Chapter 22
In fact, as long as you pay attention, you will find that An Wang will talk to Zhao Lu almost every day, what happened in school today, who is it, or what homework you learned today.Ask him again, when he met those people, what did they say, what did Zhao Lu himself say, and who was involved in what happened in the school.Also, what is the meaning of the words of the sages and sages mentioned in the homework.

Uh, this is the elite education of the royal family?

Wang An didn't seem to teach him anything, he just let him say, think, experience and figure out everything by himself, instead of telling him what to think, how to say, and how to do it.

Xiaodong doesn't know if this method is good or not.However, there is one thing she knows.

What is given by others is not your own after all.It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish.

After King An and Zhao Lu finished chatting, he came over to Xiaodong again and asked, "Did you see Miss Qin today?"

King An also knows her?

Xiaodong nodded and said, "The song she sang is very nice."

"Invite her to come to the house to sing for you next time." Wang An patted her head: "Your mother likes rhythm, especially good at flute, you should also learn it. There are now two in the teaching workshop. Good teaching, I can invite you to teach you."

King An paused for a moment, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say any more. He took out a small box, and when he opened it, there were two bodhi fruits inside.

"You and brother each have one. Don't treat it as a snack and eat it casually. Save it for later use."

Uh, the last time they shared the bodhi fruit, it turns out that Prince An also knew about it——

Xiaodong doesn't remember whether he told An Wang about this, maybe Zhao Lu did.

It is also possible that King An is actually clear about what happened in the palace?

Sister Shen Fang and Chen Qiang put the brocade bag on the next day, not to mention, even though it belonged to a barbarian, it was strung with plum blossom ribbons and fringed with tassels underneath, which is not interesting to look at.

Mrs. Hu tied Xiaodong's braids and said softly, "By the way, the day after tomorrow is the ninth day of the lunar new year. The queen mother summoned the princess, and there are two Shen girls entering the palace."

"Ninth day?" What's the talk of this day?
"On the ninth day of every month, the Empress Dowager always summons the clan's wives, princesses, and young ladies into the palace. It's just a routine greeting."

Xiaodong pulled the ends of her braids and looked. Her hair in this life was the same as in her previous life. Although it was as black as ebony and as smooth as satin, it was not dense.In the future, if she wants to comb her hair in a bun like those noble ladies, she must do it with a fake bun.Mrs. Hu said with a slight smile: "It is said that nobles do not deserve to be reissued, and the princess is lucky and blessed."

Even though she said so, Xiaodong still hopes to grow thicker hair.

Shen Qiang was stunned: "Enter the palace?"

"Yes." Mrs. Hu put away Xiaodong's fine hair on the wooden comb and put it into a bag woven of white silk, and Hongying neatly tidied up the dowry in the mirror box with her hands and feet.Xiaodong was short, her feet didn't touch the ground when she was sitting in the chair, Mrs. Hu hugged her down, and said to Shen Qiang: "The two cousin girls have been in the capital for a while, so the palace knows it naturally. The Empress Dowager Shengde always likes her." Younger junior, besides, in another year or a half, the princess will start school. Girl Qiang, you will naturally go to school with the attendant, and then you will have to go to the palace every day, so it's better to get used to it earlier. "

Shen Fang asked softly: "Can sister Qiang also study in Jiyutang?"

Mrs. Hu smiled and said: "As usual, the princess can choose two accompanying students. Our princess can bring one, but there are other princesses who bring one, and there are also families who want to enter the inner school because of their relationship. It’s easy to get married if you increase your talent and fame, so there are quite a few people who bring two of them. Judging by the meaning of the prince, it must be Miss Qiang.”

Yes, Shen Fang nodded.

She is much older than Xiaodong, and the errand of accompanying her can't be left to her.

Moreover, when the family sent them here, I'm afraid they had already thought about it.Shen Qiang can read to the princess and get to know more people.Moreover, she once read to the princess and studied in the palace, so her status will naturally be raised when she gets married in the future.

And her...the family hopes that she can be with Zhao Lu...

Shen Fang was in a daze all day long. Even Fu Hai, the steward, specially sent someone to explain to them the etiquette in the palace, how to salute, what to avoid and what to pay attention to. .

"Sister Fang, what are you thinking about today? You have been distracted all afternoon."

Shen Fang came back to her senses and shook her head slightly: "Well, it's nothing..."

"Are you thinking about entering the palace, and you are not sure?" Shen Qiang said, "I am also a little scared. However, I heard that the Empress Dowager Shengde is an excellent person, and the Empress Dowager Shengci has a lonely personality, which is not very good... ..."

"Don't talk nonsense, what do you know?"

Shen Fang remembered what her mother said, the Empress Dowager Shengde had no children but was always loved by the late emperor, and her position in the middle palace was unbreakable.If there is no scheming, how can this position be secure?The emperor's biological mother is the Empress Dowager Wang Shi, but the Wang family still has to serve as a concubine in front of the Chen family.The emperor's main empress, Li Shi, was also from a wealthy family, but Chen Shi still had to listen to any important matters in the court.

This is very wrong.

My mother said so, and so did my aunt.

It would be fine if the emperor's own mother, the Empress Dowager Shengci, is in charge of the house, or if the Empress Li is in charge of the palace.

"I'm afraid it will be sooner or later..." Although the mother didn't continue, Shen Fang could figure it out.

I'm afraid there will be trouble sooner or later.

At this time, the Empress Dowager Shengde called them into the palace together, just to take a look at it so simple?

Shen Fang is not as optimistic as Shen Qiang.

On the ninth day of the lunar new year, she got up early again, this time Zhao Lu couldn't accompany her, he had to go to school, even though they shared the same car, they separated after entering the palace gate.

This kind of thing like entering the palace is also familiar with the first time, compared to Shen Fang and Shen Qiang, Xiaodong is a veteran.

The hall is still full of clothes and temples, full of colorful eyes.Xiaodong felt different from the first time she came here - last time she always felt that she had fallen into the spider spirit's coiling hole, her eyes were dazzled and it was difficult to distinguish things, and the women in the room smelled suffocating.

This time, there is no need to look around, and I bow down to the Queen Mother first.

The Empress Dowager Shengde said with a smile: "Get up quickly," and said to the people next to her: "Today, I can be regarded as kneeling firmly, and I didn't stagger around."

Xiaodong stood up, Shen Fang and Shen Qiang bowed and saluted.

"Hey, these are the two maids of the Shen family? Come up here and let me have a look."

Shen Fang and Shen Qiang walked in front of her, Mrs. Shengde looked at each of them, and said with a smile: "All are fine." He ordered people to reward two gifts for their meeting, and then took Shen Fang's hand and said: "This girl She looks a lot like her aunt. I remember when Ping Yatou entered the palace for the first time, she was the same age, right?"

The Empress Dowager Shengci said flatly, "It's about the age of twelve or thirteen."

"Yes, I also said at that time that this girl has a good character, she is quiet and generous, whoever marries her is really lucky, and it turned out that she married Duan'er later on."

King An's name is Zhao Duan.

Shen Fang lowered her head shyly, and the Empress Dowager Shengci asked again: "I heard that Shen San has also arrived in the capital?"

"Exactly, cousin, he is studying in Jixian Hall with the son."

"I heard that he is a famous talent. He Dong is really an outstanding man."
