eye-catching

Everyone in the palace knew that the crown prince and the third prince had returned, so the draft memorial was useless. Concubine An was still teaching the etiquette in the second emperor's uterus. I can't help but sigh in my heart, it seems that there is no hope for the second prince to succeed to the throne, but I can't talk nonsense, even if I think about it in my heart, it must be appropriate.

When the second prince heard that the prince would come back in a few days, he only said: "The prince is really blessed."

"I'm afraid I met a nobleman."

Concubine An naturally understood that she had to speak nicely when speaking in the palace, otherwise at her age, she might not be able to climb up to the position of First Grade Concubine.It's strange to say that since the queen gave birth to Princess Anping, the emperor didn't come to the queen's place very often. I'm afraid that because the queen took care of Princess Anping herself, she was tired day and night and often couldn't sleep well at night, so in the harem, Concubine Ling just gave birth to a dragon heir, and Concubine Chang was sick in bed, so she and Concubine Li were the only concubines of the first grade. I thought that the emperor would favor these two, but I didn't expect that the emperor would be scolded by the queen mother for a while. After the meal, he didn't come even once, and Eunuch Zhang accompanied him every night to review the memorial.

The father-in-law Zhang didn't expect why the emperor suddenly cared so much about all sentient beings. Obviously, before the morning court, he sometimes didn't come, so Xiangguo had no choice but to inform the emperor that the dragon's health was not in order, but now not only the morning court, but also extended the time. This is unique.

The emperor's diligence naturally drove the operation of the entire palace. Before, he could be lazy. These six ministers sat in the lobby every day and had nothing to do, but now it is different. Even a small case of stealing chickens and dogs, the Criminal Department He didn't dare to neglect, and quickly sent people to appease the people.

The two of them told the emperor what happened that day, and only then did they realize that what the little eunuch said was true, but why they couldn't find the valley is a mystery. Returning in vain is simply strange!Can't get out, can't get in, is there a monster in this valley?

Naturally, I didn’t tell the two children about this, but Fuyi thought it was strange that the father sent people to look for them, but they didn’t find it. Obviously, the valley is a very conspicuous place, and you can reach it by walking all the way to the south. Why didn't the Imperial Forest Army find it?

The little eunuch was indeed wronged by death, so no one else could be blamed for that.

Since the prince came back that day, he had been talking to Fuyi every day about how good the two elder brothers were, but he left without even asking for a reward.Only then did Fuyi remember the incident with the handkerchief that day.

He took out a handkerchief, handed it to the prince and said, "Look, what is written on it?"

"can't read."

The prince took the handkerchief and said, "We just took something written by someone else, will they come to us after they find out?"

Fuyi shook her head and said, "I guess not, this is obviously my handkerchief."

The prince pouted and said: "This handkerchief is nothing important, the queen mother gave me a lot, why do you want it back?"

Fuyi approached him and whispered, "We stayed there for so many days, and there really was no one except our two elder brothers."

"So what?"

"I don't know. But there are only two people in a village, don't you think it's strange?"

Fuyi gave him the handkerchief and said, "Keep it, maybe you can find them later."

"Really?"

When the prince heard this, he hurriedly hid the handkerchief.

After experiencing this incident, the emperor did not dare to take the two of them out easily. In this winter, everyone was bored in the palace. Fuyi couldn't find any fun and just accompanied the prince to recite. The son was also bored, and pulled humanity: "Let's go to see the princess!"

The prince had heard that the princess stopped being noisy when she saw Fuyi, and now she was interested, so she followed Fuyi to meet her sister.

Unexpectedly, Princess Anping smiled when she saw Fuyi, but when she saw the prince coming up, she immediately wrinkled her face and cried loudly.

The queen joked: "Lu'er, it seems that you scared my sister."

The crown prince was also at a loss at the moment, instead he became angry and sullen, saying: "Fuyi won't cry when she sees her. I'm going to cry when I come, isn't it against me!"

Fuyi leaned over to him and smiled: "Why don't you smile at her."

Xuemei also responded, "This little princess actually likes to laugh."

The prince was awkward, and refused to laugh for a long time, until Fuyi pulled him and asked him to come closer to the princess, the prince touched the little princess's face, and said softly: "Yuan'er, don't cry anymore——"

The little princess stopped crying immediately and threw herself into her brother's arms.

The queen and Xuemei laughed at the side, it seems that this little princess is quite cute.

The prince looked at Fuyi maliciously, and said: "In the past, Fuyi was just like Yuan'er, and wanted me to hug her."

Fuyi blushed all of a sudden, turned her face away and said nothing.

This made Xuemei so happy, she only heard her say: "That's right, when I was young, His Highness the Third Highness liked to pester His Highness the Crown Prince!"

The queen laughed: "It's different now, this Lu'er can't leave Yi'er for a second."

"How can I have it!"

The prince also blushed now, and argued.

"Yo, are you still shy?"

Xuemei liked to tease the prince, and seeing the prince blushing, she laughed even more happily.

The prince hugged the princess, but ignored Xuemei.

The princess called "Brother" in a soft voice, which melted the prince's heart. From then on, the prince really found that the little princess was not as annoying as before. Instead, he often came to see her , and even Fuyi followed.

This day the queen went to look for the emperor, and the prince took Fuyi to see the princess. He was a bit interested in seeing Xuemei teaching a few maids to tie knots with a red thread, so he came over and asked, "What are you doing?" ?”

Xuemei hurriedly pushed the crown prince aside, and said, "This is something that women only learn, Your Highness, you should hurry to the side!"

Fuyi looked at it, tilted her head and said, "Are you tying a knot?"

The prince looked at the red thread in the hands of the female workers and said curiously: "I want to learn too!"

Xuemei hurriedly pulled him away, and said, "Your Highness, it's time to go study!"

Fuyi was pulled out, not knowing why, she just said: "If you don't learn, you don't learn."

When the prince arrived in the inner hall, he said sullenly, "What is there to read? Reading is so boring!"

Fuyi hurriedly pulled him and said: "Don't, it will be boring if you enter the East Palace in the future. My father will definitely send a lot of people to watch you and teach you how to read."

The prince frowned delicately, and said dissatisfiedly: "I went to the East Palace, what about you?"

Fuyi stopped talking.

The crown prince didn't know that this Fuyi was the son of King Ning, but he thought it was the son of a deceased concubine in the palace. He only thought they were brothers. Besides, the emperor's adoption of Fuyi was only claimed to be the son of a concubine. , Internally, although the concubines and the palace people know that this is King Ning's son, but King Ning is famous outside and has made such a great contribution to Liang, it is reasonable for the emperor to adopt this child. pay.

It's just that this hit Fuyi's sore spot. He didn't know about it, so he felt that he was living under someone else's roof. He said that, but he felt that he should have a palace.

Thinking of this, Fuyi immediately shook her head, this idea is too naive.It's just that he didn't know that the fact that the emperor adopted a son of King Ning was too strange and broke the rules, which was unprecedented.

I am also lucky.

Seeing that he was silent, the prince thought that he was reluctant to part with him, so he just smiled.

Fuyi didn't understand why he laughed, she just felt bored.

After this winter, the prince will be 13 years old. The prince was born on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. On the same day as the Laba porridge, Fuyi always laughed at him by saying: "Laba Laba, you are one year older!"

In ancient times, it was said that a child born in Laba is the destiny of God, the destiny of wealth and honor. In the future, he will have no worries about food and drink, and he is the first child of the royal family.

Because of this birthday, the prince also wished the prince good health when the people celebrated Laba. When the banquet was held in the palace, he could receive a lot of gifts.

Fuyi likes to follow the prince to meet people everywhere. It took a long time for the prince to let the maids put on auspicious clothes for him. For this palace banquet, the imperial kitchen was preparing the ingredients a few days ago. Before noon, all delicacies from mountains and seas were offered up. When Fuyi followed the prince into the hall, his mouth remained open.

Needless to say, this palace banquet obviously had another purpose, the prince knew it just by looking at those little girls.

Those girls were arranged to sing and dance, and the show started before the meal. The prince sat with the emperor, far away from Fuyi, and he was not interested in it, but his father was by his side, so he had to pretend to be very serious.

Fuyi sat with the second and fourth princes, and the concubine Ling came with the fifth prince who was just born. No matter how Fuyi looked at it, she didn't think the little princess was as cute.

Fuyi looked at the dignitaries sitting across from her, and tilted her head, just thinking it was funny, they all stared at the prince, maybe they were watching, whether the prince took a fancy to her daughter, so that a marriage could come.

The banquet was still going on, and Fuyi was already full, so she quietly said to the second prince next to her, "Let's go!"

The second prince understood the rules, he only said: "The queen mother hasn't left yet."

Fuyi pursed her mouth and said dissatisfiedly: "What's the matter, I'm full."

The eight-year-old fifth prince over there also said: "I'm full too!"

Fuyi whispered: "Let's sneak out!"

So, during the time when the maids were serving dishes, Fuyi dragged the fifth prince and slipped out. As soon as the two left, the second prince could not bear it anymore and slipped out.

The prince over there watched the three people slip out, and just wanted to report to his father, but after thinking about it, he didn't say anything——

If she said so, Fuyi might be scolded.

But I still have to discuss with my father about which woman is more attractive——

It's really boring!

When he saw Prince Chong's daughter, Li'er, he curled his lips, seeing that her hands and feet were trembling slightly, he couldn't help cursing, this girl is too timid!

The man just doesn't know, the girl is just nervous.

The palace banquet will last for a long time, after Fuyi slipped out, and went back to the palace, she saw Xuemei teaching the maids to sew clothes again.

He suddenly understood, it seems that the prince's marriage is probably already settled——

Otherwise, this palace banquet is just a formality.

Fuyi waited for a long time, and finally finished teaching this room, Fuyi hurriedly grabbed a little maid.

The little maid was pulled by the third prince, she panicked and asked, "What's wrong with the third prince?"

"Can you teach me how to tie a knot? That's what Sister Xuemei taught you last time."

The palace maid hurriedly shook her head and said: "I don't dare to serve as a servant, if sister Xuemei finds out, she will be beaten."

"I don't tell Sister Xuemei, and you don't tell, isn't that all right?"

The court lady was puzzled: "Why does the Third Highness learn this? This is something that women learn."

"Because the prince wants to learn, I will teach him after I have learned." Fuyi is very serious, "I will be fine if I learn from you, and he will learn how to be beaten from you."

Looking at the innocent face of the third prince, the palace lady was finally defeated. She took him behind the hidden rockery, took out a few red strings from her body, handed some to him, and said, "Here you are. The slave will teach you the easiest double disc long knot."

Fuyi took it over, the lady in the palace fingered very quickly, he couldn't keep up, and failed to learn it a few times. Finally, the lady in the palace took it apart and taught him step by step, and he hurriedly followed it. , couldn't help smiling and said: "Did I learn it?"

The maid took it over and looked at it, and couldn't help laughing: "Third Highness, how can you pull it out without a ring?"

Fuyi leaned over to look at what he made and what the maid made. Sure enough, there was a ring missing on his left side, but it was made!

Just as Fuyi was about to say that she would come again, she heard footsteps from over there. The maid was very alert, and she whispered: "The maidservant is leaving first."

After finishing speaking, the person disappeared, and Fuyi was just marveling at her speed when someone came over there.

The people here are Prince Chong, the crown prince and the emperor, needless to say, they are discussing the matter of the crown princess.

Fuyi hurriedly pretended to be passing by, yelled when she saw someone, and ran away quickly.

The prince didn't even have time to call him, Fuyi ran away without a trace.
