[Comprehensive] Empress Variations

The content on this page of bamboo slips is actually not much, and soon Ying Zheng read the above content to be similar.The bamboo slips record some local conditions and customs of Zhao State, from shallow to deep, very interesting.

He couldn't say he was disappointed with such a content. The bamboo slips that enlightened the little girl couldn't have something so profound.The travel book in his hand is already considered complicated among enlightenment reading materials. Some people will directly use nursery rhymes for enlightenment. In his opinion, such things are really boring.

Ying Zheng raised his head and met a pair of black and white eyes.

Seeing him raise his head, the corners of Xun Ying's lips curved slightly.She blinked, reached out and touched the book on Ying Zheng's lap. "Does Brother Azheng like reading very much? There are many at Yan'er's house."

Gao wanted to teach a talented woman, but she only stipulated how many words Zhao Yan should write a day, but did not stipulate what kind of books to enlighten Zhao Yan.If she taught Zhao Yan personally, she would just pick out a book from among the books she read.

Most of Gao's favorite books are poems and poems, mountain travel notes, and there are few more profound things.Sometimes, if she really saw that Zhao Yan liked the books she used to teach, she would let Zhao Yan take them away.

This time, most of the books that Xun Ying brought to other courtyards were given to her by Mrs. Gao.Therefore, travel notes and poems and songs accounted for the majority.

However, whether it is in this other courtyard or in the palace.The courtyards where they live are all equipped with special study rooms, and the books in the study rooms are really diverse.Even if some books are never read by anyone, they are just placed there as decorations.

In the study room of the other courtyard, there are not only books read by Mrs. Gao.King Zhao also set foot in this other courtyard more than once when the Gao family was most favored.This study was mostly used by him at that time, and the books in it covered all aspects, which seemed very grand.

In the study room of the courtyard where they lived in the palace, there were many books that King Zhao asked his servants to move in after he heard that Zhao Yan was practicing calligraphy.How could King Zhao care whether the books he rewarded were for the prince or the princess? There are many books that can be used when teaching the prince.

Like it?Of course I like it.Ying Zheng likes to read very much, as can be seen from his cherishment of books.Children born in the royal family are relatively precocious, and their parents will educate them early.

From the beginning of his memory, Ying Zheng knew that he was different from those who were called princes.Even though he also came from the royal family, he was not from the royal family of Zhao.His father is the flesh and blood abandoned by his own country, just a proton.How could his child of the proton be looked up to by others.

Every day, my father is busy making friends with dignitaries from all over the world, and my mother doesn't seem to attach much importance to him.Naturally, they would not think of arranging for Mr. to teach him to read and practice calligraphy.

Ying Zheng is able to read now because he bribed the court ladies and eunuchs with some gadgets to teach him how to read, and even got some books from them.Although there is no systematic teaching, his learning speed is not slower than anyone else.While other children were thinking about how to play, he was thinking about how to engrave what he learned today in his mind so that he would never forget it.

Things that are easily obtained are not so important. He will naturally cherish what he has obtained with a little effort.

Zhao Wang wanted to kill their mother and son, and they escaped from the palace with the help of some people, but their mother and son were not sent back to Qin, but stayed here.

Their lives were significantly worse than those in the palace, and even his clothes became rougher and rougher.He was growing up day by day, and the clothes he brought out from the palace were no longer suitable.When wearing such clothes on the body for the first time, the rough fabric scratched the skin with red marks.

Under such circumstances, he naturally has no source of books.Even if you get a few pages of bamboo slips occasionally, they are not very complete.Even some of the above content are just market words.

"It's okay." Ying Zheng rolled up the bamboo slips and handed them to Zhao Yan.When he heard her question, he was moved for a moment.But in the end, he suppressed his heartbeat.

With his current appearance, there is really nothing that Yan'er can plot.The reason why she appeared here was just to treat him as a playmate.If he got the book he wanted from Yan'er because of Yan'er's closeness to him, it would be a naked use.

Xun Ying reached out to take the bamboo slips that Ying Zheng handed over.The current Ying Zheng is obviously not to the point where he can't show his emotions and anger. She can clearly see the instant burning in his eyes.Books are very tempting to Ying Zheng, but this temptation is suppressed by himself.In his seemingly indifferent tone of "it's okay", he was somewhat disappointed.

She took the initiative to ask Ying Zheng if he liked books, and if he said he liked books, it was just going along with the flow.Such an indifferent appearance is easy for children to take seriously.If the person in front of him is really Zhao Yan, he will definitely not be able to get anything from her in the future.

"Come on, I'll teach you archery." Ying Zheng stood up, patted the dust off his clothes, and stretched out his hand to Zhao Yan.

Xun Ying put her palm on Ying Zheng's. The boy's hand was slightly bigger than the girl's, just enough to wrap her hand.There was still a thin layer of calluses on his palm, and when he passed her immature palm, it looked even rougher.of

Ying Zheng pulled Zhao Yan to the tree, carried the quiver on his back, picked up the bow in his hand, and walked into the woods.After walking for a while, Ying Zheng stopped.

"See that tree in front of you?" Compared with the other trees, the tree Ying Zheng pointed to had more traces of arrows on its body.He often practices archery here, even if he can hit prey with a bow and arrow now, his practice has not stopped.

"En." Xun Ying nodded while talking.

Ying Zheng let go of Zhao Yan's palm, and pulled out a sharpened wooden arrow from behind him.He put the wooden arrow away, stretched out his hand and pulled the bowstring, and let go without too much pause.The wooden arrow pierced the bark and stayed in the middle.He walked to the tree and took back the wooden arrow he had shot.

No matter how powerful Ying Zheng is now, he is only a six-year-old child.His strength was much weaker than that of an adult, and he didn't pierce the wooden arrow deep into the tree, so naturally he didn't need much strength to pull it out.

"Yan'er, try it." Ying Zheng took out a new wooden arrow and handed it to Zhao Yan together with the bow.

Xun Ying put the book in her hand under a big tree not far away, trotted back to Ying Zheng, and took the bow and arrow in her hand.The bowstring is drawn in a decent way, but anyone who is familiar with bows and arrows can see that she is sitting like this.

Seeing her like this, Ying Zheng stood directly behind her and reached out to help her into the correct posture.

"Can I let go now?!" Xun Ying glanced sideways at Ying Zheng, with anticipation naturally in her eyes.

Zhao Yan's strength is much weaker than his, and if he draws the bowstring for too long, he will feel tired.With his current vision, he can see that the possibility of her shooting the bow and arrow out like this and hitting the big tree is really very small.

Ying Zheng reached out to attach Xun Ying's hand, and followed her movements to draw the bowstring a little further. "Okay."

Xun Ying let go of her palm and watched the arrow pass through the bark.However, it only passed through the bark.The bow and arrow shook a few times on it, and then fell down.Being able to achieve such a result for the first time is considered pretty good.Although...she still has Ying Zheng to assist her.

"Am I amazing?!" Xun Ying looked up at Ying Zheng with a bright smile.

"Hmm." Ying Zheng let go of his palm, and the corners of his lips curved slightly.Although it was a small arc, it made him look less mature, and he finally had a little more innocence that a child of this grade would have.

"Come again." Xun Ying reached out to Ying Zheng, and Ying Zheng took out another wooden arrow and handed it to her.

After that, Ying Zheng stopped helping her behind Xun Ying, and after helping her correct her movements, he stepped aside.Zhao Yan was alone, and it was difficult for the bow and arrow to even touch the big tree.

I haven't encountered it a few times, so naturally I don't want to continue with the disposition of a child.It seems that she can see her thoughts, every time Zhao Yan wants to give up, Ying Zheng will teach her again.In this way, Zhao Yan would not say give up.

Although Ying Zheng is young, he has a good look when he teaches Zhao Yan.

Ying Zheng took out the last new bow and arrow from the quiver, and watched Zhao Yan put the wooden arrow on the bowstring.The moment she shot the arrow, his eyes lit up slightly.Sure enough, as he expected, the arrow hit the big tree, and the distance from the center was not too far away, which was much better than just touching the bark.

"It's good this time." Ying Zheng looked away, and he met Xun Ying's sparkling eyes.

Zhao Yan seemed to want to continue, but when he saw the empty quiver behind Ying Zheng, he put the bow back in Ying Zheng's hand.Trotted to pick up the bows and arrows that fell on the ground, Ying Zheng also bent down and began to pick up those bows and arrows.

Xun Ying put the last arrow back into the quiver, clapped her palms, and took back the book under the tree. "Next, what are we going to do?!"

"It's time for you to go back. Your family will be worried if you've been out for such a long time." Ying Zheng reminded Zhao Yan.Although they didn't get along for a long time, it could be seen that Zhao Yan would not forget other things just because he was having fun.It was very rare for her to leave the servants around her and come here to find him.

"En." Zhao Yan lowered his head slightly, his voice was much lower than before.Just now it was obvious that she was happy and even a little excited, but now her depression was written on her face.

Ying Zheng took Zhao Yan's hand that was hanging by his side, and led her back. "I'll take you back. Whenever you want to find me, just come here, and I will always be there."

"Hmm!" Xun Ying raised her head and looked at Ying Zheng's back, her voice was visibly brighter.

Ying Zheng sent Zhao Yan to the flower field, and then let go of his hand.Seeing her disappear into the sea of ​​flowers again, he turned his head and started his day's training.

After Xun Ying returned to Huahai, she didn't hear any sound at all, but it was very easy for her to find someone.Following Bichun's breath, she looked for it.After pushing aside the flowers, she saw Bichun sitting among the flowers and looking at those bamboo slips.The moment she heard the sound of the flowers fluttering, she turned her head.

"Little master, you can be considered to be back. If you don't come back, the maidservant will go back to the other courtyard and tell Madam." Bichun stood up holding the bamboo slips.She searched the flowers back and forth several times, but she couldn't find Zhao Yan's shadow.This flower bush is so big, if she really wants to hide, it is impossible for her to find it.

She was already planning to tell Madam, but she thought that Zhao Yan came back by herself yesterday, waiting at the place where she and Zhao Yan lost.Fortunately, Zhao Yan really found it.

"You don't need to tell mother. Didn't you say that mother is very busy? I will be back on time in the future." Xun Ying shook her head hastily, she reached out to grab the corner of Bi Chun's clothes, and there was an obvious pleading in her eyes.

"Little master, next time you go out with your servant, the servant will naturally not worry." Naturally, Bichun didn't dare to let Zhao Yan go out alone. If Madam knew about it, she didn't know what kind of punishment she would receive. punishment.Even without any punishment, Zhao Yan, a little girl, is not safe outside.

"But..." Xun Ying naturally knew that this was not a long-term solution.Bichun couldn't find her every time he went out, and Bichun might not take her out again if the number of times was too many.Age is indeed a trouble for her, and the servants around her will want to limit her behavior, although this is because they care about her.

"Little master, it's very dangerous outside. If something happened to you, wouldn't you kill your servants?!" Bi Chun's face showed obvious anxiety.

"Bi Chun, will you take me out tomorrow?!" Xun Ying asked in a low voice.

"If you go out all day, you will definitely not be able to hide it from Madam." Bichun could only refuse with the Madam whom the princess cared about most.

"I see." Xun Ying nodded, her eyes were somewhat dim.Then she seemed to think of something, and she stretched out two fingers to Bichun. "If you don't go out every day, then go out once every two days?"

"This..." Bichun Xinxia sighed a little, if Zhao Yan insisted on going out, she, a slave, would have no way to refuse.She had no choice but to tell Madam.However, Madam doesn't have time to take care of the young lady's affairs now, her eyes are full of another person now.

She hoped in her heart that the madam could stop her hand as soon as possible, and they could return to the palace as soon as possible.No matter what interesting things outside are attracting the princess, she will naturally not think about it after returning to the palace.Even if I thought about it when I first went back, after a long time, I will gradually forget it.

"Is there any place you can't take your slaves with you? If you let your slaves follow, you can go out every day." Bi Chun knew that Zhao Yan didn't want her to follow her, but she still wanted to struggle.

"That's a secret. If Bichun finds out, it won't be fun." Xun Ying's eyes lit up, with a weird look on her face.

"You shouldn't go out for too long every time." Bichun emphasized again, which also showed her compromise.

"Well. Bichun, you don't have to worry. There is nothing dangerous around this other courtyard. If the father is able to build another courtyard here, naturally he has already inspected it." The smile on Xunying's lips became brighter.

Bichun nodded, really relieved.She looked at Zhao Yan who was walking in front, a bit dumbfounded.As an adult, she was persuaded by the underage princess.Forehead

Sure enough, Zhao Yan didn't ask about going out these two days, and he was much more obedient and quiet than before.Staying alone in the study can last an entire afternoon.She used a pen to copy some books on the silk cloth, and seemed to regard this as a new game.

Bichun thought that children's interests always come and go quickly.She hoped that after Zhao Yan found a new way of entertainment, he would forget about going out, and she would be less worried for a few days.Following Zhao Yan and approaching the study, seeing Zhao Yan pull out a few bamboo slips from the study, she felt much more relaxed.

Zhao Yan piled up the bamboo slips, picked them up and tried them himself.After that, she took out a few pages of the bamboo slips, and after several experiments, she carried the bamboo slips and walked out of the study.

"Prince, what are you going to do?!" Bichun reached out to take what was in Zhao Yan's hand, but she dodged it.

Xun Ying glanced at Bi Chun, her face was extremely serious.She frowned slightly, looking extraordinarily serious. "Bichun, didn't you promise me a few days ago that you would take me out every two days? You want to go back on your word?!"

Anyone who has met Ying Zheng will find that the expression on her face at this time is somewhat similar to that of Ying Zheng.

This is the first time Bichun has seen Zhao Yan like this, and she couldn't help being afraid when she thought of the identity of Zhao Yan's princess.People in this era have a fear of royal power almost deep in their bones. "The slaves dare not."

"Then hurry up." Xun Ying raised the corners of her lips slightly, and she returned to her previous delicate appearance, and she no longer had the seriousness just now.

Bichun Xinxia relaxed a little, but the scene just now was engraved in her mind.When she gets along with Zhao Yan in the future, she will definitely be more rigorous.She looked at the bamboo slips in Zhao Yan's hands, "Princess, are these books to be held by servants?"

"No, this is what I need later." Xun Ying tightly hugged the book.What she said was that she would use it later, not that she would read it later.It's just a word difference, but the meaning is very different.

Bichun nodded and followed behind Zhao Yan.She looked at those few pages of books, which probably happened to be the amount that Zhao Yan could copy in a day.Could it be that the princess just copied these books in another place?Bichun felt that this possibility was very small, she followed closely behind Zhao Yan this time, and did not want to be thrown off by her.However, after the two of them walked around in the flowers for a few times, she couldn't see Zhao Yan's figure.

The child's nimble body is really hard to find among the flowers, and the princess is obviously smarter than ordinary children.She often used her small body to pass between two flowers and trees.If Bichun wanted to walk by, he would have to brush the two trees aside, so that he would be a little slower than Zhao Yan.

……

Ying Zheng finished the barbecue in front of him and trot along the road.Walking to a place where the river was relatively shallow, he couldn't help slowing down his pace, and glanced up.Except for the lush flowers, there is nothing else to see at all.

He has long seen that Yan'er is either rich or noble. In such a family, it is very rare for a girl to run out alone for two days.With these two incidents, those servants who serve girls must be more careful.

Just about to quicken his pace and run over, he saw a small figure emerging from among the flowers.She was still holding a bunch of things in her hands, and she was extra cautious when walking down.

Ying Zheng quickly turned around and ran over, not caring that the river wetted his shoe uppers.He walked up to Zhao Yan and reached out to take the bamboo slip in her hand. "Why do you bring so many books today? It's so heavy, you can't read them all."

He frowned slightly after receiving the book. When Zhao Yan was with him, he spent most of his time doing other things, and probably didn't have much time for reading.With such a heavy book, if Zhao Yan is not careful, it may be dangerous.Those servants around her dare to let her take it?

"I'm here to learn archery. These books are for Brother Ah Zheng. You have to read them before I leave." Xun Ying smiled as usual.

Ying Zheng stopped involuntarily, and Zhao Yan, who was closely behind her, bumped into her back without any precaution.When he turned his head, he only saw Zhao Yan holding his nose with one hand, teary, and his heart was filled with warmth.Only then did he realize how wonderful it is to be cared about aimlessly.

"I'll finish watching it before you leave." Ying Zheng didn't express his thanks, he only knew that he couldn't let the little guy down.Being able to read these books before she leaves will allow her to go back without any regrets.Two days ago, he couldn't see the little guy's disappointment, and he couldn't see it today.

Xun Ying walked back with Ying Zheng, she took Ying Zheng's bow and arrow in her hand, and walked towards their familiar place.

Zhao Yan was practicing archery at the place where she was studying two days ago, and Ying Zheng found a place not far from her to sit down.He looked up and saw Zhao Yan put the arrow on the bow in a similar manner, and then he lowered his head.

After reading only a few lines, he realized that the content of this book was not the travel notes he thought, but the strategy of governing the country that he wanted to read most.Such books are not as easy to obtain as travel notes, I am afraid she has spent some thought.

It was rare for Ying Zheng not to be immersed in the book for the first time. He couldn't help but raised his head again, and met a pair of eyes secretly looking this way.

"Father... father likes to read these books, and I think you will like them too." Xun Ying repeated a word when talking about her father.Zhao Yan is used to addressing his father, not father.

"I like it very much." Ying Zheng nodded.

"If you like them, read them carefully." Xun Ying looked away and continued to shoot arrows.

Ying Zheng looked down at the written words, with rare warmth in his eyes.The warmth in the eyes didn't last long, and it returned to the calmness of the past.The whole person is obsessed with books, and the brows are very serious, which makes it easy for people to ignore his age.
