princess

Chapter 4

After hearing this, Emperor Xuanhe frowned, and reached out to take the handkerchief. The cat on it was exquisite and cute. At first glance, children liked it. "She doesn't understand etiquette, and Xuan Xuan is not angry." Emperor Xuanhe put the handkerchief away got up, but did not return.

Xiao Yuanmin leaned into the arms of Emperor Xuanhe, and whispered, "Xuanxuan is too petty, and Empress Zhu may not know, Xuanxuan should not sue."

"This is not a complaint. Xuanxuan will naturally tell his father when he is wronged." Emperor Xuanhe smiled and comforted him, "By the way, my father has prepared something for Xuanxuan and Xi'er, and someone will deliver it in a while."

"Okay." Xiao Yuanmin narrowed his eyes and smiled, with a small dimple showing on his left cheek, "Father, Xuanxuan wants to study."

"Reading?" Emperor Xuanhe narrowed his eyes, and said with a smile, "What does Xuanxuan want to read?"

"I don't know." Xiao Yuanmin pinched his younger brother's fingers to play, "Xuanxuan has to learn well, and I will teach my younger brother in the future."

"Father has written it down." Emperor Xuanhe was stunned for a moment before saying, "Xuanxuan will play with my younger brother first, and Father will go to work."

"Okay." Xiao Yuanmin hurriedly pulled his younger brother to stand up, "Father, please pay attention to your health."

"Father wants to eat more... um... cakes." Xiao Yuzuo also said.

"it is good."

After sending Emperor Xuanhe away, Mother Tang stepped forward and asked, "Do you want the princess to use something?"

"Let Nanny Li take my younger brother to use some things." Xiao Yuanmin ordered, "I'll go back to my room for a rest, and I don't need anyone to wait on me."

"Sister." Xiao Yuzuo looked up at Xiao Yuanmin and called.

"Brother, go eat something, and when you wake up, sister will play with you, okay?" Xiao Yuanmin had infinite patience with his younger brother.

Xiao Yuzuo was obviously not happy, but he was more sensible than ordinary children, so he nodded.

Watching Nanny Li bend down and lead Xiao Yuzuo away, Nanny Tang and Nanny Zhao waited on Xiao Yuanmin to lie on the bed, and when the door closed, Xiao Yuanmin turned over and hugged Buhuo into his arms, crying softly, "Mother ..."

Empress Huiyi made a lot of arrangements before her death, and she often called Xiao Yuanmin to her side by herself to explain some things that even Nanny Tang and the others didn't know.

Just like what happened today, Empress Huiyi said that no matter whether it is the Empress Dowager or Emperor Xuanhe, as long as they mentioned about Xiao Yuanmin's education, Xiao Yuanmin and Emperor Xuanhe should act coquettishly and say that they want to study, so that they can teach their younger brothers in the future.

Never agree to keep them with others, not even with the Empress Dowager.Emperor Xuanhe is the only backer of the two siblings in the palace. Emperor Xuanhe must not forget them. If Emperor Xuanhe likes them, if someone from the mother's family enters the harem, they must not get too close. Believe it, She couldn't even let her have a boy, because then the younger brother would have less support.

Xiao Yuanmin didn't understand at first, but since her mother really left, she gradually understood, but the more she understood, the more afraid she became, but she couldn't tell anyone about this fear, nor could she tell anyone about her mother's arrangements, because it was all with her. Something for my brother to save his life.

Just like what the queen mother said, unless her younger brother ascends the throne, she and her younger brother will have no chance of survival.

But the only thing they can rely on now is the emperor father, and the empress mother also said that the emperor's love is the most unreliable, but it is also the last thing to lose.

Her younger brother is young, so she dare not say, her father's children are not only her younger brother and her, she can't say, hugging Buhuo tightly, Xiao Yuanmin doesn't even dare to cry too casually, if his eyes are red and swollen, if someone finds out It's not good anymore.

Will it be like what the queen mother said, when she learns more and knows more things, it will be fine, and she will be able to protect her younger brother better.

It's just why the younger brother can't behave so well, obviously the younger brother can speak in less than six months, and the younger brother is so smart, she asked, but at that time, although the mother didn't cry, she felt that the mother was very sad.

But in the end, the queen mother hugged her and said softly, at that time, with the protection of the queen mother, the elder brother still died of Zaohui, and the younger brother did not have the protection of the queen mother, Zaohui was more terrifying than the reminder.

At that time, the queen mother also required that she must be excellent, even better than those princes, because she had to protect her younger brother, guarding her younger brother instead of the queen mother, and let him finally ascend to the throne.

Empress Huiyi was also helpless, she put all these burdens on her young daughter, but she didn't have much time at that time, so she could only tell her daughter as much as possible, and asked her to remember, but she didn't make her sure. Understand the truth.

It's not that she doesn't feel distressed, but she can't feel distressed. She wants her daughter and son to live.

Nanny Tang and the others stood guard outside, with some worries on their faces. They could see clearly the empress dowager's calculations. Whoever could keep the prince and the eldest princess by their side would be the queen's position.

The empress dowager naturally prefers her niece from her natal family, and what Concubine Lin wants is not that simple, but there are not many people who can compete with Concubine Zhu in terms of status, and Concubine Lin is one.

Concubine Lin has been in the palace for many years, and she is not the kind of person who wants to be top-notch in everything. It is this kind of person, which makes Madam Tang and the others taboo. You must know that Concubine Lin guards such a sick daughter. Although she has never been favored, But the concubine's seat is extremely stable, not only because of her father and brother's power, but also because of her own methods.

However, Concubine Zhu was favored, and Nanny Tang and the others were even less willing to see it. After all, Concubine Zhu's backer was the Empress Dowager, and Concubine Lin's backer was outside the palace no matter how big it was, and the Queen Mother...the two looked at each other, and sighed silently in their hearts tone.

Zhao Momo saw Li Momo coming with the prince in her arms, and quickly saluted and asked, "What's wrong with the prince?"

"The prince is clamoring to see the princess." Nanny Li replied in a low voice.

"I want my sister." Xiao Yuzuo bit his chubby fingers and said, "Sister..."

Xiao Yuanmin didn't fall asleep, and naturally heard his brother's voice, quickly wiped away his tears, and said, "Bring my brother in."

"Yes." Nanny Li didn't blame the princess on what she said, and quickly carried the prince into her arms.

As soon as Xiao Yuzuo saw his sister, he kicked his legs off the ground, "Sister, sister..."

"Don't run away." Xiao Yuanmin pretended to be serious and said, "Let Mammy carry you up."

"Oh." Xiao Yuzuo was a little aggrieved, and obediently stood by the bed, and waited for Nanny Li to take off his shoes and carry him to the bed before crawling to Xiao Yuanmin's side, touching Xiao Yuanmin's face with her plump little hands, "Sister, it's not hard. "

Tang Nanny and the others backed away winkingly, and closed the door. Xiao Yuanmin lay on the quilt with Xiao Yuzuo in his arms, "You run like that, the bed is so high, what if you bump into it?"

"It hurts, it hurts." Xiao Yuzuo spoke at this time, without the vague feeling of being around the empress dowager and the emperor at all. It was very clear that he frowned as if thinking that it would hurt.

"My sister will also feel distressed, so can't I know this in the future?" Xiao Yuanmin said with his arms around his brother's limp and fragrant body.

Xiao Yuzuo nodded, "I know, Xi'er doesn't like Grandma Huang." His voice was muffled, "Sister, I miss my mother."

Xiao Yuanmin patted his head, "My sister is here."

"Xi'er also protects her sister."

After listening to Li Dezhong's report, Emperor Xuanhe pondered for a while, "The eldest princess of Changping pays homage to Uncle Liu, a doctor of Guozixue, Wang Guangjian, a scholar of the Imperial Academy, and Yao Shengqin, a servant of the Ministry of Rites, as teachers, and choose a day to pay homage to teachers."

When Li Dezhong heard it, he knew that Emperor Xuanhe was not only choosing a teacher for Princess Changping, but also paving the way for the prince, and he also showed his attitude.

"You prepare the ceremony yourself." Emperor Xuanhe glanced at the handkerchief, "I have always asked Mr. Zhu to be good at calligraphy, and asked him to copy Buddhist scriptures and pray for the Empress Dowager."

As soon as the imperial decree was issued, Xiao Yuzuo fell ill before he could perform the apprenticeship ceremony. He suddenly developed a fever at night. When Madam Li found out, she quickly woke Madam Tang up. One of them went to report to Emperor Xuanhe and the other to report to the elder Princess.

After Xiao Yuanmin was woken up and found out, she was startled, and ran out wearing sleeping shoes, even wearing only a small coat.

"Hurry up and get your clothes and shoes to put on the princess." Mother Tang shouted anxiously.

Only then did the maid come to her senses, the one who took the clothes took the clothes, the one who took the shoes took the shoes, and hurriedly chased them out, followed by Nanny Tang.

Xiao Yuzuo was so hot that he was in a daze, his cheeks were flushed, even when Xiao Yuanmin called him, he just moaned a few times and did not open his eyes.

"What's wrong with my brother?" Xiao Yuanmin's face turned pale with fright, "Where's the imperial physician?"

"Mother Zhao has already gone to call the imperial physician." Mother Tang who rushed over half-kneeled in front of Xiao Yuanmin and said, "Princess, please allow this servant to put shoes on for the princess."

"Nurse Tang, brother..." Xiao Yuanmin opened his mouth, but was speechless.

"What's going on here?" Because Xiao Yuanmin and the others lived closer to Emperor Xuanhe, Emperor Xuanhe came before the imperial physician. From the sweat on his forehead, it can be seen that Emperor Xuanhe came after hearing the news. Come here quickly.

Seeing Emperor Xuanhe, Xiao Yuanmin seemed to see the backbone, "Father..." Tears were in his eyes, "Look at my brother, Father...save my brother."

Emperor Xuanhe was not in the mood to coax his daughter, he just patted her head, "What about the imperial physician, why is the imperial physician here yet?"

The servants in the palace were trembling, they knelt on the ground and did not even dare to lift their heads.

Emperor Xuanhe sat by the bed and touched his son's head, "Xi'er?"

Xiao Yuzuo groaned, his eyeballs moved, and he opened them after a while, "Unfortunate..."

"Brother." Seeing Xiao Yuzuo woke up, Xiao Yuanmin's face was full of joy, and her younger brother's unmoving and silent appearance just now frightened her.

Nanny Li came over with warm water, Emperor Xuanhe took it, hugged his son and carefully fed him water, "Don't be afraid, the emperor is here."

"It hurts." Xiao Yuzuo drank the water and said in a low voice. Although there are sweets for crying children, sensible children are still more distressing. Emperor Xuanhe is full of love for his son now.

As soon as the imperial doctor on duty got the news, he asked someone to run over with his things. He was already sweating profusely when he came in. When Emperor Xuanhe saw this, his face became better, "Stop saluting, let the prince see first. "
