princess

Chapter 10

After Xiao Yuanmin worshiped as a master, he was not as free as before. Because the Hongwen Hall only accepts the children of the royal family and high-ranking officials in Beijing over the age of seven, the number of students is not many. Among the sons of Emperor Xuanhe, only Xiao Chengxuan was able to enroll.

Xiao Chengde was three years older than Xiao Yuzuo, and Emperor Xuanhe didn't mention the matter of enlightenment. Although Concubine Shu was anxious, she had no choice but to give up because she couldn't see Emperor Xuanhe, and took the Three Character Classic to teach herself.

Xiao Yuanmin needs to learn a lot, classics and history calligraphy is only the most basic, Wang Guangjian's handwriting is good, calligraphy is taught by him.

Wang Guangjian didn't ask Xiao Yuanmin to copy the copybook as soon as he came up, but asked, "I wonder if the princess has a preference?"

Xiao Yuanmin said, "Not at all."

"Then does the princess keep the calligraphy?" Wang Guangjian asked.

Xiao Yuanmin didn't ask someone to take it, but got up by herself, found a sheet that Emperor Xuanhe asked her to write, and handed it to Wang Guangjian. Wang Guangjian saw that it was the thin gold body that Emperor Xuanhe was best at.

Wang Guangjian thought for a moment, put it aside, took a pen to write a few words, and said, "See which one you like better."

Xiao Yuanmin nodded, took a serious look, and then said, "Changping is dull, he only thinks they are all good-looking, but he doesn't know which one to choose, which one does Master Wang think is more suitable for Changping?"

In fact, Xiao Yuanmin played a narrow-minded game. She didn't ask Wang Guangjian if he had any suggestions, but which one was more suitable for her. Naturally, she wanted to test Wang Guangjian's mind.

Why can't Wang Guangjian see it? He just thinks that after his father's death, even though his mother is protecting him, he still spends his days carefully. Now that Queen Huiyi is gone, although Princess Changping is noble, she is a child who lost her mother. Be careful at such a young age Others plotted to protect his younger brother, and felt a little more pity in his heart, "Princess learns from His Majesty's thin golden body, and it's a bit of a taste. It's a pity to discard it. Why don't you work harder than the princess, and practice two more?"

After hearing Wang Guangjian's words, Xiao Yuanmin felt relieved, pursed his lips and smiled lightly, the dimple on his left cheek was even more adorable, "Changping is not afraid."

"The humble minister is in charge, why not learn the running script and the small script with hairpin flowers." Wang Guangjian pondered for a while and said, "Just learn each of them slowly."

"It's all up to the master." Xiao Yuanmin also had a sense of intimacy in his words.

Wang Guangjian nodded and said no more.

Uncle Liu is over a hundred years old, he is a serious little old man, and he is very good at teaching.

There is also Yao Shengqin, the three of them each teach for one day, one round for three days, and one day for two rounds of rest.

When Xiao Yuanmin met Yao Shengqin, he became a little more affectionate, not like he respected the other Second Masters, "Uncle."

Yao Shengqin also smiled, "Your Royal Highness."

Xiao Yuanmin pursed her lips, and said in a low voice, "My mother used to talk about family affairs, and she was even closer to my uncle. Now that I see my uncle, Yuanmin is very happy." Because she is related to Yao Shengqin, it is not like she is facing Wang Guangjian. When he was with Uncle Liu, he used the title given by Emperor Xuanhe to call himself Yuan Min instead.

Yao Shengqin was told by Xiao Yuanmin that he also remembered what happened to his sister before she got married, sighed, and looked at Xiao Yuanmin with a little closer look in his eyes, "Father also often mentioned the prince and princess. Some time ago, the prince and princess were sick. Father Very worried."

"Grandfather..." Xiao Yuanmin put away the smile on his face, "My mother once said that my grandfather has the best temperament... If there is a chance, I will definitely bring my younger brother to visit my grandfather."

Yao Shengqin nodded, thought for a long time and said, "Princess, although there are third-class teachings from humble ministers, the etiquette and female virtues still need to be educated by the empress in the harem."

Xiao Yuanmin was not someone who didn't know good and bad, after hearing Yao Shengqin's words, he said, "What uncle said is true."

When I lowered my head, I suddenly saw a bright yellow corner of my clothes outside the door, pursed my lips, and said in a low voice, "It's just... I don't know who to let... the mother is gone, I already have... something about my younger brother." Said As she spoke, she shed tears, "If I hadn't thought about my father and my younger brother, I would have gone to my mother and elder brother at that time... Yuan Min was in so much pain..."

Emperor Xuanhe originally thought that Yao Shengqin was his daughter's uncle, and his daughter had already attended class for three days, so he came to see him, fearing that he would disturb her class, so he didn't let anyone inform him, but he didn't want to hear what her daughter said, and his heart was astringent.

Li Dezhong asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, can you still go in?"

"No." Emperor Xuanhe sighed, and looked at his weeping daughter again. Lin'er was dead. How could this woman in the harem really plan for her two children.

I also know that no matter who I choose to teach the female virtues of Xuanxuan etiquette, that person will take the opportunity to please me, and will not teach me sincerely, so I have been hesitating, and now I am afraid that I can no longer hesitate.

It stands to reason that Concubine Lin Gui is the most suitable person in the harem to teach Xiao Yuanmin, but Emperor Xuanhe didn't want to. Instead, he chose the two sisters of the Zheng family who were left behind when Queen Huiyi was still alive. excellent.

The two didn't want to enter the harem at the time, so they approached Queen Huiyi. Queen Huiyi was delighted with her vigilance, so she reported to Emperor Xuanhe and kept them in Zangshu Pavilion. People even called them scholars.

If it hadn't been for thinking about the candidates to teach his daughter female virtues recently, and Li Dezhong reminded that Emperor Xuanhe couldn't think of these two people at all. In this way, Emperor Xuanhe didn't order them to teach the princess right away, but asked Li Dezhong to investigate secretly What these two people did after they entered the palace was considered satisfactory, and they met again in person.

The two sisters of the Zheng family, the elder sister's name is Ruozhuo, and the younger sister's name is Ruoxia. They were grateful for the kindness of Empress Huiyi, but now they have the words of Emperor Xuanhe, and they are even more willing. They only ask Emperor Xuanhe to allow them to comb their hair and become nuns. Mother, serve the princess all her life.

Emperor Xuanhe was completely relieved now, and nodded in agreement. He specially gave the two sisters a trip home, rewarded them with a lot of things to take back, and even appointed their eldest brother as the imperial guard.

When Xiao Yuanmin saw the two sisters, more than ten days had passed. Just as Xiao Yuanmin had finished learning calligraphy, Emperor Xuanhe brought the two sisters over. When Xiao Yuanmin saw Emperor Xuanhe, he quickly got off his chair and saluted.

Emperor Xuanhe picked up his daughter directly, let Wang Guangjian get up first, and then asked with a smile, "Did Xuanxuan listen to the master?"

"Yes." Xiao Yuanmin replied crisply, "Master praised Xuanxuan."

Emperor Xuanhe looked at Wang Guangjian, and Wang Guangjian replied respectfully, "The princess is very hardworking." He also offered the homework done by Xiao Yuanmin.

Emperor Xuanhe held his daughter in one hand and took a look at the paper in the other, "It's really good."

Xiao Yuanmin was praised by Emperor Xuanhe, his eyes narrowed when he smiled, but he still had to pretend to be a little adult, "It's the master who taught me well."

Wang Guangjian also showed a smile on his face, "I don't dare to take credit, it's the princess who is hardworking and studious."

Xiao Yuanmin blushed, rubbed himself into Emperor Xuanhe's arms, and said, "Father, let Master Wang sit down too."

Emperor Xuanhe nodded inwardly, glanced at Wang Guangjian, "Sit down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Father, the masters taught Xuanxuan very hard, and Xuanxuan wanted to send something to the masters." Xiao Yuanmin's voice was soft and soft, which made people's hearts soften.

Emperor Xuanhe asked with a smile, "What does Xuanxuan want to give?"

"Send..." Xiao Yuanmin frowned and thought for a while, "Cakes are delicious."

"Okay." Emperor Xuanhe replied immediately, "Li Dezhong, don't do what the princess says."

"The slave is going here."

Wang Guangjian stood up and saluted, "Thank you Your Majesty and Princess for the reward."

"Get up." Emperor Xuanhe said, "Teach the princess with your heart, and I will reward you in the future."

"Yes."

"Are you done with today's lesson?" Emperor Xuanhe casually flipped through Xiao Yuanmin's handwriting and asked.

"I've learned it."

"Yeah." Emperor Xuanhe looked satisfied, "You go back first."

"Yes."

After Wang Guangjian left, Emperor Xuanhe said, "Is Xuanxuan hungry?"

"I'm hungry." Xiao Yuanmin didn't hide anything, "Father and Xuanxuan, let's go to my brother's place to eat together."

"it is good."

Xiao Yuanmin came down from Emperor Xuanhe's arms, and Bai Nen's little hand held Emperor Xuanhe's big hand, and they walked out together.

This classroom was originally set in the East Palace, not far from where Xiao Yuzuo lived.

The Zheng sisters were left at the door by Emperor Xuanhe, and they were also following behind Emperor Xuanhe at this time. When Mother Zhao saw them, she was slightly taken aback, and understood what Emperor Xuanhe meant, and she was relieved.

Zhao Momo knew the Zheng sisters. At the beginning, she was serving Queen Huiyi, and she wondered why she would help the pair of sisters. Now it seems that her heart trembled. Could it be that Queen Huiyi had expected today, so she came here. With such an arrangement?
Thinking of this, Mammy Zhao felt a little cold. Is this a coincidence or Queen Huiyi's arrangement... Thinking that the first prince had just died not long ago, and Queen Huiyi... Mammy Zhao didn't want to think about it, anyway, Queen Huiyi would never harm her two children.

There is a small kitchen in the East Palace. The cook used to be in the palace of Empress Huiyi. The cakes he made were not sweet, which was exactly the taste that Emperor Xuanhe liked, so in the East Palace, Emperor Xuanhe could also eat a few pieces.

After Xiao Yuanmin and his younger brother ate two small pieces each, they stopped eating.

Xiao Yuzuo pulled Emperor Xuanhe's sleeve, and said pitifully, "More..."

Emperor Xuanhe touched Xiao Yuzuo's belly with a smile, and said, "The belly is round, I can't eat any more, you see, your sister doesn't even eat for you."

Xiao Yuzuo puffed up his cheeks and thought for a while, as if he was in a dilemma, he looked at the cakes and then at his sister, "Xi'er won't eat it, father and sister will eat it."

"Haha, father and sister don't eat it." Emperor Xuanhe asked the maid to take the cake down, rubbed Xiao Yuzuo's head, "Xi'er is a good boy."

Xiao Yuanmin couldn't see that his younger brother was unhappy, so he teased him with gadgets. After a while, the two got into a fight, and Emperor Xuan and Emperor looked at them softly.

After the two of them had finished arguing, Madam Tang and the others took handkerchiefs to wipe the sweat of the two of them, tidied it up, and then Xuan and Di said, "Xuanxuan, Father, I will find you two to talk with you." Is your nanny okay?"

"Xuanxuan has Mother Tang and Mother Zhao." Xiao Yuanmin said with some doubts.

"Wouldn't it be nice to take care of Xuanxuan a little more?"

Xiao Yuanmin thought for a while, "Then let Mother Zhao take care of my younger brother?"

"Okay." Emperor Xuanhe also knew that Madam Zhao was with Empress Huiyi back then, and had rich experience, and he was relieved to have her by Xiao Yuzuo's side.
