princess

Chapter 24

Xiao Yuanmin's current life is very fulfilling, but it is also very hard. Emperor Xuanhe specially bestowed a medical girl who can massage and massage, so that she can get up and continue studying the next day.

Nanny Tang shed tears several times behind Xiao Yuanmin's back, that was the child she had grown up with, how could she not feel distressed.

When Emperor Xuanhe came to the martial arts training ground, he saw his daughter shooting arrows, her face was tense and serious, it really seemed like that.

He stopped the palace people who wanted to report, and he didn't go out until the arrow in Xiao Yuanmin's hand was shot.

Little Madam Zheng half knelt on the ground to help Xiao Yuanmin wipe off his sweat. Seeing Emperor Xuanhe, Xiao Yuanmin's eyes lit up, "Father Emperor."

"How is Xuanxuan practicing?" Emperor Xuanhe asked with a smile on his face.

"Master said that Xuanxuan has made progress." Xiao Yuanmin said with a little complacency, "It's just that it's far behind the two elder brothers, so we must continue to work hard."

Emperor Xuanhe looked at the master who was kneeling at the side teaching Xiao Yuanmin archery, and the master was also shocked, "His Royal Highness is very hardworking."

In fact, Xiao Yuanmin really has no talent in archery, but hard work can make up for it, so it is still good.

Emperor Xuanhe nodded in satisfaction, "Why is your head full of sweat?" He took out his handkerchief and helped Xiao Yuanmin wipe off his sweat.

Xiao Yuanmin pursed her lips and smiled, "It's okay."

"Hmm." Emperor Xuanhe took a look, only his daughter was practicing here, "Where are your two older brothers?"

"Second brother and fourth brother are at the racetrack." Xiao Yuanmin said, "Father, let's go and see the two brothers, okay?"

"Alright."

Seeing that Emperor Xuanhe and Princess Changping were about to leave, Little Mother Zheng hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Princess, please moisten your mouth first."

Xiao Yuanmin blushed, "I forgot, father, I'll go drink water first."

"Okay." Emperor Xuanhe's eyes were soft, but he was not angry because of Little Zheng's stop, after all, Little Zheng was only thinking about her daughter.

What Xiao Yuanmin drank was herbal tea, which the imperial physician specially prepared for Xiao Yuanmin. After drinking a cup, Xiao Yuanmin ran back to Emperor Xuanhe and said coquettishly, "It's not good."

"For Xuanxuan's health, remember to drink it." Emperor Xuanhe smiled and nodded his daughter's nose, "Don't drink it if you don't think it tastes good."

Xiao Yuanmin's eyes widened, "Everyone who is obedient to Xuanxuan drinks."

"Good boy." Emperor Xuanhe rubbed his daughter's head, "Father will give you a reward."

"it is good."

When I arrived at the racecourse, I saw the second prince shooting arrows while the fourth prince was riding a horse. When he saw Emperor Xuanhe, he hurriedly got down and greeted Emperor Xuanhe.

"Get up." Emperor Xuanhe said with a smile, "I don't have anything to do today, so let's see how your practice is going."

"Thank you for your concern." The fourth prince was full of admiration, "It's just that my son is not as good as the second brother."

"I just took advantage of my age." The second prince said with a smile, "The fourth brother is much more talented than me."

Emperor Xuanhe nodded, and the master who invited the two of them asked a few words, and said, "You all have to guard against arrogance and impetuosity, you understand?"

"Yes."

Xiao Yuanmin looked enviously at the big horses in the racecourse, and sighed, "When will Xuanxuan be able to ride a horse?"

"Old General Lin is coming back soon. I heard that he has brought a few good horses. Among them is a small one, which will be given to Xuanxuan. When Xuanxuan raises the pony up, he can ride it." Emperor Xuanhe laughed. said.

"it is good."

The fourth prince envied him in his heart, although there were good horses in the stables in the palace, they were incomparable to those brought back by Old General Lin.

Emperor Xuanhe patted his daughter's head, "Let's go and see the prince together."

"Yes."

When Emperor Xuanhe left, Xiao Yuzuo and Murong Xi were doing their homework. Although Murong Xi was studying with Xiao Yuzuo, they were different in age and their homework was also different.

Seeing Xuanhe Emperor Xiao Yuzuo's eyes lit up, and after saluting with Murong Xi, he said, "Father, hurry up and help Xi'er to see if the homework is correct, the master will punish Xi'er again if the writing is not good."

Emperor Xuanhe smiled and tapped his son's head, "I'm not afraid of being laughed at."

Xiao Yuzuo patted his head, "Murongxi was punished too, my brothers and sisters are all from my own family, so Xi'er is not afraid."

The master didn't relax just because Xiao Yuzuo was the prince, on the contrary, he was more severe, and he was often punished.

Xiao Chengxuan said with a smile, "Brother Prince, how much were you fined last time?"

"Ten big characters." Xiao Yuzuo wrinkled his face, "A lot."

"It's not because you have no books and haven't memorized them well." Xiao Yuanmin said.

"Sister." Xiao Yuzuo said coquettishly, "How did you say that?"

Emperor Xuanhe has already picked up Xiao Yuzuo's homework, although there are still shortcomings, he has improved a lot, and picked up Murongxi's, nodding in satisfaction, at this age, Murongxi is probably the best.

"Okay, you learned well." Emperor Xuanhe said.

Xiao Yuzuo smiled triumphantly.

"I am very optimistic about Murong Xi." Emperor Xuanhe said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Murong Xi knelt down and saluted with excitement on his face.

"The weather is nice outside, Father, why don't we go to the garden together." Xiao Yuanmin said with a smile, "Let Nanny prepare some tea and relax."

"Alright."

Li Dezhong said in a respectful voice, "The flowers on the side of Donghai Pool are blooming just right, why don't you arrange it first?"

"En." Emperor Xuanhe nodded, "There is no need to take a sedan chair, let's walk over, just take a walk."

"Yes."

The fourth prince smiled and said, "Sister, I still want to drink that milk tea. I always think my sister's tastes better."

"Let Madam Zheng prepare it." Xiao Yuanmin said, "Fourth brother and younger brother like the same taste, and I like the same taste as second brother."

Emperor Xuanhe was delighted to see the good relationship between his children, "What about the father?"

"Well, we both have the same taste as Father." Xiao Yuanmin smiled, "Father likes both."

Xiao Yuzuo also nodded, "It's all the same."

The second and fourth princes also said, "Sister is right."

"You guys..." Emperor Xuanhe was not angry, "We are all on good terms with Xuanxuan, not with Emperor Father."

"My brothers love me." Xiao Yuanmin said proudly, "My brother is sensible."

"You're the only one with a lot of reason." Emperor Xuanhe patted Xiao Yuanmin on the head.

"By the way, the sixth brother is too young to come, so let someone call the second sister, okay?" Xiao Yuanmin said.

"Yes." Emperor Xuanhe responded, "Send someone to call."

Only then did Xiao Yuanmin call Xiaozheng over, "Go to Penglai Hall and tell the imperial concubine to ask the second younger sister to come to Donghai Pool, and we will wait for her there." After finishing speaking, he looked at Emperor Xuanhe, "Is it okay, Father?" ?”

"Ah."

Little Madam Zheng bowed before leaving.

Walking on the road, Xiao Yuanmin ordered, "Second sister is weak, Madam Zheng, go to the kitchen and ask them to make some easy-to-cook pastries. Besides those, there are also lotus seed cakes, sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, butterfly cakes, chestnut cakes and mung bean cakes." Emperor Xuanhe and the second prince liked lotus seed cake and chestnut cake, while osmanthus cake and butterfly cake were slightly sweeter, which Xiao Yuzuo and the fourth prince liked, while mung bean cake relieved the greasy taste. "In addition to milk tea, prepare Some almond tea, jujube tea."

"Choose fruits that are in season, not those that are angry. The second sister has used them a lot."

Emperor Xuanhe listened to his daughter's orderly instructions, and was satisfied in his heart. She was very thoughtful, and everyone thought of it.

"Father, second brother, fourth brother, and younger brother, do you want to eat anything else?" Xiao Yuanmin asked.

"You can make arrangements." Emperor Xuanhe said with a smile.

Xiao Yuanmin looked at the two elder brothers, and the fourth prince also said, "I have prepared all the sisters I want to eat, very good."

Seeing the appearance of the fourth son as a young adult, Emperor Xuanhe laughed out loud, "No wonder you two have a good relationship."

"Sister, I don't like drinking jujube tea." Xiao Yuzuo commented, "It's not good."

"Drink jujube tea to nourish your health. Your second sister is not in good health, so drink this." Xiao Yuanmin explained, "You drink milk tea with fourth brother, father, second brother drinks almond tea, and I accompany second sister to drink red date tea."

"That's good." Xiao Yuzuo breathed a sigh of relief, and then said to Emperor Xuanhe in a serious manner, "Red jujube tea is very bad."

Emperor Xuanhe touched Xiao Yuzuo's head, "You can't dislike good things just because you don't like them. Do you want to understand that good medicine is bitter?"

Xiao Yuzuo thought for a while, then nodded, "Then my second brother and fourth brother and I will have a cup of jujube tea."

"Why should I be counted." The fourth prince made a bitter face.

"Because we are brothers, we have to eat delicious food together, and we also have to eat bad food together. My sister drank with my second sister." Xiao Yuzuo said naturally, "Second brother also wants to drink."

The second prince smiled, "Okay, let's drink together."

"Well, father wants to drink too." Xiao Yuzuo looked at Emperor Xuanhe, "Let's drink together."

Emperor Xuanhe shook his head with a smile, "Have you thought of anything else?"

"Well, the master punished me and was strict with me for my own good." Xiao Yuzuo paused and continued, "Just like drinking that jujube tea, I will listen more and think about it in the future, and I won't make mistakes again... You will make mistakes, and you will not make the mistakes you were punished for."

Emperor Xuanhe nodded in satisfaction. Although his son's words were simple, the truth was correct, "You should do the same, you know?"

"Yes."

"Hey, is someone crying?" Xiao Yuzuo suddenly asked.

Emperor Xuanhe stopped in his tracks, frowned and glanced at Li Dezhong. Li Dezhong was covered in cold sweat. He arranged to go to Donghai Pool, and any mistakes would be blamed on him. .

Xiao Yuanmin lowered his eyes slightly, already thinking about it in his heart.

Murong Xi wished he could not come to the palace today because of his illness. If it was some secret in the palace, would he be silenced? He secretly glanced at the prince, hoping there was nothing shameful about it.

It didn't take long for Li Dezhong to come back, followed by a woman in a white gauze dress, her eyes were reddish, but she didn't look embarrassed, instead she had a different style.

Xiao Yuanmin looked at it for a while before remembering who it was. Seeing that Emperor Xuanhe frowned, she said in a low voice, "It seems to be the daughter of King Daxi."

Because King Daxi and his three sons lived in the mansion of the king, but the two daughters stayed in the palace, and Emperor Xuanhe sent a nanny to teach the etiquette of the Jin Dynasty. In fact, King Daxi's move was also aggravating his daughter Weight, it will be easy to marry when the time comes, after all, the palace learned the rules and went out, no one would dare to say that foreigners are not polite.

Emperor Xuanhe was reminded by his daughter, and then he remembered, "Get up." Then he glanced at his daughter.

Only then did Xiao Yuanmin move forward, took out a handkerchief and said softly, "What's wrong with this sister?"

"I'm just homesick." The woman took the veil and secretly glanced at Emperor Xuanhe before lowering her head and whispering.

That look was somewhat soft and exotic.

"It seems that the servants in the palace did not take good care of them." Xiao Yuanmin smiled, "Father is the most kind, why don't you send my sister back to Daxi County Prince's Mansion tomorrow."

Hearing this, Murong Xi already understood Princess Changping's plan, and felt both admiration and chills in her heart. The younger sister who is the same age as the princess at home is not so calculating at this age, and even her mother may not be able to keep up.

"No...no need." The woman hurriedly refused, but she didn't answer the question of whether the service was thoughtful or not. After all, Xiao Yuanmin said the two sentences in sequence, one was served by the palace servants, and the other was sent back to the mansion. Knowing which is more serious will naturally justify the more serious one.

"Oh." Xiao Yuanmin also continued to persuade, "My sister came to the palace to learn the rules. She is a distinguished guest, but the palace people are not good at serving her. Father and daughter have just learned some rules from Madam Zheng. How about letting my daughter handle it?"

"Okay." Emperor Xuanhe nodded. In fact, it was Emperor Xuanhe who signaled Xiao Yuanmin to go out to intervene. If there is a concubine accompanying Emperor Xuanhe at this time, it is natural for the concubine to deal with it. But only Xiao Yuanmin is either the emperor or If the crown prince were not the prince, they would not be allowed to deal with the affairs of the harem. Xiao Yuanmin's question was in line with Emperor Xuanhe's intention.

"Bring all the maids and eunuchs who served the daughter of Daxi County King to the Department of Shenxing, and all of them were executed with sticks. They didn't take good care of the distinguished guests." Xiao Yuanmin said sharply.

"No, they serve you very well." The woman said quickly.

"Since my sister begged for mercy, then all twenty canes will be used. If there is another time, I will be killed." Xiao Yuanmin smiled gently. Suffered.

In fact, Xiao Yuanmin's original intention was to do just that, and the stick was just to frighten her. At the beginning, Xiao Yuanmin had sympathized with the pair of sisters, but now he is filled with disgust.

These two people are quite capable, they were able to attract eyeliner not long after entering the palace, they knew the whereabouts of Emperor Xuanhe, and they waited here today, saying that they were not seducing Emperor Xuanhe, even the blind would not believe it.

Murong Xi took a look at Xiao Yuanmin, lowered his eyes slightly, he thought it was better not to offend the eldest princess, fish... just listen to his grandfather, maybe just vomit.
