Chapter 753 Fairy Tale
Seeing that Yan Dashuang finally nodded and agreed, the Ninth Prince was afraid that he would repent, so he hurriedly stuffed the album into his bag.

Thinking that there will be good stories to read in the future, the Ninth Prince almost laughed out loud.

That silly look made Yan Dashuang glance at him with contempt, to see his future.

After finally finishing school, the Ninth Prince walked away very quickly this time, as if a wolf was chasing him after him.

Concubine De was very surprised that he returned to the palace so quickly, as usual he would have to hang out for an hour.

This child is very playful, how could he return to the palace so quickly?
Concubine De felt very unusual.

She stepped forward and asked, "But what's wrong with your body?"

"Mother and concubine, my son has suddenly come to his senses and is determined to study hard, so don't bother him with his study." The Ninth Prince picked up the homework assigned by the Tai Tuo today, and raised his head calmly.

Seeing the Ninth Prince working so hard, Concubine De felt that her painstaking education a while ago was not in vain.

Anyway, let him listen in.

Seeing the impatient expression of the Ninth Prince, Concubine De hurriedly backed out, fearing that her fussy actions would arouse his resentment, lest she suddenly not want to study again.

In order not to make the Ninth Prince feel more at ease, she made a special trip to evacuate the palace maids and eunuchs who were waiting outside, leaving only one eunuch guarding the gate outside the hall.

The Ninth Prince looked around and found that no one was looking at him anymore, he let out a long sigh of relief.

He took out the comic book that he borrowed from Yan Dashuang from his bag, and skilfully swept over the homework on the table.

Putting the comic book on it, he sat up straight and slowly flipped through the first page.

Just looking at his back, he really looks like he is reading a book.

This comic book was something that the Ninth Prince had never seen before. The characters in the paintings were so novel that the Ninth Prince became addicted.

The first thing he saw was an illustration, which showed a little dusty girl in very novel clothes, with a huge skirt that spread out in a fan shape.

It read: Once upon a time, there was a little girl whose mother died early, and her father married a beautiful woman, who often asked her to do rough and dirty work. Her white skirt was stained with ashes from the stove, The whole person looks dirty, because she often wears white skirts in gray, so she is called Cinderella by her two sisters.

Ninth Prince rubbed his chin, it seems that this little girl is quite miserable.

He looked at it quickly again. The picture album is full of pictures and texts, and it is easy to feel a sense of substitution.

When he saw that the prince didn't recognize Cinderella, the Ninth Prince couldn't help worrying about her, and when he saw that Cinderella's two sisters had hurt his own feet in order to marry the prince, his brow showed a trace of disdain and contempt.

The Ninth Prince continued to scroll down, and he was relieved when he saw that Cinderella finally married the prince: "That's right."

"Where is it?" a voice asked.

"Of course the prince should..."

The Ninth Prince blurted out without even thinking about it.

Halfway through the conversation, he suddenly froze in place, and the mother and concubine had already retreated to the left and right, so why is there still a sound here?

He suddenly turned his head to see a bright yellow figure standing coldly in front of him.

The Ninth Prince fell backward in fright. Fortunately, the ground was covered with thick blankets, which prevented him from falling too painfully.

Even in pain, he didn't dare to show his teeth in front of the emperor.

The mother and concubine said that he must have royal dignity.

"Speak, why don't you continue?" The emperor strode forward and picked up the comic book on the case.

"Father, my son is wrong."

"Okay, I heard from your mother and concubine that you really regretted it, so I thought about stopping by to see you. This is great. I was here to peek at the picture album." Here comes the album.

He wanted to see what it was, it was so attractive.

Seeing the emperor's unkind eyes, the Ninth Prince didn't care about the pain, and quickly knelt down: "Father, calm down, I borrowed this book from Yan Chu, and I promised him to return it. Nothing must be missed.”

Feeling that he was afraid that he would be torn apart in a fit of anger, the emperor was furious: "You still know how to keep your promise, so why can't you study hard?"

The Ninth Prince didn't dare to answer. Countless experiences told him that when his father was angry, it was best to wait for him to calm down before speaking.

Concubine De gouged out the Ninth Prince's glance at the side, she originally planned to let the emperor see his son's serious study, so that the emperor could improve, but who knew that he was secretly reading the picture book here.

She was also furious, and wanted to reprimand him, but seeing the emperor on fire, she hurried up and patted the emperor on the back: "Your Majesty calm down, don't be so angry, they are all concubines, concubines, concubines." The teaching is in place, if His Majesty wants to punish, punish the concubines."

Saying that, Concubine De made a gesture to kneel down.

The emperor quickly helped her up: "What does it have to do with you! How can you bear the responsibility of this unfilial son's mistakes?"

Taking advantage of this time, Concubine De quickly winked at the Ninth Prince.

The Ninth Prince hurriedly knelt down beside the emperor to admit his mistake: "Father, calm down, I know my mistake, and I will not do it again in the future."

When he said this, he still hugged the emperor's thigh and did not let go, with tears in his big eyes, looking very pitiful.

The emperor loved his son who looked like his own very much. After all, it was his son. He couldn't bear his small body to kneel for too long, so he asked him to get up after saying a few words.

The emperor's gaze shifted to the album in his hand. He always knew that this child didn't like reading, and he rarely took the initiative to look at anything.

What is the magical power of this album that can make him so obsessed?
With such doubts, the emperor opened the album.

The purpose of entry is some small figures with strange shapes, and there are some small characters at the bottom.

The emperor was more and more amazed. There were almost no paintings like this style in the current dynasty. Literati and inkmen preferred to paint some landscape paintings, such as figure paintings, which were even rarer.

But the characters in this album are very different from ordinary portraits.

It may be said that this painting is not a human being, but it has a nose and eyes, and every strand of hair shows that it is a human being.

But the looks of these people are extremely exaggerated, not like the ones that literati in our country would draw.

The emperor turned to the Ninth Prince: "Where did you say you got this album? Yanchu?"

"Father, Yan Chu is Madam Yan's eldest son. Yan Chu said that this album was drawn by his mother when he was enlightening them. My son thought it was novel, so he asked to have a look." The Ninth Prince had an obedient expression.

"Madam Yan?" The emperor pursed his lips.

It's her again.

It turned out to be her, so this style of painting is understandable.

Seeing the emperor's slightly appreciative expression, Concubine De also leaned over to look at it: "Your Majesty, this style of painting is so unique."

When she was not in the palace, she was also a well-known talented woman. Naturally, she was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but the style of this painting is really unprecedented in her life.

"You find it strange?"

"Your Majesty, look, the place where the pen is written is too round, but it's too sharp when you look at its movements. It's really strange that the combination of these two can make people accurately distinguish what it is." Concubine De took it and looked at it carefully. , said.

"Madam Yan is different from ordinary women, so it's not incomprehensible that this style of painting is peculiar."

Concubine De said with a little jealousy: "Your Majesty, you have a really high opinion of Madam Yan."

The emperor smiled and did not explain, and turned to the Ninth Prince: "Is this album taken out of Yan Chu's class?"

"Father, it was my son who didn't believe that Yan Chu's mother would draw such a booklet for him yesterday, so Yan Chu brought it from home to convince me that it was shared after class, not during the Taifu class. Proceed." The Ninth Prince quickly explained.

Although he didn't like that kid Yan Chu, he still had to take the blame.

The emperor took back the booklet and said calmly: "I know, I will return this album to Yan Chu for you."

"Ah? Royal father, can I ask my son to pay it back in person?" He hasn't finished reading it yet, so why did he pay it back.

"Are you dissatisfied with my arrangement?"

The Ninth Prince wept with a mournful face: "I dare not."

Naturally, the emperor didn't make a special trip to return it. He just left Yan Qinghe alone after he left court the next day.

Yan Qinghe stood aside respectfully: "I don't know what your majesty wants to order?"

The emperor winked at the chief eunuch, and the chief eunuch hurried to Yan Qinghe and handed him a brochure.

Yan Qinghe was still a little dazed when he took it in his hand, he looked up suspiciously.

"This picture album was borrowed by Yan Aiqing's eldest son from Zhen Xiaojiu, and it accidentally fell to me, so I returned it for him." The emperor still had that inscrutable expression.

Yan Qinghe looked it over, and recognized that it was his wife's style, so he began to care about it immediately.

Although the emperor said verbally that it was left on him by accident, it was just a picture book. Since it was borrowed by a child, it would naturally be returned by the child, and there was absolutely no reason for an adult to return it.

Even if it falls to the emperor, the emperor can send it back, why bother.

I'm afraid it has a deep meaning.

This might be a reminder from the emperor.

Tell his family, Zai Zai, not to give these things to the Ninth Prince.

He had long heard that the emperor was very strict with the Ninth Prince, but he never imagined that it would be so strict that he would not even be allowed to read a picture book of stories.

Yan Qinghe lowered his head slowly, concealing the surprise in his heart: "My minister thanked His Majesty, this album, I will return it to the dog."

Seeing Yan Qinghe's interest, the emperor didn't say much.

Everyone is a sensible person, and he didn't intend to punish anything at first, but he just wanted Yan Qinghe to take good care of his son and avoid doing something irrelevant to knowledge.

His son, he knows, does not have a certain way of doing things. If there is any distraction around him, he will definitely be able to play for a day.

He naturally knew how fascinating this picture album was, but the more so, the more he couldn't touch it.

This was the first lesson he taught Xiao Jiu.

Don't touch some things that don't fit your identity.

He was educated by his father since he was a child, and he was strict and self-restraining to the extreme. I believe his Xiaojiu will persevere, and he will be as outstanding as him in the future, no, even better than him.

When Xiao Jiu grows up, he will understand his good intentions.
