Lady Changning

Chapter 22 Accompanying Reading (2)

Lunch is served in the side hall of the academy, and the maids neatly arranged the dishes before the masters left for school, and stood on the side waiting.The prince naturally took his seat, and then sat down in order according to his status. When it was Xi Changning's turn, he had already reached the door.

Seeing the masters and sons sat down, the maids began to serve vegetables and pour water.

"Hanxue eat by the prince's side." The prince's words caused a series of splashes in the quiet side hall.

"How can the prince do this?" Xi Hanxue covered her mouth in horror, but her heart was already full of joy.

Jiang Miao'er looked jealous, she was the eldest daughter of an upright wife, and Xi Hanxue was also a concubine in the United States. Although she was adopted by the eldest wife, how could she compare to her?The prince is so blatantly eccentric, could it be that he has taken a fancy to Xi Hanxue?
Seeing the prince's words, the palace lady immediately stepped forward and arranged Xi Hanxue's dishes beside the prince, and also prepared a chair for her to sit down.All the people in the hall were surprised by the prince's behavior.

Xi Changning observed the prince, although he deliberately got close to him, it was only on a casual basis.He never said much to Xi Hanxue, even if he had something to say, he deliberately said it out loud to everyone.She knew that the prince must have something to be so deliberate between her and Xi Hanxue. If she wanted to ask what it was, she would not be able to guess it for a moment, so she could only wait quietly for him to let him know.

After lunch, Xi Hanxue happily followed the prince to the garden, pretending that there were no people present here.Maybe only a person like Jiang Miao'er who doesn't know how to know fun will stick to each other.

"Why don't you learn from your sister?"

Xi Changning, who was resting in the pavilion, turned his head to look at what the visitor said.

"Then why doesn't the third prince learn from the prince?"

Seeing Xi Changning's unrelenting words, the third prince Huangfu Shenqian and Yan Xiufeng found stone chairs and sat down.

"I can't compare to the prince." The third prince, Huangfu Shenqian, said with a smile.

"Then I'm naturally not as good as my sister. Besides, why should I worry about these things? Naturally, someone is unhappy. Isn't it? Master Yan."

Being mocked by Xi Changning again, Yan Xiufeng finally lost his face, and he couldn't help but clenched his hands tightly for a burst of heat.

"Xi Changning! What do you mean by that? You only make mocking and sarcastic remarks at such a young age."

"Master Yan, why are you so angry? I'm not talking about you, why are you so anxious?"

"You...Third Prince, please forgive me to step down first."

Before the third prince could reply, Yan Xiufeng had already walked out of the pavilion.At this time, only the third prince and Xi Changning were left in the pavilion.

"Maybe tell me how you met Yan Xiufeng."

Huangfu Shenqian has always been curious about how Xi Changning met Yan Xiufeng.

When I asked her before, she also looked like she refused to be thousands of miles away.

"It's too early for you to imagine. You don't need to spend time on me, I have nothing to tell you." In the previous life, I found out what the third prince was like. He is not a person who is willing to waste time on a worthless person.

"You push me out of the door now, but it's hard to connect you with the person who asked me to marry you yesterday."

"You won't marry anyway, and I won't marry either."

Of course he won't marry her. What the third prince wants is a woman who can be controlled, who can be valuable, but it will definitely not be her, Xi Changning.

When Huangfu Shenqian heard Xi Changning's answer, he was slightly taken aback, and then had a warm smile on his face. It was true that he had never thought about marrying Xi Changning, but it didn't mean that he couldn't start thinking about it now.For as long as he can remember, he must defeat the prince. This has been a deep-seated desire. There is nothing more important than this matter. Of course, getting a wife is also helpful for this matter. Everyone's plan.But such an interesting person, maybe it would be more interesting to marry her.

"Maybe it's not up to you when the time comes."

Huangfu Shenqian looked like he had his own plans in his heart, which made Xi Changning frowned slightly, and began to think in his heart that at most one year the crown prince would have to choose a concubine, and then the prince would choose a concubine. If Xi Hanxue really became the crown princess, she must have It's even more troublesome, and the only way is... But under the current situation, the crown prince rejects her very much.

The prince looked at the two pretentious women beside him, although he was unhappy in his heart, he still had a smile on his face, it was really hard for him.He is good to Xi Hanxue not because of Xi Hanxue's beauty, but for himself. On the one hand, what he needs is a woman who can be controlled, and on the other hand, he is testing Xi Changning to see if this girl is really as smart as he saw before .He must make all preparations for the future, although he is a prince, he is full of wolves and leopards everywhere.Seeing the two women posting it again, he could only smile wryly in his heart: he did it for himself.

After resting for a while, I heard the maid from the court say that Shi Taifu is here.To say that this Shi Taifu has some background, he is forty years old, and he was born as a number one scholar 20 years ago.But being a man is too principled, so even though he is an official, he cannot be promoted as quickly as Xi Jian, who is smooth in everything.

Shi Taifu has been serious and serious since he entered the academy, his eyes are so sharp.Xi Changning was very familiar with this person, and had a relationship in his previous life, but when he met in his previous life, Shi Taifu had already resigned from office and lived in seclusion, while calligraphy and paintings were circulating in the market.When I see someone I know well now, I feel a little turmoil in my heart.

"Practice calligraphy today, and I will check it later. Princes, don't be naughty, or I will report to the emperor one by one."

Sure enough, he is an overly well-behaved Shi Taifu. How can such a person be an official?Fortunately, he is upright and makes many friends.

The pens, ink, papers and inkstones on the desk were all prepared by the ladies in advance, and the copybooks were also placed on one side.Shi Taifu also wrote on the side with selflessness.

Time seemed to be stopped until——
"Changning, what do you think of my writing?"

Xi Hanxue had seen that Xi Changning had stopped writing for a long time. In fact, the family had hired a wife in the early years, but the eldest lady didn't like Xi Changning, so she didn't include Xi Changning in the class at all.In the morning Xi Changning surprised the Grand Tutor so much, in fact she was also surprised.In the past, Xi Changning was envious of their wives attending classes, and always secretly hid in the window to attend classes, so she deliberately asked people to close the windows. How did Xi Changning know these poems?Maybe it's a coincidence, otherwise why would she dare not write until now.

Seeing Xi Hanxue's malicious appearance, Xi Changning immediately returned to his senses, and looked at her handwriting, which was beautiful and beautiful.

"My sister's writing is naturally good."

"Why don't you write? Ah, I forgot, you haven't practiced calligraphy yet."

Xi Hanxue deliberately lowered her voice, but there happened to be a voice that was heard by others.Xi Hanxue's words attracted other people's attention. It was a coincidence that the ink from Xi Changning's pen tip fell on Xi Hanxue's body, and the black ink smudged on the snow-white skirt.

"Changning, what are you doing? My sister is just asking how you write. Why do you treat me like this if you can't write?"

Xi Hanxue's eyes were red, and tears rolled down at random.What a beautiful pear blossom with rain, boundless beauty.

"What to do? Don't talk nonsense when you practice calligraphy!" Shi Taifu said angrily.

"Teacher, Changning her..." Xi Hanxue said with a sob.

"Teacher, I can testify that Changning couldn't get used to sister Hanxue's beautiful handwriting, so she splashed ink." Jiang Miaoer seized the opportunity to slander Xi Changning.

"You bastard! Don't think that you can't do anything if you're the prime minister's daughter! If you don't learn well at an early age, you will be harmful when you grow up!" After hearing what Xi Hanxue and Jiang Miao'er said, Taifu Shi already concluded that Xi Changning was wrong again.

"His Royal Highness, Changning is your companion, so you don't care about her." Xi Hanxue still did not forget to act like a baby to the prince.

Everyone looked at Xi Changning with questioning and responsible expressions, except——
"It's not her." The Fourth Prince Huangfu Zihong actually stood up and spoke for her.

"More fourth princes speak for Changning." Xi Changning looked gratefully at the lively fourth prince.

"Unexpectedly, the queen mother actually found someone who can't write to be the prince's companion. If you say it, you will laugh out loud." The prince's support made Xi Hanxue and Jiang Miao'er even more unscrupulous.

"Brother Huang, why don't you just talk about people without asking clearly?"

The fourth prince, Huangfu Zihong, was puzzled by the prince's behavior, and the prince was not like this usually, why did he take the meaning out of context today without asking?
"When did I say I can't write anymore?" Xi Changning's words made the surroundings quiet again.

Xi Changning picked up a pen and wrote a few words, which were not at all like her daughter's handwriting, which was beautiful and magnificent, and it was hard to think that it was written by a girl.

"How do you know how to write?" Shi Taifu excitedly picked up the wet paper and looked at it.

"It seems that Taifu Shi is very satisfied." Xi Changning was not surprised by Taifu Shi's excitement.

These characters were originally taught by Shi Taifu. In her previous life, in order to be worthy of being the general of Zhen Guo, she knew that she didn't know much, so she heard that there was a resigned Shi Taifu who was called a master of calligraphy, so she went to Begging him to teach her, begging for three days and three nights before he was willing to teach her, now that I think about it, it's ridiculous, the previous life didn't show it, but this life has come in handy.

Xi Changning's writing is not someone else's handwriting, but Shi Taifu's own handwriting. He didn't mention this skill to anyone, because he was afraid of attracting other people's words.After retiring, he saw that Xi Changning was very talented and taught her.And Xi Changning never told anyone about Shi Taifu copying other people's handwriting. After a long time, she can easily copy it as long as she glances at other people's handwriting.

Shi Taifu didn't dare to speak too much, for fear that others would also know that he had this ability, so his surprised expression immediately returned to a serious one.With doubts in his heart, he pretended to ask calmly.

"Can you paint?"

Xi Changning rolled his eyes and pulled up the ink-stained clothes, causing Xi Hanxue to scream.With a few strokes, a pair of ink lotuses bloomed on the snow-white clothes.Everyone present was amazed by the skillful hands, only Shi Taifu was a little startled, because even the brushwork in painting was exactly the same as his.
