen mother said that the child's palace cannot have slaves who are too beautiful, for fear that the child will do bad things."
Xu Fenglei chuckled.
"You have a very high standard. With the looks of these two, there is already a large group of people outside the palace who are looking for marriage!"
He joked,
"That means you have a high level of vision and don't look down on others."
"However, your orientation is normal, continue to maintain it."
After saying that, Xu Fenglei looked at the remaining two people.
"Not bad."
Li Tai said angrily,
"If you want to take her as a concubine, just make do with it!"
Li Ke also nodded.
"Haier also holds the same view as the second brother."
These three children usually see too much of Yingying and Yanyan, and they have high vision. It is difficult for ordinary women to satisfy them.
Xu Fenglei waved his hand and signaled the two maids to retreat.
"good."
He nodded and said,
"Your orientation is normal for the time being."
"What about you, Li Zhi? What kind of person would you like? Do you like the person in Master's painting?"
On the drawing board, there is a beautiful man in ancient style.
Xu Fenglei's painting skills are pretty good, and this painting is also copied from the model in the Xianxia game of later generations. It is called a sword-shaped eyebrow with starry eyes and a majestic weapon.
"very nice!"
Li Lizhi stared at the handsome man in the painting for a while and said,
"Li Zhi has a crush on him! Is he a friend of Master? Why haven't I seen him before?"
"Li Zhi wants to meet him!"
Xu Fenglei curled his lips.
"This is my teacher's fiction, but there should be such handsome people in the world."
He hummed softly,
"You really like handsome guys, right?"
"That's it, men like beautiful women and women like handsome men. This is the correct sexual orientation."
"Chengqian, Qingque, Ke'er, would you like the man in this painting, would you want to sleep in the same bed with him, and sleep in his arms?"
Li Tai shook his head repeatedly.
"No, no, no!"
Li Ke got goosebumps.
"I don't want it! It's so disgusting..."
Li Chengqian fell into thinking.
"It doesn't seem impossible, he's quite good-looking..."
Xu Fenglei: "!!!"
"Can't!"
he cried,
"You have a wrong idea, you need to correct it!"
"Opposites attract and same-sex repels! You can be jealous of his handsomeness, but you must not admire him! This is not allowed in the Tang Dynasty!"
"Understand?!"
If we were in a more open later generation, we might be able to have a little more freedom.
But now is the feudal era, and reproduction of offspring is the first priority! If a dignified prince of the Tang Dynasty likes men...is that ridiculous?
No wonder this boy would later adopt a male favorite... He must correct himself soon!
"My child understands."
Li Chengqian withdrew his gaze and responded honestly.
"You still have a weak concept of gender, so I need my teacher to educate you."
Xu Fenglei said seriously,
"Why should men like women and women like men, instead of combining men with men and women with women?"
"That's because only by combining men and women can yin and yang be balanced, offspring can be reproduced, and our tribe can grow."
"If the royal family wants to spread its branches, you guys have a big responsibility! Especially Cheng Qian, you are the prince and the direct lineage, and the inheritance of the Tang Dynasty lies with you!"
The children all nodded.
Li Chengqian said a little confused:
"Then Master, why can't men reproduce offspring?"
Xu Fenglei nodded.
"That's a good question."
He responded and explained,
"Reproduction actually requires the cooperation of a man and a woman to give birth to new life."
"During coitus, the man produces yang essence, and the woman produces yin essence, which can also be called an egg. Only when the yang essence plunges into the yin essence can life be gestated in the woman's body."
"Both are indispensable. Both men only have yang essence, so naturally they cannot have children. In the same way, the same goes for two women."
"besides……"
Xu Fenglei explained while scribbling on the drawing board, which was vivid and vivid.
This was the first time for several children to be exposed to such knowledge, and they all listened with great interest and excitement.
They never noticed that at the corner outside the house, Li Shimin was already gnashing his teeth.
"What is this Xu Fenglei teaching!"
Li Er said angrily,
"If you say this kind of thing... openly, he won't be ashamed!"
"No, I have to go in and stop it. The more you say it, the more outrageous it becomes!"
He was about to enter the house, but was stopped by Changsun Wugou on the side.
"What are you trying to stop? I think Ming's explanation is pretty good."
Changsun Wujia touched his chin and listened with great interest.
She stopped Li Shimin with one hand and hummed:
"The children have also reached the age of marriage leave. They are not ignorant about this matter."
"We don't teach, and the teachers don't teach either. How can the children understand what this is about? Let me tell you, it's better to listen to the Ming Dynasty!"
"Do you remember the first time we had sex?"
Li Shimin's expression froze.
"You...why are you doing this?"
Li Er's expression was a little unnatural.
"What, are you ashamed?"
Changsun Wugao tilted his head and said with a half-smile,
"I can vividly remember the scene at that time. Your clumsy and stiff look was really funny."
"In the end, after struggling for half a night, I still didn't get any results. You still asked the old servant at home, and you finally learned something."
"Just this matter, I can laugh at you forever!"
Li Shimin: “#￥%……&*##@”
"Why do you have to mention this..."
Li Er said with a troubled face,
"At that time, no one taught me at all, and I was nervous, so naturally..."
"Oh, okay, okay! I'm pretty good now! Don't mention these old things again!"
The eldest grandson Wugu smiled.
"Okay, okay, I won't mention it, but I think that my children can't be like you, otherwise they will be laughed at."
She said,
"Study and accumulate some experience, which can be put to use in the future."
"You really don't want to talk about it. If you listen to someone who knows a lot, he can even explain how men and women combine and how to give birth to life."
"Even I, a woman who has given birth to several children, don't know this. I knew it before but didn't know why... Now, I understand it."
Li Shimin snorted softly.
"He can only use theory and his mouth!"
Li Er sarcastically said,
"If I really want him to practice it, he will probably be worse than me!"
"After all, he has never even touched a woman's hand, unlike me, at any rate..."
Changsun Wugu glanced at him.
"After all, you have bullied women early on, right?" she said.
"Hey, no, no, no, no, no..."
Li Shimin waved his hands repeatedly, changed the subject and said,
"Listen, listen, let's keep listening..."
At this time, a maid who came to deliver cakes saw the two cats in the corner, and was so frightened that her plate almost flew away.
"See your majesty, see your empress!"
The slaves quickly knelt down and saluted.
There was suddenly no life in the house.
"What are you shouting for...you don't have any eyesight at all."
Li Er muttered unhappily, and had no choice but to turn around and step into the house with his eldest grandson Wugou.
Swish, swish, swish.
All eyes fell on him, making him slightly uncomfortable.
"See your majesty, empress."
"See my father and my mother..."
Everyone salutes.
"Your Majesty, Concubine, are you here already?"
Xu Fenglei said with a half-smile,
"You came early, why didn't you tell me earlier, and you hid outside and eavesdropped? What's going on?"
"I don't charge for my lectures, so you can come in and listen together!"
Li Shimin: "..."
"Ahem, no gifts, no gifts."
He raised his hand and said slightly embarrassed,
"The queen and I have only been here for a while. Seeing that you were very engaged in what you were talking about, we didn't bother you."
"Okay, don't worry about me, keep talking, keep talking!"
With that said, Li Er led his eldest grandson Wugou to sit down aside.
"That's almost all explained."
Xu Fenglei patted the drawing board and said with a smile,
"Actually, there are only a few things between men and women."
"Whether it's attracting each other, doing good things, or carrying on the family line, it's all normal. There's nothing to be shy about. Confucius said that food and sex are the same, and we have to respect our nature!"
"Of course, while respecting one's nature, one must also pay attention to starting well and ending well, and paying attention to hygiene. Only in this way can the life of both sexes be happy."
"If you still don't understand something, you can come and ask me again. I will tell you everything I know."
"Okay, get out of class is over! There is no homework today. Your future practice will be your answer sheet. Of course, only you will know whether the score on this answer sheet is high or low."
"When the time comes, don't be proud and complacent, and don't deceive yourself and others..."
