Fengming Chen Palace

Chapter 506 Li Tong
The girl selected by Su Qingning, surnamed Li, named Li Tong, was the youngest daughter of the servant of the Ministry of Justice, and was exactly one year older than the eldest princess.

Li Tong's father, who is now the servant of the Ministry of Justice, was originally an official in a small place, because the official reputation has always been good, the official is clean and honest, and he is loved by the local people.

After Emperor Chen promulgated the New Deal, he was transferred to Luzhou, not far from the capital.

He was promoted to an official, but it didn't make him proud. He worked more conscientiously for the common people. After solving several major cases, he was transferred to the capital, and was promoted to be the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment.

His family, along with him, entered the capital.

Mrs. Li's wife is very popular among the wives of various mansions. When mentioning Li's family, almost everyone hears approval, and many families are willing to marry Li's family.

Not only because of Mr. Li's current official title and the possibility of further promotion, but also because of their children, all of them are excellent and motivated, and they can know that they will have a bright future.

After many considerations, Su Qingning chose the Li family's daughter.

The parents are good, and the children they teach must be good. I heard that Li Tong has been reading since he was four years old, and he can know thousands of characters at the age of five. It would be good for her to accompany the princess to read.

After making a decision, Su Qingning discussed with the Emperor, and the Emperor also felt that the Li family's daughter would be good.

So, on a certain day, Su Qingning invited Mrs. Li and Li Tong into the palace.

The fact that the queen wants to choose a female teacher and companion for the eldest princess has long been spread in the capital, but anyone who has a daughter in the family and is of the same age has paid attention to it.

Knowing that the queen wanted to invite their mother and daughter into the palace, Madam Li was very surprised, she never expected that Li Tong would be favored.

In any case, this is a good thing, after Madam Li taught Li Tong the rules of entering the palace, she brought her into the palace.

Entering the main hall, Mrs. Li brought Li Tong together and saluted Su Qingning.

Su Qingning's eyes fell on Li Tong. Although she was young, she could have a polite posture, but she was very standard. Su Qingning nodded secretly in her heart.

Calling the mother and daughter to get up, and giving them a seat, Su Qingning continued to look at Li Tong.

"You raise your head." Li Tong lowered his head, Su Qingning gave an order, Li Tong responded and raised his head, but he didn't look directly at Su Qingning, her eyes fell on his overlapping hands.

"Mrs. Li is good at teaching daughters. Li Tong is so polite at such a young age, which surprised me." After a while, Su Qingning looked away, looked at Mrs. Li, and praised with a smile.

For Li Tong's first impression, Su Qingning was still very satisfied, she glanced at Hongxiu, and told her to invite the eldest princess.

Since it is to choose a companion for the princess, it is natural to make the princess satisfied.

"Thank you, Empress, for your praise." Standing up, Mrs. Li turned towards Su Qingning, and Li Tong also stood up, imitating her mother.

"There is no need to be so formal, Madam Li must know the purpose of my palace inviting your mother and daughter into the palace."

Greeting the two of them to sit down again, Su Qingning asked directly without turning the corner.

"Returning to your empress, I heard a few days ago that your empress is going to choose a companion for the eldest princess. I must have recruited the minister's wife and the little girl into the palace today for the sake of accompanying her." Responding to Su Qingning's words, Madam Li turned her head to look A glance at my daughter.

At this time, Li Tong sat on the chair in a regular manner, and every move was done according to her requirements when she was at home, which made her very satisfied.

"That's true. I asked you to enter the palace today for the purpose of reading with me. Just now, I have ordered someone to invite the princess. Whether Li Tong can become the princess's companion depends on the princess. idea."

Nodding her head, Su Qingning looked at Li Tong again, she was still sitting very well, Su Qingning guessed, if they were not there, only she and the eldest princess, what would it be like?
Will it be the same now?If so, I'm afraid the princess won't like it too much.

Although the Eldest Princess is well-behaved, she is not rigid. Li Tong's current appearance does not seem to be nervous, but more rigid.

The eldest princess came soon, and after saluting to Su Qingning, she looked at Li Tong and sized her up without hesitation.

As if feeling the Eldest Princess' gaze, Li Tong quickly raised his eyes to look at the Eldest Princess, and then looked away.

"Empress, I want to take Miss Li out for a walk." Looking away, the eldest princess replied to Su Qingning.

"Then let's go." Su Qingning responded with a smile. You can't see anything just by looking at it like this. Only by walking around and chatting can you understand better.

"Tong'er, you must listen to the princess's words." Madam Li looked at Li Tong and instructed in a low voice. Li Tong responded in a low voice, saluted Su Qingning, and left the main hall with the eldest princess.

Su Qingning looked at Mrs. Li, she didn't look away until Li Tong and the eldest princess left.

Looking at her appearance, she seemed a little nervous.

"Madam Li, don't worry, there will be palace people following. Although the eldest princess is still young, she is very measured. According to my palace, that child Li Tong is sensible, and I think he will get along well with the eldest princess."

For some reason, Su Qingning always had a strange feeling in her heart. She felt that Mrs. Li and Li Tong were not that close.

According to the information she got, Li Tong is indeed Mrs. Li's youngest daughter, but mother and daughter are like... Could there be something else that she doesn't know?
Thinking like this, Su Qingning decided to send someone to investigate after Mrs. Li and Li Tong left the palace.

Taking Li Tong along, the Eldest Princess left Fengyang Palace. At this time, the flowers in the palace were just in bloom, and there were many gardens near Fengyang Palace.

The eldest princess chose a place, and walked towards the garden with Li Tong.

"Are you afraid of me?" On the way, Li Tong remained silent and kept a distance from the eldest princess.

It seems that the elders taught her, she followed behind the eldest princess, two steps away.

"If you go back to the princess, the minister is not afraid of the princess." Responding to her words, Li Tong still followed behind her.

"Since you're not afraid, just walk with me. There's no need to be one behind the other. It's convenient for you and me to walk together." Turning to look at Li Tong, the eldest princess said, Li Tong hesitated and stepped up her pace , parallel to the princess.

"I heard from my mother that you started reading at the age of four, and knew a thousand characters at the age of five, but is it true?" Before Li Tong entered the palace, Su Qingning sent someone to give the information to the eldest princess.

"Returning to the princess, it is true. If the minister can become the princess' companion, she should be able to help the princess in her homework."

When starting to learn how to read, it was always a little hard. At that time, Li Tong hoped that someone could study with her.

"If so, you can't be the companion of this princess?"
