My concubine is so good at curling

Chapter 172 The first day the second prince didn't like his brother

In Zhongcui Palace.

Xie Sheng was surrounded by two nuns and maids, watching him sit upright, and monitoring whether the second prince had deserted.In fact, from a scientific point of view, children with soft bones and immature finger joints are not suitable for practicing calligraphy, but how could the ancients have so much science?What is more superstitious is that early learning benefits early, and we should not slack off just because we are young.

Guo Xiaoyi is determined to fight for a baby, and she puts all her heart and soul into Xie Sheng, wishing that he can run at the age of one, jump at the age of two, and be promoted at the age of three. The maids arranged for him are all arranged by the Guo family. He knows some commonly used characters and has ink in his stomach. It is no problem to be a kindergarten teacher.

But the problem is that he doesn't want to practice.

With the help of dipping in the ink, Xie Sheng glanced out of the window, and saw the bright sunshine outside through the paper window, and couldn't help being lost in thought.

The court lady Jiantao persuaded: "Your Highness, you must concentrate on writing."

Being caught distracted, Xie Sheng couldn't help panicking, but also a little annoyed: "I just stopped for a while, do you need to talk?"

Nanny Cheng, who was sent by Guo Xiaoyi to supervise him, had bright eyes. Hearing what the second prince said, she immediately slapped the court lady Jiantao who had just spoken loudly: "Your Highness taught me the lesson. Even the master should be punished."

Mother Cheng slapped her hand like a cattail leaf fan, and red slap marks appeared on Jiantao's face quickly. While enduring the pain, she replied with trembling lips: "I know I was wrong."

This time, she wrote more seriously than before. Mother Cheng showed a satisfied expression, and muttered: "Your Majesty and this servant are also for His Highness's benefit. Your Highness, don't blame this servant. We have to follow the example of the one from Bihua Palace, Eldest Prince." He gains face in front of the emperor, and everything is closely followed by the eldest prince, His Highness wants to live up to himself and make face for the empress."

Under the gaze of his mother and concubine, the little boy couldn't help stammering.

Because her face was swollen, she couldn't go to meet Shengjia, he was afraid that if he didn't behave well, the maids and eunuchs beside him would be punished again.

In the front hall, the emperor was obviously in a good mood.

The legendary eldest prince is not like what Madam Cheng said, he would bully him by relying on his holy family. The mother and concubine once said to herself, how good would it be if the only prince in the palace was Sheng'er?Xie Cheng, who had no playmates of the same age, subconsciously developed a crush on him, and said hello.

As soon as the emperor frowned, a circle of people knelt around him.

"Son...son..."

Xie Sheng went to find his concubine mother first, and then went to meet the holy driver with her concubine.

Guo Xiaoyi dressed up carefully before showing up, and when she saw Xie Sheng, she told him: "I will behave well in front of your father later, have you memorized the "Thousand Characters" I taught you yesterday?"

Bihua Palace and Zhongcui Palace are far away, and the relationship between the two is not good, so there are very few opportunities for brothers to meet each other.

Seeing his younger son from a distance, he beckoned him to come over. After Xie Sheng saluted and kowtowed, he forgot his father's waving gesture, and just stood aside with his head bowed, not daring to breathe.

"Hello, second brother."

The father is busy with government affairs, and he doesn't have much time in the harem, and the two sons are not at the age where they really need to pay attention to their homework—according to Xie Che's opinion, it is Zhao'er who wants to learn as much as he likes, and plays casually if he doesn't like it Anyway, as soon as they reach the age, some of them will be packed and sent to the study room, and some of them will be cleaned up by teachers. Children will not become illiterate because they play for two more days.

Jiantao is a court lady who serves the second prince closely. Although the children know the difference between superiority and inferiority, they regard her as a half-sister in their hearts.The prince's dignity cannot be damaged, so the people around him will bear it on his behalf.Sure enough, Xie Sheng got scared right away, thinking that he had hurt Jiantao with a casual remark: "The mother's admonishment is just a few words, why bother? I didn't annoy her."

Mother Cheng is not venting her anger for the second prince.

Zhao'er was not afraid of life, and greeted him with a smile.

"understood."

There is a nasal sound in the short three words, but the palace servants around think that this is the best way to do it. It will not be a big deal if you smile all day long, and the little master will know the painstaking efforts of the empress in the future.

Nervously, Xie Sheng turned his head and hurriedly glanced at the elder sister of the court lady Jiantao who was not far away.

Seeing his shrinking appearance, the emperor's smile faded a little.

"My son knows."

So Xie Sheng saw his father only a handful of times.

However, Xie Sheng didn't want to change people at all, so he could only continue to practice calligraphy resentfully.

Xie Sheng looked away in embarrassment: "I'm just learning, Mammy don't do anything anymore, who will serve me if I break her?"

Xie Sheng was startled. It was a three-year-old child, and he immediately begged tearfully, "I beg Father, don't punish the palace servants around my son. It's nothing to do with them that my son doesn't live up to his expectations."

Xie Sheng felt that his mother only had Gu Zhaoyi in her eyes.

He took a deep breath, but there was a sound from outside: "The emperor is here, and the eldest prince is following him. Your Highness, hurry up and meet the holy car."

Brother also prepared a gift for him?

The half-grown child was out of breath.

Regardless of whether the three-year-old child is beautiful or ugly, Xie Zhao is fatter than him. He is wearing gold and red clothes and a gold collar. He looks like a doll in a New Year picture, especially cute and cute.Xie Sheng's appearance is not bad, his face is less fleshy and his outline is highlighted, like a timid little animal.

Because of his father's gentle tone, Xie Sheng felt a little ashamed after wiping away his tears. While paying his respects to his brother in a low voice, he secretly observed the eldest prince who was said to be "in the thick of the holy family".

"Your Highness, don't worry, this slave is not well served, so I will replace him with another one, and I will never let His Highness have no one around to serve you."

Why are you still crying!
The emperor is also a novice father, Zhao'er has always been a bold one, he has never coaxed a crying child.Especially the second prince, Xie Sheng, who is thin and white, holding back his voice when he dropped the golden beans, not to mention how pitiful he was: "Okay, okay, I won't punish them, don't cry, is it because the dishes made by the imperial dining room don't like it?" Eat? You will order today, and I will eat with you, as well as your brother."

"Your Highness, don't feel sorry for Jian Tao. She was punished for two reasons. One is that she committed a crime of disturbing the master, and the other is that she didn't fulfill her duty of urging His Highness to study hard."

But he felt that Sheng'er was still young, so he should be pampered, so he took him into his arms.I realized something was wrong when I picked it up: "Why is Sheng'er so light? How do you take care of the second prince?"

He is a tool used to compare Gu Zhaoyi.

Hearing his father's name, Xie Sheng panicked.

Guo Xiaoyi couldn't help being impatient: "You must not look like this in front of the emperor!" She herself came from a family, and her etiquette and demeanor can't be faulted, but when her son came in front of the emperor, he looked so meek.

Madam Cheng said sternly.

The royal father said with a smile: "Today I'm giving Sheng'er a gift, and it's also his brother's kindness."

Xie Sheng's face was filled with joy, but he didn't dare to show it too much.

"Second brother, I have prepared a comprehensive study schedule for you!" The eldest prince jumped off his seat with a bang, and walked up to Xie Sheng: "Look, this is the loose-leaf book that my concubine gave me. The endorsement plan, we will study together in the future."

Xie Sheng: ...

He really wanted to be an only child.
