Wangfu little dumb wife

Chapter 309 Accompanying reading of the eldest prince (2 more)
Empress Su wanted to see Zhao Nuo, but of course she couldn't see her. Emperor Guangxi guarded her more than thieves, and would rather make his hands sore than let her touch it.

Even in order to protect the safety of the Duan Concubine, mother and child of Yonghe Palace, Emperor Guangxi asked Chu Feng to bring a team of inner court guards to guard outside the gate of Yonghe Palace. Without his oral order, no one would even think of going in to visit.

After Empress Su heard about it, she didn't get angry with Emperor Guangxi. She didn't ask people to inquire about the news of Yonghe Palace, and she didn't think hard about how to deal with Concubine Duan. Instead, she often went to Shangshufang to visit the eldest prince Zhao Xi .

There is only such a prince in the entire palace, and he is alone when he goes to and from school every day.

Zhao Xi was the same age as Song Yuanbao, only thirteen years old.

The children in the palace are not bad in appearance, Zhao Xi is already a handsome and handsome boy at such a young age.

As soon as he walked out of the Shang's study room after school, the little father-in-law who waited on him whispered, "Your Highness, the empress is here again."

Zhao Xi put away the folding fan in his hand, and weighed it in the palm of his hand, "Go and answer, just say that I'm going to learn riding and archery in Linyuan today, and I don't have time to see her."

As soon as he finished speaking, Empress Su's laughter came from behind, "No matter how busy the First Prince is, he won't be so busy that he doesn't have time to listen to what I have to say, right?"

Hearing this, Zhao Xi frowned imperceptibly, turned around, and bowed his hands, "I pay my respects to the queen."

Empress Su looked at him kindly, "There is no need to be too polite."

Zhao Xi stood up straight, and said in a calm tone, "Is there anything mother can do with your son later?"

Empress Su waved her hands to make the maid behind her and the little eunuch next to Zhao Xi step back.

Zhao Xi said: "Mother, if you have something to say, please speak directly. My son will have to go to Shanglin Garden in a while. The master is waiting, and the time is a bit rushed."

The alienation and indifference between the other party's words, it's not that Empress Su didn't hear it.

She paused, and cut straight to the point, "You go to and from school by yourself every day, and you go to Shanglinyuan to learn archery by yourself, don't you think it's too boring?"

Zhao Xi remained silent, waiting for Queen Su's next words.

"I'm going to find you a reading companion, what do you think?"

Zhao Xi smiled, "If the emperor agrees, then the minister will have no objection."

In a word, throw the pot to Emperor Guangxi.

There are no simple-minded people in the palace. Empress Su is not surprised that Zhao Xi can handle people and things with ease at such a young age. She smiled, "Then, I will take it as your consent."

After Empress Su left, the little eunuch looked at his master worriedly, "Your Highness, what should we do?"

No matter how blind people are, they can see that the empress has no support from her natal family, and has been threatened by the person in Yonghe Palace. Now she has shifted her target to the eldest prince. If there is no accident, she probably wants to get the eldest prince Go to your own name.

Zhao Xi looked at the direction where Empress Su left, pursed his lips slightly, and said nothing.

Before the day when Emperor Guangxi stayed in Kunning Palace, Empress Su went directly to Qianqing Palace to find someone.

Emperor Guangxi did not evade, and asked Eunuch Cui to invite people in.

"The empress is so anxious to see me, what's the matter?" Emperor Guangxi sat on the dragon chair, tapping the armrest with his fingertips.

Empress Su directly explained the purpose of her visit, "The concubine went to the Minister's study recently, and saw that the eldest prince went to and from school alone, with no brother or brother, so it was inevitable to be lonely, so she wanted to find a companion for him to study with. ?”

Emperor Guangxi understood, "It seems that the empress already has a suitable candidate in mind."

Empress Su nodded, "The young master of the concubine's elder brother's family Xingsi is still studying at the Imperial College. The younger one is not much older than the eldest prince. He is a very well-behaved child. Last year, the Imperial College's end-of-year exam results were also good. Let him take care of it." As a companion, the concubine believes that it will definitely help the First Prince to study more attentively."

The understatement of the proposal not only has a reason to win over the eldest prince, but also can justifiably place his own people beside the eldest prince. More importantly, it gives the Duke's House a chance to make meritorious deeds—if Zhao Xi becomes the emperor in the future, he will not Maybe he killed his companion, so he should be rewarded for his merits.

Three birds with one stone.

Emperor Guangxi squinted his old eyes.

It has to be said that his queen is very scheming and smart.

Curving his lips and smiling, Emperor Guangxi said: "It's rare that the empress has such a heart, take some time, and first invite people into the palace to meet me."

Empress Su didn't expect things to go so smoothly, the joy in her heart didn't show on her face, she smiled slightly, "Tomorrow the Imperial Prison will rest for a bath, and then the concubine will arrange for someone to go to the Duke's Mansion to deliver the oral order."

Emperor Guangxi picked up the teacup, lowered his eyes slightly, and the sharp light in his eyes quickly disappeared.

After taking a rest tomorrow, Su Yaoqi and the others organized a classmate reunion, planning to start on the Jinghu Painting Boat.

When school was over, Su Yaoqi specially stopped Song Yuanbao, told him about it, and asked him if he would like to go tomorrow.

Song Yuanbao originally wanted to refuse, but when he thought about his father often saying that he needed to communicate more with others, he hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Su Yaoqi patted him on the shoulder, "Let's do it this way. See you at Jinghu tomorrow."

After speaking, he enthusiastically sent Song Yuanbao back to their carriage.

One year older this year, Su Yaoqi's mind has matured a lot. When he saw Wen Wan, he was no longer impulsive like last year. He smiled at her and greeted her frankly.

Wen Wan returned a polite smile, and after Song Yuanbao got into the car, he ordered Lin Bo to set off.

On the carriage, the mother and son sat opposite each other.

Wen Wan asked him, "What did you two just say, so happy?"

Song Yuanbao said truthfully: "They are going to have a party on the boat tomorrow and invited me."

Wen Wan was a little worried, "Are you planning to go alone?"

"We're all classmates anyway, so there shouldn't be any major problems, right?"

"That won't work." Wen Wan shook her head, "It's too dangerous."

"But Dad told me to spend more time with my classmates!" Yuan Bao said, "If Mother is worried, I'll go with Duanyan and Huimo."

Duan inkstone and Hui ink were specially bought by Song Wei to serve Yuan Bao, and Yuan Bao personally named them.

In the past few days, the mansion has added many servants one after another, and even added a carriage.

The new house is no closer to the Imperial Academy than the original house, and Song Wei walks too far to go to the government office every day, and the only carriage in the family has to pick up Wen Wan and Yuan Bao.

Wen Wan listened to the words, and was silent for a while, "Okay, you take the two of them with you!"

At most, let Wei Qian assign a few people to follow secretly tomorrow.

It was rare to go out to play, and it was a fine sunny day, Yuan Bao woke up early, took a shower and changed clothes, tidied himself up a bit, with a soft moon-white robe on his body, he looked like a handsome and gentle boy who had just taken shape.

When Wen Wan saw him when she went out, she praised him, saying that the longer the ingot, the better.

Hearing this, the young man who had gradually faded from his youthfulness quietly blushed.

He was looking forward to going to the lake with his classmates to enjoy it, but unexpectedly, after a while, someone from Jingguo's mansion came, saying that the fourth young master of their family was brought into the palace by the emperor, and he couldn't go to Jinghu Lake, so he came here to inform him , by the way, I apologize.

Song Yuanbao felt a little disappointed in his heart, but it was not too obvious. He asked the messenger, "What does the emperor want from him?"

It was Su Yaoqi's book boy who spread the message, knowing that his young master was close to the Song family, he didn't hide it, and said in a low voice, "It seems to be to choose a companion for the eldest prince to read."

"So that's how it is." Song Yuanbao was stunned.

After sending people away, he went back to the house and changed into the soft satin robe, and put back on the usual blue straight gown.

In the main room, Mrs. Song heard Jin Bao, who was standing next to the doorframe, calling her brother. She came out to have a look, and saw the eldest grandson coming this way, and asked him, "Didn't you say you were meeting with your classmates, why did you come back?"

Song Yuanbao didn't explain in detail, but said that something happened temporarily and he couldn't go.

After saying that, he bent down and picked up Jin Bao and held him high.

The two-year-old boy was chubby and weighed heavily. Yuan Bao lifted it up twice, put him down, and asked in his ear, "Does Jin Bao want to learn how to paint? My brother will teach you."

Jin Bao looked up at his brother, his eyes were dark and bright.

Yuan Bao told his grandma, carried the little guy to his own study in the outer courtyard, and began to spread out the rough-edged paper for practice.

The boy was studying ink beside him.

Let Jin Bao sit in front of the desk, Yuan Bao dipped the pen in the ink, handed it to the little guy to hold it, then held his hand, and slowly sketched on the rough-edged paper. The little guy who painted once seemed to have opened the door to a new world, leading his brother to scribble, and finally Yuan Bao looked at the mess on the raw paper: "..."

When Emperor Guangxi saw Su Yaoqi, he casually asked him a few words.

It was not the first time for the boy to meet the emperor, but he was unavoidably nervous when facing Tianwei, and he didn't answer very neatly.

Emperor Guangxi had heard of Su Yaoqi, this is the child of Uncle Guo who grew up in clean water, and never let him get involved in anything about the family.

Empress Su was also present.

Emperor Guangxi didn't directly comment on whether Su Yaoqi was good or not, so he asked someone to invite the eldest prince over, and told him that Su Yaoqi would be his companion from now on, "This young master of the Su family is good at reading, But he is not good at riding and archery, Xi'er, when you go to Shanglinyuan, you must know how to be humble to him."

After receiving the order, Zhao Xi's eyes moved slightly, and his lips curled up slowly, "I obey the order."
