The Favored Concubine in the Palace_The Feast of Masks【Complete】(221)
Xiao Qian nodded. The people sent by the Hanlin Academy to teach the emperor's grandchildren took turns to come, and it was his turn today.
He was the first to step into the hall, and a few little kids followed him in a line.
While walking, Xuan Ge'er secretly said to Xiao Bao: "Your medicine is really effective. I will be good to you in the future and take you with me when I play."
Xiao Bao glanced at him silently. If he didn't want to be excluded and treated as an alien, or if he was afraid that Yueyue would be bullied for no reason, he would be patient to coax this little kid.
The little kid asked unconsciously: "Why don't you talk?"
Xiao Bao could only answer: "Go in quickly, don't let the teacher wait."
Because Xuan Ge'er and Xiao Bao are good friends, Xiao Bao is no longer like yesterday, when only he and Yueyue played.
Xuan Ge'er has two followers, the two young masters of the Wu Wang family, Yu Ge'er and Xi Ge'er. Since Xuan Ge'er gets along well with Xiao Bao, they naturally get along well with Xiao Bao. As for Hao and Han, Hao is not as shrewd as his father, Prince An, but more likes a naive and innocent child. He is obviously older than Xuan, but likes to follow Xuan the most.
Han is still a little reluctant, but due to his power - Xuan said that if you look down on Xiaobao, you look down on Xiaoye. He can only accept Xiaobao helplessly.
As for Shan, he still looks like a loner, and no one wants to talk to him. After all, Xiaobao is an adult, and he can't play with childish tricks like "you don't play with me, I don't play with you". He did call him once, but it's a pity that Shan ignored him.
Xiaobao was not angry, but Xuan was annoyed. He thought that Xiaobao was now under the protection of his wings. If he didn't give Xiaobao face, he would give him face. Then the little brat successfully united Hao and a few other brats to isolate Shan.
At noon, when it was time to have lunch and let off wind, there was another scene.
Some played while eating, some fought and made noises, and obedient ones like Shan Ge'er and Han Ge'er were also fed by the servants.
Only Xiaobao and Yueyue sat alone at a table, and Yuchan helped the two to set the meal, and the two picked up silver chopsticks to eat.
In the past, Yueyue was also fed by the maids, but since she went to the Prince of Jin's Mansion, she has been able to eat by herself under the guidance of Xiaobao and Yao Niang.
Xuan Ge'er still had rice grains on the corners of his mouth, and he came and went whistling, running like a little whirlwind, and Xiao Xizi and the palace maid chased after him with bitter faces.
He ran over: "What are you eating?"
What can be eaten, the food is the same, and the meal was sent by the imperial kitchen according to the personal order of Emperor Hongjing. However, Xiaobao brought a small box of side dishes, which was also learned from the Prince of Jin.
The side dishes are fried silver fish and pickles. The silver fish is fried fragrant and delicious, and the pickles are specially made by the small kitchen, which is the best to eat with rice.
"Can I have a taste?" Xuan Ge'er, who had never asked for food from anyone, seemed a little embarrassed.
Xiaobao said: "Eat well and don't run around, I'll share with you."
"It's just eating by yourself, I can do it too."
Then Xuan Ge'er asked Xiao Xizi to bring his meal over and sat down on another chair. Xiaobao glanced at Yuchan, and Yuchan took the small box and scooped some food into Xuan Ge'er's plate.
Xuan Ge'er reached out and took a small silver fish: "Delicious!"
Seeing this, the others all ran over.
"Let's sit together. I see that the adults eat from a table of dishes. If we put our dishes together, it will also be a table of dishes."
In this way, several little groups gathered together, you eat mine, I eat yours, some of them clearly have food in front of them, but they go to others to pick up food, not realizing at all that their fathers are mortal enemies.
Especially the side dishes brought by Xiaobao, which were cleaned up first, and they all said they were delicious and asked Xiaobao to bring them back tomorrow. But the eunuchs and palace maids around them were so anxious that they broke out in sweat.
After the meal, they played for a while and it was time for the afternoon class.
Today, the little guys are more vigorous than yesterday. It seems that the discipline they received at home has some effect. Even if they don’t study hard, they all sit down honestly.
Only Xuan Ge’er is more unique. Before the meal, he caught a grasshopper in the bushes and played with it on the desk. He played with a grasshopper for more than an hour, and it was not dead when he went to the study room after school.
"Envy!" During the break, Xuan Ge’er said proudly, holding the grasshopper’s leg.
Yu Ge’er and Hao Ge’er next to him nodded repeatedly. They were almost bored to death. Watching Xuan Ge’er playing with the grasshopper next to them, they were so envious.
"I have crickets at home. I will bring them tomorrow." Xi Ge'er said.
The problem is, boy, you dare to bring them. Aren't you afraid of being beaten when you go back?
As they were discussing, someone reported that Emperor Hongjing had arrived.
Xuan Ge'er hurriedly stuffed the grasshopper into Xiao Xizi's hand and followed Xiao Bao and the others to stand at the door.
"Is the emperor grandfather well?"
Emperor Hongjing strode in, paused in front of the little dumplings, and then sat down on the chairs that had been set up.
"Is the emperor grandfather here to test your homework? What have you learned today?"
Xiao Qian answered first, and after he finished answering, Emperor Hongjing recited what the emperor's grandchildren had learned today one by one.
Except for Xiao Bao and Shan Ge'er who recited fluently, Han Ge'er recited correctly, but he was stumbling. As for the others, they couldn't recite at all.
Emperor Hongjing did not reprimand them, saying: "Although you did not learn well, I am very pleased to see that you are friendly and respectful to each other and get along harmoniously."
Is this a compliment?
Only Xiaobao knows what Emperor Hongjing is complimenting.
People are old after all, and they all like the younger generations to get along with each other in harmony. This is probably the meaning of Emperor Hongjing reopening the Shangshufang.
Yao Niang went to Prince Qing's mansion today, and she did not hide it and told him her intention.
In fact, this matter was exactly what Xiao Jirou wanted. Xiao Daye Xiao Qian was a lecturer in the Hanlin Academy, and the news that the little emperor's grandson entered the Shangshufang to study naturally could not be hidden from him.
It's a pity that Yan Ge'er is of an awkward age. Emperor Hongjing said that he entered the Shangshufang at the age of five, but Yan Ge'er is only a little over four years old. If Prince Qing was in the mansion, it would not be a big deal to ask Emperor Hongjing for help. The key is that there is no man in the family, and Xiao Jirou can't go.
It's presumptuous for a daughter-in-law to talk to her father-in-law, not to mention that Xiao Jirou is no longer a member of the royal family. Although few people know about this, Emperor Hongjing knows it.
Xiao Jirou didn't have the face to go either. She was thinking about asking Yao Niang, and Yao Niang came to her door.
"Yaoyao, I really don't know what to say. Thank you so much."
"Okay, why are you telling me all this? Yan Ge'er is a good kid. If he wants to learn, it's good."
So the next day, Yan Ge'er entered the palace with Xiaobao.
They are all grandchildren of the emperor, so it shouldn't be difficult for King Jin to ask. So Xiao Jirou first brought Yan Ge'er and Zhuzhu to King Jin's mansion. When they arrived, they waited for King Jin to go out. When they were about to leave, Zhuzhu was not happy and insisted on going with her brother.
Because she saw Yueyue went, and she also wanted to play with Yueyue.
Yueyue glanced at Zhuzhu, hesitated and said to Xiaobao: "Brother Xiaobao, why don't I stay at home? I will play with Zhuzhu at home today."
"I think it's okay. The two children play together, and finally have a companion."
Seeing this, Xiaobao could only agree. He also knew that Yueyue could not go many times. Even if she could hold on now, they would still have to separate when they grow up.
In this way, Xiaobao and Yan Ge'er entered the palace, while Yueyue and Zhuzhu stayed at home.
Perhaps because they had asked about their children a lot after returning, the little ones were all very different today, the most obvious one was Shan Ge'er. Yesterday, he looked like he didn't want to bother with everyone, but today he knew to come together with everyone.
Seeing this, Xiaobao felt a little complicated. The adults' thoughts and attitudes were directly affected by the children at home.
Emperor Hongjing said yesterday that brothers should be friendly and respectful to their younger brothers, and today they really were friendly and respectful to their younger brothers.
Since the last spring, Emperor Hongjing used a trick to kill a chicken to warn the monkey, and recently the princes have been very well behaved. They are not stupid either, they all learned from the King of Jin to go to duty every day and go home, and never go anywhere. Their behavior is completely different from the past.
And at this moment, the prince of Hui is getting married.
The object is the daughter of the Marquis of Jingde Mansion, who is the niece of the Princess of Hui's mother's family.
Zhao Zuo's marriage was hastily arranged. When the outside world heard the news, the engagement had already been made, and the wedding date was set for a month later. As for why he was in such a hurry, it was said that the Princess of Hui had been ill and could not get up, and no medicine could cure her. There was really no other way, so the Crown Prince Zhao Zuo planned to save his mother.
Because of this, Zhao Zuo was also known as a filial son, and everyone praised him as a very filial person.
Under this name, the stigma of a woman marrying twice was washed away a lot. Even if there were those who secretly cursed it was absurd, they all went to the King of Hui. When it comes to the Prince of Hui, he feels very sorry, saying that he was delayed by his father.
Chapter 169
In the Huang Limu Ruyi Cloud Pattern Bed in the Palace of the King of Hui, there was a thin woman lying.
If her identity was not pointed out, no one would have expected that this person was the former Crown Princess and the current Princess of Hui, Wu. Although Wu was not a stunning beauty, she was dignified and beautiful. However, she looked pale, skinny, and frighteningly thin.
The Crown Prince Zhao Zuo stood in front of the couch and said gently, "Mother, my son's wedding is in five days. I hope you can get better soon. Yan'er is a gentle person with good conduct. She will be filial to you in the future..."
Zhao Zuo said a lot of things, from what betrothal gifts were given, to where the new house was arranged, to the reaction of the Wu family, and he went too far in detail. ,
The maids next to him were all surprised when they saw the Crown Prince who was so considerate, and they thought that the Crown Prince was really filial. These maids were a new batch of maids who moved into the Hui Wang Mansion. It is said that the palace maids around the Hui Wang Concubine were replaced because of her bad temper after she fell ill.
