The rise of the prince

Chapter 8
The location of Prince Xiao's Mansion is very good. It is located in the east of the city, facing south from the north, facing the water in the front and the mountains in the back. Most of the surroundings are the courtyards of dignitaries and nobles. There are many rich families, and the environment is beautiful and peaceful.

Every morning Li Ye gets up early and Qiu’er and Yue’er will help him to freshen up. After running around the river, he will return to the yard and do a set of sit-ups and push-ups. Things must be done slowly, and the number can be increased slowly. Plus, eagerness for success is just spoiling the growth.

Haste makes waste, patience, carefulness, and confidence are essential qualities for Li Ye to do things.

After that, Qiu'er and Yue'er will take care of him to take a shower. Although it is not as convenient as later generations and needs firewood for heating, it is always good.

Then Qiu'er and Yue'er will serve the prepared breakfast. In this era, rich and noble families eat three meals, while ordinary families can only eat two meals, and some even eat one meal a day.

The breakfast in the palace is very rich, pastries, mutton, fruit, rice porridge, and warm mung bean soup. There is a table full, and he can't finish it, so he asked the two little girls standing to eat together. The two little girls Shaking his head in a panic, he repeatedly asked for something to eat, as if he was on the battlefield, wishing he could say with tears: the wind is rustling and the water is cold.
In the end, Li Ye had no choice but to not embarrass them.

People in the palace also gradually discovered that the little prince has become very strange recently.

First of all, he didn't go out to misbehave as usual, but stayed quietly in the study!The little prince started reading!If outsiders knew it, they would definitely not believe it, but they really watched it.

What's more, when I wake up every morning, I will be chased and run around, sweating all over, and doing some weird and completely incomprehensible movements.

Could it be that retribution has suffered some strange and stubborn disease?

Everyone just talked about it in private, and they didn't dare to show it to the public. Manager Yan Yan also repeatedly explained that whoever dares to show the strange things about the little prince outside the mansion will break his legs and throw it out!
Manager Yan in the mansion has the highest prestige, and what he said must be true, everyone was silent, and since then, they dare not talk about it casually.

Li Ye didn't care or pay attention.

Eat well and drink well in the palace, and there are two lovely maids serving them every day. Apart from casual fitness, there is nothing else to worry about. Isn't this comfortable life what she wanted desperately in her previous life, but there was no turning back at that time, It's different now.He enjoys this tranquility and is content with the status quo. Ease is a blessing.
Although sometimes it is difficult for him to accept the impact of this era, for example, the two girls personally bathe him every day.

The two girls are minors, it would be against the law in future generations, and at their bright age, they should not have done such things. They should enjoy the love of their families, bloom their youth freely, and receive basic education.

Instead of being locked in a courtyard, being called around, serving people without dignity.

But soon he also understood that this was the trend of the times, and he couldn't stop it. He had to reverse his ideas and thoughts, and slowly integrate with this era, so that he could survive.

Regarding some things, he tried his best to make slight changes within a reasonable range without touching deeper things.

For example, the two maids are not allowed to do heavy work, and many strict rules are removed, such as the two maids must stand when he eats, and the maids need to lower their heads slightly when facing him, etc.
He is careful about these things, without any trace, and changes silently within the range acceptable to everyone. He is good at psychological manipulation.

He also often chats with the two girls, probably because of the rules, they don't talk much, but girls at this age are innocent and brilliant birds, so he simply wants to chat with them more and let them talk more say.

After all, they were just children, and after a few days, under his gentle guidance, the two little girls also opened up their conversation boxes. Even so, the two little girls were different, Qiu'er was more quiet, and Yue'er twittered like a little oriole.

"Young master, what kind of words do you want to write? I have never seen you write before." In the study, Yue'er happily put her head together. become lively.

Qiu'er rubbed the ink quietly, tugging at the corner of Yue'er's clothes: "Don't be rude."

Li Ye didn't care, he laughed and pushed her little head back: "I didn't write before because I didn't have time to write. Now I want to write. Have Qiu'er and Yue'er read books?"

Practicing calligraphy has always been Li Ye's hobby. Ink wash and writing always have a kind of beauty beyond reality and profound artistic conception.

Qiu'er nodded quietly: "Boys and maids were taught piano, chess, calligraphy and painting when they were young. The prince asked the master in the mansion to teach many girls. Yue'er and I are the best learners, so we are lucky to serve the prince."

"Yes, yes, not only can I read, but I can also sing lyrics. Do you want to listen, young master?" Yue'er's eyes were shining brightly, presumably the son of heaven had never heard him sing lyrics before.

Looking at her expectant eyes, Li Ye was both funny and heartbroken. Being destined for a fate is the saddest thing. If he is not recognized again, the sadness will turn into despair.

He put down his pen, clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Okay, let's move the stool here first."

Yue'er excitedly moved the stool to sit in front of him, then patted her head: "I have to stand up to sing."

Li Ye nodded, "Then you stand and sing, and I will sit and listen. When Qiu'er comes over, you also sit and listen."

"Oh..." Qiu'er was stunned for a moment, and sat obediently on the chair next to Li Ye, with a pleasant fragrance beside her.

After standing up, Yue'er began to adjust her breath, and then said: "I will sing a song "Spring Scenery" to Shizi, which is the lyrics of 'Broken Time'."

Li Ye nodded, he knew the word.Yue'er raised her breath slightly, and then began to sing
"When the swallows come to Xinshe, the pear blossoms lag behind the Qingming Festival"

"Three or four o'clock on the green moss on the pool, one or two calls of orioles on the bottom of the leaves. The days are long and the catkins are flying lightly"

Her voice is clear and crisp, and her tone is lively. Although the singing style of Cipai seems a bit old-fashioned to Li Ye of the later generations, the lyrics fit inexplicably with the little girl, and it sounds unique, especially her serious and hardworking eyes.
"Qiao Xiaodong's female companion, picking mulberries along the way to meet her.

It is suspected that the spring dream was good last night, but it is because the grass fight wins today.A smile is born from two faces"

After a while, the ending sound fell, and the study room became quiet. The sun shines through the paper window, and gently sprinkles on Li Ye's lap. The fine dust is chaotic and fluttering in the sun, just like a girl's heart.Yue'er squeezed her fingers nervously, looking at him expectantly, her eyes sparkling.

Li Ye couldn't help laughing, this is a fourteen or fifteen year old girl.
